The barracks attack was not he first time the members of the engi neer contingent have ben under fire. As a matter of fact they are jarettinty hardened to the sensation of being" shelled.

They were to take it back to the American center. Wide eyed and boyishly interested, the Americans were sauntering amid the crumpled and blasted masonry, entirely oblivious to high explosive shells which banged at random among the ruins. The American infantry contingent today was excited over a series of bayonet. entrenching, rifle and jrrenading contests now on. Generals Pershing, Sibert and Sharp, with the American newspaper correspondents, have offered championship cups for the men who excel in each brinch. The awards will be made next week.

Congress to day is nearins the greatest money raising feat in the history of world parliaments. No nation, within an equal time, ever appropriated such sums $20, 000, 000, 000 for any pur pose. Means for raising nineteen and a half billions of dollars have been pro vided, under revenue and bond bills. Only the conference report on the 2.5 00,0 00, 000 revenue bill awaits final disposition today. $7.IMI0.IMM).0U0 for Army. Out of the giant appropriations may be traced the new courses modern warfare has taken. Nearly il, 000, 000, 000 has been sec aside for the army, of which about a third is devoted to artillery and ammunition alone. Ship building has demanded more than a billion. Aircraft production is given a start with 1694,000,000 and more to come.. An even 7, 000. 000,000 is provided for- loan to the allies. Tne navy has needed to date only 1,606,000,000. There is pending a soldiers' and sailors' insurance bill which appro priates $17,250,000 to take care of the wounded dependents. More than eight and a half millions have been set aside for the selective draft. Herbert Hoover is given $162. 500,000 to control the food situation, while Secretary of Agriculture Hous ton has $11,346,400 to hold a nation wide survey and learn what the food supply really is. But even with the great sums raised, all expenditures of the govern ment up to June 30, 1918, will leave more than a billion dollars deficit if more funds are not raised. Senator Lodge figures the deficit will reach $3,000,000,000. To meet this will be left to the December session. First Bond Bill for Seven Billion. The deficit is based on the fact that in addition to war expenditures of $17,687,872,932, there will be other regular expenditures to bring the total to $20,651,700,734. Only $19,371,000. 000 is netted from the two bond bills, war revenue bill and the regular revenues of the government. The first bond bill signed by the presi dent April 24 provided for $5,000,000, 000 in bonds and $2,000,000,000 in certificates of indebtedness. The sec ond bill provided $11,538,000,000, but of this $3,000,000,000 goes to convert bonds authorized but not issued under the first bill, leaving a total of "new funds" of $8,533,000,000. The war revenue bill ,fill produce approxi mately $2,500,000,000, while regular revenues will add $1,333,000,000 more.

Another new foodstuffs product for which the war has created a material demand is to be manufactured in To peka. The Forbes Milling company. North: Topeka. is making changes and ad ditions costing about $30,000 to its plant, and will install equipment to grind corn flour- When the con struction work on the structure and installation of machinery are com pleted, the institution will be the only one of its kind in this city and pos sibly in the state manufacturing this commodity, which is coming more and. more into demand. The mill, it is said, will be equipped to grind a capacity of 600 barrels of corn flour daily. Another story win be added to the present structure and the storing capacity will be enlarged by several thousand bushels. New machinery has been ordered. rimi Wheat, Too. Officials at the mill today said that the full building program, othej than the addition for the corn flour feature has not been- definitely decided, upon, but hinted that the institution will also be equipped to grind flonr Corn flour, at present, is not being uiiuc or soio. to any great extent in Topeka on a commercial basis because of a lack of supply. The Forbes mill, it is said, has been grinding small quantities as an experiment, and this led to preparations to throw the- cam commodity onto the market commer cially. While the price of corn, at the pres ent time, exceeds that of wheat, mem bers of the Forbes company believe this condition is only temporary. They believe the time is coming soon when the supply and demand will equalize the prices of wheat and corn. Bis Saving to Puliiic When that tim L)eoom, a' W ciiea. tne use or corn flour in eoofctirg will mean an enormous saving in the cost of foodstuffs. The commodity is also used extensively in preparing meat products by packing houses. Small quantities may be mixed with wheat flour in the manufacture of bread. The latter policy has been ex tensively adopted in England, France and Germany. It can also be used in other foodstuffs.

Neither he nor his son were in the house when Mrs. Whitmere is supposed to have taken the strychnine capsule. They were called home by the .eighbors. She Became Despondent. When that peddler called at the- house and told her that she had ca ni cer of the stomach and crraidn't be cured it began preying on her mind."" said Whitmere. "It was the climax to years of suffering and worry. She had been in poor health for years and we had employed one of the best physicians in the city for her. :he also told neighbors that she had been brooding over the fate marked ut for her by the peddler." First intimation that a tragedy had been enacted in the Whitmere homt came shortly after 7 o'clock Tuesday evening when Mrs. Gades and Mrs. Dana heard a scream. They hurried from their homes and when the screams were repeated located them at the Whitmere house. There they found Mrs. Whitmere prostrated. They immediately called Dr. Floersch and the husband and son. To all of them Mrs. Whitmere confessed that she had taken strych nine, her husband stated today. "I was just tired of It all." ah said.

They found the bottle there. The poison had been kept tn the house to kill mice. Whitmere said today. According to Mrs. Whitmere deathbed statement she took the poi son shortly after 7 o'clock in the ev ening. She did not die until after S o'clock and this Is one at the reason advanced by Dr. Floersch as Indicat ing that death was not caused by strychnine poison.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 27. 1917 SKIDS ALREADY UNDER GERMANY IS U. S. VERSION Prediction of ew Peace Prop aganda Proves Correct. Believe Next Offer Will Be To Slice Alsace-Lorraine. JIOTHING ACCEPTABLE YET Only Yagne Proposals To Stir Vp Pacifists Abroad. Fears Winter Campaign and U. S. Strength Next Year. c BY CAUL D. GROAT. Washington, Sept. 27. Germany 'weakening, tho not beaten Is making a desperate effort for peace in the tear of America's might next year. International experts today repeated this declaration even more emphat ically than they Have voiced it for weeks past on the strength of Secre tary of War Baker's official war re view showing that Germany's "punch'" is waning. The government was Informed long 'ago that Germany would start a new propaganda for peace to avoid a win ter campaign and the effects of Amer ica's participation in the war. German replies to the Vatican prove the in formation was entirely correct. Ger many's moves now are looked upon here as an appeal to p: cifi.it opinion. I Secretary Itaker Reviews War. Baker's war review the first of a weekly series shows that the enemy does not feel himself able to undertake the much advertised offensive action so often boasted of at home during the past summer in order to end the war victoriously by Christmas. The report shows Russian resistance stiffening: the Austrians using only one division as reserve in their Italian campaign; while the British and French artillery. Infantry and air craft have done most spectacular work the past week. 8-ch a situation means that Germany is on the down grade. With the military situation thUB shaping much to Germany's disad vantage, experts here see clearly that her peace maneuvers are based on a real internal desire for peace above which rises the spectre of a terrible beating if the struggle goes on. Anticipated Belgium Offer. Germany's latest peace move, a suggestion that Germany is willing to 'pay "her share" of damages and grant independence to: Belgium with the Teutons free to develop economically there squares with word printed recently by the United Press basel on official embassy messages here- That outline said Germany, in addition to offering Belgium Independence, would also agree to slicing up Alsace-Lor--raine between Germany and France. This overture is felt here to be 'still a possibility. f But officials are turning a deaf ear on all the German peace talk, inas much as it contains no suggestion for elimination of Hohenzollerniem which President Wilson says is the only pos sible basis upon which a peace con ference be assembled. visits frenchTront Premier Lloyd George Returns Home After 3 Iays In France.

