BIC KANSAS CALL
State May Use Men of IS Glass
To Fill August Quota.
Latest Draft VIII Take 1000
Men to Funston August s.,

Kansas will doubtless call men from
the 1918 classes in order to fill August
draft quotas. Present records show
about 700 men in the state from which
to fill an active service quota of 1000
men and partial service quotas of
nearly $50 men. Other calls will be
made during the month and it is prob
able that a number of men registered
June 5, this year, will be called to the
colors.
Redistribution of 1917 registrants
has provided a large number of new
men and the new orders will aid
greatly in filling the August demands.
There are but few men remaining in
class 1 in Topeka. Draft officials place
the total for Topeka city at less than
rs, altho the new orders will place
number of men with deferred CLASH
fications in the advance ranks. SINH
lar action in other cities and counties
will aid in meeting the first August
call.
Under the orders as issued from
Washington, Kansas will send 1000
dates of August 5 and 8. Practically
all of the places in the special induc-
ton calls will be filled by men from
limited service classes. A few class 1
men will be needed, however and the
state must also meet a demand for
more men at Camp Funston to offset
detectives returned to their home sta
tons because inability to meet mill
tary requirements in physical tests.
AS a consequence Kansas will be far
short of available men if the August
quotas for the state equal those of
June and July.

PLAY FOOTBALL ANYHOW
Big Eastern Universities Will Not : ct
War Interfere.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

BY JACK VE1OCK.
New York, July 1S.-Intercollegi-
ate football is going to be played by a
majority of the big eastern universities
this fall.
This move was decided upon at a
of many big institutions of learning
at Philadelphia With the members of
the central board of intercollegiate
football officials.
Tho Yale, Harvard and Princeton
wer- not represented at the session,
they were the only large schools not
included, and the absence of their rep
resentatives is not taken to mean that
football will be passed up by the big
trio.
AS was the case last summer, the
feeling of uncertainty over what might
come to pass prior to the time for
starting football practice has kept atf1-
letic officials at a number of schools
from expressing themselves, but tn .
sentiment everywhere is strong for a
general resumption of the game by
schools which played it Informally last
year.
Pennsylvania university set glow
ing example for all schools by COM
ing out strong with the announcement
that not only football but every col.
1egiate sport in which it would be
possible TO turn out teams will be fos-
tered during the coming year, includ.
ing the grid game this fall.

New York, July 1S.-The present
war is war of revenge" long desired
by the n-Germans, writes Kurd Won
Strantz, a Pan-German leader, in a
hook entitled "Our National War
Goal" published in Germany.
German newspapers received here
quote the author as saying:
War of Retaliation.
I'm my boyhood days the German
war of retaliation as we must name
this world war correctly. was the
dream of my life, the realization OF
which I have never despaired of, al
tho I did doubt that I would live to
see = in view of the Unfortunate peace
policy followed by the post-Bismarcl--
ian administration.
But I have lived to enjoy that hap
piness. By word and letter I have
fought for this war of revenge, which
finally is to restore our old national
and political frontiers which we had
gradually lost in the east and west
since 1852. Neither 1915 nor 1871
restored those frontiers.
bismarck started our national rise
but he did not complete it. His dis
charge impeded the victory-pronising
course, as his successor gave half OF

compensation to our new arch-enemy,
England. Herewith began the de-
scent which only this world war could
arrest and which 1 longed for and

OPPOSE Intervention
Powerful Jap Faction Against Siber-
ian Action at This Time.

London, July 1s.-A meeting OF the
Japanese advisory council called for
Monday to approve decisions taken by
the government was postponed owing
to the OPPOSITION of Messrs. Takino and
Hara, says a dispatch to the Times
from Toxic dated Monday 1t was
reported that Mr.. Takino represents
the views of the Satsuma Clan who
hold that the situation is not yet crit
1cal enough to necessitate japanese
action, and that it would be perilous
to stake Japan's fortunes before a
German invation actually endangers
Japan.
The council, 1t is added, was then
ordered to meet on Tuesday.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Toxic, dated July IS and received
Tuesday, reported that a special meet
ing of the Japanese cabinet was held
Saturday. 1t was added that the meet
ing was attended by army officers and
that it was believed some communica-
ton concerning Russia had been re-
ceived from the American govern
ment. The Satsuma is one of the
most powerful clans in Japan and sup
ports the present imperial govern
ment- The exact nature of the jap
anese advisory council is not clear,
but the privy council list does not con-
tain the names of Takino and Hara.

