Germany Able To Pay Forty Billions Indemnities. Paris, March 6. The Germans will be called to Paris to receive terms of the preliminary peace within a week or ten days after President Wilson's arrival, according to the belief ex pressed in certain official quarters to- d8Conditions of the separate treaty were said to have been worked out to an extent where formal approval of Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Premier Orlando would be obtained within a remarkably short time after they had undertaken discussion of the terms. While the mechanics for dealing with the German delegates have not been worked out. it was assumed the '.Hiemy emissaries would first Je called to Versailles to receive tne terms enui trusts in the Country and said which they would submit to them as that during the 1917 session of the was done with the armistice. After j legislature their lobby was able to de the German government had ratified feat some important insurance legisla the treaty the enemy delegates would tion. proceed to Versailles a second time. Senator Carroll referred, to the in when the pact would be signed. In surance lobby in terms that were not the event this procedure is carried altogether flattering and made the out, it is probable only a special com-j assertion that J. C. Peterson, of To mittee will receive the German emis- peka, had requested every insurance saries on their first visit, a plenary agent in the state to contribute to ession of the conference being called when the signatures are affixed. Concern Over Hun Riots. President Wilson will find an en tirely new atmosphere when he ar rives here. Concern over what is go ing on in Germany will be topmost among the anxieties, rather than .in dividual desires and designs of the various nationalities. It is possible that arrangements admitting 270,000 tons of fats and cereals into Germany will be completed before the president reaches Paris. The French view that the allies are entitled to German money is appre ciated, but it is pointed out and the French realize that unless the German situation is relieved, chaos is likely to result. The reparations committee will have reported on the amount of indemnities Germany is able to pay, probably be tween $25,000,000,000 and $40,000, 000,000. In addition to-- the frame work to the military, naval and air terms of the preliminary peace being com pleted, the report of the committee on internationalization of ports and waterways will be ready and strong indictments will have been drawn up by the responsibilities committee. No Hostility Toward Wilson. The president will also find that any signs of hostility toward him have vanished. Attacks on the league of nations in the American senate have brought about the sharpest reaction here, with open expression that the league will be impossible without the United States as a member. Tho Russia.n problem will still con front the allies, but the Americans and British are clinging to the principle that an investigation is necessary to determinethe true conditions in Rus sia and are maintaining their strong stand against intervention. The dispute between the Italians and Jugo-Slavs doubtless will require early action. HOW TO GET YOUR $60 Army and Navy Explanation of Dis charge Checks.

CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEFEAT I Author Says Funds Solicited To I Spread Propaganda. Members Declare in Favor Cor rection Kansas Evils. The Kansas senate took up practi cally all of its working time during the morning hours today discussing the Carroll bill providing for a state insurance rating bureau and in cer tain cases providing for state insur ance. After much argument and a roll call in which a majority of the senators took occasion to explain their votes, the measure was killed by the vote of 23 to 10. In a discussion of the bill the al leged insurance trust and the lobby it maintains at Kansas legislatures were given a thoro airing. Senator Schoch made the assertion that the Insurance companies have one of the most pow- ilunas to help defeat the bill under consideration. Carroll read from circular letter that was sent out by Peterson on letter heads of the Insur ance Federation of Kansas in which all agents in the state were asked to join the federation and in- which a check for five or ten dollars was asked to help to spread arguments to defeat tne Din. Carroll brought out in a. forceful way the fact that the insurance com panies under their present rating sys tem cannot reduce rates more than 10 per cent, but that thev mav make nri- ded charges of from five cents to a aoiiar on the hundred for what they may ueciue is a special nazard. Charges FaJso Reports, An unvarnished charge was made by Carroll in his talk to tho effor that the old line insurance companies operating in Kansas, make false re ports to the state when they assert that they have been losing mnnev nn the business they have been .doing In Kansas for the last several years. In voting on the measure more than two-thirds of the senators ex plained their vote, especially those voting against its passage. Two sen ators did not vote, asking to be ex cused. They were Anspaugh and Keene. Whitney, who voted for the measure, took occasion to say. that he had been asked to vote against the bill because it would injure the mu tual companies. He said that if it would injure the mutual companies it would be only because it would give the mutual policy holders something better and that he was for any bill that would do this. Senator Laing sent a written explanation of his vote to the reading clerk, but asked that it be spread on the records without be ing read in public. Several senators explained that they were in favor of a measure that would remedy the insurance evils in Kansas, but that they were not sure such a bill as the Carroll bill would do this. Some voted against the measure because of its provisions for state insurance in case companies should withdraw from the state. To Offer a Substitute. Those who voted against the bill were: Anderson. Bergen, Coleman, Crocker, Doerr, Ferrell, Getty, Hilkey, Kanavel, Laing, Malone. McCIain, Metcalf, Myers. Nighswonger, Nixon, Paulen, Plumb, Pomeroy. Schoch, Smith, Sutton and Thompson. Those who voted for the passage of the bill were: Carroll. Delanev, Gu lick. Hart. Kimball, Milligan. Moptee, Price, Satterthwaite and Whitney. Upon defeat of the bill Senator Car roll announced that he would make an effort to bring out of the commit tee on insurance another bill he has prepared which provides for the estab lishing of a stamping bureau in the insurance department of the state and which in time would give the state data for the making of rates and for checking up the insurance companies to ascertain whether or not they are charging exorbitant rates. This bill was prepared by Senator Carroll to be brought out in the event his first bill failed to pass. l.'ornn nnniiiiio r nrn Tile teamsters' union is among the other organizations mentioned that may also repudiate the official labor paper.

On the eve of his return to the peace conference, President Wilson delivered an address here last night at the Metropolitan opera house, urging establishment of a league of nations.

One hour before the. doors were thrown open to the few thousand who had been able to obtain tickets, twen ty inspectors from police headquarters searched the opera house from cellar to uppermost gallery, showing evidence of precautions taken to protect Amer ica's chief executive. Roofs of build ings nearby were also searched. The doors were opened shortly after 7 o'clock and, as fashionably dressed I men and women, with many repre sentatives of the army, nay and ma rines, filed down the aisles to their seats, the Port of Kmbarkation band played patriotic airs.

HIS GREATEST FIGHT London Newspapers So Describe Wilson's SpeechC London. March 5.

Poldu station on the other side of the Eiffel tpwer. On the voyage coming from Brest to Boston, the George Washington had only a wireless range of 300 miles and when the convoy was left astern the president was cut oft from com munication with Washington. The battleship Montana will act as con voy to Brest and also will have a long range wireless equipment. The party aboard the George Washington today was smaller than 1 on the first presidential voyage, as there were no prominent place in the news columns. Some of the headings describe it as "Another powerful speech." and as "President Wilson's greatest fight." The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to the president's expressed conviction that an overwhelming majority of the American people are in favor of a league of nations, says: "That is un doubtedly the case, but the crucial question is whether they are prepared to pledge the practical resources and action of their country to vindicate the league when it is formed. Unless America- is prepared to share in the coijar work of the league she can have no voice in its policy.' The "AVestminster -Gassette, in ex pressing the hope that the league will be muchmore than a debating so ciety, says that even if it is a debating society -it probably would have pre vented this war had it been in opera tion in 1914, and it will be an insur ance against other wars springing from the same motives. NO RAISE IN RATES Director Hines Says Railroads Will Use Private Loans. Tor Is There Intention of Re linquishing Control. Washington, March 5. The gov ernment has no immediate intention of relinquishing control of railroads as a result of the failure of congress to appropriate funds for the railroad administration. Director General Hines stated today. Mr. Hines also explained that every effort would be made to continue operations as usual to avoid laying off employes and to finance the railroads thru private loans or thru advances from th war finance corporation. Altho the railroad administrations program of capital expenditures for extension, improvements and new buildings may be modified, the gov ernment will try to continue the proj ects planned thru the next few months. The railroad administration, Mr. Hines said, did not contemplate rais ing rates as a means of dealing with its financial predicament. Worry Over Stock. Meantime, scores of thousands of railroad stock and bond holders are left in doubt today as to whether or when they will be paid interest or div idends on their holdings. The $315, 000,000 for railroad rentals due cov ers this interest or dividends, nearly 70 per cent of which, it is said, is due private investors not banking inter ests. This uncertainty, combined with the effect stoppage of railroad improve ments and extensions may have on general business conditions, is the prime worry of the government, it is said.

Kansas City, Mo., March 5 A nation-wide revolution, designed to over throw the government, and everything organized, plunging America into the chasm of chaotic Bolshevism, has been nipped by the department of justice in its drive against the I. V. W. and kindred organizations. This, as well as a volume of other revelations just as startling, will go into the records of evidence at the trial of thirty-four "wobbly" leaders in Wichita on March 12, according to Fred Robertson, United States district attorney for Kansas, who will conduct the case for the government. solemnly warning th people of Kansas against the insidious propa ganda of the Bolshevists, Mr. Robert son declared that Americans "are soon to realize that the greatest devasta tion of property and human life in the history of the nation" has been averted. America In Peril. "America was 5n a grave peril," he declared. "It is hard for anyone not acquainted with the facts to appre ciate the full meaning of my words, but when the government has gone into the records and the evidence has become public, the people who love the 'life, liberty and the pursuit of j nappiness, the rounders of our coun try wrote about, in our constitution, will gasp. Russia was but a starter. This plot of anarchy against civiliza tion and everything that is Just and good and decent was world-wide. "The I. W. W. is the Bolsheviki of America." he continued.

The plot, which the government ex pects to prove, is a link in a chain which was designed to shackle the world. It had reached from Seattle, thru the oil fields of Kansas and Ok lahoma, to New York, and thence thru Germany to Russia, when the govern ment stepped in at Chicago last fall, and at Wichita during the winter, and snapped it thru the conviction of the ten big leaders, and the indictment of the thirty-four who face trial in Kan sas.

