THRIFT STAMP DAY.

All persons who cannot buy bond
of the third liberty loan and also those
who can do so will be given an oppor-
tunity to do their bit in helping to win
the war on May 1. Wednesday of next
week is to be thrift stamp day thru
out the United States and Kansas. On
that day every store. shop, stand,
booth, counter and individual selling
goods of any character at retail is ex-
pected to urge every customer to ac-
cept one or more thrift stamps as part
of his or her change on every pur-
chase. Where the customers change
is less than the price of thrift stamp
the clerk, before accepting the Gus
toner's money, will courteously ask
the customer if he or she will include
a thrift stamp in the purchase.
Thrift stamp day should be the
biggest bargain day the United States
has ever known. The greater volume
of business the Kansas merchants
handle on that day the more thrift
stamps will be sold. The drive
should prove a tremendous boost to
business, and it is up to the merchants
and everybody engaged in retailing to
offer bargains so their patrons may
share in the success of thrift stamp
day
Thrift and patriotism go hand in
hand in these days as necessary to the
success of the United States and allies
in the war for the preservation OF
liberty and everything else that is
worth while. These two should prove
twin incentives to the success of thrift
stamp day. 1t should be the part OF
the people of America to take millions
of thrift stamps on that day and fur
nish the United States with the sinew:
of war

DISCUSS ROYALTY
Austrian ArchdukeS Are Riled
Over Family Branch.
All Because of That Bad Letter
to Prince Sixtus.

Amsterdam, April 25.-The Berlin
Tageblatt prints the following dispatch
from Vienna:
1.-The members of the imperial house
of Austria met at the Archduke's pal
ace and decided thru him to point out
to the emperor the preJudicial conse-
quences which the activities of men,
bers of the house of Bourbon de
Parma residing abroad, might have
for the interests of the house of Haps-
burg-Lorraine."
The complaint of members of the
imperial house evidently has reference
to the case of Prince Sixtus of Bour-
bon de Parma, brother of the Aus
trian empress, who was Princess Zita
of Bourbon de Parma. 1t was to
Prince Sixtus, an officer in the Bel
gian army, that Emperor Charles
wrote his famous letter of March 81
1917, in which he made peace sugges-
tions for unofficial submission to
France and England and as revealed
government early this month. alluded
to Frances just claims regarding
AIsace-Lorraine'' which he promised
tC support
The complications which followed
the publication of this letter included
the issuance of numerous Austrian
statements in explanation and denia
to heal Germany's injured feeling and
the resignation of Count Czernin, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister
and his replacement by Baron Burian
a diplOmatiSt said to be thOroly &C
ceptable to Germany.

OFFERED NO PLAN
Secretary Baker Has No New
Idea on War.
So Says Congress, and 1t May
Act Independently.
BY L. C. MARTIN. 4

Washington, April 25.-Surprised
and disappointed at Secretary of War
Bakers failure to outline any plan
for increasing the American army, or
to indicate he has such plan, con-
gress today is on the verge of indie
pendent action on the subject.
Tho Baker has appeared this week
before house and senate military af-
fairs committee, he has not, to quote
committee members, given one new
idea on the war;
Bakers reticence on the subject
about which both houses were eager
to hear created an immediate demand
for positive action by congress to start
things moving.
Hurry Up" Says Williams.
Get guns. munitions and men
across, men trained, half trained, or
quarter trained" urged Senator Will
l.ams, Mississippi, today. williams
is known as one of the administra-
tons spokesman. He gave express
sion to what many other members
expressed privately.
There is now under consideration a
draft Of a measure providing for an
| army of five million. Its sponsors do
not expect their particular measure
to be adopted if they decide to intro
duce it. They know Baker will. in
the final analysis, say what is to be
done. But they want to start some
thing"

GENERAL UNDER ARREST
Special Court Martial Ordered to Try
Offending Officer.

Washington, April 25.-A special
court martial has been ordered for
Brig Gen. Arthur B. Donnelly, form
erly of the Missouri national guard,
now under arrest at Camp Mills, N. Y.
General Donnelly has been in COM
mand of the 13Sth infantry formed
from the old First and Fifth Missouri
regiments.
An official report made by an in
specting officer charges that General
Donnelly participated in games of
cards with junior officers in which
money was passed. that the games
were held in the generals tent and
that liquor was served to the players.
Strong influence has been brought
to bear on the war department to have
the charges dropped. but Secretary
Baker refused to interfere. He is
understood to have told members of
congress who approached him that a
general officer would be handed the
same measure of justice as the raw
est recruit, but that the sentence in
the former case should. within fair
ness. be more severe because of the
opportunity the officer had to famil-
iarize himself with army regulations.