Over the Top and Flange Bay onets Thru Dummy Boches. American Training Camp in France, Sept. 27. The Paris correspondent of Reuters, Ltd., writes the following ac count of his recent visit to the train ing camp of the American expedi tionary force: "I asked an Knglish drill sergeant who had just given a bunch of six teen American subalterns a. breathing spell after some particularly strenu ous exercises what he thought of his charges. 'What do I think of- these 'ere young gentlemen, sir Why, sir, we've Just had 'em in six days and loolt at 'em. They're training on beautiful. 'The best thing about em sir,' he went on with professional pride, 'is that they're keen as rwstard. We can't give 'em too muc!-they eat it up. At It eight hours a day and ask for more and you could see for your self, sir, 'ow we made 'em 'ustle? Just lettingr "em see, 'ow we do it in our little army, "I went on a visit to one of several camps somewhere in France where the American army is in training. Aft er luncheon with the division com mander, a simple but ample meal with a water washdown as I am told it is in every mess he invited me to come with him 'to see how your Eng lish sergeant-major takes my aide over there and the rest of the school of officers and makes them run around.' Has Baseball Skinned. 'Yes,' said an alert young officer, 'come and see me sweat. The drill we get has baseball skinned at the post as an exercise butit Js great stuff.' "We stood later on a hillside while the general pointed out where there had been constructed in a dip three short lines of trenches ending at a rise some hundred yards away. 'These points you see in the sun on the opposite slope, he said, 'are tin cans on sticks. You will know their use in a minute or so.' 'Ready, gentlemen,' said the drill sergeant. 'Prepare for trench bayo net practice by hair sections. You re to take these three lines of trenches. and go to cover and fire six rounds at them ere tin ats. Don t waste a shot, gentlemen, every bullet a Boche. Now then, ready over the top and give 'em ell right in the stomach. Fritlz likes his victuals but not that sort. Get at 'em,' 'Over the top they went with what must have bean some wild college yell. They ran some ten yards and dug their bayonets savagely into dum my Germans made of cacks who swung in the wind to meet them and disappeared in the first trench. "We could see the rifle butts lift and fall as they lunged desperately at the supposed foe. Then up they came and on again until we could see them spread eagle beside a shallow trench blazing away at the cans which rat tled down. Then as they marched back the second section got ready to begin its stunt. Cleaning Vp a Trench. "Afterwards we watched what was an extremely Interesting bit of train ing. A section of communicating trench had been prepared with side pockets, so to speak, at intervals of five yards or so in each of these was supposed to be one or more Germans, represented by a sack. The object les son was to teach the young officers, so that they might afterwards teach their men, the best manner in which to take the occupants of such a trench by surprise with bayonet in hand and to clean it up. Now, remember, gentlemen, said the drill seigeant. "there's a Fritz in each of these 'ere cubby holes and 'e's no dub, is Frits. 'E's got ears all down his back. We taught 'em that trick, so see that your feet are pneumatic and for 'eaven's sake don't sneeze or his nibs will sling you a bomb like winkin' and there'll be a nasty mess. "Ready, number one, 'ead down, bayonet up. It's no use sticking out your heck to try to get a sight of Fritz in his ole. Why if old Fritz was there, e'd just down your point, and where d you be? Why a bunkin' casualty, and don't you forget it. Ready again, bayonet up. Now you see 'em, quick, down with the point and at 'em. Tickle 'is gizzard. Not so bad, but I bet you wakened 'is nibs in the next 'ole. You see, when you pulled your bayonet out of his little Mary, you 'it the butt of your gun against the opposite side of the trench. That's fatal. Keep in your mind you're fighting for your life. Clean and quiet killin' is the word." From a Fighting Stock. It was good to see the earnest way in which these young Americans got down to their work. They are all right, these lads, and when they feet their chance they will show it. "Good progress for a week, sir, ain't it?" asked the sergeant with pride before he left.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's seething indignation against pacifists, slackers and anyone else who is not enthusiastically for vigorous prosecu tion of every phase of the war, was assuaged for a time here today when he inspected 19,000 of the "right kind of Americans" in this cantonment. He chatted with recruits, returned innumerable salutes, listened to mar tial musio and had a "bully" time generally. He addressed the honor men- briefly and took train at 2 p. m. for Chicago where he speaks tonight. In the course of his trip he met Capt. H. C.

WITH IT ROOT AND BRANCH "NO COAISTHIKE'; Announcement Leaks From Washington Conference. Norfolk and 'Frisco Shipyard Strikers Return to Work. Washington, Sept. 27. Speedy ad1 Justment of the soft coal miners' wage demands was assured today when Rembrandt Peale, operators' adviser to Fuel Administrator Garfield, said "there will be no coal strike." A com promise wage increase which will be passed on to the consumer by Gar field, increasing the operators' prices at the mines, is expected to be the out come of the joint conference here. With return of the Norfolk navy yard strikers today and a temporary agreement reached in the San Fran cisco shipbuilders" strike, the natipnjil labor situation outlook improved. The government's shipyard wage adjust ment board is at work on a settlement for the Portland and Seattle shipping troubles, with the president's Pacific coast labor investigators meeting to day to plan anexhaustive probe into the situation on' the coast and in the Rocky mountain sections. A sub-committee of the sixteen operators and miners met at 9 a. m. today to take up the United Mine Workers' demands for from 20 to 70 per cent advance in bituminous wages. Three ways are open to the sub-committee deadlock,' compromise pr granting the miners' full demands. A deadlock entailing shutdown of the bituminous mines in the midst of war and coal shortage, is not thought ot by either side. President Wilson will prevent it arbitrarily, if necessary.

The schools of music have assured those in charge of the course that no better stars could have been obtained than those who appear.

Larger offerings appear during strength. i The sctive list promises to be more two sided for a time. We think active operators will get results on both sides If satisfied with moderate profits. Bullish operations are likely to be more of the specialty char acter and quick purchases in specialties when strong snd active should give turns. 4euerally speaking profits should not be ignored on bulges and bnvlng opportuni ties ought to be sought chiefly ou reac tions. Pool channels are bulling Ohio Cities Gas, United Fruit and Atlantic Gulf and West Indies. Chicago. Sept. 27. The Herald savs: With the big short sellers who have been a factor of late out of the market s few of the largest local operators are able to send prices up or down at critical mo ments by liberal purchases or sales. Many were bullish last night but a number of large operators regard the market for com and oats as showing an easy under tone snd a sale on bulges. January pro visions are said to be largely oversold. Buying of a little pork sent It up $1.55. lard 50 cents and sport ribs $1 from the low point yesterday. Lard and ribs held the greater part of the gain while pork reacted 40 cents from the- top. Prices for pork and ribs are the highest known. TOIM H MARKKT SCfOKT. Tapska Hey Unfiles. .Furnished by T.

Adv. Camp Funston, Kan., Sept. 27 There won't be any heat in the bar racks occupied by the men of the Kighty-ninth division of the national army until the latter part of October, and maybe not until Christmas. This i the statement of men and officers 1 who are familiar with every phase of the present plans of the war depart ment for heating; Camp Funston. If everything needed was on the ground now, the work might be finished in three weeks. i The weather for the last few days and nights has been cold and miser able. It rained from midnight Tues day until almost noon Wednesday, a cold and driving rain, that chilled to the bone. There isn't a barracks in camp that is heated. There isn't a man in camp, except the officers, who have a plentiful supply of warm clothing. The men, today sat ar.und in their barracks for the most part wrapped in blankets and shivering. It was so cold and wet and muddy today that every man who had an overcoat, a raincoat or a pair of toots wore them, and those who didn't have them and had the money went to town and bought a supply. In many places in camp the water was more than knee deep and almost every place the mud was ankle deep to be conservative. The chief reason for the many de lays installing the heating system has been the fault of the manufacturers. Day after day has been lost because some manufacturer forgot to ship the necessary fittings for pipes and boil ers, or because they didn't feel the need of filling the orders at once, or because they had to wait for one thing or another. Short on Hollers. The entire number of boilers neces sary has not arrived. There are still .-sixteen boilers short. There isn't a foot of 5-inch pipe in camp, and this is the pipe suspended overhead to cairy the steam from the boilers to the barracks, and 13,500 feet was or dered more than six weeks ag. There isn't a foot of 8-inclj pipe, the pipe that is necessary to carry the steam from the boilers to the mains, on the grounds. Some f this pipe left Youngstown, O., September 14; some on the 19th and some on the 22d, but none of it has arrived here. In the meantime work on the heating system is practically at a standstill and the men are shivering from the cold. For instance, when the boilers were shipped from Kewanee, 111., someone forgot to put in the anchor bblts. As a result only a few of the boilers are completely installed and the rest are awaiting the arrival of the bolts. Then the stacks arrived, but no guy wires came with them another delay. There is a complete system of radiators in stalled in 193 barracks, with the ex ception of one of two 5-section radia tors ln each one. The war department specified 5-section radiators should be placed in cer tain specific spots, and consequently the work cannot be finished until they arrive from Chicago. The entire heat ing system is one continuous radiation of steam and no shutoff valves were allowed by the war department. This means the heat cannot be cut off at any one place, and the steam cannot be turned into the radiators until the entire system is completed. These were ordered six weeks ago. Fittings Ordered. Fittings were ordered six weeks ago from Chicago, including "L.s" and "Ts" and crosses for the pipes, but nothing has been heard of them. Capt. Fred J. Herman, constructing quartermaster, realized some time ago what was going to happen, so he sent men to different places ih hurry the shipments along and to ride right to Camp Funston with the cars to see they were not lost or delayed- One man arrived today with eleven cars of fittings in tow, and another is on the way here. Capt. J. S. Smith will leave today for Kansas City, Chicago and other eastern points to either hustle up the shipments or buy from other firm? in the open market. All the main build ings were to have been heated by steam and the isolated small buildings by stoves. Captain Herman ordered 1 79 stoves, but the government thought 423 could be used. There are on the ground 375, but they are small and one of them wouldn't e ven take the chill off one of the big bar racks built for two hundred men. The stoves were being set up in offices today, and tonight Captain Herman appointed an officer whose entire duty will be to direct gangs of work men to put up what stoves are on hand where they will do the most good.

