'Opeka Organization About Re-
cruited to War Strength.
N aShburn Platoon VIII Very
Likely Be Formed Now.
:HLISTMENTS ON INCREASE
Tany TOpekans Would Like to
Be "Sure- Enough Heroes"
Braids and BrOadclOth of Off
3 GERS Appeal to Others.

S Battery A will be recruited to run
war strength with several men extra
Ia tomorrow, it was asserted today by
capt w. p. MacLean, commanding
the organization. Twenty applicants
Including high school boys, clerks and
farmers sons, appeared at the armory
before noon today. Captain MacLean
said the most of them would be ac-
cepted. The statement followed the
inspection of the men. This number
is the largest that has applied for en-
listment during one day since the
European crisis brought about state
of war between this country and Ger
many.
In addition to the twenty applicants
today, Captain MacLean said that at
least fifteen Washburn students VINO
have already taken the physical eX-
animation will appear at the armory
tomorrow and enlist. The battery
tional Washburn men will follow these
fifteen students to bring the number
up to 81 which is required to form
an extra firing platoon.
To Form Platoon.
Captain MacLean said there is lit
tie doubt but that this platoon Will be
formed entirely of Washburn men
organization up to six field guns. In
addition to the Washburn platoon Of
ficers of the battery expect to add two
machine guns to the organization if
the provision authorizing the extra
equipment is authorized by the war
department. The department now has
a provision giving all field artillery
units the extra guns under considera-
ton.
Recruiting at the naval station here
was stimulated today. Two new re-
Cruits will leave this afternoon for the
Great Lakes training station. They
are, John Fay Wayland of Washing
ton, Kan, and Charles Brown of Sheri-
dan Lake. Colo. In addition to these
two men four others made application
TO join the navy today but have not
yet been examined.
Many Would BE Heroes.
There was also an increase in the
number of applicants and informa-
ton seekers at the army recruiting
station today. However, it seemed to
be the rule that Topekans want to
be heroes in the full sense of the word
or nothing at all. Several inquirers
wanted to enlist in the aero corps. The
job of riding a horse to fame in the
cavalry or plodding along as a lOwly
doughboy didn't appeal and the most
of the would-be lmmlemanns and
Phil Billiards were sympathized with
and turned down. because of the rigid
examinations members of the flying
corps must stand. None of the appli-
cants today could pass the physical
or mental tests. One man was too
short and another was better fitted for
a second cook in an infantry company.
There are a number of men needed
in the regular army to dig trenches or
fight in the same. Men Who would
make good teamsters or artillerymen

AMENDMENT OF CHARTER PROPOSED

All street improvements in Salem stopped. This
the statement made by the city officials through the
Capital Journal last night 1t about when the banks
refused take up city warrants until the ability Of the
city collect for its work and enforce its liens for
work DONE demonstrated. The banks were moved to
this course following the decision of the supreme court
in the suits Of Dan Fry and the Lord and Carson estates
against the city the Improvement Of High street, and
in the suit of John Albert the paving Of Church
street. it holding in each the city had not taken the
proper preliminary steps, and could not collect for the
work done. This compes the city at large to pay for
these two jobs of paving 1t must pay for them because
it has issued its warrants for the work. and the work has
already been paid for so far as the persons doing
concerned The mayor and street committee Of the city
council discussed the matter yesterday and after the
banks had given their utmatum the chairman of the
committee ordered all work stopped Indefinitely. The
mayor will present the matter to the council Monday
night and is proposed at that time to submit amend
nent to the city charter similar to that of the MedfOrd
charter providing for reassessng property for street
work. The supreme court in the Medford decided
this could be done.
1t requires 30 days notice to call city election and it
the intention of the council it is minated to call the cleo
ton possible which will lie at least 30 days after
next Monday If this amendment passes and the city is
given power to collect from property holders for work
done the streets adjacent to their properties the at
tempt will be made to compel those who have bested the
city far in litigation to pay for the work done along
side their properties. If these be made to pay which
it is asserted be done the amendment is passed.
then the banks will again take up the ctys warrants is
sued for street improvements and street work can again
be taken up In the meanwhile the advertisements giving
notice of Improvement of the streets held up will be
completed and if the amendment carries which it
suredy WILL work will be resumed and streets torn
up and left almost impossible will be completed rapid
ly possible 1t will be up to the voters say if there
to be street improvements not and if property
owners must pay for improvements made for them

Newspaper workers are often at sea
as TO how TO secure accurate informa-

ing undue pain or embarrassment TO
those concerned. This is particular
ly true in regard to cases of bcrcavc-
ment. No reporter wants to intrude
upon the sanctity Of tho death chamber
to secure information that could ac

often than otherwise the details Of

Importance, though 1t does occur
at times when some little error
in statement is liable to leave
the way open for a misconstruc-
ton Of meaning. Such an error
occurred in The Advertiser last
week in regard to the death of the late
IL. V. Ferguson, when it was stated that
his wife was in an adjoining room
where she had gone While the deceased
was resting. AS matter Of fact, she
was in the room when he died and was
keeping a close watch upon his condi-
ton until the very last.
