Men of draft age who evaded service during the war will not be granted immunity by the army authorities. The names of delinquents are in the hands of army officers and federal attorneys

and the evaders will be brought before civil or military courts as fast as they are arrested. The records show that thousands of men of military age evaded the draft. Local authorities will be called on to help find them. Many have escaped to Mexico, Central and South America. Within the next three months, a complete record of the evaders will be compiled and ready for distribution among the police authorities. Wayne county has a few draft evaders on its list. The conscription board, although the files have been closed, will arrest the reprobates as soon as they return to this community. A draft evader is today a man without a country. The government will stay on his trail until he is brought to justice.

in most cases, if America continues to send help to the children. At present, the number of candidates for the chocolate treatment is far in excess of the chocolate on hand. Another tragic sight, Mr. Billikopf says, was

that of hundreds of child-beggars, who crept like ;

infants through the streets of Warsaw, Vilna, and other large cities, because they had not the strength to stand upright. , ,

Helping Polish Children

How American chocolate is proving a cure for

blindness in the case of hundreds of children in Poland is the story brought back by Jacob Billi

kopf, who has just returned to America after a stay of several months in that country, where he went to investigate the conditions for the American Jewish Relief committee. In the territory where the Polish armies are fighting the Bolshevists, and in the various large cities of Poland, there are today thousands of children who cannot see at all in the sunlight, Mr. Billikopf says. All day long, and until twilight comes to relieve them, they are afflicted by a constant twitching of the eyelids. Their disease, which broke out during the period of the German occupation, was named huehnerkrankheit, or "hen-sickness," by the German doctors. It was induced by starvation, resulting when malnutrition had lasted so long that it not only affected the bones of the children, but prevented the development of the muscles of their eyes, it is said. The disease becomes total blindness, in aggravated cases. Its only cure is proper nourishment. But it takes a long time to overcome huehnerkrankheit, because of the terrible condition in which the children of Poland are today.

Anything more pitiable than the sight of a large group of little children unable to see, and

not understanding their pain, cannot be imagined,

Mr. Billikopf says. In Vilna, his own birthplace, he visited one of the institutions where American

aid had already come, through the American Jewish Relief committee. The children were in the courtyard, behind the hospital. They were not running about and playing, as normal children do, but lying still on mats on the ground. There was no talking and laughing among them. They were the only altogether silent group of children that he had ever seen, Mr. Billikopf says. As he entered, with the doctor in charge of the institution, the children turned their eyes upon the two. Then it was noticeable that they

'.vere entirely unable to control the action of their eyelids. Some of them were able to keep their eyes open for only a few seconds at a time. Others, already partly cured, were in a less serious condition. American chocolate, because of its nutritive properties, is the best prescription for the disease, according to the physician in charge of these children, a Polish Jew. The arrival of food from the United States had checked the disease, he told Mr. Billikopf. A total cure can be affected

Foreign Students Welcome to America Will the United States help build up the civilization of the future by opening wide the doors

of her colleges and universities to students from j all over the world? Can Germany reestablish! her educational prestige and draw students to , her, first from the Near East, and later fromj other countries against whom she fought in thej war? Is America to assume the educational j leadership to which her new responsibilities call , her? j These are questions asked by the bureau of ( education, department of the interior, in a special , article in School Life, an official publication of the bureau. In a letter to college and university officers!

in this country the commissioner of education writes : "The higher educational institutions of western Europe have been prostrated by the war. Large numbers of the leading scientists and of the younger men whose scientific careers were just beginning have been killed. Because the intellectual resources of the United States have not been similarly drained the western nations are looking to the United States to assume the responsibilities of leadership in education and in science. That the colleges and universities of

the United States appreciate these responsibilities and are endeavoring to meet them is evidenced by the various movements that have been undertaken to promote closer educational relations between this country and the western allies. "Apparently Germany expects to regain the influence which she formerly exerted over foreign nations by means of her universities, technical schools, and scientific institutes. This office is informed that efforts have already been made by German educational institutions to recover their clientele of foreign students, especially from the countries in the near East adjacent to or contiguous to Germany. There is, of course, no immediate prospect that she could make a suc

cessful appeal to the students of Great Britain, France, or Italy. Students and young scientists in Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Russia, Roumania, and western Asia are much more likely to be drawn to German universities and to technical schools. Germany is near and they know it. The cost of living is lower than in some of the remoter countries, especially the United States. Nevertheless, it is believed that students from these countries would gladly come to the United States if they were familiar with its educational opportunities, and particularly if they could be assured of sufficient means to complete their

education. Evidently, it is desirable that the tide of students from these countries should be

turned this way rather than to Germany,

over the countries themselves need assistance. To render this is part of the responsibility involved in our new position of leadership. "The state department suggests and this office cordially indorses its suggestion, that the college officers of the country give this problem

their attention

James Fenimore Cooper, 1780-1851

Cooper was born In New Jersey In 1789, but when only about a year old removed to his father's almost feudal domain at Cooperstown, New York, where he died in 1851. There he le.trned to know the wilderness which plays'so Important a part in his books, and there, too, he probably acquired that headstrong: self-asscrtlveness and disregard of the opinions of others which made him, while one of the few most widely read authors in the world, one of the most cordially detested individuals to be found. He had .' a positive genres for getting: in bad. While Dickens a'nd Kipling deeply wounded one nation by their American Notes, they were pigmies in this respect compared to Cooper. He could exasperate any and everybody and apparently cultivated with pleasure his habitual aptitudes. Lowell wrote of him as "Cooper, who's written six volumes to prove he's as good as a , Lord." An English magazine described him as a "bullous brlggart," a "liar," a "full jackass," an "Insect." a "grub," and a "reptile." The "New Yorker" pleasantly wrote of him: ""He is as proud of blackguarding as a flshwomari is of Billingsgate. It Is as natural to him as snarling to a torn cat or growling to a bulldog. Me has the scorn and contempt of every well informed American." He cultivated a rich crop of libel suits and won then all! Yet the kindly hand of time has made us forget all this virulence. It Is only the virile story-teller who is remembered. Often called "The American Scott," he 'has probably been as widely read in all languages as any man who ever put pen to paper.

