of searching hy county officers and

Of the missing pirl The girl left her

Relatives offered 500 reward for
the return Of the girl II she is alive,
and the same amount for the recovery
Of her body. If she is dead The offer
was made last night
Hope that the girl had found shelter
In n home began to die when returning
searchers last night brought the re-
port that no one, as far as they could
learn, had seen the girl The girl
could not have Travelled far without
shoes and she could not have stood
two nights In the open without food
Had she sought shelter in any house
within a mile or two Of her home the

MUST HAVE THE FACTS

There are circumstances in connec-
ton with the sinking of the Norwe-
gian bark Silius which make it neces-
sary to proceed with due care in the
making of claims to Germany relative
TO the disregard for the rights of
Americans. It is highly important
that all the facts that are to be had
should be gathered before any de-
mands are made, and the investigation
which is underway, both among those
who were on the bark and in learning
from Germany what it knows about
it, ought to go far towards clearing
UP the situation.
It is known that there was an ex-
plosion Of unusual severity which sent
the vessel to the bottom. It occurred
when most of those aboard were asleep
and even those who were on watch
have thus far furnished but few facts
which would assist in fixing the re-
sponsibility. The general impression
is that the bark was torpedoed. That
is a natural conclusion to arrive at in
view Of the manner in which the sub
marine warfare has been carried on
but, If true, it is in violation Of all the
promises which have been made by
Germany for the protection Of neutra
and unarmed vessels. One of the Of.
fcers has advanced the idea that Il
may have been a bomb dropped by ar
airship, but even that was unjustified
and there is the possibility that e
mine had been encountered.
That Germany appreciates the seri'
BUSINESS Of the situation Is indicated
by the advice from Berlin to the eff.
feet that if the vessel was torpedoet
Germany will make full PREPARATION
Still there is more than reparation tt
be considered under the circumstance!
for if a German submarine, and they
have been reported to be operating of
the coast Of France, was guilty it i!
against all promises and in directvio

BILL SHOULD BE KILLED.

Senator Bankhead of Alabama has
introduced in the senate a bill which
would repeal the law which now re-
quires the newspapers of the country
to make a sworn statement every six
months, showing the names of the
editors, owners, publishers, stockhold-
ers, mortgage holders and circulation
figures.
When the law which is now on the
statute books was presented it met
with not little opposition, but it has
since proved that it is a protection to
the advertisers and to the newspapers
which are dealing fairly with their
clients and any effort which is made
to repeal it deserves the strongest OPP
position. The contemplated move
would throw them back into the same
situation as existed before the pres
ent law was passed.
The law places a deserved check
upon those newspapers, which are in
cIined to do business under false col
ors. 1t is unjust to those who are
! depending upon circulation figures in
placing their advertising contracts to
| be forced TO take any kind of figures
which INSCRIPTIONS publishers might
make for the sake Of the business

| under false pretenses, but in order tt
protect themselves as well as the ad-
vertisers against those who are con.
sidering only their own welfare anG
are willing to stoop to any scheme il
order to get somebody else's money
it is important that there should be-
such a federal law. To repeal such {
law would be working an injury t.
every newspaper doing a Legitimate
business.
Certainly congress ought to do moth.
ing which would cater to bushes!
which depends upon false statement
and the proposed measure SHOULD
therefore be quickly defeated.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Moving pictures are a great force in
the community. They are the greatest
entertainment device the age has
brought forth. But they have their
limitations, and their most enthusiast
tic admirers would do we'll to recog-
nize those limitations. The movies
never should supplant, and probably
never will, the spoken drama. How
ever much it may be abused, the most
precious gift of the human race yet
remains the gift of speech For that
very fact the silent drama can new
er be more than a partial drama, how
ever able its actors or complete its
productions. The vital element is not
Telegram.
These insurance statistics of the
present day, coupled with the acute
knowledge of those making insurance
study are certainly enliEhtening.
Especially that one placing the value
of a baby at $50. 1t is such foolish
| phrases, coupled with what is termed
a legal ruling as to the value of
| human life that has led to the traffic
| in human existence at the present
| day. When some judge can fix in
| the peoples mind that child is a
| burden, or that the value of the life
of some individual is gagged on his
| earning capacity, you can cease &c
| wonder why some people have nc
hesitancy in sending human beings
into places they would refrain from

