It is due only to good fortune that the little girl is kicking up her heels and wrinkling her nose in an effort to smile today in a comfortable crib at the home of Hugh Larimer, sheriff. Another turn of fortune's wheel and she miuht Just as easily have been a victim of a stray dog or to the chills of last night. The tiny dark-haired and blue-eyed girl was found by Mrs. William j Roller, eight miles northwest of To- peka on the "upper" road about 5 j o'clock in the afternoon. She and some school children rescued it, a j neighbor woman with a baby of her own nursed it, ami mipn Larimer and It -bert Miler brought it to the sheriff's residence Wednesday night. She Saw Grip's llrass. Mrs. Holler lives less than a quarter of a mile from the spot where the baby was found but neither she nor members of her family saw anyone leave it there. She was walking west along the Silver Lake road, going to the home or a neighbor, when the I flash of the sun upon shining metal attracted her attention to the high j ground at the side of the road. The j metal was the hasps and lock upon a new black grip. When Mrs. Roller saw the grip she j stopped and instantly heard the wail of a baby. Some school children came i along and when Mrs. Roller remarked! that she believed she heard a baby's i cry from the interior of the grip, a small boy pointed to a bundle beside i it and the bundle moved. Well lres.sed. The little girl was fully, dressed in! neat and tastefully made baby clothes, i Then she was completely wrapped in I a black cape-coat. Inside the coat I she was cuddled up as comfortably as j in a crib. I Other people were called and the i baby was taken to the home of Mrs. Dan Ltindis. 1 he grip was opened and the contents examined. In it were all the things a baby needs, all freshly laundered and as carefully made as those it wore. Then there was a woman's yellow silk night dress, an expensive piece of feminine appar el and between that and the baby clothing was a page from a Topeka newspaper dated September 16. There Is nothing marked in the paper and It was probably used merely as a wrapping. The inside of the grip was studded with safety pins. Every thing except the cape-coat in -which the baby was wrapped was compara tively new, the grip being unsoiled and unmarred. Identity a Mystery. The baby's identity Is a complete mystery. What manner f woman left it where it was found, if the mother was present, is unknown. There is a hedge fence just south of the point where the little bundle was found which would hide it from the home of the Roller family. It could not have been there long when Mrs Roller passed by. It was not particu larly hungry and was as clean as a pin. Only three automobiles passed that point within two hours previous to the time the baby was found three cars that have not been accounted for. One was a big brown car, one a new Buick and the third without any defi nite description. All of these cars will be traced down. The officers are on the trail of them now. What impelling force It was that caused the mother to desert such a child in such a place officers do not know but they have theories. One is that some unfortunate girl returning home from a Kansas City or a Topeka hospital with her baby, lost her nerve, found she could not face the home folks and sacrificed her child to pride.

"OVER TOP" ON 4-MILE FRONT Infantry Charges the German Trenches at 5:40 A. M. Artillery Barrage Swept Coun try Like a Broom. By The Associated Press. Reports that continued to come from the Flanders battle front during the day indicated the advance was pro ceeding with notable success, ground having been gained which, if the Bri ish succeeded in holding, it would con stitute one of the mos notable achievements in months. The unofficial dispatches show the main drive was exerted between the Ypres-Roulers railway and Hollebeke, or on a front of some four and a half miles astride the Tpres-Menin road. It was in this crucial sector that the gains were most marked. The battle of the Menin road as the dispatches describe it is being fought over muddy ground, and in the face of a wicked machine gun fire from the Germans, altho the British heavy guns had wiped out countless defenses and the British barrage was of the most effective character. This attack, however, is being made under improv ing weather conditions instead of dur ing a rainstorm, with the weather constantly growing worse, as on so many previous occasions. British Headquarters In France and Belgium, Sept. 20 (by the Associated Press). Field Marshal Haig's offen sive, which was begun at dawn this morning on the Belgian front, is pro ceeding with marked success, espe cially in the crucial sector between the Ypres-Roulors railways and Holle beke. A bitter fight is in progress in the neighborhood of Inverness Copse, Nunswood and Glencorse wood. If the attacks maintain the positions to which they have advanced in this sec tion they have accomplished one of the most remarkable and most Im portant achievements in recent months.

Twenty Mulvane men have pledged them selves to give $50 each as the first thousand dollars towards a million dollar reward to be paid to the man of any nationality who will get the kaiser. These men believe such a reward, if the notices were properly scattered across German lines, might get re sults and would be one of the surest and quickest means of an early peace. They would broaden the offer and pay the reward to the estate of the man should he lose his life in the successful prosecution of that pur pose. MORE DRAFT BRIBERY? Another Missouri County Is Told to Investigate Exemption of 15. Kansas City, Sept. 20. What may result in another Missouri draft fraud was made public today by Matt W. Hall, chairman of the western dis trict exemption board, in ordering: an investigation of the exemption of 15 men by local boards in Nodaway coun ty. The order was given to the pros ecuting attorney of the county and if he declines to act an investigation will be made by the district board, Mr. Hall declared. Mr. Hall says that he was informed of the alleged fradulent exemptions by a man living in Maryville. He re ferred the case to the sheriff of the county but in a later report the in- rormant is said to have told Mr. Hail I that the sheriff said the case was out j of his jurisdiction. I Fix tend St. Joe Investigation. St. Joe. Sept. 20. The investigation, of alleged exemptions board frauds j and bribery here of the federal grand j jury has assumed a much wider scope than had been expected. The first announcement was that but one of the three local boards the county board was involved, but it develops that cases handled by one or more of the city boards also are receiving the grand jury. It is predicted that a number of indictments will be forth coming within the next 24 hours. FACES AJJEW CHARGE Will Court Martial Komiloff for Rus sian Retreat Iiast July. Petrograd, Sept. 20.

MAY LIST 'EM AS DESERTERS All Are Subject to Court Mar tial by the Army. Even the Death Penalty Might Be Given Them. The state adjutant general's office today listed 107 men in six Kansas counties as slackers. Unless reports are received from these men by next Monday, September 24, they will be listed as deserters. All of the men failed to report when their names were called for examination before lo cal military exemption boards. Dragnets are to be used by state and federal officials to bring the men into the federal service. All of the 107 men were today declared to be automatically in the national army. JNext Monday was designated as the final day for the men to teport for military service. Failure to report will place the men in the list of deserters. There is to be no hitch in the pro gram for dealing with deserters, ac cording to announcement bv militarv authorities. Captain Montgomery in the adjutant general's office has di rected the compilation of lists of names in all counties. The men who failed to report for examination are now in the slacker list. It is nrobable a number of the men will later be touna in some branch of the military service- In that event the records will be changed and the men given places on the "honor roll. Report Men as Deserters. Names of many Kansans of selective draft age will be submitted next week to Fred Robertson, United States dis trict attorney. The men reported as deserters will be subject to court mar tial and at the discretion of the war department might receive the death penalty. There is ample provision for such action in time of war. A dozen reports received in Topeka are to the effect that men listed for serv ice cannot be found by local boards. Counties affected by today's notices include Barber, Barton, Bourbon. But ler, Cherokee and Crawford. The list for the state is not complete. Thoro records of other counties will be com piled from day to day and a new slacker list will be reported each day until the records of the state have been canvassed. A review of the Shawnee county record, showed six of the nine men listed as slackers, are in some branch of military service and on the honor roll.

GEN.'S Two American Officers Participated In Recent Verdun offensive. American Headquarters in France, Sept. 20. (By the Associated Press) Brig. Gen. George B. Duncan and Maj. Campbell King are the first American officers to receive the war cross in the French awards growing out of American participation in the recent Verdun offensive when they acted as observation officers in for ward artillery posts. Whether the officers will be permitted to accept the decoration is not known. First Awards to TT. S. These are the first American offi cers in the American military service at the front or elsewhere to receive decorations from any one of the allied powers. The French award to them raises at once the question of future enforcement of the American army regulation forbidding American sol diers to wear foreign decorations. General Duncan today exhibited his war cross kept in his trunk and likewise the helmet which he wore at Verdun. The "tin hat" was dented where a fragment of shell had struck it- "It was pretty hot up there," the general confessed to the correspond ent, "but I was certainly surprised to receive the French war cross." f lfl''liaw nsit jCorporal BrueH wearing Every American soldier who enters the fighting zone will wear around his neck an identification tag which will carry all the necessary data for his iden tification: his name, his rank, his company and regiment. This photograph shows the tag as it is worn around the neck except that this one is outside the shirt to permit it being photographed, while in ordinary use it is worn inside the shirt. NO PEACE TERMS Germany's Reply Will .Not Of fer To Give Up Belgium. But Believe It Will Approve International Arbitration. Berlin, Sept. 20. While the text of the German reply to Pope Benedict's peace proposals will not be announced before Saturday, the Berlin press and parliamentary circles concur in the prediction that the message will not conta-in specific declarations con cerning Belgium. The fate of that country just now is calling forth excessive pan-German I frothing due to recurrent rumors that the government had definitely decided to abandon all intentions of perma nent control in the occupied Belgian territory. While these reports are said to have basis in the alleged "trial balloon" sent out by England they equally carry earmarks of an obvious artificial inspiration for the purpose of supporting the annexationists' cam paign.

Osawatomie Patients Wash Own Clothes in River. "Business administration" an ex cellent catch phrase in a; political campaign is becoming a cause of hardship and suffering to unfortunates in state institutions. Thru "business policies" employed in the management of state institutions, there are no lights at the Osawatomie state hospital and no laundry work has been done for a week. Inmates are being sent to the banks of Marias des Cygne river to cut wood that fuel may be provided for cooking their meals. Because the state administration was busy in a political checker game with the coal operators during the summer months, there are neither coal nor coal contracts for most of the state institutions. Now cold weather in on the way and the state coal bins are empty. Never in the history of the state did Kansas face a situation which now confronts almost every institu tion. Such coal as is being supplied at most of the institutions is bought on the open market in competition with domestic purchasers and in practically every instance at the same price. For weeKs state administration papers have been filled with things the state would do to the coal operators. To date the state has done nothing. Threats Were Mere Talk. Threats were made to operate the Osage fields. When the mines were offered to Governor Capper, they were not reopened and neither the state nor domestic consumers received a ton of coal. The government this week set' tied the muddle by a tentative advance in prices an advance to the operators and an advance to the consumer. Now reports are coming to Topeka with details ol the hardships to in mates thru operation of "business pol cies. The penalty for a summer of political capital making and future vote getting is being paid by unfor tunates in the state institutions. The first report of the effect of too much "business" in the management of state institutions, concerns the Osa watomie state hospital. Real hard ships are faced by the state hospital for insane. Because the state engag ed in a Joint debate with the coal operators during the summer months, there is no coal at Dr. Carmichael's institution. Nor is the trouble due to the fact that the legislature did not provide sufficient money. Funds for the state institutions at this time are far in ex cess of those provided by Governor Hodges" so-called "pork barrel" leg islature. The funds are greatly in excess of those approved by the sen ate of 19i5, which Governor Capper severely criticised for extravagance in his 1916 campaign speeches. It is not a shortage of funds. Plans Not Carried Out. Nearly 1,500 unfortunate men and women are inmates of the Osawat omie state hospital. Yet for a week lights have not burned on the wards. Nurses have made their rounds with the aid of a tallow candle or with a lantern. Laundries at the Osawatomie hos pital are operated every day in order to handle the heavy work. But for a week there has been no laundry work. There was no coal with which to heat the water and run the ma chines. Nor was there coal with which to supply the furnaces in the heating plant, or to operate the dyna mos in the light plant. In order that meals might be pro- viaea tne inmates, men were sent I into the timber to cut wood for fueL Wood was used in the kitchen h, cause there was no coaL A hurry call was sent to coal deal ers. But the state stood on an equal footing with corporations and indi viduals in buying fuel. There is no reserve supply of fuel at any of the state institutions. A number of the institutions are either entirely without fuel or scraping the bottom of the bins. Contracts for coal have for years been, made in June. This year, tho, the state applied "business methods" in the buying of its coal supply. Col umns of publicity matter were printed concerning the crsl problem, the things the Btate would do to safeguard and protect the consumer. Thousands of families were induced to postpone the purchase of fuel for next winter. So busy was the state in "protecting" the consumer that its own contracts were neglected. Now the coal famine threatens the operation of several of the state institutions this winter. GET OUT "HEAVIES" Temperature Tonight Will Make Many Topekans Long: for Summer.

