Road Near Topeka.

For many miles out of Topeka, Kan,
to the west there is an almost ideal
dirt road that has been made and kept
in condition by use of the road drag.
When the rain or snow falls this
road becomes little muddy on top
but the mud is never deep, and there
are no ruts or "chuck holes" 1t Is
so graded that the drainage is perfect
and it dries off almost Immediately.
This splendid road has taken the
place of one that was almost impas
sable in bad weather and very rough
In good 1t cost the labor and expense
Of one dragging per month and was
made possible by the activity of one
man who interested his neighbors
Now the neighbors would not will
ingly do without 1t. Such roads are
possible in most neighborhoods in Kan
sas.

THE RACE FOR
\ DREADNOUCHTS
How Experts Appralse Navles
Of Great Nations.
GREAT BRITAIN IS STILL FIRST.
Two American Wsrships, Utah and
Florida, Are Largest In Service Of
Leading Powers, While the New
York Will Excel Any Being Built.

Since the new American Dread
nought Utah arrived in port at New
York to join her sister ship. the Flor
Ida, now nearing completion at the
Brooklyn navy yard. naval men have
been discussing with renewed interest
the relative position of American sea
fighters as compared with the navies
Of the other nations. While experts
copcede that Great Britain has the
largest aggregate of warships, with
EITHER Germany or the United States
second, 1t is asserted that the two new
breadnoughts of the United States out
rank In size and strength anything
2foat.
D. The British battleships Lion and
HOrion will excel the two newest Amer
lean ships. but neither of these is as
yet in service. Germany also has a
number of powerful Dreadnoughts in
course of construction, but the largest
German ship in commission is Of less
tonnage and efficiency than the Utah
and Florida. which have displacements
of $4,000 tons each as compared with
the original Dreadnought of $4,000
tons. They take the lead over the
Delaware and North Dakota, 10000
tons each. which heretofore were the
prize ships in the American navy. Be-
sides leading the ships Of all the great
powers in size. they also bring Ger
many and the United States nearer
together in the race for second place
among naval powers.
Among the experts the original
Dreadnought has become the accepted
unit of sea fighting efficiency. Count
ing it as a unit of 100, the American
battleship Delaware and her sister
ship, North Dakota, have an efficiency
ratio of 40 each, while the Florida and
Utah have a ratio of 125 each. These
ratios for American Dreadnought ships
aggregate go as against an aggregate
of about 700 for Germany. So Ger
many and the United States are sep
arated by only a few points for posi-
ton of second when the Dreadnought
unit of fighting strength is the basis.
On ships below the Dreadnought unit
the scales are turned in favor of the
United States.
The super Dreadnought New York,
whose keel was laid recently, will out
'yeank In tonnage anything thus far
Quilt or under way in England and
Germany. Her tonnage will be $1,000
The largest British ships under con-
struction are those of the King George
class, $4,000 tons, and the largest or
the new German ships building are OF
$4,000 tons. The British designers
however, are planning the Queen Mary
$4,000 tons. The New York represents
the largest warships being built, while
the Utah and Florida are the largest
in the service of any of the great ma
tons.

when he was accosted by two men. Mr.

IDENTIFY Intentionally bumped against
him, and Immediately another man
stepped from the shadow of the trees.
Neither said a word, but no doubt it
was their intention to relieve Mr..
Drummer of any Valuables which he
might have had on his person. He,
turned, striking one OF his assailants
singing blow on the head. This
seemed to brighten the robbers, for
they turned and ran across the street
and up the alley between the Peter
Miller and j. H. Tamm residences.
1t was very dark where Mr.. Brun-
nier was held up and his description
of the men is very meager, but he
tells us that he is certain he has seen
one of the men before and that he is
a resident of this city. He describes
him as being about thirty-eight or for
ty years of age, quite tall and heavy
set. The city officers are working on
the case, and it IS thought they will
have the guilty parties in few days.
