CAN'T TAKE OVER RAILROADS Last Congress Failed to Pass Law Giving Power. Negotiations Have Failed; Con ference Is Declared Off. Washington, March 16. Secretaries Lane and Wilson, President Willard of the Baltimore Ohio, and Samuel Gompers have been designated to con fer with railway managers and broth erhood chiefs on the strike situation. This proposition was agreed upon at a meeting of the president's cabinet this afternoon. After the cabinet had been in ses sion fifteen minutes, Secretary Wilson left. saying that Secretary Baker would issue a statement shortly on the railroad situation. Hope was expressed that a strike paralyzing the commerce of the coun- P. C.

Secretary Wil son said that the action decided upon met with his entire approval. The action decided upon was to have Secretary Lane and Secretary Wilson and Daniel Willard and Sam uel (lompers of the advisory commis sion of the Council of National De fense confer at once with representa tives of both sides. This action was expected by the president and his ad visers to avert the strike. Secretary Uaker announced after the cabinet meeting that the council of national defense with the approval of President Wilson had decided upon this step. Arrangements for confer ences with the representatives of both sides will be made at once. Mediators to X. V. at Once. The railroad officials and brother hood representatives will be urged to reach a settlement on the ground of patriotism because of the interna tional situation facing the country. Secretaries Lane and Wilson are members of the council of national defense and Mr. Williard and Mr. Gompers are members of the advisory committee of the council. In effect, they would act as mediators between the two sides. The mediators planned to leave for New York immediately to beKin conferences. The mediators, speaking for Presi dent Wilson will ask the brotherhoods and the railroads to postpone the strike if they cannot avert one on the ground of national emergency. Washington. March 16. Word was received by the national conference committee of railways this afternoon that President Wilson had called the cabinet meeting to get advices on the question of running the railroads on the basis of military necessity. Washington. March 16. Faced bv the gravest domestic situation which has threatened the cnuntry in many months. President Wilson today called his cabinet into session at 2:30 to determine a course of action in the fight between. the railroads and their employes. The president's hands, it is admitted, are tied insofar as being able to adopt any drastic measures to ward off the threatened strike of the brotherhoods. He appeared to have but two courses open a patriotic appeal to both tides in the controversy to make concessions in view of the grave inter national crisis and prevent the im pending tie up of the country's trans portation system or the summoning I REAL MARCH WEATHER Mercury Will Perform Typical Spring Antics lurlng Next 48 Hours.

Engineers on Santa Fe Will Not Obey Union Order. Employes on Other Roads Also Are Insurgent. New York, March 16. The railway managers here today were informed that the engin eers on the Santa Fe system had wired their grand chief they had withdrawn and would refuse to obey the strike order. The con ductors and engineers on the St. Louis Southwestern have withdrawn according to word reaching the managers, and on the Illinois Central the firemen have announced their intention to withdraw. "I don't believe it." said G. H. Hines, vice president of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, when the managers' reports of withdrawals were called to his at tention. "The last reports we had from St. Louis and the roads entering there showed the vote there for a strike was solid." Officials of the Santa Fe in Topeka todav have maintained all along that there would be no strike and they have made statements to the effect that em employes of their road at least a big part of them would not go out This telegram from New York indicates that the wonderful loyalty maintained by Santa Fe men has stood the acid test. "It is no surprise to me altho I knew nothing of it," Assistant to General Manager Goeidner said late this afternoon when informed of the New York dispatch. bdilTbig ships F. S. Lets Contracts for 100 Mil lion Dollar Constructions. Biggest Vessels Afloat Will Be Ready in Three Years. Washington, March 16. The greatest single award of ship con struction contracts ever made by the United States was arranged here as American merchant vessels were pre pared to defy the German submarine war zone. Pressing preparedness to meet any conditions that may grow out of the German crisis. Secretary Daniels awarded conctracts for the building of more than $100,000,000 of great warships, to be rushed to com pletion as fast as American genius and American workmanship can hurry them thru. Four big cruisers and six scout cruisers will be added to the American grand fleet under the con tracts and they will be built under revolution contracts. Declaring that hey were abandoning a prospective profit of fifty per cent on the building of commercial vessels, tho steel builders of the country agreed to accept a profit of 10 per cent on the four great battle cruis ers. The ship builders will be paid ten per cent over and above the cost of building the ships as determined by a board of naval officers. The Scout Cruisers. The scout cruisers will be built for fixed prices, with the probability that bonuses for speedy construction will be forthcoming as soon as President Wilson by official proclamation an nounces that the nation is confronted by an "emergency." Under the con tracts the navy department can require the builders to employ the maximum number of men that can be used in work on the ships, trains. The battle cruisers contracted for will be the largest and the fastest ves sels of this type ever laid down for any navy in the world. They navy department believes that under the arrangements the ships will be com pleted in three years. A fifth battle cruiser, authorized by congress, will be built in the government navy yard at Philadelphia. Two of the big ships will be built at Newport News, one by the New York Ship Building company and one by the Foreriver Ship Build ing company. The scout cruisers were awarded as follows: Two to the William Cramp com pany, two to the Union Iron works at San Francisco and two to the Seat tle Construction company. The award of these contracts closes a controversy which for two years has held up big naval construction because the ship builders declared that appropriations made by congress would not properly compensate them for building the ships. into conference with him of represen tatives from the railroads and broth erhoods in an effort to mediate their differences. Will Announce Course Later. Announcement of the president's course is expected at the conclusion of the cabinet meeting, called for 2:30 o'clock.

While Santa Fe officials do not expect the strike to Veach Kansas they are taking no chances and late this afternoon an embargo on ship ments of live stock and perishable goods was declared. The embargo permits the ship ment today and tomorrow of all live stock and perishable goods which r-ach their destination by 6 o'clock Sunday evening. But beginning to day an embargo is on all perishable goods and livestock ur.able to reach destination on that date or due, en route to transfer on another rail road. Government shipments of perish ables will be accepted at anytime but subject tc delay for which the company will not be held respon sible. A railroad strike may be called In the east Saturday before steps arc taken to avert it. But the strike scheduled to reach Kansas Tuesday j evening will never arrive at its des I tination. And, even should it arrive in Kansas its effect, so far as the Santa Fe is concerned will be neg ligible. Such are opinions expressed today by railway department heads at the Santa Fe office buildings and by men who daily meet and talk with con ductors, engineers and other members of train crews who pass thru Topeka. 1 In no quarter of the road's system in Topeka could any real nervousness j or serious apprehension concerning 1 results of the rail controversy be 1 noted. Department heads and men in touch with the train crews take the same view of the situation. The American public Is standing about as much dis comfort and highnrlces as can be im posed upon it. In short, they don't believe a row between a small per centage of the population that will make the country suffer will be coun tenanced more than forty-eight hours. By that time the howl of a long (suffering public will reach such pro- portions that the pairing interests j must take heed and patch up matters t satisfactorily awaiting some method i of adjustment of differences, other i than making the whole country suffer. Never, it is declared, has a less op portune time been selected for a strike of the proportions of the threatened rail strike. Few on Santa Fe to Strike. William Butler has been station master at the Santa Fe station for thirty years. He knows every member of a train crew by his first name, he hears the real thoughts of the train crews, on such subjects, expressed every day. And here's what Butler says: "If a strike Is called it will hardly affect the Santa Fe. Few of the men on this road will strike. The general public in Kansas will suffer much more from a strike at this time than it would had a strike been called in tho cummer. The men have had time to think it over and a majority of them are not in favor of it. The same opinion was expressed today by E. A. Goeidner, assistant to F. C. Fox, general manager. Even should the strike reach the Santa Fe linos m. laree percentage of the brotherhoods affected will not quit their jobs, according to a statement made by Mr. Goeidner. "I cannot say at this time just what percentage will continue on the runs,-' he said. "A large percentage will re main with us, I am certain." And down at the shops in still an other department of the Santa Fe the same opinion seems to prevail. "There isn't going to be any strike," said M. J. Erury, superintendent of the Santa Fe shops. "Do you ti.lnk the people, .or government in this country, would stand twenty-four hours for the suffering and inconven ience such a step as a country-wide strike would cause?" J. R. Koontz. general freight agent, returned from Chicago, where execu tive heads of the railroads and broth erhoods are assembled. He refused to discuss, in any manner, the strike situation. "I wasn't even there for the pur pose of consulting anyone regarding the strike situation," said Mr. Koontz. "I was in Chicago on an entirely dif ferent errand." Efforts failed to obtain a state ment from Mr. Goeidner as to the per centage of the 10,000 employes af fected by the brotherhood strike who would remain with the railroads. "That would be impossible to as- ..rtatn until thA ftav rf thu sti-lln. lfnid Mr. Goeidner. "Of rnnrse. our division heads have canvassed the sit uation, but sucn a canvass is about as effectual as a politician's canvass be- f fore election However, I will say that the Santa Fe's friendship with the brotherhoods isn't one whit less to day than it was at the time of the other proposed strike." Schedule of Trains. When the strike was called last September, the Santa Fe announced a plan of running one passenger train and one freight train each way daily over every division, improving the ssrvice from day to day as rapidly as possible. Enginemen and trainmen In sufficient number to man the trains were signed up, and ready for the (Continued on Page Six.) CHIEF FIGURES IN NATION-WIDE RAILROAD STRIKE I S? i X'f" Wearing hats at left.

GUARD SANTA FE Will Police Property With Em ployes, Declares Ripley. President Believes 3Iany Will Prove Loyal to Company. Los Angeles, Cal., March 16. "We will police our property with guards selected from our employes in other departments," said E. P. Ripley, presi dent of the Santa Fe tonight. "We have many old and loyal employes in shops and yards and offices who are not at all in sympathy with the de mands of the trainmen. "I believe that many of the con ductors and engineers and firemen will not go out on strike. The brother hood of railroad trainmen is made up largely of brakemen and they will all quit work. "The Santa Fe will be able to keep passenger trains and mail moving thru from the start. Freight trains will doubtless be' tied up and freight corsested at first. Normal Again After 30 Days. "If we are given the protection we are entitled to we will keep our trains running and in thirty days will have transportation on a normal basis on the Santa Fe. All we ask is that the authorities keep people off our prop erty." President Ripley said the railroads had prepared lists of men available for train service and men from these lines will be called in to take the places of the strikers. He said he did not anticipate any violence at the beginning of the strike. "If we should come to war with Germany," continued Mr. Ripley, "I believe there would be no trouble at all in moving all trains for troops and supplies, if other business was abandoned." President Ripley said he would not go to Chicago to take personal charge of the strike- but would remain at his winter home in Santa Barbara. NO EFFECT ON FUND Attorney General Rules on Distribu tion Firemen Cash. Passage by the legislature of House Bill No. 743 does not affect the dis tribution of the firemen's relief fund, according to a ruling today by S. M. Brewster, attorney general. The at torney general holds that the law af fecting the collection of fees does not aftect the fund distributed to volunteer fire departments of the state. Following the passage of the house bill the state insurance department became panicky. There was a fear that the law providing that fees collected by the state should be turned into the general revenue fund, would wipe out the relief fund. The attorney gen eral, however, has held there is no occasion for alarm, the relief fund for firemen being protected by statutory provisions not disturbed by the recent enactment. TIES UP NEW SHIPS Big Strike Would Halt Navy's Exten sive Defense Program. Washington, March 16. That this government's greatest naval construc tion program, the first section of which was announced yesterday, will bo held up and perhaps stayed inde finitely in event of a nation-wide rail road strike, was the unofficial state ment made by navy experts today. Almost all of the yards which were awarded contracts in the $112,000,000 building program of attle and scout cruisers, are building on "day to day" receipts of material. W. S.

READY TOCONFER Both Sides Show Willingness to Reopen Conference. Eyes of Unions and Operators Turn Towards Wilson. New York, March IS. Both sides in the threatened railroad strike con troversy expressed today a willingness to hold .further joint conferences, altho the situation this morning was devoid of any suggestion that a com promise would be reached which would avert a nation-wide transporta tion tieup. Indications were unofficially that both the railroad managers and the brotherhood chiefs were marking time pending any possible action by Presi dent Wilson and with each group pre pared to respond to overtures from the other side. Greatest Strike in History. President Wilson today stands as the only buffer between the people of the United States and the impact of the greatest strike the nation ever has known. Representatives of the "big four" railway brotherhoods have declared that unless the railways consent to their eight-hour day demands by 7 o'clock tomorrow evening the pro gressive strike designed to tie up the country's roads will be set in motion. Hope exists here that President Wil son will act today. Brotherhood chiefs and the managers committee remained in New York, each side hopeful that he would call some of them to the capital. Famine Threatens New York City. The nation already had begun to feel effects of the order early today. Drastic embargoes were being placed on freight shipments. Food specu lators were reported active. Today ticket offices were besieged by persons seeking to return home before the tieup is put into effect. The effect of the strike on the city's food supply was a matter of grave speculation. In some quarters St was declared that five days at the most would see the city in near famine con ditions. Blow Santa Fe Safe. Enid, Okla., March 16. Safe blow ers used two charges of explosives to open the big safe in the Santa Fe station here early today. Cash and checks amount to $350 were secured. Altho noise of explosions was heard in the Frisco station and a restaurant across the street, nothing was suspect ed until the day force came on duty. W. S.

Between 600 and 700 division chairman of the four railway brotherhoods involved in the railroad strike which has been set for 6 p. m. (central time) Saturday, as sembled here today to receive instruc tions and to discuss plans for carrying out the strike order. Executives and operating officials of western railroads also met to per fect plans to combat the walkout. After a meeting of executives of western and southern railroad lines which lasted until late into the night, an optimistic note was sounded when W. G. Bierd, president of the Chicago Alon, who acted as chairman of the meeting, issued the following statement: May Resort to Courts. "I still feel confident that there will be no strike. I think there will be an intervening power. It may be that President Wilson will use either his office or his persuasive power and thru an appeal bring both sides to gether. It may come thru the power of the courts." While no freight embargo has been declared by the roads a general order has been sent to all agents of all lines west of a line from Chicago to New Orleans instructing them to receive shipments only with bills of lading attached in which the shippers agree that the roads are proof against any loss thru delay if a strike occurs. Ample supply of most lines of staple foodstuffs is on hand in this city, according to statements by several large dealers. Steps were taken today by the city health authorities and milk dealers to guard the milk supply, tho railroad officials expressed the belief that milk trains would be run with very little delay. Motor trucks may be bsed by the large distributors if all trains are stopped. CAN USE ARMED FORCE President Empowered to Prevent Stopping of Mail Trains. Wasington, March 16.

