WILSON ASKS /. MORE MONEY FOR EUROPE Unthinkable We Should Withhold Relief” He Says in Letter to Glass. WAHnJTON, Jan. 20.— President Wilson yesterday requested Secretary of the Treasury Glass to make another appeal to .congress for an appropriation of $150,000,000, to be used In rellorlngr starring populations in Poland, Austria and Armenia. Wilson, In s letter to Glass, expressed regret that congress had not already authorized this loan. The appropriation is pending before congress. It has been urged by Herbert Hoorer, Gen. Bliss and others who declare starvation will kill thousands if this Appropriation Is not authorized. The president’s letter follows: ‘ With considerable regret I have noticed from the press that congress is delaying the granting of authority for the extension of prompt and generons relief to the stricken portions of Europe, the urgency and importance of which, especially in Poland, Austria and Armenia, you have already explained to the ways and means committee. APPALLING SITUATION DEMANDS RELIEF. “It is unthinkable to me that we should withdraw from these people who are in such mental and physical distress the assistance which can'be rendered by making available on credit a small portion of our exportable surplus of food which would alleviate the situation. "While I am sure that you must have fully explained to the ways and means committee the appalling situation In these parts of Europe, where men, woman and children are now dying of starvation, and the urgent necessity for prompt assistance, I beg of you to make anbther appeal to congress. GREAT CATASTROPHE 6EEN IMPENDING. “I am Informed through the published report of hearing* before the ways and means committee" that congress has now been furnished with Incontrovertible facts showing the necessity for lmmedl- , ate affirmative action. This prosperous republic ought not to hear any part of the responsibility for the moral and material chaos that must result from an unwillingness on our part to aid those less fortunate than ourselves. We can not, merely to husband a small portion of our surplus, permit the happening of this great catastrophe. (Signed.) “WOODROW WILSON.” Action by she house ways and means committee was deferred again today on the proposed $150,000,000 food relief loan to Poland, Austria and other western European countries. Secretary of Treasury Glass was in secret session foi some time with the committee explaining the financial condition of the treasury. ”

GOMPERS RAPS SOVIET SYSTEM Labor Head Declares Radical Plan Floors Working Man. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Declaring that the constitution of bolshevism In Russia provides for and enforces compulsory labor, Samuel Gompers, in an editorial today in the American Federationlst, denounces the soviet government. The plea to withhold judgment from bolshevist Kussia on the ground that ‘We know nothing about Russia’ Is a plea based op a false assumption,” says Mr. Gompers, “and It should be denied a hearing for the Teason that we do know Russia In all of those essentials which are necessary in passing judgment on bolshevism. “We know about Russia; we know about bolshevism; we the piteous story of cruelty and Intolerance, and we know the autocratic concept that underlies the minority dictatorship which Is hailed to the world by its dupes and advocates as the most perfect state of society yet devised. * “We know tybout It, and we condemn It completely and finally and for all time.” A-number of unions which are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor have adopted resolutions either expressing sympathy forgthe soviet government in Russia or asking that Judgment by the American people be withheld until more is known of internal conditions In Russia and the practical working of the Le-nine-Trotzky regime.

Has All Thrills of Movies Right in His Bedroom CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.—T0 William Lewis it had all the marks of a Mack Bennett movie scene, minus the bathing beauties. He was awakened from a sound sleep by the crash which tore open hia door. Three men catapulted in, one dived under the bed, another got behind a trunk and the third hid behind a door. A clatter of hurrying footsteps and four policemen, flourishing revolvers and electric torches, rushed into the room and peered Into the clothes closet and under the carpet. Another clatter and three firemen, armed with fire axes and monkey wrenches were in the room. Lewis sat with hands to his head, wildeyed, as the policemen- and firemen dragged the three from their hiding places and bundled them off. “It’s all right,” said one officer on the way out "These guys were pulling a holdup near the fire house when we came along and they ran In here to hide.” VANNUYS OPENS FIGHT TO OUST ALL COMMUNISTS Files Charges Against German Radical Arrested in Vincennes Raid. War was declared on the communist party in Indiana yesterday. With the filing of a petition to cancel the citizenship certificate of Joseph Buebardt, Vincennes, Ind., United States District Attorney Frederick VajhNuys started what appears to be the beginning of a clean sweep of radicals of this type from the state. “Communism shall not take root In Indiana,” be said. It has been recently ruled by the secretary of the department of labor that membership In the communist party is sufficient to warrant deportation. Mr. VanNuys will act under this ruling in an effort to deport every red in Indiana of an alien birth, who Is affiliated with the party. Bucbardt, who Is a naturalized citizen, was-arrested In Vincennes, Ind., during the red raids of Jan. 3. He Is a German by birth. It Is set out in the petition that he was naturalized Feb. 10, 1917, in the circuit court ol Greene county and that he obtained his citizenship by fraud. , The defendant was said to have been the secretary and treasurer of the communist organization in Vincennes, chartered as “German (No. 25) Branch.” He is alleged to have received applications for membership into the communist party, collected dues and forwarded money to the national headquarters of the party In Chicago. Bucbardt Is also said to have spread communist pamphlets and red propaganda in Vincennes. The petition sets forth that Buehardt was a disbeliever In organized government both before and after he was granted citizenship, and furthermore that he advocated the overthrow of the government and the annihilation of government administration by force and revolution. According to the petition, the communist party held a national convention in the city of Chicago Sept. 1 to 9. 1919, and adopted and Issued a manifesto and program In writing declaring its belief in the annihilation and overthrow of the government by force and revolution. It was further stated that this convention approved And ratified a declaration adopted by the congress of International communists hold in Moscow March 2 to 6, 1919, advocating the forcible seizure of the political apparatus of all organized governments and the annihilation of all legislative, judicial and administrative powers of organized government. Should the petition be grunted canceling his citizenship the defendant will probably be cited for deportation with other foreign members of the communist party.

