4 GERMAN ARMY ENTERS LIEGE Fighting of Most Violent Char acter in the Streets. Invaders HaTe Been Unable to Take the Forts. FIGHTING WAS DESPERATE Whole Battalion of Germans Killed by Mine Explosion. Wounded to the Number of 1,200 Are Picked Up. BELGIANS TAKE 27 CAM German War Balloon Is Blown to Atoms by Gun Invented Especially for That Kind of Work. Paris, Aug. 7. Official reports re ceived here say the German troops have entered the Belgian city of Liege, but have not been able to take the forts. Fighting of the most violent charac ter took place In the streets. The Belgian troops have captured twenty-seven German cannon. London,' Aug. 7. A dispatch from Brussels to the Exchange Telegraph company today says the German troops attacking Liege have asked for an armistice of twenty-four hours. London, Aug. 7. The Daily Mail's Paris correspondent names three Bel gian fortresses, Liege, Namur and Huy, as seeming likely to hold a proud place in the history of the pres ent war, for they held back the head of the advancing German hostiles and have given the French army time in which to make up for the thirty hours disadvantage in mobilization which they suffered through Ger many's earlier preparations. It was never expet'.;d that Liege would offer any serious resistance, says the correspondent, yet lready it has stemmed the German onset for two precious days, and only today have two of Its ring forts fallen before the concentrated attack of the Ger man army. This partial success against forti fications thirty rears old was gained by the German's' light siege artillery. The Belgians falling back on Liege still resist stoutly, and a fierce re sistance may yet be made in the very streets of the modern city. Even when Liege falls Namur and Huy will carry on the resistance. Meanwhile the Belgian success has mightily en couraged the French, -who are now more than ever certain of victory. All Forts I nt net. The correspondent of the Daily News at Brussels sends the following dispatch: "All the forts surrounding Liege are intact. A Belgian airman thus des cribes the German attack on Liege: "After a terrible connonading .the German infantry approached en masse and reached the glacis of the forts where the heavy defensive guns were unable to reach them. General Leman sent artillery to a point where the invading infantry could be shelled and the Germans were swept from their position. This occurred several times during the day and night. "A patrol of Uhlans performed a re markable exDloit by riding into the town. Belgian officers recognized them as Germans and a desperate, fieht ensued. Several on each side were killed. "Red Cross automobiles arriving at Brussels report that the ground be fore the forts is covered with dead and wounded Germans." London. Aug. 7 (4 p. m.). An Ex change Telegraph company's dispatch from Brussels says the German troops at Liege acknowledged the loss of 25,000 men. The agency says this statement is official. Another dispatch to the. Exchange Telegraph company from Brussels says the French army has now entered .Bel gium and has advanced well Into the country. Censors for Wireless. Washington, Aug. 7. Secretary Daniels today instructed navy yard commandants to detail officers to wireless stations in their vicinity as censors. All messages or a neutral character will be transmitted, but no code messages will be received. This order will affect principally the Ger man owned stations at Sayville, L. I., and Tuckerton, N. J.

S j CrEKS JCTST 20 Democratic Senatorial Nominee Will Stump the State. President' Wilson to Aid Kansas Fight. in Congressman Geo. A. Neeley of Hutch inson, Democratic nominee for United States senator, spent several hours to day in conference with Democratic leaders in Topeka and discussed plana for his campaign against Curtis and Murdock for the senate. Ileeley will to depart for France. not return to Washington during the present session of congress. He will open his campaign about Aiust 20. It is probable that at an early meet ing of the state candidates, Neeley will urge the Immediate opening of state headquarters and will himself take an active part -in the organization of the state for the Democrats. When he re turned to the state from Washington several weeks ago he carried the as surance that President Wilson and oth er Democrats of national character would come west and assist in the fight to keep Kansas in the Democratic col- PluraUty 3,000, Says Neeley. Based on fr'gures from S3 of 105 counties in the state, Neeley this after noon claimed his nomination over Hugh P. FarreUy of Chanute by 3,000. "I believe my majority over Mr. Fo.r- relly will be 3,000," said Congressman Neeley. "It may not exceed 2,800, but I think it will be nearer 3,000. Prac tically all of the counties which have not reported will increase my lead." Asked concerning his plans for the campaign, the aeventh district con gressman said he would at once make arrangements to open the light. Headquarters in Topeka. "Mrs. Neeley and I expect to leave Hutchinson tomorrow night for Colo rado," he said. "We will drive through and may not be gone but three or four days. I will then come to Topeka and take up the matter of opening head quarters. I will conduct my campaign in connection with the state headquar ters, which will probably be opened August 15. My own headquarters will be in oonnsctioc with the state organ ization. By August Z0, I will be ready to open my campaign and stay in the fight until the finish." Asked if he. would return to Wash ington during the present session of congress. Congressman Neeley said he expected to remain in Kansas during the remainder of the campaign. "I want to go to the senate and I expect to go." said Neeley. "I realize that Kansas Is a Kenobllcan state and I eTect to devote my time to the cam paign and I expect to win." Who Is the Stronger? "Will It be necessary." In your Judg ment, to defeat Curtis or Murdock in the November election?''. -was asked of Neeley.' '.That is a question I am not pre- pared to answer at this tine,? was the reply. "I haven't considered sertous hr the relative strength of v the two candidates." Neeley declared tht he was not sur prised at tha nomination by the R nuhlirana of Charles Curtis for the senate or of W. A. Calderhead for con gress in the Fifth district. Tter crtppieu c-urus. "You could feel the Curtis senti ment in all parts of the state." said Neeley. "My only surprise is that he has not won by a greater plurality. In my judgment. Tucker drew a great deal of strength that would have ordi narily gone to Curtis, in tne r inn district, it was apparent that Calder head would win when I was there some time ago." v y j. Neeley, however, declined to dis cuss the possible strength of the Re publican party in its selection of Cur tis over Bristow. "We can tell mora about that situ ation in a few days after the people get their breath and view the results. was the reply. "But don't think we are not going to make the fight of our lives in Kansas," said Neeley. "Before I left Washing ton, President Wilson assured me he would come to Kansas during tb cam paign. Of course that was before the present shock in the White House through the death of Mrs. Wilson, but I still believe the president will come late in the campaign." In addition to President Wilson, Neeley has been assured by Senator Ollie James, W. J. Bryan and Postmas ter General Burleson that they woula aid in the fight to keep Kansas Demo cratic. If the president comes to Kan sas, it is probable that he will make a trip through the state in a special train and will speak in Topeka, Kansas City, Wichita and Hutchinson, with perhaps several speeches from the rear platform of his train. Congressman Neeley returned, to Hutchinson this afternoon. "I wish," he said, "that you would thank the several thousand good fel lows and their wives who carried the burden for me. Tuesday. They saved my bacon. It was a great fight all the time and I realized all along that FarreUy was the man I had to beat. For that reason, I paid but lit tle attention to anyone else."

Pluralities tabulated by the State' Journal this afternoon from in dependent reports from 96 of the 105 counties, give Curtis a lead over Bris tow of 3,676, while Neeley leads Far reUy by 2,701. In the Fourth district. It is oulte cer tain that the official count will be nec essary to decide the Martindale-Carroll contest for Republican congressional nomination. The fight in the Third is between McGinley of. Crawford and Hudson of Neosho for Democratic nomination.

