HE HATES THE HUNS
P. W. Goebel, w. S. s. Chairman,
Born in Germany, Tells OF Nation.

IT hate the German government with
a consuming hatred because she has
made the people of my blood and kim
dred the outcasts of the world, the
Ishmaelit of civilization. This trans
formation of people into a race of
demons whose very name is anathema
among the generous minded people of
the world is the result of system of
education designed to further the sell
fish aims of an autocrat."

strong for denunciation, Peter w. Goe-

"As a lad of IA years." said Mr.,
Goebel, Il lived in a German garrison
city. There I have seen little insig-

in the ranks; have seen them spit in
their faces; I have heard them call
these soldiers the most vile epithets
that ever fouled human lips, and these
men were forced by the iron discipline
or Prussia to stand and endure these
insults. That is why am enlisted in
this war with every energy I possess,
with every dollar I own, to the end
that the world and my kindred may be

ROAD BOOSTERS HERE
Many Kansans Coming in Support Of

The Topeka Chamber of Commerce
is arranging to entertain a delegation
of $50 or more next Tuesday noon
from Yates Center, Burlington, Lyn-
don and the farmers along the pro-
posed Capital route which may pass
thru those towns. The visitors will
come in automobiles and will be en-
tertained at lunch and many other
forms of amusement provided. Rep
resentatives from Oklahoma and other
towns in Kansas will be in the party.
The rivalry for the Capital route be-
tween Burlington. Yates Center and
Fredonia on the one line and Lc Roy,
lola, Chanute and Cherryvale on the
other is very strong. Already cam
paigns are being started to hard sur
face both routes it being understood
that the guaranteeing of 365-day

final selection of the official route.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength. Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara-
lions and treatments which are continu-
ally being advertised for the purpose of
making thin people fleshy, developing
arms neck and bust, and replacing ugly
hoIIows and angles by the soft curved lines
of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands of ulen and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
TO starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate Known among
druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is in
expensive and is sold by most all drug
gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body, cells
with the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, bitro-phosphate quickly produces
a welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the Increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
it a general Improvement In the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv-

LABOR TO TAKE A HAND
Unions in Topeka to Stand Behind
Friends in Election.

That the elections this fall will take
on a more interesting aspect than
usual is indicated by the intention OF
in the affair, with a view of electiEG
only men friendly to labor interests.
At a meeting of about fifty of the
labor leaders of the city wednesday
night, following the regular meeting
of the Topeka Industrial council, a
committee was appointed to arrange
for a mass meeting of all union men
and their wives in Topeka, at which
the record of every candidate in the
field, for every kind of office, will be
discussed.
That all party lines will be abolish
ed with the unions was indicated by
the fact that the labor leaders at the
meeting Wednesday night pledged
themselves to support only men who
pledged their willingness to endorse
all measures desired by the unions in
Topeka. 1t was said that orga niZed
labor controls about 1900 votes in
Topeka, including all union men and
their wives.
1t was also suggested at the meet
ing of the Topeka Industrial council
that only goods bearing the union
label, showing that union labor was
employed in tn ir manufacture, be
purchased, and these only from mer-
chants known 20 be friendly to or
ganized labor. All members were
urged to attend the war savings

various school districts Friday night

FOR Intervention
Kerensky Believes Allies Should
Join in Russian Expedition.
Thinks Such Action Would
Unite People Against Reds.

London, June 27.-The dramatic
and unexpected appearance of Alex
ander Kerensky at the Labor party
conference yesterday raised many
questions concerning his future ac-
lions and his connection with the al
lied policy toward Russia. which may
be explained in his speech before the
conference today.

The Mail says the government did
not invite Kerensky to England, but
that he asked the right of asylum as
a private citizen.
However," continues the Mail, cit
is wondered whether Kerensky
brought an invitation for allied in

socialists
Kerensky for Intervention.
1t is reliably reported that Keren-
sky favors Intervention by all the al
lies-even tho one country furnishes
most of the troops-under the slogan,
Fighting Germany" while not inter
fering with Russia,,s internal affairs.
Would Unite Factions.
Kerensky is said to believe that al
lied Intervention will unite the pres
ent warning factions opposed to the
Bolsheviki and is reported to have
intimated that Russian military as
sistance is possible, if it is used only
in a defensive way.