A group of young men from out of town oreupied a box at a local thcuter hist even ing and they all placed their feet on the railing. LIVED TO BE 1 04 Kansan Born Danced a Jis in Germany When 103.

Argentina seems to be about to cast her lot wtth the nations opposing Germany. The South American re public has not the provocation for entering the war that the United States had not yet. But the govern ment at. Buenos Aires probably realizes that it is only a question of time when the rights and the honor of the country will demand that she take up arms against the pirate among nations and that nothing can be pained by delay. Germany's prospec tive new enemy is reported to have a well trained army of 200,000 men. If Ihe entire force can be made available for service at the front, it should be pf considerable assistance to the arm ies already in the field. There is no longer any danger that the aggrega tions of nations opposing Germany will run out of men. The thing of greatest need Is to keep up the sup ply of arms, ammunition and food. The most optimistic Teuton can scarcely hope to win, in face of the odds against his country. Germany's position regarding peace terms appears to be that she will promise to be good if she be per mitted ti rptain the lont fHrenrlv ttf- tiatred. 0n;rP ssman Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, has found a new way to impress upon the public the huge t tiPss of the deficiency appropriation bill just passed. Mr. Mondell has fig ured that if we were to count dollars at the rate of five per second, and continue the count for ten hours each day, it would take almost 100 years to reach the number of dollars that the Mil authorises to be expended. He estimates that the total amounts to one-sixth of all the farms and ranches of the country, with all their stock, machinery and buildings. "War has made Uncle Sam the big pest buyer of food in this country and the board bill for his soldiers will be $800,000 a day." Charles "Lathrop ,1'ack, president of the National Emer- gency Food Garden commission of Washington told the food conference of the American academy of political and social science. We are to have two million men under arms shortly according to the best reports. At forty cents a day it will be seen what that means. True these men ate before be coming soldiers, but they have sudden- iy oecome non -producers and they fmust be fed. It is reported that the J reserve stock of foodstuffs at each -.camp is J125.O00 and there are 33 camps in the country today. That .means that food valued at $4,125,000 Is taken out of the regular channels of trade. The 1918 wheat crop In Kansas may be safely regarded as having passed one danger point. The heavy rains this month make it certain that there can be no winter killing. The saying, "that which cannot be cured must be endured," will lose its force if the American Association of Progressive Medicine be permitted to "carry-out Its program. The organiza- tion will seek legislation making law ful the execution of aged, infirm or suffering persons who desire death. Its members argue with some show of reason that criminals, altho not known to be incurable, are put to death and without their consent. Some difficulty may be found in obtaining an execu tioner, but the association seems not to have considered that phase of the euoject. mis possible contingency was illustrated by an old farmer some years back, who after listening to re citals by his neighbors regarding tha wickedness of his boys, remarked: "I know my boys are mean and they ought to be killed, but I hate to do it, Stone for street paving seems to be Riving plce to other and more de sirable substances, altho the quantity still is large. According to- figures re ported to G. F. Loughlin, of the U. S. Geological Survey, department of the interior, there were sold in 191 44. 795,796 granite paving blocks, val ued at (2.288,486, a decrease of nearly T per cent In quantity and of nearly 3 per cent in value compared with the figures for 1915. The average price per thousand, however, increased from $48.85 to 151.09. Four of the 18 producing states, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wis consin, showed increase in quantity and value of sales. WHY BUSINESS' HALTS. One of the most prominent invest ment bankers in the country, com menting upon the present lack of snap and energy in the conduct of business for other than war purposes, says that general business, like the stock market, is drifting along with out much leadership. "Consider the large number of men," he said, "at the head of their respective lines of business, whose services have been commandeered for war purposes. The great constructive brains of the counT try are today Intent on war and not on business! War. not money making or the building up of new enterprises has become the business of the coun try." Of course a vast volume of business must be transacted to take care of the needs of our 100,000,000 inhabi tants, but the zest seems to have dis appeared from business, with the holding in abeyance ot that great constructive force, the determination to increase and develop. Capital is reluctant to embark, upon new enter prises, for it does not know whether "wealth conscription" and price fix ing will proceed to a point which will deprive investments of a satisfactory yield. The risks at present seem too great for progress along any of the staple lines outfide the munitions field. One of the mOBt impressing influ ences of all, says the Iron Trade Re view, is- the stupendous sums into which the cost of war Is mounting. The way congress bandies billions is appalling. But, no doubt, after a few prices have been fixed, and manu facturers and merchants have been given am opportunity to see how ef fective the policy will be, a more active business may ensue. Forward buying has been held up for about two months, until now there are require ments to be covered in many lines which are mounting to considerable proportions. FIXING COAL. PKICES. It is disturbingly evident now, that the price fixed for sort coal is a mis take which promises to produce widespread hardship. Last year the total supply of fuel was insufficient for the country's needs. This year, under the Influence of a fixed price which is too low, the result promises to be most unhappy. The rear" facts are, says The Bache Review, that stimulation of production was especially essential n this one of the four or five commodities in the forefront-of war and domestic needs, and the coarse pursued has had just the opposite effect. Production is re ported to have fallen off 3,000,000 tons in the month of August. A different course in price-fixing was pursued In anthracite, a fair price having been allowed to the producers varying with the circumstances at the different dis tricts. The result is that anthracite production has increased. While the larger companies might be able to make a meagre profit on bituminous coal at $2, at very many of the smaller mines expenses exceed this sum, and many of these opera tors have closed their mines. Manufacturers all over the country are already feeling the bad effects of this shortage in coal and are running on unsatisfactory reduced schedules. Merchants are consequently having great difficulty In getting orders filled, and delay in shipments is vthe order of the day. It is impossible to under stand why such action with regard to coal was' taken. The price originally first tacitly agreed to, by the larger producers and the coal committee, of 38, was fairly satisfactory, and if' ad hered to would have obviated many of the unfortunate results which hava followed, and the Intensity of which will increase as the winter draws near. Once production at a mine has stopped It is a matter of difficulty and delay to renew It- Some Idea of the lack of proportion of this coal price may be gathered, continues the Review, when it is con sidered, as is stated, that this level of price In coal would be equivalent to 14 cents for copper, to $38 for steel, and to 12 or IS cents for cotton. It can be imagined what effect reduction to such figures would have on produc tion in these commodities 'and it is now seen how far away coal is from what maturer deliberation has accord ed, for instance, to copper, of 23 cents per pound. Price-fixing Is supposed to be in the Unterest of the consumer, and the lower the price the better he is pleased. But merely knowing that coal Is down to $T -nd not being able to get any, is of no benefit to him. The demand for coal far exceeds the output of all the mines. Rising prices induced many new exploitations of coal properties, "and under this stimulus of possibility of big profits, hundreds of new coal operations had been started In the South. This kind of enterprise, which wouldundoubted ly have Increased production mater ially, has been given a black eye. No new operations of the kind will be undertaken with coal at an impossi bly low price. What we needed in coal -was tre mendously increased production, which higher prices would have Induced. What we will face at the Government price Is the possibility of a destructive coal famine. "t WAR BOOSTS EDUCATION THK TOPKKA STA TE JOIKNAI INFORMATION BCKEAC By rrrlnc J. Ha-kln, tir Wnf-hinston. t. C. Washington, D. C. Sept. 27. The importance of "education as usual" during the war is. now being em phasized by American educators. Dr. Philander P. Cl&xton, United States Commissioner of Education, recently issued the following warning: "Because of the partial disorgani sation of society ana the general ex citement accompanying our entrance into the war, there 13 danger of a large increase in juvenile delinquency and crime. Against this tnere is no surer guarantee tnan prompt and regular attendance at school." Another prominent educator points ouL that commercial success after the war is largely dependent upon a well educated population. He urges the establishment of more continuation schools for children who are com pelled to start contributing to the fam ily income as soon as tney leave me eighth grade, as well as free courses in Spanish both for children and for adults. Never before, he asserts, has the national value of public educa tion been so apparent. American educators' are not alone in this discovery. The whole of Europe has awakened to this fact in the past two years. The value of the educated man has been demonstrated as never before. "It is not only the information possessed by the educated man which makes him valuable," said on the value of education to a soldier. He has been trained to think.' In view of these opinions, it is not surprising to find wide-spread educa tional relorms taking place in France and Germany and Great Britain- The latest British educational bill contains particularly radical features. In the general confusion at the'be ginning of the war, the necessities and privileges of children were forgotten Every country had certain laws con cerning the minimum age at which children might be employed, but in the rush for war material jthese laws were either ignored or rescinded. In Great Britain children nine and ten years old were accepted by munitions factories. 