BODY TO RULE
TURK STRAITS
NEXT QUESTION
Strong Objection
League Control
to
(By Associated PrMS)
LAUSANNE, Dec. 1L The question
of how control of the Turkish straits
will be administered whether through
some body under the League of Na
tions or under some international unit
wholly separated from the league is
being generally asked by members of
the Near East conference delegations
which have no representatives among
' the military and naval experts who
, are now discussing the straits prob
lem Informally with the Turks.
Inasmuch as Russia, Turkey and
America ' are not members of the
League of Nations there would doubt
less be strong objection to any plan to
make control of the straits a league
anair.
Lord Curzon has only once alluded
to a plan for the administration of the
waterway and then only in the most
indefinite' way, saying that it had not
been decided whether regulation of the
straits 'would be placed under the
league or some other organization.
Reds Denounce Leaaue.
Ismet Pasha and his Turkish asso
ciates are a little more friendly to the
league Idea than are Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin and the other BOlshevik
leaders, who denounce it at every op
portunity, decliring that the organi
zation of nations is useless, inasmuch
as the United States does not "belong.
Although some of the French dele
gates have been striving hard to get
the conference to declare a Christmas
holiday, the organizations are in such
an uncertain state that Lord Curzon
and many other delegates regard a
long vacation as undesirable. It now
seems unlikely that there will be a
cessation of the discussions for longer
than Christmas day, unless it is pos
sible to sign some sort of a tentative
agreement or protocol before that
time.
CENTER V I LLE YOUTH
DESCRIBES EXCURSION
TO LIVESTOCK SHOW
-
(Special, to The Palladium)
CEXTERY1LLE. Ind.. Dec. 1L
lodgings at the Y. M. C A hotel in
the loop district of Chicago, dinners
and luncheons given by the big pack
ing firms, and visits to points of inter
est in the city, as well as being given
the keys to the big International Live
Stock exhibition, were some of the
pleasant features of the free trip given
Indiana club members as reported by
Robert Ranck, who has just returned
from the trip. Ranck was chosen by
a county committee, as the one most
deserving of the Wayne county club
members of the reward, which is given
for excellence in club work.
A "stunt night" was one of the fea
tures of entertainment for the hun
dreds of club members while they were
in Chicago, said Robert. All club rep
resentatives gathered In the Y. M. C.
A. hotel lobby, where various teams
composed of their own members staged
several features of an evening's enter
tainment. Burlesque live Btock judg
ing was one of the features of the en
tertainment, toy cows being used for
the club members to exercise their
skill upon.
All club groups assembled every
day In the Y. M. C. A. hotel lobby,
and after being divided Into groups,
were taken to various points of inter
est about the city.
"We all went to the show the first
day," said the Wayne county boy,
"were shown over the stock yard3,
and then left to ourselves to look over
the stock show in the afternoon. On
Tuesday we visited the Swift packing
plant were given luncheon there and
ate dinner at the Wilson packing
plant. '
"We visited the Montgomery Ward
and company house on Thursday, and
the United States cold storage ware
house, the biggest in the world. We
had been taken to Marshall Fields,
and Lincolnpark on Wednesday.
"Indiana had the second largest
bunch of club members there, Iowa
being the biggest. We had about 120
and Iowa 130. There were about 90
boys and girls in the Indiana bunch.
Illinois was third largest
Memorize Songs, Yells
"On the way up from Lafayette the
leaders gave us sheets of paper with
the yells and songs, and we learned
them while on the train. Then when
we, were going around Chicago we
sang or yelled whenever we had any
waits. We had a special electric train
which took us down to the stock yards
or other places on the elevated every
morning.
"We all were taken to see the Board
of Trade, and the. Field museum, too;
and on Tuesday evening we went to
the movies at the Chicago theatre.
Another group of us got to attend the
Cort theatre another evening."
Ranck was given the opportunity of
making the trip because of his pig
club work of this year, which won him
the state Chester White pig club
championship award at the Indianapo
lis state fair. Although only 13 years
of age, an eighth grader of the Steph
ens school, south of Centerville, he
was a member of the club and won
honors last year, being one of the four
county champions who were awarded
silver cups.

FIVE REASONS WHY CHURCH IS INDISPENSABLE
TO MAN PRESENTED BY REV. C. M. WOODMAN
Five reasons. why the church Is val-!
uable to the individual in his personal
life were presented and discussed by
the Rev. Charles M. Woodman, pastor
of the West Richmond Friends church,
in the secpnd of his three sermons on
the general subject of "Church Attend
ance, which he delivered to a capac
ity ' audience , at - the church Sunday j
morning. The subject of the sermon
was "The Value of the Church to the
Individual in His Personal Life."
The Epeaker summarized the rea
sons why people do not go to church,
as taken from a number of printed in
terviews with non-church-goers issued
recently, as those which are purely
personal, those which claim that the
church does not minister to the needs
of the individual, and those which as
sert that the ministry does not adapt
the message to the needs of the people.
He stated that the general attitude
of those who do go to church is to
offer a rebuttal of tese reasons, in
stead of attempting to offer the con
structive reasons why the church is
a valuable asset to the individual in
hi3 personal life and his social rela
tions. The speaker devoted his time
in his sermon to presenting the rea
sons why the church is valuable to
the individual in his personal life re
serving the discussion of the social
phases of the subject until next week.
Value of Church.
"The church is of value to the per
sonal life because it stimulates a man
to a higher plane of thought than that

