Accepting Goethals's, President Asks Den man To Resign. BIG SENSATION AT CAPITAL Also Accepts Resignation of Joint B. White of K. C. Prepared in Advance, Succes sors of AH Three Named. Washington, July 24. Sweeping steps -were taken by President Wilson today to put an end o delay in build ing America's great merchant marine. Two resignations those of General Goethals. manager of the emergency Veet corporation, and Capt. John B. White of Kansas City, member of the shipping board, were accepted. Chair man Denman of the shipping board was asked to resign. Denman immediately sent his resig t ation to the president in a letter promising fullest support. At the same time the president an nounced the appointment of Edwin Hurley, Chicago, as chairman of the shipping board, and Admiral Capps. naval constructor, as general manager of the emergency fleet corporation. Bainbridge Colby, New York, was named in White's place on the ship ping board. Start With Clean Sheet, "We will start with a clean sheet, the president explained in his letter to Goethals, accepting the general's lesignation offer. It was evident from the promptness with which the president acted in ivery particular that he had had the "house cleaning in mind for some ?ays. The stepping out of the premier canal builder came as a complete sur prise to Washington. It was believed that the president would make one lust attempt to mollify the two con vending men and get them to work together in the great ship construc tion program facing the government. In accepting Goethals's resignation, the president wrote the following let terr v- CodUU IMer 4o Goetiials. i "My Ienr ieneral Goethals: "Y.our letter of July '20 kioen yon great honor.

The ship building is, happily, in large part begun and cau now be readily cleared of debates that have unquestionably darkened It. "With deep appreciation therefore of your generous attitude anil with genuine admiration of what you have been able within a short time to accomplish, I accept your resignation and feel that In doing so I am acting upon your own best judg ment, as well as- my own. "I hoje that you will feel that the peo ple of the country, for whom you have rendered great services, will Judge you justly and generously in this as in other thing" and that all personal misunder standings and misjudgments that may have beeu created will pasa in a short time entirely away. "With warm regard, cordially and sin cerely yours. (Signed) WOODHOW WILSON." Asks iK'iiman to Resign, Too, The president's letter to Denman follows: "My J'ear Tenmau "I hope and believe that I am interpret ing your own beat judgment, as well as my owu, when I say that our duty con cerning the debate and misunderstanding that has arisen in connection with the ship building program ought to be nettled without regard to our personal preferences and our personal feelings, all together and with the single ..rpose of doing what will serve the public Interest. No decision we could now arrive at could eliminate the elements of controversy that have crept into almost every question in connection L with the program; and 1 am convinced that the only wise course io to begin afresh not upon the program for that is already In large part In process of execu tion, but upou the further jxocution of it.

State Camps Until Ordered South. KANSAS NOT ON THE LIST First Guards Ordered Out Go Into Camp Next Week, 16 Major Generals and 62 Brig adier Generals To Be Named. Washington, July 24. The United States tomorrow will call out its sec ond group of national guardsmen for intensive training. Twenty states, in cluding New England, a fringe of the Old South, part of the northwest and others will respond. The list follows: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con necticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary land, District of Columbia Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Illinois,' Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The guards will be held at home armories or state concentration camps until such time as the southern tented camps are ready. As there is still much construction work, building wooden kitchens, mess halls and the like, some of the troops at least will not head south for a month. First Called Not Yet in Camp. None of the first called guardsmen have yet moved, tho the war depart ment said today that movement prob bly would start next week, as the first of the camps are rapidly nearing com pletion. Sufficient supplies will be ready for the men by the time they reach camp. The question of furnishing higher officers to the national guard is still in abe:, nee. Sixteen major generals and sixty-two brigadier generals are needed and most of these will be drawn from the present organization, tho in a few isolated cases it is likely commanding officers may be forced out. The department has decided that as a general rule it will not assign any regular army officer to a position in the guard lower than brigadier general. There- will be fewsuch plums outside the guard ranks,, liowever, KAN SANS EXPECTING CAUi. 11,000 W ill Go Into Federal Service From This State. There is slight chance that the Kan sas guardsmen will be called to fed eral service before August 5. That is the opinion today in national guard circles. Reports sent from Washing ton several weeks ago gave August 5 as the date when Kansas guards would enter the federal service. Noth ing has indicated a change in the original date. Plans are practically completed for mustering in the guard units early next month. Practically 11,000 Kan sans will be affected by the call, while 6,4 38 men will be affected by, the se lective draft. The men subject to draft, however, will probably not be called until some time in September. NO RAIN IS IN SIGHT Mercury Stood at 88 Mark at the Aft ernoon Reading.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1917 TEN PAGES KANSAS FARMERS PLAN TO HOARD ALL BIG CROPS? Wheat Growers Not Satisfied With $2 a Bushel. They Will Have No Trouble Borrowing Money. BIG PROFITS LURE GREAT Potato and Corn Raisers Also Look for Advances. Many Sell Stock Because of High Grain Prices. Reports sent to Topeka during the last lew days indicate that farmers in the wheat belt may seek to hoard their 1917 crop in an effort to force an advanco in prices beyond the gov ernment guarantee of $2 a bushel. Kansas bankers, with record deposits and a desire for an increase in the loan and discount column, are said to be willing to provide credit for holding the crop. While no organized eff jrt- has been made, a report sent to Topeka has In dicated that the farmer organizations may establish a mutual agreement for holding crops to bcost market prices. In spite of the fact that the record crop of 1914 sold for a dollar a bushel and less, the government guarantee of $2 this year has not aroused the enthusiasm of the farm ers. They recall the skyrocketing in the wheat pit last spring and many crop producers are said to believe that enormous increases in marker values will be gained thru hoarding grains and food stuffs. Some Wheat Marketed. Just at this time wheat is the big crop which concerns Kansas and the world. The 1917 cutting is out of the way and thousands of bushels of the Kansas grain has already found its way to the market centers. In many of the eastern and central counties the crop was the largest on record. Top notch war prices and abnormal production brought a new prosperity 1 to these communities and the tempta tion to sell the new crop and divide the long profits was great. In the established wheat counties, though, the crop was shorter than usual. These farmers had become accustom ed to high prices and they merely winked when bidders offered- $2 for, grain at the -nearest elevators. The majority of farmers in the wheat counties are amply able to finance ftheir own speculations with funds from their private bank ac-; counts. Producers who need credit or 1 loans on their grain, however, will have little trouble securing ample credit this summer. Bankers in the wheat district are anxious to increase their loans and are greedily grab bing for anything that looks like good paper. with wheat in the bins at home, the farmer can hold his wheat and borrow such money as he may need. All Look for Advances. Temptation to hoard supplies for further advances in prices does not affect the wheat grower alone. The potato grower, the corn pianter, the stock raiser and the alfalfa farmer are all looking ahead to longer, big ger profits. In many of the counties the situa tion as affecting the feeding of live stock is said to be serious. Many of the farmers have been unable to pro duce their own feed and in some coun ties farmers are actual) y feeding wheat to their live stock. Corn prices and the outlook for the new crop have given stockmen a big scare and in many localities feeders and breeders have been compelled to dispose of fancy herds because of high prices of feed. In a number of counties alfalfa is selling at $22 to $24 a ton, with nothing to indicate a slump in mar ket prices. It is in the matter of the hoarding of feed for stock that the farmer hits the farmer. The town man no longer keeps a cow or a horse and he re fuses to lose sleep about "the price of prairie 'hay and alfalfa. But when the farmer begins to store his wheat and potatoes and other food stuffs for market advances, it is the town man who is hit and the farmer smiles in his sleep and dreams of a summer vacation at Atlantic City. KY. GREETS BELGIANS Military Escort, Bands and Huge Crowd Welcomes Mission. Louisville, Ky., July 24. There was a military welcome for the Belgian war mission when its members reach ed here today. The entire First regi ment of the Kentucky National guard drew up before the station and stood in salute as the visitors passed out for a five hours' visit. The city was decorated in Belgium's colors, the. black, red and yellow. A military band played as the visitors were driven up town and the streets were crowded. The Belgiums were disappointed that the day's program did not in clude a motor trip to the birthplace of Lincoln, but the shortness of the stay here prevented.

Several thou I stand employes of the lines will be af t fected. The incerase, it is announced, was given because of the increased cost of living and the increased amount of business the Rock Island, just jut of the hands of the receivers, is doing.

Proposed regulations for enforcing the federal child labor act were discussed by pro ducers, manufacturers, dealers and others at a hearing today in the otfice of the assistant secretary of labor. The hearings were conducted by the advisory committee to the attorney general and the secretaries of com merce and labor who are constituted under the act a board to formulate the regulations.

The new law, which takes effect September 1, prohibits the shipment in interstate commerce of the prod ucts of factories employing children.

Refuses To Operate on Pitifully Deformed Infant. PARENTS AGREE TO VERDICT Lets "Nature Rectify Its Own Mistakes' by Death. With Brain Exposed Child Can 3T ot Liye Long. Chicago, July 24. Dr. II. J. Ha is el den, who let Baby Bollinger die be cmue mature had made a mistake, has again decreed that nature1 shall be allowed to rectify her own errors. He has decreed death for the infant daughter of William and Mrs. Eva Meter of West Pullman. When the child was born, the at tending physician directed that Dr. Haiselden be called and eaid he would abide by the doctor's decision. Dr. Haiselden examined the child and his decision was for deathr The child's upper skull cap was mis sing. A diminutive brain which seem ed to promise imbecility was covered only by a thin transparent membrane. There was no neck. The tiny head was attached directly to the shoulders. The eyes bulged from their sockets. Both ears were misshapen, the arms were without muscles or tendons and incapable of functioning. Baby Could Be Savcd The baby could be saved," said Dr. Haiselden. "This could be achieved by cutting a patch of skin from the back and grafting it over the exposed brain. But I will not do this. No surgeon is justified in prolonging an absolutely worthless life. 'lt I saved the infant I should pre serve it to a life of wretchedness, it would be a burden to itself and others. Perhaps it would become a menace to society. I will not kill it. Nature will rectify its own mistakes. I will feed it as long as life lives, but I will not operate." The parents bowed to the doctor's ruling. Dr. Haiselden's decree of death for I Baby Bollinger created comment all i over the civilized World. The Illinois board of health and Illinois medical society were asked to revoke the doc- j tor's license to practice and the i humanitarians and the moralists en gaged in a battle which was waged in the daily and medical press for months. However, no action was taken and the doctor continued his practice undisturbed. SU11 Alive Today. The Meter child was still alive to day, but death was expected momen tarily. Dr.. Haiselden attributed the infant's condition directly to "marking." Six months before the child was born, a man plunged from the Edison build ing here to his death on the sidewalk, directly in front of Mrs. Meter. His skull was crushed. Baby Meter's skull is gone, in a correspond ing region of the head. "The parallel is significant' said Dr. Haiselden. "And it only confirms my opinion that children are marked before birth, despite contradictory opinions of many leading physicians. "In such cases as these, the cord should never have been tied. In border line cases the situation is dif ferent. They need consideration, but when the hopelessness of an infant is so apparent it should be allowed to pass into the next world at once. Experimenting With Animals. "Frequently the shame, worry and shock over a birth of this kind kills the mother. I have known it to oc-. cur in a number of cases. "Imperfection of nature from shock is due to the releasing of the cords that support the infant, letting in cer tain poisons, causing the marking. In the cafe of animals we have experi mented by injecting toxins and poi sons and found that the progeny were either blind or -crippled. "I think that it should b made a rule among surgeons tha when im perfection of nature is as apparent as it is in this case they should not tie the cord that sustains life."

