disorderly conduct in connection with
the patriotic demonstration that cut

the theater but the doors were guarded
by policemen who succeeded in clear
ing the street.
The crowd returned, however, and
pushed OSbourn, the standard bearer,
up the steps. a police captain tried
to wrest the flag away and when it
disappeared the crowd behind Osbourn
burst into the building.
Police reserves summoned from all
over the city broke up the crowd with
Douglas G.. ODER, one of those arrested
was so badly beaten that he had to be
taken to a hospital.
The other five are Carter G. Os-
bourn, jr., Allison Muir, William Tip

PUSH AERO CORPS
Captain Billiard Busy Getting
Recruits for His Company.
Lack of $4,000 Will Not Stop
Plans Under Way.

Capt. Phil Billiard reported today
that the recruiting of his aero COM
pany is progressing rapidly, and that
he hopes in a short time to have the
full quota of forty-five men. To the
present time about twenty-five picked
men have been enrolled in the COM
pany. Practically all of these have
had mechanical experience which will
fit them for the work in the aviation
corps. Men with experience in the
handling of internal combustion en-
gines, men who have worked with
semaphore signalling, or with special
knowledge of topography, will be par
ticularly welcome to the organization.
According to Billiard no one need
hesitate to join the company from a
hesitancy about venturing into an air
plane. There will be plenty of ground
work for those who do not pant for
the thrills of soaring thro the upper
reaches of heaven,
Go Ahead With Work.
THE fact that the company has not
raised the short $4,000 which will be
necessary to supplement the $4,000
appropriated by the legislature to meet
the expenses of the first years train
ing, will not in the least interfere with
recruiting, or with the training of the
force. we Will proceed with the work
as far as the $4,000 on hand will CO."
said Captain Billiard. There is no
doubt but that the thing will go thru.
We won't allow $4,000 to stand in the
way of the success of the company"
Captain Billiard said.
AS soon as the enrolment of the
corps is complete, the men will be
subjected to the physical examination.
The state will furnish uniforms and
requisition will be made thru the
quarter-master general for such ad-
ditional equipment as is available for
this arm of the service.
According to Captain Billiard the
corps has lost several prospective re-
cruits because of the prevailing i'm
preston that recruiting would not be
prosecuted until the needed $4,000 is
secured This is not true. The recruit
ing is proceeding steadily and a full
company of men is expected shortly
to report for the first examination.

of hatred for the German soldiers
that one would imagine on first
thought. Such hatred seldom exists
between soldiers. Rather, impetus is
given the battle more because of one
soldiers ambition to show the other
fellow that he can shoot straightest.
ASK the average soldier of the
Spanish-American war, Eether he
recalls any incident wherein he expert
enced actual hatred for the Spaniard
or the Filipino in the field, and his
answer will be, No. unless, perchance
q brother or his dearest friend was
killed while fighting by his side. That
makes a difference.
I'm other words, the point 1 am
driving, is just this: The loudest'
patriotism is before the fight, mostly
in talk and on paper. After that, the
soldier thinks of little else than his
ability to outshoot the other fellow.
''And then, this lows: The man
who has seen active service in the
field, hesitates when the next call
comes, until he knows he is to get a
chance to fight. 1 think this accounts
for the fact that a larger number of
the $500 veterans are not now en-
listing. Signs of real fighting will
bring volunteers from among veterans
that would naturally abhor inactive
service"

For many years physicians have agreed
that the vast majority of human ills were
caused by accumulated waste in the

recommendation and those of its users,
been steadily growing in favor.
Recently, however. the startling news
which has been covering this cou:Itry that

WAR THEN PEACE
Taft Finds Welcome to Peace
Leaguers' Plan.
Finishes Strenuous Trip Thru
South and Southwest.

New York, April 2.-William How
ard Taft, returning to New York to-
day, after what he said was the long
est and most strenuous journey ne mas
taken since he left the White House,
asserted that the people of the South
and Southwest were ready for war and
that the United States must enter the
conflict whole heartedly."
Mr.. Taft spoke publicly in eleven
cities in nine states, from Virginia to
Missouri. in behalf of the program of
the League to Enforce Peace and
urged the necessity of preparation for
war. Unless the war continues year
longer, an American army cannot be
placed in the trenches of Europe tho
former president said, but the govern
ment can aid with food supplies. mon
ey and credit and with the navy in
SuppresSing submarines.
THE South and Southwest is ready
for the conflict with Germany" he
said.
This great section of the country
part of which was decided to Mexico
by Foreign Secretary Zimmerman, has
not an ounce of anti-war spirit.
Neither is there any rampant jingoism.
The people of the South and South
west feel that war is inevitable and
they are willing to go into it to de-
mand our rights. In fact they do not
want to stay out any longer and feel
that their battles are being fought by
somebody else.
ITO talk about anything with the
word peace in it, in war time-and we
are at war now whether congress has
so declared it or mcknight be con-
sidered unwelcome yet found the peo-
pie of the South receptive to the pro-
gram of the League to Enforce Peace
when once its double mission for war
and laying the groundwork for per
manent peace was explained them"

Green and gold predominating, a
dash of blue, a stain of red and a
touch of modest white, all inter-
mingled with colors variegated. That's
feminine Kansas avenue, a kaleido-
scopic riot of spring fashions.
Despite the cost, milady's street trous-
seau was never more informal, more

sibly never more varied. There are
dreams in gold, light gold, bright gold
and dull gold-old gold that clings
to shapely arms and shoulders in tiny
folds with dainty lines. The green of
the shamrock is woven in profusion
of suits, belted and sashed, Then too,
there is royal purple. Women's out

of the word. Ten dollars for a trim
ankle is dirt cheap. Fifteen dollars
isn't out of the ordinary and price tags
bearing Inscriptions ranging from SIS
to SIS are not out of the ordinary in
Topeka show windows. Shoes, ac-
cording to local shoe retailers, have
advanced so to 100 per cent over last
year and it is expected they will jump
another Is or 20 per cent before July.
That means that the trim boots so
common on Kansas avenue will cost
anywhere from $12 to $40 a pair by
that time.
Prices Have Scared.
