KEEP THE SEAS FREE
English Minister Churchill Tells Of
Plans for the Future.

London, Nov. 26.-Speaking at Dun
dee tonight, Winston Spencer Church,
jill, minister of munitions, said that
while he would do everything in his
power to make a league of nations a
practical and powerful reality. 1t would
be no substitute for the supremacy of
the British fleet.
In reference to the freedom of the
seas he said: go
From the. battle Of Ira talgar to the
end of the nineteenth century we were
absolutely free at sea. We were the
only nation whose ports were open to
the world, whose markets were I'M
restricted by any tariff and whose
coastwise trade was not held as a
national monopoly. Even our kith
and kin from the United States, whose
affection and aid have been so dear to
us, never practiced that broad. liberal
policy which we, for a century of I'M
challenged supremacy have shown
upon the sea-
Let us be careful not to catch the
infection of German ideas at the mo-
ment we have defeated the German
army If other nations of the world
are content to allow US to keep the
supremacy Of the seas without demur
it will be because we hold it as a

tho nothing can be said as yet about

Many Towns May Be Closed.
Alarming increases in influenza
cases in Topeka and other large towns
Of the state indicated today that many
towns are to be blanketed so far as
public gatherings are concerned.
Reports from western counties and
rural districts where conditions have
been most severe, show an improve
ment. At Garden City and Elkhart
conditions are declared to be much
improved.
"a new closing order will be issued
only when we are convinced there is a
genuine and menacing increase in the
number of influenza cases." said Doc
tor Crumbine. ut is natural that a
reasonable increase should be noted
in all of the larger towns OF the state
following the lifting of the former or
der. However, several physicians have
held back their reports and this situa-
ton has possibly given unnecessary
concern. New cases reported are in
the main less severe than in the first
attack, indicating that the disease is
wearing itself out in the state"

with evident surprise. Secretary Dan

certain American naval representa-
tives had suggested no such plan.
No intimation has been given as to
the policy of the United States in this
regard. Admiral Benson, the ranking
officer among the American delegates,
received full instructions before his
departure, however, and undoubtedly
this point was covered in his confer
ences with Secretary Daniels. II the

Washington, Nov. 27.--Demobiliza-
ton of the military forces Of the ma
ton will leave in possession of the
government enormous stores of cloth
ing. The amount of clothing and
equipage on hand for the use of the
army on November 1, ten days before
hostilities ceased, is shown in re-
port made public today by Brig. Gen.
Robert z. Wood, acting quartermaster
general and director of purchases and
storage. Included in the list of arti-
cles of clothing on hand and not in
possession of the troops on November
l were in round numbers 100000
cotton coats, 100000 wooden coats.
100000 overcoats; 100000 flannel

Some of this large supply of cloth

the fiscal year, which sdoes not end
until next June.
For that time congress, working up
on the theory that the war would
continue, appropriated and authorized
approximately $36,0OO,O0O,OO0. How
much of this can be recovered, Sherley
will determine in the next few days
after a series of conferences with ex-
ecutive heads.
When the war was on, Sherley in
sisted on giving every dollar asked to
prosecute it successfully. Now he feels
the time has arrived for his commit
tee to take full charge of appropria-
tions and decide what shall be spent
and what shall not.
The determination to demand a
thoro revision of all departmental esti-
mates as reached by those SO far
received by Sherley's committee show
little reduction in comparison with war
time requests. In q few cases there
is an actual increase.
All Want More.
The result of intimation of salary
boosts for department heads has re-
suited in an avalanche of requests for
raises for officials high and low in the
estimates received so far. Appropria-
ton committeeman have about decided
that there will be no increases at all
since the cost of living will probably
fall before the higher pay would be
effective.
One department asked for a COM
pIete reorganization of the whole staff
with pay boosts running into the hun
dreds' of thousands.
Republican today declared they
were glad that Sherley had taken the
lead in the fight for economy. point
ing out that no charge of politics could
be made with a Democrat doing the
chopping.
Committee Meets Monday.
The appropriations committee Mon
day will begin hearings to determine
just how much of the $36,000,00O,000
war appropriations and authorizations
can be recovered.
After the hearings a deficiency bill
formally revoking appropriations ex-
pected to run into billions and provid-
ing funds to care for government de-
partments until June 80, the end OF
the fiscal year, will be framed.
When the department heads are
called before the committee they will
be told specifically that their estimates
for the next appropriation bill, which
is now being framed, must be cut to
the last dollar.
1t is the best intention of the COM
mittee to start it's hearings with the
war department.

STRAWBERRIES, T00!
Gathering Them Now One Of Topeka's
Pre-Feast Thanksgiving Tasks.

In the old days killing and picking
the turkey and cooking the cranberry
sauce were the principal preparations
for the Thanksgiving dinner. But
times are changing, and now number
of Topekans add to their pre-feast
tasks that of gathering the ripe straw
berries from their backyard gardens. =
Among those who were engaged IN
such tasks today was Mrs. John Cook,
of 1881 Western avenue, who has a
big bed of everbearing plants and who
expected to have all the berries she
and her family could eat tomorrow.
Mrs. Cooks plants are not only
bearing, but they also are blooming,
and she expects tot have strawberries
until almost Christmas time. Every
night and every cold day she keeps
them covered up, but when the sun
comes out and it is warm enough the
covers are removed and they are al
lowed to rfpen.

Brussels, Nov. 27.-"Belgium must
have the left bank Of the Scheldt." and
this demand should be made at the
peace conference, it is agreed by all
political parties In Belgium. The cor
respondent has talked with many Dip
lomats, ministers and members Of par
Lament and they all agree on Belgian
occupation Of the left bank of the
Scheldt. =
Same extremists say ''Belgium's nat
ural frontier in the east is the left
bank of the Rhine, while q more mod
crate group would be contented with
the cession of Luxembourg.
So far as the payment for losses is
concerned, Belgium reckons her losses
unofficially at thirty-three billion
francs.
The Scheldt river flows thru Belgium on
most of Its course. North of Antwerp the
Scheldt enters Holland. This situation is
awkward for Belgium in that entrance to
its principal port is controlled by another
nation.
