Efforts by the bolshevik Red guard to save Finland from passing under Teutonic influ ences are responsible for Germany's decision to take military possession of tho Finnish republic.

The Evening News s'WS the question of Japan In tervene n in Siberia has been settled and that all the allies as well as the United States have agreed to immedi ate action to safeguard the interests of the rowers. Washington, March 5. The United States now is in agreement with Ja pan, Great Britain and the other co belligerents on the principle of action in Siberia but the details remain to be worked out. This became known to day as the cabinet met with President W'lson to discuss the subject. London, March 5. It is understood according to 9 Reuter dispatch from Tokio that the Japanese government is extremely well informed of the de velopments in Siberia but at present is adopting a policy of watchful wait ing. Japan is carefully avoiding arousing the antagonism of loyal Rus sians who notwithstanding the dire need of assistance appear to be ex tremely sensitive of outside interfer ence. Recognizing, also that China is i entitled to consideration as a protec- j tor of the frontier on which Japan ese does not actually border, Japanese the dispatch says probably has agreed with China on a plan for prompt co operation. All-Absorbing' Topic in Japan. By the Associated Press. Tokio, March 2 via Shanghai to London. The Russian situation is completely absorbing the press and the public. There have been frequent meetings of the Japanese cabinet at which doubtlessly the entire question was considered most carefully with full realization of the sacred nature of the responsibilities, involved Military Action Imminent. (By Hie Associated Press.) Japan, reports indicate, will act soon to protect allied interests in east ern Siberia. Press dispatches re ceived in London say that the British, French and Italian ambassadors in Tokio have, or will immediately ask the Japanese government to take whatever action it may consider nec essary to oppose German propaganda in Siberia and to protect the military stores at Vladivostok. It is believed in- Washington that military activity by Japan is imminent. Need for Japanese action has been increased, it is felt, by the signing of peace by the Bolsheviki and the German invasion of Finland. Also there are further reports of the hos tile attitude of the Bolsheviki ele ment in Siberia as well as of the thousands of released Austro-German war prisoners, who have been armed and drilled. A belated dispatch from Peking says that Russian forces are menacing the frontier of Chinese or eastern Turkestan. Turkish and Ger man agents have been active in this territory attempting to arouse the Mohammedans against the Chinese government.

BLOCK BIG BILLS! Opposition to Administration Corporation Finance Flan. Committee Deadlock v Delays War Reorganization Scheme.1 BY L. C. MARTIN. Washington, March 5. Two of ;he administration's biggest war measures were being blocked In congress today by hostile forces. The $500,000,000 war finance cor poration bill, claimed to be essential to prevent financial disaster, faces in definite delay, while the senate bar.k iiig and currency committee draws amendments to it The Overman till, empowering the president to re organize war agencies to give the war machine greater speed and effective ness, is held in the senate Judiciary committee by a deadlock that threat ens to last indefinitely. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is to appear today before the banking and currency committee in an effort to dissuade it from fighting on the senate floor, to have the powers con ferred on the proposed finance cor poration transferred to the federal re serve board. Members of this com mittee believe the reserve board should look after the financing of business and the stabilizing of money. Agreement Prospects Gloomy. While this committee's attitude is seriously delaying passage of the bill, j leaders predicted today efforts to amend it will fail. Prospects for agreement on the 0vermal, bm are Ki0omy. Supporters 1 of the Chamberlain war cabinet and 1 munitions director bills are using tne delay caused by the committee dead lock over the Overman bill to urge th1 senate to adopt the Chamberlain measures. Chamberlain, who has been ill, will soon return to direct the fight in person. "While the senate today laid aside the agricultural appropriation bill long enough to pass the billion dollar urgent deficiency measure, the house continued its work on the legislative appropriation bill. Final Round for R. R. Bill. Conferees on the railroad bill hope to agree today, following a visit to the White House of Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the con ferees. Smith discussed with the president the rate-making bill, one of the chief points in dispute between the two houses. GARVER TAKES OATH Hugh Fisher Slated to Be the "'County Attorney. New Robert E.

Eckhart, head of the division. The order notifies flour millers that they may return to a 90 per cent basis. The original basis was established by averaging the output of the mills for three years.

It n ly end by a process of $?raustion and that meant a continu jiice of the 'war with all its horrors jjntil the destruction of human life h& material of one or bothe sets of fcelHgerents make continuation im Jbossible. Such a termination would fe a disaster of the first magnitude to mankind. -T-TThere remains, he said, a third alternative ra policy of reconciliation, thru the combined forces of labor and Socialism to obtain a real peoples' fceace. That did not mean a surren der to the .enemy or a patched-up teace or peace at any price, nor that he neople are willing to condone Ger- ffnan brutality or to leave Germany with all her power for miscnier umm f&ired. League of Xations. 11 What the policy of conciliation meant was the destruction of mili tarism not onry in Germany but tyerywhere. Mr. Henderson then re jfted the well-known war aims of the Jabor party, including a league of na- ttons. He said that such a league im Silied the complete democratization of Ble ministry of government in all tountries, the suppression of the greed i diplomacy and the publication of treaties which must never contravene the stipulation of league of nations. It lueant the concerted abolition of com pulsory military service in all coun tries to be prepared for by a common limitation of armaments and also that they must abandon every suggestion f-i an economic boycott or of the fi- fmncial or commercial isolation of Clermany. Help Democracy in Germany. The speaker quoted a recent speech f Phillip Scheidmann, the German Jfcocialist leader, and articles in the Socialist Vorwaerts proving that there M--as a struggle in the central powers between the military caste and the ifarces of democracy. The people vmiaf help th. forces of democracy in Germany to the utmost. The German policy towards Russia t tnade the possibility of peace by con j iciliation much more remote. The "people must convince the German people that victory for such ruth Jess militarism would fasten perman ently upon democratic nations the aw ful burden of armament and enforced Service and that the greater the Ger nan success on the battlefield the Ijjore remote was world peace. "We must tell the German social ises." Mr. Henderson continued, "that yft have done our part. Whether the struggle is to terminate soon or is to he indefinitely Droloneed. denptirln targely upon how soon they can pro-- jjnee a cnange or mentality in their government, wnen tney induce their government to accept the broad hu Trian principles which inspire the pro posals of allied labor and socialism then a woflcf peace is insured. Then fcnly will the peoples of the world togree to sheath the sword and walk together in the paths of progress and Jeoce." ELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.

Includes Drys, Bull Moose, So cialists, Single Taxers. Chicago, March 5. The national conventions of the Prohibition and the National parties met here today to formulate policies for campaigns dur ing: the year. The National party was organized hero last October by representatives of the prohibitionists, progressives, loyal socialists and single taxers. The National and the Prohibition parties have a number of purposes in com mon, notable national prohibition, woman suffrage and public ownership o" public utilities. The question of merging the Prohibition party with the National was expected to be fought out on the floor of the Prohibition convention a: the session today. At the state convention of the party yes terday it provoked a controversy which resulted in delegates to the na tional convention today being sent un instructed on the subject. Veterans in the prohibition ranks opposed the merger with any other party while the younger element urged unity. SN0WWAS DELAYED (Continued from Page One.) to strike Topeka some time this aft ernoon.