RESIDENT WAS F30STRATED He Broke Down Entirely When His Wife Bled. Thoughtful of Her Husband's Welfare to the Last. Washington, An. 7. Mrs. Wood row Wilson, wife of the president of the United States, died. at the White House at 5 o'clock, last evening; of a complication of disease. The end came after two serious inking spells. The president and ber three daughters and Francis B. Sayre were at the bedside- at the end. The president was completely pros trated when his wife died, and broke down entirely. When Secretary Tu multy entered the executive offices to tell the waiting' newspaper men his cheeks were ithed in tears, i Congress Adjourns. Both' houses of congress adjourned when- 'Mrs.- Wilson's death was an nounced, and for a brief time the wheels of the- government practically stopped. Durh. the day Mrs. Wllsen spoke to Dr. Grayson about tLe president, whose health she' thought more about than shs did of her Own. "Promise me," she whispered falnt 1;, "that if I go, you wM take care of my husband f It was the same touch of devotion which she ad so many time- repeated her constant anxiety having -been that the president might not worry about her or be disturbed In his offclal tasks. Vice President I arshall and mem bers of the cabinet and the leaders in congress were notified. Both houses promptly adjourned. The flag on the White House was draped, gates were closed and the silence of death spread over the White House for the first time since 1892, when Mrs. Benjamin Harri son died." Members of the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, members of, the diplomatic corps telephoned their con dolences end sent cards. From many humble homes came flowers, as Mrs. Wilson had made many friends in the slums and city generally In her en deavors to help the friendless and poverty stricken. Interested In Social Welfare. She had told the president she would more cheerfully "go away" if the bill for the Improvement of alleys were passed by congress. A word to leaders from Secretary Tumulty and the measure was adopted In silence by the senate and soon reported in the house, where it will be passed. She learned that the measure would be a law in another day or so and ex pressed her satisfaction. She had be come deeply interested in the social welfare of the community and had worked in ways without seeking the aid of the president. It was the strain of this, the duties of entertainment and the kidney trouble which became chronic last autumn that sapped her life. Mrs. Wilson took an active Interest in the career of her husband, in his contests with congress over legislation and the numerous official duties with which he was burdened. Throughout life, she has been his constant help mate and companion. Her clear Judg ment of political affairs and broad views of educational questions had been a source of gratification to him for years. With her help, he wrote his books and cn her judgment he re lied. Her devotion to him, according to those who have known the family Intimately, was of remarkable depth. Her one thought was of him. Kvery mornirg and evening during ner mness sne cautioned Dr. Grayson not to tell the president if she had spent an uncomfortable hour. Her anxiety was that he should not be worried or disturbed. However nain- ful was her suffering, it was her one aim to keep the president from being affected by her condition. But the president watched her sorrowfully for weens ana reauzea mat sne was slow ly growing worse. He spent everv moment h nnM w her side and when he was not there she was constantly calling for or speaking or him. Modest In Her Tastes. Mrs. Wilson was a woman of Sim pie ways, possessed of a naive, mag netic manner. She had a faculty of putting her guests promptly at ease ana was a charming hostess. She was ever democratic and modest in her tastes. Mrs. Wilson had been ill since last February, when she fell in the White House and strained- her. rtn ah. later practically recovered from that injury, but in the meantime kidney trouble set In and gradually she grew wearies. About two months ago her condi tion began to grow serious, and two weeks ago Doctor Grayson became alarmed. Noted specialists were called In and trained nurses were kept In constant attendance. She continued to grow worse, however,' until serious sinking spells came on Monday and Tuesday. Mra WUson was 60 years old, and when she came to the White House was in robust health. Always a home lover, she nevertheless immediately assumed the arduous duties of the wife of a president. She took an ac tive Interest in public affairs nri fre quently received delegations calling ui. yrmmcni wnen ne was too 1 busy with other matters. Even dur ing her last i: ..ess she frequently asked to be Informed of the events or the United States and the world. Sketch of Her Life. Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise Axson, daughter of a Presbyterian clergyman, and was born at 8avannah, Ga. She waa a student at the New Tork Art league when she met Mr. Wilson, who was then taking a post graduate course at Johns Hopkins university. The- president and Mrs. Wilson were married June 24. 1885. Mrs. Wilson was a sister- of Prof. Stockton Axson; head of the depart ment of English literature at Prince ton university, and of the wife of Dean Edward Elliot of Princeton. A landscape gardener of, recognised ability, ana a painter or equal note, Mrs. Wilson devoted much of ber time to artistic subjects. 8he took direct chars ot the gardens at "Prospect' during Mr.- Wilson's career as presi dent of Princeton university, and also of tha White Hnnu nnhni. Having passed much of her time outdoors, she I u?.o uuu l.ig aifiicaiaic called "an outdoors woman." Her win was smooth and girlish, and her eyes. until recently,, sparkled with neaitn. Her hair was soft, brown and avy, and she was of medium height. She was known as a beautiful woman. Mrs. Wilson's indoor life has been oe- voted to books and artistic pursuits. Her paintings have been placed cn ex hibition in New Tork. Philadelphia and Washington, and they have taken prises In competitions. Her social obligations forced her to omit some or ner ac customed artistic and literary recrea tions after she became mistress of the White House, but. as "the first tody of the land." she was ever ready with ad vice and material help, including re sponses to demands on her time, wherever a good cause be served. She had a knowledge of the domestic art, and was a good cook. Tt Is re lated of her that she liked to prepare dishes, or have them prepared under her personal supervision, for the presi dent, and that she always made tt a point to prepare for him the orange juice he has with his breakfast. I SITUATIOIl IS CETTEI1, The Condition of Americans Abroad Has Improved. MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE. They Pour In on the President From Ail (quarters. Waahlnrton. Auk. 7. Messages from every part of the united States and from attroad poured Into the White. House today bearing the sympathetic expressions of thousands for President Wilson and his daughters on the death of Mrs. Wilson. Funeral arrangements had not been completed early today but it was cer tain that the burial would be either at Rome, .Ga., the girlhood home of the president's wife, or at Princeton, N. J. It was regarded as probable that the funeral services would be simple and that only the family and close friends and relatives would be invited. Bearing up well under his deep grief, the president .went to his desk early to day to sign a few important papers but returned Immediately to the White House, where 'the flag fluttered at half mast and the shades at the windows were drawn. Gates to the grounds were closed, only the most pressing business was transacted at the executive offices, and attaches and servants, all of whom Mrs. .Wilson knew personally, showed deep grief. A procession of carriages bringing cards and callers from the official and Washington, Aug. 7. General im Amerlcans abroad was shown here In Americans abroad, was shown today in official dispatches to the state depart ment, urgent appeals for transporta tion, however, continued.

