Their lack of optimism is due to the fact that estimates based on latest official reports of sales and fragmen tary unofficial reports indicate total subscriptions of more than $2,000,000. 000, and possibly $2,500,000,000. The official report, up to the close of busi ness on October 20, showed subscrip tions of $1,338,904,900. For the final spurt in the five billion dollar campaipn, the treasury depart ment today urged all patriotic Ameri cans to buy liberty bonds for Christ mas presents. And to buy them now, for only five days remain. "Do your Christmas shopping early by buying bonds," is the official slo gan. In the few remaining days the coun try must raise about $2,750,000,000 more to make the second liberty loan a success. Secretary McAdoo.

Public Invited To Hear Ad dress of National Speaker. OFFICERS ELECTED TODAY A. P. Langtry of Massachusetts Heads the Organization. Next Convention Will Be Held in Washington. When a man buys an automobile from which the engine number has been chiselled, possession of the car will become prima facie evidence of possession of stolen property. That may become the basis for nation-wide state laws under recommendations to day by the American Secretaries of State in session in Topeka. Senator James K. Watson of Indiana, who is guest of Secretaries of State. He will speak tonight on "Ameri canism." In the movement for nation-wide uniformity of laws, the secretaries of state propose some step that will make lire a little hard and the road to suc cess a little rougher, for motor car thieves. All manner of plans have been suggested. But the method of placing the burden on the car owner is the latest step. Thousands of regis tered cars, it was asserted, give no en gine numbers. If a man buys such a car, the secretaries of state propose a law which will place the burden on the shoulders of the purchaser. President Reed of West Virginia and J. T. Botkin, Kansas secretary of state, advanced the plan during to day's conference. "The legislatures of all states should unite in making pos session of such cars prima facie evi dence that they are stolen property," said President Reed. 'If a man's car does not show an engine number, there is just reason to .jelieve he owns property which came into some one's possession thru illegal methods." Committee's Work on Program. A committee reurespnini th. na tional organization of secretaries of state will suggest a program for uni- formitv of stnto lawa a aifi cording of instruments, admissio'n of corporations, elections, marriages, automobile registration and "ther subjects.

All we have we owe to the stable government under which, for the past fifty years at least, we, both native and foreign born citizens, have enjoyed peace and liberty and have been undisturbed in pursuit of happiness. We now have an opportunity, thru giving, without limit, our moral, physical and financial sup port to repay in part the debt we owe. We can and should go even further. Thru investment in Liberty Bonds we become creditors' and partners in the prosecution of the great war in which we are engaged, and every man or woman may justly take pride in contributing in any way toward bringing the con flict to a successful conclusion. Let it not be said that for lack of deep thought and wise action at the right moment, which is now, we have let slip the opportunity to confound the enemies of our coun try. We are to be congratulated on progress made but having taken the third trench we must now call up all reserve and "go over the top." I am still confident that the mark set for Topeka and Shawnee county ($2,024,000) will be left far in the rear when we reach goal next Saturday. F. W. Freeman, chairman Liberty Loan committee. First Kansas Congressional district. With F. W. Freeman, field marshal of the first congressional committee,J sounding the foregoing signal, J. R.;1 Burrow, commanding Topeka's forces for the drive in volunteer dollars,' mustered his followers at 9 o'clock this morning and prepared to go "over the top" and take the last trench in the campaign to exceed Shawnee county's liberty bond goal of $2,024, 000. Action opened on all fronts in the form of' individual infan try skirmishes bv the husinpss men's committees making individual solicitations. Heavy artillery of the banks backed up these activities with a bombardment which brought hun dreds of purchasers into the institu tions today. Moral and material aid came from all sides, and from far and near. When Freeman opened his desk at the Merchant's National bank this morning the first letter of a huge pile showed by its return mark that it came from Oscar Gohlke in the Lee Huckins hotel in Oklahoma City. Across the envelope was written, "For Liberty Bonds to Whip the Kaiser." A check on the inside fully explained matters. Freeman Optimistic.

NO PROSPECT OF GETTING FUEL IN SMALLER TOWNS Administrator Carey Admits the Situation Is Serious. Manhattan Already Suffering From the Coal Shortage. NOT A POUND IN YARDS Schools, Churches and Business Houses May Be Closed. Light and Water Plants Many Towns Threatened. There is slight chance to provide immediate 'relief from the coal famine I in, Kansas. In a letter to Governor I Capper today, Emerson Carey of i Hutchinson, state fuel administrator, i-admitted many towns in tjie state would suffer this winter. It is im possible to provide coal for many lo j calities, Carey declared, under the policies of the railroads and the gov i eminent in commandeering fuel sup plies. Carey's letter to Governor Capper was in response to a statement of startling conditions in Manhattan. The town is already suffering from a shortage of coal. Schools, churches and business houses have but a few -.days supply available. There is not a pound of coal in local yards, a com plaint recites. Many Towns Are Short. Conditions in Manhattan are simi lar to those confronting many towns in the state. Administrator Carey ad mits there is little chance for immedi ate relief. The entire state may face a winter of suffering and privation, his letter indicates. Protests have been sent to Harry A. Garfield, federal fuel administra tor, concerning the action of railroads and the government in seizing produc tion from mines. To date no relief has been offered. Added to the gov ernment and railroads' requisitions, is an appalling shortage in produc tion from mines in this state. k Carey's letter admits that that.the situation is most serious. Many letters sent to Topeka have indicated that schools would be closed. Municipal light and water plants are affected and in some towns the water J supply is said to be threatened be- L(n.nc.A iimnffinicinr fuul ts troon on. gines running. A report from "Eureka today was to the effect -that the city lighting system would close this week. While contracts are held for coal for the light plant, the contractors are said to have thrown up their hands in despair. There is no coal to be had. Oil Fields Affcetcd. In the southern Kansas oil fields development has been retarded as a result of a slump in the fuel supply. Where gas can be used for fuel, the coal shortage is not a serious handi cap to development. But many oil companies are relying on coal for their engines. C. H. Danner, a member of the state fuel advisory committee, was today urged by Topeka coal dealers to call a conference for discussion of local conditions. Danner said he would determine late today whether a conference would be called. Topeka retailers told Danner they wanted an opportunity to talk over plans for dis tributing their supply and methods approved by the government for fuel charges and retailers prorits.

French troops achieved one of the most important j victories of recent months' fighting I early today when they swept forward for nearly two miles over a front of j two-thirds of a mile, capturing Alle- mant, Vaudesson, Malmaison fort. j Premier Painleve announced the! drive "as a most important success." j Three thousand German prisoners were taken in the drive, he stated, with twenty cannon. French forces now have reached the brick yard at Chavignon, overlooking the Laon j plains. j The new French assault is the first j drive on the Chemin des Dames sector that has been made by General Petain in more than a month. Allemant is eight miles northeast of Soissons and about three miles southwest of Anizy le Chauteau, where the battle line makes a sharp curve northward around Coucy and up to La Fere. Malmaison is situated about two and a half miles to the west of Allemant. Both towns are on the highway to Laon. Petrograd, Oct. 23. Suddenly as suming the offensive, Russian troops on the Riga front swept Corward over tha enemy front line trenches in the sectors of Skuli, Hinzenberg Manor, Althazar Manor and Lember Castle, all of which places were occupied, to day's official statement asserted. The enemy evacuated Hinzenberg after the engagement. On the Werder sector, Russian forces repelled an enemy attempt to land forces near Moisekull Monar, eight miles north of Werder. Over the Top Karly. Paris, Oct. 23. An attack was made by the French early this morniue on the Aisne front northeast of Soissons. The war office reports that consider able progress was made along the whole battle front and that numerous prisoners were taken. The statement follows: 'Tnis morning at 6:15 o'clock after artillery preparation for several hours, our troops assaulted the powerful German positions in the region of Allemant and La Malmaisen north east of Soissons). On the whole front of attack we made good progress and we took a number of prisoners. "Northwest of Rheims there was heavy artillery fighting in the night. Three surprise attaches against our small posts west of Bermericourt and Neuvife were without result. "In the Argonne an incursion into German trenches at Cheppy wood en abled us to inflict losses in enemy and bring back prisoners. "On the right bank of the Meuse (Verdun front) the artillery action became violent late in the night in the region north of Hill 344." Anticipate New Blow In Belgium. London, Oct. 23. Another com bined general offensive blow by Brit ish and French troops beyond what used to be the Ypres sector was fore cast in descriptive dispatches from the British front today. Yesterday's "lo cal attacks" by the allies were held to be the first of two preliminary steps to such a concerted drive, designed to widen the edge of the wedge which Haig has been steadily pushing thru the German lines since July 31. Monday's Attack n Preliminary. The point of the British wedge now rests near Passchendaele on the ridge. Yesterday's "local attacks" were de- siened to widen the ansle of this i nnr pects Haig to achieve the same widen- ing by local attacks on the south. Then will come the general assault.

Petrograd, Oct. 23. Two German dreadnaughts, one cruiser, twelve tor pedo boats and one transport were put out of action by the Russians in the fighting around the islands In tha Gulf of Riga last week, but their ulti mate fate is unknown, says an offi cial statement issued by the Russian admiralty. It has been established that at least six German torpedo boats were sunk in the fighting. The Rus sians lost the battleship Slava and a large torpedo boat. (By the Associated Press.) Fifteen German fighting ships, in cluding two dreadnaughts, were put out of commission by the Russians last week in and around the islands at the head of the Gulf of Riga. The Russian admiralty says the ultimate fate of the larger ships is not known, but that it has established at least six torpedo boats sunk. The superiority of the German na val forces told, however, and the Russians were forced to retire with their units intact except for the bat tleship Slava and a large destroyer. The Russians now are protecting the southern entrance to the Gulf of Fin land, where it is reported German submarines were observed Sunday. Oesel, Moon and Dago islands are completely in the possession of the Germans, who claim also the capture of 20,000 prisoners, 100 guns and war material. The Germans also have reached the mainland of Esthonia on the Werder peninsula, which Juts into Moon sound, opposite Moon island. An official report from Stockholm says the Germans have gathered a large nui ber of submarines and de stroyers in the waters around eastern Denmark in anticipation of an attempt by the entente fleet to force its way into the Baltic. Monday's Attack Successful. Minor operatiops undertaken by the French and British yesterday from Poelcapelle northward to the Hnu thulst forest were most successful. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Germans and Field Marshal Haig re ports the capture of two hu nil red prisoners. East of Poelcapelle Eng- i lish troops captured fortified buildings and redoubts on a front of about a mile and a half and southeast of the village other gains were made.

Topekans whose kitchens were not equipped with cooking apparatus other than gas went without break- fast this morning. In the face of a coal crisis the fuel and cooking problem was made more critical by the fact that tas grates and burners refused to light. On th8 East alde the Kas liKht8 rliCkered and went out early Monday night as the I temperature began to fall. This dis- trict is generally more blessed than sgss-Js- SoSSrsJS source of supply, more gas than any other part of the city.

