Copenhagen. July 6.-Tentative sug-

Cor the end of the war are being put
forward in German radical circles.
DIR. Bernhard Dernburg, former secre-

addressing a radical convention in
Schleswig- Ho1stein. that it would be
improper for a reichstag of such out
cf-date origin elected under such diff
ferent conditions, to venture to pass
upon the question of peace.
The Tageblatt points out that the
bill extending the life of the present
reichstag another year, which will be
voted upon this week, would result in
Il seven-year term, which would be
contrary to the constitution.
A bill for the prolongation Of the
life of the reichstag has been ap-
proved by the Bundesrat, or federal
council, according to an Amsterdam
dispatch last night. The reichStag's

Must Wait for Equipment.
Orders To Entrain Are Indefi-

Company A. Kansas Engineers, will
nc entrain for Fort Riley today and
possibly not tomorrow, according to
an announcement made this morning
by Capt. C. L. McLane. commanding
officer of the camp. The whole troop
will await the arrival of equipment,
supposed to be expressed from St
Louis last Saturday.
A request was sent to the Chicago
headquarters of the western division
of the war department asking that
the company be allowed to remain
encamped at Topeka until the neces-
sary equipment was received. The
first shipment of supplies for the
company arrived this week bur only
included cots and squad kits. \ re-
ply to the request was received this
morning stating that Company A
should remain in Topeka until sup
plies came.
Men Want To Be Off
The whole camp is more than
eager to entrain. They await the ar
rival of each train from the east eX-
pecting with every arrival to hear that
their supplies have come. Details of
the company have been stationed at
the depots in Topeka, and are keep
ing lookout for anything that looks
like a government shipment.
But the camp is not all unrest and
discomfort The boys are taking their
delay with the CHEEKY side up. They
have arranged every form of amusa-
ment from mumble-ty-peg to serious
signal practice. Several troopers
have arranged with Topeka misses to
visit the camp with their motor cars
and then these soldiers are free to
ride about the campus and still stay
within bounds of the orders.
Blue shirts. whistle breeches, and
even green caps have found their way
to the camp. Then, too. there are
