you say will defend to your say

in regard to the college mans at
titude on wars, namely, how he felt
about fighting in an 'eXpeditionary
force" how he felt about defend
ing his country against foreign in
vaSion," whether he would fight
under any circumstances, or lastly,
would he fight at all.
If I remember correctly, the re-
suits were very surprising to any
one Who labored under the i'm
preston that the young men Of
today unequivocally would throw
themselves PROSTATE before the god
of war.
My plan is this: Why can't The
Times take a city-wide poll Of the
views of the young meh of Indian
apolis toward war? Perhaps the
results would be very enlightening.
I am sure that it wouldn't be very
long before newspapers in other
cities would follow suit.
1t is my firm belief that if our
lawmakers, our agents of diplomacy,
men who continually are pulling
strings for the protection Of some
"two by four" foreign interest, knew
that the youth of today frowned
upon war, they would truly work for
the cause Of peace, and not war.
I'll start things by giving my
views.
I am not opposed to fight for my
country in danger Of invasion.
I am opposed to fighting for the
protection of my countrymen in
foreign lands. If there is trouble
there, let them come home.
am opposed to fighting for any
group having foreign interests.
am opposed to any sort of an
alliance.
In conclusion, 7 would like to
state that as boy saw the SOL
diers going away to France in a
blaze of glory. Nothing was too
good for them-heroeS all.
Now as a young man Of 81, I see
them begging upon the streets
throughout the land. They are poor.
sheH-shocked, hopeless cripples
Would they listen to "blare Of the
blind" again? Would they listen
to the insidious forces Of propa-
ganda; the rosy stories" from the
lips of the recruiting of1cer?"
Would they swell their chests with
pride over a uniform, the plaudits
Of the multitude, the wide-eyed
maidens gaping in open worship? I
sometimes wonder. Let's have your
views on the subject, editor.
I am not pacifist, but just
young man with the normal human
desire to live in peace.

Ad Infinitun

BY HAROLD FRENCH
Youth and Age stood side by side
And each the other curiously eyed,
And Youths was a frankly
questioning stare
But Age assumed wiser air.
Age and Youth sat down alone,
Youth on the ground, but Age on
a stone,
And Age cooled his brow and
rubbed his feet,
But Youth stretched out in the
suns broad heat.
Youth and Age prepared TO dine
And Age drank water, but Youth
drank wine.
And when they had done, Youth
sang a song,
But Age said the tenor pitch was
wrong.
So Youth struck Age with sap
ling knot
And went away and soon forgot,
But later he sat at the foot OF a
hill
And rubbed his head, and blinked,
as old things viii.

NO CRIMINAL DRIVE

THE federal and state governments now
l. are cooperating in preparation for a
concerted drive on the criminal elements of
the country. This is highly commendable.
ANY form Of snti-socal activity which costs
around $4,000 OOO 900 year IS too expensive
q luxury for the American people in these
times. Yet we need to bear in mind the CO.
gent observation Of Mr.. Wickersham that So

OF the criminals on society. If we plan to move.

Cold Sensitiveness Is Dangerous

sitive to cold. When exposed to
cold they develop redness, itching,
swelling and sometimes eruption on
the skin.
In other cases they develop asth-
matte symptoms. Obviously, such
people must be particularly careful
about exposure to cold, because
sudden Submersion in extremely cold
water may be fatal to them.
A German physician reports that
he had been sensitive to cold since
childhood. Whenever he put his
foot out Of a warm bed, he eXpe-
rienced sneezing and running of
the nose. Whenever he put his
hands in cold water, they would
swell and itch Several times when
swimming, he suddenly would be-
come weak and develop blisters
around his joints.
Persons sensitive to cold, with
symptoms Of this character, risk
their lives when bathing in cold wa
ter. Certainly they should avoid
sudden submersion in cold water,
such as occurs in skating with break
ing Of the ice.