Code Messages Sent From Sayville to German Warships. New York. Aug. 7. Although Presi dent Wilson hati issued an order pro hibiting wireless stations In the United States from transmitting messages of an unneutral nature, the Atlantic Communication company's powerful tower at Sayville, L. I., -sent several messages in code to German warships lying off the coast. These messages, according to a German employee of the company, were received from the cable offices of the Postal Telegraph company and the Western Union -Telegraph company in this city. Others were received from a persoh in New Tork. it was said. The manager of the company. member of the naval reserves of Ger many, said he had read In the new diplomatic circles, circled around the 'papers, that President Wilson had is White House offices.

WILL STAY III MEXICO Withdrawal of Warships Does Mean Retirement.' Not Washington, Aug. 7. Withdrawal of some American warships from Mexi can waters is not the result of any development in Mexico but a desire to bring them Into use In connection with" the observance of neutrality. This was announced here by Secretary Daniels after reports were circulated thit General Carranza, the constitu tionalist chief, had reauested the United States to withdraw its land and naval forces from Vera Crus. It has been decided to retain Amer ican forces. at Vera Crus until a stable administration has been set up In Mexico City which could be recognised and Carranza has been so Informed.

Charley White Is going to. use every punch he has in his makeup against Joe Asevedo when they get into action la the Blghth -street arena Friday evening. White Is very anxious to knock the little Por tuguese boy out and if he fails in his efforts it can be taken for granted that Joe. Is simply too tough, for White is not going to spare him. .Tha nova finished ud their training grind Thursday afternoon and if the statements emanating from the respec tive camps can be relied upon, each Is la perfect physical condition. Asevedo will enter the ring weighing 133 pounds and White, who has taken weight since he fought WUlie Ritchie ia Milwaukee. will be leas than a pound unaer tne lightweight limit. White Is held a t to 1 favorite In the betting, with even money that he wins Inside of eighteen rounds. "It's a tough job picking the rounds." said White today. "Maybe I can knock him out in two, and maybe It will take me nineteen. But Just leave it to me to try. I'm not going to overlook any chances. My Chicago friends are not giving Asevedo the credit that's coming to him. He's a tougher fellow tnan Ritchie to fight and, believe me, 1 know because I have fought both of them and the old experience is what counts." Asevedo is a slow starter and a very vicious fighter. Nobody ever doubted his gameness, but most of them have been in the habit of anulng fault wnn his style of playing the game too safe. "Joe is going in this time." said Man ager Jimmy Rohan. "He will carry the fight right to White and he will show him up, too. Mark what I am telling you. This boy never had a good chance, but bis time has finally come. He held White safe once and he knows how to fight him. White's reputation is not -bothering this kid of mine in the least." According to Manager Nate Lewis. Promoter Coffroth has made Freddie Walsh an offer for a twenty round bout with White on Thanksgiving day. "I cannot ascertain what the offer Is," said Lewis, "but Coffroth assures me It will be satisfactory to Welsh in view of the fact that war Is making it hard for Welsh to get any monaOn England. I think the only hltchWtll be the fact that Welsh has expressed a desire to first engage White Jn-a ten round bout at Milwaukee If hwi will give him a satisfactory purse. "McCarey wants White badly for Riv ers on Labor day, and Coffroth wants White and Murphy for the same date."

The teams were permitted to use the Western League grounds while the Cooleyites were in Emporia 'glto play Ira Bridwell'a club of the Kan- La Flambols day. This was the first game to be played in Topeka '-y Jack Johnson dub, which he recently organised. The proposed league for colored players is not en tirely complete. Johnson's club showed lots of baseball ability and displayed considerable comedy on the coaching lines. The College Bill Bakery club scored live runs In the first Inning off Harri son's delivery, but the latter settled down after that and pitched good ball. Stewart, pitching for the College Hill Bakery club, was ineffective in the sec ond inning and the colored men- scored lour runs onr nis delivery. He pitched good ball during the remainder of the game. Spencer Arthur Abbott played first base for Henderson's club and is credited with a single In three times at bat. He was up four times but drew one pass. Jack Johnson played right field for his own club- and is credited with a triple in the sixth inning.

The, Sporting- News correspondent In New York says the following concerning him "William Klein admittedly Is the beet umpire in Tenors League, but there'll be another star judge of play soon) In the person of Quigley. who made a-big hit with New Yorkers during the Pirates' series. Quigley's best qualities are quickness In Judgment, a splendid; voice, dignity and nnnness.

I j I One Visit Will Decide the Question If you are ill, if you suffer from chronic disorders and you will take :he time to come to the United Doctors specialists, one thorough exam nation and consultation will decide whether your case is a curable one. xney will tell you directly and positively what their treatment will cost you. It is up to you then to decide whether you want the most scientific treatment it is possible to obtain in Topeka. There may be people who will criticise the United Doctors because they choose to deal fairly and frankly, tell you Just exactly what they can do and what that service will cost you. These specialists choose to call your attention to their claims, to the experience and training of the specialists, to the modern equipment and scientific service you can obtain here, through the pubUc press. We leave the strong recommendations and praises to those who have come to the United Doctors and have been cured, yes CURED. When you come to these specialists to consult or for examination, they will refer you to people who will gladly tell you just exactly what the United Doctors have done for them. Nothing to Hide The United Doctors boast a practice among the best people In the state. They will not stoop to questionable practice. No blot or stain of doubtful methods have ever been laid at their door For nearly six years, the United Doctors have been located in To peka, each year adding long lists of friends to those they already have. Do you want to place your case in the hands of men with such repu tations? Men who expect to remain permanently In the city where they are easily accessible, are certain to give more conscientious ser vice than that which might be given you in some far distant city. Diseases They Treat The United Doctors treat only curable cases of dyspepsia, catarrh, chronic diseases of the stomach, kidneys, liver, blood and pelvic organs! Piles Cured .or Every Cent of Your Money Will Be Returned The United Doctors' method of treating piles is unquestionably suc cessful. You do not have to go to a hospital, you do not have to un dergo a serious operation. Their system of applying the treatment is r mild, yet effective, and only the time required to come to the office to be treated will be taken from your regular work. You will find, upon -examination and investigation, that the expense of coming to the United Doctors and receiving the treatment will be far less and the service vastly more satisfactory than going to some city of the East, away from home, on constant expense while away and the higher charges demanded by the specialists elsewhere. And remember, the United Doctors give you a written guarantee to cure plies or return everv penny you have paid them for the treatment. UNITED DOCTORS Of f ices.

