Too great expectations were raised by preliminary operations of the allied fleet in Dardanelles, according to a representative of British newspapers who is connected with the expedition.

The British navy is convinced the correspondent says, "that the Narrows could be forced if occasion justified the loss of ships that -would result, but unless there was a powerful army ready to occupy Gal-lipoli peninsula the moment the fleet passed into the Sea of Marmora, Turks and Germans immediately would close the Straits behind it so warships would find it difficult to light its way out again."

Y. P. U. last evening at. the Baptist church a new plan of work for the coming summer was discussed.

The society decided to adopt the Group system for their workj which is being taken up by a number of societies and the new method will be given a trial at next Sunday's Today in Caney. Cherryvale sent a large delegation of Odd Fellows arid Rebekahs to Caney this morning to their annual celebration. The degree team of the local Rebekah lodge will put on the work tonight. Sever- al members of the Cantons in uni form were among the number. About seventy-five members of the two lodges went down this morning.

Fish Are Escaping. The numerous rains of the past few days has raised the water in the city lake until the fish are taking chances on a trip through the spillway. Tom Adams, tenant on the city farm and lo- below the dam were full of crappie and sunfish yesterday. He gathered up about a half bushel of the smaller fry and put them back in the lake. Movie Men Met.

S. A. Davidson ar.d son, Frank, attended a meeting Local Streams Could X'ot Stand Added Moisture Last Xight and Have Slopped Over Rivers High. At 3:15 this afternoon the Verdigris rner had reached the thirty foot stage at the Independence city pumping station and had risen four feet since morning. Early today the rise was at the rate of one foot an hour but this afternoon the river was advancing five inches per hour and it was hoped that a flood would be averted, though al! depended on the amount of rainfall above.

Elk river, Fall river and small tributaries are reported to be nearly bank full. This afternoon Big Hill and Dram creek were both falling rapidly. Two inches of rain, that fell between Saturday night and Monday morning, most of it Sunday night raised the already flushed creeks and! branches in the vicinity of Cherryvale to the stage that in many places it was impossible to cross them this-morning even on bridges. Drum. Creek aid Big Hill were both out of their banks though it was reported by o'clock this morning that Drum creek had started to fall slowly.

The bottoms were over flowed in many but except in places where there was a strong current the damage will be slight. The in terurban service was not seriously hampered, though the cars were running slaw this morning, due to weak power and the soft condition of the roadbed. The Montgomery County bank's rain guage showed over two inches of rain this morning, which makes a total of 17 inches for the year, nearly three times as much as fell last spring during the same period. The first four months of the season of 1915 will long be remembered as one of the wettest periods in the weather history of this part of the state. Small streams were higher this, morning than for several years, and reports reached Cherryvale this morning that rivers are but in places.

Fall river and Verdigris," which meet just below Neodesha are on a combined tear, and it is said that the Verdigris, just below the junction is corning out over the low bottoms. The ground is full of wat er and basements and cellars in the-city are all the way from a few inches to several feet in water. Drum, creek was backed up to the outlet of the city disposal plant this morning and was retarding the flow of the sewers, and under several of the business and public buildings the water had backed in from the the pipes being unable to discharge the water fast enough. Even if no more rain falls for several days and the weather indications hardly warrant such, hopes- it will be impossible for farmers-to get into their fields short of a week or ten days, which will, throw them very late getting in their crops. COMMERCE CONGRESS Delegates from Southern States- M'-t at Mukogve Today Senator Addressed Meeting.

I5y the Associated Press. Muskogee, April 26. The Southern Commercial Congress began iu five days session here today. In thej opening Senator Fletcher, of Florida, president of the Congress declared the convention marks the esteem which "older states of the Southland hold for their younger sis. ter, Oklahoma." Senator Fletcher called atention to the fact that this was the first meeting of the Congress "across the Mississippi," the previous conventions having been at Washington twice) Atianta, Nashville, and Mobile.

"In these days of rapidly moving events, quick changing circumstances when new conditions are arising, big things are happening," said the Senator, "it is well to get in thi3 new state to consider new questions, discuss with the people new problems, which must be solved. "We must take our eyes off the past and turn them to the future. While we are the heirs of the age which have gone, while the experience, the wisdom, the sacrifices, the toil, the courage and enterprise of the' past have brought to the u. t. DICI SUGGESTS GETTIXG BUSY BIGHT XOW.

Unless Cherryvale Recognizes the Xe tessity of Immediate Action Conditions Here Will Soon Be as I lad as at Parsons. W. C. IMcus who is always on the lookout for something that will benefit Cherryvale, does not make tho mistake common to many self styled "boosters." by having his back sights raised too high. The trouble with so many people who go out to do something for their twn is that thej want to puli off a big stunt, get a million dollar cheese factory or set in motion some kind of great civic, moral, or educational reform.