He has been, it is true, a great

been a most invigorating playmate.
I have not seen any of the most

Within the group this longevity has
been attributed to abstinence from

Capital LeUy

BY H. L. Seeger.
The unemployment of men on re-
lief with money furnished by the
national government is a form of
the capital levy. The gift horse"
has in it's mouth increased future
federal income taxes in the higher
brackets. When industrial leaders
fail to find employment oppor-
tunities for labor in useful service,
then we finally prime the pump, by
giving jobs just for the sake of
keeping the ship afoat.
1t would be more sensible to plan
our industrial production to pro-
vide jobs for all, at service that
will raise the standard of living for
all. There is no excuse for unem-
ployment, stupid selfshness defeats
the purpose of industry.

with them new hazards to health

you spend more time indoors and
are exposed to the special hazards

Actually more people are injured

there than elsewhere.
The first hazard for which you

the chapter on the evil effects of

the human foot was no more than
a road map. but when the element
Of alcohol was introduced gay color
crept into all the digestive and nerv-
GUS system.

Pleas Greenlee. It seems hardly fair
to condemn man for doing some
thing for which he is only partially
responsible. His appointments must
be approved by the Governor, whose
name will go into history as Indi-
ana'S greatest Governor.
Jim Farley is having his troubles
trying to keep peace and harmony,
and no doubt will have more said
about him when it is more common

The indianapolis office has had
not less than six vacancies in the
supervisory personnel this year and
five are to be taken care of by
Catholics, who represent only 5 per
cent of the total number of en-
ployes.
This information was given me
by one of the officials of that office.
Jim is evidently taking care of his
own without any hesitation.

they believe to be just, honorable

Dim ond Urges Special Committee to Visit
 Alaska for Purpose

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Del- egate A. J. Dimond, of Alaska, has invited Congress to investigate con- ditions in the Territory, especial ly the fish trust. If you give the power to the legislature, we can look after our problems ourselves. say that without any intention of disparaging Congress but under existing conditions it is almost inn possible to get a clear picture of the whole situation in Alaska.

 My hope is special Congress sional committee will be named to go up there this summer"
 Saying the fishing industry pro- vlded one of Alaska's biggest sourc- es of income, Delegate Dimond de- clared: Fishermen are threatened with bankruptcy because of de- preciated currency of foreign coun- tries. Unless something is done along the line of the Hill Bill to foster the Northwest fishing in- dustry, our fishing industry will be ruined.9

Bill to Raise Taxes on Trap-Caught Fish h.
 troduced by Holman

A system oI graduated taxes on fish catches made by any form of gear to take the place of the present trap license and surtax system is proposed in a measure introduced in the House yester- day by Representative Holman of Seward. It was one of four meas ures introduced yesterday and to- day in that body.
 One of the four was a bill by Representative Taylor, Cordova, to repeal Chapter II, Session Laws of 1917, which prohibits the adver- tisement of certain beverages. The Taylor bill is designed. to legalize the advertising of legal beer and wine.

 Representative McCutcheon, An chorage, is the author of the other two measures, both dealing with cost of administration of estates. One of them limits the legal fees in connection herewith to not to exceed 50 per cent of the com mission of the administrator or executor. The other establishes fees that may be collected by the United States Commissioners for issuing certain documents, and ranges from 50 cents to $5.

AMERICA IS WATCHING

WASHINGTON, March 31. = More than ever the personality and philosophy of Adolf Hitler held the attention of Americans today on the eve of the nation wide boycott on Jews in Germany.
 While the State Department sought to use it's good offices in a quiet way to avert an impend- ing economic war, those who have followed the strange career of Hit Ter found in sketches of his life and the platform of his Party many indications of strong anti Jewish feeling which is finding expression now. The story of Hit ler's life shows his anti -Semitism an outstanding feature of his own philosophy.
 Under Secretary of State Phil lips made it known that the whole Jewish question is being consid- cred carefully and some settlement is hoped for.