"It appears that they are doing it and, of courv there is not enough gas to supply tha demand." Doran, however, failed to explain, even if there was enough gas for heating and cooking, why the burners in the entire city should go out. "I wrote a letter to H. L. Doherty, owner pf the Kansas Natural some time ago," he said, "asking him to come and visit me some time this winter. I wanted him to see the ex hibition his gas puts up. He wrote back and said he would come and there would be plenty of gas. "I think I had better write him again and let-him know how much gas we are really getting." Xo ArtiriMal ia. Last summer an investigation of the feasibility -of reopening the artificial' plant and supplementing the natural supply with the manufactured product was made by the gas company. Th plant which would add half a million cubic feet a day to the Topeka supply was not opened, however, and Indi cations are that if won't be this win ter. At present the big artificial tsnk at the plant is being used for "stor age." In the meantime consumers are paying 60 cents a thousand cubic feet for the pure atmosphere that escapes from the burners when they are turn ed on. Indications are that there may be enough gas in this escaping atmos phere this winter to make it smll like gas. but there wasn't this morn ing in most Topeka districts. The same condition will probably prevail tonight. KAISER WIRES CHEERS Lauds Army and Navy Commanders for Victory Over Russians. Amsterdam. Oct. 23.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY -EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1917 V FRENCH HERO, 21, SINGLE HANDED CAPTURES 'ZEF First Giant Dirigible Taken Intact During the War. American Officer First To Ar rive After the Capture. INTENDED TO BLOW UP GRAFT Zeppelin Carried Bombs for Destruction After Landing. But French Flyer Quickly on Scene Prevented It. BY J. W. PEGLEIt. Bourbonne Les Bains. France. Oct. j3 X 21-year-old French airman. single handed, forced the German Zep pelin L-48 to descend on French soil and at the point of his revolver cap tured the dirigible's crew of more than a score of men before they could destrov their ship. An American offi cer, journeying to the Smmfc' camp from a distant point in France, was the first person to arrive on the scene. The full story of the French air man's feat was told today to me be side the prize the great black and gray cisar that lay motionless amid the pines and beeches of the Vosges foothills, the first Zeppelin ever driv en down absolutely intact and unin jured. American Tells Story. The American officer, who was "in" 'at the capture of the Zeppelin, told me the story as it was told him by the French airman. The bird man took to the air an huur and three-quarters previously, under instructions to watch for Zeppelins. It was only a short time later that he saw his prey. He forced his speedy battle plane to its limit and overtook the great lumbering dreadnaught of the skies. Around and around its liuf-'e bulk he flew, like a sparrow at tacking a stork. Finally the Zeppelin swerved. Its planes were depressed. It glided down to earth in a small val ley. The forward compartment rest ed in a Rmall stream and the two mid dle compartments were twenty feet aloft, the stern impaling itself upon the hillside pines. The youthful French airman stopped his plane at the edge of the valley so suddenly and got out with such alacrity that he gashed his own forehead by striking a wooden strut. With the blood streaming down his face the aviator yanked at his auto matic as he ran forward. He reached the Zeppelin Just as her commander had finished firing six revolver shots into his engine, attempting to crip ple it. Great Crowds Gather, The Frenchman covered him with his own full revolver and demanded that he stop. The Oerman complied. Then with his revolver covering the forward, amidship and aft compart ments in swinging sweeps, the French man stood back to await reinforce ments. The first man to arrive was the American officer. Then almost im mediately there arrived a group of poilus who took charge of the prison ers and the prize. The Zeppelin com mander was found to be suffering from an injured arm. He expressed the utmost chagrin over his failure to burn the airship with any one of the six incendiary bombs which he had in his cabin, designed for Just that purpose. Many American officers, including number of aviator experts, inspected the rare prize today, poking their heads thru small tears in the mons ter's glistening hide. They came hun dreds of kilometers to view the sight and considered it well worth while. Hundreds of soldiers, villagers, women, children, priests and farmers poured over the country roads for a sight of the monster. Zeppelin of Latest Typo. Varts, Oct. 23. France founl an other hero to praise in the bringing down of the Zepplin L-49 today. He was an ex-poilu named Boiteux, who with his shotgun aided a French flyer in preventing the tierman crew of the airship from destroying it. French aviation experts were dis mantling the airship at Bourbonne Les Bains. The Zeppelin was said to be the latest naval type. Official advices today report that D 0 learning: Yes, it was But the Wolff Packing C o. wanted a pic ture of their plant at once. We took it in the rain We use the word service because we mean it.

Thereby Quicken Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men. BY WILLIAM GIBBS McADOO, Soeretary of the Treasury. There could be no more appropriate Christ, as gift in 1917 than a United State liberty bond. Let every patriotic American this year determine not to waste money on Christmas gifts of no value, gifts that would merely indulge appetite or vanity. Let every patriotic American sub stitute for such gifts the one present which would be of genuine value to the reci. ent and at the same time help to win this great war for free dom against despotism, namely, a bond of the United States govern ment. Every American who c ntemplates making a Christmas gift of Jewelry or other expensive things should imme diately decide to give a liberty bond instead. Wives, sweethearts, children, would rather have a liberty bond than any thing else that could be offered to them. Every liberty bond an American citizen buys will arm and help equip our gallant soldiers and sailors, will help to make them invincible in the fight. The more invincible we make them the more quickly the war will be ended. Help Crush Brutalize1 Rule. By the destruction of the kaiser's brutalized rule of the bayonet the more quickly peace on earth, good will toward men will be restored. Christmas day, 1917, should be a time of rededication and reconsecra tion to the cause of freedom and hu manity thruout the world to the ideals for which Christ suffered crucifixion on the cross. We must be prepared to make infinite sacrifices to secure this glorious result. The least we can do is to give up something of our pleasure, semething of our comfort, something of our cone venience. something of our needs and to employ all the savings we may thereby effect to strengthen the hands of our government and to sup port our gallant men on the battle fields. Soldiers Buy $425,000 Worth Bonds. Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 23. Twelve thousand regular army officers and men encamped here today subscribed for $426,000 worth of bonds in the second liberty loan. OH Company Pledges $350,000. St. Louis, Oct. 23. The Pierce Oil corporation today subscribed $350,000 to the liberty loan. Sensible Christmas Gift. Kansas City, Mo.. Oct. 23. "Mighty fine." J. Z. Miller, president of the Tenth District Federal Reserve bank, declared, when told of the United Press plan recommending the buying of liberty bonds for Christmas gifts. "As a sensible gift the liberty bond plan will boost the S. P. U. O. move ment and Uncle Sam at the same time." ACCEPT M'ADOO'S suggestion. N. Y. Financiers Will Give Xmas Bo nuses in Liberty Bonds. New York, Oct. 23. New York financiers swung in line today with the liberty bond Christmas, suggested by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo today. Employes of many large banking and brokerage houses on Wall street will receive liberty bonds instead of cash bonuses for Christmas. The old custom of giving gold coins will be discarded for the new plaSM Henry Clews, head ojp- ?ne of the oldest brokerage houses on the street, said: "Who could want a better Christ mas gift? I would not employ a man who would object to such a bonus. "The plan is an excellent one. Bonds given now to children will be selling above par before they appreciate the value of the gift. Guy Emerson, vice president of the National Bank of Commerce, said: "Do your Christmas shopping this week. "With the seriousness of the busi ness of war facing us, the American people must make some sacrifices. This is one of the least they can make. To give up some of the pleasures of a Christmas and lend their money to the government. "Buy your boy a bond instead of a sled." "Every citizen should give Uncle Sam a -Christmas present this year," said Benjamin Strong, governor of the Second District Federal Reserve bank. "Uncle Sam seldom asks for a share in the giving at Christmas but he has made the appeal now and it is our duty to respond." CAPTURE 1,200 MEN Berlin Kc ports On Seizure of Dago Island in Baltic.

Only unfavorable weatner condi tions can possibly interfere with trie success of Topeka's big Dollar Day Friday, October 26. The people in To peka's trade territory know of Dollar Day. They are assured still more in teresting news about the important merchandising event as the different business houses publish their Dollar Day ads. WMILE YOU ARE MING your en- ILL BE. DOlHd Owing to convenient train service and the many execellent automobile roads centering at Topeka, even bad weather will not seriously handicap the Dollar Day success.

The greater portion of Topeka's business houses are going right ahead prepar ing for the unusual, arranging more "dollar day' features, slashing prices still deeper and declare they will take care of the crowd and the demands at whatever the cost. Probably not since war days, has there been such a tremendous call for co-operative reductions of prices. In this "dollar day" movement Topeka merchants are doing their "bit" and going the limit to increase the buying power of a dollar.

FAMILY LARDERSAFE Find Report Gov't to Seize Can Goods Was German Propaganda. "Washington, Oct. 23. Investigation by the department of justice has con vinced oSficials that the campaign of misrepresentation which has been ad vising householders not to can sur plus foods on the ground that the government will seize them, is part of German propaganda.

Equipments, Shipping and Oils shared more moderately in the rise. United States Steei, however, soon gaining a point. Gas issues. Motors and a few specialties were hesitant or reactionary. Liberty boudB xVz'n were again takeu in round amounts at 99.72. Prices became more uneven on the fur ther heaviness of utilities and the irregular trend ofjpeculative favorites. Local trac tions fell 1 to 4 points. Consolidated Gas and Steels and Coppers reacted to or below yesterday's final quotations. Active equipments moved in some erratic manner and rails parted with much of their In itial gains. Shippings were among the few sustaining features, but yielded with the general list before noon. Liberty bonds hardened at 98.72 to 99.73. New York Cotton Market. New Yorlt. Oct. 23. COTTON Spot, steady; middling:, 29.50. Chlcsco Grain and Park Market. Chicago, Oct. Si.

Rowland Saved Him. "But our club played like a high school those 2 games and Benton and Shtip win the 2 games the lucky left hand stiffs so that Rowland was afraid we was gointy to have to play all 7 games and the 7th game would de cide the serious so he was saveing his ace for the 7th game and of coarse we didnt have to play it so I got no chance to work.

Net proceeds from the Leonard-Ram-ser fight here tomorrow night will be given to a fund for the pur chase of athletic equipment for Ohio's selective service soldiers en camped at Camp Sherman, offi cials of the Cleveland Athletic club announced today. The lightweight champion will battle ten rounds with Ramser, -a Lorain lightweight. man and Kaff and them was tickled to death I wasn't in there, tho the the rottenest pitcher in the world could make them look like a rummy becouse they strike at a ball if you throw it to 1st base. "Well Al I would be home by this time, only we haven't split up the money yet, but we are going to do it today, and tomorrow I am going to put my share where they can't nobody take it away from me but I can get it back, whenever I want it and draw 4 per cent on it all the while. At first I was going to invest it in some kind of business and stay right here in old Chi, but I spoke to Kid Glea son and he says 'What the do you know about business, you big busher. and -the first thing you know you won't have enough money left to buy a hair cut for a billiard ball.' So I ast him where would he invest it if he was I, so he says, 'Put it the same place 1 anf going to put mine, in Liberty Bonds. "So that is what I am going to do with the $3,600 I got coming, Al, and I will buy three $1,000 bonds and 6 $100 bonds and that will give me something on the side for a rainy day besides $144 per annum int. and no chance to loose out. And besides, Al, I kind of feel as if I ought to lone my money to the gov't on acct of not beinf? able to go over there and fight myself on account of having two dependibles, Florrie and the kid. Itching to Fight, "They isn't nothing I would like bet ter than get right in to the trenches, but as long as I can't do that I feel like it is up to me to leave them have some of my money, especially when it ain't really giving it to them, but just lone ing it, and they got to give me int and Kid Gleason is one of the smartest men I ever seen, even if he does call me a busher, but of course he is jokeing when he says that, but ho wouldn't tell me to buy Liiberty Bonds if they wasn't the right thing to buy "If I was you, Al, and had a little dough saved up I would buy one or two for myself and, of course, I know you can't plunge into them like I, bin you're a sucker if you don't take ad vantage of this chance and be help--ing your country at 1 and the same time, especially when you might of en listed in the army and been over there yourself because Bertha could support herself makeing dresses or something and you got no kids tying you down like I and Florrie.

