TO TIE UP WAR SUPPLIES Labor Official Says Nothing Can Stop ReTolt. Workers Quit at Noon; No Evi dence of Disorder. Bridgeport, Conn., July 20. Ap proximately 1,000 machinists, accord ing to the estimates of labor leaders, went on strike this afternoon at the works of the Remington Arms and Ammunition company and four sub contractors. The men walked out at their lunch hour and labor leaders asserted they would not go back. Plans were made for the men on strike to attend a mass meeting later in the day, where they woul-J be placed on the strike benefit payroll at $8 a week. Strike Without Disorder. The walkout was accomplished with out disorder. Just before it took place John W. French, the publicity agent of the Remington company, in reply to questions as to the intentions of the company, intimated a statement might be Riven out later. The men on strike demand an eight hour day. double time for overtime, recognition of the union and settle ment of the jurisdictional dispute over the millwrights. More Bricklayers Laid Off. Another hundred bricklayers were laid off at the Remington plant this afternoon. Two hundred of the 500 men originally employed there hav- now been discharged. They have worked up to where the structural iron workers left off when they went on strike. In a statement today J. J. Keppler, vice-president of the Machinist's union, said that it was not intended to call out any of the machinists work ing for the Lake Torpedo Boat com pany, which is building submarines iXir the United States government. -"'We liave no'tlrspute with the Lake" concern," he said. During the noon, hour larp.e crowds gathered outside all the shops wheie the strike had been called. The larg est crowd was at the Remir.ston plant. General Strike Threatened. The walkout may eventually spread throughout New England and cause serious curtailment of the manufac ture of war munitions for the allied armies in Europe. "Neither Samuel Gompers nor the president of the United States can stop this strike now," said J. J. Keppler, international vice president of the Machinists union.

July 20 Ten thou sand dollars in currency, the sec ond largest contribution to the "conscience fund" ever received by the government, arrived at the treasury department today in a plain envelope mailed yesterday at New York. It was accompanied by an unsigned letter, saying: "The sender has paid double to' the United States the amount he stole and still conscience is not sat isfied. Here is another payment." Treasury officials found t.othing in the letter or the amount to indi cate a connection with any of the government's losses by fraud or theft, so they placed it with $500, 000 more which has accumulated in the treasury vault from con science stricken folk who have sent sums ranging from one cent to $18,669. 100,000 ARE DEAD Unthinkable Loss of Life in China's Floods.

ORDUNA SHOT ADDS WORRY Note May Deal With Latest Attack on Americans. President's Advisers Reticent; Reply Short, to Point. BY CHARLES STEWART. Washington, July 20. In a cabinet council regarded as one of the most momentous since the civil war, Presi dent Wilson and his advisers today practically determined America's fu ture attitude toward Germany. For over two hours the president and members of his ministry went over and over the note drafted by Sec retary Lansing in answer to the Berlin foreign office's last rejection of America's demands for humanitariao modification of Germany's submarine warfare. Commerce Secretary Redfield was the only absentee. Wilson and Advisers Grave. The conference's gravity was evi dent. The serious expression worn by the president and his advisers lett no doubt on this point- Befors the meeting, the chief exec utive and Secretary Lansing had an hour's private talk at the White House, looking over the rough draft of the note preliminary to its submis sion to the cabinet. The reported submarine attack on the Orduna, with American passen gers on board, also was injected into the situation. Secretary Lansing an nounced a federal investigation of the incident had been ordered through the treasury officials. No Talk Out of Conference. There was much reticence concern ing the conference, but it was under stood the president's and Secretary Lansing's views as embodied in the Coutlnued on Page Two.J FRANK IS WORSE Temperature Jumps Up, but Doctors Maintain Hope. Victim of Convict's Knife Moved to Quieter Place. Milledgeville, Ga.. July 20. Infec tion set in seriously this afternoon in Leo M. Frank's wound. His tempera ture jumped from 100 to 101.4. The doctors still ssld they were hopeful. Frank was removed to one of the prison farm offices, where it is quieter than in the infirmary. His wife leaves his bedside only for meals. William Creen. Frank's assailant, was still sullen and silent. It was announced that Governor Harris and three prison commission ers will be in Milledgeville Saturday to investigate the case. KANSAS OFFERS RIGHTS OF ALIENS Attorney General Issues Rul ing of Foreign Concern. State Constitution Recognizes Men of All Countries. IT MAY MEAN MILLIONS Retaliation From Other Coun tries Is Big Question. First Serious Presentation of Case Since Lord Scully. Rights of aliens under the state con stitution and general statutes are pro tected the same as the rights of American citizens, according to a rul ing today by S. M. Brewster, attorney general. The ruling was made when a letter came to the office of Governor Capper from the federal department anxiously inquiring about alien land and inheritance laws. In the letter sent by Robert Lansing, secretary of state, it is clearly indicated that for- WHY NOT eign countries are planning retaliatory action as a method of combating un favorable alien legislation in several states. Just at this time the alien law is sue is a serious matter between the United States and France, the letter from the federal secretary of state in dicates. Under a treaty entered into between the two countries in 1853. alien rights were to be given the same consideration in the states as rights of native born citizens. In view of the European war, millions of dollars of property rights will descend to French citizens in the United States. Unless the United States assures protection of French citizens under the laws of this country, France threatens retaliatory action against the United States gov ernment. First Sign of Issue Here. The opening of the alien right ques tion is the first time the issue has been seriously presented in Kansas since the days of the Lord Scully case. Several million dollars" worth of Kan sas property, located in 18 counties, was held under an Alien land act passed by the state legislature. To secure possession of this land.

E. Atchison Threatens to Retire From School Board. He Is Displeased With the Way Money Is Spent. NOT EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Playground Equipment Not Under That Head, He Says. He Believes the Results Are Not Worth the Cost. There are differences of opinion be tween W. E.. Atchison and other mem bers of the Topeka board of educa tion. It came out this way: "As county attorney, you should is sue a complaint against yourself as a member of the school board. There is a state law making it a misde meanor for a member of a school board to cause a deficiency in any school fund," he was twitted. "There has been a deficiency in usbnell school board funds for the last thirty years." he replied and then he ex plained that in his opinion the law referred to applied only to funds re sulting from bond issues. "Just the same, I served notice on the other members of the school board the other night that hereafter I would vote in favor of spending no more ecept for absolutely necessary ex penses. "My views are so radically different from those of some other members of the school board that I have seriously considered resigning. It seems to me that the school board is spending money for' things which are not edu cational and. in ways which the law never contemplated. But the Com mercial club and the women of the city are right at our backs to have the money spent. "It requires the widest construction possible to hold that when the school board spends money to install play ground equipment in public parks and employs a man to superintend these playgrounds during the summer months that this money is being spent for educational purposes. But I know (Continued on Page 2.) COTTOTASlRIZE Shipments Held by England To Be Condemned. Ruling Today Forecasts Future Action by British. London, July 20. A large part of the shipments of American cotton held up by England probably will be con demned by the prize court. This was indicated by a ruling made 1;oday by the government. The ruling was announced by the board trade which holds that if the ownership of cotton shipped under the agreement with American exporters passes from, the American shipper to an enemy of Great Britain, it will be purchased by the .-British government under the terms of the agreement. GERMAN TEMPER FORGES U.S. WAR OBSERVERS HOME Washington. July 20. Colonel John Biddle and Captain Berkeley Knoch, until recently attached to the embassy at Vienna, as army observers, today were assigned to the war college. With their re turn European battlefields ."re left practically without American military observers. While Iwth officers and also the war depart ment refused to discuss their re turn, it is believed to be a fulfill ment of Secretary Garrison's pol icy to withdraw officers where their presence caused friction and embarrassment. It is said that the idea among officers in the armies of the Teu tonic allies of the destruction wrought by American arms ami ammunition made the position of the American observers uncomfortable. VILLA GAINS AGAIN Deep Pessimism in Washington Over Mexican Situation. Carranzista Evacuation of Cap ital Discourages Wilson. Washington, July 20 Deep pessi mism concerning the Mexican outlook prevailed in official circles here to day. The sudden Carranzista evacuation of Mexico City was considered the most discouraging developments. Reports of the Carranzista capture of Naco were offset by accounts of the Villista occupation of Queretaro. News was meager, but there seemed no question that Villa had developed fresh strength. HORSE PLAGUE ON The Dread Disease of Three Years Ago Bobs Up. Many Animals Have Died Al ready in Western Kansas. Many horses have died in western I Kansas during the last few weeks from a disease which resembles the horse plague of three years ago, ac- I cording to reports received by state I departments in Topeka and the state I veterinary board at the state agricul tural college, Manhattan. As a result j of the protracted wet season, a fresh outbreak of the horse plague of 1912 lis feared in several of tne western counties. Several veterinarians havn been sent j to Hodgeman and adjoining counties and an official report on conditions will be filed in the next few days. A representative of the veterinary de partment at the State Agricultural college, was in Topeka today and de- j clared that reports from Jetmore and other towns indicated a fresh out I break of the troubles of three years I ago. In 1912, many western counties were infected with a strange disease that for several weeks puzzled state and federal experts. Hundreds of horses died in the western counties and the state and federal government spent thousands of dollars in fighting the disease. After an all-summer bat tle, experts finally agreed that the dis ease was caused from eating musty forage. The condition was due to ex cessive rains in the western counties and forage in the pastures and feed lots poisoned hundreds of horses and occasioned tremendous losses to the fanners in the infested district. Until the spread of the disease was stamped out. Governor Stubbs received many requests for a special session of the legislature to aid farmers. The district has only recently recovered from the serious loss. Owing to weath- Ier conditions during the last few months, it is believed by several ex perts that a repetition of the 1912 trouble is to be feared. 3 FIRES IN SHIP Mysterious Blaze on New Bat tler Oklahoma. Firemen Work Most of Night to Save Dreadnaught. Philadelphia. July 20. Not until the flooded compartments of the bat tleship Oklahoma have been emptied and a careful examination made will the extent of damage caused by three mysterious fires aboard the vessal last night at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company in Camden be known. Firemen from this city and Camden continued until an early hour today to pump water into the com partments, from which dense clouds of black smoke issued. The first smoke was seen shortly after the workmen had left the yard at 6 o'clock last night. The fire ap parently was quickly got under con trol, but more smoke was observed three hours later. After the second fire was finally extinguished, smoke was discovered in another part of the vessel at midnight. H. M. Knox, president of the com pany which constructed the new super-dreadnaught, was unable to ex plain the origin of the fire3. reliefThip TOlTAH. Schooner Vails From Sydney, N S., to Find MacMillan and Party. New York, July 20. Word was re ceived here today that the schooner George B. Cluett sailed yesterday from Sydney, X. S., to carry a relief expedition to Etah, Greenland, to find Donald B. MacMillan and his party of explorers. Mr. MacMillan headed a company which went to the Arctic regions in search of Crockerland. The Cluett will stop at Battle Har bor, Labrador, and at other points on her way north, TEUTONS WITHIN GRASP OF RIGA AND OFWARSAW Germans and Austrian Forces Capture 45,000 Russians.

