the German minister of finances ex-
elusive statement to /the United Press,
reviewing the condition of Germany's 3
finance, and declaring that she was pre-
pared to wage the war with silver bull

throughout the English newspapers.
The comment os the London Daily
News on it is typ'cal of the impress
sion prevailing. The newspaper says:
THE American phrase big talk most
aptly fits this interview. 1t has the
defect that it Is all bluh. Its extrava-
gance defeats itself Those home loans,
about which the finance minister boasts.

WHY THIS ADVICE?
Topekan Says Experts Advise Ship
ping Animals Contrary to Law.

That the department of veterinary
medicine, of the State Agricultural
college, advises actions which are d.
rectly in violation OF state laws.
framed to prevent the spread OF con-
tagious diseases among animals IL In
dicated in a letter received by To-
peka man today.
A few days ago the Topekan wrote
to F. s. Schoenleber, state vetertn-
arian, Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, Manhattan, informing the KAN
haitian expert that he had lost more
than fifty hogs out of . herd OF
seventy in two weeks from a disease
which two veterinarians were unable
to identity AutOpsies had been per-
formed on some OF the dead animals
and the only positive conclusions the
veterinarians arrived at was that the
disease was not hog cholera.
In writing to the state veterinarian
the owner of the diseased herd SAID
that he had no expectation OF receiv-
ing any benefit for himself. as in ali
probability all his hogs would be dead
before any measures could De TAKEN.
but suggested the value Of a prompt
Investigation On the part of the col
lege authorities as being OF possible
benefit to other stock rafsers or the
state
The letter in reply was not written
by Professor Schoenleber. but by Pro-
Urinary department of the college, to
whom evidently the letter had been
referred. 1t read az follows:
In reply to your letter of recent
date would suggest that you ship one
or two of your hogs, that are In an adj
vanced stage Of the disease. to DIR. L.
W. Goss of the college and at the
same time writing him, describing the
symptoms that you have observed.
The hogs should be shipped by ex-
press, prepaid to DIR. L. w. Goss and
he will be glad to conduct q post
mortem and report his findings to
you
The hogs have not been shipped.
Had they been. both the shipper and
the express company would have been
liable to a fine of from 800 to IS, 00O
for each animal shipped. Two express
companies were asked whether they
would accept the animals for ship
ment. and declined most emphaficAlly.
Had the animals been shipped a
advised, the probabilities Of spreading
the disease, whatever IT IL, would have
been great. ~ most pedfgreed animals
uoedf or stock purposes are shipped by
express, and this disease, which vet
erinarians do not understand, prob
ably would have been carried to some
Of the best herds in the state.

Girl ON J|TNEYS
Young Woman ID Driving for
Wells Firm Here.
War Is Growing Warmer To-
day-Cancel City Licenses.

Topeka has a lady jitney driver. A
pretty young girl is driving a five
passenger touring car for the Wells
Jitney Bus&service. A man who was
passenger in her car this morning
asked her name. MARY Smith, she
replied coyly. And she is doing a
rushing business and making some of
the male jitney drivers look green
with envy.
Twenty licenses for Topeka tftneys
which were issued to Raymond Wells
were cancelled this morning by the
city officials. First blood in the To-
peka jitney war between Wells and
the Topeka Jftney company.
The licenses were purchased Nom
day by q check signed by L. M. CrAw-
was at the time a partner OF Craw-
FORD in the jitney service When this
partnership was dissolved and the two
Independent companies were started,
Crawford demanded the licenses. The
city commission decided that as they
were issued in the name of Wells. he
was the rfghtful owner. Today City
Attorney Ralston declared that the IL
censes were cancelled.
Wells went up to the city hall this
afternoon to look into the matter. In
order to keep his buses running over
Sunday without interference from the
officers, he purchased several more Ii
censeS.
The jitney war is.growing warm. To-
day Wells had q dozen cars in opera
ton. doing special work. His head
quarters are still at the Throop hotel.
Three six passenger machines were
added today.
If competition becomes keen be-
| tween the two opposing forces a cut
in prices of special calls has been
limited at.
Wells has new cooperative plan
whereby any auto owner can enter his
| car for any length Of time desirable
and Wells will pay the license.
Il am going to buy 80 new Ford
touring cars within few days." he
said today.
