CLEARING UP OF EUROPEAN TANGLE FIRST
Other Questions Take Back Seat Politically, We Hold Aloof; Economically, A'll Our Concern Is Abroad. MUST EXPORT- GOODS BY MARK SUrXlVA WASHINGTON. D. C. May 31 A good deal of the spice that goes with Washington conversation nowadays consists of remarks quoted from exPresident Wilson or attributed to him. The burden of many'of these remarks, authentic or alleged, is ironic comment on how the Republican party having marched violently down the hill from where Wilson took the world is now turning slowly around and getting ready to march up again. It would be unfair to Wilson to imply that any af his humorous irony, if he has indulged in it, has been in any degree .touched with malice or the satisfaction of "I told -you so." The fact is quite to the contrary. Wilson has been helpful to the present administration in the untangling of our foreign relations In every way that he could help, or that the administration has wanted his help. Also It would be a most incorrect inference to 'Suppose that any Republican leader has the faintest notion of going as far up the hill as President Wilson once was. Foreign Affairs First. Nevertheless, it is the clearest fact in Washington that every other question has now taken a position inferior to our international relations. At the beginning of the administration, three months ago, emphasis was laid chiefly on our-domestic program, on the tariff, on taxation, and on the reorganization of the government. So far as emphasis was laid on our foreign relations at all, that emphasis was in the direction of making Europe understand that we wanted to have the least possible to do with her, in a political sense at least. From the time of Harding's inaugural speech on the fourth of March until Ambassador Harvey's speech two weeks ago, the process was one of telling Europe,, Jn. louder and louder tones, that we would have nothing to do with the League of Nations. The general impression seems to be that Ambassador Harvey's effort was sufficiently high pitched to be unmistakable. Same Old Questions And yet the fact is that today the body of questions which are included in the league of nations is precisely the body of questions to which our government is giving most concern, and which, incidentally, is giving most concern to our government. There is no inconsistency in thin, and it is probably entirely according to schedule. Harding undoubtedly regarded it as his first business to get it clearly into the understanding of Europe that the verdict of our people on the league of nations had been such that his administration must stay out of it, and that Europe must adjust herself to this condition before Harding's administration could make any progress with Europe toward a different sort of understanding. Anyone who wishes a short cut to understanding of the administration's position can get it, in a way, by remembering the distinction between what is political and what is economic. Politically, we will have nothing to do with Europe; economically, all concern is with Europe. Need Stability Politically, we will take no hand in the stabilization of Europe or in the maintaining of any of the political entities of Europe; economically, all our concern is in the direction that Europe shall be stabilized as quickly as possible and that the various nations of Europe shall arrive a3 soon as possible at a state where the world feels secure about their permanence. The Republican leaders know well, and frankly admit, that our economic prosperity is dependent on the stability of Europe. They know that practically every European country wants to buy goods and credits in America. They know it is to America's interest to sell goods and credits to Europe. In fact, they know that we can't begin a new cycle of rising prosperity until we begin to ship goods to Europe. They know this would' come fooner or later if the United States would join the league of nations, or would if any other way to help to guarantee the stability of the new and old political entities of Europe. Thev know that if we insist on a pol icy of isolation the date of stability for Europe and consequent prosperity fnr us may be much longer postponed than if we were willing to take a hand in guaranteeing the stability of Europe. But however great the economic motive may be toward goin in. the political motive for staying out is the greater. (Copyright. 1921. by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)

PERSHING IS SCENE OF SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS GATHERING
; PERSHING. Ind.. May 31. With a registration before the end of the morning session - that amounted to nearly 150, the county convention of Sunday school workers opened Tuesday in the Lutheran church in Persh ing. Delegates were present from all parts of the county, and there were even some who gave address In Randolph and Union counties but who were attendants of Wayne county churches. Dalton. Boston and New Garden were examples of the' more distant townships of Wayne which were well represented at the convention. The morning program was opened with devotions led by Rev. A. F. Hogan, of Cambridge City, and the delegates were welcomed by Rev. C. W. Schirmer, of Pershing. A report of the children's division was given by Miss Lena Hiatt. Committees announced, after which adjournment was taken following a talk by State Secretary E. T. Albertson. State Secretary Talks After a report of the children's division, given by Miss Lena Hiatt, and the announcement of committees. State Secretary E. T. Albertson mad a short address. The resolutions committee consists of William Judkins, A. F. Hogan, and Uriah Bertsch. Members of the auditing committee are Reuben Bertsch, J. G. Mannon, and Scott Sichtz. The nominating committee will be named later, and will probably include township presidents or other represent- J atives rrom each townshin. . Mr. Albertson prefaced his talk by an informal census of the convention to determine what percentage was composed of officials, teachers, and pastors. He pointed out the advantages of county conventions, saying