SUFFS AND DRYS
Their "PIankS" To Feature
Platform of New Party.
Lady Politician Rants About
Red Cross Tobacco.

Chicago, March Nation wide
prohibition and women's suffrage will
be the leading planks in the platform
for the new National party which re-
sumad sessions of its first national
convention here today, augmented by
more than 100 delegates who bolted
the Prohibition party late yesterday
when that party deadlocked over a
proposed merger.
The adoption of a platform was
expected some time today. Members
of the national committee of the Pro-
hibition party remained over today
to meet with representatives of the
new organization to arrange for COM
piet, cooperation between the two
as a result of a compromise resolu-
ton passed by the older body late
last night. Many Prohibitionists who
fought the merger on the floor of
their convention were in attendance
at the National party session today.
Progressive party leaders turnout the
country are also rallying under the
new STANDARD, according to Chairman
David Coates, of Colorado. of the Ma
tioHal party, and merger of the
more important units of this political
body IS looked forward to.
Woman Assails Red Cross.
The American Red Cross and the
national administration were roundly
scored from the floor of the conven-
ton by Mrs. Frances Beauchamp of
Lexington, KY, in an address which
received prolonged applause. Mrs.
Beauchamp attacked the Red Cross
for it's policy of encouraging the send
ing of tobacco to soldiers and alleged
that it is unwittingly the tool of the
American Tobacco company. She
asked the convention to appeal to the
administration to prohibit this policy,
which. she commended. is directly in
terfering with the efficiency of Amer
icas fighting men. She said that I'M
der the present policy of the Red
Cross persons are not allowed to con-
tribute packages for transmission over
seas unless the packages contain CT
garetS or tobacco.

Santa Fe Offers Topekans Use of

The Santa Fe is offering the use of
ninety vacant lots near Ripley park
for gardening. The lots may be used
by persons living in the vicinity of the
park, and all that is required by the
company is that the weeds be kept
cut; no rental charges are made. Ar
rangements for taking the land for
gardening purposes may be made thru
the office of George Denton, in Com
missioner w. l.. Porter's department
at the city hall.
Denton says that nearly all of the
vacant lots that are being offered for
rent for gardening have been taken
and that a good deal of vacant land
down by the river is to be worked this
year that heretofore has lain idle.

Famous Immigrant Depot to Become

Washington, March 7.-Immigrant
quarters at Ellis island were today
converted to the use of wounded SOL
oilers and sailors following an agree
ment between the navy, war and labor
departments.
This agreement had been pending
for several months. The delay was
caused by the unwillingnesS of the de-
spartment of labor to turn over its
property when there was doubt as to
the responsibility for damages under
a joint occupancy.
Accommodation for several thou

The immigration service of the la
Dor department has retained part OF

TAKE NO CHANCES
Thompson Tells G.. of c. Mem
bers of German Menace Here.
He ReiterateS That All Should
Be Locked Up.
EXPLAINS ITALIAN DEFEAT
Says Worse Catastrophe May
Befall Americans.
kaiser's Hirelings Can Cause
Us Much Home Trouble.

Capt Donald c. Thompson, ia
nous Topeka war photographer,
hurled another verbal bomb at the
heads of the Ubiquitous German
propa gandist in talk before the
Chamber of Commerce this noon.
Thompson reiterated his plan for
making all Germans wear red arm
bands as the distinguishing mark of
their nationality, and then went into
details on the situation in Russia and
the everts leading up to the down
fall of the royal family and the gov
eminent of Kerensky.
The Russian people are, 80 per
cent CT them, unable to read or write.
When the revolution of the Bolshe-
wiki leaders prevailed in Petrograd
and liberty was proclaimed, the
ignorant masses of the Russian peo-
pie Immediately construed the term
liberty to mean no more work, free
land, free transportation, and like
d bsurdities.
Fundamentally declared Thomp-
son, the Russian is unable to under
stand what the term liberty really
means; he interpretS it to mean Iii
cense.' In all the parts of Russia
where l have been since the revolu-
ton was proclaimed l have seen only
one old man putting in any real work
and he was unable to give any rea-
son for working other that he did
Explains Italian Defeat.
Thompson painted the picture of
German intrigue in Russia in such
vivid terms that those who heard him
nave now trurer understanding of just
why the Germans were able to pene-
trate the Italian line. were able to die
tate the terms of Russian peace, over
ran Rumania and Serbia and today
are trying to undermine the deter
mination of America. Every victory
of the Germans in this war" asserted
thompson. has been a victory won by
German pfopagandists working be-
hind the allied lines and is not a
victory for the German arms.
germany today is working in
America the same as she did Rus
sia, declared Thompson. she is
trying by every means, in her power
to discourage America in her war pre-
parations. She cannot succeed in this
to the extent that she did in Russia
or the other countries now under her
domination-but she can make things
exceedingly uncomfortable for us over
here unless steps are taken forthwith
to mark the German born citizen so
that every man and woman in the
United States will be able to see and
understand the brand of that race
Is Lock Them Up Best Plan.
II favor locking all of them up as
the best means TO combating the evil.
But failing in this 1 favor the estab-
llshment OF a system of arm bands

will all be Immediately under the eyes
of all the people all of the time. To
make the order stick a prison SEN
tence of 20 years attached to failure
of a German born male to wear his
arm band would be very effective. In
closing I say, put all of 'em in Jail for
the duration of the war-and if any
one is hurt in the process apologize
