To the Employes of The Daily Times and the Public: Eight years ago this month I came Into control of the Indiana Daily Times, then know .is the Indianapolis Sun, through having loaned some money on me stock and having taken the bonds of the old Sun. I didn’t want the paper and I didn’t know what to do with it, but 134 of the 135 employes of the Sun asked me to keep the property and told me they would put it over. I did and the> did. No publication or business in this or any other country ever had an organization more loyal to their employer and to the public than the men and women who made the Daily Times what It is today. It has often seemed to me that tlielr loyalty to their institution was akin to their loyalty to their country. My chief regret in selling the paper is the separation from the employes of the Times, who not only kept their word to me, but saved me money and made me money. Having stuck on the job because they wished me to, I held on long enough to demonstrate that there was plenty of room for another paper in Indianapolis, if conducted along correct lines. To the public, I would like to state that we did not misjudge the people of Indianapolis and Indiana when we made a paper that stood for the good in everything and that was not afraid to print the truth, which they have appreciated to the extent of giving us a circulation in the city of Indianapolis alone of over 39,000 a day. In selling the stock of the Daily Times to Roy W. Howard, there is little I could say that would add to his good reputation and standing in this city and State, as he was born and reared In Indianapolis and started his career on local papers, and during the time he has been away his fame has so grown that it reaches around the world. No other newspaper man or publisher in the United States is better known to the public. For years ho was president of the United Press Associations and ever since he left Indianapolis he has been more or less Identified with the Scripps newspapers, of which there are twenty-nine. I have a great affection for Indianapolis. The people and business interests of the city have treated me handsomely. I consider Indiana the greatest State of the Union in many respects, and I shall always favor this city and State in my other publications in every way I can. I feel that the best thing I can do to prove all this is to bring Mr. Howard back into the daily newspaper field of Indianapolis and Indiana, in preference to selling to a number of other publishers who were not so well fitted to serve the public of this community, and by whom I have been importuned many times to selL W. D. BO\CE.

A Federal ‘White Elephant 9 The efficiency of the Federal Government, made up of “best minds,' has been demonstrated In a truly remarkable way to the people of Indiana. Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of surplus war material has been dumped on the State highway commission by the United States Department of Agriculture, the greater part of which is absolutely useless for road building purposes. In one month the freight bill alone on this material totalled $20,000 — money taken from the pockets of the taxpayers. Among the items included in the shipments was an enormous crane for hauling down observation balloons. A ve~y useful instrument on the battle front, but, inasmuch as the State highway department does not possess a balloon. Badly out of place in Indiana. It might be used, as one facetious person observed, in hauling down politicians when they go up in the air, but that Is about the only earthly use it can be put to by ♦ e highway commission, which paid a heavy freight bill for this unsolicited instrument. Then, the generous Department' of Agriculture presented the State with 72,000 trench spades. Perhaps the term trench spade does not earn’ an ominous meaning to the average Hoosier, but the former service men who dug their way to seasoned soldiers with one of these Implements can testify that unless the Government sends along extension handles It Is going to be pretty hard to obtain enough midgets to handle them. If the highway commission was in the coal business It might find use for three car loads of coal conveyors, but as it is engaged in road building * it probably will have to find storage space—and pay the freight bill —for these gratuitous gifts. The Government was very generous in shipping large quantities of canvas duck to the highway commission, and as this was easily disposed of, some of it found its way into the hands of private dealers* Probably if there was a ready demand for balloon cranes and trench shovels, the State could find a way out of its difficulty, but as the bottom seems to have dropped out of this market, the State highway commission has on its hands a Federal “white elephant," which'tan claim a close relation to another pachyderm sometimes affectionately referred to as the “G. O. P." Why Not Try It Here? The Pennsylvania State highway department is revoking the licenses of automobilists in cases where the drivers were intoxicated or where they failed to stop following accidents. This caiis to mind the fact that sucu a penalty may be invoked in Indiana in certain cases, although it has been seldom attempted. Licenses may be revoked in this State on the recommendation of judges wherein a person is convicted of having left the scene of an accl-! dent or upon second conviction for driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor. ‘This, is a form of discipline which might be applied far more frequently than it is,” remarks the Philadelphia Public Ledger. "Licenses are issued on the theory that the system insures the competency of the person to whom it is granted and gives the authorities a hold on the licensed individual in the event of misconduct. The power of revocation if wisely used would go a long way toward correcting the abuses of the road and preventing a proportion at least of the casualties which mar the record of every holiday. “If justices of the peace and magistrates possessed the power of suspending the licenses of violators of the traffic laws who may be brought before them, such suspension to remain in force until full reparation of injury done shall have been made, or until a final determination by a competent reviewing authority could be had as to the period of suspension or revocation, as the case might be, it might be that ‘accidents’ would be less frequent and drivers more careful of the rights of others. But the immunity of the average speed fiend and the absence of a sense of personal responsibility in seme minds due to the mere fact of ‘accident, insurance’ operate at present to create conditions on the public highways that are a disgrace to e civilized age. With that immunity abolished by the certainty of a license forfeiture and a stricter personal accountability not to | be evaded by any form of Insurance, those conditions would be improved i materially.” £

