Zurich International Confer
ence Condemns Peace Treaty.
Say 1t Sentences 100000, 200
Central Europeans to Poverty.
WANT PEACE ON IA POINTS
Treaty Sanctions Secret Treaties
and Injustice, They Say.
jeanette Rankin, ex-COngress-
woman, One of u. s. Delegates.

Paris, May 1.-THE financial and
economic terms of the treaty with
Germany condemn one hundred mill
lion people in central Europe Ito pow
erty. disease and despair" according
to the text of the communication sent
to the peace conference by the wom-
ems international Conference for Per-
manent Peace at Zurich
Twenty-Five L. S. Delegates
The United States is declared to
have twenty-five delegates ut the con-
ference at which fifteen countries are
represented
The text of the communication
made public today follows:
This international congress of wo-
men expresses deep regret that the
terms of peace proposed at Versailles
should so seriously violate the prin-
ciples upon which alone a just and
lasting peace can be. secured and
which the democrats of the world had
come to expect. By guaranteeing the
fruits of secret treaties to the COLI
querors, the terms of peace have
tacitly sanctioned secret diplomacy,
denied the people of self-determina-
ton recognized the rights of the vic
tors to the spoils and created all over
EUROPE discords and animosities
which can only lead to future wars.
by demanding disarmament from
one set of belligerents only, the prin-
ciple of justice is violated and the rule
of force is continued. By the finan-
cial and economic proposals one hun
dred million people of this generation
in the heart of Europe are condemned
to poverty. disease and despair which
must result in the spread of hatred
and anarchy within each nation
Want Wilson'S Points.
with a deep sense of responsibility
this congress strongly urges the allied
governments to bring the peace
treaty into harmony with those prin-
ciples first enunciated by President
Wilson upon the faithful carrying ou
of which the honor of the allied PEG
pie depends"
The communication was proposed
by Mrs. Philip Snowden of England
and was seconded by Miss Jeanette
Rankin, former member of the United
States congress from Montana. 1t was
approved unanimously by the confer
ence.

Let OUT WOMEN
Santa Fe Is Putting Men on
Old Jobs in Shops.
Girl Coach Cleaners Are To Be
Kept at Work.

With the exception of two or three
in the passenger department. all the
women employed in the Santa. Fe
shops during the war period have been
released to make room for returning
soldiers, it was stated today by NJ. J.
Drury, superintendent. This does not
include the girls employed in cleaning
coaches at the station.
During the war. while there was a
scarcity of male help, approximately
forty women were employed in the
shops. Drury said he found them to
be as efficient as men in many re-
spects, altho there is some work-par-
ticularly the "heavy"-which they can
not perform. The policy of hiring NO.
men. the superintendent pointed out
was adopted merely as a war measure,
with thev understanding that they
would be released when former en-
ployes who went to war returned.

The above letter written in 1914 by
Mrs. A. C. Wilton to Thomas Hors-
field. a Kansas avenue merchant, is
attached to a suit filed in the court of
Topeka today by Horsfield against
Harry Wilton and Anna c. Wilton.
Horsfield is demanding $119.91 from
the aged couple as final payment on a
promissory note signed by the Wiltons
in 1911 and also on an alleged unpaid
rgrd0ery bill Horsfield puts the plead
ing letter of the old lady into the court
files in effort to prove acknowl-
edgment of the debt.
Five dollars was paid on the note in
1911 and under the present law it
would be outlawed at the end of five
years unless a part payment is made.
Horsfield doesn't claim any more
money was deposited to pay the note
but has added a credit of -s1.50 for
Services in March. 1915, which, he
claims, continues to make the note
valid.
Wilton. has only one ear. The other
hearing member was bitten off by a
bear at Garfield park several years
ago. The bear attacked Wilton as he
was passing the park and with one
bite took off the entire ear. The ami
NAL was chased away by farmers with
pitchforks and was later killed.

GOOD ROADS PLAN
Appraising of Shawnee Property Is
Watched by State.

State wide attention is directed on a
decision soon to be made by Hugh
Fisher, county attorney, as to the
method to be employed by the Shaw
nee county commissioners in apprais-
ing property owners living in benefit
districts of hard surfaced roads. The
commissioners checked the matter up
to the county attorney several weeks
age and today Fisher announced that
before making . decision he would
consult the attorney generals office.
County commissioners turnout
Kansas who have contracted for build
ing hard surfaced roads are facing the
same proposition regarding the ap-
praisements," said Fisher I'm order
to establish Il uniform system l intend
to consult the attorney general so our
methods will be similar to those of
other counties"
The shawnee county commissioners
have plats prepared of benefit districts
for the West Tenth street road as well
as the East Sixth street road. The
statutes merely state that appraise-
ments of the benefit districts shall be
made without stipulating the method
to be employed in appraising.
The county commissioners want to
know if they shall be empowered to
appoint board of appraisers, whether
they shall make the appraisements or
just what should be done
My idea would be for disinterested
persons to appraise the land and de-
eide upon the assessments which
should be levied against the various
property owners for the improve
ments," said A. A. Rodgers. chairman
of the board of commissioners today.
Then if there is any dissatisfaction
over the assessments the board should
sit board of equalization. If we
did the appraising ourselves we would
necessarily be biased and couldn't see
the complaint in the same light we
would should others do the apprais-
