greater than any of It's predecessors.

SOCIETY AT CARNIVAL
Minstrel Show and Animal Attrac-
tons Draw the Best Crowds.

Wednesday night was the banner
night for attendance at the carnival
and for some reason not clearly ex-
planned it was also society night" for
many parties from the younger set,
socially prominent, we're strongly in
evidence and that they were satisfac-
torily entertained was evidenced by
the numerous complimentary re-
marks.
"Delmar of the Lions" was at his
best and ladled out a particularly sem
satfonal brand Of thrills, especially
when, with we'll directed blow of his
fist he felled the Jezebel of the den
while making a vicious attack. There
is time during the act when the
trainer. to display his complete mas
terry over the brutes disarms himself
and lies at the feet of the most vicious
of the beasts. He had just arisen and
was about to recover his weapons
when one of the lions charged and a
blow with the naked fist sent the
lioness a complete backward somer-
sault. and before the others could
charge, Delmar had recovered his
weapons and in few exciting seconds
had restored complete submission in
the cage.
The minstrel show has built up a
strong following and gives more
than ordinarily good performance,
while the many other attractions and
riding devices are literally patronized

NONPARTISAN LEAGUE.
Governor Cappcr Denies He Has Ever
Endorsed 1t.

In reference to a news story ap-
pearing IN the State Journal Wednes-
day evening the Capital this morning
makes this statement:
Governor Capper has never. directly or
by inference, % KID or Endorsed the
Non Partisan league. On the other hand
he directed the council of defense in each
county in which the Non Partisan league
is doing business to make thoro inquiry
into its operations and report to him any
utterances or actions upon the part Of any
officer agent or member of this organiza-
ton that savors of disloyalty in the slight
est degree.
Governor Capper also served notice
officially and in public speech upon the
officers of the Non-Partisan league and
the 10000 members which it claims in
Kansas. that the organization must give
heartiest support to the entire war pro-
gram of the government or they could not
do business in this state. The league
claims it is doing this, and no reports to
the contrary have come from the county
defense councils to either the state or the
federal officials.
"This Non-Partisan league story is
nothing more than another move of the
Anything to- Beat-Capper' politicians"

IN CLASSIC SKIES
OF ITALY YANKEE
AIRMEN PREPARE

American Seaplane Training Camp,
Central Italy, May 9.-Americans in
training here to become submarine
hunters and coast protectors combine
by occasional trips to a nearby town
or. less frequently, to Rome.
Their camp is located near the banks
of one of the volcanic lakes in the
mountains north of Rome. The winter
and spring have been mild and the
student aviators have been flying al
most every day since they came, I'M
der the direction of Italian instructor
pilots. They utilize the lake for
bathing.
Sometimes Go to Rome.
Those fortunate enough to have
toothache or teeth in the need of re-
pair may go to Rome for that pur-
pose, Uncle Sam not having yet pro-
vided a dentist exclusively for this as
he has at the bigger camp for aviators
in the south of Italy. AS teeth con-
meet with the nerves which are sup
posed to regulate the sense of equi-
librium, it will be understood just how
slider such troubles Without proper
sense of equilibrium a man can't fly
without running the risk of breaking
his neck or a valuable machine.
Sometimes money becomes draw
back to the Rome excursion, in view
of the irregularities of pay days. One
sharp youth from Missouri overcame
this handicap by borrowing French,
English or American money from his
comrades. In Rome he exchanged
this for Italian paper money at the
rate of eight and one-half lire to the
dollar, spent what was necessary to
see the sights and returned to the
camp with more money than he had
when he started. He repaid his debts
at the rate of five lire to the dollar.