Of course such things are commendable but it takes a whole lot to hypothecate them and they rarely get beyond the newspaper stage. It's all right to hitch your wagon to a star, provided you've got a rope long e-nough, but if not Mr. Dicus suggests attaching it to something nearer home a dandelion root for instance. Mr. Dicus sprang his idea on Leo Veeder last night while the two were just ruminating over the local situation.

There wasn't anything else that they could discover that could be designated as. "acute' or that could be considered as approaching a "crisis." But there are the dandelions. Mr. Dicus says they are on the increase and that ere long they will be as thick as they are in Parsons. Somehow when people in Cher ryvalc mention dandelions tbey connect the name of Parson with them.

The town over at the eastern terminus of Mr. Siggins' no-pullee wagon track beems to be the horrible example, the the synonym for dandelion ridden towns. And to say that Cherryvale is fast becoming as bad as Parsons should be an occasion for viewing with a-larni, Furthei says Mr. Dicus with Leo concurring this is the' psychological roment. The pests have not yet gone to seed, and should be yanked out right away.

Otherwise they will grow and multiply and replenish the lawns and crowd out blue grass. Quick action will save tho day but the work must be commenced at once. The ground is soft now and with an ordinary dandelion shooter the industrious man or woman or child can lift them out of the soil as easily as a dentist can vank an aching tooth. Mr. Dicus suggests a dandelion day, backed by a proclamation from the mayor if necessary, at any rate a concerted, pull together movement.

Tell tho Kids about it, let it be taken up by the teachers at school, by the women at their club meetings, by tha preachers in their Sunday sermons. Then let there be team work when it conies to the actual crusade. Let evry citizen resolve to make himself a committee of one to swat tha "yellow peril." Let the city employes be instructed to clean them off all public places and out of way corners and then will the ochre hu-ed patches once more turn to emerald and the front yard come back unto ite own.

CORN' 73 to 77 of Cattle Has Increased Despite the War, Since the Slaughter of Calves Stopped. (Correspondence Associated Press) Berlin, April 27. The German Government found time, notwithstanding the war, to take the usual census of live-stock about the beginning of last December. The most striking feature of the census figures, which have just been published, is a gain of 823,000 in the number of cattle over the census of Decem ber, 1913. By far the larger partj of this gain namely, 655,000 head was made in young animals between three months and two years old.

This was due undoubtedly to the prohibition at the outbreak of the war of the slaughter of calves, in order better to conserve the meat suply. In calves less than three months old the gain was 163,000 head. The net results of the census of cattle was that the aggregate in creased from 30,994,344 to head. There was a small decrease in the number of hogs, the total falling by 319,500 to head. The decrease was wholly in pigs less than six months old, the number of which was reduced by 611 000 head during the year.

Even sheep showed a smaller reduction than usual. Last December there were 5.448.500 head, which compared with 5,520,800 at the end 'of 1913, and 5,803,400 at the end of 1912. From these statistics it is evident that the war had made no impression upon Germany's meat supply up to the first week in December. RUINED HIS CREDIT Plaintiff In District Court Says Hii Landlord Queered Him With. a.

C'otteyville Bank, A damage case out of the ordinary has been filed in the district court in which B. W. Moody is plaintiff and S. M. Porter is defendenL Ex-County Attorney Charlton, of Bart-lesville, is attorney for the plaintiff.

The plaintiff in his petition says he resided on the farm of the defendant, three miles southeast of Caney, in the year 1914 and farmed the same under an oral contract. Prior to December 1, 1914, he was ia debt to the defendant in the sum ot $70.20, consisting of a promissory note for $50 and $2.0.2.0 on account, all of which was not secured. At the same time he was indebted to the First National bank of Coffeyville in the sum of $792.90, secured by a mortgage on his personal property. The plaintiff says the bank was satisfied with the loan and security until November 1, 1914, when the defendant represented to the bank officials that the plaintiff was in debt to him in the sum of $104.50, and that the debt was a first lien oi the plaintiff's property. The plaintiff asserts this caused the bank to feel uneasy and the official foreclosed the chattel mortgage on his personal property and sold the same Dec.

1, 1914, at public auction. The property consisted of six mules aad liorscs, eleven head of cattle, fourteen head of hogs, farm implemento and other property, which the p-lain-tiff sajs were reasonably worth It brought only $1,090 at auction. The plaintiff says the defendant in dueed the bank officials to turn over to him $70.20 out of the proceeds of the sale and hold back the further sum of $34.50. The plaintiff claims he was wrongfully deprived of this money, and being the head of a family he was deprived of his occupation a3 a farmer. He asks for a judgment for the sum of also for $410, the loss on the property sold by forced sale, and $2,000 damages for injuries to reputation and in being deprived of the means of making a living.

Randall Joe Zoletzi G. S. HOSS, Jr. Postpwwter. Xaval Expert Asks Why Details Concerning Escape of Goeben and Breslau Are Xot Made Public.

