Critical Days Ahead.
Heretofore, the fighting has been
more or less in the belt formed by the
line established by the Versailles con-

was the extension of their front be-

that brought about the clash with the

Ex-EAlSER'S SON / SUICIDE
Youngest Scion of Former German
Ruler Kills Himself At His Resi-
dence Near Potsdam.

BeTlin.-Prince Joachim, ex-Kaiser
WflhemFs youngest son, committed
suicide by shooting the other night at
his residence at Leignitz- He died
later in a hospital at Potsdsm- The
authorities have endeavored to hush
up the tragedy.
Details were successfully held from
the public for many hours, but it
finally became known that he died
several hours after he had fired the
shot, in the arms of his personal
physician.
To all inQuirers, even those con-
nected either by royal ties Of blood or
by friendship to the former reigning
family of Germany, those who were
present at the time denied the truth,
declaring that the prince had met with
a motor car accident.
There is no doubt, however, that
Joachim's wound was self-inflicted.
His life of twenty-nine years has been
full of misfortune Family troubles
which did not eliminate with the
flight of his father 10 Holland, but
pursued him ever since. are believed
to have unsettled his mind.
Recently his wife, Princess Marie
Augustine of Anhalt, whom he mar
ried March IL. 1916, left him, and a
divorce suit was instituted Their
married life was far from happy.
His latest publicity was gained over
his suit against a publisher, who had
printed q volume entitled. The Mar
ried Life of Prince Joachim" which
was replete with the scandal of the
court and the sensational incidents
attributed to the young princes life
The arguments made in this case
aroused no particular public interest,
but the judge sitting insthe suit. had
set a time for trial in the near future.
II is believed that his wife's de-
sertion led to his possible mental
breakdown and was, at any Eate, re-
sponsible for his suicide.
The prince was the only member Of
the royal family to get near enough
to battle to suffer a wound While
visiting the western front he received
e slight wound in the thigh, and
thereafter he limped to q slight de
gree. For this he was decorated
with the iron cross if the first class.
The prince resembled the kafser's
eldest son in appearance, but was
better looking. During the war he
gained some Ill repute by dashing
through the country in a motor car
burning up tires" while there was a
crying need for rubber in that coun-
try.

RAISE RAILROAD
PAY Il PER CENT
Award of the National Board
Makes a Total Increase of
5000, 600, 900.
TO GET BACK PAY FROM MAY /
Sixty Per Cent of Advance Demanded
by Men Was Granted-Union
Leaders Confer.

Chicago.-Six hundred million dol
lars was added to the pay envelopes
of the nations million railroad
down by the new United States rail
way labor board.
Rejecting the demands of the or
ganized rail unions for increases total
ing approximately 1 billion dollars.
the board decided approximately sc
per cent of that sum would be a just
increase to meet present living condi-
tons
Members OF recently formed out
law unions do not share in the award.
Is An Increase of Fl Per Cent.
The award adds approximately q
per cent to the present pay schedules.
Railroad officials have declared that
any pay increase awarded the men
must be followed by a corresponding
increase in rates, and they plan, it is
said, to file new tariffs with the in
terstate commerce commission as
soon as they can be prepared.
Whether the award as given will
stave off the threat of general
railroad strike remains to be seen.
The award is not binding on either
side
The leaders of practically every one
of the sixteen big railroad unions was
present when Judge r. NJ. Barton,
chairman of the board, handed down
the decision. They left Immediately
to present the award to one thousand
general chairmen, who had gathered
here to pass on its acceptability.
W. G. Lee, Cleveland. president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
said all the eighteen organizations
separate sessions this afternoon, fol
lowed by general conference.
The union men as a whole do not
seem satisfied with the increase au-
thorized, but there was no talk prior
to the executive session CT a general
strike. The belief grew that the lead
ers would submit the question to a
referendum vote of their men.
The boards decision is retroactive
to May 1. AS the maximum increase
granted any class was Is cents an
hour, or S36.72 per month, the biggest
back pay check due when the settle
ment is made August 1 will be $110.16
Engineers, firemen and helpers in the
yard service will receive this amount.
The board provides that the back pay
checks shall be made out separately
so that each man will know the
amount he receives from that source.

4 SHIFT IN KANSAS paSOHs
State Authorities Plan to Keep the
"sheep" and the Goats" More
Widely Separated in Future.

The man or woman who gets into
the Kansas penitentiary or the indus
trial reformatory is going TO have
more trouble getting out than has
been the case heretofore. Governor
Allen held a conference recently with
the members of the board of admins
tration, the warden Of the peniten-
tiary and the superintendent Of the
reformatoFy. Plans were worked out
for taking the hardened criminals out
of the reformatory and sending them
to the prison, and removing the men
who may be reformed from the prison,
to the reformatory.
1t was also decided that in applica-
lions for executive clemency there
must be a publication of notice in
the local papers, the recommendation
of the county attorney, trial judge and
often the prosecuting witness, and
also Recommendation from the war
den or superintendent and the parole
board before the governor will act
upon the application.
1t was also decided that an old law
requiring trial judges to make a re-
port on the history of the criminal
and the case when a man is ordered
sent to either institution is to be en-
forced
The conference also aagreed to ask
the next legislature to extend the in
determinate sentence law so that hab-
itual criminals might be kept at the
institutions as protection to society.
There are men whose terms expire
who are menace to society, but the
prison authorities have to release
them. The proposed law would per
nit this class of criminals to be kept
in the prison or reformatory.

NEWS ITEMS FROM
ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings Of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
FARMS WILL COST MORE NOW
Huge Wheat Crop Has Increased
Land Values, Especially in the
Western Part of State.

Just what the present enormous
wheat crop in Western Kansas is go
ing to do with the price of the land
in that part of the state IS worrying
th% real estate men to a certain ex-
tent just now. A few words with
some of the farmers in western coun-
ties will answer the question. Prices
are going up.
The farmers who have been in
Western Kansas for some years and
boosted for the country have been
more or less embarrassed by adver-
tisements in eastern papers and farm
papers heralding cheap Western
Kansas lands" and they say this will
now end. Farms have been selling
in the western counties for prices
ranging from $50 to $50 an acre,
while a well improved farm would
bring $40 to $50.
J. E. Anterior, a farmer near Zurich,
Rocks county, who owns fifteen hun
dred acres, last fall sowed eleven
hundred acres of wheat. In the
spring he decided to sell and offered
the entire ranch at $40 an acre;
throwing in the wheat crop. If he
had sold he would have received
$105,0O but there were no takers.
The wheat crop matured and Mr.. Ath-
erton is getting an average of twenty
five bushels an acre from his eleven
hundred acres, which will give him
27,500 bushels of wheat. At the pres
ent price of the grain, $40, the elev-
en- hundred acres will bring him $685.
900. At the price he offered his farm
last spring the wheat land would have
brought $4,000, only $11, ZOO more
than the products of the land will
bring, and he still has the land left.
And this is said to be an example
of hundreds of Western Kansas farm
ers. They last spring offered their
farms at the prevailing prices, but
since the wheat crop turned out SO
well, and other crops promise equally
as well. the prices have been raised
from IS to $50 per cent, and in some
instances even more. Cheap lands are
a thing of the past in Western Kan
eas, the farmers say.