Through Steel Trains DE PALM'S JINX It Has Robbed Italian Drirer Out of Big Fortune. Veiock Says He's One of Great est of Auto Racers. BY JACK VM OCR. New York, Oct. 23. Ralph De Palma is one of the greatest drivers who ever sat at the wheel of a racing automobile. But, unlike Barney Old- i field, Ralph is handicapped by a jinx which has struck to his trail consis tently since the season of 1908! The jinx made itself evident In the Harkness Cup race at Sheepshead Bay in September, when De Palma lost what chance he had to win the j gold challenge cup and the $10,000 purse when he was forced to stop at the pits before he had gone twen ty-five miles, to change both Iront tires. Previous to his stop at the pits De Palma was trailing Louie Chevrolet, the winner, in easy fash ion. His speed boat was chugging along smoothly and he was keeping on Chevrolet s haunch with tne easy skill of a great driver. Picked Kor Winner. The experting persons in the press stand Dicked him as the ultimate win ner, for. Dario Resta had been forced out after his first few laps, and it looked like a race between Chevrolet and De Palma right down to the last two-mile lap. Then came the stop for tires and the loss of the lap that beat the curly-headed Italian driver. The same jinx- has robbed De Palma of a comfortable fortune. He has lost more than 100,000 thru the persist ent pranks of the hoodoo, and it has been his ill luck to have some un looked for accident happen at the crit ical moment to deprive him of a well earned victory. His tough luck started in 1908 at Atlanta, when he was beaten out of a 515,000 prize. One year, at Indian apolis, he gamely pushed his car over the finishing line with tears of disap pointment streaming down his face after a crankshaft had broken in his engine. Another time, on the same track, he was within an ace of win ning from Barney Oldfield when he lost control of his car temporarily and crashed thru a fence. lias Won Great Stakes. In figuring up his losses thru ad verse luck. De Palma said recently that he had lost about J116.000, and his jinx has followed him to all parts of the country. Yet with all of his misfortune, De Palma has won some great stakes. He has twice annexed the Vanderbilt cup and the Klgin National Road races, in addition to the Indianapolis Sweepstakes, once; the Santa Monica light car race, once; the sprint championship at Sheeps head Bay, once, and many other im portant races. He says that the thrills and pleasure one gets from driving a racing car are, after all, the greatest reward. In speaking of his success and misfortune, De Palma said a short time ago: "The fun is about all there is to the racing game, for, after all the risks he takes, the raee driver actual ly gets less money than any other pro fessional sportsman. It is the fascina tion, the love of the sport, that really hold men in the game." Wheezes Hi Or Bob Fitzsimmonn baa gone over the rones and bus tiikeu the final count. The world stopped and shwl a tear when it was .announced that Ol Bob had lost his last fight ami what more could any man ask for of a busy world? Fitz was a eood sport, and a same one. He was a credit to his profession, and no one ever accused bim of being either a Quitter or a loafer in he ring. He died as be had lived, fearlessly, bravely; and iu bis last battle both his victims and bis conqueror pulled for him until the last. Now that Gcorjre Tebeau has gotten out of Kansas City baseball the Blues expect to have a real following next season. At least they do not expect to have to play before an audience of 12 person! as they did one Saturday this year. Carl Moore, who is d oing considerable football officiating this season, was one of the officials at St.. Marys forfeited games. The Ked Cross committee can probably learn what he did with his hard earned fees by culling upon him at the Public Utilities Commission. Arthur Bonebruke, state golf champion, who is playing in the back field on Coach Bearg's high school team, not only is de veloping into a grid star but also is show ing speed like a track specialist. Bone brake, Ed Porter and "Cus" Witham are the three fastest men on the Topeka H. S. eleven and they are expected to be big factor In the game with Ottawa this week. Bonebrake. by the way. Is playing hii first year at football. However, he Is a natural born athlete and has picked op the fine points of the game almost as rapidly as he did those of golf. Among the old Washburn football tars who weqe spectors at the K. U. game at I-awreuce Saturday were ex-Captain Trobert, Church" Sargent and "Hap Mevers. Meyers is iu me a v miaou uiaucu of the army service and is waiting orders to report for duty. floorc-e Nettles, old Topeka high school football star, is playing a good consistent game at K.

Oct. 23. Sup porters of the Indiana University foot bell eleven plan to charter a special train to carry them to the Indiana Ohio State football game to be played in Indianapolis on November 3. The students and alumni headed by a band, are arranging to parade the streets before the game. The success of the parade before the Tufts- game last season proved the possibilities of such a demonstration this year. Ritohie as Boxing Instructor. Tacoma. Washington, Oct. 23.

Oct. 23. The bench show of the American Snake Fan ciers association, slated for Roches- ter, New York, next January, has' been cancelled because Peter Gru ber, "snake king," says it's unpatri otic to take the serpents away from their tasks of killing off food de stroying rodents. "At army cantonments, it has been found that snakes are better than cats for ridding the place of rats and a busy snake in a granary is worth a dozen rat traps," said Gruber "It would be treason to de prive the country of this great source of food conservation and I am glad the American Forestry as sociation has called attention to the value of snakes." CITY NEEDS LABORERS Shortage Holds Vp Paying Work on "West Sixth Street J.oad. Shortage of labor is causing delay on construction work of the West Sixth street, road, it was learned this morning. Actual worft on grading the street in preparation to paving is awaiting the arrival of a six-team grading outfit from Kllsworth, Kan., where it has been working the last few weeks. Curbing and gutter trenches are now being made on West Sixth street but the work on grading the street is tied up. Labor has been short for more than a month, it was stated this morning, and has given the city ad ministration a real problem. The contract was let more than a week ago to A. R. Stimpson, contractor, but that is about as far as the work has gone. Work will probably start some time this week provided that the teams from out of town arrive. The city has only two blocks of paving to lay but with even such a small job on hand, labor shortage has made work diffi cult. In the water and light department, too, according to Commissioner Frank Newland, the labor problem has come up. Work around the plant and on the outside work has been delayed. With winter coming on and the usual busy season at the water works and the light plant, labor may offer a serious problem this winter, the commissioners believe.

Police officers took him to the station and later turned the old man over tg the sheriff's office. The sheriff com municated with authorities at Greetr? leaf, who assured him that relatives of the old man would come to Topeka after him.

Army Made Up of Polish Vol unteers From America. NOW .ORGANIZING IN FRANCE I Polish Residents of France K Form Red Cross Auxiliary. Revive and Fight Under Sacred White Eagle Emblem. BY HENRY WOOD. I Polish Army Headquarters, France, Oct. 23. When the new, autonomous i Polish army that is being organized in France largely of Polish volunteers from the United States takes its place j on the western battle front, two of i the most sacred emblems of Polish life will have been given a regenerated existence First, the Polish flag consisting -of the white eagle of Poland against a J square background of purplish crim- j son and which will again float over a j national Polish army after a long ab- sence from amongst the national em- i blems of Europe. Secondly, the "konfederatka" or national headdress of the Polish na- tion. While the Polish army when in action will wear the French steel hel- met with the White Eagle of Poland in front instead of the( coat of arms of the French republic; the "konfed- eratka" wjll be worn by the Polish soldiers behind the lines. j French Government Financing Army, j The "konfederatka" resembles the forage cap worn by the French and Belgian armies except that it is fully twice as large and sits up on the head j as "cockey" as the White Eagle of j Poland itself. The "konfederatka" Will be of light bluish gray material, j trimmed in purplish crimson or i "amaranth." j While the French government has! undertaken the expense of organizing and equipping the new autonomous army of future Poiond, Poland resi- dents of 'France are building up on the side the various auxiliary organi zations that will go with it. Since the beginning of the war a committee for the aid of wounded Poles in the French army has carried on active Red Cross and charitable work under the direction of Jean de Reszke, the famous operatic artist, and his wife. This committee is now organizing its work to meet the demands that will be created by a large, independent Polish army fighting on the French front for the eventual liberty of the Polish state which the allies have pledged themselves to establish and maintain. Backed by Gym and Singim? Societies. Without question the greatest fac tor in the recruitieig of the new Po lish army are the Sokols, or Polish gymnastic and singing societies. These societies, which number thousands in all parts of the world, have done more than anything else to keep alive the spirit of Polish nationality and the hope of eventual national liberty. These Sokols are now -assuring Che certainty of a Polish army orr the western front of a military value that will entitle regenerated Poland to a seat in the peace conference.

