C, for mer Topekan. now in Kansas.) A scuffling shuffle of feet came up thr. road. 'Augen Rechts" the sharp command rang out and awakened me from the dream I was ln. I turned to see a company of figures dressed in green uniform, marching by. The P. G." stenciled on their backs with white paint indicated their status as German prisoners of war. Each head was turned in my direction and in ad vance of the column stiffly walked i young man in the uniform of an offi cer. He marched at the salute. It was he who had given the command. It was unusual for the German officers to call upon the men in their charge to give honors to American officers, but this one as he passed slowly and with much gravity, winked one eye. That wink made me curious so I inquired about him. July, 1914, he had been a sergeant in the United States army. In August the same year, he was listed as a de- serter from that same force of men. j He was captured on the Somme, early in 1917 and here he was acting as a straw boss for the French. Of course he had a blue clad and rifle armed sentry to see to it that there was no t foolishness. Every morning at six I o'clock he routs out his men and sees I to it that they eat. Then he takes them to their work. Should anything go wrong he would be the one pun ished. Were he not a prisoner of war, he would be arrested for desertion from thj U. S. army. No wonder he winked. I had gone to the French hosnitnl to see some of the men of my battery who were being eared for there and was waiting the return of an orderly I frohi the commandant. The door opened and in came a French sentry with a German prisoner who needed some sort of treatment. The prisoner hardly looked at me but as soon as i the sentry had left him and one into i the office with his papers, the fice of t the German brightened and turning he i said in very good .English: i "What part of the United States are you from t I told him.

Considering Relations With ..Russia Broken, Poor. Ruse. JAPS DENY AGGRANDIZEMENT Claims She Merely Asked Allies for an Opinion. Declares German Menace in Far East Already Affects Her. BY J. W. T. MASON. New York, March 2. Japan shows evidence of trying to rush the allies into a quick assent to her proposal for invading Siberia on an undefined mission. Today's United Press dispatch from Tokio announcing that official circles interpret the withdrawal of the diplo matic corps from Petrograd as tanta mount to breaking diplomatic rela tions, indicates that Japan wants to go to war with Russia, instead of try ing to end Russia's difficulties. Only for the purpose of serving an ulterior design can the departure of the allies' diplomats from Petrograd be made to imply a diplomatic break with Russia. Nobody suggested when the French government moved from Paris to Bordeaux that a similar mi gration by the allied diplomatic corps would mean a diplomatic break by the allies with France. Is Secret Diplomacy at Work? Seemingly the only reason Japanese officials can have for taking this strange attitude toward events in Petrograd appears to be a wish on the part of these officials to regard Russia as a formal enemy. The exist ence of this desire in Tokio is a mat ter for serious consideration. If Japan sends a military expedition into f iberia- il ?nPl b c,almed at some. known to have belligerent desires to- ward the Russians. It is impossible to avoid an uneasy feeling that the olu style secret diplo macy may again be at work in the far east, incited by the apparent ease with which territorial spoils can be secured. No action by any of the allies in Russia ought to be taken as the re sult of a secret agreement. The time to start the new open diplomacy at work is now. Motive Not Territorial Greed! Lond: r., Match 2. Reuter's Lim ited has issued the fallowing state ment Lrom an authoritative Japanese source in London: Japar has put forward no sugges tions regarding any action that may be necessary as a result! of the Rus sian situation. The plain facts are that a few days ago Japan addressed inquiries to the allied governments asking an expression of thei views on the latest developments in Russia. There nas been no proposal, military or otheiwise, fcy .Japan. "It is pointed out that Japan did no, enter the war under any terms or agreements with the allies which vould suggest that there had beer, any qu tion of aggrandizement in the mind of Japan. There was no such thought wnen Japan embarked on liu ugn: wnen japan emoarKra on hostilities and if she hast to extend op- eration:. her object will not be ag grandizement.

Japan's interpretation of her position is that she if. responsible for the maintenance cf peace and security in tie Far East.

His contented study of the beautiful moonlight was inter rupted by the passing flit of a girl who, by painted cheeks, penciled eye-b.-ows and other things caused Lari mer to suspect her to be what, in tho parlance of police court, is known as a "soiled angel."

The dead were found in the American trenches and many enemy bodies were scat tered over No Man's Land. An American captain, a West Point graduate of 1917, was killed in a gal lant exploit. When the Germans reached the American position he led :a party out in front of the wire en tanglements and attacked the enemy from the rear as they retreated.

Bull dog staying qualities stood the Americans in good stead when they beat off 240 specially trained Teuton raiders and left a considerable number of mangled Germans sprawled across No Man's Land. While our forces suffered casualties they apparently .were far less severe than the Ger mans and evidently no prisoners ex cept Germans were taken. Trying Ont All Her Tricks. Germany is trying out all the tricks in the l.ag, army men said, using the same tactics always employed against green troops. The boche is apparently emphasiz ing the .use of gas. Tho stamina and steadiness of the Sammies speaks well for their train ing and their courage, officers sug gested. Artillery fire on both sides was evi dently of unusual severity, the Ameri can barrage catching many of the raiders. They were apparently sur prised at the stiff defense put forth ftfjainst them and some of the Ger mans had no chance with the scrappy Yankees who used bayonets and fists when the fighting was very close. Early today the list of American casualties in the fighting had not yet ;come in at the war department. y KE1LMANN TELLS (Continued from Page One. Guess it is because I didn't have any sense.

The chief reason was that the restrictions did not apply directly to corn any more than had been the case for some time. Liquidation of oats holdings reached a big total.

Interior Provinces Shout for "Either Victory or Death." Vologna, Russia, Friday, March 1. An example of the tendency being shown in interior Russia to follow the example of Moscow and declare against a separate peace with Germany and for a fight to the limit of the revolution is furnished by the action of the council of soldiers' and work men's delegates at Pensea, some 350 mlies southeast of Moscow. This council has declined to approve the signing of a peace treaty with the central powers and has declared for a Holy war. The council at Narva by a vote of 40 to 18 called for general mobilization and against a separate peace. Provinces Mobilize for Battle. General m obilization orders have been issued in Kazan province. In these orders all the Soviets are urged to fight Germany to the bitter end. Similar action has been taken by the councils at Voronezh, in south central Russia, and in other cities.

Immediately following his retire ment from the county court bench. Judge Garver was made first assis tant county attorney. Altho Judge Garver is a Republican, he was ap pointed as an assistant in the office of County Attorney W. E. Atchison, a Democrat. Judge Garver assisted in the prosecution of state cases until the retirement of Atchison in January, 1917, at the end of two terms. And Judge Garver, who had won the Re publican nomination over Capt.

Should Judge Garver fail to succeed himself, he will retire from the office in November this year as soon as his successor is elected and qualified.

America Believes Russians Would Join Germans Against Japs. BY CARL D. GROAT. Washington, March 2. America's decision as to Japanese or joint al lied intervention in Siberia remains today one of the deepest international puzzles of recent months. A high cabinet member suggested that the United States will not object to Japan going is "in self-defense," but that this country will not join. Speculation ran to confirmation of his view but the state department was still silent early today. Other sources close to the president suggested that the problem presented one of the most delicate questions this government has had to meet. Some officials frankly doubted that the situation thus far is such as to re quire Japan's entrance. Russian Derense Stronger. In this connection they pointed out that Russian resistance is stiffening and that German penetration to Siberia is next to impossible.' As for Germans in Siberia, they have not con stituted a real menace yet, and the supplies at Vladivostok are apparently i in no extreme danger for the moment. i More important, in the opinion of j those opposed, is the fact that permis i sion to Japan would mean the en I trance of an autocracy into Russia's I eastern gateway while another autoc racy overran her from the west. And, thos authorities said, it is quite conceivable that once Japan had a foothold in Siberia she would be loath to relinquish it. Her entrance, it was- suggested, might cause many of the Russians to go over to the Germans to fight the former enemy, while in any event the e- try might be open to misinterpreta tion in many quarters as an auto cratic invasion. No Aggressions Against Slavs. On the other hand, those favoring the ste: said Japan as an ally ought to be accorded full trust and yiat she should be backed up in the interven tion on the ground thai her interests in .'ie East had to be protected, while at the same time no aggression would bo attempted against the Russians. The allies apparently are quite fa vorable to action, presumably with Japan playing a lone hand. Some of the allied feeling is that Russia de serves no consideration at allied or American hands. This spirit, how ever, conflicts with the American idea of encouraging the Russians, particu larly as they now shot- some tendency to hold off the Teuton. Look fo New Slav Leader. The German grasp on Russia is considered as distinctly a menace to world peace as her mitteleuropa idea or her control ol Alsace-Lorraine and it is argued that anything that will tend to thwart the German without harming the Russian is worth trying. The apparent breaking off of Russo German peace negotiations squares with the recent diplomatic advices of the American government which said that ultimately a real rignung line would be formed and a new leader will arise to head the Slavs. Rumania too is now inclined to resent imposi tion of any unfair German peace terms. The American position, it is now believed will not be withheld. Con sultations between Colonel House, Lord Reading, Secretary Lansing and the president have apparently served to clear the atmosphere, tho it left a difficult problem for the president to solve. Japan is anxious to be up and at y the task and is pressing for" &t answer. Some authorities suggests she has merely taken a diplomatic way of letting the allies know that the intends to act in any event. $300 A MONTH GRAFT Army General Admits Agreement Manufacturer's Agents Arrested.

The Lipperts were arrested last night after a raid on their offices un der a federal search and seizure war rai.t asked for by Capt. Melvin B. Er-cson of the United States army intelligence bureau. In his statement before Commissioner Mason asking fo. the warrant it was charged by Captain Ericson that General Cruse had admitted to him in Washington that in January he had received $1,500 from the elder Lippert and that an agreement had been entered into by which Lippert was to pay him $300 a month. No estimate was given of the ajrnount involved in the charges that the government has been defrauded. Tne contracts handled by the Lipperts were mostly for woolen blankets. SAYS HE HIRED GEN. CRUSE.

SHERIFF PLAYS (Continued from Page One.) reasonable care was used and the po lice and other officials "would not Dotner anything Girls From Kansas City. No warrants were issued for the grrls or the hotel employes. The girls told their story after Larimer had told them that the officials were "after the house more than the girls." Both the girls were at the court house this morning. They said they had arrived not long; ago from Kansas City. Larimer asserted that he was placed Friday night in a' room across the hail from a girl after he had made the re quest from the clerk. The clerk, he says, made arrangements for the girl to come to his room. Both the girls are pretty, or at least, more so than the average of the underwor.d. They wear fashionable clothes and, again to use police court parlance, appear to be "high class." According to Garver, the affair Friday night does not con stitute' the first time the Roam has been under suspicion. The county at torney exhibited affidavits made by two other girls who said they had "worked" at the place One of the affidavits was made in December, 1917, and the other in February. 1917. Larimer says he warned Reichley some time ago about allowing ques tionable women in the hotel. This, the sheriff says, was done after he had "heard reports about the p!ace." Both the night clerk and the bell boy are under bond of $100 each to appear as witnesses when the case comes up for heaxinfe' Friday. Women Can't Stop Here. Women whose names are so often connected with wine and who have cheeks of chalk have no place 'in. To peka, it was asserted today by Judge Paul Heinz of police court. Judge Heinz, so to speak, delivered an ulti matum to the effect that these women could either be content with perrr.c .nent residence in jail or leave the city. "Women of questionable character who refuse to leave the city will in this court be given the maximum sen tence of 100 days in jail and t30 fine which is equivalent to 130 days in jail if the fine is not paid," said Judge Heinz. "In my court no paroles will be issued to such women. Other measures will be taken to see that they are kept out of town or in con finement." Law Is Out of Date. "We are going after 'these women after the strong arm plan," Mayor House said today. "We are not fol lowing the lines laid down by the law, because those methods are not ade quate. The police have instructions to hring in any women that they know or suspect to be a street walker. Then it is up to the women to prove their innocence not up to the city to prove their guilt. "It is the biggest problem on earth to make the crooked straight, when the crooked don't want to be straight," the mayor continued. "We can punish the women, but we can't punish the men. They are out of our bailiwick. Neither the men concerned nor the women concerned want to walk the straight and narrow."

Much will have to be changed in Austria, but if the un happy peoples must continue to be bled until a final solution has been found, we can only exclaim 'Unhappy humanity.

Journal: Cotton Price, curiously enough, hardly bent under the Texas rains. The tendency to advance no doubt, was in some degree restrained. Yet after all prices did advance on the reports of erood rains in Texas. In ordi- I nary circumstances undoubtedly such re pons wouia tfiave caused a sharp decline. The fact that they did not was regarded by the dealers in still higher prices as eloquent testimony to the validity of their argument.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1918 V 1 t I f MEN QUIT JOBS Billard Denies Teamsters Were Fired Because of Union. They Wanted More Money and Shorter Honrs. PROMISED A SUMMER RAISE Mutual Ice Company Manager Explains Labor Trouble. He Says Dictation of Men Will Force Higher Prices. "It was simply a case where we could not agree on hours and wages," asserted Robert Billard. manager of the Mutual Ice company this morning, when questioned in regard to a re ported teamster strike at the Mutual plant. "The men quit of their own ac cord." According to a story credited to one of the teamsters, ten men "got fired for joining the teamsters' union." Billard llatly denied this statement. "It was said I fired all union men," declared Billard. "One of the best men I have on the job right now is a member of the teamsters union, i expect to keep this man. It would indicate that the trouble was not a union movement but was simply a whim of the men." Billard said that the Mutual Ice company employed between 80 and lot) men all of the time, and he de clared that the quitting of the ten men would not interfere with the reg ular deliveries of ice to the people. Bil lard is of the opinion that the so called strike of the ten men started some time ago when one man partook too freely of the Kansas brand of fire water, and got the idea that he should quit. In a statement issued this morning Billard goes into the his tory o the "strike" as he sees it. Drunken Man Started It. "It all started some time ago when one of the men had been drinking some kind of vile stuff and as a re sult got rather wild," is Billard's story of the affair. "The man said that he was going to quit, but I induced him to stay. He told me that he was going to turn in his tongs and I sent him home to sober up. When he came back to work this man began to criti cize the management of the company and to find fault with the company s methods of doing business. He got to talking among the other men. and some of them joined the union last Sunday. I heard in advance that trouble was brewing among some ot the men, and was expecting to be called on by a delegation. "I knew that the delegation was coing t demand higher wages and shorter hours." declared Billard, and I knew 'hat the hours they were go-in- to utmand were too short for the proper conduct of the ice business in the summer. What the men wanted was. in addition to the shorter hours, one anti one-half time for overtime on week (lavs and double pay on Sundays. I trankiy told the boys that I could no' meet those demands." Trying; to Keep Down Prices. In explaining his stand in this mat te. BilUid said that his ice company is making every effort to keep the price of ice from advancing but that if his help is allowed to dictate what wages he shall pay and how often they ar? to get a raise it will become necessary to advance the price and th- consumers will have to pay. He said no plans have been made for ad-ai-cing prices this summer and that noi.e an- contemplated, but that plac ing his plant under teamsters' union dictation or any other outside dicta tion w uld certainly force the com pany to take some action. Billard stated that the Mutual Ice companv "voluntarily increased the pay of i he men three times last sum mer." ar.d stated that he told the men their pay would be increased again thi- coming summer. "I promised them that just as soon as the weather opened up the rate of pay would be increased, the same as last year and I also told them that I was not going to have either them or the teamsters" union dictate what wages I should pay," Billard said. Men Talked It Over. -"The men called on me about 4 o'clock in the afternoon," said Bil lard. "I listened to them and then told them to go out and talk it over. About 5 o'clock the men came back into the office. One of them said, 'I have decided to keep my card.' 'You mean you are going to quit?' I asked him. "The man answered 'yes. "I then asked him if he wanted his time and he said 'yes' to that, so I had the bookkeeper make out his check. "I questioned one or two of the other men singly, with the same re sults. Then I asked them collectively if that was what they wanted. They all said 'yes.' "All of the men got their checks because they asked for them," declared Billard, "and not because they were diseharged. Two of the men who quit were non-union men." Card of Thanks.

FEW METAL MINES OF OWN Lorraine Iron Basin Has Main tained Germany Military. Without This Huns Would Have Met Quick Defeat. BY HENRY WOOD. With the French Armies in the Fit Id, March 2. German "big busi ness" is still backing the German gov ernment and the German military command in its policy of annexation and domination. German "big business" is already building for future wars. No later than December, 1917, the Association of German Manufacturers of Iron and Steel and the Association of German Metallurgists, with head quarters at Berlin and Dusseldorff, addressed a "rigorously confidential" memorial both to the German govern ment and the imperial German mili tary command, demanding the forcible annexation of the French iron basin of Briey and Longwy, because of "its extreme importance fo- German na tional economy and for the conduct of future wars." Spirit of Conquest Remains. A copy of this "rigorously confi dential" memorial has just come into the hands of the French military authorities. It constitutes the most damning evi dence that after three and a half years of warfare, German "big busi ness," the German government, the German military party and apparently the German people themselves, l e main absolutely unchanged in their desire and determination for domina tion and conquest. French Mines Maintain Germany. The importance of the Lorraine iron basin (in the conduct of future wars) is the concluding argument of the en tire memorial for forcible annexation of this strip of French territory: The memorial frankly states that: "If, with the outbreak of hostilities in 191 1, the French had destroyed their own iron mines of the Briey and Longwy basins, which later fell into the hands of the Germans, and at the same time with their long range guns destroyed the iron mines on the Ger man side of the Lorraine frontier, the war could not have lasted more than a few months." Eqra:ly frank admission is made that it is only with the iron secured from the occupied mines of French Lorraine that the Germans in 1917 were able to meet the needs of their artillery. Under the second heading, that re gard for the future imposes on the Germans the absolute necessity of extending their Lorraine frontier until it includes all of the French iron basin, the declaration is made that France, having overlooked the possi bility in 1914 of quickly terminating the war by destroying Germany's iron sources, she would never make the same mistake again. As a conse quence, it declares that the Lorraine frontier must be extended to a point where 't not only gives Germany all the Lorraine iron basin, but places this eve- outside the range of French heaw artillery. Only in this way can France be prevented from checking Germany's future wars. German Mines Face Exhaustion. Leading German mineral authori ties are then quoted td show that within forty or fifty years Germany's iron mines will be completely exhaust ed. As a consequence the memorial urges: "Let no one believe that Germany in peace time will be able to assure herself iron reserves for a future war. And let no one dare to pretend on his own responsibility that such iron re serves would be sufficient. "During the first forty months of this waY. Germany, in order to meet the needs of her national defense, spent more than fifty million tons of iror. and steel. "Actually, we use In a single day of the war at the present time more iron and steel than we used thruout the en tire war of 1870-71." Admission is made that Germany has only been able to continue the war to date by the exploitation of all ihe iron mines, stocks and resources of the territories she has occupied. The document continues: "We do not have the right to count that in a future war we will have the good fo'tune a second time to be able to exploit the territories occupied and to increase our resources of first ma terials." Outlines Future Wars. A wuole chapter is devoted to a graphic description of the basis on which Germany's future wars must be conducted. The memorial says: "For the future wars it is necessary that we dispose of considerable re sources ir. German ore, for the richer an industrial nation is in iron ore, the greater it is feared by its enemies. "In the future it will not be masses of men grouped in gigantic armies that will decide the war, but above all defensive and offensive instruments of perfected technic placed at the dispo sition of the combatants in sufficient quantities and constantly renewed. "It is thus that the mineral districts of Lorraine to which we are already indebted for not having been annihil ated in the present war, protect us in the future war and permit us to as sure the welfare of the empire and at the same time spare the blood of th" peonle. Hold Mines to Safeguard Germany. The last chapter, entitled "Conclu sions," concludes as follows: "It is necessary to see in the seizure by Germany of all of Lorraine not merely a war indemnity and a source of vigor for the Fatherland, but also a guarantee of a durable peace and of security for the Fatherland." The memorial is signed on behalf of the association of German Manufac turers of Iron and Steel, by W. Meyer, president, and Dr. J. R. Eichert, ad ministrator: anfl on behalf of the As sociation of German Metallurgists by Voegler, president, and O. Peterson, administrator. Card of Thanks.

