EFFECT OF ARMY LIFE
Topeka Soldier, Chased by officers, in
Nervous Disorder, Father Says.

Topeka Soldier, Chased by Officers, in
Nervous Disorder, Father Says.
Fearing that the army life had left
his son with trace of melancholia or
other nervous mental disorder, the
father of Arthur King, who lives near
Twelfth and Fillmore streets, visited
the office of the county sheriff ask
ing assistance in locating his son.
The boy has been queer ever since
he came home and has done things
that have alarmed his parents. A love
affair with a girl in the neighborhood
probably did a great deal to arouse in
terest in his condition, the father said.
Tuesday an officer. from the county
office went with the father to find
the lad. They found him on a street
corner near his home leaning up
asainst a tree. The officer asked the
boy to go for ride. But he declined
to go driving with tine old man." The
officer made a grab for him and got
one arm. The boy chung on to the
tree-got loose and started west. He
was chased around the neighborhood
and finally ducked into the colored
church at King and Buchanan streets
But they could not find him. Bob
Miller came out to assist in the search
Finally pile of covers under a table
was seen to move and the boy was
found. He was not inclined to be
violent at all but objected to being
controlled.

hz15q.Sez She

The other day l was a talkin' on the
street to a woman, who went on about
the disgraceful kind OF clothes that
was being wore on the street; that it
was simply awful the way them store
clerks dressed, them parading up and
down the streets wearin' dresses most
to their knees and silk stockings and
pumps with high heels, and them thin
GeOrgette waists that a body could see
thru. and all that sort of thing
It's a. right amazing thing to me
how all them clerks in the stores come
to be out parading around the streets
at all hours of the day. Seems as if
they'd have enough to keep 'em busy,
waiting on the women that has got
nothing else to do but shop, stead
of prancing up and down the avenue
in their fine clothes. And seems as if
their bosses would try to find some
busy enough, without letting them
waste their time that way. Anyway,
that's the prerogative of the idle rich,
and shouldn't no clerks in stores try
to take it away from them.
I've noticed them short-skirted,
high-heeled, silk-stockinged women
on the street, just a walkin' up and
down. the eyes of all beholders, so
to speak. But somehow. 1 allus
thought they was the wives and
daughters of men that didn't have
off SOS their female women could buy
a lot of shoes and clothes to wear on
the avenue. 1 didn't know till this
yere women was scolding to me about
them clerks, that it was the clerks
in the stores on display stead of bein'
behind the counters where I allus sup
posed they was. MA JIMKINS.

 WARNING NOT TO HELP S|NN FEN
Ulster Leader Has Hard Words for American Mis- sion-It Stirred Up Trou- ble-Irish Republic, He Says, Backed by Church and Germans

BELFAST, Ireland, July 12.-The twelfth of July celebrations were car ried out today in Ulster on a large scale. Sir Edward Carson, the Irish unionist leader, speaking at the Orange demonstration at Hollywood, Belfast, said
 There is a campaign going on in America foistered by the Catholic church which will soon be joined by the Germans, and their funds, in order to create a great anti-British feeling.
 Heaven knows I want good reeling between America and this country. 1 believe the whole future of the world probably depends upon the relations between the United States of America and ourselves, but I am not going to submit to- this kind of a campaign, whether for friendship or for any other purpose.
 T seriously say to America today you attend to your own affairs; we will attend to ours. You look after your own questions at home; we will look after ours. We will brook no in reference in our own affairs by any country, however powerful. It is not for that we waged the great war of
 
 cluded. What right had an American mission to come to this country-come here in a breach of hospitality of one nation towards another-to attempt to stir up strife in matters in which they were not connected?
 The encouragement those men gave the Sim Fein has created for the Brit iSh government far more difficulties than ever before. 1 believe that the visit of these men and the encourage ment they gave to lawlessness, which is being preached throughout the land. has added greatly to the campaign of assassination of innocent policemen who were only doing their duty to their king and country and who were foully murdered on the roadside, with men looking on, who had not the courage to arrest the assassins or give such information as would bring them to justice"
 Sir Edward Carson denounced Sir Horace Plunkett, who, he said, was elected chairman of the Irish conven- tion because he was thoroughly hated and distrusted by both sides" and" added the speaker, "a nice mess he made of it.''

MOVE TO BLOCK TIE
 TREATY ENDORSEMENT

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Plans for preventing unreserved ratification of the peace treaty were discussed today at conferences of senate opponents of the league of nations, but it was said no decision was reached on the ques- tion whether President Wilson should be invited before the foreign relations committee when it takes up the treaty monday.
 The subject of the presidents ap- pearance will be taken up tomorrow when it is said opposition members of the committee will endeavor to agree on united action. Some of them are understood to favor inviting the presi- dent to sit with the committee daily, while others oppose it on the ground that the treaty now is out of his hands and the senate alone is responsible.
 Mir Wilson's supporters were pri- vately predicting tonight that the first motion to be passed at Mondays meet ing of the committee would be one in vitins him to be present at subsequent sessions.
