The truce proposed by England also

Lloyd George Was 'eProvoked."
While the Russian note has virtu-

formed to investigate such questions
as credits, debts and the treatment
of foreign private property in Russia
with the hope that something con-
structive can be accomplished
Prime Minister Lloyd George in
opening the discussion, characterized
the Russian reply as typical of soviet
diplomacy, which he said always in

when the people were really trying TO
do business.

Barthou, for France. said that five
weeks of consid deration of the Russian
question at Genoa had been without

TO THE ROCK PILE SAYS MAYOR

Mercy, Warns COrwine.
Government to Keep Up Inves-
legations in Topeka.

That the underworld of To-
peka may have a connection with
the city police department thru
an alleged professional bonds
man." was stated today in let
ter written by George H. Wark,
federal prohibition director for
Kansas, to Mayor H. J. Corwine.
Wark. who has been making
an investigation of local cOndi-
tions for several days, declares
in the letter that conditions here
"are deplorable" and that viola
tions of the federal prohibitory
law in Topeka ARE most flag
rant"
Hints OF Protection.
WarIz's Investigations followed ru-
mors that have been common on the
streets for weeks to the effect that
the alleged professional bondSman'
has offered protection to bootleggers
for financial remuneration and that
he has made statements to the ef-
fects that he would settle liquor cases
in police court Several men are said
to have made statements to the effect
that they had been arrested on liquor
charges, that they had paid the al
legged professional bondsman" money
and that their cases had then been
dismissed in police court
Administration Is Hurt.
In his letter to the mayor, Director
wark stated that it is not the desire
of the government to supercede local
officials, but declared that conditions
in Topeka must be improved" He
assured the mayor that 1t is bringing
much discredit to your administration
and I would suggest careful investi-
CATION" As long as bootleggers are
given a fine. paroled and turned loose
upon the public. Wark asserted. a
municipality is simply encouraging
law violation.
Il do not know" says Wark in his
letter. whether law violators and the
underworld have any connection with
any of the departments of the city
thru an alleged professional bonds
man. but the statement is openly made
and seems to be of common know
Mayor Stops Bondsmcn.
Mayor Corwine. who made the let
ter public this afternoon, stated that
he had given orders to the police
department not to accept three al
legged professional hondsmen on
bonds. He said he felt certain than
one of these men is the one referred
to by Wark- None of these men
have gore on any bonds at police
headquarters for three weeks. said the
mayor.
Weak spots say the Mayor.
The mayor believes most OF the
trouble is due to the disposition of the
liquor cases.
There have been more arrests than
ever before he said late this after
noon. But the cases that hang fire
are hurting. I have been looking in
TO conditions for the last three week.
and have written many letters in an
attempt to straighten out the matters
as relating TO bonds and bondsmen.
There may be other weak spots in the
law enforCement-and probably are
but I believe the disposition OF the
cases is the worst trouble"

half training. So ! shuld like to see a

Imagination a Factor
AN educational institution. to attract
young men and have the power to fasten
upon them for life the deepest ideals, must
somehow appeal profoundly to their imagina-

mans God-g!ven motive to effort to the
achievement of that which yet awaits us

Its inner life and its outward structure alike
must stand out noble and inspiring thing,
rising above all the monotony and paltri-
ness of life. This s a costly ideal-costly
in dollars and costly in the thought and
effort involved. but in the last analysis it
is the most necessary, practical and econom-

try we are making noble efforts to win
for our youth the inspiration that Eton and
Cambridge and Oxford have for our British
cousins 1t Is high time that our churches
should do the same and most of all for their
training schools for the ministry. If am
right in my idea. that what the world needs
most of all is leaders and guides to the
truth that saves. then to realize these
qualities in our theological seminaries Is a
not to the Church alone, but to the Nation
