ALLEGE GERMAN PROPAGANDA IN SCHOOL BOOKS State Board of Education Asked to Probe History

Used in Indiana Schools. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 27 A controversy over the use 'in Indiana, public schools of a new history contracted for recently by the State Board of Education has ben precipitated by W. W. Parsons, president of the State Normal School at Terre Haute and also a member of the state board. Dr. Parsons has written to Governor Goodrich asking that a special session of the state board be called to consider a second time the fitness of the book for the Hoosier curriculum. The Governor said yesterday that he will examine the book and consider the advisability of the request. The book under fire is "Outlines of European History, Part II." It was written by James Harvey Robinson, professor of history at Columbia University. It is published by Ginn & Co. A very similar book, "Medieval and Modern Times," by Prof. Robinson, has been in use in the Grand Rapids (Mich.) public schools where a simipassages in the book. Critics of the i. ,j t, v,j Ki.Mi 1 uuu& (lit; r-eliu ij uaac uirii uujcviiuu ( more on alleged ommissioos than on any actual misstatement of facts.

lating to the origin of the present war: "The exact causes of the great European war are still questions of dispute. Although Germany sought to 'localize the conflict' between Austria and Servia, it was clear from the first that Russia would not stand by while Servia was crushed, and that if Russia went to war with Austria to help Servia, then Germany would attack Russia; while France, Russia's ally, must fight too. Ernest efforts were made to avert the catastrophe but in vain." To this statement the objection is urged that it ignores Germany ss the author of the war. Another passage to which objection has been made is one which the author quotes the Kaiser as saying: "Summoned to the throne of my fathers, I have taken up the reins of government, looking to the King of Kings. I have sworn to God to fol low the example of my fathers and be to my people a just and firm ruler, to nurture piety and the fear of God, to cherish peace and to be a helper of the poor and oppressed and a faithful guordlan of justice." Critics of this passage say that it furthers the idea of the Divine right of rulership and has no place in a textbook for use in a country, that is at war to perpetuate democracy among the peoples of the earth. In explanation of the alleged noncommittal character of some of the references to the war, it is pointed out by friends of the authors that the book was written in 1916. OARS TURN OVER AT GRAVEL PIT A locomotive and seven cars turned over near the Greenville Gravel company Monday afternoon but no one was injured. The railroad has a side track that runs into the gravel pit and one of the big locomotives was on this side track. The locomotive attempted to couple onto two freight cars but the lock did not hold and the cars were sent down the track. These two cars hit a small rngine that is used to haul gravel in the gravel pit and the en ne iniura nil some wnais i ireigni over and rolled down the embankment at one side. No one was on the locomotive when the accident occurred. GERMAN OFFICER HEADS SPY PLOT SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27. Federal officials believe they will be able to prove the existence of a spy plot extending throosh Russia, Sweden and the United States, as the result of the indictment here yesterday of Allardt von den Mussche Muench and Edward Muench, alias Kurt Bruner, is said to be a nephew of former German ambassador Count von Bernstorff. The suspicions of a sailor on a Pacific liner on which the men arrived here on April 26, 1917. led to their arrest. Secret papers are said to have been found sewed in the clothing of Muench. Muench is reported to have been a German officer captured by Cossacks early in the war. Zacho, reputed head of the spy system in Stockholm, was sent to procure his release and finally reached China with him. They reached here on forged passports, it is alleged. Muench was taken to Angel Island internment camp, and Zacho, arrested some time latier, has been held at Ellis Island, N. Y. They will be brought here for trial. Rotarians Enjoy Feast at Earlham College Seventy-two members of the Rotary Club enjoyed the dinner served to them at Eariham Hall, Earlham college, Tuesday noon. The dinner was served by Mrs. Hiss.

RELEASE GERMANS FROM EAST FRONT (Fv AssoHntPd Prpss WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Sunday, Aug. 25. German soldiers released from captivity in Russia have begun to arrive on the western front, it has been learned from prisoners, captured in recent battles. One hundred of these men who returned to Germany through the Ukra ine, were sent to a reserve division. Eighteen deserted before the detachment had got out of Germany, while three were killed in jumping from a train. The others reached their destination in a refractory mood. All the prisoners from this division agreed that the men returned from Russia were the poorest kind of soldiers. They are not only ill-humored, it is declared, but resent discipline.

