Just after successful completion of a tremendous Red Cross campaign for the soldiers of the country, the local recruiting office today reportea mai Topeka is far behind in the enlist ments apportioned to it by the war department. Nearly every city of the state oversubscribed in the campaign. but few have furnished tne soiaiers on which to spend the money already collected. According to figures reported this morning. Topeka needs 205 recruits before the full quota is reached. The war department set the quota for To peka at 321 enlistments and only 110 have been received. Kansas must fur nish 3.3S0 recruits and as yet has re ceived only 2,818 successful appli cants. The call for 70,000 volunteers is sued last week states that from every thousand of population, seven recruits should be secured. Kansas has fallen far below this mark and has only five days to reach the quota. A special recruiting program is now in the hands of the governor awaiting his approval. In case the state fails to secure the number of recruits assigned to it by the war department and by the presi dent, it must furnish just the number it is short of the quota in addition to those chosen in the selective draft.

Premier's Hoped for Suppres sion of Uprising Not AchieTed. Madrid, June 26. The government yesterday decided to suspend the con stitutional guarantees. Premier Dato went to the palace to obtain the king's signature to the decree authorizing the suspension. The ministers explained that wide spread political intrigues ne cessitated this step, in effect estab lishing martial law thruout the na tion. London, June 26. The decision to suspend constitutional guarantees in Spain was reached at a special meet ii.g of the cabinet yesterday. It goes into effect today. Dispatches from Madrid give no special reason for this action. The constitution guarantees have been suspended several times since the outbreak of the war and were restored only recently. It is as sumed that the crisis thru which the country is passing is not developing as favorably as Premier Dato hoped. The cabinet headed by Marquis Prieto resigned on June 9 because of inability to cope with the various in ternal difficulties confronting the country. Widespread labor troubles, high prices of necessities, the cutting o.i a targe part or the country's ex port trade by the submarine campaign leading to industrial depression: dis satisfaction in the army and irritation over persistent pro-German propa ganda combined to produce a danger ous situation. At times there has been fear for a revolutionary move ment. The new Dato cabinet was formed on June 12. Subsequent press dis patches from Madrid said the situa tion had improved considerably and that the crisis had been passed. The new premier, while appreciating the fact that very grave problems con fronted the government expressed con fidence that they were not beyond solution. KAN.

In 1914 it was J57.300.000. This year's huge total is attributed to gold imports from the allies to meet war bills and also to abnormal local receipts.

We have never realized this before but now the idea is be ginning to dawn on us.

And now we must punish this criminal nation," he near ly shoutod. "Let the kaiser stand up his trained fighting automatons. We will shoot them, kill them and march to victory, flying the flug of peace and freedom from the very portals of the criminal nation." Then came the talk of the cam paign itself. The Rev. Mr. Kulp gave ah eloquent dirft-ertation about the dollar and its message. "A dollar is not a sordid thing," said he. "It is the message of the dollar that counts. It may be blazing with the burning fire of hate or it may be shining with the light of love and sympathy. The tingle of the dollar, too, takes an a not her tune. It may be clinking with a tune of a hymn for common good or it may be jangling to the tune of hatred and misuse. Dollars of lied Cross. 'These dollars in the neutral cof fers of the Red Cross will sing a song of happiness, of comfort and of cheer. They will sound the death knell of the dynasties of the world and they will ning the song of resurrection to th- wounded soldiers. 'Then. too. thes same dollars made into plowshares, will plow a path across the ocean, a path of safety and a path of commerce. Then they will, also, plow the lands of Kurope to re ceive the seeds of democracy." As the meeting drew to a close, the 150 workers realized that thanks were due generally- The leaders of the Red Oiisj campaign, the Rev. Dr. Kulp, D. W. Mulvane, Horace Hall and H. D. Curtis, were all thanked. Then in turn the leaders thanked the captains f r tr.' ir co-operation and service and then the captains passed the vote of thanks to the workers of each team.

It was announced that the local chapters of the union, of Topeka had been canvassed and money pledged while more would be secured as soon as the unions held a regular meeting to take action. The Pullman car company has wired to the local workers and an nounced that it will pledge $1,000 to the work.

And again, those opposed point out that under the house amendment even household dainties and children's de lights are threatened because vanilla, lemon and orange extracts could not be manufactured even for flavoring, cooking, ice cream, soda, candies and cake. In addition to the prohibition fight the food bill was threatened from another angle. There is an effort on. foot to overload the measure so it cannot move. Senator Reed, Mis souri, and numerous others say that if food is controlled, steel, oil, cloth ing, everything from a sack of pea nuts to farm Implements, must be controlled. Amendments designed to accomplish this are in reserve. Carries Ancient Bills. Already the measure is carrying some superannuated measures such as the Walsh oil land leasing bill, which has been before the senate five years. and the preferential routing bill, pass ed by the senate some time ago. With this tangled skein to unravel, the senate agriculture sub-committee met early today to redraft the House bile, it was hoped this committee would be able to report out to the full commute tomorrow and that the bill would be on the floor for a finish fight late Wednesday or Thurs day. The house dry amendment will be rewritten to clarify it, but will not be changed, according to present com mittee plan. TOPEKA TO GET (Contlnnefl from Page One with your aid now, Belgium will rise asin. In Toneka the mission will tell the story of Belgium. They will tell what the train load of food irom Kansas meant to thousands of their starving countrymen. Several members of the mission speak Knglish, altho Baron Moncheur is the recognized spokes man. Several of the generals who nave participated in the nation's brave defense of liberty and independence are in the party. It is probable all members of the mission who recently came to the United States will make the western tour. Work Out Program. Members of the Kansas delegation in Washington have been active in as sisting in working out the program for a big meeting in Topeka. Reports from Washington indicated that a change might be made in the itinerary completely eliminating Kansas from the schedule. Persons in toucn witn the personal desires of members of the mission, however, are confident that Baron Moncheur and his party will urge especially the Topeka stop. It is their desire to express to Kansas in person the appreciation of little Belgium that the Topeka visit is so strongly urged. May Pass Up Kansas. Word received from Santa Fe offi cials in Washington today that the Belgian commission, which Topeka expected to entertain, had arranged a schedule in which Kansas was not included caused J. Will Kelley, secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce, to wire again to Senator Curtis at Wash ington. Mr. Kelley received a wire Saturday from the Kansas senator saying he had exacted a promise from the state department that the Belgian com- :sion would visit Topeka on its western tour. The information received from the Santa Pe today was to the effect that the commission would go direct from Denver to Omaha without touching Kansas. Mr. Kelley asked Senator Curtis to ascertain if the information were correct. "If the commission really desires to pay homage to the states that ex tended the greatest aid to Beierinm in her hour of need,. its members can't ovenooK Kansas." said Mr. Kelley.

Thousands of those fateful gold bands the groom fumbles in his pocket and brings forth at the altar are being shipped all over the country from manufacturing jew elers here today in anticipation of the rush of war weddings expected to ac company draft of America's "first 600,000." An excursion today among the pur ple velvet trays of Maiden Lane, the greatest jewelry manufacturing center in the world, revealed this. The fac tories are working overtime to keep pace with the demand. There has been no indication of a shortage in the regular crop of June weddings, but thousands of youths "betweer. the ages of 21 and 30 inclusive" are wait ing for the draft to take or leave them, so they may either marry and go to war or marry and take a chance on the second draft.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, June 20. WHEAT Some re newal of uncertainty as to the outcome of food legislation in Washington tended to day to give an appearance of strength to the wheat market. Trade, however, was so small that efforts to trace general causes of fluctuations proved difficult. Opening prices; which varied from unchanged fig ures to lc higher with July nominal and September at $1.85 to $1.86, were followed by a moderate upturn aud then a setback to yesterday's closing level. Reports that farmers in Texas were be binniug most of their wheat as soon as It w-as threshed attracted notice, but were more than offset later by word that cutting of wheat had started at several places in Kansas. The cloae was steady lc net lower, with July at $2.09 aud September at $1.84. CORN Corn- declined sharply owing to better weather for the growing crop. Spec ulative traders pressed the selling aide. After opening yc to 2c lower the market underwent au additional sag. Assertions that neutral countries might not be allowed to take out any of the corn they had bought in the- I'nited States led to a further drop, the cloae was heavy at losses, 214c to 3c net.