'Moreover, the schools were taken over by the military authorities and turned into cantonments for troops, military headquarters and sup ply depots. This threw hundreds of children out of school, leaving them to roam the streets or to stay in empty homes. For the majority of mothers were working In munitions factories. They weraway from their homes all day and naturally could not supervise their children. The loss of a father's discipline and guidance also began to have its effect. Some British educa tors have even suggested that the darkened streets were another unfor tunate circumstance swelling the list of juvenile offenses, all crime flour ishing in the dark. At any rate, the school authorities began to be worried. "Many school children, and especially boys, are suffering from a want of proper care and discipline and are ex posed to serious risk of deterioration," they told the public, and insisted upon its co-operation. Evening play centers, providing children with suitable oc cupation and amusement after school hours, weri established; the govern ment ordered an evacuation of the j schools occupied by soldiers, wher- j ever other arrangements could be made, and the board of education started a campaign to arouse the country to the dangers which threat ened its children. The result is the recent education bill, which practically puts the child ren of Great Britain under ttie guard ianship of the board of education. It specifies that every child must attend school between the ages of five and fourteen. Children over twelve" may be employed after school hours, but if the school medical officer or local ed ucation authority believes that such employment is Interfering with the child's physical development or with his school work, the employment must cease. All private schools are made sub ject to inspection by the board of ed ucation, and if found unsatisfactory, children will not be permitted to at tend them. The next generation will know no Nicholas Nickelbys or Kipps. After leaving the elementary school at the age of fourteen, the pupil must attend a continuation school "at such times, on such days, as the local edu cation authority of the area in which he resides may require, for 320 hours in each year until he is sixteen years old." Employers or parents who at tempt to prevent children from com plying with this regulation are sub ject to-a fine of from five to twenty fve dollars The exemptions from continuation schools are largely in the hands of the board of eductaion, also, altho certain specific exemptions are specified in the bill. If a person has passed the matriculation examination of a university, or an examination recognized by the board of education as equivelant thereto; if a pupil is able to prove that he is receiving ef ficient full-time instruction in some other manner, or if his education ob tained somewhere else is considered sufficient, he does not have to attend the continuation school. Nursery schools for children under five years of age, whose home condi tions are such that attendance at such a school is necessary for their healthy pnysical and mental development, are also a feature of the bill. It also con tains provisions for holiday or school camps for young persons attending continuation schools; of physical train ing centers, other than those connect ed with elementary schools, and of school baths and swimming pools. This is the liberal educational pro gram or ureat Britain, which never i before has so concerned itself with the mental and physical growth of its peo ple. For many years, higher educa- j tion in Germany has belonged entire ly to the upper classes. The elemen tary schools were free, and so were certain vocational schools, but here education for the poorer classes stop ped. For the secondary schools, known as gymnasiums, did not begin where the elementary schools left off. A special preparatory course was necessary to fit a pupil for them, and this preparatory course was ex tremely expensive. Thus the Junkers kept their high schools and universi ties for themselves. Now the cost of this preparatory course has been greatly reduced, and there is talk of abolishing It alto gether. A forceful movement to establish a single school leinlicits schule) containing the preparatory course is now forcing the Issue. Short ly after the war broke out. a pamphlet by Adolph Matthias, attacking the ed ucational system of Germany and pointing to several pertinent lessons to be drawn from the war, created a great deal of excitement. "It is evi dent," declared the author, "that our higher class as intellectuals have failed." France, also, is seeking to abolish her system of preparatory schools be- tween elementary and- secondary scnoois, anno in ranee nigner ?u muni tion has always been accessible to poor people. The preparatory schools are not expensive. The most popular re form in France at present, however, has to do wl physical training. Physical training centers are being established in all parts of the country, even where the schools have been mus tered into the military serice. For the first time health and hygiene in the schools are being placed above the three "R's." But this does not mean that France is neglecting the three "R's" either. Hospitals and military depots are be ing jiioved"from school houses as rap idly as possible, and the schools again thrown open to the children. In vil lages where the school houses are still needed for military affairs, private houses have been turned into tempo rary schools by the women. Ope woman kept her school of thirty-five pupils together for over a year during the German occupation of her prov ince. If a boy played hookey, she went after him and brought him back, and "if a parent wanted to take his boy away for employment in a fac tory, she usually talked him into changing his mind. Furthermore. France has had the additional burden of educating Bel gian refugee children. LHiring the first year of the war five hundred Bel gian children were sent to the interior of France to be taken care of. They were divided into forty-eight school colonies and placed in charge of teachers. The course of instruction followed as nearly as possible that of the Belgian public schools before the war, and the expense was shared by the French and Belgian govern ments. The older girls of these coio nies do the sewing and laundering, and prepare the meals. The older boys contribute to their support by working in the fields during spare hours, but such employment is not allowed to interfere with their school work. Thus Europe is awake to the value of education as it never was before. Ail the mistakes made at the begin ning of the war are being rectified as quickly as possible. The minimum age limit for the enployment of chil dren has been restored, in some in stances increased, and the number of hours children are allowed to work has been decreased by law. They are bemg kept in school, and the schools themselves Improved.

T1AVELETTE BX NIKSAH The Passing Kskimtl Some philosophers are discussing in an academic way whether civilization has been a good thing for the human race, some of them eve nterming it a disease. One argument in the affirm ative may certainly ..be drawn from its effect on uncivilized people when they first come in contact with It. The North American Indian, from Canada to Mexico, has degenerated in quality and dwindled in numbers as a result of its "blessings," and now Dr. Grenfell of Labrador writes that trading posts are bringing disease and whisky among the Eskimos, so that they are dying out and losing their best qualities. The unspoiled Eskimo, according to the testimony of all fair observers, is 4i man of most admirable character. He is peaceable, patient, full of grati tude and magnanimity. The explorer McMillan tried in vain to explain to the Eskimos the causes of the great war-which is the latest manifestation of our civilization. When he told them the white men were killing each other over the ownership of certain lands, the Eskimos asked, I'Why don't they divide it?" Dr. Grenfell tells a story of an Es kimo for whom he set a broken arm. Years later he met the man, who pre sented him with a beautiful pair-, of skin boots, which he had been carry ing about with him, in the hope of meeting his friend, for more than two years. The decrease of the Eskimo is due to the fact that the white man im ports diseases, but not the medicine and doctors necessary to cure them. TEE SEAMCSIUGfflT I .at?-.

