The colonel took another cigarette
from his dwindling case. The officers
sat with their elbows on their knees
and looked silently at the ex-waiter.
The colonel said something. The two
soldiers saluted and turned on their
heels. The eX-waiter whipped his hand
stiff1y to his forehead, stood at atten-

The colonel and the other officers
were sitting quietly in attitudes of at

musketry. The sound of talk within
the room rose again. The colonel be-

president Of the board of public works.
One who considers this question from an I'M
biased standpoint must reach the conclusion that
it is poor policy to invest money in parks at the
present time, or in the immediate future. Pri-
vate business concerns are only making the most
necessary improvements at this time.
Unbiased citizens also realize that so long as
the state of Indiana permits the Whitewater
river and other streams to remain sewage cess
pools, riverside parks are out of place. Sewage
disposal plants to prevent pollution of streams
precede the Identification of river banks. And
when the pollution of the Whitewater river has
been discontinued then let the people of Rich
mond consider the Identification of the entire
river valley within the city limits and not one
small section of it.
President Bavis of the board of public works
wisely suggests that there are many more inn
portant things to spend $4,000 on than new
park.
The city of Edmonton, Calgary Canada, a
few weeks ago issued $4,000 in bonds but not
to provide another park for that city, which has
the same population as Richmond. Calgary is to
spend it's $4,000 for the construction Of a
municipal plant where bricks can be made for
paving the streets Of that hustling municipality.
Edmonton citizens agree that this is money we'll
expended but it is safe to wager that now, before
it's new brick making plant is in operation, Cal
gary has more miles of paved streets than Rich
mond has
Ten thousand dollars of the proposed $4,000
park bond issue would provide new automobile
ladder truck for the fire department, one of the
major requirements for reduction in fire insur-
ance rates for this city, but which cannot be pro-
vided next year because of the cty's limited rev.
enue-that is unless the administration contin-
ues it's wise, but unpopular economy program
successfully carried out this year.
How far $4,000 would go in providing bet
ter storm sewer system is too we'll known tc
mention.

WAR IN WORLDS HISTORY

Press Bureau gave it out quickly
enough. Hence, they said, the deep
and almost unbroken official silence
of the last few days BODIES no good for
the forces of the Allies.
In Paris conditions are no better.
The French War Office gives out on

pie are clamoring more boisterously
than the British that they be given
news of what is going on at the front.
In England, the newspapers are pub

is as we'll. or as Ill, informed as the
people of London. But in France even

CARNIVAL BANKERS
ATTRACT HUNDREDS

One Of the largest crowds ever wit
Messing carnival in this city attend
ed the Rice and Dore water Carnival
on the lot opposite Glen Miller park
last evening. The shows were Off
cially opened last evening as on Labor
day, which was to be the first day Of
the carnival, several of the shows had
not arrived. There are sixteen shows
besides the other side attractions. The
water carnival itself, which is a part
of the group of shows, is of high order.
Since there is no gate charges, it is
impossible to know exactly the num-
Der of persons witnessing the carnival
last evening but the crowd has been
estimated from $500 to 1000.

Is a Riverside Park Necessary?.

The question raised by number of West
Richmond people to whether the city shall
float a bond issue to transform the unsightly
west side dump into park site is one that de-
serves the serious and unbiased consideration of
every Richmond citizen.
There is not the slightest doubt that the river
valley dump is an intolerable nuisance and that
some remedy should be applied to it, but is the
remedy suggested by certain West Richmond
residents, municipal bond issue to provide a
park the best obtainable? Or shall the public in
dorse the policy of the administration in this
matter which opposes bond issue, but advo-
Gates an appropriation of $1,000 next year to
abate the nuisance?
President Bavis estimates that to transform
the dump site into park would mean the expen-
diture of between $4,000 and $4,000. He is
probably not far off in his estimates. He argues
that such large sum of money could be more
wisely expended
While Mr.. Bavis has been sharply criticised
for his attitude in this matter by many people,
and by certain political interests opposed to the
administration, who have seized upon it greedily
for Campaign material" student of municipal
affairs must approve of the stand taken by the

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Perhaps never
before in history was great war
fought with such secrecy as the great
struggle now going on among England,
France. Russia. Belgium, Servia, Ger
many and Austria. The whole affair is
being shrouded in deepest mystery
and the issues befogged and becloud-
ed at every step.
Every possible effort is being made
by every government involved to keep
their people and the rest Of the world
from getting an linking of what is
happening in the theatres of war.
Even the meagre statements issued
by the French war office, the British
Press Bureau and the war offices of
Germany and Russia as so intri cate
and ambiguous, so involved and round
about in their wording, that they con-
vey little information.
Portions of the British public today
showed disposition to be impatient
and skeptical, because of the scarcity
of information. They limited that the
government was reticent because it
had something to conceal. They ar
gued that If the British expeditionary
force in France was victorious, the
War Office would have no hesitancy
In giving out the facts. 1t was point
