DO MORE THAN GIVE SOLDIER

JOB--DONNELSON Gary "Y" Secretary is Disgusted With Treatment of ex-Service Men. L. A. Schwan, former secretary of the Richmond Y. M. C. A., now at Fort Wayne, and Max Donnelson, of Gary, Ind., were the chief speakers at the Y. M. C. A. emnloved officers con ference held at Reld Memorial church Friday morning and afternoon. Schwan spoke on the "Cultural Training of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary." "The association secretary holds, or should hold, a large place In the life of the community," said Schwan. He outlined the manner in which a secretary could attain a higher degree of cultural training. In upholding the need of cultural training, he said: "To my mind growth and development are dependent upon experience, study and contact. To be successful in business or profession there must be a large vision, one that lirts us up, one that prompts us to strive, one that inspires us to higher things and gives us the desire for experience, study and contact," 1 Max Donnelson, Industrial secretary I of the Gary association, addressed the . conference on the "Community Plan of Gary." Donnelson outlined the work that was being done by the Gary association in meeting 'conditions with all classes of people in need of the association's guiding - hand. He told, what they were doing to promote the better side of the foreigner in sports education and other lines. He said that the association did many unusual things, such as holding smokers at the association building. ' ' 800 Attended $moker. . At the last smoker, 800 men turned out and enjoyed the evening at .the Y. M. C. A. This , coming week the institution will hold a "corn cob" smoker and has bought large -quantities of corn cob pipes to insure the success of the affair. Community Bings, baseball, basket-ball and every other public event play an important part In the solving of the Gary, Ind iana association s problems, In speaking of the treatment soldiers were being accorded after their return from the battlefields of France, he said: "I am frankly disgusted with the treatment soldiers are get ting. When they are taken back In their old jobs people feel that they have done their duty" by them. And then after giving thm?60, which it takes a month or more for, them to obtain, we let the matter drop. These boys have won the war and- we owe them more." The Gary association has a free dormitory for soldiers out of employment, he said. 17 "Y's" Represented. Forty-four employed Y. M. C. A. officers are attending the meetings, rep-1 resenting seventeen associations.- At the business session this morning the executive committee, was nominated and approved by the Conference members. The committee will be composed ot A: B. Smith of Marion, Ind., chairman ; O. M. Brunson, of Richmond; M. C. Salassa, of Indianapolis; M. H. Donelson of Gary, Ind., and R. J. Duke of Indianapolis. Thursday afternoon and evening R. A. Overholser, community boys' secretary, gave an illustrated lecture on the camp work of the South Bend association where he is located. The South Bend association operates a camp at Eberbart, Mich., valued at $15,000. O. M. Brunson, boys' secretary of the local association, spoke on the community-wide program for boys. "If homes are sordid, churches are weak . schools immoral, employers selfish and grasping, and city official grafters, what chance has a association program?" For a community-wide pro gram to be successful, he said it must concern everyone. There, are 1,800 boys in Richmond who are in need of such a program and for it to become a success there should be a leader for every ten boys, he said. H. P. Scott of Fort Wayne is charman of the conferenec. The following Y. M. C. A. employed officers are in attendance at the meetlng for the two days: E. E. Stacy, state secretary; R. J.