West Front to the Rhine One Vast Fortified Field. :n three distinct systems Pill Box' Forts Instead of First Line Trenches Used. Reveals Germany Realizes She Can't Win Offensive Battle. BY HENRY WOOD. With the French Armies in the Field, Feb. 20 by mail). While loudly proclaiming a gigantic offen sive on the west front, the German armies have been working there night and day for months past building up the greatest system for defensive war fare til-. world has evar known. Germany realizes that in the end she mu3t sustain on the French front tiip shock of the combined French, Biitish and American armies. She knows that in spite of whatever Ini tial success she may gain by a big west front offensive, she will be obliged to defend every step of the territory between the west front and the Rhine. Three Fighting Zones. The entire west front, extending for miles to the rear in fact, practically back to the Rhine has now been concerted into one vast field of a de fensive system. In the 1918 German offensive sys tem the three lines of trenches of the original system give way to three great lighting zones, the first of which is known as the "zone of ha bitual combat," the second as the "zone o grand combats" and the third a-) the "zone of battle." The 'zone of habitual combat" re places 'he old first line trenches. This zone is intended to lessen the fright ful losses sustained in defending the first line trenches. Stock Sbell Holes With Food. The first line 'of the "zone of ha bitual combat" consists most often of a bingle trench. The troops even take up their positions in the shell holes in front of this trench. These shell holes ate stocked not only with mu nitions but "with food and water. Oft en this first line Is held by only a few soldiers. Instead of sacrificing thou sands of men, holding a rigid line of trenches. Field Marshal Hindenburg now prefers to save his men by per mitting them to fall back to the "zone of grand cambats." The German defensive organization and troops, instead of being concen trated now on the front line, are spread out indefinitely to the rear ward. If the front now gives way at any time, ever increasing defensive organizations and troops are feund to the rear. In these "zones of grand combats," the defensive organizations for the infantry consist of trench after trench. All of these are supported by numerous defensive positions, such as concrete forts, fortified hills, block houses, machine gun nests, great underground caves and forests. Acknowledge Superiority of Allies. After them comes the great "zone of battle" where, when the allied armies get thru the first and second zones, they must give open battle. Here, too, the Germans have en deavored to prepare everything in ad vance so that even in open combat they will have the advantage. This is the defensive system, which the Germans have built, at the same time announcing their intention of ending the war by a great offensive. The syrtem is a tactic acknowledg ment of the superiority of the allied armies and betokens an appreciation that Germany must end jthe war on the defensive, not on the offensive. SEIZE GERMAN DOCKS Amendment to Bill Will Give Presi v dent the Authority. "Washington. March 5. President Wilson intends to" take over the Ham-burp-American and North German Lloyd steamship companies wharves and docks at Hoboken, N. J. He ar ranged today 'with Senator Martin, Democratic leader, for an amendment to the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, giving: him such authority. Altho the government has been us ing the dock properties of "the two German companies, President Wilson told Senator Martin at a White House conference today that it was deemed necessary to take over the legal title. The president arranged with Attor ney General Gregory to advise con gress of the legal situation. Senator Martin was called to the White House to arrange for a provision in the ur gent deficiency bill to meet the situa tion. No detail of the president's plan were given Senator Martin but ar rangements were made to take up the urgent deficiency bill in the senate to day ahead of the war finance corpor ation measure to -expedite the defi ciency appropriations and also the matter relating to the German docks.

Lee, a widely known Harvey ville stockman, to attend a conference of food directors and stock raisers in Kansas City. The men attending the conference, which opened today, will discuss the high prices of stock feed and problems confronting Kansas stock growers and breeders. Scores of complaints have been filed with the state and federal departments against alleged injustice to stockmen as a result of present market condi tions. While stock has sold at a high price on the markets, the growers and breeders have declared they were un able to earn a profit because of the high price which they were compelled to pay for feed. Representatives of the federal gov ernment, as well as state food admin istrators and representatives of the stock growing interests, will attend the conferences. Walter Innes of Wichita, state food director, is attend ing the session. Lee will speak for the Kansas stockman. He was ad vised of his appointment by Governor Capper and assured the governor he would attend all of the sessions. BUILD NEW CAMPS Leavenworth and Riley in New Army Program.

Thirty thou sand youths- between 17 and 20 now prepari:i& themselves to be reserve officers in their courses of school study rray be called in June for a month cf training in the field with regulars, national guardsmen and na tional t-.rmy troops. This plan is be ing considered in connection with ar rangements for the fourth series of officers' training camps to be opened about June 1. A recommendation now is before the war department to discontinue the system of locating officers' training camps at cantonments and to estab lish three great schools for line offi cers infantry at Fort Leavenworth, cavalry at Fort Riley and artillery at Fort Siil. Another plan is to continue present camps and extend -admission to mili tary schcols where training units are established. PLEA FOR GERMAN Jacob Frohwerk of Kansas Called on Senate Carpet. Explains Propaganda and Peti tions to Congress. Washington, March 5. Investiga tion of the propaganda committee of the German-American alliance was taken up here by a senate commit tee cons-dering the bill to revoke its, charter. Jacob Frohwerk of Kansas: City, Kan., president of the alliance of that state, who testifies at his own request was asked whether he had knowledge of the propaganda com-' mittee which Senator King said had offices at Indianapolis, Ind. 'The propaganda committee, as I unders'and it was only for ithe pur pose' of furthering the teaching of German in the public schools," he said. "We would like to keep and foster the teaching of the German language so that would open to the American children the great field of German literature. We have always consid ered that as a matter of patriotism the English language should be given first consideration. Frohwerk said that as president of the Kar.raH Alliance he received many communications from officials of the national alliance urging that Kansas members of congress be asked to sup port any measures to stop the ship ment of munitions to the allies.,, DROP BOMBS ON Contipued from Page One.) struggle for unlimited democracy. No other force can save Finland. The Finnish Red guard is the same organization as the Russian Red guard. The Red guard is not an anarchistic organization. It is the army of the revolution and much will he heard of it henceforth as the cen tral organization for resisting the ex tension of German control in the east. Red Ciuard Hot Anarchists. A serious disservice is being done to the cause of world democracy by re ferring to the Red guards as "reds." They are not "reds" as that word is used in the United States. The red flag is not in this instance a symbol of lawlessness and anarchy. It is the red flag of freedom. Opposed to the Red guard in Rus sia are the White guard. The White guard represent conservative interests who care little for real democracy and who want the Germans to have control of the Pevrograd government, because money-making might then start up again. The White guard, with their white flag, .symbolize a surrender to reac tion. The leaders of the White guard have been demoralized by the terrible throes of a great democracy's birth. They don't want to go thru the con vulsive stage any longer. They are prepared to accept a partly palsied democracy to evade further trouble to themselves.

DRAFTS HELD RESPONSIBLE However, Weddings Still Lead Over Divorce Petitions. June Was Big Matrimonial Month of Last Tear. Marriage in Shawnee county, ac cording to records of the probate and district courts for the last six months, is a two to one bet with the long odds in favor of smooth matrimonial seas. Since September 1 a total of 465 mar riage licenses have been issued by Anne Ballard, clerk in the probate judge's office. During the same period 153 divorce cases, equivalent to one third of the marriages, have been filed with Mrs. Mary Chapin, clerk of the district court. In the face of the number of di vorce cases, which is an increase over the average, the numjjer of marriage licenses issued here is shown to be steadily falling off. Despite "war" weddings the decrease, the records show, began with the calling of the first contingent of the first draft into training camps. Induction of young men who have no dependents into the army, officials point out, is bringing about a critical shortage in matri monial possibilities June Big Month Last Year. Licenses issued In the month of February, just closed, set a new low record for the Shawnee county pro bate court. Only 49 were issued. This is against 110 in June, the month the draft law became effective and 100 in the month of September. Sixty-eight were issued in October, 88 in Novem ber, 93 in December and 67 in January. The 49 issued this February is against 63 in February, 1917. r The mills of the divorce courts kept up their steady grind today. Judge Whitcon.b, in the second division of the district court, gave P. H. Grange hei freedom from J. T. Grange. The plaintiff, on the witness stand, said her husoand would get mad at her and throw himself into a "fit." When he recovered, she said, he would be vio lent. She also obtained custody of the four children with a stipulation that they be left with their grand mother until she is able to care for them. Wife Sues Santa Fe Man. Maggie.

