TO OTHER BANKS
Shawnee County Sends $4,000
to Country Institutions.
Three Per Cent Paid When To-
peka Bankers Refuse.

Shawnee county will draw per cent
lars of its funds.
The county commissioners have
authorized the county treasurer to
place that amount on time deposit in
three banks located outside of Topeka
Twenty thousand dollars will be placed
in each of the two banks at Rossville
and ten thousand dollars will be placed
in the bank at Silver Lake. These
amounts will be deposited by the
county treasurer for given periods of
time and he will take out time GER
tificates in his own name, as county
treasurer
All of these banks have been carry
ing some county money but have been
carrying it on daily balance and have
been paying II per cent interest on
it. When the Topeka banks got to-
gether and announced that beginning
May 1 they would pay the county only
2 per cent interest on daily balances
the commissioners looked for a hole.
They asked w E. Atchison, county
attorney, for an opinion as to whether
or not they could place the county's
money on time deposit. The opinion
was favorable and the instructions to
the county treasurer were issued yes
terday.
Fifty thousand dollars is only a
small part of the county's funds but
the rate to be paid by the outside
banks is one-half of one per cent more
than the county has been receiving in
Topeka heretofore and one per cent
more than it will receive on daily bal
ances under the new order.

Reference Interpreted to Mean
End of War Desired.
Twice Offered to Make Peace,
Declares Late Epistle.
RECALLS VISIT WITH EMPEROR
Peace Proposal May Have Been
Impaired to Gerard.
Wilson Has Awaited Sugges.
ton From Some Beiligerent.

Washington. May e.-Overshadow-
ing in many minds the question OF
the presidents acceptance of the Ger
man reply is interest in the small par
agraph in the heart of the German
note relating TO peace. When the
president replies to Germany this
paragraph may or may not be
touched upon Nevertheless. officials
today in guarded manner intimated
frankly that something may result di-
rectly from Germanys plain indica-
ton that she is anxious for peace.
The conference between Ambassa-
dor Gerard and the kaiser suddenly
looms large in the minds of officials
here 1t never had been seriously
thought that the emperor discussed
details of the submarine issue with
the American ambassador. Since the
arrival here of the German note. the
belief has grown strong that peace
may have played a prominent part in
that conference.
Doesn't Want War Prolonged.
Germany's admission that she has
twice offered to make peace her
declaration that she yields to the
presidents demands because she be-
lieves it would be calamity if the
war were prolonged or increased in
scope-these decisions, if not actual
indications of uneasiness over the flu
ture, are at least appeals to this coun-
try for formative steps that win stop
the carnage, according to the ex-
pressed belief in German circles as
well as in administration Quarters.
1t may be said with certainty that
some of those close to the president
believe he should and may tentatively
sound out the warning powers on the
question OF a possible peace as a re-
suit of the German note. One of these
men said today:
Nation Sick of Conquest.
"We hear in this (the German re-
p1y) not the voice of the braggart or
buly-but the voice of a nation sick
and tired of the endless fight. II is
the heart and soul of Germany speak
ing what it feels.
From all the countries at war we
read every day of some indication thlt
the conflict is becoming an intolerable
burden. Perhaps this is the time to
move for the end
The president has for more than a
year declined to volunteer his services
in the cause of peace. Until such ac-
ton was suggested to him by one Of
the countries fighting, it has been un-
This suggestion in the minds of many
here is that time has now come.
Whether not the president regards
it in this light remains to be seen.
With the official text of the German
reply before him today, President
Wilson is formulating his decision on
whether or not Germany has met
issue.
Conclusion Generally Approved.
Since it already has been an

SENATOR MAHIN COMING BACK

Hundreds of Kansas old soldiers
and their sons are for Colonel Roose-
Welt for the Republican presidential
nomination according to statement
TODAY. by j. w. Buffum, veteran To-
peka travelling man. Buffum has re-
turned from a 90-day trip through
the state He found a growing Sentl-
ment for Roosevelt and decided in
crease in the number of preparedness
boosters
Veterans who fought in the civil
war are for a program of prepared
ness, Buffum declared. He also
stated that sons of veterans are Dit
terly opposed to a wobbly and uncer-
tain foreign policy and prefer a clean
cut, emphatic program such as they
expect from a Roosevelt administra-
ton. Buffum is one of the veteran
travelling men of the state. For near
ly forty years he has been enrolled as
a knight of the grip and through his
acquaintance in Kansas is able to
gather a definite view of sentiment in
various localities.
Il have just made a ninety day trip
over the state and there isn't bit OF
question about a growing Roosevelt
sentiment in Kansas said Buffum.
This sentiment is especially defined
among old soldiers and sons of vet
Grams who denounee a weak foreign
policy on the part of our nation. They
look to Roosevelt for the leadership
the nation expects and demands.
These men know the meaning and
value of preparedness and they will
never approve a program that COM
promises the honor of the nation or
fails to afford absolute and positive

NO REPLY NEEDED
Believe President Considers
Submarine Issue Closed.
Lansing May Issue Statement
Touching on Note.

