Maternity hospitals and like insti-

failed to pay any attention or to exer-

altered, he says. so that by some sys-

In every corner of Germany there
have sprung up so-called Care Insti'

of soldiers have been given all sorts

money, advice and general oversight
Prof. Langstein hopes that these insti.

war, but that they will continue and
develop so as to fit into his whole
social plan.

BERLIN.-Some of the difficulties

WILSON AND THE s-HOUR DAY.
Evidently it is the purpose Of Mr..
Hughes and his Republican manag-
ers to make a political issue Of the
manner in which the 8-hour day for
railroads was established by con-
gress under the leadership of Presi-
dent Wilson. The moment. congress
had acted and had prevented a ma
tion-wide strike that would have par
alyzed the cOuntTy's industries, Can
didate Hughes got out his little ham
mer and began knocking.
Republican papers have joined the
anvil chorus, of course, and accuse
the Wilson administration of play
ing politics.
Had President Wilson been as
much of a coward as the average po-
litical candidate he would have kept
hands off and let the railroad man
ayers and employees go to the mat
and the country to the devil. By
jumping right into the middle of the
mess the president took his political
life in his hands. He deliberately
Tisked his chance of reelection in or
der to save the entire nation from
the fearful consequences of a rail-
road war.
He had more to gain by first let
ting the strike start and then settling
it after the people had suffered. But
he boldly took the other course and
saved the nation from the industrial
and commercial paralysis that was
sure to result from a strike.
Not having suffered at all, the

ONLY 1900 VOTERS
Nearly $4,000 Were Registered Before

Altho there were 24,40O citizens of
Topeka registered for the general cleo
ton last Tuesday, there are only H.
IFS eligible to vote at the next cleo
ton in April. Eta Covell, city clerk,

register There were 24,409 who
registered for Tuesdays election and
only 17,175 who voted, leaving 6,e25
unqualified voters on the registration
books of the city clerk.
Telephone calls from judges and

merous in the city clerks office. They
all want their money. If they call at
the office of the county clerk Saturday

and clerks for the election cost the city
$2,O1SO5 and the dinners and rent
$5O5.25, making total of $2.51S.30.

FOOD DICTATOR IN ENG.
British Face Crisis-May Take Means
of Limiting Consumption.

London, Nov. 15.-Warning that the
situation in England had reached the
point where the government may be
compelled to take artificial means to
limit the consumption of food" was
sounded in the house of commons to-
day by Walter Runciman, president
of the board of trade.
As one of the first steps toward
meeting the present situation, Runci-
man announced the government will
limit milk prices.
Runciman said he favored the ap-
pointment of a food controller for
England with greater powers than any
similar official.
tConscription has gone too far
said Runciman in the course of a de-
bate on the food question. Men must
be brought back for farming and ship
building or the government may be
compelled to take artificial means to
limit food consumption"
Runciman announced that the gov
eminent would assume the power to
institute food tickets at any time it
chooses. The premier, he explained
will announce the name of a food con-
troller later

WILSON BY 5000
Errors in California Count Add Votes
to Both Lists.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-With the
official count in from more than two
thirds of the counties in California,
President Wilson had increased his
plurality over Governor Hughes by
2S6 votes on the face of completed
county totals tabulated unofficially.
Reports of completed official counts
from forty-three out of the fifty-eight
counties in the state today showed
changes from the unofficial favoring
Hughes by 325 votes, and changes
favoring Wilson by Gil, a net gain for
Wilson of 1876.
When the official figures are COM
pleted, it will undoubtedly be possib
by manipulating to show almost any
plurality for Wilson up to 5000 or
5000.
There was considerable discussion
turnout the state today of the persist
ent rumors that were circulated in
New York yesterday that Hughes had
gained $500 votes as the result of a
discovery of an error in the recount
No such error has been shown any
where in the state.

PRISONERS THE GOATS
Russia Furnishes Captive German Of
ficers as Act of Retaliation.

London, Nov. 15.-A communica-
ton from the Russian war office states
that measures of reprisa1 are to be
enforced against captured German Of
ficers. The communication says the
German government transferred
large number of Russian officers to
special concentration camp and sub
jected them to severe treatment owing
to alleged ill-treatment of German
prisoners in Russia. The Russian gov
eminent drew Germany'S attention to
what it characterized as the injustice
of this measure, adding that if by No
vember l this severe treatment was
not done away with, all German Of
ficers held prisoner in Russia would
be subjected to a SIMILAR regime.
No reply having been received the
Russian war minister has ordered that
all German prisoners Of war who have
been treated as officers, be placed in
camps allotted to the ordinary war
prisoners.

MATERIAL GOES UP
Railway Construction and Operation
More Expensive.

The price of material used in rail-
road operation has advanced tremend-
ously during the past twelve months,
and more during the past six months
than during the remainder of the
year, according to a report recently
issued from the office of the assistant
to the president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford road. The report
indicates that on all material except
fuel, rails and ties, the increase has
amounted to approximately 60 per
cent during the past year.
Some of the articles and the in
crease in their cost between April,
1915, and July, 1916, are leather belt
ing, SO per cent; bolts and nuts, 81
per cent; brass, bar, sheet and spring.
50 per cent; bar and sheet copper SO
per cent; files, 10 per cent; fuel oil,
AZ per cent; galvanized pipe, II per
cent; malleable pipe, SO per cent; Ma
Mia rope, 81 per cent; coil springs, II
per cent; bar steel, II per cent; track
spikes, II per cent; cotton waste, rs
per cent.
Some still more startling increases
nave developed in some of the metal
parts and supplies used by the rail :
roads. Brass and steel castings rose
l01 per cent in price in the period
named. Gasoline is up 11S per cent.
Bar iron costs 95 per cent more.
Rivets, boiler and structural, cost re-
spectively 1872 and 140 per cent more.
Structural steel is up 81 per cent, and
boiler steel, in which there has been
the greatest increase noted, costs 226
per cent more.
The report was issued. as an addi-
tioHai argument, N urging increased
economy on the employees of the COM
pany, in the operation of the road.