She asks als that the court issue an order tying up the defendant's salary. HUNT N. Y. WIRELESS Believe Germany Is Getting Messages Find Dismantled Outfit. New Tork, March 5. Germany is believed to be getting wireless reports direct from New, York. Federal agents-today were endeav oring to locate a powerful, hidden radio plant somewhere in the city. By "listening in" from a detecting station on the roof of the Hotel Majestic, these officers became convinced that such a plant was in operation. They picked up code messages, evidently sent by German spies in New Tork and destined for receiving stations in Germany, the federal investigators be lieved. The first effort to locate the send ing plant failed. Marshal McCarty and several intelligence officers seized wireless equipment in the tower of me .trinity building at Broadway and Wall street. The apparatus was owned Dy Kicnara nund, a German, but was so dismantled as to be useless. ON LOCOMOTIVE HUNT McAdoo Sends Questionnaires to All Railroads on Motive Power. Washington. March 5.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chiengo, March 6. CORN Prospects of unsettled weather with snow (rare firm ness today to the corn market.

A break in a main trunk gas line is a serious' affair. It perhaps will serve to illustrate what a furor is caused in the organization by telling of an actual occurrence and what was done. Ten minutes after the midnight bell had struck, one morning re cently, the lonely watcher at the Bigheart pumping station in the midst of the wild Osage Nation noticed that the gas pressure sud denly had dropped in the new 12-inch Osage-Hominy line and he knew there had been a blow-out. Jumping to the company private telephone he awakened from his sleep the gas-well man twenty miles away in Wynona, who quickly turned off the gaa at the wells. Through this means the pipe soon was cleared partly of gas. In the meantime a gang of workmen had started out in motor cars to the point of the blow-out four miles away. They dug four feet down through loose stone with pick and shovels to the pipeline. Then taking an iron "sleeve" weighing 1,300 pounds they fitted it around the break and fixed it gas tight with rubber packing. The job was completed and the usual flow of gas was desumed just five hours after the break was discovered. Sometimes gas flowing from the break overcomes the workmen with drowsiness and they must work in relays. KANSAS NATURAL GAS CO. STOCK To Insure Yourself Best Results Consign to CLAY, ROBINSON CO.

Mary an PROUD OF BOYS Optimistic Oyer War Situation, Says "ew Army Chief. French country folk in nineteen ruined villages of the Department of the Somme and Oise. Compares It With X. Y. 'If this can be called social work. said Miss Gaines, as I accompanied her on her rounds thru the demolished village of Hombleux, Somme, "it is a social worker's heaven. After all it isn't the kind of social work we do itv New York, but as a worker who has had much experience among the poor of the East Side, I can't help but com pare the two. "On the East Side the people we help are the victims of ignorance and common poverty, many of whom live under conditions as bad as can be found today in the French war zone. Their poor, down-trodden, unsanitary lives are an they've known. To ele vate them, make their lives more worth living is something better than they've ever known and they cannot and do not appreciate and never will. Every Pot or Pan Finds Welcome. "In these villages of France the people arj victims of war. They are living under New York East Side con ditions because it is one of the trage dies of having been under the iron heel of a merciless invader. Their thrifty, comfortable peasant homelife has been snatched from them and they are striving to re-establish it. Our work here isn't charity, it's co operation. Every bed, stove, pot or pan we bring into the village is re ceived with i. full knowledge of what it's all about and is apperciated." Shaking the heavy mud from her stout boy scout shoes. Miss Gaines entered a little makeshift dwelling eight feet by ten, the home of a mid dle aged woman and her two small daughters, the eldest 8 and her sis ter. 3. When the Germans evacuated Hom bleux in March, 1917, they, blew up the pretty little stone dwelling, a single wall of which standing now supports the makeshift lean-to room. Rehabilitate Makeshift Home. It was Miss Gaines and the Smith girls relief unit who furnished the roofing for this makeshift which was built alone, mostly of waste timber from the ruins, by the thrifty mother. A baby crib, miraculously saved with its shiny white enamel untouched holds the- place of honor on the dirt floor of the refuge. A long narrow piece of galvanized corrugated iron extends from the roof at a sharp angle directly over the crip. It keeps the water off the little 3 -year-old when it is rainy and the roof leaks. An other bed, as primitive as the dwell ing, occupies much of the remaining space. Two chickens nervously perch ed themselves on the baby crib. The little S -year-old, a bright-eyed little brunette, sat on the damp floor play ing with a piece of paper twisted care fu'ly to resemble what might have been a doll of happier days. We found the mother outside, re turning with some timber she had gathered to build another section of her home. Xursc Inherent French Prido. "I'm bringing you a nice new bed tomorrow," was Miss Gaines's greet ing. The woman's eyes sparkled and genuine gratitude was written on ner face. "I will thank you with all my heart, mademciselle." she slowly responded. This bed had been promised three weeks before when Miss Gaines broughc the two chickens and that piece of corrugated iron to cheat the leaky roof. The woman will pay a small price for the 1-ed. There's still pride in ad versity with these peasant folks of France. They know why these Smith college Rirls are out here in the war zone distributing desperately needed things, and they know it isn't for profit. So they pay their little price and retain their pride but extreme gratitude goes along with the bargain. Trade Itags for Clothes. "At first we had some difficulty dis tributing warm clothing which comes to us from our Smith 'college alumni people all over the Cnited States," added Miss Gaines. "Of course, it was second hand and we didn't like to sell i.. We think our scheme is rather good. We have appealed to all the villagers for rags and in exchange wc give them clothing. It's a barter and it appeals to these thrifty peasant folks.

TO WORK WITH GOVT Schools in Co-operation Reports Su perintendent Wilson From East. Men and Women' of France Won Praise of Gen. 31 arch. Washington, March 5. Maj. Gen. Peyton C. Marcr, taking up the post of chief of staff today, expressed him self as optimistic over the war situa tion. He was confident that an American-allied victory is certain. 'I am optimistic over the whole war situation," he said. "When I say that, I do not underestimate the strength of Germany, which I think would be dangerous to do. One sight of the men in the trenches is sufficient to djspel any pessimism. "Their morale is excellent. They are showing up very well as you can see from the recent engagements in whiqh we have been involved. France Touched His Heart. "Now a word about the French. I am not generally sentimental, but I am sentimental about France. Her troops are splendid and the women are equally so, for they are taking over the men's work uncomplainingly and are striving to the utmost." March spent the forenoon consult ing with the war council, meeting the general staff officers. The new chief exhibits a remark able amount of energy and his mili tary associates expect that war work from now on will show a decided in crease of initiative and progress. March felt that the morale and strength of the whole allied force is dependable and such that it can over come the Germans even tho the latter are strong, too. March made a com plete tour of the front before return ing here and came in close contact with the soldiers of each nation. Patentees Can't Control Prices. Washington, March 5.

