Demands of Hot TOpekans
Keeping Them on Jump.
No Shortage Is Expected, How
ever, by Billiard.
HELP is HARD TO GET NOW
Wagon Men Working Long
Hours To Cover Runs.
Relief Expected as Soon as
Harvest Is Over.

Altho the excessively hot weather
has increased the demand for ice,
there is no doubt that Topeka pro-
ducers are going to be able to produce
and deliver the supply demanded.
The wheels of the machinery of
production are going as fast as it is
possible to turn them" said Robert
morning. There is no danger of a
shortage as far as l know now. we
are having trouble, however, as they
are in other lines of business in secur-
ing sufficient help"
Labor conditions while better than
they were last summer, are not yet in
a condition where labor is plentiful.
Other pr 'ucers complain of the
scarcity of help. At present large
numbers of men are in the harvest
fields attracted hy the high wages be-
ing paid
Billiard could give no figures on pro-
saying that they had been so busy
manufacturing ice and delivering that
they had not had time to check up the
figures of the last month. Demand,
while heavy, has not been abnormal,
but has been the usual summer run.
The labor shortage has been felt in
the production end and on the delivery
side of the business. The company
has not been able to obtain enough
drivers. Wagon men are being well
paid. Owing to the shortage of men
usual and the wagons do not get in
from their runs until later than usual.
No acute trouble is anticipated, how
ever. 1t is expected that with the
completion of the harvest the supply
of labor will be increased

gates were swung shut and opened
only for the elect who could show
proper credentials.
Congressman flocked from the
house. which recessed until after the
presidents speech, and crowded into
the senate chamber.
Telephones in senator's offices were

many, He Declares.
U.S.TO AID IN RECONSTRUCTION
Wilson Asserts America Must
Take Leading Part.
Germany Has Enough Men and
Arms To Fight.

Washington, July 10. President
Wilson, comforting with newspaper
correspondents at the White House to-
day, indicated that he was extremely
gratified that the treaty of peace had
been ratified so promptly by the Ger
man national assembly.
The president also indicated he felt
trade relations between Germany and
the associated nations should be re-
sumed at the earliest moment possible
for without trade Germany could not
meet the reparattOnS demanded of her.
1t was made clear the president
felt troops should be maintained in
Germany until the Germans had COM
piled with all the military terms of
the treaty. 1t was pointed out there
were several million veteran soldiers
in Germany and munitions sufficient
for them to operate.
The Germans have from one to four
months in which to deliver all ma
terial except that sufficient for the
reduced German army provided for
in the peace treaty and the president
believes American troops should stay
on the Rhine until the material is de-
livered.
Discussing the peace negotiations at
Paris, President Wilson let it be
known that the league of nations
t1ated at Versailles, including that with
Bulgaria with which country the
United States never was at war.
Italy Not After Fiume.
In responce to question regarding
the Fiume situation, the president
pointed out that the treaty of London
| provided that Fiume was to go tc
croatia and that Italy did not lay
| claim to the city when that treaty
was signed.
The president made it clear that de.
| mobilization of the American army
would depend upon the speed with
which the military conditions of the
! peace treaty were execr-nd by Ger.
many and the treaty was ratified by
the various governments.
| Mr. Wilson feels that the United
! States must play a generous part ir
| the reconstruction of Europe, but h,
believes this should be accomplished
! by establishing some sound basis o.
credit rather than by direct govern
ment aid
