Many German Prisoners

"Trainloads of wounded go through
every day. We are only just on the
edge of things, but close enough to
know that real war is being Waged.
German prisoners are brought i'll by
the hundreds. Some of our men can
speak German. In talking to the pris-
Oners, they (the prisoners) say that
we are not Americans, but only Eng
lishmen in disguise; that London has
been blown up and New York raided;
also that the United States could not
get any men over on account Of the
submarines; that we will not be ready
to get into the war for two or three
years. So | am afraid there is a very
painful awakening for them before
long.
"Three German prisoners who at
tempted to escape and were caught
have to march eight hours a day with
loads on their backs, as punishment.
They keep saying over and Over-in
fact, make a kind of marching song of
Wen get you yet, We'll get you yet
and they certainly look as if they
would do it with pleasure to them
selves.

lowed to know and how they are being
lied to-"

tion Of the story in 8 Chicago paper Of
the talk about VIII H. Hays. chairman
Of the republican state committee and
chairman OF the state council Of de-
Tense, for republican national commit
tee chairman, did not come as q sur
prise for it has been talked in this
state for several months and reference
70 the probability Of ehis appointment
has been mentioned in these dispatches
For a long ttme friends and admirers
Of Mr.. Hays have pointed him out a.
being the most available man in the
country for the national craftsmanship
because or his broad experience N
political affairs and his reputation as
political organizer.
No other state in the union has
more thorough repu blican organization
than Indiana. and ii has All come about
since Mr. Hays became state chairman.
This casts no reflection on former state
chairmen. but they did not have the
peculiar and trying situation TO deal
with that has confronted Hays IN the
two campaigns in which he has led the
Indiana republicans.
1t is under his leadership that the
republican party in Indiana has been
thoroughly reorganized and cemented
together since the break occurred IN
1912. He has ma intaned friendly at
titude toward those republicans who
affiliated with the progressive party in
1912. and this attitude on his part has
been responsible for his success in
bringing about a new alignment. He
worked day and night month after
month on this task, and in the most
diplomatic but effective manner he
brought the elements together once
more and made them into solid par
~. His ability as an organize ras at
tracted the attention Of politicians
throughout the country. and newspa-
pers and magazines have published
many articles about him and his work
So complete has been his work along

THE American soldier in the army

That is Lieutenant J. A. Graham's
comment on Uncle Sans custody Of

that wild horses couldn't drag him out

one who deserves the praise. says the
lieutenant. is the female army nurse
She works twelve and more hours a

work in one day than she would in civil
ian practice ill week.
An interesting feature Of the work
at Camp pike where $4,000 hen are
, stationed. is the tracing of meningitis
carriers When a man is taken TO the
hospital with that disease the name of
his regiment and branch Of service is
learned and experts from the Rockc-
Teller institute make smears Of The
nose and throat of every man in his
company or regiment. In this way they
locate the man who is carrying the
germ that causes meningitis. Tho

bugs" have been exterminated.
The lieutenant states that the rca-
son measles are SO prevalent in the
camps is because majority Of the sol-
diers are from tho farms where they
were not exposed to the disease in
their childhood.

ion has = stair Of fifty doctors and fr-

exemption boards arc sending some
mighty poor specimens which gave rise
to the report that one man was

Harry 5. New and ali Of the other state
leaders Of former days are once again

persons may regard this somewhat
remarkable lineup, because Of the var

scented in il. yet il is additional evil
dence Of the clever and effective work
that has been done in the direction Of
remakng and reforming the party ia
Indiana. While in some states the old
factions may stnl be scrapping. there
is not any new scrap among the old
Indiana republican factions.
Governor Goodrich has done his part
also. in this work along with Chair
man Hays. through recognition OF no
fractional lines IN the party when it
comes 70 picking men for important
state offices and positions. Fer in
stance. just recently he picked Paul
Haynes OF Anderson. for member OF

There IS another angle 70 the pres
ent situation IN Indiana also that has
been pretty widely discussed. and that
IS that there is q strong sentiment IN
favor of the nomination Of Governor
Goodrich for president IN 1920. Indi-
ana would fare pretty well, r 0Tr
Hayes were elected national chairman
and the governor were nominated for
