FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 16. 1921 The Decision Was Ho The results of the constitution al election in Indiana last week were-empathically No. Gratifying was the positior taken by counties of the Fncket, in which all of the dangerous and questionable amendments were defeated by majorities even moi decisive than prevailed in the state at largeThe Courier acknowledges with pride the numerous expressions 01 approval and commendation that have come to it for its part in the overwhelming rejection of the amendments. The Corrier was ths only newspaper in Dubois Co that took an avowc d stand aj?3inst the amendments and presented its reasons ior believing that the most of them were either unnecessary or gangerou Dubois coun y cast more votes in the election than Vanderburg COUnty. Who Siys Old Dubois is not onto its job?

AVERTINQ fORßST FIRES. Those Interested In the conservation of our forests might learn valuaWe lessons frorn a studj of how the forests of Sweden are protected from fires, where every inüu, woman and child ts edueüted to be a forest protector, so that devastating forest fires like those of Canada and our own jrreat Northwevt are unknown there. In Sweden promiscuous Invasion of the woods by hunting, fishing and camping parties Is not allowed, and thus the danger from carelessly dropping matches or thaiidoijod camp tire Is greatly lessened; and laws for the protection of forests apalnM (Iron are very strictly enforced The ioph; bave long Mnce been educated to the danger and the fconomJc loi of forest fire. Good roads are built through the big forests of Sweden, thoe In the state forests being built the government, which also compels those owning large forest tracts to build and maintain good roads through them. Recause of these fnnfct roads a colonizing plan for tbe further protection of the forests Is made ractleal, and small settlements of families who divide their time between working In the forests and cultivating their small farms have been established, writes Slay Stxanahan in an exchange. These colonization schemes are fostered by both the state and private owners of large forest tracts.

The report that tbe wife of an army officer living In Washington Is a sufferer from leprosy 1 supplemented by the statement that the attack of the disease Is mild, and that there lsavery hope for recovery. A few years ago sueh an announcement with regard to a victim of Ieproy would have been considered a piece of wild romancing. The leper was doomed, as lepers had been doomed since the beginning of time. Now it is a mere matter of routine that the patient is to be pent to the government hospital in Louisiana, there to receive the newest chaulrnoogra oil treatment which Surgeon General Cummlngs credits with the cure of Sd patients in the federal hospital at Hawaii. 1 Lenin's declaration in favor of capitalism as the only means to save Uussia is now unequivocal and complete. His repudiation of pure communism means that a theory has been tried out and collapsed, says the London Dally Mall. If Lenin takes the logical step he Is bound to annul the seizures of the Ilolshevlk regime. That would create a more confident atmosphere for the resumption of trade If there Is any than the government's agreement with Krassln, which leaves Russia's rightful ownership of the money she öfters for our goods a question to e answeced In courts of law. It is Bolshevist policy to separate Kngland and France, says London Evening Tress. That being Iiolshevlst policy, and the Holshevlks being enemies of the llrltlsh empire, we are encouraged In our conclusion that all true friends of this country must work for the entente, and not only or the entente, but to consolidate the entente Into a solid alliance, against which these secret and public enendes will work In vain. A French professor nnno'inoes the discovery that the plays attributed to Shakeieare were written by William Stanley, the sixth earl of Deiby, which serves to confirm the general Impression that the disagreement among people who think Sh:ikesjeare did not write Shakespeare tends to prove that he did. Managers of hotels are reported to have decided to take the foreign language from the bill of fare and call u spade a spade. It doesn't explain to those who are familiar with modern portions Just what the idea Is In providing a spade. Now, If somebody will lock up Lenin, who Is reported to have locked up Trotzky, and then confine a hundred or more other murderous Bolshelk Idealists," there may be a chance for better days In Russia. While It may !e true that there are 1MHU.TJ more males than females In this country. It requires an awful stretch of the Imagination to classify thousands of them as real men. An expedition bound for Baffin's Land is carrying an outfit to use In showing moving pictures to the Eskimos. A picture of a bathing beach on a hot day ought to Interest them. i So far as we know, whining has j neer yet gotten anywhere toward the jgoal of coiitentmem, but hustle Is a 1 powerful help. It would not be feasible, as a rule. j to have a husband and wife on the ! same Jury if it was desired to obtain a Ncnlltt. In th times, even a law suit ought to be light weight.

PIRATES' LAIR SCENE OF FIGHT Spanish Battle on Scenes of Centuries of Conflict With Tribesmen.

