Professor A. +. Stone, former Cabot

year. The commencement exercises were
held Thursday evening, June ii, at the

added much to the impressiveness of
the OCCASION The class, numbering IA,
was the largest ever graduated and the
year lust closed has been in every way
the best in the history OF the school,
both in regard to quality and quantity

eision.

need NOT HURRY
People Can Buy War Stamps
at Their Leisure.
Those With Good Intentions
Will Not Be Prosecuted.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Internal reve-
nue. collectors throughout the country
had notice today from the internal
revenue bureau here that the govern
ment does not intend to prosecute any
one subject to the war revenue law
who shows a willingness and readiness
to buy the new tax stamps. The
notice was sent to allay fears on the
part of thousands Of persons all over
the country who yesterday besieged
the internal revenue offices in at
tempts to obtain revenue stamps to
comply with the law and who because
Of their inability to do SO, became
frightened over what might happen
in the event they were not on the
minute with their stamping.
There was no need for such fears
and this was made clear in a tele-
gram which Commissioner Osborn of
the internal revenue bureau sent to all
collectors. The telegram was in re-
sponse to frantic calls from collectors
who told Of crowds rushing their Of
fices, demanding stamps and it was
hoped by officials today that the
notice would relieve situation which
gave Indications Of causing embar-
rassment to thousands of persons and
which also might have resulted in
considerable confusion to railroads
and shippers. :.

FIGHT WITH FISTS
Russians and Germans Mix in
Hand to Hand Combat.
Not q German Left Alive When
1t Is Over.

Petrograd, Dec. 2.-The bloodjest
day Of fighting in Poland to date is
said to have been last Friday.
Throughout that date the Siberian
corps stormed German trenches in the
.LOdz region. The Russians charged
and carried the fighting directly to
the German line. The enemy offered
terrific resistance. Ammunition was
cast aside and the two forces fought
bayOnet to bayonet, or dubbed each
other with the butts of their rifles.
Many resorted to bare fists before CIV
ing up. Not a single German was left
alive when the Russians finally came
into undisputed possession of the
works. The Russian troops were
soaked with blood which froze on
their uniforms.
By holding Plock the Russians con-
troll the Vistula which has been serv-
ing as an important line of communi-
cation for the Germans. it is declared
here. Several barges loaded with sup
plies and ammunition have already
been captured. The Russian troops
are declared to be withstanding the
hardships of the winter campaigning
better than the Germans. All prison
ers captured declared they have en-
dured terrible suffering. Many have
frosted or frozen feet and hands. Sup
ply trains have been wrecked and
there is a shortage of warm clothing
for the army.

HASTE IS SLOGAN
Kansas Must Hurry Her Flour
to Belgium Soon.
Suffering in Ruined Country Is
Increasing Daily.

The work of procuring funds and get
ting wheat ready for shipment with
view to relieving the starving millions
in Belgium is being rushed in many
sections of the state. and every day
shipping instructions are sent out from
the central office, Topeka.
There are some communities that are
Logging behind in the work. and the
central committee is urging more dis
patch in order that there may be no
delay In shipping the first cargo of
wheat on or near December 10.
While the newspapers of the state
generally have been liberal in their
space, it is reported that certain
small percentage of the weekly news
paper editors have not even read the
press notices that have been sent from
the central office, and consequently the
people of their respective communities
know little or nothing concerning the
Belgian relief movement.
But Kansas as a state has responded
promptly and literally to the call from
war trodden little Belgian. Accordins
to those in charge the work must not
stop with the first big effort. 1t should
be remembered that Kansas has prom
ised q second cargo of foodstuffs by the
end Of this month.

Little activity along the Austrian
front is reported. An exception is the
assertion from Vienna of an Austrian
victory with the capture of quantities
OF prisoners and munitions of war along
the southern line but there is nothing
to indicate that Russia has given way
in her evident intention of invading the
rich German provinces by way of Cra-
