GERMANS VIOLATE
ARN|ST|CE TERMS
Huns Burn French Flags Cap
tured in War of 1870.
FOE TREACHERY is FEARED
Sinking of Fleet Is Cited-Press Tell
Allies to Be on Guard Even After
the Peace Terms Are Signed
by Enemy.

Paris, June 25.-Word of the burn
Ing of certain French battle flags by
the Germans has been received here.
Peace conference opinion is apparently
unanimous that this is a distinct vio-
lat1on of the peace treaty, iDasmuch
as that document stipulated that the
flags should be returned to France by
Germany. 1t is probable that COM
mission will be appointed to consider
taking action in the matter.
Presumably the foregoing refers to
French battle flags taken by the Ger
mans in the war of 1S70-71. Article
245 of the peace treaty, in the original
draft. stipulated that within six
months after the treaty should take
effect Germany must restore to France
the trophies, works of art, ETC., carried
from France by the Germans in the
Franco-Prussian war, particularly
the French flags"
To Punish Germans.
The council of three, after discuss
ing the sinking of the German fleet at
Scapa Flow and considering measures
IL
lated, has referred questions relative
to the sinking of the war vessels to a
commission OF experts which will de-
termine whether or not the armiStice
conditions were disregarded.
German Admiral to Be Tried.
London, June 25.-Admiral Won
Reuter-, in command of the German
fleet scuttled and sunk in the Scapa
Flow, will be court-martialed for hav-
ing broken the armistice conditions,
says the Daily Mail.
The newspaper adds that the details
of the trial of the admiral will be ar
ranged by the allied council in Paris.
The German admiralty denies the
rumOr in circulation in Paris and else
where that the Germans have sunk the
remainder of their warships in German
harbors.
Warns of Hun Treachery.
Profound distrust of Germany is the
predominant note in London press
comments on the German govern
ment's decision to sign the treaty of
peace.
The Germans proved themselves
treacherous throughout the war, the
latest instance being the sinking of
their interned fleet i'll Scapa Flow.
Therefore it is contended it would be
premature to celebrate peace until
the treaty is actually signed. Even
afterward, it is said, the allies must
be continually on guard until the last
penalty is paid.
Foe Officers Appeal to Dutch.
The German Officers association
has asked the Dutch government not
to deliver the former German emperor
to the allies. In telegram officers
of the association said: 1--WE can
protect the kaiser with our bodies, but
we rely upon the generosity of the
Dutch people"
The announcement of the agree
ment to sign the peace terms resulted
in patriotic demonstrations throughout
Germany, Copenhagen reports.
In Berlin, Munich and other large
cities professions formed and marched
along the principal streets, the partici-
pants singing war songs and cheering
the generals of the old empire.

Paris, Dec. 9Th The Allies have con
sented to modify some of the terms of
the protocol putting the Peace Treaty
into effect, to which Germany has made
no objection. The clause providing for
indemnity for the dest uction OF the Ger
man Fleet at Scapa Flow, has been
modified so as to refer to the Hague
tribunal the question whether the deIiv-
cry Of the tonnage demanded will cripple
Germany, 1T is understood. The u9der-
standing also is that the other features
OF the protocol most Objectionable to the
Germans have been eliminated and the
expectation here, is that the German pie
nip0tentlaries Will sign the protocol with
out much further delay. phe final par
agraph OF the protocol, providing that
even after the Peace Treaty has
gone into effect the Allies might use
military measures Of coercion to en-
sure the execution of the Treaty's
terms, has been eliminated entire
ly, as also has the clause relating
to the evacuation of the Baltic provinces
by German troops. The imputation Of
responsibility TO Germany for the sink
ing of the Scapa Flow Fleet is left ia rde

ton obtainable, the Note to the German

HIS ONLY FRIEND IN THE WORLD

Influenza Brings Death to One,

Whether from the effects of influ-
enza or from grief over the belief that
he had caused the death of his only
friend, Charlie Neeley, a resident at
the Love livery barn, was taken to the
county Jail Wednesday because he was

Out of the largness of his heart,
Jim Love, owner of the Love Livery &

who died a few weeks ago, allowed
Neeley was about so years old. He
had no other friends. He had no
place in the world to go except to Jim
Loves stable. There were times when
Neeley became Ill. Often he was
taken to the poor farm. But always.
as soon as sufficiently recovered, he
ran away and came back to live in the
livery stable-the only home he had
provided by Jim Love, whom he class
flied as his only real friend.
Several weeks ago Neeley became
sick with the influenza. He was at
Loves barn, the only place in the
world that was home to him. His best
friend cared for him for a few days
before he was taken to the hospital.
Then Love was taken sick with the in
fluenza also. Neeley recovered in a
short time. Love never came back.
He died. Now Neeley believes that he
has killed the only one that meant
anything to him.
Jim Love is dead.

tribute as They Should.

Special Delegation of Tease
Artists Formed Here.

Citizens of Topeka must come thru
with their money faster and heavier
if the Salvation Army $4,000 drive is
to be a success without a re-canvass
of the city. This assertion was made
by W. A. Biby, campaign director. to-
day.
Biby says that the reports from the
working teams show that the citizens
are unanimously behind the campaign.
He says that every person is giving
but he says that the amounts given by
each individual are smaller than sin
other campaigns and must be in
creased if the city is to fulfill its OBJ
legations to the organiza ton which fed
doughnuts to the boys in France.
Biby took especial occasion to take
the men who should be big con-
tributors to task. He said that these
men have not done their part as was
expected in this drive, and asserted
that several men of prominence in the
Topeka mercantile world have not con-
tributed a dollar.
1t is promised by the executive
committee in charge of the Salvation
Army campaign that such men shortly
will receive a visit from a special
delegation of artists long experienced
in the ways of extracting money.