Dorothy Dix Says BY DOROTHY DIX -rld' Hisnest Paid Wemu Writer Dou't Marry Out of Your Age limit. A lad of twenty is in love with a woman of thirty. The lady is willing, but holds back because she doubts the wisdom of marrying a man so much younger than herself, and the couple ask my advice in the matter. With all the earnestness of which I am capable I entreat them not to commit matrimonial hari-kari as such a union is bound to be. Not once in a million times does a" mar riage in which the woman, is ten years older than the man turn out success fully.. Practically always it ends in misery and regret for botn parties. There are many discrepancies be tween a couple that time and effort may adjust so that wnat seemed an unsuitable marriage when it took place turns out happily. The poor and humble man an -"stocrat ic girl marries may make money and raise himself in the world. The illiterate and uncouth girl a cultivated man takes to wife may educate herself and acquire a society manner. People est different nationalities may learn to speak the other's language and adopt the other's habits and customs. But insuitability in age between a man and woman is a difference that time aggravates and that grows worse and worse every year. And this is par ticularly true when the woman Is the older, because women age faster than men, and while affection may nimbly skip across the bridge between twen ty and thirty and call it nothing, only duty can halloo across C!ie chasm that separates a woman's fifty from a man's forty years. A woman is always older than a man is at the same age. She is born older. A girl baby cuts her wisdom teeth sooner. She learns to talk be fore he does, and she has made up her mind whom she will marry and what sort of a wedding she will have before a boy has found out that wo men, as a sex. even exists. And she keeps up this running start on age that she has gotten in the cradle, so that she is an old woman while he is still a mere youth. These are stern facts of nature that no rouge or straight fronts or dieting or massaging or thinking young thoughts, or milliners, or dressmakers can change one iota, and it is what makes every marriage .of a mature woman with a boy a tragedy. And the gajl and bitterness of the tragedy are chiefly the woman's, for it is easier to bear being tired of an old wife than for the old wife to know that her young husband is wearied unto death of her. There are countless reasons why a boy of twenty should not marry a woman of thirty. The first reason is that a lad of that age is not fit to marry any woman of any age. He hasn't come to himself. He doesn't even know what be is going to be himself, still less can he guess what sort of a wife.he is going to need and want. The woman that charms and thrills a boy of twenty bores him stiff wh?n he is twenty-five and is an insupport able affliction when he is thirty. Men s tastes change in women just as mucn as they do in rood, and a man is no more allured at middle aee by the feminine qualities that charmed him in his salad days than his appe tite is piqued by the lollypops on which he was wosit to feast school boy. Marriage is a man's sized job, son. It is not for babes and sucklings. Wait until your shoulders are strong enough to bear its load, and your character and habits are formed. Then you will be able to bring judgment and dis cretion and experience of women to the task of selecting a wife who will really suit you. And she won't be ten years older than you a.r You can gamble on that. You never see a man of thirty marrying a woman of forty unless she has a large and substantial bank account. Another reason why' a boy should not marry a woman much older than he is because they miss the only basis on which matrimony can be made a success, and that is having the same point of view, thinking the same thoughts, and liking to do the same things. This is impossible when there is much disparity in age. ihe boy husband wants the amuse ments, the frivolities, the fun that belongs by right to him in the play time of life, but the wife has arrived at sober middle age when she is tired, and desires to let out her corset strings, and cut down the heels of her shoes and wash off the paint on her face, and be comfortable. She may force herself to drag around with her youthful spouse, but there's no pep or ginger in her forced pretence or pleasure, and she is a misery to her self and a poor play-fellow for Friend Husband. .Still another reason why the mar riage of a boy and a mature woman is a fatal mistake is because it strikes at two of the most pronounced weak nesses in the masculine character. One of these is the fear of ridicule. Men have far less moral courage and are much more conventional than women, as is proven by the fact that every man dresses exactly like his neighbor, and would rather face a barrage fire than wea a hat with a brim a quarter of p.n inch wider or narrower than his fellowsi Now custom has decreed that the wife should be younger than the hus band, and has made the old wife of the young hwsband a figure of fun. Therefore, if an elderly bride possess ed every charm and virtue under the sun it would not keep her young hus band from being ashamed of her, nor prevent him writhing under the tor ture of having some ninny mistake her for his mother,. The other weakness such ,a mar riage probes to its secret bottom is man's pet vanity of posing as the head of the house. No man with a wife older than he is can ever be that. No man ten years younger than his" wife can ever be an oracle to her. She has seen so much more of life, felt so much, more, experienced so much more that she can only be tol erant of his opinions as we are of those of a precocious child. To her he will always be a little boy, to be loved and cherished, and petted and coddled with maternal so licitude, but to be told what to do, and what to eat and made to behave himself, generally. With the most amiable intentions in the world, it is utterly impossible for an eld?rly wife to keep from henpecking her young husband. And of all jealous wivs-under the sun, the elderly wife of the young husband is the moat greeneyed and suspicious. This is inevitably bound to be the case -because she knows in her soul that youth calls to youth and that her own fading charms of body and spirit cannot rival the rosy cheeks, the sparkling eye, the verve? and gayety and dash of girlhood. So though th- husband may be a t- very Joseph, though he be circum spection itself, he may not have even the most platonic of friendships with a young woman, or show ordinary civility to a beautiful young girl with out his wife having her heart torn by every demon of jealousy and wreck ing her fears and suspicions upon his defenseless head. These and a hundred other reasons make it folly for a man to marry a woman ten years older than himself, and a crime for her to marry him. Cradle snatching is a dangerous pas time, both for the snatcher and the snatchee. (Copyright. 1917. hy the Wheeler Byodlrmt. I net BUSINESS OF OVEN'S BY Mm 8.

Mail has been coming quite regulafly lately and that has spoiled me for waiting. Here s hoping that I hear in a day or two. "Have I told you about our inter esting Quaker ambulance driver? I do not think I have. He Is a very conspicuous figure, for he wears his big Quaker hat with his khaki and he has a gray beard. That makes a man conspicuous In these days of smooth faces. "I inquired who he was when he first came to the hospital, for I liked his face, so placid and gentle. It didnot fit in with the nervous wor ried or the determined faces that I saw around me. 'Why, that is good old "Noncombatant" -Foster, they re plied, 'the best old soul in the am bulance corps. He is a Quaker, and you know they do not believe in war on principle, and they think It wrong to bear arms. However, he hates the Boches so cordially that I believe he would Join the army if he were young enough. He was determined to do something and as he Is an ex pert driver he finally got on as am bulance driver. But that is not all he does. That was the wedge that gave him the chance to show what he could do. He is a regular father to all the wounded boys. He writes their letters and hunts up Interesting books for them to read, brings them flowers and dainties. All the faces light up when he omes into the ward.'

Proficiency as guides in close order drills, and particularly as col umn leaders in route n.arching. 2. Aggressive leadership,- especially In drilling, marching, and fighting. S Ability to act as instructors. 4. Thoro knowledge of the elements of field service. 5. Thoro knowledge of Interior guard duty. 6. Skill in range finding and in esti mating distances so as to assist men in firing accurately. 7. Proficiency in leading patrols. j 8. Ability to prepare written mes sages that are clear, complete, and concise. 9. Ability to sketch and read maps.' This list will suggest some of the lines along which non-commissioned officers should work, whenever they have the chance. Many of the non commissioned officers in the national army will be chosen, bt only because of the knowledge or skill they already possess, but also because they show capacity for further development and for leadership.

