THE FEAR ONIEM CUT OFF Causes the Kaiser's Forces to Abandon Ostend. They Are Hammering on To ward Dunkirk and Calais. PUT IN SOME HARD IOXS Belgians Again Heard From in Vicinity of Lille. Russians Stop the Attempt to Cross the Vistula. London. Oct. 19. From the point of view of the allied armies so far as could be learned from the dispatches reaching London today, the situation in West Flanders and in France as far south as Lille, seemed on this, the seventy-seventh day of the war, per haps more hopeful than at any time since the German advance on Paris was checked. Though the news reaching England is meager and to an extent delayed, all tiding seem to indicate the Ger man advance from Ostend on the French coast towns has been blocked temporarily! at least, while further south in a region that was a week ago the extreme German right the invaders have been again compelled to give ground before the allies' wedge force which has been concentrating on Lille. Several reports contend the Ger mans have withdrawn from this town, but this is not confirmed, nor is the report that they evacuated Courlai, nearly 30 miles northwest. It seems plain that the menace here grew marked and that the Germany army operating along the coast of Flanders found Itself in peril of being cut off from the main body. What opposition they met along the sea is only guess work for it has never been disclosed in Great Britain what forces the allies have or at whatt point they touch the Germans Quit Ostend. Ail reports seem to agree that the city of Ostend is practically clear -of Germans who, apparently, are reform ing to the south with reinforcements and the siege guns used to batter the Belgian forces and they now propose ffcontlnued on Page Two.J HER CIWFOR HELP England's Appeal to Portugal Raises Confidence in Berlin. Russia Also Is Having Trouble With Rebellious Subjects. Berlin, Oct. 19. "Great Britain's cry for help to Portugal," the "chaotic sit uation" in South Africa and the "re volts in India," according to announce ment made in Berlin today, all are tending to raise German confidence. Reports received here from Constanti nople declare that Great Britain has pent three active battalions from Malta to India. Russian troops from Bessarabia have been sent to the Caucasus where revolts have broken out. The Russians are finding difficulty in creating new military organizations. In spite of their numerical superiority, officers and non-commisisoned officers are lacking at Warsaw. It is expected in Berlin that Ge: -.rat Von Hindenburg, the German com mander in Russian Poland, will be vic torious. SUMMARY OF TODAY'S WAR NEWS ft EUROPE Anti-German rioting In London was controlled by the police today. Torpedo boats are used In the ca nals of the north to c:j the allies. An Austrian submarine was sunk by a trench cruiser In the Adriatic today. The German advance from Ostend on the French coast towns has been blocked. This Is the 77th day or the war and the most hopeful for the allies since hostilities began. The general situation in France Is unchanged, it Is believed that an im portant movement is under way. Around Przemysl the Austrian have killed and wounded 40.000 Rus sians and have crossed the Carpa thians. A Japanese cruiser was sunk by striking a German mine near Kiao thow today. Three hundred forty four of !ier crew were lost. The British cruiser, I'ndaunted. ac companied by two torpedo boat de stroyers, have captured a German mine layer In the North sea. Heavy rains and cold weather have hampered the movement of the troops In France. The Held are ver itable bogs through which men and horses flounder. The Germans have succeeded In crossing the Belgian border near tlie coast and arc only ten miles from Dunkirk. It is believed that the Ger mans are preparing u. bombard the Dunkirk forts.

""Setts, widow of J. B. Betts, contractor and at oite time state senator from this county, and Fred P. Metzger, formerly president of the BELGIANS WATCH FLAMES DEVOUR CITY German American bank, co-operated to deprive the heirs of J. B. Betts, other than Mrs. Betts, from receiving their just proportion of the Betts es tate, is the claim set forth in a case now being tried before Judge George H. Whitcomb in the second division of the Shawnee county district court. Lulu M. Betts is suing to quiet her title to the Betts residence near the governor's mansion at 825 Buchanan street. The house cost $25,000. Mrs. Betts claims the property both by right of a deed executed to her by Betts and also under the terms of a will which 5he claims Betts left. That Betts left any will whatever, or that if he did leave a will, the same was ever deliv ered, is denied by the defendants, who claim that what is the "pretended" will of J. B. Betts. deceased, is in reality the will of Lulu M. Betts and Fred P. Metzger. This was the declaration of Charles Gaw, representing the de fendants. The defendants are Freda M. Betts, R. Myrtle Goodrich. Harry C. "Good rich, Joseph Warren Betts and the United ST'.. es Mortgage and Trust company." Freda Betts is a daughter of J. B. Betts and of Mrs. Lulu Betts, while R.

Girl Dies Very Suddenly Sunday Public Meetings Prohibited. Iola. Kan., Oct. 19. An epidemic of diphtheria has broken -out in Gas City, a town of 1,500 inhabitants three miles east of here, and all schools have been closed and public meetings abandoned. Seventeen new cases were reported this morning as having developed &ince Sunday. The epidemic has been raging for ten days and two deaths txe reported so far. One two-year-old girl died Sunday so suddenly that the coroner was called to ascertain the cause of I er death. It developed that diphtheria was the cause. The board of health has issued orders that everybody un der 1 7 years of age must stay at home. It is said that th disease was spread by a family belonging to a re ligious sect which refused to call a doctor when their daughter was stricken. Instead, it is said they took her to one of their meetings and prayed over her, thus exposing others to the disease. Later Orders. Later the board of health amplified their earlier order and forhi.de per sons less ethan 21 years old leaving the' city limits of Gas City and di rected officials of the railway to re fuse passage to such persons. It was also announced that any one less than 21 years of age. entering the city would be held there until the epi demic was over. The Day in Congress. Washington. Oct. 19. Senate not in session.

Movement No Longer Possible to Kaiser's Troops. Belgians Repulse Attempt to Cross the Hirer Tser. London, Oct 19. By reaching out to the seaboard the allied forces have established close contact with the British navy, which Ui now on the extreme left of the line and seems from the London view -for the mo ment to block effectually a further Gorma.n vfTort to turn this wing.' That the Germans may have grasped this is perhaps indicated in the othe-wlse unexplained appearance of four of their torpedo boat destroy ers Saturday off the Dutch coast southward bound. It is suggested that the object was for the destroy ers to convoy submarines which would jiiaiuit. thA command of the sea on the Belgian littoral.

That they have made a forward move is evident not only from the newspaper dispatches but from a con firmation of these dispatches in an Mimim(patinn from Paris. .t.t.j that the Belgians had repulsed several attempts of the Ger mans to cross the River Tser, which is ten miles nearer the coast than is Afc-r fituAwnifi Rnnfora -and Menin lira xiivi line, which they occupied on the pre vious day.

Cettinje, Oct. 19. An Austrian sub marine was sunk in the Adriatic today by a French cruiser. Two submarine vessels went out from the Bay of Cattaro to attack its French fleet, which was making its way along the Dalmatian coast. They were quickly sighted by the French lookout and a shot sent one of them, the leader, to the bottom. The other escaped. The French fleet subsequently re commenced the bombardment of the forts of Cattaro. An Austrian aeroplane dropped sev eral bombs in the neighborhood of the fleet but no damage was done.

"The children v ere-given an oppor tunity to develop -in accordance with their beings." said the speaker. "The child was free to do any act fust so long as that act die not interfere with the happiness of others. The child differs from all other little animals In having a mind. "A complete and interesting world of work was devised. All children i were fully occupied. Idleness is not freedom to a child. The children lived lives there from morning to night. It was a revelation of what children are like. Look After "Little Animals. "No part of the human race suffer so much injustice as the little chlldres) largely through their gentleness. "Dr. Montessorl speaks in her sec- ond great book of dealing with the ills of humanity through the children.

