the Northern Kansas counties, cane
down town the day after the votes
were counted with a dark brown taste
in his mouth, says the Emporia Ca

one of those well-meaning idiots who
are. always so thick when one has q
dark brown taste. "Just like Laz-
arus," grunted the defeated one.
"How's that?" persisted his questioner.

Almost a Deadlock in
~ War of Nations.


in the East and West have undergone
few changes in the past day. French
and German reports agree that the
Germans have captured a section OF
trenches near Hollebeke, south OF
Ypres. The French assert that the
Germans gave up trenches on the first
line to the extent of about 800 or 9oO
yards in the Lens region, farther east
while unsuccessful demonstrations
have been made from both sides a'
various points along the extended
line.
The reports of the numbers OF
wounded both armies are senalpg
back from the lines in Belgium ap-
pear to show that the fighting on
Christmas in that section was the
fiercest of the past month. Core
spondents in the rear say the Bel
eians. as a result of five days sap
ling, captured nearly 5000 Germans,
wit honly small losses to themselves.
Conflicting Claims,
According to Russian reports, Ger
man attempts to capture Warsaw
have failed, while the Berlin official
statement says there is general con-
fidspce that the German and Austro-
Hungarian forces are making progress
along the great front.
French newspapers are enthusiastic
over the raid by British cruisers and
seaplanes on Cuxhaven. Thsy cen-
slider improbable the German state
ment that, although ships at Cux-
haven and the gas works were hit by
bombs mo damage was done:
The naval writer's speculate on the
mes. remarkable engagement Of 2oth
century warfare. They conclude that
the German ships feared to give battle
to the British cruisers because OF the
uncertainty as to whether British bat
tleships were lurking behind them
The fact that tho zeppelias were
driven off is taken by some as evi-
dence that the Zeppelins really are
untrustworthy craft. Others think 1t
means that the Germans are hus-
banding all their dirigibles for a
grand raid on England.
Why Not2
Some writer's argue that If Cux-
haven can thus be attacked, why not
tIeligolapd, Wilhelmsshasayeen as end even
tbe Kiel canal?
The only damage the British ex-
petition sustained was the loss OF sew
eral hydroplanes, while Commander
Hewlett was the only person wae lost
his life.
The British people are losing what
ever fear of the zeppelins they held
but the exploits Of the airmen on the
continent and the scouting trip of the
German flyer over Kent on Christmas
show there is a strong possibility that
the Taubes may repeat over London
ths visits with bombs WHICH they paid
Paris and Warsaw:
Fhe authorities Issued q. warning
tonight of the danger to people IN
the streets from guns which may be
Used in London against hostile air
craft and advised the people to take
refuge in Easements if they heard the
sound of explosives or guns.
A heavy windstorm with rain and
snow swept over parts of England and
adjacent waters tonight and there
probably is much suffering among the
sailors on duty on the smaller craft
off the coast:
