Crest of Flood Wave Now Past
Rivers Recede.
MANY PERSONS NARROWED
Montgomery, Ala, Was Hardest
Hit of Amy City.
Railways and Industries Suf-
fered Huge Losses.

Atlanta. Dec. IL. - Unprecedented
floods in Alabama, Georgia and Miss
issippi, that started early in the week
generally were receding today but
rivers not greatly affected during the
first two or three days, were out of
banks and causing heavy property loss.
This was particularly true at Mont
gomery where the swollen Alabama
had almost paralyzed the city's indus
tries without doing great damage to
the Alabama capital itself.
Floods of the past week have
covered such large territory that
no detailed estimates of loss have
become available but compilation of
various reports indicates they will
total several million dollars.
Probably the worst effects of the
flood anywhere today were felt in
Montgomery where street car service
was suspended because of lack of cur
rent and schools were closed. Many
persons were marooned around the
city, but only five lives We're lost ac-
cording to available reports. The toll of
life was generally small thru the three
states probably not amounting to more
than score in all.
Train service still was badly de-
moralized in lower Alabama Missis-
sippi and Georgia. but from Hatties-
burg came reports some trains would
be resumed during the day. Railroads
suffered heavily from washouts and
industries from their plants being
flooded, while farmers lost hundreds

The men all are proud of their ef-

sas grit in getting out as much as they
have under heretofore impossible con-

Kansas University miners hung up a
new record of seven cars today. Wash
loaded five cars. The Aggies loaded
six cars, just one car short of the K.
u record. and Baker students loaded
two cars, almost the maximum pro-

Social Unrest Caused by Ignor-

President Wilson in Magazine
Article Offers New Panacea.

New York. Dec. 12.-'The cure for
social unrest in this country is a fuller
knowledge of American institutions"
declares President Wilson In an article
written for the current number of the
Independent
Men today are blessed with a new
curiosity about their governments,
says the president. Everywhere they
are demanding that the doors behind
which secret policies have been incu-
bated be thrown open and kept open
henceforth. The doors that do not
respond to the keys the people hold
will be battered down and free pas
sake ways erected in their stead.
. "Autocratic governments of the past
have lived by concealment, free gov
ernnfent must live by understanding.
In the new day that Is dawning> only
those governments that have no secrets
from their peoples can long endure.
do not say that such government
will make no mistakes but I do say
mistakes will be fewer and more
easily corrected when all govern
ments are guided by well informed
public opinion.
Unrest is evident everywhere thru
out the world. 1t is not of itself a
disease, but a symptom Of disease. In
our own country the disease lies rim
cipally outside the government Those
who think otherwise are mostly the
newcomers and the men they have in
fluenced. The cure for their disquiet
is fuller knowledge of American in
stitutions. In this nation the people
have in their ballots. the instruments
of peaceful change.
I'VE can know if change is desir-
able only by knowing all the facts
about the thing we wish to alter. The
journals that give the facts about gov
eFnment, its policies and activities set
down by the men principally RESPONSE
bic for them. will perform a public
service. They will afford a medium
thru which the government can report

BENEFIT FAMILIES OF X. N. G.
Sousa's Band to Play at Kansas Uni
Versity This Month.

Lawrence. Dec. 12.-Sousa's band
will play at the University of Kan
sas December Is for the benefit of
the families of Kansas guardsmen
who are On duty in the Kansas coal
fields. The concert was first ar
ranged by Dean Harold L. Butler of
the university school of fine arts to
make up a possible deficit in bringing
operate stars to the university to sing
before the students, but when Dean
Butler learned that families of guards
men were in need he at once an
nounced that the proceeds of the con-
cert would go to them. The univers-
ity and the Lawrence high school have
declared a half holiday to insure a
full house for the concert.
IF any of the families of Kansas
guardsmen continue to be in need
we're not going to stop at this one
concert" said Dean Butler. We're
going to organize a concert company
among faculty and students in the
music department and give concerts
thruout the state during the Christ
mas holidays. We have enough talent
to give excellent programs and the
cause surely would make the concerts
well attended"

ALLEN AIDS BETTER SPEECH.
Every School System in State Behind
New Movement.

I Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 12.-Governor
Henry J. Allen and the Kansas teach
ers of English are pushing a move
ment which aims at better. American
speech. Each school system in the
state is asked to set aside one week IN
in which by special programs, page
ants, plays and slogans the people of
Kansas are stimulated to greater pride
in their mother tongue. The gover-
nor's statement is as follows:
A Better Speech Week for Kansas
suggests 4 movement which is country
time in recent years has there been
more urgent need for. a. new apprecia-
ton of our common English speech.
The present unrest and the uncer-
tainty concerning the allegiance of
some who have for years, If not for a
life time, enjoyed the benefits of our
American institutions. give peculiar
reason why we should exalt the inn
portance and dignity of our speech.
Each man has tools peculiar to his
vocation-the carpenter his plane,
the miner his pick, the tradesman his
price list, the student his text book;
but every true citizen whatever his oc-
cupation should use his American
language.
A Better Speech Week calls attention
to the importance of our language. By
this bond people from all lands. well
coined into the bodypolitic, are bound
together by a tie that is stronger than
, brass or steel. With this means of
approach, men Of all classes and ways
of thinking are brought into SYM
pathy with on another and led into
common service.
Our language should be respected
because of what it stands for and be-
| cause of what it does. in promoting
the unity and ideals of the American
people. commend every effort made
| by the schools of the state to train
| our, citizens IL: the cultivation OF lucid
! forceful, aid uncorrupted diction.
| This is the real Kansas language.
