Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-11-06


The season up here in Central
Michigan was very much like that we
had in Kansas. Heavy frost came a.
bout three weeks ago and nipped
lot of immature corn. Too ''sofl", to
keep in the crib, it is fit only for
enSilage. Farmers are still cutting
corn with binders and filling silos, al
though the blades are dry and brown
and it is now the first of November.
A great many beans are grown here
but the cropis badly damaged by wet
weather. Not much wheat has been
sown. 1t was sown late and is quite
small. Near the towns there are a
good many small fields of sugar beets.
They are shipped to Lansing, (Mich..)
and appear to be profitable crop.
One of the sad sights is the dead APP
pie orchard. The San Jose scale is
held responsible for the loss.
Speaking of Lansing, the dome of
trio lights but in nv minds eve the
Wa-Keeney tank is beginning to look
mighty good to me and expect to
see it by the time this gets into print.
A sign in Grand Ledge, Mich, says
that Mr.. Stark sells clothing. One
might suppose that stark people
would have use for their duds.
And speaking of humanity. we all
want to live as long as we can and
have no trouble in finding good rea-
sons for the desire. To say the least
of it, we all want to live, because we
want to live. My father is considered
an old man, though not extremely
old, and still cIings to life tenacious
ly. He says he has two reasons for it,
He wants to live long enough TO be
able to help my mother celebrate
their 6Oth wedding anniversary, and
he wants TO see the end of the
murderous European war 1 hope
that his wishes may be gratified but
it is doubtful-and that explains why
am visiting the old folks at this
time.

SCOTTISH CLERGY
ORGANIZE CORPS
HOME DEFENSE

GLASGOW, March 16.-Twenty-fiv
militant parsons of the Church of
Scotland, the United Free church and
the Congregational church have or
ganized Ministers Corps for Home
Defense. A clergyman, who is an old
volunteer, is engaged as drill instruc-
tor. The members are thoroughly in
earnest and filled with enthusiasm.
In the Anglican church, most of the
bishops have refused to sanction the
enlistment of parsons in the fighting
army. The Archbishop of Canterbury,
the primate of England, believes the
clergymen should remain non-combat-
ants. Yet there are a number seryin g
at the front and in the training
camps.

SPAIN DEMANDS

PREMIER DATO ISSUES STATE
MENT THAT UNCLE SAM MUST

PUT END TO ANARCHY AND
CRIME THERE.
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, March 16-That anarchy
exists in Mexico, and crimes being
committed there make intervention by
the United States government almost
inevitable" is the startling statement
accredited to Premier Dato in des-
patch from Madrid to La Petit Journal
this morning.
The correspondent, who asserts that
feeling has been aroused through
Spain by recent atrocities practice1
upon Spaniards resident in Mexico,
intimates strong political influences
are behind Premier Dato in his posi-
tion regarding Mexican affairs, The
premier, it is alleged, has threatened
to summarily discontinuanee diplo-
matte relations with Mexico, unless
conditions at Mexico City speedily
D0COulo uOIuldl.
Recent differences between General
Carranza and the Spanish government
arising out of the expulsion of the
Spanish minister, Senor Caro-, it had
been reported previously had been
composed, but a renewal of alleged
atrocities on Spaniards in Mexico, cou
pied with the apparent inability Of
any faction to maintain supremacy,
is held responsible for Premier Dato
position.
Representations regarding condi-
in the republic have been made to the
Washington government, it is said, bat
ct Madrid little can be learned re-
garding assurance received through
he medium of the United States.

WINTERS BLASTS

Americus was not prepared for the
blizzard that came this moraing so
Unexpectedly, following as it did a
period of balmy, spring weather which
had started the trees budding, the
gardens growing, and developing to
an abnormal degree the spring hat,
the silk hosiery of summer and the
ever interesting peek-a-boo waist. A
windstorm of unusual intensity pre-
vailed during the early hours of
morning, rocking houses and leveling
fences in its path, but resulting in no
great property damage, so far as can
be learned today. Gardeners are fear
full of the destruction of truck patches
tonight, should the winds cease blow
ing, as the weather is very near the
freezing point and with the promise
of being very cold tonight.

