Design Is To Stabilize Prices, Not Form Dictatorship. Washington, June 19. Food specu- lators have been taking $50,000,000 a month for the last five months a to tal of a quarter of a billion dollars from the American people, Herbert C. Hoover today told senators in explain ing the purposes of the food control bill now before congress. Mr. Hoover outlined prospective food supplies. "The real question," he said in prepared statement, preliminary to Bfiiaiurmi questioning, is wneiner me shortage will continue next year and what will be the needs of the allies and America. Despite the reduced consumption of the allies they will re- quire a larger amount of cereals next year than ever. The allies are more isolated in food sources. It takes surplus. The situation for them next year means increased privations: Without an adequate food supply no European population will continue to; tight and we shall find ourselves alone" aea'nst Oermany. The Russian revolution was a food riot and even yet that ally is tempoi rarily paralyzed. Responsibility rests on our government for failure of de-f iou. Turning to domestic conditions M: Hoover said this country has been ex periencing "unprecedented prices awi- rampant speculation." Citing how i iiiiuuiemen ana an otner persons in the distribution processes have been purchasing fc increasing supplies to avert individual shortages. Mr. Hoover cited the canning trade as an exam ple where the entire outDut of vege tables and fish for 1917 has been dis- E-af tt!f or' reached the canners. He predicted further high prices. Thousands of men he said, who heretofore have never owned a dollar's worth of food stuff now are speculating in neces sities. Bread Cheaper in England. "The average prices to the consum ers in countries where food adminis tration s now in effect are lower than those in the United Slates," he said. "In England the price of bread is even 25 per cent below the price we pay. 1 oelieve that unless some ad ministration of our food is taken we will look back at these prices as being moderate." Mr. Hoover denied that rhe bill es tablishes a food dictatorship. He characterized the purpose of food ad ministration as to mobilize the people in order to carrv out the riiHoo crim en by thj government officials and to decentralize the functions of the ad- muiiaciuuL'n in order to centralize the functions of the food administrate. me various states.

Stream of Kaiser's Gold Back of Propaganda in Madrid. London. June 19. A republic may bo in the making in Spain, according to meager advices, which sifted thru the Spanish censorship today. Per sonally, King Alfonzo commands the respect and confidence of his people, but the anti-monarchists are aiming at the German-influenced ministers and the German-dominated court, with which the king is surrounded. Economic unrest has contributed to ward furthering the republican move ment. Dispatches received here today in dicated that the anti-government forces had effected a combination and formally announced their determina tion to force such changes "as may be expedient to make the sovereign will of the people prevail." "Anti" Factions Unite. The anti-government parties have heretofore never been able to unite but recent reports that a new minis try of violently pro-German sympathy was projected, combined with the paralysis of industry thruout the country, brought all factions together. One other factor, it was reported, was the ease with which the military wrung concessions from the govern ment, indicating in the view of the agitators that the monarchy was aware of its own weakness. London newspapers express intense interest in the outcome. Germany has long poured a golden stream of mon ey into propaganda work in Spain. One feature of the situation which caused considerable satisfaction here, was the apparent dissatisfaction thru out Spain with the Germanophile court officials and ministers who sur round the pro-ally king.

POLICE FIND NEW EVIDENCE Motorcycle Uniform Buried With Girl Involves Chauffeur. Admits He Was in Cocchi Shop Sight of Murder. BY GEORGE MARTIN. New York. June 19. Deeper chan nels of crime apparently opened to day as police, private detectives and the district attorney's office deled in to the sordid pools of lust and mur der which swept the pretty school girl, Ruth Cruger, to her death. Shortly alter midnight this morn ing, consuelo La Rue, a young wo man, who said she had furnished Mrs. Grace Humiston with the infor mation which led to the finding of the Cruger girl's body was found, hys terical and maimed in a vacant lot beside an apartment building at 115 West Eightieth street. Screams brought a policeman run ning to the spot. Miss La Rue was half clad. Her left leg was broken in two places. She had jumped from a second story window. "He's up there," she moaned. Asked what she meant, she said: "The men. Two men came and said they had a telegram lor me. One grab bed me by the throat and said "I guess you 11 not tell any more. I jumped out of the dining room window. I preferred that death to the kind they gave Ruth Cruger." Then the young woman asked that Mrs. Humiston be notified: "Girl who gave her the tip where Ruth Cruger s body would be found, wants her." Order Mrs. Humiston Out. Mrs. Humiston was notified. One report is that the woman lawyer went to the hospital where Miss La Rue was taken, but was ordered from the room by the police. She is said to have de clared she had known Miss La Rue for some time. At the hospital all in formation was refused early today and from police sources came the sugges tion that the La Rue girl's mind had imt-atTinTTirl Vy i ilinairi -f i if hr Ruth Cruger crime. Tn addition to this glimpse of the white slave "ringr." which Mrs. Hum iston asserts is trapping, debauching and murdering girls like Ruth Cruder in New York every day. strong links in the chain of evidence against the believed slayers of Ruth Cruger were forged today. A motor cycle uniform found buried with the roped body of the high school girl under the cellar of the Cocchi shop was tried on the unusually tall form of Victor Blady, a chauffeur, held in connection with the crime. Altho he is six feet, five inches tall, the suit fit him perfectly. j Close questioning compelled Blady to admit he lied at the investigation in March in saying he was not in Cocchi's shop the day Ruth Cruger was murdered. lie Makes Admission.

He Discusses War Problems in His Annual Address. More than 1 00 Kansas retailers were in Topeka today to 'attend the annual convention of the Kansas Re tailers' association which convened at the Elks club this morning. The con vention will last two days and many problems vital to the carrying on of a successful retail business are to be threshed out and thoroly discussed. and it was freely predicted by dele gates today that the 1917 session will go on the record books of the asso ciation as one of the most beneficial and helpful ever held. After the convention was called to order by C. H. Trapp, and following an invocation by John H. Fazel, Mtiyor House welcomed the delegates to To peka and assured them that every thing the city has to offer is at their disposal. H. W.

President Shafer made a plea for more community co-operation and showed what the organization was doing along this line in Pittsburg, his home town. War lroblcm.s. Touching on the war situation, Mr. Shafer advised the members to recon cile themselves to the present high prices and to forget about them as much as possible by devoting more at tention to the quality of their goods and the service rendered their patrons. The five great problems the war has brought to the retailer, he said, are the demands of the consumer which have changed with conditions, the raw material problem, the railroad prob lem, the labor situation and high prices. Mr. Shafer went into detail in discussing each of these five mat ters and gave his idea of how they should be handled.

Meantime, congress wants to know exacuy now t,u, tan w pUv into air craft when aeroplane concerns heretofore have not been able to de liver 100 machines a year to the war department. The plan of the new bill calls for production of 30,000 new machines for the first year, over 2,000 a month within a few months. Prepare Detailed Stiitcmcnt. Aware of these mutterings by con gress, the administration will render a detailed statement as to contemplat ed expenditures. This will show: Mil- lions for aeroplane engines hundreds of thousands for wings and the like: tens of thousands for equipment and I training of aviators, and yet more thousands for supplies. This statement is being prepared j under the Joint direction of the signal corps, war and navy departments and 1 the air craft production commission j of the council of national defense. It I will explain that auto plants will ten- j der 40 per cent of their producing j equipment to manufacturing craft en gines at a reasonable profit. j How Much Profits? j Other factories will be utilized by the government to produce planes, etc. The statement will suggest that congress choose between government operation of the few real aeroplane factories of the country, or granting contracts for machines with these plants, allowing unusually high profits so that the plants may properly eauip themselves to expedite the enormous work demanded of them. The question of reasonable profit probably will be the biggest bone of contention on the bill. The statement will further explain expenses for main taining training camps, schools for mechanical education and the like. Require SO Training Camps. Aviators are now being turned out of these schools ready lor practical training at the rate of about two hun dred a week, but this is not sufficient and a call for volunteers is under con sideration. There will be twenty i training camps. OUTPUT 154 MILLION GALLONS Yield Searly Half Billion Reve nue to Government. Increase in Cigarettes Due to W omen's Pill Puffing I Washington. June 19. High tide of whiskv and beer revenue receipt and presumably consumption In the United States was reached during the fiscal year now closing. The cigaret smokers of the nation, figures show, also smoked more than ever before. Ordinary internal revenue receipt, composed chiefly of taxes on whisky, beer and tobacco, were $424,327,461 so far this year compared with $365. 126,544 last year. Gauged by reve nue receipts the present year probably will go down in history as the. banner year of the liquor traffic. Revenue at Rate or Million a Day. Revenue collected on whisky thu far in the fiscal year is approximate ly $178,000,000, a record for any year, altho the current fiscal year still ha eleven days. Ordinary receipts still are pouring in at more than $1,000. 000 a day. At the tax rate of $1.10 per gallon, these figures mean that taxes have been paid on about 154.000,000 gallons. This exceeds by It, 000, 000 gallons the record of the next highest year, 1913. Part of these heavy receipts is ac counted for, however, by heavy with drawals from bonded warehouses in the face of the 100 per cent increase in taxes contemplated in the war rev enue bill. Revenue from beer is about $94,000,000, a little less than the rec ord of 1914, when approximately 66, 000.000 barrels taxable at $1.50 per oarrei were consumed. It Is ex pected that when the fiscal year closes June 30, the 1914 record will have been surpassed. 100 Million, Tobax Revenue. Tobacco yielded more than $100, 000,000 revenue this year. The near est approach to this figure was last year's revenue of approximately $88. 000.000. A large part of the 15 per cent Increase is believed to be due to the growing popularity of cigaret s among women. GERMAN DROUTH Unprecedented Heat WaTe Dooms Crops of Fatherland.

rrrv TOPKKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESD 4 Y EVENING, -TUNE 19. 1917 CHILDREN VICTIMS Terrible Karages of War Visit ed Upon Innocents. Many Dumb From Shell Shock; Hundreds Are Mutilated. RED CROSS CARING FOR THEM Life and Death With Horrors Hainan and Inhuman. One Hospital Contains 400 Under 12, All Wounded. Uehind the British Line in France, June 19 (By the Associated Press.) French children found in the vil lages of northern France, evacuated by the Germans under pressure of the British and, French offensives, present a picture of the savagery of modern warfare, eliaiacteristic as the Somme forest shattered and broken by months of shell fire. Many are orphans without homo or relatives. Others have een severely wounded. Mont of them suffer from a peculiar species of shell shock af fecting them generally with a sort of tremor not unlike St. Vitus dance. They have had life and death with horrors human and inhuman revealed to them in guises so terrible that they never will be quite norma! again. All are underfed and frail from confine ment in cellars. Cut off suddenly from relatives and friend, perhaps two years agu, they have continue to live within a few hundred yards of the front lines, listening always to the thunder of shells and to the crash of explnHives until their idea ot heav en is a place that is very quiet." Children's Plight Worse. The mdition of the peasant men and women who have been living un der the shadow of the invader thru these long years ;s bad enough but the plight of the half-starved, wounded and r..entally deranged little children ha been far worse. All of them were collected and shepherded by the first entente troops in newly occupied areas. Kverything that can be done for their cure and i care is now being done. The first Ktep was to remove them well behind j the front nrefi. i nose wno were orphans were taken far away from tho sight and sound of shells, many to the south of France. The mildest cases were there put under the care of farm mothers. The more serious must of course be kept under close medical supervision in special institu tions. Children who were not orphans were not usually taken away from the districts. One French organization ;has a hospital with 400 child patient) all under twelve years of age. Most of them are wounded. Some have lost legs or arms or their sight while others are suffering from brain fever or a. puzzling anaemia under which -they rapidly waste away, f "They are victims of the ruthless ,ness of modern warfare," said the head of the hospital, a French woman wearing the uniform of the French Red Cross. Argument Against War, "There is no better argument .against war than to see these mutilat ed little victims who never will play or enjoy life as other children do. They are mere shadows. It is diffi cult to make them talk and they trem ble and start at any noise or sudden .movement. Women are always gentle iwith children but with these children we need special gentleness, as if we were handling something more fragile than the most delicate of children. One of the patients, a five-year-old boy who had been rendfred dumb from shell shock, showed no improve ment until after he had been in the hospital for several weeks. Then one clay he opened his eyes after a long wleep and said with a twisted smile to the nurse: "It is very quiet here -I like ;t." Cases like that encourage the nurses. But there are many sadder cases child patients whose wounds must inevitably prove fatal, patients who. despite every effort, steadily grow wfaker, patients who gradually! are losing their reason and whom nothing can save.

