POPE MAY CARRY PEACE PROPOSAL TO PEOPLE VOTE Announces Himself in Sympa thy With Socialists in Italy. "And Elsewhere in So Far as They Safeguard Democracy." FORESEE A RADICAL TEP "Peace, Prerogative of Parlia ments Responsible to People." This Coincides With Wilson's liefusal To Deal With Kaiser. 11 V JOHN" H. HEARLEY. Rome, Oct. 2. Pope Benedict is apparently seeking support of his peace plans from the people of bellig erent nations, since his appeal to the rulers, has so far been ineffective. Direct approval by the Holy Father of certain socialistic aims was attributed to him in separate statements today. The greatest significance was at tached to an editorial in the Osserva tore Romano, a newspaper frequently regarded as the Vatican's official organ, and which it was believed was approved by the pope. The editorial declared the Holy See "was in agree ment with the Socialists of Italy and elsewhere insofar as they were seek ing to safeguard democratic liberty and protect constitutional rights by legal means." Those who professed to see the pope taking the radical step of sympathiz ing with socialistic ideals read the Osservatore Romano's comment in connection with a bitter editorial at tack in the newspaper Corriere d Italia on German Foreign Secretary Kuehlemann. Thru these two edi torials, he held, the Vatican had con-' trived a diplomatic hint ,to Germany as well as a bit of counsel to the Ger man people, and especially the Ger man Catholics. Sympathy for Russ Republic. Another direct intimation of the Vatican's position in development of the people's rule was in the pope's words of greeting: to a new Russian diplomatic representative accredited to the Holy See. Interviewed by the United Press to day this Russian flatly denied that the pope favored a reactionary Russia. He said his holiness expressed person al sympathy with Russia's democracy, regarding the revolutionary movement as political and social evolution. "I found the pontifical mind agreed." this diplomat asserted, "that peace is the exclusive prerogative of parliaments responsible to the people, or the people themselves." If the Russian envoy correctly Quotes the pope it makes the Vatican view dovetail with that expressed by President Wilson as the basic plank in the world peace platform that United States will not deal for peace with Germany until the German peo ple can have a voice in the .empire's peace guarantees. MINERS STILTbALK Itejctt Wage Advance of $1 a Day Offered by Operators; Ask SI. 90. Washington, Oct. A compro mise wage advance olfered the bitum inous coal miners in the joint confer ence here today was rejected ly the I'niteU Mine Workers. Kf forts to reach a satisfactory adjustment will continue. The operators' offer and a compari son with the original demands of the miners are as follows: "1 Contract for the period of the war." The miners object to being tied up to an inaeiinite contract. They favor a two-year contract. Advance of 5 cents per ton pick and machine mining." The miners asked 3 5 cents. "3 Advance of $1 per day to day laborers with exception of trappers and other boys, who are to be ad vanced F.0 cents per day." The miners asked $1.90 advance on all day labor ers. Yardage and dead work to be advanced per cent in Ohio and Pennsylvania and an equal amount in cents per yard in Indiana and Illinois." This is a slight change from the miners' original demands, but is sat isfactory to them. Contract to contain rigid pro visions for its enforcement." This de mand originated with the operators, but probably will be accented bv the t miners. Contract to be tentative sub ject to the approval of the federal fuel administrators and if not so approved to be null and void." Both sides, are confident of obtaining government ap proval. The figures are already be ing collected to cover any advance In wages by an increase in the price of coal at the mines, w hich advance will be passed down to the public.

Three Brit ish nurses and some Mounded soldiers were killed. London, Oct. 2. In last night's air raid ten persons were killed and thirty-eight injured. La.st night's raids were far less damaging than previous ones, despite much greater noise and excitement, a survey revealed today. In point of gun fire, the latest raid was the big gest London has ever seen. Time and again German planes sought to pierce what was literally a wall of shrapnel and explosive bullets thrown up into the moonlit skies around London. Several succeeded in finding rifts in the barrage and it was their bombs, falling mostly in the thickly settled southwest end of London, that caused a majority of the casualties. Lord French, commander-in-chief of home defense forces, in announcing the official casualty list today declared that not a single British aeroplane had been lost in recent engagements where the British airmen fought the in vaders. ITbmlon KxptH-ted Itaiil. London Gct. t- Londoners, de spite the repeated German attempts to drop bombs upon the city, are standing the test well. Last night when two squadrons of raiders suc ceeded in getting close to London and some of their number over the city, there was no panic and no untoward incidents. Immediately the coming of the raiders was signalled the people in the streets scurried for cover while motor buses and carts drew up to the curb where the passengers alighted quickly. Within five minutes the streets were deserted and a strange 'silence fell over the city. Most of the offices and shops had closed before 6 o'clock to permit their emploj-es to reach their homes and there was only a fraction of the usual number of persons on the street. With the gathering of dusk many of the poorer classes, particularly the women and children, had gathered at the tube stations around the Guild hall and St. Paul's and other places of refuge. The police and special constables aligned them in files and when the warning was given they were shepherded into the refuges without confusion or crowding. Theaters Have Small Crowds. The theaters which are open had small audiences and the majorit of restaurants were almost deserted. The air battles over London have become so much a matter of course that when ever there was a lull for a few min utes in the firing the buses started running again and the people flocked into the streets. While a terrific barrage was kept up with the bursting shrapnel furnish ing one of the greatest pyrotechnical displays London ever saw, a thrilling battle in the air took place between the enemy aircraft and British avia tors in the northern district, according to special constables who said they witnessed it by means of powerful binoculars. Altho the machines were (Continued ori Pace Tw. new briga'diefTgens. War iX'partment Assigns Xine to Xcw Army Camp. Washington, Oct. 2.

Haywood Wrote Book on Hoiy To Paralyze 'ation. KEROSENE 0?S0LD!ER BREAD Told Lieutenants To Put Emery Dust in Machinery Gears. Slake America Lose the War Was Aim or Order. Chicago, Oct. 2. A nation-wide plot to paralyze industries, thwart military operations, obstruct conscrip tion and cause America to lose the war is divulged in the evidence upon which 165 members of the I. W. W. j were indicted in Chicago. William L). Haywood of Chicago. In- ternationa! secretary and treasurer. md Frank Little, who was lynched in Hutte. Mont., are alleged to have been the rins leaders. Others frequently! mentioned in the indictments are nnlpn H. "h;iplin, Itichard liraxier, William Wiretola., James Kowan, Francis Miller and f'hrales L. Lam bert, i About half the indictpd men are un- der arrest, federal officials stated to- I day. Search for the others is being j carried on in all parts of the country. Indictment Covers 40 Pages. The in tment. which covers forty printed pages, alleges 15.0Q0 offenses, under ten specific charges. .S.itne of the most startling plans of the I. W. W. are contained in a book which Haywood sent to Duluth to be translated into Finnish for the bafiefit of aKitatc-s. "We are Roing to take over the in dustries some day for three very good reasons: Because we need them; be cause we want them, and because we have the power to ge: them," it was declared. "Whether we are ethically justified or not is not our concern. 1 "Is a strike contemplated by the most indispensable workers those of the elementary trades? A quart of kerosene or other greasy and malodor ous matter, poured or smeared on the level of an oven and welcome the scabs or scabby soldiers to come ftnrt bake the bread. "Is a strike coming in the iron, steel, copper or other mineral indus try? A little sand or emery powder in the gear of those machines and they will become useless." As a means of paralyzing the rail roads, the Haywood book suggests that "it would be well to choose these workers among the most skilled and Experienced which would, by A single stroke, disable and render use less for several days, the materials necessary for the. regular performance erf the service and the movement of trains." "Old Bugaboo Patriotism." In a letter Kowan wrote Haywood from Seattle, August 2, 1S17, he said: "The old bugaboo of 'patriotism' is being preached on all sides. "We have the good will of the Ger man people here and we feel that they art1 in sympathy with our cause. "We are going to carry our points If we have to stop every industry on the Pacific coast. We did not declare war, and we have not consented to the working man giving up his liberty and being drafted." The newspaper "Solidarity," on Au gxiHt 2, stated: j "Anyone with good sense now ob jects to being told that Czar Wilson is working for the interest of the working class in trying to force them against their wills into the bloody iSnrcnean slaughter test." Jn another issue it declared: Then if war is declared, let us by all means pull off the gen eral strike to prevent it. What is more simple Otto Ohristensen, chief counsel for the 1. W.

W. leaders named in indictments returned here last Friday was made today in various army cantonments, where, it is learned, a number of the men sought are in national service. A careful check of all the registered men is now being made by federal au thorities who assert it will only be a matter of a short time until all of the 166 indicted men are under arrest. Officials here attach significance to the presence of the indicted men in the cantonments, all of whom are said to have gone into service without claiming exemption. One of the charges made in the Indictment is "the discovery of certain efforts of the 1. W. W. to create among the registered men a feeling of disloyalty and insubordination." Robert T. Neil, assistant United States district attorney, and James R. Glass left for Freeport, 111., today, where they will assist in the prosecu tion of the cases against Clyde Hough, James Cully and Kmil Strum, all members of the I. W.

Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese commission, was on record today as reiterating his pledge that Japan would maintain an open door in China, protect China against aggression and would not it self violate that nation's territorial rights. Speaking to a gathering of editors and city officials last night, he made these statements, but declared Japan's attitude should not be construed as a Monroe doctrine in Asia, as several New York paper styled. "I want to make it clear to you," he said, "that the application of the term 'Monroe doctrine' to this policy and principle, voluntarily enunciated and .pledged by me, is inaccurate There is this fundamental difference between the Monroe doctrine of the United States as to Central and South America and Japan's attitude toward China. In tlrfe first there is on the part of the United States no engage ment nor promise, while in the other Japan voluntarily announces that Japan will herself engage not to vio late the political or territorial integ rity of her neighbor."

When the echoes of this fight died away the anti-aircraft gun fire in the city ceased but it could be heard in the distance, indicating that the enemy was being driven off under a heavy bonrhardment. Raider Gets Lost In Ust. According to a report from an Essex district a heavy mist, which came up while the rsftd was in prog ress, caused one raider to lose his way while going back to the coast. The German flew very low and could be seen clearly and appeared to be en veloped in a ring of bursting shells. Seemingly trapped the airman began a series of dips" and other hair raising stunts. He succeeded in breaking thru the shell fire and made for sea, pursued by a streak of gun fire. As soon as the signal was given in London that all was clear, the streets. tubes, restaurants and hotels resem bled New York on election night There were great crowds everywhere laughing and joking and many were singing. Others were searching in the bright moonlight for fragments of shrapnel for souvenirs. Altho details' were slow in coming in, it was ap parent that the barrage of the anti aircraft guns again was effective in thwarting the German efforts. ATTENTION!

