Sad Disillusionment ForHun Prisoners
$ !"

~ ERMAN prisoners of war are NJ astonished at the number of Americans in France. When marched to the rear their eyes are opened to the truth which has been kept from them by their leaders. Many officers share this ignorance.
 Recently PrussiaH lieutenant was captured among other Germans in iFis- mette. Coming back over the Ameri- can roads under guard, when several niles from Fismette, the lieutenant is reported to have said: We thought the U-boats had practically cut Amer ica off from Europe. I thought there were almost no Americans in Europe. but I have seen nothing but Ameri- cans, American guns, American can ron and wagons all the way back"
 When assured that for more than 100 miles to the prison camp where le was going he would meet with the sanie conditions, the officer declared there was no use for Germany to fight any longer.
 The presence of 2,000,000 men in France, fed, clothed and equipped from a base 5000 miles away, offers tapgi. He proof of the U-boat's failure.

HATS OFF TO oREsToN. IOWA

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Creston, Union county, Iowa, is a little town of 1900 souls. When the United States entered the war hundreds of her sons volunteered, and the draft took more. Today she stands stripped of her young manhood. She has given more men to the service than any other town in Union county.
 When the Rainbow division went over. seas the flower of Crestons male popu- lation filled the ranks of the 16Sth reg. iment. Hardly a home but felt the ah- sence of a loved one, hardly table without vacant chair. Because of their
 great pride in the boys who had gone the townspeople placed their names in an honor roll on the painted fa- cade of the ggestibuilding in town, and after each, d star. Many of the stars are of gold.

 The Florentine Republic needed money to finance war in 1903 and it's secretary, Machiavelli. appealed to it's citizens for funds with the following words:
 Many of you must remember the time when constantinople was taken by the Turks. hTe Emperor had foreseen the ruin of the city; he called the citizens to him, since the ordinary revenues of Ae state were not sufficient for the Cher gency; he explained to them the danger, showed them the remedies he proposed to adopt They laughed at him. Then came the siege. >rhe same citizens who d short time before had shown such little regard for the reminders of their lord. as soon as they heard the artillery thunder against the walls and the army or the enemy rage, ran weeping to the Emperor with loads of gold, but the Elm peror chased them away, saying: Now you go and die with all your money, since you were not willing to iiye with out it.!

CONSUMPTION of Indiana doctors

quota Of 800 may be reached by July
1, according to DR.. Joseph r. Eastman
in charge of the enlistment Of med
ical men in the state.
Wayne, Vigo, Allen and Upton
counties were mentioned by DR.. East
man as honor counties for their large
enlistments of doctors. Many coun'
ties with poor showing were men,
toned, which may result in conscrip-
ton, the doctor said.
Under proposed classification
there are $500 physicians available
in Indiana. Already LOO doctors
from the state are in the service, but
there is great need for more men. Dr.
Eastman and his committee has esti.
mated that there are LOO doctors in
Indiana under the age Of IS years,
and $500 more above that age. He
believes enough doctors will be left
to serve the civilian population.
A number of Richmond physicians
have been accepted for service. Drs.
L. F. Ross, J. H. Kinsey, G.. B. Hunt
and Frank Harold took physical ex-
aminations at Fort Benjamin Harri-
son but were rejected. DR.. w. w.
Zimmerman and DR.. ]. M. Bulla, both
of whom are past IS years, tried to
enter the service but were rejected on
account of their age.

This is the richest Of all American
races for thoroughbreds. three year old

ception in 1918, the race has been won
by high class horse, its list of win
ners including, Rudolfo. Luke McLuke,
Borrow, Ed Crump, King CORN. The
last named horse, winner of the event
last season, Is once more a leading
candidate for the race, as is Cudgel,
which ran King CORN close second IN
the race last spring.
Cudgel, whose recent achievements
indicate the possibility Of his being
the champion winner OF the year, will
be shipped from the New York tracks,
where he is racing, to participate in
this race. Cudgel is now the property
Of Commander Ross of the British
Navy. one Of the wealthiest men of
Canada, who purchased him last fall
for $4,000. 1t is likely that Cudgel
will be the top weight favorite for the
race.
