''SCRAP OF PAPER"
That Is Way Berlin VOrwaerts
Describes Treaty.
Pressure Renders Signature
Worthless, 1t Says.

Berlin, June 25.-The Berlin Vor-
waerts, Majority Socialist organ. to-
day described the peace treaty as "a
scrap of paper"
Extortionate pressure renders sig
nature of the peace treaty worthless"
said the Vorwaerts. We must never
forget it is only a scrap of paper.
Treaties based on violence can keep
their validity only so long as force
exists. Do not lose hope. The resur-
rection day comes"
The Prussische Kreuse. Zeitung in
an editorial headed ''Finis Ger
maniac" declared that at is our duty
not to permit the Prussian spirit to
be crushed"
The Taglische Rundschau blamed
Scheidemann and Erzberger for the
disaster"
The National Volks party has an
nounced the sharpest opposition to
the new Bauer government.
General Won Lutwitz has appealed
to officers and soldiers to continue

Several minor food riots occurred in
Berlin yesterday and last night, and
it was feared they might grow in
scope and violence today. A strike
involving postal, telegraph and tele-
phone employees seemed certain.

HARD ON ROYALTY
Ex-King Constantine of Greece
"Broker in, Switzerland.
Other Rulers Are "Hard Up"
in Exile.

Paris, June 25.-Former King Con-
stantine of Greece. who has been iliv-
ing in Switzerland, is in financial diff
ficulties, according to advices from
Geneva to Paris newspapers. Former
Emperor William had been supplying
the former Greek ruler with funds, but
this subsidy has been cut Off 1t is
added that Constantine is endeavoring
to become reconciled with the present
Greek government.
Former King Constantine has been
in financial straits for some time. A
year ago a dispatch to the Temps Of
Paris said he was financially embar-
raised and was counting upon the
marriage of his brother. Prince Chris

Germany. Since the German revolu-

! been greatly reduced. if not wiped out

| Greece, Constantine received 100000
yearly.
Switzerland also harbors several
other former rulers whose incomes
have been greatly reduced. Among
them is former King Ludwig of Ba-
varia. The annual Bavarian income
of the royal family formerly was
about $1,250.000
The former emperor of Austria
Hungary is another of the royal exiles
in Switzerland whose income has de-
creased. AS emperor.king, Charles
formerly had civil list OF more than
$4,000, 900 annually.

had A BIC MONTH
Police Judge Took in $635.3O
During Month of May.
Most of Crimes Committed
Were of Minor Nature.

During the month of May $635.s0
worth of crime, disturbance of the
peace, drunkenness, speeding and
other violations of the city ordinances
occurred in Topeka, according to the
report of Hugh MacFarland, police
judge. 1t must have been a month of
joyous revelry for petty law breakers
who went out and busted up laws with
the recklessness of a small boy trying
to spend a nickel without leaving it
all in one place.
Many of the law-breakers were first
offenders. However, the "old guard"
composed of persons who get en- the
police docket with almost the same
regularity that some other persons get
their names in the society column, was
well represented.
Average Cost Five Dollars.
The ge expense connected with
the privilege of kicking a few clauses
out of ordinance intended for the pro-
lection of the innocent public that
must not be disturbed in its placid
routine of not disturbing others was
about five dollars. Judging from ii =
number of five dollar fines consider
able premium must be placed upon the
right to sort of casually break a Law
now and then.
No "crimes" of any considerable
proficiency of technique were listed
Had there been a murder or two, the
thirty cents might have been increased
to thirty-six cents.
Still $e3530 is a fairly sizabl,
months receipts. The amount is on,
of the largest that has been reported
in a good many months.
