U.BOATS WAITED IN VAIN

Washington, June 2S.-News OF
the arrival in France of the ad'
vance guard of the mighty army OF
the United States is preparing to
send against Germany-thcusands
Of seasoned regulars and marines
trained fighting men with the tan
of long service on the Mexican Dor
der or in Haiti or San Domingo
still on their faces-sent new thrill
thru Washington. No formal an
nouncement came from the war
department. None will come, prob
ably until Major General Pershing' S
official report has been received.
Then there may be a statement as
to the numbers and composition OF
the advance guard.
The American troops will be an
Independent force, cooperating with
the allies. 1t has been suggested
that the American forces might be
placed between the French and
British forces as a connecting link,
but the exigencies of the planned
campaigns will govern that ques-
ton.
Considering the distance to be
covered and the fact that all prep
arations had to be made after the
order came from the white house
the night of May IS, it is practically
certain that never before has a mill
tary expedition of this size been as
sembled, conveyed and landed with
out mishap in so short time by
any nation. 1t is a good augury OF
future developments. The only rival
in magnitude is the movement Of
British troops to South Africa in
the Boer war and that was made
ever seas that we're unhampered by
submarines, mines or other obsta'
cles.

GETTING READY FOR
GREAT AIRPLANE ATTACKS

Washington, July 2.-That Ger
many, realizing that victory would
be with the side equipped with the
best air service, is now feverishly
building new and more powerful
airplanes in great numbers in the
hope of overwhelming the allies
next fall or next spring was the
statement made to the sub-commit-
tee of the senate military commit
tee today by John Barrett, director
of the Pan-American Union. Mr..
Barrett gave as his authority a
high German officer whom he had
known before the war and whom he
had met at prison camp in Eng
land.
"He told me- said Mr.. Barrett,
that the majority of the several
hundred German officers, whether
military or naval, held in that camp
honestly believed that Germany
would win the war thru its ability
to make use of air service more eff
tectiyely and efficiently than could
the British and French.
This officer further indicated as
proof of his contention that Ger
many would eventually win and as
reason why the United States
should not have confidence in a
final victory for the allies that by
the autumn of 1917 or spring of
1918 Ga little over one year from
the time of our conversation) Ger
many would have ready such vast
equipment of new and most power
full airplanes and Zeppelins then
being planned or built that she not
only would check the British and
French drive but gradually would
recover lost ground and ultimately
Lave Paris and London at the mercy
of her air squadrons
Finally it is to be emphasized
that the consensus of opinion of
aeroplane and other air service ex-
perts whom l met in England and
France was that it was entirely
possible that within another year
from then, the Germans, thru their
wonderful inventive skill and act
ing under the same impulse as had
IL ID !
across the Atlantic, would develop
zeppelins and monster aeroplanes
which could cross the Atlantic and
do Unreasonable damage to such
cities as New York. Boston, Phila-
delphia and even Washington be-
fore they would be brought down
or obliged to land thru exhaustion
of fuel"

SOLDIERS BREAK

Boston Demonstration Resulted In

PACIFIsTs CHECKED BY POLICE
Soldiers and Sailors Attacked Social

Play "Star Spangled
Banner"

Boston, July 2.-Riotous scenes
Sunday attended a Socialist parade
announced as a peace demonstra-
ton. The ranks of the marchers
we're broken up by self-organized
squads of uniformed soldiers and
sailors, red flags and banners bear
ing Socialistic notices were tram
pied. Police reserves stopped the
rjoting in an hour and half.
The police took into custody some
of the participants in hundreds OF
fist fights that were waged on the
Commons and in the line OF the
parade on fremont street, Whlle
agents Of the federal department OF
Justice arrested in the crowd a
number of persons who were al
legged to have made unpatriotie re-
marks in the heat of the conflict.
None of the soldiers and sailors
who figured in the disturbance was
arrested
The police had just succeeded in
uuieting this disturbance when the
reserves were called out to quell an
incipient riot at the meeting place
on the Commons. The first of the
peace" speakers had barely begun
his remarks when the reserves ar
rived. They formed a circle in the
crowd with the police wagon as
center in front of the speakers
stand, but in spite of their presence
there were scores of individual
fights in the big gathering. To re-
store quiet the acting police COM
missioner revoked the permit for
the speaking and the meeting was
called off.

THE campaign a year from next

most important in our history. The
part of Kansas in the war will be
a potential one.
Il have been urging for several
years that Kansas should reorganize
her government from the township
and county units to the top; that
we should establish for every unit
of government in Kansas, the same
set of businesslike principles that
govern us in the management of
commercial enterprise. No state in
tie union is capable of responding
so readily to modern system as Is
Kansas, and we ought to present
TO the nation model Of business
like capacity for government.
THE months of trial that are to
come will emphasize this need and
out of the more sober days there
will emerge a new eagerness to do
our part; a new desire to take our

of national defense, repudiated an
agreement fixing a tentative price
of SO ton for bituminous coal,
reached at a conference here Thurs
day between coal producers. He
added that the price OF So at the

pressive."
Decatur, ILL.,, July with the
news from Washington that coal
operators had decided to reduce
prices, Decatur's coal operators to-
day increased the price of coal SIS
cents a ton at the mine. This makes
the price $3.50 per ton.

of coal operators in Washington,
following recent conference with
government officials, to reduce the
price of coal will not affect To-
peka prices. That was the consensus
of opinion voiced by managers of

London, July 2.-The Russian
offensive has started in earnest and
Brusiloff's reorganized armies are
attacking over an 1871 mile front
in a tremendous drive. The Rus
slams advanced from the upper
Stripa river toward Lemberg, the
capital of Galicia, from which they
are only about forty-fiye miles dis
tant.
According to the German accounts
OF the fighting Brusiloff's forces
were everywhere repulsed by de-
structive fire, but an admission Is
made that heavy night attacks fol-
lowed the afternoon attacks, indi-
eating that the battle has just be-
gun The artillery fire is heavy
over the whole front from the Pri-
pet marshes to Stanislau and the
Teutons evidently are expecting the
Russians to leave their trenches and
come forward at other points of the
line.
The drive, in its initial phases,
promises to be on a scale equal to
great offensive of last
year and is the first important ac-
ton begun by the Russians since
the revolution.