DON'T FUSS WITH PLASTERS! Closer co-operation between the government and the schools in car rying on the different war activities in the public school was the subject of paramount importance at the conven tion of the national association of su perintendents in Atlantic City, accord ing to word brought back to Topeka by H. B. Wilson, superintendent of the city schools. It appears that practi cally every department of the govern ment is in the habit of making de mands on the schools to do special war work. Sometimes the demands conflict and overlap causing contusion and inefficiency. To avoid this confu sion and overlapping and to narrow the demands for special work down to what is really needed, the educators decided to get in touch with the gov ernment and evolve some method of closer co-operation. Training the pupil in citizenship was another subject that ciime up for a lengthy discussion at the meeting according to Wilson. The idea means to train the pupils in the high schools in civics and economics as applied to cities is by actual work for the good of the city. The annual cleanup campaigns, helping in the health de partment, aiding in the milk and food inspection departments of cities and like endeavors were the methods of training for citizenship that seemed to have the largest approval of the educators. Superintendent Wilson was chair man of the year book committee for the convention. It is reported that the year book of this conference is one of the most valuable ever put out by the association. UNWRITTEN LAW WINS Patterson Acquitted for Slaying Sam Williams. Tulsa Banker. Oklahoma City, March 6. Orban C. Patterson was found not guilty of the murder of Sam Williams, Purcell banker. The verdict was reached after seven hours and twenty minutes of deliberations. Patterson received the verdict calmly. With the closing of the Orban Pat terson murder trial, the final chapter in one of the most tragic stories in recent Oklahoma history has been written. The history of the trouble between the Patterson and Williams families, changing from a lifelong friendship to a hatred that has result ed in three deaths, forms a story al most without equal in the history of Oklahoma courts.

'The signing of a peace treaty be tween Russia ond the central powers sftould simplify the arranging of peace terms between the Huns and the re Tawlnder of the world when the peace council' shall assemble.

X.?alizei government has disappeared and no man sows a field which he knows he will .not be permitted to rap, 1'alf Russia is starving and the other h.?)f is intoxicated with criminal license. It is a Russian wilderness which the armies of the kaiser are penetrating; a wilderness peopled by human wolves. They will find neither gold" not food., and it -will require as great a ;'urce of armed troops to pro tect the frontier as was employed dur ing the last three years to resist the armies of the czar. ,,'jt is estimated that the scraps thnown away from the tables of America are enough to feed 200,000, Ojk' chickens.

