B. p. Bishop Conducts Service.

The service Sunday afternoon at the SheItring Arms was in charge of E. F. Bishop who gave a most helpful ad- dress from the subject, Divine Guid- ance. One of the greatest needs in this life, he began, is guidance, strong and helpful. What must we do in order to have this guidance? In all they ways acknowledge Him. If we are to be guided by God. we must give perfect obedience. Next we must trust God. Another way is knowledge of the doctrine. We may be sure that He Who Is guiding us knows all the way we take and that we are safe in His hands.

in these battles villages changed hands
several times. Three German attacks
on Przasnyez, where the conflict is
sharpest, are said to have been re-
pulsed. A Berlin dispatch says it il
reported there that further obstacles
have arisen to prevent an invasion of
Russia. The correspondent Of a Paris
newspaper estimated that the Ger
mans lost $4,000 men in the fighting
in the north.
In the Carpathians the series Of de-
tached battles continues with no sign
of a cessation.
The Russian war office announced
that the Austrian attacks at several
points were repulsed with enormous
losses for the attacking forces. 1t is
claimed that during the last month
more than $4,000 Austrians have been
captured. 1t was announced in Ber-
lin that a British transport had been
sunk off Beachy Head, England. The
location and time given make it prob
able, however. that the Berlin an
nouncement has reference to the sink
ing of British naval collier, which
was made known last night
A report from French sources is

minister to London, according to this

next fall it Is expected that they will
be worn by a large number of the To-

latest styles, in fact they have already
been seen here
The shoe men do not expect that
the cloth tops will be in vogue for any
great length Of time, however. By
next year it is possible that they will
be on the discard. The tendancy in
the next few months will be towards
snowy footwear.
The women will wear the cloth tops
until summer, and then oxfords Will
be worn. They will be in the nature
of strap and plain pumps with an

Republican members of the house

bills and refuse to allow more than
one new building for state schools.
governor. Republican members OF the
committee cut $836.35O from the
building items allowed by the senate
for the big schools.
The house committee agreed to al
low $125.OO0 for a new building at
the Hays normal But that was all.
Playing the game of politics to Off
set the action of the senate in allow
ing increased appropriations. the
house Republicans used the knife
with telling effect. They hewed close
to the recommendations of Auditor
Davis-who. it Is claimed, had not
visited the institutions on which he
used the knife. Today members of
the committee justified their action
in following the Davis recommends
lions with the statement that there is
a war in Europe and a business de-
preston demands retrenchments.
Democratic members of the house
ways and means committee left the
committee room when the Republi-
cans announced their plans. They
refused to be party to the whole
sale slaughter of the state schools and
declared they were not acting under
the administration whip. Their action
probably means an open fight on ed
ucational appropriations on the floor
of the house and further delay in
passing appropriation bills.
In a meeting last week. the house
ways and means committee virtually
agreed to recommend 100000 for q
new building at the Emporia State
Normal A new building for the state
university was also considered prob
able. A third building was for the
Hays normal.

tional building appropriations. wideni

committee finally consented to recon-
mend the bill.
Originally the bill was introduced
by F. L. Martin of Reno county. The
bill was sent to the economy and eff
ficiency committee of which the au-
thor of the bill is chairman. But that
committee refused to approve the
measure. Then an effort was made to
secure adoption Of a minority report.
That failed. Next the bill appeared
in the labor committee rooms. That
body promptly rejected the bill. Con-
tinuing their search for mot un-
friendly" committee-as Governor
Stubs might call 1.-THE administra-
ton made overtures to the judiciary
committee. That committee recon-
mended the BILL
Spots on the Moon.
Now there are spots on the moon.
The Republicans who opposed the bill
in the COMMITTEES are peeved. A num-
Der of other members on the sunny
side Of the house are sdispleased with
the bill and frankly admit it.
A report in the house today is to
the effect that not less than twenty
Republican members are openly OPP
posed to the bill and will vote against
it's passage. The present law was
enacted by the Democrats in 1919 and
it is hardly probable that they will
repudiate their own party action of
two years ago. Thus the administra-
ton is left in the position of facing
another positive defeat on the floor.
That is not all. 1t il reported that
if an effort is made to drive the OPP
ponents Of the labor bill to cover, that
they will threaten tieup of other
party legislation and openly tell what
they think OF some OF the planks in
the platform OF last fall Several OF
these members have already testified
in the party caucus. A similar ex-
preston on the floor of the house
would doubtless endanger the passage
Of any administration measure and
might tieup all important legislation
for the remainder of the session.
Anyway, a number or members have
already quietly expressed q willing
| ness to go home as soon as the ap-
preparation bills are passed and are
| perfectly willing that the measures
on the calendar may die where they
