Bracket of Chicago, who has been
spending his winters in Califor-
MIA because of the better roads and
more of them, and better golfing
facilities, is talking of buying $40
acres of land southeast Of Punta

A complaint was filed in the office
of the court of Topeka this morning by
E e. Pierce, charging a man named
Nichols, whose first name is unknown,
with attempting to commit a statu-
tory offense against May Pierce, : ~
year-old girl. about three weeks ago.
1t seems that the little girl and her
10-year-old brother were playing in
the vicinity of Sixth and California
avenues when the man approached
them and told them that If they would
do some work at his house in East
Hill he would pay them. They did
some work about the house and &C
copied his invitation to return and
make more money.
Next day, it seems, he sent the boy
to the barn and taking the little girl
in the kitchen, locked the door. The
boy, hearing screams, knocked at the
door. which Nichols soon opened and
released the little girl, it was said. E.

FRANCE WILL JOIN
Will, With L. S., Give Germany Any
Aid Needed.

Washington, Nov. 12.-France will
Join with the United States in giving
any relief to Germany that is along
the lines of justice.
This is the stand of Premier Glenn
enceau on Doctor Soils urgent plea to
President Wilson, according to cables
to the French high commission today.
"As the situation in Germany is
helpless, we will do our best to revict-
ualize her. as much as we can afford
the French premier stated.
1.-THE transport question is a vital
one in relation to the food supply.
Germany is going to restore all the
engines and the 10000 railway cars
taken from us. This will not facilitate
her own revictual action.
Germany waited until the last mo-
mest, when exhausted, to capitulate.
She is not in the normal condition
which would enable her to aid her
self. From the first hour We must
come to her assistance. We do not
make war against humanity but on be-
half of humanity
