PRESIDENT HAS POWER TO SAVE FiOOSIER STATE Letter to Harding Reveals Republican Situation in Indiana.' PREDICTS RITTER FIGHT The suggestion that the Republican party in Indiana be saved from disastrous defeat next fall by the elimination of United States Senator Harry S. Ts'ew from the Senatorship race is made Id a letter which A. A. Kist. manager ot the Portland Republican, has written to President Warren G. Harding. A copy of the letter has found its way into the hands of a prominent Indian apolis politician, who permitted its publication. The copy of the letter contains passages to the effect that President Harding is the “only person in the country ■who can save the party.” in Indiana, and that the thing the President can do as such saviour is to give Senator New the job of Postmaster General Will jl Hays in case rumors that Mr. Hays intends to resign prove true. Here is a copy of the letter as ghen by the local politician: “December 19, *-921. “President Harding, “Washington. U. C. “Dear Mr. Harding: “I am appealing to you ns the only person in the country who can save the Republican party in Indiana from defeat next year. “You, of course, are not responsible tor the political situation as it exists in the State today: neither will you be blamed for the results in the election next vember, even if you do adopt a policy of ‘hands off’ in the spring primary. Rut the fact remains, just the same, you can save the day with a single act and give us victorv in the State from United fctates Senator down to township trustee. And In my opinion all Is dependent upon khe part you take in the senatorial congest. That is the real problem and key to the whole situation. “As I told you when in Washington, Mr. Beveridge is growing more popular every day and his friends are insistent. “Talk to the effect that he will not he a candidate should carry no weight whatever, for I can assure you his name will he placed on the primary ballot. While he has not announced himself as a candidate, he says he will leave it to the people and be governed wholly by public sentiment. “Now, here is the whole situation. Beveridge is very popular. The old progressives are for him as a matter of course. The old guard and that part of the organization dominated by them are for Senator New. Most of them, however, through fear of defeat next year, realize j that Beveridge should head the ticket; that he is by far the stronger man of the two. “As campaigners there is no comparison and it will take a man like Beveridge to Instill enthusiasm in both the leaders and rank and file of the party In the next campaign. The women are for him as against New. The Democrats admire and say nice things about him. Many of them claim they will vote for him if he is a candidate. Four out of live aspirants for county offices, as well as candidates for the State Legislature, desire Beveridge to lead them as a political expediency. “State Senator Miles Furnas, one of your election managers, told me last week that he had made a canvass of the Senate and that more than two-thirds kef the Republican members say that i fßeverldge will easily beat New in their districts. He will tell you or Senator New the same thing if asked. “You advised me to wait until after tne Indianapolis election before taking a stand, as that would have a great bearing on the matter. Well, you know how the election went there. Beveridge has Indianapolis and Marion County in hl6 vest pocket. "The leading papers in the State are for him. That is, the big ones that are not controlled by the organization and New machine. But the discouraging thing for New in connection with tho newspaper situation, as well as the organization, both are lukewarm advocates and followers of him. Practically all could and would unite back or Beveridge, and a.united front is the only thing that can win the next election. “If both Beveridge and New are candidates, the fight will be bitter and tne animosity resulting will mean sure defeat for the Republican party In Indiana. This Is why you are the only person : in the country who can save the party. “Rumor has It that Will Hays Is to soon resign from the cabinet, and you might appoint New to succeed him as postmaster general. That would piease ; all of New’s friends and bring about a state of harmony within the party such as Indiana Republicans have never seen A move of this kind would Insure the election of our county ticket, our Congressman and United States Senator, and : the same thing can be said as coming from every county In the State. “I know you will act wisely, and, be- j ■ lievu me, I have confidence In your ’ wisdom and will acquiesce In whatever action you decide to take In the j premises.” NEGRESS CUT IN THROAT. Dewey Hopson, 22. negro, <315 Charlotte street, was arrested today on the charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill. Mrs. Hopson is In the city hospital with her throat cut, but physicians say her condition is not serious.

‘SUB’ INCIDENT BRINGS FRANK EXPRESSIONS Open Diplomacy Triumphs in Disentangling French Issue. WRONG VIEW OBTAINED Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. UV PIERRE MARSAC. (Special Correspondent in Washington to The Conference for Petit Parislen.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—At last the delegates have thrown caution to the wind and clearly and unmistakably expressed the fears and apprehension lurking In their minds. Some of the English delegates and evidently a large part of the American press had been working under the delusion that the French were advocating the unrestricted use of submarines against merchant vessels and it has appeared the foundation for such a belief rested largely on an article written sometime ago by a French naval expert not a member of the conference not commissioned to express the views of the French government or the French navy department, but pub fishing on his own responsibility the conclusions which he thought he could draw from the use of submarines during the last war. Thus, while the French were talking about tonnage some of their listeners at least were thinking only about the Lusitania and from the articles published during the last few days, In the American press, is is quite evident that their fears found an echo in the American press. After the speeches of Admiral De Bon and M. Sarraut, no such apprehension should remain in the mind of anybody It Is the most unfortunate misunderstanding which has taken place yet during tho conference. It would have been avoided if from the very first the British spokesmen bad expressed his doubts ns frankly and we can say as friendly as he has done later. Any one who knows France could not entertain the idea that she would for a single minute condone or accept the unrestricted use of submarines. In spite of tho constant accusation of cynicism heard so often during these days, France still knows the meaning of International morality and her sailors are not ready to step In the boots of a German submarine commander. The crisis Is now over, and the mis- j understanding has been cleared up, we hope, to the satisfaction of everybody; j but its bad effect cannot, unfortunately, ; disappear in a day. France has suffered and has been bitterly attacked during tho lust few days, but on the whole at that unfortunate Incident may have good results if It only serves to demonstrate that the most complete and even brutal frankness ought to prevail during tho meetings of tho conference. In that light the meeting of today can be considered as a triumph of open diplomacy and the mere fact that the proceedings wera given out to the public In full proves at least that there Is no bad blood, no remaining suspicion between the members of the delegations and the nations they represent. The conference on naval disarmament may not succeed entirely In all Its aims, but It nevertheless has created a precedent in discarding tho obsolete weapons of old fashioned diplomacy and, were It only for that point, It should not and will not be considered as a failure, but as a great diplomatic achievement. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

MEN AND BUSINESS By RICHARD SPILLAMJ Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. TANARUS) HILADELPHIA, Jan. 3. —Justice John 11. Clarke of the Supreme Court of the United States, advocates “as a matter of cold business policy" the cancellation of the $11,000,000,000 war debt due to this country. Justice Clarke may find opposition to his view from a quarter little expected. The present writer has before him a letter written ;ie of the leading industrialists of Great Britain. “When John Bull enters into a bond,” the industrialist writes, “he keeps it even if it costs him a lot to do so. The last thing we are likely to do is to go on our knees and ask Uncle Sam to wipe off the debt. We are taxed to death, but we don't blume Uncle Sam for this at all. Our debt to the States is but a very small proportion of our total war debt and as you folks have been good enough to postpone payment of most of the interest and all of the repayments, it has not materially added to our burdens. We shall keep our obligations.

"But it would be good for the peace of nations as for the good relations between the two great branches of the An-glo-Saxon race If some of the mischievous pressmen were muzzled. “We all rejoiced at the success of the Washington conference. “I sometimes wonder if many Americans realize what it means for the Old Country to tie itself down to an agreement which limits our navy to the same strength as that of the United States. “America is economically free. We are not. We produce only one quarter of the grain we consume. Had the German submarine warfare been as effective as the Germans expected, Great Britain would have been starved into submission. We require an adequate defense. No nation cun hold out lndet’nitely against starvation. There is no doubt the blockade of German ports was a potent force in crippling Germany. sT ET US have an end to this talk of E Great Britain’s alleged desire to back out of paying her debt to the United States. We are sick of reading such stuff. Although much of what we borrowed was for others John Bull has no desire to back out or appear as a suppliant” NO reasonable person expects the weaker European nations to pay in full to the United States. Modifications of the obligations and postponement of payments 'until such time as the debtors are much stronger financially is to be expected but to cancel the debts would he of doubtful worth to the debtor nations. Cancellation of a national debt is not conducive to improving the credit of the debtor. It Is not of record that v-ben Mr. Clarke was general counsel of one of the

