HALF-HEARTED AMERICANISM IS DENOUNCED Governor and U. S. Attorney Speak at Muncie Meeting. KETCHAM IS DEFENDED Special to The Times. MUNCIE, May 10.—One of the largest and most enthulsastic audiences ever gathered together In this city attended the big Americanization meeting of the American Legion last night. In point o' numbers and enthusiasm the meeting proved to be the equal of the Indianapolis meeting held several weeks ago. The principal speeches of the evening were made by Frederick Van Nuys, United States District Attorney ; Governor Warren T. McCray, Edwin P. Morrow, governor of Kentucky, and Henry J. Ryan, ('director of Americanization work for the legion. Large delegations from all parts of the Eighth Congressional district were present. Oswald Ryan of Anderson, chairman of the meeting, read telegrams from President Harding and former Vice President Marshall, expressing regret at their inability to be present. Adulterated Americanism end hyphenated Americanism came ir. for a severe grilling at the hands of Mr. Van Nuys, end his suggestion that in view of the recent action of forty members of the Massachusetts Legislature in condemning William It. Ketcham, commander-ln-chief of the O. A. R.. for his statements on “one language, one country, one flag," that Plymouth Rock be moved from Massachusetts to Indiana, met with the hearty approval of the large audience. Governor McCray, his speech, advocated the Inoculation of American ideals in the child from the earliest age, and made a strong plea for an undiluted Americanism. In part Mr. Van Nuys said: “This Is the second meeting of this kind that I have attended. The other one was held in Indianapolis recently. It was a wonderful gathering, filled with impressive addresses and patriotic music. “But the most impressive incident of that meeting was an extemporaneous address deliverer} by the national commander of the Gfand Army of the Republic. “In that address, the national commander of that veteran organization called upon a certain comrade in the audience to arise and answer one question. “The question was: ‘On what rests the hope of the republic?’ “In a quavering voice, the veteran replied: ‘One country, one language, and one flag.’ “Taking that as his text. Commander Ketcham, out of a life of vivid, patriotic experiences, plead for a pure, unadulterated Americanism. He attacked the hvphenated American and all semblance of a divided loyalty. “Os course, his remarks found a ready and whole-hearted response in that Indiana audience. Indiana is loyal. Indiana is patrotic. Indiana’s allegiance to the “ American language and the American flag Is not hyphenated. “Vet. this same respected veteran of the Civil War—this National Commantfer of the Grand Army of the Republic—went to Boston a few days after his Indiana address and repeated the same sentiments before the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State Os Massachusetts and he was rebuffed and insulted by a resolution signed by more than forty members of that august body, rebuking Mr. Ketcham for these sentiments. “Now. I am not interested in the color of the skin nor the brogue of the tongue of those Massachusetts law makers who signed that resolution. I do not care

whether their forefathers came over on the Mayflower or squeezed through Kllis Island somewhat later, along with a lot of other undesirables. Most likely the latter is the case. .But whatever they may claim in the way of ancestry, they, themselves, are not true Americans today. They are make-believes. They are veneered Americans. Provoked by a wholesome and unexpected message of patriotism out of.; the middle west, they inadvertently demonstrated their adulterated loyalty and the decent thing for them to d® resign from their Jiigh positions of trust and responsibility and let American laws be made bj- men who are whole-heartedly in sympathy with American institutions. “Judging by these recent events, Con- 1 gressman Vestal could perform no greater service to his country than to 1 introduce and secure the passage of a resolution moving Plymouth Rock from ] Massachusetts to Indiana. “Let us be done with that mandJin tolerance for the man who divides nis, love between two flags. Let's expose | the hypocrisy of that man who wraps the American flag around him as a cloak of protection and cables his savings, every Saturday night, to some “Old Country” for investment, if you hold an American Job, you must love the American Flag. If you like American dollars, you must learn the American language. I know, from personal ex-: perience, of certain colonies in some of our Indiana cities where the American language is never spoken. We have men in court every term who have been in j this country for years and can not speak | a word of English. America is for i Americans, either by birth or adoption;] but that adoption must be evidenced by | more than an infatuation for the American dollar. “Wouldn't you like to live under a , constitution written by Bill Haywood; and Emma Goldman? Wouldn’t you like to rear your children under a government manned by the followers of Trotski and Lenin? "But let me suggest that dnring the lifetime of the four million boys who wore the khaki uniform of the World ; War, these exponents of the Russian j soviet won't make much headway in America. Like the viper which gives notice of its presence by its rattle or its hiss, they can be scotched aod trampled to the earth. ‘‘Without going into’ detail, let me of- j fer this suggestion: It will be safer to 1 entrust-the destinies of this country to I men who may be ploddingly but patriotically sound, than to men who are! ‘kultnrely’ brilliant. The man whose loyalty cannot stand the acid test has no business to invoke the attention or the suffrage of the American people. The next decade in America must be a constructive era. We must build both rapidly and well. There must be no compromising with the enemy. There must be no secret understandings. There must ' be no mental reservations. First, last and all the time the future builders of America must be men who are thor- | oughly imbued with the spirit of*her in-] stitutions. A half-hearted American Is j

