Japan Makes Extraordinary
Demands Upon China.

Peking. Jan. 26.-Certain political and
territorial demands which Japan has
made upon China, following the Jap
a ese occupation of Kiao Chow. have
become known in Peking and their ex-
tent is disquieting to Chinese officials.
These demands, twenty-One in num-
Der were communicated to the Chinese
government. January %, by the Jap
aneSe minister here. They include
first, that China turn over to Japan all
existing German and Austrian conces-
sions; second, that China pledge herself
not to give concessions, in the future.

permission to build a special territorial
railway. and fourth, mining privileges
in Shantung and Fuixien province, in
Manchuria. in Eastern Mongolia and In
the -Yang-Tse valley.
: If these. demands were granted 1t is
felt in Pekfng that the result would be
tantamount to turning over to Japan
all the regions above named as spheres
of influence to the detriment of the
treaty rights Of other nations. Up to
the present the Peking government has
not replied to the japan note.
Chinese officials are particularly in
censed just now, at rumors circulated
here that China is negotiating with
Germany to the end that German Off
GERS reorganize the Chinese army. This
report is denounced as without fOunda-
ton.

HERE'S A GOOD PLAN.
North Topeka Church Serves Coffee
and Doughnuts to Rural Members.

Refreshments served Immediately
after the evening prayer meetings is
the latest inducement for people living
in rural districts to attend church
which will be inaugurated Sunday eve
ming by the North Topeka Baptist
church
The refreshments will consist of hot
coffee and cake and the policy will
probably be continued during the cold
weather.
Rev. w. Garnet Handley, pastor of
the church, in speaking of the policy
said: Il believe the idea will be a
success. And it will show that we ap-
preciate the difficulties under which
people living in the country are forced
to make the long cold drive in order
to attend church. About 100 members
of the North Topeka Baptist church
live in rural districts Not long ago
the church inaugurated a policy of
bringing old people to church in autos
and furnishing them with rocking
chairs during the services"

BABY WAS There
That Seemed To Be Only Fea-
ture of Badders' Case Today.
Jury Heard Childish Squeals of
Topekan's YOungster.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 26.-The
main witness at this mornings session
of the trial of George s. Badders Of
Topeka, charged with using the mail
to defraud. was George C. Guggen-
helm of Rochester, N. Y, business
manager of the Stein-BlOch Clothing
company. Mr.. Guggenheim testified
that in 1911, Badders and I. ]. Frank
enstein bought out the Marshall Cloth
ing company of Topeka. The Stein
Bloch company, he testified, lent
Frankenstein $500 with the under
standing that the new company was
to be distributing agent for the
Stein Bloch clothing. The loan was
paid back, Mr.. Guggenheim said.
The trial is moving very slowly and
many objections are being made by
counsel for Badders. 1t is probable
that it will require the remainder of
this week at least to finish the case,
although Judge Dyer has heightened
the day sessions an hour and has or
dered night sessions until the case is
ended.
Mrs. Badders and her 1-year-old
daughter attended the trial yesterday
afternoon for the first time and occu-
pied conspicuous position in the
court room. Mrs. Badders was pres
ent again this morning and the baby
was in the ante-room whence it's cry
ing was heard at ,rvals by the jury.

The Russian Force Which Has
Invaded Hungary.
HOPE OF TEUT0NIC ALLIES
Is to Raise Siege Of Przemysl
and Save Budapest.
Advance of the MuscOvftes Is
Said To Be Broken.

