TURKS BREAK WITH GERMANS
Dispatch From constantInoPie Says
I Relations Have Been Severed
Washington Not Surprised.

London, July 30.-"The relations be-
tween Germany and Turkey have been
severed, according to direct informa-
ton from Constantinople"
This announcement is made by the
Copenhagen correspondent Of the Ex-
change Telegraph Company.
The excitement against Germany,
the adYices further say, has been
growing, particularly after last weeks
events. The Germans recently de-
manded the cruiser Hamidieh, the
only large ship then in possession OF
Turkey, as compensation for the Bres-
Iau, the former German cruiser which
was destroyed in the Dardanelles
while under the Turkish flag. De-
spite Turkeys protest, the Hamidieh
has departed for SebastopoI with the
German flag flying.
Washington, July 3O--WhiIe no Of

tons between Turkey and Germany

without doubt, Austria is involved

Ottoman government-has reached
Washington, officials expressed little
surprise tonight at the Copenhagen
dispatch received from London saying
Germany and Turkey had severed re-
Iations.
In official circles here for some
time past il has been realized that in
her efforts to serve both Turkey and
Bulgaria in the division Of spoils, re-
su1ting from the enforced treaty with
Rumania, Germany had incurred the
i'll will of both her allies.
Following the conclusion Of the
peace treaty with Rumania at Jassy,
both Turkey and Bulgaria laid claim
to much OF the territory which Ru-
mania had been forced to cede to her
enemies. Included in these claims
was the title to the railway running
from Adrianople to Deadeagatch and
this became the source OF the greatest
contention between the two allied ma
tons. Germany for some time en-
deaYored to induce the two countries
to settle this dispute amicably, by
suggesting that the nation which fail
ed to obtain the railway should re-
ceive other compensation

FEARS AMERICA-JAPAN PACT
Argument Between Nations, a
Cologne Paper Says.

The Hague, July 3Ol-News that
Japan will intervene in Siberia, but
especially the fact that Japan and
America have come to terms, has
caused acute interest in Germany,
particularly as the papers have been
prophesying exactly to the contrary,
and there were undoubtedly many
people in Germany who still banked
on a future alliance with Japan. II
Japan and America are to act jointly
in Siberia, the Koelnische VoIkszei-
tung points out, then it means an
agreement has been reached between

Silos IN war times are being mEde
q feature OF the present campaign
pushed by the state council of de-
tense for this form of stock feed.
Professor C. w. McCampben of the
department OF animal industry and
Professor J. B. Fitch of the dairying
department Of the state agricultural
college, both advocate silage and the
silo as an economic need on every
farm where cattle are produced. Even
in times of peace they urge it's adop-
ton and in times Of war and high
prices it is an absolute necessity The
bulletin just issued by the college I'M
der their direction says:
"Our civilian people and our armies,
as well as our Allies and their armies,
are calling for more beef and dairy
ing products. These can be produced
only through supply OF cheap feed
which in turn can be supplied only
by the proper utilization of the rough
feeds, many of which have otherwise
no commercial value The silo offers
the solution to the problem. Not only,
for example, will the silo save 40 per
cent of the corn crop from waste and
deterioration. but it puts it in better
condition for feeding purposes.
"One acre Of corn preserved in the
form of siIage has a feeding equiva-
lent to that Of one and one-half to
two acres preserved in the form Of
shock corn. In seasons where the
grain fails to develop the ratio in
favor of silage may run as high as
one to five"

Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
STATE MANAGER SAVED MONEY
James A. kImbaH Kept Kansas Insti-
tutions Within Their Apprcpri-
atoms Last Year.

With practically every item OF sup
plies used by the state institutions at
least doubled in price, James A Kim
ball, business manager of the Kansas
Board Of Administration, has been
able to keep the institutions within
the appropriations allotted by the
legislature in 1917, and even with a
slight balance on the right side of the
ledger at the close of the fiscal year.
Mr.. KimbaH has made his annual
report to Governor Capper Of the
work of supplying the institutions
during the first years he was in office.
He has charge Of the buying for TWEEN
ty-six different places, including all
of the educational, penal and charit-
able institutions. While none of the
institutions had any great sum Of
money unexpended, the total for all
aggregates half a million dollars,
which may be used this year. Five
and a quarter million dollars was ap-
propriated to these institutions for
the year.
This is the first time in the history
Of Kansas that no deficit accounts ap-
pear in any of the institutions, show
ing the great value to the state Of
real business management of their fl
nancial affairs.
In his report to the governor, Mr..
Kimball said that prices on many ar
ticIes had gone so high this year that
he expected that some small addi-
tional funds would have to be made
available. by the 1919 legislature to
carry the institutions through the
present fiscal year. That will be quite
small, compared with the total ap-
preparations, probably aggregating
100000 for the twenty-six institu-
lions.
Many articles Of necessity have
trebled in price in the last two or
three years, thread being about the
only article which was bought at a
less figure this year than year ago.
