The Ameri can army of occupation marching into Germany has reached the Rhine. General Pershing, under date of Mon day night, reported: "The American Third army con tinuing its advance into Germany to day reached the Rhine from Roland Beck to Brohl, arid at nightfall was on the general line: Rolandseck, Brohl, Wassenach. Munstermaifeld, Rhein bollen." Game All Vncxpectcd. Coblcnz, Dec. 10. The first intima tion most of the Inhabitants of Cob lenz had of the American occupation wa3 when small detachments of doughboys swung thru the streets in a. businesslike manner, bound for the posts designated for them to guard. Little attention was openly paid, to the Americans by the townspeople. Despite the surprise of the invaders entrance ahead of schedule, there was no excitement. A few groups gath ered and stared. Some children checrod shrilly and followed in the wake of the Americans, but their eld ers generally continued their strolls along the boulevards. The Americans entered the town without any bands playing or flags fivin h nri nnJcirlv eomDleted the task for which they had been sent that of peaceful occupation or cooienz wnn nnt inv fuss or formality. Thus, the first American soldiers nim tfl ttft foot Oil the banks of the Rhine occupied the capital of Rhenish Prussia, consummating a mo mentous historic episode. Today the m.itn forces had leached the west bank of the Rhine from Rolandseck southward to Brohl a distance of 12 miles) and were within less than ten miles of the river at all pointa along the entire zone of occupation. The main body of the German rear guard crossed the Rhine Just three hours before the arrival of the Ameri cans. Tonight the German sentries are at one end of the Rhine bridge and the Americans at the other. The Germans are still in posses sion of the famous fortresses of Khrenbreitstein and Asterstein, across the river. The enemy commander held a conference with the American bridgehead commission and turned over the plans of the forts, offering to iT-ronrfpr them when the American main lines move across the river. His Tha nnrliil train bringing the Americans to Coblenz was composed of German cars and a German loco motive and was operated by a Ger man crew. German switchmen threw the switches over which the train en tered the city. TRIEDT0 KILL SELF Wm. Holienzollcni, Former German Emperor, Woi'M Die by Own Hand. London, Dec. 10.

The Hotel du Louvre, on the Place du Palais Royal, will be used as an American officers' hotel. General Pershing has request ed the American Red Cross to make arrangements to take over the hotel and run it on the American plan with American food served. The increased number of officers visiting Paris and the lack of quarters made this action necessary An American hotel man now in Paris is advising the Red Cross concerning the arrangement.

FLU KEEPS STRIDE At 2:30 O'clock This Afternoon, Fifty-Four Sew Cases. Eight Deaths -Recorded in the Last Fifteen Honrs. MAY LIFT PART OF THE BAN If ImproTement Is Shown City W ill Take Action. Washburn S. A. T. C. Men Asked To Aid at Hospital. Up to 2:30 o'clock today 64 new cases of influenza were reported to the authorities at the office of the public health department. Releases, with 64 reported, maintain a pretty even status with new cases reported. According to Dr. H. L.. Clark, city health officer, conditions remain much the same as they have for sev eral days past. Two more names have been added to the list of victims of the disease. Roy Hargis, of 924 North Monroe street, died this morning: at 1 o'clock and Karl Brown, of 219 Gordon street died at 9:30 o'clock this morning. At 3 o'clock this afternoon eight deaths from influenza were reported. The names of six appear on page 6. According: to Dr. Clark, conditions in Topeka are practically at a stand still. However, since the middle of last week, says Dr. Clark, there has boen quite a decided improvement demonstrated both by the declining total number of new cases of the dis- I ease per day and by the number of releases of families in which there were one or more cases. The releases have been running as high as the numbers of new cases which is taken as an indication that the growing re ports of patients recovered shows that the disease is not spreading as rapidly as It did. In both epidemics the cli max of the epidemic was followed by a period In which releases maintained a position tantamount with the num ber of new cases. May Release Restrictions. If conditions continue to Improve as they have in the last few days, Doctor Clark says that it may be pos sible to release some of the restric tions now placed upon the activities of the city. However, he ventured no opinion as to what these possible changes might be provided continued improvement was maintained. Many of the cases reported last week have reached the most critical point In the attack of the disease. The authorities expect and are prepared for an increasing death rate this week. This afternoon Commissioner W. L. Porter will make an effort to obtain the services of several men who acted as aides at the hospital in connection with the Washburn S. A. T. C. It is believed that these men who had some experience and training while serving at this hospital, will decide to lend their aid in the present emer gency at the influenza hospital now operated by the city In one ef the cot tages at Christ hospital. The staff at the hospital is too small. Eighty-Eight Cases Monday. Eighty-eight new cases of the dis ease were reported on Monday. But there were 160 releases. That the number of releases each day for the last few days has run higher than the number of new cases, accordinsr to both city and state officials, is held to be a most reassuring feature. With seven cases reported on Sunday, and 88 on Monday, the total of 95 cases will average 48 per day. This is a de cidedly smaller number of cases than has been received in any two consecu tive days for some time. MORE TRAINS ON McAdoo Announces Resumption of Normal Service Again. Withdraws Request for Curtailing- of Railroad Travel. "Washington, Dec. 10, Restoration of normal passenger service has now been undertaken by the railroad ad ministration, said Director General McAdoo today in a statement ad dressed to the American people with drawing his plea made last January for curtailment of passenger travel for the war emergency. A number of trains he announced, will be added to existing schedules within the next few weeks. TO ADD TO THE TERMS British Admiralty Confirms the Re port From Berlin, j London, Dec 10. The British Ad miralty confirms the additional naval terms announced from Berlin.. These term.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1918 VACCINEJOR FLU Inoculation Prevents Many Deaths, Is the Word Sow. Surgeon General Blue Says Death Rate Is Low. TENTH THOSE UNINOGULATED New Duties Ahead for the Pub lic Health Officials. With Soldiers Coming- Home Will Be More Demands. Chicago, Dec. 1 0. Ninety .per cent of the deaths from influenza and pneumonia are preventable when a proper vaccine is used, according to an address by Dr. E. C. Rosenow of Rochester, Minn., before the annual meeting of the American Public Health association today. Surgeon General Blue, head of the United States public health service, also a speaker at the conference, said that nearly 350,000 death occurred among civilians from September 1, 191S, to December 1, 1918, from In fluenza and pneumonia. The deaths from influenza and pneumonia among those inoculated were one-tenth those among the un inoculated. Doctor Rosenow showed. Surgeon General Blue came to arouse realization of the problem confronting communities when the armies are de- mobilized. "Conditions after the war, with de- mobilization of troops and resumption of immigration from areas in which (Sanitation has been necessarily neg lected, constitute a situation of far greater menace to the health of the nation than has previously existed." Surgeon General Blue said: ''Pub lic health officials must be prepared for increased demands from the sol diers themselves, for they have seen certain measures of hygiene and sani tation insisted on. The health admin istration program must include health supervision of children." diplomats' to study Will Look Into Chile-Peru Scrap Over the Frontier. "Washington, Dec. 1 0. State de partment officials are to make a de tailed study of the Chile-Peru frontier controversy as a diplomatic prepared ness measure, it was learned here to day. Hope was expressed that the two countries may reach- an agreement be tween themselves on the Question of the Tacna-Arica plebiscite, but It was! a-lmlttea by both officials and diplo-l mats, that the people, rather than the governments, are behind the con tinued demonstrations in both repub lics. It was pointed out by Chilean and Peruvian diplomats that the mobili zation of Santiago and Lima was In each case a governmental precaution for preserving internal order. The Latin-American bureau of the department of commerce issued a re port today describing the Tacna-Arica region. The report stated that the region In itself is of comparatively small economic value, with an area of 8,688 square miles, mostly arid Andean foothills. The port of Arica and the Arica-Lahaz railway, over which Bolivia imported goods valued at $30,181,931 in 1915, were declared to be the leading assets of the dis puted lands. "Contrary to the current impres sion, Tacna is not one of the nitrate provinces, as this industry is largely confined to Tarapaca and Antofa gasta," declared the report. "These two provinces, to the south of Tacna Arica were ceded outright to Chile by Bolivia and Peru in 1883. "There is a strong impression In Latin-American diplomatic circles that Bolivia and Peru will.' make over tures at the peace table in regard to Tarapaca and Antofagasta. "The relative importance of Peru's interests in Arica were shown by 1914 statistics quoted in the report that twenty-four retail houses with a total capital of $39,100, were Chilean owned and 104 firms with a capital of $293,110 were Peruvian owned."

(By the Associated Press.) Vladivostok, Dec. 10.- The suppres sion of General Kalmikoff command er of the Cossacks on the Ussuri river front by joint action of the American and Japanese military authorities has removed an element which threatened open: hostilities at Khabarovsk. The situation had become tense. It had its. origin in the arrest, persecution and execution by Kalmikoff of appar ently innocent inhabitants of the re gion. In some instances it Is alleged that the bodies of the victims of executions were left for the dogs to eat. Learn' ing of the state of affairs, the Ameri can commander at Khabarovsk pro tested to Kalmikofx and also com municated with Mai. Gen. William S. Graves, .the American commander in Siberia, who consulted with General Olani, The Japanese commander Both generals joined in a warning to Kalmikoff against his high handed methods and threatened that unless he ceased them, they would interfere Dy force. Notwithstanding the warning; eleven additional persons were shot the night of November 20. Afterwards Kalmi koff disappeared. Mis followers pro fessed to believe that he had been ar rested and sent to Vladivostok. They prepared to attack the Americans. Kalmikoff, however, reappeared, and asserted that he had ordered the exe cutions stopped but that his orders had failed to reach his subordinates. Russians from the Khabarvosk district described the entire Ussuri as being in terror. On the pretext of searching for arms,, it is asserted, Cossacks robbed and maltreated the people. If any of them resist they are murdered in cold blood or are arrested on charges of Bolshevism and executed in squadrons. It is asserted that in spite of a cessation in the wholesale killing of the people, citizens continue to disappear. The people declare that Kalmikoff, who is 28 years old, is not a Cossack, but was elected their leader early in October. Since then he has pursued the tactics of a bandit.

The defense discarded one man after another in the first panel, using four of its ten peremp tory challenges. Federal Judge Landis momentarily enlivened the draggy proceedings with a characteristic comment. "You get here on time," he in structed J.

