MUCH IS DONE DY SALVATION ARMY WORKERS Have Moved Into New Relief Department—Figures Show Scope. The Salvation Army has moved into its new relief department at 205 W. Pearl St., and with the larger quarters and better facilities, expects ti extend Its work for the coming year, although the 1925 report is gratifying. “Our many generous friends have helped to make these results possible,” says Maj. William B. Sowers, divisional commander, “also the splendid cooperation among our helpers has aided us. “Everything we do In the Army is done with the idea of getting to the spiritual needs of those helped,” tho major continued, "but the material aid rendered, of course, is a necessary channel through which to reach them, and we for the opportunity and the means.” “The Salvation Army was the pioneer organization in this kind of work. To eliminate duplication of efforts, we are in touch with other organizations through our clearing bouse, and though w r e sometimes are criticised for lack of severity in these investigations, we really only minister to worthy cases.” Figures Show Scope Some of the figi>res which indicate the scope of the relief work in Indiana, covering forty-six counties, were given by the major. These Included 352,855 pounds of coal supplied to poor families, 26804 garments, and 15,522 Christmas dinners given out. A total of 12,303 families, or about 56,244 persons, were helped. The total number of transients rendered aid was 1,687, and 7,171 persons were helped by the army’s employment bureau. Sowers is enthusiastic regarding the prison work done In the Indiana division. The army works partly through what it calls its “Brighter Day League,” which takes its membership from among the 1,619 men under tidity years of age, In the State Reformatory at Pendleton Twenty-two Reformatory inmates have been pa robed and placed in custody of the major. "They’re doing well too,” he asserted. “Before they can he paroled, somebody must agree to give them employment The majority respond to the kindness shown them and make good.” He also praised the Industrial Home. "No homeless man in Indianapolis who is willing to do some work, is obliged to go without food or lodgings,” he says. The home, which is in excellent quarters at 127 W. Georgia St., is equipped to take care of all emergencies. Every man who accepts accommodations must, In return, do some work on the collecting wagons, in-the warehouse, or In the shop. Food and Bed Given In, return for such work, food from the model kitchen, a clean bed and the encouraging atmosphere of a home, is extended to every man. A small cash remuneration also is given, so that the men feel that they are supporting themselves and are not a tax dn the community. Adjutant Malcolm Salmond, the manager of the home, has been engaged irt work among the men for many years. The Fresh Air Camp, for poor mothers and children, was a great blessing to the beneficiaries the past year. During the hot summer months, 677 mothers .and children were taking care of and given a week’s outing. Four new cottages were erected this year, bringing the number up to eleven. The Rotary, Kiwapis, and Lions Civic Clubs each have dedicated a cottage to the underprivileged children of Indianapolis. On Dec. 24, Christmas eve, 600 baskets were supplied to needy families and 3,000 children were given a Christmas treat at Tomlin, son Hall. Candy, fruit and toys were distributed to the youngsters.” “Our many generous friends may indeed feel proud in having helped us to make these great i-esults possible," concluded Major Sowers. The finance board of :he Salvation Army consists of Major Sowers, chairman; Staff Captain J. Conrad Elmquist, secretary; Staff Captain John J. Shearer, and Captain John F, Hazlett, _ .-i

v KA Service ASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—TacnaW Ariea, the Alsace-Lorraine of ' South America, is a pot full of diplomatic trouble that Is on the verge of boiling over and creating a very nasty mess. It is a situation, in fact, that may easily lead to war. And, as usual, the unoffending, well-wishing peacemaker will probably make himself thoroughly unpopular, no matter ( \vhat. the outcome. To understand this situation it is necessary to go back nearly half a century. Tacna is a small province on the west coast of South America at the extreme jiorthem tip of Chile. It Is bordered on the north by Peru and on the west by Bolivia, and originally was held by Peru, with Bolivia having some more or less shadowy joint claim. This barren little province is full of rich nitrate beds. Further, Ariea, the principal city, occupies a strong position that makes It possible to be made the strongest fortified port on the coast. Hence its Importance. "Chile had begun exploiting the nitrate fields while the province was still under the Peruvian flag. In 1879 Chile decided to extend its control, declared war on Peru and Bolivia, whipped them to & frazle, and look possession the province by force of arms. Boiitta’s claim was dropped. But Peru protested so loudly that when the peace treaty was signed the Chileans in tpe province at the end

