The Isolation Of the President.

President Wilson, in his just pub
lisned book. THE President Of the

extraordinary isolatfoa imposed upon
the president by our system that
makes the character and opportunity
Of his office so extraordinary. "In

Clash of National Association

BOTH TO GIVE LUNCHEONS
One in Honor of Mrs. o. III. p.

The Other for Mrs. Carrie

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait of New
York, is coming to Topeka next week
as a counter attraction to Mrs. O. FL.
p. Belmont. 1t is revival of the old
row among suffrage leaders and club
women. Today plans are being pre-
pared both by members of the con-
gressional union and the national suf-
frage association which mean new sor-
row sources for the women who VIII
participate in the big suffrage demon
stration in Topeka April II.
When the suffrage special from
Washington arrives in Topeka Wednes-
day morning, an antagonistic organi-
Zation of Kansas club women will be
ready to discount the show. Under the
direction of officers of the congress
sional union, a special train will bring
Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont and score of
other prominent suffrage leaders to
Kansas. But Kansas women will not
be unanimous in their reception of the
Belmont special Mrs. Gait, perhaps
equally prominent in suffrage circles
of the nation, is coming to Topeka TO
discount, if possible, the Belmont at
traction.
Every phase of the old row which
recently caused a state wide split
among Kansas club women and suf-
frage workers, will be revived during
the demonstration in Topeka. The

Chicago. April 6.--With a contin-
ued shortage of milk in prospect un-
less the strike of producers in the
Chicago district is settled soon the
milk war today assumed a more seri-
Gus aspect. Most distributors yester-
day made full deliveries to small con-
sumers, but advised customers to pur-
chase a supply of condensed milk as it
is feared that the supply of fresh milk
will be exha usted within a day or two
if the strike is not settled
The Bowman company of Wood
stock ILL.,. last night appealed to the
circuit court for an injunction to stop
the picketing by which the farmers
have tied up most of the deliveries.
Judge DonneIly, to whom the appli-
cation was made, issued a writ for
bidding intimidation by violence and
interference with the Bowman prop
erty but declared he could not stop
peaceful picketing'' on the part of
the farmers.

Drove OFF RESCUE
French Admiral Says U-BOat
GlOated Over Victim.
Declares Many Saw Wake of
Sussex Torpedo.

Washington, April 6.-With the en-
tire marine situation hinging upon
Germany's attitude in regard to the
Sussex and other serious marine dis
asters officials today awaited with
interest the response from the Berlin
foreign office to inquiries made by
Ambassador Gerard.
The accumulation of evidence indi-
eating that German submarines were
responsible for the disasters is under
stood to have convinced officials that
it is up to the Berlin government to
demonstrate the value of promises
given the United States. The situation
was the subject of conference at the
White House last night between Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing.
To the many reports from abroad
indicating that the British channel
steamer Sussex was torpedoed with
out warning today was added a graph
ic story of the wreck contained in a re-
port by Rear Admiral Grasset to the
French general staff, made public at
the French embassy. The report de-
clares that the Sussex was unarmed.
that the attack was premeditated, that
the wake of a torpedo was seen by
many of those on board and that the
subma rine must have remained in
the ighborhood of the Sussex in or
der to torpedo any ship which might
come to the rescue OF her victim"
Was German Torpedo.
Washington, April 6.-The Ameri-
can army attaches who were appointed
to examine the pieces of metal found
on the channel packet Sussex have re-
ported their investigation shows the
pieces to be parts of a German tor
pedo. The findings of the attaches
were based on a comparison of the
metal pieces with the structure of cap
tured German tOrpedOeS in Paris
