TWO CARS ARRIVE
Equipment for National Guard
Is Stored in State House.
Includes All That Is Needed by
Army in Field.

Equipment for the rev Kansas ma
Hopal guard is arriving in Topeka,
and the basement of the north wing
of the state house looks like the store
rooms of a large mail order house.
Two of the nine cars of equipment ar
rived in Topeka Sunday and are being
unloaded tdday. The contents of
these cars are-extremely varied. They
field ranges. camp kettles, shovels.
rakes. tent fixtures and a multitude
of other equipment, absolutely new
and of the latest pattern.
1t will be but a few days time until
absolutely everything needed by an
army in the field will have arrived and
be ready to issue to the guardsmen.
1t all comes ait absolutely no expense
TO the state. The federal government
has set aside a special sum of money
to cover the cost of arms. equipment
and clothing for the national guard
of each state. and a state may draw
any amount of equipment it sees fit
provided the aggregate value thereof
comes within the total apportionment
of funds for that state.
The existing guard unit In Topeka,
Company II of the Fourth regiment.
has been provided with an armory at
400 Quincy street. and the building
at that place is fast being converted
into an excellent quarters. Company
H is actively boosting the recruiting of
another infantry company for Topeka
The second company already has more
than half the requisite number of men
enlisted and expects to have the full
quota by the close of the present week.
The two infantry companies. together
with a projected supply company and
a headquarters company, will occupy
the same armory. The advantage OF
such an. arrangement is that the
money allotments that the state pros
vides each unit for armory rent. can
be pooled and a much more satisfac-
tory common headquarters can he OBJ
tanned than should each unit endeavor
to maintain separate armory.
All men of military age who are in
terested are asked to present them
selves on Tuesday evening at 1890
O'Clock at the old armory of Company
H. 112 East Seventh street, and enlist
in the new company.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 27.-Proc-

last week, was begun here today. Two

and $500, and a suit of clothes await
ed each man as he signed discharge
papers. Many did not need the suits
which were provided at the order of
the war department, preferring to
wear the suits used in the barracks.
1t was said that some DIRECTORS would
refuse the pay and allotments.
The war department, it is expected
here, will be able to arrange some way
by which the two men who refused
to sign the discharge papers can be
released. Instructions have been ask
ed from Washington on their cases.
1t was announced later that prob
ably some of the men would not be
released today on account of illness,
but would be given their discharge as
soon as their health permitted.
The men were discharged in groups
of ten and were given their mileage.

Few of the men needed the suits

The action of the commissioners of
Shawnee county in letting the contract
for the construction of nearly eleven
miles of lard surfaced -oad will be
commended by every citizen interested
in the progress of Topeka and the
surrounding territory. The prices
may seem high but all prices are high
and are likely to remain so for some
time.r 1t viii be found cheaper in
the long run to pay the prices de-
manded and get the work started than
it would be to wait, even tho a few
Thousand dollars might be Saved. The
money invested will begin to bring in
returns as soon as the work shall be
completed. in fact as soon as it shall
start. The Shawnee county contract
is said to be the first one in the state
carrying federal aid. 1t marks the
beginning of a program of road i'm
provement which has been long in the
talking stage, Shawnee county's lead
probably will be followed quickly by
similar action on the part of other
counties turnout the state.

SO MORE CASES OF FLU
Big Increase in Epidemic Reported at
Health Dept Today

Thirty-nine cases of influenza were
reported in the office of the public
health department at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon. A certain per cent of
these, perhaps half the cases listed,
arose Sunday and were not reported
until today.
Most of the new cases are among
children of the grade school age but
they are just effective carriers of the
disease as are older people. DR.. H
L. Clark, city health officer, feels that
with the extra health supervision now
being supplied the schools by the
health department and the industrial
nursing movement which has become
an esta blished factor in the business
life of the city, a third epidemic neces-
stating the former stringent closing
restrictions may be avoided.

be signed before next June. Continu

roads for twenty-one months thereaft-
err would reach beyond the 1920 cleo
tion and that appears to be the plan
of the politicians, in order to make
the subject an issue in the next cam
paign.
If the question of return of the rail-
roads to private ownership were put to
vote among business men, the verdict
would undoubtedly. be for returning
them. This decision would be based
on the experience of travellers and
shippers during the war period under
government control. The public has
suffered the greatest inconvenience

asperatingly late arrivals and indif-

borne these inconvenience with re-

cheney of service and referred to it in
his annual report, outlining the ham

Twelve thousand shipbuilders in
London went out today asking in
creased wages.
A partial strike was on in the GIas-

allied trades unless their demands
were granted.
