KEEP UP GERMAN
kaiser's Language To Be
Taught in High School.
Stout Unwilling To Give Up
Literary Gems.
ATTENDANCE WILL Be NORMAL
Spanish Added to Curriculum
for the Coming Term.
w. A. Turner Quits Faculty To
Enter Business World.

Spanish will be introduced into the
Topeka High school this fall, accord
ing to A. ]. Stout, principal, who has
just returned from the east. 1t will
be the first class of romance language
to be offered to the Topeka children
thru the high school. MISS Thomp-
son, formerly of the Sumner school,
will take charge of the Spar ish classes
and will succeed Miss Harrison, in the
department of German.
Another change in the faculty of
the high school will be thar Miss Irene
Troxell will succeed Miss Louise Hea tn
as instructor in English. William A.
Turner. formerly instructor in the me-
chanical drawing department of the
high school, presented his resignation
Friday morning. The resi- nation was
accepted this morning in conference
between H B. Wilson, sulerintendent
of schools and A. J. Stout, OF the high
school. Turner will enter the en-
ploy of the International Harvester
company this month.
To Continue German.
The German language will not be
taken from the class program of the
Topeka High school, according to A.
]. Stout. The language VIII be taught
the same as before the wa he stated
this morning. in spite of the threat
ened unpopularity of the course.
Il am not willing to have the stu
dents miss the gems of the world s
literature" Mr.. Stout said this morn
ing, Just to get even with a hated
kaiser. The Americans have no
grudge against the German people out
against their despotic and Autocratic
government" he declared, "and the
president of the United States recog-
nized the fact in his recent speech"
The courses in German Will be Of
fered this fall the same as in other
school years and, according to teach
ers of the high school, will not suffer
for attendance. So the pupils of the
high school may return to their classes
this year, read of Wilhelm Tell Minna
Won Barnhelm and hosts of other
classics of the language

MOST FORCIBLE PAPER.
British Sheet Admires Way Kaiser Is
Called a Liar.

London, Aug. 31.-ThA Saturday
Review referring to President Will
sons note to Pope Benedict as The
most forcible state paper issued dur
ing the war" says:
I'VE cannot remember that ever be-
fore the sovereign of a great nation
with an army and a fleet in existence
has been told that he is liar and a
chief with whom no treaty can be
made. This terrible insult, so amply
deserved, comes with great effect
from nation that is not. like Britain,
a European rival of Germany and
cannot be described as jealous of Ger
man trade"
The Pacifist Nation describes Presi-
dent Wilson's style as the most eff
fective that any living statesman pos
sesses," but as a practical document
the note approaches the formula of
no peace with the Hohenzollerns. The
Nation says that no one has ever been
able to add the forcible achievements
of democracy in Germany to the war
aims, but it still believes that German
evolution toward democracy is pro-
crossing.

NAVY NEEDING MEN
TOpeka's Recruiting Office Notified
of Needs for the War.

The navy needs men and needs
them badly, according to letter re-
ceived this morning at the local re-
cruiting office. Enlistments have
been held up for two months on &C
count of the draft and now the navy
recruiting offices intend to put on one
of the most active campaigns of their
recruiting experience.
To assist local offices in securing
enlistments the navy department has
raised the age limit to Sc years
thrown open the reserve and has
promised to enlist men for the dura-
ton of war. Even many of the strict
physical requirements have been
overlooked.
Among the men most needed at the
time of this first call for men on the
naval reserve are cooks, bakers and
telegraph and radio operators. For
these branches of service even friend
ly aliens who have taken out their
first naturalization papers may be en-
listed.
Firemen, machinists and water ten
ders for station duty at the Great
Lakes training school are included in
this first call for men on the reserve
list One hundred and seventy-five
men are needed for service at the
training station to relieve enlisted
men in the regular service who must
soon go into active sea duty. Men
VINO are well quahf1ed may enlist in
the three departments as reserves and
need not be called from their per-
manent posts. They will be used in
instructing men of the regular serv-
ice before these go on board ship for a
final training.
In the regular service of the navy
there are openings for apprentice sea-
men and firemen, third class. The
age limit for the regular service as
seaman is from Is to 25 and for fire
men from 81 to 80. Firemen, ac-
cording to local recruiting officers
must have had some experience in the
work previous to their enlistment. APP
prentice seamen will be enlisted with
little or no training in any special
branch of work.

UP-TO-DATE HIGHWAY
Farmers Enthusiastic About Improv-
ing Kansas City-Ft. Scott Road.