War Soon Will Exhaust Supply, Is Warning. cam v:i"G herds Methods Mast Be Adopted to Face Sltuatlon.4 if Wonderful OpportunltlesCfor Young Men of Nation. Chicago. Oct. 19. Shortage of a meat supply faces the world as a re ult of the war, George McCarthy of New York, secretary of the American Meat Packers' association, asserted be fore the ninth annual convention of the association which opened here to day. "Europe will soon exhaust Its own food supply and then will drain the world to feed its huge armies and helpless populations," Mr. McCarthy aid. "The results will be felt the world over. Taken in connection with the fact that this country is extremely short of food animals, the prospect for an abundant supply either in the United States or abroad are not en couraging." Discuss Meat Questions. Light on the vexed questions of the 'diminishing beef supply, the waning herds on the American cattle ranges, methods to be adopted to Induce farm ers to raise more stock and the effects of the war on the cost of food prod ucts is expected to be shed by the con vention which is to be in session for three days. More than seven hundred representatives of five hundred pack US and supply houses are attending the convention. H. T. Cash, of St. Louis, heading a delegation which seeks to bring next rear's convention to St. Louis, said that the young men of today have a good chance to get rich raising hogs. "There never was such a chance af forded our bright young men as today In raising hogs," Mr. Cash said. "They can make more money raising hogs than in any other line of farming." Among subjects up for consideration before the convention will be a request (or the government to make appropria tion to stamp out tuberculosis in cattle and to have the tax removed from oleomargarine. Under Gov ernment Control. James Craig, jr., presdent of the 'American Meat Packers' association predicted the time when practically every Industry in the country would be Under government supervision. "The most notable developments of the year," said he, "in respect to the Supervision and control of our business by department officials probably are, Brst, the new life that has been put Into the federal food and drug law, by the energy and enterprise of Dr. Als berg, of the bureau of chemistry, and, second, the avowed intention of the bureau of animal industry to co-operate with him in the enforcement of this law.". The speaker said the enforcement bf the law must be commended for the elimination of unnecessary hardship on the packers. Conflict of state laws, however, he said, was a handicap. James E. Poole of Chicago, an auth ority of live stock conditions declared that large areas on which cattle might be raised He idle and that more and more farmers were turning their hay and corn directly Into cash instead of feeding livestock. He added that one of the reasons for this was the diffi culty of financing breeding operations, and suggested that postal savings on which the government pay 2 per cent Interest could be loaned to cattlemen at 8 per cent and that this would go far to revive the waning industry. He attacked the law which gives certain water rights to homsteaders, asserting that for every water source given over to the private ownership of a home steader the country was deprived of one thousand cattle. Removal of Tariff. The removal of the tariff tax from cattle, in the hope of augmenting the supply, the speaker said had proved a failure. Disease had largely re duced hog production, he said. The use of postal savings, he predicted, would re-establish the cattle Industry on a self-sustaining basis within ten years. The report of the executive committee touching animals disease declared that $200,00,000 Worth of live stock was lost annually through preventable disease. The govern ment, however, it was stated, was do lag excellent work in combating this waste. THE .VEATHKR RECORD.

