Invaders Have Begun Throw ing Up Defensive Works. Brussels, Aug. 10. The Belgian general staff today says the situation In regard to the Germans has modi fied but little since Saturday. The German forces are said to be going backwards before the advance of the French troops, a considerable effective force of which has got Into contact with the German advance guard. It Is reported that the entire territory to the south of the Meuse has been cleared of German soldiers. The French and Belgian armies will take the offensive simultaneously in conformity with a concerted plan of campaign. The emperor of Russia has tele graphed King Albert expressing sin cere admiration of the bravery of the Belgian army and the best wishes for Belgium in its contest for independ ence. After the German troops had reached Warsage, in the province of Liege, according to people who saw their arrival, they assembled all the inhabitants and chose fourteen from among them.

DIG TlfjERTAKEfJ Kron Prim Wilhelm Captured by British Cruiser Essex. She Is Being Taken to Bermuda as a Prize. New York, Aug. 10. From two sources today came a report to New York that the North German Lloyd liner Kron Prinz Wilhelm had been captured by the British cruiser Essex and taken to Bermuda as a prize. The liner Nar ragansett reported having heard a wire. less message to this effect, and the manager of the Royal Mall Steam I Packet, whose ships run to Bermuda, eaid he hud heard a similar report. Customs Inspector who boarded the British tank steamer Narragansett, in today from Rotterdam, were informed by a sailor of the Narragansett crew that the North German Lloyd liner Kron Prinz Wilhelm had been captured by the British cruiser Essex and that Bermuda. The sailor said a wireless message last Saturday from the Essex to the station in Bermuda, intercepted by the Narragansett, told of the cap ture. North German line officials doubted the story. No word, they said, had been received from the liner. The Kron Prinz Wilhelm sailed from New York last Tuesday, heavily laden with coal, ostensibly for Bremen. It was reported but not confirmed, that she intended to meet the German cruiser Dresden at sea and replenish her coal supply. The report was given some credence here in view of the announcement by the Canadian government, made at Ottawa, that the Essex had advised the Bermuda station that she was bringing In a prize. The name of the raptured vessel was not disclosed in the government's announcement. Since the beginning of the war the Eessex has been cruising be tween Bermuda and Halifax. She was at Halifax last Thursday as the con voy of the Mauretania. If the Nar ragansett's information be correct, the F.ssex must have run across the Kron Prinz Wilhelm between Thursday night and Saturday morning. The message which the Narrangansett is mid to have intercepted read as fol lows: "Bringing in Kron Prinz Wilhelm as a prize." Confirmation Hard to Get. The manager of the Royal Mail Steam Packet said he had every rea son to belieev the report was true. He would not say where he hard heard it. but it w-s believed that the British consul was his authority. Rigorous censorship is being enforced In Bermuda and no confirmation of the report could be obtained at Hamilton. A cryptic dispatch from the corre spondent of t" e Associated Press a Bermuda indicated he had some news which he would like to communicate, but could not on account of the censor ship. It was in reply to a message In forming him of the reported capture of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm by the Essex. The Kron Prinz Wilhelm was built In 1901 in Stettin, Germany. She is 663 feet long, of 66-foot beams, 21.300 tons displacement and 30,000 horse power. She has a speed of 23 knots, and at the time of her launching was one of the fastest and largest vessels afloat. She has accommodations for 1,715 passengers and a crew of 552.

Among those who entered were General Von Emich, commander of the tenth army corps, and his staff. At the citadel, which is the barracks, the governor and the burgomaster of Liege were informed that unless the town and forts surrendered the Ger mans would bombard the town and raze it completely. On orders from his gov ernment the governor then left the town. "On Friday night seventeen notables of Liege headed by the bishop, burgo master and sheriff with some deputies proceeded to the citadel and begged General Von Emich not to bombard the town.

After the destruction of this Zeppelin the Germans confined their aerial ac tivity to tho use of scouting aeroplanes, several of which were destroyed by shots from the forts. Attempts to reach the aeroplanes with shells wera often unsuccessful, however, owing to the in ability to shoot high enough.

IN A MYSTEOS SITUATION 7 y- Embargo on Grain Fails to Hold Down Price. Increased Cost of Living Result of War. Despite the fact that .he shipping situation brought about by the Eu ropean war !as caused a great quan tity of vheat to pile up. 'in embargo in MoKke the United States, the price of "flour advanced 20 cents a hundred pounds in Topeka and over the country this morning, and the price of wheat has advanced 15 cents a bushel in the last two weeks. It is thought by Topeka millers that the price of wheat will advance three cents more a bushel before tomorrow. Saturday a forty-eight pound sack of of flour could be bought for $1.20. To day It is selling for $1.30. According to local millers the cause of the Jump in the price of flour is un doubtedly the fact that the United States will be forced to feed Europe during the war. The Topeka millers assert also that the farmers are holding their wheat. Very little grain is being placed on the market owing to the shipping situ ation. They also say that there has been an exceptionally big sale of flour in the last two weeks. s Twice Present Price. Topeka mills are not quoting prices on wheat owing to the flurry in the market. Topeka mills are paying in the neighborhood of eighty cents a bushel and Kansas City mills about ninety. It is expected by Topeka millers that the prices on both wheat and flour will advance still higher. Should the Eu ropean conflict continue and the ship ping situation improve it is the expec tations of many millers that the price of flour will advance to twice its present price. Kffcct on Bakeries. According to local bakeries the Jump in the price of sugar and spices will cause the prices on pastries to advance within a short time. Owing to the fact that most of the bakers have a large quantity of flour on hand the Jump in the price of flour this morning will not affect the price of bread for two or three months at least.

For all Thy goodness which withheld not her por tion in the Joys of this earthly life and for Thy guiding hand along the way of her helpfulness, we give Thee thanks and praise. Especially we bless Thee for Thy grace that kindled In her heart the love of Thy dear name, that enabled her to fight the 1good fight, and to obtain the victory.

This move- TROOPS TO BATTLE" ment cann be called heavy. There has been no rush since the European war interfered with the export traffic. Most farmers prefer to hold all or part of their wheat for better prices, but a sufficient quantity goes upon the market to meet emergency needs. Canafla has begun to send its wheat to England and France, and the vol ume of traffic will increase as English and French warships are available for protection to the cargoes. The de mand from these warring countries soon will exhaust the Canadian sup ply, and then American wheat will be called for. This is the opinion of the grain men generally. By that time it is expected arrange ments will have been made for ship ping from American ports. If not, Kansas wheat v-ill go to Canada.

Winnipeg, Man THEY ra AUAY Solid Masses of Germans Hurled Against Belgian Forts Are Mowed Down by Machine Guns of Defenders. London, Aug. 10. Telegraphing from Brussels, the correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says regarding the fighting at Liege: "The Germans tried to overpower the forts by flinging immense bodies of men against them in mass formation. The last Prussian assault on Boncelles reminded one of the early days of Port Arthur. The infantry melted away be fore the machine guns of the defenders. "The morale of the Prussians was en tirely broken toward the end of the general attack. The casualties among the German officers were considerable. The attackers ran short of rifle ammu nition, wounded Germans declared they had had no food for two days." A despatch to the Chronicle from Brussels says Liege is invested and all communication cut off but the forts are Intact and can hold out for months. Brussels, he added, has been turned into a vast hospital; hotels, private houses and public buildings having been given over to the Red Cross. ine Dally Mau i eorresponaent says the city of Liege is to some extent In vested by Germans but that the forts are holding out and will not surrender as the garrisons will blow them up when resistance is no longer possible. The correspondent also says the bom bardment Sunday was only intermit tent, supposedly because the ammuni tion of the Germans was nearly ex hausted. FEELING THEIR WAY.

A large body of German Uhlans are In the woods north-of Dinard, but they are already surrounded and their cap ture is certain. Several cavalry skirmishes between French and Germans east of Namur show the Germans have begun to feel their way south. FINAL TRIBUTE.

Santa Fe Wants Branner Street Va cated Through Yards. Because a former city council re fused to do as Charles K. Holliday had believed it would do, and as he had. assured officials of the Santa Fe railway company that it would do, C. W. Kouns. general manager of the Santa Fe, and William R. Smith, gen eral solicitor of the same company, appeared before the city commission today. Mr. Kouns explained to the present commissioners that at the time the Santa Fe and the Topeka street rail way companies built the Branner street viaduct, that the Santa Fe had "an understanding" with Mr. Holliday that the city of Topeka would vacate a portion of Branner street. .But the city failed to do it. The street is still open to traffic There are twelve or more railroad tracks there, including those serving the main line. There is much switch ing between the yards and the vari ous shops. "It is extremely dangerous to have this street open. My heart stops beat ing every time I go down there," said Mr. Kouns. "The object of building the viaduct was to do away with the surface crossing. But the surface crossing is still there." Mr. Kouns offered to have engineers of his company make a survey with a view to building an extension of the viaduct to of past Second street The present viaduct begins on Branner street and turns east to Lake street, and because of its indirect course is not well patronised. Mr. Kouns' of fer was accepted. FACE BUSY; SESSION. Kansas Labor Federation Adjourned During 'Wilson FuneraL Pittsburg. Kan., Aug. 10.

