THREE CENTS HOME EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1919 FOURTEEN PAGES SENATE DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION OF TREATY "LEAK" Hitchcock's Resolution Adopted After Fiery Debate. Democratic Senator and Lodge in Dramatic Clash. DEMAND A COPY IMMEDIATELY Pass Johnson's Resolution Without Roll Call. Treaty Row Is Causing Embar rassment in Paris. Washington, June 6. Investigation of how copies of the peace treaty with Oermany reached persons in New York was ordered today by the senate. After Heated Clash. Action on the Hitchcock resolution oame after a substitute resolution by Senator Kellogg, Republican, of Min nesota, had been withdrawn at the re quest of Senator Lodge. Senator Hitchcock charged the substitute would not authorize the investigation he proposed in his resolution. With out a record vote and after a dramatic clash between Hitchcock and Lodge, the senate adopted a resolution by Sen ator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebras ka, providing for an inquiry into charges made on the floor two days ago by Chairman Lodge And Senator Borah, of the foregn relations commit tee. A moment later the resolution of Penator Johnson, Republican, of Cali fornia, requesting the state depart ment to furnish the senate with a copy of the German peace treaty, was adopted without a roll call, without further debate and with only a hand ful of senators present. Lodse leaped to his feet white with aner. "I-)o you deny that I saw it?' he shouted. "I insist on my right to investigate the senator's statement," said Hitch cock. Glare at F.aoh Other. The two advanced to the middle of aisle. wh?re they glared at each other. Hitchcock declared Lodge was eager yesterday for passage of the Hitchcock resolution, "but over night he seems to have seen a new light, which causes him now to lose some of his enthusi asm for immediate action." Lodge interrupted to assure Hitch cock that if he would stop talking the resolution would quickly be passed. "I haven't delayed the investiga tion. You delayed it a whole day I am going to ask Senator Kellogg to withdraw his substitute so as to sooth Penator Hitchcock by leaving in the resolution my name and Senator Jtorah's." he said. Kellogg at once withdrew the sub stitute and the Hitchcock resolution was passed. The foreign relations committee will begin the Investigation at once, Senator Lodge announced. A sub committee probably will be appointed to conduct it. Under the Hitchcock resolution, the committee is ordered to learn whether the treaty text is in the hands of persons in New York, how it got there and what special or peculiar interest they have in it. The resolution places squarely upon Lodge and Borah responsibility for statements that the text is in this coun try and that parties having a "peculiar interest" in it, have the copies. The two senators probably will be among the first witnesses at the in vestigation, altho both have already stated in the senate that they told ail they know. Treaty Causing Trouble. Paris. June 6. Meanwhile, the big fours continued refusal to publish the text of the original treaty is re sulting in embarrassment to the Amer ican commissiorfers, as the result of charges by Senators Lodge and Borah that copies are in possession of certain private interests in New York. This embarrassment Is Increased by the fact that it is reported copies in Ger man. French and English are available at news stands in Germany. Switzer land. Holland and in other neutral countries. There is understood to be a strong feeling among some mem bers of the commission that the text should he made immediately available to the American people. The British correspondents In Paris have begun an investigation as to why their first dispatches regarding dis cussion of the necessity of peace treaty changes by the council of four wire held up for thirteen hours. The dispatches reached the newspapers too late for publication In the current issues. ORLANDO JbVAS ABSENT Knllnn's Failure To Appear nt "4" In dicates Adriatic Question. Fnris. June 6.

STRIKE IN THE SOUTHEAST Nearly 95 Per Cent Operators j Walk Out, Is Claim. Officials Declare They Will Not Take Unions Back. CALL BURLESON A QUITTER Gave Up Wires When Labor Matters Need Settlement. Fight to Finish With Western Union Co. nv. Atlanta. Ga., June 6. Strike leaders early today claimed that at least 95 per cent of "Western Union telegraph workers in the southeast have already responded to President S. J. Konen kamp's strike order issued late yester day. Kailroad operators also are refusing to handle Western Union business at way stations, union leaders asserted. "Complete reports probably will not be received for a few honrs," said Charles F. Mann, international third vice president, directing the strike. "However, all indications point to a complete landslide." The Fight Is On. Washington, June 6. President S. J. Konenkamp of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America, today declared Postmaster General Burle son's order restoring control of the wire companies to their owners means a "finish fight" between the telegraph ers and the Western Union thruout the country. Wire control, Konenkamp said, "was made necessary by the Western Union refusing to reinstate unjustly dis charged employes and abide by recom mendations of impartial authorities. Postmaster General Burleson, by his action in returning the wires, shows himself a quitter. He has acted with out solving the labor problem which made necessary the original seizure of the wires by the government. We now find ourselves returning to the status quo ante and forced to fight it out." Ordered a Strike. Immediately upon notification that Burleson had ordered control of the wires returned late yesterday, Konen kamp authorized a strike of Western Union telegraphers thruout the south eastern states. Though planning to return to Chicago last night for a con ference with-union -officiate there, he remained over today to watch devel opments. "I am informed that 100 per cent of the men are out at New Orleans," Konenkamp said this morning, "and highly satisfactory word comes from the entire southeastern section. Postal' men and others, however, want to go out also. It will be impossible to hold them in much longer. It is certain that the strike will spread thruout the country." June 16 Is Date, Electrical workers thruout the country have set June 16 as the date upon which they will leave their posts and it was regarded likely that Konenkamp will select the same day or the day before or after for the na tion-wide telegraphers strike. But possibly it may come sooner, he indicated today. Administration officials were keep ing in close touch with strike develop ments. That President Wilson will take a hand was believed likely here.

The message further stated it was j believed the N'icaraguan government j would concentrate against the forces blood and the stirring up of hatred between the two republics. "No American marines have been landed in any Costa Rican port," de clared Mr. Lara in a statement refer ring to press dispatches saying United States marines had landed at Pun tarenas and Port Limori. "There Is no reason whatsoever for them to land unless it would be on a mission of courtesy and friendship." PASS IRISH MEASURE Senate Calls on American Delegates To Secure Ireland a Hearing.

