For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Isaiah 65:17. An Ugly Threat AN ugly threat emanated from the White House Friday evening. Happily it was an empty threat, according to later developments. Empty because it is officially insisted that correspondents misinterpreted certain responses by President Harding to certain hypothetical questions put to him. The threat, as broadcast to the world in Saturday morning newspapers, was that the President was not only prepared, if he thought necessary, to seize and operate the coal mines, but to draft labor for work on the railroads. Since then it has been officially explained that the President recognizes the probable necessity for congressional action in case the Government desires to take over the mines or railroads and—which is far more important—that the only “draft" he can make npon American labor is a “moral draft." So, it seems, the President has a clearer understanding of such things than the United States Constitution, and of the inherent liberties of the American people than those correspondents who jumped to the conclusion that we were about to see the amazing spectacle of forced labor in this country. Put it to yourself: “How would you like to be told by Warren G. Harding or anybody else that you had to work, whether you liked it or not, on penalty of being thrown into jail?" That is the sum and substance of the threat which Friday evening’s reports would have had us believe was an official threat from the White House. It was not made clear just whom the President was going to conscript, but it was alleged quite definitely that the President felt he had the right, or at least the might, to force any class of citizens into the mines, the railroad shops and onto the railroad rights of way, even in a peace-time emergency. The Constitution specifically limits the powers of the President, his Cabinet, even Congress, and it specifically protects certain rights of American citizens, particularly their rights to labor, when, where and as they will in time of peace. The White House must know that the vast majority of American citizens will appreciate that the principle underlying these rights is the very sold of this free country. Finally it should have been known—and it seems it is beginning to be realized now—that the vast majority of American citizens would uphold any man who resisted any such forced labor order. Granted it was an empty threat it still was an ugly threat and typical of the “to hell with the working man" theory of government to which powerful influences in this country are endeavoring to commit the President and his Cabinet. Indiana and Lincoln RECENT unveiling of the Nation’s majestic Lincoln memorial at Washington, where the career of Abraham Lincoln closed in immortal glory, may well spur Indiana into some definite action. Kentucky, where Lincoln was born, and Illinois, where he gained fame, have provided suitable memorials. But Indiana has done practically nothing, although it was here that Lincoln spent fourteen formative years of his boyhood, living in a rude Spencer County cabin. It has remained for citizens of Indianapolis to take the first active steps toward creating a perpetual reminder that Indiana is really a Lincoln State. Organization of the" Indiana Lincoln Memorial Association with Dr. Frank B. Wynn of Indianapolis as president is the sowing of a seed that should find fertile growing ground in the minds and hearts of all Hoosiers. A small tablet is all that today marks the Lincoln cabin site in the village school grounds at Lincoln City. Its foundation is partially composed of the hearthstone before which the boy Abraham lay and studied by the firelight of logs. In the past the Lincoln cabin site and the nearby grave of Lincoln’s mother have been virtually inaccessible to travelers, but with the steady construction of State highways through Lincoln City tourists will soon be able to reach it easily. Whatever form Indiana’s monument to the cabin days of Abraham Lincoln may take it will certainly be a guide post pointing the way for the youth of today to the power and efficiency of a simple life.

LUSITANIA MAY DISCLOSE TRUTH WHENSALyAGED Speculation Continues About Cargo of Unfortunate War Victim. COUNT LANDI IS CONFIDENT Company Expects to Bring Big Liner Out of Her Bed of Sand. By United Press LONDON, July 17.—Speculation Is rife here and on the continent as to the possibility of raising’ the Lusitania. Whether the salvaging is successful or not, revelations of historic import are expected to follow the attempt. Did the Lusitania carry munitions? That is the moot question whicn the salvaging operations are ' expected to clear up. The German press is taking a particularly keen interest in the project. Berlin papers, which have recently been devoting considerable space to discussions of war guilt, are agitating for the appointment of a German official •witness of the salvaging attempt. Count Charles Zarardi Landi, who will command the specially-equipped salvage ship. Semper Paratus, is confident of success. “The Lusitania,” he told an interviewer, “lies in 280 feet of water on a clean gravel bottom. No attempt has ever been made to raise her, because the limit of diving possibilities has hitherto been not much more than 120 feet. The new diving suit which 1 have invented will enable my men to work at a depth of 500 feet.” “Do you expect to bring the Lusitania home under her own steam?” the Count was asked. Engines Disabled “Perhaps not.” the salver replied.” I expect to find her engines disabled by the torpedo that severed her malt steam pipe, thus instantly stopping all her mechanical functions when she was hit. Had that fatal torpedo struck thirty feet further forward, the Lusitania would never have sunk. She could have limped along those few miles and been safely beached.” Count Landi, an Italian by birth, is a naturalized British subject. He spent years in Canada at ship salving and hydrographic surveys.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hello, Bill!