Desperate Attacks Against the French Repeatedly Repulsed. Berlin, via London, July 24. Huge captures in prisoners and war ma terial mark the continued advance of the Teutonic army against the Rus sian rout around Tarnopol, today's official statement declared. "South of Tarnopol. we forced our way over the Sereth, advancing be yond Podhajce, Falicz, Bystrzca and Solotwinska," the war office asserted. "Several divisions report 3,000 prison ers each. Our large booty is proof of the precipitate retreat of the enemy." Southwest of Dvinsk river six Rus sian divisions (approximately ninety thousand men) five times attacked, but were compelled to withdraw un der heavy losses, the statement de clared. "It also stated Krevo had been cap tured after storming of the Russian lines over a front of five kilometers. "South of Smorgon," the statement concluded, "eight enemy divisions at tacked our lines. Only remnants re turned to their trenches "In the northern Carpathians," the statement continued, "the enemy is retreating from the Sereth as far as the wooded Carpathians. We are pressing forward on a front of 250 kilometers about 93 miles. German Attacks Fail. Paris, July 24. Two further Ger man attempts to storm the French lines northwest of Braye-En-Laon-nois, preceded by violent bombard ments last night, were repulsed by the defenders of the Chemin des Dames line, today's official report stated. Be tween Cerny and Allies the enemy likewise attempted an attack and like wise failed. A storming attack directed by the Germans north of Sancy was crum bled in French fire that decimated the enemy's waves. The remaining Germans fled to their trenches, aban doning a number of prisoners. Around Craonne. the statement, said, the enemy artillery fire was vio lent, especially around Californie plateau. German aviators last night bombed Nancy, without casualties to the city. Artillery Battle Never Equalled. Berlin, July 24. An artillery battle of an intensity never paralleled pre viously is raging day and night in Flanders, the war office announces. The German announcement indi cates that in all likelihood the ex pected British offensiye is at hand. Several times recently Berlin has re ported heavy artillery fighting in Flanders and the intensity of today's bombadrment probably denotes the stage of preparations before the blow is struck. It has been predicted that the next attack of the British would surpass any 'effort previously made by them. The opening of the offen sive may be hastened to assist the hard pressed Russians. TWO DEAD IN CISTERN Brothers Probably Killed by Sewer Gas Attempt at Rescue Fails. St. Louis, July 24. Joseph and Louis Moss, brothers, were found dead today in an abandoned cistern. The men are thought to have fallen into the cistern accidentally and to have been killed by sewer gas. A rope tied arounc the body of Joseph, with the other end lying on the floor of a barn, led the police to believe that Joseph felt in first; that Louis was dragged in while trying to rescue his brother, and that both were killed by gas arising from the mire in the bottom of the cistern. CHILE CABINET RESIGN Was Organized July 14 No Reason Given for Action. Santiago, Chile, July 24. The cab inet has resigned. No reason for the action is given. The Chilean ministry, which has just abondoned office, was formed July 14, repKcing the cabinet which resigned on J-ly 7. It has been re ported recently that a majority of the Chileans favored an abandonment of the policy of strict neutrality. Trou ble over this question, it is thought, may have had something to do with the decision of the cabinet to resign. Mooney Case to Jury. San Francisco, Cal., July 24.

NEW 5 BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET UP TO CONGRESS At Eleventh Hour McAdoo Ap prises Senate Committee. 1 Dwarfs War Tax Plan to Raise $1,670,670,000. AIRCRAFT BILL NOW LAW Provides $640,000,000 Fighting Airplanes. for Suppress Military Expense To Keep Germany Guessing. Washington, July 24. A new five billion dollar war budget two billion dollars more than the one that started America's war with Germany, was laid before congress today. News of the tremendous sum to be asked by the administration came first to senate leaders over the tele phone from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. McAdoo himself was to see Chairman Simmons of the senate committee this afternoon to submit the estimates. The full committee is expected to be present. The $1,670,670,000 revenue bill that was to have been introduced today by Simmons has been held up indefinite ly, dwarfed by appalling new taxes or bond issues that congress must pre pare for. The message from McAdoo, telling of th new estimates, came to Sim mons iust as he was leaving his of fice for the senate floor. Largely for Field Artillery. It has been understood the war de partment would submit estimates for more than $3,000,000,000 principally for field artillery and for expenses in connection with the next draft. A half billion additional for the gov ernment's shipping program probably will be asked. The treasury and war departments declined to give the estimates. Sec retary Baker indicated that the con gressional committees could determine what publicity should be given to the figures. Some of the estimates may be with held, so that Germany cannot take counter measures of preparation. Signs Great Aircraft Bill. Washington, July 24. The great aircraft production bill is now a law, The president signed the measure to day, releasing appropriations of $640, 000,000 for immediate use in building airplanes and preparing American aviators for service in France. Almost at the same moment, Unit ed States army officers, returning from France, reported the cry of the allies now is that unless America puts forth a gigantic aviation effort the war will be long drawn out.

Kerensky at Front on Death Trail of Strife Leaders. ALL NATION BACK OF HIM Must Stop German Invasion or Nation Is Lost. 400 Machine Gnns Taken From Mutinous Troops. BY WIMJAM CS. S1IEPHEMD. Petrograd, July 24. Russia will shoot down as traitors the mutineers in her armies and the German spies in her cities. Clothed with "unlilmted powers.'' the new people's cabinet was prepared today to Invoke measures of blood shed to stop ,-ie rout of the southeast army and to clean out the nests 01 German provocat I scattered thru out the nation. Premier Kerensky, arriving at the front today, was ex pected to order loyal troops without mercy to Bhoot down such of their fel low soldiers who yieled to German propaganda and started the mutiny. The rigorous policy of repression of traitors a-.d of German sympathizers is the people's own' plan. The All Russia Workmen's t.r.d Soldiers' and Peasants congresses formally approvs it. A proclamation declaring all who disobey the provisional government's battle orders "will be regarded as traitors and cowards' and "show no mercy" was ,ued today. Advancing on 40-Milo Front. Petrograd is hoping that Kerensky will again perform a miracle at the front. With Tarnap 1 "-one and tha Teutonic armies pushing forward en whole of the great Russian line as far north as Pinsk is menaced. Turn ing of the Russian flank may be at tempted. To avert a disaster, the Russian troops must be reformed, the malcontents weeded out or shot and a firm stand made. Not alone on the front is the new policy of extermination of undesir ables, of traitors and pro-Germans to i b carried out. Today In Petrograd 1 strong forces of soldiers and special agents began a systematic uprooting of the Gerrnan spy system as well as a sorting out of all suspicious troops Ths first machine gun regiment was" disarmed. Four hundred machine guns and truck loads of military sup plies were seized. The regiment Itself marched to Winter Palace squar and formally surrendered. It was trans ferred to new barracks and will shortly be sent to the front. Parts of this regiment were among those who participated in last week's riot ing in Petrograd. Prove German Intrigue. The existence of a huge German plot to overthrow the new democracy by a counter revolution was definitely proved today in wholesale arrerts in the capital. It was German money that Incited anarchists last week to treason; it was German agents anil provocators at the front who led the mutiny in the army. The German plot for a counter revo lution must have been forming for months. Millions have been spent in hatching the scheme. Among several hundred anarchists and revolutionar ies of scant means and no income, who were seized today the authorities found large sums of money. None had less than 300 roubles ($150) and many carried several thousand. But from out of the shock cf this German perfidy. Premier Kerensky emerged today stronger than ever.

Hopeless division of the jury In the Rene Mooney bomb plot trial was indicated today when Judge Sea well reconvened court to await a ver dict from the twelve men who hold the fate of the woman charged with mur der in connection with the prepared ness parade explosion of a year ago. Humors that a score of ballots had already been taken and that two of the jurors were standing out against aa agreement were circulated in the hall of Justice. None of these rumors could be con firmed. Deliberations of the jury have been exceedingly stormy. Within four hours after the twelve men retired, sounds of verbal strife came from the jury room. One man, in heated de bate, was heard to call another "an anarchist" and hot words, audible even on the 'floor below the jury rqom, were heard. 'Judge Seawell and a crowd, which packed the room remained in the court room until nearly midnight and then the Jurors were locked up for the nUht. Mrs. Mooney remained In her cell today looking worn out from her long ordeal, but retaining her smile of con fidence.

Offers, to Resign on July 20. dfoethals letter written July 20, of fering to resign, follows: "My Dear Mr. President: "1 beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter t July 19 and wish to express my appreciation of the considerate man ner in which you have state! the conclu sion which you have reached. "In the project of the 'emergency con struction of small ships' dated March '40, 1DIT, and approved by yon oi April 4 last, it was stated that to secure the speed of production, which is an Ziuportam, we feel that the task of securing and equipping these ships should be put in the hands or one man. Centralised control is essential for rapid and efficient- work. "It whs on this understanding on my part tbut I undertook the work at your request. "Tills understanding was subsequently confirmed, not only when I took up the matter with the shipping board, but at the hearings before the subcommittee of the committee on appropriations of the 1'nited States senate, where it was stated that I was to have "absolute an. complete authority on the constructing side, that everything the board could do, would he done and that it would act on my sugges tion and initiative' x Those assurances were placedmuch more clearly before the members of the sub-eommittee on appro priations of the house of representatives. "The necetwdty for whipping makes it Im perative that results be secured as rapidly us possible. It is result, by whomsoever obtained, which count after all anil noth ing should be allowed to interfere with the a-eompliKhment of this end. I have en deavored to establish harm on ions relations with the shipping board, but regret to state I have not succeeded and it seems im possible to secure the union of purpose essential to the success of the work. Be lieving that a centralisation of authority in one man Is necessary to carry out the ship building program rapidly and suc cessfully, after mature consideration on the whole subject, I am satisfied that I cannot secure efficient results under the conditions of your letter. "I am convinced, therefore, that the best Interests of the public welfare would be served If I were replaced by some one on whom full authority can be centered and whose personality will not he a stumbling block. It Is my urgent hope that this solution will commend Itself to you and In order that the work may be delayed as little as possible, by a change, if you deem it wise I shall be glad to continue in charge until njy successor can be selected and remain with him until he has a thoro knowledge of the organization that has been built up and has been able to fa mllarize himself with the work that has already een undertaken. "You may be assured of my loyal ac quiescence in the direction given ia your letter and all future orders. "Yours respectfully, "GEOHGE W. GOETHALS." The New Members. Edwin N.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1917 3 i v ,f WAR ON COCKROACHES; M Thffj Are a Menace In That They May Carry IMsease. Manhattan. Kan.. July 24. Cock- j roaches as possible carriers of disease j an a menace and should be extermi- Bated, says George A. Dean, professor j entomology In the agricultural eol- left". The black cockroach, the most com- j mon species in Kansas, may be con- l trolled by placing phosphorus paste j on bits of glazed paper or cardboard j in its runways and in places which it I frequents. The phosphorus is not I eaten by the yellow or German cock- roach. This insect may be poisoned j by placing a mixture of equal parts of i borax and sweet chocolate in its paths. A simple trap for catching the j roaches consists of a large pan or a l deep stone Jar the deeper the better wttn a moist dish cloth in it. sticks or laths should be placed on an easy lant from the floor to the pan. so that there will be no difficulty in getting to the edge of the pan. Early In the morning pour boiling water over the cloth to kill the roaches hid ing in It. One of the most effective simple ways of ridding premises of roaches is dusting with commercial sodium fluoride either pure or diluted one half with flour. With the use of a dust gun or blower the sodium fluor ide can be dusted over the shelves, tables, floors, runways, and hiding places of the Insects.

