Ail rights of republication of spa cll dispatches herein are also reserved. State Institutions Food costs more now than it did a few years ago. Consequently there is no reason for sur prise at the expenditures for food for state insti tutions. One institution's milk bill increased $2,200 this year. The inmates of the state's penal and corrective institutions have to wear clothing, and this clothing is furnished by the state. It costs more now than it formerly cost, regardless of the cut or the quality. ' Whether or not there has been intelligent and economical management on the part of those who conduct the institutions is not revealed in the recent reports, but as there are no charges of waste or extravagance there is no reason to sus pect that such conditions exist. Consequently many of the increased expenses may be set down to the same causes that increase the cost of living in private homes. The state's wards must be housed, fed and clothed, even at an increased cost to the taxpayers. ; The penal farm in Putnam county has made a better financial record than any of the other state institutions. This is probably because all prisoners are required to work if they are physic ally able. Indiana was one of the first states in the country to experiment with the penal farm idea and so far the experiment has justified ex pectations. It is probable that in future years the farm or colony idea will be developed greatly in this state. Such institutions may be conducted more cheaply than other kinds. The state prison could not be converted into a farm because great er restrictions on the liberty of the prisoners must be imposed, but the farm or colony idea can well be adapted to many other institutions in Indiana Indianapolis News. FRENCH SOLDIERS DOFF PANTS TO FORL RIVER CHASING BULGARS HP. Wayne County Organizes to Send Aid to Sufferers of Near East The people of the United States have been asked to give $30,000,000 in the coming campaign for Armenian and Syrian relief In order that the lives of two and one-half million starving people in the Eastern War Zone may be saved. Wayne county has been asked for $11,000. The organization of city, county and district commit tees throughout the United States has already been begun for the campaign which will be from January 12 to 19. Lester Hart has been appointed general chairman of the Richmond committee. Charles Jordan will be in charge of the speakers, and the following persons have been asked to serve on the general committee: Mrs. A. W. Roach. Rev. W. J. Cronin. S. W. Hayes, Lawrence Handley. Walter C. Woodward, Dr. L. F. Ross, C. L. Som merson. E. M. Haas and Rev. R. L. Remans. The city committee will probably meet next Monday afternoon at the Commercial Club to discuss their plans and make primary arrange ments for the campaign. County chair men will be announced as the organi sation has not yet been completed. Secretary Carl Ullman of the Com mercial Club is general manager of the campaign in Wayne, Fayette, Rush and Union counties, and will report the organization of the other counties as soon as it is completed. William Dudley Foulke will represent this district on the State Executive committee. Relief for sufferers in the Russian Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia, South ern Palestine and within the Ottoman Empire (where the principal work will be conducted) is to be cabled in the form of credit through the War Board so the funds cannot be intercepted. No government grants are available for the people of these countries, such as those given Belgium. Northern" France, and Serbia. American gener osity is their only hope. "America entered the great War that the rights of small nations may never again be trampled upon," said an eminent speaker recently. "These noble litle nations of the Near East have kept the faith and borne the burden of massacre which thousands of miles have kept from our homes. "Victory has come. And now theso nner toriei9 3 "Isn't it wonderful what science can do?" said the landlady. "I see that they have produced the seedless prune." "I don't see anything wonderful about that," replied the boarder. "It would Interest me more if they sue ceeded in producing a prunelees prune. Food Regulator Merritt was discuss Ing the high cost of living and other things and remarked that the fluctua tions come so fast that It Is impossible to keep an accurate line on prices. We are all In the same position as the email boy who said to his mother: "Why do hats cost more than houses, mamma?" "But they don't, dear. What makes you think so?" "Well, that sign says: 'Hats, $10 up.' and yesterday I saw a sign that said: 'Houses. $10 down." Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois Mine Workers, said in a Joliet Interview: ... "When conditions are bad it .is im p'oMlble to keep the fact secret It's Ilk the testimony of the miner. "A miner, suspected of a crime, at tempted to prove an alibi. "'You say,' the prosecutor thunder ed at him. 