Shawnee county's second contingent left for Fort Riley. The contingent numbered forty-eight. At roll call at the court house at 10 o'clock every man answered present, including the five alternates. The men lined up in front of the building on Fifth street, some in new suits, others in khaki and still others in overalls. The wives, mothers, sisters, sweet hearts and children numbered fully one hundred. The court house win dows were filled with officials. Three mothers, each with a baby in her arm, stood at one of the windows. They had appeared at the court house at an early hour to attest to their de pendency on husbands before the lo cal exemption board. "Forward march," shouted the Hfiuad leader.

Others joined and finally everyone broke into cheers as the boys marched north on Van Buren street for the Union Pacific depot. One Man Missing. At the depot the roll was called again. William Jesse Davidson, R. R. f. North Topeka, did not answer. At the depot he had received permission from members of the board to go to a nearby store to get his suitcase. He never made his appearance up until the time the train left, according to th squad leader. The exemption boards called the alternates together. The situation was explained to them. "I'll go," said Kdward Karl Patter son, 50 Freeman. "I want to go, too," said William Frederick Knbs. steward at he boys' industrial school. "Well now, boys, you settle it be tween yourselves," said the clerk of the board. "We'll draw straws," said Patter son. "The man who gets the short st raw goes." Kobi agreed. The clerk reached down and picked up a short stick. He turned his back a moment. Then he t urned around with two sticks pro truding from his and. Kobs drew first. He got the long straw. Pat terson went to Fort Riley. Had Their Babies. The boys were lined up opposite a coach three blocks east of the depot. For half an hour they waited for the train to come to carry them to Fort Riley. Mothers stood with arms around their boys, husbands, drafted stood near wives, their babes in their arms, maybe for the last time. Klvin K. Joss, R. R. 1. Wakarnsa, held his baby in his arms until the train started. He leaned over, kissed his wife good-bye. handed her the baby and ran to leap on the train. Every time the mother of Charles Iynch. R. R.

Silver Lake, until the train left. Forbes stands more than six feet in height. Some of his sisters were short and he hoisted them high enough to put their arms around him when it was their turn for embracing. Signs on Coaches. While the lads were waiting a spe cial Union Pacific train with fifteen carloads of drafted men from Kansas City and Olathe and other towns pulled into the depot. Wild cheers emanated from the cars as the train pulled past the Topeka coach. The drafted men had decorated the sides of the coaches with chalk signs, ex pressing everything but appreciation of the kaiser. One lad on the train was? a near poet. He had written on one of the coaches the following: "Kaiser Rill went up the hill to take a whack at France, "Kaiser Rill came down the hill with bullets in his pants." "To Berlin or Bust," read another s!gn. "To with the Kaiser," was another. At Topeka box lunches were served to all the men. The Union Pacific supplied the lunches, the government will pay for them. The Topeka lads also received these lunches. About ten minutes before the train on which the Topeka lads left reached the station they were ordered into the tram. Some clambered in while ft hers received permission to remain with loved onfs until the train left. The lads in the train kept up a merry chatter with those standing outside.

Kansas City. Kan., Sept. 19. The "slacker" round up in Kansas, in which an army of 6,000 officials took part, is nearing an end. More than forty are now under arrest awaiting the federal grand jury next October. So thoro has been the hunt that as many as six reports of individual workers have come in on one "slacker." v The plan was devised by Fred Rob ertson, United States attorney for Kansas, who sent out letters to police, county authorities, numerous mer chant friends, and county officials, asking them to keep a close lookout for any person who failed to register. Besides locating most of the "slack-' ers," rhe result has been that hundreds of letters reporting citizens who are believed to be in sympathy with Ger many, have been received. Virtually all of these reports, however, show after a careful investigation that few are actually in sympathy with the Ger man cause. Citizens Help in Hunt. "From the way reports are coming in," Mr. Robertson said, "I am con vinced that those who refused to reg ister are very few in the state. There seems to be a concerted effort on the part of nearly all of the citizens to aid in this hunt. Some counties have been gone over with a fine tooth comb in the search for slackers." Federal authorities of Kansas have been asked to locate three men from a county in the western part of the state who failed to appear before the local exemption board for examination and who now are classed as deserters from the army. Penalty for this of fense is severe. SINK 2 U-BOATS 1 American Steamer Victorious in Battle Off Shetland Isles. Second "Suhw Attacks and Brit ish Destroyer Finishes Her. London, Sept. 19. An American armed steamer probably sank a Ger man submarine in a spirited fight southeast of the Shetlands, according to a Central News dispatch from Bergen today. The American steamer, according to the Central News dispatch, en countered a submarine engaged in sinking another merchantman at a point solnewhere off the Shetlands. The American opened fire with her guns and smashed the periscope of the U-boat. Two Torpedoes Miss. At this juncture another submarine appeared and fired two torpedoes at the American. Both missed. British destroyers, attracted by the sound of the shots and by wireless calls, re sponded, arriving in time to sink the second submarine. Six of the German crew were res cued, it was declared.

From the city and the farm, the sec ond contingent of the new national army, the Eighty-ninth division of which will train at Camp Funston. national army cantonment, today is on its way to training quarters. The men from nearby points in Kansas were expected to arrive here late to day. The men will continue to pour into Camp Funston until September 23, by which date 40 per cent of the first draft, 18,609 men in all, is due to have reported to training officers here. Preparations have been made for the arrival of the men and as soon as they reach Camp Funston they will be assigned to quarters, after they have been checked over by officers who will have lists of those due here at this time. Part of the army uniform will be issued the men and they will start light training at once. 40 Special Trains. For the first time since the mobil ization of troops for the present war began, the facilities of the railroads are expected to be taxed. The Union Pacific railroad will bring the men to Camp Funston as it is the only line reaching here. Forty special trains with an average of 10 cars each have been supplied by the railroads for the purpose. Of the 18,609 troops who will arrive here during the week be ginning this morning, 16,000 will trav el in special trains. Most of the special trains will be made up of day coaches and chair cars, altho in all instances where the trains will be on the road more than 24 hours, sleeping cars will be pro vided. "While the men are on their way to camp, they will be given care ful attention. PreDarations already "have been made to serve meals to them. Tickets have been given to each man for as many meals as he i will require. I Fourteen counties and towns In Kansas were not required to send men to Caiyp.

Exemptions are given the cities of Wichita and Topeka and Allen, Brown, Chase, Douglas, Gray, Jackson, Jefferson, -Kearney, Mont gomery, Osborne, Woodson and Wyan dotte counties. Cherokee county will furnish the largest number of men under the 40 per cent call. The following states will send men to Camp Funston at this time, in each case the number being 40 per cent of the state's total draft quota on the first call: Arizona, 1,3 90 Colorado, 1,901; Kansas, 2,576; Missouri, 7,464; Nebraska, 3,274; New Mexico, 917, and South Dakota 1,087. Begin to Train at Once. Washington, Sept. 19.- More Amer ican youths who will down kaiserism, began moving to cantonments today. Within the next five or six days, the first big draft will be encamped. In some communities this will amount only to 35 per cent of the draft, in others to as high as 45 per cent- Be tween 275,000 and 350,000 men in all J will go. I Hard intensive training will begin at once. Once absorbed into the small skeleton organizations, already at can tonments, the men will start drilling. They will be taught to march and maneuver and then later as they de velop, they will be instructed intrench digging, bombing, bayoneting and knife fighting and all the other things that must be crowded into a few months. That these men will be training until next spring is regarded certain, tho army officials refuse to set an estimate on the time. Sliy on Equipment. For the moment drafted m?n will be minus part of the paraphernalia which goes to make a soldier. Civilian clothing must be used in some cases, but this shortage and the lack of rifles is being rapidly overcome. While the shortages and discom forts may provoke criticism from f"e Quarters, the war department and the peace-time industries of the nation nave responaea noDiy to tne needs of converting 2,000,000 men into fighting forces almost over night. Millions of yards of duck, cotton wool and on were needed 'and tne peace-time output was far below the requirements. Manufacturers extended their pkints, and now this tremendous mass of supplies is nearly ready. That additional men may have to be raised before the second draft is' picked seemed likely to authorities to- day, due to the necessity of bringing existing units up to war strength.

A. 4,000 Copies Weekly Free to Each Military Camp. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Sept 19. Plans for publication of a soldiers' weekly news paper in every national army and na tional fruard camp beginning with the week of September 30, under the auspices of the national war work council of the Y. M. C. A. were an nounced here today by John Stewart Bryan, publisher of the Richmond cartoonists. President Wilson han en- dorsed the plan, the general manage-, ment of the paper will be under the personal direction of Mr. Bryan and the co-operating publishers will com pose an advisory board. The plans grew out of a conference In Washing- "n last July at which Mr. Bryan was assigned by the war work council to visit all camps in the south before go ing to Europe. Kdi tor's Plan a Success. "It seemed hardly probable at first that so large an undertaking could be carried out," said Mr. Bryan today, "and it probably would not have been but for the assistance of H. C. Adler of the Chattanooga Times, who sug gested that if the paper carried no ad vertising and was not sold there wer no reasons why local publishers would not co-operate to the fullest measure. "The plan was thereupon worked out by which the Y. M. C. A. could furnish 4,000 papers to each of the cantonments. Four of these pages to be supplied from the New York office to the co-operating publishers and the other 'our pages of camp news to be set up and all the press work done by the local newspapers.

