START MANY RUMORS
Northern Lights Started Stories of
Fires and ZeppeIins.

Have you heard that Chicago
burned down last night?" 1t was the
question that came over the wires this
morning from a Topeka woman who
already knew what the red glow in
the sky Thursday night" meant. Nor
would she be convinced that. the glow
was not the reflection of another great
Chicago fire.
AS it happens Chicago is still stand
ing in entirety-altho it is probable
that there were a few local fires thru
Thursday-and the red fire in the sky
was the famed aurora borealis of the
northland. 1t is the light that waivers
and crackles and flashes over the
snowy wastes of Alaska. Hardly ever
is the phenomenon seen as far south
as Kansas, tho farther north in Illinois
and Minnesota the sight is more often
visible.
Guesses as to the origin of the sight
were many and various just after the
lights faded out Thursday night The
guesses ranged all the way from an
opinion that the light was the
searchlight of a German Zeppelin to a
light on one of Uncle Sans bird men,
a burning haystack and one man was
heard to say that it was an omen sent
by the Lord as a warning that the day
of doom had arrived.

DENMARK is STARVING
Even Money of Wealthy Can't Buy

An Atlantic Port, March SIN Den

Treschow, consul general for Den
mark, 1t Chicago, a passenger on a
Danish ship arriving today, food con-

has not experienced them can know"

he said, adding that he hoped to be
able to assist in arranging some plan
which would alleviate the distress.
Not only the poor were in want for
food, he asserted, but also persons who
in ordinary times would be considered
well-to-do. Their money will not pur-
chase necessities, because they cannot
be obtained These conditions, he
said, had been brought about partly
by the submarine blockade and partly
by the embargo of the allies against
the neutral countries of Scandinavia.

ORGANIZE A JUNIOR r. C.
Students of Lincoln School Cut Wood
to Raise Funds.

Lincoln, Kan, March S.-The
students of the Lincoln school have
been busy during the last two weeks
in organizing a branch of the Junior
Red Cross.
Fifty boys under the direction of
their teachers cut and delivered on
one Saturday sufficient wood to pro-
duce fifty dollars for their fund. This
added to the sums earned by the girls
of the domestic arts department and
by the children of the grades gives the
Junior Red Cross of the Lincoln
schools sufficient money to make
every one of its five hundred children
a member. The children have been
busy for some time on Red Cross
work.

IN deck the coolies began to pray, and
though tits nothing to laugh at could
Aot help but chuckle at the way some

EVERY one of the coolies had a cane
and a pair Of Palm Beach trousers.
The Huns were loading them in fine
Ilifeboats to be taken back to the
Moewe with their sea bags and one of
them got too nervous and was slow
about getting into the lifeboat, SO the
Germans shot him without saying q
word.
Then the Germans called out the
names of those who had volunteered to
go stoking and this included me. We

and then they rousted us between

We had only been there a short time
when some of the German officers came
down and asked If any of the men

LESS BAGGAGE.

Travelling statesmen are asked to
carry less baggage. If the whole
sale houses do net voluntarily cut
down the number uf sample trunks
sent out with their drummers, Di-
rector General McAdoo viii enforce
some sort of truuk-rationing sys-
tenn.
Last year there were 24.OOOOOO
sample trunks carried on American
railroads. They constituted ) per
cent of the free baggage carried.
ANY reduction OF such a general
burden effects a desirable saving OF
labor. equipment and money. There
is 4 good specific reason, however,
for limiting the number OF trunks.
There are no longer enough bag
gaze cars to carry them. There are
only 900 baggage cars altogether
in this country and a great many OF
them have been Withdrawn and
made over into dining cars for
troop trains.
The curtailment Is not expected
to cause any real hardship. 1t will
merely entail a change o: method.
Instead OF carrying SO many varie-
tie, 4 salesman i, eN. ected TO car

This is right along 'he line OF an
other big change that Is coming

the curtailmcut OF travelling itself.
The tendency is move and more to
sell goods not bv personal vista
ton, but BY use OF comprehensive
and attractive Catalogues. with the
free use OF the mails. telegraph and
long distance telethoue.
All these innovations tend TO re
duce the demands on iransporta-

THOSE WOMEN IN WHITE.
Confidential Correspondence from
the Devil to the kaiser)
De-coded by Eugene H. Blake, OF
The Vigilantes.

Dear Wilhelm:
Here's something we've got to
watch close. Women all over the
United States are going around
dressed in white working every min
ute rolling bandages and collecting
funds. Women who have always
gone off to summer resorts this time
of the year are staying in cities and
swarming into hot crowded rooms
to cut and sew and pack. They
flock down to railway stations to
cheer the soldiers on the trains and
give them food and drink-no mat
ter what time OF night.
A whole lot of these women have
escaped out submarines ard appear
ed in every country you and have
tried to bring under our kultur and
frightfulness. They go to. the very
battlefields after the wounded and
take care of women and children
from regions we have devastated. |
can't believe there is any real dam
ger of their undoing all the miser-
les we can inflict if we wish Ger
man peace on the world, bu. Wi
helm, they are making an amazing
effort at it,
And that's why the American
people are pouring out their dol
lars to back them. They know
where the money goes and have
quit believing what we started about
waste and graft. In the United
States it's got SO anyone would as
soon admit that he had committed
crime as admit that he had not
given these workers what he could
to undo what we have done. Gou
remember Caligula OF Rome wished
mankind had only one neck so he
could chop it off at single whack.
| wish we could get all this tribe
of women on a hospital ship big
enough to haul them at one load,
so that we could send them where
we sent the women and children
on the Lusitania.
See if you can think up some
thing. And get busy as quick as YOU
can, Wilhelm.
Yours for unmitigated kultur,
THE DEVIL.

ships at the other in an endless
row.
1t is Henry Ford's "flivver' pro-
cess transferred from automobiles
to ships. The Eagle Boats are real
ships, more than 200 feet long and
weighing nearly 1000 tons, produc-
ed by man who admits that he
knows nothing whatever about or
dinary shipbuilding. This particu-
lar submarine fighter, sort OF
modified destroyer, is in itself a
totally new type OF craft. But its
design is of less interest than the
method of making it, method APP
Piled to one OF the Oldest of in
dustrial arts, for the first time in
history.
Here is a naval "Tin Lizzie" a
formidable fighting ship built en-
tirely out of sheet steel stampings,
without a single bit of forging or
a rolled beam or shape in the whole
craft. Keel, floors, frames. beams
and angles, all are pressed from
sheet metal, cold by automatic ma
chinery that cuts every piece to an
exact pattern, punches the rivet
holes and bends the part to its
final shape. All there is to build
ing such ship is to place the num-
bered pieces together and rivet them
fast. Any mechanic can learn that
work in day or two.
One more big thing never done
before-one more little item in Un-
Gle Sans war. The same principle
is being applied in the big, new
shipyard at Hog Island, in the pro-
duction of fabricated ships" but
not so completely.
''W ont these Eagle Boats help
show Germany how foolish war
is?' asks Mr.. Ford, erstwhile pac-
fist. They will, we trust. And the
flivver warships will do more than
give sea schrecklichkeit its death
blow. They will help Prussia to a
realization of the tremendous IN
dustrial power she raised up against
her when she drove America into
The war.