Refugee Garments Are Badly Needed by French., CHILDREN CAN BE OF HELP Only Plain, Serviceable Articles Are To Be Made. Property Bags Will Be Shipped to France Monday. Red Cross workers who have a lit tle time at home and the girls of the grade and high school who can do Rome plain sewing have an opportun ity now for some special service for the Red Cross in the making of refu gee garments for the children off France and Belgium. The American I Red Cross has made an appeal lor clothing for the refugees. The To peka chapter has been asked to get out as many of these garments as pos Rible. The garments are made strictly to pattern and must conform to the pat terns in order to fill the requirements. They must be made of new materials. The sewing is so simple and the pat terns so easy to follow that making the garments is not all all tedious. The Red Cross cannot furnish the paterns or materials. The children of several schools are already doing much of this work thru the Junior Red Cross.

It is not greasy, is easily applied and costs little. Get it today and save all further distress. The E. W. Rose Co, Cleveland. O. AilVPrtlRnnpnt. NEGLECT OFTEN ENDS A1IM OPERATING ROOM Why neglect yourself so long? If I could only impress upon you the world old adage about the "ounce of preventive that is worth the pound of cure," there are thousands of people of Topeka and Kansas who would avoid a serious ending to wilful neglect. You have neglected vourself else you would not suffer from PILES. But now since you are afflicted, if that be the case, why NEGLECT still further. You have had your warning, you are suffering from It as you read this statement, an other warning. PILES cause not only suffering at the present time, but bring about diseased, congested conditions of the system which lead straight to the sick bed or the operating room. You can have your PILES CURED NOW, that is if the con dition has not advanced to the can cerous stage. Once cured, if you will give the proper attention to your habits you will enjoy normal health. Your cure is permanent. Surely you are not neglecting the important step because of fear or timidity or the possibility of ex orbitant charges. Come to my office and discuss those features. Don't try to figure them out in your worried mind, at home or in the business office. No treatment, no event of such a character is nearly as tragic as it seems when thinking and worry ing about it before hand. Frankly, the treatment I give for the CURE OP PILES is very mild, is painlessly applied, leaves no soreness and you are not detain ed from your regular business or social duties longer than to come to my office and receive the ap plication. I WII.I, GIVE A WRITTEN 'iVARAXTEE TO CTOK, PER MANENTLY, on yoit need not AY ME ONE PENNY. If you nvc paid me any sum, and I fail t cure you to yonr own satisfaction, very penny of that money will be "funded to you. IOXT NEOI.ECT THIS IMPOR TANT STEP ANY LONGER. Write today for my new rectal book just off the press. Read more rbout the treatment, lead what others say of my methods, write to some of them, and get their own personal story, direct from them. Then come. EXAMINATION IS FREE. Office hourn regular, ex cept Sunday. Dr. C. S. Wolfe RECTAL SPECIALIST. 809 Kansas Ave. Topeka, Kan. bonnets have already been sent to the Red Cross rooms. Other articles for the babies are most urgently needed right now as a complete layette must be shipped and not one or two arti cles. For the present bootees and bon nets are not needed. Appeal a Strong One. The appeal of, the Red Cross, show ing exactly what is needed in the wy of refugee garments follows: The need of garments for the refu gees is almost overwhelming. Here are hundreds of thousands of people, many of them accustomed to live in comfort, reduced to a state of abso lute destitution without any fault or Improvidence of their own. For years to come it will" require their utmost efforts to provide food and shelter for themselves. In the matter of clothing at least we can be of some assistance. Merely as a question of economy we do not want to send them second-hand clothing. It will cost us Just as much in freight charges to ship old clothing as to ship new, and it will wear out in half the time. So it is not good business to send the second-hand. We do not want to send bright col ored clothing. The people there do not like it. They are accustomed to dark, sober colors, and more than eve- at this time when every family is in mourning bright colors would seem like a mockery. Materials for outside garments may be figured, striped or plain colors, but must al ways be dark, preferably black, gray or navy blue; never red and very little green. We want to send only what is plain and durable. It is very difficult to get washing done in France at pres ent. There is no soap and little hot water. Tre garments we send will have very hard wear. There must be no unnecessary ornament, and no flimsy fabrics. This refugee work can be done by individuals in their homes. When shipping be sure to mark the boxes ''Refugee" plainly on the outside.

WORK-HEALTH PROBE Investigate Effect of Industrial Em ployment on 1,200,000 Women. Washington, March 2. Is work In American munition factories under mining the health of women workers? This is what the labor department alarmed by European reports has started out to discover. More than 1,200,000 women are to day employed in war industries in this country, it was stated; and a large proportion of these in munitions plants. European reports have told of severe strain on women workers re quired to lift heavy metal castings and shells. Overwork, too, and unwhole some moral surroundings are reported to have taken heavy toll in many fac tories abroad. Many cumbrous ma chines must be adapted to control by women. The labor department probe is de sired to result in needed readjust ment thruout munitions plants and to see that wages of women workers are maintained on the same level as those formerly paid men.

Majestic Theater. Adv. TRIBUTE TO DANA Bar Association Held Memorial Meeting Today. Sterling Qualities of Dead Jurist Were Recited. COURT ROOM WAS PACKED Z. T. Hazen Presided at Im pressive Meeting. Resolution Introduced Was Unanimously Adopted. Tribute after tribute was today paid to the late A. W. Dana of the first division of the district court at the memorial meeting of the Topeka Bar association held in the deceased judge's court room. The room was packed with lawyers and scores of "veterans" before the bar had a trib ute to pay. The "younger generation" also showed its reverence and respect. A memorial to Judge Dana was prepared by a committee comprised of Joseph Waters, T. F. Garver, T. H. Allen, Charles Blood Smith and T. F. Doran. The memorial was adopted unanimously by the bar. In speak ing of Judge Dana the memorial said. Beautiful Tribute. "As a judge he was highly capable and his ability increased with his years. He was honest and square to every wind that blew. As a man the bar loved him. Its members knew him to be sincere and his decisions are evidence of his best thought and study. Ho was complaisant and agree able and had the quick initiative to still anger and restore calm "Thruout his official career he held his temper in leash and no member of the bar ever heard him speak with a rebuking passion, altho in some instances it might have been deserved. He gave ready help to the young prac titioner. He was always the dignified and urbane judge and over kindly to his brethren of the bar. "In all of the many activities of life, uff the bench, he shouldered his share and did his bit. in the literary societies, at his lodge, on the golf links, at the hilarious junketings of the bar, as a townsman and citizen. He was true to his obligations. His life was an altruistic one, which gave two to another before he took a sparse one for himself. This awful war was his obsession; it engrossed his thoughts. He was an American thru and thru and had the nerve to express his loyalty in no uncertain speech. It was not his to welcome back our victorious troops returning from far fields of strife, with defeated helmets on the spikes of their guns. His ear never caught the sound of the soul stirring drums, the loud shrieking fifes and the uproarious blare of noisy bugles, rhythming the marching steps of our gallant 'lads coming home with Omniscient, he is today in the land ablaze with the victories of honorable peace: but thanks be to the one High Omniscinet, he is today in the land of the Eternal Right, and his is the immortal prescience to know that in all the fierce whirligig and circum stance of this atrocious war, however long the battle may wage, its cost, its horrors, it is impossible for the Hun to escape an ignominious defeat. Was a Family Man. "Judge Dana leaves a widow and two splendid daughters just emerg ing intj womanhood. His thoughts early e-nd late were for his family. He answered their love as does the needle the North star, whether ob scured by scurrying clouds, or sighted out in the open vault of a serene and starlit 'light. The bench and bar send their love, a touch of their tears and a pulse of their hearts and hone that th gracious Almoner will melt their aeepest anguish into a solace and rest ful and comforting; for time can make the bitterest aloe of sorrow sweet, and memory will glisten their tears with its sunshine. "We ask that this memorial to Al ston W. Dana, late judge of the dis trict court of Shawnee county, may "ii uie recoraa or tnis court, and a cipy sent to each member of his family." Z. T. Hazen, ex-jupge of Judge Dana s court, presided at the meeting. MANY BIG SPEAKERS Dr. Kulp, Bishop Wise and Dr. Sheldon on High School Program.

ITS' OPEN TO ALL Soldiers of Every Rank Invited to the C. of C. Many Sammies Expected To Use Rooms Tomorrow. Topeka has finally fallen in line with the other cities located near the big army cantonments where the sol diers are in training for the battle over seas. Topeka has provided a rest room for the boys on their week end furloughs, at least the Chamber of Commerce has and now the boys on Saturday afternoons and nights and all day Sundays may find a' place to rest themselves, to write home, to play a little pool and to have a good time generally. The Chamber of Commerce rooms will be open for all of the boys from now on, and as summer advances the committee in charge of the entertain ment of the boys will try to provide a glass or maybe two of lemonade or something to stop that thirst, will per haps draft an entertainer now and now and put on a little program on Sun day afternoon when, as everyone in Topeka knows, there is nothing for strangers to do except stand on the street corners and watch the proces sion. Plan to Pnt TJp Signs. Members of the Chamber of Com merce have already- expressed their willingness to serve a couple of hours on Sundays as a reception committee for the boys who come to the Cham ber of Commerce. Arrangements are being made to place signs in the de pots advising the way to find the Chamber of Commerce and to extend the welcome hand to the boys. And they will all be welcome and more than welcome whether they come with their shoulders glittering with officers insignia, or with the chevrons of a non-com or if only a common buck private. Rank means nothing to the men who will have charge of the rooms and a shoulder strap is not recognized as a reason for special fa vors. Up at the Chamber of Commerce the boys will find nice comfortable rocking chairs, a lot of magazines new ones a few pool tables, a few girls like they know at home, a house mother, and a glad hand. Expect Iiarge Patronage. It is expected that soon the reputa tion of the Chamber o Commerce brand of hospitality for the soldiers will go the rounds of the camp and that every soldier will feel that the Chamber of Commerce rooms are the logical place to find friends and en tertainment. Of course, the entertain ment tomorrow will not be very elab orate, as this will be the first Sunday of the general opening. But in the summer, oh, boy, won't that lemonade and ice tea go some! U. S. FAMILY CAPTIVES Captain of American Schooner, Wife and Daughter on Hun Sea Raider. Copenhagen. March 2. John Cam eron, captain of the American schoon er Beluga, his wife, Mary, and their 4-year-old daughter, Janitia, of San Francisco were the only American prisoners on board the Spanish steamship Igotz Mendi which went ashore on the northern extremity of Jutland, Denmark, while attempting to reach a German port. Captain Cameron says that the Ger mans fed and treated all of the pris oners well until a Japanese succeeded in escaping, after which all were kept below for twenty-eight days. A German official statement of Feb ruary 25 stated that the German aux iliary cruiser Wolf had returned home after fifteen months in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. Two Raiders Traveled Together. A British admiralty communication of the sairfe date said -that the Wolf sank eleven ships and a number of sailing vessels. Later reports-showed that the Igotz Mendi, after her cap ture last May, was placed incha-ge of a prize-crew and a number of pris oners from the sunken vessels trans ferred to her. The Igotz Mendi fol lowed the Wolf for four months until they were separated south of Ireland. The German prize crew has been in terned. RAID ON PORTUGUESE FRONT

Counter Attack Ousts Huns Meet De feat at Hargicourt. London, March 2. German troops i carried out a raid on a wide front against the Portuguese trenches in northern France early this morning, today's British war office statement announces. v A counter attack promptly launched ejected the Germans and left the situ ation as it was before the raid. Several raiding -operations by the Germans were conducted last night. In one case near Hargicourt every German who succeeded in reaching the British trenches was either killed or captured. British troops took prisoners in raids in the Armentieres region and near Arleux-en-Gohelle. Agree on Chicago Milk Price. Chicago, March 2. Farmers serv ing Chicago will receive $3.10 per hundredweight for milk during March, according to agreement reached be tween the food administration and the Milk Producers' association. This price will probably mean continuation of 12 cent milk to consumers here. IS MONTH FOR DRIVES1 March Has War Record for Opening Spring Offensive. BY J. W. T. MASON. New York, March 2. The time of major offensives has come in the war zore. March is the month of desper ate fighting and of the Initial devel opment of great strategic plans. Henceforth, the war news may carry any day the first intimation of America's forthcoming drive against the German front. The bitterly cold winter weather has now passed from the western battle line and the thaws have ceased, for the most part, to make- quagmires of the shell holes in front of the trenches. Whichever side desires o move first to the new attack will probably select this month for the initial p.f sault. Last iiCarch the French and British made -.r.eir most effective joint at tack of the war, in the west, which was followed by the great German re tirement to the famous Hindenburg line on March 18-20. At the same time, the British army at the other end. of the war area, in Mesopotamia, moved forward, and March 11 cap tured Bagdad. Before Verdun In March, 1910. In 1916, March saw the maximum effort put forth by the Germans to capture Verdun. The beginning of the attack on the fortress was ad vanced by the crown prince to the las; week in February, for the pur pose of securing the benefit of a sur prise assault. But, the heaviest fight ing fell in March, and- it was the March defensive of the French army that broke the back of the German movement. In March, 1815, the British started their first spring offensive, which re suited In the capture -of- Neuve Cha pelle. The Russian advance in Ga licia broke thru the Austro-Hungar-lan defenses, in March, 1915, and cap tured, the great fortress of Przemysl, and further to the south, invaded Hungary. EJnlesj a new precedent is to be es tablished in the world war, March, 1918. must likewise help make history on a mijor scale. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From thm column of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL At the evening session of the senate a bill was passed making appropriations for the current expenses of the Topeka Insane asylum for the fiscal years ending June 30, 18SH. and June 30, 1896.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1918 Up to FROM EVERYW HERE TO CLEAR IIP AIR W. LClnb Owners Meet in Des MoinCs Tomorrow. Many Matters Must Be Solved if League Starts. By tomorrow night it is more than probable that the thick, hot air the Western league moguls have been ex hausting will have thinned out and settled down to such an extent that the pasteboard purchasers will know something definite. The franchise holders are scheduled to meet in Des Moines tomorrow to discuss matters and to arrange ft schedule if they can "chain up" enough cities to complete their circuit. Spencer Arthur Abbott who is try ing to put Topeka back in the league will represent this city, and, accord ing to his statement, he will be load ed for -a lot of situations that are ex pected to arise. Abbott, goes to the meeting with one of the best assur ances of any city of financial back ing, Topeka having raised more money thru the advance sale of tickets than any other city in the league. Topeka Puts Vp Mont. In fact. Topeka is the only city that has really raised enough money to guarantee and insure a team all sea son regardless of conditions and the breaks of the game, and Abbott has pledged his word to local fans that this backing he carries with him will not be used or abused unless every other city gives a guarantee that it can Ftart with more than a dozen men in uniforms and a few balls and bats. When the ticket selling campaign was first launched here, Abbott an nounced that he would not go into the league unless every doubtful city also sold enough tickets in advance to guarantee an attendance. But no other city except Hutchinson has at tempted to do this and now Abbott pledges himself to "lay off" unless every other city puts up ar guarantee of $2,000 that it will finish the season. 1 Can All Oo It. How some of the cities are going to dr this is a matter that has not been explained. It is the general belief that the club owners who have any amount of money invested in fran- chises, parks or stands would insist on the league starting even if they felt there ivere ninety-nine chances out of a hundred of a blow-up coming be fore the close of the season. With this feeling there is certain to be ob jection to the forfeit plan and Abbott v ill probably have to revise his 'pro wtive policies" again very likely. The league abolished the forfeit l rreement several years ago and ev ery town has trusted to pot luck that :ings would, be kept oing. There is very T reason to believe a majority the Vv.ylr'owriers will insist upon this ain. .UXiio iney -may compromise by t:i kins? a paper forfeit agreement. Sioux City has not yet fallen over 1 -r.self in an effort to land the lAn-r- in franchise and the Ducky Holmes i'ej'l seems to be hanging fire because llii! Hioux boosters have not shown pn ninth enthusiasm to make a satisfac tory park lease offer. Holmes has an nounced that he will take his club to Mnux City without any kind of finan cial arr-rngemcnts and that all he will a3k will be support. Savage Gets a Boss. How the leTgue can have any as surance Jiat his club will be able to keep going on this plan is one of the matters that Abbott will be expected to bring up tomorrow. Abbott ad mits that Sioux City looks like 'a 'weak fister." John Savage, holder of the Joplin franchise, has announced that Harry C. Spratt of St. Joe will run the club while he is acting as secretary for the Kansas City Biues. However, Savage says he will be in close touch with af fairs and that he will be on the job part of the time. Holmes Gets Soo Park. Sioux City, la., March 2. Negotia tions for the transfer of the Lincoln Western league baseball franchise "to Sioux City were practically completed here Friday afternon by Ed. J. Han Ion and William -Holmes, at a meeting at which President E. W. Dickerson, of the league, was present. Before the Lincoln franchise could be sent o Sioux City it was necessary to lease the local park from Mr. Han- Ion, who last summer took the Sioux City team from Sioux City to St. Joseph. Holmes is owner of the Lin coln team and Hanlon owner of the St. Joseph franchise. Husk era Win torn Drake. Lincoln, Neb., March 2.

BILL FISHER-MANAGER Former Topeka First Baseman to Pilot the Portland Club. Bill Fisher, former Topeka first baseman, will manager the Portland club of 'the Pacific Coast league this season. Definite announcement of this has been made by the manage ment, of the Portland team. Fisher came to Topeka from Denver in 1915, and was recognized as one of the best fielding first sackers in the league, but Savage was forced to let him go because of his inability to hit. Fisher afterwards played with Louis ville in the American association, and then went to Pasadena, where he has been managing an independent club ever since. While in Topeka and Denver Fisher was one of the most popular players in the Western league. START SEASON APRIL 1. Metropolitan Racing Dates Will Run to September 14. New York, March 2.

Savage says he lost money but that be ex pects his Miners to do better this season. It seems baseball men are beginning to use more camouflage than soldiers. These days they a re putting out contradictory statements oftener than the wind changes and if they did but know it they are play ing a poor publicity game. Announcement has been made that Coach Harper, the man who has made Notre Dame mighty on the gridiron, has resigned and will come to Kansas to go iuto the cattle business. Great athletic minds beem to run in the same channel. Wiliard also be lieves he can make more selling Kaunas bulls than bulling the sport world. Wiliard, by the way. is reported to have purchased a $3cyM)0 hut in Lawrence with 50 acres for a front yard. The street num ber of the purchase was not given and, a lot of Topeka football 'devotees who visit the city every fall are wondering just what one of Lawrence's $00,000 homes the cham pion selected. Lawrence certainly is a fortunate city. Not ouly does she have the university basketball team as an advertising asset, but citizens can point to the proud fact that Wiliard deserted Chicago to move into the shadows of Mt. Oread. Tony Defate. the Topeka player who cre ated such a sensation during spring train iug last season and who then dropped out of big league mention, is coming back to the Western league this season. Derate' was procured by Omaha in the deal in which Fa Itourke sent Marty Krug to St. Paul. Gowdy I a Krai Soldier. The Sporting News this week contains the following interesting article from a war correspondent in France about Hank Gowdy. the first big league player to vol unteer for service: Next to General Pershing, himself, and a few other generals, Hank is about the most popular soldier in France. When his regiment comes swinging down the pike tbe sidelines are jammed with other sol diers who crane their necks to get a peek at him. "So that fella's Hank, the great ball player." you can hear one "doughboy" say to another. "Well, I'll be doggonned. Looks just like any other soldier, .don't he? "What do you expect to see?" will ask a boy who has worshipped Hank's batting average for these many years. "Didja expect to see a fella wearin' a baseball uni form and carryin' a bat over his shoulder? Sure that's Hank. Hello, Hank, bowja like soldiering? Hank will look out of the corner of his eve and then, sure that the colonel isn't looking, will reply out of the corner of ms motitu "We're onto the kaiser's curves, boys. We'll hit every tiling those Huns pitch for home runs. No strikeouts in this game!'' Hank Life of Ills Regiment. Hank is -he life of his regiment. In his "stove league" this winter he has or ganized all kinds of baseball leagues and next spring he's going to lead a cham pionship team agaiust all soldier comers. If (ieneral Pershing isn't too busy Hank will try to get him to umpire some after noon. Hank isn't very utrong for the discipline sturr tney nave in tne Army, out ne De haves himself and does everything bis of ficers tell him to do. I dropped iu to see bis, colonel the other auy, out ue wbbu t in uis omce. nuu was there, however, with his feet on the colonel's stove. After a while the colonel came in.

