STATES REASON FOR SILENCE IN * CITY CAMPAIGN S. M. Ralston Tells Why He Has Not Aided Brother in Race for Mayor. Bam nel M. Ralston, 'oncer GoTsrnor of Indiana, and brother of Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, today Issued a statement in which he explained that he has not taken the stamp for his relative because he (the former Governor) is not a voting resident of Indianapolis and doubted the propriety of actively entering the campaign. He is, neveitheless, heartily in favor of his brother for mayor, he said. The statement is as follows! “I have been asked several times why I was not making speeches in this campaign. The answer is otvions, on a moment's reflection. The Democratic candidate for mayor Is my brother and it has seemed to me that it was at least in good taste for me to refrain from taking the stump for him. Besides, I do not vote in Indianapolis. "I have felt, therefore, that silence on my part, was the part of prudence. And yet, since there are those who are wondering why Ia mnot publicly advocating blB election, I hope I shall be pardoned for frankly admitting that I am anxious for his success. I want him to be successful for two very good reasons: “1. I know he has the qualification to tnake Indianapolis a most satisfactory chief executive. “2. This country Is In need of better government in cities. Indeed, one of the gravest problems which the people have bio consider in our national life is found Tn the management of our large municipalities; and I know him welPenough to lay he would zealously and effectively labor rightfully to solve this problem as It relates to and to give our city an honest and constructive •* minustration. "I have no desire to eulogize him. He Is but a plain, unassuming man, laying no claim to greatness, but this makes pim nono the less a man of conscience Cnd moral courage. The blood of honest Md Christian parents courses his veins bud nourishes in the web and woof of bis character an inflexible integrity. M I do not hesitate to assure the good people of Indianapolis that, if he is elected mayor, it will be his ambition to put at the head of the different departments of the city government and on the different boards the very best men •nd women in point of fitness. If he fails in this. It will be because such men |nd women will not accept these positions. And, regrettable as it Is, it must me admitted that it too often happens Chat the best people refuse to discharge their obligation to the public by rendertug official service. “Whether my brother or his opponent be elected mayor, I hope the successful re will have the hearty cooperation of the people to the end that our Capital City may take on new life under the pew administration and become indeed I city set upon a hill. “These words are not spoken in malice toward other*, but in commendation of Due in whom I have faith and in whose future I feel a brother’s interest-’’

FOCH PRAISES LEGION MEN FOR SERVICE (Continued From Pago One.) self amongst you, valiant soldiers of 1918, to live again our glorious memories. Three years ago on the first of November, 1918, the entire American Army in France took up vigorously the pursuit of the defeated enemy and did not halt until the German surrendered. “Hour of glory for the American Army, a proper culmination for a military movement, prodigious alike In its intensity and its rapidity. “One and all you have had yonr share in all. You atny well be proud.” Marshal Foch then told of the splendid organization of the American forces, the treat system of transportation and th* constant stream of materials and supplies. TBIBCTE TO INTELLIGENCE. “A prodigious effort on the part of your entire Nation's intelligence, will power and energy,” he said. “A prodigious effort which has filled your associates with admiration and gratitude and confounded your enemy.” With earnest words, Marshal Foch then spoke of the spirit of the seoeod and third Army divisions at Chateau Thlery and in Belleau Woods, and later their victorious push with the French armies between th j Aisne and the Marne. “Finally,” he aaid, "it was that spirit which animated "all the American Army when, on the 24th of July, General Pershing formed your splendid units under his own command.” Marshal Foch then traced the operations of the Army at St. Mihiel, the Meuse and through the Argonne. HUGE TASK CARRIED THROUGH TO A FINISH. "Nothing could discourage or check your army,” he said. “It threw itself with generous ardor into the Immense melee. The task was a huge one, but it was carried through to a thorough finish. “In a few months you had taken 45,000 prisoners and 1,400 cannon from the enemy. "During this time your second army impatiently waited to attack In its turn in the direction of Metz, but, harassed and defeated, the enemy laid down iti arms.

“A solemn hour, which compensated all the sacrifices freely given for the cause of right. "It is you who have made these sacrifices. More than 75,000 of your countrymen were buried In the soil of France. May they rest in peace. Your French brothers in arms watch over them. “Glory to you who survive them and who enjoy victorious peace. You may well be proud ow your past exploits. “Your country had asked you to lay low a redoubtable enemy. You have pdaeed him at your mercy, and after having assured every guarnu'ee for the liberty of our peoples, you have Imposed upon him the peace which your Government has dictated. Has not your task been completely fulfilled?” “As for me, the great honor of my life will be to have guided along the road to victory the American Army of 1918, which was a real grand Army, beginning with its commander." FEKSHIN'6 REVIEWS LEGION’S SERVICE. General Pershing was presented after the ovation accorded Marshal Foch had at last subsided. His speech struck true to the hearts of the legionnaires, as he spoke upon the accomplishments of the Legion and of the problems with which they are now concerned. After extending cordial greetings to the legion. General Pershing turned to Marshal Foch and said that the legion was peculiarly honored by his presence. He also extended a welcome to General Diaz, General Jacques and to Admiral Lord Beatty, “to this grand old State where I was born and where I lived In boyhood.” "I am greatl7 impressed with' the service the legion has rendered. You have always stood for law and order. Your patriotism has withstood the intrigue of those who would openly or secretly plot against our institutions. “You have proclaimed opposition to the spread of dangerous propaganda in America against a friendly people, by any faction whatsoever.” Speaking on the coming disarmament conference at Washington, General Pershing declared that the time is ripe for the nations to meet and frankly discuss world problems. DISCUSSES ARMS riRLET. "The coining conference In Washington,” he said, “should be as important as any ever held and In it lies much hope for the future. "Thinking people everywhere. I believe, are confident that an understanding can be reached that will lessen the chances of war In the future end strongest In their wish for such a happy culmination are those which it fought and those who have suffered ” “As for the unemployment situation,” he said, “it is one that vitally and in mediately interests this organisation. “Government remedies may be proposed and adopted, but every legion post may be and should be an agency through which ex-service men of employment can be placed, either permanently or temporarily; a plan already vigorously undertaken In many legion centers.” “But the men who should receive our
