British Army Headquarters in France, Nov. 21. The Germans are fighting on their last line of defense at one point of the British attack. (Hy the ArtHOtJatcd Press.) Field Marshal Haig has sprung a surprise on the Germars in northern France, attacking suddenly on a front of more than thirty miles and break ing the famous Hindenburg line to a maximum of nearly five miles. His troops are still fighting their way f.irvard in the most spectacular of fensive of the war on te western front since the trench lines were established. The blow was struck without warn ing, no artillery preparation preced in,? it. The British tanks- in great; numbers smashed their way thru the formidable German wire entangle- j merits, ploughing a road for the in- fan try. which swarmed irresistibly forward. Village after village fell into British hands as Haig's troops pressed on until at Marcoing and at Anneux, on the Bapaume-Cambrai road, they were only three and three ciuarters miles from Cambrai, the im portant Herman base and important railway junction which apparently is the British objective. Five Thousand Prisoners Taken. Five thousand prisoners have been taken by the British as well as large quantities of war material. The at tack was carried out in unfavorable atmosperic conditions and the weather has since grown stormy. Berlin admitS important advances by the British, conceding the capture of Marcoing and Graincourt in the field of Haig's thrust, but says the at tackers were checked after the ground had been gained. Today's German official statement reports no change on the Italian front. indicating that the Italians are still holding firmly their line on the Fiave and westward to the Trentino. London, Nov. 21. The Hindenburg line has been broken to a depth of four to five miles, the war office announces. The British troops stormed the first system of the Hindenburg line de fenses on the whole front between St. Quentin and the Scarpe river. The British infantry and tanks pressed on and captured the second system of defenses, over a mile be yond. From St. Quentin to the Scarpe is thirty-two miles. The attack was begun yesterday by the third army. There was no artillery preparation, and the Germans were taken completely by surprise. Capture Support I J ne. Too. The second system of German de fenses captured by the British is known as the Hindenburg support line. The British captured Benavis, Lameau wood. La Vacquerie, the defenses known as Welsh ridge and Ilibecourt village. Their operations are continu ing. The whole German line west of the Canal Iu Nor'd to the Bapaume Cambrai road has been captured. General Byng In Command. The British also fought their way thru Couillet wood. Lieut. Gen. Sir Julian Byng is in command of the at tacking army. The towns of Havrincourt, Marco ing, Graincourt and Anneux and Neuf wood have been captured by the British. Tanks IxmI the Way. A large number of tanks moved forward in advance of the infantry when the attack was opened, and broke thru successive belts of Ger man wire defenses, which were of great depth and strength.

HAIG'S STRATEGY SUPREME Supposed To Have Centered His Forces on'Ypres Front. Numerous Strongholds Includ ed in Triumphant Sweep. New York. Nov. 21. The greatest surprise stroke of the war, one of the greatest single strategic achievements of the struggle, and possibly the start of a victory equal in importance to the Marne, is Field Marshal Haig's breaking of the Hindenburg line re ported today. Between the two north and south points mentioned in today's official report, there is a distance of eighteen miles. Over this whole section the British has made an average advance of four miles- Haig troops are literally on the threshold of Cambrai, the vital spot in the German communication lines. The biggest town captured in the drive was Marcoing, five miles south west of Cambrai. With Anneux and Graincourt also in British hands, the British already have a segment ap proximately four miles wide in its arc, shoved around the depot city of the German communications artery. An Overwhelming Surprise. Lavecquerc lies a little farther to the south of Cambrai, at the junction of two roads from Lecatellet and Fins to Cambrai. Flesquires is a bare five miles dis tant from Cambrai, lying just beyond Havrincourt, which was also stormed and captured. The British drive must have been an overwhelming surprise to- the Germans. Ever since September 21, the British have been concentrating all their efforts on the lines far to the north in the Flanders sector. Haig made some localized attacks there not more than three days ago. The Ger mans evidently figured the British strategy was to press this Flanders drive unceasingly. Their lines must have been greatly depleted along the whole of the Wotan and Siegfried fronts between Arras and St. Quentin. That Haig should have been able to mass sufficient troops and material before this German front to break the Hindenburg line at various points even to sweep over portions of the sec ond line defenses without the enemy being aware of it, is almost a new achievement in the great war. The Hindenburg line was estab lished last spring. It was the defense position to which the Germans re tired in their "strategic retreat" on the Somme front. The Germans had worked for more than a year con structing the defenses of this line, utilizing Belgian civilian labor in many sections. Today's blow comes at a time when England is not only still pressing the Germans hard on the Flanders front, but has sent great numbers of her troops to aid Italy in driving back the Teutonic invaders. The fact that the British can send forces to Italy, keep a great army hammering in Flanders and still spare plenty of men for the blow reported today, is a splendid and significant indication of England's military strength. conversely, the tremendous gains j achieved would seem to indicate tnat the Germans have had to deplete their defense lines of con siderable number of men probably both for the Italian drive and to pro tect their positions in Flanders.

