FLOUR ON THE DROP.
High Prices Caused by Farmers Hold
ing Their Wheat.

The price of flour has slumped.
There was ten cent reduction in the
retail price today, and one Topeka
five cent drop is scheduled for every
4S-pound sack Thursday. The price
of the best grades of flour today
ranged from S1.95 to $500 per sa ok.
Last February as high as 1925 was
asked by local grocers, the highest
figure since Civil war times.
Local millerS say that the farmers
were holding their wheat the fore part
of the year with the idea of getting
$3.50 per bushel, and natural rise
in price resulted.
The political situation in Europe is
thought TO have something to do with
the present slump in the price of flour.
Then, too, the farmers are now eager
to sell.
The wholesale price of flour today
was $3.50 per hundred as against $3.50
earlier in the season.

Germany Under Limitations.

Washington. June Great Britain
has announced its willingness to per-
init expectation of sugar beet seed
from Germany to the United States
under certain conditions. The fol-
lowing was issued today at the state

The British foreign office has an
nounced that the British government
would consider each case of the ex-
portation of beet seed from Germany
to the United States upon it's merits
and would be willing to give assur-
ances of noninterference with particu-
lar shipments (a) if it is shown that
the seeds cannot be secured except in
Germany; OBJ if there is no question
of exchange of commodities with Ger
many involved; and (c) if the seeds
are shipped from a neutral port, such
as Rotterdam"

LUSITANIA ARMED
Affidavits Submitted to Govern
ment Says She Carried Guns.
Packages Marked "Furs" Con-
tanned GuncOttOn and Acids.

Washington, June 2.-The state de-
partment has received four affidavits
declaring that when the Lusitania sail
ed from New Y ork on her last voyage
she was armed with tour gurs of
good size''-two of them mounted
forward and the other two mounted ir
the stern. According to the arfidavitS
the guns were mounted on an upper
deck.
Three of the affidavits arc from
persons who say they were told by a
passenger just before the Lusitania
sailed that he had seen the guns. The
passenger was an American and ac-
cording to the list of survivors, he
was saved from the Lusitania. The
fourth affidavit is from II man who
says he also saw the guns.
From a state department official it
was learned also that the intimations
have been received that these affi-
davits would be followed by others.
questioning the manifest of the Lusi-
tania-
In the manifest of the Lusitania ap-
peared this item:
''FurS, 349 packages, valued at
9,220," consigned to Liverpool.
1t was said today that an affidavit
would be submitted by a person con-
nected with the firm that made the
shipment that the packages contained
guncotton. Evidence is expected also
that the LuSitania'S cargo contained
acids used in the manufacture of eX-
plosives. 1t is not known just what
these acids were but it was remarked
today that Collector Malone at New
York has already reported that there
was picric acid. used in the manufac
ture of high explosives, on board the
vessel.
The state department does not eX-
pect a charge that the Cunard Steam
ship company, owners of the Lusi-
tania, made a false manifest and vio-
lated the law in that regard. Accord
ing to the statement of officials, it is
taken for granted that the steamship
company was not responsible as it pro-
ceedS on the sworn statement of the
shippers that the packages they ship
actually contain the merchandise de-
Scribed by them.

stunt and Misses Margaret Webb

"maSque," in three acts entitled THE
Spirit of the Prairie. It is poetry
that to the uninitiated sounds as good
as Shakespeare or Milton, with music
by Miss Savage that is real DOPE

men have been given parts in the play
and next Saturday evening these tall
ented young Washburn students will
present on the Washburn campus

gorical masque, is represented by an
cessively wooed by the Indian, the
Spanish explorer, the New England
pioneer, and finally by the Spirit of
Enlightenment, as represented by such
good old schools ats Washburn.k But
in the play as in history the Indian
wooed for Beauty and found Bitter
ness, the Spaniard wooed for Gold
and found Barrenness. the Pioneer for
Life and found naught but Death.
while Civilization wooed for Love and
found LONELINESS.
The whole thing is well worked out
and cleverly written. The perform
ance will be repeated Monday during
tended.
These enthusiastic maidens at
Washburn with their manager have
prepared the masque for publication
and this week will place on sale books
of the complete play with the stage
settings and directions and original
cast of characters together with all
of the music by Miss Savage gotten up
IN an artistic manner with a full
