She shook her head, still smiling.
"Oh, I don't think you are imperu-

We pulled the two punts alongside
each other and fastened them to the
bank. By this time Winston Churchill
seemed to have accepted me as q
harmless and necessary evil. He sat
up in the stern and watched me with
intelligent interest while completed
my preparations for lunch.

him gently down tho back with her

cushions, We lay back 1uxuriously in
our respective punts and talked aim

everything on Gods earth. From
where I was lying I could just sec
the tip of her nose, and I directed my
conversation to that.
By o'clock I had decided firmly
that arrangements must be made
which would involve the possibility
of our meeting freely in the future:

and said she must go home. I had

Third Appeal for France is
Made by CIemenceau.
Must Maintain an Army for
Protection, He Says.
FORCE WAR UPON The NATION
Theme of Address Taken From
Tomb of Gen. Grant.
Hidden War Materials i'm Ger
many Cause for Worry.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Georges Clemen-
ceau halted his appeals for American
friendship for France today for a day
of rest in preparation for the con-
tinuation of his tour Thursday morn
ing. He read with much interest COM
ments on his speech OF yesterday in
which he declared that while France
was seeking only peace, war was being
forced upon her.
While Clemenceau rested, thousands
reviewed the salient points of his
speech yesterday afternoon-his plea
for peace and the preservation of
France.
Germans Hide War Material.
A copy of what he termed a certi-
fled official report of the allied COM
mission of military control on hidden
war material unearthed in Germany
shared in the attention.
The theme of the ''Tiger's'' address
was taken from the epitaph on Gen
eraI Grants tomb in New York, Let
week.
Peace has arisen, he declared. and
it is now "our mission to convince
autocratic power that it should get
moves the world-truth, justice. lib
erty and right-should be achieved,
he said.
Need Large Army.
Quoting from what he termed an
official report on unearthed war ma
terials in Germany Clemenceau said
it clearly showed why France felt a
large army must be maintained
Thousands of rifles, pistols, car
tridges, parts of guns. field telephone
wire and quantities of other war ma
terial dug up in forty-five separate in
stances since July Is, 1921, were mem
toned in the report.
Tonight, CIemenceau will attend the

um theater where last evening he de- |
ivered a stirring speech on world /
peace.
He will leave here tomorrow for |
Springfield, Ill, where he will lay a |
wreath on the tomb ofNAbraham Lin

observation-disclosures

A remarkable coincidence took
place at Pelletiers tea room last
evening
In one part of the tea room the
Cooperative club was holding its
annual Thanksgiving dinner with
Warden Amrine of the state peni-
tentiary as the guest Of honor. In
another section of the room the
Modoc club was celebrating its 10th
anniversary with Governor-elect
Davis and Mayor Corwine as guests
of honor.
Now Amrine is an appointee of
Governor Allen When Jonathan
Davis enters the governors office
in January he has the appointment
of a warden on his hands. 1t has
been rumored freely that he Is con-
sidering Mayor Corwine of Topeka
for the position.
Furthermore. last night while
Amrine was giving his address to
the Cooperative club. Robert Mar
> tin. reader of the Modoc club, was
giving his famous recitation con-
cerning the story of the prisoner
who appealed to the governor for
freedom.
1t was a mixture OF pathos and
politics.

REACHES TOTAL OF $4,000
Today's Contribution to Associated
Charities Drive Was So,

A total of $3,704 was collected in
the associated charities drive under
way in Topeka today, bringing the to-
tai which has been collected thus far
to more than s12.O0O-which is still
less than half of the quota of $25. 900
which it is decided the three charities
-Hillcrest tuberculosis sanatorium,
Ingleside Home for the Aged and the
Topeka Provident assoc.ation+wil
need.
There is still a shortage of workers
for the drive. No slightest difficulty
has been encountered in securing
generous subscriptions where the
workers have been found to, call for
them. The only trouble has been
found in getting men and women
enough to assist in the drive.
Incidentally. the sentiment in To-
peka for community charity chest,
to be filled by single annual drive.
and from which all the charities viii
be supported, is being crystalliZed and
is found at every point where the So
Hcitors call. The frequent recurrence
of drives and calls for charity is re-
sulting in the favorable attitude of
practically every person in the city
toward the community charity chest.
The drive will be suspended Thurs
day, Thanksgiving, but will be re-
newed with as many additional work
ers as can be secured on Friday
morning

BLUE VS.. MANUALS.
Washburn and Pittsburg Win
Meet in Turkey Day Contest.
Is One of Hardest Games of
Season for Both Teams.