Important success for the Teu tonic allies all along the battle line In Russia from the Baltic sea to Buka wina are claimed in an official state ment issued today at the German war office. The army of General von Gall witz is said to be standing in force on the Narew line, southwest of Nowo Georgievsk, one of the girdle of fortresses which protects Warsaw, and only ten miles from the Polish capital. With the capture of Windau the Germans have come into possession of another seaport on the Baltic and are within a few miles of Riga, seat of the governor general of the Baltic prov inces. The German and Austrian forces are paid to have taken prisoner 4 5,000 Russians. Riga for German Base. London, July 20. The belief is ex pressed in Danish military circles, ac cording to a Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company, that the Germans intend to use Win dau and Lukum as bases for operation designed to result in the capture of Riga. The chief purpose in seeking the occupation of Riga, it is believed in Copenhagen, ia to use it as a new naval base after the Gulf of Riga ha been cleared of mines. Czar's Resists noe Shaken. Vienna, July 19- (Via London, July 20.) Victories of the Teutonic allies all along the eastern battlefront on the 18th "shook the strength of the enemy's resistance," according to an official Austrian statement issued to night. The assertion is made that while the Russians brought up all the reinforcements available, they were unable to hold their positions. TO RELEASE VAST ARMIES. Kaiser Plans Coup to Get Great Forre for Western Irive. London. July 20. The most stu pendous military campaign since the days of Alexander the Great not only threatens the capture of Warsaw but contemplates the envelopment of Rus sia's chief field armies under the per sonal command of Grand Duke Nich olas. Official dispatches from Berlin and I'etrograd today for the first time re vealed the extent of the German oper ations.

An important meeting was held at Essen between the directors of the Krupp works and representatives of the workmen with the view to settling the dispute, be tween them. Prior to the meeting the military authorities warned both sides that unless an immediate arrangement was arrived at drastic measures would be employed. As a result of the conference the di rectors granted to the men a portion of their demands and a temporary peace has been patched up. 11 BELIEVED DROWNED Canoe Caiisizes in the Flood-Swollen Scioto River.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAI--TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1915. APPEALTOGENIUS Scientific Bodies to Pick Men for inventors' Board. Daniels Designates Eight Soci eties in Quest of Brains. ABLEST MINDS IN COUNTRY Action Insures Co-operation of k Thousands of Experts. Initial Committee of Sixteen May Be Enlarged. Washington, July 20. Sixteen Amer ican scientists to form with Thomas A. Edison, as chairman, the advisory board for the proposed bureau of in vention in the navy department will be selected by leading scientific so cieties of the country- Secretary Daniels has announced that he has written to the presidents of eight so cieties asking that two members be selected by each organization to be come members of the board. Two From Each Society. Following are the societies ad dressed American Chemical society, Presi dent Charles H. Krty, Chapel Hill, Nr. C. American Institute of Electrical Engineers, President Paul M.

American Aeronautical society. Act ing President Frederick W. Barker, New York City and Inventors' Guilu, President Edward Weston, Newark, N. J. "Much depends on the personnel of the committee," Mr- Daniels said, in announcing his plan, "and I have been desirous, first of all. that it should be made up of the ablest men in the country who have demonstrated their leadership in their profession. f.wUaVishr cm cm cmfwyp p p j.iip Co-operation of Kxperts. "After consultation with eminent men in the navy and civilian life, I have decided to ask eight societies having large memberships each to se lect two members who will make up the advisory committee. In this way I feel sure we will have the hearty co operation of thousands of experts." Mr. Daniels said the selection of the eight societies did not exclude other organizations of the same character, which it might be found advisable to call on later, as there is no final lim itation on the membership of the com mittee. Lincoln for Quick Action. Pittsburgh, July 20. Paul M. Lin coln, president of the American In stitute of Electrical Engineers and one of the men selected by Secretary Dan ials to name an advisory board for the proposed bureau of invention in the navy department, said today he would consult with the institute's board of directors before nominating electrical engineers for the positions. He did not know when this would be, but he favored prompt action. HEMAY RESIGN. Continued from Page One. the courts are liberal and that such things are being done in other cities. Personally, I do not believe it is mon- ey well spent and that the results are i not worth the cost. Results Not Worth Money. j "I hold the same to be true of vo- j rational training. It is a good thing, that the results are not worth the money spent. I believe that vocation- al training shoudl be left to private j schools and those specializing in such things. Only the other night we had a request from the superintendent of manual training for $3,000 for circular saws and other equipment, all of which may be good but not good enough to justify the expense. Against Domestic Science. "I do not believe in teaching do mestic science either not that domes tic science is not a good thing, but be cause the results do not justify the ex pense and a school board in spending money should distinguish what is edu cational work and what is welfare work. ""But tliey are doing it in other I cities.' that is the argument that is put up to justify the school board in I going to some new expense. I won- j der whether, if Topeka should cut out j all the new-fangles jim-cracks and re- turn to plain, old-l'ashioned methods and confine money expenditures to what are strictly educational purposes only, would a bad impression of To- peka be created. There might be in i some educational quarters, but 1 be lieve that solid, conservative citizens would welcome such an announcement and possible Topeka might find that instead of being laughed at by such a course, that other cities which are now in the same position Topeka. is in would soon be following her example in a movement for a wiser expendi ture of school funds. Tax to Legal Limit. "Topeka's school tax levy is alreadj up to the legal limit. There is a deficiency and warrants are beinq: stamped 'unpaid for lack of funds,' but I do not believe members of the school board can be prosecuted for creating these deficiencies. Neither do believe that a legal action can be maintained to stop payment on these warrants, although there might b two grounds fur such action one that the debt was illegal because of the finar.cial condition of the school board and another because, in soni instances it was not an expense for an educational purpose. 'Man to Run Around Town." "It is not my purpose to offer any criticism of other members of the school board because we do not hap pen to agree. They may be right and I may be wrong. But last fall the grade teachers petitioned the school board for an increase in salaries. The increase asked for would have called for an additional expense of $4,000 a year. I would liked to have granted the increases, but we felt that we could not afford it. Then the board turned around and employed an athletic in structor to run around over town dur ing the summer, voted money for play ground equipment in city parks, and just the other night voted to have a kindergarten in Potwin school, which ia a good thing but not worth the money. Had these useless expenses ot questionable legality been eliminated the grade teachers could have been granted the increases asked. "I may be radical and ol J-fashioned, but I believe there should be some other reason than 'other cities are doing it,' for spending school board money while the school board is in it nrpwnt financial condition. B3- cause I seem to be out of narmony I 1 -Vw.ii .i ti c-i I u ,1 vifrr-.inr. The school board's finances, however, arc better now than when I Decame a member." OWE FOR DINNER K. U. Alumni Must Pay a Bill of $647.60. Auditor Davis Positively Re fuses to Extend Relief. Members of the Kansas university alumni must pay for their annual din der. V. E. Davis, state auditor, has refused to approve a claim of $647.60 presented by the state board of admin istration and now the "raw raw" boys must take up a collection to pay for their annual feast. When the legislature made an ap propriation for the state schools, it did not provide funds for annual din ners and banquets, Auditor Davis con tends. Consequently when the Kansas University alumni held a banquet in Lawrence last spring, it was up to the members to buy the groceries, pay the chef and hire a band. Instead, the state board sent to Auditor Davis a claim for $647.60, and now the chef and the groceryman and the band master must look elsewhere for their money. I Included in the list of things to eat were 36 cakes, 180 dozen rolls. 400 pounds chicken. 225 pounds veal, 190 pounds broiled ham, 40 gallons punch, enough side dishes to feed the national guard. The university band furnished the music aiso a bill for $100. Now the alumni officers must get busy and pay for their dinner.

At least two million Germans are believed .to be engaged. Windaii Is Taken. Admission from Petrograd that the Russians have suffered further re verses and triumphant claims of great victories from Berlin, including the capture of Windau, increased the feel ing of pessimism here. The censor permitted the Morning Post to print a dispatch from its Budapest corre spondent reporting that the evacua tion of Warsaw had been ordered, though military officials here discred ited the report. War office officials since the begin ning of the present German offen sive have expressed doubt that the Teutons would attempt a serious movement against the Polish capital both from the north and the south west. They believe the thinning of the German line north of Warsaw to sup port Mackensen's campaign around Lublin would enable the Russians to beat back Von Hindenberg. Advance on Warsaw Front. The Russian war office added today that Van Hindenberg's center con tinues to advance upon the Narew front. The assumption here is that Ruwian troops have been withdrawn from this portion of the line to rein force the armies blocking Macken sen's passage from the southwest. All Petrograd dispatches agree that the Russian general staff considers Mack ensen's drive the main German offen sive.

