FOR 1919 ". S. S.
S. Face Value Will Sell in
January for $4.12.
Increase One Cent Month as
1918 Ones.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The program
for the sale of war savings stamps in
1919, announced today by the treas
ury, is almost identical with that fol-
lowed this year, as relating to cost of
the stamps in various months. In
January, the stamps worth IS face
value will be sold for $4.12, and will
increase 1 cent a month until next
December. They will not mature un-
til January 1, 1924, or one year later
than the stamps now on sale.
Thrift stamps costing 25 cents each
will be sold thruout the year. They
will be identical in design and size
with the present thrift stamps, but
will be blue instead of green; the war
savings stamps, also blue, are consid
erably smaller than the present issue.
New cards on which savings stamps
are to be attached will be issued and
1919 stamps should not be attached
to old cards. If war savings certifi-
cate has been only partially filled
with this years war savings stamps,
it will be entirely valid and may be
redeemed eventually at the maturity
value of the stamps it bears. The
new stamps will go on sale January 1
Indications now are that the sale
of war savings stamps this year will
be about a billion dollars. as S93O,09O.-

HUNS HAD PLANS
In July, 1914, Had Prepared
for World Conflict.
Sent PrOpagandists All Over
World To Do Work.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The German
government on July 10, 1914, informed
about 130 German civilian employees
at a conference in Berlin that a world
war would be started soon, Capt. G. B.
Lester of the army intelligence service
testified today before the senate com
mittee Investigating German and
brewers propaganda.
These employees then were dis
patched to all parts of the world,
thirty-one coming to the United States
to stimulate pan-German propaganda,
Captain Lester declared.
He said his information came from
an unnamed informant, now interned
in this country.
The German propagandists landed
in the United States in 1914 on the
same boat with DIR. H. F. Albert,
known as the paymaster of the enemy
propaganda system in this country,
and Immediately formed the nucleus
for German propaganda.
These propagandists were chosen by the
German government. Captain Lester testi-
fled, because of their knowledge of foreign
languages, their ability to write and their
knowledge of legal and public matter in
general
The army officer explained that he did
not feel justified in giving the name of his
informant on the ground that this man
might wish to return to Germany after be-
ing released from internment. Pan-Ger-
man propaganda was started by Germany
in 1891 as a means of carrying Germa u
ideas to every country in the world. Cap

Planning the Details.
Governor Capper Greatly Inter-
ested in New Project.

Governor Capper has been assured
by the Standard Aircraft corporation
that Topeka is to be placed on a cross
country air-mail route. Plans sent out
by the corporation from its office in
Elizabeth. N. J., put Topeka on the
map as the only stop between Kansas
City and Denver.
While official confirmation of the
plan must come from the postal de-
partnient at Washington, it is quite
apparent that Kansas will land a
place on the proposed new air-mail
service west of Chicago. Under plans
now being considered Topeka will
probably be the only stopping place in
Kansas. Governor Capper is an ardent
believer in the proposed plan for ex-
tension of the air-nail service and will
urge that Kansas be recognized in the
selection of distribution routes.
Topeka Only Stop.
"I have been much interested in this
proposed air-mail SERVICE" the governor
said today, 'and am glad one of the pro-
posed lines passes thru this state. While

Relay Recitation Plan Aban-
dOned in Schools.
New Assignment Schedule Is
Adopted by Board.
RECEIVE WORK ON MONDAY
Pupils Will Be Held Response
BILE for Dictated Study.
System Will Obviate All Dan
ger of Flu Epidemic.

The Topeka school board has de-
cided that the experiment of keeping
school on the relay plan is not a sue
cess. At meeting OF thesboard called
today, decision was reached to try
another method of allowing children
to go on with their school work if they
wished. Hence. teachers will be in
their class rooms next Monday, as they
are today, and students can get as
signments of work for which they will
be held responsible when school opens
again. However. recitations will not
be held during the continuance of the
closing order. Assignments for two
weeks work will be made. and special
arrangements can be made by pupils
to get the assignments by mail, if they
them direct from the teachers.
No Danger of Flu Then.
The board believes that this plan
will obvaite any possible danger of a
spread of the contag gion thru the
schools. and will still enable pupils
who wish to carry on to have some
thing to work for. Some members OF
the board were opposed to continuing
the plan of opening the schools for
attendance in relays on account of the
responsibility they felt such an action
carried. and also because the at
tendance today was too low to justify
the carrying out of the arrangement
In the grade schools this morning
the percentage of attendance was 25
and in the high school 25. The junior
high schools showed a 40 per cent at.
tendance. The marked falling off il
attendance at the schools Signified IL
| the board that the opening plan wa.
not proving satisfactory.

Scheidemann's statement as to Ameri-

of Germany.

persistently denied that any such oc-
cupatioin is now contemplated. While
a state of utter anarchy would doubt

stated strongly that there is now nc
intention to interfere internally il
