Big Firms Have Hundreds of Tons, It Is Discovered. IT GAME IN OVER NIGHT? That Is One M ay To Account for Big Supply. Monaghan Says Shortage of Teams Cuts Deliveries. Despite the fact that four or five of the larger retail companies in the city have hundreds of tons of coal, with the total running into four fig ures, stored in their yards, Guilford rinfllcv of the MCleprv-Dudlev Coal company today estimated that there is I i only enough fuel in Topeka to last I about ten days. Future deliveries, he said, were uncertain Dudley reported that his company has a good stock of Southern Kansas nut, Illinois, Arkansas anthracite and Canyon City coal in its yards. Only a few of the Topeka companies, includ ing Jackson-Walker, H. L. Peppmeyer and P. J. Monaghan have any material amount in their yards, he said. Have Only High Priced Coal. "I understand," he said, "that most of the other dealers have but little on hand. The coal which is stored here is mostly the high priced coal, with the exception of the Kansas product." In the Jackson-Walker and Topeka Coal company (Peppmeyer) yards on East Eighth street hundreds of tons of coal are piled on the ground. The Jackson-Walker company has a pile of Illinois coal about a block long and as high as a one-story house. Great piles of Southern Kansas and semi anthracite range alongside. Officials of the Jackson-Walker company said today that the most of the semi anthracite is sold and advised con sumers to "buy now." In the Topeka coal yards, across the alley from the Jackson-Walker yards, many tons of Illinois and Southern Kansas coal are stored. Railroads Doing Fine. The firms which have this storage coal are the ones that have been de crying the alleged coal shortage in the loudest voice. A Topekan passing the Jackson-Walker and Peppmeyer yards today for the first time remembered that dealers said there was very little coal in town Wednesday and remark ed that the railroads must have been doing a rushing business Wednesday night. When asked about the coal stored in his yards, H. L. Peppmeyer said: I x uii it i riiitiuuer in hi trie govern ment agents came tnru nere last spring and advised dealers to store high-priced coals. I was one of the darn fo. Is who bought about 1,2 00 tons of Illinois coal.' Monaghan Needs Teamster Monaghan is also decrying the shortage of teamsters, saying this con dition is cutting down deliveries. With the weather man predicting that the temperature for tonight will be the lowest for this date on record in thirty years, prices remain the same. Semi-anthracite is selling for $9 and Illinois for $8.50 a ton, higher than in cities east and west of Topeka. P. J. Monaghan, when asked what kind of coal he had on hand today, evaded the question. "I don't know," he said, "I haven't been to the yards yet." t B-R-R! IT'S COLD! Mercury Will Fall to the 25 Mark Tonight. This Will Be Coldest October 18 Aight in 30 Years.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, TYPHOID FEVER RAGES IN MANY PARTS OF STATE 52 Cases Reported During Month of September. Butler, Dickinson and Leaven worth Counties 'Worst. HERINGM UNSANITARY PLACE Ice Is Made From Springs Fed by Cess Pools J 9,000 Free Vaccinations Made by Board of Health. Kansas is infested with a typhoid fever epidemic that extends to many sections of the state. Reports for September, as compiled today in the offices of the state board of health, show 525 cases. More than 9,000 free vaccinations have been given by the state b?aTrd in Cowley, Butler, Dickm- son and Leavenworth counties. In Herington the state board today announced that it had directed the criminal prosecution of an ice manu facturer who is alleged to have sold ice from polluted and impure water. News of a typhoid epidemic in the southeastern Kansas mining camps came today from Crawford county. Scores of men, women and children are suffering from the disease in the Butler county oil fields. Eldorado's September report showed 84 cases, while 115 cases exist in the county. Wichita has 34 cases, while Topeka reported 23 cases in September, in cluding four on rural routes outside the city and several patients in hos- pitals from Herington and other j towns. j Improper sanitation and impure wa- ter is given by the state board as the i cause for conditions in practically all i of the towns. In the Butler county i oil fields. Dr. J. J. Sippy stated, enor- mous growth in the population of the towns and lack of proper sanitary reg- ulations have caused an enormous spread of the disease. j Herington Worst Place. j Perhaps the most glaring case of al- i leged criminal carelessness was in Herington. Many residents of the town use spring water. Doctor Sippy today declared these springs are fed by cesspools and stagnant ponds. But j the criminal part of the condition in the town is alleged to have been due j to the sale of ice manufactured from unfiltered and impure water. During I the summer months water for the manufacture of ice was secured from a large reservoir owned by the Rock island railroad. It is declared that in i some instances seepage from sewers and cesspools reached th reservoir. ice is alleged to have been manufac- tured and sold to Herineton families without the precaution by the distilling or puntying the water. "We have directed the Dickinson county attorney to prescute the ice manufacturer and expect to press the case," said Doctor Sippy. "Everything i possible has been done by our depart- ment We placed large posters in every home in the town and urged everyone to boil their water. We ad ministered 550 free vaccinations and something like 150 vaccinations have been administered by physicians of the town." The board of health record shows 11 typhoid cases in Herington in Sep tember. Dr. Sippy said there are three Herington patients in Topeka hospitals. One Herington woman, he said, died in a Topeka hospital a few days ago. In Cowley and Leavenworth count ies vaccination campaigns have been conducted. Dr. Sippy said the state board had directed 4,000 free vacci nations in each of these counties. About 500 vaccinations have been made in Butler county. People Should Boil Water. "We can't go into every home and make people boil the water, nor can we make them apply methods of sani tation in toilets and outbuildings," said Dr. Sippy. "We have done every thing to help these people. Some of them seemingly won't be helped. In most of the towns the local health officers receive a smaller salary than the janitors in the public school build ings. Yet, in the main, these local health officers have worked with us. Personally, I have been giving about 18 hours a day to the work. I aban doned my vacation period in ordr to stay on the job and help relieve con ditions." Typhoid death records for August were compiled today. They 'showed 43 deaths, as against 50 deaths a year ago. September death records will not be available for several days, maybe not before November I. Telegrams received by the health department today from Crawford county indicated a serious condition I in the southeastern Kansas mining j-l iiuuiuci at nave oeen reported from camps in the Pittsburg district and a special health officer has been sent into the county. The September typhoid record of B25 cases is against 37 for the same month last year, or an increase of 151 cases over last year. The principal typttoid reports for Kansas towns in September showed: Augusta, 20 cases; Eldorado, 84; Herington, 11; Cimarron, 12; Leavenworth, 15; Cha nute. 9; Topeka, 23; Wichita, 34; Kansas City. 15.

Naval and military operations agairist the Aland islands, possibly may be the next step in German strategy. Indications of such a measure are found in the strategical discussion of the Oesel island campaign in various German newspapers which point out the de sirability of sewing up the Gulf of Finland by acquiring the bases to the north as well as to the south of the entrance. The Aland islands, of which there are eighty, are in the Gulf of Bothnia, north of the entrance to the Gulf of Finland- OFFICERS TRY VALIANTLY TO STEM RUSSIAN RETREAT 1 lAYvW'to Cc ft? 5 AL f) Russian officers holding up a truck to take off men.

DESTROYER HIT BY GERMAN U-BOAT TORPEDO Gunner's Mate Killed; Five Jackies Slightly Wounded. Crippled Warship Makes Har bor; Submarine Escapes. IT'S U-BOAT'S FIRST SCARE One of Many U. S. Destroyers Patrolling U-Boat Zone. to Lose Life in War. Washington, Oct. 18. The first American destroyer victim of a Ger man U-boat lies crippled today in a European harbor, while one of her crew is dead and five others are slightly injured. The dead man, Osmond K. Ingram, gunner's mate of Pratt City, Ala., is the seventeenth navy man whose life has been taken by the Huns since war started. Other3 lost were gunners aboard armed American merchant men. Navy authorities here regarded to day as remarkable the fact that the vessel had merely been crippled when once it came within line of the tor pedo fire. They explained the escape as probably due to the fact that the submarine aim was impaired by the speed or quick maneuvering of the de stroyer. American "luck" and same ness were commented upon. While the navy withholds other than the mere fact that the vessel was' torpedoed and made port, it is as sumed tlTat she can be repaired and that she will be back on duty within a short time. The wounded men are: Herman H. Pankratz, St. Louis. William E. Merritt. New York. Frank W. Kruse. Toledo. Patrick Rutledge. New Tork. William Seimer, Dundas, Minn.

The correspon dent of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, who wart permitted to travel on the train which took Emperor William to the Balkans and to lunch in the-Restaurant car with the emperor, says a dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Amsterdam, sends the following to his newspaper: "'H1n majesty sat down to the table with the observation that he had just read Professor Painleve's first speech as French premier. o M. Painleve wants Alsace-Lorraine, does he?" exclaimed the em peror. Good, but he must come and take it." The emperor then treated the com pany to a eulogy of the late King Carl and Queen Elizabeth of Rumania, Whose good work, he said has been Undone in a few months by the hun ger for gold and power of certain agi tators. "At the conclusion of the lunch which consisted of meat and fish courses and bread and cheese, about the same as might be served in a middleclass household, the kaiser said: "It is unworthy for any German to live well when even the best people go without things. What we have of foodstuffs is common property which by just division is sufficient to keep us aliv for an unlimited time and which permit us to await final victory with calm. Who takes more than his share sins against those who serve the fatherland." REFUSE TO SELLSUGAR Grocers Limit Sales to Pound, Some Two Pounds to Customer. New York, Oct. 18.

Re tailers demand twelve cents a pound for smrar in many instances. Dealers declared they were unable to get suger from the refiners and predicted acute shortage by the end Of the week. .T Housewives who tried to lay in a good sugar supply by going from Store to store and buying the maxi mum allowance of two pounds, found ffrocers refusing to sell any sugar whatsoever, except to regular cus tomers.