The Editor.) i BY I. (AVI I.I. MKLI.F.TT. London, Nov. 21. The allies should not abandon their political offensive against Germany, according to Arthur Henderson; because in many respects the most dangerous offensive the house of Hohenzollern has to face. Henderson, as leader of the labor 1 party, has aligned with him some four j and a half million voters thru the new coalition of his party and the co-operative movement. "Look at this item in the paper," said the labor leader. Crown Prince Scents Danger. The item reported the address of the crown prince to the latest batch of German boys brought to the west ern front to join their fathers and brothers. "There are powers at work attempt ing to sow discord between the Ger man people and their sovereign, knowing Germany otherwise is invin cible," said the crown prince. "It is your work to prevent this." And more of the same. "Of course Germany is not 'other wise invincible,' said Henderson. "The crown prince pretends not to fear the allies' military efforts, but he shows a great concern regarding their ability to make a wide breach by other means between the kaiser and his people. "The real position is that the Ger man kaiser and his high command realize that their military plans have failed. They are now at pains to pre vent their military failure leading to a political upheaval at home. Peace Must Be Permanent. "Military victory is not the final aim of the allies. It is a means to an end. It is sought in order to en able them to achieve the sort of peace which they conceive to be essential to prevent any future recurrence of the present awful struggle and' to secure the end of the war for all time; a peace which will recognize the rights of peoples to dispose of themselves as they think best, and will make the world safe for democracy, a peace which will solve all old grievances without creating new ones and which will secure just recompense for the innocent victims of the foul wrongs perpetrated by German militarism I during the war. "These are broadly the aims of the allies and it seems to me that to sup plement military effort, by the politi- I cal weapon in order more quickly to j achieve such an honorable and a last- j ing peace would not weaken the al-1 lies' position, but would stnuiMhtn it i VaiZZJZ atr Wltft kaiser a"" wr,TL d Personal'y I not want to see any peace made with kai- i serism.

RUSS QUIT WAR Maximalist Gov't Declares Rus sia Thru Fighting. Meanwhile Factional Splits Add to Troubles at Home. (By the Associated Press.) J. The Russian Maximalist govern ment has declared Russia out of the war, according to information from German and Scandinavian sources. A dispatch to Copenhagen from Berlin says that the belief Is held in the Ger man capital that the prospects for a "peace of conciliation" are far better than previously. Neutral capitals have no official reports nor is there word from Petrograd that the Bolshe viki have decided to suspend military activities. The workmen's and soldiers' con gress is facing a split into Koisnevim and anti-Bolsheviki organizations. The district of the Ukraine in south western Russia has declared its inde pendence and 360,000 Ukrainian troops have been withdrawn from the fighting front, which may cause a se rious crippling of the effectiveness of the Russian army. Trotzky Takes Over Of floe. Petrograd, Nov. 21. The foreign office has been taken over by Leon Trotzky, Sub-Secretary Neratoff, who has had charge since the arrest of M. Terestchenko, formally surrendering control and departing along with the other employes. Military staff head quarters' work is reported to be at a standstill except the business of army supply. The Volna Narodna says that within a few days- Lenine and Trotzky will announce the successful establish ment of a workmen's and peasants' government, after which It Is hoped that foreign governments will enter into official negotiations thru the new foreign minister.

