WILL WORK TOGETHER
Men and Women of National C. of d.
Inaugurate New Plan.

Washington, D. c., Oct 5.-The new
field division of the council of national
defense began its duties this week.
This section as created by the coun
Gil of national defense is to organize
and arouse the opinion and the ener-
gies of the country upon war work.
1t is to move thru the state councils
and subsidiary organizations down to
the heart of the nation, its core, the
small community. 1t is an amalgama-
ton of those organizations which have
hitherto made this effort-the state
section of the council and the woman's
committee-and all the far-reaching
agencies of both are incorporated as a
part of its machinery. 1t is intended
to be the connecting line between the
national council and the citizen.
Since the war began this connection
has been maintained thru the two or
CARNATIONS which are now merged;
but it has become more manifest with
each passing month that there was no
sense in supporting two distinctive
agencies, one of men and one of
women; and this was recognized earl
lest by the state councils which took
the women of the country into their
directorate and gave them full part
in their work. In all states this is not
true, and in one or two it is perhaps
legally impossible at present, but it is
hoped and expected that this policy>of
joint action shall be, wherever pos
sible, adopted. The part which women
are playing in this war and the in
creasing part which they are taking
in making it possible to maintain it
make this consolidation no more than
the recognition of a facial men and
women are making. and are to make,
common sacrifice and effort
Under the new plan of organization,
DIR. Anna Howard Shaw becomes vice
chairman, Grosvanor B. GARRISON,
secretary of the council of national de-
Tense, and the advisory committee, be-
comes director of the new field divi-
sion, with Miss Hannah J. Patterson,
present director Of the woman's COM
mittee, associate director.

CAN'T RUN CAPACITY
Available Wheat for Milling 100000
Bushels Short Now.


The available supply of wheat for
milling purposes already is more than
100000 bushels less than the ca
pacity demand of the Kansas flour
mills according to figures on the sit
uation compiled by j. 8. Mohler, sec
rotary of the state board of agricul-
ture. These figures have been for
warded to the United States food adj
minfstration as an argument for the
need of some method of retaining
within the state wheat for milling pur-
poses. The exodus of wheat from the
state continued at a rapid rate until
the recent railroad embargo wasin-
Stituted by the railroad administration
at Kansas City. There is good reason
to believe. says Secretary Mohler. that
with the raising of the embargo, the
steady stream of wheat from the state
will be resumed.
The total capacity of Kansas flour
mills is 6Q,000,00o bushels of wheat a
year, according to information which
Secretary Mohler considers authentic.
At present there Is available for mill
ing purposes in the state, 100000
bushels This figure includes all wheat
in mill and dealers elevators and still
on the farms, with the exception of
100000 ~nesded for the planting
now under way. The figure-44, 000,-
0N-represents 100000 bushels
less than the total capacity of the
mills but considerable wheat already
has been ground-probably ten mil
lion bushels, leaving the present defi-
cit more than 100000.
Secretary Mohler estimates that at
present 100000 bushels of the
wheat crop still is in the hands of the
farmer; 100000 bushels in mills and
and elevators-a total of 100000
bushels. But 100000 of this is for

COM MANDED TO HALT
Speeders at Lawrence Open Fire and
Drive Thru Cemetery To Escape.

Drive Thru Cemetery To Escape.
Lawrence, Kan, Oct. Sin a pistol
battle between Lawrence policemen
and fourS4nknown men in an automo-
mile at $50 o'clock Friday afternoon,
one of the strangers was wounded, but
the party succeeded in escaping to-
ward Kansas City. Why the men
started trouble with the police is un-
known, and telephone calls TO sur
rounding towns fail to locate any bank
robbery or other crime in which the
men might have taken part.
While policemen were out in search
of speeders, they noticed the large
Buick car, speeding on Thirteenth
street. The officers pursued. and as
they overlook the car. one of the men
in the rear seat stood up, and point
ing a revolver at the policemen, Or
dered them to throw up their hands.
The officers began to draw their
weapons and three other men in the
strange car produced pistols and the
firing began. A number of shots were
exchanged between the moving auto
mobiles before one of the men, who
was standing up and firing back at the
police fell back out of sight in the
tonneau. yelling that he was shot. The
driver of the pursued car, evidently
unacquainted with the locality drove
at full speed into a cemetery, mistak-
ing the driveway for a road. There is
but one gate TO the cemetery, and the
men were trapped, but drove their car
thru the cemetery fence and another
one at full tilt. reaching a road on the
other side and escaping toward Kan

BATTERY AS RECORD
Topeka Gunncrs Fired First Shot of
Brigade at Hun.

Corp. Edward A Kiene, the son of
Guy Kiene, postmaster at Valencia.
and nephew of L. L. Kiene of Topeka
is one OF the men with Topeka's own
Battery A in France. In a letter just
received from him he states that the
battery is vsithin fifty miles of the
Rhine. A paragraph from his letter
states:
Our battery has made a mighty
good record for itself already by get
ting to fire the first shot in the bril-
saee at the enemy and by getting
eight direct hits in the German
trenches out of ten shots. I think that
in a month or SO we will get to move
up in a more active sector"
The first shot referred to in the
letter was made by a Topeka man,
Tom Perry.
Kiene describes some air battles
which he has witnessed. and he en-
phatically denies all the rumors that
have been afloat and which have
reached the battery, that the unit had
met with bad fortune. He writes that
their boat was not torpedoed, and that
the battery was not cut to pieces in an
engagement with the enemy, as ru-
NOR stated it was.