FORCED TOTEAYE KAN. Exodus to Missouri Side of An Brew ery and Uquor House Employes. Kansas City, Kan., July 2 A. Kan sas City. Kan., is losing several fami lies daily and contrary to all prece dents is not bewailing the fact. The exodus, occasioned by a recent order of the brewers and saloonkeepers on the Missouri side that all- their em ployes should move out of Kansas, reached its height today when several families transferred their belongings across the state line. The employes have been given until November 1 to move out of Kansas or resign their positions. Most of those affected are liquor salesmen, bartenders or brew ery workers who for obvious reasons prefer to rear their families in pro hibition Kansas. Many of the employes own their homes here and are objecting strenu ously to the order, threatening to quit their jobs rather than submit; others contend that they owe their al legiance to the business from which yjthey derive a livelihood.

Russia needs a Napoleon and it may develop that she has him In Keren sky. Events are proceefling In that taction torn country much as they did In France at the time of the revolu tion, when the young Corslcan brought order out of chaos. Under his leadership France dropped back into one man government but the seeds of democracy had taken firm root and they sprouted again a soon as conditions were right. It has be come necessary to make Kerensky practically a dictator. How ie will use his power remains to be seen. Whatever the result, there Beamingly aas nothing else to do. He appears to be the only man having both the necessary executive ability and the confidence of the people. The traitors must have won over or dealt with in a firm and uncompromising manner. If Kerensky unite his people and there by win the war, he will be the big gest man in the world. So far he has evinced no other ambition than to serve his distracted country. The good1 wishes of the civilized peoples are with him in his great undertaking. The situation in Germany recalls the old story of the bo who yoked himself to a ealf. The calf became frightened and started down the road at a Maud S. pace, causing his part ner to yell: "Stop us, somebody. We re running away." The German chancellor's speech to the reichstag sounds much like whis tling in the dark to keep one's cour age up. It will be noted that the Teu tonic nations alone are talking about peace. No suggestion of negotiations has come from England, France or Italy. The only victory which can be set down to the credit of the crown prince since the war began is the one over von BethmannHollweg. The new German chancellor repeats the old story about Germany's being forced into the war. It does not de ceive anybody unless it be the German people. He cites the mobilization of the Russian army as the excuse for an invasion of Belgium. This argu ment may appeal to Teutons but is scoffed at by the remainder of the world. Before the war all monarchs looked alike to the American people. We have now come to realize that there are kings and kings. Kaiser Wilhelm and Albert of Belgium are as differ ent and as far apart as it is possible for two men to be. Charles of Aus tria and Italy's ruler belong to sept-rate worlds. The crown prince continues to 1iam iner away at the French lines with no result -except a heavy loss of men. It Is difficult to determine what is his aim unless it is that he hopes tc- wear cut his opponents. He appears to have learned nothing at Verdun. It may be noted that he is not receiving many congratulatory telegrams from the old man. Kerensky seems destined to be come the Poo-Bah of Russia. Already he's holding the offices of premier and minister of war. The peace resolution which has been given the approval of a major ity of the reichstag does not sensibly Improve the prospect of reaching an intelligible basis for negotiation. It is not true, as the resolution declares, that .Germany took up arms :n de fense of Its liberty and independence nd for the integrity of its territories. Germany took up arms to make it im possible for liberty and independence to exist in the world except by her express permission, Which is equiva lent to saying that they should not exist at all. This was not the avowed purpose of Germany's violation of Bel gium ana ner declaration or war against France and Russia, but it would have been the inevitable result of her triumph. Nobody questions the rights of Germany and her allies "to life and development." says the New Tork Journal of Commerce, but the rations leagued against them are de termined that these rights shall not 6o exercised at their expense. Hence the demand by the powers opposed to Gninny, as indispensable conditions of peace, that Alsace and Lorraine should be 1 re-incorporated into France, and Slesvig into Denrsark; that the Kiel canal should be neutral ized and that the limits of foland should be re-established as they were before the partition of 1772. This is what the reichstag resolution calls a program of "conquest and violation" against which the German people are prepared to stand together as one man. TIME TO PAY UP. The third payment of twent? per cent on Liberty Loan bonds purchased ty installments is due on July SO. The payment must be made on or before that date according to the official statement of terms and conditions of the sale of Liberty Loan bonds made by Secretary McAdoo at the time sub scriptions were invited. Whether the bonds were purchased from the treasury or the Federal Re ceive banks or thru other banks or agencies it is important that these und succeeding installments be paid promptly. The action of many employers of labor in arranging to pay their em ployes oh July 80 Instead of August 1 in order to enable them promptly to make their payments on Liberty Loan bonds is considered an excellen. and patriotic example which no doubt will be followed by a large number of em ployers. The habit of thrift has been so preatly encouraged in America by the Liberty Loan bonds which appealed strongly to patriotism and at the same time furnished so fine an opportunity for saving, that it is believed that an era of economy and saving has been well begun in this nation. The American people are now thor oly informed in the matter of govern ment bonds and it seems the consen sus of opinion of authorities on such matters that the next Liberty Bond issue will sell more readily than the two billion dollar issue which has Just been oversubscribed fifty per cent. Thrift Joins with patriotism and hu manity to make the next bond issue success. The opinion is also expressed that the savings banks deposits in this country will grow as this habit of thrift grows. The small purchasers of Liberty Loan Bonds did not pay lor their bonds with money drawn from savings banks, but am now pay- ng for them out of new savings, and the habit of thrift thus brought about will Increase savings deposits. This has been the experience of England; Great Britain has sold since the war began over ten billion dollars in war bonds to her citizens, yet the savings banks deposits in England and Wales alone increased sixty million dollars in 1916. Now it is the German ox that has been gored and Berlin is making a long and loud howl about the British attack on Teutonic merchant ships. An air raid over a German town prob sbly would bring forth a yelp that could be heard around the world. THREE TEARS OF WAR. The third anniversary of the great war is close at hand. It will show changes infinitely beyond anything anticipated. In the political, the eco nomic and social worlds, now condi tions and new forces have been created that could never have been foreseen. With the military aspects of the war we are already familiar. War, itself. has been revolutionized and is still being waged on a scale never exner.ted and with a bitterness undreamed. In the political world the most re markable changes have arisen thru innumerable expansions of govern ment activities. Practically ai: the belligerent governments have plunged Headlong into both production and distribution of manv necessities, tn prevent exploitation of the public by the few, as well as to secure more efficient conduct of the war. It was very early recognized by the rulers of all nations that high prices and profiteering would incite political unrest at home, and make it more difficult for the various govern ments to carry on the war. Germany was already largely -committed to government control in advance. Great Britain, despite her national devotion to Individualism quickly Jumpel into, control of shipping, railroads and the production and distribution of manv staples, such as copper, wool, rubber, food, etc. This control was necessary not Only tO Shut Off Slinnlle. frnm Germany, but to insure them for her nome use. Other nations followed suit, includ ing the United States, which, nine. entering the war, has not delved quite so deep as other nations Into govern ment control of industry. The move ment here, however, says Henry Clews in his Financial Review, has proceeded on different and rather less hazardous lines, because we have ben efited by the experience of others and i.ur dangers have teen less acute- Be tween government and people in this country there has been far more co operation and much less command eering than was the case abroad. Our railroads are voluntarily work ing as a unit for the aovernmenr re ceiving pay for their services; while me British government seized control or her railways, obliging them to ren der military service free. Great Bri tain also commandeered a large per v.tuiui oi ner snipping; while we or ganized a shipping board to increase the output of ships. Great Britain assumed control of thu riiatiHbi, tion of many staple articles, and has been unsuccessfully experimenting with nrice fixlna;: whilst we nn th. other hand, are about to reguIateour food supply and the export trade leaving the matter of price fixing, it is to be hoped, to further discussion tnd experience, THE CABINET IN CONGRESS TUB TOPKKA BTATB JOCgXAl INFORMATION BCREAC By rredsrie J. Haskln. Director, WashisgtoB. O. C. Washington, 'July 23. One of the most radical changes of recent years is being proposed for oujr federal government. It is urged that cabinet officers be invited, and also required, to take seats In congress on certain fixed -days, with the privilege of ad dressing the houses and the duty of answering questions. The project finds a good deal of support tho it is a long way from becoming law yet. It is interesting at the moment rather as a sign of the times. The idea Is no new one. Apparent ly it has been aroused from a thirty-five-year sleep by the war crisis and the desire of Congress for informa tion. Many members of congress feel that they are not sufficiently well posted on "inside" details of the many tremendously important projects now under way the mobilization of the national guard and the conscript army, the anti-submarine campaign, the food conservation program, the financial plan, and half a dozen oth ers. They do not accuse anyone of trying to hide information from them, but they complain of a lack of ma chinery by owhich they can get it quickly and exactly. Hence the pro posal to seat members of the cabinet in congress, where a member with a question weighing him down can get up and ask the head of the depart ment concerned. As matters stand today, a member of congress who desires to question the administration can either pay a personal visit to the cabinet officer he wants to see, or else he can introduce a resolution calling on the executive branch to furnish congress with cer tain information. The first method has many manifest shortcomings. The interview between the member and the secretary is unofficial, there is no record of what is said for either party to fall back upon in case of dispute in the future, the information is given to only a single member of congress in stead of the whole body, and in many cases bitter political disputes of the past may make it a delicate under taking for a cabinet member and a congressman or senator to get to gether. One way of getting around the lack of a permanent record of such semi-official conferences is seen In the practice, growing more com mon, of letters written from men high in the executive branch to members of congress, and afterward given out for publication. The second method of asking a question of the administration, by In troducing a resolution, is being used quite frequently. It is a standard means for the opposing political party to put Its queries, and it sets them down on the records with great exact ness for all time. The trouble with tt as a method Is that it is slow, and that it can be delayed almost indefinitely by shunting it down some legislative sidetrack. Also, just because it is a piece of opposition tactics, it is likely to be lost on a vote. This means in effect that no man can ask a question in this way unless he can get a ma jority to back him, while it is well known abroad that the most merci less and., searching interrogatories 1 wnicn are also the most' salutary and useful usually come from minority parties. t There' are of course other 1 ways in which congress -can -question the ad ministration. The executive branch has its unofficial but well recognized spokesmen on the floors of both houses, who will rise and champion its policies when they are attacked. The heads of the important committees are authorities in the particular field that their work covers, and where the head of the committee happens to be in opposition, the leading member who supports the administration pro gram will answer questions which are directed at the executive. This ar rangement is condemned, however, by those who see in our committee sys tem one of the. leading weaknesses of our legislative plan. It is pointed out that the committee member is no sub stitute for the cabinet member. Be hind the doors of the committee room he gets more information than he divulges, in order to guide him in framing his bills. He convinces him self of the necessity for certain pro visions, and the house as a whole is often asked to take that necessity on faith. "Every line in this bill has been carefully considered by ex perts," Is about what the inquiring colleague is usually told. "If neces sary, we could convince you that it is the best possible measure. But we ask you to take oar word for It, and not to delay the game." This attitude has been- particularly marked since the declaration of war. In spite of the need for haste, there Is a large coterie of inquiring spirits In congress who want to ask questions under almost any circumstances. Doubtless there is need for haste, and obstructionists should be blasted by public opinion, but none the less these legislative interrogation points are a valuable part of the congressional machine. Measures at once so impor tant and so revolutionary as those we are adopting today need to be sub jected to all the intelligent question ing they can get. These inquiring members would like to have the sources of information where they can get at tnem. The cabinet officer on the floor of congress could refuse to answer any question where he considered that the information desired had best not be made public. The cabinet ministers abroad spend most of their time re fusing to answer questions. Never theless, no one can follow the debates in the House of Commons or the French Chamber of Deputies without seeing that the membra get a good deal of what they are after. They circle round and round the position of the minister with their queries, and by piecing tqgether his denials and his affirmations they get an idea of the state "of affairs. This is chiefly because they can ask a- dozen ques tions in ten minutes. Our systam has the defect that It may take a we.ek for a member of congress to get an an swer to a single one. It is evident that the chief merit of having cabinet officers seated in con gress would be the chance given mem bers to get information quickly and directly. It is said that congress would be quicker to enact legislation giving broad and absolute powers to the executive branch of government if it could keep a string on its laws, so to speak, by having a chance to cross-examine the heads of the exe cutive departments engaged in put ting them into effect. As it is, con gress Is slow to vote very broad pow ers, because once they are voted, the executive branch haa absolute au thority. On the other hand, there is strong opposition to having the cabinet in congress on the ground that such a plan would be out of place in our sys tem of government. It is pointed out that abroad, where all cabinet minis ters sit In the respective legislative bodies, wherever there is democratic government, at least, the cabinet is a different institution, both In theory and in practice, from eur own. The English or French cabinet, for exam pi, is continually subordinate to the legislative body. When the prime minister and the members of his offi cial family are called to account by legislators they are reporting to their masters. Any time they cannot com mand the support of the legislative branch, they fall. In this country, however, the cab inet simply stands for the president, and the president is not subordinate to congress. His office is an elec tive one, but once he is elected as, has often been pointed out he Is in many ways the most absolute mon arch in the world. He is dependent on congress for the passage of his measures, but once they are passed he can go-about their execution in his own way. In other words, our gov ernment as founded in the constitu tion, provides for a nicer balancing of the executive ard the legislative pow ers than is tr s case In the great demo cratic states abroad, where the legis lative, overshadows the executive. To seat cabinet members in congress would be equivalent to hauling the president up for cross-examination, say the opponents of the plan. Strangely .enough, there are others who oppose it' on the ground that it would Increase the ai a.dy somewhat overshadowing executive power by reason of the influence that the cab inet members would exert on mem bers of congi-ess. The proposed change is at least significant as a sign of the congressional demand for more ready access to facts.

