Parties were here from the east
last Saturday looking for house to
rent but could not find an empty
house in the town. They said they
had stopped at Scott City intending
to locate there but could not get a
house so they went to Garden City
where they found the same condition
and went on to Deerfield where they
found only one small vacant house
and 1t was down in marshy land and
uninhabitable. From there to Lakin
they found everything taken. They
then came to Syracuse and after
hunting this town over with like re-
suits announced that they would keep
on going west until they found a
town that had an empty house for
rent.-Syracuse Journal.
A colored gentleman" procured a
policy of insurance on his house, and
within few days thereafter the
house was destroyed by fire, under
circumstances indicating that the
owner had burnt it. He was arrested
on a warrant charging him with
burning the house to get the insur-
ance money. Upon the trial the evil
dence was so strong against him that
the jury "belived beyond reason
able doubt" that he was guilty and
returned a verdict Of Guilty as
charged" When the defendant was
brought before the court for SEN
tence the court said: "Rastus, why
did you burn your house so soon after
getting 1t insured?" The reply was:
"Jedge, Use a poo man and can't af-
ford to own an insurance policy and
a house at the same time"
It makes a mighty big difference
when baby is gone. When mother or
daughter or brother are away they
can write. They drop post cards and
we know just what they are doing.
But little Baby can't write post cards
or letters and somebody else has to
say it for her. Baby gets fretful and
refuses to go to sleep when she
should and we get little worn out
trying to humor her, but 1t isn't half
as bad as not having the little toddler
around to worry us. When baby is
gone the house is so still and lone
some. Not a sound. The little old
Teddy bear sticks up from the daven-
port and the grinning face Of a rag doll
sticks out from the trundle bed. How
lonesome the little top piano looks
and how quiet are the blocks and
other playthings. They were full of
life when baby was here. Even the
rag doll quit grinning on the second
day and the Teddy bear has lost five
or six words, but they are a symphony
orchestra in sweetness and melody
missed only when they are gone. If
you have no baby to miss you have
no idea of what lonesomeness means.

1t is probably true that Kansas has
a surplus Of laws, hundreds of which
are never noticed, but law is really
needed that will require all able
bodied prisoners in cities and coun-
ties to be put to work. Every prison
er should be required to work at
least enough to pay for his board and
keep. To confne strong man in jail
in idleness is neither justice or good
sense.-Conway Springs Star.

A Kansas City, Kansas, police
Judge put couple of wife beaters in

streets, which is our idea of a good

a judicial wiseacre and said that 1t

back to Jail and comfortably bedded
down. The sentence given by the
police Judge may not be legal, but 1t
should be. The sooner Kansas adopts

that prisoners be put to work and
the jails made houses of correction

Three weeks later the country was
aroused over the attack on the Ameri-

aeroplane and the American tanker
Gulflight by German submarine.
Three lives were lost as the result Of
the attack ON the Gulfight, although
the vessel was not sunk.
While the administration was pom

with respect to these three vessels the
German embassy took steps to warn
Americans off enemy merchant YES

Without consulting this government
the German ambassador caused to be
inserted In a number OF metropolitan
newspapers an advertisement inform
ing American citizens that it was dan
gerous for them to go upon ships OF
Germany's enemies.
On May 1 an advertisement Of this
sort was printed just before the Lusi-
tania sailed from New York. Hun
dreds OF the passengers aboard the
vessel received kilograms just before
she sailed warning them Of the dan

later was torpedoed. One hundred and
fourteen Americans lost their lives.
Germany attempted to prevent dras-

compelled it to take the lives Of non

Fifteen Months.

"HE history of the controversy be-
tween the United States and
II Germany over the latter's sub
marine warfare, which Presi-
dent Wilson submitted to congress the
other day, dates back to Feb. 4, 1915,
when the Berlin government served
notice on the world that on and after
Feb. IS it would regard a certain de-
fined territory around the British isles
as war zone for submarine opera
tons in wlSch all vessels would be
subject to attack without warning.
Six days later President Wilson sent
to Germany the note which paved the
way for his going to congress, al
though he deferred his trip for fifteen
months.
In this note the president informed
Germany the United States would hold
1t to "strict accountability" for any in
jury which might result to Americans
as a result of the illegal German de-
cree.
Germany on Feb. 16 made public a
statement from its admiralty defend
ing the submarine blockade.
The United States on Feb. 20 pro-
posed to Germany and Great Britain
that both cease their illegal tactics.
Germany gave qualified acceptance
to the proposal, but Great Britain re-
fused to consider the proposal.
More than a month elapsed before
America became vitality concerned in

United States Final Word.

The next day the final word from
the United States on the Lusitania was
dispatched to Berlin, and nine days
later the German reply was received.
This was a most optimistic note, and
the belief gained circulation that the
submarine issue had been settled for
good.
1t was only ten days later, however,
that Germany warned the world that
all armed enemy ships would be sunk
without warning. The rules of inter
national law permit the arming Of a
merchantmen for defensive purposes
only. The United States promptly de-
manded a withdrawal of this order.
On March 20 the United States heard
of the Sussex disaster; then In quick
succession the sinking of the Eagle
Point. Manchester Engineer and Ber-
windvale.
These disasters proved to be the
straws that broke the camel's back,
and on April 10 President Wilson
warned Germany that unless she imme'
diately ceased the use Of submarines
in attacking passenger and freight car
rying vessels severance of diplomat
&c relations was the only course re-
naming open.

rines. This occurred outside Of the
war zone. The British liner Persia
was torpedoed in the Mediterranean
sea with the loss of several American
lives. An Austrian submarine was
blamed for this disaster, however.
The first real action taken by Ger
many on the Lusitania disaster took
place on Jan. 8, 1916, when the Berlin
government promised to pay indem'
nifty for the lives that had been lost
when this liner was sent to the bot
tom.

it proved unsatisfactory. The next
day the country was again startled by

lives were lost. Another wave of in