NOW ABSOLUTELY DIVORCED Prom North American and Bankers Realty Companies. Work Resumed Shortly, Will Proceed to Completion. The Topeka ten-story, modern, fire proof hotel at Ninth and Kansas ave nue after various delays will be forth coming and work on It resumed and proceed to completion. Frank P. MacLennan, president of the Kansas Hotel company, and Edwin A. Austin, attorney, returned from Omaha today, where they have been during this week arranging the de tails for the full and complete trans fer of all of the North American Ho tel company's interests and those of the Bankers' Realty Investment com pany, of Omaha, over to the Kansas Hotel company, which will proceed at once to construct "The Hotel Kan- san," the excavations being made about ready for the foundations. ine xopeKa project is now com pletely divorced from the Omaha com panies. The deeds to the site have been conveyed by the North Ameri can Hotel company to the Kansas Hotel company, and the old contract entered into with the Bankers' Realty Investment company for the construc tion of the hotel has been cancelled. All of the assets of the North Amer ican Hotel company have been trans ferred to the Kansas Hotel company, and all bit the stock, subscribed, for ia the North American Hotel company by the Topeka subscribers will be ex changed and Kansas Hotel company shares, par for par, issued for it These latter shares are six per cent cumulative and carry voting power with each share; the North American stock did not. The Topeka hotel is now on its own bottom. Very many subscriptions have been waiting for several months pending the divorce of the Topeka company from the Omaha comnanles Mr. H. M. McQueen, the fiscal agent of the Kansas Hotel company, and his associates. F. N. Abererdmbie and others, take hold of the sale of subscriptions today with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. Mr. Carroll B. Merriam, president of the Chamber of Commerce, says today that that body and the committee will proceed with real heart and confidence to' procure Topeka's lacking subscription. The dissolution from the Omaha companies has now been completely effected. The final papers were signed in Omaha last evening, with the exception of one signature from one. of the parties concerned who was in Chicago. A wire this afternoon says the signature has been made and the agreements fully executed. This will be good news to all Tope kans and Kansans who may rest as sured that the hotel will now go for ward to completion. It is believed that this hotel will be one- of the most profitable in the whole country, as it is conceded by the public and hotel men that there is no place where such a hotel is more greatly needed. Every well managed, fireproof hotel, in a location demand ing it, is now among the most profit able Duslness enterprises known. The stock of the Kansas Hotel com pany is practically assured to earn at least a 6 per cent net revenue over and above taxes. The suit filed this week in Omaha by the North American Hotel com pany against Bankers' Realty Invest ment company has no bearing on the Topeka project; that suit was brought to settle a disagreement and an ac counting between the two companies, neither of which has now any con nection with the Kansas Hotel com pany, which builds "The Hotel Kan san" at Ninth and Kansas avenue. Mr. MacLennan has not been in To peka until today noon since the 17th of April, having gone to New York at that time to attend the annual meet ing of the Associated Press. He was taken seriously ill there and confined to his room for several weeks. He has now almost recovered, coming home by way of Omaha, where he has been since Monday last. Mr. MacLennan laughingly re marked today: "I determined to stay in Omaha with this project until it was fixed up to suit the Topeka people and legally sound and tight. I told Mr. Austin that I did not dare to re turn home to Topeka till it was so ad Justed. I was asking monthly rates at an Omaha hotel when the issues were suddenly all adjusted in a happy manner, with all parties satisfied." YANKS" IN A RIOT V. S.

It is probable that the allied and associated powers will comply with the German demand to state approximately the maximum sum which Germany must pay in rep aration under the peace treaty, ac cording to the Matin. This sum, it states, will be from 200,000,000,000 to 250,000.000,000 francs. (The larger sum named, on a gold valuation, would not be far from 150.000.000,000.) Paris, June 6. British and French delegates, thru American intercession, were reported today to be approach ing an agreement on the degree of modification of the German peace treaty. It was understood that the changes in the terms probably will re sult in some concessions by both groups, the French receding from their previous stand of opposing all modifications, with the British agree ing to abandon most of the alterations recently advocated by them. The- reply to the German counter proposals, which will embody the pro posed modifications. Is now expected to be ready for presentation early next week. Final Answer June 14. Indications are that Germany then will be given only three or four days in which to say "yes" or "no." which would make her final answer not later than Saturday, June 14, HUN SHOULD SIGN Independent Socialist Leader in Favor of Treaty.

Hugo Haase. lead er of the Independent Socialists, de elared in an interview today that Ger- AMtny B&mld sign the peace treaty, rpardlrM of whether she can obtain etty modifications. "Personally, believe the German delegates should, do their utmost to secure modifications, but they should sign in any event, Haase said. "It is more disadvantageous for Germany not to sign than to accept the treaty even in its present harsh form. Haase saM he saw small chance of the Independent Socialists taking over the government unless the workers generally demanded it. "If all Join in demanding a real Socialist government, then I believe all the Socialist factions will under take to form a coalition government' he said, "but such a movement would not be attempted by force." Haase admitted he had heard rumors of a plan to attempt to over throw the government June 7, but said that investigation had proved the rumors false. Reports were in circulation that several members of the cabinet are prepared to resign if the peace treaty is not altered. America a Disappointment. Vienna. June 5.

I have no power to enforce such terms upon the popula tion of German-Austria, and it will be dangerous for the man who signs them."

