FAVOR WAR CHEST IDEA
Rotary Clubs Believe 1t Best Plan To
Meet Needs.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 26.-After
three hours of explanation and dis
cussion at the Grand Avenue temple.
the section of the Rotary convention
on war chests" adopted a resolution
submitted by the Second Rotary dis
trict, indorsing the war chest" idea
in local communities and advising
clubs to present the idea in their va
rious localities.
The plan of raising a fund in a big
campaign once a year, sufficient to
take care of all of the appeals for
war relief during that time, differs lit
tie in the various places, according to
the statements made. Large concerns
and men of wealth are assessed on
their income. Salaried men are as
sessed a certain percentage of their
salaries; mechanics and laboring men,
one days Fay a month. In most in
stances subscribers agree that a GER
tain amount for the war chest shall
be deducted from their weekly or
monthly wage by their employers.
In every city where the plan has
been success it was reported that
the fund, which is calculated from a
budget submitted by the various war
relief organizations. has been oversub-
scribed and the war chests have
funds for emergencies.

LAST DAY TO FILE
Candidates for State Office Make
Known Their Ambitions Today.

An eleventh hour rush was due to-
day at the office of the secretary of
state. Today Is the last day of grace
for candidates to file the papers neces-
sary to get their names on the state
ticket at the primary election next
August. Up to yesterday only sixty-two
candidates had filed and both the
Democrat and Socialist tickets had
failed to put in an appearance.
Among tn long list of prospectives
who were due to get in line for the fly
ing finish in filing election petitions
were Governor Arthur Capper, candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for United States senator and Walter
Roscoe Stubs of Lawrence. Several
Socialists have filed for congressional
nominations, but no state ticket had
put in an appearance up to yesterday.
1t is known that a number of the DEM
ocrat candidates entrusted the filing
of their petitions to the state chair
man, Hubert Lardner of Fort Scott.
So Mr.. Lardner's try with a large bum
die of political wares was expected.
All who get their names on the pri-
mary tickets must have filed before
the secretary of states office closes
this evening.

$4,000 FIGHTING MEN
Number of American Troops in
France Aside From Auxiliary Forces.

Washington, June 26.-Secretary
Baker estimates that between SIS and
70 per cent of the men already ship
ped to France are combatant troops.
The first division has now been ex-
banded to fighting force of $50, 900
men, backed by an organization of the
supply and transport lines that it
takes 100000 men to make effective.
General Pershing now has under his
command the substance of the first
field army, comprised of eighteen in
fantry divisions, with all necessary
auxiliary troops. The whole force has
been in training, officers and men, and
is proba bly, not yet a military unit bue
the day probably is not far distant
when it will be possible for General
Pershing to assemble his first army as
a veteran fighting force. American
troops are now holding sectors of
varying lengths in at least six places
on the battle line. To meet the emer-
gency presented by the German drive,
however, they have been drawn away
from the region formally assigned to
the United States and are face to face
with the enemy on the Marine, in Pic
ardy and in Flanders. The real Amer
lean sectors, however, lie on the right
flank of the great battle front. From
within sight of the Swiss border. where
they stand on German soil, almost to
the shadows of the battered fortress
of Verdun. American troops are in the
trenches.
The location of the strictly Ameri-
can sectors makes it appear that the
whole project rests on the assignment
to the United States Of the task of
holding the right flank, as British
armies hold the left, leading to the
channel ports. leaving France free to
concentrate all her armies in the sec
tor along the road to Paris.

SHOP MEN TO HELP
Santa Fee Employees Will Aid Thrift
Stamps Campaign.

A hearty welcome greeted the six
men who invaded the various depart
ments of the Santa Fe shops Tuesday
and delivered lectures concerning the
purpose of thrift stamps to the en-
p1oyes. Altho practically every en-
ploye in the shops has purchased lib
erty bonds and donated to the Red
Cross, the men declared they would
respond to this latest call of their
government to the best of their ability.
An invitation was extended the men
to visit their schoo1house national war
savings day and subscribe for as many
thrift stamps as they could purchase
the rest of the year. -
The men who spoke were: DIR. E

on the varied races and walks of life
of which American citizenship is made
up. Barriers between them had been
leveled by the war, he said, and people
have been brought into close touch
with each other. This close relation
ship-a partnership of hundred mill
lion people-must be kept up if the
democracy is to continue, he said.
Mr.. Gross spoke at some length on
the benefits of universal training. 1t
will be a great physical help to young
American manhood. 1t will teach
them to obey orders, something that
has been sadly neglected in the Ameri-
can home. 1t will teach them to work
together in sympathetic cooperation
and forget their castles and prejudices
for a common cause.

TO ITALY IN JULY
Announcement Is Made That q. s
Troops VIII Arrive by That Time.

Rome, June 26.-American troops
will be in Italy probably early in July,
according to notifications given to
the italian authorities by State Sena-
tor Gothic, of New York, who is here
on an official mission. This announce
ment of direct participation of Amer
lean units with the forces now fight
ing in italy has produced an encour-
aging effect.
VIII Be Sent for Moral Effect.
Washington, June 26.-Announce-
ment that American troops were to be
sent to Italy was made recently by
Secretary Baker but the plans re-
garding the expedition have not been
made public. So far as is known it
has not been determined whether
force would be sent direct from the
United States or from the expedition
airy forces in France.
The expedition would be more TO
effect unity in arms on all fronts than
to reinforce the italians and a small
force probably will be sent.

FOR UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Rotarian Speaker Points Out Value of
Military Life in America.

Kansas City. Mo, June 26.-'The
only thing that will unity our people
and transmute our diverse citizenship
from a conglomerate of many ma
tionalities into patriotic Americans is
universal obligatory military training"
That significant statement was
made here at a special assembly of
Rotarians in the Hotel Baltimore by
Howard H. Gross of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Universal Military Train
ing association, in opening a discus
sion on that subject.
Special stress was laid by Mr.. Gross
