do it," said Ephraim. "They told me
to go ahead, that they didn't want to
go to a rabbi, so I did. was afraid

GOLD CHEvRONS ON cAPTIvES
Prisoners of War in 5rest Area
Think They Are Entitled to
Service CheVron.

With the American Army in France.
The immense amount of work in
constructing roads, building barracks,
unloading and relOading the vast tom
mage Of supplies for the American
army gave several prisoners of war in
the Brest area the idea that they were
worthy of recognition in the service
OF the A. E. f., and accordingly they
having finished six months of good
hard work, these boches concluded
that they were eligible to wear a gold
service chevron.
Ihey blossomed forth one day with
a bright gold chevron glittering on the
lower part of the left sleeve. 1t was
wholly out Of harmony with their gen.
eral appearance, according to the
sharp vision Of the military police who
had charge of their surveillance.
The IN. P" could not understand
this hybrid establishment, coupled
with the large letters "P. w." signi-
flying prisoner of war;" on their
backs. Fulfilling his duty, he inquired
the purpose of this unauthorized
dazzle on the left sleeve. The boche
explained his utilization in the Ameri-
can army, but that did not satisfy the
m. P" Off came the chevrons with
one strong rip.

Mother Wants Soldier
Hero All to Herself.

Gary, Ind. - Not even the
pomp and glory of the whole
town of Gary's turning out to
do her thrice wounded son hon
or on his return from French

Kate Petkey of Indiana Harbor
. to lose him for one second.
Despite the appeals of the
mayor, the chief of police and
all the dignitaries of the town,
where Walter Petkey was for
merly a policeman, Mrs. Petkey
clasped her stalwart son to her
bosom, pushed him into a wait
ing taxicab and whisked him
y away home. A big celebration
had been planned and the entire
personnel of the police Depart
ment waited outside the station
to be led in the parade by their
former coAnrade.
Another soldier son, Steve,
was waiting at the Petkey home,

Dor, and a third son is in a base
hospital recovering from wounds
received in France.

TO TALK FOR A LEAGUE
3 200 Delegates at Two-Day Session in
New York Today.

New York, Feb. with more than
5000 delegates registered the Atlantic
congress for a league of nations, began
a two-day session here today. The
congress is under the auspices of the
league to enforce peace, and it's state
branches in New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia. It is the
first of series of nine congresses to
be held this month thruout the coun-
try. To assure the formation of a
strong league of nations and the
acceptance of such league by the
United States senate it was announced
that plans will be outlined at these
congresses for an intensive campaign
reaching every city and town in the
country.
Ex-President William H. Taft, as
president of the league to enforce
peace, called the congress to order
and delivered the keynote address.
Other speakers were Norman Hap
good, president of the league of free
nations association, and Stephen S.
Wise, rabbi of the free synagogue, New
York.

SPORT NOTES
WILLARD is CONFIDENT
Believes He Can Beat Dempsey or Any
Other Man Put Up.

New York. Feb. 5.-Jess Willard is
confident that he can defeat Jack
Dempsey or any other man in a bout
of any length and under practically
any conditions
That is the word brought back here
by Tex Richard, the promoter, who
has eclipSed his own records in sign
ing Dempsey and Willard to battle for
the championship. He made the state
ment as he sat waiting for Kearns to
fill an engagement that resulted in
kearns agreeing to sign for Dempsey
when guaranteed $27,500 and a third
of the motion picture privileges.
Richard, however, added that Will
lard is quite aware that he is not GO
ing to box Moran and has started the
most serious training since he met and
defeated Jack Johnson in Havana
According to the promoter, Willard
began looking for couple of big
huskies to take back to Kansas to help
him get into condition. A few weeks
of gymnasium work, Richard said, will
be followed by two weeks at Hot
Springs and trip to the mountains
Then the more serious work of condi-
tioning will begin.
Richard is still greatly in doubt as
to the probable scene of the bout next
July 4. He would like to stage it in
New York if the boxing bill now be-
fore the legislature passes, but realizes
! that the public does not desire to see
merely a ten-round affair between
the big fellows. He wants to send
them over twenty rounds if possible
He leans very strongly to the west and
Is believed to have his eye on Colo

he one of the principal speakers and
will undertake to show why such a
measure should not be passed.
The opponents of the bill state that
it is impracticable, that it will cause
a breach between the state and ma
tional banks and that if a state reserve
bank should be established it would
so tie up the money of the state that
in times of panics Kansas would be
unable to get aid from outside sources
as she has done in the past when her
state banks had reserve deposits in
the large eastern cities. All of these
arguments are expected to be brought
out tonight.
Every Banker Invited.
Senator Charles L. Snyder of Leav-
enworth, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on banks and banking, was I'M
able ito state today who would attend
the meeting tonight but said that ev-
cry banker in the state was invited as
well as every member of the senate
and house of representatives.
1t has been asserted by friends of
the bill that the senate committee is
so evenly divided it will report it out
to the senate without recommends
tionS and that this will practically
have the effect of killing it. When
asked today if he thought the commit
tee would do this Senator Bergen said:
Il believe such action would be very
unfair to the bill and l certainly hope
the committee will make some kind of
recommendation when it makes it's re-
port

SHORT BUT EFFECTIVE
British Will Not Mince Matters in In
quiry of q. S. Packers.

