Annual Inventory Shows Fl
Pieces of Property Now
Owned by Citizens.

Citizens of Indiana own twenty
one pieces of recreational and his
torical property, tOtaling 29,233 acres
and valued at more than two million
dollars, Richard Lieber, director Of
the conservation department an
nounced today upon completion Of
the annual inventory.
Building this vast estate for the
public progressed more rapidly dur
ing the past three and one-hali
years than in the four and one-halt
years previous, Lieber, who has been
head OF the department for nine
years declared.
During the present administration
%, TOO acres were added to the public
domain, the last addition being
made Monday when $500 acres were
added to the Brown County game
preserve as a public park.
Park Control Unified
When the present administration
headed by Governor Ed Jackson
took office Jan. /, 1925, there were
but 4,473 acres of State park land
divided into nine properties.
Nine years ago, when the con-
servation department was inau-
gurated, Lieber said. conservation
in this State was something vague
and but little understood other than
by small group of people, who saw
in its practices an opportunity to
underwrite advancement of the
State in utilization of natural re-
sources. Many people at that time
could see only a selfish or personal
motive in the coordination of several
Independent State offices into one
department.
Today it is generally accepted
Lieber declared, that 81: main
divisions do q better job handling
the conservation interests of In
diana than twenty-three boards,
commissions and offices did working
disconnectedly.
Plan River Park
Parks owned by the State include:
McCormick's Greek Park, Turkey
IOull L din, OlA1Cy dIlS L dA p, MUS
catatuck Park Clark County State
forest, Riverside, Tri-Lakes, Wawa-
see and Bass Lake hatcheries, In
diana Dunes Park, Pokagon Park,
Brown County game preserve, Kan
kakee fish and game preserve,
Nancy Hanks Lincoln burial ground,
Tippecanoe battlefield, Avoca fish
hatchery and the Lanier memorial
and the Corydon Statehouse.
Plans are rapidly being completed
for a State park to extend along
both sides of the Tippecanoe River
for eighty miles between Winamac
and Warsaw, which will preserve for
the people one of the most beautiful
streams in the country, Lieber said.

PROPOSALS TO
STEM CONFLICT
OFFERED LATE
First Volume of Official War
Correspondence Is
Published.
NATION HOPED TO LAST
Moves to Mediate Made
Only After Europe Had
Modified.
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN.
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The
first volume of official American
war correspondence, published to-
day, lifted the curtain on the tragic
days preceding the wars outburst
in 1914.
The document revealed the United
States hopeful to the last that the
world catastrophe would not come.
1t pictured this nation as making
no attempt to stem the war flood
until most OF the powers had &C
tually mobillzed, and then not I'M
til Ambassador Herrick at Paris
cabled President Wilson the startl-
ing warning that the situation sis
regarded here as the gravest in his
tory"
The correspondence, being pub
hShed in six volumes covering the
years 1914 to 1919, contains all i'm
portant communications between
the State department and diplo-
matte representatives here and
abroad.
Ignorant of Situation
In the summer of 1914 American
diplomats in Europe were apparent
ly without authentic information as
to the true situation. Even a month
after the SeraJevo assassination on
June % had kindled the fire which
was to envelop the world, they be-
lieved a general war was not in sight,
the document shows. AS late as
July q, Ambassador Gerard cabled
from Berlin, IT have reason to be-
lieve matters will be arranged with
out a general European war"
F. E. Mallett, vice consul general
at Budapest, knew of the mobiliza-
ton of Austrian troops along the
Serbian border, movement which
plunged all Europe into conflict, but
instead of cabling this vital news
home, he sent it by mail, his letter
reaching Washington July 81.
The following day came Her.
rick's warning that civilization is
threatened" and urging President
Wilson to make "a strong plea for
delay and moderation" Secretary of
State Bryan Immediately meSsaged
Ambassador Page in London asking
if an offer to mediate would "be ac-
ceptable or serve any high purpose
in the present crisis" Page replied
July 81 that Sir Edward Grey, Brit
ish foreign minister, was unrespon-
SiVe.
Mediation Attempts Fail
Bryan again called Page, explain
ing that the President was anxious
to do everything in his power to
avert war" To this the ambaSsa-
dor answered Aug. 8, There is not
the slightest chance of any result
if our good offices be offered at any
continental capital. This is con-
firmed by the judgment of the
British foreign Office"
On Aug. 4, with Russia, Germany,
AuStria-Hungary, Serbia and Bel
GUM already in the war, and with
England about to join, Bryan trans
mitted to Russia, Germany and
Austria, Wilson's offer to mediate.
Aug. 5 the proposal was also sent
Great Britain and France.
These governments all rejected
the offer.

rebellion, unchecked by the domi-

Women Win
New charm, new beauty
by a morning drink

Do you realize how much beauty,
how much charm depends on inner
cleanliness?
Do you know how poiSons and
wastes in the system affect your
complexion, your fitness, your vi
vacity?
Then do this in the morning-or
any time-when you know that poi
sons need elimination. Drink a
glass of water, hot or cold. Add a
little "Epsonade." 1t will make a
sparkling drink.
The effect is to flush the intes-
tines in way pleasant, prompt
and gentle. Results usually appear
in an hour. And they come from
the acids of lemon and grape.
Don't wait for delayed effects
Keep at your best. Correct wrong
conditions quickly.
Let a trail of "Epsonade" show
what this means to you. Get a
small quantity at a small cost, at
your OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
