Make Them Show Their Colors

Many Hooaiers have taken with more than a grain of ealt the profewion of certain citizens of

German origin that they are loyal to the core and

that their first love for the Kaiser vanished over

night like a fog in the sun's light.

The conversion was entirely too rapid to be indicative of sincerity and permanence. . The new interest for the cause of loyalty was so awkward

and often so strained that patriots were skeptic al of it. They could not prove that the German-Ameri

cans were positively disloyal, neither could the

true conviction of their hearts be ascertained, for

publicly these men and women manifested their

patriotism with emphasis.

Opposition to the formation of branches of the

Friends of German Democracy by Dr. William E

Bohn afforded a chance to test the real convictions of these men and women. In many Hoosier

cities with large German-American3 populations

the presence of this man with his patriotic ap peal was not wanted. His effort was denounced and his motives im

pugned. Evansville Germans relented his coming in terms so strong that the State Council of

Defense ought to call to task the men that uttered them. Dr. Bohn is working under auspices of the fed

eral government. His organization has no ulterior motive. It is dedicated to the one purpose of

proclaiming that there are no German sympathizers in the United States, excepting those in the prisons and detention camps, and that all citizens are proud to announce their unswerving allegiance to America. Too many German-Americans are downright hypocrites. Many of them think they are loyal Americans because they have subscribed to the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A., bought Liberty Loan bonds and war saving stamps. They believe that these acts will cover their secret sympathy for the Kaiser. They believe that if they refrain from saying a good word for the Kaiser openly and confine their laudations to their family circles, they cannot be censured. That's a Judas Iscariot brand of loyalty. What America is waiting to hear is that the home circle, the little social gathering and the little neighborhood meeting in which GermanAmericans participate have become nurseries of loyalty instead of breeding places for an insidious disloyalty that is bringing odium and reproach on many men and women. Many German-Americans are publicly loyal because they fear financial ruin if it became known that they loved the Kaiser more than Uncle Sam. And so they dissemble the real feeling of their heart, the real attitude which they express to their bosom friends and the members of their families. This hypocrisy accounts for the opposition that developed against Dr. Bohn. German-, Americans did rot want to come out in the open and by co-operation with him and by participation in the organization fight the battle in which America is engaged. I

All of these disloyai-in-the-house, down-in-their-heart sympathizers with the Kaiser must be smoked out Dr. Bohn brought them out in the open at Evansville, Indianapolis and Logansport. Those who opposed his work in these cities convicted themselves of their duplicity and disloyalty. The disloyal men and women of a community may believe that they can be outwardly loyal and inwardly supporters of the Kaiser without being discovered, but they are only deceiving themselves woefully. Men and women are giving themselves away every day. They cannot hide their shame. A loyal citizen needs no badge to classify himself. Neither does a hypocritical disloyal citi-

Conquest and Kultur

"We have become a nation of wrath ; we think only of the war. We execute God Almighty's will, and the ediets of His justice we will fulfill, imbued with holy rage, in vengeance upon the ungodly. God calls us to murderous battles, even if worlds should thereby fall to ruins. We are woven together like the chastening lash of war; we flame aloft like the lightning ; like gardens of roses our wounds blossom at the gate of Heaven. We thank Thee, Lord God. Thy wrathful call obliterates our sinful nature ; with Thine iron rod we smite all our enemies in the face." Poem by Fritz Philippi. B., pp. 54-55.

The High Schools From the Indianapolis News THE report of the committee appointed by the state vocational education conference recommending greater flexibility in high school courses Is rn conformity with the change in public sentiment as to the function of the high school. The secondary schools have usually been regarded as Institutions for preparing students for colleges. Courses, for years, have been arranged with this end in mind. The boy who went to high school to get the groundwork for 6ome mechanical trade at which he planned to work on graduation was obliged to have so many "cwdits" in classical languages or mathematics before he could get his diploma. These subjects were useful to him In a cultural way, but with the limited period at his disposal for acquiring an education that would best fit him for earning a living, their value in comparison with technical training in his chosen field was likely to seem inconsequential. Courses in practically all high schools are arranged to meet college entrance requirements. Yet a large proportion of graduates do not go to college because of financial or other reasons. Their course of study, nevertheless, has been the same as if they intended to continue their education after leaving high school. The result is that if many pupils did not spend hours in studying subjects that were useless to them they did not, at least, spend all of their time in studying subjects that would be of the greatest benefit. There can be no serious objection to the recommendation of the committee "that a girl who is determined to be a milliner, dressmaker, or nurse should be as readily released from the study of geometry, when necessary, as a boy intending to be a physician should be released from shop courses in order to select subjects vital to his purpose," or, "that, therefore, the

idea that high school graduation necessarily implies preparation for college entrance should be definitely abandoned." Flexibility in graduation requirements should not be permitted to result in a lowering of high school standards. Important advances have been made in this respect in recent years, as well as in unifying and standardizing courses. None of this should be lost, nor should the study of classical or purely cultural subjects be disparaged or discouraged. Every pupil who c;n should take these courses, but those faced with the task of preparing themselves for their life's work in a four years' high school course without the advantage of further training at college, should be permitted the utmost freedom, consistent with progressive ideas of the function of th high school, in concentrating on subjects of practical value. Perhaps it would be wise to arrange distinctive courses for those planning to attend college and for those who must finish their education in the secondary schools.

