Systematizing War Contributions

That system must be devised whereby an
accurate list of contributions for patriotic and re-
lief purposes will be kept to show who are the
givers and who are the slackers is becoming in
creasingly apparent.
Committees that solicit for funds usually use
the old lists, the result being that the same pa
triotic donors always called on. Names not
on the list are being overlooked.
There are in every community hundreds of
persons who do not feel it incumbent to give UNI
less they are solicited They will not bring the
sacrifice voluntarily but pride themselves on
their ability to dodge the solicitors.
There are others whose gifts in nowlse
in proportion to their wealth. giving rise to the
complaint of many persons in ordinary circum-
stances that they in reality bear the burden.
Contributions to the various causes for which
solicitations have been made in Wayne county
have meant real sacrifices to many persons.
1t is not fair that these persons constantly
answer the appeals that are made, while others,
more fortunately situated, escape because they
are too niggardly and penurious to announce
their names, or give sums that are ridiculously
small and insignificant.
The Indiana State Council of Defense has
taken up this problem. A number of plans that
have been put into operation in other counties
are before the Council. 1t announces that it is
studying their merits and will formulate system
that will obvate the shortcomings of the I'M
systematic plans now in vogue in most of the
counties of the state.
A recent statement of the Defense Council
says:
One of the sane and timely plans growing out
of the work of the State Council of Defense,
and County Defense Councils and their affiliated
and associated patriotic organizations, is the
scheme for creating permanent organization in
each county to conduct the various war time cam
paigns for funds.
In the meantime the State Council of Defense
assisted by the Vigo County Council of Defense
is studying plan used at Peoria, ILL.,, where pa
triotic citizens subscribe to central or general
permanent county war fund, agreeing to pay
stated sum monthly into the fund, the money
thus gathered being used as required to meet the
countys quota for the Red Triangle for the Red
Cross and for other ends, including the War
Library Fund, the Camp Mess and Comfort
Fund, etc.
In this same connection the State Council of
Defense is considering the feasibility and utility
of Henry County idea, now being put in effect
and operation by the Henry County Council of
Defense This Henry County system includes
card index of citizens who have contributed to
various funds with record of each persons
patriotic offerings, his possibilities and what
ought to be expected from him from time to time
S!ackers, or those who refuse to help win the
war, are carefully indexed and especially report
cd for proper treatment at the hands of the De-
Tense Council.

CULTIvATING IDLE LANDS.

|, Chicago Post: Cultivate the soil' IS
the new and significant slogan in Eng
land. At last the broad acres of landed
estates are going to be made to serve
the needs of the people instead Of the
pleasures Of their titled owners. Vast
lawns of velvet turf and unframed
stretches of game preserves will bear
their harvests Of grain and vegetables.
England must make herself Independent
of the seas that girt her for the feed
ing of her people. There will be lawns
again in England and beds of old-fash-
ioned posies. It would be sad if there
were not. But never will there be the
acres of idle soil that have INDUCED the
selfish whims of privilege. This must
be accounted among the great reforms
that the evil Of war is working.

Alleged That He Gave Military Infor-

These charges accuse General Sioux.
hUmlinoff with neglecting, while war
minister, to stimulate the production of
ammunition, with the result that the
army was short of it.
1t also is charged that Soukhomlinoff
communicated military information to
German and Austrian spies in the years
1911 and 1912, and similar information
to two civilians.
The indictment alleges that General
Soukhomlinoff's wife aided and abetted
him.
General Soukhomlinoff resigned as
minister of war in June, 1915, and was
arrested the following May on charges
of criminal neglect and high treason

charges against him and laid the blame
against cabinet ministers and duma

The minister was confined in the st.

The next mention Of Soukhomlinoff
was shortly after the outbreak of the
recent revolution, when dispatches an.
nounced that he had been arrested by
revolutionary forces and incarcerated
in the st. Peter and st. Paul fortress.
1t was said he narrowly escaped lynch