THE POTATO MARKET, itlemembering the Hoover famine threat of a few days ago, says the Boston Transcript, the morning advice oi the United States Bureau of Mar kets is reassuring. Housewives are especially urged to buy potatoes be cause If more of them are not bought tlktj unusual quantities grown last yiar W". rot before they can be con sumed ind the growers, suffering loss, will fail. to grow enough next year. Bat the patriotic housewife, starting, out with market basket to fight down Vtif. famine with this plethora, finds that she must pay at lowest retail prices 52 cents per peck. Should she be blat-.ed if she resents this' One high authority cries famine. Another begs us to. buy because there is an over-stock, and when we go out to buy, the price seems unfairly high. ;There was promise last fall of an easy potato market, but the retail to-iyer d.d net find it. Prices for this 'tuple food have ranged discourag legly hlijh for a year. There was a bumpe?.crop and the sta'te of affairs that prevails and has prevailed makes Vf buyor believe that it was manipu lated. The rta.iler does not seem to b-; sharing in this. He pays 40 cents a peck for what he sells for 52. The trouble must be sought nearer the source. There has been much outcry o late against food hoarding. In the case of the potatoes it has been the bio grower and the big warehouse man thrt have dqne it, not the con stjmer. How far. the famine predicted bv high authority has gone to hold apd increase food prices already dis eVuragingly high it is not easy to say. Ccrta'nly it has not helped matters. Certainly also staple products which ait so p'entiful that they will rot if wo do not help out the market by Si'ying 'hem, should not remain at famine prices. The consumer is be tas very successfully regulated. Isn't tfrea" faii! chance for success with b'sser sama? I FROM A SMLVLI TOWN. It has remained for a Topeka minis ter of the gospel to aver that it may be wrong to come from a small town and to slur a man of ability because, in comit s to the capital city "he came forth i.- m a little country town This is the first time that the State Journal can recall such an unkindly, and unjjst reference to a man who was summoned here because he was believed to be fitted for a new task to b3 performed and to cast his lot with this city. The records of big men coming from little towns are Innumerable. The small town seems to develop char acter, for there and in the smaller commun.ties, the hamlet and the faim, naman nature gets closer to na ture itseil, and witii tha development of things material seems to come nat urally development of the mind, the heart nnd indeed the spiritual, creat ine with the firm foundation and physique the qualities which prepare a man for the needs of a larger com munity, the state and the nation. r Garfield came from a small town; McKinlcy from Canton; Lincoln from tht backwoods: the editor of the Chi cago T.'-'bune, which claims to be the worlds greatest newspaper, from Hol ton, Kan.; moat good reporters come from tne small towns, 'he same is true of most newspaper men who are today conducting the great papers of the big cities. Topeka picks up a re porter from- a small town, trains him, Kansas City sets, him, then Chicago, then New York, and then he begins to feel sorry he is not back in Topeka. One of i he greatest editors this coun try has produced told me once as I sat beside him at a dinner in New York, ihat he wished he could con duct a newspaper in one of the smaller cit'es and train his growing sort there and livd in a locality where there was more of humanity and neighbor- liness and less of greed and bustle and the ruthless struggle for fame and gain, nut this is another story. Edison lives at Orange, X. J.; Doo little. who seems to have been a red ras in te facs of the bull beef trust, comes tram Cottonwood Falls; Wil liam Al.t-t. White, from the little town of Kmytria, and marfy a big city would like to get him; Arthur Capper came frjm the small town of Garnett. He was rot in Topeka long before he began to do things and he haj been do:ng trem ever since, and aside from conducting a daily paper and many other periodicals finds time to be gov ernor of Kansas and to aspire higher; the "Story of a Country Town," writ ten by a country town man, .E. W. Howe, is one of the great novels, and about a sreat subject. The instances of big men coming from thr small town are so numerous that it is the rule. There is one ex ception to the rule that will occur to you. that great American, Theodore Rcosevjit, who was born in New York. But he went 'out into the small com munity and constantly goes there and receives inspiration thereby. The small town ia in the preponderance. There generally are born the great men. Tne intemperance of people who preach Against it is sometimes amaz ing. Occasional language from the pulpit is so gross that the newspaper hesitate to print it. We have an ex ample of this just now before us, growing ouV of the doings on Sunday and yeaterday in one church and at the mecung of the Ministerial union. The charges, and actions and words and conduct of Brother Gordon on these two occasions are hardly believ able. The word "brother" is used advis edly, because the Press and Pulpit belong to the Fraternity of the Uplift. In the days of Herod the king, near-iy- 2,000 years ago. John the Baptist cried out in the wilderness and his meat was locust and wild honey. In Isaiah it is said "cities are a wil derness. In these days we have Robert the Baptist "crying out in the wilderness," and our fats, wheat, sugar and meat are conserved just as were those of John in the first century and he seems to havo been the first to follow the precepts of Hoover, who came so many certuries later. The Baptist dfvine may mean well, but he seems to live constantly in en virons which are paved with good in tentions. He may possess the Christian faith, but he lacks the exercise of what is more important for, as Paul said, "now abideth4" there still abides, "faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." By that, of course, he meant Christian charity and the exercise thereof, from which ojr friend in the pulpit at times appears to stray. He seems to cherish in his words the surroundings of the wicked. whichvxin this community, thank God, are limited. "He seems to revel in an atmosphere of iniquity' The reader will please excuse the numerous quotations from the apos tle, but Paul was indeed a big preacher and he came from a small town; and, by the way. you will recall thai the great Master was born in Bethlehem, no large city in Judea. Paulvsays in one -of his epistles, "for there at"t many unruly and vain talk ers." Ho admonishes to "think sober ly" and to be temperate in all things, which must include language. Yesterday at the ministers' meeting his fellows asked Pastor Gordon to refrain from so much noise while their guest, the mayor, was talking, but Gordon, ;ho speaking with the tongues of men- heard them' not, and became "as soui.ding brass, or a tinkling cym bal To pet j. is not endangered from th men or women from the small town. Recently it has been menaced by a few Magdalenes from the large cities.; With mare suitable facilities for tak ing care of this recent invasion brought about by new conditions fol lowing our recent inauguration into, war, Tjpeka was not prepared as she shuld have been and as she ought to be In the. future. A city may have all the faculties for dealing with an ele ment of crime, but unless it has the facilities it cannot meet dire 'practice with du provision. i To quote from Doctor Gordon, who uses the adjeclive, his words about the mayor were "damnable," and should the mayor desire to lay the charge of libel, which newspapers hesitate to wield, he could establish his case. Mayor House is not perfect by any means and far be it from us to endorse all his views, but. neither do we be lieve th1 pastor of the church at Ninth and Jankson 'to oe altogether perfect, nor do we agree even always with him, which is apparent from this ar ticle. The marge that this writer desires to particularly resent, and we are no spokesman for the roayor is the scandai -us one that the mayor brought his chief of police from a small town in order that he might secure a man "unfamiliar, unac quainted, unattached, a person to warm a chair, draw a salary," charg ing that the mayor wanted a chief of police who would be weak and lax and encourage crime. It is the personal opinion of the editor cf this paper that Mayor House is at 'e.:st as anxious, and we think more so, as Mr. Gordon for this city to be clean and model. If Mayor House sues out of office with credit to hims-elf, and he evidently desires thav he must ha.ve established a rec ord in bis administration of growth, efficiency and welfare, moral and physical. He has more at stake tliat hi administration may end with these things than has Mr. Gordon. -With Gordon li is a theory; with House it is a condition to be met in the best practical way. It is grossly absurd to charge that Mayor House is not in favor of im proved conditions. Frank Stahl, one of the best men who ever lived in this community, and who himself was chief of police, commended to the writer the mayor in. handling crimi nals. The fact is that under the House administration the city of To peka is pursuing the even tenor of its way in .the main and probably more than any other city of its size in the country is free from scandal, extrava gance and corruption. The mayor and his able associate commissioners seem to be striving for the comfort, wel fare, sobriety, entertainment and hap piness oi the people who dwell .herein and the good visitors within our gates. With all of its shortcomings, and we do not admit there are very many, Topeka is a model city. There are few better communities of -its size in the country and to hold Topeka, the pride of us all, before the world as the pulpit sometimes presents it, is as great a crime as some crimes men tioned from the same platform. No, Mr Gordon, in all calmness, it is not right in referring to the advent to the capital city of Kansas of Frank Haabaush, the chief of Topeka's po lice, to condemn him for leaving the smaMl town of Erie; rather is he to be cotgia'uiated. THE POISON OF PRUSSIAX1SM. Otto H. Kahni a native of Germany, but now a loyal citizen of the United States; addressing a Milwaukee audi ence composed largely of brother Ger mans, laid before them certain facts which should reach the Intelligence of all his countrymen in America, Mr. Kahn spoke in part as follows: There are some of you, probably, who will still find it hard to believe that the Germany you knew can be guilty of the crimes which have made it an outlaw amongst the nations. But do you know modern Germany? Unless you have been there within the last twenty-five years, not once or twice, but at rular intervals; un less you have looked below the glit tering surface of the marvelous "ma terial progress and achievement and seen how the soul of Germany was being eaten away by the virulent poi son of Prussianism; unless you have watched and followed the appalling transformation of German mentality and morality under the nefarious and puissant influence of the priesthood of power-worship, you do not know the Germany of this day and generation. It is not the Germany of old. the land of our affectionate remembrance. It is not the Germany which men now of middle age or over knew in their youth. It is not the Germany o. the first Emperor William, a modest and God-fearing gentleman. It is not the Germany, even, of Bismarck, man of blood and iron tho he was, who had builded a structure which, whilst not founded on liberty, yet was capable and gave promise of going down into history as one of the greatest exam ples of enlightened and even benefi cent autocracy: who, in the contempla tive and mellowed wisdom of his old age, often warned the nation against the very spirit which, alas, came to have sway over it, and against the very war which that spirit unchained. A coir.pany of United States ma rines, on' active service somewhere in France, is reported to be insured for J2.545.C06. This is belieVed to be a record for individual company insur ance subscription. Of the 255 men in the comi any, 54 took out insurance for $10,000 each, the remaining mem ber subscribing to a 15.000 policy. In addition to this, 188 men of the same company made allotments, totaling $2,830.5n, for the "folks back home." Even war savings stamps are ad vancing in price. They now cost $4.14 each as compared "with $4-12 on Janu ary 31. A DAY OF JUDGMENT Wte.i the war has ended and the. court of the World' sits in judgment, Germany should be cited to appear before that; tribunal and show cause why shi should be permitted to con tinue existence as a nation; why she should r.ot be utterly annihilated. There is raging in Europe today the most tcrible and destructive conflict that the human race has ever encoun tered in its history, incited and main tained b- the doctrine that in national conduct the and Justifies the means, however selfish that end may be. The selfishness of the end is sanctified in the minds of those who are seeking it by the assumption that they are su perior to the rest of mankind and di vt.iely ommissioned to dominate for the progress of the world. This is virtually the avowed doctrine of the autocratic rulers of the German em pire toiiy. Whatever their pretense may bi xrom time to time in regard to specif' acts or achievements, their general pretention is made so conspic uous thai it overshadows all details of cunduct Are the great mass of the people of that empire so imbued with this dia bolical doctrine that they believe in it aiid a.rs ready to die for it as a reli gious siorifice. or are they the'unwill ing victims of a gross deception? It is not necessary to reiterate the evidence- of Teutonic deceit in precip itating ,-ir.d conducting this war the pretense that it wan rorced upon the thoroly prepared empire by nations not prepared even for their own de fense, the secret efforts to deceive and to injure not only enemies but neutrals and even friendly nations where any thing was thought likely to be gained b it. No d ubt or question is left as to the utterly unscrupulous and infa mously "mmoral political doctrine of the ruling class of Germany, whatever pi-etem-c. it may persist in making thru the fnou'h of ttaiser, or chancellor or other spokesman from the brazen al tats of its faith. No trust is to be put in anything they profess and it is use led to talk with them about right or justice or fair terms of peace. The real question is, says the New York I 'jrnal of Commerce, whether th people of Germany are, obsessed with the doctrine that might makes right, t.i.i.t the end justifies the means, that the violation of every principle of truth or justice or moral conduct be comes b. sacred duty -"n the conduct of the, nation so completely obsessed that there is nothing else to appeal to in the effort to put an end to this abominable conflict and bring about a worl-J peace which can be depend ed upon to last. The kaiser is having a busy time in keeping his friends in line. He has just thrown a bit of sop to Turkey by restoring to that country territory hitherto occupied by the Russians. Last year when Austria was waver ing he rushed his armies into Italy and briced up the tottering structure of Austiia's war spirit. All of this serves to prolong the war but it oToes not brng victory for the Teutonic arms any nearer. And a decisive victory is what the Huns need and must h ive to save their entire ma chine' from collapse. .German submarines have sunk" a vessel belonging to the Swiss mer chant marine. Now laugh. DINNER STOIRIES A clergyman was about to leave his church one evening, when he encoun tered an old lady examining the carv ing on the font. y Finding her desirous of seeing the beauties of the church, he volunteered to show her over, and the flustered old lady, much gratified at this un expected offer of a personally con ducted tour, shyly accepted it. By and by they came to a hand some tablet on the right of the pul pit. '-This," explained the good man, "is a memorial tablet erected to the memory of the late vicar." "There now. Ain't it beautiful?" exclaimed the admiring old lady, still flustered and"" anxious to please. "And I'm sure, sir. I 'ope it won't be long afore we see one erected to you on the other side." 'A young Burnley weaver, accord ing to an English paper, was taking her little, baby to church to be chris tened. Its father had been in the trenches for three months, and it was impos sible for him to get home for the cere mony. The baby smiled up beautifully in to the minister's face. "Well, madam," said the minister. "I must congratulate you on your lit tle one's behavior. I have christened 2.000 babies, but I i never christened one that behaved so well as yours?" The young mother smiled demure ly and said: "His grandad and me hev' bin practicin' wi' him fer a week wi a bucket of water!"

INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HASK1N, Director. Washington, D. C MASS FEEDING IN EUROPE. Washing-ton, D. C. Germany, to judge by the accounts of her news papers, is f country with a magnifi cent system of food distribution, but a sad shortage of things to distribute. The German press is full of compiaints that pecple are not getting even the meager rations their innumerable food carda call for. The way some of them feel about it is well expressed by a' soldier who contributes the following recipe for a meal to Gastwirtsgehilfe: "Take the butter ard, cook with it the beef card, and beat up with the egg card The potato and vegetable cards are to be cooked separately and then added. For dessert, the potato card is heated up and the milk card added; this is seasoned with the sugar card, and the bread and roll cards are baked in. The hands are afterward washed with the soap card, and dried with the towel-order form." The "Card system of rationing, in a word despite its meticulous elabora tion, is not an altogether successful method of feeding the people. Hence, the method of mass feeding is-coming more ard more to be relied upon. For merly, the public kitchens were pat ronized only by the poor; now the middle classes are also depending upon them While this system of mass feeding probably the highest devel opment of communism which the world has seen on a large scale has reached its greatest development in Germany and Austria, the public kitchens have become, important in stitutions in Italy and Russia as well. In Germany public kitchens have been established in all of the larger towns, and appear to be municipal in stitutions which are encouraged and regulated by the government. It seems that the people may either eat the food at the public kitchens or take it home. The great saving is in fuel, and in the elimination- of waste; large quantities may be cooked much more cheaply than small ones. The govern ment recently warned the various public- kitchens te- increase their capacity to the utmost, while more and more people are bound to become dependent upon them as a result of the growing scarcity of coal and gas. It is also stated that the middle class now patronizes the public kitchens as much as the working class. The government seems to be greatly pleased with the savings effected by these institutions. The public does not seem to be quite so delighted. Thus Vorwarts publishes a bitter complain., relating the case of one woman with several young children who received at the public kitchen only half of the amount of potatoes for which her food card called, and who charged that the fish and meat dishes contained little or none of the fish and meat. The Socialists also recently registered in Vorwarts a protest againts the raising of prices at the public kitchens by 25 per c"?nt. They asserted that the peojile were getting little enough for their money. Nevertheless, the prices were raised. A list of the meals served at a pub lic kitchen in Passau is published in a Berltn paper to show how much better the south of Germany is fating than the north. The cost. of thtse meals was twelve and a half cents for those including meat, and about eleven cents for those without meat. A typical meatless meal consisted of potato soup, flat macaroni and Jam. A typ ical meal with meat -consisted of cab bage soup, veal and potatoes. No men tion is made of bread or butter, and the only sweet thing appearing is Jam, and that only once a week or there abouts. The Berlin paper, comment ing upon this sumptuous fare, says that the people of that4 city would gladly pay double the price for it. A complete account of the public kitchens in Vienna is published in one of the newspapers. There are 150 such kitchens in the city. Fifty of these were established with ihe aid of the municipality, while the rest are private, including 22 co-operative kitchns. 26 attachd to institutions, 46 for industrial purposes, 4 for profit and two for invalids. The largest number of customers attached to a single institution is 8,200, and the smallest number is fifty. In Hungary the pub.ic kitchens seem to be pseudo-charitable institu tions. There is a national war kitchens committee of which the Arch duchess Isabella is the head. This committee has started two kitchens in Budapest, one of which is known as the Burgois kitchen, and has for its purpose to feed needy members of the middle class at cost. It serves a meal of soup, vegetables and farinaceous food. The other kitchen is designed for people of the indigent classes and serves for a nominal sum a meal of soup 'and vegetables. It seems that every one in Europe 'can get soup, most can get vegetables, the middle class can get rice, and potatoes, while only the affluent know the' joys of meat and butter. How hunger pinches in Austria, and how precious food has become, is vividly suggested by an account of- the struggles of the officials with what is known as the "kit bag trade." This is comparable to the suit case trade in liquor in "dry" parts of the United States. The people go out into the country' and buy potatoes, meats and other controlled foods in small quan tities, and try to take them home in all sorts of hand baggage. The police are compelled to search all baggage and confiscate all the food they find. Thus the food smuggler who is caught loses his potatoes or his goose, and gets nothing for it. These food con fiscations have engendered so much bitterness that the -ifficials have been instructed to wink at smuggling by poor persons, and to confiscate only foods which are brought in for pur poses of illicit trade. a Russian paper publishes a lengthy statement of the regulations governing public kitchens in Petrograd. but no idea is given -of the number or im portance of them. The ration of bread is given as half a pound for each person per day. Two pounds of sugar per month are allowed. But ter, vegetable oil and suet are issued in very small quantities. It is stated that the unexpected arrival of a ship ment of eggs makes it possible to al low each person one egg for the week present, but that in the future eegs will be allowed only to children. The ration of meat is one pound a month and of tea one-fourth pound a month. Ir. Milan, Italy, there are at least eight public kitoiiens, and each of them has a capacity or sott-800 per sona These kitchens sell, in addition to regular meals, cooked meats which may be taken home. In Turin there are several communal kitchens. Last fall they were distributing 40,000 por tions -of thick soup and (,000 portions of meat and fish witli vegetables per day. v i In all of these countries the press indicates that the mass feeding Idea is spreading. It is one more demonstra tion of many which the war has brought out that in emergencies de manding the greatest efficiency men must fall back upon co-pperation, while the free play of individual greed, which has been the basis of law and social organizations hereto fore, must be suppressed. Questions on the above or any sub ject upon which the reader desires in formation, should be addressed tne Topeka State Journal Information Bureau. Frederic J. Haskm, Oirector, Washington, D.

