TOPEKANS HEARD FROM
Mrs. Josephine Thomas and Niece
Mentioned i'm Hague Dispatches.

The Hague, Aug. 23.-Via London,
sos p. ma train from Lucerne,
Switzerland, arrived here this after
noon with 800 American refugees.
They report that a considerable fund
has been collected to aid distressed
Americans in Switzerland, among
whom are a great number of school
teachers and none is in distress.
Among the Americans in Holland
are President Harry Garfield Of Will
liams college, Williamstown. Mass,
and his family; Prof. Schneider of the
University of Pennsylvania, Judge
Irving Lehman of st. Louis: Captain
Max Mannheim of Kansas City: Thos.
Aknight of Dallas, Tex. Mr.. and Mrs.
]. E. Austin of Bryan, Tex, Mrs. jose
phine Thomas and niece of Topeka,
Kan. Many American refugees ar
rived in Holland in a nervous state due
to experiences in Germany. Neil Sat-
terlee and his wife Of Chicago, were
looking out of their hotel window in
Munich, when two men, presumably
Russians threw bomb under an army
wagon.
A mob gathered and quickly batter
ed the offenders out of all semblance
to human beings. Clement Petit OF
Milwaukee, went to a garage in Berlin
to get his automobile. He found the
attendants cleaning up the floor where
a Russian pursued by a mob from
the street had been kicked to death.

Supplies and Chemicals Ad-
vance In Prices Now.

Manhattan, KAN, Aug. 24.-The
European war will make consideraD Die
difference in the expense OF the eouca-
tional institutions Of this country. ac-
cording to ]. T. Willard, acting presi-
dent of the Kansas State Agricultural
college. Scientific instruments, chemi-
Gals and supplies OF Hike character are
imported duty FREQ by the colleges ana
universities of this country. Since ali
import orders have been cancelled ana
prices Of American goods raised the
cost of such supplies will be much
higher than Last year.
Chemical houses of this country
have cancelled all former cataioe
prices, says Doctor Willard. He mas
Gals, but expects at least 40 or 30 per
cent advance in price.
Take for instance the glassware
used in all chemical laboratories. Last
year glass tunnels three inches IN
diameter could be obtained for IS
cents a dozen. This year they will
cost So a dozen. Glass tubing cost
costs 81 a pound. Thermometers Last
Iyear were purchased for $2.86 a
dozen. This year they will cost $1b a
dozen.
All the scientific schools of this
country will be working under a hand
leap this year. Doctor Willard points
out. Improvements that they had
planned to make. new and better
equipment that they had expected to
install will be an impossibility. Stu
dents should not be alarmed because
of these high prices, for their pock-
etbooks will be affected but little. The
inconvenience will come in having to
get along with less equipment in lab
oratories.
The professors in the veterinary de-
partment at the agricultural college
had some import orders cancelled. AS
they did not need the supplies imme-
diately, they are holding their orders
and hoping for peace.

vine producing district, Alsace- -Lor-
raine has suffered heavily by the
war, ana it is claimed that the out
PUT this year will be far below nor
maj Alsace especially has a poor
crop, according to reports. Not
alone had the bad seasons Of the
last ten years caused a reduction Of
the area Of vineyards to 10S,000 hec-
tares, a decrease Of 109 hectares Tor
about 800 acres since 1908, but the
earlier months OF the year were very
unfayorable for the development OF
the plant. The vines were affected
by Dhyleyera which incessant cold
rains made worse. and then, when
hot weather finally came, the war
broke out. In southern Alsace, whore
the valleys and hillsides Of the Vos-
ges are almost entirely given to wine
growing, MANY vineyards We're cut
down in order to facilitate military
operations, while others were tram
pied down during battles.
The result of this has been that
the wine crop Of Alsace will be APP
prox,mately one-third normal Con-
ditions in Lorraine are better
Though some of the vineyards around
Netz were cut down when the war
began. the crop generally is plentiful
enough to discount this. The quail
ty moreover, is said to equal that Of
1901 Good weather early in the sea
son favored a good average crop, and
unlike those Of Alsace and eastern
France the wine growers of Lorraine
were able to give their vineyards all
needed care.
