ACT ON RUSSIA SOON
President Awaits Advice of Inter.
Allied War Council Before Deciding.

Washington, July 5.-Sett1ement of
the Russian problem is believed to be
only a matter of few days. The ad-
vice of the inter-allied supreme war
council will be quickly available.
Its absence yesterday explains Presi-
dent Wilson's failure to discuss the
problem in his speech at Mount Yer
non. Lord Reading, British ambassa-
dor, had urged him not to commit
himself to any definite line of policy
which would bind this government.
And the president, deferring to this
wish, agreed to await the suggestions
of the war council
1t will advise action INN ediately,
according to entente information to-
day. But the outline of this action is
still unrevealed.
Authorities incline to think that the
wisest plan would be to assist the
CheZc-Slavoks who have captured
Vladivostok and who are pressing their
advantage to the westward.

HOW THEY TOOK HAMEL
Yanks and Tommies Went Over Ton
Behind Heavy Smoke Screen.

With the British Armies in France,
July 5.-The battle east of Amiens
yesterday morning is destined to oc-
cupy niche in history, altho it may be
considered a small engagement.
There the Australians, aided by
American detachments, fell upon Will
helm of Hohenzollern's men and
signally defeated them in a surprise
attack at daybreak. taking 1900 pris-
oners. All detectives were attained
and the allied losses were slight.
No Artillery Preparation.
The attack began without artillery
preparation. Two minutes before the
troops went over, British guns began
a bombardment. A smoke screen
quickly cloaked the battle front from
the Ancre to the Luce "a front of
about twelve miles. extending north
and south of the Somme.)
Tanks Led the Way.
Suddenly, a great number of tanks.
which had been brought up secretly
during the night. emerged from the
smoke cloud in the center before the
terrified Huns. The latter resisted only
weakly, holding up their hands and
crying "kamarad."
Behind the tanks came the infan-
try, moving forward steadily and oc-
cupying Hamel village and Vaire and
Hamel woods.

IRIS BOOKS IN MOVIES
Royalties From Roosevelt Pictures
Will Go to Red Cross.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 5.-To help
the Red Cross and other war charities
Col. Theodore Roosevelt has consent
ed to allow his books to be placed be-
fore the motion picture public. After
he had completed details for the pro-
duction of the pictures. Colonel
Roosevelt said:
Several of the more important pro-
ducers of mo- on pictures have ap-
preached me with plans for films,
based on the books tl-at 1 have writ
ten. 1 have never considered any of
these offers seriously until recently,
when it occurred to me that large
lean Red Cross or other war charities
thru the production and exhibition of
such pictures.
81 have, therefore, consented to the
production of a limited number of
pictures. to be exhibited in accord
plan, on the definite condition that all
of the royalties received by me during
the war shall be devoted to such war
charities as I may designate.
knowing very little about the film
business myself, I have placed all of
my motion picture affairs in the hands
of Frederick L. Collins, publisher of
McClure's magazine, who already has
wide int. ests in the motion picture
field, and who is, I believe, in posi-
ton to produce these pictures. or to
obtain their production under his
supervision in a dignified and success
full manner.
81 shall be very glad to cooperate
in every possible way with Mr.. Collins
and his associates in the hope that a
considerable sum may be raised to
| help meet war needs. The final sue
cess of the undertaking of course de-
ponds not upon me but upon the con-
sideration and support of the great
motion picture public. Exactly to the
extent that the motion picture public
approves these pictures. it will help to
provide additional means for backing
the men at the front"
Mr.. Collins added:
THE uppermost thought in Colonel
Roosevelt's mind today is to win the
war.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's more
recent patriotic writings of a nom
political character, such as Fear God
and Take Your Own Part Put the
Flag on the Firing Line and The
Hun Within Our Gates should GER
tainly be among the first films to be
produced, altho a picture of more
general character based on Theodore
Roosevelt. An Autobiography may
be the first production to be released
1t is understood that many of the
scenes in the films will be taken about

NOT A PARTY TO IT.
Kansas Natural Has Nothing
To Do With Dollar Gas Rate.
VIII Not Join i'm Raise Attempt,
Attorney Stone Says.
DISTRIBUTING CO.'S DID IT
Mother Concern Would Like To
Give 60-Cent Rate a Test.
'sIncreaSe at This Time Is Ill
Timed" Stone Declares.
DISTRIBUTING CO.'S DID IT