Washington, May 6--The sub
marine issue between the United States
and Germany is closed. This is the
view of President Wilson S advisers with
tn official text of Germany's reply to
the American demands in hand The
president himself received the official
text today but the White House with
held comment.
So completely do officials in touch
with the situation consider the issue
disposed of, it is said, there will be no
reply by the president to the German
note. There may be a statement by
Secretary Lansing, however. calling
attention to the essential point in the
note-that Germany has ordered sub
marine attacks confined to vessels of
war. This is the essence of the kaiser's
reply. officials say, and leaves no
actual issue with Germany.
The issue will remain closed. Of
ficiaIs believe. They feel Germany
will not reopen il by resuming warfare
against merchantmen.

TRUCE WITH VILLA LEADERS

Ell Paso, May General Scott and
General Funston planned today to
hold another conference with Gen
eral Obregon in the expectation that
before it ended, the suggestions of the
United States government for CO.
operative disposal of the Villa bands
in Mexico would take the form of a
duly signed protocol.
Prior to the m citing, however, came
reports from Juarez that were n :
quite so optimistic. 1t was reported
that the negotiations might extend into
still another session of he confereeS
pressed a wish for further discussion
of the subject of the withdrawal of
the American troops.
While the American conferees will
submitted by General Obregon, there
is no chance that any change in the
attitude of the United States will take
place it was said here, except on minor
details. The fact that General Car
rama did not Immediately endorse the
tentative agreement entered into by
General Obregon was seized upon by
the ''interventionists'' here, who have
been predicting a break between the
first chief and his minister of war.
They declare that the present situa-
ton is but a forerunner of wider
split TO come between the two men.
Truce With ViIIistas.
From authentic Mexican sources. it
is learned, that during the conference
held here and in Juarez, an inter-party
truce has existed in Mexico with the
understanding that if trouble arises
between the de facto government and
the United States, all factions would
unite against the common enemy.
General Trevino is reported to have
received messages by telegraph from
various Villa chiefs saying that they
are ready to put sixteen million rounds
of ammunition now hid in the noun
tains as well as their own services at
the disposal of the first chief, should
break occur with Washington.
There are now no Villa bands, only
bandits was the comment of General
Obregon today when the subject of
operations against Villa was men
toned.
There are no Villistas. as their
cause is dead and gone" Obregon
continued. 'It is now only a hunt aft
er outlaws without a flag. 1t is only
q matter of time and diligence before
they are cleared out of our country"

Shawnee Officers Looking Up
Legality of "WOnder Water"

Not long ago the word was passed
around in official county circles that
there was still in operation in Shaw
nee county; that within the shadow
of the state house dome ''the worm"
was changing good Shawnee corn and
rye into brand of liquor that would
make the proverbial jackrabbit spit in
the proverbial bulldogs face.
The officers had the alleged location
of the still. 1t was about twelve
miles distant from the court house.
They laid plans for an early morning
raid. 1t was planned to leave Topeka
about o'clock in the morning in
automobiles and swoop down upon the
operators of the still when they
changed shifts. Everything was going
fine and the officers expected to make
a clean up.
Then came the climax-the kind
with an anti prefixed.
Some home grown detective made a
discovery. He discovered there was
no still at all; that while it might be
whisky that was being turned out, it
lacked a lot of coming within the
meaning of the word as set forth in
the pharmacopea. True, it had alco-
hol in it but the alcohol was placed in
it after the drink was made and the
people supposed to be running the still
were not selling the alcohol.
Merely Selling Zanol.
They were selling 'Zanol" and
Zanol is nothing more nor less than

BY Queen Marie of Rumania.

Bucharest. May 6.-The most
striking fact demonstrated by this
war is that mans power is linn
tied. Machinery has revenged it
self on mankind.
Man believed himself the worlds
master, but against him has risen
up power of his own invention
to demonstrate to him that his
littleness is such that he cannot
dominate what he creates.
Flesh and bone cannot over
come the annihilating force of the
weapons that mans own brain de-
vised for destruction of his own
kind.
However brave. however strong
he may be, the machine he has
evolved wrests the humanitarian
victory from his grasp and the
eternal truth has again been
brought home to him that his
powers are limited