Theodore Roosevelt, assistant Secretary of the Navy, waves his hat at the cheering crowd aa he ma.rches with the Elks at Atlantic City. ANSWERS Von can pet an answer to any question of fact or information by writing to the Indianapolis Times. Washington bureau, 1322 New Yorit Ave.. Washington. D. C . inclosing 2 cents in stamps. Medical, legal and love and marriage advice will not be given. Unsigned i letters will not be answered, but all letters are confidential and receive personal replies.—Editor. Q—Does the United States prescribe the costume of knee breeches for ambassadors? If not, why did Ambassador Harvey wear knee breeches at court In England? A—The United States does not have a prescribed costume for its ambassadors. When Ambassador Harvey i wears knee breeches and silver j buckled shoes to court in England he is simply conforming to the custom of that country—a diplomatic and well-bred thing to do. Q —ls there ary question as to the parentage of Abraham Lincoln. Was Thomaa Lincoln really his father? A —So far as is known and generally accepted the parents of Abraham Lincoln were Nancy Hanks Lincoln and Thomas Lincoln, and all state- ■ ments to the contrary seems to be j slanderous. Q —When was slavery abolished finally in the United States of America? A—The Emancipation Proclamation was dated Jan. 1, 1863, but the con- ! stitutional amendment forever abolish- j ing slavery in all the territory of the ! United States was finally ratified JuJy 28, 1868. Q —Who said that a perfect woman is the noblest thing on earth? A—Perhaps you refer to what Janies Russell Lowell says in “Irene,” "Earth's noblest thing, a woman perfected.” A reader of this column asks for complete Instructions on methods of saving and resuscitating drowning persons. Any other reader desiring the same information may obtain a bulletin on the subject by addressing our Washington Bureau, enclosing 2 cents in stamps for postage. N— J Q. —"When was the Federal employes compensation act passed? A.—Sept. 7, 1916. Q. —Are there any other prominent men, living or dead, who were or are short like Napoleon? A.—Fighting Joe Wheeler. Phil Sheridan, Judge Ben B. Lindsay, Robert M. La Follette and numerous other prominent persons are or were small of stature. Q. —How can I exchange the temporary Liberty bonds that were given me for permanent bonds with all the coupons attached? A. —Send your coupon bonds to the division of loans and currency, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., and have them exchanged for permanent bonds. Be sure to send by registered mail. Q. —How long must a man serve aa fireman railroad before being promoted to engineer? A. —The length of time varies with different railroads, labor conditions, requirements of the road, etc. The usual time is from three to five years; however, where there are no vacancies, men often serve longer. Q. —How much gold is there In a S2O gold piece? A. —There is 464.40 grains of fine gold and 51.60 grains of alloy. The total weight is 516 grains. Q. —When and where was the first Baptist Church in Wales? A.—The first of which record remains was founded at or near Swansea in 1649, in Wales. Q. —Who Is the Swedish minister to the United States? A.—Capt. Axel F. Wallenberg. Q. —Can you give me suggestions for furnishings that a girl 12 years ought to have in her bedroom? A. —This depends a good deal on her personality, means, etc. Generally speaking, we would say that either ivory or white enameled furniture, with perhaps a spray of flowers painted or stenciled thereon, would be pretty. A pink'or blue rag rug, white or cream curtains and bed or bureau coverings would produce a dainty and not too expensive effect.

