ceived at the state department from

resentatives in the conference are still

q section Of the Dutch element in
South Africa which broke today with
a suddenness OF a bolt from the blue
sky, is the first note that has marred
the harmony in the British empire
since the. outbreak OF the war, and it
has momentarily diverted attention
from the arena near the heart Of the
empire.
That this rising was real and dam
gerOus was sufficiently proved in Of
fetal dispatches from Governor Cen
eral Buxton to the imperial govern
ment and by the drastic step Of Gen
eral Louis Botha and his colleagues
in imposing martial law in the whole
union of South Africa.
The proclamation Of martial law, d.
rectly charges to a widespread secret
propaganda Of the Germans respon-
sibility for the seduction of Maritx'e
command. This force was one OF four
armies sent into the field when the
union government undertook to deal
with the German colonists in Africa
1t apparently is the belief OF General
Botha's government that others be-
sides those under the immediate COM
mand of Colonel Maritz may have
been affected, hence the inclusion OF
the whole dominion in the order es-
tablishing martial law.
Germanizfng factors are said by
British authorities to have been ii
work for years in the frontier dis
tricts and to have>percolated even into
southwestern Transvaal and other
Dutch districts.

SIEGE OF NACO GOES ON
Mexican Bullets Continue to Fall on
the American Side.

Washington. Oct. 13.-Colonel Hat
field. commanding the American troops
on the Arizona border, reported to the
war department early today, that the
situation at the besieged Mexican town
of Naco was unchanged. Desultory fir
ing continued through the night. The
dispatch said: 1T is impossible to pre-
vent bullets from falling on the Amer
lean side as long as firing is continued.
A shrapnel shell yesterday passed
through the rear of an unoccupied
house near the border. It was an ac-
cident and the fire was corrected inn
mediately upon demand. In addition to
the two men wounded sometime ago,
a corporal has been shot in the thumb.

New York. Oct. 13.-An elderly wo-
man suffering from loss Of memory
was Identified last night by physi-
clans In Flower hospital by using chill
dren's blocks with numerals and the

been issued to anyone. Despite this
fact little respect for the ordinance is
being shown. Cards, most of them, po-
litical advertisements, are in evidence
on practically every street in the city.
And, so far as can be ascertained, the
police are doing little or nothing to en-
force the ordinance. On many of the
streets where as many as a dozen cards
decorate one pole the policeman on the
beat has not even taken the trouble to
tear down cards.
instructions have been issued to the
force to Investigate" the practice.
Josiah Ross, chief Of police, said this
morning that no orders had been CIV
en- him other than to destroy the cards
and find out whether or not the diff
ferent companies owning poles in the
city had given permission to any one
to tack up the cards.
Member of Police Force Has Cards.
One pole between Sixth and Seventh
streets on Quincy Is decorated with
four political cards. One of the cards
bears the advertisement OF AlOnzo
Sauls, candidate for sheriff. Sauls is
now a member of the police force.
The other three cards bear the ad-
vertisements of the following: Frank
e. Smith, candidate for superintend-
ent of insurance.; E. M Rodgers, can
didate for superintendent Of schools,
and B. g. (Ben) Walker, candidate
for register Of deeds.
Four poles located at the corner
of Eighth and Quincy streets were
decorated today with cards advertis-
| ing the following political candidates:
e. M. Rodgers, B. G. Walker, C. w
Milton anS Hugh Mcfarland.
The aforementioned candidates are
! not the only ones whose cards are be-
ing placed on poles. In the suburbs
| east and west of the avenue, a num-
Der of poles contain as many as 8
eyesore on Topeka streets.
! The city commissioners stated today
that they were in favor Of the strict
enforcement Of the ordinance.
THE clause making it lawful for the
cards to be posted with the permission
| of the pole owners should be stricken
from the ordinance" said w. G. Tandy
commissioner of streets.
1.-THE Bell telephone company has not
given permission to anyone to stick VI
cards on its poles" said A. j. Mackey
manager Of the local telephone com.
pany this morning.
"Only a few poles in the city arr
owned by the Western Union company
but no permits to tack cards have beer
I mo-" was the answer Of Mayor R. L
Cofran when asked If the city hat
issued any permits.
Officials Of the Topeka railway com
pany say they have given no such per
mits.
Although dozens have violated TIN

been made. In a few cases the polio,

Thousands of Buildings Destroyed BY
Earthquake in Turkey.

Washington, Oct. t3.-More than 5000
lives were lost in the earthquake in the
province of Konia, Turkey, October 5.
according to cablegram today from
Amba ssador Morgenthau to the state
DEPARTMENT. Thousands OF buildings
were destroyed rendering countless
numbers Of people homeless.

cialIy requested by the minister of the

The Russians are described az keen

Berlin declares that all of the west
ern part of Russian-P Poland is now In
the possession of Germany and every
place west Of the Vtstula with the ex-
ception Of Warsaw is in, their hands.
1t would appear that no heavy engage
ments yet have been fought in this
region, most Of the fighting being be-
tween screens Of cavalry.
May Open Way to Silesia.
Should the Austro-German forces suf-
fer defeat along the battle front now
forming the way would be opened, it In
being argued in London, for the in
vasion of Silesia, which next to the
Rhine provinces, is the richest district
Of Germany. But 1t is not anticipated
even in the event Of their victory that
the Russians will advance with any
great speed.
The topography Of the country and
the lack of transports precludes the
possibility of anything like the German
sweep through Belgium. Russia has
suffered her most severe marine loss Of
the war in the sinking Of the cruiser
Pallada, which has been torpedoed by q
German submarine in the Baltic. In
every theater Of the war Germany evil
IDENTIFY IL resuming the offensive with
unparalleled vigor. and British naval
observers are inclined to expect some
cooperative display Of activity by the
German fleet.
Along the battle line of the Aisne the
very brief official communication given
out in Paris declares what little change
there has been in the situation favors
the allies. The chief alteration in this
line, however, seems to be its DISPOSE
ton to stretch toward the shores Of
the channel. A most interesting bit of
news from the western front Is found in
the reports from various sources that
several Of the forts around Antwerp are
still occupied by the defenders. If this
is true, it is argued here that possibly
the expected reinforcements for the
German right wing may not be sent
forward in time.
Reports also Continue to reach Lon
don that the great activity of the Ger
man cavalry near Lille IL a screening
movement to cover. the retreat Of the
army of General Won Kluck Such a
retreat is said even to be under way to
the north and to the northeast.

Portuguese East Africa borders the
British possessions and a Portuguese

vice. If the disaffected Beers are able
to create serious trouble, 1t will be ac-

the situation has not reached this stage
yet.
The premier Of the United South Afri-