News from abroad indicates that civilized warfare is more horrible than any other variety. It would be interesting to know whether the emperor of Germany sleeps well these nights.' i There are also some needy Ameri cans at home who could use assistance from the government very nicely. And the sympathy of the whole na tion goes out to President Wilson in this, his hour st greatest trouble. Germany's emperor is likely to find out that ruling by "divine right" does not assure divine assistance in waging an unholy war. Those who count the ballots cast at the primaries and elections in Kansas must be enormously large bodies, they move so slowly. What a lot of bloodshed could have been saved, suggests the Washington Post, if Noah had left himself and family out of the ark. Emperor William should have de layed the war until the winter time. Then the suffering incident to It would have' been more acute and Intense. Plucky little Belgium! Here's hoping that she will be able to withstand the rushes of the Teutons until her allies and friends can get to her assistance. This European war will also make it most convenient for an indefinite post ponement of the proposed attempt to fly the hydroaeroplane, America, across the Atlantic. Successful candidates at the 'pri maries would confer a great boon on a long-suffering public If they delayed the beginning of thejr election cam paigns for a full six weeks or so. Don't let your excitement over the war and politics make you forget to boost on every possible occasion for the Topeka fair that opens its gates on September 14. It's going to be a great one. Great enthusiasm in the German army, no doubt, because the kaiser has renewed the Order of the Iron Cross, which is conferred on soldiers and officers who render conspicuous service In action. r With Villa making ready to stage a revolution against Carranza and the Constitutionalirts who havelven him the cold shoulder, the peace that was to prevail in Mexico seems to be in the dim distant future. Presumably, there are countless Americans stranded In different parts of their own country who would ap predate the assistance of thefederal government in making it to their homes in other and distant sections of the land. Will they get it? Prob ably not, while the walking is good. The Americans who can afford to travel in Europe, though, and who happen to get stranded there in time of war, are likely to be most influen tial citizens at home. Hence the solicitude of the politicians in office to extend them all possible aid tn their dilemma. Emperor William's attempt to shift the blame for the war on the shoulders of Russia and France may appease his people for the time being, and cause them to bear more willingly the bur dens that have been thrust upon them, but that part of the world which Is watching the struggle from the side lines is not likely to be Impressed with the adequacy of the German emperor's explanations. It was his attitude to wards the supposedly neutral territory of Belgium tha. dragged England Into the fray, and. bis rush into France before a declaration of war between France and Germany does not look like, ho u the aggrieved, party.; BRMTOWS DEFEAT. Playing fast and loos with a po Utlcal party nets, as It should, the aame results tnat follow similar activi ties in any other field of human en deavor. That's the chief reason why senator Briatow has been defeated ao convincingly, as the primary re turns Indicate, by ex-Senator Curtis for a renoml nation aa the Republican United 8tates senatorial candidate in this state. Nominated and elected to the United States senate by the Republican par ty. Senator Briatow oh his arrival at Washington evidently discovered that the representatives of his party in the senate and the house were not dis charging their obligations In a manner satisfactory to him. So he proceeded to align himself against them, and used 'his voice and his vote on every possible occasion to put the Republi can party in a hole. He and other similarly constituted Republicans in the senate did such a good Job at dig ging this hole with the assistance of the Republican insurgents in the house of representatives, that the Re publican majority in the house was buried in it and the Democrats given control of the house a full two years before the advent of Woodrow Wilson. This practically annulled Republican rule during the last two years of the Taft administration. And then came the division in the Republican party over the presidential nomination in 112, and the organization of the Pro gressive party. Senator Bristow came to be consid ered one of the most loyal suDnortera of the BuU Moose Third party that destroyed for the time being the force of .the Republican party in Kansas and the nation aa well. As this move ment began to disintegrate, there was quandary as to which way Mr. Bristow would Jump again. His friends In the Progressive party were sure he would stay with them and he seemed to bo their logical candidate for the United States senate. But at the psychological moment Senator Bristow deserted his hew love 'for the old and announced his 'candidacy for the Republican United States senatorial nomination. He and his friends rather intimated that he had never left the Republi can party. But there. wasn't much cheering among the Republican hosts' over the renewed activities of Mr. Bristow as one of them in his quest of a renomlnation for the United States senate. .-And this lack of enthu siasm seems to have been perfectly Justified by the veiled threat made by Mr; Bristow last week that he was of a. mind to bolt the Republican party again should the nomination he sought go- to ex-Senator Curtis, or at least that in this contingency he would not be active in the support of the candi dates of the Republican party in the forthcoming campaign. This was con sidered evidence that Mr. Bristow had merely reaffillated with the Republi can party for such personal political profit that he might obtain from it along with an apparent conviction that the Progressive party as a party was about dead and the belief that reform could bo best secured through the Re publican party. Under all of these circumstances, it is no wonder that the Republicans of Kansas, who are generally most loyal to their party and believe In Its pur poses and policies, denied to Mr. Bris tow the honor that he sought at their hands, and especially in view of the fact that In ex-Senator Curtis they had a candidate for the senatorial nomination whose Republicanism and fealty to the party Is not and never has been open to question. In this day of grace a man must play the political game fairly It he hopes to win. And it would appear that Joseph I Bristow of Salina has been accorded no more nor no less than he has courted. Senator Bristow Is a- conscientious. hard working, industrious man of un questioned integrity. His .'long resi dence in Kansas and. activities in this state and Washington hove earned him this reputation. He Is, nevertheless, a political, eccentric. Whether his political usefulness is over or. not depends largely upon his future action. Having gone into the Republican pri mary to contest the nomination with former Senator Charles Curtis, Major Harvey and H. H. Tucker, It was the duty of Senator Bristow to abide by that decision and support any honorable man who as nominated. To give the public to n-derstand, as he did a few days before the election, that if Senator Curtis should be nominated he would bolt him anU not support htm, was hardly straight politics, although many statesmen consider this sort of thing permissible. Whatever effect It may have upon the individual concerned, it certainly Is a thing which, if carried out by candidates generally, would result In the destruction of political parties. Great Interest is now felt in the question whether Senator Bristow will actually carry' out' his Intimated threat of not supporting the nominee of the Republican state primaries for United States senator, or get into the harness and pull with his fellow polit ical workers, whose party he not only said he had returned to. but which he even denied he had ever left.. Senator Bristow, while he has knifed the Republican party as a party in the United States senate and elsewhere. has nevertheless done a large amount of creditable work and many vital. Im portant acts of congress bear Bristow mark and service. DIVERSE VIEWS OF OMAR. The popular conception of Omar Khayyam, at s Mr. Eben Francis Thompson of the Worcester Masa) bardn the August Case and Comment, the lawyers' magazine, is that of a bearded profligate, cup in hand, wr rounded by bis companions of the Kharabat, or seated with some fair one by the side of a flowing stream. The more Intimate and serious opin ion concerning the astronomer-poet seems to depend largely upon the viewpoint or tne writer, so that a most, startling variety of mom ripen the subject have found expression in print. Jn the whole range of Persiaa literature, no poet holds so peculiar a position: Is '-Jo widely known or has occasioned such diverse criticism. Be cause of his ovt rtopplng scientific at tainments, ho waa laaeed rather mm a mathematician and philosopher, than aa a poet, by earlier writers. Ho has been variously viewed as aa atheist and materialist: a pantheist: a 8uff of fluffs; a freethinker: a contem plator of the Infinite; a man of learn lng; an ortho'.ox Mussulman: a blas phemer: an epicurean skeptic: a pro found student of human nature, and one wholly rapt in things divine. These different opinions may be ac counted for In part by Omar's consist ent inconsistency, arising from the various experiences and moods of a long life devoted to the contemplation of a wide range of subjects: in part by the attribution to him of views which he doubtless never entertained or expressed: In part by the bias of his critics or .apologists; and largely by that quality of universality which is an attribute of great thinkers and writers. Just as Shakespeare, of Stratford, was thought to have been a lawyer or to have had any on of a dozen occupations by those who studied him In vacuo, and not with relation to his times and surround ings, so Khayyam has assumed vary ing shapes according to the observers viewpoint. That he waa neither athe ist nor materlalls: Is the most authori tative opinion. Journal Entries The man doing the talking insists he works the hardest.. And the man who thinks he knows more than anybody els is not a rare specimen. There always seems to be more at tractions about the prises the other fellow wins.

