German Navy to Be Strengthened to

Berlin, Germany.-An appeal to the
German people to do all in their
power to provide German troops in
the field with sufficient fighting ma
terials was issued by Gen. Won Stein,
the new minister of war. 1t came Just
at the time the reichstag had taken
up the man power bill"
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz, in a
telegram acknowledging his nomina-
ton as an honor member of the Ger
man Navy Association, also pleaded
for a more powerful navy. He de-
clared that unless Germany obtained
a position giving her equal rights
with the other powers of the world
German life will be dwarfed and
perish"
The Overseas News Agency, in an
article on the Somme front situation,
tells of the finding of orders on
French and British soldiers notifying
them that they would be shot if they
attempted to retreat during a battle.
During the British rush on Thiepval
machine guns were actually placed
behind the attacking soldiers for this
purpose, the article says.
This order, it Is said, is incompre-
hensible to German officers, for Ger.
man soldiers never have failed to
show their usual bravery in time OF
battle.

Jefferson City.

J6llSIbOh Sllys
At a conference of the newly elect
ed state officials and members of the
legislature at the Planters Hotel to
consider tho penitentiary problem,
Governor-elect Frederick d. Gardner
made public for the first time the de-
ficit in state revenues, amounting to
$2,074, 804.35; outlined a plan for rails
ing several millions Of dollars annual
ly to pay off the deficit and meet the
growing requirements of the state;
suggested the creation of a board of
management for all the state penal
institutions and purchase Of a $1,000
acre farm, to be worked by first Of
tenders, and which would provide
food supplies for all the state institu-
tons.
In his address to the conference
Gardner said that the question Of
raising moro revenue was one OF the
great problems that had to be met
and solved. In addition Of the ga
074.e04 in approved and unpaid bills,
which the state is now behind, he
said It was estimated that there
would be additional bills Of $250,000
by Jan. 1, making a total deficit Of
$2,324,804.35. There is 100000 on
hand in the general revenue fund, he
said, and it was estimated that $780,
900 would be collected by Jan. 1.
THE receipts from all sources to
date have been 1904 ,972.61, and with
the 100000 to be taken in by Jan.
1, the total will be increased to $5,-
6S4,s72. OF which $2,945,O00 has been
or will be expended upon the educa-
tional institutions of the state, and
the public schools, leaving only about
$2,5O0,O00 for all other state activi-
ties. Now that is the financial ex-
hibit of the state.
II am glad to make it public. While
am governor the people of the state
are going to be taken into my con-
fidence and given full information
about their affairs"

Athens, Greece.-King Constantine
acting in the capacity of commander
in-c'def of the army, has called a
council of the officers at the head
quarters of the First Army Corps.
The decision Of the crown council
to support the government in oppos-
ing the demands Of the entente allies
for the surrender of arms and NUM-
lions probably will be formulated into
a verbal note for delivery to Vice Ad-
miral Du Fournet, commander of the

TO SEEK HIGH COSTS CURE.
CONGRESS WILL TAKE UP MAT
TER IMMEDIATELY.
Food Embargo and Non.SpecuIatiVe
Law Will Be Placed Before
Lawmakers.

Washington, D. C-Evidence con-
tinues to pile up here that congress
is going to spend considerable
of its precious time in the coming
short session looking for a high-cosI-
of-living panacea.
Here are some of the remedies
which early arrivals at the capital
have suggested, and which they say
they will push In resolutions to be
introduced:
An embargo on all foodstuffs.
A law compelling those who store
foodstufts for speculative purposes to
dispose Of 10 per cent of their hold
ings every 80 days at prevailing
prices.
Investigation of the entire question
of high prices, either by the Federal
Trade Commission or a special joint
congressional committee, which will
recommend legislation suggested by
it's findings.
Embargo Idea Strong.
That the president and his cabinet
will strongly favor the last suggestion,
senators and representatives say, is
a foregone conclusion. The president
has discussed the high cost of living
frequently with his cabinet advisers,
and he is taking deep interest in the
work of the postoffice, commerce
and agricultural departments along
this line.
The embargo idea, besides having
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York TO lead it, will have the strong
backing of many other congressman.
Representative Jeff McLemore said he
favors it, and that he has interviewed
or heard by mail from many others
who will do the same.
However, no food embargo will be
established without a bitter legisla
tive fight Many urban representa-
tives are expected to line up for it
but representatives from rural dis
tricts have announced they will fight
it to the last.

SIEGEL'S NEW STORE FAILURE
Enterprise, Started by FeIon to Pay
Off Debts, Put Out of
Business.

New York, N. Y.-The new store
with which Henry Siegel proposed to
earn the money to pay off the $4,000
depositors who lost their savings
through the failure of his private
banking establishment, will close its
doors.
Siegel said the condition of the
streets about his place at Thirty-fifth
street and Broadway made it impossi-
BILE for trade to reach the store. The
concern, he said, is solvent.
Siegel launched the enterprise on
his release from prison, where he
served 10 months on the charge of
making false statements to obtain
credit.

SEEK SAFETY IN FLIGHT
TO JuAREZ.
BABES BORN ON BATTLEFIELD
Many Civilians Sacrificed In Bloody
Fight-Villa Stays Two Follow
ers for Looting-Foreigners
Thought to BE safe.

Juarez, Mexico.-The remnants OF
a Carranzsta army, which fled from
Chihuahua City after a battle with
Villa troops, are in camp on the plains
south of Juarez. They brought with
them here the story of the evacuation
of the city after four days and nights
of fighting. The dead we're piled
high in the streets and had been COW
cred with oil and burned, they said.
The troops brought back many of
their fleldpleces. Women camp fol-
covers shared in the retreat. Some
of them had children, said to have
been born on the battlefield.
There we're also a number of civil
Ian refugees on the train, but none
Of them Americans and none Of
those who arrived here knew posi-
lively of the Americans fate when
villa took possession of Chihuahua
City.
Between the cemetery and Santa
Rosa Hill the dead covered the
streets, many having died days be-
fore. All along the streets near the
railroad station and surrounding the
station one refugee said he saw many
cavalry horses with carbines and sa-
bers attached to the saddles, the Car
rama cavalrymen having abandoned
them in order to leave the city on the
troop train.
Many Civilians Killed.
Along Zarco avenue, according to
the refugees, the fighting had been
fiercest, and many civilians had been
killed there and in other parts of the
city by shell and rifle fire. The
houses lining this street were pitted
with the bullet marks of the battle,
Syrian refugee said, and many shell
holes were to be seen in the houses
In the heart Of the city.
To obtain medicines for his
wounds, Villa is said to have broken
into two drug stores in the city after
he had penetrated the business Sec
ton.
Thinking this action meant the be-
ginning of looting, Villa bandits broke
into stores and private homes, the
refugee said. Villa, to stop this loot
ing, is said to have shot two Of his
followers and succeeded in stopping
the pillaging.
George Birmingham, an American,
was seen at the station in Chihuahua
City, but did not get away on the last
train. All of the refugees agree that
there had ben no killing of foreign
ers up to the time they had depart
ed, although there were rumors that
several Chinese had been killed.

Women Demand Reforms.

Eight members of the Women's
Prison Reform League, headed by
Mrs. Henry Ness of Kansas City, con-
ferred with Frederick d. Gardner,

proposed reforms in the state peni-
Tertiary in Jefferson City. The league

ditions in the penitentiary were made
public. The league has 5000 men,
bers.
The discovery that nearly 1000 of
the prisoners in the penitentiary were

power of parole.
The establishment and enforcement
of civil service in prison manage
ment, making the tests for officers
