TOO MILD; TOO LATE"
Berlin Thinks Note Weak Because 1t
Made No Threat.

Berlin, Nov. S.-''Too mild and too
late" was the general tenor of cur
rent criticism today of the American
note to England concerning British
interference with American trade at
sea.
From a legal standpoint, it was con-
coded that President Wilson made out
an unassailable case. 1t was not with
his arguments that fault was found
but with the fact that he did not back
them up, as Germans evidently think
he ought to have done, with some sort
of threat, yelled at least.
His expressions to Germany, it was
pointed out, were exceptionally severe
and one of the messages he sent to
Berlin was declared to have amount
ed, in everything but form, to an ulti-
matum. With England it was assert
ed that he merely argues, giving no
intimation of the course he will adopt
in case he is disregarded or meets
with a British refusal to comply with
his wishes.

MILLIONS FOR POODLES
American Women Spend Fabulous

New Orleans, Nov. 8.-''The most
astounding extravaganza of the women
of America is that we spend 100000

Mrs. r. l.. Parker told this to the
delegates to the annual meeting of
the women's international missionary
union in describing how American
women make the money fly. She con-
tinued:
I'VE spend more for hats yearly
than it takes to support the army and
navy and several other federal de-
partments. We also spend $1O7, 100000
for soft and cooling drinks and $17S,-
100000 for candy. 1t is time to call
a halt and to return to the sane ways
of our mothers"

Nearly 5000 Regularly En-

CITIES WANT MACHINE GUNS
Merry War Over Location of

Kansas City, Hutchinson, Law

Kansas has about 1850 men, who
regularly engage in military drill, ac-
cOrding to figures just compiled at the
office of the adjutant general of the
Kansas National guard 1t is pointed
out that these figures do not include
the members of the regular army, sta
toned at posts in the state. It is esti
mated also that there are in Kansas
$4,000 men who have had military
training who would be available for
service in the event the United States
should become involved in any war.
OF the 2,S50 men, 1925 are MEM
bers of the K. n. G., which consists
of two regiments of infantry bat
terry of artillery stationed at Topeka,
machine gun corps at Newton and
signal company at lola. The remain
der are members of the cadet reg1-
ment at the Kansas State Agricultural
college in Manhattan.
While not members of the Kansas
National Guard members of the
corps have regular military drill I'M
der the supervision of the war de-
partment and a regular army officer
is detailed to the institution. One of
the companies of the guard-Com-
pany M of the First regiment-while
not in any way under the supervision
of the University of Kansas authOri-
ties, is made up of students of that
institution.
Also number of Kansas cities are
conducting a campaign for the loca-
ton, in their cities, of one of the new
federal machine gun platoons, two be-
ing allotted to the state and one al
ready having been established in New

About $4,000 worth of equipment
is issued to each platoon. Kansas
