people. Mr.. President, the provisional
state council tenders you deepest graf
itude and respect in its own name and

The "city manager bilf' was intro
duced by Senator Nighswonger of
Sedgwick. altho he stated it was not

by some one at the State university.
Several university people apd numer-
Gus members of the Kansas Municipal
league were on the floor during the
discussion and if the author was
among them he did not feel flattered.
One lawyer after another declared
that the bill was so loosely drawn that
it did not mean what was intended.
1t was patched UP paragraph at a
time, amendments were inserted and
added, new sections were adopted and
whole sections stricken out.
Senator Getty stated fatty that he
is opposed to the city manager idea

practically the same statement. Yet

AIR SOCIETY SCANDAL
Diplomats Fuss Reveals All Night

Washington, Jan. 31.-Baron Zwei-

kicked up here over noisy all-night
dances and other social functions at
the fashionable Playhouse.
The British ambassador headed a
group that complained they could not

WOMEN FOR PEACE
Big Demonstration Held in the
Capital of Austria.
President Wilson Urged to Help
Bring War to End.

Berlin, Jan. 31.-Dispatches from
meeting in favor or peace held in the
Austrian capital on Sunday. Numer-
Gus messages were received from 9TH
er Women's associations -.mong the
communications read at the mass
meeting was one from Danish women
expressing strong s. pathy for the
movement of peace
Several women in speeches discuss
ed President Wilson's senate address
and his previous moves in behalf of
peace. The mass meeting adopted a
resolution in which the women well
coined numerous peace demonstrations
and urged the men and women of the
hostile countries Ito tell the world that
they, too. want peace
The women further urged the Soy-
ernments and peoples of the neutral
countries, particularly President Will
son, whose program for world peace
they fully endorsed, to continue in The
work for peace.
For two main reasons special
significance may be attached to the
above dispatch. 1t is the first news
transmitted by the semi-official Over
seas News agency since the outbreak
of the war telling of a mass meeting
in behalf of peace held anywhere in
the Teutonic empires.

speeches tend to show that President

REPRINTED FROM
THE DAILY TRADE RECORD

Price of Navy Oyercoating Cloth
Advances 40 Per Cent.-The Unit
ed states Navy Department opened
proposals last week for furnishing
10000 wards of 3O-ounce blue lin
digo dyed) overcoating cloth for de-
livery throughout 1917. Three mills
submitted proposals per specifica-
tions, as follows: s. Slater & Sons,
s5.42 a yard; Patterson & Green
ough, 55.46 Y, ana Warrenton
Wooden Co, 1854.
These bids average $3.50 per yard
and official records show that the
United States Navy Department
purchased the same cloth just pre-
vious to the outbreak of the Europ-
can war at $2.30 per yard. 1t is,
therefore. interesting to note that
the price has advanced 1925 a yard,
or about 140 per cent.
Mills bidding for United States
government orders quote their very
lowest prices. as the bids are sub
mitted in competition and the gov
ernment's orders are desirable for
many reasons; that is, the yardage
ordered is large and a manufacturer
is enabled to make large quantities
of one fabric at a lower cost than is
possible to make small quantities of
numerous fabrics. consequently.
the manufacturer is able to get a
maximum production at a minimum
of cost. Furthermore, there is no
credit risk involved in selling goods
to the United States government
and it is reasonable to believe that
the figures quoted above accurately
forecast what advances in prices
may be expected on uniform cloths
for delivery during the coming year.
