CORNER IN FLOUR A
 THREAT TO AUSTRIA
Existence Of Trust in Hungary
 Would Be Serious Matter

l Correspondence of The Associated Press) Zurich, March 23.-Considerable apprehension has been excited in Aus tria by the announcement that the Hungarian flour mills are being or ganized into a powerful trust. AL most wholly dependent upon Hungary for wheat and other breadStutfS, the
 Austrian millers and bakers fear that this new corporation will increase still further their SubjeCtiOn to the other half of the monarchy.
 Among the various questions which have arisen during the war, Wherc the interests of the two nations have been divergent, none has Occasioncd more bitter feeling than those connected with the grain trade. Austria is chiefly an industrial country and Hungary an agricultural one, export ing enormous quantities of grain every year; a very large proportion of which goes to Austria.
 When foodstuffs began to get scarce in the dual monarchy, Austria naturally suffered first. While in Hungary every body had plenty to eat, and prices were moderate, the Aus trians were on short ration5, paying exorbitant prices, and having to suffer all the inconvenience and annCyanccs of the bread ticket system.
 Charges of selfishnesS and ;lttem Dt ed eXtortiOn were made against the Hungarian landowners and peasant farmers but the miliors were also ac- cused of taking unfair advantage of tho situation. They managed to get the government in Budapest to put all kinds of obstacles in the way of sending grain to Austria, insisting that they ought to have all the milling profits.
 Remembering this, the Austrian millers are the more alarmed now at the prospect of this new trust in Hungary, feeling certain that very little grain will be allowed to cross the frontier. The bulk of 1t will be converted first into flour and meal in the country where it is grown. More over the Hungarian millers will be able to fix the buying and selling prices of both grain and flour.
 In the struggle the Austrian millers are handicapped by the fact that many of them are in a small way of business, whereas the Hungarian mills are mostly of considerable capacity. And in addition the natural advant- ages are all on the side of Hungary so far as production is concerned.
 Hungary cultivates over 25,OOO,O00 acres of grain, against Austria's 1G.- O00,O00. Hungary's chief products, however, are wheat and corn while Austria's are oats and rye.

MELT CHINESE COIN
 AND SELL THE METAL
Willy Japanese Traders Making
 Profits in Copper


 Picking, March 7.-Sincc the oc- cupation of Tsing-tau by ahc Jap anese, traders from Jap pan have flock ed into Shantung province in large numbers and have begun trading operations in center where they have no treaty rights. Many of these
 traders are collecting old copper cash, the Chinese coins which have a hole in the center and are carried on strings and are melting the coins down and selling the copper at a big profit.
 Traffic in the Chinese copper cash is going on in many parts of China regardless of the central governments regulations forbidding the eXportarion of cash.
 Seventy thousand pieces of copper cash were recently seized by Chinese officials on a train at Changchun in Central Manchuria. This money was concealed in trunks checked by Jap anese. The cash is shipped to Shanghai or to Japanese lsorts where it is melted down and briAgs q high price because of the scarcity of cop per.
 In Picking and the more important commercial centers on the railways in China, cash is used only by the Chi nese. The rate of exchange varies greatly in different places. Ordinarily ten cash are worth one copper cent 1 The cent is a coin without a lole in it, and the ratio of the cent values to the Mexican dollar is at present about one hundred and thirty-five 60 one. Consequently one Mexican dollar will purchase ono thousand three hundred and fifty copper cash in the larger centers. The rate generally is even better for the copper dealers in the remote sections.
 China is experiencing money famine. The price of silver is OK trcmcly high. Gold is seldom seen, and the onslaughts the copper dealers l are ma king on the supply of copper l cash complicate the situation still ! further.

TRELAND'S POPULATION.

Dublin, April 7.-The return just issued by the Registrar General of Ireland shows that the population of Ireland increased last year by 9,452. This follows on an increase of 7,11S during the year 191 i. There has been a decrease of births in prOpor- tion to population of six per cent. and an increase of two per cent in the deaths. The increase in the popula- ton is due entirely to the diminlrion in emigration. Emigration in 1914 was 3 per cent less than in 1913, and in 1915 there was a decrease of fifty per cent. on the 1914 figures. The incl lease of population first noted in

HOW TO REDUCE

A SIMPLE, SAFE, RELIABLE WAY.

A SIMPLE, SAFE, RELIABLE WAY.
 People who are over-burdened with superhuous fat, know only too well the discomfort and ridicule that over stout people have to bear.
 If you are carrying around five or ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are unnecessarily weakening your vital Or gans and are carrying a burden which destroys the beauty of your figure.
 There is no need of anyone sufierin g rom superfiuous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in :l simple, safe diet or tiresome exercise, here is a test worth trying. Spend as much time as you can in the open air, breathe deeply and get from The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, or any good druggist a box of oil Of korein capsules; take one alter each meal and one before retiring at night.
 Weigh yourself once a week so as to know just how fast you are losing weight and don't leave off the treat ment or even skip a single dose until you are down to normal.
 Oil of korein is absolutely harm less, is pleasant to take, and helps d1- gestion. Even a few days treatment has been reported to show a notice. able reduction in weight, footsteps become lighter, your work seem easier and @ lighter and more bouyant feel ing takes possession of your whole being.

