CAPTURE 20 SUBS
Score of German U-BOatS Seized
in a Single Day.
Their Bases Destroyed, Some
Surrendered Willingly.

Washington, April PA member
of the British war commission today
said twenty German submarines and
their crews were captured by the Brit
ish April 10. the day before the party
sailed.
They weren't exactly captured, eth
err" said the Englishman. They had
been searching for a destroyer base
for days, had been suffering for food
and water and when our boats picked
them up, many of the men were on
the verge of starvation The crews
were quite subdued and gladly sur
rendered
England is getting a lot more sub
marines than you people in America
have any idea of.
1.-The submarine commanders are
having a rough time of it. Their bases
are sought out and destroyed almost
before they are established. The Brit
ish know of certain bases, but they let
them alone until the submarines are
gone, then destroy them and leave the
U-boatS in a hole"

NATIONS IN PLOT.
German Sees the AnglO-SaxOn
Races Against World.
Must Create Monroe Doctrine
for Europe, He Says.

London. April 24.-The Berlin news
papers publish an interview with AL
fred Lohmann, president of the Ocean
Navigation company, which operated
the Original German merchant subma-
rines, in which he declared that the
AnSlo-Saxon races were plotting the
economic domination of the world.
After asserting that the United States
waS already contemplating a post
bellum economic war, Herr Lohmann
continues:
This fact shows that a combina-
ton of the Anglo-Saxon races has
laid down a new world economic
foundation-an Anglo-SaxOn economic
bloc against which Europe must arm
herself in time. If President Wilson
finally has dropped the Monroe doc
trine, we must create such a doctrine
for Europe. Thru the abandonment of
the Monroe doctrine the dream of
theE United States winning over the
Central and South American republics
and founding a greater America out
side of English influence has vanished.
Says Pan-Americanism Is Dead.
Mark well that Chile maintains her
neutrality. Mexico remains Americas
sworn enemy and Argentina will in
spite of the Benuos Aires incidents,
draw her political inspiration from
Madrid and not from Washington.
'Ran-Americanism is dead, but in
stead the AnglO-SaXOn bloc becomes
economically welded. Americans of
Spanish blood will not side with the
Anslo-SaXon, for Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines are not yet forgotten"

Young Burned Monday Night.

An alleged fire bug made a sensa-
tional midnight escape on the West
side Monday night shortly after n barn
and an automobile owned by DR.. ]. o.
Young, 324 Western avenue, was
burned. Patrolman James Kennedy
was standing near Sixth and Tyler
streets a few minutes after the fire
wagons whizzed past. He saw a man
dart across the street and the officer
gave chase. The man disappeared in
an alley.
Assistant Fire Chief Joseph Wade
Itch, after an investigation, announced
that the fire had every appearance of
being the work of an incendiary. DR.
Young stated he was not surprised
and placed the blame on a young
man in this end of town. whom the
veterinarian described as a personal
enemy" No arrests have been made
up to date.
The barn was completely destroyed
as was the automobile, a Ford, pur-
chased short time ago. The ma
chine contained about $3.50 worth of
veterinary tools. The loss of the barn
and automobile is covered by insur-
ance. The fire was discovered at 1890
o'clock by Mrs. Charles Scott. 335

NO MORE LATE PARTIES
High School Pupils Must Get to Bed
Earlier in Future

An agreement has been effected by
the parents of the social stars scin-
tillating in the high school orbit. and
hereafter the ambitious" must return
to their downy beds at a respectable"
hour.
QUESTIONABLE was sent out by
special committee of the high school
faculty to the parents of high school
pupils, asking opinions on parties, the
time of breaking up and of chaperon
ing. These were sent out at the re-
quest of a few common sense mothers
who desired that their children keep
sensible hours and who at the same
time who did not wish to have their
sons and daughters appear as
neophites of the social world
I Replies from these parents showed
that such action would be approved
by nearly every parent of Topeka. AS
a result a letter has been sent out
from the high school asking for CO.
operation between the parents and the
school in regard to "earlv'' hours for
the pupils.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
GUS thing about us and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cially fine shampoo for this weather.
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff. excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving a
teaspoonful of canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggists) in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to
apply 1t to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing

UP TO COUNTY BOARD
They Cannot Be Forced to Approve
Road Petitions, Brewster Says.

