Stacker because the corn crop is badly
in need of sunshine.
The official forecast calls for partly
cloudy weather tonight and Thursday
with not much change in temperature.
The lowest temperature during the
last "a hours was SO at 6:45 this morn
ing. At 10 o'clock the mercury had
risen to only rs and it was not ex-
pected to go beyond IS at any time
during the day.
The temperatures were below nor
NAL today and were not expected to
go much higher during the next "a
hours. Tomorrow the high mark will
again be around IS.
A few scattered showers were re-
ported over the state Tuesday night
and more are expected. but they will
be so light that the precipitation will
be almost negligible. No rain is ex-
pected here.
The highest temperature ever re-
corded here On this date was 81 in
1911 and the lowest 40 in 1910. All
rivers today were reported at mod
crate stages, the Kaw registering 8
feet, a slight rise over Tuesdays

u. S. NAVAL FORCE


Virginia capes. These rumors sug-
gested further contact between Ameri-
can patrols and TJ-boats. Contact was
first established yesterday when a de-
stroyer surprised a submarine attack
ing the French steamer Radioleine
off Maryland. The raider escaped.
The navy is gratified at getting in
touch with the HUI even tho it could
not at the moment get a fair shot.
While it is possible she will be able to
skulk away despite the vigilance of
the American patrol, it is felt that the
nection. it was recalled today that
press reports told how destroyers
hung on to the spot where the oil
tanker William Rockefeller was sunk
abroad and finally were rewarded by
having the U-boat come up for air.
Is Not Super-U-Boat.
Naval officers today pieced together
reports as to the raider or raiders and
believed from them Germany is not
sending across any super" type of
submarine. The raiders are probably
from 200 to 800 feet in length, of
from 500 to 1000 tons, and probably
capable of carrying rather more sup
plies than the usual 500 type. The
length of stay on American shores
without replenishment at a base on
this side, depends on two factors
food and oil. If the U-boats did much
sailing, theao supply would give out
rapidly.
Officers have inclined to think ten
days or so would be the limit of stay
based on oil supply and limited
amount of cruising after arrival.
However. If yesterdays attacker was
one of those here on May rs, she has
outstayed that period.
As for food. 1t was suggested that
the raiders had had a chance to strip
their victims of new supplies.
Boat Tactics Puzzling.
Authorities here have difficulty in
puzzling why the submersibles had
made a raid which at the best is spec
tacular and does no military damage.
Originally, 1t was suggested that ex-
haustion of supplies was compelling
the U-boats to hit and run. However,
the length of their operations rather
bellies this theory. Hence, there is an
inclination to think that Won Capelle
figured largely on the spectacular.

of the raids off shore would have q

THE HINDENBURG MYSTERY

If the redoubtable Hindenburg is
Gas right as q trivet" it is evident
that he did not suffer fatal attack
of apoplexy after an interview with
his imperial master, the War Lord, in
May. But if, instead of directing
military operations on the western
front, he has become, temporarily, at
least, a Bohemian, and resident OF
the Emperor Charles country, then It
is altogether probable that that
stormy interview with William II Is
fact, and that the Field Marshal used
words to the divinely anointed Hohcn-
Zollern which incapacitated him from
commanding the German armies and
even indicated the desirability of lcaV-
ing the jurisdiction Of the German
Emperor.
Last winter, when the Socialists
were threatening to vote against the
next war credit, and Chancellor vo?
Hertling was threatening to resign II
they said anything more about the
peace resolutions of July 10 last year.
Hindenburg took the contract of dellv-
ering German triumph by August,
At cost not to exceed 100000 cas-
ualties, and in consideration thereof
the Socialists voted the money and
the Chancellor retained his Office.
1t became perfectly apparent in
May that H;ndenburg could not de-
liver the goods. 1t would be entirely
in keeping with the Kaiser's character
if he spoke rudely about this to the
unsuccessful Field Marshal. The tenn
per and vocabulary OF Hindenburg are
known to be such that he probably
replied in terms not used in Potsdam.
Earlier in the war there was genera!
O. less distinction who had similar
interview with the Kaiser, and then,
recognizing that his usefulness as
German general was at an end, he
stepped into an adjoining room and
shot himself.
Won Hindenburg is not the sort OF
man to commit suicide and deprive
himself of the opportunity of seeing
William get what is coming to him.
He replies to inquiring friends of the
Fatherland party that he sis looking
calmly at the future And his calm
ness is due TO the fact that he fore
sees what is going to happen to his
imperial majesty. He knows thai
Fate will avenge the insults he re-
ceived al that interview IN May. IN
all probability he restrained himself
from kicking or pulling the nose OF
the German Emperor. but he looks
calmly Al I, future which will bring
much worse things than that upon the
Mad Observation-Disclosures Record.
