NAB A "C0MBINE"
Officers Get Bone Dry ViOlatOrs
and Big Supply.
They Were Using Train and
Auto to Evade Capture.

Strategy of an alleged bootlegging
combine, formed recently by four To-
pekans, was disGrganized completely
by the Topeka police force late Tues
day afternoon. The object of the
combine, so to speak, was to get al
coholic beverages into Topeka without
being arrested as bone dry violators.
1t happened this way:
Tuesday morning Oscar Gay and
William Thompson caught a train to
Kansas City. The police have
learned that anything a certain Glen
tile including these two. do might
pies Conviction among the police
that something should be done about
the trip grew considerably half-hour
later when they learned from a re-
liable source that Luther McClelland
and Maybelle Bridges had hired Ray
Basket, a jitney driver, to take them
to Granville. A squad of policemen,
in a motor car, followed the jitney.
When a Union Pacific train stopped
Gay and Thompson, carrying some
thing bulky, stepped from a car door
and carried their loads toward the jit-
ney containing Maybelle and McClel-
land. When the packages were brok-
en- by the police two cases of whisky
were disclosed
Today all four of the combine are
in the county Jail charged with violat-
ing the bone dry law to the extent of
importing liquor into the state. War
rants have been issued from the court
of TOpeka

Many Prominent Labor Leaders
for Universal Training.
Chicago and n. Y. FederatiOns
Declare It's Safeguard.

Chicago. April 1S.-Following the
patriotic declaration of organized Ia
Dor that no demands for change in
standards shall be made in the pres
ont national crisis, or no strikes shall
he called until after investigation by
the labor committee on national de-
Tense. prominent labor officials are de-
claring themselves in favor of univer-
sal military training and service.
James P. Holland. president of the
state Federation of Labor of New
York, in statement said; The
American Federation of Labor. thru
it's executive council. has strongly en-
dorsed the fundamentals of universal
military training. This endorsement
has been given because there is
neither class nor caste in the move
ment; because it is broadly demo-
cratic; because it is the antithesis of
militarism; because it will be valu-
able for the physical, mental and
moral development of the citizens; be-
cause it will promote a better under
standing between men and because it
is not a training for aggression, hut
a safeguard against oppression. 1t
will give the United States a sounder
patriotism. The principle of equal
rights in a democracy demands uni
versal service.
The state Federation OIL La Dor or
New York. in line with the policy of
constructive patriotism formulated by
the American Federation of Labor,
endorses the movement for universal
military training
Simon O'Donne1l, president of the
Building Trades Council of Chicago,
which represents more than 100000
organized workmen in the building in
dustry, said: Defense of the country
defense should not be left to chance.
All should be required to do their part
on equal terms. Universal military
training and service should be made a
fixed policy of our government. 1t is
the only democratic way; the only
method by which we IAN provide an
adequate citizen-army for the defense
of the nation and at the same time
preserve our domestic ideals. 1 am a
firm believer in universal military
training and service AID hope to see
the principle embodied in the organic
law of our country"

GOOD HEALTH DRIVE
DIR. Clark Urges School Authorities to
Watch Pupils Closely.

Efforts to reduce ill-health among
school children to a minimum this
spring were put forth today by DR..
H. L. Clark, city health director. Let
ters to every public school superin-
tendent in the city were sent out to-
day by Doctor Clark who urged that
steps be taken to provide students
with an additional amount of fresh
air because of the rapidly moderating
spring weather.
Doctor Clark also asked that all
children with colds and sore threats
be sent home, in an effort to stamp out
contagious ailments.
If such throat ailments are symp-
toms of contagious diseases, which
they often are, three days out of
school will give time for development
without other pupils being exposed,
the letter points out. Doctor Clark as
serts that contagious ailments among
school children in the city now include
measles, chicken pox, whooping
cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria.

Travelling Corps of Farm Hands
to Till u. S. Lands.
To Put Crops on 100000 Idle
Acres This Season.
LIKE A MILITARY SYSTEM
Organize Farm Machinery Into
Cooperative Batteries"
Secretary of Interior Lane Out
lines Plan for House.

Washington. April 1S.-Creation of
a travelling corps of farm laborers to
work on irrigated lands of the country
is the novel proposal of Secretary
Lane to further the nationwide cam
paign to increase food production dur
ing the war.
The plan was outlined today in a
communication to Chairman Taylor of
the house irrigation committee in
which the secretary urged prompt ac-
ton on the pending bill designed to
and public lands within irrigation
projects. This legislation he says, is
necessary to his plan.
I'VE have" Secretary Lane wrote,
"a little more than 100000 acres of
land within our reclamation projects
on which water may be placed this
season. The utilization of all this land
l hope can be done in a wholesale
way by the creation of an equipped
and mobile organization of farm
labor.
Plant War Maintenance Crops.
ION every one of our projects-as
in every county in the United States
there are considerable bodies of idle
arabic land. Some of these are lying
idle because of lack of farm imple-
mentS and capital Our hope is that
on each project there be organized at
business of which it will be to see
that all idle acres are put to use and
that all farm labor acts as a unit.
Each company in this corps should
have as many gang plows and har-
rows and seeders as can be bought
or borrowed.
Around these implements, the far
mers should be organized just as they
are organized around field gun, and
each of these companies should move
from field to field until the land al
lotted to it in the project has been
plowed and planted. In this way, one
man can do the work of twenty or
more in a day. If the farmers are
organized in this way, with proper
machinery at their disposition, I can
see no need of a shortage in farm la
Dor. The farmer who has a tractor
should see that the tractor is turned
into a community machine. Farm
work can be done just as systematic
cally as road building or trench fight
ing. We should have at our disposal
enough money to pay wages and buy
seed.
Work Private Lands Too.
THE mass of the farmers in the
corps could be repaid for their work
by having their own farms cultivated.
Instead of having the farmers COM
pete with each other for labor and
for seed by this means, each project
can be organized into cooperative
commonwealth producing the greatest
possible amount of food.
The first step after organization
should be securing of the right to use
all unused private land as is unused"

BACK ARMY PLAN $4,000 IN STRIKE
Berlin MunitiOn Plants Among
Industries Affected.
Crowds Gather at Castle and
DenOunce Food Control.

Copenhagen, April 1S.-Via Lon
don.-The number of strikers in Ber-
lin is placed in the semi-official news
papers at $4,000 and is distributed
according to the Tageblatt thru ma
chine works, some electrical estab-
lishments and part of the munition
plants.
The latter statement is interesting
in view of a dispatch from the official
news bureau denying that the munition
factory was affected The Tageblatt
says, however, that the great munitiOn
industry at Spandau has not been in
voived.
Great crowds gathered near the
castle during the day and the crowd,
particularly the women, is described
as having been very bitter. The Strik-
ers denounced the farmers, the whole
salers and the government for respon-
sibility for the food situation. Even
Socialist leaders who opposed the
strike made it evident that a further
curtailment of rations from any cause
could not be borne.
Labor representatives interview
ed Lord Mayor Wermuth and the
Prussian food commissioner, Michael
is, yesterday. They were given an as
hoped will induce the workmen to
abandon the strike.
No reports of a strike movement in
labor centers outside Berlin have been

ground that she was demented from

Strike Spreads to Warsaw.
Copenhagen, April 18.-A strike has