Bear from practice since his defeat in the sectional doubles at Chi cago last week and the fact that Maurice K. McLoughHn and Thomas C. Bunday have been practicing to gether, has led to the belief there that Behr will not b e the champion's teammate against the Australians in the doubles for the Davis cup next Friday.- While It was openly stated yesterday by prominent tennis author ities that Behr had been eliminated from the American team, no official confirmation waa forthcoming. n practice yesterday the teamwork of the national champions was the sub ject of favorable comment. They won one set 8-6 and the second was 5-all when play waa stopped. The Austra- uans iook a much needed rest yes terday, but planned to practice today. E.'"ETT 70!1 TV0.

V if TOD 0?ZSA DAILY JOXJZHM--HOBDAY ETCITIirCJ, 10. 1C14. 4 SPORTS 6R ADDED A PAIR Kawblrdles Wallop Winsome Witches Twice. Jtidgeway Pitched Great Ball in First. "CHOIE" WHELAN DID IT With His Little War Club He Iced Game. Second Was Sot So Close, but Great Exhibition. Winning doable bills deems to bo a favorite pastime of the Kaw birdies. Not content with walloping the win some Witches Trom Wichita in the first act of the matinee at the ball yard Sunday afternoon, they came right back and repeated the dose in the second .ncident, although they were a little more careful about the patrons' feelings in the second affair. The first game was featured by the rather "nawst" temper shown by one Peaches f-raham. commander-in-chief of the forces of Wichitakavitch. On several separate ind distinct occasions did Mr. Graham manifest his extreme disapproval of Mr. Stockdale's arbi trating, ar d at the Kaw ball park on the Sabbath afternoon Gawg Peaches Graham did then and there proclaim with much gusto that he would for lesj than one cent fresco Mr. Stock dale's striki.-gly handsom mug in beautiful and weatherproof floral de signs, which favor said Mr. Stockdale declined --y politely, modestly ad mitting that Ms countenance as it was was sufficiently attractive to get the lady bugs on his side of the argument. Mr. Graham was not the only one who lost his live stock, by the way. One Cyril Forsythe did also lose a valuable rumirant somewhere in the Kaw pasture. Cy became so peeved at the way Mr. Graham insisted on belaboring the abbreviated umps with unkind and unholy phrases that he arose to righteous anger and de manded the immediate banishment of the aforesaid gullible party who was the cause of the slight disagreement. After expending valuable time and energy in useless oratory the afore mentioned ndlviduals allowed the lit tle entertainment to progress. The first paragraph in the after noon's chapter was enough to make any citizen with a weak pumping ser vice think of plumes and sneaky mu sic. Those redlegged Witches insisted on walking off with the little exhibi tion while the men of Cooley insisted thnt ft h(lnn?prl trk thsm Inagniiiith lhv ha a ohnr, tivno arr 1 r. ...1 j Sioux City three games and they were running short of funds. Peaches Graham and his eccentric assistants started out in the second inning to put the game away. Bills started the trouble with a three bagger that took a bad bounce over Forsythe's head. He scored on Rapp's hit to loft. Rapp stole second after consid erable effort, Henry lifted a high fly to Lattimore. Then Peaches the Peace able, strode to the platter with a ve nomous gleam in his optics. Graham took one swing at the ball but neg lected to hold on to his war club and Bald war club almost derailed Rldgway who stopped it with the lowermost portion of his person. Everybody rest ed while Graham pursued his unruly nwatstick. Graham regretted the ac cident for only one thing and that was that Mr. Stockdale was not right where the bat attained its greatest altitude and velocity. Graham was morgued by Ridgeway and Koerner. They added another to their sum total in the ninth inning and that one made it look like they would sure win the act. Nicholson led off with a hit to left that was a single ordinarily, but the speedy outfielder turned it into a two base hit. O'Rourke went out, Lat timore to Koerner, Nicholson going third. Fitzsimmons smashed a two bagger to the left field wall and Nich olson ambled across the skillet. Bills ended the epoch by grounding out. Lattimore to Koerner. Then came that finish. It was one of those accidents that make the hos pitals do a thriving business for sev eral hours afterward. It even caused the dignified and sedate Richard t'ooley to toss Ms roof in the ambient ether and do a maxixe around the enclosure like a corn cure advertise ment. Verily it was some climax to the best ball game of the present se ries with the Witches. The Herr Reislgl was sent in to do a pinch-hitting act and he delivered with a whistling single to center, but was forced a second a minute later by Cochra. LaFlambois flied out to hi -on a"'' men Cy Forsythe came through with a two-bagger that scored Cochran from first. Mr. Slagle decided that "Chimmle" Whelan looked better to him than Phillip Koerner, inasmuch as he lacks some thirty pounds of the avoirdupois car ried by the husky first Backer. With this thought in his mind the crafty Slagle threw four wide ones to Phil and then beamed on Whelan as that sawed-off young man faced him. But "Chimmie" made their guess look like a large hole in the climate. He soak ed one on the beak that traveled afar over the caps of Bills and Nicholson end into the grass adjoining the fence. Koerner and Forsythe had crossed the plate before the ball had started its return journey to the dia mond. Then something broke loose. We were going to say pandemonium, but that could not stay in the same league with what followed. Hats were "ruint." Umbrellas by the score were rendered hors du combat. In fact everything breakable about the park was in grave danger of becom ing a minus quantity before the ex citement was over. Sunday, Aug. 9. Regular game. WICHITA. Players AB. n. H. p. A. E.

The second act of the little perform ance, although not quite so thrilling as the first bill was still a mighty good ball game all things considered, includ ing Peaches Graham. We fail to note where the umpires profited by the change of managers whereby Nick Maddox was released and Graham suc ceeded him. Graham continued to manifest his sweet? disposition' through out the second game and some of his remarks to the boss of the affair were enough to warrant his being banished from the going in double quick time but the umps evidently realized that Peaches had a burden on his mind to run the Wichita ball club and knew not what he spoke. Anyway he stayed in the game and talked and did his usual good job of receiving. In this course McDonough. the new catcher appeared on the menu card but the chef discovered that he was not up to the standard of the Cooley Cafe and eradicated his name from the list re placing him with several Rapps. Mc Donough is a good catcher but he still carries some superfluous avoirdupois which must be taken off before he can stand the going in the Western league. The Kaws started the scoring in the first stanza with one run. LaFlambois singled through the pitcher's box and Forsythe followed with a single to right LaFlambois tried to go to third on the hit but Ochs' throw beat him there. Forsythe went to second on the play. Koerner followed with a single to right and Forsythe scored. Whalen went out. Baker to Henry. They added another in the next In ning. Talllon started with a single and scored when Fitzsimmons made a bad return to the plate after touching Lat timore between first and second. This Incident in the proceedings was a signal for more flowery oratory on the part of Boss Graham who delayed the game a few minutes until he could get the elo quence out of his system. Two more were added in the fourth when Whelan walked and Lattimore drove one of Baker's choice offerings over the left field wall for the circuit. The blngle made the second in as many days for the husky second sacker who is getting a regular batting eye. The Kaws got two more in the sixth for good measure, a single by TalHon, a sacrifice by Lattimore and a two bag ger by Rapps who had been shoved into the fray to fill the place formerly occupied by McDonough. A single by Cochran scored Rapps which concluded the Cooleyites part of the counting. The Witches made their solitary run In the seventh inning, a twobagger by Graham followed by a double by the Wichita comedian, Ochs, being the in gredients used in making the lone mark. Second game postponed from May 18. WICHITA. Players AB. R. H. P. A. E. Ochs, rf 3 0 1 1 1 0 Nicholson.