Since the Bovernment ship building program has been fairly launched a question has arisen regarding who is to man the new vessels. If they are 1 i he manned by foreigners probably there will be no great difficulty. Ger ninny is depriving sailors on merchant vessels of Jobs faster than we can provide them. But It seems desirable that the new shipping should be manned by Americans. To do this, however, probarjly will be impossible. The United States mercantile marine has been so small in the asgregate for many years that there has been little incentive for American young men to enter upon a seafaring life. There is certain to be a terious lack of competent officers in consequence. Only one nautical school is maintained in this country. It turns out about 100 graduates a year. It is estimated that the new merchant fleet will re- quire the services of 60,000 trained men. The federal department of justice has ordered Drydale wiped out. It is safe to predict that it will become dry in fact as well as in name. One fed eral official can accomplish more in this line than an army of state's attorneys. Again General Goethals has won a victory over the knockers. He has the backing of the president, who after all is the responsible man in the prose cution of the war. He also has the hacking of the press and the public. The obstructionists must get off the track. The crown prince of Germany one more has been butting his ivory head gainst the French stone wall. He seems to have learned nothing at Ver dun. If reports ot food shortages in the belligerent countries of Europe have no firmer foundation than similar re ports regarding this country, the war ring nations are a long way from starvation. There is an abundance of food here and has been all the while. All that is needed is some sort of gov ernment action that will enable the people to get at it. The Atchison man who started to walk to Germany to kill the kaiser is saiil to be insane. If wanting to kill the kaiser be construed as an evi dence of insanity it may be necessary to increase the capacity of the asy lums. The announcement that the liberty loan was oversubscribed more than a billion dollars should bring a feeling of patriotic satisfaction to every American citizen. More than 4.000. 000 persons responded to the call. Adequate financing of the war is as sured. There can be no doubt that another loan will be taken Just as readily when It shall be offered. If there are any slackers among those who should pay taxes in Atchi son county they would better take to the woods. The Globe ;s printing a list of all those who have made re turns of personal property with the amounts set opposite their names. It seems strange that some Kansas legis lature has not passed a law requir ing the publication of these lists an nually in every county. Probably the omission la due to the fact that no body thought of it. Up to this time nobody has ascribed the unusual number of tor nadoes this year to activity of the agents of the kaiser. "Today finds the United States dan gerously apathetic and oblivious to the acute peril which threatens them." said Pomeroy Burton of the London '.Mail, in an address to the Rotary con tention in Atlanta. What would Mr. Burton have? The people are re sponding promptly to every call of the government. We probably have accomplished much more In the di rection of putting up a good fight than England had at a like period after her entry into the war. It seems apparent, says the Atchison Globe, that nothing the administra tion does in the 'war Is going to be satisfactory to the kaiser or J Bris- tow. The treasury asked the people for two billion dollars and they offered It morn thai three billions. CTRTIS SATED THE DAY. Under the caption. "Curtis of Kan sas," John Temple Graves, in the Chi cago Examiner, tells how the Repub lican senator from Kansas defeated the administration's press censorship plan as follows: Curtis of Kansas Charles is his baptismal name is the Republican whip" or the United States senate. He holds his seat and his responsible party commission honorably, sUily and well. He is esteemed and trusted bv both sides of the at'gust assembly and liked by everybody. Newspaper men and the lovers of free speech can never forget what Curtis did in that long-drawn wrangle over the unspeakable folly of "Clause C" of the censorship bill, The rigm for a free press had grown tense in the senate. The stamp of the admin istration held the majority ot .Demo crats in line. The Republicans, free of executive loyalty, were standing in the main for free speech. Johnson, of California, had been chosen to lead opposition to the obnoxious clause, ine Progressive element was with him. The roll was called on Johnson's mo tion. Before the vote was announced it was known in the press gallery that the vote was a tie. The amendment seemed lost unless the vice president voted against the president an im probable thing. Curtis swiftly mo ttonel for the pair clerk of the minor ity, and then hurried over to Senator Fernald. of Maine. Fernald received the recognition of the chair, and an nounced a transfer of his pair, which would allow him to cast his vote for the Johnson amendment. Just the mo ment before the official announce ment. i( The Republican whip had saved the day for a free press. He knew what to do, and was there to do it. The allies' losses of merchant ship ping thru the activity of the German divers is heavy but Germany has lost more than half of her ocean tonnage since the outbreak of the war. mostly by means of confiscation. CONGRESS AND THE PIIKSS. There seems to be particular animus against newspapers among a certain type of legislators and officials at Washington. Over a dozen different newspaper taxes have recently been introduced into congress, not to speak of other burdens and impedimenta in- tended apparently to punish as well as to hamper American Journalism. Among; the burdens proposed or im- j posed are double postnee rates, zone! postage, an increase of cent per pound on second class matter, a tax on advertising, a 10 per cent duty on j paper, a tax on paper freights, a tax on papers sent by express, a tax on j telegraph and telephone messages, a tax on excess profits, stamp taxes, j tree government publicity, etc.; all these in addition to federal, state and municipal taxes and various state lia bility and insurance laws. It is doubtful, says the New Tork Journal of Commerce, If there is any other field of industry, unless it be the railroads, which has been threat ened with such an accumulation of confiscatory burdens as that of Jour nalism. It Is not necessary to affront the in telligence of the common reader by explaining to him the value of his daily periodical. It is the prerogative of every reader to abuse his daily pa per, and this prerogative he unfailing ly exercises,' to the benefit of the newspaper craft which gladly profits by his habitual criticism. The reader, however, often forgets or does not even know that he Is a constant bene ficiary of the newspaper; not merely by the public movements which it helps and tha problen.s which it aids In solving on his behalf, but also by the fact that he pays much less for his daily paper than it actually costs. Very soften he does not pay one-half or even one-third its cost, and in many Instances not even that of the white paper on which it is printed. In no other industry the world over is the product sold every day of the year far below the cost of production. And yet this is the Industry, already yielding great public service, that our brilliant congressmen select to tax more severely than any other; to tax to the point of destruction; to tax until the legitimate channels of Information and public opinion are dried up, and until free speech is throttled more ef fectually than by any possible degree of censorship. Newspapers are only too eager to do their bit for the nation, war or n- war. Today they are energetically doing their full share by solidifying the na tion and stimulating the people in this great war crisis. American newspa pers have shown a splendid spirit of patriotism at no material advantage to themselves, notably in the liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns, whose ex traordinary success would, have been impossible without energetic and ca pable newspaper support. And yet our legislators persist in doing their ut most to cripple institutions which are absolutely necessary, not only for the distribution of sound public opinion, but for preservation of the nation and successful prosecution of this law. Without their support. It would un questionably prove a failure. The newspapers are also perfectly willing, in fact only too ready, to pay their full share of taxes. Neverthe less, they strenuously object to being singled out for unjust discrimination. The newspaper industry is cot univer sally prosperous, it Is so only in spots, and these are not numerous. The war, it is true, stimulated newspaper circulation,' and at the same time in creased losses from this growth. In addition, the newspapers have been obliged to meet tremendous increases In cost of production; costs which are likely to rise to still higher levels, and which are making heavy inroads into advertising gains. Not a few news papers would have been taxed com pletely out of existence had the pro posed regulations and taxes of ignor ant legislators been put into effect. KNITTING FDR OUR SAILORS THE TnPF.RA STATIC JOl'RSAL INFORMATION BDKEAC By Frederic J. Haskln. Ulrecter Waohiaxton. I. C Washington, June 28. The com forts committee of the United States f N ivy league Is working to supply our sailors, marines and coast guard men with knitted articles to help keep them warm while they pursue the elu sive submarine. As there are about 200.000 men to be supplied, the help of women thruout the country is so licited by the Navy league. At the headquarters of the com forts committee at Washington there is a show window plied with khaki colored bundles of knitted articles ready to be shipped to the marines Inside are more bundles, gray this time, for the sailors. Each gray bun dle contains a sleeveless Jacket, a muf fler, wristlets and a helmet; it rep resents part of some woman's share toward solving t e war relief prob lem. As the needs of the marines are somewhat different, a marine's package contains a sleeveless Jacket, n linen handkerchief, a waterproof pouch and a sewing kit. The comforts committee campaign has the approval rf Secretary Daniels and of naval officers thruout the country, many of whom have written to the Navy league to express their appreciation of the work. In his or e'er authorizing the use of the com mittee's output for the sailors Secre tary Daniels said: "The men of the navy could gladly use certain articles of comfort which are not supplied by the government. These are princi pally knitted articles to keep them warm during severe weather and when engaged in exposet" work in small boats, such as picket work, mine laying, submarine service and patrol boat service." Our navy has often been termed a warm weather navy, because it has spent its winters in southern waters and its summers no farther north than Newport or Bar Harbor. But now, the navy faces the prospect of a win ter in the North sea and the North At lantic. Our heavy-hulled battleships keep their crews warmer, but the men on the smaller craft are feeling the chill even in June. In a letter home, an officer on a destroyer writes: "I am wearing every article of clothing I possess and the ice is caked on me." Destroyer crews are most in need of the warm clothing, and have been outfitted first by the comforts, com mittee. Now our other sailors are be ing supplied. The navy department has asked for an appropriation of J4. 500,000 to be spent on heavier uni forms for its men, but naval officers state that any amount of warm cloth ing can always be used. Since the comforts committee cam paign started, March 15, it has fur nished 6,000 sets, representing a cash value of approximately J13.000 ex pended in materials. Five thousand sets among a total of 200,000 men seems small enough at first glance; but when it is considered that the work Is in its first stages, and that women all over the country are busily knitting, it looks as tho there might eventually be enough jackets and hel mets to go around. Nearly every state is represented bv at least one unit. One hundred and thirty units have beeJh organized in New York City alone. Even certain newsboys have found that a man can knit a scarf without losing his manly dignity, and are saving pennies to work for the cause. The sales of wool at the New Tork branch head quarters average $1,000 a day, enough wool to outfit 360 men. A battleship, having a complement of about 1,000 men, is assigned to a state unit, usually the state for which the battleship is named. A cruiser is assigned to a city of the same name if possible, and a destroyer or sub marine to any umaller unit. For in stance, the sections of the state of Delaware are supplying articles for inc uauicMup jeiaware, ior tne ae stroyers Jacob Jones, Macdonough, and du Pont (which are named for three of Delaware's naval heroes), and for the Eagle which was built in a Delaware shipyard. The sections are put in touch with the vessel's commanding officers who name the specific articles most needed by their men. Any group of women or girls who wish to form a rnit have only to write to the Navy League Headquar ters, 1201 Sixteenth street. Northwest, Washington, D. C, stating the amount of work they will do in three months. The money to pay for materials Is col lected by the group, and yarn and needles are purchased from the com mittee at cost. lull directions are furnished by the league. In cities where the commitee has branch head quarters instructions in knitting may be obtained from women who offer their services as teachers. In every case a record is kept, showing the name of the purchaser, amount of wool purchased, and the use to which it is to be put. This is necessary because the committee found itself selling materials to wom en who had no intention of helping the sailors, but merely wished to secure materials cheaply for private use. When the articles are turned in at headquarters, they are given to wom en who finish and strengthen the edges. Before a finished set can be shipped, it must he .passed by an in spector. If it is not well enough made for the sailors it is ripped out and made over; if it is not made ac cording to the standard, it may be sent to a man In the mosquito fleet where there are no rigid regulations as to equipment. The designs of the comforts committee articles are ap proved by the navy department: and for this reason the committee can send to the navy nothing but gar ments made on the accepted lines. If the work passes the test, it is folded Into a small bundle, with the jacket as a wrapper for the smaller articles, and Is ready for shipment. Lest this project of knitting tor the n vy might seem to involve an un due amount of time and labor, it should be stated that the set of arti cles provided could not be manufac tured for $2.75, th cost of a set at th wholesale rate of the committee, anl manufactured articles could not be so strongly made. Knitting ma chines have been tried out by the committee, but they are expensive and at best are satisfactory for knitting only certain articles. Without slacking up on Its main line of work, the comforts committee is now planning to collect newspaper and magazine clippings for the navy. On a battleship there is always read ing matter for the crew, but the press news is necessarily of national rather than local interest. The idea of the committee is to supply the men with news from home, and by careful selec tion to furnish some material of in terest to every man on board. An other plea for this particular type of reading matter for the sailors is that magazines and newspapers are hard to dispose of when a man is suddenly called on duty, while an article or magazine story with the pages fas tened or clipped together can be slipped inside of blouse or pocket to be finished later. Details of the new plan have not been outlined, but the committee expects to send out a pouch of clippings each week to every ship in the navy. This is a phase of war aid to which so many people can con tribute that the Navy league feels as sured of its success. In the meantine. considering that t!ie knitted outfits of the committee see hard service and must be replaced frcm time to time, there is work mapped out for all who can report for duty with a knitting needle in one hand and a ball of wool ,in the other.

