REGAINS MEMORY LOST TWO YEARS
"Man Who Lost Himself" Proves to Be Frank Van
 Vie, Hurt May 3, 1913.

Kenosh Wis, April PA little coterie of Kenosho men witnessed one of the strangest scenes in the history of scientific research here tonight when Frank van Vie, ? years Of age, recovered consciousness after wandering in a sub-conscious state for more than 9 months. Up to s o'clock tonight, van Vie had been known as ''the man without a memory and the man who had los1 himself.' Then, dawn of conscious ness came for him after J. w. Klema, a chiropractic of Kenosho. had ao- iusted two of the vertebrae of his spinal column in the back of van Wie's neck. For three hours the man struggled between dreaming and conscious being, and then like the awakening of a child, he came to himself and told the strange story Of his life.
 Van Vie was injured in Milwaukee on May 3, 1913, when he fell from a ladder fracturing three ribs and in- turing himself about the head

COTTON MEN MEET.
Shortage Of Dyestuffs the Big topic
 of Discussion.

Boston, April 2s-Discussion of the alarming shortage of dye stuffs due to the war occupied the most prom inent position in the speeches de- livered at the annual meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manu- lecturers, which attracted prominent cotton men from all parts of the country in Boston today The con-. vention will last two days.
 It was agreed that the cotton and other-allied trades will be seriously curtailed unless conditions improve The possibilities of building up the dye industry in this country were pronounced not encouraging, but several men expressed the opinion that if the war were protracted the United States will find itself forced to become iadependent regarding dye stuff. It was Suggested that the country should be fortified against another such emergency by increas- ing the present high tariff on dyes.

WAR KEEPS ABOUT S25O,OOO,OOD IN

Refusal of Passports to Tourists Means More Sum
 mer Travel in America.

New York, April 28.-The state de- partment now refuses passports to all save those who have business in Europe. In addition to the billion dollars a year which the excess of export over import Of merchandise is bringing to the United States, the country is now assured of the sum amounting to about $250.000.000 which pleasure seeking Americans ordinarily spend in European resorts and one transatlantic steamship lines the profits of which go to Europeans.
 American shore and mountain re- sorts are sure to be crowded this summer The Panama-Pacifie exposi- ton is indirectly benefited by inc war and American general business also gets an impulse which partially offsets the evil effects of the begin hing of the conflict.
 There will be no gay scenes of farewell on the mammoth docks Of Chelsea and Hoboken this May and June, as crowded leviathans of the sea bear away their burdens to the attractions of the old world. Instead railroad lines will rejoice in an in- crease of the highest class patronage on lines leading to the White Mountains, the Adirondacks and the Maine woods.
 Sailing of passenger vessels from New York have been cut in half. The actual tonnage loss is much greater than this. Most of inc passengers now are delayed army reservsts of the Allies or others whose going means little pecuniary loss to Amer ica.
 Before this time last year the big steamship companies had thousands of advance bookings and were as- sured great profits.
 In 1914 the steamship companies carried 100000 passengers across the Atlantic from or to this port. The average fare for the first class was $120 second class $50 and third or steerage. S35. Taking in all the Atlantic ports, the companies receiv- ed a total of S5.055.7SO
 Tour experts here. figuring the amount the travellers spent in Europe state this must have been about s20O. = 000,000. Adding this to the cost Of the steamship trips. the total amount on European travel was about $30O,- 100000. If $50,000.0o0 is taken as the amount which will be expended by European voyagers, on sea and land, this summer, we have a quarter of a billion good American dollars which can be tempted Out of pockets by summer resort managers clever enough to attract them.

CHAS. F. SCOTT FILES PROTEST
lola Editor Puts Crimp in New
Found Logic.
PrOgressives Planned to Kill
Party, He Declares.

