here today IN support of the league of
nations, Senator Pomerene of Ohio.
Democrat, of the senate foreign rela-

constitution SO as to make it more
definite and to specifically exempt
from its provisions the Monroe doc

was changed or left untouched. The
address was delivered at a luncheon of
the Cleveland City club.
Whatever of imperfections there

NIT that up to date no better plan has
been proposed by any of the critics of
the measure. They and we hope that
some means may be devised whereby
to prevent war in the future. The
opponents have pointed out some de-

world will not forgive those in au-
thority if they do not exert themselves
to the utmost to bring about some
plan which wiu,give promise and hope

MINISTERS ON STREET CORNER

More than $4,000 in cash and pledges
has already been turned in to the Sal
yation Army campaign committee as
an earnest of what the contributions
of the city will be when the campaign
is really under way Monday.
one subscription of $500 has already
been reported and credited to the ac-
count of the Salvation Army in the
campaign fund. Arthur Capper is the
donor of this amount. Charles S. Ell
liOtt and Frank p. MacLennan each
signed a pledge for $500 this noon. A
number of subscriptions of lesser
amounts were turned in today, the to-
tai coming to a little more than $4,000
or one-twelfth of the total fund asked.
The money reported today was con-
tributed by the captains of the mems
teams which will carry out the Solicita-
tion. campaign in the business section
of the city. Practically every captain
present at the meeting signed up for
a substantial amount-and a few cap
tains who were not at the meeting al
ready have promised to ''see" one of
the pledge cards for a good sum.
Special features of the pre-cam-
paign or enthusiasm work today and
tomorrow will be unique in the an
mails of Topeka history.

between these meetings and the reg

streets the work of the Salvation

NOT LONG IN A PORT
Rainbow Division Will Be Well Pro-
.vided For in Travelling.

Paris, March 22.-The famous Rain
bow division will embark from Brest
or st. Nazaire, instead of Antwerp or
Rotterdam, as previously planned, it
was announced today. The division
will sail shortly after the 26th division,
which Is scheduled to leave the middle
OF next month. Before starting from
Germany, the Rainbow will undergo
delousing and other embarkation for
malities, so their stay in port will be
brief. Special arrangements have been
made to make the long journey to the
French coast as comfortable as pos
sible
Sufficient cars will be provided to
prevent overerowding and each train
will have specially equipped kitchen

The project for routing the division
by way of Antwerp or Rotterdam after
traversing the Rhine, was abandoned
because of the narrowness of the
North Sea steamship lanes, the fire.

is given by all classes of men. 1t
will be an unusual sight to behold
such men as Doctor Kulp, Doctor
Estey, Doctor Sheldon and other lead
ing pastors of the city, men who habit
ually speaA from the finest pulpits in
the state, voice their convictions and
give their testimonials from the
street corner.
In these meetings tonight the speak
ers will have all the accouterments
and impedimenta which are SO well
known to everyone as the character
marks of the Salvation Army. The
drums and the tambourines will be
present and will be heard. The testi-
monials will be given by men who are
much more accustomed to making
talks in directors meetings and in
fine buildings than from soap box.
The meetings will be held on every
corner on Kansas avenue between
Fifth and Tenth streets.
Campaign in Auditorium.
Nor is this the only novel feature
of the two days preceding the cam
paign. Tomorrow evening at 1880
o'clock, eight of the uptown churches,
the ones mastering the largest rolls
of members, have united for the cam
paign and will hold a giant union
service at the auditorium. The spe-
cial feature of this meeting will be
the four-minute sermons which are
to be preached. 1t is not often the
Topeka congregations have either the
opportunity or the pleasure of hear
ing a hours sermon condensed into
four minutes of pulsating effort. This
attraction alone is expected to be suf-
ficient to pack the auditorium to
standing room only. But in addition
there will be plenty of special musical
numbers and vocal selections by the
finest musicians and choristers and
soloiStS in the city

WHAT PEOPLE READ.

For authentic information as to the state of the
public mind, go TO library You tell pretty we'll
what people thinking about by observing what
they read.
In New York city reading taste is said to have
changed markedly since the signing of the armis-
tice. War books have lost their popularity People,
weary OF horrors, turning for relief To light
novels. preferably romances and detective stories.
More serious folk looking into the subject Of
spiritualism this is true especially of those who
have lost relatives friends in the There is
quickened interest in all the so-called occult
sciences There is renewed interest in religon-not
orthodox religion much what might be called
religion Many people. reading busily
social and economic problems with emphasis
on labor conditions and commercial expansion.
Poetry is popular, perhaps. than before
both the pretentious poetry Of imagination and
that dealing simply and naturally with everyday
life.

Characterization holds true of the whole country,
and whether it applies this city.