He Merely Turns Back Respon sibility, Says Kingsbury. WON'T AFFECT LEGISLATION Congress Will Go Ahead and Repeal Law Anyway. Senator Watson Says P. G. Is Dodging Strike Issue. Washington, June 6. Unanimous decision to press legislation for repeal of the wire control resolution despite Postmaster General Burleson's order returning telegraph and telephone properties to private operation was reached today by the senate interstate commerce committee. Chairman Cum mins announced the bill would be called up in the senate next week. After a further hearing today, how ever, the "committee amended the bill so as to continue existing telephone toll rates in effect for ninety days after the wires are turned back in stead of sixty days as originally pro posed. Washington, June 6. That Post master General Burleson still controls telegraph and telephone wires; that his order restoring control to the owners was "flim flam" and designed to "pass the buck on the wire strike," were thoughts advanced today aa the sen ate Interstate commerce committee met to consider wire legislation. N. C. Kingsbury, vice president of the American Telephone Telegraph Co., declared Burleson's order of late yesterday "wiped out the -operating board only and allowed the companies to take charge of actual operations." But the postmaster general, he said, "still holds control over the wires with the wire control board, of which he is chairman." "Then his order was simply a piece of flim flam," said Senator Kellogg. chairman ot the committee. "It doesn't amount to anything." Pass Buck on Strike? "Wasn't .it purpose, perhaps, to pass the buck on the strike?" asked Seantor Watson. Kingsbury asserted -there has- been an error In the official statement is sued last night by the postofflce de partment. "The publicity bureau In Its heading written over the text of Mr. Burleson's order was unfortunately misleading," Kingsbury declared. "It stated that the telegraoh and telephone wires were being returned to their respective owners by Burleson. The publicity department tried to re call this heading but apparently it was too late as the statement already had been sent out." Federal Control Remains. Senator Kellogg began by asking jiingsDury if the order meant relin quishment of federal control. "No," answered Kingsbury. "Then Burleson turned back the re sponsibility and kept the control Kellogg observed. "The order merely means that the companies will now operate their own wires for the postmaster general. Kingsbury explained. "We will still have to report to the wire control board." lias More Power. "The authority of the aperating board is now transferred to the post master general," senator Fernald, Maine, suggested. "Exactly," answered Kingsbury. "Burleson still has the same powers over the companies as he had before?" Kellogg asked. "Yes," replied Kingsbury. Wilson Was Consulted. That President Wilson was consult' ed by Postmaster General Burleson be fore the order was Issued returning control of the wires to their owners was accepted 'here today as certain. President Wilson, it is known, sent over the order some weeks ago which resulted in Burleson announcing that the wires would be returned soon. Burleson himself, in a letter to the committee today, expressed a desire to correct any impression that he had turned back anything but control of operation. So after adopting an amendment to continue existing rates for ninety days nstead of sixty days, as provided in the original resolution, the committee decided to Ftand pat on the Kellogg wire return as submitted to the senate. measure 1 Burleson's letter. follows: "An order issued by me relative to 1 the operation of the telegraph and j telephone system, has been construed Dy some as hlluui iciuiii ui vnc i' ertles to the owners. No such action had been taken by me nor Is any con templated. This order simply dissolves the operating board appointed by me under date of December 13, 1918, and directs that the systems be again operated by the regular operating of ficials under government supervision. "Responsibility of the government to these sytems In no wise ceases. "It being evident that these proper ties are to be returned in the very near future, it was necessary for the postmaster general to take steps im mediately to set up the regular oper ating organization of the companies, so that when the properties are turn ed back it can be done without con fusion or interruption to the service, was the purpose of the order. Doesn't Affect Legislation. "This order In no wise affects the legislation pending before your com mittee or before congress. It will enable the companies to begin steps immediately to prepare the data and collect their information to be sub mitted to the state commissions for the rate cases, which will probably be taken up immediately after the period of government control ends. "I am attaching copies of the order and statement made by me at the time same was issued," SAYS 14 POINTS FOLLOWED Treaty Violates None of My Princi ples, President Declares. Paris. June "I am convinced that our treaty project violates none of my principles." President Wilson quoted' by the Matin as having said when lie was made acquainted with the German coun ter proposals to the peace treaty. "If I held a contrary opinion I would not hesitate to confess It and would endeavor to correct the error. The treaty as drawn up, however, entirely conforms with my fourteen points."

Action was taken by the Kansas governor today following a conference with several suffrage leaders of thl state. He also counseled with H. H.

While Governor Allen asks that the' purpose of the legislature be limited1 to ratification of the suffrage amend--ment. the legislature Is its own judge as to business to be transacted.

"Kansas has been a leader In th suffrage movement," said Representa tive K. Li. Barrier of Greenwood county, "and I think we ought to hav a special session to ratify the national amendment. X believe the legislature would limit its work to the duxdom set forth in the call." J In his letter the governor urged that a session be held nd disposed of with- out interfering with work In the wheat harvest. It is the belief of ad j ministration leaders that the demand j ox tne narvesi ueios would at tnie time prevent a long drawn out session and would block introduction of use- 1 less bills. .Not since 1908 has Kansas had ft I "'c'a' """in of the legislature.

Wilkes Barre, .June 6. State and local authorities today were conduct-1 ing". separate investigation into the explosion in a tunnel of the Delaware Hudson Coal company yesterday that cost the lives of eighty-three men and the injury of fifty others. A large number of the Injured were seriously burned and maimed and it is feared many of them cannot recover. There was a difference of opinion as to the exact cause of the accident which occurred while the men were on their way to work In a, train of four teen mine cars drawn by an electric motor. In the middle of the train were two cars containing seven kegs of black powder. According to sur vivors, the overhead trolley wire sagged when the train had penetrated the tunnel about 200 feet and touched a steel powder keg, forming a short circuit-and setting off the powder, pfficials of the company, after an in vestigation, expressed the opiniop. that a steel bar or drill carried, by one of the men came in contact with the wire, forming a short circuit which caused the powder to give way. Karly reports that the mine laws were violated by carrying men and ex plosives on the same train were de nied by Seward Button, chief of the state bureau of mines. Mr. Button said the state mine code contained no regulations on the transportation of explosives. He declared this was a greivous omission and that he would issue regulations on his own responsi bility which would check careless methods and insist that they be obeyed until they can be enacted Into law.

There were no prosecutions under the law although heating continued as In previous winters. Unofficially, the ordi nance was declared Illegal. Kansas Clty"s effort at controlling the disposition of Its gas supply by legislation, failed signally. What could not be accomplished by legislative action on the part of the city government, was brought about thoroughly and effective by an Increase in the price of gas in the autumn of 1818, from oO cents to RO cents a thousand cubic feet. As the Smithsonian Institute, the United States Fuel Administration and other scientific authorities had Indicated, the only way In -which, it was possible to bring about the proper use of natural gas was by placing upon It a price nearer in line with its actual worth.

"Eighteen years a?o this Spring," said Mrs. Annie Welsh, of 1204 An tionette street, Peoria, Illinois, "while we wpre living on the farm. I lost my health and have nver seen a well day since that time until a few weeks aro. Why. if anybody had told me there was a medicine that could relieve me of all these eighteen years' suffering in so short a time I would not have believed them. But Tanlac has done all this for me and more, for I have gained thirty-five pounds in weight on seven bottles of the medicine. "I was first taken with an attack of acute indigestion and lay right at the point nf death. The cramps and pains in my stomach simply can't be de scribed, and after this spell I lost veight and strength very fast and soon had no health at all. I suffered from what they called autointoxication a poisoned system and took so much strong medicine trying to get Hd of the acid that my stomach got in an awful condition. Then I was taken with rheumatism and had It so bad in my arms and leirs that I could hardly stand it. Then my kidneys com menced to bo: her me ami my back hurt me so bad at times that I would actually scream. Many a night t couldn't sleep on account of my suf fering and had become almost a con firmed invalid. I could eat nothing much except toast, my back was nearly killing m-5 and I had rheumatism so bad I was afraid I would lose the use of all my limns. '"I wan unable to do the least bit of work and while we spent all of twelve 1 undred dollar- for treatment and medicines nothing ever did me any good until a friend of mine who had used Tanlac persuaded me to try it. Well. I had not taken Tanlac long until I knew I had at last found the right medicine. have taken seven bottles now and evrv sign of rheuma tism is gone, my kidneys never bother me anv rrwre and mv stomach is in as good condition as it ever was. In fact I am a perfectly well woman, enjoy as good health as t ever did in my life, and i hs seems almost too good to be true after suffering for eighteen years as t did. Why. I ran do all the work, washing and everything, for mv family of nine children and feel none the worse frnm it. So I have the best of reasons for praising Tanlac and if I could speak to everv suffering per son personally I would advise them to try it." Tanlac is sold in Topka by Tully VcFarland Drug Co. Adv.