Within few -eeks Rasmussen
jumped into notice on a dark night
when he personally led a raiding
handful of American Canadians
e ainst a German advanced post His
party was discovered by the boche
sentries in the front line but they
scurried back under a sprinkling of
machine gun bullets, bringing the out
post garrison as souvenirs. When they
counted noses one American was dis
covered to be missing. Refusing vol

thru the wire alone and found him
wounded.
Just as &c picked up the fallen lad

his saellhole. In a flash Rass seized
it ana threw it back, dropping flat in
the same instant. to escape some OF
the fragments If it should go off too
close by. The grenade blew up in
midair, the explosion bursting one of
his eardrums and a fragment wound
ing him in the arm. Then he picked
up the wounded boy again and car
ried him back to the Canadian lines.
The youngster died just as the willing
hands of his comrades reached out to
take him from the major.

German Offensive on West
Front Welcome to Allies.

Washington, June 26.-Confidential
reports received at the state depart
ment show the German kaiser already
has taken steps to prevent the COL
lapse of his armies such as resulted in
the Austrian debacle on the Italian
front.
The German people are being told
not to expect the campaign plans of
1918 to end the war. Vague promises
of victory in 1919 are being held out
by the inspired press.

tria as the chief ally is shown to be

Sees Writing ON Wall.
The speech made by Foreign Min
lister DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann be-
fore the reichstag on Monday is ac-
copied as indication that Germany
sees the handwriting on the wall.
President Wilson, in the address an
nounced for July 4 at Mount Vernon,
is expected to make known that all
such false pretensions will receive a
negative response so long as the policy
of aggression in the east is main
tanned.
Meantime, while the Italians are
following up their splendid victories
along the Piave, there is talk of new
offensives being started on the west
ern front. Military men assert that
Germany must strike again within a
week or ten days if for no other rea-
son than to divert the attention OF
their war weary soldiers from the dis
aster which has befallen their Aus

PUT MONEY IN BONDS
British Chancellor Urges People to
Buy Government Securities.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
London, May 29.-Urging the peo-
pie of Great Britain to economic and
invest all their surplus earnings in
war bonds, Andrew Bonar Law, Brit
ish chancellor, has given advice that
may be needed in every allied nation.
He said in an interview:
Must Live More Simply.
Lives must be lived more simply.
Personal, household and business
expenses must be reduced to the mimi
mum.
1.-The surplus of weekly or monthly
earnings over necessary expenditure
must be invested straightway in ma
tional war bonds or war savings GER
tificates.
Current balances at the bank
should be kept as small as possible
and the money invested in national
war bonds.
Private individuals with money on
deposit in banks should draw as much
as they can and invest in national war
bonds.
Business people and firms with
money on deposit should withdraw
all not absolutely needed for their
business operations and invest 1t all
in national war bonds.
Interest Back Into War Bonds.
Il am, confidently looking forward
TO the Te1nVeStmenC IN war DOnQS OF a
very large part of the f50,000,000 in
dividends which fall due on Saturday."
added the chancellor.
The chancellor does not contem-
plate another long-dated loan and is
convinced that the method of con-
tinuous weekly borrowing is best from
every point Of view.
Bank Deposits Increase.
Outlining an agreement with the
nv 49,
will reduce their high deposit rates
and urge customers to place their sur
plus funds in var bonds, Mr.. Bonar
Law said, THE importance of this
cannot be exaggerated. The amount of
deposits in the banks is steadily in
creasing. 1t is from the deposits that
the subscriptions to the war bonds
ought to come.
Nobody's Money Can Be Neutral.
ITO lend ones money to the coun-
try by buying war bonds is national
war service second only in importance
to actual participation in the armed
conflict. Nobody's money can be
neutral.
and patriotism of the nation will
make it unnecessary to ration money.
IF every investor, big and small,
turnout the country would make it Il
regular habit to set aside weekly "a
definite portion of their resources,
for immediate investment in war
bonds. the f25,000,000 week I am
asking would easily be forthcoming"