An exchange, notes the Troy Chief, tells of a poor dovil who arrived In town the other day "and didn't have the nrlce of a bed." Another item in k tells how some of the best families are "sleeping in their yards." And the Chief thinks, probably they gave "the poor devil" their bed.

I did not turn quickly enough, however, and the collision awoke the sturgeon which I had at first taken for a log. I reached for a boat-hook and tried to spear him,. but he only raised his haail s iitti l.mrli.ri dove from sight. Quickly grasping the brass from the bow of the yacht I baited it in feverish excitement with a couple of hams from the galley and attaching an empty beer barrel to the caote lor a Dobber. I threw my tackle overboard and anxiously .awaited a bite. In a few. moments my nrev be gan to nibble, and I then tied the end ci tne cable to the capstan and grasped the tiller.

My small nephew came home the other morning from an errand on which .his mother had sent him, limp ing painfully. His foot, he explained, was very sore, and the long walk had been too much for it. He lay down on the couch and gra ciously permitted his mother to see the sore spot which consisted of a small stone bruise. When he put oh his stocking again it was with the grimace of one who is trying to bear up under unoearaDie pain. That same afternoon I saw nur small nephew with two older boys. This time he was not limping but striding proud ly along carrying a pail. We stopped to parley. "Where have you been?" I asked. "To Berry Hill." he said, "to pick Diueoernee. Bee all we picked! We're going to sell them and go to the movies tonight," He had two quarts of berries. Berry Hill is at least a mile away and the "movie" are the same distance in another direction. "But your foot." I said; "how could you walk so far? Doesn't it hurt you?" He looked a bit shamefaced for a minute, but recovered rapidly. "Oh, that's much better," he patronizingly explained. "I guess it's going to get well." No. my small nenhew Is not a hypo crite and I'm not writing this to show nun up. On the contrary, I don't doubt in the least that his foot hurt him on the er rand and didn't hurt him when he was having a good time.- It seems to me that this little Incident is an excellent illustration of the powerful influences of psychological conditions upon work. Many people are inclined to under rate this psychological influence, to call It Imagination and to refuse to reckon with it. This is a great mis take. The mac or woman who is real ly trying to understand other men and women does not make it," For instance the efficiency engineer studies the psychological conditions just as careiuliy as be does tne pnys ical. "The motion of a bricklayer working upon the wall of a church differing' from his own religion," writes Frederick Taylor, "are often vastly different from those that he is careful to make when the congregation to occupy it coincide with his own be lief." Again he declares, "The contented worker does not require so large a per centage of rest for overcoming fa tigue." You see, this man realises that psychological influences are facts, not to be sneered at or ridden rough shod over, but .to ?e, reckoned with and utilised. What he does with peasure. the average person does more. easily and more successfully.' -Whatever he dis likes to do he does painfully and prob ably poorly, not because he deliber ately intends tor put because it's na ture. We cannot always be doing the things we enjoy. I don't mean to sug gest that. I merely offer these in stances as facts which It Is worth while remembering in -our relatione whs outer men especially children. fV''i PAH IJf QoatVfootVaad Sbeggy-leg, yon who led the daaee witn ma Up the hills, down the dells, through the summer glades.

Later Molly had been sent to a fashionable school In his own .city, and they had met often at the home of the Meagers. who had been friends of Mol ly's uncle. It seemed that something more uan cnanee arranged, their meetings. They fell desperately in love with each other in spite of the fact that Molly was absolutely forbid den to marry anybody but the mys terious person named in the will upon pain of forfeiting every penny of the fortune. c Suddenly ho spoke. "Molly, you must not throw yourself away upon a poor fellow like me. I can't let you do it.

"She Is at the end of her string. Miss Molly," said the doctor. "A life of hard work has worn her out.- She needs pampering and coddling about a year of it. If she could travel when she's able to be round a bit it would puf new life Into her. Any place she wants to go. Just needs' petting more than any thing else. Do you think I am pre scribing medicine that is too rich?" he asked gently. Molly's face had gone deathly white. She knew her aunt had. almost no money.

It was for her to decide then what should be done with the millions of dollars in the will. Now her aunt who. had befriend ed her, and had taken the place of her parents for years, was sick and in want! She shut her eyes, swaying slightly. In an instant, her decision was made. "She shall have anything she need a. doctor. She can travel (or years If she likes. Im- going to take her away from here as soon as she Is able to go."

"Get on." said the Gnome, who did aU the talking. Peter did as he was told. As quick as a flash all the little men sprang up after him. They march ed on the head of the horse and clung to ma mane ana nung to ms legs: in fact, Peter could not see the horse at all. The little men were as thick aa rues. Away flew the horse, for he did not walk, as Peter soon discovered, and looking down he saw a tiny pair of wings on each of Its feet. They landed on the ton of a moun tain and the Gnome told Peter to dis mount. "You must go to that cave you see Just below." said the Gnome, "ana there you will find the giant. You must find some way to get his boots." reter ran down the mountain to the door of the cave without thinking what he should do when he got there. wnat is tnat I near?" said a voice which sounded to Peter like thunder. "Please, sir. I want a 'drink ot iter." said Peter, not knowing what else to say. "Where did yon come from? asked the giant. "I came up the mountain to see you." said Peter. "Well, what do you think of me. now you have seen me?" asked the giant. "I think you are the biggest man I ever saw. and I did not think any one could grow to be so large. I wish I could grow to be as big as you are." "uo you?" asked the giant. "Well that gives me an idea, .Come In here."

This may be challenged by those who .listen to the humming, the droning or the strident scrapings of the Insects and who hear, the occasional calls and scoldings of the birds., But August to nature's silent month none the, less. The winds rest in August. The time of the singing of -birds is gone save for the music now and then of the song sparrow, which can't keep sflet.t. and the more or less continuous sing ing of the ovenbird and the red-eyed vlreo. The fields and the forests are silent places in this midsummer month. The birds retire to the road side thickets or to the depths of the woods. It is the month of trouble for bird life. From the eagle to the hum ming bird the pain runs. It la the molting season, and molting is no pleasant procesa There are only two or three birds which have the grit to sing when pain grips them. August ushers in the fall, altho the almanae will not admit it. Late In the month the sumac begins to blase and the first red and yellow show in the leaves of maple and beech. The migration aV. .a.

There are in Canton about 40 shops which make and sell, ivory articles. Each store is small, consisting usually of a showroom open to the street and a back room, where the cutting is done. Members of the store also usually work in the showroom. The industry may be divided into two stages, cutting and carving. Tusks imported from Slam constitute the raw material. These are first cut with a saw to the sliape capable of being worked up by carving. The cutting apparatus consists of a wooden block or vise, a saw, and a tub of water. The ivory Is secured firmly by the vise, moistened with water, and cut to the required shape. Perfectly flat pieces of ivory nearly as thin as paper were shown in evi dence of the skill of the cutter. The cutting finished, the blocks are then carved Into shape with knives of many different shape. These have a short blade and a long handle made of bam boo, like a penholder. Other instru ments noted to be in use by the car vers were wire saws and a gimlet worked by a leather twirling appara tus. The number of expert workers In Canton is far less than the number of stores, being only about six In number. The term of apprenticeship served by the experts is four years. An appren tice receives no wages, but gets $4 Canton currency as "shoe money" at the end of the first year, $5 at the end of the second year, $6 at the end of the third year, and $7 at the end of the fourth year, which is all the compensation he receives. A good worker gets S7 to $8 Canton currency per month. Canton currency silver money is about half the equivalent of gold.

