BLACKBOARD REMINDER
Preparedness Parade Insignia appears
on Board of Trade Wall.

Chicago. May 31.-The space on
the big board of trade blackboard or
dinarily devoted to quotations of pork
prices was so largely given over today
to a big United States coat of arms in
colors that the figures were all but
crowded off. The combination was
said to signify less pork; more pre-
paredness." The coat of arms was
drawn to call attention to directions
for the board of trade contingent OF

equipment, will parade. A Michigan
regiment has been ordered to Texas
to replace the First Kansas. but Will
be assigned to the border and not
here at Fort Sam Houston.
The First regiment, which is to be
the first sent home, according to the
dispatch received here last night is
commanded by Col. Wilder S. Metcalf,
of Lawrence. 1t recently was declared
by General Fred Funston the best ma
tional guard regiment on the Border.
The boys in the First come mostly
from eastern Kansas, the Second regi-
ment. commanded by Perry NJ. Hois-
ington. of Newton, being recruited
from the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth congressional districts.

said today, because L wish to form
and register my own political opin-
ions. Why did I choose Kansas from
among the other suffrage states? Be
cause from my childhood days Kan
sas has personified for me the word
liberty. My father, Henry Brewster
Stanton, one of the early abolitionists,
used to make my young blood tingle
with accounts of the fight to keep
Kansas a free-soil state. Her people
were always liberty loving.
My mother, Elizabeth Cady STAN
ton, had also a stirring story to tell
me of Kansas. This state was the first
to submit to the voters the question
of amending it's constitution by strik-
ing out the word male That was in
1867. My mother campaigned all over
the state at the time of that referen-
dunn. There were then few railways
and many a thrilling tale she had to
tell about driving day after day over
the prairies with Gov. Robinson, the
first governor the state had The
governor drove on this tour two spIen-
did black horses and it stirred my
young soul to know they were called
Stanton and Anthony.

please make it plain" Mrs. Blatch
urged, that men are welcome in the
Woman's Party. This new party is
not a party in a strict political sense,
for it is running no candidates, and
there is but one plank in it's platform.
viz, the national Acknowledgement of
all women Any voter who is ready to
put suffrage first can join the Wom-
ans Party"
To the suggestion that every one in
Kansas is for suffrage first" the
quick rejoinder was. Not a bit of it

Galveston, Oct. 3.-That two Ger

Bremen have fallen into the hands of
the entente allies and that a third
bearing the same name is now enroute
to the United States is the report
brought here by Captain H. Van

today from Barry. Captain Schoonbeck
declares that one of the merchant sub

London, Oct. 3.-American men of
military age who come to England
lust now had better bring along their
birth certificates.
They will need them and more to
convince the British authorities they
are not super slackers.
The super slackers-men who have
failed to register under the military
consumption act-are daily falling
into the net which the war Of
flee has set for them Americans
are being netted in almost every haul
If they fail to have the documentary
evidence handy they are liable to re-

Herd Passengers Into Enclosure.
When a crowded tube train arrived
at its terminus a few days ago, the
male passengers were herded into a
big enclosure. Two men who had
evadcd CONSUMPTION wept. Others
hastily sent for their wives and the
necessary papers. An American news
paper man, whose name is well known
to readers of n big New York paper
was in the catch
He proved his identity when the
opportunity arose and was freed. The
authorities, however, led a score OF
merf off to the district police station
where they spent the night More
than half were super slackers.
The raid system is only part of the
big campaign to rope in the military
shirkers. Careful examination OF
registration cards held by all aliens
is going forward. The Americans, as
we'll as Dutch, Spanish, Swiss, Argen-
tinians and other neutrals are required
