But New Board Relieved Them by Approving Contracts. Washington. Aug. 11. Huge ship pins contracts aggregating 775.000 tons and an outlay of $100,000.000 were approved by the shipping board today. The tonnage will include 88 wooden vessels and 60 steel ships, it is stated. With Chairman Hurley's signature on these contracts today and Admiral Ciipps's acceptance of resignations of five members of the emergency fleet corporation legal staff, the final diffi culty left o from the Goethals lnman .egime has been placed ber hind the new board. The contract. signed are those drawn by General Goethals but which have been held up until Admiral Cappa could study them carefully. His work was complete la.ft night. Serving Without Pay. The men who resigned are General II lib tee. Joseph F. Cotton, George P. Ilowland and Edward Hurling, all of whom were serving without pay. and George H. Savage. These men drew the contracts sponsored by Goethals which Dennian refused to sign during the late shipping row. They are step ping out because they believe Ad miral Capps should be permitted to choose his own lesal assistants now. Rublee and Hurling probably will become associated with the shipping board under Hurley immediately. One of the men is expected to be named to the post of general counsel for the board, a seat now vacant. i rT.y slight changes were made in i h oethajs contracts by Admiral Capps. A different arrangemtnt for paying the firms engaged in the work has been made and some of the fig ures are understood to have been trimmed somewhat. Xo firm can draw money on t he board, for in stance, unless it shows material and labor on hand to do the work con tracted for. Avoids IVlicate Situation. Hurley's action today narrowly averted a delicate situation arising again in the board. .Some contractors who had been told by Goethals to go aht.-'d with their work had made tre mendous preparations one had spent more than 1 IT.. 0 00 in enlarging his plant in New Kngland to handle the contract. He would have lost even as others large sums thru further de lay or refusal of the shipping board in approving the contracts Goethals had diijwn. I 'iter collaps'e of two big plants would have occurred today had not Hurley actt d. Despite pressure from all sides, both for tonnage and to save heavy losses by contractors, Hurley refused in act on the contracts until 'app.- hid gone over them carefully and ;j p pro veil every step. With this fin tlly a complished last night there was elation among the contractors here. The step taken is only the first ono. Millions more in contracts are now bemir worked out by. Admiral Capps.

PREMIER OPPOSES MEETING But Henderson Plan Carried Labor Party In Big Sweep. British Laborites Sow Trying To Line Up America. London, Aug. 11. Arthur Hender son, labor member of the British war council, has resigned his membership in the cabinet. Henderson has been under fire since he went to Paris recently to confer with French Socialists as to partici pating in the international Socialists' conference scheduled in Stockholm next month. He defencied his action by stating that he had met with the French Socialists as the leader of the labor party in England, not as a cabi net minister or official of the British government. His presence, however, was regarded as giving the impres sion that British officialdom was tak ing part in the discussion and brought on a great uproar. Member of War Council, Too. Henderson came into the position, from which he has now resigned, with the last construction of the cabinet by Lloyd George. Being a member of the war council, the inner circle of the cabinet, made his activity in con nection with the Stockholm confer ence especially objectionable to offic ials. He delivered an address at yes terday's, labor conference which voted for British representation at the Stockholm conference, favoring the resolution that was adopted. This was that the conference should be regarded as consultative and not binding. London, Aug. 11. The Pall Mall Gazette says it understands that Ar thur Henderson, the labor member of the British war council who yesterday addressed the British labor conference and advised sending of British dele gates to the Stockholm consultative congress, has tendered his resignation and that Premier Lloyd George has accepted it. I'rge U. S. to Send Delegates. London, Aug. II. Efforts to ind jee American, Belgian and other allied labor to participate in the Socialist conference at Stockholm, will be the next step of British workers following the overwhelming vote of yesterday's conference in favor of sending dele gates to Stockholm, it was admitted much is yet to be done.

Stockht lm, Aug. 11.

GAMBLE ON PEACE German Farmers Must Rill off I.lve Stock for Lack of Fodder. Copenhagen, Aug. 11. Representa tives of the German farming interests and the war food bureau at a recent meeting in Berlin decided that the shortage of fodder necessitated dras tic slaughtering of cattle this sum mer and autumn. To avoid the earlier mistake of wasting fodder and barely keeping the cattle alive thru the win ter, the farmers were advised to mar ket all except milch cows, indispensa ble draft cattle now largely replacing horses and such animals for which winter fodder to keep them in good condition was available. The measure was recognized as dan gerous to meat rations this winter and in 191 S, to the future of the livestock industry and the supply of manure, but the hopes of the farmers, it was said, were set on an early peace.

Streets Laid Out, Sewer, Wrater, Lights, Hospitals, Garages. New York, Aug. 11. More than 100,000 men are working with all haste today in sixteen cantonment camps scattered thruout the country, in an effort to have them as near completion as possible by September 1, when the first of America's new national' army will probably be mo bilized. With the settlement of differences which threatened strike troubles in all the camps, reports to the United Press from the sixteen cantonments indicate that most of them will be( ready by the middle of September a; the latest. Reports show 114,646 men employ ed in construction work at the1 camps. Laid Out In City Fashion. Sixteen "new cities" with thousands of bulidings, streets carefully laid out, sewerage and water systems, hospitals, garages, hangar and stables are rising into being. Tens of thousands of feet of lum ber are pouring into these camps daily. Every man capable of driving a nail or guiding a saw is being given a job. From 5.000 to 11,000 men are at work today in each of the various camps. Thousands of motor trucks, teams and wagons are engaged in the work of hauling lumber and supplies. Long lines of freight trains are carry ing the lumber from mills to the can tonments. Thus one of the biggest tasks Amer ica ever undertook is- being carried out almost beyond the notice 'of the country at large. To these camps will go the flower of American youth, untrained but will tContlpneii or Page Two! TEST DRAFT LAW Constitutionality of Conscription Act To' Be Tested. Washington, Aug. 11. The consti tutionality of the conscription act will probably be tested in the supreme court at its fall session. The case will come up on a writ of error from the federal court for the northern district of Ohio. Charles E. Ruthenberg, recently So cialist candidate for mayor of Cleve land; Alfred Wagneknecht, Ohio sec retary of the Socialist party, and Charles Baker, state Socialist organ izer, convicted of conspiracy to in duce persons subject to the conscrip tion act to evade that law, were sen tenced July 25 to one year in the Canton, Ohio, workhouse. The defendants immediately issued a writ of error and citation was served on United States Attorney E. S. Wertz, returnable August 24. Al tho the department of justice has heard of no attempt to raise funds to test the conscription law, the Ohio case is the first instance where an ac tual test has been started.

