Liberty Loan, of approximately
six billion dollars. viii begin.
The fourth loan campaign will
bc more difficult then those that
have gone before. Much of the
easy or wholly idle money has
gone into previous loans. Other
war demands have called for great
volumes of money. The fourth
loan is the largest yet issued.
Especially in regions like the
far Southwest where there is no
war prosperity and no war indus

into circulation, raising oar quota
of this coming loan will be more
diificul, than has been the ease in
the past.
On the other hand there is
greater incentive To unsclflSh sup
port of the coming loan than for
any of the others. our men are IN
action now. They are IN victor

the mighty work they were sent to

SPREAD JAP ALARM!
Petrograd Reports 1000 Japs Landed
at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Deny 1t.

London, Friday, March S.-Details
of an alleged landing of Japanese
troops at Viadivostok in January are
given in the Petrograd newspaper
Novaia Zhizn, of January 10, which
has Just been received here. The pa
per says that the japanese cruiser
Mikaoo arrived January II, and was
followed by two more cruisers on
January IA.
Four thousand soldiers were landed
and numbers of officers continue to
arrive in Vladivostok daily, according
to the newspaper. The japanese ad-
miral assuerd the local workmen' s
and soldiers council that the arrival
of ships and troops should not be
considered as the beginning of mill
tary operations, but they were there
to protect Japanese subjects. The
MESA ge to the Novaia Zhizn says the
Vladivostok public was alarmed
greatly and that the revolutionary
committees were concentrating Boil
sheviki troops.
Information concerning the report
ed ,entrace of British and Japanese
cruisers into Vladivostok harbor was
asked of the British and Japanese
embassies in Petrograd on January
20 by the Boisheviki government. The
Japanese embassy in Petrograd i'm
mediately issued an official statement
denying the Japanese forces had
been landed at VladiVostok

FIVE MEETINGS HERE
State-Wid Conventions to Topeka
Next Week.

Five statewide conventions sched-
uled for Topeka next week will pro-
vide the new entertainment committee
its first chance to show the old COM
mittee the latest methods of greeting
the stranger in the gates.
The woman farmers are to be in
Topeka Wednesday for an aii-day con-
ference; the laundrymen and the
northeast Kansas bee keepers here on
Thursday, and the Automobile Trade
association and the Kansas Architects
association here Friday.
One of the principal features of the
laundrymen's convention on Thursday
will be the hearing of the rate case by
the state welfare commission. The
laundrymen will be on hand to put up
a vigorous fight against the mainte-
nance of the $3.50 wage ruling on the
contention that if the ruling is upheld
it will throw many of the laundry girls
out of work.
The architects are to have an au
tomobile ride thru the city, and will
then proceed to discuss trade condi-
lions at the Elks club.
The bee keepers expect to advo-
cate the use of honey instead OF sugar.
This meeting will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce. and E. o.
Atkins, of the bureau of entomology,
will be the speaker of the day.
Good roads, better methods OF dis
tribution of cars, and many otner
topics close to the heart of a motor
car dealer, will be the principal topics
of discussion at the meeting of the
Automobile Trades association
Just what the women farmers pro-
nose to do has not yet been announced.

WILL WITHHOLD ADDRESSES.
Will Give Out Only Names of Soldiers
on q. S. Casualty List.

Washington, March Issuance of
daily lists of casualties among the ex-
peditionary forces abroad has been
discontinued by the public informa-
ton committee as the result of an
order of the war department under
which the names of next of kin and
emergency addresses of soldiers whose
names appear on the lists, hereafter
will be withheld. The official explain
alton is that the purpose of the order
is to keep information of value from
the enemy.
On being informed of the order, the
committee took the position that long
lists of men killed or wounded would
be worthless TO the newspaper CORE
spondents without the addresses and a
notice was issued, advising the press
that in future all information regard
ing casualties must be obtained from
the war department At the adjutant
generals office it was stated that the
lists without addresses would continue
to be sent and would be availabl
there.
The nearest relative of every soldier
who may be killed or wounded will
be notified by the department. as
heretofore.
To the press the order means that
each newspaper must depend on the
messages to relatives to get the names
of men from its own community who
are killed or wounded.

cal representative of the company,
gave the supper as the eliminating
event in team contest in the sale of
the company's papers. The $50 boys
attending range in age from to Is.
The speaker of the evening was Ray
McLarty, district director for the sales
department Of the company, with
headquarters at Kansas City. He said
in his speech that no town in his dis
trict the size of Topeka had SO large
and able force of young statesmen.
The address was concerned with the
principles of craftsmanship as applied
to the sales of the Curtis papers by the
boys.
