Archbishop Ireland's Tribute to the Red Cross. "The Red Cross Is the noblest of Institutions today, and we Americans all salute the Red Cross and than that noble institution for what it is doing and intends to do for our soldiers. They shall be on the glory field; they shall be in the trenches; they shall . cross the tempestuous waves of the ocean and much risk they run, but let them know that friends, fellow- ' Americans, are near at hand to staunch the wounds, should wounds come; to wipe the tear, should the eyelids grow moist. "Yes, America needs today the Red Cross. We need it to come to their rescue In all their needs. Kindness, charity, is the watchword of the Red Cross. It is highest patriotism. . 'Without the Red Cross poor and slender would be the care given by the governments, for the governments can only do little In the way of kindness and charity. Theirs is to command, to bid the soldiers go forward. Yours to follow the soldiers and do all you can to make their lot less severe, less trying."

Education to Be Better After War , War always has been associated with an interruption of the sciences and arts, but President A. T. Hadley of Yale University, takes the opposite view in his address before the Senior class. H believes that the courses of learning will have increased in usefulness for the country and

be more practical. He said:

"And in God's good providence we are going

to enperge from the war a better place of education ihan we were at the beginning not merely better because the' coming generation of stu-

dents will be more serious, but better because the

coming generation of professors

will be more practical. They will have had a lesson in adapting means to ends. I venture to hope that when we adjust our courses after the war's experience, we shall know how to make our courses more useful to the country in the best and fullest sense of the word usefulness." Education usually responds very slowly to the development that marks the life of a nation. The great war is of such stupendous magnitude that -even the conservative forces of education have been powerfully influenced and are forced to respend to the changed condition that will result. The observation of President Hadley is of in

They pleaded not guilty and were held in 125,000 bail each. WHEAT MARKET EASED BY CROP PROSPECTS CHICAGO, June 21. Improved crop prospects in the northwest together with free offerings in the southwest tended today to ease the wheat mark' et. Scantiness of stocks kept the July cption relatively firm. Opening prices which ranged from the same as yes terday's finish to one cent lower, were followed by a material downturn for September, but a slight gain for July, which, however, subsequently disap peared. Forecasts of unfavorable weather gave temporary strength to corn. Later bearish sentiment predominated owing to reports of continued rains in the territory southwest where a drought has been camplained of. After opening unchanged to B-8c off. the market scored a substalntlal advance and then sagged ail around, well be low yesterday's close.

For a War Government The wisdom of urging the formation of a war government by President Wilson is impressive. By discarding the party scheme, which prevents the selection of the best men in the country the president could organize a .government which would command confidence, and, we think, retain it. This is not a war government;. tThe men who manage or who are supposed to manage the country's affairs in this most difficult and dangerous period were not chosen for their pre-eminent ability in the work which they now have to do. The president may have been convinced, and may be convinced, that he selected able men of peculiar ability in the work he gave them, but he can hardly be convinced that he has the best men in the country, and he must be convinced that the country needs the best men. With regard to Secretary Daniels, it is certain that the country has small confidence in his ability to administer navy affairs. Daniels is an amiable man, energetic, and no doubt conscientious, but if he was not the man for the navy before the war, what possible opinion could be held of his fitness now? The government ought to utilize Theodore Roosevelt. The country must be inspired and its confidence must be strengthened. ' Roosevelt's worst enemies will concede that he has a dynamic effect upon morale. He knows how to develop enthusiasm. He also is an executive. He knows the navy. We are not selecting places for the colonel, but we know that he ought to be used and if he succeeds Daniels it would be known that the government had but one intent, and that to win the war. Great Britain could not conduct the war upon party lines, and did not try to do so very long. It could not conduct the war without the aid of its best men, and the process of elimination went on, regardless of party and personality, until men were fitted in where (they belonged. We shall be forced to do the same thing, we believe, and the wisdom of doing it early seems undeniable. Chicago Tribune.