But He Wasn't, New York, Oct. 2. Juan T. Burns. Mexican consul general here, today charged Mexicans have been given no consideration and that the vice con sul. Jesus Martinez, has been drafted. He bitterly attacked New York's draft boards, likening them to Villa's "sav age hordes in their refusal to consider human rights." Charles H.

Protest Drafting Mexicans. Washington, Oct. 2. The Mexican ambassador. Ignacio Bonillas, has made forma! representations to the state department against the drafting of Mexicans, particularly from the border states. In some cases where it is shown that Mexicans have been taken thru irregular practice of the exemption boards, the state depart ment has had the men released. In other cases, however, the cases are complicated because of the differ ence in the constitutions of the two countries. Mexico holds that a man born abroad of Mexican parentage is a Mexican unless he voluntarily forfeits his citizenship. The United States holds that a person born here is an American citizen.

The department of ag riculture in ita final condition report of the season today announced a' der cline of 7.4 points in cotton's condi tion during the month, caused princi pally by boll worms and weevils'. 0001 weather, drouth, shedding, wilt, blight, lack of potash in fertilizer and in the extreme eastern belt storm damage also caused Voss. Dar age for. the recent West Indian hurricane was small, the area affected being comparatively small producing terri tory and the crop there largely picked Picking of cotton is general and is being pushed except in the northern part of the belt, the department of ag riculture reported. "There is complaint." it says, "of a scarcity of pickers in many sections. This is attributed to a migration of negro farm hands during the winter and spring, the volunteering and 'se lection' of men for military duties, cantonment work and the heavy de mands for labor in the sawmills, cot ton factories and kindred industries thruout the south. With favorable weather at prevailing prices for the staple, no cotton will go to waste in the fields this year.

NOW UNDER ARREST IN PARIS Brother, of Prelate, He Had Spectacular Career. Subsidizing Press for Germany, Bolo Pasha's Specialty. New York, Qct. 2. Secret service agents in this city have a detailed record of the American activities of Bolo Pasha, held in I'aris for having relations with Germany. He is ac cused of subsidizing French papers in the interest of the enemy. Bolo Pasha arrived in the United States in February, 1915. it is de clared. He was wei equipped with '3 gold, opened accounts in several banks, conferred with German ppics, launched several pro-German week lies and met publishers of newspapers which afterward manifested pro-German inclinations. Brother of Monsipnor Bolo. Paris, Oct. 1. Bolo Pasha charced with having relations with tlft enemy, according to a story of his carver ap pearing in the Matin, wan born in Marseilles. At first he was a clerk to a notary. He is a brother of Mon aignor Bolo, one of the most eloquent preachers of the Catholic church in France, and had an easy access to an honorable career, but chose occupa tions that were varied and hazardous. His business ventures begun with a scheme for the wholesale catching and shipment of lobster. This cost his partner a considerable sum. After failing in several other enterprises, Bolo Pasha came to I'aris and started a sort of information bureau. Jt be came the target for numerous com plaints, culminating in th oondeinna tion of Bolo by default for buse of confidence and swindling in ly-i. He then went to Valencia, Spain, where, under the name of Berner, h? opened a cafe that was much f ri'iiuented by the French colony. Married Rich Widow. In 1903, the Matin says, he turned up at Bordeaux, where he married a widow who had an annual Income of 70.000 francs. He then enlarged his field of operations, appearing at Lyons as an agent for champagne and other wines. Bolo, the newspaper adds, was conspicuous in the riots in Ghampagne Sr when the wine growers there, in a protest against the use of wine from outside Champagne for making spar kling wines under the name of cham pagne, devastated the vineyards of big French companies, while those owned by Germans were left unharmed. It was in June, 1914, that Bolo met Abbas Hilmi, then khedive of Egypt. He at once became a trusted agent in the enterprise for the exploitation of real estate owned by the khedive, and for the protection of the khedive's in terest In the Suez canal and in Egypt ia event Xhat circumstances might compel Great Britain to repudiate the khedive. 1 he project, however, was not carried to completion. Bolo Pasha, the Matin declares, communicated again with Abbas Hilmi in Switzerland shortly after Great Britain had deposed Abbas as khedive and thru the ex-khedive entered into relations with German agents. Warrant for French Kclitor. Paris, Oct. 1. A warrant has been been issued for the arrest of Gaston Routier, a French subject, who found ed the pacifist newspaper La Paix at Madrid, with funds supposed to have r been furnished by Bolo Pasha. The publication aroused the indignation of the French colony in the Spanish cap ital on account of its Germanophile tendency.

MASON. New York, Oct. 2. The United States has won its first important vic tory of war. thru the acknowledg ment of Viscount Ishii that America s trade rights to China will not be Inter fered with by Japan and that Japan pledges herself to preserve China s in dependence. This American success will rank sec ond only to the overthrow of kaiser ism and the establishment of democ racy in Germany. It is the direct re sult of America's participation in the war and by itself alone is more than sufficient return for America's bellig erency. Had the United States re mained neutral, there would have been no Japanese mission to the United States; there would have been no such gigantic war preparations as America is now putting forth; Japan would not have been impressed by the immense power behind America's benevolent at titude toward China and the old mis understandings probably would have continued to the end of a trans-Pacific conflict. Instructed by Tokio. Viscount Ishii, one of Japan's shrewdest statesmen, however, has had the opportunity of looking Ameri ca over in war time and the result has been to change practically over night the fundamental basis of Japanese American relations. By no possibility could the head of the Japanese mis sion have pledged his country to the open door in China, as far as the United States is concerned, without previous instructions from his govern ment. It is apparent Viscount Ishii has been in intimate communication! with Tokio since fris arriva,1 in the United States and his present pledge has all the authority of an official communication. The American government has been vainly trying for years to secure from Japan just such a public assurance as Viscount Ishii has now given. Gov ernments operate their diplomacy by means of precedents, and Viscount Ishii has established for Japan the most far-reaching precedent in Ori ental affairs since America first opened the question of the open door. LIBERTY LOANAPPEAL Secretary Lane Asks Ransans to Sub scribe in Wichita Speech. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 3. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, speak ing before 10,000 people at the open ing the international wheat show here, appealed to the people of this section of the United States to help in the liberty loan campaign, which was floated Monday by William G. Mc Adoo, secretary of the treasury. In part, Mr. Lane said: "I am here to ask your help in the name of the president and the secre tary of the treasury. We have placed upon the market a new issue of liberty bonds. Our appeal on behalf of the nation is to the people of the nation. This is a fi$ht for democracy and we, are following democratic methods. There was a day not long past when no government could make war with out asking the consent of those who were the money masters. The founda tion of our financial resources is the wealth and willingness our our peo ple. A war for democracy should be supported by the money of democ racy.' In an interview Mr. Lane said he had traveled thru the west to see how the people felt about the war, and he found them as loyal as anywhere in the east. "The reports that have come from Oklahoma against opposition to the war I have found to be greatly exag gerated, and the people in that state are as loyal as anywhere in the na tion." WOMEN DOCTORS TO GO I'nit of 100 Xot a Man in It In. eludes Chauffeurs and Mechanics. New York, Oct. 2. The day of the woman army surgeon is dawning, in the opinion of Caroline Finley of New York, who will lead the first del tachment of women doctors to go from America to the front. "We are going over primarily to care for the women and children suf fering from war's illnesses and in juries," it was said today at Ne York headquarters of the unit. "But in emergencies we will be ready to re inforce the army surgeons in their work with the wounded. When the time comes, we will stand with the others in the hospitals behind the lines, ready to do our part in dress ing the wounds of the soldiers." This unit of women surgeons and assistants is nearly 100 strong. The French government has accepted its services, as the United States v.as unable to do so. There is not a man in it. Mechanics, chauffeurs, plumb ers and electricians are women. The ranks of the women doctors include many specialists, also dentists, and the party has forty-one nurses. THREE KILLED IN STRIKE Two Ambush Officers With Warrant and Are Shot Clerk Slain. Harlan. Ky., Oct. 2. Three persons were dead here today victims of the strike which has tied up coal mines of this vicinity. The dead are Grant and Luther Shipman, killed in a bat tle with county authorities when County Judge War attempted to serve warrants in connection with the strike. The officials were ambushed. They returned the tire and the Shipmans were killed. Posses were searching today for other members of the party who par ticipated in the ambush, and for the slayers of Lawrence Scott, clerk of the White Star Coal company, killed Saturday.

EY'CLUG" HAVE GOOD TEAM Santa Fe Apprentices Prepare for Big Football Season. Manager Oberer Is Anxious To Schedule Local Games. Fred C. Oberer, manager of the Santa Fe Apprentice football team this season, announced today that he has bright prospects for the coming sea son and that he is now open for en gagement bookings, both in Topeka and in other cities. "We have eighteen men out," Mana ger Oberer announces, "and we expect to have a team that will furnish real opposi'tion for any opponents we take on. We would like to get a game here for next Sunday, if possible." The football team of the-Apps, like their baseball team, will travel over the Santa Fe system and will play road teams in other plaees. Already games have been booked with the shop men at Fort Madison, la., and Cha nute, Kan. C. Holzel is coach of the team this season and is rapidly getting his men into first class shape. Practice is held every evening at Santa Fe park, where all the local games will be played. Louis, Vigneron is captain of the team. Those who wish to communicate with Manager Oberer about games can either write him at the Santa Fe shops or call him over the telephone at 26a3 Red. WORLD'S SERIES PLAYERS Who's Who in Big Diamond Classic of the Year. Arnold C. Gandil Just how they managed to get a "Chick" for a nickname out of a name like Arnold isn't recorded in baseball's history, tout the figures do show that this veteran of American league experience has been a dangerous hitter at every stage of his career, with the possible excep tion of the year he is just winding up with the Sox. His hitting average has fallen off considerably of late, but he is still considered one of the American league's most dangerous batsmen. It was in 1912 that Wash ington paid Gandil's training camp ex penses and gave him a steady job. He was there until a deal sent him to Cleveland and thence to Chicago. Two of his Washington years were graced with .300 and better averages. Edward Trowbridge Collins They said Eddie was slipping when the sea son opened and he failed to begin hit ting about .340. But it was found to be all wrong. He isn't hitting .300 yet, but his a verage has steadily grown heavier. In addition Collins is playing perhaps the most remarkable fielding game of his career. As a steadier for Risberg, on one side of him, Collins has proven invaluable, for it was in that position that a real ball player was needed to make the White Sox pennant winners. Collins is a product of Connie Mack's method of developing collegians. He was captain and second baseman of Columbia uni versity's team in 1905. Connie Mack signed him in 1907 and played his first year under the name of Sullivan, in order to escape ineligibility at Columbia. He was recognized, how ever, and began to play under his own name. He became a regular with the Athletics in 1908. Xate in 1914 he was sold to the White Sox. Swede Risberg It isn't hard to fig ure out how this long, lanky infielder became endowed with the sobriquet under which he won a place in the American league. He simply is and that settles it. Altho a youngster, Ris berg is expected by Charles Comiskey to prova his world's series star. He is a long hitter one who is likely to kick anybody's ball game all over the field at an unexpected moment. He is a good fielder and is steadily prog ressing as a level-headed young man. under the wise tutelage of Eddie Col lins and Buck Weaver. He came from the Pacific Coast league last spring. George D. Weaver Like many stars now in the majors. Buck first played professional baseball in the Southern. Michigan league. The rec ords don't show where he learned his repartee, but he is called a star at that as well as infielding. He was with Saginaw in 1910 and was sent from there to the Connecticut league. Later in the same year he was with York in the Tri-State league and was sold to Chicago in 1911. He wasn't quite ready for the American league, however, and was sent to San Fran cisco, where he stayed a year, return ing to the White Sox. Weaver is a wonderful fielder and a remarkably fast thinker. His only tendency to wards weakness is a habit of gum ming things up at times with a wild throw. STANDING OF THE TEAMS. 'atinol League.