Cal, if the colonel here doesn't ask you to stay for lunch, come on over and eat with uie." After Hank bad gone out tbe colonel said: Every outfit ought to have a few fellows like Hnuk.

No less than four big league clubs bid for Larry's serv ices. But," said Lajoie, "I was hold ing off till I heard from the To ronto club. Now, they write me that the International league will be going again this year and that they want me back. So that's where I'm expecting to go again this year." NEW CARD. SPIRIT Hendricks May Giye St. Xouis Team To Rave OTer. His String of Pitchers Is Aliove the Average. BY JACK VEIOCK. New York, March 2. Jack Hen dricks inherited a pretty sweet-look-ins bail club when he inherited the Cardinals. Within one short year Miller Hug gins had made over the Cards so thoroly that St. Louis fans could scarcely realize that the failures of 1916 were the firsts-division contend ers of 1917. And the Cards finished right up there among the select set, going strong. When Miller Huggins left the Cards it was a hard blow. But when Pres ident Rickey signed Jack Hendricks, the man of the hour in the minor leagues, to step into Hug's shoes, he got the right man for the place. Hendricks's success in the minors indicates he should prove a big asset for Cardinals. He isn't the kind of a feliow who entertains defeat, and if the owners of the Cards will give him his heaJ. and permit him to get and keep the players he wants he will be a factor in National league pennant races. New Spirit In Club. In ail there are twenty-nine play ers., on the roster of the Cards who were carried over from last fall. And there is going to be new spirit and new ginger in the team, for its prospects are bright for a strong finish. Hendricks has a good string of pitchers in Doak, Meadows, Packard, Horstman, Ames, Watson, Twombly. Murchison, Tuero, May, Sherdell and Howard- The ffirst six named here are the ones of whom most is expect ed, and, taking the staff as a whole, Hendricks has plenty of talent. In Snyder, Gonzales, Brock and Benton he has catching talent galore, and need not worry over how the pitchers will be handled. The infield problem has resolved itself into getting some one to take the place of Dots Miller, who has enlisted in the navy, for in Hornsby, Paulette, Baird, Betzel, Wallace, Steward and Lanpore the Cards are pretty weil fixed with infielders. A second base man with experience, therefore, is the player mostly needed to complete the lineup. Outfielders Competent. The Cards have J. Smith, Walton Cruise and Tom .Long to depend on as regular outfielders. They also have Smyth and Heathcote for utility work. Figuring that the Cards will prove as strong this year as they did in 1917, and figuring also that much may be accomplished by Hendricks, the prospects of the Mound City aggrega tion look mighty good. They ought to rank with the topnotchers all season. TO GIYE CHICAGO RACING? Theatrical Man Would Put Windy City on the Grand Circuit. Chicago, March 2.

FEBRUARY WAS MILD One of Most Sunshiny Mouths on Record in Topeka. February, 1918, was;-one of the mildest and most sunshiny months that Topeka has ever experienced, a this time of the year, which is gener ally noted for its disagreeable weath er. According to the summary of conditions completed at the Weather Bureau office the temperature aver aged 7 degrees above normal, in con trast with that of January preceding, which averaged 8 degrees below nor mal. High temperature records for individual days were broken on seven dates, while the maximum of 78 de grees on the 24th tied the previous high mark for February. There was but one cold wave and zero tempera tures prevailed on only three days, in contrast with nine days of zero weath er in January preceding and seven days in December. There was more sunshine than To peka has enjoyed in any other month since last September, with 17 clear days, which ties the previous record for February. The average wind ve locity was, with one exception, the highest on record for February and the greatest since March of a year ago. Winds of 25 miles an hour or more blew on 10 days and exceeded 40 miles in two days, the 14th and 25th. The long drought was effectually ended by 1.20 inches of rainfall on the 27th and 28th that soaked the ground in fine style and came in time to prevent any material damage to winter wheat, which had been in a critical condition for three months past on account of lack of moisture. The frost went out of the ground the last week of the month and left it in excellent condition for spring plowing. GOVT PAYROLL WAY UP New Help In War and Treasury Dep't Makes Record Appropriation BUI. Washington, March 2. Carrying $69,533,398.25 or $13,581,699.08 more than last year, the largest legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill in the nation's history, was report ed to the house today by the appro priations committee. The largest increases are found in the war and treasury departments and were made necessary, the report says, by the greatly increased number of war employes. For temporary em ployes of the war department, $6, 116,018 more than last year was ap propriated. The war risk insurance bureau was given $3,341,000 and collecting the in come tax requires $2,742,000 more than last year. No general plan for increasing the salaries of government employes is carried in the bill, the plan of the ap propriations committee being to do this in a separate measure.

"The nation that 4ias stained its escutcheon with the rlack bar sinister of the gas attack fend the horror of liquid fire has put that on its shield that can never be .wiped out in a hundred years of decent life. The nation that intro duced this horror must be fought with 41 own weapons and so horrified at &at it has done that never again in Abe history of the world will any na tion dare to even think of the. gas at tack thru fear of suffering its horrors Itself."

But you will not say stop, for the boys are battling for the very honor and safety of the American women, and the women of our allies. "There is nothing that America holds that is too good to be placed at the disposal of the boys in the trenches," continued Doctor Kulp, "and all this talk of duplication by the parsimonious ones is foolish.' If those boys want a palace for each one of them behind the trenches it is up to us to give it to them if possible. All that we are able to do when all has been said is to merely scrape the surface of that hell over there with a little touch of heaven." There were a number of other speakers on the floor this noon, but all of their talks were short and had to do with campaign matters. The meeting closed with the singing of the last verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, which is declared to be a favorite with the soldiers and which Biby says "expresses the ultimate of he motive influence of this war.".

E, House for their co-operation in the handling of the problem of the internment of immoral women, and particularly diseased women. He declared that if the military authori ties at Camp Funston failed to give the assistance they would be able to give, with the federal power behind them, he would try to arrange for the renting cf a house on the outskirts of town, keep a watch dog on the job. i nd intern the women who were taken up on the streets of the city. The club directors agreed to take up the matter of seeing that funds for the project were forthcoming, in case nothing was done by authorities at the camp The thunders of Sinai broke loose to day in a directors' meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. The noon luncheon party. had broken up, and the men were moving away to their business or straying into the pool hall, when Mayor Jay E. House appeared in the rooms, and asked the directors to mee him for a conference. Mayor Makes Statement. "I have come here," he said, "to put before 'you the problem of the care of the immoral women in this city who come in for Saturday and Sunday when the soldiers are down on. furlough. My good faith in attend ing to this work has been called in question. The morning newspaper of this city states that there are houses of ill fame running wide open many of them. This is not true. I am doing my utmost to handle the problem, and I will handle it. But I do not in tend to stand by and hear my motives called in question and my sinoere ef forts doubted." E. H. Crosby of the club rose to answer Mr. House. "No one wants to call your good faith in question. Some of the things I have said, I have on the authority of Mr. Tabor of the Daily Capital." Then, turning to Ta bor, Mr. Crosby said, "You told me to day of hearing on the street a date made between one of these low wo men and a man, did you not?" "We all know," House said, "that dates are made on the streets, but what I want to know is, where are these wide open places you say are running?" Reporter Knew One House. Tabor rose reluctantly, admitted that he had told Mr. Crosby the story mentioned, and, after a little thought, named a street number which he said belonged to an openly operated house of ill repute. "But where are the 'many houses of your story?" demanded House. Tabor made no reply. Henry Bennett then suggested that the help of the state government be asked. "The state," Mr. House re plied, "has only a set appropriation to work upon, and it already is taking care of all it can on the amount al lowed it." House then proposed his scheme of renting a house for the internment of the women, "if," he concluded, "I can find enough money over here in the city government to enable me to do it."

At the Salvation Army drive dinner at the Chamber of Commerce this noon, Dr. Edmund Janes Kulp issued a statement in which the flatly denied the accusation that he was getting rich out of his work in these cam paigns. "The rumor has been going around, and has finally come to me that I am benefiting in a financial way out of my work in these campaigns and out of the speeches I am making in sup port of the war.

Last week the Lutherans of the United States, excepting the Missouri Synod, united In a drive to raise three quarters of a million dollars under the National Lutheran Commission for Soldier's and Sailor's Welfare. The sum of $9,000 was allotted to the Lutherans of Kansas. The chairman of the committee for Kansas was Dr. Ernest Pihlblad, president of Bethany college, Lindsborg. The Kansas drive was organized in the National hotel in 'Bopeka three weeks ago, and the drive took place last week. Dr. Pihl blad now reports the following sums raised in cash by the respective Syn ods: General synod. $S,771: General council, $5,026; Iowa synod. $557 Ohio synod. $112; Danish, $144; Nor wegian, $21: total, $9,633. Many of the churches have not reported, and it is expected the total will run to $11,000, and the entire drive over th- United States will realize more than a million dollars. t There are 165,000 Lutheran boys in the army camps. There are 2.264 at Camp Funston. While the Luther ans have given libera'ly for the Y. M C. V. cause, and all the other gen- ersil drives, they are .doins this in ad- 1 dition, for the boys of their own faith. a. are many of the other de nominations; only the Lutherans have gone at '.he drive at once to get it off so as not to interfere with the coming new liberty bond drive.

COURT Trading Stamp Law To Be Tested in Highest Tribunal. Sperry-Hutchins Co. Serves No tice on Valentine Today. Constitutionality of the Kansas green trading stamp case is to be tested in the United States supreme court Attorneys for the Sperry Hutchins stamp company today served notice on Del Valentine, clerk of the state supreme court, that the case would be taken to the highest tribunal lor decision. State courts upheld the trading stamp law as passed by the 1917 legis lature. Several months ago the Kan sas supreme held the law valid. All of the provisions of the law as affect ing the giving and redemption of trad ing stamps and coupons were upheld by the court. It will be several months, possibly a year, before a decision -in the stamp case can be secured from- th United States supreme court, unless the case is advanced, to early hearing. The status of the law applied in this state will remain unchanged, tho, pending the action of the higher court. One of the bitterest fights of the recent legislative session surrounded the passage of the anti-trading stamp law. While the law does not abolish the use of stamps, coupons and pre miums in the state, it provides a grad uated scale of license for the use of the stamns and premiums. Provision is made in the law regarding the giv ing of stamps or coupons originated by a firm, such stamps bearing a stip ulated cash value. Premiums used must be from the re-nilar stock of the company or firm. The law. however, put a ban on the foreign trading Ft amp companies by requiring a high license fee. The tradine stamn com panies fouprt both the bill and the en forcement of the.lw, ORPHANS' HOME WINS Judge Whitcomb Iecldes Knthryn Mills Case In Favor of Plaintiff. Final disposition of the will of the late Kathryn Mills, prominent Tope kan, who bequeathed her wealth to more than 100 heirs scattered thruout the United States, was made today by Judge Whitcomb who handed down a decision in the sui,t brought by the Topeka Orphans" home against he heirs and administrator for possession of the building at 429 Kansas avenue. Judge Whitcomb decided the case in favor of the Orphans' home. The litigation was the outgrowth of clauses in the will which provided that an uncle of the deceased, Benson S. Bennett of Ottawa, should have the benefit of rentals of the Kansas ave nue property until his death. At the time of. his death the property was to revert to the estate. After making definite bequests not including the property to other heirs the will speci fied that all remaining of the estate after the other provisions were car ried out should go to the Orphans' home. The Orphans home sued on "the remainder of the estate going to the Orphans' home" grounds, saying the Kansas avenue property consti tuted a part of the "remainder" after Bennett's death.

Mary's Ankle. "Mary's Ankle," the successful farce comedy by May Tully, which A. H. Woods will present at the Grand three performances commencing Tuesday, March S, matinee Wednesday, with the original New Tork cast and produc tion, comes to Topeka with the criti cal approval of no less authority than Alan Dale. Mr. Dale writing about it in the New Tork American, declared that he found in it amusement, fresh situations and droll dialogue "Mary's Ankle" was one of the first of the current season's metropolitan suc cesses that enjoyed a run of three months at the Bijou and Thirty-ninth street Theaters. New Tork. MiseTul- ly's comedy is a gay and unusually amusing farcical romance, involving three very poor, young men and one very charming, young lady. The young lady herself is interested in only one of the young men but all three were concerned in the daring and original scheme that brought them together." The play is striking ly original in plot, abounds in amus ing equations, and contains as crisp dialogue as has been heard on the stage in many seasons. A feature of the splendid production which Mr. Woods has given the piece is the ef fective third act set, on board a steamship sailing down New Tork Bay. The brilliant New Tork com pany that will Interpret the piece in cludes Amy Leah Dennis, Bert Leigh, May Wallace, James Hester, Edward Butler, Louise Sanford, Donald Mac Leod, Gertrude Mann, Frank A. Mee han and others. One Cent an Hour. The skilled American worker, well paid and accorded all the privileges of the land of liberty, stands in remark able contrast to the Chinese coolie, de picted in Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival, which comes to the Grand Friday and Saturday on March 8, 9. Matinee Saturday. The average coolie's stipend is one cent an hour for the hardest kind of labor. Man power, instead, of steam, is still used in China to move most of the river boats and to operate the primitive mud dredges and other anti quated machinery. Many interesting glimpses of the industrial methods of the Chinese are given in Mr. Howe's fascinating tour thru the Celestial em pire. Another striking link In the new Travel Festival program is an excur sion into the 'wilds of Alaska, while considerable excitement is furnished in the capture of a wild mountain lion by intrepid hunters in Montana. "A Day and Night at Coney Island" is a lively and decidedly amusing visit to the bizarre amusement devices of America's playground. Mr. Howe, too. has secured some spectacular views of Uncle Sam's gigantic war caterpillars while engaged in the performance of seemingly impossible feats. Ani mated caricatures and film novelties from the Howe studios will be freely interspersed thruout the entertain ment At the Orpheuxn. A telegram received from the book ing office of the Southern Quintette announces that cancellation of a preT vious engagement has been accom plished in order that the quintette may remain over in Topeka another week.' At the close of next week's en gagement, the five popular entertain-, ers will nil special dates for a short period or until they are called to the colors.

The quartet, appearing two years ago under the name of the Southern Harmony Four, sang their way Into the hearts of Topekans in a manner never to be forgotten. As they ap pear this year, the organization has added a pianist whose ability on the baby grand Is quickly recognized. His accompaniment with the singers adds zest and swing to the entire entertain ment. Mary Pickford in "Stella Maris" comes to the Orpheum, beginning Monday. She appears in the most tenderly appealing role In which she has ever been seen. She plays a double part, a departure for the fa mous little star. Her first characteri zation is that of "Stella Maris," who has been a paralytic for ten years, living in a home of wealth sur rounded by every conceivable luxury, where tender care from a circle of friends has been showered upon her. Her bedroom is one where nothing but smiles are bestowed, where world wisdom and care has never entered. t uuiijr omfie, a veritable ugly duckling, the slave of liib orpnanage, living on the scraps and dressing in the rags which are given her In the name of charity. The story revolves around the cur ing and entrance into the real world of the paralytic, Stella Maris, and the revelation to her, after having been sheltered for years, into the world of dreams and ideals, of the actualities of the misery and sorrow in the real life outside. The two girls, the ugly duckling and the beautiful Stella Maris, love the same man and then comes the sequel to the story. New Han at Majestic. At the Majestic all next week is billed what Manager Mack claims to be the best musical tab show on the road. In describing the show, he per sistently uses such expressions as "oh, so different," "some real comedy" and they look like real "Kentucky Belles." Heralded features of the Kentucky Belles show are the Cook sisters, a "regular lady quartet; "the Burke sisters," "some dancing team." Leslie Kell, who calls himself "that original boy from Tennessee," and somebody else who says that be is six feet of burnt cork. Manager Mack says that this "Ken tucky Belles" show is the first tab that has been billed at the Majestic that carries its own special scenery and electrical effects. He also main tains that the chorus contains a bunch of real show girls, and promises that they will cure any chronic sore eyes in the city. For the hew show it is announced that' the policy of the theater has been changed so that there will be a change of "bill every Monday, Wednes day and Friday instead of the two changes a week as in the past. The pictures for the rest of the sea son include a comedy reel for each change of bill with Installments on three serials: "The Lass of the Lum berlands" on Mondays and Tuesdays; "The Adventures of Shorty Hamilton" every Wednesday and Thursday; and "The Price of Folly" on Fridays and Saturdays. for. mIS-t ra3(V(Vi? 0H V V 4 NIGHTS-25-50-75-$l-1.50 MAT.-25-50-75-$l PLUS WAR TAX SEAT SALE MONDAY, MARCH 4th IBM 3 M tBmaBnsBmmWBnl knaaa.nan.nal J MATINEE SAT.

