WORLD union TO
SUPPORT PEACE,
WALLACE URGES
Alliance in Time Of Peace as
Well as War to Solve Prob
lens of Nations.
fBy Associated Press)

PARIS, April 23.-Hugh C. Wallace.
American ambassador to France, In
presenting his credentials to President
Poincare today, said that in addition
to comforting peace upon the world, 1t
was necessary to unite the people in
support of it, Mr.. Wallace said:
"Mr. President-I have the honor to
present to your eXcellency the letters
which accredit me as ambassador ex-
traordinary and plenipotentiary Of the
United States to the French republic.
l am indeed honored, for l come at
the end of the world war to salute
victorious France in the name Of the
American people. In that struggle
Frenchmen and Americans fought side
by side until the final victory was
won on French soil, under French
command: and Paris, for a time the
capital of the world, now is witness
ing the erection of the temple of peace.
Requires World Unity.
1--WE hope to dedicate that temple
in the name of the league Of nations,
and make it it's home; for the great
war which was fought in the defense
of civilization should be the last con-
fiict of mankind. When victory came
it was complete and the peace which
Is to follow should be enduring. 1t
is now the task Of the allied nations
to confer that peace upon humanity,
but first to unite the world IN support
of it. At last labor and the great task
Of reconstruction, France and Ameri
ca, one in aim and principle, are work
ing with united energy.
II am fortunate, Mr.. President, to
come to you at such time, for my
opportunity is great. Great also Ii
my responsibility, but my task Itself
should be easy. The deeds we have
done and are yet to do together neec
no Interpretation. Words fall from
our lips in different accents but as
friends and allies, in war and peace
we speak the common language Of the
heart"

MAYOR INVITES
WAYNE TO HELP
GREET SOLDIERS
Zimmerman Suggests Barbe-
cue at Glen Miller as APP
propriate Welcome for Men

An invitation to other towns Of
Wayne county to appoint committees
and take steps to work with Rich
mond on the great homecoming cele-
bration planned for the county's re-
turned soldiers this summer, was ex-
tended through the newspapers We'd
nesday by Mayor Zimmerman. go --T' n
"As mayor OF Richmond, have ap-
pointed committees from council and
from the citizens of the city, to work
toward a great homecoming celebra-
ton for our soldier boys" said the
mayor. But ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
in the county-wants this to be a
whole county affair. It will not have
half the meaning it might have unless
it is. I have suggested Glen Miller
park as the best place possible for
such an entertainment, being conven-
lent and very well suited for it, but
that does not mean that we do not
want this to be county affair.
Asks Officials to Cooperate
Through this announcement, l ask
that the councils or city officials Of
every town in the county appoint com
mittees or otherwise take steps to co
operate with the Richmond commit
tees, so that we may work out def
mite plan
DR.. Zimmerman suggested Wednes
day, that an old-fashioned barbecue
which has not been seen in Richmond
for almost thirty years, would be ar
appropriate greeting for the boys.
| Whole beeves and sheep roasted
over an open fire, Kentucky Burgoo
and every adjunct Of the old-time po
litical barbecue might be features o.
the celebration, according to the
mayor, and he is sure such feature
would be popular in the county.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Postmas-
ter General Burleson announced today
that he had issued the following IN
structions to the wire operating board:
Direct the management OF all tele-
graph systems to suspend In so far
as messages referring to the post
master general are concerned their
rule prohibiting transmission OF mes
sages containing a libelous matter
It was stated that this order was is
sued yesterday morning as soon as
attention was called to the refusal OF
the night managers of the postal sys-
tenn at New York to transmit certain
messages filed by the New York World
news bureau on the ground that they
were libelous At the same time, II
was stated, the general manager OF
the postal system was instructed to
notify the World bureau that the mes
sages would be handled, notwithstand-
ing the fact that A. F. Adams, man
ager OF the operating department at
New York held that they contained
Iibelous matter and consequently
were not transmissable under postal
rules. The messages in question con-
stituted an article relating to the post
master general and his administrator
of the wire systems.
NEW YORK, April 23.-The New
York World today charges that the
postoffice department prohibited the
transmission on the wires of the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph com
pany, which as war measure are un-
der the control Of the postmaster gen
erals in an article in Mondays issue
of the World analyzing the activities
Of the department.
A schedule paraphrasing the head
lines the World used over the Mon
days article and giving brief out
line of character and scope Of 1t, was
prepared by the night manager OF the
World news bureau and addressed to
a number of newspapers with which
they had relations. 1t is now charged
that representatives of the two tele
graph companies located in the World
office, submitted schedule to their
respective chiefs and these officials
decided against sending it over the
wires on the ground that it appeared
1 to be improper.

