GERMANS LOSE IN AFRICA
tionaIIy to Gen. Botha-Boer Sol
diers to Be Sent to France.

Pretoria, South Africa, July 10
General Botha, commander of the
forces of the Union of South Africa,
has accepted the surrender of all Ger
man military forces in German South
west Africa
The Germans surrendered uncondi-
tionally, following the issuance Of Cen
eraI Botha's uItimatum, which expired
at 5 o'clock Thursday evening.
With the exception of the necessary
army of occupation, the citizen army
will be brought home as quickly as
possible.
London, July 1O.-The surrender Of
the entire German force in German
Southwest Africa closes one of the
most important campaigns of the great
war and releases for service elsewhere
the South African contingent
The campaign against the import
ant German African colony was con-
sidered so vital that all the resources
of the South African Union were used
in it, but it's successful conclusion
probably means that despite the fact
that German East Africa remains IN
conquered, the contingent will be dis
patched to France.

TORNADO KILLS FIFTY-FOUR
Cincinnati the Greatest Sufferer in
Storm Which Swept Parts of
Five States.

Cincinnati, July 9.-The tornado
which started near St Charles, No,
yesterday afternoon and swept across
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and into Ken
lucky killed probably fftyfour per
sons, and the death list may run high
er. The greatest loss of life and prop
erty damage was at Cincinnati, where
thirty-two persons are known to be
dead and ten are missing, with the
probability that later reports will in
crease the loss of life.
The known dead in other states are
four in Missouri, one in Illinois, three
in Indiana and four in Kentucky
At Cincinnati the tornado destroyed
hundreds of plate glass store windows
and outside showcases. 1t ripped the
heaviest signs from their fastenings.
1t turned over motor cars standing on
the streets 1t uprooted hundreds of
trees.
The estimate Of property damage in
creased as the day wore on. A com
mittee of business men placed the
damage at well above the million
mark.

0UTWlTTED THE GOVERNOR
Structure for RosedaIe Medical School
Completed Over the Protests Of
State Officials.

Members of the state board Of adj
ministration have succeeded in win
ming new building for the Rosedale
medical school over the protests of
Governor Capper and members of the
legislature. A $4,000 appropriation
for new building in 1913 was never
wiped from the books and in the last
few weeks the board has spent the
money and the medical school has a
building.
When the campaign for slashing ap-
preparations was launched by Cover
nor Capper, the RosedaIe school wa;
among the institutions which came
under the knife. In fact. when the
senate and house conference commit
tees finally agreed to give Rosedale
new $4,000 building and their &C
ton was approved by both legislative
bodies, Governor Capper vetoed the
bill
Work of cutting holes in the app1o-
priation bills occupied the attention of
the ways and means committee day
and night during the recent session.
So, in their zeal and haste, it was per-
haps only natural that the committee
should overlook a few details. In al
irving at decision on the $4,000 ap-
preparations for Rosedaie, the COM
mittee forgot to repeal the 1913 act
giving the school $4,000 for build
ing.
The $4,000 appropriation of two
years ago was not regarded as suffi-
cient to erect a new building. For
that reason the money was not used
But when the governor said that Rose
dale should have no new building, the
administration board got busy. 1t
found that the 1913 appropriation act
was in force and effect and that the
money was available until the end of
! the fiscal year.
1t was a few days after the legisla-
ture went home that the administra-
ton board found it could use the
$4,000. Immediately bids were asked,
and the contract for the new building
was let. Now the work is completed,
the $4,000 has been spent and Rose
dale has won, over the action of the
governor. Vouchers on the building
fund have been issued by w. E. Davis,
! state auditor, and the warrants are be-
ing paid by Earl Akers, state treas
urer.

We EAT TOO MUCH
so Ford is Going to Show Us
How to Save Money and
Have Better Health.
7. EDISON USES LITTLE FOOD
But He Does Much More Work Than
Most Foiks-Drunkenne May BE
Caused by StUfHng. .