FARM PUN T0BE BIG SHOW Opposition From Members Who Urged It in Committee. Number of Senators Also Ob ject to State Road Aid. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock the Kansas state senate will lay aside all other business and take up the con stitutional amendments on third read ing. Decis.on to this effect was reached shortly after noon today fol lowing the recommendation by the judiciary committee that a land ten antry resolution be passed. Senator Schoch made a motion that the constitutional resolutions be taken up at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning but the senator from Washington sug gested it would be better to make it 2 o'clock in the afternoon so that other business on the calendar could be dis posed of. Schoch readily consented to this. Senator Coleman attempted to get the senate to consent to take up the land tenantry resolution first, the good roads resolution next and the taxation resolutirn third. He made a motion that-thta be done, but a substitute mo tion -to adjourn cut off his attempt to railroad the land tenantry ahead of other resolutions that have been out of committees for some time. Sena tor Getty asked why he was so anx ious to have the land tenantry resolu tion taken up first and in reply Cole man said; "There is no hidden motive behind my motion, I assure you. -There is no bug under the chip; I simply wanted this one taken up first because it is the one about which there has been the greatest amount of discussion." Three Votes Against Flan. In voting to recommend out the land tenantry resolution three of the members of the Judiciary committee voted against the action of the com mittee and one refused to vote. The resolution reads as follows. To encoarntre the purchase and owner ship of sjcrlculturnl lands and the own pancy and cultivation thereof, provision may "be made by law for the crention anil maintenance of a fund, in such manner nnd amount as the legislature may de termine, to be used In the purchase and sale of lands for agricultural purposes anil la the making of loans thereon secured by inortgag e. There seems to be no doubt but that the farot tenantry resolution, will d.ra w the "big fireworks of the open season on constitutional amendment propo sals. It is said that several members of the jodicnary' committee who voted to report it out of tae committee will oppose It; on the floor of the senate and Serfator Schoch emphatically stated on the floor that he would not favor Its adoption. There also will be quite a bit of op position to the road amendment, it is said. A number of senators believe the local communities and the Individ ual counties should be allowed to build whatever roads they desire without state supervision. Others believe a slate-wide campaign should not be at tempted until the price of materials is lower, claiming that the manufac turers of I road materials are urging action at this time more than any one else. Still others think that the east ern part of the state will have to bear a large part of the burden or tne western half In road construction un der a state-wide plan. However, there coes not seem to be any real opposi tion to the construction alf permanent hiahwavs. and the only difference in opinions among the members of the senate is over the methods to be used ar.d the time for building. It is generally believed that the tax ation amendment will be carried in the senate without much opposition, but in all probability the amendment .providing that six amendments may be offered at any one election is lia ble to meet wii hard sledding, some senators predict. INSULTTO KANSAS

Missouri Legislative Attack on Allen a Disgrace, State Officials Aroused Over Abusive Language. Kansas state officials are today aroused over the attack on Governor Henry J. Alien by the Missouri state senate. The news that the Missouri legislators had directed an attack on the governor of this state occasioned surprise in the state house and the action was generally criticise in the most severe terms. Walter I. Payne, state treasurer, today declared that the action of the Missouri senate was "a direct insult to every Kansan. Other state offi cials, as well as members of the house and senate many of whom have op posed legislation proposed by the gov ernor joined in the condemnation of the'sister state senate. "Every Kansan," said -Treasurer Payne, "will resent the pusillanimous, indecent, discourteous attack by the Missouri senate upon the governor of Kansas. Governor Allen is loyal to the one flag of our nation. Kansas has spilled her loyal red blood to sus tain it at every time it has been at tacked. And now Kansans resent with all their might this attack upon their governor an attack which is a direct insult to every Kansan. Several friends of the governor to day discussed the advisability of in troducing a resolution in the he-use and senate answering the discourteous action of the Missouri senate 'in re fusing to extend Governor Allen an in vitation to speak. No action has as yet been taken, altho the matter is under consideration by a number of legislators. In a Big Offensive. Ltondon, March 5.

"President Wilson returns to Paris with greatly diminished pres tige as the result of the action of senators regarding the boasted league of nations. which they treated as a scrap of paper." New Tork. March 5.; President. Wilson sailed today on his second voy- age to France, determined, as he said in his Metropolitan Opera house speech last night, not to "come back 'till its over over there. The transport George Wasnlngton bearing the presidential party left the Hoboken oir at 3:15 a. m.

To these the president, hat in hand, and Mrs. Wil son waved farewell greetings as the -George Washington swung out Into the lower Hudson river while the band on the transport Great Northern, berthed nearby, played the Star Span gled Banner. -Stood on Bridge. Standing on the bridge, the presi dent and his wife saw the American flag raised on the staff at the stern and heard the booming of the presi dential salute of 21 guns.

Missed Morning Iaper. Just as the George Washington was about to sail it was discovered that some one had neglected to bring aboard the morning newspapers. The lines had been made fast to the gang plank which was about to be drawn in, when- the president's orderly, clutching a dollar bill in his hand, rushed across the plank onto the pier and hurried thru the flag-decorated archway to a news stand, where he purchased the papers and came run ning back to the ship. This incident delayed for a few minutes the vessel's departure. Owing to the harbor strike there were no private tugs available to tovr the George Warhington out into the river. Two army transport tugs were present, but the ship was got under way without their aid. The ship sailed in command of Capt.

DIICGGIST Phone 28 HOUSE IS READY Will 3Ieet Issue of Domination hj Missouri Newspaper. May Pass Tenantry Plan but Star Is Not Making Votes. House members are calmly watch ing the fight of the senate against Missouri newspaper domination of legislative action in. Kansas. As soon as the row is disposed of the house is ready to meet the Issue. If the senate passes the farm tenantry reso lution, the house wiutaKefii up im mediately. That was tne judgment tooay m number of house leaders. They are not disposed to take chips in the fight which the Kansas Citv Star started in a frenzied effort to jam Governor Al len's resolutions thru the legislature. In fact the house has already been thru the fire. It was the victim of Star attacks for a month during the session. The house met tne issue, met every demand for a roll call and rejected both the constitutional con vention and the farm tenantry plan. There is a belief that the farm ten antry plan can be put thru the house during the final days of the session If the senate passes the measure, .tSui the Star attack on the senate didn't make new votes In the house. On the contrary it caused some of the oppo nents of the resolution to brace their feet and swear by the gods of Greece and Rome that they would not be bluffed. Leaders Resent Criticism. ..A little leading In the house will probably do a lot of good if the farm tenantry Is to be saved thru a second test in the lower legislative body. But some one with an oil can Is also need ed. The house is inclined to be petu lant. Con-con leaders resented the criticism which came to them from administration sources when they lost their fight. These same leaders were peevish and quietly admitted it when the administration withdrew them from the firing line when the test was being made on the farm ten antrv reform. Still the house leaders want to be reasonable. They want to give Gov ernor Allen a bunch of the things he wants if such things really seem good for him. But oil instead of vitriol is needed to win over the nec essary votes if the measure comes back to the house for a second deci sion. IN A DOUBLE PLEA (Continued from Page One.l the president took his seat. It was an-i nounced he would meet after tne meeting a delegation ol Irishmen who wished to present a petition asking self determination foi-.their country. Enrico Caruso, introduced by Gov ernor Smith, sang "The Star Spangled Banner." Governor smitn opened his speech by paying atribute to the part the New Tork soldiers had played in the war. "The war is not yet won," he said, "and. -will not be until .the Golden Rule is written into the international law of the world." He introduced Mr. Taffas "the man who had worn the purple of the presi dent of the United States with grace and honor." Mr. Taft was greeted with loud hand-clapping. Taft Urges League In Treaty. The president smiled broadly when Mr. Taft referred to the resolution in troduced in the senate last night by Senator Lodge, proposing rejection of the League of Nations constitution as now drawn. "If the president insists, as I hope he wiir," said Mr. Taft. "that the league be incorporated ih the peace treaty, and brings it back, then the re sponsibility for postponing peace is with the body that refuses to ratify it." At the conclusion of Mr. Taft's speech, Governor Smith introduced Charles -Hackett, tenor, who sang 'America." When the president began speaking he was cheered for three minutes. while the band played "I Won't Come Back Till it's Over Over There." Won't Come- Back." 1 accept tHte Invitation the band has Just played," said Mr. Wilson. "I will not eome bac't till it s over over there.' The president declared he was con vinced "by unmistkable evidences from all parts of the country that the nation was inr favor of tbe League of Nations. "I am more happy because this means this is not a f arty issue," he said. "This is not a party issue, and not a party in the long run will dare oppose it. The president said an effective working agreement for a league of na tions was sought abroad. "Under the covenant," he said, "it is the 'friendly right' of every nation to call attention of other nations to anything which endangered peace. "Germany never would have gone to war if she had first discussed the situation with Serbia, he declared "Intrigue cannot stand publicity and if the league of nations were nothing but a big debating society it would kill intrigue. "The Americans went overseas, not merely to beat the German." he said "but Jo show that the United States would go anywhere where the rights of man are affected. Opposition In the senate to the league, tbe president declared, was based on a "doctrine of careful self ishness." "I've heard no constructive sugges tion," he said. "I've heard only the suggestion, 'v ould it not be dangerous for us?' "If the United Stafes did not enter the league," he declared, "it would be 'the most contemptible of nations.'

The new revolu tion in Germany, apparently backed by the weight of the greater part of the workers and all radical elements, had resulted today in growing appre ciation of the necessity for speeding conclusion or a preliminary peace. 'ne British press was advocating moral support of the present German government, as well as supplying the country with food. The newspapers expressed fear that unless this were done, the allies would be unable to collect any indemnities. A Spartacan victory, they pointed out. might neces sitate armed occupation of Germany tor an inaeiinite period. OGniiicung reports were received to day regarding the progress of the new- revoiutioa. The uprising was to have been signalized by a general strike in semn. xne latest direct reports from that city indicated the strike called Monday evening was attended bv riots in which the Spartacana were tem porarily successrul. at least.

