HUN HAS MORE HOWL
Troops Protest Against Order TO Va
cate Territory Held.

Berlin, Feb. 22.-German troops de-
Tending the Posen front against the
Poles at Birnbaum have addressed a
communication to National Assembly
man Ohler protesting against an Off
cial order to vacate territory held by
them in accordance with the condi-
lions laid down by Marshal Foch in
which a line of demarcation between
the Germans and the Poles was de-
fined. The communication declares:
1--WE propose to remain in the posi-
lions held by us SO long as we have a
cartridge left and so long as a spark
of fire remains no Pole will succeed in
invading our lines. The path to the
point designated by Marshal Foch will
lead over the dead bodies of thousands
of German men. If Marshal Foch is
determined to force matters to the ut
termost then he will find US ready. 1t
will 'open the gates of Bolshevism
which will overflow Europe"

Oldest Man In the State.

Baldwin. Feb. 22.-Arthur w.
Webster, 104 years old, probably the
oldest citizen of Kansas, died here
late Friday, at the home of his son,
Arthur Webster. Grandpa Webster
had been in failing health for several
weeks, but it was not until the last

the passing of one of Kansas pioneer
sons. He was born in Nova Scotia in
1915; went to Boston in early youth,
then to New York in 1916. After his
marriage he struck out for the west
and settled for a time in Indiana In
the early SOS he moved with his young
wife to Illinois. and finally, in 1857,
came to Kansas and settled in Pal
myra. by which name the northeast
corner of Baldwin is still known.
He has been associated with the
early history of Douglas county and
Baldwin for the past sixty-two years.
During President Grants administra-
ton, Mr.. Webster served as a deputy
revenue collector, with offices at Law
renee.
In 1865 Mr.. Webster purchased a
farm one mile southeast of Baldwin,
on which he lived for the next thirty
five years, After the death of his
wife, thirteen years ago, he made his
home with his son, who survives him
The son is past 20 years old
Grandpa Webster celebrated his

st. Joe, Mo-. Feb. 22.-When the

nounced that the league headquarters

Lincoln is here for a conference with
e. J. Hanlon of Sioux City, Iowa, own
er of the st. Joe franchise. who has
given notice that he will dispose of it.
A st. Joe syndicate headed by May
or ]. C. Whitsell and City Counsellor
Charles L. Faust. will make a bid for
the club, and a majority of the club
owners favor keeping it at St. Joe. 1t
is likely that a schedule of lao games
will be adopted opening in the south
ern division, and a staff of umpires
will be appointed. Tulsa, Okla, will

SEGREGATION PROBLEM
Let There Be No Friction, c. C. Crock
EFT Writes State journal.

Editor State Journal:
The question of segregation is of
very great importance as we stand to-
day at the threshold of the period of
reconstruction. The war has taught
many lessons; one OF the most useful
is the value of cooperation. The sue
cessful outcome of the conflict, III
which millions of lives have been sac
rificed; billions of dollars expended;
rich treasures destroyed; cities, towns
and villages laid waste, and no one
can estimate the human sufferings,
misery and sorrow involved, is due to
the most complete cooperation, ire
Spective of race, color or creed. Men
fought and died for common cause.
Devotion and sacrifice to the great
cause was truly magnificent. Even
the unpatriotic laggards were pushed
to action There must be no letting
down. There maEt be an unending
continuance of whole hearted CO.
operation and courageous devotion to
the principles of right. justice and
equality, which makes for the welfare
of all.
The education of our children is
matter of great Importance. 1t is one
of the main pillars upon which the
great structure of high civilization and
desirable citizenship is built.
Every AHleTlcd1l cItlZcA' III city
county, state and nation, should CO.
operate to the fullest extent in in
creasing rather than decreasing the
educational facilities of the most hum
BILE citizen Of this great nation. No
humiliating barrier should be placed
in the path of civilization. All Ameri-
can children are equally entitled to
every right and benefit derived from
public educational institutions.
II there are any who do not wish
to come in contact W.. others in
public let them withdraw from the
public; not the public from them. 1t
has been said that contact caused
tired that caused friction. All chill
dren should be taught to regard.
rather than disregard, the rights Of
others. If popular sentiment. the
board of educ ltion and any state laws
encourage segr cation and back a
portion of the children in their disre-
gard for the rights of others. there
will always be friction. Popular SEN
timent and all other potent agencies
should be utilized to create a friendly
feeling among the people, who must
live together in the same world. 1t
is true that the great majority of mis-
understandings and difficulties WI ich
arise between men are the result of
lack of contact. When people come
in contact, dis ;uss common inter ests,
differences disappear.
1t was Charles Lamb who said, "I
cannot hate the man whom 1 know"
If all our common citizens viii ac-
cept and act upon these noble prin-
ciples, we shall have reason to feel
that the hundreds of thousands of
brave men who laid down their lives
could not have made the supreme sac
ritice for any cause which will con
tribute more to the maintenance of
peace, the contentment of humanity
and the well being of mankind.

THEY ARE NOT WHIPPED.

They are not whipped:
They somehow came to see
The wisdom of surrender,
Ere our victory.
They are not whipped,
The beast still lives,
Just wearing for the day,
The clothing of the sheep,
Which it may cast away.
They are not whipped,
Their cunning does but sleep;
In friendships cloak
They hide their hideous sueers,
And gather strength and cunning
For the coming years;
They welcome dawn of peace,
And watch their children grow,
To warriors who can crush
Who dares to call them foe.
They are not whipped
The serpent coils to spring,
And we must teach their youth.
To spurn traditions of the fatherland,
And love the truth,
And know the love of God,
For He alone can make such brutes
of men,
And make them fit for human brother
hood again.