Clever Jennie 'Wren. Maybe you know how Jennie Wren makes her nest. How neatly she tucks it away In a hole in tree trunk or. better still. If you put out a house for her, how she lives in that pretty little home. But the little wren you see la nearer folks and feels that she has friends. Jennie Wren of the -woods has no neat little bird house nailed up in a tree already for her to use I should say not. She has to find a safe place- and keep it so secluded that Redd Squirrel and Tommy Jay will never find it. Secluded Is a big word.' but it means safe and hidden from all harm and that's Just what Jennie Wren's nest has to be Just exactly. The summer before .this last, Jennie didn't have a very good home. She se lected It in a hurry because she was late coming north and she had to be quick. But this summer, she started north early and when she reached Shadow Woods, there was plenty of time to hunt a good place. She and her mate hunted and hunted: they In spected a score of nesting places and finally chose a tiny hole :n an old haw tree not so very far from the Corn Field. And there the nest was made. But the hole was so small and so cleverly covered that not even the bird neighbors guessed where it was. When one of the wrens wanted to go out, they peeped from the nest and made sure no one was near to watch where they came from. And when they want ed to come back home, they would fly around near for a half day if necessary, rather than to go to that nest while some other bird was watch ing. Do you wonder, with all that care, that the summer passed without iteaay bquirrei or Tommy Jay discov ering that home? I don't. Just the very day before the wrens went south though. Tommy had heard Jennie say to Mr. Wren, "that was a good home we had this summer, let's come to the same place next year." And he had run right off and told Keddy. "We'll fix them now!" he said with a shake of his beautiful head, "we'll hunt through all those trees and bush es till we find that nest if it takes all winter that we will!" 7T Bat the hole was so small and so rler erly covered that not even the bird neighbors gueHxl where It was. And so they had hunted. Such tire some work as it grew to be too! They searched in the tree trunks, in the bushes and even among the grasses though they might have known the wrens didn't nest so low, but no sign of the nest did they find. No wonder they got tired and enm But they never guessed what Jennie Wren had done. Before she eft. she carefully pull ed to pieces her newt and scattered it to the winds. Think of that! "I'd have to build a new one next summer anyway," she said, "and if I destroy this before I go, they'll not find where I lived." And they didn't, aren't you glad DINNER STQRIES The small boy watched the mayor as he sat at his parents' dinner isble with round eyes of wonder.

tHE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALr THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1917 Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash It with. Mont soaptf and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulaified cocoanut. oil (which is pure and en tirely preaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shamiioing, as thia can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa tei and rub it in. One or two tea Mioonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroly. The lather rinse out easily, and removes every pjirticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex cessive oil. The hair dries quickly aid evenly, and it leaves ft fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to marf ae. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store.

SIIEPIIKRD. Stockholm, Sept. 27. "Russia will not make a separate peace but it 'is impossible to say how far the Russian army will go in resisting the enemy," is the opinion of Charles R. Crane, American business man and one of the American commissioners to Rus sia. He reached here today from Petrograd. "There is chaos in Russia," he told the United- Press. "It is exceedingly difficult to draw facts from the con fused situation or to make prophecies in view of rapidly changing conditions. Events move with terrific speed. No one can tell today what will happen tomorrow. "However, the outstanding truth is that the Russian revolution has not shown the Germans that they may im prove their own Rovernment by a simi lar movement. This feeling is reflect ed by German and Austrian prisoners who in many cases are moving free ly about expressing their pity for the Russians' sufferings and discomforts of 'anarchy.'

"Parts of Russia outside of Petro grad are becoming impatient with the capital.

Moscow is disgusted with the way rhings are going in Petrograd, and now does not want to be the capital, fearing similar disorders there.

CONGRESS CONVENES TODAY Agree- That Premier and War Minister To Address It. Moscow Council Turns Against GoTernment at Fetrograd. Petrograd, Sept. 27. (Delayed.) The committee of five in temporary control of the government at its first meeting since the return of Premier Kerensky from the front determined today that the premier and Ge-noral Verkhovsky shah appear befora the democratic congress which convenes tomorrow. This action followed a four-hour session of the committee at the winter palace at which the atti tude of Premier Kerensky is said to have been substantially this: "While the government is not bound to recognize the democratic congress, and is not conceding that ,it represents the greatest part of Rus sia, it is admitted that the congress represents a large percentage ht the people thru elements which must be taken into consideration." In government circles it is under stood that the congress will convene for al short time and then adgourn over one day to begin its activity on Saturday. The time for the appear ance of Premier Kerensky and War Minister Verkhovsky has not been de termined. Reports of the resignation of Foreign Minister Terestchenko, printed in the morning papers, are de- mea orriciaiiy. lienine, Kugitive, Back! The foreign minister attended the conference today. On the eve of thfe opening of the cfngress a sensation has been created by a report that Nikolae Lenine, the extremist leader, has reached the capital from Finland. It is eaid he intends to appear as the chief orator of the Bolshevik! at the congress which he is confident will defend him. The authorities, it is re ported, know where Lenine can be found, but are undecided, whether to carry out an old order for his arrest. The Bolsheviki continue to exert in fluence over the representatives of the provincial councils of workmen's and soldiers' delegates. The president of the Moscow cT)uncil of workmen and soldiers has resigned as a result of the adoption by the council of a reso lution unfriendly to the government. In elections of representatives to the congress the Bolsheviki candidates re ceived the highest votes. The Bolsheviki have begun to ac cuse M. Tseretelli and other moderates of paltering with the bourgeois and have proceeded to Introduce a resolu tion declaring, that the cabinet fee nominated by the congress and mufet not contain members of the bour geois. They propose to place the fol lowing tasks upon the cabinet: Many IH-mands on Cabinet. Settle the Korniloff affair.. Bie abolish capital punishment. Strain efforts to attain peace. To summpn as soon as possible the constituent as sembly. To dissolve the duma and the council of the empire. To transfer the land to the peas ants immediately.

DIVISION AT HOME r i Indication Bavarian King As pires to Kaiser's Throne. His Xote to Pope Reveals Dis satisfaction With Wilhelm. BY fl. W. T. MASON. New York, Sept. 27. Dissension be-' tween Prussia and the south German states may have caused the announce ment that the king ot Bavaria has sent a separate reply to the pope's peace proposal. The pope made his proposal to Ger many thru the papal nuncio at Munich, the capital of Bavaria, but this, is not a sufficient reason why the Bavarian king should decline to permit the kaiser's answer to repre sent Bavaria's position as welL The tone of the kaiser's note to the Vati can contained elements of ruthles ness and showed an autocratic temper that was not present in the Austrian reply. This is probably the basis for Bavaria's objection to the- kaiser's message. The Bavarian royal house Catholic, just as is the imperial dynasty of Austria. In answering the pope therefore, religious factors no less than a more sympathetic regard for democracy, might cause Bavaria to endorse the Austrian answer rather than the Prussian. There are indi cations that this is what has taken place, and that Bavaria's communica tion to the Holy Father is little more than an echo of the wording of the .tiapsburg reply. Able Triumvirate In Bavaria. Bavaria recently has been credited with foreseeing the fall of Prussia as the leading state of Germany. The king of Bavaria and Count Hertling, the premier, have probably been quietly working for some time to take advantage of Prussia's ultimate over throw. The Bavarian monarch has been seeking publicity for himself since the very beginning of the war, while the Bavarian crown prince is the only commander of royal blood who has gained a military reputation from the war. He has far outshone the kaiser's heir as an army leader. count Mertling is the ablest states man in Germany, and would now be chancellor of the empire if he were Prussian instead of Bavarian. These three Bavarians make a formidable triumvirate. They are working, as strongly for Bavaria as the Kaiser is lor Prussia. IJ, democracy and peace come to Germany thru Bavarian leadership it is not imnos- sible that the German capital will be transferred from Berlin to Munich.