L'OTOniOUS DARBARY COAST Madt Famoua In Prtatnt Qentration by Operation of th Chitfuin Mulal Ahmed Rtlt-ull Recalli Famoua Pericardia Cat. Madrid. That part of Morocco called the Spanish zone, where Spain's troops have Just suffered disastrous reverses at the hands of the Moors with the loss of thousands of men and thousands of square miles of territory, Is part of the notorious Barbary coast whose pirates preyed on European commerce for many years and carried European Into slavery. In the present generation It has been made famous by the operations of the chieftain, Mulal Ahmed er-Ital-sull, who captured and held for ransom Ion Perdlcaris, an American cltlten, in 1005. This was In the administration of President Roosevelt and evoked from Secretary Hay the historic phrase demanding "Perdlcaris alive or Ralsull dead!" It resulted In the almost Immediate release of Perdlcarls. Thret Racc In Land. Three races Inhabit Morocco, the original Berbers, or mountaineers, who conquered Spain on three different occasions; the mixed race of Arabs and Berbers known as Moors both of which races are: generally Mohammedans; and the colonies of Jews which Inhabit the coast cities and control the majority of the country's commerce. The Spanish zone, where the fighting Is now In progress, Is a narrow strip of land along the northwestern coast fronting on the Mediterranean aea. It extends from Algeria, under control of the French, to the Atlantic ocean on the west. It does not, however. Include the extreme northwestern tip of land on which Is located the city of Tangier. Spanish troops have fought the Moors for centuries, but It was only In 1912 that the northern littoral of Morocco was assigned to Spain under the terms of the Franco-Spanish treaty signed In that year. Since then Spain has been engaged at Intervals In sporadic attempts to maintain her authority, with varylflg success and failure. Want Mor Order. Both the French and Spanish gor ernments decided In January, 1920, to make military demonstrations In their respective rones for the purpose of preparing the way to more orderly government. The French zone was soon pacified. The Spanish territory, which Is administered by Gen. Damaso Berenguer as high commissioner, was not so submissive.' Spanish troops at first made their base on the Atlantic coast of Morocco at El-Arish, also known as Laralche. Prom there they penetrated well Into the Interior and captured a number of Moorish strongholds. Including the sonlled secret city of Sheshawan. For some time little activity has been reported in that western district of Morocco. The Spaidards, however, sent another expedition under the command of General Sllvestre, who established a base at MellJla, midway on a promontory which extends from the eastern end of the Spanish zone northward into the Mediterranean. From hat point, General Sllvestre's troops attempted to penetrate southward Into the Interior. Early successes were reported, hut last spring the Spaniards encountered strong native troops and hostile tribesmen, estimated to number O.Om ami said to be well armed and equipped with artillery. The present reverses of the Spanish forces had their beginning early In Tune. BOY DIES "STRETCHING NECK" Wanted to Grow Dig and Strong, and Tried Physical Culture Directions. Butte, Mont.

UEIHCl FOOD SHIP SAVES 18,000 BABES FROM STARVATION

Heroic Yankee Women Risk Ure to Rescue Children, in Serrice of Near East Relief Constantinople. How the prompt action of Charles V. Vickrey, General Secretary of the Near East Relief, and Harold C. Jaqulth, representative of that American relief organization in Constantinople, saved the lives of IS, 000 orphan children and seven American relief workers in Alexandropol, Armenia, is what all the representatives, of the Allied nations in Constantinople are applauding today. For five years the Near East Relief organization had built up a work of mercy throughout the former Turkish Empire and Transcaucasia, to a point where 54,600 little children were being housed, clothed, fed, given medical attendance and taught, and over 56,000 others being supplied with food. Then suddenly, on February 5, last, there came hurried cable reports of renewed fighting in Armenia, and Transcaucasia, where 75,818 of these little ones were located under the protection of the Near HELP! '.y ONE OF THE 18,000 East Relief. Consular representatives left the country. All foreigners piled onto : ship and fled. War threatened to scatter the work and render vain the long, patient efforts of the Near East Relief to salvage a whole nation's children. But the Americanmen and women who had cared for these little ones were undismayed. -They refused to leave under bombardment, with hostile arpies sweeping through the streets where the Near East Reliefs great orphanages had been established, with all supplies cut off and no communication with tho outside world, or with that far American homeland whose representatives these heroic men and women are, they stuck to their pojts. The last food from America had come in on November 6, 1920. It was not until four months later that tho new governments of the Transcaucasian states were established on a solid basis. But famine threatened. An appeal wus niado to American philanthropy : "Critical need for food products in Caucasus," the cable read. "No limit to need in Armenia. New government promises better facilities for relief activity than former government." A few days later, a further piteous plea followed: "Total orphans in Alexandropol 18,000. Supplies in Alexandropol allow half-rations, April 3rd to 30th. After Maylat, nothing." But this splendid American relief organization had not waited. Food was already on the way. On April 22, Charleg V. Vickrey, general secretary of the Near East Relief, cabled: "Expect ship first week in May: 1,000 tons rice; 1,000 tons wheat flour; 600 tons corn meal, corn flour, hominy; 30 tons sugar; 500 tons beans; 5,000 cases corn syrup, from New York and New Orleans direct to Batum. Additional 1.000 tons wheat flour from Pacific Coast June 1st." The seven American relief workers in charge of the 18,000 little ones in Alexandropol cabled a last appeal: "No food at any price. Four days more nd we are finished." But when the first relief ship "Quequen" entered the deserted harbor of Batum on May 1, there were just ten bags of flour left. The food ship had come in time. America had saved the day and the 18.000 little orphan children, who had suffered bo much and lost so much in their short, war-clouded lives, never knew that gaunt hunger in the robe of death had knocked at the doar of the orphanage at Alexandropol and that America had thrust the bony hand away. "It Is the great heart of Am- rica that made this work of salvation possible." Mr. Vickrey declared. "The money that sends the brend to the e children comes from ten nilllio: homes throughout the United States It comes from the hearts of the mos' generous people in the world, who cannot bear to know thai hilf a world away, little children are fa. i-.ip hunger and death, without htl.dn.T them to life and happiness.