'that on the day the crime was committed you were at the rail way station. What in heaven's name were you doing at the railway station from 10 o'clock in the morning till 1:30 at night?' - , " 'I was waiting.' the witness ans wered, 'for the arrival of the noon ? proas'" bravest and staunchest pilgrims in sight of the goal of freedom, stand for lack of $30,000,000 the $5, $10, $50 and so on that we in America can give- In immediate danger of starva tion or of death from diseases of war and hunger. Are we going to help them? There are 3,950,000 souls, 400, 000 of whom are orphans, all In des perate "need." Seventeen cents a day will feed each person. The dollars of the American people will go in fuU to save the lives of in dividuals and of whole countries. All expense of collection and distribution is met privately. Of the $12,321,145.93 collected before Sept. 30, 1918. $12, 371,145.92 was sent to the field of need. The extra $50,000 over collec tions was Interest accrued from daily balances. The question has been asked why doesn't the Red Cross do It? The Red Cross found the machinery of relief already at work In the Near Eastthe missionaries, who know the people and speak their languages, and all official representatives of the United States had been organized by the American committee for Armen ian and Syrian relief. Channels of distribution were well established. And the Red Cross asked the commit tee to carry on all relief work in the Near East territory, in order that there be neither duplication nor lost motion. The territory is Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Armenia, Persia, and Northern Egypt. Full government approval and co operation is given to the Commis sion's work. All funds are transmitted-through the Department of State. The shipping board and all consular agents of the United States govern ment give every possible aid. A Commercial Travelers Division has been organized because traveling men of the United States wanted to get on the work together and "full force." The Supreme Council, U. C. T. passed resolutions requesting the members to use their influence in support of this relief work.

Clapp, 226 South Eleventh street, has received a letter from his son. Private Don C. Clapp, Motor Transport Corps, Mechanical Repair Shop 301, France,, dated Nov. 24. The letter reads, in part: "It hasn't rained since the war end ed. It is Just like the late fall -days at home, so you can imagine how every one feels. We are working in shops that we built ourselves. It is some place at that. This is the first time this has been done by anyone except the engineers, but we made a go of it. At present I am working in the sheet metal department repairing motor cycle tanks that have shell holes and dents in them. I have done most ev erything and have worked . at all trades since I have been in France. I expect to drive a car on a truck con voy in a couple of weeks. While I am in the shop I am working beside my firepot so I will be warm and dry all winter. Believe me, this is more than I could say last winter. We have had our ups and downs all the way through, and most of the time it has been downs, but things look very bright for us now. Of course the best was done for us at all times, but that at the most was not very good in some ways. Taking it all in all I am glad that I did what I did and that I am in the army now. When I come out I expect to come out with a clean record, and much better in mind and body than when I enlisted. They say the army will make or break one and I really think it has made a man of me."

PROTEST MONOPOLY OF CHINESE IMPORTS (By Associated Preas PEKING. Dec. 30. The American legation has lodged a protest with the Chinese governmental authorities against the sanctioning of an export and import monopoly by a Chinese limited liability company, plans for which were put forward by Tsao Julin, acting minister of France, and T'ien Wen-lich, minister of Agriculture and Commerce. The company is to have a capitaliza tion of $5,000,000 with shareholders limited to Chinese citizens, and is to begin operations Immediately the shares are subscribed. The objects as set forth in the Official Gazette are to "deal in all sorts of raw and manu factured articles both export and im port, and to act as agents for the gov ernment, for companies, for business firms or individuals in handling both exports and imports." Article Six of the "Regulations" con tains the feature to which especial ob jection is made bythe American Le gation as a direct contravention of American treaty rights on the ground that it creates a monopoly which would effectively shut out off compe tition by American firms r corpora tions in the Chinese market. The article provides: "All commodities which can be ex ported or imported only on special per mits from, the government shall be handled by the company by special permits. "When the government or any or ganization under the control of the government needs articles, this com pany shall be appointed the agent by special permit to purchase the goods required." Another article provides that when the government