EIGHT PAGES FLOCK TO PARIS Every Train Loaded With Dele gates and Attaches. Nearly 5,000 Employes of All of the Powers There. II. S. FORCE TO BE LARGE Probably Be the Greatest Staff of Any Country. Private Wires to Each of Gov ernments From Conference. Paris, Dec. 10. Every train arriv ing at Parts these days brings large numbers of officials attached to the various delegates to the peace con ferences. All the larged allied nations are continuously sending parts of their working personnel and by the time the delegates gather, .the number of officials of all nationalities will num ber between 3,000 and 6,000. Each one will have some special work to do. Many of them are already busy. The French delegates will have all their assistants near at hand for the large staffs of the admiralty and war and foreign ministries will be constantly available. The United States office force will be large. Great Britain will have a large number of experts and assistants in Paris and in addition, staffs in the London governmental offices will be available for work which is not par ticularly urgent. Moreover, there wm undoubtedly be in Paris representa tives of Great Britain's dominions and colonies with the staffs. Great Brit ain will have in Paris experts of vari ous sorts, including men who have made a life study of such subjects as the navy, colonies, the far east and the near east. The United States, because of its re moteness, will be obliged to have prob ably the largest and most complete staff, and for this reason the American authorities have been compelled to take over larger accommodations than any other delegation. Italy will also have a considerable working force here, but the delegates, as in the case of Great Britain, will be able to de pend on much of .their work being done in their own country. Each European nation's delegates will have at their disposal their own private telegraph and telephone wire with which they may communicate with their respective governments. So many hotels have been taken over hv the peace delegates and the remainder or tne nostelries are so overcrowded that It is impossible for soldiers to find accommodations In the ritv. A large number of the officials of the leading; powers are receiving manv representatives of small nationalities or groups of natlonaltlties who have interests which they intend to bring ueiui inp cgnierence, Borne ox these represent governments which have not even been recognized and In a few cases there are two groups of rep- resentatives of the same nationality each claiming to represent the major ity parry ana anxious to put forward iu claims ana statements.

Senator Hitchcock, chairman, of the senate foreign relations committee, and Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, Harvard uni versity, today branded as false and unwarranted the efforts of German propagandists to connect him with German Intrigue in the, United States before this country entered the war. Hitchcock's denial was delivered to the senate, while Hart's was made be fore the senate committee Investigat ing propaganda. Hitchcock referred to the letter dated -July 22. 115. read Into the rec ord by A. Bruce Blelaskl of the de partment of justice. In which German Consul Relswlts, at Chicago, said trat Hitchcock, among others, would aid In a movement to get an embargo on arms-shipments to the allies. This letter was written to some unnamed "excellency." "If his alleged excel lency or Relswlts himself had any in telligence, either or both of them might have known that I myself was the author of the bill to prohibit the exportation of arms and ammunition and that I had introduced it In the senate more than eight months before the Reiswltz letter was written," said Hitchcock. "They must have known that I made a senate speech upon It, and that It had been debated in the sen ate and discussed in the newspapers. They must have known that on Feb ruary 17, 1915, I had offered my bill as an amendment) to the shipping bill then pending and that my amendment had been defeated by a vote of 36 to 61. My position, therefore. In fa vor of prohibiting; the exportation of arms and ammunition had been inde pendently and publicly taken and was widely known months before Reis witz discovered it and revealed It to his chief as a secret.

I made my only speeches here In the senate or In defending my course later before my constituents. "In those days, the country was un der a pledge of neutrality by virtue of the president's proclamation made when the war broke 'out.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1918 TAX BATTLE IS ON Congressional Fight Starts Over a Revenue Treasure. Senator Simmons Files His Be port Today In Senate. IT IS MADE A TARGET

Several Minority Reports Filed on the Bill. Billions for 1019 and 4 Bil lions for 1920 Provided. It Washington, Dec. 10. The con fgresslonal battle royal over the coun try's readjustment tax policy begins ".Wday. Senator Simmons, chairman of '-the senate finance commission, filed flis formal report on the bill in the senate. It was at once made the tar get for several minority reports. Tha first one was signed by all Re publican members of the commission, breathing unalterable opposition to including In the bill taxes for 1920. Senators Smoot and La Follette also ;.nad Individual reports dissenting from wthe majority viewr- Simmons presented the bill as "the fairest both to business and the great -..mass of taxpayers and from the gov- ernmenfs point of view that it has gbeen possible to arrive at." In a word the bill proposes to raise sfboul $4,600,000,000 from incomes, war and excess profits taxes for the fiscal year 1818 and $1, 400, 000, 000 from other sources, a total of 16,000, 000,000. For the fiscal year 1920. it will pro duce a little less than $3,000,000,000 -from incomes and profits taxes and about $1,000,000,000 from other sources, a total of $4,000,000,000. "About the wisdom of such a pro gram we entertain no serious doubt," said enator Ktmmons. "It id Impera tive that profits and income realized in 1918 be heavily taxed. This is not only necessary to raise the needed revenues, but it is equitable- and in accordance with sound public policy. "The profits realized during 1918 a. largely war profits: they are now in the pockets of the taxpayers and should contribute heavily before they have been dissipated or reinvested. "But it is equally important that" rne special taxes should be reduced as the occasion which inspired and justified them recedes into the past. Not to provide now for the reduction of the war profits tax after 1918 s profits have been taxed would be as inexcusable as to tax those profits." Simmons and other Democratic leaders admitted today that they will have a hard time- getting any revenue legislation passed this session. With the help of the treasury department, however, they will bring the strongest pressure to bear. It was pointed out to congress that failure to enact, a tax law soon will Tnean that more billions of bonds will have to be floated, with the country at peace, and no means existing of creatine any enthusiasm over a bond sale. Senator Smoot and. other Re publican leaders have stated they op pose including the 1919 tax because they fear the four billion provided for 1920 hy the bill will not be enough and the Republican congress will be forced to impose heavier taxes to meet the deficit and thus be blamed for increasing taxes. there" will be wars lftaguo of Nations WW Not End j Them Geddes. rCambridgei'Erig., Dec. 10. The es tablishment of a league of nations will not result in the development of a world in which no wars will occur, armaments will be unnecessary and reason supplant violence, in the opin ion of Sir Kric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, expressed in an address hire. Under the most favorable con dition declared Sir Kric it was to be expected a police force would be re quired. On the sea he added the British navy had performed that func tion faithfully and impartially pre venting the free nations from being crushed by Germany. He regarded it as Inconceivable that the supremacy of the British navy would ever be surrendered. The first lord expressed belief that Germany should be made to refund the full cost of the war and pay for all the damage she had done by sea and land to the uttermost farthing.

Gurry, 120 East Laurent street, ana Mr T 21 7 Tnur Lniirent. fshown below, is one to cause interested comment wherever seen. The picture was taken fourteen years ago and since that time the sec ond son has died. Mr. Keedy, who was born sixty seven jears ago at Kerwinville, Pa., is himself one of seven sons. His father was a Presbyterian colporteur, which corresponds to a missionary minister, and moved" with his family from Penn sylvania to Illinois in early days. Mr. Reedy, who for years has been a successful general contractor, went Reedy and to Nebraska in 1870,- and he and Mrs. Reedy were married at Nebraska City In 172. All of their children, seven sons atid three daughters, were born in that state. The family moved, to California in 1910 and the eldest daughter died there in 1913. The second son, William H.. died In Bakfrsfield, Calif., in 1912, while studying for the ministry- He had been a soldier in the Spanish war, in the 1st Nebraska, Company C. He was a 1st sergeant when mustered out. No two of the six remaining sons live in the same state. All are mar ried and established in business for themselves, but no two are in the same line oz business. The eldest son,. Oliver F., is an en gineer in the U. J3. reclamation serv ice. His, home is in Denver. The third son. Edward H.. is a den tist. His home is in Amarillo, Texas. J. Albert is a dairy farmer near Lincoln. Neb. Charles A. is a rancher near Christ mas, Ariz. Ralph B.. is a contract plumber at Chicago, 111. Ray K. is an electrical engineer at Secramento Calif. The two daughters live with their parents at Oakland, Calif. Mrs. Reedy is at present viWting her son at Lin coln, Neb. The three cousins, Mrs. Guffy, O. K. Reedy and J. F. Reedy, were child hood playmates, but had not seen one another for 68 years, which makes their present reunion all tha more en joyable to thorn. The accidental meetinsr of Mrs. Guffy and Mrs. Iteedy, the wife of O. K. Reedy's brother, while both were visiting in Denver a few months ago. led to inquiries which resulted in the meeting of the long separated cousins, before mentioned. When one realizes that each had lost all trace of the oth er years atro, the meeting of these kindred, who parted as little children. to meet again when all are past three score, is to say tho least, remarkable. O. K. Reedy was visiting his son in Lincoln, Neb., when he received an invitation to visit his Topeka cousins. He arrived last Friday and will leave this evening for his home in Califor ma.

