P0SSEmEN IN PURSUIT

KANSAS CITY, Kan, July 11.-OH-
cials of the American Express COM
pany said here today that the robbers
who held up fast Missouri. Kansas

near Paola. Kans. obtained very little
money from the express car. They
declared about $50 worth of jewelry

ment the car obtained.
PAOLA, Kan, July 11.-A posse of
two hundred men today was patrolling
the banks of the Marais de Cygne riv-
er near here awaiting the signal to
rush a largo patch of timber in which
it was believed were hiding a dozen
men who late last night held up a
south bound NJ K. & T. passenger
train at Koch Siding just south of
Paola, shot three persons, looted the
express and mail cars and made their
escape.
The posse is composed of members
of the county Anti-Horse Thief Asso-
citation and home guards from Osa-
watomie and is led by county and rail
road officials The possemen were
called together within an hour after
news of the robbery became known
and Immediately started in pursuit OF
the fleeing bandits who left the scene
of the holdup in automobiles. A re-
port reaching here early today was
that the bandits, closely pursued by
the possemen abandoned their cars
and took refuge in the timber which
affords an excellent hiding place.

(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, July 11.-Since the
Germans entered Finland $4,000 work
men there have been arrested and
many of them have been executed, de-
clared Hugo Haase, leader of the mi
nority Socialists, in a recent speech
in the reichstag, according to YER
batim report published by the Het-
volk. The deputy also criticised Ger
man rule in Livonia and Esthenia.
After pointing out that those who
provoked civil war in Finland were
responsible for the calling in Of the
Germans, Deputy Haase said:
The list of those sentenced to death
in Finland contains the names Of a
former premier and so Socialist mem
5ers of parliament. some of whom al
ready have been shot. Owing to the
numerous daily executions, the town
of Sveaborg has been renamed Col
gotha."
The speaker then referred to the
suppression of vernacular newspapers
in the provinces of Livonia and Es-
thonia and added:
Fifty persons recently were arrest
ed at Dorpat and German military die
tatorship rules everywhere. A boy
aged ten was sentenced to a long i'm
prisonment for concealing arms, while
a boy Is years old was sentenced to
death for picking up a manifesto. For
a similar offense woman named Julia
Daft was executed"
Deputy Haase then read letter
from a Bclshevik now under arrest
which said:
Julia Daft is dead, but her last
words will live forever, as will the last
maledictions which she flung at the
German hangmen and oppressors.

final TRIBUTE
TO DEAD HERO
New York in Tears as Body of
Major Mitchell is Borne
Through City.
(By Associated Press,

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE body Of
John Purroy Mitchell in a flag draped
casket on which rested the cap which
he wore as a major of aviation was
borne through the streets Of New York
while tens of thousands watched in
silent tribute.
New York has seen other military
funerals for heroes of the nation, but
those who witnessed the solemn pro-
cession which escorted the former
mayors body from City Hall to ST.
Patrick's Cathedral today felt that
none could have been more impress
sive. All along the route stood peo-
pie with barred and bowed head, many
in tears.
The bell in the city hall tolled as
the casket was borne from the rotun-
da where 1t had lain in state through
out the night and placed on an ar
tillery Caisson drawn by four horses,
which conveyed 1t to the cathedral
and thence to Woodlawn cemetery.
City Hall park was dense with citi-
zens and the procession of soldiers,
sailors, policemen, firemen, Red Cross
nurses, civilians representing all city
departments, distinguished men of
the city, state, nation and representa-
tives of the allies, had some difficulty
in forming.
Behind the Caisson followed Major
Mitchel's horse with boots reversed in
the stirrups and bearing also his re-
versed sword. Next came his widow
anad relatives in carriages. followed
by the pallbearers. Also in line were

They have not stifled, but have stim-
ulated her energy and we grasp the
opportunity tonight to acknowledge
our abounded admiration of the mag
nificent contribution America has
made, is making and will continue to

Here again we gratefully trace the
guiding hand and driving will of the
president.
Probably the world owes it's great

We cannot ask ourselves too often
what We are fighting for. President
Wilson has done more than any other
statesman to concentrate the minds
of his own people. of the ALLIES and
even of enemy peoples upon a league
of nations as one dominating world
aim.
There can be no clean peace which
does not clear away the causes Of
war. 1t seems to me all important that
both here and in America We should
realize and act as though we realized
it, that league Of nations is neither
vague political abstraction nor an
empty rhetorical formula, but a con-
crete and a definite ideal. This is a
large step in advance on the road of
human progress. but 1t can and must
be taken, and when the goal is reach
ed. due honor will be paid to Presi-
dent Wilson as the greatest of its
pioneers"

Labor Mobilization as
Important as Fighting,
Labor Secretary Says
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 11.-With from
six to ten workers required at/home
to keep one soldier on the firing line
in Europe anything that helps to mo-
bilize and distribute labor for war in
dustries, is as important a factor in
winning the war as the armies in the
field. Secretary of Labor Wilson said
today in d letter addressed to the
Southern Sociological Congress in ses-
sion at Gulfport. Miss.
Secretary Wilson said all industries
and workers would be greatly affected
by the order requiring that all recruit
ing of unskilled labor be handled by
the federal employment service after
August /. Many abuses growing out
of the large labor turn over and con-
sequent disruption of industry will be
created he said.
