Edmund Gilligan Probably the most exciting adventure of the year is “One Lives To Tell The Tale,” written by Edmund Gilligan as told to him by Ludwig Ehlers who was one of the leaders of a band of 300 German merchant sailors who escaped from a prison camp at Capetowrf, Africa, and reached Germany by the way of Asior Minor. Published by Cape & Smith and sells at $3.50. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN PROBABLY the most unusual story of the World war that I have read in the last six months is “Prisoner Halm,” by Karl Wilke, bom in Hanover, Germany, in 1887 and was captured by the French in the last stages of the World war. “Prisoner Halm” is published by the Bobbs-Merrill company and seems to be an authemtic recital of the “hell” that some German prisoners went through in French prison camps. The interesting part of this recital is that some of the German non-commisjioned officers who turned againsr their own countrymen inflicted severe suffering upon the own brothers. This is the striking and sensational. As the author states: “On Golden Sunday the half company had to go without bread. The kitchen personnel were Bavarians; indeed, all the camp jobs were in "the hands of South Germans, the French speculating, successfully, on German disunity.” This story will give you a feeling of mental sickness as the suffering of the Germans in the trenches and in the prison camps are related. Is it true? I don’t know, but I do know that it is a simple and a compelling story of what Halm, a German gunner, claims he experienced. a a a tjpton Sinclair has turned loose his typewriter again and this time It. is directed against the “noble experiment”—prohibition. He dips his typewriter ribbon in vinegar as he shows up the sham of this experiment in “The Wet Parade,” just published by Farrar & Rinehart. a a Have you written your book review yet and sent it to the Literary Editor of The Times? Each week during the vogue of this contest, the writer of this department will give anew fiction, child or travel book for the review printed. Keep your review around 200 words, less if possible. Francis S. Nipp, 27 South Arlington avenue, is the winner of today’s review. Only 16, she has written an interesting review on “Father” by Elizabeth. it a u THE winning review of Miss Nipp is as follows: Father.” bv Elizabeth, published bv Doubleday. Doran Ac Cos.. Incorporated. The amusing incidents resulting from the marriage of a well-known, middle aged writer, the desire of his 33-vear-old daughter for a home of her own. and the distracting efforts of a country rector to aid the daughter in her desire form the basis for “Father” bv Elizabeth. Paradoxically, the greater part of the book is devoted to the daughter Jennifer although her adventures ip individuality are brought about by the unexpected marriage of her father. From the time she sets out into the country to find a cottage in which she may find freedom from her father’s domination, through her experiences in her rural life, until she is, in the end. rescued from the life of secretarial duties she returns to with her father, the action, the conversation, and the situations are novel and delightful. For those who follow the books of Elizabeth no recommendation is necessary. Those readers who are unacauainted with her work could find no more clean and enlovable introduction than “Father.” a a a Even the latest fashion in hats has its influence in literature. Because of the widespread interest in the Empress Eugenie period, the new and definitive life of the last French empress by Octave Aubry has been rushed into its final form and the English translation put through for the J.

The seventy-five delightful Herford illustrations alone are worth the price of admission. a a a COMES John Mellett into the office, but not to talk about his own new novel, “Pigskin Soldier," a football-war story published by Doubieday-Doran, under his pseudonym, Jonathan Brooks.

