Thus it happened when Korniloff's

there was no fighting.
On the contrary, the men on the
two sides fraternized. Not a shot was
fired. Men in the ranks of both sides

at length and then returned to their

a moment not to be a mistake, the

SMASHED A "SUB''
American Gunner Plants Shot
SquareIy on U-BOat.
Torpedo Previously Fired
Barely Missed Vessel.

An Atlantic Port, Nov. 8.-Informa-
ton that an American shell fired by
an American naval gunner. sank a
Teutonic submarine in the Mediterra-
mean is contained in report made to
the navy department by the officers
of an American freight steamship
which arrived here recently, it was
learned today. The vessel. of about
5000 tons gross, was returning from
an Italian port in ballast after taking
a cargo of war munitions from Amer
lea to Italy. A report of her narrow
escape from a torpedo was recently
made public but the fate Of her at
tacker was not mentioned.
The torpedo was discovered ap-
preaching from the starboard side an
hour before nightfall and the crew,
expecting an explosion, hurried to the
port rail, arriving in time to see the
torpedo emerge from under the ship
and pass harmlessly on.
The naval gunners had remained at
their posts. The periscope of a sub
marine appeared above the water, the
U-boat captain apparently being I'M
aware that the torpedo had gone un-
der the freighter. With no cargo she
was riding high in the water. Three
shells from the ships bow gun and
two from her stern gun missed the
submarine, but the sixth, from the
stern gun, struck it at the base of the
periscope, according to the officers
report. There was an explosion which
shattered the submersible and she
sank with all on board.

MENINGITIS AT CAMP
Six Deaths at Funston-Officers,H How
ever, Are Not Alarmed.

Canp Funston Kan, Nov S.-Altho
you can hear almost anything, any
time, about spinal meningitis and 9TH
er diseases in Camp Funston, Lieut..
Col. ]. L. Shepard, division surgeon,
declares the situation here is no worse
than was to be expected in camp of
this size.
At present according to Col. Shep-
ard, there have been close to a hun
dred carriers" men who carry the
disease, yet do not really have it, who
have been sent to the base hospital
for treatment.
There are also numerous cases of
pneumonia, and measles is spreading
fast. The base hospital has virtually
all it can accommodate and many men
are in the infirmaries and the bar
racks. More than a score of COM
panies are in quarantine.
The medical officers are using ev-
cry means to fight the disease. There
are no more cases of meningitis in
camp than there would be under or
binary circumstances in any city the
size of Camp Funston. About 2 u per
cent of the men are sick, which is not
at all high average. The minute
man is discovered with any contagious
disease he is taken to the hospital
and every man with whom he has
been in contact is examined and treat
ed. Then the company is quaran-
tined to protect other men. The ill
ness here cannot be called an cpl
demic.
Five of the reported dead are: Sam
J. Martin, Willis Tace, Carl Jarboe,
Elmer ]. Merrell and Virgil Ford.
Virgil Ford was a Topeka man, hav-
ing worked at the Santa Fe shops.
His father, F. V. Ford, was also en-
ployed at the shops. Mrs Ford, his
mother, died several years ago. He
lived at 1892 Tyler street.
Ford went to Camp Funston with
the Arkansas City, Kan, quota of the
national army.

The Trading Stamp.

From Jackson Examiner.
The Missouri Association of
Fair Dealers is backing a bill in
the Missouri legislature to put
the common form of trading
stamp out of business in this
state. The bill has been report
ed favorably from both the COM
mittee in the House and in the
Senate. 1t will come up in a few
days for engrossment. You
nigh help abolish an abuse
which effects the small buyer in
proportion more than any other
class, by urging your members in
the legislature to support this
bill. 1t should be passed and
Missouri take an advanced
stand beside many other states
which have abolished this insid-
ious abuse.
Remember you can not get
something for nothing. The big
trading stamp concern gets rich.
They can't get rich by giving
away their product for philan-
thropic purposes. Somebody
pays for their prosperity, they
live on the credulity of others.
Like price increases the CONSUME
err pays the bill.
The trading stamp must go
Missouri must stand alongside
other progressive states.

When to Sow Oats.

"Most Of us are in a hurry to
get our oat crop in early" says
W. L. Nelson, who is in charge
of the crop reporting service Of
the Missouri State Board of Ag-
riculture, but after all it will APP
parently pay to take time to
put good seed into a well-pre-
pared seedbed, rather than to
mud in the crop.
Taking the average for the
last IA years, just about half
the crop-49.1 per cent-has
been in by April l, and the av-
erage yield has been 23.9 bush
els. For the eight years when
the crop went in earlier than
the average the yield was 2S,5
bushels, while for the six later
than-average years the yield
was 24.4 bushels.
"In 1910 the crop was sown
very early, 1877 per cent being
in by April 1. The yield of 35.2
bushels was the best for the IA
year period. In 1912, though,
when less than one per cent Of
the crop was in by April l, the
yield, with a favorable April
and May, was 31.3 bushels.

Harmless Spies and Some Harm
full Idiots.

Senator Overman is informed
that there are 100, 900 spies rep
resenting foreign Governments
in the United tSates. Their
number is certainly great and
they constitute an annoying
nuisance. We are not convinced
that they are a more serious
menace than our national leaki-
ness, which publishes to the
world whatever we are about, on
the assumption that the only re-
fuge from oppression and des-
potism is an utter absence Of
opportune reticence.
Nor do the spies appear to be
as dangerous as the unbridleC
asses of foreign and domestic ex-
traction who go about the lane
braying disloyalty. Some Of
them do it for pay, some be.
cause they know no better, anC
others merely to make a noise
Americans are given to under.
estimating the injury these
noisy fellows do. People know
them, classify them, occasionally
long to punch their heads, anC
otherwise pay no attention Il
them. But abroad they are no
understood. Their influence j
gravely overestimated, AM
when their words are repeated
in other countries they are like
ly to be mistaken for actual rep
resentatives of public opinion.
That Bryan was once Secretar.
of State does not deceive any

and his twaddle may be miscon

ace to-day than all the spies o