Every woman is asking; nowadays how she can do her bit in this terrible war into which we have been plunged. Here is one concrete thins she can do. She can give the men who are going to the front a cheer. She can buck them up. She can add her courage to their courage and so make them invincible. Perhaps it is because the sacrifice that is asked of them' is so new and strange and unexpected that the women of America have not yet risen to the supreme height of being able to cheerfully offer up that which is dearer to them than life itself on the j altar of their country. Perhaps it is because women themselves find such comfort in tears that they can never understand how weeping weakens a man. fc However that may be it is a fact that the wives and mothers who have been able to turn a brave face on their husbands and sons who have started forth on that fearsome jour ney to "somewhere In France,' have been few and far between.- Most of the men who have gone, and who are about to start to answer their coun try's call, are having to fight a more dangerous and demoralizing foe than any they will ever confront in battle the despair and heartbreak of the dear women they are leaving aehind them. The officer in command of one of the training camps declared the other j aay mat tne narcest tnmg He Had to contend against was the letters the boys got from home. "These letters, filled with dark forebodings for the future and telling a man how he was missed and about the vacant chair at the table and his empty room, and how the baby cried for papa at i;ightt or how his old dog wandered about the house like a restless ghost look ing for him, and how she wept every time she saw his old hat on the rack, and how she could neither eat nor sleep, nor work nor do anything but think of the terrible things that might happen to him why," said the offi cer, "a letter like that, and '.fa the kind of letter that nine women out of ten write to their men in camp breaks a man all up so that he's no good for hours after he gets it. It completly destroys his morale.". The women who write these sob letters do it in all love and tender ness, and without a thought of the torture they are inflicting on those who are nerving themselves, as best they may, to face the horrors of the most terrible ordeal that human be ings have ever been called upon to en dure. For our men are not going ig norantly, gaily, blithely to the trench es. They know all that it means of danger and death, and they are not answering the lure of mad adventure, but the trumpet call of a solemn duty. They need all the courage that they can possibly summon up, and for the women at home to weaker, this, or to add one feather's weight o their bur den, is nothing short of cruelty. It is a turning of the knife .in a sore wound. It is a stab in the heart from which a man bleeds white of resolution and determination. How can a man go forward when hi wife or his mother writes him that every step he takes away from her is breaking her heart? What strength can he give to the grim work he has j in hand when her every letter Is sod- den with tears over his loss? What i third teaspoon of vanilla. Then add courage can he have with his mind j one cup rich sour milk in which a filled with the picture she paints for level teaspoonful of soda has been dis him of his home draped in mourning? I solved; let foam; stir this well, then Of course the womjn who write I add two cups (not large) flour and these doleful letters do not realize the stir. harm that they are doing, no do they mean everything that they say. Nor If they were In the men s places would they be as much depressod by the mel- nncholy missives as the men- are Women are comforted by 'ears and it consoles them to know that they are wept over, and so they are never able to understand that a man simply dis integrates under a woman's tears, and that they sap the last bit of courage that is in him. Therefore, when a wo man writes a man that she is weeping over his loss day and night it is just an assurance of her -love and tender ness the highest tribute she can pay him and she doesn't sense that she is tearing the heart out of his bosom and making him utterly miserable. Women also like to be pitied and they find a morbid pleasure in al ways anticipating the worst that can possibly happen. They know so little of men, even of the men nearest to them, that they do not realize that every fibre of manhood in a man re volts at compassion, that men can only struggle and achieve as long as they have hope, and so the women are literally aiding the enemy and defeating their own, when they pass on their own gloomy forebodings toJ those who are girding themselves up to strike a great blow for the world's freedom. Nobody undervalues the sacrifice of the woman who sends her -husband and son forth to war. No one min imizes her sufferings, nor depreciates her fears. The bitterness is always with those who are left behind, and the woman who sits at home and waits suffers Just as much as any bullet torn soldier at the front, for his body can only die one death, while her soul dies a thousand deaths of apprehension. But the point is this: The man must go. His country has summoned him, and it is the woman's place to make his going as easy as possible. The man is going to do his duty to his country. The woman must do her duty to her country by making her sacrifice with outward cheerfulness. She must shed her tears in secret in stead of nouring them like a rain over the marir whose backbone they will melt down into a pulp. When we have anything hard to do. what we need is a brace and not a weakening. When we have a task before us that calls for all of our strength and all of our determination, what we need is not to be pitied, nor to have the woes of another laid upon us, but to be encouraged, to be bucked up, to be made to feel that we are doing a man's part, and that we are bound to succeed. When we have a hard road to travel it is the part of unselfish love to clear the path be fore us, not to put stumbling blocks in our way. This Is the view that mothers and wives and sisters must take of the war question. They must realize that their country calls them as surely as it calls the men to the colors and that they must hoist the stars and stripes of courage instead of running up the white flag of cowardice. They must help their men to be brave by being brave themselves. They must put heart into their sons and hus bands instead of taking the heart out of them. i Iet there be no more sob letters sent to the front. Let every letter breathe hope and courage and vic tory. Lej every letter say that some- where at home there, is a dauntless woman who haa sent forth a man who she knows will be worthy of -her and of his country. Let every letter make every man who gets it feel that the woman that he loves best is right behind his back, bracing him np to do the best that is in him, and ready to reward him with the smile that is a crown of glory round every man's head. Don't write sob letters to your sol dier boy. Remember that the hand kerchief is a white flag of surrender. Brace your soldier up to do his duty and God send him safely back to you!

Never a boat nor a barge stirs up its placid waters: it drowses past like a river half asleep. Yellow is its placid sur face, of the hue of weathered gold, changing with the changing lights to tones of red and blue and violet, but always the dull gold underlies the rest: It is a beautiful color, this gold of Tagus water; it almost reconciles you to the fact that the water poured from the skins of the water-peddlers i nn th streets of Toledo is vellow and doubtful-looking, for it all comes from the river. Perhaps it is this golden color, the result after all of a prosaic admixture of silt, that accounts for the persistent delusion among the people of Toledo that the sand-bars of the Tagus con tain placer gold deposits. After high-water period you will see men and women out on the bars sifting the sand in the hope of finding nug gets. There is no record of any gold having ever been obtained in this way, tut like the old French fishermen who fish eternally in the Seine with out catching anything, the gold seek ers of Toledo continue to sally forth with their little sieves. In days past the Tagus has in truth cast up treasure, but those were ves sels of beaten gold and silver that refugees of various sorts had buried along the banks in the troublous middle ages. In one of the churches such a golden ewer was recently to be seen. Perhaps the mvt interesting thing about Tagus "water is the old beief that it was responsible for the quality of the steel in the world famous To ledo blades.' The best swords and daggers were buried red-hot in Tagus sand, and later dipped for tempering in a wooden tank of Tagus water. Thence they derived the spring and strength that made their name a synonym for excellence. It is a pretty superstition, but it has died with the rest. Nowadays the steel-makers are more concerned with percentages of chrome and nickel. HOUSEHOLD HINTS The Table.

