UNITED STATES FIGHTING FOR
 SEA FREEDOM
Representative Kahn Is Certain of Downfall of the DiSloyal
 Citizens.
AGITATORS DEALT WITH

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Ameri- cas- record in upholding her right to sail the seas unmolested was re- viewed in the House by Representa- tive Kahn of California in speech discussing the nations reasons for going to war and calling for dras- tic treatment of agitators who seek to create misconception and SOW seeds of discontent and treason at home.
 For 102 years" he said, "the rights of this country to sail its ships wherever under international law they had the right to go was never questioned until Germany served notice on America that Ger man submarines would sink every American ship found within cer- tain areas of the Atlantic ocean,"
 To have accepted the doctrine, Mir Kahn declared, would have meant the surrender of American sovereignty and to have set prec- edent to be followed on the Pacific if any nation wanted to keep United Statse ships off that ocean.
 Pities Mothers Giving Their Sons.
 Explaining that he did not blame the women of the country who feel their heartstrings torn because their boys are going to the war, the speaker said if the mothers of 179S, 1912 and 1915 had not been willing to sacrifice their boys the American people of today would not be en- toying the blessings of liberty vouchsafed them. Of disloyalty at home MT. Kahn said:
 'I feel that the men who are spreading the seeds of discontent, treason and sedition will be called to account by the civil authorities in every state. Already in a num- Der of the states the governors have asserted themselves. They will do so more frequently in the future. J
 He quoted from letter of Lin coin in 1863 asking: Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who de- serts. while must not touch a hair of willy agitator who induces him to desert?" And answering ''to si- lence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but withal a great mercy"

PLOT TO KILL HORSES
 REVEALED
Believed to Be a Part of Nationwide Scheme Which Centered
 in Chicago.

FORT SHERIDAN, H., Sept. 13.- A poison plot to destroy consign' ment of army horses, which may be part of nationwide spy plot with headquarters in Chicago, has been revealed when four horses at Fort Sheridan died and others be- came ill Secret service men from Hinton Clabet's office in Chicago were notified by Colonel Ryan and upon an analysis being made of the hay being fed to the horses it was discovered that arsenic had been sprinkled on it.
 That the arsenic had been put in the hay while the horses were being shipped through Chicago is the be- lief of the secret service men. They believe it was done while the ship ment was delayed for half day in the stOckyards.

TO BREAK RECORD

DOUGLAS, Sept 13.-Ed McCor mac. William Halvor, H. D. Mcleod and G. A. Buckley left yesterday afternoon for Admiralty Island on a hunting trip. They say they vii demonstrate to other would-be local hunters that the report of scarcity of game is all talk, and that the reason more game has not beer killed is that hunters who have gone after it have not been wise enough to locate it and few of them could hit a deer at greater distance than 30 feet

PICK CAMP SITE
Boy Scouts Will Hold Big Out
ing on Mission Greek.
Date Fixed for the Latter Part
of August.
1T is AN ideal LOCATION
Swimming Pools, Diving Holes,
Interest Everywhere.
Topeka Lads Can Hardly Wait
for Time To Go.

"Sayi where will the summer camp
be, Mr.. Woods?" the scout boys have
been asking the commissioner for sew
eraI weeks.
A few days ago a good scout, with
silver in his hair, who has camped on
many camp grounds in different
states, piloted Mr.. Woods to the Cor
bett ranch, twelve miles west of To-
peka. Together they inspected the big
spring at the ranch touse, they walked
in the dense shade by Mission creek,
they hunted out the small spring flow
ing out of the hill side above the
creek.
There are pools of all sorts-wad-
ing depth, diving depth, good SWIM
ming places. There are rocks, big
and little, mussels and arrow heads in
the creek bed. Above the creek, south
and east, is the range with shelves at
different levels running up to the high
knob that overlooks miles and miles of
farms and ranches. These shelves are
fine locations for tents, and the
mounds are the finest sort for signal
ling, and as hunting grounds for In
dian relies.
Time of Camp.
And so the scout camp is to be on
Mission creek, on the Corbett ranch;
and the latter part of August.
But just now the Adventures of
scout IS OF immediate interest, ana
every scout is on tiptoe to see how
Tom" was brought into the great
scouting gang, bigger and more inter
esting than the tough gang he had
previously run with. There is another
boy, in the film who needed scouting
also, the rich mans son, so well taken
care of he could not climb a fence!
There is a finely laid plot of robbery
and revenge, thrilling incidents that
hold their own in comparison with the
ordinary film. It's a show worth see
ing and more than that, for the benefit
of a cause that deserves support in
Topeka.
Boys Show Interest.
There are more than so scouts here,
and their work is progressing finely.
The scout headquarters is becoming
well known to the working boys down
town; they run in at noon hour, advise
about their scout activities, keep in
line with the work of other troops.
Mr.. Woods, the commissioner, is at
some overnight camp with play
grounds groups of boys made up of
both scouts and boys of scout age
three or four nights each week. The
work is worth while for Topeka boys;
it deserves the support of Topeka peo-
pie.
