in a God-pleasing manner and that
we do not forget God in giving
those heroes credit and honor"

is comparatively easier to revere the
dust of noble men and women re-
posing in cemeteries than to follow
their good example"

Anderson Cemetery

Soldiers of the Revolutionary
war were giverS of Liberty, those of
the Civil war savers Of the Union;
while the men of the World war
saved Union and Liberty for us;
now it is up to US to Consecrate our
lives to preserving that which they
saved" declared Judge Vincent
Manifold, in the principal address
at the morning exercises at 10
o'clock in the Anderson cemetery
for the soldier dead.
1T is our duty as peace soldiers to
bring more harmony into the
world" he said.
He expressed the belief that law
enforcement problems in America
were made more difficult because of
the many races, creeds, and ma
tionalities blended by the melting
pot of this continent-the United
States.
Samuel F. Rumford was master
of ceremonies at the services. The
invocation was given by the Rev.
w. B. Collier. A firing squad from

MIGRATION BAN
HELPS ITALY,
SAYS GENERAL
Factories Springing Up to
Employ Surplus Men,
Writer Claims.

BIZ UHitcd Press
NEW YORK, May 3O-The new
emigration laws promulgated by
Mussolini are doubling Italy's pro-
ductive capacity for national wealth,
says General Charles H. Sheriff.,
one time American minister to the
Argentine, in the May Review of
Reviews.
The Italian laborer, as Mussolini
himself once remarked, was for long
the country's chief eXportable raw
product. Now the new laws def
nitely restricting the departure of
italians for less crowded countries
have found him productive employ
ment at home.
Follow Germany
General Sheriff. believes that
Mussolini has seen industrialization
as the key to Italy's future, and that
he may have studied how a similar
phenomenon worked out in Ger
many. There, in 1884, 100000 men
left the fatherland yearly. In the
year before the war II 900 more per-
sons came into Germany than
left it.
THAT is what factory chimneys
did for Germany" says General
Sheriff.. THAT is what factory
chimneys ought to do and will for
Japan. Is Mussolini thinking that
factory chimneys should do this for
Italy?
Few foreigners realize how con-
siderable is the current development
in Italy of private and public en-
terprises, offering new opportunities
for employment to large numbers
Look at the redemption of coast
lands in Tuscany and Campania
and also in the loWlands Of Sar-
dina. Sardinia is only slightly
smaller than Sicily, yet has only
one-quarter its population. When
her lowlands are drained, she can
support as many people as Sicily
Develop Water Power
A second great advancement
pointed out in the Review of Re-
views article is the development OF
water power in the Alps and down
the spine of the lower Apprentices.
The great bar to the industrializa-
ton of Italy has been her lack of
coal. Previously all coal used was
imported by sea or rail from Eng
land and Germany-a vast expense.
Nov the Italian engineers, says
General Sheriff., have harnessed
the Snow-fed Alpine rivers for sum-
mer use and the rivers in the Apen-
mines for winter use and united al
the vast chain into one enterprise
And they are developing produc-
ton Of hydro electric power esti-
mated to surpass more than 12,000,-
900 tons of coal each year.

HUGE RACE CROWD
HANDLED SPEEDILY
Little Congestion on Roads:
Trains, Buses, Cars and
TaxiS Packed.

Indianapolis railroad, traction and
bus officials and police have become
so adept at handling the worlds
largest sporting event crowd that the
downtown district suffered less
traffic confusion today than on an
ordinary week day.
The amazing orderliness of the
traffic was the more startling be-
cause officials said that more per-
sons appeared to be going to the race
in their own cars titan ever before.
Transportation officials having
gotten the business of handling the
crowd down to almost an exact
science there was no confusion on
that score.
No Pause in Traffic
With tWo-thirds of the uniformed
police force handling motor traffic
there were practically no pauses for
the creeping serpents of automo-
biles on Washington, Tenth, Six
teenth and Thirtieth streets, the
main arteries.
AS the cars neared the Speedway
there was the usual slowing up, but
gatemen clicked them through with
efficient regularity so that by the
time the starting bomb was fired
even the motorists who left homes
or hotels late we're either inside the

Traffic policemen took their posts

til the crowd is cleared late this
afternoon. Big -Four shuttle trains

Cars Every Minute
The Terre Haute, Indianapolis q
Eastern Traction Company started
the endless chain of interurban and
city cars at 4:30 a. m. The peak was
reached between $3.50 and 9 a. m.
Bus service was operated between
Monument Circle and the Speedway
by the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company. Police kept special traf-
fic artery open for buses and taXis.
Every passenger hauling device on
four wheels, which could be pressed
into service by either organized or
independent operators, was garner
ing the golden harvest.
General admission ticket peddlers
roved the downtown district early in
the morning, helping to prevent
congestion at the Speedway ticket
booths.

Eulogiznig the American soldier,
Archibald M. Hall, noted Indiana
orator. gave the main talk at the
services held in Washington park
cemetery, under auspices Of the Con-
yention City post, No. l4O5, Veterans
of Foreign Wars.
The American soldier never has
learned retreat or surrender. He
always has comported himself in a
rightful manner in battle and al
ways has fought for a justifable
cause. The bigness of strife has
been a challenge to him. He has
learned to wave a CHEEKY good luck
