The declaration of a commercial blockade of Greece by the entente powers has produced a marked imprrssion in Athens, particu larly as it was tmexpected. One Athens dispatch to the Petit Journal says the newspaper organs of the Greek government accuse the al lies, especially Great Britain, of seek ing to drag Greece into the war bv harsh measures. These papers assert Greece has given sufficient proof, that she intends to maintain the policy of benevolent neutrality and has had no thought of taking hostile steps.

"It will be impossible to forecast the work of the session or the plans of the Re publican members until we know something of the things which the other fellow has in mind. Just now it is quite indefinite and uncertain and the course of Republican members will not be definitely determined until after the opening of the session." Senator Curtis stated that he did not at this time propose the introduc tion of anv important measures dur ing the early weeks of the session. He with other Republican members of the senate and house will merely play a watching game until the Democrats have shown their hand.

JTI TOPF.FA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, NOVERT 29- 15. SLICE FOR KANSAS Congressman Taggart Will Ask for. a Share In Any Bigr Appropriation for Military Preparedness. ARMS AND MUNITIONS PLANTS They Should Be Located in the Interior, He Says. Should Be Surrounded by a System of Rock Roads. Ordnance and munition p Inn to in the United States would be destroyed in a few days under an attack by a foreign country, according to Joseph Taggart, congressman from the Sec ond Kansas district. The Kansan will for that reason urge strong interior as well as coast defenses and the buildinir of federal rock roads to all important forts. Supply depots must be) located a safe distance from the strategic points of attack, the Kansas congressman declares. This is a lesson which Tag gart believes the United States should learn from the war game in Europe, lie points to the troubles of France and Russia which located big muni tion plants too near the German bor der. With an adequate preparedness, Tacrgart believes there is little or no danger from a foreign enemy 3,000 to 4,000 miles across seas. "If the United States were invaded by a great foreign power, our ord nance and munition plants, whicn are mostly located in the enst and near N(w York, could be destroyed in a few days by air craft," Taggart iold the State Journal correspondent in Washington. Following out the suggestion by Oencral William Cfozier. chief of ord nance of the army, Taggart will urge interior defenses. He will introduce a bill for the establishment in Kansas City or in Kansas of a central ord nance and ammunition plant by the government. Commenting on his plans. Congressman Taggart said: What Taggart Says: "This war has taught the world to appreciate the necessity of having mil itary supply depots in secure places. By a strange fatality many of the supply depots and factories of France are near the frontier and are now in the hands of the Germans. Warsaw was one of Kussia's greatest arsenals, only a short distance from the Ger man border. Even the great Krupp gun factory at Essen is less than one hundred .niles from the French bor der. Woolwich arsenal, seven miles i lull l- r f I ,iilii,i Tlli"lll (1 I VlO first object of destruction if an attack were made on London. "Nearly all of our factories for mil itary supplies are east of the Alle ghany mountains. If the United States wtre invaded by a great pow er these factories could be destroyed in a few days by air craft and yet aerial navigation is in its infancy. The whole territory along the Atlantic coast might be occupied by the enemy." Congressman Taggart has given much study to the question of land defenses and at the coming session will endeavor to have some of his ideas enacted into law. 'The old-fashioned fortress is near ly in the same category as a battle ship." he declared. "For instance, the forts at Kovne were simply groups of artillery that seemed to be assem bled conveniently so that they could be 'pot-shotted' by the German howitzers. A few 42-centimeter or 16-Inch shells thrown up in the air and dropped inside a fort as was done at Liege and Maubege soon tell the tale. Howitzer Is the Thing. "Field artillery except howitzers is useless against men in trenches. This was always true. A heavy artillery, confined to one spot is also useless when the fort is turned.' "Defenses should now be at least twenty or twenty-five miles away from the place defended. Railroads and macadam roads should be built along the positions ind locations for mounting and mooring heavy artillery, and the lines for trenches selected. "Forrest, who was a livery stable keeper, and who gained a world-wide reputation as a cavalry leader, always depended on 'getting there first with most men.' This must be modified now. "Success depends on having the greatest number of heavy guns in the right place at the right time and ef fectively served. It isn't practicable to move such guns on dirt roads. "What I believe are the greatest es sentials of national defense against in vasion is first to have means of trans portation already prepared whereby heavy artillery can be massed at any given point in the shortest space of time; and, secondly, the selection be forehand of defensible positions for entrenchments. "Some orator said that 'every hill was a fortress and every heart a shield.' He stumbled onto the truth as to every hill being a fortress. A half dozen howitzers, behind a hill, .and served by trained men, are now the best fortification. At least three lines of railroads, and macadam roads built several miles apart along stra tegic lines with foundations for guns along the track so that they could be quickly taken off and mounted, I be lieve will be the defense of cities in the future, and the only logical coast de fense that can be proposed." About the Dardanelles. "What about the Dardanelles?" Congressman Taggart was asked. "Their forts have not been attacked with howitzers," said he. "This is the whole story. Naval guns are made to destroy battleships by direct impact. They can't do the work of howitzers." Asked what he thought this country would do in case of foreign invasion, Mr. Taggart made this observation: "Foreign invasion I think is simply a troubled dream. Other people are Just as smart as we are. They will carefully calculate on the result be SEE a i7 n pn o) Before You isuy Write If You Cannot Call 822 KANSAS AVE. rcrott BRANCH fore they undertake the Invasion of a distant country protected by oceans. It depends on what they think they will come home with when the war is over. "An invasion by any country at a distance of the three or four thousand miles against any people who are will ing to defend themsevles would be a bootless undertaking. When the At lantic and Pacific were scooped out our greatest defense was planned." INTO THE TOLTEC RITE A Class of 25 Takes Degrees at Ma sonic Temple.