that they give an opportunity to exchange ideas, and discuss problems, giving a warning however, that too much emphasis should not be placed on difficulties of the work, in talking before the public. State Convention Theme. The coming state Sunday school convention was the theme of much of Mr. Albertson's speech. He named the prominent speakers, which included Arthur Arnold, state secretary of Ohio, and an attendant at the world convention; H. Augustine Smith, music director; Bishop Leete, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Baldwin, of Chicago, superintendent of the children's division of the international Sunday school association, and H. E. Tralle, of Philadelphia. Music was under the direction of T. W. Druley, of Boston township in the morning with Miss Flossie Neff at the piano. Miss .. Neff directed the afternoon song service also. The afternoon program included a report by Pierre Helms on the activities of the young people, a report sent in by county superintendent, E. P. Jones on the pastors, officers, and publicity of the county organization, and an addresB by Mr. Albertson. with group conferences at the end of the afternoon. Mr. Albertson's address was on the subject of the "Superintendent's Program" and pointed out the character of leadership needed by a superintend ent and by the subordinates whom he should choose. The superintendent, said Mr. Albertson', should be optimistic, should have self control, and be able to control others, and he should have a definite program. He should always be on the watch for young I people who are "doing things" and try to enlist them in the organization as "they can work as well in the church as in the hog growers' association." EXONERATE PILOT OF WRECKED PLANE; WEEKS ORDERS PROBE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May SI Lieut Stanley Ames, pilot of the Curtlss ! Eagle army air plant that crashed near Morgantown, Md., Saturday night with a loss of seven lives, is exonerated of all blame for the accident in the formal report of the board of investigation submitted today to Maj. M. F. Scanlon, commandant At Boiling Field. The accident, in the opinion of the board of three army aviation officers, was absolutely unavoidable and was due entirely to the storm into which the airplane ran while returning from Langley Field, Va.. to Washington. The report was submitted to Maj. Scanlon just before the commandant and his staff .eft the flying field for Washington to attend the funeral of Lieut. Ames. Captain William C. Ocker was senior officer of the board and the other members were Lieutenants Paul T. Wilkins and L. M. Wolfe. The board yesterday visited the scene, examined the wreckage and heard stories of eye witnesses to the disaster. They also made special effort to learn whether the crash was due to any defect in the design or equipment of the machine. The machine itself was so completely wrecked, however, that it was believed to have yielded no clew as to the cause of the disaster. The mass of torn and splintered material was ordered burned, being considered unsanitary. WASHINGTON. May 31Investigation by the inspector general of the army of the airplane crash at Morgantown, Md., Saturday in which four officers and an enlisted man In the army and two civilians lost their lives, was ordered today by Secretary Weeks. Instructions transmitted by Maj. Gen. March, chief of staff, directed that every angle of the disaster be carefully reviewed.

tained order instead of trying to disarm and disband the defense troops j at this critical time." i "We do net want to keep these men under arms a minute longer than necessary," he went on,, "but we must protect ourselves." General Von Hoefer lost his right arm during the great war, and is con sidered the strongest German person- ( ality in Silesia. He is credited with having established discipline among the defense forces gathered along the Oder, but many of the men he has disarmed, and others who came here from Germany were sent back. Prevents Advance. General Von Hoefer has repeatedly prevented the Germans from starting a general advance, rising one morn-1 ing' at four o'clock to send orders to Germans already under way toward the Oder to turn back. He has been in close touch with the British control officers in Upper Silesia and is said to have had considerable influence with allied officials. The first defense organizations formed here were composed of rather irresponsible young men from other sections of Germany. Many of these men were disarmed and sent back home, while one corps that was found guilty of plundering was forced to give up its arms. Men who have been tmnhlo in nrndiira pviiltnop that thev were Silesians have been withdrawn from the organizations. Rigid discipline has been established and operations are being conducted in a strictly mi lit an manner. PARIS, May 31. The exchange or vfewn between London and Parts" regarding a meeting of the allied supreme council to consider the Silesian question has reached a sort of dead center. Mr. Lloyd George, the British prime minister, is insisting that the premiers meet previous to the creation of an expert mission to examine the Silesiar problem, while Premier Briand, of France is persisting in the view that the experts ought to take up the question and make a report before the supreme council endeavors to solve the problem. Premier Briand handed the British ambassador here last evening a note repeating the French argument and dwelt upon the impossibility of the premiers taking effective action previous to the examination of the ques tion by experets. French View. The French view is that the premiers should not meet before June 16. France pointing out that when the council convenes it will have not only the Silesian issue, but the German disarmament problem to settle unless Bavaria meanwhile submits to the demand from Berlin for the dissolution of the Bavarian einwohnerwehr. In the meantime, the French attitude is that the penalties already applied to Germany shall not be raised until Germany begins the efficient execution of all the clauses of the treaty of Versailles.

