GERMAN PRESS IS
 MUCH SURPRISED At Rapid Growth of Arbi-
 tration Idea UNREST IN AUSTRIA Irregularities Said to Have Come to Light in Connection With the Cash Department of the Vatican

Berlin, April 15.--(special.)- 1.-The Ger man press as a whole Is greatly sur prised at tho wonderfully rapid growth of the idea of international arbitration which was generally ridicued few short years ago, when practically all agreed that arbitration was for the small states only and that the great powers of the world would never thinll of settling their serious ouarrels in any ! other way than by force Of arms.
 Even our most militaristic papers now admit that at a time when America, England and France have started dip- lomatic negotiations about arbitration treaties, this may mean the beginning armies and navies as the final argu- ments of nations.
 The editor of one of the leading Der lin dailies said to me the other day;
 When England and France, a little less than eight years ago, signed the first arbitration treaty, we saw in this an event of some importance, but did not think it possible that the jurisdic- tion of arbitration could be extended any IuIiucT ludil III tiiS tiCdls, left all questions of national honor, vital interest or independence to be settled in the old fashioned way by the sword. That three great powers only a few years later should be willing to make no exceptions and Submit all interna- tional quarrels to a court of arbitration, would have appeared to us all far too a fDO1Qlf moments serious consideration. When the news came that President Taft had suggested that even questions of na- tional honor and vital interest ought to be subject to arbitration, and that Eng lands minister of foreign affairs, Sir Edward Grey, and the French ambassa . dor to Washington had endorsed this suggestion. I did not believe the reports to be correct. But the important work which the governments in Washington, London and Paris have begun must, as Sir Edward Grey says, necessarily be supported and carried forward on the wings of a strong public opinion in favor of peace in every country in the world and personally I think it will be long time before public in Germany endorses any universal arbitration idea Years are likely to pass before we shall feel convinced that we shall be justified In abolishing the army which has made Germany strong and powerful
 This Is the opinion of an editor whose whole heart is with the army and who has served in three wars, in 1884, 1866 and 1S70-71, and one understands his position but he is wrong In his opinion of the German people, the great major ty of whom will hail with joy the di5- appearance of the naval and military Moloch, to whom we are sacrificing the best years of our young mems lives and millions of our hard earned money

Swamping the KaWs under an ava
lanche of runs Sioux City won Satur-
day by a score of II to O. At no time
did the .Kaws look dangerous. The
score was compiled two runs at a
time until the fifth when four were
pushed across. Buchanan's offerings
were the most acceptable seen at the
ball park this year.
1t started in the first when Reilly
and Breen hit behind Andreas who
was hit by Buchanan. With a brace
of sacrifices this gave two runs.
The second was much of the same
and so were succeeding innings. In
only three innings were the visitors
unable to score. In the fifth they
batted around.
Reilly hit a home run over the fence
in the ninth inning with one man on,
keeping up the carnage clear TO the
end. The locals could get only hits.

Marysville, Kan, Oct 2.-Neai
Mulcahy and Daniel Carney, convicted
Of three bank burglaries at the May
term of court, sawed through the bars
Of their cell in the county Jail Sunday
and made their escape. These men
were in the county jail awaiting an or
der from the court to be taken to the
penitentiary to serve their sentences
for burglary Of the two Waterville
banks and the Beattie State bank last
spring.
Mulcahy and Carney were confined
in the upstairs cell of the Jail. Five
other prisoners, including Henry Hoerr,
convicted of the burglary of the Beat
tie bank, and Alex Meunard, who Is
awaiting trial on the same charge,
were lodged in the down stairs cells.
Sheriff Sullivan made a tour of the jail
at o'clock and all the prisoners were
in their hunks Shortly after Deputy
Munson, who had been guarding the
jail at nights, made a like inspection.
The escape took place between then
and morning.
These two prisoners knew we'll the
second floor of the jail. With saws
they cut out two of the bottom rods of
the cell. They used soap, butter or
grease to assist in the cutting and help
lessen the sound. Wriggling through
this small aperture they went down the
corridor to the southeast window Of
the building, where they cut the wires,
holding the heavy screen to the bars
and then let the screen down by means
of a quarter inch rope They then cut
out the upper portion of two bars and
by means of a blanket taken from
their bed let themselves down to the
ground and escaped through the alleys.
The Jail breaking was discovered at
O'Clock when Sheriff Sullivan went
to take the prisoners their breakfas'.
The Beattie bloodhounds were tele-
phoned for, but could not be secured,
as they had been taken to Alexandria.
Neb., and put on the trail of persons
who had broken into a hardware store
there.
The prisoners who escaped are de-
scribed py the officers as follows:
MuIcahy, five feet eleven inches, viii
weigh 154 pounds, long face, long nose,
light sandy hair, bluish-gray eyes, long
tapering hands with the little finger on
the left hand cut off below the second
joint, big mustaches forty years old.
Carney, five feet eight inches tall,
weight 145 pounds, dark complexion
dark eyes. forty years old, has very
noticeable limp in the right leg.

LUCK AGAINST THEM.
Aggies Tie With Southwestern in First
Game.


Manhattan, Kan, Oct 1.-THE Kan
sas Ageies and Southwestern broke
even Saturday with the first game OF
the season for the Aggies 6 to 8. The
field was very muddy and both teams
were handicapped to a great extent,
but both did as well as they could I'M
der the circumstances. The Aggies
won the first kickoff and made their
first and only touchdown within SIX
minutes of play, kicking goal, scoring
6. They found the Ministers line easy
In the second quarter the Aggies
used fake plays for good gains, put
failed to score. In this quarter
Southwestern began to show up better
quarter when they got the ball ana
made a sensational run across the
field, making their first and only
touchdown, kicking goal, which t1eo
the score.
The Aggies' playing in this third
quarter far excelled the Ministers and
luck in getting hold of the ball ana
getting q big start down the field was
responsible for Southwesterns only
score. The Ministers found the Aggie
lines and formations hard to break up
The fourth quarter ended without any
thing Of particular note with the ball
in the Aggie territory.
That the new coach, Lowman, is
getting in his work there was much
evidence and If there had been a good
field the evidence would have been
greater and more comprehensive. The
Aggie eleven proves to be up and do
ing and show evidence of much pep"
which seems to be Coach Lowman's
pet word on the gridiron. With sat
urday's selection the Aggie team will
prove to be as good as ever, notwith-
standing that most of the material is
practically new and hard work has
been needed in getting the team in as
good shape as it is now.
