Only the slow chisel of time can
carve the truth of history. That which
we debate holly and surround with
words and eagerness and doubts and
disappointments fades and Is forgot
ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon
our tongues and too obvious to be dis
cussed, is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such revalua-
ton made itself felt on Memorial day
last year. In the commemoration OF
the day here and abroad there was
silent power that all who participated
could not but feel. Tears were nearer
the surface than any one suspected,
memories more poignant. The very
thought of our dead lying in the soil Of
France, their graves covered with flow
ers by the hands of French women
and French children, the bugles of
their French comrades blowing over
them, stirs the deeps Of reverence and
loyalty.
A scene in France, in one Of the
largest cemeteries In which American
soldiers are buried. is thus beautifully
described:
Scene Most Picturesque.
Beyond the wall masses of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
Of the houses. In the distance few
lazy clouds, in sky of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent Of flowers filled the air, At
our feet low mounds and white
crosses. Above our heads. at half mast,
the Stars and Stripes.
Monsieur Gounele, in black cassock,
spoke in French and explained to his
people the meaning of Memorial day.
One felt, instinctively, their sympathy
and love.
Then we laid on every grave spray
OF flowers and breathed prayer for
the absent ones. Each girl felt per-
sonally responsible for each mound in
the row she decorated. How clear the
names on those crosses stood out even
though a year had passed!
The French officers laid wreath at
the foot Of the flag pole and one Of
them spoke with tenderness OF the he
roes who had gone on. Already there
hung upon the pole lovely wreaths
from the Vile de Chateaurou1, from
the French mothers association, and
other local organizations.
The chaplain from the post at Mon.
tierchaume addressed US. and then
three volleys rang out upon the air,
the m!ssivss winging their way over

MAYOR WILLING TO
QUIT RACE IN Behalf
OF BUSINESS MAN

Before leaving Saturday to receive
a ten-day treatment which may result
in the amputation of a finger, Mayor
w. w. Zimmerman authorized Ed.
Hollarn to say for him than in case
a man like James A Carr could be in
duced to submit his name for the
nayoralty nomination, he. would will
lingly withdraw.
Mayor Zimmerman said he thought
it would be a good thing for the city,
and that Mr.. Carr could give the city
the best business administration OBJ
taina BILE
Mr.. Hollarn also said that the report
that Mayor Zimmerman had been re-
sponsible for bringing out some of the
present candidates for mayor were
without the least foundation.
Not Interested.
IT know nothing about the candidacy
OF any of the men who have submitted
their names" Mayor Zimmerman said
to Mr. Holiarn, who is park commits
sioner and a personal representative
Of the mayor.
Mr. Carr is one Of Indiana's distin-
guished citizens. He was chairman of
the allied purchasing commission dur
ing the war and was decorated by the
French and Italian governments for
his services.
The home rule bill is to be reporte ed
out of committee in the senate Monday
or Tuesday. Several amendments have
been made to the measure by the SEN
ate committee at the request of City
Attorney Keller and Speaker Mcclure.
One amendment would prevent the
holding Of a nominating primary. if
the bill becomes law. This would be
saving of about $4,000 for the city.
After the senate passes the amended
bill it will be returned to the house for
concurrence in the amendments.

REACHES 43
Lives Are Lost When Michi-
gan Central and New York
Central Crash at Diamond
Shaped Crossing.
MISS THE BLOCK SIGNAL
(By Associated Press)


PORTER, Ind, Feb. 28.-Forty-three
bodies had been recovered early this
afternoon from the wreck last night
when the Canadian and the Interstate
Limited on the Michigan Central and
New York Central lines respectively.
crashed at a crossing. 1t was a dia-
mond shaped crossing permitting the
New York train, which struck as the
other sprawled derailed, across the in
tersection, to rake two Michigan Cen
trail cars instead of cutting them at
right angles.
The Michigan Central train had
missed the block signals, said to be
set against it, and had been derailed
by derail that officials said was auto
maticolly set against it along with ths
signals. 1t plunged ahead on the ties
until 1t came to rest across the New
York Central right of way with two
day coaches at the point of intersec-
ton. At nearly so miles an hour the
New York Central train came on, the
glare of its headlight warning many
of the doomed passengers who leaped
from their seats. One or two reached
the doors but not one escaped the
crash.
Locomotive Stripped.