WHELM PASSES EXICLfllin After Giving Him the Once or Twice Orer Topeka Fans Decide That He Will Fill the Bill. (By Harve Parsons.) When the series opened, Dick Coo ley was asked what per cent of said series would be satisfactory to him. "A hundred and two per cent," re plied Obese Richard Just like that. The only worry of those who like to see the Fat One satisfied is how the heck he can get that other two per cent. Having won four out of five, with a prospect of closing fair and warmer this afternoon, he is doing fairly well, but a flock of expert bank clerks are now on the job trying to figure the other two per cent. The Sunday offering included a hair-raising' game. Twice had Fra Richard's character assassins gigged the defenseless Sandhlllers without visible effort, and they started the Sunday stunt with the Idea that Wichita was not only fruit, but ripe and growing on the lower branches. And they were shocked almost pain ed when Mr. Slagle, the well-known tosser for the Witches, tightened up like the hoops on a barrel of damp breakfast food, and fanned some of our most prominent ball-playing citi zens. Of course Mr. Ridgeway, home guard, was doing something of a like nature, but the enemy scored one in the second and another in the first end of the ninth, while the barefooted boy continued to hang horse collars on the row labeled "Topeka." It was a peevish, nerve-racking game. The visitors saw a chance to win one by a squeak so they squeaked. They also roared. Every play called for a talk fest. ".They filed demurrers in every decision. They not only chewed the fabric with the ump person, but they tried to pick raspberries, quarrels, et cetera, with the perfect gentlemen who represented Topeka. Graham, catcher, spoke feelingly to Forsythe, and Cy retaliated by hitting a two bagger. And then they yipped some more at the ump. But the ump is much like ex-Senator Curtis. He stands quite pat. In the ninth, when it looked like a two-to-nothing game for Wichita, Herr Reislgl came up to hit for Ridgeway. He didn't, but there were others. For sythe hit for two, scoring Cochran from first; Koerner walked, (they were afraid of him) and Whelan, the new short stopping person, squared himself with Topeka fans for quite a while. The enemy passed Koerner so they could "get" the "easy mark." The "easy mark' drove one into the fence, scoring Koerner and Sy. il course he could have scored, but there was no occasion for it, and the score looks better 3 to t than it would otherwise. The red-hot finish got the first real rise out of Topeka fans for quite a while. A couple of thousand steady patrons stood up and announced that Whelan was all right, and the an nouncement was heard on Kansas ave nue, three-quarters of a mile away. The second Sunday game was not ex citing. Dashner, pitching for tha home contingent, had a left-hai ded brand of something that was a foreign sub stance, so far as Wichita batters were concerned. The home guard scored one in each of the first pair of innings, two in the fourth and two in the sixth. The visitors got one in the seventh, and then the homers lay down and let them make three more in their end of the ninth. It was in this game, fourth inning, that Lattimore made hay by pushing one over the fence with Whelan on. In the sixth, silent Willie Rapps, who caught the first game, came back without requisition papers and relieved Mc Donough, the new catcher, who was more or less all in. McDonough is soft and squashy from being out of practice, p.n.1 blew easily. Tough Willie was there like a cake of ice. He wanted to go home after the first game, but Fra Richard told him to stick around, so he did. And he came in handy. His first effort was to hit for two, scoring Noise less Tallion, then Cochran hit two, scoring Bill. It was not a close game by any means, and the homers were OH, GIRLS, LOOK! ITS FAD NOW TO PLAY TENNIS IN BARE FEET flUj j VJ Giri tennisera in bare feet. Rave yon heard boat it? Well, if just like this. When your little tootsies) tan fro and grow all aorta of corns Just go out and play tenma in your bar fact, cirls seam to Jika it, too, never In Jeopardy, -as. In the first ses sion. The Saturday Incident. It was nathing to apeak of. Every body on the home team ran around tha course until they were tired of running. Noiseless Tallion hit a three bagger and then pasted one over the fence. The score became a public scandal before the ninth, when tne nome contingent loosened up and presented the visitors with four runs, just because they need ed them. Mr. Grover hurled In this incident, and Messrs. Slagle and Lambert did their best for Wichita. The guest of honor at the Saturday game was Hon. Willie T. Morgan, of Hutchinson. He said the game was all right, but tame, and should have a little assault and battery mixed in to aaa "action" to the scene. On Sunday, Hon. Mitts Wilhite, of Empory, dropped in to see his pet Pottawot and the other boys. He seemed to be entertained, particularly in the steam-heated finish of the first game. Tonight Fra Richard and his troupe of trained seals go forth on a long journey. They will mingle with the Phillistines and other dry land pirates for more than three weeks, exposing their precious bacon to the ravages of every other team on the circuit. But they go forth, not as celier champs but as "riBlng" young men. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Saturday Results. At Chicago First game: R H E Washington 3 9 3 Chicago 8 2 Batteries Engele.

He asked for the release several days ago and the offi cers of tha local association finally gave it to him although they did not want to make the move. Every fan in the city regrets that this old veteran has been dropped from the club. No more popular player ever wore a uniform here. He Joined the team in the early part of tha 1913 season, and developed Pitchers Reynolds and Cocre- ham. Reynolds now la with the De troit club and Cocreham Is with Boston. in the National league. V Lou McAlister regrets that he could not remain with Topeka. He wishes to express his unbounded appreciation for the support the fans have given him and he has a large number of personal friends in the city. He has asked Tip O'Neill, president of the Western lea gue, for a position as an umpire but has not received an answer. Catcher James McDonough, recent'y signed by Manager Dick Cooley played in his first game with the Topeka club 1 Sunday. He did not make a good show ine; but that is said to be due to a lack of physical training. He has been out of the game since about June 1 and is "fat." Members of the club, who are acquainted with him. claim that he will be one of the best in the league, as eoon as he "gets going." The Topeka club made its last ap pearance today on the home grounds until September 7. Tuesday the club will begin a series at Lincoln and will play every other club on the circuit be fore returning home. The club will re turn home, September 7 for 27 games. Pitcher Reisigl. now with Topeka. may be declared the sole property of the club and all others denied claim on his services. Under 1 an optional agreement with the Detroit American League club, he was with the Provi dence club of the International league last year. This spring he was given his release and turned over to Mem phis of the Southern league and then sent to Topeka. In the lapse of time, the Providence club, which belonged to Detroit, was sold to the Lannin in terests which own and operate the Boston American League team. Now the Providence and Memphis clubs claim they have no claim on his serv ices. Through the officers of the To peka club he will submit the evidence to Secretary Farrell of the national commission and he believes that the commission will decide that he belongs to Topeka and that no other club has any claim on him whatever. Should the national commission de cide the question in this manner, Reisigl will be subject to draft and Topeka then will have the privilege of selling him to some higher class or ganization. What is believed to be a record for professional baseball has just been made by George Metzger, third base man of the Los Angeles club of the Coast league. Metzger played four consecutive games without having any kind of a fielding chance put out, error or assist. Joe Rivers, the coast lightweight, has a new idea. Wearying of criticism from fight fans, Rivers declares that to prove he is willing to meet any one in his class he will put a bunch of names in a hat and fight the man whose name is drawn out first. Rath er he will allow the newspaper men to ing my next match, so that there can select the name themselves. Joe does n't even care to know what names go in. "I'm sick of hearing people say that I purposely run out of matches, and so I'm selecting this way of choos ing my next match, so that ther can be no question." The thing will 'prob ably go through as Rivers has sug gested. Tom McCarey, the coast pro moter. Is pleased with the notion, largely for its originality. It's a new stunt, should attract attention and probably draw a big house. Frank Bancroft, secretary of the Reds, who is planning a baseball tour to the exposition this fall, announces that the plans for same are now about complete. An all-star team from each of the big leagues will be picked, and after barnstorming through the west they will arrive at Frisco and demon strate the national pastime to all who care to pay the small sum of 60 cents or 31. Bancroft is convinced that the thing will be a great success, and many of the players are showing a large enthusiasm. A small jaunt to Honolulu is also being arranged, that some of our more prominent ball play ers might enjoy the cultivating and re fining benefits of foreign travel. Clark Griffith and Jack Dunn, the Baltimore manager, are fighting bit terly over the possession of a young man named John Blair. He is said j to be a very clever outfielder and was ia. Griff says that he saw him first, while Dunn says that he saw him first, Blair reported to Washington, al though he had also signed with Balti more. Before the matter is thoroughly settled Griff will appear, perhaps, be fore the "commish." Pitcher Harry Swann has been un conditionally released by President Weeghman of the Chicago Federals. Swann was signed for one year by Manager Tinker, but has been unable to get in condition, and the president of the Chifeds made a cash settlement with him. Austin Walsh, utility out fielder, who played with the Green Bay team of the Wisconsin-Illinois league last year, has also been released by the Chifeds. The Brooklyn players say that Ollie O'Mara has made more plays at third than any other shortstop in any league. Ollie ii always up on his toes and eager to cover the third sack whenever the third baseman is called away from it. Ah, there, Ollie? Ell ROUTE TO LIEGE. British Force of 2,000 to Help the Belgians.

