MOUNTED SOLDIER , TRAINING RECALLS INDIANWAR DAYS State Guardsman at Camp Knox Hold Daily Classes in Horsemanship, By DOROTHY STANHOPE. Times Staff Correspondent CAMP KNOX,; Ky., Aug. 10—Go where you will in or about the National Guard area any morning this week, on the golf links, the polo field, the air field, it matters not which, the sight that catches the eye is a line of horses, each mounted by a soldiey whose red hat cord proclaims him a member of the artillery, either of the 138th Kentucky or 139th Indiana National Guard.

At times the horses travel over the field single file, and, as they appear against the sky along the ridges, every spectator recalls the popular picture of Indian warfare. The horsemen are the drivers for the various artillery pieces. Some of them had never ridden until this week land the lessons in equitation are not of unmixed joy. Target Practice ■While the drivers are at horse exercise, the gunners are at their pieces, becoming acquainted with them. Next week will be spent in target practice out on the artillery range, so the exercises of these days are to make ready for target practice. Every night there is the formal guard mount, when the guard for the succeeding twenty-four hours is mounted. And every evening there is a formal parade by batteries.

CIVIC CLUB HEADS JOIN SCHOOL FIGHT Denounce Effort to Block Improvement In Deplorable Housing Situation and Promise Cooperation,

Civic Club leaders today joined Par-ent-Teacher club officials in denouncing the remonstrance against the sl,650,000 bond issue for school building construction in Indianapolis. The civic club members indicated they would attend the hearing on the remonstrance before the State board of tax commissioners and thrwo all their influence toward preventing any further delay in improving the deplorable school housing situation. Civic Club Leaders Here are expressions from civic club leaders: EDWARD O. SNETHEN, 233 W, Maule Rd., president Federation of Community Civic Clubs—l'm in favor of going ahead with the building program. Indianapolis now is far short of adequate school buildings. We must have more school buildings, and we do not have to waste any money to no it. A. LEROY PORTTEUS. 2313 Coyner Ave., President Brookside Civic League—The city is sadly in need of schools. It seems to me the issuing of bonds is the best way of getting the funds. A city like Indianapolis has to keep ahead of its school system. Since the cost of issuing bonds Is spread over several years it seems to be a fair proposition. JOHN F. WHITE, 1545 Lexington Ave., president Southeastern Civic Improvement Club—l certainly would not protest against the issuing of bonds in order to carry out the school board’s program. The school system is so far behind in equipment and school children are so badly in need of housing that I would hesitate very

the man who had taken the grave step of ordering the armies of France to invade a neighbor’s territory would have taken the trouble to ascertain the elementary facts of his . case. Part of this gigantic sum went for the armies of occupation, part for reparatione. But it all came out of German assets. Will the next three and a half years bring anything approximating that figure to the allied coffers? , Resistance Surprising It is a safe statement to make that no one in charge of the French movements anticipated a resistance approaching in its stubbornness that which they have encountered. The friendly press, both in France and here, foretold the speedy collapse of German opposition. All the French {Hans were based on that assumption. An Englishman who was there when the occupation began asked a French officer how long he thought it would take. The answer is indicative of th i spirit in which the venture started. “Optimists think it wilj take a fortnight,” he said. "Pessimists think it may take three weeks.” Reference back to the January telegrams ftom Paris and Pusseldorf will show that this officer accurately expressed the general sentiment of these who were responsible for the Ruhr Invasion. Soldiers estimate chances of resistance in terms of material and trained men, and statesmen too often build their hopes on the same shallow foundations. They never ajllow for the indomitable reserves of the human heart which do not figure in Army lists or iii statesmen’s annuals. The Ruhr tragedy Is not the first, nor will it the the last, to be initiated by facile memoranda framed by generaf staffs and civilian functionaries drawing inspiration from pigeon holes. Whatever becomes of this episode, it is already clear that the estimates of military men, of transport officials, of intelligence departments and of presiding ministers have been hopelessly falsified. Many more soldiers have been sent into the Ruhr than had been thought necessary; much less coal has come out of the Ruhr than had been confidently expected. Many Frenchmen In Ruhr There are already as many Frenchmen in the Ruhr as Napoleon commanded at Waterloo. As to the coal they have succeeded in sending across the frontier in six months, It Is about equal to a month’s delivery by the Germans during the period of "defaujt” which provoked the invasion. Desperate efforts have been made at great cost to increase the yield so as to satisfy French and foreign opinion that resistance Is gradually breaking down. Rubbish is shoveled into railway cars in order anyhow to swell the quota. Coal is seized anywhere, even in the streets. And General bluff and genial Breton, who is in charge of transport arrangements, breezily challenges all critic* to look at the mounting pyramids of his dust-cart collection and rejoice with him in the triumph of French organization under his control. Alas, the Celtic fire of Monsieur Trqoquer, even when fed by the sweepings of the Ruhr, cannot keep going the blast furnaces of Lorraine. So there is much disappointment add discontent amongst the forgemasters of France. All the same, there must be a limit to human endurance. Either France or Germany must give way in the end. Which will it be, and when will It come and how? In answering these questions, one must begin by remembering that for France the honor of her flag is involved in success. Failure would irretrievably damage her prestige. Every Frenchman knows that. That Is why statesmen who disapprove invasion support the government in all their proposals for bringing It to a successful end. And here France ha legitimate complaint against her alllies. It is all very well for Italy now to counsel wisdom. Signor Mussolini was