TMAVELETTE BY HIKSAB I GLOBE siflSfflTS j EVENING ST0E1 Marina's Beecue. (By Martha McCullouifh Williams) Dusk fell before sunset because of the thickening mists. They blew up from the lowlands, where flood wat ers lapped lazily about the patient trees back waters dammed by the swifter current of the river. May tho it was, there was more than a wintry tang to the penetrating damp. Therefore Marina was out gather ing bark and chips. The winter wood pile was einsuiwu, wu. """'"J hi.n,,, demanded a fire. So the girl went out of bounds. Into the woods beyond the ragged pasture. Men had worked there in winter cutting tim ber; she knew they must nave ieit behind what would be treasure-trove to her. In the dusk she could not in stantly mark the spot, therefore she went zigzag, feeling with a little, bad ly shod foot for what she sought. Presently she found it and began eagerly to gather arms and apronful of it, but stopped with a little startled cry as she ran plump against a human figure. A man indeed! He was clearly no less startled thaji she. A whiff of smoke told her that he had a fire i close at hand his coat was beaded all over with moisture, miking it plain he had been out a long while. She looked up at him he was very tall the smother of mist all but masked him. yet she noted that he was clean-shaven and that his eyes were so deep-set that she could not mark shape or color. -What brings you here?" he asked tensely. Bhe touched her half-filled apron significantly, saying only: "Need." "Is It great enough to make you risk something?" he asked eagerly. Singularly fear had fallen away from her as soon as she spoke. She drew a deep breath, answering, "My need is immediate warmth for old age. But if the risk Is not a wicked one, 1 do not mind." "Judge!" he said thickly. "I am hunted lost unless I get word to a friend. Yet I am not a criminal I swear it before your innocence. The charre- is murder my pursuers vill lmr.K me first and prove me guilty afic-rward. far I have bafi'led them; but when you- have ben tramping, running, falling, getting up, for twelve hours, you can't go much farther. Resting a little while, I grew chilled. Thanks to the mist I dare have fire. Now will you bring me food and take or send a message? You shall have your reward "I want none," Marina said, almost haughtily. "But I shall help you I would even if I thought you guilty." "That makes me believe there Is a God after all," the man said huskily. "But you must be quick they have set bloodhounds on my trail." Marina let fall her burden, untied her apron, stripped off her skirt, and said hushedly, as she spread them before him, "Take these, run fifty yards from the fire, rpread them aown wain on yiem. taKe mtm up. ,.Xnd on ae,r me Kad .ome rub- spd,.them a" "',come b"k m!ber balls!" cried the bunny rabbit, "I and follow me, still keeping the things ha,ve.t Bny umbrelia! Well, it s a under your feet.' "Where will you take me?" the man asked. "Home." she said. "Be quick and be glad that as a child I learned to play the Indian game of breaking trail." How successfully it was broken wail proved within two hours. The dogs were utterly at fault after leaving the fire. Lanterns showed neither hoof marks nor footprints as to other scent the hounds took no note of it. So In the thick dark they could no no more than wait for daylight. The woods were wide and open, having been cut over, therefore full of devi ous trails. The best chance was to guard their exits. The fugitive must be hidden somewhere within, unless he had escaped by aeroplane. Instead he lay snug in the loft of Granny's )umber-house. Marina had been too wise, too regardful of her dear charge to risk hiding him in the cottage. So when in a wan, cheerless morning, as unlike May as might he, men came there asking the white haired gentlewoman if she had seen or heard of their quarry, she answered them with a sincerity so manifest, so gently dignified, it was convincing enough to make them ashamed. Search if they chose she had nothing to fear. Every place she would send Marina to unlock doors for them, being her self unable to walk briskly. They shook' their heads, contented them with regarding intently sundry secure ly locked doors, tried In vain to "lay on" the dogs, and finding no trace of scent, went away more than ever puzzled. For Marina had been wise enough to mask trail even In climbing the ladder to the loft. Then she had in continently burned her apron, skirt and outer petticoat, wondering a little how she should replace them or manage without them next winter. Before Granny waked she had carried food and water to her prisoner a clay's supply. It would be risky to go near him again until the pursuit was off. Still she would not waste twenty-four hours. After the would-be lynchers had left she harnessed up Gray Billy and insisted upon taking Granny to see her gossip. Sister Joy. From the Joy house she drove sn to the village five miles off, she reported to neighbors on coming back. True enough she had been there but mid way she had turned from the main road to the Galton house and talked there briefly with young Francis, the son of the family, who stared at what he heard but not quite so much as at the bearer of the news. After that things all "but arranged themselves. Upon the third night Ma rina made a clean breast of things to Innd?' the tHT:CCoTdban,toWthfa pT whFran0cl.thG.urh"wa.rend- fhem with hi- swift car. She had hardly slept since tne beginning or her adventure. After this hanov endlne adventure. After this happy ending of it she nodded so heavily that Gray Billy had things all nls own way. Be ing a wise beast, withal kfndly, he took his young mistress safe home. There she slept the clock round, with Granny purring gently over her. Granny had been a lady of spirit in her youth it pleased her mightily to find in her son's daughter all the old intrepid energy that was a hallmark of the blood. Murder will out Less than a month after Marina's rescue, the real crim inal discovered himself. He was a poor lost soul in the grip of recurrent concrenital Insanity. Then the coun tryside shuddered In thankfulness over what it had escaped. But before that young Francis Galton had said things to Marina that made Granny's cheeks flush and glow as in youth. He had come to them bearing gifts registered gold bonds for 150,900. William Benton had sent them, not In payment, but in gratitude. Francis had to make that very, very plain be fore proud Granny would even con sider them. Also he made- it plain that Benton was rich enough never -to think again of his gift and. that he would be sadly hurt bylts Granny began then to cons er- f" cis, whispering apart. turned suddenly upon her a. face, crying: "We don't care what you do about tha money.

Uncle Wiggily saw a little bird, with bright yellow feathers, try ing to lift a piece or Dread rrom tne ground. But the bread, tho it was not. as large as half a slice would be to one of you children, was to the yellow bird quite too large to lift and fly away with. "And, oh!

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1917 HAS PEACE PLAN J. Ham Lewis Thinks Germany Ready for Allies' Terms. Democratic Whip Springs a Big Surprise in Senate. Washington. July 24. Senator Lewis of Illinois, the Democratic whip, has announced in the senate that he will soon offer a resolution to pre pare the way for peace negotiations in which this country shall take th lead. He interpreted the address of Chan cellor Michaelts to the reichstaj as a direct bid to the United States to in augurate a peace movement among its allle.-i. "Teace within six months, or six years of war." was the keynote of Senator Lewis's speech, which was "istened to with profound attention and manifest surprise by the members of the senate. I le declared that the chancellor's speech had convinced him the time is ut hand for opening; tTie way to peace, that Germany is only waiting to have terms suggested by some of her op ponents, and the "house of Hohenzol lern would rather have peace on the allies' terms and remain in power than to have peace on the terms of some of the Germans and be overthrown Acceptable Terms. Senator Lewis said there are three primary conditions of peace to which he believes Germany will give ready assent at this time. These are: First Restoration of Belgium. Second Return to France of the French territory now held by Ger many. Third Return of the Balkan coun tries to their previous status. He said that after these had been jrreed upon and he felt sure they would be acceptable to both sides, an International board composed of rep resentatives from all the warring countries, including the United States, should be formed to settle all other questions growing out of the war. He said the future status of Italy, of France and ht Belgium could be set tled by such a tribunal. In regard to the future of Germany, Senator Lewis said he believed that even if peace should come at this time the present form of government would not last long on account of the aroused feeling of the people, which, he said, was bound to find expression as it had in Russia. Answer to Borah. Responding to a suggestion by Sen ator Borah that the President had said the world could not be safe for democracy so long as the German au tocracy remains in power. Senator Lewis said that he did not believe the president meant any interference with the internal rule in Germany, and that if after peace had been concluded the German dynasty should tall, America could be said to have contributed to that result. One suggestion made by Senator Lewis aroused opposition which was voiced bV Senator King, of Utah, and that was that in order to further the restoration of Belgium all of the countries at war should make contri butions to a fund for this purpose. Senator King said this suggestion was abhorrent to him, and that there should be no talk of peace until Ger many asks for it. FORD DENIES RUMOR Rome Hears Be Was Randy to Give IS Million to Socialists. Detroit. Mich.. July 24. Henry Ford's secretary, George Liebold, branded as a falsehood the report from Rome that Kord would have contributed $16,000,000 toward the Socialist effort to secure peace before America's war declaration. Liebold says the story was abso lutely without foundation. Socialist Deputy Morgari, returning from Stockholm to Rome, was the source of the report.