It was then, says Mr. Huyeke's pe tition, that Mrs. Huycke threatened to spoil his daughter's pretty face and it was then the big row started.

He got be tween his wife and daughter and push ed the fiirl towards the- door. They went out together. His wife, he says, followed them to the door with the ferocious nail file and shouted "curses after them."

THE TOPEA DAILY STATE JOUR NHL- FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1917 NOBILITY JOINS POPULACE AND CENSURES GOV'T 15 Assemblies of Aristocracy Held in Russia Today. Vigorously Condemn Former Rule That Brought Rerolt. SOLDIERS EXECUTE BARON Seize Former War Minister and Hanging Intercepted. Jail Countess as German Spy Palace Becomes Prison. (etrograd, March 16, via wireless to London. Fifteen assemblies of the Russian nobility met today and adopt ed resolutions declaring their partici pation in the popular revolution. The resolutions vigorously assailed those officials of the old government responsible for the crisis which re sulted in the overthrow of the czar. The populace and the fully sympa- thetic troops of the city brooked no opposition to their control. Baron Stokelberg fired on a group of soldiers from his window. His house was promptly stormed. The baron was dragged out. He was car ried to the side of the quay and sum marily executed. Imperial Minister to Prison. Count Fredericks, the aged minister of the imperial household and aide ae camp to the emperor, was discov ered in hiding. His life was spared, but he was sent to prison to join other notables of the old regime. Mean while his house had been completely wrecked. Countess Klein Michael, long sus pected as a German spy, was discov ered in hiding at the Chinese legation. Soldiers promptly took her into cus tody. So more dramatic incident occurred in the last few days of rioting than that of the arrest of the former min ister of war. General Sukhomlinoff. A (roup of soldiers and of hastily armed people seized him. The soldiers demanded his instant execution, recall ing vivid stories of the former minis ter's duplicity and treasonable deal ings with Germany. Saves General's Life. Deputy Kerensky of Saratoff, one of the duma leaders in the revolt, and minister of justice in the provisional government, intervened. He appealed to the mob to spare the minister s life, declaring justice would be meted out to him He dsclared Sukhomlinoff desired nothing better than immediate execution. The crowd wavered and Kerenskv won the day. But then the soldiery demanded their former chiefs degradation. Suk homlinoff himself tore his epaulets from his shoulders and handed them to soldiers of the group which guarded him He bowed brokenly and sub mitted himself to their mercies. Tot tering in his disgrace, and over whelmed with despair, he was taken away with difficulty, hardly being able to walk. He was imprisoned in Taurks palace, where other notables were held. The dispatch says that when the soldiers guarding the duma learned of the arrival there, under arrest, of General Soukhomllnoff, former min ister of war, they loudly demanded that he be surrendered to them. The deputies had great difficulty in calm ing the troops who insisted that at least the general's epaulettes be torn off. The former minister submitted quietly to this degradation. Formally Charged With Treason. General Soukhomllnoff was min ister of war from March. 1909 until June, 1915. when he resigned. Short ly after his resignation sensational charges were brought against him of graft, treason and of being in the pay of the Germans. He was accused of being responsible for the munition shortage which was blamed for the enforced retirement of the Grand Duke Nicholas from Galicia and Po land in the first year of the war. In March. 1916 the emperor removed General Soukhomllnoff from the coun cil of the empire and after an investi gation by a special committee into the charges against him he was impris oned in the Fortress of St. Peter and Paul and formally accused of criminal negligence and high trison. CZAR FLEES (Continued from PageOne) The relinquishment of the throne by TCicholas II automatically deprives him of his rank as commander-in-chief of the Russian armies. The heir to the throne is an infant and Grand Duke Michael named as regent, while a soldier of repute is not of commanding military exper ience. Thus the nation, the Petro grad dispatches indicate, is turning lutionary movement in which the lead was taken by the duma, seems no doubt. While there have been few advices received as to the attitude of the army at the front, such news as has been rsceived indicates that the militia with the exception of reac tionaries among the officers, together with all the popular forces of the empire, is backing the new govern ment. The civil forces of the nation are co-operating with the government most heartily in restoring the normal life of the empire. General Amnesty for Prisoners. The duma, which is the chief factor in shaping the course of the new re gime and the Zemestovo council are reported cooperating successfully in straightening out the tangles which have resulted from the momentous change in government control. The food problem is being attacked and the people themselves seem to be exercising their own authority to re press any elements of the population that might be inclined to indulge in excesses. A measure of general political am nesty is reported in course of prepa ration by the new Russian minister of justice. Grand Duke Nicholas is said to have indorsed this move as one necessary to save the empire and bring the war to a successful con clusion. Army Presents Problem. London, March 16. The Grand Duke Nicholas is reported in a Reu ters dispatch from Petrograd to have reached the Russian capital. The dispatch says that he probably will take command f the troops there. The question of replacing officers who were disarmed by their own troops is one which must be decided most promptly. In the meanwhile, the provisional government is doins its utmost to straighten out the num erous tangles. The duma and the Zemstvo council are working hand in hand, altho issuing separate procla to its most tried and trusted military leader. Grand Duke Beaches Capital. Grand Duke Nicholas is reported to have arrived at the capital and the probability is pointed to that he will take command of the troops. Of the complete success of the revo mations.

Further details of the events preceding the revolu- Grand Duke Nicholas Nieholaiwitch, the bier man in Russia today, who advised his brother, the. Czar, to abdicate. tionary coup in Petrograd are given in a Reuter dispatch from the Rus sian capital. The dispatch says the working class had decided on "peaceful" street demonstrations on Saturday. Early Saturday the police warned the citi zens not to leave their houses as it was not safe. In other words, the food demonstrators were to be sup pressed with an iron hand. Undeterred, however, by this warning, the people came out in such numbers that the Nevsky Prospect and other main thorofares were thronged. The crowds were mostly from the mid dle classes, as the roads from the labor district were barred. The peo ple were so good natured and jovial that the authorities believed at first that the day would pass without trou ble. Nevertheless, they sent for re inforcements. Patroi after patrol of Cossacks, mounted and foot soldiers and police lined' the Nevsky Prospect and the court yards of the houses were filled with reserves. The crowd, still good natured, cheered the troops warmly as the soldiers showed themselves ap preciative. There was an unprece dented feeling of comaraderie between the populace and the troops. Cos sacks doffed their hats repeatedly to tne cneerers ana some groups of sol diers cheered back at the crowds. It was a sign of the times that the au thorities, however, failed to read.

During this disastrous campaign the Russians hort of guns and ammuni tion, preserved an unbroken front and the grand duke conducted the retreat in a manner that won the highest praise from military men. Despite this, the grand duke was deposed by Emperor Nicholas in Sep tember, 1915, the emperor himself, taking n r 1 m m a ml v,& 't .no ivunoutii armies and sending the former chief commanaer to tne Caucasus. In this comparatively inconspicuous position little was heard of the grand duke. The results of his military geniua however, soon began to make them selves apparent in the results achieved by the Russian Caucasus armies The brilliant campaign which he conduct ed in Turkish Armenia speedily led to the fall of Erzerum, the Turkish stronghold in the eastern part of the province, and later of Trebizond, on the Black sea coast, and Erzingan farther west in the interior. Leading Victorious Army. For virtually a year nothing has been heard of the grand duke. It has been assumed, however, that he was still in command in the Caucasus. Already this year the activities and successes of the Russian armies in the Persian branch of the Caucasus oper ations have given indications that some skilful guiding hand, presump tively that of Nicholas was responsible for the campaign apparently designed to cut off the Turkish forces driven from Bagdad by the British and now in full retreat up the Tigris towards Mosul. Grand Duke Nicholas, who was born in 1856, is the second cousin of Nich olas II. His part in the Russo-Japanese war was an active and distin guished one. In 1906, he became president tf the council of national defense. Twice :n that year unsuc cessful attempts were made on his life. To Cure m Cold in One Day. Take LAXATIVE BUOMO QUININE Tab lets.

Two Ministers, Lax in Duty, Blamed for Lost Crown. ORDER QUICKLY FROM CHAOS People Stood Hours In Bread Lines at 20 Below Zero. Commodities So Costly Poor Unable to Procure Food. London, March IS. One of the most remarkable features of the Rus sian revolution, says Reuters Petro grad correspondent, has been the speed with which the people have re sumed normal life. Order is the watchword of the day. The corre spondent continues: "Still more remarkable, looking back over the events of the past few days, is the way in which the same spirit of good order prevailed thru the hours when the revolt was at its height. Unorganized crowds of re volters seemed to take pride in 'doing things regularly.' "For instance, in all sections of the city the crowds commandeered all motor cars on the streets, but in every case took the names of the occupants and promised to report the names and circumstances to the duma committee and facilitate the return of the car. Revolution Almost Bloodless. "In the view of the populace the revolution was practically bloodless, certainly there has been some loss of life, but it is Insignificant in popular estimation as compared with the tre mendous results obtained. For some weeks past everybody in Petrograd realized that a crisis-of some kind wa approaching. The temper, even of the most patient people in world, becomes frayed when they are obliged to stand three or four hours in a temperature 10 or 20 below zero waiting for bread that often was not obtained. Potatoes had risen to eight and nine times their ordinary price and other food com modities were at a cost practically prohibitive to the poor. "The explanation of the voluble minister of agricultural. M. Rittich, was not calculated either to relieve the present hunger or the anxiety for the future. He ascribed the delay in the arrival of flour to a snow storm, as tho snowstorms in Russia in February were an unparalleled phe- nomen. The people in the streets were not the only ones who squirmed under this sort of explanation. The duma leaders as well regarded the situation as inexcusable and President Rad zianko finally felt justified in going to the length of offering his whole hearted assistance in putting into ef fect the special emergency measures for increasing the food supply. Interior 3Iinistcr Courted Disfavor. "Minister of the Interior Proto popoff was absent from Saturday's conference on the food question. M. Protopopof f is a wealthy manufacturer and a courtier with a reputation for debonair duplicity. Residing in the Tsarskoe-Selo Palace, he was reported lately as spending a large part of time indulging in spiritualistic trances. Equally detested by the parliamentar ians and the people he never appeared in the duma since his ministerial ap pointment. "With such an administration of agriculture and interior with the pre mier a nonentity it was not surprising that the food prospects were regarded by the members of the duma with the greatest alarm and even dismay. Even duma leaders were discussing the food situation. and people in the streets were getting more and more voluble in their protests against the whole situation."

YICTORY FOR ANTI-GERMANS Teutonic Intrigue Said to Have Upset Czar's Throne. Russia Gov't Now on Demo cratic Plane With Allies. London, March 16. Russia has stepped from archaic autocracy to ultra-modern democracy in three short days. The cost in blood has been almost insignificant, considering the immensity of the transition. The Joy of the allied nations was unbounded today. Russia's spectacu lar casting off of the Old Man of the Sea. who undeniably had gravely im periled the war's success, was hailed as an epochal event. But the feeling of satisfaction was even deeper when it was considered that Russia here after will be animated by the same ideals as her allies. Russia's alliance heretofore was an incongruity. It was impossible that there should be an effective alliance between the autocracy of Russia on the one hand and the democracy of France, of England and of all the other entente powers on the other. That alliance will hereafter be cement ed by the powerful strength of com plete democracy of all peoples con cerned. Overcame 3 Centuries in 3 Days. One feature of the revolt indicating the widespread nature of the move ment and the complete popular dis satisfaction of the Russian people with the old regime was the comparative smoothness and the minimum loss of life when the nation made a leap over three centuries of despotism to popular control in three days. The latest information obtainable here to day from various Russian sources was that the duma, the army, the navy and the people were united against that element of Russia which even if it were not thoroly pro-German, was at least inefficient and corrupt. The revolution had long been ex pected here. The announcement of its actual culmination caused no sur prise, especially in view of the fact that communication had been sus pended between Petrograd and Lon don since Monday. There was only astonishment that the revolters had succeeded so quickly. More Active War Against Germany. Entente heads were particularly pleased at evidences of enthusiastic support of the new government from the people of Moscow and other large centers no less than from the country districts. Every confidence was expressed in British official circles that the control ay the people means more active and more efficient prosecution of the war against Germany than had ever been possible under the old regime. It was believed that the new order may per haps be the very step needed to turn the scale of victory to the allies. REAL MARCH WEATHER (Continued fromPage One.) weather ordered for Topeka for the next forty-eight hours. The temper ature this morning was 53 at 6 o'clock and took a tumble of 22 degrees be fore 9. The mercury will climb from the 31 mark to 40 degrees before the day is over. Then tonight a fall is scheduled. Tomorrow the mercury will not register above 35.. The forecast for the day is gener ally fair today and Saturday, colder tonight with fresh to strong winds from the northwest. Shippers' forecast reads to protect shipments .against 10 degrees in the north and west, and 20 in the south and east. Five inches of snow was recorded in North Platte, Nebraska, which is representative of the western part of Kansas. Concordia received .02 of an inch of precipitation Thursday. No moisture was reported for the south west and Wichita received only .01. The precipitation recorded here in Topeka reached .04 within the last twenty-four hours, making the total .7 of an inch. This, however, means more at this season of the year than at any other, and Mr. Flora thinks, that the drouth in Kansas has been broken and the wheat has really been saved. The lowest temperature on record for this date is 7 in 1900, and the highest 79, in 1908. The temperature so far today has averaged just nor mal. The wind was blowing 25 miles an hour from the southwest at 9:30 this morning and will diminish all thru the day. DAILY WEATHRK REPORT. Furnished by the weather bureau offlre. Topeka.