present at the hush confeience wb*ch sanctioned the invasion. He fixed tae price of assent in coal tonnage. That price has been regularly paid. Belgium is now getting scared at the swelling magnitude of the venture. But she committed her own honor as well as that of France to carrying it through. Britain Also In I am sorry to think that Britain is not free from such responsibility in the matter. It is true that her representatives disapproved of the enterprise, but not on grounds of right or justice. On the contrary, whilst expressing grave doubt as to the ultimate success of the Invasion, they wished the French government well in the enterprise on which they were about to embark. Not one of the allies is in a position, with a clean conscience, to urge France to haul down her flag. , There is only one course which could be urged on the French government as being consistent Adtb French honor, and that is The reference of the dispute to the League of Nations. That would be an enforcement of the Treaty of Versailles. That suggestion the British government have refused to press on France. The strugggle must, therefore, proceed to its destined end. It may be assumed that the British government will not Intervene effectively. What about the ministerial declarations? Surely these strong words must be followed by strong actions! Those who rely on that inference know nothing of the men who used the words, or of the forces upon which they depend for their ministerial existence. It is true that some weeks ago Mr. Snodgrass took off his coat and proclaimed cryptically and fearlessly that unless peace was restored on his terms something would happen. The French 'government replied caJmly that they meant to persue their course. So last week Mr. Snodgrass takes off his waistcoat. But don’t be alarmed; there will be no blows; his friends will hold him back. Visits, Visits, Visits Meanwhile Mr. Winkle has gone to Paris to lunch with one of the combatants. Next week he will be followed by Mr. Pickwick who will call on another, and wee': after next Mr. Tupmad proposes to pay another propitiatory visit. The French have accurately taken the measure of the mind and the muscle of those who indulged In these spectacular exhibltlors of ball punching in Westminster with refreshments at Rambouillet. We may therefore assume that whatever conversations take place at these genial gatherings or issue from them, the French won’t be talked out of the Ruhr. After the emphatic declarations made by the head of the French government it may be assumed that France will insist at all costs on enforcing her will. She has put for-

