h. OF C. NIGHT SCHOOL POPULAR.
More Than $50 Applicants for Instruc-
ton in Topeka.

There are $50 applicants among ex-
service men now enrolled for the new
Knights of Columbus night school
which will open early in March. The
plan has been endorsed strongly BY
the American Legion and by the World
War Veterans. The enrolment is ex-
pected to reach at least 800 before the
school opens.
DtF. Hally has been chosen by the
local committee of the knights of
school. Mr.. Haliy, who is in business
in the Ehrlich Hally tire shop, 21S
West Sixth avenue, was graduated
from the College of Emporia and for
two years was principal of the Horton
high school. He has had considerable
experience $n night school work.
Admission TO the school is free to
ex-service men, with all supplies fur
nished by the school. Each student
may take two subjects. The only
requirement asked in return from the
student is that he attend regularly and
keep up interest in his work. Men
who were not in the army, navy or
marine corps will be admitted to the
school for a nominal fee.
Expenses of the school will be paid
entirely from the Knight of Columbus
war work fund, of which there is a
surplus of $8,000,000. AS the money
was not used while the men were in
service, this has been worked out to
use the money for the men after they
arc out of service.
A particular promise will be exacted
from the instructors in the night
school and that will be that they allow
no BolSheVik ideas to enter into the
schoolroom lessons or discussions.

Paris, Feb. 16.-The French press is
aroused at. reports that President
Wilson has sent a note to the entente
informing them that If they settle the
Adriatic question without American
concurrence, the United States cannot
concern itself further with settlement
of pending European questions.
La Liberte is particularly bitter in
its criticism, declaring that Wilson,
from his proud isolation" in the
White House, is again attempting to
direct affairs on the continent, "of
which he has no conception" The
newspaper said the note was delivered
to the big three" by Ambassador
Wallace and that it declared the
United States could not recognize
either enforcement of the pact of Lon
don or the recent compromise agree
ment presented to the. Jugo-Slav gov
crnment by the council of premiers.

Lansing. President Wilson from his

The news of Wilson's latest note
was received in Paris almost stimuli
taneously with reports from London
declaring that the council OF premiers
had made substantial progress on set
Element of the various questions.
The Jugo-Slav government, it was
said, would not accept either the Lon

Advlces from Belgrade, as quoted in
London dispatches, said the Jugo-Slav
government was firm in its decision
to hold out for its original contention
of enforcement of President Wilson's
plan for settlement of the Adriatic
dispute.
Note Creates Sensation.
Coming on the heels of dispatches
telling Of the presidents dismissal
of Secretary Lansing. the report of
Wilson's note created a sensation in
political circles here.
Practically the entire press regarded
the Lansing episode as dismissal of
the secretary and characterized it as
"autocratic and unjustifiable."
THE manner of eliminating Lansing
leaves no doubt that Wilson's auto

Federal Company Awards Contract for
Modern Club House in MuIIan

Mullan is to be congratulated up
on the construction of the magnifi-
cent club house that will soon occupy
a commanding location in that pro-
gressive community, and the Federal
Mining & Smelling company is also
deserving of congratulation for this
substantial contribution to the well
fare of its employees in the Morning
mine and mill and to the people of the
community which largely depends up
on its successful operations. Some
three years ago Frederick Burbidge,
general manager Of the Federal Min
ing & Smelling company announced
that plans were being prepared for
modern club house for the benefit Of
employees of the company, the purpose
at that time being to place it near the
Morning mine. War conditions made
it necessary to postpone carrying out
these plans, and in the meantime the
enterprising business men Of Mullan
through the local commercial club
took up the matter with Mr.. Burbidge
with the view to having the club
house i'm Mullan and extending its
privileges to the public, instead of
limiting membership to employees Of
the Morning. As an fnducement to
make this change, the business men
of Mullan offered to provide desir-
able site for the building. The propo-
sition was favorably received by Mr.
and agreement was reached
on a splendid location in the heart Of
the town. Owing to the scattered
ownership of the lots, much time has
been consumed in perfecting the title
and making the transfer to the Federal
company This has now been &C
complished, q contract has been let
to Charles Freedmen Of this city. for
the construction Of the building. and
it is expected that excavation for the
basement and foundation viii begin
today. The building and furn .shings
will cost the Federal company in
round figures $4,000.
The club building will be of brick
with ornamental cornice
and facings for the openings, having

to a new process for the manufacture

but received no communication from
Mr.. Schwartz 1t is believed from
the article reprinted below that his
idea was to obtain information re-
gardng the tonnage available and the
character Of the ore not with the
view of shipping it to Joplin, but
rather having in mind the establish
ment of his new oxide process here
if the conditions seemed to warrant
it. At any rate his process seems to
be a success and his company APP

backing As the policy of the COM
pany is to establish local plants. it is