Advance payment la requested on these short time subscriptions, to save hnnkkrenlnx expenses. Germany's army appears to be in vincible only when it la not in action on parade, for instance. No wonder the European war is such a fierce "tie. Most of the crown ed heads directing It are near relatives. Germany's emperor probably will not take the field In person, but he has six fine sons- whom he Is sending to the front. mm Italy, is in u unique position. She may be forced to fight to maintain the neutral position towards the big war that she has assumed. Think of It! Little Belgium forced the mighty German army to its knees with a prayer for an armistice so that it could bury its dead. This is also going to be a war of words, as far as the German emperor is concerned. He issues a long string of them each cay in official proclama tions. All Gaul was once dlvlcfed into three parts. But Emperor William now seems to be possessed of the entire visible supply. He appears to be anxious to fight the whole world. A bloody incident of war Isn't any woive than a collision between a pas senger train and a railroad motor car when the gasoline tank in the latter explodes and a fire overwhelms the wreck. Switzerland is mobilising her army to enforce her neutrality, but the In terests here attaches as to what she wlil do with that navy of hers that Mr, Bryan invited to participate in formal opening of the Panama canal. Sugar Is going up in price on ac count of the war. Tea and coffee may follow suit. Most of these staples are carried to this country in ships that sail under foreign flags, none of which considers the sea safe. Cittsenship in a nation carries its burdens as well as Its protection. Jack Johnson Is likely .to have an oppor tunity to fight for France, and the blows that may land on htm won't come from padded gloves. And that pence in Mexico which the "watchful waiting" policy of the United States proposed to develop after the elimination of Huerta, appears to have been shunted onto a sidetrack. More "watchful wailing'" will probably be in order. Bravery of an almost unimaginable quality was displayed by the German troops in their unsuccessful attack on Liege. What a shame it is that men of such remarkable courage should be sacrificed to satisfy the whims of war lord. What unexpected turns develop In a war. Did anybody figure It out that Belgium, supposedly neutral territory, would be the scene of at least the first big battles, and possibly of decisive importance, of a war involving Ger- many, Austria, Russia, France, Eng land and Servia. William Waldorf Astor, one of the expatriated Americans, might attain the elevation to the British peerage that he has been seeking so long were he to organize and equip a regiment'of volunteers and lead it to the front. There is little chance, however, that be would be so careless as to risk his distinguished person in any such fash' ion. Although the government crop re port for August shows a falling off in the prospective corn yield over the earlier estimates, the present figures Indicate a yield that will be 200,000, 000 in excess of last year's crop.

A young man living in a suburb of New Tork we.s detained at business one Saturday night later than usual. He reached home nervous and tired from long hours at his desk. His Wife, her mind poisoned by the doctrines of extremists, questioned him about his every mave. The young husband stood on his dignity and refused an account ing of time spent in earning money for the support of their home. The wile fretted over it for two days and then committed suicide, leaving a note that will shadow the young husband's entire life. A young couple appeared in a court of domestic relations. The wife was de manding separate maintenance. An other case oi business absorption on the part of the husband, wrestling with the problem of increased cost of living and suspicion on the part of the wife. 8he had returned to her mother who Bad fostered her suspicion. These incidents are related In the Pic torial Review for September, and It adds: In neither case aid the wife have evi dence, nor did she seek to establish her charges. She became morbid on suspicions, fed by the doctrine of in nate. Ingrained masculine wickedness, exploited by inisrepresentatives of fem inism. Today too many wives are looking for evil In their husbands and too many men are on the defensive, a state of af fairs which will never result in sex equality. Women-there are who scorn to charge their faithful, plodding, tied-to-the-desk husbands with infidelity, but they do not hesitato to hold them up to scorn In public meetings. In this connection it is well to remem ber that we have not yet developed financial economic equality in the home. The average woman is still dependent upon the man who loves her and apenda the major portion .of his earnings adorning her person e,nd pursuing her pleasure. It 111 becomes such women to besmirch the hands that feed and clothe them. It shows not progress but ingratitude. Saddest of all. these dear women make statements which arouse the amused if not ribald comment of the public. Why should there be a Fathers' Day as i well as a Mothers' Day for special observance?" hysterically demands one woman's club. "Fathers taken as a class, do not stand on the same level as mothers. Fathers are "very .defective." veiecuve," yes, out sun wining to support cljbs at wnich such silly theories are advanced! SAFE CHOLERA SERUM. State control and Inspection of all commercial laboratories producing and distributing hog cholera serum without federal license Is advocated In reso lutions recently sent to the governor of every state by the executive commit tee of the United States live stock sani tary association, says Farm and Home. The committee believe that some ser um on the market is unreliable and dangerous and that serum produced under careful scientific supervision is essential, to success in combating chol era. The committee recommends that sep arate equipment be maintained for handling serum and virus, and that all equipments and apparatus be thorough ly sterilised in live steam at a tempera ture of at !east 120 degrees centigrade for an hour. Separate temperature and number records must be kept of all hogs used in the manufacture of serum and virus and the teatlnig of serum. Sanitary conditions of light, heat and ventilation must be maintained in all plants, with suitable arrangements for disposing of refuse. A cold chamber or refrigerator is required In which to store products. Further recommendations demand that the virus used for simultaneous treatments be collected from hogs inoc ulated by the establishment and that the temperature of supposedly virus hogs should not be accepted as proof of cholera unless supported by post nor tem examination. The use of virus should be limited to qualified vetertna rians especially trained in the careful and safe use of virulent blood. Products should be sold In contain ers bearing the name of the manufac turer, true name of product and date of manufacture. The simultaneous method usually should be used only in infected localities. Serum plants should be operated only under supervision of competent professional men especially trained for the work. WHEN LIGHT HURTS. Healthy people that live out of doors "rarely complain of the light. But any one who has tried photography knows that out door daylight is many times brighter than artificial light. In doors or out. When people suffer from artificial lights it Is something besides the strength of the light. It Is contrast that makes artificial light unpleasant. One who lives most of the time in poorly lighted rooms finds it unpleasant- to go suddenly into bright daylight. The more sudden the change, the greater the contrast, the more disagreeable the feeling. Arti ficial lights seen at night in sharp contrast with the darkness around them, are always unpleasant to face. A light that varies greatly from In stant to instant, now dim now bright, is very disagreeable and harmful to the eyes. When light hurts the eyes the first impulse Is to exclude It. Bat thought about the matter will com monly show some kind of contrast that might be avoided. Have the rooms indoors lighted aa well as pos sible. In going out pause a little on the threshold to become accustomed to the brighter Illumination. Do not face bright artificial lights with a dark background. Do not admit a streak of bright sunlight Into a room that is otherwise shaded, bat rather keep the windows wide open. TJi steady a source of light aa possible and avoid all sudden change of Ilium ination. If dark glass -are worn it should not be all the time; hat only when the eyes are exposed to the brightest light; so that the contrast between this and the feeble light may be diminished. Have a good light on. what yen look at, but do not let the source of light shine directly into your eyes. When light hurts the eyes. In spite of care to avoid strong contrasts, it la likely that, the eyes are strainea, or Irritated or Inflamed, ami the cause of the trouble should be sought out and removed. Persistent trouble oi this kind generally has a persistent cause, like atraln of the eyes: and It Is naoiaaa to treat the effect, wnuo cause continues to, keep up the trou ble.

