1t is expected that the three flyers

been designated unofficially as one OF
the stopping points on the first trans
continental aerial mail route.
According to a letter received few
days ago by Governor Capper from
the Standard Aircraft corporation, To

on the air route. The plan for the
route has been submitted to the post

FREEDOM OF The SEAS
Legal Correspondent of London
Times Talks.

London, Dec. 17.--In an article analyzing
American views Oh the freedom of the seas,
the legal correspondent of the Times says
Far from there being any necessary an
tagonism between the British and American
views of the so-called freedom of the seas,
there is revealed as the discussion proceeds.
the possibility of an Anglo American agree
ment respecting the main lines of the decla-
ration of maritime rights and duties, to be
worked out in detail not at the peace con-
ference, but at future conference.
'The law of the past has been the same
in both countries. The prize courts in
England and in America have followed the
same rules. This agreement may be con-
tinued if there is recognition of the facts as
they are, among which are the unique posi-
ton of England and the scattered. frag-
mentary character of her empire.
Both countries would doubtless insist
upon restrictions being imposed upon sub
marine war while the practice of strewing
mines in the open sea is condemned both
by Great Britain and the United States.
They both sought in 1907 to prevent abuses
of the practice, but were opposed by Ger
many. Many questions affecting neutrals
sonable settlement if Great Britain and
America take tine initiative"
The Times in an editorial emphasis its
conclusion that there is no antagonism be-
tween the British and American views, and
it sees reason why an agreement should
not be concluded. In one form or another,
it argues, the doctrine of continuous voy-
age as developed by England in this war
"iatterly with the full consent of the
United States. is sure to become part OF
recognized international law,

AFTER NAVY men
Captain Lanning Estimates
100000 Must Be Recruited.
They Will Be Needed Next Year
To Fill the Ranks.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two hundred
thousand men must be recruited for
the navy next year to take the place
of men enlisted for the war who will
be demobiliZed. Capt. H. Laning,
chief of the bureau of navigation,
made this estimate today in asking the
house naval affairs committee for an
appropriation of $12,O0O,000 for trans
portation and recruiting.
After July 1, next, $4,000 men will
be needed in the regular naval force
to man the naval and shipping board
vessels, Captain Laning told the COM
mittee. The regular navy at present
has 215,000 men and 10000 of these
enlisted since the war began, 120, 900
for four years and As, 1000 for the dura-
ton of the war.
More than 60 per cent of the war
recruits have asked to be discharged.
Captain Laping said, and the navy is
in honor bound to release them.

Shawnee VIII Be Able To Show

Call for Supplies Indicates a
Real Activity.

Up and down Kansas avenue today,
out in the country districts and from
residence to residence the workers
soliciting memberships for the Ameri-
can Red Cross in the 1918 Christmas
roll call of the society piled their trade
and wore down many pencil points
making the registration of new and
renewal members. It was stated to-
day by some of the team captains that
it seemed next to impossible to talk
to prospective members. The men did
not need to hear the arguments as to
why they should belong to the Red
approaching, reached for their dollar
and said, 'All right, there it is
One of the features of the days
campaign which was sprung on an
unsuSpecting public this morning was
the sale Of Red Cross calendars at the
booths in the department stores and
banks. The calendars can be used as
either desk pads for business men or
as wall calendars for the homes.
At the Central National bank the
booth in charge of Mrs. w. A. Biby
was provided with red carnations by
the bank officials. These carnations
were sold to the customers in the bank
for 25 cents each-and from the num-
Der of the flowers in the buttonholes
of the men uptown today it would
seem that nearly every customer OF
the bank was a buyer.
Shawnee to Go Over.
Surface indications are all that can
be relied upon in the 1918 Christmas
Roll Call campaign of the Red Cross
in Topeka to show the progress of the
various drive teams. General head
quarters for the drive at the Cham
ber of Commerce has only it's supply
record on which to base opinions con-
corning the advance of the workers.
No official reports come in and the
continual demands on the headquar-
ters staff for increased supplies of but
tons and paraphernalia.
But the lack of official reports does
not necessarily mean that the cam
paign is tagging. Far from that
! uptown sections, and in the windows
OF houses IN the residence, sections
and in the country districts the num-
Der of flags displayed leave little
doubt that when the final tale of the
campaign is told that Shawnee coun-

return to national headquarters show
! ing a substantial increase in the
/ Shawnee county membership in the
| society.
Booths Open Today.
The booths in the stores. banks and
depots of the city were in place and
open for business today. Each booth
is presided over by two Red Cross
workers in uniform.
| 1t is expected at general headquar-
| ters at the Chambre of Commerce that
! the team captains will begin to turr
in partial reports soon. d. w. Null
, vane, chairman of the county cam
paign committee. has asked that every
+ captain turn in reports now so thai
! the officials in charge of the drive
will have something more definite
than hearsay on which to base theil
/ estimates of campaign needs.