Senator Reed re ferred to a section which he contend ed would permit the government to take from cribs and bins Brain stored there in excess of the amount needed by the farmer, and asked Mr. Hoov er's opinion regarding the enforce ment. Not to Ilcsulate Consumption. "I don't think any of this power would be assumed except w hen vitally jieeded in order to correct existing evils," said Mr. Hoover. Mr. Hoover also said the food administration had no desire to regulate consumption of food. 'We don't propose to go to the ex tent of fixing consumers' rations," Mr. Hoover said, "except as to hotels, res taurants, etc., regarding the amount of bread portions to be served and the like." Mr. Hoover declared that bread prices In Belgium were 60 per cent less than In New York, those in Eng land and France are 30 to 40 per cent lower, with producers realizing the same prices. Appeal to Patriotism. "We have now a high cost of liv ing," he continued, "beyond the abil ities of certain sections" of the popula tion to withstand and to secure proper nourishment from the wage levels. Unless we can anielioriate this condi tion, and prevent further advances, we must confront an entire rearrange ment of the wage level with all the hardships and social disturbances which necessarily follow. "We- propose to mobilize a spirit of self denial and self sacrifice in this country In order that we may reduce national waste. If democracy Is worth anything we can do these things by co-operation. If it cannot ne done it is better that we accept German domination and confess the fMiinre of our Doliticai ideals. "No one will undertake this office who had hopes ot retaining me es mem of his country. Any food ad ministration must be based upon self sacrifice ot somebody, somewnere. and while the vast majority of peopla will accept it willingly and with prid?, fhere will be a minority whose com plaints will sound much larger above the satisfaction of the inarculate masses. "We have no hope of complete buct cess, but we have hope that we shall succeed so far as to enable this coun try and the allies to remain constant in this war.'

"DO IT N0W"--T. R. Don't Wait Until Our Boys eed Wounds Dressed. Give Sow So Red Cross Can Be Fully Prepared. Oyster Bay, June 19. Theodore Roosevelt, in an address here last night in behalf of the Red Cross, de nounced the sentiment abroad in the United States against "fighting Eng land's war." "Any man who hates England more than he loves the United States should be thrown from the country," he said. The colonel demanded that Ameri cans curtail their pleasure for the pe riod of the war and instead give the money they might use in such frivoli ties to the Red Cross or other relief work. Might Have Happened in C S. The colonel pointed to the lesson of a war film the audience had seen ear lier, saying: "Such pictures as you have seen actually occurred in Eu rope. The only reason it has not hap pened to us since April 2, is because of the British fleet and the British and French armies. Ours is an ignoble safety. We will get victory this time because of our far-sighted allies. Some future time, if we are not ready, we will go down in unpitied" disaster. "There actually have been Ameri cans who recently have been saying: 'Why should we fight on the same side as England, our ancient foe?' 1 would like to see any man here un patriotic enough to say that at this time. Abraham Lincoln's rule holds good for nations. Where a nation is wrong, fearlessly oppose it; when it is in the right, otand by it. Shouldn't Hate Kngland. "Any man who hates England more than he loves the United States should be thrown from the country. A nation must be judged by its con duct in any given crisis. An un friendly attitude against England is as base and unjust as would be an in dividual grudge between two men be cause their great grandfathers fought. The sentiment is that of a traitor." Colonel Roosevelt referred to the murder of Ruth Cruger, a New York high school girl, and pointing to the girls and women before him, said: "Similar' fate would be staring you in the face tonight if you were not protected by our allies." The colonel cautioned against snob bishness in Red Cross work. "Many little, mean petty jealousies have come to light in the Red Cross organization," he said. "This is in credible baseness." Cut Out Luxury and Give. He then made an appeal for the Red Cross. His hearers numbered many wealthy residents of Long Is land. "I appeal to those not fortunate enough to have brothers or other dear ones going into the fighting lines," he said. "If you came here tonight to get thrills and to see a good entertain ment, your time and mine has been wasted. Go away prepared to do your part, you women, to help to harden the men who must fight. Don't give yourselves enjoyment that, if it costs so much, it will keep you from giving to these war necessities. Above all, in your giving, remember that a year or bo from now, when our boys are 'being wounded and need your aid, will be too late. Do it now." 3 AMERICANS THERE How Socialists Got Credentials From Party in V. S. a Mystery. Stockholm, June 19.

GIRL WHO GAVE tConrlpnert from Page One. Dolling, Blady admitted having been in Cocchrs shop the night of Feb ruary 13. This is the same night Cocchi Is believed to have let the roped body down into the cellar thru a trap-door he cut in the floor of his shop and to have started digging the girl's grave. Blady swore he left the shop at 9:30 that night. He admitted three other men were there and he gave their names to Dolling. Blady is catalogued as one of Cocchi's close friends. He said he drove Cocchi to his home that night when he left at 9:30. Meantime ghoulish curio hunters slipped into the morgue where Ruth Cruger s body lay, and stole a gold stick pin and five shell hairpins from the little bundle of trinkets placed beside her body on the slab. At the same time, city, state and government officials cabled the Ital ian authorities at Rome and Bologne and brought all possible Influence to bear to get Cocchi back here to an swer the indictment charging him with the murder of Ruth Cruger. Believe He Had 2 or 3 Accomplices. Close scrutiny of the Cocchi shop revealed what the authorities con sider unmistakable evidence that Cocchi and probable two or three ac complices butchered the little school girl. Removal of a square of galvanized iron from the floor of the shop dis closed a newly cut trap door, which it was necessary for the murderer to cut to get the girl's body into the basement without taking it out doora and down the cellar steps. This trap door had been rejoined, the saw marks puttied and the whole floor freshly white washed and the metal plate laid over lt- Ruth Cruger's Funeral Private.

INVOKTGApULE Cloture Will Be Used in Senate if Debate Drags On. Little Hope to Get Food Law in Time for Early Harvest. Washington, June 19. Attempts to invoke cloture will be made in the senate if debate on the food control bill threatens to imperil it. Republican leaders, as well as Democrats were determined today as debate was resumed to prevent any isolated filibuster from dragging the measure to the point where its adop tion would be too late for service. The intention now is to give the debate two weeks before using strong arm methods. If at that time it ap pears a filibuster is under way, the antidote cloture will be tried. The most optimistic are now con vinced that the bill cannot be passed in time for Herbert Hoover to handle the early harvests. Few believe it can get thru inside a month, unless further direct action is taken by Pres ident Wilson. Ijittle Iaiiprer in the House. Both houses have made the measure their "regular business," and will try to Keep jt continuously under discus sion until it is disposed of. Little danger lies ahead of the bill in the house. But in the senate, Reed, La Follette and Hardwick, will concen trate against it, while Gallinger, Wads worth, Gore and Vardaman offer suffi cient support to the opposition to drag debate along for weeks. In an effort, however, to modify some of the most violent opponents. Hoover, him self, conferred with senators today and explained the operation of the measure fully. He outlined how he proposed to ad minister control and how $150,000,000 could be spent in the work.

Chicago The Herald says: Certain traders who believe in a big crop far more than can be consumed at home or exported p; ,y wa Morning task, but WaHaaal Pvaj .40f& Be Raised success will be attained are discounting the future at an unusual rate by selling December and May corn at the heavy reductions under the Septem ber and cash corn as the bulls see it. The latter admit that the price Is high but the war makes everything higher than usual which should be cousidered. They belie-e that little old corn will be felt by the time new is available. Their buying Is mainly on breaks. The shrewdest of the bears are taking advantage of the bulges to sell on. For the present the market is regarded more of a two sided affair and liable to wide changes In price. The readjuatment is on in wheat values but until there is an increase in movement in the new crop and millers and exporters know definitely what is to be done at Washington all are going alow in buying. Premiums on cash wheat must decline 40 to 50 cents to reach the July price. It is said by some that the fattening value of two bushels of oats la equal to one bushel of corn. This at the present price of corn would make the relative value of oats 80c or better. It is also said that from the farmers or cost of raising point of value the relative value of oats tn corn Ht nresent orice of corn would make oats $1.20 or better. There is an increased disposition on the part of well informed traders to believe that the ultimate outcome of The wheat crop of the Vnited States will exceed 700 million bushels. John Barrett who has been out In Kansas wired that be esti I mated the yield at 80 million against 46, I 500,000 shown in the government June re- port.

Coveleskie Is Sensation of This Season's Record Boobs. BY JACK VEKXK. New York, June 19. Two young pitchers who are earning their cakes in the big leagues this season show promise of piling up records before they outlive their usefulness on the rubber that will grve them a place in that select set which includes only the greatest slabmen of the game. One of thse two youngsters is Ferdi nand "Stubblefield" Schupp, the bril liant young southpaw of the Giants. The other is Stanley Coveleskie, the sensation of the Cleveland Indians. Schupp is perhaps the most remark able of the pair, because he is a south paw, and as a rule the southpaws have a tough time when they turn their steps toward the pitching hall of fame McGraw has kept his weather eye on the work of young Mr. Schupp for fivt years. He has always maintained that Schupp had the makings of a wonder ful pitcher, but tho Ferdie failed to show him anything sensational in the pitching line until last fall he clung to him, and the season of 1917 has so far proven that McGraw knew what he was about. Schupp Is Twenty-Five. Schupp is in his twenty-fifth year, and he is without a doubt the best southpaw pitcher in the National league. He is considered by many to be equally as good as Ruth and Leon ard, the famous Boston portsiders, and from the pitching he has done so far this season there is no great argument that can be advanced to offset Schupp's standing in fork-handed ranks. Schupp has everything a pitcher needs. He is a quick thinker ana a good fielder. His arm is strong as steel, and he has a bewildering assort ment of foolers as well as a change of pace. But, best of all when it is con sidered that Schupp is a southpaw he has control. The umpires, and the boys who have to bat against Schupp ought to know best of all what he has up his sleeve, and without variation every one we have quizzed regarding Schupp has come thru with the same verdict he's a wonder, and he has not yet reached his zenith as a pitcher. Schupp has a formidable young ri val for pitching fame in Stanley Cov eleskie, the Cleveland right-hander. Coveleskie is 26 years old, and will celebrate his twenty-seventh birthday on July 13. Like Schupp, young Cov eleskie has youth on his side, and to day he stands out as a pitching phe nom who is just beginning to come into his own as a winner. Coveleskie a Sensation. National Leame.

