TO STATE PARADE

Twenty-Five automobiles which de.

"Wo were pleased with the show

Indiana chairman for the parade.
The band, which made the trip on q

other autos to fall in on the trip tc

Connersville and Shelbyville sent big
delegations and other towns responded
well to such an extent that eastern
Indiana's representation in the parade
was greater than that from the west.
ern part which began in Terre Haute.
There was no official representation
from Centerville or Cambridge City,
the Centerville citizens seeing behind
the centennial what they believed to
be a political scheme.
ut was not wholly political, how
ever" said Mr.. Kramer today.
Practically every automobile in the
eastern section was placarded to show
the county it represented. All the
machines made excellent time on the
trip and there we're no serious mis-.
haps to mar the pleasure Of the day.

PARIS, DARK AND COLD.

Paris. in midwinter, is dark and
cold. There is not coal enough in
France to keep the munitions works
going and heat the homes and light
the streets. As to lighting the
streets, that is rather a minor con-
sideration; for there is less crime in
the great cities of the Old World
than ever before. London, Berlin,
Vienna, Paris, Rome, all tell the
same story.
Over on this side the water, we
read Of whole railroads being sold to
European governments in orner that
rails may be pulled up, bridges
wrecked, cars and locomotives hauled
away, to equip military highways in
Europe. Paris shivers through a
bleak Christmas, Canada is ripping
Up many hundreds Of miles Of steel

big, awful fact, that this world faces
such a cataclysm as modern society
had come to believe could never hap
pen again?

Mr.. GARDENERS BOLT

II was not exactly anticipated that
the East would provide the first
manifestation Of inharmony within
the Congressional ranks Of the some
what demoralized Republican party.
Congressman Gardner, however, has
rcpute as an insurgent Of the intel
lectual persuasion, and Of indubitable
nerve. He insurged so long as six
years ago, leveling his protest
against the rules that collectively
were looked upon as the citadel Of
"Cannonism." Now he is out in an
announcement that he cannot sup
port James r. Mann for the Speak
ership and the Republican leader
ship. because Mr.. Mann has several
times shown disposition to support
the "Kaiser's wicked cause"
No particular harm will eventuate
from starting thus early the consid-
Grafton Of certain differences Of opin-
ion which reach down to very vital
matters in connection with our posi-
ton in this troubled world. Mr.. Gard
ner has started something that,
sooner or later. in one form or an
other, will have TO be fought out. IL
will be found that no political party
monopolizes the potentiaiities Of
trouble in connection with this set Of
international questions.

country serviceable to German pur-
poses at this stage Of the war. There
is even note Of concern which in
dicates. realization that, II the
United States really is menaced with
necessity TO participate in the war,
it's participation will not be on the
side Of the central powers.
If there Is some measure of con-
cern on the other side, by reason Of
the American proposal of League
to Enforce Pesce, and Of this coun-
try's willingness to become one Of
the guarantors Of such project. it
must be recognized that there is also
concern on this side in the same re-
lation. Abandonment of this ma
tion's traditional policy of aloofness
from European alliances and COM
mitments will not be viewed with
satisfaction by the whole American
public; not even by that majority Of
II which sympathizes with the en-
tente allies in the war. This coun-
try's policy Of avoiding such inti-
macies and responsibilities dates
back to Washington; and 1t may well
be doubted If there has been any
period in which the desirability Of
continuing in harmony with the
dictum of the fathers has been more
generally accepted by the American
people than it is today, when there
is such keen perception Of the disa-
bilities that would ensue from part
nership in any European pact to su-
pervise the affairs Of the world.

