Battery A Is in Danger of Being
Mustered Out of Service.
City Must Help in So, 900 Neces-
sary Expenses.
BRINGS MUCH HERE.
Probably $500 a Month in Adj
ditiOnal Salaries.
Also $4,000 in Equipment
From Uncle Sam.
BRINGS MUCH HERE.

If Topeka comes to the aid of bat
terry A, field artillery. Kansas National
guard, and is successful in keeping this
strong organization of nearly 100 men
in the city and If congress passes the
national guard pay bill, more than $500
a month or $4,000 year will be paid to
members of the battery in this city.
Not only will the government turn this
amount into Topeka but artillery equip
ment amounting to $4,000 will be sent
here at once.
This is the situation that faces the
patriotic people of the city at this time.
Battery A is one Of the best organized
and best equipped batteries in the coun-
try and is the only one of it's kind in
Kansas.
But since the state only allows $1,000
a year to the battery for expenses it
is found that a deficit will befall the
officers and men to such an extent that
it may be necessary to muster out. To
muster out would lose Topeka an or
ganization of which to be proud-to say
nothing of losing $S5 900 worth of field

equipment and thousands of dollars a
year in salaries.
Upon condition that battery A is able
to meet it's expenses and maintain it's
organization Uncle Sam has promised
to send equipment amounting to the
value of $4,000. This includes four
field three-inch rapid fire guns, six
caissons, harness for 60 horses, forge
and kit wagons and field telephone
equipment.
Battery A in Topeka has been es-
tablished for 80 years. 1t has been one
of the real military batteries in this
country and it is composed of trained
experienced men. 1t has policed the
gency. 1t has participated in parades
of all kinds. And if by chance a To-
pekan should detect an army of Japs
swarming over Burnetts Mound the
Topeka battery with its new rapid
| fire guns and it's practiced artillery

| Washburn college and the capital city
| Of Kansas.
| The entire three-story building, 50x100
! feet, constitutes the armory on Jackson
| street. Three floors and a basement
| are used by the battery and officers.
| In the basement storage is made. Also
a pistol gallery. On the first floor

On the second floor office headquarters
of the battery, headquarters of the Of

The rent of this building alone il
1880 a year. Incidental expenses
amount to $500 annually. Now the bat
terry officers are as anxious to stay in
! Topeka as the people want them and
tney have started subscription papers.
In the last few years the officers have
taken money out of their own pockets
to defray expenses. This year they
want g 900 from the people of Topeka
in order to obtain government advant-
ages and offers. About $3.50 has been
subscribed.
\ When this new equipment arrives the
government demands a caretaker-a
mach1nist who must be hired to attend
to the armory. This will cost small
sum.
The battery has placed it up to the
city of Topeka.
