"s a superior Kultur. e have no doubt that a defeat of our people would retard by centuries the development of mankind. On the other hand, we hope, by the victory of our arms, to bring: about a new efflorescence of humanity through the German nature which will prove Itself fruitful of blessir.ers for other nations as well.' Dr. Paul Conlad. Stark In dom Horrn, (1915). "'Germany is new about to become, mentally and morally, the fiiKt nation in the world, scienoe. Intelligence, morality, art. and reiig-ion. In, the entire domain cf the Inner life The world shall on'-e agrain be healed by the Oerman srlrit: that shall be no empty I'hragft for up. All the deep things

purity, conscience, the sense of duty, activity on a moral basit. inward riches, Intellect, industry, and so forth no other nation poetesses ell these thing; In sucli hiKh perfection as we do. And because It la so. because Germany Is the leader in the entire domain of intellect, character and sou! and in the end the world's judgment depends on these things because Germany is thus more and more becomjna- the renter of the world, therefore our neighbor look upon it askance and with envy. Thus this war is a war of envy and Jealousy of Germany !, leadership. It Is a fisht of hounds against a noble quarry." Tastor V. Ihmann. Von Heutschen Gott, C191S).

Busy fingers, everywhere! The yarn manufacturers have never Experienced such a tremendous demand for their product, even in th balmiest days when proficiency with knitting needlea was more than a qualifying? virtue la tho society of our greatErandmothers. Today the necessity for universal skill la greater than in those other days which have left us so many beautiful pieces of handiwork as heirlooms: millions of boys in khaki and blue are clamoring: for the warm, worsted garments which the Red Cross Is collecting: from almost every household in tho land, and as winter approaches, the demand increases daily. Is it any wonder that women are winning their fight for suffrage? Milady no longer gazes languidly through the plat windows of her softly-cushioned limousine as she rolis down tlje avenue. She is busily occupied with her knitting needles, so engrossed with the new work of mercy that he seldom looks up when the traffic policeman semaphores her rar to a sudden halt. Downtown, In h-r husband's factory, the girls are staying a half-hour overtime each day to make these same standardized socks, helmets, wristlets, and sweaters, and soma of them may be seen on the street cars and in the subway on their way home, still knitting. It is the same everywhere, at the fashionable resorts and on the farms. Every community has been touched and is responding nobly through its local organizations. The moving picture folk pictured above are "knitting their bit." too. Xot lor.g ago thev formed a knittinK circle out at ,tho Triangle etudioa in Culver

T1MKS niRKAl, AT STATK CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS. Pec. ; i. Publica

tion of the story In a Chicago paper of the talk about Will H. IIay., chairman of the republican state committee and chairman of the state .-mmcM of defense, for republican national committee chairman, did not. come as a surprise, for it has tx-n talked in this state fcr several months anl reference tt th probability of appointment has been mentioned in these di. patches. For a long time friend, and admirers of Mr. Hays have p. inted inn out as

being the most ava iahle man in the country for the national chairmanship, because ofhi bioad experience in political affairs and his reputation as a political organizer. No other state in the union has a more thorough republican organization than Indiana, and it has all come about since Mr Hays became stat . .''airman. This casts no reflection on former state chairmen, but they did not have the per-ullar and trying situation to deal with that has confronted Hays 1n the two campaigns in which he has led the Indiana republicans. It is under his leadership that the republican party in Indiana has been thoroughly reorganized ajid cemented together since the break occurred in 1912. He has ma.ntaind a friendly at-

i fitiide toward those republicans who ! affiliated with the progressive party in

1911, and this attitude on his part has been responsible for hi success in bringing: about a new alignment. He worked day and night month after month on this tack, and in the most diplomatic but effective manner he brought the elements together once more and made them into a solid party. His ability as tn organizer r.as attracted the attention of politicians throughout the country, and newspapers and magaslnes have published many articles about him and his work.

