KANSAS CITT, Mo Jan l.-The great cold wave, borne from the north west on tha wings of a seventy-mile wind, stretched Itsulf all over the south west today and dipped . Its southern fringe Into tha Gulf of Mexico. Tem perature ranged from ti degrees below xero at Omaha, Nat., to W degrees above at Corpus Chrlstl, Tex. Yesterday Cor- Jpus Chrlstl was basking In sunshine with the mercury at 72 degrees. Gal veston, Tex., had a drop of 8 over night. With diminishing winds, tha worst of the storm has psssed, according to the local bureau. This morning there were no strong winds and the observer saw a slowly ascending temperature. Suffering and property loss contributing to tha cold wave, was accentuated by the comparatively mild weather up to this time. Stockmen and fruit growers particularly expressed fear for large losses, the former because many cattle had not been removed from pasture When snow and sleet, driven by an ley wind, began falling on the ranges, and the latter because fruit trees had begun developing unusually large and tender buds, under the warm winter sun. Kansas lsst night reported tha coldest point in the southwest, Iodge City ther mometers registering 14 degrees below xero. Many other places suffered temperatures of sero to 30 below.

Fitzgerald and Other Old Omaha Friends. TELLS MANY YARNS OF BIO WAR Carrying in his vest pocket a little steel shrapnel ball as big as the end of a man's finger, the same having been dug from his thigh, Captain P. L. Pratt, a surgeon in the Allied armies, now on sick leave, is stop ping at the Fontenelle hotel and vis iting with J. E. Fitzgerald of the Woodmen of the World, and other friends in Omaha. Captain Pratt has seen seven months of service as a surgeon and has at times been desperately close to where the scrap' iron files. He was a( quarter of a mile from the battle front at Neuve Chapelle when the stray she'l burnt and the shrap nel struck him. Tho impact of a big piece of the shell broke bis right thigh, and one of the 300 steel bhlls the shell contained penetrated tha leg. Prealeta Three More tears. Captain Pratt predicts that the war will last some three years more. He speaks of the war in a calm, dignified way, with little or no prejudice, appar ently, and views the whole drama merely from the standpoint of a sur geon mnchlne the captain gives in the story of the retreat of the French before the big battle of the Marne, as It was told to him by French soldiers. The French were retreating at the rate of thirty to thirty-five miles a day, and In order to do this were throwing away thrlr heavy baggage, dispensing with some of the artillery, and in some cases even throwing away their guns. Behind them came the Germans, keeping up with the race, carrying all their equip ment, wheeling the big guns, laying tele phone and telegraph wires, and even putting down torn-up railroads. "The French even admit now," said the captain, "that the Germans could have gone on Into Paris If they had wanted to, but they did not think It a good strategic move. They were afraid of getting too far from their base, with a possibility of being cut off." V Lobeck Suggests Sullivan for Judge (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINCITON, jan. 13.

The mother told Secre tary Doane she did not know where her husband had one. A small oil stove had been used by this family for heating and cooking purposes. Mrs. Doane lost no time sending a stove, coal and food to this cheerless home. "We are not drawing the lines quite as strict during this extreme weather. If we find a family with out coal or food we do the best we can to alleviate their condition," stated Mrs. Doane.