Washington, Aug. 11. Any appli cation for a passport for a delegatefto the consultative, conference at Stock holm -will be refused. The attitude of this, government.- toward thec.afer- ence Is no different from that toward j the recent Socialist conference 'in I Stockholm. State department officials continue j to regard as untimely par-icipation in j any conference of that character at j this time and if British delegates do go and learn at first hand the state ments of representatives from other countries, they will, of course, be made available for this government. To "Our German Friends." London, Aug. 11.- Yesterday's de cision of the British labor conference to send delegates to the consultative conference of the International So cialist organization at Stockholm, oc casioned big headlines in today's Evening News, which allude3;caustic ally to the speech of James Ramsay AlacDonald, in which he referred to our "German friends." A definite announcement of the government's intention regarding Brit ish representation at Stockholm prob ably will be made on Monday. It is pointed out that Premier Lloyd George recently intimated that the subject would engage the atten tion of the ministry in consultation with representatives of tho allied countries.

The trouble followed within a few hours the announcement that the company would operate cars beginning Monday morning with men imported for that purpose. The neighborhood of the barn where the riot, -occurred was quieted within a few minutes. Sleeping quarters were prepared. there for the St. Louis men and they quickly were taken inside. A conference between Clyde Tavior, acting president of the Street Car company, representatives of the :nen and city officials of this city and Kan sas City, Kan., was arranged to?ay to be held late this afternoon.

Harvey Bailey, business agent of the teamsters union, was shot in the shoulder during the earlier trouble and was taken to a hospital by strik ers. The blame for his wound was not fixed. As a concurrent development of the strike, officials of the building trades council, after a meeting at the Labor temple, gave out a statement saying that the 6,000 men of the var ious unions comprising the council would be called on to strike "if the street cars are operated by profession al strikebreakers."

North of St. Quen tin French troops last night made im portant progress in the region of Fayet, says the official statement given out today by the French war department. The French ejected th Germans from a large part of the terrain which they had captured on the night of August 9-10.

The Germans are figuring on the possibility of the British and French offensive in Flanders forcing them to retreat to their next defensive lines. A desperate hope of retaking posi tions that would permit an eventual retreat northward from the Aisne and Champagne regions is what inspired the German crown prince to his vio lent assaults ceainst the French lines, it appeared today. Profiting by the temporary lull in the Flanders battle, the crown prince resumed attacks along both the Chemin des Dames and the Moron villiers crests. Unless the. crown prince can drive the French from these two dominat ing positions before results of the Flande'-s battle forces a shortening of the (ierman front, the French from both the "Toadies Road" and Moron villiers will be able to cut off and massacre any attempt of the German center to retreat. Gorman Morale Waning. The German attack which has been growing stronger thruout the week, culminated in Friday morning's terrific assault from Pantheon to Chevrigny. There the same Alpine chasseurs, who on July 13. advanced 800 meters on a 1.500 meter front, repulsed the Germans with the heav iest losses. The German morale is weakening. This was indicated thruout the week by the constant surrender of their at tacking troops. The French took prisoners in almost every attack. Cap ture of assaulting troops has been ex tremely rare in the past. Recapture Atllfs Trench. Paris, Aug. 11. On the Aisne front the French carried out a brilliant at tack south of Aillcs and recaptured an important trench which had been stormed by the Germans. Repulsing several counter attacks the French maintained their new positions. WORSETHAN BATTLE Recent Heat Wave Took Toll of 995 Thruout l". 8. In a Week. New York, Aug. 11.

Sheppard Was Once a Well Known Topeka Contractor. "He had a gun and I had mine. It was his life or mine. I must have shot first." While her husband. George W. Sheppard, 49, until a year ago a prom inent Topeka contractor, lay dead at his home, 3800 Agnes avenue, Kansas City, Mrs. Dora Sheppard made that frank explanation of his death to Capt. M. J. Kennedy, of the Missouri city's police department. Kennedy, with patrolman, answered a call last mid night which said a shooting had taken place at the Sheppard home. Sheppard was found with a bullet thru his heart. The body was ordered to an undertaking establishment, and Mrs. Sheppard was taken, to the police matron's rooms at headquarters' sta tion. She was charged today with first degree murder and was held without bail. The call which came to the police station was an urgent one, the party making it said. Kennedy lost no time in answering it. As he rushed up the steps and opened the door Mrs. Shep pard met him in the hall. "You remember," she said, MI told you it would come to this." Had Complained to Police. Kennedy remembered at the police station, he said, that Mrs. Sheppard had come to his station on July 4 and complained that her husband wa using his motor car to take other women riding. Sheppard, according to the story told by Mrs. Sheppard, had returned Friday night from Topeka where he had been in an effort to trade his home at S800 Agnes avenue for To peka property. "We finished dinner," said Mrs. Sheppard, ."and I began to do tha dishes. I asked him if he thought we would get the property in Topeka. He said he didn't know .and was sullen and peevish about it. "1 be-jan to whistle as I worked. My husband told me to shut my mouth. I replied and asked if my mouth wasn't my own. 'I'm going oue of here," he Bald then, and I told him he wasn't going out. He went into a room and got a clean shirt and told me again he was going. He had a gun in his hand. Wife Got Gun Too. "I went and got a gun out of a trunk which had belonged to him. He had his gun and then I had mine and it was either his life or mine. He backed downstairs with his gun point ed toward me. I must have shot first. I shot twice. I don't know whether he fired or not; I was so excited at the tinie." Sheppard was hit in the heart by one of the bullets. The other went wild. According to Captain Kennedy, his revolver had not been fired. Mrs. Sheppard. according to the po lice, went to her husband after he fell and spoke to him. He didn't an swer and she dropped down beside him. She made' no attempt to escape. The police today said that domestic trouble first began 'between Sheppard and his wife when Sheppard pur chased a motor caiseveral years ago. In a statement made to the police Mrs. Sheppard said the pulling of the trigger of her revolver had been prompted because he had come to look upon their home as a "place to secure meals whenever his fancy dictated and to sleep whenever it was conven ient." The Sheppards have six children living. Claude, 28 years old. Mved across the hall from his parents. A daughter. Mrs. H. W. Potts, lives at 1720 Topeka avenue in Topeka. j.n other, Mrs. Mina Talbot, wife of Dr. Harry Talbot, lives at Hoyt. Three single daughters were not at home at the time of the shooting.

