a tremendous task. From now until

daily subscriptions must average
S416, 100000 if all the Sc, 900, 100000 IS
to be disposed of during this period

BACK THE BOYS
McAdOO Asks Support of Loan
Over Every Other Act.
Now Is Time To Fight Harder,
He Says in Appeal.

Washington, Oct I'm an appeal
to the people not to let victories on
the battlefield and peace overtures
from the enemy interfere with the
fourth liberty loan. Secretary McAdoo
said today: "Our boys in the trenches
are not going to stop fighting because
the enemy is on the run. Now is the
time to fight harder and keep moving
until the victory is clinched."
Over Sunday reports provide little
reason for optimism in the campaign,
treasury officials stated. Intensive
prepare tory work was the only en-
morning messages of Sunday activities.
The staggering sum of $4,000, 000, 900
is larger by 200 per cent than any sum
than the liberty doan workers have
been called upon to raise in two weeks
in any previous campaign. In many
sections of the country house to
house canva ssing will be resorted to
in addition to- the coInbing of business
houses for subscriptions. Treasury
officials admitted that no stone can be
left unturned if pledges sufficient to
amount to the minimum sum are to be
obtained.
Put Tenth Over.
Kansas City, Oct. AFTER a week
of intensive publicity. during which
no liberty loan subscriptions have been
taken other than in informal pledges.
the Tenth federal reserve district to-
day launched an intensive drive in

played, are confident the desired goal
will be attained.

concerning back pay for the common
laborers for the Santa Fe Railroad
company, has been written by Santa
Fe laborers in Topeka and signed by
william Mallory, of 400 Van Buren,

Mallory discusses the high wages
paid to the skilled mechanics and their
helpers, with the eisht-hour day and
overtime pay, pointing out that the
cost of provisions for the unskilled
laborer and his family is as high as it
is for the trained mechanic.
The letter also asks that the regula-
ton prohibiting negroes from becom-
ing helpers. mechanics, and workers
in the higher classes of service, be
removed, inasmuch as the negro work
ers have proven themselves worthy of
more consideration than they have re-
ceived, and that as citizens in demo-

titled to just chance to advance.

MAKE GERMANS GIVE UP
DR.. KuIp Says No Peace Is Wanted
Until They Surrender.

In a talk on Lloyd George made by
DR.. Edmund J. Kulp at the First
Methodist church Sunday night Doctor
Kulp voiced what should be the senti-
ment of the entire civilized world in
these words, Peace, who wants
peace? With Bulgaria, the back door,
kicked in and the house standing wide
open. is this any time to talk peace?"
Doctor kulp expressed the belief
which has been also demonstrated
time and time again in the cases of
soldiers returning from the front that
Germany should be whipped until she
is SO subdued that she voluntarily ac-
cepts any and all terms the allies care
to advance, then only will anything
have been gained by the years of
slaughter. He believes that France
and Belgium should be given the ut
most consideration, their boundaries
restored, and indemnities paid in mon
ey for all that has been destroyed as
nearly as money can pay for the wan
! ton destruction wrought in these two
countries. Doctor Kulp places Lloyd
George, as an exponent of the prin-
ciples of democracy. on par with
Abraham Lincoln.

ONLY ONE CARRIER
Spinal Meningitis Suspect Free From
Danyer-Epidemic Fear Over.

Dan rear ONtTs
Out of all the scraping of threats
and gathering and examining cultures
during the time of the recent men
nights scare, which has since been
overshadowed by the infleunza cpl
demic, one carrier was discovered. 1t
is considered by DR.. H. L. Clark, city
health officer, that it is extreme good
fortune that out of the many people
exposed, only one carrier was found,
young woman who only met and
talked at Kellam's hall, with the
young man who died recently from
meningitis.
Besides doing a more or less large
amount of amateur detective work in
assembling for examination the many
persons who were exposed the city
health authorities were greatly assist
ed in their work by the information
turned in. by persons who displayed
the proper spirit in their effort to as
have become an epidemic. Many who
had been exposed or even imagined
they had been exposed to some one
else who had been exposed reported to
their family physicians for immediate
examination.
The case of the carrier was handled
with the utmost precaution to prevent
any possible infection and besides nu-
merous cultures being taken the young
woman was given the most skilled
medical attention in Kidding the glands
of the throat from infection. Accord
ing to Doctor Clark, he feels satisfied
that any spreading of meningitis in
Topeka has been averted. All posi-
BILE channels for the spread of infec-
ton by the young man who died few
weeks ago have been Investigated and
have proved to be entirely free from
carriers. The one carrier is now
shown from microscopic examinations
of cultures to be entirely free from
infection and has been permitted to
resume her work