Washing, ton. 1. C. Having brought the telephone anr telegraph service of the country to a condition of demoralization and inef ficiency hitherto unbelievable And brought on a strike which threatens to become nation-wide. Postmaster General Burleson ha thrown the wires back on their owners, leaving the men to whom management of their business has been .restored to work out of the difficulties In whatever way th y may. However reprehensi ble Burleson's action may appear It is not wholly without precedent. Wil liam G. McAdoo performed a similar service for the railroads. After get ting them into hopeless tangle and piling up an enormous deficit he quit the Job of. managing them, leaving the work of clearing up the mess to his successor, to congress or to whomever might be .called upon to undertake it. Probably no presidential cabinet in the history of4 the country has included so many incompetents and quitters as that named by President Wilson. The opinion seems td be widespread that there still are other members who could be spared with benefit to the country. The Great War dwarfed all other military struggles in history by com parison, but it produced no superior military genius like Napoleon. Foch stands out as the most prominent fig ure but like our own General Grant he arose to supreme command after the bulk of the work had' been done. AN" OUTSIDER'S VIEW. The importance of advertising in connection with the successful prose cution of the war and the future progress of the country was ably aet forth by Francis H. Sisson, vice pres ident of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, before the Advertising council of the Chicago Association of Commerce, on Tuesday of this week. Advertising has played a very im portant part in creating for and re vealing to us the new conception of our national responsibilities and duties, said the speaker. America' titanic efforts and achievements dur ing the war would not have been pos sible without the aid of publicity, which helped to make the "impossi ble" possible. Advertising was never before so universally recognized as one of the most powerful creative and constructive forces in the world. But. like every other great basic element in our existence, he continued, it, too, has undergone changes and has caught the spirit of the dawning era of a new peace. It has been quick ened Into a new life;. It has acquired new potentialities; never before has it exerted such Influence over the minds and hearts of mankind. It has reached and stirred our souls to the sublimest sacrifices. It matters not that this power re sulted from the most Intense emotion al period in the world's history and that It was due chiefly to patriotic fer vor, for advertising was largely Instru mental In creating the very emotion and patriotism from which It gained its greatest strength of appeal. Each reacted upon the others: each devel oped the others. And for the first time, advertising sounded the depths of human nature. It penetrated to the elemental In human nature. That Is the paramount lesson, as It was the paramount achievement, of advertising during the war. That Is the foundation upon which advertis ing must work In building the business of the future. That Is the basic truth of which we must not lose sight. We realize as never before, said Mr. Sisson. that advertising Is limited only by the limitations of human nature: that its laws can no more be codified than can those of human nature; that every new discovery about human na ture furnishes a new factor In adver tising; that all our vaunted accumu lation of advertising knowledge is only fragmentary, incomplete, disjointed. and defies definition in concrete, pre cise, axiomatic terms, even- as our knowledge of human nature. It is well that We understand these fundamental facts; that we compre hend how. Ideas have changed the world over; that we sense and study the new human environment which exists today and which transcends aca demic formulas or doctrinaire notions. For there is a greater need today than ever in the past for scientific knowl edge of commerce, distribution, trade conditions, finance, economics, psy chology and art in brief, all human knowledge in the advertising pro fession. PEACE TREATY ARGUMENTS. Germany la reported to be carrying her bluff of refusing to sign the peace treaty, unless it be modified, to the extent of making preparations for armed resistance. In proceeding far ther in this direction of course she will fare worse. In his communication addressed to the allies, Herr Brockdorff-Rantzau objects to the surrender by Germany of her merchant tonnage and ships; to renouncing her colonies and over seas possessions; to the loss of approx imately one-third of the production of Germain coal mines by yielding the Sarre basin, stating that the loss of these would lead to an economic' de pression which would bring about a catastrophe among the Germans themselves. Peace, he states, would impose on Germany "numberless human sacri fices that this war of four and one half years did not demand of her pride." And, he adds, those who will sign this treaty will sign the "death sentence" of many millions of German men, women and children. To this protest the allied and asso ciated council reply that Germany was mainly responsible for the damage and destruction wrought, and she cannot escape that responsibility. It is not the 'peace terms, the allied note says,' but the acts of those who made and continued the war, which are the cause of any sufferings Germany may have to bear. The allied answer sim ply points out to the head of the Ger man peace delegation that Germany's position, so far as loss of merchant tonnage Is concerned. Is not well taken. It points out that the loss to world shipping thru the German piratical submarine warfare was nearly 13,000, 000 tons. The allies propose to make Germany repay only 4,000,000 tons. Responsibility for this shortage in shipping; Is, of course, placed directly on Germany, which sank the tonnage and in that view the Germans' share in replacing it is called "very moder ate." fWkh reference to the German plea that Germany. Will be called upon to feed 67.000,000 persons, it is cited that the peace treaty takes 6,000,000 out of German control. As for German agri culture, it is in better shape certainly than the agriculture of Poland, of Bel glum and of northern France, which waa totally destroyed by the Germans during the war. That Germany will lose certain commodities may be true, but Germany can import those com modities. Concerning the loss of what Rantzau says has taken placo with regard to coal, the allied reply points to the fact that the German armies deliberately, without need or military necessity, completely de stroyed the coal fields of France,' and that having done so, reparation calls for the turning over to France for her own commercial and industrial needs, the coal fields of the Sarre basin. But even then,, the allied reply points out, this still leaves Germany sufficient coal for all her needs. The Germans complain that the German population will suffer under the treaty; which Brockdorff-Rantzau describes as a "death sentence." The reply of the allies is that all countries are suffering as a result, of the war and there is no reason why Germany, which was responsible for the war and which Drought this suffering to the entire world, should not suffer. The associated powers have beea in .reality much more lenient with Ger many than Germany deserves. High prices do not seem to be in terfering with the progress of Akron, O., which from January 1 to May 1, 1919, made a record of 951 building permits for houses. In addition, bond issues were carried March 5: For sewers, $3,000,000; schools, $1,000,000; viaduct, $400,000; children''"home, $100,000. The total value for all pro jected building operations is $5,011, 478. Postmaster General Burleson, who has made so miserable a failure of operation of the wire systems under one head, advocates the co-ordination of the systems in operation when re turned to their owners. The public will appreciate the fact that some sav ing could be accomplished in expense bf operation by that plan, but there is also a general feeling that competition results in better service. And the peo ple at all times are willing to pay for satisfactory service. They are now- more than ever -willing to do so after their experience with the other kind. United States marines have been landed In Costa Rica to settle a fam ily row among the inhabitants of that country. But Bimilar conditions in Mexico right at our door are permit ted to exist undisturbed. We long have been exercising mandatory pow ers in Santo Domingo. It would be in teresting to "know what is the power that withholds Uncle Sam's hand from Mexico. TOPEKA STATE! JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU niXDERIC J. HASKJN. Director. Washington. IX CL LOCK YOUR CAR. Washington, D. C. June 3. Unless you lock your car secjtrely every time you leave it on the street, and unless you keep it in a garage at night, you are Inviting loss by theft. A few years' ago, when car stealing was done mostly by clumsy amateurs bent on joy riding, you may have been justified in taking chances; but now this branch of larceny has grown into a thriving Industry, the. existence" of which is made possible by careless car owners. The cleverest and most dar ing professional thieves in the Coun try are going into the car-stealing business, and the percentage of stolen cars recovered is growing steadily smaller in most cities. Yet the car that is properly locked, and is kept in a garage is seldom stolen. Police records show that the major ity of automobiles stolen during the past year and the number is impres sive either bore no special locking devices at the time of the tneit, or were left unlocked by careless owners. The other day, a Washington detective had to be sent all the way to Califor nia to recover a touring car belonging to a local business man, who admitted that his car had a lock, but that he had foolishly left the key in it. The American Automobile associa tion reports that in nine months, in fifty large American cities, 22,750 cars were stolen. Figuring an average cost of $450 per car, this would mean the loss of over ten million dollars worth of property. Quite an industry! In Washington during the last year, 864 cars were stolen, 134 of which have not yet been recovered. This represents a high percentage of re covery. In most cities only 40 or 60 per cent of stolen cars are recovered. An idea of the traffic in stolen tires may be gained from the fact that the police force here recovered -fifteen thousand dollars worth of tires of one make during the past year. In addition to the value of the property, it costs the city $12 to $16 everv time a car is stolen. When a car is reported missing at police head quarters, an officer takes down a de scription o the vehicle, or as much of it as he can pump out oi ine ownei. Usually, this is surprisingly little. It is incredible how much the average person does not know about his car. Quite commonly, he does not know the numbers on his license tags,i and seldom is he acquainted with the mo tor number. "If automobile owners would only carry and also keep at home or at their offices a written memorandum of their license numbers, engine num ber, tire numbers, and the location and description of private identifica tion marks on the machine," says MaJ. Raymond W. Pullman, police com missioner of Washington, "it would greatly expedite the tracing of their lost property." Having obtained such meager in formation as is available about a lost car theVpfficer in charge gets in touch with the various hundreds of call boxes thruout the city, instructing every policeman to watch out for such a machine. The same information -is then telephoned to all sheriffs and police stations within a radiusvof fifty miles, and telegraphed to all the large cities. At 'the ame time, all city garages and certain Out of town gar ages are notified, and a circular, con taining a description of the car, sent all -.over the country. The automo bile police detachment, consisting of three or four expert sleuths, who spend their days riding about the city on the lookout for stolen cars, put the new car on their list of the missing. The professional thief takes elabor ate measures to camouflage a car. Upon stealing one. he usually makes a. rapid dash for the nearest strip of isolated country, where he runs the machine into the woods. When It re appears it is a different vehicle in many respects. It bears different license tags; it has a new motor num ber; it may -be a new color, and in some cases it has a new type of body. A delivery wagon was stolen in Wash ington one day, and the next day it was recovered as a touring car. Having executed these rapid changes, the next step of the profes sional thief is to place the car on the market. It has often been noted by police authorities that the higher priced cars are seldom (stolen, and the Washington police believe that this is because they are harder to sell. The thief must have the appearance of wealth, in order to convince the pur chaser that he owns a car costing sev eral thousand dollars. But the lower priced cars are usually marketed with ease. Those of one make are disposed of with such slight difficultyand are afterwards so hard to trace, according to the police, that insurance compan ies thruout the middle west have recently refused to insure them against theft. Two men were arrested in New York not long ago who had stolen and successfully marketed over sixty cheap cars. Two years ago, moreover, when the jitney craze was at its height, two young men were arrested who had stolen thirty light cars, with which they purposed to start a Jitney line in a southern city. In this case all of the cars were recovered. That any kind of a car can be stolen was proved by an organized gang of automobile thieves, which operated In New York for a long time. One member of the organization acted as the selling agent. Whenever he re ceived an order for a certain make of car, he reported it to headquarters, and the gang went out and stole it. 1he stolen car was run Into an es tablishment, consisting of a couple of sheds. along the waterfront, where a couple of mechanics skillfully de stroyed the marks of its identity, and gave it a new one. The marketing of stolen cars is greatly facilitated by the fact that there are many persons who are only too willing, when the article is of fered at a low price, not to make any embarrassing inquiries. This is also true in regard to automobile acces sories, such as tires, tools and small parts The police recently arrested a man here, who had never attempted to steal a car, but specialized in tire stealing. He had stolen hundreds of tires, and his latest haul had been sold to the -manager of a tire concern for one-fourth its value. In recovering lost automobiles, the police are handicapped, first, by the incredible carelessness of the automo- bile owning public, which leaves its property unlocked or uses the street or the nearest vacant lot for a garage, and second, by the lack of effective laws. One of the most immediate requirements is a law now in opera tion in one or two states permitting the police authorities to confiscate every machine with an altered num ber, and hold it until ownership is proved. The reporting of every auto mobile and tiro sale, within twenty- four hours after its consummation, should-also be-compulsory, according to the police. New York and Phila delphia have recently adopted this regulation, with good results. It has also been suggested that ev ery automobile salesman be licensed by the local police department, and that the prospective purchaser de mand to see the license before buying a car. It is pointed out by Commis sioner Pullman that the licensing of cars should be more restricted. He believes that every licensing bureau should keep a record of automobile motor numbers, which should be con sulted every time a license is issued, or, if this is impractical, a policeman should be detailed to exaThjne every car whose owner applies for a license. Under the present circumstances, a man can obtain new state tags for a car that has already been licensed two of three times before. ape.

