PUBLIC NEED IS FRANKNESS ABOUT WILSON'S ILLNESS

By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. (Copyright, 1919, by The Wheeler Syndicate. TncJ WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 25. The policy of secrecy ahout the president's illness, which at first aroused gossip, is beginning to arouse Jealousy. Even the Democrats in th United States senate, wh'permg In the cloak rooms, are asking each other what Is the actual government of the United States. It was announced last week that the cabinet was dividing the work of the chief executive among them, as it could well enough. But the senate nnd that means Republicans who dislike the president as well as the Democrats who affect not to dislike him, feel uneasily that big things are going on in the White House rather informally. This is sheer nonsense. Yet they make no bones of saying in private that the government of the United States is in an interregnum, and that the actual government of the United States is in the hands of Mr. Tumulty, Dr. Grayson and Bernard Baruch. That does not mean that the president is incapable of wise decisions, even his bitterest enemies do not believe such a thing. But they feel that he is a sick man who naturally has to waive many things, trusting them to those near him, and that many things are done with the president's sanction, chiefly because they have the approval of those surrounding him. Probably if the White House doctors would announce rather definitely what they think is the matter with the president, all this mouldy gossip would disappear. Most of it is bred in darkness and fear. It seems to have no basis in fact. For instance: At the Industrial conference word went about that the president had sent word to the delegates to 6tay until they had solved the problem: the rumor also said that he had declared that the conference was very much upon his heart. The question arose: Who said he said it? No one seemed to know. Then came the deadly follow up: "Well, was he able to say It?" A little frankness would have stopped that surmise. Candor Is Needed. Candor is the medicine which the public needs right now to cure it of its malady. The truth is vastly better than the flood of rumors covering the country. Every morning a score of hungry reporters gather at the White House. They get bulletins, and the bare bones of non-committal statements. Each man has to write from 300 to 500 words a day; he puts meat on the bones. He squints at the bulletins. He interviews the doctors, reads medical books and dreams dreams. The result is a rather dangerous condition of public information. A crisis in the country might make candor come too late. And the times are alive with crisis. Never before in a generation has America been moving so close to the danger line as it is moving today. Confidence in the situation at the White House House would be a great stabilizer. Xothing is done by those who might epeak frankly to encourage confidence. Probably it is the administration policy of secrecy that is working now automatically under the momentum of the past; possibly the momentum is accelerated by the president himself, still running true to form. But whatever it is, candor would be vastly "better for the needs of the hour. New Paris, 0.

Poincare's Casualties in War Include 3 Houses

(By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 25. When President Poiibcare leaves the Elysees Palance, the French White House, four months hence to make way for a new chief executive of the republic, he will, like a great many more ordinary citizens, be obliged to grapple with the difficult lodging problem. When he was elected president he had four domiciles, his apartment in Paris which he gave up at once, his villa at Sampigny, the old family homestead at Nubecourt and a small house at Bar le Due. The Sampigny villa was completely wrecked by the German artillery firing from the Camp of the Romans near Saint Mihlel, the homestead at Nubecourt was demolished by the explosion of an army motor truck loaded with gasoline, while a bomb from a German airplane fell full into the center of the house at Bar le Due and left nothing standing but ragged walls. Consequently the next ex-president will have to go house hunting along with thousands of other citizens, running the same small chance of finding a suitable abiding place. Centerville, Ind.

Armenian Girls, Held in Turk Harems, Ask for Aid TIFLI3. Armenia, Sept. 15, via Paris Oct. 25 Turkish Armenian refugees, whose daughters were saved from death for life of slavery in Turkish harems, have appealed to the American Red Cross for aid in obtaining their freedom. It is estimated by officals of the Armenian government that 30.000 girls are thus held in slavery. An executive committee to arrange plans for their deliberation has been named and will start work at once. These girls, daughters of refugees from Van and Bitlis regions, disappeared during the massacres of 1918. Nothing was heard of them for months and it was believed they had been slain by the Turks. Recently pitiful appeals for liberation have been coming from them from the Turkish harems, of Anatolia and European Turkey. Most, of the girls declare they have not changed their religion. New Government Starts Cleanup of East-Africa (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 25. Sir Horace Byatt. administrator of what was formerly German East' Africa, soon will leave England for Dar-es-Salaam, which will be the new headquarters of the government under the mandate of the league of nations. Various government officials have been appointed for administering the new territory, but it will be some time before the staff will be complete and the "new broom" starts sweeping. Meanwhile it is reported all is going smoothly. The old German native army has melted away and the country is now garrisoned by three battalions of the King's African Rifles from the neighboring colonies. The only Germans left are a few of the original settlers, the majority having been repatriated. Since they departed there have been no disturbances among the native inhabitants who are said to take kindly to the change of rulers. JAPS CONSIDER TREATY TOKIO, Monday, Oct. 20. Work has been virtually completed by the committee of the privy council which was appointed to examine the peace treaty and it is expected a report will be submitted at a full meeting of the council under the presidency of the emperor late this month.