"But it does not prevent the business men of a town reaching an agreement that they will not sell any goods on credit to William Deadbeat. The merchants can do this individually just as well as not but If they think an agreement is necessary, or if they form a credit ratings associa tion to handle their credit business I do not ebelieve they will be violating the law. "But the merchant must riot go Into an agreement not to buy, not to sell or fix the prices at which they will sell or buy goods. That would be unlawful and they should not refuse to sell to an in dividual whose credit Is nil, if he offers the cash. But the merchants can re fuse to sell to him on credit and all the merchants in the town can agree not to sell to that man unless he pays cash. It is protecting their own business, not a discrimination against him In favor of some one else." The anti-trust law does not contem plate prosecution of wholesale sale or retail merchants who are members of trade associations when the associa tions condemns certain practices like cutting rates or prices but the merchant must be able to show that he was not compelled to follow the action of the association and if he did follow it that he did it as an Individual. Any asso ciation that attempts to regulate the business affairs of the members so far as restrictive measures are concerned where the entire buying or selling pub 11c is concerned violates the law. GERMANS BLOCKED. fContinued from Page One. to hammer on toward Dunkirk and Calais. One report says that they are beyond Fumes, less than ten miles from Dunkirk. Further south In France reinforce ments from Brussels are said to have been brought up before Lille which the Germans are reported as bombard ing in a desperate attempt to retake the place. The Belgians themselves have been putting in some hard knocks. Ac cording to a Paris official communica tion they have held the Germans In an attempt to cross the river Tser, south west of Dixmude, Belgium. This was the first heard of the Belgian forces since the evacuation of Antwerp and now they are found appropriately and picturesquely defending that little splotch of their own country that the invaders have not taken. King Albert, unheard of for some time, is said to have cheered the men in the field. Some of the leading pa pers describe the German evacuation of Ostend as a retirement to the east on theory that the allies' progress to the south threatened to isolate the Ostend garrison, making a retreat im peraltve. Gunboats In Canals. From various sources came reports, none of which were confirmed that some sort of naval craft are being pressed into .use by the allies in the canals of Flanders and perhaps from the sea. Sunday a dispatch direct from Dunkirk said heavy firing could be heard there and it was believed that gunboats were being used in the canals. It was added that heavy fighting was progressing south of Os tend, which if true meant the presence of allied forces at a point further north than heretofore supposed. This is contradicated by the report that the Germans are west of Fornes. Though there was a sporadic recur rence of the anti-German rioting in parts of London early this morning, police protection in such places has been increased and no serious out breaks were reported during the fore noon in the city but Selffron-Waldron, In Essex, an English lawyer's house, was attacked and the windows, smash ed because it was said he had been harboring two Germans. In the con tinuation of the rioting at Deptford last night a German grain dealer's house and store were wrecked and then fired. In the eastern war area the great battle of Poland appears progressing in favor of the Russians who claim to have checked decisively the German forces in their attempt to cross the Vistula. Around Praemysl the Austrians claim to have killed and wounded 40,- 000 Russians and also to have crossed the Carpathians but on the other hand the Russians repulsed an Austrian at tempt to cross the river. That the Austrians are meeting with vigorous opposition is admitted in the latest Vienna dispatch which says "our troops are advancing against a for tress." ROCK SAVED THEM. Topcka Motor Party Narrowly Escaped Injury Near St. Marys. A serious accident was narrowly averted Sunday afternoon near St. Marys when a big touring car driven by John Marshall of Topeka was stopped from sliding into a ditch when the wheels caught on a stone protrud ing from the roadside.' Marshall was going eastward and at tempted to pass a car going in the opposite direction on a narrow strip of road a short distance east of St. Marys. The car- slipped into the ditch and one of the rear wheels caught on a large rock which possibly kept It from turn ing turtle. The car was not damaged and the I occupants were uninjured. a cinurs HAND German Officer Carried Fearful Trophy In Knapsack. French Soldier Tells of inored Auto Fighting. Ar- Ostend, Oct. 19. A volunteer driver of one of the armored motor cars of the allied' army a man of means and position who gave up his borne to aid the cause he had chosen tdld 'today the story' of his experience' In the motor raids upon the German forces. "I tried to enlist as) an aviator," ho said.' "I was willing to take any risks to light against the Germans. But they put me in charge of one of the automobiles those that carry three machine guns each and have been do ing wonderful work. "In two weeks I have driven that machine more than 2,000 miles." "Atrocities? Oh, s we have seen things to crush our hearts. A Ger man officer cams to us begging for food. We found in his knapsack the hand of a little child. Why he car ried the fearful trophy we could not Imagine. In ten minutes after we found it our lieutenant had shot him to death. At another time we found the body of an old woman bearing the sabre wounds of German soldiers. I have seen the bodies of young girls by the road side; the remains of boys impaled on fences. "We surprised an orgy of Germans in a village. They were fn a shed, or open stable, on the village street. We opened fire, but we could do noth ing for the women who were the vic tims. "We have eight men In each of the armored cars, including the driver and the man who sits beside blm to take his place in case he is hit. We usually start at 2 o'clock In the morning and look for the enemy. When we find him, no matter in what force, we dash straight on, with all three guns going, taking our chances of life and death and getting back." (I. S. Ill BAD SHAPE. Continued from Page One. say that they have information to in dicate the views of President Wilson on increase in either army and navy, or war and navy armament. Germany Could Land. While the war chiefs are forbidden by the president's explicit order to publicly discuss the war in any phase they did not hesitate privately to say that Representative Gardner had ex actly and squarely sized the situation up. One of the admirals, a .member of the general board of which Admir al Dewey is chairman, ventured the opinion that Germany, notwithstand ing our fairly good fleet, could land an army on the United States shores. He recalled the fact that for a num ber of years persistently the recom mendations of Admiral Dewey have either been slaughtered In congress or ignored to such an extent as to make the addition to the navy rather a matter of expense than increased ef ficiency. In his startling speech Mr: Gardner was backed up with data from Gen eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff; Admiral Dewey, the report of Gen eral William Crosier, chief of ord nance of the army; Admiral Twining, who was until the present administra tion chief of the ordnance of the navy department, and the detailed reports 1 of which all the higher chiefs ex I pressed their opinions to congress. It was learned Sunday that there wilt be a demand on the new congress early in December for an appropriation of 9300.000 for powder as starter- to in- creasing the army stores.' Also there will be positive recommendations by vne experts of the navy for submarines and probably of a new type. Rush work will soon be ordered to utilise the $260,000 appropriatiated some time ago for the increase of the torpedo plant at Newport, t Although the en- BRYAN IN KANSAS TODAY largement of this plant has been Im perative for the past six years, the money was made available only on the first of last July. An effort effort will be made to complete the requisite num ber of 20-inch torpedoes for the new naval construction. All of the older type of the vessels have 18-inch torpedoes and the stock will not be available for the new ves sels. It was stated that there are in sight twenty-six new torpedo tubes that had to be provided.' The means the United States has' of furnishing this material Is the private concern at Brooklyn and the torpedo plant at New port. Navy IflnMstment FulL The limit by hvwoxjf enlistments in the navy is l,500nan.' Officers who have the record say that the limit has been enlisted. They say that it will require a strong pull to wake up higher authorities to tell congress flatly that congress must authorize more men and not have a condition by which ten or eleven battleships re lying up with probably not more than one-third of a crew on board. These officials say that the United States haa about' 60,000 marines which, however, would make a very thin line to protect or to operate from the porta on the Pacific, the terminals of the Panama canal, the gulf and the At lantic. The navy is counting on some edify ing reports and recommendations' from Amiral Dewey's board. Parts of the work of this board for this year on which Secretary of the Navy Daniels is to base his annual report' are already at the navy department. The main points of the recommenda tions, they say, 'are that congress should authorize four battleships of the highest modern efficiency and type, 33 per cent increase at least in submarines equipped in the light of recent invitations abroad and a large number of gunboats and tropedo boats. The ordnance department of the navy will make recommendations as to powder and projectiles which are woe fully lacking. Army Is Busy. Oh the army side they say they are moving rapidly but secretly as to the defenses of Hawaii, the canal and the forts which protect Manila harbor. What should have been done in the way of fortifying these olaces with the new 14-inch army guns have been Impressed only recently on the gov ernment by the joint army and navy board. It was intended a year ago to have the 14 -inch and the 16 -inch guns from Sandy Hook actually at the canal, but all that can be obtained now is that probably Hawaii, the Phil ippines and. the canal- will be in good shape by early spring. It is under stood that the implacement for guns have been ready for some time at Panama It is not expected that there 'will be any recommendations by the secre tary of .war for an increase In the standing army of the United States. Scarcely 50,000 of the army are on duty in the United States. For an in crease in the army to 750,000, which experts consider reasonable enough, thero would be necessary the hasty manufacture of some 800 to 1,000 field guns and the manufacture is slow. A fine point was put on the possi bility of manufacture of emergency material here by an admiral who said that Germany could build a subma rine in six months and send it in sec tions to some point on the northern coast of Europe. He estimated that it would take IS months to build a submarine in the United States. USES GUII FOR CLUB. Bandit Robs Santa Fe Operator at HutcbJnsom This Morning. Hutchinson.- Kan., Oct '19. A masked bandit knocked A. L. Rogers, night operator of the Santa Fe at Lewis, over the head with a gun at four o'clock this morning and took 880. A freiirht rf-pw. half an hour later, finding the red signal out broke open the depot door and restored the young man to consciousness. The bandit appeared out of the dark and asked Rogers to unlock the safe. When Rogers refused the gun was used as a club. The robber J caped and there la no clue. NEED THE MONEY. tContlnued from Page One.) throughout the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Mr. Willard called attention to the decision of the commission in the for mer case, wherein It was stated that "the net operating income of tbe railroads in official classification terri tory is smaller than is demanded in the Interest of both the money pub lic and the railroads," and to the fact that the railroads had already taken action to secure additional revenues innragn; various advances ana cnanges of practice. "The measures of relief proposed by the commission will hot, in our opinion, adequately meet the situation," be added. Big Cut in Revenues. "The annual statements of all the railroads involved In the proceeding combined, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, show roundly that the total operating revenues during that year were approximately 953,000,000 less than during the previous year. while the operating expenses during the same period were approximately S18.000.000 greater. "The net operating income of these companies for the same period amounted to 9258,000,000 or approx imately 977,700,000 less than was earned during the previous year and equal to but 3.98 per cent upon the property investment, a tower return than was shown at any time in fifteen years. "The income applicable to Interest, dividends and surplus during the fiscal year just closed was 9264.900,000 or 4.02 per cent upon the total capital obliga tion, this return also being lower than any other In fifteen years. "A war such as that now raging causer great and immediate disturbance to industry, commerce and finance. It caused contraction of credit and great restriction if not the actual stoppage of International trade as well as serious disturbance to domestic, and as we have seen, it has thrown the security markets of the world, first into panic and then into suspension of operations. Big Debts to Meet, "Insofar as the war and the conse quences tend to change the conditions surrounding the enlistment of new cap ital they tend to change the funda mental relation between railroad and shipper for the cost of capital is one of the most important elements of the cost of transportation. It is known that the railroads of the United States have over S520.000.000 of outstanding obligations which will mature and must be met within the next 12 months alone. It was shown in the original record in this case that the railroads in official claasi- f Ication territory only, had spent ap proximately 3200,000,000 per annumn upon their properties for Improvement and extensions during the last ten years period and it will be necessary-to con tinue such expenditures if the roads are to maintain their standard of ser vice and provide for the growing needs of- the future "Further, as nearly as can be ascer tained, there are more than three bil lion par value of American railroad se curities held abroad as investments. The demands for cash in Europe grow out of the present situation will doubt less result in large selling of such se curities when the market or -stock ex changes are again opened and the possi ble effect of such selling upon railroad credit and related subjects is causing much concern. "With all this in mind it will readily be seen that the available supply, of and probable demand for new capital as well as the interest rates thereon are matters of great importance not only to the railroads but also to those who de pend upon them for transportation."'

As with the Junction city ream, wmra by the local aggregation two weeks ago. the visitors mane reyemcu buu m in ward passes, but failed to score. The passes were a feature of the game and the light Riley county team was adept in using them. The first touchdown was made byprues ner, right halfback, who plunged across the line early In the quarter. Young made the second touchdown by running 20 yards after he had intercepted a rorward pass of the Manhattan players. In the third quarter, both teams fought hard, the Manhattan eleven coming dangerously mar the Topeka goal. The locals, toward the end of the period, started marching down the field. It was in the final quarter when most of Topeka's scores were made. Kennedy and Nettels, tackles, made consistent Fains on swings. Manhattan fumbled twice, R.

Had it not been for the fumbles and the ill luck of the first quarter which gave the visitors the initial touchdown, it is probable the score would have been closer. The super-aggressiveness of Cameron, the Nebraska center, was not pleasing to any of the Manhattan fans and there were times when it seemed that he courted penalties. However, the game Potter and Chamberlain Were was generally clean and Nebraska's mi e victory was due to her superior team- otlenm 8 Big Stars. work, weight and the superb interfer- 1 ence she uncorked whenever interfer- ence was needed.