Washington, Oct. 18. General Bliss, chief of staff of the army, haa abrupt ly ended the practice of commission ing officers from civil life to the staff corps of various branches of the army and calling them into active service before actual need for their service ex ists. Indications that the practice has grown out of all bounds, in the medi cal, signal and quartermasters' corps, led to the action. The effect of the order will he to hold up temporarily a number of commissions, including those of many men of the flying corps who have graduated from the ground and fly ing schools.

HINDEMBURG HAS LOST HIS PUNCH ON WEST FRONT Three Different Defensive Schemes Proven Failures. Events Fast Culminating for Great German Retreat. NOW MAKING LAST STAND Teutons Haven't Made Offen sive fove Since A'erdun. Trench System Passe Groping for Way To Hold Oil. BY WIIXIAM PHII..JP SIMMS. With the British Armies In Flan ders, Oct. IS. The war on the west ern front today has entered a new phase and probably its last. The fighting there is as different now from what it was in 1914 and 1915 as It could possibly be. First there was open warfare when the Germans swept over Bel gium and France. Second there came trench fighting which slowly developed until the tak ing of a single trench was an opera tion as big as Waterloo. Now one sees practically open country battles with the enemy engaging in a sort of rear guard action which, when fully expanded, will mean a Prussian rout. Only the sudden collapse of hostili ties can prevent this curtain on the kaiser's three-act drama. Verdun, Germans' Last Drive. Not since the crown prince broke his eaglet feathers against Verdun more than a year ago have the Ger man armies dared a real offensive on the western front. Since the Somme, Hindenburg has been openly on the defensive and the present methods of fighting are the direct outcome of that general's gropings to find a means to hold out. The Somme battles were a series of storming operations the taking of trench systems that stretched for miles in veritable mazes of support ing cuts and channels. So long as Hindenburg believed he might still break thru the allies' lines, he con tinued his trench warfare. He kept his front lines full of men. Tens of thousands of his troops were killed before he awoke to the realization that he was losing his punch. Hin denburg dug the trenches and- dug outs deeper often thirty or even fifty feet below ground. But his men still died like i in traps when British Tommies -v.- bombs down the dugout openi.; rolled charges of high explosive, ,vn the almost perpendicular stai::;. In the fire trenches where Hinden burg kept troops standing shoulder to shoulder to repel attacks, allied shells tore whole companies to shreds. wnne tne great German ta-!ueian blundered on, British and French guns thundered and the super-German labyrinth of trenches became an appalling shambles. Somme Drive Crushed Hope. At last Hindenburg saw a light. The offensive was no longer his. He must fight henceforth a defensive war. The famous duel on the Somme last winter was step number one. He abandoned his once precious trenches, now become a hell hole littered with putrifying corpses of German youths. Hindenburg's next step was observ ed during the battle of Arras in April. His trenches were still there, but now thinly manned. The bulk of troops were kept in support trenches hundreds of yards behind. But his plan was still faulty and later, at Messines, In June German troops were more widely scattered. Machine guns were no longer fired from trenches, but from special iso lated posts. Also trench mortars. And specially trained counter-attacking troops were held in readiness to charge the tijed British as soon as ob jectives had been won. But the British got on just the same and Hindehhitrg began to lose faith in trenches. July 31, beginning the bat tle of Flanders, found the Germans still differently disposed. Now "Pill Boxes" Fail. There were occupying not trenches so much as concrete shell holes two or three linked together with short tunnels. "Pill boxes" steel and con crete turrets whose mud-covered tops were just above the ground, made their debut and from their narrow slits machine guns spat death over the Flemish quagmires. These shell hole positions and pill boxes with scraps of trenches a few yards long, plus pat ches of barbed wire entanglements here and there, covered an area a mile or so in depth ant such a thing as a fire trench had ceased to exist. The idea, of course, as British of ficers explained it today, was to make it necessary for the British to fire a million rounds of shells to kill a dozen men. The shell holes and pill box tops were well nigh Invisible from the air and only a direct hit suf ficed to put them entirely out of com mission. Then when Tommies ad vanced they would come across an unsuspected bit of barbed wire en filaded nv machine gun fire. Finally after crossing such a zone as this, they would meet rresn troops in a terrific counter-attack. Hindenburg's Move Now. The plan worked only partially. Then came the battle of Menin road when the unheard of creeping barrage used by the British took the fight out of even the pill boxes. The rain of shells flattened everything. Likewise the same terrible curtain of fire often wiped out German counter-attacking troops before they got started. Such is the fighting today. It is now Hindenburg's move. We can't make all the Clothes in town, so we only make the Best of them. $91,732 TO CHAMPS Every Member of White Sox Team Gets Check for $3,669.

German artillery was exceedingly active on the Flanders battle front, south of the Ypres Comines canal and In the neighbor hood of Zonnebeke and Broodseinde, Field Marshal Haig reported today. Elsewhere he reported a successful raid carried out by London regiments in the neighborhood of Gavrelle last night. Several of the enemy were killed and made prisoners and the British casualties were light. Break Up German Attack. Paris. Oct. 18. A German attack near Bezonvaux on the Verdun front was broken up' last night by the French it is announced 'officially. Heavy artillery fighting is in progress in this sector, and also on the Aisne front. Hindenburg at Oesel Island. London, Oct. 18. Report that Field Marshal Hindenburg had per sonally landed on the island of Oesel to direct German operations against Russia, coupled with Petrograd offi cial statements indicating increasing success of that campaign, created the widest interest here this afternoon. BRISTOW PLANS Contlnnert from Page One the defense of Senator La Follette in several recent editorials. He Is Certain to Run. While Bristow has never made a formal announcement, he has also made no effort to conceal his plans, He has never discouraged reports that he would run and now. that his term as chairman of the state utilities com- mission is nearly ended, new interest 6 is added to the situation by Fred S. Jackson's activities as a candidate to succeed Bristow. It is known In state I house circles that Jackson is an active candidate to succeed Bristow and his candidacy is taken as an acceptance of tne report that Bristow plans to leave the commission this wTinter.

Appointment to a place on the state commission, tho, would probably terminate any guber natorial aspirations at this time. Jackson and Sessions are the only candidates thus far mentioned for Bristow's job. Jackson was attorney general from 1907-11 and congress man from the Fourth district from 1911-13.

RAISES CAPITAL TO 25 MILLION Big Oklahoma Concern To En ter State on Large Scale. To Use More Than 4 Million for Work in Kansas. 37 CHARTERS GRANTED TODAY Copan Petroleum Co. of Topeka Has $64,000 Capital. Five New State Banks To Open in Short Time. Carter Oil company interests today outlined plans for extensive develop ment of the Kansas fields, when they increased the company's capital in this state from $50,000 to $4,360,810, and I announced a gross increase or capi talization from two to twenty-five million dollars. Following the action of the Standard Oil companies of Kansas and Indiana In seeking to se cure court permission to engage in development work in this state, the Carter project today was accepted as an indication of most widespread oil activities.

At this time tne company holds some of the choice properties in these fields, owning large tank farms in Butler county fields. Oil men regard today's move as culmination of a plan to enter Kan- sas in competition with some of the largest producing companies, it Is Oklahoma Company. One report in Topeka today was to the effect that the increased capltaliz- Btion "Vt Ca,rter. means a consolida- on with the Empire, one of the larg- this time. It is also reported That Carter interests propose the construe tion of a pipe-line and refinery to handle its Kansas output. Location of a refinery in Kansas by the Carter interests would doubtless give new impetus to 4evelopment in tjhe Greenwood county district, where .the. Carter company has in the last year bought, thousands of acres of choice leases. With the Butler county fields established it is the belief of oil operators that the Carters will prob ably be among the first companies to swing to the east for development In Greenwood county, where some thirty or forty producing wells now insure a new and productive field. In Oklahoma the Carter company is on a footing with the largest pro ducing companies. Its increased cap italization is said to insure sufficient i holdings.

Grounds To Qnestion"Jndgment and Ability" of Ex-Ambassador Copenhagen, Oct. 18. The Deutsch bank admits In the Vossische Zeitung, which prints four columns on the Bolo Pasha affair," that it transferred a sum of money, amount not stated, to Ambassador von Bernstorff thru Hugo Schmidt. The bank acted upon instructions from a source "generally responsiple for the payment of salaries and other payments to our ambassa dors and did not concern Itself with the purposes to which the money was applied." The Deutsche Tages Zeitung makes the Bolo affair the text for an attack on the judgment and ability of von Bernstorff, whose candidacy for Im perial chancellorship evidently Is still feared by the pan-Germans. Bolo Pasha, now under arrest In Paris, as a German spy came to New York In February, 1916 and got nearly $1,700,000 from, von Bernstorff, then German ambassador at Washington, to finance his activities in France which included a plan to bring about a separate peace between France and Germany, according to testimony ob tained by the attorney general of New York early this month. Hugo Schmidt, formerly represent ing the Deutsche bank in New xork has admitted that he acted as pay master in the Bolo affairs. Schmidt told the attorney general he did not know what use was to be made of the large sum he paid to von Bernstorff and did not know Bolo Pasha per sonally. B-R-RI JTS COLD!