worse than a whole-hearted enemy. We can deport the latter, but God save us from the former.” Governor McCray said, in part: “The most dangerous element in our country today is that element which does not realize its responsibility to our Government and is willing to remain inactive and indifferent while the enemies of good government and law and order are spreading abroad their seditious and disloyal propaganda. “Since the close of the war we have heard a great deal of talk of a vague and blatent character about patriotism, Americanism and anti-Bolshevism, “While the terrible struggle was in progress we eagerly responded xo every demand made upon us, no mat.'er how often the demands came or how much hardship accompanied their fulfillment. During those critical days we blindly followed the mandates of those in authority, loyally, and with a degree of fealty, unsurpassed in all history. "Without a question of doubt, of uncertainty, of any plans proposed, we accepted the call and went forward nobly and unselfishly to the task imposed. “Those conditions are now past. The burdens of peace are upon us, bringing before us reconstruction problems which are no less important, or easier to selve than those of war. “These problems are definite and pressing, and the remedies should also be definite and constructive. “Loyalty to American Institutions, respect for the laws of our country, Individual cooperation in the enforcement of the law are not qualities that belong to a condition of war, any more than they belong to a condition of peace. “These great fundamental principles should be so perfectly engrafted into our very natures, that there should be no irregularity or instability in our devotion to their tenets. “They should constitute a part of the very fiber of every American citizen. “The time to begin to inculcate this spirit of Americanism is with the first lessons of early childhood. “Simultaneously with its growth, and development, the child should be taught its duty to its God, its parents, and its country. A definite appreciation of our individual relationship and responsibility to our Government, is the best possible insurance against anarchy and bolshevism. "The natural and logical result of such early and systematic training is that ths child as he grows in understanding, adds to his respect for his Government, knowledge of his country’s ideals, belief in his country's aims, and a natural pride in his country’s history, never forgetting that he himself has a duty 'to perform as subject to the Government.’’ EL WOOD MAYOR DENIES STATEMENT Special to The Times.

Americanization day celebration, which was held at Muncie last night, and that he had declared that the Bolshevist movement is misunderstood In this country, are false, according to a letter Issued by John G. Lewis, Socialist mayor of Elwood. In his explanation of the affair. Mr. Lewis insists that he stands ready at all times to do all In his power to bring about the full and complete Americanization of our citizens. “Mr. Ryan of Anderson did call me by the telephone last Friday,” Mr. Lewis says in his letter, “and he asked me to write a proclamation for the Americanization day meeting at Muncie. He stated he had written letters to all mayors In the Eighth district, but that I would not receive mine in time to give it publicity. I told Mr. Ryan I would much rather wait until I had received the letter so that I might go over it, but that I would issue a statement calling attention to the meeting. “I also told Mr. Ryan that I, personally, was opposed to any movement for the suppression of free speech, and I was particularly opposed to such action as was taken at Greensburg some time ago when a Russelite preacher was driven from the city. “I fully expected to receive a letter from Mr. Ryan but up to the present time have received none. I really attached no Importance to the affair at the time, feeling that upon receipt of the letter I could draft a proclamation that would not be misconstrued in any way and I did issue a statement to a local paper as I promised. “I stand ready at all times to help ip every way possible to bring about the full and complete Americanization of our citizens.’’ 30 Days on Farm for Robbery of Rouse Special to The Times. COLUMBUS, Ind., May 10.—Arthur Rlchman, alias Louis 'White, 19, of Chicago, was sentenced to thirty days at the Indiana State Farm by Judge Donaker In Circuit Court here, following his plea of guilty to a charge of petit larceny. The youth entered and robbed the Lew Marr home near here Saturday afternoon. Rlchman was arrested at Franklin after a chase in which the Hawpatoh norse Thief Association took a leading part. He stated that he had left his home in Chicago after a quarrel with his father and was attempting to obtain means of returning home when he entered the house. The light sentence was given because of a plea for clemency made by Mr. i and Mrs. Marr.