Refugees Being Cared For by Friends; Need Only a Start, Writes Marvel

Political conditions are discussed briefly, and the work of the Friends In France Is given a personal touch by Joslah Marvel in the following excerpts from a letter to his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Marvel, ot 127 North Tenth street. Marvel, who Is head of the Frlends"Hoster in Paris, where all the Friends' reconstruction workers are housed and given a "bit of home." while in Paris, has recently visited the war zone and reconstruction camps. He writes: "We are expecting to see Austria go into revolution, Bolshevism, or something else within a ween, rne world seems to be-getting stirred up over the fact that the peace confer ence doesn't get something done, but when one stops to consider the amount of work which they have to do it is staggering. "Yesterday I had a postal from Walter Wlldman. written from Constanta, Rumania, in which he says that he has been put in charge of all relief in the department of Dobruaja with Lieut. Buttoff as assistant. People are starving and suffering terribly down there from lack of clothing, he says. Conditions in general are most denlorable. He wrote that he made his first trio into the country last Sunday with peas and macaroni, and that the roads were so bad it took him six hours to go fifty kilometers (30 miiAR). He exDlained that thread Is selling for 12 francs a spool ($2.40). while lard and sugar are 12 francs a pound. There certainly is a tremendous need for relief. Hoover has already gotten three ships of food there. However, he said the maddening thing now was that the army refuses to help Hoover get his food moved or do anvthinar for him. Of course, he has no commission, and cannot order any thing so he Is almost helpless trying to gel; transportation of food into the smaller interior countries. Parla Styles Horrid. "But changing the subject to styles, I think the Paris ones are horrid. Dresses are one piece and short, very narrow with tunics. It isn't everyone who can wear a tunic, either. "Bead decorations are being used over here, especially bead chains of bright color. "The man who has been attending to the miscellaneous buying here at the Hostel (buying everything from fillings for false teeth to sprayers for whte wash) is going back to England and they have asked me to take it over. My house is sufficiently well organized so I am not busy all the time. I am not very keen about It, though, for If' is very tiresome and things one buys for other people are never satisfactory. There doesn't seem to be anyone else at the present they can get, for one has to speak French, and know Paris rather well. One of the secretaries at the office will look after the correspondence and bookkeeping for me. Had Attack of "Flu." "It has taken me nearly all winter to get over my attack of the "flu," and Its. relapse, but now I am feeling very much better. We have had three days of sunshine and they are heavenly. "Perhaps you will have a call from Lester Taggart soon. He came through Paris on his way to Nantes to sail home, and stopped in to see me. He was in a great hurry because he only had four hours in Paris. Like everyone els.e who has enjoyed his work. Tag wanted to return to the States but when it came to the actual leaving it was pretty hard to leave France. --. "Last week I made an Interesting trip to Grange-le-Comte, our new headquarters in the Verdun area. Every six months there is a general committee meeting there composed of delegates from all of the different equipes, and I was elected to attend from our equip. I was so thankful that it was held there instead of at our hostel. Goes Into War Area "I was invited by Dr. and Mrs Parker (they were married here) to visit them at the hospital at Brizeaux. We left Paris Wednesday morning; went to Bar-le-duc; saw the relief workers, and Caroline Hutton Griest there, and then tooa a little old railroad that rambles along over the hills up into the war area. We arrived at Grange about dinner time. There are about 200 workers there and as I knew most of them, It was quite like going back to college for a week end. "The committee sat Thursday and Friday, and as the Palmers were going back and forth I went home with them Thursday night and got ack ln tlme for the committee meet ing Friday morning. The Palmers have an old military barracks hospital and have fixed it up quite well. I saw Ruth Hoop es (the nurse who took care of Eugene Quigg and myself during the flu) there, and Dr. Stevens from Muncie, a brother-in-law of Dr. Allen D. Hole, of Earlham. Work is Progressing "Our work is coming along very well. I don't know when I have had such a thrill of happiness as when we drove into Neuvilly. As we looked down into the little village in the valley, destruction and desolation were every place, except along a street In the middle of the town, where there stood thirty-two of our little houses, red Jile roofs shining In the spring sunlight. It was beautiful. "I visited another little village where Mr. Shlngley from Philadelphia has charge of the carpenters. The houses 'were not totally smashed so they could be patched up enough to give each family that came back at least one and sometimes two rooms to live in; and also they had rigged up some shelter for the horses. "The peasants have no tools and they can't buy any because there simply aren't any. Ours are all from America gwith a few from England. What can one man do in such a situation? If our fellows can give them half a start by patching up their roofs with our supplies and putting in a temporary fourth wall in one of the rooms which is otherwise intact, they have done something worth while. We can build a lean-to for his chickens, horse and pig, then the man has gotten the most difficult part over. He can bring his family back and with his horse he can get his garden start ed and soon they will be independent again. Sheep for Refugees "Some of the English girls are rais ing chickens in incubators. Sumner Mills is in Paris today on his way south to bring back 500 sheep which we will sell to the refugees at a very low- price.-' This will be a wonderful chance to buy them without being