STRIKE is IMPENDING
Commercial Telegraphers May Walk
Out Sunday.

Chicago. April 25.-Strike instruc-
tons were being prepared here today
by President S. J. Konenkamp of the
Commercial Photographers Union of
America.
The instructions deal with possibili-
ties of a nationwide tieup following
next Sundays planned demonstrations
when members will publicly avow
their union membership. Discharges
of union telegraphers in increasing
numbers foreshadowing general lock-
outs next week, forced the unions
hand, President Konenkamp declared
today.
THE situation is tense" he wired
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor. Konenkamp also
communicated with the secretary of
war, Provost Marshal General Crow
der, the federal war labor board and
President Carleton of the Western
Union, warning them of the critical
situation.
Gompers Into Matter
.Gompers was asked to "offer a
solution that does not involve sur
render of the right to organize" This
concession is the only demand made
10y the telegraphers' union at present,
Konenkamp stated. But requests for
better wages and working conditions
would follow, he intimated.

Reports received here do not make
clear whether the Uruguyans ac-
tually were taken on the submarine.
but do establish that they finallv

1t was the halting of the mission
which caused Uruguay to call on
Germany for an explanation and give
indications of disposition to regard
the interference as an act of war.
Coupled with recent reports from
London that Uruguay as well as
Argentina was preparing to enter the
war, the incident has aroused I'M

MAY POOL SHIPS
Allies May Have International
Shipping Board.
Vital Factor in War Would
Follow the FOch Plan.

Washington, April 25.-Pooling
and operation by an inter-allied ship
ping board of all tonnage now oper-
ated by the United States, Great Brit
ain, France and Italy is being jointly
discussed by those nations.
Distribution of tonnage as the war
sweeps into its most desperate stage.
is becoming more and more a vital
factor iE the outcome. Differences of
opinion as to whether food supplies
or men should have priority have
caused vast confusion in recent
months with the rapidly changing
situation in France. Official diplo-
matte advices today announced a
meeting of the inter-allied economical
committee of France yesterday to dis
cuss the question of tonnage distri-
button.
The pool plans would bring the
same coordination in the shipping
shortage that was brought on the
western front by the appointment of
General Foch as generalissimo of all
allied troops.

The performance of Richmond
Pearson Hobson at Santiago de Cuba
has been repeated on a large scale by
British naval forces at Zeebrugge,
Belgium, and apparently with a great
er degree of success. Hobson had bad
luck with his venture and failed to
block the harbo- mouth How the
Spanish ships finally attempted to es-
cape and what happened to them
probably is one of the best remem-
bered events in American history.
There is no fleet of German warships
at Zeebrugge but it is the point from
which the submarines which infest
British waters are believed to start on
their voyages of destruction. Both
the English people and those of other
countries have wondered why the
greatest navy in the world did not dc
something. 1t has done it. The re-
suit cannot yet be estimated.

SUGAR IMPORTS LAG
West Indies Steamship Companies
Not Doing Their Part.

San Juan, Porto Rico, April 25.-
Steamships and schooners with suf-
ficient capacity for carrying 10000
bags of sugar have been dispatched
from Porto Rico to the United States
in ballast or else sent to Cuba for car
goes of sugar within little more than
one month, when there have been am
pie sugar cargoes offered here. ac-
cording to shipping men.
Sugar men who are not moving their
crops as rapidly as they wish say that
ships are not permitted to obtain car
goes in Porto Rico because the allot-
ment of spaces for sugar in the West
Indies is largely controlled by repre-
sentatives of steamship companies do
ing business here.
Nineteen steamers took sugar from
Porto Rico to the United States during
March carrying a total of approxi-
mately 100000 bags. Shipments are
approximately $3.50 tons behind the
shipments for the same time last year

There is a widespread movement to
mobilize town men of farm expert
certain days of the week during the
periods of labor strain, in planting,
cultivating or harvesting. That was
done successfully last year in many
of the grain regions. and in some
places the stores were closed for two
or three days at a time and everybody
Joined in saving the crops. This is not
the best farm labor; the town men
are not hard" but they can at least
work few hours a day and in the ag-
gregate they can furnish the necessary
man power for emergencies.
