TABLET FOR BOYS
Bronze Memorial to Kansas
Soldiers Who Have Died.
Military Sisterho0d in Topeka
Has Charge of Plans.

A bronze tablet is to be erected in
Topeka as a memorial to the soldiers
who have given their lives in the war
for democracy. The Kansas men who
will not come back from the battle
fields of France will be named on the
tablet.
The work of raising the memorial
will be in charge of the Military Sis
terhood, an organization of the women
organized in Topeka by Mrs. c. L.
Martin and became a statewide or
ganization with chapters in g. good
many Kansas towns. Later the idea
of the Sisterhood spread over the
country. and there are chapters in a
numbers of states.
The Military Sisterhood has decided
not to raise money thru the ordinary
methods of public benefits or syste-
matte solicitation. But the club asks
that any one who has a contribution
to offer for the project of keeping in
permanent form an honor roll of Kan
sas heroes, is asked to send the SUBJ
scription or notification of subscrip-
ton to Miss Grace Overmyer, of the
Topeka Capital, or to Miss Bertha
Hampstead, of the Topeka State Jour
nal. Mrs. E. c. Fable is president
of the organization.
Officers of the Military Sisterhood
have interviewed Mayor J. E. House.
and have received his approval of the
project of erecting the memorial in
Topeka. Arrangements for the design
and the location and probable cost of
the monument will be made later

The first world food administra

or phases of the situation, including
conditions in the central empires. The
huge problems of transportation and

the office of the federal court asking
a writ of habeas corpus to secure their

members of a band which terrorized
Illinois and parts of other states sew

When arraigned in the federal court
for the eastern district of Illinois, they
assert, they plead not guilty. bnt allege
that they were told by the authorities
that if they would plead guilty they
would not be sentenced to more than
five years imprisonment. Accordingly,
they changed their plea and were sem
fenced to serve four years. About that
time. George Cakes, another alleged
member of the band. was indicted by
grand jury and later sentenced to
twenty years Imprisonment. Because
of evidence brought out in this trial,
