in the war General Roques won the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and the War Cross. His appointment to the head of the war ministry was very popular, as the people of France have great confidence in his ability and military sagacity. General Ro- ques believes that young officers are most efficient, and he recently de- cIared that the oldest general of the French army now in active service is Sixty-four.

THSTLETHWAITE
MAY Be DELEGATE
FOR DEMOCRATS

Glenn Thistlethwaite of this city
wants to be one of the two delegates
from the Sixth Indiana congressional
district TO the Democratic national
in June, and his desire will be graft
fed If the Wayne county delegation
to the Democratic state convention,
which meets this week in indianapolis,
can turn the trick for him. lnciden-
tally there is not the slightest doubt
that the trick can be turned.
So far as known Thistlethwaite will
have no opposition. He has always
been an active Democrat and is a
staunch supporter of President Wilson.
The district delegates will be selected
at a district cacus to be held in Ind
annapolis the evening before the state
convention.
At meeting Saturday of Wayne
county delegates to the Democratic
state convention Joshua Allen of this
city, was elected delegation chairman.
All delegates were unanimous for
Thomas Taggart as the short term
senatorial nomination although Tag
CART recently announced that he did
not desire the nomination. 1t was
agreed by the Wayne delegates that
Taggart was the strongest candidate
for the short term senatorship their
party could offer and they are pre-
pared to back him to the limit. They
are convinced that Taggart will not
decline the nomination if it is offered
to him.

no authentic information has been re-
ceiyed by Ambassador Gerard as to
the expected stand of the German gov
eminent. He has sent a summary of
editorial comment, and definite ac-
count of his reception at the Berlin
foreign office. But he has emphasized
that the decision of the German en-

himself. and that no one has any idea
as yet what the decision will be.
1t is understood here that by direc-
tion of the president, Ambassador Ger

ernment can not consent to any long
drawn out parleys over the latest note.
1t calls for direct answer, the for

but such a reply will be received as
satisfactory.
A matter of grave concern in off

RURAL CARRIERS
COVER ROUTES
WITHOUT HELP

For the first time since the new
motorized rural route system has been
in operation, rural route carriers from
the local office have covered routes
without the aid of assistants, and all
returned to the office before 1 o'clock
this afternoon.
This only shows what can be done"
said Postmaster Beck. There is no
doubt but that the system is a sue
cess and farmers will admit it now.
BY far larger majority of the farm
ers are getting their mail earlier than
they did under the old system"
Mr.. Beck said that under the old
horse-drawn system, the carriers, even
in good weather, did not return to the
office much sooner than 8 o'clock,
and many times they returned too late
to get in their money orders. He
said that the new carriers are now
accustomed to their routes. and know
just what they have TO do. All are
satisfied. he said and the system Is
working much better than was ex-
pected Good roads in most parts of
the county served out Of the local
office is one factor in making the sys-
tenn a success, he said.