White Sox Have Two Veterans of Former Classics. BY JACK VEIOCK. New York, Oct. 2. Ten players who have divided the fruits of for mer world's series will be in the line ups or on the benches when the Giants face Chicago's champion White Sox in the Windy City in the first game of the 1917 classic, October 6. Of former world's series players who will" be in on the biff, Juicy melon this year, Eddie Collins, the nervous little second-sacker of Comiskey's team, stands out as the one with the greatest experience in battling for the purple and gold banner. Ekldie has played in four series for the world's baseball title, and the one this year will be his fifth. He has been a member of three world's champion teams and by the time the players' end of the gate receipts are divided next month he will have col lected more than $10,000 from world's series alone. Collins was a member of the great Athletics in the days, when they swept everything out of their path and drove straight to the world's championship with few halts. He played Hinder Con nie Mack in the series of 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914. Eddie Murphy, sub stitute outfielder of the White Sot. was a team mate of Collins on the Phila delphia champions of 1913 arfO 1914. Only Six Veterans. These two players are the only members of the White Sox who have ever played in a world's aeries, for the stars of Comiskey's champions back of 1906 have passed. The lineup of the last Chicago American league champions included Owen, Altrock, Pafterson, Smith, Walsh, Roth, White, Hart, Sullivan, Isbell, Donohue, Tan nehill, Rohe, Davis, Dougherty, Hahn and Jones. Eight members of the present Giant team have played in the bigOctober classics, and of this number Artie Fletcher, Charley Herzog and .lack Murray have seen the most service. Fletcher and Herzog were members of the New York champions -of 1911, 1912 and 1913, along with Murray, who for a time during the ,191 4 sea son was with the Boston Braves, who won the pennant that year. George Burns played the outfield for McGraw in the world's series of 1912 and 1913, and Jim Thorpe was on the bench with the Polo Grounders In the 1913 games. Jeff Tesreau and Al Demaree are the only pitchgra with world's series experience. Tes reau was in the melon-cuttine bee of 1912 and again the next year, while Demaree was with the Giants of 1913 and the Phillies of 1915.' It Is Ztm's Third. Ole Heinje Zimmerman, the Great Zim' of Cub fame, has seen service in two world's seiries. iie piayea i nHtVi (h. nlH riiba back in 1908 And again in 1910. He is old in experi-' ence as a player, but still holds his own among the best third basemen of the day. One veteran world's series perform er who might easily be overlooked in digging up former stars is George Gibson, once the star on the receiv ing end of one of the greatest bat teries that ever won a world's series game. Gibby caught Babe Adams in the series of 1909 against the Tigers, and emerged with his team on the winners' end. Experience in former world's series is valuable to a player. This caanot be denied, and many Giant fans point to the fact in supporting their con tentions that New York will iefeat the White Sox. As far as world's series experience goes, the Giints will have some advantage, but after all, it is the series of 1917 that will be decided this month, and the ghosts of other years will have nothing to do with it. j COUNTERFEITERS BUSY However. They Are Making? Baseball Tickets Instead of Money. Chicago, 111., Oct. 2.! The 1917 model counterfeiter does not bother with such trifles as $20 bills or $10 gold pieces. He goes right out and tries to bunco the public with phoney world series tickets .-according to the national commission. The commission let the wide world know today that the big city slickers can't put anything over on it. "Baseball patrons are warned against purchasing world series tickets except thru the regular channels," reads an announcement by the com mission. "It has been reported that a plan for counterfeiting world series tickets is under way. j "This information is believed to be correct. The commission also admitted its! ability to Sherlock Holmes the festive j speculator. I "Plans have been formulated whereby the management can trace tickets that have been re-sold," it an nounced. "The management reserves the privilege of refusing admission to any persons on tickets purchased from speculators." For the information of the commis sion, speculators are said to have been offering grandstand seats in down town hotels Monday night face value $4.50 for three games for the insig nificant price of $35.

But Just wait until Hhey hear the "Kock Chalk" of the Kansas soldiers. Most of the efficiency experts Bo called, are pretenders, out of jobs, says the Los Angeles Times, and most of their talk about efficiency is bluff Many of them couldn't run a real busi ness to save their lives, and could not .fill staff positions. Great numbers, it will be discovered upon investiga tion, have actually failed in business venture of their own. There is a place in the world for the real experts, the real specialists in business and in dustry, and sometimes one of these be 'comes a professional adviser worthy .Of his hire in these fields. It will be fiiund, however, that most specialists '&nd experts are in business for them selves instead of being engaged in .telling others how to run their busi nesses.

It is esti mnted that 28.000 factories, in the af fllcted resrlons will need new machin ery, fresh raw materials, and supplies for the men and women who would work In the factories. Raw materials needed include coal, ores, metals, tex tiles, grains, seeds, waol, flax and hemp.

Recent reports from that country indicate that the population Is largely composed of a class of per sons who do not use soap. How other countries provide from Bovernment funds for the wives ano ;ehlldren of their soldiers in active service, while the United States makes no such allowances is described in the. latest report by the Children'3 Bureau of the United States depart ment of labor. Separation allowances ars granted not only In European countries where: the pay of the private Mnlt'.ier of the lowest rank runs from $9 cents to $7.30 a month; but in Can ada and Australia which pay him $33 and 148. 80 while he is engaged in foreign- service. In addition to the soldier's pay the wife and children of ths Canadian soldier receive from the nvrnment $20 a month; and the allowance to the family of the Aus tralian sr.lf.iet varies according to the r" "'"'r- f i v';nunr of nearly $30 a month. The pensions aiiewau. by law tu wives and children

