Kansas Agricultural Exhibits
Take Highest HOn0rs at the
Panama-PaCifiC Show.
WHEAT FINEST IN THE WORLD
State Also Received 1876 Awards with
200 Entries in the Big Poultry
Show-can't Save Building.

Kansaa was awarded the grand prize
for the finest agricultural collection
and the largest number Of prizes,
where competing, of any state, it was
announced at the close of the exposi-
ton in San Francisco. Kansas entries
won 104 medals on agricultural prod
ucts, and one entry Of Kansas hard
wheat was adjudged the finest speci-
men in the world
The poultry exhibits from Kansas
also swept the field. OF two hundred
entries 136 won prizes, seventy-fve of
which were frsts and seconds.
1t has been found impossible to save
the Kansas building for the state. A
combination of wreckers makes it
impossible to realize anything on the
building, and the lowest estimate of
the cost to rebuild it in Kansas is
$4,000. The furniture, however, was
sold at good prices.
The Kansas commission will consid-
er the presentation of the agricultural
pavilion and exhibit to some city or
civic or state organization in Kansas
which will agree to house and main
tain it properly.

NO GERMAN TERMS OF PEACE
Tells Reichstag That Proposal
Must Come From Allies.

Berlin, Dec. 10.-The imperial Ger
man chancellor, Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, yesterday refused to state pos
sibIe terms of peace, in reply to the
demand made by the German Social
lists. Instead he made it plain to a
great gathering in the Reichstag that
any peace proposals must come from
Germany's enemies.
For the German nation" said the
chancellor, this war has always re-
manned what it was at the beginning
"a war of defense for the German
nation and her future"
He indicated, too, that Germany
would not consider as one of the pos
sible terms of peace the surrender to
France of Alsace and Lorraine.
He met the French claims On Al
SAGE and Lorraine on the nationality
basis with the statement that 81 per
cent Of the inhabitants of Alsace speak
German And he tainted England by
inquiring what would happen if the
same nationality test were applied in
the British possessions of India and
Egypt.

PRESIDENT AS A PROPHET

Peace Will Be No Patched
Up Affair.

Columbus, O., Dec. 11.-President

in order that the United States may
be prepared to play more important
part in the worlds affairs, and bring
about justice after the present war.
The President spent eighteen hours
in Columbus, during every minute OF
which he was active. His reception
was enthusiastic and pleased him
greatly In addition to the chamber
of commerce speech, he delivered an
address tonight before the commits
sion of country and church life of the
Federal Council of the Churches Of
Christ Of America
In the chamber of commerce ad-
dress the President defended his

was President nobody should butt
in to alter the Mexicans' government

ST. LOUIS LANDS CONVENTION
Democratic National Committee Has
Selected the Missouri City-WilI
Meet on Wednesday, June II.

Washington, Dec. 8.-St. Louis won
the Democratic national convention
and in the winning of it Champ Clark
and Senator Stone of Missouri told
some interesting things about the sit
will begin June IA.
The Democratic national committee
got down to choosing the city late to-
day, after long hearing of the suf-
frage advocates and the anti-suffra-
gists. Chicago, Dallas and st. Louis
were in the race and each city had a
100000 check to present to land the
convention.
Champ Clark made the principal ar
gument for St Louis and his argument
was chiefly made up of eff we don't
get the convention, Missouri is very
doubtful and the Republicans may car
ry the state"
Speaker Clark said that Missouri
Democrats needed the convention. He
said the state was extremely doubt
full and the Democrats stood a good
chance OF losing, not only the eighteen
electoral votes, but several congress
men as well, unless they get help"
I'VE used to be sure Democratic, "
said the speaker. But our Democrats
began moving out to inhabit Oklahoma
and Texas and the Southwest, and
Republicans began to move in from
Iowa until Missouri became a battle
ground and the Democratic party is
going to have a fight on it's hands next
year"
Clark estimated that the enthusiasm
and education of national convention
would influence five thousand votes
and that number would save" Mis-
souri,. He also said that he hoped
some day they would have no more
conventions, but settle the nomination
by direct primary; and that if con
ventions were held, only delegates, al
ternates and newspaper men would be
allowed to attend so the convention
could work without disturbance.
Tonight the national committee
adopted resolutions calling for the re-
nomination and reelection of Wood
row Wilson as "the trusted leader of
national Democracy"

STORM IN SENATE
British interference With Neu-
trail Shipping Causes Hot
Words by Members.
AMERICAN RIGHTS VIOLATED
Hoke Smith introduces Resolution to
Investigate Great Britain's Acts
Upon the High Seas.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE long-ex-
pected storm in congress over the ad-
ministration's conduct of the defense
of American rights on the seas broke
today when Senator Hoke Smith, Dem
ocrat, demanded an investigation of
Great Britain's interference with neu-
trail trade, and Senator Lodge, Repub-
Hcan, replied with a demand that any
investigation include the loss of
American lives.
To Senator Smiths resolution for
an investigation of trade interference,
Senator Lodge, who is the ranking
minority member of the foreign reIa-
tionS committee, offered an amend
ment for investigation of the law and
the facts in the submarine attacks on
the Lusitania, Falaba, Hesperian, Ara
bic, Gulf1ight and AncOna, and of the
plots and conspiracies against the
neutrality of the United States, tc
which President Wilson referred in
unmeasured terms in his address to
congress Tuesday. Both resolutions
were referred to the foreign relations
ever, had served to bring out the first
USDdIS Ol the SESSION OI SUBJECT W
which all minds had turned.
Senators on both sides of the cham
Der were drawn into the discussion,
which was precipitated by a vigorous
speech by Senator Smith in support
of his resolution.
Senator Works of California asked
Senator Lodge if his amendment was
comprehensive enough to include in
vestigatiOn of parts played by citizens
of the United States in sending am
munition on ships which had been at
tackled or destroyed. He was assured
that it was meant to include inquiry
into all angles of the general subject
of belligerent interference with ships.
Senator Hoke Smith, replying to
Senator Lodge, intimated that there
had been an effort made to bury all
objections to interference with Amer
lean shipping by sentimental protes-
tations of horror at losses of life" and
that some of these efforts, at least,
had been Influenced by profits from
the sale of ammunition.
Senator Walsh of Montana declared
that seizures of American copper had
ceased only because American citi-
zens had agreed to ship their copper
under rules laid down by the British
admiralty. He submitted a copy of
an agreement entered into by the
British admiralty and an American

America was treated yesterday to

from Berlin by wireless, in which it