They seem contented just to live an' have God's sky above 'em, They battle with the wind an rain an' brave the winter's snow. But Just, ns soon as spring returns they start light In to grow. They're not like temperamental flowers that call for special care They give their blooms from day to day to all who wander there. They'll keep the ugliest corners of the yard an' moke tbcm bright. They'll grow in any sort o soil, an give the weeds a fight. They're Just like kindly peopTe In their habits sn' their ways. Who do their best for all mankind without a word of praise. You never have to coax an' plead with them for blossoms sweet. They're nodding at you all the time an' danciu' round yonr feet. Snapdragons never make a fuss, nor pinks nor hollyhocks. Yon never have to pamper the petunias an' phlox. -They're waitin" for yon In the yard Just like old friends an' true. Beady at any time o' day to give their charms to you. So while tbe fancy blooms are fine, by every mortal test I hold the good old-fashioned flowers are after all the best (Copyright 1819 by Edgar A. Guest) INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. For June S is, ""Obedience." Matt. 7:Zl-29. The Proof of Religion. It is remarkable what a ghastly separation people often manage to make between their religion and their life. Isor is it the persons of hypo critical intent in -whose thought and ife duty is divorced from devotion. There are many who make much of their religion, but it is crowded and clotted into the corner, leaving all the rest of their lives empty and unblesse'd by it. Many there are also who would like enough religion to keep .tnem classed among "the religious" and yet not enough to make real demands upon their time and attention; enough to secure for them the life eternal, but not enough in any wise to affect the life temporal. Then there are, undoubtedly, those who wear their religion as a mask. Jesus had seen such among the re ligious classes of His day the scribes the Pharisees and the Doctors of the Law. He said they looked well out wardly, but inwardly They were like whited sepulchres, wnicn are beautiful without, but within were full of dead men s bones and all unclean ness. The Message From the Monnt. In the Sermon on the Mount the great Teacher makes it plain that re ligion is eminently practical. It is not mere doctrine, it is duty. "Godli ness is profitable unto all things, hav ing promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. Obedience is the price of life. Jesus declared: "Not every one that saith unto me. Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is In heaven." The clear visioned Christ, the Ereat Searcher of the heart will distinguish. Not all the clamorous and self-complacent professors of orthodoxy- shall enter, however repeat edly, loudly and familiarly they call "Lord, Lord." The confession "Lord, Lord" is symbolic of a sound creed, as well as a religious profession. It is as much as to say that there are many who have an unhesitating belief in the doctrine of grace and of God, who nevertheless are not true disciples of Jesus. He demands a profession of his name, but those who offer only this, he will exclude and reject. Faith fulness as well as faith, is necessary to secure entrance into that realm of bliss where hia servants serve him with no divided allegiance.. The Times of Testing. So loyal -was Jesus to the spirit of truth,, and so indifferent to its out ward seeining,- that he early won for himself .the nameof heretic, and as such waS put to an ignominious death. Of coiirae,' he was orthodoxy itself, but he did npt square with the crooked little sticks which the priestly measures, tried to apply to him as standard. He had no zeal to conform to their, type of correctness, for he measured, himself arid -Me laid this down as'' a. principle for all hia dis ciples by the unchanging; will of the Father, arid by revelation of the great day of clear vision. j,As Jesus lived his own life serenely T5 the brightness of truth's .revealing, tso he taught that thare 4a a, day com ing when 'ail men's; characters shall be discovered,- and their judgment set tledcv. Doubtless there will be great consternation among many of the louftly professed followers of Christ. Astonished.-. and incredulous they will ramong-""Uie,j)eople as thy representa tives in the; world, preachers of the gospel? Have we;not cast out demons in thy name, and in thy- name done many wonderful works?" Up from the depths of a city's slums by way of a rescue mission, 'occasion ally comes -a dramatic, story of one whose life had in iits time stood high and shining, but who, for one cause or another, had "become a castaway. Of the thousands who applied to the Bowery Branch of the New York Y. M. C. A. for- relief work last year 25 per cent were college men. Once lead ers of men now needing to be lifted out of the gutter. How vividlv they illustrate the Master's teaching that no man is saved by his standing. ;Position in life, reputation, diplomas, useful ness none of these are sufficient to save in the crises of life, or in that other great-hour when the soul stands before its Maker for judgment. It is then that the thoughts of the heart must chord with the outward seeming in loving fidelity to the Christ whose friendship is life for two "world's. The thought is startling, but fully war ranted, that those from whom men might vote as the most .religious, may be found among the rejected before the Searcher of hearts. What 'Counts oil the Great Day. In the book of Matthew the Judg ment day Is depicted for us in the imagery of Christ seated upon the throne dividing the sheep from the goats. The sheep he places on his right hand and the goats upon his left. To those on his right hand he says: "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." "Inasmuch as ye have done It unto One of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." To those xn hia 'left hand he says: ""Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." "Inasmuch as ye, did it not unto one of the least of these ye did it not unto me." The great final test of religion Is not religiousness, but a relation; not. what have I done, not what have I believed, not what have I achieved, but what is my relation to Christ? So the great Teacher makes It plain that He will openly declare that He never knew these loud professors. He dismisses them with the simple com mand: "Depart from me ye workers of- iniquity." As unbelief departs from the loving God refuses to fol low, obey and love Him so unbeliev ers must forever depart from the pres ence of God, and from the gory of His power, "outcast." A Parable of Foundation and Floods. This whole mountainside sermon concludes with one of those exquisite parables whose pictorial beauty and spiritual insight, always remarkable, are in this case elevated into a strain of solemn grandeur and awful im- pressiveness. Jesus compared the- persons who hear and do His words to a man who built his housa upon a rock. "And the rains descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house: and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock." Those who heard His sayings and did them not He compared to a man who built his house upon sand. "And the rain descended, and the floods came and the winds blew, and smote -upon that house; and it fell; and great was the fall thereof." Every Jew could understand the simile. As in all hilly countries the streams pf Galilee rush down the tor rent-beds during the winter and early springv sweeping all before them, over flowing their banks, and leave beds of alluvial deposit on either side. When summer comes their waters tall, and what had seemed a goodly river is a tract covered with sand and pebbles. A stranger coming to build might be attracted by the level surface of the sand. It would be easy to build there. On such a house a w-inter torrent had swept down in its fury, and the storme had raged, and then the whole fabric, on which time and. money had been expended, had given way and fallen in a heap of ruins. When Storma Come. The lesson of the Lotd is easy to grasp. The wise man will hear, and when he hears, will do, that is, will translate his impressions into actions. This will be to build his house upon a rock. For rains, winds and floods do come Into every life and make it wise to build on a good foundation. We are all liable to afflictions, sudden fears and death; and the man whose hopes are at loose ends, and on a sandy foundation, may expect hia house to fall. This is the case of unconverted sinners. None are safe whose hopes are not built on the Rock of Ages. There is something very striking in the words with which Christ, con cluded his sermon. "It fell, and great was the fall of it- "After all," men would say, "it was only the destruc tion of one human being.'.' But our Lord's saying reminds us that in his eyes the ruin of one soul ia a consid eration full of unspeakable sorrow. Jesus, in his closing discourse, leaves his hearer under the impres sion of this solemn thought. Each of them, while listening to this last, word, might think he heard the crash of the falling house, and say within himself: "This disaster shall be mine if I prove hypocritical or inconsistent." T ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BT EOT K. MOULTON A Weird Error. Krueger misjudged Riggert's high infield fly and it went for base hit. From an evening paper's account of the game between the Braves and the Dodgers. This was probably one of the worst, if not the worst, of all errors ever made in a baseball game. We have been going to ball games for years, but have never seen, a misplay that could compare with this one. Just what Krueger did to that fly we don't know. He should have swatted it. But it is evident that he didn't. With one of the members of its team doing what Krueger did we can't for the life of us understand how Brooklyn managed to win the game. Louis Weslyn.