His Labor Church, However, -Will Continue Here. RINGLING BROS. BIG CIRCUS HERE TOMORROW Topeka is to have a permanent working-man's church, according to Jack Godwin, labor evangelist who has been conducting a series of meet ings in North Topeka for the last three months. It will be organized without a "creed" and without any of the frills of the "beggar-aristocratic" church of the usual type. Overalls, blue shirts and gingham aprons will make up the congregation of the new church. Contributions will be made bytthe congregation of their own free will and the church will be a religious meeting place of the labor ers of Topeka. The new church will receive the support of the industrial council of ii '"K' awuiunig to tti m:irs recently j aiiiaiuiB in me iraae unionists. Its official organ, and will be patron ized by every laborer in the city. A permanent leader for the church has not yet been selected. Jack Godwin, with a happy smile on his face, stated today that he was leaving Topeka. He has accepted a challenge sent out by a resident of Frankfort, Kansas, who took a slap at his church. He will open a church there August 12 and will conduct a special series of lectures for the citi zens and will not leave until he has won the whole town, he stated this morning. In the meantime, until August 12, he will hold services at Bonner Springs. last Sermon Here. The church in Topeka, which he founded, organized and has perma nently established, has grown from a mere handful ot tired work ingmen to a houseful of ardent fol lowers not of Godwin but of his freer belief. He will give his last ser mon In Topeka tonight and will leave immediately for Bonner Springs. As a parting shot at the hated aristocrats, who are pampered by the "wonderfully costly'' church and bled by a thousand foreign mission ary societies, and hundreds of para sitic ministers, who jingle other men's shekels in their creased jeans, he told of his standing on the state house steps and looking at six costly churches all within a radius of a half mile. "Think of It, a pastor, janitor, matron and maybe others supported by the congregations of each of these churches," he opened fire. "And here the government is preaching con servation of resources, financial and natural. Here the happy Topekans are supporting six ministers, keeping up six expensive buildings, paying six electric light bills and paying for va cations of their pastors. It is con servation maybe. Hits "Ping Hat" Ministers. "Every single person of these six churches could be housed in the larg est building and five other buildings could be thrown over to the home less that are suffering right under the aristrocrats' turned-up noses. It is fine to send money to India and to China and to Africa, but when it eomes to fteip the home people, that's up to someone else.' The local church has nothing to do with local affairs. They have a bigger field than mere Topeka." Then he continued on a slaughter of these "plug hat" ministers of the gospel who go on costly vacations on money donated for church work. He declared that ministers who in the summer go to a northern resort where cool lake breezes blow thru the cur tained windows of a costly summer cottage, are about as sincere in their religious work as the devil Is at converting souls to Christianity and about as effective, too. t With this attack on the modern version of "Churehanity" as a parody on "Christianity," Godwin walked away towards the nearest soda fountain. r'"L ''"CV, SPB h 1- -y V"i 17 x TRACE MISSING GIRL Believe It Was Miss Armstrong Who Escaped From Man In Anto.

Permanent Camp of the American Expeditionary Army in France, July 24i Pay day having come and gone and the money market tightening fast, Pershing's Sammies had to stop spending today. As it was, the French town near the camp has been stripped already of watches, jewelry, trinkets, stationery and other knick knacks. Typical French traveling bazaars, ar riving today with their dazzling stores of trinkets, encountered plenty of curiosity, but not a great number of spenders among the Sammies. The day s drill program now is a long and systematic pull at the French bayonet, hand grenade and trench mortar methods. Interpreters Scarce. Staff officers are scouring the country for new billets for succeed ing contingents of Gen era d Pershing's army. They have penetrated to many villages where the sight of an Ameri can uniform was a novelty and con sequently have been feted and wel comed enthusiastically.

"The government brands the deliv ery' system as waste," writes President Voil&nd, "and contemplates Us com plete elimination from our present consmercial structure during the time we are at war with a foreign foe. II is desired to accomplish this by co operation of the people, but failing in this, legislation prohibiting the use' of mjtor trucks and horses for this de livery purpose will follow as a mili tary necessity. "Merchants naturally are loath to adopt plan calling for curtailment of service, but feel that when the good sense of this American public is awakened to the vital principle of economy involved, they will respond in a patriotic spirit. The abolition of the delivery system means the addi tion of millions of dollars to the na tional fund for defense, because every user of mer handise will become a participant in this work. "Under the present order of things. delivery charges are made against every consumer. It is provided for in the overhead or fixed charges or every store. If every buyer carried his carryable package, he will, in this manner, assist in reducing the cost of living." EXTORT FROM SERBS Austria and Bulgaria Charged With Exploiting Captive Nation.

'LL EXPENSES ARE HIGH Coal Prices Should Be Higher, He, Asserts. Miners Have Gotten 35 Cents Increase In Wages. Governor Capper received mislead ing information concerning prices of soft coal at Kansas mines or mis quoted prices, according to statements of coal operators. Recently the gov ernor stated that soft coal was- selling at Kansas mines at $4.75 to $5 a ton Operators have generously offered the govepior all the soft coal he desires for jorsonal or state use at $3.50 a ton. It is a pathetic plea which the coal operators make. They admit that price have advanced,. So have prices for all other necessities. And the co-.l operators have been compelled to meet the increased cost of machinery snd wagfrM F. W. Lukins, president of the Southeastern Coal Operators' associa tion, has Issued a statement in which he declars that wages to miners have increased thirty-five cents a ton and that all mines lost money last year and tu majority of the mines may be compelled to meet losses this year.

During a bit ter debate today between Democrats and Republicans on Senator Penrose's resolution to investigate the commit tee on public information. Senator Penrose declared administration of both war and navy departments were marked by indecision and inefficiency. He proposed early investigation. Senator James of Kentucky, l'mo crat. replying, referred to "Copper headism and sniping" in the senate v nd said Senator Penrose was at tempting to play "peanut politics" by making baseless charges. The starting point of the debate was Senator Penrose's resoJution attack ing the official account of the fight between German submarines and American transports on the way to France. From that it branched oul into a wide range of war topics and developed considerable adverse criti cism of the administration from the Republicans, culminating in a vigor ous speech by Senator James criticis ing Senators Penrose and Lodge. Senator Lodge interjected that con gress had the right to inquire how war appropriations are spent. "Does the senator mean to uuggest that the president is not spending this money properly?" demanded Senator James with anger. "I never implied any such thing, returned Senator Lodge. "But the president is not sacred and we have the right to inquire about public ex penditures." WAS IT FAKEDRAFT? Orders From Fifth Missouri Regiment Ordered Men to Report. St. Louis. Mo.. July 24.

ASK $2,194 DAMAGES Pinehurst Family, Forced To Live in Chicken House, Files Suit. Suit for $2,194 damages for alleged breach of contract was filed in the Shawnee district count late Monday afternoon by H. A. rand Daisy Han sen, Kenova road, Pinehurst, against Mary A. Lovltt, Leonard S. Lovitt and William M. Lovltt. The plaintiffs claim that they con tracted with the Lovitts for a loan of 9800 to finance the erection of a home in Pinehurst. The money, it Is alleged, was to have been paid to a lumber company for lumber that the plaintiffs would order. Of the 5800 it is claimed only S440 was paid and then the Lovitts notified the lumber company that they wouldn't pay for any more. The petition asserts that because of the alleged breach of contract, the building of the home was delayed and the Hansens were forced to live in a chicken house. For this alone they ask $750 damages, because of pain and suffering they claim to have en dured. The other items of damage include the increase in the cost of lumber, labor and -delay. BOOST E. L. OVERTON Friends Urge Mayor House to Make Him Chief of Police. Thirty members of the Chamber of Commerce today signed a petition ad dressed to Mayor House urging the appointment of E. L.

Troutman is one signer to the petition. C. H. Trapp is another. There are others who signed the peti tion whose names have the same ef fect on the mayor's disposition as a red flag has on a bovine of the sterner sex. The bets are two lo one that the petition will reach the mayor's waste basket quicker than a communication from the Kansas League of Munici palities. Mayor House announced Saturday that he had selected his chief of po lice and that the identity of the chief would remain a secret for fcur or five weeks until the morning he asks- for the confirmation of the appointment from the city commissioners.

While not anticipating trouble, every step has been taken to check any disturbance on the day men are summoned before boards t .v exami nation. s Thus far the only evidence of pos sible trouble is found in isolated or ganizations' of so-called "conscien tious objectors. These organizations and other "pacifist" groups are being watched. To keep in close touch with the sit uation, the provost marshal general's office is maintaining a "barometer of public opinion." Scores of newspa pers are read carefully every day. In every item telling of sporadic in stances of resistance to registration or draft the names of "objectors" are noted. By putting into the hands of the people themselves the operation of the draft machinery, the war depart ment believes it has avoided riots.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER IN TRIUMPH iQy 7rt7ve R&te. rehouse (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) Odd shades of brown combined in fabrics and embroideries are used for gowns made in medieval fashion. New York. July 17. Woodland shades o" brown have been associated with women's apparel since the ear liest stages of our race. We think of the first clothing that women ever wore as being in shades of brown, running from deepest russet to dapple cream. In the Stone Age, the women are always represented as wearing skins in several shades of brown, and,, as the world progressed in civilization p.nd women put on more clothing. they still clung to what are known as the woodland shades. They spun their own v homespuns and embroidered their own head draperies in tones of Frock of citron colored taffeta with the collar, girdle and soutache braid in brown. russet, dead leaf and tree trunk brown. These were considered the service able shades during an epoch of our civilization when fashions were known but not changed more than once in a decade. Again the Woodland Shades. We have gone thru a phase of medievalism in dress, and the de signers have brought into fashion all j kinds or queer accessories that were worn by the women and men of the tenth century. The straight, primi tive line from shoulder to heel has been with us for two years and has been accepted over the civilized world. The goret of medieval days was re vived by Mrs. Castle and has been taken up by women who dress in a fantastic manner. This was the head dress of the Crusaders and it was worn by men back in the tenth cen tury, as a protection to the head and neck. The fashion of wearing a small cap of colored chiffon or satin, over which the hat is placed. Is another revival of those bygone centuries. When the first medieval fashions 24 Ss were brought into existence for the modern woman, the colors were those of the fourteenth, rather than the tenth century. The designers saw in purple, crimson and green along with gold and silver embroideries a chance to make things brilliant and spec tacular. Perhaps they did not wish to give women the primitive lines along with the primitive colors, for fear that they would not accept them. Today, since the straight line has been taken into the fashions, with warm approval, the designers evident ly believe that they can bring oacK the woodland colors, the original tones e brown, beige and deep cream which prevailed before the line art or aye ing was mastered by the Italian. Girdles Break Straight Lines. This summer, there is more of an attempt to break the medieval line than to maintain it. The girdle is de pended upon to do the work. The colors of the early centuries, however. re coming more into prominence as the season advances, and the gown which is sketched today and which is made in several tones of brown, is ex ceedingly interesting. The material itself is taffeta, with a thin wool thread thru it, a weave that was suggested by the early work in cloth. The color is citron brown, and the collar, girdle and embroidery done with braid are in other tones of brown. Especial attention is drawn to the wide girdle effect which is vastly be coming to the majority of women. The bodice is cut on straight lines, and there is a prnMitive embroidery in brown braid around the figure above the waistline. Below this there is a girdle of braid which drops into points at each side, to give the long line on the hips, which always adds to the outline of any figure. The sleeves are long, without break from armhole to wrist, and are fitted snugly into the lower arm, according to the decree of summer. It is not an easy task to fasten a sleeve around the wrist in a manner that is grace ful, but the amateur, as well as the expert, is struggling with it.

A man thrust his head out of a window and excitedly called out: "A woman has fainted in here! Has anyone any whisky?"

