fered the committees whole-hearted
efforts to make the Illicit sale of Sc
curities a hazardous undertaking in
Indiana.
Have Given Aid
The offer has been made before and
to date the state department has been
working on plans to make this coop
Grafton effective The various cham
bers of commerce throughout the state
have consistently helped the securi.
ties commission in the enforcement
of the securities law.
For obvious reasons, the exact ma.
ture of the plan has not been made
public. 1t is understood, however
that the program will include as one
of it's features the publication of lists
of companies licensed by the securi
ties commission in the Monthly Bulle
tin which goes out to chambers OF
commerce throughout the state. These
bulletins are distributed to the mem
bers of the chambers of commerce for
their information.
The lists of licensed companies will
be kept up-to-date and prospective pur

officials in touch with the facts. The
securities commission will have the
cooperation of the various club secre
taries in local investigations.
From the very nature of illegiti

until the promoter has taken his toll
and left the state" said Mr.. Menden

move part. at least, of this difficulty
The securities law is made to protect
all the people Of the state equally, and
we shall be most glad to render sim

CITIES OF INDIANA
MAY BECOME HUBS
OF HER PAVED ROADS
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, July 22.-Plans
for making all the largest cities of In
diana the hub of paved roads at an
expenditure of s5,000000 is under con-
sideration of the state high way COM
mission, it was learned today.
Charles L. Ziegler, chairman of the
commission, said plans would be form
ulated soon fc carrying out the enter
prise so as to make use of s2,500,000
of federal aid money. available for
use by the state before June, 1922. Z
The commission, has in mind, Mr..
Ziegler said, to extend the money for
making hard surface of trunk roads
within a few miles of all the larger
Indiana cities. Fl Wayne, Terre
Haute, South Bend, Evansville, Gary.
Indianapolis and possibly other cities
will likely be the hubs of the hard
surface roads, each forming a spoke.
Generally it is purposed to place
hard surface on the trunk lines from
the city corporation lines into the
country for several miles, and then
possibly finish further distance with
stone or gravel.
Only the generally principle of the
plan has yet been considered, but it
is proposed to get work under way
soon, so that the state may not lose its
part of federal aid. The federal gov
eminent bears half of the expense for
construction and has s2,500,000 avail
able for Indiana's use before next
June, unless expended by the state,
this fund will revert to the federal
highway fund, it was said. No in
crease of the state tax is anticipated
as necessary for the state to carry out
the program.

AMERICA HOLDS KEY
TO CREDIT, SAYS LIBBY

America holds the key that will solve
the problems Of the creditless coun.
tries of Europe, according to Frederick
j. Libby, American Friends commits
sioner to Europe, who arrived here
Friday for the Young Friends con-
ference
The food situation in the European
countries is much better But the
greatest need of the peoples of those
countries this winter is for clothes
They cannot buy the clothes shipped
to their lands because of the low rate
of exchange.
For example, in Austria the Kronin
originally worth 20 cents apiece, now
sells at about 500 for a dollar, or 100
times less than its former value. Thus
if suit of clothes worth SIS is to be
bought, it means that it will tage $500
Kronin to buy it. That is equal to a
college professors salary for nearly
two months.
Poland Situation.
'The situation is the same in Pol
and, only it is worse. The only coun
tries with good credit in Europe are
Belgium and France. Belgium's cred
it is practically normal"
Mr.. Libby said that the American
Friends and the American Red Cross
have combined in soliciting clothes
both new and second handed, to be
sent to the peoples of the stricken
lands. He said that America can moi
sell her products until Europe is able
to buy them. The solution to this
problem, he said, is for America to ex
tend credit to the creditless countries
While this would lower America:
credit temporarily" said Mr.. Libby
sit would eventually cause us to re
gain a better footing because of oul
increased trade"

