LUTHERAN CAMPAIGN
OPENED IN RICHMOND

With the entire state Of Indiana
deeply interested in the thrilling story
which comes from Europe concerning
the murder of Lutheran pastors by the
Bolsheviki, and the fear of the utter
humiliation of the church organiza-
ton in Alsace-Lorraine and other por-
lions of Europe unless assistance
comes promptly from America, the
Lutherans of Indiana are naturally
aroused to the importance of the cam
paign which is now in progress and
which promises to be one Of the most
successful of the war endeavors.
This money is to be used for purely
reconstruction purposes. In giving
money to the churches in Europe
which formerly were maintained sole
ly by the government these great
bodies will be able to lay the founda-
ton for the most substantial future of
development and for the combating Of
the anarchistic groups which now seek
to control the unhappy countries of
Europe.
The campaign in the local churches
began yesterday

GAS HEARING

Byram Robbins, city attorney. and

company. spent Monday in Pittsburgh
at an open hearing of the United
States fuel administration upon the
natural gas situation.
Fate OF the order which prohibits
use of natural gas by industries until
after April Is rests upon the hearing
Owing to the, fact that domestic con-
sumers had been left last winter and
previous winters without gas because
of the large use Of it by industries,
the latter were prohibited from its
use by the fuel administration.
Both industries and gas companies
now wish the order discontinued, but
the state public service commission

and many representatives of Indiana
cities, including Robbins from Rich
mond, are expected to fight any such
action.

The Cummings bill, which passed the
house last week, providing that only
English and Latin may be taught in
the elementary grades OF the public
schools, will meet opposition when 1t
reaches the senate this week.
Educators and Americanization ex-
perts point out that there is In the
city schools at this time q great de-
mand for instruction In French and
Spanish. and to eliminate this from
the eighth grades or the junior high
schools would be great mistake, they
say.

the senate to permit the teaching OF
other than English and Latin in the

DlSQUIET Is SEEN
AMONG SLOVAKS

Pressburg, Slovakia, Bohemia.-Gen-
orally speaking, the situation in Slo-
vakia, formerly a province of Hun
gary, now annexed to Czetho-Slovakia,
Is not without disquieting features.
The honeymoon of the revolution has
passed and some of the establishment
bound to follow the introduction of
new regime has set in. The Magyars
and the Magyarized elements have not
as yet been reconciled to the new re-
gime, and the peasants have recovered
from their first enthusiasm. A difficult
task Of reconciliation remains to be
performed by the Czechs.
The population Of Slovakia is made
up of three elements-Slovak intelli-
genca, which has always been very
strong for the union with Bohemia {;
the Magyars and Magyarized Germans,
and the peasantry. The intelligencia
has been completely satisfied by the
Czecho- Slovak government. The ad-
ministration has been handed over
completely to the very small number
Of Slovak doctors, lawyers, authors
and professors that could be mustered
for service.
Maeyars Ignored.
Meanwhile the Magyars and Mag
yarized elements have been quite ig-
nored by the government except where
the government could not find Slovak
to fill the job. Intense loyalty to the
old Hungarian rule characterizes these
people. They could be reconciled to
new conditions were they taken into
the Czech administration. But the

Washington, d. C.-Machine guns
Ind small arms produced by the mil
lions, ammunition turned out sby the
billions Of rounds and tanks built by
thousands when the armistlce ended
hostilitles, furnish the subject Of chap
tiers just made public of the war de-
partment's history of the material"
side Of winning the war.
In regard to machine gun production,
about which such q hot controversy
waged in congress as a result Of the
failure of the American army to adopt
for standard general use the Lewis
weapon used successfully abroad, the
report says manufacturing facilities
for machine guns in this country were
much more limited in extent than the
public had any notion of when the
United States entered the war or to-
day, and that there were at the out
break Of the war only two factories
which were actually producing ma
chine guns in any quantity at all.
Dearth Of Aircraft Guns.
The report says there was great
dearth of heavy machine guns for air
craft work, to be synchronized with
propellers. The Browning aircraft gun
would have met the requirements, but
1t would be long time before 1t could
be produced in quantity. In seeking
stop gap weapon until the Browning
could be ready, the ordnance depart
ment, by zone Of those surprising and
almost accidental successes" some
times encountered, found that modi-
fed Marlin gun which could be quick
ly produced met all requirements.
The work Of the Brownings Is de-
clared to have been spectacular as
compared with any existing weapons
of this character. Up to November II
the production of Browning rifles was
52,23S, a majority of which were in
France. In addition $4,000 Chauchat
guns had been purchased, so that
enough light automatic rifles were on
hand to supply 100 divisions, or an
army of 100000 men. In the same
time 41S04 heavy Brownings and
enough Vlckers guns had been pro-
duced to make, with the Hotchkiss
weapons purchased from the French
a total Of 54,G27 Of this type, or
enough to equip 200 divisions, or an
army Of 100000.
Other production struggles described
include items varying in size from
trench knives to the Aston Mark VIII
tanks Of British design, of which 1900
We're being constructed In cooperation
with the British and 1,450 additional
wholly by American enterprise.

Horses OF Clusters Command Died ae

Stories Of equine courage and fortl-

that of famous horse. Comanche, sole
survivor of the Custer massacre. Co

He was found shortly after the mass

dlers carried him on litter construct
ed of strong poles and army blankets.

recovered to receive an honorable dis
charge.
Cutters men used the bodies of their
horses for barricade against the In
dians. AS they went into action on
horseback every horse was saddled, but
when Comanche was found he was
without even bride, so 1t was sup
posed that the Indians, believing he
was too badly wounded to recover,
stripped him and left him to die. Every
other horse was found in the heaps
of the slain.