Coveleskie's work with the Cleve land Indians has been one of the big gest features of the season insofar as pitching goes. He has pitched against every club in the league, and has come thru on the long end of a big majority of the game. He is one of the most pffective pitchers in the big leagues this year, for he has started already to INVESTIGATE M'GRAW He Must Repudiate or Back Tip Charges Against Tener. New York, June 19. John J. Mc Graw, manager of the New York Giants, will supply the final chapter today in the National league's probe of President Teller's action in fining him and McGraw's own action in de nouncing Tener in interviews. It is understood the New York club has or dered McGraw to appear. 4 Having vindicated Tener for every step he took in the controversy, the board of directors of ihe league reached the decision that McGraw $o maintain his standing, must either re pudiate the charges he is alleged to have made or substantiate them. Whether further punishment will be given him if he refuses to substan tiate them has not been stated. A stormy session is almost certain if McGraw has been correctly quoted. The fiery director of the Giants never has been known to back down an inch from a position. He is known to have gathered statements from a number of persons who saw the melee between himself and Umpire Byron at Cincin nati, declaring Bryon the aggressor. He is expected to back up his charges or iavoritism by Tener with the de mand that Byron be given punishment in Keeping witn tne fine and suspen sion plastered on himself. Personal charges flung at Tener will form an other part of the hearing. COMISKY PLAYS AGAIN Old Roman Will Perform for Benefit of the Red Cross. Chicago, June 19. Several promisina young recruits, including Charley Com- lsky, Adrian Anson and Fred Pfeffer, are expected to be given a tryout in a baseball game which will feature the Red Cross field day, to be held at Weeghman park July 21.

Having been virtually driven from the air during the battle of Kessines, the German air forces have been attempting to reassert themselves during the past week by adopting the familiar old Teutonic tactics, of mass formation. The Brit ish pilots report that they seldom meet the Germans ndw in squadrons of less than fifteen machines, while occasionally they encounter an enemy aerial army consisting of from forty to sixty airplanes. None of these great formations has yet been able to cross the British lines for the new tactics have found the Royal Flying corps prepared and numbers have been met with numbers. Some of the battles of the last few davs have found as many as from seventy to eighty machines involved. All these engagements have occurred well in side German territory and have been barely visible from the British line. The pilots engaged found the fighting so neavy that they had no time to rfrcken the losses inflicted upon the retreating Germans. Later, however, British machines flew lower over me ground, counting the machines which had been burned or wrecked. After one of these general melees ten enemy airplanes were seen smashed. while only two British fliers had beer. compelled to quit the fight, one of these being able to land within his jwii lines Smashed Four Enemy Planes. One young British pilot, who bids fair soon to reach the record made by the late Captain Ball, emulated the latter a few days ago by deliberately "sitting" over a German airdome, some twenty miles within the enemy lines, and smashing one by one, lour n?achines which came up to attack him. When he began hovering above the place he saw seven machine in the tirdome with engines running. He engaged the first one that left the ground when it was only sixty feet up and it fell a complete wreck. Diving at the second machine which rose, the British pilot drove it square ly into a tree. Two machines then left the ground together, so the Brit isher thought it best to get a little more height before attacking the pair. He climbed to 1,000 feet and then after a brief three-cornered fight saw both his adversaries go down within 300 feet of each other. After this exploit the pilot returned safely, but with his machine consid erably shot up by machine gun fire from the ground. CANTONMENT BIG JOB Little Rock Camp to Occupy 3,000 Acres; Use 30 Million Feet Lumber. Little Rock, Ark., June 19. To erect a city 'or 28,000 inhabitants within three months, the sanitation of urhfrh must- if tVi hi"st tho rnm- forts and conveniences, while not nec- essarily elaborate, must still be ade quate, is the tremendous task Col. George P. Howell with a staff of army engineers and civilian experts have before them in preparing the canton ment of the Twelfth division of Uncle Sam's new army, which will be trained here. This division is comprised of men from Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. The cantonment will be located five miles north of Little Rock and will cover approximately 3,000 acres. The site has been pronounced by army of ficers as particularly desirable as it is on a high, well-drained and well wooded plateau and the soil is of a sandy composition wriich dries quickly. 7,500 Laborers to Build Rail Lines. The construction of railroad and street1 car facilities is the first step to be taken. This work alone, it is esti mated, will require 7,500 laborers. In addition, there will be highways, wa ter, light and sewer systems to aug ment tne army or workmen before the real business of camp building be gins. It is probable that the construction of the buildings for this military city win oe under tne supervision of Capt. Kenneth P. Williams, quartermaster at Fort Logan H. Roots. According to the plans he has received, it is esti mated that 30,000,000 feet of lumber will be required. MOBILIZE FARMERS TY COBB COMING STRONG AMERICAN ASSOCIATION, Minneapolis (at K. C.)