The general public's excitement in the situation was attested by great crowds on all downtown streets until a late hour last night, and a jam of excitedly curious which assembled early today General Railroad Strike Threatened. There was no doubt but that the administration was profoundly aston ished by the almost unanimous vote in the senate for a break with Germany. President Irogyen and his advisers have steadily insisted on full neu trality. The 23 to 1 vote may upset their calculations, particularly if anything like that majority is attained in the vote of the lower house. In some circles today It was pointed out that President Irogyen has it in his power to override even the deci sion of both houses by exercise of his. veto against a break. Tension in the city was aggravated today by imminence of a general strike on all Argentina railways. OUT OF HIDING! Ex-Swedish Minister Says Kai ser Didn't Decorate Him. But as to Spy Messages, Well Cronholm Is Silent. Mexico City, Sept 20. Folke Cron holm, ex-charge of the Swedish lega tion emerged from hiding today for the first time since the United States bared the famous von Eckhardt letter to deny indignantly that he had aided Germany as von Eckhardt said he had in his dispatches recommending a decoration for the Swedish diplomat. "The German minister never offer ed or promised me decoration," Cron holm declared. "Moreover, I have re ceived no ecoration "The implication that the German minister seems to have gathered, that I furnished information as to Ger many's enemies in Mexico is as false as it is ridiculous.

"I am not in any position now to make any further statement regarding Sec retary Lansing's revelations because I am still ignorant whether a state ment has been made by the Swedish government, or the contents of such a statement, if it has been issued. Any statement from me prior to such knowledge of my country's position would be contrary to Swedish diplo matic usage. If, however, I do re ceive the authentic text of any state ment issued by my government, it is possible I may be able to add some thing to it." Cronholm has been unreachable ever since the state department's expose of the German minister's letter and only made a brief appearance today. He has been living at the German club. 6,500T0RT MEN QUIT w heiress to the large estate of Miss Ma Big Strike or Longshoremen Tics Ip tilda Lowery of Grand Rapids. Mich.. Shinning In X. Y. Harbor.

Fifteen Rooms Are Needed for Kansas Division Manager. E. F. CARTER COMING HERE He Will Be General Manager for the Entire State. 'o Changes Are To Be Made la the Local Offices. Effective October 1, division head quarters of the Southwestern Bell Telephone company for Kansas will headquarters at St. Louis. This mean, that the Southwestern s business in Kansas will be under the supervision ot a general manager in Topeka. This announcement today, coupled with the fact that last Janu-.ry the Southwest ern purchased the four lots adjoining its present headquarters, 8 1 2-1 4 Jack son street, brings indications that the company is planning extensive en largements of its interests in Topeka to almost a reality. Between twelve and fifteen large office rooms will be necessary to house the new general ma nager's force which will be brought here. Officials of the company are in Topeka today trying to locate temporary quarters. liig New Building. Those in close touch with the Southwestern's interests in Kansas be lieve the company is planning the ma terial enlargement of its present head quarters building by erecting an ad dition, or possibly a new building, costing several thousand dollars, on the lots purchased last January. When this is done more offices of the com pany would be brdught here. The purchase of the lots 270-2-4-, adjoining the present building on the south, was made from Harrison H. Leavitt, Hattie Leavitt, his wife; Ora Onott, Helen S. Leavitt and Leslie D. Leavitt, all heirs of the Leavitt estate. An old brick residence, now vacant, occupies the property. Vive President Kims stated today that the difficulties encountered by the telephone company in the opera tion of its property due to the unusual demands made upon its organization and the requirements which the com pany has to meet, both from the gov ernment and the general public, cou pled with increased costs of rendering service under the present conditions, has made it imperative for the com pany to establish this direct and local supervision. An Advantage to Patrons. Mr. Kims also stated that with com mission regulation in the various states, the company believes that this Dlan Qt organization will nrove advan. tageous for the reason that the com mission will have near at hand the op erating officials of the company's property located within the commis sion's Jurisdiction. The advantages of the change with respect to the busi ness relations between the company and Its patrons are manifest and this advantage has had considerable weight in influencing the company to set up a separate organization for Kansas. E. P. Carter of the staff of Ben S. Read, a second vice president, St. Louis, has been appointed general manager for Kansas. Beyond this ap pointment the company's organization for Kansas has not yet been finally determined. Announcements regard ing it will be made later. No change is to be made in the or ganization of A.

Outrageous Condition in'Bloody Fifth,' Says Dis't Attorney. "Gunmen Were Brought Here for Definite Purpose." Philadelphia. Sept. 20. Five sepa rate investigations -were begun today of the killing of a city policeman by m gunman who, authorities allege, con fessed to having been brought here from Jersey City for the primary elec tion by one of the rival factions In the contest for leadership of the Fifth iward, known as the "Bloody Fifth" and announcement was made that a warrant for the arrest of Mayor Smith would be sworn out as a result of cnarges maae ny isaaore aiern, a member of the state legislature to the effect that he had forewarned the mayor of the Importation of the gun jnan.

"All the power of my administra tion," he added, "will be used to as sist in ferreting out the crime ana fixing the responsibility upon the real criminals." The affair has aroused the city as probably no other of a similar nature in its history and in addition to the investigation by District Attorney Ro tan, inquiries were under way today by the coroner, a detective bureau, tne police and a citizens committee. After an examination of witnesses to the shooting, Mr. Rotan declared several other men besides the two under ar rest were implicated and that the kill ing of Eppley was without provoca tion. "I found." he said, "outrageous con ditions in tre Fifth ward. It seems that six or eight men committed this assault absolutely without provoca tion and only two have been arrested. There is no question but that these gunmen were brought here by some body for a definite purpose." Gunmen Make Confession. Ths district attorney said the two prisoners, Jacob Mascia, 23 years old, and John Castello, 22, had confessed that they were brought here to vote for Isaac Deutsch, rival candidate of James A. Carey, whose life also was attempted, but they had denied doing the shooting. Mascia is held on the charge of murder and Costello as an accessory. Deutsch, who apparently was de feated by Carey in his candidacy for select council, disclaimed responsi bility for bringing the out of town men here and declared he had no knowledge of their presence. PROOF OF ATROCITY Claims Pro-German's $1,000 Surgeon Mutilated Canadian's Hand. Chicago, Sept. 20. I. S. Rossiter. veteran of the Canadian expeditionary force of 1914, today claimed the re ward of $1,000, offered by Ir. Albert Fuchs, German -American millionaire, for proof of German atrocities. Rossiter carried the proof in m his right handr It was purposely mutil ated by a German hospital surgeon, Rossiter said, after he had been cap tured June 4, 1916. He said he was only slightly wounded but that the surgeon amputated one of his fingers and then deliberately cut all the ten dons in his hand. If Rossiter Is given the reward, he said, he will finance the transportation of enough victims of atrocities to claim Fuchs entire fortune of $1,600,- 000, which Fuchs recently announced he was willing to use to defend Ger mans against charges of brutality. BAKERS MUST BE GOOD Receive Impressive Hint That Some thing Will Drop Otherwise. Chicago, Sept. 20. The National Association of Master Bakers received an impressive hint at their convention here today that the government may take control of the bakeries unless the bakers themselves work oat a plan satisfactory to the public. The flint came from F. R. Shepard of Boston, chairman of the bakers' war board, which met recently with Mr. Hoover at Washington. Mr. Shepard's remarks were care fully guarded, but he told the bakers they must have faith in their board and that something hanging over their heads might drop if they do not follow orders.

WORLD'S MORAL PINCERS CLOSE ON KAISERISM Sentiment Against German Rule Spelling Its Enin. Teuton Press Beginning To Warn of a Dirided People. WILSON APPEAL SINKS DEEP Peace Can Not Come Now Ex cept on Terms He Set Forth. Break by Argentina Would Be Most Severe Blow. Washington, Sept. 20. Slowly the world's moral pincers are closing on Hohenzollernism. From all corners of the earth today came indications that the German rule is facing its inevit able end destruction, ruin. Diplomatic advices here indicate that for the first time the Teuton press is beginning to warn of a divided people initial admission that the force of President Wilson's appeal to the liberals is getting home. Hard upon these facts came the sudden decision of the Argentina sen ate to break with Germany. If the lower house approves the senate's act and Argentina joins the powerful ever growing forces against the kaiser's regime, it will be the heaviest blow struck the central powers since the United States Joined the war Follow Example of V. S. One by one the countries of the western hemisphere are falling in be hind the United States. Argentina and the others have been the hot bed of German intrigue thruout the war. In all these countries Germany has powerful commercial holdings treas ured possessions which she has battled vigorously, tho with blundering di plomacy, to hold until after the war when she would make them the ground work for revival of her aims for commercial-political world su premacy. All these dreams are now jeopardized by Argentina's action. And peace cannot come now except on the terms of President Wilson. The pope is thru convinced that no fur ther negotiations are possible until a great victory has been won by the allies or the rule of the Hohenzollerns toppled by the Teutonic peoples. Is Anti-U-boat Invention Success? Reports on submarine sinkings for the last week show further decreases in the number of large vessels sunk and an increasing number of attacks on smaller ships. Secretary Daniels neither confirms nor denies that this government may have secured at last a means of re ducing the effectiveness of the U-boat torpedo. Russia promises to whip her army into shape for a spring drive. And when the big squeeze comes this time, her officials here say, Lloyd George will not be able to declare "the Rus sian nipper of the pincers broke." BRITISH LAUNCH (Continued from Page One) this vital ground and the Teuton ar tillery is retaliating heavily against the British big guns. Today's offensive will be known as the battle of the Menin road. Fair weather has improved the ground but the mud still was deep and the whole territory covered with water-filled shell holes, tangled barbed wire and shattered trees. The German defenses were composed largely of concrete redoubts. The Germans poured a wicked stream of bullets Into the ranks of the advancing troops from concrete re doubts. Every little elevation and all the woods were choked with rapid firs guns. Shells Swept Like a Broom. The British encountered hard ficbt. ing at many places, but their magnifi cent artillery work had done much to- mane tne nrst stasre of their drive easier. The British barrage swept the country like a broom. The Germans knew the attack was coming but were unaware of its exact locality. There was a light rain last night but the weather cleared this morning and the visibility is improving. London, Sept. 20. The British forces on the Belgium front attacked the German positions at 6:40 o'clock tnis morning east of Ypres. Field Marshal Haig reports that satisfactory progress was made and that the Brit ish already have captured some val uable positions. The British official statement an nouncing that Field Marshal Haig had taken the offensive this morning says: "Wo attacked at 5:40 this morning on a wide front east of Tpres. Satis factory progress is reported. Our troops already have captured some valuable positions." 'Drive Made East of Ypres. Field Marshal Hale's selection of the battle front to the east of Ypres in rseigium, as tne scene or his latest offensive against the Germans, indi cates that it is a continuance of the expressed purpose of the British com mander in chief to force the armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba varia from the western coast of Bel gium and to cut off the German sub marine and airplane bases on the North sea from Zeebrugge to Kleuport, including Ostend. The British drive apparently Is be ing made in the direction of Roulers and Courtral, from whih Belgian towns, according to recent dispatches from the Dutch frontier, the German military authorities have been evacu ating the civilian population. That the British offensive had been in progress -for several days was made known in recent statements of the German general headquarters staff. The Germans reported that the Brit ish were maintaining a violent and destructive fire against the Teuton positions, the bombardment frequently reaching the Intensity of drum fire. Raze German Trenches. Paris, Sept. 19. German trenches on various parts of the front were razed last night by French troops and prisoners were taken, says today's war office report.

