Missionary Tells Of
Work Among Africans

Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, mother of
Emory Ross, a missionary to Africa,
spoke at prayer meeting held at the
First Christian church Friday after
noon. She talked of the civilization
in the missions that have been estab-
lished in Africa, the wonders of the
continent and the work that is being
done by missionaries.
Mrs. Ross showed several speci-
mems which she had with her of the
handiwork of the Africans. Mrs EN-
ory Ross. her daughter-in-law, has
class of 40 women who come TO sew
on her front porch, and a class of 120
in her Sunday school. The American
missionaries teach the Africans every
thing, Mrs. Ross said.
Flour in Africa is $50 barrel, sugar
is 20 cents a pound and coal oil is
very expensive. The natives have
learned to make an oil out of bamboo
that serves the same purpose of coal

WELCOME FOR WAYNE
SOLDIERS SHOULD Be
PICNIC ZIMMERMAN

A huge community picnic to be Civ
en- by the city and county as well
come and a celebration for the return
ing soldier boys will be suggested 10
council Monday evening by Mayor
Zimmerman. The mayor suggested
Glen Miller park as the most appro.
pirate place, and the Fourth OF July
as the best time for the celebration.
Five members of council who could
be reached by telephone Saturday
gave hearty approval to the general
outlines of the plan at first sight. "It
is fine idea" said Councilman JOS
eph Waterman, "and l would certain
ly favor it,
"The idea is a good one, and l
hope the mayor appoints a good com
mittee, and the committee boosts it
along" said Councilman Evans.
"The boys ought to be nome by
that time, and l can't think of any
more appropriate way to welcome
them" said Councilman Schwegman.
'"The Fourth of July would be a very
good day, too. Of course this should
be a county affair"
Councilman A. J. Ford said he
thought the city and county should
get away from the stereotyped styl .
of welcome to returned heroes, and
that county picnic, with plenty of
entertainment, and real speaker,
would make the very best type of
welcome. Councilman Won Pein also
expressed himself as heartily in favor
Of the idea.

Good Thing for Jones No. 2
That Jones No. | Is Honest

Considerable confusion in Richmond
and Indianapolis postoffices has been
caused during the last few days over
a peculiar circumstance. Two j. R.
Jones who radiate out from Indian
apolis recently left word for their mail
to be forwarded. One went to SUI
perior, Wis; the other came to Rich
mond.
The confusion rose, however, in the
fact that mail has been streaming in
to the Indianapolis postoffice for j. R.
Jones. Now, which Jones is it to be
forwarded to is the question.
This week an innocent looking letter
to one of these Jones was forwarded
to Richmond for claim or refusal. Mr.
Jones in Richmond opened the letter
and found a Liberty Bond certificate
for j. r. Jones.
That's not mine," said he and it
was sent back to Indianapolis and
thence to Superior, Wis.
Its good thing for Jones Number
2 that Jones No. is an honest man."
remarked a postal clerk here.

MONKS, rs,
IS DEAD AT HOME
IN INDIANAPOLIS
Former Member of State Su-
preme Court Had Tried
Cases in Richmond.

WINCHESTER, Ind, April 19.-Le-
ander j. Monks, Is years old, died of
heart trouble at Indianapolis early
Saturday morning. He was born in
Winchester, Ind, and received his
early education in the schools here.
He attended Indiana university at
Bloomington, but left there before he
had completed his junior year. In
1878 he was selected Judge of the
twenty-ffth district where he served
for three consecutive terms.
In 1894 he was elected judge of the
supreme court of Indiana from the
fourth district and served in that ca.
pacity for eighteen years. In 1913 ne
entered the practice of law at Ind
annapolis in the firm of Monks, Rob
bins and Starr, composed of John
Robbins, formerly an attorney Of
Richmond, and Harry Starr, now at
torney in Richmond, but formerly of
Indianapolis. He was engaged in the
practice of law in Indianapolis from
that time until his death.
He was married in 1865 to Elizabeth
W. White who died eleven years ago
yesterday.
Figure in Legal Circles.
Judge Monks stood out distinctly
as one of the central figures in the
judiciary circles of the state of In.
diana. AS lawyer he won a repu-
tation for distinguished service and as
jurist he showed himself to be rich
with integrity and honor. Personally,
he was entirely unassuming, a plain
genial man who made and maintained
friends without effort, and inspired
confidence and respect in all with
whom he came in contact.
Judge Monks was a thirty-second de-
gree Mason. membeC of the Meth
odist church of Winchester and a
member of the Columbia and Marion
clubs of Indianapolis.
Four daughters survive him. They
are Mrs. ]. Kizer and Mrs. William
r. Hunter of Indianapolis, Mrs. George
L. Davis of Kokomo, and Mrs. Milo
D. Smith, of Winchester.
The funeral arrangements have not
been completed, but they will be held
at Winchester.
Judge Monks was well known here,
having occupied the bench here in
several cases.

HUN DELEGATES
WILL BE UNDER
Guard AT PARIS
Germans Representatives to
be Considered Foes Until
Treaty is Signed.
(By Associated Press)


PARIS, April 19.-The German dele.
gates to the peace congress are com.
ing to France by way of Spa, Belgium
to which point they will travel In their
own conveyances, says the Petit Jour.
nal today. At Spa, however a special
train provided by the French authori-
ties will await them and their journey
thence will be made under military
guard. At Versailles military dele
cations will receive them and conduct
them to their lodgings.
The German representatives, the
newspaper states, will be treated cour-
teously, but will be regarded as ene-
mics as long as the peace treaty re-
mains unsigned. They will not be al
lowed to go about as they please, nor
will newspaper men be permitted to
Interview them, on pain of being
charged with communicating with the
enemy.
Considerable speculation Is taking
place regarding the possibility of the
German delegates refusing to sign the
treaty. In case they should refuse,
says Marcel Hutin, in the Echo de
Paris, the text of the peace terms
would be Immediately made public
and a special train would be placed
at the disposal of the German repre-
sentatlves. The allies have been pre-
pared for this eventuality for several
weeks past, M. Hutin adds, and stimuli
taneously with the German refusal a
plan elaborated by the chief commands
of the allied armies and navy would be
put into operation.

