POLITICS TO FRONT
Diplomatic Side Takes Lead in War
Chronicles of the Day.

Interest in the fighting in the Euro
pean war for the moment has been
overshadowed by political issues.
Coming almost Immediately on the
conviction Of four officials of the Ham
burg American line of conspiracy in
obtaining manifests for vessels with
which to place provisions on German
warships in the Atlantic has come the
announcement that several days ago
the United States requested that Ger
many recall Capt. Karl Boy-Ed, naval
attache, and Capt. Franz Won Papen,
military attache Of the German en-
bassy at Washington.
The officers, it is said, made the step
necessary by improper activity in con-
nection with naval and military mat
ters. 1t is said that the department
was uncertain whether steps should be
taken with regard to other officials Of
the embassies at Washington in con-
nection with similar activities.
The recall of the attaches is tanta-
mount to their forced withdrawal from
the diplomatic service of Germany in
this country.
Official confirmation has been re-
ceived in London that the American
ships Hooking and Genesee, belonging
to the American Transatlantic line,
have been requisitioned by the British
government. A protest already has
been made by the state department at
Washington on the seizure and requi-
of the Hooking and it is
probable also that similar representa-
tions will be made with regard to the
Genesee. Great Britain explains that
as prize court proceedings had been
centralized in London the requisition-
ing of the steamers really means a trip
for them from Halifax and ST. Lucia,
respectively, to London, where the
prize court will take control Of them

YOUNGEST REBEKAH
Helen Brotts, Nine Years Old, At
tended Assembly in Topeka.

Little Helen Brotts, the youngest
future Rebekah to attend the sessions
of the Rebekah assembly this week,
left for her home in Merriam, Kan,
at noon today with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. BrOttS. Little Helen,
9 years of age, didn't participate in
the business of the order, but she
was on hand throughout the four
days of the convention and followed
closely the trend of events
Odd Fellowship has been served the
young lady as long as she can remem-
Der. Her mother, Mrs. E. A. Brotts,
is an active Rebekah and was promi-
it's latest meeting. E. A. BrOttS, her
father, is a past grand and at pres
ent secretary of Forest lodge No. 254
1. o. o. F. of Merriam.
In the convention held here this
week, Mr. Brotts took an active part.
He lent his support to many of the
measures that went through at the
business sessions of the various
branches of Odd Fellowship. In the
campaign for grand warden, Mr..
Brotts took off his coat and declared
himself for Penwell along with a host
of the Topekan's friends. Not a move
did Mr.. Penwell make to secure
vote for himself, Brotts declares. He
refused to even Issue cards announc-
ing his candidacy.
Mr.. Brotts is representative OF
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Advertising

which has been in existence for but
three years has made wonderful
strides and ranks among the leaders

The Bell Company Issues Note of
Warning tc Subscribers.

Persons who buy devices for their
telephones from peddlers are taking a
long chance with their change the
Bell Telephone company warns their
patrons in a four page pamphlet is
sued today. From time to time tim
Grant statesmen, whose wares include
various and sundry works to be add
ed to the equipment which the tele-
phone companies furnish their sub
scribers, wander into the city and
leave an assortment of their machines
here when they leave. During the
past week local phone users have pur-
chased from wandering statesmen at
tachments for their telephones. Now
comes the phone company with a
damper for the business.
In their statement the telephone
company assures its patrons that If
the devices were meritoriouS the
company would furnish them. They
invariably turn out worthless, how
ever, the statement continues.
To reassure beyond all question
those who may doubt the company's
statement that purchases from these
statesmen are merely way of throw
down the law of the company and the
law of the land.
I'VE can't give good local and .ong
distance service unless we control all
the machinery. the telephone COM
pany announces, land you will waste
your money if you buy any of these
peddlers' devices ecause we cannot
permit them to be attached to our
property"
Several court decisions are quoted
by the company in their statement in
substantiation of their right to keep
the unwelcome devices off the rele-
phones
Among the equipment sold here are
sanitary mouthpieces, extra receivers,
racks to hold tablets and a large va
riety of assorted mechanisms that
the officials refer to as junk. The
extra receiver is pocket edition of
the one that comes with the telephone,
a member of the Bell telephone COM
pany says. When attached to the
phone it does serve to shut out noise
from the ear not otherwise covered.
Applying a finger to the ear would
bring the same results, it is claimed.
In addition to being a needless ex-
pense, the device weakens the trans
mission by dividing over two receivers
when considerable difficulty is often
experienced with one. The sanitary
mouthpiece is said to be a common,
ordinary mouthpiece coated over with
something that is supposed to have a
sanitary small. Such a thing as a
sanitary mouthpiece doesn't exist, the
telephone company claims.

insure prosperity as railroads. In
some cases, they lead the railroads"
