should withdraw from the city for
stragetic reasons it's capture by the
Germans should not be considered as
important.
Emperor Nicholas is again at the
front. having gone on this occasion to
TranScaucasia where his troops are
seeking to thrust back the Turks and
accomplish Russia's historic aim of
planting her flag on the BosphOrus.
A Turkish report states that an at
tempt Of Russians to land troops on the
shore Of the Black sea near Batum was
repulsed with heavy loss to the in
vaders.
Germany is proud of her venturous
men-o-war in the hour Of their de-
struction. The admiralty, at Berlin,
points out that the warships defeated
by the British in the South Atlantic
had been for four months on the high
seas deprived of the use OF ports for
obtaining supplies or repairs. notwith-
standing which they were always able
to obtain coal. The cruiser Dresden
last survivor Of the five warships which
composed the squadron is reported to
have been bottled up in the Straits of
Magellan and her fate is still in doubt
Emperor William, announcement of
whose illness has been followed by var
ious unauthenticated reports that his
condition was serious, is said to have
improved considerably.
Little is known concerning the pres
ent conflict in France and Belgium ex-
cept that the fighting is more spirited
and that the allies are making broad
though indefinite claims to success.
The reported turn in the fortunes Of
war in Servia, where only recently the
Austrians were described as pushing
the defending army to such lengths as
to threaten its destruction. is said in
Nish to be decisive. The claim is made
that the Austrians are retreating in
disorder. all along the line and that
more than 1900 prisoners have been
taken.

BLISS UNDER FIRE
American General Narrowly
Escapes Mexican Bullets.
One Plate Glass Window Per.
fOrated Twenty Times.

Naco, Ariz., Dec. 11.-Brigadier
General Tasker H. Bliss, of the United
States army. who arrived Thursday to
take charge of the situation here,
gained experience of ''stray" bullets
fired by the Mexican combatants
across the line, soon after alighting
from the train. Two bullets from the
Mexican trenches about NacO, Sonora.
struck perilously near the general.
who was inspecting a United States
army bomb proof at the time.
One bullet sang by the generals
automobile as it stopped near the i'm
migration station. After he alighted
and was talking with his aide and
other army officers about the incident,
another bullet sped close overhead.
Scores of bullets fired by the SOL
diers of Governor Maytorena and Cen
eral Hill, the rival Sonora leaders, fell
on American territory. At other times
bullets literally have hailed across the
boundary. The American town of
Naco is less than a quarter of a mile
wide and there is hardly house in
it that has not been hit at least once
by Mexican bullets. Fully half of the
dwellings have been vacated
plate glass windows of which had
been perforated twenty times. This
store is eighty feet from the boundary
line. Several of the forty nine per-
sons killed or wounded on this side
of the line received their injuries near
this place.

Ancient Kingdom of Nebuchad-
nexzar in British Hands.
Indian Troops Take Possession
of Turkish Territory.
AFTER TERRITORY FOR YEARS
Germany, Russia and England
All Wanted Historic Land.
Kaiser Constructing Railway
Through Asia Minor.
(Bv J. w. T. Mason.)

(By J. w. T. MaSOn.)
New York. Dec. 1.-Interest created
by the Falkland naval battle and the
German victories in Poland distracts
attention from British success in Asia
Minor which will have far-reaching
Significance after the war is over. Only
brief mention has been made of tho
capture of the Turkish town Of Turna
by Indian troops, under command OF
English officers. Yet, this unnoted sue
cess gives to Great Britain control OF
the Persian gulf, one of the few colonial
prizes not annexed by the European
powers.
Germany, Russia and England have
all been eager for years to obtain from
Turkey this choice territory, which was
the most flOurishing part of the ancient
Babylonial empire where Nebuchad-
nezzar reigned $500 years ago.
Antiquarian interests, however, have
not created international rivalries for
possession Of the Persian Cuffs north
ern literal. Trade interests and mil
itary strategic reasons give to Baby
lonia its importance and value.
The same cause that sent Columbus
across the Atlantic ocean has urged
England, Germany and Russia to ex-
tend their influences about the Per-
sian gulf The desire to shorten the
route to India and the east in general
expansion is the dominant cause, the
military advantages of India give ad-
ditional impetus to British efforts.
Germany is now constructing rail-
way through Asia Minor to the Per-
| sian gulf by means of which German
trade is expected to dominate eastern
commerce. Now, however. the ter
minal mileage Of the line at the Per-
sian gulf will have to pass through
British territory for England will
probably insist on retaining southern
BabylOnia If the allies are successful
at the end of the war. The most i'm
| portant part, therefore, in this new
trade route to the east now seems
| destined to become British.
To the present, the success of England's
Indian troops in Babyloniaris the mos
I important result Of Turkeys entrance into
/ the war. In fact. the future value Of ths
victory after the war ends, is second only
| to what would accrue from the capture OF
| Constantinople. The cheapness of tht
conquest is wholly out Of proportion to the
result.

ATTACK ON DOVER.
German Submarines Attempt to Enter
British HarbOr.

London, Dec. 11-Half a dozen
German submarines made an attempt
to enter the admiralty harbor. accord
ing to Dover dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company, and for
half an hour the batteries kept up a
furious fusillade, firing at least 200
shots. 1t is reported that two or three
of the submarines were sunk, but no
confirmation of this can be obtained.
The attempt was made under cover
of early morning darkness and during
a heavy rainstorm. The first alarm,
the dispatch says, was given by the
firing Of a naval gun and soon all the
batteries were in action
The admiralty, to whom this dis
patch was submitted. said that it had
not received confirmation Of the re-
ported attack.