He generally works in his own house and can earn about 120 Canton currency a month. The working hours are from 7 a. m. to 9:30 p. m., with intermissions from 9:30 to 10:80 for morning meal. 1:30 to 2 for lunch ic a tea shop, and 8:30 to 7:3fft for Knnlnv mAl In All. ttn hours a day.

The annual catch of polar bears is decreasing every year, because these animals are now being hunted about twice or three times as much as they were 30 or 40 years ago, says iren Hagenbeck, in the Zoological Society Bulletin. From Tromsoe, alone. 61 ves sels outfitted for Spltzbergen and East Greenland In 1913; and besides other things they have brought back seven live polar bears. 125 dead ones, and 200 i Pmintinff ths vMuiels: leavlne rviiAuw. v p from Hammerfest, Wadsoe, and a few less Important towns also, aoout iwi vessels left Europe in 1913 for the pur pose of the capture of northern ani mals. Many of these vessels are pro vided now with motorboats. so as to be able to pepetrate Into the Ice. In former years there were two to three large urists vessels leaving the port of Tromsoe for the purpose of hunting polar bears. Usually they were hired by rich Englishmen, Germans, or Austrians, and brought back from 40 to CO polar bears shot within five or six weeks' time. During the last few years the capture of polar bears near the east coast of Greenland baa so greatly decreased that in 1912 only one vessel with tour ists was sent there. The other vessels are lying idle, and it Is not worth while to equip them. Since 1890 a number of bear hunters from Tromsoe and Hammerfest nave established hunting stations for the winter m nths oi- the Spitsbergen Islands. They consist of wooden hous es, located at a distance of 100 or 200 kilometers t orn each other, and there are either two or three men at each station. These men set traps, and also lay out poisoned meat or seal's bacon. One must reckon, however, that fully one-half of the animals killed through poison in this way are lost, as the polar bear has the habit of drawing near i II Sottas!

As a check on this deadly commercial pursuit, during the last three years the Norwegian government has prohibited the killing of polar bears by poison in the Spltzbergen Islands. Unfortunately, however, as the land belongs to no body, the hunters generally do not care for this, for there is no police author ity on the spot to control them. During the last three years there have been comparatively few skins of polar bears at Tromsoe and Hammer fest. although those cities are the prin cipal markets for them. As It Is known with certainty that the polar bear wan ders, it may be possible that It again exists at the old capture places, so that a larger number may be caught again. ut it is very doubtful. One thing is sure, however, and that is that the po tar bear Is far less numerous now on the east -coast of Greenland and Spits bergen than was the case between lttO and 1890. Forest and Stream.