TRENCH AND Y. M. C. A. of the United States v Edition for CAMP FUNSfON, Fort Rfley, Kan. re. HERE hqme fqlks VOL. I. SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1918 No. 22. I is A GREAT LAUNDRY Institution Important to Fnns ton's Health and Comfort. Most Modern Methods, System and Care Are Used. BUILT, EQUIPPED IN 72 DAYS Can Handle Washing and Iron ing of 60,000 Men. An Interesting Story of a Unique Building. BY SERGT. R. E. LEWIS. One of tlfe most efficient lnstitu tlons connected with the Camp Puns ton cantonment, and one which does the greatest service to the men, in dividually, the one big feature in im proving the general appearance of the men, and the one which adds the most to the general sanitary condition of the men, personally, is the camp laun dry. The magnitude of the laundry, the place where each piece of wear ing apparel of every man in camp is laundered in the most-modern method, where the pieces which have been lost are replaced and the articles re turned to their owner in the best or der, is almost beyond conception. The camp laundry is houBed in a THAT FEEUNG ur KtLiti wmn you rmw trr tc ih, t6. fl ElAVTO HAtHWt Ml Tt LtXC frame building 400x2S5 feet. From all available reports, the Camp Funs ton laundry is not only the largest ef the cantonment laundries, but it has the distinction of handling the most pieces every week of any similar in stitution in the United States. It was built in Just 72 days, this being the time actually consumed from the plac ing of the first stake on the site un til the building was fully equipped with modern machinery and open for business. The construction of the building is unique in that it was erect ed in the least time of any laundry building of its size ever erected in the United States. The plant is equipped to handle the laundry work of 60,000 men, if it were run to full capacity with night and day forces. Figuring at the rate of 15 pieces every week for each man, which is the average, this would make a total of 900,000 pieces which the plant is equipped to handle. The number of bundles handled at the present time, exclusive of the base hospital, the infirmaries and the laun dry of officers and civilian employees, average between 1,300 and 1,400 bun dles per day, or an average per day of 21,000 pieces. This makes a total number of pieces of laundry for the enlisted men per week of 184,000. It Is estimated that more than 50,800 pieces is laundered, each week for the base hospital. At full capacity the laundry can handle he washing of 6,000 men per eight-hour day, allowing each man fifteen pieces. This can be handled in addition to the laundry of the base hospital, the infirmaries, officers and civilian employes. The laundry building was conttruct ei under the supervision of Harry A. Suliott ef Kansas City, one of the best known constructing engineers in this part of the country. From the time the building site was staked, until the building was completely equipped, the work was pushed forward with the utmost speed, it being the main object to get the laundry equipped fh the shortest possible time. The plant is managed by Lieut. Harry G. Yeager, who is directly responsible to the gov ernment for the -successful manage ment of it, and it is his duty to make the laundry a self-sustaining enter prise, aver since it was opened it has tio only been self-sustaining but has made a good profit, regardless of the low price which is cnarged for the work. The price of work is so reason able that it is hard to find a soldier who does not have his work done at the camp laur.dry. The price for work 13 60 cents for fifteen pieces. Sam Goepfert is the superintendent of the laundry. He has been in the business twenty years, starting at the first in the most meager apprentice work and gradually working himself Into a place of prominence in the laundry world. He came here from th? Big 4 laundry at Leavenworth, where he was superintendent. From his general knowledge ef the business be has placed the camp laundry on fen economical basis, and has organ ized one of the most efficient forces ever employed in an institution of this kird. So perfectly has his plane been laid that the .institution runs along like clockwork. Every employe knows just what is to be done, how it is to be accomplished and just how the work must be done in order to candle the large volume of business. The work is being done in such a manner that complaints of lost articles are practically unknown." During the time the laundry has been in opera tion only three claims have been paid to persons who claim their laundry had been lost. The letters show that only six legitimate claims for lost ar ticles have been turned in at the of fice, which is remarkable when it is coisidered that many thousand artl cles are handled every week. To do (Continued on Next Page) FUNSTON BREAD GOOD BREAD Record Nearly Twenty Tons In Twenty-Two Hours. Thirty-eight thousand eight hun dred and eighty-eight pounds of bread in twenty-two hours. That is the output of a record run made at the bakery in east Camp Funston. This, it is believed, establishes a record for the army cantonments. It is the re sult of a test conducted to determine the capacity of the bakery and the work of a night and day shift of twenty-six men to a shift. Camp Funston bread is good bread. It has staying qualities. There is no similarity to that airy nothingness that is ordinary baker's bread. In fact it re minds you of nothing quite so much as the ,t:nd that mother used to make. Frank Monte, sergeant first class, a bakar for years with the regular army, ziow in charge- of the bakers' school, puts it this way: "The com mercial baker is out for a profit but Uncle Sam is not trying to make mon ey out 31' his bakeshops. Therefore he insists upon quality and no skimping." There are at the present tune soma fifty-five young men going to school to Sergeant Monte and at the same time helping to turn out an indispensable product to the mesa hulls. Just now the bakery is running to about one-third of its capacity and is putting out from twelve to fifteen thousand pounds of bread each day of twenty-lour hours. Twenty-five men are now working to the shift with one day and night on and twenty-four hours off. These men are members of Bakery company 316, commanded by Lieut. L. L. McKlmmey, who has been connected with the quartermaster service tor a number of years. Sec ond in command is Lieut. Roger A. Grant, who had the supervision of a large Chicago bakery prior to being cem missioned. Two or three kinds of flour are used in this Camp Funston bread. Rather we should say two or- three grades. To secure a fair quality of product these are mixed lh proper proportions. Fleischman yeast is con sidered the standard and three or four hundred pounds ara kept on hand all the time, just now the company is experimenting with potato ferment with splendid suoeess. This is to be used in emergencies when a supply of yeast Is not available, A shift of bakers coming on at o'clock mixed its dough for 13,208 pounds of bread as follows: ill sacks of flour of 98 pounds each, 138 pounds of salt, 85 pounds of yeast and 38 gallons of potato ferment and 82 pounds of lard and oil for pans and troughs. The Ingredient are thrown into large troughs, seven feet long about two and a half feet wide and two feet high. After the dough has been mixed it is allowed to stand for five and one-half hours to ferment. Then it is placed on the moulding ta ble and made into two pounds loaves. From the moulding table it la carried on movable racks to the steaming room, where It remains for forty-five or fifty minutes. It is steamed to make it light. Mother used to place her pans near the stove to keep the dough at Ibe proper temperature and to insure the proper fermentation. Temperature Is no less an important factor at this huge bakery. In faet, a close record of each batch of dough is kept here, the temperature of the rooms and the time of each process. If a batch turns out badly the officer in charge has only to consult the chart and check up the trouble to its proper source. Dough that stands two Inches in the pans when placed In the steaming room will swell to four inches in the process of oontact with the warm, moist vapor. For creating this vapor the bakery has an espe cially equipped steam plant. There are four ovens each with a papacity of fifty pans of 300 loaves or 600 pounda The loaves are baked on hour and five minutea From the ovens the finished product is wheeled to the issue room to which place the mess sergeants call for their daily al lowance. The organizations must have a credit at the commissary de partment before they may receive their supplies This credit permits of an allowance of one pound of bread to each man. That seems to be a lib eral allowance and there is never a complaint in the mess halls of an in sufficency of the staff of life. Nor is there any complaint of its quality. A NEIGHBOR CAMP Arch Jarrell Compares Fnnston and Doniphan Camps. An Interesting Letter From ltansan In Service. HOW THEY. DO THINGS IN TEXAS Men There Are Housed in Good Warm Tents. Manner of Their Drill and Work and Play, BY A. W. JARRELL. Special to Trench snd Camp. Camp Doniphan, Fort Sill, Okla., Feb. 26, 1918. The readers of Trench and Camp may be interested In know ing something of the happenings of Funston's neighbors, the national guardsmen at Camp Doniphan. While the two camps have much similarity, there are several points in which they are very different This camp is situated south and west of Fort Sill, and about five miles from the city of Lawton. The camp forms a huge horseshoe about six miles around. The two infantry brig ades are located on the north and west sides of the horseshoe, and the engineers, supply train, sanitary train and the artillery brigade are on the south side. Other units are scattered thruout the camp. Unlike the Funston cantonment the men here are housed in tents, walled up halfway and floored. While they are not so warm in extremely cold weather as barracks they are on the whole very comfortable and sanitary. Only five men are allowed in a tent. The Thirty-fifth division is com manded by MaJ. Gen. William M. Wright. The instruction carried out is similar to that carried out at Camp Funston. The infantry has been hav ing close order drill, extended order drill, bayonet drill, grenade drill, and other work preparatory to service overseas. The Sixtieth Field artillery brigade, under command of Brigadier General Berry, has had as systematic instruction as is possible with the ma terial at hand. Most of the material will undoubtedly be received after ar rival ir. France. The morale of the troops here is excellent. The guardsmen who came down here from home four months ago, unused to army discipline, acous tomed to lives of comparative ease, have changed greatly. Men come to attention with a "click." obey orders promptly and cheerfully, and the BlouehlheSS of dress Which is notice able in all raw troops Is fast disap pearing. The third officers' training camp Is it,int0fi nnr division headquarters. Originally there were 440 men at this camp, PUt tnai numDer is uouis eui down and competition la keen for the commissions which will be handed out at this camp. The men ere receiving gs Instruc tion weekly, consisting of drill In put tin on and taking off the gas masks. drilling with masks on and spending a few minutes eacn time in a room laden with poisonous gases. Btrange as It may seem, the gas masks are not very popular with the men, and an observer might see many ludicrous sights wben they put the maiks on for the first' time. The sports of the division are In charge of Mr. Harry Lansing, ex-Missouri university football star. He or ganized a football team last fall, which, after a poor start In the game with Funaten, beat University of Oklahoma, always a strong team- The captain of the team is Lieut. "Pete" Heil, K. U. star. Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon la devoted to sports and everybody In the division has to take part. The baseball sea son has begun here and there la prom ise of getting up a first class team In the division. The division commander Is insistent that all officers and enlisted -men of the division dress uniformly. The regulation uniform for enlisted men is O. D. wool uniform, hat and chin strap for warm weather and service cap for bad days, canvas leggins, field hobnail) shoes for drill and russet shoes for dress. All men going to Lawton must wear an overcoat or trench coat. Every man must shave every day and bathe at least twice a week, and a military haircut is re quired every two weeks. The government school of fire is lo cated at Fort -Sill, and officers from all over the country are here for that school. Her they are taught all the latest "dope" on artillery firing on the western front, under the tutelage of French, English and Scotch officers and non-coms and with French guns imported specially for this purpose. The aviation camp here is also Inter esting. No matter how inclement the weather, the airmen are up every day, working out tactical problems and mastering the art of aircraft. It is no uncommon sight to see eight or nine aeroplanes in the air at the same time. The principal characteristic of the country about Fort Sill and Camp Doniphan is the wind. The only time the wind aoesn t plow is- next year. It blows from the north until all the dust is gone from the camp, and then switches back and blows It back from Ike south. But the men of the Thirty fifth division are getting used to It, and scarcely notice it any more. The principal recreation these days is the spreading of tumors about the division's embarkation for France, or China, orSt. Louis, or some other place. In" the last three weeks the Thirty-fifth division has gone straight to the western front, has been sent to the land of the hula -hula, has guarded bridges along the Mississippi, has gone to Poland, Italy, Ireland, the Phillp- This sketch by Private Louis A. Pesmen of the Q. M. C. detachment Illustrates The Zone, Camp Funston's Great White Way, the only complete city within an army cantonment Fifty-five firms are represented In The Zone and every line of business is to be found. It is a place where the soldiers may do their trading and where they can be furnished with high class, clean and moral amusement with out leaving the cantonment The Zone Is 4,500 feet in length and is divided into two units. All that part west of West boulevard Is devoted to commercial Interests, while all that portion each of West boulevard is formed into a civic center. Among the civic center activities are the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, the office of the Camp Exchange and Camp Activities and Amusements, the officers' club being built by the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus building, the library and in the near future a gymnasium and swimming pool will be built. Also the Jewish Board of Welfare Work have started the construction of a social center building. pines and every other place but the north pole. These rumors all begin and end in the same place, but tbey succeed in keeping all the men wondering. But there is one thing certain. When the Thirty-fifth divi sion gets to Europe .Bill Hollenzollern will know that he has 25,000 more real Americans to fight. MANY IN SERVICE Y. M. C. A. War Secretaries Number 1,100 In France. Hundreds of prominent business and professional men from the fifteen middle western states, comprising the central military department are In cluded In a roster, just published, of Y. M. C. A. secretaries and volunteer workers either on their way over sea or now serving the American troops In France. Within the past month the number of men in Y. M. C. A. war service abroad has been in creased from 934 to nearly 1,300, of whom over 1,100 are employed in France alone. Announcement received at Funston from the national war Work council of the Y. M. C. A, states- that impos ing as the figures may seem, they represent but a part of the nee.l-i of the Red Triangle- for men for such war work. It is estimated that dur ing the next four months, the Y. M. C. A. must add forty-three new sec retaries or volunteer workers every twenty-four hours if it is to handle and administrative and other offices here and abroad. Five hundred and twenty secreta ries are now employed in the central military department alone. To serve the needs of the 300.C00 enlisted sol diers and sailors in this military zone the Y. M. C. A. has erected eighty six service huts, auditoriums, gar ages and administration buildings I and has authorized the construction of twenty-seven additional structures which will be. completed within the month, it is stated. Three new build Inge are being -erected at Camps Sher man and Dodge and four each at Camps Funston, Taylor and Grant. The total cost of construction In the department already approximates $1,000,000. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska are among the states contributing gen erously of their prominent business and professional men for Y. M. C. A. war service abrbad. A number of men from these states already are in France serving the social, physical and religious needs of the American forces. Others who have Just, sailed are spoken of as follows in the report of the National War Work Council: Rev, James H. George of Columbia, Mo., was rector of the Calvary Epis copal church. He graduated from Hotchkiss school, Lakeville, Conn., and from Trinity college, Hartford, Conn. Benjamin S, Lang. 604 Merchants Exchange. St. Louis, Mo., has had years of experience in the grain busi ness, and was director of the mer chant's exchange. He was captain of a local team in the recent Y. M C. A. financial campaign. Wallace E. Stewart, 4481 McPher son avenue, St. Louis, Mo., was manager of Ware Leland, grain brokers, and has held many executive positions during the last sixteen years. He applied for admission to the re serve officers training camp, but was refused because of physical disability. John N. Bennett, Crete. Neb., has been for eighteen years -dean of men and professor of mathematics in Doane college, located there. Mr. Bennett was graduated from the Uni versity of Nebraska. Lincoln, Neb., in 1899. He is an accountant and was at one time principal and business manager of Chadron academy. Chad ron. Neb. He sings and plays the flute. William A. Stauffer of Marion, TW. Louis A.TVsmeJ i -Detach ment. Kan., managed a ranch. He was graduated from the Kansas State Normal schoei and has been a teacher. THE GROUPS Sensible "Get-toothers' In a Number of Companies. About three weeks ago Trench and Camp had an Item about Brother Graves arriving in camp and being attached to the Y. M. C. A. staff as a Brotherhood of St. Andrews Personal Work secretary and since the time he arrived he has been on the job form ing groups in different companies around camp but principally among the 353 Infantry boys where he has made many staunch friends. It's a mighty happy idea to have these groups of men getting together and standing for the clean things in life. The democracy of the group is para mount. They make their own rules, elect their officers of president, secre tary, sick committee, and topic lead er, generally have a "kitty" where the men who break the rules, (or one who feels generous) chip in anywhere from a nickel up, this money being used for the sick, and meet once a week when possible. One thing they have In common Is their motto of "Service and Prayer" and "Get your brother." Fundamentally they stand pat for the things religious but' in a strictly inter-denominational way, and also aid in every way the work of the chaplain and Y. M. The taboo is put on profane and Indecent lan guage, gambling and all other things of this character and in some of the barracks a chapter from the Bible is read by one of the group before they turn in. The sick committee keeps track of the boys taken to the base hospital and sees that someone visits them. Altogether the boys have taken to the idea and several requests have been received from fjifferent parts by Brother" Graves to start these groups. CUTS SOME ICE Twenty-Four Tons a Day Made at Fnnston. The Plant Is Modern and Most Complete. Camp Funston's lea plant has a ca pacity of 24 tons dally. On a five day test the plant established a rec ord of 48,000 pounds each twenty-four hours. Sergt Wm. 8.' Read is In charge of the manufacture of ice and of the maintenance of temperature In the oold storage department. Sergt. yy. l. Wassem represents the subsist ence department of the Quartermaster Corps In checking In and out beef, pork, cheese, butter, .oleo and other produots requiring refrigeration. The ice plant Is one of the more complete of its kind. It is equipped with the most modern machinery. At the present time the ice is manufac tured from raw water. It is not dis tilled but It is hoped to later Install a clarifying system that will do away with the snowy appearance that the finished product now has. This snow Inesa Is not, however, due to impuri ties. The ice is just as purs as the water from which it is manufactured. The plant contains two Vilter Ice making machines and two Ice making tanks each containing 160 300-pound capacity cans arranged so that In the event of a break-down the other unit may be used. A Bryan cooler pro vides refrigeration for the three cold storage rooms. The large one Is pro vided with beef rails from which may be suspended a total capacity of 600 quarters of beef. A quarter of beef, unloaded from the car, is swung to the rails, weighed and rolled to the cold Btorage room. When needed It Is again weighed and by overhead rail Is pushed to the door of the waiting van, ths large box-like fully-enclosed trucks that are seen here and there about the camp. A section of the rail forms the balance of the scales and the quarter need not be removed from its hook to be weighed. The other two cold storage rooms have a capacity of about three car loads each and are used for milk and fat products. The total refrigerating capacity of the plant Is about ten tons, which added to the twenty-four tons of manufactured ice, gives the camp a cooling capacity of thirty-four tons. This, it la believed, will not be suffi cient. It is likely that it will be neces sary for the quartermaster to buy ad ditional ice tbis summer, or it may be found mora practicable to add another unit to the plant. Every precaution ia observed In a sanitary way. The beef, for Instance, is given the once over by a govern ment inspector as it Is taken from the car and as it is delivered to the trucks. The delivery vans, too, are washed out thoroly daily. The cold storage rooms are as neat as a pin and the men In charge have worked their way thru a long string of red taps in order to procure a white enamel for the walls. On the average of five tons of beef are. received here each week. The power use in manufacturing ice is electric thruout. Wastage of water is avoided by a continuous cooling sys tem. The camp is using at this time about five tons rt iee daily, tho of course this dimand will be greatly in creased with the approach of warm weather THE CAMP EXCHANGES Capt,' D. B. Foster Placed In Direction of Them. A recent order Issued by the war department places all exchanges in the camp under the direction of a camp exchange officer. Capt Dick B Fos'er has been appointed to this position with the following assistants: Lieutenants Amfahr, James W. Bell, Henry Bennett, Jr., John C. Willing, Fred B. Creglow. Geo. H. Imbrle. The management of the various exchanges is one of the big Joba Pf the camp and a jtaff that can do the work in a meet efficient manner has been se lected. The department of camp -activities has been merged with the camp ex change. There are at the present time seventeen exchanges in Camp Fun ston. This new order does away with ttao reg'mental and unit exchange councils and placed the entire admin istration in the hands of an executive committee of the camp exchange council. The committee Is composed of Capt. E. B. Murry, 314 Engineers, chairman Capt. M. B. Wellington, 353 liifantry; Capt. Cole W. Carson. 366 Infantry; Capt. F. L. Reagen, 184 depot brigade, and Lieut. J. M. Mac Lean, 342 field artillery The profits from the regimental or unit exchanges will be divided among the organizaticna participating. The profits from the camp exchange on the Zone will be divided as follows: To division headquarters, 10 per eent; each brigade headquarter's fund, 2Vi Ser cent. The remainder of any divi end declared will be distributed pro rata in the organizations in the camp on the basis of their organized strength. All of the buying for the various exchanges in the camp will be done by the camp exchange officer. Cop tain Foster. This is for the purpose of having a uniform stock in each reg imental or unit exchange. A unit percentage of profit will be charged, thereby insuring the soldier that he may purchase his wares in his own exchange at the same price he will pay at seme other store in the camp. Chess and Checker Players, If you like a real good game and think you are some real "pumpkins," Carl Schutte or Clyde Tupper of the Q. M. C, phone 231, Y. M. C. A. No. would like to meet you.

