AMERICAN ALLIANCE IS CONCEIVED Continued from pace one.) there will be settled here. doi; VI M. 1M TV. "Indiana is doing hor full duty in this war. She will continue to do so. The task is so great the magnitvd sometimes overwhelms us, but the response of the people Is as gratifying as the responsibility is great and we ask that county councils continue to aid, and that th newspapers continue to aid, as all have aided, to the end that in this state every glnsrle possible thing may be dene which goes in any way toward helping to win the victory which is absolutely vital for the oountry'B future. Lot us make it clear to those in Washington, who are carrying the. suj rente burden, that there is no place in the nation where more loyal or complete support will come than from Indiana. "It may be there is a little danger at this time of a lessening of our igor because of the first drive in this regard having been rather concluded. and for that very reason we think it is especially important now that there be instituted in every community a vigorous campaign, by speaking and otherwise, to put a real punch in our patriotism. The speakers' bureau is in full bperation, under th direction of Prof. J. J. Pettijohn of Indiana university, and speakers will be provided for all the meetings that can be organized. Also, we want volunteers to offer their services and pay their own expenses, to make these speeches. The names of men who are willing to be used in this service should be sent to Prof. J. J. Tettijohn. care of the State Council of Defense, Room 83, r State House. Indianapolis. "We urge that you take steps at once, if in your Judgment ft is at all necessary in your community (and we think It Is desirabl every place), to institute this campaign, and have these meetings and speeches, all to the end that the people may understand why we are in the war. and the absolute recti-.ude of our position, and bring- to the government the very fullest, unqualified and enthusiastic support In

everything; that is done in the war work." The State Council of Defense has. on behalf of the educational institutions of the atate, promtsed the War Department that Indiana will' supply 900 telegraph operators and other electrical experts. The army is very short of these lines, and it is appealing to the various states to afford relief. Schools in most of the cities of the state will be asked to begin at once a course of Instruction for telegraphers.

Government supervision of steel producing plants of the country, manufacturers to be-paid for their product during the period of thewar on a cost p:ts profit basis, is declared tonight to be the recommendation cf the federal trade commission to President AVilson in its report on the cost of steel production. That the trade commission has completed Its Investigation was asserted authoritatively. It also was declared that the commission had been unable to recommend a uniform price to be paid by the government for steel because of a great variance of producing conditions in different sections and plants. Similar to Coal Plan. Details of the commission's report, of If you this or 1L

course, are not available, but the basic principles of the suggestion for solution of steel price difficulties is said to be government supervision alon the line of the original suggestion made to congress regarding coal. With regard to coal the commission recommendtd that products of the mines be rooled in the

i hands of the government. Members of the trade commis.'ion are said to have concluded that a uniform price for steel would force some plants to shut down unless the price Is high enough to make the highest cut steel plant profitable. Such a price, it is argued, would be unfair to the government and unfair to tha public in the present crisis. "Wisest Solution." For these reasons, the commission is of the mind that pooling of steel production in the hands of the government, whereby the government may determine actual costs at all times at each plant and pay for the rroduet accordingly, is the wisest and most workable solution of present difficulties. enlisted re HIVE PRIVATE CLUB TIMES ETJHEAU, AT STATE CAPITA!..
