EX-CONVICTS DIE WAR HEROES IN ALLIED FORGES

249 Former Criminals Were ' Killed Fighting in British Army During War. ; LONDON, Nov. 25. Twe hundred And forty-nine ex-convicts were killed lighting in the British armies in the jaut'e of liberty. During the last few days the names of two of them appeared In the casualty lists, and this brought the total kept by 'Scotland Vartl up to 249. : ; It has not been possible to keep a check on the number wounded or mUsing, but the figures must be well over a thousand. It is known that several have been mentioned in dispatches, and at least one man, a former burglar, won the V. C. He was cfterwards killed. ; Altogether a little over six thousand ex- convicts have joined the British armies, and they have acquitted themhelves well. One of the most striking cases of great courage and devotion to duty at the front by a criminal is that of a man who had , received three sentences of penal servitude. He was what is known in the police courts as "a violent character," an enemy of society. On his release in 1016 he enlisted. Invalided out of the firing line he volunteered to save another man's life by giving bis blood for transfusion. Blood poisoning set In from the operation and he was sent to England. .: Having recovered, he obtained a first class certificate as a bombing instructor and returned to the front and won the Military Medal and the distinguished Conduct Medal. His officer stated: "He is one of our best N. C. O.'s, and has rendered splendid service."

SHE WAS MY FRIEND

The following poem was read by Miss Esther Griffin White at the funeral of Mrs. Narcissa Jenkinson this morning: I only think of this she was my friend 1 My good, kind friend who always had a word Of rare appreciation which has spurred . My fainting effort and has upward stirred The fires of fancy so their warmth would send Its pulsing current to my heart and lend v To life a fairer view as pools bestirred Will mirror the sun's brightness thus I've heard The distant chimes of Beauty. . ' i To this end She has helped others who have conquered fame And who, in glad acknowledgement have sent The message back to her. So would she rend ' A service great and while she fanned the flame The finest essence of her spirit spent 1 ODly think of this she was my friend! ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. , ,

VOTE TABULATION SHOWS BIG SLUMP

(By Associated Press) -INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25. Official tabulation of the total vote cast in Indiana at the election Nov. 5. shows that it was 79.6 per cent, of the vote cast in the state in 1916. Also a big slump In the Prohibition and Socialist votes was shown. The Republican vote this year was 88.4 per cent, of the vote of that party two years ago, and the Democratic vote in 1918 was 75.8 per cent, of the 1916 vote. The smaller number of ballots cast this year is accounted for by between 80,000 and 90,000 men of voting age being in the army, and less than 5,000 of them voting, and lack of interest due to it being an "off" year. Had all the soldiers cast their ballots the vote would have been about 10 per cent, less than two years ago. In 1916 the Socialist candidate for secretary of state received 21,855 votes. This year he received 11,297 votes. The Prohibition vote two years ago was 16,386 and this year, 8,409. Recapitulation of the vote this year, shows, Democrat, 251,694; Republican, 301.207; Prohibition, 8,409; Socialist, 11,297; total, 572,607. In 1916, the total vote was. Democrat, 334.063; Republican, 341,005; Progressive, 3,898; Prohibition, 16,386; Socialist, 21,855; Socialist Labor, 1,659; total, 718,848.

"We Don't Want to Get Well" Say Wounded Yanks Recovering at West Baden (By Associated Press) WEST BADEN, . Ind., Nov. 25. So well satisfied with their surroundings are some of the wounded soldiers sent to the United States hospital here to recuperate from injuries ; that they have told relatives "we are never going to get well and be discharged." The first of the soldiers, nineteen, about one-half from Indiana, arrived recently. A large hotel, one of the finest of its kind in the country, had been taken over by the government, and made into a hospital. The soldiers say they are well pleased with the country in this vicinity and their surroundings. One of them telephoned his brother in Indianapolis soon after his arrival. The brother asked, "When do you expect to be discharged?" "Why, man, never!" was the reply. "This is the finest place I've ever been in. It's so nice I don't want to get well. I'd be satisfied to live here forever." Instead of making arrangements for a furlough to visit relatives in Indianapolis, the soldier suggested his relatives visit him at West Baden.

In 1914, the total numer of ballots cast was 64. .6,059. - The Socialists came the nearest maintaining their vote of former years in the Eighth congressional district.

American Capital Flows

Into South America (By-Associated Press) LA PAZ, Bolivia, Nov. 25. Influx of American capital into the central republics of South America for the development of vast areas of hitherto untouched resources has caused Bolivia and Paraguay to awaken to a realization of the possibilities that lie in the disputed zone which is known as the Great Chaco. The boundary line between these two republics never has been fixed definitely because of the wildness of the country, but both nations have been satisfied with going on record as claiming all the zone and then going about their daily business without forcing the issue. But now that v great development companies from the United States are seeking concessions, the newspapers and public men are urging that the old question be brought up for final settlement.:. "- The Great Chaco is a vast area north of Argentine between the Pilcomayo and Paraguay rivers. It is claimed by both Bolivia and Paraguay, though both admit that their claims are so large that they will have to give up large areas in the final reckoning. For several years Bolivia has been preparing quietly for the day of final settlement, so that it is .now in a position to press the issue to advantage. That country has constructed a chain of forts at intervals of twenty miles, in direct wireless communication with La Paz, puts its army in possession of the strip and settled back for the argument which now appears to be approaching.

Want to Erect Buildings on State Fair Grounds INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25. Soon after the general assembly convenes in January 1919, a bill probably will be introduced in both branches, which, fr arinnted. will enable the state board

of agriciltureeto erect buildings on the

state fair grounds. Under the present law the state board cannot have debts beyond the extent of $80,000. It has reached that limit. Members of the board believe that with the real es-

late controlled by the board worth

I 1,000,000, the board should be auth