The state closed its evidence today In the case of J. Norman Cook, charged with the mur der of William B. Bradway here last summer. Mrs. fcucy Aurand Brad ford, aged and infirm, from Erie, Kan., who came here to volunteer evi dence, was not allowed to testify. Mrs. Bradford claims to have been injured in a railroad accident and is said to allege that Cook, handling the claim for the road, treated her unfairly. "Oh, oh. Cook," she cried as she saw the defendant. Cook did not look at her. She was so near collapse that she' had to be assisted into the witsiess chair. There it developed that her evidence was incompetent, as it had to L do witn a remans maue oy v.oos pnur to the acquaintance of Cook's daugh ter. Norma, with Bradway. Cook is expected to testify this afternoon. There were several women in court who are to be called by the defense to testify that Bradway and Norma were constantly together. I Some of them, it was said, reported the fact to Cook. Norma was not present today. Norma Cook, the 18-year-old daugh ter of the accused man, would not be recalled,' the prosecutor stated, unless to elucidate some principal points in some later testimony, her cross ex amination 'having been ended yester day. Miss Cook, a witness for the state, testified her father had warned her against Bradway and had threat ened to "get him." A little later she testified that Bradway told of Cook's hostility to the admirer of his daugh ter and had threatened to "choke the tongue out of him (Cook) if he started anything. The father. J. Norman cook, for mer private detective and theatrical manager, was confident of acquittal when he left the court room after yes terday's session. The girl bore the strain or tne trial like an elderly woman. Wearing a simple blue dress and a rough straw hat, she promptly answered questions with- her eyes set on the examining attorneys. Her testimony was shaped to refute Cook s statements that the killing was an invocation of the un written law. A Dinner Party. The- irlrl said Bradwav had flrone to Columbus. Kan., last June, and given a dinner partly for her and others at a Columbus botel. It was then that her father also appeared in Columbus. She said ne anu sne ana ner motner met in a playhouse, at the Bliss home, which had been erected aat a memorial to ber grand mother. Asked by the prosecutor what ber father said as to Bradway, she answered "He said he would get him and that I would never ace him aarain." She said Itradway's conduct toward ber always had been proper. Miss Cosk had told on direct examinn tlon how her father found her in Itrad way's office last spring and that Cook had said he "did not want me there and he told Mr. Bradway he did not want him to see me." At the Columbus meeting she testified her. father said Bradway was not a fit man to associate with. t"" Entertained by Bradway.

Her report follows "My gas stove did not look Just right with the btova top remove so as to permit setting pots and pans down closer to the burners.

TAFT ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS Covenant Is Indispensable to Treaty of Peace, He Says. New York. MarcfT 5. A league of nations covenant is indispensable to the treaty of peace if the war "is to accomplish the declared purpose of this nation and the wcrM," for pier President William Howard Taft told the audience at the Metropolitan Opera house last niht, in an exhaus tive discussion of the league princi ples, preceding the address ot Presi dent Wilson. Adherence to the Waiih ingtonian policy of avoiding foreign alliances could not be applied to the present international status, Mr. Taft declared, "because the interests of the United States are inevitably involved in the preservation of European peace." For the United States to withdraw from the project? he- asserted, would make the league of nations merely "a return to the system of alliances and the 'balance of power with a speedy recurrence of war, in which this coun try would certainly be involved as it was in the present struggle." -Duty of the President. Referring to criticism of the league plan in the senate, the former presi dent stated his belief that it was the duty of the president, as the prime mover in the nation's treaty-making power to report the eventual draft of the treaty with the former central powers, with the league covenant as part of the treaty itself, if, in his judg ment and that of the peace confer ence, an agreement formally termi nating the war would be incomplete without it. If the president made such a recommendation, Mr. Taft said, he ventured to doubt if there would be majority of the members willing to Peyton Brand REAL CHEWING PLUG packed in. pouch Plug Use Journal Want Ads for Results !SH from either a selfish or a world point1 of view, no higher duty was ever laid upon the United States than now at this critical juncture in the world's af fairs to unite with the nations with whom it has won this war In arms and brought Germany to her knees, to keep her in the suppliant attitude and save her and Europe from the chaos and despair of further war and the inevitable triumph of Bolshevism. There must be the united force of a1 league of nations to stabilize condi tions and hold them until the new na tions created for the purpose shall have the strength with which they can play in making the treaty of peace ef fective. U. S. Needed by World. "If it be said that the European na tions should unite in a league to main tain these independent states and set tle the difficulties arising between them and the older states in the sphere of war and in resisting Bolshevism, it is sufficient to say that the with drawal of the United States from the league of nations will weaken it Immeasurably." The united force of a league or na tions is necessary to stabilize condi tions already in progress between war born powers "lacking self-restraint and not comprehending the scope, of their powers." Mr. Taft saw no threat against the Monroe doctrine in the league cove nant under which, he said, America would take the initial steps and prob ably would be in charge of repressive action in cases of violation on the American continent. European mem bers would attend to Europe and Asi atic members to Asia, unless a conflict IS NOT IN HURRY Senate Leisurely and ot Wor rying About Adjournment.

Mr. Taft stated his opinion that the problem would have "a somewhat dif ent aspect" for senators upon whom would be laid the blame for "postpon ing peace." Specter of Bolshevism. Tho he relied upon America's train ing for hundreds of years in self-government to counteract the "hard, cruel, murderous specter of Bolshe vism." in this country, Mr. Taft as serted that if it spreads over and de stroys the existing governments in France and Kngland and Italy and threatens them and includes the whole of Europe in its poisonous and contagious influence, we must not minimize Us dangers to our own civilization. "We should not ignore the pro found embarrassment that we would have in our relations to a Bolshevist with its present civilization de he continued. "Looked at LK i Satisfaction for the sweet tooth.

Yet the Monroe doctrine itself, he declared, was subject to limitations. In some speeches in the senate, he added. intimations have been, made which enlarge this doctrine beyond what can be justified." Aid in Control of Europe. Mr. Taft said: VI would have no objection, and would favor recognition of the Monroe doctrine, and I have stated it above, by specific words in the covenant, with a further provision that the settlement of purely American questions should be remitted primarily to the American nations with machinery like that of the present league, and that European na tions should not intervene unless re quested to do so by the American na tions. The European nationa desire our entrance into this league, not that tney may control America, but to se cure our aid in controlling Europe, and I think they would be relieved if the primary duty of keeping peace and policing this western hemisphere was relegated to us and our western col leagues. I object, however, to such a reservation as was contained in The Hague conference against entangling alliances, because the recommendation was framed before the demonstrations of this war and contains reservations as to the so-called policy against en tangling alliances that are inconsistent with the needs of this nation and of the world. After reminding his audience that no critic had offered a "single con structive suggestion" in the way of a substitute plan, Mr. Taft entered upon a discussion of the legal aspects of the project. The proposed covenant. he said, was nothing mora than a, 4n tract for the benefit of the contracting parties. It created "no super-sover eignty," he maintained, "only that sanctioned by international law." "The first important covenant with reference to peace and war in the constitution of the league," he con tinued, "is that looking to a reduction of armament by all nations. The importance of providing for a reduction of armament everyone rec ognizes. It is affirmed in the newly proposed senate resolution. Can we not trust our congress to fix a limi tation safe for the country and stick to it? If we can't, no country can. Yet the rest are anxious to do this. They are far more exposed than we.'' Boycott a Weapon. Mr. Taft took exception to the ar gument that membership in the league inicrht force upon the United States arbitration of the Japanese immigra tion question. He said it was pre posterous to assume that all the other nations of the world "would unite their military forces to compel us to receive Japanese immigrants under the covenant. Why should they not do so without the covenants?" The former president asserted that the league provision prohibiting war until three months after an arbitra tion award or a recommendation of compromise was "the great restraint upon war imposed by the covenant upon members and non-members.1 He showed how the penalizing clause, subjecting the covenant-break lng nation to a boycott of its com mercial, trade, financial, personal and official relations with other countries would be a powerful international weapon for the enforcement of peace.

If there is any hurry in the Kansas legislature to get thru work and get home it is all in the house of repre sentatives. The members of the sen ate apparently have more flme than the proverbial Carter had oats. And they are not worrying about the time pirce merry-go-round, or the disap pearing pages of the calendar. IV ot only did the senate do practi cally m.thing Tuesday, but just before adjournment the members voted down motion to begin night sessions. Of couse the senate may change its pace anj minute and pass bills for a few nours at such a rate the calendar will be temporarily cleaned. This is a habit of the 1919 senate. Since the beginning of the session it has been working spasmodically, grinding out a lot of business one day and doing practically 'nothing for the next week. Only two measures were passed on third reading Tuesday. One was a substitute for house bill 30, by the committee on assessments and taxa tion, which amends section 11396 of the general statutes. The other was the senate ways and means bill mak ing appropriation for the state edu cational institutions. Schools Must Fly Flag. The upper house tried to do some thing sitting as a committee of the whole, but the only thing accomplished was the recommendation that the Ber gen bill providing that all schools be required to display the United States flag be passed. Then to make it a complete day the members sat under a special order and considered the Getty bill that would permit Kansas City, Kan., to mine coal. This bill took up most of the lost time. Ora tory flowed in front of almost every desk and views on Socialism, Bol shevism, paternalism and many other "isms" were expressed. Getty at tempted to quote scripture. Senator Nighswonger did it and produced a Bible to prove he was quoting it cor rectly. Finally, after the bill had been amended so as to permit every city ins the state to mine coal, and amended to restrict every city to the mining of coal solely for the purpose of supplying municipal plants, it was recommended for passage. An attempt was made to do some thing with the bill that, would protect quail for the next five years, but the oniy result of this effort was the bringing out of the maiden speech of Senator Anderson. Anderson talked j for the first time during the session I and urged that quail be left unpro tected, asserting that laws will not keep hunters from killing them and that they cannot be multiplied n a statute book. Finally the measure was dropped without anything having been done. The real fireworks of the afternoon session came when the ways and means bill making appropriations for me large educational institutions came up. Senator Kimball discovered in this bill a clause that would pre vent the teachers and professors re ceiving outside fees and remunera tions for work not a part of their regular duties. A bill cutting off the "fee erab" had been introduced early in the session and had been sent to the judiciary committee by the committee of the whole and killed. The' ways and means bill carried all of its provisions. Kimball moved that these provisions be stricken out and half a dozen sena tors urged that this be done, but when the motion came to a vote it lost 19 to 17. Those who voted in favor of the fee system being retained were: Bergen. Brunner, Carroll, Coleman, Delaney Ferrell, Hart, Keene, Kim ball, Metcalf, Myers, Plumb. Price, Satterthwaite, Smith, Sparks and Whitney. Those who voted against the motion were: Anderson, Ans paugh, Doerr, Getty. Gulick, Hilkey, Laing. Malone, Milligan, Montee. Nighswonger, Nixon, Paulen, Pome roy, Schoch, Sutton, Thompson -and Wilson. Upon final roll call the vote on the measure stood 21 to 16 and Kimball, who had voted against the appropria tion then changed his vote from "no" to "yes" for the purpose of later ask ing a reconsideration of the measure. WOOD HEADS BOXERS New York, March 5. The army, navy and civilian board of boxing con trol in a statement made public today announcing that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood had accepted the presidency of the' board made known its aims and purposes. The board, which was recently in corporated in New York state, was organized with the aim that event ually it would become the national boxing association in this country, con trolling both amateur and profes sional branches of the sport. General Wood fills the place that was to have been filled by the late Theodore Roosevelt. The prospectus of the board states that it desires to develop boxing in this country to a higher level and pre pare the way for entry into the sport of men-returning from service abroad.

