OEFIES THE "DISLOYALISTS"
Americanism the Subject of \ Vigor-
Gus Address by President Wilson
at Washington.


Washington, June ia charge
that foreign born citizens of the
United States are trying to levy po-
Iitical blackmail and to undermine the
influence of the national government
was made by President Wilson in a
flag speech here today. His asser-
ton sounded the keynote of one of
the foremost issues on which he will
go before the country for reelection
and touched upon platform declara-
ton that will be submitted by the adj
ministration to the St. Louis conven-
ton.
The President spoke before a crowd
of thousands gathered at the foot of
the Washington Monument, after he
had reviewed for five hours a great
preparedness parade at the head of
which he himself had marched down
Pennsylvania avenue. He declared
that not since the Civil war had it
whether the Stars and Stripes stood
for any one united purpose.
There is disloyalty active in the
United States and it must be absolute
Iy crushed" declared the President,
speaking emphatically. 1T proceeds
from a minority, a very small minor
ity, but very active and subtle mi
nority. 1t works underground, but it
also shows it's ugly head where we
can see it; and there are those at this
moment who are trying to levy a
species of political blacgmail. saying.
DO what we wish in the interest Of
foreign sentiment, or we will wreak
our vengeance at the polls
That is the sort of thing against
which the American Nation will turn
with might and triumph of sentiment
that will teach these gentlemen once
for all that loyalty to this flag is the
first test OF tolerance in the United
/ States"
The Presidents words were taken
as an open challenge to foreign-born
Americans who, he had learned from
! foreign language newspapers and
other sources, are opposing him for
reelection Officials close, to him
said he had determined to make a
| predominant issue in his campaign

FIND BODY OF BOY
Victim of Johnson County Ira
gedy Apparently Killed
With a Stone.
HAVE NO CLUE TO IDENTITY
Negro Section Hand Discovers Corpse
in Underbrush Near the Frisco
Railroad Tracks.

The body of an unidentified boy,
about IA years old, was found the
other day in the underbrush along the
Frisco railroad tracks half a mile
north OF South Park in Johnson county
by a negro section hand.
Sheriff E. G. Carroll and Coroner P.
L. Lathrop of Olathe, as well as the
police of Kansas City, are convinced
that the boy was murdered, as there
were numerous indications of des-
perate struggle. The right side of the
head was crushed in two places and
beneath the chin there was a deep
thumb print. Coroner Lathrop said
the victim had probably been dead
several days.
A blood stained stone found near the
body revealed the weapon that had
been used by the murderer. The po-
lice have two theories concerning the
crime. One is that the boy was acct
dentally struck by a mOtorist, who
then got out of the car and and pound
ed the victim to death with stone.
This theory, however, is made highly
improbable by the fact that the were
no bruises on the body. The other
theory is that the boy was killed by
his companions and the body secreted
in the underbrush.
The victim weighed about 100
pounds and was five feet and four
inches tall, with blue eyes and dark
hair: He wore light blue shirt (Pur-
itan brandt, neckband thirteen inches
blue serge knee trousers and blue
.overalls, no undertaking, black lace
oxfords and a gray checked cap. On
the waistband of the trousers were the
initials "W. NJ. E." while the laundry
mark on the shirt was ''W. E." The
pockets contained nothing except a
small wooden pipe and some cigarette
papers.
The body was removed to Olathe
where it is held for Modification. SC
far as the police are able to learn
there are no boys missing from home
in Kansas City.

TRIED TO DESTROY HIS SHIP
Austrian Engineer Set Fire to Ameri.
can Schooner at Sea-BeIieVed to
be insane.

New York, June 15.-The American
schooner Mary E. Palmer arrived here
today from Buenas Aires with her en-
gineer, an Austrian, in irons 70 an al
legged attempt to burn the ship al sea.
The man is believed to have become
demented from brooding over the war.
Soon after leaving the Argentine port
the captain said, the engineer became
angered by the presence in the crew
of three Russians and an Englishman,
whom he frequently abused.
April % he is alleged to have dis
mantled the pumps, drawn the water
out of the donkey boiler and started
a fire under it. The vessel caught
fire and after the flames had been ex-
tinguished was forced to put into
Ceara, Brazil, for repairs.

NOV Absorhent m suruerx.

One medical outcome OF the war Is
the discovery that sphagnum moss and
fine sawdust are excellent substitutes
for absorbent cotton as dressings for
wounds. The moss is the long-fbered
kind commonly found in swampy
places in this country that florists and
nurserymen use for protecting the
roots of plants during shipment Il
takes up moisture better than absorb
ent cotton and does not grow sodden
so quickly. OF course both the moss
and the sawdust are sterilized before
they are used for dressings.-Touth' 9

OIL FEVER SWEEPING STATE
Geological Students at University Get
Good Summer Positions Making
Surveys for Promoters.

Oil booms over Kansas are proVid-
Ing good positions for numerous geo
logical students of the University of
Kansas. Twenty students have OBJ
tanned summer positions to make geo
logical surveys for oil over various
parts of the state.
According to Erasmus Haworth, pro-
fessor OF geology, the "oil fever" is
sweeping the state, and has reached
as far northwest as Ottawa and Cloud
counties, where biologists have been
called to investigate the strata of that
country for oil possibilities. Prof Ha-
worth estimates that at the present
time .6,OOOO00 acres of Kansas land
are under lease of oil promoters and
a large proportion OF this is far out
side of what this time last year was
considered oil territory.

IN BORDER RAID
Mexican Band Attacks Ameri-

Miles From Laredo.
NO CIVILIANS WERE INJURED
Bandit Gang, Led by Luis de Ia Rosa,
Lost Eight Men-Carranza Off
Ger Slain.

Laredo, Tex, June 16--Three Amer
lean soldiers are dead and six are
wounded as a result of the latest raid
on American territory by Mexicans
coming from the southern side of the
Rio Grande. No civilians were in
Jured, as the raid primarily was an
attack on the border patrol at the lit
tie settlement of San Ignacio, forty
miles southeast of Laredo.
1t has been established definitely
that the raiders were members of the
band of Luis de la Rosa and that the
attack was made under his direction.
The identity Of the bandits was dis
closed by the story Of Vicente Lira,
who entered the American camp sew
eraI hours after the fight and an
of the Mexicans.
Carranza Major Among Dead.
From the body Of one of the Mexi-
cans killed were taken papers that in
dictated that he was Cruz Ruis, a ma
jor in Carranza's army. Undue i'm
pOTtance was not attached to this dis
coVery by army officers, however, who
believe it not improbable that Ruis
was carrying the papers more as SOU
venirs of the days when he was an
officer in the government army than
to show his authority now.
Although successful in a measure,
the raid was not wholly surprising TO
the American guard which, in larger
numbers than the Mexicans expected
to find, saw in the bright moonlight
the approach of the 100 or more ban
dts. They headed for the rear of
where Troop n Of the Fourteenth cav
airy was encamped, with Troop but
a short distance away. Both troops
were under command of Major Alonzo
Gray
The Mexican toll was last reported
as eight known dead, a number
wounded and several captured. In
addition forty-two horses, once Meu-
can mounts, were captured. One Mex
lean who surrendered said, according
to those who made him captive, that
he was forced into the raid and that
his sentiments were not anti-Ameri-
can.
