War Department Interested in Guards
Not in Actual Service.

The federal war department today
called on Charles 1. Martin, adjutant
general, for a list of enlisted men not
on the active service rolls. Special ar
engagements will be made to send this
information to Washington in a few
days. Clerks in the adjutant generals
office have been assigned to the work
and the enlistment rolls will be check
cd at once.
Records sought by the war depart
ment will include men who have en-
listed for service but for various rea-
sons have been transferred from the
active to inactive lists. At the adju-
tant generals office it was announced
that an accurate statement of men on
the inactive list could not be made UNI
til the lists have been thoroly check.
ed. The list will include married men
recently dropped from active service
rolls and will include a number of
other men dropped from the active
list for various reasons. When the
Kansas guards went to the border last
summer, several hundred married men
were dropped. Nearly 100 men were
affected by the governments recent
order to the effect that married men
should be taken from the active ser
vice of the national guards.

PAY ALL GUARDSMEN
Extra Checks for Border Services
Being Sent Out to Kansans.

Kansas national guardsmen today
were receiving benefits from $176,-
OOe windfall by the state legislature.
The money was voted to the national
guards last winter and is the differ
ence between the salaries allowed
commissioned and commissioned
men by the state and that paid by the
federal government.
Checks to the various guardsmen
are for the time of actual service
while on the Mexican border last sum-
mer. A grand total of little more
than $116,000 will go to the men for
their service at Eagle Pass. Clerks in
the office of Charles 1. Martin, adju-
tant general, have been busy the last
month making up the extra payrolls
and issuing vouchers for the men.
Tht first installment of checks was
sent from the state house today and
all men in the Kansas National Guard
service last summer will receive extra
compensation from the state. Kansas
was one of the first states in the ma
ton to respond TO the demand for
extra pay for the Guardsmen

WHEAT REACHES S2.43
Highest Price Ever Recorded Reached
on Topeka Market Today.

Persistent peace rumors failed to
depress the market on the Topeka
board of trade today and trading was
the heaviest for weeks. New record
prices in wheat were set. Buying
started brisk and increased as the day
developed. Some of the trades made
were exceptionally large.
The first sensation of the day was
sprung when a Topeka firm bought a
car of cash wheat at $226 a bushel
This price was outdistanced shortly
afterwards when another car sold for
$2.43 a bushel. thereby establishing a
record for cash wheat higher than
ever in the history of Topeka grain
dealing. One dealer sold ten cars of
No. cash wheat for SABA a bushel.
Similar deals were not out of the or
binary.
Cash wheat ran at 20-cent pre-
MUM over May wheat. The latter on
the Kansas City wire opened at
s2.09k. ranged as high as $2.251s and
closed at $2.24h. which was 1415
cents higher than Wednesdays close.
May corn opened strong at $1.29 u.
and went as high as $1.367s, before
closing

Judge Dana's Absence.

From 10 o'clock this morning until
3 o'clock this afternoon the attorneys
in the Cooper case, in which Ezra
Cooper is charged with the murder of
Burt F. Hurt, argued before the jury.
w. E. Atchison and John Schenck
took two hours in the interests of the
defendant and Robert Carver and
Hugh Fisher used the same amount
of time for the state. The whole case
and all the evidence were gone over
by both sides but from different an
giles.
Hugh Fisher, in his first big case
since he was appointed assistant
county attorney. got away in excep-
tfonally good shape. Half a dozen
old attorneys were in the court room
when he addressed the jury and re-
marked about it.
Judge Whitcomb PreSides.
When Judge Dana closed court
Wednesday he dismissed the jury until
1880 O'Clock this afternoon because it
was necessary for him to be gone this
morning Later arrangements were
made for Judge C. H. Whitcomb of
the second division to sit in his place
and the jurors were called back at
o'clock. Judge Whitcomb presided
at the morning session. From until
10 o'clock today the attorneys spent
the time pickering over matters to go
before the jury.
The intention was that the case
should go to the jury shortly after 8
o'clock this afternoon

RECRUIT MORE GUARDS
Order Companies Filled to 100 Each !;
May Enlarge to $50 Later.

Washington, April 12.-Recruiting
of the National Guard up to 100 a
company. and probably later to $50,
will continue. the war department
said today in answer to inquiries as to
whether recruiting had ceased.
The statement issued by the army
censor said:
fThe war department learned that
the impression exists that recruiting
for national guard organizations is not
to continue. Such an impression is
not correct and in order that it may
be proven department commanders
hate been informed that national
to the maximum peace strength of the
regular army. That strength is 100
per company.
1.-THE guard has a very much lower
percentage strength than the regular
army and sixty-five was the maximum
strength allowed the guard before this
last call into the federal service.
I'VE will probably authorize it to
$50 lHHhen we get the 100 companies
filled"
Recruit Many Artisans.
At the same time the department
said. that its call for 10000 artisans,
clerks, stenogra pliers and the like. for
the quartermaster'S enlisted reserve
corps, is meeting with satisfactory re-
Spouse. Applications for these posi-
tioHfs can be made to the department

FIRST DRILL TO-DAY
Washburn Students Begin
Training for War Service.
One Hour Day Will Be Spent
at New Work.

