BRAZIL'S NAVY AIDS
Co-operates With United States in
Hunting Sea Raiders.

Washington, June 30.-Brazil's navy
has begun cooperating with the
American fleet in South American wa
tiers in hunting down German sea
raiders and watching for German sub
marines.
Sending of special diplomatic mis-
sion to Brazil to arrange for greater
co-ordinati, n of forces ana the closet
possible cooperation of the two gov
ernments is under consideration by the
United States.
Brazil Virtually ut War.
Washington, June 30.-Without
formal declaration of war, Brazil thus
practically has joined the United
States against Germany. Coincident
with the inauguration of Brazil S
naval operations q plan for protecting
her merchant ships IN their voyages
to allied ports with frozen meats and
other foodstuffs has been put into
effect.
Whether Brazil will supplement her
action by a formal declaration of war
is not known here and by some Off
Gals such action is regarded as doubt
full because the government at Rio
De Janeiro is inclined to regard Its
action rather as defensive than ag-
gressive.
For the present, 1t is believed
BraziPs part will be adequately done
if she contributes to the safety of the
southern seas and to the movement
to Europe of food stuffs

Father of Myers Girl Back in
Topeka Again Today.
He Is Arranging for the Hold
ing of an Autopsy.

John Myers, of Centralia, father of
Mary Eliza Myers, the young school
teacher who died suddenly and mys-
terlously in the Roam hotel in To-
peka a week ago Friday, returned TO
Topeka today to arrange for the
autopsy on the body of his daughter.
He is in consultation this afternoon
with Robert Carver, county attorney,
and other county officers.
DIR. o. F. Narcotic, coroner, will
probably make the autopsy if the
financial end of the matter can be
arranged with the county commits
would cost about $50 to send the coro-
1er to Centralia to make the examina-
ton. Efforts will be made to divide
the expense between the county and
Mr.. Myers.
The investigation has been carried
on in Topeka day by day and all the
officers need is The testimony of the
coroner that the girl died from a
criminal operation, as all the inVesti-
gators believe.
Trace Evidence Here.
If the examination discloses that
the county officers are ready to say
where the operation was performed.
Evidence has been produced to prove
that such an operation was performed
in Topeka in a roominS house on
Wednesday, the day before the girl
and the strange young man went to
the Roam hotel.
Mary Myers was i'll when the young
man took her to the hotel Thursday
evening. Doctor McGrew, of Holton,
was sent for and remained with her
until she died about 9 o'clock Friday
morning. If the autopsy shows what
Hugh Larimer, sheriff, and Robert
Carver, county attorney. expect it to
show, a warrant will be issued i'm
mediately following the report of the
coroner The offers know what name
to place in the warrant, they know
the place to designate as the place
where the alleged crime was COM
mitted and all other facts necessary to
the issuance of n warrant

4TH DRIVE ON VERDUN
Again Crown Prince Hurls Men and
Shells Lavishly but in Vain.
BY PERRY ARNOLD.

New York, June 30.-Germany is
striving desperately today to retrieve
on the French front an impending dis
aster on the British front.
With the fall of Lens apparently
now only a matter of days, the crown
prince has once more been entrusted
with picked troops and prodigal sup
on Verdun. Official statements re-
veal that this stroke is of tremendous
power.
Despite the concentrated fury of the
attack, the Germans failed-a little
ground on the west slope of Dead
Mans Hill, has been disproportionate
to the losses in men and expenditure of
munitions. This is at least the fourth
major offensive operation which has
been undertaken against Verdun-
and the fourth time the initial
SmaSheS were checked.
Grasping Lens ''SIow but Sure.
Field Marshal Haig had been very
chary of details of the British opera
vealed the full extent of the encir-
cling move. The British advanced a
mile deep over a four mile front
The official statement did not mention
the particular location of this ad-
vance, but it appears certain that the
British troops have by now almost
reached the city limits of the French
coal metropolis.
OF secondary interest is a continual
ton of the German drive along the
Chemis des Danes. 1t is manifestly
French pressure around Laon, base
city of the Hindenburg line. The
French statement records a failure of
the general attack

Tinidad, Colo, June 30.-The plant
OF the DUPONT company at Augusta,

in ruins today and four men were
dead as a result of an explosion late
yesterday which destroyed the press
and coming mills.
superintendent Joseph JeandeI and
three workmen were instantly killed.
A fourth workman was fatally burned.
The plant has been producing double
its normal capacity of seven hundred

WATCH AMERICA.

In a statement made in Washing
ton the other day, Herbert c. Hoover,
whose war speciality is food conser-
walton and control, said: 4
1.-The United States has done more
in four months than Germany did in
year."
If confusion did kot attend Amer
ica's entrance into the war the world
would be the witness of miracle of
transformation. A nation of 1O0,-
100000 devoted to peace cannot get
into a war calling for millions of
men and billions of dollars with the
savoir faire, of a cotillon leader en-
ter a ballroom or with the sang froid
of the wearer of the championship
belt stepping into the prizering. But
being in, Americans will acquit them
selves as Polonius advised Laertes to
de. that those who sought the. quarrel
might rue their folly and respect the
foe.
Watch America! This country's
preparation and performance in the
world war will present to the world
a new aspect of the American, al
ready an epic figure in the story of