City directories show that n 1909 Oeorge Sheppard lived at 110 To peka avenue. In 1908 he lived at 1(20 Western avenue, and in 1907 at 109 Kansas avenue here. Sheppard lived here for years. His wife tnd he were both well known. In Kansas City Sheppard has been engaging in the general contracting business. TAFT NEEDSREST Former lresllent Weak From Lom of Food.

"In my judgment Mr. Taft is.better today and I hope will continue to im prove. His illness has required com plete abstention from food with con sequent loss of vitality.

German' Of Hcials Feared Imprisoned Socialfst Would Die Unless Freed. Paris, Aug. 11. Dr. Karl Lieb knecht. Socialist leader in the German reichstag who was arrested in connec tion with the May day demonstrations in Berlin in 1916, was liberated a fortnight ago by the German govern ment thru fear that he might die in prison. He is said to be suffering from tuberculosis, weighing only 84 pounds. The authenticity of the above seems certain, says the Temps's Geneva cor respondent, altho the German news papers in obedience to orders, have kept silent regarding it. Doctor Llebknecht was tried by court-martial at Berlin for "military treason," and sentenced to four years and one month in prison. A court martial at Thorn also is said to have sentenced Doctor Liebknecht to four and a half years at hard labor, charg ing that he had attempted to incite the soldiers of the Thorn garrison to disobedience and rebellion.

FAVOR MASSACRE Kaiser'S lianas Kea UltH Ar-ifore menians' Blood, Says Irishman. Could Have Prevented or Stop ped Armenian Slaughter. Chautauqua, ISf. Y., Aug. 11- T. P. O'Connor, M. P., the Irish Nationalist leader, in an address on the Armenian situation here this afternoon, told of Germany's responsibility for the slaughter of thousands in Armenia. "I am content," he said, "to have the merits and the aims of the two sets of belligerents tested by this case. For it is one of the most lamentable facts in this whole tragic story that the German rulers have played a ter rible part in these massacres I say rulers deliberately for we have many Germans earnestly interested in the fate of the Armenians. I have met one of them at various Armenian con ferencesDoctor Leipsius. There was a consul in nearly every one of the great Armenian -settlements where the massacres took place.- German Soldiers There. "The wires were open as we knew between the Armenian settlements and Constantinople for the massacres were ordered by telegram by the government in Constantinople. At the very mo ment the troops of Germany and Tur key were fighting side by side. Is it not clear, therefore, that Berlin had only to say a word and the massacres would not have begun, and even if they had begun, would not a word have brought them to an immediate end? Fcr these reasons, I feel en titled to say that the guilt of these hideous massacres lies at the door of the German as well as the Turkish authorities. "If I needed further proof of this fact, I would point to the action of the representatives of Germany; to Wangertheim refusing your ambassa dor, Mr. Morgenthau's appeal for in tervention; to Count von Bernstorff's attempt at Washington to deny th massacre; to the statements of Beth-mann-Holhveg, Zimmerman and other German officials in Berlin, which if they did not justify, at least extenuat ed this horrible, gigantic, unsurpassed crime against humanity. On the Right Side. "And having that conviction, how can 1, how can any man, who loves liberty, hates oppression, loathes I ruelty massacre, how can I help deling that I am on the right side when I feel myself in hostility to the present regime in Germany? How can I look for hope for the Armenians except in the defeat of both Turkey and Turkey's ally, the militarist party in Berlin? For these reasons I re joice that your great country has en tered the war, ha made the wise, the just and the humane choice in the war."

OUST DRAFT BOARD Scandal Breaks in 3Tew York Orer Exemptions. All Men Exempted by Board To Be Re-Examined. New York, Aug 11. All of the men exempted by the local exemption board in district 99 will be re-exam ined by a new board, the members of which Gov. Whitman is expected to name today. Roscoe S. Conkling, dep uty attorney general, was in charge of the board's headquarters today, pend ing the appointment of the new mem bers while an examination of the rec ords was being made. District 99, which is one Of the most congested sections of the East s'.de, was expected to fill a quota of 213. Out of a total of 728 men examined 317 were listed as physically qualified, 303 were rejected and 108 were held for re-examination. About 600 aliens remained to be examined when the members of the board were removed last night by order of President Wil son, "because of irregularities," after an investigation for the last few days on the part of the department of jus tice. The order of removal, which came from the state adjutant general at Al bany, concluded: "Governor Whitman urges that the charges now made be prosecuted to the fullest extent." Will Prosecute Members. Washington, Aug. 11. Members of the New York Ideal selective Jboard who were relieved yesterday, will be prosecuted, officials of the provost marshal general's office said- today. Up to this time, the New x orK. in cident is the only one where the good faith of a local board has been ques- I tioned. Officials said, however, that prompt steps to bring offenders to book would be taken or! the slightest I suspicion of irregularities. I Whatever action the New York i board has taken, improperly, in cases before it, will be rectified be- the district board. If fraud or DriDery is discovered ooin ixie uua-iu members and the individual will be prosecuted. Officials have in preparation a sup plemental ruling as to discharge for registered men, mostly naturalized aliens, supporting relatives in Europe, who cahnot obtain the arnaavits re quired from any foreign country in the time allowed. Lid Down On Aliens. Indications are that discharges will not be granted in many such cases. The soldier will have $25 a month at least to contribute to his farhily during his army service. That is more than the average foreigner sendt, home. Behind all this, however, is the fact that the interests of the United States are paramount. xne autnority to grant discharges for dependents was incorporated in the act to prevent such dependents from becoming public charges of the United States. No fam ily in Europe can become a public charge of the United States and it was thought likely officials would not go behind that fact as the interest of the individual is not involved but only the interest of the government. 5,580 MEN, FTTrILEY Conttnqefl from Page One) ing to fight.

CORN A -severe break in prices offered for corn for imme diate delivery tended today to weaken the market for futures. Industries -were bid ding only $1.95 for number 2 mixed this morning, a drop of 17c as compared with yesterday's last sales. The fresh setback was attributed to the fact that distillers continued to refrain from making any pur chases, and appeared to have fullv satis fied their wants previous to the enactment of the food control measure. Opening quotations for futures which varied from unchanged figures to e lower, with Dec. at $1.15M. to $1.154 and Mav at $1.1194 to $1.12, were followed by a slight rally and then a decline all around to well below yesterday's finish. The fact that notwithstanding the break cash prices were still at a big premium as compared with futures, prevented any radical weakness in futures. The close for futures was nervous at the same as yes terday's finish to c lower, with Decem ber. $1.144 to Sl.14, and May, $1.12 to $1.12V,. WHEAT Wheat slid downward, in fluenced by bearish sentiment due to the assumed unlikelihood of any sustained ad vance in prices under official government food control. After opening unchanged at S2.18 September, the market descended to $2.1 Subsequent rallies were relatively unim portant. The close was steady at $2.15 toepremner. CATH Oats weakened with corn.

