CITIZENS’ APATHY TO GOVERNMENT IS TOLD Traffic Club Hears Addresses on Affairs of State. “Although we are trying’ to prove that our government is the right type, we find more than half of our citizenship refusing to participate,” Paul V. McNutt, Indiana University Law School dean and State Amerii an Legion comandmer, declared at the Trafißc Slub annual banquet at the Claypool Thursday night. “Indifference has brought in rule by minority which has no place in representative government,” McNutt said.

MOVE TO BLOCK WARINEUROPE Poland’s Chief to Present . •’ His Side to League. BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 9. Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, dictator of Poland, arrived today to argue out across the League council table with Premier Voldemaras of Lithuania this seven-year dispute over the Vilna district Council members feared there might be fireworks, but oratorical ones alone. Only a fortnight ago there was threat of war between the two countries. It seemed certain today that the council would succeed in putting the dispute on a plane where Poland and Lithuania, for the present at least, would depend on diplomacy to solve their differences. It was expected that open discussion of the dispute would be postponed until Saturday. Then Mynheer Van Blokland, as council agent, was expected to make an unbiased report on the Viina situation, and to offer suggestions for its liquidation. The council planned that upon receipt of Van Blokland’s report French and British council members should make counciliatory statements which, it is hoped, would avert any exchange of unpleasantries by Pilsudski and Voldemaras. HELD FOR WIFE ATTACK Ernest Branham, 24, of 302 E. Michigan St., suffered cuts on the arm and hand and was held by police today awaiting filing of a warrant by Mrs. Charlotte Branham charging assault and battery, as a result of an altercation in the Go.dsmith drug store. 501 Massachusetts Ave., Thursday night. Branham is charged with having attacked his wife, but when two men interferred he missed en attempted blow -t one man, his fist going through a showcase. He wai booked on charges of malicious destruction of property and into' cation.