The Food Administration Says: The horses killed at the front are shipped directly to Paris and sold in the public meat markets. Even this has not met the demand for meat In France, and the sale of meat is not only restricted in amount to certain Individuals, but is also restricted to certain days in the week.

DINNER 5 TOR IE S The housewife, unable to find a woman to help with the housecleanlng advertised for a man to do chores around the house. The advertisement was answered by a colored man. "Are you married?" she asked. "Yas'm," replied the applicant, "but man wife is out of a job. Dat'a vhy I'se got to shift foh mahsef.' Melvln had Just returned from college. His education was evident In his every remark, and his mother appreciated it. "Mother, shall 1 extinguish the light?" he asked his mother the first night. "Why, now, what do you mean?" she asked. "That means, shall I put the light out?" he said. "Oh, surely, my son." The next morning he asked:

"Mother, may I read you a narrative?" "Why. what does that mean?" asked the mother. "Simply that I would like to read you a short tale," answered Melvln.

GET BUSY (Published by request of the National War Garden Commission, Washington, D. C.) Perhaps you think your lot Is hard and that the fates are hard and cruel because you're short of flour and lard, and have no coal to use as fuel. Perhaps you growl when meat gives out because it's used to fight the German, and think that war Is just about what It was called by Old Man Sherman. .Perhaps you're right. But what of that, you poor, misguided, grouchy duffer? Just let me tell you, good and flat, you don't know what it is to suffer Compare your lot with those who go to blaze the trail for Freedom's guerdon, and then you'll quickly come to know that they're the folks who bear the burden. So drop your grouch and be a man, and help to win the fight for Freedom. We've got the troops; now we must plan to furnish food enough to feed 'em. Get out and make a garden plot, and work it like a greedy miser. Grow in your yard and vacant lot munitions meant to lick the kaiser.

Seems that the state of Wisconsin is not to be added to the German empire just yet.

When Kaiser Bill picked up the Bolsheviki proposition he picked up a piece of sticky flypaper and cannot get it off his hands.

The Bolsheviki government is one which Is unwilling to protect those who do not subscribe to its doctrines and methpds, and unable to protect those who do.

" 'Peace, peace, let us have peace!' Quoth Bill, with a face grave and long. 'You can see we have won Ere you've really begun. So let's chuck it while I'm going strong.' " Ther is many a weary wife in this world who has listened to a war grouch for months, and ts willing to sign a separate peace at any time. The legislature of New Jersey has just adjourned after passing 300 new laws, and still not one making it an offense for a mosquito to stab a swamp dweller.

Who's Who In Literature. It is revealed In a New York lawsuit that the book, "Great Love Stories of the Bible," by Billy Sunday, was not written by Billy Sunday at all. New York writers are rolling this delicious morsel of gossip under their tongues and are trying to guess who wrote the book, which is one of the six best sellers. There seems to be a unanimous opinion that, no matter who wrote the book, the Immoral Bill

will probably garner most of the proceeds. The name of the real author Is awaited with considerable interest. The book created a sensation when it appeared, and was accorded several miles of favorable newspaper comment. These are lean days for autocrats. The pullman porter is about to be deprived of his job. See the Germans have taken Jamburg, in Russia. Will make a small bet that the Bolsheviki removed the jam before the Germans got there.

TO THE CANNERY WITH THESE "The German people will rise aginst the kaiser." "The rich are npt doing their share in this war." "Austria is j-eady to break with Germany." "The war cannot last through another winter." "The German spy system In America has been stamped out." "The kaiser is ruled by Hindenburg." "International politics makes strange bedfellows." Lloyd George. Perhaps that is true, but I shall never sleep with a Bolsheviki. What we want to know 19 whether every Saturday will be a "porkless" day in Congress. The American mule is chewing his bit.

Dr. Edward Hickley Bradford, of the Harvard Medical School, says men are descended from lizards which crawled on their bellies. He is probably referring to Russians not Americans.

Report Many Cases of Rheumatism Now

Says we must keep feet dry; avoid exposure and eat less meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid. Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp i'lid chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless

and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink

which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.

THERE IS NOW NO QUESTION OF MOTOR TRUCK ECONOMY, The cost of hauling with an International Motor Track today la little less than one-half the cost of doing the same work with horses, provided the truck is kept reasonably busy.An International 1h always ready for work. Its steady, day-by-day. year-ln and year-out service, due to Its built-in quality, and to the prompt service we give International owners, makes this truck especially economical. Compare the International engine, frame, springs, rear axle and wheel drive with those of any other track sold to carry equal loads. Then consider that this truck Is backed by a seyenty million dollar corporation with 76 years of manufacturing experience and with 90 direct company branches In the United States seven of them In Indiana. Where can you get greater assurance of steady service and low hauling costs? There are four sizes of International Motor Truck.. 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 pounds capacity.
