UP BY 8 MASKED MEN

Salina, Feb. 9.-Mrs. Jennie Beck
and her daughter, Miss Georgia
Beck, were going home Saturday
night at $3.50 o'clock when they
were suddenly attacked by three
men.
Miss Beck started to- run. Far
down on East Walnut street she saw
a man and she screamed, hoping to
attract his attention. But he was
too far away. She had not reached
Fifth street and she turned back
and saw that her mother was lying
down on the walk and that one OF
the men was bending over her. The
young lady screamed again and the
man looked up and moved away
slightly, giving Mrs. Beck a chance
to regain her feet.
Miss Beck ran back and the men
then fled. They got no money. Mrs.
Beck was uninjured In the fail.

Tramps are pretty thick and some
times they are deserving. But the
Parsons Sun says that in the exper-
fence of that town seven out Of nine
tramps are not worth your assistance
and this is a generous estimate.
Parsons has been flooded with them
and to solve the problem of giving
them food and shelter, the Salvation
Army was commissioned to look at
ter them. The business men were
provided with tickets and when a
"bo" asked for help, the plan was
to give him a ticket and send to the
Is. A. headquarters. Eight have thus
far applied for aid at the Sun and
all have been given bits of paste
board. Only one has gone to Ensign
Carson and asked for assistance
and this one refused to work an hour
to earn his meal ticket.

No Hostile Action Against Neutral
Shipping Contemplated
WILL TAKE EVERY PROBATION
ProcIaiming of War Zone OF Waters
Around Great Britain Designed
As Warning Of Danger,
Berlin Explains

Berlin, via The Hague to London,
Feb. 9.-The naval measures OF
Germany against British commerce
are in no sense blockade. No hos
tile action against neutral shipping
is contemplated. German submarines
and warships will endeavor by every
means in their power to avoid sink
ing American or other neutral ships,
and will take every precaution TO
avoid a mistake.
The proclamation declaring the
waters around Great Britain to be a
war zone, like similar British mea-
sures which were taken as a prece-
dent, is designed, 1t is asserted, to
warn neutrals that a ship venturing
into the naval field Of operations
exposes itself, in the same fashion
as a civilian wandering on a land
battlefield, to the risk OF being
struck by a chance shot.
It was stated today that it might
be safely asserted that the Germans
have no intention Of sinking an
American ship unless she is carrying
contraband OF war and then only II
her crew cas- be given the possibility
Of escape.

the death of Prof. L. L. Dyche, today
tells students of the death Of Pro-
lessor Dyche's friend and comrade.
Dean Frank o. Marvin, who passed
away Saturday night in San Diego,
Cal. Heart trouble was the imme-
date cause of his death.
Forty years of loyal devotion to
the university is the record of Dean
Marvin, and to him belongs the
credit not only of upbuilding one of
the strongest engineering schools in
the country, but of being domin-
ant factor in the growth of the uni

Dean Marvin went to California
about a month ago in the hope that
his health would be improved by the
change. Mrs. Marvin was with him
at the time of his death, as was also

The house of representatives in
Topeka has decided to knock out the
clause in the election bill passed two
years ago which prevented an able
bodied man from receiving help and
was thus the mean Of cutting out
many votes of persons who cannot
read. The house has decided that any
sober voter shall be entitled to have
help in marking his ballot. This will
mean that any one who asks for help
will get It, for SO long as. a man is
able to talk he will be. considered
sober, 1t will mean that the old way
OF determining whether or not
voter stays bought or not. will be

The telegram from Utah that a
former Kansan" is abroad in that
state telling the people that prohi-
bition Is a failure here indicates
that the liquor forces are as active
as ever. The Reflector receives FREE
quently such inquiries as that sent
Mr.. Case last week and some OF
these are accompanied by newspa-
per clippings pretending to show
great degradation. poverty and GRIM
inal tendency compared with our
neighboring states. Where such sta
tistics are obtained the good Lord
only knows; no one in Kansas has
been able to discover their source.
The people OF Kansas know that
the prohibitory law is enforced as
strictly as any other law on the
statutes and they also know that
were there a vote on the retention
of the law the vote after thirty
wears of experience would be over
whelming for prohibition. The pros
perity and progress of Kansas are
due in no small degree to the fact
that It has spent its money for
homes and business enterprises in
stead of for booze and 1t intends to
continue so to do until the end OF
the chapter.

The task of introducing the bud

Two more days have been allotted
to the discussion of these army es-
innate" which are called blank

of actual money which will be ex-
pended under them are represented
by nominal or token figures. Under
Secretary Tenants speech was q

and a plea for more recruits.
at is true" he said, ''that re-
cruiting thus far has been very sat
isfactory, but 1t varies from week
to week and possibly at the present
moment a little more energy put
into recruiting would not be out OF
place. Every man will be needed in
this great life and death struggle.
The variations and vicissitudes OF
this war may yet call for even great
err sacrifices from the nation than
have yet been made"
The press bureau discussion was
brought on by a motion Of Jos.
King, liberal of North Somerset,
that the action of the press bureau
in restricting the freedom of the
press and Withholding informatios
about the war has been guided by no
clear principles and has been calcu-
lated to cause suspicion and discon-