"The next one to accept this propo sition was the Birmingham News. Without a single exception the South came in and opened the way for the rest of the country. Mr. Macljcnnan Co-operates. "When I appealed to the central west, Frank P. MacLennan of the Topeka State Journal undertook the work for Fort Riley.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917 HAS MADE LAST PEACE PROFFER SAYS THE POPE

Believes War Must Continue Two or Three Years. Sees Allies "Want No Peace Under Kaiserism. 1 CENTRAL POWERS DOOMED America's Resources Thrown Into Balance Decides War. Predict German Offer for Peace Before Winter. Washington, Sept. 19. Pope Bene dict has made his last peace proffer, according -to official cables received here today. The holy see believes the war must bo on at least two or three years more until the full effect of America's vast power has been felt and either a victory or a hopeless deadlock in the great struggle reached. The United I'ress was Informed on the Inchest authority today that the Vat ican realizes that peace or further ne rotiations at present Is impossible. President Wilson's rejection of the pope's last peace offer which rejec tion was heartily approved by the al lieshas convinced the Vatican the allies want no peace which will leave the central powers under their pres ent rulers. No peace is possible as was announced semi-of ficially re cently which Is based on mutual con cessions as siiRRested by the pope. Allies Have I'pper Hand. It is realized by the Vatican that the allies, with America's vast re sources now thrown into the balance, now have the upper hand and can wring from the central powers a peace acceptable to the democracies. Any further proffers from the pope would be foredoomed to failure even as the last was it is admitted. Official cables today state that Vat ican circles throw out the suggestion of an understanding, at least between Kngland and Italy, that no peace pro posals emanating from the Vatican shall be seriously considered and that when peace negotiations begin, the church is not to be admitted into the "pour parlors.'' These hints go so far ai to say that Italy's entrance Into the war hinged upon acceptance of these conditions. It is added that this never has been denied by the al lied powers. Has Peace Feelers Out? Germany, however, is expected to Initiate another peace move before winter. The basis of this is seen In vague outlines of terms, set afloat first in Washington three weeks ago, and now seeping: thru the Berlin censor. These appear to be "feelers" both for the benefit of the allies and the German people. They have been so confused and in so many cases launched, only to be denied by the German foreign office when "found unacceptable that fio attention s now paid them" .JOaPlrauAts-foere who are in intimate touch with the international s'tuation, say there is positive, knowledge that Germany will moveagain to end the war before 1918. ALL PLOTSTAILED Germany's Repeated Intrigue To Overthrow Russia Futile. "Sow Aims at Peace Before Slav Steam Roller Starts. London, Sept. 19. England sees In the recrudescence of German peace feelers admission of a Russian plot that failed. Germany now hopes to make peace stick before the Russian army, re-organized, rehabilitated and modernized by American aid, can get into action, making complete the cor don of the allies about her strong holds. The German peace discussion Is raging unhampered by censorship in the German press. No doubt was ex pressed here that the greater part of tnp ecutqrtaiB .ana review articles are inspired. As observers here read the signs to day, Germany now sees herself balked In Russia. She fomented mutiny in the ranks or General Brusiloff s sol diers when they began making alarm ing inroads against the Teutonic Lerti' berg line. She started what was ex tensively advertised as a tremendous land and sea offensive against Riga and Petrograd. She took advantage of General Kornlloff's revolt to press her agents in the Russian army to redoubled activity. Russia survived all these. Where Germany had hoped to frighten Rus sia into a separate peace, the Teu tonic leaders probably now see they have stung the new democracy Into .action. So Soldiers Can -Vote.

COAL OUTPUT IS LOW Decrease of 3,000,00,0 Tons a Month in isauminous jricia. Washington, Sept. 19. Reports to the geological survey on production of bituminous coal show a decrease dur ing August at the rate of more than 3,000,000 tons a month and indicate that a shortage of coal this winter, feared by many government officials, may be a reality unless production shows a. decided increase. The chief sections of the country facing suffering are New England and the west and northwest. The destitu tion in New England has been caused by the withdrawal of the coastwise traffic for transatlantic trade of some of the fleet of vessels already engaged in transporting coal from New York to New England ports.

"Boys I went thru the same thing more than fifrv years ago," he said. "The last thing my father said to me was that a good soldier never gets shot in the back." "Yes, but many a good man got shot there," replied a lad- "There's only one missing now. We'll be lucky if there's only one miss ing coming back." That from one of the boys. Many laughed.

Garver, county attorney, and all members of the exemption board were at the de pot to wish the boys luck. "It was one of the saddest sights I ever saw," said Garver. One lad decided to celebrate be fore he left. Sometime early in the morning he met John Barleycorn and they became friends. At 9:30 o'clock this morning he was wending an un certain way on Fifth street bound for the court house to report. "Where do you think you're going," shouted a policeman as the lad passed the police station. "To knock out of the kaiser," replied the lad. "I'm all fixed now so his bullets can't hit me unless they can make curves." The police took him into the sta tion and telephoned to Garver to a"S certain if the lad was one of the drafted men.

Three Different Explanations Fail To Reveal Origin. MAY FACE DEATH PENALTY Presume Money Came From Germany' Thru Berne. Committee of Colleagues Votes Unanimously for a Trial. Paris, Sept. 1 9. The procurator general of the appeals has addressed a communication to parliament asking for the-suspension of immunity in the case of Deputy Turmel. The procura tor general points out that Deputy Turmel gave three different explana tions concerning the origin of the money found in his locker and fur ther remarked that Magistrate Gil bert, charged with investigation of the case, served a subpoena on Turmel yesterday but the latter ignored the summons "under circumstances from which it is permissible to presume that Turmel's dealings in Switzerland, given by him as the source from whence he drew the, money that was found, were of a fraudulent nature un der the law prohibiting French citi zens carrying on economic relations with enemy subjects." The committee of eleven elected by the chamber of deputies to report on the demand for the authorization of legal proceedings against Deputy Tur mel met after the chamber adjourned today. The committee voted unani mously in favor of authorizing the le gal proceedings which it held to be the best course even in the interest of Turmel himself, it is expected that the committees report will be sub mitted to the chamber at the opening of the session tomorrow and little doubt is expressed but that the re quired authorization will be voted rapidly. It is understood that the judicial authorities did not at first intend to prosecute Deputy Turmel. They de sired first of all to obtain a sworn statement from him and to do this a charge was laid against "X" of trading with the enemy, in connection with which Deputy Turmel was called as a witness. He however, frustrated this proceeding by refusing to obey the summons. It was decided last night thatthe judicial authorities as a re sult of the facts obtained thru Magis trate Gilblit's investigation contem plate changing this original charge to the much graver one of treasonable dealings with, the enemy, which is punishable by death. Should the charge be changed the ase would be transferred from the civil to the military courts. Bank Denies Deputy's Story. Berne, Sept. 19. The Swiss Tele graphic agency has received a tele gram from Zurich relative to a state ment made by the French Deputy Tur mel that he received a sum of money rrom the bwiss Federal bank for ad vice. The directors of the Swiss Fed eral bank, according to the telegram, declare formally that they never made any such mysterious payments to any one and never had aiy dealings with xurmei. An official statement issued by the cnamper 01 deputies on September 17 stated that an envelope containing 25,000 francs in Swiss bank bills had been found in the part of the locker room assigned to Deputy Turmel.

It is intimated the Mare Island scale, if adopted by Jhe San Francisco ship yards, would increase the wages of employes approximately one dollar a day over the rate paid when they struck. Marines are still on guard at the Union Iron Works, but no more troops have been brought from Mare Island navy yards. No disorder of any kind has been reported for twenty-four hours. The striking unions announced today that they had adopted the mot to: "No violence." No attempt had been made by the firms affected to hire other men. Labor Department Hopeful. Washington, Sept. 19. Labor de partment officials today expressed the opinion that there is some prospect of adjustment soon "of the shipbuilding and iron, workers' strike at San Fran cisco. Their estimate was based largely. It was said, upon a telegram received from W. T. Boyce, assistant commis sioner of immigration at San Fran cisco, who is acting as conciliator. Urgent suggestion from the Ameri can Federation of Labor, however. that the entire Pacific coast should be considered a unit in determining wage scales for shipyard employes dimmed the hope of shipping board officials of settling independently the strike of iron workers at San Francisco. Conseauently the shipping board de voted more attention to solution of the-' difficulty arising out of a Seattle com pany's action in granting high union wage demands. Must Settle Seattle First. The suggestion of federal concilia tors that the San Francisco strikers go back to work temporarily on the basis of the Mare Island wage scaiej recently increased about ten per cent," was not received favorably by the of ficials of the metal trades department of the American Federation of Labor. International -officers of the federa tion expressed the opinion that the San Francisco dispute could not be settled before the Seattle situation is composed. TO PROSECUTE I. W. W.