GIVE DETAILS TUBERCULOSIS INSTITUTION Buildings Include Reception Hospital, Infirmary, Administration, Nurses Home and Community Quarters. WILL EQUALTHE FINEST Specifications , announced for the Wayne county tuberculosis hospital to be built on the old Esteb estate, about seven miles southwest of Richmond, assures for Wayne county a tuberculosis hospital equal to any in .the state of Indiana. Plans were made Monday night at a meeting of the -county trustees and local physicians. T. B. Kidner of the National Tuberculosis association, addressed the meeting. It was agreed by the meeting that the hospital should be first class and modern in every particular. While
the ultimate capacity of the institution probably -will be about 140 to 160 beds, only about 100 beds will be placed at the start. Provisions, however, will be made in the building of the hospital buildings to accommodate maximum service. Wayne county will build and own the hospital. Service, however, will be granted to patients from any part of the state, it was explained. Many institutions, Mr. Kidner pointed out, were conducted only for the poor. He recommended and it was approved, that Wayne county's hospital would be so arranged as to take care of private cases as well as those dependent upon the public. Single rooms and wards are to be maintained. Counties to Join While Union and Fayette counties will not share in the capital expenses of the hospital, they will be privileged to send their patients to the institution upon the basis of so much per capita per diem. Several persons present at Monday night's meeting said that the two counties are eager to send their tuberculosis patients to the hospital upon such an arrangement. Mr. Kidner said that the average per capita per diem for the care of such patients was about $2.50. It is recognized that all of the buildings to be erected in the program adopted cannot be accomplished at the start, but the ultimate aim as outlined Monday night Includes the following: 60-Bed Capacity The first building to be built will be the reception hospital and infirmary. It will be the largest of all, and is to be located at a point approximately 100 feet west of the present residence. It will have a 60-bed capacity 30 men and 30 women. The rooms are to be arranged so that there will be six individual rooms each for men and women; four rooms with accommddations for two beds each; two large rooms of four-bed capacity each, and one ward of eight On the west wing of this building will be a drug room for the pharmacist; one room for eye, ear and throat treatment; another room for the dental clinics and a general examination room. On the second floor will be an operating suite and X-ray room, and the laboratories. The roof of this wing will be provided for heliotherapsy (sun treatment). This build ing will also contain the diet kitchen and utility rooms. Dining Room. Beyond the rooms for the 30 men and 30 women patients will be a central dining room building and kitchen. Approximately 150 feet north of this building will be two buildings of the cottage type. Each will provide for the care of semi-ambulant patients. Twenty beds for men and 20 for women. An ambulant patient, Is is explained. Is one nearly restored to health. The administration building is to be built by the remodeling of the present old residence. It will have a large reception room, general office, record rooms, and office of medical superintendent on the first floor.' Its second floor is to be occupied by living quart ters for assistant physicians and medical staff. Nurses' Home. A nurses' home will be constructed approximately 300 feet north of the administration building, on the hlU facing the Liberty pike. It will have a separate entrance. The medical superintendent's cottage will be located south of the administration building and also have a seperate entrance from the road. The community building fs to be located near the nurses' home, and at a point approximately 150 feet north of the administration building.
This community building will have an auditorium capable of seating 150 persons. Entertainments and social events will be held here. The rear wing of the building will be used for class room quarters and work shops for occupational therapy. Heating Plant. Heat for the buildings is to be derived from a beating plant to be north of the other buildings and connected with them by underground conduits. The location chosen is desirable. It la said, because of being far enough removed to avoid throwing dirt and smoke on the hospital buildings. Light and power will come from the high tension transmission lines going over the farm between Richmond and Liberty. Work already accomplished Includes the drilling of a flowing well in 32 feet of limestone. This well has a natural flow of 15 gallons a minute. A motor pump with a capacity of 1,500 gallons an hour plimps this water into a pressure tank now serving the farm build: ings. with a 50 pound pressure. " ' Sewage Disposal. Sewage disposal is to be taken care of - by septic tanks and filter beds which will be located about 2,000 feet north of the building site, n: low (Continued on Page Eight; ,.