FRENCHMAN HAS ALARMING VIEW OF UNCLE SAM ‘Capitalist Brigandage’ Is Referred to in His Newspaper. AGAINST WORKING CLASS Documents From I. W. W. Are Quoted to Sustain His Indictment. By United Press PARIS, July 17. —Romain Rolland, who before the war was considered one of the foremost French writers, but who betook himself to Switzerland and launched the pacifist novel "Above the Tumult,” while his compatriots were hurling back the Germans, came out in the socialist paper, L’HumanIte, with a blast against "capitalist brigandage in the United States.” An editorial note of L’Humanite explains that M. Rolland has received from his friends in America a series of documents relating the “unnameable campaign of violence on the part of the capitalists against the vanguard of the working class movement in California.” Rivals “Black Hole.” The documents consist of charges made by I. W. W. leaders that members of that organization have been locked up In California Jails in conditions rivalling the Black Hole of Calcutta. “This,” says M. Rolland in a letter to the editor of LHumanite, "is mereily one episode in the universal reaction and I fear stupid public opinion won’t be stirred in the slightest degree. But some friends of mine have told me that perhaps if these docu- ' ments were published in France, under |my signature, the hypocrisy of the ruling powers in America might be un- ; masked. ”It is with indignation and pain that I have been forced to the conclusion that the great repuhl.c of the new world, formerly so proud of its liberty, is today, just as ours is, in the hand* of the hypocritical and lawless agents of the money powers.” NOSEBLEED 1 '' “ OST cases of nosebleed to not amount to anything.

Marriage By Radio

At one point of the city is the bride. At another is the bridegroom. And at a third is the minister. And they’re all set for the marriage ceremony. This situation actually existed recently in Dallas, Texas. The wedding took place by radio. Miss Mable Brady was the bride and John H. Stone the bridegroom. The Rev. Thomas H. Harper, at a radio station some distance off, performed the ceremony. Each said "I do” from different stations. Then came the kiss, also by radio, and the ceremony was over.

ANALYZES IMPORTANT PART OF REGENERATIVE CIRCUIT

By PAUL F. GODLEY, America’s Foremost Radio Authority. (This is the second of a series of articles on the Armstrong super-regenerative circuit.) An analysis of the super-regenera-tive receiver circuit printed in these columns yesterday shows it to consist of two oscillatory circuits which are supplied with energy by one threeelement vacuum tube. The first of these circuits has inductance and capacity of such value as to enable it to be tuned to wave lengths between 200 and 600 meters. The "ticker” coil in the wing circuit provides a means for a~" M feedback” of signals for ampl.fication. When the “feedback” coupling has been made great enough, the circuit will begin the generation of high

The diagram shows the regenerative Dogs Licking Matt’s Hand Is „ Fidelity Sign By PROF. M. J. ELROI). Chair of Biology. University of Montana. When Mr. Garner spent so many months firing In his iron cage in the Jungles of Africa, studying apes, monkeys and gorillas, he discovered among other things that if a monkey licked the body of another monkey or of man sJ§j or put out its tongue to do so, it was a signal of surrender, to give up, as it were. A traveler in South American woods along the Amazon shot a monkey. The poor little beast was badly wounded, but not dead, when approached. In Its last agony it acted as do similar animals in far distant Africa, it licked the hand of the man who did the mortal injury. The look and the act gave the traveler a feeling of sorrow and regret for his deed. Many similar instances are on record. With other animals the act of licking indicates something akin to what in words would be. “I am your friend, I give up.” So when a dog licks the hand of his master, or attempts to lick his master’s face, it is but his canine expression of fidelity, affection, and devotion. The act doubtless harks back through the ages to the time when the dog-wolf made the choice between man or other dog-wolves, and selected man as his companion. Out of the dim past there remains with the dog this instinct, which is so often not understood, and which represents that which is best and noblest in dog nature. GEORGES PLAYS THE HERO A LA DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS Carpentier in Movie Appears As Noblenyui and Gypsy. LONDON—Georges Carpentier has settled down in London for a couple of months, but his fights will be only those of the movies. Having contracted with J. Stuart Blackton to play in six productions, Georges has gone into training for the first picture. He wifi appear in the dual role of nobleman and fighting gypsyFighting will not be the feature of the story, but there is one good dramatic mix-up in which the smiling Georges collects all the purse and some side bets. Riding ala Fairbanks is one of the requirements^of the part, and Georges, after doing his turn in the Vois for the past few weeks, can now be seen most any morning “stunting” in dignified Rotten Row. Georges will have as his heroine in his first picture Miss Flora L* Breton, who supported Lady Manner* in. the “Glorious Adventure.”

