eeiyed the following letter, which
gives interesting sdel;ghts on the war

III is with great admiration that we
hear of the charity with which heroic
Switzerland is treating the wounded
soldiers and officers of all the bellig
erent countries, without showing any

though Switzerland is in a-e-R gorous
position and has many very serious
hardships to face, she has never
ceased to extend the most unt.ring
charity to foreign countries.
soon after the beginning Of the war,
the Swiss Hotel Association tried tC
find means to open their famous
health resorts to the badlN wounded
Unfortunately for a long time this
matter seemed incapable of being
solved, as all foreign nations thought
ii too riSGy to send their officers and
soldiers to Switzerland for the purpose
of re9aining their much shattered
health in that glorious climate. But
the never firing efforts OF the Swiss
government, combined with the assist
ance of the pope, have finally sue
ceeded. "

1t has been found unnecessary to

TWO ATTORNEYS
DEBATE IN COURT
upon PROPRIETY

/ Attorney ]. A. Magoon and Prose
cutting Attorney Charles F. Chilling
worth had a long debate in police
court Saturday in which Judge j.
NJ. Monsarrat frequently iinterposed,
over the propriety of Mr.. Magoon
having man tried in police court
with the admitted purpose of forcing
him 10 make weekly contribution
to support. while at the same time
pressing q libel suit for divorce IN a
higher court praying for alimony,
The county attorneys office holds
that, though technically and legally
permissible, such procedure is de-
cided injustice to the defendant and
libellee This view is concurred in
by the district magistrate. Jose P.
Sanchos is the unlucky man in the
case. Mr.. Magoon maintains that his
purpose is chiefly to make sure that
when the divorce case comes up this
week his man will be present, and
this again is objected to by the prose
cutor, who is averse, he says, to
having the police court used as a
means Of retaining parties in suit
IN higher court.
This is the same case in which At
torney Magoon caused Judge T. B.
Stuart to issue enormously writ OF
me exeat," form OF. writ which was
abolished in the territory more than

GREAT APPLE STATE
Kansas Is Declared To Be the Equal
of Any in the West.

kansas has greater possibilities as
a fruit raising state than any state on
the Pacific coast or IN the west" I.
D. Graham, editor of the Rural Spirit,
published at Portland, Ore, told the
Shawnee County Horticultural society
today at an all-day picnic meeting at
the McAfee farm.
you can talk about Hood River ap-
pies, but if Kansas farmer-crchardists
would bestow a part of the care la
Dor and expense that Pacific coast hor-
ticulturists do they would produce
vastly finer fruit and make double the
money.
eff some of our Kansas farmers
would forget wheat for while and
establish fruit orchards, Kansas would
be much more wealthy state than
she is. Conditions of all sorts, from
availability of markets TO soil are
ideal
What orchards we have, are many
of them catch-as-catch-can affairs
Kansas farmers have no conception
of the care with which the Pacific
coast orchardists groom their or III
ards. A Kansas orchard as we'll taken
care of as theirs would be a gold
mine.'
Following Mr.. Graham's talk Mrs
Harry Forbes gave a demonstration
of steam canning. Frank Rude gave
a short address on fall gardening

u. S. IN new ROLE
President Wilson Sees America
esprit Among Nations"
Executive Speaks Before the
Citizenship Convention.

Washington, July 13.-Speaking be-
fore the Citizenship convention today,
President Wilson declared America is
intended to be "a spirit among nations
of the world
America, he declared, should be the
finest example of the objects and
ards of the world.
you should find the best way to
introduce to new corners this spirit, -
said the president. TT is not fair to
the multitudes of men and women of
other countries that we should leave
them without that friendly help which
will enable them to find out what
America is like and what she stands
for. These people should be educated
in the same schools that all of us are
educated in, that furnished by the
life of the community to which we be-
long. 1 don't doubt that many a sim
pie soul has been stirred by the Statue
of Liberty. which represents the ideals
of men. Thinking on this has caused
me tc turn on myself the lights of in
vestigation to see if there burned
there the true fire of America, as those
coming in expect to find it.
America Finest Example.
America is intended to be a spirit
among the nations of the world. You
should find the best way to introduce
to newcomers this spirit. America
should be the finest example-not the
only example-of the things which go
to promote the standards of the world
IF we are genuine Americans those
coming over here cannot avoid an in
lection. We must illustrate the ideals
of justice and of liberty.
when you ask a man to become
loyal to this government, when he
comes to America, he thinks he must
be loyal to a few persons. But that
is not our IDEAL We want him to be
loyal to our objects and ideals The
idea of America is not so much that
law should be created for the purpose
OF punishment as for the purpose of
instructing and guiding the people as
to the objects of America That is
why so many hopeful reforms come to
grief. No law can work unless it ex-
presses the sympathy of the COM
munity. If only the minority favor it,
it will not work"

