Wilson declared today that persons
who would be benefited by American

Wire IS DEADLY
Whole Ranks Of Germans Elec-
trOcuted at Liege.
Two Columns of Kaiser's Men
Fought Each Other.

Paris, Aug. 24.-The Petit Journal
publishes the following details of the
fighting around Liege, obtained by II
from Belgian office:
German troops rushed on the barbed
wire defense before the forts of Liege
in the darkness of night. A very strong
current of electricity was being main
tanned in these wires and as a result
the first ranks of the Germans were
electrocuted.
'Unchecked, the assailants followed
in masses but they were blinded by the
glare of. powerful searchlights. They
hesitated and started to retire. At that
moment a heavy fire of rifles and ar
tillery was concentrated on the mass OF
German troops and they were cut to
pieces The mass of bodies formed a
mound, in some places many feet high.
ITO drown out the groans Of the
wounded the German bugles sounded
martial airs and the troops still alive
united in cheering.
Near one fort two columns of Ger
mans blinded by the glare of Belgian
|searchlights, attacked each other. This
incident was seen from the fort.

Leaders of five nation wide parties
Republicans. Democrats, Progress
sives, Socialists and Prohibitionists-
will meet in Topeka at noon Tuesday
to write their platforms for the COM
ing state wide campaign. Many lead
ers and state candidates are in Topeka
today and by tonight the hotel lobbies
will probably be crowded with well
known politicians on the biennial pill
grimage to the state capitol to talk
over the situation" and make plans
for the future.
On the eve of their councils all par
ties, save the administration party, find
themselves more or less at sea. Care
full campaigns outlined a few weeks ago
have been upset. The political war map
drawn by the partisan strategy boards
has been radically changed or rendered
iIlnocuous by the seven nation real wal
suddenly thrust before the people and
the politicians.
The Republican leaders viewed with
elee the low price of wheat and other
farm products With the continued high
cost of existence. Republicans planned
to spellbind the populace and charge II
all to the Wilson low tariff bill. Now

that shocks the protectionist and knocks
his theory temporarily at least into a

of specific statements. The Demo-
Gratis view conditions with COmplacency.

tisians to sympathize with President
Wilson in the deplorable domestic loss
of his wife, fully realizing that in these
times of war in the eastern world his
hands must be upheld and that he Is
the .sat ans president. men of all DO
litical faiths realize it is not an oppor-
tune time to do any severe slopD1ng
over even in an off year and one of i'm
oortance in congressional and senatorial
districts.
There is likelihood that all of the
three big Kansas platforms will look
much alike regarding prohibition and
suffrage. In the minds OF the majority
of people of the Sunflower state, suf-
frage and rohibition have come to
stay and there is the desire to see their
operat tions are nation wide.

1t is not unnatural that the Progress

the Curtis victory. 1t is noticeable, too.