Vienna, JAM 26.-Austrian armies
heavily reinforced, are slowly rolling
back the Russian invaders along
long battle line extending from Dukla
pass in the vest in a Southeasterly
direction to the Rumanian border.
The Austrian war office regards
the present development in the fight
ing along the Carpathians as the most
important since the beginning of the
Russian invasion. The Austrian OO-
jective is the relief of the besieged
fortress of Przemysl. the recapture
of Bukowina and the removal of the
Russian threat against Budapest and
Hungary.
Reports of infantry engagements
today near Jaslo, northwest of Dukla
pass indicated that the Austrian
army, sweeping eastward from the
Cracow region, has pressed back the
Russians to line half way 6etWeen
the Donajec and San rivers. Further
decisive gains by the Austrian army
and continued progress by the Aus
trian forces moving northward in the
direction of PrZemysl, will force the
Russians to relieve the siege OF the
fortress which has been under way for
many weeks.
The Russian campaign in Bukowina
has been halted abruptly. Not only
has General Ivanhoff's army sustained
heavy losses in it's efforts to push
through the mountain passes into
Transylvania but the Austrians have
recaptured several passes. North OF
Watrs Dorna, in Southern Bukowina.
the Austrians have retaken several
Russian trenches and are pushing the
czar's army back.
In official circles it is asserted that
the Russian advance upon Hungary
has been completely broken.

Berlin now asserts. A statement is
sued there today says that according
to well informed German sources q
British battle cruiser was sent to the
bottom by a German torpedo boat,
and that a German aviator witnessed
the destruction of the vessel. In ad-
ditfon to the loss of the cruiser, as
previously reported in Berlin 1t is said
that two British torpedo boats were
sunk and that other warships were
damaged seriously. The British ad-
miralty has added nothing to it's orig
inal announcement that no British
vessels were lost or seriously injured.
The German governments order for
the confiscation Of all supplies of
wheat, corn and flour is regarded in
England as q significant indication of
the economic effects of the war upon
Germany. 1t is said officially in Ber-
lin that the action of the government
assuring conservation of foOdstuffs
will make certain q plentiful supply
until the next harvest.
Russia is pouring reinforcements
into Bukowina where she apparently
has met with a reverse at the hands
of the Austrian forces.
Vienna assumes that Rumanfa will
now hesitate to join Russia in the war

THE BUG MOVES
Topeka Baseball Situation FL

Reisigl Has Been Sold to San
Francisco Club.

That Topeka will remain on the
Western league baseball circuit this
season was practically admitted by
one of the directors of the club this
afternoon, and that some action will
be taken at once is the general opin-
ion of all concerned.
This morning President Arch M.
Catlin admitted that a deal of some
kind was on and stated that a meeting
would be held either this afternoon or
tonight at which it would be consum-
mated. Later. however. Mr.. Catlin
said that the deal had been postponed
and that no meeting would be called
before Thursday.
r. is understood that the deal to
which Mr.. Catlin referred is an option
for the sale Of the club and franchise
to new owners. However, none OF the
directors would discuss the matter.

Blame ON women
Bill in House to Keep Black
mail From ssWhite Slavery
When ssSlave" Is willing Man
Cannot Be Convicted.

Representative Drummond of Nor
to... county today offered in the house
a bill amending the state white slav-
cry act to provide that where q wo-
man accompanies man on her own
motion from one place to another
within the state or from one state to
held guilty of a felony. The object
of the bill, Drummond explained, is
to remove the opportunity for black
mail which he believes exists under
the 1913 act.
When the legislature Of two years
ago enacted the white slavery law. 1t
provided that when a man accompan-
led a woman from one place to anoth-
er within the state or from one state
to another for immoral purposes. the
man upon conviction should be held
guilty of felony and sentenced to the
penitentiary for term of not more
than 21 years. A number OF convic-
tions have been had in the state under
the law.
Only . Nlisdemeanor.
1t is the belief Of the Norton coun-
ty man, however, that the purpose of
the act is destroyed in q measure
through the opportunity for blackmail
afforded designing women. He now
proposes an amendment which he be-
lieves will relieve the complaint
against the existing law His bill re-
enacts large portion OF the original
act. but provides further:
IF upon the trial, it be shown that

age, and that she went to any place

the purposes named therein. of her

deemed felony, but shall be deemed

be the same as is prescribed for mis-
demeanors.~

I'VE exhibited AZ centimeter gun

mobility Of our large siege guns
which authorities abroad could not
believe in.
In our catalog at the Chicago
