Defiance Of Censorship

Havre, France.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. THE Bel
gian government authorities here
have received information of the con-
tinued appearance of patriotic news
papers at Brussels and throughout
Belgium, in defiance of the German
censorship and despite all the efforts
of the German military police. 1t is
one of the mysteries of the German
occupation of Belgium how these
secret papers can be published, where
they engrave their cartoons ridicul-
ing the Germans, and how they set
the type and circulate the papers.
There is a price of $4,000 marks
on the head of the editor of the Free
Belgium but it keeps an appearing
just the same. Several Of the sup
posed editors have been shot. One
man was sentenced to twelve years
hard labor, others to three and elev-
en- years, and woman, Madame
Scheupens, to five years. But each
time that supposed editor is i'm
prisoned and the German authorities
feel the trouble is ended, the paper
appears the following day more lusty
than ever with a cartoon making fun
of the prosecution.
A file is kept here of these secret
papers, as almatter of curiosity. Free
Belgium, which has given the most
trouble, prints the following notices
under its title:
"a bulletin Of patriotism, submit
ting to no censorship whatever.
Price per copy, elastic, from zero
to infinity.
Business Office: Not being handy
to have an established address, we
are installed in a movable automo-
bile cellar.
Advertisements: Business being
nil under German domination, we
have suppressed our advertising
page and counsel our patrons to keep
their money till times get better.

FAyORs COUNTY ENGINEERS
w. s. Gearhart Sees Marked Improve.
ment in the Roads Under One
Man Supervision.

A marked improvement in Kansas
roads is noticeable in all parts of
the state and especially In those
counties where the road work has
been placed under the direct super
vision of county engineer.
County boards are beginning to
realize that their many other duties
make 1t impossible for them to give
proper attention to the county roads"
said w. s. Gearhart, state highway
engineer. Where the county en-
gineer and county boards work CO.
operatvely much good work is done
and 1t is done more efficiently than
could possibly have been done by the
board alone. Under this system, now
pelng carried out in number of the
counties, the county board determines
what road work shall be done and the
county engineer is made directly re-
sponsible for carrying out their plans.
sentiment in favor of better roads
Tor Kansas is increasing rapidly be-
cause SO many persons have had op-
portunity to observe what other
states are doing along this line. The
earth roads in this state are the best
IN the country, but 1t is hard to keep
them in repair, especially In wet
seasons. The summer rains of 1915
caused the bottom to drop out of the
earth roads and they are Just now
being brought back into their former
condition.
Roads are being built with the
Idea OF permanency. In many COM
munities temporary makeshifts are
no longer tolerated. Cement culverts
replace dilapidated bridges and all
other road improvement is of a more
durable character than formerly"

TO LOBBY FOR THE KlDDlES
Teachers Of the State Are Working
for Compulsory kindergarten
Law for Kansas.

A lobby for the youngsters of Kan
sas is going to be in evidence at the
state legislature the next session. 1t
is to be directed by the teachers and
the object is the establishment of kin
dergarten schools in the state.
The present law provides that
boards Of education may establish kin
dergartens il they care to do so. Most
OF them have not shown any great
zeal in their establishment. The
teachers are working for an amend
ment to the law which will make it
mandatory for boards to establish
kindergartens whenever the par
ents of twenty-five or more children
between the ages of and 6 years,
living within mile of public school,
shall petition the board for a kinder
garten. Only in case all the legal tax
levy is actually required for the grades
above kindergarten may the board re-
fuse to establish a kindergarten.
Miss Louise M. Alder. head Of the
kindergarten department at the state
normal college at Emporia, has worked
dergarten work, which has been al
lowed to lag in Kansas, and her
efforts have brought about the hearty
Endorsement of the kindergarten
amendment by the members of the
state teachers association. The
teachers are at work now on members
Of the next legislature.

Al recent issue OF Free Belgium
gave cartoon by 'Raemaker, adapt
ed from Gustave Dore's Scenes in
He'll, showing women and children
in agony as they are trampled down
by a soldier in German helmet, the
face of the soldier being evidently
meant for that of the Kaiser. An
other cartoon, entitled Loves Cha

the military commander of Brussels,
trying to find the editor Of Free Bel
GUM in cellars and attics, while the
number showed the Germans Zen

floating in the river.
L'Echo, another Of the secret jour
nails, announces that 1t prints what
censored journals dare, not and can
not say" A recent number gave the
speech of Premier Asquith in the
house of commons, declaring there
would be no peace until Belgium was
free. The editorial was headed:
"Teuton Pirates and Vandals."
Other secret newspapers are La
Verite and the Flemish Lion. There
is also Weekly Review of the
French Press, giving articles which
have been prohibited from being pub
lished in Belgium. Illustrated books

are depicted on wheels. A big sun,
labelled Free Belgium, smiles down
derisively at Won Bissing's vain eff
forts to capture the editors.
La Patrie is another Of these sec
ret newspapers. 1t announces under
its title that it is "non-censored
journal, appearing how, where and
when it pleases." Another line states
that it is in the second year of its
publication. The bitterness of this
paper is shown in a standing line car

ferring to the Germans as barbara

some engravings and colored maps,

The sheets, mechanically, are even
better than those issued at Paris and
London, showing there must be a
large and first class duplicating pro-
cess somewhere beyond the power of
the Germans to discover.
The Belgian officials themselves do
not know how this work is done, and
it is simply incomprehensible how
all this editing, publishing, printing,
circulating, getting the requisite
white paper and ink, drawing car
toons, engraving and lithographing,
and all the innumerable details of
getting out newspapers, weeklies,
books and press service, can be &C
complished in secret with the Ger
man police straining every nerve and
offering prices on the heads of edit
ors. 1t takes courage and ingenuity
to be an editor in Belgium under
these conditions.

ecutive ability. He has been, for many
years, connected with the Curtis

various places in the country, one of
the principal branch establishments

the deceased for many years. This in
stitution employed, large number of
men, the pay roll being not less than
900, all Of whom were under the di.
rect management OF Mr.. Curtis.
The deceased was not only prOmi:
nent as business man, but in the at
fairs OF the city in which he lived. He
has been one of the leading republi.

frequently found attending state and
national republican conventions. He
was man of pleasing appearance, as
scores of people residing here who
remember him can verify

by his family and home town, but by
a host of other people who knew him
and admired him.

LOWEST RECORD FOR TARIFF
RATES.

A low record for the Underwood
law as a revenue producer was chalk

The average duty rate for the week
was ST., the worst showing thus far
made by the Underwood tariff since its
enactment in October, 1913. Presi

ought to be proud of the Christmas
present to Uncle Sam which their tar
iii folly produced. On imports valuel
at $3O,799.642, entered at the Is prin-

States, revenue was collected In the
sum Of $2,6S5,S66. That accounts for