Hugh Mcintosh sorted his letters rzLyiui. pausing: lor an malum w 7 I of mv sieht. Mary? iook a' tne superscription upon a small, square envelope, tne naiiuwi Ing of which he did not recognize. This he lai' aside for the moment for more pressing business and then for got it. This was strange, for it was an in sistent thing, lying as it did alone upon the desk in front of him. vlnce his eyes fell upon it and he stretched out his hand to take it up but was interrupted and not until he left the office, hours later, was he conscious th-'; the letter was still unread. He picked it up and slipped it into his pocket, thinking to read it at his leisure and again it was forgotten. Yet he was neither a careless nor for getful man, but at this time he was absorbed by an important case that claimed all his energy and determina tiot. to carry it to a successful issue. Beside this, he believed it to be an invitation which he had 1.0 time to accept. ,x Two months later as he vfns pass ing the White House he collided with a woman in white wro had suddenly stopped in his path to read the suf frage banner held aloft by a very tired-looking girl. With an apology h was about to pass on, when he caught a side view of the face under the board brimmed hat. ''You," he said, stopping short and holding out his hand. "I thought you were in California." "I was until two months ago," Mary Bowie answered, "and it is good to be back, even if my throat doej contract .with an ache every time a uniform passea me. War seemed farther away out there, but here, where almost every othe? man you meet is in khaki, it is very near.'" "Yes," he said, looking at her with appreciative eyes, "living in Washing ton' we are in the ailast of things and the war is brought very close. But suppose we forget it for a time. Come and take lunch with me. I know a place where they give you wonderful rolls and a delicious salad. That is, of course, unless you prefer a hotel." "My tastes are still simple." she re plied with a laugh. "Rolls and salad sound good to a hungry woman." "It is rather a shabby little place," he answered, almost in apology. "What matter? Washington is a city of extremes. Two blocks up the avenue, from the White House is shabbiness indeed. Walk down Seven teenth street until you reach the Cor coran Art gallery. wnat ao you naM? Gentility, nothing more until you come to the wonderful group of buildings lurtner on. i nai :s tne one thing about Washington its strong contrasts." "I did not bring you to luncn to tain about contrasts and extrem2s. I want to hear about yourself. Why didn't you let me know you were in town?" "Don't you read the daily papers?" she asked carelessly. "I believe I was announced ever to the details of my traveling dress, which was an old one, by the way, and did not deserve no toriety." "I never read tne society news ana frivolity does not sit well upon you, mv dear voung lady. What reason did you have for not sending me your Card "Are you sure 1 aia not. "Quite sure. It would have reached m if vnn had sent it." ."I forgot your address and did not think to look in the directory. You can give it to me now. if you wil'." He looked at her steadily. "Are you quite sure that was the reason v n y not.' 1 L think of on the spur of the moment," she returned lightly. "Why should tnerw oe a reason ne ajked again. "Why do you always look for one? she countered back. "Think of it as a woman's whim."' "Neither w turns nor invuiuy re comes you." ne repueo sooraj, i will give you my card.' He drew a flat case from his pocket and, not flnd-ina- what he wanted, laid several papers upon the table. Uppermost on I the pile was tne unuycueu t;n.irr -ceived two months before. Marv Bowies eyes widened, tnen became expressionless as she glanced from it to her companion, still search ing for his elusive card. As he raised his eyes, they, also, were caught and held by .the square envelope. "I forgot it." he said simply. "It reached me when I was absorbed in an important case. Of cour-- it was 1 inexcusable. I meant to read ;tv when I had leisure, but whenever I started to open it I was interrupted. If you will pardon me -1 will look over it now." Let it wait. An hour or so will now make little difference to your correspondent." "I have never corresponded with a woman in my life, and I doubt if thia is anything more important- than an invitation." She placed a hand over the letter, still lying on the table. "Just a little longer," she said gayly. "There is no telling what news it may contain and you may wish you had read it alone." He shook his head es he slit the en velope. "I will not have it longer upon my conscience." As he opened the sheet he found it blank. Curiously he further unfold ed it and a newspaper clipping drop ped upon the table. It fell right side up and held his gaze. Over and over he read the printed words, then raised his eyes to the girl's face. "You were right.' It does contain news." He touched the envelope. "I have never seen your handwriting. Did you direct this? For answer she took a pencil and card from har bag and wrote his name upon it. He placed it beside the envelope and studied the'two. His glance again fell upon the printed slip which, after a me-ment's hesitation, he read aloud: "Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bowie an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Mary, to Mr. William Berkeley. The wedding will take place in the early fail." For a tirrte he looked absently at the clipping, then his eyes sought and held hers. "Not if I can prevent it." he said at last. "Do you think 1 will let you go out of my life without protest?" "I have never been in your life. The reply came a triile breathlessly. "You have probably not realised it any more than 1, but this," touching the slip of paper, "makes it very plain to me. The trouble has been I have never had time lor play, but in the back of my mind has always been the certainty that you and I would live out our lives together. There has been no time for play nor for that de lightful experience courtship, arm courtship is what a girl wants, is it not?" "Surely, it is her right." The reply held a touch of asperity. "I suppose so and now I have no time for it. This letter came two months ago. It is now October. I will have to take you whether you will, or no. The coureship can come afterward." He looked at his watch. "There is just time to reach the City hall before it closes. Will you come with me and from there to some clergyman I am afraid to let you out "And Mr. Berkeley? I gave him my promise." "This is a question between you and me. I love you. I hope you care enour-h for me to marry me. Some promises should be broken before they break one's life. And. Mary, we can be verv l.airav together. If I had time you would find it out before, but I am pressed for time and the knowl edge must coma later. Will you come?" She rad risen and was lumoung rather aimlessly with her glove but- to... "J think I had better tell you some thing first," she replied a little un steadily. "I found I did not care for Mr. Berkely and at the eleventh hour broke my engagement. I discovered before it was too late that I cared for another man." "And that man?" "He was very stupid." She looked at him squarely now. "I Tiad to find some way tomake him know his own mind for I was sure 'te cared for me, but for many years he had taken me so as a matte- of course that he did net realize it. Tou asked me if I di rected that, en'vslope. I did not. but I know who did. It was addressed to yon at my request, and I think, Hugh, as yo- are willing, we will rorget there is such a thine as a big wedding. 1 would rather go quietly with you te st. Mark's parsonage." EfiOMEHT BY BOY K. MOCLTOX Suffragette Scrmoncttea. (By Edith Lorraine.) The styles have their purposes. A lady who wears one of those diaphanous gowns will never be ar rested for having no visible means of support. Women can vote now only in certain states. But a man can vote, no matter wiat state he is in. Now that the New York women have the ballot, their husbands can enjoy a well-earned rest. The wives can no longer blams them personally for everything that hap pens in government from a shortage in face powder ,to a three-cent postage regulation. The blame Is now fifty-fifty. The sweetless days is nothing new in some homes. But it will be tough on the honey mooners. My husband and I never argue. He has learned the utter futility of it. When we named our first. baby, he insisted upon Richard. I insisted upon Robert. It was a long-fought battle and the neighbors suggested that we strike a compromise, which we did. The compromise name was Robert. Some of tht. mossbacks who argue against equal suffrage claim that, in office, women would bungle things. Why shouldn't we? The men al ways have. Nearly all the loving couples you see in the Broadway jassoriuma are married. .But not to each other. The men durn 'em. as a prominent actress once said we can't live with 'em or without 'em. Orville H. Babcork. a hotel friend of ours In Chicago, rode home from New York last week, and he claims it took him thirty-seven hours. As an interesting sidelight on "See ing America First," just now we quote the following extracts from his letter: "Sunday night, Monday, Monday night and Tuesday morning. What a trip! The only time the old caravan wasn't in the air or on its back was when it was off the track. We could always tell when It was off the track, as the bumps almost ceased then, i was sick as a hoss all the way to Buffalo, and then a change came. I got a little sicker. All I could eat was a little slush on the order of oatmeal and a cup of almost-coffee. The prices In the diner were so stiff that most of the passengers refused to eat there, and got off at various points and bought fruit. My cellmate on the trip were a couple of vaudeville gen tlemen who cracked jokes with a loud, raucous sound. Some trip. You will not see me in- New York again for the duration of the war." No more old hens will be killed for a while, according to a fon. order. Just as well satisfied. The last one we had. boiled, was a veteran of the civil war and involved a $25 dentist's bill. A HERO EVERY DAY Brave Deeds of Men 'n America's Fighting Serrlce For unusual heroism, the secretary of the navy has Just awarded a medal of honor to Ora Graves, a seaman of the United Sates navy. His is the sec end medal of honor awarded to a man in the regular navy since the war began. On December 21, last, an ex plosion followed the firing of a three inch salute charge on board the V. S. S. Pittsburg, then in South American waters. Two men were killed, and several others injured. Graves was thrown to the deck but soon recovered. Coming to his senses, he noticed a bundle of burning waste lying on the deck. Despite his knowledge of the presence of powder in a nearby case mate, and the risk he took of being killed by explosion, he picked up the blazing material and put out the flames with his hands. Graves en listed in the navy in November. 11, at San Francisco. His mother, Mrs. Alice L. Graves, lives at Maxwell, New Mexico. TIAVELETTE BX NIKSAH. Aba Simliel. The temples of Abu Simbel are a group of rock-cut shrines in the banks of the Ni'e. The four giant colossi 1 guarding the entrance to the mam temple- gaze tranquilly over the river from their rocky perch. For v ages these huge figures have kept their viitll by the waters, weary yet faith ful sentinels of the Nile. They are supposed to represent Rameses the Second, and smaller figures of the great king's queens and children keep watch with their husband and father. Behind the colossi, over the temple door. :ow" of dog-beaded apes look, towards the sun in perpetual adora ation. The temple was built in honor of Ra, the sun god. Inside, in the great entrance hall, Ra himself with Khem and two lesser gods, wait with folded arms and solemn faces for the ofierinij of worshipers long since re turned to dust. The hills are dark anc" gloomy until the sun comes up' over tht- Nile valley. Then for a few moments, sunlight slips past the guardians at the entrance and strikes the silent figures of the gods. The shaft of gold lights the dim halls and turns the dark figures to statues of bronze and gold. It fades again, leav ing the temple dark as before. Ths wallj and columns are covered with hieroglyphics, telling the glory of Rameses' reign, the names and number of his children and queens. They tell of Nefrere. his sister and best beloved consort, of the battle with the Hittites. of wars with Syria. Libya and Ethiopia. According to the evidencs set forth on the walls and pil'ars Rameses had no small idea of his own importance. At the foot of one of the colossi a soldier of Psammetichus the Second sometime in the year 681 B. C. wrote hit; name, idly obtaining immortality.'