FUNDS LACKING FOR ENFORCING drivers; law Compulsory Insurance Act Is Due for Haphazard Administration. OGDEN GIVES OPINIONS Bans Use of Printing Board, Auto License Money by Mayr. When the so-called motorists’ financial responsibility act becomes affective Oct. 1, It will face haphazard enforcement due to failure of the legislature to provide funds, it was disclosed. Two opinions on this point have been given by Attorney-General James M. Ogden. One Is to J. Otto Lee, clerk of the state printing board, setting out that printing board funds should not be spent for forms to be used in connection with the act’s enforcement. The other Is to Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state, declaring that while it is up to his department to enforce the act’s provisions, no funds from automobile licenses, or similar fees, can be used for such purpose. ‘Do Best We Can' Mayr declared today that he will “try to enforce the law as best we can without an appropriation.” Illustrating the sort of handicap this will be, he cited the enforcement of a similar law in New Jersey, where the number of licensed automobiles are approximately the same as in Indiana. There, twentysix persons are employed full time in enforcement, he declared. First step toward enforcement was taken by Mayr today in turning the matter over to Joseph Hoffman, head of the incorporations division of the secretary of state’s office. “We will just have to do it the best way we can,” was Hoffman’s comment. Workers to Be Borrowed Clerks and stenographers will have to be borrowed from other branches of the office and work part time on enforcement business, Mayr explained. He admitted that he believed the result will be far from satisfactory. The new law really means compulsory automobile liability insurance for the ordinary car owner. For it provides that if a judgment of more than SIOO is rendered against him in an automobile accident, he must post a showing of financial responsibility with the secretary of state equal to SII,OOO. This means a SIO,OOO personal liability and SI,OOO property damage showing. Failure to make such showing will mean revocation of license. In addition to the civil judgment suit, similar showing must be made upon criminal convictions involving use of an automobile.
START TRAFFIC SURVEY Year’s Study to Be Basis of State’s Future Road Program. State highway commissioners will ask the federal government to cooperate in a twelve-month traffic survey in this state, it was announced today. Similar surveys have been made elsewhere and furnish a traffic count upon which future road plans can be based. Albert J. Wedelnng, Dale, commission chairman, was principal speaker at a dinner at Merom Thursday night. The event was staged to celebrate the taking of a road between Merom and Terre Haute into the state highway system as part of the unemployment relief program. POLICE POST ELECTS Lieutenant Troutman Named Chief of Legion Body. Lieutenant L. M. Troutman was elected commander of police post, No. 56, American Legion, at a meeting Wednesday night. New adjutant is Marion Van Sickle. Other officers are Otto Fulton, first vice commander; Otto Mass, second vice commander; Maurice Wilkinson, finance officer, and Otto Ray and Lieutenant Troutman, delegates to district meetings. Post Commander Troutman will name the other officers of the post. whether book salesmen know anything about books. If all of them would only listen to critics —but Mr. Mellett is convinced Carl Glasscock has written, and Bobbs-Merrill published, a fine book. “This is a yarn about the fabulous, but real, mountain of silver called the Comstock lodge,” says the local writer. ”1 picked it up because I known Glasscock and Bobbs-Merrill. I stayed with it to and through its 350th and last page because I could not help myself. Here is a story filled with murders, thefts, fires, millions, politics, avalanches, whisky, women and, but nothing is omitted. Everything happened around that mountain of silver in the ’soc and ’6os that a flctionist could imagine; and some of the vivid plots and counterplots no flctionist could dream. It is an intensely exciting history. “Among other things, the Big Bonanza renders a service to latter day readers by throwing a cold source-light on some of the great fortunes of today. “Would you know whence came the Mackay, Gould, Fair-Vanderbilt, Hearst, Ogden Mills, Oelrichs wealth, whence and how? And would you like to discover, as I did, one of the most magnetic personalities in American history? Read about Adolph Sutro, in The Big Bonanza. Glasscock and BobbsMerrill deserve a vote of thanks for thispory.”

Convention Applauds 2-to-1 Vote of 19,000 in Organization. By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 18.—The American Bar Association voted at its annual convention to go on record as favoring repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The vote was taken after the results of a poll, conducted by mail during the last # year, were announced, showing that the members of the association voted in favor of repeal by more than two to one. Charles A. Boston of New York announced the result of the referendum during his speech opening the annual convention. The announcement was received with a burst of applause. Boston said that 13,779 attorneys and judges voted in favor of repealing the prohibition law as against 5,625 who favor retaining it. The first clause of the referendum asked whether such a poll should be conducted by the association. On this point 14,782 voted yes; 5,625 voted no. In his opening address, Boston declared that prohibition, the bank, slavery and secession have, more than anything else, disturbed the equilibrium of the nation during the period since the Constitution was adopted. The association today also reaffirmed its approval of the United States adherence to the world court pact in response to request of the committee on international law of which James B. Scott of Washington, D. C., is chairman. FUNERAL RITES SET Arthur Chevrolet Jr. to Be Buried Saturday.