Wednesday evening, only the results
were fortunately not SO disastrous as
they have been anticipating. They
are all pretty certain, however, that a

which cross at this point
And all of the residents around this
corner are still wondering how it was
man living at 1908 West Twelfth
street, was not instantly killed when
the motorcycle he was riding and an
automobile being driven by Frank M.
Bonebrake of 707 Harrison street, and
vice president and cashier of the Mer-
chants National bank, met m col
lision.
Clearinghouse was riding east down
the Douthitt avenue hill and on the
north side of the car tracks. Mr.
Bonebrake was driving north on Polk
street The motorcycle seemed to be
going at the usual rate of speed with
which these machines are operated on
the Topeka streets. The automobile
appeared to be travelling at the ordi-
nary speed that automobiles are driven
around the city in such localities.
The motorcycle shot out from be-
tween the high terraces on the west
side of Polk street, which help to make
the street corner such a dangerous
crossing even for motor-driven vehi-
cles that may be running at ordinary
speed, and it seemed to reach a point
directly in front of the automobile
when the crash came.
Landed in Heap.
Young Clearinghouse hurtled
through the air, and seemed to turn
a somersault before he landed in a
heap on the Douthitt avenue pave
ment, and some six feet or so east of
the Polk street line of curbing His
motorcycle went under Mr.. Bone
brakes car, and the latter did not
stop until it had dragged the motor
so along the east curbing on Polk
street and until one of the front
wheels of the automobile had gone up
over the curbing and onto the parking.
Mr.. Bonebrake and the people OF
the neighbcrhood who ran to the
young mans aid expected to find him
dead, no doubt. But he was breath
ing and he asked them not to touch
him until he could get his breath.
Later he was. helped to his feet and to
house in thu neighborhood where he
remained fer only a little while before
going home in an automobile with
some friends. An examination SUBJ
sequently by a physician showed he
was not injured except as to severe
bruises, and even these were not as
numerous as might have been ex-
pected.
The front of Mr.. Bonebra ke's car
was damaged some, but not enough to
put the car out of commission, by any
means. and the motorcycle had all the
appearance of being pretty badly
wrecked.

BRITAIN WILL NOT QUIT
Somne Offensive Will Continue for
Months if Necessary.

London, July 13.-Premier Asquith,
in announcing the suspension of the
August bank holidays in the house of
commons this afternoon, revealed the
determination of the allies to con-
tinue the great Somme offensive for
months, if necessary, 10 achieve final

The Suspension of workers holiday
is by royal proclamation and for the
purpose of insuring a steady supply

proclamation, the prime minister de-
clared that while there had been a
change of position favorable to the
allies. there was urgent need that the
supply of munitions be continued NOV

SURPRISE TO ALL
Russians Vast Supply of Mu-

TeutOnS Marshal Forces for Big
Fight at KOyel.

London, July 13.-The recovery Of
the Russian armies since their de-
feats of last year and the apparently
inexhaustible supplies of guns and
ammunition with which they are pro-
vided continues to be a source of Won
der to military writer's At least six
great armies are engaged against the
Austrians and Germans on Russia S
western front.
All of them are using great guam
titles of ammunition, even those not
definitely on the offensive.
The forces under Grand Duke
Nicholas in Armenia and Persia have
been fighting vigorously against the
parts of these forces, particularly
those west of Erzerum, were COM
PEELED to fall back in the face of a
stronger Turkish army. Early this
week the grand duke resumed the of

ing with the Austro-German forces of
General Won Linsingen along the line
of the Stokhod river. 1t probably will
be some days before the decision is
reached, as the Teutons have brought
up very strong achievements in the
hope of retaining possession of Kovel,
loss of which would necessitate a re-
grouping over a long stretch of the
front.
All Eyes Again to Verdun.
North of the Pinsk marshes the
fighting at present is largely with ar
tillery. In Galicia the Russian armies
arc reforming for continuation of the
offensive.
In the west the renewed efforts of
the German crown prince at Verdun
temporarily are taking precedence in
the public mind over the battle of the
Somme. The attack just delivered by
the Germans before Verdun is the sew
enth great onslaught with dense
masses of troops since the operations
began some five months ago. The
Germans have made a slight gain but
apparently this has not lessened the
confidence Of the French in their abil-
ity to hold fast. They still have three
solid lines of defense which must be
penetrated before the German object
i've can be gained.
The British are still engaged in
clearing the Germans from their forth
fled positions, which must be taken
before the general offensive can be
renewed
