GOVERNMENT URGED TO GO SLOW

tial. W hope thst trials under inareaaa
law and the use Of the military for any
but strictly military operations will be
avoided so far as possible. |
I'VE hope, too. there will be . prompd
and honest inquiry into the motives Of
the rebels and the best MEANS for bring
ing them back to their senses. A cusi1-
mission composed Of acknowledged Irish
leaders to assist in dealing with tho reh-
els and negotiate their surrender might
be Of great service Sir Edward Carson
and John Redmond are ready to cooper
ate In this way. The object to be aimed
at is the restoration Of order as soon a.
possible with the least bloodshed. There
is place for mediation as well as for
repression and leading Irishmen should
be invited to undertake it unobtrusively
and unofflcially without delay"

Kansas Bankers VIII Organize
to Oppose Revenue Measure.
Plan to Enlist the Cooperation
of the Depositors.
WILL ASSAI[ WASHINGTON
Members of Congress VIII Hear
From Constituents.
They Don't Mind the Money,
but It's the Trouble.

Kansas bankers and bank patrons
are to be organized in opposition to
the proposed federal stamp bill. The
measure means that a two-cent fed
eral revenue stamp must be placed on
every check and both bankers and
bank patrons are to be enlisted in the
fight to beat the measure now pending
in congress.
Notices to all banks have been sent
from Topeka and an organized fight
means an expense of several hundred
thousand dollars a year to Kansas
bank patrons. Every member of the
Kansas delegation in Washington will
in the next few days receive some de-
cidedly pertinent news from his con-
stituents. The letters will inform him
that Kansas bankers and bank deposi-
tors do not want revenue tax on
checking accounts.
The new war revenue measure is in
furtherance of the national admins
tration's policy of providing funds to
offset the loss in tariff revenues
through tariff revision and war con-
ditions in Europe.
Bankers to Lead Fight.
That the man with money may pay
the deficit in government revenues,
it was proposed to place a war revenue
on all checks. This plan has aroused
opposition in every section of the
country anu III ANelAs'eAo SAAO
will lead a fight against the bill.
The bankers really don't care about
the revenue measure-that isn't 1t,
explained a Topeka banker today. 1T S
the policy and requirement of placing
stamps on every check. 1t all means
lot of trouble-to say nothing OF
much expense-to both the banks and
the bank patrons.
Passage of the new revenue meas
ure by congress means that the man
with money in the bank must carry a
supply of war stamps with him if he
would avail himself of the privilege
of drawing on his account The man
or woman who accepts a check must
also see that a revenue stamp is at
tached. That also requires the pur-
chase of war stamp supplies Then
the bank must keep a supply of these
stamps on hand When the check is
finally presented, the teller must insist
on stamps. If the patron is not pro-
vided with a stamp, the bank teller
may sell one-even give it away, if the
bank desires-and the patron can at
tach the seal to the check All OF
which means trouble, expense, loss of
time and all manner of inconvenience.
So the Kansas bankers and bank de-
poSitors. are to organize to fight the
new war revenue bill.

She DOESN'T CARE
Average "Hired Grip Not Am
bilious for knowledge.
Other HOusekeepers Just "Pick-
ed Up What They Know.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 21.-The
average hired girl does not care for
technical training in household duties
and the average housewife employer
could not afford to pay the higher
wages due skilled workers, according
to a report made here today to the
National Society for the Promotion of
Industrial Education by Bess NJ. Rowe
of the agriculture extension division
of the University of Minnesota. The
report was one of the results of the
Minneapolis Survey which subject
engaged the exclusive attention of the
convention this morning.
The report on homeworkers said the
investigation was conducted by under
graduates of the university belonging
to the Phi Epsilon Omicron sorority,
a professional home economics society.
Three types of homes were visited,
those where the work was done by
paid employees, those where members
of the family performed the tasks but
IN surroundings of comfort and even
luxury, and those where the house
mother struggled with problems of
bare existence. Each type was ex-
amined in an effort to determine
whether short courses in domestic
science would be welcome

defense of our own coasts and the
islands of the West Indies. To free
the navy we need ample coast de-
lenses manned by a hundred thousand
men, and a mobile regular army of
one hundred and fifty thousand men.
As regards the navy 1 call your atten-
ton to the fact that the statement in
the presidents message as to what the
present naval program will produce is
not borne out by the statements of
the general board of the navy. For
example. tie president says that when
this program is finished we will have
twenty-five effective battleships for
the second line of defense. The gen.
eral board, on the contrary, shows
that we will have but thirteen and
that the other twelve are fit only for
harbor defense or as a third line In
other words, they are not efficient
second-line ships. They are not sec
ond-line ships at all. The proposed
program is a paper program. 1t is
entirely inadequate to our needs.
Need New BattIeships.
"At present what is needed is imme-
diately to strain every nerve of the
government so that this year we will
begin work on half-a-dozen formidable
fighting battleships and formidable
speedy armed cruisers.
I'VE need the best types of sea-go-
ing submarines We need an inn

corps. I wonder how many of our
people understand that at this time
the total strength of the officers and
men in the French aviation corps sur
passes in number the total strength of
the officers and enlisted men in the
United States army.
1.-The proposed continental army is
sham 1t would be merely an incffi-
cient rival of the National Guard. For
a year or so, during the period OF
novelty it might attract some men.
Military training should be re-
CURED as a matter of right and not
asked as a matter of favor of all our
citizens. In a free democracy the

citizens both in war and in peace

is NOT HIGH TREASON
Two Swiss Colonies. However, Must
stand Trial on Minor Charge.

Geneva, Jan. 21.-The Swiss fed
eral council has decided the facts on
which the charges recently made
against Col. Maurice De Wattensyl and
Col, Karl Egl are based do not con-
stitute high treason, but that they are
such that judicial proceedings should
be begun against the two officers, and
this actually has been ordered.
A dispatch from Geneva January IA
said the two colonies had been charged
with communicating to Germany in
formation regarding the French posi-
tions along the French Swiss frontier
and according to other accounts of
having delivered each evening to the
Austro- German military attaches the
reports at Swiss headquarters during
the day, concerning the movements
and the disposition of Swiss troops
along the frontiers