of soldiers killed in service are shown to he considerably higher also in j Great Britain and the British domin- I ions than in the United States. And the report describes various ways in j which foreign governments are mak- of individual families. THE WORST IS OVKR. In view of the new position occu pied by New York and the country at large in the world of business, says The W oilman Review, it is trident that nothing can stand In the way of continued national prosperity except failure to grasp opportunities. The most serious period of the adjustment of the country to war has practically passed. On the whole, the' administration's policy that the staying power of busi ness must be maintained for effective prosecution of the war has been ob served in 4the formulation of special legislation. For the burdens of ,war the country is better equipped than any other nation in history, and for the opportunities of. peace it stands ready with wealth and energy stimu lated by the conditions of war. The interest accruing on its vast loans and its huge credit balances in trade cannot result otherwise than in a new era of enterprise anJ invest ment opportunity. There is small ex- cuseffor the man who looks only to the passing events of the day and burdens himself with a pessimism which cannot be reconciled with the extraordinary brightness of the coun try's great future. A debtor nation when the war broke out, the United States is today a cred itor nation a creditor to an extent never known before in history. It has paid off debts' and absorbed foreign-held securities to a total of" fully two billion dollars. It has a foreign trade in which the credit balance has risen into the .billions $3,635,000,000 inlhe fiscal year 1917 and $2,135,714, 000 in 1916. It has advanced $3,000. 000,000 to its allies, and it will loan $4,000,000,0,00 more by the end of the current fiscal year, on June 30, 1918, if the war should continue that long. Prior to its entrance into the conflict, it had made loans of various kinds to the European belligerents, to Canada and to Latin America, totaling $2, 000.000,000." The financial position of business America may be likened to a wealthy creditor who is drawing -a tremendous but legitimate income from his loans and is at the same time reinvesting a large part of his interest. The inter est accruing to this country thru the various instances cited will amount bv the end of the current fiscal year, if tne war continues, to nearly $40,000. 000 per month. Mexico is reported to have decided to refuse American paper money in payment of taxes. For a count wnicn nas little rY.nr.-r H.,. preoiated currency nf ito i i peafjfiat Mexico is unduly particu lar. Any kind of money which is worth a hundred cents on the dollar shou.!?Iook sood to the Mexicans. frifl"R AXD CULTURES. AfnWig the many strong indict mentsof Germany and German meth ods appearing in the public prints since the beginning of the war, prob ably there has been none more forc ible than that in the Los Angeles Times of recent date under the cap tion: "German Plague Plans." it loiiows: s Now the world knows there is n k Ti ioo niaeous, too ghastly in conception and too mnrrtor- ,Zelutinn to the hirelings around the kaisef to foster as aids to war. They know nothing of gallantry i ne aipiomats and apologists for the kaiser have lied, and a.flme cor-incinrly, about the L'. m they have "ex plained speciously snmp of thmr er villainies; but the proofs of the foulest of all foul German crimes have uirrnea in the Karden of the merman legation at Bucharest; and even the Prussian apologists, who by virtue of Iron crosses have developed great, adeptness in wriggling from racts, cannot explain how epidemic germs, poisons and explosives, with explicit directions for use. came to be buried there for any other purpose than for destroying a population with disease. Not ly was this murder-hatchery found, hut it was secreted after the American government had taken charge of Germany's diplomatic af fairs. Und -the shield of our fair name and neutrality the German gov ernment tried to perpetrate a horrij from which the war-hardened world .shrinks in dismay. Not only was all Jive stock to be diseased not only "r,c iijsniing me., to be plague stricken, but such epidemics were- to be- loosened on the land as would fiweep aged and young, women and children, intp the grave. In the light of these revelations made by Secretary Lansing with a re port sent to the state department by Whiting Andrews, secretary of the American legation at Bucharest, it is possible to guess the source of those disease scourges that have swept over Serbia. The leaders in the German government and the men in its em ploy are utterly without honor. The science of which Germany boasts is put to the uses of sava gery Her chemical laboratories develop poison gns and liquid fire: her bacteriological laboratories develop the culture "kultur!" of plague germs to be dissemii ated among a civilian popula tion. And the great plea for favor that Germany made to the neutrals at the beginning of the war was that Russians were "barbarians!" Bar barians are far a'ong in the march of civilization! From time imme-. morial to the present civilized men have had to band together to fight savages who have been distinguished, not so much by their lack of wealth and commerce, as by their treachery, their iniwnuity in poisons, theiy de based ruthlessless and cruelty their cannibalism, which is not far removed from the manufacture of soap from the bodies of dead men. And with these frightful revelations to tho shocked world the German rulers wonder why they are distrusted in the.r overtures for peace! THE RED GROSS THK TOPEKA STATIC .IPCKNAl INFORMATION BUREAU 3y Frederic .1. Hakln. IMrector, WanbintrtoD, D. C. Washington, D. C, Oct. 1. The j American Red Cross, since America entered the war, has grown into one of the most gigantic philanthropies j the world has ever seen, it asueu me American people for a hundred mil lion dollars, and it has gotten it. With this tremendous fund, made up of contributions from the whole people from millionaires who gave thousands and irever knew the difference, and workmen who gave a day's wages and felt the" pinch the American Ked Cross is now getting ready to play its part in the great war. Just what is this part? How are the hundred million dollars of the American people going to be spent? These questions are often asked, and few persons can give more than a general answer. The American Red Cross originated in a treaty signed by a number of the powers at ueneva, switzenana, in 1864, by which they agreed to main tain organizations to mitigate the hor rors of war and Vo-operate with the hospital services &t armies. This treaty was ratified by forty-one pow- ers in all, including the United States, and the American Red Cross is now one of the lustiest and most success ful of the philanthropies which result ed from this agreement. It has been incorporated under an act of con gress, and is a semi-official organiza tion, altho independent of govern ment supervision in the management of its affairs. The Red Cross at all times main tains certain educational features in cluding its course in Red Cross nurs ing, its first aid course, its home dietetics course, town and country nursing course, and its home service department. The educational value of these courses is generally known and appreciated. The United States govern ment depends largely upon the Ked Cross for its supply of army and navy nurses. The Marble Building at Washington. The Red Cross has recently complet ed a palatial marble building in Wash ington which is now the home and center of its activities. These activi ties at present consist chiefly in per fecting its organization, and laying plans for the expenditure of the fund which the people have pierced in its hands. Here in Washington alone it has about six hundred employes and volunteer workers who fill its com modious building to overflowing. These worKers include many young men and women who receive' no compensation except the satisfaction of serving their country. In addition to this great Washing ton headquarters, the Red Cross is organized into thirteen district head quarters, each of which has a volun teer executive at tis head, with all the department of the main headquarters. These district organizations, in town, have supervision of the Red Cross chapters, of which there are 2,000. The Red Cross magazine has a circula tion of 700,000 it goes to every mem ber who contributes two dollars or more. The present membership, is esti mated at four million, and at least ten million women are co-operating with it. In the way of Work in the field, the Red Cross expects to put into opera tion forty-five ambulance corps and forty-seven base hospitals, but most of these have not yet organized. A "refreshment, unit" is already on its way to Europe under the auspices of the Red Cross- This is financed, or ganized and led by Mrs- Larz Ander son. Its purpose is to serve hot cof fee and sandwiches from field kitchens to soldiers at railway stations. The Red Cross plans to organize rest stations in France, and a number of organizers are already on their way to Europe in connection with this en terprise. These stations will furnish soldiers places to write letters, read and rest when they are at leisure. The Activity of Knitting Campaign. The most advanced and successful activity of the Red Cross to date is the knitting campaign. It has pur chased a million pounds of wool, and three large spinning mills are now en gaged in making this wool into knit ting yarn- There will be enough of this yarn tjo make millions of pairs of socks, mufflers, sweaters, wristlets, washcloths and other articles needed by the men of our fighting forces on both land and sea. The women of America are asked to io this work, and miUions of them are responding to the call. These are the principal activities of the Red Cross as a national organiza tion. Individual chapters are doing i great many things on their own initia tive and with their own funds. The District of Columbia chapter, for ex ample, has organized several auto mobile corps to follow the movement:! of troops In this vicinity and render aid to any who are fatigued or in jured. Each unit consists of -one sin gle woman and one married woman as a chaperon. The women wear uniforms of gray with long coats and riding breeches. Another organiza tion of the district chapter serves hot coffee and sandwiches to soldiers .-it the Union station here in Washington. The Red Cross magazine is pub lished by the national headquarters. It was originalljy a sort of house or gan, but has recently been taken over by a New York publishing house. which pays all profits to the Red Cross, furnishing editor, contribu tions and all. merely submitting the work to the Washington headquarters for approval. Under this manage ment the publication has become a typical popular mairazine. illustrated in color, and carrying the work of leading magazine writers, cartoonists and illustrators. In the months of July a profit of eight thousand dol lars was realized upon the publication of this magazine. In general, the idea of Red Cross service is to supplement that of the belligerent governments. Thus its hospitals and ambulance corps will serve wherever they are most needed where the regular arm facilities are not able to meet the situation. In the same way. its knitting campaign is carefully planned to supply the soldiers with things they need, but which the government does not furn ish. Services to -ny Friendly Nation. The Red Cross offers its services to any nation at war that is not an enemy of the United States. The work it has already done for European belliger ents is well known. It has not only helped to care for the wounded, "but has done much to relieve the suffer ing of civilians, especially children. The great knitting campaign now under way is the most spectacular and original activity of the Red Cross. It is planned on a huger scale than anything of the sort in history. It gives every American woman chance to stand behind the American boys at t he front to work with her own fingers a garment to warm the hand that holds a rifle in the first Jin1 of trenches, to comfort a man- who- is risking his life that children of Ameri can women may live in freedom and peace. This appeal is meeting with an enormous response. Women are knit ting by tens of millions, and they are knitting greater things than woolen yarn into those sweaters and wristlets they are knitting all their pitty and love and sorrow and horror of war in with the clicking stitches; and they are knitting, as the nation is knit, with a quiet determination to do a share toward overthrowing the ugly power that has taken the name of God in vain and shadowed a world with the terror of treacherous war.

'TKAVELETTE BY MKSAH The Holy Land. One of the questions that must be settled by or after the European war is the ancient one of who shall con trol the Holy Land. Roman, Arab, Turk and Christian have all settled its destiny at various times in the past to' suit thernselves, and yet Its destiny remains supremely unsettled. Eng land wants it as a part of an overland route to the Orient and because of its proximity to Egypt. Then there is the Zionist movement which wfould make Jerusalem a Jewish nation- There is some reason to believe that the Eng lish government is trying to ride into control of the Holy Land "on the back of the Jews, so to speak, for the move ment h.us been greatly encouraged in that country. "The rights of weak peoples" being one of the chief plati tudes under which the diverse greeds at the root of the European war are disguised, the Zionist movement forms convenient pretext for England's de sire, altho on the part of Jews in all parts of the world it is undoubtedly sincere. That the Jew should have a center of national life and culture is admit ted by all. Opponents of the Zionist movement, however, point out that there are more Mohammedans and Christians than Jews in the Holy Land, and that to make it an essen tially sectarian country would be un fair to them. They also point out that it is not suitable for colonization by the Jews or anyone else, the arable land being very limited in extent. Most of the Holy Land is a pic turesque wilderness of rock, desert and marsh. Then, too, Jewish colonies there would be the prey of the wan dering desert Arabs, who would in all probability ultimately conquer them. What the Holy Land needs is a strong government under which its diverse peoples may enjoy religious and civil liberty. GLOBE SHOT'S From the Atchison Globe.

Wildcatting may be more expensive than tomcatting, and then, again, it may not- Opening your mouth and putting your foot in it is not so difficult as it sounds. You can't convince a man about to try it that being married may become monotonous. Conceit is so common that more people are seeking entertainment than are looking for instruction.

