WHO said high hats were out of date? YESTERDAY was a relief from city campaign worries, anyway. THE BOARD of public safety should employ those four boys who captured the seven negroes. JUDGING from the appearance of the new State guard hi the parade, it ■would not be exactly safe to start something in Indiana, AMBASSADOR HARVEY says the United States will not enter into any international alliance. With disarmament no such alliance should be necessary. - - . r DANCE music Is to be speeded up in order to make dancing less immoral, according to a Chicago dispatch. Hereafter dance halls probably will be required to make a dally report of the tempo of their music. The Municipal Election With the time for election of a mayor of Indianapolis only a few hours away and the last bits of argument and information in which credence can be placed before the public, Indianapolis again finds herself In the midst ot a very unnecessary turmoil. Never, in this or any other campaign, has capital had any real reason for being fearful of the election of a municipal ticket. Ne'-er in the history of Indianapolis has the laboring man had any reason to fear the ejection of any candidate. Our form of government Is such that no incumbent of the mayor’s office could, in the face of public sentiment, attempt that which would be inimlcable to either of these so-called classes of citizens. No citizen of Indianapolis need fear for a minute that any mayor could permit a "wide-open town” In the face of public sentiment. There are too many good Influences in this community to tolerate control of the city by any law-breaking element. And there are too many agencies for the enforcement of law over which the mayor can have no control to make It possible for any mayor, regardless of his inclinations, to prevent law enforcement. Yet, in the face of the fact that these questions are really of no Importance in the selection of a mayor, they have formed practically the whole basis of the campaign. . Under the guise of ‘‘saving Indianapolis’* men with violent prejudices or selfish motives have sought to delude voters Into thinking that the election of one candidate means an “open house” for criminals and a saturnalia of debauchery in the community. Under the guise of accomplishing that which is for "their best Interests” politicians have sought to inflame the working men of Indianapolis against a candidate who is unquestionably the choice of most of the employers. These effort?, one no less reprehensible than the other, have resulted in intense feeling that finds ltirexplanation in foolish talk about the ‘‘common people and their candidateji. an/t; in equally foolish talk about the “good people” and the “hosts of darkness." Candidly speaking, there are no “hosts of darkness" in Indianapolis, any more than there Is a class of “.good people.” No community is more tortunaWln being without slums, without gun men and without gangs. ~ For the most of the year we dwell together in peace and with respect each for his neighbor. It is only when some selfish influence intent on the accomplishment of a political intrigue endeavors to mask its operations with a hypocritical cloud of righteousness that there is talk of the “decent element’ and of the "sinister Influences.” We have, perhaps, reached the peak of thl3 movement in which so little regard for the welfare of the community as a whole has been shown. Next week we will elect anew mayor. The choice Is between Samuel Lewis Shank and Boyd M. Ralston. Indianapolis will not he hampered, nor harmed nor very much helped by the election of either man. The successful candidate will not take office until January 2, 19.12, and by that time the political workers who are now calling each other crooks and liars and declaring that this and that “menaces” the city will be hobnobbing with each other and trying to frame things for the spring primary. As we have said before, there is no grave issue at stake in this election. Those citizens who are of the belief that Mr. Shank is qualified by experience and personality to give them the kind of an administration they desire will cast their votes for him in great numbers. Those citizens who believe Mr. Ralston’s business experience and business-like personality will insure a belter administration of Indianapolis will vote for him. The choice is between two entirely different types of citizens and no one has the right to decree that either type is unworthy of support. The Democrats of Indianapolis who have not been -welded into as good an organization as has heretofore existed, ought to take heart from the fact that there has been a decided split in the Republican ranks and remain loyal to their party. Mr. Ralston deserves the vote of every member of the Democratic party. But, regardless of what It should be, there Is no use denying the fact that in this campaign, the greatest effort has been made to array voters against a candidate, rather than for a candidate and the effort ha3 not been wholly a success. , Among those who will vote for Mr. Ralston are the citizens who have been poisoned by propaganda that many believe has hurt Indianapolis more than it has helped Mr. Ralston. Tuesday will tell whether it is possible for any one to win an election ir. the face of the tremendous disgust that is always created by a campaign of lies and vinification and abuse such as has been conducted by an unsolicited supporter of Mr. Ralston. .. But no one should overlook the redeeming fact that Mr. Ralston himself has not been a party to this mudslinging. Fair play should forbid that he be punished for those things which he could not stop, even though it be pretended that they were done in his interests. A Day Worth While General Foeh has come and gone, and out of the amazing reception that he received in Indianapolis it was easy to gather that there exists in this communit/ a great spirit of comradeship and pride in the greatest soldier of the age. . “Take it from me, folks,” says one little girl lover of the General, “the greatest day of my life has come and passed, and believe me, you don’t know what a day It was unless you are one complete wreck. “After getting my little self parked on the curbing, munchii g chocolates and peanuts, T waited patiently for the parade to start. After hours of twisting and shoving and jam slamming and everything the mob finally decided to settle down. “The great Black Horse Troop started the thing off with a bang. "Next came the General, our general, the distinguished old man with the iron gray hair, fully bedecked in his gray unifo m, looking very pleased and giving a smile here and a nod thors. • Believe me, boy, it surely was worth all the suffering I went through just to see him. "And there were our boys, regular fellows, marching just like they used to march when they had to do it. I guess it was pretty nice for them to tl ink that after it was ail over they could go home and not have to do any more maiohing until the next parade. “There were little bits of sadness scattered here and there, sorrow for the boys who could march no more, but there was a whole lot nore of happiness—joy because the war was done. "I think every one and his grandmother was present, but if anybody lost out he will hear about it from the lips of someone who was trampled and maul 'd in that crowd. All and all, it was urea great day’ and outside of being much damaged and bedraggled and very tired, I think it was onderful. * . "Come back again, General. You won the war and don’t you ever think Indianapolis isn’t proud of you!”

