KANSAS CITY, August 12.-Depor- tation of 400 strikebreakers, accom- plished in orderly fashion early today by sympathizers of striking stree car employees under the supervision of the police left the transportation Of the two Kansas Cities still tied up while conference committees endeavored to find solution of the situation. Mayor George Edwards of Kansas City, Mo-, announced that an amicable settlement was in sight. The men demand recog- hilton of the union and reinstatement of discharged members nf their union. When the strikebreakers were herd ed into a train headed for St. Louis some of them had had nothing to eat but a few sandwiches, so severe had been the barrage of bricks and stones with which the sympathizers besieged them in the car barns.
 It was reported tonight that the train carrying the strikebreakers from Kansas City had been sidetracked at Selsa, Mo, Is miles east of here and that their leaders were endeavoring to get the men to return here The men virtually bought out small stores to appease their 48-hour appetities, it was said.
 The conference attempting to settle the strike adjourned at midnight with no agreement reached. Company con- ferees before adjourning proposed that a grievance committee should be

CODY. Wyo., August 12. - David Grootch a stenographer of Jonesboro, Ark who was found on a small island in the Shoshone river near here by IJndersheriff Walter Barber, told a weird story today of having been ma rooned for 22 days on the island with in sight of a wagon road over which people were constantly travelling. Dur ing this time, he said, his only nour- ishment was water
 Crotch said he had been working on a ranch near here and came to Cody for visit. After eating a hearty meal he set out for walk toward the river when his memory left him.
 When he regained consciousness he found himself on the island 200 rods below a wagon bridge. He could not swim and the current was too swift for him to wade to the mainland. Day after day, Grootch said. he could see people crossing the bridge and he tried to attract them by shouting and waving but those who saw him apparently did not realize he was in distress and merely waved their hands to him in friendly greeting.
 Finally Crotch said, he became SC weak he could not stand and lay help less in the underbrush until a passer- by saw him and notified MT Barber who rescued him.
 Crotch is unable to give any ev- planation of how he got on to the island. He will recover.

HOUSE ID TAKE UP PROGRAM FUR
 RAISING MONEY
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-While the senate continues debate on the S2,006,- 000000 war tax bi this week, initial steps will be taken on the house side of the capital toward raising part of the additional s6,000, 1000, 900 needed to carry on the war until July 1, 1918.
 More ready money, possibly s1,000,- 900, 900 or S2,o00, ,0e0. 900 will be neces- sary to meet current expenses before congress can appropriate it at the next session. so Secretary McAdoo has ar ranged a meeting with Democratic Leader Kitchen, chairman of the house ways and means committee for early in the week, to discuss the situation. Members of the ways and means com miteee, both democratic and republican, have expressed willingness to pass without delay legislation for any req sonable amount the government may require Senate leaders also are will ing to cooperate.
 Sentiment for raising additional funds at this time by bond issue and certificates of indebtedness and not by taxation is strong in both houses.
 Administration officials have not stated the exact amount they desire authorized but a request for more than S2, 900, 100000 additional would meet
 strong opposition in the house. A movement to make the next issue of bonds or certificates taxable and with four and one half per cent interest instead of being taxable and bear ing three and one-half per cent inter est is gaining influential followers ir the house.
 Reports that a certain United States citizen acquired S60,U00,000 worth of the first issue of Liberty bonds, in order to escape taxation, has gained much currency in the house.
 Senator Simmons having concluded his opening statement Saturday, gen. eral discussion of the revised house revenue bill vii begin in the senate to- morrow Optimistic leaders hope tt complete debate in two weeks, but Ii II l is finished in less than a month, many
 of the older members will be surprised Senator LaFollette will offer early this week his substitute for the pend | ing which would place virtually the en' | tire burden of taxation on war profits l incomes, liquor and tobacco.s Senator Gore is expected to speak in support o
 the measure.

 BRITISH A|RMEN
 DEFEATS RAID
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Aug 12.-Reports from various local correspondents indicate he probability that the German air plane raid Sunday would have been much more serious but for the pre- paredness of the British defense. Brit ish, airplanes at the first -intimation of he enenv's approach arose from all points climbing upward at terrific pace, at daring angles, with the result that before the Germans arrived fleets of British machines were in waiting.
 The activity of the airplanes and the excellent fire from anti-aircraft guns appears to have nullified the attempted operations of the invaders virtually everywhere except at South End. There are many stories of scattered flights by the Germans to avoid risking en- agreements with the defenders. The weather was bright and fine with a strong westerly wind, which, perhaps was less forcible at the great height the raiders travelled.
 It appears that the largest section of the invading squadron operated over the Thames estuary but the cir cumstances which resulted in South End being the chief victim are not apparent. The town was full of holi- day makers. Many of these were on the way to the railway station to take a train for London when the bombing began and there were many casualties lmongt hem. One bomb alone killed seven persons and wounded many others.
 Elsewhere the people who remained in the street instead of taking to cover were the chief sufferers.
 Hundreds were thrown to the ground by the concussions but all escaped serious injury. Reports from Deal, Ramsgate and other coast towns say that the main result of the air raid warning was to draw crowds to the sea fronts to watch the invaders.
 Thanks to the promptness of the British airplanes in attacking the raid- CTS, all these places escaped and the onlookers saw aerial battles though at a dim distance. None of these fights seems to have been prolonged or as far as is known to have resulted seri- Ously for the invaders whose plan seemed, to be to avoid fights in order to insure safe return to their base.