W'hen a female infant was born to Mr. and Mrs. Welcome it had to have a name to prevent it from being lost in the shuffle. When the father was appealed to he replied: "1 don t care wnat you iaoei it: The mother did care, however. She could make a delicious strawberry shortcake, but at the same time she was romantic. She decided almost at once to name the infant lone. "Do you like it?" she asked of the father when she had quite decided. Mr. Welcome was a victim of gout, and therefore his point was well taken when he replied: "No matter how you spell it, the name rhymes with bone, groan and moan, and that makes it all right." Following the law of chronology, it ought to have been noted at the start that Stephen Hope made his entrance into this country just two years oe tore lone. Stephen didn't cut much of a dash, in the world when he took his place in it. In fact, he didn't ruffle the sur- j face of Lake Erie a litle bit as he grew up. He was placid. He was calm. He was no kicker. If his bot tle was empty when he awoke from a nap there was no whooping or whin ing on his part. If his mother was busy he went to playing with a stray feather or the cat's tail and jollied the time away. A proper male infant should grow up into a proper little boy. Stephen Hope did. He did better than that. He grew up into a proper young man. He didn't smoke, drink or gamble. He didn't bet on the races, but if he was nearby he assisted old ladies and lame men on and off the cars. Had Miss lone been a noy sne would have been into mischief half the time. She wanted to be on the go. She wanted to see things hum. She used sdang now .and then. She could swim and row and fish. Nobody called her a hoyden, but lots of folks called her giddy. And when this girl rand this sober sided anH placid young man became acq uainted there were people who gasped, with the words: 'Did you ever hear of such a thing!" There is no sense in the old saying that opposites attract, for you can't make oil and water mix, but for borne reason Miss lone Welcome and Mr. Stephen Hope were attracted to each other and got along very well. It Be came a case of love on his part, and he finally proposed. She ran away without answering him, but she told her mother and her mother ex claimed: "Lands save us, but 5'ou mustn't think of it!15 "Hut I sort of like. Stephen." But so.-t Vf liking won't do. Does he ever laugh?" "Once in a while, but not very heartily. "Ever known 'of his swearing?" "Never." "Ever hear o his fighting?" "Mercy, no!" "Does he care for politics?" Not a cent." "And he is no hafM for'any sort of sport?" "No." ft "You'd better let him be your grandfather than your husband. You wouldn't live together three months." Miss lone went away and thought of the matter for an hour, and jien returned to say: "Mother, I read a story one time labout such a young man as Stephen is. "Yes?" "There was a girl, and she was about like me.' "Yes?" "Some one told her that the young man would be altogether different if he got a sudden -great shock. That what he needed was to be aroused out of hifnself. So the girl stood on the railroad track and let him snatch her off just a second before the locomo tive would have gone over her. It was also a close call for him, asthe cowcatcher shaved the heels off both his shoes." "Mercy! And how did he act?" "Why, he was a jolly fellow after that, just as I wish Stephen was." "I don't believe the story. The nature born in a man or woman is going to stay right there for -ail the railroads in the world. You are vou. and Stephen is Stephen, and always will be, tho there may be some slight changes as you both grow older." "Poor Stephen! But I guess you are right, mother," was the reply. As a matter of fact. Miss lone didn't believe any such thing. The story had made a great impression on her. She had read or hearing and a lost voice being restored by a shock. and of paralytics running downstairs in case of fire, and she began to plot and plan. It must be a great shock, and there must be no flaw in it., It was accident that gave Miss lone her opportunity. Stephen would play croquet with her, and once In a whil3 take her for a ride in his auto, but would not go fishing or to a lawn party or on an excursion. She had ,called him a thief and a liar when playing croquet, but that was no shock. Over and over again, as he would not speed his auto above ten mile an hour site had called him a coward and threatened to jump out and walk home, but it was as water on a duck s back. One day when she was three miles from home with another girl they dis covered a bed of wild strawberries on I the bank of a river and near the road i Two days later Stephen took a young man ana tne two girls to the spot in his auto. There were berries galore and each one was helping himself wnen tne plan for the great shock came to Miss lone like a flash. She had never run an auto, but she had taken notice, and she did not doubt herself. If she could withdraw from the party and get into the auto and go wnizzing across tne bridge and up the j mn tne snocK would come. It took ouite a bit of stratee-v -n j compfish her purpose, but it was car- i ried out. The first warning came to tne inree picKers wnen tne horn gave a defiant toot, and thev rose un to gether and cried out in' unison. The auto started at its highest speed,, and was almost at the far end of tne bridge when its driver scared and cneckea it and backed it. Bump! went the hind wheels against the railing, and 'crash went the rail ing, and machine and girl took a drop of twenty feet down to water deep enough to drown an elephan?. Was there a shock? That young man and girl had never heard Stephen use expressive language, but they heard him now. As he ran for the bridge, shedding his cap. coat and vest as he went, he shouted "The infernal little fool! The blith ering idiot!" Then Stephen took his dive. The auto had gone to the bottom, but the girl was paddling and splashine around and screaming for aid. He lanfded near her and soon had her ashore. As she was hauled out on the grass he stood there and called her a fool just seven times and used thir teen impolite words to express his opii-ion of her common sense. The other young man came up and ex postulated, and in return was knocked down and rolled down the bank into the river. Miss lone 'was more scared than ,hurt. After two or three minutes she sat up and asked: "Oh, Stephen, are you swearing?" "s. by thunder!" he replied. x "And did you call me a little fool?" "Yes, a dozen of them!" "And" did you knock Albert into the river?" "Yes, I did; and I'll do it again if he butts-in any more!" "Stephen, come here and kiss me!" "What for?" "Because I love you and amgoing to marry you! Oh, Stephen it's so good so good!" "What in the devil is so good?" "Your being like other men. I I want to hurry home and tell mother!" (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Tommy Jay Offers Help. One little thing makes so much of a change That many things happen. both queer and strange. If Foxy Squirrel had been at home when Toppy Cottontail came to ask him about the new bird he saw dig ging and heard talking down by Look ing Lake, perhaps everything would have turned out well after all. 'For Foxy knew Toppy and was used to his questions. But Foxy wasn't at home. That did not seem very important to Toppy, he just began looking around for some one else to talk to; buf it was more important than he thought far more important. You know yourself how sometimes some little, really unim portant thing Will upset all your plans; will change everything all day. Well, that's just what happened now. Foxy wasn't home; Toppy began looking for somebody else and he found Tommy Jay. Or rather. Tommy Jay found him, though it amounts to the same thing. Tommy Jay was up in Foxy's tree and he saw Toppy looking up. "Hello there, Toppy," he called, "what you doing?" "Hunting Foxy," replied Toppy. "Vhat you want him for?" asked Tommy, "I think he's over on the other side of the woods today." "Oh, I just wanted to ask him some thing." said Toppy, trying to make up his mind whether or not to tell Tommy what he came for. "He's not here, but I am," sug gested Tommy, "won't I do?" "Maybe you will," answered Toppy, "come around near here and I'll tell you." "Coming," replied Tommy and he darted down to the ground. And (I'm sorry to say) all the while he was smiling to Toppy and looking wise, he was saying to himself, "Now I'm going to .have fun! This little rabbit person is so easily fooled I can make him believe anything." But of course Toppy never suspected such a thing as that! Never! "Now what's up? asked Tommy and he settled himself within easy talking distance of Toppy and put on his wisest look- r. Tommy Jay Was l"p in Foxys Tree and He Saw Toppy Looking Up. I "This," said Toppy. "I was over at Looking Lake just a few minutes ago and I saw a strange ne"- bird. And this bird was digging and digging and digging in the ground; and all the time he was digging, he was saying to himself, "got, got, got, got, got, got," till I felt sure he had found something wonderful what do you suppose it was?" "Think of that!" exclaimed Tommy Jay, and poor little Toppy was so pleased to have Tommy interested that he never once noticed the twin kle in his eye!

Similar ly large numbers of Austrian troops have also been recalled from France. The visit of King Victor Emmanuel to the French front was very exten sive.

Similar re ports a.-e made, from time to time, regarding passenger traffic. As ex pressed, in terms of freight tonnage and pussengers carried on trains, trade nd manufacturing and farming are normal thruout the southwest, accord ing to a statement by V. J. Black, pa.-senger traffic manager of the com pany. Industries affected by the war. and especially the farmers, are prwpeyiiB miirkMl deirree. Mr. mac sum. "Wheat is not moving as freely as us ual and cotton is being held back, protiablv in hope of better prices; but the wheat and cotton are there, and will go to market In due time. The largest crop of citrus fruit ever raised in the Salt river of Arizona, and a heavier deciduous fruit movement from California than in 1916. are items of encouragement. In spots crops have been below normal, nut the average is good this includes In dian corn, the sorghums, sugar beets, cotton and the like. The oil wells continue to make heavy ship ments and lumber loading is about the same as a year ago. The south west farmer is Independent.

Thexe extensions were decided jn oe fore war was declared Other exten sions equally necessary, must wait until steel rails and labor are avail able on better terms.

Lules the unexpected happens, it is n, s,ife guess that the leading trans continental tines -will have alt the business they comfortably can care for in the coming year, after providing for the government s needs. An increased acreage of wheat is now being see-Jed. More cattle than last year will be wintered on the wide ranges. Cotton exports from gulf ports to Europa will keep up for a long time. Mi nine Industry Thriving. The mining, industry and lumber ing should continue to thrive. Cali fornia and Arizona will have more than their full quota of winter pil grims. There will be cars enough, and trains enough, to take care of thru passengers, and still haul the sol dier linvs. The resort hotels in Cali fornia are making additions to their plants, and are preparing for a big! tourist business. Those persons wno are obliged to stay at home because of our rumpus with Kaiser Bill are more than offset by those who will make frequent trips to soldiers' training camps. Local travel has not slowed down at all. Freight tonnage may fall off in one commodity, only to be more than offset by increased hauls of other lines. "Business as good as usual, is my prophecy for 1918. for the southwest, if there are no serious troubles with labor. "Liberty bonds will find a ready ma'-ttet in the territory served by our lines."

REID ON CARTOONS Well Known Topeka Artist Talks to 19th Century Clvflt. Interesting Sidelights on Fa mous Men of Comedy. iihert T. Reid delivered an inter esting and instructive talk on cartoons tist!l Monday afternoon be- 'iii i..v. i fore the .Nmeteentn century ciuu ai the home of Mrs. cowm a. aucuu, 81S Buchanan street. After giving a short explanation of the principles of cartooning and caricature, and describing the pro cesses of engraving, stereotyping, etc., necessary in preparing drawings for the press, Reid proceeded to show the club members a collection of original cartoons bv the leading members of the profession 'in the United Slates f wirh whom he is well acquainted, and to give a brief account of each man's style peculiarities and life history. In'his collection are work by George McManus, the originator of "Bringing Up Father," the popular series -which runs daily in the State Journal, and The Newly Weds." by T. E.-Powers, who works for the Hearst syndicate at a .salary of $18,000 a year and orig inated the famous "Joys and Glooms" series; by Fred Opper, who draws "Happy Hooligan" and "Alphonse and Gaston," and is perhaps the oldest car toonist in point of service in the United States; by the famous John T. McCutcheon of the Chicago Tribune; a cartoon of Reid by Darling "Ding" of the Des Moines Register and Deader, and one by W. A. Rogers, now chairman of the advisory staff of the New York HeraM, and a boyhood friend of Frank P. MacDennan of the Topeka State Journal. In connection with this last statement, Reid related a story of how Mr. Rogers and Mr. MacLennan once decided to build a boat. They completed the craft all but tarring the seams, and were then undecided as to whether the tar should be applied to the outside or to the inside of the boat. Finally they decided to tar the inside. The condi tion of their clothes immediately after their first ride and what their mothers said and did to them can as well be imagined a3 described. Other cartoons included in the Reid collection are by Frank Moeser and Russell Cole, both Marshall county, Kansas boys, both former pupils of Reid, and both now well known in their profession; by Fontaine Fox, by Miner of the St. Louis Post Dispatch; by Rehse of the New York Press; by Bordman Robinson, of the New York Tribune; by De Mar, a former Kan sas man; by the late Oley May and by Clothaus, a well known Spanish cartoonist. Reid also exhibited several of his own cartoons drawn for the George Matthew Adams syndicate, for which he was the first artist. One of these, called "Waiting att the Church, and based on the reciprocity agreement attempted some years ago by the United States with Canada and re jected by the latter, was published in three London papers. The afternoon was concluded with t the reading of some letters received by Reid from time to time from fa mous artists, amorig them Charles Dana Gibson, and by the making of several chalk, drawings, comic and otherwise.

Irregularities in Adoption of ProTision Is the Plea. v SEEK TO HOLD IT Former Senator Mahin Leads Fight on Enforcement. Fifteen Men in Pen as Result of Law's Conriction. Constitutionality of the Kansas white slavery law is being tested be fore the supreme court today in a case appealed from Montgomery county Irregularities in adoption of provisions of the act are alleged by attorneys who seek to secure a court opinion holding the state law invalid. Legislative records are before the court in the argument of the case. I. M. Mahin of Smith Center, former state senator, is assisting in present ing the case attacking the constitu tionality of the law. Mahin recently raised a question concerning the val idity of the act and intimated that provisions or the present., law were irregularly incorporated at the sug gestion of W. L. (Ironjaw) Brown, peaker of the 1913 house of repre sentatives and candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for United States senator in 1914. Attacks on the law concern them selves with two separate and distinct publications of the act,- The act now in existence does not compel women to establish their character when ap pearing as plaintiffs in white slave cases. An amendment tacked onto the bill by the senate provided for clean bills of character by women. The bill as originally published con tained this provision. The measure as subsequently published and print ed in the session laws, did not carry the character provision. Both bills. it seems, were signed by Governor Hodges and each was known as House Bill No. 40. Brown was author of the bill. Point Out Error. The state today contended that the legislative history of the white slavery law is clear and perfect. They con tend that an error was committed in the erroneous publication of the first bill, that records of the house and senate show appointment of conferees to discuss disputed provisions of the bill. They also claim that both houses regularly passed the biU as it now appears in the general statutes. A number of men probably a dozen or fifteen are in the peniten tiary at this time because of convic tion under the provisions of the law. It is probable that twentyfive or thirty, men have gone to the state penitentiary for violation of the law which is now alleged to be unconsti tutional. Should the court declare the present law invalid, the action would probably automatically release the men now in state prison and in jails for violation of the state white slave act. It is probable the supreme court will hand down an opinion in the case in November. SANTA FE NOTES I 5ei bv Frances Jones. 211 Grattan tret.

