PRESENT PLAN is A DISGRACE
A Shame To Send Old Men and
Women to Poor Farm,
Only 4 Cents a Year ON Each
$1,000 Valuation Here.

1T is a rhine and a shame for any
community the size of Topeka to send
its old men and old women. financially
unable to support themselves, to the
horrors of poor farm" This state
ment was MADE by a prominent To-
peka woman this morning when she
was questioned on the subject of the
proposed 200 bond issue for the
building of a county home for this
class of community dependents.
The woman pointed out that the
conditions attending internment in d
poor farm are such that the aged and
infirm sent there to pass their few re-
naming years are surrounded with
demands which they are unable to
meet.
aged persons sent to the poor farm
are in no condition to do farm work
such as is required of them on the
present ms farm north of the city.
If they were able to work they would
not be inhabitants of the farm, and it
is folly to turn over so many acres

American German Language Paper
Sums Up Debts of Germany.

New York, Aug. 2.-Credits and
debts piled for and against Germany
since the start of the war have been
printed here in the New York Stats
Zeitung, a newspaper printed in the
German language. Credits as compiled
by this newspaper, show nothing but
liabilities.
On the credit side Of Germany's led
ger are arranged the despoliation of
France, Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro
and the Rumania the subjugation of
Russia, the aid given Bulgaria and
Turkey, which has resulted in Armen-
ian massacres., and destruction of mil
lions of tons Of shipping and the sue
cessful fight carried on by nilitaris
in the reichstag against election re-
forms.
On the debit side stand the sacrifice
of the flower of Germany's youth in
war, the decentralization of Germany's
commerce, the loss of her colonies, the
disrepute into which Germany has fall
len in America and the growing con-
viction in Germany that the power of
autocratic leaders is dwindling.

1t is pointed out that no one tax