While there has been no definite talk of in tervention, it is positively known such a step ia within the bounds of possi bility. German plotting and sinister Ger man influence -n the island republic are not broken. Capture of Jose Miguel Gomez, insurgent leader, her alded at first as smashing the Ger man conceived insurrection, has failed to quell-the trouble. Official reports to Washington from this government's diplomatic consular and naval officials in Cuba have con vinced Washington officials that chances of a return to peace there still are remote. Guerilla warfare continues. German plotters, it has been report ed here, have a double purpose. One is to give the United States all the trouble possible to draw this gov ernment's attention away as far as possible from Europe; the other is use of Cuba as the most strategic point in the event of hostilities between the United States and Germany.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, MARCF 16, 1917 PLANT CORN AND KAFIR They Are the Best Substitutes for Wheat That's Been Killed. Manhattan, Kan., March 15. Mr. Farmer ha your wheat blown out or winter killed? If so. plant corn or kanr in Its place. Kafir ia prefer able for western Kansas, while in the eastern section of the state corn is recommended by G. E. Thompson, specialist in crops in the division of extension, Kansas State Agricultural college. "Kanr and milo are now selling for more than corn, and as they stand dry weather and are practically certain to make as man or more bushels to the acre than corn in central or west ern Kansas, they should be given a good shar of the wheat ground where wheat has been killed.'' said Mr. Thompson. "Find out the best1 variety for your particular neighbor hood. Get the seed early, test it to make sure that it is good, plant it and gi e it good care, and it will not disappoint you." t7TKIXG A KANSAS TOWN. Solvate I ewerted Mining Village Strike 33 Years Asa Killed It. Leavenworth. Kan.. March IS. The "swan song" of the little mining town of Brighton, near here, is being sung.

Nearly everything on the old site, apparently, is to be sacri ficed, because of the war time prices for junk and salvage. Made Gtxid Strike Threat. It is said that about $200,000 was invested in mines and buildings at Brighton during the early "8 0 s and the town de eloped rapidly. But with in a short time, differences arose be- tween the miners and rheir empli'ver. The millionaire owner of the mines sent back the message that "if they struck, the mine would be closed for ever." Doubting him. they walked out. But the owner made good the mines have never re-opened. Since then, the town had gone down steadily until, recently, only abandoned homes and buildings are said to have marked its former location. 60O H. S. TEACHERS MEET.

The farmers of the cities of Kan Ssas who assembled in Topeka in an Sswer to the call of the governor J doubtless are actuated by the best of i motives. That high prices are In large measure due to. limited produc tion no one will deny. In Kansas I one of the main causes of crop short- age Is lack of rain. Now, if these gentlemen can devise some method iof increasing the precipitation they J will have taken a long step toward t solving the food problem. Give the j Sunflower state the necessary water i and she will do the rest. Other states possibly are influenced by similar or J other climatic conditions. The coun try's wheat crop, which in 1915 ex- ceeded 1,000,000,000 bushels, was re Sduced In 1916 to'about 600,000.000 bushels, and the price advanced from t 93 cents per bushel to nearly S2 per bushel the highest price In the history of American agriculture.' This Increase In price cannot be attributed wholly to speculators or lack of effort on the J part of the producers. In an effort to reduce the high cost i of living by eliminating the mlddle Jmen and bringing producer and con- lumer together Los Angeles estab lished a municipal market. It failed. I Neither the farmer nor the housewife, I says the Times, proved to be anxious t to patronize it. As a matter of ?fact, the present-day farmer counts J his time of too much value to put in half a day selling a. load of truck in flve-and-ten-cent bunches. There is, without doubt, too much discrepancy between the price the producer gets I for hits foodstuffs and that which the 1 consumer pays for them. Tet direct distribution has so far failed to prove I practicable. 1 1 -e The threat of the railway'brother- hoods to strike, at this time, looks ilike an effort to. bulldoze the United States supreme court. I The United States is now consuming J nearly two-thirds of the world's India grubber. A compilation by the National ICity bank of New York of the world's j rubber production and the share con sumed by the United States shows that 6 the exports of rubber from the var Jious producing areas of the world in J191S were approximately 443,000,000 pounds, while the United States In fthat year imported 270,000,000 pounds.

In the columns of the Weekly On tario, of Belleville, Ontario, appeared recently an Interesting Item relative jto a shipment of fish from that sec tion that is an illuminating commen tary on present high prices. A catch of whitefish was made at 33ath, some 40 miles from Belleville, yrom Bath the fish were shipped to Kingston; from there they were Bent fecross the lake in bond to Cape Vln bent. where they were frozen In the jpublic refrigerators. They were then returned to Kingston, and from there hipped to a dealer In Toronto. From Toronto they returned to Belleville to jfill an order from a local merchant. Jn the Interval this one shipment had traveled 400 miles to arrive at a final Mestlnatlon Just 40 miles from 'the Originating point. It is noted that the fish that brought She fisherman 7 cents a pound cost Jhe consumer 17 to 18 cents. There Ve have one of the causes of high prices wasteful system of distribu tion. Many similar cases might be found In the United States. Take for instance the shipment of cattle from the western states to Chicago to be Slaughtered and returned to the terrl ty of origin In the form of meat. RUSSIA REDEEMED. If the dispatches can be relied upon one of the most momentous events in the history of theworld has taken place in Russia. The most autocratic government on the globe has changed to a democracy thru practically a bloodless revolution. It has been predicted that the end of the war would see Important changes in the governments of some of the belligerents, possibly including the Empire of the Muscovite, but nothing like what has been set forth in messages from that country could have been anticipated. A Cromwell must have arisen at Petrograd. There have been rumors of internal disturbances for some time. Then came the news that the Duma had been prorogued. But it appears that the Duma refused to be dismissed. On the contrary it appointed a com mittee to administer the affairs ofj the nation. It did not stop there. It caused all the members of the ministerial cabinet to be arrested and placed In jail. Its position is reported to bo rendered secure by the support of the army." What chance can the old rulers have against the people and the army? The Indications are that democratic gov ernment in Russia has come to stay. While all this has been going on the army in Asia has been chasing rthe Turks out of Persia and the Euro pean forces have been holding in check the legions of the Teutonic al lies. If the war has resulted in the re birth of this great country the world will not be without compensation for its great loss of life and treasure. THE FALXi OF BAGDAD. The capture at Bagdad Is the first really Important victory achieved by the British since the outbreak of the war. Our cousins are slow but they arrive in the course of time. The chief importance of the ac complishment lies In the fact that it puts an end to. Germany's dream -rf-Asiatlc Empire. It also marks the beginning of the end for Turkey. There will be no "Berlin to Bagdad" rail way. Neither will there be a Petro grad to Bagdad line of communication. John Bull is a valuable ally,: but he always looks out for the main chance. He beat the Bear in the race. Con stantinople can now. be awarded to Russia with much better grace. Most of us have obtained our knowl edge of Bagdad from the "Arabian Nights," and pf Jerusalem from the Scriptures; so it is hard to realize that great modern armies are in one and marching on the other of those an cient cities. Bagdad still contains the tomb of Zobelde, the most beloved wife of Harouo-al-Raschld, but the Palace of the Caliphs has disappeared. The city was found by Almanzor. A. D., 763. The Caliph Haroun-al-Raschld enlarged it, adorned it, and converted it into a metropolis of learning and art. It .continued as such until 1258, when it was captured by the Mongols, and Mostasem, the last of the caliphs, was put to death. Bagdad then suffered from a long period of disorder and war. It fel! under control of a Persian dynasty in 1516. For many years Persians and Turks contested for possession of the city, and In that time Bagdad under went sieges and massacres. If the city Is destined to become a perma nent possession of the British, it will probably change from a mean but pic turesque Oriental city into a flourish ing commercial center. Which, of course, would please everybody except the Turks and a few sentimentalists who like to think of the city as It was when the greatest of the caliphs roomed Incognito about its streets. THE LAST STRAW. If any hope Fingered in the minds of American officials charged with the preservation of our rights on "the seas, that Germany would be deterred from sinking American ships by the president's proclamation of "armed neutrality" It has been banished by the attack: 'n the Algonquin. Apparently she has only been await ing an opportunity. In the meantime preparations for arming merchantmen are under way. Final orders to the naval gunners who will work the guns on armed merchant ships defying the German submarine zone have been framed at a conference between Secretary of State Lansing and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. The orders will be trans mitted directly to the crews by the secretary of the navy. They provide In detail for compliance with the attitude of the United States In the whole long international controversy over the use of submarines against merchant craft. The merchant ships gunners will fire at sight on any submarine approach ing In a threatening manner, but will respect the right of the submarine to "visit and search for contraband. If any effort be made to exercise that right. Further than this statement the orders. will be kept absolutely secret.. The flna! forms of the orders to gunners were framed after the state department had communicated to every representative of a foreign gov ernment in Washington the intention of the United States to arm its mer chant vessels. These two formal ac tions cleared away the last formality necessary before American commerce resumes its place upon the seas. The navy department and the war depart ment have settled down to the vig orous persecution of all steps toward placing the nation on a war basis to meet whatever the submarine con troversy may next bring forth. The armed ships starting for the war zone will be absolutely under the con trol of the federal government. Their courses, their departure and the ar rivals will be governed by orders from Washington. The notification to the governments of the world of America's Intention to protect her sea commerce was specific. It was addressed to each of the gov ernments represented here and said: "In view of the announcement of the imperial German government of January 31, 1917. that all ships, those ot neutrals included, met within cer tain zones of the' high seas, would be sunk without any precautions being taken for the, safety of the persons on board and without the exercise of visit and search, the government of the United States has determined to place upon all American merchant vessels, sailing thru the barred areas, an armed guard for the protection of the vessels and the lives of the persons on board." x One of the favorite pastimes of the railway brotherhoods is i umping out and crying "boo" at the railroad man agers and the public.

