Japan Not Ready To Get

Out Of Russia, Says Mickado (By Associated Press) TOKIO, May 24. The situation in the far east is still too unsettled to permit the withdrawal of the Japanese forces from Siberia, said he imperial address read by the empress at the annual meeting of the Japanese Red Cross. . Continuing, the address said the general condition of the world was such a to make it impossible to fore

tell its future deelopment. "It is, therefore, highly desirable," the address added, "that the society redouble its efforts in formulating plans best suited to the demands of the tlnes." Owing to the emperer's illness, the empress read the address.

Ministers to Adjourn For

Hummer After June Meet

The fftev. J. S. Hill led in the dis

cussionj of "The Pastor in his Study", at the weekly meeting of the Minister

ial asfAociation at the Y. M. C. A. Monday morning. President David

Edwards, of Earlham college, was the first speaker in the general dis

cussion which followed. It was decided that the last meet

ing of the fiscal year, which will be the last Monday in June, would not be

celebrated by a picnic as was planned

The association will meet as usual on that day and elect officers, after which

the meetings will be adjourned until

September.

WASHINGTON, May 24. With the Republican National Convention at Chicago, June 8, but little more than two weeks away, the situation with regard to the probable nominee is more uncertain than it was several weeks ago. None of the leading candidates has enough pledged support to entitle

him to a second-rate mortgage on the coveted prize, but there remain to be

chosen but 57 of the 984 delegates,

and next week the last of these will

be selected.

Claims of various candidates are so

conflicting that it is difficult to reach an accurate estimate of the instructed

delegate strength of each candidate, but close calculation is said to warrant the assertion that 366 delegates, free from Instruction as to candidates have been chosen, with 458 delegate

pledges distributed among Major Gen

eral Wood, who leads with 145; Sen

ator Hiram W. Johnson, of California, 98; Governor Frank O. Lowden, of

Illinois, 85; Senator Warren G. Hard

ing, of Ohio. 39; Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, 14, and Judge Peter C. Prichard, of North Carolina,

14.

Everybody Dreams. The situation is so complex that all

sorts of fanciful conjectures are advanced from day to day concerning

the final outcome of the convention.

There is scarcely a Republican of

prominence in public or private life who has not been mentioned as a probable "dark bourse," and each day

sees a new entry into this class of

candidates. One observer writes that

the "Old Guard" never will accept Major General Wood, another that Senator Johnson is not acceptable to the conservative wing, and therefore, can not win, and third that the Progres

sives will bolt the convention unless the nominee is selected from their group. Prospective candidacies are put forth frequently as "feelers." Campaign tactics have been changed from open warfare to trench fighting, each camp digging in resolutely for the final combat. All the Washinton headquarters of the candidates have been closed, and the campaign managers have moved on to the convention city, from which source the attack will be waged until the fight is ended. The uninstructed delegates will control the result. This has been the aim of powerful leaders in the party organization, and has been manipulated skillfully in a large number of states.

LINDLEY MAKES TALK IN

WICHITA; TO VISIT THERE

Harlow Llndley, head of the history department at Earlham college, addressed the national Friends Woman's

Missionary Society conference in

Wichita, Kas., Saturday night on "The

American Negro and His Future."

Prof. Lindley will visit in Kansas be

fore returning to Richmond. He will

be the guest of Prof, and Mrs. Earl

Shoup in Wichita. Prof. Shoup was formerly professor of history and economics at Earlham.

Sweeny, who is a

typical soldier of fortune, sailed from this country for Poland after recruiting between 100 and 200 Americans who had fought side by side with him in

.''fvji the foreign legion

v ana later in ine a.

Hi. r . io join me Polish forces in their fight for liberty. Sweeny joined

the foreign legion In 1914 and was wounded twice before America entered the war. He

came back to this country at that

time with the rank of lieutenant. Gal

lant action on the field of battle in France quickly brought promotion to

the rank of major and lieutenant

colonel. Among Lieut. Col. Sweeny's dec

orations are the Legion of "Honor, the Croix de Guerre with two palms and

two stars, and at the time of his de

parture for Europe last fall he had

been recommended for both the Ameri can D. S. O. and D. S. C. Only re

cently the French government made him an officer of the Legion of Honor.

"There is considerable going on in

Poland and plenty of opportunity for a mllitaray man," said Sweeny on the day of his departure. "Poland needs soldiers of the American dash, and I

have had no trouble in recruiting men like Col. William Thaw with between

100 and 200 other seasoned veterans."

WASHINGTON, May 24. Appealing

to city dwellers to aid the farmers harvest their crops this summer, Edwin T. Meredith, Secretary of Agriculture, Sunday declared that without

such aid "there is serious danger of

a food scarcity next winter."

Handicapped by a combination of

circumstances over which he has no

control, theAmerlcan farmer, the Sec

retary insists, is doing his utmost to

meet the food needs of the country.

He absolves him of suspicion of

slacking on the job. Because, however,

of handicaps, chief among which Is the

shortage of labor, the Secretary de

ciares, the farmer is faced by the necessity of curtailing his production,

unless aid is assured to him. For this reason Mr. Meredith urgently appeals to city business organizations and student bodies throughout the country to pledge themselves to send large numbers to the farms this summer and help the farmer gather his crops. "The problem," he" declared, "is as much the city man's as it is the farmers. Their interests are inter-dependent. I often wonder if the inhabitants of the cities realize how closely them problems come home to them. "With the exception -of the packing centers, the cities of the country have on hand at any time enough meat to feed them perhaps four days. They

bave enough flour io last only a few t

weeks. Their vegetables and fruits , come in from day to day. i

"Practically everything they eat is only a few days, or at most a few i weeks removed from the farm. When-! ever there is a shortage of production

it is reflected almost instantly upon i city dwellers. i "We face at present the danger of such a shortage for the next year. Curtailed acreage necessarily means curtailed food production and without adequate labor farmers canot maintain adequate acreage. Not alone is there a shortage of 30 per cent in the supply of hired farm labor, but farm work is behind because of the backward spring. "With the best possible season from now until harvest, those two things shortage of labor and late spring mean reduced production. With a poor season from now on, a food scarcity is inevitable. High wages would

mean little to the city worker if he could not buy food except at famine prices.

RECONSTRUCTION FOLKS TO HOLD A MEETING HERE Men and women from all parts of

the country who were in any phase of

Friends reconstruction work during

the war will attend a "Reconstruction

Unit" conference at Earlham College, June 23 and 24, before the Young

cago, and Jaul Jones, of New York City, secretary of the Fellowship of

MAMMOTH CAVE MAY BE MADE A NATIONAL PARK (By Associated Press)

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 24. Mammoth Cave, Kentucky's contribution to the wonders of the world, may soon be purchased and transformed into an extensive national park. Reports from Washington are to the effect that the Rules committee of the house or representatives contemplates calling up for passage shortly, a measure with this in view. This is House Bill No. 3110, introduced by Representative Robert Y Thomas of the Third Kentucky district, which would appropriate $1,000,000 for the government to purchase the great cavern and 32,000 acres of virgin forest lying around it.