Wall street Is setting the stage to make the next lib erty loan a big success. Three bil lion dollars is a tidy sum; but this is a billion -dollar country, and with the financial machinery oiled for the oc casion there will be no difficulty- in placing the bonds. The steady liquidation that has been going on in the stock market for months Has provided the banks with a reservoir, of cash such as the world has neve before seen, and this money will find its way into Uncle Sam's lap in exchange 'for the gilt edge 4 per cents. Bismarck, who was a past master in the trade of war, said there were three things necessary tQ wage a successful war money! money!! money!! This is the only country that has the ready at hand, so by all Bismarck ian standards the finish of the kaiser is at hand. Two More Years War. The professional warriors look to see a couple of years more of slaugh ter; but the best financial intelligence in the street opine- thac the birth of the new year will see an end of hos tilities. German efficiency has provided an antidote for everything but starvation. The kaiser has fed his people on phantom victories until their empty stomachs can no longer, stand the strain, and,, they cry for peace. The other day the bottom dropped out of the industrial stock market on the Berlin Bourse. That is a sure sign that the Berlin bankers know that the gig in up, and that the game of war can no. longer pay a profit. The government prices are- better than fair. They are liberal and were purposely made so by the president so as to stimulate production. Chance for Farmer. The farmer has not been overlook ed. The government's price for wheat will give him a profit of $1.41 a bush el. Being a farmer there is no talk about sticking an excess profit tax on -him. He will, however, have a chance to show his patriotism by subscribing liberally for ttaf next bond output. The yeomanry did not do much for secretary mcaooo on tne last issue. They complained that 3 H per cent was just, aiiout nair wnat they could get for their money at home. Now that the secretary has jacked up the inter est, they may take a more cheerful view of the next loan. Washington feels that the farmers of the country ought to make at least one billion of the new bonds.. Considering the soft thing they have had for the last three years, it wouldn't be a flea bite to them. In the aggregate they have made more money than any other class of pebple with the possible exception of the du Fonts, and have been taxed proportionately less.. It is time for them to show that .there is something more zo patriotism tnan coimnc mon ey out of the necessities of the indus trial public. Once upon a time it was quite the thing to pity the poor farmer. How about pitying the poor workingman who Has to pay 15 cents for a 5-cit loaf of Dread WOULD SAVE LANGUAGE German-Americans Protest To German Press in C S. Save Chicago, Oct. 2. A communication as sem td President Wilson today protesting against attacks upon German-Americans and demanding pro tection for them, following the adop tion of resolution at the conclusion yesterday of the annual convention of the Illinois branch of the German American National alliance. Kight resolutions were adopted in which all German-Americans were asked to support the German language press in its fight against suppression. Resentment is expressed at the active ity of the National Security league and a the "distionest and foolish attacks upon the teaching of German in the public schools."

ON U-BOAT Said He Was Naturalized in Boston Even Passed the Cigar. London, Oct. 2. The commander of a Germaiu. submarine that has suc cessfully attacked at least one vessel claims American nationality, having been naturalized in Boston before the war. Sponsors for this statement are members of a British expeditionary force whose boat was torpedoed a few weeks ago in the Bay of Biscay and who were saved mainly thru the cour tesy of thia alleged German-American. Their story is In marked contrast to that told by the survivors of the Belgian Prince. When the captain learned that some -were Americans and Canadians he showed great interest. Sees Iature Germany, Outcast, "I'm an American in a way," he said. "I used to live in Boston and was naturalized there." But he invited some of his victims aboard the submarine and showed them about the vessel. "After the war the German will be an outcast wherever he goes," he said. "Xo chance to make a living in Ger many and forever barred from the United States, Canada and England. It is a. bad prospect." Before putting them into lifeboats, the German-American saw that all had proper clothing and life preserv ers and even passed cigars around.

Germany sub marine menace is now being concen trated against American military sup ply ships. A German submarine base has probably been established off the French coast in the American trans port lane. There is no real decrease in total allied submarine sinkings. America can only fulfill her gigantic army requirements tn France by de pending on her own shipping and making the issue with Germany per sonal. This is the interpretation of the sub marine situation today as expressed in an exclusive interview with the United Press by Lord NorthcHffe. head of the British w ir mission and the most con scientious war worker any belligerent nation has produced. "The most important news that has crossed the Atlantic since I arrived in this country at the beginning of June, Lord Northcliffe said, "is the official statement of Sir Joseph Maclary, the British controller of ship ping. It is to the effect that unless the United States faces the shipping nepds annually, the military efforts of the United States will be crippled from the start." Sound Solemn War nine. "This is the solemn warning of Sir Joseph himself. It has passed the censor, and is the first real note of K,larm of the seriousness of the sub marine sinkings. Set aside all Ger man boastings: put away from you the idea that Great Britain, who is increasing her own food production, can be starved out. The writing on ,the wall should arouse every thinking? Americf.n to the greatest problem the world has ever faced the transport across 3,000 miles of water of the new American army, which already amounts to more than a million of men; its cannon, shells, locomotives, railway track, munition plants, aero planes, observation balloons, hospitals,- ambulance convoys, doctors, nurses, machine guns, butchers, bakers, shoemakers, men of every trade, railroad engineers, interpreters, organizers and distributors of stores, clotning, horses, mules, fodder, book keepers, complete telephone and tele graph equipments, with operators run ning into the thousands. Now Sir Joseph Maciay, as .British shipping controller, plainly says that unless six millions of tons of shipping is built in the United States yearly, you will not be abK to transport those vital needs. i uu anK me il i Hife wnn on Joseph. T do not profess to have any of the technical knowledge of shipping of the hard-headed Scotchman who was chosen by Premier XJoyd George for a task that is much more difficult than even that of food controller the control of a shipping that is being sunk more rapidly than it is being constructed, Hind that, mark you, at a time when the demand for ship ping, owing to the transport needs of the United States army, is increasing daily. But I maintai n that nothing that hon happened alters my convic tion that the combined shipyards of the allies and their combined navies must make a superhuman effort to overcome the losses and growing de mand as to Atlantic transport today. I'-IJoat I'igures ivccoptlve. "The whole system of publ.shing the figures of su bmarine sinkings by the allies is misleading, and I have pro tested against it ever since it was adopted. 1 do not believe that any substantial progress has been made in Mopping submarine depredations. Last week, we were told officially that the t .ibmarine sinkings of P.ritish ships vre the lightest since the policy of ruthlessness cnmmer.cn.

"Remember that the army that is principally menaced by the policy of operating off the coast of France is the American army. The British iarmy is supplied from. Great Britain I to an increasing extent as to" meat, material and munitions, across a chan of twenty or thirty miles, ade j quately guaranteed. The French and j Belgian armies are at home on their own soil. The giant supplies for your boys have to travel nearly 3,000 miles, and across the very track of subrna i rine ruthlessness. Of danger to actual transports there is probably little, j Not one Canadian soldier has yet been t lost at sea out of the forty thousand I boys that have gone from Canada to France. Submarine attacks on fast I ships are rarely successful in these J days of zig-zagging, camouflage and big guns, but the world's shipping is sinking so fast, and the demands for tonnage, owing to your need for trans portation are so rapidly increasing, that supplies have to be put on any kind of tramp steamer, irrespective of its speed. Require 500,000 Shipbuilders. "Admit the comparative success of the convoy system; admit the bravery and ingenuity of the British and American captains of destroyers; ad- mit the worth of some of Mr. Kdi- son's ingenious devices. I "There yet remains the serious statement by the greatest authority on shipping in Great Britain that the United- States requires 500,000 men to be engaged in shipbuilding; that you must build three times more than the British have ever built in one year, and five or six times what you have previously accomplished in like time. "I am well aware that progress is being made here and in Great Brit ain but are you getting the six mil lion ton a year that your controller of shipping states to be the minimum necessary to make successful what he truly described as your 'greatest mil itary effort "The problem is almost entirely an American problem. The stoppage of food supplies from this country to Great Britain would be trying, but not fatal. So far as our shipping is con cerned we are not only able to look after all our own needs, but we are cheerfully allocating much tonnage to France and Italy. We are glad to do so by reason of our admiration for their work. 1 Now Ainu at V. S. "It is vital that hand in hand with the equipment of the splendid young men now "flocking into your canton ments, must rise an army of American shipbuilders. The men who build the ships in Great Britain regard them selves, and rightly, as performing equal service with the men who face death in the trenches. I believe that the time will come when the workers in the shipyards and factories the men in the mines and mercantile sail ors will also get the crosses, medals and ribbons that are now given to the soldiers and naval men. "Whenever you set eyes on orie of your fine soldiers, send this thought coursing thru your brain: 'All his sac rifice will be in vain if you cannot give him the food, the arms and the housing he will require in France, every ounce of which has to be trans ported across the submarine zone.' "Let mo urge and urge you again that -the increased sinkings of the French ships are significant; that what Tfi.(aimed at by the Germans is, the ruin of your effort to supply your own men with everything that they. need in. .France.'

The i principal results of three bitter at j tacks between dawn and mid-after- noon has been merciless shattering of his ranks and a still further advance over the front south of Polygon wood j by the British, who pushed their line i forward some hundred yards. The first assault was delivered at 6:15 o'clock this morning. The ene my advanced in three waves, but im mediately met with such a fierce fire of rifles and artillery that he was compelled to retire. It was apparent, i however, that the Germans were not thru with the attempt, and the Brit 1 ish guns turned loose such an ava- liche of shells as is seldom seen along the front. This is the first dispatch regarding the military situation on the British front to be received from The Asso ciated Press correspondent at British headquarters since last Friday, when notice was given that the sending of press dispatches from the field head quarters had been stopped temporarily.

