What Effect viii European
Boycott Have on Z. S.!

Washington, July 10.-Chairman
Stone of the foreign relations COM
mittee, declared in the senate today
that unless the United States were
considered in any industrial alliance
of European nations, it will be neces-
sary for the country to adopt a definite
defensive policy.
Senator Stone was speaking on his
resolution asking the president to in
form the senate of the possible effect
on the United States of a boycott
against enemies of the entente allies
as proposed at a recent entente con-
ference in Paris.
Il cannot escape the conviction
that the war involved nations have in
mind a military policy to accomplish
objects of interest TO themselves and
not for the benefit OF the rest of the
world" said Senator Stone. There
is much talk of international agree
ment among the warning nations TO
work for themselves at the end of the
war, not only against their enemies.
but against the rest of the world.
1t would be only natural for the
Allies, if victorious, to turn incendiary
faces, and join in an effort to rebuild
their fortunes by some form of con-
certed action. 1 am profoundly inn
pressed with the idea that the United
States should be consulted when treat
les, great international treaties, are be-
ing made, affecting financial, COM
mercial, transportation and industrial
| interests of the world. Otherwise we
will be compelled to adopt a definite
defensive policy of our own"

riage; Uses Clutches.

Ell Paso, July 10.-Francisco Villa
appeared in Jininez after its capture
by bandits, according to La Demo-
crata, a Carranza organ published in
Chihuahua City, a copy which was
brought to FL Paso by travellers.
This paper states that after annihi-
lating the de facto force under General
Ramos at Correlitos, the Villa band
entered Jiminez, sacked the town, put
to death the Carranza officials and
gave the captured Carranza soldiers
their choice of joining their party or
of having their right ears chopped off.
Z Calixto Contreras was then in COM
mand. the paper says, but later Villa
entered the town in a carriage He
is pictured as having walked on
crutches and as having seemed badly
crippled in the legs.
: In this account the Villa force was
estimated at 1000 men.

ROAD TO DOVER?
Petitions Will Guarantee Brick
Highway to Topeka.
Commercial Club Members Will
Go to ESkridge.

Opportunity is knocking at the door
of Dover's citizens. All they must do
to get a $12,500 hard fibre brick road
for $4,000 is to pass petitions and
subscribe money according to the
Hodges road law.
A number of Commercial club mem
bers will unfold this opportunity to
Dover citizens tomorrow when they
pass through that town on their way
to Good Roads meeting at Esk-
ridge The citizens of Eskridge and
Council Grove will be present at the
meeting.
Recently a representative of the
Western Brick Manufacturers asso-
citation called upon j. VIII Kelley,
secretary of the Commercial club, ex-
ressed the belief that Kansas, espe-
cially this immediate part of Kansas,
states are years ahead in good road
construction. Further, he declared his
desire to get the people interested i'm
mediately in the construction of brick
roads.
To Prove His Case.
I'll tell you what 1 believe I can
get the association to do" said the
representative. I'll take the matter
up with the home office and see if
they won't agree to lay brick road
in Shawnee county at ne same price
that a concrete road would cost The
average concrete road costs about
900 a mile, the brick road S12,50O,
but in order to prove the wearing
qualities of the brick road. I think the
association will lay a specified stretch
of road for $4,000 a mile"
That representative is expected to
appear at the Commercial club at 8
o'clock tomorrow morning and travel
with the Good Roads boosters to Esk-
ridge. 1t is planned to give the Dover
people an opportunity to lay the road
from Topeka to Dover.
The real aim of the Good Roads trip
is to select a route for the Southwest
Trail. road running from Chicago
to the Gulf. The people of Dover wish
the trail to- run through that town.
Representatives from Auburn called
at the Commercial club this morning
and urged that the trail go through
Auburn and last week farmers living
south of Dover urged that the trail go
past their farms. The boosters will
stop at Dover on their return Journey
tomorrow evening

RAISE NOVEL ISSUE
Deutschland Doesn't Fill Require
ments of American Seaman Act

Washington, July 10.-The La Fol-
1ette seamans law might, if fully en-
forced, prevent the super-submarine
Deutschland from clearing an Ameri-
can port and starting back on her way
to Germany, Shipping Commissioner
Chamberlain said this afternoon in re-
Spouse to a query.
One section of the seamens law re-
quires every merchant vessel to carry
lifeboats and life RATS sufficient to
care for every person aboard. 1t is
believed the Deutschland cannot pos
sibly meet this requirement.
Another question is whether all he1
sailors are competent "A. B. s" able
seamen, with three years deck ex-

STOLE wedding AUTO
Ford Taken From in Front of Bank
This Morning.

A 1915 Ford belonging to DR.. w. H
Wedding, S12 West Eleventh street,
was stolen this morning in front of
the Central National bank building
Doctor Wedding discovered his loss
at noon. Il can offer no clue" he
said. IT thought at first that some
one had thought it was a baby buggy
and had pushed it home by mistake
But there was no perambulator left in
its place. The theory that a goat
had eaten it was exploded by the fact
that there were no whiskers in sight.
And as there was no other Ford to be
seen nobody could have driven it home
by mistake
The machine was 1915 model with
Red Cross in front. The machine
was not equipped with a speedometer.
The license number was 59,913 The
engine number was S31S57.