JILTED, HE SLAYS HER Farm Hand Kills Teacher at School Latex Commits Suicide. Hartington, Neb., Sept. 20. Miss Cora Hints of Coleridge, daughter of J. M. Hints, a prominent farmer of that locality, was shot and killed at her school seven miles southwest of this city by Frank Faust, also of Coleridge. After killing the girl the murderer fled to an adjacent corn field and shot hl..iself, the shot proving instantly fatal. Faust was employed on the Hintz farm and had annoyed the young woman whom he killed with his at tentions. At about 9:30 o'clock in the morn ing he went to the school house where she was teaching and, according to the stories of the pupils, called her outside. He asked her to marry him. She refused. He pulled a revolver from his pock et and opened fire on the young worn an. Four shots wen fired, one of which lodged in the brain, killing her instantly. Miss Cora Hintz was a popular young woman and a successful teacher. Faust had been considered lrra- tional for some time and about five years sw?o attempted suicide on ac count of another love airair. FIND LEFT BABY Centinogd from T'ngf rnmt fleers to believe that the trip began here. Is Beautiful Child.

But the people who found it took no time to look and the offi cers did not reach the place for some time. If It is possible for a two-weeks-old baby to be beautiful this little lady is all of that. She is well developed, has chubby little cheeks, a rosebud mouth, black hair and blue eyes. Mrs. Lari mer is taking care of her. She is per fectly healthy, has a normal appetite and well developed vocal organa Suspendr Rock Island Rates. Washington, Sept. 20.

CONDEMNS SHIP YARD STRIKE AS AID TO U-BOATS "Blow at Vitals of the Nation," Says a Labor Leader. Arbitration Should Stand Be tween Country and Strikes. MEDIATOR IS OPTIMISTIC Gov't Representative at Frisco Believes End Is Near. Rumor Govt Abandons Flan for New Yards at 'Frisco. New Tork, Sept. 20. Strikes' which Interfere with America's production of ships are "a blow at the vitals of the nation," W. A. Holman, prime min ister of New South. Wales, declared today, in an interview with tne Unit ed PressL Holman labor chief of a labor ad ministration nrged closer co-operation between the workers and the gov ernment to prevent misunderstandings and said arbitration should stand be tween the country and Industrial trou bles which may lead to disaster. The New Sonth Wales premier is en route home, after a visit to the trenches. Premier a Laboring Man. As a labor man of lifelong stand- ins-" he said, on the eve of his depart ure for Washington, "I should be the last to deprecate labor s assertion of its rights, but labor should shrink from an alliance with the criminal designs of the kaiser by striking when arbitration machinery is avauaoie. Striking without first using that ma chinery must be strongly condemned. 'I know nothing of tne merits 01 the strike on the Pacific coast, and it 1 not within the province of a visitor like myself to attempt to Judge of those merits. But nothing could be more fatal, if protracted and embittered, than the shipbuild ing strike on your west coast. Ship ping is the prime necessity of the allies at the present moment. We of Australia and New Zealand, most distant of all the allies, deeply feel our dependence on ocean commerce in this crisis. We can only deplore any cessation of shipbuilding as of direct assistance to Germany s criminal submarine campaign. More Faith In Government, "I have had enough experience to know that in a large proportion of cases the workmen do not strike un til there has been large measures of exasperation. War times seem un fortunately prolific In Industrial mis understandings. The real need is tor a clear understanding by the govern ment of the workers, and for more confidence by the workers in the government." Premier Holman emphasized that he was speaking of the world ship ping situation, not specifically of that in the United States, with which he is unfamiliar. He laid stress on that fact that the allies are held to gether by shipping that the enemy has all the advantage of the cent-al location, where men and supplies may be quickly transferred by rail. "Workers should take their griev ances to the government before im periling nations by striking," he said. iflvery man ana every horse that America sends to the front will call for a fresh effort by the shipping yards. A dispute there is a blow at the vitals of the nation and the na tion's friends." STRIKE NEAR SETTLEMENT? Both Sides Feel That Way After Night's Conference at 'Frisco. San Francisco, Sept. 20. "I feel that we are near a settlement. Our progress during the night has been highly satisfactory and I am hopeful that an adjustment will be effected shortly." James I Ackerson, representative of the United States shipping board. made this statement today Just before the conference between representa tives of both sides in the strike which has tied up shipbuilding on San Fran cisco bay went into session for what is generally hoped will be the final meeting. His optimism in regards to the situation was openly shared by representatives of the employes. Hurley Abandons Trip. The announcement by Chairman Hurley of the federal shipping board, thut he had postponed his proposed hurry trip to San Francisco was in terpreted here as bearing out Acker son's statement. Ackerson announc ed that the government had offered to assume half of any wage increase granted by concerns making a profit of less than 10 per cent. Ackerson lao nroDOsed that the striking ship builders resume work immediately. the Mare Island navy yard wage scale to be in effect for them during the negotiations. While the negotiations were in progress, private dispatches from Washington stated that the govern ment had practically decided when the strike began to establish a new $10,000,000 shipbuilding plant on San Francisco bay, but had now abandoned the idea because of the Pacific coast labor troubles and would establish the yard in the east- arresTrioting sailors Rnss Government Has Men Who Murdered Naval Officers.

Suppressed Facts Reveal Ker ensky Was a Prisoner. BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. (Copyright, 1917. by the United Press) Stockholm, Sept. 20. At the mo ment when Korniloffs revolt was at its height, Russia's peace-at-any-price fanatics were In the saddle In Petro grad. Premier Kerensky was virtually a prisoner in the winter palace and armed mobs, delirious with' power, roamed the streets. This story of wild excesses, of grow ing power, and of Bolsheviki adher ents, and of Russia's perilous situation of last week, can now be told for the first time from this neutral port. A Bolsheviki censor was in control at Petrograd. When Korniloffs rebellion menaced Petrograd, Premier Kerensky, search ing for defenders, released and armed the Kronstadt sailors and workmen who last Jul. terrorized the city. He hoped to send these men against the rebels. Fanatics Held Revelry. They instantly assumed control of the city's streets. Great motor trucks loaded with terrorists of July roamed about the city unhampered. Kerensky, in the winter palace was to all intents and purposes, a prisoner. Outside his door, on the streets nearby and all thru the city, they rejoiced In the wildest excesses of joy. They sang and danced deliriously. All semblance of order in the city disappeared. That was on Friday. On the same night, the same type of Bolshevikf fanatics assumed control of the work men and soliders' council at Petro grad. They sought to impose a resolution for instant peace on what remained of the Russian governmental machin ery. They demanded Kerensky's re moval Immediately. They insisted that Tschernoff, the extreme radical, who was formerly minister of agriculture. be made premier. President Tscheidze. of the council, alone prevented such revolutionary ac tion. He counselled for adjustment. Three times on Friday Kerensky ar ranged new ministries. Thrice the Bolsheviki forces arrogantly rejected his selections. myrtle stedman is here Famous Screen Actress and Singer Will Appear in Person at Orpheum.

3 Up to mMmm s FROM BY'CLUQ HUTCHINSON WINS Salt Packers Take Pennant From the Jopiin Miners. Sanders Pitched Good Ball, but Was Outclassed. Hutchinson. Kan.. Sept. 20. Hutch inson and Des Moines will battle in the final series for the Western league championship. The biff fracas will be pln Saturday at Des Moines. Hutch inson won the Hunt to claim the pen nant for the second half of the season and to meet the Boosters, winners of the first lialf. by defeating the Jopiin club Wednesday here by the score of r 2 to 0. Not only did the ease with which Hutchinson took the three straight games of the play off show the super iority of the Salt 1'ackers over the Miners, but it also showed that Jack Holland has not lost all his cunning and that he is still able to take a bunch of young talent and mould it Into a good baseball machine. Sanders, who pitched for the Min ers again Wednesday, did his best to redeem himself and allowed only four scattered hits, but one of these was a home run in the first inning, and Wrtjiht. his opponent, did even better allowing the Miners just three safe blows and permitting only one player to get beyond first base. Both teams played errorless ball and the large fair crowd that witnessed the contest saw the most interesting game that has been played here since this city enter ed the league. After the home run by Kalk in the fif-t inning the only other score of the contest was made by Hutchinson in the fourth round at bat. McClelland drew a walk, stole second, was sacri ficed to third by Falk and scored on hay's single. The sCore: Jopiin. Limit), nx lirjill, :ll, Carlisle. If. Mela.

This Makes Them Favorites In the Big Classic. BY JACK VEIOCK. New York, Sept. 20. In sizing up the work of the White Sox and the Giants for. the season it appears that Clarence Rowland's team has the edge on its National League rivals. There is no doubt about the class of the Giants in their own league. They were universally selected as the pennant winners before the season opened, and they have made good, but the fact remains that they stand out as a particularly strong team among a poor lot, for the sevep. remaining National League clubs are notably weak in many respects and usually inconsistent. The Giants, incidentally, have :.3en overrated. At the outset of the National League race they were expected to walk away with the pennant. Many critics went so far as to predict that the race would be over by the mid dle of August. But mid-September found the McGraw men still striv ing to cinch the. flag. Sox Had Hard Road. In the American League condi tions are vastly different. No less than four clubs the four who make up the first division now were in the running fop- the pennant as late as August, 15, and in order to brush aside this' strong opposition Chicago had to play wonderful ball. Baseball experts who have been keeping a weather eye glued on both big leagues for the past five or six years are agreed that the American League is much the stronger, and records, not to mention the class of baseball displayed on the field, tend to prove this conclusively. So if the Giants are the best of a poor lot -in the -National League and the White Sox the best of a fast quar tette of pennant-contenders in the American, there is only one answer: Chicago has the call. Chicago is the logical favorite in the world's series. Many Things May Happen. Up to the time of the playing of the world's series this line of reason ing will do very "well. But in a short series of seven' games, such as the October classic, a hundred and one things may happen. The season's showing of the White Sox and Giants leaves the Sox with an edge. But are the Sox the best team in a short ser ies? Can the team which fought its ple and compact. No Strop ping, No Hon ing and new Blades can be had anywhere in France, Eng land, Russia and Italy. Set Boston, Mass., U. S. A. 71 St. Alexander Street, Montreal way consistently to the American League flag, stand off the aggressive, rough-and-ready fighters of the Clan McGraw? If superior fielding and pitching will swing the balance in favor of Chi cago, the White Sox will look mighty sweet. But when the' hitting strength of the two clubs is compared the Gi ants will not be found lacking in a short series, and the fan who tries to dope it out along these lines will find his wires crossing each other contin ually. The spirit of the players in the big series may count as heavily as any thing else, and the club which goes in with the greatest amount of confi dence may make that confidence the asset which will decide the battle. RED S0XCAN'T GAIN White Sox Lose and Still Forge to the Front. New York. Sept. 20. The Red Sox evidently are going to have it all over with the least pain possible. In spite of the fact that Connie Mack's Athletics took advantage oi the White Sox and whipped them, the Boston Sox could gain no headway. They dropped two to Detroit and made it possible for the White Sox to- move forward while going back ward. Five games will now put things In shape for the Comiskey clan to sweep out the dusty old safety deposit vault and make it ready for the first world s series money since 1906. Ten games are left on the White Sox schedule. If they win half of them they will finish the season with 100 victories. Fifteen victories, which would use up all the remaining Red Sox encounters, would give them only ninety-nine on the won side. The two Soxes are still billed for the same tough eggs they battled Wednesday. The Chicagoans remain in Philadelphia and the Tigers con tinue their skit at Fenway park. The Giants forgot Wednesday and lost one with. Slim Salee In the box against Jim Vaughn.

