LONDON, December 30.-It is
strange to note that as the New Year
dawns for Great Britain the greatest
army she ever put in the field remains
passive in South Africa. held at bay
by two of the smallest republics OLE the
face OF the earth, while at home, IN
spite of the large volume Of trade and
apparent prosperity, her financial in
terests are in a state of instability not
seen since the Barring crash. All Eu-
rope is yelping at her heels, and the
necessity for Americas friendship is
recognized on all sides. Papers and
people, that for years have been ready
with a jibe for Americas good will, no
longer make any attempt to belittle the
desirability Of securing her friendship.
America says the Globe, which is
usually humorous at the expense of all
things transatlantic, with a crop of
542, O00, 900 bushels, is especially in a
position to help us"
The Shoe
already begins to pinch the military
foot. Not very seriously, but enough
to suggest grave cogitations as to
what would happen If Great Britain
were at war with a great power. The
fact that the government has char
tered so many transports has resulted
in a rise in the price of bread. while
coal is rising by leaps and bounds to
famine prices. 1t is such unpleasant
results as these that silence the scoffer
at things American and induce such
a vituperative publication as the Sat
urday Review to say:
"The Americans have had their eyes
opened to the possibilities of a foreign
policy and are taking a sounder and
cooler view of the situation. They are
not less friendly to us than before, but
the insincere element has been elimi-
mated and has left a reliable sub-strat-
UNI of good will"
Which concentration the Saturday
Review under different circumstances
would doubtless have construed into
damning evidence of the insincerity
of American friendship.
1t must not be inferred that this view
is held by many of the sincere English
friends of America, who now point to
what they are pleased to term its great
friendliness as proof OF what they have
always maintained.

will develop into a widespread boycott
The ministers are appealing to their
congregations to pledge themselves to
not read a newspaper publishing sun

on the church to fight the battle and
advises that the boycott be extended to

A protest meeting was held in London

man of the technical education board,

The Circus Will Be at Topeka Wednes-
day, May II.

Ringing Brothers popular big circus
May H.. This will be good news to all
who enjoy a first class circus, and none
better than Ringing Brothers has ever
exhibited here. Topeka gets the show
this year, as it did two years ago, at
an unusually early spring date, SO that
everything will be new and bright, and
still untarnished by "a long season on
the road. The show is now exhibiting
in Chicago to the largest business in it's
history and the newspapers of that city
declare the performance SurpaSSeS in
novelty and magnitude anything ever
before presented, even by these progress
sive Showmen. The show closes it's Chi
cago engagement at the end of next
week, and then has a week of one night
stands prior to a weeks season in st.
Louis. From ST. Louis the show jumps
direct to Kansas City, for two days,
and Topeka is the next on the list.
Since the show last exhibited here it
has grown in every department, and
many new features, never before seen
in this country, are announced The
management says that a successful eff
fort has been made to revive the genu-
inc old time circus, but I'M
eQualled scale of magnitude, and with
the improvements suggested by years
of experience. This will meet with gen.
eraI appreciation among all who enjoy
a real circus, with all it's old-fashioned
accessories. Topeka is ripe for a big
show, and Ringing Brothers circus will
be cordially welcomed.