But he lost every laurel Tues day afternoon when he let his disposi tion get the better of his judgment and deliberately tossed away the game by throwing a ball into the grandstand and allowing two Salt Packers to score. The two teams begin the last of the series in Hutchinson today and if the Kan sans win again the play off will be all over. An average run of luck should have given the Miners an even break Tues day on the series. They were holding nori n Tin 11 with hi a thumh ar,A VicH to be taken out. Maple, who succeeded him, allowed Hutchinson to score two runs and then Sanders was called upon to save the day. Sanders Had Big CTiance. Never did a local hero get the ova tion he did when entering the box Again he had a chance to be the man of the hour. But, with two men on bases, he became peeved because Um pire Daley would not discard a ball he claimed had been damaged and de liberately threw the ball into the grandstand. Both men on the bases scored and Joplin was hopelessly out of it for the day. The final score was 6 to 3 in favor of Hutchinson. As a result of his rash act Sanders was fined $100 by Owner Savage and a purse said to contain $600 which the fans had made up to present to him was withheld and will be returned to the contributors.

BE GREAT SERIES Giants and White Sox Should Stage Classic Games. West Expected To Go Wild Over Big Classic. NEED 3 MORE GAMES Then Giants Will Have National Pen nant Salted Away. New York, Sept. 19. Just three more victories for the Giants and the National league's 1917 pennant race will be over. And, by the same kind of figuring, the White Sox need only seven more contests to make it impossible for the Red Sox to head them off. The Giants today are ahead of the Phillies by twelve and a half games, with fourteen more games remaining on their schedule. The Phillies must still play fifteen. If the Phillies win fifteen straight they will wind up the season with 92 victories and sixty de feats, which would give them a per centage of .605. If the Giants win three more they would have a per centage of .610 at the end of the sea son, if they lost all their other games. The White Sox are out in front by eight full games, with eleven contests left. The Red Sox have seventeen to play before it's a season's work. If the Chicagoans win seven more the lowest possible percentage they could finish with would be .662. The Red Sox, by winning seventeen in a row could finish with a mark of .655. HERZOG NOT A QUITTER He Will Join the Giarfta as Soon as He fc Is Able. ,Vr New York, Sept. 19. In New Yoric to consult his physician, Charles Herzog, second baseman and captain of the Giants, declared he had been made the victim of misrepresenta tion since his suspension for refusing to play. Herzog said he had not deserted the team without informing Manager Mc Graw. He declared he would rejoin the team just as soon as his health would permit. NATIONAL LEAGUE. R. H. E.

BY JACK VKIOCK. New York, Sept. 19. With the Gi ants and White Sox contending, the coming world's series should be the greatest in the history of the game. Fandom has tired of watching two Eastern "teams battle in the annual blue ribbon event. Since 1910, when the Cubs and Atheletics met, the big October baseball dish has been served up by teams on the sunrise side of the Allegheny range, and after six long years of waiting the West has come into its own once again. The inter-sectional nature of the coming series will be the biggest fac tor in awakening interest. West Will Go Wild. The East will feel a greater interest because of it, while the West will be swept by a great wave of excitement. For the first time in baseball history teams representing the two greatest cities in the country will be the con tenders, a fact which will add to the attractiveness of the series this Fall. New York has its millions to draw from, while Chicago, with more than 2,000,000 people within its corporate linhits, will draw from all parts of the great West, and even the East. At tendance figures will undoubtedly be large, but the breaking of any exist ing records in attendance is doubtful, for the Polo Grounds and Comiskey Park will hardly be able to accom modate the great number of specta tors who saw the series of 1912 be tween the Giants and Red Sox, when 251,901 persons paid to see the games, unless the teams play at least seven games. Accommodate Big Crowds. The Polo Grounds can accommo date in the neighborhood of 38,000 fans if they are crammed in like sar dines, while Comiskey Park can take care of more than 30,000 bugs with every available inch of space in use. In 1912, when the present record was made, the Giants and Red Sox played eight games, one resulting in a tie. For this reason the tremendously high attendance mark is liable to stand. But records notwithstanding, the series this Fall is bound to class by itself from a standpoint of popular interest, for in addition to its inter sectional nature it promises to be one of the hardest-fought world's series ever played.

The number of apple pickers want ed in Kansas is estimated now between two and three hundred during the next two months. E. E. Jaggy of Hutchinson, one of the largest apple growers in Kansas, is offering 15 cents an hour for common unskilled labor and furnishes them board. O. F. Whitney, secretary of hor ticulture, has just returned from an inspection trip over the state and is confident of two million bushels of apples for Kansas of which one and one-half million will enter the com mercial field. But Mr. Whitney also reports that orchardists of the Ar kansas valley have appealed to the public for labor. Good wages and steady employment thru the season probably until the first of November will be offered in this locality. The northeast Kansas apple district catch es the pickers from outside the state and few of them get into the other orchard section. MEETING HERE OCT. 16 Annual Sessions State Society.

There Is pending in the conference jcommittee of the" two houses of con gress dealing with the revenue bill a proposal to levy a tax of four per cent on incomes in excess of $2,000. accru ing to married men. It probably will be apparent to all fair minded persons that there thould be a distinction be tween incomes derived from payment f'r labor or services performed and those derived from investments. It does not seem fair that a man having a family and earning .2,500 a year aiuMild pay in taxes $20 of the amount, while a man receiving $2,500 a year in returns on investments should pay no more. Prices of everything that enters into the daily living are such that a family of four or five persons can ill afford to pay so heavy a tax in addition 'to various other forms of taxs. If the government must have the money it might well add a little mure to the excess profits tax or to the tax on incomes arising from invest ments. If Japan should become active In the war against Germany, the fit question the world would ask is: What is the price promised her?

Then again, Maine may have voted that way thru fear that the women If given the franchise, would repeal the prohibitory law, or possibly make it effective. "The citrus industry in California has virtually been organized upon a manufacturing basis. For advertising in newspapers and other periodicals each box of oranges is assessed 2 cents and every box of lemons 4 cents. Last year this netted a fund of nearly half a million dollars for publicity work. The growers look to advertis ing to Increase the consumption of oranges ant lemons and thereby make room for the rapidly increasing crops. During the ten years in which adver tising has been done, the consumption of citrus fruits has Increased 80 per cent, or four Mines as rapidly as popu lation.

There is a sugar company in Colo rado known as the Great Western that early this month declared a special oividend of 10 per cent on its common stock. That was the third special dividend declared this year, in addi tion to regular quarterly dividends of 1 per cent. The holders of the.com tr.on stock of the Great Western Sugar company thus far this year have received 30 per cent on the par value of their stoc":, and there is probability they will receive another 10 per cent extra dividend before the end of the year. Appro Imately 60 per cent this single year represents their profit. In the da., s before the war, says-the Los Angeles Express, there was no Indus try more insistent than sugar for pro tection.