ZO.--From a group of candidates consisting of nine letter men and 14 others whose-abil ity to display the proper class has yet to be proved, Z. G. Clevenger, director of athletics and head Aggie coach, and Adolph "Germany" Schultz, assist ant coach, hope to mould a football team that will be a contender for championship honors in the Missouri valley. Coach Clevenger will make no pre dictions as it is too early to get a line on the strength of other conference teams. War conditions are responsi ble for taking away at least a certain amount of good material from each eleven. Eddie" Wells, star fullback -ast year, will be missed, but Har wood who has reported for practice and who tore through the line for long gains in the last game of the 1916 season, is expected to show up well. Ran dels Is Back. When "Stiff Randels all-Missouri valley end of last season and captain of the team, appeared on the field, local football stock soared. Other letter men who have returned are Whedon, Enlow, Slattery, Clarke, Leo Ptacek, Harwood and Sullivan.

"While it is too early to make any predictions," commented Coach Clev enger, "the back field is fully as fast but not as heavy as last year. The line is fair.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 20. Farmers and working men thruout the nation will join forces in self-defense against middlemen, speculators and commer cial interests, according to "President J. P. Coughlin of the Central Labor union, Brooklyn, N. Y. Addressing the national conference on the high cost of living here today, Coughlin hinted that thru the Far mers' Non-Partisan league, labor would unite with the farmer to gain their political and economic ends, foreshadowing possible formation of a vast political party to effect their joint program. "Labor on the farm has no quarrel with labor in the city. Their com mon enemies, the useless middleman, bankers, speculators and monopolists, have used one hand to rob the far mer and the other to rob the city worker. The two classes have been played against each other," Coughlin declared. "This conference is epoch-making because it plans to abolish the enemy which can exist only by keeping farm and city labor apart.' NEED SUB FOR LEATHER Prospect of Wooden Shoes Not Allur ing, but Leuther Is Scarce. St. Louis. Mo., Sept. 20. Owing to the soaring price of leather, St. Louis shoe manufacturers are substituting rubber and other makeshifts for leather. While a wooden shoe era seems to be looming in the future, St. Louis shoe dealers express every con fidence in American ingenuity to avert such a condition. W. H. Moulton, general superin tendent of the International Shoe company, says when an American wants something he goes after it and he expressed confidence that the leather situation would not prove to be an exception. "I don't think we shall be reduced to wearing wooden shoes," he said, "altho American ingenuity will have to get busy with this problem. We axe manufacturing a sole made on the principle of an automobile tire and I am confident we will find some sub stitute for the other part of the shoe." Manufacturers are working to find some substitute for leather which is more subtle and attractive. NEW STEEL SHELVING Improvements at Memorial Hall to Cost $25,000. Work of installing additional steel shelving in the State Memorial build ing, where the collections of the Kan sas State Historical society are kept, was begun this week. The shelving will cost $25,000, appropriation for the work being authorized by the 1917 legislature. One section of the new shelving will be constructed in the library annex on the third floor. A deck of shelving also will be placed in the newspaper section on the first floor. Steel stair ways will be constructed to connect the various decks in the book stack in gs. The contract for the work was let some time ago but work has been de layed because of the scarcity of steel. If the contract had been let at the present price of steel, the work would have cost the' state fully $50,000, ac cording to William E. Connelley, sec retary of the historical society.

American Veteran Promoted to Lieutenant and Wins Medals. BY J. W. PEGLER. Headquarters of the American j Army in France, Sept. 20. Old George Le Mesnager of Los Angeles, dropped in here tonight on his way to join the Sammies as interpreter. At 67, he I is a lieutenant in the French army, promoted from the ranks in which he I enlisted in August, 1914. He leaves: his active fighting service with a rec- ord of four citations for conspicuous bravery, the war cross, with Palms, i and the military medal. In addition j he wears the medal of the war of 1870. j It took long persuasion to make Lieutenant Mesnager talk about any- 1 thing else than the glories of Los An- j geles, but here is the story he told at last: j Saw Kaiser's Ambition Then. I "I saw the kaiser's ambition in j 1870, when I was only 19. I left San, Francisco and fought thru that war. i "I went back and settled in Los Angeles." In 1914, my 'Wife was vis-! iting our daughter at Catalina. It I was a good time for me to go while she was away, because it might have affected her heart for me to say sud- r denly that I was going to war again, i So I arranged with my younger daughter to break the news gently after I had left. When mamma did find out she felt badly, but she wrote me 'Papa, may be it's all for the best.' "The French port authorities were suspicious when I landed. They re marked pointedly that there was a recruiting station across the street, if I -was in earnest about fighting. I joined on the spot and two weeks later was at verdun in the first defense. How VS. S. Will Fight. "I've killed two Germans, that I positively know of. My comrades call me the American. They ask, will the Americans fight to the end "I reply: 'Comrades, the American flag will never go back until the Ger mans go back to Germany. I know the American boys I know they'll fight like devils.' CAN APPEAL TO GOV. Executive Can Order Local Boards to Re-hear Draft Case. i Washington, Sept. 20.

On such a showing governors of states to whom appeal may be taken are authorized to request local boards to reopen cases.- There is no appeal to the president, however, except where exemption has been sought on the ground of industrial employment and denied by the district board.