The building will be occupied by the office of the city light plant. The proposal to buy food was made by Councilman Joe Walterman. who said that the chairman of the Democratic committee had been Informed that Richmond could have food. The food is bought cheaply and the government allows 30 days for payment. In this time it would be pos

Price Excuses

From the Indianapolis News. i PERHAPS never before in the history of the country has there been bo much use for excuses as now. Practically every retailer must use them In many of his transactions with the public. The wholesaler use3 excuses when he raises the price to the retailer and the manufacturer has a plentiful supply of excuses for increasing the price of his product when he deals with the wholesaler. A favorite brand of excuse now is "European demand." Some of the European demand excuses are legitimate, but one wonders whether or not all of them are. Apparently there suddenly has developed an unlimited demand for American products of every kind in every country of Europe. The people knew, of course, that commerce was restricted for four years and they have been fed on the explanation that as soon as blockades were raised, and so on, thero would be a great export business. This seems to make a good excuse for increasing prices on what Is sold in this country because explanation is made that the law of supply and demand elevates the price when the demand becomes unusual. Shoes are going up because of the European demand for Americanmade footwear. Canned goods will go higher because of the European demand. These axe only examples; others could be given at great length. The ultimate consumer regards himself as helpless when he does not know Just how much of the popular excuse Is truth and what percentage is fiction. Me knows that for years there was a popular clamor for government ownership of this, that and the other, on the theory that prices would be brought down. Government control and operation, as a war expedient, has resulted In far higher

prices than private ownership dared to charge. So nothing will be gained by asking the government to step in. The government can, however, keep carefully informed on prices and advise the consumer whether or not the general increases are necessary or merely an attempt to get profits while the getting seems to be reasonably good.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 15. The appointment of E. B. Wetherow, superintendent of the Peru schools, as state high school inspector by L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, was approved Monday afternoon by the state board of education. Lee L. Driver of Winchester, appointed to the position some time ago, to succeed Oscar H. Williams, who became state normal school inspector, recently declined the appointment. Many applicants for the place have been considered by Mr. Hines. Mr. Wetherow has been in charge of the Peru schools for two years and prior to that time he was superintendent of the Miami county schools for ten years. Mr. Wetherow, while not a college graduate has had consider able training in Columbia university. Mr. Hines said he appointed Mr.

large crop as that now being harvested. It is not likely that it will be possible to move the present crop up to the last bushel, but on the contrary, the carry-over will undoubtedly be so large as to be a considerable factor. Meantime the European countries will be getting back Into their agricultural stride, so that their import requirements will.be reduced. Therefore unless labor and other costs are lower next year the farmer will have difficulty In marketing his wheat crop at a profit. With this in contemplation he is likely to cut the acreage in favor of corn and other crops. Canned goods. Including canned meats, should be cheaper. The price of tin will return to a normal basis, if not to the same low level as formerly, while materials needed in packing but made scarce by war requirements will again be in plentiful supply. Here again the labor cost will have to be reckoned with, but wih the army demobilized its scarcity will, in some measure at least, have been relieved.

ttfort and his conscientious scruples

threw him into a piteous state of indecision. The Vice-Admiral was not troubled by any such subtile casuistry. He only saw the enemy whom it was his duty to beat when, where and how he could. After a series of the most brilliant tactical maneuvres and a successful minor engagement with the whole French fleet by his division alone the two divisions had got separated in the mad gale and Bluewater had called bis own ships around him the ViceAdmiral found himself with five ship3 in the vicinity of the French who were just double in number. Far away to windward the morning disclosed the five ships of the Rear Admiral's division slowly standing down toward his superior under easy sail. Bluewater was still in his state of painful indecision. As soon as within signal distance, by using a private and personal code, he sent the follow-

THE QEORQE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK THE UNIVERSAL HEART Nearly two thousand years ago, in a lonely place, on the other side of the earth, a Man was nailed to a cross. Blood sprinkled from the nail holes in His hands and feet. From His heart a watery substance dripped. On either side of Him were also crucified, two other men. It is recorded that they were thieves. It was night time. The place was called Calvary. There was a stillness to the scene that almost gave to it an atmosphere of solid despair. But not that at all! A plain Man "tempted In all points as we, yet without sin," hung there to die hat He might live, in a world of love, so long as Time might be. It was, In reality, a day of Birth instead of Death.

"I had been In a bad fix for going on twenty-six years," continued Mr. Calkins, "of course, pot so bad all the time as I have been for the past ten years, but enough to make me suffer a lot. My arms pained me like oldfashioned toothache, and my legs were all drawn up so I Just had to hobble around on two crutches.
