be made by the college administration
to defeat the amendment to the col

effort will be made at the Western

Indiana yearly meeting the week fol.

ministration OF the college to allow the
alumni OF the college to elect three
members Of the board Of trustees

such intention they have not made Il

The plan to allow the alumni to elect
three members Of the board was pro-
posed by me more than a year ago,
and was unanimously adopted in turn
by the board OF trustees and by each
yearly meeting. Later the college at.
torney informed me that the law of
the state requires a very definite and
formal method of procedure in case
1t is desired to amend the constitution
OF college. At my request, there

tion. OF course, there probably are
individual members of both yearly
meetings who doubt the wisdom of the
plan. but 1t is in line with progressive
college administration, and think

ed movement either in the board Of
trustees or among the membership
OF the yearly meetings at large, who
plan to put any obstacle in the way
of it's adoption. Yours,

FEAR OPEN BREAK.

WASHINGTON Sept. 1O.-Friendly
diplomatic relations between the Unit
ed State and Austria and the United
States and Germany are In grave dan.
ger OF interruption today. In the
case of Austria, there is feeling that
in repudiating DR.. Dumba's assertion
that he was acting directly under in
structions" from his home govern
ment in planning to disorganize Amer
ican munitions factories, and demand
ing his recall, the United States may
face a retaliation and eventually com
plete severance Of diplomatic inter
course.
So far as Germany is concerned. II
is admitted in official quarters that
the text Of the Arabic "explanation''
is far from satisfactory. Many officials
look for President Wilson to reject
peremptorily the suggestion of arbitra'
tion and demand a direct disavowal
Action viii Be Delayed.
No, action, however, is likely for
several days. The demand for the re-
call Of DR.. Dumba naturally overshad'
ows all other subjects in diplomatic
and official circles. The very fact
that in his letter to the Austrian for
eign minister he directly involves the
German military attache here. Captain
Won Papen, by claiming that he en-
dorsed the munition plant strike plan
many of the officials believe, may In
volve action in the case later.
The note asking for the ambassa-
doris recall while sharp, is said to con.
form entirely to the precedents, and
if Austria wants to accept the view OF
the United States, she easily can do SO
without loss of dignity. Inasmuca
however, as DR.. Dumba has insisted
that his course was dictated from
Vienna, many officials feel that Aus
tria may desire to defend his action
and insist that he is only protecting
his own nationals" That course would
have to be accompanied by the hand
ing to Ambassador Penheld Of his
passports and q complete break in the
present friendly relations between the
two governments.

HOW THE GERMANS WON.


PARIS, Sept. 10.-Today's state
ment from the war Office states the
Germans, using shells containing as
phyxiating gas and throwing burning
liquid were able to gain ground in the
Vosges yesterday. The French made
a counter attack after losing part OF
their positions at Schratzmaennle and
recaptured most Of the positions
which the Germans had gained.
The fighting of last night in the Ar.
gonne was confined to conflicts with
bombs and grenades. This indicates
that the Crown Princes new attempt
to drive through the French line with
his infantry had been abandoned, for
the present, at least. s-.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Count Won
Hohenlohe, an attache of the Austro.
Hungarian embassy, stated today that
DR.. Constantin Theodore Dumba had
expected the American government to
demand his recall, and, therefore, the
action at Washington caused him no
surprise.
The attache also said, after DR..
Dumba had received official notice
that his recall had been asked, he had
held long conversation with Johann
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa-
dor. This conference began at the
hotel where the count makes his head
quarters and was continued on a long
ride which lasted into the
early hours Of the morning.

D.A.R. SPEAKER URGES PEACE BY
 PREPAREDNESS
Disarmament to Be Effective Must Be Universal and
 Simultaneous.

Peace through national defense was the subject of a. stirring address given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. George Maynard Minor, at the state cenven- ton of the Daughters of the American Revolution held here in the First M. E. church. The speaker is vice pres ident general from Connecticut of the National Society, D. A. R.
 We all believe in disarmament; but to be effective it must be universal and simultaneous. There is no equal ity between one man armed and an other disarmed and so it is with na- tions,'' exclaimed the speaker in the course of her address.
 Events have proven, only too clear ly, that no matter how highly civil national safety seems at stake, or their national interests menaced, civi1iza- ton and restraint are thrown to the winds, treaties and compacts forgot ten, whole races spurred by sudden hatred, plunge headlong into war to the death with other races whom they have hailed a short time before as friends and brothers.
 ''In the light of these facts it is folly to say that war and aggression are things of the past and that national humility and confidence in our own good interest and the high moral civ ilization of our neighboring nations are sufficient guards against attack and disaster.
 "A well intentioned but misguided movement is being agitated among us which threatens to sap the strength of the nation and if not arrested bids fair to rob us of many of the sturdy qualities which are the mainstay of the republic.
 T refer to pacitsm or the theory of peace at any price,. A doctrine of absolute non-resistance. We must re- member we would not exist as a na- tio1s today if the men of '76 had be- lieved in this theory. If carried to ex- tremes it would amount to no less than treason in hours of national peril.
 ITO defend the heritage of our fa- thers is a. sacred duty. The spirit of our ancestors calls us like the minute men of old to our country's defense. Not in weakness but in power lie the foundation of that continued peace which is the highest ideal of a true, loyal and enlightened patriotism for the highest patriotism is still the pa triotism of peaee.'

 Commissioners Judge and Richard son were delegated to draft set of rules to govern the department.
 Gordon was greatly perturbed af- ter the meeting. He locked himself in his office and declined to meet re- porters.
 Spencer R. Gordon came to Bridge port nearly two years ago from Cin- cinnati where he held a position with the Organized Charities, a civic body. He was made the successor of Fred R.

 Since Gordon's advent here, there has been much contention in the de- partment.
