-A remarkably outspoken article in the organ of the German Socialist party, the Vorwaerts, caused the suspension of the paper Friday. The article contains the boldest plea tor peace ever permitted to be printed in Germany sine the war. It calls upon the German government to state definitely the object of the war, saying: "We are told it is the others who must beg for peace, for we are victorious; but unfortunately the others do not feel vanquished. No result is possible this way. The war goes on unendingly because both parties are anxious not to tell or even utter demands, as they are afraid lest open- Cereal Sorgums Not Recognized As Staples in Value Equals Corn.

NEW GRAIN By the Associated Press. Topeka, Kansas, Nov. 10-One of the big needs of the Southwest is a broad and dependable market for grain sorghums, at prices consistently on a par with their feeding equivalent in corn, according to a statement issued today by J. C. Mohler, secretary of the Kansas board of agriculture.

The statement pointed out that comparatively few people outside the grain-sorghum country have any idea of the real worth, especially in the economical making of meat, of these crops. "These crops have attained such importance they are entitled to rate in the markets of the world along with corn, oats and other grains serv ing similar the state said. secure such organization the pub lic must be educated to show the value and the profitable use of these grains. "When the world once understands that kafir, for example, which is the chief grain sorghum of Kansas, is of practically equal value to corn in the ration for maintenance and fattening of live stock, a very largely increased demand will ensue. It has been conclusively demonstrated by feeding trials extending over a period of years at the state's experiment stations and amply verified in thousands of feed-lots by the operations of practical stockmen, that the grain sorghums are close competitors of corn in the economical making of TAXES NOW DUE!

meat. Steers fattened on a ration that contained no other grain than kafir have repeatedly topped the markets at the great stock exchange at Kansas City, winning laurels over cornfed animals. "Suggestive of the rapidly growing population of the grain sorghums in the Southwest is the record of Kansas in kafir: Only 184,000 acres were grown in 1895 and nearly one million dollars to it in 1914. In the first five-year period of the past twenty years the value of kafir in Kansas was twenty million dollars; in the last five-year period, it amounted to seventy million dollars. "Add to their proved feeding value their ability to yield on soils and in climates and seasons not favorable for corn, and you have the reasons for the rise in esteem of the grain sorghums.

They are not only adapted to the drier sections but are making a place for themselves in portions of the corn-belt. With dependable markets, production of the grain sorghums is bound to increase far beyond what would be possible otherwise, and those seeking feeding stuffs will have another first class comod-15 ity available in compounding exonomical and efficient rations. "There are unlimited opportunities for stimulating this line of trade expansion at home and abroad. To succeed in fulfilling them, would afford a new incentive for growing more of the grain-sorghums through out a vast region splendidly adapted to their production: it would bring increased areas under cultivation, develop and upbuild the agriculture of the plains country and add immeasurably to its wealth, population and prosperity."

By the Associated Press. Washington, Nov. -The American steamer Zealandia was forcibly searched by a party from a British cruiser last week while in Port Progreso, Mexico, the American consul reports. The cruiser was lying outside presumably waiting to sieze the ship. This is regarded as a violation of Mexican neutrality as well as over-stepping rights regarding an.

American vessel in a neutral port. The Zealandia mysteriously left Pensacola the night of October 7, clearing for Tampico, carying visions and manned principally by a crew of Germans. British agents discovered she had a large quantity of rosin for which there was ostensible use in Mexico. Forcible search constitutes one of the most serious issues to arise between United States and England. SHORT LOCAL STORIES.

Has A Bellairs who lives six miles southeast of Cherryvale, came into The Republican office this morning and raised a kick on Cherryvale market conditions which it might be well for the Cherryvale commercial club to investigate along with its trade extension campaign. Mr. Bellairs brought in two hogs this morning, weighing between 250 and 300 pounds, and could not sell them. The objections given by those to whom he tried to sell them were that they were too heavy.

The lack of a market for hogs in Cherryvale seems to be a slat off our fence and should be rectified at once. By calling up Mound Valley Mr. Bellairs found that' he could get six cents a pound for his hogs, by hauljing them to that town, though he says it looks like robbery for a man to be charged 20 cents a pound for meat and then be forced to sell hogs so cheap. He didn't lay the blame for low markets on Cherryvale of course but said the packers had forced down the price until a man could not get pay for high, fed to hogs, much pense and trouble He wanted to buy said he was going plies in the town hogs. priced corn he had less the other exof raising them.

Coffeyville Sun: Beginning yesterday, Wallace Ogden became dispatcher of the interurban lines of the Union Traction company and the Kansas-Oklahoma Traction company with office in the ticket office here. Mr.

Ogden has a set of phones for use in dispatching and keeps tab on all cars and freight trains on the 76 miles of interurban from Nowata to Parsons, between 9 o'clock in the forenoon and 9 o'clock at night, when the traffic is the heaviest. A system of dispatching on a smaller scale has been in vogue for several weeks with Chas. Wright, the agent and superintendent at Independence, as dispatcher. With the apopintment of Mr. Ogden as dispatcher and the establishment of the dispatcher's office here, Mr.

Wright is relieved of that duty and devotes all the time to his work as superintendent and agent. The several passenger, baggage, freight and oil tank cars usthe lines made it imperative to employ a dispatcher or put in a block system, as a matter of safety, and the companies decided upon the former method. Mr. Ogden, whi is a former superintendent of the Union Traction company and an old employe of the company, is well equipped with the knowledge of the business to make a good dispatcher. The naming of a dispatcher for the whole system takes much of the responsibility off Superintendent Yates, who now can devote all his time to supervision of the system.
