Mobilization date-August .
Every unit in the Kansas National
Guards will be placed on full war
footing before mobilization August s..
Following announcement of the war
department today that Kansas guards
men would be called into federal
service August 5, plans were immedi-
ately outlined in the office of Charles
/. Martin, adjutant general to bring
all guard units to full war strength.
Details of the mobilization call have
not been received by the adjutant gem
eraL However, there is a belief in
guard circles that all units provided
under the national guard bill of 1916,
will be called to the colors. While
no official notice has come to Topeka
il is believed that the Kansas guards
will be modified at Fort Riley with
thousands of troopers from other
states.
May Train New Army
One of the theories advanced in
state house circles today was to the
effect that the national guardsmen,
enrolled under the federal call as reg
ular army men, Will be used in train
ing the new men called under the
CONSUMPTION bill.
Plans have practically been COM
pleted for the units of the new Third
infantry regiment. Work is also be-
ing rushed in organizing the new regi-
ment of cavalry. Now details are to
be considered in the organization of
the regiment of artillery. of which
Battery A, Topeka, will be a unit
One plan advanced this week provided
for the organization of Il second bat
terry in Topeka.
With ten weeks in which to COM
plete the work, national guard officers
must recruit between e,0O0 and 1000
men for the various departments OF
army service.
Arrangements have virtually been
completed for the enlistment of many
of these men. Numerous guard COM
panies now on peace strength footing
have announced waiting lists which
will bring their companies to war foot
ing as soon as the mobilization is per-
fected. With the official announcement
from the war department for mobili-
cation of the Kansas troops August 5,
men in touch with army conditions
believe there will be no trouble m
meeting the demands of the govern
ment.
To Join With Missouri
When the authorized guard units are
filled and formal mobilization is per-
fected. Kansas will unite with Mis-
souri, in filling the ranks of the new
Fourteenth infantry brigade of 1000
men-nearly 1000 of whom Will come
from Kansas. The Kansas contribu-
ton to the brigade will be 1O,53S in
the ranks and 450 commissioned and
non-commissioned officers.
Formal notice of mobilization plans
will probably reach the adjutant gen.
erals office late this afternoon. Plans
for organization of the various units,
however have been in charge of Cen
eral Martin for several weeks and are
being carried out in the formation OF
new guard companies in almost every
county and district in the state.

Washington Officials Fear
German Plot System"
Will Renew Activities
-F-nn Inc tribune Burra. !


Washington. Feb. 4 Fear Of the
German spy system Is manifest on
every hand in official Washington. This
fear is slightly tinctured by the hope
that the German sympathizers in the
United States, even should war come,
would assume the attitude taken by
their compstriots in Canada, whore
outrages such as the blowing up Of
munitions plants were less frequent
than in the United States at the same
period.
The Department Of Justice secret
service is known 20 be busy, but the
lid has been clamped down tight By At
torney General Gregory.
Cautiously enough. one Of the things
which is causing this branch Of the
government the most concern rs the
completeness with which all neutrality
violations, as they were called then,
ceased Immediately after the deporta-
ton Of Boy-Ed and Won Papen, VINO had
been directing this propaganda.
The remarkable shutting down Of
activities by the propagandists a that
time" said an official of the depart
ment. whose name cannot De used be-
cause Of the Attorney Generals injunc-
ton, twas rather an evidence Of
strength than OF weakness. l. would
seem that anything which could be
stopped all over the United States As
though by the pressing Of a button
could be started again with the same
thoroughness. Our task was amazing
ly simplifed By this cessation, for II
was not nearly as difficult to deal with
cranks as with an organized propa-
ganda with wonderfully good brain
at its head"

Comparison Of our aeronautical equip
with that of any proportionately great
European power fills one with sense
of impotence. Great Britain, for in

to be somewhat less fit aeronautically
than Germany-has between 5000 and

times that number OF aeroplanes. It
has several thousand balloons and a
few-very few dirigibles.

nautics. England-and il was no Sc

money on American machines and

TELLS HOW PREPAREDNESS
BROUGHT LONG PEACE TO U. S
Naval Instructor Shows That Wars Be
gan When America Was Not Prepared


Harold c. Washburn. instructor IN
the United States Naval Academy, has
Just printed = timely article on univer-
sal military training and preparedness,
entitled "The American Blind Spot
Published By the United States Naval
Institute, il has received favorable COM
ment from Rear Admiral Fiske.
The authors conclusion is that when
ignorance gives way to knowledge the
United States will adopt universal COM
pulsory training
Referring to Daciists as "purblind,'
Mr.. Washburn says: Those who are
besotted with this extraordinary mental
twist have brought forth the following
argument, Preparedness for war causes
war The reply 20 their argument is
found in American history. We have
never been thoroughly prepared for
war. except al one brief period -imme-
diately after the Civil War.
AT the only period Of our history
when we were thoroughly prepared for
war. when our army and navy both
were the most formidable in the world.
the United States forced two great for
eign nations 70 accede TO its terms on
two grave questions affecting our rights
Great Britain settled the Alabama
claims and France withdrew from Mex
leo. This country then entered upon
the longest period of peace we have
ever enjoyed. a period Of thirty-three
years. This peace of thirty-three years,
following our one period Of prepared
ness. should be contrasted with the
wars we have waged when we were IN
our normal state of unpreparedness."