ALLEE BABY NO HARSH PEACE Warning Is Sent' Against a "Blsmarckian Peace." 1 Xames of "Sharp" and "Sissoa" Linked With Message. Washington, Dec. 10. A warning against inflicting -.a, "Blsmarckian peace" on Germany and credited to the London Daily News, was made public her today thru allied channels. The text of the article waa picked up in this country from a wireless appar ently sent out from Lyons, ranee, over the signatures of the committee on public information Paris represen tatives. What ol Italy? Are there no explosive elements In Italy and Spain? Is France herself so utterly immune xrom every iniuacu Are English lower orders quite as tame as our capitalist press imagine i Has America, no Uibor problem of her own Is the trust magnate's easy chair so secure against all world convul sions? A Wilson peace bringing recon ciliation to people still in their pas sions and hatreds, giving to the war maddened world new hopes, new vi sions, may yet save Europe. Such indemnity as many are cauuus nr. the article declares, would mean occupation of Germany by allied arm ies for years, during which time "Eng lish. French. American ana Italian workingmen will occupy Germany ter ritory and act the role or siave anvr to the German people." This would make mammoth armies. President Wilson's demand for a peace without annexation has been forgotten, the article states. As for a lasting peace, as demanded by Wilson, the article declares tnat tne -cnauvin-istic press of Paris is discussing the proper moment for the 'next war against Germany,' against the German republic this time." Opposition to Wilson. N -Turning to America, the document notes opposition to Wilson. "Ex-President Roosevelt, addressing large enthusiastic audiences tbruout America, heaps ridicule upon the mere idea of a league of nations. He says it is nonsensical and hypocritical. A league of nations to prevent future war would necessitate lowering Ameri can tariff and 'would be against the commercial interests of America.' "Ex-President Taft calls for con scription being made permanent so that Germany. which is to be imme diately disarmed may be kept in per petual subjection. Senator Lodge says no peace that satisfies the German people can satisfy -us. "At the present moment the larger and more influential section of Amer ican press is demanding what prac tically amounts to a Blsmarckian for mula that our enemies be left nothing but their eyes to weep with." This warning counseled against a peace "dictated by force of selfishness, a peace built upon broken promises, scattered ideals and principles aban doned the moment there was nothing more to be gained by professing them. Backers of the Wilson principles were called on "to. make themselves. heard before It is too late." The document, wirelessed from Ly ons, France, first appeared in the London Daily News, but apparently was not permitted to pass the censor in the regular way. It became signifi cant by virtue of the diplomatic source announcing it and because of the explained "Sisson and Sharp" sig natures. "'President Wilson cornea among us, next week," the article states. "There will be much flag waving and speechifying- But the things for which President Wilson stands are being ridiculed and bespattered by the only voices one hears. "If the spirit animating at the pres ent moment, the press and politicians of Europe and America gains control of the peace conference there will be born a catastrophe that will be the end of the European social system. "The world may eventually emerfre safe for democracy, but it will be ways that our present ruling classes would do well In their own interests to avoid. With the example of Rus sia before us. is it statesmanship to drive the German people to despair? Do our editors and politicians see no danger for the rest of Europe in an alliance of desperation between anar chistic forces of Germany and Russia? Can Bolshevism, energized and strengthened, be depended upon to halt at the Rhine? WANT N0JW0RE NOTES Berlin and VJenm Notified To Ad dress "To the Allies." Washington, Dec. 10. Notes were sent to Berlin and Vienna by Ihe state department today advising the German and Austrian governments that the United States desires to ro celve no further communication from them which should properly be ad dressed to all the allied nations.

German conduct forced those changes, not only in the case of public men as individuals, but in the case of our country as a whole. This conduct was not wholly confined j to the outrages perpetrated on the high seasand in the war areas in Eu-! rope, but it included the criminal folly of German agents whom Mr. Bielaskl has been investigating. The. latter ex asperated American patience at home while Greman atrocities abroad aroused American resentment. Germans Were Careless. "I have nod lsposltion to criticise Mr. Biclaski for revealing all the se cret correspondence of the German agents and conspirators with each other. It is evident, however, that they. In correspondence with each oth er, have used the names of a number of public men recklessly If not falsely. They reached the climax of absurdity when they recorded Professor Albert B. Hart, of Harvard, as one of the number of prominent men who would co-operate with them. "In my case they knew that I had refused to join their work, refused to address their meetings, tho they were camouflaged as American. "I supported In the days of our neu trality the embargo idea as a senator, as the publisher of a large newspaper and as an American, but I declined to associate myself with those who be came partisans f Germany." Hart and Committee. Prof. Hart, appearing before the committee at his own request, put into the record more than 100 magazine articles from his pen, showing, he said, that his attitude had been anti-German. "During the whole period from August 1914, to April 1917, when we pot into the war, my activity was de cidedly anti-German," said Prof. Hart. "I repel any statement that I at any time had any connection with any German agent, publicly or secretly. My record is absolutely clear. "It was not criminal to be pro-German before we got into the war, any more than to be pro-British. But that was not the side I took. I was exactly on the other side. In spite of the fact that I had spent a year and a half in German schools. I never could stand the Prussian lieutenants when I was over there. I hated the fit of their trousers." Senator Nelson asked whether Prof. Hart believed It necessary or wise for American youths to round off their education by going to German schools. Hart replied he believes American uni versities the superior to any in the world and that while American stu dents con learn something in' Ger many or any other foreign land, for eigners can learn more here. Nelson explained his question by stating that he had observed that many Minnesota young men who had gone to German universities had be come inoculated with the "German microbe." Senator Overman, commit tee chairman read a large number of telegrams from Elihu Root, Senator- elect David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts and others testifying to Hart's con sistent loyalty and patriotism. TAKE TWO FOHDS IJf WEEK Auto Thieves Are I tea ping Flivver Harvest at Conrtland. CourtlarTd. Kan..

The Tageblatt had the following to i say concerning von Bernstorff s ap- I pointment: I "He is undoubtedly more familiar with American conditions than any other person and was highly es teemed in Washington. "Altho the numerous disclosures published for months by the American press regarding the propaganda of members of the German embassy and of German agents disclosures with which the German public will yet have to occupy itself have probably not been able to change the view Wash ington had regarding Count von Bern storff as it will be known there how little these activities were in harmony with his policy." f FOR ROYALIST PARTY Prince Henry, Wllhclm's Brother, Proclaims the Faction.

That part of the conservation plans of the go,ernment for natural gas- which has to do with the gas customers will mean much saving in money to gas users. According to the literature being sent out by the Natural Gas Conservation Bureau if gas users will follow the request of the government they may receive the same results as at present in cooking and use very much less gas. This means a very much less cost. From time to time this winter this organization will give news paper readers the benefit of lessons being put into the publio schools by the government which have to do with proper methods of burning natural gas.

-WT7T. .4. r THE TOPEKA DAIY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1918 LIFT FOIN RULE Consignees Believed of Forced Acceptance Perishable Goods. ConserTatlon Fruits and Vege tables on Volunteer Flan. Wichita, Dec. 10. The greatest step toward a change from compul sory food aaving under the rules of the food administration to voluntary raving was made today when all spe cial rules governing licenses dealing in fresh fruits and vegetables, includ ing potatoes, will be repealed as an nounced today. For a year the food administration has controlled shipment of fruit and vegetables in such a way that car loads of perishables could not be left to rot or freeze on railroad sidings while shippers and consignees disput ed over the shipment. Those who or der 1 shipments were required to ac cept ?hem and put the product on the market at once while claims for fail ure to fill all orders correctly were settled afterwards. Saved Hundreds of Carlots. The food administration saved hun dreds of carloads of food in Kansas in the last year, using the telegraph and long distance telephone in delivering orders to expedite the flow of perish ables to the consumer. Often the food administrator or his executive secre tary. A. R. Brasted. gave up their Sunday rest or got out of bed at night In answer to a telephone message con cerning the shipment of perishables. In that way food which otherwise would have gone to waste was dis played in retail store windows the next morning where the public could buy it. Shippers Submitted Gracefully. The distribution was conducted without publicity because it was so difficult to fix the blame for dispute and nothing was gained by publicity Kondon's will save you from colds this winter or J will pay you 'ft. FREE A tin (large enough as long as the distributors complied with the rules and the people got the food. Shippers usually complied with Instructions promptly. More than 100 disputes are still pending before the Kansas food ad ministration. They will be settled as will other cases which arise before Tuesday. After that time dealers will be asked to keep up the work of speedy transportation of shipments without federal interference. HAGGLE OVER JURORS Red headers' Trial Starts Very Slowly, for Challenges Made, Chicago, Dec. 10. Haggling over juror's qualifications today gave prom ise of a lengthy trial for the five So cialist leaders before Federal Judge Land is here. With a venire composed largely of farmers who said they had heard nothing of the charges of espionage act violations against the defendants, the government quickly passed twelve men. The Socialist attorneys were harder to please. The first day found five jurors accepted by them. Membership in the National Protec tive league, an opinion that peace agi tation should have stopped with America's entry into war and any anti socialist belief of the juror were suf ficient to bring a challenge. The five defendants, busying them selves with note taking, showed few signs of perturbation over the out come. JUNCTION UNDER BAN Topckav Form of Quarantine In Effect Today. Junction City. Dec. 10. A drastic quarantine order, effective at noon to day, "was drawn up by Dr. J. C. Mont gomery, state health officer, stationed here. All schools, churches, theaters and other public places will be closed. Shoppers in the stores will be limited tq one for each 100 square feet of floor space. Restaurants may serve only two persons per table. AFTER 29 years' special study, I believe beyond a doubt that most winter ills (like Colds, Catarrh, etc.) are due to stopped-up noses. A ND during my 29 years' work making Kondon's Catarrhal Jelly, I have been rewarded by the knowledge that Kon don's has helped thousands and thou sands of people by keeping their nos trils clear, clean and antiseptic. Thou sands of letters (which have come to me without my asking) prove that Kondon's does help folks to dodge the dangers that threaten when nostrils are not clear. THEREFORE If you will get from your druggist a 30 cent tube of Kondon's", I will gladly pay you your money back if it fails to do this for you: Keep your head clear 2. Relieve catarrh 3.