The people living along the Kansas
City Fort Scott Shore Line, which is
the air line highway from Overland
Park south thru Louisburg, Pleasan-
ton, Fulton and Fort Scott, held a Sc
ries of good roads meetings Thursday
and Friday to make definite arrange
ments to improve this route. State
Engineer w. S. Gearhart, j. Frank
Smith, president of the Good Roads
association, and Jasper T. Kincaid,
member of the state tax commission,
spent the two days comforting with
the people and assisting them in out
lining their program.
Meetings We're held at Stanley, Still
well. Louisburg and Pleasanton. The
people along this route are enthusiast
tic about the Improvement of the road
and want to start the work by first
grading, reducing all i-'lls, eliminat-
ing all railway crossings possible or
make those safe that cannot be avoid
ed. All bad bridges and culverts are
to be rebuilt and the narrow ones
made wider and then surface-coated
with oil. Mr.. Gearhart estimated the
total cost of these improvements at
about S1,150 per mile and a benefit
district is to be formed entirely along
the route and the work all done under
the new road Jaw. The special tax
on the land adjacent to the road will
average duout ~ cents per acre or
S32 to each quarter section. When
the land owners learned that the
work could be done with so small a
tax every farmer became anxious to
see the Improvements started. Many
farmers at the meetings offered to pay
several times the amount of their spe-
cial taxes and some of them three
miles from the road offered to donate
81 per acre for all of their lands to
push the good road
The plans are to maintain the grade
with road oil till such time as they
will feel like adding a concrete OF
brick surface. They believe a paved
road over this highway will be a better
proposition than an electric line and
they have tried for years to get the
latter and failed

DENIES MURDERS NOW
Itinerant Clergyman Repudiates Con-
fession of ViIIisca Axe Killings.

Des Moines, Sept. With the re-
ported reputation of the alleged con-
fession of Lyn George j. Kelly, itin-
Grant clergyman, that he committed
the Villisca axe murders of 1912, some
announcement WAS expected today as
to the effect the situation would have
on his trial in connection with the
murders set for next Tuesday
Kelley, according to H. NJ. Havner
attorney general of Iowa, confessed
yesterday to the county attorney and
sheriff of Harrison county in the Jail
at Logan, Iowa, where he had been
held on an Indictment charging him
with Staying Lena Stillinger, aged II,
one of the eight victims of the axe
murders.
Counsel for Kelly, on the other
hand, announced last night that the
clergyman had repudiated the con-
fession, which Judge A. L. Sutton of
Omaha, one of Kelly's attorneys, said
the minister had been scared into
making"

CLOUDS FOR SUNDAY


prediction made this morning No
showers were in sight but partly
cloudy weather was the forecast. The
temperature will stay we'll below the
80 mark today and tomorrow The
nights, tho, will not be as cool as they
have BEEN The minimum tempera-
ture will probably be above the so
mark.
Partly cloudy weather, probably I'M
settled tonight and Sunday with no
change in temperature was the fore
cast made today.
Light and scattered showers fell
over the entire state within the last
twenty-four hours. The precipitation
measured heavier in the northern sec
tons of the state. Topeka received
.06 of an inch; ST Joseph, .O1; Con-
cordia, .02; Dodge City and Kansas
City both reported no rain while
Wichita reported only a trace.
The mercury Friday night fell to
ST, which was degrees above the
normal night temperature. 1t was
the first night since August 21 that
the Thermometer recorded tempera-
lures above the normal stage. BY 2
O'Clock this afternoon it had risen to
~. Tomorrow will be a practical
duplicate of today.
The highest temperature on record
for this date was SO, in 1912, and the
lowest, 81, in 1915.
The river waas still falling this
morning. The days reading showed
the stage at AT feet, or a foot less
than recorded Friday morning

WON'T SEE LIGHT
Presidents Reply to Pope Con
demned by German Press.
Declares Wilson Doesn't Know
What He Is Talking About.

Amsterdam. Sept. President
Wilson's reference, in his reply to
Pope Benedict's peace proposals to
the German autocracy as distinct from
the German people are commented
upon unfavorably by the German
press. The Tageblatt, of Berlin, says:
president Wilson speaks of de-
mocratiZatiOn of Germany which we
also desire, but it is an internal ques-
ton and one we consider forbidden
territory for foreigners, as q condi-
ton of peace"
Says Fallacy Clear.
The Loka1 Anzeiger says:
The whole fallacy of President
Wilson's argument is clear from the
sentence in regard to the freedom of
nations which are thems elves to de-
eide their own fate. Presi lent Wilson
will not give us freedom to decide for
ourselves but would take it from u.s."
The Morgenpost says:
The German people will not fail to
return the answer which already has
been made once by the president of
the Reichstag with The unanimous ac-
cord of the members of parliament
which is elected on the basis of the
most liberal franchise in the world.
This time however, the answer will
be clearer much clearer
The Vossische Zeilung says:
Probably President Wilson does
not know anything about the declara-
tions of General Soukhomilnoff, for
mer Russian minister of war, now on
trial for treason, and of General jan
uschkevitch, former chief OF the i'm
perial general staff of Russia, con-
corning the real proceedings which
wise he would have changed his tao
tics"

But Reporters Found Him and He
Says He'll Go to Washington.