Coach Elmer Bearg's high school football team will tackle one of the hardest propositions it must face this season Friday afternoon when it goes against the strong Kansas City, Kan., eleven on the latter's own loam. The local lads will leave here on the Santa Fe Plug tomorrow morning ad will return as soon after the game as pos sible. Bearg has a good supply of talent and has some potential football stars, but most of his men are green and inexperienced and for this reason it is taking considerable work to get them speeded up. However, the boys are willing, there is no trouble or friction as there was last season and both Bearg and Mr. Hapworth predict big things for their men ,a little later on. Boys Work Hard. The H. S. lads have been working hard for their Kansas City game this week and ought to be in good condi tion. It is probable that they will be handicapped both m weight and ex perience, but they expect to give i good account of themselves just the same. The high type of players the Topeka high school has this season is shown by the following compliment paid the team and officials by the Frankfort Indx following the 0 to 0 tie game played with Frankfort here the week before last: Frankfort's Compliment. "Frankfort never expects to meet a finer type of people than the people they mixed with in Topeka. The team was made up of a mighty fine bunch of fellows. The students on the side line were just as nice. And when the Frankfort men met Principal Stout, Professor Hepworth and Coach Bearg they did not wonder that the team and the student body in general were so well behaved and courteous and congenial. "These are the really great things of the game after all. All shall long remember the visit to Topeka and hope to have them make Frankfort a visit some time." tig p nnr irifirntrtf iiiiiiuxitiuiiiinuiiinii iiiiniinuuiiiiiiiiifiiiiminfinitf in fiiiuim it lantin ntvtp I EVERYBODY'S THEATER j iHHimiimmiiiiiiiminiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinm lll!u" 'ajKrwiniiiiiHiiuininuiiuuiiiiiiiii "S. if 'r--m mi i i III aVD-: 1 IMovEL'TYl! w Daily at 3:00, 7:13, 9:15 I r IVhpro werv mnmpnt is s nlPAKUre Always your money's worth sometimes V more in Real High Class VAUDEVILLE that will satisfy the appetite for amuse- men.

RUN BIG RACE TODAY Omar Khayyam and Hourless Meet in Turf Classic This Afternoon. Laurel, Mi, Oct. 18.

In their previous meeting, Omar Khayyam beat Hourless. That was in the Lawrence realization stakes at Belmont park last month.

Z. Q. Clevenger, director of athletics at the Kansas Agricultural college, today said the athletic board at the college already has passed upon this and rul ed that Randels was eligible to play. Clevenger said Randels played two years with Southwestern college of Wirfield but that this institution was not listed in the Missouri valley hand book as one which would count against Randels' term of playing In the valley conference. UNDER THE IRON HEEL Germans Extort Millions From Strick en French City of Lille. f Washington, Oct. 18. The dignity and nobility with which officials of the stricken city of Lille, France, have met the extortionate demands of their German masters is revealed in a let ter from Charles De La Salle, mayor of that city, to the German general in chief, von Gravenitz, a copy of which has reached here. The mayor wrote". "Your letter is at hand. It causes me very great surprise. Hardly had we repaid the balance of the imposed tax of 24,000,000 when you asked for a new payment of 33.000,000. During the first year of your occupancy, when Lille was still in possession of the greater part of its resources, yoy claimed the sum of 28,000,000, during the second year the sum of 30,000, 000, and during the third year, when the city was in dire distress you doubled the tribute and raised It to 60,000,000. "Such heavy demands are as ex tortionate as they are unjustified. They are contrary to the spirit and letter of The Hague conventions. "I beg to state in the name of the municipal council, which I represent, that the city of Lille, curbed-under the yoke, isolated from the world, unable to appeal to any court against the arbitrary power of which she is the victim, will pay the new contributions on the date indicated but she will pay them under duress." BY ED L. KEEN. London, Oct. 18. Germany is bluf fing again according to London's in terpretation today of Amsterdam re ports of German wireless messages hinting at inclusion of American waters in the submarine zone. The belief of authoritative leaders expressed to the United Press was that if Germany actually did proclaim America within the zone of her ruthlessness, she would be unable ef fectively to carry out any submarine war there. It was admitted she might send a few submarines to the Ameri can coast and at the most might plant a few mines. But Germany is already using her submarines to the fullest capacity trying to starve out England. More over, long ago she started Out to dis regard her zone limitations. Would Not Reduce Shipping. ven if Germany should include America in her zone of U-boat opera tions leading authorities were a unit in declaring such a step could not in any way affect the naval transporta tion situation. Satisfaction was expressed today over the continued decrease in the Germans' submarine effectiveness as shown in the weekly statement of British shipping losses. Only twelve ships of more than 1,600 tons were sunk, according to admiralty an nouncement. Efforts of the German submarine advocates to explain the steadily drop ping errectiveness or the submersibles furnished amusement here today. Count Zu Reventlow, foremost sup- porter of ruthlessness, in a recent ar ticle in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, seek to explain away the matter by tne excuse mat ships are being held out of ocean service for special reasons and that changes are constantly being maae in snipping routes. He quoted an American source of authority" for the statement that the trip be tween England and the United States how often takes three weeks or more. HOLD 100 AMERICANS Captives Off Armed Ships Retained in German Prison Camps. Washington. Oct. 18.

This government recognized Ger many's right to keep these men pris oners as most of them were taken off armed merchantmen since the decla ration of war. POOL U. S. SUPPLIES

American Board in France Assists in Army Purchasing. Paris, Sept. 10 Correspondence of. the Associated Press.) The newest adjunct of the United States purchas- j ing board which was created several j weeks ago on the initiative of General Pershing is an auxiliary civilian ad visory council composed of five or six American business men resident in France. These men, whose names have not yet been made public, have been asked to lend their assistance to the board in its gigantic work and toj facilitate its operation by advice on conditions and prices in France and by giving the board the benefit of their expert knowledge whenever it may be needed. The purchasing board is considering a plan of pooling all supplies that majr be procured. Thus all meat supplies arriving from America for the Amer ican troops may be thrown in with French supplies procured by the board, and. the two armies fed from the joint stock. novvWtime Christian Churches Should Send Workers to Egypt.

The Christian churches of the world now have an unprecedented opportun ity to spread their religion in the Mos lem districts of Egypt, according to Dr. James G. Hunt, who opened the fall meeting of the State Missionary institute Wednesday night at the United Presbyterian church. At present nearly half of the 12, 000,000 Mohammedans have weak ened on their religion, due to the failure of their "holy war" against the allies. Only one Christian church is now represented in the field. That church is the United Presbyterian, ac cording to Doctor Hunt. A big relig ious -drive in the Mohammedan field would net thousand: of converts to Christianity, he believes. The missionaries who have been canvassing the state for missionary funds gathered in Topeka Wednesday night for the institute of foreign mis sionaries. Many more workers are expected today. The feature of the institute program will be given tonight at the. Second united .eresbyterian church.

''Follow Me" didn't attract as big a following in Topeka as was expected. Briefly described, "Follow Me" was comprised insofar as merit is concern ed, of Anna Held, not as vivacious as she used to be; an elaborate and at tractive chorus and Venita FitzhMgh, prima donna commedienne. Harry Short was in the premier masculine role and imitated the George Cohan brand of comedy. Lewis Seymour furnished a few clever lines here and there that were amusing. Ward ap peared in comedy creations. Anna Held, herself, however, was all that could have been asked. Her costumes were elaborate, especially her famous peacock creation. Her quaint French spiced English gave her lines and songs the necessary impetus. Es pecially quaint and fascinating was her laughter song altho, as presented here, it was only a brief outline of the original which turned a New York audience into almost a riot. Venita Fitzhugh and Harry Seymour drew considerable favor. The chorus can be best described as a beauty show. Its singing and dancing were above criticism. It was large enough to fill the stage and was elaborately cos tumed. The girls themselves were pretty, petite and graceful. II. E. C.

Her death fol lowed a brief illness. Was Given Title by Pope. It is estimated by close friends that Mrs. Ryan had given $20,000,000 to various objects connected with the Catholic church. Because of her benefactions, Mrs. Ryan was made a papal countess in 1907 by Pope Pius X, but she never used the title. At that time she and Countess Anna Leary were the only women in this country entitled to use that title. Among some of Mrs. Ryan's gifts were fifteen chapels in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