The admin istration today, made what were re garded as initial movements toward throwing down the alien slackers' bill, just as it appeared irobable that the house would get eaily action on the measure. These things occurred: First. It was made known at the state department following a lonm conference between Secretary Lans ing and the house military commit tee which has charge of the measure that the United States was already in negotiation with several powers con cerning the questions affected by the bill. Prospects were bright that re ciprocal agreements would be reached by diplomacy obtaining the objects sought by the bill without the neces sity of legislation. Second. Secretary of War Baker flatly stated that the war department had no interest in the measure and that it was not war department legis lation. Provost Marshal General Crowder had examined the Chamber lain resolution he said, but not be cause of the department's interest in it. These developments occurred after it had been noised about, that Presi dent Wilson was getting ready to "knock the alien slacker bill in the head." Made into law in its proposed form, it was stated, the bill would have an after the war effect on Amer icans abroad that this country might not desire. In addition the state de partment had received such persistent protests from nations whose nationals were affected that the "situation was extremely delicate."

AVERTED WAR PANIC Federal Reserve System Saved Ik nks of U. S Says Goebel. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 27. "Peace seems ta long way off, but whether it comes this year or next or years hence, it will be unworthy the name if it is not the peace of victory," President Peter V. Goebel of the American Bankers association de clared today at the annual convention of that organization. "To the victory we desire and are going to have, we need not look with a blush of shame. We desire no con quests of land or men. Now, as in the past, we seek only freedom for those enslaved and more freedom for ourselves the right to go unmolest ed where commerce leads us." Next Loan Big Success. He declared that American bank ing was solidly with the .government in the financial war. The next lib erty loan, he predicted, should be more of a success than the first, be cause the nation's war machinery is working better. The federal reserve system, he said, had saved the nation from financial panic in the war crisis. Goebel emphasized that all wealth came from the people and that money for financing the war must all come from the people. The only way they can be in a position to supply it, he declared, was by the practice of thrift and by efficiency. NOT "FIRST TO FIGHT" Report U. S. Marines Withdrawn From Pershing Force Is Surprise. American Training Camp in France, Sept. 27. (By the Associated Press.) --The American marines, who have been with Major General Sibert's command, have now all been with drawn from it and split up into pro vost guards in dozens of villages and cities of France, some of them also going to England. They still hope, however, for service in the trenches, for they were among the most forward troops in grasping every de tail of modern warfare. Is News to War Oepartment. Washington, Sept. 27. Xo report on the separation of the marines regi ment from Major General Sibert's command had been received by the war or navy departments today, and officials regarded it with some sur prise. It was not interpreted, however, as meaning that the marines are not to see actual service at the front, but rather that the need for their services in provost guard work in which thev are most proficient is at this time ioxe pressing. The dispatch of the regiment of 2,700 marines to General Pershing's forces was in keeping with the tradi tion of "First to fight" the watch word of the corps which now has been recruited to its full newly authorized war strength in expectation of active service at the front. BERNSTORFF SPY CHIEF Gov't and "Well Informed Knew It Two Years Ago, Says Roosevelt. Chicago, Sept. 27.

A BABY IN COURT Little Foundling To Be De clared Abandoned Today. Two Local Societies Want To Take Her. The baby that was found lying on the roadside near Topeka last week was in the limelight again this after noon and there was quite a bit of ex citement in the office of Probate Judge Gaw when the appointed time came for taking the first legal steps in the case, these steps being to have the Irttle foundling girl declared aban doned and officially placed in the hands of responsible persons. Miss Kate King, welfare worker of the Foster Humane society, who has been interested ip the case and who Blaced the baby in the hands of a pri vate family was present, to ask that the child be placed in the hands of her society and Mrs. Alary' Anthony, of the Topeka Orphans' home, also was present and stated that she would like to have the little girl turned over to her home. No one except Miss King and Sheriff Larimer has known where the baby has been kept since it left the Lari mer home and this afternoon Miss King refused to state who had it or to tell who would bring it before the court, despite the fact that it was ex pected to be brought in at any mo ment. This added an atmosphere of mystery to the case that has already caused more speculation and conjec lurning than any case that has been brought up for some time. Mrs. Mary Anthony, of the Topeka Orphans home, said she did not in tend to make any big fight for the baby, bait that she would like to have it and wanted to know why it was not turned over to her organization to start with, her organization being established to take over just such cases. Both Mrs. Anthony and Miss King say they have dozens of applications for the baby and as soon as it is offi cially declared abandoned and placed in the hands of one of these organiza tions, adoption papers will be applied for and the little misB will soon have a good home provided, it is asserted. Mrs. Hpgh Larimer finally appeared in court with the baby and Judge Gaw lost no time in taking up the case and in placing the little girl in charge of the Topeka Orphans' home. Bennett R." Wheeler, attorney for the Foster Humane society, registered a protest against turning the baby over to the Topeka Orphans home, stating that it was a reflection on the Foster society, but Judge Gaw said he thought the usual custom should be followed in the case and gave this as his reason for giving the baby to ttee Orphans' home. INCREASE LIVESTOCK Heavy Immigration After War Will Necessitate More Meat, Nt w Orleans, La., Sept. 27. Women in men's jobs in Europe after the war will drive many men to America to seek fortunes, George M. Rommel, of the United States bureau of animal industry, declared today at the meet ings of the Cut Over Land association. He said this would rapidly make immigration into this country as heavy as before the war, cause a steadily increasing population here and neces sitate huge meat supplies to feed Americans at home as well as Europeans abroad. Europe after the war, he predicted, would want unprecedented quantities of American meat and breeding stock. To supply this demand, he urged that millions of acres of former timber land in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan sas and Texas be used for the animal industry. SWAMP CAMP FUNSTON Acute Shortage of Equipments Delay i Third Contingent. Camp Funston, Kan., Sept. 27. Officers in charge of supplies for the national army- have requested Major General Leonard Wood to postpone the coming of the third contingent un til adequate arrangements can be made to care for the men, it was learned today. The acute shortage in equipment and the lack of good roads and proper transportation facilities had made it impossible to properly care for the men already in the cantonment, the officers admitted, and the arrival of more drafted men would hopelessly complicate the situation, they said.

With the British Armies in the Field. Sept. 27. Very heavy German shelling this afternoon had apparently, forced the British to retire slightly in the area of Kill No. 40, immediately north of Zonnebeke. The Zonnebeke railway station, in consequence, is again In German hands. However, outside the town and northeastward, the major portion of the advances remain in control of the British. Further counter-attacks late today won the German minor local posts in the region of Winzig farm and Vale house, but British troops in desper ate fighting wrested back some of these points. The same violent combat brought relief today to a detachment of Argyll and Sutherland HigUlanders who had been cut off 24 hours from their lines and who, despite the fact that they were without water, food or additional supplies, nevertheless re fused to surrender and kept the Ger mans at bay. HELD UP SCALES Coal Plans of G. A. Porter Have Been Frustrated. Plans of G. A. Porter to "smash th Hoxie coal trust" have been frustrat ed by the refusal of the alleged trust to permit Porter to use their scales for weighing coal. Porter today asked the state to interfere. According to Porter's letter, two Hoxie coal dealers agreed on prices. So Porter volunteered to smash the combination. He ordered a car of coal which he proposed to sell at prices far below those of the alleged trust magnates. When the coal ar- J rived, tho. Porter found that the two coal dealers owned the only scales in town. In order to dispose of his coal, it was necessary to weigh the indi vidual loads. But the so-called trust refused to weigh Porter's coal. Now the car of coal is standing on a Rock Island side .rack and Porter can't make deliveries until his fupl supply is weighed- a letter which j Porter sent Governor Capper today was referred to S. M. Brewster, attor- j ney general. QUITS RUSS COUNCIL Premier, Kerensky Resigns from Workmen-Soldiers' Bureau. Petrograd, Sept. 27.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27. 1917 IS READY TO QUIT Bulgaria ot Interested in Kai ser's 3Iid-Europe Empire. Preferred Allies, but Germany Made Better Offer. ATTAINED ALL SHE SOUGHT To Regain Dobrudja Mace donia and Part of Serbia. Made Offer to Entente To March on Constantinople. BY A- K. JOHXSOX. Washington, Sept. 27. Bulgaria is not interested in Kaiser Vilh;Im's dream of a mittel Kuropa empire. In an interview with the Inited Press to flav, Stephan Tanaretoff, liulg -irian minister to the I nited State, said his country had attained the sole ends for which it entered the war and is ready to quit, providing she can keep the territory "which by lansruaee. nation ality and historic rijfht belongs to her." Bulgaria, he said, would have pre ferred to have fought on the si do of the allies, but Germany made a more acceptable business proposition. Hurt One Object In View. "Bulgaria entered the world war with one object in view reffatninK robriidja, Macedonia and parta of Serbia which were unjustly taken from her during the Balkan war and In the treaty of 1870," taid l'anaretoff, t rank ly. "She had no particular love for the central powers in fact, a few years before had been at war with Turkey. As the price of entorinp: the war she asked restoration of former territory, which, by F'resident Wilson's own statement of 'national boundaries' rhtfully belongs to her. "Bulgaria would have preferred to join the allies. Hut they offered restoration of her territory providing Serbia would consent to take in ex change ot her territory presumably wrested from Austria-Hungary or Turkey. Our prime minister even Ftated to the allies that within twenty-four hours of the acceptance of Bulgaria's terms, our army would be marched on Constantinople. German Offer I'niiiialifieJ." "Germany's offer was unqualified. Tobrudja and Macedonia were to be restoied. We Joined the central pow ers not because we had to but be ca use we deliberately chose to. "Now Bulgaria has attained those en is for which she entered the war. She i.s ready for peace according to no le.ss authority than Prime Minister Kadonlavoff and wants nothing but which by language, nationality and historic right belongs to her. She hits no interest in Germany's reported dream of a Mittel Kuropa. nor in elimination of the Hohenzoilerns. "Our armies have not participated on any bat Me front except against Serbia and Rumania. They are hold- jng what they have won. As far as j 1 know,, they will not fight with the! Teutons against France or Kngland and will engage iri no offensive except to maintain territory which is now occupied. "Bulgaria has not regretted join-, ing the central powers. She has at tained what she sought territory which is now and always has been Bulgarian." TIE UP STEEL PLANT i 350 Snlk'hmcn Quit Work Demand ing 70 and 75 Cents au Hour. Gary, Ind. Sept. 27. Operations of the big United States steel corpora tions mills at Gary, Ind., and South Chicago, 111., largely on war contracts were curtailed today by an unheralded strike of approximately 350 switch- i men employed by the Elgin, Joliet and eastern railroad.