Street car traf fic ceased on all lines ln this city shortly after midnight as a result of the failure of the government arbitra tion commission to settle the conflict. between the Cuban Railway company and Its employes. The strike movement begun by the transportation em ployes will be followed by all other union men, according to announce, ment. Apparently the second general strike in Cuba within a month has begun. The union of linotypists has voted to Join in Vie general tieup, and it is possible that Havana will again be without newspapers tonight. Logan W. Page Dies. Chicago, Dec. 10. Logan Walter Page, director of the United States bureau of public roads, and brother of Walter Hines Page, former ambas sador to Great Britain, was dead here today of heart disease. He was 48 years old. Children Love Cascarets" Keep your little Pets healtny, strong and full of play by giving a harmless candy Cascaret at the first sign of a white tongue, feverish breath, sour stomach or a cold. Nothing else straightens up a bilious, or constipated youngster like these delight ful cathartic tablets Only ten cents a box. TO MOTHERS I While all children detest castor oil, calomel, pills and laxatives, they really love to take Cascarets because they taste like candy. Cascarets "work" the nasty bile, sour fermentations and constipation poison from the child's .tender stomach, liver and bowels without pain or griping. Cascarets never disappoint the worried mother. Each ten cent box of Cascarets contains directions for children aged one year old and upwards as well as for adults absolutely safe and harmless! TO FREE THE SEA England Js Giving Her Stand on the Peace Topic. Will Be One of Gravest Prob lems of Conference. London, Dec ,10. One of the grav est problems at the peace conference will be based on what is meant by "Freedom of the seas," and what con cessions Great Britain Is going to make in that direction, said Sir Fred erick E. Smith, attorney general in a speech at Liverpool. He added that he was engaged in preparing a mem orandum on the subject for the war cabinet. "America has rendered brilliant service in the cause of civilization," Sir Frederick said, "and Great Bri tain is bound- to approach the confer ence with a determination to concede everything possible to American sen timent and American views, having regard for national security and ex istence of ths empire. Americans must remember that the seas are free to every one in peace time, and that to none has that free dom been denied. In time of war one might as well talk of the freedom of the land as the freedom of the seas. Imagine Belgium, Northern France or Serbia talking about freedom of the land. The moment war arises, srreat coercisive and primeval forces assert tnemseives ana the region of law is abandoned for the assertion of naval and military forces. Belligerents dur ing tne war had a right to carry on war. Neutrals had the right to carry on iraae. But ir there was a collision between the right of belligerents to put restraint upon the enemy and the right of neutrals to carry on trade. the subordinate 'right of the neutrals naa to give way to the imperious pri mary right of the belligerent. "It has been recognized for more than three centuries that a nation which Is supreme Is as much entitled to Impose its will maritimely on in ferior enemies by blockade as a na tion stronger on land is able to im pose its will militarily on a weaker nation. "I am not sure that Great Britain will not have to say to the allies at the conference: 'We shall be quite satis fied with such a definition of freedom of the seas as will enable the British navy In the unfortunate event of ruture wars to do exactly what the British navy, aided by the American navy has been doing for the last eighteen months. HART IS HEARDTODAY Harvard Professor Appears Today Be fore Senate Committee. Washington, Dec. 10. Prof. A. Bushnell Hart of Harvard was sched uled to testify at the German propa ganda probe today. Hart's name appeared in a list seized among other German papers, styled, "Important list of names." Professor Hart appeared at his own request. Senator Overman, chairman of the committee, said that a recess of two or three days would probably be taken following today's hearing. A number of other men named ln the list have asked to be heard. Instructions regarding editorial pol icy to be pursued, sent by Hearst to editors in his employ, will be read into the record today. This was decided at an executive session of the com mittee. Senator King, Utah, objected to including the messages on the ground that they were not germain to the subject. The Janitors Again. Chicago, Dec. 10. Chicago flat janitors today were figuring on an other coup to replace the one that broke up their meeting with realty men Monday night. Claiming that they should be paid for twenty-four hours work because they were liable to be called at any time, they demand a 40 per cent increase in wages. Enter All La Chape lie. Cologne, Dec. 7 (delayed) French and American troops officially entered Aix La Chapelie today and took over the occupation of that German city from the Belgians. Allied flags were flown in the Frederick William place where the allied generals assembled to take the salute of troops. Into Ma yen Now. London, Dec. 9. American forces entered Mayen, near Coblenz, on Fri day. This was reported by the Wolff Bureau of Berlin as an entry into Mayence. "GET" SUB FOR WILSON Convoy Stages Thrilling Show for President In Mid-Ocean. On Board TJ. S. S. George Washing ton. Dec. 10 (by wireless to the A. P.). President Wilson stood on the bridge of the George Washington Monday afternoon and saw a United States destroyer stage a thrilling demonstration of the work of re pulsing a submarine attack. A touch of realism was given by the drill of the men on board the liner and the convoying ships. The great liner was gliding thru the tropical waters 10c e a chip on a duck pond when bugles and alarm bells called the men to battle stations. President Wilson was taken to the bridge by Captain McCauley so that he might get a better view of the demonstra tion. A destroyer which had been lagging far astern suddenly leaped forward, her funnels vomiting smoke and white spray dashing from her bow as she tore thru the water at a clip of thirty knots an hour. As the destroyer came abeam of the liner depth bombs were dropped and great geysers- were thrown high into the air as the war ship zigzagged its way thru the waters, beneath which was supposed to lurk the enemy submarine. Each explosion was distinctly felt on board the George Washington. The con cussions sounded like heavy blows be ing struck against the side of the vessel. President Wilson was most inter ested in the demonstration and asked questions about it. going into the most minute detail. The George Washing ton was to pass into the Azores this morning and turn .northward on the last leg of the voyage. There will be no stop at the Azores. The Cold Killed Him. Chicago, Dec. 10. Frederick "Rex" Weber, chairman of the film section of the Chicago war savings stamp com mittee and promoter of a "smile" film to be sent overseas, was dead here today from a cold contracted while directing the picture.