William Allen White, noted Kansas author and short story writer and r publisher of the Emporia Gazette. "TsZSZ f Uhitel0 recent action reached Topeka today. Accord ing to the reports. White laughed at an offer of $100,000 for a lease on his Butler county farm. Since that time the farm has been proven dry ter ritory. When the oil fever broke out in Butler county. White was one of the most enthusiastic Kansans. It was his old stamping ground. He had been over every foot of the Flint hills coun try. He had served his apprenticeship as devil in an Eldorado newspaper of fice. Eldorado had provided the set ting and the local color for the "Court of Boyville" White's first real liter ary triumph. And with it all. White owned a farm a few miles from El dorado. Promoters offered White $60,000 for a lease on the land. The lease also provided a- one-eighth royalty on the production. "Oh, I guess I'll just hold it awhile," White told the oil men. Raised Ante to $100,000. A few weeks later the oil men came back. This time they sprung their offer to $100,000. That was an awful lot of money for a country newspaper man even tho he pulled big prices for his short stories and long royal ties on hi books. White spent sev eral days considering the proposition. Finally he turned it down. "You oil fellows are awfully slick,' he said. "I guess if the land is worth $100,000 to you, it is worth as much to me. Anyway, I would rather have the production than the money." Later White arranged with a syn dicate to drill on bis farm. He was to receive a one-fourth royalty from all oil produced. The ffrst well waa a. 'duster." So was the next and the next. Now the farm is in seemingly proven dry territory. And the popu lar newspaper man and story writer is probably thinking about the money1 he might have had if the lease propo sition had been accepted. a And Just to Think Every day a new set of Wallingford stories come from the oil fields of Butler, Greenwood and Woodson counties. But the WThite story has the reverse English. Banker Brown, "Bun" Adams. Senator Benson and others have made thousands and hun dreds of thousands of dollars in the Butler county oil game. In the case of Brown, the oil profits are said to have reached something like three to five million dollars. But Bill White of the triumvirate of "Victor, Henry and Me," seems to have "done" him self for a fortune because he wouldn't be content with a measly, scrawny one hundred thousand dollars when other men were breaking into the millionaire crowd.

At a moment when the world was saying that surprise attacks in this war were no longer possible when tne Prussians were thinking the same thing and sleeping soundly in their comfortable dugouts, without tha faintest suspicion that anything was brewing British army tanks, leading British infantry, rose up from th ground like magic and swung to tha attack., There was no 'artillery prep aration'.

Since the battle of Arras, the Cam brai sector has dozed in peace and quiet. The line seemed Impregnable The Germans had heard that so often they were certain of It. They were confident that it would take weeks of high explosive shell preparation and wire cutting (expeditions, as well as unprecedented barrages to' do tha trick. So they dozed and slept and took life easy in the German lines. There was practically, no artillery fire felt from the British side the "BnglU scher Swein" were too busy with their concentrated guns at Fasschendaele and besides they did not have enough gur.s to concentrate, so why worry?

