B&'-MORIAL BCT TO BE ■Kkedfriday Special Meeting of Committee Called for Chamber of Commerce. CAPITAL LIVELY RIVAL Another attempt to further the movement for a war memorial building to be erected In Indianapolis to house the national headquarters of the American Legion will be made at a meeting of the Indiana war memorial committee, the two political state committees and the local war memorial committee at tbe Chamber of Commerce at noon Friday. The meeting will be held to discuss the threatened removal of the national headquarters to Washington. Walter Myers, a member of the committee appointed by the American Legion to investigate the proposed war memorial building at U. C., has just returned* from the capital. He reports that it is taken for granted at Washington that their building will be the permanent headquarters of the legion. COMMITTEE NAMED BY GOV. GOODRICH. The state memorial committee Is composed of the county chairmen of the Liberty loan campaigns. They were appointed by Gov. Goodrich recently after a committee representing the local war memorial committee had asked that a special session be called to make an appropriation for the project. Charles F. Coffin, president of the Chamber of Commerce, is chairman of the local committee and John B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, is secretary of the committee. The letter of invitation to the political committees to attend the meeting said: “You doubtless know that when the national convention of the American legion selected a permanent location for its headquarters, the capital city of Indiana was chosen in spite of the fact that no concrete proposition was made by the eitiizens who had charge of the matter of landing the headquarters in Indianapolis. Delegates from Washington. D. C., Cleveland, New York City. Kansas City and a number of other places came prepared to and did offer large amounts to be used for the erection of suitable buildings for the national headquarters of the legion, but, with only the assurance that Indiana would do her full duty, as she always has done when patriotism called, the victory was won. MI ST DO SOMETHING BY NEXT CONVENTION. “Nothing is more certain than that 1f Indiana has not made adequate provision for a creditable war memorial by the time the nest national convention the legion meets at Cleveland, in September, these cities will make strenu. ous efforts to reopen the matter of the location of permanent headquarters for the legion, on the theory that Indiana and Indianapolis have failed to do theii duty." The local war memorial committee in addition to the above named, includes Robert H. Tyndal 1 , Charles A. Bookwaiter, Frank D. Stalnaker, Robert L. Moorehoad. Fred Hoke, T. Victor Keene. L. C. Huesmann, Charles H Badger, Bowman Elder, Solon J. Carter, John H. Welch, A. E. Glossbrenner, Felix M. MeWhirter, Edward A. Kahn. Fred BatesJohnson, Walter Myers, Carl A Taylor, Edward B. Raub, A. M.

Our Railroad’s Mechanism ARAILROAD is more than a thing of road-bed and rails and rolling-stock. It is more than mechanism. It is men. * It is safe, swift, sure, because of the brain and brawn of an army of men who labor, day and night, to give you the transportation service you have a right to expect for your money. It is a good road if the men are good workers. They must have character, ability, proper training; they must work under a system which perceives merit and rewards it adequately; they must be filled with a spirit of loyaity to the institution they work for and devotion to the public they serve. Our workers are good men. With some of them you come into personal contact. Many more of them you never see or think about—the train dispatchers, the track-walkers, the men in the repair shops, the purchasers of supplies and equipment, the scientists who set up standards for material and test it, the keepers of records, the officers and men who keep the mechanism running. Yet the work of every one of them has a direct bearing on the service you receive. \ , ! | Our employes are carefully chosen, especially trained in the lesser jobs for the responsibilities of the greater ones, advanced as their capabilities and records prove they deserve advancement, and always inspired with the spirit of our policy that whatever best serves the interests of the public best serves us.