wishes to "stimulate trade in any native products" it shall notify the company of the fact and shall "order the company to take meas ures to increase the import or export as a part of Its obligation." Adriatic Littorals Are Culturally Italian (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 30. A portfolio of photographs, largely pictures of Italian architecture of ' ancient and Medaeval times designed to support Italy's claim at the peace conference that Trieste, Istria and the central part of Dalmatia are still "culturally Italian" despite . Austrian efforts to destroy their nationalism, has been forwarded to President Wilson 'at Paris by special massenger, it was an nounced here today by Col. Ugo Piz zarello, head of an Italian mission to the United States. According to Col. Pizzarello these photographs will prove that Italy has a right to the dis puted territories. The photographs show ancient churches, stairways, portals, gardens, mansions of the nobility, towers and garden walls in the Adriatic littorals. The photographs are handsomely bound in leather, decorated with red morocco and tooled with gold. Airplanes Mapping Mail Routes Going to Dayton INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 30. The first of the three airplanes flying from Houston, Tex., to Detroit, Mich., to map out aerial mall routes, arrived here late Friday afternoon from Belleville. 111. Lieut. D. M. Jones and Lieut. Hill left Belleville at 1:15 p. m. and made the 230 miles in two hours, being com pelled to fly very low because of the snow-storms encountered nearly all the way. Lieut. Jones said they were unable to find the aviation field at the Speedway here in the dusk and landed instead at the State Fair grounds, later taking their "ship" over to the Speedway when they had located it by telephone. They will await the arrival of the other two airplanes before starting the next leg of their journey to Day ton, O., Lieut. Jones said. One of the machines left behind at Belleville is being repaired, but both are expected to arrive here today or tomorrow. The airplane carrying Lieuts. Lawson Henry and J. P. Wagener also started yesterday, but soon turned back be cause of the snow-storm. PROHIBITION ON GABLES REMOVED WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.

GOAL SITUATION IS ENCOURAGING The coal situation In Richmond Is a great contrast to what It was one year ago, the dealers in this city say. All coal dealers have been able to get plenty of Indiana and Ohio coaL but only one dealer so far has been able to get anthracite coal from the east, according to statements made today. All the dealers agree on one thing about the coal situation. That is that the weather will decide whether the coal situation Is as bad as it was last winter. Last year the weather was very severe long before this and the temperature went as low as 25 below zero In this city last winter. . According to the weather reports and predictions by the department of agriculture, it is not expected there will be any such weather as that of last year. Besides the weather bu reau predictions, the old citizens of the city have said that the weather can never be so severe for two con secutive winters, so there seems to be nothing to worry about in the coal situation. The price of anthracite coal is a great deal higher than ever before, as it costs $12.10 a ton. It was about $7.50 per ton before the war. Japan has eighty artificial dye factor ieswith an annual capacity in excess of 10,000,000 pounds. PESSIMISM RULES ... ON STOCK EXCHANGE (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Dec. 30. Pessimism was the dominant note of the final week of the year on the stock ex change, prices, with few exceptions, recording additional concessions. In several important Instances these rep resented lowest levels since the sign ing of the armistice. Conflicting opinions expressed by leaders of finance and industry as to the outlook encouraged traders to ex tend their short commitments, despite the restrictions which are supposed to suround operations for that ac count. Resumption in heavy liquidation In Liberty bonds with the first and sec four's and four and a quarter's' at a still lower record and the acute weak ness of utilities, especially local trac tions, embraced the most direct cause of general unsettlement. According to trustworthy accounts, no small percentage of the week's out pourings of stocks and bonds emenat ed from wealthy individuals and cor porations, preliminary to the adjust ment of incomes for the expiring year. The future of the country's trans portation systems was again the sub ject of much conjecture. This uncer tainty was expressed in the irregular ity of investment shares, which suf fered greater impairment, relatively, than issues still in progress of reor ganization. Post-war price conditions were most effective in the copper groups, which reacted sharply on the cut In the Ana conda dividend, but rallied substan-X tially on the retention of the regular disbursement by the Inspiration directors.