SHALL WAVE" SEND A MILLION Enlarge Plans for American Army Abroad at Once. First Draft Army To Be Sent to France Soon. Washington, July 24. An American army of one million men for service abroad at once instead of the 500,000 contemplated for the first draft foreshadowed by the governments re quest for an additional $5,000,000,000 made to the senate finance committee today. The first million men are to be made up of the first draft army of 600.C00, the National guard and the regulars. It is improbable that the first draft will be increased but the government is arranging its finances for other drafts without the necessity of going to congress again for money. Can Transfer Examination. The military has no hand in the draft until the training process starts. Only a lew men are summoned at time before the tribunals. Men who registered on June fifth in one city and now reside in another will not have to answer the draft in the place of registration. "Local boards may order the physi cal examination of any person called and the hearing on a claim for ex emption or discharge transferred to another local board," the exemption regulations state. 20 BILLION FIRST YEAR Approximately 10 Billion Already Ap propriated in War Expense. Washington, July 24. America's war cost will approach $20,000,000, 000 the first year. Senator Smooth, member of the finance committee, de clared in the senate today. Up to the present approximately ;iU,UUU,Uuu,oou has been appropriated. Today Secretary McAdoo appeared be fore the finance committee to outline another budget amount to $5,000,000, 000 for the war department. "This would bring the total appro priations of this congress up to $14, 922,000,000," Smoot said. "A sum almost as great as the total bond is sues of Great Britain during three years of war." In addition to this enormous sum, Smoot declared, congress would soon be called upon to authorize $5,000,00, 000 more for the allies. Hold Up Committee Report. This will bring the total up to ap proximately $20,000,000,000 the first year. Decision to hold up the $1,670, 670,000 revenue bill, until Secretary of the Treaury McAdoo can submit to congress the complete new budgets from all government departments, was reached this afternoon by the senate finance committee. McAdoo told the committee details of the new estimates were not yet complete. He told the finance com mittee It was estimated that an ad ditional credit of $2,000,000,000 to be loaned to the allies also would be requested. IN A FLAG QUANDARY 3. Will Kelley Wires for Description of Russian Emblem. J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, telegraphed today to the state department at Washington for a description of the Russian flag. Until the Chamber of Commerce discovers the flag adopted by the last party in power in Russia, the work of making flags for the en tertainment of the commission Friday morning cannot begin.

END U-BOAT CAREER Accidentally Comes Up Under Big Steamer in Mid-ocean. A Gulf Port, July 24. The- unre stricted career of a Gern-an submar ine recently came to swift end when that craft,, in coming to the surface. rose directly beneath a big steamer of the Alfred Holt line, a short distance out of Liverpool, according to the master of a steamer docking here to day. With attention apparently focused entirely on disposing of a smaller steamer several miles away, the sub marine crew was unaware of the larger steamer. Both were moving in the same general direction. The ship careened sharply from the upward blow, but immediately slid safely from the enemy's back. The subma rine came up only a few hundred feet away and, fully exposed, furnished a fine target for the ship s gunners. A few well placed shots were sufficient. The roHing motion of the vessel is believed to have saved it. As the steamer rolled toward the U-boat the gunners were given their chance to fire. From their high mounting the suns could not have been brought to bear on a target so near, from a level deck. WHO WILL GET JOB? City Hall Speculates on the Successor to Elmer Stahl.

Oxford University.) London. July 24. In war the in fantry soldier is a day laborer and a beast of burden. From the English channel to Verdun there is at this moment a belt of country a mile or two wide which is seamed and scarred with endless white lines, which, when you come clone to them, prove to be rows of irregular, deep trenches, their aides supported by woodwork or wicker-work and here and there pierced with shafts running deep down into the earth to underground chambers, where the troops are guarded from shells during the bombardment which precedes the attack. All this earth has been turned by the infantry soldier. When you see him marchinft he is earrytng on his body everything that is indispensable, his kit. hia food, his rifle and cart ridges, his steel helmet, his gas mask. He Is one of a thousand moving for hours along a dusty or a muddy road. There is a man Just in front of him, another Just behind him and one on either side. His normal day Is to march or dig. It Is a weary monotony from which the excitement of a fight Is an occasional relief. In a good army very thoro arrangements are made to cause the march to be as lit tle irksome as possible to the men in the ranks. Invented Man-bin.

I should not like to let you go without touching on a larger aspect of the war. The struggle now under way ha- had no parallel for many centuries. The changes In the ma chinery of war tho they have been enormous are really but a trifle. In the art of generalship, there are no chances. But this is a conflict con cerning the spirit in which humanity Is in future to govern itself or be governed. Like Alexander the Great. The Prussians aspire to deal with "Europe as Philip and Alexander of Macedon dealt with Greece. Their object is to be at the head of Europe and then of the world. The conflict resembles also that be tween Carthage and Rome. The Rom ans were successful and for many cen turies the civilized world spoke the Iatin tongue and was regulated by Roman law. Out of that Roman world grew the world we know. Ger many means to repeat the exploits of the Romans and make a German world.

YOUNG MAN, IF YOU ARE DRAFTED, THIS IS THING YOU'LL HAVE TO MEET BEFORE Repul American boys of draft age may aa well become familiar now with what they will hare to contend with when they reach the firing line next spring. This reproduction of a painting try an eye-witness shows the re-. pulse recently of a German f,as attack southeast of Arras. Bayonets were freely used, and everyone who took part in the engagement had to, wear a gaa-mask. The Germans finally retired, leaving many dead on the bloody field. compromise and why we think the victory of the Allies is as needful for America as for Europe. In war, time is everything and the character of a modern war, of war for a cause that affects all the world, is that there is no limit to the liabili ties to be incurred. It is a national affair. The whole nation must take part. Shorf of that it is folly to look for victory. Xeeds Great Statesmen Too. If America fas to fight with her might she needs a great statesman to guide her and a great commanier for her army and her navy. Of the qual ities of a commander I already have spoken. Those of a statesman are the same. I remember the time when America produced a statesman. No one suspected him of being a great man. He was rgarded as an uncouth backwoodsman, with a sense of humor and a fund of good stories. By what seemed the chance of an election in which there were party divisions, the man from Illinois was elected. He had one quality, not too com mon among politicians the single eye. By the time his work was done America knew she had had a great statesman. I believe that if America is true to herslf that kind of recogni- tion may yet be repeated. 'Atmsr Th-erineon.

Church is not always the quietest place in the community, according to a petition for divorce filed by Alfred Wade against his wife, I del la. On one occasion she disturbed the quiet of church and slightly ruffled her hus band in church when she picked up a chair and struck him over the head with it, the petition states. The cross petition of the wife charges Wade with nonsupport, extreme cruelty and gross neglect. Horace Hall is still having his Red Cross trouble. This morning he dis covered a prominent Topekan who had been given $100 for the Red Cross and had invested nearly half the amount in a French orphan and in the navy league. It was mighty fine for the orphan but it shows how little a man can do and how far he will go under the direction of his wife, who is incidentally interested in adopt ing French kids. Clients of the Topeka doctors, who have enlisted for amy medical service, will be cared for by a medi cal association, according to plans suggested by the Shawnee county medical society.

E. E. Frlxell presided, and Dean Edward C. Johnson of the agricul tural college and chairman of the or ganization committee of the state council of defense presented the plan of the state -council for handling the problem. It was the sentiment of the meeting that most Pawnee county farmers would be able to provide themselves with seed, but it was realized that some could not. and that a good many would seed larger acreages if they could divide the risk of furnishing a part of the seed. The plan of the state eouncil to as sist in providing a supply of seed to be furnished on the crop share basis was adopted and a seed wheat com mittee elected to co-operate in carry ing out ths work. A. H. Moffet, W. L. Earl. John E. Wagner, of Larned; H. B. Heileg, of Rozel; R. M. Morris, of Burdette; and R. C. Slepake, of Garfield, represent the bankers, and E. E. Frizell, of Larned; J. K.

Exemption of all expert farm help from ths first draft is demanded by Illinois farmers in re turn for which they promise the na tion one of the greatest crops ever gathered in this state as their "bit" toward winning the war.

Onir 5,000 of .formal Popula tion of 115,000 Remain. (By the Associated Press.) French Front. July 24. Rheime Is wilting. The big cathedral city of the Champagne district has the ap pearance of a hollow shell whichhas collapsed in parts and is rapidly subsiding into a shapeless mass. Not only the cathedral but all the public buildings and private dwelling houses have suffered terribly In the last half year from the vengeance of the German gunners, who have turned a rain of shells to the stricken city whenever their armies have been de feated at any point of the front. These defeats have been so frequent, either on a small or large seals since the allied offensive began this year, that the city has rarely passed more than two or three days without under going severe bombardment. The extent of the undeserved pun ishment may be gathered from the figures relating the number of shocks of all calibres poured into the streets and on the cathedral during a single fortnight from June IS to June 28. The total between those two dates was no fewer than 14,052. lloftl School Voder Ground. There are only 5,000 persons left out of a peace time population of about 115,000. Among them are a goodly proportion of women and chil dren. Some of the younger women have continued their work thruout, many of them being employed in the champagne cellers where during the day they are comparatively safe from the German fire. School Is still being carried on. the classes being held below the street surface and the municipal govern ment 'also is conducted in the bowels of the earth where the city fathers meet to discuss relief measures. A visit to Cardinal Tucon. archbish op of Rheime. who has never for a moment thought of deserting hj post near the cathedral, found him in a very confident spirit and in full belief that the allied victory was assured. He referred in the course of the con versation to the great help he had re ceived, from America and from the other allies. The American- consulate, which has not been occupied since early In the war. has not suffered greatly from the bombardments. One shell pierced the roof and left some marks of its ex plosion while all ths windows have been destroyed, Cathedral Utter Ruins. In the cathedral Itself a great change has taken place, in recent months. Great gaping holes show In the roof. All the ancient stained glass has fallen out in millions of frae men on to the stone floors and as a consequence of shell expTosions in and pround the building the statues of saints are calcined and crumbled; fre quent craters show in the floors, all he woodwork has succumbed to the flames and at any moment a big shell may cause the whole structure to col lapse. Nearly TOO shells have hit the building. One of them a twelve-Inch projectile did not explode and it now btands on its base beside one of the pillars of the nave. DOLLAR WORTH LESS It Will Now Bny as Much as 40 Cents Before War. Chicago, July 24. One hundred and ten manufacturers, whose wares in clude everything from a hook and eye to a wedding trousseau, are gathered in convention here and expressed the opinion that the buying ability of the American dollar is lessening. Its ability to get its owner food or cloth ing or other necessaries is now only 40 cents on the dollar, the manufac turers say. Owing to scarcity of labor, the manufacturers say, cotton which last year sold for 8 and 9 cents a pound now brings 20 cents.. They are look ing for the prices to reach (0 and 40 cents even with a bumper crop. "It Is impossible to estimate what a piece of wool will cost next year." said William Levy, of New York. "Last year the same piece of good could be bought for one dollar. Rea sons are crop shortage, labor short age and government contracts." GREAT SEA BARRIER Anti-TT-Boat Defense Is 20 Miles Long and Connected to Mines. A British Port on the Southeast Coast. July 24. Across the eastern mouth of the English channel there still stretches the Great Barrier which is one of ths principal defenses of the vital channel traffic against the visits of the German submarines. The "barrage" they call the barrier In naval phrase. It consists, m gen eral terms, of a series of "obstruc tions" stretched from huge buoys, shore to shore, twenty odd milea Any craft which strikes. one of these obstructions straightway explodes a croup of mines which spell finis to tha intruder. -A whole fleet of naval shipping is constantly engaged In maintaining and patrolling the great barrier. Its ex istence is no secret to the Germans for they are constantly sending over air planes to chart tbe buoys and mark any changes that may have been made since their last visit. Last week the Germans tried a new plan to break the barrier. They sent over three seaplanes with orders to descend low over the barrier at any risk and shoot their machine guns into the buoys thus sinking them and the barrier with them. But the patrol boats were on hand and two of the three seaplanes never returned to their German home.

