INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. i.
p. Goodrich, governor
of Indiana, dared political death
and endangered his health to win
a better living for his people. He
fought the wheat spectators,
brought the coal barons to terms
and was speeding along toward
other reforms when overwork
stopped him. He is In a hospital
here, recovering his health and
planning his next drive to make
living for the poor endurable.
Originally a machine man and
reactionary, Gov. Goodrich sur
prised the state by turning radi-
cal. He investigated coal condi-
tons and gave the federal trade
the valuable informa-
ton that led to- the governments

Letters From Hexamer and
From German Red Cross
Give Affair New Aspect

Letters have been received by the
local branch of the German American
Alliance which materially change the
news OF resolutions said TO have been
adopted throughout the mainland at
meetings of the many branches recent
ly and which caused great interest
in Honolulu because OF their marked
difference from resolutions adopted by
the local branch. .>".. ~. .......@.-. r..
Both letters are in German but q
general liberal translation was volun-
teered by c. Bette, secretary Of the
German-American Alliance here. who
also voluntarily surrendered the let
ters for translation.
One is from c. J. He"amer, p-esi.
dent of the German American Alliance
Of the United States Of America, who
denies that he ever offered regiments
OF the organization for action in event
of war with Germany and the United
States, declaring that he himself as a
citizen and a native of the United
States was always ready to give his
service and his life If il needs be fer
the Stars and Stripes against any foe
but that it was not in his power to Of
fer others, H.. -. n
The second letter was from John
Tjarks, chief collector for the German
American Red Cross Of America, an
organization affiliated with the Ger
man American Alliance but not identi-
cal with it. This letter discredited to
a certain extern. another report that
went out at the time which said the
Alliance had passed resolution turn
ing oTer to thu American Red Gross;
all the funds of the German Red Cross.
What really was done took place at
a meeting of the state collectors of the
German Red Cross, not st a meeting
of the German American Alliance,
when 1t was decided that should war
be declared between the United States
and Germany soliciting funds for SINH.
lar work would still be carried on by
their organization but such subserip-
tons would be turned over to the
American Rcd Cross
On the other hand tie German Red
Cross did not vote, as was stated. that
funds on hand or outstanding pledges
for the German Red Cross would be
given to the American Institution but
decided that such money should be
sent to Germany even. after war had
been declared.

PUT ARMY UPON
FIGHTING BASIS
KerenSky Will Maintain Iron
Discipline and Expresses
Confidence in the
Result.
(By Associated Press.)

Evidences are multiplying that the
most energetic efforts are about to
be made to rehabilitate Russia's great
army and make it again an effective,
aggressive fighting force.
The government expresses its con-
yiction that the Russian army will
not suffer the Germans to destroy
Russia's western allies.
Minister of War Kerensky, in as
suming his NV post, announces his in
tention of maintaining an iron disci-
pine among the troops and expresses
confidence in the result.
The recent intensive fighting on the
British front in France has subsidized
and the activities along the French
lines III the, Aisne region are con-
fined mainly to counter attacks by the
Germans.
The Italian offensive, with Trieste
for its objective, is therefore being
watched with perhaps more interest
than any of the other vast military
operations in progress.
General Cadorna's armies have a
heavy task before them, with the
cream of Austria's fighting forces de-
Tending the naturally strong defen-
sive positions i'll the Isonzo region.
The Italians, however, ADMITTEDLY are
making progress, having already
taken more than 5000 prisoners and
numerous guns, while the Austrian
reports claim the capture of some
5000 nriSonerS.