It is designed that the I people upon that day gather together S in their respective community cen I ters and give added impetus to the subscribing of the liberty loan bond is j sue. But the day should in fact be j;come one of celebration. It should 1 be one of rejoicing over a task accom (i plished. The "liberty loan" should and probably will be oversubscribed v by that time. There is no reason why j any one should wait until Wednesday 5 to make his subscription. Let us imake Wednesday what the president desires that it shall be, "an assurance j of an unequaled support to hearten A the men who are to face the fire of I battle for us." j, Many persons will get their first S' knowledge of the existence of the jiGary plan of education from the news i that the schoolchildren of the upper East Side, in New York City, have re- belled against it. The Gary plan in- rolves. first of all, the fullest possible i use of the school buildings in behalf j,of the children. It also, and incldent- ally, involves a certain amount of vo- cational training, and a proper pro V portion of physical development. Gen j erally speaking, the pupils like it very much, because it means to them a thing more real, more comprehensible, j than a dry devotion to the "three j li s." But a. municipal election is pro 'oeeding in New York City, explains the Boston Transcript, and a Socialist named Hilliiuit is running for mayor (tsainnt the reform administration. J The Socialists saw in the ignorance of aome of the East Side and Harlem population a chance to raise a cry against the city administration and promptly availed themselves of it. They marched about the streets a mob of boys, who were easily induced J to make a parade, and throw stones thru the schoolhouse windows. 1 "Camouflage" is a word that was a stranger to Americans up to about, a year ago. They assumed that it was French when it first began to make Its appearance, because it seemed to have a. sort of family likeness to 'garage,", but its meaning was as ob sicure to the uninitiated as "hangar" when the French first began to do atunts with airplanes. But newspaper readers jook upon "camouflage" as an old friend now, altho it belongs to the class of words like "pacifist" and "jprofiteerlng" that have not yet found .5 their way into the dictionaries. The wonders wrougnt by the camouflage I artists form one of the romantic chap j ters of the war, and include setting up I dummy wooden guns, covering real I ajuns with limbs of trees. Concealing j ammunition roads behind scenery j painted on canvas, and scores of oth- 3 er ingenious forms of deception to j baffle the eyes of the air scouts. 3 -j There is reported to be pending in Oklahoma City a proposition to li j cense the jU9. The Los Angeles Ex j press, in an apparent effort to pour cold water on the plan, cites the ex perience of Pasadena in this direction. Pasadena's licensed cats, says, the I Express, conscious of the added dig 1 nity thrust upon them under a license system, have been pouring forth their appreciation by nighf in melodious flights never before attempted- Every j cat immune from slaughter considers j rtself a musical star, so Judged and classified by human erudition. The j licensed cat is considered property, i His life takes on new dignity. Numer 3 ically there are fewer cats in a city J where cats" are licensed. But the 11- censed cat puts enough added energy Into his repertoire to prevent any ap- j preciable lessening of the general vol- ume of discord. The department of agriculture re j ports that the level of prices paid pro j ducers of the United States for the j principal, crops decreased about 0.9 per cent during September: In the de- i last nine years the price level j creased about 2.4 per cent during Sep tember. On October 1 the index fig- ure of prices was about 69.3 per cent I higher than a year aso. lld.l per cent t higher than two years ago, and 104.1 per cent higher than the average of the last nine years on October. 1. The price of meat animals hogs, cattle, sheep and chickens to producers of the United States increased 8.1 per cent from August 15 to September 15. in the last seven years prices ine'reased in like period 1.4 per cent. On Sep tember 15 the index figure of prices for these meat animals was about 52.7 per cent higher than a year ago; ,88.9 per cent higher than two years ago, and 8.2 per cent higher than the av erage of the last seven years on Sep tember 15. TEACHING THE FARMERS. "You cannot eat your cake and have it, too," is an old saying that has many practical applications. Recently the department of agriculture urged farm ers not to kill their young live stock but to raise the animals to maturity so that the supply of meat. shall be greater. The only reason farmers had been killing stock while young was because they found that practice more profitable than feeding fhe stock un til it had put on more weight. Later, people were urged to eat more corn "in order to conserve the supply of wheat, but now people find wheat a cheaper food than corn, and it is estimated that in Oklahoma alone 500,000 iiushels of wheat will be fed to live stock this fall. In other states the feed that is deemed cheapest will be jused, regardless of the protests of people who are not and never have been engaged in the production of either live stock or the feed with which they are to be grown and fat tened. We cannot -raise stock and also save the feed. Price fixing and food con trol may make some minor variations in food production and consumption but there probably will pot be any material deviation from the usual ef fects of supply and demand. The Stockton (Calif.) Mail discovers an anomaly: "Here's a strange little contradictory fact: Women are tak ing a great deal more interest in send ing tobacco and other smokes to the soldiers than men are. Wouldn't you naturally suppose it would be the oth er way?" The answer is easy. Men want what tobacco they can afford to buy, for themselves. SERVING TWO ENDS. In encouraging the people of Amer ica to save, it is believed that the lib erty loan bonds are going to perform an Important function in our national life. The small denomination of some of the bonds renders it possible for the'ordinary wage earner to purchase one with the savings of a few months, and the banks of the country have un dertaken to provide for the purchase of these bonds in small weekly or monthly payments. By devoting, each week or each month, o the purchase of liberty loan bonds such little sums of ready money as are often frittered away for useless things-one not only can acquire prop erty that ranks among the very best securities in the history of the world, but can at the same time feel that a patriotic duty has been performed and a habit of saving acquired. The ultimate result of this war will be victory for America, but what the effects of the war will be upon Amer ica and American people is unknown. When such a future confronts us pru dence demands that we provide for contingencies. No one knows how great a help savings invested in a lib erty loan bond may be a few years hence. And one's savings not only will be secure but will be constantly bring ing in Interest. There are other possibilities they might better be called probabilities and one is that the liberty loan bonds, when peace comes and money now In active industrial use will be seeking quiet investment, may bring a pre mium. It has been discovered that Colonel Roosevelt has but one eye. But he still can see farther in some directions than can many persons having two eyes. THE fOAL SITUATION. The Black Diamond, the official or gan of the coal industry, in its issue of Saturday, sized up te coal situation in the nation as follows: There are mines enough' to produce all the coal that is needed. There may be cars enough to haul the coal but there aren't engines enough to maneu ver the cars. Instead of getting more engines the production of the factories has been sent abroad and home de liveries have been postponed, perhaps, until after the winter is over. Mean while the railroads are trying to got along without engines by slowing down the movement of trains and Increas ing the load on each locomotive. They have done this hoping that the delnv in cars on cross country would be made up by faster loading and unload ing of cars at destination. For other relief the government is depending on that which will come by the closing of the lake season o navi gation about three weeks hence. Ex pectations in this direction are exaa gerajed because the lake tonnage amounts to no more than 5,000,01X1 j tons a month and that will not relieve completely the situation. Meanwhile the east is on short ra tions of coal with danger threatening every minute mat tne mines will be closed down by a strike. Some minas are already closed because they can not operate at the president's prices and the recent attempt to readjust prices did not include the important districts. No indication has come from Washington as to what further price readjustment will take place that will restorer these mines to productive capacity. In the west the supply of eastern coal has been shut off by rail road difficulties and the supply of western coal has been shut off by a strike. The west is in an extremely dangerous position, duplicating in every particular the situation which o: eiri-'ati n tb east I THE TOPEKA STATE JOIEXAL By FKEDF.RIC i. HAKKIX, IJirector, H ashlnctOB, D. C. NERVES AND THE WAR. Washington, D. C, Oct. 23. In no previous war have nervous diseases and disorders been such a distinct and alarming problem as they are in this one. Nervous breakdowns, mad ness, suicides, have occurred in such amazing numbers as to sifgsest the possibiltiy that modren warfare is not the natural occupation of man, even tho German. Statistics show that 10 per cent of the total Canadian casualties are nerv ous disorders of one kind and an other. The percentage in the other allied armies has not yet been cal culated, but it is known to be run ning extremely high, while the same must be true of Austria and Ger many. An American doctor who worked with the Red Cross in Ger many at the beginning of the war, asserts that with every load of wounded brought, in from the firing line there were many insane and psy choneurotics. Nervous Disorders Unexpected. With all its scientific preparation for war, Germany had not antici pated any trouble with nerves. It was a totally new problem, and one for hich no provision had bsen made at all. The nervous cases were sent to the base hospitals, along with the surgical cases, and received scant attention. They were of no inters-st whatsoever to the surgeons, natural ly, but a great nuisance, interfering with the provisions for other pa tients. As soon as possible they were removed to the evacuation- hospitals or convalescent homes where they were kept for a few weeks and then sent back to the front. Within a short time they would be back in the base hospitals again. This Red Cross doctor says he knew of one case that went thru this procedure three times before it was discoyered that it was useless to return him to the front. Then, the government ordered a psychiatrist stationed at every base hospital to take oare of such cases, which greatly expedited matters. If a man were insane, he was sent to an institution; if merely feeble-minded, he was put on some simple duty in the home guard"; if a neurotic, he was tak en off the firing line, and if he turned out to be a slacker, able but unwilling to fight, he was given hard labor about) the fortifications or on the military roads. Thus, each case was treated individually. Classifying Temperaments. What Germany learned at the be ginning of the war, of course, every other belligerentl earned,-too. It wras not long before France began to take preventive measures by turning each recruit over to a psychologist before sending him to the front. There was not time enough to analyze the com plexities of a man's mind. So the French psychologists tiivided the esses broadly into four groups the gastro intestinal, muscular, nervous and re spiratory. Dutie3 entailing hardship and prolonged physical strain were as signed to men classified as gastro intestinal cases; the muscular type was assigned to hard work and con tinuous labor; while positions requir ing quick thinking 'and extraordin ary spurts of energy were given to men of the nervous group, and the respiratory individual was employed chiefly in the aviation corps. This is still the French classifica tion, according to one physician who has lately returned from France, al though the examination of recruits falling into the "nervous" group is much more careful than It was at first. And, even so, the French medi cal corps is said to have need of every psychiatrist it can get to treat the large number of nervous cases that appear with every ambulance of wounded. As for Canada, the splendid system of military hospitals in that country is due chiefly to its early encounter with disordered nerves. r When war first broke out, all was 'confusioja in Canada. Canada had not anticipated war. &ne naa no army, no navy. no. munitions plants and no military hos pitals to speak of, and all these things had to be created in a hurry, as was the case in the United States. There was no attempt to create any partic ular system until those first nervous cases started coming in. and some thing had to be done with them. Canada's Model Methods. Now Canada's method of handling its wounded is an example to the whole world. When Canadian troops are shipped back to be mended, they are at once examined by a board of medical men, psychiatrists and psy chologists, which diagnoses their cases. A man afflicted with tubercu losis is "not sent to the same hospital with a man having a gun wound in his left shoulder. He is send to a tu bercular sanitarium. The man with the gun wound is sent to a surgical hospital. Insane soldiers are put in charge of expert psychiatrists in the military insane asylums: feeble-minded soldiers are educated; the blind and crippled are re-educated, and nervous disorders are taken care of in special hospitals. This is the first time that psychol ogy and psychiatry have entered the field of war, or the first time that war has entered the fields of psychology and psychiatry whichever way you wish to put it. Doubtless there was insanity in past wars. Personal memoirs of the Napoleonic wars, in fact, prove it. But apparently little attention was paid to the matter. Now, we are told, it is the brains behind the guns rather than the guns them selves that decide the issue. This seems imnrobahle but if true, von pan onsilv- enmnrehend how diKastron it would be to have an insane man be would be to nave an insane man be- hind a win. He might be capable of r m,,n.trmw chc.rrlittr in o crisis, 1 such as refusing to fire the gun. turn ing it upon his own comrades instead of the enemy or running away with it there are many hideous possibili ties. AVhy Men Go Insane. Yet how can the ordinary recruit ing officer tell which men will go mad-in the midst of battle, and which will not? He can't, and that is where the military psychologist comes In. Insanity is due to two causes: It may be inherited, or it may be in duced by a hostile environment-. .Take a man who would do very well as a blacksmith who can use his hands but hot his wits skillfully and put him in charge of an intricate military maneuver. Xine times out of ten he will fail, and seven times out of ten he will go insane. Hence, the work of the military psychologist is to de termine each soldier's proper environ ment. What are his capabilities? What is his physical strength? What energy does he possess? So important has the business of choosing the proper job for each man become that extensive studies are nr. Joiner onnHucted by many universities on the psychology of modern warfare. One learned professor is at present making extensive researches into the psychology of gunnery, for example, and anotner is studying th9 psychol ogy aviation. A man who operates an aeroplane often controls the des tiny rt munv lives, as well as quite a bit of valuable property, and should-- not be chosen for the JoD carelessly. It is when. the men come back from the front, wounded or mentally de ranged, that the duties of the military psychiatrist begin. He must diagnose and prescribe for each case. This is often difficult, for in this war a number of peculiar maladies have ap peared aa startling aiscoveries to sct- ence Among these is the "malinger- er," who deliberately simulates in sanity or epilepsy in order to escape duty at the x front. The European psychiatrist has dealt with this type by treating him with ice baths and straight jackets, which usually cure him of his insanity. But there is al ways the chance that he is actually what he pretends to be, and some times such cases must be studied forJ weeks before the true nature of the case may be determined. A "Malingerer" and Real Affliction. But for every "malingerer" there are numerous cases of evident real affliction to be treated. Some are organic cases, where a piece of shrap nel has penetrated tho nerve tissue. These are treated after the trouble has been located by an X-ray. Then, there are stupor cases, brought on by shock, in which a man will lie -for days in a deep stupor, rousing only at intervals to live over again in de lirium the horrors of battle.. One boy lay in such a stupor for ten days after he had seen his chum blown to pieces in the trenches. Another boy, who had been under fire for three days at a stretch, came to a week later, walking in a country, lane. He did not know what had happened to him in the meantime. Of all the cases that of the neurotic presents the most difficulties. He is the man who breaks under the strain, and is hardest to cure. European psychiatrists believe that all of neurotic tendencies should be kept away from the front. "The fatigue of long marches," says Dr. E. Murray Auer, formerly of the Twenty-third General hospital, B. E. F., France, "exposure, worry over conditions at home, the monotony of trench life, the fear of failing in his duty in a crisis, the morbid anticipation of a charge, of the ground opening be neath him to engulf him all these tend to- fan any neuropathic predisposition into flame." An investigation of many of the in sane cases showed a large number to have been neurotics who would better have been eliminated at the recruiting office. Neuropathic symptoms include im pulsiveness; inclination for solitude; avoidance of strange company; reti cence; sense of being observed on the street; easy excitability; inclination to jump when on a height; a fear of cor ners and entries and of the dark: un easiness on crossing a bridge; talking in the sleep; nightmares and som nambulism, and general feeling of in capacity.

