COMES TO ELLINWOOD.
German-American Alliance State
Convention To Be Held in
Barton County Next
Year.

Fred Zutavern, Fred Witte,
Louis Fleischer and Will Hiss, of
this city, and Nick Klepper, Joe
Strothman and Henry Gerloff, OF
EIlinwood, returned home Tues
day evening after attending the
state convention of the German
American Alliance, which was
held in Frontenac, in the south
east corner of the state. The
boys report a large attendance
at the meeting, despite The fact
that the convention was held
away off in one corner of the
state and the railroad connec-
tionS to the meeting place were
very bad, and say that they en-
ioyed a fine time every minute
of the three days session. Al
though Frontenac and about all of
that corner of the state is peo-
pied with people of almost every
nationality on earth, being located
| in the heart of the mining region,
yet the visitors say they never
saw the least bit of disturbance
in any way during their stay,
never saw a drunk man, and they
say that the people of the COM
munity, regardless of their ma
tionality, seem to be a pretty good
sort.
Through the work OF the men
bers of the order in this county,
ElIinwood was designated as the
meeting place of The state conven'
ton for next year, and on account
of its location, and the ease with
which it can be reached from al
parts of the state, it is expecteC
that the largest gathering which
has ever been held since the or
sanization> of The society in tn,
state, will convene in our neigh
boring city next September. Tn
people of Ellinwood can he count
ed upon 10 entertain the visitor
: royalty and show them the tim
2 of their lives, and they are to b
congratulated on securing thi
big state gathering.

.ROETzEL SAYS WAR IS OVER.
$Nothing Remains but the Settle.
ment," Says Former Barton
County Man.

The following from the Wich-
ita Eagle of the 9th, gives the
views. of H. J. RoetzeI, now of that
city, but formerly a prominent
citizen of this county, regarding
the war now going on in Europe:
War is over; nothing remains
but the settlement" said H. ].
Roetzel, former city commission
er and incidentally pretty much
German, last night. From the
meager press reports we have re-
ceived in this country conclude
that Paris is surrounded, that Ger
man armies have broken through
the lines of allies and are at the
very gates of Paris. When the
armies guarding Paris are cut off
from one another, Paris will fall.
Another thing-the French gov
ernment has been for several days
at Bordeaux. This means that
the capital is in danger of invest
ment by the German armies. Our
government would not dream of
transferring the capital from Wash
lngtOn unless confronted by the
direSt peril and it is fair to as
sumo that the French feel the
same way about leaving Paris.
,o The war of 1914 will not be
settled as was that of 1870, when
Paris was starved into Submis-
sion. This time Germany will
give the nOn-participantS a GER
tain number of days to leave
Paris and will then destroy OF
force the surrender of that strong
hold. To do this the Zepplin
fleets will be called into action
Paris will be destroyed from the
air! If any Americans are killed
IN that bOmbardment, our govern.
ment will have no reason to life
its voice in protest. Sufficient
time will have been given so thai
all wishing to do so could leave
Paris, those remaining doing so a
their own risk.
IF the armies of Germany have
advanced to Paris, they must Ger
.tainly have destroyed the French
and English armies. If the French
and English armies are no more
the war is over.
But people have said to me
What of Russia? While Paris i
being taken, Berlin will also fall
Those. people know nothing O
the.Spirit which actuateS German,
in this war. They know nothing
OF the difference between the way
the Russians fight and the wa!
Germans fight. Germany need,
no trained troops to defeat the in
vading Russians. The old mel
and old women of the country cal
do that"
Kaiser Wilhelm has been blam
ed by most of the American pres
for the war which is now Shakin
Europe but it is unjust to throV
all the blame on his shoulders
says Mr.. Roetzel. Every German
cried out for war, the Kaiser haI
ing as little to do with the poSi
tion taken by his country as an
American, according to Mr.. Roe
gel.
"The English have always hel
themselves great people," sal
he. "They have always posed 81
but they have always let the ott
erS do their fighting. Before thi
war is over, France will loath he
ally because the latter has NJ
done her share"

FRATERNAL CITIZENS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING.

The Kansas Fraternal Citizens,
while one of the new Fraternal
insurance orders of the state, is
also one of the best and they have
been enjoying a substantial
growth ever since their Organiza-
ton The local lodge of this city
is one of the strongest of the state
and its growth has been a remark
able one, and its officers and
members are deserving of credit
for the excellent showing they
have made. The company is a
strictly Kansas concern, and on
account of the healthfulneSS of
the state, their death loss is much
less than that of other companies
whose territory covers a much
wider area. The following letter
from the office of the State Su-
perintendent of Insurance to the
state secretary of the FraternaI
Citizens, shows that the company
is very highly regarded by the
state insurance department. The
letter is as follows:

Daubert Narrowly
Escapes Missing Ii

NEW YORK. April 15.-Jake Dau-
bert, captain and first baseman of The
Brooklyn team, came near being miss
ed from the Dodgers lineup yesterday
against the Braves in the opening
game. The great first baseman was
summoned to court for playing BAN last
Sunday, and yesterday morning when
the case came before Magistrate Rey-
Eolds Daubert was not on hand.
Magistrate Reynolds was about 10
order the arrest of Daubert, when
Michael J. Grady, attorney for Jake,
said that there was some mistake, and
Immediately got in touch with the first
baseman over the phone. Daubert hur-
ried TO court in his auto and appeared
before the magistrate. He was held in
500 bail for violation OF the Sunday
law. A bondsman could not be found
and MAGISTRATE Reynolds paroled the
player until this morning.

for an easy start until his people got

The A. l.. schedule has played no in
considerable part in arranging Chances
new destiny.
Each season, with a young, untried
lineup, he has been forced to spend
that first important month battling with
Philadelphia, Washington and Boston
the three hardest clubs in the circuit to
beat. Last season against these three
clubs the Yanks won seventeen games
and lost forty-seven-the official per-
centage being .265.
Against the other four clubs-Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland and ST Louis-they
won forty games and lost forty-seven-
percentage 400 Which is quite a differ
ence- The first month is an important
one to a young club as it either de-
stroys or inspires confidence, which is
a big part Of any clubs play. So, from
the above statistics. the odds Chance
is facing can be easily seen.
For the fanatic who sits in the look
out there are a certain number of high
spots TO lamp in the early stages OF
the conflict which will have an import
ant bearing upon the two races. For
example:
What effect forty years and eighteen
campaigns will have upon Hans Wag-
ner?
What effect thlrty-nine years and
eighteen campaigns will have upon Ma
pOleon Lajoie?
What form Joe Wood will assume af-
ter long layoff last season, and a COM
plete separation from his appendix?
What assistance Ed Walsh will be
able TO furnish Russell. Cicotte and
Scott?
What machine morale Hank O'Day
will be able to instill into the Cubs?
How GTiff's new pitchers will be able
to help out johnson and Boehling?
Whether Honey, Mowrey and Harmon
will more than supplant Robinson, Will
son. Butler and Miller?
How well McGraw has been able to
plug that gap at third with both Shafer
and HeTzog missing.
