BY WILBUR S. FOREST.
London, July 5. Viscount Bryce,
former British ambassador to the
United States, threw back upon Ger
many the responsibility for prolonging
the war in a luncheon address before
the Pilgrim society in the Hotel Savoy
this afternoon. The affair was in
honor of James M. Beck, of New
York, former assistant attorney gen
eral of the United States, who is to
leave for Amerlca-
Bryce made a direct reply to a letter
recently sent him from America urg
ing that he use his best efforts In
behalf of peace. He answered that
Germany is not willing to agree to any
reasonable settlement at the present
time.
"Mr. Beck will wish to tell his coun
trymen at home what we think of war
and peace,'' began Viscount Bryce.
"Recently an address reached me,
signed by Americans, saying the war
must end in a draw and asking 'why
not make peace at once and save fur
ther bloodshed." It is significant that
most of the signers were of German
origin. We all fetl the horror and
suffering of war as much as any
pacifist in American, but we cannot
agree to any peace such as was sug
gested. War Not End in a Draw.
"Firstly, we do not think the war
will end in a draw. The allies are
going to win, because they will prove
stronger on land and also hold un
shakeable control of the sea.
"Secondly, Germany is not yet pre
pared fur any terms we could accept.
Germany will be beaten but the Ger
man people don t know it yet. The
government has forced on them false
hoods and refuses to accept terms
which would recognize its own failure.
"Thirdly, peace now on Germany's
terms would not be permanent but a
mere truce.
"Lastly, we are fighting for great
principles, vital to the future of man
kind which Germany has outraged and
which must be vindicated. We do not
hate the German people. We do not
desire to destroy their national union
nor inflict permanent injury upon
them, buk we do desire to exorcise the
evil spirit and discredit the military
caste delighting in war and threaten
ing all countries, America included.
Nothing but defeat can destroy its
spirit and deliver the Germal people
from the yoke.
Deliverance of Bclirlum and France.
"What Great Britain wants is secur
ity for herself and her dominions, the
deliverance of Belgium and North
France, such changes in the east as
to make it impossible for the Turks
ever again to massacre Christian sub
jects or become vassals or tools of
Germany in her projected eastward
advance.
"The allies are bound and resolved
to prosecute this war until victory is
won for principles and peace estab
lished on the sure foundations of jus
tice and freedom."

COMMERCIAL CLUB-
Senator James A. Troutman told a
story today of a former well known
Topeka drug store.- The proprietor
had been arrested for violating the
prohibitory law and his clerk had been
called as a witness. -
"What's your business?" asked the
lawyer for the defense.
"I'm a booze slinger in the drug
store," replied the clerk.
It was Just about enough evidence
to convict.
G. M. Horton. manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, was a
guest at luncheon today. - Mr. Horton
learned the telegraph business in the
Western Union office at Topeka.

PAYNE SEES LIGHT
Bnrlingame Banker Says
Hughes Will Stop Kow.
All Factions To Be Cemented
by Election This Fall.
Nomination of Charles Evans
Hughes for the presidency will cement
all the factions which have caused
trouble in the Republican ranks in
Kansas in the last eight years. That
was the prediction in Topeka today of
Walter L. Payne of Burlingame, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for state treasurer. .
Since the Republican national con
vention, Payne has visited more than
thirty counties In the central and
western portions of the state. In all
of these counties he found a definite
movement toward a reunion of the old
crowds with Hughes as the national
leader. Except in a few extreme cases,
Payne believes the former cupporters
of the third party will return to the
Republican party. There is no dis
cord, he declares, concerning the sup
port of the old line Republicans.
"Conditions which are now shaping
themselves in Kansas will insure
Hughes this state by 100,000 majority
in November," declared Payne, who
came to Topeka today to speak before
members of the First Ward Republi
can club. "There is a general move
ment in every county I have visited
since the national convention to get
together under the Hughes banner. I
believe it means the reuniting of the
factions which have occasioned more
or less trouble In the party in the last
eight years.
Sees 100.000 Plurality.
"Kansas will give the Republican
party a J 00,000 vote lead in my judg
ment of conditions. That means the
election of the entire state ticket by
an overwhelming majority, the-winning
back of the lost congressional dis
tricts and control of both tranches of
the state legislature.
"Except in rare and- extreme In
stances, theje is a state-wide tendency
to get together on Hughes. Out
through the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
districts, as well us in the Fourth, my
home district, I have found conditions
much the same. The voters desire a
change. They are tired of Wilson's
weak, wobbly, vacillating policies.
Hundreds of Democratic will also sup
port Hughes, in my Judgment, and
many of these men and women will
also support the Republican state and
congressional tickets."
Payne came to Topeka today from
Alma, where he delivered a Fourth
of July speech.. He has visited two
thirds of the counties in the state in
the present campaign and expressed
confidence concerning his success in
the August primaries. Payne was as
sistant during the administration of
the late Mark Tulley and was for sev
eral years president of the Kartas
Day club, the official Republican or
ganization of the state.
Want Union Men Freed.
Washington, July C. Senators Stone
and Reed, Speaker Clark and Repre
sentative Igo of Missouri called at the
White House today and urged the
president to release Paul J. Morrin
and Jihn Barry of Missouri, now in
Leavenworth penitentiary under con
viction in connection with the Struc
tural Iron Workers' dynamiting cases.
Both prisoners are members of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Morrin's sentence will expire next
month, while - Barry has a year to4
serve.
HOUND DOG IS MASCOT
Entraining Order In Missouri Camp
Greeted by "Klekln' My Dawg."
Nevada, Mo., July 5. The Second
infantry regiment, Missouri National
Guard, started loading its equipment
early this morning, after having struck
camp preparatory for departure for
the border . late today. Railroad of
ficials have promised the sleeping
cars for the men would be set at 4
o'clock and it is expected the two sec
tions of the regiment will leave Camp
Clark within two hours after that
time.
The Second regiment is recruited
from Southern Missouri and many of
its members count the Ozark moun
tains as their home. Consequently,
camp officers did not consider it un
usual when the regimental band struck
up, "You Gotta Quit Kicking My
Dawg Around" at reveille this morn
ing, in token of their jubilation at
prospects of being on their way to
Texas before the day was out. The
song, which originated in the Ozarks,
has been adopted as the regimental air
and a hound dog will accompany the
troops to the border as mascot
The regiment will be accompained
by B troop cavalry or St. Louis and
the ambulance corps from Kansas
City.