That afternoon, after my return home I felt happy at times because of my faith in Mr. Frederick: that -he would influence Nell to end his- In timacy with Tearle and men of his kind; unhappy at other times when I dwelt upon the fact that it had be come a necessity. About S o'clock the telephone rang. "This is Mr. Forbes's office. He wished me to. telephone Mrs. Forbes that he would not be home to dinner." "Is Mr. Forbes in the office?" I recognized the blonde stenographer's voice. "No, he went out with Mr. Tearle about half an hour ago." "Very well, thank you." Regardless of what Mr. Frederick had told him of Tearle's character and reputation, Neil had gone out with him. It seemed to be such a reckless thing to do. I. of course, did not rea lize that it isn't an easy thing to break off business relations at any time; that under certain circumstances it might be almost impossible to accomplish any great change in the personnel of a company quickly. So I dwelt upon the idea that Neil had decided to pay no attention to Mr. Frederick, to me. or to what he had been told othetsj were saying. That he haa neciaea to go along in the same way he had been going a law unto himself. I was the more distressed that he did not come home as his aunt had telegraphed while we were out to lunch that she would arrive on the midnight train. I called his club hoping to catch him there. They had not seen him. I tried one or two other places. He should meet hie aunt. It would-be dreadful for her to find no one at the station. -Finally I -gave up trying to locate him. I ate my dinner, then sat down with a new magazine and tried to read. He might come in any minute, I said to myself, knowing he would not. Of late he had remained out the entire evening and far into the night -when he had not dined at home. !Thc George Matthew Adams "COULD HAVE.". How often you hear the remark: "I could have done that myself!" But, of course, the one who makes that sort of remark never does any thing:. Those -who DO. offer no excuses, have no hiding places, care for no "pulls." They do the Job, not mind ing what the results, and pass along. Most certainly there are scores of things that you could have done yourself before somebody else went ahead and did them had you simply gone ahead and -done them.. Also, those who do. never boast about what they do. What they do, does that for them. The idle days never return. Wasted hours die harder than do the dead leaves that fall at autumn. I like that phrase about coming Into Port grandly! X 'tike to associate EVENING STORY Founded on Fact. BT PETER HOPE. x To the forty-odd children of adoles cent age Miss Graham, freshman Eng lish teacher in room 124 ot the Pea body high school, was the embodiment of wisdom, to tneir uniiuea minas, looking to the nearest pinnacle for a desirable coal. Miss Graham's knowl edge, ranging from an easy familiar ity with -Chaucer to unconscious free dom with dactylic verse, was indeesl the very highest rung on the ladder of education. But it was fortunate for the esti mable lady that these youthful men talities did not demand that so super ior a being dress in fashions of the minute, nor that even passing good looks were an accompanying requisite. For it must be admitted that while Miss Graham was a most excellent teacher of English, she was an abom inable dresser, and her straight hair combed straight back sent Mr. Strenly, sole male instructor at the scnoo;. scurrying many a morning to his gym nasium, where he worked his classes extra hard in an effort to eradicate the unpleasant impression. "For tomorrow's assignment," Miss Graham was saying in her usual dry, high-pitched sdprano on this balmy June afternoon toward the close of the summer semester, "each pupil will bring to class an original composition founded on fact. It need only be an incident, but it must be true, for any successful writerwill tell you that real Ism is the foundation of all fiction. I shall impose a penalty of forty lines of scansion upon thoee who fail to pro duce this evening's home work at to morrow's class," As was her habit after a long nsech. Misa Graham, crossing her I long, thin arms akimbo over her scant expanse. OI ooaorri hiiu muLnn lit iu. entire room with a single glance as if to detect some hidden culprit, asked: "Is there any point not clearly under stood T" As a rule the bulk of her instruction, couched in bookish language, sailed above the heads of her pupils who forebore availing themselves of her offer to further explain, as they had learned their questions resulted only in a repetition of instructions. But contrary to the usual habit, a miss oi fourteen, with twentieth century writ ten on her face in unsmistakable signs of powder shouting defiance to the un washed neck below, arose timidly from her seat. "Misa Graham," came in the self conscious voice of a child hearing it self in a room where whispering was a penal offense, "may the incident we tell e about love?" Miss Graham's arms sank limply to her side. It is not on record that any one had ever tried to determine Just how long ago she waa fourteen, but it is safe to surmise in that day love was not included in the public school cur riculum. There was difficulty in an swering this precocious pupil, and, of course, ignorance even of such a sub ject must not be admitted. "It ia only necessary for me to re peat," was the response in the metal lic tone of years' habit, "that the in cident upon whica your story is found ed be true." And fearing lest she be unable to PHELPS 'If he doesn't come I will go to the station," I said aloud. Then: "I won der if he is at Blanche Orton's." Just the thought made me so miserable the tears started. "Oh, what shall I do?" I felt that never was anyone so unhappy as I; that never waa a woman so anxious and worried. "If I didn't iove him so much!" I con tinued my soliloquy, "if I didn't it wouldn't be so hard to lose faith in him. I wonder if he does care for Blanche Orton, perhaps Mr. Freder ick Is mistaken about that. It doesn't seem as if he would go there so much if he isn't." I couldn't read, and finally threw down the book in diBgust. It was growing late. Shojld I try the club again? If Nell had not gone to Mrs. Orton's he might be there now. "Is Mr. Forbes in the house?" I asked when they answered. "Will you page him please so that I may bi sure. I will hold the wire." It seemed they would never come back to the telephone. After waiting an unconscionable time a voice said: "Hellti Mr. Forbes is not in the house." I hung up disgusted that I had waited so long. "I might have known ho wouldn't be there!' I scolded. I would wait until a little after eleven, then I would get ready and go to meet his aunt if he did not come in by that time. I started at every sound. There waa no use fooling myself. It was not the anxiety that he meet his aunt which caused me so much un easiness, it was the feeling that he was at Blanche Orton's. I was not at all timid. Even had he been at home I should probably have gone with him, so it was not disinclina tion to go out either which made me i. erv.ua It wa the fear tl.at he was with another woman; a fear which amounted almost to a sure knowl edge. If he had been with Mr. Frederick T shouldn't have cared, I said. After the clock had struck eleven I arose to prepare for my errand. It was strange how in every unhappy mo ment my thoughts flew to him. Was it because I knew he loved me?