The officers with our army "some where in France," and those in charge of the various training camps in this country, report that they are flooded with anxious and pathetic lettersfrom mothers asking what has become of their sons and begging them to "please tell my boy to write to me." It is a pitiful little side light on war and life isn't it? The young who forget the old who remember. The young who go marching away to a new existence, full of new sights, and sounds; new experiences, new duties; new acquaintances; every minute brimming over with new interests and thoughts and expectations, so that in a few days, almost, the old life li.es behind them,- dim and far away as a dream. But the old mother sits at home with nothing new to distract her thoughts except the new sorrow of be ing parted from her boy and her fears of the dread unknown into which he is going. She cannot touc(h that even with her imagination, and so she longs with a poignancy of yearning, of which the boy cannot even conceive, for some word from him that will tell her of his daily life how his time is spent, what he has to eat, if he re members to tuck his blankets in at night the way she alwTays tucked them. So she waits day after day, hoping, watching, waiting for the letter that never comes. Each passing of the postman is a tragedy that blurs the patient old eyes with tears. For this is the tragedy of motherhood that children can forget -their mothers but mothers never forget their chil dren. The officers are doing all they can to induce the soldier boys to write home letters. Perhaps their efforts are not any too successful, for here we strike upon the strange and inex plicable vagary of the masculine tem perament that makes the average man hate ink as the' devil is said to hate holy water. And especially does he hate pen and ink as it applies to the members of his own family. The very thought of indicting a letter to those of his own household brings on a case of to tal pen paralysis, so that it is a com mon thing for brothers not even to correspond. Worse still there are many men who never even write .to their mothers. They keep up a cold, vague and flabby communication with her thru their wives, or thru their children. Per haps if they consider themselves good sons, they send the old lady a little check at Christmas or on her birthday, with a few formal lines that they dic tate to their stenographers. 1 But they never sit down and take pen in hand and write their mothers long, intimate, personal letters, tell ing her all the dear details of their lives that she would like to know, or saying to her the words of love and appreciation that would be honey on her lips as she read them. As for writing her such a letter every week, or two or three timta a week, why they would be appalled at the very thought of such a thing. ,-,-7n-ey have never written to mother. When they left home when they were boys and came to the city to seek their fortunes they were too much glamoured with the stir and bustle and bright lights at first to write to her. Then during the years in which t..ey were struggling for a foothold they were too busy to write to her. And by the time they had won suc cess so r. tny new interests engrossed their attention that they had ceased io even mink about writing to her. None of these men are intentionally seirisn or deliberately cruel. Not one of them would torture his mother or darken her life with sorrow and anxiety by any overt act iff his. Yet that is exactly what his silence uotes. it is a stao in the heart as deep as the black tiand of ingratitude and neglect can thrust. It is theyceaseless gnawing at her mother iove of a thousand needless anxieties that a let ter wouia nave slain. The average mothers world is bounded by her children. She has few interests outside of that narrow realm, and when they go away from home they literally taite Jier life along with them. Their sorrows are her sorrows, their struggles her struggles, their triumphs her triumphs. The smallest thing that happens to them is vital to her. The universe exists for her as it affects them. To hear that Jim has been made head clerk in the grocery store is of more thrilling interest to her than that a new Napoleon has risen on the field of battle. That John has lost his job is a greater disaster than the overthrow of an empire. She is more filled' with curiosity to know what sort of a girl Sammy is engaged to than she is about the whole future of the feminist movement, and the news that typhoons and cyclones have destroyed villages, and towns, and sections of some far away country does not cause her a hundredth part as much regret as hearing that Jim's crops have had too much rain. Wherever her children are. her mother heart goes out to follow the.r in their fortunes, and this is whw-it so cruel a thing for her children i in their selfishness and their eif. absorption in their own affairs to deny her the comfort ofi their letters that would enable her to keen sten with i them, and to feel that she had nart their daily lives, no matter how far removed it was from her. The twilight of mother's life is gen erally dull and drab. Perhaps it riust be spent in some lonely place where i mi """""H"" "apuer.s. xneoniyway i wniel? any interest, any thrill of ex- citement, anything new to think about oKoMt ftT mA tn i "V 7t thru the letters from her children that she has sent out into the world. They are in the thick of twines where everything is happening. They :ire having t-tVange adventures, meeting the people of whom one reads in the papers, seeing queer things; they srre l fighting, struggling, achieving, failing- Write mother of these things. Oive I her some of the overflow of your f overfull life. It" would be a ray of sunshine across her dark hour. It will give a new fillip of interest to C life that has few interests of its own. She will read such a letter over and .ver again and show It to her cronies, and the old ray heads will wag over it with their tea and gossip. And the -pride the pitiful prides that mothers have in being remember e, and in their children showing them even decent appreciation antl grati tude! Did you ever hear a mother brag, "My John -is a very successful business man in the city, and he has a million things to do every day, but no matter how rushed he is with work he never lets a week go by without writing to me?" It is a thing to bring the tears to your eyes. It is so little a thing for the man to do "for the mother who has done so much for him. But generally John doesn't write. He doesn't even think how dear it must be for the mother who watches and waits for 4he letter" that never comes from the son who has forgotten her. "Boys, write to your mother," say the commanding officers to soldier boys. I say, "men; everywhere, write to your mothers." And write them love letters. Soon enough the time will come when your conscience will torture you with the thought of your neglect, and the many times the anxious old eyes watched in vain for the postman's coming with the letter you were too careless to write.

Somebody's Pal. (By Isabel Frost.) It was not that Three Arrows was naturally suspicious, but nature had placed it so seclusively, all by itself on the shoulders of Kaska-mountain, that it regarded strangers in the light of Interlopers. Therefore, it kept one eye on Evelyn May from the moment she steppedi from the river steam boat. Another thing that did not add to her immediate popularity was her reticence. She absolutely refused from the beginning to take Three Ar rows into her confidence. Whether she had come north drawn" by the lure of gold, or merely from the love of adventure, no one could, tell. Slim Rogers sized her up at long distance from his point of vantage on the lean-to porch of Rarferty's shack. In Three Arrows he was accounted not only local sheriff, but also the final court of appeals on the standing of strangers. Slim had been rather idle of late. A pall of monotonous morality had fallen over the land im mediately under his lawful guardian ship. There had been no killings since Christmas, when Lone Duck, Irom Nome, had jubilantly picked 04T two harmless salmon trimmers from a tribe down river. The Golden Eagle had baen doing a languid business, supported only by local patronage, and the citizens of Three Arrows e beginning to take a civic pride in preserving the peace. Therefore, Slims occupation was gone, and he had the more leis ure to observe Evelyn May. It was this observation which an noyed Evelyn.

Mrs. Rafferty ftau ruled public opinion in Three Arrows tor many moons, Dut even she was placed aloot from Evelyn's confidence. She would stand in the door of her kitchen after lightsoinely turning fried eggs and bacon for her star boarders breakfast, and try her best to glean some personal information.

"Is it very far up Kas ka She looked from the window at her right hand at the great peak that seemed to touch the morning clouds. j.neres nothing to see when vou get up there," said Mrs. Rafferty. "You want to go up or down the river if you're looking for sights. There ain't nothing up there but Indians It gets pretty bare past timberline. You wouldn't find pickings for a wood chuck." Evelyn glanced at her with her first shusv of interest. "Do you know woodchucks?" Bhe asked eagerly. "Its the first time I've heard the word since I came West, and 1 guess there aren't any out here." "We're both of us from Connecti cut," responded Mrs. Rafferty. "Come from -down East, do you Evelyn retreated into her shell at once, and only nodded. From the cor ner of her eye she could see Slira's tall figure shadowing the doorway. "Better put me up a lunch, Mollie," he said to Mrs. Rafferty, trying to ignore the presence, at the table by the window. "We're going up Kaska again today. Benson blew in last night, and they think they've struck a new scent." Mrs. Rafferty bustled around, carv- Ling- deep slices of boiled ham as she taiaea. "Well, I hope to the lord. Slim Rog ers, that you never come within a mile of shooting at him. If ever a man deserved what he got, it was Lone Duck. He got so he thought he owned the whole river front. It wasn't just those two fellows from the sal mon fishery. He'd about eight more to his credit, Tom says, and then some. Did you near what the fight was about? I mean the one with the kid." Slim helped himself to a large cup of black coffee, knowing full well that he had an audience. "They fought over an Indian girl. Lone Duck came into carr.p drunk and started to beat her up. Billie had been" prospecting around there for several weeks, and I rather think the Duck was afraid he had heard too much from Neonta. Anyway, he tried to silence him forever, and the kid got In first shot. Law's law, Mollie, you know. Nice citizens you women folks would make, wouldn't you, if you let ever' curly-haired, blue-eyed youngster get away with minder! There's nine of us going after him to day and Benson says he can lay his finger right on him." No one will ever know just what took place in Evelyn's mind at that moment. She rose from her table and went over to Mrs. Rafferty's side. "Can't I help you cut these sand wiches? I'd love to help," she said. Whereupon it naturally befell that Mrs. Rafferty introduced Slim. Never in the sheriff's twenty-night years of life had he encountered such a subtle spell as that which lay in the girl's personality. Didn't he think the view from Kaska was wonder'ul? He sure -did. And when she bes-ged for the privilege of riding up with him and tne rest of tne posse Sum was not the man to say her nay. They were going eight miles around the mountain. He told her she could ride until he ask her to turn back, and she agreed to obey orders. There is a witchery about Alaska scenery In June and suddenly, without warning, the whole land thrown aside its frozen cloak and blooms in splendor. Slim had only known her for four hours, but before they had reached the timberline he had forgotten the vital Importance of catching the kid. and was absolutely at the mercy of Evelyn May. It didn't worry him much- Benson had .gone ahead with tneother men. He could afford to loiter. When her pony stumbled and came up with a sprung knee. Slim welcomed the delay as a gift from the gods. He stood beside her as she sat on a great boulder, overlooking the country for miles, and even with hr teasing, provocative blue eyes mock ing his earnestness, he told her what life might be Hke if she remained in the Yukon country as the sheriff's bride. "You'd make a wonderful pal for somebody, Mr. Rogers, but how about being a husband We're almost strangers. You men of the North do your wooing rapidly." "We have to," said Slim shortly, "or they get away. It's a fearful cli mate up here. A woman's got to have a doggone good reason or she'd never stay in it at all." He stopped short. There came the sound of rapid firin above them, then the crashing, sliding grind of hoofs, as a horse and rider dashed i recklessly down the mountain trail 1 Slim whipped his pistol out and aimed as the boy shot past them, but Eve lyn's hands gripped bis, and she bur ied her teeth in the wrist that held the revolver. It was over in sn in stant. The kid was out of sight al ready, bound for safety, and Slim stood over a sobbing girl, looking at the blood trickling from his wrist. Somehow his arm found its way around her shoulder, while she told him of her mission to Three Arrows. The Kid was Just her brother, nine teen years old, and the baby of the family back East.- They had not heard trom mm in montna, ana had come out alone .to learn the rea- son. I'm sorry. Slim, she said, "trial I hurt you. I didn't mean to. I sup pose it's wrong to want him to get away when he broke the law." Slim smiled peacefully; the head ot Evelyn May leaned willingly against his shoulder. "I guess he'd better put up a plea of self-defense and come back home," he said, "so as to be in time for the wedding." (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) T1AVELETTE BY MK8AU. The Vale of ljlai.goltcn. No traveler in quest of those "cer tain jolly humours" that Stevenson talks about, would ever pass by Llan gollen. It is a small market town near the English bolder, clustered about the river Dee and. shut in by hills on all sides. The Dee winds thru the valley like a silver thread, now vanishing in the woods and now flashing in the sun, while Its curves and eccentricities add grace and beauty to the picture. The town boasts a fine old bridge, built in 1345, which is accounted one of the seven wonders of "Wales. It ia a quaint structure, and from its point ed recesses, where idlers profitably spend the day gazing and fishing, is a view that for vaiiety and picturesque ness is not to be excelled; houses perched upon stone walls rising di rectly from the river, their bay win dows overhanging the watery little gardens on the river wail,, -church spire near its clusters of trees and the well-wooded slopes of the hills in the background. The bridge and PlaS Newydd, the home of the famous "ladies of Llan gollen," are the chief points of in terest. The latter is a long, rambling low-roofed house, where "two Irish spinsters, who from girlhood had vowed celibacy and eternal friendship, lived together for half a century. They were the Lady Eleanor Butler, a descendant of the Duke of Ormond, and Miss Sarah Ponsonby. daughter of Lord Ponsonby. The interior of the house is a succession of magnifi cent rooms; there you will find ex quisite china and plate, the good la dies' snuff boxes, spectacles, watches and jewels, and the keys which, along with the cats were the special care of Mrs. Mary Caryll, their devoted servant. Whether these ladies had been crossed in love U not known, but they sought solitude and evidently found it to their satisfaction. Their unique position and strange habit of wearing partly masculine attire attracted much attention and many distinguished per sons visited them, among whom were the Duke of Wellington, Madame de Genlis, De tuincey, Wordsworth and Scott. The venerable spinsters with their faithful servant now lie In PIas Newydd churchyard. The scenery about Llangollen is best described as "cozy." The wind ing Dee with its clustering woods is wild in parts, but it is never very far to a cozy cottage hidden among the trees, or a neat inn, and the weary traveler need never fear, that as night comes he is altogether out of reach of a substantial supper and a comfort able bed in the good old English style. DINNER STORIES General Pershing told in Purls a story about a young American soldier- "He talked a lot on the voyage over, said the general, or, tne de lights he would take in sightseeing when on leave." 'Don't miss Notre Dame cathe dral in Paris, said a French volun teer. 'You bet I won't,' said he. 'Don't miss Westminster Abbey in London,' said a Scot. 'No, siree! But, say, fellows, the young soldier declared, the thing I'm craziest of all to see ia the Church of England.' A novelist said at a Bar Harbor tea: "It is incredible what. -Some women will spend to get into society. A western millionaire's wife came to New York, took a house in Fifth avenue, and gave a ball of great magnificence. "When her husband footed up the bills he winced and said: 'My Maria, these here bills tot up to $30,000!' 'It costs money; dearie, said the wife, 'to get Into society. "Humph said the millionaire. 'It don't seem to me that we're gtntin into society as much as society Is gettin' into us."

