BEST OF; ARMIES
Universe "Dumb With Admira-
ton" Before British
War to Be Fought With Ma
chinery, Not BraWn.

London, Aug. 26.-"The government
now has under control all factories
able to produce cannon, rifles, projec-
tiles and explosives said David
Lloyd George, British minister of mu-
nitions, in an interview with Charles
Humbert, news editor of the Journal.
"It also controls all foundries and ma
chine and tool factories and not one
pound of metal or one detached piece
is turned out by the vast industrial
machine which is not destined for the
use of our armies. This war must
not be fought with Drawn, but with
machinery
From what Mr. Lloyd George
showed him, Mr.. Humbert believes
British preparations in many ways
are more ample than those of the
French. He declares the army now
entraining will be one of the most
the world has even seen, and
when, later, 1t will be possible to tell
what has been achieved by the Brit
ish, the universe will be dumb with
a admiratiOn'' -

GERMANY DOES NOT WANT
THE U. S. To ENTER WAR

Washington, Aug. 26.-One of
the most important features of the
International situation today was
this:
Germany does not want the Unit
ed States brought into the war. Of
ficialism was satisfied on this point.
1t was admitted that the admin
istration feared Americas partici-
patton in the struggle was desired
in Berlin. If so, it was recognized
that it might be hard, perhaps i'm
possible, to keep out
The German request that the ad-
ministration suspend judgment con-
cerning the Arabic partially re-
moved this apprehension.
Count BernStOff'S talk with Sec
retary Lansing today was sufficient
to eliminate this fear entirely.
This official statement was is
sued:
The United States does not want
war, has not wanted war at any
time, and is prepared to go to any
reasonable length to avoid it,"
1t is also clear now, if it was not
before. that Germany does not wan.
the United States in the War.

COMES HIGH BUT
MUST HAVE IT
Fraternal Aid Proposition Is
Before Officials.
Advance in Rates Raises a
Storm of DfsapprOvaI.
ROW REACHES STATE HOUSE
Policy Holders Take the Mat
ter Up With Wilson.
An Appeal to the Courts Even
Is Being Considered.

One of the finest little insurance
rows Kansas has entertained in some
months is brewing in the camp of the
Fraternal Aid Union. The trouble
breeders took their first nourishment
at a convention in California some
weeks ago. Now they are hearing
from their constituents-the meek
eyed, lowly insured-who have not
convinced themselves that they are
altogether satisfied with an increase
in the rates
The troubles of the Fraternal Aid
Union have reached the state insur-
anoe anee department They have also also
freedom in the various local councils
of the union. Regardless of the mer-
its of the ease, the new rate system
seems to have stirred up feeling and
aroused some buried sentiments.
Some of the things the pilgrims on
foot think of the new rates are being
told to state departments Others are
merely sending expressions to the
head offices of the union. 1t all re-
lates to one subject-a lew and in
creased rate schedule.
Some months ago, it appears there
was an amalgamation of the Frater-
nal Aid and the F'raternal Aid Union,
Both concerns came to an agreement
which resulted in the handling of the
business under the name of the Fra
ternal Aid Union According to the
rather authoritative statements of
some of the insured, there was an
agreement that with the amalgama-
ton would go an increase in the rates.
1t all sounded plausible and fascin-
ated everyone except the several
thousand customers of the company.
Nice Little Night Letter.
About the first word that came to
Kansas on the subject was a nice little
night letter from some head official of
the company indicating that an in
crease in rates would be probable. The
telegram arrived at the office of Carey
Wilson, state superintendent of insur-
ance about the time the Fraternal Aid
Union officers and delegates opened
their convention in California. Then,
according to the various statements
the next communication was 20 the
policy holders. They were advised that
they might pay a higher rate. Very
few policy holders sent congratuiatory
kilograms to the officers of the as
sociation. Instead they visited their
local councils and asked embarrassing
questions that nc one seemed able to
answer.
1t seems that in the movement to
increase rates, the local councils had
not been consulted.
Then delegations began coming to
Topeka. One came this morning from
Kansas City only the other day. Other
delegations, it is reported, are plan
ming to come. And then they will go
to the head offices of the union and
state their grievances in plain, sim
pie, one and two syllable words and ask
for relief.
In the meantime the California rates
sured must either pay up or lose his
policy.

81 AVIATORS IN RAID
Throw $50 Shells on German Arms
Plant Near SarreIouis.

Paris, Aug 26.-Sixty-two French
aviators on August rs flew over a.
German arms ia ctory to the north of
Saarlouis, throwing down more than
$50 shells. Thirty of these were of
large caliber.
So far official reports have dis
closed. there never has been previous
ly raid of such maj gnitude so far as
concerns the number of machines en-
ployed as yesterdays attack by sixty
two aeroplanes. In a few earlier ven
lures of the kind, 80 or more aero
planes were used
Press dispatches have indicated that
the principal belligernts have built
great numbers of aeroplanes and as a
result of the development of this
branch of the service since the out
break of the war, these machines are
sent forth in flotillas for organized as
saults on a large scale, instead of be-
ing dispatched singly or in pairs, chief
ly for observation purposes
Yesterdays raid was the third in
this part of Germany during the last
three weeks. On August g. Saar-
bruecken was bombarded and three
days later the neighborhood towns of
Saint Ingbert and Zweibruecken were
Eight persons were killed
in the latter raid.

KEEP Pen OUT OF POLITICS
Opening Arguments Began
Here This Afternoon.
General HOuSecleaning Advised
by Atty McKeever.

Attorneys and members of the
commission in the Botkin prison
probe, returned to Topeka this morn

in the case pending the completion of
the transcript of evidence was changed

Arguments in the case began at 1

hours was allotted to each side for
a discussion of the law and the evi
dence. Decision in the case will be
withheld until members of the COM
mission have had an opportunity TIC
study the transcript.
At Work This Afternoon.
Edwin McKeever of Topeka was this
afternoon in charge of the o. Iatory
for the prosecution. He opened the
argument for the plaintiff and will
close the case late this afternoon.
In his opening statement before the
McKeever severely criti-
ciSed the general management at the
state prison. He did not base his
alone on Rot<in'S personal
acts, but spoke feelingly of the incom-
potency of subordinate officers. A
of department heads of peni-
Tertiary were under fire by the To-
peka lawyer and McKeever urged
general house cleaning would be
wholesome.
McKeever in his preliminary re-
marks urged the necessity of a gen
eral cleanup at the prison and a
change in the policy of prison man