"Yes, and I heard rather a neat compliment passed on it by a young woman." "What did she say?" "She wanted to know If I had writ ten it." A young planter In Mississippi had an old servant called Uncle Mose, who had cared for him as a child and whose devotion had never waned. The young man became engaged to a beauty of the -neighborhood who was credited with the possession of a vio lent temper. Noticing that Uncle Mose never mentioned his approaching marriage, the planter said one day. "Mose, you know I am going to marry Miss Currier?" "Yassuh, I knows it." "I haven't heard you say anything about it," persisted the planter. "No, suh," said Mose. '"Tain't fo' ma to say nuthln' about it. I's got nuthin' to say." "But you must have some opinoin about so important a step on my part." "Well, suh," said the old negro, with some hesitation, "yo' knows one thing the. most pizenest snakes has got the most prettiest skins." We should like to print this story in letters of gold, says the London Tit Bits. It Is of a colonel on the British front who wanted twenty men to face almost certain death. He called the whole company to gether and made the situation clear to them. Then he asked for twenty volunteers to advance one pace. He loved his men, and It was almost mor? than he could bear. He closed his eyes to keep back his tears, and when he opened them the men stood in ex actly the same formation. He was pained. "Is there not one volunteer?" he asked. A sergeant stepped forward at salute. "Every one has advanced one pace, sir," he said. j GLOIBE SEiEOTS .j i INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCEITOL LI BT W. T. For March 18, Is, "Jesus Saves From Sin." John 8:12, 31-37, 66-58. A Temperance Lesson. Vitalizing the Virtues. Enlightened selfishness may do much for the race. China, as a pro duct of Confucianism, is proof of this. But it will not do enough; as China also has demonstrated. Now that it has become the fashion to put the temperance reform upon an eco nomic basis, let us be clear-thinking enough to admit that this is not a sutficient foundation 'for so great a cause. This present Sunday school lesson opportunely links the quarterly temperance lesson with certain tre mendous teachings of Jesus. How to vitalize the virtues, so that they will be warm, living, positive things, attractive to all mankind. Is one of the problems of religion. A cold morality repels. Even the arti ficial glow and cheer of alcohol has been more winsome in the eyes of the thoughtless than the stern, gray, re pressive and apparently joyless life of some abstainers. This question is not an academic one. It Is of first Im portance in many communities which have cast out the saloon, and have not yet found a substitute. Negations get the world nowhere. No people are to be saved, spiritually, socially, eco nomically, by the things they do with out. The devils like nothing better than an empty room. So we turn to' the great affirma tions the majestic, incomparable ut terances of Jesus, in this passage which has been assigned to us. to dis cover what their bearing is upon tem perance. First of them Is the sweep ing declaration of the Messiah. "I am the Light of the world." Is It In fol lowing that Light that society has come to the decision that the traffic In strong drink should be extermin ated? The liquor habit belongs to the darknes of the world. It comes from ignorance and an inadequate ap preciation of values. No thoroly wise man would tolerate the traffic in al cohol, if he could stop it. We are abolishing it because we' have ad vanced farther into the light of spirit ual values. The World's Eiiliglitcncr. As it has followed the Light, what strides society has made! Moral re form has ever followed in the train of Him whose sway brings perfect light and perfect Justice to pass. Jesus never said a word about slavery, yet slavery has gone irom all the civilized world, and at His behest. Jesus never men tioned the drink habit, yet the growing wave of prohibition around the world is essentially a Christian movement. He knew nothing about tenements; nevertheless, the irresistible impulse for better housing' of the poor, which is being written upon the statute books of civilization, Is wholly in the spirit of Christian love. All our modern moral reforms, against the social evil, against the drug habit, against un-der-payment of labor and the denial of the right of the child to a play-time and .a school-time, are direct conse quences of the light that Jesus has shed upon the hearts of mankind. The new light that is streaming Into our prisons, tne illumination of the prob lems of the indigent and the defect ive. Is but the reflection of the in creasing radiance of the light of the world". T attempt to- separate reform from religion is therelore to divorce cause and effect. There is serious objec tion to' the fact that so much of what is good and constructive in sociology lacks the active support of the churches. In many places the tem perance cause, for instance, is no longer a child of the church, but is the tool of politicians. Every Christian should be a militant in every move ment that seeks to make this world liker to the place that Christ means it to be. It used to be the custom to measure a man's religion by mere attendance upon religious services; now we demand that he shall be doing religious service. He may more profit ably, at times, attend a political meet ing than a prayer service. Let us face candidly the fact that the church holds aloof from social service only at her peril: for it is her function to vitalize all good works. Big words are sometimes used in small fashion. Later, we grow up to them. Thus, we have freely talked about "the world," with no such con ception of what the term involves as is now ours since we have matricu lated in the great school of the war. As we have all of us learned geogra phy, and other lessons. In the war dispatches, and have grown into some measure of appreciation of the vast ness of this great human family of which we are members, some of us have been taking thought of the hith erto unnoticed fact that Jesus had so much to say about "the world." He thought in world terms. Nothing that He said or did was in the language of provincialism. Not understood at the time, or for many centuries after ward, it is clear that Jesus used the word "world" with the prescience of omniscience. Nothing good exists anywhere that is not ultimately to come to pass everywhere. Because temperance principles were enacted Into radical laws in the United States, Russia pro hibited vodka, and every other one of the warring nations took somewhat similar measures. We have come to the day of worldism. The light of the world has arisen for the entire race. Missions and reform are now seen to be one. There is no darkness of any sort so dense or remote that it will not be driven out by that light which lighteth every man that cometh Into the world. Today a temperance lesson is also a lesson in cosmopoli tanism. The Slaves and the Free. A friend of mine in Japan, a vet eran missionary, was one day con ducting a service in tne back coun try, when a man took him aside mys teriously, and whispered, "Honorable Foreigner, do you not know that it Is against the law to teach Chris tianity, and that one who does so may lose his life?" Whereupon my friend informed the rustic that those old laws had been abolished many years before, and that In all Japan any man was free to speak and write" as he pleased upon any religion. Then the Japanese confessed that he belonged to a family which had been Christian three hundred years before, and that the secret had? been handed down from father to son for all these generations, and that he hart been secretly worshipping the God of the Christians. He had missed the emperor's proclamation, long years before, and knew nothing of the hun dreds of -hidden Christians, like him self, who had. come out into open fel ELLIS lowship, one of the most romantic episodes in missionary history. Now he bad suddenly learned the truth. and the truth had made him free. There is no real emancipation except by the progress of truth. No word of the Master has been oftener or more brilliantly exemplified than this one, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." After the Spanish-American war a Court of Honor was erected in Phila delphia, and those words were In scribed upon the triumphal arch. It was a truth wnich had freed the Cu bans.. It is the truth of Christ which makes a man free from the curse of strong drink. We hear a great deal about "personal liberty" in connection with this liquor question; here is the real personal liberty: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.". No phrase is commoner in connec tion with theJiquor question than the one, "a slave of drink." That is but the putting into a concrete proverb the utterance of our Lord, "Every one that commltteth sin is the slave of sin." The figure is a strong one. Sinners are slaves. They are no long er their own masters; they have fallen into involuntary servitude. The lash of a taskmaster is on their backs. They who have seen the aeonv of a drug fiend deprived of his drug, or of a drunkard seeking drink. have glimpsed the horrors of this slavery. The wise old Scriptures declare that the pleasures of sin are only "for a season. After that come the agonies, and the chains that eat into the spirit. Would that the eternal truth could be branded In letters of fire upon the brain of every young person, that sin. which seems but a toy, is an enslave ment, and that in the days to come it will restrain the liberty of its victims. "Why did not somebody te'l me that it would cost me this, if I committed that sin! is the soal cry of a multi tude of people today, chained outside the gates of happiness by the sins of their youth. The Hope of Freedom. There is a brighter side. Slaves may be freed. This is the message that lies at the heart of the lesson. There is hope for even the worst vic tims of sin, whether that sin be drunkenness, passion, avarice, or what not. This is the uniqueness of the Christian gospel: It otters power for liberty. Not only does it set forth the benefit of freedom, but it also tells men how to be free. Recognizing the profound truth that sin is slavery, it provides a Redeemer. "If the Son therefore shall make you tree, ye shall be free indeed." It means much that the promise of liberty comes from One who has au thority to fulfill His word. Some of the ancient Grecian cults, which de nied the reality of matter, and In sisted that mind is tll, bade a man believe that he was happy when he was unhappy, or that he was well when he was 111, but they had not the power to tulfill their promises. It is of no avail to bid a sinner sin no more, unless he be given the force for the fulfillment of that Injunction. Now "God's, commands are God's enabl Ings.'' What He bids us do He helps ub do. There is supernatural power Imparted- to the weakest life that seeks to obey the will of God. In other wurda, it Is by the Son's might, as well as by the Son's right that we are freed from sin. Right here Christianity wins or loses. It either delivers the race from the old thraldoms, or else it does net, in which case it is the grandest delu sion of the ages. If the Gospel Is not adequate to meet all the needs of this new day, ht Is not equal to any of them. Conversely, if the Gospel can save one sinner from his bondage, and make a new man of him, it can 4o the same for all the sinners on earth. And what Christ has done in the making over of life is proved in countless cases, in all the ages. The latest drunkard saved down in the rescue mission, and the heathen Korean made over into a shining saint, are conclusive evidence that the Son is still able to make all men free. The Truth, and the Facts. A third great principle is laid down by Jesus in this Lesson, and it under lies the practical considerations of the temperance question. This is the eternal pre-existence of the Son with the Father. "Before Abraham was. I Am." What has this got to do with deliverance from drink for -the indi vidual and for society? Everything. In the heart of the ageless Almighty resides the love of Christ. If God forever is all that Jesus showed Him to be. then the Ineffable Deity has no greater business on hand in all His universe than the saving of men and women. The greatest truth is not too large a shelter for the weakest and most harried of spirits, fleeing for refuge. That Jesus is and was with the Fa ther from before the foundation of the worldis a matter of supreme In terest to every one of us, for it as sures us that all the tenderness and patience and forgiveness and loving helpfulness which He showed in Judea and Galilee are still employed for the last man on earth. This statement was drawn from Jesus by the snobbishness of the Jews. They were boasting that they had Abraham for an ancestor. In that they rested. Now It was a fact that they were by blood descended from Abraham. But greater than the mere fact was the supreme truth that all who have the spirit of Abraham are his heirs. There are some descend ants of the Mayflower Pilgrims who have none of the spirit of those great pioneers.- Whereas there- are others, recent immigrants, who are true to the. Mayflower type. The best citi zens of a country are those most loyal to Its laws and genius; and the tru est children of Abraham are those who share the privileges imparted by Christ, who was before Abraham, and I whose spirit was that patriarch's equipment. i is Detter to De a son in truth, than a son in fact. Daring to Stand Alone. Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People's Societies Christian En deavor, etc. for March 18: "The Curse of Cowardice." John 18:15-27. None oT the pains that can come to body or mind Is equal to the blis tering, haunting consciousness that one has failed to play the man. To know one's self a coward is infinitely worse than to know one's self dead. "My only fear is fear," said a much tried man, looking out on life. "I am afraid of being afraid. That some physical weakness may Impair my courage is really, the only ill in life that I dread. For I know that cow-, ardice is the worst of evils." Anything short of duty is coward ice. "Be brave! The coward lives and dies an abject sIstc; The fearful is a tvrant, fool snd knave; Omnlpoteuce Is only with the brave." Shirking, cowardly Christians have never had a part in God's great vic tories. They look on from afar, and talk about what might have been, and point out the mistakes in the method of battle. Only to the daring, cour ageous, and faith-filled Christians Is it granted to win glorious triumphs for God. Fear falls, but faith conquers. There are two kinds of people on earth today. Just two kinds of people, no more, I say, Not the saiut and the siuiier, for 'tis well understood The good are half bad and the bad are half good Not the rich and the poor, for to couut a man's wealth You must know first the state of his con science and health Not the humble and proud, for In life's little span Who puts on vain airs is not counted s man Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter, and each man his tears. No! the two kinds of people on earth that I mean Are the people who lift and the people Where'er you go yon will find tlie world's masses Are always divided in Just these two classes And, oddly enough, you find. too. I ween. There is only one lifter to twenty who lean. In whut class, are you? Are you easlug the load Of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road V Or are you a leaner who lets others bear lour portion of labor and worry and care? Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "Fear not" is one of the re-echoing phrases of the Bible. Long before modern science had analyzed the ef fects of fear upon the body and the brain, the old Scriptures issued com mands against it. The person who fears God has no business to fear any thing else. Faith is a synonym for fearlessness. Christianity and cow ardice are at opposite poles. Bold ness befits believers; it was "when they saw the boldness of Peter and John" that men took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. There is no advertisement of the Gos pel like a courageous Christian who Is also charitable. A "gentleman unafraid" was Jesus, walking steadfastly toward an ap pointed doom of suffering, yet unper turbed in the presence of those whM would slay Him. Thoughtlessly; some men say, "I'd rather be a live dog than a dead lion," meaning that they would rather sur vive as cowards than perish as heroes. But they really do not mean this. Bet ter to be a lion for a moment than' a dog for a decade. "One crowded hour of glorious life, is worth an age with out a name." SPOE OF BY BOY K. MOILTON. Today's Sneer.

Jack's Red Cross Girt. (By Joseph T. Kescel.) He, on the Texas border, called her his "Red Cross Girl;" we. In the big government hospital, "Merry Sun shine." Indeed, she was to us a ray of sunshine. Moving among us with her cheery "good morning," she ar ranged a pillow here and there, while beaming into upturned faces. Nature had' made her light. She was light of complexion, and beneath a spotless cap ot white, in the bright morning sun, her light hair shone like newly beaten gold. She had laughing blue eyes that sparkled like rippling waters. Her lithe, active figure blend ed harmoniously with the dainty nurse's uniform she wore. The big ward- our ward was filled to Its capacity. The sudden call of- the militia to the Rio Grande had exacted Its full Quota of sick men. Stricken by fever, accidentally Injured or tern- oorarilv affected by the heat of the southwest, our hospital "always had I many inmates.- As each pain-racked ngure was Drougni in, merry tsuusiiiji3 could not conceal her anxiety. It might be her Jack, dear old Jack, so noble, good and handsome, who had been one of the first to leave for the border. Wishing to be near him ana also to serve her country, she had fol lowed her sweetheart, the day alter his departure, but many miles still separated them. She would question tne guardsmen. Did they know Jack? she would ask. No, they did not. It was always the same answer, tho some had heard of him. One bright August morning tney carried into the ward a khaki-clad, de lirious figure, who waved an imag inary saber with his unbandaged arm, shouting .wildly, "Up ana at tnem, Jack; up and at them. Good boy. Jack: see them run. They're break ing, they're breaking. We'll chase 'em into the gulf." With eager, trembling hands sne examined the regimental number on the sick man's uniform. It was the same regiment as her Jack's. t Was it possible this tossing, rever-stncKen form knew her sweetheart? Far into the night she sat by the wounded man's side. Lony past her regular duty hour she bestowed upon him little attentions that tended to re lieve pain and make rest more com fortable. Only when bidden by the head nurse to retire did she leave the ward. She requested permission to remain, but was flatly refused, be cause of her already lengthy vigil. In the cool quiet of the early morn g. a few days later. Merry Sunshine's attention was rewarded by a gentle sigh irom the new patient. He was freed of his delirium and his eyes slowly grew clearer. A wan smile parted his lips as she bent over him. Jack s sweetheart, the Red Cross girl," he whispered joyfully. "I know, you from the picture in his watch case;"- With a cry of delight she heard what followed. "Yes, Jack was by my side when we charged across a stretch of cactus covered plain during some drill man euvers, I remember my horse pitch ing forward, my head striking the ground and nothing else until this moment." .The voice gradually weakened. Al most inaudibly he mumbled, "I'm tired now, very tired.

With hurrying footsteps she went into the big storeroom. Her eager nan as searcnea among numerous packages until they came to the num ber she desired. With trembling fin gers she unfolded the well-worn khaki uniform. There it was! Hastily she tore it open. Color rushed to her fresh -young face, her eyes filling with tears, which glistened like dewdrops in the morning sun. A .bell rang the call to duty. The letter must wait. With a long, sweet kiss Bhe placed.it over her heart In the folds of her im maculate uniform. Months passed and the strained situation at the oorder had calmly subsided. A long troop train rolled Into the station of a northern city amid shrieking whistles and the hoarse shouts of the multitude upon the platform. Uniformed men, their heads protruding from the long line of car windows, yelled joyously as they recognized in the immense crowd the face of mother, father, wife, sister, brother, sweetheart or friend. Accompanied by the grinding of brakes and release of air the train came to- a full syp. Vestibules were 'WVWWW.''WVWWWW. WMW M M WWWW "I'll Be, f hme '.Tales BY CLA&A" JIOTSON THK APPLE BABY. Once upon a time there was a big apple orchard with rows and rows of apples trees in It.- When the warm spring came with the rains and sunshine the trees were covered with blossoms so that they looked like big masses of snow, color ed pink by the -setting sun: After a while some hard winds came and played around the trees. That frightened the apple blossoms, for they had to hold on so very tight to keep from falling off. "Dear me," exclaimed one blos some, after an extra hard breeze had shaken the tree from top to root, "I can hardly hold on any longer, whatever shall we do?" "I'm sure I don't know," exclaimed the next blossom. "I don't believe you can do anything but to hold on as tight as you can." So all day and all night the petals held on tightly and the old winds romped and shook the tree with ail their might. When the morning sunshine came, the winds stopped playing and took a nap. As soon as the blossoms were sure the winds were sound asleep they let go their hard hold and held a meeting to decide what to do about it. While they were talking about how to hold on, a tiny new voice piped out from the very heart of a blossom, "I wish you wouldn't all hold on so tight you choke my neck." "Dear me, who are you anyway? exclaimed the petals as they looked around to see who could e talking, "we can't see where you are." "You are looking too far away," replied the tiny voice. "I'm the new baby apple and I'm tucked right down between you." So the petals looked carefully and, sure enough right down between them was a tiny, tiny green apple, not much bigger than a pin head! "You're so little we didn't know you were there at all." said one petal. "Why don't yoix hurry up and grow?" thrown open and the happy guards men began to stream thru, to be clasp ed in the arms of some dear one. At the, edge of the crowd a falr facod woman energetically waved her country's flag with a small, ungloved hand.. Her young cheek was radiant with blushes and her clear, strong voice mingled with .the "hurrahs" of the cheering populace. Shifting her intent gaze continually over each vestibule as man after man descended, the expression In her eyes showed eager expectancy while she scanned each healthy, sun-browned face. Why did he not appear? Could It be possible he had not come? It was his regiment. Had anything hap pened? They were nearly all off now. Her cheek turned white and wistful eyes filled with tears, which resembled pol ished pearls against a background of blue. The lips trembled and the voice lost itself in low, quavering notes. It seemed to her tension-wrought mind that they had all disembarked. From her bosom came a sigh. Her firm chin protruded with determination. Tho lip8 eloBe(j tightly over even, white Th. ria ,r h m.nn was firmlv ciasped in her hand, as with ner nead erect she tried to force her way thru the crown. A tall, well-built militiaman, who noted the look of anxiety on her face, politely lifted his hat and asked if he could be of service. She thanked him and explained. In a quiet, even tone he said, "Passageway, please." 'ine crowd respectfully fell aside and he conducted her to the cars. Merry Sunshine arrived with him at an open vestibule. Just as three fig ures started to descend. A big man In the center, supported by his two com panions, saw her coming. He at tempted to rush forward, but his un certain steps were checked by his comrades, who sang out, "Steady, Jack, steady!" A deep flush of color shot to his cheeks. His eyes, clear and bright, watched the figure that came rapidly toward him and eagerly sprang up the steps. Strength returned suddenly as her arms encircled his neck and she placed upon his lips a long, sweet kiss. "Jack, what is it? Tell me! You are 111? You are Injured?" "It Is nothing, little sweetheart," he said. "I had the fever. Feel a trifle shaky, that's all." His arms quickly went around her, and there, amid that vast throng, we lost our "Merry Sunshine," and Jack, good old Jack, regained his "little Red Cross girl."