They were distributed among the inmates of the home and every old soldier who felt the need of extra wearing apparel was cared for in the distribution. Since last year a large number of inmates have moved, died or been ousted from the home. Additional veterans have come to take their places. Many of them are as badly in need of overcoats as were the veterans who were sup plied by the state in 1914. But there are no coats for them. "How many suits of underwear do you give each old soldier?" was asked of John Sidlow, quartermaster. "Two," was the reply. "They may have their efkoice between cotton or fleece lined." That is the care and tender protec tion which the state will give the vet erans this win.ter. Sidlow was asked about the suits allotted by the state. He Informed the committee that the state bought but one weight uniform and it did service both in July and January. The state does not provide summer weight underwear. In the judgment of the state, underwear for the old soldiers in the summer months if an extrava gance and not in accord with the plans for economy and efficiency. At the Hospital. At the hospital 19 aged men and women were being cared for in three rooms. All of these patients have passed the three score and ten year mark. They are bundled and huddled together in the little stone building be cause there is no other place to care for them. Last winter the legislature appro priated money for a new hospital at the home. No move, however, has been made to build the new hospital and it is probable that the building may be postponed and the monev ul timately revert to the state general revenue fund. "Where is your operating room?" a visitor asked a hospital attendant. "We usually operate right here." replied the attendant, indicating the room in which three or four aged women were confined by various ail ments. Then the attendant led the way to a little room the reception office, he called it where the visitor was shown an ancient operating table. It was the proud equipment of the soldiers home medical staff. "How many prescriptions are filled here each month?" was asked of Dr. Jones, assistant physician. "About thre9 thousand," was the reply. Persons who have followed the In vestigation of the home believe the committee will make some reference to the daily demand for 100 pre scriptions and the inadequate and an cient facilities for the care and treat ment of the inmates.