Director, Washing ton. i. c. A few of our statesmen appear to fear that the league of nations con stitution Is fraught with danger to the liberty and welfare of the American people. Cut similar opposition to the federal constitution developed at the time it was submitted to the states for ratification. It served for many years before any serious attempt was .made to disrupt the compact. Probably there will never be another similar attempt. The Civil war not only taught our people a lesson but the whole world as well. No money spent in the building of good roads is lost. It is an invest ment which pays to the community and to the nation a great profit an nually, often yielding in added wealth to the community every year more than the total amount expended. The east is all wrought up because there Is a movement on to prohibit unoccupied lingerie in department store show windows. Imagine a reg'lar man, a real honest-to-Gawd man, standing on the street with his face flattened against a plate glass window, cruelly abandoning his mor als as he gazes upon milady's under wear, draped over a stained oak hall tree! It is an insult to mere man. What is preferable a torn and bleeding Germany in the hands of revolutionists or an organized and sta ble Germany always ready to ''wage another war? THE CASE IN A NUTSHELL. In all of the mass of discussion rel ative to the future military policy of this country there are two phrases which are used seemingly with the understanding that they are inter changeable, whereas, as a matter of fact, tho related they express two distinctly different ideas. We refer to the phrases "Universal Service" and "Universal Training." Further, a careful reading of the various edi torials on this subject bear out the belief that this confusion of usage has 'resulted in a .confusionof ideas. What then is the meaning of the two phrases? "Universal Service" is v an existing fact which does not admit of dispute or argument. It is the re- 'aultant obligation of the benefits of 'citizenship and can be escaped in but tone way, granted physical fitness, and that is by renunciation of citizenship.' jlf this were not a recognized national OD ligation mere wuuiu ue no oasis 01 legality in such legislation as the re cent draft. Whether or not we be jlieve In "Universal Service" is there fore a matter not open to argument and a statement against it is a state ment of antlnationalism. We are left then with the proposi tion covered by the phrase "Univer sal Training." That can comprehend lbut one thing .and that is a nation wide preparation. Granted the exist ence of the universal obligation to serve, the -discussion resolves itself inio this shall we as a nation pre pare ourselves to fulfill this obliga tion before the necessity arises or -shall we wait until the national peril tdemands our service before we fit ourselves to do our duty. 1 Who would dispute that it is wise to learn to read, before the exact time comes that we find something we wish to read; who la there who would dis pute that the farmer should gain a knowledge of farming before he seeks to wrest from nature a living; who is there who disputes that fire fighting apparatus should be secured and held tn readiness for use before the fire Starts Instead of making the turning in of the alarm the signal for the opening of bids for hose and engines; -who is there who disputes the wisdom of fitting ourselves to fulfill our na tional obligation to serve our country before she is attacked instead of wait ing till war is declared? There may, and properly so, be dif- ferent opinions as to what form this Universal Training should take. We, as a. nation, are sick of war and we do not want to do one thins which will make another war more likely Let the discussion as to form continue until the sentiment in the country has crystallized but let us prepare. Not prepare for war but prepare against the time "when we may "be called upon to serve our country. We build barni to shelter our stock before inclement weather comes, not waiting for the rains and the snows before we start construction. Let us look with equal care to the protection of our national life. s To sum it up the vital point In the whole discussion is r-do you, fellow reader, think that you and your neighbor should In some manner pre pare yourself to fulfill one of your obligations of citizenship BEFORE or AFTER the necessity arises? A FARMER READER. THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE. At no time in the history of Kansas, perhaps, has the need of safe, sane legislation in this state been greater. And be it eaid to the glory of the state j and the credit of the present legisla ture that the need has been met. As a body the state legislature has as serted an independence, a freedom of thought and a determination of pur pose that has been highly refreshing. When the legislature goes home next week, it will have written a num ber of laws. In the main, tho, "these laws will merely cover f the situations in local communities and will remedy defects in the existing statutes. The legislature will pass the appropriation bills, possibly a new labor law, per haps a few other general acts. Bui without a demand from the voters and taxpayers of the state for bulky ses sion laws, the 1919 legislature is mak ing the big majority of the pe"ople in Kansas most happy by using a club on everything that looks like a law which is not needed. Kansas legislators have faced their full share of the Bolshevistic pro posals. They have been asked to pass bills which would put Kansas in a Socialistic class. But the legislature hasn't shied or sidestepped. It has killed the dreamy stuff in a manner that will give the house and senate a wonderful batting record. It has re- fused to bow te the administration or to be intimidated by over-zealous ad ministration publications. It has of fered to aid the governor in every manner. But it refused to call a con stitutional convention and will prob ably refuse to submit the farm ten antry amendment. And all of this be cause not one petition has come to the legislature asking for revolution in state government in the present crisis. At times the legislature has be come a bit sentimental. It has passed almost everything that was labelled happiness, aid and comfort for the returned soldiers. But it refused to send a bunch of state officials and legislators to New York with $10,000 of the state's money for a hurrah party in behalf of the boys. The strength of the present Kansas legislature has been in its willingness to meet every Issue. There has been no partisan politics. Almost without exception the members have viewed their responsibilities in the light of a new and changing situation an un certainty and unrest which naturally follows the--war. In the house and senate are members who have whooped and shouted with the Pro gressives, !ie Populists and the Farm ers' Alliance in the- gor-" old yester da But today these men are care fully inspecting every bill that threatsnsan overthrow of an estab lished system of government in Kan sas. And therein the Kansas 'gislature is strong. It isn't afra-d of the trains. It doesn't shy at new styles of prog ress in state government. It does its own inspecting. It doesn't apologize for its actidn. It w'll go home just as it came o Topelr- doing its own guessing. While the average citizen may not have noticed it. the price of aluminum declined in 1918, according to a report of the United States Geological Sur vey. But aluminum was one of the things left in private hands. If Burle son had got control of it the case prob-ably-would have been different. Paris says that the greatest grand jury indictment the world has ever known soon will try the German of ficers who are responsible for the atrocities of the war. But it is admit ted that it will be impossible to in clude Ludendorff and Hindenburg and the former kaiser. It is useless to conduct a trial. The, world as a jury already has brought in a verdict. Let the tribunal spend its time establish ing and carrying out a punishment. Sh-h-h-h. It is mother's warning to the children. Father is spread out over the dining room table trying to make out his income tax report. After an exhibition clad in olive drab lasting a "couple of years the girls will have to admit that the boys have efn pretty shapely, too. If the Kansas legislature adjourns March 15 hundreds of bills will die on the calendar. Let the funeral services be held on the Fourth of July, Three thousand prisoners at Leav enworth struck and refused to leave their cells. The best punishment would be to let them stay there. Congress adjourned and failed to make several millions or was it bil lions? in appropriations. That n e you hear on the street is not grief it is glee. TOPEKA 8TATB JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FBEDEJUC J. HAKKTNr Director, Washington. XX CL A TANGLE IN ALLOTMENTS. Washington, D. C, March Every day, a large number of returned sol diers, bearing scars of war and in signia of overseas regiments, visit the headquarters of the finance division of the war department here, Insearch of missing allotments. Most of these men have been allotting a certain por tion of their monthly pay to relatives or to business concerns ever since they were sent across, and it is rather dis appointing upon reaching home to find that the money has been held up somewhere by a mass of government red tape. "My mother tells me that she hasn't received a cent from the government since early last summer," said a young, one-armed soldier the other morning, "and ye4 the company commander has been deducting ten dollars from my pay every month to be sent to my mother." He was very courteous and cheerful about it much more so, com mented the lady who looked up his case, than she would be under siimlar circumstances. After diligent searching;' no record could be found ofthis particular sol dier's allotment, so he was taken be fore a notary public and asked to make an affidavit concerning his al lotment. A check for the amount which he had paid and which his mother had not received was then pre- ser.ted him by the director of finance. This is what the government is do ing in every case where a man's serv ice record cannot be found accept in:? a man's affidavit -and refunding him his money, trusting that it will be able to trace the unpaid allotment and change its bookkeeping later. This is the only fair way to settle an unfor tunate misunderstanding, and it is safer than It looks. By psychological test, the criminal element was elimi nated from the army in the early part of the American mobilization, and the average man does not make a false affidavit. It is only too true that, while hun dreds of thousands of allotments have smoothly reached their destination without misunderstanding or mishap, several hundred have not. In numer ous cases it is because in filling out the applications for allotments the men have made mistakes. They gave the wrong address, or they give such unsatisfactory addresses as "King George's County" or "New Tork Chy." Sometimes, moreover, the person to whom the allotment is to be paid moves to a new address without let ting the war department know. But in 90 per cent of the cases the blame can be placed upon the tancle of red tape w-hich stretches from the war risk Insurance bureau of the treasury department to the finance division of tne war department. It is an extremely complicated af fair, so we will begin at the beginning. Since the year 1899 the finance di vision has been handling the allot ments made to their families and for other purposes by officers and enlist ed men outside the continental limits of the United States. When, the United States entered the European war, however, the war risk bureau was established, which took over all fam ily allotments, compulsory or volun tary. This left the finance division with little to do but to take care of the man s business interests the nu merous miscellaneous allotments made to cover sueh things as the interest on loans and mortgages, real estate In vestments, bills. lodire dues, bonds and club and church subscriptions. Last summer, when an amendment to the war risk insurance act was passed by congress, orovidinsr a spe cific government allowance to meet a specific allotment from every soldier, attention was called to the fact that the war risk bureau was handling a large number of voluntary allotments of the old army type for which it did not necessarily have any authority under the law. At a conference held between the secretary of war, the secretary of the navy ana the secretary of the treasury. it was decided, that, since the war risk bureau was so overworked anyway, it would be wise to transfer the, volun tary family allotments it had been paying back to the finance division of the war department. (By voluntary allotment, be it understood, is meant mat part oi a man s pay which is con tributed by him without request for allowance from the government.) Ac cordingly, instructions were framed to be sent to the commanding officers of every regiment, explaining the nature of the transfer and requesting that the men be informed. Unfortunately, these Instructions were sent out long after the transfer was made. The men did not kno. that they were expected to send in their voluntary allotments on what is known as quartermaster's form No 38 of the war department instead of the blank formerly used by the war risk bureau. In other cases the blanks were lost before they reached the finance division. The deductions for allotments from the men's pay were entered on the books of the depot quartermasters, but there the record ended. Without the applications for allot ments, the finance division had no au thority to pay out any money. The authority had been taken away from the war risk bureau, which did have the applications, and as a result the allotments were not paid. At the time it was suggested that the records of the war risk bureau be turned over to the finance division, but the war risk bureau refused to do this because their records were all they had to show as authority for making past payments. Thus, in attempting to cor rect an error made In the early part of the American engagement, a greater problem was created than if it had been let alone. Meanwhile, the finance division be gan frantically to enlarge its head quarters and working force to take care of the large quantities of new business. It had to spread out into three different buildings, and it had to open a school to teach prospective clerks the complicated facts about al lotments. Pupils have to attend this school for nine days before they mas ter all of them. Today, the division handles the voluntary allotments of 375,845 enlisted men, and disburses nearly two million dollars a month. This does not seem a very large sum until, you consider that it repre sents in the majority of cases money contributed out of the men's wjrges after the cost of their insurance and compulsory allotment has been de ducted. Of course, most of the Amer ican army was supposed to have been taken from class 1. of unmarried men, who would therefore escape the com pulsory 115 allotment. Then, the non-commissioned class, drawing pay of $80 to 190 a month, waa com para -1 tively large. But one cannot help the ;entle ;loky. There Is In gentle ways and conduct true More glory than In fortune's yellow gold. That life which is in deeds of kindness told. Outshines the splendor of the mighty fetr Who dare with might what right would scorn to do And strive for joys which they alone may hold. An honest man is nobler than a bold. Worth is In how and not what men pursue. He that would win men's love and earn their praise Must spurn the sordid battlefields of greed. Must find bis Joys In smoothing others' ways And stend bis substance for another's need. No greater glory here ran mortal find Thau to be mourned as one whose deeds were kind. Copyright 1919 by Edgar A. Guests worrying about the ordinary private who not only provided for his wife and paid his life insurance, but made an allotment to his mother. What did he get out of it? When asked this question, one soldier replied that there were only two ways to spend money in camp at the canteen and at the poker table. So by not havinfe any money to spend, he said, both his digestion and' character remained un impaired. One of the most interesting forms of allotments handled by the finance division of the war department are those for liberty bonds. Wrhen the second liberty loan was launched so"mebody conceived the idea of per mitting soldiers to buy bonds on the monthly allotment basis, but the gov ernment lacked authority to put over such a proposition., The Federal Reserve bank of New York City then came to the rescue. It agreed to lend the money to the sol diers, who were to pay it back in monthly installments thru the finance division. Accordingly bond-selling squads tqured the training camps and sold bonds to 550,000 men. Unfortu nately, this loan was staged before the war risk insurance laws were en acted, so that many men bought bonds who were later forced to give them up because they could not keep up the payments on them and have in surance too. For this reason the third liberty loan was restricted to men who had come into the army after the second loan. As result, the number of sub scribers fell to 67,000. This time the money was put up by the government, the necessary authority having been discovered by the secretary of the treasury. Otherwise, it could not have been opened to th? army on the allot ment plan, because the Federal Re serve bank was heartily tired of its end of the transaction and bitterly re gretted ever having loaned the money for the second bonds to the army. It did not object to loaning the money, but it did resent the thousands of let ters it afterward received from bond holders all ox'er the country, inquiring about the terms of payment and other matters letters that were to have been attended to by the army. The fourth liberty loan bonds were also sold to the army by the treasury department. This time there was an even larger' subscription than for the second loan, 4 66,0 00 soldiers buying Donas up to the value of S38.000.000. The majority of theae are still unpaid for and are on the allotment books of the finance division. Others are al ready in the hands of their owners. Still others are being promptly deliv ered to the returned soldiers who con stantly pour into the liberty loan branch of the finance division, and make out affidavits that they have paid for bonds and have not received them.

