BITTER FIGHT IN KANSAS
ON NONPARTISAN LEAGUE
Legion Men Seek to Drive Townley
From State
Sallna, Knn.. Jan. 10. (Hy A. P.)
Lines were drawn sharply here today
fl the contest arising over the entry
into Kansas of the Nonpartisan League
lovement. While A. V. Townley, heart
f the league, was conducting maw-
meetings, at another building repre-
stntatlves of American Legion pots
f ora all parts of the state, together
vith others opposing the movement,
were laying plans for a state-wide or
ganization to check the league's aetivl-
liea and bring about the departure from
the state of those behind It.
Plans of the opposition were not an
nounced definitely, but it was stated
that a campaign of "education" would
lie the basis and that the anti-league or
ganization would tlood the state with
iterature attacking the league's prin
tlples and its alleged unpatriotic con
duct of during the war. Today's league
p ogiam called for a day nfecting to be
followed by another tonight. Townley
and his assistants arrived here ten days

Cripples', Neglect
Laid to Congress
Continued from Turn One
service, under one bend, Dr. Sttmson
snld :
"Yes, the ndvantage of that is ap
parent) uftdAubtedly It would do much
to remedy the sltuntloh."
The Btystfm of rehabilitating dis
abled veterans Is denounced by the
American Leglfin rts a "fnilure," which
should be remedied by consolidating
under a single head the govern
ment agencies now engaged in thnt
work. This charge and the remedial
suggestion will be presented by the
legion to President Wilson, President
elect Harding and to every member
of both houses of Congress1 In n
inemorlnl directing attention to
the "suffering, shnmeftil neglect nnd
Injustice" which the legion asserts
innrks the administration of the affairs
of the war veterans.
Colonel F. W. Gnlbraith, Jr., na
tional commander of the legion, will
personally deliver n copy of the memo
rial to Seuntor Harding at Marlon,
where Colonel Gnlbraith has an ap
pointment to discuss with the President
elect the legion's program for tho dis
abled men.
Ine legion asserts In the memorial
that the function of the agencies
which now deal with the soldiers who
require tbeifr country's care,
"must be co-ordinnted, their machinery
decentralized nnd all three plated under
the common control.
Singlo Administrative Head Urged
"To do this," tho memorial says,
"there must be n new law which shnli
place the unified organization under n
single administrative head." For that
new organization, the legion asks nn
appropriation sufficient to buy, build,
equip and enlarge hospitals, sufficient to
provide facilities for all the men now
under hospital treatment. Dills provid
ing for that have been introduced in both
houses of Congress at the request of
the legion.
It is announced thdt the legion has
sent copies of the memorial to 3000
legion speakers in all states, who have
volunteered to endeavor to focus the
attention of the nation on the situation
of the disabled men.
The memorial asserts that the United
States has been more liberal than any
other nntion in its provisions for the
disabled soldiers, but that it has failed
In a large measure to make those pro
visions avnilable. That is attributed
to "an astonishing state of divided re
sponsibility and wasted effort among
the government agencies with which
the problem rents.
"In the rehabilitation of a dtsablcd
man there ore three needs medical
treatment, vocational training nnd finan
cial support," tho memorial proceeds.
"The government hns recognized the
three needs hut overlooks the fact that
they are the simultaneous needs of one
man. not of three different men. or ot
one mHn nt three different times. It
make's tlnee problems out of what really
ii one three part' problem.
"Continuing this faulty conception,
it has given the problem over to three
agencies. Kaeh of these agencies Is
an institution complete in itself. Each
is administratively independent of the
other two. All, by force of circum
stances, are exercising functions they
were not Intended to exercise. This
presents nn amazing spertnele of admin
istrative chaos, duplication, wusted
I'luTgy nnd conflict, which is the key to
the present condition.

AlMiiit Today's Winner
Today we have n modest author, al
though she's a highly-paid and suc
cessful one.
Miss Towii'end, who secured the
$100 for tlie best answer to limerick
No. 10, didn't think her line was good
enough to send in. In fact, she left II
lying around the house and sent it In
nt the Inst minute.
It wns tho first one she had an
swered, too, which makes her feat all
the more surprising. As n sure-fire,
rlght-off-tlu'-but llmeMeker it seems u
if she would almost qualify.
She is employed ns a stenographer
at the National Drug Co., 1070 Stenton
avenue, and a number of the other girls
have been answering the limericks
cverv day since they-started.
"Woi1 till they hear about this,"
she laughed. "Every girl In the office
will be sending in answers now. I'm
going to keep right on. too."
Miss ToWnsend Is going to "salt"

former home, London. She enmp to

Dr. Franzen Eagerly Receives Wife
Who Eloped With Frenchman
Chicago, Jan. 10. The romance of
Pierre Paul Anther, French war hero,
and Mrs. Charlotte Franzen, wife of
Dr. Phil Frauzcii, of the Unlveislty of
Wisconsin, has ended. And the hearts
that bled have been halcd.
The spectacular elopement of Auther
und Mm. Franzen left the country
gasping when the details were told. The
dashing Frenchman Is snld to have
taken Mrs. Franzen from her husband
at the point ot a pistol after hp had
invaded the cozy little home In Madison.
Wis., last Tuesday.
Mrs. Franzen admitted to her hus
band she loved the Frenchmnn mid
would go With him. They fled to St.
Louis, where they were nrrcsted and
returned to Chicago Saturday.
Unexpectedly the four principals
were brnufeht together. There was a
reconciliation.
Mrs. Auther agreed to drop charges
against her husband If he would return
to her. Mr. trnnzen snld lie would
take his Wife back if sho was willing to
come.
Everybody agreed, but Auther. The
dapper Frenchman wanted Mrs. Fran
zen. "(live me my Charlotte," he pleaded.
"She loves me as no other woman can."
Hut Mrs. Auther clung to him des
perately, Baying over nnd ovc again1.
"Pierre, I lovo you. I love you more
than sho does."
And Pierre was finally won over by
his wife.
Then the four agreed to sign some
legnl looking documents. They read:
"I love my wife and baby. In view