Bennie Owen's Oklahoma Braves tagged a 13 to 0 defeat to the tails of the Missouri Tigers in Saturday afternoon's game here. Battling with all their strength in the heat and dust the Tigers wore themselves out in the first quarter.and only, once did they rally In the fourth period, oniy to be' battered down by the invincible Oklahomans. "Trim" Capshaw, the clever little Sooner backfielder, gained most of the ground for the Sooners by line plunging anl end runs. Fifteen for ward passes netted only 61 yards for Oklahoma, while twelve passes net ted Missouri fifty yards. Both elevens spent much energy breaking up passes. Long runs through broken fields featured the playing of both elevens. Tale 28; Notre Dame 0. New Haven, Conn., Oct 19. For the first time since the season of 1912 Notre Dame's colors went down in defeat here Saturday when Tale won 28 to 0. Notre Dame's forward pass ing was brilliant but for some reason It was discarded In favor of old style football at critical moments and the Western Lads' line bucks were smoth ered by the Blues. In the first quarter Notre Dame out played Tale and in the second ad vanced the ball to Old Eli's 3 yard line, but they were unable to score. Legore's forward pass to Higgenbot ham for 20 yards netted one of the touchdowns and Knowles made a spec tacular 32 yard run for another. The other touchdowns were made by Le gore and Walte.

Tis Different Game Now Tond Hardly Know It.' (By Harve Parsons.) When the late Mr. R. Van Winkle returned to his native village after his long rest the brand, of politics talked around the grocery store porch sound ed strange to him. a change bad tak en place during bis absence. Saturday afternoon a newspaper man went-out to see the Topek AggivlUe football game on Washburn field. It was the first football game he had witnessed in nearly a dosen years, and a -change had taken place during his absence. Even the field is different. A dosen years ago the bleachers were along the west end of the grounds; the north fence was along the road, and the field ran north and south. So, for that mat ter, did certain husky outlaws, so cov ered with armor that they were com pletely disguised, and were recognis able only by their actions. Carriages instead of autos lined the open side of the field. Although the rules have been chang ed considerably, the visitor gathered that the Topeka boys trimmed the Manhattanites by a large and enthu siastic score, but was unable to say just how it was done. The two squads of youngsters looked not like the foot ball players of old. There was but one pair of shin guards among the 22 play ers, and not one of the rubber mus cles so necessary In an old fashioned game. There muzles were not only necessary as a protection to the nose of the wearer, but thev were an ad vantage to the adversary. The wear er couian i Dtte so deep while holding a mouthful of soft rubber. In ye good old days .when. Sam La kin, Fat Clark, Doc Jimmie Stewart, Ham Steele. Red Cunningham and other college sports disported on that field, the rules were very, very differ ent It was considered bad form to paste an opponent with brass knucks, but about everything else was good. It was verboten to bite one on the calf of the leg, because veal was not on the training table menu, and too much white meat was not good for a player. But the system called for carnage and mayhem. Two of the heaviest players were detailed to furnish the anaes thetic, while certain other members performed the operation. At times, a game reminded one of a can of angle worms rolling down the field, spilling an occasional specimen until It closed with a rough-and-tumble between the two survivors. Another stunt was the "pyramid formation," wherein one player jumped on the ball and the oth er 21 Jumped on him. Sometimes, when the players were all large, heavy persons, the pile was so high the top man could easily see over the fence. At times the referee would use a can opener to dig Into the pile and find out which player had the bait t Those were days of foreboding among best girls, mothers, wives and children of the players. At times some little tot might be seen weeping over the perils of Grandpa, who took a course of concertina music, three lessons a month, at Washburn and played on the team. And It Is different now.' It is. a com paratively safe game, as attested by the absence of the medical corps and the armor. As an exercise. It seems to be sufficient The boys get' up a sweat and those of the audience who demand gore for their price of admission, may view an occasional cut lip or bloody nose. The Saturday game between the high school boys, was one-sided. The Aggtetown kids were smaller and younger, but they were game as a cage full of weasels. Even when they were snowed under and the time limit pre cluded any chance to win, they con tinued to offer the best they had in stock. A stunt known as the "forward pass," which was evidently swiped from the rules of basketball, was their best hold, and they worked it right reg ularly for gains. They were defeated by a score of 34 to 0, but they kept the yellowlegs busy from midaf ternoon to quitting time, and in their earnestness; made places for several Topeka substi tutes to get into the game. Had the up river team weighed about a hundred pounds more, the score might have been different The fall guy of a high school is the cheer leader. The humorists in the stand neglect to heed his requests for noise, or get off some other brand of disorder instead of the formula he calls for. HASKELL GRAYS WTV.

Be appreciative of Holland. In the first ten days of the present month that hungry little country took a mil lion bushels of American wheat and half that much' corn. Holland's popula tion has so increased with refugees that It. makes a very active market for American grain. The old rule that federal office-holders seldom die and never resign has been broken by George Powers of Rome, Pa., who voluntarily loosened his grip on a postoffice after only 17 years tenure in office. But nothing like that had happened before in his section since the year of the big freeze. The Chicago municipal markets com mission has recemmended the general use of motor trucks to avert further increase of the h. c. of 1. Doubtless the commission has definite reasons for the suggestion but it should give re cipes for serving. How would barbe cued motor truck with gasoline dress ing do as a starter? With unerring scent the Mexican pa triot goes after the available cash. The provisional government has seized the Mexico City tramway system, which, by the way, is as modern and efficient a street railway as is to be found any where, so that the shower of centavos from that source will Jingle in the gov ernment till. Under the depreciation of currency the tramways company has been hauling passengers at a fare equivalent to about 1 and a half cents in real money. Whether you own or operate a busi ness, or just pound a typewriter or an anvil in some other man's employ, if you are a bit interested in Topeka, you ought to belong to the Commercial Club and make an effort to take a part In its affairs. The Commercial Club is what its members make it; it is a measure of Topeka's ability to "pull together," and so ought to be understood bySvery citizen of the city. It mnst .be "made the one big "get acquainted'' organisa tion for every person who hopes to amount to anything in this town. It seems a venturesome thing, for Mexico to adopt a commission form of government at this time. American observers are more and more Inclined, as the years of revolutionary disturb ance roll by, to believe with old Porfirio Diaz that the one-man managerial plan is best adapted to the republic's needs. It seems not unlikely that the Mexican idea of a true commission form of gov ernment is one in which the commis sions, earned by the administrators of the country's affairs, are more evenly divided than under the dictatorship. One Is inclined to wait and look for a disagreement over the division. NAVIGATING THE CANAL Regulations for the operation and navigation of the canal have been pro mulgated, and cover in every detail the behavior of all ships from the moment they arrive in port at either terminus until they leave the zone of control on the opposite side of the Isthmus says Popular Mechanics. It continues: After entering one of the- terminal ports no vessel is permitted to leave, either for the canal or the ocean, without being given authority to do so. It is within the power of the officials to deny pas sage to any vessel, or hold it for inves tigation. If its Sanitary condition .Is questionable or. ihe status of its cargo, hull, or machinery such as might en danger or obstruct the canal.- Craft carrying explosives or inflammable oils are expected to seek permission for pas sage before leaving porta of departure, and such ships, while crossing the isth mus, must display red flags by day and red lights at night. Bach ship must take on a government pilot to direct the course through the canal. Respon sibility for accidents resulting from, a refusal to follow his advice is placed upon a ship's owners or representa tives. All radio apparatus is entirely under control of the canal authorities throughout the voyage. It may he used for canal business, must have an oper ator in attendance constantly, and must not Interfere with the canal radio sta tions. Excepting while plying the wa ters of Gatun Lake, ships may not pro ceed faster than 6.9 miles an hour. Unnecessary whistling, the discharge of firearms, "cross signaling," the gen eral use of searchlights, the pollution of the canal waters, and the failure to disclose anything pertaining to a ship or its cargo which might cause trouble to either it or the canal, are prohibited. A steam vessel proceeding under sail carries a black ball 2 feet in diameter, forward; and seagoing suction dredges, when under way and dredging, carry two black balls of the same size. UP TO U. S., US. Speaking in a large way, the principal Job ahead of the United States just now is to save money, declares Collier's. For 125 years we have borrowed money from Europe. We can't do so any longer. Europe isn't going to have any money to lend. It isn't going to have enough for its own current needs. When we wanted to build the Rock Island railroad we borrowed the money from Holland. When we wanted to de velop the Anaconda mine we borrowed from the same place. When we wanted to improve the St. Louis San Fran cisco we borrowed from France. For other railroads and other improvements we borrowed from England and from Germany. That's all in the past. We can't borrow any more. For the future, if we want to build more railroads or electric plants, or develop more mines, we must supply the money from our own pockets or go without. The one great necessity put upon us by the war, the biggest economic need in America today, is to save money. 'In the past we have not been savers. This table tells the story.

