ACTED UNOFFICIALLY
L. $ Army Officers in Petrograd Had
No Orders to Answer BOIshevil&i.

Washington, Dec. st was official
~ declared today at the state depart
ment that both Lieutenant Colonel
Judson. head of the American mill
tary mission in Russia and Maj. NJ G
Kerth, temporary military attache at
the American embassy. acted without
instructions from this government in
presenting communications to the
Bolsheviki government on the atti-
tude of the United States in the effort
to effect separate peace and armistice
with Germany.
Major Kerth's communication was
a protest to the Russian commander
in-chief against an armistice. Col
JudsOu's communication was couched
in more lenient terms. The discrep-
ancies between the two mysthed Off
Gals and it was not made clear until
today that the action of the two Off
GERS, taken in view Of circumstances
was not on instructions from Wash
ington.
The state department today had no
dispatches from Russia It has pre-
viousIy been announced officially that
the attitude Of the government toward
the BolShevik was one OF tolerance,
hoping to preserve what progress has
been made toward democracy in Rus
STA rather than risk throwing the
country hack into the hands Of an
autocracy by drastic action

HAD A SMALL HOUSE
Topeka Gave 1.-THE Old Homestead"
Slim Audience Tuesday Night

A back to the farm movement in
the revival of the comedy drama, The
Old Homestead didn't find merited
support in Topeka It was slim
house that applauded the comic role
of 81 Condit who as Joshua Whitcomb
carried the leading part in a most
appreciate manner last night at the
Grand theater.
The quaint picturesqueness of
the farm of the New Hampshire hills
went further than ordinary stage
scenery, It included a flock of we'll
trained Plymouth Rock chickens-the
kind with feathers On-that proceeded
TO pick grains of corn from the stage
and meander about in most honey
fashion. unperturbed by the glare of
footlights.
The original play became a nation
al favorite so years ago. The char
acters in the main are quaint, rural
peopIe-quaint of COARSE to laugh
able exaggeration- The sudden con-
trast of a couple scenes of New
York City life intervene to give the
whole a desirable variety The strain
of pathos running thru the play in
wolves Uncle Josh's" search for his
missing son and the ultimate rescue
of him, "a brand from the burning"
Happy Jack, the inevitable tramp"
a rube quartet and the closing scene
of a country dance found favor with
the audience.

REAL PATRIOTS, THESE
Lebanon High school Girls Offer
Draft Services.

Superintendent NJ. 1. Coldwen and
twelve girls in the Lebanon, Smith
county. high school today offered
their services to Governor Capper in
connection with the selective draft
They told the governor they would
volunteer their services in any cleri-
cal or advisory capacity desired in
connection with the work of the local
and district boards
The Lebanon school is the first
Kansas school to offer volunteer ser
vice in connection with the selective
draft work It is probable some of
the Lebanon volunteers may be asked
to aid in the work of the Smith county
exemption board
Smith county ranked as one of the
most patriotic counties in the state in
filling military ranks with volunteers.
Nearly twenty Lebanon boys enrolled
in the naval service and were sent to
the Great Lakes training station. Many

Baby Bonds Important.
The baby bond drive is just as i'm
portant to the cause of democracy as
either of the recent liberty loans, and
they are identical except that the
baby bond is accessible to the man
who has only an occasional quarter
that he can divert from the upkeep Of
his family. And it gives the children
a chance to feel some small share of
responsibility and teaches them that
much as upon the fathers and moth
ers for funds to carry the war to a
successful conclusion.
The financial institutions of Topeka
report sales tota1ling from $25 to $50
for the three days sale. The post
office leads the list. and would nearly
equal the total. sales of the other in
situations with one SS4 sale of war
savings certificates this morning The
Bank of Topeka reports a total sale
of about $50.
In spite of the somewhat discour-
aging opening. we are expecting the
people of Topeka and Shawnee cOun-
~ to send this section of the state to
a complete sale of its quota long be-
fore the close of the active campaign
Always DeIOre We nave leu the AIiStl
and it's a lead pipe cinch we aren' T
going to fall back at this stage of the
game. Topeka is just as patriotic as
it ever was and will swamp the dis
tributors just as soon as it wakes up
to the fact that the government is not
entirely altruistic in the sale of baby
bonds. We feel that the children es-
pecially will come to the front at this
their first opportunity to take a direct
part in the war" This was the SEN
timent expressed at many o. the
banks this morning
McAdoo's statement.
In presenting the baby bond cam
paign to the people. Secretary McAdoo
Ct the United States treasury says:
when we put a million and a half
soldiers in the field. we withdraw
those men from productive enter
prises. They do not white they are
actually in training or in service pro-
duce anything they do, on the 9TH
er hand, consume much. There is
nothing more expensive on earth than
to support and maintain a great trmy
in the field, especially if it is on the
fighting line. The attritiOn of sup
plies and everything else is tremen-
dOusly great when We have a great
fighting army in the field.
America is the one great remain
ing StorehouSe in the world of sup
plies and credit We must maintain
a--d make effective as possible our
own soldiers and the soldiers OF those
nations who are fighting for US We
must therefore draw as little as pos
sible upon our common store of sup
plies and money The more We les
sen our domestic demand, the more we
can contribute to the support and ef-
( fectiveness of our allied armies.
Economy is now a national duty
such a duty upon the people at home
as fighting is upon those Americans
i who are bravely offering their lives
I for the honor of America and the
preservation of liberty and Justice

FEW CARS IN SHOPS
Santa Fe Keeping Them Rolling a.
Long as Possible.

Less than ? per cent of cars owned
by the Santa Fe railway are in the
shops for repairs as the result of eff
forts I-.ade by the road to keep roll
ing stock fit for operation to as large
an extent as possible. according to
John Purcell, assistant to the vice
president of the company, with offices
in Chicago. Purcell has returned to
Chicago after a brief trip to Topeka
The number of cars in the shops
for repairs, according to Purcell, is
less than 2,060- The Santa Fe owns
about 100000 cars. A special effort
by the Santa Fe to keep all the roll
ing stock in as good order as possible
was started when the war threw its
monster burden on the railroads.
