DR., SMITH FAVORS
INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
FOR INSTITUTIONS

In relieving the state institutions,
which are all suffering from limited
finances. each should have its indi-
vidual maintenance appropriation in
creased according to Its needs, accord
ing to DR.. E. S. Smith, superintendent
Of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for
Insane, who disapproves Of the plan
suggested by Governor Goodrich to
increase the emergency fund
One of the two plans under consid-
Grafton will be laid before the special
session of the legislature. in an eff
fort to obtain more money for the
maintenance of the institution, ac-
cording to Indianapolis advices.
Il feel that the responsibility of the
appropriations should be left at the
door Of each institution said DR..
Smith Friday.
State officials are at work to ascer-
tain what each institution will prob
ably need. DR.. Smith estimates that
Easthaven, which is an average sized
institution, will need an increase of
from 10000 to $45,000 a year.
Governor Goodrich obtained emerg
ency funds to help the institutions
when prices were fluctuating and
there was no certainty what each
would need, said Dr. Smith. Now
however. the governor is inclined to
believe that prices have reached a
new high and permanent level, and
that the individual appropriations tC
the institutions may be increased.

HOLD DUTCH REPLY
MERITED BY ALLIES
fRv Assoc,ateo Press,

PARIS, July 11.-Feeling in confer
ence circles today was that the curt
rejoinder Of Holland to the allies
note regarding the former German
crown prince received yesterday,
could not be taken as indicative Of
the Dutch attitude on the final ques-
tion Of the surrender OF either the
former kaiser or his eldest son.
1t is felt in conference circles gener-
ally and in American quarters partic-
ularly, it is understood, that the Dutch
reply was just about what might have
been expected in the circumstances.
Representatives Of the allUd and as
sociated powers are Of the opinion
that the allied communication implied
the assumption Of some dereliction on
the part of the Dutch government and
that its reply was merited.

REQUIRE FURTHER ACTION
PARIS, July 11.-Ratifcation of the
treaty Of peace by the German na.
tional assembly at Weimar may be
held not to be sufficient according to
the Petit Parisien. The new German
constitution provides that in cases
where territory is ceded, the ratifica-
ton of treaties by states which lose
territory is necessary in addition to
approval by the Central government
Consequently Independent action by
Bavaria, for the Sarre basin and Prus.
sia for territory restored to Poland
may be required.
It may be said, the newspaper says
that the new constitution has been
only partially accepted when the treaty
was ratified, but it adds: 1T is i'm
perative to avoid giving German legal
experts pretext for proclaiming the
nullity of the treaty"

GENT GOES ASHORE

DOUGLAS, March 1. - The ferry boat Gent had an accident to her ma chinery on the 440 o'clock trip yes terday afternoon and during the high Takn wind drifted ashore on Doug las Island near the old sawmill. A small boat was lined back and forth from the boat to the bench and all the passengers succeeded in landing without any inconvenience. At noon today the ferry was still on the beach but the officials believed that it was an easy matter to pull her off on the high tide this afternoon. No particular damage was done the boat other than a small hole in her starboard bow and the engineers claim the water can easily be kept out with the pumps. Fortunately the boat grounded on a sandy beach and with few minor repairs should be in commission again within a few days.
