Alderman Beavin asked If the di-
rectors of the Annapolis Wa.er Com
pany have complied with the action OF
the City Council suggesting that the
funds of the company be divided equal
ly among the three banks of the city.
The mayor stated that a deposit had
been made in the Annapolis bank of

drawn from the other banks without

Big Building.
President McEntire Appeals to
c. of c. Today.

There is a new business of some sort
coming to Topeka, according to an an
nouncement made this noon by George
p McEntire, president of the Topeka
Chamber of Commerce. But the man
who is bringing the business here re-
fuses to divulge the nature of the bust
ness until such time as he can find
what he wants in the way of housing
facilities.
McEntire says that the man in ques-
ton, whose name McEntire refused to
diyulge, is seeking a building some
fifty feet wide and one hundred and
fifty feet deep, situated on a railroad
line the building to have heavy floor
capable of holding up heavy ma
chincry. The storage space must all
be on the ground floor.
These are the specifications McEn-
tire was given when the proposition
was put up to the Chamber of Com
merce. McEntire says that he has
tried hard to locate such building
thru the regular channels, and asserts
that he is making final appeal in
this way. McEntire asks that anyone
who knows of building answering
the description notify the Chamber of
Commerce to that effect.

Thousands of pamphlets were today

TO PAY
That Is the Object of the Ba-
q varians Just Now.
And They Would Control the
.x Germany 10 Come.

- New York, Dec. S.-An effort to
compel Prussia to bear the chief bur
den which the allied peace conditions
will force upon Germany, has been
begun by other German states under
the leadership of Bavaria. The move
ment within Germany to investigate
the causes of the war and apportion
the blame among German officials is
part of this scheme. The war leaders
OF Germany were nearly all Prussians
and it will not be difficult to prove
that since Prussia possessed the doml-
nant influence in the imperial gov
eminent of Germany. it was Prussia S
statesmen as well as her generals VINO
brought about the conflict.
i Bayarian leadership in this matter
is entirely selfish, because if Prussia
can be pulled down from her hign
seat, Bavaria will dominate the new
Germany. The fact that south Ger
man ambitions are thus made tosclash
with, the rivalry of northern Germany
Is a scheme in which the allies may
decide to encourage development of
anti-Prussian spirit among the rest Of
the German population.
Az The world must lace the fact that
Germany cannot be exterminated. 1t
is impossible to start drive from the
south and brush all Germans into the
Baltic. The new Germany that will
he created by the peace conference
Prussia retains the same sinister au-
.thoEity- in the new Germany as she
possessed in the old, the democratic
nations will not be in security. The
Prussian spirit today is broken. If it
SO remains the future will be filled
with conspiracies for the recovery of
Prussia's fall from prestige.
The savory of Prussia is not COM
mon to the less materialistic south
Germans. If Bavaria were to become
leader of a new Germany the Teutonic
danger to the world would be reduced
to it's lowest mark. 1t may well hap
pen, therefore, that the allies will take
serious note of .Bavarias activity in
trying osmake Prussia pay for the
crimes Germany has committed
against the world. If that be done,
Prussia will be made abhorrent to the
rest of Germany and will become
largely impotent for further evil. A
new Germany may then have some
hope of being received back into the
ranks of civilization.

men and newspapers even as late as
the end of October were still insist-
ing that Germany would continue the
war rather than accept a humiliatin8
peace. Copies Of German newspapers
received here show that even meme
bers of the Socialist party viewed the
sacrifice of national interest as im1
possible. War Minister Scheuck stated
in the reichstag on October "a that
the German army had not been beaten
and that the Homeland" had noe
collapsed. Forces which would per,
nit successful resistance were to DO

that the most urgent need of the hour

SCHOOL BOARD ACTION
Favor Smith Bnl-Movies for Stu

Favor Smith Bnl-Moyics for Stu
deEts-Night Classcs.
TIL Topeka school board has wired
the United States senators from Kan
sas, and Dan Anthony. representative.
that 1t favors the bill introduced in the
senate by Smith of Georgia for the
creation of a national secretaryship of
education, the department to rank
with other important departments of
government.
The bill was discussed at a meeting
of the school board Monday night.
and figures were presented by A. ].
Stout, superintendent. to show the
share Kansas would receive for educa-
tional work in the appropriation which
the bill carries. Special stress is laid
by Mr.. Stout on the necessity for phys
ical education, in view of the large
number of men rejected for military
service in the recent draft. Mr.. Stout
believes that the disabilities which
barred many from service could have
been removed at an early age If the
proper education had been given in
schools a few years ago. A report
fro1-i the public school nurse showed
that thirty cases of adenoids were
found among the school children in
one month; thirty cases of diseased
tonsils, twenty-seven cases OF directive
vision, and many other disabilities
were discovered and reported, and
many of them are being remedied.
Moving Picture Machine.
The board has authorized Superin-
tendent Stout to look about for pOrta-
BILE moving picture machine for the
showing of educational films in the
schools. Kansas university and the
State Normal school have films which
the Topeka schools may use without
cost, if machine can be procured
which can be moved from school to
school and be easily set up.
The board is considering also the
establishment of some sort of night
school for adults and foreigners. Fig
ures read by Superintendent Stout
showed that in 1910, &c per cent OF
the population was iIliterate, large
proportion of the number of illiterates
being negroes and foreign born per-
sons. Superintendent Stout and the