URGES u. s. WAR
POLICY APPLIED
TO PHILIPPINES
Rights of Small Nations Ad-
vanced by Advocate of ISL
and independence.
Msgr. Joseph F. Mooney.
(By Associated Press)


NEW YORK, April 19-Immediate
independence for the Philippines, on
the double ground of the Islands fit
ness for self-government and their
right to this status under the United
States war policy guaranteeing the
liberties of small nations was urged
here today by Manuel L. Quezon,
president of the Philippine senate and
chairman of the territory's mission to
this country.
How could America give its recog-
milton, even its assistance and CO.
operation to the independence of
Czecho-Slovakia. Poland and other
submerged nationalities, the senator
asked, and withhold it from the Phil
ippines? He called attention to his
country's six years of self rule, pro-
nounced successful by supervising
American officials, comparing it with
the total lack of experience of some
OF the liberated republics.
Mr.. Quezon voiced the Philippines'
enthusiastic approval" of the league
of nations, not only because of the
need of an interna tional agency to
curb militarism and protect peace
loving peoples, but because of his
country's experience under some of
its features. He described a proud
precedent for the mandatory idea
contained in the league covenant, the
unprecedented progress" of the Fill
ipinos under American suzerainty, an
administration free from exploita-
ton.
Want Share Of Victory
This magnanimous treatment" he
continued, "has made America what
it is today in the eyes of the weak and
peoples-the champion of
their rights, the redeemer of their
bondage"
He saw no way open to the United
States consistent with her Internal
ionally advocated principles but to
crown with q Philippine republic "the
work" accomplished in the
islands.
When America assumed trusteeship |
Of the Philippines "for huma nifty and |
civilization" Senator Quezon said, es- |
Of stable government |
was made prerequisite to independ- |
ence. This state had been accom- |
plished, he said, in an archipelago |
governed in pra ctice wholly by native
officials. He cited development OF /
the educational system, by which with |
in six years every child of school age I
would be given an opportunity to |
study in class rooms where English is |
the legal language, the expansion of |
foreign and domestic commerce and |
the increase in wealth. He mention
ed also the islands loyal support of |
the United States in the war which |
was inspired by the same motive
belief in the principle of self deter
had led the Filipinos
after the defeat of Spain to wage an
unequal war rather than submit uI-
to American sover-
eighty.
With the Filipino people ready for
the Senator said, the
commission which he headed had been
sent to America in confidence that it
would be able to win for the country
"a share of the fruits of democracy's
Tictory."

PRESENT ITALY'S CLAIMS.

Fn6oENI tJAIVo SIAImS.
PARIS, April 19.-The text of the
claims especially in the Adriatic, were
presented to the council Of four today
by Baron Sidney Sonnino, the Italian
foreign minister.
The fact that Baron Sonnino and not
Premier Orlando presented the Ital-
ian case to the council Is regarded as
significant because the foreign minis
ter is an extremist advocate of Italy's
utmost claims.
1t was Baron Sonnino who signed
the treaty of London, and he now
holds Premiers Lloyd George and
Clemenceau to the pledges made in
the treaty.
Ireiand's Case Given.
The three delegates sent by the
Irish societies In the United States to
place Ireland's case before the peace
conference-former Governor Edward

and Michael J. Ryan Of Philadelphia,
called upon Col. E. M. House of the
American peace delegation this morn.
ing. The papers relating to their re-
quest on the Irish question, the sub
mission of which had been sent for to-
day, were handed to Col. House by his
callers.
Fix Danzlg Status.
With the question Of Poland's west
ern boundary settled, the council OF
four Of the peace conference in Paris
was prepared today to take up anew
the problem of the Adriatic for def
mite disposition.
AS result of the councils delibera
tons yesterday Danzig, the Baltic port
claimed by Poland, is to become an
international harbor, it is understood.
And Poland will be given a corridor
through German territory, it is said,
SO that she may have free access to
Danzig. Whether this corridor coin
cides with that delineated by the
peace conference some weeks ago is
not known.
Another nationalist movement with
in the British empire may be brought
10 the official notice of the delegates
by representatives Of Egyptian ele-
ments which are demanding independ-
ence for their country. The Egyptians
now are in France and are expected
to reach Paris soon in an endeavor to
lay their case before the conference.
Conditions at Cairo are reported to
be grave as result of this movement.
Wilson Plans Return.
1t is announced that the Rumanian
troops have been ordered to occupy
territory which was Professionally al
lotted by the peace conference to that
country in Pennsylvania, formerly a !
province of the Austro-Hungarian en-
pire. When the new soviet govern |
ment was established in Budapest it
was declared that the turning over
of this particular territory to Rumania |
was one of the causes Of the over |
throw of the regime headed by Count |
Michael Karolyi
German government troops and Ba-
varian soviet forces are believed to |
be fighting in or around Munich, but |
little as to the trend of events there |
has been learned. In northern Ger
many labor troubles continue, Bremen |
being the storm center Of what ap-
pears to be a serious strike, while ;
strike movements also persist in
Berlin.
Reports from Paris seem to indi-
cate that President Wilson plans to
return to America the middle of next
month and that an extra session of
congress may be called to meet some
time between May Is and June l.

of the features of the market has been