PRECIOUS SUPPLIES TIED UP Fate of Slavs Hangs on Move ment of Cargoes. Men Work With Feverish Haste to Succor Troops. Vladivostok, June 25 (Correspond ence of the Associated Press). Twen ty thousand American freight cars and 400 American locomotives are due here from the United States within the next two months to relieve the con gestion of supplies destined for the Russian armies at the front. The army corps on the German-Austrian battle line need guns, rifles and am munition; Vladivostok will supply them. They need armored cars, many hun dred of the..i, and Vladivostok will give them these. They need dyna mite; they need pig lead and pig cop per; they need cotton to be made into clothing; they need food and Vladi vostok hopes to see to it that they get it all. Guns From United States. The guno and rifles and ammunition are arriving from Japan and the United States by the steamer load. The armored motor cars are coming by the hundreds from the United States. They are being made at De troit and Cleveland and other points, and they are coming out here mostly by way of Seattle on vessels which sail direct to Vladivostok. So also is the lead, copper and dyna mite. As for the cotton it is coming out from New York via Panama in such vast quantities that more than anything else it has caused this ter rific congestion of supplies which has forced Russia to place rush orders for locomotives and cars to get them off to the front. It is piled high on the hills back of the city, waiting for its turn to be forwarded to Moscow and other cities, to be manufactured into blankets and uniforms for the soldiers. From Great Britain have come guns for the navy. Shipped to Black Sea. They arrive by steamer and then they are shipped by railroad to th Black sea, to be mounted on the war ships Russia is building. From France has come ammunition, from the United States have come several nine- inch guns also to find their place on Russian warships in the Black sea; and above all is coming barbed wire from America an amazing quantity of it to protect the trenches of the Russian armies. Ships bringing these vast supplies are arriving in such number and with such rapidity that they cannot be ac commodated at the docks. A plan of permanent enlargement of the port has been temporarily put aside in favor of provisional enlargement. Huge gangs of men are building pon toon piers and makeshift docks. Ves sels unable to squeeze into the piers are trans-shipping their cargo to light ers, but a shortage of lighters has retarded every means of discharging. The Russians are building more lighters. Vladivostok, they believe, is to save the day for the Russian army, and every possible human effort is made to forward these precious supplies to their destination at the front. Incarnation of War. The feverish activity at the water front is duplicated elsewhere in this great port, which, while peaceful in itself, is the very incarnation of war. Every month new armies are sent away to the west. For 500 miles to the north of the fortress of Vladivo stok proper extends a series of forti fied places. All these when not used as prisons for German prisoners of war, serve as drill grounds for Rus sian recruits. The reservists come in from all points in the eastern part of the empire, and within six months are turned into soldiers. Then they are hurried across Siberia. BOLTKfLLS ADVTNTIST Prof. A. J. S.

Ninety of the 120 prisoners at the city jail here are on a hunger ttrike because they ob ject to mutton stew as a regular food. In retaliation, according to Warden William Cole, he is going to "diet" the ringleaders. The prisoners first objected to a steady mutton stew menu Sunday, when they hurled their food on the floor. Since then they have refused to eat. Mutton stew will remain on the bill of fare, according to Cole, for all except the ringleaders, w-ho will be fed bread and water. Unlucky Flirt. St. Paul, Minn.. July 20 Mike Mullaney is today serving a short term in the city jail, because he used poor judgment in flirting. Mike sought a little stroll with Mrs. Etta Claussen. When he persisted, she consented. After they had strolled a few blocks, she told him her brother was locked up at Central police sta tion, and suggested they go over. They did. At the door she showed him her badge.

Continued from page One-1 conference of machinists' officials at Washington, but those in charge of the situation here assert they will not heed the call. Within a week, according to plans of labor leaders, all work in Reming ton shops and in the factories of sub contractors will be at a standstill. There are from eight to ten thousand persons employed by the Remington company and it is estimated, including other local factories, 25,000 or more would be thrown out of work. Reports Are Conflicting. While labor leaders announced to day that approximately 1,000 machin ists employed in the shops of the Remington Arms and Ammunition company and four sub-contractors had walked out on strike, indications were that difficulty in accomplishing the aim of the union men had been exper ienced in some of the plants. An of ficial of the Remington company de nied emphatically that any of the men in that plant had walked out. Rumor had it that Major Penfield had offered tKe machinists an eight hour day with -other concession and that they had decided to remain. Sub-contractors on the other hand, admitted that all of their machinists had walked out. Among the sub-contracting firms admitting that their men had struck, were the Gaynor Manufacturing com pany, making bullets for the armies of the allies .and the Columbia Nut and Bolt company. Militia Is Keady. A member of the militia here said today that a quantity of riot ammuni tion had been received at a local ar mory late last night. The members of the militia he said had been instructed to hold themselves in readiness. Extraordinary precaution to pre serve order were taken by the police today. Extra forces of city policemen were dispatched to various parts of the city. Reserves were being held in all precinct police stations. Clothing; Strike Looms. New York, July 20. Labor condi tions in the clothing trade assumed a serious phase again today and it was said that a general strike might occur after all. There is one ray of hope, however, in the fact that the commit tee of adjustment representing the workers and the manufacturers is still in conference trying to reach a set tlement of the differences. The threatening factors, it was said, was an eleventh hour demand of the union representatives that the closed shops be maintained. It was also de manded, according to the manufac turers' representatives, that all differ ences must be settled within twenty four hours. These demands came after the manufacturers had agreed to fifty per cent of the claim made in behalf of their workmen. 5,000 OIL WORKERS OUT. Virtually All of Standard's Force at Ba yon ne Quit Work. New York, July 20. Virtually every workman employed by the Standard Oil company at its Constable Hook plant in Bayonne. went on strike to day. There are now about 5,000 men out. At the adjoining Tidewater oil plant the men are still at work, but they are said to be restless and the strikers say they will shortly join them. If they do, the entire- production of oils and gasoline and naphtha, as well as the byproducts will stop. The strike puts an end for the time being to the loading of case and barrel oil for Europe. There are six steamers now tied up at the piers, which skirt the plant. The strike trouble first appeared last week when the still cleaners, a comparatively small part of the work ing force, went out because their de mand for an 11 per cent increase in wages was not granted The men who struck today made no demand for in creased wages, but it is thought likely that they will do so before they return to work. At present their strike is of a sympathetic rature. ordunTproTesTfileo Thompson of Industrial Relations Board Offers to go to Wasliington. New York, July 20. William O. Thompson, counsel to the federal in dustrial relations commission, said to day he had sent to the state depart ment in Washington a protest against the attack of the German submarine on the Cunard line steamship Orduna, on which he was a passenger. His protest was first telephoned and then mailed yesterday. Mr. Thompson said he used the tele phone to convey his protest to the state department, because he desired to remain in New York for a few days, but that he had offered to go to Washington at once, if necessary. Thompson Statement Before Wilson. Washington. July 20. The German submarine attack on the Cunard liner Orduna. was formally brought to the attention of the American govern ment today by Wm. O.

GO AFTERCLAXTON Sons of American Revolution Want Educator's Scalp. Ask Commissioner's Removal for Alleged Insult to Flag. Portland, Ore., July 20. The sub ject before the national convention of the Sons of the American Revolution when it met today was a resolution asking President Wilson to dismiss Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commis sioner of education. The resolution accuses Dr. Claxton of making unpatriotic utterances re garding the American flag. mDr- Claxton, who is at Bellingham, Wash., today said his language had been misinterpreted, and that he never had made a remark derogatorv of the American flag. The Sons of the American Revolu tion have received a message from Col. Theodore Roosevelt, left for them as he paused here thirty minutes en route to San Francisco.

TODAY'S 1P.RKET REPORT. Chicago. July 20. WHEAT Improved weather in the harvest region tended todav to ease down the wheat market. Prices were bearishly affected also by the fact that conditions in the spring crop belt remained highly favorable and against the development of black rust.

CORN' Corn weakened with wheat. On the down turn, however, speculators went to the buying side, owing to reports of a good eastern shipping call and of country offerings being reduced. Opening prices, which ranged from ftV&c off to e up, were followed by a moderate general re action. The elose was nervous. ilc down to up. compared with last night.

Re ceipts here today are 8,500 head, of which 1.600 head are yarded in the Southern divis ion, and the drop In the supply from last Monday, when 13,000 head arrived, resulted In an active market and considerable re covery in values. Prime steers. Including numerous lots from Clinton county, Mis souri, the great porn and blue grass sec tion, brought $9.85 to $10.10, on a parity with a week ago. A drove of 100 head of yearlings from the same section, of which 82 were heifers, brought $9.85, 830 lbs. average. Greenwood county. Kansas, steers climbed back up to $9.60 today, about as good as best time last week. Texas steers in the native division brought $7.30. for which $7.00 would have been the price last Thursday. The rank and file of cattlo moved at slightly better prices than the middle of last week. South Texas grass steers sold In the quarantine division at $6.40 to $7.25, and Oklahoma grassers weigh ing 900 lbs. at $6.80 were considered higher than they would have sold last Thursday. Ten loads of R. E. Gatewood's steers, around 1200 lbs., from North Texas, brought $8.40 In the quarantine division. Stockers and feeders sold slightly better, but without any special dash. In the hog yards the supply was 6.000 head, market steady to five cents lower for an hour or two, during which time order buyers made their purchases, up to $7.70, including choice heavies at $7.6o. Packers bid 10 to 15 cents lower prices, paying $7.35 to $7.50 for most of their hogs, around $7.30 for rough heavyweights. Provisions prices have sharply declined re cently because of England's interference with shipments to neutral couutrles, and recent weakness In hog prices Is traced to that cause. Prophecy Is made that hog prices will decline till England abides by the rule of international laws and cesses to interfere with shipments of food pro ducts which laws the state department at Washington Is demanding shall be en forced. Sheep and lamb receipts are 6.000 bead. Lambs dropped close to $1.50 in vslue last week, but sales today were still lower, top $7.60 paid for several strings of Arizona spring lambs. Sheep prices are holding up well, some Arizona ewes today at $0.00, 110 lbs. average. Aged sheen prices are con siderably above Chicago, because of scarci ty here. Demand for breding sheep and feeding lambs Is developing, and promises to be very heavy. Recently there lias been practically nothing In either line offered, a few feeding lambs today at $7.25. J. A.

The Savages celebrate their escape from a soggy grave and their return from the longest road trip of the season by playing a double-header with Denver this afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock. While on their road trip, Jack son's athletes won 8 and lost only 9 games. The critical stage of the season's race is now at hand. The results of the next sixteen games at home will determine the neighbor hood in which Topeka will be found on the last curtain fall. Many think that the Savages will win or lose the pennant in the next two weeks. One of the best ways local fans can help them win it is by turning out liberally every day. A good crowd this afternoon will have a beneficial psychological effect, and it is being noted that psychology Is being given its just deserts in the baseball world these days. STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Charley White, the Chicago lightweight, not only has consented that Miss Alice Carpenter deliver a suffrage sermon before he enters the ring to box Ted Lewis on Wednesday night, but declared that he was glad he could help to attract an audience of men, so that the votes for women speaker could tell them what would be good for them. Miss Carpenter has been delegated by the Empire State Suffrage cam paign committee to speak to the box ing lovers who will assemble in St. Nicholas Rink for the White-Lewis ten-round affair. Manager Johnston thought it would be well to consult the principals before he went ahead with the suffrage program, and found both in hearty accord with the plan. Additional refinement will be added to the manly art event by the presence of ten girl ushers. NATTOXAIi LEAGCE. ss 40 43 43 4i .338 .538 .500 .41M: .488 .49 .427 5; off Brown. 4: off Cochran, 2.

