Promised Privilege of Looting Warsaw
When It's Captured.

London, Aug. 10.-Entry into War
saw by soviet troops this week is eX-
pected by Bolsheviki sympathizers in
this city, says the London Times, quot
ing a correspondent who declares that
Immediately after Warsaw is taken
a soviet government will be establish
ed there. The correspondent declares
the Moscow government proposes to
make its own terms with a Bolshe-
Wiki Poland, and says it is not believed
Nikolai Lenine, the soviet premier,
could stop the offensive, even if he
desired. before the Bolsheviki armies
enter the Polish capital. "as the sol
diers have been promised the privilege
of looting til city"
Leonine Krassin and M Kameneff,
heads of the Russian BolsheviN trade
commission in this city, expect they
and their whole mission will be asked
to leave England when the news of
the fall of Warsaw is received. Ne
gotiations for the resumption of trade
relations between the allies and soviet
Russia are at a standstill and the
Times declares that a blockade of
Russia would make little difference at
the present time. NJ. Krassin and
Kameneff were invited by laborite
members to attend yesterdays meet
ing at the house of commons, but they
refused to do so, considering ii i'm
polite to accept the invitation. The
two Russians were greatly agitated
Monday, it is declared. When they
arrived in London it was said they
had plenary powers, but they are
obliged to refer most trivial matters
to Moscow.

AVIATOR Is NOT TO BLAME.
H. C. Travers Cleared of Charges for
Failure to Observe Rules.

H. c. Travers, Kansas City aviator,
who was charged with contributory
negligence owing to the death of a
fellow aviator in a fall on Cowles field
Topeka, Sunday, was cleared of all
blame by a coroner's jury in the court
of Topeka this, morning.
Travers piloted the airplane that
fell on Cowles field and resulted in
the instantaneous death of u. F. Ma
deau of Kansas City. It was charged
that Travers violated ground rules by
taking up over the field with the wind
instead of a complete getaway after
the start. Several aviators appeared
before the coroner's jury and testified
that international rules require avia-
tors to attain height over the start
ing field before they fly away. Owing
to the fact that Travers was not ac-
quainted with local rules and was fol-
lowing international regulations. the
jury cleared him of all blame for con-
tributory negligence.
Travers was uninjured when the
plane fell

JAPANESE PAPER
IN SLAP AT U. S.
KOkumin Says American Fos-
ters Disloyalty There.
Say Christianity Used as Cloak
in Anti-Japan Campaign.
MANY CHARGES BROUGHT
Americans Said To Be FOment-
ing Labor Troubles.
Most of Jap Press Regards Rus
sian Occupation Unwise.
MANY CHARGES BROUGHT

Toxic, Aug. 1O.-Assertions that
Americans are fostering dislovaltv
among the people of Japan" and that
American missionaries in Korea are
using the cloak of Christian nity to in
still anti-Japanese sentiment there"
are made in series of articles appear
ing daily in the newspaper Kokumin
in Shimbun. The journal is considered
the organ of the military groups and
its proprietor and editor is Ichiro
Tokutomi, one of the leading journal
lists of Japan.
America is declared to be using
japanese educators. thinkers and busi-
ness men as tools to spread dangerous
thoughts, destroy military discipline
and influence Japanese youths to avoid
conscFiption in the army" The news
paper says Americans "foment labor
troubles for the purpose of hindering
japanese industrial development and
reducing her production"
Charge AIiIitarism.
America is puffed up since the
war" says another article, land con-
siders herself the sole arbiter of the
world"
Plans for large United States navy
are regarded by the writer of the arti-
cles as completely removing Amer
lea false mask of justice and human
ity' and exposing her claws of mill
tarism-" America is seizing every op-
portunity to protest against Japanese
actions and in influencing China
against japan, it is alleged.
Many of our intelligent men are
enamored of America" the Kohumin
says, land because of this public opin-
ion is not excited. even when our na-
tional dignity and the rights of our
empire of spotless perfection have
been insulted'
Say Jap Policy CnWise.
A review of the newspapers of ia
pan shows that influential journals
have refrained from attacks on Amer
ica. They hold the opinion that the
Japanese occupation of Russian terri
tory is not wise. as it is likely to create
complications with the powers. The
people of Japan are eager readers of
newspa pers, which have admittedly
grown in influence in recent years.
Some japanese go so far as to declare
the newspapers are more representa-
tive of the opinion of the empire than
the japanese diet.

Best Family Contest at Free
Fair in September.
Originator of Movement in To-
peka Making Plans.

Mrs. Mary T. Watts. of Auburn, Ia,
originator of the better baby move
nTents iss7fn Topeka to help work out
plans for the better family contests
that will be held at the Kansas Free
Fair. Mrs. Watts is working with
Doctor Sherbon. of the child hygiene
department of the state board of
health.
An effort is to be made to get the
best families in Kansas to contest for
the loving cup that will be given by
Governor Allen. There is no restric-
ton as to the size of families and the
physical, mental and eugenic points
scored by both parents and children
will be taken into account in making
awards.
We had five big fairs in the United
States competing for this attraction -
Mrs. Watts said today. "but we de-
cided to confine our activities to Kan
sas so that we would make sure of
the success of the initial movement" "
Mrs. Watts contends that for a per-
feet baby to develop into a perfect
adult there must be the proper par
entage behind it. There might be a
perfect baby a few months old that
would become an epileptic before
reaching the age of 10 years. if the
parents were not what they should
have been" she said

ish Waters Today.

British squadron steamed into Danish

pate in a blockade of Russia.
Paris, Aug. 10.-The military deci-
sions reached at the Hythe conference
between Premier Lloyd George and
MilIerand and their advisers were as
follows. according to the French for
eign office.
First-Thst IT was impracticable and
unnecessary to send allied troops to
Poland
Second-The integrity OF Poland's
western front was guaranteed (This
paIpably means that an effort by Ger
many to use the present crisis IN an
attempt 10 regain any of the territory
ceded to Poland under the treaty of
Versailles would be decfsfveIy mega
tived by the aliies-)
Third-That the allies would con-
tinue sending munitions and skilled
officers TO Poland.
Blockade measures would possibly
be taken later. 1t was said. but French
opinion questioned the effectiveness
of such action.
