3 FIRES IN AN HOUR
Topeka Firemen Had Hard Time
Eating Meal Today

The fire department had a busy
Session between IL and l o'clock to-
day. Three alarms were responded
to in that time. The first alarm oc-
Cured at 1850 o'clock. from the resi-
dence of w. F. Reynolds at 312 East
Sixth street. The blaze occurred in a
pail of trash in the basement. A fire
company quickly stopped this blaze.
'"Please don't have another fire until
1 finish my dinner" said one of the
firemen as he Sat down to finish his
interrupted meal. BuZ-Z-z-z, went the
telephone receiving station and the
pretty operator began to push buttons
with great speed The fireman never
sat down but dashed out the door,
downstairs to the wagons preparing to
leave the building. Another chance at
a meal shot to thunder. This time
they went to the Curtis planning mill,
at $50 Van Buren, street, where flying
sparks had ignited a pile of shavings.
No damage resulted at this blaze, eX-
cept the firemen had to eat cold food.
Soon after 1 o'clock another alarm
was turned in. This time street car
at Sixth and Kansas avenue broke
into a blaze from a short circuit. A
fire company saved the street car.

Some U. S. Peace Delegates Say
Foe Won't Accept Terms.
BrOckdOrff- Rantzau'S Speech
for Home Consumption.

Paris. May S.-"The Germans will
never sign" was the expression heard
from many lips in Paris today, fol-
lowing publication of the treaty draft
and Brockdorff- Rantzau's speech at
Versailles.
The same men attached to the
American commission who a few DAYS
ago said the chance of the Germans
signing was about fifty fifty" are
now among those saying the enemy
will never accept the terms. Men who
were recently confident the Germans
would sign now say the chances are
about even.
The reason for the increased pessi-
mism is believed to be the cuIminat ting
effect of seeing all parts of the treaty
together. whereas earlier opinions
were based on particular sections of
which various men had personal
knowledge.
The impression created i'm French
circles by Brockdorff- Rantzau's speech
can be summed up in one word, lin
solent"
Some of these expressed the belief
he seized the occasion as the first and
last opportunity to address the allied
delegates and therefore profited to the
fullest extent.
'Brockdorff-R antzau's m pud n
speech was intended more for history
and home consumption than for the
allies" said one high parsonage.

Men, Women and Children
Eager To Shake His Hand.
Fond Father Hears Praise of
His Sergeant Son.

Between shaking the. hand of nearly
every man, woman and child who
passed in front of the National hotel
this morning. Capt. Arthur NJ. Mills
paid a glowing tribute to the Topeka
boys as well as all boys in the both
Field Artillery who are Topeka's hap
Ply guests today.
IF it hadn't been for the spirit of
the boys and their soldierly qualities,
we could never have come home with
the excellent record We have now
said Captain Mills.
At this point w. T. Beerbohm
stopped to shake the hand of Captain
Mills. Beerbohms son in khaki was
at his side.
THAT certainly is a fine boy You
have there" said Captain Mills. In
character and other soldierly qualities
he couldn't be surpassed"
The lad blushed. He is a sergeant
in A battery.
Boys Won the War.
Another man with two soldiers be-
side him stopped to shake hands.
You certainly brought these boys
back looking fine" he said. I.
That was the one thing in the
world we wanted to do" said Captain
Mills. Those boys are the answer to
the eternal question on everyone's lips
of:
Who Won the War;"
Continuing Captain Mills declared
that the Kansas men in his command
owed a great debt to Providence for
their good fortune in so few casualties.
Only thru their obedience, tempera-
ment and home taught knowledge of
caring for themselves did they escape
the ravages of disease and death
which swept the battiefields of mud
dy, muddy France.
Personal mention, excepting in ex-
treme instances of bravery. doesn It
strike me as good policy" said Captain
Mills. 'All the men had to be brave
and true to win and we won. Every
one deserves equal credit"
BY this time the handshakes and
congratulations were coming in such
a barrage that further conversation
concerning the men, whom everyone
knows Captain Mills treated so square
". WAS imnOSSihle.