"Josh"' Clarke's sportsmanship never deserted him following the tendering of his resignation as manager of the Sioux City club of the Western league to President Ed Hanlon. "I resigned because I want to see Sioux City have a winning team," said Clarke. "Sioux City has a bunch of good players, but for some reason I have not been able to get the work out of them. I have done the best I could, but have failed and am ready to give way to a better man," he con tinued. Clarke's team won the pennant last year, but this year has been lingering one degree above the cellar. Clarke took charge of the team in the fall of 1913 following the resigna tion of "Ducky" Holmes. He came here In 1912 to play in left field. He was bought from the Kansas City Blues. Clarke resigned both as man ager and as a player in the local club. ST. MARYS DEFEATED W. O. W.

(By Jerome Beatty.) I always make it a point to put a lot of stuff on the first ball I serve. Often you can hit your op ponent with your first ball and cripple him so he will be easy to beat. I don't put so much stuff on my second ball I always serve a second ball and it usually drops into the net. I pull up my hose supporters. The next serve that I get in, bounces high and I run hard and get my opponent's return. While he is going out into the street to get the ball I pull up my hose sup porters and loosen my belt. I serve again and dash up to the net. The ball goes over my head, nipping the back line. I pull up my hose supporters. On my next serve I decide to play safe and stand in the middle of the court, so I knock my opponent's return into the net. I pull up my hose supporters and tighten my belt and remark that I have a blister on my right heel. I continue in much the same way until the match is ended. Then I pull up my hose supporters, pay for the court and go home. SPORT WHEEZES Being Fnrlelned IKoa- Meat. Prone Flea. Lemon Sandwiches. Etc (By Clug.)

Poorer scores were made in the elimination round of the Western Amateur Golf tournament at the Mayfield Country club Monday than have been recorded in several seasons. Five out of eight players who made 87 were left in the running for the qualifying round which will be played today. The lowest scores were two cards of 76, made by Jack Xeville of Oakland, Cal., and Paul Hunter of the Mid lothian Golf club of Chicago. "Chick" Evans, minus his favorite golf clubs, left in Chicago by mistake, made the course in SI, playing with Eben Byers of Pittsburg, who record ed a 79. Many scores went to 100 and some higher. The Brit ton-Dundee Bout. Xew York, July 20. With forfeits posted for weight and appearance. Jack Britton and Johnny Dundee have settled down to hard work for their ten round bout at Madison Square Garden on July 29. After a brief argu ment before the forfeits of J500 each were posted, Britton finally agreed to accept the demands of the Italian lightweight and make 133 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of the contest. This, Britton says, will not be a hardship, as he will have plenty of time to get down to weight and prop erly prepare himself for what looks like the most important battle of his career. With a victory oyer Dundee to his credit, Britton will be in a posi tion to demand bouts with Welsh, Ritchie and White. Britton has gone to Highland Lake to condition himself. M. P.

Allen, Topeka Daily Capital. Pitches a No-Hit Game. Atlanta, Ga., July 20. Scott Perry, of the Atlanta Southern league team, pitched a no-hit game here Monday against Nashville, Atlanta winning 2 to 1. The weather man is a great base ball fan NIT. Sammy Mayer made a peg from right field to third in Saturday's game at Kansas City that nipped a runner and made Eddie Cochran sit up and take notice. Mayer, we would have you under stand, wasn't good enough to play with the Blues this spring, but a few months under Jimmy Jackson seems to have rounded him out. Joe Birmingham hasn't killed the managerial bee yet. He still yearns for a bossing job. He has his eyes on Jersey City, where there is a berth left vacant by Hooks Wiltse. After taking another look at the gate receipts. President Comiskey of the Sox is reported to have remarked: "The work of Manager Rowland pleases me immensely." Connie Mack hasn't a bit of use for Irish ball players. Guess not? With Mclnnis, McAvoy, Walsh and Murphy already on his club, he recruits Healy and Malone. Yesterday a new rule went into ef fect in the American League empow ering the umpires to make the pitch ers hurry up the game as much as possible. Joe Wood's habit of walk ing all around the infield every time he got the ball is said to have moved Ban Johnson to the action. The American League ateo has prohibited its players from writing newspaper articles. The Denver Bears admit that they may not win the pennant, but they will bet you a bushe) of goobers to a gnat's breakfast t hat t hey will finish closer to the top than Des Moines. While the Bears don't exactly admit it, they intimate that Lincoln is liable to keep somebody from climbing to the top of the rag pole. Big Ed Walsh drew 28,000 to the White Sox park when he 6taged a comeback last week and defeated Philadelphia. And close students of baseball conditions are telling us that this is the surest indication commer cial tendencies have not taken all the sentiment out of the game. Not all maybe, but surely a big hunk of it. Miss Margaret Goodrich, who has charge of the local agencies of the S. E. Post, the Ladies' Home Journal and the Country Gentleman, will treat about 60 of her young salesmen to an afternoon at the ball park Wednesday. Miss B. H., the fair lady scribe, who writes stories of the games and accuses ministers of going to the park looking for "fowls," will assist in "chaperoning" the young salesmen.

Wichita and St. Joe are not represented and their standing in the race probably explains the reason. Another Wichita Shakeup. When the Wichita ball club returns to Wichita on July 22 with Des Moines for a series of three games, there probably will be five new men in the lineup, announced President Mills Ebright on his return from Omaha. President Ebright said that he had deals on for two pitchers and three infielders and outfielders and expected to close them any time. The only man he is a little doubtful about getting is a pitcher with Vancouver in the Northwestern league. Several big leagues have their eyes on him and he may get away. "Walter Johnson" Brinley, who is playing with Arkansas City, will be recalled and given a tryout. Ebright figures that he cannot do any worse than the pitchers now on the staff and he may get away. According to re ports, Brinley is developing into a reg ular phenom. John Sullivan came home with Ebright and will remain here. He is not suspended, but as Patterson is giving Handee. a right hander, a tryout, John is not needed on the trip. Johnny White, the youthful catcher borrowed from St. Joe. has been re turned. Ebright states that White lost the game on Thursday for Wich ita at Des Moines when he dropped a little pop fly just in front of the plate. Patterson has another catcher in view who win work until Gray is able to resume playing. Wichita Eaglet. Carrol ton Voting on Liquor. Carrolton, Mo., July 20.

