 Germany is now having an oppor- tunity of appreciating in the Baltic what the new types of British submar- ines can do. The official German ac- count of the sinking of the cruiser Prince Adalbert stated that two tor pedoes were fired at. and struck her at the same time, showing that the new British submarines are able to fire two torpedoes abreast.

They are more quick ly submersible. They stay out for twice the length of time claimed for the biggest German submarine craft Their speed, both on and under the water, is substantly increased. They carry heavier guns and more ammun- lion.
 At the Walker yards on the Tyne is a new battleship, an improved and more powerful Queen Elizabeth. She is being made ready to leave in a couple of days for her trials. Her IL inch guns can be fired with greater rapidity than those of any other bat tier.
 This ship has been completed, arm ed and equipped in period so short that it would have been deemed i'm possible before the war.
 All the ways at the yards are oc- cupied by war vessels. Among them is a battle cruiser, which in point of speed and armament far excels any that has yet been floated. Her design was decided on in January and she is now ready for launching.

Monday afternoon the State Journal
announced that Commissioner w. L.
Porter had a job at the city sewage
disposal plant for an engineer; a job
that would pay from $50 to 500
month. Porter was absolutely aston
ished at the number of unemployed
engineers in Topeka today. There
were two applicants on hand when he
reached the office this morning and
candidates continued to arrive until
noon. Several of the applicants in
dicated by answers to questions that
they might be qualified for the job
Porter has. But majority of them
were simply looking for jobs and have
slight chance of consideration in con-
nection with the position. In several
instances Porter took names and ad-
dresses.
Il am not particularly looking for a
locomotive engineer" said Porter.
That isn't the kind of an engineer
want. A locomotive engineer will
know all about how to burn coal and
that's what 1 want to get away from.

A delegation from the Commercial
club left Topeka at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon for Chicago to interview
Rock Island officials there with a view
of obtaining some department for this

relative to the amount of freight and
passenger traffic supplied by Topeka
to the Rock Island. While none of the
delegation would reveal the exact de-
tails to be presented to Rock Island
officials it is known that comparative
figures will reveal that the Rock Is
land has obtained its full share of pas
senger and freight traffic out of To-
peka.
There is nothing known here def
initely at this time" said j. Will KEEL

an opportunity to get one or two of
the several departments which may be
removed from Chicago"
1t is most generally supposed that
the offices of the car accountant and
freight auditor will be those moved
here, If any, although there is some
talk of the o. S. & D. office coming
here. About ESQ men are employed in
the freight auditors office and 100 in
the car accountants department.

SAID President Elliott this morning,
although 1 believe we have a chance
to get some office here"
There will be no buster or talk

Chicago tomorrow morning by Jacob

1T JUST Wheeled
EImont Farmer Couldn't Start Tractor
Now He Sues Maker.

Last August, Clarence Wendell of Ell
mont purchased a tractor engine-said
tractor, he claims, being guaranteed to
run with kerosene. For the machine
he alleges he paid the Emerson
Birmingham Tractor company of Hi
nois $4,000.
Wendell received the machine just in
time for the fall blowing. He claims
to have paid $500 down and 500
freight. Then he took it to the field,
filled up the tank with kerosene, and
twirled the fly wheel Instead of the
exhaust responding with the expected
rifle like reports there was a hoarse
wheeze as the cylinder head settled
back against the compression. Then
he tried it again, he says, and others
tried to start the engine. Finally, he
says, he sent it back to the company.
Making the foregoing allegations,
Wendell filed suit in the district court
this morning for recovery of his $500
and $4,000 damages. The tractor COM
pany is named defendant.

ACTION IS HELD UP
County Commissioners Fail to Get To-
gether on Successor to Belts.

A new bugaboo in the shape of the
appointment of a successor to Paddy"
Belts. superintendent of the county
poor farm, is looming up for the
county commissioners. The commits
sioners have been shying at the APP
pointment since January 3 when
it and others were due.
At a meeting late Monday afternoon
DR.. c. c. Lull was reappointed county
health officer and physician and
Walter Arnold was appointed county
engineer. There was no secrecy about
the expectations of the commission
to appoint the latter two officials. It
house for weeks.
However, the appointment of the
superintendent of poor is not so easy
Each commissioner has a candidate.
At Monday afternoons meeting,
Boyd Pollom nominated f. E. Palmer
Fred Nipps nominated W. H. Will
liams. j. C. Sinner nominated L. s.
Moore. The commissioners looked the
situation over and then put the cleo
ton of the official off until the next
meeting day.
Men familiar with county affairs
see trouble ahead for the commission.
In the past it has always been the Gus
tom to give the job of poor superin-
tendent to a North Topeka man.
Should Commissioner Pollom agree to
the appointment of a south side man,
his voters 'over home" may have
some unkind expressions to make, re-
garding his conduct.

missioner of the poor, is not a candi-
date for reappointment. He will be