ETTlENNEr Sylvia was a girl of high Ideals and "new thought Her mind was al ways struggling with beautiful thoughts and philosophy, tho it must be confessed right here that altho Sylvia's tastes lay that way, her mind was not equal to It. She Just under stood such things partly not that Syl via" was stupid, she was really one of the cleverest and most conscientious stenographers in the employ of Ellis Co., and was fair to look upon; but that is all tha could be said of her offhand. Madge was a very different type of girl. "New thought' was farthest from her mind most of the time, and as for beautiful thoughts and the art of living in perfect harmony with everything and everybody, well, she Just didn't think ,of life in that way. Get all the enjoyment out of every body and everything alid give every body and everything all the enjoyment of yourself as far as it is within your power, was the cod that Madge lived up to unconsciously. She was the life of the office and popular with everybody but Sylvia. Sylvia could not make Madge out at all. At times she seemed good-hearted, and, on unexpected occasions, came out with real philosophy that astounded the other girl, but whatever good Impression that made on Sylvia was qu'.ckly banished by Madge's use of slang. That was the bugbear of poor Syl via's life. She would just sit back and gasp and hold her head when Madge let loose some of her new versions of the English language. "I should wor ry," "Have a heart" "I'll say that it isV and such horrible expressions were mild to some of the crimes against Webster that floated so easily from Madge's pretty, laughing lips. The others said Madge was original, but Sylvia could see no other inter pretation of such a manner of speech but commonness and utter lack of propriety. It would not have been so bad, Syl via thought, if Madgs had confined her slang to use among her associates, but when she persisted in using it even in the presence of the manager and the president of the firm that about capped the climax as far as Syl via was concerned. What did it mat ter if Madge could express herself bet ter than any other girl in the office -by resorting to slang? Even when Madge was the means of securing an extra twenty-dollar bonus for the staff, Syl via could find no excuse for her. The incident is worth relating: For two weeks every stenographer in the employ of Ellis Co. worked nights to finish some special work. Of course a promised bonus was looked forward to anywhere from thirty to a hundred dollars was figured on by each girl. Picture their disappoint ment when the bonus turned out to be a paltry ten dollars each. Every girl Sylvia included.), excepting Madge, got together and mumbled to themselves abcut the unfairness of the thing. Not so Madge.. The minute she dis covered the extra ten dollars in her pay envelope she was back to the cashier and said, in a tone loud enough for the manager and the pres ident to hear: "Well, some people are so mean they would sing thru their nose to save the wear and tear on tbeir false teeth. Now, Mr. Ventilator," the cashier's name was Vanslater, but Madge had persisted in nicknaming him from the first, "do you think this a fair bonus?" "Or," she added, "perhaps the firm is giving us our bonus in installments." Madge was nevep-'impudent. Slang from her lips to the ears of anybody but Sylvia sounded perfectly all right. She was gifted with a persbnallty that could almpst have put across pro fanity Before Mr. Vanslater could volun teer 'an answer to her surprising ques tion the manager had come from hia office. "You are quite right. Miss Wilson," he apologized. "There was a mistake this week. An additional twenty dol lars will be included in the envelopes next payday." "How eucyliptis of you!" It was a senseless expression, but isn't all slang senseless, and then the way Madge, said it, it expressed a whole lot. Sylvia just gasped while the others longed to applaud. Every one of them knew that such an outburst from any one of them would have won instant dismissal, but with the excep tion of Sylvia they realized that Madge's personality counted more with the firm, and somehow her slang seemed to make up part of that per sonality. 5 '-J V Poor Sylvia! it "Was bad enough to have to worlt with a grl that used slang in about every' Tffth sentence without having a man who" used slang in love with her. Dick Levery's slang was not original it was just ordinary gosh-ding-blished slang that did more to irritate the object of his affections than all the boxes of candy and con fessions of devotion could ever do to pacify her. At first Sylvia believed she cared for Dick, but finally when she found all her admonitions against the use of common and, to her, vulgar expres sions were in vain, she refused U have anything further te do with him. Madge she blamed for the whole thing. Dick worked in the office and thought Madge was too wonderful for any thing. It was from her he caught his habit of using slang, Slyvia felt sure. That was another reason for dislik ing the girl. One who disliked the favorite of the office could not hope to be popular, so Sylvia had to content herself with reading the books of J. Lincoln Treathway on philosophical subjects. Of sourse, she did not un derstand them, but there was some consolation in dreaming about J. Lin coln and admiring his handsome face as it was pictured on the flyleaf. There was a real man a man who found the fine things of life and who loathed the low and the barbarous. How her heart beat one day as she was in the private office of the mana ger taking dictation and she realized that the visitor who entered was Do other than J. Lincoln Treathway. Xnmindful of her the manager jumped from his chair and ran for ward with a hand of welcome ex tended. "Congratulations, Lincoln, old boy. Miss Wilson is the finest eirl in mv employ and I know she will make you nappy. She has told me all about it. "Isn't she wonderful?" Lincoln ex claimed enthusiastically. Why. she just seems to have been made for me. Her happy-go-lucky nature and bright ideas of life are just what I need to take me out of myself. Did you ever hear anything so original as her slang? It's too clever, tho. to be called slang. It's more like witty phrases. Madge is the most wonder ful girl in the world." For a long, long time after she had retreated from the private office Syl via sat down and thought it over. The realization that her views had been narrow suddenly dawned upon her' Making life worth while and enjoying it to the utmost was what counted, I after all. She had ruined her own 1 happiness by a false idea of what real living was. Slowly the tears started down ner cheeks. "Sylvia! It was Dick. They were alone in the office and there was a note of sympathy in hia tone that seemed to draw her to him. Tearfully she confessed- her new discovery. "Oh, Dick, I don't care whether you use slang or cwear or anything so lcmg as it is you." she -blurted finally. Won t you even care It I get cafe teria and help myself to a kiss, dear?" he laughed happily. "I should worry!" The expression sounded strangely new on the lips of Sylvia as she raised them to Dick's. (Copyright, 1919. by the McClure Ke-ara-paper Syndicate.) ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BT ROT K. MOULTOK Splash.

