A decline in enrollment in French

classes may indicate a reaction to France's surrender, while the leap in Spanish enrollment, educators point out, is in keeping with the national movement for better relations with South and Central Amerlca. The rise in Latin enrollment indicates there is still a strong interest in classical education. The change is most pronounced at Washington High School where German class enrollment has declined 55 per cent and only 27 pupils are enrolled.

Toledo Attorney Was in Army From 1916 to 1919, Wounded in France.

By TIM TIPPETT Stocky Milo J. Warner, who personifies everything that the Ameristands for, has taken command [of the organization in what may well be its most important year. The Boston convention knew when they chose Mr. Warner for their’ national commander that he must guide this organization of almost a million men through a year when the country for which they once fought is again a part of a world aflame. Born in Lima City, O., on Nov. 11, 1891, Milo Warner showed his first interest in things military when he joined the cadet corps of Ohio University and advanced rapidly to an officers ranking.

“Entered National Guard

After receiving his A. B. degree in 1913 and Bachelor of Laws in 1916, Mr. Warner joined the First Ohio Cavalry, Ohio National Guard. He served with that regiment on the Mexican border in 1916-17. Two days after his wedding to Dorothy Casad Bennett of El Paso, Tex., and La Union, N. M., he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the regular U. S. Army. His promotion to first lieutenant came on June 23, 1917 and he was given the temporary rank of Captain on November 13, 1917. . He left his regiment temporarily

to attend the Army Service School

at Leavenworth, Kas., until September of 1917. His regiment was then converted into the 76th Field Artillery and made part of the Third Division. Lieut. Warner served with his outfit at Ft. Ethan Allen, Vt, and at Camp Shelby, Miss. On April 23, 1918, the young officer stepped off the gang plank onto French soil as commanding officer of Battery B, 76th Artillery.

Seriously Wounded at Front

The battery trained at Coequidan and saw service in the ChampagneMarne and Aisne-Marne campaign sectors. It was near Le Carmel that a rain of bombs cut short his career. On July 28, 1918, while in command of his hattery, he was severely wounded. After spending some time at a base hospital, he was returned to the United States, a disabled war veteran. He was released from the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LUX ATTORNEY INSISTS ON JURY

Choice of Panel May Take Considerable Time on Oct. 7.

The case of Leland Peter Lux, 24-year-old motorist charged: with failing to stop after an accident, will be heard by a jury in Criminal Court. : . Russell J. Dean, attorney for Lux, said today he had fold Judge Dewey E. Myers that he would not waive his client’s right to jury trial. Under the law, Mr. Dean said, the defense and prosecution may agree that a trial will be heard by a judge alone, but that the defendant has a right to trial by jury. Each side has 20 pre-emptory challenges and it appeared possible that the panelling of the jury would take considerable time. The trial is set for Oct. 7.

Lux is charged with failing to|

stop after his automobile allegedly struck 18-year-old Betty Jane Dawson the night of June 5, as she and her escort walked along Post Road tres their car had run out of gasone, i Lux was originally indicted also on counts of reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter. Motions to dismiss the indictments were upheld Saturday by Judge Myers on grounds of unconstitutionality. Prosecutor David M. Lewis has said that he would definitely test the constitutionality of the reckless homicide statute and would appeal its dismissal “in the Lux case,” but not until after the present trial. Mr. Dean said Lux may take the stand during the trial to testify to certain facts not included in his purported statement to deputies.
