KANSAS BANKERS FOR 365-DAY
ROADS

Resolutions Endorsing Plan of Doing
Preliminary Work Now Passed
at Annual Convention Last
Week
The Kansas Bankers Association,
at their annual convention at Hutch
inson May 21-22 passed the follow
ing resolution:
''Resolved, That we endorse the
state wide campaign of education
looking to the building of 365-day
roads on all of the Federal aid and
main market highways in Kansas. We
realize that war conditions will hinder
the construction of these roads but
we approve the program of doing the
preliminary work at this time so that
actual construction may begin with
out needless delay as soon as war con-
ditions will permit or justify"
This is a sensible and patriotic
stand to take on this big campaign
in Kansas that Will some day mean
the starting of a road building pro-
gram that will lead to the construc-
ton of many thousand miles of hard
roads. While Kansas leads all but four
states in the matter of value of farm
products she stands almost at the foot
of the list in the matter of 365-day
RAIDS.
AS a rule it requires from ten
to eighteen months to do the prelim-
mary work of securing petitions,
checking and approving same, sur
veying, making estimates and state
and Federal inspection and building
grades, culverts and bridges before
the hard surface can be constructed.
With so much time required to get
ready" every friend of good roads be-

It has been a common practice to
have large quantities of Kansas eggs
go to the dumps each year, because
they have incubated too much to be
used for human food. Some estimate
this loss as high as $1,500,000.
It is said that food will win the
war. If these eggs are allowed to
spoil, it will be taking food from oul
people and helping the enemy. TIC
help prevent this, the State of Kan
sas is organized to encourage the
production of infertile eggs. The
week of June 3rd 9Th is the week

raiser in every community OF the

RH|NELAND SEEKS |TS INDEPENDENCE

BERLIN, Nov. 23-(Via Copenhagen By the Associated Press)-The move ment to withdraw from Germany and create a separate republic is gaining ground rapidly in the Rhineland, ac- cording to reports from Cologne to the Socialist Vorwaerts. The movement find strong support on the part of the clericals, as a result of the Prussian governments announcement of it's in tention to disestablish the church.
 Herr Theodore Wolff declares in the Tageblatt that all south Germany is dissatisfied with conditions in Berlin, and is beginning to consider the ques- tion of leaving the captal to it's fate. He points out that the reported Polish aggression against the eastern borders of Germany may have fatal conse- quences in regard to the provisioning of Berlin. Count Reventlow in the Tages Zeitung takes the same stand point, declaring that only a speedy preliminary peace can prevent ca tastropke.

 According to the official account Of the affair given out by Major J. Gomez Tagle, in command of the garrison here, Holguin's band, which consisted of so men, was driven off after an en- gagement lasting less than an hour Drawing off to the north the rebets placed explosives on the track and wrecked the freight train, several cars of which were burned. The south bound passenger following close behind the freight. was turned in time and re- turned to JuareZ.
 Major Taele said he had received no report on the casualties, but it was uu- officially reported that several were killed on both sides. The Villa ahu- mada garrison consisted of 100 federal soldiers.
 Railroad and telegraph communica- ton between Juarez and Chihuahua is interrupted for the first time in several months, and no report has been re- ceived as. to the whereabouts of the north bound passenger train due here at o'clock this evening This train, according to Major Tage, carried an escort of troops sufficient to protect It in event of attack by the rebels He expressed the opinion, however, that it had been turned back to Chihuahua. <, regiment of infantry arrived in Juarez from the south early today to relieve the garrison.

DENVER, Nov. 24.-H. J. Kracko- wiZer, who until October conducted the New Mexico Engineering company and was engaged in installing electrical ap- plianees and special irrigation equip ment in the district along the Colorado New Mexico border. is in the Denver jail, awaiting the signing of extradition papers to be returned to Santa Fe.

TELLS HOW KAISER
 WILHELM HELD 0UT

AMSTERDAM. Nov. 24.-"How Will helm Held Out is the title of an article in the Frankfort Volks Steimme by Wilhelm Carle, a socialist, who discov- cred the hoards of provisions which the former emperor had in his Berlin palace.
 ''The quantity" the writer says" ex- ceded all expectations. In large white tiled rooms was everything, literally verything, one can imagine in food stuffs. It is inconceivable that after four years of war such huge quantities could be hoarded. There was meat and game in cold storage, salted pro- visions in large cases. white meal in sacks piled to the roof, thousands of eggs, gigantic boxes filled with tea, coffee, chocolate, lard, jelly and jams hundreds of sugar loaves and endless stacks of peas, beans, dried fruits and biscuits. Their value amounted to several houndred thousand marks
 These hoarded foodstuffs cannot be better used than to be preserved as a lasting memorial to our posterity, which should see how, while millions in Germany starved, those eIecteS l== 1tha- -Graco pf God Md pnxf

OFFICIAL DANCES
 POPULAR IN LONDON
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press)-Danc- ing, virtually interdicted by the war, has been resumed in a limited way. Two hundred eager applicants for tickets to the first dance were unable to obtain admission.
 These "rationed" inter allied dances. designed especially for the edification and delight of young officers on leave in London, are smiled upon by the mili- tary authorities, a number of whom were present at the first. There were hundred hostesses, many prominent Tn English society, including Lady Ran dolph Churchill.
 American army and navy officers al- most outnumbered British and French One-stepS and two- steps, which some Londoners refer to as American stut- ter dances, alternated with the more sedate waltzes. Two women police were there as chaperones, but they had little to do.
 Lady Randolph Churchill told a re- porter that introductions, made by the official hostesses. were to be a feature Of the dances. Single tickets are not to be sold to women or girls.
 Can 1t be- one commenter asked that this sudden resuscitation of dane ing under the patronage of the authori- ties is foretaste of the reaction that will follow the strain and anxiety of the war and fill the land with laugh ,ter?-
