THE FLAG

(By Amelia Josephine Burr, Of the
vigilantes.l
Last year it was our heritage, the
red, white and blue;
Our grandsires died to raise it and
our sires to keep il true
We prayed we might be worthy of
their memory as we east
In shimmenng beauty to the wind
the banner Of our past,
But nor-O God, our hearts are
with our living and orr dead
Bone Of our bone the white has
grown, flesh Of our flesh the
red.
Our substance and our souls are to
keep it undefiled.
Last year L vas cur heritage-to-
day it is our child

BRITISH CRUEL TO
PRISONERS. HUNS SAY
Lying Campaign Seeks to
Justify Barbarity Toward
Englishmen
TO CONTRARY
ARE WELL TREATED
tBy Newspaper Enterprise Association

(By Newspaper Enterprise Assoclation)
AMSTERDAM, July 26-To AFFORD an
excuse for their brutal treatment OF al
lied prisoners and to arouse the Ger
man people to further barbarity toward
captives, the Germans have started a
lying propaganda purportlng TO show
that HUN prisoners in England are be-
Ing mistreated
Repatriated Ggman prisoners are
compelled to afflx their names to har-
rowing stories Of their hardships in
English prison camps. This under
handed campaign Is the more dastardly
in view Of the fact that English civil
lans are protesting that German pris-
oners are treated better than they are.
The following mendacious story in
the Vossische Zeitung Is a sample Of
the HUN lies:
The conditions In the German in
ternment camps in England are grow
ing sadder day by day. The rations
are continually diminishing in quantity.
No fresh meat is ever given to the Ger
mans.
THE prisoners in the Isle OF Man
are fed for weeks on nothing but the
flesh Of dogs and sea gulls. In the
Wakefield camp the interned were kept
in an enclosure under zinc roofing
within space so restricted that they
had barely room to turn around.
Indeed, II may be said that there is
not one internment camp In the United
Kingdom where the Germans are not
suffering the torments OF hell"

HARRY LAUDER

Topeka, in the Harry Lauder per-
fo1mances at the Grand Tuesday, was
given a taste of big time vaudeville
and liked it. The fact that seats sold
for SO cents more than they did in
Chicago had no effect whatever on
the stampede for seats; the house was
packed for the matinee and the S.
r. o. sign was out at night after
chairs accommodating scores had
been placed on the stage.
Lauder, of course, presented the
star act. 1t was he that the people
cam to see," and it was he for whom
they applauded most. From the very
beginning it seemed that the come
dian had his audience with him."
Those in the floor pit did not adopt
their usual attitude. They didn't say
to themselves, well Taught when we
can't help it" Harry Lauder made
them laugh with apparently no effort.
He did something else that seldom is
engineered at the Grand. He asked
the audience to sing right out loud
and it sang even to the choir on
the stage, including E. H Crosby.
LADDERS line of entertainment, had

comedy, and the usual audience thinks
it droll-except when Charlie p1asters
up the wall with one. And as a SUBJ
deb in the floor pit said at he matinee.
there was something as distinctive
about LADDERS singing as there is
about a 'low-draped party gown 1t
was with II Love to Be Sailor The
Maggie o. the Kilt" and I'm Going to
Marry AIRY en- the Fifth of january
that the comedian brought down the
house, 1t was after his laugh factory
efforts that Lauder threw aside his
cloak of comedy and became serious
delivering to his audience in substance
| the same talk on the war that he made
! before the Rotary club Tuesday noon.
! He proved himself as good an orator
as an actor. and literally held the au-
dience in the grip of his voice.
LADDERS appearance on the bill was
supplemented by several vaudeville
artists who were worthy of more than
passing notice The dancing of AIDE

was something new under the SUM-
Julian Eltinge has rival in Francis

minutes of clever comedy. while Cleo

Just before closing his act Lauder
/ made announcement that, tho in
definite, was good news to his follow
ers here. His present tour in America

MARKET ALL WHEAT
Kansas Farmers Get Urgent War Call
From Director Hoover.

Wichita, Kan, March 20-A war
call from Herbert Hoover to the farm
ers of Kansas was received here today
in which Mr.. Hoover asked the farm
ers to help combat hunger in France,
Italy, Belgium and England by mar
keting their 1917 wheat crop before
May 1.
I'm order that we may comply with
the urgent demands of the allies for
wheat and at the same time take care
of our own domestic supplies" says
the appeal. I'VE urgently need this
year earlier and more complete mar
keting of the wheat in the farmers
hands than usual. The allies are tax
ing from us fifty per cent of other GER
calls than wheat to mix in their bread
'Inasmuch as the people in allied
countries and the soldiers must be fed
with bread made wholly out of other
cereals and we must furnish them
with sufficient wheat to maintain
their bakery loaf, I therefore appeal
to all of the farmers in the state of
Kansas that they bring all of their
wheat. except their necessary reserves
for seed to market before May l.
This is a war call and a service
for Uncle Sam who is fighting for his
life If your local miller is unable to
buy all the wheat that is offered, mar
ket it in the other customary trade
channels thru which it will reach the
food administration grain corpora

men available for work on farms. de-
clared that the business men of the
towns and cities would have to CO.
operate with the farmer to a greater
extent than ever before.
He said that business men would
have to do the actual work of their
stores and other establishments this
summer in order to release their clerks
to the harvest fields.
The theory that women would play
a big part in the harvest fields was
ridiculed by Mr.. Frizell, but he said
they would be of great help around
the farm houses at tasks that would
free more men for the heavy work
In declaring that farm laborers this
summer will be paid SIS a day, Mr..
Frizell said farmers will be able to
pay that amount this year, as they are
the only producers of foodstuffs who

TO MOVE HAMMEL UNIT?
Has Rumor That 1t Is Com
ing to Camp Funston.

Camp Doniphan, Okla, March 20
The 139 field hospital. commanded by
Mai. Seth Hammel. a Topeka unit,
may leave here soon, according to re-
ports current among the officers. 1t
is understood that the 10th is likely
to be sent to Camp Funston or to Fort
Riley and that the other field hospital
here, the 140th. also Kansas unit,
may be sent to Fort Oglethorpe. These
two organizations are part of the
10th sanitary train, attached to the
35th division.
Enlisted men in the Topeka unit are
anxious for a change, whether it be
to entrain for France or for Funston
They prefer Funston to Doniphan
chiefly because they want to dodge
the dust. And besides they are anx-
ious to once more live inside a build
ing instead of a tent.