The moment the yacht came within hailing distance of the dock at Old Harbor, Carlotta recognised her father and gave a funny little gaspy sort of laugh. "He Is there! Don, right in front! He. must have taken the train, down from Providence and caught tne Doat at Newport. I think Tess was a cat to tell him where we were going. Mavbe ahe didn't. He could nave found out from the hotel. I had mail forwarded here." Don stuck his hands in the pockets of- bis blue coat and stood with' feet -i pjirt, head down, belligerently. yHig hi father-in-law. Then he- was struck wHth an Idea. Telling Carlotta to go below into the pretty, cozy cabin, he went forward and spoke to the captain. Thereupon the "Southern Belle" anchored at a gobdly distance 1 from the dock, and no movement was made to launch her tender. Don got out some magazines and sat under the gay awning, reading leisurely. On the dock the major walked up and down. He was six feet talL with iron gray hair, mus tache and Imperial. Carlotta had al ways held that her father was the handsomest man creature until she had met Don Traverse. But now he was on the warpath. The glances he shot at the trim mahogany outline of the yacht were not friendly. If there was one thing the major con sidered thoroughly ridiculous and be neath one's personal dignity, so to speak, it was an elopement. And Don, after having been assured that he might pay his court to Carlotta for the next two years with a fair chance of success, had deliberately run away with her after the Fanshawe's orlen tal fete at Newport the night before. It was after 6 now. very properly, Tess. his other daughter, had called him up on the long-distance and no tified him of the escapade aa soon as she had missed Carlotta, and found a note from her. He had caught the boat from Newport, and arrived at Block Island at 3:30. Since then he had paced the dock and stared at the blue ocean for signs of the errant honeymoon craft; And all at once, as ne paced .and fumed inwardly, he heard a delighted little exclamation at his elbow, and wheeled about to face Sue Wlnthrop, Don s widowed aunt. 'How perfectly splendid of you to come to meet them, major!" she e claimed. "I Just came over on the New London boat, and ran down to e if they were safe in harbor yet. "There they are," said the major grimly, motioning with his cane to ward the placid figure under the awnings. "Carlotta went below when she saw me." "Did she?" Sue shook her pretty head musingly, her hand tucked around the major's arm. "I suppose it was unexpected. And we did have quite a rough time getting out of Newport "We 7" repeated the major, stiffen lng. "Mrs. Winthron. I'm amazed. Did you countenance this ridiculous business?" Sue nodded her head at him, with merry eyes. Let's go and sit In that nice little arbor up in the Ocean View grounds," she said. "We can watch them just as well from there aa nere. and they'll never come ashore aa long as you stand guard, you. know. Tou look positively -erriflc, major." "Tut! tut!" said the major, brood ingly. "But you mustn't look like an in dignant old gray cockatoo when you know you're the handsomest, dearest man alive!" He glanced down at her with a glint of returning humor in his gray eyes. "Sue, you're a wise little flatterer, and you know iXt my weak points;" "I've forgotten them,' said Sue, giving him' her black and white para sol to carry. The major glanced at her thoughtfully: as she led the way up the long flight of steps tj the arbor on the terrace above the dock. She must be every day of forty, and yet she was slender and vivacious, yes, even girlish. He breathed a little sigh, it had been lis last year in col lege. Somewhere among the "things treasured In his desk now there was a little reddish curl, clipped Just above her ear one night in fun. She had cuffed his ears for stealing it, too. And there had followed more. "Now, Isn't that nice?" Sue said, happily. Carlotta had come out on deck again. "Tou did frighten the child awfully.

Wasted Energy. One of the worst habits a human being can get into is that of doing things in the mind before he does them in reality. The other night as I lay on the couch I saw a magazine lying under the chair. "I muat pick that up when I get up," my mind registered. Then I went on reading. But presently I found my mind was not entirely on my book. A part of it waa picking up that magazine. Now I hate to stoop over. Those portions of housekeeping such as making beds, using a dust pan, dusting the lower parts of the pantry, etc., which Involve stooping, I dislike the most. Therefore the thought of picking up that magazine was an un welcome one and hence it obsessed my mind. Finally I got up. picked up the' mag azine and went back to my book. But I was ashamed of myself for doing that. I should have been able to put the matter absolutely out of my mind until I was ready to attend to it. Next time I shall try to do that, for, as I say, I think the habit of permitting one's mind to be obsessed by some thing you are going to do later is ex tremely dangerous to one's happiness and efficiency. It is this habit that often tires housekeepers more than their actual work. A neighbor of mine lay In the hammock on her rose screened veran da swinging idly to and fro. It was a beautiful afternoon; her work of the day was done; she had on a becoming gown; she should have .been happy and at peace. But I noticed every now and then an anxious look came into her face, and I inquired the reason. "I am thinking about that fruit I am going to preserve tomorrow," she answered, "and wondering where I will put it when it's done. My pantry la so crowded already." "V mm .Vi. wa nfn, mlnil wnrlr that aha would aertiallv do on the morrow and thus doubly tiring herself. A friend of mine who hates to get up In the morning says that while she lies In bed dreading to start she thinks about tt so Intensely that' she seems to project an Imaginary self out of bed. "Again and again I can feel myself get up and go over to the chair where my clothes are, "before I actual ly do get up." Now don't you think such ft process must tire her? A similar habit Is to have several things one wishes to remember seeth ing around in the back of one's mind snd to torture one's serf by going over them every little while. For instance, there are a half a doz en little things you want to put in your bag when you go away. Teu think of them; try to recall these few boors later; find yosj have torr ten, remembered, them; and then for- set uiem-again. Now that is all heedless wear and tear on the mind. Free your mind of n at once in one of two ways. Either get those things together ready to pnt is the bag. or make list of them. A tired mind is worse than ft tired body, because tt is so much more dif ficult to get tt rested. So do not les sen your efficiency by making your mind do the things that your body should dol On the Spur of the Moment Br ROT K. MOTJLTON. Undo Abner.

The next rooming when the sun had been up some time Billy Pig was still sleeping- soundly, when suddenly he was awakened by hearing a dreadful "bis-s-s bu-z-z bang bang." Out of bed jumped Billy Pig, and without stopping to dress he ran in his pajamas downstairs and out into the yard without stopping. His mother followed him to the door. "What the matter with you?" she asked. Billy Pig stood trembling as he an swered. "There Is a terrible animal in my room, and it growled and would have eaten me. I am sure, if I had stayed. I shouldn't wonder if Black Wolf had come down from the moun tains to carry us off. Tou better come with me, mother, and get out of tbe way." Billy Pig followed hi mother upstairs, but he was some distance behind her until he was satisfied that Black Wolf was not In his room; then be went In. "It was the clock you heard," said the mother. "Show me how you made it talk," said Billy Pig. thinking of something which he did not tell his mother. Billy Pig dressed and ate his breakast In silence, but every little while he would smile, and once he had to cover his face, he wss laughing so. "I want you to finish weeding tne garden this morning." said his mother. Billy Pig promised he would work faithfully, but first he went upstairs, and when- he came down he carried something under his Jacket, but his mother was busy washing dishes and did not notice him.

If merchants In the eastern states are making an excuse of the war to charge higher prices for food, they will per haps be made to, listen to some elemen tal truths -y having stock left unsold upon their hands. War produces at the same time famine in market and glut in producing lands. Food Is contraband. It can be shipped to England or France only If the sea is successfully patrolled, and at buyer's risk. It cannot be ship ped to Germany at all, and German cities already feel the nlnch of want. It is the price they pay for permitting an autocrat to make war over their heads. Railroads refuse to bring f-td here for export. It is clogged some where, waiting for peace. Imported groceries and supplies. German beers. French wines and like commodities may ior a time seu nigner, and legitimately so; the stock once exhausted cannot at present be replenished. But no foods raised on American soil have any reason for snowing scarcity prices unless that reason existed two weeks ago. Later, when an impoverished world takes up the task of paying for wanton destruc tion, it may be different; but Just now let there be no nonsense about raising the price of American food to consum ers. Food prices should fall, not rise. New Tork World. HOPE FOR BALD HEADS. Hope springs eternal In the human breast, even If from the manly dome all but a few stray, insignificant fibers have fled.

Billy worked with a will and cleared his garden of the weeds. Then he ran across the orchard and looked through the stone wall. He could se Billy Goat in the middle of the-next lot. "He will be going to the barn soon," said Billy pig to him self, and then he laughed. Billy Pig ran back to the garden and put the clock under his coat; then he put some nice, big turnips in a basket and went back to the wall where he could see Billy Goat. He sat down end watched, and pretty soon Billy Goat started off across the field to the barn. Then Billy Pig Jumped over the wall and crawled along on the ground. When he reached the middle of the field he stopped and put the alarm clock on the ground and covered It with grass and stones. On top of this be put the turnips. "There," he said, as he put the last -turnip -on the heap, "if Billy Goat comes back in half an hour he will get the fright of his life." Billy Pig had only Just climbed over the wall when Billy Goat came back to the field and walked slowly toward the heap of turnips. He did not see them at first and stopped ft short dis tance from them. After a while he walked nearer and soon he espied the vegetables, of which he was so fond. H to tnem n began eating. He had begun on the last turnip when "buz-z-z, bus-z-s. buz-s-z, bang bang! went the clock. Billy Goat dropped the turnip he was eating' and Jumped. The clock was still making a noise, snd Billy Goat ran as fast as he could and stood at some distance looking at the spot where the noise came from. Billy Pig, of course had been watch ing, snd he laughed and rolled over on the grass, he was so pleased, but' when he had waited a minute he Jumped up and looked through the' wall, and he stopped laughing.