motive was stripped as it hit, wreck
age flying up above the telegraph
wires with a cloud of dust witnesses
likened to an explosion. Bodies of
several passengers were carried with
the locomotive and buried beneath It,
All the dead were in the two Mich
igan Central coaches which carried
few through passengers. Upwards of
so persons bound for Quebec, Mont
real, and Toronto, were aboard the
east bound Canadian. Their cars were
not much damaged. The New York
train was bound for Chicago.
Coaches Sheared.
One track of the New York Central
was cleared of wreckage this morning
but the Michigan Central was still
blocked. The New York Central train
struck the Michigan Central day
coaches at such a sharp angle, approx
imately As degrees, that the breadth
of two coaches were embraced in its
patch. These were sheared almost
from end to end.
Instantly Killed.
Railroad officials were at a loss TO
explain the phenomenon of the de-
capitation of so many of the victims.
Half of the dead were apparently in
stantly killed.
Engineer Confers.
William Long, engineer of the Michi-
gan Central train, and his fireman,
George Block, who disappeared after
the wreck, were said to be in confer
ence with Michigan Central officials
today. A message from Chicago po
lice. asked officers at Michigan City
to keep watch for Long. but the chief
of police announced this morning that
he would make no effort to find the
! missing engineer. as he had no author
ity to detain him.
1t was learned that Block arrived
at his home in Michigan City early
this morning. and that he and his wife
left their apartment about six O'Clock
this morning.

ATTITUDE OF
GREECE May
BE CHANGED
Has Refused to Accept Pro-
posal that Investigation Of
Conditions Be Made in
Thrace and Smyrna.
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, Feb. 28.--Greece has re-
fused to accept the proposal that an
investigation of conditions be made in
Thrace and Smyrna preparatory to
making alterations in the Sevres
treaty. NJ. Kalogeropoulos. head of
the Greek delegation in this city, today
received telegram to this effect from
the Athens government
The telegram was not presented Of
ficially to the allied premiers, and they
were simply allowed to know it's con-
tents indirectly.
May AnnuI Message.
It is considered possible, therefore.
that subsequent telegram may annul
the one received today. In any event,
the Greek refusal was not taken seri-
ously it was said, in allied circles.
Pending the opening of the confer
ence On reparations, representatives
of the allied foreign offices took up a
number of questions with the Greeks
and Turks today, among which is the
appointment OF Turk to the Constan-
tinople financial commission. 1t is
probable that Djavid Bey, a former
minister of finance, will be appointed.
Hold Mass Meetings.
The Greek legation in London re-
ceived last night message that mass
meetings had been held in Athens,
Pjraeus and Smyrna, at which were
passed resolutions declaring that
Greece was prepared for any sacrifice
of blood in defense of her sacred
rights, which were embodied in the
Sevres treaty. and recording the pain
full impression given Greece at the
proposal that an inter-allied commits
sion investigate conditions in Thraca
and Asia Minor.
In the meantime Moslem members
of the council and state legislative
assembly of Delhi have asked the sec
retary of state for India to suggest
to the near east conference the res
toTation of Thrace and Smyrna to the
Turks. Counter charges that cruelties
have been inflicted by the Greeks upon
Turkish subjects ip the Smyrna region
have been fled by the Turks.
Discuss Dilemma.
Newspapers of this city today dis.
cussed the dilemma before the allies

treaty might jeopardize the whole set.
uement, and that the allies might lose
Greek support without gaining the
good will of the Turks. In other words
it was said that if full execution of
the Sevres pact should be insisted
upon, the Greek army-the sole instru-
ment for its enforcement might no
longer be available.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The Fed
eraI Farm loan act was held consti-
tutional today by the supreme court.
This Is the act under which land banks
were established to extend loans. to
farmers.
Farm loans aggregating more than
$50, 100000 have been held up since
May 1920 as result of the suit insti-
tuted by Charles E. Smith, a stock
holder in the Kansas City Title and
Trust company, to test the validity of
the Federal Farm Loan Act. Applca-
tions to this amount were pending
when Commissioner Lobdell announc-
ed at a conference of farm loan Of
ficial here that official approval would
be withheld pending a decision of the
court.
Loans In Allegiance.
Officials placed the total amount of
loans to farmers held in abeyance by
the suit at many times $50,000,000,
however, the receipt of applications
having stopped with Commissioner
Lohdell's announcement. On March l.
1920 the Farm Loan board reported
that $182,S97 900 had been advanced
to 1884 farmers and that applica-
tions from I79.734 persons then pend
ing totalled SAT- 100000.
The suit in the supreme court was
in the form Of an appeal from lower
court decisions refusing to issue an
injunction to restrain the Kansas City
Title and Trust company from invest
ing it's funds in bonds issued by the
Farm Loan banks. The government,
the Federal Land bank Of Wichita,
! kas.. the First Joint Stock Land bank
of Chicago, on their own application,
were made defendants in order that
the entire question might be settled
finally in one suit.
Exceeded Powers, Claim.
Counsel for Mr.. Smith asserted in
substance that the Farm Loan act
was an exercise of power which con-
sress did not possess under the con-
stitution. Further ground for attack
was found in the exemption of the
farm loan securities from taxation, as