A., on guard at the cable station, his sentries saw the three men in a power boat trying to lift one of the cables out of the shallow water. The cable are the French, Mexican and South Ameri can. All are under government con trol. The French cable is constantly loaded with messages to and from the American army headquarters in Paris. The boat in which the three men was seen is the Arab, owned by Pol lock. Velsor and a squad put out in a boat toward the Arab, shouting to the men to "cut loose." To emphasize the order the soldiers fired ten shots, all intentionally high and seaward. "Velsor declared that Pollock struck him as soon as he climbed over the Arab's rail and sought to throw him overboard. He silenced Pollock with the butt of his revolver. The three men were taken to the cable station and later to Coney Island police station. The men claimed they were fishing for fluke and that the arrest was the biggest "fluke" they had encountered. They declared they did not know the cables were there, as there was no warning sign. HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN BY HER HAIR There is real common sense in Just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the few who try to make the most of your hair remember that it is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good preparation made expressly for shampooing. You can en joy the very best by, getting some canthrox from your druggist, dissolve a tea spoonful in ft cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre ar.n softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp -gains the health which insures hair growth. Adv. ait W v-i V WOMEN CAN BE OF USE "Carry Your Parcel" Campaign Con ducted in Topeka by Merchants. At a well attended meeting of the Topeka Retailers' association at the Chamber of Commerce Monday, it was decided to enter into a campaign for the propagation of the ideals ad vanced by the national council of de fense on the curtailment of deliveries. The larger stores of the city had signed an agreement to limit deliv eries to one a day, and tacitly it is un derstood that North Topeka, Oakland and the East side will be served at 10 o'clock in the morning and the West side at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Special deliveries will be made on de mand at 10 cents per package. It was pointed out by representa tives of the large stores that unless a large per cent of packages were car ried by the patrons it would be im possible to maintain this service with out the addition of more equipment and it was decided to -appeal to the women, thru their organizations, to carry as much merchandise as possi ble. Several women were present and reported that the sentiment among the women is that they will enter heartily into the new arrangement. A committee W. W. Whitney, A. P. McKown, Fred Buechner, Charles H. Matthews and Mrs. W. G. Lormore was appointed by President Fred Voiland for the purpose of mapping out a campaign of education to ac quaint every housewife in tie city of the new order of things. The com mittee will go farther and enlist every retailer in the new plan. It was es timated that one-third of the de livery trucks can be dispensed with and a large quantity of gasoline saved for the use of the army. Also that the men used in the deliveries can be saved and the labor turned in to the more urgent channels. It developed that already a large per cent of the groceries and all of the coal men were charging for each de livery. It was stated that deliveries now cost the merchants approximately eight cents per package on an aver age and that this cost could be saved to the consumer and thus offset some what the constantly rising cost. The effect of the movement will be to take the cost of delivery out of the over head expense where it is now charged to general expense and thus dis tributed over the entire line of mer chandise and place it directly on the shoulders of those who receive the service. If the consumer chooses to carry goods home the average saving will be eight cents per package. Rubs Labor Envoys in London. London, July 24. The Russian del egates elected by the Council of Work men's and Soldiers" delegates to con fer with the labor parties of er tente countries, have arrived in England. They will be guests of the labor party of England for a few years and then will proceed to Paris. The delegates are M. Vensanoff and M. Erhch of Moscow and M. Goidenberg and M. Smirnoff of Petrograd, North Side News Dr. Charles of the Boys' Industrial school has been making Interesting observations upon the the effect of war conditions upon crime and delin quency. According to Dr. Charles' statistics show that In European coun tries the amount of crime has in creased about 100 per cent since the beginning of the great war. For a long time the Industrial School has hardly had room to ac commodate the large numbers of boys it was desired to send there. Within the last three weeks, reports show, .1e linquency has increased to a marked degree thruout Kansas. To what ex tent this delinquency is a result of war conditions and of a peculiar war psychology, is a problem of which Dr. Charles is making a systematic study. He has written to England for fur ther particulars about conditions and the manifestations of criminality there, and hopes to be able to draw conclusions concerning the local sit uation, valuable in the study of de linquent and subnormal children. The Industrial School has a ten acre field of potatoes which will yield 100 bushels to the acre. Most of the field crops on the school farm are suffering from the drouth. According to Frank Simms, presi dent of the North Topeka civic club, that organization is preparing to launch a movemnt to urge the Union Pacific Railroad company to build a hotel in conjunction with the new North Topeka station appropriation for which has already been made. The plans for the new station do not include accommodations for hotel fa cilities, and it Is believed that the railroad can be persuaded to add an other story to the plans for the sta tion. The Union Pacific hotel is one of the oldest in the city. When the present station is torn down it will have to go. As an adjunct to the station, It has proved convenient for railroad men stopping here. If the present plans of the civic club work out a commit tee may go to Omaha, the headquar ters of the U. P., and present their view of the situation to officials. Mer chants consider tt important in the interests of North Topeka that such a hotel be built. Social and Personal. Union Prayer meeting In North To peka will be held Thursday evening at the Christian church. Rev. J. C. Scheer of the Methodist church. will have charge of the service. Golden Rule lodge. No. 90, will meet Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at the hall, 911 North Kansas avenue. Joe Pollom of Grantville was in North Topeka this morning on busi ness. A. M. Petro, the Druggist. Adv.

AIM OF BIG AIR RAID Germans Tried To Iestroy Bank of England With Bombs. An American Port, July 24. Ger man airmen made strenuous efforts to destroy the Bank of England in the great air raid on London, July 7, ac cording to passengers arriving here from England. A squadron of nearly twenty planes swooped down upon the bank while anti-craft guns from high buildings in the neighborhood poured in a hot fire. The Germans threw down dozens of bombs, but none of them struck the Bank of England. One struck the Swiss bank, where a num ber of persons had sought refuge, and injured several persons. Organize Rural Churches. Chicago, July 24. Bad roads and inadequate transportation were as signed as the chief handicaps in the organization of churches in the coun try districts at the opening session of the rural church conference here yes terday. Dr. Paul Zogt of Philadel phia, superintendent of rural work in connection with the board of home missions, asserted that lack of organ ization among the farmers presented the greatest difficulties to those who seek to make religious work in the city and the country identical. GOOD CROWD OUT Many Heard Dr. Williams's Monday Night Sermon. Financial Flan of Meeting Ex plained to Audience. A large Monday night audience was present at the Williams-Robinson tab ernacle meetings on Eleventh and Lincoln streets. Song-Leader John E. Moore led the large chorus and con gregation In singing a number of new. swinging, catchy hymns that seemed to put the people in the right mood for the vigorous and stirring sermon delivered by the evangelist. Several local ministers sat on the platform. Adjutant W. G. Houser, of the Salvation Army, and Rev. D. B. Williams, of the Free Methodist church, offered prayer. Miss Eunice Oakes sang with great depth of feel ing "The Old Rugged Cross," the re cital of which, in song, brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. In making the announncements. Dr. Williams called attention to the fi nancial plan of the- campaign, stat ing that the initial expense had been underwritten by the local committee at whose invitation the party came to Topeka, they having deposited a rim of money for that purpose in the Central National Bank, which Is drawn upon by the local treasurer, K. N. Pomeroy. The collections 4ov the first three weeks of -the campaign are used to refund the money so ad vanced, and for the further local ex pense of the campaign. Should there be a deficiency in the collections, then the local committee will pay their pro rata share according to subscriptions previously made for that purpose. The last week a free will offering will be taken for the evangelists, who come to this city with their large party and expensive outfit without the guarantee of any certain sum. Monday night Dr. Williams deliv ered the second of a series of sermons on "What Adam lost in the Fall, and the Relation it Bears to the Human Family Today," the subject being "Adam's Sense of his Loss, or Why Men are Afraid to Meet God.'

Records which were recently made public thru the columns of a medical journal, com prising a list of fatalities in various branches of sports for the past ten years, show that baseball is a more dangerous sport than football or box ing. The calamity howlers who have had football and boxing on the pan for a number of years may not have so much to say when they discover this fact, for fact it is. ,The fatality lists were compiled by Dr. Robert J2. Coughlin, a prominent New York medical man, and were gathered care fully and compiled from year to year. They embrace baseball, football, box ing, rowing, automobile racing, tennis, golf, bo-vling, aviation, walking, run ning, horse racing and every branch of sport in which there is a liver in terest. The Best Safeguard. In discussing the features of his compilations, Dr. Coughlin made the point that the best safeguard against injuries in any branch of sports is per fect physical condition, and urged that those who go in for sports of any kind should make themselves physically lit before indulging liberally in their fa vorite pastimes. Let us have games, athletics, base ball, pugilism, golf, tennis, cricket, running, rowing, swimming, sprint ing, basketball, cycling, wrestling, skating, dancing, jumping, bowling, football and all-around performances by all means. But let us make our young men physically lit to survive athletic competition without suffering injury to their constitutions," wrote Dr. Coughlin. "In this way we may hope to make them Ideal soldiers of the future." Football Is Second. The figures compiled, however, are by far the most interesting to the I average reader. They show that in ten years 284 players were killed on me DaseDaii diamonds of the country, and this number tops the total num ber of fatalities in any other sport branch. Football comes second with 215 deaths, while automobile racing, long considered little better than sui cide, is third with 114. Boxing, one of the most condemned of the so called dangerous snorts, is fourth. with 105 fatalities. The cycling game has resulted in the death of seventy-seven riders within ten years- time, while horse racing comes sixth on the list, with a total of fifty-four, nd wrestling seventh with fifteen. One would hardly expect to see the mild old game of golf in this list, but according to Doctor Coughlin, no less than four teen golfers have met death on the links. This is within one of the total football fatalities for 1916, when fifteen players lost their lives, so it is possible to figure that football is just about ten times as dangerous as golf. Other sports included in the list, together with the deaths for ten years, are as follows: Bowling, 9; gymnas tics, 3; hammer throwing, 1; bike coasting. 1; handball, 1; polo, 2; weight lifting, 2; lawn tennis, 1; vaulting and dancing, 1.