(Furnished by the Topeka Hoard of Trade.) Minneapolis wheat stocks have decreased 125.000 bushels this week. Elevator stocks of wheat in Kansas f;lty have increased 32.205 bushels thus far this week and corn stocks decreased 1.903 bush els. Kxnorts from the T nited States and fan- ada vesterdny were 26.000 bushels of wheat, 8,000 barrels of flour, no corn, 413,000 bush els of oats; wheat and flour combiucd, 02, 000 bushels. Rxnorta of wheat and flour rrom tne United States and Canada this week, ac cording to Bradstreet's. were 2,TW.000 bushels, compared wild a.(Hxow onaneis last week and G.OiS,000 bushels a year ago. Corn shipments this week vrere 880,000 bushels. Au official renort from Arirentina say the wheat acreage is estimated at 17.5.S2, ooo bushels: and the prospective yield at 2:t!t.575.(M0 bushels oats, 2.S54.000 acres; vield, 8;s.02O,000 bushels.

Corn shipments this week were 150.000 Cushels. n cut nut 272.000 bush els last week and M.212.000 bushels a year ago. Total shipments since January i are 2',,X)2.000 bushels; n year ago 5.1,755,000 bupsheis. ats shipments this week were 20.1.000 bushels. Directors of the Kansas City board of trade late Thursday afternoon adopted a resolution prohibiting any more buying of corn for regular delivery on future con tracts, except close existing contracts. The action was taken because the trade is in danger of embaraaslng complications if dealing in futures Is permitted to continue under existing conditions. With a maxi mum price of S1.2.S, dealers in Texas and Oklahoma are buying corn for December and January shipment at prices ranging up to $1.50. It is said that some export sales have been' made on this basis by members willing to take a long chance. This situation makes it seem likely that no corn will be available for delivery on le- ppmhpr contract aud a fixed settlement iriee will have to be made ultimately. It ecame neosrrv either to ston new trad ing in futures or take off the maximum price. The Chicago board of trade was unwilling to do the latter, so the Kansas City directors decided to stop new trading. A petition was going around on 'change yesterday asking for a hearing before the directors on the questrbus of repealing Thursday's resolution. JOJ"EKA MARKET EPORT. Topeka Livestock Market.

The team member-; on whose heads .he ilntmh remains longest will win the contest. While the swimming contests are in progress the tennis finals for the city playground championship will be payed off. There are many real ten nis sharks among the boys who can show up many of their elders in the came. The fact that over 120 tennis balls and seventy-five tennis rackets hive been in 'onstant use over the city in the hands of youthful players on the twelve playground courts testi fies to their proficiency in the game. Many expert swimmers have been developed this season. Teaching boys and girls to swim lias been one of the chief aims of Elmer Bears, super visor of laygrounds. At noon evervone will enjoy an open air dinner, and after dinner the kids will go in swimming. Kvery boy and girl will bring his or her own dinner, and the members of each playground group will picnic together. A check stand will be provided for each group, where lunches can be checked in the morning. Parents are invited to at tend as the twenty-three playground directors-will have their hands full to manage their youthful charges.

Ripley comes sec ond with 741. The daily attendance at Ripley is 275. It is the best equipped and most favorably situated of the parks and has a fine pool for swimming. The city has furnished large quan tities of paraphernalia for the use of the youngsters. Tennis balls, racquets, croquet rets, three dozen regulation league baseballs, sewing equipment and materials for the girls are con tributed by the city. Last year bows and arrow? for archery practice and boxing gloves for pursuance of the manly art were supplied, but Super visor Bearg found that the arrows are dangerous when carelessly handled, and the glove matches often ended in slugging contests and bloody noses. No Serious Accidents. No serious accidents have occurred in the season. One broken arm is the extent of the casualty list. Variety has been afforded to the children's play by Miss Lulu McKee and Miss Wilson of the city library, who enter tain them with stories charmingly told. Harry I. Woods, Boy Scout director, has been active in organizing scout units among playground boys. He has taken groups of them for over night hikes, and has taken them to the Washburn observatory, where he is professor of astronomy, and let them look thru the big telescope. The summer on the playground, ac cording to Llmer Bearg. has given the children healthful exercise, the variety of sports has taught the proper use of the body, they have been constantly under the eyes of competent direc tors, and have acquired initiative and self reliance.

North Side News The NorthTopeka drainage board I has levied a tax of one mill upon ev ery tax payer in the North Topeka drainage district for the expense of estimated greneral work in the coming year. The tax will net the board about $5,200. An extensive drainage improvement campaign has been mapped out for the coming year. It is planned, ac cording to J. B. Billard. president of the board to improve the entire chan nel of Soldier creek in the district, cut out obstructions, and straighten the course of the stream. The nu merous sharp bends which obstruct the flow of the water, and form one of the chief causes of overflows in flood season will be removed as far as possible. The Godwin cut which was begun this spring and was left only partially complete will be finished before the spring rains, and two other cuts to shorten the channel will probable be made. The work will be under the charge of V. R. Parkhurst, North To peka engineer. It is believed that when the board's proposed program is complete Soldier creek, whose reputation as a -waterway is very shady indeed, will become a respectable stream, and tne danger from sudden overflows will be greatlv lessened. In its nine months" tenure of office the present drainage board has accomplished a remarkable amount) of work on Soldier, Indian creek, and the Kaw river for the im provement of the drainage district.

One hour and fifty-nine minutes from Kansas City to Topeka is the latest automobile sDeed rwnr.i it i claimed by William McQuistion of Kansas City. The record breaking trip was made in carrying the packet being sent over the Midland trail from Washington to California. B. P. Bartlett met McQuistion at Kansas City with a letter from Gov ernor Capper to be carried to the governor of California. The letter was placed in a' packet filled with dozens of such letters from mayors and other governors. Bartlett is authority fur the state ment that he and McQuistion left the Greenlease Motor Car company garage at Kansas city at 8 o"clock and ar rived at the Cadillac Sales garage in Topeka an hour and fifty-nine min utes later. Bartlett is further author ity for the statement that it took less than twenty seconds to take himself and the packet from the McQuistion car to a car driven by J. R. Cowdrey, dispatch bearer for the lap between Topeka and Manhattan. In less than twenty seconds after the McQuistion car had stopped, the Cowdrey car was tearing west on Sixth street. The trip to Manhattan was made in one hour and nineteen minutes, where an other car took the packet to Plains ville. Not more than five minutes elapse in changing cars. The purpose of the trip is to see how fast a message can be relayed across the country by means of motor cars, under .normal usual conditions.

