policy or a disposition to put forward
men for opportunities just as the fight
was on?
General March, do not think that
is so. In a modern organization the
machinery that runs the fight is the
commander. The removal of one in
dividual commanding general. say. or
a division or corps or a similar case
like a division or regiment, and an
other man coming in and taking it
over with all its movements and
everything all worked out. could not
possibly disrupt the division. 1t could
not be done.
Mr.. Campbell-In the preparation
for this battle, which evidently would
have covered several days
General March-And did.
Mr.. Campbell-And did. doubtless;
General Martin and General Mcclure
were in charge and had the details of
this preparation. Their subordinates.
of course, were not familiar with the
details that had been placed in their
hands, and naturally would not be.
| Now, Immediately before the fight,
those generals who had prepared TO
move forward with their troops. were
displaced, and couple \pf subordi-
mates, who evidently had not been
familiar with the preparations that
those officers had made. were put in
charge. Would not have a bad effect
upon the protection of the troops?
General March-NO.

UNJUST IN INQUIRY
Swift Employc Says Committee Did
Not Use Files Right.

Washington. Jan. 27.-E. D. y.
Weld, manager of the commercial re-
search department of Swift & Co,
testifying today before the house in
terstate commerce committee. charged
that the federal trade commission had
made unjust use of the correspondence
files of the company during it's inres-
tigation of the meat industry.
mo investigation of any other in
dustry was conducted in such an OBJ
viously unfair manner" Mr.. Weld
said. When the files were examined
only such matter was taken as would
make a case against the packers. Sin
gle letters were taken and other let
tiers which would have given an en-
tirely different meaning to them. were
left.
THE federal trade commission I'M
doubtedly knew such a partial use of
the files would result in a wrong in
depreciation of the facts but continued
doing SO. even after this company re-
monStrated."

peka fire station.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pise of forming a benefit district ana
circulating petitions for the highway
as the cont Getting link between Topeka
and Kiro in the Fort Leavenworth =
Fort Riley road. Proposed plans call
ed for a surface of the concrete type.

Of the most beautiful motor drives in
the county as well a practical i'm
proVement.
The highway would connect with
city paving at the western terminal of
the Shorey street car line, which is To-
Gated just south of The Naples on
North Tyler street. From this point
the route would follow the upper Sill
yer Lake road, only a part of which
is al present macadamed.

commissioners and state highway
commission were favorable to the up

TRYING FOR A ROUTE
Douglas County To Receive Big High
way Bids Within Month.

This noon at the Chamber of Com
merce, A. Andrews, of Baldwin. rep
resenting Douglas county, told the
members of the progress made in
Douglas county on the Topeka-Law-
renee road.
Petitions have beeen circulated. the
road has been surveyed by the gov
eminent and now all that is holding
up the project is the securing of a
right of way across a pasture over
which it is intended to run the'road.
The road thru Douglas county will
follow the old California trail in or
der to dodge steep hills and hollow
places.
At several points the road will not
make a right angle turn at the corner
or point of intersection of two roads
but will cut around the corner which
will necessitate the right to cut across
a small portion of farm land.
According to Andrews it will re-
quire about a months time to COM
plete obtaining these rights. He does
not believe that any difficulty will be
experienced in obtaining them. AS
soon as this work is completed and
estimates have been made Douglas
county will be in a position to go ahead
with advertising for bids on the road
construction.

Military Prisoners Show Their Feel
ings After Baker Order.
Leavenworth, Jan. Military
prisoners staged d big demonstration
Saturday against the release of 113
conscientious DIRECTORS. due for release
today. They were measured for new
suits, purchased by the government
and their way home is paid. (Heroes
coming back from France after many
battles must buy their own civilian
clothes.)
On Secretary Bakers order these
men. who refused to obey any army
orders, will be given full citizenship.
Others of the STA objectors--I. w. w.
and the like, have hopes that Baker

said, are of unquestionably higher
type than the honored C. O.'s-
Going into a discussion of the basic
principles of the platform of the pa
cificists, /. w. VS.. International
Socialists and religious DIRECTORS, the
army officer said:
Behind all of their claims of OBJ
jections there is one point they miss,
in that of their faith, if such it really
is. is in direct opposition to the very
primary and fundamental principle of
government-the trading by the citi-
| zen of obligation for privilege. Gov
eminent is basically nothing more or
| less than that
These DIRECTORS have enjoyed every
] privilege man may know. Yet at the
| first call for the meeting of the obli-
cation they refuse, falling automati-
| cally into the anarchistic class.
IAN Insult 10 Millions.
| Notwithstanding all this. our most
| kind and sympathetic War Depart
| ment now is about to absolve them
| from their obligation and instead of at
! least Withdrawing the privilege, is
| returning that to them as a final insult
| to the million of men who met their
responsibility like men.
| at is the browning insult, removing
al honor of an honorable discharge.
and L question much if any thinking
soldier will have much respect for his
| honorable discharge, knowing the

who refused even to wear the
uniform
The release of 113 conscientious OBJ

PROTECT SHADE TREES
Danger From Canker Worm Is Scri-
Gus, Says o. f. Whitney.

Now is the time to- take steps to pro-
tect shade trees from the ravages of
the canker worm, says o. F. Whitney,
secretary of the Kansas chronological
commission. While climatic condi-
tons have been such that only a few
insects have survived there are still
sufficient numbers to cause great dam
age, he warns.
So far the best method advocated is
to band the trees with a slip of cotton
batting about four inches wide and
cover this with strip of heavy paper,
pressing the cotton into the crevfces
of the bark. Cover the paper with
some sticky substance that will hold
the wingless moth. renewing it from
time to time and removing the dead
insects. The ground has but little
frost in it at the present time, and a
few warm days, it is pointed out, will
enable the moth to emerge and ascend
the unprotected tree. Then will come
the infestation and eventual defolia-
ton.