Jackies With Atlantic Fleet Enjoy Selves on Huge Playground

WITH THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. June 21. It Is two bells in the afternoon watch when the shrill trill of the bos'ns' whistles are heard piping the crews of the mighty dreadnoughts to the tails and the sing-song cries of the bos'n's mates carry out over the wa ter. "Liberty party to muster." This is the summons given three times each week to the men of the Atlantic Fleet to take their hours of recreation on the Immense athletic field provided for them by the Navy league. By the hundreds. On every battleship and cruiser, the youthful. white uniformed Jackies come rushing on deck to form into line for the lib erty Inspection. Two long white lines form on deck and every man stands rigidly at at tention while officers pass along mark ing the appearance of each one. Their uniforms are spotlessly white. Their shoes freshly blackened. Off come their little round white caps to show that their hair is closely cropped. All Are Youthful. No visitor-to the Fleet fails to be struck, when he views that line at inspection, with the extreme youth of the men, their intelligent faces and happy, smart appearance. The average age appears to be less than twenty years and many of them seem barely to have passed, their, eighteenth birthday on the date of their enlistment. From every state in the Union they hail and thousands of them from the farms of the middle West. A collection certainly of America's finest gathered on the deck of a floating fortress to form the first line of the nation's defense. On every sun tanned face is worn a broad smile in expectation of the sport that the afternoon wiU bring. Over the rail, the visitor sees the thip's launches bobbing about In the seaway with the bowmen holding fast to the ship's side with their boathooks. Then the sharp word of command rings out on deck and the white line of sailors begins to move forward the gangway and the men go over the side to the waiting launches. Discipline Gives Way Discipline begins to give way a little at this point, although the coxswain of the boat is all business as he calls to the bowmen to shove off. The afternoon's recreation has begun. Thousands of superfluously healthy, absolutely carefree and very young men are turned loose. To be sure there is the provost guard with their policemen's sticks, but that is only to guard against the chance Of ugly blood developing from the fun, which does not happen. When the dock at the athletic field is reached the men from the launches tumble out pell men and Immediately begin a raid upon the canteen. Pop is sold faster than corks can be pulled. The man who gets anything over the canteen counter fights for-it. You must come with your change ready or go without. There is too much business to stop to change money. A pump receives the overflow from the canteen and those who have been unable to spend their money for candy or pop take their chances on getting ducked under the pump. A farmer drives onto the field with a load cf watermelons. At fifty cents apiece his watermelons last about fifty seconds. -;35: "Up To His Ears.":: ,. A colored cook's helper buys a melon and dives into it when a huge hand belonging to a Jackie from an Indiana farm buries the darky's face into the melon up to his ears. Another enterprising farmer brings some old farm nags on the field to hire them out (All articles for this column must not exceed 300 words. Contributors must sign their names, although the name will be withheld by the management at the request of the writer. Articles having no name attached will he thrown into the waste basket.) To Our City School Board: Gentlemen As you have now had ample time to learn that It is not only the wish, but the firm Intention of a large majority of our citizens to have the unmerited wrong you have inflict ed on a faithful and efficient teacher properly adjusted by re-instating Prof. D. D. Ramsey as Principal and play ground director in the Whitewater school, this is to inform you that un less this Is done within a few days, it is the intention of over one thousand (and It can easily be swelled to live thousand) of our most substantial citizens, including bankers, merchants. manufacturers with their hundreds of employes, churches, -Sunday-Bchool teachers, and many others who have notified the friend3 of Mr. Ramsey that they wiBh to sign, with more than one thousand who have already put their names to petitions urging his prompt re-instatement; we say It Is the intention to take the recent blunders of Giles, Pickell and the school board before the city council, since, as said council has the power to make (appoint) the school board, they can also "un-make it and promptly place men of more discretion In the plaoea you now occupy. You would have no cause for scor ing our city papers, had you not laid yourselves so widely open for critic cism in your hasty and Ill-advised movements. So, we want to tell you that all friends of good government in our city schools and a "Square Deal" toward all of the teachers and pupils are proud of our fearless City Press for having the manhood to expose the stupidly blundering management you have recently displayed, as school officials, . One petition from the Whitewater district carries nearly Ave hundred names, all urging the retention of Prof, Ramsey as Principal and playground director in their district, This certainly speaks very highly . for. bis work and merits In that section of our city, a fact which . no able and fairminded superintendent or school board can affofd to ignore, We do net wonder that Miss Hill resigned from the school beard, for what could any lone weman do against such autocratic men as Giles, Johnston and Reid, ' with Brigadier-General Melpolder bringing up the rear? While the city may not soon entire-

The Forum

for "gentlemen's mounts", to the sailors. Oblvously the horses are. about as used to their saddles as a hog is to work. But they are hired by the sailors at any price the farmer asks. A lad hailing from Maine takes his first chance on horseback and elides down the horse's neck. -, His shipmate yells at him, "Go aft, you tool, go aft." The thousands of Jackies swarm over the field. Hundreds of them break and run for the beach for a swim. A crowd of them gather at target practice with small rifles. Six of the ten baseball diamonds are prdmptly put into use by scrub teams. - - And then more launches from the battleships come In bringing the starbaseball teams from four of the bat tleships. A double-header is to be played between four of the best teams of the Fleet in a series to determine the Fleet championship. The grand stands fill rapidly and soon they are a swelling sea of white suits and red and brown faces as the sailors cheer their ship's teams on to victory. Play Good Ball. Rattling good baU is played by these navy teams. The nine men on the diamond represent the pick of a thousand from a battleship and they play with the Interest and a good bit of the money of the whole crew backing them. They train and work for months for a championship series like this. It is the liberality of private American citizens that has given these men of the Fleet their big athletic field. When the war came on the Fleet lost the income It usually had for Its athletic fund from the Guantanamo canteen and the Navy League of the United. States offered to lay out a field for the men of the fleet. In. all about 115 acres have been obtained. The ground has been leveled, ploughed and prepared. Ten baseball diamonds have been laid out Docks were built at the water's edge. A. bothmg beach was cleared. The officers of the Fleet also were provided with tennis courts and a golf course. Every sort of sport is found there. The result Is that every man on the Fleet has plenty of health outdoor sport and the officers of the Fleet say that this provision for their recreation has done much to provide "happy ships" in the. Fleet as it waits for the opportunity to strike a blow at the Huns in defense of civilization and freedom.