"Copperheads" He Applies to Certain U. S. Senators Et Al. New York, Aug. 1 1. Eenouncing some senators, congressmen and news paper editors as "standing where the copperheads stood in the Civil war' Colonel Roosevelt today demanded suppression of the German language press, deportation of "50-50 Ameri cans' and called upon every man, woman and child in the country to exert every ounce of energy to -win the war. When asked concerning statements attributed to him by Dr. Kuno Meyer, Berlin professor, in Amsterdam dis patches. Roosevelt said Meyer was guilty of "gross impropriety" in quot ing him concerning compensation and indemnities a victorious Gerntany might collect. Here's W hat He Said. "Mr. Meyer's statement is substan tially correct, with this exception," said Roosevelt. "I did not say the Austro German victory would entitle them to compensation or indemnities, or to form a mid-European federation un der Germany's agency. What I said was that if Germany was victorious, she would undoubtedly exact the utmost limits of compensation and in demnity she could wring from all her adversaries, including the United States, and did say she would take them from the United States whether we went to war or not. Mr. Meyer and his wife called on me in May. 1916." Roosevelt said his conversation with Meyer occurred after he had spoken at Chicago and Detroit on the need for American preparedness in view of Germany sv hostile attitude. "What I said to him was what I said in these speeches so far as Ger many and the duty of this government is concerned," he asserted. Make Safe for America. "We are fighting for our nearest and dearest interests, to make the world safe for America. Until Amer ica shows her' ability to do that she should not talk about making the world safe for democracy. Now let every man, woman and child in this country strain every nerve so at the earliest possible moment our giant strength may be used to win the vic tory. Let us remember that pacifists and pro-Germans stand where the 'copperneads stood in the Civil war. This applies to some senators and con gressmen and newspaper editors. I hope congress immediately will pass a law refusing to allow any paper to be published in German or the language of any other of our opponents while the war lasts." FOR RILEY CATHOLICS Topeka Knights of Columbus to Su pciintctid Building for Soldiers. Consistent with a nationwide move ment in their order, the local Knights of Columbus, have appointed a com mittee which will superintend the erection of a building at Ft Riley in which the comfort and welfare of Catholic soldiers in the army may be cared for. The Knights of Columbus order has been of f icia lly designated as the agency of the Catholic church in the army, and the work planned will correspond to a similar type of work being carried on by the Y. C. A. among Protestants in the gov ernment service. A $1,000,000 fund is being raised by the order in the United States to pro vide for the erection and equipment of buildings 1n which any soldier in the service may be welcome, and his needs supplied. The fund will be raised principally in the order. The local committee consisting of Paul Huycke, Joseph Marsha n and E. L. Mooney, has selected a site in Camp Funston for the Ft. Riley build ing, and construction will commence in a short time. The Topeka appor tionment of the nationwide fund is being raised at the present time. The choosing of the Knights of Columbus as the official representa tive of the Catholic church- m the army is due largely to the effective work of this organization on the bor der, where with the Y. M. C. A. it did much to care for the moral and social welfare of soldiers. CITY OFFICIAL CHANGES Garrett's Salary .Red u c d Fired Painter Superintendent of Lights.

BEST MATERIAL IN STATE Great rains Taken in Selecting 3Ien for Commissions. All Will Go to Fort Sheridan, Illinois, for Training. Junction City, Kan., Aug. 11. An nouncement of the successful Kansas candidates for the second officers' training Camp has been made here by Oapt. I. P. Swift, and the list includes thirty-five men from Topeka. Offi cers believe they have gotten the cream of Kansas youth and manhood in this list and it is said a great 'ieal more pains were taken in selecting these men than were taken in pre rar ing fr the first camp. Xo men who did not measure up to the highest standard in every way were accented and for this reason some applicants who were looked upon as most desir- j able timber were turned down. The Kansas men who enter the .ec j ond camp will be sent to Fort BSeri i dan. 111., and they will undergo three I months of intensive training just as I the men in the first camp have done. On an average the men selected for mature than were those taken in the first camp and for this reason, it is said, higher ranks may he expected when the commissions are awarded them at the end of the training period. The Topeka men taken are all well qualified to make able and efficient officers anrl moat of them have been identified with the city's business life in an Important way.

Sherman teggit. a drill man of Bax ter Springs. Kan., is about the most enthusiastic booster of Ginseng Bit ters in the United States. Having been cured himself from a long seated stomach trouble, he is trying to give others relief. He purchased a case of the bitters to give away to others afflicted and he has reported progress. Here is what he says: "After I got such great, benefits from Ginseng Bitters, I concluded to help some others, mostly poor people who had stomach trouble. I gave you a testimonial for myself and said I intended to hlp others. I have four patients, three men and one woman, all of them above middle life. Three of them claim to be cured, and the other, a very old man, an old soldier, reports that he is much better.. I will bring him out all right by the time he takes another bottle. If you had an agent around "Baxter Springs he could sell bitters like hot cakes. It is tha only medicine I ever heard of which seems to reach every case of stomach trouble. The Chinese who have been using it for 6,000 years, as you state, are certainly onto their job. Let any one who reads this write to me or come to see me-. I will give Ginseng Bittera a great boost." Ginseng Bitters costs 11.00 per bot tle. Money refunded if it fails. Sold exclusively in Topeka by the Arnold i Drug company.

