and Sounds Preparedness Note.

Toxic, June 20.-Peril in the world
situation which will follow the war is
seen by Count Terauchi, premier. A
warning against the post-bellum crisis
and an admonition that Japan prepare
to face it formed the keynote of a
speech delivered by the premier re-
Gently before the conference of pre-
fectural governors in Toxic.
1.-THE past half year has witnessed
a further extension of the war" he
said, Threatening to involve the whole
world in it's woefu1 meshes. Such be-
ing the case, it is incumbent on the
entire nation to unite it's effort to meet
the needs of the present perilous sit
uation.''
Referring to Americas entrance
into the war. the premier said that be-
sides being a matter of congratulation
for the allied powers. it was particu-
larly satisfactory to Japan because it
had greatly strengthened the ties of
interest binding the two nations.
Count Terauchi referred to the re-
cent trend of japanese thought and
declared:
1T is unavoidable that changing
times will bring about changes in the
thought of the people. 1t is, how
ever, deeply to be regretted that the
atmosphere in our world of current
discussion is of late more or less
charged with the spirit of careless
abandonment

gone forth unhesitatingly to meet the
onslaughts of ruthless enemy, rath-

self respect.
The American people have been

unflinching heroism of the Belgian
people and their sovereign and there
is not one among us who does not
today welcome the opportunity of ex-
pressing to you our heartfelt sympa-
they and friendship and our solemn

stored to the place she has so richly
won among the self respecting and re-
spected nations of the earth"

DISBANDS A UNIT
W. A. Holland Raised Part of
Roosevelt Volunteers.
Union Pacific Man Notified to
Dissolve Local Contingent.

w. A Holland, Union Pacific spe-
ciaI officer. recently received a per-
sonal letter from Theodore Roosevelt,
informing him that a unit which Hol-
land had organized for the Roosevelt
army should be disbanded. Holland,
who recently succeeded Special Off
Ger Gaines, is personal friend of
Roosevelt. He fought under him in
Cuba. He has served in the United
States marine corps, and was with the
famous battleship fleet which made a
cruise around the world during Roose-
Velt's administration.
When plans for the new army were
announced, Holland, as one of the real
vets of the Spanish war, raised several
companies of men for the expedition.
The action of the president doomed
the hopes of the Rough Riders. and
Roosevelt sent to each of them a per-
sonal letter explaining the action of
President Wilson and outlining what
the organization had hoped to accom-
plish.
In his letter the ex-president says:
Il now release you and all your men.
l wish to express my deep sense of
obligation to you and to all those who
had volunteered under and in cOnnec-
ton with this division.

START A BEAR" RAID
RumOr Govt to Control Railroads
Causes Market Tumble.

New York, June 20.-A strong bear
raid, simultaneous with an unfounded
rumor that the government had de-
cided to take over operation of rail-
roads and steel mills, caused prices
on the stock market to tumble down
from one to four points early this aft
ernoon.
United States steel sold off nearly
three points from its early high and
there were sharp declines in other
steels. American sugar dropped "a,

ARGENTINA WAIVERS

Buenos Aires, June 20.-An impress

Argentina's neutrality in the war is
strengthened by the fact that several
members of the presidents party have
taken a stand in favor of adhesion to
the policy of the United States. 1t is
probable a bill dealing with the ques-
ton will be introduced in parliament.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

The new bridge being built by the
county commissioners north of the
Industrial school, on Shanty creek,
forms a dangerous point for autoists
on the Holton road. The Shanty
creek bridge is only twenty feet long.
By tearing out the old bridge the
road was blocked and persons APP
preaching Topeka on the Holton road
must make a detour of two miles.
Farmers in the neighborhood as
sert that in two hours workmen could
construct a temporary bridge from
timbers of the old one, and prevent
the road from being closed. The
bridge was torn out Monday. No
railing or guards were erected to bar
the road, and no lights placed to warn
approaching vehicles of the danger.
Monday night a motorist escaped by
the narrowest margin from being
thrown with his car down the en-
bankment.
Farmers have protested to Albert
James. who is in charge of the work.
The unnecessary blocking of so heav-
iIy travelled a road leads to great in
convenience, and in this case to dan
ger from lack of protecting barriers,
it is asserted.