DESIGN 16-INCH GUN
Q. S. Would Go GerInany's AZ Cent.
meter Cannon, One Better.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Arny ord
nance experts are at work on designs
for huge field hoWitzers, as large or
larger than the German forty-two
centimeter guns which wrecked Bel
gian and French forts early in the
war. They will be at least sixteen inch
caliber with a range of twelve to fiji
teen miles, hurting a projectile weigh
ing more than a ton and carrying a
huge amount of high explosives.
In addition to placing several of
these mammoth weapons along the
coast line for mobile defense against q
naval attack, army officials now are
considering the creation of a special
regiment equipped with six of the
howitzers, to work as a unit of the mo-
bile army. The problem confronting
the designers in that regard is to dis
tribute the enormous weight of the
gun and carriage in such a way that
it can be moved over any good road.
That difficulty is a determining fac
tor in American heavy artillery de-
signs.
About a few of the largest cities,
well ballasted roads which would sup
port the weight of the huge guns can
be found but even such highway as
the Boston Post road from Boston to
New York, it is said, has many sec
lions so lightly tuilt that the great
weight would crush them. For those
reasons it is planned to build the new
howitzers primarily for transportation
by rail on special cars. 1t is believed
possible also that the weight can be so
distributed on several carriages drawn
by motor tractors that it could De
dragged over any well ballasted high
way

THIS INDIAN KNEW
When Judge Asked Him What He
Was Given Before He Said-"Shirt.''

William Wall is a young Indian who
doesn't stay on any reservation, but
buns from one part of the country
to another. He makes Topeka now
and then and is occasionally picked up
as a vagrant.f He was arrested Thurs
day and appeared before Judge Rob-
ert Yates for trial Friday afternoon.
The judge looked him over and
there was something familiar about
the boy.
"Say you've been here before,
haven't you?'' said the court
yep" said Wall.
What are you doing here again,
ard on the same charges" demanded
the judge. What did 1 give you the
last time?"
"A suit of clothes and a shirt -
came back the Indian.
Then Yates remembered. The boy
was SO ragged on the previous occa-
sion that he had taken him out, fixed
him up with a suit of clothes and
turned him loose. Yesterday he was
just as dirty and ragged as on the
former occasion.
How old are you?" demanded the
judge
Eighteen"
Heavens" said Yates, st didn't
suppose man could get so dirty in
eighteen years"
But at that, Wall was paroled with
the understanding that he was to
leave town.

Miss Wooster Takes Up State
ment of Festus Foster.
Legal Action Threatened as Re-
suit of Topeka Sermon.
WOULDN'T HAVE A PREACHER
State Censor Said Salina WO-
man Made This Promise.
"He FIatly Stated an Untruth
and Must Observation-Disclosures.

When the Rev. Festus Foster told
Topeka congregation that Miss Lizzie
Wooster had promised not to appoint
a preacher as movie censor, if elected
state superintendent, he told a blank
falsehood, according to an emphatic
statement today by Miss Wooster. The
Salina woman declares that Foster
not only stated an untruth, but he
must make a retraction or suffer the
consequences.
One of the favorite pastimes of at
taches in the office of superintendent
w. D. Ross has been to throw rocks
at Miss Wooster. She was the one
candidate who threatened trouble
when Ross sought a third nomination
as state superintendent. Now she is
being urged to make the race against
Ross as an independent candidate. So
anything Ross clerks and censors did
to Miss Wooster was in the interest of
a worthy cause-from the Ross stand
point.
Recently the Rev. Mr.. Foster talked
about the movie censorship from the
pulpit of the Second United Presby-
terrain church. 1t was from the pulpit
that the head of the movie censors
took a careful shot at Miss Wooster,
who may soon be in the race against
Ross for the election.
What Foster Said.
"One of the campaign promises of a
certain candidate for superintendent
Of public instruction was that if she
were elected, she wouldn't have any
preacher on the board" Foster told
his congregation. Miss Wooster was
| the only she" who made a campaign
for the nomination. And now Miss
Wooster is on the warpath and the
reverend Mr.. Foster will back I'D OF
suffer the consequences
Il never made such a statement OF
thought of such a thing" Indignantly
declared Miss Wooster. 81 never ex.
pressed an opinion as to whether q
preacher should or should not be or
the board of censors. When the Rev.
erend Mr.. Foster made that statement
he fatty stated an untrUth Thai
statement was made for the purpose OF
1n!ur1ng me and was made maliciously
Neither myself nor my friends viii
permit such tactics He will either
retract what he has said or he will
suffer the consequences"
And Miss Wooster spoke as one who
meant just what she said.
