CANON LAW TO MODIFY
 ITALIAN CIVIL RIGHTS

Citizens of Italy in future will thus be guided in many of their relations one to another by one of the oldest codes in the world. Canon law was first codified by Gratian in the middle of the twelfth century, but it can be trac- ed practically to the beginnings of the Roman Catholic Church.
 The introduction of Canon law will mean a number of changes in present regulations, such as those relating to marriage; but since the fundamentals of canon and civil law are practically the same, Ital- ians can carry on as before, with out much fear of interference.

PARIS, March 20.-Marshal Ferd- inand Foch died at his home here this afternoon at 12:5O o'clock, after lengthy illness.
 The foremost strategist of the great war" was Sir John Frenchs characterization of Ferdinand Foch, Marshal of France.
 Crowned with an immortal glory, as the savior of civilization" the conquer of the Germans will go down in history as the military leader who, with more than 10,000,- GOO soldiers under his command, directed five battles at once and brought peace to a world desolated by four years in indescribable ter TOT and bloodshed.
 "Humblest of Men"
 The victor of this modern Ar mageddon was said by Marshal Joffre to be "one of the humblest of men," The brilliancy of his genius was hailed throughout the world during these historic days in 1918 when the Allied armies un- der his command drove the Ger mans out of France. The magni- tude of his military operations was stupendous. He never would ad- init defeat.
 His memorable message to Joffre, the hero of the Marne, when the overwhelming armies of von Kluck were sweeping on toward Paris on September g, 1914, will ever re- main a classic with all soldiers He said
 Diplomatic Stroke
 My right is crushed. My left is in retreat. I am attacking with my center
 The appointment of Foch as Generalissimo of all the Allie d forces, on March 29, 1918, eight days after the Germans had start ed what was to be their last great offensive in the West, was gener- ally regarded as the master diplo- matic stroke of the war. Unity Of command brought fresh confidence to the Allies and consternation to the enemy.
 Germany's idol-von Hindenburg at last had met his master. The Teutonic juggernaut of infamy and injustice the war machine" which was 40 years or more in building, was about to be cast upon the scrap heap. The Pyranean noun taineer, 1.-the as panther, with outline nose of a conqueror. a man five feet six inches tall, 165 pounds in weight and 67 years old,' was to strike the final blow that was to hurl a dozen kings from their thrones and blast a new path for the pioneers of democracy.
 Three months or more after talk ing the supreme command, Marshal Foch maintained an n br ok e n front of more than $50 miles from the North Sea to Belfort. He awaited his time to strike; the arrival of American endorsements gave him numerical superiority over the enemy and on July 18 he be- gan the ponderous smash that was to end in the complete collapse of (Continued on Page Threel

VI. ". VIII Hold Annual
Poppy Sale Here May rs
Proceeds Are Used to Aid
Ex-ServiCe Men and
Their Families.

The Flanders poppy, symbol Of
Americas tribute to its war dead,
will make its appearance on the
streets of this city on May 25, 1929,
when members and friends of Hoo
sier Post No. 624, Veterans of For
eign Wars, will make their annual
appeal in behalf of disabled and
needy veterans and their depend
ents.
Those who purchase the little red
flowers will be contributing to vari-
Gus phases of welfare work that have
been assumed by Hoosier post and
the national organization. PrInar-
lily they will be buying peoples that
have been fashioned by the hands
of disabled veterans, still patients in
government hospitals throughout
the land. who are thereby afforded
a source of income for necessities
not included in government regula-
tions.
In addition, the fund created by
the sale of V. F. w. Buddy peoples
will serve to maintain many other
branches of local and national well
fare work for the benefit of eX-
service men. BY means CT the sale
of peoples, the local post is en-
abled to give aid and relief to COM
rades in distress. those whose dis
abilities have destroyed their source
of livelihood and others who have
been the victims Of unemployment
or misfortune.
Dependents Of needy ex-service
men are cared for by this fund,
which also makes it possible for the
post to give all deceased veterans
military funerals and provide prop
er maintenance of all graves.
A certain percentage of the poppy
distribution proceeds goes for the
maintenance Of service and liason
work at the various veterans bureau
regional Offices and in Washington.
This service helps the veteran in
need Of disqualification or compen-
Sation to make his way through the
endless miles of red tape and cere-
mony that is always involved, but
with which he is so unfamiliar.