P03T HRTHU3 KOTO TO IT A Woman Could Have Hit Them as They Came. Great Guns Cut Long Avenues in Their Ranks. Brussels. Aug. 10. "The Liege forts till stand and they will stand." In these words a high Belgian officer sum marized the situation. The events i the week have "given the Belgian troops such confidence in themselves that despite their heavy losses they are today a far stronger force than they were a week ago. They have shown the larger armies behind them that even the magnificent troops of Germany can be resisted. The shoot ing of the attackers was not good. The fire which they had to face was in dividual, careful and collective. The losses on tho German side were, in con sequence, very large. Around the forts, especially at Boncelles, bodes of dead Germans were piled up in great num bers. I have had today a very interesting conversation with one of the Belgian lancers who was wounded during the lege. He actually calls the condition of the German army terribly unpre pared and unwieldy. "It was tragis," he declared, "the way those poor fellows were driven up to the guns of the forts. They came in masses. They stood but five paces apart with about fifteen paces between the ranks of the solid mass which even a woman might have hit. We simply could not miss them. Our great guns cut long avenues in their ranks before our in fantry had begun to charge. Heaps of dead and dying lay in masses in the fields. From all accounts Port Arthur was nothing to it. Our men charged repeatedly with fixed bayonets. "They did not care. They saw red. Nothing seemed to stop them. "It was horrible. "Then the cavalry charged them. I have no recollection of what happened to me. I remember only the charge and my lance was broken I don't know how." Wounded men told me that General Iiomin, the gallant commander at Liege had prepared the field with mines north of the city. He sent a small detachment out to the north of this field. The Germans immediately fell into the trap and attempted to cut off this small force. The current was switched on and the whole German force was destroy ed. The heaps of dead in the field around Liege were terrible to look upon. It is officially stated that Liege is now completely invested by Germans and that all communications with the outer world is cut off. 'Thls: has from'the first Beeti reckon ed on in the drawing up of the plan of campaign. All the forts are still in the hands of the Belgians. The Germans lacked ammunition and it is known that the forts are well provided with food and ammunition and caji hold out for a long time. Steel Trade Is Better. New York, Aug. 10.

Chicago, Aug. 10. Johnny Jones and Mary Jane and all their little friends and playmates have an un pleasant surprise ahead of them. Christmas this year is not goiftg to be a real Christmas. There will be no imported toys or gewgaws, or knick nacks, or electric trains, or mechan ical dolls, or automatic tricks. It will be no Christmas at all. And the great European war is the cause of it all. The German, French, and Swiss cities that were once the beehives of the toy and ndvelty indus try, are now heated -With martial spir it. Streets and buildings that once were busy with Johnny'a 'and Mary's Christmas are filled with soldiers and cannons and warlike spirit. Xo Time fop' Tin Soldiers. Germans, whose cunning efforts brought surprise and joy into the life of "Young-America" on Christmas morning, are now shouldering rifles and using their cunning to kill French men, who also may have been working for?

As the channel is where the British navy is chiefly operating against Ger many, naval experts consider this min ing of "the high seas" by contact min ing a justifiable war measure. Following the news of the mines the state department officials concluded that there ia probability that relief ships sent from America or, leaving Europe will depart with American refugees through any German port. The state department said assurances Were received from the German gov ernment that no Americans are held in duress within German territory, and that the orders issued concerning Americana simply prohibited them from using the ordinary means of com munication while the German forces were being mobilized. Secretary Bryan paid a short visit to the White House, after which the an nouncement concerning the German mines was made. LOVEUIID Oil WAR. Kormer Topeka Pastor Spoke Here on European Situation. The present war in Europe will mean the end of war. according to Dr. F. Ik Loveland. pastor, of the First Methodist church of Portland, Oregon, and formerly pastor of the First Meth odist church of Topeka, in speaking before a packed house Sunday night at the union services in the First Metho dist church. It was the largest union service at tendance of the summer Sunday night. Even the windows and doorways were occupied. At times in the course of Dr. Loveland's discourse on the effect of the present war upon modern civil ization, there was clapping of hands. While he regretted the awful trag edy that is being enacted in Europe, it was Dr. Loveland's opinion that God Almighty has pome purpose in it that wiU work out for the benefit of the human race. Dr. Loveland spoke of the rulers who have perpetrated war in no com plimentary terms. He said: "Europe ha been thrown in war by a weak, doddering old man in his childhood, who is the ruler of Aus tria,' by a half-baked neurotic, who is the czar of Russia, and by the bril liant, scholarly, political schemer, who is the kaiser of Germany. But they realise that it is the death struggle of the monarchies. A democracy Is coming to Europe. American ideals will invade Europe before we die. It means the overthrow of ecclesiastical power."

"Yes, we have a few toys left over from last season," he continued, "but there are not enough, to supply a small fraction of the demand.

London, Aug. 10. London is in the midst of war times. Newspapers issued extra editions hourly Sunday, even the Times and Daily Telegraph Issuing four-page war Sunday extras. Immense congregations filled the churches.- The attitude of the people is calm. stern-: and serious. There is no gaiety or war fever anywhere. Every body, from hotel porters to peers, from loungers to noble lords. Irishmen and English alike, is absolutely of one mind about the war. Posters appear calling for volunteers. They are signed "Kitchener." Enroll ment is proceeding at the rate of many thousands a day. Women are volunteering as nurses by hundreds. The Prince of Wales, now a second lieutenant of the Grenadier Guards, is personally endorsing all checks, how ever small, received for the relief of the widows and orphans. .Headquarters for the fund are at St. James Palace which is open to every body and visitors at any time can see what subscriptions have been re ceived. The king's second son is serving as an ensign on the Collingwood, which pre sumably is with the North Sea fleet. Other posters requiring every German in London to register at the nearest po lice station prescribe a peralty of $500 for failure to comply. England's entire grain crops were harvested juet before mobilization be gan. The entire wheat crop is sufficient for only ten weeks' supply. Restaurant prices nave not advancea yet.

With the ports ot Europe blockaded, an enor mous opportunity for the commerce of the United States appears to have been opened in South America. In a timely bulletin from the Pan American Union the following statis tics appear: "All South America is an enormous purchaser of manufactured products of Europe. A large portion of this supply will be shut ofT during the next six months, and possibly during the next year or two, if the war continues. "As many South American coun tries depend largely upon Europe for their absolute necessities and a major part of these orders are placed but a short time ahead because of thq ex cellence of the regular shipping facili ties, they are now face to face with an immediate famine in the articles which they most generally import. "According to the latest available figures collected in the Pan-American Union, the ten South American coun tries Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay. Peru, Uruguay and "Venezuela annually im port products valued at $961,000,000. "Of this there comes from Europe products valued close to $660,000,000. "If the United States manufacturers and exporters will exert every- effort to supply this emergency demand without increase of prices or'unneces sary delay, they will accomplish great permanent good for themselves and the South American business interests alike." The same compilation of figures shows that South America annually exports to foreign countries products valued at approximately $1,177,000, 000. Of this total nearly $700,000,000 goes to Europe. Reason for Markets. "With therefore their markets for their raw material temporarily closed against th.m, these ten countries are looking for a place to dispose of their accumulating stores, and if the im porting interests of the United States, including the manufacturers of raw material, can relieve the situation by increasing their purchases, they may save the South American business in terests from a financial crisis "As nearly 90 per cent of the ex ports and imports of these South American countries are carried in German, British and other European bottoms, which are now withdrawn from the sea, all of their principal ports, lixe Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, Valparaiso. Callao and La Guayra, are in. a state equal to that of a formal blockade. "In this c .sis, it is to be sincerely hoped that the bill now being passed by the United States congress may be of great assistance in relieving the situation. That, however, can cnly point cat the way. "Just as war was declared, several of the principal countries in South America were giving loans in the Europe financial capitals. "For the present, and probably for a long period, it will be impossible to float such loans in Europe. "By endeavoring to help out these governments in this crisis they cannot fail to perform not only great service to such g- ernments, but place them selves in a favorable position to ob tain other loans in the future and favorable consideration from the gov ernments concerned."

Claude Mc Lain admitted his guilt as a horse thief and took sentence. He was ar rested in June for having taken a horse from a pasture in the south part of the county and attempted to drive it out of the country. A woman who accompanied him in his camping wagon was sent to relatives in Wichita. The third of the trio just sent to the penitentiary was the light hearted James Oliver Jackson who stole 42 cents and a revolver from a North Topeka store three weeks ago.

He was picked up at the Union Pacific station for the Emmett offense a few hours after having struck town, but he had time to commit the local bur glary and owned up to that. His quick transit to the penitentiary nearly makes a record for shortness of time between crime and punishment. ALL TAKE THE OATH. Federal Reserve Board Is Now Ready for Business. Washington.