But that plebiscite was never held. Chile kept putting it off, and Anally, in 1322, Peru appealed to President Harding, who agreed to act as arbitrator between the two countries. This job was inherited by President Coolidge. Coolidge decided, naturally, that the plebiscite’ must held now. This tickled the Chileans and enraged the Peruvians. For during Chile's thirty-llve-year possession of the province most of the Peruvians had been driven kmt. Tacna arid Arica were thoroughly Chileanized. The vote, it seemed, could have only one result. Accordingly, Coolidge sent General Pershing to 'the scene at the head of an American commission with orders to see that a fair vote was held. Under Pershing’s orders, Chile, whose army had planned to "supervise” the election, was to keep her hands off while the vote was beinjf taken. Peru was elated. The expelled Peruvian nationals began to swarm back into Tacna. Now Chile was sore—good and sore. Her commissioners announced flatly that they would have nothing to do with such a plebiscite. They would not participate in the vote and would not recognize its result. With matters in this deadlock, it was announced that General Pershing was ill and must return to the United States in the near future. And while his sickness may be very genuine, it is suspected in Washington that his action is a diplomatic gesture of the sort President Wilson made at Paris, when he ordered the George Washington to stand by at Havre and threatened to quit the Versailles conference and go home Just how the matter will Anally be disposed of is something official Washington would like to know. No matter what is done, there is a change that Peru and Chile will go to war. And, either way, one or the other of these two nations will hate the United States for its part as mediator —a job the two nations wished on this country.

I. U. EXTENSION CENTER HELPS MANY IN CITY Division Makes Much Progress in Ten Years of Existence. Ten years ago the Indiana University Extension Division started its first class In Indianapolis with about 300 students. Today the enrollments number 1,057 in the classes conducted at 319 N. Pennsylvania St. and at Shortridge High School, and there are nearly a hundred additional students studying In classes separately organized. All classes are held in the late ajtemoon and evening and are attemJH almost entirely by persons engaged in earning a living. The total enrollment for fall and spring semesters last year was 1,363. Unquestionably hundreds of others would be taking advantage of ‘.he opportunity for growth and development if they wero aware that their State University actually has, come to them. Despite the fact that the Indianapolis center really is a& large as many well-known universities and colleges, with its thirty-six Instructors and Its sixty-five courses, there are many ambitious men and women wanting higher education who do not know that it is at hand. Get Advance Credits Many boys and girls graduating from the high schools in June and In January are reached each year through the high school officials, especially the college advisors These young people continue to live at home with their parents, working during the day to obtain the money for a college education, and attending extension classes evenings. Thus they are able to enter the University at Bloomington or some other unicersity later with one or two years’ advance credits. Buch students usually take the regular Freshman courses in english, languages, mathematics and sclencrf Still others have, in the last two years, taken the teacher training course which enables them to secure In one year’s time the second grade elementary school license. Some of the best students are the more mature men and women of the business world—employes in banks, manufacturing concerns and business offices of ail sorts. These people generally take such subjects as accounting auditing, income tax business law, economics, business organization, banking, business statistics, advertilng, journalism, psychology, or public speaking. Some of them attend for three or four years and secure the University Certificate in Business.

Mrs. Ruth Griffith Bennett, for instance, who recently won the national motion picture essay contest, studied for Jthree years in extension classes, taking ten different courses in writirig, literature and psychology.

Miss Mary Moran of the Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute, grained her master's degree through weekly trips to study in the Indianapolis center, and at the same time was granted the honorary degree of Phi Beta Kappa. About six thousand students have, in the last decade. IdentiAed themselves with Indiana University through the the extension center at Indianapolis. Some of them have never completed their -high school courses, but having maturity, experience and determination, they have been able to carry university courses successfully. Others have used university extension to All a gap between the time when they have left high school and the time when they have been able through their own savings to enter college: still others have come into extension classes after Anancial reverses have forced them to discontinue college temporarily. All in all. the extension division of Indiana Un!versify -Jus established itself as an institution belonging to the people of the community and serving them according to their need*.