London, Feb. 5.-According to plans
today. the inquiry into the activities
of the American meat packers in this
country will be short but effective.
1t is not proposed to attempt to call
any of the American packers or their
representatives as witnesses unless
they voluntarily offer to testify.
The investigating committee will be
formed of representatives from the
board of trade and the food and agri-
cultural ministries. Their investiga-
ton, a high official of the board of
agriculture told the United Press, viii
be informal. They review in a broad
way certain statistics as to meat prices
in Great Britain. Few witnesses are
expected to be called. A short cut to
adjournment will be taken by the
probable adoption of the report of
the American federal trade commits
sion. The American packers will be
given an opportunity. if they wish it,
to "read in corrections of the Ameri-
can commissions report. but this will
not mean the committee will accept
the correction Findings will be
submitted to departmental heads who
will formally submit a joint report
with recommendations as. to what
action is advisable to parliament.

LACK EDUCATION
DR.. Jardine, New X. S. A. c.
Head, Says e. s. Is Slow.
Urges Every Step Possible for a
Greater Education.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 5.-Educa-
ton in the United States is insult
ficient. Ultimately, the education
which is necessary is world education,
declared DIR. W. NJ. Jardine in out
lining the program to be followed at
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
in his inaugural address, after being
formally installed as president of the
institution at the college auditorium
Tuesday afternoon. Doctor Jardine
is the seventh president of the college,
and takes the place made vacant by
DIR. H. J. Waters, who resigned to
accept a position as editor of the
Weekly Kansas City Star.
1.-The evolution of the new educa-
ton, in which industry is to be safely
| utilized at its full value fand in which
the spirit of American citizenship is
| to be instiIled into the child, forms one
of the great tasks of the readjustment
period and the future" declared Presi-
dent Jardine. Every step possible
must be taken to insure that education
be disseminated over the entire world,
and that it be democratic education
land not education designed to develop
efficiency at the expense of initiative
or acQuisitiyeness at the expense of
I justice. Peoples of varying tempera-
ment, ideals and other racial charac-
teriSticS must by education be led to
an understanding of each other. In
education will do more than any other
one thing to make wars impossible.
Any league of nations which is estab-
lished may wisely have somewhere in
it's organization a commission on .edu-
cation to suggest to the constituent
nations large general plans which
would lead toward the fulfillment of
the ideals which all right thinking ma
tions seek.
1--WE can not have world curriculum,
but we can have world ideals toward
which education in all countries may
strive"
DR.. Raymond A. Pearson, president
of the Iowa State College, who was
the speaker at this mornings inaugu-
raj exercises, told of the development
of the agricultural colleges, and of the
difficulties they were forced to over
come and with which they have now
to. struggle.
The land grant institutions have a
great work before them during the re-
construction period, but they will come
out the vfctors, the speaker declared.

SEES BIG BREAD DROP
w. L. Brown Says Wheat To Sell This
Year for S1.1O a BusheI.

A decline in the price of bread is
due as soon as the 1918 wheat crop
is exhausted, according to W. L.
Brown, of Kingman, who arrived in
Topeka from Washington, D. c., Tues
day. He is a member of the agricuI-
tura1 advisory board and was speaker
of the Kansas house of representatives
in 1913.
Brown says that. with the govern
ment restrictions removed he expects
to see wheat sell for S1.10 a bushel in
Chicago, the government seeing that
the guaranteed price of $226 is paid
the wheat growers. Brown says he
can make no such cheerful prophecy
regarding the price of meat, however.

banking committee which has the bill
under consideration will hold a public

Indications are that the meeting will

the measure.
All the members of the senate bank
ing committee will be present and
Senator F. G.. Bergen, author of the
bill, will undoubtedly explain its pur-
poses and the evils it will be expected
to remedy. Friends of the measure
are not expected to make any attempt
to pack the house." as it is under
stood they feel no good could come
from a public debate over the merits
of the bill, and they prefer to present
their side after the opposition has had
its hearing.
In discussing his bill today. Senator
Bergen said:
1.-THE fight over this measure has
become so hot that do not see where
any benefits can come from a public
discussion that would amount to a de-
bate, and really / cannot see where a
great deal of good will come from the
meeting to be held tonight. How
ever, if it is possible. I want to see
the opposition convinced that this is
absolutely an honest measure and that
there is not one thing about it that
has a dishonest purpose or that is in
tended to hurt or injure any one. A
number bf false reports have been cir
culated about it, and if there is any
way to do so, want to see these re-
ports corrected