HAD BIG ROLL ON HIM Fifty Dollars in Gold and Cur rency Taken. Assailants Left David Jones in Unconscious Condition. David Jones, a one-armed taxi driver, was slugged, robbed of $50 in gold and currency and left uncon scious on the East Sixth street road three miles east of Topeka this after noon by two soldiers whose identity is unknown. The soldiers, according to a story Jones told the sheriff's office over the telephone after he recovered con sciousness, came to Topeka on the westbound Union Pacific train that ar rives shortly after noon. He was at the station waiting for "fares." They stepped into his car and asked him to take them four miles out on the Kast Sixth street road where one said his sister lived. Three miles out, Jones felt a blow on the head and lost consciousness. When he recovered he found himself on a lonely stretch of the road. A lump was rapidly swelling on his head and his clothes were covered with blood that eame from a scalp -wound near the lump. Car Left 1'iitoufheil. He felt in his pockets for his money and found the $50 gone. His car, a new Ford, stood beside the road not damaged. Jones walked to the resi dence of Scott Fleming and telephoned the sheriff's office. Hugh Larimer, sheriff, and Robert Miler, undersheriff drove to the scene and late this afternoon were searching for the two men in khaki. Farmers near the scene of the slug ging reported that they had seen two soldiers striking off across the fields to the northwest toward Topeka. Jones is the only one-armed taxi driver in Topeka. VOICE FROM HOME N. Y. Senate Inquires Into Allege! Pro-German Ideas Court of Justice. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 2. The senate of the New York legislature by the adoption of a formal resolution today requested Secretary of State Lansing to transmit to Governor Whitman any information not incompatible with the public welfare which would tend to throw additional light upon the alleg ed participation of Supreme Court Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of New York in German activities, especially with regard to Ireland. PUT KAISER IN PRISON This Is One of' War Settlements Church Head Declares. Pittsburg. Pa., Oct. 2.

Dr. Frank Mason North, president of the federal council of Churches of Christ, was the speaker.

FOR "OPEN DOOR" Pledge of Jap Envoy Jlost Im portant Utterance Yet. Xo Aggression Against China Invites U. S. Co-operation. Washington, Oct. 2. Official Washington today regards the, pledge pof Viscount Ishii, head of the Japan I ese mission, for an "open door" in i China as the most important utterance I from the standpoint of American for i eign relations made by any of the al lied representatives who have Visited this country. It is believed the Ishii statement has removed he most sinister weapon of the jingoists who have been persist- I ently agitating the menace of a Japan ese-American co-operation. No Hint of Policy Heretofore. The statement of Japan's represen tative was made Sunday night in a formal) prepared speech, suggesting that its full weight and importance had been considered in advarce. The time chosen for the pronouncement was the climax of the mission's visit to New York, after a tour covering various cities. Viscount Ishii had giv en no hint of Japan's policy in pre vious speeches. v Ishii gave assurances that Japan had no ambitions of aggression against China and invited co-operation of the United States in patrolling the Pacific and preserving the "open door" policy. It was suggested today that the dec laration may have been the outcome of an understanding reached between the Ishii mission and Secretary of State Lansing at their recent confer ence. This is in spite of the fact that Lansing has left the impression that the international political aspects of the,, Japanese situation were avoided and that war co-operation was the sole theme of discussion. "DOGS OF WAR" BUSY Many Important Duties for Canine Heroes Need More in France. BY HENRY WOOD. With the French Armies, Oct. 2. France is short on dogs. Thousands are needed for the army. Every dog pound in the republic js contributing every cur it picks upland numerous breeding societies are furnishing regu lar quotas but still there i aren't enough. So many diverse duties have been developed for dogs in the war that practically every canine, provided he is intelligent enough to be trained, can be used. A dog kennel large enough for training of hundreds of dogs is a regular part of the equipment of every French army now. It turns out trained animals for -front service. Develop Xew Duties. Originally, dogs were used for just two purposes carrying aid to the wounded and accompanying patrols to "scent out" the enemy. The Belgians have always had a third duty that of training dogs to drag machine sans. But the highly specialized art of war today has resulted in amplifiea tibn of these duties. Two of the most important roles now played by canines are liason work and sentinel work. These can be said to have attained su preme importance. Liason dogs have the most danger ous and most useful parts to play They carry messages between attack ing troops and batteries to the rear which shield these troops bv barrage fire. The intensity of enemy counter barrages, to prevent this, kills hun dreds of doss but still many trained animals slip thru. For every dog who dies on the field of honor, France considers it has saved the life of the' soldier-messenger who otherwise would have to do the work. One Awarded War Cross, Mary dogs who fail to show apti tude for liason work develop into ex cellent sentinels. Those particularly fitted for this work take their place at the top of the trench alongside the gun barrel of their master and detect everv nntrn t w j lj- x. uiiuvjuuai SOI dier that attempts passage of barbed Dogs are still being trained and used to carry aid to the wounded. One vet eran Dick who has been officially decorated- with the war cross for "bravery" at Verdun, where his mas ter was killed and the dog himself gravely-wounded, has just gone back into active service again, attached to a section of the American ambulance. 14,000 ENROLLED 8,000 Skilled Mechanics Ready to Re a spond to Government Call. sWashington, Oct. 2. F ourteen thousand citizens, 8,000 of whom are skilled engineers, have been enrolled by the public service reserve as willing to leave' their present employment if they can serve their country better elsewhere. The purpose of the organ ization set up by the department of labor is to furnish skilled men to all branches of the government and the army and navy without interfering with essential private industries. Well Known Ad Man Dies. St. Louis, Oct. 2. Dudley A. Brag don; vice president of the Advertis ing company of which Wm. XVArcy, president of the Associated A'dvertia ing clubs of the world is head, died at a local hospital last night of a revolver wound. The death was made known to the coroner today. A brother-in-law of Bragdon told the police that J alter uinner msi nigni rsragaon went to the- second floor of his home, and, a few minutes later, a shot was heard. Rushing upstairs, Mrs. Brag don found the bath room locked. The door was forced open and Brandon was found lying unconscious on the floor. He was shot in the head. Mem bers of the family think the shooting may have been accidental. GOAL 6ML AWAY British in Belgium Xot Far From Strategic Railroad. Would Cut Off U-Boat and Aero Bases on Belgian Coast. RUSSIANS ADVANCE A MILE Petrograd Reports Defeat of Germans on Riga Front. Victory of British Against -Turks Took 4,000 Prisoners. (By the Associated Press. Altho the Berlin military writers are admitting that the Germans can hardly regain the initiative on the western front, the German high com mand is evidently doing its utmost to keep the British from making the best use of their advantage in Flan ders. Apparently dreading the effect of the next British stroke, Crown prince Rupprecht has been launching attack after attack upon Field Mar shal Haig's troops in their advanced positions in an effort to disarrange the British plans. Similar tactics were adopted last week on the eve of the renewed British thrust, heavy counter attacks being delivered on the evening of September 25, when it be came evident to the Germans that Haig was about ready to launch his drive. German Attack Futile. The record shows the effort of last week to have been futile. It is too early yet for the effect of the present at tempt to be developed. The British commander, however, reports that the attacks themselves, five in number, were complete failures, the Germans not being able to make any appreci able Impression on the British posi tions along the Ypres-Menin road and at the southeastern edge of Polygon wood, where the thrusts were deliv ered. With the whole German line in Flanders hanging in the balance, as the military maps show, small sur prise is expected that the German command is making such desperate efforts to balk the British plans and is fighting hard for every inch of ground protecting the Liile-Ostend railway a scant six miles beyond the present point of the advancing Brit ish wedge. On their front in northern France, the French are holding themselves in restraint at present, permitting the crown prince to hammer away at their lines in attacks which almost invar iably aire repulsed with heavy Ger man losses. Two attacks :by the Ger mans in the Craonne sector on the Aisne front last night were repulsed. Efforts by the Germans on two occa sions to re-capture trenches which they had lost in the Beaumont regior in the Verdun front, also were un successful. French in Air Reprisal. Despite the intensity of last night's air raid on England, the official fig ures show that the four groups of German airmen, making their sixth attack in eight days, inflicted compar atively few casualties by the bombs they dropped. Lord French repoi-ts today that ten persons were killed and 38 injured. While Britishers are urging reprisals for the German at tacks on London, the French are actu ally conducting such retributive en tei prises. Sunday night they bom barded the German city of Stuttgart, 100 miles beyond the frontier and last night the reprisals were continued on a larger scale. Stuttgart was agair. visited by French airmen and the Prussian city of Frankfort-on-the-Main, with about 200,000 population and more than 125 miles from the French border, also was subjected to aerial attack. The Prussian towns of Treves and Coblenz were the other places bombed by the French raiders. Russians Claim a Victory. Petrograd, Oct. 2. The Russian of fensive in the Riga sector advanced a mile against the Teutons today, the war office announced. 'In the Riga region south of the railway from Kronenberg to Spitali. and in the Grounduli sector our van guard advanced a mile," the statement declared. 40O Turk Prisoners. London, Oct. 2. Nearly 4.000 pris oners were taken by the British army in Mesopotamia which captured Ramadie, it is announced officially. The capture of Ramadie on the Euphrates west of Bagdad was effect ed by a surprise attack by the British. They outflanked and cut off the Turks, defeating them in a heavy en gagement and taking prisoner nearly the entire garrison of Ramadie. An official announcement in London. Sunday, said the. Turkish commander, Ahmed Bey, and his staff had been taken with his men, and that guns, arms, ammunition stores, equipment and much other booty had been cap tured.

When she came back to the ord job she took all the girls out to luncheon to tell them about it. ."Now 1 am back again," she told them, "in the old grind and among working people, but you understand I am only getting the inside informa tion on conditions, and sort of study ing the type." A tea was given Monday afternoon, but it was not the gay affair that autumn parties, opening a new social season, usually are. This affair fol lowed too closely upon the farewells to the soldiers at the railway station yesterday morning for it to be a func tion of a great deal of light hearted ness. The tea was a "silver thimble" party at the home of Mrs. Lee Mon roe, and its purpose was to gather together the silver and gold trinkets that Topeka women have been harbor ing in their attics and store rooms. The guests were received by Mrs Monroe, Mrs. J. L. McFarland and Mrs. Norman Keller, who wore a Red Cross nurse's costume. Out-of-town guests were Mrs. F. R. Eyestone and Mrs. Margaret Frost, of Perry, Kan. Mrs. J. P. Hicks gave some readings of a patriotic nature. The young women who assisted were: Mrs. Cyrus Monroe, Mrs. Mark Troxell, Mrs. Wal lace Crutcher, Mrs. Bruce McFarland, Mrs. Kenneth Lewis, Miss Annetta Xicoll, Miss Antoinette West, Miss Alice Lyman and Miss Mary Burnett. A big punch bowl in the library was used as a receptacle for the silver and gold gifts. Each donor tied the articles of her contribution In a little bag of red, white or blue, with a card attached. Every sort of article made out of the precious metals was repre sented in that collection. There was a heavy, old opera chain that must have been very costly in the days when it was fashionable, and ought to bring a good price as an antique. In a box sent by a Topeka woman was contained some old broken silver spoons and forks, and a set of the family napkin rings. One of them that had apparently belonged to the baby of the family was badly battered and must have been a toy long after it was a table accessory. A thin, solid silver spoon, marked with the" prints of a baby's teeth, was one of the gifts. There were the silver parts of mani cure and toilet sets, belt buckles, chains, bar pins and endless numbers of broken ornaments and bits of jew elry. Some women gave silver dollars; in another "bag was a collection of the old silver half dimes of the vintage of 1850 or earlier In one bag was a set of hand pounded silver spoons. One woman gave her mesh bag, and a bride who had not kept house long enough to collect the usual metal "junk." gave a pair of silver spoons that were among her bridal gifts. The aroma of sentiment fairly radi ated from the treasure bowl. The silver brought to the party yes terday will be kept for a while long- AH!

