Soft Federal Jobs.

Chairman and GubernatOrial
Candidate Visit White House.
State HeImsman May Become

LANSDON and LARDNER TO DC.

News from Washington just now
a matter of deep concern to Kansas
Democrats. While none of the leaders
are mentioning the matter out loud,
all of the faithful are waiting until
Senator William H. Thompson ana
members of the Kansas delegation can
shake the plum tree. That ne may
have a first choice in the selection OF
fruit, w. c. Lansdon, candidate for
governor in the recent election. is IN
Washington in his own behalf. Santa
Claus has also been reminded thal
Hubert Lardner. state chairman, IS
among the good little children IN Kan
sas.
Almost every day now some ardent
Kansas Democrat goes to the White
House to remind President Wilson OF
the presidential vote in Kansas II is
President Wilson who is expected TO
play Santa Claus to the Kansas Demo-
Gratis and help them in the dlstrlou-
ton of Christmas remembrances
There are a numoer of men who want
places. Some of them are expected to
land, too.
only this week Senator Thompson
went to the White House accompanied
by Mr.. Lansdon. They talked at
length and in detail of the $4,000
plurality which Wilson received IN
kansas in November Then in rather
general way Lansdon mentioned thdt
he himself had made the race for gov
ernor. OF course, he was beaten 1872
500 votes-a margin of 10000 be-
tween the presidential and gubernator-
ial pluralities-but LanSdOn was loyal
and patriotic and willing to forget it
all. Just at this stage, Senator Thomp-
son was certain the visitors should be
going. As he backed out of the door,
he hoped the president would not for
get Kansas-and Lansdon hoped so,
too.
Lardner May Land Also.
Last week Hubert Lardner, state
chairman, went to Washington. Lard
Iner directed the campaign in this state.
He is listed for something real good.
He may even land a better job than
does Lansdon who made the "sacri-
flee" in the recent unpleasantness.
Lansdon is listed for a good federal
appointment-one about the size Jo-
seph L. Bristow wanted when he wrote
to Chester 1. Long about a nice $500
place that would permit him to stay
at home most of the time and not oc-
cupy too much of his attention. Lans-
don is Bristow's competitor in the
newspaper game in Salina. Now the
dreams that Bristow once cherished
for soft federal place may be real
lied by his Democrat contemporary.
You never can tell.
Then there is the place that must
go to Mr.. Lardner. Just now there is
a rumor that John Caldwell, minister
to Persia, is soon to say farewell to
his job. Both Caldwell and Lardner
live in Fort Scott and there is a rumor
in politics that Caldwells job may go

Deportation of Belgian Labor
ers Is Social Necessity.
German Government Issues
Statement in Justification.
GIVEN CHANCE At CONTRACTS
Only Those Refusing to Work
Taken to Germany.
505,O0O Belgian LabOrers Were
Without Employment.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE German gov
ernment issued a statement today IN
justification of transfer of Belgian 1ao-
orers to Germany. 1t says the measure
is by no means a hardship for the
laborers, but is a social necessity OW-
ing to the British embargo against

the war supported large part OF the
Industrial population large numbers
of Belgian workers are idle, the state
ment says and conditions are grow
ing worse. Many families after spend
ing all their savings have become OBJ
jects of public charity.
This state of things is not due, as
asserted in Belgium to German re-
QUESTIONS of raw materials, it is ex-
planned, for these acquisitions occur
red as a rule only where factories were
unable to continue operations. OF l.
100000 employees engaged in Belgian
industries before the war 505,000 in
Guiding $4,000 women, are now
wholly without work, and 10000 in
Guiding $4,000 women are partly with
out work making a total of 655,0O0
persons dependent on public aid In
addition to these there are $4,000
wives and $4,000 children of men
without work, so that 1,56O,OOO per-
sons or one-fifth of the total Belgian
population require assistance
Earn More in Germany.
The German governor general Gen,
Won BiSSing, early recognized the nee
essity of taking measures to help the
idle to obtain employment He caused
municipalities to undertake public
works to create employment where
this was possible without imposing too
great financial burdens. Upon the
suggestion of Belgians of practical in
sight the governor general issued an
ordinance in August of 1915, against
persons unwilling to work, which was
made more stringent last March.
These ordinances provide for COM
pulsory transfer of workmen only
when idle persons refused to accept
work at reasonable pay without ade-
quate reasons, the provisions of inter-
national law protecting them against
working on war material being recog-
niZed as adequate ground. The ordi-
nances were directed chiefly against
organized influences aiming to pre-
vent laborerS from accepting work
voluntarily only because it was offered
by Germans. Nevertheless tens OF
thousands of persons voluntarily ac-
cepted work in Germany at profita Bile
wages. ~
The statement goes on to say the
labor ssituation.in belgium has Erpks1
worse and that conditions are now
such as to necessitate improvement;
hence the ordinances must be. en-
forced more vigorously in order to
relieve the situation. Before compul-
sorry transport, however, every idle
person is offered the opportunity vol
unfairly to accept profitable work on
contract, and cOmpulsion is resorted
to only where the laborer stubbornly
refuses. Workmen coming to Ger

MARQUIS OYAMA DEAD
The Napoleon of Japan Expires at His
.s Home in Toxic.