IXJOK FOHWAUD. What will be the effect upon Amer ican- trade, American production and American finance of a termination of the war? The readjustments of peace will be extensive and radical, but they are not likely to include a return to former conditions. There will necessarily Ufi a cessa tion of war profits and a dismantling and reconstruction of munitions and arms factories. Steel mills will re ceive no more orders for war sup plies, but they will have abundant orders for materials for shipbuilding, for railroads and for architectural iron work for buildings, both in Eu rope and America. War losses In Europe have stripped the nations of autos, typewriters, agri cultural implements, and machinery generally. There will be an immense demand for textile fabrics which will be made from our cotton and wool with Amer ican spindles and looms. The war demand in Europe for cop per and lead will be supplemented by a peace demand that will keep our mines busy and our farmers will be sure of an active demand and high prices for all the food they can pro duce. The only fly in the ointment, says the Los Angeles Times, will be the inability of Europe to pay for the product of American farms, mines, factories and furnaces. The war ex penditures of Europe have been since 1914 ninety billions of dollars, a sum equivalent to one-third of their en tire wealth. v Millions of persons have been slain and millions of men have been crippled.- It will take years be fore the growth of the rising genera tion will supply sufficient labor in Eu rope to do the work of Europe, and the scarcity of labor will mean high wages. Peace will not bring to Europe quick recovery from the devastations of war, but it will make the United States the foremost nation In all the world in industries, in commerce and lii finance, and the indebtedness we have Incurred in war preparation and in financially assisting the allies will rest upon us lightly. We have made enormous profits from our foreign trade. The losses of Europe have not sensibly affected us, and New Tork has taken the place of London as the center of the exchanges of the world. We have obtained a foothold in foreign markets that we shall retain, and our shipbuilding, now rapidly proceeding, will restore us to our position as next to the first if not the very first maritime power in the world. PRICES DO NOT FALL. Tlagoyernment is np-w engaged in an effort to undo' the mischief wrought by some of its agents in the earlier part of the year. It Is trying to bring down the prices of necessities, but with little show of success, up to this time. The cry of scarcity of food products and imminent famine sent forth from Washington last spring drove prices to an unprecedented level and they are showing no marked ten dency to come down. The world was in no danger of a famine even if our last crop was light and the winter had been exceptionally hard on grain. Apparently every effort was made, officially and unofficially, to convince the country that famine was impending, and therefore to drive the price of grain higher. Then the high prices created alarm, a:id means of checking them had to be devised. But it was known as well last spring as it Is now that India, Argentina and Australia are usually large exporters of wheat; the Impression, carefully cultivated, that all the deficiencies of Europe had to be made good by the United States and Canada, waa untrue and calculated to force prices abnor mally high. In the first fall of the war the In terested dealers, and some persons not Interested but also not informed, did the same thing. The Russian exports were cut off and of course the de mands upon this country were much heavier than usual. All over the country-there cropped up predictions that if the export of wheat should continue at the then rate our wheat would be exhausted before spring. But the fact that our export of wheat was not like ly to continue at that rate, because in January Argentine and Australian wheat would come -on the market and in April Indian wheat would follow. was Ignored, it not suppressed. In due time these southern countries began shipping wheat and the exports from this country declined. Our supplies were not exhausted, and the famine prices predicted were not reached. Of course, the object of government control is not simply to control con sumption, says the New York Journal of Commerce, it is designed also to protect the consumer from high prices. But we have already learned, as they learned In Germany and England some time ago. that if there is a scarcity prices will be high, whether the government intervenes or not. The effect of government intervention, then. Is to prevent prices from going as high as they might go without it. But on this subject there is much ex aggeration of the effect of speculative prices on the prices paid by the con sumer. A bull movement that drives the price of wheat up to $3 or $3.50 for an hour of" even a week is not'eer tain to affect the price of bread. The millers do not stock up at the highest point reached by a corner. In such a commodity competition will cure an abnormal price very soon. WAR AND HEALTH TBK TOPEKA STATE .JOl'RNAL INFORMATION BIKEAC By rrederle J. Hln. Iilreetar. HapUaftua, D. C. I. Are We Fit to Fig"? Washington. IX C. -Sept. 18. This is certainly one question raised by the war. Physical examinations have shown a large proportion of unfit among the nation's young m;n. The appointment of a committee of neur ologists to care for the soldiers' nerves is tacit admission of the fact, well known to the medical profession, that we are a nation of neurotics. Congress has taken note of the na tion's health, too. Mr. Claypool of Ohio, has introduced a bill providing for a national board of physical cul ture, which is to co-operate with the states in establishing a national sys tem of physical training in schools for the purpose of raising men physi cally fit for the army. Mr. Tilson of Connecticut, has made and widely distributed a speech on Walter Camp's "Senior Service Corps," which enjoys the patronage of ex-President Taft and other prominent men, and has for its object the physical training of men past middle life. These two schemes, should hey both be generally adopted, together with universal military train ing for young men, would provide for the physical training of the Ameri can from grammar school to old age. He needs it that is not hard to prove, either by statistics or observa tion. The most impressive statistical proof is the growth of degenerative diseases, such as cancer, brlght's dis ease, heart disease, and other organic ailments which spring from lack of exercise and too much eating. Fifty years ago America was a relatively un sanitary place, and death rates from germ disease, such 6.3 typhoid and malaria, were more numerous. But we were poorer then, we didn't have any automobiles, so we worked hard and walked. That lean and fit-looking old gentleman known to the world as Uncle "Sam was a pretty fair por trait of us we loowed then. A really representative Uncle Sam today would have a forty-nine inch waist line and no whiskers, but a double chin. The Overfed and the Vnderfed. Of course out on the farms and in the west generally the physdeal aver age is better. But nearly half of us live in cities now, and most of us are getting either too much of the world's good things or not enough. Between the overfed and the underfed, there is just a narrow stratum of the rightly fed and adequately exercised who can still run down a street car or move a piano- without permanent injury or undue perspiration. Mr. Claypool's bill is a plan for cut ting off this physical degeneration at the start by inculcating habits of ex ercise in early youth. It seems to be a wise and comprehensive measure. There is to be a federal board for instruction in physical culture, and an annual appropriation, which will be distributed among state boards for use in establishing courses In physical cul ture. Each state is to put up as much as it receives from the federal government. This federal board is further to make investigations and hold tests for determining the very best exercises. Prizes will be given to experts who demonstrate by actual tests upon se lected subjects the value of their methods. In this way, a national sys tem 4 physical eulture is to- e built up, based upon the most scientific methods, and upon a combination of state control and federal supervision. Mr. Camp's senior service corps is a blow at the evil of physical degen eracy in its most pernicious develop ment. The worst of this spread of de generative disease is that it takes men off between the ages of 45 and 65, when they should have reached the stage of greatest usefulness to themselves, their families and the state. Nearly all of our business exec utives are between these ages, and the country can ill spare them" just now. A Senior Service Corps of One. Mr. Camp's corps consists of just a hundred men in New Haven, Conn., who want to keep themselves fit in order to meet the emergency of war. Other senior service corps will doubt less be established; but any man who cannot belong to such an organization may well constitute himself a senior service corps of one by following the principles laid down by Mr. Camp. Moderation, not only in eating and drinking, but in exercise, and work, he believes to be the secret of fitness after 45. Walking and golf are the exercises he recommends. Tennis, he believes, is too strenuous after 30, and he does not believe that hard mili tary hikes are good for men of mid dle age. At least four miles of walk ing a day are a necessity, and they should be taken with the head up and accompanied by deep breathing. "Many a man finds too late that his motor car has cost him more in health and legs than it has in tires and gaso line." -urink witbotrt eating and eat without drinking." is another motto offered the middle aired athlete. Five glasses of water a day between meals are the. amount recommended. Mod erate eating is a necessity. Alcohol if used at all must be used very spar ingly, and the cocktail is especially interdicted. With regard to smoking, Mr. Camp suggests that if you leave it alone until after lunch, you will never have j tobacco heart. A bath every morning, which should be cold if you can stand it; hot if you cannot, is a necessity to good health, but perspii-ation is just as necessary as water to a clean skin. A Bud Liver and Lack of Exercise. Mr. Camp's .list of suggestions for his corps shows an insight into the psychology of bd health as well as the physiology. He perceives that doubt and worry at once spring from and cause disease. Vacillation and doubt he characterizes as poisons for the nerves- Envy, jealousy and wrath are worse for the digestion than any foods you can eat. A bad liver and lack of exercise cause nine-tenths of the blues. The work of the senior service corps is a course of exercises lasting ninety days, which is designed to bring the individual easily and without strain or fatigue to a condition of physical fitness. It consists of fifteen minutes daily of gymnastic exercises, and forty minutes daily of outdoor work. Mr. Camp's corps consists of one hundred men of all ages from forty-five to seventy-three, and of all physical types and sizes. Without exception they have been made fit. and all of them have adopted the regime of ex ercises as a permanent part of their lives. Secretary of War Baker has en dorsed the plan, and it Is being given widespread publicity with the object of encouraging the formation of senior service corps thruout the country. A letter addressed to the senior service corps, New Haven, Con-, will bring a letter giving the details of organiz ation. The matter is, of course, absc ultely -non-commercial. The chief es sentials are a surgeon, a leader to di rect the work, and a body of men past military age who are willing to devote an hour a day three times a week to the task of keeping them selves physically fit.

The prairie schooner which carried so many American pioneers westward has come back on rubber tires with a gasoline engine in place of the mules. Many auto trucks and other cars have have been fitted with long canvas hoods and used for long overland journeys just as the old time prairie schooner was. These modern camp wagons, however, in addition to their speed and "easy riding qualities have the advantages of spring beds and electric lights. It is typical of the change that has come over the coun try that the modern prairie schooner is as luxurious as the old was rough. From the Atchison Globe.