CEGAIl AOf EIlTlicS Utlit (Continued From Page Cue.) 'forts of Liege withstood the deaaiy fire of Krupp suns, the assaults of the best and bravest Infantry of the Ger- man army, and the various forms of attacks of the German masters of war. The fighting was desperate and Whole battalions 01 lniamry Almost immediately a -ennan aero piano rose and made cir attempt to fly over the main fortress of Liege. The Huy gunner, after a few trials broushr it down also. A third encounter between airmen oc curred during the day. Belgian and German aviators doing scout duty met S00 feet above the earth and engaged in a pistol duel. Endeavoring to get into closer range the two airmen brought their machines into collision and both were wrecked. It is understood the Belgian escaped uninjured. French aviators arriving in advance of the French roops are now Joinin? and whole squadrons of cavalry were j the forces with .the Belgian airmen and utterly blotted out in cnarge. auu together they promise to play an tm counter charge. The bravery of tne.portant part Jn the big Dau.e which is nam n trnnrm in their repeaiea as saults was matched only by the brav ery of the Belgalna. who met every charge and when it had been repulsed made a counter charge. Two of the outer forts have been taken by the Germans. Taken at an appalling loss, taken in a hand to hand .fight with bayonets and clubbed rifles after hours of terrible cannonading but finally taken. The Belgians are laying mines and erecting barbed Wirt- entanglements, planting machine guns where they command approaches to the inner forts and preparing for a struggle which, every one feels, will be worse than the one gone by. The capture of the two outer forts was an exhibition of pluck and brav ery on both sides. The Belgians fought their guns until the German, artillery had disabled them. Instead of falling back the Belgians stood by their silent guns and when the Ger mans charged the Belgians met them with bayonets and clubbed rifles. Belgians Have Done Their Work. It is a question how much longer the other forts of Liege can hold out unless the French come quickly to their aid. But their stubborn stand has done its work. It was meant, from the first, to delay rather than to give any actual defeat to the advancing army. If the Germans should pour over the breastworks in the morning and take the city they would find, in stead of a clear, open and easy road Into the undefended northern prov inces of France, in striking distance of Paris, an entrenched camp only 20 miles away, which they will find even harder to take than has been Liege. For, while the Belgian army of 25,000 has been .fighting at Liege, oth er forces have been entrenching them selves at Namur, twenty miles up the Meuse river, mounting heavy guns, laying mines, and preparing for an other stand which will still further delay- the Germans. Fifty thousand French are also reported to be on the way to Namur to Join the Belgians, and it is known that General Lunier, commander of the French northern division, has now concentrated his men where he can hurl an immense army into the field at any moment. Germans Are Enraged. It is this delay which enrages the Germans past endurance. The plans of the German general staff has been to march rapidly through Belgium and Into France, seize the northern cities and sweep down on Paris before the French could assemble their army. But Belgium denied them passage and when they undertook to force it they nave fought so savagely that the Ger mans have not advanced a foot in three days. And now France is ready. Moreover the Belgian blood is up, and the Belgians will fight side by side with the French in the decisive battle to come, which is expected in the next ten days. Moreover what had been looked on at first as a mere skirmish and a matter of no moment, has now developed into a really important fight, in which the Germans have lost valuable men and used up vast quantities of stores and ammunition, and they may not be able to go on at once even if Liege falls. And if they have to pause to recoup and revictual at Liege they will meet all the more stubborn resistance when they do move. The Germans are savage at the unex pected resistance, and their attacks are delivered w.ih desperate bravery. Another of Germany's large and cost ly war dirigible balloons, carrying a crew of twenty-six men was blown to atoms by a Belgian gunner when it tried to pass over the fortifications of the Huy Plateau, apparently with the Intent of dropping bombs. The Belgians have invented a gun especially for dirigibles and the mo ment the big air craft headed over the fort the gunners began trying their hand on it. It was successful. An ex plosive shell tore through the gas en velope, which exploded, and the entire crew, mangled and burned, fell to the earth to come. The Belgian authorities Is sued an order permitting French avi ators to fly over Belgian territory but ordering all German aviators who are caught to be shot. Still Holding Oat. News received from Liege in the night showed that the fortret- was still holding out. It was being bombarded by heavy hells but was still undam aged, while the Belgian fire was work ing havoc among the Germans. It is reported that French forces are in creasing from several directions. After having suffered a serious check and heavy casualties at the hands of the Belgians at Liege, on Wednesday. the German troops returned to the fray with redoubled ardor and last night were pounding away at the forts with siege and with field guns and rifles. In the fight Wednesday the estimates of the German casualties run as high as 8,000 men. The invaders are said to have lost a large number of guns. Whole Battalion Killed. In an attack a German infantry di vision, supported by cavalry, marched on to n.ined ground. The Belgians thereon detonated the mines and an entire battalion of Gearmans was killed. Wounded Germans to the number- of 1,200 were picked up on the battlefield. It is estimated that in the fighting 40,000 Germans were faced by 23,000 Bel gians. In the attack on Fort Parchon, north east of the city, the Belgians permitted the Germans to reach almost to the walls of the fortress. Then they turned loose their guns and the slaughter is re ported to have been appalling. Under the terrific fire there and from other forts, the Germans were forced to retire all along the line. A detachment of Uhlans penetrated to the city on Wednesday night with the intention, it is said, of capturing high officials. They had reached the buildings where the officials had quar ters when they were surprised and all of them killed The shells of the Germans breached the walls of two of the fortresses which were captured. From the other forts, however, the Belgians continued to pour a deadly rain of shot and shell ir.to the ranks of the advancing Ger mans. Despite the heroic resistance of the Belgians it was felt In Brussels that the invaders, by reason of their great strength, could not much longer be denied, and that ultimately they must gain the city of Liege, whence they are expected to press onward to Namur in their effort to cross Belgium to the French frontier. At Namur, which is strongly forti fied, it is asserted that resistance as strong as that at Liege will be en countered by the Germans. Whole Army Engaged. As evening approached the battle became increasingly desperate. The entire uerman army, with its sup porting artillery, was engaged and the Belgian tie' was stuDDorn. too of the outlying Belgian fbrts have been evacuated, having been rendered untenable by the heavy German fire. The. German artillery had the range of the Belgian position and its fire was extremely e'";tive. Additional Belgian reinforcements were being rushed to the scene. A force of 20,000 Germans passed through Manhay, T.uxemburg, on Wednesday, in the direction of Ay waille, elgium. The Belgian air men have proved wonderful in the crisis. They main tain a position in the air along the front of the forts and every attempted movement of the Germans was signal ed and the range of their attacking troops so accurately located that few of the Belgian shells were being wasted. The Germans attacked along the en tire line of forts fronting Liege. Hav ing established that it would be im possible to carry them by assault, ar tillery was placed in position and the Belgian positions were being shelled at long range. For this purpose the new Krupp guns of heavy caliber were being used and an enormous number of them was in action.. German Losses 10,000. The advices received by the war of fice fail to estimate the German dead and wounded, but It is known to be In the neighborhood of 10,000. The war office says the Belgian losses are "far less." The Belgians have captured at least 2.000 men and a number of German guns. German arms sustained another de feat when two regiments of cavalry at tempted a night surprise of the Bel gian positions at Llers. The Belgian artillery entrenched behind the strong fortifications at Fort Liers repulsed the invaders with heavy losses. Liers is a strongly fortified city about ten miles southwest of Viae, where the German army has established a base. Savage, as a result of their defeats, and fighting like mad at every step, the Germans are shooting all civilians found; carrying arms, the Belgians de clare, Citizens in many villages ave been shot down in the streets. At Vise an IS-year-old girl was put to death. She had shot a German of ficer. I It is reported here that the German reinforcements include an additional army corps and three brigades of en gineers and artillery. The king has been advised tnat tne German crown prince is en route to the front to assume personal com-: mand. I It is expected that Germany will concentrate its "army that had head-. quarters at Cologne in the movement across Belgium. The French forces, which effected a Junction with the j Belgians yesterday, are moving to ward Liege. War Bulletins. Antwerp, (via London, Aug. 7.)

Doctor Grayson and a nurse came and went silently, and the president looked beseechingly to the doctor for a sign of encouragement. No words were spoken. Although Mrs. Wilson was unconscious, she smiled. Her breathing grew fainter and fainter, and Doctor Grayson real ized that the end was only a matter of minutes. His thoughts seemed to be communicated to the family and they moved nearer. At 5 o'clock exactly, a clock chimed softly from the executive offices.

HERE'S WAR MAP FOR EASY CHECKING OF THE MOVES OF EUROPE'S ARMIES. dATA Germany has set eat to whip France first. With the French sub dued, the kaiser plans to leave just enough men to guard the conquered territory, and, without fear of attack in the rear, to throw his rreat fight- tag machine into Russia. That is why the sudden attacks came on the French frontier. Germany's hope lay in the speedy action of her quickly mobilized forces, which siesed the neutral dochy of Luxemburg that the path might be clear to strr'-e with all Che strength of the German empire before France was ready. "repulse" of the German forces before the Belgian city of Liege, where Bel gian sources declare their attackers have been badly checked with heavy losses. Movements of the great aggrega tions of troops which must by this time have gathered at their sprlnging- oii points on me uerman frontiers facing both the Russian and the French armies are kept from public knowledge. Military authorities here however, are of the opinion that ore- i AM.cBuvucf must ut3 iuiiiiwi complete lur a forward movement which will give some indication of the plan of cam paign to be followed. De velopmen U In France Hidden. The French army authorities have also raised a heavy screen to hide the developments in their war moves. They seem entirely satisfied with the man ner in which the men of the nation re sponded to the call to arms and they declare every preliminary move to have been carried out according to the plans drafted by the popular commander-in- chief.

People who have migrated from Rus- sia or Germany to North Topeka are jmore deeply interested than any oth I ers. I However, this controversy will not effect many North Topeka people. Practically all persons who were born in Germany or Russia or descendents of persons born there, are now full fledged citizens of the United States or have declared their intention of be- I coming citizens. It Is estimated that less than 25 North Topeka people could legally be forced into military service in Germany and Russia but this does not reduce their Interest in the events reported from day to day. Raising Large Watermelons. Edward McConnell of Klro has raised the largest watermelon that has been shown on the local market up to date. He brought one to town which weighed 50 pounds which he raised near Klro. Farmers along the Kaw river valley report unusual melon crops this sea son. The melons are nice and large and have an excellent flavor. Plenty of rain which was well timed this season is said to be responsible for the results. Interested In Charles Wind.

President Wilson has directed that all officers of the army and navy, whether active or retired, refrain from discussing publicly either the military or po litical situation in Europe.

