Legion to Turn
Searchlissht on
Nonpartisan Head
Salina. Kan, Post Plans Cam.
paign Of Publicity Against
Townley and Crew of

ganda with propaganda. The de-
cision to bring the odium of pub
licity upon the big Chief" ana his
paid organizers was made a, a spe-
cial meeting yesterday.
.. A. kitterman, commander of
the post, by unanimous vote OF his
comrades, was given full power to
act in swinging the full weight of
the local legion membership into
force.
"The legion men believe that the
people of Saline county are as wilt
ing to listen to our speakers and
read our literature as they are to
read that Of Townley," Kitterman
said. "Townley is master at pro-
paganda. He is a psychologist of
the crowd and the individual. II
our post can bring to Sal:na and
Saline county, a crew of speakers
and men who know Townley's
faithlessness to the farmers in North
Dakota, of his arrest and convic-
ton for espionage in Minnesota and
of his secret caucus that ruled North
Dakota like tyrant, then we be.
lieve we can whip Townley at his
own game"
Kitterman received kilograms to-
day from posts in several towns
in the vicinity of Salina. These
messages assured him that The posts
of Kansas would cooperate with
the Salina organization in the fight
against Townley. A meeting of
the legion will be held Tuesday
night when Kitterman will appoint
his committee to arrange the dc.
tails of the fight.

British Papers
Question Result
0fReprisal Move
Public Opinion Shocked
When Details of Burning
OF Middleton Are Made
Public.

London. Jan. 5,--Public opinion
received shock when the details OF
the burning OF the Irish town OF
| Middleton on Saturday were made
public yesterday. This shock was
particularly felt i'll quarters where it
| had been supposed that martial law
i'll southwestern Ireland would put
an end to such reprisals. Nowhere is
there outspoken approval of the
| punishment meted out to the Irish
! village by Major General Sir Edward
Strickland, and there evidently is
some reluctance to endorse this
method of keeping order.
In official statements it is dc
clared that seven dwellings, i'll
Middleton were destroyed as result
! OF an ambush of police near that
town last Wednesday. Declaration
that the authorities had decided that
the people living in certain houses in
the vicinity OF the outrage must have
known OF the plot to ambush the
police, and that after the inmates OF
the houses selected for destruction
had been warned to leave. the build
ings were set on fire. The occupants
were permitted to remove their val
uables. but had to leave their furni-
ture behind.
While declining to question the act
OF burning the houses, on the ground
that it was a drastic measure, the
London Times questions the ade-
quacy of the explanation that the in
habitants of the burned dwellings
were bound to have known of the
ambush. .....
Official reprisal," the newspaper
continues, may be a rough form OF
Justice, but, despite the roughness,
the element of justice should be al
ways beyond question"
The Daily News says "the reports
will be read by amazement and
despair. 1t is savage outrage upon
human decency, and the matter can
not be left where it is"
The Daily Herald. organ of labor,
calls it savage and diabolical vio-
lence,' and calls upon labor to stop
this war upon a nation"

Idea on Foot Ball

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Coach Robert

new idea for foot ball rule when
he asserted that gain or score made
by a man who RECEIVERS a fufnbled
ball should not be counted.
The ,lan who usually makes such
a gain or touchdown is one who
might be termed the "loafer" in the
team, who lags behind waiting for
such an opportunity. he says.
The man responsible for the fun

touchdown is punished enough by
the loss of the ball.
