ORDUNA PROTEST FILED
Thompson of Industrial Relations
Board Offers to go to Washington.


New York, July 20.-William o.
Thompson, counsel to the federal in
dustriaI relations commission. said to-
day he had sent to the state depart
ment in Washington a protest against
the attack of the German submarine
on the Cunard line steamship Orduna,
on which he was a passenger.
His protest was first telepnOned and
then mailed yesterday.
Mr.. Thompson said he used the tele-
phone to convey his protest to the
state department, because he desired
to remain in New York for a few
days, but that he had offered to go
to Washington at once, if necessary.
Thompson Statement Before Wilson.
Washington, July 2O.-The German
submarine attack on the Cunard liner
Orduna. was formally brought to the
attention of the American govern
ment today by VIM. o. Thompson,
counsel for the industrial relations
commission, who was a passenger on
the ship. Secretary Lansing took Mr..
ThOmpSOn's communication to the
White House with him when he went
some time before the cabinet meeting
for an early conference with President
Wilson. Mr.. Thompson's statement
will serve as the basis of an inves
tigation to be conducted by the treas
ury department, which wilL-gather af-
fidavits from the passengers and crew.

that would release great German
armies for operations against the
French and English. At least two
million Germans are believed to be
engaged.
Windau Is Taken.
Admission from Petrograd that the
Russians have suffered further re-
verses and triumphant claims of great
victories from Berlin, including the
capture of Windau, increased the feel
ing of pessimism here. The censor
permitted the Morning Post to print Il
dispatch from its Budapest CORE
spondent reporting that the evacua-
ton of Warsaw had been ordered,
though military officials here discred-
tied the report.
War office officials since the begin
ming of the present German often
sivc have expressed doubt that the
Teutons would attempt a serious
movement against the Polish capital
both from the north and the south
west. They believe the thinning of the
German line north of Warsaw to sup
port Mackensen's campaign around
Lublin would enable the Russians to
beat back Won Hindenberg.
Advance on Warsaw Front.
The Russian war office added today
that Van Hindenberg's center con-
tinues to advance upon the Narew
front. The assumption here is that
Russian troops have been Withdrawn
from this portion of the line to rein
force the armies blocking Macken-
sens passage from the southwest. All
Petrograd dispatches agree that the
Russian general staff considers Mack

HUNGER STRIKE IN JAIL
Prisoners Object to Mutton Stew: Will
Now Get Bread and Water.

St. Louis, July 20.-Ninety of the
12O prisoners at the city Jail here are
on a hunger strike because they OBJ
Ject to mutton stew as regular food.
In retaliation, according to Warden
William Cole, he is going to diet the
ringleaders.
The prisoners first objected to a
steady mutton stew menu Sunday,
when they hurled their food on the
floor. Since then they have refused
to eat Mutton stew will remain on
the bill of fare, according to Cole, for
all except the ringleaders, who will be
fed bread and water.

the courts are liberal and that such
things are being done in other cities.
Personally, I do not believe it is mon
ey we'll spent and that the results are
not worth the cost
Results Not Worth Money.
Il hold the same to be true of vo-
cationaI training. 1t is a good thing,
that the results are not worth the
money spent. / believe that vocation
al training should be left to private
schools and those specializing in such
things. Only the other night We had
a request from the superintendent of
manual training for $4,000 for circular
saws and other equipment, all of
which may be good but not good
enough to justify the expense.
Against Domestic Science.
Il do not believe in teaching do
mestic science either-nOt that dOmes-
tic science is not a good thing but be-
cause the results do not justify the eX-
pense and a school board in spending
money should distinguish what is edu-
cational work and what is welfare
work.
But they are doing it in other
cities that is the argument that is
put up to justify the school board in
going to some new expense l Won
der whether, if Topeka should cut out
all the new-fangles jim cracks and re-
turn to plain, old-fashioned methods
and confine money expenditures to
what are strictly educational purposes
only, would a bad impression of To-
peka be created. There might be in
some educational quarters, but L be-
lieve that solid, conservative citizens
would welcome such an announcement
and possible Topeka might find that
instead of being laughed at by such
a course, that other cities which are
now in the same position Topeka is in
would soon be following her example
in movement for a wiser expendi-
ture of school funds.
Tax to Legal Limit.
'Topeka's school tax levy is already
up to the legal limit. There is
deficiency and warrants are being
stamped unpaid for lack of funds
but L do not believe members of the
school board can be prosecuted for
creating these deficiencies. Neither
do believe that a legal action can be
maintained to stop payment on these
warrants, although there might be
two grounds fur such aCtion-one
that the debt was illegal because ce
the financial condition of the school
board and another because, in soniN
instances it was not an expense for
an educational purpose.

criticism of other members of the

grade teachers petitioned the school
board for an increase in salaries The
increase asked for would have called
for an additional expense of $4,000

the increases, but we felt that we coulG

around and employed an athletic in
structor to run around over town dur
