LansdoWne Determined.
THE Lansdowne letter has been
thought by some to indicate some
weakening of determination on the
part of this country, some change OF
attitude. I believe any such impress

is de1usion as far as the actual gov
eminent of England is concerned, and
I believe that the British people as a
whole, including Lord Lansdowne him
self, are more determined than ever to
bring the war to a victorious conclus-
ion.
Il see that it is being alleged with
certain degree of FEASIBILITY that
there are many points in which Lord
LansdoWne Is in agreement with
President Wilson's message That
may be so. But in the case of the
Presidents message there breathes
through every line not only a determ-
ination to Win-for in that there is no
difference between the two men-but
also certainty of victory. President
Wilson's message has an Inspiration of
leadership which Lansdowne's letter

Robert Cecil In statement for the
Associated Press today. They have

Just as truly as did the worshippers
Of Baal against whom the prophets OF
the Bible preached.
sGermany's idol fs the state. They
place the state above religion, above
morality, above all laws of God or

lotto Kahn. himself a German by
origin, has defined this State-idolatry
as the demoniacal obsession Of power

At Bottom Of War.
This idolatry is at the bottom of
our whole fight against Germany. It
is the secret Of the whole revolving
list of outrages and atrocities which
Germany has committed against the
civilized world. The violation of Bel
GUM. the Armenian atrocities, the un-
speakable horrors of submarine war
fare-all these are the outcome of a
creed which holds that no laws Of
morality are binding when the defense
of the state-idol is at stake.
'NThe results of this violating OF the
foundations Of morality by Germany
are bound to be colossal and far
reaching. They mean the degeneracy
Of the whole German structure. and
the effects are already seen in the
wave of crime and immortality which
is sweeping over Germany. So long
as the governing classes are infected
with this doctrine there is no limit to
the wickedness and cruelty which will
be put into execution. 1t means the

ocrats in Hendricks county are refus-
ing to accept the office of township
trustee, left vacant by the death last
week of Louis p. Rose. Mr.. Rose shot
and killed himself. His predecessor,
Samuel Mcclure, ended his life by
hanging The place has been offered
to three men, but all three rejected it
Immediately and refused to consider
the place. A superstition seems to
have spread over the township that an

tee in Hendricks township. County
Auditor Frank Fagel is continuing his
efforts to get a man for the place.

LIBRARY BOOKS

Mrs. Ada L. Bernhard, Morrisson-

whose homes there have been cases
of small pox, diphtheria, or scarlet fe
yer, to return books at once for de.
struction. No charges will be made
against the patron for the books that
are destroyed.
The librarian is destroying these
books to prevent contagion spreading
to other readers. Fumigation OF books
to exterminate disease germs IS not
successful, she says, and destruction
is the only safeguard.
She asks cooperation from all pa
irons. II you have had infectious dis

Eat More Corn

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 11.-Dr.
Harry E. Barnard, Federal Food
Administrator for Indiana, says
EAT MORE CORN" He offers the
following suggestion to retailers
for effective lines for advertising
corn and encouraging its increased
consumption The head lines in
each case should be:
THE UNITED STATES FOOD AD.
MlNlSTRATioN SAYS:
1. The best way to take care of
our enormous corn crop is to eat
it.
Q Corn is the original Ameri-
can grain. 1t saved our pioneers,
it will save US now. EAT MORE
CORN.
The surplus of corn this year
over any previous year is greater
than this years entire wheat crop.
Corn cannot be economically ship
ped to Europe. WE MUST EAT
MORE CORN HERE.
5. Corn is King in America to-
day. One-third of all out land I'M
der cultivation is in corn. EAT
MORE CORN.
6. We cannot send corn to Eu-
rope because:
a. The meal is likely to spoil
in shipment.
b. Only the whole grain can
be shipped and the Allies have
few mills to grind it.
C. Tie people in Europe do
not know how to use corn meal
We have the corn and the mills
to grind 1t, and we know how
to use it. EAT MORE CORN.
7. Corn is more than food to us;
it is a symbol. Staying right at
home, it plays a colossal part in
the war, for it sends the wheat
abroad. CORN IS THE HOME
GUARD among food products.
WHEAT IS THE SOLDIER OF
THE LINE.

success for fifty years said: II don't
say that everybody will be satisfied,
but I think we will get the rest when
