Plana for the transportation of hundreds of returned soldiers, sailors and marines from all' parts of Indiana for the gigantic parade and welcome celebration to tie eld there for the returning One hundred and fiftieth Field Artillery, of whom there are nearly 1,800 Hoosiers, were given an' impetus this morning with the announcement at New York that the troop ship Leviathan on which the unit sailed from France, had arrived in port there. Members of the Indiana welcoming committee and several mothers of the Hoosier heroes were on the yacht "Manhattan," that M-ent out to greet the troop ship. Virtually all the troops on the Leviathan are members of the Forty-second (Rainbow) division, composed of national guardsmen from twenty-eight states. No Information Here. It is probable that the men of the One hundred and fiftieth, who are to be paraded, dined and honored in Indiana's capital, will not leave for the west for several days. Railroad officials here have no information regarding the movement of troop trains and their probable arrival in Richmond, but it is thought that they will come through Richmond en route to" Indianapolis some time late next week. That the celebration day will be sooner than May 9, the tentative date, was thought likely today. A letter received by Will W. Reller, chairman of the Wayne County Council of defense from John Wilson, secretary of the state council, urgently states that all service who have already returned to their homes plan to take part in this, "the biggest celebraj tion. and greatest event in the history of the state. Soldiers Number 1,200. "The men of the One hundred and Fiftieth Field Artillery who will come here number only about 1,200, and will be a very small part of the total number of soldiers we are expecting to entertain," 6ays the letter. "We understand at present that Allen county alone has over 2,000 returned men, the majority of whom we expect to bring down." Wayne county men are again advised that all that will be necessary for them to do in order to attend the Indianapolis celebration will be to get on the interurban or train; pay their fares and receive a receipt from the conductor, which receipt they will present to Miss Flora Mae Green, home service secretary of the Red Cross. This receipt will then be presented as a claim to the county commissioners, to be paid out of a fund of $4,500 still in the county council treasury.

With this hospital Dr. Depage. with the aid of some Belgium soldiers, developed in four months a marvelous rose garden, in spite of the fact that for hundreds of years there had been a saying that roses could not be grown in Flanders. In the summer months more than five hundred roses were cut each day from this garden for soldiers in the hospitals.

Count Greppi. Count Greppi has just celebrated at Rome the 100th anniversary . of his birth. He looks much younger and his mind is still clear. The count is famed far and wide for his diplomacy. He began his official career at the age of eleven when he was appointed page of honor to the Empress Marie Louise. He has taken part in all the principal events , of the last eighty years. . His last post was ambassador to Petrograd where he represented King Humbert TOP SOIL HERE DEPOSITED BY LASTJLACIER Prof, Hole Says Huge , Flow "Succumbed in This Section During Trip South. By ROSCOE B. FLEMING Somewhere between 7,000 and 35,000 years ago, a great glacier,-the last of several, crept down from the North in an effort to sweep the American continent into the gulf stream, says Prof. Allen D. Hole of . Earlham college. But, on a line which runs across the middle of Wayne county, and reaches from Logan county, Ohio, to Henry county, Ind., it "gave up the ghost" in the warm rays of the prehistoric sun, and died, depositing it? burden of millions of tons of loam, clay and boulders throughout the district. All the top soil of most of Wayne and Preble counties, most of the hills around Glen Miller park, and several ridges across the counties, including the long ridge called Jackson's Hill, were part of the burden which the glacier pushed this far south and dropped. Left Lincoln Rock. Part also, was the Lincoln rock at Glen Miller, another great rock south of town as large as a city building, and the hundreds and hundreds of tons of boulders from those as large as a shed to those the size of a fist, which dot the hillsides and are heaped in great piles on many farms of Wayne and treble counties, and line the roads solidly in many parts of the latter. . . . Beiore the last glacier, there had been four flows. Traces of the first two have never been discovered in Wayne county, and nowhere else except under the deposits of the last two. They probably melted before they reached this far south. The fourth was also apparently a minor flow, not 'leaving many traces of its passage here. Third Reached Ohio. The third reached the Ohio river, on the depression which afterwards became the bed of the great river, and in several places pushed beyond it. Split Rock, in the river, near Aurora, Ind., is often pointed out as the southmost limit of glacial flows on the continent, st least in comparatively recent times. The third glacier left a line from Greensburg, Connersville and Brookville to Hamilton, Ohio, and spread over all this part of the state a hard compact yellow or. blue, clay soil called "Fill." The banks ol the , Whitewater gorge, which furnished a . good cross-section of Wayne county's crust, show this hard clay layer part of the way down. Left Many Boulders. Then the fifth flow the important one came down, carrying a looser, loamler soil and many boulders, which it left as it moved. In western part of the county it left- ridges, including Jackson's Hill, and the glacier evidently split into two lobes, just about at ! Richmond, the one extending over the central part of Indiana, and the other the maker of the great "moraines," or hills of glacial soil which distributed boulders and loam from Logan to Wayne counties. Part of the work' of the last glacier was to put the Whitewater river in the western part of Richmond instead of east of town. There has always been a large stream flowing south near the present site of Richmond, but all evidence shows that this stream once flowed east of the present city. (Continued on Page Four)