Oliver Morosco Obtains the Right to Make a Movie of ‘The Bat’

“The Bat,” the most successful mystery play of years and one of the most sought for screen adaptations, will be plcturized by Oliver Morosco, according to negotiations now practically completed In New York. The active negotiations between Oie owuers of the play, Wagenalls and Kemper, and the Morosco Holding Company have been under way for weeks although nearly two years ago when the play became such an established hit at the Morosco theater In New York, Morosco began overtures. "The Bat," In its dramatic form is the collaboration of Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Ilopwood and is based upon Mrs. Rinehart’s story “The Circular staircase." It was produced at the Morosco -Theater Aug. 23, 1920, and Immediately became such a success that it has prospered and eudured throughout good season and bad. And Is still going its mysterious and popular way. It Is the Morosco plan to make “The Bat” one of the most noteworthy productions of the year. In New York, George R. Bentel, vice president and general manager of the Morosco Holding Company, Is preparing to gather the best working forces obtainable In the Cast to add them to the corps In Los Angeles where the picture Is scheduled to be mau-*. The summer production plans of Morosco also call for the filming of “The Rose oi the Ghetto,’’ the Edward E. Rose play. The 1922 activities of tho Morosco film will be concentrated upon these two pictures. The first two Morosco productions, “The Half Breed” and "Slippy McGee" are nearing the screen. The "Half Breed" is scheduled for release this month and "Slippy McGee" will follow early In September. The stage version of "The Bat” was seen at the Iturat during the past regular season.

Highways and By-Ways of Lil’ Ol’ New York By RAYMOND CARROLL 1 (Copyright, 1923, by Public Ledger Company.) ■ 1

NEW YROK, Juno B.—Gen. Robert Lee Bullard, “hero of Cantigny," sails for I Europe tomorrow on the transport Can-, tigny, his first trip abroad since bis -return home with our victorious Army in May, 1019. His shipping on the nameship of his own victory, when he was commander of the First Division, is one of those remarkable coincidences which makes life worth its salt. Needless to comment upon the delight General Bullard found today In the midst of final preparations on Governor's Island, where, for some time, he has been commanding general of the Second Corps area. The last time General Bullahl dropped down the bay and passed out the Narrows was this month, five years ago, when as colonel commanding the 26th Infantry, he was aboard the transport San Jacinto, in the first American contingent to leave for Franco. Hn route he was made a brigadier general, and soon soon after reaching the, battle area was given I command of the famous First division. Cantigny is the greatest event in the j life of General Bullard and a record page ! In the annals of our fighting In the ; World War. It was a most needed vie- | tory, for it came at a time when the ; Germans were attacking on the West I Front, breaking through at Rheims. It ; j was most heartening to the Allies and I I it stood out for its brilliant conception j | and execution. The sunrise of May 28 1918, with the | Americans on the Montdidier sector will never lie forgotten to those privileged to j have been there; our new line beyond ] tho village of Cantigny withstanding | German counter-attacks, six altogether, | and holding firm, and batches of enemy J prisoners being escorted to the rear' areas. It was In an old chare...., his headquarters, that I heard Geueral Bullard receive the warm congratulations of General Pershing, for the victory flashed electrically along the Allied front ! was the long-hoped-for presage of tho ' Kaiser’s doom. General Bullard's promotion after Can- ! tlgny was rapid. He commanded the j Third Corps In the Meuse -Argonne offen- j ■ sire, and when the armistice came he i was commanding the now Second Army i which General Pershing had massed back j of Tuul for an all-American drive to out- j flank and Isolate tho gro.it fortress of i Metz. Had the end of the war not in- ; tervened Sherman's “March to tho Sea." j I would have found a European replica 1n j i Bullard's "March Across Alsace," for the i long, lean, smiling Alabaman has a reo i ord in tho Army of never having failed ! of accomplishments in a task assigned to him. During the last winter General Bullard suffered a personal bereavement In the death of his wife. Their two children. Rose, IS years old. and Keith, 17, will accompany tho Army officer to Europe; also Cnpt. Walter Yutll, able to the General and who in the Cantigny fight commanded a machine gun battalion of the | 10; h Infantry. 1 asked General Bullard where were : those who were at his side at Cantigny. "Scattered," ho replied. “Campbell King, who acted ns my chief of staff, is now on tho general staff in Washington. George C. Marshall. King's right-hand officer, also Is In Washington, aide to General Pershing. Brigadier General Hanson E. Ely, who conducted the attack, Is a brigadier gonernl somewhere in the United States, and Gen. Charles I’. Sunimerall, who direct! and our artillery at Cantigny, is now in Honolulu.” In turn. Geueral Bullard asked for the present posts of the Cantigny war correspondents. Junius B. Wood Is In India. Wilbur Forrest ami John T. Parwerson are 1n Paris. Joseph Grlgg is in London and Bert Ford in Boston. Fred Ferguson and Jimmy Hooper are here in New York. Many of the accredited war eorres; -ndents of the American expeditionary forces were absent from Cantigny. much to their subsequent chagrin, they having g >ne off to the 42d Division, then in line on the Champagne sector, -nil other points on the front. All of the correspondents who were at Cantigny ; are still active In newspaper and kindred work. An American who did an important job at Cantigny for which lie has rower re reived nor asked recognition, was Hugh K. Prltchitt. an officer of the K<-d Cross, lie foresaw the need of extra blankets and hospital supplies for our wounded, and upon his own initiative got several, motor loads down from Paris to the base j town of Beauvais, from which they were : rushed to the battle line as needed. Frit- j ehitt Is a successful broker In Wall; street. The trouble with reminiscences of the! war is that when one starts to write a l pnragrrph, It spreads Into column pro- j portions. As time Jogs along and Intervenes in j larger gaps between the days of 1917-1.8.; and the current pri-sent, more and more, j those who wore In the great adventure: overseas are observed to concentrate upon j particular events rather than cling to the , assochc'cm of Army units. Tho names of tho units seem to fade out, and the j World War veterans are commencing to , herd together upon some stirring inci- . dents, such as Cantigny. Old soldiers (if I the Civil War corroborate that is the ten- j dency of the after-time of war, and oven express regret that G. A. R. posts were ict some such basis. Three men were all at Gettysburg would get more our of a campfire meeting than thr. ■ who served In different battles. j The Alabama town that gave General ; Bullard to his country boars tho strange name of Opelika. His parents were ambitious for him to become a plantation ■ owner and registered him at the Alabama i Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, a State j college organized In 1572 for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts. He! rode six miles to college each day from ills home upon bis own horse, which he 1 quartered In the stables belonging to the wife of tho surgeon of the college. A few weeks ago General Bullard revisited Lee County, to give his personal zeal to an attempt being made to raise $1,000,000 endowment fund for his old j college at Auburn. One of the ladles of I the college, white-haircil and quite aged, ' came forward with a garment which ! sho was carrying on her arm. “It is j