LEGION FORCES MAY PUSH DRY ISSUETO FORE O’Neil Keeps Stand Masked, but Trouble Looms for Convention. MICHIGAN BLOC ‘PERIL’ State Group May Appeal to Chair If Commander Opposes Debate. By United Press DETROIT, Sept. 18.—The position of National Commander Ralph T. O’Neil on the question of prohibition, the bonus and unemployment remained in doubt today as the high chief of the legionnaires prepared for the American Legion national convention next week. O'Neil would commit himself on none of the issues today. “I can’t say what action I shall take on any proposal regarding the prohibition law,” he said. “I’ll meet the problem when it arises.” The commander has power to rule out of order any issues which he deems outside the scope of Legion activities. Last year when a pro-hibition-reform proposal was made the commander ruled the discussion off the floor. Michigan Bloc Feared There is widespread talk this year of Michigan delegates making an appeal to the chair if O’Neil receives scheduled anti-prohibition moves with such a ruling. O’Neil arrived Thursday and immediately plunged into the work of completing his year’s report, which must be printed for the convention opening. Unemployment,, he told interviewers, is a vital question before the convention, but care of disabled veterans always must be the legion’s first concern. “I can not commit myself in regard to the bonus question,” he said, “except to say that I do not believe the government should make a profit off interest on veterans’ bonus loans. In connection with unemployment, I am, of course, opposed to any form of the dole.” Large Groups Arrive While the commander worked on his report, preparations for the convention which will open Monday in Olympia arena went forward rapidly, and delegates began to arrive in larger numbers. One of those most warmly received was Robert Kelley, delegate from Alaska, who made the long trip from the Arctic by bus and steamer. The advance guard of the Boston delegation arrived in a special car Thursday, led by Dennis Haverty, Massachusetts state adjutant; Stephen C. Garrity, state commander, and William H. Doyle, past comrnandei*. It was announced Thursday night that Floyd Gibbons, famous war correspondent, who lost an eye at Chateau-Thierry, will broadcast a daily description of the convention over the radio. Entertainment of the legionnaires will not be confined to Detroit. Windsor, just across the river in Ontario, also is ready for the former American soldiers. In trie government liquor stores of Windsor and its suburbs large supplies of liquors, wines and beers have been provided; Additional help has been arranged and the stores will keep open later in the evening than usual. Can Drink in Pullmans For the second time in the history of the Ontario liquor law Pullman cars will be designated legal residences. Delegates housed in Pullmans in Canada thus may obtain liquor permits the same as those staying at hotels. Windsor breweries have provided amply for the convention, and assurances were given today there will be no shortage of supplies. In Detroit, of course, there is no open advertising of the matter of liquor supplies and prices, but it is understood there will be no drought. Those who have thirsts will be shown where to slake them. But on the whole, those delegates housed in Windsor will have the edge. The prices there are standard and reasonable; the product is government supervised and uncut. STATE BANKS CLOSED ’English and Paoli Institutions Taken Over by Symons. Two Indiana banks were closed this morning, state banking commissioners announced. The Crawford County State bank at English, of which Sam Elsby was president, and State Representative Sam Benz, vice-president, was taken over today by Luther Symons, banking commissioner. The institution was capitalized at $2,000 with deposits of $68,000. The other bank is the Paoli State bank at Paoli, Ind. O. C. Ham was president and C. C.

Shoo, Stork By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—A two-year moratorium on babies has been suggested by Mrs. Margaret Sanger, noted birth control advocate, as one means of relieving the depression. “No woman should have any more children this year or until the industrial situation has returned to normal,” she said. “Every child that is born now will only add to the financial distress of the family, imperiling the health of the older children and adding to a presumably ill-nourished and puny specimen of humanity to a world that already is overburdened with dependents.”
U ESCAPE IN RIOT JATPRISON Guard, Convict Are Shot in Workhouse Outbreak. By United Press WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 18.— Two men, a guard a prisoner, were shot today when rioting broke out at the New Castle county workhouse, six miles from Wilmington. Prison officials said fourteen prisoners had escaped during the rioting. The injured were Anthony B. Hayden, guard, and Clarence Cole, prisoner, branded the ringleader of the outbreak. Cole was recaptured outside the prison walls after he !had been wounded in the shoulder by a guard. Cole was serving eighteen years for banditry and was brought to the prison a few days ago from Wilmington. Most of the escaped men were long-term prioners. Where they obtained the pistols and their other weapons was a mystery. General rioting marked the escape, the most spectacular in the institution’s history.

