WAYNE COUNTY . BEARS SHARE IN ALL U. S. WARS Patriotic Support Rendered by County in All Conflicts Described by Auditor. Th contributions which Wayne county has mado to the wars of the United States were related by County Auditor Bowman in his speech at the Old Settlers' picnic Saturday. "The population of Wayne county," he said, "has at all times been composed of a peace and liberty-loving citizenship. Among her earlier settlers were the Quakers who settled in the eastern part of the county and the Dunkard9 who settled in the western part, each of which were from conpcientious scruples opposed to war. Our natural inclinations have not been for war, but peace. However, even though desirable as peace may always have been, when war became a necessity for the defense of our honor, our government or our liberties, Wayne county has always heeded the call to arms and has borne her full share of the burden of tho conflict. The War of 1812. commonly called the second war for Independence, was begun only two years after the county was organized. As the county was new. having but recently been settled, its Inhabitants were few and the settlements scattered. There were only about 900 men in the county at that time. Wayne county's part in this war consisted chiefly in defending itself against the attacks of the Indians, 1 whose hostilities had been incited by British agents in the Northwest Territory. Numerous block houses and forts were erected and the settlers gathered about them. The Indians In Wayne county confined their activities chiefly In making depredations upon the property of the white inhabitants, who bravely defended themselves by driving the Indians out of the settlements. It is of Interest to note that even at that remote date, the draft was used on a certain class who refused to perform military duty on account of religious scruples. Some were reneat-

edly drafter and each time flr.ed. and sometimes their property waa sold a great sacrifice to pay their fines and a few were imprisoned in the county jail. War With Mexico. The Mexican War. about which there has always been a difference of opinion as to whether or not It could nave Deen wisely avoided, was not very popular in the north and a majority of the' troops were furnished by tne southern states. In addition to me acquisition of a splendid territory, it served as a means for considerable military training. The soldiers frm Wayne county enlisted in the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth regiments of Indiana Volunteers. The number that served from this county is not definitely known, but Wayne, being one of the older counties of the state, supplied more than her quota of men. At least two of these soldiers, each of which also served In the Civil war are still living. They are George L. Weist, formerly of Cambridge City and now at Indianapolis and Joseph Kelble, formerly of Richmond. At the beginning of the Civil war, Wayne was the banner county in the several respects. We not only supplied 'many more soldiers than our quota, but furnished them quicker than any other county. On the day following the call for troops one and one-half companies were enlisted. On the next day they were in Indianapolis and were the first to arrive in that city. Volunteering continued rapidly and numerous companies were soon arranged. When Camp Morton was filled to its- capacity. Camp Wayne was established in what is now Beallview Addition in the south part of Richmond, which was provisioned by local voluntary contributions, for the purpose of quartering our men until they could he mustered into the service.

ARMY OF 100,000 CZECHO-SLOVAKS GATHERS TO FIGHT PRO-GERMAN RULE OF BOLSHEVIKS AND QUIET RUSSIA

One hundred thousand Czechoslovaks from Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Northern Hungary have traversed Siberia to Vladivostok and are ready now to give their lives to overthrow the BoAlso Wayne county had the honor to furnish to the state of Indiana, our most distinguished citizen, Oliver P. Morton, resident of Centerville, to guide the ship of state during that perilous period of our history. He was aptly called the Soldiers Friend, and won for himself the title of Indiana's war governor, and of all the war governors, he was the greatest during the Civil war period. 2,412 in Civil War. A register of Wayne county men who served in the Civil war, which was published when the war was almost concluded, contains the names of 2 412 snlrHfirs. However, this is not atla complete list, and it has been esti mated that 300 names were omitted, which makes an estimated total of 2,712 soldiers, which was almost 10 percent of the entire population of the county in 1860, which as shown by the census was 29,558. Early in 1898, when it seemed almost certain that war would be declared against Spain, Paul Comstock of Richmond began the organization of an artillery company. Meetings were held and there were plenty of volunteers. A hall was rented and the streets wer eused for drilling grounds. A tmporary camp was established at Glen Miller park. On July 1, 1898, our organization wheih later became Company F, of the One Hundred and Sixty First Indiana Infantry, 106 in number, left Richmond for active service. In addition, about' 20 Wayne county men served in the regular army and saw service In the Philippine Islands. Co. F was stationed in Cuba as an army of occupation until peace was declared, ieutenant Comstock having rendered efficient services was commissioned captain. The regiment was mustered out of service on April 30, 1899, and Company F reached home on May 3. Wayne county did all the state would let her do. She furnished her full quota of men, and many others wished to go but additional troops were not needed. In Present War. As to tha present war, Wayne county has up to this time supplied 1724 soldiers which are now in the training camps, and the battlefields in France, which is 4 per cent, of our population. Wayne county has 13.000 members of the Red Cross which is 27 per cent, of her total population. Wayne county has 2 companies of State Militia, one company at Cambridge City and one at Richmond, with 75 members each, and both uniformed and drilled. The only other county-

Germany Should Know What U. S. Can Do-Lord Northcliffe

LONDON, Friday, Aug. 16. American aid in the war was given high praise by Viscount Northcliffe today in welcoming representatives of the overseas press and other distinguised guests to a reception at the Times office. Lord Northcliffe explained that he dilated on American efforts because through the Times his words would reach Germany and because "I think it is wise, that they, as well as ourselves, should know what lies in the womb of the future in regard to the United States' He told of America's efforts on sea and land, in transport shipbuilding, manufacturing of airplanes, food production and other things. He estimated that America would produce 10,000 liberty motors monthly and that its other war efforts are on a similar huge scale. America was fighting a public war and not a secret war, said Lord Northcliffe, in discussing the censorship. He added: Their government is frank with them about the war and I think that has had a deal to do with the acceleration of shipbuilding to an extent I had believed almost impossible." Lord Northcliffe complained that the British censorship had kept hidden the best efforts of the British nation and its, allies. He contrasted SHE WANTS NURSES FOR WORK AT HOME -4 Miss Helen Boyd. Miss Helen Bcyd is chairman of the national organization for public health nursing.

Emphatically Asserts Worn Out, Lagging Men Can Quickly Become Vigorous and Full of Ambition

7 A DAY Don't blame the man who is perpetually tired; his blood needs more red corpuscles and his brain and nerves are craving for food. Given the rigrht kind of medicine, any tired-out, inactive, lagging fellow can quickly be made into a real live, energetic and even ambitious man. So says a student of the nervous system who advises all men and women who feel worn out and who find It hard to get up ambition enough to take a regular job to get a package of Bio-feren at any druggist. This 1 s the new discovery that pharmacists are recommending because it is not expensive and speedily puts vigor and ambition into people who despaired of ever amounting to anything in life. People whose nerves have been wrecked by too rapid living, too much tobacco or alcohol, have regained their

British and American methods with regard to casualties, adding that British casualties last year in killed, wounded and missing were 800,000. After denouncing the pacifists, Lord Northcliffe concluded: "The right to make peace and where I believe peace will be made is in Berlin or Potsdam."