The Kansas Natural Gas company
was not a party to the move to boost
gas rates to dollar in Kansas towns
according to Robert Stone of Topeka.
an attorney for the gas company re-
ceiver. Stone declares that the Kan
sas Natural will not join in an attempt
to advance rates until the new 60
cent rate has had a fair test. Notices
to consumers by distributing compan-
les were in no manner inspired by the
producing company, he stated.
Owing to the gas shortage last win
ter, the 60-cent rate did not, have a
fair test, Stone said. Increased pro-
duction during the last few months
however. has practically insured an
adequate supply for the coming win
ter. For that reason the Kansas Nat
ural will be content with the 60-cent
order until it proves Improbable to
the producers. Actions now pending
before Judge Booth will also be dis
posed of before the Kansas Natural
makes a further move.
Kansas Natural Not Consulted.
1--WE were not consulted at all by
announced their intention to put IN
effect the new S0-cent rate" said Mr..
Stone. when the distributing COM
panies applied recently to Judge
Booth of the fedaral court for a 81
rate, the receivers of the Kansas Nat
urdl opposed IL. We LIKEWISE oppose
an S0-cent rate at this time because
we feel that the 60-cent rate has not
been given a fair trial. If the city or
consumers agree with the company
on an increased rate, we could have
no objection, unless the rate be SO
high that it would cause discontinue
ance of the use of gas. If the city and
consumers are opposing the present
rate. we are ir accord with them. The
announcement of this new rate was a
complete surprise to us.
Will Wait on Decision.
Gan appeal now is pending before
the United States supreme court on
the present 60-cent gas rate, and we
do not feel like conditions should be
disturbed until that case is decided. II
is set for hearing October Il. We feel
that the matter of an increased rate
at least should not be considered until
we have a decision in this case. espe-
cially so when the 60-cent rate has not
been given a fair trial. The gas was
so low last winter that this was i'm
possible. The Kansas Natural has ex-
pended millions in extensions and i'm
provements, and hopes for an in
creased supply of gas this winter, al
which time the Sufficiency of the pres
ent rate could be given a fair test
Until the 60-cent rate has had a fair
| test, and especially while this rate is
awaiting consideration by the United
| States supreme court, we feel that in
panies are i'll timed. and we want the
consumers and the city to know that
| the Kansas Natural Gas Co. was just
as surprised as they were when the
proposed increase to eighty cents was
announced in the press yesterday.'-

MAY SELL GLOBE LIFE
Nebraska Company After Kansas Con-
cern-Attorney General Objects.

Salina, J-.y 5.-The sale of the
Globe Life Insurance Co, of this city
to a Nebraska company, is one of the
possibilities arising out of the trouble
into which Felix Broker, president,
plunged the institution as a result of
the alleged shortage in his accounts
for which he has been bound over to
the August term of the district court.
The purpose of the deal cannot be
surmised at this time, according to
local stockholders, except that it is
likely that the Nebraska stockhold-
ers are anxious to gain control in or
der that they may dictate the future
course of the transaction under the
Nebra ska laws.
"A suit las been brought against the
Globe Life Insurance Co. in an at
tempt to gain possession of the records
of t. company and to compel Charles
F. Hobbs to allow o. F. Spoon, a
stockholder, to examine the books.
Judge Dallas Grover. of the district
court, gave the Globe company, thru
its attorneys, ten days in which to file
an answer. This suit, it is said, is
similar to one that was brought
against the National Casualty Bond
ing Co, one of the Broker companies.
people. In this case, however, the
state of Kansas has an interest in the
suit. since the insurance department,
with the guidance of the attorney gen.
erals department, is in active charge
of the affairs Of the company, and is
protecting the stockholders at every
turn in affairs of the company.
Atty. Gen. q. NJ. Brewster in COM
menting on the case that has Just been
brought, said that when the state be-
came interested in the Globe Life In
surance Co. matters. they found that
$4,000 of its funds. and a number
OF notes belonging to the company,
were missing, and that a large amount
OF its stock had been sold in Nebraska
in manner that made 1t uncertain
whether or not it was valid outstand-
ing stock. Under the administration
of the state officers the 100000 has
been returned to the company and the
Strengthening out of other matters is
under way.
In the tangle the stock sales are
now in, 1t is impossible at this time
to either lQuidate the company or
turn it back to the stockholders, said
Attorney General Brewster He said
the state officers have no desire to
keep from the stockholders the real
financial condition of the company,
but rather it is the intention of the
officers to protect the stockholders
fully and in the best way that it can
possibly be done. The officers do not
feel like giving the list of the stock
holders to attorneys SO that litigat ton
on the part of the stockholders NAV
be 1nstigated to the detriment of such
stockholders or all other stockholders.
