 Made By Neutrals Reiected-State of War Exists

"Intensification of military pre- parations by Bolivia makes it pre- emptory that congress authorize mobilization"
 The sudden call to the colors electrified the population, which had been waiting the governments lead. There was a general rush to recruiting offices. The recruits rang ed in age from boys to veterans of the war of 1870.
 Speakers harangued crowds in the streets with the statement, this is just war;" The declaration soon became a war slogan.
 Women, too, did their part. They organized auxiliary units and offer ed their services to the Red Cross. The general public opinion seemed possible in the cause of peace. and must now resort to war.
 Enlistment went on in all parts of the country, while hundreds of volunteers who arrived here were placed in concentration camps. University students formed bat talion to receive military training.
 Bolivia Is Ready
 La fdZ, bOllVld, Aug I-NO' I.) Bolivia announced she was ready to-day to settle her dispute with Paraguay "by force of arms"
 An official reply to the latest fu- tile efforts of neutral representa- tives at Washington also contained Bolivia's formal notification that she must have on outlet to the sea. We have the right to bank of the River Paraguay" the govern ment said.
 Paraguay is concentrating troops in the Chaco, and while Par aguay maintains this aggressive campaign we reply categorically that Bolivia will maintain the same attitude" the neutral nations were informed.
 "For this reason the country is reacting with all forces to solve teh dispute, even by force of arms. We are defending territory that is ours historically. We have the right to a bank of the River Paraguay"
 Bolivia, land-locked, long has toughs an outlet for her products to the seas. The river running through the disputed Chaco region

Asuncion, Paraguay, Aug 3 - GU. P.)-Youthful cadets of the National Military Academy, march ed to the war drums that called them to war against Bolivia to- day after congress authorized gem eral mobilization.
 . Women wept in the streets. men cheered wildly, and boys in their teens joined veterans in the rush to recruiting stations after the cadets marched through the capital streets for the last time before starting for the Gran Chaco region.
 The parade was led by Major Arthur Bray. holder of several medals for service fwith the Brit ish army during the World War. The cadet band set an inspiring tempo for the young volunteers. The crowds shouted Paraguay, Paraguay, as the cadets marched briskly to the residence of Pres- ident Guggaria, who told them fare we'll.
 A bulletin at the military acad- emy notified the cadets that classes were suspended in order to form an infantry battalion for service in the Chaco.
 "The cadets will parade in the streets for the last time and bid farewell to the president of the re- public before the young soldiers take up their fighting positions" the bulletin said.
 ITO morrow to barracks: later to the Chaco, with firm resolve"
 The foreign office made a final bid for arbitration of the dispute with Bolivia in a cablegram to the president of the league of nations council. The message expressed willingness to attempt peaceful ne- gotiations, but added that "Boliv- ian attacks express categorical vio- lation of article x and article XI of the League of Nations covenant"
 President Guggiari's message to congress requesting ratification of a decree for mobilization said the measure was necessary flor gener- al defense"
 "Bolivia, without a declaration of war, has carried out hostile acts. thus compelling the nation to pre- pare to repell illicit attacks" the presidential message said.

WITHOUT exaggeration, it is
IMPOSSIBLE to say that the pri-
mary election a week from Tues
day is the most important in almost
a decade.
Every primary election is of more
Importance to the people Of the
state than the general election in
the fall-for it gives the taxpayer
and voter opportunity to make
selection of the men he believes
best would represent him in office.
That is why, for the many years
since enactment of the primary
law, that corrupt and grating
political bosses have prayed for
bad weather on primary day, so that
the average citizen would stay
away from the polls and enable the
machine workers and hirelings to
nominate the tickets without much
effort or opposition.

mitted the two organized minorities,
the Ku-KluX Khan and the Anti
Saloon League, to seize control of
the Republican party.
An aroused electorate in 1923 and
1880 partially broke the shackles,
but the work is not finished, espe-
cially in Marion county, where
George V. Coffin, discredited boss,
still pulls the strings behind false
front.
Due to Vaccinations of power
thirsty politicians and lack of inter-
est on the part Of voters the 1929
legislature abolished the direct pri-
mary for President, Governor and
senator in Indiana.
We are back to the delegate sys-
tenn whereby those in control of the
party machinery shuttle the cards
IN back rooms and, without respect
Tor the wishes or needs of the peo-
pie, deal themselves the nominees
for Indiana's Governor and Indi-
ana'S senator.
1t was the rule and not the ex-
ception before the direct primary
on these important offices was en-
acted that only those were selected
who would further the selfish and
grating ambitions of the bosses.
The manipulators of utilities
which browbeat and gouge the pub
lie will not be asleep primary day
they will have their states of leg
ls%"tive candidates circulated under
various high-sounding names.
Organizations representing privi-
lege and special favors for few
also are compiling for distribution
states of legislative candidates who
will serve them and not the people.
Candidates who seek offices in the
hope of gaining wealth through the
favors which they will be able to
grant are also in the fleld-bally-
hooed by the expectant recipients.
AS against such groups are others
who are making the races for
nomination with the ideal of public
service before them.
Each party's ballot this year is
overlong and confusing.
Therefore, following the principle
Of telling the truth about politics,
this column, each day this week,
will discuss primary campaign
issue and furnish whatever infor-
nation is available concerning the
factors behind the various moves.