I GLOBE SHGiSTS j The Plot' Against Agathy. (By Andrew Phelps.) Grandma Nelson and her married daughter, Mrs. Wharton, sat on the veranda in close and confidential chat. anr Agathy Whatron, I9-years-old and the daughter of Mrs. Wharton, was swinging in the hammock under an apple tree. "I want to ask you, queried grand ma, "what's the matter with Agathy? Here she is. 19 years old and a good looking girl, and I cant understand why she hasn't had an offer of mar riage yet? Doesn't she like men, as a rule?" "Agathy is a very hard girl In some respects."-the mother replied. "She takes likes and dislikes at almost the lirst glance. There are plenty of young men around here who would he glad to call at the house, but she dis likes most of them. I sometimes have to laugh about it. She doesn't like one for wearing a mustache, and another for not wearing one. In one case, the young man's eyebrows are too high, and in another she doesn't think his nose is set on right. These are whims, of course, and I hope that she will get over them by and by; but I see no signs of it yet." "Daughter, you know it s all ar ranged for Agathy to go down to Puba with me. I wanted to talk with you about the question to love. Suppose she should meet on the steamer a young man who filled her ideal a young man whom I could recommend in every way. Would you oppose it if she fell in love?" jj o," was the slow reply. But I should want you to be sure that he was all right. 'Then I will teH you something which I have kept back. I have a distant relative whose name is Charles Burton. In fact, he has made my home his home for the last year, while getting ready to graduate as a civil engineer. He is a model young man in every respect, and about twenty-two years of age. I like him so well that I am going to leave him something in my will. You know I am going to leave Agathy something, and if they should fall in love and be married, they 4would have quite a fortune to start life on." "That would be nice, but how will they meet?" "Why, he's going over with me. Tou know I am going on business, and shall not stay long. I don't want Agathy to know anything about him until we have sailed; and then I will introduce them, and give him a good character. I know enough about Aga thy to know that she would hate him if she thought we had put up a pioi. What do you think of it, daughter?" You will have to take sour chances, mother. I think she has ideals about men. altho she won't ad mit it. If Mr. Burton is the ideal she has been waiting for, it will be all right; if he ia not, she won't give him ten minutes of her attention, no mat ter what you say in his favor. Does he know he is going to meet her?" "I have thrown out hints to that effect." "Well, you can throw out some more hints that he can be prepared for humiliation, and thus not be too much disappointed." When the day of sailing came Grandma, Nelson and Agathy Wharton- were almost1, the first persons to go on board. Grandma cast an eye around and she discovered that Mr. Burton was also an early bird. He did not come up and address her be cause she managed to give him a sign In the negative. Miss Agathy let nothing escape her eye, and soon de tected the young man, but her eyes rested upon him for only a few sec onds. It was the second day out, and no introduction had taken place yet. when Grandma Nelson got ready to spring her trap. She was going to have the introduction come about in a very logical and natural way and with a little- romance mixed in. While Miss Agathy was seated on her steam er chair on deck with the Atlantic ocean rolling over and over around her, the crafty old fox took from her steamer trunk a watch she had pro vided for the occasion. It did not take her quite half an hour to wind it up and see that it started off in good fashion. Then she made several experiments as to how far away the ticking could be heard. When satis tied about this she went on deck and hunted up Miss Agathy. It gave her quite, a shock to find her talking rath er familiarly with a good-looking young man whose ase was about twenty-two. He was both good-looking and entertaining, and He was evi dently pleased with the girl beside him. Only three chairs away sat Mr. Bur ton. He was looking very solemn. He ought to have been in the place of the other young man,x but he wasn't, and the situation made him sad. He was wishing he knew not what, when Grandma Nelson appeared and gave the girl a sign to follow her. -When they had reached the cabin, she held up her finger and whispered: "Keep cool. Agathy! We are In very great danger, but keep cool!" "Well. I am cool," was the cool re ply. "Are we going to be blown up by a submarine?" "As bad as that, Agathy. Some one has placed a clockwork bomb In my trunk and. at a set moment, it will blow up and sink the ship and all of us with it. How anyone got in here to place the bomb is beyond me, but you can yhear the ticking of the clock. What shall we do?" "Why, that trunk must go over board without delay," calmly replied the girl.- But we dare not touch it! You go on deck again and go to the third chair from where you are sitting and speak to the young man in it. Tell him to come down here at once, as there is work here for a brave man. I was looking at him the other day and he is the stuff of which heroes are made." Agathy turned without a word and ascended to the deck. Then she walked straight to the young men whom she had been sitting beside when called, and said to him: "There is a clockwork bomb in grandma's steamer trunk, and it may explode in a minute. She wants the trunk thrown overboard to avert a great disaster."- "Certainly, certainly," was the re ply, and he followed her to the state room. Grandma opened her mouth to pro test that it was the wrong hero. but. before she could utter a word, the trunk was picked up and carried on deck, and a heave overboard sent it floating away on the green billows. There had been-amazement among the passengers to see a new steamer trunk go overboard, but no explana tions were made at the time. That is, no explanations were made until Miss Agathy again stood in the presence of L. Grandma Nelson, who could hardly speak for her sobs, but who managed to exclaim: "And that trunk contained all my j wardrobe and what I am to do with- out it, heaven only knows. Why didn't you bring the young man 1 told you to!" "Why. that young man with red hair and a cast in one eye!" almost shouted Agathy, with hands uplifted in horror. The red-haired young man gradu ated and went off to South America; the other young man stayed at home and married Miss Agathy Wharton, and Grandma Nelson does not exactly understand how It all came' about. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)" The Chicken's Way. Once there was a little boy who thought he would like to keep chick ens. "Don't you know keeping chickens is a lot of work?" asked his mother when he told her about it. "Oh, I don't mind work," he boast ed. "All the other boys are keeping chickens and I want some of my own." "All right," answered his mother, "you may have them, but you must keep care of them yourself feed them and keep their house in order." The little boy agreed that he would, so the chickens were bought and a house was fixed for them out ia the back yard. Now, at first it was a lot of fun to tidy up the chicken house sprinkle fresh gravel on the floor and watch the chickens scramble after gram. But after a while it got to be an awful bore; those chickens were al ways hungry and always thirsty and always untidy and the little boy; got so tired of his work. He thought carefully a while, then he said, "I know what I'll do. I'll pretend I haven't any chickens and see what happens then." He thought that was a very bright idea. So the next morning when he got up he carefully pretended he had no chickens and he went off to school without giving them water or food, or even a look. Did the chickens like that very well? Dear me! Would you like It if somebody pretended you didn't want anything to eat or drink? I guess not. They waited 'patiently a while long er, but still no breakfast appeared. "I'm tired of waiting here so long for a breakfast that never comes," and one chicken crossly. "So am I," said another "Let's see if we can't get out and find some food ourselves. The sun is shining and I don't believe it's very cold." They looked carefully all around their house and finally found a place where the boards didn t quite touch the ground. "Let's all get busy and dig' right here," said one. "All right," they all peeped, and went to work. And-how the dirt did fly. The hole was big enough for' the chickens to wiggle thru. It was no time at all. till the hole was big enough for the chickens to wiggle thru, one at a time. Once safely out they drew a big breath and started to hunt for food. Over the yard they scratched, over one yard, two yards, many yards, till they were far, far from home. NYw, alKmorning at school the lit tle boy had been thinking of his poor hungry chickens. And the minute school was out he ran home, ran around to the chicken house and opened the door wide. Not a chicken was there. Now, how do you suppose that little boy felt? TBIAVELETTE BT MKSAII Mesa Verde. Mf sa Verde in Colorado' has been put under the protection of the fed eral government to prevent irreverent Americans from chopping pre-historic rafters for firewood and trampling down the ruined dwellings of a van ished people in search of pottery that is whole enough to sell. Mesa Verde has been called the most interesting spot historically in North America. It is the sole remaining trace of a race that once lived in the .southwest and dominated it in days before the In dians came. The Mesa Verde, or Green Mesa, towers up 2,000 feet out of a plain that is 6,000 teet above the sea. In the dry, clear mountain air it is vis ible for miles around. From its sum mit, a noble view of a tumbled moun tain world is visible. To the outh ward you can look out of Colorado into New Mexico, and on days that are clearer than the ordinary, you can see the ghost of a ship in full sail speeding over the desert. That is the widely known Shiprock, a curious butte carved by windblown sand into the model of a towering ship, an an cient landmark for Indians and plainsmen. The ruins at Mesa Verde show that the lost rare waa one of considerable culture. They understood agricul ture; they wove cloth; they made a pottery that has resisted the slow cen turies; they had a rude art of their own. Who they were and what they were are still problems to vex the an tiquarian. Indians of a sort, most probably, hut Indians of a different sort from those who came later and held the country till the white men took It over. And whether the later Indians conquered the earlier, or whether they filled a land that the decadence of a greater race left emrtty are other questions yet unsolved. The neople of Mesa Verde have left us their temples, their housa. their broken pots, but of their history, their hopes and their aims no trace. PefimeTale BUSINESS OF LIVING j BT MRS. EVA LICMSD j Jack Starts a "Godfntlier "Club" at School. "Mother, I want to be a godfather to one of those French soldiers. I want to send money to that address Aunt Patty gave, and give one of those poor fellows a six days' rest." Jack leaned on the library table, chin in hand. tt "Good for you. Jack; so do I. chimed in Douglas. "That is a very easy way to help win the war and a pleasant way as well." "You were worrying the other day because you had no way of doing something to make you feel that you were really a part of this great struggle to win the world for peace and liberty. Now is your chance." Eleanor smiled at her little son. "I want J:o write about it and send the monejf my next pay day," con tinued Jack. He was always bring ing in something about his pay day. and it did Eleanor's heart good to see -the pride the little fellow took in his earning capacity. She wanted to encourage it for, "while money is not the chief good of life, it ia good to have, she retieciea. sne pleased that he had mjde good withieral's and judge advocate generul'a had been given Saturday work at the factory to keep his hand in for next summer," as Mr. Barney had ex pressed it. "I wonder if I could not interest more of the boys in this scheme. Some of them earn their own money and others have 'a regular pocket money allowance. I should think they would be willing to do it." Jack paused, his chin still on his hand. "Perhaps your teacher would like to read the letter Aunt Patty wrote telling about her godsons to the chil dren. That would be a good way to Interest them. When people are once interested things are easy," suggested Eleanor. "Good! I am so glad you thought of that. I will take the letter to school tomorrow. The teacher is very much interested in the war and tells us many things about it to make us understand it." Jack got up from his chair and putting on his cap, said: "I am going over to Paul Jordon'a. He is a Boy Scout, too, and if I can get him -interested I am sure we can make the thing go in the Scouts' meeting." He banged the front door and was gone. So energetic were his efforts ami so ably were they seconded by his mother that a club was formed in the school christened the "Godfather Club." Any child who subscribed $2.64 was by that act a member and the club had the satisfaction of know ing that twenty French soldiers were given the chance of the six days' rest in Paris because of their activities. Kvery time Aunt Patty went in to p. .h. .t iq v: V- j to find out who happened to be the f.SLf,l. ?the,rJCLUb particular time, and told the men the story of how her little nephew had formed the club that sent them to Paris to enjoy their leave of absence. Then she wrote to Jack about the soldiers and what they looked like and what they said. Jack, full of the importance of his position, carried the letters to the club and usually the club asked to have them read in school, and the result was a new members for the deservedly popular Godfather club "Of coiwse giru are wanted, too, even if it is called God father." Jack explained. "There is nothing so good to make children patriotic as to give them something to do to serve their coun try; something that they are really interested in, and of course if they think of the thing themselves so much the better,,, remarked Eleanor as she and her husband talked the thing over. "And now is a good time to make the children see that everyone must do something to help along if we are to win this war," replied Douglas. (To be continued.) SKDE TALI BT BCTH CAMERON. That Exaicratitig Person. We were speaking of conversation al awkwardness the other night, ap ropos of the plan (which I confided to you) of a course in social conver sation. Someone spoke of the monologist who never gives you a chance, and then someone else quoted Margaret Osscli's characterization of Carlisle. "He does not converse, only har angues." The kind of person I mind the most is the one who asks a question and then doesn't give you a chance to answer it. That .3 an exasperating type of per son, isn't it? We've all met her. 1 think, it is us ally a woman. Of course, there are different spe cies of the type. There is the sprightly, intensely in terested in everything, flutterminded woman, who asks you a question and then, before you have a chance to an swer it, she asks you another. I was in a gathering with a woman of this type the other night. We were discussing the presidential elec tion. She asked a man who has a reputation for knowing a good fteal about political conditions, what the Democratic party in the South stood for. His eye lit up, he leaned for ward, here was a subject to his liking. "That is a big question," he said, and was about to go on, at length when she broke: in "Isn't it? There is so much to pol itics and so many things X want to know about. There's the tariff and free trade. I'm dying to have some one explain all about that. Which do you believe in?" The look on that man's face was a study. He gave a vatue answer and fell into a kind of flabbergasted si lence. Then there is 'the type who ask formal questions for politeness' sake and either break in on your answer or show by their preoccupied air and vacant eye that they are not listening to you. And then there is the type who are so full of their own affairs that they ask you a question about yours and before you can answer tell you about theirs. For instance, "How is your little girl? Ettd you know mine had had the measles? Tea and then fo4- lows a long description of the measles, and a complete forgetfulness of her interest in your little girl who may have had the scarlet fever for all she knows. To be asked a question and not given a chance to answer it gives one an uncomfortable feeling. If one isn't going to wait for an answer, better not ask a question. PEACE.

