LAST C. O. FREED
Secretary Issues Order al
Thanksgiving Day Gift.
Are Thirty-Three SIackers Al
fected by Mandate.

Washington. Nov. 25.-Conscien-
tious objectors who refused to take
part In the world war received their
greatest possible Thanksgiving day
gift in form of an order from Secre-
tary of War Baker today releasing the
thirty-three still held in prison.
THE cases of the thirty-three con-
scientious objectors who remained in
custody have been reviewed finally by
the secretary of war and the re-
mainder of their sentences remitted
and the men discharged" the an
nouncement said.
The majority of the thirty-three OBJ
Jectors have been in confinement more
than two years. One of the best
known of the cases disposed of was
that Of Benjamin Salmon. Salmon
wrote two letters to President Wilson
complaining that he was forcibly fed
when he desired to hunger strike.

FIRED BY MISTAKE
Bolsheviki General Sends
Apology to Polish City.
Renewed Conflict Along Armi-
stice Narrowly Ayerted.

Warsaw, Nov 25.-Armed conflict
between Polish forces and Bolshevikf
troops which have reached the Polish
frontier along the Zbrucz river was
narrowly averted yesterday when the
Bolsheviki began a bombardment of
the town of Podvoloczyska about Is
miles east of Tarnopol.
Polish authorities protested against
the bombardment which caused the
deaths of five persons and serious in
jury of sixteen others. The Poles were
preparing to attack the Bolsheviki
when the bombardment stopped and
the soviet commander sent a delega-
ton to the town, explaining the place
was fired upon because of a misunder-
standing.
The Bolsheviki believed the place
was east of the armistice line and in
the hands of Ukrainians. General
Permkir's Russian army, which has
attempted to cooperate with Simon
Petlura's Ukrainians has virtually been
destroyed it is said in dispatches from
Tarnopo1 and the Bolsheviki have
reached the eastern bank of the
Zbrucz along its entire length.
Reports also indicate that Petlura's s
army commanded by General Paw
lenko has been wiped out. More than
1000 fugitives from these armies
have recently crossed the Polish from
tier and have been disarmed by the
Poles and sent to various internment
camps

Santa Fe Reduces From Nine to
Eight Hour Day.
Due to Failing Daylight and Not
to Retrenchment.
WORKERS PAY IS REDUCED
New Order Went Into Effect
Wednesday.
Force Is Kept Up to Regular
Working Strength.

That the working hours at the Santa
Fe shops have been reduced from nine
hours a day to eight hours, with a cor
workers, was credited to the failing
daylight and not to retrenchment pol
icies of the company by NJ. J. Drury,
superintendent of the shops, this
morning.
On Wednesday, the nine hour day
for the machine shops was discon-
tinued, and the men were instructed
to come to work at s o'clock in the
morning instead of at o'clock There
were 1.100 men affected by the order.
Put On Eigilt-Hour Basis.
Last week the car shops were put
on the eight-hour basis. on the same
account, Drury said this morning.
There has been no previous cutting
of working hours at Topeka, tho rail-
road shops along with other industries,
have been laying off men and cutting
down working hours, over the entire
United States.
There is still plenty of work to be
done getting out locomotives and cars
to meet the demands of the public,
Drury said this morning, but without
daylight the work can't be done.
Not Laid Off Saturdays.
There is no foundation to a report
that the men were being laid off on
Saturday afternoon, Drury said. The
office employees get their regular Sat-
urday afternoon lay off, but this has
not been adopted in the shops.
The further reports that large num-
bers of extra men are being hired in
/ several departments of the shops, were
also denied this morning by Drury.
Keep Force to Regular Strength.
1--WE are simply hiring men as we
need them to fill vacancies and keep
our force up to it's regular strength
| he said.
The fact that the Santa Fe shops in
Topeka are keeping their force up to
its normal size, is almost unique in
view of the reductions which are oc-
curing steadily in the east in rail-
road shops and factories

Roll Call Will Continue Re-
mainder of Week.

Cross flag in every home in Topeka
If there are not as many Red Cross

for the Red Cross
The annual roll call will not end
today, as planned, Mrs. c. A. Wolf an
noGnced. The number of persons en-
rolled to date are not numerous
enough to warrant the ceasing of eff
fort by the roll call workers. The
search for Red Cross recruits will con-
tinue this week and perhaps a part of
next week, Mrs. Wolf said.

Wolf said. "Of course we would like
to have a great many more than
10000. But to date we have only

FEEL u. S. Power
League4Assembly Fears to Con-
slider Disarmament.
United States Must Disarm
When Others Do.

Geneva, Nov. 25.-Reports that
Senator Medill Mccormick is coming
to Europe as an emissary of Presi-
dent-elect Harding, to make plans for
organization of an Association of ma
tions" caused the deepest interest at
the meeting of the League of Nations
assembly here today.
Altho there was no official discus
sion of the reports, the wish was ex-
pressed by many delegates that Nc
CoTmick might arrive here in time to
be present at sessions of the assembly.
Meanwhile, the United States con-
tinued to exert great influence over
the deliberations and decisions of the
assembly. The United States was
taken into consideration in making ev-
cry decision.
During the discussion of steps to
aid Armenia. Arthur J. Baifour. Brit
ish delegate. sought to secure a post
ponement in hope that the United
States eventually would intercede with
material and financial aid in behalf
of Armenia. Rene Viviani. French
representative. sought to defer action
on Armenia in the council, for the
same reason.
The question of disarmament was
passed over virtually without action
because Japan, Great Britain and
France privately refused to consider
reduction in their armies and navies
unless the United States also reduced
it's armament.
The decision not to admit to men,
bership the states formed from frag-
ments of the old Russian empire, was
based on belief that the United States,
entering the league later. might OBJ
ject to it. The powers do not want to
bind themselvs to policy which the
United States might refuse to abide by
later, their representatives say pri-
vately.
Amendments to the covenant are
also being delayed indefinitely, in the
belief that it is more desirable to wait
until the United States is in.

ers had plotted to blow up the Liver
pool docks and the Manchester power
and water plants.
Greenwood's assertions, made dur

Irish member, declared the charges
were false and that they were made
to discredit the Sim Fein.

This was amended, however, so that
it became in reality a resolution ex-
pressing admiration of the courage
and integrity of the British forces in
Ireland; and in this form it was passed
by a big margin.
