NO GLUE IN SEARCH FOR ANDERSON, SAY MUNGIE OFFICIALS Tolice officials at Munclo are still without acy definite clue as to the v hereabouts of William Anderson, confessed murderer, who escaped from the Delaware county Jail Wednesday night and is still at large. The only report brought to police headquarters there thsit the police have been able to work on is that a man answering the description of the murderer was seen in the eastern part of the city late Thursday night. Muncle officials are of the opinion that Anderson Is still near the city, and probably in hiding with friends. According to the physician who attended him while at the county Jail, it would be Impossible for him to make any great effort to leave, owing to his physical condition as a result of being shot when arrested before. The man seen Thursday night corresponded to Anderson In every detail, and his right arm was hanging limply at his side, and did not swing as he walked. Police were unable to trace this man, or to find him at any time after he was seen. People of Delaware county are generally of the opinion that the county sheriff, in whose custody Anderson had been placed, was negligent in the discharge of his duties, according to Muncie newspapers. An Investigation made in an effort to find out how Anderson made his escape revealed the fact that the sheriff was very lenient in handling the prisoners and allowed them to roam around the corridor of the Jail oirtside their cells. It Is not known here whether an official Investigation of the charge of negligence against the sheriff will be made or not.

Madan, AUSTRIANS ARE HOPELESS UNDER TERMS OF PEACE Nation Invited to "American Duel" Declares Press Call Conditions Impossible. (By Associated Press) VIENNA, Thursday, July 24. The new terms of the Austrian peace treaty are making no special impression on the general public. The newspapers, however, remark that the world Is still attempting to treat Austria as a great state instead of one which has lost five-sixths of her territory and been reduced from a great empire of 65,000,000 persons to six million who are facing a winter in which hundreds of thousands are sure to die of famine or cold. The Neue Frele Press says, "The allies wish to force Austria into bankruptcy and thereby get o prior claim on her Income which will be applied to damages and reparations." Dr. Karl Renner, the German-Aus-chancellor and head of the peace ut-icgiuuu wnicn visuea si. uermain. in an interview published here, says: "We are Invited to 'an American duel' that Is, we have the option of shootinc ourselves or of being shot. Within the next ten days the Austrian delegates must furnish proofs that Aus- " i v- a.DC,Cua which are non-existent." Emigration Is Advised Dr. Alfred Treichl, managing director of the Anglo-Austrian bank said today to the correspondent: "Since the war Austria has been stripped gradually of her possessions until she is now deprived of what other coun tries consider necessities of life as she is without food and without coal. The onlv solution for our people is eml-gv-'on. i. n h a gold reserve of possibly time hundred millions (Crowns) we are expected . to redeem .bark. -notes n foreign countries totaling from five to seven billions arid a war loan of possibly half a biltion. mostly held in Germany. Of forty-one billion bank notes printed in the empire we now hold from five to seven billions. "Whatever the peace terms they probably will not be executed, as any commission sent here to supervise the execution will discover that it cannot be done." HARRY RAY'S NAME GIVEN FOR TITLE OF LEGION POST Mrs. John F. Holoday. wife of the Wayne county court reporter, suggested Friday the name of Harry M. Ray, Wayne county boy who was killed in action in France, as a fitting title for the Wayne county post of the Ameri can Legion.

He was cited for bravery in action by General Pershing. The citation follows: "Corporal Harry M. Ray, deceased, Company H. 6th Infantry, who was In charge of Company H, 6th Infantry, in the St. Mihiel offensive on Septem bpr 12, 1918, and again in the Argonne offensive on October 13, 1918, assisted in the capture of a machine gun which was holding up his company; display ed unusual qualities as a leader and great devotion to duty on October 13 1918, the date on which he was killed in action." "Foreign Legion." Louis Schwartzentruber. 808 South Seventh street, suggests for the post either "The Foreign Legion of Wayne Heroes or "The Legion of Wayne Heroes.

NEW YORK, July 25 Hamilton Lee, one of the discharged aviators said today In speaking of his dismissal: "I don't go up In foggy weather with a big machine which travels 100 miles an hour. The smaller 'ships' are alright because they are slower, In foggy weather it Is often necessary to fly only 150 to 250 feet above the ground and a high com.'pression Liberty motor is apt to get not at a low altitude, causing a forced land ing. If I am traveling over a large city such flying is dangerous to peo ple below as well as to me.