If those persons upon volves the task of prosecuting the w:ir deem it necessary that there should be n food dictator, then congress should make provision for one without furth er deya. Whatever objection there may be to one-man power under or dinary conditions, they do not apply with equal force when the country is fitting a crisis in its affairs. The only question should be, is control of the food supply necessary. If it be found to be m then the only way to accom I lii-Ii it successfully is to turu, it over lo a competent man. In Kngland .Lloyd George not only is food dicta tor but he is dictator of everything else. Where would Kngland have been if the management of the war had been left to a lot of bureaus and commissions, without a supreme guiding hand. The fact that La Toi lette opposes the food control meas- ure should be sufficient reason for patriotic congressmen to support it. Any power conferred by congress can be revoked by that body at will. The next important money raising campaign in this country is the gath ering together of $100,000,000 for the use of the Red Cross. Its importance is secondary only to that of the lib erty loan. The sum called for should be largely oversubscribed. The or ganization can find use for all the money it can get. An eastern writer in an article dis cussing the war situation refers to Goethals as "a shipbuilder who never built ships before." He might also with equal propriety have referred to him a few years ago as a canal builder who never built canals before. The citizen who has done a patri otic duty by buying a liberty loan bond should not close -his pocketbook yet. There is the Red Cross demanding his attention. The fact that this is not a cavalry war, and that automobiles, motor cycles, flying machines and observa tion balloons are performing much of the service formerly required of the horse in war time, does not seem to have checked the demand for Ameri can saddle and draft animals. In the first year of the war the number of horses and mules sent out of the country was In round numbers 375, 000, in the second year 470,000, and in the third year, which ends with this month, it will approximate 450,000. Uncle Sam's success in floating the liberty loan was so great that he is planning to try it again. The task should be much easier next time. The educational work has been done. Be sides most of the money obtained by the first loan will be back in circula tion by the time the next call is made. The abdication of a king no longer arouses more than passing notice. Probably it soon will cease to be front page matter. Greece and Spain and Russia should hurry if they want to be in at the finishing of Germany. Field Marshal Haig Is showing a disposition to end tlie Job by himself. He is not waiting for anybody. Germany continues her attempt to conclude a separate peace with Rus- Hia. w hy should any nation want to enter into any sort of agreement with Germany? She has no regard for treaty obligations and considers them mere "scraps of paper." If Rus sia knows when she is well off she will stick to her allies and thereby win a peace which will be worth while. The Russian munition factory work ers have succeeded In having the working day cut to six hours. They probably want more time for organiz ing revolutions. ,-The kaiser has ordered his men on the western front to take no more British prisoners. They have been taking so few recently as to render the order almost unnecessary. After looking over the returns from the liberty loan campaign, what do those persons think who have held that the masses are not behind the war? The ideal of the "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood ot man" Is being given a big boost by the Great War. It has been said that war is a busi ness. Then the government should conduct the present business in which it is engaged on a business basis. It not only should pay cash promptly but should be able to take advantage of the lower prices which cash pay- ment usually affords. If necessary to this end It should follow up the lib erty loan with another. There has been much complaint by creditors of Uncle Sam that they do not get their money when it is due. The war busi ness will be greatly accelerated and possibly cheapened by prompt cash payment. HELPING THE RED CROSS. Colonel Roosevelt, speaking at Lin coln, Neb., in behalf of the 100,000, 000 war fund which the American Ked Cross has set out to raiser-fleclar-ed that the. Red Cross would be sec ond in importance only to the army as a factor in winning the war. The suc cess of the liberty loan campaign is, therefore, a good augury for the suc cess of the campaign to provide the Red Cross with adequate funds for the performance of the important duties which will fall to it in connection with the war. Those who foresee difficulties in the way of raising such a huge sum do not tha i r- Tnrtfl n lit fhp Wfirk whom .le.ri'F' wmcn tne riea ross win ue t-ancu upon to perform, once our troops are in France. The fact of the matter is that the money must be raised, or else the men who are fighting under Old Glory will be deprived of the care which they are entitled to txpect from this nation, and the wounded must suffer the neglect. Once this aspect of the matter is borne in upon our people, there will be no difficulty about raising the $100,000,000. It may be true that they do not as yet fully grasp the im portance of the Red Cross in time of war, but their education cannot begin too soon. The Red Cross must be equipped now for the work ahead of it. Delay until the movement of troops across the water had begun, says the Rochester Democrat, would be a national crime. Colonel Roose velt jsaid: Our own sons and brothers will soon be going into battle. They will be three thousand miles from home, in a land already wasted by war, a land threatened by famine, a land smitten by disease. They tull us that, in many cases today the wounds of soldiers in France must be tied up with news paper for want of the necessary sur gical bandages. Wrhen our own men are wounded as they surely will be in great numbers are we .oing to allow them to suffer yet more because we fail to provide those things which can at least mitigate distress? Surely not! But we must do it in advance. If we wait it may be too late. There are indications that the Ger man army on the western front is preparing to stage another "strategic retreat." Hindenburg" should be care- ful. He may start something that he cannot stop. LIBERTY IX)A A WINXKK. The liberty loan proved a gratify ing success, being oversubscribed, fully one-half having been raised in New York. One of the most pleasing features, says Henry Clews in his Financial Review, was that over two million subscribers are reported to have taken part, which is double the number attracted to the first loans of either Great Britain or Germany. Evidently there is no lack of pa triotism in the country. The cause of the hesitation freely to subscribe at the start was that the mass of people in the United States did not then fully appreciate the vital issues at stake. They have only slowly realized that back of all surface and minor issues stands one supreme fact; that the struggle is pre-eminently to preserve democracy against autocracy; that the freedom won in 1776 was gravely menaced, and that self-protection really forced us Into the contest; not to mention the dictates of humanity anl our fundamental beliefs in lib erty and an advanced civilization. We have been so isolated from Eu ropean affairs, so wrapped up in our own Interests, so free from injury or pain, so confident of our safety, so sat isfied with our own progress and so pleased with war profits that super human efforts were necessary to over come the solid inertia which made tt difficult to turn the rising spirit of patriotism into positive action. This fact was clearly demonstrated by ear lier enthusiasm displayed in the sea board cities, which are naturally In closer touch with Europe and more sensitive to its movements than the interior; albeit the latter sometimes overlooks to what an extent it is de pendent upon Europe as a market for its products. Time, however, will work great changes in this respect, especially when doings of the Ameri can army and navy on the other side begin to awaken latent enthusiasm. President Wilson's eloquent Flag day address was an effective appeal to American patriotism and self-interest that will have a wide and bene ficial effect. Within a few months the new spirit will have swept across th i continent, welding the whole country together in its determination to push the struggle with all possible vigor to a victorious conclusion. Operations connected with the loan do not threaten any serious disturb ance to the money market, further than a general firmness of rates. Other heavy calls are In prospect, but the strain will be relieved by partial payments, by keeping the funds in banks as far as possible and by redis- countlng loans thru the reserve banks. Moreover, practically the v hole of the loan will be spent in the United States for war purposes, creat ing new activity In all munition indus tries. Demands upon the money mar ket during the remainder of June l-romise to be quite heavy. Payments fur the new loan will aggregate 1400, 000.000 before the first of July. Div idend disbursements on the same date are estimated at over $300,000,000, the largest on record. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL LUXEMBURG ASKS HELP TUB TOPEKA STAT. JOl'R.NAi. INFORMATION Bt'BEAD By Frederic J. Iluskln. Director Wenhlnctnn. I). C. Washington, D. C, June 19. A committee of the citizens of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg have addressed a petition to President Wilson, ask ing that the United States do not for get the wrongs that have been inflict ed unon their country by Germany. If this war is oeing fought over the rights of small nations, says the peti tion in effect, remember that we are the smallest of all nations, and that our rights were the first to be vio lated. The first neutral nation to be in vaded by Germany was Luxemburg. The invasion was a flagrant breach of a solemn treaty, and the Germans ad mitted as much, explaining with their usual myopic morality that the breach was justified on grounds of military necessity. "We have committed a wrong 1 speak plainly said the German chancellor, addressing the reichstag, "but we will make redress for this wrong as soon as our military objects are attained." The first prisoners taken in the great war were citizens of 'Luxem burg men who had no Wong, done nothing but protest against the inva sion of their territory. They were re moved into Germany, and the natives got the impression that they were spies, with the result that their lives were endangered. The German armies swept completely over Luxemburg, one of the most peaceful and progres sive states in Europe. Luxemburg is a country of about 1.000 square miles with a population of 270,000. There is no compulsory military service, and the army in l!li consisted of 300 men and an excellent military band. When war was declar ed, Luxemburg closed the roads over its frontiers with steel chains. The German advance guard forced the army to rempve the, chains at the point of the pistol. One single barri cade was erected to check the advance or the Teutons, and the men who built it were forced to take it down. Any resistance of course was absolute ly hopeless. Since then Luxemburg has been in i.ernian hands. The petition to Pres ident Wilson was drawn up by a com mittee of exiles in Paris. A large number of Luxemburghers, left the country rather than remain under Prussian domination. The number of Luxemburghers fighting as volunteers in the allied armies is greater in pro portion to population than those of any other nation in the world. In order to understand the position and the sentiments of the Luxem burghers it is necessary to remember the establishment of the grand duchy as a free nation, and the feeling to ward Prussia. The grand duchy was made independent, autonomous and neutral in 1867. A conference of the I powers in London solemnly pledged i,themselves to establish and maintain treaty was signed by Prussia. France, Austria. Great Britain, Russia and Ialy: u was agreed that Luxemburg t"uul11 ioxioLeiiii a strict neutrality in I all wars, and that this neutrality miuuiu oe respected ny every nation. Luxemburg was at that time strongly fortified. The fortifications were blown up and destroyed by a commission of French and Prussian military officers. Luxemburg was to enjoy, and bound to maintain, perfect peace from that day forward. There are two reasons whv posses sion of Luxemburg was important to titrmany. First, it lies on the direct road to France. Second. It is an im portant agricultural and industrial state. It has rich mines of lead, coo per, antimony and iron. Almost 3 per cent of the who'e world's output of iron is produced in this tiny nation. In the face of these considerations the solemn treaty stipulations were not considered. The first scrap of paper was torn to shred.s. For many years past Germany ha5 been attempting to extend her influ ence in Luxemburg. The highly de velopea railroad system of the country was controlled by Germans, and it is now Clear that this network of rail roads, so excellently adapted to the transportation of troopiv was designed largely with that end in view. Luxem burg was a member of the German customs union. Every effort was made to Germanize the Grand Duchy, but these efforts failed because a hatred of Prussia is d.eeply ingrained in the Luxemburg nature. Of this there seems to be no reasonable doubt. The national anthem of Luxemburg has for its refrain, the words, "We will never be Prussians, we will remain what we are." Shortly after th. Ger man invasion, the kaiser for a short time made Luxemburg his headquar ters. The people refused to salute him on the street. An excellent Ger man military band gave daily concerts in the public park. The music-loving people refused to attend them. The women of Luxemburg enlisted in the Red Cross, but they refused to nurse the German wounded, confining tneir work to Belgians and French, ilost convincing proof of Luxemburg senti ment is given by the Luxemburg vol unteers fighting in the French army. The ruler of Luxemburg is the Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide. It is said by some that the Grand Duch ess herself went out in her motor car to protest against the violation of her neutral duchy, but the actual protest seems to have been made by officers of the tiny army. As is often the case in small nations, the patriotism of the Luxemburgers Is a very ardent sentiment. Their country is at once one of the most beautiful and the richest in the world. In all the arts of peace they occupy a very advanced position. The gov ernment is a constitutional monarchy; there is complete religious freedom in normal times. There are excellent roads, 510 miles of railroad in a country of 1,000 square miles a net work of telephone lines, 125 postof fices, and schools are particularly numerous. Education is compulsory. In this state of 270,000 people there were before the war 800 primary schools, and numerous technical schools and colleges. Students came from all over Europe. The country enjoyed relatively great wealth and prosperity. Both French and German were taught in the schools. The common people use a mixed dialect, principal ly based on German words. French was universally used in official circles, and by the higher classes generally. Luxemburg did not reach its little period of peaee and prosperity without centuries of strife and travail. It is doubtful if any country in the world, large or e-mail, can show a similar his tory of war and suffering, in the causes and results of most of which the people had no direct interest. In the days before records were made in this region, Luxemburg was- the scene of great battles. Julius Caesar con quered it, and spoke highly of the fighting qualities of its people. Later the Huns the real and original Huns THE FLAG. Flag over which the battle broke. When through a pall of rolling smoke Bonne Homme Klchard's cannon spoke; Flag, which unfolded in the skies. Held with its clear and brilliant dyes Brave Lawrence's uplifted eyes; Flag which at Bnena Vista spread ItH glorv over Taylor's head. When Santa Anua turned and fled; Flag which nnfnrled its silver stars Above the Hartford's smoky spars, And Farragut'a heroic tars Flag which was wrapped In vapora gray, Ann crimson mist aim nery apray. with llewey at Manila way Flag of the sea and of the shore, Keloved flag our fathers bore To famous victories of yore. Again we fling thee to the breeze To feel the stinr of battle-bees. And lead the charging butteries. Again thy cause is trne and just. And lo! when every throne is dust. Aud conquering swords are sheathed in rust, Untouched, triumphant, thou Shalt be Still bright with immortality, O glorious emblem of the free! Minna Irving, 10 resile s. swept ever it; it was taken by Colts and Cauls and Normans. It was the first possession of Emperor Charles V who later ruled more European terri tory than any monarch before or since During1 the Thirty Years war, probably the only conflict which equalled the present :n the misery it inflicted on non-combatant populations, conditions were worse in Luxemburg than any where else. In modern times the Duchy was handed back and forth among the French, the Dutch, the Spanish, the Prussians and the Aus trians, losing a little territory at each exchange. It almost caused a Franco Prussian war in 1866, but. Bismarck was not ready, and he consented to the solemn covenant which guaranteed the Crand Duchy of Luxemburg neutral and inviolito for all time. And so Xt remained until August, 1914. What will become of Luxemburg after the war? The people are unal terably opposed to Prussian rule. No where are the Prussians better hated. Luxemburg would sooner be French than Prussian, and she would rather be a part of Belgium than a pari of France. What she really desires is plain enough; she wishes to oecome again what sha was once, a free and independent state.

DINNER STORIES The decorator and his apprentice were lime-washing the bakery. They were about half way thru their task when the master decorator came to look around. The apprentice was splashing the lime wash about. The master, not re lishing this waste, said: "Mind your eyes, lad." The lad said: "It is all right, sir. I have just had-,. one eye full, but I didn't waste it. I put it back In the bucket When the conversation turned to the subject of romantic marriage this little anecdote was volunteered by H. M.

"No; it was an elopemefnt," "An elopement, eh? Did the girl's father follow you?" "Yes, and he has been with, us ever since. LOBE SHOT'S Fram the Atchison Globe. Wastefulness Is nearly as bad as stealing. A woman's tears lose their power if she use them too freely. There are a good many frenzied fi nanciers on the first day of every month. As a man grows older, he is also able to carry a knife longer without losing it. It isn't a man's eagerness to serve the people which makes him go in for a political career. Men are foolish in many ways, but not to the extent of expecting their wives to believe them. An orator is one who understands that his audience is more interested in sentiment than sense. No man can make a hit with his wife by telling her what a good man ager some other woman is. A man may not pay much attention toa woman's -clothes, particularly if he can 3ee thru them. A few good men are controlled by their conscience, while fear and wives keep others on the straight and nar row.

In the house, in the inner room, a scroll depicting some scene inspiring a boy's imagination is brought forth and hung up in the kokemone and underneath it is erected a boy s altar, resplendent with effigies of the sho guns in helmet and armor, gorgeously robed daimyos, and stern two-sworded samurai of the past, and the natty sailors and soldiers of the present. Before this are placed more stand ards with brieht hued banners and tinv carp, and piles of glittering toys, for this is the Japanese boy s Christmas tree and birthday rolled into one, and the occasion on which all of his friends and relatives are expected to make him presents. And the streets are filled with myriads of chubby cheeked little lads, wearing the smile that won't come off, and sucking on adamantine Japanese i candy while they proudly exhibt their gifta to each other. It is a picturesque and beautiful sight to thus see a whole nation taking a day off to pay tribute to the small boy, and it is a custom that might well be imitated in our own country where boys as a class, -are without honor, and none are so poor as to do them reverence. Of course individually we adore our own particular siyall boy, but all oth ers of the male species, between the time they cut off their Fauntleroy curls and grow a moustache, we look. upon with horror coupled with fear and dread. To our minds they typify noise and dirt and vandalism, and de struction, and a demoniac inventive ness that shatters quiet, and does away witrr all comfort and composure. Landlords refuse to rent apartments to those known to possess Email boys, real estate depreciates when they move into a community, and we would soon er hear that a visitor was bringing with her a raging lion and a wild V.. rV, r. thot nVt. tune ti, V i? CCOTTl oinied bv her precious Tommy and ihnnv Perhaps the reason that the Amer- ican small boy is such a pest in our midst is because he senses that we re gard him as an Ishmael. and he there fore unconsciously takes the outcast's revenge upon society Certainly we do not give him a square deal when we force him to live in cities, in tiny band-box flats where there is no space for his activities and energies, and t stepped a little man, with such a large where he is forced out on the streets hat that it covered him from head M in order that older people may not be foot. driven by him into insane asylums. I "Oh, excuse me," said Uncle Wig- Every boy is entitled to be raised on 1 gily. "You are a farm where there is enough room "The Hatter! Exactly!

