Mcpherson. Kan, April 24.-Walter

His father. T. j. Cooperider. 80 years

Other men living in the same

The identity of the members of the

WOULD FIGHT ON
MANY Russian Officers Are Still
Loyal to Allies.
They Seek To Leave Russia To
Help Elsewhere.

Yokohama. April 24.-Possibfy
none of the many tragedies which mas
befallen Russia in the past year Is
more pitiful than the plight or the
patriotic and loyal officers of what
was once the Russian army. Stripped
of their rank, robbed of their re-
sources. in danger from their own
men, vet unfit for anything save the
military career to which they nave
turned their lives, thousands OF these
officers remain loyal to the allied
cause.
Many of them, in the last few
months have arrived in Yokohama
from Hardin and Vladivostok on their
way to America, where they hopeu 10
gain admittance to the forces serving
under the Stars and Stripes others,
having lodged the searching Red
Guards, slip into the ports OF the
China coast, remove their disguise
and with the money they have realized
from the sale of their personal belong
ings, attempt to get passage thru Suez
to Italy or France, where they believe
they can be of service to the allies
Not a day passes but what these pa
triots may be seen in the streets OF
Yokohama, some in their frayed uni
forms, others in soiled civilian clothes.
They generally journey to Tokyo for
! an interview with the American mill
! tary attache who, however, is not able
to promise them great deal. Some,
who speak French, are offered encour-
agement in obtaining positions as in
| terpreters, others, particularly avia-
/ tors, are told the United States may
/ employ them as instructors.
According to the reports brought
here, hundreds of these officers are in
! VladivoStok awaiting a chance to get
away, in the interior there are thou
sands more who would come if they
could and there are generals who
would accept any post in the Ameri-
can army. but in Russia they are
watched. prosecuted and shot, robbed
of their authority, reduced to the rank
of privates and allowed a private's
pay-71a roubles a day. Tales have
been brought here of how they have
been mercilessly shot by the soldiers
they once commanded. All these mer
want today, with their country in the
grip of the German, is to show there
is still an element in Russia with faitl
in the allied cause.

FOR MERCHANT SHIPS
Men from Middle West Wanted as
Recruits for New Merchant Fleet.

Kansas City, Mo. April 24.-In or
der to provide for the hundreds of
ships now building to checkmate the
submarine campaigns, the navy has
raised its age limits to Is to ~ years
and opened a new campaign for re-
cruits, according to Lieut.. Ralph B.
Campbell, navy recruiting officer for
the Kansas City district.
Altho the ships may not be launched
for six months, crews must be en-
rolled in the Naval reserve immedi-
ately so that they may be ready for
service with the ships. Without trained
men our elaborate shipping program
will be valueless and all America s
trained seamen are now in service
Particular efforts are being made
to recruit men from the Middle West
because experience has proved them
to make the best sailors for modern

FINE FOR CROPS
Wet Weather Helps Wheat,
Oats and Alfalfa.
Corn Planting Delayed; POta-
toes Are Coming Up.

Abnormally COOL damp, and cloudy
weather prevailed over Kansas most
OF this week, with soaking rains in
the central and eastern counties that
generally totalled from an inch to an
inch and a half and thoroly soaked
the upper soil. Rains in the western
third of the state were much lighter
rot exceeding a quarter of an inch,
as a rule, but, coming on top of the
good rains of the preceding week.
they furnished an abundance of mois-
ture for present needs.
These rains have put the ground
in the best condition it has been for
long time, the weekly report of the
local office of the United States
VI Gather bureau SAYS.
On the 19-2Oth nearly all parts of
the state were. visited by a wet, cling
ing snow that measured t0o to five
inches in many counties, but melted
almost as fast as it fell Freezing
temperatures were reported in most
counties following this snow.
Good Crop Weather.
The weather was especially favor
able for wheat, which made decided
improvement in all parts and con-
tinues to stool in a highly satisfactory
manner. 1t has a strong, vigorous

Alfalfa is looking unusually well and
its harvest seems to be only about ten

time. Pastures. however. made a slow

up, it is reported to be turning yell
