PROMISED TO PARSONS
Mayor House Has Assured Chief of
Police of Reappointment.

Mayor House has reassured Harvey
Parsons. chief of police, several times
recently that he would be reappointed
chief of police, according to informa-
ton given out from the Parsons camp
this morning. That statement was
made public following the publica-
ton of a rumor that has been current
in Topeka for three weeks that J. E.
Wilson, another Capper employe
would he placed on the public payroll
as chief of police.
In addition to these assurances,
friends of Parsons doubt the au-
thenticity of the rumOr because of the
loyalty to the police force shown by
the mayor in the recent campaign in
which the force was subjected to eat-
tacks by L. L. Kiene, candidate for
mayor against House. The mayor de-
clared at that time that the police
in protecting the city from crime and
had done more to eradicate persistent
jointists than any force in years.
The appointment of a chief of po-
lice, city attorney, fire marshal and
an assistant fire marshal proba bly,
will be made Monday morning. The
mayor has been anxious to increase
the salaries of these officials and an
ordinance providing for q $50 a month
increase for the city attorney, a $500
year increase for the chief of police
$500 year increase for the fire
marshal and a $500 a year hike for
the assistant fire marshal, was
passed Friday by the city COM
missioners. 1t is published in the To-
peka State Journal, official city paper,
today
The law does not permit the city
commissioners TO increase their sal
aries during their term OF office.
Hence, the Withholding of these ap-
pointments.
SUCH story was never written on
any information given out by me-"

10000 MunitiOn Workers in
Bloody Riot in Prussia.
BREAD CRY OF REVOLUTION.
Berlin Labor Demands Would
End Militarist Regime.
10000 MunitiOn Workers Again
Strike in Berlin.
CBv the Associated Press.)

Interest in the great French often
sive in the Aisne gives way today to
the startling news from the interior
of Germany. Yelled tho the situa-
ton is in the midst of a rigid censor
ship and obscured by the shackled
condition OF the German press, suffi-
cient has leaked thru to indicate that
the German empire is facing a great
economic and political crisis.
The latest information received is
that 900 striking munition workers
have engaged in a bloody riot in the
great Prussian fortress town of
Magdeburg and were only prevented
from burning the city hall after a
sharp clash with the military. This
story comes from the Dutch frontier
with sufficient detail to make its
claims to authenticity impressive. on
it's heels arrives the count of demands
made by the leaders of the Berlin
strike-demands of such a revolution
ary character that compliance would
mean a prompt ending to the militar-
ist regime in the German empire.
Demand Political Prisoners Free.
Similar demands have not been
voiced publicly in Germany since the
imprisonment of DR.. Karl Liebknecht
on a charge of treason. 1t is signifi-
cant that hey include a requisition
for the release of all political pris-
oners. which would include, of course,
the noted Socialist leader. The exact

Local Institutions Lay Aside
S25O,O0O for Purpose.
Place Entire Subscription With
Individual Investors.
THREE MILLIONS IN KANSAS
Banks i'm Other Cities Will Fol-
low Out Plan.
Securities Are Safe and Nom
Assessable, 'Tis Said.

Topeka banks today subscribed for
s250,000 worth of the seven billion
dollar war loan bonds. Certificates
will be issued the banks at once in
lieu of the formal issuance of the
bonds. 1t is the purpose of the local
banks to place the entire subscription
with individual investors.
Plans for handling Topeka's share
of the war loan are being worked out
today by local bankers and indi-
viduals interested in investments in
various securities. 1t is believed that
all of the quarter million dollar issue
to Topeka banks will be taken immed-
lately. Many inquiries have already
been placed with local bankers and
there are a feeling in Topeka today
that the issue would meet an immed-
late demand. The bonds are issued
on II per cent basis and are nom
assessa BILE.
Two and a half to three million dol
lars worth of the war loan bonds will
be held by Kansas investors, according
to estimates by men in touch with
financial conditions in the state Banks
in Wichita, Hutchinson, Independ-
ence, Emporia, Pittsburg and other
Kansas towns have planned to place
subscriptions for the bond certificates
and the issue in this state may reach
the three million dollar mark. 1t is
very doubtful if the banks hold more
than nominal amount of the war
bonds as an investment. The plan
adopted by bankers of the state is to
place the entire issue with individuals
looking for safe, non on-assessable secur-
tiles.
Without Commissions.
Earl Akers, cashier of the Kansas
Reserve State bank, stated TODAY that
his bank would handle their share of
the Topeka issue without commissions
or extra expense to the investor.
I'VE Will care for our share of the
$25O,0OO subscription by Topeka bank
ers, said AkerS, but plan to place
the certificates with the investors
without extra expense or commits
sions.'
1t is probable the certificates will be
issued in denominations of $500 and
$1,000. Plans for handling the war
loan bonds were outlined to bankers
a week ago when Charles NJ. Sawyer,
head of the regional reserve bank in
Kansas City, visited Topeka At that
time Sawyer predicted that the seven
billion dollar bond issue will be readily
absorbed and that Kansans would in
vest heavily in the bonds. Under the
plan now being worked out. it is quite
probably that nearly three million dol
lars worth of the issue will be bought
by Kansans.
st. Louis VIII Take S4.OOO.OOO.
st. Louis, April 21.-More than s4-

issued by the United States will be
taken up Immediately by ST. Louis
bankers. it was learned today from
members of the st. Louis clearing
house
One OF the large banks subscribed
for $750,000 worth of the issue and 1t
is not unlikely that the local figure
will run well above the s5,OOO,OO0
mark

DEMAND PAYMENT
"Pay for Ship or Well Sever
RelatiOns"-Argentina.
Terse Note to Germany De-
clares No Evasion Accepted.

Buenos Aires, April 21.-The gov
ernment has sent to Germany an
energetic note demanding complete
satisfaction for the sinking of the
Argentine sailing ship Monte Prote-
gido. The Argentine minister is in
structed to break off relations imme-
diately if Germany attempts to evade
responsibility for the vessels loss.
The instructions sent to the minister
are that Argentina will permit no
evasion or delay by Germany. He is
told to instruct the Berlin government
that if prompt satisfaction is not
granted, Argentina will follow the
United States and Brazil and will
arm its ships against submarines.
Announcing this today Lanacion
Argentina's leading newspaper de-
clares it understands if Germany's
reply is unsatisfactory President Iri-
goyen will not only break relations
but declare war.
Startling Reports of Revolt.
While Argentina was thus consider
ing all eventualities in the tense situ-
alton, alarming reports were reaching
here as to the increasing gravity of
the German revolt in southern Brazil
Uruguay, near the disaffected section,
today modified its entire standing
army and orderd the militia held in
readiness, according to Montevideo
dispatches, to oppose any attempt by
the Germans TO INVADE Orueuayan Ter
ritory

drastic censorship SO that direct word
of the progress of the revolt was not
obtainable.
1t was announced officially on April
13 that the Monte Protegido had been
sunk by a submarine off the Euro
pean coast. The submarine fired on
the ship, wounding a member of the
crew. The news caused great excite
ment in Argentina and demonstra-
tons against Germany Were organized.
