EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. IS
Houses floating down the Ohio
river; Enterprise, Ind, with a
population of 200, abandoned and
probably swept away; Madison
vile, Webster and Tompkins, all
on the Kentucky side, abandoned,
and urgent calls for relief from
a dozen neighboring towns, make
up the flood situation here today.
That the crest was reached was
indicated by the river stage, sta
tfonary now "a hours at 46.5
feet. The danger will not be
over for several days, however,
as the effect of almost week
steady rain will keep the water
high for some time.
Fatalities were certainly caused
by last nights high wind, said
experienced river men today.

Bayberry Candles
Symbols of Good Cheer

This season promises to carry the
revival of the Bayberry Candle--made
once again as in Colonial times, in old
New England kitchens. The idea is
still current that a Bayberry Candle
will bring good luck to the recipient,
who burns one of these fragrant green
sticks on Christmas Eve.
The idea is to send a Balberry Can
die instead of a Christmas card. They
are here in all kinds of unique forms,
often times with candle sticks and
clever Inscriptions.

The Japanese government has not
entered into an offensive and defen.
sive alliance with the American gov.

Japanese diplomacy is not issuing
ultimatums every day at the com
mand of Japanese spellbinders.
The Japanese army is not on ouI

But:
Friendly conferences are being helc

The questions are being discussed
with a proper sense of responsibility
on both sides.
And the conference can get along

REPORTS
UNTRUE SAYS
DANIELS

United Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., May IT.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels today
said:
War scares, and reports that the
government is facing a crisis as the
result of the Japanese situation, and
repeated statements that the truth
has been withheld, and that the pub
lie has been deceived are justified only
insofar as the public permits itself
to be misled by the unscrupulous por-
ton of the press. There isn't the
slightest justification for the publi-
cation of these scares and the men
guilty of writing such stories ought
to be prosecuted. The navy, war and
state departments and the White
house have been misrepresented. The
danger of such publication is not con-
fined to America alone; but spreads
throughout the civilized world, giving
every nation erroneous impressions.
The secretary has ordered all war
ships in the Pacific ocean to remain
at their present anchorage, fearing
their movements might be miscon-
strued.

NEW PULITZER MAGAZINE
TO BATTLE Discomfort

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IT,
Walter Pulitzer of New York, who is
visiting here, announces that on Sept.
next he will begin the publication
of a new national magazine for the
discussion of important national and
international questions. A bureau of
experts on domestic and foreign po-
litical questions will be established
in this city. The new periodical will
be known as Pulitzer's Magazine. 1t
will contain departments devoted ia
literature and art.
In announcing his plans for the
magazine, Mr.. Pulitzer said: "A
great national problem is looming for
ward in our country. The people have
been misled by their own desire for
sensation. Out Of the fever Of muck
.-aking has grown a disease Of sullen
discomfort with established institu-
tions. Socialism is threatening Amer
lean life.
To-day the constructive elements
of our country have no mouthpiece
and need able, far-seeing leadership
OF thought. The conservative ele-
ment has worked ON in silence toe
long. The time has come for the
voice to speak. Pulitzer's Magazine
purposes to be the medium for that
voice throughout the nation"

CHARGED WITH IDEALIsM.

President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are "the most notable idealists"
of the day because they happen to
occupy the highest stations and be-
cause ability and opportunity have
made them great leaders. But they
are no more committed to idealism
than millions of their countrymen.
Their hopes and aims find response
in the heart of nearly every Ameri-
can.
The political ideals of the United
States have never been in any one
mans keeping or dependent upon the
favor of any one party. Men have
abandoned them and misguided party
organizations have abandoned them,
but the people as a whole, never. The
most grievous harm that has been
done them has resulted from their
use as a cloak by interests that fear
ed them and hated them.
If people at home and abroad will
examine the ideals of President Will
son they will find that every one OF
them is an old American ideal with
roots deep in the soil of liberty, equal
rights and good order. He is not
the forerunner of fad or an ex-
pertinent. He is interpreting as the
best and greatest of his predecessors
interpreted the idealism of 1776 which
does not fade.-New York World.

THE PROLONGATION OF LIFE.

In Sweden and Denmark where life
is methodical and ideals are high, and
the government takes up the ash
heaps regularly, normal man may
expect to live more than seventy
years. In Massachusetts, which is the
only one of our states to furnish us
with reliable statistics, the average
duration of life is forty-fve years.
Whever sanitary science is active the
length of life is steadily increasing.
In India it is stationary; in Europe
it has doubled in the last $50 years;
in New York it has doubled within
the last half century.-May Century.