Piers of sev eral of the principal transatlantic steamship lines in New York harbor are affected today by a strike of long shoremen who charge that the Inter national Mercantile marine insisted on reinstating a foreman against the pro tests of the union. About 3.500 men are said to be out and the union lead ers declare that 48,000 will be ordered to quit work unless the foreman is dismissed.

Southwestern Bell Telephone Company WAR VS.JM00LS Should Guard Against Slump in Higher Education. Those Technically Trained M ill Rebuild World After War. BY DR. PHILANDER P. CIAXTOX. (United States Commissioner of Edu cation. Washington, Sept. 19. army of more than twenty million boys anjl girls enters the schools and colleges of the United States this month. Registration should be more than last year. There is a danger, however, that there may be a lowering both of the efficiency of the schools and in the attendance, the latter especially in the high schools and colleges. This should be prevented as far as possible Very little can be added to the country's preparedness by depriving our youth of the opportunity of education. Because of the partial disorganiza tion of society and the general-excitement accompanying our entrance into the war, thre is danger of a large increase in juvenile delinquency and crime. Against this there is no surer guarantee than prompt and regular attendance at school. Make Best Use of Democracy. Our soldiers will soon be fighting in the trenches and we shall be spend ing billions 'for the preservation of democracy, but this largely will be in vain unless the boys and girls in the schools are prepared to make fullest and best use of democracy and are taught to preserve it untarnished. When the war is over, our nation will find itself the leading country of the world to a larger extent than ever before. This will make necessary for the preservation of our democracy a higher standard of education and vir tue on the part of the masses of the people. The schools must prepare for this. When peace has returned, the world must be rebuilt in a large measure under the direction of the professional and technical men and women of America. Training for this must be given by our colleges, universities and scientific schools. Let Children Over 14 Work! It may, prove wise in many places to adjust the school terms to needs of harvesting and planting crops. To match that in industrial centers, ef forts should be made to permit boys and girls of 14 years of age and over to work part time. This can be done best by working and attending school in alternate weeks. t There will be special need to see that the new child labor law is ade quately enforced. The thousands of children taken from the mines, mills and factories must go to school. ALL IN A TURMOIL Martial Law May Soon Be Declared Tliruout Argentine Republic. Buenos Aires,Sept. 19. A declara tion of martial law thruout Argentina is imminent. The railroad striks is assuming alarming proportions. In an inter view benor Cabrett, manager of the Central Cordova line, said: i "The situation is extremely grave. Destructive spirit is rampant. Wages were never lower, and desperation is pervading the country at a time when the mobilization of the wheat crop presents a problem of world-wide im portance because of the general short age'of food in all countries." In official quarters relations with Germany were charaterized as nor-; mal. The Uruguayan congress has passed unanimously a motion expressing Uruguay's absolute solidarity with Argentine's decisions. UP ON HOUSEKEEPING General Wood Enforces Strict Tidi ness in Person and Surroundings.. Camp Funston, Kan., Sept. 19. Cleanliness and neatness are two of the watchwords at Camp Funston, na tional army cantonment, and the young men now being trained for the new national army are being given a course in these two essentials of the modern soldier. Major General Leonard Wood, in command of the cantonment, is a "stickler" when it comes to cleanli ness and neatness .and he is seeing that the men of the Eighty-ninth di vision are receiving proper training along these lines.' The men must 'keep their hair trimmed short .and they must shave at least twice a week and bathe an equal number of times. Use of the toothbrush is required at least once a day, while the bedding must be given a sun-bath at least once a week. ADOPT SUIC1DETHE0BY Relatives Help Clear Up Chicago Va cant Flat Mystery.

Her wrists had been slashed with, a razor and she had been dead about ten days. The police today apparently had abandoned the murder theory which they evolved shortly after the discov ery of the body. Relatives said Miss Parker had been despondent since the death of her father, A. F. Parker, a saloonkeeper, last February. After her father's death.

Adv. 3 CANADIAN HEROES Marvelous Feats of Valor by Nervy Dominion Boys. One "Son-Corn" Kills 16 Ger mansand Keeps on Fighting. I Canadian Headquarters, France, Sept. 19. Awards still being made for heroic conduct indicate that Canadian courage never reached a higher point than in the battle of Lena. Repeated cases are found in the records in which Canadians per formed feats of valor, in order that their comrades might be saved. A non-commissioned officer of- a British Columbia battalion led a sec tion which had the difficult task of "mopping up" cellars, craters and ma chine gun emplacements. In one cellar he bayoneted three Germans and at tacked single handed, seven others in a crater, killing all of them. On reaching his objective a machine gun was found holding ujjl his right flank, causing many casualties. The officer rushed forward, entered the emplacement, killed ithe crew and brought the gun back to our lines. Today he attacked single handed, an other machine gun emplacement, kill ed three of the crew and destroyed the gun and emplacement with a high ex plosive charge. He killed at least six teen Germans and "carried on" until wounded. Saves Many Comrades. Another hero one of a Saskatch ewan battalion, when his bonioing party was compelled by a superior force to retire, having their supply of bombs exhausted, covered the with drawal of his comrades by mounting the parapet of a trench and bringing such rapid and accurate rifle fire to bear on the Germans that they were held back until the withdrawal was completed. Anotner British Columbia man after three unsuccessful attacks had been made against heavily wired machine gun emplacements and a strong point, organized a fourth attack. The wire wire was penetrated by him personal ly. He bayonetted three of the de fenders and killed a fourth with the butt of his rifle. Jhe machine gun was silenced and position captured. But for his daring, the official record says, otir attack would' not have suc ceeded. Sergeant Flavelle, of Mani toba, when his platoon was held up in the enemy wire by a machine run, rushed forward alone, shot the gunner and disposed of the rest of the crew before the gun could again be put into action. Stretcher Bearer a Hero. Private Henry Carl Hansen, of Man itoba, a stretcher bearer, several times in daylight made trips into No Man's Land, carrying water to the wounded who could not be brought in until darkness, and no doubt saved the lives of many. TAKE MARRIED MEN Families Io Not Bar Them From Vol unteer Army Service Now. Married men are acceptable for mil itary service, according to orders re ceived this morning at the local army recruiting station at 425 Kansas ave nue, provided that their wives are not dependent upon them for support. The order came directly from the secretary of war and informed the local recruiting officers that marriage was not necessarily a hindrance to military service. Whenever an order is received from the war department stating that there are openings in a certain branch of service, married men may be accepted. Following are the views of com manders of different branches of the army in regard to volunteer service of married men, enclosed in the order: From the office of the quarter master general: '"There is no objec tion to the enlistment in the quarter master corps of married men whose wives or families are not dependent upon them for support." From the office of the chief of en gineers: T can see no objection to the enlistment in any grade whatever of married men whose wives or fami lies are not dependent upon them for support." From the office of the chief signal officer: "Married men are desired for enlistment in the signal corps (in cluding the aviation section), only wHen they possess qualifications of special value to the corps, and can submit proper evidence of non depen dence of all members of their fami lies together with waivers of depend ency signed by their wives." From the office of the chief of ord nance: "It is. believed that for work in the ordnance department, there is no reason for not enlisting married men whose wives and families are not dependent upon them for support." From the office of the surgeon gen eral: "There is no objection to the enlistment of married men in the en listed force of the medical depart ment, whose wives or families are not dependent upon them for support, provided no special consideration is claimed on account of their conjugal condition." Enlistments in white cavalry units may now be accepted, according to the order, also engineers, for practi cally any men experienced in any one occupation. Bakers and cooks are still needed in the regular army as well as in the national army, and also enlistments of men wishing to learn the bakers -trade.

