HOLIDAY WHEN
Topeka TROOPS
GO TO MEXICO
Immense Demonstration for the
March of Battery A.
Unfurl Flags and Banners at
Call of the Bugle.
EVERYTHING PACKED, READY
Materials and Equipment Can
Be Handed Out Quickly.
Sons of Veterans Will Be in
Charge of Display.
EVERYTHING PACKED, READY
Materials and Equipment Can
Be Handed Out Quickly.
Sons of Veterans Will Be in
Charge of Display.

Topeka will display her patriotism
and declare a holiday when Kansas
troops are called to the Mexican bor-
der. That is the plan agitated today
by members of the Topeka order of
the Sons of Veterans. Their program
calls for a demonstration for Battery
A, and it is probable that the plan
for patriotic display will be made
state wide.
No word came to Topeka today
from the war department in Washing
ton. Failure to receive orders, how
ever. did not delay the work in the
offices of Charles l. Martin. adjutant
general, and materials and equipment
of the state troops are packed and
will answer at once any call from the
federal government, officers of the ma
tional guard declared.
As soon as the call for Kansas
troops is received from Washington,
public announcement will be made.
John w. Fisher of the Sons of Vet
Grams today urged that Topekans dec
crate their homes and office buildings
with national colors. Under the plan
advanced by old soldiers and sons of
veterans, thousands of flags will prob
ably be displayed in Topeka, whistles
VIII be blown and a real demOnStra-
ton will mark the calling of the Kan
sas troops.
Would Like to Go Himself.
81 wish 1 were 35 years younger
that L might go too sadly remarked
Fisher today But you can bet 1
will do my best to show Battery A,
that 1 am with them. 1 think all To-
peka feels the same. The same spirit
is in every section of the state and
the demonstration ought to be state
wide" y
Notice will be sent to Kansas towns
as soon as the call is received. Patri-
otic demonstrations will be made in
many of the towns where companies
of the national guard are enlisted.
When Memorial Hall was dedicated,
more than 1900 4x7 feet Americans
flags were distributed among To-
pekans- Veterans in Topeka want the
flags unfurled in tribute to state
troops as soon as the call is issued.
The plan will be urged today among
business and professional men. Gov
ernor Capper will be asked to urge
officially a demonstration. The plan
calls for the decoration of hundreds of
homes and business houses in Topeka.
General Charles 1. Martin, who has
been in Washington for a week, will
probably return to Topeka Saturday or
Sunday. In event call for the ma
tional guard should be issued in his
absence, officials in charge of the Of
flee are ready for immediate response.

BUSTLE AND STIR.

How shall we account for the diff
erencc between conversions forty
years ago and conversions today?
Forty years ago most conversions
were accompanied by loud shouts, ne
robatic lcapings and stntcmcnsL of
peculiar experiences and feelings,
sights and sounds.
And in fact the church demanded
some of these evidences before ne
knowlcdging "sound conversion"
Today the church GLADLY accepts all
who come upon their own statement
Of faith in the Lord Jesus, turning
from sin and promising an obedienl
Christian life. Does the church ask
too little today, or did it ask too
much forty years ago? Forty years
ago the church wanted proof of
your conversion the day you were
converted. Now, it says, "by your
fruits yc shall know them" and lets
you prove it by the life you live.
AS these mysterious experiences OF
feelings, sights and sounds seem not
to have been part of conversion,
and are no longer needed to prove n
conversion, we are not surprised at
them being no longer used. w. f.

SUFFRAGE NEWS.

Another great Canadian province

women. The bill to give them full