Shelden, of the Eight eenth engineers. Company B. He is the brother of Mrs. H. .B. Hogeboom, and has just written her a brief ac count of the daily life of the soldiers there. Mr. Sheldon was a high school aud college man in Topeka, and laterj want to California to live. A part of his letter is as follows: "I have already met men who know a lot of fellows I know, one-had been in the same ambulance corps with a friend of mine. What a place this is for wine grapes everywhere, and people think there is something wrong with you if you drink water. What we miss is something sweet. Sugar is pretty hard to get, and we can have it unly on certain days. You could make a forty ne here making the ice cream and candy such as you used to make at home. If you should ever make too many of those chocolates, you can gladden some hearts if you will send them over to France. I also wish Mother would make mV a fruit cake. You only have to pay postage to New York. "It is hot here in the day but cool at night. It doesn't get very cold in this part of France, but it rains as it does in California. We are near a large city, and can leave the camp evenings and on Sundays. In town everything is cafes. There are tables out on the sidewalk where people drink wine and beer. Wine was very cheap when we first landed here, and so was nearly everything else, but the boys display so much money that things' are going up fast in price. We get nearly as much a day as a French soldier does a month. The houses and buildings are queer looking, old and dirty. The streets are about the width of our alleys. We sure had some time trying to find a place to take a bath the first time we went to town. We went to several hotels, but nobody seemed to know what a bath tub was. I don't believe these people ever take a bath. Believe me, I'll sure be glad to get back to the U. S. A." Mrs. Charles M. Sheldon has re turned from New York. fcfhe accom panied Doctor Sheldon on his trip east, and they visited relatives and friends in New England. Doctor Sheldon has sailed" for the trip over seas, and will begin his work in the interests of prohibition "in England immediately after his arrival. Airs. Sheldon is with her mother, Mrs. E. B. Merriam, and later in the fall she will go to Camp Pike to visit .her son, Mr. Merriam Sheldon, who is in the Washburn Ambulance corps. Deaconess Hargreaves arrived this morning from the east, and will be in the state until Friday. She came here from Evanston, III., where she met Mrs. Frank R.

Miss Hargreaves will make an illustrated address on her work in the Philippine Islands. The meeting will be held In the afternoon under the auspices of the Woman's Auxiliary of Grace cathedral. Miss Hargreaves has been doing mission and educational work in the Philippine Island for eleven years, under Bishop Brent. She went out to the Islands from St. James parish. New York. She is now engaged in teaching the Igorotes in remote parts of the islands, where there are no other schools of any kind. Her pres ent post of duty is six miles from the nearest parish church, and every Sunday the pupils of the school and the other Christians of the place walk the twelve miles to and from the service. The mission was built by the widow of the Rev. Dr. Walpole War ren, former rector of St. James parish. In speaking of the people among whom she works, Miss Hargreaves says that they are a gentle, affection ate people, but of that reserve of nature that makes it difficult to win their confidence. When she first went to the inland village where her work is situated, it was necessary for a gang of workers to go before to break a trail for her, and she is the only white woman in the settlement. Miss Hargreaves speaks at a meet ing In Newton, and will continue on Kher lecture tour aerops the country. She is on her way to the coast o sail for the Islands on her return to re-, sume her work there, after a furlough in the states.

Grain Men To Try To Formu late a Flan. ....-n,,,.,,,-., WOL MEET AT HUTCHINSON Representatiyes-of Two Associ ations "Will Co-operate. to Other States." Alarmed by the possibility of mills in Kansas being forced to shut down i because of government exportation of wheat from the state, officials of the two state grain dealers associations and representatives of the milling in dustry will meet tomorrow in Hutch inson and outline a program whereby grain remaining in the state ntny be milled by Kansas mills and the finish ed product exported, it was announced here today by E. J. Smiley, secretary of the grain dealers association. The program, should one be successfully conceived, will be placed before Judas H. Barnes, president of the United States grain corporation. He will be urged to approve it that the crisis which Kansas millers say' they are facing, may be relieved. Those who will attend the meeting will include J. C. McClre, president of the grain dealers association; G. L TSstes, president of the farmers' grain dealers association, and others, smil ey left for the meeting this afternoon. Much Wheat Shipped Out. Smiley declares that Under the gov ernment policy of handling wheat and furnishing it to mills a great amount of the Kansas crop has been shipped out of the state already. In some in stances it has been shippt? to Ne braska. He cites an instance where Nebraska wheat was shipped to. Kan sas causing a duplication in cost of transportation. "Kansas mills." said Smiley, "have a capacity of 45.000.000 bushels a year. The crop in Kansas this fall was about 50,000,000 bushels. Twelve million bushels have been put back in the ground for seed. About 20, 000,000 bushels have been ground or shipped out of the state. This leaves only 20,000,000 remaining in the state. "The wheat remaining is sufficient to run all Kansas mills this winter if the government will allow them to use it. Mills May Have to Close. "Under the present method of the j Kansas City headquarters office it is i being shipped out before it Is ground and if this continues Kansas mills will have to close. "What we are, going to try to do in Hutchinson tomorrow will be to for mulate a scheme whereby this Kan sas wheat may be ground by Kansas mills and the finished product shipped out. In this way transportation costs will be lowered and Kansas mills will continue to run. The mills are well equipped to do the work."

McKeever of the defense, that h had deposited S 000 of his money in the bank under an' assumed name. The name under which this money was deposited was that of Kdwin Stanton (Iresser s full name, according to M. F. Siuth wlck. president of the bank, is K'lwm Stanton Gresser. The court room was crowded to day for the trial. Not a word has been spoken between the two brothers, arrayed on the opposite sides of the room. Mr Southwick has remained a listener during all the testimony. When Kd Uresser left the witness stand about 10:30 o'clock this morn ing, he left the court room immediate ly. Mrs. Clark (iresser remains seat ed at her husband s side all the lime. "The motley was deposited in :'eb marv shortly after these alleged shortages were discovered, was it not?" McKeever demanded. "Yes, I cuess it was," replied Ed Greaser. "What did you do it for?" he was asked. "To set interest on it." Ioposlt Slips Introduced. McKeever presented three deposit slips, two for $2,000 each and one for $5,000, all made about the same time by "Edwin Stanton." Testimony in troduced tended to show that Ed Gresser received interest on only one of the deposits, the other two being withdrawn before the six months' in terest period had elapsed. "Isn't it a fact that you concealed this money from the state of Kansas and turned in $1,235 on your tax roll?" McKeever demanded. "I'd have to go to the bank and find out," replied Gresser. These questions were fired at Gresser under protest from Robert D. Garver and his assistant, Hugh Fish er. The state's attorneys objected to nearly every question. "This has no bearing on this case," Garver told the court several times. Garver in redirect xamination of Gresser Vsked if all these transactions of deposits under the name of Edwin Stanton hadn't been entered regular ly in tho books of the bank. Gresser replied In the affirmative. Books were produced and the entry of these transactions were pointed to by the state's attorneys. M. F. Southwick, president of the bank, was called to the stand. Clark Gresser in his first conversation with Southwick denied that he had taken the money and declared he would "lay it on Kd." the witness testified. In cross examination McKeever endeav ored in vain to get Southwick to re peat this conversation with Clark Gresser in the first person. Southwick testified to another con- vers-ation with Clark Gresser. At that time Southwick presented him with the Itemizel statement of his alleged shortages prepared by his brother, Ed, and presented to the president of the bank. "Clark said the statement was about right." Eaid Southwick. Statement of Funds. A third time Southwick testified that he met Clark Gresser in the of fice of J. J. Schenck. attorney for the bank. Clark Gresser had an itemized statement in his hands which he pre sented to Southwick, the witness stat ed. Southwick understood this state ment to be an itemized account of the various expenses for which the money rs1 Hi! I si 3 9 T 0 If- ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT.

"I can't say that it is," replied Southwick. "Aren't all the Edwin Stanton transactions on the books of your bank "Yes." McKeever in his cross examination, delved further into the Edwin Stan ton affair. "You haven't another customer who has money deposited in that manner?" asked McKeever. "No, I don't think so." McKeever presented Southwick with an itemized statement that he had in his hand and asked Southwick to identify it as the statement he tes tified Clark Gresser had shown him in Schenck's office. Southwick failed to do so. He stated that the statement he had seen was longer and more items were entered upon it. "Don t you know, Mr. Southwick. that this statement is an itemized statement of the money spent and legitimately earned by Clark Gresser during the last lew years?" McKeever demanded. I'nable to positively identify it, Southwick was unable to make a spec cific statement. ('lurk (ircsscr'.s Itix-onl. Further cross examination by Mc Keever brought to light a part of the defense's side of the' case. Ques tions were shot at Southwick as to whether he didn't know that Clark Gresser was in debt and was still in debt, whether he had had only two short vacations in four years, wheth er, or not, he knew that the first automobile owned by Clark Gresser had been purchased on the install ment plan and two others had been acquired thru trading in the other machines. FT. C. McKinley, assistant cashier, was the third witness for the state. He testified to obtaining a confession from Clark Gresser. He didn't ascer tain where the money alleged to have been embezzled was spent, he told the jury. Cross examination of all the wit nesses revealed that while most of the cash was handled either by Ed Gres ser or M. F. Southwick, that Clark Gresser hadaccess to the cashier's, or teller's cage, and handled cash. THEY SEEK THE "PIE" Four Kansas Cities Send Delegations to Ciot Detention Home.

