ARMS AND THE MAN.

Modern history. which is but another
term for modern life, is full OF sur

automatically of the operations by the

visions of romance If they had been
suggested only a few months ago
Even in a machine made war man is
the deciding element. and man has ever

IN BAD TASTE.
Sending of Toy Ship to Europe
ArOuses Criticism.
SuccOr for Wounded and Starv-
ing Is More Desired.
(By Alice Rohe.)


Rome, Dec. 10-when the good
ship Jason. laden with toys sent by
the children of free and neutral
america to the children OF warning
Europe, arrived at Genoa, 1t brought
something unlocked for and unexpect-
ed. The Jason's cargo OF playthings
stirred up indignation among promi-
nent charitable aid philanthropic
workers who are toiling night and
day in the interests of the bereayed
women and children suffering the
terrorssof war.
There Is open criticism here that so
mucn money should have been spent
IN sending toys when food and warm
ciothing Is needed and medicines and
supplies are lacking in the fight to
save the wounded from death.
Miss Evelyn S. Falkner, prominent
mere through her philanthrOpies and
VINO heads the local Servian relief So
city, voiced the sentiment Of her sister
workers In the cause of humanity
The sending of that great ship laden
with toys Is quite in keeping with
Marie Antoinette's suggestion that the
starving Parisfans who asked for bread
De given cake" said Miss Falkner.
The motives which permitted the
children of America to send some
christmas expression of cheer to the
children OF Europe's war-ridden coun-
trles were high and human, but the
american boys and girls are not to
pane. 1t was the misguided spirit of
their elders which turned the generosity
and enthusiasm of youth into such ,lse-
less channels What mock sentiment
tai1ty could inspire people to send toys

TO LIVE IN MANSION.
Bale Waggener Would Occupy Gov
ernOr's House In Topeka.

Regardless of the fact that Arthur
Capper, governor-elect, will not Oc-
cupy the governors mansion, there is
a possibility that the state residence
at Eighth avenue and Buchanan
street may be occupied this winter.
Senator Bale p. Waggener of Atchi-
son has stated that he would like to
live in the executive mansion and will
move to Topeka for the legislative ses-
sion If arrangements can be made
with the state and Mrs. Waggener."
Because of the condition of his
health, Senator Waggener has told his
friends that he does not expect to
take his usual active part in the COM
ing session. In 1918, Senator Wag-
gener was chairman of the judiciary
committee and was active on the floor
of the upper house. This year he may
not ask for the chairmanship OF the
judiciary committee, although he has
stated that he would like a place on
both the judiciary and ways and
means committees

Along the 500 Miles Of Trenches
Into Alsace.

Paris, Dec. 1O.-A general stiffening
Of the allied line from the coast along
the 300 miles Of trenches into Alsace
Is now under way as the Germans are
being pushed back foot by foot and the
outer defenses Of the French and
British troops are being extended.
In anticipation of a possible counter
offensive by the Germans every new
position taken by the allies Is being
doubly strengthened. That every inch
Of ground gained must be held at all
cost. il evidently the order from the
headquarters Of Generals French and
Joffre.
The French artillery is giving ex-
cellent support to the infantry not
only In the advance but in hold
ing the Germans in check while the
new positions occupied are made Sc
cure against attack.
Brisk fighting continues in the vicin-
ity of Ypres and along the entire line
from the coast to Lille. Ypres has again
been bombarded, it is reported.
Unconfirmed reports state that the
allies have taken full possession Of Dix
nude. This position has changed
hands repeatedly, however, and as 1t
is in the midst of the inundated sec
ton, great importance is not attached
to it from military standpoint.

The fate Of the small German cruis-
ers, Dresden and Nurnburg, which al
last accounts were being pursued by
British warships, had not been dis
closed. The British admiralty pre-
served its silence as to the makeup Of
the squadron which sent to the bot
tom the formidable German cruisers
ScharnhOrst and Gneisenau and the
smaller cruiser, Leipzig, but 1t was
intimated at Toxic that the warships
which avenged England for the loss
of the Good Hope and Monmouth
were all British vessels.
So far as is known to the navy au-
thorities at Toxic the japanese squad
ron sent to the South Pacific did not
take part in the engagement. 1t is
also said at Toxic that the British
squadron was reinforced recently by
the addition Of several big gun ships.
SO that presumably the German war
ships were opposed by a stronger
enemy.
The latest report concerning the
condition of Emperor William was
that he was unable to leave his bed
and that his fever had not decreased
There is no official confirmation of
reports that the emperor il suffering
from pneumonia.
The German armies in the west have
been stirred to renewed activity by the
offensive movement of the allies, as
is shown not only by their sharp at
tacks in Flanders, but by their at
tempted advance in the department of
Disc which the French war office says
was repulsed. Ypres and Furnes are
again reported under heavy lombard
ment by the Germans.
An official Russian statement shows
there has been no letup in the fighting
in the east which has zeen proceeding
with almost unprecedented severity for
q fortnight. Both in central Poland and
in Galicia the Russian statement re-
ports the Germans are making attack
pafter attack in attempts to pierce the
Russian lines.
Petrograd asserts that these assaults
have been repulsed with heavy losses
for the Germans but it is reported in
Berlin that in the battle near Cracow
Galicfa. both Russian wings have been
beaten back.
