this brings him under the per cent

Nothing Zapp replied. except to
tell him when him and his family is

wife would call round there with once

But joking aside" Birsky said, the
United States was able TO pay it's bills
before they had an income tax and
everybody was satisfied, whereas now
adays they don't raise no more money
by it and everybody is kicking. so what
is the use Of an income tax anyway"

said, "it don't DO no harm that once in

CERMANY'S PLANS.
TeutOns Work for Separate
Peace With e. s.
Then, With Russia Eliminated,
Victory Will Be Easy.
DESIRE TO PLACATE WILSON
Apparent Decentralization of
Nation Is Bait Extended.
Uncle Sam Does Not Demand
Kaiser's AbdicatiOn.
BY d. NJ. EDWARDS.

Washington, Sept 6.-Peace de-
ve1opments today presented new and
subtle manifestation of German state
craft. Observers now predict that
Germany has these steps in mind for
the disruption of the entente thru a
separate peace with the United States
and Russia-Russia conquered and the
United States placated:
Pushing home the latest Riga drive
and SO extending it that Russia will
be brought to her knees.
Demonstration or apparent demo-
cratiZation of the German empire and
a demand that President Wilson then
accept the German guarantees and
make peace.
Resistance of the other allies to the
last ditch in their demands for the
German colonies, Alsace-Lorraine, the
independence of the Balkan and the
Hungarian states and the elimination
of the Turk from Europe.
Such a program undoubtedly is in
the mind of the German command, il
was admitted by officials here today
But other considerations were pointed
out, further defining the position of
the United States and the opinion of
the state department precluding any
success for the German scheme. They
were:
Other Considerations.
Both factions in Russia-Kerensky
and Korniloff-have pledged against
separate peace. A separate peace Of
fer has been turned down already by
the provisional government.
The United States does not demand
the kaiser's abdication, but it does re-
serve to itself the right to pass judg-
ment on the genuineness of the re-
sponsibility of the German government
to the German people before taking
peace guarantees.
President Wilson's reply to the pope
may be interpreted as substantiating
the demands of the allies for territory
in many respects, and in no wise can
be considered to mean that the United
States will break from the entente as
soon as the Hohenzollerns are "out"
in Germany.
Guarantees Demanded.
Further frank discussion of the po-
litical requirements which the United
States will impose upon Germany was
permitted at the state department to-
day. Asked if the United States had
determined what guarantees she
would demand of reformed Germany
a high official of the state department
said:
1.-The United States will be judge of
all guarantees that will be presented -
Further asked if the United States
would demand the elimination of the
Hohenzollerns, he said, with empha-
sis:
I'VE have not said so. The presi-
dents note does not make any such
demand"
The department again intimated the
political unrest in Germany was by no
means at an end and that the agita-
ton of the Erzberger party would be
continued and might result in i'm
portant developments.
A man who has been close to the
president in several of the great diplo-
matte crises said today that while the
characterization of Germany was the
sine qua non of peace discussions, JUS
tice to small nations was an equally
necessary point to be insisted on by
the United States in such discussions.

MERCHANTS In TROUBLE
Government Food Supply Officials
Encounter Poor Cooperation.

Trouble is brewing for a few To-
peka merchants who have not re-
sponded in the proper spirit to the
governments probe into their stock
on hands. That was a statement
made today by j. E. Earnshaw. gov
eminent man in Topeka making the
survey.
Notes have been made concerning
these people, said Mr.. Earnshaw,
and if the blanks are not ready for
collection at the required time, some
embarrassment may be caused the de-
linquents under the penalties provid-
ed. The completed forms are re-
quired in Washington by Septem-
Der 10.
Generally, the merchants affected
are responding in fine spirit and no
delays in the completion of the forms
are anticipated AS usual, however,
in an undertaking of this nature a
few have been inclined to treat the
obligation imposed upon them by the
law as a matter not to be seriously
considered"

KANSAS BOYS TOGETHER
Uncle Sam Plans to Keep Local Men
in Same Camp at Funston.

Camp Funston, Kan, Sept 6.-As
far as possible, every man in the ma
tional army will be assigned to units
that come from his own locality. This
will tend to make them feel more
at home and better satisfied. A gem
eral plan has been outlined by Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the
Eighty-ninth division. and it will be
followed as closely possible.
This is the way the men will be as
signed, for the present at least:
Kansans will be assigned to the
353d infantry.
Western Missouri, 356th infantry
Eastern Missouri, 354th infantry.
Nebraska. 355th infantry.
Omaha, Neb., 341st machine gun
battalion.
Southern Missouri. \342d field artiI-
1ery.
Men from river counties in Missouri
will be assigned to the 314th engi-
neers, where their boating experience
will come in handy. Men from the
Ozark district of Missouri will be as
signed to the same regiment, to act
as woodsmen and miners. Those who
will act as mechanics in the regiment
will be taken from the cities of Mis-
souri,.
Colorado, 341st field artillery
Arizona, 340th field ARTILLERY,
South Dakota, 340th machine gun
battalion.
New Mexico, 342d machine gun bat
TALON.
There will be some changes, of
course, but no more than can be help
line will be placed where their serv-
ices are most needed. and sometimes
1t will be necessary to transfer them
to other regiments
