Takers" says Doctor Salmon, who is
member OF the American Legion Hospi-
tallzation committee. "Of course there
are such men among those who apply
for relief. But you will find them
everywhere; in business, in colleges.
In politics and even in the churches"
Doctor Salmon, in his plea for com.
plete and efficient care of the disabled
men, answers the assertion that there
are 5000 empty beds in the govern
ment hospitals He explains that
beds alone cannot cure the disabled
and besides. he says, most Of the 5000
empty beds are needed to constitute
the reserve that every hospital with
an active service needs.

PLEA
GERMANY CAN
NOT MEET BILL
ReparatiOns Body Sends Note
Refusing to Accept Excuse
for Delay.
WILL TIGHTEN SCREWS

PARIS, March 24.-The interallied
reparations commission today handed to
the German embassy a note refusing to
accept the German contention that Ger
many is incapable of paying the indem-
nifty demanded by the entente under the
terms of the treaty Of Versailles.
The allies sent a note to Germany de-
handing one billion gold marks before
March "A. At the same time the allies
commended that Germany still owes 12,-
100000 600 gold marks OF the 100000 900
gold marks she was to pay to the allies
before May l, 1921, under the terms of
the treaty of Versailles.
DR.. Walter SimOns, the German for
eign minister, declared at the London
indemnity conference that Germany had
already paid this twenty-billion gold
marks in money and goods.
The reparatiOns commission has sent
a long communication to the allied gov
ernments containing recommendations
and further sanctions or penalties.
The moment has come for new and
decisive sanctions" said Mattr, in dis
cussing the new indemnity situation.
"Pertinax." political editor Of the Echo
De Paris, understands that decisive con-
versations are about to be opened be-
tween Germany and the allies, wherein
the allies will announce new sanctions.

DEFENDS CREW
IN DISASTER
Attorney Attacks Verdict in
Porter Wreck.
Special to The Times.


LA PORTE. Ind, March PAR. n
Smith, attorney for Engineer William
Long and Fireman George Block, who
are charged with involuntary man
slaughter in connection with the Porter
wreck in which thirty-seven people were
killed, has issued q vigorous protest TO
the report of the interstate commerce
commission, which placed the blame on
Engineer Long for the wrack.
Mr. Smith declares the blame should
be placed on the railroads, which sched-
uled two of their fastest trains at a
crossing within two minutes of each
ether.
The attorney said he believed the rail-
roads are trying to shift responsibility
or that the interstate commerce COM
mission did not take time to ascertain
all the facts in the case. He also de-
clares that 1t was impossible for the en-
CINE crew to see the signal at the cross
ing in time, for there is a sharp curve
at that point, which shuts of the view
until within 500 feet Of the crossing. and
in addition there is a water tank that
aids in obstructing the view. The trains
are still running on the same schedule
he stated, and eventually there will be
another wreck at this point, unless these
dangerous conditions are removed.
The commission failed to make a thor
ough Investigation OF the cause Of the
wreck, charges Smith No emphasis was
placed on the fact that a green man was
operating in the tower at the time OF the
wreck. Mr.. Smith believes that when
Long and Block have had a fair and i'm
partial trial the public viii understand
that they are not to blame for the wreck.

TAKE UP NEW
LIMITS SOON
City Boundaries Ordinance
Up This Week.

The ordinance revising the precinct
boundaries Of the city of indianapolis
cannot be prepared and presented to the
city council before late this week, Cor
poration Counsel Samuel Ashby said to-
day. The ordinance, to be effective, must
be passed and published not later than
April 2.
Mr.. Ash6y said that he is receiving
considerable information from precinct
committeeman about individual precinct
situations which must be cleared up when
the new boundaries are fixed and that
this makes the job of preparing the or
dinance long and tedious. The boun-
daries, he said, will conform to the pres
ent county precinct lines, wherever this
is possible without establishing a dis
trict in which there are more than 1000
voters, which he says, is the limit al
lowed by the law applying to the present
situation.

PUBLICATION OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO
INDEX TO GROWTH
Letter Carriers Annual of
1871 Provides Data for Con-
trGSt in Postal Service.

Memories of days gone by when Indian
apolis was a thriving, husky, growing,
immature you1gster Of a city are re-
called by a booklet entitled Second An
nuaI Address of the Letter Carriers Of
the City of Indianapolis" dated Jan. l,
1871, which has been loaned to Postmas-
ter r. E. Sprinssteen by Mrs. Jessie
Marney. Mrs. Marney is a daughter of
the late Capt. John B. Writ, one Of the
most picturesque characters ever connect
ed with the Indianapolis postal service.
Captain Writ died in the service three
years ago at the age of So years. At the
time of his death he was the oldest let
ter carrier in the United States Captain
Writ, with long, flowing white hair that
reached to his shoulders, was for many
years one Of the most striking figures in
indianapolis
BOOKLET FORMERLY
ANNUAL FEATURE.
The booklet was issued in the days be-
fore carriers were forbidden to offer any
thing for sale and was annual feature
for many years. Every New Years day
the carriers would distribute copies to
all residents along their routes and it
was a generally accepted practice for
citizens to pay for them rather hand
sOmely.
The cover is ornate and glistens with
gold ink and elaborate designs. On the
back is an Outstretched hand bearing the
words Compliments of John b. Writ,
Carrier"
A long, rambling poem, mostly devoted
TO ridicule of Napoleon III, who had
just been dethroned in France follOwin g
his defeat at Sedan, occupies the first
few pages of the back, and seems TO have
no bearing on the rest Of the contents.
1t is written IN labored limitation of
the satires Of Dryden and Pope.
FIGURES HOLD
INTEREST.
Once past this formidable barrier how
ever, the reader nnds Eoms interesting
figures that, compared to present day
statistics, speak volumes for the growth
Of Indianapolis in the past fifty years,
and the tremendous increase in business
done by tie pOstOffice department For
example, in 1870 there were nineteen car
riers as against 262 regular carriers and
twenty-seyen substitutes now in service
During the year 1870, 4,15O.O45 pieces of
the carriers. and Mr.. Springsteen est
mates that about as many more were de-
posted in the pOstoffice, bringing the
total amount Of mail handled to about
100000 pieces. The pOstOffice now
handles about $1,000. 900 pieces of mail a
month, SO it becomes apparent that the
indianapolis pOstOffice of 1921 handles as
much mail in two weeks as went through
the Office in an entire year fifty years
ago.
OF the nineteen carriers listed all are
now out Of service. the last one to 90
being George +. Sulgrove. who retired
on pension last August, after more than
hftv years of service.
When the book was issued W R Hollo-
way was postmaster, John F. Wood. as
sistant postmaster. and II. c. Holloway
WAS superintendent Of mails.