Recruiting for the tentative mill
tary corps at Washburn started this
afternoon. The suggestions made by
committee of the board of directors
were adopted by the men Wednesday
night in their mass meeting and work
has already started. The corps will
drill late this afternoon on the cam
pus, according to the present plans.
A petition asking for drill not less
than one hour a day was presented to
the meeting and passed. The work of
the school will undoubtedly be dis
turbed by the new ruling, but every
thing will be settled this week. The
details of the work will be taken up at
the faculty meeting this evening.
Credits for the military work will
most probably be given. Some stu
dents will be forced to change their
program but, according to President
Womer, no student will suffer by the
change.
A schedule for drilling and other
military activities will be made by the
faculty. A committee of five students
was appointed at the mass meeting
Wednesday night to represent the stu
dent body at this faculty meeting.

Cairo. April 1.-THE British are
continuing their successes in the
vicinity of GAIA, Palestine. Their
mounted forces have occupied further
Turkish territory to a depth of 15
miles, consolidating strong positions,
menacing GAIA and taking many
prisoners
The losses of the Turks around
GAIA are estimated at 5000, while
the British dead, according to the
reports received were less than 400.
Greatest Battle of War.
London. April 12.-That the Arras
conflict will develop shortly into the
greatest battle of the war was the
prediction made by Major General F.
b. Maurice chief director of military
operations at the war office. in his
weekly interview with The Associated
Press today.
General Maurice declared the pres
ent British offensive was being con-
Quoted according to plans completed
in February. thereby controverting
retreat had upset the British schedule
and that the Teutonic military au-
thorities control the situation.
The British losses during the first
two days of the offensive were only
half what they had been in the cor
responding time III Iie oOHiiiiS VI
fensive, General Maurice declared.
Germans Grow Stronger.
1.-THE past "a hours has been marked
by a general increase in the intensity
of the fighting. The Germans appear
to have been reinforced in the posi-
tions upon which the British assaults
have driven them back, and are offer
ing desperate resistance to the heavy
British pressure.
Various counter attacks were
launched but with the exception at
Bullcourt these met with no success.
Fighting for the key position at
Monchy LIE Preux was very bitter. but
with the British retaining all their
gains and consolidating the position.
Time now is required to get forward
the big guns and to make good the
communications before attempting an
other great stroke

Instructions Issued Today to
Recruiting Officers.
Provides for Withdrawal of
10000 to Train Recruits.
FOG, 349 FOR NATIOaAL GUARDS
This Number Aside From Plan
for Universal Service.
Term of Enlistment Ends When
Peace Is Declared.

Washington, April 1.-THE war de-
partment prepared today to issue in
structions to recruiting officers which
will be in effect a call for 100000 vol
unteers to fill up the regular army
and the existing units of the national
guard.
All recruits enlisted since the declar-
alton of war and those to be enlisted
hereafter will be notified that they
will be discharged at the close of war,
putting therl in the status of wartime
volunteers.
A total of 1855 men already have
been enrolled in the regular army who
will come under such a status. This
number of recruits was accepted dur
ing the first ten days after the pas
sage of the war resolution.
To Test Volunteer System.
An ANALYSIS of the pending admins
tration bill as it affects the regular
army and the National Guard shows
that provision is made for the aosorp-
ton of 517,86S volunteers. OF these
161,519 will be needed to fill up the
regular army and 2O6,349 for the Ma
tional Guard. AS 10000 men must be
withdrawn from these two services
within six months to train the first
500, 900 increment of the selective con-
scription army, their places must be
taken by that number of additional
volunteers. By this plan while alb
sorbing the volunteer spirit of the
country the feasibility of depending
entirely upon volunteers will be dem
onstrated. Army officers are certain
that it will show congress that con-
scription is necessary to maintain an
army adequate to meet the present
situation
Call Out Coast Guards.
Washington, April 12.-Seven COM
panies of national guard coast artillery
troops were called into the federal
service today for police purposes They

Plan BIC THINGS
Y. Nj. C. A. Expects to Make
Many Improvements.
All Debts Will Be Paid if Cam
paign Succeeds.

The Central Y. NJ. c. A. will under
GO a great revolution in the next six
months, according to George H. Hoyes,
secretary of the local association. The
association will put on a financial
campaign starting next Wednesday at
noon, to raise $35, 900, with which the
directors hope to free the institution
from debt, remodel the fourth floor
and to build a new boys department.
For the past five years, the Y. M. c.
A. has been showing a deficit on its
books, in spite of the efforts of the
directors and officers to, cut expenses.
In addition to this it has mortgaged
Indebtedness of $4,000. This is in ad-
dition to $500 which has been Dor
rowed.
After these debts are paid, every
cent of the fund raised at the cam
paign will be used for building i'm
provements. The fourth floor will be
enlarged and finished, giving the
building 81 more dormitory rooms.
The present number Of rooms has
proved insufficient for the member
ship To get room at the Y. NJ. c.
A. is quite a task. At present a wait
ing list is kept of members of the as
ISOLATION who desire quarters in the
building. The financial returns from
these new rooms will nearly make the
dormitory paying proposition
The boys department will receive an
addition to the present quarters, also.
AS the plans now stand $50 more men
and $50 more boys can be accommo-
dated by the additions. The younger
members have entirely outgrown their
basement quarters. Definite plans for
their new location have not been made

Gals are being frowned upon by GER
tain commissioners. Commissioners
Tandy and Porter have been working
for the salary increase for two weeks.

ment. The combinations were unani-
nous. Following are the Officers ap-
pointed for another two years:
