Against Imperialism.

Petrograd. May 16.--Formal appeal
was made by the council # soldiers
and workmen to Socialists in Austria
and Germany not to permit Teutonic
soldiers ito become eXecutioners of
the Russian revolutionary dynasty
The proclamation likewise appealed

nit the triumph of Imperialism"
The message read:
Austrian and German Socialists:
The Russian revolutionary democracy
appeals to you. You cannot permit
your governments troops to become
the eXecutiOners of Russian liberty;
you cannot allow your governments to
take advantage of the joy among Rus
sia's army over newly acquired liberty
and fraternity to hurl troops into the
west front battle to crush France,
then Russia.
afterwards they will crush you
and international proletariat in the
grip of Imperialism.
I'VE appeal to all Socialists, neutral
and belligerent. do not let imperialism
triumph.
May international proletariat

MRS. HUNTER IN RACE
Topeka Woman Candidate for Ladies'
G. A. r. Presidency.

Mrs. Mollie Hunter of Topeka is one
of the leading candidates for depart
ment president of the Ladies of the
G. A. r., which is now holding its an
nual encampment at Salina.
Mrs Hunter was formerly presi-
dent of the Lincoln circle, No l, Lin
coin Post Auxiliary, and in that office
served a most active term. Her nomi-
nation has been recommended, by
Capt. Patrick H. Coney, past depart
ment commander. His recommended
ton states that her election would be
only a deserving honor and on the
other hand would be of mmeasufa BILE
value to the organization.

OPENLY FOR SEPARATE PEACE
ChanceIlor's Words Baited for Russia,
but Starts Grief at Home.

London. May 16.-Formal admis-
sion that Germany is angling officially
for separate peace with Russia was
the main point in Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollwegs reichstag speech
that struck the British press and pub
lie today. Otherwise, the address was
regarded as a mere reorganization of
previous outlines of Germany's aims
but an outline which may possibly
arouse the German Socialists to dras-
tic action.
There was no Disgusting the general
recognition of the seriousness of the
Russian situation here today. 1t was
realized the chancellor baited his hook
with very enticing words to the new
Russian government, but the belief
was expressed that despite disorgani-
cation in Petrograd at the present mo-
ment, the differences in government
there would be ironed out and the
apparent to the new democracy.
England does not expect German
Socialists supinely to take Hollweg's
rebuff of their pleas. Interpreting the
chancellor's speech as a practical sur
render to junkerdom, British official
the Socialist hint of a republic in the
central empires.
The immediate effect of the chan
cellor's sharp words. it was expected
here, would be to add strength to the
Ledebour-Haase anti-government So
cialisu group, and correspondingly to
decrease the Influence of the Scheide-
mann pro-peace, pro-government, So
cialist faction. The Ledebour-Haase
group is scarcely a month old. 1t was
formed when Scheidenann conferred
all his attention on agitating the
Stockholm Social peace conference"
and when rumors of tacit government
backing to that effort began circulat-
ing in Germany. Ledebour is a Social
list of the extreme Liebknecht type
and it is a coincidence that he repre-
sents Liebknecht's old district in the
reichstag.
Berlin dispatches, however, indi-
Gated that even Scheidemann with his
procurement sympathies was great
~ angered by the complete refusal of
the chancellor, to grant any part of the
Socialist request for clear definition of
war aims. He apparently went just as
far as Ledebour in warning the gov
eminent of popular uprising if Ger
many did not more clearly specify her
war ideals.

IT'S NO VACATION
Up at $50 O'Clock, Rockies Are Kept
busy at Fort Riley.

