KANSAS CITY HAS
PATRIOTISM DAY
Flag Everywhere Displayed
and Parades Testify to
Loyalty of Citizens.
PLEDGE SELVES TO NATION

Kansas City, March 25.-Thou-
lands OF persons brought to climax
last night their observance OF loyalty
day by crowding into Convention
hall to acclaim their patriotism.
Throughout the day the United States
dag was displayed in the business and
residence districts. Every street car
and public building was decorated
and hundreds OF motor cars bore
streamers and flags. Men. women
and children thronged the downtown
streets today carrying small flags or
with red, white and blue knot on coat
apels.
Parades OF state militia organiza-
lions and civilians tonight, preceded
the mass meeting.
The Convention hall gathering had
placed before it resolutions express
ing support of the president and the
nation and approval of the plans for
universal training. Speakers reiter-
ated the belief that the city would do
its share if the crisis developed to a
further break.
United States Senator James A.
Reed said:
IF America is forced into the war
its entrance will absolutely determine
the result and the houses Of Hoben-
zollern and Hapsburg will follow the

The support Of Kansas City was

AMERICANS QUIT
BELGIAN AID TASK
Will Withdraw From German
Territory Because of Prom
ises Disregarded.
WHITLOCK OFF TO HAVRE

Washington, March 24.-Because OF
"the German governments disregard
of its written undertakings for the
protection of Americans and Ameri-
can relief work in Belgium, the State
department announced today that
American Minister Brand Whitlock
had been withdrawn from Brussels
and the staff Of the American COM
mission for relief in Belgium advised
that they should not remain longer
in German occupied territory.
Minister Whitlock, who has been
kept on Belgium territory chiefly to
aid the relief work, will go to Havre,
the temporary capital of the Belgian
government. The withdrawn Ameri-
can relief workers will be replaced by
Dutch citizens, and the commission
through that means will continue from
outside bases as best it can the work
of carrying for 100000 dependent
Belgians.
The departments announcement,
one OF the most severe indictments
of Germany yet drawn by the United
States, recites that restrictions have
been imposed on the Americans,
which under ordinary conditions
would never have been tolerated." and
that Minister Whitlock has been de-
MED diplomatic privileges and cour-
tesy. 1t says that the most serious
disappointment, however, has come
within the last ten days, when several
of the commissions relief ships have
been attacked without warning by
German submarines in fragrant vio-
lation of agreements of the German
government
Whether Germany will continue to
make the relief work difficult for
other administrators is not known
here. The general American execu-
tors, headed by Chairman Herbert
c. Hoover, will continue their efforts
for Belgium and northern France out
side German jurisdiction.

Washington, March 25.-Having
taken virtually every defense measure
possible before the assembling of con-

government are concentrating efforts
to prepare for the more sweeping
steps for which congressional au-

The details of the steps to be rec

today that among the rest a general
military budget, co-ordinating items
of expense deemed imperative will be
laid before the house and senate when

THIRTY DEAD
IN INDIANA STORM
Less Than Dozen of Hundred
Injured Said to Be in
Serious Condition.
RELIEF WORK IS PROMPT

New Albany, Ind, March 25.-Two
additional deaths reported today made
a total of thirty-three persons who
lost their lives because of the storm
here Friday. Three-fourths OF the
wrecked area has been explored and
the list of missing is being reduced
almost hourly by reports from miss
ing persons, who have been cared Tor
in private homes.
OF the 100 or more who were in
jured, it was said probably seventy
five were badly hurt, but that less
than a dozen were in serious condl-
ton.
The institution of relief measures
was prompt. Citizens Of Louisville
subscribed $4,000 and sent motor
trucks loaded with food and clothing.
Later in the day the Chamber of
Commerce here issued an appeal to
the county for aid, estimating that
100000 was needed. State troops
are supervising the work of clearing
away the wreckage and searching the
ruins for bodies.
The first organized effort to est-
mate the property loss was made late
today by committee appointed by
the Chamber of Commerce, the New
Albany Real Estate board and Red
Cross representatives. The commit
tee after an examination OF the devas-
tated districts placed the loss, includ-
ing damaged or destroyed homes and
contents, at 81, $4,000.
When rescuers today examined the
ruins of negro school house, which
was expected to yield a number of
bodies, they found only badly fright
ened but practically unhurt negro boy.

debris, but was protected from harm

Miss Hattie Bowlby Defendant
in Action Brought by Mrs.