large railroads he advocated cancellation of debts due to that corporation as “a matter of cold business policy.” THE prominent British Industrialist quoted in the foregoing s vs business conditions in England today arc depressing. Exports have declined of late and this bus flung back on ti.e home market a great amount of stuff. The high price of coal has aggravated the situation, costs of manufacture being out of proportion with continental competitors. '"I ’HE gentlman also expresses his Ideas regarding Ireland. "Do Valera," he says, “is a combination of obstinacy and conceit. He hankers far more for a theoretical Independence and his own dignity as president of an unrecognized'lrish republic than for the realities of life. “If they think they'll g.-t complete independence they are mistaken. W an* not going to consent to the creation of a ‘foreign’ nation on our doorsteps right athwart our egress to the Atlantic.

DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME MAKES REPORT 410 Persons Arrested in November for Violation of Game Laws. “With the advent of the year 1922 the fish and game division of the State conservation department, is directing its activities toward increasing its usefulness.” said George N. Mannfeld, division chief, In a letter sent today to 12S organized fish and game protective clubs of the State. Rapid strides have been made in the warden service in the past year, Mr. Mannfeld said, and he predicts that this branch of division work will equal If not excel the game warden service of any other State. State wardens arrested 410 persona in November, 1921, of which 354 were convicted of various offenses against the State's fish and game laws. This is an Increase of forty-one arrests and thirtyseven convictions over what was formerly a year’s record, and it was accomplished with less men than was employed before the division was coordinated in the department of conservation, Mr. Mauufeld points out. The letter in part says: “The prorogation of fish and the stocking of public waters has become the subject of widespread interest. During the past fiscal year 399 applications were supplied with stock fish, an increase of 79 over the previous year. We already have a far greater number of applications on file than at this time last year, te idling to Indicate that the demand in 1922 will be unprecedented. Our efforts will ; be directed toward augmented production | and, unless unforeseen obstacles again I prevent, at the four State hatcheries, we ! hope to propagate sufficient fish to fill nil applications and make allotment# I liberal.” Mr. Mannfeld says the delivery of fish to waters in southern Indiana has been attended with many difficulties. The ! absence of a hatchery in that part of the Xtnte necessitates : - g hauls consuming much time and causing considerable expense. Because of lls the conservation commission ami Dir.- - r Lieber have approved his re.'omiueuiiat:- us for estate ; fishing a hatchery in >. tit hern Indiana "Ideal sites for fish hatcheries," says the letter, "are few and far between. At present we know of none suitable for tills purpose. The following describes a favorable site: i’leuty of water furnished by springs; volume not less than enough to fill a six-inch pipe, preferably more; - flow must Le continuous and so located that it can he led by gravity into ten or more ponds; each, having an area of one | half to three-fourths of an acre; land adjacent to water supply level, free from overflow and provided with proper drainage, The nature of the underlying soil i must he such that it will hold water. | Total area of land to bo fifteen to j twenty acres, situated near a good road. If you know of such a site do not fall to communicate it to tho department." | Mr. Mannfeld appeals to persons to feed tlie* birds during periods of severe cold, and especially when the ground is encased in snow and ice, making it Impossible for them to find food. lie says: "Winter is here and our feathered friends J are liabls to suffer from want of food and shelter Now is the time to do I something to help them Birds are real friends of mankind. Without them we would become subject to ravages of insects and other pests. Men who hunt quail now have a chance to do something In return for the sport they enjoyed last fall. Their willingness to nsslHt the farmer In feeding the birds left over on hi* land cannot help but bring about fl better feeling. This State had more qnnll in 1921 than for many years We believe this was due to the open winters of the last few years, and to the greater Interest shown in their protection by ; farmer and city man alike. If this Interest continues and the birds are prop- ! erly fed and protected this winter the State will have even more quail in 1922 than last year. There are only thirtyfour days tn tho rear when quail ran ! lawfully be killed. It Is unlawful to sell them. Under such restrictions the birds have excellent protection, but they will not Increase under any kind of protective laws If allowed to starve r-r freeze when snow and ire cover the ground. The sportsmen and farmers who look after tho quail and other birds this winter are tho men who havo a right to pro-| claim themselves real conservators of birds.”