N. B. Inquirers should be careful to ob serve two points: Enclose ft 2-cent stamp nd addrrss their litters to Washington, s above, and not to Topeka, otherwise de lay and needlesB evuense are Incurred. The suggestion made by Commis sioner W. L. Porter at the League of Municipalities meeting that public im provement be curtailed during the war doubtless will bring; forth criti cism and objections from the advo cates of "business as usual." Cessation of activity in any particular line of Industry would be likely to grow and spread until its effects became danger ous to the welfare of the country. There are enough men and dollars In the United States to carry on Its ordi nary business and the war at the same time. It Is a matter for congratula tion that the masses of the people since the war began have paid little attention to the constant appeals to do this or that or refrain from doing the other thing. They have gone ahead doing whatever is essential to aid the government In the prosecution of the war and have in a large measure ig nored the various suggestions regard ing changes in their daily habits and regular occupations. The people are entitled to commendation for the dis crimination they have shown In sepa rating the grain from the chaff. Chicago officials have started out to break up the milk trust. This will be sad news to the consumers, who will be called upon ultimately to make good all the expense to which the milkmen are put by the litigation and disturbance of their business. "Trust busting" is the one big joke lri the af fairs of the American public. In seeking for the origin of the Kan sas City stockyards fire first find the German. The latest invention designed to bring the war to a speedy close is one that permits aviators to fly at a height which places them out of reach of air craft guns. No effort appears to have been made to keep the news from Ber lin. A large amount of camouflage has emanated from both sides since hostilities began. The victory will be won by the side having the larger armies and the bigger guns and that of course is the side of the entente allies. Vanderlip's advice to the banks to eliminate all loans' except those made to the government, if followed, prob ably would succeed in putting a seri ous crimp in the business of the coun try. To the uninitiated Into the world of finance it appears that what the government needs as much as any thing else is that business of every kind shall continue in order that the revenues shall come up to expecta tions. Some kinds of industries might be Ladly crippled If denied access to the banks. There, is plenty of money in the country to meet all require ments and if the government do not get its share failure will be due to t.ad management on the part of the treasury department. The department concedes that it bungled the first lib erty loan. Those who wish to Hooverize on fuel Bhould obtain pointers from the janitors of apartment buildings. Come on in; the water's fine, is the substance of President Wilson's ad dress to the state banks in behalf of the federal reserve system. It is aV sirabie that the country should present a united money front to its enemies. Our feeling of abhorrence toward a nation which has cast aside all the traditions of civilized warfare, that puts arsenic in wells', that places ground glass in food, that hurls broad cast disease germs for man and beast, that hands out poisoned candy to trusting children, that Intentionally bombs hospitals filled with sickand dying, that tortures its prisoners of war, that marches its school children with waving flags on a special nation al holiday when a 'Lusitania" filled with helpless women and children goes down, writes H. H. Windser In Popular Mechanics, does not apply to those who themselves, or whose pa rents, tho born in Get lanv, are loyal, true Americans. Special honor to all those who have already volunteered to fight under the Stars and Stripes to rebuke such wrong, or who have tak en a pronounced stand against such Iniquity! It remains, however, for many others who call themselves German-Aroerlcans, to come out squarely and unmistakably, and thus render impossible any suspicion of dis loyalty. The resident here of what ever foreign descent owes it to the country of which he Is voluntarily a citizen, and to himself, to do this. If he cannot do this, he should either return to that other country whose cit izenship he places above ours or ex pect here the same treatment which his preferred foreign courwy is ac customed to administer in such cases. THE COAL SITUATION. So much is being said about the shortage of bituminous coal, and the general public realizes so little the Im portant gains in output made by, the operators under trying conditions, last summer, over all previous records, that the statement just issued by the United States geological survey on pro duction in 1917 compared with 1916 is particularly timely. In commenting on this report prepared by the statis ticians of the geological survey, Di rector George Otis Smith points out that the shortage is not due to the failure of the soft-coal mines to pro duce more coal than in the past, for the country on September 1 was about a month ahead of last year In output and is expected to finish the year with an increase of 10 per cent over 1916, the banner year, and of 2o per cent over 1915. The tremendous increase In manu facturing and transportation activity this year has created a demand for soft coal in excess of any in the past. an increase in demand that is difficult to measure in terms of tons but that is certainly more than the 10 per cent by which production has Increased. To meet this demand the mines have been producing soft coal at a rate nev er before equaled. In the second week of July, 1917, the average-daily production was more than 1,900,000 tons, the highest point yet attained; In the middle of August the lowest rate for the summer, 1, 638,000 tons, was recorded; and in the last week of September the dally rate was 1,823,000 tons. In the first eight months of 1917 the output of soft coal was 363,500,000 tons, or 87,000, 000 tons more than In the first eight months of 1916. In the same period shipments of anthracite Increased 16 per cent over those of 1916. Henry Allen has returned from Eu rope and business in Kansas politics may be expected to pick up as .soon as he reaches Wichita. It will be Inter esting to learn whether he has won the support of Will White during their sojourn together on the other side of the big water. After campaigning to gether and drinking out of the same canteen vmore than two months there should,, have been formed an entente cordlaleV which will redound to the glory, honor and success of both gen tlemen. SOMETHING TO FIGHT FOR. A statement of results to be derived from the war has been formulated by Colonel Roosevelt. He does not as sume, of course, to speak with offi cial authority; but he will be able to adduce geographic, ethnologic and re ligious in addition to diplomatic and political reasons for the program which he would have the peace con ference consider. He urges a free Arabia' and Ar menia, thus freeing subject peoples, both Christian and Mohammedan, frem Ottoman rule. He proposes Constantinople as a free city gov erned, it is to be assumed, by a mixed commission. This Is in accordance with views which have been held by European statesmen for many years and which were seriously discussed for practical application at the time of the Balkan wars, five years ago. He calls for Independence In Poland and in Finland, again seeking to preserve and strengthen a spirit of nationality which Is rich In tradition and possibil ity and which has persisted thru gen erations of submission to alien con trol. The Czechs also he would have Independent, thus segregating an ag gressive element of the conglomerate Austro-Hungarian population; and to the Jugo-SIavs he would give a na tional entity which they have always craved. Italia Irredenta, according to the Roosevelt program, would be re deemed; Alsace-Lorraine would again be happy under the tri-color; the Bal tic coast would fall to Poland, and the territory In Asia and Africa already taken from Its German colonizers by the Japanese and the British would remain in the hands of its conquerors. The spoils of war would thus be fairly apportioned; and the great ob ject of the war, namely, the establish ment and development of free insti tutions thruout the world, would be assured. For the United States Colonel Roosevelt ask no material compensa tion for the sacrifices which we shall make to produce so much of benefit for all the rest of the world. He calls only for a world-wide recognition "ot the Monroe doctrine, which will bring to this hemisphere the freedom for national development which the Roosevelt program assures to the old world. Among the new situations growing out of disturbances in the world of la bor Is a row among the officers of the United Mine Workers of America. It is too early to determine what effect this will have on the coal situation, but it Is probable that as usual the public will be the sufferer. THE TOPEKA STATE JOIKXAL EJJFOI&MATION BUREAU By FKEDEKIC J. HASKIN, Director, Washington, D. C. THE MELTING POT. Washington, I. C, Oct. 18. Wed ding rings, old coins," silver cups, dented spoons, tin foil, historic bul lets, old snuff boxes, seals, candle sticks so runs the list of articles poured into the first Red Cross "Melt ing Pot" here in Washington. They are now being converted into cash by smelting or by sale. For two months the melting pot in a conspicuous shop window in the downtown district has been swallowing gifts. The pot itself was soon filled and trinkets and heir looms overflowed in every airecuon, j filling the show window, nf windows adjoining. All of which was started by a little matron with more patriotism than ready cash to con tribute to the Red Cross fund. j Old -Trinkets Into Pot. A silver vinaigrette top, broken j spoons, and other bits of old metal were the contrioutions sne urousiu w a Washington newspaper man for his opinion as to their usefulness. He ventured that the things could be turned into money for the Red Cross and wrote up the incident for his paper, whereupon he forgot all about it. But the public greeted the story with enthusiasm, and hastened to hunt out grandfather's snuff box and mother's old locket, and demanded to know where to send their offerings. The need for organization was ap parent' and the Red Cross grasped the opportunity. A jeweler's offer to receive and dis pose of the articles under the super vision of the local chapter was ac cepted. Another jeweler furnished a big glass jar to hold the contribu tions. A Red Cross nurse appealed to the public for help from a poster made especially for the window and the Red Cros melting pot began to fill up and then to run over. The collection rapidly became an object of curiosity and interest, and the crowd about the window was often five or six deep. Among the historic gifts there figures certain 'gold bullion from Admiral Farragut's epaulets which long rested In Mrs. Farragut's scrap bag and later be came a part of the estate. A curious old watch belonged, according to the giver, to the late Captain Kidd, pi rate. A joker, reading of this dona tion, brought in a modern timepiece, which he solemnly designated as the property of Julius Caesar. Historic Gifts Are Included. A dainty French doll three feet high in court costume, an embroid ered Japanese kimono, shin plasters of Civil war days and an old muzzle loading Colt revolver were among the objects which swelled the collection and stirred popular interest. The manager of the store is frequently called upon to come forth and nar rate the history of some antique that "must have a story." "Valuable foreign coins and stamps, mosaics and historic bullets were the cause of considerable anxiety on the part of persons fearful lest the Idea of the melting pot be carried out to the letter. These latter became dis tinctly happier when assured by the manager that articles of value as such would not be melted with spoons and dented cups. Visitors at the window were not all idly curious or gift bringers. Many entered the shop to attempt a pur chase. Again and again prices were fixed on old seals or silver candle sticks by would-be buyers. To each was given the same answer: "The articles are not for private sale." Some of the givers to the melting pot were not less interesting than their offerings. One lady known as the "woman in white," came almost every day, sometimes with an article of value, often with a trifle of silver. Children going to school were regular visitors at the window, bringing tin foil from their candy, junk begged from home, and even their toys as 1 their share in the collection. The wife of the French ambassador, act ing as intermediary, brought a gift sent her by a friend in another city. Gifts Came Rapidly. The windows filled so rapidly that such gifts as bicycle tires, the great quantity of tin and lead foil brought in, as well as, other cumbersome ar ticles had to be relegated to the cel lar to leave room for things of more interest and value. October first was S3t as the date of melting. As the time drew near, the question that greeted the manager every time he presented himself out side the door was as to his opinion on the value of the collection, a ques tion to be put to a prophet rather than to an ordinary 'mortal. Bets and guesses on the subject were numerous, the figure' being usually fixed as not less than one thousand dollars. As there was no one available who was sufficiently skilled In all the lines of trade represented, no importance was attached to most of the startling state ments made by many of the guessers. At that time the disposal of the curios and antiques was yet to be de cided upon, the idea being, of course, to obtain the highest possible prices. As the demand for a chance to ac quire certain articles was so great, the Red Cross finally agreed to place the desired goods on show at its head quarters where persons could come to place their bids. In this way no dis crimination would be shown and the public would be satisfied. October 1 was a significant day in the history of the Red Cross melting pot", but the Red Cross had no inten tion of selling the pot itself and clos ing up the enterprise. Instead it placed the jar again in the window, where it receives donations as usual. Brinss Out Old Gold and Silver. The melting pot had its origin here in Washington, but its fame has spread to other cities. Mount Ranier, Ml, was the first to follow the prece dent. Now Yonkers, N. T., Los An geles, Cal., and Chevy Chase. Md have also fallen In line. These melting pots are all under direct supervision of Red Cross chapters. One great feature of the melting pot campaign is that it is bringing Into circulation a part of the $300,000,000 worth of unused gold and silver hoarded in American homes. The stoneless rings and bits of gold chain kept so long for association on ac count of their age are ebing rummaged out of the attic trunk and put to work for the cause. One such article was brought by an old lady who explained with tears in her eyes that the be loved heirloom could never have been bought from her but to her country it was a gift. This is the spirit of the Red Cross melting pot. Viewed in a practical light, it has proved its value as means of col lecting funds whose donation involves little material sacrifice on the part of the givers. There is no reason why every ojty in the United States should not have its melting pot The system gets results.