Frederic J. Haskins, Director, Washing ton, r. c. One of the first articles of com merce to show a decline in price, since the end of the war is motor cars. The reduction In price serve to 'illustrate how Intimately price is connected with the volume of production. The out put of automobile factories was great ly reduced by the action of the gov ernment, while we were engaged In the war. Tbe factories now are getting back to a peace bast and prices al ready -have- begun to decline. Food prices must follow a similar law. As production overtakes and passes de mand, prices will decline. When food costs have fallen there may appear some lessening of the wages paid to labor but not sooner. As long as food prices keep up, wages will keep up. As long as wages keep up, the price of steel and copper, and almost every thing else will keep up. Wages are the big Item In operating expenses. As long as present wages are being paid, the product of labor can only be sold profitably at a price closely approximating the present price level. The future therefore depends on the farmer and stock raiser! He alone can reduce the general level of prices. The decline in the price of motor cars hows merely that manufacturers took advantage of the curtailment of the volume of output to reap profits, pre viously impossible. The position of woman In Industry must be determined, declares the Christian Herald. But the probability Is thai woman will do the determining for herself. Speaker Champ Clark took an op timistic view of the future In his speech in. Baltimore this week, when he declared that President Wilson would succeed in bringing about free dom of the seas at the Versailles con gress. Any agreement on this sub ject probably would stand Just as long as Great Britain willed It and no long' er. She has made It plain already that Bhe has no intention of reducing her naval armament. With freedom of the seas established, what need could any country find for a huge navy. It Is to prevent Just that thing I that navies are maintained, primarily. is It conceivable that England would permit an armed force to pass thru the Sues canal to attack her Indian possessions T Can anybody Imagine this country's allowing transports bearing an armed force to traverse the Panama canal for the purpose of at tacking one of the Spanish American countries? Kefiody pretends to know what ths president meant by freedom of the. sea, but it is improbable that he will Obtain Its adoption in Its literal1 sense. v It Is reported that Holland will be Called upon to cede a part of the pro vince of Llmburg to Belgium. This, probably will be satisfactory to the outside world, provided it does not in terfere with the supply of celebrated cheese which bears the name of that part of The Netherlands. A Garden City man. It la held by the supreme court, must spend a year In prison because he was found with a bottle of whisky in his possession. Serves him right. No man should be permitted to hoard whisky in these times of scarcity. Government expenditures in Novem ber readhed the new high record of f 1,935,249,000, the treasury depart ment has announced. Officials at tributed these huge expenditures to the fact that the government 1 now paying for the tremendous output of war munitions reached a month or two ago. "They also expect that the ex pense of liquidating contract and pay' ing lump sums to contractors will keep the monthly outlay at high figures for some time. During November $1, G55,0El,000 was spent for war pro duction and other expenses incurred by this government and $278,949,000 was loaned to the allies. Receipts from fourth liberty loan bonds reached $3,142,442,000 In November, making the total sum paid on the fourth loan 15,489,191,000, much more than is ac tually due now. Nearly SI, 000,000, 000 came in In November from the sale of certificates of indebtedness. INFLUENZA AND BUSINESS. Health before business most as suredly. But isn't it possibleMo enjoy both? Topeka, at this time, Is suffering in health and business. Is this necessary? That is the question that is of no little concern to the business that rep resents a large part of the prosperity of the city. The influenza ban undoubtedly has been a severe blow to down town busi ness. It has regulated shopping hours to such an extent that the Christmas stocks are still weighin:; down the shelves when at this time of the sea son the buying should be at its height. The city health board allows the stores to open at 9 o'clock in the morning end remain open until 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The health authorities without a doubt are sincere in their belief that this is of advantage in controlling the epidemic. But doe it? That is the question. The board of health made these rules on the assumption that they would prevent shoppers from crowd ing the street cars during the rush period of the day. Possibly the health officials are correct in their view. To the citisen who is able to main tain proper fear for the spread of dis ease and sympathy for the business man who is bound to lose heavily on the Christmas trade, it seems that an amendment to these rules could be ordered without endangering the health of the community. Is It more dangerous to crowd the stores during the short hours than to crowd the street cars? It is apparent that all Topeka shop pers are not street car patrons. Hun dreds of persons do their buying after coming down town by motor car or on foot hundreds of them. In these 4ays when street car riding is discouraged the pedestrian population undoubtedly has nearly doubled. People are awak ening to the fact that health can be gained and disease avoided by relying upon the sidewalk for "transporta tion." The great decrease in surface car patronage in the last week indi cates this. Furthermore, the curbing? along Kansas avenue are lined daily with automobiles. It must be remembered that the business men of the city areVarrying a great load on their shoulders. They bought heavily for the state teachers' convention. The convention was called off on account of the Influenza. All other state conventions In the city have been postponed Indefinitely. The out of town trade is almost nothing people are afraid to risk contracting the disease. The farmers have practi cally confined their trade to Chicago catalogs. Now comes the holiday shop ping near-ban and the merchants must suffer and they have suffered. Bather than Jam business into the short hours now in force wouldn't it be Justifiable for the city board of health to add an hour to the present schedule? Granted that business would be spread over a larger time area, that street 'car traffic naturally has decreased, that walking and motor car traffic has Increased, it seems only fair to the business man. This argument, of course, must not be construed to be applied only as a means of increasing business. It is made on the belief that it would not endanger public health. Health al ways must be given first consideration. WASTING LABOR. Those who expect a lack of employ ment for the soldiers soon to return to their homes, or a decline in wages, apparently fall to take Into considera tion the influx of European labor which was continuous before the war. but which now haa almost ceased. In the five years before the upheav al of Europe by Germany the number of Immigrant coming into this coun try averaged, annually more than 1, 000,000. In the two years immediate ly preceding the outburst of the Cen tral Power the average was more than 1,200,000. But beginning with the middle of 1914 immigration into the United States from the Old World dropped like a shot. In the twelve months following there were only 326,000. and this, of course, largely from the countries not aflame with war. In the next twelve months there was a fall below the 300,000 mark, and since then the fall ha been steady. There Is no doubt that if there had been no war in Europe this" country would have received from all the world between August 1,. 1914, and today 1,000,000 more workers than came here. With the enormously en larged productive capacity of the na tion, with its industrial activity great ly Increased, with Its economic energy exceedingly intensified, we should need today, if the country were back on a peace basis, all those foreign worker that did not come to us in the last four years and a half and many hundreds of thousands besides that would have come in response to the natural law' demand for more and more labor. Tet, with the war ended nearly a month ago, it. is pointed out by the Investment News, the United States government continues to squander material on making munitions and other war supplies, to squander coal In providing power for such mills and factories, to squander labor. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL. INFORMATION BUREAU. FREDERIC J. IIA8KIN." Director. Washington. D. C. BRAINS IN THE CAPITAL. Washington, D. C, Dec One of the greatest innovations which the war has brought to America is the general use of really first-class brains in the business of government. One of the most vital lessons which the American people must learn from the war is the importance of having such brains employed in their govern ment and of paying for such brains what they are worth or what is nec essary to get them. It is not too much to say, in the opinion of authoritative students of the question, that the future of the country depends upon the payment of more adequate salaries to the men who conduct its business. Everyone knows that our participa tion in the war could not have been the brilliant success it was if a great many men, who would never have entered government office except In war-time, had not laid down their businesses and come to Washington. Almost every one of the great war time organizations the food and fuel administrations, the war industries board and the council of national de fense were headed by and composed largely of men who would never have entered politics in -peace time. The work of reconstruction calls for brains of Just as high as order as the work of making war. America can not afford to go back to the regime of government by low-salaried profes sional politicians if she is to main tain the standards of national effi ciency and the position of inter national importance which she has at talned (luring the war. But the men who came here at great sacrifices and as a patriotic duty are going home every day. The gov ernment offers them no permanent career, no adequate reward. This is the thing that must be changed. Not only have a few men or tne highest ability entered the govern ment service in the past, but those few have nearly always left it again be cause of the poverty of the reward. Tou may persuade men of means, and even some men without means, to re spond to a great emergency for a small reward, but the only way to in sure a steady supply of first class brains for any business is to pay what the brains are worth. This point has Just been driven home by the resignation of Secretary McAdoo. Whatever other motives or causes may have lain behind his resignation, there Is no doubt but the need for more money was one of them. This man, who had demonstrated to everyone's satisfac tion that' he had administrative abili ties of the very highest order, and a fine conscience In public service, is actually embarrassed by grocery bills. Not long ago Fitzgerald of New York, who was then chairman of the house committee on appropriations, resigned for the announced purpose of making enough money properly to educate his children. There was no other reason for his resignation. In the retirement to private life of these two men, the American people have lost two of the best financial brains that have been in the ajovera ment service since the Civil war. Mr. Fitzgerald's fight against pork-barrel methods on the house committee) was scarcely less valuable than Mr. Mc Adoo's long-headed and resourceful management of the treasury depart ment. Each of these men has saved the country millions. Either of them would be a bargain at fifty thousand dollars a year a profitable national investment. One of them "received $7,500 and the other receives 312,000. These salaries were inadequate for men in official positions before the war. Since the war, the purchasing value of a dollar in Washington has declined between SO and 40 per cent. Everywhere in the government service the story is the same. The government employs scientists of all sorts It pays them from three to five thousand dollars a year each. Many men of first rate abilities remain for these amounts, because many scient ists work more for love of work than for money, and unless he also pos sesses business brains of a high order. a scientist cannot make much money anyhow. Tet the government is con stantly losing some of Its very best scientific brains, Just as It loses Its best administrative brains. For ex ample, the Dupont Powder Company is converting some of its great am munition factories into food factor ies. It needs food experts. It is get ting them from the department of agriculture by offering them about twice what the government pays them. This thing is happening all the time. In a certain western state the law compels the owners of reat tim ber tracts to organize a forestry serv ice to prevent fires. Thia forestry service, maintained by an association of timber owners, takes away from the United States government seme of its best scientific foresters. The war was won because the ad ministration was able to bring to its assistance some of the best brains in America- Peace is being made on the same basis. The president's peace ex pedition with its twenty-three experts and its tons or maps ana manuscripts, is typical of the new method. Igno- ranee and expediency have given place to exact scientific knowledge and to forethought in the conduct of national afairs. Reconstruction must proceed by the same method. Every project of re construction calls for administrative brains of the very best, and for exact scientific knowledge. It seems to be agreed on all hands that whatever is Ldone with the railroads, they must not go back to the condition or enforced competition and conflicting regula tion by state and national govern ments. Regulation must be uniform and enlightened. That means a com mission of experts of the highest type possibly several regional commis sions. It means that the government must pay for its railroad administra tive brains as much as the railroads are willing to pay, if the new regula tion or control is to be an intelligent co-operation between government and capital. The great project of the Interior de partment to provide lands for soldiers by a system of government reclama tion and colonization also calls for the highest abilities. It is primarily a plan to increase the national food supply by putting land tenure and agriculture on a more scientific basis. It cannot succeed without good business brains to conduct it and first-class scientific brains to plan it. The best engineers and the bet executives are none too good for this task of converting- the last of the American wilderness into farms. If the task is conducted as the building of the Panama canal was con ducted by paying men what they are worth and putting one strong man with broad powers in charge it will succeed.- If it is conducted like our so-called river and harbor improve ments by pork barrel appropriations and local contracts It will be a waste of public money; The American people must realize the fact that the way to save money In taxes Is to put first-class brains in places of power.

ELIZABETH THOMPSON. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I always lived on a farm until I married and came here. I had a high school edu cation and have read a great deal. After I had been here about three weeks my sister-in-law called on me. She is a society woman and spends most of her time going to card par ties. A few weeks later she invited me to a card party at her house and I accepted. When I got there I found that she was making a convenience of me. One of the guests disap pointed her the last minute and she had to get some one to play in her place. She also called upon me to assist with the serving and help the maid and I had most of that to do. I had a miserable time and made up my mind I would never go into her house' again. But ane had a dinner party for my father-in-law and I tried it again. She was so cold and sarcastic that day that my husband said he would never take me there again and advised me not to associate with her. It haa come to me that my sister- in-law is telling the women that I am very common and that she does not care to make a sister of me. This hurts my feelings terribly, and keeps me, I think, from making many irienas, Decause ine people are airaiu of my sister-in-law's opinion and they think if they are friendly to me she wilt iooK down on them. I get very lonely. What can I do to make more friends? CAST OUT. Attend church and Red Cross. In both places you will meet various people and will have an opportunity to make rrlends. Do you worry about vour sister-in law's remarks and appear not to have heard or tnem. People will like you regardless of what she says if you go 1 half way to be pleasant and yet do not appear too eager to make friends. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls of nineteen. Both of us work during the day and have only one night free during the week. Could you suggest something that we could do at home to make some money? THANK YOU. About the only thing you can do is sew or iron. Peahaps you could darn stockings for some family, or do fancy Ironing. You really ought to have one night for recreation.

Jean Ward, dragging two tired and listless legs up the narrow iron stair case, passed down the tier of dressing rooms, hot as a Jail in the sultry Au gust air, and, with a sudden buret of energy, flung herself into the last room In the tier and slammed the door. As she kicked two damp slip pers from her slender, tired feet, a noisy chorus greeted her from the ad Joining room. "Thanks f r th' breeze, kid," shrilled one voice, whom Jean recognized as Flo Darrett, of the Dancing Darretts, a fellow act on the Olympia bill. "Bein's y"ve hogged th' only room with a window, guess y' don't mind leaving) this door open, do y'?" Flo's head appeared In the doorway be tween the two rooms, and with it a cloud of cigarette smoke. Jean shud dered slightly, and shook her head. No use being angry she thought. After all, perhaps it was hot in those inside rooms. It was none too cool In her own. opening as it did on the narrow back alley, with a fifty-foot wall be yond. Oh. no, I don t mind," sne answer-H ed listlessly, then drew a deep breath of the thick, tobacco-laden air. "Only please don't smoke. It's hot enough already." Di mi!" came the mocking re sponse, as Jean turned to draw off her moist costume, and to escape the cloud of offensive smoke that came with It she drew her chair near the window and fell into a discontented reverie. What was the matter with Bart Fendall, her dancing partner, she used? Why did he Insist- on her doing'this three-a-day sumnter sea son? She remembered his promise. before they left Salisbury, to star on their road to fame he had promised vacation in July. It would be hot then, he had told her, and they would need a rest back among the shady willows away from the white lights with fresh country vegetables, pure cold milk, and here they tarried. In a hot stuffy theater, with every wood sy nacK-nrop, every line or "Down Home," the rural sketch that preceded them on the bill, fairly shrieking to them the call of the. wild. And Bart had been growing so different of late so silent, so unresponsive, so differ ent from the good old friend he had been down home- Maybe, thought she, he merely reflected her own mood. She was feeling Jaded, she was looking sallow. In fact, so different from Mabel- Woods, the new comedi enne on the bill. Bart had been fawnfhg around her a lot lately, was tne next discomforting; thought. How. wondered Jean, could she keep that fresh appearance, that creamy white complexion? Maybe that was why Bart was hanging on and keeping her working, too, she angrily added to herself. She raised herself to her feet and stared in the mirror. Her face was red from the heat, her eyes a trifle bleary something fell on the dress ing table before her, and she picked it up gingerly and stared at it wrath fully, then flung it out the window. 'Please, 1 she called to the Darretts. In the next room, "don't throw those lighted stumps In here. Something might catch fire." "In that case," came the answer. with, Flo's cackling laugh, "here's sometnins to put it out wiin. .Ana close to Jean's head, with cattish venom back of it, hurtled a small bot tle, landing on her pink bat, and spilling a little of its amber fluid on the -pink perfumed brim. Jean took the bottle of liquor and hurled it re sentfully out of the window, then turned and slammed shut the con necting door and pushed" her trunk against it. She hurried into her stage costume ani went downstairs, her face red with ange.. Meanwhile, In the back alley, Andy Scobell ,the Olympia's property man, sprang up from his chair with a cry and flung a lighted cigaret stump from his trousers. "What th" he yelled upward at the window, above, and counted its relative positioti so as to place its oc cupant. "Why, it's J "What's th" row, Andy?" chimed In a bass voice and Andy turned and faced Bart Fendall. "She's smokln'," gurgled Andy, hot ly, gesticulating madly at the upper window. "Y'r partner, and it's against th' ru A bottle fell between them, and Bart, stooping, picked it up and sniffed in horror at the contents. "It's whisky." he muttered, dazed ly, and then turned a horrified glance above him. "Jean!" he" called, but no head appeared at the window. "She's havin' a party," growled Andy. "Fine li'l country kid y're workin" with." But Bart, entering the stage door in a sort of stupor, missed Scobnll's mocking leer. Was thi Jean? The little, happy-hearted, pretty creature he had promised to look out for. He walked toward the wings and came upon her by surprise. "Why, Jean, I thought he be gan, and then as his hand bent over her hat he smelted whisky. "You thought what?", eh? glanced up at him apathetically, and caught his puzzled frown, for he expected to smell tcbacco in her breath, but met the odor of violets. Worse and worse, thought he, she was trying to hide her infamy from him. "Oh, nothing," he growled in a a whisper, and then they tripped on the stage. But the strain and the heat had taken their toll of her slender strength and aseveral times she nearly tripped him as they whirled around the stage. He was horror-strucltt She must be intoxicated. And then, as they bowed themselves off the Jeers of several in the audience smote on his ears. He hurled toward his dress ing room. "Bart," she cried after him, "aren't you going to take an encore!" "With you?" he growled over his snouider as he hastened on. "Never! I'm thru!" As he disappeared in the back of the stage she gave a little cry and ran after him. Timidly she opened the door of dressing room and then started back, for a woman's hat and clothes met her eyes and struck her with terror. "So that's why?" she gasped to her self, "I I'm going home." An hour later, as Bart Fendall dis consolately passed the parlor in the Garden boarding house, he heard two loud voices, and then at what he heard he stood transfixed. "Th' poor simp." one was saying, and he recognised the voice as Flo Darrett's. "Th' idea of a country Jane comin" up here an' grabbin' all th" favors. An then cryln' about it in th' bargain. She's talk in' about quittin' goin" home tonight." T' can't please some people." came the indignant answer.