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2,-1917 8 NEED MORE CARS Transportation' Facilities at Ft. Kiley Are Inadequate. Internrlian Line Should Have Much Closer Schedule. UNION PACIFIC HEAVILY TAXED Much of Its Kquipmeiit I Taken ly Hie Troops. trackage f the interurban is in good condition and the only thins? needed is more cars and a closer schedule. The Union Pacific believes it has a valid excuse for not furnishing greater facilities. The road is carrying the burden of moving thousands of troops and thousand of tons of supplies into the cantonments every week and the task draws heavily on its equipment. Shuttle trains are run for workmen but the public at large has a kick on the road's regular trains. The local trains are particularly crowded. They are .so crowded generally, in fact, that soldiers and others who ride them between the army cantonment points have come to consider themselves lucky if they even find standing room on the coaches.

Iesplte the fact that the population of the army camps which it serves has been added to by thirty or forty thou sand men in the lr-.Ht six months the interurban line has not increased its equipment to any extent. The line maintains a schedule of one ear. about the size of an ordi nary double-truck street car, every half hour between Junction City and Fort Kiley. Ketween Jlanhattan :.nd Fort Kiley the inter nrlian runs a car every hour. Space at a Premium. Space on t he interurban cars, be cause of the prices charged by auto mobile drivers for trips between the poi nts, a re at a premiu m. Men and women fight to get on in the evenings and during other rush hours. Dozens of instances occur each day where crowds waiting at intermediate sta tions between Fort Kiley and Junction City are unable to even get on the cars and are left to wtlk. The same thing is true of conditions on the line I Kit ween Manhattan and Fort Kiley and in many instances it is worse be cause of the one r;ir an hour schedule, 'ars a re genera 1 ly filled at t heir terminals and the persons waiting at the intermediate stations are lucky if they can crowd on and obtain standing room on the platforms or in the aisles. For women, a ride on a car so crowd ed is a nerve-racking experience. Breakdowns Frequent. Breakdowns on the line are fre quent. There have been no wrecks insofar as the cars are concerned, but trouble, in the past, has developed with the trolley wires and the power whereby cars were not run for consid erable periods.

Phone HERE FOR COURT Senator Thompson Is Topeka Visitor This Week. j 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From ihm column mf THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL It Is Certain He Will Seek To Ketain His Toga. William H. Thompson. senior United States senator from Kansas, is in Topeka this week attending: the October session of the state supreme court. He will probably leave Topeka Wednesday for Kansas City, Kan., where he is associated with Fred Rob ertson, L'nited States district attorney, in the practice of law. While he will not make a formal statement at this time, there is no doubt concerning Senator Thompson's plan to seek a renomination and re election. Tn spite of the extensive publicity to the contrary, there is little real evidence of opposition to Senator Thompson in the coming senatorial primaries. His party as sociates rea lize he has brought more patronage, to Kansas than any man who ever went to Washington from tli is state. Of course there are in stances where men wanted postoffices and jobs and failed to land. The party leaders, though, are looking at the grand total, and there is rather slim probability that the Bourbon senator will face a primary fight. Conversation concerning the proba bility that Victor Murdock will oppose Senator Thompson has been ex hausted. Murdock is now on the fed eral trades commission at a nice little salary of $10,000 a year and no cam paign worries or expenses. So there is little probability that he will so much as think about running. Senator Thompson. who floored Walter Roscoe Stubbs by 18.000 in the election of 1912. has played close to the national administration in Wash ington, has supported President Wil son in his war program and holds a collection of important senate commit tee assignments. MARTIN LUTHER DAY Ministerial Union Derides on Celebra tion of Anniversary ill Topeka. The four-hundredth anniversary of the climax of the work of JIartin Luther will be celebrated in every church in the city the last of this month, it has been decided at a meet ins of the Ministerial union. The work of Martin Luther will be re called from practically every pulpit of the city during the last week of the month. Perhaps '.he largest feature of the church program in celebration of the Retormation will be a mass meeting October 31 at the city auditorium. Tentative plans call for a united dem onstration on that date as the anni versary of the nailine of the ninetv five theses on the door of the Castle church, a Wittenberg. The program calls for a celebrated church' speaker tor tnis occasion, but as yet no names have been suggested. A community sing of the Luther hymns will also be on the program. Then another fea ture of the celebration will be a Grand Reformation oratorio to be given by the local church men and women. Sunday, October 28, has been des ignated ar the day on which every minister of the city will preach on the works of Martin Luther and on the Reformation. The services will be held in the morning.

William Duras, a Nebraskan, former ly vice-consul at Liege and recently an employe of the American consulate in Petrograd and the American legation at Bucharest, in a Russian jail for more than a year. Vigorous agitation for Duras's re lease was started here today by influ ential A mericans, who accuse tlv American embassy in Petrosrad of to tal la'k of i ntrwt. in t h ease, be- lr. S. K. Sheldon returned yesterday from cause Duras is a Bryan appointee. Denied Arrowt at First. A fter leaving PuehareHt. Duras started home thru Russia. At the frontier, when he was examined, the em ba s,sy sea I and stationery were found in his bairsnee and he was ar rested. He was brought to Petrojxrad where an American embassy employe saw him on the Nevski Prospekt es corted by soldiers and notified the embassy. It was two months before the Russians would admit that Duras was in custody. American officials were finally per mitted to talk to him and when the revolution came, opening all jails, Duras was among those freed. Ho started at once for home. At the bor der, however, he was re-arrested be cause of his lack of a passport. Once again he was sent back to jail in Petrograd. For the second time he was freed after a brief stay. Duras alleged that sentiment was against him in the American embassy because he was a Bryan appointee and he de parted after his second experience with Russian jails, without asking for a passport. The result was that he was again arrested at the border and is now in jail.. :b.lh:::v?.b.'!. i i i j i i i RAISE NEW POINT Bone Dry Law May Help Out Liquor Violators, Lawyers Contend It Knocks Out Penitentiary Sentence. The bone dry law may prove a boon to persistent liquor violators thru which they may escape a penitentiary sentence. During the present term of the district court it will fall to the lot of Judge- AVhitcomb to decide this point of law. There are three liquor cases on the docket in which the county has pre pared a felony charge, punishable by a state prison term, for persistent vio lations of the liquor law. The-first case appeared on the criminal docket today in which Bee Adams is the de fendant. Klisha Scott, a Topeka attorney, im mediately raised the point which will decide the disposition of all three cases following Judge W'hitcomb's ruling. John J. Schenck and Tinkham Veale are other attorneys with similar cases who are watching with interest for Judge W'hitcomb's decision in the Adams case. In a motion to quash, Scott main tains that in no section of the bone dry statute is state prison mentioned as a punishment for a violation of any section. A prison term and a fine are the only punishments provided in the stringent law made by the state legislature. "Where no sales are proven and liquor is merely found in the posses sion of any person, even if he has been found guilty of liquor violations, Scott contends that under the intent of the bone dry law the man escapes a state prison sentence. Robert D. Garver, county attorney, maintains that the statute states that it is addi tional and supplemental to all other laws and that the felony charge may be as applicable now as in the past. In these three cases, liquor has merely been found in the possession of those charged with persistent vio lations. No sales have been proven it is declared, and therefore no pun ishment is applicable excepting that set forth in the bone dry law pertain ing to those in whose possession liquor is found. Kansas mill and elevator men may meet in Topeka in the next few days to discuss phases of the federal food administration law. Trouble con fronting Kansas grain men in secur ing supplies of grain sufficient to keep mills and elevators running is occa sion for alarm in a number of sections of the state. Contradictory rulings by the gov ernment grain commission and the district director in Kansas City has caused trouble in Kansas. One ruling by the district director provided against shipments of grain to any point except Kansas City, the zone center. He ruled that grain must then be shipped back into Kansas or sold to Kansas City elevators. The ruling was finally set aside, but several brands of new trouble have been en countered by the grain dealers. E. J. .Smiley, secretary of the state associa tion, has asked for a meeting in To peka some time within a week. no sch6olcoal Only Two t ars of Fuel to Keep Topeka Children Warm.

LOOKING JNTO FUTURE t'nitod States Not I-ax on Prepared ness for I'eaee Negotiations. TO PREVENT FIRES Observance National Day, October 9, Thruont Kansas. Cold weather is nearly here and the city schools have only two cars pf coal, according to a report made to the school board. This coal, it was stated, would last the schools less than a week. In rase of a real cold spell the schools probably will have to close down, the board agreed. The local coal dealers have refused to bid on the winter's supply for the schools. The dealers claim that they cannot get the fuel and state they are afratd to establish a price until the retail cost is announced by the government. Lemons Whiten and Beautify the Skin! Make Cheap Lotion The juice of two fresh lemons There will be a more general ob servance of national fire prevention day in Kansas this year than ever be fore since the custom was instituted, unless all sijens fail. Practically every city and county superintendent in the state is co-operating in the distribu tion among their teachers of a bulle tin furnished by the state fire mar shal. This bulletin contains material for a program consisting of recita tions, songs and subject matter for es says and talks on fire prevention, to be used on fire prevention day, Tues day, October 9, the anniversary of the great Chicago fire. Already orders have been received by the department for about 14.000 copies? Posters calling attention to fire prevention day are being sent out to every postoffice, mayor, fire chief and newspaper in the state with the re quest that they be posted in some public place. Fire departments are requested to put on a demonstration run as a part of the day's arrangements. City offi cials are requested to Inspect their fire fighting equipment with a view to bringing- it up to standard if it is found to be deficient. Only recently a small town in Kansas suffered a se vere fire loss because when the alarm was sounded the apparatus was found to be unfit for use. A general clean up of all streets, alleys and yards is suggested, especially the removal of all weeds and tall grass. Private in dividuals are urged to inspect their flues on that day or before fall fires are started and to put their cellars and attics in order. Paris. Oct. 2. The Temps regarding the mission given CoL E. AI. House in gathering historical data on the en trance of America into the war, says: "President Wilson thinks it is im possible to govern withoutforeseeing and that one cannot foresee without studying. While the United States is still engaged in building its powerful war .machine its president creates an instrument that will serve later to pre pare for peace. This demonstration of study is confided to Colonel House, a sagacious man who keeps himself outside of politics. Thus the knowledge of all the specialists may be centralized and elaborated m accord with the national interest and placed in the hands of the government. Happy organizers are they who will build the future." HIS LAST CIGARET Wife Grants Husband Final Smoke and Prayer Before Shooting. Butte, Mont., Oct. 2.