GANDHI SPEEDS INDIAPARLEY Implied Threat He’ll Quit Brings Results. BY HARRY FLORY . United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 18.—The Mahatma M. K. Gandhi attended the session of the federal structure committee on India today, determined to speed up the deliberations in the interests of achieving something definite. Gandhi made the implied threat that he might withdraw at the first reasonable opportunity, unless action were taken. Even in his first address to the committee on Tuesday he put himself on record at the outset as being ready to withdraw at any time in the interest of harmony. Gandhi’s wishes were met promptly at today’s session. After the committee completed its discussion of direct or indirect elections to a federal India legislature, it adjourned until 11:30 a. m.

There is one person of foreign birth to every seventy native-born persons in the country, the analysis showed. The total population of foreign born in the 1930 census was 13,366,407. The Scotch showed the greatest increase in the ten years, the percentage increase being 74.4 per cent; the number of Italian birth, 17.2 per cent. The Irish were 17 per cent less, while the three Scandinavian countries showed a decrease of 5 per cent, and the number of Germans was 4.6 per cent less.

OUSTED BISHOP STRUGGLING TO RECOVERRANK Brown Makes His Appeal at General Episcopal Convention. DENIES HERESY CHARGE Convicted in May, 1924, by Special Court; Branded as Communistic. By United Press DENVER, Sept. 18.—The reinstatement plea of William Montgomery Brown, 76, deposed Episcopal bishop convicted of heresy, was before the house of bishops at the general Episcopal convention today. Former Bishop Brown was tried in May, 1924, before a special ecclesiastical court, and charged with “denying the divinity of Christ and voicing Communistic views.” He was convicted and the court’s ruling was upheld by a church court of reviews. Brown’s petition said: “I, William Montgomery Brown, formerly a bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States, deposed from the ministry by action of the house of bishops in the year 1925 for heresy, make respectful application: “1. For restoration to the house of bishops, “2. If such reinstatement be refused me, then that an ultimate court of appeal may be established for a final review of the proceedings of my deposition on the questions of doctrine, faith and worship therein involved.” Denies All Charges “In support of the first branch of my application I do allege the following: “1. I subscribe to all formularies of the church; none have I at any time rejected, denied, or departed from any of them. “2. I accept and believe all representations of the old and new testaments, Catholic creeds, Protestant confessions, articles and prayer books; nor have I at any time rejected, denied or departed from any of them. “In support of the first branch of this application I have prepared and sent to each member of the convention, so far as possible, a series of six booklets entitled, “The Bankruptcy of Christian Supernaturalism,” and a pamphlet entitled. “The Vindication of My Heresies,” prefaced by a letter to the members which state my doctrinal position more completely and voluminously than I could by oral presentation. “In support of the second branch of my appliaction I rely on the language of Article IX of the church constitution.” When first introduced into the house of bishops, the memorial was sent to the committee on petitions and memorials by presiding Bishop James DeWolf Perry. May Die in Committee Later, it was decided to recall the petition from the committee and to present it for consideration at a secret council of the house of bishops. The house of deputies meanwhile placed upon the house of bishops the responsibility for initiative on the effort of Bishop Brown to be restored to good standing in the church. It adopted a resolution receiving merely as “information” the deposed bishop’s petition, and declared it would await action by the house of bishops. It generally was expected that Bishop Brown’s plea would die in committee. In 1925, when the general convention met in New- Orleans, Bishop Brown was unseated by his peers. Bishop Brown became a clergyman in 1884. He was made a bishop coadjutor of Arkansas in 1898, and bishop of Arkansas in 1900. He resigned his post in 1912 because of ill health.

Work in Pike county mines will continue, pending determination of the liability of the Patoka Mining Company to pay wages to union miners as provided in the working contract between the Indiana Coal Producers Association and the United Mine Workers of America, it was announced here after a meeting of operators and union officials. From 400 to 500 Pike county miners left their work last week in protest to a wage cut of maintenance of way employes of the Algiers.