SANDBAR STREWN WITH DEAD Evidence of Carnage Every where on Littered Field. Rifles, Helmets, Bloody Cloth ing and Greusome Corpses. Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Nov. 19- (By the Associated Press.) The correspondent today made a"tour of thirty miles along the Pfave battle front, visiting Zenson. Fagare and the Sega mill, where des perate fighting has- occurred, and saw the Duke of Aosta, commander of the Third army, guarding the Piave line, whose men hurled the Austrians into the river and re-established the solid ity f the Piave front. At the mo ment the duke was Issuing an address to his army congratulating them on their glorious achievement. An officer from general staff head quarters accompanied the correspond ent and altho the headquarters of the third army was readied at an early hmir trie duke was coming out to pro ceed along-lhe front, He held in hii hand a war map which he consulted with his aides before giving directions for the route to be travelled. Duke Praises Victors? It was a striking picture as the duke stood there studying the map. He is tall, of athletic build, with gray hair and moustache and face bronzed by exposure. He wore the service uniform of high command, with boots, spurs anJ a great coat edged with black, fur. He acknowledged cordially the salutes of the corre spondent's party and a colonel of the staff explained conditions along the Everywhere the colonel said the enemy had been thrown back except at the brink of the river at Zenson, where a few men were huddled in the bushes unable to go forward or back ward and were being slowly cut to pieces. At Fagare, Foline and the Sega mill, the rout of the. enemy was complete, being accomplished in fear ful "hand to hand fighting on Friday night and Saturday. This confirmed previous information and added per manency to the effects obtained. The officer procured a copy of the duke's address to his men. It is an inspiring document, breathing en couragement, and confidence. It says in p-rt: "Soldiers of the Third army: "The enemy attempted to pass our defenses on the Piave, but his au dacity has meet with defeat before your heroic lines and he is driven back, leaving In our hands a great number of prisoners fend "machine guns. My soldiers, your commander greets you at the moment of this glorious exploit and conveys to you She grateful acknowledgment of the country, wifn you' rests tne victory With all our hearts we join our ef forts for the country, for liberty." Where Fight Was Hardest. The tour along the front took the party to the very centers of the hard est fighting and along the edge of the inundated region where the country side was transformed suddenly into a vast inland sea. Approaching the bat tle front the party passed the brigade mentioned by General Diaz, the com mander in chief,, for its furious as sault at Zenson. It was just back from the front line and the men still wore their helmets. Many of them were men of twenty. They were sturdy country boys and marched along seemingly unconscious of their glory. At the barracks they were count ing Austrian rifles and guns gathered In the court. The line of captured machine guns looked like a collection of huge black grasshoppers. The bayo nets were detachable bowie knives with two edged blades. General Eu herenl of the famous Bersaglieri bri gade which carried the d&y, came out to greet the party. He is a short, stocky man of resolute bearing. On the cemetery road, where the Aus trians advanced and set up their line of quick firers, a fearful scene was spread before the party. The road was littered as tho a tornado had passed by. Dead horses lay all about in contorted shapes. The highway was strewn with enemy helmets, blood staineti. clothing", cartridge belts and all kinds of accoutrements. The trees on either side were cut in two and the lines of bushes were leveled like grain before a storm. Evidence of Fearful Carnage. Just ahead on the road was Sega Mill, where the bloodiest fighting was centered. The mill wheel was still running and the water was flowing peacefully. But all about were evi dences of fearful carnage. The sol diers who held the mill stood uncon cernedly at the door. Passing on to thai sandbar in midstream lay cprpses in heaps as far as the eye could see. the uniforms showing plainly that they were Austrians. Some lay on the bank and some noated in the water. The Italians had just buried the bodies of 300 Austrians, but those other hun dreds could not be brought back for decent burial, as the Austrian Vuns cut down stretcher bearers every time they went off toward this bar. An officers' dead horse, with saddle and rich cloth lay among the bodies. The gruesome line of bodies ex tended far down the river. The Aus trians had been cut down bV machine gun lire, as, ino Dy a scythe. All the men In the line pitched forward on their faces and lay there, as tho on dress parade, but prostrate. Retreat Cut Off. Going on to Zensonthe little town could be seen to have been retaken by the Italians after the enemy ob tained a brief lodgment. Behind the town on the river edges are bushes. Here were huddled what remained of the first enemy storming party which crossed the river. The whole place was swept by fire, and one realized the fejirful furnace these men were in. as tne party passed the inundated re gion the tops of corn stalks could be seen above the long stretches of water, indicating that it was about five feet deep. Similar traces of vineyards could be seen above the waste of wa ter. Soldiers of the engineer corps were along the banks of the canal. They had opened the sluices "wide, and the water was up to the sills. The harvest had been gathered, but there can be no planting nor sowing there next spring. To Cora a Cold Im One Day.

