What They Are Fighting For,

In the earlier months of the war
there were many who honestly doubted,
aside from the duty Of Britain to raise
its arms against the violation Of Bel
GUM, whether the Allies had any real
ly sound reasons for entering the war.
But as the months have passed, doubts
as to what the Allies are fighting for
have been swept away They are fight
ing for humanity against that Pru:-
sianism which has betrayed not only
the..world outside of It's own boundar-
les, but also it's own civilization.
No place IN the world except, per-
haps, the ice-hound expenses of the
poles are free today from the intrigues
and the criminal efforts of the agents
of Prussianism. The slaughter of
American non-combatants, the burn
ny of American factories and ships
such things as these. of which the pub.
lie has learned through the, newspa-
pers, represent only part of the ac-
tivities of these who, while using our
neutrality to cover the crime on bc-
half of Prussianism.
History may or may not reveal the
Vaccinations which, in the name OF
Prussianism. have sought to embarass
the American Cover ment. Toda,
there are pouring in on the President
threats of death or bodily injury; each
day there come to the attention OF
Government agents new evidences Of
criminal activity against the Americon
State and against American lives and
property.
We say that Prussanism has betray-
ed its own civilization. When Prus-
sianism is finally destroyed and the
people of Germany and of Aust ia.
Hungary can at last have their eyes
opened to the light of truth, they will
realize-for they are human-that the
best friend they have had on earth is
that neutral nation whose government
and people Prussianism is seeking by
almost every conceivable criminal de-
vice to- insult and to iDjure. = Financial

The Junction Again.

These little pleasantries occur
in recent issues of the country
press:
We hear it stated that the 3. & o.
has painted the station at Shenandoah
Junction. We knew the B. & O. was
being misjudged and would do some
thing at the Junction after awhile.
The B. & O. is a great railroad. Page

The News fails to give full honor to
the railroads. The lamp chimneys at
the junction were also cleaned. Shep-
herdstown Register.
While the directors of the two
great railroad systems which are
responsible for the disgraceful
conditions at Shenandoah juno
ton, are, quite properly, con-
graduating themselves on the
prosperity of their systems, as
recorded by their October net
earnings, they might ponder
whether it is worth while, to save
few hundred dollars, to subject
their defenseless patrons to.treat-
ment which they would be the
first to resent if their own fami-
lies were to suffer like humilia-
ton.
Then too, the. fact that they
are law breakers, directly violat-
ing the statutes of West Virginia
every day-in failing to provide
toilet conveniences-might tenn
per their publications.
And meanwhile the people al

seem to have "buffaloed," the

"BabY Barrel" For Apples.

caps of the proper size can be procured
from any of the supply houses for this
barrelette. The coopers charge some
thing more than half the price of the
standard size, but say they can reduce

warrants its manufacture. The Vir.

"A Remarkable Parallel

In debating the foreign policy
of Washington in the House of
Commons, more than a hundred
and twenty years ago, Charles
James Fox, AMERICAS best friend
in the English Parliament, voiced
these sentiments:
How infinitely superior must appear
: the spirit and principles of General
Washington in his late address to Con-
gress compared with the policy Of mod
ern European courts! Illustrious mani
deriving honor less from the splendor
Of his sitnati)n than from the dignity
of his mind. Grateful to France for
the assistance received from her in
that great contest which secured the
ind 'pendence of America. he yet did not
>Shooss to give up the system Of neu
trality in her favor; having once laid
down the line of conduct NEST proper
To be pursued not all the insults and
provocatinns of the French minister,
Genet, could at all put him out of his
way and bend him from his purpose.
How did he act when insulted by
Genet? Did he consider it as rleces-
sary to aveDge himself for the miscon-
duct or madness of an individual, by
involving whole continent IN the hor
rors of war? No; he contented him
self with procuring satisfaction for the
insult, by causing Genet to be recalled
and thus at once consulted his own dig
nifty and the interests of his country.
Happy Americana! While the whlrl-
wind flies over one quarter of the
globe, and spreads everywhere desola-
lation, GU remain protected from its
baneful effects by your own virtues.
and the wisdom of your government.
Separated from Europe by an inn
mense ocean, you feel not the effect of
those prejudices and passions which
convert the boasted seats of ciyiliza
ito into scenes of horror and blood
shed. You profit by the folly and mad
ness of the contending nations, and
afford, in your more congenial cline,
an asylum to those blessings and vir-
tues which they wantonly contemn, or
wickedly exclude from their bosom!
Cultivating the arts of peace under
the Influence of freedom, you advance
by rapid strides, to opulence and dis
tinction; ard if, by any accident, you
should be compelled to take part in
the present unhappy contest-if you
should find it necessary to avenge in
suit, or repel injury-the world will
bear witness to the equity of your SEN
timents and the moderation of your
views; and the success of your arms
will, no doubt, be proportional to the
justice of your cause!
Could not this speech be repeat
ed in the coming session of Con-
gress and be found opposite to
existing international relations?
Her severest critics c.annot
charge the United States with in
consistency in carrying out her
policy of neutrality, without fear
or favor.

