DIAMONDS CONE
Expert Thieves Make S5,s5S
Haul in Topeka.
Robbed Case of Santa Fe
Watch Co. in Day Time.

The biggest diamond robbery ever
committed in Topeka occurred late
Saturday afternoon when a black velvet
case containing 80 fiawless gems val
ued at $5.25S was distracted from the
show case of the Santa Fee Watch COM
pany. The case. according to the chief
Of police. is battling. Several clues are
being followed. None is considered sure.
The thief was an expert, who chose the
only tray in the shop containing abso-
lutely perfect stones.
Saturday was one of the biggest dfa-
mond days the watch company has
hNd. The theft was not discovered un
til nearly O'Clock, and is believed to
have been committed after 8.
Suspicion conferred on a couple, man
and woman, who entered the shop the
latter part of the afternoon, demanding
to see the most expensive diamonds.
This couple appeared in the store to-
day. admitted being diamond dealers
and protested their absolute inno-

entire shop were searched. 1t was half
an hour before AlOnzo s. Thomas, pro-
prietor. was ready to admit the stones
had been stolen. The police were no.

City were wired. The jewelers. ALI
ance was consulted. A $500 reward. OF

The theory this morning is that the
thief. instead of going behind the coun-
ter. reached across it. The feat could
easily have been performed by tall
man with a long arm. The store was
crowded on Saturday.
The utmost excitement prevails in the
shop today. The telephone is constant
ly juggling. Persons report having seen
hoboes hurrying down tracks. suspi-
cious looking strangers. alleged dia-
mond experts. and questionable charac-
tiers. None of the clues seem worth fol-
lowing.
AS soon as it became evident that a
big theft had been perpetrated an in
voice of all stock was taken. Weight
and description of each missing stone
was secured. New locks will be placed
on the case. The lost diamonds were
covered by insurance.

.SHRAPNEL IS
 MOST DEADLY
INVENTED BY ENGLlSHMAN AND IS NOW KILLING THE
 BRITISH.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Shrapnel, which has done far more damage to the allies than the German rifle fire, is a British invention over century old. It's inventor was General Shrapnel, an English officer who was born in l761 and given a commission in the royal artillery in 1779. The thought came to him during the war in Flanders, where he was impressed by the trif- ing effect of round shot against troops and the limited range of grape. His shell, filled with balls and powder and ignited by a time fuse, was adopted by the British army in 1902 and play ed an important part in the Peninsu- lar war under Wellington and also at Waterloo. The secret of its action was unknown outside of Britain until 1884.
 With the customary ingratitude of governments, General Shrapnel was never reimbursed for the expense of his experiments. All he received was 200 pounds year ($6,OOO) and the offer of baronetcy he could not af- ford to accept. He died in 1S42 a bit ter old man
 Dr. Louis Seaman, the American ex- pert who has visited the hospitals of the allies at the front, says that the German shells break into large pieces and do little damage compared with those used by the Japanese against Russia, which were torn into showers of steel splinters. But the shrapnel bullets make ragged wounds and also carry injecting material with them, causing large percentage of deaths from blood poisoning.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Mystery sur rounds the whereabouts of the Brit ish Canopus which was off the South American coast when the naval en- gagement took place in which the British squadron was defeated by the Germans. The Canopus had been on the way to reinforce the British fleet out did not arrive in time to take part in the battle. Since that time she has not been heard from and there is a growing anxiety as to what has oc- cured to her. It is believed to be quite possible that the Germans knew of her presence in those waters and that they pursued her before she could join any other war vessels. She is battleship of thirteen thousand tons displacement.

FRENCH GOVT.
 WILL RETURN
LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRA- TIVE STATES REACH PARIS
 TOMORROW.

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-The announcement was made this afternoon that the French government intends an early return to Paris. The legislative and administrative staffs of the chamber of deputies will return tomorrow pre- paratory to the shifting of the seat of government from Bordeaux to the real capital. This announcement is taken to mean that the government will not return on the twentieth as had been previously announced. The change of plans is probably due to the fact that the Germans are still maintaining their positions in France and Belgium and a sudden turn of events might possibly cause Paris to be threatened once more although this contingency is not by any means looked for. It is possible also that the president and the cabinet desire to await the outcome of the great con hict in Russian Poland.

BATTLE IN BLACK SEA
CaucaSla.

Petrograd, Nov 19-A naval encounter between the Turks and the Russians have occurred in the Black Sea but nothing definite has been learned as to the results e cent that the Turkish cruiser Goeben has been seriously injured The Goeben was formerly German vessel and it is now evident that when she fled from the coast of Italy to the Dardanees she did with the intention of enter ing the Black Sea be ready to take part in the war when
 rkev was ready to commence hostilities The Goeben is battleshp of nearly twenty three thousand tons dis placement and her loss would be most serious blow to Turkey and consequently to Germany, at the present time If any causates occurred to the Russian fleet they have not been reported The Bresau which escaped from the Mediterranean with the Goeben also probably in the battle She is vessel of nearly five thousand tons and has speed of twentysix knots.