A rather shabbily dressed middle a&ed woma came to a counter where I was the other day 'I want to look at folks." she said. The clerk gave her one swift glance. "Plated:" she asked. If I were the head of a department heard a cerk do that, I'd take that clerk aside and I'd give him or in tact and manners that would, I trust, make a life-long im pression. True, the clerk had to find out what the customer wanted before she could serve her. And I know, just how manv needless preliminaries a clerk often has to go thru before she can pin her customer down to just what she wants. The other day, I happened to state what I wanted fairly definitely to a girl at the camisole counter, and she I looked up at me gratetuiiy, I wisn peaple always knew what they want ed." she said. "Don't they?" I inquired. "I should say not. First they want to see something in camisoles, then after I show them a dozen of various kinds they remember that they must have all white, and then a few min utes later, they decide to tell me that they wouldn't consider anything but Georgette crepe. And when I pjpk out one all white and Georgette crepe, they say 'Yes, but that hasn't got ribbon straps over the shoulders.' Now, why couldn't they say in the first place that they wanted white Georgette crepe with ribbon shoulder straps, in size 38? It would save their time and mine." But to return to the main road, while the silver clerk had to find out what the woman wanted, she didn't have to dp it so tactlessly. Two words would have saved the situation. In stead of just "plated?" she could have said, "solid or plated?" It is absurd to care what a sales girl whom you may never see again thinks of you, and yet it is somehow annoying to be looked over and then placed in that lordly way. Some day, when I am rich, I am going to put on some shabby clothes and then I am going Into the shops and ask to look at suits. And when one of the self appointed Bradstreet ers looks me over and says, "Some thing about $26.00?" I am going to say "Something about $150.00 please." And then I am going to buy two. Won't that be fun TEAVELETTE BY MKSAH Mecca. Mecca has been set up as the cap ital of a Jiew independent kingdom by tho Arabs who are in revolt against the Turks. The lords of the Crescent are too busy with the British in Mesopotamia to hurl anything more destructive than threats at their re bellious subjects, and in view of the present trend of the world-war, it seems probable that the Arabian king dom will become a permanent insti tution. Then Mecca may possibly be more accessible to the unbeliever. To day the Christian who penetrates to the holy city pays the penalty of dis coverywith his life. In spite of this, the feat has been accomplished several times by daring men sufficiently familiar with the customs and language of the country to go in the guise of Mohammedans. From their reports and from the in numerable Mohammedans of all races and nations who have made the pil- grimage, it is possible to form a fair ly clear idea of conditions in Mecca The population of the city itself is a matter of widely varying estimate, since the Turkish census machinery is often 200 or 300 per cent off in its results. Mecca has perhaps a hun dred thousand people. The number who make the pilgrimage annually is similarly hard to estimate, but there are probably three hundred thousand of these. This enarmous stream of "tourists" supports Mecca, and to all accounts they are robbed by the na tives with an Oriental thoroness. Water is scarce, and paid for as if it were melted gold; food is poor, and its price varies with the pocketbook of the buyer. Lodging is hardly at a premium, since most of the faithful bring tents and bedding along. f i The exceedingly heterogeneous population of the holy city can be imagined, when one remembers that it is the duty of every good Moslem to make the pilgrimage once. Islam is a widely spread religion. From the south of Africa, from Madagascar where 'the old Arab slave trade flour ished, from all the states of the sul tan, from Egypt, the Balkans and the near East, and from Afghanistan, India, Burma, China and Japan. Even from under the American flag they come, from the southern Philippine Islands of Mindanao and Palawan. Mohammed promised Mecca that he would make her the center of the cities of the earth, and to some extent at least the promise is fulfilled. s GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.

Cornelia's Jewels. TWO women, sisters, were looking at some handsome furs In a shop. Both women were well dressed, but one had on a "suit," inconspicuous and plain, the kind of a garment that denotes that its wearer must get much wear and service out of her clothes, while the other woman was gowned in a "confection" that smiply shrieked Paris at the beholder. "You may send this sable scarf to me," said she of the glad raiment to the shop keeper. "Oh, you lucky woman," murmured the woman of the blue serge, envious ly, "you can buy anything you want, while I have to pinch and scrape and economize to get the few things I am actually bound to have to present a decent appearance." "I have fine clothes, you have fine children," the richly dressed woman replied, looking her sister steadily in the eye. "Yes," responded the oUier lightly. "I am like Cornelia, my children are my jewels and, believe me, they are ajll the jewels I've got andVmost of the clothes." "Cornelia's jewels," echoed the wom an in the confection, "you've got Cor nelia's jewels and you are not willing to pay the price for them! You moth ers are welchers. You make me tired, envying women who spend their money dressing themselves up in silly finery because they have no daughters to buy pretties for, or no boys to spend their money on. "Oh, you are not the only one. Every friend I've got who has children is always coveting Jny new hats and gowns and furbelows, and saying what a wonderful husband I've got, and how devoted he is to me because he gives me a diamond ring or a new pearl on my birthday. They think that they are poor, neglected, martyred creatures because they can't have all the things that I have, and they feel that they have been unlucky enough to marry men who haven't gotten on very well because their husbands can't make them as handsome gifts as 1 have. "And they don't take into account the fact that John and I have no chil dren, and that John has nobody on earth to spend money on but me. And they also forget that raising a family is just about the most expensive lux ury that anybody can indulge in, "Take your own case, for instance. Your husband is just as gpod a busi ness man as mine is, and I don't doubt that he has made just as much money, but you have always had to skimp and deny yourself, while I have had plenty and have been able to in dulge myself. The reason for this dif ference is because you had children and I had none. Why, you spent more money on sterilized milk and trained nurse and baby specialists in the years wrren your children were little than I spent on trips to Europe. "And when your children got big ger and were sent off to school and college you could have bought a string of pearls any year with what their school expenses cost you, and an im ported motor car with their allow ances and clothes money. "And now that your girls are grown up and have to have street clothes, and dancing clothes, and sport clothes, and the millions of little things that girls require to Eet off their youth and beauty and enable them to go with the kind of people they want to go with, why, the wonder to me is that any family pocket book, short of a millionaire's, can stand it. No won der your husband, after pacing the family biTls, can't present you with diamond tiaras. "Keeping a yacht or running a rac ing stable isn't a bit more expensive than raising a house full of children, and the man who successfully nego tiates that financial undertaking puts the man who merely decks out his wife like a milliner's and a jeweler's show windows in the piker class." "I guess that is true," said the wo man in the blue serge, thoughtfully. "Of course it's true," replied the other woman," "look about' you and when you see a middle aged woman dolled up like the Queen of Sheba, nine times out of ten you will find out that she is a childless woman, and that she's driven to dressing herself up because she hasn't got any daugh ters to dress up, and instead of envy ing her you ought to pity her. "Do you suppose that any woman gets- as much fun out of sitting and embroidering cobwebby lingerie for herself as she would out of working little frocks for a. baby? Do you sup pose that any normal, middle aged woman gets the thrills out of buying "lf evening gown lor ueiseiL i ,i, -v.- .ij y..,; rosAhurt voimo- rttr no you suppose that there's any woman witn a real heart and soul in her who wouldn't rather spend her money on giving a fine, intelligent son a college education than putting it in a new limousine or a liamond stomacher? "Which would you rather have, my memory of pleasant trips in foreign lands or your own memory of your children's babyhood? W o u 1 d you rather be able to order a set of furs sent home from a fashionable shop, or when you get home to have the clinging arms of your little grand children about your neck? "It won't take you two minutes to decide that question. You wo-jldn't exchange your children and the Joy you have out of them for the contents of all the Fifth Avenues, the Bond Streets and Rue de la Paix in the universe. But the trouble with you is that you are greedy. You want the earth. You want all of the finery that we poor childless women have takeover up our empty hearts with, and you want your children besides. "Well, the most of us don't get everything. We get one thing or the other, and life makes a fairer Jivide of pleasures and perquisites than we are accustomed to think. ''Yes here are you with your child rA and the thousand living, vital, eternal interests that they bring daily into your life, envying me because I've got an unlimited shopping ticket. And only yesterday I met Grace Tompkins, who has three adorable babies, and she was whining and complaining be cause she was tied down at home and couldn't run around at night to the atres and cabarets as some of her old girl chums still do who are mar ried and have no children. "That's what makes me want to shake you mothers- You want your children. You revel in them, and yet you want to have them and to have all the fine clothes and the freedom that childless women have. You want to monopolize all the good things of life, and when you can't you howl with rage and disappointment. "Just remember that you have to pay for any kind of jewels. Cor nelia's jewels are the most precious in the world and therefore the most costly. I wish you 'mothers were sports enough to pay the price "with out grumbling.

Hay fever is the only great national pastime that has not been curtailed on account of the war. In the fall the geezers and sneezers and whispering wheezers fly northward as far as their means will permit. From the standpoint of the suffer ing hay fever is a brand of physical kultur which attacks one with Teu tonic frightfulness,, and from the standpoint of the innocent bystander it is a fad. There is probably no dis ease in the world more sneezed about and sneezed at and less understood than this one. The man can be a genuine hay fever victim until he has amassed at least $100,000, and in these times it re quires considerable sagacity to meet this qualification. People don't die of hay fever. One way in which a man can cure hay fever is to lose his fortune and be forced to go to work on the section for a living. Then the best you can get is a cold in the head. A neutral has about as much chance nowadays as an innocent bystander who is attending a boiler explosion. Yesterday we saw a bright lady knitting a washrag for a soldier. The cost of this washrag when completed will be about as, follows: Mental anguish while learning to knit, $100; material, 15 cents; time, $3. Total, $103.15. Good Al, non-skid, non-puncturable washrags can be bought in the store for a nickel apiece. Efficiency, thou art a jewel. After the husband goes and plants the seeds it seems as tho the wife should keep her eye on the garden. All she has to do is to cultivate it two or three times, pull the weeds, keep it well hoed and watered, bugged, wormed and sprayed.

