Preparations Being Made for
Big Auditorium Services.
LIEUTENANT NASH TO SPEAK
Hero of Vimy Ridge on Pro.
gram, Baer Announces.
Members Military SisterhOOd
Will Pin on Medals.

More than $50 honor medals will
be pinned on the breasts of as many
Shawnee county soldiers next Thurs
day evening at 1880 o'clock. The first
decoration of the soldiers will be
staged at the auditorium.
In the announcement of the decora-
ton ceremonies today r. R. Baer,
chairman of the joint committee of
the city. county and the Chamber of
Commerce on decorations for Shaw
nee county and Topeka soldiers, de-
clared that every soldier who has reg
istered at Fullerton Brothers store up
to and including today will be decor
ated Thursday evening. This meeting
is the first of a series of such affairs
which will be held-the decoration re-
ceptions continuing until the last of
Shawnee county's nearly $500 men
of the county's appreciation for serv-
ices in the world war.
Lieutenant Nash to Speak.
A special attraction at the first dec
Grafton meeting is to be Lieutenant
Nash. formerly of the Canadian Ex-
peditionary Force. Lieutenant Nash
spent thirty-one months in the
Vimy Ridge, and was a patient in one
of the big British hospitals for nearly
fifteen months.
A military band will furnish the
music for the occasion. The hall will
be in charge of the members of Com
pany H of the Kansas National Guard,
and the members of the Kansas State
Guard will be the invited guests.
To Be Pinned on by Women.
A special plea was issued today to
the relatives of those boys who paid
the supreme sacrifice in the war. This
applies to the relatives of men who
died in the camps as well as to the
relatives of the men killed in action
or dead as a result of wounds.
These relatives are urged to be pres
ent at this first decoration ceremony
where they will be given the Shawnee
county token for the boys who cannot
receive them. This does not apply to
the relatives of boys who are still
overseas. These boys will be decor
ated when they come home. The
committee does not intend that sin
gle soldier from Shawnee county shall
be forgotten in the handing out of this
general decoration.
The medals will be fastened to the
breasts of the soldiers by the women
of the Military Sisterhood.

casioned genuine contempt and criti-
cism. Today's fight may be one of
the crucial tests.
Real trouble, tho. may not stop with
the action of the commission. If the
council seeks to remove the veterans
now on the pay roll there is a joyous
day of trouble ahead. The veterans
of 81 don't intend to give up without
a struggle. And the council doesn't
intend to give up its right to name
appointees. If the civil service COM
mission sits tight. the war will be with
the commission. If the commission
steps aside. the council must reckon
with the veterans if it attempts a
house cleaning.

Strauss began his banking career in
a humble way and worked his way
upward to the position of director
general by unremitting zeal. He was
perhaps the most popular man in
Hungary, being always interested in
charity and doing much for the poor.
He was the founder of a system of
villas for workers which he was ex-
tending when the present regime was
established. Tho his personal tastes
were simple he had great power with
the press, which he exercised in favor
of Germany.

FRANCE HOLDS FIRM
Must Have Adequate PREPARATION From
Germany, Says the Matin.

Germany, Says the Matin.
Paris. April 5.-France cannot yield
on the question of obtaining adequate
reparation from Germany, the Matin
declares in an editorial today dealing
with the peace conference situation
regarding the French claims.
ION all territorial questions a salts
factory agreement is being reached"
said the Matin, but concerning the
PREPARATION question there is still a gap
between what we are offered and what
we justly demand. The French gov
eminent will be unyielding in this mat
ter. 1t cannot sign a treaty which will
mean the bankruptcy of France"
In leading up to this declaration,
the Matin notes that the French,
British and American peoples are still
displaying the same friendly feelings
as Heretofore for one another.
President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George are of the same heart as
regards France" the newspaper con-
tinues.
Nevertheless different viewpoints
exist as to essential matters by rea-
son of the impossibility of making
the vanquished pay their debts with
out imposing sacrifices upon them.
Those who dream of peace by con-
Citation fear that If asked to pay her
debts Germany will protest and cher
ish plans for revenge. France replies
her people will be bankrupt If she
does not obtain her due. The fear
must be not so much the enemy's re-
sentiment but what France will say if
she is driven to ruin"

ERROR IN PRIMARY
BALLOT MAY Be
GROUND FOR CONTEST

shortly after the polls opened this
morning an error in the printing Of
the school board ticket was discovered
which, if there shall be close elec.
tion, might give ground for contest.
On the democratic ticket there are
five candidates for member Of the school
board and the ticket as printed read
"Vote for Four" There are vacancies
in t~o wards, and one members to be
elected at large, or three in ALL
Voters casting their ballots early may
have voted for four, and these tickets
could not be counted, of course 1t is
believed only a few ballots were cast
before the error was discovered.
As soon as Walter Thompson, secre.
tary of the county election board, whose
duty it is to arrange the copy for the
printer, discovered the error, he went
to the several polling places and made
the necessary change on the ticket