Eternal Spirit of Good Humor Makes Great Soldiers. MAJOR PAYS HIGH COMPLIMENT Knights of Colnmbns and Have Talent at Hand. They Are Great Letter Writers and Hard Students. Nothing carries a soldier farther In his training thru the long, hard grind of the preliminary camp than a fund I of good humor. The soldier who can stand the gaff and -still wear -a smile contributes much to building up that psychological thing we know as morale. It ia this eternal spirit of good humor that is making great soldiers of the sections of the Ninety-second division, colored troops, quartered at Camp Funston. Of course every one knows that this trait of ood humor is characteristic of the race, no mat ter how lowly In life the station may be. But in donning the uniform of his country the colored soldier finds a new source of self-satisfaction and a. Pride In himself greater than he has hitherto known. He takes to the service like a duck to water. It has added a considerable something to his self-respect; therefore he wants to be a good soldier. "We find that our men are very easily disciplined," said Lieut. B H Mosby, athletic officer of the Ninety second division. One of the majors told me the other day that he never saw troops take so quickly to things or march and drill so well in So short a tinfe. You know we have but a part of the division here, the 817 motor supply train, 817 sanitary train 81T ammunition train, 317 military police, 849 machine gun battalion and headquarters troop. These colored men come for the greater psrt from Kansas and Missouri, although there are some from Nebraska and a few from Colorado. Morally the men are doing well. There have been few cases of drunkenness and no instance of men who haye gone to the city and pulled stunts that would bring dis grace upon us." Lieut Mosby who is also assistant to Capt Sam Bucklew, activities offi cer of the 2nd, was head of the De partment of History at Sumner high school in St Louis prior to Joining the service. Mis Is but one of a consider able group of colored officers who have been educated In the best uni versities of the country. Probably two-thirds of these officers are college men, there being representatives heie of Harvard, Columbia, AJnlversitv of California, University of Chicago, K. U. and so on. Many of them. too.St were professional men Some Were (Continued on next purr.) HOW THEY CAME The Last Increment at the First raft. In they came, shouting, scrambling, rioting, wearing a great pretence of enthusiasm and destination tags the last Increment of the first draft to Camp Funston.' That Saturday was a warm, summery sort of a day, re minding the. hard-boiled veterana of last summer's crusade into camp; and the coats were off in a very unmilltary fashion. But who expects the hew recruit to know anything at all especially any thing of the military requisitions? From hundreds of towns scattered thru the states of Kansas and Mis souri these new men were drawn. Herded into packed cars they soon established a boisterous fellowship which tended to banish or at Jeaxt con ceal the traces of homesickness creep ing over the men after an absence of a day or so. There was no languishing about the camp upon their arrival, for the, men were drawn into a long line by ener getic non-eommlgsiohed officers and filed Into the examining buildings near the depot. Immediately on entering the classifying barracks, the men were stripped of their civilian clothing, obliged to bind them into'' packages for shipment home, and given the "once over." After a shower bath the civilian-soldier stands up for a brief medical examination and la then Issued the olive drab which here after will constitute his garb. In order to forestall all manner of future trouble thru attempting to round up the men for Insurance and allotment data, they are made to clear up their papers upon the spot, and then they are finally mustered In by a mustering officer. But the rookie is not yet in our midst, for the system has been altered. The new men are driven in trucks out to the detention camp, where they are assigned tents for a three weeks" stretch of inoculations, vaccinations and other forma of first-month train ing. Many of us have had the un forgettable experience of a seance with the detention camp, and are well aware of the facilities and comforts of the life. The new recruits will be housed in the tents, five men per. And after a visit of three weeks these men will be among us demand ing all the courtesies and littl? atten tions that you seasoned old-timers were In need of four or five months ago. To these fellows. Just coming away from their homes, homesickness is inevitably bound to come, and It will be up to the men who have passed thru these sleepless stages to aid the new men over the stony paths so let's give them a good hand when they do come in, i -41

REMEMBER Sinking of the British steamer Tus cania, used as a transport for Ameri can troops, will prove by far the worst day's work in the whole infer nal program of German rightfulness. It will be one of the greatest boom erangs of the war. "Remember The Tuscania," is de stined to take its place as a battle slogan, just as "Remember the Maine" did. "Remember The Tus cania" will fire and inspire the Ameri can soldiers as they go over the top with bayonets fixed and jaws set to make the world safe for democracy and to avenge the deaths of their brethren in arms on the Tuscania. The torpedoing of the Tuscania. reckoned as one of the fortunes of war, brought home to many lethargic Americans the grim fact that this country is at war and aroused the whole nation. There is more deter mination than ever to beat the Ger man militarists to their knees. There probably was great joy in Berlin when news was received of the sink ing of the transport, even as the piti "THE NON-COM" Long before Waterloo Europe found that the backbone of the army was the "non-com." And what Wel lington proved Kipling described. Take any story you choose about the British arrry, from Kipling's pen, and you will see that in defeat or victory, on march, in cantonment, in trench, or in attack, it is the "non-com" that makes or mars the success of the movement. "Woe to that regiment," said Kipling, "whose sergeants are not on the job." Today what Kipling told his read ers is Become tne common knowledge of the world. Two years ago not one man in a hundred knew or cared any thing about the duties of a sergeant. Today 2,000,000 families in this coun try nave sons in the armv and those sons are either sergeants or they are officers or privates. Around the ser geant evolves the life of the company, and from the sergeants have come some of the greatest generals. The brilliant and ill-fated Hector McDonald was a British sergeant be fore he was a British general. So we j General Sir William Robertson, the British chief of staff, and S.O will be that unknown general who is now wearing nis sergeant s chevrons in America or "Over There." And Gen eral Pershing knows it too. He has written clearly and decisively to say that the American officers must be up to his responsibility. A German writer recently sneered at Mr. Baker's statement that there were now 110,000 officers in America by saying that anybody could sew epaulettes on a soldier, but it took years of training to make an officer. 353 INFANTRY NOTES BY RICHARD C. KROEGER. Bishop James A. Wise, of Topeka, spoke before a large and enthusiastic audience of soldiers in the Kansas building of the 353rd infantry, Sunday night, comparing the present spirit and status of the American soldier with the precepts and injunctions set forth by Christ two thousand years ago. The bishop addressed the men in his usual vehement and forceful man ner dominating the evening thru his own positive personality as well as thru the matter of his speech. "We in this crisis of today," said the bishop, "are serving as the justifica tion and result of Christ's teachings, for we are striving now to fulfil the prophecy that all men are on an equal ba.sis. and that the right shall event ually triumph. This right must ex tend to women and children as well as to men. and such atrocities as are today being committed by the Ger mans must be checked even at the great sacrifice of many thousands of lives. "Our mission must not become sim ply one of personal antagonism, but the salvation of the innocents, the wo men and children who are being ruth lessly attacked, must always be before us. The children, hallowed by Christ, living in his spirit and teachings, no matter how humble, shall be kept from harm and set before us as an Ideal of purity. "We are all of one class, of one sta tion and humbleness in this war for right, and we must lift out our hands to the buffering, just as Christ did." In addition to the Bishop's talk, a program of music by the Regimental bai:d under the leadership of Sergeant Meyers, brought the evening to a hap py conclusion. As a triumphal culmination to the successful events of the division of Washington's birthday the entertain ment in the Kansas building of the 353rd infantry during the evening was the acme of perfection. Those who missed the delightful production offered by the men of the 363rd and the small but efficient troupe of negroes from the Ninety second division may well regret the loss, for the laughter and applause of the appreciative audience was com CAMP and Cantonments for tbo soldiers of Mm THE TUSCANIA ful cries of the helpless mothers and babies who went down with the Lusi tania was music to German ears. Bat "They Shall Pay." If there were any soldiers in the camps and cantonments whose whole hearts, minds and spirits were not in this war, the torpedoing of the Tus cania has removed all of their misgiv ings and their eagerness to get to the avenging battle line has been multi plied a hundred-fold. Many of the soldiers on the Tus cania had never been to sea before, but they knew how to die at sea. They behaved like brave men. There was no panic. Above the shouting -i orders, the hissing of steam and the surging of the sea there rose from the lips of the American soldiers the inspiring strains of "The Star Span gled Banner" the last message from men being ushered into the Great Be yond to their brother soldiers. They knew and the world knows that the men who follow "The Star Spangled Banner" will exact full atonement fot the Tuscania. "Remember The Tuscania." This illuminating remark carried neither information nor novelty to the American War Department. Every act of that department has been to show that in this war officers will only be appointed by merit and hold their places by service. Every day officers are demoted and every day they are promoted, never in the world was there such a chance for Ameri can soldiers of real ability as this war offers. The men of natural genius and, above all, of unflagging application are sure to rise from the ranks to positions of command, and every Sen ator and Representative in Congress will not be able to keep his rank for that officer, be he second lieutenant or general, who is unable to care for his men in camp, to lead them in the field, and to see to it that all the officers under him discharge their duties with intelligence and military precision. One of the greatest single geniuses of the Civil War was Nathan Bedford Forrest. His record and his achieve ments demonstrate his extraordinary natural genius for military affairs, but the world remembers best Grant and Lee, two men who cultivated their powers with unremitting energy and who brought to bear on their tasks in defatigable perseverance. The Grant and Lee of this war have not yet been discovered, but they will emerge, and this much we may say of them, they will certainly come from that body of men who work all the time, and if they are not "non corns" when they; begin they will have the highest ad miration for the "non corns" when, they end. mendation and encouragement suf ficient to Justify the production. Captain Keim of the headquarters company, 353rd infantry, arranged the entire program, and had made pro visions for a larger entertainment by the men of the Ninety-second division for a skilled band of clog dancers and minstrels was expected. Nevertheless the fighting spirit evi denced by the three sets of negro boxers was elucidating, especially that of one bout of lightweights, whose chief aim during the match was to condole the audience for the omis sion of the clog dancers. The music offered by Band Master Meyers's musicians, and the solo from the trombone of Suttmoeller were the pieces de resistance of the evening, and the band may well be commended for their artistic work and progress under the bandmaster's efficient lead ership. SPORTS The camp is sending a relay team to Kansas City today (Saturday) to compete with Coach Schulte's team from Missouri, university. The event will be held under the auspices of the Kansas City Athletic club. E. J. Ren ick and J. G. Daggy of the O. T. C; Lieut. Grant Wyatt of the 340 Field artillery, and Lieut. F. J. Bailey of the 34 Machine Gun battalion, com pose the team. The first three were stars as relay runners at Missouri uni versity and they are eager to trim the alma mater. This team won the only event accredited to Camp Funston in tho athletic meet with the Aggies at Manhattan recently. The relay team will be accompanied to Kansas City Dy Lieut. Ben Baumber of the British mission, who is taking a bayonet squad of twelve men to out on an ex hibition btween the athletic events of the day. Lieutenant Boucher of the French mission exhibited a few grenadiers at the basketball game between Missouri and the Aggies Wednesday. The Camp Funston soccer team goes to Arma, Kansas, March 2 aid 3 for two fames with a bunch of hard boiled coal miners. The basketball five has a game scheduled with the Missouri State Nor mal at Maryville, Mo., March 1 and another with the St. Joseph Olive street team for March 2. 341 F. A.J3AND NOTES bt Crispin J. webb. Musicians Smith and Webb were guests Sunday for supper at the Henry HermseT home in Topeka. Mr. Herm sen is putting in a forty-chair barber shop on the zone at a cost of about $12,000, and expects to move his fam ily to Manhattan to reside. He expects to be ready for business March 1. The me a are ready right now. Gene Stuchbery enjoyed a visit with his parents in Topeka Sunday. Sergeant Dusky, and Musicians Jenhomme and Shanley played with the 342nd F. A. band at Marysville Saturday. The baseball enthusiasts are trying to hasten the coming of spring Brad shaw and Roberts, for instance. Private Olson was taken to the base hospital Saturday with mumps and consequently the saxophone quartet numberj had to be omitted Irom tne Topeka program Sunday. Olson plays tenor sax and is missed from our or ganization. Private Coles left Friday for his home near Sterling on a furlough of ten days. Private Doud and Corporal Durand are also away on passes. Sergeant Lockhart stayed in To peka till Monday evening on business. "Shorty" Williams has been the vic tim of a real "swell" affair lately, the result of neuralgia, but he's been up and a-comin' all the time and didn't miss the Topeka trip nor any of the work of preparation. Owing to a mistake in printing, the programs for last Friday night's con cert at Manhattan contained the name of Charles Guthrie as band director. and consequently the Manhattan (With apologies to Leader Guthrie.) papers were led astray. No, there's been no change and Sergeants Faber and Lockhart are still the band's head men. Guthrie is mass song leader, and accompanies the band on their trips and he s good company, too. Topeka, business men certainly de serve a word of appreciation from the bandsmen, who, by the way, were ac corded a most hearty reception in their city last Sunday. Topeka's doors are wide open to the boys in uniform and its people's hospitality is really great. We played a concert there to 3.500 people in the afternoon, and a more responsive and appreciative au dience would be hard to find. The business men threw open the doors of their club rooms and furnished a fine dinner. Hereafter their rooms will be open every Sunday to soldiers on leave. Topeka is In class A 1 with 341 F. A. bandsmen. Lots of things are not so bad as they are sometimes painted. Out of the dozen or more band boys who have lately been Interned at the base hos pital, there fiasn t been a fatality. All the men appreciate the good treat ment they got while there and wonder where the hardship stories of hospital life sprang from. We had swell enough dinner the 22nd to remind us it was Washington's birthday and we appreciated the ex tras furnished on that day. If you are anxious to know when the war will end, asK "snorty Williams he's posted a,na knows Just how much he's going to take part in the world struggle. Nearly all the bandsmen have smileage books and are finding good use for them. Corporal Center dis tributed several which he received from his home town "for the boys."

In each instance in the employment of help the soldiers relatives are given the preferenc. These feminine em ployes live at Manhattan, Junction City and Army City. They come to Camp frunston each morning on spe cial cars on the interurban road The greatest of care is taken to furnish these women with comfortable quar tet1 s ana their work is made as pleas an: as possible.

It is possible for much work to be done by machinery, which is accom plished in other large laundries by workmen. The laundry business constitutes one of the most practicable industries in which the big army trucks can be used to a good advantage. Were it not for these trucks the work would be greatly increased.

Each truck visits on an average of forty barracks each day. Two trucks are used in the work of picking up and delivering laundry to the base hospital and detention camp. According to Superintendent Goepfert, it would be impossible, to handle the voluminous work were it not for the trucks. So careful is the management of the laundry that no articles shall be lost, the following triple check is made on each bundle entering the institution. First, the driver ot the truck which picks up the bundles, signs for the number he receives from the supply sergeant of the organization. The second check is made by the fore man of the checking room; he signs a receipt to the driver for the number of packages he receives. After the clothes have been laundered and re turned in the truck to the supply ser geant of the organization to which they go, he signs a receipt to the driver for the number of packages re turned to him. With this system it is almost impossible to lose a parcel. The greatest conservation of ma terials is adhered to at all times. One instances which demonstrates this mor clearly than anything else is the matter of saving on wrapping paper. Of course a saving on this article may seem small to the average person, but at the end of the week it amounts to quite a figure. Every piece of paper which is not torn or mutilated in a manner that makes it impracticable to use is used in wrapping the outgoing bund'ea Often times the same piece rf paper in used five or six times iT wrapping laundry 'bundles. Paper, washing powder, soap ana other ma terials are purchased in carload quan tities. Recently Lieutenant Teager purchased a carload of soap and also a carload of Wyandotte soda, used for washing woolen cloths and in addition to the very low price secured in buy ing these articles in carload lots he has saved the government $1,800 in ad vance in price since these articles were purer, ased. The re has also been a market advance in the price of wrap ping paper since the carload was pur chased only a few weeks ago. Tie first thing done when laundry is received is to open the package and sort the various articles in their re spective classes. For instance, all of the O. I. shirts are placed in one sec tion, the underwear in another class, socks in another class, towels in an other, etc- The laundry is divided Into sections, each handling only one re spective article. After all of the arti cles of on kind have been laundered they are placed in the wrapping de partment, where they are again sorted into individual packages, which go to the barracks to be distributed to the owner. Each article of apparel is marked by an electric driven marker, so that it is impossible for a piece of laundry to be lost or placed in the wrone man's bundle. This markin system is done by companies, each man in the company being given certain number. Before a bundle is washed the owner's name and laun dry number are compiled and placed on record in the office. Each soldier riakes out his own laundry list and checks over same when the package is delivered to him. In this manner it is practically impossible for him to be shor: any piece of clothing. Each piece of clothing is carefully inspected for the purpose of ascertaining if any buttons are missing. If any buttons are missing they are sewed on without charge. This is the one cantonment laundry in which the articles are in spected and buttons sewed on each piece. Extreme care is taken In the sani tation of the building and it is kept clean at all times. Four men are em ployed in sweeping and mopping floors. During the first four weeks of life In the training camp many officers and enlisted men found it very inconven ient to have their uniforms laundered and pressed. Realizing the urgent need for an'alterintr and pressing de partment, Lieut. Teager and Super intendent Goepfert installed an up-to-date alteration and pressing department.- Two tailors are employed in this department and are kept busy in the alteration of uniforms. For the sponging and pressing the very nom inal price of SO cents is charged. Al well al I of ben wandering often why it is that they allweighs put me on the most importent detales sutch as i of ben on a no. of times just this wk. the Importentest of them all coal detale. they is no ust of me telling even to a sivillain why coal details is the importentest in the hole armie becaus sivillains know eumthlng about coal these days only not a grate deal about It from 1st hand evadunce but a grate deal from heresay sents a lot is printit about it in news pappers other pappers. the only weigh you can reely know about anything is to see it of coarse you other sivillains dont never see mutch coal. thats the reeznn why my bean on coal detale is a sine that t am pickt out for the importentest detale becaus it is sum onor to be the coal man these days when evan the pres. of the U of S is thinking about coal, you know me al. four this detale al you dont wear the nifty soldger close that you come into the sity in but in the stead a pare of blue colored gumpers witch hide everything about the soldger unniform but the end of the Iegings the Boldger shoes you wood hardly be known from a shovulen a wagginfull of coal to the are wellcum to the muyels cumpny coal pile in the stead of leadin me r.r. sidemg wear the coal cums in te rations are charged for at a very nominal price. Many high compliments have been paid the camp laundry by govern ment officials and inspectors. It has been stated by government officials that the Funston laundry turns out one of the highest classes 'of work of any of the cantonments. From the first day it was opened until tne pres ent time the work has gone on with out a hitch. Recently Miss Bresette, inspector of the Welfare Board of the State of Kansas, visited the laundry and in her report stated that the Fun- j ston laundry was the largest and best organized, and the work was com pleted in the most efficient manner of any laundry in the state of Kansas. The employes are the best satisfied, have the most pleasant surroundings in which to do their work of any Kan sas laundry, according to Miss Bre sette' s report. Lieutenant Teager welcomes visi tors at the laundry and is glad of the opportunity to show them thru the plant. Officers and-enlisted men may visit the Camp laundry at any time, inspect the building and be shown just how the work is handled; just how the wearing apparel is taken from one department to another and the many processes which the clothes go thru from the time they are taken from the truck until they are again placed in the truck for delivery. There is only one restriction placed on visi tors and that is they will not be al lowed to talk to the employes, as much time would be lost in these conversa tions and the efficiency of the big in stitution lessened by talkative visitors. Complaints are given prompt at tention and every effort is made to rectify any errors. If any officer or enlisted man has a just complaint, he is assured of prompt adjustment as to this matter Lieutenant Teager pays the strictest attention. Lieutenant Teager has one com plaint to make which affects only a very few organizations. In these or ganizations the laundry is sent to out side concerns and in the sending the supply sergeant of the organization concerned receives a commission of 20 per cent of all laundry sent by him. This small defect has been brought to Lieutenant Teager's attention on sev eral occasions by men who were de sirous of having their work done at the camp laundry. They state that it could be done in a much more satis factory manner by the p6st laundry and also that it would be a great sav ing. For 15 pieces the enlisted man is charged 50 cents. For this same amount of work he is oftimes charged between $1.50 and $2 by outside in stitutions. The laundry building was erected and paid for by an appropriation from the government and turned over to the Camp Funston cantonment for use. After the building was erected and equipped the responsibility of the government ended. It is now up to the management of the institution to make it self supporting. From the time the building was opened this has! been accomplished, and a nice sum has been made over and above the operating expenses. 11 employes are civilians as the government does not furnish employes to the laundry. To the government and the manage ment of the camp laundry is due a high tribute for the operation of this huge enterprise, which renders the most valuable service to every soldier in the Camp Funston cantonment. Although there are probably many sol diers who do not consider the many benefits to be derived by them from this mammoth plant, yet there is not a one who would take up the task of washing his clothes for the very nominal price of 50 cents per week or 50 .cents for 15 pieces. The building of the plant was a large undertaking, and it has been done in an extremely successful manner, and it is one of the most highly appreciated institutions to be found in he camp. The Colored Division has been strong for basketball. The league worked out a schedule by battalions. Both the K. of C. building and the T. M. C. A. were used for this purpose.

Men here are writing letters that never did write to any extent before. The father of one of these boys re cently told me that he had not known where John was for three or four years. 'But I know where he is now,' he said. When they finish writing to the folks they start in and write to all of their friends. I have an inter esting little room back" here that I want to show you." He led the way to the rear of the auditorium. Just off the stage a little ante room had been set aside for books, papers, maps and periodicals that deal with the war situation. "This is our war room," he explained. "Tou ought to see the interest the boys take in the study of the war. We always have this little room crowded of nights. Every night we have some thing going on here, a picture show, a concert, or something of the kind. The auditorium is packed for our re ligious services of a Sunday. Last Sunday Lieutenant Rucker of the Camp preached for us and three of tne live sunaay scnooi classes were conducted by colored officers. There must have been fully 600 men in the room." In addition to the Glee club of fifty voices, led by Lieut. E. B. Abner, there is the crack band of the 317th Sani tary train of twenty pieces, conducted by Lieut. Bates. Its members are do ing splendid work and their concerts add not a little to the general good spirits. Work is being pushed upon the new Liberty theater that is to furnish high class shows for the colored troops. It will be built at a cost of 127,000 and will seat 3,000. The men of the 92nd ZZZJ.Zl are doing the construction work. It: is also planned to build a Y. W. C. A. hostess houses at Army City for col ored people who wish to visit the boys in camp. Attorney W.

