TELLS OF MERCHANTS PLANS
Secretary Tabor Explains Activities of
Assn to Square Circle Club.

An outline of the trade extension
campaign being put on by the Topeka
Merchants association was given
Monday night by Milton Tabor, secre-
tary, before the meeting OF the Square
Circle club at the Elks' home
Tabor explained the necessity for
extending the Topeka trade territory
and urged the cooperation of the
members of the club in bringing more
business here. He also mentioned the
campaign being waged by the associa-
ton against the bogus check artists
and stated that the number of no fund
checks had been reduced almost SO
per cent since the campaign started.
The matter of the building of a new
city Jail was also discussed and the
members of the club were urged to
give their support to the proposed
plan.
A committee composed of C. E.
Hubbard. Milton Tabor and J. H. Lee
was appointed by the club to take up
the matter of keeping the streets
clean. The members of this commit
tee will confer with the other civic
bodies of Topeka in an effort to form
a plan by which the streets, and es-
peeially Kansas avenue, be kept
cleaner. The plan was heartily ap-
proved this morning by the Rotary
Gu thru its secretary

He BROKE PACT
Mrs. StilIman Bitter Because
Husband Brought Suit.
Agreement Had Been for Her
to Start Divorce.

New York, May 10.-Zaida Ben
Youseff, former society photographer,
has arrived in New York-from Eng
land to offer her assistance to Mrs.
James A. Stillman in the 1atterS di-
vorce case, it was learned today.
She b9Same acquainted with Still
man when he called at her New York
studio to have his portrait made
Stillman as well as many other big
Wall street financiers had several por-
traits made by Miss Ben Youseff.
The artist had closed her New York
studio and gone to London when she
learned of the divorce suit. She hur-
ried back to the United States. 1t was
reported today she had a list of names
of women which she is ready to turn
over to Mrs. Stillman's LAWYERS in order
to be of assistance to her.
Some of the bitterness underlying
the divorce suit was explained today
when it was learned that Mrs Still
man when she first broke with her
husband had an agreement with him
whereby she would go to Paris and
file the action of separation. When
she was about to sail aboard the
Olympic, agents of the bankers at
torney served her with papers showing
he had instituted action in this state.
Mrs. Stillman, her friends say, de-
nounced that action as a breach of
agreement
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers today are
planning another invasion of Canada
to question persons who were residing
near Grand Aunse, location of the
Sdllman farm. during the summer OF
1913 when Mrs. Stillman and Fred
Beauvais are alleged to have been
much in each others company.

NO NEARER SETTLEMENT
Both Sides in Printers Strike Say
Nothing New"

The strike of the printing trades in
Topeka seems no nearer settlement
today than on the first day of the
walkout.
Nothing new was the verdict
from both striking printers and en-
ployers today. Progress toward a set
tlement has been made in other cities.
IL any arbitration is in progress in To-
peka, it is well concealed.
The increasing of the strike benefit
payments to the members of the
Typographical union indicates that the
union men regard the strike as one
probably of long duration.

FAMOUS GIVEN ON PURCHASES

SERVICE MEMS DEMANDS.

There ought to be no hard feeling
about the military bonus. on one side or
the other. 1t is hoped that the service
men themselves can see the matter as the
responsible government officials, the bus
mess men and the general public see it.
The army men have legitimate griev-
ance still in the failure of the government
to do its full share in providing for the
disabled service men. That is something
that must be attended to. In that, the
public is with the army. The veterans
have maintained that that is what they
are primarily concerned with. They
can accomplish it all the more surely now
by Withdrawing or postponing their de-
mand for a money bonus, and doing it
with the explicit understanding that
ample provision of every kind is to be
made for all the sick or wounded who
need it.
The army men also have a legitimate
grievance in the dilIy-dallying of con-
gress with regard to unquestionably le-
ultimate measures for their own welfare
and the country's. Several excellent
plans have been put forward, by both the
former and the present administration,
to readjust the able-bodied service men
to civil life in advantageous ways.
The foremost plan of the sort was
one contemplating a great redemption of
waste lands, public and private, by the
labor and brains of war veterans, aided
by public funds. This would have been
not a fit gift, but an investment of pub
lie funds, and probably a profitable one.
Something of the same kind, in a modi-
fed way, is contemplated in one of the
provisions of the adjusted compensa-
ton" bill now pending in congress. Some
of the other provisions of that measure
are admittedly sound. The only one that
has aroused serious criticism and oppo-s
sition is the cash bonus provision. The
veterans may properly insist that, if they
renounce their claim to money payment,