QF highest significance to the is the fact that during those times when the demands for gasoline have been so great as to threaten positive famines, Red Crown, the highgrade motor gasoline manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), maintained its standard of quality in the face of every difficulty. I Impartial tests made on authority of the Government proved Red Crown surpassed the specificatipns set by the Government for its requirements of motor gasoline. These facts indicate the ideals of service which animate the activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in every department of its business. To maintain the quality of a product when the demand is normal is a general practice. It is when demand is pressing and the supply is low that insistence upon maintained quality is a true measure of a manufacturer’s integrity. To maintain the quality of each product at the point set by the technical staff is an outstanding characteristic of the Standard OS Company (Indiana). Red Crown is a good example. Another is Fortnite long-time burner oil. This product is used in railway signal lamps. These signals are often located at points remote from human habitation. For public safety their uninterrupted service is of the utmost importance. It is essential that the oil shall bum with a clear, bright flame for days at a time without attention. During the blizzard of January, 1918, lamps filled with Fortnite, located high up in the Rocky Mountains, burned night and day during the ten days that traffic was tied up, and at the end of that period they were giving perfect service. It is only by multiplying such records of quality and integrity of manufacture over a long period of years that the reader can grasp the degree of public confidence enjoyed by Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

RADIO BETRAYS GERMANY’S LIES ABOUT AMERICA (Continued From Page One.) were building many more submarines, and he declared that “final success Is guaranteed.” BERLIN KEEPS UP BLUFF. The Germans never did admit their failure, and even after submarine crews had mutinied and U-boat warfare had ended with the recall of their submarines in October, they were still bluffing their own people. As late as Nov. 5 less than a week before the armistice, we caught this bulletin from Berlin: “English wireless service reported, and this report was circulated also in neutral newspapers, that German submarines had passed Norwegian coast on their way home with a white flag at the masthead. This is a pure invention. English wireless has thus again circulated a lie.” This in spite of the fact that they were all hurrying home, some of them passing so close to the Norwegian coast to avoid mines and destroyers that they could be plainly seen from shore. When the allies were smashing the German lines and driving back their armies all along tha front Berlin was flashing out reports of successfully repulsing and" taking up “more favorable positions.” When the French B-nd Americans by terrific attacks drove them across the Marne Berlin announced: “MASTERLY MOVE” ON MARNE. “The excellent execution of the movement for changing to the opposite bank of the wide River Marne, which took place unnoticed by the enemy, demonstrates today the splendid ability of the

German comand and troops.” When the Americans won their notabla victory at St. Mihiel we heard from Berlin that the Germans had only “evacuated” the “bend” at St. Mihiel to improve their lines, and that on the whole, the French and American attacks had failed. And General Wrisberg assured the trusting Teutons back In the fatherland : “The American army also can not terrify us, as we shall settle accounts with them.” Even In November, when total collapse was only a few days away, they were still talking of the failure of the Americans and the “victorious repulse” of the French. After the mutiny at Kiel and other ports, where sailors took possession of the ships and started the revolution, they sent out thig bulletin, on Nov. 17: “Concerning situation in Kiel and uprisings in other harbor towns; military protection of Baltic has been carried out without a break by navy. All warships leaving harbor fly war flags. Movements among sailors and workmen have been brought back to peaceful ways.” GLOSS OVER FLEET SURRENDER. The surrender of the German high seas fleet was gently termed the “carrying out of armistice conditions at sea!” But through the marvelously efficient secret service of the allies, particularly the British, we were kept well informed of all that was going on In the German navy. Sttch close track was kept of the U-boat.B that we knew when every one sailed or returned, and generally were informed as to its destination and plans. All the denials of mutinies and revolts were merely amusing to us. We knew the facts. We knew their morale was shattered, that the allies had “got their

nerve.” I do not know any dispatch that amused me more than the one we picked up from Berlin, Nov. 16. This showed that the U-boat crews had to be reassured that their lives were safe, even after the armistice; that they had to be coaxed and bribed before they would venture out to take the submarines to England for surrender. Here it Is: Pr. 143 Ws22—Transocean Press—Berlin, Nov. 16. “German armistice commission has directed to Chancellor Ebert for immediate communication to all submarine crews letter In which It states that English Admiral Sir Rosyln Wemyss has given unreserved and absolute assurance that all crews of submarines to be handed over will be sent back to Germany as soon as possible after their arrival in the harbor appointed by England. Commission therefore requests crews to hand over in good time the submarines. “In connection with this, workmen and soldiers’ council of Wilhelmshaveu states that all men of ships which are brought into an enemy port are insured for 10,000 marks In case of death. A corresponding special pension has been provided for accidents. Besides, the married men who are concerned in bringing the submarines receive a.premium of 500 marks, and finally are to be immediately discharged after their return home.” Copyright, 1921, by John F.