Toxic, Dec. 11.-MarShal Marquis
Iwao Oyama is dead here.
The Marquis Iwao Oyama was one
of Japans greatest soldiers. Qualified
German military critics have compared
him to the great Moltke, and some
even to Napoleon. British war writers
have likened him to Kitchener. In his
long and fame lined career his victor
les over the Russians in Manchuria
during the RuSso-Japanese war stand
out as the most brilliant achievements.
He was the master mind of Japans s
strategy in the land campaign. His
chain of victories was crowned by the
success in the battle of Lao Yang. In
the war with China he led the second
Japanese army which took Port Ar
thur and Wei Hal Wei
To the American public, Marshal
Oyama has long been familiar figure
because of the fact that his wife was
one of the first Japanese girls to be
in America. The marchioness,
at the age of 10 was chosen as the
cIeverest among a thousand little
girls, and sent by the Japanese govern
ment to the United States in 1871. She
lived several years in New Haven,
Conn, and later went to Vassar, grad
uating with the highest honors. She
read the valedictory and the subject of
her essay was "England's policy
against Japan" an impassioned plea
for her native country. 1t was later
translated by the Japanese govern
ment. The marchioness was before
her marriage Miss Stematz Yamakawa.
In New London she lived with the
family of DIR. Leonard Bacon.

AID STRICKEN NATIONS
U. 5. Should Be Financially Prepared
for After-War Mission.

Norfolk. Va, Dec. 11.-International
Reconstruction was the principal sub
Ject selected for discussion by the
Southern Commercial congress which
began its eighth annual convention
here today.
Speakers at today's sessions includ-
ed the comptroller OF the currency,
John Shelton Williams, who declared
that the United States should prepare
itself for defense against all corners
and be ready when the European war
ends, to finance and assist the world
literally and help the stricken nations
toward recovery.
This country should realize, he said,
that the enormous and unprecedented
wealth being accumulated here will
tempt the greed of all foreign govern
ments, while the maintenance of neu-
traIty and enforcement of interna-
uonal law will arouse the wrath of all

to Lardner. The place pays $40. 900 a
year.
This is thesbasis of the story that
Caldwell mayscome home to private
life In the recent campaign Caldwell
returned to the states for a vacation.
He was expected to make speeches for
the national COMMITTEES. He was ex-
pected, also, to separate himself from
$1,000 of his soft salary to help defray
the expenses of a very expensive and
short financed campaign. Caldwell
made no speeches.
Caldwell Laid Down on Job.
In fact, he is said to have intimated
to his friends that the fight was use
less and such wise ones as himself
were playing close to shore Caldwell
rather slipped the information straight
to his friends that Hughes was a sure
winner. All of which did not improve
the brotherly love for Caldwell among
Kansas Democrat leaders
Then there was the matter of the
campaign contribution. Caldwell is
reported to have finally-after much
urging-sent $500. And now there is
a -rumor that the Democrat party
Caldwell in Fort Scott and a more ar
dent Democrat looking after the ar
duous duties in Persia.
Several candidates on the Democrat
state tickets want appointments.
There are the faithful in the ranks to
be remembered. But with the daily
conveyance of the Kansas returns to
the presidents ears, Bourbon leaders
in the state are certain that the shak-
ing of the plum tree means a merry
Christmas for the faithful.

GETTING TOGETHER
The Two Big Minor Leagues
VIII Play Each Other.
Also They May Consolidate
Into One Major Circuit.

New York, Dec. 11.-Details of the
inter-league series between the Inter
national league and the American as
sociation were to be worked out today
two leagues.
Thomas Hickey, new president of
the American association, and his club
owners already have ratified their
end of the plan and they are here to
explain and agree to anything that
might be suggested by the Interna-
tional leaguers.
On the face of it, the plan, which
calls for a schedule of 112 games af-
ter the close of regular seasons by the
two leagues, seems to be the one
thing so far proposed that Will

Need Reyiving.
The small leagues, A. A, as well
as the more. bushy classes, have had
some pretty hard shedding since the
Federals made their historical play for
recognition, and every head in the
business has had some plan to pro-
pose for betterment. 1t is argued for
the benefit of the plan that it will
give the fans variety in that sixteen
teams will be seen instead of the usual
eight Also new cities will be repre-
sented, thereby arousing some rivalry.
Everything seems to be for the success
of the proposition.

less the minor league magnates. agree
to pay salaries while players@are in
jured. 1t is believed some sort of a
compromise can be reached, The
Glass AA leagues have been trying
hard to have the draft eliminated
from their clubs, and around this
point may develop a hard fight. The
players will fight this plan, contend
ing that it would initiate against their
chances of advancement to the ma
jors.
Fultz Against 1t.
Dave Fultz already has made known
his feelings in this, and they are
strongly against 1t. He feels that "a
player could be kept indefinitely in
! the AA leagues in case the draft was
not there to give him a chance of ad-
vancing.
National league magnates are be-
ginning to drift in for their annual
gabfest which will open tomorrow.
Third Major Plans.
Baltimore, Md, Dec. 11.-When the
International league goes into session
in New York this afternoon, Jack
Dunn, the Baltimore magnate will in
troduce his plan for a third major
league.
The proposition of the OrioIe leader
will be to take the six best cities of
both the International league and the
American association and form a third
league of twelve clubs. The draft will
be removed from this circuit. making
it nominally a major, but not asking
for representation in the world S series
until such a time as the baby major
has grown SO strong and lusty that
popular sentiment calls for a three
cornered classic.