President Greatly Concerned Oyer Labor Disturbances. ALIEN INFLUENCES SUSPECTED Steps May Be Taken To Stop All Strikes. NEW $200,000 SANTA FE FILE AND RECORD BUILDING TO BE BUILT IN, JJ JQ JQPEKA It Is Believed Hoover Will Lower Food Prices. Washington, Aug. 11. A three-hour meeting of the cabinet Friday was confronted with these serious phases of the war situation: llussia. labor trouble rnd prices. Hush fa already has more fighting men than she knows what to do with. Yet Charles Edward Russell, of the Hoot mission, is not alone in his opin ion that our troops should go to stif fen the wavering Kussian ine. The cabinet was told today that there was distinguished opinion in the war col lege in favor of such a campaign. Yet the same difficulties which militate in a large extent to make the Kussian forces ineffective, operate against placing any effective force ot ours on the eastern front. These are the difficulties of transportation and subsistence. Russia's trans-Siberian railway is still only a single track line, choked already to strangulation bi such supplies as come from Japan and the eastern end of the new republic. Her rail line to the Arctic port was not completely connected up ot laM reports. These are the only ways in which our aid can reach Russia. And Russia, the cabinet was told in con vincing terms, desperately needs our id. 1 t Russia lias Supplies. Such advices as the I'nited .States has. are assuring regarding the Rus sian food and munition supply. 1 ne food in particular, however is scat tered and cannot be assembled, due to the lack of rail transportation. The one Consoling feature of this situation as it was pictured today, wsa that, even tho the German-Austrian drive to Odessa should be successful, Germany will find little grain there. FcUcf lv none has been gathered at this port since Russia entered the war. It is still scattered in the cribs of the PeThe"t8cahinet considered various methods of sending railway supplies and railway workers to Russia. It was even suggested that the engineer regiments now in training .""eht be HTd to better advantage in Russia than in Fiance and Belgium. Labor Problems at Home. Even more serious were the Prob lems of labor and prices which tne abinet discussed. The president was represented as deeply conce, ned over the labor problem. In the face of the pledge of Samuel Oompers and other leaders at the Outbreak of war S at strikes will be avoided, the pres ident heard of strikes and threats of strikes on government work and in private industry. He, himself is hope Fu that the work of Herbert Hoover, now the food dictator, with official power, will lower the cost of livra and remove what he considers the chief cause of labor unrest, ilembeis ot his cabinet today, however, urged that more stringent methods be adt.pt J labor troubles. They want the compulsory arbitration pol icy adopted by the council of national defense immediately and rigidly ap- ,t ....hunt xi-or-lr ThPV plied to an suveiumf" 7Cj would like to see an analogous method devised for the maintenance of private industry without interruption. It was noted that Attorney General Gregorv and Secretary of Labor Wil son with Secretary Rediield of the commerce department, were among the last of the president's advisers to leave the meeting. It Is believed that the piesident consulted them about the possibility of alien influences back of some of the labor disturbances and the possibility of proceeding against the disturbers. Issue fall to Labor. There w-s an almost unanimous opinion among cabinet ofllcers that the president at this time should issue a call to labor similar to the call he made upon business. The spli upon the question of prices divided the cabinet sharply over the extent to which the government should gt :n interfering with .private enterprise. Secretaries Houston, Burleson and Lane are known to be lieve that the government must put some faith in the fairness and patri otism of business men, big and little. They believe that the government can not successfully take over any large business interest. Secretaries Baker and Daniels, on the other hand, backed by Mr. McAdoo. insist that all costs should be determined and prices set upon a strict cost plus fair profit basis, irrespective of whether private owners are ruined, or not.

For years asphaltic concrete j paving in cities was looked upon as a luxury oi me weaiiny resiaents. The discoverers of the mixture had it patented and placed their own price on the article, it was known as ar- the Sammies send-off one that would be long remembered in every district.

Later A. R. Young became city engineer and he continued with the work. Finally, a mixture suitable for such paving as was desired was prepared. It brought the cost of asphaltic concrete paving down to $1.39 per square yard. Famous Over Night. The Topeka mixture became famous among contractors over night, so to speak. It also became mighty in famous and unpopular with the bitu lithic people. They brought, suit against Topeka for infringing on their patent They lost their suit.

A man's shoe a comparatively new low shoe of a stylish last, was found in the parking:' near that corner early this morning by one William White. It's a left shoe in every sense of the word. The man who found it looked all around for other evidence of some thing he knew not what. Not finding it he took the shoe to the police sta tion and turned it in. The owner may have it by calling and ldentiry ine it. Just how a man can lose one shoe and not know it is more than the po lice can understand. And if he knew it. what had he done and what was his hurry. The conclusion reached is that the man must simply nave run out of his shoe and been in such a rush that he didn't stop for it.

Ohio Doctor Urges Repair Shop To Make Them Fit. New Vork, Aug. 11. Ninety per cent of the men rejected by the mili tary authorities for physical disabil ities1 can be reclaimed for the service of the country, according to Dr. John H. Quayle of Cleveland, O., author of the bill introduced in the senate yes terday by Senator Pomerene looking to that end. Doctor Quayle was in conference here today with several prominent New York men who are interested in the project. Senator Pomerene's bill provides for the ap propriation of $100, 000,000 to be used to establish and maintain reclamation camps thruout the country as adjuncts to the regular training camps. Doctor Quayle first became inter ested in his plan when men who had been refused for military service were sent to him for re-examination. He said many of their defects were of such a minor character as to be easily corrected and the men thereby re claimed for military duty. Minor dis eases of the eye, ear and skin and de fects of the feet. Doctor Quayle said, could be cured in the majority of in stances in two or three months. FORM JEW BRIGADE Orerauize Volunteers In X.

THE KAISER IN THE MAKING In the gymnasruin at Cassel the German Kaiser spent three years of his boyhood, a diligent but not a brilliant. pupil, ranking tenth among seventeen candidates for the university. Many tales are told of this period of his life, and one of them, at least, is illuminating. A professor, it is said, wishing to curry favor with his royal pupil, informed him overnight of the chapter in Greek that was to be made the subject of the next day's lesson. The young prince did what many boys would not In ve done. As soon as the class room was opened on the follow ing morning, he entered and wrote conspicuously on the blackboard the inforniation that had been given him. One may say unhesitatingly that a boy capable of such an action, has the root of a fine character in him, possesses that chivalrous sense of fair play which is the nearest thing to a religion that may be looked for at that age, hates meanness and favoritism, and will -wherever possible expose them. There is in him a fundamental bent 'toward what is clean, manly and aboveboard. 1 census 9 2 bequeath .10 3 foreign 11 4 which 12 5 Delaware 13 6 disguised 14 7 vehicle 15 8 peninsula 16 guarantee sorcery peaceably European antique artillery The offensive page in the Chicago speller. The Chicago school board has decided to eliminate forty pages from 70,000 spellers now in the hands of the board and have the books rebound. Among the pages is one eulogizing the German emperor entitled "Kaiser in the Making." He is compared with the greatest of modem men There are 130,000 of the same spellers in the hands of the school children. The board refused to issue an order to teachers or children to tear the kaiser the supply of those mentioning de pendent families was exhausted at noon today. Can't Get More Papers. "What'll we do?" asked Boyd Pol lom, one of the members of the board. "We can't do anything," replied Dr. T. C. Biddle. "We can't et any more of those papers. If those who pass the examination continue to want ex emptions I don't see anything to it but to require them to prepare their own papers." Four men examined today were dis charged because of physical disabili ties. Five were accepted and did not claim exemptions. Seventeen passed the examination, were accepted and immediately claimed exemption. One hundred and twenty-seven men have been examined by the board to date with a total of 28 soldiers.

