ports received by state HEADQUARTERS.
at Pittsburg, Chairman P. T. McGinley
and Secretary T. A. Thoma are quite
hopeful of the result. The Kansas
quota is $4,000, and 1t ought to be
subscribed easily. However, it all de-
pendS on the zeal and industry of the
local committees.
The state organization desires to i'm
press upon the public, and the local
county chairmen as well. that this re-
lief campaign is humanitarian Who'll
ly; men and women of all political
relations or religious creeds joining in
it. 1t is not for the benefit of able
oodled men. but wholly for the relief
OF hungry and homeless women and
children and aged men in Ireland
Ihe fund derived by the campaign will
be conserved as carefully and distrib-
uted as conscientiously as the money.

charge have been locked out" the re-

TURKS PUSH ON
Entire Greek Expedition May
Be Oyerwhelmed.
Wounded Arriving From Front
in Large Numbers.

Athens, April S.-Wounded Greek
soldiers are arriving in such numbers
from the Smyrna and Brusa front that
sanitary authorities in this country are
unable to care for them properly.
Two thousand injured men arrived
at Piraeus yesterday and found in
adequate hospital accommodations,
the institutions being without beds
and equipment and having deficient
personnel. Queen Sophie has appealed
to the American Red Cross in Paris
for nurses and four classes of doctors
have been called out by the govern
ment. The wounded men are being
brought in tramcars from Piraeus to
this city. Many women of Athens are
leaving to work in the base hospitals
in Anatolia.
Turks Resume Advance.
Paris, April S.-Turkish national
lists have resumed their advance in
the Brusa sector of Asia Minor, ac-
cording to dispatches received at the
French foreign office.
Fears are entertained here for the
safety of the entire Greek expedf-
tionary force. The ma gnitude of the
reverse suffered by the Greeks ap-
pears to be greater than first sup
posed, judging from the latest infor-
nation. Six thousand wo n d d
Greeks are said to be in hospitals in

Sunday School Hymns Are
Only yJazzed Soft Soap Says

Have Been Making Our Children Hot-Blooded Animals
Instead of Sensitive Worshiping Souls-Must Fight
Broadway Ditties With Good Church Music, Declares
Dr. Augustine Smith.

This is the fault of the gospel
hymn today It is either a stock
taking of sins OF it whisks one away
to glory-land vivace. Every school
boy and girl ought to know the hymn
tunes that are immortal. Is it neces-
sary to add that the supervisor should
be wise in this field, too? He un-
doubtedly knows how the church has
been the savior of music, drama,
architecture and art thru the dark
ages, thru endless wars. thru the mi
grafton of races. No denominational
tag is on the greatest hymns.
Must Fright Broadway Ditties.
broadway rhymesters are tearing
marriage and home life to tatters. The
modern dance is a Roman orgy"
He outlined a church director of
music whose duties would extend far
beyond the choir. He said churches
are willing to pay enormous prices for
quartet, but not a dollar for tuned
piano or a Sunday school accompanist
who can play in the sharp keys
Doctor Smith traced the growth of
religious music from the time of the
early Hebrews, averring that their
songs have never been surpassed for
their literary texture and their his
toric and devotional content. He said
that We have available hymns written
in a state of siege from batt1efields.

streets of Industrial life. and up to

content to sing instead saccharipe dit
ties about the brevity of life and long

Scope of Industrial Court May
Be Tested Next Week.
Court Members viii Return
From Pittsburg Tomorrow.
NO ACTION BY GOVERNOR ALLEN
Belief Is Expressed of Weak
ness in Labor Court Act.
to Confer With New
Tribunal Soon.

Scope of the industrial court act
may be tested next week in the sym
pathetic building trades strike called
for Topeka Monday. In the state
house today there is question as to
whether the labor court law is suffi-
ciently broad TO cover the proposed
strike. Members of the court. as well
as the attorney general, have been in
Pittsburg all week and will not re-
turn until late today or Saturday.
A sympathetic Strike.
The building trades strike ordered
for next week is called in sympathy
for members of the carpenters union,
who are now idle in Topeka. They
are out because of disa greements with
the master builders relative to rights
of employers to use discrimination i'll
selecting union or non-union labor.
The building trades strike is expected
to cause a general tie up of all build
ing operations here.
Plans for meeting the strike may be
worked out in the state house as soon
as members of the industrial court re-
turn to Topeka. Governor Allen today
refused to anticipate action by either
the unions or the state.
State to Take Action
"If a strike is called in any industry
affecting the public good, the matter
will naturally be called to the atten-
ton of the court of industrial rela-
tons" said the governor. Further he
would make no comment. He declined
to discuss a possible failure of the
law to meet the strike situation.
Governor Allen said the strike
question had not been called to his
attention. He denied all knowledge
of the proposed walkout and said he
would make no statement at this time
which might affect the situation.
Law May Not Cover 1t.
There is belief in some circles .thaf
a weakness exists in the labor courr
law and that it may not cover the
building strike. The. strike PROPOSE
tion is made to affect only activitie:
and industries wherein public safetl
and welfare is at stake. On the lothe
hand a number of state officials be
lieve that the building program is o
sufficient importance to. come unde
any broad Interpretation of the law

court as soon as they return to To

HEAR CATTLE RATE CASE
Arguments Before Supreme Court in
Kansas Railroad Order.

The supreme court late this after
noon planned to hear arguments in
the mandamus proceedings brought
by the public utilities commission
against Kansas railroads. The action
was filed in an effort to compel estab-
lishment of reduced rates on grazing
cattle shipped between points in this
state.
An order directing a 80 per cent re-
duction on cattle from western feed
lots to eastern Kansas pastures was is
sued by the commission early this
week. The railroads refused to enter

to enjoin enforcement of the order.

supreme court with an application for
writ of mandamus to compel pubiica-
tion of the new rates. A temporary
order was issued and hearing of appli-
cation for a permanent writ was set
