London, Oct. 25.-In Sweden one
is disagreeably struck by the number
people who pseak German. When
asked question in English, a Swede,
be he a policeman or a civilian, in
variably countered in German. AT
hotels and restaurants few porters
and walters understand or speak
English. In book-shops English
books and magazines are few, while
German are largely represented.
1t is different in Norway, English is
taught at school, and nearly everybody
one meets, from the porter at the
station to ones neighbor at the din

The windows in the book shops are
full of English and American publica.

strange name. 1t is an ancient cha
teau, built 600 years ago, in the
thirteenth century, and one Of the
marvels of Gothic architectural con-
struction. 1t is used now as the Unit.

title known to all, officers and men.
Being christened as a United States
ship, even the battlements have be-

dungeon, sailor guided me upward
by saying:
"This way, sir, to the main deck"
And we climbed up the "hatchway'
of crumbling stones-to the main

feet thick.

WELCOME, CAPTAIN SHAW.

Topeka wishes all the success pos
sible to Capt Frank E. Shaw and his
little army of men going into training
on the washburn college campus.
Fine types of Kansas young men
are reporting to the captain for ex-
animation and registration at the COL
lege gymnasium this week. Already
one barracks accommodating ESQ men
has been filled and it is probable that
another will be constructed at once
to take care of the men who are still
coming in.
This Washburn camp will be in To-
peka until the war ends-possibly it
is the nucleus for rev form of uni
versal training that the government
will inaugurate after the war. Under
any circumstances, it is Topeka's own
unit of soldier boys and the old town
intends to take good care of them.
Captain Shaw states that the men
will be at liberty Satur lay evenings
and Sundays. Here is a good oppor-
tunity for the city to make special
plans for the boys entertainment
Nothing is too good for them. A ma
jority come from out of town and de-
serve. occasionally a little of the
home comforts they have left to don
the olive drab.
Captain Shaw is eleancut and
strictly military type army man. He
is going to give his men the best OF
his experience and instruction.
The city will join with him in every
effort to make the training of value
to the government

KANSAS MILLS FINED
Winfield Companies Failed To Pay a
'Fair Price" for Wheat.

Wichita, Sept. 25.-Three Winfield
flour mill companies. which failed to
pay a fair price" for wheat August
1, and 8, were penalized total of
s606 by the federal food administrator
for Kansas here today. The money
will go to the Cowley county Red
Cross.
In addition to the penalties the mil
lers were instructed to pay approxi-
nately $500 to farmers of Cowley
county to cover the difference between
the prices paid to farmers on those
three days in August for their wheat
and a fair price" as paid by these
same mills July 81 and August A.
The mills concerned are the Win
field Flour Mills company, which was
penalized $500; the Alexander Milling
company, $500, and the Adams Mill
ing and Grain company, 500. The
size of the penalties was based on the
size of each milling company and the
amount of wheat purchased below a
fair price on the three days.

Pardon us for exploiting our men,
barship in the Mutual Admiration So
ciety but read what William Allen
Y hite has to say about the Kansas
newspapers: Still there are old-fash-
toned people who feel that no property
in erests, whether in beer or whisky
or iron or oil or what not, should. own
n wspapers to make sentiment. They
feel that the foundation upon which a
newspaper rests should be undefiled
b. any special interest. 1t may be
said for the Kansas press that it is the
cleanest press in the country because
it is the freest. Excepting a few news
papers in the southern and eastern
part of the state not Kansas newspa-
per is owned by any sinister group of
capitalists. The editors own their own
papers in Kansas; the papers are
money makers, and the views of the
Kansas press reflect the views of con-
scicntious editors. They differ wide
ly, but they are all decent. There is
no prostitution in the Kansas press.

State War Council Defers Policy on
Wages for Women.

After being in session since Tuesday
morning, the state war board ad-
journed this afternoon without having
taken any action relative to the wages
or hours of women employed in rail-
road yards and shops in Kansas and
in factories of the state.
The board went into the matter of
wages and hours. and acquainted it.
self with conditions as they exist, but
decided that it would be unwise to
take any definite action until it is
learned what action the war labor
policy board will take when it meets
in Washington on September 80. In
order that it might have a thoro I'M
derstanding of the policies the national
board will adopt, it was decided that
Miss Lima Bresette, secretary of the
industrial welfare commission, should
attend the Washington meeting and
the board unanimously recommended
that she be sent to Washington.
The Kansas board is anxious to CO.
operate with the federal authorities in
every way possible and feels that it
will be able to do so more intelligently
after Miss Bresette has attended the
national labor board meeting.
