IN Q telegram to William q. Nc
Adoo, director general Of Transports
ton, Governor Capper appealed to him
for an order placing the Pittsburg'
Joplin interurban railway system un'
der federal control. The lines Of this
railway in Missouri and Kansas total
nearly 100 miles. Governor Capper
sent the urgent telegram to Director
McAdoo because of a strike on the
line has tied up seventeen coal mines
that have daily production Of 2,40C
tons. Every effort of the local and
state authorities for settlement Of
the strike has failed. P. ]. Mcbride
state labor commissioner, went tc
Pittsburg and Joplin and tried to in
duce the strikers to return to work.
Governor Capper appealed to the lead
ers to settle their differences, setting
out the dire need of the coal that lie
daily moved by the interurban com
pany. Failing in all these efforts the
governor recently urged an immediate
order placing the Pittsburg-Joplin line
under federal control and operation.

NEWS ITEMS FROM
ALL over KANSAS
Happenings Of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
STOCKMEN FILE A PROTEST
Kansas Feeders Want Profit Guaran-
tees From Government If the
Packers Get Them.

Are the packers alone to have a
guarantee given them by the govern
ment on their business, while the Kan
sas farmers and stockmen get what
they can of profit or take their losses
on their stock? This is the question
submitted recently to j. p. Cotton,
head of the meat division of the gov
ernment Food Administration, by J.
H. Mercer, secretary Of the Kansas
Live Stock Association.
"The public is quite disturbed over
the information that has gone out
through the press that the govern
ment has licensed the packer" said
Mr.. Mercer, in a letter to Mr. Cotton.
"The information is that the govern
ment is guaranteeing the packer 8
ped cent net earning on his business,
and a certain percentage of monthly
turn over earnings. Is this statement
true, and if so, is it fair proposition
to guarantee, and let the feeders to
that business go unguaranteed in their
efforts? | do not know whether the
packers have been guaranteed any net
earnings or otherwise, but the feeders
throughout our section Of the country
believe So"

A trust and combination alleged to
exist between Hutchinson electricians
is slated for an airing when the suit
filed recently by w. M. Gates, of that
city, is heard in the supreme court.
The suit is one of mandamus to COM
pei State Auditor F. w. Knapp to audit
voucher totaling $1,555 for the cleo
trical wiring of the agricultural ex-
hibit building two years ago. When
this bill was audited by the State Fair
managers and passed up to the auditor
for audit, Attorney General Brewster
advised that it be not allowed. He
said the several electrical firms went
into combination, and that the bid
ders who failed to land the contract
were to share in the matter, the whole
thing, as Mr.. Brewster said, being
thrown into a Jackpot" When the
matter comes to a hearing before the
supreme court the attorney general
will be able, 1t Is understood, u pro-
duce abundant evidence as to the
Hutchinson electrical trust and COM

FREEDOM IN SIGHT
Poland Now Has Opportunity to
Strike Off Her ShaCkIeS.
War In Which the United States 10
Engaged Against the Hohenzollern
Plotters Offers Chance to Un-
fortunate Race.