Turkish Towel. Turkey exports more towels than any other country which is largely because the average Turk has no use for a towel himself. When the first Turk made a towel he couldn't imag ine what to do with it so he sold it to a tourist and in this way the Turk ish towel industry arose. A Turk has no patience with a towel. As soon as he makes one he wants to have it out of his sight. He doesn't mind Turkish rugs and he will even smoke a Turkish cigaret but a Turk ish towel gets him going. The lead ing feature of a Turkish towel is that you can dry yourself on both sides which makes it of special value. Operating a Turkish towel is quite a knack and most people develop their own styles of play. A man can get more vigorous exercise after a morn ing bath In drying his back with a Turkish towel than, in hustling trunks. The onry objection to Turk ish towels as an exercise is that it doesn't get you out in the open air. Huppy Thought. Look after the Job and the Joys will look after themselves. Oh!

What has become of the old-fashioned woman who frequently referred to her husband as a cross-patch) By giving credit to a man you are not only accommodating him but stand a good chance of making an enemy of him. Dorothy Dix Says BT DOROTIIT IX World's HI cheat Paid Woman Writer At What Age Should a Man Marry. A young women write me a letter in which she asks me at what age a man is likely to make the best hus band. This is a question that is impossible to answer by the calendar. It de pends upon the individual man. Some men are easiest domesticated if caught while young and tender. Oth ers can never be tamed until age and rheumatism make them feel that they would like to eat out of a good, kind, motherly wife's hand. And there are other men who can never be thoroly house-broken at any age. Generally speaking, however, a pru dent woman who desires to be happy, tho married, will avoid the two ex tremes of age in selecting Her hus band, and will say "no" to both young Romeo and tottering Grandpa when they come a -wooing. Of course there is no denying that there is something peculiarly appeal ing and alluring in a boy's lovemak ing. He is so impassioned, so deadly in earnest, so convinced that love is the only thing in the world, and that no human being in the whole history of humanity ever experienced the same emotions that are surging thru his soul, that It is no wonder if a foolish girl is swept off of her feet by it, and lets him persuade her to make the fatal journey to the aitar with him. Alas. It is the undoing of both of them. Cold statistics show that most of the marriages that end in divorces began in calf love romance and were entered into by boys and girls who were too young to know their own minds or what they really desired in a life partner. Common observation bears out the danger of early mar riages, especially the marriages of boys. It is a sinister and significant fact that in almost every scandal in which a married man and a woman figure you will find out that the man mar ried when he was a mere lad. Also when you see a faded, washed our, neglected woman sitting alone at home while her good looking and fascinating husband roams around in society, and is pitied by all who know him fof being tied to a dowdy wife whom he has outgrown, you will ascertain, if you investigate, that he picked her out when he was an un formed boy and is spending his ma turity repenting his salad days' tastes. There are no such unfaithful hus bands as those who qualified in the husband class too young. The truth is that nothing equals the ease with which a boy can fall in love, except the facility with which he can fall out of love. Youthful passion in a masculine breast is fierce flame that burns itself out so completely it doesn't even leave a cinder on the heart's hearth to remember the girl by. The kind of a girl a boy adores in the early twenties bores him in the late thirties. This is the case whether he is married to her or not. That is why a woman is nothing short of an imbecile to trust her fate to a man before his tastes are formed; before he has seen enough of womQn to know what he is doing when he selects ope for keeps, and especially before he has tasted enough of romance to have had his fill of it, and to be will ing to settle down to a daily diet of the domestic brew. Another reason why a girl is taking a long shot at happiness if she marries a very young man is because a boy is almost invariably selffish, undisci plined and egotistical. He lacks the patience to bear with another's faults and weaknesses; the wisdom to steer the matrimonial ship into a safe port, and when he finds out that marriage doesn't mean billing and cooing, but bills and bad cooking, and heavy re sponsibilities, why, he's mighty apt to turn surly and grouchy and blame his wife for the hardships he has brought down on his own head. He's just too young and weak lo bear the load he has shouldered, for matrimony is a grown man's Job, not a boy's- But if a young boy makes a selfish and tyrannical husband, an old man makes a worse one. Never was there less truth in any adage than the one about it being better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave. The young woman who marries an old man in the fatuous belief that she is going to be able to twist him around her little finger, finds out that she has made the mistake of her life, par ticularly if he is an old bachelor. He is encased from head to foot in a life time of selfishness that she can no more break thru than she could break thru armor plate. He has habits fifty or sixty years old that make his char acter about as pliable as granite, and that he could not change if he would, and he wouldn't for any living woman. Moreover, the old man is old. He has exhausted all of the pleasures of youth. He's tired. His old bones yearn for the comforts of red flannel, and the chimney corner when night comes, instead of the fox trot and draughty theaters and ball rooms. He wants health food instead of lobster Kewburg for, dinner, and he expects any chit of a girl he marries to fall into his ways. At his time of life he isn't going to bother to change them to please her. So the girl who had expected to be an old man's darling finds herself his slave and nurse instead, with always the barrier of age between them that grows higher and higher as he sinks into senility and she approaches her full maturity. What then, is the best age at which to capture a husband? When he is around thirty. He is then man grown. He has then come to himself, and taken the measure of his desires in a wife, and the one whom he picks out may rest satisfied that he will not tire of her or cease to love her. He has seen too many pretty faces to marry just for the sake of a dimple that the first spell of sickness will wipe out, or a curl that will lose its gloss with the passing of a few years. A man of thirty, or thereabouts, thinks of something else besides a wo man's looks when he marries her. He 1 considers her soul, her mind, her heart, the sort of companionship she can give him, and the kind of a help meet she will be to him, and marriage founded on that kind of a basis never fails. The man of thirty has also had time enough to establish himself in busi ness and to acquire an income that keeps the wolf reasonably far from tha door. And that is essential to a woman's happiness. The woman who marries a man before he Is financial ly able to marry does both himself and him an irreparable injury. The man of thirty is old enough to be guide and mentor to his wife, and young enough to be sympathetic with her. His character is still plastic so that he can adjust himself to the per sonality of another and an altered way C- living. He becomes, fluid in the aCT e"-lr rvzr -a- vw- i i hVittVJ' Jk-JtT Sii.S fifiii...ri,ffl,.ifMLJUis melting pot of matrimony and out of suh material is moulded the perfect husband. Therefore, girls, in choosing a hus band, pick out one who is not too young and not too old, but just a happy medium. (Copyright. 1017. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc. DINNER STORIES Some people there are who have a peculiar dislike for the men who oc cupy certain positions. There is the chap who can't stand the sight of a policeman, for instance; others are driven to a state bordering on insanity if a eabman dares to address them. With Mr. Narker it was barbers. He hated the whole tribe of hairdressers, and he didn't hide his hate under any bushel, either. However, he possessed a certain amount ot hair, and, as he could not cut it himself, he wai obliged occas ionally to resort to the den of a mem ber of the hated clan. A few days afro he entered a hair dresser's establishment, and with a surly "Hair-cut-and-quick-about-it," sat down in a chair. Now, the barber was a chatty fellow, as is the custom in his trade, and he did not know N'arker. After a few preliminary touches he ventured on a remark. 'Hair very thin on top, sir," he said. "Very glad to hear it!" grunted Narker. "Hate fat hair myself." And the barber never smiled again. A certain milkman was in the habit of watering his milk to the required consistency before starting on his rouqds in the morning. One day recently, by some unlucky chance, the man omitted to do so. but, to his joy, he discovered at the first house he .-filled at a huge cask, strongly banded with iron, and filled to the brim with water, the head hav ing apparently just been taken off. Such a chance of repairing his neglect was too good to be lost, and the milkman haJ. Just succeeded in watering the milk most satisfactorily when the figure of the master of the house appeared in the doorway and a voice asked sweetly: "Are you sure you've put in enough, my man?" Poor John was petrified. "If I were you," continued the voice, "I should have chosen some other cask. My doctor has ordered me a course of sea water baths, you know, and you Jiave just mixed your milk with salt water. But perhaps your customers like it that way." mm BLINDED Copyright. 1917, International News Set 1 Bedtime Stories BY HOWARD B. CAEIJ Uncle Wiggily and the Magic Bottles. Uncle Wiggily Longears, the rabbit gentleman was hopping along thru the woods one morning after having eaten breakfast in his hollow stump bungalow, when, just as he reached a nice, grassy place, near a spring of water, he saw the little flaxen-haired girl. Alice from Wonderland, coming toward him. Oh, I'm so glad to see you!" cried Alice. 'You are lust in time to win the first prize." She handed the gentleman rabbit a little bottle, filled with what seemed to be water, and stoppered with a blue cork. "First prise for what?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "For getting here early," answered Alice. 'And you also get second prize, too," anl she handed him another bot tle, stoppered with a red cork. "Why do I get second prize?" asked the bunny. "For not being late." answered Alice with a smale. "It is very simple. First prise for being early, second prize for not being late." "Hum:" said Uncle Wiggily, sort of scratching his pink, twinkling nose, thoughtful like. "It's much the same thing, it seems to me." "Not at all," said Alice, quickly. "The prizes are very different. Those bottles are magical. They are filled with water from the pool of tears. If you drink a few drops from the one with the blue cork you will grow very small. And if you take some of the water from tho red-stoppered bottle you will grow very large. He careful of your prises." "I will," promised Uncle Wiggily. "Are there any others coming?'- he asked, looking about thru the trees. "Any others coming where?" in quired Alice. "Here. I mean, might they have gotten prizes, too "No, only you," said the flaxen haired girl. "You were the only one expected." "But." spoke the puzzled bunny rabbit, "if 1 was the only one expect ed, what was the use of giving prizes? No one else could have gotten here ahead of me." "Fiease don't ask me." begged Alice. "All I know Is that it's one of the rlcidlcs like those the March Hare asks, such as 'What makes the mirror look crooked at you The answer ts It I'cesn't if you don't. In this case you get the prizes because there is no one else to give them to. So take them and have an adventure. I have to go see what the Duchess wants." w un xnai Alice raaea away nice the Cheshire Cat. beginning at tier head and ending op at her feet, the lat things to go being the buttons on her shoes. "Well." said Uncle Wiggily to him self, "I have two prizes, it seems, of magic bottles. I wonder what I am to do with them?" He looked at the red and blue cork ed bottles, holding one in each paw, and he was wondering whether it would be best to grow small or large, when, all at once he felt himself vice. caught from behind by a pair of big claws, and, looking over his shoulder, as best he could. Uncle Wiggily saw that he was held fast by a big alli gator; a skillery-scalery chap with a double-jointed tail that he could swing back and forth like a pantry door. "Ah, ha! I have you!" gurgled the 'gator. "yes, I see you have!" said Uncle Wiggiy, sadly. "You thought you and Father Wil liam would fool me bv standing on i your heads so I couldn't tickle your reet, went on the gctor, as I call htm for short. "But I got down out of the tree, and here I am. I have you now and you can't get away from me!" Indeed it did seem so, for he held Uncle Wiggily very tight and fast in his claws. "What are you going to do with me?" asked the rabbit. "Take you home to my den, and my dear little foxes. Eight, Nine and Ten." said the alligator. "Foxes!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "Have you foxes?" "I have," anwspcred the alligator. "I am knepln tho muntil their father gets back from a hunting trip, and I they arc very hur.rry. Their father is the fox who went out 'in a hungry plight, and he bepsed of the moon to give him light., for he'd many miles to go that night, before he could reach his den-O. "Oh, now I remember," said Uncle WigRily. "It's in Mother f?ooee." "Yes, and so is the rest of It," went on the alligator. 'At last the fox reached home fo his den, and his dear little foxes, Eight, Nine, Ten.1 Those are their names, tho they sound like numbers," said the 'gator. "I'll soon introduce you to them. Come along!" Now Uncle Wiggily did not like this nt all. He wanted to get away from the alligator, but he did not know j how he' could do It. At last he thought j of the magical bottles Alice had given i him. "Ah, ha!" thought Uncle Wiggily. "I'll give the alligator a drink from !the blue-corked one. and we'll see i what happens." Ho Uncle Wiggily iflyly said to the 'gator: "Before you take me orr to your den. would you like a drink from this bottle to refresh you?" "Yes, I would," raid the skillery scalery creature, not at all politely. "I was going to take some anyhow, whether you asked me or not." With that he took the blue-corked I bottle from the paw of the bunny rab bit gentleman, punea out the stopper with his teeth and drank a few drops. And, no sooner had he done that, than the alligator began to shrink! First he became as small as a dog. then as little as a cat, then as tiny as at kitten, then no larger than a bird and finally he was no bigger than a baby angle worm. And when the alligator became that sizo Uncle Wiggily was not afraid and easily got away from him, taking the two magic bottles. "Oh. dear!" cried the 'gator In a baby angle worm voice, about as loud as the head of a pin. "How foolish I was to drink from the magic bottle and grow small." But it served him right. I think, and the bunny uncle was safe. And If the foot of the stairs doesn't step on the front door mat and make it slid off the porch I'll tell you next about Uncle WiggUy and the croquet ball.

Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entire- ly greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa ter and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp, thoroughly. The lath er rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months Adv. to any liRlit socket. Can be set at any angle.

He made the prediction at Moscow, where the Americans were being en tertained today, in the course of an interview with newspaper correspon dents. "Americans accept all interpreta tions of Russia's formula of 'peace without annexations and without con tributions,' but we feel profoundly that the German empire in a most outrageous and infamous form has violated the rights of Belgium and Serbia," said Root. "We demand re estiiblishment of these rights. We hold it just to insist on full restoration f violated rights of possessions and t e pa ration for damages."

In the first twenty-four hours of his stay in Moscow, Klihu Root, head of the American mission, addressed six im portant organizations representing ev ery kind of industrial activity and ev ery shade of political belief. In each instance, he was received with the liveliest interest and enthusiasm,' not only by the representatives of the gov ernment but by the workmen's and soldiers delegates who listened eager ly to Mr. Root's account of the way in which America is mobilizing all her resources in the struggle to preserve democracy. In a speech before the military and industrial committee to day Mr. Root said: "I do not think we fully appre ciated the difficulties under which you have labored. A study of conditions since our arrival reveals those diffi culties are far greater than we sup posed. That increases our admiration for the courage, persistency and pub lic spirit with which you have carried on your great work in the last two years. Obstructionists Busy. "I observe with some distress that there are influences operating in an attempt to hinder your future efforts. Of course, if 'the revolution were td proceed to the destruction of all in dustrial enterprise that must end your work, and there are plainly some malign influences which desire to ac complish that result. I have, how ever, the greatest confidence in the sincerity of purpose and the strong determination of the provisional gov ernment at Petrograd to combat and counteract those influences and to maintain the industrial system of the country. It is indicated so plainly by conditions that the way to maintain industrial efficiency and to continue the work of your committee is to I stand by and support the authority I of the provisional government.

The Ruth Cruger murder mystery took a new t. rn today with the summoning be fore the grand jury of Father Gasper Moretto, Italian prieat, who early this morning admitted to the authorities that Alfredo Cocchi confessed to him just before he escaped to Italy. Three other significant facts came to light in the various probes of po lice laxity and the mystery itself. District Attorney Swann announced that he expected to have definite evi dence today that the police made a determined effort "to shield Cocchi and side track the investigation." Miss Helen Cruger, 20 years old, sister of the murdered high school girl, told Commissioner Wallstein ahe called at Chief Detective InsDector office shortly after her sis- ter disappeared and asked, without result, that Faurot'a office do some thing to help find Ruth Cruger.

In a statement to an assistant district attorney. Fath er Morretto said Cocchi came for confession about the middle of Febru ary. Cocchi was greatly agitated and left after confession without telling where he was going. Statements also made by the priest disclosed that Helen Cruger, sister of the murdered girl, and a young man called on him later and asked If Cocchi had been to see him. Father Morretto told them he said that he had not seen Cocchi, because neither Miss Cruger nor the man with her had any official standing and were not en titled to. the information. HASN'T TOLD ALL STORY. Wife Say Cocchi Is a Degenerate Don't Believe Fall Killed Girl. Rome, June 26 Bologna authori ties, today gathering every possible bit of evidence of Alfredo Cocchi's past lire, aon 1 oeneve mat pari ui his confession that Ruth Cruger died in a fall during the scuffle in Coc chi's shop on 127th street. New York, in which she repulsed the Italian's advances. Ambassador Page, who is formally demanding Cocchi's extradition to face a murder charge in New York, is in close touch with the Italian inves tigation. Dispatches from Bologna todav asserted that close investigation of letters received from Cocchi's wife by the authorities suggested coceni was suffering from a horrible type of degeneracy, made manifest by attacks on children. The examination of the self-confessed murderer has so far developed a number of contradictions in his story. The Italian authorities here regarded it as unsatisfactory. They hold it does not clear up the exact details of how the 17-year-old girl met her death. If Cocchi's condition per mits it, he probably will be re-examined and an effort made to establish more fully some of the vague details of Ruth Cruger's visit to Cocchi's shop and of Cocchi's loose references to his attempts to force his love on her. ARGENTINA INCENSED Another Illustration of 17-Boat Ruth lessness Brings Nation Near Break. Buenos Aires, June 26. Sinking by a German submarine of the Argentina steamer Toro was officially admitted today to have brought Argentina very close to severance of diplomatic rela tions with Germany. Officials declared the Toro sinking was of such a character as to make necessary a firm stand by the Argen tina government. There is no cloud on the strictly legitimate nature of the Toro's Argentina register, as there has been in one or two recent Argen tina ships ost in the submarine zone. The vessel was bound from Buenos Aires to Italy and was sunk off Gi braltar. Request for full official details of tl-u attack, the treatment ol tne Ar gentina crew aboard the Toro and af fidavits from the survivors, was made thru the Argentina minister at Madrid today.

