 We have real responsibility in super visng and suggesting and developing these children in their new homes.
 There are a great many of these chil- dren who are so perfectly placed that it
 is not only safe but wise that supervision of them should be released. During the month Of January we are attempting to make final visits to these homes to make a settlement of their legal status and so graduate these children from depend- ency to normal independent childhood.
 All together we have extended the aid of the society to 800 children. During the month of December we placed seven new children in new homes; six boys with their kinspeople and sent one body to special boarding school Six were re- ferred back to their parents after pains taking investigation and careful adjust ment of the home situation so that we were sure it was best for the children. One boy was entered in the Boys Indus trial school one referred to the Tennes- see Childrenss Home society, four little folks were entered in the Mercy home, seven little fellows are still undergoing treatment for serious physical troubles which will require all the skill of our physicians. Five youngsters stand ready and waiting to be placed in just the right homes"

 There has been considerable speculation as to what action the President would resort to were the treaty with reserva- tions to be ratified. The idea prevails that whereas the President wilnmake no move toward initiating compromise he would accept one should it be reasonable and not destructive of the vitals of the treaty f At any rate there is, for the first time. a real silver lining, and the rainbow of hope is high in the heavens.

SEE cox VICTORY IN
ACTION OF DRYS

COLUMBUS. O., July 23--The action Of
the executive committee Of the Anti
Saloon league at Washington in refusing
to indorse or condemn either the repub
hcan or the democratic candidate for
president. is interpreted in two distinct
IL different ways By democratic leaders
here today.
By some it is regarded as manifestly
8 victory for Gov Cox that the national
body should 90 on record as neutral after
the Ohio state organization had opposed
him openly.
They believe the action OF the execu-
tive committee was prompted by a con-
viction that the governor, if elected, will
stand for strict enforcement Of the law.
and as an argument In support OF this
Interpretation, point out that the commit
tee recommends q strenuous campaign
against wet senatorial or congressional
candidates to the end that congress may
be kept dry" and modification OF ths
Yolstead act made impossible.
The other group OF leaders take the
view that the leagues expressed neutral
it, indicates no increase OF friendship for
the democratic candidate.
The ants, these leaders say, really are
opposed to Cox, and If they refrain from
indorsing Harding do so from fear theil
Endorsement would injuFe the candidates
chances in some quarters.

SITUATION NOT
GRAVE IN INDIANA

Indianapolis representatives of large
refining companies said the gasoline sit
uation in Indiana is not serious and that
there is no indication that rationing viii
be necessary.
Transportation difficulties, they said,
have made the shipping of gasoline into
the state a problem but thus far sufficient
has been shipped to meet the demand.
"Rationing may be put into effect in
some parts of the country but it will not
affect Indiana" Lucius French, secretary
of the Western Oil Refining company,
said. "We are bringing in sufficient now
to meet the demand and enough addi-
tional to fill up our storage space in order
that we may have a supply should trans
portation break down" he continued.
H E. Bruce assistant manager of the
local branch of the Standard Oil COM
pany, said there has been no difficulty,
except that Of transportation, in obtain
ing a supply of gasoline in Indianapolis.
R. n. Muench, manager of the Ma
tional Refining Company, said he did not
look for a serious situation in the near
future but that the demand is exceeding
the supply and I'VE will eventually be
down to rock bottom"
He said $4,000 barrels recently had
been taken from reserve storage by his
company to meet the demand.

OFF TO TRAILS END
TO WRITE SPEECH

COLUMBUS, O., July 23-James NJ.

NAL speech Of acceptance from data
which he has been collecting since his
Nomination.
The library at his home, Trails End, -
near Dayton, viii be the scene of his Ia
bOrs, the nominee leaving Columbus for
there shortly after noon.
Interest conferred in the exact stand Of
the nominee on prohibition.
Since his nomination the governor has
made himself clear on several important
issues, but the telegram Of Richmond
Pearson H0bson of the AntiSalOOn
league, asking whether Cox favors a
wet modification Of the VOlstead law,
romans unanswered after two weeks.
Cox has indicated his answer will be
in his speech OF acceptance.
The league Of nations. the causes OF
the present unrest throughout the coun-
try, federal taxation, the high cost Of
living. and farming conditions will le-
ceive prominent places in the speech,
but one of the outstanding themes will
be an attempt TO show that the le-
publican party has drifted back into re-
action" a close adviser said today.
Cox was studying carefully the full
text Of Senator Harding's speech yester-
day and il was thought probable he viii
reply TO some sections.
Data for Cox's speech have been pro-
vided In large volume by the whitehsuse
and other government departments in
Washington.
In addition thousands Of appeals and
suggestions have been received from in
dfviduaIs.
Speaking Of these Cox said the gen
ersI trend was that he should come out
strong for progressive principles.

TROOPS NOT TO
GO TO POLAND
Indications Are United States
Will Steer Clear.

+ WASHINGTON. July %. While
President Wilson and government off
Gals are watching with interest de
velopments in Poland, there were no in
dications today that this government
will become involved in the plan of the
allies to send troops into Poland TO
fight the bolsheviki
Although President Wilson retains
war power under which he might send
forces into Poland, it is believed here
that he would not consider such action
and that the participation of the United
States in the war between Poland and
the bolsheviki will be limited to the ship
ment of supplies to Europe
No official word has beet received here
as to the decision of France and Eng
land to send armies to Poland, but 1t is
exected that the United States will be
sounded out Informally as TO her wishes
in joining such an expedition.
Only some overt act by the bolsheviki
could lead to the entrance of the United
States into this campaign, officials be-
lieve, and an opportunity is now being
given to all Americans to leave Poland.
The army transport Pocahontas is due
at Danzig now and orders have been
issued that all Americans in Poland be
furnished transportation on that boat If
they wish 1t.
There are approximately 1000 Anneri-
cans In Poland now.
