Conditions in Kansas.

He said that largely from the ef-
fects of prohibition there were sixty
nine prisons in Kansas that were va
cant and thirty-eight counties which
have not had criminal prosecution
In more than three years. He said
that a state did not need the liquor
revenue to make improvements in the
various cities. and cited the state Of
Kansas as an example. He also said
that after weeks visit at camp,
where he talked to more than 5000
soldiers from Kansas. he did not find
one who favored the return of the
saloon. and said that the big fight was
still on, however. to enforce the pro-

WITH v. j. MEN

The first clash that has occurred
during the strike of the union tele-

place this morning when Western
Union men on watch at the company's
once, 14th and G streets. broke up
party of union members who were
talking with a girl operator of
multiplex machine and escorted the
girl into the building.
For a few minutes n seemed that
fight would result from what the
strikers called interference on the
part of the company men. The
policemen stationed at the entrance
to the building, however, quoted the
strikers and the disturbance soon was
ended.

Disagree on Strike Effect.

Sam J. Small, chairman of the
strikers publicity committee. denied
the statements of company officials,
saying this morning:
I'VE know exactly the condition of
the Western Union and Postal. We
have ways of ascertaining facts as to
how badly they are crippled. The
Postal company is at a standstill:
their doors might as well be closed SO
far as moving of traffic is concerned.
The Western Union, 1t is true, with
the aid Of the members of the hand
picked Employees Association. is in
better shape at large terminals than
is the Postal company. However, we
have the Western Union hamstrung
and looking for an avenue of escape
from punishment.
Claim Order Is Elective.
THE Order of Railroad Telegraph
ers' cooperation Is effective. TIE
telegraph officials can, perhaps, fool
part of the public. but theyk can't
convince the shippers OF perisha bles
that tho telegraph service Is normal.
Our ranks are being augmented daily.
Itafs q cumulative strike-gains by
the strikers daily in every part Of the
country and no assertions. Other
labor bodies are Offering moral and
financial support literally. We are
in fine shape and prepared to continue
the strike Indefinitely"

LEAGUE SUPPORTED
| BY Mr.. M'CUMbER
Republican Senator Charges
Misrepresentation by Its
Opponents.
FAIR TO U. S., HE ARGUES

Declaring opponents Of the league
of Misrepresentation and distortion,
Senator McCumber of North Dakota.
a republican member of the foreign
relations committee. told the Senate
today that the league covenant Of
fered the only present hope of pre-
venting future and more terrible
wars.
Replying to arguments of many re-
publican senators, he upheld the
league as entirely consistent with the
American Constitution and devoid OF
any ability to dangerously entangle
or curtail American interests
Equally Borne by ALL"
I'm twenty years of service in the
Senate" said the North Dakota SEN
ator. Il have known but one instru-
ment whose terms have been so will
fully misinterpreted and so grossly
misrepresented as the covenant of the
league of nations. That some of 1T is
vague 1 know. and some portions OBJ
points. But that it discriminates
against us. is unfair in it's treatment
of our country. or that it imposes on
US any obligation of burden that is
not equally borne by every other ma
ton I most emphatically deny. 1t Is
regrettable that the mighty power or
eloquence is used to defame and dis
tort the true meaning of an instru-
ment, the most important that ever
appealed to the heart or the soul of
man.
Suppose we now refuse to join with
the rest of the world in some scheme
to prevent war. What will happen?
AS surely as the sun shall rise. every
great nation will proceed to devise
means for the wholesale destruction
of nations. So desperate will be the
next war that all the hate and all the
venom created by this struggle will
be inf1nitesimal compared with the
next. And against what race will all
these weapons of death be used?
Against the white race"
Quoting the declaration of Senator
Johnson, republican. of California, that
America by virtue of her isolation
does not need the European powers
"as partners. Mr.. McCumber said
isolation had long since broken down.
European quarrel having cost this
country in the past Ave years $4,000
lives and $4,000, 100000.

Say Thirteen Girls Join Strikers.

The girl. 1t was stated. was one OF
the fourteen multiplex operators who
last night. volunteered to join the
strikers. The other thirteen girls
stood by their promise. it was stated.
only one weakening and showing up
for work this morning. When this
girl appeared strikers and others at
temped to dissuade her. their efforts
being interrupted by the company
men. who succeeded in taking the girl
into the building. The thirteen. ac-
cording to Frank H. Mcdowell of the
executive committee of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union. refused to
go to work and are standing by the
strikers.
Special efforts are being made by the
strikers to cripple the multiplex serv-
ice Of the Western Union Company. as
they assert that only by the use of the
machines is the company able to ham
die any part of it's ordinary business.
The strikers claim that practically all
of the girls and boys operating these
machines have quit during the last
week. Officials of the Western Union
and Postal companies. however. assert
that the service is not interrupted;
that SO far as they are concerned no
strike exists. and that business is be-
ing handled on normal basis.

AMERICANS NOW
lNPER|L IN MEXICO
At Mercy of Rebels Should
Villa Start Campaign of
/.
ReprisaI.
MANY AT REMOTE POINTS

By the Associated Press.
Ell PASO, Tex, June 1S.-Interest in
Mexican developments on this border
shifted today from the Juarez sector to
the interior. where Americans are at the
of rebels should Villa start campaign
of reprisal against Americans.
Telegraph lines are down south of
Juarez. the railroad is completely wreck
ed between Juarez and Chihuahua City
and wagon roads are dangerous because
of Villas presence southwest of the
Mexican town so that nothing can yet
be learned of the developments south of
the international boundary. American
mining companies having American en-
ployes in isola ted mining camps in the
north have ordered their men to leave
and make their way TO the border by
way of Torreon in order to avoid the
Villa bands now believed to be rowing
over the country between Chihuahua
City and the border.
o. Few Reply to Warning.
Efforts to warn these Americans have
been made repeatedly since Sunday
night, but few replies have been re-
ceived.
Reports relayed from Parral to
Jiminez. Torreon and Laredo stating
that 1000 Yaqui Indians of Gen.
Manuel Dieguez's command had ar
rived there Srelieved the fears of the
American companies operating in that
district. This did not change the
orders of the American Smelling and
Refining Company, however, to have
their American employees in that camp
come to the border. Another large
operating company in the Parral dis
trict decided to leave their men there
as long as the troops garriSoned the
camps, officials here stating that they
considered their men safer there than
on the road to the border.

While the postponed delivery Of the

be said tonight that the government,
SO far as it is still represented in Ber-

Emphasis was also placed on the
statement that the cabinet. which is
now fully represented at Weimar. was
absolutely united in its attitude and
that there was no prospect OF any d.

The latter declaration appears to
have. been prompted by recurring re--
ports that Nautilus Erzberger, chair

Of concluding peace.