It gets me how these guys '11 fall fer a baby-doll milkmaid." Bart had heard enough. With four bounds he cleared the steps to the second floor and flung himself into a room at the end of the hall. A tired, disheveled little girl with irfoist eyes and drooping figure turned in sur prise to meet him. "'Jean, -I'm so sorry,, he gasped, brokenly. "I didn't know, I She drew back stiffly, but her eyes had a hurt look. "Don't apologize Bart," she an swered in a low tone. "I I suppose you like her. I I don't blame you. I I'm such a frump." "Like her echoed Bart, puzzled. "A frump you? Never! You're the sweetest, darlingest little girl in North America, Europe, Asia. Af "Don't Bart," she protested, as he leaned toward her eagerly. "I know all. I I can't blame you. Mabel's an awfully pretty girl a "What's all this?" he queried, daz edly. "Mabel? Mabel who?" "I saw for myself," she asserted, quietly. "I I was looking for you in B, and I saw her things Then I de cidedly to go home back to Salis bury." Bart stared at her dazedly, then his vision cleared and, leaping toward her, he drew her into his arms, despite her weak resistance and laughed aloud. "You saw her In B?" he guffawed. shaking with laughter. "Oh oh." Then he grew serious. Why, you little dear, they changed dressing rooms on me tonight. I gave mine up willingly, as I'm going to take a vaca tion. I I thought I'd work a couple of week later -to get a little honey moon fund for you and me. Er I got fooled on a stump and you got stumped on a fool. Why, Mabel can't hold a, candle to you you little darl ing. So let's both quit being fools and take to th' stumps th' old moss grown stumps down by th cool Chop yuh?" And ths answer she dreamily whis pered partially accounts for the Danc ing Darrets present occupancy of the room over the alley, with a window thru which to shoot their stumps.

TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH' DOROTHY DIX TALKS BT DOROTHY DIX World's Highest Paid Woman Writer. Keeping Up With Hubby. 2. It is a matter of common observa tion that a man's success in the out side world so often brings disaster upon him, and that about the time the self made man acquires a place in the sun he generally also acquires a di vorce. The is invariably set down as the man's fault, and many tears are shed over the pathetic lot of his forsaken old wife. The truth is that in the ma jority of cases the blame is wholly the wife's, and the reason that she haa been left behind is because, she re fused to come along. The man would have been glad for her to come along with him if she would have done so, but she refused. She wouldn't keep step with him. She wouldn't prepare herself to go where he was going, and the result was the fate that happens to all laggards. The procession swept on without her. In such cases the husband is just as much entitled to our sympathy as the wife. If it is said for the woman who is left behind, it is equally sad for the man who must go on without her. He too is lonely, and his loneliness is tinged by a sense of injustice because he knows that the tragedy might have been averted if only his wife had had the strength to break away from old ideas and habits that she had, and if she had had the pluck and industry to Improve herself and raise herself as he has done. The shadow and the triumph of many a great man that, takes all of the glory out of his day is the grubby little wife of his youth, who doesn't even try to understand the things that interest him. and who nags and frets for her petty economies, and clings to provincial ideas that she tries to force him down to. Women are more completely the victims of habit than men are. They find it harder to change their point of view and their ways of doing things than men do, but unless they acquire dexterity in adjusting themselves to their husbands and their husbands' fortunes, they can count on qualifying for the role of the well known neg lected wife of whom we hear ao much. Indeed, it may be said that a wife's salvation consists in her being a light ening change artist, especially if she is married to a. hustling, wide awake American man. For it is quite as like ly for her to need to know at one time of her life how to spend money as it was at another time to know how to save it. Also, it may be Just as much her wifely duty to help her hus band eat fine dinners at restaurants as it once was to cook dinners for him at home. Moreover, whether It is her duty or not, it is her safety, and her only chance of keeping her husband. For the man who wants to Iplay is going to play, and there is no lack of fluffy little playfellows looking for such game as he is when he wanders forth alone. You've got to keep up with hubby or lose him. Take your choice, ladies.

"We are doing our best to set up a businesslike republic where prosperity may be distributed. Already we have an eight-hour day instead of compel ling workman to labor for eleven hours. We have abolished titles and prepared a law to care for the unem ployed. Klection laws which will give the minority a chance to hold office and which will recognize women, altho they may not hold the highest posts such as president, have been prepared. The division of large estates is one of the items in our program. We also seek to develop electric power for our factories by an international plan and to build a transversal railroad run ning to the Black sea." M. Klafoc. minister of the national defense of the Czecho-Slovak repub lic, spoke freely of conditions in the country. He said: "There are three points which it Is necessary for the allies, especially America, to understand: "First our weak military position; second, that we are menaced byBol shevism from without, and that third, we have food but for two or three months. ITnder the first head, both Austrxans and Hungarians appear to ignore th conditions of the armistice. We think the French were too slow in occupying Budapest, and also that the allies should take- possession of arsenals and munition factories at Vienna, Pressburg and other points. Otherwise these arms may be used against us or the allies later. We would like particularly to have Ameri can troops with us both for military reasons and because they would help to establish friendly relations for the future They would also show our people what a republic means. Their presence here would bring immediate order by moral effect. If the aMies de lay our fate may be that of Serbia," FOR SOLDIEiTbOYS R-ecreation Program Is Agreed Oa for the Hospitals. Washington.

Saturday the ex-emperor visited Zuylestein. a Ben tinck family property, where he in dulged in tree cutting, for the sake of exercise. The quiet of the village here is oc casionally startled by wild rumors of plots upon the former emperor's life, but the "suspicious person found lurking about the castle" generally turns out to be a harmless newspaper man in search of copy. Another ru i?sIIr mor, ol which no confirmation can be had, is that Herr Hohensollern has bought a villa in th neighborhood. The entrance to the castle is still strictly guarded. NEWAVERAGE PRICES Hogs W ill Sell at 'ew Levels SI 7.50 at Chicago. Chicago. Dec. 10.

Revision ot the Kansas road laws will be one ol! the important matters presented to the state legislature which convenes January 14. The j state highway commission recently j held session here and discussed pro- posed changes in the present laws and possible new legislation it will seek. The members of the state highways-; board are R. S. TIernan of Fort Scott; E. R. Moses of Great Bend, and Gov. 1 Arthur Capper. The board will seek a much larger appropriation than was given the highway commission two years ago $25,00u. A modern twist has been given highway matters in late years by the mounting proportions of the motor license fees Under the present sys tem this fee reverts to the county where it originated for the purpose of meeting the expense of road drag ging. But now that this annual in come has reached the JS0O,0ou mar in Kansas, state highway officials see j the need of revision in the Kansas i law, similar to that undergone in more than hair the other states in the I Union already, it is said. This pro-1 posed revision removes the restrictions of the purpose to which the license fund can be put. that of road drag-1 ging, and would make the fund avail-; able for road building, either thru i handling by the state commission or by the indiidual counties. It is pointed out that in some counties where the number of motor cars is large, the fund is too great for merely road dragging, and the county com missioners are placed in a quandary as to what to do with it. One state road official has declared the distri bution of the fund is not equitable, because some counties containing large cities get a large slice, while an adjoining county of small population gets a small portion, yet it is expected to maintain cross county highways largely for the utilization of residents of the neighboring, largely populated county. With the definite state high way system of 6,500 mile already laid out, it is advocated that all or a share of the motor license fund should be used in perfecting this state highway with hard surface roads. Still another proposal for the use of at least a part of the motor license fund is that it be used in payment as interest on road building funds. It is pointed out that by the payment of $54i,000 a year Interest, the state could float a $9,000,000 road bond indebtedness, and have left from the motor license fund an annual sum suf ficient to retire the bonds in twenty years. In looking forward, also, it is seen that the motor license fund is destined to grow larger from year to year. KANSANSJJN A TOUR Corps of Speakers to Arkansas for 1 Red Cross. Acting on the plan outlined by the headquarters of the southwestern divi sion of the American Red Cross at St. Louis, the first corps of speakers from Kansas have left for a tour of Arkan sas in the interest of the coming Christmas roll call of the Red Cross. The plan as designed by the divisional headquarters is that the five states in the division exchange speakers so that the traditional lack of consideration of home talent may be overcome. The speakers who left Kansas Mon day for Arkansas are. Rev. Dr. E. J. Kulp and the Rev. Percy Atkins, of Topeka, and the Rev Ir. A. M. Brodie, of Wichita, to Little Rock. Rev. Dr. Frank L. Loveland to Tex arkana. Rev. Robert G. Burt, of Lawrence, to Pine Bluff. Al F. Williams, of Columbus, to Newport. Rev. R. B. A. McBride, of Emporia, to Dermott. C. C.