your linen duster, which you left hang* Ing in my stable forty-two years when you used to ride over from Opas lika,” she said, adding: ”1 have had a washed and iron for you.” There were tears In the General’s eye* as he told of the old linen duster, so symbolical of a peaceful rural existence* Its preservation all these years is typlcal of the sweet sentiment of the old South. "Instead, I chose a uniform,** he said today. “Went to West Point and became a soldier." General Bullard served in Cuba during the Spanlsh-Amerlcan War and In the Philippine Islands during the period of the insurrection. He built the Iligam Lanao military road in the Philippines, and was military govern *r of Mindanao* Later he became specia. able and investigator for the Unitec States provisional government of Cuba, and acted as military secretary of education and fine . arts in Cuba, for he i3 a scholarly sort of u soldier, and author of many articles and pamphlets. j Pressed as to how he would put In his i four months' holiday in Europe, he said in conclusion: | “I shall land at Antwerp and will 1m- ; mediately enter Germany and Austria, foj I am deeply interested in reconstruction, i I shall visit the American Army of OccuI pation. Then I am going into SwitzerI innd and Italy. The battlfleleds of Franca ian A Belgium? Yes, I shall take them in, it also our American cemeteries ovof , there. To a soldier who has seen war, I there is nothing on earth to equal peaca I and good will among nations.”

WASHINGTON, June 8. —Just as Pennsylvania avenue 19 becoming soggy undef foot and greenish perspectlon is dimmim; the vision of the “starry-eyed goddess of liberty” perched on the eapitol dome, ; night sessions are becoming the order in j the always stuffy halls of Congress.

"Because rtf the long hours due to ’ night sessions,” Senator Joseph I. Franca | of Maryland, Is out with a plan to a!4 ! tlie veteran doorkeepers and youthful ! pages in the battle against the sari famed Washington summers. ITs proposed a resolution to authorize the hiring : of additional employes "to relieve tho ! present empioyes from excessive hours.” Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, estimates at the current rate of progrrs-, it will take the Senate about fifty-seven weeks longer to pass the tariff bill. Thus, he a ids, the Sixty-Seventh Congress will ' have expired by constitutional limitation and the Job will have to be done over again. j Mr. Lenroot bases his calculation on : the fact there are 2,087 amendments to ! the House bill proposed by the Senate Finance Committee. Up to the “c!ose : of business" yesterday the Senate had j acted on but 200 of those amendments. Seven weeks had been consumed in tho process. As there is not much warrant for the belief political discussion will wane as election days approach, the , Wisconsin Senator felt justified in taking time and trouble to collate and publish his “pertinent facts.” The return to Washington of John Ball Osborne.

Governor Bproul has been requested by the American Forestry Association to set aside a memorial forest to the memory of Dr. Joseph Trible Rothrock, pioneer in forestry, whose death occurred recently at Westchester. Dr. Rothrock. whose reputation as a botanist and big game hunter was woild wide, was the inventor of "Pemlcan,” a food combination used by explorers and travelers. In addition to his work In behalf of the forests of Pennsylvania as a member of the forest reservation board of the State, Dr. Rothrock was active In the fight on tuberculosis. He established the first free sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculosis in Pennsylvania at Mont Alto in 1902. A tablet was placed there by the Chester County Medical Society.
