Democratic national committeeman,
in response to a QUESTIONABLE sent

ton will be governed by the decision
reached by the Indiana committee,

The Rev. Ivey declared:
"Mr. Shumaker may have erred in
Judgment at times, he may have
used forceful methods, but for
thirty years he has been serving the

gentleman. Those who know him
and have worked with him know
that his motives are pure and I'M
selfish.
ION the other hand, Mr.. Gilliom,
who has prosecuted this persecution
is himself an acknowledged violator
of the law. And the three judges
who sentenced Ed Shums.ker for
contemplating, their characters
will not stand the light of in

ED Shumaker may pay his fine.
He probably will. But he will OUT
ride this attempt TO humiliate and
crush him. The people of Indiana

EXPECT DELAY
ON SUCCESSOR
FOR WHEELER
New Counsel Probably Will
Not Be Chosen Until De-
cember, Says Shumaker.

Although the national executive
board of the Anti-Saloon League
could hold a special session to pick
a successor to Wayne B. Wheeler,
no action to pick man to take
over Wheeler's work probably will
be taken until the national board
of directors meets in December, &C
cording to Edward s. Shumaker, In
diana Anti-Saloon League superin-
tendept and executive board men,
Der.
DR.. Shumaker will attend the flu
neral Of Mr.. Wheeler, whom he
knew personally for number of
years, In Columbus Thursday.
Wayne B. Wheeler was remark
able man in dealing with men,"
Shunaker said. "He had the good
will and esteem of all the Presi-
dents from Theodore Roosevelt to
Calvin Coolidge.
Held In High Esteem
"His outstanding characteristic
was his observation-disclosures and the
real reasonableness of his nature,
which enabled him to keep the con-
fidence of the conflicting elements,
even though not in sympathy with
the cause for which he fought"
Even slightly moist" Secretary of
the Treasurer Andrew Mellon re-
garded Wheeler with high esteem,
and before the recent shakeup Of
the national prohibition force called
him in and promised that a man
acceptable to the temperance forces
would be named prohibition COM
missioner, Shumaker said.
Other Indianapolis dry leaders
also expressed their high regard Of
Wheeler, but declared his death
would not hurt the prohibition
cause.
Conscientious Attorney
"Mr. Wheeler was a very COM
petent and Conscientious attorney"
said Bishop Frederick D. Leete, In
diana Anti Saloon League trustee.
"3ut as he was not the guiding
force Of the prohibition movement,
his death will not seriously hurt
the movement. The death of any
one man will not affect the sit
uation. 1t is a question of whether
or not we are able to govern our
selves"
Wayne B. Wheeler was one\of the
one most successful leaders of re-
form we ever have had in the United
States" said Thomas G. Day,
prominent dry supporter. "His
wisdom and adroitness in dealing
with questions was very remark
able. His death was a great loss
to this country"
Most Feared Dry
Mrs. Elizabeth t. Stanley Of
Liberty, Ind, president of the In
diana w. G. T. U. said:
Wayne Wheeler was the most
feared man in the Anti Saloon
League organization. The vets never
knew what bomb he would throw
next into their ranks. He was a
very able man and it will be diff
cult to find his equal as counsel
of the league

PARIS, Sept. 6.-At the moment
Of the launching of the great allied
offensive of July, 1918, the attack
which crumbled the German forces,
Foch was heard to say, Here we go,
we'll bite them in two"
Foch frequently employs Gallo
imagery in his speech and many are
his phrases that are quoted.
I'VE have brains to make them
work." he said, and "The hour Is net
for men to amuse themselves and for
women to undress themselves think
ing they are dressing"
Didn't Get Excited
Foch was asked how he won the
war. He replied simply, I'm not get
ting excited"
But the tendency of Foch's mind
is to see only the practical side of
things.
do not speak," he said to one Of
his friends, "of fame, beauty, en-
thusiasm. They are nothing but
words. Do not say that that is ter
rible, this is magnificent. Say only,
That exists and that is enough.
The chief of great religious order
asked Foch for his advice regarding
the proper conduct of men, which
Foch gave. One of the outstanding
medical figures in France said later
that these views of Foch should be
applied to the education of children
and the care of the sick.
Take OFF Binders
When Foch has taken a decision
after thoroughly weighing and con-
sidering the question at hand, he
sticks obstinately to the course upon
which he has decided. And his
original decision nearly always sue
ceeds. 1t was so during the war.
For instance, when the battle of the
marshes Of st. Gond was turning to
the disadvantage of France, Foch
calmly and deliberately uttered the
following words:
My center is ceding, my right is
falling back. Excellent situation, I
attack"
Foch frequently says, "Take off
the binders" This is his way of
proclaiming the necessity of seeing
clearly not only in front but all
around you.
Lost Son in War
But the marshal of France does
not neglect details. During his tour
in America, Foch visited a saw-mill,
where he took pains thoroughly to
learn the organization of the entire
mill. He put questions regarding
the quality of the wood, the steel of
the saws, the method of work, and
asked for figures.
The war cost Marshal F'och a son,
Bermain Foch, and his son-in-law,
Captain Becourt, but the marshal
never speaks of his loss, which char
acterizes the man and his refusal
to show his personal emotion. How
ever, he has had placed on the wall
OF the little chapel of his manor of
Treyfeuntiniou in Brittany, a marble
plaque bearing their names and re-
calling that they died for France.
Before this memorial Marshal Foch
often comes to mediate.
1t might be asked whether Foch
cultivates hate of the Germans. The
answer is no. The following Incl
dent proves it: At a recent recep-
ton at the Elysee palace, the home
of French presidents, Foreign Min
lister BRAND introduced Foch to the
German ambassador to Paris. Foch
shook hands, and said:
Come and sit down, Mr.. Ambas-
sador." He led the ambassador to a
corner seat, where the marshal and
the German diplomat continued to
talk for more than half an hour.