Washington, Oct. 23.: Germany probably lost one-half of her total ef fective fleet of super-Zeppelins as a result of the raid of October 20 over England, according to official cable grams received here. All France is exultant over what the dispatches de clare to be the greatest defeat admin istered to an air fleet since the begin ning of the war. The gratification is more intense because it is now known that the German raid was an attempt to carry out a fearful threat of ven geance made four.days before. On that occasion the German gov- emment sent out a warning to both I.".--. ,i .1 1." ..1 .1 .1 w France and England of dire punish ment to follow what the Germans de clared to be unwarranted and inhuman attacks by British and French avia tors, upon peaceful German towns. Reprisals were threatened in an offi cial German communication which in part reads: Germany's Terrible Threat. "For every brick which falls from peaceful German homes whole rows of buildings will be overthrown in Paris." The official French report of the atempted German raids follows: "The first Zeppelin was brought down at St.- Clement on the borders of the forest of Mondon, ten kilo meters from Luneville. It was seen at 6:20 a. m. journeying with two other Zeppelins. It was at once at tacked by one of our army's defense sections.. At first a series of shells were fired at the Zeppelin when it was distant 4,000 meters. The Zep pelin promptly rose to a height of 5,500 meters. In a fresh attack by me aircrart guns the fourth shell struck the outside envelope and the Zeppelin caught fire, "It remained a mass of metal and Tndis ruhhrn. an 1. I n i. ifiuncii pi openers. ive dead bodies, horribly mutilated, were found near the Zeppelin. Others must be buried under the ruins which are still smoking. There could not have been any bombs left in the Zep pelin as no explosions were heard. The apparatus had four propellers. 'About 2:20 p. m. Zeppelin, No. 49 was forced by our aviators to come to earth near Bourbonne Les Daines. It is intact. The commanding officer and seventeen men were made prison ers. (This is the airship referred to at length in today's cable dispatch.) Third Falls and Crew Captured. "A little later the third Zeppelin, the L,-50, came down at Damraartln, near Montigny Lerio and two officers and fourteen men of her crew were captured. Two of the crew were slightly wounded. "The Zeppelin's crew detached a car which they entirely destroyed. The Zeppelin without ballast went off with four men. From the declara tion of the prisoners this Zeppelin left Oldenburg for London, October 19, but was unable to reach the English capital. "Two Zeppelins entirely destroyed, were attacked by our aviators and- by our anti-aircraft guns and came down tn the valley of the Saonne, alight ing in the region of Sisterton. The crews after having burnt their Zep pelins, attempted to escape, but were taken prisoners. "Two other machines were seen in the south, one landed at Laransc in the lower Alps. The other was seen by the aviation center at Frejus drift ing towards the sea in a vertical po sition and disabled. "Thus probably the Germans lost five of their Zeppelins, which were all of the new type from 234 to 244 meters in length and carrying seven and nine engines, with from 1500 to 2,000 horse power." Half Her Zeps Destroyed. Summing up the extent of the dis aster to the German airfleet the report says that Germany altogether has con structed probably 100 Zeppelins of which sixteen were destroyed before the war. The losses officially report ed by the allies were six in 1914; six teen in 1915; twenty-five for 1916 and three for 1917. Thus the minimum o' the sixty-six Zeppelins have been destroyed, to which must be added half a dozen more lost by accident and experi mental trials. Deducting machines loaned to Bulgaria, Germany now has on the western front only twenty-five super-Zeppelins. The greatest air fleet concentrated against England in Belgium and northern Germany has never amounted to more than sixteen Zeppelins.

Former Pres ident William Howard Taft Monday appealed to the financiers of Wall street to aid in making the second liberty loan and any future loans great successes. In opening his speech the former president paid a tribute to the German people, mentioning Carl Schurz, Bismarck and others, and then said: "The end of this war must be psychological. Here we have a peo ple whose heroic loyalty to their em peror and to the cause they have mis takenly adopted, of course call for the admiration of the world. A peo ple obsessed, doctrlnated with a false philosophy. But they are not super men. They are not above the rules that govern all men, and what they i need in order to produce the certain psychological change is a licking, a defeat In asking for the success of the loan Mr. Taft said: "It is of the highest importance in Its effect on the world and in its psychological effect on the German people that It should not fail and that we should subscribe every dollar that is asked for.'

RANDELS IS ELIGIBLE Aggie Football Star Can Play Jn M. V. Conference Ciarues. Manhattan, Kan., Oct. 25. Under a ruling announced here today by Dr. William M. Jardine, chairnuyi of the Missouri Valley Athletic board, Capt. Kandels of the Kansas Aggie football team is declared to be eligible to, take part in conference contests. A recent protest by the University of Missouri was to the effect that Kandels W43 ineligible because he had played two years at Southwestern col lege, Winfield. In making his de cision, rr.

Southern Idaho is threatened with enormous loss thru freezing of apples and pota toes because of inability to secure freight cars for their transportation, according to telegrams sent last night to the food administration in Wash ington, asking that steps be taken to relieve the situation.

London, Oct. 23. An "educational boycott" will be clapped down on Ger many by allies as soon as peace comes. Several large educational institutions of England, it became known today, are already laying plans to complete acivity with German universities and to break their monopoly of educating students from America and other Darta of the world. I The main drive of the British in- stitutions is directed toward diverting t the stream of American students from j the Teuton schools into English i schools. Already certain concessions I to American students are announced. Both Oxford and Cambridge are mak ing changes in their curricula with a view to attracting American, scholrs after the war. Oxford has decided to grant the "Ph. t." degree, which has never be fore been conferred, for the special benefit of American cousins. In the days before the war thousands of American students flocked to the fam ous German universities. The astute German professors made it "the fashion" to be educated in Teuton schools. British scholastic authorities see a shining opportunity immediate ly after the war before hatred of Ger many has cooled, to capture v that "trade." Since America's entry into the war, the interest of the man in the street has increased wonderfully. Book stalls are experiencing a heavy run on books dealing with America. ASK CHANGE OTVENUE Alleged Accomplices of Kidnaper Piersol Want Trial Moved. Springfield, Mo., Oct. 23. Attorneys for Taylor Adams and Cletus Adams, who are awaiting trial on a charge of kidnaping Baby Lloyd Keet, said to day that before the cases are called in the circuit court at Marshfield some time in January, a change of venue probably will be asked. It will be con tended that because of the conviction of Claude Piersol and the fact that the evidence in the trials of the two Adamses will be much the same as in troduced in the Piersol trial, it would be impossible to get. a fair trial in Webster county. The cases already are at Marshfield on a change of venue from this county. None of the accused persons has been able to furnish bonds fixed by Judge Skinker at the conclusion of the Piersol trial. Piersol is cheerful under the thirty-five year sentence given him by the jury and is hopeful that he will succeed in getting a new trial.

A decision in the mandamus suit of the Afro Methodist church against the city of Salina will be handed down some time next month by the state supreme court. City Attorney G. R. Spencer has completed the city's arguments. The suit is the outgrowth of a dis pute over the location of a proposed t new church building for the negroes. When they purchased a lot in an ex clusive white residence district last spring, the whites immediately raised a storm of protest and the city took up the case, condemning the land for public streets. The negroes asked that the city's action be halted. OLD BULGAR TRICK Balkan Nation "Plays With Allies" to Get Tutonic Concessions. Washington, Oct. 23. It was de clared in Balkan diplomatic circles today that Bulgaria has been "playing with the allies" to obtain larger con- j cessions from Germany and Austria- j Hungary. Bulgaria was believed to have obtained definite promises from the Teutonic powers as a result of her i apparent willingness to make separate peace with the entente. The crisis, if any really exists, had already passed when Emperor Wil liam paid his recent visit to Sofia and Constantinople, it was declared. Representatives of the entente Bal kan allies in Washington expressed disappointment today at what they stated was "a seeming attitude on the part of the allies to barter with Bui7, garia." A minister of one Balkan countrjr said: "Bulgaria is at her-old? game, and in it, she is working hand, in hand with Germany. She-began it with the intention of obtaining larger cocessions from Germany and Austria Hungary. Having obtained them, she is continuing her deceitful practices. It is our solemn hope that the allies will not permit themselves to be de ceived again, as they were so disas trously when Bulgaria was preparing to -enter the war."

Opinions or Ir. Schuyler Jaques, I.eyea, for fifteen years and Win. It. NKW VOIEK, N. V. Since the reraark nble discovery of organic iron, Nuxsitrd Iron or "Fer Nuxate," us the French call it, baa taken the country by storm. It is con servatively estimated that over three mil lion people aiuniiitly are taking it in this country ulmie. Most astonishlim results art; reported from its use by both physicians Mini laymen. So much ho that doctors pre dict that: wp shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked women and vigorous iron men. Ir. Ferdinand King, a New York Phy sician and Medical Author, when Inter viewed oti this subject, said: "There can he no vigorous Iron men without iron. Val Jor means anaemia. Anaemia mean iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and wo rn pn Is pah: I he fleshy flabby. The muscles )-k tone; the brain fntrs and the memory fails nutl often they become weak, nervous.

Refining processes hare removed the Iron of Mother Karth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the waler In which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible fur another grave iron hiss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age. yon muftt supply the iron deficiency in your fortH by using some form of organic iron, jus as you would use salt when your food ban not enough salt." I -'Former Ilenlth Commissioner, Win. It. i Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: "1 have Uik.t-n Nuxaled Iron myself and experienced j its. health giving streiigth-bul. ding effect and In the Interest of the public welfare. I feel It my duty to make known t lie results' of Its use. 1 am well past three score years and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due to- i iay to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. From my own expfrience with Nuxated Iron, I feel it is such a valnable remedy that it ought to he used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country. Dr. K. Saner, a Host on physician who tins studied troth in i his country and in crewt European medical institutions, said: "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. "Not long ago a man came to me who was Ilea rly half n century old and asked me to give him a jrellminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as full of vigor. viin and vitality as a young man in fact, a young man he really was. notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron Nux ted Iron had filled him with renewed life. AL ;HI lie was in bad health; at 4tl he whs ea re worn and nea rl y all in. Sow at after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vi tality and lils face beaming with the buoy ancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to-enable your blood to change food into Mving tissue. Without it. no matter how much or what you eat. your food merely pusses through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of It, and a a consequence yon become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow In ti soil deficient in iron.

Assurance of $2 a Bushel Is In centive to Farmer. KANSAS WILL DOUBLE CROP "With Spring1 Acreage, Total 3Iay Keaeh 75 Million, May ed Labor Conscription To Handle 1918 Crop. Chicago, Oct. 2 3.- American farm ers will plant more than forty million acres of winter wheat this year far in excess of anything ever known in this country or any other, B. V. Snow, grain expert declared today. This will largely he the result of government price regulation, assuring the farmers $2 a bushel for their crops, Snow told the United Press. The winter wheat harvested this year was gathered from 27.763,00 0 acres, whit-h was below normal he cause of "winter killings" by frost. Spring wheat this year had an acre age of 19,029,000. If farmers show the same disposition toward spring wheat they do toward winter, the combined wheat acreage in the United States will reach the enormous total of more than 75,000,000. More Than Double in Kansas. "A winter wheat acreage of more than 40,000,000 seems assured from early reports, said Snow, "alt ho an accurate estimate cannot be made be fore December 1, owing to the differ ent times for planting in various parts of the country. "Kansas will more than double its wheat crop, and every other state that would naturally rotate for wheat, corn and other crops is putting all avail able ground into wheat. Unfavorable weather conditions in southern Il linois, Missouri and other central states were relieved early and condi tions are generally favorable for a banner yield. Early wheat is up and a good stand is reported.' ,500,000 Acres In Missouri. K. B. Muni ford, dean of agricul ture at the University of Missouri, to day estimated that the winter wheat acreage of Missouri will be 2,500,000 this year, compared with 1,700,000 last year. He believes improved farm machinery will help to solve the labor shortage problem.

