' He read a letter from the committee's chairman, Edward M. Wistar, which said that the Indian problem is not solved and will not be for some years. Indians often fall into the aanaa ox unscrupulous nan . uwru and are taught to gamble and drink whiskey. . v There are 330,000 Indians In the United States and of this number, 117,000 are in Oklahoma where the missions are established. The population is slowly increasing. The Indian is In a stage of transition, said Mr. Hartley and is being allotted lands with less restrictions. They are passing from paganism and from tribal relationship into common citizenryMany, however, he said are still pagans. : The Indiana Yearly Meeting at its first session In 1821, Mr. Hartley emphasized, appropriated a sum of money for the assistance of the red race and has always been active in helping them. Though much had been accomplished by the Friends this past year, the finances of the committee must be increased. Russell Ratliff, a graduate of Earlham college, has been appointed as principal of Southland college in the place of Herschel J. Folger, according to the report of the Missionary board of the college-which was read and approved. It was suggested in the report that Harold Lin die y be made an additional member of the board for one year to assist the-cpr-responding secretary. The representatives also approved this recommendation. MisS Roberta Jones replaces Miss Ethel Shelley. The following members terms expired this year: Alonzo M. Gardner, Clayton S. Wright and Eunice Kelsay. The request contained in the report that the same appropriation be given by the meeting was referred to the finance committee. Edward Beilia, for 20 years, corresponding secretary of the board, and Herschel Folger, for 5 years ''principal ef the school, delivered addresses pointing out sthe "value of Southland college. 4 ' 'I Their remarks and "an Interesting letter written by Anna B. WOlford, matron of the institution, who was un able to attend the yearly meeting which was read to the representatives, all formed an earnest appeal for, further help. - The .report showed that the college felt the shock of the reduction of $2, 600 In cash tuition which was lost as a result of the effect of the European war upon the South and that the enrollment was two-thirds that of last year. Donations were received from Richmond, Fountain City, Economy, Webster and Lynn from individual Friends and from organizations. Total cash donations amounted to $328. .

FIDS SHAKE OFF "FOGYISrr FOR NEW WJ

"The old fogylsm of Quakerism, the old traditions that are merely traditions are passing away from the Society of Friends. Our church has lived the life of Rip Van Winkle long enough and when we look at other churches we can say; 'We have been asleep for twenty years.' Now - is the time for the awakening." Rev. Alfred Young of Canada, who la attending the Indiana yearly meeting, was earnest in bis plea, in a sermon at the East Main Street Friends' church last night, that new methods be substituted for the old ways. 'The true spirit that dominated George. Fox and our forefathera will always stand for Quakerism," he said, "but if we rightly interpret the word of God, it means progress." Approximately 250 people attended the service last night. The-singing of hymns by the congregation and selections by the quartet preceded the sermon of Rev. Toung. Rev. Mllo Hinckle, pastor of the church, presided. Rev. Young said in part: "Don't be afraid of the new revelations of truth. God is quite capable of caring for his truth. Stagnation of individuals or churches means death. "If the church neglects to take hold of new truths there is no alternative but death. When a spiritual blindness takes place it means decay." DELL DEFENSE SCORES POINT INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 22. At today's' session of the trial of Mayor Bell on charges of election : conspiracy John Kitley, county commissioner, testified that he had no conversation with the mayor previous to the Democratic contest for county chairman in which Fred Barrett was victorious, and had not talked with Mayor Bell regarding the candidacy of James Kervin. Kitley testified to a visit to his house by Mayor Bell and Thomas Taggart with references to the naming of the-election Inspectors at which the mayor did most of the talking, Taggart remaining silent. rn his - testimony Kitley said Bell remarked ''All we want is what is fair. We want good honest Inspectors and that is all we want." SUBMERGED PILING BLAMED FOR LOSS OF EASTLAND SHIP ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 22. That the steamer Eastland disaster in Chicago in July was caused by submerged piling that had been left in the Chicago river by the builders of a tunnel several years ago, and that the vessel did not overturn because it was unstable or unsafe, was the declaration here of Edwin F. Sweet, assistant secretary of commerce. He asserted that this new evidence bearing on the tragedy that cost 1,000 lives, was discovered by the steamship line operating the Eastland, and that it had been communicated to Secretary Redfield and President Wilson. He said, too, that the evidence would figure In the report of the federal, grand jury in Chicago and that it would nullify any prosecution of individuals for alleged responsibility for the tragedy. OLD SOLDIER DIGS HIS OWN GRAVE BERLIN, Sept. 22. Capt. H. Rohrmeier of the 141st reserves infantry regiment writes from the front in the Champagne: ."After a thunderstorm I took a walk behind our lines, to dry my uniform On my , body. I visited a small cemetery where many of our soldiers are burled. In the little graveyard I found the chaplain of our regiment saying prayers over the body of a very young hussar. Four old landsturmers were silently digging a, grave. "After the hussar was hurried the chaplain begged the landsturmers to dig a reserve grave, but only one of them consented and went to work again. He was a small farmer from Baden and the father of a large family. While he worked he told me that he had three sons at the front and two of them had already earned the iron cross. 'Some jolly young fellow will soon be In the ditch that I have made,' he said sadly, after he had finished his job. "The next morning I came to the cemetery again. Ten or twelve sold iers were standing around the new grave In silent prayer while the chaplain pronounced a benediction. When I stepped nearer I saw that the body which had just been lowered into the .earth was that of my landsturmer. The poor man had dug hia own grave. During the night a French shell had torn him to pieces." " DIVORCE GRANTED - On a charge of cruel and inhuman treatment and failure to provide, Alice McLear was granted - a divorce by Special Judge comstock from Douglas McLear. v Experiments by a British expert of re-foresting some of the hills of China have led to the establishment of a comprehensive course in forestry in a university in that country.

