The Police Judge

The fact that the sale of intoxicating liquor
will be absolutely prohibited in Indiana after next
April should be considered in connection with the
proposed ordinance creating the office Of city
Judge. It is well recognized and the police rec
ords of Richmond will show, that the great ma
jority of arrests are caused from the excessive
use of intoxicating liquor. Men drinking liquor
to excess get drunk in public they use profanity
in public, they engage in fights and do various
acts in violation of law which but for the liquor
they would not do. The abolition of liquor will
decrease crime and lessen the business of the po-
lice court With less violation of the law there
then becomes less demand for city judge Well
conducted private enterprises do not add men as
their business decreases. No private corporation
would give an officer an assistant in April, 1918
if that officer in such month was to have less
work than he had before. The rules of good bust
ness for private corporation are likewise good
rules for municipal corporation. It may be said
that with the passing of the saloons will come
blind tigers" and by reason thereof the police
and prosecutor will have more work, but even if
this is true, it will not make more work for the
city court for the prosecutor will handle his
blind tiger cases in the Circuit Court where he
will have a grand jury to make his Investigations
and where when a case is contested there can be
no appeal except to the Supreme Court of the
State.
But not only will the passing Of the saloon
make less business for the city court, it will cur
tail the city's revenue The loss to the city of
license fees from the saloons may cause deficit
in public funds. The councilman then who votes
for the city judge ordinance must explain why
he creates an office for which there will be less
demand than ever before, and for which the city
will have less with which to pay than ever before.
Mr. Councilman, in your own business, would

Conservation
of Foodstuffs

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2.-Persons
inexperienced In the canning OF food
stuffs may have trouble which lit
tie precauuon will prevent, DR.. H. E.
Barnard, state food and drug commits
sioner says. A statement on the sub
ject issued by him follows:
"A full supply Of fruits and vege-
tables canned from the surplus stocks
that would otherwise waste in fields
and orchards is the ambition of thou
sands OF housewives who for years
have neglected the preserving kettle.
The food they can is their contribu.
ton to the conservation OF our food
supply.
Care VIII Stop Waste
Careful adherence to the rules OF
canning will prevent spoilage. The
home economics expert OF the Ohio
State University has pointed out some
OF the difficulties that the inexperi-
efced Gamer will meet.
"Rubbers popping out from beneath
the top during sterilization may be
due to poor rubber, to too large rub
Der or to too much pressure from the
top. The top and rubber must be re-
moved, a new rubber and top placed
and the jar returned to the Gamer for
about minutes.
"Spoilage may result from the use
of old rubbers; from keeping jars in
a place that has alternately cold and
warm temperatures; from breaking
the seal OF jars by attempting to
tighten the tops after the can has
cooled.
Circulation Is Needed
Jars may break when there is not
free circulation Of water about the
cans; when a cold can is placed In
hot water; or hot can in cold wa
ter; when can is placed in cool
draft.
"Shrinkage Of vegetables may be
caused by insufficient blanchirg.
AN Objectionable strong flavor may
be due to improper blanching and cold
dipping.
Bubbles that show after steriliza-
ton do not affect the keeping quail
ties Of the product.
Cloudy appearance Of the liquid
in the cans may be due merely to
overlooking which forces out the In
terror OF the product, or to very hard
water.
Stand Too Long
Flat souring OF corn. peas, beans
and asparagus is a condition giving a
slightly sour taste and Objectionable
odor, and may be due to allowing
the vegetables to stand too long. AS
soon as each jar Is filled 1t should be
set in the Gamer so that cooking Is
not delayed
"OvercooNng may not always be
Objectionable, but it Is likely to hap
pen with fruits which require a short
time for sterilization. Cooking Is go
ing on while the water is coming to
the boiling point, and II this time is
prolonged some deduction should be
made from the time given for sterili-
xatiou."

When the war began, In 1914, most
Americans regarded themselves as in

concern them in their own dearest
honor and possessions did not for one
moment enter their minds. But Mr..
Rathom knew otherwise. He had tray

Marine Cried When Illness
Caused Him to Leaue France

II a pretty dark-eyed, dark-haired
French girl threw her arms around
your neck, cried little and then kiss
ed you, just after you had landed In
French seaport would you want to
return TO the United States very
soon?
F. A. Routh. Richmond man, who
was with the first United States ma
rines to land in France with General
Pershing's forces. didn't Routh is a
son of e. C. Routh, 201 Randolph
street.
And Routh, who is in Richmond on
thirty days leave OF absence because
of illness, cried when he was told, af-
ter landing in France, that he was too
i'll to remain and would be returned
to one of the naval hospitals in the
United States for treatment
But 1t wasn't just because OF the
pretty girls that he wanted to remain
in France. He had just come from
this side of hell" as he calls Hayti,
where he had been serving, before he
was sent to France, and he wanted to
see active fighting on French soil.
Glad to Leave.
Routh, while serving in Hayti, the
little country in the Straits Settle
ment near Cuba with an addiction to
revolutions, contracted yellow fever.
When his regiment of marines were
ordered to leave the revolutionary
cotAtry. all were happy because it
meant trip to France.
1t was believed that he would be
able to go with his fellow marines.
But when they arrived in France he
was too ill and was sent back to this
country.
Had Rputh remained In France he
would now be in active service on the
great firing line
"The French people went wild when
the Americans landed" Routh said
French girls and women kissed the
soldiers as they marched along,
marching by their sides to the music
Of big band playing the Marseillaise
and the StarSpangled Banner"

formerly lived in New Paris, is also

EACERNESS OF

OFFICERS TO

Private Secretary of Ameri-
can General, Visiting in
Milton, Tells How Soldiers
Hone for Action.
HE VISITED THE FRONT

