ATTACK ON THE ORDUNA
UPSETS THE OPTIMISTS

Washington, July 17.-News of
the attack on the Cunarder Orduna
upset the theory of some officials
here that Germany, while not
yielding in the American diplomat
demand that unaI1ned vSSelS
be warned of attack in accordance
with International law, was i'll
practice observing that procedure.
The view that Germany was now
conducting her submarine warfare
in accordance with the principles
for which the United States con-
tends has been so confidently en-
tertained in official quarters That
the attack on the Orduna came as
little less than a shock.
New York, July 17.-WilIiam ..
Thompson of Chicago, counsel for
the Industrial relations commission
of the United States, was one of
the Orduna'S passengers who saw
the accident on that vessel. He
declared he would write a protest
to Washington, setting forth the
details of the attack.

London, July 17.-Forty thousand
women, dressed in red, white and blue
-colors of the union jack and of
France-participate this afternoon in
the greatest suffrage demonstration in
England since the days of militarism.
Accompanied by seventy-five brass
bands, they marched from the Thame eS
TO Trafalgar square in a patriotic dem
Opstration, to prove to the government
thar women are ready to do their
bit' to help England win the war.
Great Outbursts of Cheering.
Tremendous outbursts of cheering
greeted the leaders of the pageant and
groups of the prettieSt girls in Lon
don appropriately costumed to repre-
sent each of the allies. Heading the
procession was a beautiful girl dressed
in the national colOrs of Belgium and
carrying a tattered Belgian flag.
Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst and sew
eral other leaders who marched in the
procession later dropped out and
formed a deputatiOn that visited Min
lister of Munitions Lloyd George.
Mrs. Pankhurst placed before Lloyd
George figures to show that forty per
cent of the ammunition workers of
Germany are women; that seventy five
per cent of all foods canned for the
German army are timed by women.
She emphasized that the women muni-
ton workers in Germany were un-
trained for the work before the war,
but have shown themselves Valua BILE
workers for their country.
Willing to Do Any Work.
Our fight for votes for women is
a forgotten issue in the national crisis -
said Mrs. Pankhurst. I'VE are willing
to do any work the government may
assign to us, day or night"
Mrs. Pankhurst and her colleagues
later rejoined the procession The
parade passed cheering thousands
along Picadilly and near Trafalgar
square.

! Kansas City, aJuly 1.-THE local
weather bureau warned the big pack
ing concerns and other business in
tereSts in the west bottoms here to
prepare for 2S-foot stage in the;
! Missouri river at Kansas City by Sun
day night. Residents of the IoWIands
east of Kansas City also were told by
the government officials to expect L
thirty-foot mark in the Missouri river.
The Kansas river here this morning
stood at 235 feet, fall of two-tenths
of a foot over night. The Missouri
here was at 27.5 feet, a rise of two
tenths of a foot since yesterday after
noon If the rivers here go as high as
the weather bureau predicts serious
damage is feared.
Scattering rains fell in the Kansas
river watershed last night. However,
which now is being discharged from
the tributaries into the main stream
is causing the trouble.
Service between Kansas City and st.

There has been no rain for more than

The railroad companies are making
heroic efforts to resume train service

PASS FEES ALONG
Film Exchanges Shift Burden
to the Movie Houses.
Follow the Suggestion Made by
MIR. Justice Dawson.
PAY S18, 900 TO $40, 900 YEAR
Nearly Half of This Is Profit to
the State.
Exhibitors May Try to Have the
Law Repealed.

The five hundred or more movie
shows in Kansas will in the future
be compelled to pay for the censoring
of films that are used in their theatres.
A number of the exchanges in Kansas
City have decided to charge ten cents
on each reel that is used in Kansas and
this ten cents will go to make up the
cost of censoring.
This is following the suggestion of
John S. Dawson, former Attorney-G Gen
eral of Kansas who in his pleading be-
fore the United States Supreme Court,
when the bill was attacked by a large
film corporation as being unconstitu-
tional, said, "The allegations of this
film company that the burden of CEN
sorship will fall upon them is not the
case. 1 suggest that the film COM
panies REIN burse themselves for this
censorlng by charging the exhibitor a
small amount on each reel.'
The film companies want censor
ship, but they want the right kind of
censorship without the great expense
that they are now put to before their
films can be shown in Kansas. The
censor fee is 50. In addition to this

London, July Ia. TorpedOeS
fired by a submarine of German
nationality caused the loss OF the
steamship Lusitania and its pas
sengers, according to findings Uf
the court of inquiry appointed to
investigate the disaster.
The court held no blame for the
tragedy attached either to Captain
Turner. commander of the vessel,
or the Cunard line, the owner.
after having carefully inquired
into the circumstances of the dis
aster," says the formal report OF
the court, 1.-The court finds the loss
of said ship and lives was due to
damage caused to the ship by tor
pedoes fired by submarine OF
German nationality.
I'm the opinion of the court, the
act was done not merely with the
intention of sinking the ship. but
also with the intention OF destroy
ing the lives of the people on
board
Other salient features of the re-
port are that the life boat and
life belt facilities were adequate;
that the demeanOr of the crew was
above blame, and that the conduct
of the passengers, barring a slight
panic when the Steera9e passengers
came on deck, was praisewOrthy.
The report was a distinct diSap-
pOintment to the American Surviv-
ors. who expressed indignant sur
prise at the portion which eXOner-
ated Captain Turner and the Cum
ard line from all blame and COM
mended the discipline of the crew.

whose wife was lost.
Looked for Condemnation.
Before the reading began. Major
Pearl, who has followed the whole
case closely, expressed the opinion
that the decision would sharply con- =
denim the officers of the ship and OF
the Cunard line for negligence.
mo doubt there were mishaps In
handling the ropes of the boats" Lord
Mersey said, but in my opinion there
was no incompetence or neglect"
Baron Mersey found that Captain
Turner was fully advised by the Brit
ish admiralty as to the best course
to follow. and added that in some re-
spects he did not follow these out.
The court pointed out, however, that
the admiralty instructions were not
intended to prevent Captain Turner
from exercising his individual judg-
ment, and that his failure to follow
the admiralty advice to the letter was
no reason for blame.
Cartridges on Board.
The cargo was a general one, but
a part consisted of cases of cartridges
about five thousand. This ammuni-
tion was stored well forward on the
upper and lower decks and was about
fifty yards away from where the tor
pedO struck the ship.
Lord Mersey then repeated that the
Lusitania carried no masked guns u1
troops.
The warning issued by Germany be-
fore the ship left, ne found, only as-
graVated the crime of her sinking.
Explaining the curtailment of boiler
power, Lord Mersey said the Lusita mia
had made five successive trips in this
fashion before the disaster and ''in my
opinion this reduction IN the steamer
speed was of no significance and was
proper in the case
