NO HONOR TO HUN
Capper Wires Wilson To Insist
Upon Complete Surrender.
He Gives Kansas Sentiment as
He Interprets 1t.

Arthur Capper, governor of Kansas,
has sent a telegram to the president
conveying to him the express will of
that only the abdication of the Ger
man kaiser or the surrender of his
armies could be the first preliminary
for peace. The governor received a
large number of telephone calls and
kilograms from all parts of the state,
expressing the view that the German
people must know that their militarist
leaders had been given a good licking
by the allies The governors message
read:
with unconditional surrender in
our grasp thru the rout of the Ger
man army and the detection of Bull
garia, Austria and Turkey, the senti-
ment which is expressed in Kansas is
that the abdication of the kaiser or
the complete surrender of the German
army are Indispensable preliminaries
to any negotiations.
Reply Too Indefinite.
with high faith in your judgment
and fuller knowledge, Kansas consid-
ers the German reply too indefinite on
vital points to be acceptable under
your often declared resolve not to deal
in the settlement of peace with the
Hohenzollern military power. The
mere statement in the kaisers note
that his chancellor speaks for the Ger
man people as well as for the German
government is not here considered a
sufficient guaranty that your terms
have been complied with. With the
government of Germany still under
the Hohenzollern dynasty and the I'M
surrendered German army still under
command of the kaiser and the Prus-
sian military power, there is no basis
for q satisfactory peace.
latter turning the fruitful countries
of Europe into a desert and doing to
death thousands of inoffensive old
men and women and children, with a
cruelty surprising the Apache Indian,
the German government, so far as the
German people know anything about
it, mercifully accepts terms of peace
proposed by the allies,
Entitled to No Honor.
Should the kaiser's troops now re-
tire to, or within the German border,
it will carry the deception still farther.
1t will appear their military masters
were not so far wrong in their prom
ises. That, if this is not a peace with
victory, at least it is a peace with
honor and the honors of war, for no
foe has set foot in Germany.
kansas feels the people of Ger
many must be made to know their
militarists have been whipped, and
that bringing this fact home to them
should be one of the preliminary
conditions of peace. Nothing can be
done to Germany which in any meas
ure can atone for the crimes commit
ted in its name, but the German peo-
pie must know that the plan of their
militarists to become masters OF the
world has failed ANONYMOUSLY. Every
German regiment should be required
to lay down its arms and surrender
formally to an ally commander. Then
Kansas feels the allied armies should
give the German people a vision of the
meaning of q world in arms by march
ing thru to Berlin and camping on
German soil while the peace terms are
being cOnsidered.'

Don t Ask Central
For Correct Time;
To Deny Requests

Hereafter if you want to catch an
early train don't depend upon the
girls on duty at the central telephone
office to call you. Also, if you want
to know what time it is don't ask
central. Central has no grudge
against you and would gladly con-
tinue to look after your wants in
this respect. But Postmaster General
Burleson has decreed otherwise. He
has issued instructions that requests
for the correct time and early calls
must be politely declined It was
also stated Yesterday that the same
instructions were issued to the tele-
graph companies.
Few people realize how telephone
girls have been annoyed in the past
by people calling up and asking for
the correct time. 1t was stated yes
terday that, particularly during the
school season, the local exchange has
answered on an average of 500 calls
! daily. These calls have taken up
| the time of one operator. The tele-
graph companies have also been both
cred, but perhaps not to as great an
| extent as the telephone company.
| Furthermore, while these calls were
| being answered legitimate patrons,
| in many instances, were neglected.
Therefore. in the future do not
! bother the telephone company or the
telegraph companies by asking them
for the correct time. as your request
will be met with a polite refusal.