SWITZERLAND BACKS WILSON

OF all the little neutral states that
have felt the war pressing upon
them while they tried to keep aloof
from its actual hostilities, Switzer-
land probably has suffered most and
seen most. Having no coastline, and
being entirely surrounded by nations
at war, Switzerland has been divided
in sympathies; the Germanic ele-
ments of her population favor the
Teutonic side, while in general the
others are pro-ally.
Economically, Switzerland has
been in severe straits because 1t has
always so greatly depended on free
dom of commercial intercourse. There
has been bitter jealousy on the part
of both belligerent groups, lest
supplies they permitted to enter
Switzerland should be diverted to
enemy uses. The Alpine country has
for generations, and increasingly in
recent decades. depended greatly
upon the revenue from travellers at
tracted by her wonderful scenery.
This source of income is completely
cut off by the war.
Small wonder, then, that Switzer-
land quickly voices approval Of the
effort, no matter how tentative and
uncertain IL may prove, of the United
States to help the nations find a way
out Of their troubles. Switzerland
needs peace a thousand times more
than America needs il.
Prospect Of something like a
united effort Of neutrals begins to
frame itself. The Vatican has indi-
Gated hearty approval Of President
Wilson's course; n fact which, con-
sidering its decided leaning toward
the entente powers, must be regard
ed as somewhat modifying the sig
nifieance Of that hostile tone mani

countries.

Of such stature and significance as
to be able TO sound humanity's warn
ing to n society committing suicide.
II II is possible, now. under the lead
ership that President Wilson has
tried to provide. for a group Of neu-
trails to compel consideration Of
peace terms, II will at least give to
neutrality a weight and importance
that, in this clash Of titan forces, IL
has not thus far possessed.

THE LITTLE NATIONS

By an interesting coincidence. the
dispatches from London and from
Berlin bring accounts Of conditions
in Bulgaria and Roumania, tina. de-
serve to be printed side by side and
to be thought upon deeply and seri-
ously. German authorities give a
view Of the horrors which Roumania
has suffered, and tell Of how deeply
the Roumanian people resent the at
titude of their Russian allies. who
have not saved them from the in
vader, but have generously helped TO
devastate the land in order that
both invader and natives may find
nothing left TO make il Of value.
From n Bulgarian statesman re-
Gently escaped to London, comes pre-
cisely the same story Of the hatred
that the Bulgars entertain for their
German allies. Secret agents Of the
greater powers. il Is said, I'LL Sofia,
intriguing to keep in Office the gov
ernment that has made itself the
puppet of Vienna and Berlin. The
people suffer for the most common
necessaries of life. They find them
selves subordinated TO the German
authorities, their government taken
away from them, their country
looted Of whatever the dominating
ally finds useful. They are starving
in order that their supplies may be
sent away to sustain the armies that
impose these conditions upon them.
They have won battles, but are by
way of losing their independence,
their national life. Starvation looks
the nation in the face. Like Rou-
mania, it knows not whether it is
suffering more at the hands of
friends or Of enemies.
In each case, doubtless, the picture
is overdrawn. II is Germany's wish
that the Roumanians shall believe
themselves betrayed by their allies;
the entente nations desire that Bull
garia shall esteem itself the victim
of wicked Vaccinations on the part
of its supposed friends and protec-
tors.
Yet, in truth, this is merely the
penalty that war brings to the little
nations, caught in its iron grip. Brit
ain and France, most enlightened
and humane, most patient and con-
siderate Of all the warning nations,
have not been able to save them
selves from the hatreds and resent
ments of neutrals, like Greece, and
their minor allies, like Serbia. War
means these things, and it's burden
inevitably falls heaviest on those
least able to bear it.
The Washington times., 1916-12-25
A CHRISTMAS OF HOPE