GEN. PERsHINe WELL EQUIPPED

When it became apparent that it
would be necessary to send United
States troops into Mexico it was i'm
mediately recognized that this coun-
try had the very man fitted to lead
such an expedition right on the bor-
der in General Funston, because of
the experience he has had in handling
much the same sort Of conditions in
the Philippines. That there is more
to be considered than that punitive
expedition, when the border situation
in it's entirety is considered, is appar-
ent and none is better prepared to
handle that larger problem than the
general who is in full touch with it,
as Funston is through his several
months service there.
Thus the choice of Brigadier General
]. ]. Pershing must be viewed as a
most logical one under the circum-
stances. He has had the experience
in just such fields of operations. He
has had ten years work in that To-
cality through his service in Arizona
and it is by no means the first time
that he has been under fire. He has
received the compliments of his SUI
periors on various occasions for the
manner in which he has carried out
the duties to which he was assigned.
General Pershing brought about his
promotion to the colonelcy through
the service he rendered with the 10th
| cavalry in the Santiago campaign and
as captain he led a successful cam
paign against the Moros in which
country he saw five years service of a
most creditable character. Being a
most capable cavalryman and with q
record that shows his qualifications it

THE WAR PRIMER
BY National Geographic Society

The city of Trebizond, according to
statement given out here today by
the National Geographic Society, is
by far the most important Turkish
port on the Black Sea. 1t is situated
on the southern shore of that sea,
about $50 miles east of it's outlet
through the Bosphorous.
1T lies only about one hundred miles
west of the international boundary
between Russia-in-Asia and Turkey
in-Asia. 1t has always been the gate
way of the overland trade passing be-
tween Central Asia and Persia and
/ Europe. The fortified city of Erzerum,
which recently surrendered to the
Russians, was one of the stations on
this ter-continental highway.
1.-THE city has no direct communica-
ton with Asia Minor proper, ex-
cept by sea, because it Is thoroughly
| hemmed in on it's western and south
| western sides by a watershed so steep
and forbiding that not single river
is able to break through and thus
reach the Black Sea.
"Trebizond got It's name from the
| situation. 1t originally was called
Trapezus, or Table-land.
The older part Of Trebizond is still
enclosed within wall built by the
Byzantines, but the newer part, which
is the Christian quarter. is outside OF
| the walls.
The harbor is not a good one, the
entrance being soflll ed with silt, de-
posted by the cross currents OF the
Black Sea, as to shut out any but
light draft vessels.
The road from this Turkish Black
Sea port to Erzeru1n Is a very difficult
one. It heretofore has been too much
broken to admit Of the transit of wheel
ed vehicles. In peace times long car
avans of camels followed the trail be.
tween the port and the fortress, but II
recent years the railroad from Batun
4 to Tiflis proved formidable rival fol
the camel, and the ship of the desert
was slowly giving way before the fror
thorse.'n

vate AFFAIRS and their connection with
the LaSalle Street Trust and Savings
bank and his various other interests.

Lorirrer did not see a chance to get
rich quick in the banking business, so
he devoted his time TO other business.

THE GAS AND ELECTRIC PLANT.

From the manner in which the court
of common council denied approval of
the proposition submitted to it by the
gas and electrical commissioners,
seeking the authorization of the ex-
penditure of $24,S5O for the installa-
ton Of two new and larger boilers at
the electric plant, together with other
work which would have to be done in
connection with it, it is quite evident
that such an outlay is not looked up
on with favor.
There can be no question but what
Commissioner Shea is right when he
declares the plant a valuable asset
and declares that it should be main
tanned if for no other reason than to
be used as lever for keeping down
the price of electric current purchased.
but tits impossible to overlook the
fact that if electric current can be
purchased at q lower rate than it can
be manufactured at the steam plant,
it ought to get due and serious con-
sideration
Expenditures which would be made
at the plant under the proposition be-
fore the council would simply be pre-
liminary to further and larger expen-
ditures in the future, and expenditures
which could not be taken care Of by
any of the departments reserve funds
That would mean the piling up of the
interest and depreciation charges
which can be avoided by the purchase
of the current.
1t is known that current can be pur-
chased from the Uncas Power COM
pany for soil Izilowatt hour, and
according TO the statement from Su-
Electric company has agreed to fur
nish it for $.0125. To use the former
power as far as it would go and tC
take whatever additional is required
from the latter would mean the Sc
curing of the electricity at a cost ir
the neighborhood Of S.O1175 which is e
lower figure than the manufacturing
cost for the nine months period up tt
April 30th when the departments las
year closed, which showed that the
city was paying s.0138 a kilowatt hour
for the electricity it was distributing
1t appears therefore to be a bushes!
proposition which the commission ha:
before it, whereby a saving can bt
made through the purchase of it's cur.
rent without at the present makins
any extensive addition to the station
or spending a large amount of none!
which it cannot be shown will pro
duce any better, if as good results.
This question has been hanging fir
for some time. Not little enlighten
ment has been secured upon it as tn
result, but 1t all settles down to
question as to what is most advan
tageous to the city and one upo1
which action ought not to b
much longer delayed if the de
partment is going to be in position
to take the increased load which i
promised in the immediate future.
