London, July 9.-The official an
nouncement made by David Lloyd
George, the minister of munitions, on
July Z, regarding Viscount Haldane.
ex-iord chancellor and secretary of
war and the question of the supply of
munitions, has started a political
sensation in the United Kingdom of
the first order, and it is being made
the most of by the Northcliffe press
to prevent what is declared to be in
trigue to get Lord Haldane back into
the cabinet.
Asquith Paves Way.
Premier Asquith's remarkable trib-
ute to Viscount Haldane, which was
read at a meeting of the National Lib
eral club July 5, was regarded as
paving the way for some attempt of
this kind.
Sir Henry Dalziel, liberal member
for Kirkcaldy Burgs, has given notice
that he will ask Premier Asquith in
the house on Monday whether Lord
Haldane's disclosures of the proceed
ings of a confidential committee of
the cabinet were made with the pre-
mier's authority, and it seems as
though tie government will hardly be
able to avoid public discussion.
Lord Haldane has kept a complete
silence regarding the controversy.
The Northcliffe press publishes an
appeal in which it urges it's readers to
sign and send to the government notes
protesting against the readmission of
Viscount Haldane to the cabinet.
For Peoples Committee.
The Daily Mail this morning start
ed a campaign in favor of forming
what it calls peoples committee"
composed of business men of high
reputation who never have been con-
nected with parliament or party jour-
nalism, with powers to call for evil
dence and report to parliament as to
what servants of the state, by whose
negligence or incom petence the fate
of the empire has been endangered,
are still holding office under the gov
ernment.
The Daily Chronicle says:
''In some quarters it is rumored that
if Major General Stanley Won Donop,
master general of ordnance, does not
resign, David Lloyd-George will. and
that if Major General Won Donop
does, Field Marshal Lord Kitchener
also will co.

Area of 322,45O Square Miles
Taken by England.

Pretoria, July General Botha,
commander of the forces of the
Union of South Africa, has accepted
the surrender of all German military
forces in German Southwest Africa
The Germans surrendered uncon-
ditionally following the issuance of
Botha's ultimatum, which expired at

exception of the necessary army of oc-
cupation, the citizen army will be
brought home as quickly as possible.

command of British operations against
Germany and headed an invasion of
that territory late in February. His
operations were reported to be uni
formly successful.
The forces under his command cap
tured Olymbingue on May 4. Two
days later it was announced he had
occupied the important railway juno
ton of karibib and other stations.
after a march of thirty-five miles
over a waterless waste.
The road to Windhoek, capital of
the German territory, was opened by
the occupation of Keetmanship.
Windhoek was taken May 1 3 without
opposition on the part of the German
forces. Martial law was proclaimed
throughout the conquered territory.
Reports from London recently have
stated that the surrender of the Ger
man forces was expected soon. Brit
1sh military experts have contended
that General BOtha has conducted a
mastery campaign.

west coast of Africa, extending from
the Orange river to the Cunen river,

given in the latest reports as 1880.

RAIN IN WHEAT BELT.
Showers Were General Over Kansas
Thursday Night.

Rain was general in Kansas Thurs
day night and early this morning the
heaviest precipitation being in the
wheat belt. Topeka received but L 4
of an inch this morning. More than
inch fell at Phillipsburg, McPher-
son, Macksville, and Dodge City. Hays
received an even inch. The rain was
not sufficiently heavy along the Kaw
watershed to cause any trouble.
Here are a few special reports on
rainfall: Abilene, 80 of an inch;
Blue Rapids. 20; Clay Center, 80:
Wamego, IA.
The forecast calls for unsettled
weather with showers toEight and
probably in the east portion of the
state Saturday. No particular change
in temperature is anticipated.
The temperature was again below
normal at Topeka this morning, the
minimum at six o'clock being GA de-
grees.
The highest temperature recorded
thus far this season was 81 degrees.
This is the only season in the history
low maximum temperature this late
in the season. The farmers are com
planning of the cool weather; it isn't
conducive to rapid growth Of corn.
The rain at Topeka this morning
fell between 1888 and 5:11 o'clock. At
seven o'clock rain was falling at Kan
sas City and St. Joe. Kansas was gen.
orally cloudy at that hour.

SUES FOR $4,000
Plaintive Brings Action Against
Topeka Jitney Company.
Alleges He Was Knocked Down
and Dragged.

The first suit for damages growing
out of the operation of jitneys in
Topeka was filed in the Shawnee
county district court today. r. A
NJ Smith, father-in-law of J. w.
Rickenbacher, is the plaintiff in the
case and he asks $40. 900 from the To-
peka Jitney company for injuries he
alleges he sustained June 10 in front
of the Topeka postoffice when he was
knocked down and dragged about fifty
feet by jitney, the driver of which
he claims was "chinning' with some
young lady passengers in the rear seat
and not paying attention to the safe
driving of his car.
Mote and Rooney are attorneys for
Smith, who is 72 years old and who
alleges painful, serious and permanent
injuries due to the negligence of the
jitney company. He asks fer $4,000
for actual injuries and $4,000 puma
tive damages. The petition alleges
that after Smith was knocked down
and dragged across the pavement, the
jitney driver heartlessiy drove away
without stopping, leaving Smith help-
less in the street

Flood Convention VIII Be Put
Up to Legislature.
HUGE SUM WILL Be NEEDED
Appropriation of From 12 to Is
Million Dollars.
Many Prominent, Persons At
tend TOday's Convention.

