Prussia, al well as Austria and Russia,
but such a state could be created only
by isolating a million Germans in East
Prussia and giving Dantzig and Posen
to the reincArnated Poland. Against
this Germany would fight to the bitter
end.
But it IL for an Austro-German pro-
tectora.e in Poland and an Austrian
supremacy in the Balkans that the
Austro-Germans are now fighting.
Neither side will now make peace, be-
cause the Germans still believe that
they can bring this modest reward for
their Iabors and sacrifices home: the
Allies believe they can rescue Serbia
and restore the independency OF the
Balkans, but in doing this they will
probably have to give Constantinople
to the Russians. Some months hence 1t
may be possible that all contestants
will consent TO a peace that win leave
Turkey intact and reorganize the Bal
kans, not AZ Russian or Austro- German
protectorates, but as Independent
states. This 10 the best that can be
hoped for by neutrais.
Meantime IL IL interesting to note
that, deepite the fact that Germany
has met no defeat, her claims as the
price OF peace have very greatly dimin-
ished and are now approaching q rea-
sonable basis. Before the spring cam
paign we shall probably hear one more
proposal, coming like all the others,
from the German side, and not i'm
possibly even more reasonable. But 1t
IL a safe forecast that 1t will be re-
tected

writes:

The partition OF Serbia would give
Austria most Of the old kingdom and

QUIT THE STAMPS 8 MILES APART!
Great Naval Battle Was Fought
in Haze.
German Torpedo Boats Most
Effective in Fight.

Berlin, June 3.-The first naval bat
tie on grand scale during the pres
emit war has been attended by results
which, according to the information
received here are highly satisfactory
to the Germans, not only in respect
of the comparative losses of tho two
fleets, but in the fact that the Cor
mans maintained the field after the
bottle This is shown, German com
mentators. assert, by the rescue of
British survivors.
The British fleet is now estimated at
approximately twice as strong in guns
and ships as that under Admiral
Scheer.
The battle was divided into two
sections. The day engagement began
at about four o'clock in the afternoon
and continued until darkness, or about
o'clock. This was followed by a
series of separate engagements
through the night.
The exact ranges and course of the
day fight have not been aScertained.
1t is assumed that the ranges of the
day engagement were were not ex-
treme possibly at a distance of about
eight miles as the weather was hay.
The German torpedo boats and des-
troyers were more effective than the
British accounting to a considerable
extent for the successes for the Ger
mans against an overwhelmingly Su-
perior force.

Two more blows struck the trading

this week when George K DeMun,
proprietor of big suburban grocery
on West Sixth avenue, quit the green
trading stamps and Olson and Vic
lund, another of the larger suburban
stores, discontinued the use of surety
coupons.
Apparently the trading stamp bust
ness among Topeka's grocers is on the
rum" says the Merchants Journal.
There is really only one big grocery
in town which is patronizing any of
the stamp companies now.
1.-THE grocers of Topeka are finding
out. by bitter experience, that they
can't give trading stamps and have
anything left. The margin is too
small, the way the modern grocery is
run
The following statement was given
out by Mr.. DeMun when he discon-
dnued the use of the stamps:
II have never altogether believed
that giving trading stamps was consist
ent with good business principles, and
after a fair trial am convinced"

"Saints and Sinners"

A breezy Famous Players-Para-
mount play in five parts introducing
for the first time in pictures the pop
ular English star, Peggy Hyland.
Under direction of James Kirkwood,
a plot none too new has been developed
into a play OF unusual effectiveness
Lefty Fletcher, daughter of a minis
ter and sweetheart of George Kings
mill, a farmer, is decoyed to New
York, by INSCRIPTIONS Captain Fan
Shave, and compromised. Her escapade
which she believed had ended harm
lessly results in the dismissal of her
father. George Kingsrnill goes West
and becomes wealthy. Then he re-
turns to marry Lefty, just as the peni-
tent congregation asks the minister to
return to his charge.
From this plot, Director Kirkwood
has obtained a film that conveys an
atmosphere oil impressing freshness
Miss Hyland as Lefty has not a weak
moment throughout the play. She is
supported by an excellent cast which
includes Albert Tavernier as the cid
minister
