ANGLO ALLIANCE

BERLIN, Nov. 3.-Pan-German ele-
ments are agitating for an economic
alliance with England as the only way
in which Germany can regain her pre-
war commercial prestige. The radical
wing of the conservatives believe the
European. situation has made such
a union ut only practicable but prob
able, and are urging that ancient hates
be forgotten and an understanding
reached between the two nations. Eng
land and not America, is considered
the chief factor with which Germany
must reckon innternational and Eu-
ropean commerce.
Writers in the newspapers discuss
at length the problem Of allaying what
they say is an unabating anti-German
feeling among the English.
The Kreuz- Zeitung, the old organ
of the monarchists, say in an editorial:
IF we have in mind any foreign alli-
ance only England can be considered" ."

the earnest opposition of many Of
my comrades when I suggest any alli-

everything to- destroy US. In spite Of

pathies. That is the first lesson that
the honest German should learn from
his English cousin. We should pos

On the fifth ballot yesterday afternoon
Dean Frank Rosebrook Millspaugh of
Grace Cathedral, Topeka, was elected the
choice of the clergy and of the laity OF
the Episcopal church for bishop of the
Kansas diocese.
S. J. Reader who lives north of Topeka
on Soldier creek, was in the Battle of the
Blue aud took great interest In its history
and memory afterward. few years ago
he visited the battlefield and taking few
sketches painted a very creditable picture
of the battle III a rough way. 1t shows
most prominently the battery with the
twenty -four pound brass howitzer In the
lane beside the Moockbe barn. The two
most prominent figures in the piece are
G. G.. Gage who was No. 2 and Daniel
Handley who was No. 1. Handley was
killed, and when he was. picked up
day or two later b. his friends. it was
necessary to wrench the rammer from his
hands. In the picture Colonel Veale is
prominent at tt, right with a white feather
in his hat, and the figure of General Shell
by's nephew who mistook Col. Veale for
Col. Gordon, and delivered an order to
him from Shelby, thus giving the Kansans
clew to the situation, is beside him:
The order was Hold your position at all
hazards. Reinforcements will soon be
here" Veale knew then that the fight was
lost.

ALLEN VICTORY

leader heatedly turned on the critics
and declared, "All right, I'll answer if

ing that child could ask more. ques-

Again Governor Allen pressed for an
answer.
Gompers had decided by that time
that the questions weren't fair. that
they were catch questions putting him

called.
Disappointed in Gompcrs.
The fact that Gompers didn't answer
hurt his cause. not only in the eyes of
Allen supporters who took the labor
leaders evasion as a sign of defeat,
but by Gompers's followers who were
disappointed at the failure of their
leader 10 llOOr the hdnSd0.
Governor Allen. working under a
strain in the warm air that made him
draw out his handkerchief frequently
to wipe his forehead, was the picture
of AMIGA bility. He smiled whether the
audience booted or cheered. He in
sistently called on Gompers to answer
the questions. but Gompers lodged and
the debate ended.
Gompers had apparently met a
stone wall. He could not proceed be-
yond his thesis that the right of labor
to strike was unassailable. He would
not discuss the public's rights. He
delighted in referring to the Kansas
legislature as Hell bent for the en-
slavement of the workingman" and TO
the industrial court law as "un-Ameri-
can" and '.autocratic."

His black tie grew awry. His long
white fringe of hair on the back of his
head bobbed frantically.
Governor Allen struck at the hearts
of his hearers. He expressed himself