U. S. MUST BE ALL AMERICAN CROWD IS TOLD

Must Speed Up War and Prepare for Peace Problems, Roosevelt Says in Speech. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 27. Col. Theodore Roosevelt in an address here Monday called for "speeding up" of the war program, preparation for universal military training and for solving social and Industrial problems to come with peace. He spoke at the Illinois Centennial Exposition which closed tonight at the State Fair grounds. It was estimated that approximately 20,000 persons heard the colonel's speech. "The two great needs of the moment," said Col. Roosevelt, "are to insist upon thoroughgoing and absolute Americanism throughout this land, and to speed up the war; and secondarily to these needs come the needs of beginning even now to make ready, to prepare for the tasks that are to come after the war, the task of preparing so that never again shall war find us helpless, and the task of preparing for the social and indus trial problems which this earth-shaking conflict of giants will leave In its ruinous wake. "To insist ufDn thorough-going, 100 percent Americanism among all our people is merely another way of sayjing that we insist upon being a Na tlon proud of our national past and confident of our future as the great est of the Nations of mankind; for if we permit our people to be split into a score of different nationalities, each speaking a different language and each paying its real soul honjage to some national ideal overseas, we shall not be a Nation at all, but merely a polyglot boarding house; and nobody feels much loyalty to a polyglot boarding house or is proud to belong to it. "When peace comes let us accept any reasonable proposal, whether calling for a league of nations or for any other machinery, which we can in good faith act upon, and which does really offer some chance of lessening the number of future wars and diminishing their area. But let us never forget that any promise that such a league or other piece of machinery will deiinitely do away with war is j either sheer nonsense or rank hypocrisy. "Let us rest our strength on an army which shall consist not of a special caste, but of the people themselves; on an army produced by the universal obligatory training of all our young men sometime between the 'ages of 19 and 21. "This is for the future. Our immediate duty is to win the war. We must speed up the war to the limit. We must try to finish it at the earliest possible moment, but be resolved to finish it, no matter how long it takes. We must insist on the peace of complete and overwhelming victory." OLICY OF U. S. LEASES RUSSIA (By Associated Press. ARCHANGEL, Tuedsay, Aug. 20 Nicholas Tschaikovsky, president of the provisional government, has made this statement today concerning the recent announcement of America's policy toward Russia: "America's policy exactly meets our wishes. We want to bring about a new Russian front and reorganize the country ourselves. We want the allies to form a stream of troops behind which we can work out our own salvation." He added that he would soon issue an order mobilizing a new national army and restoring military service. Announcement was made in Washington, August 3, that the United States and Japan would send a force to Siberia to safeguard the country, that the LTnited States would continue to co-operate with France and Great Britain in northern Russia and that the U. S. would send to Siberia a commission of experts to relieve the immediate economic' necessities of the people and give other aid. It was decided to assure formally the people of Russia that the U. S. and Japan did not intend to interfere politically or to impair her territorial integrity. Finn Command Dissolved. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 27. The supreme army command in Finland has been dissolved by Premier Svinhufvud, the Kruezzeitung of Berlin says it learns from Helsingfors, and General Wilkman has been appointed to command the Finnish army. It is added that the change does not affect Col. Thesleff, the commander in chief of the sea and land forces. Abpierre Arwholeolch YANKS MAKE BRAVE FIGHT FOR WOEVRE (Bv Associated fress WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 26, Monday American courage and grit again were exemplified Saturday night when units of the Woevre front repulsed a German raid without serious loss. One American sustained sixteen machine gun bullets three in the calf of the leg, ten between the knees and the waist and three in the arm but fought on. He will recover and be able to return to the fray. This soldier probably holds the American record for simultaneous wounds. Another American was badly wounded in the stomach fron fragments of a grenade and his nose was blown off and his face torn. He continued to fight the Germans and had almost to be forced to go to a dressing station. If a man is writing witn a pencil, he can camouflage a bit when he doesn't know how to spell it. But there's no way to cloud the evidence with a typewriter.

ronng French Sorporal Makes Record Capture Over of 700 Prisoners

(By Associated Press) WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, ARug. 27. The capture of 700 Germans is the exploit attributed to Pierre CelUer, aged 23, a corporal in the French tank corps. Two field pieces were taken. Cellier has been awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor, a reward rarely given to any one but a commissioned officer. Cellier was in command of a tank manned by fifteen Americans in the recent f ghting on the Marne salient. A shell struck the tank and rendered it useless. The men then advanced on foot. Cellier discovered the Germans ambushed in a cave. He kept guard at the entrance for an hour when a German appeared with a white flag. Behind the first one came the rest of the 700. one by one. The Germans threw down their arms before Cellier and marched to the rear at his direction. ASK PUBLIC AID IN DETECTION OF DRAFT SLACKERS In conformity with the suggestfjn of President Wilson that the state defense councils be utilized further, the war department has called upon the Indiana State Council of Defense to assist in the detection and apprehension of deserters and delinquents who have evaded the selective service law 1 by failing properly to register. me siaie council 111 a- eyraai bul letin has requested county councils of defense to assume this new and additional , duty. The county councils are expected to co-operate fully with the agents of the department of jus tice in this work. The bulletin to county councils suggests that every member feel a personal responsibility for the detection of every deserter or delinquent, particularly those whose presence might reflect upon the patriotism of the community. Every strange man in uniform, if on a legitimate errand "will have the evidence to establish the fact" says the state council's request, and any stranger in uniform "whose business is kept secret, should be regarded with suspicion." The county councils are asked to investigate the case of any "unknown" civilian between the age3 of 21 and 31 to ascertain whether he has a registration or exemption card. His failure should be reported promptly to the nearest agent of the department of justice. Deserters should be delivered to the nearest military post. "In addition to the direct results of these specific activities, the arousing of public sentiment will be of great value,'' the state council asserts. UNREPORTED PROFITS FOUND ON BOOKS OF MINE OWNERS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Aug. 27. Examination of the business records of about 265 coal producing companies by experts of the internal revenue bureau has disclosed unreported profits yielding more than $5,000,000 additional tax revenue to the government. More than 2,500 companies remain to be examined and officials expect to gather a total of $50,000,000 taxes from thrse sources. Some cases represent evident attempts to evade tax payments, but a large proportion, officials explained, reflect difficulty by the companies' accountants in figuring the proper tax under the complicated excess profits law. The examination of coal companies has been under way for three months by a corps of thirty-five accountants, especially trained in coal mining accounting problems. Similar studies now are being made of the woolen, oil and metal mining businesses, and corps of examiners will be sent into the field soon to survey these industries.
