ROAD TRACTOR FOR THE CITY
Halleck Proposes Purchase of Better
Road Machinery

The board of city commissioners
meeting in regular session at the
city hall this morning transacted
the routine affairs and discussed
matters concerning the proper care
of the dirt roads in the city
p. H. Halleck, commissioner OF
finance, favors the purchase OF a
tractor and low wheel dump wagons
for municipal road work. In talk
before the board he recommended
such a move but he received no
signs CT encouragement or support
from the other members. He assert
ed that with such an outfit all the
dirt roads and approaches to the
pavement within the limits could be
graveled at a minimum cost. Some
of these roads in bad weather are
a disgrace to the city. Such an out
fit and machinery would not only
be economical, but wo Id do more
efficient work than horsepower ana
would be a wise expenditure in the
opinion of Mr.. Halleck.

BOLD HIGHWAYMEN ONLY
TWO BOYS SEEKING RIDE

The highwaymen who jumped on
the running board of an automobile
carrying some Junction City people
near Sand Springs late Sunday night
week ago were not bandits with
burglar intent as it has developed.
According to Theo. Sherman, who
lives across the road from the pump
ing station, they were two youths
of that neighborhood who had play
ed ball at Solomon that afternoon
and being forced to walk home were
only seeking a ride. Their names
are not disclosed, but the boys told
Mr. Sherman of their experiences
and said that this particular car
was the third which they had hop
ped hoping to get ride.
This authentic version will great
ly relieve the fears of local motor
lists who have hurriedly passed this
certain dark and spooky place on
the Golden Belt ever since with
many dire imaginations of posi-
Bile genuine wild west robbery.

ALLIES CAPTURE
$4,000 GERMANS
Germans Facing Critical Situation in
the East
KAIsER's VISIT is SIGNIFICANT
Additional Gains for Russians on
Eastern Front Are Unofficial
Iy Reports-Slavs Advance

London, July 25.-(Specia)-
According to official reports ISSUED
by the war office 10000 Germans
ave been captured on the west front
by the allied forces since the be.
ginning Of the present drive. No
further gains were reported today
London, July 25.- Unofficial re-
ports tell of additional gains for the
Russians in their offensive against
General Won Hindenberg's army on
the northern end of the eastern
front. Both the Petrograd and Ber-
lin war offices, however, are silent
regarding the progress of the fight
ing in the Riga sector. But if the un-
official reports are substantially
correct-and military experts here
believe they are-the Germans are
facing a most critical situation IN
the east.
By gaining thirty miles of ground
in some places the Russians have
badly bent, if they have not broken,
Won Hindenburg's line. The Slav at
tacks west and southwest of Riga
are described as the most furious of
the war General Kuropatkin has
hurled huge forces against the Ger
mans at every point under attack
and more Russian troops constantly
are pouring in to the fighting line.
The kaser's departure for the
eastern front is held significant by
observers here.

Two Girls Murder Another and Pos

The Hague, July "A wave OF
CHASTITY murders, suicides and other
crimes of horrible character is
sweeping Berlin.
Mental depression or insanity, due
in some instances to the loss of
relatives in the war and in others to
lack Of food is held to be RESPONSE
BILE by German criminologsts In
the past few weeks a sensational
murder or suicide has occurred
nearly every other day in Berlin.
Many of these are being hushed up
and others get but scant attention
in the Berlin newspapers because OF
tho overwhelming interest in the
war.
Two girls murdered another in a
Berlin manicure shop a few days
ago.
A brief item in the German pa
pers, under the caption, "A Love
Drama" revealed a murder in a
wealthy Berlin home.
Under the heading Sentenced to
Four Years Imprisonment" the
Berlin papers carried another war
tragedy. A policeman shot and kill
ed his sister.
Practically nothing is published
in the Berlin newspapers about sui
cides, possibly because Of the de-
pressing psychological effect OF
such news.

MRS. WALTERS GETS POSITION.

Mrs. Leila Walters, wife of Bishop
Alexander Walters, has been appointed
a clerk in the immigration station at
Ellis Island at $1,000 a year. The
appointment was made by executive
order of President Wilson, it is as
serted.
1t is regarded as an effort to pla-
cate the many Colored Democrats who
are threatening to support Hughes on
account of the hostility of the Wilson
administration to the Negro.
Bishop Walters has been an assistant
advocate of the political recognition
of the race by the present national ad-
ministration. Despite his arduous la
bors and promises to the contrary, his
efforts did not bear much fruit. He
was offered one or two big plums but
declined, asserting that the episeopacy
was big enough for him.
Mrs. Walters is an accomplished
woman, and at one time taught school
in Louisville, Ky. She is well versed
in public affairs and has been a great
help to her husband.
1t should be perfectly evident to all
that Bishop Walters must not be re-
garded in any sense of the word as a
great and true leader of his race for if
he was he would never rest eontented
with the little one hundred dollars a
month job which he has at last finally
succeeded in securing for his own wife,
which is nothing in comparison to the
loyal support he rendered President
Wilson in 1912. Do you think it is

to this country than any other living
man."
Judge Dudley told Mrs. Dingman she
was physically unable to the task of
raising any more children and that she
already had done her duty in that
respect. They promised to take the
judges advice.

troll men and women in relation to

His suggestions with reference to the
arrangements of the subject matter
were: cat the beginning a calendar
of the year, putting every date in
black faced heavy type that has any
meaning to the race and a foot note
for explanation. Then would come the
permanent facts about the race, dates
and the events compared, charts with
comparison, politics, art, business, farm
homes, city homes, men and their work,
monuments to men and the race for
what and by whom and where, property
wealth compared with that of various
small countries and some States in area
population, business done and wealth.
