German disregard Of the rules Of CIV
lized warfare is suggested by the
Weekly Spectator in its current issue.
The Spectator says:
I'VE cannot ask President Wilson or
the American government to appoint
such a committee of inquiry. They
would naturally be afraid Of annoying
the German government by SO doing
and of imperiling that strict, nay
anxious, neutrality which they desire
to maintain in the case of the German
empire
I'VE do not see however, why the
French, British and Belgian governments
should not privately invite three Ameri-
can jurists OF high distinction to under
take the work of discovering whether the
Germans are respecting the agreement
made at The Hague in 1899 and 1907. and
also those rules of civilized warfare
which generally are respected by bellig-
erents and to report whether any in
Engagements of these conventions and
these rules have been made by military
order, or whether such cases of inhuman-
ity as have taken place were due merely
to the soldiery having got out Of hand.
and that the responsible officers did their
best, even II ineffectively, to check the
unauthorized action. President Wilson
could hardly forbid Americans to conduct
such an inquiry"

what is styled 1.-The menace Of Ger
man militarism' is crushed.
The earlier impatience Of the British
public for news from the front seems now
to be more less reconciled to the en-
forced necessity of awaiting the official
bulletins given out by the press bureau.
Dispatches from Berlin say that the Ger
man public has been without actual news
OF the situation in the western area Of
the war for two weeks.
There was nothing today to indicate
that change in the situation in the east
ern zone. Presumably the armies Of
Austria are still trying to unite at Cracow
while the Russian army under General
Rennenkampf Is holding the Germans at
bay along the frontier of Poland.
While public opinion and the press in
Italy and Rumania are apparently still
in the dark as to the course these nations
will pursue as the struggle continues, a
semf-onicial assurance came from Dem
mark today from the newspaper Politikeu
that the country would remain firm IN

stan officer who has been on the scene
of the operations and which is author
lied by the British war Office, gives de-
tails OF the actions closing with the
crossing OF the Aisne. but only the
most meagre communications have been
issued concerning the fighting of the
last two lays. Roughly speaking the
line Of advance Of the allies is threaded
by rivers, four of which have already
been crossed.
The crossing Of the Marine, marking
the assumption Of the aggressive by the
allies was purely rear guard action
in which General Won Kluck cleverly
flarked. So far as the British were
concerned the passage Of the Oucq was
not contested. The Vesle was only
lightly defended by the Germans, while
as is now well known the resistance on
the Aisne was and still is Of the most
stubborn character on both sides.
Germany's Side of 1t.
Berlin. Sept. 18.-The following Of
ficial announcement was made at the
evening Of September II:
mo decision yet has resulted in the
battle between Disc and the Meuse, but
certain signs indicate that the power
The endeavor Of the French troops to
break through the German right wing
collapsed without any great efforts on
the part of our troops.
1.-THE center Of the German army is
gaining ground slowly, but surely.
ION the right bank of the Meuse the
allies from Verdun have been easily
repulsed."
Fight in the Rain.
Paris, Sept. 1S.-''The battle con-
tinues. Our lines hold everywhere"
That was the comment at military
headquarters today. 1t indicated that
no change had taken place and that
the allied armies were still unable to
make any serious impression on the
new German defense lines stretching
almost across northern France.
With practically no rest the fighting
goes on. 1t is still raining hard but
despite that fact there has been no
let-up in the action. The fighting is
especially desperate on the left wing
where the armies Of Generals Won
Kluck and Buelow have been COM
PEELED to extend their right in order
to Meet a fanking movement in force.
No news of the outcome at this point
is as yet available but the military
experts believe the significant devel-
opment may soon be reported there.
Because Of the extreme importance
of the present battle, the third great
struggle since the war began, officials
are chary of expressing their opinions.
They are hopeful at General Gallieni's
headquarters but 1t is realized that the
slightest misstep would result in seri-
Gus consequences and no comment is
made which might afford the enemy
any line on the exact location or
strength Of the French frontal forces.

President Wilson today declined to re-

by the Belgian commission against the
German army: The president took the
position that he had already refused to

Cuss the war with him and the messages
of the German-Americans were not OF

Murphy has returned to Topeka after
= ten day visit in the national capital
and brought to his party workers the
assurance that Kansas would receive a

campaign.
In the next few weeks, Kansas vot-
ers will hear number of speeches

Burleson. Bryan will come to Kan

will be provided for his trip.

s'They feel that Medley can be elected
and will fight for his success. Almost
equal interest is felt by the national
administration in the reelection of
Governor Hodges as an evidence of
confidence in the national administra-
ton. For that reason some Of the
best speakers in the nation will come
to Kansas to help in the fight.
"President Wilson will not come to
the state this year. In fact, in view Of
the recent misfortune in the White
House on account Of the death Of the
presidents wife, it is quite probable
that the executive will not speak dur

Declaration Of 1919.
Ugh! How He Hated the g. @,
r. Two Years Ago!
IT'S Different STORY NOW
Old Declarations Apparently
Are Forgotten.
Independence Recalls Speech
He Made Down There.

1noepeu0euce, kan.s Sept. 1S.-Ar-
thur Capper's real political affiliations
in the 1914 campaign is q matter of
much concern to people who heard
the Topeka publishers speech before
the Progressive party organization
Dec. 4, 1912. In the campaign two
years ago Capper labeled himself a
Progressive Republican," later he
vas Progressive" and battling for
the Lord" This year he is q "Re-
publican" And the several stands
have aroused the suspicious Of both
Republicans and Progressives that
after all he may be with the other
crowd.
Here Is the speech In part. as it
was printed in tho Independence
newspapers at the time and from .
copy furnished by Mr.. Capper himself:
His Speech in 1912.
II am here to wish you Progressives
of Montgomery county Godspeed in
your great work and to promise you
and the Progressives Of the state at
large my most earnest cooperation.
We are told every day that this is a
flash In the pan. passing craze, a
movement Of 'soreheads' that will be
forgotten tomorrow; But you know
gathering here tonight gives the lie to
that You know that the men and,
God bless them, the women who are
in this movement for the publication

not swayed by sudden passion. not
moved by Whims.
you know the intense earnestness
OF those devoted souls and you know
the high resolve that animates them.
Patrick Henry or Thomas Jefferson or
John Adams or any Of the patriots
of '76 could turn back. They can no
more forget this cause than Phillips
or Garrison or Brown or Lincoln or
any Of the men of the eos could for
get the cause Of liberty and the Union.

heaval, no passing fad. 1t is indeed a
battle for the Lord The little children

struggling mechanic. the shopkeeper;
the people who make America look to us

them.

pose, the wisdom and the courage that
the task demands believe in the

settle the great questions Of govern
ment now pressing Tor solution and
will settle them right, but If we are

our eyes to the fact that the battle
for the peoples rights only has just
begun"
. Now Montgomery county Progressives
are wondering whether Mr.. Cspper's
prayer for strength of purpose. the
wisdom and courage that the task de-
mands," was not answered. or whether
after all Mr.. Capper was merely laying
the ground plan 70 gather unto himself
the Progressive votes in the 1914 cam
paign. And the old-line Republicans
who read Capper's speech wonder
whether he vas sincere in Independence
or when re made his alliance with Jo-
seDh L. Bristow, forgot his share Of the
contract and chose to support for cleo
ton the candidates who openly fought