Apparently, the Georgians, or a few of them, are bent on "getting" Leo Frank in one way or another. Christianity is said to be spreading in China, notes the Detroit Free Press, and it adds: They'll be taking up barbed wire and gas bombs next. Probably if some of the metropoli tan newspapers -vould give Harry Thaw anything like half a chance, he would retire from the limelight for a little while, anyhow. ;j, They may not talk so eloquently about it. observes the New York World, but that should not .obscure the fact that to many millions of the American people thisis the Father-, land. One of the things that all varieties of the Mexican mixers do best is wrecking railroad trains. Zapata is credited with having winged another. But, then, wrecking a train is about the easiest thing to do. Assuredly the Russian people are easy to please. It is stated that the Grand Duke Nicholas is a great popu lar hero with them and that they are immensely gratified with his activity against the Germans. If there is any reliability to the news from Petrograd, the Russians didn't do so badly during their Gall cian retreat. Ihey captured, It is said, no less than 1,141 officers and 60,848 men during the month of June. As the Germans believed in "making hay while the sun shines" in getting ready for war, says the Chicago Her ald, so American factories are making munitions for all who can buy them, regardless of the moonshine emitted on the subject. More evidence that truth hurts. A Belgian refugee in Paris has been sen tenced to jail for thirty days because he was so careless as to observe in public that the official war reports are "a pack of lies." But how else is it possible to characterize them? Possibly, the litigation anent the af fairs of the Kansas Natural Oas company, will be as profitable to some of tha lawyers in these parts as was the Thaw case to some of their brethren back east. And the indica tions are that it will continue as long, unless it is sooner brought to an end by an exhaustion of the supply of gas, and a consequent winding up of the company's business. Nor can the charge that the ship carried an enormous cargo of muni tions of war, to be used by the Allies against her soldiers, have any place in whatever excuse Germany may frame for her attempted submarining of the Cunarder Orduna, while en route, and carrying many passengers, from Liv erpool to New York. In fact, the ruthlessness of such a variety of sub marine warfare is absolutely inde fensible. KAXT, FATHER OF KULTUR. Professor John Dewey in his new book on "German Philosophy and Politics" traces the German idea to Emmanuel Kant, says the New Re public. "The germinal idea of Kant, as Doctor Dewey, delimits it with a full appreciation of the audacity of his selection, is 'the idea of a dual legislation of reason by which are marked off two distinct realms.' This removal of morals from the zone of science and this freeing of science from the governance of morals, of 'superstition, sentimentalism and mor al and theological romanticism." is the distinction of Kantian philosophy. Its first effect, apparently, was to sanction the German in the pursuit of mundane power. Its second effect was to create a realm for the gospel of moral duty. But duty to what "The gospel of a Duty devoid of content naturally lent itself to the consecra tion and idealization of such specific duties as the existing national order might prescribe. The sense of duty must get its subject-matter some where and its appropriate subject-matter lies in the commands of a superior. Concretely what the State commands is the congenial outer fill ing of a purely inner sense of duty.' It is that, and not any organized so ciability, which is intimated by the word Kultur." Can there be an eastern Kansas far mer who hasn't had enough rain this j year? If there is, let him speak up, so that he can be properly labeled and placed among the gentry whom it is impossible to satisfy. LABOR NOT TO BE DENIED. England apparently has no monop oly on labor troubles of such propor tions as to threaten seriously the ef fectiveness of her military and naval forces. News comes in a roundabout j way from Germany that the employees of the great Krupp works are threat- ening to strike and also to destroy the machinery in these works if their de mands for more pay are not granted. And without the Krupp works behind them, the armies of Germany would become impotent sooner or later. But I this story doesn't sound very reasona I ble, unless the world has been led astray by the reputed complete con i trol that Germany exercises over her i civilians. Villa has been "crushed" again. Or 1 so sayeth a report from Mexico. And I this would seem to indicate that Villa is a good deal like Truth, in one re spect, at least. Though cru3hed to earth it will rise again. BAD BOYS, A CITY CROP, BUT That ninety-two per cent of the bad boys of the state come from the cities and towns is no more than" statistics on the subject might he expected to show. But philosophy teaches con vincingly that goodness is a rather negligible thing, or, at least, nothing much to brag about, when there are few, if any opportunities for those who are good to be bad. But the bad boy isn't often to blame because he is that way. The fault is chiefly on the shoulders of his parents or guar dians. According to most of the recent pre dictions of the weather bureau the rains that Topeka has been enjoying of late come under the classifica tion of "showers." And if they are no more than "showers" everybody is probably hoping that the real thing in the rain line will pass Topeka by. MILITARISTS VS. PACIFISTS. Why should it be necessary for every American over 18 years of age to re ceive Instruction in the art of mak ing war, as the National Security League urges, if the world is to be assured of universal peace before long, as the peace protagonists insist. Or is it going to be necessary .for these United States to participate in a tre mendous war in order to bring about such a peace. As' a matter of fact, there is no prophet who can tell what the future holds forth in the realm of peace, or of war, and it would there fore seem wise that we be prepared in a reasonably adequate manner for such contingencies as may arise. It is just as essential, though, for us not to follow to the limit the suggestions of our military extremists as it is for us not to be led astray to impotence by the peace dreamers in our midst. There is nothing unusual in the news that the war is playing havoc with the food prices in several Euro pean centers. That's to be expected. But the same is hardly true in respect to food prices in this country, and es pecially in respect to the "war prices" or "war sizes" of bread that are still In order in some sections of these United States, CASH AND CREDIT PLENTIFUL. After discussing the placing of the recent British loan of $3,000,000,000, which will go down in history as the most remarkable financial achieve ment on record, and pointing out that the effect of this loan upon the finan cial conditions in this country was strikingly small, Henry Clews, the New York banker, discusses in his current weekly financial review, as usual, the situation and prospects in the world of trade and finance in this country, and the activities and devel opments of one sort and another that have a bearing upon them. On this score, he writes, among other things: "The foreign exchange situation promises to gradually right itself. Both our import and export trades are still badly deranged. Imports of luxuries and many necessities are necessarily curtailed through lack of production abroad; while many of our staple ex ports have been seriously interrupted, not only with the belligerents, but also with neutral countries whose purchas ing abilities have been lessened by the war. The excess of exports, however, continues because of the outward' movement of foodstuffs and munitions of war. Orders for munitions re ceived months ago are now being filled, and within the next few weeks there will be a much larger outward movement, accompanied also by shipments on account of the new crops. It is quite certain that the next six months will witness another heavy excess of exports; possibly as large if not larger than during the first six months of the current year. This means a further expansion of foreign obligations on this side. International bookkeeping accounts have become much deranged, but a solution of the problem through natural means is now in sight. Britain's credit stands high in spite of the strain imposed. Money is naturally becoming firmer in London and easier in New York. This will tend to restrain gold shipments to this side, and facilitate foreign bor rowing or credits in this market. It may be said that extensive arrange ments to that end are already under negotiation. The outlook here is for easy money for some months to come. We have an enormous gold supply es timated at $1,800,000,000. The fed eral reserve banks report a surplus of $730,000,000, representing a loaning power of over $3,000,000,000, which is only about one-third of the na tion's banking resources. Trade in the United States is relatively quiet, and the demand for accommodations restricted; all of which tends to easy money. It seems somewhat par adoxical to affirm that cash and credit will be plentiful during the balance of the year at relatively low rates, while capital will be scarce and command ing advancing rates; but that is the truth. The explanation is that cash and credit are used chiefly for tem porary purposes, and are vitally af fected by the supply of loanable funds. Capital is usually wealth In fixed form; and its source of supply is chiefly derived from national sav ings. The crop outlook continues promising and trade, though inactive, is unusually sound. About the only note of complaint cornea from the south, where interference with the ex port of cotton may become a serious consideration. The greatest activity in any industry is at present mani fested in the steel industry, which is now running at approximately 90 per cent of capacity, while prices are gen erally advancing. War contracts have been the chief stimulant, but a steady increase is observable in domestic business, stimulated, of course, by ad vancing prices, and the prospect of a still further rise." Journal Entries You may have inferiors, hut it is not for you to say who they are. It's easier to forgive an eneniv who is considerably larger than yourself. Nature erred, at least, in not at taching serviceable handles to all va rieties of edible fruit. Most men are probably inclined to think that tho real curse of wealth is the way they have to work for it.

In one way so much rain is a blessing, insists the Tipton Times. It stops the traveling men from telling the old gag about the two-year-old frog Just learning to swim. After a girl has been engaged sev en or eight years, says the Augusta Journal, she begins to wonder if that is the length of time hubby would re quire after marriage in which to ful fill the promises made before. Here's a facer for the fair ones from the Wichita Beacon: Why is it that the woman who refers to her hus band as an insignificant little wart goes and joins a suffrage club and claims women are the equals of men? This sounds more reasonable than the beerkeg-binder story. The Blue Rapids Times reports: Some of our farmers have tried wrapping their binder bull wheel loosely with burlap and find it helps some in the soft ground. A man, by attending church, points out the Sterling Bulletin, draws with him his family and his friends, gives new courage to those doing church work and has that satisfaction that comes to a man when he does his duty. Are you attending church? The story is told, relates the Blue Rapids Times, of a newcomer living in a low place in the north part of town, who didn't know he was on a lot liable to be overflowed, and was peacefully sleeping through the storm oblivious to the rapidly rising water until it came up on his bed and the whoop he then gave could be heard by his neighbors far above the peals of thunder.

Why do children obey some people and absolutely refuse to obey others? In other words, what qualities, what attitude is necessary to win a child's obedience. A letter friend who is to have a child visitor for the summer asks me that question. It is very difficult to answer. Chil dren are not fixed numerical quan tities, they are variant individuals, and consequently the answer varies to some extent for each. Nevertheless there are certain gen eraiprir f pies which apply to all chil dren. In the first place, all children re spect quiet force of chatvter. They are sure to feel it, even though they do not know what it is they feel. Ani mals likewise respond to this silent force. A word from a man who pos sesses it means more than a torrent of commands from the person who lacks it, who is all on the surface. Children never mind well when they are spoken to in. a high pitched, nerv ous voice and an irritable manner. Their antagonism p,n& obstinacy is In evitably aroused to comoat nerves and irritability, and the difficulty of gain ing obedience doubled. Mothers often wonder why their children mind their fathers better than themselves. There are several reasons for this: one is that men are more apt to have that force of charac ter that commands obedience; another is that the children see less of their fathers and therefore stand in more awe of them, and still another, to my thinking, is that men do not nag 1e way women do. A man told me once that he pitied any dog that belonged to a woman. "They always have a cowed look," he said, "because their mistresses are constantly nagging tnem with un necessary commands." It seems to me that is a description of the way many perfectly good women treat their children, nag them with un necessary commands. If you want to have your commands respected don't make them too numerous. Don't get the habit of constantly interfering with a child. Before you utter a com mand or a prohibition ask yourself if it is absolutely necessary, and with hold it if it isn't. A child has an inborn sense of Jus tice. Appeal to that sense instead of outraging it. Be ready to tell the child why. If you can inspire a child with the belief that you are trying to act reasonably and justly towards him in stead of merely wielding the authority of superior force, he will be more will ing to obey. To extort obedience by threats and bribes is one of the greatest tempta tions of the profession of motherhood. Occasional punishment and rewards are right, but constant threats and bribes are not. When you must pun ish, if you can make the punishment flow out of the crime you will estab lish a connection of cause and result that may make a deeper impression than an arbitrary whipping. Lastly, the parent who wishes to be obeyed must be firm. If he makes a stand he must hold to it (provided of course he does not feel that he has been wrong). In that case the best thing is to own up; To retreat from a command is to leave a. weak place for the entering wedge or the child's nat ural propensity to tease. And anyone who has ever had any thing to do with children knows that peace goes out of the window when a teasing child comes in at the door. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Ire is the worat half of satire. When a man is down and out he ia about all in. Most of us have a lot of friends when, we don't need them. It's so much easier to call a man a lier than it is to prove it. If you make a cat's-paw of a friend you are apt to get scratched. The man who never tried has no sympathy for the one who tried and failed. The female who parades the streets with a jag on thinks she's a perfect lady. But the average man would rather have people lie about him than tell all the truth. Marriage is the worst kind of a fail ure when a man marries for money and doesn't get 4t,f There's nothing in a name attached to the bottom of a check unless there is a bank balance behind it. With the dawn of the millennium we may have an ideal state legisla ture one that will repeal more laws than it passes. No doubt the average man would have plenty of time in which to get rich if he did not waste so much of it on schemes that won't work. VENICE. Still Venice sits upon her hnndred isles.