Acceptance of permanent road petit
lions by county commissioners are en-
tirely at the option of the county
board. That was the ruling today of
S. M. Brewster, attorney general, in
passing on road petitions from Morris
county.
The required number of land owners
signed petitions for the construction
of twenty-five miles of permanent
highway in Morris county. Plans
called for hard surfacing of the Old
Santa Fe trail. The petitions were
signed in conformity with the law and
the land owners sought to participate
under the federal act. The county
commissioners refused to approve the
petitions and order the building of the
road. Brewster'.s ruling was to the
effect that final action by the county
board was optional.

PRACTICE SELF DENIAL
Washburn Students Are Saving Money
for Military Activities.

Self denial and economy in organ
lied bodies as we'll as in individual
cases has become quite the fashion at
Washburn since military activities
have opened into full swing. Spring
formals, class parties, fraternity
spreads, and club and school stunts
have all been clipped and the money
formerly spent on these occasions has
been turned over to the fund which
will be used in paying the Red Cross
nurses for their instruction.
The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority
have contributed 500 to the fund:
Kappa Kappa Chi, SIS; Sigma Alpha
Iota, $50; Alpha Phi, $S5; Y. w. c. A,
$50, and non-sorority women at Hol-
brook, $25.
In addition to this revenue, enter
tainments will be given to supply the
needed money. The proceeds of the
annual production of the Washburn
Dramatic club, Fannie and the
Servant Problem" which is to be given
Saturday night at the Grand, will be
turned over to the fund. Dances and
other social activities will be given
this spring and the profit will all
go for Red Cross training.

KAISER IN DUMPS
German Predicts He Will Abdi-
cate Before End of War.
Many Enemies at Home Make
His Life Miserable.

Paris. April 24.-The abdication of
the kaiser before termination of the
war is predicted by the author of the
famous book, "J'Accuse," in which
prominent German magistrate, who
has lived in Switzerland since 1914
accused to Pan-Germanists of being
solely responsible for the war.
Speaking to an interviewer, the Ger
man author said:
You in France don't know Emperor
William, or rather, you only know
the kaiser as he was: he is quite a diff
ferent man today. Theatrical, seduc-
tive and merry before the war, he is
now melancholy, irritable and silent
You can not be aware of the drama
that is now going on around the en-
peror. The newspapers talk of a mon
arch enjoying surprising health and
indefatiSable, going from front to
front, visiting his allies, calling to
headquarters all the German leaders
to proclaim the submarine war, decor
ating crowds of soldiers and civilians,
etc.
The facts are really quite different.
Indeed, the kaiser fels that he is now
menaced by enemies at home, without
counting those abroad"

members of the large American col

American colonists call themselves
the minute men,
The Americans will drill daily and
hold rifle practice twice weekly The
rifle range work will be done in
dividually so as to avoid appearance of
military training.
1t secretly is feared by the or
ganizers that the Argentine govern
ment may be forced to stop the
scheme on account of its technical
violation of the Argentine neutrality
laws. But so far the organization has
been permitted.
The members of the organization
are enrolled by number. The names
of those enlisted will be withheld
If the men of the large American COL

it would make a formidable array of
soldiers, many of whom already are
familiar with military tactics and

COLLEGE MEN TO HELP
Roosevelt Says Their Reserve Corps
Will Be Great Aid.

Cambridge. Mass, April 24.-The
reserve corps, established in the COL

make good the governmental short
comings in failing to prepare, accord
ing to Colonel Roosevelt, who, in an
interview given to the Harvard Grim
son, says in part:
LAS with all our wars we have re-
fused to prepare in advance, and have
had in this case to struggle with the
fact that the activities of the peace So
cieties have really been in the interest
of unpreparedness.
'In other words, instead of adopting
the motto of the Minute Men of 1776.
Don't shoot until you see the whites of
their eyes, we have acted on the mot
to, Don't buy your guns till you see
the whites Of their eyea'-a much less