COLD FAILS TO HURT SCHOOLS Attendance Records Nearly Normal for Season. Bad weather of the last two weeks had little effect on attendance at the Indianapolis public schools, according to Superintendent E. U. Graff. Exact figures on the attendance were not available. “The number of pupils absent during the bad weather lias not been nearly so large as might be expected.” Mr. Graff said yesterday. ‘‘ln fact attendance has been little below normal for this time of tbq year.” There has been a good deal of sickness among teachers, but not much. If any, more than upual for January and February, the superintendent said. On one or two days the number of teachers absent has exceeded the number of substitutes available. TEXT BOOK SHORTAGE IS THREATENED. The attendance at the second semester of the public schools will show normal increase the superintendent said. Complete enrollmen figures are not yet available. The principal worry of the school of flclals just now is the ever present one of books. There are in Indianapolis three main distlbutors with about twenty drug stores and other places handling some books. This caused great congestion arid In some instances no books can be obtained because the dealers refuse to buy more than they think they can sell. PROFITS TOO lOW, GRAFF ASSERTS. Superintendent Graff declared yesterday be believed the 12 per eent profit allowed dealers In school books too small. “There is not a retailer In Indianapolis today, I believe, doing business on a 12 per cent margin,” he said. “The dealers in books should be allowed a legitimate profit.” Before the profits were limited to 12 per cent 125 stores handled books. The high school libraries throughout the city today began selling books to those unable to get them at the stores. This practice is followed every year after pupils have been given a chance to purchase outside.

THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED BITRO-PHOSPHATE

What It is and How It Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve Force In Many Instances

SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED BY EVERY DOCTOR / AND USED IN EVERY HOSPITAL Say* Editor of “Physicians' Who's Who."

Take plain bitro-phosphate is the advice of these physicians to thin, delicate, nervoue people who lack vim, energy and nerve force, and there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this preparation to warrant the recommendation. Moreover, If we judge from the countless i reparations and treatments which are ontinually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and' weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern roods. Physicians, claim there is nothing that will supply this (teflciency *o well as the organic phqjSphAe known among as which 1* •a a g

nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transformation In the appearance: the increase In weight frequently being astonishing. Clinical tests made in St. Catherine’s Hospital, N. I. C., showed that two patients gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds, respectively, through the administration of organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt as strong and well for the past twelve years. Increase in weight also carries with it a general Improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

BREAD GOING UP TO 11 CENTS A LOAF HERE Fair Price Committee Agrees to Rise on Account of Increase in Flour. Bread In Indianapolis, beginning tomorrow, will cost 11 cents for a onepound loaf and 10 cents for a one and onehalf pound loaf. The Marlon county fair price committee yesterday agreed to this figure for retailers after hearing wholesale bakers tell how their operating costs had risen since last October throughout the growing demand for "lily-white” bread and the increase in price of high patent flours. The wholesale bakers were given permission to charge 9M> cents for the pound loaf to the retailer and 14 cents for the one and one-half-ponnd loaf. The advance is subject to revision at the end of each month, Fair Price Commisisoner Stanley Wyckoff, who presided at the meeting at the Chamber of Commerce, announced. The bakers must submit to him at the close of business Jan. 31 a statement of their cost of operation for January. A similar report, made under oath. Is to be filed at the end of each month and on ths report the price of bread will be based. This, according to Mr. Wyckoff, will give the department of Justice figures on which to determine whether prices are fair. The bakers told Mr. Wyckoff and the fair price committee that they were entirely out cf the high patent flours which they bought prior to October for from sll to $11.50 per barrel and now were making bread from flour that cost them SJS and more per barrel. The demand for rye bread and similar breads containing low grade flours that can be bought for $lO to $10.50, and which is glutting warehouses, has dropped off 80 to 90 per cent, the bakers declared. Inquiry by members of the committee as to whether or not it is possible to blend low and high grade flours and make satisfactory bread brought out the fact that the United States grain corporation recently had such an experiment made and that it was a flat failure. The bakers produced communications and papers showing this to be a fact.

The standard ot excellence, strength and purity of its substance is beyond question, for every Bitro-Phosphate tablet is manufactured in strict accordance with the U. S.