Rogers, vice president of the road which is a belt line of great impor tance in the terminal facilities of Chi cago and environs, the men met last nisht and decided to strike. They approached our superinten dent at Gary with a demand for more wages. He asked who Was their spokesman, but there was none. Eacn man spoke for himself," explained Mr. Rogers. "The superintendent said h-3 had no authority to act. He wanted time to communicate with his super iors. They paid no attention to this and did not report for work this morning." Thro 25,000 Out or Work. About 2 5.000 workers in the steel mills in this city and South Chicago will be thrown out of employment un less the strike is adjusted soon. In the Gary yards there are 22 loco motives, of which six were operated today. At South Chicago there ara 26. Four of these were working. The day switchmen ask an increase from 38 ceals. the present hourly scale, to 70 cents, and the night men, now drawing 40 cents, ask for 75 cents, llailroad officials said they had not had time to learn whether German propaganda had anything to do with the suddei revolt.

BY'CLUG" IT'S NIP AND TUCK Infields of World's Series Con tenders Eyenly Matched. Collins and Herzog Are Shining Stars. the (BY JACK VEIOCK.) New York, Sept. 27. A comparison of the White Sox and Giant infielders, whose work in the coming world's series will be highly important, re veals that there is little to choose one way or the other if figures are to be taken as a basis for sizing them up. Figures never lie, we are told, yet no set of figures ever compiled has shown how ball players compare in anything else but mechanical ability on the field of play.' For instance, the batting, fielding and base-running figures do not show that Eddie Col lins is a lightning thinker or that Charley Herzog is one of the smart est ball players in the game. Neither do they show that Artie Fletcher, Buck "Weaver or Heinle Zimmerman are players who have an abnormal abundance of fighting spirit. So all that can be gotten from the average covering the greater part of the present season is a line on the mechanical ability of the rival in fielder who will clash in the world's series this fall, and because up-to-the-minute fielding figures are una vailable, and batting averages do not indicate what the players may do in a seven-game series, much must be taken from observations of the work races. Holke vs. Gandil. At first base it appears to the writer that Holke may be counted on to stand off Chick Gandil. Holke is the poorer fielder of the two, but during the present season he has learned much about playing the bag that he never knew before, and, although he may waver at times, he does not lose his head. Holke is Gandil's superior at the bat, for he has been hitting around .300 of late, while Gandil lurks around the .270 mark. Gandil's long experience is a point in his favor, but all in all it looks like fifty-fifty. At second base the White Sox must be given the edge. Eddie Collins is an all-around better player than Buck Herzog, and, though both men are quick thinkers, who know baseball in side out, Collins is a Bplit-second the fastest in the use of gray matter. Collins is also a better hitter. He has been outhitting Herzog by more than fifty points, and because of Herzog's spinal injury, which may eventually force him to retire from the game as a regular, his fielding effectiveness cannot be compared to that of the lightning-fast, sure-footed Collins. Shortstop Talent. The Giants will even up the count at shortstop, however. Artie Fletcher has it over Swede Risberg in hitting by some fifty points and is practically as sure a fielder, though a step lower, than the Chicago youth. Both play ers are peppery performers. Both lend courage to their mates on the infield, because they are sure fielders and because, they fight till the last man is out; but Fletcher's long exper ience and his hitting, not to mention his ability to take throws to the key stone sack and put the ball on the runners, gives him the call. And now comes the closest compari son of all that between Heinie Zim merman and George Weaver, who, it is expected, will be fit as a fiddle and as full of fight and ginger as ever by the time the big series starts. Here are two players whose work around third base is both brilliant and con sistent. There are many critics who will say hat Weaver is the better fielder, yet Zimmerman has perform ed better this year as a fielder than ever before, and makes some wonder fully flashy stops. The only point against Zim is his temperament, for he is a player who is liable to go up in the air under fire from the oppos ing bench, because he is prone to lose his temper. Weaver is a fighter, too, but much more level-headed than the Great Zim. As a batsman Zimmerman has shown himself to be some twenty five points better than Weaver on the season, but the Chicagoan is always a dangerous man with the bludgeon, and both players have taught the pitchers of opposing clubs to respect them in the pinches. Of the two Zim hits the ball hardest and farthest when he gets a toe-hold. O11 the Rases. In base running the White Sox in fielders are superior, but the Giants, as a whole, are perhaps better rough-and-ready hitters, and they lack noth ing in the line of ginger. If Weaver does not play in the big series the Giants will have an edge, for McMul len is not to be compared with Zim- 8TASDING OF THE TEAMS. National Lea sac. Clobs Won Lost Pet.

WORLD'S SERIES PLAYERS Who's Who in Big Diamond Classic of the Year. FRED ANDERSON This young man was a bear when in the Federal league. With Bill Rariden he formed the star battery of that circuit. His spitballs, however, have lasted on an average tf about six innings in the National league. His effectiveness for a few innings never has been ques tioned, but his ability to blow sud denly, disastrously and unexpectedly may keep him from doing more than relief work in the big series. He is a capable right-hander while his stuff lasts. AL DEMAREB Al is a cartoonist which should change the luck around, but hasn't. Al is the luckiest man in baseball, not excepting Jack Berry or any of the others who have earned the title of luckiest. John McGraw took Al intcJ the big leagues, but got tired of having him around along in 1914, so sluffed him off to Philadel phia, where he got in on the pie when Philadelphia won the National league pennant. After Al left the Giants he made it his ambition in life to trim the Giants often and effectively. He did it with such precision and regular ity that the impression prevails that McGraw came to the conclusion he would have been better off if he had kept the big right-hander, so he trad ed Pete Kilduff, one of the infield finds of the year, to Chicago and got Al back. Al is still there throwing baseballs with his right hand and chewing big black cigars with his front teeth. FERDINAND SCHUPP This youth is the most brilliant achievement John McGraw has offered the baseball pub lic for many a year. He flashed right into the hall of fame almost in a sin gle stride last summer when he ne gotiated a huge share of the Giants' record-breaking run of victories.
