EXTRACTING THE KAISER

The British war cabinet has decided to ask Holland

Mrs. Catherine Callan Hayden, of Chicago, daughter of
Patrick Callan, who lost his life when the Lusitania
was sunk, has asked the United States district attorney
to issue a warrant for the former kaiser. charging him
with murder. The warrant has not been issued, but an
assistant in the attorneys Office promised to look into
treaty rights between America and Holland to determine
whether or not William can be extradited.
William can be extradited. providing he can be con-
victed Of or charged with murder under the laws of the
Netherlands, where he now is a fugitive from :ustice.
On June 2. 1887, representatives of the American and
Dutch governments concluded an extradition treaty, the
notifications Of which were exchanged on May Fl, 1889.
The treaty provides that:
The United States of America and His Majesty. the
King Of the Netherlands reciprocally engage to deliver
up to Justice all persons convicted Of or charged with
any OF the crimes or offenses enumerated = . y .

Holland hand him over, and unless Holland desires to
shield him. she should extradite him immediately.

Unionism The Hopeful
Solution OF All Labor
Problems, Says Walker

Bloomington. ILL.,, Dec. 2.-Until In

tablished rule among men, no guar
antee of permanent world peace can

Federation Of Labor. declared in his
annual report to the convention here
today. Mr.. Walker. who has served
five years, and who will not be a can
didate for reelection, characterized
trade unionism and the cooperative
movement as the most hopeful solu-
ton of labor problems.

deal with the large wholesalers and
possibly some manufacturers and de-
pend on our ability to purchase in
large lots. But later on. when we
have accumulated sufficient funds to
establish our own Office headquarters,
our own storage warehouses and side
tracks. we will deal with the manu-
facturer and the farmer directly. and

membership Of $4,000 to an enroll

POETRY AND HISTORY

books to the soldiers in France give
preference to poetry, histories and
textbooks. Mr.. Wright declares that

been SO generously supplied lately. He
also said that thru the drop letter"
system it has not been possible to for
ward all of the magazines because of
lack of facilities for shipping, and
there is still a considerable accumula-
ton on hand. These magazines, tho
delayed, will be transported as soon as

FIND TIME TO READ
War Work Does Not Interfere With
Patronage of Public Library.

Knitting, Red Cross work and other
war time activities have not seriously
interfered with the circulation of
books at the Topeka public library.
Quite the contrary the circulation of
the books has increased under the
high pressure of war. Perhaps the
ardent Red Cross workers and knit
little light browsing after day
spent in strenuous effort.
In 1917 the report of the city
librarian, Miss Caroline Medlicott,
shows a total circulation in the read
ing and reference departments of the
library of 10000 books. This shows
an increase of 1851 books over the
score for 1916. The only decrease
shown in the report was a decrease in
the number of visitors, SS8 persons
being the total of the deficiency.
In the juvenile department the in
crease in circulation was also marked,
the score being 1926 books in excess
of the 1916 figure. OF this number,
1850 were of the non-fiction variety.
In the course of the year 46S books
were worn out and discarded, and
12,022 new books were pur chased.
ITO keep the library from being
scorned by a famished public Miss
Medlicott recommended that a new
drinking fountain be installed in the
building. AS things are now it is
possible that the people will consider
the soda fountain a more comfortable
place to spend idle summer hours than
in the waterless library.

men now encamped in the national
army environments. The news listens

them feel that they are not only far
enough advanced in training for the
great adventure over there but are
eager to go. There have been innu-
merable instances of men who have
volunteered from this cantonment for
some form of special service which
they believed would place them in the
lines on the western front at the earli-

strong appeal. but to more there is
the thought of taking part in the
mighty war of the ages for the great
good that is to come to mankind in
the allied determination to set Ger

Rheumatism is caused by poison

FOR KANSAS SCHOOLS
Fifty Thousand to Institutions Offer
ing Agricultural Training

Kansas public schools offering agri-
cultural training will receive nearly
$4,000 in state and federal aid this
year. Under the Smith-HugheS bill
passed by congress, the government
will spend nearly $3.50 in the state
this year in an effort to promote agri-
cultural education in public schools.
Under a provision of the bill, the state
is compelled to appropriate an equal
amount in order to get the federal
support.
Work of handling the funds to be
distributed among a number of pub
lie schools of the state will be in
charge of Prof. H. L. Kent of the
State Agricultural college. Prof. Kent
has opened an office in the suite oc-
cupied by the state superintendent of
public instruction, The allotment of
funds under the h-Hughes act is
restricted to accredited and approved
high schools which have adopted an
agricultural course, have secured an
enrolment of at least ten students and
can show one-fourth of its total en-
rolment from farm homes. Agricul-
tural students must devote at least
half Of their time to the practice of
vocational agriculture and must be en-
gagged for at least six months of the
year in supervised productive farm
projects.