Not even in homes where they are really wanted and loved. Whoever heard of the boys getting the best room in the house? That is al ways given to the girls. Any sort of an attic chamber, or dark cubby hole is thought good enough tor the boys, and they invariably fall heir to the hardest mattresses ana tna most ui- j lapidated furniture in the family. Maybe one of the reasons that boys 1 bang and hack chairs and tables! around so is because they have never had any of their own that was worth j taKing care oi. i nere s noining in a lot of old junk that inspires in your soul that love of beautiful surround ings that is the beginning of civiliza tion. And as for clothes well, if there's any money to be spent on glad rai ment it goes on sister's back. Mother worries and fusses over the girls' frocks, and tells father that they REALLY MUST have things that are the very latest word in fashion or else they will be mortified to death to go among their friends. But if there is any economizing to be done, Johnny does it. Nobody con siders it important how he looks so that he is moderately clean and has only a reasonable number of darns and patches. Nobody realizes that Johnny sets just as much store upon having just the right bag to his knick ers, or as razor-edged a crease in his trousers as sister does to the set of her skirt, and that he is just as sensi- tive to the boys' comment on his ties as she is to the girls' on her sleeves. Worse still, the small boy is utterly neglected in regard to the important matters that are going to count big in his after life. Mother prepares sis ter for society, for making a good ap pearance in this world. She is taught how to approach people, how to enter and leave a room, and what to say. But no one bothers to teach johnny that. It is taken for granted that he is a hopeless savage becav.se he is a boy, and ec no ene drills him in the niceties of life. The result is that lit tle girls nearly always have good man ners, while little boys are hoodlums. Little Maw drops you a courtesy when you speak to her, and hopes you ara 1 1 U.. 11o Tl.nn., Weil, miu vm mui.ihij keeps his hat on and says 'lo" lo a woman old enough to be his grand mother. That's why boys leave home wher. they are grown to get a start in their professions or business. Everybody remembers Johnny Jones as such a surly, ill-mannered little cub they can't realize that he has developed, by the grace of God, and not thru his parents' fault, into a fine courteous gentleman. Worse still, so far as the treatment accorded boys goes, is the fact thac no one seems to realize that a small boy is the most sensitive creatuie on earth, and the most hungry hearted. He writhes under ridicule as under torture- yet his callous family have no hesitation in calling public attention to his faults and blunders, and mak ing his mistakes the nail on wnich they ham? the funny stories they tell to guests. That's why boys spring up in themselves and hide what they really think and feel, so completely that their parents know less of them than they do of any stranger that crosses their path. And the small boy just aches te be petted, to be caressed, to be talked to, and sympathized with, and under stood, and praised. And he so seldom gets even a kind word. -.It's his faults he hears about so often that it is no wonder that one small boy, when asked what was his name:, said that he didn't know that it was either Johnny Don't or Johnny Run he was called m-- about as often a3 the other The Japanese set apart a da to JUNE 19, 1917 honor the email boy. exclusively and individually.

"Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" called Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady housekeeper, as Mr. Longears, the rabbit gentleman, started to hop out of his hollow stump bungalow one morning. "Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" "Well, what is it?" asked the bunny with a polite bow. "Do you want any thing from the store?" Some carrot coffee, if you please," answered the muskrat lady. "When you finish your walk and have had a nice adventure, bring home some cof fee. 'V- "f 11 do it," promised Uncle Wiggily, and then, as he hopped along, over the fields and thru the woods, he thought perhaps he had better buy the carrot coffee first. "For." said he to himself. "I might have such a funny adventure that I'd forget all about what Nurse Jane told me. Now you Just wait and see what happens, if you please. It did not take the bunny long to get the coffee, the monkey doodle gen tleman who kept the store wrapping it up for him in a paper that had been twisted around a lollypop candy. "It's a bit sticky and sweet," said the monkey doodle store keeper. speaking of the lollypop paper, "but that will stop the coffee from falling out. "Fine!" laughed Uncle Wiggily, and then he hopped on to look for an ad venture. He had not gone very far before when, all of a sudden, he heard a. voice sfivin? 'Well. 1 don't know what to do about it, that's all! I never saw such trouble! The idea of wanting me to get ready for it this time of day!" "Ha! Trouble!" thought Uncle Wiggily. "This is where I come lh. What is it you can't get ready for this time of day, and who are you asked the bunny, for he saw no one. "Oh, it's you, is it?" called a voice and out from under a mulberry bush derland.' 'went on the little mm. The bunny hadn't really guessed it, tho he might if he had had time. "And what is the trouble?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "Oh, I've just been ordered by the Queen of Hearts to get up p. tea party right away for Alice, who is expected any minute," went on the Hatter. "And j here it is 10 o'clock in the morning, i and the tea's at 5, and I haven t even started. "You have lots of time," said Uncle Wiggily. "Hours and hours," "Yes, but I haven't the'tea!" cried the Hatter. "Don't mind me, but I'm as mad as mad ajg as lollvpops, and there's nathing madder th&n them he said, sort of grinding his teeth. This grinding made Uncle Wiggily think of the coffee in his pocket. So, holding ut the package, he said: "I don't suppose this would do, would it?" "What?" asked the Hatter. "It's coffee," went on the bunny, "but "The very thing!" cried ihe Harter; who was now smiling. "It will be just the thing1 for the 5 o'clock tea. We'll have it right here I'll set the table," and opening two little doors, lower down in his big hat, he stuck his arms thro them and began brurhing off a broad, flat stump near Uncle Wig gily. "The rtump will do for a table," said the Hatter. "This is tfreat. Uncle Wiggily We'll have tea for Alice af ter all. and make things happen as they do in the book. Don't mmd me j saying I was as mad as lollvpops. I l have to be mad make believe, you j know or things wouldn't come out right." i see,' said Uncle Wiggily, remem- bering that it was quite stvlish to be 'as mad as a hatter," tho h never before knew what it meant. "But you see, my dear sir," the rabbit went on. "I have coffee, and not tea." "It doesn't er," said the Hat ter. "I'll boll it in a cocoanut shell, and it will do her very well," and with that he took out, from some where inside his hat, half a cocoanut shell. This he set on top of the stump on a little three-legged stool, and built a fire under It. But you need water to make cof- I mean tea," said Uncle Wig-

1 ie giiy- I have it!" cried the Hatter, and picking up an umbrella plant growing nearby, he squeezed some water from it into the cocoanut shell kettle. Uncle Wiggily poured some of the ground coffee into the umbrella water, which was now boiling, and then the bunny exclaimed: "But we have no sugar!" "We'll sweeten it with the paper that came off the lollypop." said th Hatter, tearing off a bit of it and toss ing it into the tea-coffee. "What about milk?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "Alice may want cream in her coffee I mean tea." "Here we are!" cried the Hatter. With that he picked a leaf from a milkweed plant growing near the flat stump and squeezed out some drops of milk into a cup he made from a Jack-in-the-pulpit flower. "NJw we're all ready for 5 o'clock tea!" cried the Hatter, and just then along came Alice from Wonderland, with the March Hare, and they sat down to the stump table with Uncle Wiggily, who happened to have a piece of cherry pie in his pocket, so they had a nice little lunch after all. And the carrot coffee with milkweed cream in it, tasted just like catnip tea, so everything came out all right. And if the whits shoe s don't go down in the coal bin to play with the fire shovel and freeze their toes, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the Duchess. (Copyright, 1917, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A Case of Bumps. (By John Butler.) It is one of the many mysteries of a great city that two hearts, which Cupid intended fondly to beat for each other, may go for weeks and months and years without any such beating. There was Miss Annette, who came here to the city from Kalamazoo, the celery town of the West, and secured a place as typist and stenographer. She had a heart and Cupid intended that it should beat for somebody, but the weeks went past and she didn't find the man. There was Stephen Douglas, who fmm the town of Yaphank, a trvnrn nn T-oner Island. He secured a place with a firm as cashier and book- I keeper. Cupid had plans concerning I Kronhen He should have a home ana n fiT-osfrix and a loving wife and half a dozen children, pernaps. Rnhfn nored over his books by day and walked home at night, and didn't see anybody who looked like a gin he was to fall in love with. And all this very time Miss Annette and Stephen occupied boarding houses right across the street rrom eacn inn er Tneir hours for going to work and returning were about the same, it, ......or. ana tney Dotn n:tu u. wi. w- -blocks. They both had a front room on the third floor. Thev both ate about the same sort of food. Both landladies kindly saw to it that their Doara oius never run over the week. Cupid was in no great hurry to bring the fond hearts together. He was just waiting for a liUle romance as an excuse. When a fog drives into New York it comes from the rivers on both sides of the citv. It makes a tunnel of every street. it brings a sort of darkness which is worse than darkness. It. chokes the street lamps. It bewilders. It makes every policeman on fixed post seem to be nine feet high, and the fog gets in his throat, and he ha3 to roar -o you when he speaks. You may have crossed a street a hundred times to some designated point on a reasonab.y dark night, but if you try it in a foir vou will go wrong. Miss Annette got home before the fog cam-?, but later on she had to run out to the store a block away. Stephen Douglas also got home in good time but he had to go out later to get some tobacco for his pine, and while these two peopie were busy on their errands the fog drove in, and it was llKe pun- started io go around the block to the left, and Miss Annette started to go around the block, too. They had to go slow; they had to avoid pedestrians. They had to hang to railings and fences. They had just neared the boarding house patronized by Stephen, and the young lady's boarding house was just across the street, when they bumped and the romance bad begun. Of course, there were exclamations and explanations and, of course. Stephen volunteered to escort Miss Annette across the street. She hesi tated an 3 then accepted .his offer. They started directly across and, after five minates of groping, they found themselves down at the corner. That corner was only half a block from either boarding house, but it looked so weary and strange and altered that they could not say that they had ever seen it before. They were acr -as the street, however, and they had only to follow tho sidewalk back. Then there came another trouble. There were three houses just alike, and ou had to get vour nose almost against the doors to tell one from the other Stephen returned across the street, and by ;cod luck he found his own door. It took Miss Annette twenty minutes to find shelter in her own room. It wasn't very extraordinary to bump against a young man in a fog, or for the young man to bump against a young woman, but they both felt that the fond beating of their hearts had begun at last. There had been no introduction, but there was to be one. Your heart can't go ahead and do a lot of fond beating unless you know for whom it is beating. It might be beating for Sarah Brown, when it was intended to beat for Susan Smith. No landlady, however good and noble she is. will ever introduced you to a boarder" in some other landlady's house. It isn't ethics. The one boarder might induce the other board er to leave his happy home, by say ing they had cranberry sauce every night for Minnr at his house. Stephen thought of various ways th bring about an introduction, and it may be that Miss Annette gave the matter some thought, but no introduction had taken place, when Stephen's tobacco ran low, and he had to go around the block another evening. It wonderfully happened that Miss Annette had to go out the some evening. It wasn't foggy this time. But there was a gale of wind on its way from the Rocky mountains to Coney Island. It came like a runaway team. It sent hats and signs flying. It made pedes trians clutch at railings and lamp posts. Stephen was blown off his course half a dozen times, and a great big policeman picked up Miss Annette and carried her half a block and told her to wait for a lull In the gale be fore she attempted to cross the street. After ten minutes she started out, her head down of course, and, bump, she went full against Stephen and the two went down together. There were more exclamations and explanations, but they were blown away as fast as made. They hung to each other, and they finally got across the street and to Miss Annette's door; and there, cowering1 on the steps and talking more to the door than to each other, they exchanged names, and one ran into the house and the other crossed the street. It was, of course, the duty of the young man to call, but Just then he had some extra work to detain him at the office every evening for a fort night. He meant to call. He wanted to call. That loving wife and happy hearthstone were in his mind all the time. They were so much in his mind that he made four and three come to the sum of eight on his books. Stephen hadn't called yet, when a great fire broke out. Just as he was going home one night: It was Just as Miss Annette was going home, too, and they suddenly found themselves in a great crowd. The engines came galloping, men and women came run nin, end. though it was dark, the us ual number of mothers with baby carts -was there. Stephen and Miss Annette bumped against each other. They recognized each other. They smiled, and -then Stephen had the boidness to take her arm and lead her out of that crowd. That's all Cupid had been waiting for. He left her at her door, and without being coaxed at all he said he would call in about an hour, and his old bookkeeping might go hang itself. His fond heart knew whom to beat for. and it beat. So did the one across the street. Stephen called. There had been three bumps, and he did not get another. They didn't say anything that first evening about Cupid bringing them together, but "they realized that he had. They talked of fogs, gales and fires and other Interesting things, and it was six months before Stephen Douglas had his home and fireside, and Miss Annette had her cozy little flat and a good husband.

