Electrically Heated Underwear.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.
U. P. staff correspondent.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-(By mail.)-
Germany's latest scientific contribu-
tion to war is electrically heated un-
derwear. The inventors are Max
Beck, professor of technical cleo
tricity, University of Innsbruck, and
lieutenant of engineers; and Profess
sor Won Schrotter of the University
OF Vienna. The electrically heated
underwear is made of non-conducting
material interviewer with system Of
fine wires. For each series OF trenches
it is necessary to install an electrical
plant, from which conducting wires
are carried. When soldier feels
cold, all he has to do is connect up
his underwear with the current wires.
The garment offers special facilities
for warming the hands merely by
placing them in the pockets of the
trousers. One possible danger Of the
electrically heated underwear is a
short circuit. but the inventors are
confident they have practically elimi-
mated this possibility by secret sys-
TEN. AS now perfected it will be pos
sible fer soldiers to warm themselves
with this electrical clothing in
trenches about four hundred feet in
front of the electrical plant; in iso-
lated advance posts, the underwear
may be warmed 1900 feet away. A
transformer located in the trenches
regulates the degree of warmth.
A full wired pair of drawers weighs
less than two pounds and costs only
$50. They will be extensively used on
the Russian front this winter.

WASHINGTON Dec. 18.-The
American reply to the Austrian note
in regard to the Ancona incident will
be brief and sharp, permitting no fur
ther quibbling.
The situation between this govern
ment and Austria is described today
in official circles as being very grave.
No doubt that the Austrian requests
will be rejected was left by the
promptness with which this govern
ment acted. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that time limit was given
austria for a complete disavowal OF
the sinking of the Ancona.
Such a limit would constitute an
ultimatum and result in the immediate
severance of diplomatic relations.
Secretary Lansing made public the
Austrian note today. The most sig
nificant feature of it was insistence
upon discussion of the evidence and
principles involved in the case.

BY HUSBAND

Stating that she had been deserted
by her husband and left in a penniless
condition at the Central hotel, a
woman who says her name is Mrs.
James Walker applied to Chief Phil
lips OF the Chickasha police force yes
terday afternoon for aid.
Chief Phillips made a careful in
vestigation of the case and afterward
raised funds with which he bought the
woman a ticket for Bristow, Okla,
from where she alleged she and her
husband had come to Chickasha day
or so ago.
According to the information
cleaned by Chief Phillips. Mrs. Walker
came to Chickasha with her husband
who was searching for work. He had
told her that at one time, several years
ago, he had been an employ of the
Chickasha shops of the Rock Island
railroad and thought he could again
secure employment here. Thursday
morning Walker stated to his wife,
she told the chief, that he had secured
employment from the owner of local
second hand store and that he had
rented a house, bought the furniture
and would return for her later in the
day. Failure of the husband to return
caused the woman to apply to the
chief for aid late yesterday afternoon
Investigation showed that the man
had not secured job here, but that
lie had bargained for some furniture
from second hand dealer.
Further investigation brought to
light the fact that the man had had
his wife's trunk removed from the
Frisco to the Rock Island depot, and
that he had checked the trunk, 1t was
thought. to Mangum. The trunk con.
tanned all the woman's clothing.
Mrs. Walker told Chief Phillips that
she and Walker were married at Bris-
tow, Okla, about one year ago. She
said her original home was in the
state of California, but that she had
friends in Bristow, who would she
thought care for her until her child is
born-she will become a mother in a
month or six weeks.
Chief Phillips has notified the police
chiefs of all nearby towns TO keep 9
sharp lookout for the alleged wife de
serter.

SECOND STATEMENT
ON SCHOOL BONDS
Is ISSUED BY BOARD

! ing systems have been re-adjusted, a
yentilating system has been placed in
the south and the west schools, new
closet buildings have been erected and
modern system of closets installed,
besides grading the grounds and
placing walls and walks about the
buildings. More than ten thousand
dollars have thus been spent and yet
they are not what modern school
buildings should be. These are things
to be considered in making comparl-
sons.
poor business policy to put money
into a cheap building that would not
meet the needs of the schools. When
the education Of your children is at
stake it is not so much matter OF
dollars and cents Though your money
should always be spent judiciously
and economically as the culture and
life of your children. The true value
of an education cannot be estimated in
dollar and cents. Your children pass
this way only one time and what they
fail to get in passing can never be
returned to them. We are interested
only a servants of the people and
friends of all the children.
This question has been given con
scientious consideration and we be-
lieve the highest interest of the
schools in this city will be served by
voting in favor Of this bond issue.
Respectfully,
BOARD OF EDUCATION,

DUTY SEEMS PLAIN
Why Progressives Should Turn
to Democratic Party.
Ideals for Which the Followers Of The
odore Roosevelt Have Stood Find
Their Best disqualification
In Woodrow Wilson.

Everybody is discussing the possible
return of the Progressives to the Re-
publican party. Nearly everybody
seems to think this would be the log
ical place for the Progressives to go.
Even some of the Progressives them
selves have discussed only possible
return to the Republican party.
That Is not unnaturally the first
thought, since the Progressive party.
il it did not actually originate, GER
tainly gained national dimensions as
q protest against the methods and
leadership which dominated the Re-
publican national convention of 1912.
The methods have been changed, at
least in form. The offensive leader
ships have been to some extent elimt-
mated. Hence the thought OF going
back, as an alternative to going on.
presents itself.
But is it not possible that some OF
the Progressives will go somewhere
else? What Is the matter with the
Democratic party, or rather with the
brand of Democracy of which Presi-
dent Wilson Is the exponent?
Might not that be more to the liking
Of the Progressives than the brand
of craftsmanship for which Penrose,
Barnes, Cannon ct al. stand in the
Progressive and the public mind!
Surely the atmosphere would be more
congenial in the Wilson environment
than the atmosphere In which the old
standpat crowd lives, moves and has
its being.
There is the situation which at least
suggests a possibility OF getting to-
gether of real Progressives all over
the country. Consideration OF these
facts and Of this situation shows why
1t is at least possible that many Pro-
gressive voters, instead of just drift
ing back into the Republican party,
will go on with Woodrow Wilson.

Prosperity to Aid Democrats.

Judge Martin J. Wade of Iowa City,
Democratic national committeeman
for Iowa, is not at all discouraged by
the result of the election In his state
or in the nation.
"Depressions in business are not po-
litical," said Judge Wade, at the Will
lard. "They come when least expect
ed and depart in the same way. We
have had a slowing up in business in
many sections Of the country. but
there Is just as sure to be a reaction
as there Is always a reaction in ma
ture. The legislation enacted by a
Democratic congress in pursuance OF
the promises Of the Baltimore con-
vention, WILL, I am confident, bring
prosperity, and when 1t comes there
will follow, as matter Of course, the
just appraisal of the Democratic party.
II cannot see where the Republicans
can take great comfort from the cleo
lions. It is perfectly. true the Demo
cratic majority was cut down in the
house, but the Democrats still are in
control, and we have increased our
majority In the senate. The over
whelming majority in the present
house is unwieldy. The Democrats In
the next congress will be able to carry
out their program, and when it is
finished we shall be in position to go
before the people and ask for indorse-
ment, confident that 1t will be given"