Serve with milk and sugar. "I'm trying to," responded the little) 4pple sturdily, "but when the -wind blows and you all hold so tight to me I can't grow at all." "We never thought of that. What shall we do about it?" The petals all let go and sailed on the) wind over the orchard and fields. "I'll tell you a plan," said one ven turesome petal. "I've always wanted to explore the end of the orchard. The next time the wind comes around let's hop cn his back and fly away and see the world." "All right, we will," cried the pet als, and they all made ready. Just then the wind awoke and rush ed up to the tree to shake it. But the petals were ready. They all let go and sailed on the wind like a big cloud over the orchard and fields. And the tiny green apple, left all alone, heaved a big sigh and started growing.

FRFE DELIVERY Phone 1325 What St. Vap-0- Josepli People Say About Rub -"Outside" Treatment They Find It Better Than Internal Med icine For Croup and Cold Troubles. In the South everyone uses Vick's Vap-O-Rub Salve for all forms of cold troubles. But when it was introduced in St. Joseph. Mo., for the first time, last winter, the local druggists natu rally were skeptical. They did not believe that croup could be relieved in fifteen minutes just by rubbing with Vap-O-Rub, or that colds com monly went in one night. So ar rangements were made to present a number of ladies with complimentary jars of Vap-O-Rub on the condition that they give it a thorough trial. Here are the reports from these ladies: Mrs. C. Lv. Haden, 2309 S. 15th St., says "Last winter I had a dreadful bad cold on my lungs, with a tight bad cough. I rubbed Vap-O-Rub on two nights, and the next morning my cough was loose and lungs better. I relieved neuralgia with It in one night. Just by rubbing my jaw and putting a little on the tooth, and ironing it in with a hot iron." Mrs. Sam House, 1206 Prospect Ave., reports "My little daughter had Dip ttaeria last fall, and every little cold Ehe takes settles in her throat. Dur ing one of her bad spells last winter my druggist sent me a jar of Vap-O-Rub. I used it four nights on her throat with such good results that now I don't like to be without it. I have used it on myself and husband for bad colds, and have found it just fine." Mrs. John Paynter, 2422 S. 17th St., writes "My druggist sent me a trial jar of Vick's Vap-O-Rub, which I soon had occasion to try on my 'croupy' baby. Before putting her to sleep for the night I applied Vap-O-Rub over her throat and chest with my fingers. The results proved very satisfactory, and now I would not be without it." Mrs. M. A. Myers, 2943 Sylvanie Ave., says "When our three-year-old boy had a severe cold last winter 1 tried Vap-O-Rub, rubbing it on his chest and letting him inhale it, and he was relieved almost immediately, and got better in a few days. We think your remedy is the best thing for colds we have ever used." Vick's Vap-O-Rub Saive will be found better than internal medicines for all forms of cold troubles from head colds, catarrh and asthmatic troubles down to deep chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis or Incipient pneu monia. You just rub it well over the throat and cnest and cover with a warm flannel cloth and the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled all night long with every breath, carry the medication through the air pas sages to the lungs. In addition, Vap-O-Rub is absorbed through and stimu lates the skiu, aiding the vapors in haled to relieve the congestion. Vick's can be had at all first class drug stores in three sizes, 25c, 50c or $1.00 or we will gladly send a sample free on request. The Vick Chemical Company, Greensboro, N.

Business Men in the East and Travelers Hurrying Home. Early this morning Topeka house wives took an invoice of the pantry capacity and ordered canned good3 and staples in anticipation of a coun try wide railway strike. Grocers all over the city report an impetus in telephone orders and unless the public is assured that the supplies on hand are sufficient a general "run on the stores will be the result. Late in August last summer when it was evident that a strike would catch the country unawares the stores were unable to take care of the unheralded demand. That was at the time of the year when vegetables would soon be out of the question as far as local growth was concerned and when the grocers had not laid in their season's goods. Little Danger of Shortage. If a strike must come this is a good time of the year. Goods have been purchased and delivered for the entire season and the vegetable grow ing season is approaching. There is little need for the hoarding of food supplies even if a strike is called and traffic is tied up in the west as well as the east. Topeka business men and traveling representatives now in the east are hurrying home today. With Saturday set as strike day in the east and with a Tuesday warning in the west, the westbound trains are crowded. Many Topekans in California and Florida for the winter are making every etrort to return to their homes before trains are tied up permanently or temporarily. If the local trains are operated on fair schedules out of Topeka, there is little fear of a business upheaval among Topeka wholesale and manu facturing institutions. FOR UNIFORM STYLES Adoption of Resolutions and Banquet End Shoe Convention. Election of officers, adoption of res olutions and a big banquet at the Chamber of Commerce ended the an nual convention of the Kansas Retail Shoe Dealers convention Thursday evening. Leo Morgan, Wichita, was elected president; Clarence L. Brosius, Wichita, secretary; Adam Krause, Great Bend- treasurer; "Deacon" Orr, Winfield. sergeant-at-arms; H. F. Reed, Parsons; J. G. Mittlebach.viola; E. E. Ellsworth. Hutchinson, and E. W. Miller, Olathe. vice presidents. Hutchinson was chosen as the place for the 1918 convention. Resolutions were adopted urging the appointment of a national and uniform style committee by the national asso ciation, inviting shoe dealers of Ne braska and Oklahoma to the 1918 con vention, recommending standard size cartons for rubbers. The newspapers were given a vote of thanks and the members went on record as favoring the anti-trading stamp bill passed by the recent legislature. BURN POLICE RECORDS Mob Storms Petroffrad Secret Service Office. Search German Spies. London, March 16. Practically the entire archives of the Russian secret police were burned by the revolution ists according to a Times dispatch from Petrograd. When the building in which the notorious third section had its headquarters was captured eager crowds sacked the offices, blast ed open safes, wrecked strong boxes and rushed into the streets, carrying masses of documents which were quickly converted into blazing bon fires. Not all the d ocu ments, however, were destroyed. The new government has obtained possession of lists of spies and informers who are fast being run to earth altho the populace is strongly disposed to wreak summary vengeance on those who incurred their hate dur ing the old regime. The prisoners are safe once they are under the protection of the soldiers and are marched thru the streets to the duma or to the district sections of the provisional government.' The strongest anti-German feeling ani mates the population and all highly placed personages who are suspected of German proclivities or who bear German names or titles are being sys tematically hunted down. ONLY 20 WERE KILLED Report Small Death List in Petrograd Revolution. Stockholm. March 16. Twenty were killed in Monday's fighting in the Petrograd revolution and 120 were wounded, according to information received today from the Russian capi tal by the newspaper Extrabladt. "On Tuesday,- the dispatches as serted, "the mob destroyed several great bakeries, whereupon the govern ment opened additional shops. The railroad lines to Finland were blown up at several points. 'The Russian troops in Finland are confidently expected to support the new government. When Minister Golatzin and the old government or dered them to report to Petrograd a week ago to suppress riots then in their incipiency, these troops flatly refused to respond. GEO. STANSFIELD BACK FRESH FISH j White House Meat Market 423 Kaaaaa Avenue, j Topeka Druggist Says Re Had Big, Quiet Time In Florida. The orange and lemon trees of Florida look like they had gone thru a fire, according to George Stans field, who has just returned from the everglades. Frost has destroyed all the fruit and vegetables In that state, he said. Besides seeing oranges grow on trees like garlic hangs in front of stores, and catching sharks and visiting in Palm Beach, Staitsfield said he had a quiet time. Catching a shark is not exciting. Nevertheless, he enjoys relating how his catch nearly scared his negro guide to death without mentioning his own plight. The shark was not of the man-eating specie, however. While in Florida Mr. Stansfield toured the peninsula from Key West to Jacksonville, visiting Palm Beach and other winter resorts. He met many other Kansans on his trip who were spending the winter there. DAYIS IS APPOINTED He Will Fill Out Brooks Term on Board of Control. Governor Capper after he had stated that there was no need of fill ing the place, has appointed W. E. Davis, former state auditor, as a member of the state board of control to succeed W. E. Brooks of Fort Scott, Democrat, resigned. Davis left the state service two months ago after serving ten years in the state auditor's office six years of the time as head of the department. In explanation of the appointment of Davis to fill the short term now facing the control board. Governor Capper stated that the former auditor would be asked to invoice state insti tutions. An inventory of the state in stitutions was gathered last fall, ac cording to statements made at this time from state departments. Davis will serve as a member of the control board until July 1. when the board is to be absorbed by the state board of managers. In political cir cles there is a belief that Davis will probably succeed to one of the $3,500 places on the board. All of which will mean the elimination of Harry C. Bowman, present chairman of the board of control, who has served since July, 1915 without reappointment. Davis came to Topeka more than ten years ago as assistant state auditor. His home is in Dodge City, where he is interested in the publication of the Dodge City Daily Globe. Following the election of Fred W. Knapp. of Beteit. as state auditor, Davis planned to go to Hutchinson to engage in the banking business. Then W. E. Brooks resigned as chairman of the board of control and Davis was returned to a place on the state pay roll. Offers Coal Land for War. Buffalo, March IS.

BRIEFEST REVOLT IN HISTORY MVill Multiply Xational Force and Patriotism." Old Regime of Conservatires Ousted Bag and Baggage. Petrograd, via London, March 16. The old regime of Conservatives has been supplanted by a government of Liberals. M. Kerenski, the new min ister of justice, is a Socialist. He ac cepted the portfolio on the stipulation that there had to be absolute freedom of speech and of the press, and full political amnesy. The cabinet has been chosen exclusively from present and past members of the duma. It was named by the executive commit tee of the duma, in conjuction with other deputies and representatives of the working men and the soldiers which held an all night session. Prof. Paul Milukoff, the new foreign minister, informed the Associated Press that the new regime was deter mined on the elimination of Emperor Nicholas and the regency of Grand Duk Michael. ''We shall not change these de mands," he said. "We shall have this, or fali. We can accept nothing" else." Champions of People's Kights, The new cabinet contains men who led in the struggle against the old gov ernment and enjoyed full confidence of the country. Professor Milukoff and M. Shingaroff. the new minister of agriculture, have become especially prominent as champions of the rights of the people. It is due to Professor Milukoff that revelations regarding the political intrigue and corruption of the old reactionary government were brought before the public. While the duma and the working men's committee agreed upon the cabinet, they still remained somewhat at odds regarding the form the new government shall assume. The work ing men's deputies wished to leave this question undecided until after the holding of a constitutional assembly, which will be charged with revising the present constitution desiring to call this assembly without delay. People's Assembly to Decide. The duma group, fearing dangers to the country in the absence of a definite government suggested abdica tion of the emperor and the regency of Grand Duke Michael. This will be the temporary arrangement pending the decision of the constitutional as sembly. The following additional cabinet ap pointments have been made. Minister of trade and commerce A. I. Konovaloff. Procurator general of the holy sy nod M. Lvoff. Prince Lvoff, the new premier, is president of the central committee of all Rusian Zemstvo unions. "The re-establishment of a power capable of achieving a victory, as demonstrated by recent events, will increase the popular enthusiasm and multiply the national forces of the people's anger and their determina tion," declared Professor Paul Mil ukoff, new minister of foreign affairs today. "Our revolution was the short est and least bloody of any in his tory' he asserted. LEGAL. Published in The Topekn State Journal, March 10, 1017. SENATE BILL NO. 274.