From her youth upward, Penelope had found her legs her bane. They were, you see, of classic proportion the long Greek lines sculptors adore. But Grandma Betton had fretted over them dreadfully they made it so hard to adapt handed-down gar ments. Betty, Penelope's next elder sister, outgrew her things before they were half worn. Yet the waists of them bagged on Penelope, the skirts hardly hiding her slim knees. Sitting, she seemed short, even at twelve. Standing, she was like a saphng so declared her family. Other folk lik ened her to a flower, or a stalk of wheat she was so thin and, withal, so lithely graceful. The pity of it, they did not tell her of her good points, A woman thrown, Penelope humbly, honestly thought herself a fright, and, consequently, was self-consciously awkward. This reacted upon a spirit naturally free and fine, making her sharp in speech, aggressive in spite of shyness, a thorn in the side of an easy-going family, firmly convinced that she would never marry a conviction that in her case, as with so many others, might have wrought its own fulfillment if Fate had not stepped in and ruled other wise. Penelope, however, accepted the spinster doom as fixed. Therefore she drew her fine hair away from her classic brow, wore the garments no body else cared to appear in after they had been bought, and thereby made herself as nearly a fright as a healthy complexion and very good eyes permitted. The joy of life for her centered in the theater, notwithstanding she had never felt the least inclination to make herself a part of it. Weekly she skimped on carfare, fallals and whatnots, not to mention cultivating' a violent hatred for ice cream sodas and sundaes of every persuasion, in order to go alone to a good matinee neither the movies nor the cheap stock houses allured her in the least. Each week she bought next week's ticket this way to make sure of an end seat. Only in an end seat, in most of the house, could she sit in any de gree of comfort- Those bothersome legs again! With the freedom of the aisle at her command, she could last about manage to avoid cramping in the course of an afternoon. Having her seat secured in advance, she went barely in time to see the cur tain rise, for then the row was likely to be filled and nobody woul-1 strug gle across those preposterous knees until after the first act. Judge, then, her mental state when all Intent upon seeing the star play of the winter, she found her chosen and paid-for seat occupied by an elderly man and the row filled with what was evidently a family party a sweet faced, white-haired woman, two uret ty girls, a young matron, vivacious and no-end stylish, and a very Kood looking young man, evidently her husband. Those two were unmistak ably urban, Penelope instantly ce- cided; the others had provincial writ ten all over them, but written inof fensively; probably father, mother and the girls come a-visiting and brought to see this particular play, because everybody else was seeing it. Penelope herself had to wait ;i fort night in order to secure the seat she wanted on the aisle. She waited with a. sort of grim sat isfaction the ousting of the intruder. The usher spoke sharply to the old man. Instantly the younger one leaned across, showing a handful of checks. The usher studied them intently, the house the while ringing with applause as the rising curtain disclosed a cou ple of stage favorites. Penelope grew impatient. "I should like my seat, if you please," she said with cold civility. The young man rose, stepped out in front of her, looked at the check the usher held, then said politely: "There's evidently a mix-up. Will you please tatke my seat; my father A glance at the old man's knees supplemented his ap peal. "I can't," Penelope returned, not too amiably. People all about frown ed; one bold soul hissed faintly. The old gentleman rose quickly, touched his son's arm and said: "We'll go back together, son. Maybe there is still standing room. Never mind now it won't tire me and I'm bound not to miss the play." "You live out of town?" Penelope said, her better nature returning promptly. "A thousand miles," he laughed. "So of course I want to see all the wonders." "You shall see this at your ease," Penelope assured him smilingly. "I can come to see it any afternoon "And this is his only chance," the young man interrupted gratefully. "My people are leaving town tonight else we should have waited for the evening performance. Still I don't like taking your seat. Come with me to the box office, please. It needs a good talking to." "Which I am quite equal to under take by myself. Sit down and see the play," Penelope decided, amazed at her own self-possession. She was even more astonished when, in the lobby to which he had followed her the young man touched ner arm, saying deferentially: "You must let me have your name here is my card. I simply can't thank you enough dad's heart was so set on this." Penelope took the card without looking at it. handing over her own, face down, in return. Then, with a quick "Go right back to dad!" she darted outside, resolved to have it out with the box office at a more con venient season. She had had excite ment enough for one day. She loitered through the shops, treated herself to tea at her favorite place and got home as usual, to out ward eyes. And somehow she felt an unusual exhilaration. She has been kind when she might has been nasty and the reflex was far from un pleasant. She looked at the card, of course, reading there "F. S. Adriance," with a club addresss below, which made her wonder a bit, until she decided he might be living with his wife at some hotel. On the whole, the mischance had turned cut to be a welcome nov elty in her rather humdrum life. Next afternoon she had a surprise the maid brought in cards for her Mr. and Mrs. Adriance had called to see her. Perhaps fate had previsions anyhow something had Inspired Pen to curl her hair and get into a pale violet afternoon frock that became her wonderfully well. Thus it hap pened she was all unlike the forbid ding tailor-made self the visitors ex pected to find. The change put them all at their ease. The Adriances, it turned out, had several friends who were well known to the Chesters. That had em boldened them to come over and ask Pen to make one of a theater party the following week, with a little sup per afterward. They would see to her safe conduct, with the mutual friends in the party to serve as social insur ance. Pen listened to the invitation as though in a dream she could hardly believe herself awake. But she managed to make a very neat accep tance, and announced the fact to her family at dinner with a successfully casual air. This was but the first of a series of happy outings to dinners, to theatres, to concerts and many delightful en tertainments. After six weeks of it Pen took herself sternly to task she was growing too fond of all this. She did not admit it even to herself, but she knew she was growing fond of Frank Adriance. He was not married, it turned out the gay young matron who sat by hia side at the theater was his sister-in-law. Her husband was abroad on business and thev were liv ing at a hotel for the winter. All this the vivacious sister-in-law-told Pen in the first ten minutes of their acquaintance, adding, with a sly glance toward her good-looking brother-in-law: "The Adriances do make such fine husbands. I hate to see one of them going to waste." Then she had run on quite unre servedly about how difficult Frank was polite to everything in petti coats, but "so unsusceptible!" Declar ed he wanted a wife not of the cut-and-dried sort a woman with char acter and a will of his own. She must be beautiful, too at that Pen man aged to change the subject. One day when she was at her worst sallow and hollow-eyed from her effort to crush her growing fond ness for Frank the affair came to a crisis. As it happened, she had dress ed herself in a forbidding, slouchy green something, at w-hich even econ omy in the person of Grandma Betton had cried out aghast. Yet when Frank Adriance, unannounced, came upon her in the library, on her knees, sorting old prints and papers, he did not pause to see what a fright she had made of herself. He lifted her to her feet, looking earnestly in her face and began with a husky tremor. "Pen darling I can't live without you so I I came at this unearthly hour to tell you "Me?" Pen cried incredulously, dragging him toward a big book case, the doors of which furnished a dis torted mirror. "Look! Such a fright! You you must be making sport of me!" "A fright! You're a goddess just now. I admit, slightly disguised!" Adriance returned, flinging his arms about her: "Say yes, dearest! I shan't let you go until you do." "You are sure?" Pen insisted trem ulously. "What can you see in me to love?" ."Yourself! J. loved,, you; the- minute I looked at yon itali and' slender and different the woman of all the world for me!"

GARDEN After Tommy Tittle-mouse learned that Mr. Spider would be eaten up if he did not happen to please his prospective mate, he scurried off home as fast as his little feet would carry him. "I think this is an awful world!" he cried to Mrs. Tommy as he rushed into his nest in the big log. "I don't like it one bit and I think creatures are horried!" "Dear me! Dear me!" exclaimed frightened Mrs. Tommy, "what ha happened to you!" She -ian up to Tommy and pushed her soft nose over his body. "Are you hurt?" she asked. "I don't find where you are injured! What is the trouble?" Tommy got his breath in two bin gulps (he had hurried so fast he was quite speechless for the minute), then he said pantingly. "No. I am not hurt one bit only just in my feelings. This is such an awful world, and I am Just finding out about it!" "Well, if that is all the trouble, I think you better stay home with me," said Mrs. Tommy positively. "I stay right here in our nest and I learn nothing. In that way I keep perfect ly happy and the big horrid world outside worries me not one bit! You better take my advice and stop ex ploring." "But I did take your advice when I went to learn more about Mr. Spider," grumbled Tommy; "and think what I learned!" "Oh, is it about him?" asked Mrs. Tommy. "What did you learn? Tell me that!" "I learned that spiders eat spiders and I think that is horrid!" exclaimed Tommy, too excited to notice how very inconsistent Mrs. Tommy's cu riosity was. "And yesterday I learned that birds) eat spiders! Oh, dear, this is a horrid world! Why can't creatures eat nice crumbs as we do? Tell me that!" Just at that very minute, before Mrs. Tommy could possibly answer his question (which was a good thing for her, as she knew no answer!). Mr. Garden Toad hopped by the door of Tommy's home.

People who have become alarmed by the agitation concerning the un preparedness of this country for de fense, and because of the Wild talk about the steady deterioration of our navy, may find something to interest them in the announcement made re cently by the bureau of construction of the navy. There are nearlng com pletion for the United sitntes navy thirteen submarines, ten destroyer and several auxiliary crafts; all. with the exception of two of the subma rines, more than 90 per cent com pleted Two superdreadnaughts, th Idaho and the Missouri, are under construction and the keel of the Cal ifornia is to be laid soon. The super dreadnaught Arizona was launched last week in the Brooklyn navy yard. Its sister ships, the Oklahoma, now 93 per cent completed; the Nevada, 92 per cent completed, and the Penn sylvania, 77 per cent completed, are expected to take water within the year. In case of emergency the Okla homa and Nevada, five of the destroy ers and six of the submarines couil be rushed to completion and piaced in commission on short order. The four superdreadnaughts alone represent 125.000 tons, and the destroyers ami submarines are among tho finest of their type ever designed. Wichita Eagle. From Other Pens HONEST DISSATISFACTION. Disatisfaction is not uncommon in this life. Indeed there are very few of us who are really satisfied with what we have, but, on the contrary, are con tinually drawing contrasts and mak ing comparisons and displaying re sentments and doing all those many little things which add to our own bit terness and increase the discomforts of others. When our dissatisfaction with life ia illustrated by petty jeal ousy and unreasonable resentment we are merely exhibiting a narrow and an intolerant spirit, and such mani festations on our part do not in the least indicate that we merit the good fortune we crave, or that we would know how to benefit by it if we pos sessed it. There is, however, another kind of which always reacts to our ad vantage. It Is founded not on jeal ousy of others, but on an ever in creasing ambition to surpass our own efforts. It is evidenced by a restless ness which finds expression in greater activities and renewed efforts, and it exorts a wonderful Influence for good not only upon ourselves, but upon all those with whom we may be associat ed. It is a good sign because it tells of growth and expansion. A man who is easily satisfied and who is content to keep to the old ruts never grows. He has already reached the limit of his possibilities so far as his ambition is concerned, and without the Influ ence of the latter quality it is impos sible to develop properly.

Serving customers satisfactorily means supplying them with products they ask for. This paper has a discriminating class of readers, and the greatest asset any retailer can have is to secure and hold their patronage. Our readers know what they want, so wh u they ask for any product by manufacturer's or trademark name, give them the identical article asked for. Any attempt to palm off a "Just as Good" will likely result in the loss of a sale and a valued customer. More and more dealers are dailjr experiencing the ad vantages of selling customers what they ask for. The advantages are "quicker sales" and "better-pleaded cus tomers," and it is a well-established fact that pleased customers will become permanent customers. The growth of any business depencs upon the alert ness, thoroughness and intelligence dispayed in cater ing to customers' wants. The readers of this paper have money to spend, and you can get your share of it if you'll always give them what they ask for.