Indiana Uses Forest Reserve to Further Interest in Reforestation; "Must Plant Now That We May Have Trees in 1 00 Years," Says Lieber

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., July 25. Nestled among the knobs of Clark

county, within 25 miles of the OhloaDOUl a mue -wiue. Diuueuis i urea river, is Indiana's tree museum, thejd shrubs find the best specimens state forest reservation, where each ln a11 stages of growth. Since the es-

of the 100 varieties of trees and 100 different shrubs native to Hoosierdom are being grown for experimental purposes. On the 2,000-acre reserve Charles C. Deam, state forester, has collected a growing exhibit of native trees and shrubs such as P. T. Barnum would have declared was the "greatest on earth." Trees and shrubs from seedlings to grandparents, axe on the plots In the big tract. , To the , average .. Hoosler- th - fact that there are 100 varieties of trees and the same number species of shrubs is new and interesting. Nature lovers and students of "treeology" regard the reserve as a wonderland for study of tree and shrub life. To rehabilitate the state's forest lands and emphasize the importance of growing timber, the conservation commission Is expending much energy In attracting the citizens of Indiana to the various projects maintained. The forest reserve demonstrates what organized effort can accomplish. A census of the trees and shrubs Bride is Souvenir From France CHARMING brown-eyed girl, a daughter of the city of Chaumount, General Pershing's headquarters in France, is the "souvenir" which First Sergeant Dwight Russell, of Company A, headquarters battalion G. H. G., has brought back home with him. The young bride Is the daughter of Monsieur and Madame Jeanne Magnien, and is a graduate of the University of Chaumount. She was an active war worker, having entered an ammunition factory early in the conflict and doing the heaviest work for France's victory. A tale of true romance is that of Mrs. Russell and her husband, who is the son of Mrs. Anna Russell of Centerville. A regular, with Pershing on the Mexican border, Sergeant Russell was ordered east to a port of embarkation in June, 1917. The first men to go over after the United states declared a state of war existing with Germany sailed in civilian clothes, apparently on personal business, said the sergeant Friday. They were taken mysteriously out in New York harbor in boats after night. Then a gigantic transport bearing Per shing and his staff, slipped out of the harbor unseen, and a few days later the first of the American Expeditionary Forces to France were installed in the first general headquarters in Paris. Love at Fi-st Sight? In Chaumount the young American sergeant was quartered with a French family, and there he met the daughter of the family. It was probably love at first sight, but according to Mrs. Russell they were not engaged when Sergeant Russell was ordered to the front. As a proof of her friendship, however, the French maid trusted her Great Dane machine gun dog to the American, and this dog, like his temporary master, served many months on the firing line and was wounded twice. "They did valliant work, and now in payment we have brought 'Duke,' our Dane' to America with us," said he. Many American mothers probably have this faithful dog to thank the life of their son, and the success of many attacks. Had Mutual Language Sergeant Russell served in the Argonne and at St. Mihiel with the Second Cavalry, and after that came back to Chaumount and proposed to the "sweetest girl." Neither bride nor groom remember whether the proposal was in English or French, but both , contracting parties understood. Ser-

show nearly 80,000 of them on the

reserve, which is four miles long and j tablishment of the reserve In 1903, seedlings and young trees of all native varieties have been planted each year, so that at this time they are from one year to sixteen years old. Forester Deam is fond or. his bu.uuo wards. When not traveling in other parts of the state, assisting the farmers and landowners In developing their woodlands and combating enemies to tree life, the forester is busily engaged in grooming his' specimens for. the various experimental . To illustrate how experiments are conducted, Forester Deam points out that one family of trees is sometimes planted in eight or ten different ways. Often two species are planted in the same plot, being alternated; for example, an ash, then a chestnut, keeping this arrangement thoroughout the plot. Experiments are made to see whether cultivated trees grow faster than those under normal growth. Pruning in the spring and fall forms the basia for another experiment. With the formation of the conservation commission under the act passed Brought Back by Centerville Boy geant Russell speaks French, and Is a "pretty good pupil," according to his wife, who is pushing her way out of a mire of English verbs and nouns "with twenty-five different meanings." Mr. and Mrs. Russell landed at Newport News seven days ago and snme immediately out to Richmond.. Mrs. Russell was charmed with American scenery, and a brief shopping trip or two since her arrival in Richmond has convinced her that American shops are unusual but very satisfactory. She was astounded at American prices, her husband explained in English. "When they left Paris butter was $3.50 a pound and sugar was almost unknown. The Russells are at present stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Smith, at 408 North Fiftenth. It is probably that they will arrange to live in this city. Sergeant Russell is a mechanical engineer.