The Slocan is the name given to the picturesque mining district of south western Canada, that has known the romance of a big boom, the slow tragedy of decline and desertion, and the pulse of renewed prosperity and activity, all within the memory of men still young enough for military service. Twenty years ago the rush was on, and all the mad scramble and lavish spending of Leadville and the Klondike were being re-enacted In Kaslo and Nelson and Sandon and the rest of the little mining camps. In Sandon they boarded over the river to make the single city street, be cause the canyon walls were too steep to lay it anywhere else. Kalso grew over night into a budding metropolis. The drop in silver spelled --temporary disaster to the Slocan, and men who were too impatient to do with less than the hope of a fortune a week poured out as fast as they had rushed in. They left many a deep buried low-grade ore vein behind them for the patient and methodical work of some powerful syndicate to open up and exploit. They threw aside as not worth bothering with the zino ores that the war has almost classed among the precious metals. So the future of the Slocan district may yet be as prosperous and a good deal more solidly founded than its past. There are many lines beside mining which give promise of possible de velopment, but it has always been the lure of quick portable wealth in the shape of gold or silver or dia monds that has led to the opening of far countries. The Spanish con quistadores penetrated what is now our west in search of the seven golden cities of Cibola; the rush of '49 pt California on the map; the Klondike strikes were the beginning of the new Alaska. So with the Slocan; today they are turning to fruit raising and farming on the shores of the magni ficent lakes in the shadows of tower ing mountains; but the early days of the silver rush will always be the most romantic passages in the his tory of the district.

The London item says: The American doctors and nurses, comprising the units from Chicago, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, are being entertained here on a lavish scale this week. Nearly every hour of their time is being demanded by their Eng lish. Canadian and American hosts, who have arranged in their honor many receptions, dinners, teas, thea ter parties and sight-seeing trips." In this party of newly arrived nurses in London, is the first Topekan to engage in war work in France since America entered the fray. She is Miss Louise Kieninger, who went abroad with the St. Louis unit. Miss Klen int?er spent her childhood and early youth in Topeka. She received her eariy education in the Lutheran parochial school and later attended Harrison school. After taking a business course in Topeka, she wetit to St. Louis to study nursing. Later, she was superintendent of nurses in the Answorth hospital of St. Joseph, Mo., and then became superintendent of nurses in a Lutheran hospital in St. Louis. She wrote to her people from aboard the United States ship, St. Paul. May 25. She said in part: This morning I am fine and ready to land. The unit from Philadelphia so we are about l,2oO on the boat. There are a few private passengers. After dinner we come to the deck, then we have chap el at 9:30, and are then off to bed; exercise every morning at 7:30; break fast at 8; French at 10. One of the passengers has been so ill that she says if a C-boat came she would make no effort to ask. "Why us?' The crew has target practice. and we have had drills with our life preservers. We all know our places, and are assigned to boats in squads. We are all calm. There is no danc ing.

Resolutions will start flying to con gress and to the president early to morrow morning from the national prohibition convention now in session in Topeka. At the morning session of the national organization commit tees were apopinted to frame and rec ommend resolutions to be sent to the government in regard to the Lever bill and to especially recommend the por tions of the bill that prohibit the use of the grain supply of the nation for tne manufacture of liquor. A further step will probably be tak en Wednesday in recommending to the government an act refusing grains and products to the allied countries in which the supplies will be used in manufacturing intoxicants. These two resolutions were proposed this morn ing by Rev. P. A. Baker, general sup erintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America in concluding his talk on "Mobilization for a Final Victory." "The work of the prohibition or ganizations of the country will soon be rewarded," according to the Rev. Itaker. "Congress in its statistical in vestigations will verify some of the astounding facts that the anti-saloon leagues have offered." Liquor Trade Increases. His prophecy was realized at the morning's session of the national con gress when the Lever bill was up for discussion and it was revealed that li ouor consumption had been on the increase and had reached a record figure during the last year. A most pleasant future was de scribed by the Rev. Mr. Baker this morning for the prohibitionists. He fdiowed how Seattle, Denver and oth er larie cities of the country, once voting in favor of the liquor traffic, have turned upon demon rum and have deserted th ship of the booze men and at the last elections these were the strongest opponents to the curse. "This will bp true of the nation." Ytf declared, "in years to come when the war cloud has lifted and prohi bition has been in effect as a war measure. The nation will never again he wet, if all prohibition forces can le united and centered on the fight now pending in Washington,'4 he con el uded amid the loudest applause of the convention. 'hurdles were urged to do their part, and in keeping with the gov ernment recommendation, deliver ser mons on food conservation Sunday, July 1. In addition to the sermons a plea was issued asking that churches thru their organizations ask and demand of the congressmen of the state that the nation be made dry during the war. Afternoon Irograni. The atternoon's program included talks by Franklin 11. Berry of Con cordia, on "The Challenge of the Hour." telling of the challenge of the day given by the prohibitionists of the nation to the booze men and of the I Women! Keep Never Let 0 Instantly 1 Few drops stop corn-soreness, then corns and calluses shrivel, loosen and lift out with fingers No pain! The world owes thanks to the ge nius in Cincinnati who discovered freezone. the new ether drug. Small bottles ot he magic fluid can now be had at any drug store for a few cents. You simply apply a few drops of this freezone upon a tender, aching corn or a hardened callus. In stantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose and shriveled that you lift it off with the fingers Not a bit of pain or soreness is felt when anolvina- open declaration of active hostilities during the present war. Rev. John E. Harmon of Salina, president of the Kansas Wesleyan college, spoke at 4:15 o'clock on the work that Kansas will do for international prohibition. G. Edward Kerch of Kansas City, Mo., superintendent of the Kansas City district of the Missouri Anti saloon league, gave one of the most interesting talks of the program this afternoon, on "Missouri and "Prohibi tion." "Missouri will go dry and drier than the proverbial Kansas bone," he said this a.ternoon. "Plans are now being perfected to carry on the most vigor ous prohibition campaign in 1918 ever scheduled in this country. St. Louis, with its millions of dollars of booze will go dry." he prophesied, "and Kan sas City under a good clean political administration will also boost the cause." The hope of the Missouri associa tion, according to Berch, lies in the recognition of the league in the last legislative session of the state, in which the prohibitionists were given the protection of the ballot, which he explained, means that the dry votes will be counted at the next state pro hibition election and an honest vote will be counted. Tonight's program will be furnished by four former governors of Kansas who have promised their co-operation in the national campaign against booze. E. W. Hoch, W. R. Stubbs, W. J. Bailey and George H. Hodges, all former governors of Kansas; and Gov ernor Arthur Capper will be the fea tures of the session. Luncheon Today. Luncheon was served at noon today to the board of trustees of the state league at Pelletier's tea room. Rev. W. J. Herwig, superintendent of the Kansas branch, reported on the work j of the organization during the year, i According to this report Kansas has done more than any other state in the Union for the national cause. She is the pioneer of the prohibition movement and has sent more dry ad vocates to Washington than any other state in the Union. Dr. Sam W. Small, of Atlanta Georgia, veteran temperance warrior, started the convention program Mon day night with a plea to the Kansas association to take the leading part in the fight on booze to be staged in Washington this week. Kansas wai the pioneer and has had .success be yond the dreams of the originators With th experience and (he success of the st:ite it is only logical that Kan sas should carry the leading role of the booze drama. KANSAS" GIRL .SL0ST 16-Yoar-CHd of llcattle Ijjst Seen on ltailroad Tracks. Mystery surrounding an uncanceled letter left on her front porch and the strange disappearance of her daugh ter, Elda May Showers of Beattie, Marshall .county, Kansas, was brought to the attention of Governor Capper today by Mrs. Anna K. Showers, for merly of Holton, now living at 2404 Patten street, St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. Showers has been searching in vain for her daughter for several days, has appealed to the Marshall county auth orities and came to Topeka today to ask Governor Capper for any assist ance he might furnish. The girl is only 16 years of age. Mrs. Showers was working in St. 'oseph and kept her daughter at Beat tie, where the girl was going to school and rooming at a boarding house. Kelatives of Mrs. Showers lived at Beattie. Up until a week ago, Mrs. Showers heard regularly from her daughter. Then, she awakened one morning to find a letter addressed to her in her daughter's handwriting with an uncanceled stamp on it on the front porch. That aroused the mother's sinr.ro- hensions. The letter written by the girl, assured the mother that she was doing nicely but stated that on account of the condition of a woman living in the boarding house at Beattie she could not go to St. Josenh after I closed. Mrs. Showers went to Beattie and tound her daughter had disap peared. The last seen of her was last Monday when she was seen walking, alone, on the railroad tracks. Since then no word has been received from the girl. STATE SPELLErTDONE More" Than 10,200 Volumes Completed at Topeka Plant. The banner day in production of the state printing plant was reached Mon day when 10.212 volumes of the new Kansas Speller were finished. On two or three days of laast week, the output reached 9,900 but the run of Monday was the first to exceed 10,000 volumes since the state began the manufacture of texts. In addition to the completion of this run of school boks, the plant also did a full day's work on the reg ular state printing, in itself no small task as the record for the biennium Just ending shows. The mere statement that 7,300 or 7.400 jobs will be completed before July 1 by W. R. Smith, state printer, does not give an adequate idea of the amount of work done. For instance, fewer than thirty tickets of this num ber represents the school book work for the last year, or a million and a half regular text books and 325.000 penmanship books. A better idea of the volume of textbook work may be ob tained from the fact that in the edition of advanced arithmetic, one of the 27 titles published by the state, there are more than 98 tons, or nearly five ear loads of finished books. The Fifth readers published for this year re quired half this amount of stock and other books in proportion. This On Dresser! Corns Ache Twice i freezone or afterwards.