There is also a possibility of hasten ing a session of congress, if necessary, in order to secure powers for the president to bring government forces into play to handle the crisis. The president, still weakened from his protracted illness, will leave his room for the first time in nine days to attend the cabinet neeting. Propose Wilson us Arbiter. Washington. March 16. President Wilson will act on suggestions by the railway brotherhoods or managers that he mediate in the eight-hour day trike set for Saturday, u such sugges tions reach him. This can be stated on the highest authority. New York, March 16. Indications hat President Wilson may be asked to mediate in threatened railway strike scheduled to begin tomorrow evening, developed today when the railroad managers hurriedly went into conier- ence shortly after W. G. Lee, speaking as president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, suggested tne step. The brotherhood chiefs followed ine example of the managers and also went into an informal conierence. te made his statement in talking with newspaper men and tne quicKness with which the railway managers went into conference, led to the belief that it was being favorably considered. W. G. Lee, chairman or tne train Tnen'a hrotherhood. declared today that 95 per cent of the men called out Saturday night will strike. Xo Bluff This Time. "The railway managers cannot get it into tre!r hcac".s that this strike is real and apparently they will not be lieve it until they wake up Sunday morning and find their trains stopped," he said. The rauroaas ciaim a-t ibi itu-ty-tive per cent of their men will re main loyal, this group being composed of men who have long service behind them and are nearing the time when pensions would become operative. President Daniel Willard of the Bal timore Ohio, a member of the Na tional Defense council who would sit with President Wilson's cabinet in case of war, is in Washington tdday. ie left immediately after the break in negotiations and there was hope here that the fact that he is a former engi neer, a railway president, a semi official adviser of President Wilson, would enable him to draw together the various threads'of the contro versy. Washington, March 1 6. President Wilson and other government officials today canvassed all phases of the rail road strike situation but their hope of preventing it did not seem very strong. Congress at the last session failed to pass, a bill to empower the president to seize and operate railroads in an emergency. Many officials today were inclined to doubt the efficacy of a personal appeal from the president to railroads and employes to compose their dif ferences. Those more optimistic be lieved a compromise would be ar ranged, perhaps even after the first phases of the strike had been put into effect. Strike Maine to California. New York, March 16. Peace nego tiations between the railroads and the employes' brotherhoods have failed. The country today faces the prospect of a strike of conductors, engineers, firemen and trainmen that will tie up railroads' transportation from Maine to California. At 7 o'clock eastern time, Saturday night, unless President Wilson successfully intervenes or an unexpected compromise is reached, the strike will begin with the freight and yard employes of the New York Central, the Nickel Plate and Balti more and Ohio lines and in the switch ing yards at Chicago and St. Louis. Strike orders call at first for a ces sation of work only on freight trains. The employes expect that their first display of strength will bring the roads to terms. If it fails, the strike will be extended on successive days to freight employes throughout the country until by Wednesday all the roads will be affected. Passenger Crews Quit Wednesday. On Wednesday, if the railroads still hold out, the men will begin to leave the passenger trains. If the men carry out their program every mile of rail road in the country both freight and passenger service will feel the effects of the strike by Monday, March 26. Plans to combat such a strike were completed by the railroads of the country last winter when the crisis was averted bv the action of Wilson and the passage of the Adamson law. Each road apparently will work out its individual methods. Indications today are that the managers hope a large percentage of their men will re fuse to obey the strike order and that a partial servic- will be maintained. Appeals- to employes to remain loyal were issued last night by the New York Central and the Baltimore Ohio roads, which would be among the first affected by the walkout. One railroad authority said today that if the roads could keep six trains in movement every day on their main lines they would break the strike. The roads expect to accomplish this andj fused to allow their names to be pub perhapS more by manning trains withl lished. Withholding their names was pensioned employes. foremen. dis patchers and traffic and office men not members of the striking brotherhoods. Thus far the railroads have announced no plans fot recruiting strikebreakers outside the service. Expect General Freight Embargo. Indications that the railroad man agers fear the strike will begin as ex pected is seen in the action of many eastern and middle western railroads which began to issue freight embar goes last night. Some of the western roads put out notices to shippers that freight would be received "subject to delay." Railroad executives here believe that the American Railway associa tion at its meeting in Washington to day will recommend a general freight embargo. The effect of the railroad situation was apparent here today in the rising prices of provisions. Hotels and restaurants and many individual consumers are laying in large stocks of food in anticipation of a tieup of freight facilities. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Word was received here today of the death of George R. McPherson, formerly of Topeka. He died Wednesday at Dating, Texas. The body will be broaght to To- Eeka for burial. Funeral arrangements ave not been completed. MARY STEPHENS SAUNDERS, age 71. died Thursday at her home, at 307 Chandler avenue. The funeral will be held from Shellabarger's chapel.

Many Roads Already Have Or dered Ban on All Freight. I New York, March 16. As one of the first steps, to deal with the disorgani zation of transportation which will be caused by the railroad strike the na tional conference committee of rail way managers has informed the indi vidual railroads that an embargo on all perishable freight is advisable. No lYeight on N. Y. Central. New York, March 16. Orders were issued here today by the New York Central railroad instructing agents to notify all shippers that on account of threatened labor trouble no freight traffic would be received until fur ther notice. Oklahoma Men Won't Strike? Oklahoma City. Okla., March 16. Outwardly indifferent and apparently manifesting little interest in strike moves ordered by leaders of the big four brotherhoods, railway trainmen at division points in Oklahoma await ed the return of their representatives from a special meeting held in St. Louie. They are expected home to morrow and a meeting probably will be called to consider their reports. Local organizations at McAlester were reported lined up against a walk out. Railroad men long in the service there, it was said, dislike giving up theirseniority, annual passes and pen sions, together with preferred runs, which they would have to do should they strike. Rock Island Accepts Freight. While the Santa Fe and Frisco roads are accepting freight subject to 1 de lay; the Rock Island continued today to ignore the threatened tie up. No instructions have come to local offi cials of the Rock Island and they con tinue to work under normal conditions. Freight Only, at Owner's Rick. Kansas City. March 16. Genera! headquarters of the Kansas City Southern railroad here today in structed agents on its lines to accept freight only at the shipper's risk and subject to delays. At the president's office it was said that the road ex pected to take every precaution against a tieup of its lines. The steps to be taken were not given out, the statement being made that the road's course would depend upon develop ment of the next few days. A con ference of operating heads was be ing held to consider the threatened strike. Mich. Central Declares Embargo. Detroit, Mich., March 16, Officials of the Michigan Central railroad here at noon declared a general embargo on all freight shipments, effective im mediately. General Superintendent Henry Shearer transmitted the order to all division points. Grand Trunk Embargo. Montreal. March 16. The Grand Trunk railroad today issued an em bargo on all freight because of the possibility of a railroad strike in the United States. General Embargo at Chicago. Chicago, March 16. Railroads en tering Chicago began sending out no tices of embargoes today. The first came from the New York (Central, which announced that after midnight tonight absolutely no freight would be accepted. The notices of the various belt line companies followed. The majority" of the notices were similar to those sent out last summer when a strike seemed imminent. Thev said that perishables and livestock would not be accepted and that other freight would be subject to delay at shippers' risk. Railroad managers were unable to forecast the extent to which their employes would obey the strike order. Tomorrow night they will survey the remnant of their forces and organize service on emergency basis. SANTA FE READY (Comlnuedfrom Page One) work, when the trouble was averted by the passage of the famous Adam son bill. Press Shopmen In Service. Should a large percentage of the brotherhoods affected on the Santa Fe strike, it is known that the big western road has resources from its non-unionized shop men that can be pressed into service. M. J. Drury, superintendent of shops, this morning refused to state how many men he knew, to be available to run trains should the strike really materialize. Stand by Santa Fe? Employes in the four brotherhoods of the Santa Fe system, west of Chi cago, have received orders to strike Tuesday night, it was stated here by members of the brotherhoods who re- taken to indicate that fcanta i e em ployes, at least, would stand by their road. A press dispatch received from the east tends to confirm the impression here that the Santa Fe employes will not strike. "The declaration has often been made since a railroad strike loomed big on the American industrial hori zon that the Santa Fe employes would not strike when the call actually came," reads the dispatch. Apparently noticeable was the lack of nervousness In the office of E. Ray mond, general superintendent. He didn't seem Jo have any worries at all, was issuing no orders prepara tory for a strike of such dimensions and spent the entire forenoon working on a plan for some roadbed changes. Officials in Chicago. "The only strike news I have came from the newspapers," he said. However, the executives of both side of the big road seem to have se lected Chicago as their headquarters. F. C. Fox, general manager, is in Chi cago. Two of the big brother hood men also are in Chicago, C. E. Hempstead, local chairman of the B. of L. E. and E., and treasurer of the western division, and W. C. Reiser, chairman of the western division. It is expected that all big orders concern ing the strike on western roads will come from Chicago. Wheat Jumps 4 Cents. Chicago, March 16. May wheat jumped 4 cents in the pit today and closed at 11.83, the highest figure of the day, on rumors circulated by trad ers just before the market closed that the railroad strike had been settled. Other wheat futures advanced, as did corn and oats RUSSIA'S NEW CABINET. Petrograd, March 16.

The special senate session which began March 5 adjourned at 3:03 p. m. today sine die. This morning the treaty with Colombia to pay $25,000,000 for the partion of Panama was withdrawn from the senate on motion of Chair man Stone of the foreign relations committee. Senator Stone's action was taken to foreshadow further diplomatic ne gotiations with Colombia for a new treaty which would not be received with such strong objections and effort to frame a more acceptable treaty is expected before the cqneress which convenes in special session April 16, has adjourned. Arrangements for adjournment sine die were made when the senate at 1:40 p. m. opened its doors and adopt ed resolutions to inform the presi dent that unless he has further busi ness it was ready to adjourn.

Biby, national treasurer of the Knights and Ladies 'of Security, delivered an address at the Chamber of Commerce this noon. He is the originator of the idea of an old folks' and orphans home, which the. order will soon establish. Many offers from cities in different parts of the country have been received asking for the in stitution. Mr. Biby outlined the re quirements that the favored city must fulfill. "Neither politics nor any other such thing will decide the minds of the seven members of the home commis sion in selecting a site." said Mr. Biby. "The city that offers the best site will be the one to get the institution. To peka will not be favored just because it is the home of the order. Climatic conditions, accessibility and many other features must be considered." The Chamber of Commerce will ap point a committee to confer with the home commission tomorrow. An ef fort will be made to have the home located in Topeka. for martiaTTaw Ohio Will Call Out Guards to Run Trains in Case of Strike. Columbus, O., March 16. Gover nor Cox today wired President Wilson a statement, which, he said, "reflects the mental attitude of Ohio in her de sire to help you" in the international and railroad crisis. Swift prepara tionsv were being made to. place Ohio under martial law in case the strike develops a food crisis. While Adjutant General Wood re fused to discuss militia plans, it was believed the governor's scheme in cludes military protection of em ployes who refuse to strike and man ning of trains, if necessary, with strikers under military surveillance or with guardsmen of railroad training. Vrges Military Seizure of Trains. Vicksburg, Miss., March 16. "I suggest President Wilson put the rail roads of the United States under mili tary control," said W. L Park, Chi cago, vice president of the Illinois Central railroad here today. "The president has this power and it is the only solution of the prob lem," he said, discussing the threaten ed strike of the brotherhoods. Wilber Horton, delivery boy for an Osage City merchant, decided while out on his "route" that he would seek a new job and he quit right where he was and caught a train for Topeka. His employer missed him when it came time to check up the cash. He says he missed $25 also. The em ployer telephoned to the Topeka po lice to watch the trains and Oflieers McGovern and Alba had no trouble in identifying the boy when he stepped from the train. Horton Is now in the city jail awaiting the arrival of of ficers from Osage City. He told To peka officers he came to Topeka to get a new job.

The Turks apparently have not halt ed their flight northward from Bag dad on tho west bank of the Tigris, where they were last reported by Con stantinople "as somewhere to the south of Samara, 70 miles north of Bagdad. General Maude, the British com mander, reports them continuing to fall back. On the other side of the Tigris, how ever, the Turkish forces are appar ently endeavoring to hold on, for a time at lep.st to territory lying north east from Bagdad, toward the Persian border. General Maude's report an nounces occupation by the British of a portion of Bakubah, on the Diala river about 30 miles northeast of Bag dad. It seems not unlikely that the Turkish purpose is to hold off the British in this region as a measure of assistance 1o the Turkish armies from Keimanshah, which at last ac counts were retreating toward the Persian border not far north of the present point of contact between Brit ish and Turks on the Diala. .The Brit ish object in driving northeastward seems to be to push a wedge between the Turkish Mesopotamian forces and the Ottoman troops retiring along the Kermanshah-Bagdad Caravan road. .Fighting of notable importance is taking place on the Macedonian front, tne i rench have been on the aggres sive with considerable forces there for some days. Today's Berlin renorts sav several attacks by the French occurred yesterday northwest and north of Monastir. The Germano-Bulgarian position near IS'ijopole, six miles west of Monastid, was admittedly-breached in this series of assaults. Otherwise the attacks are declared to have fail ed, as did French attack farther west between Lakes Ochriad and Presba. In the house of commons today the British chancellor of the exchequer indicated that an appeal to the coun try was possible because of the atti tude of the Irish Nationalists hamper ing the government in its conduct of the war. There has been a general desire of Great Britain to avoid elec tions during the war and the life of parliament has been extended to obviate the necessity of holding them. HE GETS NO ALIMONY However, Sirs. Scott Is Given nivorce From Restaurant Man. Mrs. Clarence Scott, who when she filed her petition for divorce from the well-known Topeka restaurant man agreed to pay her husband ali mony, has been granted a divorce. But she will not be required to pay ali Ynony. Nor will Clarence Scott pay ali mony. There is nothing whatever said about property or alimony in the jour nal entry. The Scotts formerly owned and op erated the Cremerie restaurant. Then it was taken from them thru receiver ship proceedings and Scott continued to manage it. Then the place burned and it went into new hands. Mrs. Scott blamed all of their bad luck, except the fire, to her husband s hab its. They opened a reta'.irant on Kan sas avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets and Mrs. Scott stated in her petition that it was a prosperous bus iness but because of her husband's habits it was going to pieces.

Throws Scare Into IT. S. Telling of! (Jcrmany's Army of 12 Million. j New York, March 16. Greeted by cheering thousands who congregated in Broadway during the noon hour rush jto pay their respects, James W. Gerard, former United States ambas sador to Germany, reached New York today. Responding to welcoming addresses before the city hall, Gerard paid trib ute to President Wilson, declaring that if war comes it will be only after the president has exhausted his last ef fort to steer clear of the maelstrom. Gerard expressed pleasure "Tiiat a man of German origin" was one f those whose names were on the wel coming committee. 'It is not surprising," he said, "that a man of German origin should feel a sentimental duty to be loyal to a certain extent to the fatherland, but if the need arises they will all be found loyal. If it should be necessary I am willing to lead a regiment of these men into war without any fear of bemg shot in the back." Gerard declared he was astonished to find that this country had made no tangible move toward national de fense during the two and a half years he has been absent. "Germany," he said, "has 12,000,000 men under arms, and often takes prisoner in a single day more men than our army contains. There are more chauffeurs in New York and New Jersey than there are men in our army." ew York Mone, Market New York March 10. SIDNEY Mer un tile paper. 4?J44 per rent.