Richard Lieber, director of the com mission, and Mr. Deam have been actively engaged in the building up of the forest reserve so that it will be a powerful factor in the forestry movement Mr. Lieber Is Intensely interested in the reforestratlon work for the state. A survey completed for the conservation commission shows that the area of forests and woodlots in the state is decreasing each year. At the present rate of forest destruction in Indiana, Director Lieber beUev9, there will be a time when the state will be barren. "A hundred years ago practically all of the area of the middle west was a wilderness of timber, but it Is estimated that In less than fifteen years practically all the merchantable timber will have been cut," he said. "It Is estimated that in the best conditions in Indiana It takes from seventy-five to 100 years to grow a white oak to sawlog size about one foot in diameter. Since it takes almost a century to grow a tree, we must plant today that our great-great-grandchildren 100 years from now may have timber." BOYCOTT IS FAVORED IN CITY SAYS MRS. ROACH No German Products or German Brides Wanted, Says Head of War Mothers. Richmond War Mothers, and some of the local merchants want to put a boycott on all German made goods, Mrs. A. W. Roach, acting national head of the War Mothers of America, said Friday. According to her, this is the greatest question before the War Mothers today, and will be one of the main issues at the great convention of war mothers and other patriotic organizations which is to be held in Baltimore in October. "1 have talked to a number of Richmond merchants," Mrs. Roach said, "and some are heartily in favor of the boycott and see no legitimate reason why we should trade with the Germans. On the other hand there are those who think that such action would kill Germany commercially, and we should not do it. "We war mothers think that Germany should feel the sting of isolation, and ehould be made to suffer privation." No German Brides. Reports received from Baltimore by Mrs. Roach show that last week the war mothers there were Instrumental in putting a boycott on three cargoes of German made toys and other articles which landed there. The statement says the cargoes are now in th3 warehouse. After a meeting, public sentiment was so strong against buy ing tnese articles that they were not to be bought in Baltimore. w hen asked about American soldiers bringing home German brides, Mrs. Roach said Wayne county mothers were hoping and felt confident that no boys from here would do such a thing. "Why do we want anything German?" she asked. BANKING BILL REPORTED WASHINGTON, July 25.

HUN

WILSON WILL HOLD FRENCH TREATY TILL END0FT0UR Defensive Treaty Text Will Not be Presented Until August Prepares Information of Peace Work.

CONFERENCE TO HALT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 25. President Wilson does not now plan to present the defensive treaty with France to the senate until after he returns from his tour of the country. This statement was made today at the white house. When the president presents the treaty he will accompany It with an explanatory address to the senate. No statements were made at the white house with regard to charges in the senate yesterday that the president had violated a section of the treaty by not presenting it simultaneously with the treaty of Versailles. There seemed to be some doubt at the white house today whether all Republican senators would be invited to confer with the president. It had been understood that all would be invited, but no further appointments had been made today and so far as could be learned Senator Warren of Wyoming and one or two other senators were all that the president planned to see in the immediate future. Prepares Information The president was in his study early and among the many matters before him was the preparation of information and documents relating to the peace negotiations requested by the senate. A vast number of papers have to be separated from the president's personal documents and this work was expected to consume much time. Indications today were that the president would start on his westward trip about August 10, although it was made clear this was purely tentative and that the exact date would depend largely upon developments in Wash ington during the next forenight. .President Wilson today was consid ering a week-end cruise on the yacht Mayflower, the weather being Ideal. OPPOSES RESERVATIONS. WASHINGTON, July 25 Any res ervations in Senate ratification of the peace treaty would reopen the whole field of negotiation, encourage other nations to make reservations, and re new international dissension, declared Senator Pittman of Nevada, a Democratic member of the foreign relations committee, In an address today In the Senate. The speaker cited the Spanish treaty of 1819, to which the Senate attached a reservation as to Papal claims in Florida, and said that although the Spanish government attached the same reservation, the treaty had to be ratified a second time because the two stipulations were differently worded. He pointed out that the supreme court later bad held this reservation to be "a part of the treaty" and that the same court had held of the treaty with Spain that "in its essence It is a contract." Effect on League. "It is immaterial" continued Senator Pittman "whether the Senate considers the reservation as changing the treaty or not. for that is a question under the law of contracts that the other party has an equal light to determine. It is immaterial whether the change be accomplished in the body of the treaty or by reservations in the resolution approving the treaty or by interpretative clauses annexed to the treaty. The words in a contract are of as much importance to the contracting parties as the agreement itself, and the words once agreed upon cannot be changed without the consent of each of the parties to be bound by the contract. "Are we Justified in assuming that other parliaments and governments will accept without further Interpretations or definitions of the articles of the covenant as affecting our own obligations?" "Japan's most bitter fight at the council table was to grant the league jurisdiction to prevent the United States, Canada, and Australia from excluding Japanese from their territories under the immigration laws. Think you that the Japanese government will neglect the opportunity to again insist upon reservations la the treaty covering this point?"
