MoBLIZING BRAIN POWER

MT. Kahn is also persuaded that the time is at hand when the brain power of the United States should be com- pletely mobilized He said: "If due weight is accorded to the experienced and ma- tured Judgement of ths spokesmen of business, and if, while recognizing and
 respecting the demands of progress and
 of social justice, we do not venture too far into unchartered waters, then there
 is no doubt of our ability thoroughly well to meet the situation which will arise after the war"
 MT. Kahn is also of the opinion that
 it may be well to take business men into the cabinet of the President, but without giving them portfolios. This is practice that has succeeded very well in Great Britain

GREAT SPEECHES
 BY OTTO H. KAHN
By HOLLAND


 New York, May 2.-(Special. lotto H. Kahn, who is a member of one of the greatest of international banking houses, has gained fine reputation, especially since our entrance into the war. by reason of various address he has made which have not been exceeded in earn estness and profound grasp of the fun damental issues that are to be deter mined by the war or in the wide appeal which the addresses have made to the American people.
 It may be that one of the reasons why Mir. Kahn has gained nationwide reputa- tion for services of this kind is to be found in the fact that he was born in Prussia, received his early education there and was brought in his immediate youth under the influences which char acterize the military autocraey of Ger many. He is able to speak therefore not as stranger or as one who looks from afar upon the contest, but instead as one who has first-hand knowledge He de- plores the racial characteristics which for q generation or more have distinguished the German people. a spirit which, he
 
 the ruling powers of Germany.
 He recognizes, as President Wilson does, that the struggle represent upon the one hand liberty made restrained by enlightened democracy and upon the other hand tyranny skilfully concealed as it cften is by the autocratic meth ods of the German rulers. He is dern- ocrat in the best meaning of that term, at ictr cessive socialism or the theories which are presumably adopted by the bolshe- wiki He believes that the finest proofs of representative self-government are those which have been developed by the growth of the spirit of liberty and the wise control of it by enlightened democ- racy in the United States.
 For these reasons everything which MT. Kahn now says is heard or read not merely with interest but with the convic- ton that he speaks, with sincerity pro- found truths The most recent address of Mir. Kahn was made day or two ago and referred especially to the present. day economic conditions in the United States and the prospect that this country will find itself after the war in a posi- ton of commanding economic potency. To gain and maintain that position, how ever, it is necessary, in Mir. Kahns opin- ion now, to begin preparations. He is one of those who believe that in time Of war it is the duty also to prepare for the coming of peace and for the situa- tions which may arise after peace is established One of the best stimulants to preparations, in his opinion, is the development of the spirit of thrift among the people. A year ago it would not have been deemed possible for the people of the United States within 12 months to demonstrate that they had already learned the first lessons in the school of thrift But the evidences are plentiful now that these lessons have been learned, it even being estimated that the savings of the people in the F calendar months of this year will aggregate s1,0o0, ,000, ,000, whereas heretofore the highest figure req ched s12 O0O O0O GOO

which has been sent to all command
ing officers. follows:
There was never a time in the his
tory of the great war more critical
than the present week overseas.
American valor and efficiency are
carrying the banner of democracy with
resistless force toward German soil.
The ardor of our fighting men must
not be cooled and the wonderful ini-
tiatiNe of our soldiers must not be
dulled by any failure on our part to
ously over the top. The people at
home must show themselves to be as
resolute as the soldiers at the front
are brave. No influence is so potent
in its stimulating effect on the people
of our country as the efficiency of our
men with the co1ors. Let every Ameri-
can soldier and every American officer
do his duty not only by subscribing
| himself but by urging those at HON.
| to do likewise.

mission of physicians to take charge
of the manufacture and use of all
vaccineS and sera in Chicago, in
Guiding the Rosenow vaccine. Another
commission was named to raise funds
for its manufacture and distribution.
Five days will be required to begin

now will provide a supply sufficient
for 1000 doses from his laboratories
at Rochester.
The vaccine is designed to provide
immunity from the disease. tho Doc
tor Rosenow is unwilling to make spe-
eific claims as to it's value. He be-
lieves it aided greatly to suppress
the spread of influenza at Rochester.

HARD TO weld
Coach OIcOtt Faces Task With
Great Lakes Squad.
Individually Brilliant, Stars Are
Difficult To Refrain.

Great Lakes. Ill. Oct. 17.-Herman
P. Olcott, head football coach at the
Great Lakes Naval Training station,
gives an interesting insight of the art
of welding together a team from a
squad of individually brilliant players,
forcing them to forget past lessons ana
impressing upon them his own ideas.
Olcott is dealing only with eighteen
karat players this year. His team
consists of the pick of the Western
conference in addition to a few all
star men from other colleges such as
| Notre Dame and Nebraska. Each and
| everyone of them has starred indi-
vidually for the past few seasons. In
most cases they carried their respec-
| tive teams. OF course, each served
under d different coach and absorbed
different ideas of the correct way to
play football.
/ Naturally when Olcott gathered
uality and mold them into one ma
chine, he found the path rough and
rocky.
II often hear football men remark
on my easy task of bringing out a
! team from my alI-star material" says
the head coach. ''Tll admit the ma
terial is there. I would not trade with
any coach in the country.
What Olcott Faces.
But the fact that the players are
famous makes my task all the more
| difficult. Each man has been brought
up on a certain style of football. He
has played that particular way for
three or four years as the case may
be. To him that is the only correct
way. Another player with just as
much experience and equally as IA
nous is just as certain that his method
of running. passing or blocking is
proper and must be followed. A
third has another style and so on.
Now, there are~ about thirty play
ers on my first squad assembled from
about twenty-five different schools
and twenty-five differently coaches,
each of whom have used entirely diff
ferent methods. I must wipe out all
of their past unless it comedies with
my way of teaching. And it is no
easy task to tell an All-Western man
his playing is wrong when by follow
| ing that style he has arisen to great
heights. Nor is it an easy task to get
an all-star team running smoothly in
team work, the most important of all
functions on the gridiron. Practice
alone will bring results, but 1 have
far from an easy task"
Stars on Squad.

coll of Northwestern, Dobson of Ne

day morning. If the reports today are
anything like as large as the reports
Wednesday. Topeka and Shawnee
county will be over the top tonight.
But in spite of the optimistic out
look for prompt oversubscription OF
the county quota, the strong arm COM
mittees are working today-working
on a definite list OF men and firms that
have not as yet done their full duty
by the United States government in
subscribing to the fourth war loan.
Excuses Hard to Make.
The strong arm committees today
had little tine-or inclination either
to listen to excuses as to why certain
persons and firms have not subscribed
to the fourth liberty loan. They de-
sire to know just one thing-how
much will the particular person or
firm subscribe for and how soon. The
why in the deal has no bearing what
ever-the firm and the individual must
come thru.
At the meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday evening, DR..
Edmund James Kulp gave the pep
speech. Doctor Kulp declared that il
is beyond belief that so many Shawnee
county and Topeka citizens have al
lowed themselves to be SO saturated
with the Hun peace talk that they
have fallen directly in line with Hun
Wishes ana nave 1dlleO TO support the
loan to the limit of their ability.
No Peace Without Surrender.
Doctor KuIp painted a picture of
Hun atrocities calculated to stir the
souls of mis- hearers and to abolish for
all time any thought of peace except
unconditional military surrender.
Kulp declared that much of the
money to be raised by the flotation
of the fourth liberty loan has already
| been spent ard he asserted that even
| If the war should end today that much
money will be needed to provide food
| and transport for the boys coming
| home.