The Situation at Wilder.
st. Albans MESSENGER

NN1. Adams Messenger. }
It is gratifying to learn that the prob-
abilities are that it will be unnecessary
to use state troops in. connection with
the strike of employees at the InteruI-
tIonal Paper Co.'s mill at Wilder. Early
FRIDAY morning it looked as if Il crisis
had been reached which would require
the presence of soldiers. but the civilian
authorities were quick. to meet the sit
uauon and Adjutaut-General johnson
arriving several hours later, is reported
by press dispatches to have found the
situation clearing up.p' go. sv
The strike has been ia, progress for
several weeks and fridays riot was the
hrSt actual trouble. 50 far as one can
learn. The strikers had gathered in
considerable numbers outside the high
fence that surrounds the plant and had
stopped truck bringing food to the
strike breakers. Soon after this a big
automobile, filled with strike breakers
IT IS assumed. left the gates of the plant
and its occupants began firing into the
crowd. y flesh wound was SUSTAINED
by one OF the strikers. but it is believed
that many of the revOlvcrS contained
blank cartridges else the casualties
would have been much larger, as the
shooting was at blank range.
SO far as The Messenger can see.
blame is attached to each side. The
strikers were armed with clubs. and
men armed with clubs are looking for
trouble. The strike breakers never
should have been permitted to leave
their quarters, and should not be per
mitted to carry arms. Men, in such
situation. do not carry arms for the fun
of the thing. Here. then. was a com
bination making for trouble and ii was
fortunate, indeed, that the rioting was
not much more serious
The place to put the responsibility
for such outbreaks is on the leaders of
each side. The Messenger understands
that the strike breakers come from New
York and belong to the professional
strike breaking class. They have their
own leader. This man should be able
to enforce discipline among his follow
ers and if he is not, the management of
the International Paper Co. should make
some change. The paper company is
not to be blamed for seeking to operate
its plant. 1t has a perfect right to do
this. and it has an obligation to its
stockholders and its customers to keep
the wheels moving. But it also has the
unacceptable responsibility to maintain
the public peace, so far as is within its
powers and acts of aggression by its
present employees are not to be toler-
ated.
Labor also has its responsibilities

WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1921.
FOR A COMMUNITY HOUSE.

At some time within the next few
weeks the voters of Brattleboro will be
given an opportunity to decide whether
they approve of the combined Memorial
Armory and Community house project to
the extent of voting a sum not to exceed
$4,000 to make it possible. The Re
former honestly believes that Brattleboro
never again will have chance to get so
much for its money
BY adopting the plan which is outlined
elsewhere in this issue the town will
avail itself of the $4,000 Main street
site which has been offered for commun-
ity house purposes by George l.. Durham,
the state armory appropriation of 500
600 and the War Chest balance, which is
more than $1,000 These, together with
an appropriation of the size mentioned.
las a matter of fact, probably no more
than $4,000 would be actually needed)
will make possible the erection of $780,
900 building that will not only serve as
an adequate and useful memorial to the
towns soldiers and meet fully the needs
of the local National Guard company but
VIII provide lacllIles lor al SoI'S VI
community activities.
The town already has pledged $4,000.
toward the purchase of an armory site
and would probably be called upon for at
least that sum, possibly several thousand
more. in case the combined project were
abandoned In view of this and other
facts The Reformer has an idea that n
big majority of the voters of Brattlehoro
will see the wisdom of appropriating
so. 900 or $4,000 more and thus secur-
ing what the community house committee
rightly calls "a building available for
uses at a cost within our
means"

SOLDIERS WILLING TO QUIT.

1t develops that sympathy for the SOL
diers who were destined to be turned
out of their jobs as a result of the army
misplaced. The men will not have to be
forced out They are willing, even eager,
to leave
1t is reported that nearly % per cent
of the 100000 now in the service have al
ready requested their discharge. In
Camp Lewis, Washington, two-thirds are
ready to go. 1t may be that the neces-
sary 10000 can be- eliminated in this
friendly and honorable way. If not. there
are many thousands whose term of serv-
ice will expire in any event before the
expiration of the time limit set for the
reduction, and who will thus be dropped
automatically instead of being invited to
re-enlist as usual
This situation may not seem to speak
very well for the repute of the service
as a calling. When men are so willing
to leave at a time of depression and gen.
eral unemployment, the army obviously
has no very strong appeal. But it must
be remembered that Americans have
never cared much for army service.
There is always restless youth here
and there who feels the urge to enlist
for the sake of travel. novelty and adven-
ture, but even he is likely to tire of it
before long. For regular occupation,
the typical American prefers something
else, especially in time of peace.
Large numbers of the present per-
sonnet, too, enlisted as a result of much
urging, as a patriotic duty. When it is
made clear to them that their country no
longer wants their services, that is
enough. They proceed to go where they
are wanted. And the chances are that
before many months they will all be
wanted in the Offices and workshops of
the country, and on its farms and rail
roads and shipping routes, to do the
work of the coming business revival.