BUDAPEST FACES
SERIOUS CRISIS
IN new REVOLT
Violent Swing to Anarchy is
Feared-Hatred Grows tor
Allied Powers.
(By Associated Press)

BUDAPEST, April 23-This city is
going through a crisis worse than
that Of April 8. There is apprehension
that there will be violent swing to
anarchy with the socialists losing con
troll Of Bolshevik leaders like Bella
Kun and chiefs of the red guard.
Looting which hitherto has been held
in check or legalized as the nation
alization Of property" and the assas-
sination of the old political leaders
and the aristocrats are feared.
Reports are current that the Ru.
manians and Czechs have received
orders from the allies to march On
Budapest. This Is increasing the un-
ca siness here. 1t is felt. however,
that the Rumanians are advancing
merely to occupy the territories set
aside for them by the allied note OF
March 20, which resulted IN the re-
signation of Count Michael karoly1,
the former premier.
The fact that the communists are un-
able to prevent the allies from occu-
pying the districts involved Is weak
ening the influence of Bella Kun, and
is causing violent hatred against the
allies among the Hungarians.
In obedience to orders from the
soldiers and workmen's council work
was resumed on Monday at munition
and war material factories In and
around Budapest.
Situation Obscure
It seems to be established that the
soviet government of Hungary has
crumbled, but the situation is still
quite obscure. The party that has as
sumed control is not definitely known.
The report that soviet regime
had been set up in Turkey, is doubted
in London, where it is pointed out
that If there was any truth IN the
rumor, there would have been reports
forwarded by wireless to the British
admiralty by the British warsh1ps
now lying before Constantinople

Another dormitory may be added to
the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the

ent, said Wednesday. This will de-
pend" DR.. Smith said, upon the price
of materials and labor"
The dormitory would be used by
women. There are about 435 women
at the hospital and about that many
men, but there is not enough room
to accommodate all the women. The
colony for the men is sufficiently
large.
The proposed cottage would accom-
modate about 40 women and would be
similar in structure to the other cot
tages. A definite decision about the
building will be made about June 1.

INLAND WATERWAYS

During the war the government declared in favor Of helping
and promoting inland water traffic, Senators and congressman
representing nearly, If not quite, one half Of the people of the
United States, who are vitality interested in water traffic, would
do well to give some attention to this matter. 1t is of vital
Importance at this time, when the railroads are about to be
returned to private ownership and management Nj. Hines says
the rivers are to be given a thorough test; but he seems to stand
alone. No one seems to be giving the matter any attention.
Transfer terminals must be built, and rate adjustments between
the rail and river traffic made, and this is an enormous task
which can be begun and should be begun at once and there
is only a short time left until the roads are returned to their
owners, who will do all they can to embarrass or kill river
traffic, as they have been doing for half a century. January,
1920, will see the railroads out of the hands of the government,
and unless terminals are built at St. Louis, Memphis, Vicksburg,
New Orleans and elsewhere the Mississippi river might as we'll
be dry, and this means an expenditure of from three to six
millions of dollars, and of t%ime-which is more precious-six or
eight months, at least. If some Aladdin with ring and lamp
should provide these criminals in one night they would be use
less without rate adjustments, and no one seems to be paying
any attention to rate adjustments, craftsmanship seems to con-
Germ itself with devising means and voting money to capture
Jerry S%peedfoot, who may have a bottle OF whisky in his pos
session, when a crisis impends the commerce of half the nation,
The great objective seems to have been lost at Washington,
and the opportunity to revive river traffic may be lost by default.
The period of government control is the most opportune
time in which to make these rate adjustments, and the director
vet the government remained in control. This promise has not
been kept and the time is passing by and no action is being
taken. The newspapers here and elsewhere throughout the
valley have done their part fully and Loyalty, but the newspapers
cannot legislate. That is the work of congress.