Pope Benedict is reported to have abandoned all hope of bringing about peace at present. He is said to have reached the conclusion tflat the war must be fought to a finish. The al lies have felt that way about It since the beginning; of .hostilities. Having failed to conclude a separate peace with Russia, Germany probably has attained a similar frame of mind. Since the whole world now seems to have reached the same conclusion, it Is apparent that there can be but one end to the strussle. Germany must and will be whipped. It is only a question of time. She is out of trumps and must play the game from now on with the lead in the hands of her op ponents. Her submarine campaign has failed as have her intrigues in Russia. She must voluntarily sue for peace the coming winter, or be forced to do so next summer when America and probably Russia also, will be in the field with large and well equipped armies. When a little Mexican boy was bit ten by a rattlesnake a few1 days ago, nays the Los Angeles Times, the great Schumann-Heink sucked the blood and venom from his wrist at the risk of her own life. Is the Times quite Burp that there was any risk? It has been reported and currently believed that the venom of the Jnake is harm less when taken into the mouth. But it Is a good Ktnry and it can hardly be said that the diva needs the adver tising. A German general has offered cash prize for the first American sol dier brought within the German line. If he 'will but be patient he will be able to see American soldiers in large numbers within the lines as at pres ent constituted. One of these days, says the Los An geles Times, all this tomfoolery of em ploying rascals to tempt the viciously Inclined and to put stumbling blocks In the way of those who would live decently will be done away with. The old saying that it takes a thief to catch a thief has too long placed a premium on vice and rascality and is largely responsible for thje corruption that exists today among the police force in every city of the nation. It Is said to be conducive to health to eat fruit with the skins on instead of peeling it. Does this suggestion in clude the banana and the pineapple? The National non-Partisan league in conference in St. Paul demands the elimination of all war profits and then asks a guarantee of $3 a bushel for wheat. Anybody can see the joke. All saloons within a half mile of the Union Iron works plant, in San Fran cisco, have been ordered closed, pend ing a settlement of the strike. The of ficials appear to figure that after a Visit to a saloon a striker would not be in condition to walk a half mile. There have been vocational schools, manual-training schools, and trade schools, but the Opportunity Public school of Denver, Col., says the Popu lar Science Monthly, differs from "all these. A man or woman, boy or girl, ean secure, day by day, instruction there that will nable the student to bold down a new Job. Or, one who has never been a student at the school may call upon it for instant help and. receive it as readily as one of the reg ularly enrolled pupils. All fnstruction is given by men and women who are successful in tl e shops and stores of the city. Foremen and forewomen give several hours a day or night to guide the raw youth or the middle aged misfit in a practical manner. Men and women over (SO years old are among the pupils. Twenty national ities are represented among the for eign students. The Opportunity school "hes automobile mechanics. Red Cross work, cooking, dietetics, jbed making and other domestic-science arts, salesmanship, hairdressing, mani curing, mechanical drafting, .millin ery, denial assistance, bookkeeping, stenography. and other practical, everyday occupations LANSING'S KXPLANATION'S. The state department undertook to elucidate the president's note to Pope Benedict, which is no new task to the state department, for it will be re membered that Mr. Lansing put forth an "explanation" of the president's appeal for peace last December. The president's language is more belliger ent now than It was then; but that offers no obstacles to the official in terpreter's at the state department. The president, we have been told, is not insistent that the Hohenzolierns and the Hapsburgs shall lose their membership in the autocrats' union. If the Germans and the Austrians con tinue to want Wilhelm and Charles to reign over them, their wishes will be respected. The president, it will be seen, has made some advance from the position he took in the spring of 1914, regard ing Huerta, but he has not changed his attitude since the Jackson Day speech at Indianapolis in January, 1915, when he declared that the peo ple of a country have the right to set up such a form of government as they may themselves determine. If therefore becomes difficult to see just how the president as Interpreted by the state department is going to carry out the plan wHich he has out lined to the pope of making peace only with a German government which shall be responsive to the as pirations of the German people. Those aspirations are today what they have been since soon after the present kai ser came to the throne and the doc trine of Pan-Germanism began, to be preached. There are few, if any, in dications that the course of the im perial government has met any large resistance, even in an intellectual sense, among the German electorate. The various parties In the reichstag have been much more firm and united In support of Kaiser Wilhelm than the Democrats In our congress have been iji support of President Wilson. v But before peace comes there will be plenty of time for more notes and for more Interpretations. And maybe, when that time comes, 'there will be new note-writers and new inter preters. Australia has Issued a proclamation prohibiting importation of apples with out written consent of the govern ment. Undoubtedly some regulation of shipping In order to conserve ship space is necessary, but if this order means that Australia regards apples as pure luxuries, a mistake has been made. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," is Just as true in war time as in peace. And there is nothing to excel the American apple. CHANGES WROUGHT BY WAR. "The United States has come out of the trenches of neutrality and gone 'over the to,p in business and finance, as well as in active war," de clared Francis H. Slsson, vice pres ident of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, in an address entitled 'Over the Top' in Finance and Busi ness," delivered at the twenty-seventh annual convention of the Illinois Bankers association, held in Quincy, 111. National co-operation, on a scale psuch as we have never before known. was the keynote of Mr. Sisson's speech. He sounded the call to "move on as one people, in unity of feeling and community of Interest, to our great common task." He pointed to the ideal of national unity exemplified by the closer relation existing today between the government and business, and their great interdependence as the most progressive step in "our ex cursion over the top."' "Aa we march, across the 'no man's land" of preparation, before we plunge into the enemy's trenches, we may pos sibly be better guided if we pause a moment to view our position and get our bearings for the next charge," Mr. Slsson suggested. "In many Instances the war has shown us how far afield from sound economics some of our governmental policies have led us." he continued. "For years we have energetically tried by legislation to prevent co-operation in business. Restrictive state and fed eral laws in bewildering variety have sought to compel an uneconomic con dition which the necessities of war re veal In its true light, and every effort of our authorities is now being made to establish, with law or without it, a sound, economic state of co-operation for which the leaders in business and finance have for years pleaded in vain. "Our railroads, under the paternal aegis of the government are demon strating in marked degree the effi ciency of combination in transporta tion. With only a 3 increase in equipment, they have shown a 26 increase in transportation service, simply thru being permitted, by agree ing among themselves, to operate 4heir properties on a national Instead of on a sectional or local basis. Here Is a vision of what we may hope for when the railroads may be permanently freed from the thousands of petty cords of local interest which have bound this modern Gulliver, and the instruments of Interstate commerce ke permitted to serve 'the needs of Interstate commerce under the direc tion of the federal body .which repre sents us all. "Only yesterday the word 'pooling" was anathema; today we are pooling food and fuel and ore and oil and transportation, and glorying in the ef ficiencies and economies effected thereby. Restrictive laws and regula tions are ignored, and under the sanc tion of government, private business is not only permitted but urged to lend its efforts toward effective com binations in the public interest." WAR AND HEALTH; THIS TOPEKA STATE JOTBXAl INFORMATION BCREAC Sy Frederic J. Hnakin. Director, Waebinstun. I. C. H. The Draft and the American Physique Washington, Sept. 20. One of the most effective measure for improving American health that could be taken is the physical examination of several million young men for military service. Hundreds of thousands of these young Americana who had never given their health much tnougnt nave sua denly awakened to the realization that they are not fit to fight. Whether or not you want to be a soldier, it is unpleasant to learn that you are not physical man enough to be one. Atr over the country, particularly in our large American cities, It is the testimony of the physicians who ex amined the men in .the selective draft, that the great majority found unfit for service were very much surprised to learn that anything was the matter with them. Many perhaps the ma jority of these rejected men earnestly inquired or the exemption Doaro ex perts what to do for themselves. They were advised to consult a physician. Benefits of the Examinations. As a result of the examination by the army doctors and their rejection as unfit for military service, hundreds of thousands of young men thruout the United States have already begun to form new habits and take new pre cautions for the sake of bringing bacK their health. Up to quite recently, according to statistics compiled by one medical authority, there are more than two million American homes in which there was at least one invalid. Undoubtedly a large proportion of these cases have resulted from ignor ance. The awakening due to the ex amining tests of the army doctors in making up the selective draft will no doubt have a very salutary effect on the national health, an effect almost beyond calculation. Several New York and Chicago phy sicians are reported as claiming that the benefits derived from the army examinations will be felt even in the small cornersof our country. One of the New York medical men reported that the percentage of physically un fit men in the American metropolis that came" under his observation was near 30. That is to say, nearly one third of the young men examined were unfit for military duty. Many Shortcomings Quickly Cured. Of course the first standard set was a very high one and many a man was kept out of the army on merely technical shortcomings such as be ing slightly over or under weight. In .either of these cases the wholesome well regulated life in camp would soon correct the defect. Many other shortcomings could be quickly cured if taken in time. One ailment which appeared with amazing frequency during the daily examinations was "flat foot," mean ing fallen arch. Other frequent de fects were varicose veins and hernia. Both these latter can be cured perma nently by a comparatively slight oper ation. Altho it is true as the great Na poleon put it "that an army moves on its belly" it is nevertheless equally as true that it actually covers dis tances on its feet. The fallen arch is probably due almost entirely to im proper care of the feet probably to wrong habits of walking. Uncle Sam does not want to depend for his na tional salvation on men who have any thing the matter with their feet. There are "foot doctors," somewhat learned ly known as chiropodists, who can us ually set right the ordinary foot ail ment. Very few cases surprisingly few of cancer and tuberculosis, or any other of the more serious diseases have been reported by the medical ex aminers, at least so far as is known at army headquarters. Many bad cases of defective teeth and eyesight are curable, and a word from the physician would put the young man right on these scores, as to future care. Results From the Examinations. Opinions of other individual medi cal examiners from' various other parts of the country at least as indi cated in newspaper reports confirm these general deductions. However, it will probably not be until the full and complete report of the various boards is made up that it will be pos sible to make scientifically accurate inferences for the country at large. A great deal of latitude was per mitted the examiners. The army reg ulation governing physical examina tions says on this point: "Any of the physical deficiencies mentioned above must be present in such degree as to clearly and unmis takably disqualify the man for mili tary service Before he can be found to be physically deficient and not physically qualified for military serv ice." Certain interesting points -were brought out by the tests in the Dis trict of Columbia. Altho there was wide diversity of opinion among the examining physicians as to the mean ing of the results of these tests, it was the general testimony that a very large proportion of the rejections in the District were due to underweight binder even the variation permitted by the regulations. The fact that this decided underweight defect character ized the young men of the District was emphasized by the confirming fact tnat otner young men irom other sec tions, who had their cases transferred for final settlement to Washington, did ot show such underweight. The explanation Tvhich seems most rea sonable is that the vast majority of young men in the .District of Colum bia lead a sedentary life. They are clerks, and, generally speaking, do not take enough exercise. The lesson they will get from the examination is to move about more in the open air and improve their muscles. Few Would Hare Asked for Test. But few of the-young men who were examined and found physically defec tive would ever have at,ked for a test as to their health. Now they' have received from Uncle Sam, without cost to them, services of surgeons, physi cians and other health specialists of inestimable value to them. Suppose that peace should come to morrow! Suppose that, by far the greater number of the young men be tween 21 and 31 thruout our country, .never get any farther than the ex amining surgeon's office or at most the training camp. Even in that event the building up of an American army of millions of our youth will have been a great benefit to the country at large, perhaps a greater blessing to those who were rejected than to those who passed and marched off to camp as the fortunately chosen ones. The na tion's manhood, at its usually heedless age, will have been literally compelled to take thought of its health.

In double rank, are ar ranged in line or in column with nor mal intervals and distances." Ex tended order, on the other hand, -is "the formation in which the units are separated by intervals greater than in close order. The diagram below shows at a glance what Is meant. The stars rep resent a small body of men in double rank arranged in close order.

The space between men standing side bv side in rank is called the "in terval." In the American army the standard interval is 4 Inches, meas ured from the" elbow of one man to the elbow of the man next to him. This gives room enough for free movement and the proper handling of arms and equipment during drill. The space between a man in the front rank and a man directly behind him in the rear rank is called "distance." The standard distance is 40 inches, measured from the back of the man in front to the breast of the man in the rear. In practice intervals and distances are, of course, not measured exactly. A well-trained soldier, how ever, soo'n learns to gauge them with sufficient accuracy and almost uncon sciously keepshrmself properly placed in relation to the men about him. It is essential that eveny man should learn to do this in order to maintain a reasonable degree of uniformity. (Tomorrow's article treats on' fight ing formations.) SWE TALES BY RUTH CAMERON. "This Once." Once upon a time I ran across a magazine article in which readers were asked to send in what they con sidered the most terrible word m the English language. "Blood." "Death," "Alone," "For ever," were some of the words that were submitted, by the largest num ber. If some one would run a contest asking for the word that has done the most harm, and would admit phrases as well as single words, I would have a contribution ready to submit. It would be "This Once." "Mayn't I stay up later this once?" "Mayn't I skip my practising this' once?" So the ohild teases until one comes to hate the sound of "This Once." But it was not so much of the child's use of the phrase that I was thinking, as of the grown-up's. Children say "this once." Grown ups think it. Children use it to tease with. Grown-ups use it to excuse themselves to themselves for doing something wrong or foolish or ineffi cient For instance. You have your teeth all cleaned for the night. Some one prevails on you to take a bite of an apple or a sweetmeat. You know you ought to clean your teeth again but you say to yourself, "This once it won't hurt me." Or you discover at night that vou haven't been outdoors all day. You know you ought to have some exer cise and you consider the thought of a walk, but it would mean changing your shoes, and you'd really rather sit by the fire and read that tempting new magazine and so you say to your self. "Well, I guess it won't do any harm if I do go without exercise this once." Or you hear some enticing bit of gossip and are tempted to repeat it. It is against your principles but Sou know the person to whom you are talking would be so interested and ex cited over it. "This once" you say to yourself subconsciously perhaps arid open your lips and let out the words that no power on earth can bring back again. "This once" is a screen that we put between ourselves and the truth .Next time you catch yourself saying "This once" (or words to tHQ ppush the screen aside and look the uuiu iti iiie lace.

