The long awaited trials of German
officers and prlvates for war crimes
began in the German high court at
Leipzig, but the list of defendants has
been cut down to SO and none of the
outstanding figures of the war appear
on 1t. The first man put on trial was
former sergeant accused Of ill-treat-
ing British soldiers in a prison camp.
He admitted the truth of the charges,
claiming the methods used were neces-

sentenced to ten months lmprison-

the number to 100000. Altogether the
senate bill carries about Sl00,0O0O0O

may be tied up In conference for some

TARIFF BILL IS
FOR SIX MONTHS
EMERGENCY MEASURE DESIGNED
TO GIVE TEMPORARY RELIEF
TO FARMERS AND OTHERS.
CURB ON DYES is CONTINUED
Provision 10 Made to Revalue All For.
eign Currency and Also to Prevent
Dumping Of Cheap Goods in This
Country.
By EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington.--The six months emer-
sency tariff bill, with its so-called anti
dumping clause, passed the United
States senate by a vote Of SO to %
with the customs rates fixed by the
house unchanged.
This is the emergency tariff measure
which met with the fate Of a pocket
veto" at the last session. It Is called
the six months bill because 1t Is to
be effective only for that length Of
time, when, the presumption is, the
new general tariff law now being
framed by the house ways and means
committee will have been enacted with
provisions to take the place of those
Included In the emergency act.
This bill provides increased rates Of
duty on wheat, corn, beans, tobacco,
sugar, wool and wool manufactures.
long staple cotton and cotton manu-
features, sheep, meats, peanuts, pota-
toes, cattle. rice and other farm and
plantation products.
The contention Is that the bill will
aid the agriculturists of the country
and Its promotion has been based on
this assumption. It may be that six
months will be sufficient to determine
whether or not material benefit will
come to the farmers from the enact
ment of the measure. There was
strong opposition to the bill by all
the Democrats in the senate except
seven, and by one Republican, Senator
Moses of New Hampshire, who voted
with the minority.

courage the savings departments and
to extend banking activities thru this
agency.
A large portion of the development
OF public sentiment toward the savings
account is declared to be due to cam
paigns by building and loan associa-
lions. In the last three years num-
Der of new building and loan associa-
lions have been organized in Kansas.
A number of their organizations are
already on sound financial basis
while the old esta bIished associations
continued to pay good dividends even
during the war period.
Big Increase in Last Year.
The last year has seen a big in
crease in saving account deposits. IN
spite of the unsettled industrial con-
dition- an dthe fact that many people
are now out of employment, the fun@s
have been withdrawn in but few in
stances. 1t is the belief of bankers
generally that the present situation
will tend to increase popularity of the
savings account plan.

MUST GUST JAZZ
Topeka Pastor Urges State S. 5.
Convention to Action.
Music Needed at Services But
Spiritual, Not Sensual.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 4.-Jazz
music must be ousted from the Sun
day schools. This was the demand OF
the Rev. Charles F. Mathews, pastor
of the First Baptist church Of To
peka, in an address before thu adult
division of the Kansas Sunday School
associations fifty-sixth annual con-
vention here today The opinion OF
speaker before the recent national
convention of musicians who con-
demned Sunday school music general
" as jazz, found some sympathy IN
the Topeka pastors discussion
Music is a great aid to worship,
said Mr.. Mathews. "A Worshlpful at
mosphere is absolutely necessary IN
the Sunday schools. The architecture
of the building, the appearance OF the
room, pictures on the wall, dacorum o.
those present and the program all
contribute toward creating the atmos-
phere
Music must have character. There
is no place for jazz in the Sunday
school, Music is either spiritual or
sensual The sensual incites muscular
action while the spiritual appeals to
the highest in men. Dance music is
out of place in the SUNDAY schooi as
ar aid to worship. Many modern
Sunday school songs are not worth the
paper they are written on. Their pop
ularity is temporary but they leave
their marks like smallpox.
Sunday school people are being ed
ucated away from good music. The
church sings the great hymns SO poor
ly because they are not taught to the
boys and girls in the Sunday school
The average Sunday school hymn is
not an aid to worship but a hindrance.
The great hymns that have stirred the
church in the past are of little value
if they are preserved only III the
hymn books. They must be in the
hearts and minds of folks to be of any
inspiration"
In discussing Sunday school prayers.
Mr.. Mathews said. MANY fall short of
the mark because the language fails
to be specific-'the petitioner wanders
like a lost man on desert'-or be-
cause lit does not come within the
range of understanding of those who
are listening"

Scores of banks which formerly re-

ploves have been assigned to the de-
paTtments which in a number of IN
stances have grown to enormous
proportions. The departments have
been built up almost exclusively from
among the wage earners and small pa
irons who are now taking their first
practical lessons in the art of saving
for the future.
Controlled by Women.
In many instances the savings ac-
counts are controlled almost entirely
by wives and daughters of wage earn
ers or men who earn nominal salaries.
From their allowances the women and
girls have begun a system of syste-
matte saving and in scores of cases
have laid aside a substantial fund for
the inevitable rainy day.
Reports from Kansas state and ma
tional bankers indicate they have an
abiding faith in the value of the now
rapidly growing savings accounts
The accounts are but little affected by
the current money demands and have
continued to show a steady growth
during the recent money flurries.

Standard Oil of Indiana are two diff
