BRITISH NAVY SHAKEUP
Campaign Under Way to Gust JeIIi

London, Nov. Unusual interest
within and without parliament at
tacheS to the statement in regard to
the navy which is to be made in the
house of commons this afternoon by
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the ad-
miFalty. 1t will be Sir Eric's first
statement in regard to his depart
ment and also his first address in par
lament. Naval affairs have been to
the>fore in the last few weeks.
The has been much outspoken criti-
cism of the conduct of the admiralty,
especially since the successful German
attack on a convoy in the North sea.
A section of the press, supported by
certain retired naval officers of high
standing, is carrying on a campaign
with the object of ousting Admiral
Sir John Jellicoe as first sealord.
The admiral has been the subject of
attacks for his alleged lack of strate-
gle ability and insufficient forward
policy.
Other leading naval officers also
are being criticized with much free
dom.
In addition to the expectation that
Sir Eric will have something impor-
tant to say in regard to questions of
personnel there is eagerness to hear
what he will have to tell parliament
and the public about the progress of
ship construction. There is a general

1t has been hoped Sir Eric will be able
to say something to allay anxiety in
regard to the shortage of tonnage, in
view of the food situation and the
continuance of the submarine peril.

P. U. C. IN NEW MOVE
Wants Federal Government Party to
Passenger Rate Case.

The Kansas public utilities commits
sion has filed an application with
Morton Albaugh. clerk of the United
States district court. asking that the
federal government be made a party
to the two cent intrastate passenger
rate case. The case is now before the
federal court as a result of legal steps
by the railroads, following denial of
an application to the utilities COM
mission for an increase, in rates.
Approval of the application of the
state commission will permit the
state to bring into court the methods
adopted by the interstate commerce
commission in determining a two cent
rate n-cOmpenSatOry in Kansas
The interstate commerce commission
granted a PA and 20 cent rate for
interstate passenger fares. When the
railroads asked for an increase in
intrastate fares, the application was
denied. The action is now before the
federal court and the action of the
state commission is an effort to pro-
duce interstate commerce records in
the hearing.

SANE Halloween EVE
Franks in Topeka We're Mild-No De-
struction of Property Reported.

Altho some parts of the landscape
betrayed slight evidence of alteration
this morning, Halloween eve in To-
peka Wednesday night was safe and
sane one.
Small boys were out, it is true. but
so far the street railway company
hasn't decried the fact that rails on
some parts of it's system were soaped.
''Goblins'' confined their activities in
strolling along the streets in a most
civilized manner. Tic-tacs alarmed a
few but not many. No one placed a
COW, so far as can be learned, on top
of the high school building and it is
said on good authority that when A.
]. Stout, principal of the high school,
opened his desk this morning he
found the inside conspicuous insofar
as it didn't contain a cat with a family
of kittens.
No one messed up the interior of
the Santa Fe offices with tin cans
bricks or old shoes. While a number
of sidewalk culverts couldn't be found
their absence didn't serve to stop pc
destrian traffic. Nearly every small
building in the city and county, for
some reason or other, was left intact
Several masquerade parties, both
private and public. were held

WEEKS SUPPLY COAL
That's All Chicagoans Can Order at
One Time-SchoOIs Dismissed.

Chicago, Nov. deliveries of coal
to Chicago consumers today We're
limited to a weeks supply, thru
ruling of the city committee of the
fuel administration. The rule is ex-
pected to remain in force until the
serious shortage is dealt with.
John E. Williams, state fuel admin
istrator, has authorized the appoint
ment of a special committee to deal
with the coal supplies for public in
stitutions
Retail dealers advised the commit
tee today that there is only about four
days supply of anthracite coal in the
city. About 80 per cent of the fuel
used here is anthracite. They de-
clared that greater tonnage of that
variety had been mined this year than
ever before, and with the northwest
and east now fully supplied, steps
should be taken to divert sufficient
supplies to this section
Portable schools, erected to handle
the overflow attendance, have been
dismissed until the fuel situation is
solved.