robbed by speculators, and then the

problem of transportation fa almost impossible to the farmers, but the mission is able to get them shipped fairly easily, : "1 visited a village where they have what Is called a "co-operative store." It was the only store for miles around, and you can Imagine what it means to those women to have It When the refugees evacuated they went In -such hurry 'that they took nothing with them,..-The simply piled into "their wagons and left Now that they can come back they can't bring any furniture, because they have to fill up their wagon with straw and hay for their' horses,- as there is none In the war zone. When they arrive and find a co-operative store started and find they can buy brooms and all kinds of household supplies, seeds, dishes, beds and chairs, horse troughs, pins and thread well, It makes all the differ ence in the world. M Through No-Man's Land. "Saturday morning one ot the fellows who drives a car asked me to go to Narennes with him. This is north and on the German side of the old Hindeaburg line. It was an awfully interesting ride through "No-Man's Land." We went by way of Clarmont and Argonne, and then strttght north to Narennes. The fellows there are farming for the refugees. The latter will not return for another month, which of course, will make them late to ' begin gardening and farming, so our men are getting it a"il started (with the help of a great many German prisoners). "And it is not only the Idea of helping .these men get their particular gardens started, that is important in itself,, but If we can get them started they will supply the food for the region next winter. That Is what we are working for, to 'make them self-supporting as soon as possible. The courage the refugees have Is remarkable. All that they need is the 'push off' at the start and after that they can take care of themselves. "Sunday when we were visiting Verdun we met three American soldiers with a Ford who drove' us all over the battlefield and down to Toul, passing through St MihieL For fifty miles we followed the Meuse. The country was really beautiful despite its desolation, and the weather was gloriously warm." HOUSEWIVES CABLE WILSON FOR RETURN OF FIVE-CENT LOAF NEW YORK, May 2. "Give us back our five-cent loaf," is the plea Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the National Housewives' League, cabled to day to President Wilson. Mrs. Heath, saying she spoke for) the housewives of 70 per cent of the country's consumers, appealed for action to bring lower food prices. "We must have lower prices," she told the United Press. "Mr. Hoover should use his hundred million dollar appropriation (to feed Europe) to bring down the price of bread in America." Mrs. Heath's cablegram suggested that the president immediately authorize importation of Argentine and Canadian wheats to force down bread prices. Text of the Appeal Her cable, in part, follows: "The housewives of" 70 per cent of the consumers in this country, the remaining 30 per cent being farmers' wives, through the National Housewives' League ' of the United States, appeal to you for immediate executive action at the coming sessions of congress to reduce the cost of living, which, through present prices of bread, meat and corn, has become unbearable. "Will .you not use your unlimited power for good to put bread into the mouths of the people? Give us back our five-cent loaf and help suffering humanity, now staggering under the cruel yoke of prohibitive prices of the tare necessities of life. "The pre-war cost of bacon," she said, "was 30 cents, and it has now risen to 70 cents; pre-war lard 13 cents, now 40 cents; pre-war pork $17, now $52; pre-war wheat 90 cents, now $2.20; pre-war corn 60 cents, now $1.60. "Current statistics show we have the greatest stocks of wheat, meats, fats, hogs and cattle ever known In the history of the country, yet they are withheld from the people at prices none but the rich can pay." Mrs. Heath said the Housewives' League is gathering funds for a fight on high food costs at the next congress. . Nice Recreation Area Will Be Closed May 22 (By Associated Press) NICE, France, May 2.

HISTORIC WARSHIPS END ACTIVE SERVICE

WASHINGTON, May 2. Three of the four battleships which helped to destroy the Spanish fleet off Santiago in 1898 the Indiana, Massachusetts and Iowa are to be placed out of commission, the Navy department announced today, and their names reassigned to new- superdreadnoughts. For historical ond other reasons, however, the fourth ship, the Oregon, which circled South America in order to be in the battle against Cerevera's squadron, will retain her name, and will continue serving with the Pacific fleet. As the Indiana, Massachusetts and Iowa - probably never again will be placed in active service, they will be designated as "coast battleships Nos. 1,2 and 4." and probably will be sold for scrap or used as targets. The name Indiana will -be assigned to battleship No. 60, authorized with nine others in 1916, and which is to be built at the New York navy yard. The names Massachusetts and Iowa will be given to battleships Nos. 53 and 54, bids for the construction ot which will be opened by the Navy department May 23. The Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon were the lirst big gun battleships of the navy, and were built from the same design. They were completed more than 20 years ago. The Iowa, completed in 1897. had a much greater cruising radius than the other vessels.

Picture That Kept Yanks Healthy To Be Shown Here A; Stanley Ginn of Cleveland, spent Friday in the city arranging the details for the presentation here of a film, "Fit to Win," the government motion picture drama which has played an all important part in protecting the men In the army from venereal diseases. It is probably that a series of special performances will be given exclusively for women as well as for men.- : : Universal Interest to this feature picture owing to the fact that for the firpt time in the world's history, government has deemed it necessary to educate and Inform its citizens of that insidious social cancer. The story itself is replete with dramatic incident, human interest love and because of its essential realism viciousness and dishonor receive the author's unbiased atention. As a satisf vine drama.

WEATHER AND PLANS FOR CLEAN-UP WEEK KEEP DILLON BUSY

Weather conditions,- changing and Installing equipment In factories of the city, the re-wiring of alley light systems north and south of A street . in the business district and the effort to clean the city's ornamental lights for clean up week, have made the city light plant force very busy, said Superintendent James P. Dillon, Friday. Two little sticks, about two Inches long and as big around as a pencil, which came in with the muddy water of the intake, nearly caused havoc when they got into a relief valve on the big turbine, Thursday, said Dillon. The turbine had to be stopped while the sticks were extracted, and the entire load was thrown on engines which were not , big enough. . This caused the , lights to flicker several times over town.. The new dam on which work will be started as soon as the water will permit, will cut out all this trouble, said Dillon, as It will lead the water through screens which will hold out trash.