Since Kankakee county, Illinois, led the way two years ago in the organi zation of a commercial and agricul tural club, fourteen counties of that state have adopted the "county agent" plan with apparently entire satisfaction in the results. The claim made for Kankakee county is that under the direction of its farm su pervisor, who is paid a salary of $3,500 a year, an increase of $10 per acre has been added to the wealth of the county, which comprises rather more than 500,000 acres. This increase is counted largely in new silos and in two drainage sys tems which have made available 5,000 acres of land that lay Idle; but much of It is represented by actual increase in the productivity of the soil under intelligent management. The opinion is expressed by Henry M. Hyde, writing in the Chicago Trib une, that the Kankakee farm super visor is well worth the salary paid him. Relating the action of De Kalb county In similar directions Mr.. Hyde says: "De Kalb county, of which Syca more is the county seat, has set an example in self-reliance which is in spiring. Refusing financial assistance of any kind, its County club has raised $10,000 a year for four years and has employed W. G. Echhardt. also a for mer professor in the State Agricul tural college, as director. Director Eckhardt, who is paid $4,000 a year. Is supplied with a fine suite of offices and with Competent assistants and is devoting most of his energy at pres ent to the Improvement of soil fertil ity in the county by the use of lime, alfalfa and other legumes, and arti ficial fertilizers. "The money for the support of the director and all the activities of the club is raised by a direct appropria tion of $5,000 by the county commis- sionera any cout.ty i- the state has legal authority to do the same thing and by yearly pledges. .These pledges are paid by banks, manufacturers, farmers, railroads and business men, all of whom see that their own selfish interests are tied up in the prosperity of the farmer. ."Altogether,' there are now 315 counties in the United States which have organized and employed farm directors. "Back of this movement are so many great and powerful interests and organizations that the danger seems to be rather that the farmers of the country will be fairly swamped with advice and driven- frantic with offers -of assistance.-' "What seems to be more needed than anything' else at persent is some central headquarters through which all the suggestions for farm improve ments can pass and which can also keep a check on the large amounts of money which are being spent. Other wise the present duplication of ma chinery and of expense seems likely to continue and increase." Journal Entries Any mother expects, her Hon .t6 pan out 98 per cent better than his father.

To an old grouch with an ossified liver, nothing is quite so foolish as normal youth. It's all right to pick an adversary your size, but the trouble with the average is1 the leaning toward over estimation of size. When a man brags: "A cross word has never passed between myself and my wife," you have three guesses: He is a be-dashed prevaricator; he is a dirty bully who has his wife "buffaloed," or he is a henpecked simp who follows the assertion with the self-laudatory aside: "Ain't I the patient cuss?" f It may be observed, by a close ob server, that when a man is always mak ing new friends, it is because his old friends are onto him.

They Who Wait. Sickness and suffering are cruel things to endure. But sometimes I wonder If they who undergo them really havj the harder part. They also suffer, who only stand and wait. A woman in our town has been tak en to the hospital for a serious opera tion. Every .one says "Poor Leslie." Now that doubtless Is quite right. She will suffer pain and weakness, she will approach the gates of death. And yet it is not Leslie; It is her sister Mar- garet who has my deepests ympathy. Leslie, i -ho is"the younger of the two girls, has always been delicate, and has had one illness after another. Margaret is never sick. She has a very remunerative, and correspond ingly strenuous position, as a private secretary, and she has never missed a day in her eight years of service. Leslie- Bjppoid to- keep house, which she undoubtedly does as well as her delicate health-will permit, but there are many times when the care of the house, from fhich a hard work ing business woman should be abso lutely free, devolves upon Margaret's shoulders. Sometimes, too, Margaret has to be nurse, as well as .business woman and housekeeper, and half of the night between two strenuous days at the office, willibe spent waiting on her suffering sister. Did you ever try to keep your mind on business prob lems that demand the most acute con centration, when you were almost sick from lack of sleep? Then perhaps you will wonder with me, whether Leselie's night sufferings are not equaled by Margaret's the next day. Sickness must have money. Marga ret makes a good salary, but she has none of the luxuries 'which to the other business women of her class, are compensation for jthe pleasures of do mestic life. She cannot even save for her old agj. s And last, but by no means least, Margaret loves Leslie very deeply. And that means she suffers the con stant ache of anxiety. Leslie is at the hospital, in an at mosphere of care and solicitude, flow ers and tenderness. Margaret stays at home, lonely and anxious. Leslie faces death, to be sure, but Margaret faces life. Understand I do not grudge the Leslies of this world their need- of sympathy. But I demand" more for the Margarets. There are some compensations for illness. It gives the invalid the center of the st' -e; it surrounds him with an atmosphere of tenderness and so licitude; It gives him the right to be tyrannical without fear of reproach; If he be sufficiently 111, he acquires a sort of halo. The friendship of his friends grows infinitely more tender and expansive, the enmity of his ene mies cannot come 'nigh him. But tell me, where are the compen sations of having some one -whom you love sick? They do not exist. And that is why when I go to a home where there is illness, I try to remember to give plenty of sympathy and attention to those who only stand and wait. QUAKER BIEDITATIONS.

