HONORED IN CHURCHES
Topekans Hold Services for Martin
Luther, Leader of Reformation.

Reformation services were con-
Quoted Sunday in nearly every one of
Topeka's churches IN observance of
the four hundredth anniversary of the
mailing of the 95 theses to the door of
Wittenburg castle, which was one Of
the most memorable occasions in the
reformation period
Martin Luther is father of all Pro-
testant churches. He is the founder
of freedom of belief and freedom of
thought as taught in all these
churches. 1t is to him that religious
progress is due. His acts during the
reformation period when he rose
against the pope, are the very founda-
ton of modern religion.
Luther, according to the Rev. S. S.
Estey, of the FIRST Presbyterian
church, founded the principles On
which the American and French revo-
lutions were fought and opposed the
autocratic power of a pope in much
the same way as the leading nations
of the world are now opposing the
autocratic power of the German gov
eminent.
DR.. D. NJ. Fisk delivered a stereop-
ticon lecture on the life of Martin
Luther Sunday night at the Central
Congrega church. He related
experiences from the birth of the he
no of religion to the time of his
death, February IS, 1916. The same
First Congregational church and will
be repeated October % at the English
Lutheran church.
Special services in memory of the
Reformation will be held November Z
at the Swedish Lutheran church.

SPY GOLD ALMOST WON
German Fund for Promoting Crimes
and SeditiOn Worst of Three.

Paris, Oct. 15.-Leon Daudet, editor
of L'Action Franchise, who has taken
a prominent part in the exposure of
German intrigue in France, writes un-
der the heading: Il am doing my duty
in the plot against France" That
every one has noticed since the war
began that there was something rot
ten somewhere which delayed the vic
tory of the allies He continues:
This something was German
money employed with the allied coun-
tries. There was the Bolo Pasha fund
for corruption of the press, the Won
Buelow fund for diplomatic intrigues,
and the Hohenlohe fund for promet-
ing crimes and sedition. The last
named fund, in my opinion, was by
far the most important.
ut was employed to promote the
plot, carefully prepared for months
which broke out both in army zone
and the rear formations in May and
June of this year. This plot nearly at
tanned the results hoped for by the
German government.

ASHTON FOR PRESS
Declares Railroads and Nation Owe
Newspapers Debt of Gratitude

Chicago. Oct. 15.--"The only pos
sible solution of the problem with
which the railways were confronted
when this country entered the war
said r. H. Ashton, chairman of the
central department of the railroads
war board. was to increase the
amount of service they could get out
of every mile of track, every engine
and every car.
I'm order to secure the good will
and cooperation of the public in do
ing the things the railroads had to get
before the public the reasons why cars
must be loaded heavier and loaded
and unloaded more promptly, and why
unnecessary passenger service must be
eliminated. This could be done only
thru the press. 1t realized the nations
necessity and periodically has used its
news and editorial columns TO impress
on the public what must be done to in
sure the efficient transportation serV-
ice necessary to help win the war and
maintain the commercial welfare of
the country.
The railways and the nation owe Il
debt of gratitude to the press for the
generous way in which it has explain
ed and commended the aims and ac-
complishments of the railways since
the war began.

TRY THIS TO DANISH
ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS

People who have been tormcntcd
for years-yes, even 50 crippled that
they were unable to help themselves
have been brought back TO robust
health through the mighty power Of
Rhcuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; it brings
in few days the relief YOU have
prayed for. It antaeonizes the poisons
that cause agony and pain in the joints
and muscles and quickly the torturing
soreness completely disappears.
1t is harmless remedy, but sure
and certain, because it is one discov-
cry that has forced rheumatism and
sciatica to yield and disappear.
Try a 50-cent bottle of Rbeuma,
and if you do not get the joyful relief
you expect, your money will be re-
turned Wilfrcd F. Root always has a
supply of Rheuma and guarantees it
to you.