Every Pole, and there are many thou
sands of Americans of Polish descent,
knows Prussia is the hereditary enemy
of Poland. Ever since the tenth CEN
tury, when the Polish king, Boleslas,
known as the Brave, was forced to de-
fend his territories from the brigand
Borusi, or Prussians, lying to the
north, that sinister power plotted the
undoing of the Polish people. That
ruin has been completed, as far as ma
tonal life is concerned. There is no
Poland today. Poland existed, at the
start of this world war, ONLY as a
vague district in eastern Europe,
ruled, or rather misruled, by Prussia,
Austria and the Russia of the czar.
1t was in the early part of the sew
enteenth century that Prussia united
with the electorate of Brandenburg.
All Prussian alliances have been for
offensive purposes, and this early al
lance with the Hohenzollern family
marked the first determined effort by
Prussia to subjugate Poland, for it was
under the Hohenzollern kings of Prus-
sia that Saxony, Bavaria, Austria and
the old Russia engaged in the long
series of wars and secret treaties and
alliances that eventually brought about
the erasement of Poland from the po-
litical map of Europe. -
This murder of state took place
under Frederick the Great, the one
king Of Prussia who, with the excep-
tion Of the present Wilhelm H., did
more than any other Prussian king to
embroil Europe in war to the advance
ment Of his own country's political
aims and the enlargement of its terri
tories. Wilhelm II, direct lineal de-
scendant Of Frederick the Great, is to-
day no more kindly disposed toward
the Poles than was his crafty and un-
scrupulous ancestor, who arranged and
completed the final dismemberment Of
Poland; and Wilhelm II has no more
intention Of giving the Poles their po-
litical and economic freedom than had
Frederick the Great when he robbed
them of their priceless heritage.
The United States today is engaged
in war against this line of disturberS
Of the peace of Europe, these Hohen-
Zollern plotters against the liberties
Of free peoples. President Wilson
has pledged this nation to an auton-
onous Poland. The thousands of Poles
who sought freedom here, and found it,
after centuries Of oppression, have
devoted their sons to the cause of de-
mocracy. They soon will have an OPP
portunity to perform an equally splen-
did service toward the cause Of freeing
Poland from Prussian misrule. They
may help in this great cause by lend
ing their money to the United States
government.
Every Liberty bond and Thrift
stamp purchased by Americans Of Pol
ish descent means that the day Of
reckoning for the HohenzOllern family
is fastened. President Wilson has said
Poland must be free. The Poles here
in America can help free the old
home land. Their dollars can fight
along with their sons who have gone
to the front to wage the war of free
dom.-From the Treasury Department

SIMS PREDICTED
Naval ALLIANCE
With ENGLAND
Prophecy Made in 1910 Came
True Daniels Points Out in
Speech.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Dec. lin
a speech before Young Mems Christian
Association workers here Josephus
Daniels. secretary of the Navy, made
a striking reference to Admiral Sims,
and the incident of December, 1910,
when. then only commander, Sims
declared in a speech at London. that
II the time ever came when the British
Empire was seriously menaced by an
enemy, America would rally to British
support with every man, dollar, and
drop Of blood.
THE fact that the President recent
ly promoted Vice Admiral Sims to be
full Admiral Of the Navy" said Mr..
Daniels, SHOWS that In the American
Navy no one mistake Of judgment or
honest error precludes any naval Of
ficer from the highest promotion
"As a young officer Admiral Sims,
then Commander Sims, received rep
rimand from the President OF the
United States and serious rebuke
from the Secretary of the Navy be-
cause at dinner given by the Lord
Mayor of London, Commander Sims,
in reply to the address of welcome OF
the Lord Mayor, said: II the time
ever comes when the British Empire
is seriously menaced by an external
enemy, it is my opinion that you may
count upon every man, every dollar,
every drop of blood Of your kindred
across the sea.
Time has demonstrated that Ad-
miral Sims was a true prophet. ana
the years 1918 witnessed the literal
fulfillment Of his prediction. To be
sure, America did not enter the war
RS an ally of Great Britain as ma
ton, but became associated with Eu-
rope In the big war because the princi-
pies of freedom dear to every free ma
ton were seriously menaced. Then
both English speaking nations in con-
cert with other governments with KIN
dred spirit, resolved to spend every
dollar and every drop Of blood that
the naht of liberty should not be ex-
tiuguishcd,
There Is one outstanding blessing
that came to the world out of the
tragedy of war. and that is the perfect
cooperation and sympathy and COM
radeship between the American and
British navies They worked together
during the struggle in close co-opera-
ticn with other allied navies. They
are together now. and must forever
be together in the resolve to protect
what their valor has won, and pre-
serve alike for themselves and all the
world the complete freedom OF the
seas"
