KANSAS LOSING MONEY AND MEN

Estimates based on official figures
which are backed up by over the
state fl. ures of Kansas investigators
show that the people of Kansas are
sending out of the state in retail way
the enormous sum Of 70 million ool-
lars a year to buy goods which could
be bought in the state, ana Whlch III
nearly every instance could De bought
in the purchasers own home Town.
And here are some state population
figures which will be of interest IN
this connection: In 1912 sixty-elght
Kansas counties and 253 Kansas coun-
try towns and villages had fewer peo-
pie in them than they had twelve
months before in 1911. The state as d
whole lost seventeen thousand during
the twelve month period, yet the lar
ger cities of the state continued 20
increase in population. And, the ng-
ures for 1915 showed that in spite OF
the fact that the cities of Kansas had
continued to grow-had continued TO
increase in population-we had In
1915 in the state of Kansas 34,OOO less
people than we had in 1909, seven
wears ago. Out OF the state buying
means big business for the city-it
means increased population; it means
increased prosperity. 1t means more
iobs-it means more country boys
will be city wage earners-that fewer
country boys will be Kansas farm
owners Out Of the state buying
means ruin to the country communl-
tv: it means slow market at home
less retail trade-fewer local IN
ldustries-fewer jobs-a slump in pop
Acknowledgement property values
1t means a lack of community inter
est, loss of community spirit. IL
means dead towns to the state O
Kansas. Kansas men and Kansas
women who love their state shoult
urge their friends to stick by Kansa
institutions.

Fear of Publicity Results in Col
lection of Personal Tax
Thousands Due

Fear of publicity is proving most
excellent collector of delinquent per
sonal taxes. Some time ago The Tri-
bune announced in it's news columns
that the county commission had auth
orized Sheriff French to advertise all
delinquent personal tax. Since that
date the sheriff has been showered
with money from good citizens who DO
not care to have their delinquency
published.
Thousands are outstanding in delin-
quent personal taxes running as far
back as 1900. In many cases personal
taxes were assessed against temporary
residents, who left the county before
collection could be made. In other in
stances,it has simply been case Of
neglect. October 20 is the date set by
Sheriff French for the giving to the
world of the name OF Burleigh county

Two German air raids on the coast of England, the capture of Montene- gro's two principal seaports by the Austrians and the taking by the Ger mans of trenches from the French near Arras in the Argonne forest, are told of in the latest official communi- catioi.s of London, Vienna and Ber- lin.
 First one German and twelve hours later two German seaplanes flew over and dropped bombs on the east coast ofaKent. Nine bombs were dropped by the aeroplane. One man was killed and two men, one woman and three children were injured some damage was done to property. The raid of the aeroplanes was without effect, apparently. the London war of flee declaring that no damage was done and that no casualties had been reported. The aircraft in both in- stances escaped. although they were fired upon by the British guns and chased by British aviators.
 Antiyari and Dulcigno, on the Ardi- attic coast of Montenegro, have fallen into the hands of the Austrians, which leaves to King Nicholas only few miles of front on the sea and gives to the Austrians command of the coast from the Gulf of Trieste virtually to the Albanian frontier.
 Vienna reports that the Montene- grins continue to lay down their arms and that in addition 1500 Serbians have surrendered in the past few, days.. although semi70fficial conln1unfea- = ton says that a considerable portion. of the MontegergiH army has declined to surrender and that fierce fighting has been resumed in the mountain districts.
 Heasv tightinE has been in progress in France, q French advanced posi- tion on the road between Arras and Lens being attacked by strong Ger man forces. The infantry attack was preceded by mine explosions and a violent bombardment and the Ger mans captured a first line trench on a front of several hundred yards.
 French counter attacks were imme- diately inaugurated and portion of the captured trench was retaken. The Germans, however, at the close of the day occupied about 2G0 yards of the advanced trench which formed sali- ent in the French lines.
 The British forces in Mesopotamia going to the relief of Kut-el-Anara are being hampered by bad weather but fierce fighting, with varyinA suc- cess, is being indulged in by the Turkh. General Sir Percy Lake, the new British commander int chief, re- rorts that the casualties on both sides have been very heavy.
 The Russians are continuing their advance against the Turks in the Caucasus. Petrograd says the Turks are making a precipitate retreat in the region of Erzerum and that the Russians are capturing prisoners and ammunition and other supplies. The roads. are strewn with Turkish dead.
 The Russians also are on the offen- sive against the Teutons south of Dubno one of the Volhynian triangle of fortresses, and on the Dniester and Pruth rivers in East Galicia. At one point along the Pruth. Vienna says, the Austrians blew up a Russian tr.nch, killing nearly all of the 300 men 1t 1t.

INTERPRETATION OF CLAUSE
 OF UNDERWOOD TARIFF LAW
Governments Brief in Fourteen Cases
 Will Be Filed Today.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The govern ment's brief in fourteen cases inVolv
 ing the interpretation Of the clause of the Underwood tariff law giving discount of five per cent. in customs duties on goods imported in Amer ican ships will be filed in the supreme court tomorrow by Solicitor General Davis. Involved in the cases, which the government contends should be dismissed, are claims estimated by customs authorities at New York to amount to $26,000,000 as well as the question of whether granting such discount to goods imported only in American ships would violate the terms of more than twenty commer- cial treaties with some of the lead ing nations of the world.
 During the past two years the cases have been passed upon by the board of general appraisers at New York by the court of customs appeals and by officials of the administration charged with the enforcement of tariff laws. There has not been complete agree ment in the interpretations of any of these authorities. The court of GUS toms appeals, from which the cases reached the supreme court, held that the five per cent discount should be allowed not only on it's imports in American-owned or registered ships, but also on goods brought in the ves- sels of all nations with which the United States has commercial treaties.

NATIONAL FOREIGN TRADE
 CONVENTION AT NEW ORLEANS
Seven Hundred Accredited Delegates
 Expected to Be ir Attendance.

New York, Jan 23.-The third na- tional foreign trade convention to be held at New Orleans on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week will have seven hundred accredited dele gates in attendance in addition to many invited guests, according to statement made tonight by James A. Farrell, chairman of the national for eign trade council, under the auspices of which the convention will be held.
 The desire of American business men for truly national foreign trade policy" said MT. Farrell, 'is indicated by the large response to the national foreign trade councils call for the con- vention. This gathering is timely be- cause those who are engaged in over sea commerce and who find that a foreign outlet for their products both natural and manufactured is necessary to continued prosperity should seri- ously and constructively discuss ways and means to meet the competition which may be expected to prevail in markets after the war. That explains why commercial preparedness has been made the feat'are of the conven-