The Neue Freie Presse says: , : "Premier Orlando is bluffing, probably in order to square his position in Italy toward the interventionists. It is impossible for Italy to withdraw, as she is fed by America." The newspaper adds: "President; Wilson's position is based on the idea of right and justice and it is hoped he will act in the same way toward Bohemia and Tyrol, where the peopie will be driven to desperation if tmujeti-eu w vcuu ui iwuan voniroi. FIRST TEST OF LEAGUE LONDON, Friday, April 25. The majority of afternoon papers continued today to devote their leading articles to discussions of President Wilson's statement relative to the Italian situation ' The Westminster , Gazette asserts that "this is the first test case of the league of nations. It is undoubtedly the break , with the past which conventional minds find exceedingly disturbing. Yet, if the new world order to which we are pledged is to be more than a name, we may make up our minds that we shall all on occasion have to submit to the process now applied to Italy."

U. S. DELEGATES CONFER

(By Associated Press) , WASHINGTON, April 26 The Italian situation in the peace negotiations is clearing rapidly,, according to ad-; vices from Paris received today at the white house. It was stated that the action taken by President Wilson was "endorsed , everywhere." Just what developments were taking place was not disclosed, but it was evident that at a result of the message the tension which has prevailed in administration Quarters for the last three days was considerably relaxed. " HOPE FOR ADJOURNMENT ; PARIS, April 26. All the members of the American peace delegation will meet with President Wilson for a conference at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The peace conference Is watching with Intense interest the result of today's development in Rome, , where Premier Orlando arrived this morning and where the events of the day are expected to disclose whether the hope of reconciliation can be realized. Reports received here from the American embassy In Rome are some what ominous as to the general state of public feeling there, as crowds have been parading the 6treet crying "Down with the Americans," and "Down with the English," and "Vive Sonnino." the foreign minister who outdid Premier Orlando In pressing the extreme demands made by Italy under the secret treaty of London. Fear Populace Demands These reports are particularly dis turbing as the American and British ! delegation to the neace conference are said to have had reason to believe that Premier Orlando might adopt a course before the Italian parliament which would lead to an amicable ad justment. Premier Lloyd George was particularly hopeful that this result would be brought about. Reports of the popular agitation at Rome and many other Italian centers, however, have led to fears that the Italian prime minister's conciliatory attitude may be swept away in an outburst of feeling by the populace which will insist upon demands far beyond the counsel of the powers or President Wilson will feel themselves aui to .accept. It has just developed that the British, American and French Admirals in command in Adriatic waters bad formulated a plan for giving Italy certain of the Dalmatian islands which would have asured Italy control of the Adriatic such as she desires. This joint plan was presented to the Ital1 lan representees and was rejected as not sufficient. ' Meanwhile the plans for receiving the German delegates to the peace j conference are preceding, it being thought probable the meeting with the Germans will take place next Wednesday, April 30, by which time the comopen, together with some larger questions including the disposition ol the first line German warships. Meet Hunt Wednesday. The plenary session of the conference to be held on Monday may contlnue through Tuesday in order that the work of the body may be completed before the delegates proceed to Versailles on Wednesday for the first session with the Germans. This session is predicted on the completion of the treaty, which is not fully expected by Wednesday, as the council Is opposed to the delivery of the treaty in piece meal, or to making it public in part. The latest estimates by ex perts place the total length of the document at 70,000 words. The report that Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd George approved of President Wilson's statement on the Adriatic probl'vn was declared to be inaccurate, an announcement made here today 6ays. Crisis Shakes Conference The peace conference has been severely shaken by the Italian crisis. and the extent to which its work will be affected is receiving the anxious attention of the delegates. The American storm has broken and the air has cleared in that quarter, but in other quarters a less optimistic view is takfn. the feeling being that an element of confusion has been introduced which will result in more or less delay at the moment the German delegates are arriving. ' : In French and Italian circles the situation is regarded as serious and some quarters even represent it as desperate but this extreme view is not. generally held. - Several of the committees met today with the Italian members present and the secretariat of the American delegation said no notice had been received of the withdrawal of Italian participation. Pending formal action no break in relations would be assumed, it was added. But the departure of three of the Italian delegates and announcement of the departure of Foreign Minister Sonnino and Senor Salandra to occur Saturday and creates an anomalous situation as It is not known whether Italy will be represented at the plenary session of the conference Monday.
