HOYT STORE is ROBBED
Thieves Made Escape in Daylight on
Hand Car With Loot

Hoyt Kan, Dec. 24.-Burglars en-
tered the II. C. Bathurst store here
and worked unmolested while they
stole a quantity of merchandise valued
at nearly $500 Tuesday morning.
Shortly before the robbery was dis
covered two men were seen pumping
a hand-car toward Topeka. The To-
cal railroad agent had given no one
permission to use the car and it is
thought the thieves utilized that
means of escape. Fifteen pairs of
shoes, two bolts of silk, two overcoats
some jewelry, and a number of other
articles were taken.
The burglars entered the store thru
the main door which was reinforced
with Yale lock. A skeleton key was
used to unfasten the ordinary lock,
and the Yale lock was cut out of the
door with knife

Government Finding Employ
ment for All Disabled Men

In his work throughout the country
in behalf of discharged service men,,
Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant to
the Secretary of War in charge of
finding enjoyment for demobilized
soldiers, sailors and marines, has
learncG that in many sections people
generally do not know just what the
Government is doing to enable men
disabled in the line of duty to re-
establish themselves in civil life.
Inasmuch as the Government took
these men out of civil life and placed
them in camps and in the trenches
where their disabilities were incurred,
the obligation upon the Government
to re-establish them in civil life is
clear. And it should be understood
that those injured in France are not
the only ones entitled to assistance.
for all disabled service men, whether
injured in the United States or
abroad, are provided for equally.
For re-establishing the disabled in
civil life, the authorized agency OF
the Government is the Federal Board
for Vocational Education, which is
charged by Congress with the "vo-
cational training of disabled soldiers
and the placement of rehabilitated
persons in suitable and gainful occu-
pations," after their discharge from
the Army.
The Government, it will be noted,
not only trains the disabled man, thus
enabling him to assume again with
unimpaired efficiency, the response
bilities of civil life, but also assists
him in securing employment at the
end of his period of training.
In some large cities crippled men in
uniform are seen on the street engag-
ed in "panhandling" kindly disposed
persons. 1t has been found that
in nearly every case these men were
just plain ordinary fakirs in the
guise of soldiers, who took this meth
Cd of enlisting unmerited sympathy
from the public. There is no excuse
for these fakirs. No man disabled
In the service need engage in any
sort of holdup game. on the streets
nor need he engage in any occupation
whatever which, is not becorning to
him. Anyone seeing men in uniform
SO engaged should inform them of
provision made for ttleir training and
placement by the Government. If any
man after being informed what his
opportunities are continues his game,
a favor will be done the great body
of self-respecting disabled men who
are trying to make something of
themselves, if every case of this
character is reported to the nearest
branch office of the Federal Board

PLEADS AGAINST
HASTY ACTION
Senator Knox Opens Debate on
Resolution Dividing Cow
enant and Treaty.
FRAMING new PLANS
Opponents of League of Nations Are
Considering Proposal to Intro
duce Joint Resolution DecIar-
ing War at an End.

Washington, June 18.-Leaders in
congress are considering joint resolu-
tion by which congress shall declare
the war at an end and thus relieve
itself of blame for prolongation of war
conditions while the treaty is being
discussed
Announcement that Germany must
act finally on the peace terms by June
%, diminished hopes of bringing the
Knox resolution for separating the
league of nations covenant from the
treaty to vote before the treaty is
signed.
The result was series of confer
ences among league opponents who
had planned to try for a roll call to
warn the peace delegates what oppo-
sition that league would encounter if
submitted here intertwined with the
treaty. Although no definite course
had been agreed upon, it is likely
there will be an effort to have test
vote on some collateral issue Friday
or Saturday.
1t is not considered likely that there
will be an effort to bring the Knox
measure technically before the senate
until Friday, when Chairman Lodge of
the foreign relations committee re-
turns to the capitol.
Knox Pleads Against Haste.
Senator Knox opened debate on his
resolution with plea against hasty
acceptance of the league of nations
He cautioned that it's ratification
would mean departure from Ameri-
can traditions.
The league, he declared, would in
.evitably result in super-government
empowered to act even upon the do
nestle affairs of member nations and
to preserve for all time the territorial
boundaries to be fixed by the peace
treaty. He asserted the new Monroe
Doctrine provision would efface that
policy from international affairs and
argued that the amendment adopted
to cover withdrawal of league mem
bers would make such withdrawal
absolutely impossible
The speech, which held closer at
stention than any previous utterance
Of the treaty controversy marked the
beginning of debate on Mr. Knox's
resolution, declaring the peace terms
should be ratified without delay and
the league of nations proposal left
for late consideration.
II ask for time said the senator,
merely to consider whether or not,
under the covenant as drawn, the
power to put us at war will still rest
with us or be placed in body out
side our own government and if placed
outside, whether or not such lodging
of the sovereign power is desirable"

Forthcoming from the Federal Board.
Men who have been blinded in battle
or who have lost both arms or both
legs, or who as result of injuries
incurred are permanently and totally
disabled, it may be noted, come under
special provision which allows them
500 per month additional.
Many crippled soldiers were dis
charged without being informed of the
provisions made for them through the
agency of the Federal Board, because
they were released from Service be-
fore the machinery for reaching them
was in effect. Any person coming in
contact with such disabled men will
be doing a patriotic duty by directing
them either to write to the Federal
Board at Washington or to one of
the Boards fourteen branch Offices,
or, better yet, to appear in person at
one of these offices if they can.
1t is very important that the dis
abled man shall be made to realize
fully the advantage of taking train
ing to insure his future welfare. At
the present time there are many pa
triotic employers of labor who are
willing to take on disabled men wheth-
er they are really capable Of perform
ing their duties or not. But don't
forget that in a few years the work
of the really efficient man will tell
and he will be the one who will get
ahead.
For this reason the Federal Board
is doing everything in its power to
train and equip the disabled man i'm
mediately upon his discharge, so that
he will be a thoroughly competent
man in whatever line he elects to fol-
low.
In the event courses commenced
prove for any reason unsatisfactory
or not suited for the particular dis
ability of the person undergoing
training, another course will be offer
ed, for the work of the Government
never ceases until the disabled man
is permanently placed in a suitable
md remunerative position.
1t should also be understood by al
men who have lost limb in the
service in the line of duty, that it is
he duty of the Government, through
the agencies of the War Department
and the War Risk Insurance Bureau
to supply them with artificial limbs
and appliances. When man is dis
charged from the hospital he is given
a limb which is a temporary affair
only, and later on he is furnished with
permanent frst-class artificial limb.
To make this provision is not a
charity but an obligation on the part
Of the Government toward this class
of disabled.
