AMERICAN AMBULANCE
 CORPS VERY USEFUL,
Men From This Country Take Chances
 Caring for the Sick.

PARIS, Dec. 3O.-The American Ambulance Corps of Paris has done much daring work at the front but thus far there has not been single casualty among the staff, composed of doctors, bearers and automobile drivers. Near a village a man in the firing zone was killed by a shell while watching the American Ambulance men placing a wounded man in an automobile, yet no one else was hurt. A British Ambulance next to one of the American cars was struck by shell and blown into fragments, killing or wounding the entire crew, but none of the American party nearby was touched.
 Some doubt has arisen as to wheth- CT neutrals should expose themSelVeS to such danger, but the difficulty has been with the leaders of the American Ambulance to keep their associates out of the range of fire. The Ameri- can train is often cheered when it ap- pears close to the trenches. The men stay at the front week or ten days and are then relieved by others from Paris. A repair car accompanies the ambulance at the front and any ac- cident to a machine is thus almost inn mediately repaired. Enough duplicate parts are kept in stock in this repair car to construct a new machine out right.

BRITISH FEAR
 IS GROUNDLESS
EXAMINATION SHOWS GERMANS
NOT PREPARED TO BOM- BARD CITIES.

LONDON, Dec. 3O.-Major General Desmond O'Callaghan, of the Royal Artillery, has been Investigating a number of alarmist reports which have had wide circulation in England, to the effect that German ordnance agents have for years past been pre- pairing for the German invasion of England by secretly placing in factory foundations, tennis courts, and resi- dences, deep concrete foundations, suitable for use with the heaviest Ger man siege artillery. These concrete foundations, according to rumor, were always discovered in positions "com- manding' London, or Edinburgh, or Dublin. "All bosh," says General O. Callaghan, who is inclined to be tri- fie annoyed at having to waste his time on "such nonsense" His report to the public says in part:
 q have had the pleasure for the past few weeks of assisting Scotland Yard in the inspection of concrete platforms, and appraising their dan ger from a military point of view. Since the discovery of an alleged gun platform at Willesden, reports of simi- lar preparations for the bombardment of London have been received from all quarters. To sum up my investiga- tion there is no reason to suppose that the floors or roofs of any factor ies, or tennis courts, constitute in any way danger to the public.
 Lawn tennis grounds in all direct ions have been reported and their tremendous solidity vouched for by nervous communities but all turn out an examination to be of usual type, six inches and not six feet thick.
 "It would be waste of energy and ammunition for the enemy to bring over to England howitzers of the weight and unweildiness of his 42 centimeter howitzers, which are the only ones requiring a concrete plat form. Any of the smaller and more portable howitzers, which are fired off their wheels, would very much bet ter serve his purpose"

THE KAISER WILLIAM
 VISITS FAMOUS HOUSE
He and Chancellor Stand Where Bismarck and Napoleon III Stood.

SEDAN, Dec. 3O.-Emperor William and Chancellor von Bethmann Holl- veg, who were in the vicinity of Se- dan Oct. 10th, visited the house at Donchery, near Sedan, where Bis marck first met Napoleon III. Sept, 2nd, 1870. Both the Emperor and his chancellor left mementos of their wis it in the form of gold and their names. Having nothing else with which to write his, Emperor William borrowed a card from a person of his suite and wrote on the back of it "Wilhelm Il. .LR"
 "I knew perfectly who were the two men who came here in Sept, 1S7O," said Madame Fournaire-Liban, speak ing of the visit. "But this time l had no idea who was speaking to me. l chatted with them freely and one of them complained bitterly that the French send the Algerians, the Moroc- cans, the Senegalians and other saw ages against the Germans. Then the remark of one of the officers in the party revealed the identity of the speaker. It was Emperor Williamll' Another of the party was Prince Wal demar, son of Prince Henry. What seems to have made the most impress sion on the old lady was the stature of the chancellor, who she thus com pares to Bismarck. "He is tall, very tall, but he has not the wicked eyes of Bismarck"

ALGERIAN SOLDIERS
 LOOK PICTURESQUE

DUNKIRK, Dec. BOA troop of Counters, or Algerian native cavalry, created more interest here on their way to the front than any of the French African or British Indian troops, because their equipment is en- tirely Moorish excepting their rifles. High backed Moorish saddles, built with all the comfort of rocking chairs, are girthed upon wild looking Arab horses. The men wear blue robes, boots of red Morocco leather and a white bowl-like fez, about which IS wound a band of brown yarn. The color of the men is light, although well tanned by the sun, but their hair and eyes are jet black. One of the officers is a native who won mention in the despathches IS times and re- ceived the cross of the Legion of Hon or in the Algerian wars.

