Plans so far announced include a
speech in Denver with second speech
in Kansas City. 1t is believed that Re-
publican campaign managers may be
speech in Kansas. If this state is Civ
en- a speech. Topeka will most likely
land it, although Salina Republicans
have sought the date.
D. w. Malvane, former Republican
national committeeman stated today
that he believed there was a strong
chance to secure a Hughes meeting in
Topeka if the Kansas City date be held
on the presidential candidates itin-
erary- The question of Topeka
meeting will be presented to national
leaders in charge of Judge Hughes's
speaking enga gements.
Still in the Air.
1.-The date of Judge Hughes's Kansas
City meeting is so indefinite, at this
time, that it is impossible to foresee
the success Kansas would have in an
effort to bring him to Topeka said
Mulvane. "If the Kansas City speech
be assured, 1 am quite certain Kansas
will get at least one speech. The mat
| ter will doubtless be presented to the
speaking committee at an early date.
But until some definite program is
outlined. it is hard to determine our
success
One announcement sent from the
Hughes headquarters is to the effect
tIldt Juuge auSneS Will travel only on
regular trains. This plan includes a
jump from Denver to Kansas City
over the Union Pacific. No rear plat
form speeches are to be included in
the trip and the presidential candidate
is said to have asked to be assigned
not more than two speeches a day.
With Denver-Kansas City jump,
however it is believed that Topeka
will land a speech.
In event the presidential candidate
is brought to Topeka, members of the
Republican state committee and party
leaders will seek to make the meeting
the banner attraction of the campaign
in this state With Hughes as an at
traction it is probable that Repub-
licans and Progressives would stage a
big harmony meeting in Topeka Null
vane and other men prominent in the
affairs of the Republican party in
Kansas will work with Fred E. Stan
ley of Wichita, present national COM
mitteeman, in an effort to land the
Hughes meeting. The matter will be
presented to the national committee
heads in advance of the preparation of
the formal itinerary for the western
tour

President Wilson and his cabinet.
The session was expected to mark
the second step by the president in
working out his Mexican policy.
Primarily, the cabinet had for con-
sideration Secretary Lansing's formal

gotiations, and it was understood, in
dicates the Willingness of this govern
ment to go a long way in helping re-
store the shattered republic.
Problems Before Cabinet.
Other problems of prime Importance
before the cabinet were:
F'irst-What is to be done about
guarding the border and permitting
Carranza to establish a partial patrol
in cantonments on his side of the line
Second-What to do about sending
militiamen on the border to their
homes with the incidental increase in
the regular army to fill their places.
Third-And basically most import
ant what to do to place Mexico on a
firm footing among the nations.
Can't Encourage Bankers.
With respect to the latter, the ad
ministration feels that it cannot at
present encourage bankers to extend
aid to Mexico. But it is hopeful Car
rama can now take a strong guiding
hand which will ensure a stable gov
ernment ultimately and thus afford
the opportunity for American financial
aid,
one hundred million dollars, accord
ing to high government official, would
be the salvation of the stricken nation,
if it could be obtained upon other than
confiscatory terms. The great fear is,
however, that loan sharks may de-
mand Mexico as their collateral
proposition which Carranza would
heartily reject and which the admin
istration will not support.
To encourage Carranza in establish
ing his government and to work out a
scheme of financial assistance which
will not extort blood money from Mex
leo, was the big administration prob
lem

Record Shows j. j. Kings Stolen Car
Was Driven 500 Miles.

George Lauman, brought back from
Kansas City Thursday night by Sheriff
I. L. Kiene, admitted on the way
home, Kiene said today, that he stole
j. j. Kings Ford last Sunday night
He was caught in the car by Kansas
City police, because he and three COM
panions insisted upon discharging
firearms while driving along the
peaceful boulevards.
Lauman was arraigned in the court
OF Topeka today and after the states
evidence had been taken waived the
remainder of the preliminary. He will
be tried, not on the charge of stealing
the King car, but upon a burglary
charge brought more than a month
ago. He was out on $500 bond when
he disappeared with the car.
In his conversation with Kiene,
Lauman stated that there were three
other men with him when he took
the car; that they first drove to Wa
mego, then on to Manhattan. The
Fourth they drove back to Topeka
He said he spent the night here and
drove to Kansas City July 5.
J. J. King, owner of the car, went
TO Kansas City to drive it home. Mrs
King went with him and they ex-
They found the car in bad shape
Temporary repairs were made in Kan
sas City and they started home be-
fore dark. They reached Topeka after
daylight today and stopped at every
repair shop along the road.
The speedometer showed the car
had been driven about 500 miles from
the time it was stolen until it was re-
covered.

