"Junket' Welcome Trip.
No Laborers on Committee To
Meet Kansas Soldiers.

Luxurious Trip Only for Politi-
cal 'sPets" and Press Agents.
C. of C. Also Criticised by To-
peka Labor Leader.

Organized labor leaders are not the
least bit happy. They have made sew
eral careful studies of the list of dele
gates to receive returning soldiers in
New York. Up to this time they have
failed to find just where Governor AL
len appointed any representative of
organized labor to sit at the banquet
tables or to greet the soldiers at the
docks
j. r. Woodruff, well known Topeka
labor representative, has called" Gov
ernor Allen in a contribution this
Woodruff does not understand why
the governor selected only political
celet-ities and press agents to go to
New York and overlooked entirely the
selection of a representative of labor.
The Topeka labor leader frankly
speaks of the trip to New York as a
junket at the expense of Kansas tax
payers. He also takes a generous rap
at the Chamber of Commerce.
Can Stand on Curbs.
There is one joy, tho. woodruff is
confident the governors distribution
of the SIS, 900 state fund will be man
aged in such a way that members of
the labor organizations-with sons
and brothers in France-may stand on
the curb line and cheer the governor
and his party when they pass.
Commenting on the governors use
of the state reception fund for enter
tanning soldiers, Woodruff says:
''You will notice that in all the
plans for the reception of returning
soldiers labor receives absolutely no
recognition, in spite of the fact that
a goodly per cent of the returning SOL
dierS are workers. If labor wishes to
be represented or to show its appre-
citation for her returning comrades it
will have to be done in labors own

just Junket Trip.
"Of course the trip to the coast at
the expense of the state was just a
little junket trip and in no way does
it affect the soldiers. They receive no
enjoyment from it., that's all for the
delegates Labor won't be invited in
any parades or on any reception COM

RED CROSS REUNION
C. b. Merriam of Topeka and j. H.
Jones of Houston Meet in
Texas.
(From Houston (Texl Chronicle.)

A reunion of Red Cross forces is
being held in Houston this week. Jesse
H. Jones is the official host, and c. r.
Merriam of Topeka, Kan, is the Off
cial guest.
The program is one in which the
public is a minority stakeholder and
is devoted wholly to entertainment
There are no welcome addresses and
responses and none of the pomp and
panoply which usually cast haloes
over reunions. The line of march
leads only to the golf links and there
are no blaring bands heading the pa
rade.
In the war the men and women of
the Red Cross were called upon to
play the less splendid but more impor-
tant part. 1t was theirs to heal, rather
than to hurt; theirs the work of de-
Tense rather than of destruction.
They operated the most gigantic re-
pair shop the human race has ever
known. where broken bodies were re-
constructed and broken hearts were
made whole. 1t was not theirs to
share in the fierce joy of victory on
the batt1efields, but to dispel the
gloom of defeat to the nen who fell
wounded, and to tighten the burdens
and lessen the woes of the mothers
whose sons went down to death wear
ing the blood-red badge of courage.
In this character of service men were
drawn together as closely as men are
drawn together on the field of deadly
conflict and they become comrades,
with the devotion for each other that
characterizes the men who touch
shoulders in battle line.
Il have never seen anything in the
line of esprit de corps to rival that of
the men who formed the Red Cross
organization" said Mr.. Merriam.
Chester Woodward, a member of the
organization, said to me the day 1 left
home: If Jesse Jones wired me. to
go to Paris, I'd go without stopping
sonal sacrifice Mr.. WoodwardS
words are typical of the organization.
To man, our organization was ready
to do whatever was necessary to adj
vance the cause. No man stopped to
consider his own interests, his personal
comfort. or any other requirement.
When I received a telegram from
Mr.. Jones asking me to come to
Houston, 1 came without stopping to
inquire what was wanted. 1 was
pleased on arriving here to discover
that Mr.. Jones wired me to come be-
cause he was lonesome for some Red
Cross company We worked together
for more than a year, and we early
organized a mutual admiration So
ciety. Now we are to play together for
day or two, and we are as happy as
two school boys starting on a vacation
after a long term with the books
Mr.. Merriam is the executive of the
Merriam Mortgage company and is
president of the Chamber of Com
merce of Topeka.
Yesterday he was introduced to the
golf links at the Houston Country
club and took part in a spirited match
with Fred Proctor, Underwood Nazro,
Frank Ireland and Ed Prather.

