Dear Mrs. Thompson: We ere

have been keeping company with
two young men who went with
two other girls for some time be-
fore we came. They still go with
these girls, but not as much Us they
did. The girls get angry with them
for coming to see US and they get
after them for doing so.
We like these men very much,
They tell us what the girls say to
them about coming to see US. Do
you think the men would toll US
what the girls say if they cared
very much for them?
What should we do about e?
T. AND T.
The men seem TO DO out for a
good time and without serious in
tentions toward either OF you. Whea-
r man cares for a girl he Is salts
fled to go with her only and to give
up other women.
The men should not tell you what
the other girls say. Since they
break their confidence with them
you may be sure that they do With
you.

At least one Saline county official

That is the text of a report from Sa-

been received in the state house to the
effect Saline county has already
pledged aid in the bank investigation.
The state house story and the report
from Salina are widely different. The
county attorney at Salina has assured
the attorney generals office that mon

its probe of the bank trouble. The
quotation credited to Muir is to theL4f-
feet that not one dime will be spent
until Wilson steps out of office.
Before 1 vote to appropriate money
to prosecute Broker and Lefferdink,
Muir is quoted as having said, walter
Wilson has got to get out of Office.
For three years the Traders State
and the Kansas State banks have been
on the verge of Insolvency and the

known it. Money has been spent pre-

nothing has been done. Where did
the money go? 1 haven't any faith In

SAVED FROM SEA!
Pessoa, Brazil President-Elect,
Taken From Disabled Ship.
Transferred With His Party to
Transport ImperatOr.

Washington. June 1s.-A wireless
message to the navy department early
today announced that the French
cruiser Jeanne d'Al had been dis
abIed at sea and that the transport
Imperator had taken off Doctor Pes
soa, president-elect of Brazil, and his
party who were enroute to the United
States from Lisbon. The message was
sent by Admiral Benson, who is re-
turning home from France on the bat
tleship Arkansas. with which the ship
Imperator communicated.
Think Cruiser Can Make Port.
Admiral Benson gave no details
other than the Jeanne d'Arc's engines
became disabled yesterday at o'clock
Greenwich time and three hours later
the Imperator came up and took off
the BraZilianS. The position of the
vessel at the time of transfer was not
given. The Imperator. which is bring
ing troops home from France. is ex-
pected to reach New York tomorrow
morning. So far as known there were
no passengers on the Jeanne dare
other than Doctor Pessoa and MEM
bers of his party. The fact that the
Imperator did not stand by the dis
abled cruiser and that no mention
was made of assistance being re-
quested is taken here to indicate that
the French warship is in no serious
danger. 1t is believed she will make
her own repairs and that the transfer
of the passengers to the American
transport was simply to avoid delay.
New York, June 18.-The French
cruiser Jeanne dare with President
elect Pessoa of Brazil and his party
aboard became disa oled at sea on
June Is, according to the report in

ing to the report the U. S. S. Impera-

and members of his party were taken
on board the Imperator which is pro-
ceeding to New York.

said the army transport Mongolia was

ing made.