PAHXS CCTZEnSIMED? "Will Rent Us Shade Soon, Says One Woman. Youngster Ordered Out of Wa- ter With Waistr Dr. Evil Haiding and Miss Blanche Boies, who have enlisted themselves in behalf of the children of the city, and are demanding tree waaing ai vase park for the youngsters, .want to know whether the water in Gage park be longs to the people of Topeka or to persons who have purchased conces sions there. Persons have called me by tele phone to tell me that children could not wade in the water at Gage park unless they paid a nickel eacn, ex plained Dr. Harding. "I called up Mrs. Elisabeth Barr Arthur, police woman, and asked her to investigate. She told me such work would be out of her line of duties, but that she would be please d to look into the mat tr. r She renorted to- that no charge was made for wading, but that a -charse was made for bathing suits. "Just to find out the exact situation Miss Blanche Boies took five little boys to the park Saturday afternoon, xney wore bathing eutts under their good clothes. .Their clothes were removed in a closed carriage and the boys went into; the water. They had been there bnlv a few minutes when a park po lioeman ordered them out, telling them thv imut Tiatronize the bathhouse. "W., I .Porter, city commissioner of parks,- in commenting on., tne aiiair was' quoted as saying that no charge is made for children to wade in the water, but that objection had been raised because the boys were using the open park fs a dressing- room. Ordered Over Interview. "A woman in North Topeka, who Is a widow and who makes her living by clerking in one of Topeka's depart ment stores, saw what Porter had said and thinking no charge was exacted. permitted her small son to go to tne park to wade yesterday. The young-! ster was no sooner in the water than a park policeman ordered him out in a way that drew general attention to the embarrassed boy. "The boy was wearing a white waist. The policeman told him that white waists were not permitted to be worn by those In the water. The bath ing suits which are rented by the per sons having that concession are all of dark color. I am satisfied that the objection to the color of the boy's waist was simply an excuse to com pel him to pay 25 cents for a suit from the concessionaire there. I am satis fied there is an organised effort to compel every person who uses the wat er in Gage park to pay five cents for the use of the dressing rooms, and 26' cents for the use of a bathing suit. For Benefit of Poor.' "The city pays to maintain these things at the park, and it pays per sons to be there and attend to things and I can See no reason why privileges should be farmed out to private per sona The park is supposed to be for the full and free enjoyment of the people of Topeka. About the only at traction Gage park has is its water and the persons who need and who would enjoy it most are the poor 'kids' who have few or no nickels to spend. Our city parks are being Com mercialized and the very persons most in need of them are being deprived of their pleasures because charges are be ing exacted for things that were in tended to be free." W. L. Porter, city commissioner of parks, is out of the city attending a meeting of the state Federation of Labor, at Pittsburg, Kan. However, at the meeting of the city commission this morning, a written recommenda tion from him was presented, to tne effect that the city enter into an ex clusive contract with O. T. Brownell. 1116 East Eighth street, excluding all others and giving Brownell a monoply of selling ice cream and soft drinks at Chesney park when band concerts are held there. Pat Boys Oat of Business. Heretofore enterprising youngsters in the neighborhood have engaged in this business. Mr. Porter's recommen dation will put them out of business. The proposition is for Mr. Brownell to pay the city ten per cent of his gross receipts for the exclusive priv ilege, Mr. Brownell to do his own aud iting of accounts. W. C. Ralston, city attorney, has drawn a contract in anticipation of j favorable action by the city commis- sion. He explained that the matter should not oe aeiayea as but. urowneu desired to begin business Wednesday night when Marshall's band will give a concert at the park. "This thing will start a lot of trou ble," objected Commissioner Bone. "And we will not know anything about what the reecipts will be," In terjected Commissioner Tandy. "The receipts will not be enough to pay the cost of printing the ordinance authorizing the contract," said Bone. However, the city attorney was au thorized to enter into a contract with Mr. Brownell. with the understanding that it should not be signed, until Wednesda by which time Commis-. sloner Porter will have returned.

London, Aug. 10.. Messages -received here tjc"ay in official quarters from the Belgian general staff assert that the occupation of the town ot Liege by the German troops has not had the slightest influence on the strategetic situation. It is declared that so long as the ring of forts around Liege remains intact, as It still is. the guns command three of the principal roads by which the German army. can advance. This It is pointed out, makes it impossible for the Germans under the present circumstances, to receive supplies or ammunition. Every line of railroad between Liege and the German frontier is alleged to have been destroyed and the Belgian troops are said to have blown up every Driage,. cuivert and tunnel. The Bel gian general staff declares that It has received reports that the Germans, ex pecting to take Liege in a few hours, brought with them only sufficient food for a few days and little ammunition, their plan being to rush Liege and make It their base of operations. The same authority states that the German assertion of the capture of four thousand Belgian prisoners is baseless and adds that not a single Belgian soldier remains in the town of Liege, as they are ail quartered in the forts. As far as can be learned by the Bel gian general staff some 120,000 Ger man troops were engaged at Liege. They are said to have been so weaken ed as to be unable effectively to attack the forts. On the other hand it is ar gued that it la not possible for the forts to concentrate their fire on the town of Liege itself. The next development In the situa tion Is expected to be the arrival of the Belgian main army reported to be advancing rapidly from Louvain in the northwest to attack the Germans oc cupying the town .of Liege.

Declares Billard a Strong Gubernatorial Possibility. STCES Vnii is raoTEo it is e:::3 sm c:z LAV AND ORDER W -V- HE SEES A VICTORY AHEAD Progressive Candidate Is Happy Over Prospects. Gives Figures on Which He Bases Assertions. With the 'nternal troubles in the Republican and Democratic parties, and the results of the state-wide pri maries showing the Republican party in control of the old crowd, Henry J. Jlen declares that the stage is set for a Progressive victory in Kansas this fall. In the "ace of it all, Allen sees indications of a really serious flght be tween the law and order forces and the resubmission element, which he believes ;ll add strength to the new party in this state. With the resub mission element of both parties sup porting J. B. Billard as an independ ent gubernatorial candidate, Allen be lieves the temperance element will naturally throw their strength to the Progressives. There is Joy In Allen's heart over the result of the Republican primaries. The Bull Moose gubernatorial candi date argues that the party is now firm ly in the clutches of the old crowd and that all of the argument has been taken out of the claims that the Re publican party "is ninety per cent progressive." The fact that the old crowd won in every contest where a progressively inclined Republican is concerned is refreshing news to Allen. He finds further Progressive hope in the fact that of the 650,000 voters in Kansas, fewer than 200,000 entered the primaries. This, in Allen's Judgment, means that the Progressives are pur suing the "watchful waiting" policy and will be heard from in November. Those Republican Primaries. "The results from last Tuesday's primaries show that the Republican purty is again in control of the stand patters," said Allen. "The results dis close the fact that the men who claim ed the Republican party is 90 per cent progressive are mistaken. Wherever there was a contest, the standpatter won. "Of course the Progressives didn't go to the polls Tuesday," continued Allen. "They had no contests. They were not interested, except in watch ing the fisht between .the Democrats and Republicans. The Fight in November. "The fight in November will be be tween the Progressives, the Democrats and Billard," said Allen, The WtchltM man Deiieves that "aft effort will be made to bring to Bil lard's support the resubmission ele ment of all parties and that 100.0U0 men may be enlisted in the cause in this state. These votes, with a reason able number of women who do not believe in the prohibitory liquor law, will make Billard a formidable can didate, said Allen. The larger per cent of the Blliard strength will come from the Democratic party, Allen thinks, and if the resubmission ele ment Is properly led and directed, the Billard fight in Kansas will draw the combined opposition of the law and order element into a fight of state wide importance. Republicans Xot Progressive "Tuesday's primaries proved that those Republican prognostirators who pleaded with the Progressives to come back on the ground that 90 per cent of the Republican party is still pro gressive, are unreliable prophets." said Allen. "Whatever the Progressives of this state were busying themselves at last Tuesday, one thing is clear they were not hanging around the polls trying to break into the Repub lican party. "Wherever there was a contest be tween a so called progressive Repub lican and a ctand patter, the stand pat ters won with ease. The progressive Re publicans had little following in the Re publican contests. There were in Kan aas last Tuesday more than 550,000 peo ple who ure entitled to vote. Less than 200.000 of them voted. Of the 350,000 who remained at home pursuing the watch ful waiting policy, there are not many Republican?, because the Republicans t-itr .i&iiis a airtrnuuus eraort 10 gel ut a full vote, preaching that the sig nificance of a full vote would have a Very beneficial effect upon the morale of the grand old party. ,This pleading philosophy, combined with the draw- Ing power of fierce contests for sena torial, congressional and local officers brought out about the full strength of the Republican party and it is disclosed to number less than 25 per c:rt of the entire electorate." Expec; to Win. Asked if he expected to win the election ..i November in view of the present situation in the Republican and Democratic parties, Allen said: "The Tuesday primaries show clearly that the contest in November Is between the Progressives and the Democrats r.-ith the candidacy of Mr. Billard giving the Progressives the advantage," said Allen. Allen will leave Kansas August 19 for Maine, and will spend ten days in the flght for the Progressive ticket in that state. He will return to Kansas September 1 and will open his flght for the governorship. Allen expects to make a thorough campaign. Congress man Victor Murdock will return to Kansas early next month and both Allen and Murdock will stump the state for the Progressive cause. In the fight they will be aided by many Progressives of national character. Greys, 3: Harvcyvtlle 2. Harveyvllle, Aug. to.