Some of the good by-products of this war are: THRIFT. We have been a spendthrift people, wasters all, from mil lionaire to shop girl. Says John Muir: "Overnight, almost, came a change.

This will be of inestimable benefit to us long after the war 18 over. -kiihT.HE SEN'SE OF THE COMMON GOOD. Every man, woman, and enna is being made to feel that there is something bigger and more im portant in life than one's self. Our fantastic individualism is passing. f al? becominK a real commonwealth. The social nerve is being de veloped. The civic conscience is being strengthened. DISCIPLINE. A million young men are in military training. To most of them this is a spiritual godsend. They are learning self-control, am work, co-operation. They are getting physical hardness and fit n em. iinanks to the foresight of the government, conditions, In the camps are being so ordered that we need no more fear that to Join the army means moral ruin. UNITY. Our people are suddenly forced by the fires of danger Into a splendid oneneos. Political parties have abated. North and south have fi the natcnet- Labor and capital have forgotten their quarrel and vie with each other In patriotic service. The great mass of foreigners are being made American in the melting pot of the cantonment. IDEALS. Never was the nation so idealistic, less sordid. The beauty, the unselfishness, the righteousness of democracy is coming out, "fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners ii WORLD UNITY. And perhaps the best of all of the results that will certainly accrue from this world conflict is the "parliament of man, the federation of the world."

Considerable interest has been taken on the part of men who have never had a real opportunity to go to school before French classes are held twice week at the K. of C. building con ducted by Professor Guillot. There is a training camp for officers in the 92 Division also, altho little has been written of it. It is under command of Captain Dean, graduate of Exeter college. Harvard, and a man of considerable attainments. He is being ably assisted by Captain Bar bour and Lieutenant Richardson. There are some fifty or more men In training for commissions as second lieutenants, some from the drafted personnel of this camp and some from the universities. An example of the way these men are taking to army life is seen in the case of one who had been away on a short leave of absense. "I jes couldn't feel satisfied nohow," he said, 'in tell ing of his experiences at home. "Kept feeling lak as how X ought to be back agin. These are not all drafted men. A-1 large number have been voluntarily inducted into the National Army upon their own request and waived exemp tion and deferred classification.

The boys have always appreciated all the service put out to them, as they have the programs, which have been of the highest type, with real artists performing, but their time was so ful ly occupied with work that they haven't spent as much time at the "Y" as they wished to. But things are different now, and every night the "Y" is filled with appreciative, well entertained men. "Y" No. 8 has been busy organis ing: and reorganizing Bible classes. A great many have been organized in the barracks, with Christian soldiers as teachers, and the main, "Parent' Bible class, led by Lieutenant Lauder bach of the quartermaster corps as teacher. This class has a fine start and bids fair to be two or three times its size before very much longer, for every Sunday is added new members. The Y. M. C. A.

If any of you fellows ever thought that you had been worked unreason ably hard, you should drop over and watch the pace the men in the third officers training camp are traveling. They all say that their old life was one continuous round of pleasure compared with life for the present tnree months. They say it keeps them continually guessing which part of their uniforms is going to wear out first; that is, if they, the men, don't wear out before the clothes. They are sure the rifle has dug clear thru the coat padding. and then they are sure their feet are waiKing on Dare ground, and tnen those long study hours. Gee!

The mem orandum provides: "Insured should receive explicit notice that he must pay premiums direct to the Bureau of War Insurance. Checks or money orders are to be drawn to the order of the treasurer of the United States. Soldiers will be notified in writing; of the date and amount of such premium payment, and the Bureau of War Risk Insurance notified at the same time by duplicate memorandum that such action has been taken." An elaborate program was prepared by the Knights of Columbus workers at Camp Funston in celebration of Washington's Birthday. U. S. Sur veyor General J. B. McGauran gave the principal address of the day at the main building of the K. of C. The sunreme council nf the order exercised every effort to celebrate the birthday of Ueneral Washington In a iitunc manner and suggested similar observ ances for each army cantonment. It is the common purpose of the council to bring to the minds of these thou sands of men who are making every sacrifice for their country's cause, something of the spirit that actuated the great Washington by cheering; their hearts with a reflex of that splen did courage and ardent devotion that animated the great statesman and pa triot. To the accomplishment of this end every endeavor is being made to secure members of the order eminent in their profession and speakers of national renown to address the boys. Mr. McGauran is a very prominent citizen of Denver and an active man in politics. As an orator he is espe cially qualified to discourse on patri otic occasions. It was considered a great privilege to have heard him in his remarkably effective address at Camp Funston. Captain C. J. Masseck. adi-tant of the All-Kansas 353rd Infantry, is ar ranging a tour of Kansas for the fam ous Regimental Band. All that will oe asked by the band in each of the towns visited will be the Incidental expenses and a small fee to cover the traveling and musical expenses. Band Master Edward Meyer is going to a great expense in the arrangement of a most classical program for the tour. wnicn it is planned will cover the en tire state. This is the first opportuni ty given tne people or Kansas to hear their "crack"' Kegimental Band, in some of the most classical numbers now being played by well-known or ganizations of this kind. One of the features of the program will be the 353rd Infantry march, especially ar ranged by Band Master Meyer and a number of well-known popular airs. A quartette composed of the best voices in the regiment will have a prominent part- in the program. This quartette is now being trained by Lieut. Leigh. Lieut. Thos. Reese has charge of the arrangements of the tour. Captain Masseck may perhaps be prevailed upon to go with the band to make short addresses pertaining to the work of the regiment and of the work of training the Kansas trooops In their fight for democracy. Any city In Kan- ,sas wishing to arrange for a concert Dy tne 363rd Infantry band should take the matter up with Captain C. J. Masseck, adjutant of the regiment. The tour will begin about March 1. Frank Dodson, regimental sign painter of the 353 infantry and drum major of the All-Kansas band, paint ed a very artistic sign for the editorial office of Trench and Camp. It may be seen at the main office in the headquarters of the Y. M. C. A. We are highly grateful to Mr. Dodson. One of the big items on the pro gram of the duties of the staff officers of the Eighty-ninth division, the men who advise and assist the command ing general In directing the work of the training of this vast army, is play. Every. evening between 5 and 6:30 o'clock the staff officers congregate on the division athletic field for their play they are all there, as none are allowed to escape. While at their play the officers are kids again and all their human qualities pop forth. They play one old cat with most keen enjoyment.. On the field they are all one big family. A colonel becomes a "bone head" if he misses an easy catch, and a second lieutenant may argue with a captain or a colonel as to whether he's "out" or "safe" on a close play. The officers are discover ing that the thirty minutes every evening at the athletic field exercising is the finest kind of remedy for their tired brain, also that it is a great bracer for an appetite. Last week a representative of Trench and Camp visited the Mili tary Police organization and was re ceived in a most kindly manner by Capt. T. E. Toul, commander of Troop A, 314 Military Police and was given the glad hand by the other officers of the command. J. L. Patton, first lieu tenant and Ross MacClanahan, sec ond lieutenant. This organization promised Its hearty support to tha army paper and Captain Toul stated that his troop would be represented in each jssue. There are good things in store for the readers of Trench and Camp. It is the policy of the paper to represent the organizations of the cantonment aa ruiiy as possime, ana now comes a headquarters bulletin giving fall recognition to the paper and arglna; its support. The bulletin says: "Th authorized cantonment paper, Trenefc and Camp, is published weekly for the purpose of furnishing 'army newsj for army men.' The paper Is dis tributed without charge to officers and men. It Is desired that each or ganizatlon contribute timely organlzst. tion news to Trench and Camp.' Regi mental commanders and commanders of separate organizations will appoint a correspondent to furnish news from time to time to Robert E. Lewis, edi tor." With a live correspondent in eaefe organization this paper has a bright future. Correspondents authorized under this division bulletin should dispatch copy to headquarters Y. M. C. A. not later than Monday night of each week. Camp Funston soldiers who visit their -homes on leave have of lata noticed a considerable change In the attitude of civilians toward the war. There i' a sober, serious spirit re placing the flippant notions of a few months ago that the war would soon be over. The home folks are settling down in deadly earnest to co-operate with the government In prosecuting the war against the Hun. It has not been so Ion since that soldiers from this camp were told that they would never see France. You don't hear that sort of thing back home any more. The sinking of the Tuscania seems to have had a considerable In fluence In sobering civilian opinion.

Actlve entrance into the war by Ja pan appears tcT hinge cn the attitude of the United States. While the gov ernment may have good and suffi cient reason for withholding its acquiescence, the average citizen, if consulted, probably would say: "Let the Japanese go." The attitude or. tne great nations of the earth toward Ja pan appears to be influenced to Borne extent either by fear or Jealousy; fear that she may dominate some section of the world now occupied by the Cau casian race; jealousy ot her growing power and importance In world af fairs. The progress of Japan can hardly be held in check by manifesta tion of this sort of feeling. Japan's desire to take a hand in straightening out the situation in Russia deserves encouragement- It must appear to the ordinary observer that any assist ance offered should be welcomed by the allies It they will turn Japan loose she probably could drive every German out of Russia in a few weeks. She might want something for her trouble but even that would be better than letting Germany have It. If the Teutons once gain a firm foothold in Russia the task of dislodging them will be a difficult one, but Japanese rule anywhere would be preferable to German rule. The Japanese at least are civilized. Thirteen million bushels of potatoes in northern Minnesota are doomed to ro; unless cars are provided to bring them to the market, according to in formation reaching Washington. It is the old story.

The railroad control bill has passed the house by almost a unanimous vote. There are but two points of difference between the house measure and the one which was adopted by the senate. One makes the time for turning the roads back to the owners two years Instead of eighteen months; the other places the rate making pow er In the hands of the president in stead of the Interstate commerce com mission. The latter only is of great importance. The I. C. C. has made such a mess cf the rate fixing business that it will be better for the country and make for efficiency in transportation serv ice, probably, if the conferees shall agree oi the house bill. The pcint over which there has been most controversy was the limit of time for the control to be exercised by the government and the bearing of such control on the policy of the fu ture. Nothing was done preparing the way for any change of policy not strictly limited to the .special war service An absolute limit of time wa set for this, but with full author ity to anticipate it so far as circum stances and conditions might Justify a shortening of the period of adjust ment to normal conditions. The senate bill provided that federal co-itrol "shall not continue longer then eighteen months after the pro clamation of peace," but before the first of July this year the president may relinquish control of any part of a railroad or of a system of transpor tation ..he further control of which he shell not deem needful or desirable. In that way there may be a reduc tion in the extent of control over the system before the first of the coming July. Any time after, that and before rha limit is anywhere in sight, he may agree with the owners to relinquish all or any part of any particular road or system. All federal control may be relinquished by the president "at any time he shall deem such action need ful or desirable." Thui the eighteen months ia simply an ultimate limit within which the control can be nar rowed or altogether relinquished ac cording to circumstances and condi tions, in the judgment of the presi dent. Further than that, there Is a spe cific declaration at the close of the measure that it is an emergency pro vision growing out of war conditions and nothing in it ia to be construed as affecting future policy or the existing laws or powers of states in relation to taxation. As a wax emergency meas ure it affects in no way the estab lished policy for the regulation of rail ways. The way will be open after the war for 'any modification of the for mer policy that the exceptional ex perience may dictate or suggest. WHO WANTS A FARM? Many years ago there could be heard a nnnulnr anti? nn Una of which ran: "Uncle Sarm' is rich enough to give us all a farm." But the times have change i and the gov ernment no longer has any desirable land to distribute except where it is made sv by a federal irrigation sys tem which demands from the recip ient of such land a good round price. It is announced from Washington that on March 29 and April 5, re spectively, two drawings will take place in western Colorado by which 12,000 acres of Irrigable land will be thrown open to settlement. The government farms .cntain from forty to eighty acres each of irrigable land, and are said to be located in two of the most beautiful mountain valleys on the western sloDe. These farms ar In cluded In two of the great irrigation systems built by the reclamation serv ice known as the Grand Vallev and Uncompahgre projects. Both valleys are well known for the attractiveness of the scenery and climate, tha fer tility of soil and the wide variety of crops grown therein. Irrigation farm ing has been practiced In both for many years, and the government lar.ds ar In the midst of well developed communities. Schools have been es tablished, roads laid out, and railroads are conveniently situated, with nu merous towns and shipping points. Most of the farms are within four miles of railway transportation and in Grand Valley many are convenient to interurban lines as well. On both projects it Is declared the new settlers will find conditions fa vorable on most of the farms for be ginning farm operations at once, with excellent prospects of fair crops this season. Many of the farm units are nearly .evel, so that the actual work at preparing the land for crop is much less than in ether desert regions where expensive clearings and leveling are necessary before crops can be sown. In order to acquire one of these farms, settlers are required to visit the land and make selection of the particular tract desired. After select ing a unit the settler must execute a water rental application with the project manager at Grand Junction foi- the Grand Valley project, and at Montrose, Colo., for the Uncom pahgre project, accompanying same with a payment of ,3 per acre for each irrigable acre in the unit applied for. At the Grand Valley opening home seekers may make application from March 23 up to and including a. m., March 2 a, to the project manager at Grand Junction. Drawing by lot for each unit will take place In the after noon. Unsuccessful applicants for these farms will have their payments re turned promptly after the drawing. The drawing for the Uncompahgre project at Montrose will occur after 9 a. m-. An,ril 6, in the local land office, and the conditions of payment will be the same as at Grand Junction. The secretary of the treasury has announced, that neither the soldiers, sailors, nor their dependents or any beneficiaries under the soldier and sailor insurance law need employ at torneys or claim agents to collect their insurance; that the employment of such Intermediaries ia ti nn and inadvisable and a needless ex-J pense. ine procedure for the pre sentation and collection of govern ment insurance claims Is very simple and the proper blanks from the bureau of war risk insur ance in Washington. The name of the person in the service who was killed or injured and the relationship which he bore to the person making the claim should.be given. If further in foimaticn or assistance is required by the claimant the bureau of war risk insurance will furnish it. January imports were valued at $235,000,000, an Increase of $7 000 -00U crer December, but exports showed a falling off of 80.000,000 from the very high figure of J584 -000.000 recorded for the same month. According to a statement issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, the imports for the seven months cf th riarot v.- j j v.,.. ciiueu Willi January were valued at ,1,634.000.000- -sainsi i,348,O00,O00 for the cor responding period of the' previous year.

It Is said that serious damage from gas attacks can be avoided If the sentries keep close watch. Is it pos sible that there is any connection be tween the recent courtmartial of four American sentries and the gas attack on the American lines? I TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HASKIN, Director, Washington, D. C THE GREAT AMERICAN GOAT. Washington. D. C, Feb. 26. The food administration recently modified the ruling denning meatless meals and meatless days so as to permit the southwestern states to eat goat meat on any day of the week. The action was taken as the result of a wide and vigorous protest from the people of those states, as they saw themselves deprived of their goat chops and spareribs without any corresponding gain to the allied cause or the food situation. The food administration ruling is no departure from the gen eral principle of the meatless day; it simply puts goat in the same class with rabbit, fish and poultry, all meats which do not enter much -into the question of long-haul transportation. The strength of the protest against banning goat meat from the menu was a striking indication of its importance as a food in a wide area of the United States. The present meat situ ation makes it probable that the goat will increase in importance rapidly in the near future, not only in the west, but all over the United States. He will face you, unless the signs are wrong, from Portland to Fensacola. The thought need give rise to no qualms, for the chances are ten to one that you have been eating and en joying him for years camouflaged as lamb or mutton. That the goat has a great future before him seems reasonably certain because the possibilities of raising goats in the United States have been comparatively less exploited than those of producing any other meat animal. Goats can be raised where nothing else can be raised, and they not only thrive, but improve the country. Cattle need a fairly level, grassy range, such as the great plains or mountain valleys. Sheep will live on a desert where cattle grow lean, and sheep will also graze hillsides too steep for cattle to get much good out of. But the goat in rough country makes the sheep look like an amateur. Agricultural expirts recognize a certain angle of topography which sets a limit to the possibilities of agri culture. In Japan, for example, they set down as non-agricultural all land with a slope steeper than fifteen per cent. Somewhat the same thing may be said to apply to grazing land. If cattle will graze anywhere that a man can walk, and sheep pasture on any hill that a man can climb, goats will range contentedly anywhere from that point up to a mountain straight up and down. Goats, moreover, prefer brush to grass for food. In conse quence of their tastes and talents, they can be pastured where neither sheep nor cattle can find food or foot hold, and they represent the only pos sible means of turning great tracts of our mountain country into meat. For some reason or other, the goat is regarded as distinctly a humorous figure in the animal world. It is hard to make the American public take him seriously. The ruling permitting the eating of goat was seized as a gem by the paragraphers, many of whom doubtless went out to luncheon after turning a neat bit of wit on it, ordered mutton, and ate goat them selves. Ever since the ancient He brews piled all their sins on a goat and turned him loose In the desert, this shrewd and hardy animal has been regarded with a certain amount of aversion. It is high time we looked the goat In the face, so to speak, and took stock of his possibilities in a world food-crisis. For the goat-raising business, while it continues to thrive, cannot well have a healthy growth so long as it is carried on un der a curtain of deceit, and the fin ished product has to masquerade as iamD or mutton. Concerning the virtues of goat meat an expert in the federal department of agriculture has this to say: "The flesh of the young Angora is delicious, altho there has been a prejudice against its use. Because of the preju dice against Angora mutton, it has almost invariably been passed over the counter as lamb. In Oregon a law has been passed making it com pulsory to label the carcass properly. That the Angora will not suffer from this is evidenced by the fact that the carcasses have been previously sold as lamb, and that the customer has been unable to detect any difference. As soon as the excellence of Angora mutton is appreciated more common ly it will undoubtedly be in greater demand and its value will be en hanced accordingly. This last apparently means' that as soon as we learn to eat. and appreciate goat meat under its own name the price will rise, but the public is get ting used to this relentless operation of a malevolent economic law. The point is that an intelligent apprecia tion of the virtues of goat as food will lead to increased production and a corresponding increase in the total meat supply, without any resulting decrease in the output of any other kind of meat. The gain will be net gain. Such a gain will be of priceless value, for the world shortage of meat grows more acute with every passing day. The liberal eating of goat flesh, even under its own name, is not at all a radical or daring departure. In many parts of the world it is the great staple meat, and where it is well known It Is often preferred to mutton. Shipload after shipload of goatskins come to America from Mexico, Cen tral America and the West Indies, each skin of the millions representing an animal raised primarily for its flesh. In our own southwestern states the goat herd is one of the prin cipal sources of support of the small Mexican rancher, and such people often prefer goat flesh to mutton. The meat of a kid roasted over the coals of a wood fire is one of the most de licious dishes imaginable and is prob ably superior to any other meat ex cept venison. The function of the goat in the economy of nations is not to compete with cattle or sheep. It is to utilize resources in pasture that would oth erwise go to waste. True, the Angora goat with its long, silky mohair, is ac tually displacing the sheep on certain southwestern ranges, but a point of balance will be reached, apparently, before the goats form any great pro portion of the totaj livestock. On the other hand, the goats actually prefer mountain ranges that are too rough and cold for very successful sheep raising. The varied talents of the goat also make it profitable to raise him in many places where no other form of livestock would pay. His taste for eating brush has led to his wide util ization as a means of clearing brushy larfd that has been cut over by the lumber mills. In the northwestern states, it is estimated that there are "DBAFTED." A drafted man? Why sure I am. You've got me. that s my case; Brought In to fight for Uncle Sam, Say whataya mean disgrace?