J. W. King Committed to the State Hospital Today. J. W. King, storekeeper at Elmont, until the tornado scattered his stock over the north half of the county, was adjudged insane by a medical commis sion in the probate court today. He will be taken to the Topeka state hos pital. King spent some time at the state hospital two or more years ago taking treatment for a form of insanity. He was released under the belief that he was cured. His previous attack fol lowed treatment of an ulcerated tooth. He was in a dental office in the Mills building when he became, insane and fled to a Are escape and standing there he kept would-be captors off with pieces of broken glass. Result of Tornado.

"I suppose now they'll go ahead and find me insane," he remarked. And the commission did. QUESTION GOOD FAITH Senator Stone Warns Against Attempt to Rob Treasury, Building Ships. Washington. June 19. Warning against "coldblooded attempts to rob the United States treasury, ennoi Stone today carried, the Donraan Goethals shipping board fight to the floor of the senate "There is an issue there seems be tween General Goethals and Mr. Den man," he said. "General Goethals made contracts at $95 per ton for steel. Mr. Denman turned those con tracts down and made contracts pro posing tentatively contracts at $56. "I am compelled to say that I re joice that such a man as Denman is at the head of the shipping board Price Was Ijeft Open. Stone declared he did not wish to appear to involve Goethals in at tempts to have the government pay too great a price for steel, but declar ed steel companies apparently were trying to do this. He paid he thought Goethal s approval of $9o a ton con tracts did not reddound to Goethals "reputation for efficiency." Senator Smith, Michigan, explained that no matter what tentative agree ments were made now with the steel companies the government would fix the act'i:i prices and these would bo paid. Meantime, he upheld Goethals in the claim that $95 was just a:; good a "working basis" as $50 or any- j thing els?, pending price fixing by the government.

Phone 3653 CUT 0FFA LEG That's What Wife Did to Hus band's Trousers. Her Object Was To Keep Him From Going Out. IN ANSWER TO DIVORCE PLEA Robert Lane Accuses Spouse of Many "Glaring Faults." Says She Whipped Him With Butt End of Whip. When Ethel Lane filed a petition in the district court asking for a divorce from Robert Lane, giving all the reas ons why she should get the decree, it appeared that Robert was a bold, bad man, entirely to blame for all the trouble in the Lane household. The petition of a plaintiff does not contain the defense of the defendant. Robert said nothing until today when he filed, thru his attorney, his answer. Coupled with Mrs. Lane's pe tition it completes the manuscript for the Lane domestic tragedy. Tragedy it is ,but here and there is a line of comedy. Mr. Lane tells inall seriousness of one occasion when his wife completely severed his connections with the out side world, except with his work, by the simple expedient of cutting off a trouser leg attached to his best suit. He also tells of her marksmanship with whatever was convenient when she became angered. On one oc casion, he says, she struck him over the shoulder with a heavy rule, then she hit him with a shoe and the heavy end of a riding whip a ravhide whip, too. Wouldn't Cook Meals. On numerous occasions, he says, he went homo hungry and tired and his wife refused to cook his meals, then when she did relent and cook enough for him to eat he says she made him eat it on a little stool away from thj rest of the family separate and apart he puts it. He says she wouldn't occupy the same room with him and refused to patch his clothes. He had too much firide to expose himself to public aze. he says, and he did his own sewing. After all that comes the climax. There is always a climax to a trag edy. He declares that his wife left him in July, 1916, and went to work in a disorderly house in Holton. Thai being the case Mr. Lane doesn't see where Mrs. Lane has anything on him and he would like to have the con sideration of the court when divorce decrees are handed out BECKER LOSESCASE Jury Gives Fattier of Jesse Weaver ling $1,001) Damages Today. After three nours of deliberation the jury in the second division of the district court brought in a verdict today giving judgment to George R. Weaverling, father of Jesse Weaver lift against Philip Becker for $1,000 because of the death of Jesse Weav erling last fall. Weaverling sued for $10,000.

Under the watchful eyes of the Kan sas retailers holding their annual con vention in Topeka this week, the state welfare commission is holding its reg ular meeting today at the state house. The nine hour day, the max imum and minmum wage and numer ous other questions are being discuss ed by the commission. Many of the retailers are opposed to the recent ni nehour day ruling and that is under discussion by the com- i mission. Numerous other complaints and suggestions from factory owners j and others are being considered by the j commission which will remain in ses-. j j sion for an indefinite length of time, j j HANDLE MUCH OIL Ben Paulen Compelled to Futj on 3 More Inspectors. j Output in State Has Doubled in a Year. Appointment of three additiona1 deputy oil inspectors was announced today by Ben Paulen, state oil in spector. The new inspectors are: F O. Stone, Emporia; Clarence Miller Platte, and Nick Simion, Pittsburg Each inspector receives $125 a month. These appointments make a total of nine oil inspectors in Kansas. No change has been made in the person nel of the six inspectors employed un der the Cumiskey administration and they will be retained as hold-overs for an indefinite length of time. Paulen stated this morning he feared still more inspectors would have to be appointed to cope with the increase in the kerosene and gasoline production of the state and to comply with the new filtration test demanded in a law enacted by the last legisla ture. The carrying out of the old gravity test consumed only two or three minutes while the filtration test takes up nearly an hour, according to Paulen. In addition, the production in Kan sas is increasing by leaps and bounds. For instance, in April, 1916, there were only 49,547 barrels of kerosene tested and 67,332 barrels of gasoline against 54,332 barrels of kerosene and 104, 239 barrels of gasoline in April, 1917. In May, 1916, the tests of kerosene amounted to 50,140 barrels; gasoline, 77,450 barrels, against 55,847 barrels of kerosene and 100,935 barrels of gasoline in May, 1917.

He was in the room when court was called, but his attor ney was not. He explained the situa tion to Judge R. M. Lee. "I think it will be all right to con tinue the case," said the judge. "Thank you, jedge, thank you," from Bee. "I'll set the case for Friday." "Don't do it, don't do it, jedge," spoke up Bee, bowing and scraping like a man apologizing for being alive. "Any day but Friday. I jes nachelly don't lak to go up agin nothin' on Friday." And Judge Lee continued the case until next Tuesday. DOOLITTLE JARS'EM "Those Fighting Food Bill Favor Speculators and German Gov't. Washington, June 19. Such over whelming demands for time to speak on the food bill were made in the house today that leaders on both sides announced they would be forced to hold speeches to a minimum. Rep resentative Doolittle of Kansas, in a stirring defense of the bill, said it was "all teeth and typically a war measure." "There are two sources of objection to this measure becoming a law," he added. "One is misinformation on its provisions and the other lies with food speculators and the German gov ernment.

I RAILROAD NEWS 1 U.S.WILL BUY CARS Plans Launched To Purchase $150,000,000 Rolling Stock. 100,000 Cars Will Be Used in Moving Gov't Supplies. MONSTER FLYING SQUADRCi. Itoads Struggling for Remedy Transportation Problem. 104,917 Cars, 2,209 Engines Are Jiow Under Order. Plana, it is announced, are being fa vorahly considered by the United States government for the purchase of lOO.i'OO freight ears, costing $150, 000.000, for the American railroads. A number of executive of icials of car building companies have been in con ference in Washington with govern ment officials for several days. The proposal to purchase equipment con templates the construction of compos ite liox and gondola cars. They would cost about $1,500 each. ""e rolling stock, immediately upon completion, would be placed upon American railroads in an effort to al leviate the transportation problem which, figures show, is growing more serious every day. The government, It is reported, would lend some of the cars to the roads to move government mipplies, and would use some of them to go into business for itelf as a pri vate car line. Under both policies the cars would serve to the same common nd and would expedite the handling f government supplies. Would Buy lrivate Lines. Government purchase and operation of the ,ast freight lines now operated by private car lines is being advocated liy Fredrick C. Howe, commissioner of immigration of the port of New York. Mr. Howe quotes from the recent re ports of the interstate commerce com mission in an effort to show that the transportation system of the country is breaking down under the strain. He declares alt efforts to mobilize the na tion's resources into one common unit will be for naught if the railroad prob lem is not taken care of immediately. He asserts that the .thousands of freight cars now owned by private companies should be purchased and operated as a "I lying squadron" in or der to demonstrate what can be done in the proper handling of freight. "Units of this 'flying squadron could be distributed where it would be most needed." Mr. Howe asserts. "Perishable commodities would be saved Our people would be fed. Food shortage would be prevented. Fuel could be placed where it is needed, t'ars could be run full both ways. Hates could be adjusted on a basis of service performed rather than to the arbitrary classification now prevail- ing." Car Shortajro Breaks Record. The car deficiency today on Amer- j lean railroads is estimated at 150.000 cars. Not since 1907 has there been 1 a condition that can be compared with the present one. In February of that' year the shortage totaled 137,847 cars.4 The situation s seriousness is suffi ciently great, not so much because of what it is hampering now, but be cause of what is still to come. Freight cars are always more in demand from August to January than at any other time, and, with 6 per cent of the roll ing stock of the country tied up now, the lightest shipping period of the year, it is hard to forecast what will happen when the government sudden ly calls for thousands of cars and crops are ready to be moved. To make things still worse, both these things are scheduled to happen about the same time. Roads Straggle for Remedy. The railroads, despite their many difficulties, have done a great deal in the last eighteen months to try to add to their cars and engines. There have been placed in service since November 1, 1916, 989 engines and 44,053 cars. American roads have now under order 2,209 engines and 104,917 cars. Exec utive officials hope to receive the roll ing stock being built before January 1. If their hopes are realized there will have been placed on American roads during the period from Novem ber 1, 1916, to January 1, 1918, about 148,9 80 cars with an average capacity of fifty tons, and 3,188 engines with an average, tractive power of 54,000 pounds. It cannot be figured, however, that this new rolling stock being obtained by the roads will alleviate to any ex- EXPLAINS CAUSE OF IMPROVEMENT "I Owe It All to Tanlac," Pittsburg Woman Firmly Asserts. Pittsburg, Kfcn., June 18. A few weeks ao, Mrs. Addle Sanders, 604 North House street, this city, was so weak that she couldn't even walk down town. Today she's strong and well as ever. "I owe it all to this new medicine, Tanlac," is her answer to friends who inquire regarding: her remarkable im provement. "For several years my stomach and kidneys have been out of order and I've suffered with rheuma tism, in practically every part of my body. My appetite was poor and noth ing I ate agreed with me. I was so restless and nervous that I couldn't sleep at mtrht. "The rheumatic pains have com pletely disappeared since I've used Tanlac. My kidneys are in better shape now than they've been for years and my stomach is improved. I have a hearty appetite now. can oat anything I care for and the food di gests perfectly. I've gained in strength anr can do my housewok without the least trouble. Yes, sir, I'll gladly rec ommend Tanlac." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, iiwr and kidney trouble, catarrhal com plaints, nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and the like. Tanlac is now being introduced .nd explained in Topeka at Tully-McFar-iand Drug Co.