That is the answer of President Townley and officials of the Non partisan league to the charges that they are co-operating with I. W. W.p pro-Germans and other interests op posed to the war. Every speaker on the program announced his loyalty at the first day's session. Pacifists were nettled that Mayor Van Lear of Minne apolis, Socialist, -was omitted from the program. "The statement that the Non partisan league is connected with, co operating with, or associated with the Industrial Workers of the World has no foundation in fact." President Townley declared today. "We will patriotically abide by the price fixed for wheat. We are presenting our earnest, patriotic and unselfish re quest to the food 'administration that manufacturers and producers of other commodities come under the same rule as the farmers." Congressman Baer and other speak ers declared farmers were willing to nave grain prices regulated but in sisted on price fixing for other com modities.

"Companies had been increased from seventy-two to two hundred men a few days before leaving, Douglas, Ariz., and while they all had uniforms few of them had ever seen a gun be fore and some didn't know their names or didn't have any. We were hustled on board a ship that wasn't yet fitted up and nobody was allowed to leave the ship except the officers, for fear someone would tell the Ger mans we were coming, altho the la borers who loaded the ships were North German Lloyd employes and only German was spoken at the docks.

"Just before leaving I visited the front line trenches and saw how civ ilized warfare is conducted. There wasn't much doing on that particular front, but I learned to flatten out when the big ones came screaming along. From my talks with" French offi cers I gather that they were about all in before we declared war and were ready to declare a German peace. Now they have hopes of getting the enemy out of France and getting back Alsace and Lorraine. It has been a terrible drain on their resources es pecially in the way of men. All men up to include those of forty-seven years have been mobilized, even the conscientious objectors if they had any, and those who could do anything at all were included.

Game Laws of the State Are in a Big Muddle. Attorney General Will Make Special Ruling Soon. More than 25,000 Kansas sportsmen are interested in an opinion to be made by the attorney general's office concerning the status of the -1917 game laws. Under the bill as signed by Governor Capper and published in the session laws, quail may be killed be tween December 1 and 15. Under tht house and senate journals, the legis lature adopted a conference report keeping the lid on quail hunting. If the attorney general's office up holds the law as published in the ses sion laws, Kansas sportsmen will en joy fifteen days of quail shooting. The law as published is clear. It states flatly that quail may be killed be tween the dates of December 1 and 15 Sportsmen are limited to the killing of five birds a day and are not allow ed to have more than ten quail in their possession at one time. A number of county attorneys have ruled that the law permits the killing of quail. But their opinions were based solely on the law as published and signed by the governor. The Legislative Record. The legislative record, though, shows the closed season was retained in the overhauling of state game laws. Whether the attorney general will hold that the old law applies or the new law with a clouded title, is a matter of concern; -to practically 25, 000 sportsmen. If the new law as signed by the gov ernor is in effect, it will mean a re opening of the quail seasons in Kan sas at least until the next legisla ture comes to town. If the attorney general rules that the governor mere ly signed the wrong bill, then the old law would remain in effect. Mn short the situation would probably stand just as before. But the effect on numerous provisions in the game laws might be disturbed. Amendments Important, Amendments enacted by the 1917 legislature are of importance to the state fish and game warden's office. If the legislature passed the bill which the game department wanted and the governor signed the wrong bill, then perhaps the bill with a clear legisla tive record until its trip to the gover nor's office, is not a law either. A measure cannot become a law with out the governor's signature except in event both branches of the legislature pass the measure over the governor's veto- The record of th- house and senate journals show that ihe fish and game measure went to a conference com mittee, that the conferees agreed to leave a closed season on quail. Both houses adopted the conference report. But the governor signed a bill provid ing for an open season. The open season measure was officially pub lished. Now the sportsmen want to know which measure is the law. GET GOMPERS NOTE V. S. Ambassador Delivers Labor's Re assuring Note to Russia. Petrograd, Sept. 19. David R.

When Houghton saw Kelly first in I March, 1915, he said he was highly excited, haggard and eyes staring," and that his 'condition was about the same when he saw him on August 24 of that year.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917 NO OIL FAMINE Head of Parent Standard Oil Company Allays Fear. Tital Problem Is To Encourage billing of 'ew Wells. GIVE GOVT ALL 'IT ASKS at ion Will Require 55,000,000 Barrels Gasoline Sext Year. Need Not Cur.tail Auto Trade, hut Educate Car Drivers. Atlantic City, N. J.. Sept. 1. Ther in not the slightest danfjer of a deficiency in the supply either of crude oil or its products, kerosene and pasoUne, for the use of the United States or its allies, in the opinion of A. Bedford, of New York, president t( the Standard oil company of New Jersey. Mr. Kedford expressed the conviction here today before the war convention of the American Chamber of Commerce. "America," said Mr. Bedford, "la producing and can produce all that will be needed for thest purposes." But he allied that "our government should receive the first call upon all petroleum produced, either for Itself or as it may designate for the use of our allies in their conduct of the war." Mr. Bedford declared the vital prob lem confronting the petroleum indus try today was to increase the produc tion of crude oil. "The price." he said, "should be i sufficiently attractive to induce more and more people to ami wens, mus t insuring a steady supply and offering always the opportunity of finding a great pool which will make the whole I situation suddenly easy." I Not Running Full Capacity. I While the oil refining capacity of I the country, Mr. Bedford stated, is I greater than the present demand, the United States is consuming crude oil at the rate of more than 380,000,000 barrels a year, while the annual pro duction in this country amounts to 312.000,000 barrels. There was in storage in the United States on July 1 last, however, 164. 590,942 barrels of petroleum. "It will thus appear." added Mr. Bedford, "that with the stocks above ground and given the present rate of production and consumption the sup ply is sufficient to Insure us having enough oil for at least the next five years, provided the production is fair ly maintained. So, while the occa sion is not one for alarm it is one for taking intelligent -measures toward adequate production of what we need." "The petroleum committee appoint ed by the council of national defense to co-operate with the government," Mr. Bedford aald. "has recognized that the government requirements should have absolute precedence and that no consideration of costs, con venience or selfish interests should in terfere with our giving the govern ment everything It asked of us." Need More Crude Oil. To emphasize his suggestion that the production of crude oil be in creased, Mr. Bedford sad that this country will require next year at least 55,000,000 barrels of gasoKne. "That aniount," he declared, "simply cannot be obtained from the quantity of crude petroleum now being produced. "They tell us the war is to be won in the Jilr. Our country is said to be building large numbers of airplanes. Our allies are building flying machines as fast as they know how. Vital to the every existence of these airplanes is the highest grade of gasoline which can be produced. The prospect is that the present year will call for 8 mil lion barrels of gasoline for the use of our allies."

This was a favorable crop week in all parts of Kansas, the Topeka office of the U. S. weather bureau an nounces. Splendid 'rains, totalling Hn many cases from 1 to 2 inches, put the ground in fine condition in most of the western counties, while warm, sunshiny weather the latter part of the week hastened the maturity of corn and grain sorghums. Rains in the eastern half of the state were gen erally light, but sufficient for present needs in most localities. Corn advanced rapidly during the week and the earliest planted is now 'almost safe from frost, but indications are the hulk of the J?rop will require until October 1 before it Is safe, ex cept In the more southern counties, where it will mature within a week, and a great deal will require until October 5 to 10, which is earlier than the average date of the first killing frost, except in the extreme northwest counties. Cuttinc has begun here and there over the state, but will not be general for at least another week. Some silos are being filled, especially in parts of the central and western counties where the July drought ruin ed the prospect for rain, but, where corn ia doing well, practically none has been put into silos yet. The grain sorghums have developed to the point where approximately SO per cent will probably mature in the southern portion. In the northwest ern counties only an unusual delay in the occurrence of the first killing frost will mature these crops. Broom corn pulling is being rushed in the southwestern counties. The ground is mostly ready for wneat sowing in all Darts and this work has begun here and there and is in full blast in many western coun ties, where some of the early sown is up to fine stands and is being Das tured. So far there have been few if any indications of an infestation of the Hessian fly, tho grasshoppers have Deen very damaging in some western counties. Most of the last cutting of alfalfa has been secured, with a prospect of a am crop in the southern counties if frost holds off. Picking Jonathans and Grimes Golden apples began generally in the eastern part or the state this week. WHY DISMANTLE FORTS Ex-War Minister On Treason Trial Defends His Qixler. Petrograd. Sept. 19. Witnesses in the trial of General Soukhomlinoff. the former Russian minister of war who is facing a charge of high treason, having concluded their evidence, the general today was invited to give any explanation he might wish to make. The former minister appeared ex hausted by the Ions judicial proceed ings. Speaking in a weak, tired voice he endeavored to prove the necessity of dismantling Russian fortresses for which he had given orders. He de clared that owing to the conditions of modern warfare the fortresses long had lost all their strategic importance and would only have been traps for the retreating troops. "At the time of the Russo-Turkish campaign," he said, "I gained the conviction that provisional defensive works constructed while hostilities were in progress were of far greater practical utility." General Soukhdmlinoff concluded by saying he never concerned himself with politics but worked exclusively for the welfare of the fatherland.