The hope Of peace shines as the
Star Of Bethlehem, over a weary,
war-worn world at this Christmas
tide. Perhaps II is a hope not yet
destined TO realization; but the feel
ing is strong in the hearts of men,
that wisdom and sanity must pres
emily point a way out Of humanity's
woes.
That the nations have peace as
their uppermost thought on this day
is augury of good. II is not day
for hatreds and unforgiving
thoughts. To millions of homes it
brings thoughts Of places that were
wont to be occupied at this season,
but will forever be vacant. II COM
pels thought of what another year
of horror may mean to this world; (;
of how very slightly men control
their destinies, of how greatly they
are dependent on forces which they
little understand and over which they
know not how to exercise control.
Thinking thus, they are led toward
contemplation of those eternal veri-
ties which remain forever unchang-
ing and fixed; rock in weary
land. They cannot refuse, this day,
to give thought to the things that
once made Christmas the happiest
day instead of the saddest of all the
calendar. If they would refuse, they
have been denied that poor privilege,
for the peace thought that has been
forced upon them, however unwill-
ing.
II was given to Americas Presi-
dent authoritatively TO voice this
nope of the world; to turn the Christ
mas thinking of the race toward the
possibility that men may yet save
themselves. They are thinking, to-
day, on these things. There is no es-
Gaping it, no denying it. One Christ
mas Day of earnest thought and
hope and prayer may mean the turn
ing of the tide of surging thoughts
away from the horrors and the suf-
ferings, and toward the way that
leads upward to the light.
"As a man thinketh in his heart,
so is he." Christmas compels the
thoughts that inevitably enforce a
longing for those better things that
the world must not forget. This
Christmas sees again the light OF
hope shining on a world in gloom
and the thought of better, brighter
things must make this day Christ

EUROPE THINKING 1T OVER

The more moderate tone of Euro
pean comment on President Wilson's
peace suggestion indicates that they
are thinking it over; and some of
them are coming nearer to an under
standing, if not exactly of what has
been said in the note and its sue
cession of explanations, at least of
what is in the mind of the American
public. German comment indicates
less of enthusiasm and of easy con-
viction that the American move is
entirely calculated to make this

ARMlNG ALL THE MERCHANT
MEN

II has seemed for long time in
evitable, in view Of the increasingly
drastic methods of the German SUBJ
marine war, that the allies would
adopt the plan Of arming all mer-
chant ships. Then, indeed, will IL be
war to the knife. The submarine,
deadly as its well aimed blow from
beneath the wave, Is n peculiarly vul-
nerable craft. II Is said that a one
FOUNDER machine gun can put sub
marine out Of business with one we'll
directed shot; and these guns are
made TO fire as high as 300 shots n
minute. Highly trained gun crews
handling pieces fore and aft would
make the work Of the submarine far
more hazardous than II has ever been
before.
Perhaps II is true, as reported,
that the British maritime authorities
intend to place six-inch guns on all
the liners; but there is testimony that
they need not employ nearly so large
ordnance. OF course, the Germans,
as they have already indicated, would
reply TO this move by discontinuing
the pretense Of hailing, examining
papers, and giving opportunity 10 re-
move crew and passengers. They
would deliver their torpedo on sight,
and escape without delay. Never in
the days Of piracy on the Spanish
Main, Of the black flag, and the walk
ing Of the plank. has there been
such n reign Of frightfulness on the
seas as this development would in
augurate.
Under such a program Of warfare,
mistakes would be more easily made
than heretofore. Despite all their
recklessness about attacking the
ships Of other neutrals, the Germans
have thus far displayed an i'm
pressive capacity to avoid American
ships. The fact. indeed, that ves-
sells under the Stars and Stripes have
been so fortunate, is one reason why
the minor neutrals are growing more
and more bitter against the German
submarine methods.
IL IL be true that the Germans are
now commissioning three TO five new
submarines weekly, then the warfare
is destined to be carried on with a
terrific fierceness on both sides. Part
of the new Lloyd George program,
it is said, is TO keep British liners
away from ports Of the United
States. Freight and passengers will
be sent TO Halifax and transshipped.
Thus will be avoided the possibility
of the American Government ,Oject-
ing to armed merchantmen resorting
to American ports. The distance by
salt water will be very considerably
reduced; high-speed cruisers will be
stationed along the sea lanes, their
locations known to the commanders
of merchant ships. The use of wire
less signals will be forbidden in or
der that submarines may not pick up
information as to the location of pos
sible victims; and all publication of
news about movements Of shipping
will be stopped.
