result has been that these Germans,
aided by the Austrians, have gained
control of the once popular Foreign
club and use it as a gathering place to
discuss the war news and to drink
tcasts to the kaiser and his generals.
Strange Germans arrive from the
south wearing cotton drill suits and
Panama hats, are registered at the
club under fictitious names, confer
with the local German-Austrian
colony and then disappear again.

PLAN FARM HELP
Labor Meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce Today.
City Men To Be Asked To AS
Sist in Harvests.

The first district farm labor meet
ing was in a session at the Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon to consider
the possibilities of enlisting city help
for the gathering of the harvest this
summer and to set a uniform wage
scale to be paid to harvest hands for
their services.
The meeting of the farm labor con-
ference was called by f. E. Frizell,
CT Larned, state farm agent. County
agents from the first district and rep
resentative farmers from the district
have been asked to attend the con-
ference 1t is said that the invitation
was also extended to include several
owners of big business firms in the
district
According to A. D. Folker. Shawnee
county farm agent, the meeting today
will probably result in an intensive
campaign among the merchants,
clerks and professional men of To-
peka to forego their sual summer
vacations and devote the time so
saved to work in the harvest fields.
Folker pointed out that unless the city
people listen to the call of the siren
pitchfork and the header. the biggest
is in danger of destruction thru in
ability of the farmer to harvest it all.
The district meetings are to be held
in each of the eight districts CT the
state, and it is announced that the
campaign to put the city man into the
harvest breach will be a statewide
affair.

UKRAINE IS RILED
Hun Demands for Food Meet
Open Hostility.
Bavarian Cavalry Is Dispatched
To Settle Matters.

London, May 1.-THE situation in
Ukraine has become SO disturbing
that the Germans have dispatched
large detachmentss of Bavarian cav
airy from Flanders on the way to
Ukrainia.
New Ruthless Policy.
New York. MAY 11.-Faced by the
pressing necessity of securing more
food to lessen dangerous unrest at
home, Germany is entering a new
policy cf ruthlessness in Ukraine
which may drive the Ukrainian re-
public into an alliance with Russia
for mutual resistance against the
Hohenzollerns.
The kaiser's principal purpose in
creating the Independent republic of
Ukraine was to put under the con-
troll of Germany the principal food
supply region of Russia. The Ger
mans believed that both on the score
of gratitude and because of the COM
parative ease of dominating the new
Ukraine government. there would be
no difficulty ir obtaining immense
stores of foodstuffs from the south
Russia area.

With tears dimming her blue eyes she

Government Has Made No Anti
Hearst Move.
Hearst Publications Are Scored
by T. r. as DislOyal.

New York, May 11.-Colonel Eoose-
welt will carry to the senate his figh.
against Postmaster General Burleson.
Today he was on record with a brief
preliminary statement" in which he
declared the government had shown
favoritism in attacking Golfers, the
Metropolitan magazine and New York
Tribune for criticism of the admins
tration, while the Hearst publications,
which Roosevelt said had been helpful
to Germany, had not been interfered
with.
The ColoneFs next move is to am
plify these charges in a letter to some
senator SO they will appear perman-
emily in the official records.
Roosevelt's statement was in repl,
to that charge from Bur1eson that he
name the publications to which he
had reference when, in an editorial he
unjust discrimination in it's dealings
with certain periodicals. Roosevelt
said:
"The prime example of failure by
the administration to proceed against
newspapers which opposed the war or
attacked our allies, directly or indi-
rectly aided Germany is afforded by
the failure of the administration to
deal with Mr.. Hearst's papers as it
has dealt with certain other papers.
Mr.. Hearst is very wealthy man, re-
puted to be much more than a mil
lionaire, owning a dozen newspapers.
more or less. and half dozen maga-
zines in different parts of the country.
Example Is Cited.
AT the very beginning of the war
the. government proceeded success
fully against Tom Watson's publica-
ton in Georgia.
yet Tom Watson had done MOTH
ing that was anything like as danger
Gus to this country and our allies and
as helpful to Germany as Mr.. Hearst
had done. 1t is interesting to remem-