WHY WE OBSERVE BRITAIN DAY

This is Britain day. And we can cele-
brate it with due fervor if not by FIRE
works and much noise We can celebrate
it because of what Great Britain is and
because of what Great Britain has done
for the United States during the last few
years. Indeed the whole world undoubt-
eddy owes debt to Great Britain for
stepping in and placing a great bostacle
in the path of the would be world tyrant.
When, almost without warning, the Ger
man armies burst the frontier barrier
and rushed into Belgium unbidden and
without permission they found small
force OF the Old Contemptibles barring
their way to an easy conquest Of France,
together with the forces brought by little
Belgium and the availables sent by
France From that day TO this Great
Britain has stood as the solid rock in the
way of the tyrant.
For years she was the banker of the
allies, furnishing the sinews Of war lib.
orally and without stint For the whole
period of the war her grand feet kept
the German warships bottled up and
Germany's commerce reduced to nothing,
while at the same time the commerce of
the allies was enabled to continue to q
considerable degree After much travail,
too, Great Britain built up an army that
stood the brunt of the assaults of the foe
delivered in the most ferocious fashion
That army, strongly supported by the
French and in conjunction with The Bel.
gians and the Italians stood off the mon
ster after the collapse Of Russia until the
United States could get her fine army
onto the field Of conflict And, over and
above these material things, Great Brit
ain provided an indomitable spirit which
served to keep several of the allies in line
although they were faltering in their
courage in the face of the tremendous
military machine built up by the detested
Hohenzolerns.
These are a few of the things which
Great Britain has done for the world and
incidentally for the United States Some.
times there is tendency to bark back
to old days and again to consider Brit,
aims present day acts with repugnance
but when all is summed up Great Britain
is a pretty good friend of the United
States and, besides, stands for some Of
the best things in the world So we can
celebrate Britain day with deep sincerity
knowing that our cousins across the sea
are standing with us for the best inter,
ests of the world as whole.

Now that the allies are getting ready
to sit around the conference table to pre-
pare terms by which they dictate peace
to Germany, there must be feeling of
regret in Russia, even among the most
rabid element, that Russia is not TO be
included in the circle of the former en-.
tente allies There will be regret that
Russia by passively allowing herself to
become a victim to treachery, even
though it could not be termed direct
treachery to her allies, became counted
out of the circle of nations which are
now the victors in the great war Had
Russia stayed in the war even to the ex-
tent of maintaining defensive line
against the attacks of the Germans, Rus
STA would have had an honored place in
the council table with the allies to-day,
Instead of that; Russia is forced to be a
rank outsider, taking whatever may fall
to her lot in the negotiations. Loyal
Russians must have their souls wrung
with agony to see this pitiful condition
of once great nation.

THE NATION Is SPARED ONE NOR.
LITIGATION.

The action of the foreign relations
committee Of the United States Senate
in rejecting unanimously the proposal of
Senator Cummins of Iowa to send dele
CATION of senator's to Paris to spy out
the doings of the peace conference re-
moves one possibility of making the
United States more or less ridiculous be-
fore the entire world. The spectacle of
one branch of the United States govern
ment being represented at the peace con.
ference and another branch sitting on
the doorsteps waiting for report of the
doings inside would give the impression
that the United States is very loosely
knit governmental organization and that
we live and move and have our being in
mutual distrust Of each other That
manifestation of two sides Of our nature
would be very disquieting to Europeans
who are beginning to look upon democ-
raey as the finest form of government
that could be hoped for on this mundane
sphere; they would certainly get the inn
preston that if the great democracy Of
the United States is such ramshackle