It was a warm day in early Octo ber when the Filmores moved into the new home they had purchased soon after Douglas's patent had been sold. His patent had brought a larger sum than either Eleanor or he had ever hoped for in their wildest flights of imagination. In the neat garage be hind the house stood a shiny new car;, flitting In and out in the already homey rooms was a trim little maid. At about 10 o'clock one morning a few days after they had moved into this lovely home Douglas, now a partner and superintendent in the same company where he had almost been afraid to apply for a position be fore, dashed into the living room. He called for Eleanor in an excited 'oice and then, hearing her moving about upstairs, ran up the steps waving a letter in his hand. "Listen to this," he cried, seizing his startled wife by the shoulders before she had had time to utter a word. "My Dear Folks: "Probably by the time this reaches you we'll be with you, Bertram and I. I'll explain later. Enough that he is wounded tho not seriously. "Love, PATTY." A few minutes later the door bell rang and as in a trance they stood looking at each other as they heard the maid open the door, then the won dering voice of Patty inquiring doubt fully if this was the Filmores. "Why, Patty!" she called, rushing down the wide stairway, followed by Douglas. "But Bertram where is -he?" ask ed Douglas and Eleanor in one breath. "And how is he?" But Patty's radiant face dispelled any fears that they had. "Dear Bertram" is outside," Patty said In a rapid, low voice. "He wanted you to know first. He Is blina! Wait," she continued eagerly, as she saw the horror in their faces. "Wait till you hear. We stopped in New York and the specialist declared absolutely that Bertram's sight would be restored, but only with great care and then not for many months. I'll tell you. what hap pened. Your brother is a hero," she added impressively, "and has a badge of honor. There was a. German spy in our army. In one of the villages they passed thru Bertram, who had been watching him with suspicion, saw him pass a note to an old man appar ently innocently playing a violin on a doorstep. Well, to cut a long story short, he had the old man seized as soon as the spy was out of sight and the note seized, finding why informa tion concerning our army's movements had so miraculously been reaching the Germans. "Then he accosted the spy. who put up a fight to escape. In the skirmish the spy pulled out a revolver and shot at Bertram. The powder blinded him, they were afraid, permanently. So as he had to be accompanied home after he was discharged I was allowed to do It." Later when the hero had been led in and all were seated around the table after the children returned from school Patty exclaimed, "Isn't this a glorious old world? Who would have thought a short six months ago that we would be sitting here In this beau tiful home. Douglas a rich man. Bert ram a hero, his eye-sight saved, and I the happiest woman in the world." "Thank God I was able to serve my country'" exclaimed Bertram, who was sitting next to his ever thoughtful and watchful wife. "Thank God for all our happiness.'' said Eleanor reverently as she thought of the happiness before them. c EVEKHNS STOOT The Little Gray House. (By Hilda Morris.) The house was a very small one, standing lonely and deserted at the turn ot th country road. Mildred came upon it early one morning in June when she was searching for a quiet place to read and dream. Mildred was a teacher, and she had come to spend her long summer vaca tion at Willow Lake Hotel. She was a slim girl, pale and pretty, with a soft charm that needed only rest and fresh air to make it bloom into real beauty. "She was tired, however, des perately tired and lonely. The hotel promised to be less pleasant than she had expected. There were no young people, only old ladies who sat on the verandas with their knitting and em- Droiaery, discussing ills and opera tions. Mildred wanted youth and jol ity, or, failing that, at least solitude for dreams. So armed with plenty of books and magazines, she left the ho tel every morning directly after breakfast. The little gray house looked like a haven peaceful enough for anyone. It was shaded by a huge oak tree, and me paten of lawn before it was green and smooth as velvet. A large For Rent" sign decorated Its front window. Mildred climbed the steps and peered in at the window. She Raw ji clean-swept room with painted white wooaworK ana an old white wooden mantel. There was a glimpse of a lkie-walled kitchen on beyond. "Oh!" the girl exclaimed to her self, "I do want to see the rest of it. I wonder one turned tile knob softly and lound that the door was unlocked so she explored the quaint interior growing more enamored of the place at every step. It was an old house and its worn door sills seemed to speak of years of comfortable family life. The whole house was in immacu late order, as tho Just swept and gar nished fo a homecoming. It was the n.ost peaceful house that Mildred had ever been in. It fitted her mood ex actly, and she made a sudden firm de termination to rent it. It was not hard to find the man who had charge of it he lived a half a mile farther down the road. "That's the Gordons' house," he ex plained. "They're all dead now ex cept one young feller that's moved to the city. He wants it took good care of, and he'll rent it cheap to anybody'll do that" "Oh, I will take good care of it," Mildred assured him, smiling. "I'll even paper some of the walls." So she got the house for the absurd rental of $7 a month less than half the sum she paid for her stuffy room in the hotel. Mildred had little furniture, from the wreck of her own dead and gone home, in storage in the city. She sent for this, and set about the process of redecorating the sunny rooms. First, she papered them with the help of a boy from the village. For the living room with its white fire-placo she chose an old-fashioned pape- with a oim pattern of creamy gray, and the two bedrooms she made into cosy nests of rose and blue. She repainted the blue kitchen walls, stained the floors, and moved in her old furni ture. By the time the living room was" complete, with its chintz curtains, braided rugs and gate-legged table, it was as delightful a room as any wo-j 1 1 1 I. HT;IJ1 ni.arl her" work, growing prettier and hap pier each day. At night she sat on the veranda watching the fireflies and drinking in the silent beauty of the place, or, if it was cool, she built a fire in the fireplace and saw pictures in the embers. She trie& to imagine how it would feel to live there with a family about her, to have other things than dremas for company. But she was quite contented as she was. and the country air was putting fresh col or in her cheeks, rounding the delicate contour of her face, so she no longer looked like a frail and very tireu j teacher. There came a gusty August dn j with a hint of thunder and rain in the air. There came also a letter j a most unwelcome letter to Mildred In I her little house. It was from the prin- i cipal of the private school where she was a teacher. It said that she wj? expected to return to her post fn the 15th of September. Mildred had been trying to forget about the school; the thought of leaving her little home was most depressing. She planned to keep it thru the winter and come here for vacations, but vacations were so few! And she was tired of teaching, any way, and September 15 was only three weeks off. She lit a fire it was really cool for August and she was always ready to light a fire at the slihtet excuse because it looked so cozy. That was one reason she longed to spend the winter there she did not have open fires in her furnished room at Mrs. Green's boarding house. Mildred sat before the fire, trying her very best to think of some plan by which she could escape her year at the school. If only she could paint, or write, or do some clever thing ;o earn a living at home! Or if she only had a rich uncle or a father or a hus band. She blushed at this lant thought, and rose to pull dkwn th? windows. The threat of rain had be come a reality. It began to fall in sudden torrents. As Mildred stood at the window she saw a man come down the road, running. He turned sud denly, and sought shelter under the big oak tree before her fcouse. At that moment a glimmer of lightning flashed out. Mildred rushed to the door. "Please come in!" she called. "You might be struck under that tree. It isn't safe." "All right." he called back in a pleastn voice, and in two or three bounds he was on the veranda, shak ing himself like a big Newfoundland. "I'm pretty wet," he smiled. "I hope But Mildred interrupted him with a sudden exclamation. "David ordon!" she cried. "How ever did you come to be here "I came to see my house," he re plied, "and you. "Didn't you know. Mildred, that I was your landlord?" "No!" she said. "I didn't. What ever do you live at Mrs. Green's for when you have a place like this?" "Why I couldn't live here alone," he said, "and make it look like this." Goodness. Mildred, what have you done to the old place? It hasn't been so homelike since mother died!" Mildred lauhed, a little ruefully. "I know It's homelike," she salfl. "And the worst of it is I've got to leave it and go back to work very soon. I hate to give it up." David nodded, a little absently. He was looking at the brown-haired girl in the blue gown and thinking how lovely she was, how well she fitted into the cozy little room. He had missed her at the boarding-house; there had been no one to smile at hi an across the dinner table or to play for him evenings in the dinsy parlor. He was a selfish fellow and he couldn't help but be very glad that she was coming back. v "Whv don't you move in yourself?" Mildred was saying. "You don't have to be in the city. There's a splendid light room upstairs you could- use for a studio for your illustrations or you could even commute if you chose. The trains are rather regular. I couldn t now," he said. It s rented. It's your house. There's Just one condition under which I might live here. That is She waited, wondering, her heart curiously a-flutter before his tender eyes. "That you will stay here with me. Could you marry me, Mildred, even though I offered you nothing better than this little house, and love?" "Oh, David!"- she whispered. "I could. And nobody In all the world could wish for any more!"

Sea fires have always been classed among the most dangerous of marine accidents. The confined spate in the hold of a vessel and the tightness with which it is enclosed render it peculiar ly fitted to gather great clouds of mephitic gases, which imperil the lives of the crew when they attempt to locate and drown the fire. A recent invention is designed to make the quenching of these hold fires safer and more effective. The fire hose is designed to be lowered into the hold from the deck, and it terminates in a multiple nozzle with mouths aimed in all directions. A pressure pump forces water through the nozzle at the rate of 15,000 gallons a minute, and any thing within a hundred feet in any di rection is sure of a thoro soaking.

Nowadays, though, we don't have o the troublesome task of gathering the L sage and the mussy mixing at home Al drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of otner ingredients, called"Wyeth a fcage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten vour comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn intf the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage a nd Sulphur Compound, is that, be sides beautifully darkening the hair after a- few applications, it also pro duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready-to-use preparation is a de lightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Advertise menc.

