CITY MANAGER * LEAGUE WILL KEEP UP FIGHT Campaign for Legislation Will Be Waged by Committee. Plans for continuing the fight for city manager legislation and for a constitutional amendment giving Indiana cities “home rule.” are under con'ideration by the special committee f thq Indianapolis City Manager League. Spurred by the state supreme court decision holding the city manager law invalid, the executive body of the league Wednesday at Lincoln chose the committee to draft a program for carrying on a five-year fight for non-partisan city government. Charles F. Coffin. W. H. Insley, John W. Esterline, Edward O. Snethen, Henry L. Dithmer, Charles | J Lynn and Mrs. George C. Fin- i frock comprise the committee which ; will rejiort on the survey Friday. Consider Support League support for the Citizens j School Committee ticket for the j school board was considered. Her- j man C. Wolff, school committee j chairman, and J. J. Daniels, attend- j ed the manager conference. “We must perpetuate and avail j ourselves of the public opinion ere- I a ted during the last five years. It j would be unthinkable to indorse a } party ticket in the fall election.” i said City Councilman John F. ; White, a league leader. 1 "There is no doubt in my mind j that we could have nominated a ■ ticket and cleaned up Indianapolis ! if we had been confronted with this j situation before the date for the j primary,” W. H. Insley, league | chairman said. The plea of Charles F. Coffin. ; State Life Insurance Company president, that there be no change in name of the league and that the goal of non-partisan government be unchanged “if it takes another five years,” drew heavy applause from the twenty-five manager supporters. Easily Remedied Every defect in the law pointed out by the high court could be remedied in tdh lines by the next legislature, Coffin declared. Drafting of the ‘ best statute passible” probably will be undertaken in the next legislature to make it possible lor cities to choose the manager plan to govern cities. “I heartily favor getting behind the Citizens’ School ticket and urging the voters to back this ticket and none other,” Coffin asserted. Winfield Miller, state senator from Marion county urged the “home rule” provision which “would be beyond the bickerings of any legislature. “The farmers, bankers and homeowners also are coming into the picture,” Miller said. “There will be a half dozen points for revision when we start redrafting the state constitution.” “The trend of city manager government is a nation-wide reform and I want Indianapolis to have it some day no matter how long it takes.” said Mrs. George C. Finfrock, the only woman candidate on the manager ticket.

•GRETCHEN’ WEEPS

‘Tommies’Are Homeward Bound

Bv l fitted Preg* WIESBADEN, Germany, Sept. 26.—The powers that move the soldiers of the world have made Germany rejoice and Gretchen weep. The English “Tommies,” who, for there years, have been stationed in this quaint old German city and have now started their trek homeward, are leaving behind many frauleins with heavy hearts. Three years have fostered many romances. There have not been many wedding because the authorities have frowned upon the soldiers marrying while on duty. Fifty-two British soldiers, however, will return to England with German wives, many of whom can not speak English.

The tearful scenes at the station, as each contingent departs, demonstrates the affection which the residents of Wiesbaden, and especially the frauleins, hold for their former enemy. Some of the last scenes between sweethearts recall the departure of the soldiers to fight in the recent war. The Germans are glad to have

MARRIAGE MAY HEAL BREACH IN BALKANSTATES Rumanian Princess Will Wed Bulgarian Heir, Reports Say. Hu United Press VIENNA, Sept. 26.—The breach between Bulgaria r and Rumania, opened during the World war, may be healed soon by the time-honored method^ of a royal marriage. Reports from Bucharest of the ; possible engagement of King Boris of Bulgaria and Princess Ileana of Rumania were received here not only as news of an interesting royal romance, but as an item of political significance in the Balkans. The father of Boris, Czar Ferdinand, who abdicated in 1918 in favor of his son, accused King Ferdinand of Rumania of “stabbing him in the back” during the war. An alliance now between the two houses undoubtedly would restore harmony between the two neighboring states and further strengthen the Balkan alliances of Rumania. Boris, 36, and still a bachelor, has been seeking a bride for years. His attempt to win Princess Giovanna of Italy was blocked by the Bulgarian constitution providing that the queen must be orthodox Catholic, while the Savoys are Roman Catholic. Ileana is only 20, and an extremely charming girl. In the opinion of Vienna observers, the match is ' likely to receive the approval of her [ ambitious mother, Queen Marie.

the Rhineland evacuated, but they regret that the evacuation takes away the friendly “Tommies,” with whom they have had such pleasant associations. The troops, likewise, have grown fond of Wiesbaden, with its charming open-air cases, its bands, cabayets and gardens. They realize sadly that back in Catterick and Aldershot, their homeland true enough, they will miss the warm, entertaining life of Wiesbaden. A young Scottish artilleryman summed up the situation admirably from his angle. He said: “It is much cheaper to have a sweetheart here than back home. They make you save more money, and when you take a German girl out, she always wants to pay her share.”

SEVEN PLANES IN SEARCH FOR MISSINGMRTY Intrepid Canadian Fliers Defy Elements in Geologist Hunt. Bu United Press WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 26.—Seven of Canada’s most intrepid aviators were aloft in spite of bad weather today, searching the barren lands near the Arctic circle for Colonel C. D. H. McAlpine and his party of seven geologist-explorers. Should their motors fail, it was almost certain the searchers would have made their last patrol, for chances of rescue are slight in the northwest territory. Fliers known to be in the air today were J. D. Vance and Pat Reid, who left The Pas; Captain Charles Sutton and Bill Spence, who took off from Stony Rapids, Sask.; and Captain B. W. Broatch, Pat Kelly and W. W. Sherlock, who are ■working out of Athabasca, Alberta. Colonel McAlpine’s party, in two planes, set out from Coronation gulf in the Arctic ocean Sept. 10 for a 2,000-mile flight to Aklavik. No word has been received from explorers and it is believed they were forced down on some frozen lake and crushed, due to the fact their planes were equipped for water landings only. Due to the desolate country it was feared they soon would starve, even if they escaped from the planes uninjured. The gravity of the situation was increased further Wednesday by an announcement from officials of the Dominion Explorers Company that eight men, instead, of five, as previously announced, were missing. Those listed were McAlpine, Richard Pierce, Major J. D. Baker, Albert Broadway, Alex Milne, Captain J. McMillan, C. A. Thompson and a mechanic named Goodwin. The jaws of the human being are said to have dropped half an inch since the days of prehistoric man.