LONDON, Aug. 12-The intrepidity of Captain William Bishop, a Cana

 ing corps, in attacking a German air drome single handed. has been re-
 warded by the bestowal upon him of the Victoria cross, the most prized of the British valor medals. Captain
 Bishop flew to an airdrome about twelve miles inside the German lines, according to the official Gazette. and lattacked seven machines from height of fifty feet, killing one of the me- chanics and disabling four machines as they arose to give him battle. Four hostile scouts were 1000 feet above him for a mile during his return jour ney, but they would not attack. His machine was badly shot up by machine
 gun fire from the ground.

Ac- tresses who were in Kansas City Sat urday and knew of the strike there mentioned to the manager of the hotel that some of the men looked pretty old for naval recruits and that possibly they were strikebreakers.
 When the manager learned that the men were enroute to Kansas City, he ordered them from the hotel and tele- phoned the police to send a guard,

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Conditions in Mexico make it problematical where the next days cash to run the govern ment is to come from, according to a statement issued here today by Henry Bruere. former chamberlain of New York City just returned from Mexico where he has been serving as financial and administrative advisor of the gov ernment recognizing the country's fi- , uancial system.
 "The military and the unsettled con ditions of the country are making the treasury officials wonder where the l next days cash is to come from" he said. For 1917-191S military expendi- ture alone is estimated at 127,000, 900 pesos. The total expenditure of the government in 1912-1913, the year of Madero's administration, was 110,000,- 900 pesos.
 "Oil and mining enterprises and the Mexican people-long suffering, re markedly recuperative people that they are-are producing a larger rev. enue for the government than it has ever had before but there will still be substantial deficit. Congress has au- thorized the president to borrow 150,- 000,000 pesos, but it is not specified how or where"
 Mexico has a stupendous govern mental problem. he said, but compar- atively few persons are able 10 do the work of the government" Too many of the abler Mexicans are still la menting the loss of former opportuni- ties and possessions, he said, and are "devoting little or no effort ot the bet terment of present conditions"
 Mexico needs help he continued, but her salvation will come from within. The government must be placed upon a basis of honesty and eff ficiency. MT. Carranza appreciates this and warmly approves the work of re- construction that we have under way in the department of finance. No quick remedy can be found for Mexi- can ills, although there are lot of people who have cures to offer.

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-The question of uniting with Pacific coast lumber men to fix an eight hour day in the lumber industry as a war measure in order to prevent a tieup of shipbuid- ing is likely to be discussed by the big lumbermen's associations at once. The problem arose when the Pacific firms were asked by Secretary Baker to grant the demands of striking em- ployes for an eight hour day. The westerners were unwilling to consider the request without some assurance that like action would be taken by their southern competitors.

THE CONVENT SCHOOL

1t is no new thing to discover that
the best place to educate girl is the
Catholic Convent. Even as far back
as the Ursuline Convent days, the
burning of which marked an unforget-
able epoch in the history of religious
bigotry, it was very common thing
to find non-Catholics sending their
girls to be trained by the Sisters.
Many a convent school f1ourishing to-
day owes much of it's success to the
good non Catholic men and women
who were generous supporters of the
schools to which they sent their
daughters. By the side of some of
these old convent schools some of the
modern universities for women look
like parvenuS.
And what was done In the old days
when there were no secular colleges
for girls is being done today. What
is better, it is being done today, not
out of necessity, but from the convic-
ton that the convent school is the
only logical place for the education of
a girl 1t would be interesting to.
know just how many non-Catholic
girls are being educated in the con-
vent schools of this country. The
number, we are sure, would be alarm
ing to the Guardians of Liberty.
Now there must be strong reason
for this choice on the part of non
Catholics who would be naturally sup
posed to have an inherited prejudice
against Catholic institutions. It is
not matter of mere sentiment. 1t
is sound business proposition. If
they put their girls under the care of
the Sisters, be sure that they have
thought out the matter and have been
convinced that no other course is feas-
ible.
A "Non-Catholic Father" judge
of the United States District Court,
gives in a recent number of Exten-
sion his reasons for sending his girls
to Catholic convent. His wife, who
had been teacher in a private school
for girls, had said of such schools:
There's too much snobbery in them,
too much materialism, too much en-
phasis on the purely social. Won
der why we can't establish institu-
tions of the ethical standards of the
Catholic converts"
When his wife died the Judge had
to face the problem of school for his