Herbert Hoover, official rood administrator, to day began to drive out of business wholesale food gamblers who gouge the American public. At the outset, however. Hoover made it clear that: He will not attempt to dictate retail food prices. He cannot promise to reduce the i high cost of living to America's com moners, tho he will try.,- While anticipating that the major ity of American business men will deal fairly and intelligently. Hoover an nounced his intent to apply to the full drastic coercive powers, granted by congress, should any one "exploit this hour of sacrifice." Feed America BHrst. Hoover's plans for feeding America and her allies and at the same time lowering American costs, are construc tive. He proposes to eliminate waste in United States kitchens, to oust gamblers and to teach this nation to substitute some foods for the staples. He will not dictate retail prices, but he does intend to so adjust economic conditions as to bring down the high cost of living. He cannot promise this, however. He would have each American re duce his wheat consumption one pound a week, his meat-and sugar seven ounces, thus releasing a vast store for use abroad. (amblers Make Prices High. Reduction of prices will come about. Hoover said, by eliminating the gamblers and by stabilizing conditions. "We believe we can make exorbit ant retail prices come tumbling by eliminating middle men and controll ing wholesale prices," he said. "With these two things accomplish ed, we can face the grab-it-all reta'ler with an argument he can answer only by reducing prices. "We must so guide the trade in the fundamental food commodities as to eliminate vicious speculation, extor tion and wasteful practices and to stabilize prices of the essentials. Then we must guard our exports to the end that we shall have enough. food our selves in case of a world shortage, and lastly, we must save In every way possible." FARMERS AGAINST DRAFT Protest Meeting Are Held In Itural IHstricts. Near Parsons, Kan. Parsons, Kan., Aug. 11. Protest against the draft has assumed defin ite form in Labette county in the last few days. Two meetings have been held in country scviool houses .near Parsons, at which farmers declared they did not believe the federal gov ernment has a legal right to force them into military service The first meeting was held at the Pleasant Hill school, seven miles southwest of here. More than 100 farmers attended. The second meet ing was held last night at Montana, a station on the M., K. T. railroad ten miles southeast of Parsons. One hun dred and fifty farmers, with a num ber of Parsons citizens, attended this meeting, at which petitions were pre pared calling on congress to abolish the draft and demanding relief from a law which the signers asserted they believed unconstitutional. E. L.. Burton, a widely known attor ney in southeastern Kansas, whos home is in this city, addressed the meeting and volunteered to act as counsel to any of the signers who might get into trouble with the federal authorities.

Many Mound Men Win Fame as Fly Chasers.. BY JACK VKIOCK. New Tork, Aug. 11. Davey Rob ertson, Olant outfielder, might have been a big league pitcher to-day had it not been for an injury he received playing football. Davey was the crack pitcher of the North Carolina A. M. College In 1310 and 1911. He also played foot ball on the varsity eleven, and as the result of Injuries received on the grid iron his pitching shoulder was not as good as before. But still he continued as a pitcher with an independent team at Elizabeth City, and he was picked up by the Giants and given the up and down by McGraw. The Olant leader decided that Rob ertson was not capable of pitching in the big show and eventually he drifted to Mobile, where he became an out fielder. It was at Mobile that Rob ertson made his mark as a fly chaser and when he returned to the Giants as an outfielder he promptly made good. Many Pitcher-Fielders. The reason that Robertson did not become a pitcher Is probably an un usual one, but without a doubt he Is better off where he plays to-day. Robertson is by no means the only big league outfielder who started out as a pitcher. Most youngsters who start playing baseball want to be pitchers and gradually drift to some other position. Few of the many continue pitching until they finally land in the major leagues and few of the sand lot phenoms who start out to be twirlers stick to the mound long enough to enter the bush leagues as pitchers. Three National league stars of to day who are holding down outfield Jobs started out as pitchers. Eddie Rousch, of the Reds, signed with the Kvansville clnb in 1912 as a pitcher, but was soon switched to the outfield and has remained there ever since. Kauff Was a Pitcher. Benny Kauff, centerfielder for Mc Graw, pitched and played the outfield for Parkersburg in 1910, and went thru the season of 1912 as a pitcher for Brockton, Mass. Benny says he always wanted to be a pitcher from the time he left the coal mines in Ohio to make his fortune In the grand old game, bt Boon found out that he could advance faster as a fielder, and took np bis place in the outer gar dens. It is a coincidence, perhaps, that along with Robertson and Kauff, George Burns, the third member of the Giant outfield, aspired to be a pitcher, but was utilized in the minor leagues as a catcher with Utica in 1909 and shifted to the outfield by that club the following year. Dave Griffith, team-mate of Eddie Rousch, pitched minor league base ball for four years, starting-in 1909 with New Bedford. He took up out fielding in 1913. Sam Rice, now an outfielder with the Washington club, pitched for Petersburg in 1914 and went to Washington as a pitcher. ALL SET FOR THIS SEASON Western League, However, Will Make Some Changes for 1918. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11. B. W. Dickerson, president of the Western League, asked here whether the league would finish the season with its present lineup, answered in the affirmative, but added noncommittally there "probably would be a move next season." In Western League circles Denver is picked as the team to be "moved" as the result of poor attendance and thee xpense of the long jump from other cities. Rumors have had it that a Western League team would go to Oklahoma next year. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Philadelphia (at Pittsburg) 0 9 2 Pittsburg 1 4 0 ftixey ana i.u liter; cooper and Scnmidt.

Cobb outguesses the enemy pitcher and picks out the good balls. He is cool headed and patient at the plate and swings his bat with tremendous power. Many pitchers have learned to fear Cobb, no matter how easily they can dispose of other capable hit ters. He has the Indian sign on them and confidence should be his middle name. Another excellent reason for Cobb's supremacy with the stick is fast running. He is so fleet-footed that he beats rtit many infield grounders on which. .slower runners would be retired at first base.