mer maids with dimpled knees must
stop parading the beach in chorus girl
aquatic costumes. This was the order
handed down. the first reform edict
of the season, and today the mackin-
tosh man is saving the modesty of the

cops have been appointed censors of
beach raiment. Coming from the de-

is regarded as sinister.

and nearer its maximum intensity
The nightiest exertions are being
made on all sides to force decision
and the tension can scarcely become
higher
After summarizing numerous Off
cial reports the correspondent con-
tinues:
'-It still is too early for a final YER
dict upon the situation as the strug-
giles on the principal fronts still are
in progress. The Germans, however
report to have been able TO hold up
the enemy's advance on the west as
well as on the south and east. Neither
the British. French, Russians nor
Italians have attained large or decisive
successes, while in places where the
central powers have assumed the Of
fensive, as in Volhynia, other opera
tions have been conducted with sue
cess.
TeutOns Have Assurance.
This success enables us to look for
ward with certain amount of assur-
ance and with calm confidence to fur
ther developments of the fighting
We do not dare, however to overlook
the fact that our opponents are max
ing mighty efforts and are throwing
in all available forces to attain sue
cess Our troops on all the fronts are
faced by numerically superior forces
and therefore are confronted with the
prospect of further heavy fighting"
The correspondent devotes consid-
eraply more space to the combats on
the east than on the west, declaring
that the Russian attacks against Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, Prince Leo
pold and Count Won Bothmer gave
every evidence from the masses of
troops employed that an offensive on
a larger scale is contemplated. He
adds that the fighting along Won Hin
denburgs front is still in progress but
asserts that the attack against Prince
Leopold's armies appears to have been
finally and decisively repulsed with
the heaviest losses.
The fighting continues on the upper
Stripa, he says, and the Russians
were able to cross the river nd gain
a foothold in one place but the counter
attack already has begun. The Rus
slams were thrown back in Volhynia
and on the Stripa front, he concludes.
and the victory at Tlumach, south of
the Dneister, is increasing in extent.

The Note.
The text of the note, addressed to
Mr.. Arredondo, follows:
Sir: 1 have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your COM
munication of July 4, 1916, in which
you transcribe a note addressed to
me by the secretary of foreign rela-
tions of your government and to re-
quest that you will transmit to him
the following reply:
Mr.. Secretary: 1 have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senior ArredOndO on the 4th instant
in which you refer to my notes of
June 20 and June 25 and to assure
you of the sincere qualification of my
government at the frank statement of
the difficulties which have unfortu-
nately arisen in our relation along
the international boundary, and the
unreserved expression of the desire OF
your government to reach an adjust
ment of these difficulties on a broad
and amicable basis. The same spirit
of friendship and of solicitude for the
continuance of cordial relations be-
government which equally desires an
immediate solution of the matters of
difference which have long vexed
both governments.
Ready to Mediate.
ut is especially pleasing to my gov
ernment that the de facto government
of Mexico is disposed to give quick as
well as practical consideration in a
spirit of concord to the remedies
which may be applied to the existing
conditions. Reciprocating the same
desire, the government of the United
States is prepared Immediately to ex-
change views as to a practical plan to
remove finally and prevent a recur-
renee of the difficulties which have
been the source of the controversy.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the renewed
assurances of my highest considera-
ton.
I am sir, yours very sincerely,
(Signed) ROBERT LANSING
Polk Will Act for e. S.

ably will be carried on through in

redondo and Councillor Polk, who will

next month. Secretary Lansing leaves