COOPERATIVE BUYING.
French Manufacturers Adopt That
Method as a War Measure.

Washington. Oct. 5.-What amounts
T. cooperative, syndieated buying in
foreign markets has been adopted as
q war measure by French manufac-
turers who get raw materials abroad,
Commercial Attache Pierce Williams,
at Paris, points out that French in
dustries, therefore, are rapidly being
centralized in syndicates acting on be-
half of the French government.
These importing syndicates are
known as consortiums. Their capital
stock is fixed by the government and
each manufacturer requiring the raw
materials is permitted to take a GER
tain amount based on his pre-war i'm
ports.
The consortium is permitted to dis
tribute the material to the members.
at a price determined by the Ministry
of Commerce. It is expected that
wasteful competition will be prevented
in markets which also must supply
Frances associates in the war, and
that prof1teering by mushroom firms
will be eliminated.

in connection with the centennial cell
ebration of the Inauguration of ILL

that Senator Douglas, altho an in

siderations when his country was in
peril.
When a people are at war. parti-
sanship if it be based upon love of
country becomes patriotism" Mr. DAN
iels said. MIR. Douglas had been a
partisan of partisans. In the moment
of the peril of the perpetuity of the
union Mr.. Douglas forgot his defeat,
forgot political considerations, forgot
any resentment or disappointment
forgot everything but the supreme
fact that the united republic he loved
was threatened with separation and all
which that involved to American
greatness. In that hour he made full
dedication of himself and his powers,
and rallied the forces of defense of a
united republic. And he fell as truly
in his country's cause appealing and
counselling for united support of Mr..
Lincoln, as the men who gave their
lives on the field Of battle under the
leadership of Grant and Logan.

The BOche Wants To Save

With the American Armies in
France, Oct. 5.-Conservation is the
word one hears coming over the Ger.
man lines, now. Always economical,
the Germans are saving now more
than ever before in manpower. Since
the day the Germans started back
ward from the Marine, they have been
conserving their numbers as never be-
fore and they have done it in a most
admirable manner. But it has been
at the expense of positions.
The German losses in men have not
been so great as might have been ex-
pected. In the fighting north OF the,
Marine the retreat was skilfully'
planned and carried out in a manner
that excited admiration. Machine guns
were substituted for men at almost
every point and the way in which the
German army is built around that par
ticular bit of ordnance has been very
thoroly demonstrated.
Every backward step of the enemy
was guarded by the automatic guns.
Get back the artillery and the bulk of
the infantry, was the order repeated

and Americans prodded them. In al

MAKE old PLEA
Missouri Pacific Attorneys Fol-
low Bale Waggener Tactics.
Brewster Answers Arguments
in Bone Dry Case.

Ever since the days when the late
lamented Bale Wagsener was the
power behind the lawsuits of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad. that road has
pleaded that Kansas was violating the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, whenever Kansas tried to
force the railroad to do something
that didn't please the official fancy.
When the Kansas legislature passed
laws the Missouri Pacific didn't want
to obey 1t pleaded that Kansas was
stepping on the fourteenth amendment
which prohibits the taking of life, lib
erty and property without due process
of law. What is more, the Missouri
Pacific lawyers, in the days gone by
were able to make the pleading stick.
Recently the Missouri Pacific was
caught with some thirty shipments of
liquor into Kansas in violation of the
ebb-Kenyon law aud the Kansas
bone dry law. The Missouri Pacific
tons and the case is now in the su-
preme court OF the United States.
Mako Old Plea Again.
In this lawsuit the Missouri Pacific
is pleading that the state is trying to
take it's money without due process of
law and in violation of the rights
guaranteed by the fourteenth amend
ment. Then the lawyers for the rail-
road point out that the Webb-Kenyon
law was not legally passed anyway be-
cause 1t did not have a two-thirds ma
jority of the members of congress, hut
only a two-thirds majority of the
members present.
S. NJ. Brewster, attorney general
has just completed his brief in tho
ease and he points out that If the
Webb Kenyon law Is worthless so is
the Fourteenth amendment.
Arguments in Brief.
The brief says:
THE seth congress submitted to the
various states for their ratification the
Fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition, and this was submitted by a
vote in<the senate of 33 for. IL against
and absent. At that time there were
SO states in the Union and 1t took 4S
to constitute a two-thirds majority. If
the contention of the plaintiff in err
ror in this case is correct, then the
Fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition was improperly submitted to
the states and must fall.
often, when seeking to avoid the
regulation imposed by state acts. the
plaintiff in error in this case has hur-
riediy retreated behind the bulwark
of the Fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution and from there defied
the authorities of the state. We are
4 little surprised that when called
upon to choose between maintaining
unimpaired this bulwark of liberty and
the right to ship intoxicating liquors
into Kansas 1t has unhesitatingly
chosen the latter"