The shotgrun that fits makes for bet ter scores at the traps and for fewer misses in. the field. Trap and field shots have awakened to this fact only in the past few years Not one of the high-class trapshots of today goes to the traps without a gun that has been built to fit him! You can't expect a track athlete to give a good performance if his spiked shoes are too large or too small, nor a socker player to show- his best in street attire nor a golfer to do excel lent work unless he has the proper tools, so why shouldn't a shooter go to the traps or go. hunting in the field with a gun that is made for him? In the past trapshooters have been more or less careless in purchasing a gun. Anything would do but they have realized the error, and now they areieing fitted for a gun just like ou get fitted for a suit of clothing. And it must fit just as well as the clothing to get results. One of the leading ammunition ctm -panies of the United States will have six of its best professional trapshoot ers at the Grand American Hand cap in Chicago, 111., during the week of August 20 with try guns to measure any one who feels that his old gun doesn't fit, or persons who are inclined to purchase a new gun. t These gun tailors are Jack Fanning, of New York; Lester German, of Aber deen, Md. Del Gross, of Kansas City, Mo.; C. O. Le Compte, of Asheville, N. C; Art. Killam, of St. Louis, Mo., and Guy E. Holman, of .Los Angeles, Cal. These men will be equipped with try guns, a device Invented for ascertain ing the right size shotgun one should use, and will be at the beck and call of contestants and visitors during the period of the tournament and without expense to those seeking advice. They will be on the ground to aid shooters their idea being to help every one to make better scores, and they feel that this can only be accomplished by ev ery one using a scatters un that fits.

EDDYTORIUL ON "AMBISH v UN." -i Tother day we happend to meet Jed Peters on the St. As evrybud- dy knows Jed is our intelligent teetcher of the Bingville school who durink his vacashion is in the book agt bizness and is trying to sell a book entiteld "The Lifes of Our Presvdents." Jed tride to sell us a copy of this book and made a purty slick talk but we finally managed to argy him out of sellin us a coppy. Then the talk turnd to other top icks and we happend to make the remarks as to how hard put to it we was for a subjeck to dash off a eddytoriul for this wks ishue when all to onct Jed up and askd us it we had ever wrote a eddytoriul ibout "Ambishun." We skratchd our head and thort ind thort and then we replide to Jed that while we had wrote ed iytoriuls on about every subjeck inder the sun we diddent beleeve we had ever techd on the subjeck of "Ambishun" and the more we thort it over the more we become convincd that this would be a good Tubjeck to write about so here goes: For the benefit of some of the tiore ignorunter of our subscribers nraps we ort to explain that "Am bishun" is somethink whitch makes a person dig in tooth and nail to make a sucksess of their self. Without "Ambishun" no huddv amounts to a hill of beans. In other words "Ambishun" is somethink inside of you that urges vou to clime the ladder of suck sess where there is plenty of room at the top even if it is a hard clime md the rungs is greesed and you lip back all the time 3'oure climin. That's "Ambishun." We persoom speakin by and large that "Ambishun" is some think that Bingville folks donr know nothink mutch about judg ing from how they fritter away their time. If there was more "Ambishun" in this town there would be a good mennv more of our most respeckted cittizens with munny in their pockets instid ot patches on the buzzums of their trousers and skeercely enuff to pay their taxes. Folks that is ambishus dont set around in the shade all summer ind congergate in Hen Weathers- V V il JL-J JLU Copyrighted. 1917, b; E. !vs store all winter long a settin around the stove playin chekkers or discussin the current topicks of Ihe day incloodink how this guv vernment ort to be run that aint 'Ambishun" thats pure sheer la zyness thats whot it is. Of course there is sitch a thing as a person havink too blamv d mutch "Ambishun" but there -;int no liklvhood of ennvbuddy in 'no-ville being afflickted thataway as fur as we can see at the present time. Histrv tells us that Alexan 1er the Grate, (whoever he was) had more "Ambushun" that he knowd whot. to. do with and you ort to know whot happend to Al exander or; at least you ort to 'en"-" whether vou do or not. Nappolyun -was another feller who had more. "Ambishun" than was good for him and what was the result, we ask? Read histry and find out, 'we anser? In other words "Ambishun" is a good thing if a person has jest the right ami of it. but if vou aint i-ot enuff or if vou have to mutch vourse worse offen if you diddent 'iave enny. This is about all we think of .,1f,rjnP cnr,crr)-lns, "Ambish un. if LoW Breefs We are rite-now in whot we mite eatl the thick of the -sticky season.

THEY FELL IN SAND PILE Soft landing Saved Two Uvea in Auto Accident In Topeka. Joseph Sandler and Max Stone, both of Kansas City, were injured about 7 o'clock Friday evening when the Ford they were driving struck the side of a Santa Fe train at the Fifteenth street crossing.

CoL Tyree Rivers.' camp commandant, in a talk to the graduates of the officers' training camp who will receive their commissions in a few days, gave the young men one of the most interesting hours of instruction they have receiv ed during their three months' training Friday afternoon when he lectured them on the duties, of handling men successfully. The students were massed in a body in the hall, and Colonel Rivers, from his stand on a tool box. talked to them. There was never a more quiet audience in the world. Each student seemed to realize what little he knew of the gigantic task that was before him. and each seemed to absorb the words of wisdom as they came from the years experience gained in the field by Colonel Rivers. "Now let me advise you that mere rank never made a man," he said. "In creasing rank- broadens a man's op portunities for good or eyl, but it does not change him' fundamentally. Remember that it is up to you to Jus tify your rank, to show that you are worthy of it, and the higher the grade you attain the more you will have to Justify yourself and show that success does not turn your head and that you are worthy of the honor bestowed upon you. A Plea for Chivalry. "To enable one to take a worthy part in this great world conflict, all the good qualities of human nature must be brought into place; it takes patience, self control, self reliance, physical endurance, bravery, courage, fortitude. These are the gradations of the same quality, though I think fortitude, the resolute strength of mind in meeting danger, is the quality most necessary in the slow trench war fare of today. There ia another qual ity which, if we can believe published accounts, has been sadly lucking on one side of this struggle, that we must attempt to re-introduce, and that is chivalry, consideration of and protec tion for the weak and helpless, how ever much our enemy." Colonel Rivers called his talk "Loy alty and Discipline." The right kind of discipline reproduces loyalty, he said, and these were two most impor tant things in the army. Without loy alty and discipline an army was noth ing, and with it, everything. Need Self Discipline. "By discipline I do not mean simply a training to act in accordance with rule." he continued. "I mean also self discipline; that mental and moral training that not only enables one to act, to act intelligently according to rule, but also enables him to incul cate the same principles In others. No man rules safely but he who is will ingly ruled; no man commands but he who has learned to obey. By loy alty I mean something more than fidelity to duty .or constancy. I mean fidelity plus love. The conformity of our actions to our engagements, whether express or Implied, is fidel ity. Thus a subject is faithful to the engagement that binds him to the head of the state.
