LOuisville's Selection for Cantonment Is Not
 Pleasing to Indiana

Washington, June 2s.-At the instance of Senator New of Indiana, the Senate today called on the war department for the rec ords on which it decided to select Louis vile, Ky, for the cantonment at which Indiana and Kentucky troops will be trained Several places in Indiana con- tended unsuccessfully for the site.
 Charges that political influence had been potent in locating the site, were contained in a newspaper article read by Senator New in support of his resolution. He insisted that he, himself, was making no charges.
 Senator Weeks predicted that there might be similar desolutions from places which had failed to get cantonments unless the government took hold of this situation and satisfied the people.

Treason of Thought
BY or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The United States is fortunate, in one
respect at least, in having for its elected
chief in this great crisis a scholar, a man
from the university, the field of ideas.
and not from the more materialistic field
of business.
Because what a people need in such
time is not only some one who can direct
hem in military preparedness, organiza-
Gon of manufacture and transportation,
and other matters of national housekeep-
ug, but some one who can give them in-
pirational leadership.
Mr. Wilson changed the whole tenor Of
this war, won over to his support all pa
cifists whose pacifsm was not mere
lanatical obsession, and brought out a
vast current of sound sentiment when he
coined the happy phrase TO make tina
world safe for democracy"
At bottom this is world-war Of ideas.
Rival systems of thought are locked in
a life and death embrace, and the phys
zeal struggle of the weltering armies is
but "the outward and visible sign Of an
inward and spiritual contest
II is well 10 have able generals in the
field at the head of our fighters; but ft
is even more essential 70 have able spirit

populace TO the unseen standards Of the

attack Of savage hordes upon civilization.

If we had over here the German
thought, that our activities simply
amounted to a desire TO crush Germany,
or the made-in-Germany thought that
England was merely using her allies to
advance her own selfish aims and destroy
German commercial competition, We
never would have gone in
We hear talk of freedom Of opinion

Consulting His Interests
Again, u. S. Should Keep
TrOtzkys Where They Are

Leon Trotzky foreign minister OF
the Bolsbevd rebel government, IS peev-
cd with the United States.
He asserts that this country entered
the war solely to advance It's financial in
terests thru Fastening the exhaustion OF
Europe"
Having spent some months IN America
a. reporter on an east-side newspaper
at a salary of twelve dollars per week,
Mr.. Trotzky's standing as finance ex-
pert and an authority ON American affairs
is Of course unimpeachabe
His real understanding Of America and
her motives was Of course enhanced by
the fact that during his sojoum in New
York he was the especial pet Of the ex-
IRENE radical faction among New York
German socialists.
Those exceptional qualifications, OF
course, lend such weight to Mr. Trotzky 8
statements that the mere fact that the
United states is spending its own re-
sources to the extent of S21, 000000,000
in its supposed effort to achieve the ex-
haustion Of Europe can carry no weight
against them.
But we are disappointed in Mr.. Trotz-
ky
II would seem that common gratitude
would lead him to be a bit lenient with
our shortcomings.
But gratitude, We dare say. is vice of
the bourgeois.
Mr.. Trotzky was not appreciated in
Europe. He first gained prominence dur
ing the Russian revolution of 1905, where
he advanced revolutionary theories far in
advance of the most radical Russian
thinkers.
He was sent to Siberia for a time, but
was soon released and began touring Eu-
rope for the purpose of stirring up revo-
lutionary propaganda.
His activities made him quite well
known, and in the course of time the
authorities of nearly every European
country began to regard his visits with
about the same enthusiasm with which
they would have welcomed fight of IT.
year locusts.
Only in this country did Mr.. Trotzly
prosper. He wrote and talked at will,
and left voluntarily.
The great mass Of Americans never
heard of him during his sojourn and
cared less.
In this manner he was enabled TO plot
at ease and he easily secured passport
to Russia.
In return for which Mr. Trotzky be-
rates Uncle Sam, who protected him from
the wrath Of the Gar as the chief Grim
inal of the world war.
We hope that Uncle will learn from
this amiable young man. and in the future
see that Mr.. Trotzky and his co-workers
in the cause of chaos are provided with
free transportation home within "a hours
of their landing on American soil.