The greatest queen of Egypt, when all the evidence is in, has proved to be not Cleopatra, but a lady, by the un usual and striking name of Hatshep sut. Cleopatra has been so extensive ly press-agented by Shakespeare and G. B. Shaw that her rival is not a serious opposition candidate for pop ular favor today. Maybe Shaw and Shakespeare preferred Cleopatra be cause her name is easier to pronounce. Perhaps they chose her for a heroine because Cleopatra was such a feral, nine woman. Hatshepsut was not feminine at all. She did not affect barges whase perfumed silken sails beguiled tha langourous airs of Nile himself. She stood for warfare, direct action and militant feminism some sixteen hun dred years before the birth of Christ. All these facts and many others are set forth In imperishable hieroglyphics on the walls of her temple at Thebes. The queen's own portrait ia always J carved with the added adornment of a beard. She chose to be thus re membered by future generations both as earnest of her scorn or the wiles of beauty, and as a glorification of the masculine virtues which she felt she possessed in good measure, she ruled Egypt with the strong hand, and added many miles of conquered ter ritory to her dominions. Like most feminists, she had her family trem bles. Her only brother, with a name as unpronounceable as her own, frowned on her activities. He believed that woman's place was the home. 8he showed him that the rule would work both ways by keeping him locked In her palace for several years. That her nature was not entirely lacking In feminine touches is indicated by the fact that several of the hieroglyphics refer to him. by her orders, as the most disagreeable man in Egypt. When she went the way of all flesh, the conservative brother succeeded to the throne, and vented his rage by erasing her name and portrait where ever It appeared in tha endless carv inir.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS-TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1918 FOR YOJJNG FOLKS Junior Symphony Orchestra lias Been Organized Here. Daniel duller Is Behind the ew Musical Body. TALENT PLENTIFUL, HE SAYS Chamber of Commerce Asked To Sanction Organization. Home Talent Can Beat Many Imported Performers. Topeka has qftietly acquired a defin ite musical asset, tho Topeka does not generally know it. Daniel Muller, be Jievinp; that the home talent has some Iilucn in the general scheme of things, hit gone ahead and perfected the or ganization of the Junior Symphony orcheptro. The unique thing about this Junior symphony orchestra that Topeka has bo quietly had thrust upon it is this: Thru Daniel Muller the orchestra has made application to the board of directors of the Chamber of Com merce for recognition, without in the same breath asking for money or a ticket sale or financial aid in any way. All the orchestra has asked for is Just tne official stamp of approval and recognition of the Chambe- of Com merce. In his application to the Chamber of Commerce in behalf of the orchestra. Daniel Muller states that "we ask and will accept no financial aid, but we do crave your official recognition and a good word from every member indi vidually." Organization Fills Real Need. In setting forth -his reasonsfor or- fnnizing the orchestra. Muller says: The people of Topeka pay liberally for the musical education of their children, after which proceeding we all pass up these young Topekans and bring outsiders, "who, in many cases, are Inferior n accomplishment to our buys and girls, go thru the proceeding of overpaying them as a rule, and criminally neglect our own city and its intellectual growth." "It has been an old mildewed knockers tradition that local talent cannot satisfy the demands of the To peka musical public," declared Muller in his letter to the Chamber of Com merce "which contention is false in its conception and contemptibly un patriotic In Its practice. further on in his letter-Muller states that "it is the duty of every one of us to be loyal to our community and to be boosters without always thinking first of self. We must build up this already fine city of ours which may well boast of the finest and cleanest boys and girls who deserve recogni tion, and who have a right to demand recognition lest they be recognized by other cities in other states, as has already happened." To Use C. of C. Kooms. In closing Muller says that the Chamber of Commerce has already ottered the use of -the Chamber of Commerce rooms to the Junior Sym phony orchestra for practice, and the offer has been accepted with a right good will by the members of the orchestra. "This city has been slowly develop ing her musical talents in the varied forms of its natural growth," says Muller, "and we have at the present time sufficient talent of the age and degree of development which war rants its being trained and moulded into a community- musical organiza tion which will, if given due recogni tion become one of tbe things our city can be proud of.'

PRO-GERMANS BEATEN Anti-Clerical Victory in Chile Means Separation of State and Church. Santiago, Chile, March 5. The rad ical, anti-clerical victory in the con gressional elections in Chile--the first victory of that kind in a generation makes separation of church and state the paramount issue. T.ie radical majorities in both houses mean that an entirely new cabinet will be chosen, a cabinet of radicals. Every member of it will oppose the president, who proposes separation of church and state, tho he is not a clerical. Priests, Pro-German, Charge. The entire conservative Catholic ele ment is pro-German, because of its attl.udes toward France's policy of church and state. Many priests, in .southern Chile; have been accused of vigorous and open German propaganda. The result of this election is certain to squelch pro Germanism, but it will not develop a sentiment in favor of the allies.