And most of It can be done a reasonable part by YOU according to your will and ability. Mil m I answer further questioning-as safely. Misa Graham rang the gong for dis missal. As the children filed from ths room in an orderly line she dejeotedly sat down, elbows on the desk, with chin cupped in the hollow of her palms and .pressed her eyelids with the tips 6f hor long, lean fingers. "ilay the Incident we tell be about love?" scunded In her ears, and eyes tightly shut, again saw this glowing child Just entering girlhood asking permission to write about that which had somehow passed her by. ham, mentally. "No, not while mem- ory lasts." Loud voices of tbe moment as the boys wrangled over their "rnibs" and the less intelligible jimble of Jingles which time immemorial has associat ed with rope Jumping, came in thru the open windows on. the summer breeze. The setting sun, bathing the red walls of the school house in a. wilder- tone of blatant blood-red, aroused her from her reveries and sent her hurrying boarding house ward. The next arternosn, like every school afternoon preceding it, found the forty-odd pupils seated in their respective places, all eyes intent upon "teacher", and ears equally divided be tween pupil reading "homework" and whatever else there was of Immediate interest. The range of subjects, from "My Trip on a Houseboat" to "My First Party Dress,", found Miss, Gra ham professionally attentive, with an abnormal memory with respect to grammatical errors. But it was the romantic girl with her paper en titled "My Uncle's Love Story" which uruugut tne juvuei instructor rigiu attention. nnai was it mis cxuiu was saying? The voice, not yet decided whether it would be soprano, or alto, rose and fell in dramatic cadences. "And my uncle loved this pretty lady very much, and the lady loved my uncle. But one day they had an awful quarrel and the pretty lady sent my uncle away mad." Surely this was not the' Miss Gra ham of but a moment before? Was this woman standing back ef her chair tilted perilously forward, the same composed automaton ot years' habit? The child continued in words un consciously plagiarised. "And pride kept them apart. Altho my uncle cared a great, deal for his sweetheart, he would not admit he was wrong, nor would the lady. And as the years passed by they lost track of one an other." The child paused in the rapid read ing to catch breath. "But my uncle could never marry another," she went on, her brow fur rowing as she found difficulty In de ciphering her own script, "because he loved only this girl. He always says he knows she is waiting for him, too. And he prays every night that some fine day they will meet again." The child sat down and was Im mediately followed by a stuttering lad who in his efforts to tell ef "My Dog spitz- aivertea attention from tno tears welling in the eyes of their in structor. After school the authoress of "My Uncle's Love Story" was a very proud little girl as she imparted to her bosom pals Miss Graham's self-lnvitatlon -.o her home that evening. "And," she went on in a theatrical manner at the unusual opportunity that gave her the center of the stage, "she asked me my uncle's name. And when I said 'Robert Devon,' she added with a grandiloquent sweep ef h er arm, "I thought she would faint." But of no, less interest .was thet scene enacted tho following morning for the edification of this same audience with the addition ef Mr. Strenly, Just en tering the courtyard on his way to the gymnasium. "You, Sarah, will be my Uncle Rob ert and I'll be Miss Graham." Mr. Strenly stopped. The super swaggered up, holding Imaginary skirts in one hand whlla with the other she pointed dramati cally. "Bob," she shrilled, coming on Sarah, to the danger of Sarah's equi librium. Mr. Strenly listened. "Now you must say," waa the whis pered prompting, 'To find you after all these years, my-dear." Mr. Strenly stared in open-mouth amazement And when the words had ben prop erly repeated, Sarah was the recipient of a loud kiss. ;"Just like they did," was the announcement by way of a finale. "Did you ever!" ejaculated Mr. Strenly. (Copyright, 1019. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)