If hope on America did not exist then not only would there have been long since outbreaks of moral crises in all the entente coun tries but an unmistakable readiness in the direction of peace would prevail.

Collapse of Bussisf Adds to Allies' War Burden. AWAIT AMERICAN ARMADA 6,000,000-Ton Fleet Soon To Sail From F. S. Outline Allies Needs ai U. S. Allies War Council. London, Nov. 21. England looks anxiously for the day when America's "first million men" shall be in France and when America's first six million tons of shipping shall sail the seas, bringing more men. more munitions, more supplies, in the common cause against autocracy. The hope of an early realization 01 these plans, as expressed by Premier Lloyd George in his speech opening the British-American war conference, was re-echoed thruout England to day. It served again to emphasize he British public's realization of the vast impetus which America will give to the allied war machine and to the Am onrans here, at least it also served as a reminder of the gigantic task to which the United States nas set useii. With Llovd George's speech open ing the conference, the representatives of the two governments pent iu wi to speed up the realization of the premier's hope and aspirations. More Men Now Greatest Need. Foremfcst under discussion was the British plea for acceleration of Amer ica's concentration of fighting men at the front. From Lloyd George's words it was evident England hopes for all speed in this mobilization. "Like Britain." the premier said. "the United States Is a pacific power and she therefore has had to build up a war organization from the start. In doing so she can learn many mistakes which Britain made. Two of the most urgent matters today are man-power at the fronts and shipping. "The collapse of Russia and the re cent reverses of Italy make it even more imperative than before that the United States should send as many troops as possible across the Atlantic as early as possible. "I' am anxious to know how soon the first million men can be expected in France." The premier detailed the allies' needs in airplanes, food and supplies and reiterated the necessity for closest co-operation in the war. FAMED LINE 1 (Continued from Page One.) of: attacks between St.. Quentin and th& river Scarpe. These attacks were carried out without previous artil lery preparation and In each case the enemy was completely surprised Go Across 4 to 5 Miles. "Our troops have broken into the enemy's position to a depth of be tween four and five miles on a wide front, and have captured several thou sand prisoners, with a number of guns. Our operations are continu ing. "At the hour of assault on the prin cipal front of attack a large number of tafcks moved forward in advance of the infantry and broke thru success ive belts of German wire which were of grea depth and strength." There was every evidence today that the enemy was utterly paralyzed by the tremendous force of the British blow no less than its surprise. There has been no fighting of any magnitude in the Arras-St. Quintin sector since early in the summer. Hind on burg Line 40 Miles Long. The Hindenburg line starts at Dro court, just northwest of Douai and runs in a fairly straight line down thru Vitry-En-Artois,. Villiers, Cagni court td Jueant and Pronville, thence on to Boursies, Havrincourt, Gouz eaucour, Epehy and St. Quentin. The first, or upper section of this line that from Drocourt to Queant has been named the "Wotan line." The lower section is the "Siegfried Ime." Both together form the general scheme of the Hindenburg front. The total length is about forty miles. The attack came almost without warning, the only premonitory symp toms being a series of somewhat elab orate trench raids. Even the rather extensive operations in this sector re ported last night by the British war office gave hardly a hint that a push in any such force or over such a wide extent of front was in prospect. Looked Only to Flanders. There has been little speculation over the possibility .of a British attack in force on the western front this fall in any area other than "that of Flan ders. It has bean apparent, however, that German attention was largely cen tered on the Italian front. Admitted ly numbers of German troops had been sent to the Italian front, but the assumption has been that these had been largely drawn from the Rus sian front. It. is considered possible, however, that the British secret service -had knowledge of a weakening of the Ger man front in the west by the with drawal of highly trained, experienced troops to give backbone to the push in northern Italy, an opportunity thus being afforded to catch the Germans unaware and hit them a crushing blow while their strategic reserve in the Franco-Belgian war area was de pleted. Caught Enemy Xapping. 