STREET CAR STRIKE AT
 KANSAS CITY CONTINUES

Ransas City, Aug. io.-The third day of Kansas Gity's street car strike began with the track deserted this moraiug of an except a few inter- urban cars, only one of which ear ried passengers within the city, and those conveying the mails. Not a car moved on the city lines, and prospects were judging from state- ments both of the Kansas City Rail- ways Company and the men, that none would be operated at least until tomorrow.
 The progress of the strike was similar to that of the last two days. No disorders of any kind were re- ported. Car barns were picketed by strikers who seemed intent upon preventing any kind of trouble and officials apparently were willing to ies she waik-out take it's course. No indications were forthcoming of possible mediation between the op- posing sides. and the only indica- tion of a resumption of service was contained in statements of Mayor George II. Edwards that drastic ac- ton soon would be taken to restore normal conditions

GERMANS USE NEW CHRISTIAN METHOD
Find Gas That Is Most Effective on Women and Non-C -Combatants in Towns-Drives Its Victims
 Insane.

Hazebrouck, France, Aug. g. British medical officers are trying to determine the nature of new poisen used, it is believed, for the first time by the Germans on the French town of Armentieres, near the Belgian frontier. The poison bore a resemblance to the gas which temporarily blinded a large number of British troops fort night ago, but it's effects are inflnit- ly more serious on the non-combat- ant population of the towns.
 Many Have Died.
 A number of persons taken from Armentieres are in a grave condi- tion. Many have died in hospitals at Hazebrouck, -the-Lys and particularly at St. poI-on-the-T Ter noise, where most of the victoms were taken.
 The first time the new poison was observed it eoincided with the fir ing into the town of a hail of small shells of a calibre insufficient to break the paving. These contained a eolorless liquid which spread over the soil in the streets and in court yards and gardens, where the shells burst, traces of the noxious liquids were found hours afterwards.

SWISS TO DEFY GERMANY?
Break May Be Near Over Berlin's
 Demand for Gold 'Ioan.S

Washington, Aug. 7.-Gonfrnia- tion has reached the State Depart ment of the report that Germany has demanded loan in gold from Switzerland in return for coal. In official circles here this is taken as emphasis to the stories of financial difficulties in which Germany finds herself at present.
 Germany is in need of gold to meet the obligations which she has incurred with those neutrals with whom she can trade, for German paper money is no longer in favor and the value of the German mark IS depreciating almost to the vanish ing point.
 Switzerland is resisting the de- mand, and if it Is pressed she is in far better shape than Holland or the Scandinavian countries to meet either military or economic aggres- sion from Germany.
 Under present conditions. Switz- erland IS dependent upon Germany for her coal, but it is believed that the allies may be able to meet her needs. With the restoration to France of the mining region so long Tn German hands, the supplies of the allies may be increased to such an extent that Switzerland can be supplied, in spite of the drain caused by urgent appeals from Italy for fuel.

SERBIA MUST BE RESTORED. '
Lloyd George Says Britain Will In-
 sist on Seeing Nation Free.


 London, Aug. 9-premier Llovd George, speaking yesterday at the luncheon of the Serbian Society of Great Britain in honor of N p Patchitch, the Serbian premier. said the First condition of peace is re- storatlon, complete and without res ervation." The premier added he believed in little nations, saying:
 T believe in the nation which can sing about it's defeats Serbia has sung right thru the centuries. not of victory, but of defeats which sub merged her in the flood of barbar- Ism. Serbia always has hoped and now her day of reckoning comes The nation that sings of her defeats is immortal.
 However long this war may last Great Brltain's honor is involved in seeing Serbia free. Serbia and Bell gium are the guardians of the gates and bravely have they defended them. The troops of Serbia never have been disheartened, they still are guarding the gate. The British extend once more the hand of friendship to Serbia. We will go thru the war together to the end
 MT. Lloyd George said that En- rope owed much to Premier Patch itch for it was thru his action that "clyillzation accepted the challence or the barbarism of Prussia"

SOCIALISTS SHY RESPONSIBILITY
The Democratic Movement in Ger many Appears Co Be Slipping Duwn Grade, Reports Indicate
 New Government Asked.

Copenhagen. Aug g. Tho demo- cratic movement in Germany, which the reformers were sure was get ting such a splendid start in the re- cent reiehsias crisis. now seems tc be slipping backward down grade.
 The liberal and the radical news papers in Germany generally in- lerpret the election of Dr. Miehaelis of his eolleages as a distinee rejec- ton Of the principle of parliamen- tarism or parliamentary influence upon the administration
 The socialist organ, the yor- waerts, announces that the cabinet members, Spahn, Krause and Muel- Ter, enter the government as indi- viduals, not as party representa- lives. therefore, the party assumes no responsibility, but retains, com pletely, free hand toward the gov ernment.
 Mueller, particularly, has long had no active connection with the so- cialist party, as he had had a pure ly administrative non-political post
 The Norwaerts declares that the present government must be the last of it's kind, and that it must be supplanted by government of the people.
 Chancellor Michaelis also is get ting further away from the reich stag peace resolution, even as he in terprets it.
 Reports to the Associated Press from Germany say that Dr. Michael i1 now has been hailed by the advo- cates of greater Germany as a new Bismarck.

CROP REPORT IS
 MOST FAVORABLE
More Than 3i3,OO0 Square Miles. in Addition to the Many Home Gar dens, Planted to Food Crops
 Feed Crops Are Large.

Washington, Aug. s.-The final production which the nations crop will yield this year was forecast again today by the Department of Agriculture with estimates based on the condition of the growing crop on August |.
 The production statistics indicate, when compared with the forecast made from conditions existing July 1. how July weather and other con- ditions have affected the all import ant food crops on which the coun- try and it's allies in the war will have to depend the coming year.
 With more than 343,000 square miles planted to the important food crops, not taking into account the vastly increased number of home gardens, the United States has more than one-ninth of it's area growing in food crops. That is larger than the combined area of all the states from Maine to the In- diana-Ilinois hne and south to the  North Carolina-Virginia line and the Ohio river, including West Virginia.
 Bumper crops of corn and oats and record crops of barley, rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobacco and hay show the response of the farmers of the country to President Wilson's appeal made m April to produce larger crops this year for war use.
 Following are the forecasts of production of the principal crops as estimated by the crop reporting board from the thousands of reports on conditions August received from every part of the country lfigures are in millions of bushels, l. C.. 000,000's omittedl with the forecasts made from July condi- tions, last years final productions

HOW OKLAHOMA BUYS.
Saves Money by Placing Power in
 Mands of Small Board.

Little Rock. Aug. 9-A. W. Page, steward of the Oklahoma State Home at Pryor. Ok, is spending his vacation with his brother. Commis- sioner John II. Page, and other rela- tives and friends. The institution is an orphans home supported by the state. Mir. Page says that one radical difference between the man. ner of conducting business in Okla homa and Arkansas. is that Oklaho- ma has a State Board of Affairs of three men, to whom is referred the buying of all supplies, from a lead pencil to steam engine. Last year the Legislature appropriated Sii,- 000,000 for supplies for the various institution and departments, and all of this must pass thru the hands of the State Board. The result is much more economical buying. and the saving of many thousands of dol lars.
