SENATE ASKED TO SEEK CRONKHITE OUSTING FACTS CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE. Senator Reed, he explained, because the headquarters of the Eightieth Division Association is located in Pittsburgh, the senator's home town. He explained in his letter that those who prepared the pamphlet dealing with the no desire to conceal their identity, although they did not regard it as material to the inquiry, and continued: "Our purpose allalong has simply been, upon a statement of the case a8 known to to have, if possible, a resolution introduced in the Senate calling upon the military affairs committee to report to the Senate the facts of Gen.

Cronkhite's retirement, and such a resolution we sincerely trust your judgment will permit you to introduce. has never been our idea that this action would be in the nature of an upon the President or the secretary, of war, for whom we have the highest respect and in whom we have the utmost confidence. We do not believe that they have knowingly been party to any wrong to Gen. Cronkhite and we believe that they would be the first to correct any injustice which the facts may show has been done him. Confession Alleged.

"What we do not understand is the failure of the War Department to take any action looking to the determination of the facts in the case of Maj. Cronkhite even after the accused murderer confessed and after a grand jury had brought in an indictment against persons alleged to have murdered an officer of the army while on duty. Does the War Department owe no obligation to the army and to its officers in such a case? "During the investigations of the Department of Justice leading to the indictment Gen. Cronkhite remained in this country upon the express authority of his superiors, co-operating with the department. Yet Gen.

Cronkhite's retirement is in fact based upon the grounds that his services were no longer available to the army. It is our idea that he was performing a very great service to the army as well as to the country at large. "The men who served under Gen. Cronkhite make no charges against any one, but they wish to be quite sure that full justice is done Gen. Cronkhite, and thereby repay to him, to the extent that it is in their power, the great debt which they owe him." ROSENBLUTH WANTS PROBE.

versal Service) -The name of A. Hogart, a plain seaman, was emblazoned tonight among the heroes of men who go to sea. He was responsible for the saving of the crew of the lumber steamer Santa Rita, which went ashore early today. Tying a life line about his waist, he plunged into the sea and swam a mile to the beach through seas that were breaking mountain high. Reaching the beach, he fell exhausted, but a few minutes later revived suffciently to make fast his line and draw in a heavier one from the ship, over which the.

crew came hand over hand in an improvised breeches buoy. Saved From Fire and Sea. Even more spectacular was the rescue of the men comprising the crew of the steamer Nika by the United States coast guard cutter Snohomish. The Nika was being buffeted rudderless by the giant seas when fire broke out forward. The Snohomish and the sea tug Sea Monarch had searched the seas for her.

The flames served as a beacon to guide the Snohomish in her search. When she reached the vessel the Nika was aflame both fore and aft and her crew, huddled against the aft rail, were being scorched on one side by the Are and frozen on the other by the icy blast of the storm. The Snohomish shot a line aft and, despite the mountainous billows which swallowed up the men as they rode the distance between the two vessels, succeeded in saving all via the breeches buoy sent aboard. Three men were injured in the rescue. The wrecking steamer Algerine reached Vancouver with the crew of the wooden steamer Coolcha, wrecked yesterday at Albert head, near the Canadian port.

FARMERS URGED TO GIVE CORN FOR EAST RELIEF In a letter sent to all county farm bureau presidents yesterday, W. H. Settle, head of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations, asks aid in the Near East Relief grain appeal for 100,000 bushels of corn for Armenian orphans. To the farmers of the state Mr. Settle states that President Harding has taken the place at the head' of the movement and with the assistance of the Red Cross and other forces is backing Near East Relief.

"The committee is therefore asking that farmers of the state as their share in the relief contribute corn, or money which will be used to purchase says Mr. Settle. "It has been arranged 80 that every bushel contributed or bought will reach the Armenians without any charges. If the Indiana farmers will respond as they did last year we can furnish more than 100 cars of corn. "If we can save a life by giving a few bushels of corn we have accomplished a great deal.

I know a great many of us feel that we have done our share, but when we have taken into consideration all of the facts 8.9 to the helpless condition of these needy children it will give us a great pleasure to come to their rescue once more." Mr. Settle requests county and township chairmen of the farm bureaus to co-operate with county agricultural agents in pressing the appeal. Prof. G. I.

Christie is chairman of the grain appeal committee. CHARACTER ANALYSES By George Cromwell Blower Until the present supply has been read, no more pictures will be received by The Star for free analyses. Miss F. K. don't know what Miss F.

K. C. has done with her abilities. All I know is that she has ability well marked in independent endeavor of some kind. She ought to be interested in outside affairs that have much to do with people, as she understands human nature and can get people to do things for her.

She has a winning personality and a pleasant approach. Music and social affairs ought to demand much of her attention. Miss F. K. C.

would be successful in buying and selling for herself. Miss M. is a girl of rare earnestness of purpose. She has a very able mind and will be limited only by her opportunity to make good. The company that employs her should endeavor to give her new responsibilities, which, if carried out satisfactorily, will allow her to have the proper increase in salary.

She has executive power and needs only a chance to show it in order to make good. She would make a very valuable private secretary to a man with responsible matters to care for and one that requires faithful service as well as a faithful tongue. E. is a natural born leader of men. It is too bad his early educational training was limited.

His forehead is one of a man of rare judgment. His eyes show earnestness of purpose. His nose and chin show aggressiveness and a will to do and carry through his convictions. He is honest, reliable, dependable and is capable of handling a group of employes and getting out of them results. He ought to be good in production work.

With proper vocational training he will make some of his competitors take his dust. State Briefs LOGANSPORT--The home of Charles Lott in Galveston was burned to the ground.

Pimples, sores and boils usually result from toxins, poisons and impurities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate; then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities, which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skip of these eruptions, says a noted authority, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water each morning before breakfast for one week.

This will help prevent the formation of toxing in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys. thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here you have 8 pleasant, effervescent drink which usually helps make pimples Advertisement.