The Evening Story Irma Interferes. (By Molly McMaster.) In his heart John Craig longed for the day when the footlights would cease to be an attraction for his wife. He was too big and too broad in his love for her to demand that she leave the stage and live a quiet, domestic life at his side. He had J fallen in love with her as a star, wooed and won her as such and now as wife and mother Sybel Craig still shone, a resplendent star in the the- atrical firmament. John Junior was a scant' three months old when his mother began rehearsal for her new -play. It had been a shock to Craig. He had somehow counted on the arrival of John Junior as a barrier to Sybel's prolonged stage career, but she had laughingly told him that she could act the better now that she had a son to be proud of her. "You would grow frightfully tired of me, anyway.", she added, "if I was about the house all evening." "I grow tired of not having you, dear," Craig had told her, and was not quite aware of the extent of his weariness. He only knew that his evenings alone in the house while his wife was playing to crowded theaters were beginning to bore him. John Junior was four months old when the -new nurse arrived. She. Irma Newton, was lovely to look upon, beautiful as to character and en dowed with womanly charm that en tered the appreciation of John Junior, his mother and his father. She was one of those fortunate women who understand all human wants and woes and administer according to needs. John Junior loved her instinctively. Sybel loved her because she possessed all the domestic and sterling virtues that Sybel herself lacked. And John Craig? But he did not know that he loved her. He only knew that even ings of complete boredom were a thing of the past and that his wife's career was no longer so severe a thorn prick in his happiness. Had Sybel loved her husband in a more unselfish way she would have seen that Irma's position in the household was nothing but tempta tion flung in the path of two per sons. But Sybel felt secure in her husband's love, and it did not for a second occur to her that he would turn his affections in another direc tion. "There must be some way out of it," she told herself over and over again. "John Craig is far too fine a man to wreck his matrimonial craft on the rocks, and his wife Is too thoughtless to put out a beacon light for him. I wonder I wonder how I can save him." Irma felt that Sybel Craig was more to blame than her husband, and that he would have re mained faithful in his love had she made the very slightest attempt to hold him. "She must make that attempt," Irma told herself. "I shall tell her exactly how matters stand." It was a brave decision to come to. but Irma was no coward. Besides she realized that should Sybel Craig display the same pride in her personal life as she did in her public life she would strive to maintain her position as John Craig's wife. She would not, Irma reasoned, like to see herself as a deserted woman. Sybel was having her 11 o'clock cup of tea when Irma knocked at her door. It was not an unusual visit, so that Mrs. Craig was not surprised. They were wont to talk things over at that hour of the morning. "Mrs. Craig," began Irma without preamble, "your husband Imagines himself in love with me, and I want you to help me to prevent him telling me so." Sybel went a shade pale. She was not, however, theatrical in her private life and her answer was unexpectedly calm. "Why do you say he imagines him self in love with you?" "Because he is not really he only thinks so. He and I have been thrown together continually and he is a man essentially fond of feminine compan ionship. He has not had that from you. It is most natural, then, that bjfs nature should respond to the presence of any woman sensitive to his per sonality." Sybel Craig gazed in a more or less vacant way at Irma. Perhaps' for the first time in her life she was looking at a situation from another person's point of view. "You are not so selfish as you' are thoughtless," Irma went on as if fol lowing out her own thoughts. "Your husband loves you and wants you at his "side and you have never stopped to realize that you have never con sidered his desires only youd own. In this life we really should try to make others happy rather than our selves don't you think so?" Irma asked the question in a perfectly im personal way. She was trying desper ately to retain the atmosphere of un emotional reasoning. She hated scenes of any kind and felt a respect for Sybel beyond, that which she had known because Mrs. Craig had ac cepted the situation calmly. Craig, however, was only human. He had married because he wanted a home nad a wife to tread jthe path of life beside him. He had regretted that love had come to him across the footlights, but she would love htm more than her audience and applause. The time seemed long in coming. In the meantime Irma Newton entered the Craig household and discontent turned slowly into a most delightful feeling of peace. When Irma had been in the house six weeks Craig knew that his con tentment would vanish If she were to leave. -He knew also that his wife's career was seldom in his mind and that his evenings were not marred by her absence. Neither did the fact that Irma was bending over John Junior when it should have been Sybel, an noy him. In fact Craig found Him self appreciating the light on golden hair and finding it more lovely than on black. Sybel's hair was raven black. Also he knew that he was beginning to study Irma's eyes for an expression he wanted to see there. Thn fritUAtinn was an rnmnltlv 1 harmonious for all concerned that It was not until the serpent was already in the grass beneath their feet that Irma awoke to the full significance of it, She had been sitting beside the fire with John Junior in her arms when Craig had come quietly into the room. He had not spoken, but his eyes had revealed the whole truth even as if his lips had spoken it. irma knew then that the serpent had stirred. She wondered how long the serpent had been there and how deeply Craig's happiness was affected. She was more grieved than stunned when the truth dawned on her. Irma .spent a night in grave thought. She knew that Craig could not long remain silent I and she shrank from the scene that must assuredly follow. She recoiled j from the knowledge that she had rob- j bed another woman of her husband's love, innocent though her own action In the matter had been. I "I think," Sybel said from out of her depths of thought, "that I have been vaguely conscious of all this. My hus band is very dear to me. I could never love any man as I do him. Perhaps had he been less lenient with me and de manded that I quit the stage I would have done so and been more than happy, but my duty has never been pointed out to me and I hve not been wise enough to see It for myself." Her head went for ward on ner arms, but she old not weep; she was only trying to shut out the pic ture of John Junior's father being happy with another woman. "Tour understudy" suggested Irma softly. "Could she not take your play from tonight, so that you may stay at home and teach your husband the art of loving you all over again? I will stay with you for a time, so that he will never suspect this little chat we have had. Arter that. If you like, l will leave you to your happiness." irma arose and supped quicmy from tne room. She realised that Sybel would want tune to think. It would not be an easy matter to give up stardom for do mestic life, yet irma felt that sybel would not hesitate. It was not until after dinner that John Craig was asked a very simple question. "John," Sybel asked in a voice that strove to keep the fear from showing, "would vou consider me fanciful if I chose to ault the stage from tonight on ana just stay at neme to maxe you ana John Junior nappy? She did not realise until' she saw the glad light in his eyes how fearful she had been of his answer. (Copyrignt, 191, Dy the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.

"Ask your mother; she knows all the neighbors' business." Buffalo Express, by PRINCESS GOOD AND THE GREEN DWARF Part I. Once upon a time there lived a princess whom everybody loved, and the people called her Princess Good. The mother of the little Princess Good had died when the princess was a little' baby, and the king had mar ried again, and this queen had a daughter whom she wanted to be heir. to tne King s lanas, ana sne aia not love the Princess Good. The daughter of the queen was not kind and gentle as the Princess Good, and the people did not love her, so they named her Princess Bad. which made the queen very angry, and she tried to think of a way to be rid. of Princess Good forever. One day she was riding, along through a forest, where she saw an old witch sitting in front of her cave. The queen dismounted and told her attendants to leave her alone with the witch. Then she promised her a bag of gold if she would tell her how she could be lid of the Princess Good.

So that night when everybody in the palace was asleep the queen stole out and went to the forest, where she found the queer-looking green dwarf and the old witch with him, for she had come for the bag of gold the queen had promised. "And what shall I give to yon if you succeed in carrying off the prin cess?" asked the queen of the green dwarf. "I will have the princess," said the dwarf, "and that will repay me for my trouble, but if your majesty wishes to show me some favor I shall take mmt. IT Kansas Cc&zzzrd THE' OLD MAN.

AUTUMN WALKING. Whether one goes with a group, as with the "Wanderlusters" who have lately been exploring all parts of this region, or alone for the sake of uncon trolled freedom of movement, there la no more delightful experience at this season of the year than a country walk, especially under no time pressure to cause haste. The air is of a delightful quality now, with an invigorating qual ity that carries the first hint of the coming of fall. The trees have just begun to turn to the rich glow of au tumn, and refresh the eye with their full foliage. The fields are yellowed with the richness of perfected growths. The summer's work is drawing to a close, and an air of leisure spreads -throughout the country that is delight ful to contemplate. To walk at such a time, to take no note of time, to penetrate into places where the path leads to mystery, to come unexpectedly upon habitations or into wilderness, this is to find the true pleasure of the country. There is charm everywhere, even when the surround-, ings have been, made unlovely for a lit tle space by the hand of man. For beyond these scars that the assembling of humanity has caused are always restful places', and in this region nearly every half-mile brings a' spread of view that rewards the walker for the weari ness pf limb that is the price he pays for his enjoyment. On such an expedition all standards of importance fall and the merest trifles become significant, the peculiar angle of a wind-blown tree, the scampering of a squirrel along a fence -rail, the high flight of a motionless buzzard in the blue deeps of the sky, the activity of a colony of ants in the path pulling a dead insect into the cavernous home for winter food, the change and play of clouds, the colors of the clay banks alongside of the deep-cut roads. There is no end to the variations of the items that hold the' eye and mind when the walker puts aside all thought of the working world and begins a fresh rela tionship with Nature. He is not seek ing' knowledge. There is nothing of value in anything he finds or sees. But there is a genuine worth in all this ob servation, for it rests the mind and plays an ultimately important part in the adjustment of ideas regarding the -relationship of life-Washington Star.

The fairies had woven the chain and the king had charged her never to part with it If she valued their hap piness. "Oh! if your majesty does not think the deed I am to do is worth the little chain I will have nothing," said the dwarf. Of course, the queen could not re fuse. One day the Princess Good was riding up a path which led to a beau tiful castle. When she came to the door it was opened by the green dwarf, and in stead of being frightened when she saw this strange creature the prin cess thought he was funny looking; and felt sorry for him because he was' deformed. The green dwarf asked the princess to come in and have some refresh ments.

