The president and his cabinet seem
bent on having congress enact a law
that will restrain newspaper comment
Dp the conduct Of the war. The presi.
.dent feels that newspaper criticism
may thwart the plans of the admins.
trAtiOn In carrying out his war meas
.uIes. This action on the part Of the
government to entirely restrain publ.
city Of what is going on seems I'M
necessary and quite too imperialistic
TO suit the judgement Of the ordinary
American citizen. We assume there
are times during the progress OF the
war when what the government is do
ing should be kept secret, but to
G36the the administration with the
power in this respect, which it is de-
u)anding, we think Is going too far
ard might result In serious injustice

4 ans' Of the country. II the measure
f1ich the president is advocating,
,bould become law, It would be plac.
SinE entirely too much power in the
lAnds Of one person to exercise even
u time OF war. 1t may be argued that
lille the president is given this pow
q he would not exercise 1t, but ex.
nrience teaches that it is the disposi.

efct It.

was urged to make a donation and ITO
give until the donor felt that he was
hurt in giving. It was urged that any
thing short OF this would not be- max.
ing proper sacrifice for the good OF
the country, and every person is now
expected to make some sacrifice in
behalf OF the nation.
The giving on Sunday night proved
| the patriotism of those who attended
the meeting and a willingness to make
| the sacrifice for the public welfare.
The donations were confined
largely to towns in the coun'
ty, because the farming community
was not represented but in a limited
way at the meeting. The obligation
of the farming community is quite as
strong to support the Fed Cross
movement as upon the people living in
the towns. Every business man and
every farmer should enlist in this
great cause of raising money to pur-
chase hospital supplies and other nee
essaries for the comfort of the SOL
diers. 1t is the intention to extend
the movement to the country and to
have a canvass made of the country
in order to secure subscriptions or
other aid for the Red Cross. 1t is not
absolutely necessary that donations
shall be made in money, but property,
grain. livestock or anything Of value
will be accepted when donated. liza

the things which people are willing to

farmer prefers to turn over stock of
any kind, or grain, and will commune

society, provision will be made for &C.
cepting and caring for anything that
may be brought in to be donated for
this exalted purpose.
The appeal is made not only to the
business men, the merchants, the
bankers and all professional men in
town, but included in the appeal are
the farmers of the county and they
are solicited to do their part in this
great work. Let us SEQ to it that from
now on Crawford county shall be.

give all we can give and make every
other sacrifice short of enlisting as
soldiers to 80 forth to battle for our
country, and yet the sacrifice which
we are called upon TO- make will be
far short of that which the soldiers
who arc enlisting will be called upon
to make.

GIVES HIM A. CHANCE
Brave Topeka Girl, Wronged, Will
Marry Man If He Works.

There is a chance for Roy Haslet
to keep out of the penitentiary and
that chance lies in his own hands.
All he has to do is to get a job and
keep it.
Haslet is charged in a complaint
sworn to by Elda Thayer, a 17-year-
old girl, with a statutory offense
against her. She has been in Topeka
for six months or more having come
from Wichita to work in a restaurant.
In order to escape punishment Has
let has offered to marry the girl. In
spite of her youth and her lack of
experience she showed spirit and wis
dom when the matter was checked up
to her by county officials. She mott
fed them that while she might agree
to marry Haslet in order to settle the
matter, she would not consider it for
a minute unless he got a job and went
to work with a determination to pro-
vide a home for her.
That is the way matters stand at
present Hugh Fisher, assistant coun-
ty attorney, has had them together
and is said to have signified his will
fngness to drop the prosecution of
Haslet if matters can be patched up
with a marriage license Both Haslet
and the girl are said to be under age
but that might be arranged if Haslet
got a job and went to work.
Haslet and the girl were originally
arrested on suspicion by James Nc
Govern. city detective. He questioned
the girl carefully and eventually she
told of the relations between her and
Haslet. Following that a warrant was
issued for HaSlet.

the rising tide of indignation against
Germany in Scandinavia and Spain.
The herman faction in Sweden
has been powerfully reinforced by the
action of the Germans in sinking three
Swedish grain ships, in violation of
their own agreement to respect the
safety of the vessels. Spain is still
awaiting a reply to her protest over
the sinking of the Spanish steamer
Patricio, also destroyed while sailing
under a German guarantee, and the
tone of the Spanish press is increas-
ingIy peremptory in its demand that
Germany be compelled to respect
Spanish rights.
The effect the course of events is
having on the German people remains
pra ctically unknown. The German
censorship has reached a point of un-
paralleIed efficiency and the little
news that trickled across the frontier
of the central empires offers scant
basis even for speculation.
Continue Fight on HoIlweg.
Apparently the war of the pan
Germans and junkers on Chancellor
Won Bethmann Hollweg is going mer-
riIy on but there is nothing to indi-
cate what effect it is having on the
emperor, sole arbiter of the premier's
destiny The junkers claim to have
enlisted Field Marshal Won linden
burg but the issue presumably will
remain in allegiance until the reichstag
reconvenes on July 5.

WORK is ACCEPTED
Topeka Red Cross Articles Were Not
Made in Vain.

Word has been received by the COM
mittee in charge of Red Cross work in
Topeka that all the articles made in
the work room of the Crosby Broth
ers' store, has been accepted. A ru-
NOR has been current that the work
had not been properly done and was
new set of instructions have been is
sued No. 1874, which will replace the
old set, No. 126. However. the arti-
cles made according to the older rules
will all be used.
In addition to bandages, sings, etc.
that the workers have been making.
sheets and pillow cases are now to be
made. Any one who has not yet
learned TIE making of the other ar
ticles can work on the sheets and
pillow cases without special instruc-
ton.
Mrs. Nat Black, who has returned
from Chicago, will begin instruction
in the making of surgical dressings
in the Red Cross work room on the
third floor of Crosby Brothers store
Anyone who cares to can learn this
work without charge A fee of $500
is charged for a course which quail
flies one as a teacher with card ane
cap from Washington. But for any
one who wants to learn it for the as
sistance she can give in Red Cross
work, the class is open and free.

Germans Slowly Yielding.
The German armies in France are
slowly yielding ground before the re
lentiess pressure exercised by Generals
HaiG and Petain and the vital question
Is whether their morale can be main
tanned under the terrific pounding to
which they are subjected day and
night. Apparently the allied COM
manders have abandoned the policy of
sudden thrusts at chosen points and
arc relying on a constant hammering
over wide front in the belief that
sooner or later the German ring must
break While there is little immediate
prospect of sensat ionaI developments
in the battle area, the political situa-
ton remains fraught with many pos
sbilities.
The latest news from Russia indi-
Gates that the crisis in that country
continues acute and the menace of
chaos still throws its shadow over the
future. The Russian radicals are APP
parently as determined as ever to re-
1eCt the war program of England and
France. but they show almost as much
reluctance as Berlin to define their
precise aims A conference is project
