WARNSOFFALL OF WHITE RACE Senator Capper Declares Yellow People Will Rule Unless Wars Stop. Washington, Jan. 31.—‘"The -white race will fall before the yellow In a great Irar unless the now dominant people abandon militarism for the constructive and friendly policies of peace.” Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas, predicted today In an interview urging disarmament a (he only wise and progressive course. "Should militarism continue," declared Capper, “there will be long conflict before (he light of civilization is snuffed out, but it will be pnt out if wars and preparations for wars go on. "Another great world war will, I believe, bring about the downfall of the bow dominant races as proof of their tinfltness to rule the world peaceably and Svlsely. The white man is already far outnumbered by the yellow. Unless the tfhite man’s policy ia constructive, commercially, fair and honestly friendly he Will have to step down and the yellowakinned people, with their alien customs and pagan ideals, will rule.” Capper pointed out that of the appropriations for the fiscal year of 1920, 6S per cent went to pay for past wars; 25 per cent was used in preparing for war, w*hlle only 7 per cent went for civil activities, public works, science and education. “The military moloch,” continued Capper, is absorbing 83 per cent of the Federal revenues, which exceed $4,000,000,000 a year. And constant demands are made for more. With the Government unable to raise sufficient taxes to meet a $2,000,000,000 deficit, with nearly $3,000,000,000 of war obligations maturing within two years and with the Treasury borrowing $2,000,000 from month to month at 6 per cent interest, we are asked for more armaments. “There are signs, I am glad to of a return to reason. Senator Harding's plea for an army of 150,000, the Borah resolution for a disarmament conference nnd his later one for suspension of naval building for six months and the reduction of the Army by Congress to 175,000 all have given a great impetus to public opinion. “The world won’t tamely see this eountry embroiled In another war. Amer lea is civilization’s sheet anchor and civilization knows it. Therefore why continue the folly of great armaments?” Blow, Meant for Mule, Nearly Kills Father Special to The Times. WARSAW, Ind., Jan. SI.—A balky tnule probably will be the cause of tne , death of Albert Wood, prominent Kosciusko County farmer residing near here.

Unusual Book Requests Come to Librarians Irvington Branch Scene of Amusing Incidents While Serving Public. The Irvington branch library is the scene of many amusing Incidents. Nearly every day brings anew request for some very peculiar soH of book, one by ‘Mean Scrappln’ Porter” being the very latest. Miss Esther Bans supplied the demand by a book by Jean Stratton Porter and “all was well.” Daily requests for the “Garden of Olives” have been silenced by the appearance of the “Garden of Allah,” just returned from the bindery. One of the newest borrowers, a child of 7, came to the library for a book for his sister, and one for his mother. In selecting books for other members of the family it is customary for a librarian to find out how old the older brother or sister may be. So the usual question, “How old is your sister?” was asked. “She is 10,” replied the boy. Then, thinking it might be best to volunteer all other necessary Information, he added, "And my mother is 87 years old!” Horace Is a very precocious child of 10. Usually he is the ringleader of most disturbances, but at the same time he is on very good terms with Mrs. Louise Payne, librarian of Irvington branch. Recently he came to the library about 6 o’clock and, after selecting a book, started to leave without making the usual noise. Suddenly he turned around and said to Mrs. Payne with digust: “Ain't it the limit? I’m going to a party tonight and sent my shoes to be fixed and they ain’t done yet! I’m goin’ to have to wear my boots. Ain't it the limit?” Re stalked out. Not long ago while the library was very, very quiet a tiny voice began to sing, “Trust aud Obey.” The mother immediately silenced the child and went on looking for something to read. Three times the notes resounded through the library and three times the mother put a stop to the strains. The youngster was not satisfied, however. He remained very still, but witched his chance. When his mother was farthest away he began his song and sang it to the end, much to the consternation of the mothpr, and amid the smiles of every one in the library. His little missionary work ended, the youugster”was satisfied. He was still the rest of the afternoon. There Is always something happening at the Irvington library, even if it is nothing more than a request for “Mrs. Wiggs Os the ’Garbage’ Patch.” The steady increase in patronage and the growth, month by month, is indicative of the satisfaction and service given. Miss Marion Saylor, Miss Esther Baus anl Mrs. Louise Payne are the librarians. Extension Division Will Use Library Use of the business branch library during the noon hour has been granted to the Indiana University extension division for this week to accommodate business men and women who desire information about the evening courses, which begin Feb. 7.