ACCOUNTING SOUGHT FOR

Kansas City, March 25.-(Special
Telegram. Mrs. J. A. Beverly, who
week ago ousted Miss Hattie
Bowlby from her husbands apart
lments and resumed her place in his
home after separation of ten years,
filed suit today against Miss Bowlby
for $4,000.
Beverly, former Omaha politician,
and until year ago prominent in in
surance circles, was declared ire
sponsible last week in the probate
court, and placed under the guardian
ship OF his wife He now is in a
sanitarium.
Mrs. Beverly and her adopted
daughter, Miss Bernice De Pierre,
came hurriedly to Kansas City from
Omaha when they were advised that
Beverly was acting queerly. They
found Miss Bowlby in charge OF his
apartments. She had been his secre-
tary and housekeeper for seven years
and had entire charge of his business
affairs.
Mrs. Beverly charges that about
$1,000 worth of property which for
merly had belonged to Mr.. Beverly
is in Miss Bowlby's possession. This
is the property involved.
Two weeks ago it is asserted by
Mrs. Beverly's attorneys that Bever-
ly had $4,000 to his credit in a bank
When the husbands affairs were put
under guardianship it was found
the $1,000 had dwindled to $l00
Among the checks which had beer
drawn and cashed was one of $1,000
to Miss Bowlhy. Beverly's wealth is
estimated at $4,000. =.

Vrooman Urges All to Turn
Their Yards Into Gardens

ment urging that as patriotic duty
city residents transform their yards

their crops as to make each section
self-sustaining, was issued last night
by Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
OF agriculture.
The great need in war time, Mr..
Vrooman said, would be a surplus of
wheat with which the nation could
feed its allies. He also declared
acreage of soy beans and COW peas
should be increased to augment the
resources for protein, which in
emergency could replace meat for hui
man consumption. Two or three
crops of some sort should be raised
during the coming summer, he said,

RUTHLESS ZEP-WAR
AT DEN INITIATION
Horrors of War, With Every
Atrocity, to Be Practiced
Upon 1917 Candidates.
MAKING MUNITIONS NOW

Zeppelins may drop bombs upon
the Ak-Sar- Ben members and visitors
at the Den this year; Taubes and BIZ
planes may swoop down upon them,
ripping the hats and wigs off the
men in the audience; torpedoes may
bore their way through the floor and
explode directly beneath the chairs;
and bayonet charges may be made
upon the multitude with shining, gilt
tering, cold and polished bayonets.
In these strenuous times, with mill
tarism in the air, no initiation thrill
now will thrill like the torpedo or the
Zeppelin. says Gus Rene. No mere
goat riding will furnish the proper
sensation. RENEE is nearly scratching
a pathway down the center OF his
scalp, cogItating over the problems
OF this years initiation. With Dad"
Weaver he has decided they want the
show and initiation this year to have
none of the features of former years,
but that they want it to be entirely
new, and they are giving military and
naval features great deal of thought.
Knighthood Recruiting Lively.
Nearly 700 men have already walked
into the office and handed out their
$40 for this years memberships and
they cannot come any too fast to suit
Samson. Samson wants them to come
trooping right along with those said
tens.
Don't wait until the hustling COM
mittee calls on YOU" said Samson.
Don't make these fellows hustle and
hustle after you and coax and coax
you. They are as busy as you are
and they are giving their own time
to this without pay. Why should you
ask them to keep running after you
when you could just as well pay your
$40 at onces"
There Is an added inducement, too
for those who join now are exempt
from the initiation. They will be
neither "Zepped' nor torpedoed.