BOMBING TESTS over
ATTENTION IS TURNED
TO PROTECTING SHIPS
fRv Associsted press,


NORFOLK. Va, July 22-Witn the
former German dreadnaught ostIrles-
land at the bottom of the Atlantic as
a result of one ton aerial bombs ex-
ploding alongside of her, naval ex-
perts of this and other countries VIII
turn their attention to the problem OF
protecting the capital ship from this
form OF attack.
Since present day aircraft can carry
bombs containing more than three
times the amount of T N T enclosed
in torpedo or the larger mines, high
naval officers who observed the bomb
ing of the Ostfriesland off the Vir-
ginia Capes yesterday lean to the
view that the solution lies in keeping
control of the air. The construction
of a hull which could weather explo-
sions alongside of such force was re-
garded as practically impossible.
Learn Many Lessons
Naval men expect to learn many
lessons from the bombing tests con-
Quoted during the month with former
German warships as targets. Careful
study was made Of the effect Of the ex-
plosions on ship board Of the various
types Of bombs up to LOO pounds,
and some changes in future construc-
ton are expected to result. One pos
sibility suggested was that of an arm
ored deck on the top of the hull in
addition to that just below the water
line.
Some naval officers made no effort
to disguise their surprise that the
Ostfriesland fell victim to an aerial
attack. Others, however, had said
that If large bombs landed close by
the ship the hull would give way.
They pointed out that the one ton
bombs contained $50 pounds of INT
as against 230 pounds in a torpedo
and 500 pounds in the larger mines.
Tests Cut Short
The sudden sinking of the Ostfries-
land by the army bombers prevented
the carrying out of further expert
ments planned by the navy When
it was found that the 100 pound
bombs dropped in the early morning
had failed to damage the protective
QeCh, OTueTS were given W uIOp OA
the ship 14-inch shells loaded with
sand instead of explosive to determine
the penetrating power of such pro-
jectiles. Three transatlantic NC
type planes which had reached the
scene with 1000 pound bombs were
ordered not to launch them at the
target, but to proceed back to the
naval base here to load the shells.
Before they could take off, however,
the target had been sunk.

FRENCH STILL REGARD
LLOYD GEORGE REPLY
IN LIGHT OF CRISIS

PARIS, July 22-The Anglo-French
controversy which has arisen over
the demand by France that allied re-
Inducements be sent to upper Silesia
is still regarded by the French press
in the light of crisis.
While the British reply to Premier
Brands proposal that the supreme
council meet July % to discuss the
matter has not been received, press
dispatches from London to the effect
that Prime Minister Lloyd George re-
fuses to alter his position against
sending reinforcements are prominent
ly displayed in the Paris newspapers
this morning.
1t is understood that Premier Bri-
and, after meeting Of his ministers
today, will reiterate to President Mil
lerand his position and insist upon
the necessity Of sending additional
troops.
Express Surprise
Berlin's reply to the French pro-
test against German activities in the
Silesian area is expected in Paris this
morning, but the Petit Parisien be-
lieves it will have little effect on the
situation. The newspaper also ex-
presses surprise that the British gov
eminent places an entirely different
Interpretation upon the commurica-
ton from the allied high commission
at Oppeln and urges publication of the
text as proof that the French reading
is correct. This understanding in
which the British high commissioner
concurs is reported to stress the need
of more troops.
Speaking of the treaty of Versail-
| les. and the plebiscite which it pro-
vides shall determine the status of
| Silesia the Petit Parisien continues:
France does not expect fulfillment
of the treaty except by force. Franc,
will only be contented when she
knows that Germany cannot resist as
she realizes that if Germany can again
absorb Poland and other Danube
states the horrors of last centuries
will begin again. France has promised
to defend states created by the treaty,
and she alone can prevent the organi-
cation of Europe by technicians of Ber
| lin, Munich and Vienna"

Pertainex, political writer Of the
Echo de Paris, asserts that behind the
divergent views Of London and Paris
| appear two distinctly different poll
cies regarding Germany. England"
he declares, lis placing faith in the
given word of Germany, and in a SER
les of friendly accords, expects only a
normal execution of the Versailles
treaty"