London, Aug. 10. The Austro-Hun-garian ambassador was still In London today and the British government seems disposed to leave the initiative to Austria-Hungary in the question as to whether war is to be declared be tween the two -countries. The delay of the French government in asking Austria-Hungary to declare her. intentions is understood in Lon don to have been due to the fact that the French fleet in the Mediterranean was engaged in convoying. Algerian troops to -France. France, therefore, was' not ready to cope with the situa tion in case the reply of Austria-Hun gary proved unsatisfactory, but upon the completion of the transportation of French, troops yesterday, the note of inquiry was addressed to the A astro-Hungarian ambassador In Paris.

8 IH I10RTII TOPEICA Weeds Growings Rank. Along Outskirts of City. Banks Unable to Supply De mand for Pennies. STATE TR00PSJ0 FT. RILEY "Sim" Coleman Tells of Drouth In Indiana. Other 'eus and Notes in North Shawnee County. The streets of North Topeka are being neglected by the officers of the city street department. The weeds have been allowed to grow rank and tall and this increases the dangers along the highway which may result in automobile collisions or in auto mobiles colliding with horse-drawn vehicles. The growth predominates principal ly along the streets near the outskirts of the city and usually in sparsely set tled communities. More complaint has been heard of the tall weeds that have been a'-lowed to grow on East Gordon street, Just east of the Union Pacific tracks. This is the road which goes to the Sardou avenue bridge. The curves in it and the tall weeds make It a dangerous drive for motor cars because of the liability of colliding with other vehicles. The weeds along this road, in some places, are more than eight feet tall. Other places are almost as bad.. Shortage of Pennies. The bai-ks of North Topeka are handicapped on account of a shortage of pennies. Not in many weeks have the vaults of the two banks held as few copper coins as at the present time. Today only a very small supply was on hand. In speaking of .he situation, A. V. Llndell, assistant cashier of the Shaw nee State bank, said: "They are all going out and none imir.g in." Clark Gresser, assistant cashier and book keeper of the Citizens State bank, blames the shortage on the merchants of that part of the city. The merchants of North Topeka use many pennies. They buy a large amount of produce and use the pen nies In making change. Another firm, the Dyal Brothers, dealers in junk, use a large number of copper coins in making change. The Dibble, Morns A Myers, Austln-Snedlker, and Dyal Brothers firms use almost ISO in pen nies each week. The copper coins are paid out to customers and seldom return to the same bank. The officers of the bank are unable to understand why the pennies do not return to their vaults. Very few pennies are received at either bank except as they are brought from some of the south side institutions. The south side banks often are unable to supply t!.e de mand of the north cide institutions. A shortage of pennies, among: the banks, is not a new condition. Banks on the south side, and even !n other cities, experience the same trouble, and no person ever has been able to explain why the little copper coins disappear. This condition extends throughout the entire country. The little copper coins are the smallest in United States currency.

The train for the Topeka. Lawrence and Atchison companies will leave here at 9 o'clock Monday morning. The I train from the southeastern part of the state will leave Topeka about 2 o'clock l in the afternoon. Companies at local points win oe hauled on the regular passenger trains and extra equipment will be attached to all regular trains.. There are 2 companies in the state. Letter From "Sim" Coleman. People in Indiana are suffering from a more severe drouth than was experienc ed in Kansas In 1S13. A letter has been received from Sim T. Coleman, of Washington.

Nothing concerning the profession seems more puzzling to the dear old public than the perpetual youth of our feminine mem bers. Haw often we hear remarks like. Why, I saw her as Juliet forty years ago and she doesn't look a year older now! Of course allowance is made for makeup, but when they see us off the stage at close range, they need another explana tion. How strange women generally haven t learned the secret of keeping the face young! How simple a. matter to get an ounce of tne raerconsea wax at tne arug store, apply it like cold cream and in the morning wash It off! We know how this gradually, imperceptibly, absorbs old cuticle, keenlnr the coraDlexion new and fresh, free from fine tines, sallowness or over-redness. We know, too, that this meicollsed wax is the reason actresses don't wear moth patches, liver spots, pimples and the like. Why don't our sisters on the other side of the footlights learn the -reason, and profit by UT Adv.

The skin is then too -large tn area to fit such tissue smoothly. It wrinkles or sags. To remedy this condition, there's noth ing so effective, so quick-acting, as a sim ple and narmieas wasn lotion easily made at home. Get an ounce of powdered sax olite at your druggist's, and a half pint witch hasel, mix the two and bathe your face in the liquid. This at once tightens the skin and solidifies the underlying tissue which, of course, smooths out the lines and draws in the sagging skin. It also stimulates circulation, bringing a feeling of freshness and smugness to a tired face.

Aug. 10. The whereabouts of Professor F. L. Black, of the Latin department of the Em poria Normal is still unknown. When last heard from in July Professor Black bad left Rome on a journey re tracing Caesar's route through Europe in the Gallic wars. He is known to have been in Switzerland for a short time before leaving for what is now the most troubled district in Europe. Professor Black had planned to make full military sketches of the bat tlefields and probable encampments of the ancient Roman armies. It is feared that his sketches and photo graphic apparatus may arouse the sus picion that he is a spy. He expected to return to America late in August. His friends still hope that he is not Im prisoned in the German or French frontier. ATTACKED BY RATS. Kansas in, 1 0 Ti war crisis in Europe will mean the inaennite postponement of the re organization of tha Cltv. Mex ico and -Orient railroad. according to W. T. Kemper, of Kansas City, mem- oer or tne reorganization committee and one of the close advisers to the Orient stockholders. This new development in the Ori ent's affairs marks the second time that a war has interfered materially with the progress of the system. Grants and concessions obtained from Porflrlo Diaz, when he was pres ident of Mexico and when the affairs in the republic to the south were in a peaceful state, put a rosy hue to the plans for a great railroad that would stretch from Kansan City to the Pa cific ocean. The rebellions in Mexico stopped the progress of road building there, and the more recent trouble has re sulted in the wrecking of much con struction that already had been com pleted. For a long time the builders of the Orient have ceased entirely In their operations In Mexico. The European war brings even more serious trouble to the Orient builders. The Orient securities repre sent aooroximatnlv 12 nnn nnn mA an per cent of these securities are held m xvonaon, Mr. Kemper said. He also stated the construction of that Prt of the Orient from Kansas City to Wichita will not be attempted, and win run now as it bas been running under the receivership. KILLED FOR TALKING.

ENROLL IN RED CROSS Every Subscriber of Two Dollars Is to Be Taken In. Ton Never Can Ten. Hicks You never can tell about woman. Wicks You shouldn't, anyhow. Boston Transcript New York, Aug. 10. The United German alliance, in resolutions made public here, calls upon the papers of the country to accord impartial and just treatment to all sides in the European conflict and condemns what la stvlerl aa the "attitude of certain portions of the English speaking I American press to spread impressions which lead to hatred of Germany and Germans." The resolution absolves Emperor William from responsibility for the war and attributes it to "France's de sire for revenge for the loss of Alsace-Lorraine; Russia's unappeasible appetite for world power and Eng land s jealousy of Germany. The alliance has formed an aid so ciety to give financial help to families of German soldiers and will start a similar movement among Germans throughout the United States. "We feel," says the resolution in conclusion, "that shortly the world will be able to judge calmly as to the real causes of the awful catastro phe and that then Germany and Its emperor will be acquitted in a forum uninfluenced by the dash of arms, by Washington, Aug. 10. Everyone who contributes two dollars or more to the American Red Cross fund for relief work among the. warring European nations will be enrolled as a member at large of the society for the remain der of this year and will receive the October issue of the society's magazine free.