P.WHTTM0IS GREECE BOTTLED UP (Continued from Page One.) withdrawal of Greek troops from the frontier or even in partial demobiliza tion. The section of the press which sup ports former Premier Venizelos ac cuses the government of having brought on by want of- foresight, a conflict with the entente powers. The general feeling, however, is one of optimism, and it is believed serious misunderstandings will be avoided. Berlin Is Bitter. Berlin, Nov. 22. The Overseas News agency characterizes the com mercial blockade of Greece by the en tente powers as "an act of violence against a small neutral country which intends to maintain neutrality without engaging in intrigues." The blockade it says, "agrees exceedingly well withy the practice of the entente powers in regard to questions affecting the sov ereignty of small nations." 2,600 More Serbs Taken. Berlin, Nov. 22. The capture of more than 2,600 Serbians was an nounced ty the German war office to day. Five cannon and four machine guns were taken in the field opera tions, while in the Novipazar- arsenal fifty large mortors and eight cannon of an old type were found. Little activity on either th? Rus sian front or that in France and Bel gium is reported by German army headquarters in today's official state ment. It is announced that the Rus sians were driven back when they made an advance near Illoukst in the Dvinsk region. Only artillery engagements took place along the western line. Activity of the French artillery arm between the Meuse and the Aloselle, in the Champagne district and east of Lune ville, is mentioned. Serbians Win Victory. Paris, Nov. 22. The report that the Serbians have won an important vic tory over the Bulgarians near Lesko vats, on the Nish-Salonika railroad, 25 miles south of Nish, is corroborated in a dispatch received today from the Serbian minister at Athens. The mes sage says that after a battle of several days, in which the Bulgarians sus tained enormous losses, the remnants of their army fled in disorder to the eastern bank of the Morava river. The victory is regarded as a definite one, the message says, securing that part of the line from further attack for some time. Italians in Advance. Rome, Nov. 21 "Via Paris, Nov. 22. Italian troops have made an impor tant advance on the Isonzo front, especially on the heights northwest of Girizia according to an official state ment Issued today at the headquarter of the general staff. The grounc gained was retained, it is claimed, in spite of vigorous Austrian counter attacks. Comparative Lull in West. Paris, Nov 22.- The report from the war office this afternoon follows "Nothing of importance occurred with the exception of fighting witl grenades in the Artois district anu engagements between patrols in Lor raine." THERE IS NO RUSH Few Foreigners Are Making Applica tion for CitUenship. In spite of the usual belief that on account of the war foreigners in this country are clamboring for naturaliza tion W. L. Wolf, naturalization ex aminer from St. Louis, who is in To pekt today for the hearing of six ap plications before the United States dis trict court, stated that there was no special rush on the part of foreigners to become citizens of this country- "The number of people seeking final naturalization papers has not in creased to any extent," said Mr. Wolf. "Our big rush came in 1913 when the foreigners wanted to get their final papers" before the new law which was passed in 1906 annulled their original declaration of intention." One of those who applied for final papers this afternoon, Mrs. Marie A. Laff, of 1126 Tyler street, presented an interesting case. Mrs. Laff, who is interpreter for the claims department of the Santa. Fe railroad, speaks five languages English, French, Spanish, German and Russian, and she Is a political exile from Russia, the home of her husband who died several years ago. She teaches a class of Mexican and Russian Santa Fe apprentices at the shops. Because she was in France six months before the war began and during her five years of continuous residence in the United States there is some question as to her right to final citizenship papers. The other applicant? wh oappeared before the court this afternoon were: A. W. Mason, Tokeka; Themisktokle John Reklites, a Greek, of Topeka; Hercule J. Pesserie, a Belgian, of St. Marys; Maurice Murphy and Simon Frederick, of St. -Marys. Final naturalization papers were granted this afternoon to Pessemier, Murphy and Frederick. The applica tions of the other three were denied. MAN IS BURIED Pathetic F'uneral, of Hobo, Hero of Atlanta Girl's Fancy. Chicago, Nov. 20. The body of the unidentified hobo which served for a time as the hero of an Atlanta girl's morbid fancy, was-buried with ceremony here today. Over the body a sermon preaching charity to the unfortunates of the world was preached at the Cathedral -of St. Peter and Paul. From the casket the name of "Dr. Alleyne Hensley," be stowed on her phantom lover by Miss Julia Crumley, of Atlanta, had been erased and there was no other name to take its place. A pinched little bouquet of chrys anthemums, roses and geraniums alone ornamented the coffin. It was a gift from hoboes now in Chicago. Ho boes headed by Jeff Davis, president of the Hoboes Union of America, were the pallbearers. Expenses are said to have been paid by Miss Crum ley's family. PITTSBURG MAN KILLED A.

DIES OF BKOKEN HEART Teddy Rooatn felt, Biggest Buffalo at Gage Parkr Is 'o More. Teddy Rposefltt is dead of a broken heart. Teddy was' the biggest buffalo in Gage park a,year ago when he was roped and forced to submit to the touch of a human hand while screw worms were being extracted from a wound in his head. But this insult was not half of his burden. He was kept in a pen by himself for two weeks. He had been boss of the herd, but when he was turned back with the others, he discovered that Bill Taft, another big buffalo, had usurped his place as head of the herd. "When we roped him over a year ago he was the biggest and fattest in the her(i," said Sid Hercules, keeper of the zoo. "But when we put him back with the others he seemed to have lost his spirit Even the smallest of the buffaloes whipped him. He never ate heartily and started falling off in flesh." W. L. Porter, city commissioner of parks, and Hercules held a consulta tion over Teddy last week and decided that Teddy should be put out of his misery. "He was to have been killed today," said Porter, "but he beat us to it by just lying down and dying." All the others of the herd are in excellent condition. Teddy had the finest head of. any, and this, when mounted, will sell for $50. The hide with the long fur will be tanned and made Into a robe or rug.

