nation in Raid on a Kansas
City Print Shop.

Kansas City, June Developments
of a nature that will startle the en-
tire country are expected in the gov
ernment's activities against anti-reg-
istration forces known to be working
against the government It became
known yesterday that new evidence of
an important nature is in the hands
of the government in these cases and
that arrests may be expected that will
tend to add much weight to the prose

RONORS The SOLDIER DEAD
President Wilson Makes Memorial Ad-
dress at Arlington Cemetery-SPirit
of Liberty Still Alive.

Washington, May 31-America's re-
Spouse to the call of liberty in the
struggle of the world will hold the at
tention of all mankind. President Will
son said today in Memorial day adj
dress at Arlington National cemeteF.
In observing the day, he said, the nat
ural touch of sorrow is tinged with
reinsurance, because knowing how the
men of America have responded to the
call Of liberty in times agone, there is
perfect assurance that the new re-
Spouse will come again in equal
measure with equal majesty"
The President spoke in the natural
amphitheater in the cemetery at a
meeting arranged by the local Grand
Army of the Republic and attended by
a crowd of thousands. He said he did
not pity the men in whose labor the
ceremonies were held.
II envy them rather" he went on,
liberty accomplished, and we are in
the midst Of work Unfinished, test
ing our strength where their strength
has already been tested.
1.-THE time for action" he said, has
come, "and in the providence of God,
America will come once more to have
an opportunity to show the world she
was born to serve mankind.
81 am not here to deliver an ad-
Dress" the President said. 81 am here
merely to show in my official capacity
the sympathy of this great govern
ment with the object of this occasion,
and also to speak just word Of the
sentiment that is my own heart.
when you reflect on it, these men
who died to preserve the Union, died
to preserve the instrument which we
are now using to serve the world-a
free nation espousing the cause Of
human liberty. In one sense, the great
struggle into which we have now en-
tered is an American struggle, be-
cause it is in the sense of American
honor and American rights but it is
something even greater than that; it
is world struggle. 1t is a struggle
OF men who love liberty everywhere
and in this cause America will show
herself greater than ever because she
w91l rise to a greater thing.
1--WE have said in the beginning that
we planned this great government that
men who wish freedom might have a
place of refuge and a place where
their hope could be realized, and now,
having established such a govern
ment, having preserved such a gov
eminent, having indicated the power
of such a government, we are saying
to all mankind, We did not set this
government up in order that we might
have selfish and separate liberty, for
we are now ready to come to your as
sistance and fight out upon the fields
of the world the cause of human lib
erty.' In this thing America attains
her full dignity and the full fruition
of her great purpose"

ANOTHER TORNADO
IN The SOUTHWEST
Several Persons We're Killed in
Southeast Kansas and in
Northeast Oklahoma.
COFFEYWLLE HIT BY STORM
More Than so Injured There and Many
Houses Wrecked-coaIeate,
Ok, Suffers Damage.

Kansas City, June 2.-The tornado
area, which has covered Eastern Mis-
souri,, Illinois and states south of the
Ohio river in the last few days, switch
ed back to Eastern Oklahoma and
Eastern Kansas late yesterday. Out
of the mass of conflicting reports and
rumors, due to the disruption of means
of communication, it is apparent that
the storm was widespread. At least
twenty persons are known to have
been killed and scores injured, while
the property damage is heavy.
Coffeyville, Kan, and South Coffey-
vile, Ok, were in the center of the
storm area and it was difficult to OBJ
tain accurate details from the two
cities.
coffeyViIle Hard Hit
More than thirty persons were Sc
verely injured in Coffeyville and some
of them are expected to die.
More than two hundred buildings
were wrecked by the storm.
In Oklahoma the towns in the path
of the storm, which suffered most,
were Coalgate, mining center, and
Drake. There were five deaths at
each place.
Lightly Built Houses Wrecked.
The lightly constructed miners cab
ms at Coalgate were easy prey for the
tornado and the victims were mostly
members Of the families of the mine
workers.
At Drake, two residences and a
schoolhouse were destroyed. A teach
er, seeing the storm approaching, has
thy herded her pupils into a storm
cellar, probably saving many lives.
Another tornado struck near Morse,
five miles southeast of Olathe, Kan,
wrecking farm houses and killing
three persons, all members of the
same family. Property damage was
caused also in the vicinity of Ottawa,
in Franklin county, and near Baldwin
City.
Arkansas Was Hit, Too.
At Seminole, Ok, two persons are
expected to die as result of injuries
received in the storm. Seven others
were severely injured and the prop
erty damage was considerable.
A railroad telegraph operator at
Blue Mountain, Ark, reported the de-
struction of Mansfield, Ark. All wire
communication with Western Arkan-
sas was cut off and it has been i'm
possible to obtain details of the
storms ton in that region.

RIGA LOSS MAY SOBER
RUSSIAN RADICALS
MAY Teach Lesson Of Patriotism
So Badly Needed.

Washington, Sept 4.-Abandonment
of Riga in the face of the new Ger
man drive into Russia and even the
evacuation of Petrograd itself, have
been forecast as possibilities in con-
fidentiaI advices to the American gov
ernment during the last two weeks.
Such a development is not regarded
with so much alarm as might be sup
posed. AS a military achievement. a
capture of Riga and Petrograd
amounts to almost nothing.
Furthermore, many Russians are
said to think that a German occupa-
ton of Riga, and even Petrogra0,
might be a wholesome object lesson
for the radical element which has
been hampering the new government
and that a nexperience under the mill
tary heel of Germany might convince
them of the need of supporting the
government as now constituted to
save their fatherland At any rate a
German army placed in Riga and
Petrograd now will soon have its rear
cut off by ice, for all water communi-
cation will cease.

Mr. Immel came to Joplin first in 1878,
but was forced to leave shortly after
