Let DOWN BARS
Capper Republican Club De.
cided to Support Ticket.
No Age Limit to New Shawnee
County Body.

The movement to stampede the
young Republicans Of Topeka into q
Capper for Governor club, which was
headed off Thursday night when
set organized a statewide movement
of their own for the support Of the
whole ticket, wound up last night by
organizing what is called the Shaw
nee County Republican club. The
meeting. which was called on We'd
nesday. was held in the Capital build
ing with the idea of getting an en-
dorsement for Arthur Capper.
However. the Intervention of the
supporters of other candidates turned
lican meeting after the harmony of
the occasion became seriously Jared
by a proposal to dissolve the move
ment and throw in with the club
formed at the court house the night
before. Members of the Young Re-
publican club rejected a proposal by
the hackers of the Capper movement
to merge the two bodies and elect new
officers. after which the gathering
dropped the idea of a strictly Capper
endorsement and adopted the name Of
the Shawnee County Republican club
with no restriction on either age or
sex of members.
Ira Burdick was chosen president,
Will Rickenbacher, vice president,
Harry Snyder, secretary, and L. H.
bdIuSS, assistant secretary.
The Capper movement, which was
effectually dampened at last nights
gathering when the body refused to
give that cal @idate their exclusive en-
dOrsement, was gathered up in re-
spouse to the Wednesday call. sent
out from the Capper building and ad-
dressed to a large number of the
younger Republicans Of the city. The
letter read:
Dear Sir: AS per my recent per-
sonal call and your kind willingness
to support Mr.. Capper in the coming
election for governor, 1 beg to advise
that there will be a meeting in the
Daily Capital building. Eighth and

German Chemists to Bring Pat
ents to United States.
America Will Manufacture For
eign Chemical Until War Ends.
SHORTAGE IN EUROPE NOW
American Firms Cannot Supply
Big Foreign Orders.
Russia and France Ask for 4S
Cars Medicated Cotton.

AS a solution of the drug shortage
problem in America, twenty-five ex-
pert German chemists will arrive In
the United States within the next ten
days and arrange for the use of Ger
man patents by American chemical
and drug manufacturers until the
peace pact is signed in the war of the
world, according to representatives OF
eastern firms now in Topeka.
Local druggists and jobbers will un-
doubleday regard this as life saver,
of the question of imported drugs and
chemicals. Patents for the prepare
ton and manufacture of a great num-
Der of the most common kinds OF
drugs in use by the American public
are held by Germany. A large num-
Der of dyes. commonly used in textile
manufacture, are prepared under Ger
man patents. AS result of this stu
alton. drugs in daily use by Topeka
people have advanced from 20 to $50
per cent since the beginning of the
war.
That foreign countries are, also feel
ing the effects of the drug situation
is proven by the fact that foreign
countries are placing large orders with
American manufacturers SC
large that it is impossible to fill them.
A New York firm received an order
for 48 carloads Of medicated cotton
for use in dressing wounds, from
France and Russia few days ago.
Other American preparations and
chemicals are in great demand with
foreign countries. The demand is SO
large that the manufacturers say they
cannot possibly fill them and expect
the price of American drugs to fol-
low that Of the imported ones. Fol-
lowing is the estimated export OF
American cotton to different foreign
countries, a large part of which is
medically prepared in. the United
States or in Europe: France, $780,
100000; England, $245,OOO,OOO; Rus
STA. $5,OOO,OOO, and Germany, $175,-

SINKING The wilhelm
British Prisoner on Board Collier u
the Time Tells of Fight.

London, Aug. 29.-The Evening
News publishes a dispatch from Las
Palmas. Canary Islands, giving an ac-
count of the sinking Of the North Ger
man Lloyd transatlantic liner Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse off the coast of
Africa by the British cruiser High
Flyer, which was reported Thursday.
Lieutenant Deane, a British army
officer, who was taken prisoner by the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse from the
British steamer Galician on the high
seas, is the authority of the Las
Palmas correspondent, and ir an in
terview he tells how the liner was de-
stroyed.
Lieut.. Deane was not on board the
liner; he had been sent over to the
collier Arucai, from which the liner
was coaling.
When it was seen that the Kaiser
Wilhelm was doomed, the German
captain sent his sword, his dispatch
box and a letter to his wife to the col
lier, his secretary being his messen-
ger. Previous to doing this the cap
tain of the liner had announced that
he would himself blow up his COM
mand rather than surrender.
When the High Flyer opened fire
on the liner, Lieut.. Deane continues,
the collier was still fastened to her by
one hawser, and owing to some delay
certain prisoners on board the liner
did not get a chance to leave the ship.
The Kaiser Wilhelm was bow on to
the High Flyer and the British cruiser
had some difficulty in finding her
mark. She Unanswered to. get broad
side on, and the ensuing cannonade
lasted for forty minutes.
All the shots from the Kaiser Will
helm appeared to be falling short
From the collier it was seen that she
had been hit three times, and or
catching fire she ceased replying tC
the shots from the British cruiser
When the liner had been silenced the
High Flyer also stopped firing. By
this time the Arucai. which had sepa-
rated from the liner, had gone too fal
away to perceive anything more thar
that she was still burning.
The Germans kept on board the
Kaiser Wilhelm only her officers, hel
gun crews and few engineers. The
remainder of her men were trans