Thrust Puts French Closer to Laon Stronghold. GERMANS TAKEN UNAWARES Teutons Concentrated There, Intending to Start a Drive. Three British Planes SnrviTe Battle With 10 of Enemy's. Paris, June 26. Suddenly assuming the offensive over a wide front north west of Hurtebise, French forces last night captured front line German trenches and completely attained all objectives, the war office announced today. 'On Monday evening, following a short period of artillery preparation northwest of Hurtebise, the French brilliantly attacked on a strongly or- j ganized front and took all objectives almost instantly," the official state- j ment asserted. 'The first line or the enemy was completely captured. "The enemy, surprised at the rapid-, ity of our attack, lost heavily. Three hundred prisoners, including ten offi cers, were captured. "The counter attacks, following an intense bombardment of the two flanks on this front, were stopped by our fire." Positions Captured Important, The French coup was executed at one extremity of a front on which the Germans up until Sunday had for five days been waging a tremendous counter offensive movement. Hurte bise lies on the Chemin des Dames, southeast of Laon and very close to Craonne. The dominating positions along this highway were taken by the French in their great offensive drive of April and because of the constant menace of further French progress, which would very soon close around Laon, the Germans have striven des perately to recapture them. Laon is one of the base cities in the several times restamped Hindenburg line and much further progress by French forces against it would mean the Ger mans would have to consider a re tirement all along the line north to the sea. The victory today was all the more remarkable since it came at a time when the enemy was known to have concentrated vast reserves in almost the same region for the German counter-offensive. 3 Against 10 in Air Battle. London, June 26. Three British na val planes fought ten Germans in an aerial battle over Roulers, shooting one down in flames and probably de stroying two others an dmialty, statement today declared. -r The British machines were patrol ling the air. The Germans apparently were starting out for a raid. Notwith standing the enemy's superior num bers, the British flyers entered into an immediate engagement. The fight con tinued sixteen minutes. Thick clouds prevented verification of the destruction, except the one plane, which was known to have been set afire. All the British machines were, unharmed. Canadians Make Telling Smash. Canadian Army Headquarters In France. June 26. In their general ad vance on Lens the Canadians have oc cupied the strongest outpost in the de fense of that place and have pusiiea their troops toward La Couolte. The increasing pressure on the enemy in the Souchez valley during the last few weeks has brought signal success to the British arms, with relatively slight loss. Patrols which were sent out reach ed the summit of Reservoir hill with out opposition and pushed on down the eastern slope. The strong Lens outpost was effectively occupied. Meanwhile, south of the Souchez river the Canadians drove forward on the heels of the retiring Germans. Railway embankments east of the Lens electric station were occupied. The advance was then continued to wards La Coulotte. As night fell, strong parties went out to consolidate the positions occupied while patrols were sent forward to keep in touch with the Germans. Several days ago the Germans were known to be destroying houses in the western part of Lens with the object of giving a wider area of fire for their guns. That may indicate the inten tion of clinging to the eastern side of the city and prolonging the struggle by house to house fighting. Claim French Kjeetod. Berlin, June 26.

FIX PRICEJOF COAL r:iv-riiTnpn Also May Regulate the Iron and Stool Markets. Washington, June 26. Extension of government control"and price fixing to coal, iron and steel and other raw materials during the war, was consid ered today by the senate interstate commerce, committee. Coal was the first subject taken up with Ohio and Pittuhure- onerators as first witnesses. A speedy Inquiry was planned by the committee with the view to proposing amendments to the food control bill for federal regulation of basic com modities. Bills by Senators Pomerene and Cummins to have the government fix prices of coal and railroad supplies were the immediate proposals before the committee but its investigation promised a much boarder scope, in cluding many problems of production, distribution and transportation. The inquiry also promised to develop in formation supplementing the pro posals before the senate agriculture committee for government control of iron, steel, copper, lead, zinc ana otn er materials. INVENT MINE CATCHER Sweeping Device Is Attached to Bow of Vessel Thru War Zone. An Atlantic Port, June 26. A mine sweeping device calculated to pick up and safely bring to the surface any mines that may be in the path of ves sels, is now being attached to a num ber of ships proceeding thru the wa ters of the war zone. One of these devices was observed on a passengr liner which arrived here today. It is attached to the bows and, when let down, a netted projection extends a dozen or more feet on either side of the ship. If a mine is encountered it is picked up and brought to the sur face at a safe distance from the ves sel. The ship to which the device was attached is on her first visit here since April when she was compelled to seek a dry dock in a British port on account of damage from a mine. The explosion, officers said, tore a big hole in her bottom and killed one member of the crew. Water tight compartments held and the ship made port without assistance.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1917 3 LETTERS CITED! Missives of Politicians Con demning Film 3Iade I'ublic. Capper Declared "Birth of a tion" Unfair to Negroes. SESSIONS COULDN'T BELIEVE IT Mrs. Prentis Said She Heard Southern Women Bragging. Producers Answer State in Su preme Court Today. Contents of letters sent to the state censor board by Governor Capper, Charles H. Sessions his private secre tary and Mrs. Caroline Prentis, prom inent Kansas club woman, are made public todav In an answer before the supreme court in the "Birth of a Na tion" suit. The letters are quoted by attorneys for the producers in an ef fort to establish the fact that politi cal influences are belns used to bar the picture from Kansas. When the war picture was brought to Topeka under an approval by the censor board, the state sought a writ vt mandamus from the supreme court. They asked the court to direct the producers to return the picture for further review. In an answer to dav the producers declare that the Bensnr board at least two of the three members desire a review for the purpose of killintr the film. They do not intend to review the picture on its merits, it is asserted Pressure for Recall. it waa after the picture was ap proved by the state board that letters were sent from the governor's office. In these letters, it is asserted, pres sure was brouRht to bear on the cen sorsall women to recall the pic ture and prevent its display in Kan sas towns. The producers today as serted that the picture was not only approved with certain eliminations, tint that the state board provided a fifteen foot film announcing its ap proval. Not until after letters were received from the state house in To peka was a review of the picture de manded, it is tinted. Attorneys for the producers deny the claim that rare prejudice will be aroused thru a display of the film and point to the recent Topeka exhibitions Mrs. Prentis Wrote. Mrs.. Caroline P. Prentis, well known Topeka rlub woman, sent Mrs. .1. M. Miller, chairman of the board, this following sweet and endearing letter concerning the war picture: "My I'dessed Friend: "Just heard that you had passed the "Birth of a Nation." RECALL IT. If you value the esteem of the loyal people of Kansas, do this. It is an Insult to the old soldiers and to every loyal person in this state. It is an outrage. I heard southern women in California braggine that at last they had been able to get their side of the controversy presented to the people. Am attending a meeting of the council of defense here in the governor's of fice so no time to write a real letter. With love and every good wish. Faithfully. "CAROLINE PRENTIS." In a postscript Mrs. Prentis added: "Aside from any other argument against it. this is not time to be stir ring tip feelings which that picture will stir up." The same day Mrs. Prentis wrote to Mist Miller, a letter was also sent by Charles H. Sessions, secretary to Gov ernor Cappear and chairman of the Republican state committee. In his letter Sessions said: Sessions Didn't Believe It. 'There is a rumor here that the censor board has passed 'The Birth of a Nation. I cannot believe it. That's why I am writing. That pic ture is an insult to Kansas and the north. It glorifies the worst gang of cut throats that ever infested America the Ku Klux Klan. It also pictures our. Union officers and soldiers as the rag' tag of creation. It also perverts history. That a board of loyal Kansas woain would pass such a picture is inconceivable to me and I shall not believe it until I hear from you per sonally that such is the case." The Sonatorship Capper. May 9, the following day. Governor Cap"per sent this letter to Mrs. R. L. Short, a member of the state censor board: greatly appreciate your kind let terof May 7. I am so busy here on account of the additional duties brought on by the war situation that I will not be able to give much at tention to the senatorship, but will rleiiiend upon my friends. Anything yoi can do will be appreciated very much. "I am sorry to learn that the board passed favorably upon The Birth of a Nation- 1 cannof help but feel that it will be a serious mis take to let this picture be shown in Kansas nt this time. It is certain to aroose prejudice and create bad feel ing in cities like Kansas City, To-peka- and Wichita, which have large colored populations. The picture is unfair to the colored people. It has been turned down in a great many cities on that account and Kansas, whk'h has always stood for an equal opportunity regardiess of race or creed, ought not to take a backward step." "Verv respectfully. "ARTHI'lt CAITBR, Governor." H Island for Aviation Camp. Washington, June 26.