INTEREST IN SALE OF OXFORD LIGHT PLANT IS STRONG

OXFORD. O.. Oct. 25 As the day for voting on the proposition to sell the municipal light plant draws near, increased interest in the question is being shown by all classes of citizens. The Socialists, who started the movement for a referendum on the sale of the plant to the Ohio Gas and Electric Co., of Middletown, are not Btrong enough to carry the election by themselves, but they arc backed by a large number of citizens who, for sentimental reasons alone, are opposed to the sale of the plant. On the other hand there are a large number who greatly favor the sale scheme. Those best informed on the subject say that the vote will be close, but are inclined to believe that the ! opposition will lose. A number of prominent business men, who have all along been against the sale, are known to have changed their mlnd3 within the last week, and it is believed that others will change before November 4. Both sides are working hard, and a large vote will be polled. Prof. Lord Will Speak Prof. Louis E. Lord, of Oberlin College, Oberlin, O., will deliver a lecture in McGuffey auditorium on Tuesday, under the auspices of the local branch of the Archaeological Institute of America.

After another day of debate on the Johnson amendment to the peace treaty, Senate leaders said Friday that although they would try to bring the proposal to a vote tomorrow, they were by no means certain the plan would succeed. They placed the time of meeting an hour earlier than usual in the hope that the Senate might "talk4 itself out" before night. During most of today's session the debate dragged along without much show of interest, but Immediately before adjournment the undercurrent of bitter feeling cropped out in a sharp exchange between Senator Hiram W. Johnson, of California, Republican, author of the amendment, and Senator Frederick Hale, of Maine, Republican, opposing it. Declaring that the amendment, which proposes in effect that in any decision by the League of Nations the United States shall have as many votes as Great Bratain and her col onies, in actual operation would not insure equality in the league, Senator Hale had argued that better results could be accomplished by a reservation on the subject. He alluded to Senator Johnson's plea that his amendment represented "the viewpoint of Americanism," and continued : "Let me say to the Senator from California that the motives of those opposing his proposal are every bit as high as his motives. "I am quite as much opposed as he is to inequality in the league, but I believe in meeting it with a reservation which will remedy it, rather than with an amendment which will not." Fearful Condition of Unrest Faces President WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 25. President Wilson, trying to get an ordered rest, today had before him a program of unrest the like of which has never before been put up to an American executive at one time. Here are some of the bigger problems that are "up to the president": Threatened strike of hundreds of thousands of bituminous mine workers scheduled for Nov. 1. Existing strike of steel workers and the action of the A. F. of L. in demanding the moral and financial support of a.11 labor to help win this struggle. Threatened strike of 600,000 railroad shopmen who have given the administraion until Nov. 15 to reduce living costs materially. Threatened strike of other railroad brotherhoods which have not enforced wage demands because they preefrred to wait and see if living costs couldn't be reduced. The breakup of the labor-capital public peace conference with the necessity for reorganizing the public group In the hopt that it may develop some tangible constructive measures to promote industrial peace. Then there is the treaty of peace. Cambridge City, Ind.

President to Receive Prohibition Bill If Condition Will Permit WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 Should President Wilson's condition continue to show improvement today, it was thought Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal physician, would permit him to receive the prohibition enforcement bill with the attorney-general's opinion on its constitutionality attached. The measure was sent to the white house yesterday, but was withheld for fear of overtaxing his energy in view of the other questions demanding his attention. Pviously the president has shown an eagerness to get into the study of the prohibition enforcement bill, and it doubtless will be the next legislative subject brought to his notice.

GARY APPLAUDED BY STEEL AND IRON MEN AT MEETING NEW YORK, Oct. 25. More than J 1.500 members of the American Iron i and Steel Institute at a meeting here Friday unanimously adopted a resolution indorsing the stand taken by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, at the National Industrial conference at Washington. The resolution was carried after a speech by Judge Gary, and its adoption was marked with an ovation to the speaker which lasted several minutes. In his speech Judge Gary criticised the make-up of the industrial confer- j ence. He said that in the employers' group there were several, "certain of whom at least should have been with the larbor group." In regard to the public group, he said that thousands of vocations, professions, and other lines of Industry had been overlooked, "all of which are affected more or less by the cost of production, the expense of living and, therefore, the control and conditions of both labor and capital." In regard to the labor group, the head of the steel corporation objected that there was no special representation of unorganized labor. "The same mistake seems to have been made," he commented, "by a large portion of the public that was made throughout the war, namely, that organized labor really represents workmen or wage earners generally, notwithstanding that, as a matter of fact, at least 85 per cent of the total are nonunion not members of any union or organization." Referring to racial agitation. Judge Gary said that much had been made public lately about the attempt to spread the doctrine of Bolshevism is persistent." ZINC COINS OF BELGIUM ARE BEING COUNTERFEITED (By Associated Press) BRUSSELS, Oct. 25. Small counterfeit coins made of zinc are being passed at face value in the Belgian capital. Much of the current coin especially the pieces from five to fifty centimes is made of this metal owing to the scarcity of nickel. Zinc evidently is conductive to counterfeiting for there is in circulation much unauthor ized money made of this metal. The government is said to be aware of the practice and when nickel becomes cheaper new coins may be made to take the place of the bad ones.