BUYS NORTH TOPEKA LAND Tract Is 800 Yards Wide and Mile Long for New Topeka Facilities. A strip of land, 300 yards wide and extending a mile west from Jackson street on both sides of the Union Pa ciilc right-of-way in North Topeka, has been purchased by the company. The land will be used for enlarging the yard facilities and to provide more room for the improvements the road is planning to make here. Announcement tnat the Union Pa cific has completed plans to spend $500,000 in "lopeka and include the erection of new passenger and freight depots, was made several weeks ago' in the State Journal. The road's officials are considering the elimination of a 90-mile haul, if it is practicable, by routing freight over the Marysville branch to Marysville, j where it will be taken to the Union Pacific main line at Grand Island over the Grand Island railway, recent ly taken over by the Union Pacific. This will be in connection with the proposed new freight term.nal, an- nounced in the state Journal pre viously, which will probably be lo cated here. ROCK ISLANDERS TO FRANCE. Twenty-Four Experts From Cedar Rapids on Way to War Zone. Twenty-four Rock Island firemen, brakemen, machinists, civil engineers and office men from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, ara on their way to France.

Bush also will take steps to have the low points in the line raised. DELIVER ROCK ISLAND JUNE 24. AU Claims Against Company Must Be Filed by July 14. Property of the reorganized Rock Island railway will be delivered to the stockholders at midnight June 24. AU claims against the company must be filed by July 14. Stockholders who have not deposited their holdings will get an opportunity to do so, it is un derstood. Dividends on both the pre ferred A and the preferred B stock wil! be cumulative after July 1. The reorganization plan calls for the issuance of $65,010,000 new stock in two classes of preferred. Banks nH nthpr crpVUlnra have atrrppd to take, par for par, stock for their debts to the exter' of, approximately. $30, I 0C0.000.

BLAME IT ON CHICAGO Divorce Petition "as Result of Mar riage There," Topekans Say. They were married at Chicago, 0. June 17, 1913, "and as a result they have no children and no property." That appears to be the outstanding fact shown in the divorce petition filed by Alzina K. Kelley in a suit filed in the district court today against W. J. Kelley. It leaves the impres sion that had they not been married the result would have been more for tunate. Mrs. Kelley states that her husband is a Missouri Pacific brakeman. that he has. neglected her, and that unless the court ties up his earnings with a restraining order he will draw them and spend them.

The military tournament of the lo cal Red Cross society has been calleu off, according to a statement made .his morning by Mrs. C. W. Kouns, in charge of the program. The Red Cross campaign that is being staged this week will take all the .oree of the local ;ociety and a pageant of this nature would not be in harmony with the week's prouram, Mrs. Kouns said this morning. The tournament was to be held July 4. The ten-acre lake at the Elmdale camp, belonging to the Y. M. C. A. and being used for the boys' camp of the association, is full for the first time this year. A. H. Tebben, who has been in charge "of the camps held there, reported this morning that the water was as clear and clean as the filtered water in the drinking foun tain. Topeka boys are now attending the camp. Next week the camp will entertain boys from Hutchinson and then those of Wichita. The Mexicans of North Topeka have started living on war time rations and are making their native tortilla, a thin crisp bread, baked in an open Topeka Monday and many more are on their way, according to several "hombres."

Lemons Whiten and Beautify the Skin! Make Cheap Lotion The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re markable lemon skin beautiner at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon Juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as -freckles, shallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautiner. Just try it! Make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, fresh en, and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough, red hands. Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the .lemons. Advertisement. (Copyright, 1917, International Service.

Do All Heavy Toil Ao Men There Except Aged, Decrepit. BV J. W. PEGLER. With the British Armies in the Field, June 19. -If America could know France today moat likely Amer ican young men would flock to her aid by hundreds on every trans-Atlantic boat. The pity of those scores of vil lages behind the lines entirely stripped of able men, with many of the women in deep mourning as they carry on the work of departed soldiers, would appeal more strongly to the pure American than miles of recruiting posters. Hop into a military auto and go for a tour behind the fighting lines, over the ridges from which the wide land scape unrolls itself in its spring splendor. The ride will convince you that the young men of the United States have before them a duty that can't be -shirked without dishonor. The car draws up at a railroad bar rier where stands an elderly soldier of France, disabled in the war and now nn light duty. He passes the car and you roll into the main street. Here are women driving farm wagons, wo men herding sheep, women carrying burdens that would cause a strike of the moving-man's union back home. Children may be seen thru the cottage doors, assuming the burdens of house work. Women and children, no men, except the disabled. It is the war. Women Farm Laborers. Beyond the village your car mounts a ridge. Miles of field are under cul tivation. Women are following the plow or walking down the ridges with one arm swinging as they scatter seed from a bag. Women pass by on the road, leading farm horses. That is a sample and typical of what is to be seen. The French are stoic but thev do need American help to whale the Boche. Their disillusion ment if America should fail would be hard to picture. Their faith is so great in America, the sister republic which honors Lafayette. This is the district behind the lines. Up forward, where the war took to trenches after the Booche retreat there aro prarcely any villages Jeft Civilian inhabitants arc rare. One scene of peace has been found before a French city by the Germans. The British expect to take the place by the pressure of indirect movements, thus sparing the town from bombard ment. If it is destroyed then Tommy will have another score to settle with the Bocho dynamiting squad- Before the town is a flat field of more than a mile. Underfoot are patches of dandelions. It is quiet and peaceful as a May day in Iowa. Over head an aeroplane drones like a lazy bee in its patrol along the sky. Sud denly a battery wakes up at a vague spot and the shells make dark spots against the haze on the German hori zon. The Boche bestirs himself, ev: dently trying to find a British gun. His gun thumps far away, there is r A Colonial Furnace will Save its Cost to You in Fuel and Repairs If you don't own a furnace that gives you greatest economy, you are always adding to the original pur. chase price. On a business basis, that is poor practice. Don't argue that you must have heat anyway, "without respect to cost." The furnace that eats the most fuel, is least de pendable in heat. The more extravagant the upkeep, the less the satisfaction.

Beyond is Vimy ridge which the French fought so hard to take before the Canadians succeeded. Vimv looks down on the Boche lines and far into the German occupied land. The clay soil of the ridge is churned unimaginably. The British are beyond the ridge nowadays and engineers are perfecting organizations behind the relentless advance, xn a huge crater on the crest there remain ed a few dead who had been over looked. They lay in their death pos tures amid their rusting equipment and nearby were a few French tin hats, mementoes of the fight that France made there. The site of the chapel of Notre Dame de Lorette is peaceful now, tho the chapel itself is obliterated. In the old German trench that ran thru the church the French soldier has put up a little plaster of paris group of the Holy Family, inscribed in words of immortal faith: "Groupe de la Sainte Famille de la Sancta Casa de Lorette.

ASSESS HARD HEARTS Hiawatha Will Raise Red Cross Funds by levying Taxes. One hundred members of the ex ecutive, finance and advisory com mittees of the Red Cross campaign workers met Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce and opened the $80,000 Red Cross war fund campaign in Shawnee county. Announcement was- made of preliminary subscriptions amounting to $15,000, nearly me-fifth of the total amount to be raised by the county. The campaign started with a ban quet for the committeemen of the lo cal work, followed by. genuine cam paign talks by Henry Allen of Wich ita and Rev. E. J. Kulp, commander-in-chief of the county campaign. The finance committee will meet each noon during the week at the Chamber of Commerce for lunch and will re port on the progress of the campaign. Need Cold Logic. "The dawn of a new day in Amer ica has come," declared Henry Allen in the opening speech of the program. "The nation has never faced ruin be fore in its history and never before have conditions called for cold, cut ting, unfeeling logic logic that is and has in all other crises found well worn paths leading from the cold facts of logic, he continued. "And now with the dawn of this new day, the American people can see that, those will win who are best fitted to win and that the nation must do what it can to prepare its people. After the nation has done this .then comes the time when the nation's people must come to the front and offei their ser vices, dollars and even their crops," he declared. 31ust Not Be Slackers. "Any man who backs away from supporting the Red Cross is as much a slacker as a man of military agt. who ran away on registration day,"' Henry Allen declared. "The Red Cross association is the one soft and human element in war," according to E. J. Kulp. "It is an international organization that will serve the wounded of even our ene mies with the most tender of care and affection. No longer will the stricken soldier of the nation fall un noticed, but as he reels from the shell fire and falls to the ground, he will feel that he fals into the arms of his nation and that he will be car ried from the field and cared for with the best skill of the world. And the Red Cross society will represent the American people to the stricken sol dier and he will fall into the arms of this society, representing the home of his father and mother." Henry Allen also spoke of the so ciety as the only hpman element of war in his talk. He showed that the government of the country, with its hands more than filled with legal and war questions, could not perform suqh a duty, so kindred to the duties of parenthood. The nation is full of men and women, who not being al lowed to serve their country by bear ing arms, are more than anxious to serve in another way. These will flock to the Red Cross society and contribute dollar after dollar to al leviate the suffering of those who ean serve the nation with their services and perhaps their lives. The neutral organization, as the Red Cross, will do more and care for more than any representatives of the warring nations. This was his second argument of why the Red Cross is bet ter fitted to serve for the wounded than the government itself. In Other Wars. The work of the Red Cross asso ciation has in the Civil war and in the Spanish-American war proved more eflicient and etfectual in this service than the government, according to Henry Allen. The duties of the organization on the battle lront will widen and widen. From giving their time, s lei 11 and en ergy for the comfort of the soldiers, the Red Cross society will in time held to rebuild the devastated countries of Belgium and France. Actual work on the pledging started this morning with a great response. Actual figures for the morning's col lections were not available. The out look, tho, according to team captains is more than optimistic. The $80,000 should be raised in three days, they state. Persons wishing to contribute, or those who feel the duty of giving to the cause, should not wait to be solic ited by the workers," Ir. Kulp said this morning. "The headquarters for the work will be maintained at the Chamber of Commerce and contribu tions may be mailed to the offices." i 1 !f!!!Bl!!l!B!lim;ill!W!il!li!ilBJiffl Hear the Edison Diamond Disc We Give JWf Green Stamps Comfort SLoes For Summer ArVear HELP THE Miss CMNDOGER LAST n m its: e, ED yMFl RED CROSS LZSil CROSS OPEN SLACKER TRIALS One Defendant Ts Kditor of Socialists State Organ Bare a German Plot.