WHEAT Wheat suf fered a decided break in value today ow ing mainly to larger receipts in the north west and to lower cable quotations. Pre dictions of continued favorable weather had an additional beariBh effect, and so did reports that a complete blockade of Greece was in operation. Besides, there were reports that a Scandianavian steam ship line to the United States had been compelled by war difficulties to abani-on all traffic. Opening prices here, which ranged from v-c to lglc down, were fol lowed by a slight rally; then came a set back lower than before. The huge increase of the United States visible supply appeared to have been fully anticipated. After the total was an nounced, shorts tried to cover, but found no offerings. The result was a' quick rally in prices. Closing quotations were strong at ?Ae to c net advance, with December at $1.03 and May at $1.06- CORN Corn gave way with wheat. The market also was influenced by prospects of larger receipts. After opening c to lower, prices underwent a little addi tional 'decline. Corn recovered later when wheat took an upturn. The close was unsettled at a shade off to c up, compared with Satur day's finish. OATS Oats followed other cereals down grade. Buyers were scarce. PROVISIONS Provisions rose on ac count of the average weight of hogs. Ar rivals here were the lightest on record. It was assumed that lard production would be hindered. Chicago drain Market.

Kolieved Missouri River Once Flowed Through Republican Valley. the mills stores companV. Order by mail Satisfaction or your money Back Order by phone the mills stores company. Lawrence, Kan.. Nov. .22. -Kansas has very few streams of any size now flowing in their original channels and the numbers of waterless river beds in the state are a result. Investigations of Frcfesser J. F. Todd, of the depart ment of geoolgy of tne University of Kansas, show. About 300,000 years ago. Professor j Todd estimated recently, the Missouri j river did not flow along the north- I eastern border of what is now Kansas, i Instead, he said, it wended its way through the present Republican valley j and dug the channel the Kansas river I now occupies. Several thousand years j before that, it was pointed out, it ran I south of Topeka through the valley of j the Wakarusa and the Marais des Cygnes and found its way to its pres- j frit channel near Jefferson City Professor Todd believes also that j about four thousand centuries ago the Kansas river flowed south of what is now the site of Lawrence. It followed I the present channel of the Wakarusa j to Kudora and cut out the valley south j of Mount Oread and later cut north of i the hill and found its way to the pres ent channel. Professor Todd attributed a number of the waterless river beds in the state toglaciers. "When the glaciers invaded north ern Kansas, they pushed everything. including rivers, before them." he I said. "Further north, the rivers were completely covered by the ice sheet, j These streams waited until the ice j melted and then followed their old beds. But in Kansas, on the edge of the advance, the strcums were pushed; over to the side until the glaciers had i receded and then they made efforts to j get back to their oln channels. When j they failed they left waterless inden- j tations and occasionally another j stream would work its way into the abandoned channel. GALLS ON THE FARMERS Secretary Molilcr Asks Statement of ir-usiness lone This Year. N-itu-vs are being sent out this week tr. the correspondents cf the state de partment of agriculture in the various Kansas counties, to prepare estimates showing the aggregate yield and value of the farm products in their localities for the year 1915. The notices ask that the report be mailed December 1, and .1. C. Mohler. secretary, assert ed that the figures for the state prob ably will be made public about Jan uary 1. The reports will include, it is said, the average yield to the acre on the entire acreage planted, and the aver age value for the year of a bushel, gallon or ton of the product. The no tices also call for the average value! during the year, of the horses, mules, cows, cattle, sheep and swine. Ques tions are asked as to whther or not the ground has been favorable for sowing, germination and the growth of wheat during the fall and as to what wheat seeding has been com pleted. "The report is nearly a month late this year," Mr. Mohler explained to day, "because of weather conditions. The seeding of wheat has been very late this year." The corn was full of j moisture and unfit for cribbing much earlier. We hope now, however, to get actual yields." COMING TO TOPEKA Missouri Pacific Will Establish a Law Office Here- It is reported from an authentic source that the Missouri Pacific rail way will open a law office in Topeka. The report is based on the fact that A. E. Crane of Atchison, a member of the firm of Waggener, Cha-llis Crane, Missouri Pacific attorneys, has purchased a home in Topeka and in tends to live here. Business for the Missouri Pacific often brings Mr. Waggener and his as sociates to Topeka. The legal offices for Kansas are located at Atchison. Therefore, it is pointed out, it would be practicable for the Missouri Pacific to open a law office here and put Mr. Crane at the head. No official announcement of this probable change has yet been made. Mr. Crane was not in the city today. Weekly Bank Clearings. New York, Nov. 22.