William Allen White of Emporia
and Charles f Scott of lola have en-
gagged in a joint debate concerning the
glories of the Republican party in
Kansas and the nation. White '5on-
tends that the party was purged Ind
purified by the deserving ?rogressives
of 1912 and that the party became
ashamed of itself and reformed. Scott
cannot see it. He refuses to give credit
for party reform TO men who were not
allied with the organization.
The White-Allen debate has .'een
coming to the surface through the ssdi-
torial columns of the Emporia Ga
zette and lola Register. This week
Scott devoted column or space 10
tell White what he thought or reform
rather feel1ngly that had the Repub-
lican voters of Kansas followed The
White lead in 1912, there would DE no
Republican party in 1916. Or course
Scott doesn't name names. Events IN
der discussion are too recent and Scout
is far too kindly and considerate ana
charitable to claw pen the meaning
wounds of the last two state elections.
Some days ago White wrote I'm ell
torial to the effect that while the Pro-
gressive party had not elected many
men to office, it had witnessed the
pleasing spectacle of an opposition
party enacting it's doctrines into NV
Progressiv Are Happy.
Every generation has to learn the
evil of hidebound partisanship, White
said in his editorial. Carl Schurz
and George William Curtis and io1-
kin and the Mugwumps OF the elgntles
taught the nation and the Republican
party what the Bull Moosers are trying
to the teach the Republican party OF
the nation today. And the results OF
the last three years agltatlon are en-
have carried the Bull Moose banner.
They have got most of their demands
enacted into laws.
Scott read that paragraph Fnd
snorted. Scott said if the results of
the recent campaigns brought comfort
to any of the slipping Republicans, IL
was not his province to discount tnelr
lows But Scott was unable to see the
situation in the same light as Wh1te,
the national committeeman Tor the
Progressive party in Kansas.
Scott's Warm Reply.
GAS a matter of pure reason" Scott
wrote ''it is a little difficult to 1oHoW
the logic which claims credit for leg1s-
lation on behalf of a party which never
was in power a minute anywhere In
the world"
Scott possibly thought the Emporil
editor would get those lines. But
that there should be no doubt about it.
he added:
: And it is a little difficult as mat
ter of observation, experience and
common sense to fall in with the con-
clusion that the members of a party
who leave 1t and do their best to Kill
it are the ones who are entitled to
credit for the good things it does, |
rather than the members who stay
with the patty and whose votes put it
in power, in a position to do these |
good things.
Now it is up to White to make an
other explanation of the good effect of
the Progressive party, working from
the outside.

Paris, Oct 23.-The Athens COR
respondent of the Havas News agency
sends the following dispatch under
Fridays date relative to the attitude
of Greece concerning the war:
"All the evening papers publish an
identical note said to be an exact rep
resentation of the governments view
point in the situation. The note ex-
presses surprise at the Intervention of
tho powers in the relations between
Greece and Serbia, the faculty of in
depreciation of the treaty of alliance
of those countries belonging exclu-
sively to the contracting parties, the
accord having been freely concluded
without the Intervention or guaran-
tee of a third party.
:" 1T must not be forgotten says the
note, that Greece s an independent
nation that dispOSeS of it's fate in full
Sovereignty
The note goes on to say that the
AuStro-German attack on Serbia re-
leases Greece at least from tire obli-
cation of armed intervention, and that
Independent of that attack it IS ma
terially impossible for Serbia to give
Greece the support of 10000 men
stipulated in the treaty in case of
war with Bulgaria and that the en-
tente powers have net furnished a
contingent equivalent. The note adds
that the specialists best qualified con-
slider the balkan expedition W uld re-
quire at least 400,0 men and that
under these conditions Greece would
ruin herself without even the con-
ISOLATION of saving Serbia.
Ion the other hand, says the note,
Greece offers all the service she can
render in allowing the free passage
over it's territory of the allies troops
going to the Serbian front. and in
maintaining her own army on war
footing
The note expresses the gratitude of
Greece for the offers made, though
not vet concrete, and thanks Eng
land for the offer of Cyprus. 1t re-
calls the Greek sympathies for the