MILTON, Ind, Nov. 30.-American
soldiers in France were not stationed
in first-line trenches for a long time
because they were too eager to get at
the Boche, according to Vernon
Thompson, who is visiting in Milton,
who returned about ten days ago from
the French front.
Thompson is the private secretary
Of Major General Greble. who was sent
to France by the war department on
an observation trip. General Greble is
now in Washington
French and American military au-
thorities now in France feared to put
the Americans in the first line of
trenches at the start because it was
believed they would do something
rash. Now their officers must keep
close watch on American soldiers to
keep them from foolhardy risks.
Soldiers, returning from the trench
es, give varied opinions as to when
the war will be concluded. Mr..
Thompson says.
Some Say In Spring.
French and some American soldiers
believe that with the concentration of
all forces, including the forces of the
many people who will not be compell-
ed to shoulder rife, may bring the
war near its end sometime in the
spring.
Canadian and English soldiers, some
of them wounded, all war-weary,
though glad to be serving their coun-
try and more than willing to fight to
the finish, believe that the war may be
prolonged for several years.
But all of them agree that the sue
cess of the troops at the front de-
pends in large measure on the con-
centration of the forces OF the coun-
try at home.

GUARD UNITS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

guardsmen from every state in the
Union have arrived in France, 1t is
today permitted to be announced.
They are among the troops now train
ing, or lately arrived.
While 1t Is not permitted to disclose
the identity Of units, 1t may be said
that all those which sailed from the
United States have arrived safely and
that some already are in training with
in sound Of the guns on the battle
front.
The guardsmen have been arriving
in the American zone for many weeks.
They are scattered somewhat, but as
far as possible the units from the same
state have been kept close together,
except In one case. They found the
regular army had made good prepara-
tions for them and while many are
billeted in houses in French towns

The guardsmen are all in good
health The reason why it is not per-
nitted to mention units by name is
that IL one is mentioned the way is
open to mention all others, which
means the revealing OF Identification
numbers and other information which
Is of importance to the enemy.
But for the. information Of the rela-
tives aud families OF the men, every

GERMANY IS
PREPARED TO
TALK PEACE
WITH RUSSIA
Chancellor Won Hertling Tells
Reichstag Extremists Have
Only to Send Delegates to
Berlin.
SAYS TEUTONS WIN
(By Associated Press)

Germany is ready to discuss peace
with Russia II ENJOYS with full powers
are sent to Berlin. Count Won Hert-
ling, the new imperial chancellor, de-
clared yesterday before the reichstag.
He exressed the wish that the pres
ent efforts of the Bolsheviki would
bring peace.
In a review of the military situation.
the chancellor said that the armies OF
the central powers have been general
ly successful and that the submarine
warfare was successful and that the
allies were unable to make progress
against it.
The chancellor declared that the CEN
trail powers still stood by their answer
to the peace note OF the pope He
said that the central powers were not
resonsible for the prclongation of the
war and, held out as a warning to
others "the glorious advance" into
Italy.
Apparently the chancellor did not
state Germany's peace terms specifical-
ly nor did he mention the reichstag
resolution in favor of peace, without
annexations and indemnities.
Progressive Reioiees.
DSpuly rISHDeCh, progressive,
said he rejoieed at the chancellor's
words regarding the Russian offer Of
a peaceful rapprochement and declar-
ed that the chancellor's policy was
calculated to pave the way for reci-
procal confidence
The collapse of the Italian army.
Herr Stresemann, National Liberal,
declared was a merited punishment
for the Italian government and means
the collapse of Italian hopes for Aus
trian territory.
Count Won Westarp, Conservative,
declared that the successful demand
for the dismissal of DR.. Michaehs
from the chancellorship signified a
serious attack on the emperors con-
stitutional rights and this Limitation
Of the emperor's rights has been
shown more clearly by the dismissal
Of DR.. Helfferich, the vice chancellor.
Even In the appointment Of Count
Won Hertling. he added, the emperor's
freedom OF decision seems to have
been maintained insufficiently.
The Russian offer must be given
full Importance, Herr Haase, Inde-
pendent Socialist, declared, but a sep
arate peace with Russia is not enough.
He added: we want a general peace
without annexation east or west"

the American aero fleet have arrived
behind the front in France. Many of
the former guardsmen already are un-
dergoing training within sound of the
guns at the front. Meanwhile Amer
lean aviators are training actively
with the American troops.
Lenlne's Regime Ended.
Conditions in Russia apparently re-
main greatly unsettled. 1t is reported
that Lenine's government has given
way to socialist coalition cabinet, in
which the Bolsheviki are represented.
On the various war fronts there has
been little change. Heavy artillery ac-
dvity continues in the Ypres sector.
No infantry actions Of importance are
reported from the Italian front but
the opposing cannon are very busy.