The women of the Good Govern ment club have opened the boxes that were distributed about town for the reception of coins to be used in the purchase of sweets for the soldiers at Christmas time.

The boxes placed in the dry goods store where women shop, contained nearly the entire amount collected. The boxes in the tobacco shops, drug stores, commission houses and men's clothing stores contained almost no money at all, even tho the gifts that the money is t" purchase are to be for men entirely. The sum collected in the boxes was about $24. That amount will be brought up to $30 by the wo men of the committee who had it in charge, who are Mrs. J. E.

Shortage of Teamsters Aggra Tates the Situation. With the temperature getting lower j every hour and with the velocity of the chill, snappy wind increasing slow- ly but surely, towns located in the Osage coal mining district are facing j a famine in fuel despite the fact that they are located over one of the finest sheets of thin-vein coal in Kansas. j Conditions in Burlingame, according to reports coming to Topeka today, are worse than in any of the other cities with the possible exception of i Osage City. At both towns scores of families have not succeeded in obtain- ing their winter supply of fuel and are unable today to get coal delivered from the labor exchange and Inde- I pendent mines, the only ones run ning. Mines Closed Down. All mines in the Southwestern Op erators association are closed down becaust of a strike. Operators refuse td pay miners $2.53 a ton, an increase of 50 cents a ton over the former wages, for mining coal. The independent and labor exchange mines are paying the 50-cent increase and report they are making money in selling the fuel at the mine shaft for $4 a t$n, government prices. Shortage of Teamsters. A, shortage of teamsters is also ag gravating the situation at Burlingame. All the mines that are running are lo cated outside the town and there are not enough teamsters to haul in the fuel, altho consumers are paying $1 a ton for the transportation. Some southern Kansas coal is being shipped in, but the amount so far ob tained is sufficient to alleviate condi tions only slightly.

Loveland Told Rotarians Today. Germany Is Far From Being on Her Last Legs. HUN ATROCITIES RECITED 150,000 Belgian Girls Victims of Their Barbarity. France, England and Italy Have Done Their Best. France is bled as white as a bone. The submarines have England by the throat. Italy is bankrupt. Standing before the Rotary club to day. Dr. Frank L. Loveland, student of international affairs, representaive of the state and national defense councils and former pastor of the First Meth odist church in Topeka, made those assertions. Without lifting his voice above a well modulated tone he talked into the hearts of the Rotarians a firmer determination to see the war thru and spurred the scores of busi ness men at the noon luncheon with stories of German atrocities that al most made the blood run cold. Then he discredited stories that the Huns are almost whipped and declared that the length of the war depends upon America because of the condition of the European allies. God Will Take Hand. "When General LeClercq of the Bel gian commission told me that the Bel gian government has positive informa tion of more than 150.000 Belgian girls who are soon to become mothers because of Hun barbarism." Doctor Loveland said, "I told myself that if there Is a God that has anything to do with human affairs, that awful trag edy will be looked after. "When he told me of seven little Belgian boys with their eyes made sightless and no hands on their arms I wanted to take off my preacher coat and don the uniform of Uncle Sam and swear everlasting vengeance against such barbarism. "And that is not all. In every Bel gian base hospital there are maternity wards with a capacity of some 600 women each. That is the result of this terrible barbarism. America Must Wake Up. "You have heard some people talk of waiting until the Hun invades the United States. The man who talks that does not even talk good nonsense. "What America must do is to wake up to the mighty task confronting her. Motion is built upon emotion, and as far back as fifteen years ago when Prince Henry visited this coun try and started his German-American alliance, the United States has been inundated with propaganda urging that we keep out of war. That pro paganda must be defeated. "There is talk now that Germany is about finished. Put that talk out of your mind. Germany will never be starved out. She knows better than any nation on earth how to make the soil contribute her foodstuffs. If America raised as much foodstuffs in proportion as Germany she would pro duce enough in one year to feed the world for twenty years. "The length of war depends upon America. We have the men. We have the munitions. We have the food stuffs. All Up to the U. S. "It must be remembered that not a gun of this war has been tired on German soil. France is bled as white as a bone. She is making a great struggle, but hers is the strugle of a dying man. It is a well known fact that the submarines have Eng land by the throat and she is dying of- slow strangulation. Two million Englishmen were slaughtered before England was prepared to fight. Ger many has today 50 per cent more fighting men than England. It must be remembered that in the last fif teen years the French birth rate was only 2 per cent above the death rate. England has faced about the same condition. And Germany Germany had been bringing men of military age in at a rate of nearly a million a year. "And the submarine.

And then to think that America gave the submarine to the Huns. It was an American invention and we turned it down and allowed the Hun to get it. "The truth of the matter is Ger many had the allies whipped when America got into the war. Now, we have the men and we have the money to win for the allies. There isn't a doubt in my mind but what the allies will win. We have everything except the will to do the job and we must get that will. Must Defeat Propaganda.

The time has come when the press, pulpit and every one must cast aside generalities and fight each as an individual. "There is a man in Topeka a busi ness man whose store occupies two lot fronts.

KIDS FIGHT COPS Third Day of Rioting Over New School System. Political 'Campaign Agitating: Issue Is the Cause. New York, Oct. 18. Rioting by school children in protest against the Gary system of instruction in some of the schools became so serious this aft ernoon that reserves were summoned from three police stations and fifty branch detective bureaus.

RICH SHYAT IT "Retaliate" Against 8 Per Cent Tax on Large Incomes.' That's Reason Some 3few York ers Aren't Buying 'Em. New York, Oct. 18. Overnight mail and forenoon subscriptions pushed New York liberty loan total up only $10,000,000, the figures at 11 o'clock being $470,000,000. Half of this, ten million came from the XuPont De Nemours company. "Commenting on the failure of many wealthy individuals to come forward with subscriptions for the second, lib erty loan presumably because of the 8 per cent surtax on large incomes in the new war revenue bill, S. F. W Loudon, of the advisory trades com mittee of the liberty loan committee, predicted that in case of the failure of the loan congress will pass a high per sonal tax amounting to virtual con scription of excess income. "Several salaried and professional gentlemen of large personal incomes have told me within the past few days," Mr. Loudon said, "that they re fused to incur the additional obliga tion of the surtax attached to the pur ch; of bonds. They stated that they do not intend to buy any of the new issue. "The matter, therefore, simmers down to this: Buy liberty loan bonds now or have your wealth conscripted in the months to come.'

f BRINGING UP FATHER TOO MKKE THAT HIECE OF fOOR"b TWO CANADIAN HEROES! Awunlvd Victoria Cross But Both Met Death on Battlefield. I V V Ml E 1 I I I I I A Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 18. The names of two Canadians appear in the latest list of Victoria cross awards, Bays a London dispatch to the Ottawa agency of Reuters limited. Sergt. Frederick Hobson, late of a Canadian Infantry battalion, won a reward for his con duct during: a strong enemy counter attack. A machine run in a forward trench post leading to the enemy lines was buried by a shell. The crew with the exception of one man were killed. Hobson, tho not a gunner, rushed from his trench, dug out the gun and wot into action against the enemy, who were now advancing across the npt-n. A jam caused the gun to stop flr'ncr. Tho wounded, Hobson left the gunner to correct the stoppage, rushed forward and single handed held the Hermans back until he himself was killed by a rifle shot. Reinforcements shortly arrived and the enemy wad bo.iten off. The second Canadian private, Harry Brown, late of a Canadian infantry battalion, after the capture of a posi ng tion and a maws counter attack, when the situation became critical was giv en a message with orders to deliver it at headquarters at all costs. His companion messenger was killed and Brown was badly wounded but he con tinued thru the intense barrage until he came near the support lines. There he found an officer but he was so badly injured that he fell down the dugout steps. He regained conscious ness long enough to hand over the mes sage, but he died in a dressing room a few hours later.

Copenhagen, Oct. 18.- The proceed ings of the convention of German soc ialists at Wurzburg, reveals light pro spects that the two branches of the party will be united. At yesterday's session Hermann Mueller of the executive committee said, "Alsace-Lorraine under no cir cumstances could be made a subject of discussion in the peace negotiations and that these provinces could be wrested only from a completely de feated Germany." Dr. Edward David., reichstag mem ber, declared the war could not be ended by submarines. Speaking of the Russian provinces of Courland and Livonia, Philip Schei demann, the Socialist leader, said at the Wurzburg conference: "Union of these territories with Ger many which has been demanded re peatedly, cannot be contemplated." Herr Scheidemann said provisional regulation of the affairs of the prov inces had been effected in accordance with the resolution of one reichstag main committee which declared against annexations. Altho Riga had Ger man characteristics, he added the Germans formed only a small portion of its population. COLD THREATENS SPUD Minnesota Farmers Can't Get Cars to Ship Out Vegetables.