T0PEkA'S CHANCE
High School Football Team Is
Out for Honors.
Game With Lincoln Thanks
giving win Be Battle Royal.

It will be a battle royal when the
Topeka high school football team lines
up against the Lincoln high school
eleven at Nebraska university field
Thanksgiving day.
The Topeka team was badly whipped
last Saturday by Ottawa high school.
That made their second defeat, the first
being administered by Washburn fresh
men. Two victories have so far been
obtained. one from Manhattan and an
other from Junction City. There are
four more games to be played. Satur-
day afternoon, the lola high school
team comes 10 Topeka. They come
with a good reputation and will prob
ably put up a good showing.
The second game will be perhaps
spirit goes, of the season. A special
train will be engaged to take high
school football fans and fanettes to
Lawrence, Friday, November 6, for a
game against the Lawrence high school
team. Last year. in Topeka, the husky
Lawrence team ran away with the To-
peka eleven, eventually defeating Be-
atrice. Neb.. and winning the Missouri
Valley high school conference. Bitter
rivalry has always existed between the
two teams.
Emporia Plays Here.
The third game will be played at
Washburn field, against the Emporia
brought here of the Emporia team, but
in years past, the Lyon county gentle
men have brought q squad of husky
players to Topeka.
On Thanksgiving day, the team will
go to Lincoln. The Nebraska capital
city has a high school team that is
formidable this year. Lincoln has been
whipping strong teams right and left
this fall, every man on the team is said
to be a star, and a rather weighty one
also. -
If Topeka defeats Lawrence, Coach
Beneke's men will go to Lincoln with a
fighting chance to win the valley high
school title, as in 1912. The team at
Omaha. which was touted as the best
team in the valley, went down to de-
feat before the young Cornhuskers
few weeks ago.
The following is taken from the Ne
braska State Journal, published at
Lincoln: THE consensus of opinion is
that Lincoln has the strongest aggresa-
ton she has ever presented in recent
years. The fact that the major por
ton of the squad is green does not
deny the fact that it is a machine all
the way up" An Irishman named
Mulligan is coach for the Nebraska
team. Lincoln defeated Topeka last
year.
The most serious game in view for
Lincoln this season is against Beatrice.
Neb. This game will be played Mo-
vember Is at Beatrice. the day that To-
peka and EmpOria meet. If Lincoln
defeats Beatrice and Beneke's team de-
feats Lincoln. then for the second time
a Topeka team can wear proper laurels.

out on the road"
Call IL DONE" said the train
master. and he went to carry out
the order.
In ten minutes the three heavy
freight pullers Kissed. strained.
belched fire and the long train be-
gan to move out.
Ii was Lfdgerwood's challenge
to the outlaws and as IL the blasts
of the three tearing exhausts had
been the signal it was awaiting.
the strike storm broke with the
suddenness and fury of a tropical.
hurricane. From a hundred hid
ing places in the car strewn yard.
men came running. some TO
swarm thickly upon the moving
engines and cabooses, others
swinging by the Drawbacks to cut
the air brake hose.
Shots were fired; shriIl yellsH
arose. Into the midst of the
clamor the great siren whistle at
the shops doomed out the fire
alarm. and almost at the same
instant a red glow rose to beacon
the destruction already begun In
the shop yards. And while the
road of the siren was still Earring
upon the MINDLESS night air. the
electric light circuits were cut out
leaving the yards and the Crows
Nest in darkness.
In the Crows Nest the suddenl
coup of the strikers had the effect
which it's originator had doubtless
counted upon. IL was some min
utes after the lights were cut off.
and the eruption had swept past
the captured and disabled trainsl
to the shops, before Lidgerwoodl
could get his small garrison to-
gether and send II to reinforced
the shop guard, which was pre-
sumably fighting desperately for
the control of the power plant
and the fire pumps.
Only McCloskey's protest and
his own anxiety for the safety of
the Nadia's company, kept Lid
gerwood from leading the little
relief column of loyal trainmenl
and headquarters clerks in per-
son. The lust of battle was in
his blood, and for the time the
shrinking palsy of physical fear
held aloof.
