mittee met Chairman Flood said that
the House Democrats would not oppose
the Mexican resolution in the amended
form as adopted by the Senate foreign
relations committee.
Both the House and Senate went to
work on the resolution of approval of
the President 5 course.
A new resolution to accept the apollo
gies already offered by Huerta as suffi-
eient reparation for the Tampico Incl
dent was offered by Senator Works, Re
publican.
Senator Lodges Speech.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
opened the debate. He said that when
| the President raised an international
! controversy before Congress he took
the last step which precedes war. The
| President might have taken further
steps, but he now comes before this
! body which is. the last step.
Senator Lodge said he thought the
! President had done well, but he resent
ed the imputation that the Republicans
! had not the honor Of the flag at heart
! He said: 1--WE must also think of what
! ! ne UaR tDNtlS- DHt HHudftu ana HItN
citizens have perished ON Mexican soil,
and | cannot in demand of Teparation
of the insult pass these murders silently
! by without saying that here is 4 greater
| wrong, which cannot and will not be
repeated - He denounced Huerta in
unmeasured terms, and said that he
thought the President had proceeded on
grounds that he thinks sufficient, but in
| demanding atonement, he declared, he
condemned the treachery and bloodshed
| by which Huerta reached his present
business, "but the fact that | condemn
| his methods does not lead me to put
myself in a position which by distortion
Of tie act Which we take here, or The
words which we utter here, put me be-
hind villa.
He then denounced Villa as one who
began life as Il hired assassin, whose
| path had been marked with bloodshed,
| plunder and unnamable crimes which
| are a disgrace. He said il was for that
reason that the committee on foreign re
latons had presented the substitute TO
the preamble of the resolution, and that
not one sentence can be denied, as
each is Il melancholy truth.

GERMANS FIGHTING
FOR CHANNEL PORTS

London. Oct 27.-As claimed by
Berlin and acknowledged by Paris
the Germans undoubtedly have cross
ed the User river between Dixmude

this means a forward step in the 'on

OF the impending evacuation OF Os-

the German garrison In Antwerp.
This does not necessarily imply prepa.

that the Germans are throwing every

LONG BATTLE LINE
IN EASTERN FiELl

London, Oct. 27.-A dispatch TO
Reuters Telegram company from
Rotterdam gives the following official
statement issued In Vienna:
"A telegram from the northwestern
theater of war says Austrian and
strong German forces have taken a
position In a nearly uninterrupted
line from the northern spurs of the
Carpathian mountains, by way OF
Starry and Sambor, before the fortress
of Przemysl. to the Polish part of the
Vistula and to the district of Block,

troops from the Caucasus, Siberia
and Turkestan.
1.-The Austrian offensive across the
Carpathians attracted strong hostile
forces.
I'm the middle of Galicia, where
both armies occupy fortified positions,
the battle Is stagnant.
Northwest of PrZemysl and on the
lower San the Austrians have had
several successes.
"In Russian Poland strong forces
are facing one another. There has
been fighting north of the vistula
between Ivangorod and Warsaw"

LOSSES HEAVY IN
NORTH OF FRANCE

London, Oct. 27.-There is much
complaint over the meagerness of the
official news from the fighting along
the channel coast in France Officers
and men who are brought here are
sternly enjoined not to talk. The of
ficials at military headquarters here
add nothing to the official reports
But 1t is certain the losses are in
creasing every day and that in the
last ten days of fighting the allies
must have lost fully 10000 in killed
wounded and prisoners each day
Many of the crack Scotch and Irish
regiments, whose places along the
Somme have been taken by fresh
troops and who are now fighting far
in the north. have lost fully 40 pei
cent of their enlisted strength in the
last ten days of fighting.
While there is melancholy salts
faction in the certainty that the Ger
mans have suffered heavily also the
appreciation of the terrible toll the
war is taking has had a melancholy
effect upon everyone here.

Regular Election.
Washington, Oct. 27.-Ofiicial re-
ports received here indicate that the
Mexican national convention at Aguas
Calintes will shortly depose General
Carranza as first chief and substitute
a provisional president.
American Consul Siliman reported
he was reliably informed of General
Carranza's intention to retire under
conditions that no objections would
be interposed to his candidacy at a
regular election and that the tenure
of the provisional government should
be short.
Officials here believe that while
Carranza refused to take the initia-
tive in submitting his resignation he
would abide by the conventions de-
cision, should it vote to retire him
No Preparations to Fight
Evidence of that was contained in
official advices which reported Car
rama making no extraordinary mill

While no confirmation has been re.
ceived of reported disturbances in

ACTED IN GOOD FAITH
Superintendent Ross Says Hodges
Charges Are GrOundless.

w. D. Ross, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, says Governor Hodges
'descends to the level of common
mendacity" in his Hoxie speech in
which the state executive charged the
education superintendent with failure
to perform his duty in the enforce
ment of the state law for the inspec-
ton Of picture show films
Mr.. Ross points out that he person.
ally acted in good faith and was
actually engaged in the inspection Of
the films until the law was tied up.
Even SO. says the Ross statement, he
was endeavoring to carry out the en-
forcement Of the law without funds
and the affidavits from the treasurer
and auditor certify to this fact AS to
the history of the bill and it's failure
to provide money for it's own enforce

THE moving picture inspection bill

that a fee of 81 should be collected
for each film and that one-half of this
amount should go into the general

CONDITIONS ON THE FARM

DR.. Sippy, state epidemiologist. is
conducting a work by which the state
board Of health proposes to obtain a
report Of hygienic conditions on the
farms Of Kansas. Predictions that
he would meet opposition or apathy
on the part of the farmers proved
week ago, and he returned home to-
day with his plans made for getting
comprehensive report on health
and sanitation conditions on the
farms of Sumner county.
At the same time the health board
IL going to make survey OF the
mail order business in Kansas. TO
the business men of the state this will
be the most interesting phase OF the
Job. While the four college boys who
have been hired to do the work are
getting figures on the size of the fam
lilies, the character of the water and
milk supplies, the location of gar
bage piles and the arrangement of
the farm homes from a. sanitary
standpoint. they will submit a sep
arate list Of questions as to the hab-
its Of the farmers with reference to
doing their shopping.
Thus far. says DR.. Sippy. there has
been no evidence OF reluctance on the
part of the farmers about telling how
much they spend in year with the
mail order people. They don't seem
to feel the obloquy Of dealing with
the out of town advertiser that the
local editors point out is attached to
the practice.
Three boys from Washburn college
and one from the State university, all
students of public and sanitation sub
jects, have engaged to work on this
survey. They will devote themselves
to rural residents of Sumner county.
Their salaries will be paid by the
state. but on account of shortage Of
funds, their travelling expenses and
board while on the job will be furnished
by the people of the county. In several
localities the farmers have volunteered
to furnish automobiles and all the fried
chicken the students will require while
the work is in progress. In some town
ships the merchants have agreed to
furnish the eats.
Look Into Well Water.
The survey will include the taking of
samples of well water on which re-
ports will be furnished to the well own