No Time to Eat When Fighting

BY EDWIN A. MENNINGER.
New York, April 25.-Donald Rees,
Topeka non-com with the 10th en-
gineers. who have been stationed at
Camp Mills, l. L, since their arrival
in New York, en- route to Kansas, hes
itated today to discuss his war ex-
periences.
There's nothing I would say that
the folks at home want to hear about
said Don. It's an old story and 1
don't like to get into print
I'VE did have an interesting life in
France but I am very, very happy to
get back here. Our food over there
was the chief thing of which I can
complain, for we grew tired of that
round of soup with brown bread, and
French fried potatoes.
Little Time to Eat.
"Of course. when we were fighting
we had little or nothing to eat. And
the same was true of the time we were
on the march-forced marches, they
were-for we made more than a hum
dred miles at one jump in September,
Just before we got il. the fighting,
and we had only about six hours
sleep at night before we were march
ing again. The grind made me think
of Kipling's Boots On those long
hikes we had hardly enough food for
the men and never any for the horses.
You know the story of how we adj
vanced in the Argonne. The fighting
was awful. There were boys with us
who had been at Chateau Thierry and
at st. Mihiel and all agreed those
were childs play beside this. blind
forest struggle.
I'VE bore the brunt of the advance
for six days and were almost dead
from fatigue when the fresh troops
came in to relieve us. We were GER
tainly glad to see them, for our artil-
lery had been doing more than its
share for days in support of the front
line men and our gunners were worn
out.
Couldn't Sleep Much.
Thru those days there was no rest.
din and flare were too terrific to allow
any real relaxation. / spent two
nights in a hole that was about four
feet square and two feet deep, with
six inches of water in the bottom. The
shells broke over top or whizzed on
ing to sleep. 1 would roll over occa-
sionally, just to change my position,
and really enjoyed that water.
But 1 say again, / m glad to get
back and it will be a Gcold day before
come east again. The plains are
good enough"
Sergeant Rees will be sent to Fun
ston this week for GENERALIZATION. Mrs.
Rees, who was Miss Martha Chambers
of Topeka, arrived in New York last
Sunday to meet her husband, and will
return to Kansas when he goes. As
soon as he gets out of the service,
Rees expects to go back to his old job
war he was employed as a civil engi-
neer, following his graduation from
Texas A. and M. He went to Wash
burn two years.

EAST VS.. WEST IN RELAYS.
One, Two and Four Mile Races F'ea
lures of U. of p. Carnival.

Philadelphia, April 26-Chief in
terest in the University of Pennsyl-
vania's relay carnival today centered
in the one, two and four mile national
championship relay races. Altho
faster teams probably have been seen
in these events, never have so many
high class .quartets been entered. Add
ed interest was given all three races
because of the competition between
which included champions in their
various classes.
Judging from their showing to date
most of the teams in the one mile
race are quite evenly matched and a
spirited contest was expected. The en-
tries include Nebraska, the western
champions. Pennsylvania, Pittsburg,
Missouri. Cornell, Massachusetts, Tech,
Dartmouth, and Princeton.

GOVT CANNOT HELP
Hurley Says American Business Must
Depend on Own Common Sense.

Chicago, April 26.-Business must
depend on its own common sense and
not on government agencies, accord
ing to E. N. Hurley, chairman of the
United States shipping board, in an
address before the sixth National For
eign Trade Council, in convention here
today.
The larger share of the problems
are economic rather than legal, said
Hurley, as he warned business men
against getting into the habit of de-
pending on the government to solve
their difficulties.
Hurley said after a three months
study of the situation in Europe he
found no outstanding advantage there
over the United States in either pro-
duction, labor or quality. He ridiculed
the pessimistic who foresee calamity
awaiting American business, once
American industry and business swing
into their stride.

KEEP X. U. CONNECTIONS
Municipalities League Will Not Raise
Dues of Cities.

A continuation of the connection of
the Kansas League of Municipalities
with the University of Kansas was de-
cided upon in a meeting of the execu-
tive committee held Friday at the city
building. At the meeting held in
January it was decided to make the
league self supporting by raising the
rate of dues and to sever connections
with the university. However, so
many cities threatened to withdraw
rather than meet the raise that it was
decided Friday not to put the new
ruling into effect. The municipal ref
erence bureau of the university will
continue to assist the league.