IN FRANCE 4 YEAR
School Detachment of 35th Has
Own Distinction.
Sailed Both Ways Same Day
and Same Hour.
LANDED and LEFT FROM BREST
Many TOpekanS Were in the
Special Detachment.
Were Trained in Most Techni-
cal of War Work.
ANDED AND LEFT FROM BREST

The unusual distinction of being in
France one year to the day and hour
belongs to the school detachment of
the 35th division, which preceded the
division across the sea.
The detachment, composed of Off
GERS, non commissioned officers and
privates of the infantry and artillery.
left Camp Doniphan March 20, 1918,
and sailed from Hoboken on the
George Washington March 80. After
a somewhat uneventful and rather mo-
notonOus trip across, the detachment
debarked at Brest at 1880 o'clock on
the afternoon of April l 3.
At the same hour and the same day
in 1919. the 1S0th field artillery with
about eighty of the school men aboard
sailed out of the picturesque harbor
Brest. The rest is history.
The school detachment was divided
into three units shortly after arriving
in France The infantry went into
training back of the British front.
Part of the artillery attended the ia
NOUS Second Corps school at Montigny
but the majority of the men were
students at the intensified artillery
school at Valdahon, Doubs, on the
Swiss border. 1t was the training OBJ
tanned at these schools by the officers
and men, along with the firing expert
ence obtained at Coetquiden when the
regiment arrived. that enabled the
130th to make such an excellent rec
ord on the front
Good Gun Record.
incidentally the Goth brigade COM
posed of the 12Sth, 10th and both
regiments, completed a course in in
tensified firing at Coetquidan in one
month. The average course was two
months, and some brigades were there
longer. Considering the fact that the
guns were of French make, and the
calculation of fire was the French
method, radically different from the
old American system of computing fir
ing data, this is an astonishing record
Among the Topeka men who were
on the school detachment were: Lieut..
Marshall Crawford, Lieut.. Howard
Searle, Frank Fable, Charles Near
thur, Thomas H. Parry, John l. Lewis,
Otto 3. Critchfield, Sanford FARRELL,
James ]. Carnahan, Howard Purdue.
Arthur Eng1e. Ralph Morgan, Carl
Lang, Edwin A. Fritz. Joseph o. Mar
shall, Edwin F. Bell, Charles w.
Blades, William J. Moseley, John B.
Schwab,' Marion A. Smith.
These men were trained in the fol-
lowing courses: Gunnery, material,
orientation and the preparation of
fire. wireless and telephone. Two of
them were wounded in the Argonne:
Sergt. Joseph o. Marshall and Corp.
John l. Lewis. both of the Second bat
talon detail of headquarters company.

to visit a number of counties, where
he will inspect farms and industrial

The Atchison editor will cover a

few things smattering on politics. He
may also touch up" Governor Aliens

Sounds Like Remedy.
Just yet 1 don't know much about
the farm tenantry," said Howe in a
manner that indicated he expected to
give the question some serious study.
1T sounds tho. like another remedy
My experience with remedies has been
that they always sound good but give
little relief and are not of consider
able public good"
1t is probable that good roads will
also come in for a little trimming.
There have been more good road
speeches than I ever heard" Howe
declared-"and the roads were never
so bad. They keep a lot of fellows
standing around handing out litera-

TREATY TO BERLIN
Members of German Peace Delegation
Return for Consultation.


Paris, May S.-Intimations reaching
the peace conference from Versailles
lead to the belief that two or three
members of the German peace delega-
ton will rturn to Germany to consult
their government, the others remain
ing at Versailles.
At Versailles Germany has not yet
submitted any communication with re-
gard to the peace treaty.
All the exchanges between the dele
CATION at Versailles and the home gov
eminent are being kept secret.
A copy of the treaty is well on its
way to Berlin. A German courier left
at 9 o'clock last night bearing it with
Won Brocl:dorff- Rantzaus first report
on the negotiations.
The German delegates worked al
most all night dissecting and analyz-
ing the text of the peace treaty.