DELAY VOTE REFORM Kaiser's ITomise Fails to Materialize Prussian Iiet Meets. Copenhagen, Oct. IS. The Prussian diet reassembled yesterday to be met by the news that the franchise reform bill which the emperor ordered sub mitted in time so that new elections could be held under the new system, probably would not be ready before December. The Germanla says that the delay is due to the complicated studies con nected with the reform of the upper house and the reshaping of election districts. The majority parties in the diet, j whih are opposed to the idea of "sui- cidal" reform, are delighted at the delay. Herr Free of the conservative party declared yesterday that there was opposition in Prussia r to the j reichstag franchise.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1917 HELPS SWEDEN OUT V. S. Intercedes for Release of Mis sion's Diplomatic Papers. Washington, Oct. 18. That Secre tary Lansing has ordered the Ameri can ambassador at London to Inter vene in Sweden's behalf to secure the release of diplomatic mail held up in the British embassy was claimed by Swedish officials today. Secretary Lansing declined to dis cuss the subject. It was not denied that the state department consented to cable Stockholm in the Swedish code for Minister Ekengren, who is denied this privilege by Great Britain, as result of the Luxburg "spurlos ver senkt" affair- On the highest Swedish authority here it was learned today that dom inating figures in the war trade board have championed the Swedes' cause in order to release economic data in -the three mail pouches and one valise in the British hold. If the British break the seals and inspect the mails without official per mission from the Swedish foreign of fice a rupture in diplomatic relations between the two countries is apt to follow, Swedish and diplomats here stated, such a precedent. other neutral Neutrals fear SPUDS BY POUND ONLY Chicago Dealers Establish Rule That Weight Measure Prevails. Chicago, Oct. 18. Potatoes may be purchased by the pound only in Chi cago hereafter. Such is the notice sent to dealers in the city and those buying of local wholesale houses. Instead of the bushel measure quotations will be made on a basis of 100 pounds. Honest Advertising. rJHIS is a topic we all hear now-a-days because so many people are inclined to ex- aggerate. Yet has any physician told you that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher's Castoria? Just ask them. We won't answer it ourselves, we know what the answer will be. That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised, Honestly placed before the public and from which he Honestly expects to receive his reward.

HELVERING LEADS HIS CLASS Congressman a Real "Gun" in the Quiz Work. are doing- some individual improve ment as about thirty new and modern residences and store buildings have been erected during the last twelve months that represent an expenditure of something near $150,000. Port Sheridan, 111., Oct. 18. Kan sas student officers for the first time charged thru "No Man's L,and" today. "No Man's Land" was a bushy ra vine, swept by Lake Michigan breezes and the enemy trenches were waiting with "blanks' and smiles and hellos. Under the smoke the crash of can non and musketry, the Kansas men cut thru a thicket of "barbered" wire (so christened by Instructor Georges Ettenne Bertrand, of the Alpine Chas seures) in the First Provisional regi ment's initial .offensive against the secona regiment's strongly fortified positions in the most complete hypo thetical trench system in the United States. The First is made up largely of Kan s, Nebraska and Missouri troops. Three days and nights Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the First lived in the redoubts. Today Colonel Ryan ordered a strategic swop-about and the First became the attackers. The battle was the first of a series of "actions" designed to harden the future officers for the stuff they will find in Europe. The trenches are exact duplicates of sections on the British front in Flanders. Like Real Warfare. "Water, knee-deep in some places, camouflage, the smell of smoke and the quiver of the earth under the de tonation of a battery, brought the "en gagement" as near real warfare as safe warfare can be. There were the thrilling trips thru underground tubes to artillery range depots, where imaginary hits were ob served thru slits in the sod. There were the silent excursions into the night across "No Man's Land;' the sudden exhilaration of an attack; in fact all the elements of war, except death. Fort Sheridan,' the de luxe of the training camps, commands Lake Mich igan from a high, shaggy bluff. The brick barracks, home of the First (and incidentally the finest quarters of the fort) are along a principal street. Half way down, a massive lookout tower rises to a sharp point. Through the tower runs a road communicating with the wooden barracks and trenches on the other side of a little gully. Bronzed by the outdoors, the Kan sans are making good gloriously so both in the field and in classroom. Kansas's soldier congressman, for instance, Guy T. Heverling, of Marys ville, is gaining fame thru the fort as a regular "whizz." He is said to be making an average of 97 and above in the quizzes. Jie gave up the job of representing the Fifth district in congress to enter the officers' reserve. Talk of Killing. They talk of death with a grim frankness that is gruesome, in the squad rooms, over their granite plates at mess, in the trenches. "We are taught to kill, and kill quickly," explained W. W. Hawkins of Lawrence. "And to use steel, when possible, to save bullets. Our instruc tors hammer it into us day after day: 'Get the other fellow and get him first; if you don't he will get you.' We cut for the throat." Hawkins came direct from the" Ger-r man faculty of the University of Kan- sas to Fort Sheridan. The fort runs like a great machine every day except Sunday. Then it might be a college campus. "We work every minute we are awake," declared Orlando Hughes of Wichita. Hughes served several years in the Philippines. He showed a letter from General Wood, commending him for killing twenty-seven Sulus without losing a man from his squad. He was a postal clerk at Wichita. Yet each regiment is going to find time to stage a play in the auditorium before camp closes. As yet, the Kan sas delegation, however, has not come into its own in dramatics. Harlan Thompson, K. U. "11, and re cently assistant city editor of the Kan sas City Star, and Wallace Casey, also of the Star, are among the Kansas soldier-newspapermen in the camp. Reu ben Webster, well known racqueter of the Westport Tennis club of Kansas Citv. is in Battery 1. Harold Wilson, advertising man, K. U.

Individual and collective municipal problems were threshed out in Wednesday's ses sions of the League of Kansas Munici palities. There were many confer ences, all day. and every city official here could find a place where he could attend and discuss his own particular problem with other f ficials who have been dealing with the same thing that he wanted to know about. One of the most interesting and ed ucational addresses on the program was a speech by W. H. Dunn, superin tendent of parks in Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Dunn stated that the place to pre pare to have Uncle Sam's army the best in the world was to have recrea tion places for them during rest hours. He emphasized the need of parks in towns and cities of every size and told of the good they do. OFF TO FT. SILL TODAY Co. A Kansas Engineers, "Funston's Live Bunch." Ready to Leave. Camp Funston, Kan., pet. 18. Company A, Kansas engineers, often referred to as "the builders of Camp Funston," on account of the valuable engineering work they have done, de part for Camp Doniphan, Fort Sift, Okla., today at noon, unless a change is made in the plans. They are all packed up and all day Wednesday the artists of the company were at work fixing up signs that will be hung on the sides of the railway coaches. The Kansas engineers have always been considered the "live bunch" here and they intend to keep their reputation. Before packing up the engineers subscribed to a total of $6,750 worth of liberty bonds. The total subscrip tions Wednesday were $75,100, mak ing the grand total $801,300 and, as Maj. Levi G. Brown, in charge of the campaign, says the boys are "just get ting started." It was announced today that the first 1,000 men, half of those from Nebraska and South Dakota in the 164th depot brigade, will start for Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., Saturday. They, with 1,200 other troops from all the states represented here, must go to other camps to make room for the negroes who will start coming Oc tober 27. The Missouri and Kansas troops, in part, probably will be started for Fort Sill about Wednesday. NEGROES IN DEFENSE OPEN WATERWAYS Hirers May Be Used To Relieve Railroad Congestion. Iron Ore Fleet Now on Way From St. Paul to St. Louis. Shawnee Home Guards Don't Funston Sentiment. The Shawnee home guards have adopted resolutions defending the negro race and strenuously object ing to objections of Junction City peo ple who do not want negro troops stationed near their homes. The committee signing the resolutions comprises Walter B. Bryant, J. Lou's Ransom, M. D., Edward Brass, Henry Taylor and O. W. Hamilton. In the resolutions it is pointed out that negro troops have defended the American nag with their blood on numerous occasions. The resolutions describe as ridiculous charges mads that safety of white girls will be jeopardized, that race riots will occur and many other calamities will be oc casioned by stationing negro troops at Fort Riley.

The year before he was on the editorial staff of the Topeka State Journal and a farm paner in Topekn. Washington, Oct. 18. The Missis sippi valley as a great steel and iron manufacturing center is a probability developing from an epochal renais sance of river traffic due to railway congestion. This future was suggested today hy Col. Charles Keller. United States army engineer, directing a project for transporting iron ore and coal between St. Paul and St. Louis via the Mississippi. "We may later extend the use of in land waterways if this- experiment proves successful," said Colonel Kel ler, holding out hope for the entire lakes to gulf waterway ideal. "One result of the use of the Mississippi probably will be to make the valley the seat of great iron and steel pro ducing industries. Another is diver sion of quantities of iron ore now han dled thru the Great Lakes ports, re lieving congestion both in lake traffic and on railroads." Transport Cotton in Winter. All year round traffic will be main tained by using the freight fleets in southern latitudes to move cotton and other products when navigation closes in the north this winter. Relief of the coal shortage in the northwest will be aided for the bal ance of the river season and next year tremendous quantities of the fuel will be moved by water. So vital is the re birth of waterway transportation re garded by officials as a war measure, that a large delegation will attend Saturday's celebration in St. Louis to mark the arrival of the first ore fleet from St. Paul. Keller said today no special boats would be used, ordinary barges and tow boats being employed. Later spe cial cargo carriers may be construct ed by the government. GOOD FOR JIM!

A Pictorial Review g Patterns tr-Nj Patterns A correspondent from Harveyville, thirty-two miles southwest of Topeka, writes as follows of the activities of Farmer James Chelf: Here is this year's work for Jim Chelf in Wabaunsee county and his two big black horses that weigh 3,300 pounds: In January, February and March he cut and hauled 4,000 hedge posts. He put out sixty acres of corn, with those two big horses, which will average fifty bushels per acre; cultivated forty-five days, never missed a day; put out one acre of potatoes, quarried ten cords of rock and plowed forty acres for wheat. Jim Chelf is a bachelor. He has five brothers and two sisters married, but at present his father and mother are keeping house for him. His par ents are past the four-score mark in life. His father and mother came from Kentucky and settled on a farm in Smith county, three mrUes from Lebanon, Kan., in 1883. In 1897 he went to Colby, Kan., to work for his brother in a flour mill; worked there until 1907. He bought eighty acres of land 2 hi miles north of Harveyville, Kan., on a little creek called Coon creek. Some of his neighbors told him he could do no good there; said the land was poor. He found out that he had a good farm. When he had been there four years he bought 120 acres ad joining his farm and rented fifty acres of it this year to'one of his neighbors for oats. At threshing time the renter turned over 700 bushels of oats for Chelfs share, which he sold for $560. He has put more than $2,000 in improvements on his farm. Put his com at fifty bushels per acre, which is the guess of three men who looked it over.
