PLACES BLAME ON U. S.
German Miiitarist Says Washington
Has No Right to Protest.

Amsterdam, May 19.-Captain Per-
sius writing in the Berlin Tageblatt
regarding the United States note to
Germany, says:
''If in spite of the German admiral
tvs warning against entering the war
zone American citizens entrusted
themselves to the Lusitania, the blame
falls upon themselves and their gov
eminent. Can America guarantee
that neither guns nor ANN unition
were on board, and, further, that a
submarine when emerging, was not
exposed to being rammed by the Lusi-
tania?
eff the answer is in the negative, as
undoubtedly it must be, the American
government, after calm deliberation,
will understand it has no right to
raise a protest against the torpedoing
of the LuSitania.
1.-THE German government, we sus-
pect, will have the firmneSS to retract
no step and should in this case be
certain of the approval of the entire
people. We hope the lesson will be
learned from the sinking of the Lusi-
tania that no neutral should entrust
itself to British ships or give them
goods for transport"

CHANGES WILL Be few
All Teachers in State Schools Prob.
ably Will Stay.

"There will be fewer changes on
the faculties of Kansas schools this
year than in any year in the past five
years. declared Edward T. Hackney,
chairman of the state board of educa
tional administration, today. There
will be practically no changes upon
the staffs of the various institutions
and we expect to start into the coming
school year with their work running
more smoothly than ever in their his
tory. We feel that the absence of res
ignations from the starfs OF our
schools is testimonial to the har-
monious relationships existing between
members of our board and the facul-
ties of the schools"
The state board of educational ad-
ministration which Hackney heads
was created by the legislature of 1913.
1t commenced it's duties amid a storm
of discussion to the relative eff
cheney of institutions operated sepa
rateIy, under boards of regents, and
where several were consolidated under
a single board of managers devoting
their entire time to the work. One re-
suit of the agitation of that time was
the resignation of numerous members
of faculties of state schools. since
then a number of salaries have been
increased and concessions made to
promote the harmony of things in the
various schools. This year the only
resignation was that of a man who
had already been away under leave
of absence trying out a new position
which he has decided to keep.

If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Bacl1ache is n sign you have been
eating too much meat. which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with hackache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a We'll known
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and log
gy. When your kidneys get sluggish
and clog you must relieve them. like
you relieve your bowels: removing all
the body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells;
your stomach scurs. tongue coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full OF sediment, channels
often get sore, water sca1ds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good. reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your phar-
macist about fou1' ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with Ethia, and has been used
for generations to clean and sIIm ulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine SO it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is u life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive. cannot

WHEN IS MEMORIAL DAY
Promoters of Amusements Would Like
to Know.

S. NJ. Brewster, attorney general,
today declined to furnish an opinion
to W. E. Atchison, Shawnee county
attorney, on the subject of the legal
observance of Memorial day which
this year falls upon May 81, Monday.
Similar answers have been sent out to
other inquirers in other parts of the
state.
The transfer by Governor Capper of
the usual Memorial day observance
from May 80, which is Sunday, to the
following day, has caused a lot of I'M
easiness in the minds of promoters of
ball games and other events on ac-
count of uncertainty as to the appll-
cation of the state law requiring it's
observance.
Out of regard for the old soldier
population the Kansas legislature
some years ago passed a law prohibit
ing the holding of ball games, horse
or other races on May 80, commonly
called Memorial day. The Shawnee
county attorney was approached by a
promoter who wanted to hold mo-
torcycle race on Monday, May 81, or,
if the state law applied to that day,
he was willing to hold it on May 80,
provided the law was not to apply
there too.
The attorney general advised Atchi-
son that since there was no decision
or precedent regarding the application
OF this law he could give him no opin-
ion of value. He suggested that the
promoter be permitted to stage his
performance on either day he chose,
leaving it to the old soldiers to see if
they cared to apply the law.

sufficient nourishment is starvation.
When a mans head aches it is be-
cause the tissues of the brain do not
receive sufficient nourishment from the
blood, Or receive impure and unhealthy
nourishinent. When a man gets nerv-
GUS and sleepless, it means that the
blood is not properly nourishing the
nerves. When his skin breaks out
with blotches and pimples and erup-
lions, it means that the skin is being
fed upon the impurities of the blood.
Almost every known disease is primarily
due to improper nourishment through
the blood, which is the life-stream.

receivers of the kansas Natural Gas
company for a special order fixing a
price of Is cents a thousand for the

B0SH, THEY SAY
England Says There's Nothing
to War Baby Talk.
Admit That Young Girls Must
Be Watched.

London, May 19.-The war baby
evil has been greatly exaggerated. An
investi cation has been conducted in a
small provincial city, where 10000
tors found that the present prospective
increase over the previous records of
illegitimate births was scarcely of any
account.
Most of the assertions regardin e
war babies have apparently no basis
of real data, but nave grown on hear
say, like most rumors in war time
Each part of the country thinks the
war babies are to be found in some
other part. Nevertheless, there are
many authentic instances of soldiers
with unmarried wives, W hich has al
ways been a feature of British army
life, since regulations generally oppose
marriage of enlisted men. This his
toric condition was suddenly brought
to public notice by the Inequalities of
the war separation allowance, which
relieves only the legal wives of SOL
diers.
To test the rumor that the presence
of soldiers in billets and camps has
been responsible for an outbreak Of
immortality, correspondent went to
a military center where, according to
repor,, 1000 war babies were expect
ed. 200 being on the list of a single
nurse.
The writer interviewed the mayor
of the city, who secuted the repoi [.
The police inspector said he knew per
sonally of only four cases. A popular
Methodist minister and his wife had
never heard of a single instance The
adjutant of the Salvation Army said
only seven cases had passed through
it's hands. and the vicar of the largest
parish had heard indirectly of not
more than a dozen. Neither the
health officer, the workhouse doctor,
the dispensary doctor, nor a number
of doctors giving free treatment to the
poorer classes under the national in
surance act had come in contact with
q single maternity case n which the
father was soldier. One of the
doctors said he had himself questioned
his colleagues. including the man said
to have 200 cases on his list, and only
one knew of a single war baby.

Washington, May 19.-Responsibil-

Mr.. Walsh asked if there were no
state officers to protect workers

he.

Influence of the subbosses of the
Colorado company was important in
politics, Geiddis said.

Geiddis thought the company prof

directors of the company, he said told
him in Denver a few years ago:
I'VE might as well confess it; we
have not given the miners anything

Twenty-Five years ago, Geiddis
said, four-fifths of the men in the
Colorado mines spoke the English
language. Not long before the strike,
however, he asserted THE ratio was
exactly reversed, and only onefifth
were English speaking.

PASTORS DO THE WORK

pastor of the Emmanuel church was

A week ago the Congregational

''That is easily remedied- You get
the shingles and We'll do the work, -
the cIergymen said in chorus. Rev.
Tucker got the shingles and dared the
ministers to keep their promise.