"The life of the nation is at stake and there are greater things than making money. Is there a man who will say to me: 'You can send your boy to France while I stay here and coin his blood into dollars?" To be an American citi zen is not merely to make a million dollars, but it is to uphold the arm of the man who is making the fight for his country." C. M. Moderwell, a Chicago coal dealer, predicted a serious shortage at the head of the Great Lakes un less action is taken. He believed fix ing of an arbitrary price now was un desirable. Fear of prosecution under the Sherman law prevents the oper ators agreeing among themselves to bring down the price, he declared. Chairman Newlands expressed the opinion that the attorney general would not construe the Sherman law in that way. 'I think if the attorney general would tell us that the law would not be used against us, we could bring down the Drice of coal very Quickly,' Mr. Moderwell replied. He added that the coal situation was in part caused by the fact that the mines operate only eight hours a day while a majority of industries are in opera tion twenty-four hours a aay. capac ity of the mines is about 4 0 per cent more than production, but he doubted if thev would be able to reacn maxi mum production for lack of railroad transportation. Coal Vp 75 to 100 Per Cent. "What is the average increase in the price of coal to the consumer? nskpd Senator Pomerene. "It has been very large, ne re plied "f would sav that it has been from 75 to 100 per cent but that is onlv an estimate. "Wrtw cin vou justify the in creases?" I Tnai onerators are just as human as anybody else, and they have taken advantage oi me niuumu people." Making 200 to 500 Per Cent Profit. Moderwell admitted many com panies are selling coal at a 200 to 300 per cent profit, but said his company in southern Illinois had "only ad vanced the price to consumer at rates varying between 75 and 100 per cent over charges of a year ago." The great plea of the coal men will be for a chance to recoup their losses or slim profits of fifteen years, he said. "Don't you think coal companies are entitled to some extraordinary war profits to make up for previous losses?" Moderwell demanded of the committee. "We do not," retorted Senator Cum mins. Moderwell said if he had a contract covering a term of years, fixing a 20 to 25 cents a ton profit on coal, ne would be satisfied. He said, however, some companies will ask for a $1 a ton profit. 600 Million Profit. "Our national coal production is 600,000,000 tons a year," Pomerene interjected, "at $1 a ton profit that would mean $600,000,000 annual prof its to the operators, or $6 tax on ev ery man, 'woman and child in the country." America s allies will not draw any gigantic tonnage in coal, it developed during the hearing. Moderwell said he understood France needs 6,000.000; Italy, 10,000,000 and Canada 4,000, 000 a total of 20,000,000 tons. He then said the 1917 production will equal 750,000,000 or an increase of 150,000,000 over last year. FOIL $25,00d"jbB" Gulf Captain Charged With German Plot To Sink Ship in Canal.

Washington, June 26. Gasoline and plentyi of it will be the factor that will win the war. If the German armies are to be blinded by our air planes, if the German submarines are to be "strafed" in their lairs; if our navv and the navies of our allies are to clean the high seas; if our armies are to move, gasoline will be required in amounts far beyond all estimates made up to the present time. Crude oil today assumed a position of supreme importance in the war preparations of this country and our allies. A half dozen agencies are al ready at work in an effort to solve the problem. Lewis Urges Action. J. Hamilton Lewis, senator from Illinois, typified the concern felt here when he called on President Wilson this afternoon. He urged in the strongest possible terms that the gov ernment immediately confiscate all oil lands and even look towards Mexico. Senator Lewis would have them oper- ated by the government to meet mili tary needs first. Private needs, he said, must be cared for afterward. Howard Coffin of the council of na tional defense is equally concerned over the supply of crude oil. As outlined by Senator Phelan of California, whose state is now the largest domestic source of supply, the situation is this: The ordinary commercial demands of peace have far outstripped the do mestic supply. This demand must be curtailed and the supply increased. The supply may be increased thru the encouragement of production in the domestic fields and thru the facil itation of imports from Mexico.

Putney, president of the Topeka Automobile club, announced at the Chamber of Commerce that farmers near Watson, representing: the owner ship of 11,000 acres, had signed peti tions ior a DricK road. With a belief growins among farm ers on the south side of the Kaw river that those on the north side will be first in building a hard surfaced road, farmers on the Red Line, especially near Watson, are getting busy. The Topeka men are ready and willing to do anything possible to aid the farm ers but are permitting them to cir culate the petitions and work out their own salvation to a great etxent. There is a big row in progress as to where tlie proposed hard surfaced road shall connect Douglas and Shaw nee counties. Lawrence and Topeka uuusiers nave enaeavored to settle the differences but finally decided to keen hands off and permit the farmers to settle the matter themselves, the first io gei me petitions thru to be the first to get a hard surfaced road.

LOADED UP ON CHICKEN Over Supply In Cold Storage Causes Slump in Price at Chicago. Chicago, June 26. The old fashion ed chicken dinner for several years past the mark of affluence is now tne cheapest of meat meals. Over-population of the chicken divi sions of the cold storage houses has caused a sharp decline in the market and live fowls today were selling at i Vi cents a pound, other meat pro ducts, in the same period, have ad vanced 12 to 300 per cent. Forty million pounds of chicken are now in cold storage and must be mov ed in the next three months. This is ten million pounds more than is usual ly held at this season and the stock has been moving slowly.

THE BLUSHING BRIDE IS 65 She Offered To Help "Hubby" Pay for the Wedding. Cupid's Victim Had Much Fun "Kidding" LJcen'se Clerk. Alexander Newman of Holton, 75 years of age, and Anna A. Higgs of Topeka, 65 years of age, were married today by Ralph Gaw, probate judge. Two much younger couples were mar ried just ahead of them but they had nothing on Mr. Newman and Mrs. Higgs. Mr. Newman undoubtedly is a cut up in his own home town. He had an incorrect answer for every question put to him by the license clerk. He didn't grow enthusiastic when she asked his age and he hesitated long before telling it, then when he did he cautioned her not to tell. "Have you been married before?" she asked. "Seems to me that I have," he said. "Yes. I have." "Were you divorced "She ran away." The clerk straightened up and be gan to want to know the facts. Then Mr. Newman apologetically told her his last wife died. After the license had been issued and the ceremony performed Mr. Newman wanted to know what the bill was. "Six dollars," said the clerk. Had Only Three Dollars. "Six dollars," he exclaimed, "why I have only three with me." "I'm afraid you'll have to go out and get it then," said the clerk. "But I'm a stranger here," slid Mr. Newman, "I couldn't go out and get it from anybody." He spoke so seriously that even his bride of 65 thought he meant it and began to open her pocketbook. "I have it, Alexander," she whis pered. But "Newman didn't need it. He dug into a pocket and pulled out enough money for several ceremonies, paia the bill and the old couple sauntered out of the courthouse and up towards Kansas avenue apparently as nappy as the two young couples who had pre ceded them.

He vas not advised of any change in plans and appeared at the convention nail to find the congress not in ses sion. All its members were working on committees going about the city and pleading with working men not to participate in demonstrations con stantly being urged by agitators.

READY FOR ARMY French Have Prepared Base Camp for IT. S. Troops. All Flans Made to Send Them to the Front. Washington, June 26. The war de partment has received complete re ports from Mai. Gen. John J. Persh ing on what has been accomplished in preparation for American regulars in France. The American general's three weeks of labor have borne fruit to an almost unbelievable degree. It became known today that the department has been informed a great base camp for the Americans already is ready and waiting and every detail for their re ception and transportation to the front has been worked out. General Pershing has been working from 9 o'clock in the morning to all hours of the night, and has been in almost constant communication with Marshal Joffre, according to these dis patches. Marshal Joffre has devoted almost his entire attention for the last few weeks to preparations for the American contingent and the utmost speed has been attained in making everything ready. Base South of St. Quentln. The American base will be south of St. Quentin, historic in the stories of the war on the western front. A sec tion of the line in that neighborhood will be turned over to Pershing as soon as he has sufficient first line troops and reserves to hold it. On the basis of these reports the war department was doing its might iest today to make the forces neces sary available at the earliest possible moment. In connection with the navy depart ment and the shipping board, a great transport system is being organized whereby entire fleets of merchantmen will be turned over to the war depart ment for one voyage at a time. Many of them are German vessels seized at American ports upon the declaration of war. They are fast and have large passenger accommodations. It is felt that their withdrawal from the cargo carrying trade for one voyage every two months or so will not interfere with the shipment of plentiful sup plies to the allies. Over Before Winter. The department's plans for supply ing men to go on these transports are well along. This movement is expect ed to be complete by September 1. This will mean about 375,000 Amer ican troops all trained men, or, at least, a well balanced force of trained men and recruits before winter. In the spring the great overseas move ment of draft forces will be ready to begin if necessary. New York Money Market. New York. .Tune 215. MONEY Mercantile paper, 5ffi5: sterling 00 day bills. 4.72.

Swedish Newspaper Man Thinks War May Last Years. Says America Bid Not Get In Soon Enough. Alex Palmgren, a newspaper man from the Stockholm Dagblad of Swe den, is in Topeka making arrange ments for the showing here of Swed ish Red Cross films. He expects to bring his collection of screen reels, one of the largest ever brought out of Sweden, to Topeka some time in Sep tember. The pictures show the Red Cross work Sweden has been doing in the war and also show many interesting things concerning the country. They were sent to America by a syndicate of big business men who want to help their Red Cross and at the same time advertise the country. Germans Have Men. Jlr. Palmgren is of the opinion that Germany will be able to hold out for a long time if crops turn out well this season. It is his opinion that the Ger mans have men enough to fight for years and he asserts that America's great mistake was in not getting into the conflict sooner. Asked if he did not think the kaiser Would have to abdicate before tho at. j lies would consent to peace, the Swed ish newspaper man replied: "If that is so the war will last for i a long. Ions time. When I was in I Germany a few months before coming America it was my observation that the kaiser was more popular with me masses oi me people than Roose velt ever was in the United States, and I do not believe conditions have changed greatly since then."

Add the juice of two fresh lemons to three ounces of orchard white and shake well in a bottle. Strain the lemon Juice two or three times thru a line cloth so no pulp gets into the lo tion, then it. will keep fresh for months. Regardless of what price you pay or how highly advertised, there is nothing else really more meri torious in beautifying, softening and clearing the skin. As a tan and blem ish remover, also to remove oiliness and aallowness. lemon juice has no rival. Massage it into the face, neck and arms once or twice each day, and just see if it doesn't .bring out the roses and hidden beauty! Lemons have always been used to bleach the skin, but pure lemon juice is too highly acid, therefore should never be used except in this manner. I f properly prepared, this sweet I v fragrant lotion will speak for itself. Any tliug idore will supply the three ounces of orchnrd white at very Mule oost. unti the grocer will supply '.ho lemon.s.