That poster, a j reproduction of a painting by Haskell ! Koffin, will also appear on a smaller scale when the stores send out their monthly bills.

"Immediately thereafter I shall accept the resignation of every one of his millionaire special j deputy commissioners.” At the Identical Mr. Enright was j being orntorlcally decapitated, a whitehaired middle-aged man was host at a dinner party at the hotel Waldorf-As-toria. There were four men aud flTe women at the tablo besides the donor of the feast. Tho man giving the dinner was Enright himself, and the occasion was 1 a celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his first day as a New York policeman.

Only a few hours ago Louis H. Goidsoll went Into the dainty writing room of a fashionable hotel off Fifth avenue and mussed it all up by shooting himself while sitting at a do*V “Whv don’t suicides use some consideration?” complained tho pretty maul in charge of the writing room today. “What is your idea of a fitting place?” we asked. “Oh.

Last night Major General O’Ryan, who commanded the Twenty seventh Division, was walking along Madison avenue when a thick-set, poorly dressed, youngish man came out of a building recess and shouted: “Hey, I want some help from you!” General O’Kyan saw the man was desperate, and had a revolver in his outside coat pocket. “Were you In the war?” he asked in a kindly robe. “Sure, With the Twenty-aeventh.” “What Twenty-seventh?” said the offli cer sharply. “Why, the Twenty-seventh artillery,” | nervously answered the beggar, and as i they were walking along side by side he took hie bunds from his pockets. ,/•J‘Npw l you'd better come clean.” said the Gou'-rel. “There was no Twenty, .aevehth artillery with the Twenty-seventh ■division and I ought to know. Were you ■ la France?” Whoreupon the man broke down and confessed that ha had not been la the army at all. He told such a story of continued misfortune that the general gave him a hill and told him to call around at his office. —Copyright, lba, by Pubiie Ledger Company.

Indianapolis Proclaims Foch a Regular Fellow Citizens Impressed With Democratic Bearing of Great Military Leader .