1 The element of surprise, the re ports reveal, was a large factor in the initial British success, as there was no advance preparation by the British artilleryt the troops going over the top and falling upon the enemy, who was apparently without any expectation that he was abut to be attacked GREATEST BRITISH BLOW. Today's Advance Is Renewal of Somme and Arras Irives. London. Nov. 21. The British drive covers a part of the field of last year's offensive on the Somme and the sec tion of the Arras battle front south of Arras. The -British center in thia thrust is nearly opposite Cambrai, the important German base and railway center, from which the British line on the Bapaume-Cambrai road was about nine miles distant as it stood for several months past. The main force of the push just launched is ap parently aimed at Cambrai alone thiss road. What is known as the Hindenburg line was established by the German command last spring when the fa mous strategic retreat" on the Somme front was carried out. It was a supposedly impregnable barrier, which had been in careful prepara tion. The British and French, how ever, showed in the Arras battle- last spring:, and in the French drive on the Aisne front that the line was by no means a bar to their progress and serious inroads were made upon it in various attacks on both these fronts. No definite break, however, sufficient to permit the penetration of a large force which could debouch for large field operation had ever been ef fected. The British movement in its phases, gives the appearance of being: the most ambitious that has been under taken by them on the western front since the creation of their new armies gave them the power to strike effec tive blows. COUGH NEARLY FATAL Boches Heard Lurking Sammy and Turned Loose Machine Guns. With the American Army in France, Tuesday, Nov. 2 0 (By the Asso ciated Press.) Only the fact that the Grmans failed to venture into No Man's Land on a recent night saved them from an American surprise. One hundred and sixty men of the first battalions to enter the trenches tor a week were given special training and after being transported to the front crawled across No Man s Land and took positions in front of and in the German wire entanglements at a point where it had been discovered the enemy came out every night. Each man had been trained ii special task and the entire unit had rehearsed the part it Intended to play under conditionsimilar to that in front of the German lines. The Amer icans reached the position soon after dark and remained in position all night but not one German appeared either there or, as far as known, at any place in No Man s Land. Shot Man Who Coughed. The plan was to allow several groups of ten to fifteen Germans to emerge and meet at a rendezvous. Then the Americans would fail upon the enemy and repay them fully for recent trench raids. A cold which a soldier caught in the trenches brought him a wound in the hand and gave warning to a German patrol of an ambuscade on another night,. An American patrol had ar ranged an ambush near a shell ruined farm house in No Man's Land. Sev eral of the Americans had colds and coughs, but managed to control them, Finally when the shadowy forms of an enemy patrol were seen approaching one or tne Americans coughed. The enemy patrol promptly disappeared toward its own lines, from which there soon afterward came a hail of machine gun bullets, one hitting the man wno naa cougned. U. S. POLITICAL (Continued from Page One.) channel of communication available is provided by the German Socialists and particularly by the minority So cialists. Personally, I would much rather consult with a German minority Socialist during the war than with an orticial of an autocratic German-government after the war. "If we really desire to see a demo- cratic Germany we should do all in our power to strengthen the demo cratic elements in Germany.

Kansas City will be given an oppor tunity Saturday and Sunday to look over the members of the Eighty-ninth division of the national army, and the members of the Eighty-ninth division will be given an opportunity to look over Kansas City, many of them for the first time in their lives. Lieut. Paul Withington, divisional athletic director, has arranged two big athletic shows for Kansas City Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood today caused an order to be issued, of which the following is an excerpt: "Men from the enlisted personnel wishing to be in Kansas City for the occasion may be granted leave, ex tending from 7 o'clock Saturday morn ing, November 24, until the following Monday reveille." This Is one of the most welcome orders that has ever come out in the daily bulletin, and every man of the command who can get, beg or bor row railroad faro will be in Kansas City Saturday and Sunday. A "football special" will leave here Saturday mornins at 8 o'clock, arriv ing in Kansas City about noon. The special will leave Kansas City at 11:45 o'clock Sunday night, to bring the i boys back in time for reveille Monday morning. And if there are "more men poing home than one special can ac commodate the Union Pacific has i P.Teed to run two. I The big football game between the team from the Eighty-ninth Division and the Great Lakes Naval Training station will be played Saturday after noon. Two soccer teams irom tne Eighty-ninth will play a double header with two teams arranged by the West ern Missouri-Kansas Soccer Football association Sunday afternoon. The football team from Battery C, Three Hundred and fortieth Field Artillery, will play a game Sunday afternoon in Kansas City with a team now being arranged for. Ix-t Men Off for Practice.