PEN WELLj RAILROAD NEWS Compilation of Fiscal Year He ports Sow Going On. Interesting Figures Revealed in Late Comparisons. WAR HIT AMERICAN INDUSTRY In December and January, How ever, Business Picked Up. Other Items of General Interest in the Traffic World. Railroads all over the Vnited States are engaged in compiling reports for the period ended June 30, as the in terstate commerce commission re quires detailed figures for that period i for purposes of comparison. Looking at the situation from a strictly railroad point of view, the l period ended June 30 will not be a sood one. Comparisons reveal some interesting figures. In 1912 the gross earnings increased $221,000,000 and crossed the three billion dollar mark for the first time, while net for that year increased about sixty million dol lars, also a high-water mark. In 1913 there was a further increase of $142, 000.000 in gross, but net declines of $33,500,000. Last year there was a general re action in trade and railroad gross and net decreased $208,000,000 and $75, 000.000 respectively. These figures carried gross back to 1911 and net back to 1908, despite the increase of 10.000 miles of track. While the earnings were at the lowest level in 'six years, further complications came 1 in the war in Europe. Business began to show a decided i improvement last December and early i in January the 5 per cent rate in crease allowed by the I. C. C be came effective in the east. Then the allies began placing war orders and the railroads finally began to buy rails, equipment and supplies. While the returns for 1915 will be i poor, the prospects for 1916 are good. I During the last few years, especially 1915, the railroads have been forced I to practice strict economy: now that gross has begun to show an increase, the most may be made of the enlarged business. BIG SANTA FK FIKE. Repair Shed In Argentine Destroyed Monday Xight. Kansas City. Mo., July 20. A fire which started in one of the car sheds of the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe repair shops in Kansas City, Kan., Monday night destroyed the entire building and contents. The building was about 150 feet in width and 500 feet long, and contained much ma chinery besides many passenger and freight cars in course of repair. Jesse Lee, a negro porter, died as a result of being overcome by heat at the fire. The origin of the fire is not known Outgoing and incoming Santa Fe trains were delayed. The loss is esti mated at $100,0001 According to the general manager's office of the Santa Fe here, a part of the building was saved. The western 120 feet was not destroyed by the fire. Xight trains coming to Topeka from Kansas City were tied up in the yards two hours on account of the hose across the track. In the building were twenty-four passenger and freight cars and some valuable ma chinery. There has been no official estimate given of the total loss. "SAFETY FIRST" RECORD. Only One Train Passenger Killed on Southern Railway in Vcnr. More than sixteen and a half mil lion passengers a number greater than the combined population of Vir ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee and Kentucky were transported by the Southern railway during the year ending June 30 with only one fatal injury to a passenger, while on a train and tht one was standing on a car platform in direct violation of the company's rules. Of this great number of passengers, not one was killed in a train acci dent. This excellent record is shown in the official figures given out. indicat ing the high degree of safety that has been attained in the handling of Southern railway passenger trains. In marked contrast are figures re cently given out by President Fair fax Harrison of the Southern railway, showing that during the same period twelve persons riding in automobiles were killed in accidents at public highway crossings, every one of which accidents could have been prevented had the driver of the car observed the familiar warning: ".Stop, Look and Listen." Hood Loss Great, It would be hard to estimate the loss to Kansas railroads from the 1915 floods. Thousands of feet of track have been washed away and repaired: traffic in many instances ha? been ut terly demoralized; stations have been flooded: bridges have been carried away; wrecking crews have been working night and day. and all this at great txpense to the companies. The railroads will have spent millions for repairs by the time the trouble is all over. The heavy rains in Kansas. Missouri. Nebraska. and Oklahoma have caused them a lot of grief. SUMMER CONFERENCE.

Scores "Ignorance" of Jingoes and Hits "Subsidized" Press. San Francisco, Cal., July 20. Wm. J. Bryan addressed an audience that assembled to hear him, left when his speech was postponed because his ar rival was delayed, and reassembled three hours later when his train fin ally arrived. Mr. Bryan discussed "The Idea of Xeighborliness," before the combined sessions of the Asiatic institute and the American Historical society, in convention at the Panama-Pacific ex position. He said the Pacific should be a connecting link and not a bar rier between the white and the yellow races. "This thought I want you to take away with you." Mr. Bryan said. "The L'nited States is the friend of these countries and must remain the friend of these countries; and 1 believe this feeling is reciprocated fully by the peoples of the Pacific." Mr. Bryan explained that his im pression, gathered on visits to Asiatic countries, had influenced his judg ment on the question. He deprecated the efforts of the "jingoes' to arouse hostile feelings between the two races. "God forbid," he said. "that we should condemn the jingoes of Japan until we get rid of the jingoes of our country. "Those who are warning us against Japan are doing so because they do not understand, but that ignorance should not be allowed to continue.

FIND GLUE TO "PEARGE" Warning Letter to Brooklyn Paper Written on Defective Typewriter. New York. July 20. William J. Flynn. chief of the United States se cret service, had today photographic copies of a letter signed apparently by tne mysterious 'Pearce of New Or leans, from which he had obtained a clue that might lead to the identifi cation of the letter. The letter, received yesterday by the Brooklyn Eagle, warned Ameri cans to keep clear of British vessels sailing from New York and several other parts. It was dated at New Orleans, July 16. Chief Flynn said the letter was written on a typewriter defective in that it dropped slightly the letter "R."

K. Rust of Xetawaka. and Scott Mongold of Mentor, having arranged an interesting roads program. These men were instructed to work for bet ter roads legislation. J. W Lapham, postmaster at CJia nute, and secretary of the Kansas Postmasters' association, suggested that the present road law be changed so that property owners would pay half instead of three-fourths of the cost, the other half to be divided be tween the county and township W. S. Gearhart. state highway engineer, told the carriers that they are in a bet ter position than anyone else to carry the gospel of good roads over the state. The association is to have eight vie; presidents in the future instead cf one. These officers will serve as dis trict organizers in each congressional district in the state and a marked in crease in membership is expected in the state association. Monday night the dele-gates and their ladies were the guests of the Topeka Commercial club at the Novel ty theater. Reports of committees were heard this morning. There are approximately 1,800 rura.1 carriers in Kansas. 600 of whom are members of the association. There are 150 in attendance at- the meeiiitt.!. Mr. Docking's Address. Alfred Docking of Manhattan; ad dressed the membefs. jot .the associa tion this, morning upon "Highways and Byways." He spoke to them three years ago at the Manhattan meeting. On his trip abroad since he saw them last he had been unable to get away from the rural carrier. He cited some experiences near old Roslyn Castle, Scotland, in England, and on the con tinent, giving features of the visit of the Belgian carriers on- an efficiency tour of the British postoffice work while he was there. The systems were compared, and the difference in pay and mileage interested the Kan sas men. The carrier over there has little more than half the pay, and cov ers 17. or 18 miles afoot. The road systems were contrasted. Nearly two thousand years had elapsed since the Roman roads were made, and yet those part he was on are good today. .'The Napoleonic road system is a monument to the initiative of that Emperor, whereas all his other ambi tions are buried with him." he said. "The persistent mending of the rca Is over there commends itself to the thinking observer. They say that the road to a certain place is paved with good intentions. Are there not other roads which have that same pave ment? "Road building covers a wider field as you consider it than the mere high ways upon which we travel. We are helping to build roads between minds, roads reaching toward great ideals, i Carriers are having their part in this Our state is a road builder .llong these j lines, making a world highway for the nations to follow. Are we not i proud of her. a.a we think of her lead- ership in prohibition, suffrage, moral re-direction. The greatest habitat in the world for a nation-building, a race-making people. Here the cruci ble works better than In ny; part oT the world. "The bad and the good are found i nearly related. Professor Dickens j Rays that the reason our Kansas roads are so Daa is mat me ain is so goou. "The greatest problem upon the American continent today is that of j "the country, the country opportunity. Without the carrier the life would be 1 indeed barren. We spend vast sums1 of money for various counties in Kan- j pap. and we realize that we are get ting results for this outlay of money." Here the speaker had contrasting figures from townships and counties to show that some parts of the state that were not improving their roads were paying as much per mile as those that were building permanent j roads of rock, gragel and brick. He j resumed: i "We work on a one-year program. Far better to divide the classes of needed work into about lour, and make the class of worst condition new construction that is permanent, thus completing the year's road and bridge program with something definitely done. We ought to employ a man in each township the whole year. 1 am not sure but I am in favor of the j county general manager elected by the board and held tor the success of va- rious activities along the line of roads, I etc. It is a big business we run to- day.

Attorney General Brewster wrote to Charles Sessions, secretary to Gov ernor CappT, as follows: "Section 17 of the Bill of Rights of the Kansas constitution provides that no distinction shall ever be made between the citizens of the state of Kansas and the citizens of other states and territories of the United States in reference to the purchase, enjoyment or descent of property. Tne right3 of aliens in reference to the purchase, enjoyment or descent of propertv may be regulated by law. "This was adopted in 1888. The or iginal section of the constitution read: 'No distinction shall ever be made between citizens and aliens in refer ence to the purchase, enjoyment or descent of property." "After the adoption of this section of the bill of rights as it now stands, the legislature passed what is known as the aliens land law. prohibiting aliens from holding land. This was afterward repealed and the rights of the aliens to the purchase, enjoyment or descent of property in Kansas now depends upon the common law and not upon the statute of this state."

The new board of manastrs of the State Soldiers' Home at Dodge City has started a house cleaning. There are too many teachers, too many em ployees, too heavy a pay roll and too much general expense, -.he board holds. Besides, a number of the em ployees are Democrats and the house cleaning is to 'be thorough and the re organization systematic. One of the first places where trouble will start for the soldier home em ployees is in the management of the soldier cemetery. Then the under- taker at the home is tp lose his job. Next a few teachers in the school are to be separated from the pay roll. j There may be other changes later. Just now the board will give its un- j divided attention to these matters. "When we took charge of things re- eently," said Col. J. N. Harrison, a j member of the soldiers' home board, "we found that a farmer, a gardener, a sexton and an adjutant were re quired to keep the home's cemetery :n shape. We started in by consolidat ing all four jobs and firing the man j appointed to fill the four places. I "Another place to toe removed is the 1 iob of soldiers' home undertaker. The undertaker gets $600 a year. But the work is done in Dodge City and the state will save that money. "There is also a soldiers' Ijome blacksmith salary $40 a month. Last year he sharpened two plows and kept ten head of horses shod. We 1 could hire the whole year's work done for $50." Today Colonel Harrison appealed to the attorney general's office for a rul ing which would permit the discharge of two of the four teachers in the school. There are 59 pupils in the school and the teachers to be dis charged were employed for another year by a Democratic official.

