PLAN BATTALION HERE
Art Hargis Says Home Guards Will
Have Big Organization.

Topeka home guards are to be real
home guards according to Art Hargis,
commander of the company, and they
will be some size, too. Topeka, ac-
cording to the present plans of the
organization, will furnish a complete
battalion of home guards composed of
nearly 400 men.
The home guards will drill tonight
on the north side of the state house
grounds to the military music of the
Old Abe camp drum and fife corps.
1t will be the first attempt at real
military music drill that the company
has had since its organization.
The program for enlistment calls
for the corporation of all the business
house of the city. Each company,
thru the manager of the concern, is
expected to enlist from five to fifty
men in the organization. Uniforms
will probably be purchased for the
enlisted men by firms of the city who
do not employ ment and cannot offer
services to the company in any other
way than by giving supplies.
The women of the city, too, have
promised their cooperation in the
home guard movement. Plans are
now under discussion by several of
the women's clubs of the city. The
plans call for assistance in transpor-
tation and movement of the home
guards and supplies in case they are
called to duty within the county The
women will act as chauffeurs, drivers
and ide-de-camps for the enlisted
men. They have even offered to adopt
a uniform, pants, shirt and all in their
field work with the men.

READY FOR BIG DAY
Wednesday the Time for the Women
of Kansas to Rally.

THE women who sit at home and
do nothing but criticize the efforts of
the government to keep this country
from feeling the pinch of hunger in
the months to come, are, to say the
very least Indifferent to the country's
fate and blind to their own interests"
said Mrs David W. Mulvane, state
chairman of the woman's committee
of the council of defense. Mrs. Null
vane and her helpers are preparing
for registration day, when the women
of Kansas will be given an opportunity
to help the government in making a
food survey and in conserving food.
and also help by offering what service
they are fitted to give. Mr.. Hoover"
Mrs. Mulvane continued, has been in
Belgium and seen the horrors of a
scarcity of food the slow death of the
aged and the children from under
nourishment. 1t is his work to save
this nation from that fate, and he
should have the cooperation of every
woman in America, who, with faith
to serve, both herself and the nation,
should go on record as willing to save
the food supply to the best of her
ability and to assist in putting in Mr.
Hoover's hand the information he will
have to have in order to do his best
work in the handling of the food stu
alton"
Wednesday, September 5, has been
designated by Governor Capper as
registration day for Kansas. This is
in line with the request of Herbert
Hoover working with the national
woman's committee. The food pledge
is prepared by Mr.. Hoover; the regis
tration for service card has been
planned by the census department
after study of similar movements in
Europe; the registration next Wednes-
day is official and adequate to be of
real help to the government.
The registration is entirely volun-
tary, and every woman fills out her
card as she desires. The war is on,
and the more the country has of 10y
atty. unanimity and enthusiasm, the
sooner it will be finished. Registra-
ton will not oblige any woman to do
anything she doesn't want to do, but
it will enroll her where she belongs
and give her official recognition for
what she is already doing.

Belief That Germany Is Now
Talking Decentralization.
Same Coalition of First Cabinet
Crisis Is Active.
MAY MAKE KAISER GIVE IN
At Least To Surrender Certain
of His Old Prerogatives.
CIericals, or Catholics, Stirred
by Pope Peace Plan.

London, Sept. 4.-Germany is be-
ginning to talk characterization now
as the first step toward peace.
Berlin news via Holland today an
nounced that at the session of the
reichstag converting September 26, the
same coalition of the Centrists and
Social Democrats which precipitated
the German cabinet crisis in July
would again seek surrender by the
kaiser and his ministers of certain of
their prerogativeS.
Emphasis was laid on this revolt"
as part of a well defined yielding to
peace.
London could see little in the Berlin
reports today provocative of hope of
real German reform. 1t was the same
sort of a revolt" of the left parties
of the reichstag last July which dis
placed Won Bethmann- Hollweg for the
profoundly junker Michaelis. The re-
VOTERS are those who apparently were
| content to rest after a few additional
and empty promises of reform from
the new chancellor. London has al
ways suspected that Matthias Err
berger, the clerical leader, and his
cohorts were used by the government
to favor a reform move by which the
government might GUST Won Beth
MANN ollweg. They may be in use
now, again.
Stirred by Peace Plea.
On the other hand, the clericals are
the Catholic party of Germany and
have been profoundly stirred by Pope
Bened1ct's peace plea. They may also
have been equally stirred by Presi-
dent Wilson's reply. laying down
dem ocratization as the prime requisite
to discussion of peace with Germany.
Erzberger, according to Dutch re-
ports, expects to inagurate his cam
paign at the next meeting of the main
| committee, presumably next week. His
plan is to make the chancellor respon-
sible to the reichstag, not to the kais-
er. He likewise desires that the gov
eminent shall announce its minimum
peace demands and clear up the sit
uation as regards the German view
on AlSace and Lorraine -.

THE GRAND.

Based on 100 per cent reality, and
with theme half dream and half
prophecy, Tbos. H. Ince's masterpiece
Civilization opened at the Grand
theater Monday matinee.
Civilization" is one of the few films
in existence upon which cities may
heap all their adjectives of approval
and not make themselves ridiculous
The picture tells the story of a king
who started war of butchery, saw
agery and suffering. Here Ince seized
his opportunity to hew to 100 per cent
reality. A battle in the trenches is
portrayed as it has never before been
shown on a film. one can almost
hear the screams of sufferers in the
hospitals. Then comes the allegoric
part coupled with reality
Ince picture shows tho thin Dor
derland between earth and eternity
adhering to Dante's inferno in some
parts He shows The Master of all
Kings returning to earth N an effort
to again bring peace on earth and
good will to man.
Reading deep in the film the audi
ence sees in the earthly war lord-the
king who started the war-a por-
trayal of the kaiser and an Indictment
of the murderer of womer and little
children.
Ince's masterpiece was made two
years or more ago and it is evident
for a part of the prophecy he depicts
seems fair to come true. He dreamed
then of a great uprising of the women
the mothers of men-in the war
ridden country and their demand for
peace. Last week the telegraph car
ried a dispatch to Topeka. The dis
patch said: THE women of Germany
may have a hand in the moulding of
peace thru a revolt for the end of the
war H. e. c.
THE MAJESTIC.
The Irish" Ed Lucas musical tab
loid company opened at the Majestic
Monday afternoon for a seasons run.
The vehicle staged was "a Trip to
Japan" instead of .McCa5e in Paris
which will be put on the last three
days of the week
Mondays performances C e d
that musical tabloid can be made sue
cessful in Topeka. 1t contains a GER
tain brand of spice that a Topeka
audience likes and if the Lucas COM
pany irons out the rough spots it will
go big. The chorus of ten girls is, on
the whole, a good looking bunch and
half of them. insofar as looks are con-
cerned, are above the average.