He did not buy me a ring, because he could not afford to do so at that time. Now he has returned and he acts as if he had never known me. When we meet on the street he looks the other way. He also goes around with together several times. I heard that'" wife esteems herself, so does he was writing to this girl while he was away, but X would not believe it. I have written for an explanation, but he has not answered me. Do you think it would be a good plan to call upon his mother and ask her what has made him turn against me? LONELY HEART! Just imagine what kind of a hus band that young man would' have made, and then be thankful that you and he were separated before any thing more serious developed. Ha was most unventleman! to diop you without an explanation. Do not talk to his mother about the af fair, however. Forget him and do nothing further to show Uiat you care. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been married four years and a halt and have two children living and one dead. My husband Is very cruel to me, often beating me on the head and kicking me, which my oldest child is learning to do. This hurts me worse than for his father to do it. ftow my nusDana is telling an aw-,the ful lie about me and I did not know it until yesterday. He is accusing me of adultery. I have left him twice, but he came to me and coaxed me to go back with him. Please tell me what I should do. Should I take my two little boys and leave him for good, or should I con- Unue to live with him the way I am? j or a Schwab, or a Whistler, you would I am a good cook and a good first have to wipe out from the hope housekeeper.

My boys are For, belief Is the thing that drives 30 months and one year old Could I get them if I were to get a divorce? If you are capable of making a living for yourself and children I think you should leave your husband and sue him for divorce and alimony. You will get the children since he is misrepresenting your character. It will be much better for the children to be away from such an influence. If you cannot get work as house keeper and keep your children, I should think it would be possible for you to "make good money running a rooming and boarding house. MY HUSBAND AND I BY JANE THE PROMOTER'S WIFE I UC THE BEGINNING. CHAPTER I. r was born in a iittle mid-western town, and had lived there all my life. My home was a long, narrow, wnue building shaped a good deal like the toy Noah's arks they sell to amuse children. There was a small, unpre tending entrance, whieh opened Into a shallow hall. The Interior was as unpretentious as the entrance, yet it was in every way comfortable. The house was set almost in the center of a large lawn ("yard," we called it.) In the season it was filled with flowers of all kinds, in not very symmetrical beds, and in borders along the walks that led both to tne troni and back door. Then there were flow ering shrubs and bushes set down hap hazard, and several large trees. When everything was in bloom 1 was a very attractive looking place. But In the late fall and winter when the. wind whistled thru the shrubs and rocked the giant branches of the trees, strip ped naked of their summer dress, the long, low white house had rather a pathetic look. I hated the winter. It was always so unattractive in Hunt ington, where many of the houses were almost a replica of the one in which we lived, and where the streets so beautifully shaded in summer by the Interlaced shade trees, were bleak and unattarcitve because of the bar trunks and branches of those Same trees. I used to think tht there could be no other place in the world where the wind howled and groaned, as if in agony, as it did in Huntington. But as mya experiences afield had been only to neighboring towns, I was per haps incapable of judging. Yet now after years of city living I stHl shud der when I think of the way the wind whistled and moaned thru the trees and shrubs In my old home. Father kept a small store.

Don't Call Attention to Your Faults 2 Hence, the average husband Is eon- tent until wife herself waes him up j out or his complacency, ana snows him what a poor, feeble faulty crea ture he tied up with. Jt is curious that women do not appreciate how dangerous it Is for them to institute comparisons between their own weaknesses and other wom en's strength. No woman can com plain that she isn't a splendid cook like Mrs. A, or that she doesn't know how to get the value out of a dollar as Mrs. B does, or that she cannot manage her children as Mrs. C does without making her husband feel that A and B and C have drawn luckier numbers In the matrimonial lottny than he has.

The poor, dear man had never ob served that his wife waa going off in her looks until she pointed it out to him. When he thought of her he "pictured her as the sweetheart he had wooed and won, and lie had never really taken a critical look at her until she had focussed hts gaze upon her. Then he saw the ra.agec of time which he never would have observed If she had not directed his eyes to them. All of which emphasizes the wis- dom of a wife blowing a trumpet about about her virtues, but putting the soft pedal on ner faults in the family circle. Let her celebrate her thrift when she makas a good bargain but keep mum as the grave a!iut those injudicious purchases that s'.io makes in the delirium cf a marked down sale. Let her rraisc and give honor to herself when her cake Is angel's food. But lut her chuck it into the garbage can and Mty nothing when her baking is Hat and snd nnl sour. When she burrs the gravy let her not -")-ep salt tear into It, but douse it with the contents of th- con diment shelf and offer it to her lord as a new sauce. So she shall have honor with l;er husband, 'nnd be exalted by him, for her husband esteem her. (Cepyrlgsasa. JW ky The Wheals ftradl emta lac Just Believe BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS There la very little difference be tween success and failure. But that difference means everything, for it's the difference between belief and un belief. Believe and worMa may pass! The man who writes a better book, who builds a better building, who constructs a finer machine, who paints a better picture, than anybody else, is ma who flm believes that he can ty.am. ihinn h..r tw do these very things better than they have ever been done before. So, you see, while it's very simple, it Is In reality very Important to Just believe. Would you wipe put the achieve ments of a Napoleon or an Edison, a man to hia goal. Tell him that he Is not going to win, that the patli be fore him is obstructed, and he will turn on you with eyes flashing like karat diamonds and say to you: "But I believe!" You could wipe away the Rocky mountains easier than you could wipe from the brain of an indomitable man his belief hts faith in winning. For. it Is the belief that a man carries within him, that. spurs him on. that trips up every failure along theievery December," explained Jones, way and that leads him with a high head and a straight-faced vision to PHELPS every penny. I never had an allow ance because there was only just BO much, and nothing must be wasted- Yet as I look back it Is the only criti- clsm I would make of my father and' mother. They brought me up without allowing me to handle a penny, or to use my judgment in spending. Mother bought my clothes and we made them together- If I had any little extras, as I grew older, she always got them for -me. I sometimes read stories of girls who had an allowance that they were permitted to spend exactly as they chose. These stories always made me envious, and I would wish I. too, might have money of my own to spend. Then X would weave dreams of the time when I would be married, and I, like mother, would buy for the family. But strangely I never dreamed of any of the town boys as a possible husband. I had played and danced gone to school and Sunday school with them, and in a way was very fond of them, as one is in a small town where the boys and girls grow up together. But whenever I thought of marriage, it was not with one of them. I was Just twenty-two the summer that Neil Forbes came to visit his aunt. She lived next door to us. and I met Neil almost immediately. There is very little ceremony in a place like Huntington. I was coming home from the store carrying a parcel for mo' her. when as I passed Mrs. Carter's gate she called to me: N "Come in, Bati. I want you to meet my nephew!" My real name was Barbara. Barbara Hill; but everyone called me "Bab." "Nell, this is my neighbor, Barbara Hill," was the way she introduced us. A very common way in Huntington "I am glad to -neet Miss Hill." a pleasant voice- said, and as I laid my hand in the one he extended I looked Into the handsome face of the only young man I ever had seen who in any way fulfilled my girlish ideals of what a husband should be. the thing ahead he is going to see done. If you want to move mountains. If you want to stamp a city somewhere, or put your character between the pages of history Just believe.

DINNER STORIES One of the most common supersti tions is the belief in a horseshoe as a talisman against evil. It was St. Dunstnn, the blacksmith, and the patron of all smiths and saints, who made the horseshoe lucky". St. Dunetan was an Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastic who lived in the tenth cen tury. He entered the Benedictine Or der at an early age, and when not engaged ln-religlous duties he was employed as a blacksmith. One day he was toiling away at the for.-e, when a shadow fell acror the doorway. The saint looked up, anJ whom did he ree but the devil! The Prince of Evil said thTit he had been traveling so long and so far that his hoofs ha4 become sore and ten der, and he desired to have horseshoes put on them. Dunstah agreed to do the job, and he made it as painful as possible. The devil bellowed and roared in rage, but Dunstan was very strong and refused to let go his hoofe until the Evil One had promised that he would never enter any house where a horseshoe was nailed above the door, nor molest any person who carried a horseshoe charm. It is now nearly a thousand years since this promise was made, sad whether the horseshoe has lost its charm or not, the legend la still with, us. "Gee, I hate winter," said Smith. "The months are so long and they seem to drag along so slowly." "Why. winter doesn't seem like any time to me." replied Jones. 'I make It pas so rapidly that It seems like a few days to me." "STow do you df?" asked Smith. 'I sign a nlrety-day promissory not and first thing I know the note la due."

The Chinese. reasserting their claims to Kiao Chow and denouncing Japan's twenty-one demands' on China openly charged that Japan pre vented China from joining the war in 1914, and 1315. After China had noti fied the allies she desired to declare war in 1914. it was charged, she re ceived intimation from "a certain power" that such a move would, be -likely to "create complications." Again, in 191, she was prepared to enter the war but Japan refused to assent.

Japanese Statement. The Japanese statement waa issued by Marquis Saionji. in response to a query regarding Japan's attitude to- war the league of nations. "Japan is completely sympathetic with the great project to esaalrlish peace on a just, impartial and firm basis. "We view the question as much from the general world viewpoint as from that of the far east, where we have been compelled three times in the past half century to resort to arms to maintain peace. We are happy that humanity, finally will be able to get a glimpse, altho feeble, of the new era, in which right will definitely tri umph over force. I am firmly convinced that China will appreciate our just and legitimate aspirations and will come to a com plete understanding: with Japan for maintenance of the general security of the progress of civilisation in the far east."

Will ot 3Iake Exec at it e Suf fer for the Missouri Paper. The members of the judiciary com mittee of the Kansas senaTe appar ently have "backed up oa their plan to let the Kansas City Star sweat for a farm tenantry constitutional amend ment. When the judiciary committee met Monday night for the sole purpose of giving a favorable recommendation to the farm tenantry resolution the at tention of the members was called to an editorial in the Kansas City Star in which the senate was accused of cowardice and was abused for its faii urt tn et behind some of the aof- ernor's measures sooner. The editor ial said it was about time the senate did something and intimated the judi ciary committee was going to take action on the farm tenantry measure Lfor the purpose of saving the faces of the memoers. The reading of the editorial caused the stormiest sesaion the judiciary committee has ever held. Getty, Fer rell and.MeClain threw off all re straint and said things about the Kan sas City Star with all the emphasis they could put behind their wielding of words of the Kansas language. Senator Price was just as indignant, but did not say so much, it is said. Finally the meeting broke up without anything having been doue. It was reported Tuesday that Sena tor Getty was primed, several times to arise to a point of personal privilege and ask that representatives of the Kansas City newspaper be excluded from the senate chamber. However, on every occasion he was advised that a more opportune time would come for this, and finally consented to abide this time. Rcvomineiul Farm Tenantry Plan. Tuesday night another meeting of the judiciary committee m as held at which a majority of the members voted to put out a farm tenantry reso lution with a favorable recommenda tion. It seems to be the belief of a num ber of members of the judiciary com mittee that the Kansas City Star thought the editorial could be used as a club to force the senate to get behind the Allen program. It is be lie. ed that the announcement of Price, McClain Ferrell and Getty that they would try to give the governor a farm tenantry resolution was taken by the Kansas City paper as an indication of weakness and that the editorial was produced as a club to drive the '"weak lings" in the direction desired. AIso. it is rumored, that the Kansas City Star planned to use the editorial again as a club and that if the farm tenantry resolution had not received a favorable vote the editorial would have been again reproduced and the names of the members of the judiciary committee who voted against it would have been printed in big type with the caption: "This editorial changed the votes of the following members of the Judiciary committee on the farm ten antry resolution." ad injustice 10 .men. v hether or not this threat was mi.de to the members of the judiciary committee is not known.' But it is the general impression that the change of heart shown by the senators was not due to such a threat, but to the reali zation that it would be an injustice to Governor Allen to make him suffer for the action of a Kansas City, Mo., news paper.

BOHEMIAN GIRL The "Bohemian Girl," presented last night by the Topeka Grand Opera company in its first appearance before he public, was a very creditable per formance. Only the last two acts of the ever popular opera by Balfe were given last night on account of the in experience of the actors and the lensrth of the opera, but it was aft en joyable performance and some of the cast showed decided talent. The chorus was the members of the choir of the First Methodist church and their work waa good. Mr. Horace Bowman, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Bowman, is a member of the cast who proba bly has a future in opera on the stage if he cares to follow that profession. He has a very fine baritone voice and shows dramatic ability. Last night he took the part of "Devils hoof." the Chief of the Gypsies. The work of Miss Marie Hobbs. daughter of the Rv. B. H. Hobbs. who was the "Queen of the Gypsies, was also good and displayed talent. Miss Inea Tiffany, who was Arline. the daughter of the cotint, has a so prano voice and her hreh notes are decidedly good. Her work in the last trio with Thaddeus and the count was specially to bj complimented. Mr. Edward Bartlett. the welt known Topeka baritone, took the part of Count Arnheim, governor of P res burg, and father of Arline. around whom jthe plot of the opera was wound. He sang with feeling and his numbers wera very much enjoyed by the audience. The aria, The Heart Bowed Down, which he sang on the stage alone at the beginning of the triall scene, when his daughter was to be tried for theft, was especially im pressive, as was also his rendition of "Then You'll Remember Me." Mr. Lawless played the part of Thaddeus. a proscribed Pole, and the accepted lover of Arline. and also car ried the responsibility for the success of the performance, of which he has been director, a double role which Was a very hard one. His work was very much enjoyed by those is the audience, among whom were many of his pupils and former students in voice. In the absence of an orchestra. Miss i menu lor tne enure performance. I. V.

That's the officer who's got hia men down on him. whiles they was all over in France with a common purpose, that of chasing autocracy offen the face of the earth. I reckon it never dawned on this yere sort of officer I'm a' talkin' about, that there was more, than one kind of autocracy. Some of 'em. may be, never had no chaneet to know nothin' about autocracy nohow, nor nothin' else that was of much ac count. Of course, they'e a lot cf 'em that waa real tolas, and they'd sense j enough to know that the doughboys tney waa commanding had just as high ideals, as a rule, as they had themselves, and most likely more of 'em. since they was willing to serve their country as privates, and treated sometimes like they was pirates. They wasn't more'n a few hundred thou sands willing to serve thataway, tho seme of 'em took it right graceful when the. government took 'em, whether or no. But what I'm tellin' you Is, that them officers over there that has made the life of the doughboy one &rand spree of misery is goin' to get hissen when those boys get home and don't have to aalute 'em, nor say "Str" I tion of the country, fi-r in addition to vfcen they speak to 'em. and in other! the excellent qualities of the men who ways show their inferiority.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1919 GIVE BOND POWER Bill "Would Permit Emergency Issue by Executive Council. Limit Amount, However, Quarter Million Dollars. to FIRE INSPECTION IS URGED Committee Approves State Rate Making Bureau Plan. Dudley Resolution for Early Return Ammunition Train. Emergency bonds of the state to the amount of a quarter of a million dol lars and to be retired in not more than five years may be issued on vote of the state executive council to ex tend relief in case of fire, storm or act of Providence. That is the text of a bill substituted and offered in the house today by Chairman Barrier of the state affairs committee. The bill will probably be rushed thru both houses in a few days. It is the purpose of the state affairs com mittee to meet an emergency in any of the state institutions by placing in j tn,e hands of the executive council the i .power and authority to Issue bonds. Kansas does not carry insurance on 1 her buildings or property. Insurance .premiums amount to more than the annual" losses. In former years there has been no fund available with which to meet losses from fire or storm at state in stitutions. Both Governor Hodges and Governor Capper signed personal notes at banks in order to meet the need of. funds for state work. This money could not be provided without an act of the legislature. So the governors provided the money and trusted to the succeeding legislature to repay. This system, tho. is hardly in keeping with good business practice. So the state may now provide for the creation of t an emergency fund in event of a de mand for money which cannot be taken from the treasury without legis lative enactment. Bonds which may be issued l.y the state executive council would be signed by the governor and secretary of state and bear the seal of the sec retary of state. They would be In denominations of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, and for a sum not exceeding $250,000. The bonds would be retired in a period not ex ceeding five years from the date of their issue. Must Inspect State Iroperty. An amendment to the fire marshal act was proposed in the house today by the insurance committee. Under the amendment, the state fire mar shal's force would make inspection of an state property at least twice each year. Reports as to conditions would be filed with the board in charge of the building. Methods for escape of persons in an state buildings would also be reviewed in the reports. Fire hazards, risks and general dangers from fires would be reported im- irediately rollowing the inspections, pi Strengthen Farm Bureau Law. Representative Gibsons' s bill pro vraing for a stronger county farm bureau lav-, passed the house today in a'fculk roll call. The bill will extend greater aid to farm bureau work in Kansas, and is expected to popular ize the department which has already Dffn established in forty-two counties. AJnder terms of Gibbons's bill the amount of money which may be ap pwUriated by county boards to farm bureaus is increased from $800 to $1,200 a year. This sum is dupli cated in joint federal and state appro priations. One-half of the second $1,200 would be paid by rhe govern merit under terms of the Smith-Lever aol, while the balance would be paid from funds of the state. Provision is auto made for tax levies by counties m.-oraer to care for farm bureau work. Upon petitions signed by 25 per cent of-the farmers of a county, the county, commissioners would be compelled to establish a county farm bureau. Gib bons believes that with the ending of tms war and increased number of men available for service, that provisions ofcthe farm bureau law will be ex tended to a majority of the counties. -House Approves llidgway Bill. 3louse members in committee of the wfiole approved provisions of the in surance bill by Ridgway of Wyandotte pis&viding for the organization, opera tion and supervision of fire insurance rate making bureaus. The bill was offered by the head of the house in surance committee in an effort to le galize and protect the rate making bureau of the state. Kidgway's bill builds up the work which, it is de clared, would be destroyed by the Car roll bill now in the senate. But one slight amendment was made to the Riigway bill. The Ridgwny measure provides that 1 every fire insurance company or other insurer authorized to effect insur ance against the risR or loss or dam age by fire in Kansas, shall maintain or be a member of a rate making bu reau. No insurer is permitted to be a member of more than one bureau for the purpose of rating the same risk. The term "fire insurance" as applied in the act is construed under terms of the bill to mean any com pany which issues policies against loss or damage by fire, lightning, wind storm, sprinkler leakage, use and oc cupancy, and insurance upon automo biles and other vehicles against loss or damage by fire or theft. Want Ammunition Train Home. Representative Dudley today intro duced a resolution in the house calling upon the federal war department to return the 117th Ammunition train with the Forty-second division at the earliest possible moment. The war de partment Is asked to supplant the am munition train with units which have not seen active overseas service. There are 1,000 Kansans in the ammunition train, which was made a unit of the Rainbow division and went overseas under command of Lieut. Col. Frank L. Travis, now state superintendent of insurance. Under the rules the resolu tion will not be taken up until the suc ceeding day of the session. GIRLS ARE GOOD Conduct of Legislative Em ployes Is Above Criticism. Gibbens Resents Presence Lady Sleuth Asks Identity. GRANTS A PARDON Wilson Lenient With Fifty Under Espionage Act. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS Commutes Sentences of Many Who Were Jailed. Chairman Gibbens of the house em ployes committee resents the report ed attempts of a female detective to spy on legislative employes and today declared the girls on the house pay roll were above suspicion. Every girl whose actions were in any manner suspicious was promptly dismissed from service, the house chairman as serted. According to the report which came from several house members, a wo man detective has been in the legisla tive halls during practically the entire session. It was stated that she was keeping books on the actions of girls on the house pay roll, but was also watching the actions of senate em ployes. Neither the identity of the woman nor the source of her employ ment was made public. Many girls on the house service resented the report that their actions were such as to oc casion watching. All Girla Above Suspicion. "I don't believe there is a girl on the employ of the house whose actions have justified -"the slightest suspicion," said Gibbens. "In fact I have watched them carefully and have had many re ports from members. So far as I have been able to learn there is not a girl in the service whose actions have attracted attention or wno nas shown the slightest tendency to flirt. I be lieve their integrity is absolutely above all suspicion and if there is a girl who has been in any manner subject to just criticism because of date making, I would like to have her name. If there is a woman detective in the legislature, she is here without my knowledge or approval. During several former sessions of the legislature, reports were current that certain lady employes attended parties and that in certain instances there was justification for complaint. If there really is a woman detective in the legislature which is said by cer tain members to be a fact Gibbens resents her attempts to prey on house employes. He also wants information concerning the identity of the gum shoe lady and the organization or society which sent her to Topeka. A number of lady employes of the house are anxious to hold a conversation with the mysterious sleuth. HURRY HEALTH WORK HE DARKENED HIS GRAY HAIR Tftcy Used to Call liim Grandpa; Now f.

President Wilson has acted on recommendation for commutation of pardon in cases of about fifty persons convicted and sen tenced under the espionage act, where no intent to violate the law was shown or where the sentences were regarded as excessive.

FEW PAVING PETITIONS Only Thirteen Blocks So Far Asked For at Ctty Hall. Up to date the petitions for only thirteen blocks of paving have been turned win to Commissioner W. G. Tandy. The city will receive petitions for new paving up to April 1. The last call cn paving petitions has usually been the first of each year, but this year Tandy decided to re- ceive petitions up to April 1. Petitions calling for paving at the following localities have already been received: Lincoln street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets; Lib. erty, between Sixth and Tenth streets; Leland, between Sixth and Tenth streets; Seventh, between Lincoln and Lane streets; Second, between Jackson and Van Buren streets. A petition calling for pavement on Euclid avenue between Kansas and Monroe streets, is being circulated. Commissioner Tandy urges all per sons interested in the securing of pav ing for any locality to push their peti tions along so as to get them filed be fore April 1. N- decision has yet been reached on any of the paving propositions. It is probable that they will not be definitely decided upon before April 1- STUDENT FROM AFRICA Wrogbo Nepe Enters the Topeka In dustrial and Kdu cat tonal Institute.

URGE KINDERGARTEN BILL Women's Clubs, Churt'lrs and Others Endorse Measure tn legislature. There Is one house bill on the cal endar, which haa been recommended by the committee off the whole, off the hoase. but which may have, hard sledding in the senate. This is House r? ill $43, an amendment to the tree kinderaarten biil which was made a law in f'ila. Mrs. June Chapman, chairman of the State Kindergarten association, was invited to come before the house committee off the whole with the amendment, and the measure received the unanimous endorsement off the committee. Miss Wooster. state superintendent of public instruction, is heartily fh fa vor ot the bill. It has also- been strongly endorsed by the general fed eration of women's clubs, the State Federation of Clubs, the Chamber of Commerce, the National Congress off Mothers, the Parent-Teacher associa tion, the Conservation. League off America, and the bureau off education at Washington. Seven other states besides Kansas are making- an effort at this time to have similar kindergarten, bills put on. the statute books. It has been tested out in other places with gratifying results. In the public schools off Massachusetts, in cluding hig-h schools, the average cost of education of each pupU is $30.53. The average cost for each child in the kindergartens now maintained, is $1S. SI. In St. Louis, where kindergar tens are firmly established as a part of the public school system, the cost off the kindergarten per child is $tS,12, or about J 3 less than the cost off the grade school. Dr. Prank Loveland. when asked nis opinion off the movement, had this to say: "I am most decidedly in favor off the amendment; it im right in line with the modem methods off education in this r?eo instruction era, upon w&icfe we are nov entering It woulal be unfortunate- iff Kansas should not fall ia line with this work." mrs.ITr! conklin dies New York ffomaa Prominent in War Work Was In Ijeavenwortl.

WAS SCARED WHEN WOUNDED Injuries So Palnfnl He Asked Nurse To I-eate Room. Bat She Stayed and Said, "Yob Did Pretty Well, Boy." la a thirty minute speech 1efore the Kansas house of repreeentatreea today, Sergt. Robert McGiffert told of the hell in the -fightina; which stopped the Germans at Chateau Thierry. Sergeant McGiffert left a les on the field of battle and suffered seyenteen wounds. H said the Marines which stopped the Hun drrre were one of the best trained organizations in the world. In three days before we went into, the line, the Germans had driven the French back 39 miles." said the speaker. "The French had been out numbered ten tc one. It was the mo tor transports and the French 75s that saved Paris and France. Once our organization was so badly crippled that had the Germans been able to mass a few extra troops and launch a counter attack, they would have had a straight road thru France and Into Paris." Sergeant McGiffert asserted that the German mass fightinsr was their great est strength. In a skirmish line they were no match for allied troops, he said, "When we went in the Germans first thought we were Algerians the fieree fighters who cut off ears and refuse to give up their trophies even when sent back to the hospitals. The Germans ahead of us didn't know the l-"r.ited States had troops in France, much, less in the lines. Trae Democracy in Lioes. "Ton get true democracy in those front lines where every man digs in for himself even and including the captain. And they dig in quickly and most willingly, 'The day I was wounded the stretcher bearers picked up the man next to me first. His arm fell out of his sleeve risrht on my neck when tiey picked him up. About fifteen minutes later they came back for me. I guess I got scared that day or shell shocked or something. As they car ried me down a ravine. I felt every time a shell came over that it had my name written all over it. One shell did come pretty close and the stretch er men laid me down and ran. Then they pirt me in an ambulance. But a man above me bled so profusely that bieod splattered all over my face. ''They removed a bandage when I reached the hospital. It hart so- bad ly I asked the nurse to leave the room. It seemed I couldn't stund that pain any lonjrer. I had to let loose. Then she walked over and laid a hand on my head and said. 'Dearie, if there is-airyttiinar I haven't heard, go ahead. i guess t win near it sooner or later anyway, Aftar it was over she patted my head and said. 'Well, my boy. you surely did pretty well." The praise for those doctors and nurses cannot be too great. Often I have known nurses to stay on the joe. twelve and fourteen hours without a rest period when they wer expected to be re lieved at the end of seven or eight hours." Over the Top Smiling. Serjeant McGiffert praised the spirit of. the American fighting "forces. "One day the boys suggested we singr something," he said. "I thought it would be 'Lead Kindly Light' or 'Nearer ily God to Thee. But one doughboy yelled out, 'Let's sing "Pack Tour Troubles in the Old Kit Box and Smile, Smile. Smile."

This was one off the wettest Februarys in the history off Kansas and, com in. as it did. after the heavy snows of vrmtrnd mure thorolv soaked tn all Darts long1 time. Much off the month's moisture fell as mow, which totaled from S to 12 inches in the western third, where in many counties the ground was deeply covered all month. In the eastern part the snow was not quite so heavy. County roads were in very poor condition and in many places, even in the extreme western counties, were impassable a great deal of the time. PRISON COST LOW Dailj Expense per Capita at Lansing Oil $.861. Meals at Topeka State Hospital 7,6i Cents Each. It costs the state off Kansas 5214.3 a year to keep a man or woman is. the stats penitentiary. The per capita cost in the largest asylums off the state at Topeka and, Osawatomie ia con siderable less than at the penitentiary, being $214.3 a year at the Topeka institution and iil--3a at Osawatomie. On thia basis the daily expense per capita in- these three institutions is S-331 at the state prison; $.537 at the Topeka asylum, and $.58 3 a day at the Osawatomie state hospital. Figuring the cost off sustenance alone that is food, the high cost off living; a It ho a constant giess and a trying problem thruout the year for the state board off administration, the business manager and the heads off the institutions did not make much headway. It cost per meal to feed the 1.555 inmates and IS employes off the Topeka state hospital, 7.62 cents; for the average daily attendance at the Osawatomie institution, off 1,358 inmates and 1ST employes, the per meal cost was 7.4a cents. For the 7S3 inmates off the state prison, the meals cost 12.33 cents each. The rea son for the increase in price at the prison was that the number in the Topeka asylum, for instance, is more than twice the number in the state prison, also many off the prisoners are engaged in heavy manual toil, and hence are ffed heavier than hospital inmates. At the asylums the state feeds both employes and inmates, while at the penitentiary the attend ants receive proportionately larger sal aries and pay their own board bills. Thjpse ffirures sre taken from the annual report, compiled by the state accountant. J. E.

The law requires the probate Judge to make a report of this kind, based on the latest reports of the executors and administrators of the estates, to the county assessor March 1 of each year, in order that the proper taxes may be assessed. The remarkable in crease in the figures this year over 1918 is attributed in part to the John R- Mulvana estate, in which the per sonal property exceeded in value a million dollars. Judge Gaw pointed out this morn ing that the population of Shawnee county was composed largely of re tired farmers and business men. many of them from smaller towns, who had moved and settled down in the capi tal city in order that their children might have the best educational facili ties, as well as for other natural rea sons. As these people pass away, they leave an estate of greater or less pro portions to be administered. Per Capita Wealth Hicb- The greater the per capita wealth of a county, according to Judge Gaw. the greater the size of the estates to be administered. The per capita wealth of Shawnee county is estimated at $1,651, the total valuation in the county being about a hundred million dollars. On the other hand. Wyan dotte county, with a population twice as great, boasts a per capita wealth of only $1,129, whieh Judre Gaw ex plains ia due to the fact that the popu lation of Wyandotte county is made up largely of laboring people. Sedge wick county, however, leads both Wyandotte and Shawnee, with a total wealth of $127,OOO,fl00 and a per cap ita wealtn of $1,ST8. Butler county, where the great oil fields are located, furnishes the unusual case of a county with a valuation of JLIS.O'JO.U'JH and a population of only 46.000. making the per capita wealth about $2.58S. Political economists contend that every estate in a county passes thru the process of administration about once in every generation, and the rec ords of the probate court show this theory to be well founded.
