HURTY IN
PLEA To
TRUSTEES
CBy United Press.)

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. IS
Pleading for proper medical inspec-
ton in schools to eliminate prevent
able diseases among children, N j.
Hurry. state health commissioner, to-
day urged school and township trus-
tees 10 prepare for the coming open
ing Of school BY taking steps to safe
guard the health OF the children.
The greatest loss in efficiency in
our schools today is due 70 physical
waste. Accurate statistics show that
fully rs per cent OF our school chill
dren~have diseased threats with in
fected tonsils and adenoids IS per
cent are defective in syesight; 10 per
cent are deficient in hearing Added
70 these are thousands of school chill
dren with tuberculosis. anemia. heart
weakness, poor nutrition. fiat feet.
skin diseases. constipation. nervous
disorders and so forth.
Most OF these things can be pre-
vented and would be prevented II par
ents only knew about them. Proper
medical inspection would find these
cases so that parents would know
In the school year 1855 the
school children OF Indiana lost 5000. 600
days from school because Of prevent
able sickness. 1t cost the taxpayers
of the state twenty three and one
half cents for each school child each
school day to maintain the schools
ThetaNpayers therefore lost $3.50. 600
because of sickness that might easily
have been prevented among school
children. This enormous loss goes on
every year
Indiana has a medical inspection
law under which any trustee can do
something to check this loss and
waste. The legislature recommends
trustees to institute medical inspection

directs the following letter Of appeal
to township trustees:

Editor TINES:
Dear Sir: AS son Of a Civil war
veteran. am pleased to note g world
wide movement for international peace.
Some men think there must be billions
more dollars appropriated by their re-
spective governments, and millions more
young men killed. before we should
start to talk peace.
Nothing could be more infamous than
TO call unpatriotic the man who sim
cerely works 10 end the war.
The lives Of American boys are too
precious. too sacred to be lost, If pos
sible to save.
The militarists in Europe, who start
ed the war, and know its real cause; are
admitting the war must be settled some
time in the future.
Why not at once? Before there is
millions more sons of loving parents.

wooden legs. or in their graves.
Ny soul is gratifed to know that Sem
ators Borah. Sherman, LaFollette and
others have started a peace movement.
Call them politicians If you desire,
but if they are, politicians declare war;
and politicians must settle the war;
The great Indian. Chief Joseph. must
have been a wise man. yet he had no
university education.
Friends, please read his following
verse carefully:
Here me. my warriors: my heart is
sick and sad.
Our chiefs are killed.
The old men are all dead,
1t is cold and we have no blankets;
The little children are freezing to
death
Hear me, my warriors. my heart is sick
and sad;
From where the sun now stands I will

GRENADIERS

In the Paul Revere poem which
you can read In the Junior today,
Mr.. Longfellow talks about "0rena-
diers." Now. Of course. not many
children and maybe there are
grown.ups who do not know what
Il means. "0renadiers" are sol.

powder.
The shells are called grenades.

saw the funniest kind OF low flat
boats with q big sort Of paddle
wheel In the middle that looked al
most like a big egg beater. And
on one Of these boats we saw two
boys having more fun trailing .
line In the water behind the boat.
As we came on into New Jersey,
all along ON both sides OF the rail-
road were all kinds of funny signs.
One kind that We saw ever so
many times was group Of three
huge big black and white cows
made out Of wood, and on them
were the three words "HOrlick's
Matted MIX"
And as we passed one field after
another where the ground looked
so red wondered why they had
brick dust all over everywhere. un-
til finally I remembered that that
was simply the famous New Jersey
soil which is SO good for sweet
potatoes. Here the boys and girls
were out in their gardens bare
footed working as hard as YOU

ed one beautiful big house where
they had plowed up parts OF their

Well we are working to help win
this terrible war. We are doing
everything we can to make money,

raised lots Of money in this way to
buy material and then we make It
up and send It to the Red Cross in
London, England. Whence they
send it to France or wherever It Is
most needed. We have a large red
cross room where we work every
day and We have q large member
ship. We have lot Of people who
have life memberships. We have
a canvass for members each year
and last year We got sixteen thou
sand dollars In one day. We have
about nine thousand population and
we are all doing our bit. We make
everything they use in hospitals.
Our young men have nearly ell
gone and many have died on the
fields In France. It is terrible. We
had q minute tea and all the guests
paid cent Z minute and 1t was lots
OF fun. We must have q little fun

Recalls Assurances Given
BY Germany.

I'm reply to this declaration the inn
perial German government gave this
government the following assurance:
1.-THE German government is pre-
pared to do its utmost to confine the
operations Of the war for the rest of
its duration to the fighting forces of
the belligerents, thereby also assuring
the freedom of the seas, principle
upon which the German government
believes, now as before, to be in agree
ment with the government of the
United States.
The German government, guided
by this idea, notifies the government
of the United States that the German
naval forces have received the follow
ing orders: In accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
and destruction of merchant vessels
recognized by international law, such
vessels, both within and without the
area declared as naval war zone,
declared as naval war zone, shall not
be sunk without warning and without
saving human lives, unless these ships
attempt to escape or offer resistance.
But, it added, 'neutrals cannot
expect that Germany, forced to fight
for her existence, hall, for the sake of
neutral interests, strict the use of an
effective weapon If her enemy is per-
mitted TO continue 10 apply ut will
methods of warfare violating the rules
of international law. Such demand
would be incOmpatii e with the char
acter of neutrality, aud the German
government is convinced that the gov
eminent of the United States does not
think of making such demand,
knowing that the government of the
United States has repeatedly declared
that ii is determined 10 restore the
principle of the freedom of the seas,
from whatever quarter it has been vio-
lated