They visited Mr. and Mrs. Clevenger's son, Mr. R. C. Clevenger, and Mrs. Clevenger of Williamsburg. Mr. Clevenger was one of the members of the band who gave a concert Sunday at Ottawa for the benefit of the Red Cross. On their return they stopped at livet and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Woodbury, at their country place. The Woodbury home is one of the lovely country places in the state. It includes hundreds of acres, and the house has all the beauty and conven iences of the city homes of well-to-do people. The shrubs and flowers are at their best at this time of the year. Mrs. Woodbury was formerly Mrs. J. F. Daniels of Topeka. The wedding of Miss Helen T. Pot ter and Mr. Earl E. Lunger of Wich ita took place Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother. Mrs. W. E. Potter, the Rev. J. II. Fazel officiating. Only relatives and close friends of the young couple were present. The only attendants were the bride's little sister, Marjorie. and little Norris McGaw. The girls i wore white frocks and carried long i Fumnied m-M. nd led the bridal pro cession. Miss Potter wore a white I gown and carried a bouquet of pink j and white roses, tied with pink tulle. I 1 ief ore the ceremony, M r. Clyde j Lowry sang "I Love You Truly," and the wedding march was played by Miss iteien lira ham. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served, and Mr. and Mrs. Lunger left for Wich ita, where they will be at home at 523 South Market street. Mr. Lunger was fcrmerly one of the Y. M. C. A. secietaries in Topeka. He left in Jan uary for Wichita, and has a position In the office of the Western Planing Mill Co. j I saw the cunmngest swagger stick the other day. and I can't see why i more of the women don't carry them. I Some of these sticks have holes bored 'thru the handle, from which are sus pended shopping bags or purses or vanity cases, and some of them are just sticks to oe carried for looks sake, without any pretensions to utility. The stick I noticed belongs to Mrs. Don Thompson, and it came with a perfectly wonderful load of lovely things sent her by her husband, Don Thompson, the war photog rapher, from the Orient. The stick is of ebony with a carved -silver handle. Mr. Thompson selected a good many of the garments he sent in China. The material is of Chinese workmanship, and the gowns and oth er garments were made up by Chinese tailors from Paris designs, which Mr. Thompson procured and from which he personally chose different pat terns. Mrs. Thompson has heavy silk gowns, richly embroidered, and made according to the latest Paris mode. Her costumes are in all the colors that she wears becomingly, and she has hats and underwear that match the dresses in color. With her negligees of Oriental silk, she has house or auto mobile caps, made somewhat in the style of the eastern fez, each bound about the head and fastened with a large button of carved ivory. i-ter collection includes a silk oil skin rain coat, an umbrella with amber handle and stick,, jewelry in quaint Oriental patterns, tailored suits, hand-made snrpa ds nix Mandarin coats, embroid ered blouses, and bolts and bolts of materials not yet made up. She has also a fine collection of bands of old Chinese embroidery, and bits of jew elry and souvenirs from the Philip pines, China, Japan. Russia and Paris. Two members of the Cat club who watched the dancing the other night, naturally discussed the dancers. One couple danced by, the man a newly arrived person in business here, and the woman, his wife. They have be come acquainted with a number of Topeka people, and receive some in vitations. Said Tabby Cat: "Are those people going to arrive socially?' Said Pussy Cat: "I think not. They have made some progress, and they are aspiring, but they are still on the outside looking in, and I have it siz ed up that they will remain society rail birds to the end of the chapter." Said Tabby Cat: "Then they won't quite do?" Said Pussy Cat: "That is it. They are just short of the native grace, poise and substantial authority that in some are acquired, but when in born, are as genuine as the color of one's eyes. They just miss it. If they had been brought up in the town and has always been 'in' they would stand as high as a good many who are at the top of the social heap, but the difference between growing in and breaking in, is very marked." Just then another pair flitted by who were ripe for discussion by the members of the celebrated club, and the fate of, the first couple was left hanging by the slenderest thread that ever suspended a Damocles sword. The club, as a whole, has not passed sen tence. Xotea and Personal Mention.

The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the' natural beauty of the hair and (may be enjoyed at very little expense, j by dissolving a teaspoonful of can throx, which can be .btai-ed from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of sharr.poo liquid, enough co it is easy to apply it o all the hair ir.stead of just the top of the head. This when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all im purities. It is very soothing and cool ing in its action, as well as beneficial to both soalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft f'uffiness that makes it seem very heavy.

PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS Ask Your Doctor About I s DRUGS AND TOILET GOODS The Modern Drug Store CtT-RATE 800 West 10th. Telephone 430., Free Delivery North Side News According to local produce men, the present year holds a very gloomy out look for the poultry raiser. Storage plants thruout the country are at present holding between 40 and 60 per cent more poultry in storage than at any previous period. Much of this poultry is left over from last year's stock. The price of chickens is so low at the present time that the prod uce dealers can't afford to sell their stocks at prevailing figures. They would have to sell at a loss, over the price which they paid last summer. According to Charley Matthews, who has a flock of Rhode Island Reds numbering about 300 birds, and who has made a business of raising baby chicks for several years, a poultry raiser can't make money at the pres ent prices of feed. Baby chick feed which a year ago sold for $1.60, to day commands $4 a hundred. Mixed millet and wheat, the finiest feed, is over $5. Mathhews has not made a cent on his chickens in the last year. Counting-labor, he estimates that he has suffered a loss. Were it not for the hope of taking premiums at the state fair next fall, there would be no in ducement whatever to continue in the business. The market and the general situa tion, say produce men, who refuse to be quoted, is .10 uncertain that no positive prediction can be made of future prices. But by present indica tions the only way to force the price up to a point where the industry will return a profit, without which it can't exist, is for enough farmers to quit chicken raising for the scarcity of the produce to boost its value. Mr. and Mrs. C. TV. Willetts of North Harrison street, announce the marriage of their daughter Elizabeth to Mr. Earl Hastings. The marriage took place in Lawrence Monday.

I Archie Leathers of Douglas county, Georgia, was picked up by Scott and Ford this morning, and sent over to the United States marshal's office for investigation. Leathers claimed that he didn't know his age. I He was an honest-looking chap, and told the United States deputy marshal l.what he didn't know in such a con vincing way that he was released. The office of the marshal is "badly handi capped by the lack of any unified na tional system for keeping tab on the vast army of "floaters" who drift about the country when they had much better be required to stay in one spot and do a little useful labor. Monday Officer F. H. Scott picked up Powell Rockewitch of Vienna, Aus tria. This young man had no real ob ject in drifting about the country, it is pointed out. After a local tailor had spent an entire day trying to find Rockewitch a Job, Scott finally landed him a position in the basket factory in North Topeka. The police want to do the square thing by the vags and transients, but they don't desire that any slackers or worse shall slip thru their fingers. Social and Personal. W. E.

CULLEN CAIN T0ARIZ. Former Topeka Newspaper Man to Take Charge of Iiisbce Paper. Cullen A. Cain, former managing i editor of the State Journal, is in To tpeka today on his way to Bisbee, Ariz., where he becomes editor and manager of the Bisbee Daily Review. He retired from the publicity depart ment of the Southwestern Bell Tele phone company in St. Louis last week and will return to active daily news paper work July 1. Few "formerly of Kansas" newspa per men have made a greater record during the last few years than C. A. Cain. In five years in Topeka Cain went from a staff reporter's place to the state house and political run and to the managing editor's desk. In those same five years Cain broke into the magazines and attracted attention in other publicity fields. Rather sud denly stories by Cullen A. Cain be gan to appear in the American, Out ing and other leading periodicals. Then Cain went to St. Louis to as sist in the publication of the South western Bell Telephone company mag azine. That was three years ago. In the magazine field Cain has made th same rapid progress that character-' lzed his work on the State Journal. When Cain announced recently that he expected to leave the telephone company, there was a general and sin-' cere protest from big salaried offi cials of the giant corporation. The sincerity of the protests was made evi dent in the action of H. J. Pettingill. president of the Telephone company, who last week staged a big banquet in Cain's honor at the St. Louis club. In Bisbee, Cain will be in direct charge and control of the news end of the Bisbee Review, a real live south western daily. Cain will also write special feature stories for the Phelps Dodge people, who control extensive copper and mineral interests in the southwest. In fact in his new work Cain wTill be able to combine his tal ents as .a newspaper and magazine man, a rare and unusual combination. IS SLACKER SUSPECT Daniel Gohl. Russian, Held in Topeka j for Jtuiling to Itcgjster. Despite a statement made Monday by Fred Robertson, United States dis trict attorney, to the effect that he did not know of a positive registration i evasion case in Topeka, Daniel Gohl, a Russian, was arrested that evening by deputies from the United States marsnai s oirice. jroni was empioyea by the Mutual Ice and Cold Htorage company. The city directory fails to j show, however, that he is a citizen of j Topeka and it is probable that the dis- trict attorney did not take his case into consideration as one for which Topeka should be responsible and. if so, Topeka may continue to boast of a clean bill of patriotism. Gohl admitted he had failed to reg ister. He was arraigned before Frank Campbell, federal commissioner, and in default of $500 bond is in the coun I ty jail awaiting preliminary hearing. Gohl's citizenship papers show he was j born in Russia and is SO years and 6 months ola. Powell Rockvish, an Austrian, was arrested late Monday afternoon in North Topeka but later released after being allowed to register. Rockvish proved that he could not read or write and asserted that he didn't know any thing about registration day. GUARDSMEN TO SCENE Sheriff Held Faek Mob Bent on Lynching Cntil Soldiers Arrived.