GERMANS To CHANGE
ENGLISH NAMES IN
CONNECTION SPORTS

BERLIN, March 16.-The process of
clearing out all foreign elements from
the German language has now been
extended to the vocabulary of sports.
A long list of words, mainly English,
has been made up by the committee in
charge of this reform, and Germans
from all parts of the country have
been invited to make suggestions for
German equivalents for these words.
Some alterations have been already
accepted, among them being: For Ste
plechase, "Hindernisreanen" for
start, "Auffahren"; for Handicap,
"Augle!chrennsn"; for Maiden Race,
"Rennen fur sieglose Pferde."
Such words as Cricket and Golf, it
is admitted, pre- ent difficulties, as do
the terms connected with these two
games The trouble is to find ex-
pressions Without too much length
that will say accurately what is
meant. B 1t the greatest difficulty OF
all is with the word sport itself

pressed the hope that the new dread

tleship afloat and was successfully
launched here this morning before the
largest crowd that has ever gathere1
at the shipyards in Hampton Roads.
Commander Thierichens, Of the Ger
man cruiser Prinz Eitel Frederick
was among the honored guests that
saw the huge man-o'-war glide from
her moorings into the waters OF

the Pennsylvania was launched.
The Pennsylvania will be ready for
her initial run ten months from now.
The finishing touches, and her entire
equipment are yet to be added.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 16.-The f.

the state bond sale, has not recovered
from the shock it received yesterday
afternoon when Asa G. Gambler, of At
lanta, calmly bid in the entire issue
of $3,525,OO0 Georgia refunding bonds
offered by the state. Mr.. Gambler an
nounced that he was making the pur-
chase personally, and none OF his cor
porations or companies, or associates,
had any interest in the purchase. He
put up check for $7O,50O to bind the
bargain.
Mr. Gambler bid $4,000 premium on
the issue of IA per cent. bonds,
even better than the state had reason
to expect. The bonds at that figure
will bring the state a net income OF
Alb per cent and the state, by re-
funding the bonds from four and one
half per cent, will save a considera-
BILE sum beside the big premium paid.
Governor John NJ Slaton, who had
urged that Georgia people invest in
the bonds, was highly pleased He
was congratulated by the crowd Of
eastern fnanciers who thronged his
Office and whose bids had been too
low Mr. Candlers bid is an unusual
expression of confidence in the states
soundness. 1t is aid to be the most
advantageous bond sale made by any

GERMANS RESUME
OFFENSIVE NEAR
OSSEWETZ

LONDON, March 16.-Interest in the
European war today is scattered over
a greater area, perhaps, than since the
early stages of the conflict, events of
interest transpiring on both the east
ern and western fronts, with the at
tack on the Dardanelles continuing
and a close veil of secrecy drawn
about the entire region controlled by
Servian troops.
Along the East Prussian frontier.
the German offensive apparently is
concentrating in the attack upon the
Russian fortified position at Ossewetz.
This fortress stands directly in the
past of Won Hindenburg' troops who
are descending from the northwest
in the direction of Warsaw, and a
most sanguinary battle promises to
be fought in that vicinity. Heavy
German siege howitzers have been
carried over the Russian Polish from
tier and are in position before Osso-
wetz, throwing large eshells into the
Russian works throughout last night
and today. These heavy guns have
been brought closer the Russian
stronghold than heretofore, and did
much damage during the terrific bonn
bardment, though German troops have
thus far failed odislodge the Rus
SLAMS from their position.
In the Carpathians spirited fighting
continues, but one needs to secure
more information than is available to
the Associated Press correspondent
before an accurate account of events
transpiring there can be made. Vienna
dispatches assert Austrian troop
movements continue to meet success,
while exactly the opposite statement
come from Petrograd, where the as
sertion is Made that Russian forces
continue to drive the Austrians west

cesse have been achieved by soldiers
of the dual monarchy.
The usual story of attacks and coun-
ter tacks with neither army achiev

Galcia, where large Austrian army
is attempting to regain ground lost
to the Russians early in the war. The
