OBSERVE RILEY DAY IS APPEAL
OFJRJLLIS "Neighborly A p p e a 1" to
Churches and Schools Is sued by Superintendent.
Wayne county schools and churches are asked to observe the birthday of
James Whitcomb Riley, Sunday, Oct
' 7, in a "neighborly appeal" Issued by State Superintendent of Instruction
Ellis. Dr. Ellis' appeal follows:
"Like the peal of a distant convent
bell: like the tender whisperings of
the leaves or the solemn sough of the forest; like the echo of a flute note across the lake at twilight, come, out of the recesses of the recent past, the
memories of our poet-laureate, James
Whitcomb Riley. As heaven's last best gift to Indiana, the neighborly
people of this great commonwealth adore the name of Riley and hail the
recurrence of his birth anniversary
with a Joy almost transcendent. Not
because he saw more clearly than
others the frailties of his neighbors and he mirthfully and mercilessly noted these not because he drew bril
liantly wise conclusions from his ex
periences with the ordinary folks of
his day though he constantly crystallzed pioneer experiences into epigrams of abiding value 'And it's the man that does his best Who gets more kicks than all the rest.' but because of a boundless love for all mankind, and an affection for children unprecedented, a sympathy for the distressed whatever the .cause, this was the character trait our Hoosier singer possessed in bountiful measure. Like little grains of gold on the mountainside, of themselves not particularly valuable, indicate unerringly the nearby storehouse of mineral riches, so do our poet's frequent lilts, or trills, or the more suspended effusions of the soul inevitably suggest the presence of a life full of grandeur and of goodness. He became a singer because omnipotence taught him to revere eternal truths in living; and his poetry, in turn, is but the simple pronouncements of those verities. Acts for Governor "Sunday, Oct. 7. is the anniversary of our laureate's birth. If serious illness did not forbid, we may be sure we should have from the one whom we affectionately call Governor James P. Goodrich, formal appeal to the Indiana people, through public proclamation, for their appropriate observance of this day. But because of our great misfortune in this regard, as
head of the public school system of Indinan, a system made vastly richer because of the life of James Whitcomb Riley, I am setting apart Friday, Oct. 5, 1917, as Riley day for all our Indiana schools, public, private, parochial. I earnestly recommend that programs shall be prepared and executed in all our schools, the intent of which programs shall be the cherishing of the memory of Riley, the emulation of his sincere and siuple interpretation of the virtues of our people, and the inspiring to future good behavior the children of our schools who are soon to become the men and women of the commonwealth. "I beg also to ask co-operation of all of Indiana's churches in this celebration, since Riley day proper is Sunday, Oct. 7, 1917. In making this appeal to pastors and priests alike, I beg to ask that the thought of the universal brotherhood we all so much desire may thus be magnified."

ACCUSED GENERAL TELLS HIS SIDE
PETROGRAD. Sept. 19. Witnesses in the trial of General Soukhomlinoff,
off, the former Russian minister of war, who is facing a charge of high treason, having concluded their evidence, the general today was invited to give any explanations he might wish to make. The former minister appeared exhausted by the long judicial proceedings. Speaking in a weak, tired voice, he endeavored to prove the necessity of dismantling Russian fortresses for which he had given orders. He declared that owing to the conditions of modern warfare the fortresses long had lost all their strategic importance and would only have been traps for the retreating troops. "At the time of the Russo-Turkish campaign," he said, "I gained the conviction that provisional defensive works constructed while hostilities were in progress were of far greater practical utility". General Soukhomlinoff concluded by saying he never concerned himself
with politics, but worked exclusively for the welfare of the fatherland.
FIRE MENACES COAL RESERVE
BEECH GROVE, Ind., Sept. 19. Gigantic steam shovels of the Big Four railroad shops here are working today moving coal in an attempt to stop a blaze at the base of one of the three reserve coal piles of the Big Four railroad in Beech Grove. The pile started smoking last night and early today flames burst from the pile at various points. The piles in which the fire was discovered contains thousands of tons of coal. Huge adjoining coal piles will be endangered if the blaze gets beyond control. The superintendent of the railroad shops near which the coal was placed expressed tho opinion that the effort to check the fire would be successful soon.

SWEDEN NOT OUT OF WOODS IN CABLE CASE Stockholm Expects United States to Demand Further Explanation. STOCKHOLM, Sept 19. It is generally believed here that the. troubles
of the sweaisn government in con
nection with the German telegrams forwarded from Buenos Aires through the Swedish legation are by no means over. The question of the hour is whether the United States will rest satisfied with the tone of the Swedish communication issued last Saturday. It would surprise no one here if Secretary Lansing of the Washington state department, were to call for a clear and unequivocal statement to the effect that the forwarding of the American communications in language open to the Swedish authorities and with the knowledge and consent of the governments concerned was in no wise comparable to the services rendered to Germany by Sweden. The wording of the two Swedish
communications, it is pointed out in
political circles, unfortunately left the
way open to Germany and Germany's friends here and in other non-belligerent countries to bring charges upon the old adages about inhabitants of glass houses and the respective blackness of pots and kettles.. The entente ministers and Ira Nelson Morris, the American minister to Sweden, held on of their customary conferences on Monday afternoon,
when it is understood the situation created by the sending of German tele
grams from Bueons Aires and Mexico
City was considered.

Osages Didn't Get Much Out of Talk George Hartley, of Fountain City, member of the associated executive committee of Friends on Indian affairs, . who has made many visits to Indian reservations over the country, has spent some "fine times" with them, he says. He once addressed an Osage tribe when all of them had been up the entire night before, drinking peyote tea. Now the peyote tea, made of cactus berries, oftentimes makes the Indians see a glimpse of heaven he says. "Fifteen minutes after I', started to talk all of them were fast asleep," he says.