FORTYHOMlSINTLOOD Appeal Issued for Tents to Shelter High Water Victims. "Have you any clippers or scissors, or anything that will cut hair," In quired" Mrs. D. M. McGrath, police matron, of Harvey Parsons, chief of police. "That boy's hair is simply matted and gummed with grime so I cannot do a thing with it." explained the motherly police matron. "I have put him to soak in the bath tub. After he has had his bath, I am going to make him wash his underclothes." The boy in question is an under sized Chicago urchin 11 years old. He is so small Chief Parsons called him a runt and declined to lock him up with the other prisoners. "The Runt" and three other boys only a little larger, and one of them a brother of the smallest, were picked up by Policeman Crummer at the Santa Fe depot today. The combina tion of youthfulness and general grim iness attracted the officer's attention. According to the boys, they left Chi cago four months ago to "hobo" and Springfield, 111., July 20.

Wasson. city commissioner of finance, has a list of names which at least one Topeka banker would like to have. It is a list of persons who are prospective buyers of Topekn bonds. An issue of $135,000 of local improvement bonds is being sold by the city. Under the "Topeka plan" of selling bonds, individual investors are given the preference. The bonds are in de- nominations or jauti and tne person who wishes to buy one bond is given i the first opportunity over those who wish to make larger purchases. A person wishing to buy a bou t gives his name to W. H. Wasson. city commis I sioner of finance. According to Was son the present issue is very largely over-subscribed. The demand is larger than the supply and Wasson has a long list of Topeka people who are waiting an opportunity to buy bonds. This list would be valuable to any person in the bond brokerage business. "This Topeka banker first asked m. to give him this list," said Wasson. "Naturally I declined, for I would merely be turning my list of clients over to competing bond sellers. Then this banker offered me fifty cents for each name I would give him. I told him that if he ever succeeded in get ting this list it would not cost him one cent, but that he could not buy it for $100 a name, as my first duty is to protect the city's interests. He has not yet got the list." INFORMATION FOR TOPEKA AUTOiSTS The roads today are a trifle better than they were Monday. The Golden Belt and Red Line west are in fairly good shape, except for one or two stretches between Topeka and Silver Lake.

The general condition of roads from Illinois to western Kansas, according to long-distance motorists, is bad. The sun sets tpnight at 7:45 o'clock. Auto and motorcycle lights must be on at 8:15 p. m. Paris, July 20. An autograph let ter from Pope Benedict to Cardinal Amette, archbishop of Paris, con tains the following: "We absolutely disavow Latapie's article, which represents neither our ideas nor words, and was published without revision or permission." Pope Benedict's letter was in reply to a letter from Cardinal Amette, who said that the Latapie- interview had produced a painful impression in France. La Liberie of Paris on June 21. pub lished what was described as an inter view with Pope Benedict obtained by Louis Patapie. The article attracted world wide attention because of senti ments attributed to the pope. Among other things the pope was represented as declining to comment on the in vasion of Belgium, on the ground that it occurred under the pontificate of Pius X; as taking the position, when questioned as to reports of alleged cruelties on the part of Germans, that similar acts were said to have been committed by other nations and the Vatican was not a court to give judg ment on contradictory assertions; and as asserting the Italian government had taken twenty members of the Vat ican guard and that letters addressed to the Vatican had been opened by censore.

IN NORTH TOPEKA HUBUB OF WAR PREPARATION NOW HEARD OVER ALL OF SPAIN Kansas Boy Makes Good Southern States. in avi Ye r age $22.50 American Magazine Gives Clyde i Ii. larls Story. j f A Shawnee county boy who has made good in the big outside world, is j Clyde L. Davis, of Aberdeen, X. C, j who arrived vesterday for a visit to j his sister, Mrs. Willis Hardick, of j North Topeka. Mr. Davis was gradu- ated from Harvard college in the I spring of 1913 and shortly after de- vised a scheme which he put into op- eration for the government, with head- quarters at Washington. D. C. With a i moving picture outfit Davis ami his partner toured the south for I'ncle j Sam teaching the farmers better farm- tng methods. While on his trips over j the south, Davis made good to such an extent that tne board of trade of Aberdeen. X. C, induced him to be- come secretary their organization j and one year ago he took up his new work. 1 The American Magazine for March, j under the heading: "Two Boys With a Great Idea." has this to say of him: The response with which the far- mors of the south meet Clyde L. Davis and his partner, Roger I Treat, in their work of uplifting farm conrti- tions in that section was really extra- ordinary, and letters came in to the department of agriculture from all i over the south. A large developing j plant had to be installed in Washing- ton to carry on their work of teach- ing the farmers by means of moving pictures." Mr. Davis addressed the student bodies of Harvard. Yale and i Princeton last spring on the subject of "The Southern Farmer." Parent -Teachers Meeting. At the parent teachers- meeting of. the Quincv school last night the ques- tion was discussed whether the ladies should plan for a lunch counter at the state fair next fall. They decided not to undertake the scheme since the expense involved would be more than they could make. The members of the association are now making plans to hold a series of dinners next fall instead of trying to serve lunches at the state fair. Dimes Make Dollars. A missionary meeting of the North Topeka Baptist church will be held this afternoon at the home of Mrs. L. K. Anderson of Xorth Jackson street. About two weeks ago the Rev. Garnett W. Handley made a loan of a dime to each of the ladies of the society and the dimes together with the interest earned by them are to be returned this afternoon. Some report that as high as $4 have been made by a single dime M fe -tes f -111 Some crack infantrymen of the Thir teenth Spanish regiment and queen presenting Academy of Infantry with standard she made herself. Now Spain is busy with many sorts of plans for war. Many people think she is preparing to join with the side that will profit her the most toward the close of hostilities; some say she has an eye on Portugal and Gibraltar. Spanish leaders refute insinuations of selfish designs and declare that the only object is preparedness, just the same sort of preparedness that is being; urged in the United States. They say Spain merely wants to be ready for eventualities. But certain it is that drilling goes on everywhere and patriotic demon strations are the order of the day. At the annual ceremonies or the Academy of Infantry, just held at Toledo, Queen Victoria presented the academy with a new standard, the design of which she had worked her self, and at the same time delivered a patriotic address.

A cheap and efficient way of ren dering well water free from danger ous germs is advocated by Dr. Harold B. Wood, city physician.

When Governor Capper returns from the expositions he is expected to designate two days for the working of the roads in all of Kansas. The dates probably will be late in August or in the first part of September. The information was given out by Charles Sessions, the governor's private secre tary. iJamage to roads in Kansas due to the unusual amount of rain will reach large figures, probablv running into millions. Floods in the Kaw valley damaged the roads in that district alone to the extent of $400,000. The naming of two days when every ablebodied farmer tn the state is ex pected to work on the roads seems to be a srood thing for the state. The by the board of movie cen- i length of time ought to be sufficient if the people will take an interest in the movement.

This European war is a perfect blessing from above to some of the would-be high flyers. You have met some of them, no doubt, who have told you, with tears in their eyes, that the trip abroad they had planned, first for last year, and then for this summer, had been ruined by the horrid old quarrel over there, and now they are awfully disappointed at their trip be ing ruined, so they are going to set tle down and not away at all, unless perhaps they go down to Excelsior for a few week-ends. -Between you a nd me and the emperor of Germany, they couldn't really afford a trip to Jola unless they traveled on passes. Silk frocks of this type have been the favorites for wear at summer rac ing events and horseshows.

The Congressional Union- for Woman Suffrage, which is nolding meetings In San Francisco, and with whom Miss Iris Calderhead, of Kansas, is do ing active work, are telling a little story about the peace 'advocate. Wil liam Jennings Bryan. The party of California suffragists who wished Bryan to speak on behalf of national suffrage, were refused abruptly by him. Bryan, in addressing the 'council of 1 women voters, spoke enthusiastic-ally i S3 ;m of suffrr- in general, declaring that world suffrage for women would bring about world peace. But when Mrs. Sara Bard Field, a well known western suffragist who was a material factor In the Oregon and Nevada cam paigns, asked him to speak for the na tional suffrage cause for the Congres sional Union the peace advocate lost his temper. "Madam." he said, "I would never move one inch to speak for a body of women that opposed my party." Mrs. Field pointed out that the Con gressional Union had at present no quarrel with any party, and asked if he believed in standing by his party, right or wrong. Ignoring the point Bryan said heatedly, "The Democratic party, at the expense of labor and tribulation of spirit, has taken up and solved the two paramount issues be fore the country tariff and currency reform. Any body of women oppos ing a party which has made such a record has not my support." "But," persisted Mrs. Field, "you said that world suffrage meant world peace, and yet you oppose an organ ization trying to win suffrage for American women in the most direct way, with the least expenditure of time and money, and merely using the political tactics men have always used." "I do not doubt your conscience," was Bryan's only concession, "but I cannot agree with your method simply because your are conscientious." Fol lowing this rebuff Mrs. Field, made the following statement: "Mr. Bryan criticised the policy of the Congressional Union in opposing the Democratic party last fall, on the ground that his party was wrestling with what he termed the 'paramount issues' before the United States, name ly, tariff and currency reform. Yet Mr. Bryan has not hesitated to deliver a more telling rebuke to the leader of the Democratic party, and through him to the whole party by criticizing the president's' note to Germany, not alone by words, but by his public withdrawal from office at a critical time for the administration. Mr. Bryan, in criticizing our method of re buking a party, forgets that poli ticians can be rebuked in but one way by withdrawal of suifort on the part of voters" Notes and Personal Mention Mrs. Fred "Slater, or Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, has arrived in Topeka, called by the serious illness of her father, Mr. W.

The record will be in cluded in the annual report of the office and is a thorough and official record of the state's municipalities. It is not an easy task to compile the record of Kansas towns. Every few weeks some new town is launched and it finds a place in the returns from the county assessors. But the town most frequently is slow to make official organization or incorporate. In many instances residents of the small towns prefer to delay organiza tion as a means of cutting down pub lic operating expenses. So the sec retary of state's report covers only the organized towns and cities of the state and is published in alphabetical order for the convenience of state of fices and departments. The record for this year shows ten first class cities in the state and 75 citjes of the second class. The cities of the first class under the state law are towns with a population in ex cess of 10,000, while cities of the sec ond class have a population of more than 2,000 and less than 10,000. Of the 593 towns, the remaining 50? are in the third class. These towns, under the state law may organize and incorporate with a population of 100 or more, charter being issued by th3 local board of county commissioners. Charters to cities of the first and second class are issued by the gov ernor. During the year just ended, but one Kansas town changed its charter from a city of the third class to a city ot second class That was the town of Liberal, Seward county.