Viewing reports of a thirty million
dollar loss from recent floods in Kan
sas, nearly two hundred government,
state county and city officials, repre-
scrtatives of railroads and state col
!eges, are today working out a solu
fion of the states flood problem. AS
a result of the flood congress called
by Governor Capper, an effort will be
made to work out a practical program
for relief from high water and the
next state legislature may be asked to
provide for the expenditure of twelve
or fifteen million dollars to improve
conditions in the big watersheds.
Every section of the states flood
districts is represented at the meeting
today in the supreme court chambers
and the building of dikes, reservoirs,
Strengthening channels and other
methods of flood relief are being con-
sidered. A score of prominent railway
officials are in attendance. Congress
men, state officers, federal officials
and county and city officials vitally
interested in the impounding of flood
waters are keenly interested in the
program for relief.
Governor Presiding.
Governor Capper himself is presid-
in6 at the meeting and today urged
demanding state and federal relief
from Hood conditions.
Il think it is safe to say that Kan
sas this year has suffered a loss of
thirty million dollars as a result of
high power said the governor. 1.-The
money lost in this one year if ex-
pended for flood prevention, is suffi-
cient, I believe, to prevent like disas-
ters for all time to come. 1t is folly
for us to allow this loss and this dam
age to continue.
An Engineering Problem.
But as I have already said, it is
an engineering problem calling for
practical expert advice and direction.
My hope is that we will be able in this
conference with the aid of the gentle
men sent to us by the federal govern
ment and by the great railway systems

Liquor Interests Are Asking q
Kansas Question.
Former Governor Hodges An
swers Query i'm Speech.
NEED OF FEDERAL ENACTMENT
Prohibition Here Demonstrates
Necessities of Law.
ROusing Talk Before Anti Sa-
loon League Convention.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 9.-Kansans
spend $34, 100000 less than the same
number of New Workers, Missourians
and residents of Chicago for liquor,
according to George H. Hodges, for
lner governor of Kansas. Using the
figures of liquor expense, the former
governor declared that prohibition in
Kansas demonstrated the need of fed
eral enactment to block the liquor
traffic.
Hodges speech before the Anti
Saloon League was reiteration of his
stand of two years ago for national
prohibition. 1t was Governor Hodges
Columbus, Ohio, speech in 1913 which
developed the ]. B. Billiard candidacy
and ultimately resulted in Hodges de-
feat for reelection. But the Kansas
mans stand against liquor remained
unchanged and he told delegates to
the convention of results under a pro-
hibitory liquor law in the Sunflower
state.
Nothing the Matter.
""The liquor interests are asking
what ails Kansas. Nothing ails Kan
Sas.
mot even the statements made by
the dispensers of booze in other states
hurt Kansas. 1t is truly marvellous
that we who live in this dry state have
not experienced the blighting results
of prohibition so beautifully pictured
by those who are lined up on the side
of the brewers and distillers. 1t is
passing strange that the men who
fight prohibition in Kansas, live in
other states
I'm 1913, we experienced the worst
drouth ever known. Crops burned up,
feed was shipped into the state and
cattle was shipped out of the state.
Personal property did decrease for the
reason given, but we increased our
population sixteen and one-half thou
sand that dry year. We had $265,-
100000 worth of stock that we man
a n a along
The farm products totailed S241, ,500,-
900 that season of blighting drouth
and on September first of the same
year our banks had $207, 10000 in
cash in their vaults Poor old droIth
on paper.
"If the 100000 Kansans drank
the same amount of liquor that the
same number of men in other states
do, we would spend $34, 100000 more
for liquor than we do. Maybe that
is one of the reasons why we SO read
lily responded to the pitiful appeal of
the starving Belgians, and sent them
SO, 900 barrels of our best flour.
1.-The bonded Indebtedness of this
woe-begone state is only 1888, 1000, less
than 10 cents each for every person
in Kansas; and over half of this
amount is already collected and in the
state treasury awaiting the maturity
of the bond. The people are groaning
under our terrific state tax which in
1912 (the statistics of which L have
in hand) amounted to less than .036
cents an acre on an average, not in
Guiding improvements"

TROOPS TO OTHER ZONES.
German Surrender Closes One of Most
Important CaEapaigns of War.

London, July 9, 1911 p. m.-'rhe
surrender of the entire German force
in German Southwest Africa closes
one of the most important campaigns
of the great war and releases for serv-
ice elsewhere the South African con-
tingent.
The campaign against the impor-
tant German African colony was con-
sidered so vital that all the resources
of the South African Union were used
in it, but it's conclusion means that
despite the fact that German East AZ
rica remains unconquered, contingents
will be dispatched to France, while ad-
ditional forces will continue the cam
pagn in East Africa.
The final disposition of German
Southwest Africa has not been Off
cially announced, but it generally is
believed here that it will become n
part of the South African Union.

BOARD CUTS GRAIN RATE
Commerce Commission Compels B. &
o. to Readjust Tariffs.

Washington, July 9.-The Baltimore
&, Ohio Southwestern and other rail-
roads were ordered today by the in
terState commerce commission to
cease charging before Sept 1 higher
interstate rates on grain and grain
products from interior Missouri points
to ST. Louis than the intrastate rates
contemporaneously charged for the
same service.
Complaint had been made by the
Merchants Exchange of St Louis and
club.
The commission held that an un-
lawful and undue prejudice has been
given to St Louis and an unjust dis
elimination effected against interior
Missouri, southern Illinois points and
East st. Louis. The record in the
case the commission said, however,
was not sufficient to justify a deter
nination of the reaSonableness of the
present interstate rates from interior
Missouri points TO st. Louis.

has been made by the AuStrO-H Hum

ed in the NieuS Wiener Tageblatt,

warfare.
As a rigid censorship is exercised

The result was an apology and a
sharp reprimand for the official
censor.
