asked to attend the meeting at the
school house located in the district in
which that particular person lives. All

O'Clock. All meetings will be in charge
of a committee appointed for the pur-
mittee of the city.
The Kansas quota in the war

$37,OO0,000. The Topeka quota, which
is expected to be well oversubscribed
tonight, is $993,000.
Topekans are warned to remember
that The pledge made tonight to buy
war savings stamps is not a demand
for immediate cash payment on the
full amount of stamps subscribed for.
1t is the promise of the person signing
the card to buy a certain number OF
the green war savings stamps before
January 1, 1919. Tie pledge Is just
like the pledge to the Red Cross You
promise to pay so much money before
January 1, and that money is payable

What Is Expected.
For instance, a persCn promises to
buy war savings stamps representing
a total amount of $50 before. January
1. This amount represents the pur-
chase OF one stamp each month be-
tween now and the first of the year
This should be the least amount any
one person should subscribe for, tho
small subscriptions will be just as
welcome.
1t is expected that every man, wo-
man and child realizes by this tims
that the United States is at war, thai

President Wilson Said To Favor
Universal Service.
Would Continue Military Train
ing After War.

Washington, June 2S.--A direct step
toward universal training-both mill
tary and vocational-of the nations

partment in September. The tentative
era1 measure changing the draft ages,
will provide that youths of IS, 19 or

at which age they may be drawn into
the military establishment.
Wilson for Universal Training,
AS reported recently by the United
Press, President Wilson is understood
to favor careful training of young men
has come. That he and Secretary
Baker are about to urge such training
as an actual war measure also was
stated by members of the house and
senate military committees today.
Want Carefully Drawn Bill.
The reason the president and Secre-
tary Baker urged postponement of the
proposed legislation to increase the
draft ages now is understood to have
carefully worked out plan whereby
both now and after the war the ma
tons man power may be trained and
best utilized. The man-power bill, it
is stated, will make it possible to turn
to war work or fighting every man
between the ages of 21 and so years.

1t is not unlikely that the Russian gov

of the death of Nicholas Romanoff be-
before making it public thru regular
channels
Berlin had reported recently that
the former emperor was being re-
moved from Ekaterinburg to Moscow
Czecho-Slovak troops control the
southern route and it is probable that
if the Bolshevik did take the former
emperor from Ekaterinburg they took
him by the railway running thru
Perm.
The former Russian empress was
last reported as being in Ekaterin-
burg with her husband and daughter.
Verified by German Paper.

Enter Into Treaty To Defend
German Tyranny in Poland.
SecretAgreementPutsOppressed
Nation Under Iron Heel.
DISCLOSED BY GALICIAN PAPER
Russian Reds Will Fight
Allies IL Necessary.
Agree Not To Send AgitatOrs
Into Germany or Austria.

London, June 2S.-Germany and
the Russian Bolshevik government IN
n secret convention regarding the fu-
ture of Poland have virtually agreed
to cooperate in crushing Polish ma
tionalist aspirations
Details of the treaty have been
printed in the newspaper the Nations
Voice of Cracow, Galicia, according 70
a dispatch to the Times from Milan.
The Bolshe. .-ik government pledged
itself to r-cogniZe Austro-German
hegemony in Poland and to aid in
defending it against the former allies
of Russia.
The Cracow newspaper describes
the treaty as "a scandalous document,
showing the treachery of the Bolshe-
Wiki and the baseness of the Ger
mans"
1t gives the gist of the eight arti-
cles of the agr Nrnent as follows:
Poland to Germany.
First-The Polish policy shall be
conducted by Germany.
Second-The Russian government
pledges itself not to interfere with the
organization of Poland.
Third-The Russian government
may keep in touch with democratic
and revolutionary clubs in Poland
thru agitators known to the German
information bureau.
No Agitators to Germany.
Fourth-The sending of agitators
to Germany and Austria shall be sus-
pended by the Russian government,
Fifth-Russia shall exercise strict
vigilance over Polish .-atiCnal groups
so as to prevent them from enl1sting
in the Russi j territorial army.
Sixth-Russia 5hall consider viola
ton Of the frontiers OF Lithuania and
the Ukraine by Polish troops as dec
laration of war on Germany and Aus
Hungary and shall aid in crush
ing such troops. - ... 49,.
Only Germans May Exploit Poland
Seventh-Russia shall prevent Rus
sian citizens from investing their own
or French, British or American capi-
tai in any industrial undertaking in
Poland.
Boisheviki to Fight for Germany.
Eighth-Russia pledges itself to rec
ognize the eventual new state of things
to be created by Germany and Austria
in Poland and to defeat it against Rus
sia's Iormer allies.
There was great political unrest in
Poland last February after the CEN
trail powers and the Ukraine had
signed their peace treaty providing for
the annexatio nof the district of Cholm
by the Ukraine and while the Russo
German peace was being completed.
The Polish ministry at Warsaw re-
signed as a protest and there were
serious outbreaks thruout Russian Po-
land and parts of Galicia.

GERMAN LOSS HEAVY
Between 1 LOO and 200 Casualties in
Tuesdays Fight in Belleau Wood.

With the Americans on the Marne,
June 2s.-The total number of Ger
mans killed and wounded in Tuesday
nights battle in Belleau wood is be-
tween 1,1O0 and 1900, according to a
careful checking up of official reports
today.
This big proportion of casualties
was due to the barrage fire of the
American artillery, preventing the
boches from fleeing the wood. They
had to stand and take our machine
gun and rifle fire and bayonets.
There was a brilliant moon last
night and numerous patrol encounters
resulted. The Germans shot up with
machine guns one of their own pa
trolls which was running from an
American party. Another incident
was the use of gas shells against a
small American patrol

men FOR RUSSIA
Officially Announced That Per-
sOnnel Is Discussed.
Commission Will Go to Russia
To Investigate Conditions.

Washington, June 28.-Plans for
sending a commission to Russia to as
sist that country economically and in
dustrially have advanced to the point
where it is possible to announce on
official authority that the personnel of
the commission is now being discussed.
Seeking Men Familiar With Russia.
Men familiar with industrial condi-
tions in Russia, and especially those
acquainted with the transportation
systems of the country, are being
sought. The delicate work which the
commission will be called upon to per-
form in dealing with numerous fac
tions in country just beginning to
work out its destiny will require that
each person selected be weighed care
fully as to his fitness. 1t may be some
weeks before the personnel is complet-
ed. The decision of the government
to fulfill President Wilson's pledge
that the United States stands back of
Russia ready to give any aid possible
1T is understood will not be changed by
development there.
Will Not Send Prominent Men,
1t is not contemplated that the COM
mission will undertake any work of a
political or diplomatic nature except
insofar as it is necessary for accom-
p1shing its purposes in an industrial
way. For that reason the chairman
likely will not be a man connects
with the government, or who has held
high position and been constantly in
public life. Rather, 1t Is hoped, to
find men for the commission who
have been intimately connected with
Dig industrial enterprises and who
can approach the Russians with sin
gleness of purpose to offer expert ad-
vice on internal reconstruction.
No Military Force Contemplated.
The object of the commission will
be solely to help Russia. There will
| be no show of force accompanying it
! but it is expected that due precau.
tions will be taken to safeguard the
| life of the members. If any actor
F.. becomes necessary, it will be of po.
! lice nature, rather than military