(Correspondence Associated Press) London, April 2. Whether the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau escaped from Messina last fall by runing a gauntlet of thirteen British and French warships and ten torpedo boats, as asserted by a petty officer of the Goeben in the Vienna Arbe-iterzeitung, is a question that A. H. Pollen, the Naval expert, asks of the British Admiralty in the columns of the Westminister Gazette. The Admiralty has never made public any naval action beyond the engagement previously of the two German ships with the Gloucester, which causes Mr.

Pollen, to remark: "The circumstances attending the escape of these two ships have been studiously kept from the British pub lie up to now. We know that the Commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean was called upon by the Admiralty to give an account of his dispositions and that his account was considered satisfactory. We also know that the Admiral in command of a very powerful cruiser squadron in the Mediterranean was recalled to England, subjected to a court of enquiry and subsequently courtmar-tialed and acquitted. But we do not know anything of the events which led up to these drastic steps, we do not wnow on what charge the Admiralty was brought into court, we know nothing of the character of his defense, nor the grounds on which he was acquitted. In theory a court-martial is an open court; in practice it can be made a star chamber affair by the exclusion of the public when any evidence is being heard the publication of which can be called detrimental to public interest.

"As a simple mater of fact," Pollen continues, "not one word of Admiral Tronbridge's trial was reported, and, when questioned oh the subject, the First Lord of the Admiralty has steadily declined to reopen this or any other controversial incident." Pollen declares that nothing is to be gained by keeping back information eight months old, since it can not be of any value to an enemy and only betrays a lack of trust in the British public. If such an action took place, he says, there roust have been casualties, and no casualty list has been published.

('. Company. The. properties of the United Kansas. Portland Cement Company, compromising the big plants at LeHunt, Neodesha and Iola, were sold at auction in Iola Saturday by Receiver Charles F.

Scott by direction of Judge Cory of the Federal court at Fort Scott, to the Kansas City Cement Material Company of Kansas City, for $199, 50U. It required just one hour and a half to make the sale. Bids start by Northrup interests at $130,000. Raises of $10,000 followed until $130,000 was offered, then simmering to $5,000, $1,000 and finally $500,. when the properties went under the hammer at the price It ia believed in cement circles that Mr.

Nicholson, original promoter of the enterprises, is identified with, the purchasers. The sale is believed to presage early activities at the Le Hunt plant adjoining Independence, as the statement was made by an official in authority immediately following the sale that this plant would be the first to, resume and that little time would be lost in getting it under way. Funeral Mrs. Freeman. The body of Mrs.

Katie Freeman, who died Wednesday in Coffeyville, was brought-to Cherryvale yesterday and taken to the Logan Undertaking Parlors. Funeral services were held this afternoon from the Logan Chapel conducted by Rev. R. W. Shaw, of the Baptist church.

Syracuse, April Letters, written by Roosevelt to Barnes and other Republican leaders, read at today's session of the libel trial, showed that Roosevelt had opposed efforts of Barnes and others to prevent Governor Hughes being re-nominated. Roosevelt had vigorously advocated Hughes renomination in scores of letters introduced and read.

Rocseveltsaid his favoring Hughes was not due to any personal reasons but because he thought people wanted him. After introduction of letters between Roosevelt and Senator Piatt the Colonel admitted he consulted freely with. Piatt about the affairs at Albany, knowing he was "boss" of the Republican party in this state. One letter to Piatt read: "All right, I'll change the whole board of tax assessors."

Mrs. Barred from Third Term Probable Opponent for Mrs. I Washington, D. April 26. The extreme bitterness which characterized the campaign that resulted in the reelection of Mrs.

William Cum-; mine-; Storv as president general of i the Daughters of the American Rev- olution did not subside with the cc-jnting of the ballots and was much in evidence at the closing session of th3 congress today. The attitude of the factions to ward each other was demonstrated 1 whn Mrs. Guernsey and Mrs. Story, the latter presiding, engaged in a tilt of words over a con'iict of auth ority between the historian general snrf the librarian general. It.

was nee-! for the parliamentarian to in- terveue and suggest that the subject under discussion was entirely out of order Mrs. Guernsev throughout sustain-' ed the reputation she had made as a clear and vigorous debater. The Daughters who yesterday started a movement for the re-election of Mrs. Storv ran asrainst an obstacle today in the shape cf a constitutional bar against a third term. As the congress ended its session it looked very much as if Mrs.

Guern sey and Mrs. Joseph E. Ransdell, the latter the wife of Senator Ransdell, would be the leading opposing candidates two years hence. THE WEATHER: Unsettled, but generally fair tonight and Tuesday. I i s'v announced was carried out.

The worms are rarelv found anvwhere else, but there is almost certain to be one un der a dandelion plant, especially if the plant is growing on the front lawn. Boys should be encouraged to seek for them in the places designated and if they are not successful, en- courage them by telling them to dig deeper.