So le would classify tobacco as a luxury, but the man who tries to quit is apt to regard it as a necessity. If you meet with a political misfor tune 1t is,, very easy for you to imagine that the form of government should be changed. If a stranger with something to sell proclaims that a town is dead, that is proof that the stranger is a grafter and the "dead tdwn" didn't fall for his game. If a man happens to have a good voice someone will say that he should have become a preacher. Is a loud mouth all a preacher needs? Verily, we think not. Look around at the unhappy men and women you know, and then see if it does not dawn npon you that it is not the bad women who wreck men's lives: it is those who belong to the class known as good women. 1 I BY DOROTHY DIX m World's Htsfaeat raid Woman Writer f-ijijjrujjjr n r jn-rLrvrxvx- tij ixj-ii-iririiuiri iyiii"a' The Hypnotism of love. A man has just been sent to the penitentiary to serve a stiff term be cause he advertised that he would teach people how to hypnotize the ob jects of their affections, so that they micht win whomsoever they desired as mates or bring back any recreant lover to the fold. m The government held that this was a fraudulent advertisement made with intent to deceive, and calculated to separate the lovelorn from their coin without giving them even a run for their money. Perhaps so. Perhaps no other hu man being can teach a man or womin how to weave potent and compelling spells about the desired one, but, as a mattei of fact, what is love except hypnotism? Only the curious part of it is that in love we do not hypnotize the party of the other part. We are victims of self hypnotism. None of us falls in love with an other for what the individual really is. We are enamoured of what we' imagine him or her to be. Every youth and maiden who is in love will deny this. Edwin will tell you that he has made the most minute study of Angelina's character, and that the reason he thinks that she is an angel is because he has seen her wings that he knows her to be a par agon of virtue, a model of amiability, a, pattern of domesticity and alto gether perfect. Angelina will assure you that it is impossible that she could be deceived in Edwin because she knows from her own observation1 that he is the wis est, bravest, strongest, noblest, most generous man in the world. If you should tell Edwin, as we who are Edwin's mothers' and sisters and female cousins sometimes are rash enough to do, that Angelina is an exceedingly commonplace young woman, with a raspy temper and a predilection for coming down to breakfast in a slouchy wrapper and curl papers, and that she is accus tomed to lie on a lounge and eat chocolate creams and read novels while her mother does -the house work, he would not believe one word of it and would set it down to ma licious envy ajid spite. Nor could Angelina be induced to give credit to the statement that her Edwin's employer and fellow clerks regard him as a mere ordinary youth who is considerable of a bore, and who will never rise above being a floor walker in a dry goods store, and that among themselves they laugh at him for being a "tin horn" sport. Now Edwin has not consciously tried to deceive Angelina or to make her think that he is something that heis not. He has not purposely posed before her as a hero of ro mance and assumed qualities that he did not possess in order to win her young affections. Neither is Angelina a deep, design ing adventuress who has affected charms that do not belon to her by right, to win Edwin's heart. The deception is from within, not from without. The man and woman fool themselves, not each other. It is said that Cuvier, the gfeat naturalist-., could construct a whole animal and tell you of its life and habits from a single piece of bone, but his skill was as nothing compared to that of a lover. Edwin sees that Angelina has a pink and white -complexion and a golden curl on her forehead and from them he builds up an ideal domestic character possessing whatever femi nine graces and charms he most ad mires. Angelina observes that Edwin has broad shoulders and a drooping mous tache and from these she knows that he will make a sober, faithful, indus trious husband and father. The value of this kind of scientific reasoning in love is that just so long as you believe it to be true it is just as good as the truth. Just so long as Edwin thinks, Angelina the most beau tiful woman in the world, she is, so far as he is concerned, a Venus, no matter if she has carroty hair and a snub nose and a featherbed figure. So long as Angelina hangs with awe on every word that Edwin utters and so long as she sees in him a romantic figure, an oracle and a hero, she can go on- worshipping him as the one perfect man and congratulating her self upon her luck in getting him. There are in life certain fine pleas ures that we can only enjoy thru our imaginations and by becoming party to a sort of deception. Strip the il lusions from these and the beauty and the delight of them is gone. Analyze it and the finest picture becomes a daub of paint; the best play is noth ing but men and women mouthing among canvas trees and houses; the gold of a lily becomes mere insect breeding pollen. Love is like this. Tear from it the halo of romance; take self deception away from it, and the thing that is left is so poor, so mean and tawdry, so marred by faults and blemishes that we wonder that it could have attracted our fancy. This is why married people should never let themselves discuss the faults and idiosyncrasies of their husbands and wives with anyone, or even permit themselves to indulge in the fascinat ing amusements ot vivisecting the characters and appearance of the part ners of their bosoms. The minute Mr. Smith begins to question in his own mind whether his Maria's nose is really straight or a little iop sided, and j.o wonder if her artless conversation is the naivete of extreme youth or merely the lack of brains, that minute Mr. Smith begins to come" out from under the trance of love into which he has put himself, and his salvation lies in his making another pass or two before his eyes and sinking back again into a state of romantic dreams- And if this is true of men it is doubly true of women. A woman's happiness depends upon her reciting over and over the litany of her hus band's perfections'; as Hindus do the name of a god, until she becomes self hynotized by the process. Let a wo man once begin canvassing her hus band's weaknesses with her dearest friend and Cupid beats, 4t. He can't stand the revelations. Inasmuch as love depends upon' illusion and delusion and the ability of a man to think some perfectly ordi nary woman an angel, or of a woman to esteem some commonplace man a SirOallahad, it follows that it is noth ing short of a crime to wake lovers up and open their eyes to what their beloveds really are. This is a form of cruelty which is the favorite indoor sport of most families, and when one hears mothers criticizing their daughters-in-law to their sons, and their sons-in-law to their daughters, one wonders that they never realize that they are ruining their children's hap piness by breaking the spell that binds them and making them see those to whom they are tied for life stripped of all the pink chiffon of romance which had made them beautiful and desira ble. And still more curious is it that married people do not walk softly in the domestic life for fear of waking up their husbands and wives. For well they know that all marital happi ness depends upon a man or woman being mesmerized. None of us have enough admirable qualities to inspire a deathless devotion on our account. It is only our husbands' or wives' abil ity to hypnotize themselves that en ables us to get away with it. (Copyright. 1817, by the Wheeler Syndic ta.

Bur-r-r! sang the trees. You'd better put your jacket on, I think you'll feel a breeze! That's just what Sleepkins, the bat, thought as he sat ,in his hollow in the old tree and listened, in the glooVning, to the blowing of the winds and the shivering of the trees. He thought he'd better get on all his clothes and be ready for the winter that was coming, coming, coming, nearer and nearer all the time. But Sleepkins didn't wear really truly clothes, dear me no! He sometimes wished he did for then getting ready for winter would have been so easy. He could just have gone down to the store and ordered, one good warm overcoat, one pair of fur lined boots, one fur cap and a pair of mittens and he would have beth ready for anything. Instead of that, he had to put his winter clothes on underneath his coat. For his winter suit was fat. Isn't that funny? Layers and lay ers and layers of fat which Sleepkins had to make by eating more than he wanted and which, would keep him warm thru his long winter's sleep. Sleepkins hadn't waited for the winds to tell him that winter was coming. No sir! He began to make ready in the early fall. But now that he was quite fat, and very sleepy, he did so want to stop that everlasting eatyig and go to sleep. But-he was afraid he wasn't fat enough to last the winter thru; and not to be fat enough was disastrous very. So he called to his friend Billy Raccoon, "Hi, there Billy Raccoon! Is it going to be acold witer Do I need to be very fat?" But Billy only answered, "Suit yourself! You know best." He called to his friend Redhead the -woodpecker, "Hi there, Redhead! Is it going to be a cold winter? Do I need to be very fat?" But now that he was quite fat, and very sleepy. "Ask the breezes," answered Red head," how should I know?" "Hi, there! Breezes!" called Sleep kins as he heard them blowing -by his hollow tree, "is it going to be a cold winter? Do I need to be very fat." "How should we know Mkughed the breezes, "better be ready for any thing!" "That's good advice," thought Sleep kins. He flew out and got one more meal: but he. found himself so fat that he couldn't fly any more; so he hid in his warm, snug hollow and went sound asleep. That's- his idea of win ter fun! DINNER STORIES Lou Hymera, who travels thru the southern states for Gage Brothers Co., milliners, tells the following: "One day there came to a New Or leans clinic a negress with a broken jaw. The examining physician, intent on discovering the exact nature and extent or tne injury, askea numerous questions. To all of them the negress returned evasive answers. Finally sne admitted that she was 'hit by a ob ject.' 'Was it a large object or a small object?' asked the physician. 'Tolle'by large. 'Was it coming Rapidly or slow ly?' 'Tolle'by fast. "Then, her patience exhausted, the negress turned to the doctor. 'To tell de truth, doc, I was jes' simply kik in de face by a genaman friend. "Now," said the doctor to the young married man, "if you will take this medicine you will sleep like a baby." The patient surveyed the prescrip tion doubtfully. "Well, doctor," he answered, "if you mean like our baby, I guess I won't take it." ON SPIIM thfe MOMENT BT MOXRIS MILXJKR. wffli 4 1 i n ft PT)meTaleffi Is EVEMNG STOET i The Little Jade Frog. (ByNsabel Frost.) Diggs had not noticed it at first. altho he stood nearer jto it than any one eise in tne room, tie was so in terested in re ne wins: his acauaintance with Leonie Verney that all inanimate objects escaped his ken. tie nad only seen her once before at Haskell's studio, around Christmas time. But she was a girl then. Slen- aer, corset lees, with a graceful, curv ing body, she had the lines of the Blessed Damosel: but instead of the latter's languorous, dreamy face. Le- onie's was vivid and alert with anima- tion. She loved to dress in dull green, greens like the deep tones in jade, with curiously wrought metal girdles set in uncut gems. i As a rule, Diggs avoided, instinctive- j ly, the bizarre in life. He had been brought up in a suburb of Boston, he came of good old n on -con for mist stock, and he was absolutely immune to the effects of Bohemia's far-east incense or erotic love ideals. But Has kell had told him briefly of Miss Ver ney's career, and it had interested him immensely. ''Her father was a Chinese mission ary at Hangkow. He was killed dur ing the Boxer rising. Leonie was disguised as a Chinese child by her Christian nurse anfa hidden away in an old temple inhe interior until the trouble was over. It was not until two years ago that she came to Amer ica. Her girlhood was passed in the Orient, altho of late years she has been with her own people in the American colony. She's a mighty queer little girl, but very interesting. Not at all your fluffy blonde type, Diggs, so you re safe with her. Diggs believed that also. The spurious forms of attraction had al ways roused him to a sbrt of happy frenzy, while with Lreonie he felt only a curious, innate restfulness and con tentment, as tho the peace of the ages enfolded him. He was telling her now of the new Roman seats which he had just sent out to his garden at Greenwich, when suddenly he caught her looking past him Intently at something on the man telpiece. Glancing around, he saw the little jade frog. It was about two inches and a half long, and quite as wide, a puffy, arrogant frog, utterly unnatural and grotesque; its eyes were brilliant crystals and in its mouth it held a small crystal ball. It stood on a pedestal of three jade pediments, each smaller than the last, and en graved on the four sides of each were Chinese characters. "What is it?" he asked, seeing that the girl really looked pale. "I don't know exactly," she an- swered in a low voice. "It is all too strange and horrible. I wonder whom that frog belongs to." "I'll ask Haskell,' he said. Haskell shook his head doubtfully when Diggs found him. "You've got me, old man. I sub-let these rooms when I got back from France, and that thing was here. It's Chinese, isn't it? There are some wonderful embroideries in that pearl inlaid cabinet in the ctu-ner. They probably all belong to Doctor Yoy, the former tenant. "What do you know about him?" asked Diggs. "Nothing, except that he has gone back to China for a short time. Very decent chap, for a Chink, a university fellow and specialist in therapeutics. Why?" "I'll tell "you later," answered Diggs, lightly. "Find out all you can about him meantime.' He carried the information he had gleaned back to Leonie. She said lit tle, but asked him to call a taxi for her, as she,was leaving early. "I can't explain tonight," she said, as they parted. "Come tomorrow at II and I'll tell you all I know." The morning mail brought-a brief letter from Haskell. "Wire from Dr. Yoy announces ar rival in Frisco Monday. He requests me to place the little Jade frog in a safety deposit vault without telling anyone. Thought I'd let you know." Diggs called him up on the tele phone, asking him to wait until a copy of the inscription could be se cured; then he got in touch over the wire with a certain civil engineer friend and college classmate who had spent some time in China. Wallace was perfectly Willing to help him out, and though it made him a little late for his appointment with Leonie, .he took the time to carry the frog down to Wallace's office. After about an hour's study the latter gave him the translation. It ran: "Whoso seeketh vengeance on his enemies shall ask the crystal ball for aid. Spirit of the sacred Hu Fwa, gra ciously list to the curses upon the for eign devils." He carried the news to Leonie at once. She leaned forward eagerly, her hands tightly clasped. "Oh, I was sure of it, last night," she said. "Mr. Diggs, you must help me. 1 know this doctor. He was a false friend of my father's. It was he who bore witness against him and betrayed him into the hands of the Boxers. He has had me watched ever since I left China, but I never dream ed that the Jade frog was in his pos session." "Why, you're not superstitious, are you "I don't think so,' she answered. "It was" given to me by my nurse, who found it in the old temple where X was hidden. I used to play with it when I was a little girL Lao San is dead, I am sure. When I came away, I left this in an old chest of my father's private papers and books at Hangkow, and now I find it here on a mantelpiece in New York. What do you think it all means?' "Supersititlon, mostly laughed Piggs, "but if you don't mind I rath- i er think you need some one to look i after you until we see what Dr. I Yoy is up to. I'll return the frog and let Haskell put it In the vault." i He took it out of his pocket and set it on the table in front of them, i Leonie leaned forward and looked at the little crystal boll intently. When j he reached for it, her hand was un- 1 steady, and it fell from her clasp to the floor with a crash. She gave a sharp cry of alarm, and knelt down among the fragments. But Diggs was before her. The fall had loosened a 1 secret spring in the pedestal. Inside its hollow there lay a folded sheet of rice paper with a hand-painted dia gram on it, and small vertical lines of Chinese characters. "I think the sacred Hu Fwa has given up his secret," said Diggs. "Let's call a taxi and run down to Wallace "No, no, I can read it myself," ex claimed Leonie, bending excitedly over the paper. After a moment she lifted her face. "Oh, this is too good to be true," she cried. "It tells how the treasures of the murdered Christians for hundreds of years past have been buried in the tombs under the temple. No wonder Dr. Yoy wanted- the buried treasure to further the plans of the revolutionists." j "But how did it come In his posses sion tl.SK.f-U JUMK&B (JUICRIY. A faraway look came in her eyes.