CTCAUGHT SHORT Faces Probable Rail Tleup With low Stocks or Provisions. Kansas City, March 16. This city will face the threatened railroad tie up with diminished stocks of certain provisions according to dealers here today. Commission men declared that the supplies held here were light at the present time and that seemingly the only hope for more was that stocks in transit to the east and other sec tions might be stopped here. A de moralized market condition during the last week or more was given as one of the causes. Dealers were making every arrangement possible to meet the threatened tieup. The large packing concerns here, however, declared that several weeks' supply of meat was available and min imised the possibility Tf a shortage. Coal dealers expressed concern re garding fuel, saying that the city's storage facilities were small and that little coal was now being held here.

To see the ting of healthy bloom In your face, to see your skin get clearer anu clearer, to wake up with out a headache, backache, coated tongue ov a nasty breath, in fact to feel your beEl, day In and day out. Just try inside-bathing every morning for one week. Beforr breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate In it as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate will cost very little at the drug store, bu'. Is sufficient to demonstrate that Just as aoap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos phate act on the blood and internal or gans. Those who are subject to con stipation, bilious attacks, acid stom ach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, a"e assured that one week of inside-bathing will have thetn both looking and feeling better in every way.

Can Transport Half of Milk Supply by Motor Trucks. Chicago, March 16. "With a meet ing: of. the traffic committee of the Chi cago chamber of commerce called for noon today, city officials and heads of the various industrial lines of the city were considering ways of first bring ing the necessities of life Into the city, should a nation-wide rail strike be called and then of conserving these necessities and using them to the best advantage for the public. The supplying of milk for the city promises to be the most serious ques tion and here the order of business will be "babies first.' By the use of electric lines and motor trucks it is estimated tat as high as 50 per cent of the normal sup ply of 1,250,000 quarts needed daily, can be brought into the city. Well Stocked With Provisions. Dealers, both wholesale and retail, have announced that an ample supply cf staple edibles is on hand, this in cluding meats, canned goods, flour, grain and fish. The egg supply is fftir and the supply of vegetables and fruit is sufficient for several days. Dealers are silent on the coal supply question, altho it has been stated on authority that the supply on hand is sufficient for at least fifteen days, with the mod erate weather now prevailing. The electric roads running into the city are preparing for the biggest business of their history, in their at tempt to handle the 100,000 com muters no being carried daily by the steam roads. Officials of the various lake transpo-tation companies said they had not made any plana, but that they would attempt to care for whatever freight traffic is diverted their ,way. Because of the ice in the upper part of Lake Michigan, traffic there will be impossible before the middle of April. The China of Today. Altho illiterate in western learning and weak in western arms, the Chi nese have a moral. training in democ racy and individual independence which gives them a fighting chance under the most advanced and enlight ened forms of western government. Alone among the people of Asia, they have no hereditary aristocracy of blood, privilege or title. The idea of the equality of man goes to the roots of Chinese culture. There is only one class the people re vere the scholars and it is the ideal of Chinese life that every boy of every class and degree shall have ah equal chance to become a scholar. Next to the scholar, the old rule of popular estimation places the farmer, the producer of food; next to him the artisan, the man who shapes the ne cessities of life with his hands. The man Who sells these products, the merchant, is below all three. The sol dier, taker of life, is at the bottom of the list. Gardner L. Harding, in "Present Day China.

Angry Boy With Butcher Knife Played Part of Steer. LASSOED AND HOG TIED That's the Way Relatives Had Him When Sheriff Arrived. Too Many Jobs Cause of Leedy Baskins's Troubles. Leedy Baskins, a nineteen-year-old boy, went on a rampage with a butch erknife in hand today and when the officers arrived his relatives had him choked down with a strap and tied hand and foot. Baskins and his mother fell out be cause he had two Jobs offered him. One paid him $1.50 a day and the other fifty cents a day.- He insisted upon taking the fifty-cents-a-day Job and his mother stood out for the other Job. The fight started between mother and son but it spread rapidly. Involv ing first a sister and then a brother-in-law. The family went round; Leedy and his butchorknlfe after first one dear relative then another, and the remaining two after him with straps and ropes. Roped Like a Steer. Finally someone made a lucky throw and a looped strap fell over Leedy's head. Four willing hands grasped it and when it pulled taut circulation and respiration ceased. A few seconds of steady pulling and the youth was flat on his back gasping for air and three affectionate rela tives were trussing him up with rope. Then a call was put in for the sheriff. Robert Miler reached the Baskins home at Twenty-third and Madison streets after the fight was over. While the three relatives gathered in out-of-the-way places he cut the ropes and loosened the strap, then stood the boy up. 'He took him to the courthouse and a complaint charging him with some crime will be sworn out later. Bas kins has been in several similar scrapes.

Kan sas City's auto motor car thief asso ciation will ask a new city ordinance which they believe will effectually check the wave of automobile stealing that has swept Kansas City for the past two months. The association will ask the city council to order "locks attached to controls, not to the wheels" on cars, under penalty of a fine. This an nouncement was made here today. Other suggestions the association made are as follows: To station patrolmen at several roads leading out of the city. To make it incumbent upon garage men and filling station operators to register by number all cars cared for. To compel registration of a bill of sale with the recorder of deeds for all motor car transfers. To lessen the number of paroles granted motor car thieves. Travel to Europe After War. When the European war is over it will scarcely be possible to find steam ers sufficient to carry the American people who for a year or two will rush to Europe. Hundreds of thou sands of tourists will want to go simply to see the ruin that war has made. It is quite safe to estimate that pleasure tourists, those who go to hunt up relatives and those who desire to study battlefields and scien tific achievements, will spend a sum not less than $500,000,000 a year for several years after the war closes. We do not beleive the extent of this business has been generally under stood. In volume and in influence on international finance and on the bal ance of trade it will have a very far reaching effect.

There were several minor outbreaks .when hungry people broke Into bread stores and were dispersed by the po 1 tee. The po 1 ice and some of the troops from the Petrograd garison were visibly half hearted In their sup pression of the disorders. In many cases blank cartridges were fired on the mobs of the people, now steadily increasing. Cava lry regiments were cheered by the people, who readily obeyed their orders to clear the streets. March 10, (Saturday.) The crowds increased. Government officials finally became alarmed end ordered troops to fire into the solid masses of the people in Nevsky Prospect. The troops there were drawn up with machine guns. They flatly refused to curry out this massacre. Officials promptly replaced them with the police, known to have no compunctions of this sort. The po lice fired several volleys. The first general clash of the populace and the government forces followed. The csar ordered the duma dissolved and it was apparent he had determined on rever sion to stern repression again. March It, (Sunday.) Widespread clashes continued all of Saturday night and Sunday. These culminated in the first big break in the government's to res. A Kn ssi an re gi men t of t he Petrograd garrison revolted when their officers demanded they oien fire on the hungry people. Another joined later. Four more cume over late at night. These forces combined and took the strong fortress of HC Peter and St. Paul after a brief battle. Their suc cess led to other wholesale mutinies of troops with bloody scenes as the troops killed their officers or overwhelmed the small number that still remained loyal to the czar. Then the troops marched in force against the police nnd de feated them in a bloody street fight. This was the first day of organized revolt. March 12, (Monday.) Street fighting continued unabated, but in the after noon the tide of battle turned for the revolutionists when with dramatic swiftness one of the government regi ments opposing the regiments fighting for the people, suddenly' left its place in barricades and joined the revolu tion.

That's why the sport question in this section of the sport world today was: Will Missouri or Kansas win the re lay and break the tie? The relay counts five points. To date the dope favors the Mis souri relay team. Last Saturday at St. Louis the Missouri team defeated Michigan's crack quartet, while at Urbana, HI., Michigan beat the Kan sas team. However, Missouri realizes that O'Leary and Rodkey, and their two running partners from Lawrence, Welsh and Murphy, are not to be taken lightly and has not yet reached a position of complete satisfaction that the race is as good as won. Daggy, Wyatt, Rider and Selbie are the regular members of Missouri's re lay team. However, "the great "Bob Simpson, world athlete, has been groomed for Missouri's team in event it takes the relay to win tne meet to night and Bob Simpson is some sprinter. If Simpson runs one 01 tne quarters in th relav. Kansas in all probability will have to depend on seme other of the events, placed in Missouri s col umn, to win the meet.

Son of the lJUe Count Ix-o Tolstoi, Who Has Been In the United States for Some Time. Boulder. Col.. March 16. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch is not a strong enough man to handle the affairs of Russia, and that is why the regency of the grand duke would be unsuccessful. The grand duke does not possess force of character to carry thru the reforms demanded by the people, nor the ability to handle the affairs of government. Russia's revolution is not due, to the food shortage. The idea is ridic ulous and has absolutely nothing to do with the conditions. Underlying the whole thing is the question of reactionary ministers and the pro German ministers in the cabinet. There is ample proof of this. First we may take Sachomlinoff, the min ister of war. who undoubtedly is pro German and has proven so. As min ister of war he naturally had change of the army and munitions. His ac tions were pro-German at all times. At one time he even went so far as to have shells manufactured that were absolutely of no use to the Russian guns. An investigation was not e.ven held ror was the minister reprimanded or punished. Then there 5s Stunemer. who is not only pro-German but has a distinctly German name. As minister of for eign affairs and political council of ministers he wielded his power to wards the kaiser. "The fighting forces of Russia have beon demoralized by these anti-ally ministers. Since the fighting in the Carpathians last year when 500,000 Germans were captured the Russian troops have done nothing. Wipe Out Evils. "With Viusenief in charge of the army, there w&s a great man and he could have done more but his power was cut off. Bu this revolution will change everything of that character. The soldiers will know now that the YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOK AT TONGUE Hurry, Mother! Remove poisons from little stomach, liver, bowels.

"If the revolution is successful, it will spread throughout Russia but will not be accompanied by any rioting. The people in other places will know the government has recognized the revolution and has accepted it. "Although press dispatches say that Michael has been regent. I can not bring myself to believe it. He is too loyal to the emperor in the first place. In the second he is a quiet, unassum ing man and not the kind who would seek the publicity attendant on the regency. I know him personally, have worked with him in Red Cross work and it is on my intimacy with him that I base my opinion. "Before Alexis, the emperor's son was born, Michael was the heir to the throne. As the heir's brother he would have become emperor at Nicholas' death Alexis now is 17 years old. Shortly after the birth of Alexis, Mi chael married a hiu j W I J lillH.ITl EJ aaugnter Soon after he was exnelled f.?,1? the 00"ntry and did not return until after the war started."

The same rule will take up its work whore it left off. "I had predicted that a revolution would come in Russia after the war but did not believe that it would occur during the struggle. It has come ahead of time but I think it will have a wholesome effect on the whole country." IN SAME HOUSE Divorced Druggist and Wife Lived at 824 Buchanan St. After Nine Years They Are Quietly Married Again. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Pope, who. the city directory for 1916 shows, live at 824 Buchanan street, were married by the probate judge of Douglas county at Lawrence this week. When Mr. Pope applied for a li cense to wed Dorothy Pope the pro bate judge noted the similarity of names and asked if they were re lated. "We have been." replied the, pros pective groom, "but are not at the present time. The divorce court has i mterrered with our married life." C. S. Pope is a well known Topeka druggist and formerly owned drag stores both in Topeka and in Osage county. Away back in 1909 Mrs. Pope filed suit for divorce and obtained a decree the same day the suit was filed. She filed it September 11. 1909. and the case was heard and disposed of the same day. She charged cruelty, violent lan-' guage and similar infractions of do mestic rules and regulations. The court granted her alimony to the amount of $2,000, an attorney fee of $100 and the custody of a boy. Albert James Pope, then ten years of age.

Reinlscli Tells Best Way to Prepare and Transplant Plants. There are three methods of securing potato seed, according to E. F. A. Reinisch, superintendent of Gage park, who spoke Wednesday night at the T?atlrnnrf "V TVfr Reinisph eavp a. !t:ilV rr "Tmnrnvinp the, W (imp Hflr. den," from an artistic as well as a practical viewpoint. Potatoes for seed may be secured by the common meth od of cutting with two or three eyes in each piece, by cutting real thick potato parings into strips containing two or three eyes and also by plant ing the sprouts which begin to grow on the potatoes in the cellar at this time of the year. Mr. Reinisch save as general direc tions that all garden seeds should ba planted to tne oepin oi tour times tne thickness of the seeds. He advise3 planting onion sets instead of the seed as this is the most profitable and the easiest way of getting a crop. Where beets are sown thick in the rows, Mr. Reinisch says they should not be thrown away but should be trans Ddanted. Rutabagas should also be sown and then transplanted. In trans planting both tomatoes and cabbage plants they should oe taKen rrom tne soil in wnicn tney are nrst grown wnn enough soil around the plants to cover the roots. Alter placing mem in tne hole prepared in the garden, they should be held firmly in place and covered. After they are covered a quart of water to each plant should be poured around the roots. When this has soaked in, the place should then be covered with dry soil, which will prevent the moisture from be neath escaping. Mr. Reinisch says that he has found that from 1 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon is the best time to transplant cabbage plants, also they should not be transplanted until the plant has grown a second leaf.