Fort R.ley, Kan, May 16.-"Say
guy, where am 1 going to flop to-
night?''
I'm the guard house"
The question came from a newly
arrived rookie and the answer from
a commissioned officer at the Fort
Riley training camp.
This, and scores of similar incidents
made the first day of the training
course resemble anything but regular
army life yesterday. but today it's the
business Of learning how to fight.
Rockies, who came for a vaca-
ton have been disilluSioned. Getting
up at $50 o'clock yesterday wasn't
so bad but when the reveille sounded
today scores turned over for few min
utes more sleep. Consequently there
were several who waited anxiously the
dinner mess call.
so Fail to Appear.
Practically all of the $500 assign
ed to this post had arrived last night.
About fifty have failed to check in.
Unless these arrive today they will be-
dropped and their places taken by
some of the hundreds on the waiting
lists.
The first practical hike of the three
ordered for this week took place to-
day. The men travelled light, carry
ing no guns or equipment.
Several companies have voted to
contribute SIS of their monthly pay to
fund for '1uxuries' to augment
their regular army ratfons.

ton to the Russian people. signed by
Prince Lvoff, president of the coun-
Gil This statement declared Russia
did not seek to 'humiliate or subju-'
gate" but did not specifically re-
nounce claims to indemnity. The SOL
diers' and workmen's council has
heretofore strongly demanded a pol
icy of mo annexations and no indem-
mites" and it is presumably this rock
of indemnities on which the two forces
in the Russian situation have now
split.
The most vigorous efforts were be-
ing made by both sides to induce NJ.
Gutchkoff. minister of war, to recon-
slider his resignation and participate
in the coalition government as min
lister of national defense"
Coalition was decided upon by the
workmens and soldiers council by a
vote of Al to 10, thus reversing the
p to % vote by which the executive
committee OF that organization pre-
viously rejected such a proposition
from the provisional leaders.
Meeting in Secret.
The meeting was a secret one. IT
was known, however, that the council
was inapelled to its resolution by the
graveSt reports Of diSintegration of
Russia's armies. Speakers recounted
the series of designations of high army
commanders beginning with the minis
ter of war, and including yesterday
such we'll known commanders as Cen
erals Brusiloff and Gurka, and detailed
wholesale desertions of soldiers them
selves.
Il was recognized that Russia's fore
most bulwark was il the army and the
council decided at once to take force
full steps in checking such an alarming
growth.
Miliukoffs elimination from the
government was expected. He has
lacked support from the army and the
workmen ever since his statement Of
war aims. He had been under fire Of
demand that he publish all secret"
treaties in existence between Russia
and the allies and for his reported acz
ton In giving blanket endorsement "a
all compacts previously entered into
with other nations by Gar Nicholas
and the old regime.
Will Publish Cars Treaties.
Publicity for these treaties within
two weeks was promised a group of
soldiers delegates from the front to-
day in a speech by the soldiers and
workmen's leader, Seretell. He frank
ly expressed alarm at the lack of CO.
hesiveness apparent in the army and
urged his auditors to return and work
for unity of action.
Seretell was later commissioned by
his colleagues of the soldiers and
workmen's council to negotiate with
! Gutchkoff and urge him to return to
his post as minister of war. At the
same time it was made known that the
designations of number of other high
army commanders were impending.

TO ENLARGE THE NAVY
Bill Thru Senate to Make Enlisted

Washington, May 16.-The senate

the enlisted strength of the navy to
$50. 200 men, that Of the marine corps
TO 10000 men and granting increases
In pay to the navy's enlisted personnel
equal to those provided for the army
forces.
The German submarine campaign
was discussed in the senlte today dur
ing consideration of the bill, and
raising of pay to conform with the
army increase.
Senator McCumber. Republican of
North Dakota, declared the senate and
the country had not awakened to the
seriousness of the submarine situation
and proposed amendments to create q
board TO investigate all inventions to
check submarines.
Allies i'm Danger.
We are gradually waking up to the
truth that German submarines are de-
stroying more tonnage in a month
than all the shipyards of the world
were able to construct in 1916" he
said. Unless the inventive genius of
the country is utilized in devising pro-
lection to merchant shipping" he de-
clared. there is danger of the allies
being starved before an American
army can be trained and sent to the
trenches"
