SECURITY LEAGUE
Branch Is Organized With Rush
at Kansas City.
/. r.. KirkwOod, President; Il.
A. Long Is HOnOred.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept 14.-At
meeting of business men here today
TO organize a branch of the National
Security league. William b. Brewster,
field secretary of the league, declared
that it's object was not to foster mill
tarism but to insure peace through
preparedness.
1--WE do not believe in a large stand
ing army" Mr.. Brewster said. But
we are striving for a strong volunteer
force. a well balanced navy and an in
crease in the regular army of 25.O
We have at esent only thirty thou
Sand mobile troops in continental
init ; states and they are distributed
between fifty-two army posts, and
even this small army is short of Off.
GERS, ammunition and equipment, ana
has no organized reserve.
"Our navy is exceeded in tonnage
bv Great Britain, Germany and France
and many of our ships are obsolete.
We are short of fast scout cruisers,
battle cruisers areoplanes, mine lay
ers submarines supply SHIPS ana
transports Target practice has been
neglected, our navy is inadequately
manned, and has no organized reserve
of trained men.
"Ar we are striving for is for de-
lenses strong enough to protect our
land from an invasion. r me National
Security league is securing the Co
operation OF large employers VI ItlSh
in an endeavor to popularize service
in the national guard and is meeting
with encourag ing success. Through
the work of the league we hope to
arouse the latent sentiments of the
people for defense that will speak in
no uncertain tones to congress, so con-
gress may act on the recommen da-
tions of the army and navy boards"
The causes of this country's unpre-
paredness, Mr.. Brewster said, We're:
Lack of military and naval policy.
insufficient support and encourage
ment of our national guard, pork bar
rel methods of making applications
and the supremacy of politics over pa
triotism."
Organization was perfected with the
election of 1. r. Kirkwood of Kansas
City as president. r. A. Long, tenn
porary chairman, was chosen honorary
president without duties after he had
explained ne could not accept the
presidency. One hundred attended
the meeting, which. according to Mr..
Brewster. was the largest of a similar
nature yet held in this country.

TURK BATTERIES STILL
Allies Fleet Sweeps Adriatic Shore
More Forces Are Landed.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE allied fleet
has located Turkish batteries along
the Asiatic shore of the Dardanelles,
according to a Journal dispatch from
Athens. Observers in a captive bal
loon spied out the Ottoman artillery,
which was silenced by shells from
British and French guns, with the re-
suit that the camps of the allied
forces are now more tenable.
Advices from Mytilene received at
Athens are to the effect that large
bodies of F'ranco-British troops are
disembarking on the Galllpoli PENN
sula. Steady progress by the allies
is reported to be causing consterna-
ton in ConStantinople.

being worked out today by members
of the state board of administration
and the Kansas members of the ex-
position commission
Now that the end of the coast show
is in sight, the salvage men are cast
ing cOvetous glances at the state
buildings and reckoning their profits
One of the places where these men
really expect to reap a harvest is in
the purchase of the Kansas building
NOW Kansas is preparing a little sur
prise party of her own. She plans to
bring her building home, erect a per-
manent home for the rah rah girls
and think of the exposition the salvage
sharks and laugh every time she looks
at the beautiful permanent structure.
The Kansas building at the big fair
cost $4,000. Recently an optimistic
salvage man told a member, of the
Kansas commission that $1,000 might
be realized from the building when an
order comes this fall to clear the fair
grounds. The member of the COM
mission figured for five minutes on
the business side of an envelope and
now the salvage men can prepare to
boost their bids or lose a bargain The
hanSan recalled That his state had
erected buildings at the Chicago and
ST. Louis fairs and received no returns.
But he didn't propose that the preced-
ent should stand through all the ages
Lumber Cost Thousands.
So now there is plan to bring the
building back to Kansas, recon-
struct it on the campus at Kansas

substantial and almost entirely fire
proof home fer the college girls. In

sition building are in hard wood, with
expensive decorations and furnish
ings. The exterior is finished in
day Charles Chandler, state architect,
estimated the value of the lumber in
the building at $1,000 to $4,000.
I'VE can bring the building back to
Kansas as memento Of the fair and
provide q permanent home for the
girls at the school," said Ed Ha OK
ney, chairman of the beard of adj
ministration. Just now we are try
ing tC arouse the sentimental in
stincts of the Santa Fe ard make
provision for getting the material
back to Kansas without too much ex-
pense to the state
The main structure of the Kansas
building is 50X100 feet, with broad
verandas and is one of the most i'm
posing structures at the Frisco fair
The architectural design is regarded
as one Of the most beautiful displayed
at the exposition and the recoDstruc-