SEE CF XMVm THERE How Does He Best With Ger man Guns at Paris Gates! Sidelights on War by William G. Shepherd. (By William O. Shepherd.) Parts. Sept. 29. (By mall to New York). A little man all bundled up in coats drove up this very street one De cember day a centruy ago and rushing Into a building i" this very park, tore through the halls, dashed into a cer tain room and there threw his arms around the Empress of France. He was Napoleon, back from Moscow, where the Russians had all but shattered him. Two days later he told France the story and France shuddered at the name of Russia. But today when I saw this street, France was thrilling with hope at the thought that somewhere, in the fog of war, huge Cossacks from Moscow itself, perhaps, were coming, by land or by sea, with their wild horses, to save this street and palace and the great art galleries and Paris ana France itself from the Germans. The street was almost deserted,. The great Tuilleries gardens lay in the golden autumn sunshine as empty and silent as if they had been farms in Iowa, after crop time, instead of the most famous park in the world The Louvre art gallery was locked I don't know whether its art treasures remain there or not. A soldier at one door told me he didn't know either. The wonderful pieces of marble ana painting which Napoleon himself when Master of Europe seised as he pleased and took off as war booty to his great and powerful Paris, have been hidden away perhaps are now or will be when the sound of German guns which I heard booming to the northwest this afternoon grows louder. Louvre 'Mid Cannons' Roar. Here's the great building right here; the great Louvre gallery. Stand and look at it this September afternoon and then listen to the cannon, not many miles away, and you'll have a thrill you'll never forget. We cross the river. I want to see Napoleon's tomb. We pass great railroad stations that are closed; somewhere the steel lines that run out from them have been cut by the Germans and the trains "are 'not running. Here we are at the Invalldes, the old soldiers' home. I can't go In. I can't even go near the old cannons, trophies which Napoleon brought from the ends of Europe. I wonder if all the tattered flags seized in other days from other armies by armies of France are still in their glass cases In the Invalldes or have they been hidden, ignominously also with the trophies of art? Come around behind this old Inva lides building topped by a dome. Sol-, diers stop you. Under that dome rests a great stone sarcophagus. I know It well because I have spent hours like every other tourist gaslng at it. I know it stands there under the dome in the center of that stone circle with magic names of "Austerlltz" and "Sedan" worked in marble below It. Shrine of Napoleon. Napoleon lies here. I remember the shrine with the marble Christ watching over- the dead emperor's grave and I remember in all this great building that the word "Napoleon" is chiseled only once and that in small letters under the sentence: "I desire to rest on the banks of the Seine, amid the French people whom I loved so well." How well are you resting this Indian Bummer after noon. Napoleon, with those German cannon sounding at the gates of Paris? Tou may talk to tombs all you please and get no answer. They have only to do with the past, anyhow, and the can non and a German aeroplane flying overhead reminded me of the present "Where are the French airmen?" I asked ah officer of the guard. "Kverybody believes they're all dead," he said. "The Times said the other day that when the world knows, at the proper time, the story of our airmen, it will thrill and weep." As I said goodby to the officer he turned away to continue his job of guarding the tomb of Napoleon. The ElfTel tower, 1,000 feet high, loom ed before us in the evening dusk. "The Germans will cut that in two with their shells," said the cab driver. "That's the wireless station. What a fall it will be?" For the past few nights the armies of Europe have been sleeping and march ing and killing under a full autumn moon. There has been surprisingly little rain in Europe and even London Don't it make a fellow feel like sin to have to make ex cuses for a bum old. box of a watch.

Great fingers of light from the Eiffel tower scoured the skies for Zeppelins and one of them hitting the tall build ing across the street, lighted my room in regular throbs and made it hard tc sleep. It was ten In the evening In Paris, the play place of the world, and I couldn't see a soul In the streets or even hear a footfall. But early In the morning the boom of the cannon started again. r.'EN FOR BAIT. German Submarine Used Sur vlvors to Lure More Victims. Experience Makes British Wise They Befuse to Bite. London, Oct. 1$. While 48 surviv ors of the British cruiser Hawke were drifting in a small boat for five hours, the German submarine that had sunk the Hawke stood off a little way, close ly watching them through her perls cope. These 48 English seamen were used as a bait to lure any British war ship to a fate similar to that of the tiawke, the submarine watching the bait as a fisherman watches his bob bin. Fortunately, the order of the British admiralty following the sinking of the Aboukir, the Hogue and the Cressy was obeyed and all English vessels kept away, leaving the survivors to what fate held for them, but saving themselves and their men from the fate of the Hawke. As the German submarine watched for the approach of a British war ves sel on an errand of mercy it must have been greatly disappointed when the Norwegian steamship Modesta came into sight and rescued the English sea men. OF Y. M. C. A. Quarter of a Million Swlmns in Kansas Last Tear. A report prepared at the office of the state headquarters of the T. M. C.

Although the senate has smashed the plan of Hoke Smith and 'other southern senators to provide relief for the cotton growers.

His last announcement on the sub ject was that the house would not be able to adopt a conference report on the war tax and adjourn except by the vote of a quorum. Inasmuch as most of the members of the house have gone home, Mr. Henry may force the house to call them back. Mr. Henry said he would sleep in the house if it became necessary for him to remain on constant guard. "The war revenue bill will not pass the house without the presence of a quorum unless it contains legislation taking care of the cotton and tobacco situation in the south or unless there is some independent bill passed through both houses at this time," said Mr. Henry. The' bill which Mr. Henry wants congress to pass is the one agreed upon at a conference of southern con gressmen and provides that the treas ury department shall issue bonds to thet extent aof $250,000,000 and lend money to the cotton growers through the banks of the south.

The Great Armada Was Seen by Ocean Travelers. New Tork, Oct 19. A line of gray transports, led by a pilot boat and two British, cruisers and flanked by an armada, of battleships, cruisers and destroyers; a line so long that it laid the smudge of its smoke against the sky as far as sailors could see to the east and west such was the- fleet that carried Canadian toroopa to England and its convoys, as glimpsed from the decks of the Mln pewaska, 870 miles from the mouth of the Thames, on October 10. Offi cers of the steamer told of the spec tacle on her arrival here today. There were 82 transports in the line and they churned the water of one an other's wakes at distances of half a mile to a mile. Each transport flew the British flag and each was painted the battle color of the sea, steel grey, even to the funnels. Well to the front of the lone line, perhaps five miles in advance, steamed the leader1 apparently sent ahead to make sure the way was clear, for she carried no troops with a cruiser to the starboard and another to port All the transports were converted passen ger liners or merchantmen and some of them were recognized by the Mln newaska's officers, who viewed the maritime procession through glasses. The Lapland and the Zeeland were in the fleet; but all the names had been painted over, so the officers were un certain about the others. The fleet really moved in three lines; the transports between a line of warships on each side. Among the ships were many destroyers sent out from British ports to reinforce the larger war craft as the fleet neared its destination. The day was one of bril liant sunshine and the distance of the Mlnnewaska from the line above five miles. Notwithstanding the fact that the British ensign floated over the liner, a cruiser darted out circled the Mln newaska, and then steamed alongside I till the last transport was a speck on me noriozn. SHOD IS A MENACE. Dr. Guild Points Oat New Cause of European War. Snobbishness is a menace not only to individuals, but to nations, and the church, according' to Dr. Roy B. Guild, who made some unusual statements concerning this failing at the Central Congregational church Sunday morn ing. One of the great drawbacks of the church today is snobbishness. Dr. Guild contended, and snobbishness brought about the European war. In speaking of snobbishness. Dr. Guild said: "If the conversation about the indi vidual does not reveal deep seated egotism maybe you can find the first cousin in snobbishness. It is due to the consciousness of favored exclu- siveness. "We have a terrible illustration of it In the war of today. The ancient sin of Israel rebuked in the message of Jonah was this. They misinter preted the truth that they were a chosen people. God chose them to serve the world and they thought He chose them for the world to serve them. "Nationalism and socalled patriot ism is a perversion of true patriotism into national snobbishness. We are the only people, and no one should op pose our wishes, explains the terrible war today. "Snobbinshness is a limited brother hood and sisterhood and is a subtle menace manifested in religious life. We have the crime of sectarianism which is more of a handicap today in the progress of the true church than much of the sin of the socalled non-Christian society without "The only hope of crushing the militarism of Oermanv la tha mn. sciousness of a common peril which cements tne allies."

THE TOTrrrrft -W----'-v ii in i ft m i t 1 CRISIS IS HEAR Tense Situation PrTil Along i the Nbrttfern Battle Line. Crucial Test of Strength Come at Dunkirk. to GrQ3 STRATEGY IS WAITING For the Capture of This Im -portant Channel Port.' If They Fall It Will Be Im nnrtant to Allies. a By J. W. T. Mason. New York. Oct. 19. Intimation from both Berlin and Paris that the Franco Belgian fighting in approaching a crisis, reflect the extreme tense situation pre vailing in the northern battle area. The lines of the rival forces are so extended that a serious setback along the Belgian border would require a readjustment all along the western front to the center. In the event of a French defeat, the coast ports would become endangered and a wide German sweeping move ment, threatening the rear of the allies' western battle front, would become pos sible. To counteract this, the allies would have to give ground for a considerable distance along their northern formation in order to swing toward the English flannel. This would be the most ef fkacious way of checking the south ern sweep of the Germans. The fortified position at Dunkirk, if captured by the Germans, would pro vide tin admirable channel base for a new southern advance. As long as Dunkirk remains in possession oi tne allies, a German attempt to move south ward on a wide front would be pre carious unless the Maubeuge precedent were followed and Dunkirk invested. That sufficient troops can be spared for thin 1m iirmmfcahle. Waits on Dunkirk. The German offensive strategy along the Belgian boundary, there fore, must wait on the occupation of Dunkirk. If it fails it will register an important French success. The possibility of its capture, after the capitulation oi tne iar stronger en trenched camp at Antwerp is possi bly the immediate cause of Berlin's belief that the French operations are approaching a crisis.