PINKSTONJJUT OF IT Police O Hi OCT Not m Party to Apci Theater Suit. In an effort to provide a place of amusement which the people of his own race in Topeka might attend. K. K. Pinkston. a colored police ofScer, opened the Apex motion picture the ater at 302 Kansas ave aue at a cost of S3. tOO to himself. He had Ion? noticed the fact, ha says, thit there was no motion picture theater in To peka which negroes might attend. That was in 1913. A short time ago J. M. Heery and others, as administrators uf the es tate of Margaret Heery. to whom the theater belonged, brought suit in the court of Topeka against Pinkston, 3s president, and John M. Wright, as secretary, of the theater, to recover $180 back rent and gain possession of the premises. Monday, Judge Rad Lee rendered a decision. But so far as Pinkston Is concerned, the judg ment is invalid, it seems. Pinkston says be transferred his share In the business to John M. Wright in 11. long before the rent had become in arrears. Pinkston says he ddVsn't owe a cent in the world and doesn't in tend to start this late tn life. LETTTXG THE MEDICS OUT. O. T. C for Doctors at Fort Rilcjr Cleared in a Week. Junction City. Kn-.

Weisgerber, formerly of Topeka, has arrived in the United States. He returned on the transport j Sierra, Captain Weisgarber was a practicing physician at Perry for a number of years and returned from France with a number of wounded of ficers. Dr. H. L. Clark, city health officer. has received a letter from his brother- in-law. ftaeut. W. A. Heap, which tells of the manner in which Captain Weis gerber received his first wound. While the fighting was progressing: along the He use a soldier next to Cap- tain Weisgerber fell from the bullet of a Hun sniper. After giving the wound ed soldier first aidj the captain was sitting by his side enjoying a can of bully-beef when he received a bullet in the leg from the same sniper. Pick ing up the soldier's rifle the captain started out to do a little private snip ing. After exchanging a few shots the German scored asrain. this time shoot ing the captain thru the heel. While crawling to a place of greater safety he encountered Lieutenant Heap, who in turn gave him first aid. After re turning again to duty Captain Weis gerber was gassed and sent to a base hospital. Both of these officers were mem bers of the unit of medical officers sent from Fort Riley in May. After landing in France they were sent at j once to the rear of the fighting about j Chateau Thierry. Of twenty who went j out from rort Riley there were only nine of them left on duty in the" week preceding the signing of the armisuce.

All this money is paid to the farmer through the open market in competition with large and small packers, ship pers, speculators and dsalers. The farmer, faeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in cash, cn the spot, C3 soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up. Some cf the money paid to the farmer during a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied tip in goods on the way to market and in b3l3 owed to the company. t This gives cn idea of the volume of the Swift Company bud necs, and the requirements of financing' it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in dl parts of the country and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

Heretofore a big crops of speakers, slng ts, and entertainers bave borne tbe brunt t (lie publicity campaign, braced and bol stered of rourne by the advertising inserted in the newspapers by the merchants. But n the campaigu which starts next week, i he merchants and business men of the ci-y arc the sole dependence of the publicity committee In charge of the campaign. It is to them that the committee looks to carry ihe meat of the message of the Ueu Cross to the ieople. The newspapers will give generously or their news space for the furthering of the campaign, but this must be augmented and broadened by a liberal lire of display advertising If it is to be effective. It is therefore urged that the merchants and the business men of Topeka and of Mhawnee county use all tbe display adver tising space possible ill tbe newspapers dur ing the coming drive to the end that To peka and Shawnee county may register a lOX membership In the American IW Cross society by 'aANB. County Campnlgn Manager. V. A. UlltV, Chairman l'ubliclty Committee. The Christmas roll call of the Red Cross In Topeka will be carried out in the time honored manner, according to an announcement today by D. W. Mulvane. county manager for the drive. That in, according to the quali fication attached to the statement by Mulvane, the manner will be time honored in that the regular campaign teams will be used in the solicitation of memberships. The unique feature of this cam paign is the fact that Toueka's big corns of speakers and entertainers who have heretofore taken an active pan In every war work drive will sit on the sidelines and except for the con tribution of their own dollars will have little else to do except wish for a. return of the good old days when the flu ban was off and the man with a golden tongue was at a premium. The brunt of this campaign from the publicity standpoint Is to be car ried by Just two mediums. The mer chants are expected to do their part in carrying all the display advertising possible In the newspapers. The news papers themselves will give generously to the news stories. Never before in any other campaign have the cam paign officials been deprived of the advantage of mass meeting enthusi asm. Neither have they ever before been forced to depend exclusively on Just two advertising and publicity mediums. In his appeal today Mul vane stated that it was his conviction that both the merchants and the pa pers will do their full part in caring for the campaign.

Feed 325 Needy Families on Christmas hay. With living; as high in price as It is at present the Salvation Army is fac ing this year the hardest task in Its history. It has undertaken to feed no less than 32S needy families in To peka Christmas day. It has always from time immemorial done this. But according; to a statement made today by Adjt. W. G. Houser. unless the charitably inclined persons of Topeka make their contributions to the Christmas for the poor fund com mensurate with the cost of living;, some of these families are in dire danger of going; without the Salvation Army basket. Three, huts have been established on Kansas avenue where the citizelhs of Topeka may make their contributions for the fund. In front of Crosby broth ers and Pelletiers. and on the corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue the las sies of the Army are established In their 'front line" huts, waiting pa tiently In the cold for the money to drop in their kettles and which will enable them to furnish substantial "doughnuts and coffee" to the moth ers of some of the boys overseas. For according to Adjutant Houser. many of the families who will enjoy the bounty of the Salvation Army this Christmas tide are the families of men at the front. Deliver In Baskets. As is the usual custom the Christ mas dinners will be put up in basket form and will be delivered the day before the grreat world-wide holiday. The Boy Scouts will have charge of the delivery of the baskets this year, Houser said today, and the arrange- ments have already been completed wlln KBV- for Topeka. Each and every person In Topeka Is asked by Adjutant Houser to make a small contribution to the Christmas dinner for the poor fund as a mark of memorial lor the things the salvation Army may have done for that person's relative or friend in the trenches in France. He has also urged that per sons desiring to make contributions to the fund do so thru the booths on the avenue or direct thru one of his ac credited agents. Houser said today that he has at present no agents work ing In the residence districts of the city, and said that he expected to have none. So persons who do not expect to get to the business district befrre Christmas should mail their contribution to Adjutant Houser at Salvation Army headquarters in To peka. Xew York 8toek Market.

Spoke of U. S. Needing the Friendship of Germany. Washington, Dec 10. Government copies of telegrams signed by William Randolph Hearst, giving instructions regarding the policy of his newspapers and their correspondents during the war were reaa into me record ai 10- day's hearing of the senate commit tee investigating German propaganda. In a message to the New York American, February 24, 1917, Mr. Hearst outlined instructions to be cabled to William Bayard Hale, then a Hearst correspondent in Berlin and who, according to the evidence re cently produced, was on the German payroll without Hearst's knowledge. Mr. Hearst said he believed a vast ma ority of the people of America and jority of the people of America and entering the war, and concluded: "We earnestly desire to employ the influence of our country, not for the extension and protraction of the war, but for the promotion of a just and lasting peace." The Hearst message of Feb. 24, follows: "I firmly believe that the vast ma jority of the people of the 'United States are entirely undeslrous of war with Germany. I believe also that the people of Germany are equally un deslrous of war with the United States." "Under such circumstances I can not see why the century-old friendship ot the United States and Germany cannot be maintained and perpetuated by the high minded and humanitarian rulers and political leaders of our re spective countries. "We in America have Just celebrat ed the anniversary of Washington's birthday and this should remind us that the friendship of Germany and the United States was inaugurated by vvasmngion ana reaer c me lireat. two of the ablest and wisest and most' far-seeing statesmen that any nations have possessed in the history of the world. "May the statesmen of our respec tive countries today heed the advice and follow the footsteps of these two great leaders of men and builders of nations. "The course of my newspapers has been fair to Germany not because I am pro-German any more than I am pro-ally. I am merely patriotically interested in the welfare of my own country and altruistically interested in tne progress of the world. "I am sure that the United States will value in the future the consistent friendship of Germany as it has val ued it in the past and I think that most Americans realize that Germany like France, represents in Europe a political, social and economic progress similar to our own.

The rapidity with which domestic and world con ditions are shifting makes any at tempt to prescribe the taxes for 1920 now "fallacious and unsound," min ority members of the senate finance committee declared today in submit ting their minority report on the tax bill. The report was signed by every Re publican member of the committee save LaFollette, who announced he j had read aU 0her mity reports. Thomas. Colorado, filed a separate re- port as did Smoot. Utah. These were presented Just after Sen ator Simmons, committee chairman, had formally filed his majority report and opened discussion on the bill. The general minority report accept ed the 1918-1919 part of the bill as fair and equitable, but condemned any attempt to bind the government to taxes foj- 1920. "The fact that rapidly changing conditions while the bill was under consideration enabled the finance com mittee to reduce the taxes of $2,000, 000,000, furnishes a forcible illustra tion of the importance of legislating on the subject of taxation, so vital to the country with the utmost care and in the light of ascertained conditions," said the minority report, which was filed by Senator Penrose.

