BRITAIN GOES SLOWLY WHILE WAITING ON U.S. Peace League Ticklish Problem for Press and Officialdom Now. PERSUASION IS UNWISE LONDON, Jan. 9.—England, its press and public men, show a belated but nevertheless solid realization of the unwisdom of attempting direct persuasion of America on such subjects as the league of nations, the "peace treaty and the proposed mandate for Turkey. A few months ago every move in the peace battle was followed by Immediate and fulsome comment and opinion in the editorial columns, and by pronouncements by public men. Today Paris and London and Rome and Berlin still consider it open season for comment and word wars when any emergency or shifting of the pawns oi peace give cause. But when some new move is made in the United States, or some message comes from the whitehouse there lea visible, almost audible pause before any opinions are ventured on the subject. America has broken bounds, and nobody on this side of the writer is sure Just bow extensive the break is. Certain American correspondents writing for the British press reassure John Bull and tell him that the “states will come around all right.” Certain prominent Americans here on official and semi-official business tell a similar story. But these statements fall to carry binding conviction to the experts of the written word who are lodged in various sanctums along Fleet street. They also fall of complete convietlon with most of /the prominent occupants of offices along Whitehall. THINKS AMERICA WILL COME ACROSS. Both the editor and the official would like to believe that Col. John Buchan sized up the situation correctly when he spoke at an American Correspondents association luncheon. Buchan referred to the Biblical analysis of the three kinds of men i The one who says “1 go,” and goetlj; the one who says "I go” and goeth not, r.nd, finally, the one who saya *T goeth not,” but ultimately goeth The last, he declared, was a Scotch trait, and in America today this Scotch trait Is dominating. Both the editor and the official would like to believe that America is merely displaying a bit of Scotch caution and stubbornness, but neither can convince himself entirely of this. So comment on America languishes. ' Public comment on America’s move, or refusal to move, on the peace question, the league and the mandate, has not entirely ceased, of course, but it has diminished about 80 per cent, and it is interlarded with cautiously worded reservations. If the senate makes some big move today, it may be day after tomorrow instead of tomorrow, before any real comment appears in the press. Heads get together, evidently, and there are conferences and careful supervision of ideas. The comment, wheh it appears, is much more likely today to recognize America’s right to her own opinions than It was six or eight months ago. CAUTION POLICY TOIVARD AMERICA. The people who deal in that volatile commodity, public opinion, have become very cautious as regards America. They have lost the knack, for the moment, of estimating the probable reaction in the states, of any given line of comment here and for the most part they are inclined to venture nothing that might by any possible chance prove a boomerang. As in the days before we entered the war, America is England's great question mark. In those days England came after our good will and sought our ‘'salvation” openly and with columns of space and hours of public speaking. Today, undoubtedly, her hattle to re-win America is still being waged, but the publicity side of the evangelistic work has. slipped a cog. She has lost the pulse beat of American opinion, and until she regains it editors and public men show a desire to proceed slowly and with exceeding care.

PARIS, Jan. . 9.—France Is preparing for the greatest battle of,politics, policies, intrigues and attacks ever experienced in the nation’s history.

BETTER BABIES REQUIRE BODY BUILDING FOOD By I)R. DOROTHY R. MENDENHALL. United States Children’s Bureau. Two things are essentiak in feeding a child. First of all. plenty of food must be provided, for relative to its size a child requires more food than an adult. Second, food of the sort that will build new body tissues must be included In the diet. We must remember that a healthy child is growing and gaining in weight at the rate of about five pounds a year, except during the first year ot life and for a year or two at puberty when he should gain about twelve pounds annually. Normal health can not be produced on a limited diet, or on a diet lacking milk, green vegetables and eggs, which are the chief tissue building foods. The priceless foods in childhood are milk and green vegetables. Every child is better for a pint and a half of milk in his daily diet. If less than a pint Is provided It is a difficult matter to supply him with the necessary lime to build his bones. If egg. meat or fish are not given dally, the child must have a quart of milk a day; this much animal food is an absolute essential for growth. Cereals, bread and potato furnish the bulk of the diet, and make the child feel satisfied. A child’s meals should -7 be given at reg< ular hours, and should be well and simply cooked. Timd must be taken to eat and to enjoy a meal. Dinner at noon is better than an evening dinner for a young child, as he is apt to go to bed earlier and to sleep more soundly after a light supper than after a heavy meal. A school child may have to have dinner at night; if so, easily digested food should be chosen and it should be properly cooked. After school, if the child is too hungry to “last” until supper, he should

When brought before the senatorial commission investigating the charge* of treason against him, he attacked the permanent officials of the French foreign office as having supplied information to his enemies in their campaign against him. His opponents, however, point to his relationship with 8010 Pasha, convicted later for treason, and with Malvy, the banished minister. They intend to show papers pointing to Caillaux’* efforts for bringing about an early peace with Germany, “thus encouraging the hopes of our enemies.”