BY FELIX T. BRUNER. Indianapolis Is impressed by the Marshal of France. It Is impressed by the fact that the greatest military man of the age is a regular human being and that he acts the part. During his entire visit yesterday he proved himself to be a true representative of a democratic country. Dignified, yet not austere, Ferdinand Foch impressed one as being the kind of person one would like to know. He gives this impression despite the fact that he does not speak a word of English. Perhaps Is was partly due to the fact that he seemed somewhat embarassed because he could not express himself in English. The good-natured manner in which the Marshal permitted motion picture and camera men to order him around was an index to his character. There appeared from him no evidence of any feeling or superiority but more that of a man who feels that Jhs is something of a curiosity and is striving to please the multitude accepted as friends. The man who commanded all the allied armies in the World War and who is responsible, possibly more than any other individual, for the success of the allies, greeted officer and private and civilian, whether humble or of high estate, alike. At the reception at the Claypool Hotel, though he showed every evidence of being tired from his travels and visits to other cities, he had a word for every man who shook his hand and seamed particularly to catch tho name of each, although there was not a possibility of his remembering them. At the speedway he relaxed and became Just a regular fellow. He didn’t like the wind in the Judges stand where he was taken and so he walked down the steps and watched the race through the wire fence, Just like a kid on Speedway day. Much to the amusement of tho crowd which continually followed him. ho handed his stick to the man nearest him, *pulled from his pocket a decrepit pipe and crammed it full of tobacco. Then someone shouted that the cars were on the last lap aud he ran like a boy to ths fence, which he had left when he filled his pipe, and watched Eddie Ilcarn get the checkered flag. Then he waited for Hearn to get around the extra lap and grasped his greasy hand, congratulating him. He

smiled broadly when Bearn pointed ont to him the Grand Prlx number which had not yst been painted from the ctr. At ths Country Club the Marshal rested for a time and then came downstairs to the room in which the reception committee was waiting. He walked over to the open fireplace gnd warmed his hands. Then he caught sight of the trio of women musicians who were supplying the music and walked over to them, chatting for several minutes through an interpreter. * Marshal Foch seemed to get a great deal of fun ont of planting the tree at the club and when the camera men ordered him to hold up his head—ordered him, not asked him—he obeyed promptly and laughingly. The men who have been traveling with the great commander all agree that he is a regular fellow, but that the one thing he hates to do is to make a speech. That accounts, they say, for the brevity of ills remarks. ‘PARTY’ PROVES NO PINK TEA Badly Battered Man Picked Up by Police. With his face covered with blood a man who refused to give his name was founa at Pennsylvania and Ohio streets, at * o'clock this morning by motor police officers who were sent to Investigate when someone called for a city ambulance. The man was arrested on the charge of drunkenness and was slated under tne name of John Doe, 23, “City.” He said he had been in an automobile wreck at Northwestern avenue and Fall Greek boulevard. The man had suffered a broken nose. Later he gave his name as Herb Diawny, 673 East Twenty-First street. He changed his story to the effect that he had attended a party at a house on Holmes avenue near Michigan street; that he was in an automobile en route from that place to the Dennison Hotel when someone slugged him. Didway said he was unable t* remember who was with him as there were “so many at the party.”

GERMANS BALK AT BANK PLAN f Financiers Take Little Stock in Yanderlip Gold Reserve Rehabilitation Scheme. BERLIN, Nov. B.—German financiers and industrialists are skepti of the resalts of the proposed gold reserve bank for the economic rehabilitation of central Europe. The scheme for the creation of the bank, which was to be modelled after tho Federal Reserve bank system In the United States, came from Frank A. Vanderllp, New York financier. It was learned today that practically all of the German bankers and business men with whom Mr. Vanderllp talked told him that they did not believe that Gertnany could be relieved by any other means than revision of the Versailles treaty. Among the financiers with whom Mr. Vanderlip conferred was Arthur Von Gwinner, head of the Deutsche bank. One German banker told Mr. Vanderlip: “Germany is like a man who has just been struck by a terrific volley of machine gunfire and Is momentarily expecting another. The offer of a gold reserve bank is like offering the wounded man a piece of court plaster. The attitude of German financiers and Industrialists might be summed up in the fatalistic phrase “What's the use?” American Rosary for Marshal Foch CHICAGO, Nov. 4.—Marshal Foch will receive an American rosary from children of the Knights of Columbus of Chicago when he visits Chicago on Sunday as the guest of the national board of directors of the K. of C. More than 100,000 knights from eight States—Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas and Illinois, as well as the Governors of these States will participate In the mammoth parade, the largest ever seen In the history of Chicago, with which the K. of C. will honor Foch. John McCormack will make a special trip to Chicago, cancelling a $12,000 engagement In Boston, to sing for the Marshal, who will be formally made an honorary member of the K. of C. at a banquet to be held at the Congress Hotel Sunday evening. Other guests to the banquet are Judge K. M. Landis, baseball supreme arbiter, and “Babe” Ruth, most renowned K. of C. In athletics. The rosary will be presented to Marshal Foch before the special mass to be celebrated by Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago on Sunday morning.