Next take two five-grain tablets of or dinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you "have gai ued. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailiue all the while double their streength and enduran eJ an.i entirely rid themselves of all symp toms of dyspepsia, Hpr and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. Ir. Schuyler C. Jaques. Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publica tion as I ordinarily do not believe In it. lint in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in uir duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and giveu it to my patients with most Surprising and satis factory results. And those who wish to increase their strength, power and endur ance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy Ir. James Louis Heyea. for 15 years Adjunct Professor iu the New York Home opathic Medical College, says: "As a phy sician I have always been opposed to pre scribing advertised remedies, and for fif teen years, while Adjunct 1'rofessor in the New York Homeopathic Medical College. I taught my medical students that such rem edies were generally valueless, but in the case of Nuxated Iron severe tests made ou myself and numerous patients, have abso lutely convinced me that it is a remedy cf tuost extraordinary merit aud one which lixtor. when here" Ntrength and nrrvM. trv with hout s, U success If you have had patients complain of discolored teeth, up the use of metallir Iron, a rain we inircrNt. trv secretions, tc, from farmers "are planting far in excess of what they would if the government had not guaranteed labor." He said conscription for farm labor will be necessary to work farms next year. The Iowa winter wheat acreage was reported to be increased about forty per cent. "The government price fixing has meant more winter wheat acreage this fall than there would have been otherwise," said a report from Ne braska. "The labor outlook is fairly good. All of it will be needed to har vest tlys big corn crop." Gov't Guarantee Gets Results. Denver millers said the government guarantee has had a tendency to in crease the wheat acreage in that sec tion. The planting season there ex tends into next month. Farmers are handicapped to date by extremely dry weather. Ten per cent more winter wheat has been planted in east and north east Texas, in the Panhandle sixty per cent. In the Pacific northwest, the win ter wheat acreage has been doubled, largely as a result of the price fixing. The weather is ideal for sowing. The labor situation is unaffected. MEETING AT EMPORIA librarians of State in Annual Session Willi Bis Program. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 23. The open ing session of the annual meeting of the Kansas Library association was held here this afternoon with an at tendance of delegates from all parts of the state. "Conservation in and by the library" is the theme of the con vention. The address of welcome was given at this afternoon's session by Thomas W.

San Francisco, Oal., Oct. 23. "Make your dollars hit the trail," was the call sounded by Billy Sunday, baseball evangelist, today when he addressed meetings in Oakland and San Francisco in behalf of the sec ond liberty loan. "Kick in with the 'coin and kick out with the kaiser," he urged. New Age of Women and Most Astonishing should be generally prescribed by all phy sicians. Notwithstanding the fact that I am Hearing my SOth birthday, a Mhort course of Nuxated Iron lias made me feel like a new man. Friends say, 'What have you been doing to yourself, yon look so well and full of life?' In my opinion there is nothing like organic iron Nuxated Iron to put youthful strength and power Into the reins of the weak, run-down, infirm or aged. Hut beware of the old forms of metallic iron which often do more harm than good. To be absolutely sure that my patients get real organic iron and not some form of the metallic variety, I always pre scribe Nuxated Iron in its original pack ages.' NOTE: Nuxated Iron, which Is prescrib ed and recommended above by physicians iu such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to drug'gists and whose iron constituents are widely prescrib ed by. eminent physicians both In Europe and America. I'nlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset, the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy fn nearly all forms of indigestion us well as for nyrvous, run down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to anv charit able institution if they cannot take any man or woman under tiO who lacks Iron, and increase their strength per cent, or over in four weeks time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. Thev also offer to refund your money if It does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It Is dispensed in this city by Arnold Drug Co.. lrunt-Martia Drug Co.. Geo.

Special Car Will Carry the Advertising Literature. All plans are completed for the three days' trade extension trip of the Topeka jobbers and manufacturers, which will begin Wednesday morning. The special cars to make up the train arrived in the city this morning and everything is ready. Forty reservations have been made already and a few more eleventh hour accommodations are still open. It promises to be one of the most "hand shaking" group of Topeka citizens that ever sailed out of town on a special train. Representatives of nearly 30 firms will go on the trip. Several travelling salesmen will be picked up after the delegation leave Topeka. The trip will be the social climax of business, according to several of the expectant representatives. Old cus tomers, prospective houses and just friends will all be called on and their "hands shook." Take Advertising Matter, The train will include about three cases of advertising matter of every house represented. Cards, buttons, pencils, souvenirs and every imagina ble form of novelty advertising will probably be carried. A baggage car has been ordered to make room for the big supply of "literature" and "display" that will be distributed on the trip. Every delegate will wear a big but ton on his coat "giving his name, age, color of hair, address and business connections." The buttons will be the size of a healthy pie plate and will be lettered in simple print let ters. The badges have been present ed to the men by the Central Na tional bank. Other features of the trip have been arranged but no announcement has been made of the stunts that are to be pulled off. Each firm will have some special feature for the trip. The troop will visit all the old cus tomers and many new business friends in every community of their itinerary.

Cattle Breeders Should Vse Them on a Large Scale. Manhattan, Kan.. Oct. 23. Mail or der business in cattle selling and breeding cannot be considered suc cessfully without the use of pictures, asserts O. E, Reed, professor of dairy husbandry in the Kansas State Agri cultural college. Successful advertisig in periodicals and direct advertising is measured by the judicious use of good pictures with the printed matter. Any inquiries re ceived thru the mail should be an swered in large part with pictures. The picture is the best salesman a breeder has, believes, Professor Reed. It pays the large breeder to hire photographers who make a specialty of animal photography. The smaller breeder can study the photography of animals and make his own pic tures. A cattleman who expects to be his own photographer should secure all the cattle pictures possible and study the positions of the animals, for the position of the animal when the picture is taken, is nine-tenths of the picture.

NEW NAME BIG AD COXCEHX. j Tajior-Critchficld-CIague of Chicago Now CYitehfield Co. j Chicago, Oct. 23. The name of the one of the country's largest adver tising and merchandising concerns. has been amended to Critchfield Co., by the unanimous vote of its stockholders. This means no change whatever in j the personnel or control of the or- ganization, except that Mr. Stanley i Ciague. whose release was granted a few weeks ago in order that he might accept the management of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, is no longer connected with it. Maj. E. E. Critchfield has been ac tive in the company in an official capacity since the founding of the or ganization and has been its president for nearly six years.

CAN'T GET COAL City Compelled To Make Own Deliveries at "ight. Southwestern Company Fur nishes Little as Possible. TO QUIT ALTOGETHER NOV. 1 Light Plant Employes Haul Fuel in Wheelbarrows. Open Market Purchases Have To Be Made. May "I will deliver as little coal as possible tof the city until November 1, and after that time I will deliver none at all. lcela ration made by P. J. Monahan of the Southwest ern Coal com mi n y, which holds the contract to supply the city with coal until November 1, to It. M. Painter, superintendent of the city light plant. Despite the fact that Monaghan hao 500 tons of coal, the kind used at the electric light plant, stored in his yards the coal dealer is making good his threat, according to Painter, who as serted today that in the last month there hasn't been enough coal at the light plant "to fry eggs." According to the light plant super intendent the city is supposed to re ceive five carloads of coal each month. So far this month, he said, only one carload has been delivered. The re mainder of the supply has been ob tained from Monaghan's yards in wag ons, in wheelbarrows, the electric light plant employes transferring four or five tons from the yards to the plant every night in wheelbarrows. Painter registered a complaint to Monaghan today declaring that if a shortage was to be experienced at the plant every night, he. Painter, would see what he could do. May Buy in Open Market. T.he superintendent said today that in case the shortage does continue the city will go into the open market and purchase coal at any price and take the excess over the contract price out of amounts now due Monaghan for coal delivered. This, he declared, can be done in accordance with the contract drawn up with the South western Coal company last fall. This plan of bringing the coal dealer to time was endorsed by Jesse Shaw, superintendent of the city waterworks, who is also facing a coal shortage. "The light plant," Painter said, "uses about 12 tons of coal every night. The coal company has been hauling 7 tons a day just before 6 o'clock in the evening for the last month. The remainder of the supply has been transferred by plant em ployes from Monaghan's yards, where 500 tons are stored in the pile, in wheelbarrows." The future, according to both Shaw and Painter, is more gloomy. Monag han has declared that he will not bid for next year s contract. Some time ago Frank .Newland, water and lights commissioner, was given opportunity to "hear" that unless he allowed a 50-cent a ton increase asked by Mon aghan above the- contract price that the city would get no bids from any dealer on the next contract. Lino Vp Outside Dealers. Already both the city water and lights departments have been forced to take steps to forestall any plan of leaving the city without coal. Paint er and Shaw have both been in com munication with outside coal dealers. Painter this morning received a let ter from an Oklahoma concern which he says will furnish a better grade of coal for the money than that offered by Topeka dealers. In the letter prompt shipping and good service are both guaranteed. Action by the city commissioners as to next year's fuel supply is waiting until Thursday, the day when bids from local dealers must be on file. Then they will take the project up at the meeting Thursday. In accordance with the report to the effect that no dealer in the city would bid on next year's contract. Painter stated this morning that Monaghan's company was not the only one that has declared it wouldn't bid on next year's supply. Several companies have made the assertion. Painter said. This was after the city had served notice on Monaghan that his requested 50 cents a ton increase would not be allowed. GIVES AWAY S1O.0O0 IN BONDS.

Items for this column may be left at Fetro'w lrug Store, or phoned to No. after '2 p.m.; other hours phone The primary department of the Sec ond Presbyterian Sunday school has grown so in the past few years that their rooms have proven inadequate so the men of the church have come forward and fitted up arge and com modious quarters for them in the basement of the church. All the nec essary furniture to make the rooms comfortable and pleasant has been provided and all the up to date meth ods of kindergarten adopted. Mrs. K,. M. Campbell is superintendent of this department and Miss Margaret Morns is rhe teacher of the infant class. Miss Morns has devoted much thought and study to the work and the other Sun day conducted a ver interesting les son on Moses and his adoption by Pharaoh's daughter, in which every detail was visualized for the little tots. The river was represented by blue pa per covered with glass, the trees were little twigs placed at intervals in the sand, Pharaoh's daughter and her at tendants were paper figures, while the infant Moses was a tiny doll in a small basket. This way-of impressing the lesson on the minds of these little peo ple was most effective and it is need less to say that they will long remem ber the story of Moses and the bull rushes. The children of the primary' class are much interested in theif Sunday school and on Rally Day con tributed their part to the service by their singing, for which they had been carefully trained by Mrs. Campbell. Following the suggestion of Mr. Lindell of the Shawnee bank, the city lights will be turned off for one min ute at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, the street cars will be stopped for one minute and the lights of the dome will be flashed off and on. The ob ject of this is to impress on the pub lic mind the need of buying liberty bonds. Every person is asked to bring a board or stick of wood to help feed the bond fire tomorrow night on the state house grounds. One of the troop trains passing thru over the Union Pacific this morning was placarded, Berlin Bounders." Another inscription that caused much amusement was "Dutch Cleansers."

Weber, Beck and Frazer, booked as "College Entertainers," probably would be recognized on the campus at Alma, Kan., as soon as on that of any alma mater, but they put on the spot- ugnt act at the Novelty. Theirs is Toy far the most entertaining of the five for the first half of the week. Their offering, a comedy singing act, is of the brand that nearly always gets across favorably to a Novelty audi ence. The Three Alexis, equilibrists, put on several stunts thU make the audience hold its breath. The hack neyed atmosphere that usually sur rounds an act of this kind is conspic uous by its absence. John Hamilton. Doris Dagmar and Fay Baker present a comedy-drama skit called "Finders Keepers," wherein a wife, honest un til it doesn't cost her anything, finds eight 50 bills. Hamilton's drollery and sarcasm of the brand generally: adhered to by the average T. B. M. around his own fireside, puts the act across.