It is so difficult to refrain from adding a bow or a frill or some other useless do-dad to a gown, that most women are badly dressed. That is the way the "stouts," as the commer cial folk cruelly call them, are always in despair. They are forever wanting to frilly and fluffy and petitte, and it simply cannot be. It is only the wom an who has no hips that may assume the appearance of hips. Truly, life is puzzling, my children. The fashinos for the new season are for the leans. There is no disputing that.

The arrival of cape effects in coats means the return of the Medici collar and all kinds of ripple lines for sleeves and neck. Sttme of the new neck whimsies are in chair colored taffeta, which is a soft, flesh tint. Orchidee is another favorite shade. For guimpes. Georgette and crepe de chine are the best. The organdie col lars are good with the picot edge. For the girl with the slender figure, which looks well in rTearly anything but an umbrella case, the pointed jacket is wonderfully becoming. These jackets do very well also for the ample form, except that the chopped off sides and back tend to increase the appearance of "spread." With these jackets go the ever ascending collar, which is no longer a collar, hut a roof. Oh, miracles of fashion fluff, you sometimes do appall us!

One of the Topeka men who receiv ed a very good commission from the officers' school this summer, is so much improved by his physical train ing that he hardly looks like the same man. At first he gained quite heavily in weight. Then he lost his extra pounds, and two or three that he had to start with. His waist tapered down, his shoulders broadened, his muscles hardened, and his face took on the firm look and the healthy bronze that are the gifts of the outdoor life and hard labor. Besides, he never looked so well in his finest togs (and they were always right up to the mark in costliness and fashion), as he looks in his officer's uniform. It was made by a first rate tailor, and they do say as how it cost $65. tho it looks like, a thousand dol lar. The man is indeed in luck, for they say that he is almost sure to get the girl he wants in addition to all the rest of his good fortune.

Regular and national guard general officers com manding divisional training camps are to be eent to Europe on an observation f.,t. c-,i of the corn nounWment of this plan by the war department is expected. Under the voluntary censorship spe cific movement of general officers may not be published without authorization of the military authorities. For this reason, the list of divisional com manders already selected to make the tour will be available only when the department's announcement is made. It is assumed, however, that if possible every division commander will be given an opportunity to familiarize himself somewhat with actual war conditions. The early stages of the mobilization and training of the na tional guard and national army di visions will be left to the brigade and .regimental commanders. The Tirst weeks or training ramu work will be devoted largely to get ting the men equipped and classified to the various arms of the service and that period will be devoted wherever possible to the observation tour abroad for general officers.

Always carry one or two fresh blouses in your trav eling bag. An umbrella is a friend in need. A wrap or traveling bag placed upon your seat should hold it for you when you go into the dining car. It is a great rudeness to remove any article placed on a seat for the purpose of reserving it. You must always tip the porter ii the Pullman car. Even tho you take a seat in thg Pullman for two or three hours in the daytime, you should give him a small fee for brushing your clothes and tak ing care of your baggage. MRS. M.

The cabinet crisis settled, the Korniloff revolt quelled, and plans for re-organization of the army started under way, the provisional government today turned its energies toward preparing for the constituent assembly which will fix Russia's form of government. Active steps were begun thrurtut the nation to establish voting boards and the complicated machinery by which delegates will be Helected for the con stitutional conference on December 11. 1'remier Kerensky, from the army front where he is aiding in investiga tion of the Korniloff revolt and in planning the rehabilitation of the whole army today issued a proclama tion expressing the government's thanks to the committees on public safety formed at the time of the Kor niloff rebellion. He asked that they now dissolve, their functions having ceaseTto be a necessity. AnBwering former Foreign Minister.

GEN. WOOD A SPEAKER Clay Con ter Gave Sold i er Boys B i g Picnic Tuesday Afternoon. Clay Center, Kan., Sept. 19. Clay Center gave a banquet and picnic Tuesday afternoon to the soldier boys who leave today for Camp Funston. The picnic dinner was held in Hunt ress park and the program started at one o'clock in the auditorium which was filled to its capacity. After a few selections of patriotic music, Maj. Cren. Leonard wood ar rived, escorted by the Clay Center band, and the crowd rose and gave him an ovation which lasted several minutes, showing its appreciation of the distinguished guest. General Wood was introduced by Dr. Dickson, and for more than an hour held the attention of the crowd. The speaker was frequently applauded by the en thusiastic audience which showed its hearty approval of the sentiments he expressed. The people of the city and country made the occasion a semi-holiday. closing the stores, and city schools and everybody turned out to cheer the boys who are leaving shortly to erve their country. GOOD DRY WEATHER CROP Sorghum Stands the Drouth Much Better Than Corn Docs. Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 19. Sor ghum crops have demonstrated their ability to withstand dry weather, ac cording to W. A. Boys, district agri cultural agent in west-central Kan sas. Much of the corn was damaged beyond recovery while the sorghums will make good yields of forage and" possibly some grain in case, of the earlier varieties. Feed crops and pastures were im proved by the August rains and the- yields or crops suitable for silage will be better than were expected a few weeks ago. The quality, moreover, has been improved.

This umber of Men To Handled in 4 Days. Be MAY CUT LOCAL SERVICE Operate Forty Special Trains to Camp Funston. Foreign Line Equipment Will Be in Big Use. f The Union Pacific system today in Kansas faced the greatest task that any railway company has ever been called upon to perform in this state. In the next four days, including to day, the road will move nearly 20,000 men into Camp Funston. Transportation problems that never before were thrown upon a Kansas railroad must be solved. In the period specified the railway company will move forty special trains into the can tonment and give themthe right of way over all other traffic. Practical ly every regular passenger train run ning into tne army post, win carry spe cial equipment. Forced curtailment of regular pas senger schedules may be the result. Tt is common talk amonsr trainmen, army officers and officials of the road i that a number of passenger trains, especially locals, may have to be dis continued until the troops are in camp, j Passenger officials here today, how- ever, denied that they have received orders to discontinue any regular trains for the period. Were it not for the foreign line equipment, being used in the transfer of the men practically every regular train on the line would probably have to be discontinued in order to meet the government demand. The major ity of the special trains come from foreign lines and are run thru to Fort Riley after being taken over by the Union Pacific-Hundreds of roll ing stock units from foreign lines are already on the Union Pacific tracks, doing troop transportation duty and a part of thenv are being held at Funston for emergency. Greatest Rush This Week. It is pointed out by officials that the greatest congestion on the road will be reached the latter two days of this week when the majority of the troop trains will begin arriving .at their destination one after the other at close .intervals. The lines coming into Fort Riley from both the east and west will carry an almost con tinuous stream of trains. Many ex tra sections will have to be added to regular thru trains. By Saturday night it is estimated that 80 per cent of the passenger rolling stock on Union Pacific lines near Camp -Funston will be foreign line equipment. The situation will be relieved by Tuesday and the Union Pacific will be in the best shape in sofar as passenger equipment in Kan sas is concerned than it has been in the last six: weeks. t Officials here today stated that the transportation- of the troops started out smoothly. Co-operation with the army officials is expected to make it possible for the road to handle the movement with the minimum fric tion, considering the enormous size of the task. Motive Power Problem. Passenger schedulers are not the only one threatened by the troop movement. The added sections tto regular trains and specials will de mand a great many more locomotives and that must either come from for eign lines or taken from freight trains, Hut the troops will move as planned, officials of the road promise, regard less of the consequence to the1 road's regular business. Uncle Sam's men are going into Funston witfl right of way over all trains, freight or passenger. If curtailment of local schedules is necessary to get them there on time, the slicing will probably be made. PRINTERS ARE LOYAL Typofrraphk-al Union Members Big Purchasers of liberty Bonds. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 19. Thru Its executive council, the International Typographical union was one of the first trade unions to subscribe for the first issue of liberty bonds. In the al lotment of these bonds the Interna tional Typographical union's subscrip tion was cut from $50,000 to $30,000 Subordinate local unions subscribed to the amount of $54,850, while the subscriptions of individ ual members and the purchases made thru chapel organizations amounted to $1,130,300, bringing the total subscriptions made bv members of the international Typographical union up to $1,215,000.

Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 1 not inventions or machinery, will win the European war, in the opinion of Myj. Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of the national army cantonment at Camp Funston, Kansas, who believes that the men who win it must be trained to the highest degree of mili tary perfection. "This war will not be easily won," General Wood declared in an address to the students of the Kansas State Agricultural college here. "Many thousands of our boys must go across the seas and thousands of them are not coming back.

The only known treatment which will do this, aside from a painful, expensive aurgical opera tion. Is the application of ordinary mer colized wax, which is as harmless as it is effective. The wax is put on at night, just as you apply cold cream, and washed off in the morning. It absorbs the dead and half dead surface skin in almost invisible flaky particles, a little each day, no discomfort being experienced.

This mercolized wax, which you can get at any drug store in orginal package, is indeed a veritable wonder-worker.
