IN GUARDS TOURNEY
Police and Regulars Will Aid
in Success of Big Military
Fete This Week.
REAL THRILLS PROMISED

Principally TO show that military pre-
paredness Is MOI something that a be
evolved over night but can only he had

hardest Kind OF work. the National
Guard OF New York, assisted by Uncle
Sans regular forces and the mounted
police OF the city. will hold q military
tournament in Madison Square Garden
all of this week beginning tomorrow
night.
A secondary reason for the tourna-
ment is the ambition OF tho National
Guard to convince the public that the
militiaman OF to-day IL not I creature
Of gold lace and tinsel. good only for
parades and sham battles" but Is a
scientifically trained, mentally and
physically conditioned soldier who
stands ready for any job that his State
or country calls him to-a soldier who
has no time to play and who does a lot
Of work that the nan on the street
never hears about.
Promises of Thrilis.
For these reasons and others almost

under whose direction the tournament
IL 20 he held. has prepared n programme
OF events and exercises which promises

p~aredness. There will be n performance
every night, beginning tomorrow night,

BATTLE I'll IN. AFRICA.
Berlin Reports Victory, Over the
British Forces.

Berlin, April 2O.-Among the items
given out for publication today by the
Overseas News agency were the fol-
lowing:
Special mail reports from East
Africa state that in a two days battle
German troops near Pangani routed a
strong force landed from British cruz
sers and transports. The British lost
700 men, among them four companies
captured, besides many rifles and
large stores of ammunition. The Ger
man casualties were seven officers and
1 8 men killed; IA officers and % men
wounded.
1.-The National Tidende" of Copen-
hagen again asserts that German Of
ficers in Belgium are discouraged with
the results of their administration. 1t
is officially stated, however, that the
contrary is true. The military govern
ment is supplying Belgian farmers
with seed potatoes and oats with the
understanding that the same quanti-
ties shall be returned in the fall after
the harvest.
Eight victims of the last French
aeroplane attack of Freiburg were
buried at the city's expense, the entire
population participating in the service.
Berlin school children sent a tele-
gram of coincidence to relatives of the
school children killed at Freiburg."

SHOW AT EMPORIA
Kansas Child Hygiene Display
May 5, 6 and z.
Club Women in Session May
Appeal for Fund.

The Kansas child hygiene display
will be exhibited for the first time at
Emporia in May. DR.. S. J. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board of health,
has announced that the display will be
taken to the Lyon county seat for dis
play purposes during the meeting of
the state federation of women's clubs,
May 5-6-7.
Unusual interest has been taken in
the child hygiene department since
the state officially recognized the
But the appropriation seems to be
largely joke. One of the child well
fare planks of the Kansas politicians
and a campaign argument of Governor
Capper, the appropriation was reduced
to $1,000, barely enough to keep the
department alive. Now the women
who have promoted the work are
looking for independent funds that
they may accomplish that which the
state refused to do.
At the Emporia meeting, Kansas
club women will be appealed to for
funds Each of the eight congression-
al districts, or divisions, will be asked
to contribute for the employment of
one or more trained nurses to carry on
the child welfare work. There is not
enough state money available to do
the work and if the campaign contem-
plated is to be made a success, the
women themselves must pay a portion
of the bills.
In order to arouse interest in the
work the hygiene exhibit will be dis
played at the Enporia meeting. If
sufficient funds are pledged, the by
giene department will undertake to
lature made a nfggardly and insuffi-
cient APPROXIMATION.

Women of France Seek to Erase
Their Reputation.
Campaign to Tell World OF
Their True Sincerity.
French Claim Enemy Has
Ruined Their Character.
Would Be Worthy of Men Who
Die for Them.

Paris Apri. 2O.-The world is to
know at least that the French woman
of today is not mere creature or
pleasure, of quotry, and of per-
dition."
This is the decision just taken by a
committee composed of the leading
women of France. Among its mem
bers are Madame Raymond Po1ncare,
wife of the president; Madame AL
phonse Daudet wife of the great writ
er; Madame Rene Viviani, wife of the
prime minister; Madame Delcasse,
wife of the minister of foreign affairs;
Madame Camille Flammarion, wife of
the great French astronomer; Madame
Victor Augagneur, wife of the minister
of marine; Madame Juliette Adam;
the Marquise of Ganay; Countess
Greffuhle, the Duchess of Mes and a
dozen others whose names are equally
prominent,
A worldwide crusade on behalf of
the good reputation of the French
women is to be begun at once. The
world at large is to be taught that she
is all that a woman should be, and
especially the neutral nations in the
present war are to be taught to love
and respect her. For the crusade is a
direct outcome of the war.
With their husbands, brothers, faith
ers and sons dying in the trenches for
ia patrie" the women of France de-
clare they have been stung to the
quick by the impression spread abroad
that they are unworthy of the men
who are thus nobly dying for France.
This impression, they declare, is
nothing less than a part of the cam
paign which Germany has carried on
the world over to the detriment of
France. Especially they insist have
the Germans sought everywhere to
instill the ideas that the French wom-
an of today is mere "being of light
ness and decadence.
In support of these charges against
the Germans, the women of the COM
mittee have elected a vast quantity of
literature diffused, they insist, by Ger
MANY in all parts of the world. News
agencies, subsidized newspapers, cor
respondents, pamphlet writer's and
even private correspondence are few
of the means they insist Garmany has
employed to this end.

sas 354,596 policies-or an average of
a little more than one insurance policy

amount of life insurance carried by
Kansans totaled S131,651,610. Dur
ing the year, premiums in the amount
of $7,47S,272 were collected by the

amounted to $2,032143, with claims
outstanding amounting to $129,921.
Between Local and Foreign Firms.
Reports on fire, marine, hail and
tornado insurance are divided among
local or American companies and
foreign companies organized in anoth-
er country. The bulk of the business
was done by the local companies al
though the earnings and losses aver
age about the same per cent on Kan
saS risks.
Total fire risks of s31s,512,9O2 were
carried and $2,334,63 was paid in
losses from $3,761, 124 received in pre-
miums. Local companies wrote $274,-

Both American and foreign COM
panies made big profits on fire and

Rated as the birthplace of tornadoes
and storms, the combined report on
tornado risks was 5,592,194. Yet
wind storm losses last year amounted
to but sSS,34S from total premiums of
$60O,775.
Most of the hail storms are also at

easterner with an accute imagination.
Last year various companies wrote a
total of $10,S09,024 in hail insurance
in this state and paid for losses only