The goats turn It Into farm land, mut ton and mohair at a single operation. This scheme has been extensively and successfully tested in California. An interurban railway on the Pacific coast not long ago purchased a flock of goats to keep the right-of-way clear of weeds and brush. In Arizona, goats are being used on forest reserves to keep down fire risk by eating brush. Besides being able to graze on mountains too steep for other live stock, and making their daily meals a means t.f preventing fires and clearing farm land, the females of the species can be made valuable milk animals, and the skin of certain varieties fur nishes the lightest and toughest of leather. The pressure of the meat shortaga, in consequence of which ev ery available means of increasing the supply will be utilized, renders It quite certain that the goat will play a part of increasing prominence in American life.

A OEEO EVEIEY DAY Brave Deeds of Men In America's Fighting Service) The honor of being the first naval reservist to receive a medal of honor belongs to Tedford H. Cann, seaman, a crat k swimmer and all around ath lete, the son of the physical director of New York university. This is the third medal which the secretary of the navy has awarded in the present war. Cann was serving on a United State patrol vessel, the May, when the ship was found to be flooded. Cann'2 prompt action saved the ship, tho he himself risked imminent danger of drowning.. 'Efforts were made to keep the ship afloat by pumping but without avail. Entering a flooded compartment and finding a small leak. Cann emerged and procuring two corks returned to the compartment and closed the leak. With his brother. Howard Gann, last year's captain of the New York university football team, Tedford Cann enlisted in the naval reserves at Bensonhurst, L. I., last April. Cann holds the 500-yard swimming championship of America. Secretary Daniels says that the navy now means business. He has been working upon the plans for the best navy in the world, and he com pares the various stages of this growth to Geraldine's pastime. "The young lady," said Secretary Daniels, "had plucked a daisy out of a vase, and picking the petals one by one, murmured: 'William means good, James means beloved, Richard means cour ageous, George George means 'Well, daughter,' said the mother, 'let us hope that George means busi ness. Private Simpkins had returned from the front to find, that his girl had been walking out with another young man, and naturally asked her to explain her frequent promenades in the town with the gentleman. "Well, dear," she replied, "it was only kindness on his part. He just took me down every day to the li brary to see if you were killed." GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.

One of the curious evolutions of modern life is the decay of sentiment among women. Women are fast be coming the practical sex, and it be gins to look as if the old fashioned woman "who lived only In her .emo tions and who viewed the world thru a pink veil of romance would soon be as extinct as the dodo. A thousand little proofs of the de cadence of sentiment in women force themselves on one's attention. Take novels, for instance. Novels are writ ten mostly for women and by wom en, and they reflect women's point of view at every period. Compare the heroines of the old school of fiction -the Belindas, and Evelinas, and Amelias, who simply exude sentiment at every pore, with the strenuous heroine of the modern hovel, and you will have a standard by which to gauge how far women have gotten away from the mushy ideals of other days. No novelist now would dare to rep resent his heroine as nursing a broken heart, or pining away and dying of blighted affections, or even suffering and being strong, because women wouldn't have her at any price. They are out of sympathy with that state of mind. They would regard that sort of woman as a flabby, spineless, weak minded chump, who wasn't worth even reading about. What interests women in Action is a heroine who sees things fairly and squarely, and even unconventionally, who grapples with, problems of real life, and who makes something out of her life even if it has had the misfor tune to be marred in places. There must be a love story, of course, but the love story is a Bide issue, not the vital thing. The theater, which is also largely supported by women, shows the same indifference to sentiment. The most successful plays of late years have been the problem plays,, and plays of action, not those that depended whol ly on sentiment. Women are the most enthusiastic Shawites and Ibsenites whose appeal Is always to the intel lect, and not the heart. Two other straws that show which way the winds of feminine tempera ment blow are the fact that women have ceased to swoon, and almost ceased to weep. The sweet Alice Ben Bolts "who wept with delight when you gave them a smile, and trembled with fear at your frown" left no progeny behind them. The days when this emotionalism was thought inter esting are passed. A Voman who can't control herself now considers herself the victim of hysteria, and hustles oil to the nearest nerve specialist for treatment, because she realizes that she's an object of derision with other wonien. Women have just aa many causes to weep and to be unhappy as they ever had. At this particular period of -.he world's history they have more cause for tears than they ever had before, God pity them, but every where they have met a tragic situation with heroism. "They have packed up their- trou bles la their old kit bag," and sent their men away with smiles. And they have gone about their daily af fairt with quiet bravery, instead of posing as martyrs, as the overly senti mental woman of the past did when she haC anything hard to enduri. One of the interesting phases of this fall off and decline in sentiment among women, as Mr. Wegg would say, is that It makes them take a totaliv different view of men and mat rimony. The poet who write that "Love was of man's life a thing apart, 'tis wo man's v'aole existence," expressed the condition of affairs at a time when women lived only in their sentiments. If he were writing now he would have a very different story to tell. Love isn't the whole of the modern woman's existence by a long shot. It is a beautiful annex, but itlsn't the entire structure. If love comes to her she is glar1 of it, but If Cupid fails to knock at the door she can get along very corrlortably without it, thank you. Probably all girls still look forward to getting married, and every woman would prefer to marry if she could j find her ideal, but they are In no hurry about doing it. Nothing is more common than to hear even young girls speak of dread ing to get married, even when they are in love, because they hate to give up their personal liberty. Working women in especial, who earn good salaries acknowledge that they have no inclination whatever towards mat rimony. "What could a husband give me that I don't have?" a professional woman who makes a fine income said to me recently in discussing an offer of marriage that she had- received. I suggested the conventional thing about loneliness and companionship, and the protecting care of a husband, to which she replied that she wasn't lonely, and furthermore that no one knew when they were getting a hus band whether his companionship would be agreeable or not. or even v hether he was going to protect his wife, or she would have to support him. Of course women are going to fall in love and marry, when the right man conies along. The decline of sentiment in the sex Isn't going to de cline enough to prevent that, but they are going to pick out their husbands in the future with their heads as well as their hearts. The ladies who died of broken hearts because they were jilted by faithless swains, and who spent forty or fifty years weeping over a pack of yellow letters, have no imitators now. Nor do they appeal to their sisters as romantic figures. On the contrary, they have such a contempt for the love-lorn that It stings her into bracing herself up and keeping quiet if she does not adopt the up-to-date tactics of the forsaken, and sue for damages to her heart. And bad and vulgar as a breach of promise suit is, it is better for a woman than it is to waste her life grievins over a man who wasn't worth it. Even the deserted wife, who surely has cause if anyone has, to indulge in self pity, is beginning to take a less sentimental and more practical view of her situation. In proof of this wit ness the case of the Iowa woman who recently went to her rival and offered to give that lady a quit claim deed on her husband for $14.75 which she frankly told the other was an extrava gant price to pay for such a man. Undoubtedly, theincrease in divorce Is largely due to women beginning to look on marriage from a practical In stead of a sentimental standpoint. They used to gild the matrimonial fet ter with sentiment, and that enabled them to endure any kind of treatment rather than break it. There was also a halo about a husband that more or less Justified him even In being cruel and tyrannical. The woman could not imagine a life in which she would have to stand alone, and so she stuck to an unhappy married life as being the better of two evils. That was the sentimental point of view. The practical one is that man is human, and marriage a contract, that If the marriage yoke galls unen durably. and the husband proves a brute, the wife has a right to free her self from them. There were just as many unhappy wives in the past as the present, but the sentimental woman bore her wrong, and the un sentimental one got a divorce. And in the loss of sentiment among women Is bound up a great ethical problem. (Copyrighted. 1917, by The Wheeler Syndi cate. Ine.J ON SPUR the MOMENT i BY BOY K. MOCLTOM George Wauihiiiffton.

(Copyright, 1918, by KcClure Newspaper Syndicate.) He put his paper aside abruptly, rose and walked down the leaf-strewn path to the other bench, where the girl was sitting. v "Would you like to try an experi ment?", he asxed quietly, standing with hat In hand before her. She looked at him for a moment unsmiling, her expression neither in viting nor repelling. "Perhaps," she said at length. He sank into the seat beside her. "It is something I have often wanted to try," he said slowly. "Here are we two, perfect strangers in a city of five millions, and never likely to see each other again after we leave this chance meeting place. We have sat here for half an nour, each pretending to read, or to watch the squirrels, or the fall ing leaves, or the misty golden sun shine out there on the field, but each examining and appraising the other when the other waan t looking. "Now, this is the experiment: We have each gained a strong first im pression o the other. Let us, with absolutely frankness, tell each other what those Impressions are. Let us do what friends cannot do speak without reservations, made for fear of hurting each other's feelings." She sat without speaking for a mom.nt after he had finished, gazing thoughtfully out at the warm expanse of autumn-tinted park. "But why?" she asked at last. "I am not sure that Burns was right. Perhaps it is Just as well that we can't see ourselves as others see us." "That," he said, "makes it an ex periment. It will be a new experi ence. I want to know exactly how I look in the eyes of a stranger, how ever much the knowledge may hurt. Have you ever felt that way!" "Yes," she said, "I have. Every one does, I think." "Well, I'll tell you. If you will do as much for me." Again she hesitated and sat silently watching a gray squirrel that, un troubled by self-consciousness, was busy burying a nut.' v "Well," she said finally, "you first." "The fact that I came over here and proposed- this experiment to you at all shows that I thought you a sen sible giil," he began slowly. "You impressed me as being neither a prude nor a flirt. You are pretty I don't need to tell you that but it has not spoiled you. You are rather thought ful and studious, and you have a gen uine feeling for the beauties of na ture something which too many girls just pretend to have. You are not above. I believe, taking an Interest In babies and embroidery, altho you know what Is going on about you in the world and read something besides the woman's page in the newspapers. You don't work for your living, and your home is one of the comfortable houses in the Seventies. You see a good deal of the society side of life, but you keep healthfully busy at ser ious things. You are probably a suf fragist In a quiet way, and you are also interested in some form of social or philanthropic work, which you do not treat as an heroically assumed duty. And He was interrupted by the girl's low laughter. "Why not say that I have all the good qualities, and be done with it?" she asked. "Your Impres sion is certainly not very accurate. Let's see if I can do better. "You, it seems to me, have many of the excellent qualities that you are attributing to me. You are nothing of a 'sport,' but are a rather serious minded young man, somewhat too much given to introspection. You are not bad looking, and you impress me as having a good deal of common sense. You are about twenty-five, and you are one of our rising young professional men an architect, per haps, or an engineer of some sort. You reaU a good deal, and, when it comes to newspapers, something besides the sporting pages. You are rather do mestic by nature, and you have a sense of humor. You also live in one of the better homes in the Seventies ori the Eighties, and you are a confirmed New Yorker. There, how is that for a snapshot portrait?" He die not answer at once, and they both sat silently for a few minutes, i Presently he said gloomily: "My experiment has failed, I'm afraid." "Of course," she assented gently. "It was bound to. It shows of how little worth a first impression is anyway. You wondered if the defects that you see in yourself were apparent to oth ers, and you are half disappointed that they are not, fo" you do not like the idea of wearing a mask. Isn't that it?" "Yes." "And yet you must have known, except in moments of self-depreciation, that you make a favorable first impression; and I know that I do. conceited aa that may sound." "All right." He straightened up abruptly. "Then we come to the sec ond part of this experiment. We will now tell just how badly each of us is mistaken." "Well she hesitated. "We can try it, but that also is a pretty hard thing to do." "Listen to me first." he answered, "while I tell you what a poor judge of character at first glance you are. I may have a sense of humor, but It doeun'trork very well. I am gloomy, pess'mlstlc and am rapidly developing Into a chronic grouch. I am not one of our rising young professional men; I am a clerk In a large mercantile house, and there hasn't been anything startling in my rise yet. I may have common sense, but it doesn't keep me making a fool of myself about half the time. I lack purpose and deter mination. I may be domestic by na ture, but that's all the good It does me. So far from living in a brown-ston- house in the Eighties am I that I live in a single room down in the Twenties. I come from Michigan and am a comparative stranger in New York. I read a good deal, it Is true, and you are right about the sporting page, but I don't believe that I ever had ar. original idea In my life. And well, I might go on at considerable length, but how do you like the re touchec. portrait so far?" The girl was laughing at him again. "I think the portrait none the worse, said she; "especially since you are clearly in a mood for self-disparagement. Let me alter your portrait of me a little. I hope that I am sensible. I'm not a flirt, but--I'm not so sure that I am not conceited. I like babies and embroidery, but I'm not interested in charitable work and I do read the woman's pages in the newspapers. I don't live In a brownstone house In the Eighties, either, but have a room up in the One Hundred and Eighties. I earn my living by teaching a class of little Greek, Italian and Russian children down in an East side school, and I don't move In any ther society. I have a bad temper. ITn afraid my pupils suffer a good deal at times. No doubt, I am more studious than most girls, but I like the movies and candy and all sorts of frivolous things very much. Now, how do you like the re touching?" "Well." he .admitted gravely, "I rather think it improves the portrait; it makes it so much more human." They fell silent again, watching the sunshine on the celored trees. "You are quite right about ona thing." siad the girl presently. "I love the trees and the fields and the sky. I waa brought up in the country, and I don't believe I could stand it here in these endless miles of brick and stone. If it were not for the park." "I come here often myself," the maa said. "Do you?" "Every Sunday afternoon. I llk this spot best of all; the view is so beautiful." "So do I." The sun had left the trees and they could see the lights of the city twin kling like brilliant stars. "Do you know," said the man, ris ing. "I think my experiment Is not going to be a failure, after all, tho it has not resulted as I expected. "Perhaps it won't be," answered the girl quietly. There was a moments pause. Then; I will say only good-night," he said. "Good-night," she answered. He turned and walked along the darkening path. As he reached the bend he broke into a cheerful whistle. The girl, smiling, walked briskly away. She was wondering what she would wear next Sunday afternoon, and he was trying to decide if It would be wise to taka a box of candy with him.

THE TOPEKA DATLY STATE JOURNAL-SATURDAY, EVENING, MARCH 2, 1918 13 IN STATE POLITICS War Fails To Keep Down Pre Tailing Interest in Kansas. ew Mores on Checkerboard Are Being Made Daily. FOR GOVERNOR AND SENATOR Main Fight Is Made Around These Big Contests. Several Candidates To Open Headquarters Soon. World war with its horrors and sacrifice and Buffering won't keep the spotlight off the political battle in Kansas. A political war is the state's biennial heritage. Kansas is loyal and patriotic in the war crisis. But she won't surrender a birthright even to think only of war. So Kaneias politi- ians are lying awake nights-' and breaming of the moves on the political checker board in the coming pri maries. Thire are two battles that will keep Republican enthusiasm at a high pitch this summer. One Is the sena torship. Thi other is the guberna torial contest. To be sure, the Demo crats may trail along with a little senatorial fight of their own. But the nm nrimarv show will be under the Republican tent with stars of many! previous campaigns as lop -tractions

Several candidates will open head quarters in Topeka in a few days. It Is the preliminary move in organizing the state in the senatorial and gover norship fights. It is also the early oprinK drive which will increase the Tcpeka postal receipts. Fight Around Capper. Looking at the senatorship as the Issues are shaping at this time, the fight will be made around Governor Capper. It is the organization of a movement to beat Capper which will give lite and cclor to the senatorship in Kansas next August. It was this movement which brought "Walter Ros coe Ptubbs into the running. It is the effort of Stubbs and Charles F. Scott to corrall the anti-Capper vote which row threatens to split the Capper op position. Of course, Joseph I Bris tow will be in the race. But on the surface, at least, he is not considered a real factor. Governor Capper with his multipli city of publications and his state pat ronage following is unquestionably the man with whom the opposition must reckon. Yet the Capper opposi tion have sat In the hotel lobby seats in the last few weeks and rubbed their hands in childish glee. They had brought to Topeka the word that Cap. per was slipping. So the warriors put a new hitch in their belts and went to look for more recruits. Charles F. Scott has been in the senatorial race more than a year. Whether Scott's strength would have developed to sufficient proportions to have finished neck and neck with Capper in the primaries is problemati cal. The fight seemed to be up in the air. Then Stubbs came into the race. The Scott followers have contended that the entrance of Stubbs crippled Capper. The Capper forces have urged that Stubbs has split the Capper opposition. Stubbs' friends have con tended that he has drawn sufficiently from both Capper and Scott to have given him the ground plan of an or ganization which can win in August. Stubbs a Favorite. In Wichita this week Stubbs was without doubt the favorite before the cattlemen's convention. Stubbs was president of the organization. It was the red fox's big show. It was his op portunity to shower red fire. And his friends made the most of the oppor tunity. In the meantime Scott is out Working. BristoW is busy with that silent element which is opposed to the war program and which may mean much or nothing in the primaries. As for Capper his 57 varieties of publica tions never forget to mention the gov ernor. The cogs in the state machin ery are working quite smoothly. The poultry clubs and the pig clubs are busy. And there you are. Lack of Publicity. One element of power in a state wide primary may cripple Stubbs and Mein der son Heine: First comes der Red Cross,1 den der Y. M. C. Q., likewise der Salva tion Army, all asking for money, und den I gedt a letter from vou vich jompletea der list und I am gebusted. Howefer hermit iss der check. Say, Heine, I vant to ask vouldt you blease do for me a favor. Kindly ask vun off dose highly edumacation ed skollege professores vill he blease readt der bapers und kindly wrotten me und say vot iss all dot foolish ment about in Russia. Sometimes I think dot I haff brains, und again I know dot I dont got some. Der ac tion iss to quick for der average feller to keep oop mit. First comes reports dot Russia iss all for der Allies, al though der country iss full oop mit German spies; den comes reports dot der Czar gedts gekicked in der pants, und dot der Bolsheviki iss in control; den der Bolsheviki und anoder bunch off red flag waffing I. W. W.s gedt mixed oop in a fight, und der coun try again changes hands, und now since efery political pary und fran chise grabbing bunch in Russia haff hadt a whack adt each oder und dere iss no longer any competition pe cause all competitors haff been killed, und dere Iss no longer any party for der Oder party to fight mit dot hass nodt already hadt their turn adt fight ing, dey are importing der Cherman s Army, und all hands vill choin 'roundt 11 u t lint I Meii:uiiic iifiiii ti I V 11 f r mans. Now dot iss vot I dont know, Heine. From vot hass happened, und vot iss now happening, how shouldt a sold cher off Russia act? Shouldt V- shoot a Cherman ven de sees him, or shouldt he shake hands mit him? ldt iss too mooch for your Papa, Bristow. They lack publicity. There! is no party publication of state wide circulation positively behind their candidacy. Governor Capper has enough publicity to float a, liberty bond issue. Scott is far more fortu nate than either Stubbs or Bristow. He has the support of several small town dailies and a number of week lies. Pretty War for Governor. Then there is the governorship. There is a fight as spectacular and beautiful as any politician might wish. It is a real serious, honest to goodness fight, too. There isn't a bit of play ing for the picture receipts. Every heat is a race and every film is a show of its own. Just at this time and for some time past, the steam has been behind the Henry J. Allen candidacy. Behind Al len is a combination of elements sel dom assembled in a Kansas cam paign. He has a campaign organiza tion that includes scores of prominent men and women of .both factions in the party. He has publicity. He has organization. Like Capper and Stubbs, Henry J. Allen is almost a household wdrd. And back of all these elements is that spirit of undying loyalty and fidelity that is often a power in a poli tical campaign. Allen is in France for the Red Cross. He won't be home for the pri mary campaign. If nominated, he may not be home Until after the No vember election. Allen is the most powerful campaign orator in Kansas. But his friends are making the fight for him. The late Morton Albaugh organized the fight. And Albaugh 8 friends and Allen's friends are work ing days and nights. S. M. Brewster, attorney general, has unquestionably gained strength in the last few weeks. Brewster's excel lent record in the state house as at torney general and as a legislator have been remembered in many localities. Brewster makes a great speech. His publicity, tho, has come only thru routine news sources. In the campaign for W. Y. Morgan are a number of politicians. He has considerable publicity. But Morgan's tendency to work with several sides and opposing factions in previous campaigns has failed to win enthusi asm for his cause in many localities. Nor have his former rewards been forgotten his two terms as lieutenant governor and the 1 100,000 state print ership being yet fresh memories. Troutman a Good Man. James A. Troutman of Topeka came into the governorship fight late. But Troutman's activities for the party in former years have given him a posi tive following. Troutman shouldered much of the burden in the reorgani zation of the party after the 1912 smashup. In Topeka and in Shawnee county Troutman is building a strong organization. Outside Topeka he will have the active support of many men with whom he has been associated in former years. But Troutman's pub licity sources are limited. He started late. For A. M. Keene of Fort Scott, po litical dopesters see an uncertain way. He was speaker of the house when he announced his candidacy Kansas day, 1917. The Keene enthusiasm probably attained its highest pitch that day. Without publicity, an ex tensive statewide acquaintance or a seemingly effective organization. Keene's stock never went to panicky7 pitches, tie has been mentioned as a Second district congressional candi date and as a possible successor to the late Senator Barr of Bourbon county. He has contended, tho, he will stay in the governorship fight to the finish. Headquarters Here. There is any amount of opportunity for speculation as to the outcome of the two big fights. Both contests will grow hot and furious long before mid summer. And any guess may be a fairly good guess as conditions indi cate at this time. Both the Stubbs and Allen forces will open headquarters here in a few days. The Capper headquarters have never closed. The Scott fight is being directed from Iola. Both Brewster and Troutman are directing a mail order campaign from here. In addi tion to the main Topeka office, the Allen supporters will maintain a branch office in Wichita. The Morgan campaign is directed from Hutchin son, with literature supplied from a few state house departments by ardent and zealous supporters. Doesn't Seek Re-election. Washington, March 2.