I can never thank you enough for helping me. If it hadn t been for you I would never have found it out. Just think what It meana to me to be able to turn this treasure over, in my father's name, to the cause that he died for.' Diggs felt the last remnant of his New England caution swept away, as he looked at her radiant, upturned face. "Can you guess, what this means to me?" he asked, huskily.

"Well, we had an awful time de ciding where to go We do every year.

Everyday i; Ernest Tucker, one of the best and most widely known news writers in Topeka. will go to Kansas City next week, where he will become a member of the local staff of the Kansas City Star. Tucker has been a member of the State Journal staff for the last twenty-two months. During the last twelve or fourteen years Tucker has been identified with newspaper work in Tope"ka-' He was for a number of years a state house and political reporter and holds the acquaintance and friendship of prac tically every man in public life In the state. Four years ago Tucker es tablished the Shawnee Chief, a North Topeka publication. In 1916 he sold the paper and became a member of the State Journal staff. For nearly two years he 'covered" the court run. one of the most important news beats in Topeka. Last winter Tucker was transterred from the courts to the state senate, where he wrote upper nouse news during the legislative ses sion, v Is Versatile Writer. Tucker Js recognized as one of the most able, and versatile newspaper men produced in Topeka in years. He is a practical newspaper man in every sense of the word. His education was largely in the print shop and the local room of a newspaper office. He learned the newspaper game from the cases up and he learned well. In Topeka he has covered practically every run in town. He has written the big stories of inside coups in political convention. the proceedings in sensational murder cases, the do ings at the city hall, convention news and in his years in the game probably escaped only the society editor's desk. One of Tucker's biggest stories on the State Journal, was the Fred Bis sell case. For two weeks Tucker ate his meals and took his cat naps while on the sensational story of the Edna Dinsmore assault and murder. From his typewriter came the first news of every detail of the development in the case that aroused the city and state. NO PEACE REPLY YET Germany Hasn't Sent Hers as Re ported Britain Seeks Data. Rome, Sept. 20. Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of state tonight de clared to the Associated Press that Che reply of the central powers to the pope's peace proposals had not yet been received at the Vatican. This is taken to prove that the statement re cently published to the effect that the reply bad left Berlin on Saturday is untrue, as otherwise even admitting a delav of one day in Switzerland, the document should have arrived in Rome Tuesday night or this morning. Cardinal Gasparri believes that the re ply of the central powers was held up when Emperor William went to RigT and that it is not likely that it will reach the Vatican until next week. The reply of the entente allies to the pope's peace proposals must neces sarily arrive after that of the central, powers, because Great Britain, before the compilation of the entente npte. asked for some information of the Vat ican until next week. The reply of the entente allies to the pope's peace proposals-must neces sarily arrive after that of the central powers, because Great Britain, before the compilation of the entente note, asked for some information of the, Vatican which in turn applied for it to the central powers, which notified th Holy See that the explanation asked ixji wuiuu pe coniainea in tneir own. n replv to the tin tin t nnt. rtn th.. 9 planations therefore the answer of the entente allies or at least that of Great Britain will depend. MEDICS ENJOyTeED Field Artillery Detachment Enter tained at Boys' Industrial School. Maj. C. W. Jones entertained tl members of the Medical Detachment of the Kansas field artillery and the officers of battery at dinner Wednes day noon at the Boy's Industrial school. The men had one hilarious time. They made a high speed jour ney to the school, north of Hown, in the Battery A truck. On the return journey the detachment was feeling so joyful that it made a brief stop over at Soldier creek to duck one of the members in the water. The vic tim resisted so strenuously that be fore the process was complete three or four other Medics were pretty well soaked. The small "milita-ry" mustaches of Claude Akers and Harry Kline had been wearing on the nerves of the company for some time. When the truck arrived at lower Kansas avenue the bovs escorted the two unfortu nates intb a convenient barber shop and had the hirsute adornments re moved. The operation took place op posite the establishment of Samuel Lux. Lux produced his largest bunch of bananas and turned it over to the boys. From the Lux mercantile es tablishment to the fair grounds, the most amateurish sleuth could have trailed the truck by the banana peels on the pavement. The Medical detachment is a live bunch. A patriotic entertainment is being planned for the near future to start a company fund. The Military Sisterhood is behind the idea, and To pekans are warned to follow a policy of preparedness and get ready to come across.

(Miss Hoyt will' answer in this col umn all questions on matters of eti quette addressed to her irr care of this paper. If a personal answer is de sired enclose a two-cent stamp.) PERCY V.: Your question is one which I often have to answer- As it is considered bad form for a man to wear his hat anywhere above the of fice floor in an apartment building or hotel, he should always remove it when entering the elevator in such a building. On the other hand, since a man may wear his hat almost any where in an office building, and since an elevator is regarded not as a small room, but rather as a hall or stair-1 way, he need not remove his hat if he would replace it on leaving the lift. However, this is largely a matter of choice; and a gentleman often prefers to take his hat off in any elevator where there are 'ladies, especially if the passengers are few. MARJORIES: People who are ac customed to using a typewriter 'find writing with a, pen a slow and incon venient process. Still the fact remains that it is much more polite to write social letters in this manner than to type them. The typed letter should be used for business only. Bishop Williams of Ietroit says: "The world has suffered as much from blunder ing reformers as from intentional -knaves. Short-haired women and long-haired men who are always trying to bring about a moral reconstruction should learn that do ing good demands intelligence for its proper guidance." TO RELIEVE CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES If you have Catarrhal IVafness or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmiut t double strength), and add to it Vi pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar. Take 1 tablesinxmf ul four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It isfeasy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Any one who has Catarrhal I deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. --Advertisement. .OO Until Oct 10 y Puts an Eden Electric Washing and Wringing Machine in Your JJoiIlC Balance in Easy Payments The Eden Electric Washing and Wringing Machine is a mechanical laundress which fills all the requirements, and has none of the 'drawbacks of the average laundress.

If you could not collect abnormal profits in normal times, you should not take ad vantage of the necessities of your country in this time of crisis." Feeling Justified. Labor has been restless, Wilson said, because, word has gone forth that the Iron and steel manufacturers are making 200 to 400 per cent profit, and that shipping, mining and -men of other 'Industries are making enor mous profits. "This feeling has been Justified." Wilson continued. "My investigation of the coal industry in the eastern states proved it in one of many In stances, because we found producers were extorting a five aryd six dollar margin on coal.

Axel Palmgren Tells of Little Nation's Troubles. PEOPLE DESIRE NEUTRALITY 90 Per Cent Would Never Will ingly Enter the War. Nation Has Less Bread Than Germany Now. Painting a vivid picture -of demoral ized conditions in Sweden and the tick lish situation the country finds her self facing in the mighty war drama. Axel Palmgren, staff correspondent of the Stockholm Dagblad and lecturer with the pictures, "Sweden Today" at the Grand, today declared that there is less bread in Sweden than in Ger many and asserted that it would have been impossible for Sweden as a na tion to have been back of .the part Swedish diplomatic officers played in the recent German note incident. ."The Germans have simply put one over on Sweden," Palmgren said. Then the newspaper man cited rea sons why Sweden will never go to war with Germany despite the fact that the 'nation as a whole is pro-ally. He declared that if Sweden should declare war on Germany the former's situation would be that of Belgium's. Could Destroy Stockholm. "The Germans," he declared, "could destroy Stockholm and over run the country with little effort. They could use their fleet, without opposition, to raze the coast and the large cities thereon." He asserted that ninety per cent of the Swedish people want peace. "They want it so bad." he said, "that they do not care much who 'wins. They won't get into the war them selves because they have seen too much of its h&rrors." The Swedish writer spoke of eco nomic and public! conditions. "Coal in Sweden today," he said, "is selling at $60 a ton. Germany is sending Sweden coal in exchange for' means and other foodstuffs. No grain has been shipped into Germany because, for one thing, Sweden does not have it to ship. Senator Lodge's charge in the sen ate that Sweden is shipping cotton rh V "Yi f,"f.BI:".? is untrue. Embargo Hurts Russia. 'No, Sweden is not in accord' with the United States embarero on food stuffs to neutrals. This embargo will. by the way hurt Russia, one of Amer ica's allies, worse than it will hurt Sweden. Altho the feeling between Sweden and Russia has never been friendly, Sweden is now sending large quantities of supplies to Russia. The embargo will make this export im possible on Sweden's part because she will have to keep it for herself. JCes, we have lost lots of ships thru Germany's sea warfare, but we must have bread!" The Swedish newspaper man switched back to the German note exposure. "Former Foreign Minister Wallen burg, who resigned April 1, was con sidered pro-ally and he owns banks in Paris and London," he said, "and this note exchange happened while he was In office so, you are, pro-Germanism could hardly be charged up against the Swedish nation."

