BITTER COMMENTS IN
LONDON ON RAIDS
Responsibility Put on United States in
Editorials in the After
noon Papers.

LONDON, Oct. 10-The London af-
tcrnoOn papers devoted leading editor
ials to the subject Of the raid of the
German submarine. The Pail Mall Ga
zette says that in the sinking of num-
crous ships off the American coast
''the government and people of the
United States have thus had an intimate
reminder of the character and habits
Of the craft which had received their
hospitality - and continues:
1.-THE entente allies have pointed out
in the most friendly spirit some of the
consequences which neutrals cannot es-
cape if they lend the resources of their
ports to belligerent submarines. If
these German craft are to ply their
calling off American ports we shall OBJ
viouSlv establish a counter patrol, and
our merchantmen will have to be alert
to destroy the pirates whenever the
opportunity offers.
"But in this kind of warfare there
Is little time to ascertain the national
ity of submarine craft. Their hunters
have to deal with them on sight, and
il is by no means improbable that one
of America s own submarines straying
into the danger zone, might inadver-
tently encounter the fate reserved for
'boche.' 1t is a question for the
American government whether it wish
cs its Atlantic coast frequented by its
own submarines or by those of Ger
many. 1t is quite clear in the nature
Of things there is not room for both. -

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-AIl day and
night without further news Of the U-53
has not quictcd the anxiety in shipping
circles caused by the activities of the
submarine commerce raider off Nan

of the German U-hoat and the mys-
teriea regarding her location increased
the precautions taken by owners and
agents Of vessels Of the entente ma
tions.
Transatlantic liners and freight
steamers approached this port today
by courses which carried them far out
Of tho regular lanes.
Louis Costa, manager Of the Pierce
line which yesterday delayed the de
parturc Of tho steamer San GugiIlmo,
said he would give no advance notice
rs to when the vessel would sail as
he believed German agents in this city
were keeping the U-53 informed rs tc
the movements of the vessels of the
entente nations here. Exporters her,
say the submarine raid and the con

rates on transatlantic transportation
will check shipments from New YorE

VILLA YET UNHUNG
Gen. Pershing Close on Trail
Many Sick Soldiers
Hopes High

Twice within the week has
that Mexican slaughterer Of
Americans on our own soil es-
capped from seemingly inevitable
captu.e in a few hours. The
report that he is sick has been
proven false, and even the direc-
ton he took to escape capture has
been falsely reported by Mexi-
cans to the leaders of our troops
in pursuit.
Many of the soldiers in Gems.
Pershing and Dodds forces have
had to be sent back to camp
hospitals, the weather, water
and heat and cold being too
much for their endurance.
1t is merely a guess as to how
close the pursuers are to Villa
or as to the certain attitude of
the Carranza soldiers towards
his capture. The pursuit is
growing more hazardous anC
difficult every day.

The many old friends and
clients of the distinguished
lawyer who for years was a
leading lawyer at the bar OF
this circuit, will be deeply panied
to know that Isaac H. Kinley
died at his home in Kansas City
Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Kinley was past the
middle seventies, and about 25
years ago left this county and
opened a law Office in Kansas
City after active practice of law
in this county for a quarter of
a century or more. The law
firm, Kinley and Wallace was
known all over the state as one
of the strongest legal combina.
tions of talent in the state. In
the city Kinley & Kinley, Isaac
H. and his son Will, had a lucra'
tive practice and the young sur.
viving member will miss the
wise counsel of one among the
best legal minds.

deucedly high rate, has failed,
refused and declines to again

cants.
In other plain words, this, a
wet county by a majority vote,
is forced to be the dryest of the

and express company, at whose
instance, will soon appear. Until
the mystery is cleared up and
the obstacles removed there viii

passed, giving them a very close
call. Neither of the others was
injured. Charley is home doc

Pool Halls Win

A county court cannot hold up
a pool hall license because it be-
lieves pool halls are a bad thing
for the county.
That is the decision of the
Missouri Court of Appeals in an
opinion filed by Judge Trimble,
and concurred in by the other
judges yesterday. The case was
that of A. D. Bayless against the
county court of Clinton County.
Bayless sought a mandamus to
make the court issue him a pool
hall license.
When the court turned down
Bayless's application for a license
it did not have specific charges
against Bayless. The opinion OF
the court was that pool halls
were..not a good thing for Clinton
County. Bayless appealed. The
appellate court decreed that the
power was conferred to the
county court by the Legislature
to grant licenses. and these
could not be prohibited indi.
rectly.
The appellate court granted
the mandamus Bayless sought.

LOCAL ELECTIONS
Much Interest in School Board
City Election Quiet
Small Vote.

Unusual interest in the elec-
ton of the members of the
school board wes manifested by
many Tuesday. Ordinarily there
is not more than one and he a
standing candidate for the place,
but at this election there bobbed
up serenely two who apparently
very much desired to serve and
take the thanks of the district
which are always paid in cussing.
There were some issues which
were not issues at all if the
attitude of the old board had
been understood by the voters
who were importuned to support
one or the other of the two
tickets, put forth to influence
the outcome of the contest, but
there were some things which
the board elected would be ex-
pected to do by the supporters
of the successful board, and to
say that in either case the inter
est of the school to the fullest
extent was the object and only
object, would be to give the
benefit of any doubt over to the
Imagination.
There are some who are frank
enough to letit be known before
hand that theic only object in
seeking to become members OF
the school board is to serve
some personal end for them
selves or for some favorite.
When it is considered that the
only recompense for members is
what they can get out of It ii
some such way, and the duties
are onerous and annoying al
times, leaving out of the genera
question the benefit which thu
pupils might have from purell
disinterested motives, we canno
much blame those elected fol
utilizing their opportunity.
There were three directors tC
elect, the vacancy occasioned b!
the death of director Yves Age,
being filled by election. ThC
