8 SMALLPOX CASES
Topsknns Arc Urs;ed To Take Adsan-
tager of Free Vaccinations.

- Absorbing to Dr.. Earl G. Brown,
city health officer, there have been
eight cases Of smallpox reported in
Topeka since May, 20. This is con-
si6ered an unusually large number of
cases considering the duration of time
over which the period extends. An
other case was reported today. One
recent case had smallpox for several
days before it was so diagnosed and
reported to the health department.
The patient was broken out with what
she believed to be only pinples.
This case will no doubt lead to the in

 MEN OVERSEAS

New York. Mar. 2S.-Relief work of the 1000 Knights of Columbus war workers now overseas with the Amer ican Expsditionary Forces has been reOrganized to meet the new condi- tions surrounding the men upon the cessation of hostilittes and the occu- patton of Germany.
 This was announced by William J. Afulligan, chairman of the Knights of Columbus war activities committee, upon his return after a four months
 stay in France, Belgium, Germany and England. The Knights of Co., Iuubus had 700 workers overseas s when the armistice was signed. Since that time 800 additional workers have arrived in France.
 The entire work has been reorgan- ized into g. system of zones. Each
 zone has a supervisor, and under him
 there are squads of secretaries, mum
 bering from 50 to 100. More than 200
 K. of c. men are in Germany with
 the army of occupation.
 While in Europe Mir. Mulngar opened up fifty new k. of c. places
 Tn an interview with General Persh- Ing NIT. MullIgan learned that the
 General was thoroughly satisfied with l tions. General Pershing stressed the value of athletics for the men, MT. Mulligan said:
 "In my judgment our forces overseas will not fully leave Flu rope for another twelve months. When left Paris the i'm pression was that the peace treaty would be whipped into shape for sigma ture by the middle of May. But our soldiers will necessarily be detained until they can be return ed in comfort
 ''Au the relief organizations have made their plans with the period in view, and the Knights i of Columbus are now working l more intensely than ever before, I and will maintain their work at i this intensity at least six months 1 The question of free comforts wa i of great interest to the men overseas said MT. MulIigan. At 8 public gath i ering in Paris he told a crowd O 1 $500 soldiers that the boys had pail ] once. through their relatives, for thu i goods distributed, and the K. of C l would never ask the soldiers to pa, 1 a second time for them.

V0N BERNSTORFF PRAISES
 COL. HOUSE IN "OBITUARy"

could nearer approach this wise and interesting man. We did not reach intimate relations until his first trip to Berlin. At that time 1t was already the sincere wish of Colonel House to procure for his great friend the high est fame of peace arbiter. Later, at the time of the peace move of MT. Wilson-in the winter of 1916I17- he was his right hand. and conducted negotiations with me. It remains for the future to throw clear light over the negotiations which took place then. Today I wish to point only to the Presidents peace without vic tory programme of the winter of 1916-'1T.
 By his personality. Mir House was peculiarly fitted to be the cham pion of this idea. have never known more sincere and honest pacifst than he. He abhorred war because it was in contradiction to his ideals of a noble humanity. He frequently spoke with indignation about men who enriched themselves through the war, and added that he would never touch the stocks of war industries
 He repeatedly told me that he was just as emphatic at London against the lawless blockade as he was at Berlin against unrestricted submarine warfare. Both methods of carrying on war antagonized the nu- mane and cOmpassionate heart of MT House. He could not conceive why women and children should die either through drowning or through starva- ton that tie objects of imperiaustlc policies, which he condemned, should be achieved.
 Tn addition to this. he was con vinced that neither method would de.
 eide the war. but only create limit. less bitterness between the warriDz
 parties, which would be in the way
 of the coming work for the peace Of the furr-o. Many of Colone Houses opinions expressed at tha time tand as a. German I am sorry for thts) were proved to have bee1 correct As we now see the war wa&
 in effect, decided through America entrance and the consequence of pre- ponderance of material and men. co There are many noble men 1 whose minds have been poisoned throush psychological effect of tn
 war. T. however, cannot imagine tha Colonel House in the last months O | his life could have thought different ly than before. His judgment wa too matter of fact and unimpassion ed. We may say that even now h would have been t2e chief champion of the idea of nations. Tn the de ! ceased. the good cause of recosnciiia ton of peoples Is losing one of it ! sincerest champions. I am deepl, | grieved that can never again se' this friend, and that he could not liv 1 to see his ideals reaIized.'''

Protests Against
DIVERSION THIS MONEY

Percy Thomas, International De-
putty Vice-President of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union, declared
last night that a resolution would
be introduced at the Atlantic City
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor asking the nearly A.
100000 members of organized labor
to protest against any of their in
come tax payments being diverted
by the government to the Western

due to start nationally tomorrow
morning at a. m.
'.The resolution which will be
offered at the American Federation
of Labor meeting in session at
Atlantic City," said Mr.. Thomas,
will in effect, call upon all union
men to pay an income tax or othef
Federal tax to file with their pay
ments a written protest against the
diversion of any of their money to
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany.
"Under the present plan between
the wire companies and the Govern
ment every union man who pays
Federal tax does so with the certain
ty that the money he tolls for will
be used to make good any losses
the Western Union suffered in this
strike and to crush the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union of America, a
member of the American Federation
of Labor, and, basicly, to strike a
organize"
Mr.. Thomas predicted that the
resolution would go through, and
that, pending the passage of it,,
millions of small pledge slips would
be sent broadcast through the coun-
try. These will be distributed at
soda fountains, stores, clubs, and
central localities in cities and towns,
and the general public will be asked
to sign them as protest against the
use of moneys collected by taxation
for what the labor leaders regard
as an attempt to stamp out unionism
with Government aid.
Other big developments locally in
the threatened strike were an an
nouncement by Joseph P. Hayes,
President of the Association of
Western Union Employees, that the
Corporation had decided to distri-
butte s1,oO0,OOO in back payments

ALLIES ANSWER
The GERMANS
WE LEAD IN HEALTH WORK

A number of our people have call
ed our attention to the address of
DR.. Crane at the Chautauqua last
night in which he not only omitted
the fact that Wilson county has
health officer and one of the best
anywhere in the country and two
county nurses and two inspectors,
ganizations engaged in welfare and
community improvement should have
stated that Wilson needed a COM
munity nurse and probably a health
officer"
1t is quite evident that an apology
is due DR.. Smith and his splendid
corps of able assistants, because Will
son county is one of the foremost in
the South in the matter of health
work and the Times is very proud of
the work done here.
This county is responsible largely
for the fact that ten counties in
North Carolina have been made the
nucleus for health and sanitation ac-
tivities. Wilson county was the
first in the state to connect with the
Rockefeller Foundation movement,
and this brought DR.. Washburn to
this county, and the result of the
work in this county brought it to the
attention of other states in the south
which adopted the course and scope
of the work in vogue here.
DIR. Washburn went from Wilson
to Raleigh, and is organizing the
state under the state board of Health.
We have had successfully DR.. Bras
we'll, and others in charge, and at
present DR.. Smith is our superinten-
dent.
Who ever informed DR.. Crane
should get his facts straight and give
Wilson all that is coming to her, and
we also take great pleasure in plac7
ing Dr. Crane right. :~~

Paris, France, June 11.-The7re-

treaty itself is changed but very
little. 1t does not state specific sum
for reparation, but does specify that
the manner of discharge of the var
ious amounts for reparation will be
made on a workable basis and with
the least hardship to Germany.