READTTO JOIN French Premier AdTOcates Wil son'g League of Nations, Socialists Still Balky and Dis- j rupt France's Cabinet. j Paris, Sept. 19. Premier Painleve replying today in the chamber of deputies to interpellations by Deputy Frederic Brunet, who asked the gov ernment to associate itself with Presi dent Wilson's refusal to treat with the German people so long as they were submissive to the military caste, and advocating an institution of society of nations said that he had made every effort to preserve collaboration with the Socialists. "I failed and I regret "It," the pre mier said. The premier said that absence of Socialist ministers would make no change in his policy. He declared his determination to proceed energetically against all intrigues and certaian for eign agents but added that he did not Intend to allow these scandals too much publicity in the press because they were picked up abroad and weakened the country's morale. Thij part of the premier's speech was'in-' terrupted, especially by the Left, as were his declarations that the censor ship was necessary and ought to be respected. The government he said, hoped to remain in agreement with the press by appealing to the newspa pers to maintain their own discipline. Applaud Reference to Wilson. The chamber applauded -the pre mier's allusions to the society of na tions and President Wilson's message as principles to which France fully adhered thereby showing her abnega tion and moral grandeur. Alexandre Ribot, minister of for- i eln affairs, told the chamber that all documents concerning France's agree ments with the allies were ready and could be published tomorrow, but that the entente allied nations must be consulted, saying "the nearer we reach the end of the war the closer must be our unity with them." M. Ribot added that France could not reply to Pope Benedict's note without an agreement with her allies, but our war aims are known and we are ready to constitute a society of nations when we have the necessary guarantees." M. Ribot said that the Petroerad government had asked him to defer tne publication of the Franco-Russian agreement. He said that he con sidered that he ought: to comDlv. ow ing to the difficult situation of their great ally. Pierre Renaudel said that the So ciaitsts would await Premier Pain. leve's acts before voting for him. He reproached the premier for forming his war committee of old men instead of young and ardent men. Confidence in the new ministry was voted by the cnamoer. iia xo l. The Socialists did noi vote. BOOKS ARE INFERIOR Teachers Register Another Complaint Against State, Printing Plan. A second howl on the state printing ot text-books arose from the teachers of the city schools when six teachers met in the building this morning. The plan is a failure and shows up the mucn riaunted "business administra tion" of the state school system, they declared. The books, according to one of the teachers, are of poorer quality, poorly edited and much inferior to the old publishing house texts of other years- The reason for the poor quality, the teachers agreed, was that no state funds were available to hire an expert editor of the same quality that a large publishing house employs. It is the old adage of large scale production making It possible for the school books of the large houses to be of unusual quality, while the plan of publishing the books in the state has proved as futile and as extravagant aa doing a little business on a large scale, they declare.

1 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1911 SURE ALLEN IS 'IN' False Report That He Would 'ot Run for Governor. Topeka Paper Attempts Politi cal Move To AW Another. HE IS IN FRANCE RIGHT NOW Nothing but a U-Koat Can Keep Him Out of "Chair." Opposition Candidate's Adroit Publicity Agent Fails. Followinc completion ot his work for the Rod Cross society, Henry J. Allen of Wichita, will launch a vigor ous, active campaisn for the Repub lican nomination for governor. When he returns from his present study of conditions in France, Allen will issue a flat, final statement reiterating his former statement and setting at rest the rumors launched for political purposes and advancement of indi vidual ambitions to the effect that the Wichita editor will not be in the race at the finish. Those are the statements by Allen's close friends. Among the men famil .iar with Allen's plans, there is not the slightest suspicion that he will not make the race for the governorship next year. Statements circulated by opposition candidates and men and interests concerned with sidetracking or defeating the Wichita man, have been to the effect that Allen will not stay in the race. These statments are' declared to be absolutely unfounded. One report industriously circulated since the announcement of one of the new gubernatorial candidates, has been to the effect that Allen will de vote his entire attention to other mat ters than running for governor. Just now Allen is deeply concerned in tne Red t'ross campaign work. He de voted weeks of his time to the cam paign of the Red Cross society in Kansas and in the nation. He gave his time and money and made speeches in a number of states in raising the recent 100 million dollar fund. Toliticlnns at Work. Following the campaign, Allen was commissioned to go to France to study war conditions. It is quite probable that he will return to make a number of speeches and to contribute his energy and time to the work of the society. In Allen's absence from this country, tho, certain political interests have been employed in circulating the report that he would not find time to make a political campaign. In fact a statement was published In Topeka this week to the effect that Allen had advised his friends before leaving for France that they should not regard his recent announcement too serious ly. Such statements are declared to be more than misleading. They are branded as absolutely false and circu lated in an attempt to mislead people in touch with political conditions in Kansas. "Mr. Allen's work for the Red Cross society is of the highest character and his heart and soul are in the cause," said one of Allen's closest friends who The Kind You Have Always Bought. TEES is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that ha3 been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 30 years the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little one3 in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger or intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother's watchfulness.

But being governor of Kan sas is also of a high character and Allen will not lay aside his responsi bility inthe campaign or withdraw from the race. He will not, however, enter the campaign until the campaign opens. Just now the war crisis is the greatest problem confronting the na tion and he will not forsake the work which he has outlined for the fall and winter. When he returns from France, iie will flatly set aside all Idle rumors of his withdrawal." Morning Paper Starts It. In an adroitly worded story, a To peka morning paper carefully convey ed the Impression that Allen would not run. The story was anticipated and 'was a repetition of a report circulated by a new guDernatoriai canaiaate ana his friends. In anticipation of this story, one of Allen's intimate Wichita friends sent the State Journal this telegram "If Capital carries story that Henry J. Allen is not a candidate for governor, please see that it is strongly denied. No truth in it. Allen will run." MAYOR MITCHeTwINS Tresent Incumbent Gets 11,000 Plu rality as Republican Candidate.

IS IN PEN AGAIN Jerry Choteau Goes Back to LeaYenworth Once More. He Just Can't Resist Tempta tion to Steal Horses. Tovenworth. Kan.. Sept. 20. Jerry Choteau, who broke home ties by stealing his wealtny iatners coatu horses and the chamber maid, and who has not been able to pass a team of fine "steppers" since without try ing to appropriate them, is back in the state penitentiary at Lansing. Jerry has a remarkaDie mstory, ana ns i remembered for more things than one. Besides having to his credit, or dis credit, an unusual criminal career, he is founder of the Choteau fund for wives and children of convicts, which has grown to be an important part oi the institution at Lansing. Tniiav Choteau is eray haired ana rather feeble. He is 60 years of age and appears five years older. Thirty years or a thirty-nve year sentence stare him in the face, yet to be served. He escaped from the Lansing prison in 1912. Since then he has stolen more horses, and served an other sentence In the Michigan state penitentiary. He was brought bacK to Lansing yesterday from Michigan, being arrested at the time of his re lease there. Family Prominent. To those familiar with the history of prominent Missouri families, the name of Choteau reminds them of other surroundings than a peniten tiary. Jerry Choteau's ancestors were nrsons of wealth and prominence. who held a high place in St. Louis society. One member of the family was in the cabinet or ADranam in nnln for a time. Despite the traditions of his rela tives, Jerry was always In trouble. He was rather weak In character, and unable to resist temptation. Horses and women were the sources of his greatest joy and his greatest sorrow. It seemed impossible for him to steer clear of them. The beginning of Jerry's criminal life came when he was a young man. One summer night he hitched his father's prancing coach horses to the family carriage, took a good looking chamber maid with him, and set out for the wild west. After this It was hard for him to come back to the parental roof, as the elder Choteau looked with a stern eye on his son's pleasure jaunt. Established Choteau Fund. So Jerry continued westward. He traveled over most of the middle states, turning from one occupation to another. Finally he stopped in Kansas. He managed to tread the narrow path of righteousness for sev eral years. Then his old mania for horseflesh returned. He stole live spans of horses before a sheriff end ed the sport. In due time Jerry was tried, and the Judge gave him seven years for every team he stole, making thirty live years in all. At Lansing Choteau became one of the prominent in mates. In some way he had saved $103, and one day he gave the en tire sum to start a fund for the re lief of prisoners' wives and depend ents. In honor of him it was named the Choteau fund, and has proved a blessing to hundreds of stricken fam ilies. MARSHAL IN MIXUP He Shoots Into Actress' Car and Lets Tire Thieves Escape. Waverly, Sept. 20. A country mar shal with a shotgun, some alleged tire thieves in a car and two prominent actresses and a driver in a Ford, com bined to stage an interesting little drama at Williamsburg Monday night, in which the alleged thieves es caped, the car with the actresses was peppered with shot and their driver hit in the shoulder, and the constable and his assistant are still wondering Just what has happened. The sheriff of Ottawa phoned the authorities at Williamsburg to watch out for alleged tire thieves, three men and a woman in a car. The marshal buckled his star to his suspenders, grabbed his trusty double barreled shotgun, which was loaded, called his assistant and took his stand patrolling the middle of Williamsburg's main street and halting all comers. About this time a car swept into town. The marshal aimed both bar rels of his shotgun at the driver and shouted "Halt!" The car halted. The marshal says the car was searched. About this time a Ford came up. Bus iness was getting good. The marshal ordered the newcomer to throw up his hands. This the driver did. The last motorist was Herbert Wil liams, of Waverly, a personal friend of the officer. But just behind him was another Ford, owned and occu pied by Miss Henrietta Mills, of Kan sas City, Kan., an actress and play right, who, with two of her troupe, was driving to Albuquerque, N. M. Now Miss Mills hasn't been an act ress for nothing. She recognizes a hold-up when she sees one. In reply to the marshal's demand to "Throw up your hands!" the hissed to the driver, in real stage fashion, "It's a hold-up; give her the juice!" And he did. The marshal fired both barrels at the fleeing car. The girls ducked, and most of the shot spattered on the back of the car, nineteen remaining there as souvenirs. Williams knew the party, and explained to the marshal, where UDOn the latter directed his assistant to go down the road where the wounded car had stopped for the driver was slightly injured in the shoulder reprimand the tourists for not stopping when ordered, and then let them go. In the meantime, the .men in the other car began to parley. Why Lemon Juice For Freckles Girls! Make beauty lotion at home for a few cents. Try It!

Adv. couldn't they go They had not stolen property. Besides, they had plenty of tires. There was one on each wheel and three or four extras strapped on behind. The marshal pondered. The logic was invincible No, such gentleman had no need to steal tires. He let them go and they went. GAVE BIGPICNIC Smith Connty Sent Draft Men Away in Grand Style. Forty Soldiers Entertained at Smith Center Affair. Smith Center. Kan.. Sept. 20. Smith county is proud of her soldier boys. The display of bunting and the stars and stripes waving from all the business houses and many of the resi dences shows the loyal and patriotic spirit with which the people of Smith Center honored the soldier boys in giving them a rousing reception, pic nic and dinner on the courthouse lawn on the day before their depar ture for Camp Funston. It seemed all of Smith county was interested, as good delegations were present from every town in the county many of them bringing baskets well filled with good things to eat. The Ladies' Civic club of this place served the dinner. The several long tables reaching almost from one end of the lawn to the other, fairly groan ed under the weight of the good things spread upon them. The Ladies' Civic club of Smith Center know how to prepare a meal, for they have per formed this task on many other occa sions. Besides the 41 soldier boys who sat down to dinner, from 2,000 to 2,500 others were served. At each of the entrances to the lawn the gates were decorated with flags and banners tacked up with the inscription, "In Honor of Our Sol dier Boys." Dinner over short addresses were made by Rev. D. R. Wade, pastor of tne Baptist church, chairman; Rev. W. Byrd, of the Presbyterian church; Senator I. M. Mahin; Judge R. M. Pickler and Rev. C D. Shoemaker, of the Congregational 'church. The completeness of the organiza tion of the Women's Council of Na tional Defence for Smith County is one of the really marvelous things, the entire organization being conducted by Mrs. Belle Lutz, who is chairman of the countv organization. She has visited nearly every community in the county to inspire and Instruct the wor men in the work the organization is intended to perform. The result of her work was fully demonstrated reir. istration day when all the towns and various communities responded far be. yond expectations. Monster parades were held in several of the larger towns, and in Mrs. Lutz's own town of smith Center, the demonstration not alone showed the seriousness and en thusiasm of the women, but was an event ot rare beauty.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN BY HER HAIR There is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the few who try to make the most of your hair, remember that it is not advisa ble to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good preparation made expressly for shampooing. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox from your druggist, dissolve a tea spoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lus tre and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair frrowth.
