6000 FRIDAY OF WAR DAYS IS RECALLED Contrast of Quiet Worship, Mad Enlistment Is Brought Back. (Trotn “The Lltlni Church,” AprU t*. 1917. by Mr* Srh S. Prtt.) "Nowhere in this broad land of ours, among the hundreds of parishes which kept the solemn threehour vigil of Good Friday, was there, probably, such a service, so environed, as that held in Christ Church, Indianapolis, on last Good Friday. “Christ Church nestles—a little Gothic gem—almost at the foot of the grpat Soldiers’ Monument, said to be the finest one in America. This shaft occupies a grpat circular plaza made beautiful by fountains, statues and illuminants. “And on this particular day it was the seething center of great war activity. Up its many steps climbed strangers, whole families visiting the city to see what was going on. They lifted their children up to read the Inscriptions to the fallen, to the loyal women of the sixties; let them gaze on the sculptured form of the great War Governor, Morton, and to put their small and inquisitive hands in the cannon's mouth.

"It Was Symbolic Weather” "The day was wonderful as to weather—it was symbolic weather, if thtre is such a thing. Although the opening of April, the wind—the fierce, keen, penetrating, vindictive wind—was that of the month of March. It was as if the mighty Djinns howled “War” among the tops of the skyscrapers and shrieked in ominous roar and bellow through street, avenue and open space. “It whistled over the great Monument Place, grewsome, in a way, and yet, joined with the brilliant sunshine, a tremendous, forceful influence compelling to action. It twisted the flags on a thousand staffs and twined them tightly; then, with a mellow change of heart and a flutter of softness, unfurted them until one could count every star. “Truly it was a wonderful day—and joined to its wonder was the wonder of Good Friday. Recruiting Offices Around “Recruiting offices were all around; places where one might join the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps. Placards implored one to join Battery E or Company A; window's displayed the equipment of the soldier boy even to the cot he w'ould sleep on. “Boy Scouts, Funston Reserves—a company of lads founded by Meredith Nicholson, a churchman—Harrison’s Reserves, Law'ton Guards, all organizations of young boys, were übiquitous, some parading in squads, some in groups persuading the reluctant, some examining machine guns, others gazing into the windows of the Red Cross rooms where busy and quiet women sew'ed on shirts, tore bandages and counted comfort kits. # “And in the very midst of it all was Christ Church with its comers and goers. Going into its cool grpen depths was like going into another world. Outside was the very Spirit of the Lord God of Battle; within, the Peace of Christ and peace with victory’. “No Semblanre of Mourning” “There was no semblance of mourning about the chancel; no draped altar nor shrouded Cross. The sun shone penetratingly through the stained windows on the flag in its accustomed place opposite the Cross, on the altar with its brasses, and. above, on the pictured window of Christ the Good Shepherd. The rector sat by the prayer book and gave the seven meditations, some of them warm from his own heart and some of them the eloquent words of others. “And it was strange how some of

PIPE-SMOKING BULLDOG WINS LITTLE FRIEND

i * ~ 'mL ffiip - ~ jk

At Meridian and Washington-sts, Barbara Jean Johnson, who was taking a pre-Easter promenade just to get into practice, encountered a pipe-smoking bulldog. She was so entranced that she took the dog in tow. Then, just after this picture was snapped, the dog took her in tow and she had to relinquish her hold on his collar. It's just one of the many manifestations of spring that sharp eyes can find in Indianapolis. Barbara Jean is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Johnson, 1956 N. Tibbs-av.*

these lent themselves to the stirring spirit of the day. How beautifully the Christ dying for men was made the great exemplar of the young soldier! And the speaker pleaded for the Red Cross, calling it a great Christian institution, ‘the Cross of Christ, red with His loving blood.' “And these thoughs lost nothing in fervor and solemnity from the fact that the tw’o collegian sons of him who spoke had just become enrolled with those who would serve their country’. “Through prayer and hymn and meditation there came at intervals the peal of a bugle, the shrilling of fife and drum, the calling of extras, ‘the tramp of marching men, for every organization seemed on parade that day. "There was no coughing, no

changing of pew, no motion save the handling of hymnal; and the going and coming was of the quietest. The singing was general, heartsome, sympathetic; ‘Go to dark Gethsemane’ takes on an awesomeness when bugle-note, fife and drum make its accompaniment. “The last meditation, the peroration over, the Nunc Dimittir softly sung on bended knee, the last prayer, the blessing; the long pause of worshippers who seemed loath to leave that spot of peace. How eloquent seemed that prayer-fraught silence while the old bell of Christ Church, which had rung in another war-time, tolled thirty-three strokes, solemnly—lingering.”

CONVICTION OF BANKER UPSET BY HIGHJJOURT Jury’s Rights Usurped in Rollo Walter Trial, Is Decision. Reversal by the Indiana Supreme Court yesterday of the conviction of R 4 illo M. Walter. Lagrange banker, on embezzlement charges, is expected to have far reaching effect on future bank embezzlement prosecutions. Mr. Walter, a former state Senator, already has served a year of a two to 14 year sentence on an embezzlement conviction. He rerecently was released from prison* when he posted an appeal bond. The court opinion, w’ritten by Chief Justice Michael Fansler, held that in bank embezzlement trials, the trial judge can not instruct juries that the mere fact that a banking institution accepts deposits within 30 days of failure of the institution establishes a “criminal intent” on the part of the bank official on trial for embezzlement. It is up to the juries themselves to determine whether the “criminal intent” existed, the court held, pointing out that such a view is a definite application of the constitutional provision that the “juries are the judges of the law and evidence in criminal cases. Another important point in the decision was the ruling that juries from which women are barred solely because of their sex are illegal and their decisions are invalid. The court held that jury commissioners have no power to exclude

U. S. CODE HEAD RESIGNS jN HUFF Editor Resents Report to Senate on NRA Extension for Hardware. Rivers Peterson, editor of the Hardware Retailer, yesterday resigned as chairman of the National Retail Code Authority in protest over a resolution advising the Senate Finance Committee that the hardware group favors extension of the NRA for not more than two years.