READJUST THE SALARIES Committee V ill Fix Than for All Postal Employes. Washington, Dec. 10. Creation of a congressional committee to determine a readjustment of salaries of all postal employes, including postmasters, Is proposed in the postoffice appropria tion bill for 1920, reported today to the house. Other provisions would make permanent the salary increase of 15 to 20 per cent given last year t most of the employes; authorize ex- l .ision of house to hniiHA ri11vrv service in aM communities adjacent to ctles having city delivery, and author- ize a 60 Per cent increase of clerk hire allowances at third class postof flees. The measure would permit the use of 2,1SS,000 for purchase of airplanes for extending the air mail service, and $1,000,000 for experimental motor truck marketing service. The bill carries J 359.657.577, or about $2,000,000 less than the 1919 bill. The department's estimates were reduced more than $9,000,000. In the 1918 fiscal year, postal revenues exceeded expenditures bv $19,626,774, after deducting all losses,! tne postmaster general reported to the committee. INDICT THEJ.W. W.

Employment Servicer ''6rlrmB; Out Flan In Topeka Tudav t The various methods which, may be used in replacing soldiers and. war workers in peace time industries with the least possible disruption of the la bor market, was the sole purpose of a meeting of delegates from the va rious cities in the .Eleventh labor dis trict of Kansas held at the United States employment office In Tooeka this afternoon. About fifteen delegates from the cities in the district were-present at the meeting today, each one of whom apparently had a plan in mimLwheje. by the absorption of the soldier work- j men could be completed. without much fuss. Most of the ideas were good 'and feasible, according to the sentiment of the men at the meeting, and it is expected that something definite and tangible will result from the exchange of ideas. It is planned that the United States employment service act as the clearing house be tween labor and employer, for the reason that less confusion will be caused by the use of the government agency than would be caused by the manipulations of private employment I concerns. A local committee to handle the la bor situation is to be formed in each city and town in the district. The efforts of these local committees will be confined to connecting the unem ployed men with jobs.

Mr. and Mrs. Ilif Felix have asked guests for an informal dinner party Saturday evening in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. George Davis, who will leave soon for a permanent residence in Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Griggs were planning a dinner party for Wednesday evening for Mr. and Mrs. Davis but had to give it up on account of the illness of their small daughter, Jane, who has the in fluenza. A real bargain counter sale is to be held by the members of the Social Service club this week at Mrs. Holl craft's flower shop. The club was to have held this sale immediately after Thanksgiving but owing to illness it has been postponed and will begin at J noon tomorrow and last the remain I der of the week or until all the arti cles are sold. After the postponement all the beautiful hand made articles have been gone over and marked down so there will be some excellent bargains in hand work. During an hour which the club had their work on sale at their bazaar at the Presbyterian church, they sold $160 worth and have $300 worth yet for sale. Especially attractive are the "baby things" which the different I members have made. The menvbers of the club, of which Mrs. William Kercher is president, will be in charge of the sale. Mrs. Hofl craft volunteered to let the club use her rooms free of charge and she also furnished beautiful decorations for the church, at the time they held their bazaar and cafeteria supper there on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The paper carry-all bags, which are- being sold by Miss MacLennan s com mittee, may be purchased at this bazaar and there will also be all kinds of attractive Christmas cards and stickers for sale.

Miss Poindexter was -a student in Bethany college here for several years. It almost always surprises our French, friends to learn that New Mexico and New Jersey are about as far apart as Carrie Nation and the Model License League. Some of them, educated by the movies, Imagine that cowboys roam thru the canyons adja cent to Wall street, New York, and that buffaloes woof and snort and pay the earth on Boston common. For our own part, most of us are in turn haaV as to the location of French places. It comes as a sort of shock to learn that Nice is not on the Atlantic coast, or that Lyon is not one of the base ports the names of which we can t use m our letters. And it is little short of shattering when the truth finally comes home to us that the province of Maine, France, is as inland as Iowa. Something tells us that, as a result of our sojourn here, the little Willies of the future will pay -even more at tention to the contents of their ioger- frles than the little Willies of the past paid to the copies of Diamond Dick and Frr.nk Merrlwell that they used to smuggle behind those bulky books. Something tells us, too, that the little Pierres of the future will be able to bound Oklahoma and define Kansas with, the best of us. Stars and Stripes, Use wisely all thru the winter the fruits and vegetables you canned and stored during the fall and summer months.

What more could anyone ask? Surely there is no need to go to the store for vege tables and fruit. An enormous shipping problem has been created by the large number of men we have overseas and by the pledge we have made to feed the al lies. The problem has grown enor mously with the ceasing of hostilities. We now have millions more people in newly liberated nations who look to us for food.

Word was received In Topeka to day of the death of Mrs. Horace Humphrey's mother. Mrs. Sarah Jen sen, in El Reno, Okla. Mrs. Humph reys went to El Reno, called by the ill ness of her mother, about two weeks ago, and was with her when her death occurred last night.

One of the women who had just be gun canteen work and hadn't yet learned the difference between a sec ond lieutenant and a general, claims the distinction of having; given Gen eral Wood a stick of candy.- "And he took it too and was nice enourh tp say that was his favorite kind of candy, she remarked- The young i.iatron saw an off icer s car on the back of the train, but she did not wish to slight any one so she passed her stick candy to the officer with, the kindly face and all the other of ficers who likewise took it. But had she known she was serving a general she would not have had the nerve to offer him anything less than a five pound box of candy, since some of the second lieutenants who have been served have been known to say, "No, I don't care for it, give it to the 'men'." When she joined the other workers of course she was told the rank of the officer she had served and replied, "Well, I might have known by his gracious manner that be was a general." j THERE'S A MAX IX OUR TOWX Who has bee'ri ill with influenza and while he was not at -death's door, he felt that he did not have what he 't would call a slight attacks His wife would answer the telephone several dozen times a day and reply, "Yes, he has a very light case of the flu. No, he isn't very sick!" when the man hearing it would remark, "The .idea, a light case, when I am lying here suf- faring!" So the nurse answered a call when his wife was out one day. "Yes," she said, "he has the flu and la a very sick man." She said she was reward ed for having stretched the truth by the look of satisfaction he wore when she returned to the room. At last someone understood his case. Notes and Personal Mention. Mrs. Mary Leighton, of Pasadena, Cal., is the guest ot Mrs. Charles S. Huffman.

The efforts of the leaders of the Russian Bolsheviki to strengthen themselves at heme t-y forming an effective alliance with the extremist factions in Germany are not proving successful. The Germans arc adopting some of the outward -forms of the Bolshevik governmental system and the administration of Germany by the Bolsheviki method of local Soviets is now in operation. But the essential factor in the Bolsheviki theory, that the workingmen should possess all po litical power and should abolish the middle and upper classes, has made no -marked impression upon the Ger mans. There is now proceeding a silent but persistent conflict between the Bolsheviki Idea of class war and the German idea of orderliness as to which shall dominate the other. The soviet principle of extensive self-government in local administrative areas has probably been accepted by the Germans for good. But, having gone this far the Germans are now plan ning to dominate reformed Russia. It is highly probable that if the Bol sheviki do not in the end throw Ger many into turmoil, the Germans will impress an orderly influence upon the Russians. This will mean the inevita ble spread of German influences in Russia and may lead to so strong an alliance as will threaten Europe with a new German menace. 0 Russia is now isolated by the rest of the world.

Judging from the countless prepara tions and treatments which-ore continually being ailrertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among drug gists as bitro-phosphate, which is inex pensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the neces sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos phate quickly produces a welcome trans formation In the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This increase in weight also carries with it a general Improvement In the health.

Eighteen football letters were awarded to members of the Washburn unit of the: student army training corps for prowess displayed on the Kansas gridirons this season. The let ter men are to receive the traditional sweater adorned with the big "W" as a reward for their labors on the foot ball field this fall. Brig. Gen. Charles I. Martin, former adjutant general of Kansas, today de nied statements carried in recent press dispatches announcing that he had been reduced to rank of colonel. General Martin has been retired from service with rank of brigadier gen eral and was retired from the service of the 35th division before the 'Or ganization entered the Areonne for est battle. At the state bouse today General Martin stated that prt-ss dispatches announcing his reduction in rank were untrue. The' announcement was car ried by the Associated Press and other news gathering organizations and was based on a report from its Vvar depart ment in Washington. Two weeks after the dispatch was published. Gen eral Martin returned to the United States. He is today wearing the uni form and shoulder straps of a brida dier general and will, he stated, im mediately wear the dress of a civilian. News stories announcing General Martin's return to Kansas mentioned his reduction in rank. "I do not know how such report could have been circulated," said the former adjutant general. "I was dis charged from service with' rank of brigadier general." General Martin also stated that he had been relieved from service in the 35th division be fore the organization was ordered into the Argonne forest fight, where he stated that more than fifty per cent of the men were listed in the casualties.

I lost twenty-five pounds in weight or more, and every ounce or my strength seemed to be gone. Of course, I wasn't able to do a bit of work and it was just about all I could do to walk around and my legs would just completely give out sometimes. I had no appetite either and never cared for a thing to eat. "I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to work at all feeling like I was, and as I had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to test it out. Well, it seemed to help me right from the first few doses and has put me in shape to where I have actually gained twenty-five pounds in thirty days' time. I have just finished my third bottle, and it ui nothing short of astonishing the war it has increased my strength and built me up in every respect. I have rot only gotten back all my old strength, but I really be lieve I f ;cl better than I dM even be fore I had the F lu My appetite was never better, all that tired feel ing is gone and I am putting in ten hours of good, hard work every day. and it really deesn't bothtvr me one bit.

At a meeting of the letter men Sat urday-.night at the college chapel, Don Lindell was elected captain for the season of 1919. Lindell played quar ter on the team this year and was far and away the star of every game in which he took part and he took part in every game played.

Altho today was the day designated by the government on which the rec ords and files of the various local draft boards were to be closed up and sealed, later orders came cancelling the previous instructions.

It is also possible that very few of the local boards have completed the work necessary to close up their rec ords and that there fs a small per cent of work that has hung over for completion. It will probably take sev eral weeks more fo- these various boards to complete what they have on hand, with perhaps added work which may develop after the new orders are received.
