WOMEN FIGHTERS
Valiant Americans Who Would
Go to War With Men.
COMPLETE REGIMENT READY.
Colonel N. J. Boardman, One of the
LEADERS of the Woman Warriors,
Thinks If They Can't Go With Our
,saen to France They Should Help
Their Sisters In Russia.

New York.-The American Woman's
League For Self Defense has organized
IN American regiment of women and
plans to send it to the eastern front to
serve beside the Russian womens Le-
gion of Death.
If the government is sending our
men to fight in France We'll go and
fight in Russia" valiantly declares
Colonel n. J. Boardman of the wo-
mans regiment.
1T would not surprise me if as time
goes ON American women did the same
thing. American women are just as
capable and noble as those of Russia.
And when the call comes, and l would
not be surprised if it should, we, too,
WEI see women giving their blood on
the field of battle"
American women are as patriotic
as brave and as physically fit for the
trenches as are the women of Russia"
General Ida Powell Priest, leader of
the leagl1', said. "If the need arises
our woman's regiment is ready to go to
the front and endure all the perils of
the battlefield. My sister said to me
the other day, You won't go abroad.
will you, when have nobody but you?
I answered, I have offered my serv-
ices to my country, and if l am called
I shall go.'

LAFOLLETTE AND HIS KIND

From one end of the country to
the other there is now raging a storm
of denunciation of Senator Robert
NJ. LaFollette, and it is demanded
that he be removed from his high
political station. Probably if a ma
tional vote were taken on the LaFol-
lette ease it would show an over
whelming sentiment in favor of his
removal from the senate and incar-
~ceration until the end of the war.
And why? Because it has developed
that Mr.. L.aFollette has said and done
things that appear seditious. He has
indicated by his sympathies with the
enemies of the United States his I'M
worthiness to the honors that we're
bestowed upon him by his fellow
Americans.
Without in any manner attempt
ing to defend this anti-American
senator, it may be pointed out that
he is ust the same La Toilette today
that he was during the period when
he was the pampered pet of the chau-
tauqua platforms and was sought as
a speaker by r. of organiza-
tions that were ostensibly engaged in
"uplift" work. 1t has been less than
a year since Senator La Toilette had
more invitations to address civic So
%cieties in the United States than he
could accept. A year ago he was
sought after everywhere because he
was considered a performer" and
therefore it was assumed that he
was a better American than the host
of more conservative American pub
lie me who were not sought rs pub
lie speakers because they were re
actionaries." La Toilette is what he
is today not so much because of his
W perverse and Objectionable ma
ture. but because of the American
neople themselves. This man has not
changed, but the people are begin
ming to realize that it is not always
the loud and vociferous Performer
who is the good American.
|, La Toilette is but a type. There
| are many other men of the same
| caliber who have occupied the plat
| forms all over the United States dur
ing the past ten years and who have
been greeted with the cheers and APP
prevail of the American audiences be-
cause thsy have posed as reform
ers." Here in Kansas City La Fol
lette was invited to speak before d
number of civic organizations that
boosted Of being forums" for the
education of the people in a politi-
cal "A He was hailed as a patriot
not because he advocated American
ism, but because he habitually at
tackled public men infinitely better
than he and was the prophet of a
| political creed that was considered
GALVANIZED"

folly. The performer" of yesterday
is the traitor of today. 1t was as
natural that, in the face of a great
emergency, calling for devotion to
country, these Performers" should
have developed their true c%olors, as
for water to run down hill. Conser-
vative and honest newspapers for
years have denounced La Toilette and
all that brood Of political charletans
who have made capital out of a fleet
ing popularity. These newspapers
were themselves denounced by the
hysterical but thoughtless element of
the public that believed national sal
walton lay in the adoption of all the
theories and isms Of the "reform'
school of politics.
1t is a strange phase of the pub
lie mind that it will resent the advo-
| cacy Of restraint and caution in max.