IN WEST MEXICO
Americans Are Compelled to
Flee for Their Lires.
Many Refugees Arrive at San
Diego Without a Cent.
San Diego. Cal., July 5. W. A.
Holton. of St. Louis, . an employe of
the United Sugar company of Los
Mochis, Mexico, who arrived here last
night on the naval transport Buffalo,
with 638 other American and British
refugees from West Mexican towns
and ranches, said today that he was
one of a party of eleven Americans
who were held recently by Carranza
soldiers near that town. Money, arrrjs
and ammunition were taken from
them and they were told to get out of
Mexico as quickly as possible.
Twenty-three Americans were left
at Los Mochis guarding the big sugar
refinery there and they have been
given word by Carranza officials that
they will not be nolested within
twenty-four hours after a declaration
of war between the United States and
Mexico, Holton said.
Men Heavily Armed.
The men were heavily armed. More
than 15,000 gallons of alcohol are
stored in the tanks adjacent to the
sugar refinery and every effort is be
ing made to ship this out of the coun
try. The sugar cane crop this year is
exceedingly large and as approximate
ly 3 2,000 Mexicans around Los Mochis
depend upon the operation of the re
fineries for a living the Carranza "au
thorities do not care to stop the mills
unless ordered by the first chief, ac
cording to Holton.
Mrs E. E. Watson, aged E, of New
York City, told a story of how. riding
in a caboose attached to a Mexican
Southern Pacific pay rrain. carrying
more than $145,000 in gold, she es
caped possible harm from bandits in
a wild ride from Ortiz to Empalme.
She said she no sooner had reached
Empalme when news came that Car
ranze soldiers had seized the railwaj
throughout northern Mexico.
Expect More Refusees.
More refugees will p.rrivo here from
Salina Cruz and Manzanillo on the
supply steamer Glacier early nei;t
week.
Many of the refugees landed here
by the Buffalo are penniless and they
were being cared for today by the San

the Endurance, left South Georgia on
January 10.
In his farewell message, cabled late
in October from Buenos Ayres. and
when the. Endurance sailed from that
port for the Antarctic region. Sir Er
nest made known that on arrival at
South Georgia, the geologists of the
staff would be landed to do scientific
work, while the ship proceeded south
to examine the pack ice and see if it
was loose enough to go into without
unnecessary delay.
After examining the pack the En
durance was to return to South Geor
gia, pick up the members of the ex
pedition and the dogs, then coal to her
fullest capacity and sail south again,
pushing right into the pack, keeping
as much to the east as possible In the
hope of meeting more open water than
probably could be found further west.
Shackleton added that Judging from
all reports he gathered tht It Mas a
very heavy ice season in tT.e Weddeli
sea. Apparently that has pi wed to
be the case.
The Endurance is equipped with a
powerful wireless receiver, with which
to receive messages from the Marconi
station in South Amerra, but it can
not transmit any.
WILSON TALKS TO N.E.A.
Tells Educators to Eliminate Useless
and Technical Grammar.
New York, July 5. H. B. Wilson,
superintendent of schools of Topeka.
Kan., spoke before the National Edu
cation association at Madison Square
Garden this morning on "The Need
of More Reality in the Teaching of
English' Composition and Grammar."
"Eliminate useless and technical
grammar," was the plea Wilson made.
"There is no greater waste in the
schoolroom than the greater part of
the study of grammar," he asserted.
"Cut out the technical grammar and
teach the children good usage from
the mistakes in language they hear
on the playground. Teach them good
usage from the language they hear in
the schof aom."
It is likely the N. E. A. will pass
resolutions favoring the elimination
of the merely technical and abstract
in the teaching of English composition
and grammar.