SIGN OF HUMANITY
At Certain Times Men Agree
Not to Fire in Trenches.
Interesting Touch of War Life
From Battle Front.

On the battle front in France
Among all the terrible conditions
damp, cold, increasingly chill at night
and ceaseless fightingAthe men in
the trenches were in excellent spirits.
While the fighting has been desper-
ate at times, it has been carried on
with a certain chivalry between the
two sides lying SO close together for
weeks.
Like the boy in school who raises
his hand "to go out" the Germans and
French have agreed on similar
signal when a man wants to leave the
trench and he is not fired on
Recently a COW wandered between
the sputtering Inns of steel jacketed
bullets. A Bavarian seized his cook
ing pot, ran to the COW outside the
trench and hastily began milking it.
Heads appeared above the trenches
on the French side in amazement and
not a shot was fired.
North of the Argonne forest the
lines run through potato patches. The
Germans and French agreed that at
certain times certain number of
men should dig the potatoes for food
and firing ceased while they perpared
their mess
The men yell and jolly each other.
Then they settle down in the business
of wholesale murder.

KAISER IS BETTER
His Ailment Is Merely Catarrh
Of the Throat. :
Temperature Is Normal and
Fears Have Been Dispensed.
By Karl Won Wieeand)

Berlin, Dec. u.-Kaiser Wilhelm is
suffering from catarrh of the throat.
1 am able to make this statement upon
the authority of persons close to the
court who are in position to know the
nature of his majesty's illness and his
present condition. The kaiser's illness
is due entirely to exposure while visit
ing his armies in the field. He has re-
mained at the front almost constantly
since the war began and has visited
the battle field under all conditions,
whether good or bad.
Those close to the court today de-
clared that his repeated visits and con-
sequent exposure during fnclement
weather caused him to contract a cold,
resulting in the present catarrhal in
lection Of the throat.
An official statement as to the kais-
er's conditions issued today states that
his majesty is considerably improved.
This is confirmed by my informant.
The official announcement declares that
the catarrh has subsided. The kaiser's
temperature is normal and he is able to
receive reports from the chief Of the
general staff. Improvement in his
ma testy's condition set in last night
and continued today.

represents what can be accomplished
when public officials practice eff
cheney.
With only three weeks Of the pres
ent year remaining, it is possible to
figure fairly accurately on the amount
that will lie left in each fund at the
close of the year, and it can be stated
with certainty that not single de-
partment of the city will show a de-
ficit. Only one fund will fail to show
a neat balance. The dog fund is ex-
hausted, but there is no deficiency
there. With this exception every fund
shows a balance on the right side of
the ledger.
When miscalculations are made by
city commissioners in preparing a
budget, it is the general revenue fund
which suffers. 1t is the most difficult
both in estimating receipts and ex-
penditures. But the present city
commissioners proved themselves
good "guessers," when they prepared
back in July, 1913, when they esti-
mated that the receipts for the gen.
eral revenue fund from sources other
than taxation would be $4,000. AS a
matter of fact this source of revenue
will afford $4,000 before the year
closes.
The total receipts for the year for
the general revenue fund were from
taxation $2OS,064.74 and from other
sources $47,767.23. This amount has
been received, making total of $685.
832.O1 and nearly $4,000 has yet to be
collected this year.
Less From Taxation.
The city's showing of a surplus of
$4,000 is even more remarkable
when the fact is taken into consider
alton that $214,0O0 should have been
raised by taxation, computing on the
basis of the levy made and the as
sessed valuation of Topeka property
But only $2OS,00O was received from
taxation, so the city really succeeded
in holding expenditures down 1000
less than the budget allowance.
The total appropriations from the

new BOOKS READY
Thirty Thousand Agricultural
Texts for Kansas Children.
State Printery at Topeka Com
pleting Big Task.

Kansas school children will be able
to start the study Of agriculture from
the new Kansas text books when they
start to school after the holidays. The
state printing plant has finished the
printing of the text books on agricul-
ture and the bindery is at work on the
books. A. M. Thoroman, secretary of
the commission, has announced that
the books will be ready for distribution
during the holidays SO that the deal
ers should have them on hand and
ready for the children before the
school term begins January 4.
Thirty thousand copies of the agrt-
cultural text were printed for use this
winter and additional copies will be
printed next summer, for use next fall.
The text was prepared by instructors
at the agricultural college and is writ
ten to fit only Kansas conditions.
The commission will also have the
new classics ready for distribution dur
ing the holidays and ready for use dur
ing the last half of the school year.
There are two books. one for the chill
dren of the seventh grade and another
for use in the eighth grades of the pub
lie schools. The printing plant is turn
ing out 25,000 of each of these books
The books are carefully graded and
selected from the writings of American
authors, with as much material as pos
sible taken from Kansas authors
When the agriculture and classic
texts get to the children the rush work
of the text book plant will be practi-
cally completed. Most of the text books
used in the schools are used under con-
tract and these contracts will not ex-
pire for nearly two years. The con-
tract for the Kansas history. primer
agriculture and classics either had al
ready expired or never had been made
SO the schools were without these until
the state plant got them out.
The text book commission has al
ready started the work of gathering
material for use in the texts which the
state plant will begin printing next
year to take the place Of present books