LAST HOME GAME TOMORROW.

Tomorrow will be the last chance
Topeka football followers will
have to see the Washburn Icha-
bods perform at home. And with
the Aggies as opponents, the per-
Torrance should be well worth the
seeing.
1t is true the Ichabods have not
had a very successful season, and
they have been taking the short
end of the scores pretty consist
emily. But both the team and
coach have been working under
great handicaps all season, and the
wonder is that they have made as
good showing as they have.
Certainly the game fight they have
made deserves liberal support at
the last home game of the season.
Fridays game will begin at 8
o'clock. The Aggies will be on
hand a trainload strong. Visiting
school teachers are especially in
.vited to attend.

FED MEETING ADJOURNED.
Peace in Baseball World Is Again a
Faint Hope"


Faint HOpe.''
French Lick, Ind, Nov. 11.-Federal
league magnates deserted French Lick
complished here toward ending the
baseball war, peace is as far away as
ever
President Gilmore said that serious
differences between representatives of
organized baseball and his league had
delayed indefinitely the arrival of
peace and he reiterated his declaration
of the Federal leagues intention to
place the franchise forfeited by Kan
sas City in New York and it's deter
mination to go through another season
as an independent organization I'M
less terms of agreement could be
reached before spring. Buffalo prob
ably would retain it's franchise, he
said, but that had not been finally
determined.
So far as could be learned there was
no meeting here between members of
the rival factions that had any bearing
on the war. Colonel Rupert, of the
conversed with Federal league repre-
sentatives, did not discuss any plans
of peace or war, and if Barney Drey-
fuss, of the Pittsburg National league
club was here, the magnates of the
Federal league did not see him, they
said. President Gilmore, w. E. Rob
ertson, of the Buffalo club, and Ed
ward Galliner, of the Pittsburg Fed
erals, left for Chicago, and the others
left during the day.
Differences which preclude the pos
sibility of early peace consist of more
than the price involved in the Fed
erals buying in organized baseball"
according to --lmore, but neither he
nor the others interested would say
what the differences were.

EmpOria Teachers VIII Attempt tC

Give Indians a Drubbing.
Emporia, Kan, Nov. lift We
ever get rid of that jinx, we'll not
lose another game or tie one" said
Coach Bill Hargiss, of the Kansas
Normals, today. The Normal team
has been bothered by hard luck all
season although it has lost but one
game and at no time has the full
strength of the eleven been available.
In accounting for the Teachers sec
ond consecutive tie with the Warrens-
burg Normals last week, the coach
said his men did not play football all
the time. Frequent fumbles on the
Normal side of the line were respon-
sible for at least one of the Mis-
SourianS' touchdowns
None of the Teachers were injured
in the Missouri game last Saturday
and Hargiss' principal work this week,
in preparation for the Haskell Indian
game, Friday, has been in taking
some of the over-confidence out of
the team and drilling more speed
into the eleven. The Normal is out
after revenge and the Haskell Braves
will have to move at a rapid clip Fri
day, or they will be overtaken. The
Emporia team lost a hard-1uck game
to the Indians last year and intend
to even things up this week. HargisS
has threatened change in attack and
probably in his lineup for the re-
mainder of the season, but has an
nounced nothing definitely.

WaShburn.
The CIimax Gan1e.

The biggest game of the season in
the state will be played Saturday at
Lawrence, when the University of
kansas meets the University of Ne
braska IN a contest to decide the
championship of the Missouri Valley
conference.
With fair weather. it is expected
that McCook field will hold a record
breaking crowd on that day, arrange
ments having been made to run spe-
cial trains from Lincoln, Kansas CITY,
and other points throughout the state.
Conservative critics seem to believe
that Nebraska has a good chance to
retain the championship, while Kan
saS supporters generally were asking
odds on Nebraska.
Kansas students seem optimistic as
to the outcome, however. 1t is pointed
out that the undefeated Nebraskans
played ragged defensive game
against Nebraska Wesleyans at Lin
coin last Saturday and some reports
have been circulated that Nebraska
is Laundering in slump. Also the
University and Nebraska defeated
Washburn by approximately the same
scores.
X. U. Secret Practice.
In Lawrence there is much specu-
Iation as to the kind of preparation
Coach OlcCtt is putting his eleven
through behind the closed gates
among them that X U. will use
number of plays which prove a rev.
elation to football followers in the
valley. 1t IS said, also, that three or
four new men have been in training
to be played against the Nebraskans
among them Meyn, who played center
against Washburn last week.
Nebraskans, while confident, seem
to recognize the fact that in the Kan
sas eleven they have a factor in their
pathway to be reCkoned with and
that they are facing one of the hard
est games of their season The pow
erful line and the shifty backfield
which Coach Olcott has built up ap-
parently are much feared in the camp
of the eleven which has been unde-
fea TED in four YelrS