Official, in Shawnee County JalL Alleged slackers, residing perma nently or temporarily In the Salina federal court district, pitted their views on the military registration law against those of government officials Monday afternoon and lost. As the result, Charles Heinke, owner of a 2,000-acre farm in Ellsworth county, charged with telling one of the farm hands, Albert Schroeder, not to reg ister, slept in the Salina jail Monday night in default of $5,000 bond after both had been bound over to the fed eral grand jury by George Chase, fed eral commissioner at Salina. Schroed er was allowed bond on his own recog nizance. James Casper, an I. V. W., official, arrested at Salina for failing to regiBter, is in the Shawnee county jail after being bound over to the grand jury by Commissioner Chase. Fred Kobertson, district attorney, was in Topeka this morning after upending Monday in Salina prosecut ing the cases. He declared that Heinke, the Ellsworth county farmer, told Schroeder not to register as no official notice to do so had been serv ed on the latter. Heinke, Robertson says, told his employe that the no tices printed in the newspapers were not official. Schroeder didn't register- Heinke, according to Robertson, has, in addition to his activities ag;iinst registration, shown consider able antagonism toward the Red Cross campaign. Cursed the Red Cross. "When Red Cross campaigners were soliciting subscriptions in Heinke's neighborhood,," Itobertson said, "they first went to one of Heinke's neigh bors and obtained a subscription of $50. Then they went to Heinke's place and asked for a subscription. He refused and said, 'to h with the Red Cross,' and declared it was 'nothing hut a d graft.' "After the campaigners left Heinke. the latter called up the neighbor and Hhused him for subscribing. His talk was so strong that the neighbor went to the Red Cross society and said he didn't know whether or not he should have subscribed, after what Heinke said over the "phone. The neighbor's $.iU was refunded by the Red Cross chapter." Song for Discontent. v A lot of literature, found upon the man when he was arrested, was in troduced against James Casper, I. W. W. official, during his hearing before the" "Salina commissioner. When ar retted recently for failure to register, ';isper, who is 21 years old, had in his possession credentials as an I. W. W. official and a number of songs and speeches. In one song book, just below the title, it was written "Written for the purpose of fanning discontent." None of the papers gave any ad dress of the owner. In Casper's cre dent ial book the owner's I. W. W. number was given as 242,547. This brought out the fact that the organi station members use a number system for identification. After being bound over to the grand jury. Casper was brought to Topeka and is receiving his mail at the county jail. FRATERNAL AID UNION Topeka lodge No. 2 will meet tonight in the old 1. O. O. F. hall at 119 West 6th. Adv. SCORES OF ATTEST TANLAC MERIT When a medicine is vouched for by hundreds In a state like Kansas there can be no doubt as to its merits. Kansas folks are not easily lead to make public statements about anything without first testing a remedy thoroughly before placing their O. K. on it. Therefore Tanlac's originators are proud to point to hundreds of testi monials given voluntarily by the people of Kansas. Here are a few of the statements: ATCHISON Mrs. Belle Sebring: "Although past three score years in age 1 have been greatly benefited by Tanlac. I had a catch in my back and after taking Tanlac the catch disappeared. Gas formations in my stomach were relieved by the medicine." COFFEYV'ILLEMrs. Mae Pherson: "I am rapidly gaining weight and my old-time strength is returning since I took Tanlac. My kidneys had been a source of unending trouble and it lead on to a general run-down condition that I think the second bottle will bring complete relief." PITTSBURG Mrs. Ellen Lane: "I'm back for a second bottle of Tanlac and I'm sure that it will give me complete relief from my stomach and kid ney trouble. For several years I have had a poor appetite food didn't agree with me but since taking one bottle of Tanlac I have been benefited so much that I think thesecond bottle will bring complete relief." HUTCHINSON" Mrs. K. F. Mohs: "I want to tell all the people of Reno county that Tanlac is without a doubt the most wonderful medicine I've ever tried. For years I suffered with stomach trouble but after taking Tanlac my food digests properly and I really feel better in every way." LEAVENWORTH Mrs. Florence Fletchner: "I can truthfully say that X feel much better in every single respect since I've started taking this new medicine, Tanlac. I was broken down generally, my nerves were 'on edge' but Tanlac has enabled me to regain my health and the nervousness has been relieved." PARSONS Mrs. May Pruitt: "My stomach commenced to bother me some months ago. Gas formations and bloating resulted after eating meals. I didn't dare eat a number of foods but now after taking Tanlac I can eat anything I care for. Gas formations and bloating have ceased." As a health tonic Tanlac is unsurpassed. Thousands make use of it every year, especially at this season, in order to throw off the effects of the long winter and revitalize their system for the summer months.

BREWERS ROAR Claim Dry Measure Means Ruination of Business. Will Throw 10,000 Men Out of Work in St Louis Alone, Milwaukee. "Wis., June 26. "Com plete ruin of the business." This was the general view of practi cally all brewers in Milwaukee today on the meaning of the liquor clause in the food control bill which passed the lower branch of congress Saturday night. They are pessimistic too, over what the senate will do with the measure. "We have no knowledge of how t'. t senate stands on the bill," said Se retary Stark of the Pabst Breweries, "we hope that the senate will not pas. the bill. If they do it means complete ruin of our business." Gustav Pabst, president of the Pabst brewery and also chief executive of the National brewers body, is in Wash ington fighting passage of the bill. Gives Wilson Too Much Power. St. Louis, Mo., June 26. Congress is seeking to give President Wilson more autocratic powers than the former czar of Russia ever had. The food bill is inconsistent because, while it wouid prohibit the use of grains lor brewing in the United States, it would not prohibit the exportations of grains to England and other countries where it could be brewed. The proposed law probably will be declared unconstitu tional, if it is passed in its present form, because it does not provide a single dollar compensation for indus tries it will wreck. These are opinions of St. Louis brewers in statements to the United Press today of the prohibition clause in the Lever food bill, passed by the house Saturday. "I have grave doubts of the consti tutionality of the measure." Otto F. Stifel, president of the Union Brewing company and prominent politician, de clared. Year's Supply on Hand. August A. Busch, head of Anheuser Busch, said his company had a year's supply of beer on hand, but he did not care to comment on the action of con gress.

'I do not believe in the national prohibition of ngnt wines and beer, and am of the opinion that such a law could not be enforced." This statement was made by Cardinal Gibbons today when asked to comment on the bone dry amendment to the food control bill now before the serate. "I am opposed," the cardinal con tinued, "to any statewide or nation wide prohibition measure. A law of this kind interferes with the personal liberty and rights of the people and creates hypocrisy on the part of the public."

Campaign for $75,000 Waiting on This City. Topeka Has Yet to Raise $4,500 To Complete Amount. The $75,000 war work campaign of the Kansas state T. M. C. A., is wait ing on Topeka. Topeka, in the fifth, Y. M. C. A. war district, is the only city in the state in which the cam paign has not been successfully ended. The campaign total has now passed the $70,000 and is waiting for Topeka to raise $4,500 to send in a complete record to the New York headquarters, Wichita, this morning, reported that the last J3.000 of its $25,000 allotment had been pledged and that the cam paign was completed Monday night. This amount represents one-third of the total campaign ligure of the state and marks the end of the campaign in every district of the state with the ex ception of Topeka. "The success of the campaign now hangs before the men and women of Topeka," Clifford Pierce, state Y. M. C. A. secretary, said this morning. "The goal is less than $5,000 away and a single day's subscription would com plete the affair, provided the men and women respond as faithfully as they did to the call of the Red Cross cam paign." F. L. Geer, in charge of the Topeka campaign, said this morning that a committee of men would soon start on the final lap. Final plans for the cam paign will be made this afternoon and before the end of the week Kansas will go down on the books of the Tia-. tional Y. M. C A. as a success In the camoaien work. As soon as the campaign is closed J here and reports are sent to New York, the first army Y. M. C. A. in the state will be started at Fort Riley. This building will cost, approximately $15,000 and the furnishings and equip ment nearly as much again.

SURE TEAM Dr. Kennedy Announces Wash burn VH1 Continue Football. Captain Logan, However, May Be in Army by Fall. Dr. A. R. Kennedy, athletic director of Washburn college, who is spending his summer vacation mending molars, asserted today that the Ichabods will have a football team regardless of war conditions. He said that plans are now being- made for this and that he believes, with President Wilson en couraging athletics. most of the schools and colleges will do likewise. According to Doctor Kennedy about the only difference the war will make will be the fact that the cider stars will be missing and that the teams will be composed of younger under class men. He says he believes most of the colleges will revert to the play ing of freshmen and that by doing so they will be able to make up their teams from men who are not old enough to come under the provisions of the draft or to enlist. One handicap that the Ichabods will probably have will be that of finding a new captain, as "Chuck" Logan, who was elected last fall, has made appli cation for entrance to the second of ficers training camp and intends to join the colors. "Shorty" Dehn, Jay McCosh, Sam Stewart, Art Champeny and Harwood Benton are among the Washburn football players who are al ready in the service.

Within a very i B short time minor leagues of a class 1 below A probably will be extremely g scarce. Following the lead of A. R. s Tearney, president of the Three-I league, many presidents of small cir- cuits are expected to agree to a plan j P which will stop all baseball in these 1 leagues, hold all players for a year, i g and open again when conditions b- E come better. Concerted action, of s course, would be necessary to protect the magnates. The larger minor leagues the In- 1 teinational, Pacitlc coast and the American Association, and the South- ern and Western leagues Drobablv I continue. u lley are stronger.