Duma Demanded Czar Change Gov't Last November. FAILED IN GREAT FOOD CRISIS High Up Officials Suspected by Public of Pro-Germanism. Czar Deaf to Appeals That His Subjects Were Loyal. Chicago. March 16. Professor Samuel Harper, professor of Kuasian language, literature and history at the University of Chicago, and who is considerea the lead ing American authority on Russian affairs, has written the following for the United Press dealing with the internal situation which brought about the revolution and overthrow of the czar. Dr. Harper return ed from Russia where he made a study of present political, economical and social conditions six months ago. BY SAMUEIi N. HARPER. The Russian coup d'etat is the log ical culmination of the political situa tion of these last few months. In November last, when the duma con vened a complete change of the gov ernment system was demanded. The government had shewn again its In efficiency, this time in connection with the distribution of the food supplies of the country. The government was actively interfering with the activity of the public organizations working to support the army and to solve the many problems raised by the war. And finally some members of the gov ernment were suspected of pro-Germanism. Fear of Premature Peace Offer. It was not considered possible for a, moment that Russia would betray her allies, but it was realized that the then Prime Minister Sturmer might put his influence forward for a pre mature conference of the belligerents, such as Germany did in fact later propose. On all these grounds the duma de manded definitely a responsible gov ernment, ministers responsible to the representative bodies. This demand was supported by the upper house of the Russian parliament, half of whose members are appointed by the sover eign. And behind the duma were these public organizations in which all classes were represented land owners, peasants, members of the lib eral professions, manufacturers and workmen in fact the Russian people. A few days after the duma had is sued its ultimatum, the ministers of war and of the navy addressed the duma reporting upon the work of their departments, praising the public or ganizations that they were working for the support of the army, and stat ing that there must be co-operation between duma and government. A few days later the prime minister resigned. Retained Pro-Germans in Office. The new prime minister appointed attempted honestly to work with the duma. He tried to rid himself of colleagues in whom neither he nor the duma had confidence. He failed, however, and was in turn dismissed and a frankly reactionary minister was appointed and those members of the government whose names had been mentioned in the pro-German intrigue, were retained in office, the date for the reopening of the duma. was postponed. When the duma convened finally on February 27, it declared that the new government did not represent respon sible government. In the meantime the food situation in the large urban Cdrltpra hnH hf,rriA a veal .-cici Th.p. Whs danger of disorders breaking out. I Then came the edict dissolving the duma. After trying moral pressure to no purpose, the duma had to resort to revolutionary methods. The revolution is a purely political revolution with the single aim of es tablishing responsible government, the duma leaders will be able to hold the confidence of the people, for they are acting in accordance with the popular demands definitely voiced by the all comprehensive public organizations mentioned above. Army and Duma a Unit. These same organizations have made it possible to bring off this revolu tion rapidly and without much vio lence. The duma is supported by the army for the army would have starved but for the work of the public organiza tions, the presidents of which are am0ng duma leaders. The fact that the-army is behind the duma also ac nollri, fnr thB fact that this revnln. tion was attended by a minimum of disorders. The revolution is political but not anti-dynastic. Every effort was made to convince the emperor that he could safely trust the people, that the people were really loyal to him and whole heartedly back of the war but it seem ed impossible to gain his ear. Con stitutional government was the de mand of the duma and is the object of the revolution, but the monarchial idea is firmly establisheu in Russia and the movement was directed not against the ruling dynasty, but against the irresponsible ministers wno were either deceiving or at least giving bad counsel to their sovereign.

Will Run Every Train, Says President of Illinois Central. Chicago, March 16. Conferences among leaders of the railroad brother hoods and railway managers today marked a general tightening of the organizations of both sides in prepara tion for the general railroad strike scheduled for tomorrow night. Early today seven brotherhood leaders went into secret conference to prepare strike plans to be presented this afternoon at a meeting of more than 1,000 general and local chairmen. The general managers association of the railroads was in session at noon at the Chicago club. None of the executives would discuss the defense plans it was admitted they were for mulating. K. C. Trainmen Oppose? Reports were persistent today that six officials of the various brother hoods from the Kansas City jurisdic tion had arrived in Chicago and were opposing the strike plans of the train men's leaders. Heads of several railroads expressed confidence that their men would re fuse to strike. President Markham of the Illinois Central said that he expected to operate every train on the system on regular schedule should the strike order go'in effect tomorrow. The freight traffic committee of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce was scheduled to meet at noon to consider ways of supplying the city with food. Ijee Expects Some to Dissent. New York, March 16. Reports from Kansas City and other points in the west that some of the employes were unwilling to obey a strike call were met by a statement by "W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen, that the leaders ex pected at least one in twelve to refuse to strike. "Don't, forget history says our Savior found one Judas among the twelve he selected," Mr. Lee said. "We, there fore, do not hope to beat His record. "Don't forget that we left the entire matter to President Wilson last Au gust and agreed to abide by his pro posal then. The railroads refused to settle the question. I have since pub licly proposed to leave the entire con troversy to President Wilson to say personally whether we should have the eight-hour day in freight and yard service without reduction of the pres ent daily rates. "The railroads seemingly prefer a strike rather than abide by President Wilson's suggestive method of settle ment. Who is disloyal to the govern ment?" LID ON ST. PATRICK'S?

LIKE ELECTRIC BUTTON ON TOES Tells why a corn is so painful and says cutting makes them grow. Press' an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns which merely makes them grow. Just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or cal lus from one's feet. A few drops ap plied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so -it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug is harmless and never in flames or even irritates the surround ing tissue or skin.

Victims of eye strain and other eye weak nesses and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Ir. Lewis v there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this re markable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have tlirown them away. tme man says, after nsinp It: 'l was almost blind. Could not sefe to read at all. Now 1 can read everything without my pi asses, ami my eyes do not hurt any more. At nfpht they would pa iii dreadfully. Now they feel fine ail the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used it says "The atmos phere seemed hazy with or without p lasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. 1 c:i it rea d even f i ne prln t wit hou t glasses." Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes, which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for sever.il years, both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim greeu blur to me. 1 cannot express my joy at what it has done for me." It is believed that thousands who wear Masses can now discard them in a reason able time and multitudes more will he able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble aud expense of ever getting glasses.

Note: Another prominent Physician to whom they above article was submitted, said "Yes. the Hon-Opto prescription is truly a wonderful remedy. Its constitu ent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them.

I can highly recommend it in case of weak, watery, aching, smarting, itching, burning eyes, red lids, blurred vision or for eyes iuf lammed from ex posure to smoke, sun, dust or wind. It is one of the very few preparations I feel should be kept on hand for regular use in almost every family." Bon-Opto. referred to above, is not a pntent medicine or a secret remedy.

BABY CAUSED REAL TROUBLE Something Happened While It Was Being- Examined! o One Paid Any Attention to American "Howls." BY KARL H. VOX WEIGAND. Berlin. March 16. To all -who had passed thru Kirkwall, Falmouth and Simple Way To End Dandruff There is one sure way that has nev er failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you de stroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. Adv. Dover, where the British search was fl Children's Hour ORPHEUM TOMORROW MORNING "HIAWATHA INDIANSINDIANS EVERYWHERE Also the "Pied Piper of Hamlin" "Our Middies of Annapolis "Cliff Dwellers of America" very businesslike, but with little show of force the imposing army which me, the Frederik VIII at Halifax was a revelation- It savored somewhat of comic opera, such was the gently sarcastic comment of the Germans aboard the liners. Men firmed with rifles and bayonets, everywhere crowded the decks, corri dors and halls. The passengers on the different decks were separated and guarded by the -bayoneters. The furniture was removed from the music room which was curtained off into a number of "black cabitiets.' The third degree chambers o-f inquisition began on the upper promenade deck with the Countess von Bernstorff, much to her surprise. Not, knowing that his wife was to be compelled to undergo such humiliation the ambassador had no chance to protest. Aroused to intense indignation, the passengers, including even pro-ally neutrals, 'characterized the treatment of the countess as "bad taste' on the part of the British. Both Prince and Princess atzfeldt were stripped, and for some reason the princess was searched with particular care. Relating her experience, she told how the inepectress pulled her toes to see if they were genuine and if anything was concealed between the toes. EVen the infant baby Princess Huberta did not escape the stripping. She achieved fame by being the youngest passenger on the Frederik and her vociferous protests could be heard on three decks. Dry Clothes Necessary. The baby princess, being like other babies, something happened. There was a hurry call for dry clothes. The mother of the baby was being searched in some man's cabin whose wardrobe did not include the necessary article. The bayonet sentry at the door would not let anyone out. Finally ttie com mander was called to decide the mo mentous question as to whether the much needed article could be sent for. He was equal to the emergency. He ordered to be sent to the princess's own cabin a messenger escorted by an armed sentry, who returned with a four-cornered cloth. However, the inspectress forgot to search the babj''s bed, inside which a hundred documents could have been concealed. Downstairs another comedy was transpiring.

DESMOND In "The Last of the Ingrams" Also a Comedy called out to Consul Baron Ungleter: '"Here, hold my gun for a moment!" Even the storm of indignation over the search gave way to merriment when the Germans saw the consul standing guard with the British blue jacket's rifle and bayonet. The sailor upon his. return to his post Was asked how it felt to give his gun to an enemy. '"1 guess." he replied, 'we are all alike in the sight of God. The Ger mans are no worse nor better than we are." My turn soon came. Four soldiers with rifle bayonets and two officers came to my cabin. With an officer and one guard i in front and in. guards auu ,v.oi.u officer behind me, I was marched- thru the eorri uor to the stairway lined with armeu bluejackets to the deck above. There ten other guards with rifles sat on each side, guarding the door to the inquisition chambers. American Howls Useless. "Coats and vests ort, please." com manded Assistant Paymaster Sheerln. Now the pants and shoes!" There I rebelled. I declared that even we meek Americans considered our pants strictly private property. My added assurance that nothing danger ous to the British lion was ta mine, was of no avail. Sheerin threatened to send for reinforcements. I pro tested indignantly, to which Sheerin politely replied: "6omehow our peo ple don't seem to pay much attention to American howls." He then held my undershirt to the light in an effort to detect writing, looking even between the folds of the collar. Then he sounded the soles of my snoes and examined the rubber heels. My experience was that or many others. The soles of Wolf von Igel were bored thru for secret docu ments and others rubber heels were pried off. After two days the much armed forces disappeared. The increasing friction between the navy officers and customs inspectors became evident, especially after two customs searchers had been taken off the ship. They had created a commotion, resulting in the order to close the shiD's bar. This evoked the loud protest of passengers wno declared that being penned like sheep on board ship was bad enough but that being Denned thus on a drv ship would result in mutiny. mat tne two customs searchers be came intoxiciated on duty was exceed ingly painful to the British navy of ficers. Next all the women burst out in their indignation to Capt. Adair Hall because customs inspectors had gone thru their cabins and "robbed" them of their hot water bags. As rubber is on the list of contra band, the Canadian inspectors carried out their orders to the letter, even try ing to take away .two dozen nipples from Dr. Fuehr, whose infant was among the passengers. The only threat Dr. Fuehr made was that he would tell the newspapermen and the result was that two navy officers gruffly, ordered the inspector to put back the saved nipples. The gallant Irish commander came to the assistance of the ladies and en deavored to get the rubber water bot tles back from the customs authorities whom several naval officers charac terized as a "band." The bags had dis appeared by this time, so Adair Hall went down into his own pocket and brought new ones and presented them to the women. During the search of the cabins Of Count Bernstorff and Dr. Fuehr, a bot tle of cognac disappeared from each. The sampling passengers private stock also in other cabins, to "determine contraband" soon began to manifest itself in Irish songs and jigs on deck by two or three customs inspectors. Adair Hall was much distressed over this. North Side News Inquiry discloses that North Topeka merchants face the opening of spring trade with business conditi6ns prac tically normal. Apparently high prices have not affected the activity of trade. While in a few lines of business the unusual weather has produced excep tional activity, and in others tended toward depression, the war .and mounting prices have figured less con spicuously than one might imagine in the condition-of local business. "People still spend all they earn," remarked a prominent merchant, "and the fact that thoir money does not buy as much as formerly only cuts down our profits, not the volume of business. We are compelled to sell on a narrower margin of profit." A few merchants think high prices have caused customers to use more care and judgment in selecting pur chases. They don't fling the shekels around as gaily as formerly. This is conspicuously true in the grocery busi ness. Foodstuffs have advanced more in proportion to their normal cost than anything else on the market. People are forced to be careful what they buy. Credit accounts are being restricted more than at any time in years. The banks report that during the last win ter there has been an abnormal quan tity of ready money in circulation, with a slack demand. With the com ing of spring and preparations for the planting of crops, the farmers are be ginning to require ready cash, and de mand for loans is picking up. On the whole, it is the unanimous opinion of merchants and business men that the North side has not yet felt the pinch of war times, and there is no Immediate prospect that it will.

One of the characteristic headaches due to uric acid in the system, which acts as a poison when it accumulates, is due to -alcohol taken the night be fore. The kidneys do not succeed in throwing off this poisonous accumula tion, the stomach is nauseated, or the blood congests in the head, causing throbbing pain, called headache the heart is depressed, circulation of blood poor to the extremities, the muscles feel tired, or twinges of pain here and there are felt, and when this uric acid is deposited in the tissues or Joints it causes rheumatism or gout. I always advise the drinking of hot water, a half pint in the morning, and a little Anuric Sometimes the "blues," or a sort of rash, or a pimply face, gives warning of an "uric acid storm.' At such times always take Anuric (dou ble strength), which can be obtained at almost any drug store, and which you will find dissolves the uric acid almost as hot water does sugar. Avoid too much meat, tea and alco hol. Drink an abundance of water, both hot and cold. Fake Anuric three times a day until the bad. symptoms all subside. This is the best way to avoid rheumatism and many of the pains and aches due to a uric acid condition. If you drink any alcoholic beverage you should keep the kidneys and liver active with Anuric, so as to throw off the poisons which accumulate. If your tongue is coated a dark brown taste, breath foul, followed sometimes by colds, indigestion, biliousness, con stipation or sour acid stomach, you should take some vegetable laxative. Such a one is male in sugar-coated form from the May-apple, leaves of aloe, and root of jalap, and commonly sold by almost all druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are standard and have been in ready-to-use form for nearly fifty years. Advertisement.

Strongfellow, who ran it for a while in the interests of the pro-slavery ele ment. They sold it to F. G. Adams and Robert McBratney, and they sold to O. F. Short, who sold it to Martin, who changed the name first to Free dom's 'Champion, and later to Cham pion. He ran the paper until his death, in 1S89. After his death the paper was run by his estate, until 1894, when it was sold to A. J. Felt. Since then it has had numerous editors and officers, and part of the time was pub lished only as a weekly. O. A. Sim mons, retiring owner, is a California banker. GIRLS STUDY FARMING. Kansas Heiress Will Handle Big Ranch Left by Grandfather. Manhattan, Kan., March 16.