ward two demands. The first is that Germany shall abandon passive re si stance as an essential preliminary to negotiations. The second is that her forces should remain in the Ruhr until the last payment is made.'Will the German government acept these conditions? A settlement on these terms is only possible on two assumptions. The first is that a German government can be found strong enough to acept them and to survive their acceptance. The second is that there is a French government wise enough to give liberal interpretation to these demands The first depends to a large extent on the second. Events of the past few months added immeasurably to the difficulties >of negotiation. Incidents which are inseparable from a foreign occupation in any land have exasperated German opinion and reached depths of hatred which had never been stirred, even by the great war. The deportation of 75,000 Germans from their homes in the Ruhr area, the repression,, the shooting, the starving, the holding up of food trains until essential supplies rot. The myriad insolences of unchallengeable force. The passions which make the French policy so intractable are entirely attributable to .the German occupation of France. Frenchmen are now sowing the same angers in the German breast. Hatreds are bad negotiators. That is why I despair of a real settlement. Germany Might Collapse But Germany may collapse. She might even break up temporarily. The authority of the central government has already largely disappeared. It has practically ceased to collect taxes. Berlin has no influence in' Bavaria, and the monarchy might be restored in that province at no distant date. There is a movement in the Rhineland to set up a republic freed from the dominion df Prussia. This movement is fostered by french agencies and financed by French subventions. If it is declared, Prussia will not be allowed to suppress it. We may, therefore, soon witness a Rhineland republic whose glorious freedom and independence will be Jealously guarded by colored warriors of Senegal and Cochin, China. Saxony might be captured by communists and Prussia be torn between monarchist and communist. These are not unlikely happenings. Is it too much to say that they are not altogether out of the computation of French' statesmanship? If Germany dissolves, then the Rhineland and the Ruhr would remain under the dominion of France. France would not secure reparations. But she would enjoy security, and she would, so it Is conjectured, enormously enhance her power in the world. An old French dream would be realized. The work of Bismarck would be undone and the achievement of Napoleon would be restored and perpetuated. There is an old Welsh saying that it is easy to kindle a fire on an old hearthstone. This Idea of a Rhineland under French domination is the old hearthstone of Charlemagne. Mazarin sought to relight its flames. Napoleon the First kindled on it a blaze that scorched Europe. Napoleon the Third had hopes of warming his chilling fortunes at the glow of its embers, and now the great victory of 1918 has set French ambitions once more reviving the fires on the old hearthstone. It is a bad outlook for Europe.

BOWKER LEADS IN ‘THE BADMAN’ CAST Walker to Present Successful Stage Comedy Next Week, That the road to happiness can •have a lot of detours and bad stretches in It, is proven beyond the peradventure of a doubt in the Porter Emerson Browne comedy, "The Bad Man,” which the Stuart Walker Company will put on at the Murat during the coming week. It is a romance in .which until the very end, thorns are much more plentiful than beds of roses. "The Bad Man” was originally produced by Wiliam Harris Jr. at the Corfiedy Theater in New York with Holbrook Blinn in the title role. The play enjoyed an unusuaJy lengthy and sucessful engagement and when the road tour was started was booked into this city. For some reason, however, the engagement was cancelled and the Stuart Walker company presentation beginning Monday night will be the first opportunity local theatergoers have had to witness this • comedy. Porter Emerson novelist' and short stojy writer, is the author and he has such other successes to his credit as “A Fool There was,” “Rich Man, Poor Maju” and "The Spendthrift.” "The Bad Man” is a story of American ranch life close to the Mexican border. It is a comedy bnt its tremendous appeal, next to the dynamic character of Pancho Lopez, the central figure, is the intensely human romance that it weaves, entangles and then manages satisfactorily to straighten out. Gilbert Jones and Lucia Pell loved one another before circumstances almost forced her into a marriage with Morgan Pall. The chance came for Pell to turn Jones and his invalid uncle out of their home, to leave them shelterless. He was ready to do it when—out of the South came a Strange sort of Lochinvar in the personage of Lopez, a Mexican bandit with a New York education. Lopez was a “Bad Man.” At least he was reputed to be and when in company with his band he rode up to the Jones ranch he didn’t have the slightest idea of assuming the role of a fairy god-father. But as Bums or someone else once remarked the best laid plan of mice and men often go astray, just so did Pancho Lope* ride away from the Jones ranch a few hours later without having accomplished the purpose he had In mind and which prompted his coming. Aldrich Bowker will have the title forte. The cast will include George Somnes, Taylor, Boyd Agin, Jean Spumey, Jack K.ng Davis, William Kirkland, James P. Webber, Thomas Springer, Wayne Huff and others. *> Muncie Speeders Fined.
