TURNS ON THE LIGHT.
Carranza Is Appealed to for Protec'
ton to Shipping.

Washington, Feb. 22.=Harry T.
Rhodes, general manager in Mexico
City for a Baltimore manufacturing
concern, taken a prisoner by Zapata,
troops, today's official dispatch to the
state department says has been re-
leased and returned to Mexico iCty.
No American or other foreigners are
under arrest at Piedras Negras as has
been reported. On representations to
General Carranza that vessels have
been damaged in fTampico harbor and
the lighthouses on the Campeche
banks. the general has agreed to
start the lights again.
John r. Silliman. special repre-
sentative of the state department,
joined General Carranza at Vera Cruz
Saturday. That is taken to indicate
that railroad travel between the CAPT.
tai and the gulf has been restored.
The arrest and holding for ransom of
$50 Roman Catholic priests by Car
rama forces in Mexico City was at
tended by organized protests of the
people. A procession Of women
marched to the Brazilian legation to
ask the minister's Intervention.
From Monterey it is reported there
has been no fighting there for the last
two weeks. Villa and Carranza forces
have been reported battling for the
city Villa forces have occupied Ro-
sario on the Pacific side and Carranza
| troops are reported to have retreated
! toward MaZatlan.

LITTLE TOO CLOSE
Dutch and Germans Don't Get
Along on Frontier.
Holland Ever Ready to Oppose
Any Neutral Violation.

Amsterdam Feb 22.-The Dutch
and German soldiers who have been
patrolling on opposite sides OF the
boundary line since the war began
have been ordered to withdraw from
close contact on account Of the fact
that a number of disagreeable Incl
dents have occurred. Up to the be-
ginning of February the Dutch sol-
diers and the Germans paced side by
side and carried on conversations. 1t
appears that trouble sometimes arose
through the expression of diverse
views, SO the commanders of the pa
trolls have now separated the, men by
a distance of 100 yards. Between the
small strip of territory separating the
Dutch from the German, sentries no
one is permitted to go except on
chance OF being Immediately shot.
Behind the frontier line on both sides
have been erected field Notifications
in the shape of trenches and gun
emplacements. Those in Dutch ter
ritory are so placed as to render inn
possible any surprise inroad into The
Netherlands. and they are defended
by strong bodies of troops. On the
opposite side in Belgium the entrench-
ments face away from the Dutch from
tier, and are evidently intended to Of
fer shelter to the German army in
case it should find itself obliged to re-
Flanders.
There is a strong feeling among the
Dutch troops that the Germans will be
forced over the frontier in Limburg
should the allied forces eventually
push them out of Belgium This lit
tie stripe of Holland, forming sort
of appendix to the south. is bounded
on the west by Belgium and on the
east by Germany. 1t is very narrow
and would offer great temptation to
retreating army trying to get away
from it's pursuers. The Dutch realize
this and are determined to oppose any
such action by every means in their
power.
While these efforts to maintain a
strict neutrality are maintained there
has been some criticism of the Dutch
government in consequence of it's &C.
ton in keeping such a large number
of troops under arms. Premier Cort
van der Linden. however. maintains
that the position taken UP has been
the only correct one under the cir
cumstances and declares that the gov
eminent is sure that 1.-The Netherlands
will, neither now nor in the future,
surrender her rights to any one with
out a struggle"
There is a strong movement among
a section of the peoplei n favor of an
appeal for Intervention in the inter-
ests of peace. There exists an Anti
war eLague," which recently has dis
played great activity and petitions
are placed everywhere for signature
asking the queen of the Netherlands to
| make some move in this direction

IT PLEASED WHITE.
Capper's Choice OF PrOgressives
Brings Praise From EmpOria Editor.

Governor Capper's recognition of
three well known PrOgressives of 1912
has brought forth words of praise and
thanksgiving from the editorial pages
Of William Allen Whites Emporia Ca
zette. The new governors recognition
of "our kind of people" as White
states it, is regarded by the Bull
Moose leader as an indication that the
governor was perhaps really sincere
in his independence speech when he
was quoted as being body and soul
with the Progressive movement.
Praising the-Capper appointments.
White says:

Want HEADQUARTERS.
Commercial Club Working, on Frazier
mai Aid Union Proposition.

The Commercial club and the four
local lodges of the Fraternal Aid
Union will make an effort to land the
headquarters for that organization for
Topeka. Last August the Fraternal
Aid Association of Lawrence and the
Fraternal Union of Denver were con-
solidated. 1t is likely that the central
offices will be located In neither of
these cities, and it is thought that To-
peka has an excellent chance to land
this enterprise. There are four lodges
here with a membership Of 1900.
Representatives of the organization
appeared before the promotion COM
mittee of the Commercial club under
S. C. Petit today. A subcommittee
of the promotion committee will work
with committees of two from each of
the. local lodges with view to bring
ing the headquarters here. Decision
will be made at the annual meeting
next summer. According to J. N. Dol
ley, who spoke at the committee meet
ing today. the organization is the
twelfth largest of it's kind in the
United States. 1t employs more than
100 persons, and it's annual business
| aggregates one and one-half million
dollars.

The Pope Favors : Worldwide
Peace Movement.
Stands Ready to Take the Lead
In Negotiations.

Rome. Feb. 22.-That the time is
rapidly approaching when the neu-
trail nations must demand that the
present war be ended is the opinion
Of all the high officials Of the vatican.
Up to the present, Pope Benedict has
been contenting himself with efforts
to mitigate the suffering caused by
the war. But during the present fast
period. it is expected an effort will be
made to determine whether concerted
action by the neutrals is not possible.
The attitude OF the vatican was set
forth for the benefit of the United
States by Cardinal Gasparri, papal
secretary Of state.
When informed that the people of
the United States were very anxious to
learn at first hand just what his holi-
ness was planning, he said:
1.-THE holy father appeals with all
of his soul for the re-establishment of
peace, especially because his sons on
both sides are engaged in a fratricidal
struggle.
"Until now the attempts to attain
so highly Christian and humane re-
suit by personally appealing to the
belligerents have been doomed to de-
feat. 1t was because of the realization
of this fact that the holy father has to

most powerful influence. 1t must not
overlook its opportunity to force
peace now.
| And the mothers and wives of the
entire civilized world should act, and
act now. Regardless of nationality,
all women should now unite for q
great peace movement, and move 1t

the movement for peace among the
women of America and I am hopeful
that 1t will extend throughout the