ly forget these blunders, yet for the sake of the future harmonious relationship which we all ardently desire to have established between all of our school officials, teachers and pupils, It is probable that the past will be buried and your official positions left undisturbed If you promptly re-lnBtate Mr. Ramsey as hereby suggested, but surely not otherwise, so this is your "shortest road out of the woods!" Therefore, If you wish to please the people whom you have been called to SERVE, you will see that the wishes of so many people are heeded. As.it would take nearly a whole page in our city dailies to hold all the names already signed to the papers urging the re-instatement of Prof. Ramsey, they cannot be printed, but they are on file and can be seen at any time.. So we say to you, Gentlemen, this, is RICHMOND'S ULTIMATUM TO YOU! . DR. JAMES CHARLES. Richmond, Ind., June 20, 1917. Editor of the Palladium: Sir You have seen it to connect me with the non-re-employment of Mr. Ramsey as principal of Whitewater school. Upon the presumption that you will play fair, I want to make a request of you. Will you state definitely and not merely by implication, that John Melpolder, general secretary of the Social Service Bureau of Wayne County, Indiana, was responsible in any way, either directly or indirectly, or both. for the non-re-employment by the Richmond school management, Board or Superintendent, or both, of Mr. D. D. Ramsey as principal of Whitewater school? Of course, you have not published all that you did publish about my connection with this affair without having in your possession conclusive evidence of my guilt. You would not wantonly do any man even Melpolder a grave injustice. Surely not With this evidence, then, in your possession which I am not now asking you to disclose, unless you choose to do so you certainly will not object to make a simple, unqualified, straightforward statement that Melpolder is in some way responsible for the non-le-employment of Mr. Ramsey. I ask you to do this in the light of what I read in your issue of Tuesday, June the 19th. In the editorial headed "Elliott's Reply," I read the statement which I quote herewith: "Americans do not like gumshoe methods end pussyfoot tactics. Play the game above board where all of us can see the cards." JOHN MELPOLDER. THOUGHT8 TO THINK ABOUT Be a thinker! Thinker!! Thinker! ! ! You can't see things well through other people's eyeglasses.

PALLADIUM WANT AD8 PAY Today's Aid to Beauty Hair is by far the most conspicu ous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or care less treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we .will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all .dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling expense by simply dissolving a teaspoonful of cantbrox (which you can get at any druggists) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair Instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fluf fines s which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After a canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure. Adv. "In Business For

Unrest in Germany Follows America's Entrance Into Var PARIS, June 21 Jules Cambon, gen-' eral secretary of the mlnlstery of foreign affairs, declared the entrance of America Into the war bad caused serious unrest in Germany In the course of an Interview with a correspondent of The Associated Prose today. He said: "In the hearts of the French people who welcomed General Pershing there waa first of all. the desire to reply to the enthusiastic reception which the American people gave the French delegates, but there waa also something else equally Important "Some unrest was caused In Germany by entrance into the struggle of a country which brings to the allies, together with its entire strength, a freshness and ardor which have not been diminished by three years of war. Germany feels that the Americans once engaged in the straggle, win not give up. It is to prevent this cementing of close ties that tt la multiplying its efforts to spread dissension among the allies. "The Incident of the Swiss socialist Grimm's intrigue la Russia reveals Germany's handwork and is one of the straws showing how uneasy and troubled Berlin is because of America. In France everyone realizes that this uneasiness and fear are Justified.

I Clear, Peachy Skin Awaits Anyone Who I Drinks Hot Water! Says an Inside bath, before breakfast helps us look and feel clean, sweet, fresh. T i Sparkling and vivacious merry, bright, alert a good, clear skin and a natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. If only every man and woman could be In duced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men. women and girls, with pasty or muddy complexions; Instead of the multitudes of "nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain fags" and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked people everywhere. An Inside bath Is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's Indigestible waste, sour fermentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Those subject to sick headache, biliousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance, awaiting those who practice internal sanitation. We must remember that inside cleanliness is more Important than outside, because the skin does not absorb Impurities to contaminate the blood while the nores in the thirty feet of bowels do. X? O J !