receiver part of the super regenerative set. Signal energies picked up by, o induced in, the secondary circuit are repeated by the tube into the plate circuit. They are considerably am plified. By coupling the plate and gr.d circuits, the amplified impulses may be fed back through the tube. High Intensity The intensity of the impulses thus developed is very great. Theoret.cally this regenerative action may take place as often as 250,000 times while the letter ”E” is being pronounced. As the coupling between the plate and grid circuits is tightened, more and more of the amplified energies of the plate circuit are fed back into the grid circuit until finally the dissipation of signal energy which has been going on in the grid circuit—due to resistance encountered —is completely offset. At this point regenerative amplification is at a maximum. It is impossible, however, to maintain this adjustment. Regeneration Stops Irregularities of filament temperature, m.nute as they are, cause slight variations in the amplification of the tube and the energy fed back to the grid circuit is sufficient to more than offset the losses there. The resistance of the circuit then, no longer exists. It has passed through zero, and has become a negative quantity. Instead of dissipating the oscillatory signal energy, it is actually generating oscillatory energy—the power being supplied by the batteries. (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service.)

DOCTOR CALLED FOR VOLCANO IN , THROESOF DEATH' ‘Madame Pele’ Thought to Be Gradually Dying Out. ‘PATIENT MAY BE REVIVED’ Threatened Eruption Fails to Throw Off Any of Molten Mass. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, July 17. whether they have a dying volcano on their hands is the question which is now worrying residents of Hawaii, according to Dr. I. Friedaelander, noted Italian volcanologist. So worried were the citizens of the "Paradise of the Pacific” that they employed Dr. Friedaelander, and asked him to diagnose Kilauea, of “Madame Pele,” as they call their pet volcano. Active Last Fall "Madame Pele” started out last fall in a very active manner. The lava began rising higher and higher, and the lakes of the molten rock became red- i .der and brighter. The lava continued to rise steadily until it was within 100 •• feet of the top shortly before the first of June, and threatening a spectacular eruption. Then it suddenly turned ashen grey, and began to decline. Apparently the great weight of the modern sea had reopened one of the mysterious outlets which pours the lava back into the bed of the ocean hundreds of mflea away—no one knows. Return Before Long "I think the lava in Kilauea will return before long,” Dr. Friedaelander declared on his arrival in San Francisco from Hawaii. ”Hawaiian* have nothing to worry about. There is lava in the crater, just as before, only it Is much further down. Probably ita underground outlets Ixlll become clogged or smaller now that the great weight of the immense volume of lava is removed, and if such is the case, a new rise in the level may be expected before long.” INDIGNANT Declares “Yoke of Unionism** to Unfair. To the Editor of The Times President Harding, in his home town talk July 4, along with other things, said "The foremost thought In the constitution is the right of freedom and the pursuit of happiness. "Men must be free to live and achieve. Liberty is gone in America I when any man is denied by anybody the right to work and live by that work. It does not matter who denies him. A free American has the right to labor without any others’ laws.” Those expressions sound wondrously good and just. They have the ring of that spirit of Americanism which won the Revolution, but how are we to , measure our State’s spirit of Americanism with that standard in its institutional construction work? At Pendleton, Ind., where the work not done by convicts is made union work eighteen men in the carpenter - branch alone had to go to Anderson and have the union yoke put on their necks. The first week of operation it is being continued as workmen are taken on, that they may have the privilege of holding their yokes. If Mr. Harding sounded a note Os Americanism what can we say of the actions of our board of trustees, gov- - eming our State institutions? The buildings are the property of the State; the money being paid Is collected by taxation of the people, and by the State. A portion of It may be paid by the men seeking employment at the institution. Those men had never before found it necessary to join an organization that they might make an honest living. But the work is put under the control of an organization that says, "You can’t go to work without men unless you stick your head under 1 our yoke and be subject to our bossea. our fines and our laws (called rules). So they put their heads under the yoke and had to pay the price for the priiviege of being yoked. Is not this something for the tax-paying citizen ~ to think about? Is Harding right or are the members of our board right? Why not have it thrashed out? Anderson, Ind. G. N. W.
