MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

Reports today indicate that 1t will
be two years before West Eighth will
become q boulevard.
This means that Topekans will con-
tinue to be without/a west thorofare
that is passable for anything except
trucks and wagons.
West Third is a series of bumps
and turns. West Sixth is rough. West
Eighth is strip paved but is the favor
ite resort for teansters. Huntoon is a
mess. West Seventeenth is too far
away fop general west side travel.
The city should take some measur IS
to provide a west side artery that will
accommodate passenger motor cars.
West Eighth is the best bet. 1t is
rot cluttered with street cars and it is
a straight drive to all streets west
Owners of motor cars in Topeka
pay enough taxes to demand an i'm
mediate improvement of West Eighth
avenue. The old street car tracks
should be removed-and removed at
once. Then the entire street should
be surfaced.
When this is done the city should
on the street.
With the new asphalt plant and
machinery it should not take long to
make this improvement.
There should be some way. to drive
west from Kansas avenue without rip
ping tires. breaking springs, bouncing
passengers and running dispositions.
The motor car and the motor own r
have become a factor in civic If hat
cannot be overlooked. Motor car
owners should have their way in con-
nection with the improvements of
streets and highways. They are pay
ing the bills.

Kansas Officials Hold Secret
Session in Topeka Today.
Work Out Program for Next
Session of Legislature.

Members of the Kansas League of
Municipalities are in session in the
state house today for a whisper con-
ference. Following today's session
the league will announce a program
which the next legislature may adopt.
1t is the biennial session of the league
to provide work for the law makers.
Nearly fifty Kansas municipal Of
ficers are attending the meeting. Such
questions as municipal home rule,
public ice plants, municipal markets,
planning boards, restricted town dis
tricts, fuel yards and other problems
are being discussed. Officers of the
league announced that when the
meetings adjourn a careful survey VIII
be made and the public will be ad-
vised as to such matters as it should
know at this time.
Meet Behind Closed Doors.
In order to safeguard against pub
lie information regarding division
over legislative questions the league
members decided to transact their
business behind closed doors. The
doors were not actually closed, but
against possible entrance of news
paper reporters. Press representa-
lives were told that they should wait
until after the meetings when they
will be provided with a set or the
resolutions and a copy of the minutes.
The program which is being worked
out will be offered to the. legislature
for adoption when sessions begin IN
Topeka next January. In former years
the league has not come thru legisia-
tive sessions with a high batting aver
age. There has been a rather cruel
and discourteous consid deration OF the
legislative program which the town
mayors managers and commissioners
prepared in their conferences
Plan Propaganda Campaigns.
Plans are being considered at to-
days meeting for the use of extensive
propaganda campaigns GOV n e

tive candidates for the league pro-
gram in advance of the election. A

sent to Topeka TO lobby ror the var1-
Gus bills next winter.

leaders will seek to secure endorse

the hands of the dominant political
parties Several of the measures to
be endorsed may be presented 10 the

ellis late this month in an effort to

miserable caricature Of the port of a
week ago. doggedly goes about the
first CHASTITY task that falls to the
survivors of the storm-buriaI of the
dead.
TWenty-Eight Thousand.
Bodies of twenty-eight thousand
have been recovered, a death toll that
triples former estimates and cuts in
half the former population of the
native city. These figures were given
in a circular issued by the Swatow
Chambr of Commerce from it's branch
in Hong Kong.
Rude coffins have been hammered
together with lumber salvaged from
the wreck of the city. But these
enough to dispose of bodies which are
a sanitary menace to the health of
the living. Gunny sacks and mattress
bags have been made into crude
shrouds. Graves are hurriedly dug
that bodies may be inferred as they
are recovered.
Shortage of Food, Too.
Shortage of food may prove an
other menace. British in Hong Kong
already have sent $4,000 for relief.
Rice is being shipped from the British
cOnoly. The Swatow Municipality
Charitable association has organized
relief fund. Benevolent societies in
Hong Kong are uniting in relief meas
ures for the sufferers. Other cities
in China are expected to heed the
plea of stricken Swatow.
Bandits making grim capital of the
city's disaster, are reported to have
raided homes and robbed pedestrians
in the native section Gheuls sought
to loot the dead but were. promptly
stopped by native police.
Many Bodies at Sea.
SwatoW is a heap of ruins.
The tidal wave which swept the
road along the harbor while the storm
was at its height completed the devas-
tation which the storm started.
Water front buildings crumpled be-
fore the assault of the water, lie in
tangled nondescrfpt piles. Three
steamers caught in the storm were
piled on the beach. Smaller craft de-
molished when they sought shelter in
Swatow harbor, add to the tangle on
the water front.
Bodies of many victims have drifted
out to sea. they have been sighted by
steamers as far as fifteen miles from
the devastated port. Many will never
be recovered.

Horses and Cattle Scarce in Germany
Since Preparations Began.

Berlin. Aug s.-Gold payments are
not Germany's only worries in meeting
the demands of the entente. Official
reports indicate that she has had to
disgorge literally from her livestock
assets. These deliveries are in COM
pensation for acquisitions made by the
Germans during the war
More than a half million head of
livestock, besides poultry numbering
nearly a quarter million, were deliv-
cred to the entente by Germany up to
July of this year, the government
announced in reply to an interpella-
tion by the Bavarian peoples party.
There then remained 251,212 head of
livestock still to be handed over.
The deliveries thus far made in
cluded 143.525 horses. 1856 cattle.
2O9.231 sheep, 21.441 goats, and 246,-
700 head of poultry. Those yet to be
made comprise SLIP horses, 92.1Oe

Deliveries of livestock to Italy from
South Germany are expected to be
made early in September, while ship
