comprehend the complete ignor.

August Rough Month.
August was a rough month In
Moscow. Everything was in a state
OF uncertainty. No communication
was to be had with the State depart.
ment except through neutrals, and
that was indispensable. The Reuter-

a time, and the correspondents OF
the Associated Press did not know
what day they might be put into
cells. The attitude of the govern.
ment, however, was much mora

when we finally boarded our
train to start on our journey out of
Russia, on August rs, our worries
were not greatly lessened, as the
government held us four days in
Petrograd and two days at the Fin

constant rioting and the papers were

Kansan Said To Have Defraud-
ed Motor Dealers in State.
Procured 100000 Under False
Pretenses, Conviction States.
TOOK JURY ONLY 20 MINUTES
Attorney General Brewster Had
Little Trouble To Prosecute.
Several Topeka Dealers Were
Victims of Mans Scheme.

Jesse Mathews, of Beloit, believed to
dealers in amounts totalling nearly
100000, has been convicted of OBJ
tanning property under false pretenses
and will go to the state prison to think
it over. 1t required a Phillips county
jury just twenty minutes to find
Mathews guilty Thursday night. The
case against Mathews was Investigated,
directed and prosecuted by S. NJ.
Brewster. attorney general.
Mathews's alleged practice of fraud
against automobile dealers was shown
to have covered a. wide territory and
to have enrolled many victims. The
man is now wanted in Missouri and
Colorado and his operations have at
tracted scores of dealers in this state.
1t was shown that the Beloit man
dealt only in wholesale lots. He made
contracts with various dealers for
large shipments of cars in exchange
for Colorado land, small cash pay
ment and a bond that looked perfectly
good but really proved worthless. Sew
eral dealers were victimized in sums
from $4,000 to $4,000, it was as
serted. Mathews's deal was one of the
most daring attempts at wholesale
fraud practiced in Kansas in recent
years. Several Topeka motor car deal
ers were called to Phillipsburg as
witnesses for the state in the case
against Mathews. ? After receiving
their instructions. the jurors spent just
twenty minutes in consideration of the
evidence. Mathews will serve an in
determinate sentence of one to five
years in the state penitentiary.

Peace League With Germany in
1t Worthless, Says T. r..
Neither Would League Protect
Pacifist Nation.
PREPAREDNESS ONLY SAFETY
Declares for Big Army in
France Next Year.
Must Exceed That of France or
Britain, Asserts Roosevelt.

New York, Sept. Cool. Theodore
Roosevelt, as the principal speaker at
the Lafayette day exercises here to-
day. vigorously denounced any idea
of a league of nations that includes
Germany, Austria Hungary and Tur-
key in it's membership.
He also branded as silly any aSser-
ton that a league of nations plan
would guarantee peace to those who
have not the will and power to pre-
pare for their own defense.
Support any plan which is honest
and reasonable, but support 1t as ar
addition to, and never substitute for
the policy of preparing our own
strength for our own defense.
ITO follow any other course would
turn this country into a China of the
occident.
'I believe preparation should be
started by the introduction in this
country of the principle of universe
training and universal service, as
practiced in Switzerland. There will
be no taint of Prussian militarism fr
such system. 1t will merely mean t.
fight for self defense and a great
democracy. in which law. order and
liberty are to prevail"

dor, attended the exercises and re-
