SECTION 3. We reaffrm the principles

the schools of the county be placed on an

ARTICLE III.
I SECTION L. In this time Of world wide
conflict and the necessary individual and
national readjustment, tremendous prob
lens are arising, and will arise; therefore
important than overland we urge, in every
community, that teachers and boards of
education demand not only school as
usual" but school more than usual for
as Commissioner Claxton says, Our schools
must be now sustained and improved
as to enable them to better prepare our
new age which will follow the close of
the war and the coming of peace. No boys
and girls must now be neglected or ex-
plotted for selfish ends"
SECTION 2. As individual citizens, and
as members of the great teaching fraterni-
ty of the state of Kansas, we pledge our
allegiance to the national administration,
in the carrying out of its policies for the
prosecution of the war.
We therefore promise full support to
the state and national councils of defense,
in the conservation of the food resources
of the nation; and to our president, the
full cooperation in his plans for Junior
Red Cross organization; we further urge
that definite and comprehensive teaching
in national loyalty and patriotic service
be made part of the instruction in every
Kansas school. Respectfully submitted,

Crowds Come Early.

The teachers came to the conven-
ton this morning in train loads and
in delegations. All early trains ar
rived heavily loaded. Boy scouts are
acting as guides and meet the teachers
at the trains and escort or direct them
to wherever they want to go. Several
department stores had motor cars at
the stations. These same stores set
aside rooms at their uptown places
where the teachers could check their
grips and other baggage. This after
noon nearly every available room in
the city had been occupied Hotels
were crowded and private homes

SEDITIOUS LITERATURE PART OF
 TEUTONS' WORLD POLITICS PLAN
(By Associated Press Dispatch)

LONDON, July 25, (Mail Cores pondence. - Tons of seditious liter ature, printed in many languages and intended for circulation in neutral countries, have been seized here and condemned by prize court as part of a gigantic scheme on the part of the Germans to spread their propaganda to the four corners of the earth. The seizures were found in the mails of the steamship Oranje, Rembrandt and Goentoer. More than 1,500 bags, con taining thousands of pamphlets, were removed from the vessels by the Brit ish authorities.
 Sir Frederick Smith, the Attorney General, in asking the court to con- demn the seizures, asserted that the scheme was on the largest possible scale and had been carried out with

ingenuity and thoroughness. In a neat red and yellow cover, he said, was pamphlet entitled "The Neutrality of India and England" and information available to the British authorities showed that in virtually every neutral country, almost in every neutral town of importance, the Germans had ap- pointed agents whose special mission it was to distribute the literature.
 There were Dutch and French edi- tions of this pamphlet, the French edition being edited, it was said, by the Indian National Party. An Ara bic pamphlet had a flaming red star and crescent on the cover. Another dealt with alleged British atrocities.
 A pamphlet in French and Spanish, entitled "England's Rule in India" was intended for circulation as far afeld as Bolivia, it was said.

Within the period we have heard the relative merits of iron and wood en ships together with much personal pickering and abuse. But in spite of all the flood of discussion and per sonalites no new ships have touched the water as result of shipping board activities. Talk and indecision has been the only visible manifesto tions that such a board was in exist ence. And m the meantime the sub marines are daily reducing the few remaining ships upon which depend our initial efforts in the war. Fossil bly we can build larger number of ships per month than the Germans can destroy and it is equally possible that we cannot, especially if Ger many further increases the scope of her submarine activities. But re- gardless of the possibilities in either direction, we are pursuing the old pohcy of vacillaton and hair split ting and not ship is being launched and very few are being constructed. What is the use of raising vast armies
 if we have not ample transportation facilities to place them across the water and keep them adequately supplied with food and fighting ma terial? True, we are landing small patches of troops in Europe at pres ent, but what are we going to do when the army ready for overseas service numbers hundreds of thou sands? How are they to be placed across the water without the loss of many valuable months of time if the government is to continue diiatory in the matter of ship construction And how are we going to keep them supplied with the vast quantities of food and war supplies required after they are there?
 Ana what are we gong to do about our allies who are dependant upon us for food unless there is an ade- quate volume of shipping at our com- mand? Talk won't solve such prob lems; what is needed is ships. Every available pound of tonnage that could be produced at one time should have been under way long ago

SHIPS THE IMMEDIATE NEED.

Although there has been n decidedly 1 gratifying decrease in the number of merchant vessels destroyed by the Germans in recent days, the placing of more ships on the seas is still the most pressing requirement. of the hour if we are to emerge from the war with victory for our arms and credit to our national reputation.
 That the destruction of the U boats not blind us to the fact that ships and more ships are needed if we hope to complete the task to which we set our hand on that momentous April day when congress declared that war was the only remedy for repeated insult and aggression.
 Several times since the submarine became a potent factor in the titanic struggle now shaking the world, there has been an almost complete suspen- sion of ship destruction for varying Intervals. At times it appeared that the numerous efforts to thwart the diving boats had achieved their ob- ject and the submarine menace was no longer to be feared. But hardly had the resultant feeling of confidence appeared before it was rudely shat tered by a resumption of the diver activities on a vastly increased scale.
 Thls has now happened so often that we should on no account be deceived by the present lull which if the his tory of the earlier stages of the sub marine war are a criterion for judg- ment, Is merely q prelude to a still greater destruction of vessels than ever before. It is admitted by the naval officials of the entente gvern- ments that no decisive remedy for the U boat menace has yet been sfound. The German can still go on sinking ships in great numbers in spite of all that can be done to stop them and the only possible way of preventing them from ultimately driving allied shipping from the seas is 10 build boats faster than they can be de- stroyed.
 Regardless of whether the Germans increase their activities or not we must still have ships, dozens and hundreds of them, before we can hope to overcome the powerful enemies to whom We are opposed. Considering the grave nature of the requirements in this direction it is not be a little dlsquieting to find that the long her. aided ship building program, which We were rather famboyantly assured q few weeks would add something like two hundred thousand tons a month 10 the volume of American shipping has so far failed to material | ize one single merchant ship, although 1 the board has been in existence for | many months.