More than 5.000 people heard Bryan in Fort Scott this afternoon. Convention hall was unable to accommodate the crowd and Bryan talked to nearly 3,000 seople at an overflow meeting. It was his first speech in the Second district and he urged the re-election of JoseDh Taaaart to coneress as an en- I dorsement of the Wilson policies. He 1 continued to urge the election of gov- j ernor and state ticket to prevent repud iation of Wilson in Kansas. "Even though your state may have two Democratic senators and a full congressional delegation," said Bryan, "their right to defend the president in Washington will be challenged if Kansas elects a Republican governor."

Standing on Judge Windes' court and glaring at the Jurist. Furlong said: -"This is the most damnable decision ever rendered in an American court. Your Honor may Jail me. if you please." Furlong claimed James T. McDermott. who resigned bis seat in the lower house at Washington as a result of the MulhaU charges and entered the recent primary zor vindication, obtained the nomlna tion by means of fraudulent votes. The official canvass, however, confirmed Mc Dermott's nomination and Furlong sought to bring the case Into court.. A technical mistake in procedure, said to have been made by McDermott'a attor ney, prevented Judge Windes from tak ing cognisance of the case. Furlong's outburst followed. "This was the crookedest primary ever held in Chicago." Furlong continued. "Fifteen thousand persons who voted for me have a right to be heard in this case. Your honor has a right to throw me out of court." "Will you stop." was all the court said, but he said it four times without quench ing the indignation of the defeated candi date. ONE VOTE SHORT.

Utilities Commission Clalnu It Violated Law. CXTiTLED SYTJimE C7FEE Claim That Postal peserted. Hamlltoa Coaaty Judge Helm Demands That In struments Be Restored. In supreme court today, Justice Clark A. Smith issued a mandamus against the Kansas Postal Telegraph Cable company. The application for writ of mandamus was made by Judge A. E. Helm, as attorney for the state public utilities commission, on the grounds that the utility in question had violated a section of the public utilities law by dismantling a tele graph office at Syracuse Hamilton county, Kansas. The public utilities commission has gone to the mat with another powerful corporation. The idea is to discover whether or not the corporation, which does business in Kansas as "The Kan sas Postal Telegraph Cable company," which conforms with the Postal Tele graph's system of incorporation in each state, shall dismantle, ditch and otherwise remove a telegraph office without first consulting the public utiliteis commission. i A state law requires that a telegraph office shall be maintained in the coun ty seat of each county through which the telegraph line runs, but that is not the grounds" upon which Judge. A. E. Helm, attorney for the public utilities commission, has jumped the powerful postal company. He bases his man damus against the telegraph company upon section 319 of the law creating the public utilities commission. This paragraph states' in part that. "Whenever any common carrier or pub lic utility governed by the provisions of this act shall desire to make any change in rate, joint rate, toll charge or classification of schedule' charges, or in any rule or regulation of practice pertaining to the service or rates of any such public utility or common car rier, such public utility or common car rier shall file with the public utilities commission a schedule showing the changes desired to be made and put in force by such utility or common carrier, and such changes shall v be plainly indicated by proper reference marks, et cetera." It Is shown by Judge Helm's man damus that the so-called Kansas Pos tal Telegraph Cable company didn't file anything of the sort. The only thing filed by said P-C company was the wire leading into the Syracuse. Hamilton county telegraph office. The telegraph operator at that point got his orders from headquarters;' his not to reason why, and he didn't. He merely packed the tick-tick instruments In his valise and beat It thence,- on the 29th day of June, 1914. and has not been seen In those parts since that time. First, the residents of Syracuse and Hamilton counties complained to .the public utilities commission of Kansas. The public utilities commission in turn complained to the Kansas office of the divided corporation, and that office conferred with the home office in New York. The New York office had previously looked over the reports of the office and decided that Syracuse; Hamilton county, Kansas, could not afford a telegraph office, because its business didn't pay for the mainten ance of a dot-dash shop in that town. And the public utilities commission of Kansas was so informed. A lot more wasted exchange of let ters ensued, and then Judge Helm went to bat. He desires that the Kan sas Postal Telegraph Cable company put back the Syracuse telegraph serv ice before November 2 or make answer as to why not before November 26. DEATHS ADFUERslLS.

Help Wanted Tomorrow. The St- Joseph Gasette today speaks of "Help Wanted" in part, as follows: There is an abundance of wit, clever lines, attractive dialogue,' and amusing repartee in "Help Wanted." which was presented at the Lyceum last night with the original Chicago cast. The play Is the initial production of first division drama hi St. Joseph this season, and it is well worthy of patronage. s Dealing in a satirical and romantic way with the trials of the poor stenographer, it ac centuates a "punch" in the merry. cheery, and yet didactic manner. This must be expected, for the author. Jack Latt. is a clever fellow any one who knows him personally or has read his writings, will acknowledge this fact. This is the fundamental idea that "Help Wanted" emphasises, and v, the play does It in a way that Is like a su gar coated pill pleasing to take and yet producing effects. There is no stirring dramatic action; the entire point ia brought to light in a mild and amus ing analysis: The cast is excellent, and each char acter t played with skill, naturalness, and ease.

Itching usually stops at once, healing; begins, and the red, raw, scaly or pimply skin soon be comes clear and healthy again. Will Make From Five to Eight Speeches Dally Until Election. Congressman Dudley Doolittle of the Fourth district, has returned from Washington and opened bis campaign for re-election. Less than three hours after Doolittle arrived in his district Saturday afternoon, he was out on the stump. He plans to make from five to eight speeches a day until the close of the campaign. The fight in the Fourth district this year Is not regarded by political ob servers as the difficult situation to forecast as was the contest between Doolittle and Fred 8. Jackson two years ago. Not only is there a three cornered fight In the district this year. but Doolittle has returned from Wash ington with perhaps less grief and sor row to his credit than any member of the Kansas delegation. To be sure Doolittle has occasionally encountered a difficult postoffice situation, but In the main his troubles have been few and political weather forecasters be lieve there are fewer clouds in the Fourth district than in almost any other district presided over by a Demo crat. When Doolittle was nominated In 1912, he was but little known outside his own district. He had served term as county attorney of Chase county, but his acquaintance among political workers was confined to the few men who received their mail at Cottonwood Falls and helped to save! the county ticket. Against Doolittle was Fred S. Jackson who had served j four years as attorney general and was a candidate for his second term as representative from the Fourth Kansas district. It was a red hot fight. Against the shrewd, effective campaign of Jackson. Doolittle's friends relied chiefly upon the work of the Republi can league which had declared war upon the Roosevelt supporters from United States senator to legislative candidates. Doolittle won his fight. His Farm Loan BUI. In the two years that Dooflttle has been in Washington, he has intro duced a farm loan bill that has brought down the wrath of the big loan agencies and the insurance trust. A recent poll of the house, however, showed that Doolittle's bill would like ly receive a majority in an open fight on floor of congress. The measure has perhaps made Doolittle more friends in his district than any measure he has supported. He has voted consist ently with the administration leaders and by avoiding much of the usual postoffice trouble that meets a new member, Doolittle has returned to Kansas with perhaps less trouble to iron out than any Democratic member from this state. Against Doolittle In the fight is Howard F. Martindale, a Madison banker, who was nominated in the Re Dublican primaries. N. D. Welty, a Wamego merchant, is the Progressive candidate. With the exception of the Eighth district, the Fourth is perhaps the stronghold of the Progressives in Kansas. The line between the Pro gressives and old line Republicans is strongly drawn in the district. Mar. tindale is an old line Republican by tradition, education and deep rooted convictions. Welty is a Progressive with the spirit something akin to that of the crusader. So the issue in the Fourth district is clearly defined. PYTHIAJf I8TKK8 MEET.