Washburn college and Pittsburg
Manual Training Normal will do battle
on the Washburn gridiron Thanks
giving afternoon for the second time
the two eIevens have met.
The game will be called at $3.50
o'clock and is expected to draw one
of the largest crowds that has seen a.
game on the Washburn field this year.
1t is a holiday and only one other
game near here will draw TOpekanS,
and that is the game at Manhattan.
1t is to be one of the hardest games
of the season for both elevens, appar
emily, as neither team has shown the
form of last year. The Normal eleven
took the game from the Ichabods last
year, 21 to Z, but the Normalites are
not as strong as in 1921. so will not
be able to put up as strong Il battle.
The Ichabods have been practicings
hard all this week, and Tuesday night
held final scrimmage practice. TOT
day will be light signal work.
DR.. Garfield Wede is known over
the Kansas conference as one of the
best coaches in the state. He has had
winning teams when he had but little
material from which to build a team.
This season may not prove an excep-
ton.
The Washburn boys are showing
much fight and are determined to win
this last game of the season. The boys
are showing better form on end runs
and are working the passing game
better than usual

FRANCE PLANS ARMY BUDGET.
Germans Must Lose Habit of Crossing
Rhine, Says Col. Fabry.

Paris. Nov. 29.-France must have
a strong army, well reorganized and
better equipped. Lieut.. Col Fabry.
one of the leaders in military ques-
tions. told the chamber of deputies
during the opening discussion today
of the army budget for 1923.
1.-The Germans" he said. must lose
forever the habit of crossing the
Rhine"
Col. Fabry declared there must be
mo Utopian theory of a defensive
army as France must be able quickly
to block a. German mobilization and
localize the conflict. He advocated
modernizing the equipment which, he
said. now is that of the armistice
period, for if the French were not
able to act quickly Germany would
soon make up for any lost time and
be the stronger.
The argument for an adequate army
was supported by NJ. GALAXY de Lam
azire, reporter for the army commits
sion, who presented revised figures of
4.101, 100000 francs for next year,
with additional 53O.0OO,OO francs for
the troops in the Rhineland.

Washington. Nov. 29.-The United

cratic minority resumed its filibuster
against the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
Legislative progress was at a COM
plete standstiH while both major par
ties organized for a finish fight over
enactment of the measure.
Scores of bills. urgent appropria-

legislation were held in abeyance by

Dyer bill is sidetracked. Speaking for
the minority, Senator Underwood an

to prevent enactment of the Dyer bill.
The Republicans as a result of
party caucus accepted the challenge,
declaring they will keep their meas

The caucus even voted to hold the

with the possibility of night sessi ons.

EXECUTION CAUSES.A STIR
Peace Conference Excited Over Hap
penings in Greece.
(By The Associated Press }

Lausanne, Nov. 29.-The Lausanne
conference, sensitive to any political
or economic happening elsewhere in
Europe, is greatly excited by news of
the execution of the former Greek
ministers in Athens. The information
generally cast a gloom over the vari-
Gus delegations.
The great importance of the ques-
ton to be decided here is testified to
by the tense atmosphere surrounding
all the activities of the conference.
The delegates are living under a
nervous strain similar to the expert
enced at the Paris treaty-making gath
ering.
Heads OF delegations hold frequent
meetings to talk over the agenda in
efforts to smooth out the more thorny
problems which might endanger the
success Of the conference. The ques-
ton of the frontiers of Turkey has
been held up because the leaders of
the discussion are endeavoring to side
track dangerous alterations in the Of
ficial sittings by seeking to arrive at
the general lines of an agreement at
private talks.