Winston Spencer Churchill, the first lord of the admi ralty, said in the commons today: "Apart from the loss or me snuui British cruiser Amohion and the Ger- Ynan mine layer Koenigin Lulse there has been no other nghtli-cr, ana no other loss as far as we are aware. "On Wednesday a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers, while patrolling the upper reaches of the channel, found the Koenigin Luise laying mines. in destroyers nursued and sank her. About fifty of the crew, which prob ably numbered 120 or ISO men, were humanely saved by the crews of the British destroyers. "The Amphion continued to scout, with the flotilla, and while on the re-! turn Journey was blown up by a mine. "The indiscriminate use of mines not in connection with military harbor or strategic positions, and the indis criminate scattering of contact mines about the seas might, of course, de stroy not only warships, but peaceful merchant vessels under a neutral flag and possibly carrying supplies to a neutral country. "This use of mines is new in war fare and deserves the attentive con sideration not only of those of us who are engaged in war, but of the na tions of the civilized world. "The admiralty is not at all alarmed or disconcerted by this incident." Mr. Churchill added that arrange ments had been made such as would reduce the possibility of accidents caused by mines to the minimum. Referring to the disconcerting war rumors spread by the newspapers. Mr. Churchill said they were probably due to the very strict censorship pre vailing and this caused the papers to fill their columns with reports from irresponsible and nervous persons on the coast. Mr. Churchill announced that the British government had decided to establish a press bureau presided over by Frederick E. Smith, a member of parliament, and from this bureau is to be issued a steady supply of trust worthy information from both the ad miralty and war offices without, how ever, placing in danger the naval and military Interests of the country. In this way, he said, the country would be kept properly and truthfully in formed of the state of affairs from day to day. The first lord then paid a tribute to the press for its restraint during the precautionary period when the gov ernment was without any legal means of controlling it. ECONOMY IS BYWORD.

The hand is quicker than the eye in detecting fraudulent bank notes. The "feel" of the distinctive paper used by the government is tho first warning ntgnal that the money tendered is bad. This paper is olstinctive not alone be cause of the introduction of silk fiber in the bill Itself, but because of the treatment the stock receives in print lng. The silk threads are sometimes imitated by pen and ink lines, but these do not bear close examination. The engraving has been the greatest protection, for even photoengraving fails to brinir out the proper color values, and retouching by the graving tool makes the lines heavy and irregu lar. Photography also fails in repro ducing the color of the seal, which must be washed in with water colors, the black lines of the engraving show ing through in counterfeits. The most dangerous counterfeit is that in which a genuine bill of lower denomination is bleached out and a false plate show ing a high denomination placed upon it. Here is a genuine bnk bill. It has the "feel." The silk threads are present. If the engraving is fairly well done, and the color of approximate correctness it becomes a dangerous counterfeit, and bankers are at once warned to. be on the watch for it. In this connection the "check letter often comes into play. All government notes art nrintad or one denomination, four on a sheet, and are lettered, respectively A. B, C, and D. Each note bears a treasury num ber. If when that number is divided by four there remains 1 the check let ter should be A if 3 remain the letter should be if 3, then C and if there is no remaining. D. If the result shows otherwise then the numbering is wrong and the note is a counterfeit. All ae- nominations from SI to SI. 000 have been counterfeited, as well as ail our coins. The most usual method of de trauding when gold coins are handled is to saw the c.iins in half, extract the interior, and nil with base metal. Popular Mechanlce, Mrs. Athoma "I thought you were tak lng electrical treatment?" Mrs. Gadd "They charged me toe much." Judge. Paint Crarks in Canvas of Ancient Masterpieces Defy Imitation. tvia first nuestion asked by the aver age person after the announcement of the finding or tne lost jaona ias waa. "How do the experts know with any certainty that this is the same painting that was stolen from the Louvre?" A big business is carried on in faked works of art, and there are many accomplished artists in the world who can imitate an "old master" so skillfully as to deceive even an expert. Rut the cleverest imitation falls short in lust one particular. A network of fine paint cracks is sure to exist in anv Daintinir of considerable age, and no way has ever been found for copy' im these with minute exactness. Through the paint cracks in the "Mona Lisa'' it was easy to identify the fa mous painting positively. This was done by comparing, inch by inch. photograph taken after the painting was found in Italy with a photograph made before the painting was stolen. A curious' feature in connection with the theft is the fact that the identity of the man who carried off the painting might have been established immedl ately if the BertlUon records' of the Paris police had been classified dif ferently. On the frame, which was left under a stairway of the Louvre, w found five finger prints. Only one of these, a print of the left thumb, was sufficiently distinct to serve for iden tiflcation. While an impression of both thumbs is always taken, criminal rec ords are classified by the Paris police by means of the right thumb. With 750,000 such records on file, it was im possible to find the criminal with only a left-thumb impression. Since his ar rest it is found that he is a Well-known criminal, and that his record is on file with the Paris police. Popular Me chanics.

HOPEFUL "Emergency Will Bring Ships From Somewhere" Koontz. Kansas Delegation Expected to Labor for Congressional Belief. The railroads have decided, to con tinue the grain embargo against New Orleans and Galveston indefinitely, which' means that no Kansas wheat will be shipped for export until the j European was pressure is removed. A result of the inability of exporters to get ships, is a congestion in Kansas elevators, mills and railroad yards, amounting to a paralysis of wheat traf- fic. But the situation is not regarded as over serious by railroad men, who i believe that an arrangement will be j made for carrying wheat to. Europe. Europe must have Kansas wheat or go hungry, is the opinion of the Santa Fe's "strategy board," which meets ev ery day in the office of J. R. Koontz,. general freight agent. "We don't know where the ships are coming from," said Mr. Koontz today, "but the emergency will bring them. Meanwhile the farmers in our own ter ritory are planning to hold wheat in the stack until the trouble can be ad justed. And every farmer with wheat on hand believes that when the market j opens, satisfactory prices will prevail. Now that the primaries are over, it is expected that the Kansas delegation In congress will get busy and throw the weight of influence for legislation that will result in getting ships. As Kansas has produced the bulk of the wheat crop in the United States this year, the Kan sas congressmen will be looked to In the effort to arrange for transportation across the seas. If, however, the Eng lish and French fleets can hold the Ger man fleet in check, the ports of the "triple entente" will be open to ships from Galveston flying other than neu tral flags, which will help some. According to a news dispatch from England today, the German ship Kumerio, bound for Germany with wheat from the United States, has been captured by English ships at Queens town. According to freight officials in Topeka, the Kumerio was loaded about two weegs ago at Galveston with Kan sas wheat. WITH CARGO OF GOLD. The Tennessee Sails for Europe to Believe Americans. New York, Aug. 7. The armored cruiser Tennessee, converted for the time into a treasure ship, left port at 9:45 o'clock last night to carry mil lions in gold to the many thousand Americans who are in want in Euro pean countries. All day long the vault of the sub treasury and banks here gave up the precious metal consigned to the relief of those whom the United States gov ernment seek3 to aid. Revenue cut ters plied back and forth between the Tennessee, swinging with the tide off Tompkinsville and the foot of "Wall street. When the cruiser nosed out toward sea in the darkness she had on board about $6,000,000 in gold, $3,000,- 000 from the Bankers' Trust company. $2,750,000 appropriated by congress. and about $300,000 entrusted to the paymaster's care by personal friends of individuals abroad. Of the latter sum nearly $100,000 was received yesterday, representing ninety-three deposits. More such funds are expect ed to be placed witn tne treasury au thorities here and it was regarded as likely that a second shipment of gold would be sent, probably on the cruiser North Carolina.