Detroit, Mich, July 9.-OveT-eating
causes brain sluggishness and an Ape
tite for liquor Therefore Henry Ford
is to establish in the new Ford General
Hospital a department of dietetics TO
teach not only the Ford employees, but
the general public, to eat less and how
to eat Incidentally, Mr.. Ford expects
to enable his employees to save a mil
lion dollars by intelligent eating.
People consume three times as much
food as they should, the head of the
Ford Motor car industry believes, and
by reducing this amount the craving
for alcoholic stimulant in many cases
will be entirely removed. The hospi-
tai plans, in substance, are as follows:
New department in public hospital
to teach people how to eat
People to have benefit of expert die
tician.
Less eating is expected to prevent
cases Of alcoholism.
One thousand private rooms for the
middle class to be provided at new
hospital, the charge for a sick man tC
be 81 day, including room, board and
nurse attendance.
Nurses to work IN three shifts no
nurse to work more than eight hours
a day
New buildings at hospital to be built
around a garden.
Lake to be made in front of hospi-
tai
The department of dietetics will be
a means of prevention OF illness, &C
cording to a statement of Dr. James E.
Mead, who is in charge of the Ford
Hospital I'VE are prepared to cure
cases OF addiction to drugs and to
liquor Doctor Mead said, but we pre-
fer to prevent them"
The work will not be confined to
Ford employees. All persons, it is an
nounced, are welcome to all the bene-
fits of the discoveries made by the hos
pital staff of physicians
Thomas Edison eats less and does
more than any other man know" Mr..
Ford said. THE best authorities I can
find tell me that we eat too much. 1
myself have tried the theory that less
eating is beneficial and I am convinced
that it is true.
Think of the waste Of foodstuffs
there is, too. We wouldn't feed an
engine three times as much fuel as it
needs. Yet we pay out our good money
to gormandize at the expense of our
| income and our health

he said he found the body
There were many conflicting reports
as TO the manner in which Holt met
his death, but it was definitely estab-

stefan, that Holt died OF a fractured
skull

tailed to watch Holt, said he was If

CENsORs EVADED BY TRICK

New York, July 1.-THE Evening
World today declared that the United
States censorship over the German
owned wireless station at Sayville, N.
Y, is being evaded by secret system
invented by Dr. l. Kitseo, a scientist,
with laboratory at 2O9 Walnut Place,
Philadelphia.
The World asserted that Kitseo in
vented a system by which the same
simple phrase could be made to con-
vey several different meanings in
wireless transmission by shortening
or 1engthening the period of sending.
The Philadelphia scientist, the
World declared, was tricked into re-
veaIing his secret by man who rep
resented himself to be an agent OF
the German government.

GERMANY'S REPLY
EvADES The POINT
Kaiser'S Government Admits
Right of NeutraIs on High
Seas, However.
WON'T HARM AMERICAN SHIPS
But United States Must See That No
Contraband Is Carried-Wash-
ington Is Silent.

Berlin, July 10.-Germany' offer,
embodied in the reply to the United
States note regarding the sinking of
the Lusitania and submarine warfare,
which was delivered to James w. Ger
ard, the American ambassador, last
night is:
Ffrst-Reiterated assurance that
American ships engaged in legitimate
trade will not be interfered with nor
the lives of Americans upon neutral
ships be endangered.
Protection for Americans.
SecOnd-That German submarines
will be instructed to allow American
passenger ships to pass freely and
safely, Germany entertaining in return
the confident hope that the American
government will see that these ships
do not carry contraband; such ships
to be provided with distinguishing
marks and their arrival announced a
reasonable time in advance
The same privilege is extended to a
reasonable number of neutral passen-
ger ships under the American flag, and
should the number of ships thus avail
able for passenger service prove mad
equate, Germany is willing to permit
America to place four hostile passen-
ger steamers under the American flag
to ply between North America and Eu-
rope under the same conditions.
Washington Is Silent
Washington, July 10-ArrivaI of the
press translation of the German note
confirmed impressions which have
been current in official quarters for
several days that Germany would re-
fuse to give the assurances asked for
by the United States in her last note
that the lives of Americans travelling
the high seas on unarmed ships of any
nationality be not endangered.
The press copy arrived too late to
be read by many officials and those
who saw it said they could not com
ment until the official text from Am
bassador Gerard had arrived. This
