Republicans 215; Democrats PA; Pro-
hibitionist /, Progressive /; Progressive
Protectionist l.; Socialist l. Independ-
ent !; vacant
The vacancy exists in the 18th New

law this vacancy can be filled before
the extra session begins if a special
election is called before next Friday.
1t has been generally believed Gov.
Whitman would call the election, which
would make virtually certain a tie
at 215 between the Democratic and Re-
publican membership on the opening
day of the session. Then the winning
side would have to gain the votes of
three Of the five so-called independ
ents IN order to have a majority.

legislative Possibilities

The length of the special session. the
legislation it will enact and the debates
that may mark its progress will de-
pend largely on three factors-just
what the President expects in the
shape of legislation, what results from
the arming of American merchant
ships against German submarines and
the way the new House of represent
atives conducts itself with it's evenly
balanced membership.
The Democrats control the new SEN
ate by l. votes and despite its bitter
debates on international problems and
its failure to pass the armed neutral
ity bill. it can safely he counted upon
to stand behind the President in al
most anything he asks in handling the
German situation. The little group of
pacifists is still there, but their pow
er to defeat legislation would be neg
ligible in session that might last I'M
til December, even without the modi-
fed cloture rule which the Senate
adopted Yesterday
The new House may organize Repub-
licar or Democratic or an effort may be
made to effect a coalition organiza ton

Armed neutrality is expected to re-

attack upon an armed American yes

Approved by Leaders

Leaders of both parties in Congress
greeted with approval President Viii
sons call for a special session on
April 1G.
In the closing days of the last SEES
sion there We're many expressions in
the Senate and House of the belief
that the President could not do other
wise than issue the call and the only
doubt that has existed was about the
date Of the new session. There has been
a feeling evident, particularly in the
Senate and held by Republicans only
to a stronger degree than by their
Democratic colleagues that Congress
should be in Washington when the
President takes any step further in the
German situation.
Unavoidable Step
The decision. coming at the end OF
a period OF tense waiting, was gener-
ally hailed as the natural and unaNoid-
able next step in the policy adopted by
the President when he broke off dip
lomatic relations with Germany and
save warning that the United States
could not tolerate attacks on American
ships and citizens in violation in in
ternational law.
Fraught with the grave possibility
Of war with Germany, the action was
taken by President Wilson only after
he 1,.a,, convinced that Germany actin
ally was proceeding with her campaign
of ruthlessness and had made efforts
to plot with Mexico and Japan against
the territorial integrity of the United
States.

THEY LIFTED CABLES
Three Men Nearly Destroyed Com
munication With Three Countries.

New York, July 24.-Three men
all American born of American par
entage-were arrested last night by
of trying to destroy the great At
lantic cables that rise from the bed of
the ocean off Manhattan Beach.
The men are Eugene Jones, Rob-
ert C. Pollock and William A. Horn.
Jones and Pollock are New York Cen
trail employees.
According to Sergeant J. Velsor,
commanding twelve regulars from the
Forty infantry, q. S. A, on
guard at the cable station, his sentries
saw the three men in a power boat
the shallow water. The cable are the
French, Mexican and South Ameri-
can. All are under government con-
troll. The French cable is constantly
loaded with messages to and from the
American army headquarters in Paris.
The boat in which the three men
was seen is the Arab, owned by Pol
lock. Velsor and a squad put out in
boat toward the Arab, shouting to
the men to ''cut loose" To emphasize
the order the soldiers fired ten shots,
all Intentionally high and seaward
Velsor declared that Pollock struck
him as soon as he climbed over the
Arabs rail and sought to throw him
overheard He silenced Pollock with
the butt of his revolver.
The three men were taken to the
cable station and later to Coney Island
police station. The men claimed they
We're fishing for fluke and that the
arrest was the biggest "fluke" they
had encountered. They declared they
did not know the cables were there
as there was no warning sign.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in Just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to judge of a woman's neatness. or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair remember that it is not advisable
to wash the hair with any cleanser
made for all purposes, but always use
some good preparation made expressly
for shampooing. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some canthrox
from your druggist, dissolve tea
spoonful in z cup of hot water This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead of just the top of the
head Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. Its
lustre and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

AIM OF BIG AIR RAID
Germans Tried To Destroy Bank of
England With Bombs.

An American Port, July 24.-Ger-
man airmen made strenuous efforts
to destroy the Bank of England in the
great air raid on London, July z, ac-
cording to passengers arriving here
from England.
A squadron of nearly twenty planes
Swooped down upon the bank while
anti-craft guns from high buildings
in the neighborhood poured in a hot
fire. The Germans threw down
dozens of bombs, but none of them
struck the Bank of England. One
struck the Swiss bank, where a num-
Der of persons had sought refuge, and
injured several persons.

WOMEN CAN BE OF USE
Garry Your ParceI' Campaign Con-
Quoted in Topeka by Merchants.

At a well attended meeting of the
Topeka Retailers association at the
Chamber of Commerce Monday, it
was decided to enter into campaign
for the propagation of the ideals adj
vanced by the national council of de-
tense on the curtailment of deliveries.
The larger stores of the city had
signed an agreement to limit deliv
cries to one a day, and tacitly it is un-
6erstood that North Topeka, Oakland
and the East side will be served at 10
o'clock in the morning and the West
side at o'clock in the afternoon.
Special deliveries will be made On de-
mand at 10 cents per package.
1t was pointed out by representa-
lives of the large stores that unless
large per cent of packages were car
ried by the patrons it would be i'm
possible to maintain this service with
out the addition of more equipment
and it was decided to appeal to the
women, thru their organizations, to
carry as much merchandise as posi-
BILE. Several women were present and
reported that the sentiment among
the women is that they will enter
heartily into the new arrangement.
A committee-W w Whitney. A
P. McKown, Fred Buechner, Charles
H. Matthews and Mrs. w. G. Lormore
was appointed by President Fred
Voiland for the purpose of mapping
out campaign of education to ac-
quaint every housewife in the city of
the new order of things. The COM
mittee will go farther and enlist every
retailer in the new plan. 1t was es-
.timated that one-third of the de-
livery trucks can be dispensed with
and a large quantity of gasoline saved
for the use of the army. Also that
the men used in the deliveries can
be saved and the labor turned in to
the more urgent channels.
1t developed that already a large per
cent of the groceries and all of the
coal men were charging for each de-
livery. 1t was stated that deliveries
now cost the merchants approximately
eight cents per package on an aver
age and that this cost could be saved
to the consumer and thus offset some
what the constantly rising cost. The
effect of the movement will be to take
the cost of delivery out of the over
head expense where it is now charged
to general expense and thus dis
tributed over the entire line of mer-
chandise and place it directly on the
shoulders of those who receive the
service If the consumer chooses to
carry goods home the average saving
will be eight cents per package
