FRANCE ABANDONS LAW
Follows EngIand's Lead in Revising
Maritime War Rule.

Paris, July s.-The French govern
ment. following the example of Great
Britain, has abandoned the dec1ara-
ton of London as an Interpretation of
maritime law. A decree to that effect
appears in this mornings official
journal.
A memorandum accompanying the
decree says that the rules of the Lon
don declaration were adopted by the
entente allies at the beginning of the
war, but that experience has shown
that they did not give the results ex-
pected either in securing to bellig-
erents full exercise of their rights or
affording adequate guarantees to neu-
trails. Consequently, the memoran-
dunn continues, circumstances obliged
the allies to modify the rules of the
declaration. But these successive
notifications lead to false interpreta-
tons Of the allies motives therefore
/ they decided it were better to return to
the original rules of international laws
as generally accepted.
In SO doing, the memorandum con-
cludes, the allies declare uolemnly they
will continue to observe the principles
rigidly, respecting lives and property
of neutrals and being ready to make
compensation for any unjustifiab BILE
damage caused to bona fide mer-
chants.

MULVANE WAS LIBERAL
Well known Topelxan Gives 500 for
National Guard Games.

That members of the Kansas Ma
tional Guards might not be delayed in
receiving necessary recreation equip
ment, a check for 500 has been sent
by D. w. Mulvane of Topeka. former
Republican national committeeman.
The 500 was the amount needed for
Battery A and the Second Regiment
band. The money was forwarded by
Mr. Mulvane to prevent delays.
Recently an appeal was sent out by
James A Kimball of Salina for funds
for recreation equipment for the Kan
sas guardsmen. Money was needed
for the purchase of baseballs, boxing
gloves, chess and checker boards and
other games. Funds were also. sought
for a recreation tent in which 500
camp chairs might be placed. Topeka
was asked to give 500.
Pending the delays always Incl
dental to the collection of private
subscriptions. the Topeka man today
forwarded his personal check for the
full amount needed to provide To-
peka members of the guard with
recreation supplies. Today Mulvane
expressed little concern about the
money which he sent for the guards
men.
IF any one wants to send in sub
scriptions for the fund, the money
will be received said the man who
was painted wearing horns in the
recent national committeeman fight.
But the boys needed the supplies and
l merely sent my personal check for
the amount to Mr.. Kimball. I didn't
fhink the boys should be compelled
to wait until subscription papers were
circulated"

AN ARMY ORDER BOOM
Many Lines of Business Busy With
q. s. Military Contracts.

New York, July s.-Dun's review
today says:
Competitive buying has abated and
business moves under reduced mo-
mentum, though with surprisingly lit
tie shrinkage in its volume. This is
the period of all others when a decid-
ed halt is to be expected, as many
plants ordinarily stop for needed re-
pairs and inventories and vacations
quiet In commercial channels. Yet
this year is an exception and much
less than the customary 1ul1 is now
apparent, while indications fore
shadow unusual activity throughout
the summer. Instead of being at low
ebb, as is often the case at this time,
production is maintained close to the
| record maximum and enforced shut
downs at manufacturing works will,
as a rule, be of short duration.
Operations, however, continue to
be hampered by the scarcity of la
: Dor and other drawbacks and it is still
the fact that some mills are turning
contracts away that cannot be filled
as promptly as buyers want. This is
particularly true of cotton and wooden
| lines, in which important government
| needs have accumulated the difficult
ties in making early deliveries on ordi-
nary requirements.
| Large orders for army shoes have
also impaired stimulus to footwear and
leather, while. in steel and iron the
sustained heavy foreign demands tend
to offset the contraction in strictly do
nestle business. Further price reces-
sions have occurred in the metal mar
ket and in some other quarters.

Up Monday Night.

Newton, July S.-With the return
of DR.. J. w. Graybill from California,
immediate steps will be taken to COM
plete the organization of the new

Forty of the best young men of

tered into service by the latter part
of next week.

! Crop of Spuds.

Lawrence, Kan, July s. The Kaw
valley is pouring another channel OF
wealth into the pockets of It's farmers
this week, the potato harvest having
been begun in earnest. So Tar the
prospects for a crop above the average

and unless there should be too much
moisture in the next couple of weeks,
they will be fully realized.
Digging began in a number OF places
in the valley yesterday and shipping
has been started both at Eudora and
Linwood. The average yield so far
has been around $50 bushels to the
acre. For the past few years the
average has been around 100 to 125
bushels. The price paid today is so
cents a bushel but there are many
factors that affect the market, espe-
cially during the digging season.
