BIC ARM0RY HERE
Hotel, Fourth and Quincy,
Taken Over by State.
Three-Story Building To Be
Converted at Once.

The state has secured the three
story brick building at the southeast
corner of Fourth and Quincy streets
as an armory for the several National
Guard units being organized in To-
peka, Sncluding Compay H of the
Fourth infantry, which is already in
service. This building was used as a
hotel up to a short time ago. The top
floor is to be converted into a single
Jorge room for drilling purposes.
The rooms on the other floors will
be used as orderly rooms for the COM
missioned and noncommissioned Off
GERS of the several organizations for
places to store equipment, and for
recreation rooms. There will also be
well appointed dining room and
kitchen.
At least two National Guard COM
panles are now in process of forma-
ton and it is expected that there will
be four companies all told before the
close of another year. AS the State
Guard was enlisted for the period OF
the war and one year after and is
therefore not a permanent organiZa
ton, many of its officers and mer
having expressed an intention of en-
tering the National Guard, and are
SO doing.
Company H is at present located or
the second and third floors of the
building at Nos. liz and ia Eas,
Seventh street, where it will probably
remain for the rest of the winter a.
it will take considerable time to pre-
pare the new quarters for occupancy

THE RED CROSS.
Dedicated to c. b. Merriam.
This is the Cross that casts no shadow as
it stands.
Uplifted over all the peoples and their
lands;
Wherever want or woe are found,
on enemy or friendly ground.
For battle wounds or pestilence,
For wrongs to childhoOd's innocence,
This is the Cross that bears upon its arms
extended
The healing that in God and man is
blended.
This is the Cross that bears the sorrows OF
the world;
Upon its rugged tenderness all flags un-
furled:
Humanity is all its creed,
Its hymn is human creatures need,
Its mercy is as wide Is heaven,
Which like a universal leaven
Takes the coarse grain grown from the
earthly sod
And changes it to bread fresh moulded by
the hands of God.
This is the Cross that dying men lift UT
their hands to bless.
In hospital and fever camp it leaves its COO
caress,
1t knows no duty but to save
1t has no fear of death or grave,
1t stands for ell mankind a light.
The glow of Love in darkest night;
This is the Cross that casts up shadow tC
appal.
The Sunshine of Gods mercy on all sides
of it doth fall.

Topeka Lieutenant Will Help
Fight Flu Epidemic.
Only Is New Cases Reported

1t was announced today by Commits
sioner w. L. Porter, that Lieut.. For
rest L. Loveland, who has just re-
turned from the army had been hired

land was at Camp Devens when the
influenza first appeared there, the
first place in the United States where
the disease first took hold. He has
had considerable experience with the
disease and has also a thoro under
standing of the methods and treat
ments used by the government in
fighting the spread of the epidemic
which has swept the country. The
work of the department will be di-
vided between DR.. H. L. Clark and
Dr. Forrest L. Loveland in such a
manner as to avoid any possible dupli-
cation of work.
According to Commissioner Porter
the effort will be made to reduce the
disease to a minimum and then at
tempt to keep it there.

ance as yet that the restrictions will

reduce the daily number of cases tC
the lowest possible minimum before
making any changes in order to make
sure that it will not be necessary tc

the present regulations are declared
off.

AN ORDER TO PASTORS
Some of Them, However, Talked Too
Long for Own Good.

Washington, Dec. 14.-German
Lutheran pastors were instructed to
preach pro-German sermons before
the United States entered the war,
Captain Lester, of the army intelli-
gence service. told the senate propa-
ganda investigating committee today.
and some of the pastors who joined
the army later and continued preach
ing favorably to Germany now are in
the Atlanta prison.
On the other hand, Captain Lester
said, other Lutheran ministers were
wholly loyal and aided in giving the
government information. He said
representatives of the larger German
Lutheran synods informed the intel
ligence service that unfortunately
some ministers were disloyal and that
steps were being taken to get them
out of the church.
Describing unsuccessful efforts of
German propagandists among Ameri-
can negroes, the witness said word was
passed among the negro recruits that
if Germany won and occupied the
United States. a portion of the coun-
try would be turned over to them
exclusively.
