V British schooner, torpedoed by Germans, afire at sea. This picture was taken when a British schooner, torpedoed by a German U-boat, burst into flames and slowly sank in mid-ocean. A similar scene was probably enacted when the American tank steamer Moreni enpaged in a two-hour running fight with a U-boat. The Moreni battled desperately with the submarine and was only abandoned after the entire fihip was ablaze and the guns out of commission.

TTMIS' BUREAU AT STATS CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 20. Indiana Democrats will have another new state chairman very soon. Charles A. Greathouse, the present state chairman, has been appointed a member of the Federal commission that will administer the national vocational education law, and the Senate confirmed his appointment yesterday alternoon. Greathouse was elected state chairman less than a month ago to succeed Bernard Korbly, who resigned, and the very . next day after he was elected Greathouse received word that President "Wilson had decided to give him the Federal appointment., which pays $3,000 a year. The salary Is not a serious object to Greathouse, however, for he is a wealthy man, owning hundreds of acres of the best corn land in Posey county and on Islands In the "Wabash river at its junction with the Ohio. N It Is presumed that the duties of his new position will require Greathouse to spend most of his time at "Washington, and he could not continue as state chairman. Besides. It is reported that there was an understanding of some kind that he would resign the chairmanship in case of his taking the new Job. There Is considerable speculation as to his successor, but the big finger seems to be pointing toward "Walter S. Chambers of Newcastle, although Chambers has said that he would not take the chairmanship. James R. Fleming of Portland, who was a candidate for the place when It was given to Greathouse, has decided that he does not want It, and he so Stated to friends in this city. He says he is going to stick to business and try to make a little money for Jim Fleming. Others mentioned are Dale J. Crittenberger of Anderson; W. H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg and possibly one or two others, but the whole business is up In the air. Greathouse has Just moved the Democratic state headquarters to the JJenison hotel. In a tine suite of rooms.

He has appointed Robert Adams of this city as assistant secretary of the state committee, but he has not appointed a secretary. Adams is a son of Andy Adams, formerly of Columbia City and formerly a judge of the Appellate court, but who now lives In New York. TIMES1 BC RE ATT AT STATE CAPITA I INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July IS. The "Woman's Franchise League of Indiana will perfect Its organization throughout the state, looking', for the present, toward a possible special session of the legislature which may call for a referendum vote on whether or not there shall be a new constitution. This is the substance of the reconstructed program of the franchise league, announced following the decision of the supreme court, which held the constitutional convention law invalid. For the past three months the Franchise league has had a mushroom growth. fnder the presidency of Mrs. Richard E. Edwards of Peru, with three organizers in the field, and with partial suffrage to be used as aspur to further efforts, the number of branch leagues has been increased from 85 to 191. The effort which has been made in urging registration for the special election in September, which will not now be held, will be used to gather up the loose ends of organization, to make a perfected, smoothly working whole of the league. Vith the election of Mrs. O. F. Guldin of Fort Wayne, as chairman of the Twelfth district, the Franchise league has, for the first time in its history, a chairman in every district. At state headquarters, 816 Odd Fellows building, this city, a close record of organization work is always ready for reference. It is known, for instance, that in Marshall county there are twelve branch leagues; In Wabash county, ten, and so on. Each county is kept on record In this manner. In event that there should be no

That Canada has gained not only fcationhood and consciousness of national strength from her participation in the war, but is also aiming at a western British Empire, second in size only to Russia and with a range of climate and a variety of products to rival the United States, is the opinion of a writer in By-Water magazine published in Montreal, urging Canadians to study the trade future of Canada in the West Indies. The Greater Canada of which he writes, would include all the British possessions of the western hemisphere. England is said to regard this formation of a new "imperial unit" with favor, as a measure of protection to her outlying possessions in the scheme of Imperial federation which is being freely discussed in London. Canada has earned the right to consideration in any plan affecting the empire, or her future trade development. The West Indies are favorable to such a union, even if it should be, in the end, no more than a customs union, for the political protec

tion it will afford in the scramble for trade after the war, and because it offers them a preferential market for their products and the entrance duty-free of Canadian wheat, vegetables and manufactured articles. Lt. Col. John S. Dennis, who has had a great part in the national development of Canada, says: "Expansion of Canadian trade will go hand-in-hand with expansion of Canadian industry, and Canada with her vast wealth of natural resources must become a powerful factor in world trade." There has rlways been a close feeling of relationship between Canada and the West Indies. Halifax: has had direct cable communication with the West Indies for many years, and since 1880 one of the important divisions of the Canada Steamship Lines, Limited, has operated a good-sized fleet of steamers in the trade. It is said the Canadian government is considering offering a subsidy to encourage the building of a merchant marine, with an eye to the Bermuda trade.

special session of the legislature and no new Constitution, the Franchise lpague has one more Iron in the fire. This is the full suffrage amendment to tho Constitution which was approved by the last legislature and which must be approved by the next legislature and then approved by the people at an election before it becomes effective. This amendment was urged because the women believed it wise not to place too much faith In the validity of the constitutional convention law. The Franchise league will place great emphasis on registration of women to vote at the city elections this fall. This campaign will Je pushed with great vigor. The women point out that with many men leaving for the war front great political responsibilities will devolve on the wc men, "and that they must be prepared to take up those duties and responsibilities. There never was a time, they say, when lt was more Important for women to understand and to undertake th serious duties of citizenship. :

RAILROAD

SITUATION

Although the handling of freight 'is showing Increased efficiency from .month to mi-'-th, the Rail-a.y Age Gazette predicts another big car shortage this fall, due to the rapid increase of railway traffic. "The statistics now available demonstrate that the reduction of the net car shortage from 14S.627 cars on May 1, to 105.127 on June 1, or about 30 per cent, was due to increased efficiency in railway operation because they show that it was accomplished in spite of a large increase in freight traffic in May," says the Railway Age Gazette-

Freight revenues increased 10.14 per cent, in May as compared with April. The editorial continues, commenting on this phase: "This increase in freight revenue indicates a corresponding increase in the total amount of freight carried, and is the best possible evidence of the result being gained from the work of the railroad war board and its

subcommittee, the commission on car service. "With railway traffic continuing to increase at the rate it is, it Is evident that even though the railways and shippers use the transportation facilities available to the best purpose possible, there probably will be another big car5 shortage and- acute congestion this fall."

For the dressy skirt that is used for any of the semi-formal occasions of midsummer there is nothing more graceful than a draped skirt. ' The one selected for this purpose, No. 8,374, is prettily draped and yet it has straight lines. This effect is I ained by the cut of the right gore, which laps over the left and gives the cascade effect. The skirt is gathered all around to the tJightly' raised waist line. The skirt has three gores. It is a spln. model for materials such as taffeta, charmeuse, satin, silk,' poplin, foulard ats4 faille. . The skirt pattern. No. 8,374, is cut in five sizes 24 to 32 inches waist measure. .Width at lower edge of skirt is 2V6 yards. The 24 inch size requires 3"s yards 36 inch material, with 4ys yards banding. To obtain this pattern send ten cents to the office of this publication.
