WAR NEWS BOILED DOWN
FOR THE RUSHED READER

An acute revival of the subma-
rine issue, chiefly in the MediteF-
ranean, accompanied by a general
offensive activity by Russians on
the eastern front, makes the war
news read today like repetition
OF history six months old.
Along the southern extremity of
the Russian line, to the west of
CZartorysk, where desperate bat
ties have been under way for sew
eral weeks, the Russians claim a
considerable success, which is
said to have resulted in breaking
the AustrO- German lines and to
have eliminated in a retreat,
during which numbers of fleeing
soldiers were drowned and 1000
taken prisoner.
London newspapers continue to
devote much space to the sinking
of the Italian steamship AncOna.
Many of them editOriaIIy express
the opinion that the attacking
boat was a German submarine,
and they arrive at the usual con-
cIusion that the United States is
more concerned i'm exacting rep
aration, than any other nation.
A cannOnade of terrific inten-
sity was heard in the neigIibor-
hood of the, Fehmarn belt, in the
Baltic sea. 1t is believed to have
been the result OF British sub
marine attack on German
squadron.
The Germans apparently have
abandoned their threat against
Riga, along the railroad from Tu-
KUN to the west of the city. Ber-
lin says the German troops had
evacuated the forest district in
the vicinity of Shlok. The rea-
son given is the rains have trans
formed the district into swamps.
The Moraya river in Serbia
has been crossed at several points
by Bulgarian troops pushing
westward. after the retreating
Serbians, Berlin reports. Four
thousand SerbiaDS have been cap
tured in the mountains south of
the western Morava, where Teu-
tonic troops are pursuing the Ser
bian forces.
The makeup of Great Britain

If this subject had been announced
as the chief subject for the first gen
eraI session of the Kansas State Teach
erS' association this morning at the
city Auditorium the building probably
would have been jammed to the doors
with townspeople as well as teachers.
The subject was not announced but
such a discussion is just what took
place and the 1000 teachers who fill
ed the Auditorium got a thrill that
they were not looking for when a clash
between the ideas of Massachusetts
happened.

In LAST WARNING
Attorney General Gives Final
Word to LeavenWOrth.
Proceedings Against Officials
Unless They Act.

AT a conference today in the office
of S. NJ. Brewster, attorney general,
the liquor proposition was checked
squarely up to Leavenworth city and
county officials. Brewster made clear
at the conference that unless imme
diate showing were made which in
dicate genuine law enforcement,
wholesale custer suits would be in
volved. The county attorney, mayor,
chief of police and a number of MEM
bers of the police force will be pro-
ceeded against at once unless Brewster
is convinced that the liquor law is
actually enforced in the county.
The consultation behind closed
doors in the attorney generals office
was the second to be held in two
days. Wednesday Floyd Harper,
county, was told just what he was
expected to do and how he was ex-
pected to do it. For more than an
hour today Mayor GRANGER and Ch1er
Shaughnessey were on the carpet Re-
ports indicate a red hot sixty minute
session and the two officials went
home with a thorough understanding
of Brewster's plans and determination.
AS result of the conference,
Brewster today notified j. K. Cod
ding, special assistant attorney gen
eral to take no further action on
liquor crusades in Leavenworth- In
the meantime NUMBER OF 1I Jo1ntlSts ils
and questionable resorts viii be
watched Then, unless something is
actually done the AK will fall
Brewster Isn't satisfied.
The officials understand perfect
w what 1 want and what l pro-
pose to do" said Brewster after the
conference. Unless a real showing
is made in the next few days, there is
no secret about my plans 1 am not
satisfied and the officials know it. Now
1 propose to bring custer proceed
ings against the county and city Off
Gals who are responsible for these
conditions, unless things are done and
done at once
Brewster made no effort TO conceal
the fact that he would proceed at
once against the county attorney,
mayor and chief of police unless they
got busy. In addition to these Off
Gals trouble confrontS a number of
mem bers of the Leavenworth police
force. According to reports in the
state house, the Leavenworth officials
have something less than a week in
which to make a showing of good
faith. And Brewster proposes to
watch them every minute of that time.

COLD WAVE ARRIVES
A Drop of 26 Degrees in Temperature
During the Night.

Kansas is celebrating the anniver-
sary of big cold wave with brand
of weather strikingly similar to that of
four years ago. Last night at 10
o'clock, with a fcrty-mile wind from
the south, the temperature stood at 72
degrees BY o'clock this morning
the wind had shifted to the northwest
and the mercury had tobogganed to As
degrees. At O'Clock the reading
showed a further fall of 8 degrees.
In 1911 the temperature on the
evening of November 10 was 68 de-
grees By Z o'clock the mercury had
dropped to 10 degrees above zero.
The forecast promises a further
drop in temperature and the shippers
forecast shows a prospect for freezing
weather tonight at Topeka. The fore
cast calls for fair weather tonight and
Friday; colder with killing frost to-
night The shippers forecast reads:
Protect shipments north and west to-
night against freezing temperatures.
The wind IS, last night was in the
southwest from 11:45 until 4:30
o clock, when it shifted to the north
west. The highest velocity was at
11:3O o'clock, when it reached a rate
of 40 miles an hour. A total of SO

ernoon and last night. The heaviest
fall was between IL and 1918 o'clock,
when the precipitation measured .29
of an inch. The Kaw river rose L

A drop of 26 degrees in tempera-
ture from 10 until Z O'Clock is almost
unprecedented except for the fall of
1911. Tho temperature this morning,
however, was still above normal for
this date by degrees. The normal

WAS ANCONA WARNED?
CRISIS HANGS ON QUERY

Washington, Nov. II. ~ Two
prime facts awaited discrimination
today by the United States before
proceeding to protest the sinking of
the Italian liner Ancona. These
were:
Was the Ancona warned before
attack?
Was the attacking submarine
German or Austrian?
Preliminary dispatches to the
state department., received from
Ambassador Page and American
cOnsuls, left these two questions in
doubt.
Press reports of the disaster
caused tension in official circles to
relax somewhat. The reports that
the AncOna tried to escape by flight
after being oyerhauIed, lcsSened
the gravity of the situation.
1t was made clear that no protest
could be or would be made by this
government, IL it were officially
and positively established that the
AncOna did not obey international
maritime laws requiring submis-
sion to search after being over
taken.
