PARIS MAY RAISE
HOGS NOW TO EAT
up THE GARBAGE

Paris, April g. (by mail).-Munici-
pal hog raising in Paris on a large
scale nay result from the war. Lack
of labor and deficient transportation
facilities have not only held up pro-
visions needed by the housewife and
made them dearer but have delayed
the garbage before front doors until
it has compelled universal attention
to it's immense volume as we'll as to
the inconvenience from its overstay in
the street.
Hog raising has been proposed as
a remedy for the lack of food and the
superabundance of rotting waste.
Vegetable garbage and greasy SUBJ
stances in the boxes over which
Parisians have been stumbling nightly
since the war began would, it is as
serted, fatten 100, 900 hogs each year,
and pork is now worth fifty cents a
pound.
Thousands of Grant dogs nourish
themselves on the contents of garbage
boxes, and a great many of the dogs
have been spreading hydrophobia.
The proposal embraces municipal
markets for the sale of the fresh pork,
eliminating middlemen's profits and
providing competition against dealers
who, in spite of all efforts to control
retail prices. have found means OF
steadily pushing up profits. 1t is es-
timated that the gross revenue from
the enterprise would be 100,000,000
francs a year, all of it nearly clear
gain for the city.

Bonar Law Says. Government
FavOrs Free Trade.
sMost Favored Nation" Treaty
Clause Must Go.
WILL GIVE FISCAL FREEDOM
All Commercial Treaties Will
Be Brought to End.
Such Commercial Contracts
Heretofore Have Been Many.

London, May 14.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer,
made an important announcement in
the house of commons Monday, the
Times says, when in reply to Ques-
ton by Sir Edward Carson he said
the British government intended to
adopt a policy similar to that of the
Frenche government in denouncing all
commercial conventions containing a
general clause regarding most ia
vored nations"
Such a step, the Times declares in
it's editorial comment, will leave Great
Britain free in matters of fiscal pol
icy. Up to this time the United King
dom has been bound by commercial
treaties with allied ana neutral coun-
tries guaranteeing reciprocal most
favored nations treatment in finance
matters"
Treaties With Enemies Off.
Commercial treaties with enemy
countries were terminated by the war.
So long as commercial treaties remain
in force, the Times adds, it will be i'm
possible for the United Kingdom to
give special treatment to her domin-
ions or allies in customs duties, on i'm
ports or to differentiate between
countries to which were exported
goods of the United Kingdom.
These commercial treaties are now
to be denounced. This denunciation,
it is said, does not mean necessarily
that there wilIbe any radical change
in the fiscal policy of Great Britain but
it makes such a change possible.

British Cabinet Said To Favor

Parliaments Proposed for Ire

London, May 14.-G. N. Barnes's
speech of Sunday, advocating parlia-
ments for Ireland. Wales, Scotland
and England. modelled on Americas
state legislatures, is viewed in some
quarters today as government kite"
to test public opinion.
The cabinet is divided but is tending
to the view that the only chance to
win Ulster is a federal scheme" the
Daily News said.
The Express said it understands
Barnes's idea was also that of most
of the cabinet members, including
Premier Lloyd George.
Barnes is a member of the war cab

British labor. He succeeded Arthur
Henderson.

and according to Meteorologist Flora
is the kind that is very much in de-
mand on the farms just now.
The lowest temperature reported in
Topeka during the last twenty-four
hours was So degrees at o'clock this
morning; 2 degrees below the normal
night temperature tor the date. The
temperature at o'clock this after
noon was up to 80 and was steadily on
the incline. Tonight the temperature
is not expected to drop below so de-
Srees and tomorrow afternoon about
so or IS degrees. A twelve-mi1e wind
from the southeast was largely re-
sponsible for the rise in temperature
this morning. The highest tempera-
ture in Topeka on this date was 90
degrees in 1899, and the lowest was SO
degrees in 1888.
The official forecast says fair to-
night and Wednesday; warmer to-
night.

indianapolis, Ind. May 14.-Revo-
luton against Germany is inevitable
in Ukrainia The situation in Ukrainia
has been as follows:
The Ukrainian republic was a bunk
republic. 1t was formed by Ukrainian
land owners. With great shouts of
freedom and liberty they swept the
Ukrainian people off their feet and
Organized what they the land owners,
chose to call a republic. 1 saw these
Organizers of the Ukrainian republic
when they came to Petrograd to ask
american Ambassador Francis to
recognize their alleged republic. They
formed a silk hat squad. OF course
Francis declined to agree with their
request.
: The purpose of these land owners
If Ukrainia was to stop the course of
the Russian revolution and prevent
the division of their land among the
peasants. BY making a traitorous
pace with Germany, they brought the
German army in Ukrainia, hoping
thus with the aid of the kaiser's forces
to crush the course of the revolution
in Ukrainia and thus save their prop
erty.
Saw Thru the Trick.
Long ago the Ukrainian peasants
saw thru the trick which had been
ter when food was scarce and fight
ing was difficult, Ukrainian peasants
Were forced to submit to the land
owners government. But every one
who has been familiar with condi-
lions in Ukrainia has been expecting
that, with the opening of spring and
the consequent Improvement in the
food situation, the Ukrainian peasants
would revolt both against their own
tfaitorous government and against
German troops.
The latest reports from both Ger
many and sUkrainia indicate that these
expectations are being fulfilled. The
peasants of Ukrainia are learning that
to make the Russian revolution effect
ave for themselves they must help the
rest of the allies to whip Germany.
Russian Peasants Will Follow
1t is a safe assumption that peas
ants in other parts of Russia will in
time discover,7as the Ukrianian peas
ants are discovering, that they must
re-enter the war against Germany Il
they expect to retain not only the
supposed benefits of the revolution
but even the little land which they
now possess.
These are influences which may
Justify the allies in believing thai
Russia has not definitely and perma
1ently surrendered to Germany. They
are influences which must cause grea
uleaSinesS in German military cir
cles and which will make it necessary
as the summer advances and the foot
situation improves in Russia for tn,
Germans to move considerable force.