THE TOPEKA DATLY STATE JOUPMAL FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 6, 1919 5 NO ACCIDENT WEEK feanta 'e In Appeal to Kmployes for Co-operation. Railroads under federal control, comprising the central western r fcion, have set aside the week of June 2 J -2 8, inclusive, as a "No Accident Week." During that week the 350,000 rail road men employed in this region will be asked to, in every poesible way, guard against injury, will be asked to have in their make-up jusi a little more of the milk of human kindness, to be actuated by somewhat different motives and strive for a higher ideal than ever before and it is to be hoped will be conscientiously and wholeheartedly striving to aviod an injury that might bring physical suffering to themselves or fellow workmen or carry a sorrow into their homes. Few people outside of railroad serv ice know of the constructive, effective safety work being carried on today; as evidence of Its accomplishment be It noted that in the central western region alone, during the first three months of 1919, there were ninety fewer killed and 1,050 fewer injured thnn 1ft same period last year. The Santa Fe says in its appeal for the individual co-operation of the em ployes: "The commodity we are try ing to sell is happiness, the price of it is merely an effort to do the right, the square thins;; we will take an as surance of one's good intentions as the first payment, and promise larger and more lasting dividends than are possible from any other investment." It occurs to this paper that the period set apart by the railroads as a "No Accident Week' might properly and profitably be similarly observed by the general public; if parents would beprin that week to keep their children from making a playground out of the public streets; if drivers of automobiles might begin to show some recard for the rights of others, drive more safely and sanely, and be gin to show some appreciation of the dangers lurking at public grade cross ings, etc., it would be a history mak ing week for this entire region. MIDLAND SCHOOL TO NEBRASKA Lutherans to Raise Fund Removing Atchison College. Atchison, June 6. Midland college probably will cease to be a Kansas institution July 1 5, when it will be moved to Fremont, Neb., according to a tentative decision reached by the board of trustees here this after noon. The decision is contingent upon a condition that the Nebraska Luth eran synods bidding for the college raise $50,000 to finish paying for the Fremont normal school plant, pledge $100,000 in bankable notes and have reasonable assurance of raising an other $160,000 by July 15. The board of trustees will have a meeting on that date and final action upon re moval of the college will be taken at that time. Ir. C. E. Stauffer, of Lawrence, was elected president of Midland col lege by the directors yesterday after noon. Lewis P. Bangs, of Kmporia, was elected president of the board of trustees. The Rev. Paul Mennenoeh, of Kureka, Kan., was elected secretary of the board, and C. T. Patterson, of Atchison, treasurer. Dr. C. B. Har mond, of Omaha, was elected to mem bership on th board.

The teeth in Tillie's head were described by the county physi cian aS useless and worn out. "I am perfectly willing for Tillie to get the teeth." said A. A. ftodfsers, chairman of the board of commis sioners. "But I want to.be sure they are good tefth this rime. I'll stand for the expense but I want a guaran tee." So Tillie. prize bread baker at the county farm for fourteen years, will be in Topeka tomorrow for a new set of teeth.

They are going against the most unfavorable conditions they have yet been called on to meet and are scheduled to do a lot of traveling be fore they again see the welcome sign on the Polo grounds doormat. If they are to do any cracking, chances are they will do it real quick and get their pennant worry out of their system.