So complete has been his work along-

tli'.s line that the republican patty in

IL I Indiana, never was In as good shapo as it is tuda;. ijmiijio; I Joixf i ieh, iiairman Hays. Albert J. Keve ridge, James A. Hemenway, James K. Watson, Harry S. New and ail of the other statu !adrs of former day are once again "playing ball" together. While some pereun.i may regard this as a aomewhat remarkable lineup, because of the various old conflicting elements represented in it, yet it i. additional evidence of th clvr and effective work that has been done in the direction of remaking and re-forming the party in Indiana. While in some states the old factions may still be scrapping, there is not any new scrap among the old Indiana republican factions. Governor Goodrich has done his part, also, in this work, a ion? with Chairman Hays, through recognition of no factional line; in the party when it comes to picU.ng men for important state offices and positions. For instance, just recently he picked Paul Hsviips of Anders on, for member of the state pu t'.- net commission. Haynes was secretary of the pi"gres-i-ive stHt." O'liimir:. r ,:i lf!t. Ai.il oniv past wfrk the govern. r appointed W. A. Koeoh, better kio ivn a? "1 aeon," of Delphi, as secretary of state. Roa-'h

is one of th- old-!. tn- rock-ribbed t epublicans who represents the oth'-r element. There Is another sne'e n the present Situation in Tnd!ana also that has been pretty widely discussed, and that is that there is n strong sentiment n favor of the nomination of Governor Goodrich for president In 1920. Indiana would fare pretty well. if Mr. Have were ejected national chairman and the governor were -nominated for president. Indiana republicans, at least, are willin to admit that it would be a hard-to-beat combination.

In a statement which he made lately in regard to Ann Pennington's newest Paramount picture, director Edward Dillion said: "The picture will give Miss Penninston opportunities to wear some stunning gowns and an especially chic bathing costume in the swimming smenes. She will also have a chance to display her prowess at high diving and dancing. There is a big comedy element, and from what I have seen of her work so far, I believe Miss Pennington will surprise even those who have admired her previous work on the screen." Ann Pennington, noted dancer of the Ziegfeld Follies, will appear in "The Antics of Ann'' at the Pe Luxe Theatre Christmas.

INTRODUCING Vivian Reed, costar with Eddie Tolo in the ne-,v serial of Western life, "The

Bull's Eye," the first episode of which is abotit to be released in theatres throughout the Unitd States and Canada. Miss Reed is twenty-four, was bom in Chicago, and received her education there. About five years ago she went on the stage, but soon abandoned the spoken drama for motion pictures, and during the past three years has appeared with great success as a featured player in "The Tempta

tion ot Adam," " j he Princess of i Patches," "Lost and Found,"' and! other pictures. Miss Reed has cornel through her first experience as a se-j

rial heroine with flying colors. In the first place, she is an actress, not just a poser before thei camera. Moreover, she is pretty, which never hurts any girl in the movies, has an abundance of nerve, and is a tireless worker. Here, indeed, is your serial queen, and her directors predict that her work in "The Bull's Eye" will raise h'-r to the highest pinnacle of popularity. AND SOLD! " As an auctioneer Montagu Love is a very fine motion picture actor. At a recent "smokes for soldiers" affair Mr. Love w as trying to sell a large basket of fruit, and not being able to pet an offer from the audience started the bid himself with $5. This aroused a spirit of rivalry in the breast of an intoxicated gentleman, who raised the bid to ten, whereupon Mr. Love said fifteen and his competitor went to

twenty. 1 ne auctioneer, surmising that his inebriated friend would go on indefinitely, tilted the price gradually

until it reached $40. At this point his bidder went sound asleep and left tho basket of fruit on the auctioneer's hands at a rather fancy but selfimposed figure. THE KNITTING' CRAZE "1 understand," said Mae Murray, the other day, "that now all the picture actors, as. well as the picture actresses will have to knit in their leisure moments in the studio. Of course, the fascination of it will get them., and won't it be just too fur.ny to sea Bill Hart grinding his teeth id a close-up while his hands are peacefully knitting? And Doug Fairbanks