The light fades into darkness; The moon with misty ray Shines down upon the water Where trembling shadows stray. A song floats o'er the water Like a voice from days gone by, Then dies away in silence Where somber woodlands lie. A boat is idly drifting Bearing a man and maid Out of the prosy day-world To the dream-world love has made, And thru the misty moonlight Love's soundless music swells Borne in from the dreamy distance Where life's deep secret dwells. and a sacred concert and mass meet ing for the general public.

This is not a Flower story but I am sure you will like it. Once upon a time there was a Mother Deernd a little Boy Deer. This little Boy Deer had a reddish brown coat, and there wers white spots all over him and he had such big ears. These two were wandering thru the Woods and it was very warm. The Mother Deer said to the little Boy Deer: "I am very warm so I think I will go down to the Lake and splash in the water. I wish you would lie down beside this tree, and don't move till I come back, as I .ish to be very sure where you are." The little Boy Deer smiled and said to his Mother: "Yes, Mother. I will mind you." So he lay down beside the tree. The Mother Deer went down to the Lake and splashed around in the wa ter, she Kime out again and ran along the shore, then into the water and out a?ain th-ee or four times, having such a good time. After the Mother Deer had gone the little Boy Deer lay quietly- beside the tree for a long time and there was no sound but the moving of the Leaves as they were blown about by the Wind. Then a Bear came along, end saw the little Boy Deer, and stop ped and said to him: "Come out here and play awhile." But the little Boy Deer said: "No, I cannot do that for of the Past Week By Bolmar TUESDAY. Women farmers and gardeners lined up for grand campaign against autocracy. w SATURDAY.

The Bear said: "Never mind 'your Mother, sho isn't here; just come out and play, she won't know anything about it anyway." The little Boy Deer answered: "But I must mind my mother." Then the Bear came up to him and tried to pull him out of the place where he was lying. Just then the Mother Deer came back and saw the Bea;-: and ran up to him and cuffed his ears, and struck him with her feet. Then the Bear started to run away and the Mother Deer ran after him, tho Bear going just as fast a3 he could and the Deer striking at him all the way. The Bear ran down a path thru the Woods and there just ahead of him was a deep hole in the ground. He leaped into this and it was so deep that the Deer could not reach him. Then the Mother Deer went back and found the little Boy Deer and rubbed her snf nose against him and licked his soft fur in love. He was Flad to see her too for he had been very much frightened. Then they wandered off together thru the Woods, eatine; Leave J and Grass and the ten der Bark upon the low growing Rushes.

MILLIONS IN GARBAGE Food Department Bureau to Convert Refuse Into War By-Products. Washington, March 2. Thirteen million pounds of kitohen refuse in the United States every year is to be utilized to win the war. Plans being formulated by the gar bage utilization division of the food administration provide for extraction cf glycerine, soaps, fats, grease and fertilizer from garbage. A survey of methods in 780 cities is now under way. The yearly garbage waste of an average American family of four, ac cording to the food administration, can l e converted into 34 pounds of nitroglycerin, and fifty cakes of soap, as well as supplying other valuable by-products. Fertilizer sufficient to produce three bushels of wheat also can re taken from waste from the same family table. Rate from twenty-nine states shows last yearns garbage valued at more than $11,000.000. DISCUSS LABOR PROBLEMS. Farmers of Barton County Meet at Great Bend Today. Great Bend. Kan., March 2. The labor Si tuation in Barton county is. the subject of discussion at a meeting at the Great Bend Chamber of Com merce this afternoon. It was expect ed that a large representation of farmers and business men of the coun ty would attend. E. E. Frizell. federal labor director for the i-tate, is attending the confer ence. Plans were to be outlined for securing farm hands for the spring and summer work. SHE HAS SPIRIT; Little Tot Begs Papers To Help the Bed Cross. Many Like Her Do What They Can To Help. THEY KEEP UP U. S. MORALE Many Poorly Paid Toilers GlTe to the War Causes. Death Means Nothing to Boys They Are Backing Up. "Please and have you any old papers that I can have so I can belong to the Red Cross and can I get them now. All of us girls are goin' to belong to the Red Cross and we has to gather old papers to get enough money." The statement was somewhat breathless and incoherent, but the eyes of the little girl glistened with fervor, and her tones were earnest and took for granted that everyone would do every one's part toward winning the war. The conversation as set forth took place at a house on the West side, and the little girl got her old papers, about five arm loads and she is now a member in, good standing of the Junior Red Cross. Of course, the conversation was one sided, but what can a householder say to a little girl who is so desirous of becoming a "Red Crosser" that she will go out and beg old papers from the neighbors, and for that matter, from persons she has never seen before. It is this fever to do some part in the world war that will have the greatest effect on the soldiers of the United States in keeping up their morale, "the thought to win," as Doc tor Kulp calls it. The highest and the lowest, all have this desire, and ex press it in various ways, nearly all of them by the little emblem of the Red Cross that one sees on nearly every lapel or vest or waist in the country. Many Toilers Give Mite. Age nor youth show no lessening of the desire to serve in the war to the utmost" of their ability, and many is tne poor om washerwoman and hard working old man who shovels snow and cuts the grass who has given his dollar and his quarters to swell the wai- treasury of the nation at war for democracy and freedom for all men everywhere. In the fall of 1914 the world stood aghast at the spectacle of a mere handful of courageous Belgians hold ing off the millions the Germans mass ed for the attack. France threw her legions Into the field with all possible speed, and the crosses of St. Andrew and St. George crossed the English channel over the fy?ads of that "first hundred thousand" Britons to take up the gauge of battle. Germany ad vanced almost to the Paris goal, was halted over night and the great war machine was hurled back on Its haunches at the Battle of the Marne. Then the enslavement and the horror and the reign of frightfulness began, typifying to the world the ultimate in the creed of Kultur. Laden passenger vessels were sent to the bottom with out warning. Whole Nation Aroused. President Wilson wrote notes and tried to sway the ruthless and reck less Hun to the path of honor. He failed i-i this and issued an ultimatum, "You will stop or fight." Germany did not stop. America declared war, and the Stars and Stripes were added to the clustered colors of the allied nations of the world. And now even the little children, the old men, the women, the young and hardy warrior, the clenr-eye'l railor of the western world have all joined hands in the common cause of Liberty.

Selling of Thrift Stamps an In cident at the Show. HE HAD NO MONEY IN POCKETS So Boy Scout Called at His Office Next Day. Great Work Is Being Done by Local Organization. Arms outstretched and between his fingers the small green thrift stamps that the government is so concerned over, he came down the aisle at the Grand theater the night Otis Skinner appeared. A boy scout in full uni form and doing his bit to help out ia the war. He was what the English call "carrying on." The scout came to where a gray haired man was sitting in an aisle seat. Said the boy scout, "Will you take a thrift stamp, sir?" "Wiy. I Just got in from Kansas City," declared the man, "and I have only car fare home left in my pocket." Nothing daunted the boy scout so he asked, "Where do you work? If you will buy one of me I will be more than glad to bring it to your office tomorrow "Well, son," assented the man, "I will take one if you will bring it to me at the Central National bank to morrow." "I'll be there. Who shall I ask for, sir." "Well, when you come in you tell the first man you see that you have an appointment with Mr. Burrow." Ho Was Rewarded. The scout knew J. R. Burrow by reputation as president of the bank and felt sure that he had made a bad break, but nevertheless he kept the appointment and sold the thrift stamps. This is the .type of boys that the scoutcraft is developing and it is this type of boy who, according to Charles S. Elliott, chairman of the Shawnee county thrift stamp campaign, will bear the brunt of the reconstruction in places of trust and importance. Elliott firmly believes in the effi ciency of the scouts as salesmen and he sent them out on the streets of Topeka today to sell Hie thrift stamps to the shoppers and to the Santa Fe employes at liberty on their weekly half day off. The boys have already sold more than eighteen hundred dol lars' worth of the stamps, and ac cording to a number of them they fully expect the sale today to bring the total well over the two thousand I dollar mark.

But this is certainly an opportune time to find money while the family is chang ing its place of residence. Was there ever a woman who even cleared out a dresser drawer without wishing that she might find some long lost change? And I'm sure that there never was one who while moving into a new home didn't feel the need of finding some. Judg, John Stelk of the court of do mestic relations in his report of his work in that capacity in Chicago made a bold commentary upon birth con trol an., an attack upon organized charity and a realistic portrayal of the causes which bring young girls and wives into his court. He proclaimed the right of the poor overburdened mother to "guard against another mouth to feed" by the possession of the same knowledge "that la given out every day to her sisters in the higher walks of life." "I do not hesitate to say," he stat ed, "that it is a thing of sheer bru tality to compel a physically debili tated wife to further burden herself ana society with defective offspring aside from the almost criminal short comings with attendant misery visited upon the latter. "I am of the opinion that some day the entire question will be considered by the lederal government." Judga Stelk then scored young wo men social workers who had come face to face with abject poverty and have found their delicate senses too shocked to permit any other emotion thrn a leeling of hopeless horror. Of the younger offenders who found their way into his court the judge said: "Kxtravagance is to be blamed. Boys and girls are led to believe they are entitled to wear outrageously priced clothing. With girls of today dresses have become gowns. With the boys they are belted 'gents' en riching the cigaret trust. "Of the many war victims," he said, "the must pitiable is the girl the sol dier le'.t behind without a wedding ring an.l with a baby to support. So fa as I know, the government has done nothing to solve this problem." THE IaETTER OP A DEBUTANTE. Dear S. R.: Aren't the new spring stvles lust adorable? We have been trying on hats and suits for the last few days and some of the girls have already decided exactly what they are going to wear when they "step out" with their best beaux, that is, those whose best friends and fiances have not gone to war, on the first warm Sunday. Sometimes it seems almost wicked to think about clothes during thir. time, but why shouldn't those of us who can't go to war and be heroes trv to Took well enough so that we won't emphasize the gloominess of the times in our appearances? But speaking of clothes did you see that good looking leather coat worn on the street this week by one of the well-known women of the town? It was trimmed around the bottom with fur and had a huge fur collar. The woman who wore it has a great deal of style and showed it off to the proper advantage. There are a great many of the so ciety and college girls taking short hand this winter. Margaret Ray has finished her course and has a posi tion. Among those down at shorthand school now are Ruth Foster, Isabel Stewart, Mrs. Torrence Ewart, Helen Crawford, Emily Seary, Ruth Koester, Ann West and Helen Reinbach. Some one, we suppose it must have been some "grouch" among the col lege men. got out a small pamphlet known around the sorority houses as tho "y3ilow journal," a few days ago. In the small paper almost all the sorority girls in school are roasted and some of them disgracefully so. It says that there are only two sensible girls in the college, one a freshman and the other a senior. We wonder if these two sensible girls are the two attract ive sisters, one of whom is a senior and the other a freshman. It singles out the prettiest and most popular girls in school and roasts them in a way which is more crude than clever. The !d fashioned statement that a woman can't keep a secret haa been proven false. A certain pretty young society matron carried a secret in which half the town would have -been Interested for six weeks, and not even hinted j' to a living soul. Oh, yes, the secret came out, but it was not thru her, wliL-h proves that at least some w. men ran keep secrets, sometimes. Didn't the women do exceptionally Laundering of every description.

Their quota was only $t,000 end they have, I suppose by the time this letter reaches you, raised $2,500. They had almost that much yQiterda. Mrs. Marburg's team raised the most, I believe, with Mrs. Johnston's team as a close second. And, by the way, they say those wo men in that campaign certainly know how to raise money.

Last night. Bernice Hemus gave a Recital in the High School auditorium to an audience of at least six hundred people, and proved herself a young pianist of great ability, with technic of which many a matured performer might well be envious. She played thru long program with out music and did so seemingly with out the least trouble; her manner of interpreting her classic and modern numbers showed good schooling and a clear understanding of the meaning of the many composers represented. Mr. Muller made an appeal to those present to help the young people of Topeka in the building up of an or chestra for the purpose of providing more music for the community; he stated that we need an organization of our own as our girls and boys have to help bear the burdens of the com munity and should be given a chancs to prove to their friends what they can do and are willing to do. Miss Ella Thresher, soprano, sang two numbers and showed good style and a beautiful voice; she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Thresher of Berryton and a former pupil of Mr. Muller, now taking voice lessons of Mrs. John Griley. A delightful number on the pro gram was a two piano, eight-hand number played by Bernice Hemus, Ruth Auerbach, Marjorie Hemus and Mrs. Muller; they were recalled and played another one: their ensemble was very good and the expression was extra fine. Aj a compliment to Miss Hemus the boy scouts postponed their meet ing which was to be held last night and attended the recital in a body. Mr. and Mrs. Hulbert Terkes enter tained at dinner one day this week at the hotel where they are living in Los Angeles. Cal. There guests were Mr. and Mrs. Boh Wagner and Mr. and Mrs. George Ellinwood Funnell of San Francisco. Mrs. Wagoner was for merly Miss Florence Welch and Mrs. Funnell, Miss Elizabeth Holiday, beth of Topeka. Mrs. Funnell was in Los Angeles with her husband, who made a business trip down there. Mr. and Mrs. Wagoner also entertained Mr. and irs. Funnell and Mr. and Mrs. Terki-s at dinner at their home. Mr. and Mrs. Wagoner have a handsome new touring car. A letter was received this week from one of the secretaries at Camp Fun ston entitled "over the top with four thousand sandwiches," and telling of the making of the four thousand sand wiches which the T. W. C. A. of the camp promised the Y. M. C. A. for th.i reception which they gave when ex-President Taft waa at the came last week. "Four thousand sandwiches is four thousand slices of bread," remarked one of the boys, "and four thousand slices of bread is some bread." Hp was right, even more right than we realized at the time. Four thousand slices of bread is some bread, enough butter to butter these four thousand slices is some butter and enough sand wich filler to fill those four thousand sandwiches is some filler. Little did we reck when we heard of ex-President Taft's arrival what it would mean to us. Even when we heard that the Hostess House had undertaken to supply the T. M. C. A. with four thousand sandwiches for the reception they were giving to the officers at Camp Funston in honor of Taft, we merely thought that it would be very nice. When Miss Kempton, our cafeteria director, announced that she would need our help we be gan to realize the situation but its fill gravity did not burst upon us un til we actually saw the long table in the closed in porch part of the cafe teria. Six of the little tables had Been put together and covered with long sheets of brown paper tacked down with thumb tacks to keep it from blowing away in the Kansas gale that came in every tinfe we opened a win dow to let out a little of the odor of melted butter and "filler." At one end of the table were several large boxes, one or two sheets of paper and a huge knife. At the other end were boxes and baskets of bread, two huge bowls of melted butter with paint brushes and one huge dish of filler. The rest rest of the table was taken up with knives and plates. Out in the cafeteria proper the vol unteer hostesses were folding nap kins two thousand of them as the rest of us marched blithely by to our fate. As I said, when we beheld the table we began to realize what lay before us, but our anticipations were pale beside the dreadful reality. At first we laughed and joked as we took our places at the command of the cafeteria director, and wondered which one of us would make the sand wich for ex-President Taft. Two of us buttered the bread, which was con stantly supplied us from the kitchen. Three or four or five as many as we could .get. in fact spread slices of bread with filler; one person fitted (as nearly as possible) buttered slices of bread with fillered slices of bread and they were passed to the end of the table, where a secretary with rolled-up sleeves wielded the huge knife and cut them in two. Then the packer counted and arranged them in variqus assorted boxes. Under this svstetn the work progressed very rap idly. Still four thousand sandwiches are some and noon saw us only some five hundred along.. Lunch found our spirits slightly diminished. We no longer asked to have the "lame ducks" passed around, but we still laughed and Joked as we spread and spread and spread and painted and painted and painted and cut and cut and cut. Two or three of our workers were called away as we reached eight hun dred and those of us who were left realized that a Ions; hard afternoon lay ahead of us. The sun beat down upon the roof, the room was full of the odor of melted butter and sand wich filler, yet every time we opened a window, the Kansas wind swept in, bearing with it a generous quantity of Kansas dust- Conversation was limited to, "We need more bread," "Please see if Richards has any more filler," "'Mrs. Lannigan, how many are there now?" After a time we ran out of bread and took an hour's rest, which was agreeable and would have been more so had it not been for the cloud of sandwiches which still hung over us. The bread came and our devoted band returned to their tables with dimin ished ardor but undiminished zeal. At 20 minutes to 6 the counter an nounced 3,992eight short. We were again out of bread, so, standing in a circle, we solemnly swore never to tell the Y. M. C. A. that the 4.000 sand wiches for which they contracted were eight short, and turned them over to the waiting truck, which whirled them off to the huge Y. M. auditorium. Thither a little later went our cafe teria director to superintend the re freshments and one of the other sec retaries to represent the Y. W. C. A. worker whom each Y. M. C. A. unit takes to France, thus- carrying but the central idea, which really deserves special mention. In the corner of the auditorium next the stage was a real Y. M. C. A. hut closely copying the Drawn for the Topeka State Journal (Copyright. 1WT. by H. C. Plher. Trade Mark Be- O. S. Pat. off.) ones in France. In this hut the 4,000 sandwiches we had made were served trench sandwiches we called them because the bread was fairly thick and the crusts were not cut off. Coffee was served ate well as the four thou sand and the whole was under the supervision, of Miss Kempton. In the hut stood Miss Barger, the sole visible representative of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Barger and Miss Kempton counted themselves extremely fortunate to have heard Taft's masterly address, but the rest of us were forced to be content with the knowledge that with out us the four thousand could not have been present. It was a unique experience. The Woman's club will hold an all day meeting Thursday at the Y. W. C. A. The board of managers' meeting will be held at 10 o'clock, followed by the business hour at 11. During this hour twenty women will be asked to give one minute talks on "The Origin of Red Cross and Its Work."

SAFESNOT SAFE With SI "Yeirc" Suspects In Jail Rob beries Continue. Kansat City. March 2. That a large band of safe blowers is operating In Kansas City was the conclusion reached by the police today when, wi:h thirty-one suspects in custody, another safe was blown early this morning. During the last six weeks more than twenty safe blowlmrs have been reported to the police. Most of them netted the robbers from $200 to $500. In addition there have been within i hat period three bank rob beries, all of them of the most daring kind. Most of the activities of the sate blowers have been confined to stores m the outlying districts, altho .the safes of several downtown con cetns hjve been wrecked. The pr.lice are of the opinion that the safe blowers came here from Chi cago, from which place they had been driven. All of the thirty-one men un dt: detention, the police say. have boon arrested or convicted before for safe blowing.
