roll. unknown to him-unul later. she
admitted taking the twenty. In view
of her close though brief friendship
with the Kansas mayor, however, she
felt that he should not have kicked.
Ethel was arrested here last night
by Chief Thomas McMillin shortly
after her arrival. Capt. Pat O'Grady
was with the chief. The girl was GO

PROMPT ANSWER
GIVEN CHALLENGE
OF NJ MILE n
District Attorney Summers
Burkhart Replies to State
ment Issued by President Of
Water Supply Company,

In statement issued by A. Il. Me-
Millen in the Journal Of Yesterday
morning, A. b. McMillen used the fol-
lowing language:
"Wlll any one OF the gentlemen
represented as favoring the bond is
sue make a statement over his own
name that bonds can be legally issued
without an ordinance which cannot
be repealed and which shall provide
for special property tax sufficient
to pay interest and provide a sinking
fund sufficient to pay the bonds? We
challenge them 10 make such state
ment."
Burkhart's Reply.
A prompt answer to Mr. McMillen's
challenge came over the long distance
telephone yesterday afternoon from
District Attorney Summers Burkhart
who is now in Santa Fe.
Nobody has ever commended, said
Mr.. Burkhart. that Il would not be
necessary TO pass an ordinance pro-
viding for tax to coVer. the interest
and sinking fun Of the bond issue.
The point is that if the city has the
money in hand from other sources
the levy of that tax will be unneces-
sary. and with properly conducted
municipal water plant there will be
money on hand to meet those charges.
Mr.. McMillcn knows as we'll as he
knows anything that with a city plant
in operation which is earning enough
money to pay interest and sinking
fund charges, it will not be necessary
to levy Ii tax for that purpose, even
though an ordinance providing for
such a contingency is necessary"

Hughes Sympathetic With De-
mands of Labor Which Are
Proved to Be Just.

~ am sympathetic with every
demand to improve the condi-
lions of labor, to secure reason
able compensation for labor. |
am in sympathy with every ef-
fort to better human conditions,
and particularly the condition Of
those who toll in industrial pur-
suits, In railroad pursuits, in all
these great activities that are
essential to our prosperity. But
when you have a proposition to
change the scale of wage you
have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is just one.
Labor, of course, should not
desire anything but what is Just.
do not believe labor intends to
ask for anything but what is
just. What is just can be ex-
amined and will survive inves-

CAVALRY NOT MUCH
USED IN THIS WAR
Ground Too Much Broken by
Shell Fire for
Horses.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press.)
FRENCH FRONT, Dec. 3. - Just
IA months have passed since French
cavalry has appeared on the battle
fields of the Franco German front as
n mounted force. The last occasion
OF their employment in their real
work was September 25. 1915, when
a single squadron of hussars crossed
the German lines In Champagne
and brought back some prisoners.
The French general staff. however,
has not permitted the splendid horsed
regiments composed of cuirassiers.
Dragons, hussars and mounted
rifles) to remain idle. They take their
tsrn with the infantry regiments in
the trenches, where they do exactly
the same arduous ? as the foot
soldiers for n period and then return
far behind the front to exercise with
their mounts.
Earlier in the war; when fighting
was severe on the User, the French
cavalry came into touch with the
Germans on several occasions. and
generally with success. Trench war
fare along the continuous line reach
ing from the North sea to the Swiss
frontier. with no flanks to turn, has
rendered their employment on horse
back impossible.
Extracts from German newspapers
describing the battle around Sally
Saillisel on November 8 and 6 this
| year declare large bodies of French
cavalry and field artillery were
massed Immediately behind the front
line In the expectation that the Ger
man positions " about to be
pierced and that they oou' then dash
thru the breach. The Associated
Press correspondent was present dur
ing the whole of the fighting on those
days and the only mounted men seen
anywhere near the field were military
policemen directing the supply COLI
umns and the drivers of the horsed
transport wagons.
Even the German prisoners who
surrendered as result OF the attacks
on Saillisel and the Saint Pierre WAIST
wood were placed under the guard of
infantrymen. for tho ground in the
vicinity is so much broken up that
horses could not march over II.
The correspondent later had an op-
portunity of seeing the cantonments
of some French cavalry two days
march from the battlefield. The
chargers were in excellent condition
and the veterinary surgeons, them
selves expressed surprise at the small
percentage of sickness among them
since the beginning OF the campaign,
This Is the result of the constant care
given them by the detachment of men
left behind when the remainder of
tho regiment goes into the trenches.
one squadron of each unit is detailed
for duty in the cantonment while
their comrades are engaged in the
fighting zone. Even the officers leave
their mounts behind
This system OF utilizing the cavalry
has been employed for over year
and It Ia unlikely that any change
will occur unless forward move on
q grand scale should be anticipated.