HOLD UP BAKERS
Kansas MiIIerS Sell Wheat on
Old Contracts Now.
That Is Complaint Made to
Governor Capper.
KEEP BREAD PRICES Up
Federal Government May Be
Asked To Make Probe.
Present Prices Unreasonable
With Wheat at sails.
KEEP BREAD PRICES UP

The federal government may be
asked to probe contracts which bak-
ers have made with Kansas millers.
Information being received by Gov
ernor Capper indicates that contracts
made before the government fixed the
price of wheat are being enforced by
the millers. These contracts, it is as
serted. are responsible for refusal of
bakers to lower bread prices.
Very little of the benefits of price
fixing by the government has extend
ed to consumers. letters to Governor
Capper assert. In the matter of wheat
price regulation, it is charged that all
of the benefits are going to the mill
ers, a little to the farmer who grows
the wheat and none to the consumer
who eats bakery bread. Herbert
Hoover, federal food administrator,
may be asked to investigate the ex-
istence of contracts and the possibility
of an existing understanding" be-
tween bakers and millers.
Made Big Contracts.
In certain instances, letters assert,
bakers contracted for as much as
10000 barrels of flour. The contracts
were based on sky rocket prices in
existence last spring and prior to the
1917 and 1918 prices for wheat.
While the millers are able to buy
wheat much cheaper than last spring,
the bakers have failed to receive Il
benefit, it is claimed.
OF course. the mi1lers have an
argument They contend that they
would have been hard hit under their
contracts had not the government
taken a hand in price regulation and
wheat prices gone above those exist
ing at the time contracts were made,
Long Time Contracts.
Recently Governor Capper appealed
to Hoover for assistance in lowering
the price of flour. 1t is claimed that
the reduction in the price of flour has
not been in keeping with the $2.15
wheat rate allowed by the federal
government. But the big gains to
the millers are said to be in enforce
fnent of old contracts with the bakers.
Many of these contracts, as originally
drawn will continue thru the winter.
Unless the government takes action,
it is claimed that bakers will be una
BILE to reduce bread prices to their
customers. While not all bakers are
bound by contracts, bread makers
who are buying flour at prices based
on present wheat quotations.. are said
to be absorbing the profits which go
to the millers holding long terms high
priced contracts. tss u-f

KEEP men CLEAN
Funston Officers Wage War on
Social Diseases.
PrOphyIactic Stations Put In To
Protect Soldiers.

Camp Funston, Kan, Nov. line
war department has taken official
cognizance of the prevalency or soclal
diseases thruout the country, and the
harm such diseases have created
among the allied soldiers.
Division headquarters received
bulletin today from the war depart
ment stating that the secretary OF
war directs the establishment at once
of prophyIaxis stations in each camp,
cantonment and military post in the
country, where they have not already
been established, and to provide suffi-
cient prophylactic equipment neces-
sary to enable organization comman-
ders to establish stations in all camps
after debarkation.
This means that the soldiers will be
protected as much as possible by the
medical department, both while they
are in training in this country and
after they reach French soil.
Experience of Allies.
The allied armies have paid very
little attention to such things, and as
result a large per cent of the men
have become infected and incapaci-
tated for work Out of the first ten
thousand men sent here in the draft
almost per cent of them were af-
flicted with either one kind of social
disease or another. about four times
the per cent normally found in the
army.
A prophylaxis station has been es-
tablished at each infirmary at Camp
Funston by orders of Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood, commanding the division.
All organization commanders were in
structed today to notify their men of
this fact, and of the certainty of
avoiding disease by taking the treat
ment after becoming infected.
All men who take the prophylactic
treatment after having been away on
leave and signs of disease develop in
spite of the treatment are sent to the
base hospital, generally, and they
don't lose their pay. But in case a
man fails to report for treatment and
| later developments show that he
should have, he loses all pay while i'll
