WHITE LINE Is OPENED.



Lawrence, July 16-The new auto
line across Kansas called the Kansas
White Way will be formally opened
with sociability run to begin on Au-
gust 10 at Kansas City and end at
Denver. Lawrence IL on this route and
the run will pass through here. The
White Way follows the Red Line from
Kansas City to Topeka and will follow
the south side Of the river.
]. r. Holmes, who is one Of the di-
rectcrs of the White Way says that
the Lawrence motorists will cooperate
and try to have the roads on both
sides of Lawrence in good shape for
the run next month. 1t is likely that
number Of local autoists will join
the party and make the run to Topeka
or farther.
The run will be modelled after the
Glidden touring idea with notifications
as are required and considered neces-
sary. 1t will be a non-contesting so
liability feature. There will be many
interesting things in the way Of enter
tainments planned along the route.
It is expected that the run will ap-
peal to motorists who live along the
line Of the White Way. Parties who
are going to Colorado this year can
arrange to go at this time.
Advertising and the time schedule
will be mailed in a few days giving
8 time card OF points along the line.
A committee is making arrangements
for speakers at a number Of towns
enroute.

PROFESSOR Is FINED.
Cruelty to Animals Is Charge Against
Greek Teacher.

Lawrence. KAN, July 15.-Professor
George Heffelbower, author Of a
Greek lexicon. got off easy in police
court when he plead guilty to a charge
Of cruelty to animals. Judge Albach
assessed fine Of IS and costs, which
was paid. Members Of the Humane
society wore present In the court room
and expressed dissatisfaction with the
smallness Of the fine, which they had
hoped would be close to the limit Of
800.
Heffelbower's offense was driving a
horse which was unfit to travel. He
was using the horse to draw a cart
which he had fitted up with chicken
racks and was doing q peddling busi-
ness over the country. His acquaint-
ances said they did not believe Heffel-
bower was purposely cruel to the
horse, but had failed to realize that
the animal was so near its end that to
hitch It up to drive constituted q case
Of cruelty.
Heffelbower was former q teacher
IN Ottawa university and is said to
have q fine classical education. Find
ing no demand in his profession. as q
teacher, he has been supporting his
family by running business as q ped
0ler in the country.

Ell Dorado, July 15.-After q spirited
session following Sunday morning serv-
ices in the Baptist church 1t was de-
cided by vote Of % to 10 not to call
the Rev. +. Elmer Jones, of Wellington,
to the pastorate here. Many members
did not vote for fear Of causing fac
tional feeling over the selection Of Z

When the Rev. Mr.. Jones was here
the pulpit committee agreed to let him
know what decision was made within
two weeks. A majority of the COM
mittee, 1t is said, favored issuing the
call. Although it was announced last
week in the church and through the
papers that the matter would be pre-
scented to the congregation Sunday the
Rev. w. E. Bates, pastoral supply,

Gen. Gallieni is eminently qualified

and military capacity.
Probably the proudest possession OF
the sons of the German emporer are
the swords presented to them by their
father. and with which they are
equipped in the present war against
Germany's enemies. The kaiser, rep
resenting in his various military uni
forms all the different kinds Of serv-
ice OF army and navy, has many
swords; but his sons have only one
sword each, and these are particularly
priced because of the inscriptions die
tated by the kaiser. The custom of
inscribing arms is an old one among
the Germans.
To the eldest son, the Crown Prince
Frederick Wilhelm, the kaiser pre-
sented sword before he was able to
carry it. This sword is now worn by
the crown prince as leader of the
southern army invading France. II

LET THE END OF THE WAR
BE A REAL END.

There is perhaps no one who does
not regret the terrible war in Europe
and who was not shocked when it
broke loose, and yet terrible asst Is it
is 90 be hoped that it will bee run 70
a definite finish now that it is under
way.
The worst possible outcome would
be- something approaching drawn
battle "a settlement OF the war that
would not be a settlement at all but
more in the nature Of an armistice,
that would leave the nations still men
a-ir- each other; preparing for future
trouble and only awaiting an oppor-
tuuity for a continuance Of the war
under conditions more favorable to
themselves.
Europe is now in the midst Of the
war tha, has been menacing her for

pairing and now that IL has started

as far as possible for the future

future than 20 leave the way open for
another and equally disastrous war.
The effect of an indecisive war now
would probably be 10 leave each ma
uon more jealous and fearful Of its
ne.ghbors than ever
The year 1914 has demonstrated that
Fthe civilized world has not yet pro-
/ gressed 10 a point where it can settle
/ its international quarrels by reason, or
/ by AN appeal 90 the tribunals Of peace.
The European nation that had gone
an uuprcparcd for the primitive, brut-
|al. savage policy Of settling its quar-
rcls by brute strength, that had made
mo- preparations for blowing its ene-
mics to pieces, would be in a sorry
plight indeed now, and perhaps more
I than ever the nations will hesitate
after the present war about trusting
their safety 20 the agencies of peace
alone.
Certainly II the war could be term

European people as II IS, we should
naturally look for stupendous activity
