MAKE COLLEGE SOLDIERS
Kansas State Institutions Have
Trained zoos Men This Summer.

Four Kansas educational institu-
tons are now devoted to training men
for the army. During this summer
1908 men have been taking military
trades courses and on October l an
additional 500 will be added to the
present number, according to State
Manager Kipban. These forces are
distributed now as follows: at Kansas
University, 500; State Agricultural
College at Manhattan, 500: Fort Hays
Normal School. 1o4. and Quindafo In
stitute, 104 (colored):
These men are being taught voca
tional trades. They are men who
either have volunteered or have Joined
the army thru the selective service
Graft. At the state university and the
agricultural college large classes are
being taught radio biography. Elec-
trica1 and mechanical engineering,
carpentry, cement construction, black
smithing auto and truck repairing
are among the largest classes now re-
ceiving instruction. For the auto re-
pair work used trucks and cars are
being utilized. These are entirely dis
mantled and reassembled by the stu
dent-soldiers.
The additional force of soldiers will
join these classes on October 1. Five
hundred more will be placed at the
agricultural college; one hundred at
the state university. The contracts
with the state run three months, the
first one expiring October 1. Not only
are the soldiers instructed at the in
stitutions, but they are housed and
fed on the grounds, except at Kansas
university where it hasn't sufficient
kitchen facilities to handle so large a
force of "boarders."
At the head of the work of instruct
ing soldiers in state institutions, in this
district which embraces several states,
is Dean A. A. Potter, head of the en-
cheering department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
A representative of the war depart
ment recently visited the Kansas in
situations where soldiers are now re-
ceiving instruction. He told State
! Manager Kimball by next July l,
100000 men will have been taught
vocational trades in the educational
| institutions of the country, 140 of
which now are engaged in this work.

night These petitions were drawn up
and started by the committee of lay
men in charge of the union meetings.
About 140 persons, all of whom indi
cate that they heard the fateful SER
mon, signed the petition, which is
worded as follows:
I'VE. the undersigned. having heard
the sermon by Rev. Harvey E. Phil
lips Sunday evening August Is, 1918
for alleged disloyal utteranees, desire
to go on record as believing in his abb
solute loyalty to the United States gov
eminent. What he said did not con-
vey to US the impression that he was
in any way opposed to the vigorous
prosecution of the war
Want His Release.
Reports today, indicate that the
good church folk of the West side are
bringing every possible pressure to
bear on their recalcitrant brethren in
an effort to try-and keep Harvey E.
Phillips from going to trial. One of
the many arguments put forth by the
friends and the relatives of the ac-
cused minister is that lit is unEodly
to prosecute a minister for ar senti-
ments- he may express from the pull
pit"
district of the city agree that this is
no time to stir up religious strife in
Topeka. They agree that there is bit
one religion today-the prosecution OF
the war and the stamping out of
Hunnism and Kultur." On this basis
the good folk urge that Preacher
Phillips be released from custody
because" they say. his arrest and
coming trial have divided the church
people among themselves to the det-
riment of the war"
Phillips is a graduate of Washburn
| college and is in Topeka on vacation
from his missionary work in Egypt.

County Superintendent, Re-
nominated, Leaves Ticket.
Republicans Must Fill Place so
Days Before Election.
SEAMAN TO SUCCEED HER
Believed That Acting Officer
Will Be Named by Party.
Miss COrbet Goes Overseas
With Red Cross Soon.

Miss MEdna CoTbet has resigned
her candidacy for reelection as coun-
ty superintendent of schools, subse
quent to her enlistment in the Red
Cross for overseas duty, it was an
nounced this morning by John T.
Clancy, chairman of the Republican
county central committee.
This action by Miss Corbet was
taken, il was pointed out, in order
that the Republican party might be
absolutely certain of a nominee for
the office of county superintendent for
the coming election in November. An
apparent conflict of authority in the
Red Cross made the question as to
whether Miss Corbet would have to
resign following her enlistment one Of
uncertainty
1--WE regret that circumstances are
such that Miss Corbet deems it neces-
sary to resign" said Mr.. CLANCY, but
IL she insists we can only do our duty
in accepting her resignation and nomi-
mating another party for the office.
The siXty-one members of the central
committee will meet at 1880 o'clock
next Saturday afternoon in the first
division court room at the court house
and nominate a Republican candidate
for the office"
The law provides that the central
committee must have the name of
their candidate on the ticket at least
sixty days before election. Doubts on
Miss Corbet's part as TO whether she
would be permitted to hold the office
while engaged. in Red Cross work was
the primary cause for her resignation,
1t was explained. In case it was de-
cided at q later date that she could
not maintain her candidacy. the Re-
publican party would be left without
a nominee for the Office of county
superintendent. Her resignation clears
up all uncertainty in regard to this
matter.
Seaman May Succeed.
= The probability that F. A. Seaman
who was appointed as acting superin-
tendent in Miss Corbet's place for the
remainder Of her term, which expires
May l, 1919. will be nominated for
the Office, is borne out by the opinions
of several persons who have kept in
touch with the affair.
