CITY CAN'T dun" US
At Last Postoffice Department Rules
Out Post Cards.

Because the postoffice department
has ruled it a violation of the postal
laws the city waterworks will cease,
beginning this month, sending out wa
ter statements on post cards where a
delinquency is shown. The post card
statements showing current bills will
go out through the mails as usual.
There is a postal regulation which
prohibits sending a dun" through the
mail on a postal card or otherwise if
it holds any distinguishing marks.
The waterworks has been sending out
the monthly statements for years with
delinquent payments due marked
plainly thereon. The information that
it was a violation of the law came
through the Topeka postoffice.
Arrangements have been made for
the distribution of the cards showing
delinquencies. They will be distrib-
uted by an employee of the depart
ment and Frank Newland, city com
missioner, stated today that the ex-
perience to date indicates that the
work can be done cheaper this way
than under the old system. A man
drawing two dollars a day distributed
279 such bills in one day, which
amounted to saving of seventy-nine
cents.

To Deny Church Charge OF
Atrocities in Belgium.

Paris, Feb. ia special dispatch
from Rome says that the cardinals
and bishops of Germany and Austria
are preparing a collective statement
in answer to the letter of the Belgian
bishops.
A letter dated Nov. "a. 1915, and
signed by Cardinal MERCER, arch
bishop of Malines, and by the other
members of the Belgian Catholic
episcopate, the bishops of Client
Bruges. Namur Liege and Journal
was addressed to the cardinals and
bishops of Germany, Bavaria and
Austria Hungary and contained an
appeal in the name of their common
religion for truth and justice for the
clergy and faithful of Belgium An
appendix gave, it was stated, official
documents and minutes to prove the
assertions of intolerable wrongs made
in the letter. Italian newspapers
have stated that one of the purposes
of Cardinal Mercier's present visit to
Rome was to request Pope Benedict to
appoint a board of inquiry to investi-
gate the assertion made in the letter
of the Belgian bishops in order to
establish their accuracy but Catholic
newspapers of Rome have declared
that this was no part OF the cardinals

spring the trap. Stearns is a staunch
churchman and opposed to capital
punishment, but he says that he has
accepted the office he holds and there
is nothing for him to do but do his
duty and take the responsibility.

Dressed in their best, faces glowing
with anticipation of the good things to
come, canes gai1y decorated, Rotarian
ties screaming, conversational hose
displayed and attracting enVious
chances from bright female eyes, To-
peka Rotarians left the Santa Fe sta

st. Joseph to attend the district meet
ing. Rotarian homes in Topeka were
glowing with light at an early hour
many months the Lord and Master
of the household was the first one up
and frantic search for socks. clean
underwear, collars and cuff buttons
kept everyone within ear shot busy.
By o'clock all Rotarians had ar
rived at the depot and a count of
noses began. All of those named in
yesterdays State Journal made the
trip and Joe Longshore was an addi-
ton. He was fairly dragged to the
depot.
Charles L. Mitchell of Crane & Co,
arrived yesterday from a weeks trip
to Texas and told everyone he couldn't
go. However, George Godfrey Moore
had various members of the club keep
the Mitchell telephone busy until mid
night when Mr.. Mitchell in order to
get some much needed sleep promised
to make the trip.
George Godfrey Moore, conductor,
announced that several stunts were to
be staged on the trip to St. Joseph. B.
B. Eitelman volunteered to act as
newsboy and sell some junk he had in
a suit case. Moore told him to go
ahead and then made arrangements
for other Rotarians to take the money
away from him.
The thirty third degree Of Rotary
was to be given some of the members
and many other features were prom
ised to make the trip merry and SEEM
ingly short. RotarianS warned their
conductor to keep off the platform at

think a troupe of actors was passins
through.

u. s. Submarines Are Too Small

Satisfactory Engines for L. s.
"Subs" Not Yet Developed.

washington. Feb. 15.-Abandon-
ment of the coast defense type of sub

Grant. before the house naval COM
mittee. Limitation of cruising radius,

ne said, made it advisable 70 pulu
only submersibles of the 1000 ton
fleet submarine type of which three
have been authorized and none is yet
complete
"The others are too small to be
adequately servfceable," he said. Ad-
miral Grant said he had positive
knowledge that German boats from
U-3g to U-5S inclusive displaced 500
tons on the surface as against 45O
tons for the X boats of the American
navy. the largest in the service lot
months the German boats, he said,
had operated out of Heligoland around
Scotland at a distance of 1900 miles
from their base. It took them nine
days to make the round trip, he said,
and they remained on the operating
station thirteen days unless driven to
base sooner through having used up
the torpedo supply. Three of these
u boats. he said could keep the cycle
working so one was always on the
thing. h added. the United States
would require % K class boats be-
cause of their ten day service limita-
ton.
Should Have 30 Knot Speed.
Admiral Grant thought it unwise to
construct any submarine of less than
20 knot speed and said this could not
he done on a small boat. He urged
that the minimum size of future boats
be 500 tons surface displacement.
Admiral Grant said he had sent to
the general board a statement of his
opinion as to the military character
istic the future submarine should
have.
81 consider ten days to be the
limit Of time men should stay at sea
on a X boat of our largest type, and
that limit must be reduced for smaller
boats l repeat that ten days is the
sea and be at all effective. For
months the bigger submarines operat-
ed from HeligOland as a base, around
the coast of Ireland, a round trip of
1900 miles. They remain away from
base p days unless they have used
up their supply of torpedoes.
Need Better Engines.
IF we had no engine trouble and if
the X boats could make 2 knots an
hour, it would require twenty-five K
boats to do what three of the 500 ton
U boats did for months. Three U
boats would cost $2,50O,000 and %

Captain McKeen, assistant for ma
terial in the operation division of the

American submarine experiments had
not produced satisfactory engines or
motive power for submerged running
