sent to the penitentiary for two years
for repeating" in the recent fran
chise election in Kansas City where
in the street railway companies got
an extra 19 years to it's franchise.
Within a week the paper value of
the stocks of the company increased
five millions in value.
This unthinkable sum will hardly
prove Of solace to that tempted crea-
ture who confessed that for a paltry
81 he helped to give away the streets
of the people of the Missouri metrop-
oils.
He may think of it, perhaps-but
he may be sure that those sleek, fat
tened masters of finance, whose tool
he was, will ever think of him as he
tolls away his life in the jute mills.
So absurd and antiquated are our
methods of dealing with real crime
that the courts never look beyond the
bundle of rags which was caught red
handed in his illicit quest for food.
1t did not ask who hired him. It
did not trace the trail that might
have led to the mahogany offices
wherein the crime was planned.
The police took the 81 from the re-
peater. 1t did not take the millions
away from the big hooters.
It is still a matter of shame that
our civilization has not yet put money
and jail into the same dictionary
when referring to the theft of public
franchises.
If there is any satisfaction to be
had from looking at the pitiful spec
tacle of hungry tramp behind bars
the people of Kansas City may have
it-While reaching into their pockets
for more nickels to pay interest on
stolen millions.

GalieIa-Many Prisoners Taken.

Petrogad. - Official announcement
has been given out by the general
staff of the commander-in-chief Of the
Russian forces, as follows:
There has been no further change
in the general situation. Russian
troops are in contact with the enemy
at various points, and there has been
fighting on the River Zoura, at Stry,
in Galicia, and in East Prussia.
London.-Germans and Russian re-
ports agree that the situation in the
east has not changed, although the
armies are In close touch along the
East Prussian frontier and across Po-
land and Galicia. In Galciia, however,
the Austrians claim to have repulsed
Russian attacks and to be making
progress in their campaign to drive
out the invaders.
The Russians, on the other hand,
say they are making large numbers of
prisoners. Heavy fighting is going on
around Prezemysl and the cupolas of
the forts surrounding the town, says
an Italian correspondent. The town
itself, however, has not been damaged.

New York.-Incessant fighting has
been in progress from the North Sea
as far south as Labassee, a distance of
about 30 miles, but this line is divided
into several fronts, on which separate
engagements are being fought. It is
this line the Germans are endeavoring
to break in their attempt to reach
Dunkirk and other French seaports.
Three British monitors--the Severn,
Humber and Mersey-are Smelling the
Germans in the vicinity of Ostend,
where 1t is said terrible execution has
been done. Machine gun detachments
also have been landed from these ves-
sells and are assisting in the defense
of Newport.
The British admiralty, which for a
day or two withheld the news that the
British fleet was participating in coast
operations, now compliments the mon
itors and the bluejackets for excellent
service.
There has been particularly hard
nghting In all the Lille region, where
the British r in action. The impor.
tant French town of Lille still is held
by the Germans, and encounters in
this neighborhood have been of a hand
to-hand character, evidently with little
advantage to either side.
At last real action has been taken
for the relief Of the Belgians, upon
which has fallen the great burden of
suffering from the war;. An American
commission, headed by Herbert G..
Hoover of California and composed of
Americans, resident in London and

ment reached between Belgium, Great
Britain and Germany, will take under
Its charge the care of hundreds OF

starvation in their own country.
