PR0CRAM IS OUT ne IS FOR cAPPER WHAT llLS ALLIES
Ex-Governor Stubs Endorses
Topekan's Candidacy.
~Throw" Curtis in Support Of
Geo. A. Neeley2

Just a. Kansas politicians have
been predicting for weeks. w. r.
Stubs. ex-governor. has come out
In endorsement Of tho candidacy of
Arthur Capper Of Topeka for govern
or on the Republican ticket. Stubbs
has written his endorsement to Cap
per's daily paper. the Capital. but 1t
has not been published-as yet.
The formal endorsement may be
made public tomorrow.
Everyone has been expecting Stubba
to endorse Capper-and Capper alone.
Stubbs has a brother-in-law, George A.
Medley, congressman, who ia Democrat
ic candidate for United States senator.
This endorsement il believed by Pro-
gressives in Topeka to mean that the
plan brought out by r. A. Willis OF
Manhattan to the effect that there was
a secret plan to throw" Curtis. Is true.
1t IL felt in political circles today
that there is no doubt that the Re-
publicans of the Progressive type are
ready to support Medley in preference
to Curtis.
1t is said that Stubs declares that
a vote for Allen in the election next
month is nothing more than one-half
q vote for Hodges.

They Outnumber the 6ermans
by 90 Per Cent.
Yet They Seem Unable to Stop
the Invaders.
(By J. w. r. Mason.)

Wy - w. IL AA08Oust
New York, Oct. IA belief that
the machinery OF the French army Ii
not moving smoothly IL suggested by
the ability Of the Germans. with i'm
ferior numbers, to extend their lines
to greater advantage than the allies
were able to do.
The allies supposedly have at least
= 20 per cent superiority over the Ger
mans in Belgium and France. OPP
posed by this outnumbering force, the
Germans would be fortunate IL they
could maintain more than a strictly
defensive attitude. But they have
continued a series OF counter offenses
that have in effect put the allies as
much on the defensive a. the Germans
far away from the German lines Of
communication and the German battle
front has now been extended 80 miles
to Ostend. enforcing on the Germans
an additional 1000 square miles OF
conquered Belgian territory to defend.
The allies have been unable to pre-
-ent this. They have not moved their
own lines nearer the crucial point Of
the German defenses but have had to
give ground in the north until their
own advance position now rests on
ern head Of the allied forces ought to
have swung eastward at the Belgian
frontier instead of which the German
army was able to detach enough men
to compel the allies to move off to the
west.
This situation in the battle area il
puzzling. II the French army II real
ly superior in numbers to the Ger
mans, why are the Germans apparent
ly able to make = greater impression
than the French? The most obvious
answer is that the French have not
supplies that was revealed last year.
Equipment for the superior numbers
of French soldiers may be lacking
either in quantity or quality and the
numerical superiority Of the allies
must wait to demonstrate itself until
this deficiency is made good. A Sec
ond answer may be that the French
general staff has reso1utely declined
to sanction the enormous loss of life
that successful frontal attacks against
the strong German positions has en-
tailed.
The Germans themselves have drop
ped the masked attacks they used dur
ing the rush through Belgium and
France toward Paris. The slower pro-
cess OF many minor attacks rather than
a few major assaults may have been
adopted by General Joffre as more HUI
name though costly in time.
A third alternative is that the allies
are not in much actual superiority
along the western battle front in
France, but are concentrating for a
new offensive in Lorraine against the
entrenched camp at Metz. It would be
in keeping with the many unprece-
denied developments Of the present war
If the allies were able to gain q victory
over the permanent fertilization at
Metz after they had failed to dislodge
the enemy from his temporary field
quarters elsewhere. The probabilities
are that each Of the three hypothises
place q part in Germany's ability to
hold on the forces of her opponents.
That the game can be continued indef-
initely this way is highly improbable.
New developments must soon be looked
for.

SAYS Counsel Folk Concerning
| the Rock Island.
HI. U. Mudge's Salary $6O, OOO3
Loree Got $4,000.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Frenzied
finance certainly figured in the wreck
ing of the Rock Island railroad. as
being developed by the investigation
of that roads affairs now before the
Interstate commerce commission here.
Island railroads assets in extrava-
CANT salary. campaign contributions
and shady business transactions were
pointed out.
Watering OF stock and false entries
in books Of the company were two
salient charges advanced by Fred C..
SharoOd, an expert accountant OF the
interstate commerce commission.
Here is the way. as shown by the
evidence, that the Reid-Moore syndi-
cate controlled the Rock Island rail-
road:
"They got control in 1902. Holding
companies were organized in New
Rock Island were made directors in
these two companies. The holding
companies issued together stocks and
bonds to the amount of $3.50, 000,O 900.
This amount was entirely dependent
on the earning power Of the $75.000.-
900 capital stock Of the Rock island
company. The New Jersey company
was called the Rock Island company;
the holding company in Iowa was
known as the Rock Island Railroad
company" This whole scheme was
labeled 'a'wtering" by Sharood, the
expert.
Chief Counsel Joseph W. Folk. rep
resenting the commission. observed:
THE Rock Island il swimming In
water five times It's own volume"
Among the rich salaries the Rock
Island directors paid themselves were
these:

GEN. WOOD ON ARMY.
Says We Have Force of 10000 Scat
tered. Over World.

Philadelphia, Oct. discriminating
his audience that the United States
has never had a real war against q
real power and that it was a condt-
ton we should think about. Major Gem
eral Leonard Wood, in an address be-
fore the American Medical society
here last night said in part:
I'VE have a small army-103,000
men-and they are scattered all over
the world. In the United States we have
an army about large as the COM
bined police forces of the cities of New
York, Chicago and Boston. On paper
our militia numbers 10000; actual
~. this means 10000; while there are
only $1,000 ready for service in the
field. The national guard of Pennsyl-
vaDia is one Of the best, as is that of
New York, but they are both pa
thetically weak.
1T is not necessary for the graduates
Of a high school to spend the same time
drilling as it is for a laborer. for a man
can learn to be a soldier in six months
with intense application. Until we do
this we can never have an effective re-
serve, 1 mean even reserve behind the
militia
This cannot be done hurriedly in the
onrush Of modern war. You have seen
this onrush of war;
General Wood said the greatest NUM-
Der of men We could muster for an army
would be 100000.
We have no reserve of men or Of
ficers," he continued. How could we
get the officers? In such a case we
would have to have fifteen thousand Of
ficers for these 900 men. These of
ficers do not exist and money will not
buy them. We have never even thought
of war with a civilized country. We
have never had a real war against q
real power-a condition We should think
about.
II suggest that WE take say 500
men each year from Ahe schools and
colleges having military training, give
these men the rank aid allowance Of
a second lieutenant, /have them act
as second lieutenantsTor one year and
then return to their commercial life.
This would give us a desirable body
OF men as reserve officers 1 would
country would have as good a reserve
list OF officers as this country

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington City,
Feb. 8, 1914.

Senator A. 0. Bacon is, at this writ
ing, very seriously i'll and those who are
nearest to him are alarmed over his
condition.
Nearly two weeks ago, while the
Senator was making a short speech
in the Senate, | noticed that he did
not appear to be as well as usual.
He did not have that ruddiness of
complexion that has been usual with
him, and two days later | noticed
that he was confined to his room
with considerable fever.
AS he had no cold and no other
apparent cause for fever, it was
thought that possibly his broken rib
had not healed and that some trouble
there had thrown him into fever.
Examination disclosed that his rib
had healed all right. The doctors
were mystified. An examination
had shown all his vital organs to be
sound, but there was some evidence
of trouble through his kidneys. it
was not such, however, as to ac-
count for the fever.
For more than a week the most
distinguished physicians in Wash
ing ton were unable to diagnose the
case.
Saturday night Senator Bacon suf-
fered greatly with pain in his back
and Sunday he was taken to hospi-
tai for further examination with the
X-ray AS the result of the examin-
alton has not yet been announces /.
j cannot give it here, but the latest
reports are such as to cause very
grave concern. l earnestly hope
Senator Bacon will soon be back in
the Senate. His very advanced age
adds to the danger that surrounds
him.

Senator Bacon has had a long ald
brilliant career. He was born in
Bryan County, Ga, October 20, 1899,
so that he is now in his seventy-fifth
year. He served through the war
and after the surrender began the
practice of law in Macon. He was
elected to the Legislature in 1871,
so that he has been in public life
forty-three years. He was one of
the finest presiding officers the
House of Representatives ever had
and well do | remeber him there.
On the death of Gov Alex. II. Ste
phens Bacon was a candidate for
Governor and was practically nomi-
mated. 1t was seen that he would
win on the next ballot. A recess
was taken and the opposition com
bined and Mcdaniel was nominated.
Several years later he had the
nomination again practically in his
grasp when the opposition put Gen.
John B. Gordon into the race and he
was again defeated.
1t looked like fate was against
him, but in 1894 he was elected to
the United States Senate and no man
of his time has to his credit more
honorable record of twenty years
service in that body. Bacons pres
ent term will expire March, 3, 1919
