The Kaiser Said "SiCk en-" and the

The European war has now been in
progress three and one half months,
and with the exception Of the first
week after war was declared there has
not been a single day, not even ex-
cepting Sunday, when the slaughter
Of the innocents" has stopt, and on
some days the number ran into the
thousands. According to the admis-
sion of the belligerants the killed,
wounded and lost amount to over hall
million on each side. And all for
what. Simply to crafty the unholy
ambition Of some king or kaiser. The
people had no grievance to avenge,
no war debt to settle. More than hall
the seven million Belgians are on the
verge of starvation, will starve but for
the help extended by those more for

their needs. Many of their cities are
utterly destroyed, their fields ruined,
their homes gone and savings wiped
out. The Belgians were not even
parties to the quarrel OF the fighting
nations. Their little country hap
pened to lie between two warning ma
tons and offered the easiest and most
direct way to get at each other. They

Do Not Allow Establishment of
Dairy to Drop

A few weeks ago there was much
talk of establishing a dairy al this
point. We have repeatedly pointed
out the benefits of such an institution
at Leavenworth and here again urge
those interested to take the question
up with the ranchers and business
men, who ale equally interested with
the ranchers. II looks as if a dairy
might be established here with slight
effort. The dairy expert who was here
in August said there were over two
hundred cows in the vicinity and was
assured by a number Of ranchers that
the number would shortly be doubled
once it became known that there was
a way Of disposing of milk. Between
two and three thousand dollars so on,
OF this town every month for butter,
II this money remained here it would
make the circulating medium just tina,
much more plentiful, There is no
question about a dairy proving prsc-
teal and profitable. We intend to
keep up the agitation until some one
establishes a dairy.

ment to idle men. Factories, found
ries, wooden mills, cotton mills, shoe
factories, and packing houses will run
full blast and overtime TO supply the
demand. We will be called on to sup
ply. not only Europe but those
countries that have been looking to
Europe for manufactured wares.
Not only will all old established
business enterprises run to full capa-
city but hundreds Of new openings
will be made for the employment of
men. Railroads, just now grumbling,
will be taxed to their full capacity next
year. There will be a tremendous in
dustrial revivel all over the United
States in 1915, and it will only be the
beginning. Years of prosperity and
developments will follow the war,

 A frank admission that the men considered themselves entitled to a share of all profits from operations of the railroads was a feature of the hearing It also developed that the men are seeking to standardization rates only. while the railroads assert the rates cannot be standardized without a coincident standardization of rules and regulations affecting hours of work, allowances for over time and other service.
 William S. Carter. president Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and l2nginemen, testified in a techni- cal way as to why the men consider 1t vital of importance that their pay be computed on the basis of the weight of the locomotive they drive, on its driving wheels. It was Car ter likewise who insisted the men have a right to share in the profits of their roads.
 The only other witness of the day was Samuel T Steinberger, a clerk employed by the Brotherhood of Fire men and Enginemen He produced exhibit four a pamphlet which gives the present rates of pay on every type of locomotive used on most railroads which is a party to the arbitration as it compared the rates Fhich the compilation purports to show will be paid if the proposed schedule is awarded

URGES THAT NAVY

 BE U. s. STANDARD
Says He Realizes Efficiency Of Under Water Vessels but That WarshipS Should Not be Neg IeCted Build Smaller Craft.

WASHINGTON. Dec 4-While submarines have been operating sue cessfully under ideal conditions in the European war. the American navy should accord important functions to both batueships and submarines and not sacrifice battleships for submar- ines in the opinion of Rear Admiral Watt. chief constructor of the navy, outlining his views before the house naval affairs committee. Questioning by the committee showed there is a strong sentiment for increasing the submarine strength of the navy.
 Admiral Watt explained that the navy department purposed letting a contract on December 10 for a sub marine weighing a thousand tons with a speed of twenty miles per hour designed to stay under water longer and have a greater radius of action than any submarine in existence.