covered for what they are, to go tC

GOOD WORK BY RAILROADS.
From The. New York Herald

From The. New York Herald.
Officers and men of some of the
military commands sent to Southern
camps are extremely critical of de-
lays to which they have been sub
jected by the railways. Out of a
few isolated cases there has been
built by some of the captious an in
dictment of the railway system of
the country, upon which is based a
demand for government ownership.
AS is invariably the case, the protag-
onists of government ownership fail
to cite any branch of the government
~senvice that is being conducted bet
ter-or aswell-but that omission
does not in the least hamper them in
the business they have in hand. which
is agitation.
In view Of the extraordinary de
mands made upon the railways by war
conditions it would be strange in
deed if there were not some delays.
Not Il day passes but there is com
plaint of delays in the handling of
the mails, and yet the ~postoffice de-
partment is not under any eXtraor-
binary strain. The fact is that the
railways deserve praise for what they
are accomplishing under war condi-
tons. not balme. Fairfax Harrison,
chairman of the railroads war board.
has shown that since April 80 the
car shortages have been reduced by
20 per cent. This very necessary
war measure has been accomplished
by the cooperation of shippers, by
tn reduction of passenger service and
by increased efficiency of operation.
The problem with which the rail
ways were confronted at the out
breaw of the wal has so far been met
with notable success. Instead of in
dulging in the once popular pastime
of damning the railways just ION
principle" Americans have good rea-
son to join in praising them for the
goood results they have achieved.

DUSTIN FARNUM AT
 FOX THEATER TODAY

Good news for local movie-fans is found in the announcement of to- days Fox feature, which is the tri- umphal and long -wished-for return of that whirlwind hero and screen idol Dustin Farnum in the latest and best punch production that will last forever, "Durand of the Bad-Lands." The name is enough to guarantee &C., ton of the and-up-and-fght type. and the magnetic personality of the star is all manifest in this new veee hicle, in which he plays a daring, devil-may-care two-handed outlaw of the West, and three lovable kids. Enough said-the picture talks for itself.
 And another thing: Charlie Chaplin is going to do his bit to make the show a little better than even the Fox standard. For he is here with his million dollar feet and three-cent moustach in one of the funniest two reelers he ever made, "The Bank" A Metro comedy, in which the laugh setter of a different kind, Ralph Herz, appears, will. be shown, as will the entertaining and instructive Ford Weekly.

RICHARDS CIRCUS
 VISITS THIS CITY

One of the most brilliant and clean the streets of this city heralded this morning the arrival of the R. T. Richards Supreme Show of the World All that was claimed was shown free on the streets and the new and spark ling wagons, the we'll groomed horses, the floats of red and gold showed bet ter than words can tell that the new circus venture is indeed worthy of a. place with the great circuses of the world.
 The parade started from the show grounds on Stanley street and passing through the main thoroughfares, was reviewed by most of the local residents and many visitors from out of town who expressed their approval Of course all of the children for miles around were on hand and their gleeful laughter and Chs! and Ans! of sur prise and delight gave proof enough that a real, big circus parade was passing.
 Nearly a mile in length the parade showed besides the wagons and floats, 150 horses, a herd of huge elephants, many camels, zebras and sacred cattle from India. More than 200 men and women robed in magnificent costumes took part on horseback and atop the wagons while military bands, band wagons and compressed air calliopes provided lively music. Many clowns enlivened the stately procession.
 The show grounds gave added evil dence of the completeness of equip ment and efficiency Of the organization of the new circus. There was a big crowd to watch the tents being erected and shortly before noon when the side show opened there was rush for the ticket booths. The first performance started at o'clock and when the en- frances were thrown open one hour be- fore a. real crowd had collected to visit the menagerie before entering the main show tent.
 The performance, up to the time Of going to press was one of the best ever seen in this vicinity. There will be another performance at o'clock this evening. the doors opening at o'clock