M'CRAY ASKS G. 0. P,
REPRESENTATIVES TO
PRESERVE HARMONY
(By United Press)
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 11. Repub
lican representatives in the state leg
islature were urged by Governor Mc
Cray today to work in harmony in the
January session and preserve their 52
to 48 margin over the Democrats.
Any insurgency, any factional
strife, the governor warned, will throw
control of the session to the Demo
crats and jeopardize Republican party
policies.
The governor was more emphatic in
this respect than he was to state sen
ators who met at his call some time
ago, because the senators had a "safe"
working majority.
To the representatives, as he had
done with the senators, .McCray cau
tioned against abolishment of three
state bodies approved by the G. O. P.
and endorsed by him.
Bodies To Retain.
The tax board, highway commission
and public service commission are an
integral part of the state government
he said and must be retained. There
is already a movement among the law
makers to wipe out the three com
misions. Aside from these matters, McCray
was prepared to ask the representa
tives to appropriate more money for
removal of the reformatory from Jef
fersonville to Pendleton, to levy a tax
on gasoline, to amend the law which
provides the state fair grounds cannot
be bonded for improvement, to enact a
law classifying motor busses as com
mon carriers and placing them .under
state regulation and to eliminate tax
exempt securities.'
HIATT CASE WILL BE
HEARD IN NEXT TERM
By agreement of Prosecutor Paul
Beckett and attorneys for the defense,
the case of Edgar F. Hiatt, deposed
president of the Dickinson Trust com
pany,, charged in an indictment with
embezzlement, growing out of the al
leged substitution of unacceptable se
curities for acceptable ones, in the as
sets of the bank, was continued until
the next term of court
Prosecutor Beckett said the 'case
was continued because the time in the
present term of court is too short to
hear the evidence. The court docket
also, he said, is crowded. That the
case would hot be heard today has been
generally known for some time. The
case will be set early in the January

Says Isadora Duncan
CLEVELAND, Dec 11. Isadora
Duncan, f among Inrterpretatrre dancer
whose acta were barred from Boston
theaters as "risque", blamed "inmate
genius" for her troubles here today.
I m a genius," ' Isadora declared',
an innate genius, born many years
ahead of my time."
Several hundred persons walked out
during Isadora's act at Public Hall
last night and today she defended her
performance as "true art, which the
American people cannot appreciate.
Russian peasants, she declared, un
derstand art better than Americana.
"American audiences are impressed
only by outside appearances. They
Should see deeper than just the sur
face."
The diminutive dancer paused sev
eral times in the interview to throw
her arms around Serge Yessenin, Rus
sian poet, whom she married eight
months ago m Russia.
"I do not care what you Americans
think as long as I have Serge," she
said. "Marriage is a bond for a wo
man and in a perfect society we could
get along without it But we're a long
way from that perfect state."

hear' Georges Clemenceau, France's
wartime premier, take a tack different
from that followed in the other
speeches of, his American tour. The

OF PREMIERS
BREAKDOWN
Adjourned to Avert
Open Rupture
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Dec. 11. The conference
of allied premiers called to arrange
the basis for an allied financial and
reparations conference in Brussels,
has broken down. It was announced
at ,6 o'clock this evening that the pre
miers had taken adjournment nntiL
Jan. 2.. . .
Adjournment was decided upon. In-
order to avert an open rupture be-
tween England and France over th
question of German reparations.
The British cabinet rejected th
measures of force for the Ruhr dis-
trict upon, which Premier Poincare in
sisted. Prime Minister Bonar Law informed!
Premier Poincare that British pubilci
opinion was overwhelmingly opposed
to any military measures against Ger
many.
Demanded Occupation.
Poincare had made a demand for film
occupation of the Ruhr aa a guarantee
for a German moratorium.
The conference probably will resuma
its session in London or Paris. Mean
while it is hoped that some guaran
tees may be found which wiH satisfy
the French and at the same tune maka
military action tmnecessary.
Ic was stated In French cfrcres trtac
the adjournment was merely a maneov
er to prevent an open break among tha
allies, particularly between Frence and
England, and that there was little like
lihood of finding a common basis of
agreement between England ani
France.
It was further pointed out that in
spite of Premier Poincare's desire to
co-operate with the new British gov
ernment, he has been forced largely by
the political situation at home to de
mand the Ruhr as the price of any
concession to Germany.