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1920.
WHO’LL CARRY HOOSIER HONOR IN BIG RACE? State Has Record of 19 Candidates in National Campaigns Since 1868. IN DOUBT THIS YEAR Who will be Indiana’s candidate In the national election this year? ' Indiana has the unique record of having had one or more candidates for either president or vice president in every campaign, with one exception, since the Civil war. Consequently many are looking for some, one to continue this record. Since 1868 Indiana men have sought either the presidency or the vice presidency nineteen times. Asa result it has become a matter of course for one political party or the other to nominate an Indiana candidate. The tradition that Indiana is a “pivotal” state has had much to do with this. In 1868 Schuyler Colfax was Gen. Grant’s running mate knd gave Indiana’ the vice presidency for the first time. The following campaign there were numerous parties in the field, branching in many directions on reconstruction problems. Thomas A. Hendricks was an unsuccessful candidate for president. Indiana also had a candidate for vice president that year on tjse “liberal” ticket. He was George W. Julian, who attracted only a very few votes. During the next succeeding campaign Indiana came into prominence with Hendricks as the vice presidential candidate on the democratic ticket. He was unsuccessful. In 1880 William H. English was Indiana’s democratic candidate He failed to be elected. Hendricks was elected in 1884 as Cleveland's running mate. HARRISON ELECTED BY REPUBLICANS IN 1888. In 1888 Indiana was represented by | Benjamin Harrison as a republican can- j didate for president. He was successful. \ but when he ran a second time, 1892, was \ defeated by Cleveland. Then came 1896, j one of the most famous campaign years : In the history of America and Indiana 1 did not have a candidate. The following campaign Indiana’s reputation ns a home of candidates was saved when Eugene V. Debs of Terre j Haute appeared on the scene as socialist candidate for president. Indiana was not ! to be without a candidate for four campaigns. He went William Jennings Bryan one better in the number of races, j Indiana returned to “big time” politics in 1004, when Charles Warren Fairbanks was made Theodore Roosevelt’s running mate. In 1908 John Worth Kern went down to defeat as Bryan’s running mate j The same year Samuel Williams of Indiana was a candidate of the “people's” ticket, though few people knew it. In 1912 and 1918 Indiana succeeded in sending Thomas Riley Marshall to Washington as vice president. But 1916 was the banner year for Indiana candidates. Both Marshall and Fairbanks were running for vice president; Debs was running for president on the socialist ticket and J. Frank Hanly was a candidate for president on the prohibition ticket. POSSIBILITIES THIS YEAR APPEAR UNCERTAIN. What the future bolds can only be determined by the national conventions that assemble this summer. Indiana’s politics have always appeared uncertain. There has always been a balancing power of Independent voters which has made the result in the state a “toss-up." j Consequently, the conventions usually j chose a candidate from Indiana, in order j to swing that vote. It was often re- 1 marked that “as Indiana goes, so goes ! the nation.” But this adage failed in i the last election, when Indiana voted !
republican and the nation went demoocratic by a vary small margin. Consequently, Indiana may not be considered a pivotal state when the con ventions meet. Undoubtedly both cnoventlons will hear of Indiana’s “favorite sons.” At every election delegations go to each convention boosting a "favorite son,” and in nearly every ease one or more delegation returns with a candidate. At the present time there appear to be three possibilities for Indiana to repeat and thus uphold its reputation as the producer of candidates. These possibilities are Thomas R. Marshall, Tames P. Goodrich and James E. Watson. Why Handkerchiefs Were Made Square Handkerchiefs were not always square. There was a time jvben they were made In various shapes, to suit the user’s fancy. But this displeased Queen Marie Antoinette, according to historic gossip. Following her suggestion that good taste would be shown by a uniform shape Louis XI issued a decree in 1785, that all pocket handkerchiefs have right angle edges.

New Agency Will Aid Americanization Work Hereafter Anew Americanization agency has been found In the kindergarten. The discovery of this institution’s value la the work of Americanizing the otherwise foreign portion of American cities, has been made by a number of business men. Letters telling the success of kindergartens, maintained by manufacturers for the children of their employes, hare been received by the United States bureau of education. The great benefit of using this means to reach the foreign element is that it takes the children at the most impressionable ttlme of life and trains them in honesty, efficiency and morality. Here little foreigners may learn America’s songs and hlstor and at the same time absorb Its democratic aplrits. Another benefit pointed ont is that the kindergarten engages the Interest of the

We believe that kindergarten work is of untold value in the development of industry, loyalty, patriotism, civic and social responsibility.” Another typical statement is: "I would sooner close our schools than the kindergarten.