UN CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT FOR SOLID HOUR WASHINGTON, Sept 22. For the first time since he relinquished his post as premier of the cabinet, William Jennings Bryan visited the white house today. He was closeted with President Wilson for nearly an hour and officials generally regarded the meeting as one of the most Important since the president assumed office because of the effect it may have on his political fortunes. Bryan insisted, however, that there was no significance in his call, but that he had "simply paid bis respects prior to leaving for Florida tonight." Despite the official attitude it was generally accepted that the real object of Bryan's call was to find out what the president had in mind to recommend to congress on the subject of war preparedness. Bryan refused to discuss his visit. "I cannot discuss a conference with the president," he said. "Anyhow I was . there to pay my respects and I had a pleasant visit." CZAR CLAIMS . GERMANS HELD BACK DY ARMY PETROGRAD, " Sept. 22. General RuzBky is firmly holding back the German left wing on the Dvina front; General Evert's army is successfully continuing its retrograde movement from the Vilna front toward Minsk, inflicting heavy losses on the pursuing enemy; General Ivantoff's troops are gaining ground against the Teutonic right wing,' composed of AUstro-Ger-man forces, at Volhynia and Galicia. Taken all in all, the positions of the three great Russian armies are highly favorable. This summary of the military situation was given to the International News Service today by a high official ofthe Russian war office, .it the same time he expressed the belief that the German offensive on the front between the Baltic and the Pripet marshes was nearing its end. To corroborate this belief, he cited information which has reached the war office to the &ect that three German corps which had recently figured in the fighting, had disappeared from the front "It Is probable that these troops have been transferred to the Servian front," he said. "The Germans apparently fear to entrust the Austrian army again with the task of conducting an invasion of Servia. This time it is the Prussian soldiers who will be hurled against our brave ally. They will encounter a surprise." The official confirmed reports that reached here yesterday that General Everts' army has extricated itself from the German enveloping movement of von Hindenburg and Prince Leopold. "The German efforts to surround a large part of . our . forces resulted in complete failure," he asserted. "The Bavarians suffered terrific losses in their advance south of Slonin. This halted Prince Leopold until he could I eceive reinforcements and when these arrived the German time table had been completely upset. "The Russian armies are Intact. Their morale is unimpaired. .It is a characteristic of the Russian soldier that he fights well on retreat as well as on the advance. Never has this characteristic shown in larger measure than in our recent campaign of steady withdrawal." , I, ,1 MONUMENT FOR HINDENBURG IN CARINTHIAN ALPS INNSBRUCK. Sept. 22.