Cub Trades Will "Rook riaseball World," Says President Weegnman. Chicago, Nov. 21. A report that President Charles H. Weegnman of the Chicago National League club had practically completed an important deal for the exchange or purchase of a number of players was confirmed here today by him, but it was said that the names of the clubs and play ers involved would not be made pub lic until after the National league meeting in New York, early in De cember. "It is not one deal but three deals," said Weegnman. "We are working on them now and for that reason I cannot give out. any facts but I am sure the trades will go -over.

Fame and op portunity do a lot of teaming In the realm of sports. Where opportunity lingers, fame hangs around, and there are instances of it too numerous to mention. There are a few vivid examples, however, and the case of Howard Berry, the great Penn star, stands out in bold relief. One of' the greatest players who ever donned moleskins, Berry has won many laurels and much praise, but during his football career, which will come to an end with the closing of the-present season. Berry has never been a member' of what could be con sidered a really great football team. He has never been on a team which galloped off with the eastern cham pionship. Had Howard Berry entered Colgate. Harvard or Pittsburg his football career might have been thrice as brilliant as it has been. But because he entered Penn, which has not had an eleven ranked with the greatest teams of the country during his term at the Quaker school, opportunity passed him up and football fame that might have been his has been denied him. All Around Gridiron Man. Berry is a great all-around grid man. He is speedy, a great openfield runner, a wonderful line smasher, an adept in handling the forward pass and a great kicker. He was consider ed the ranking fullback of the east by a good many critics last season, and the majority has favored him in every season he has played. Yet the fortunes of his team were against his chances. And thus it is that Howard Berry will pass out of collegrate football without having known the glory of playing, on a really great team. Fate has not had the slightest debt against him. He ower her nothing. What glory he has won he has fought for against adverse conditions, and it is to be regretted that during his foot ball career with the Red and Blue, Penn could not have had a ranking team. Like Lajoie In Baseball. Baseball has a similar case, and, strange as it may seem, the player in question wound up his major league career in Philadelphia. That player was Nap Lajole. There was never a greater second baseman than Lajoie. He was one of the great est fielders the game has ever pro duced and his wonderful batting rec ord is known to every follower of the game. Yet after more than twenty years in the pastime, Larry I-ajoie was forced to pass out of the major leagues as an active player witnout navinj played on a championship club; with out having shared in the glory of winning a penant or playing in a world's series. Fame has not passed Lajoie up, for he is one of the most famous of vet eran major league stars, yet he, like Berry, owes nothing to fate. Then There's Lea Darcy. In the fistic realm there was a re cent case where a great battler passed out, denied the opportunity that rightly should have been his. When Lester Darcy died of pneu monia in Memphis, Fate marked finis to a career that was in the bud. Darcy WES refused the chance to show America what he could do and there are many who still contend he died of a broken hsart as much as anything else. Had Darcy stayed in Australia till the end of the war: had he en listed; had he talcen any other course than the one which led him to the end of tha trail, all might have been different. He wn-"-1 be alive and nppy today had fate been just mite kinubi iu Game With Jackies at K. C. Will Be Great Contest. Camp Funston, Kan., Nov. 21. When the football eleven representing the Great Lakes Training station trots out on the gridiron at Kansas City, Mo., November 24, for its contest with the team which is upholding the col ors of Camp Funston, national army cantonment, it will meet an aggrega tion composed of some of the best football material the country has ever produced. If the training station team succeeds in silencing the batteries of the army eleven, it will have to put up one of the best exhibition of the college sport ever seen In of the country. The Funston eleven will be com posed of stars of the football firma ment, men who have played at such institutions as Yale, Harvard, Ne braska, Illinois, Missouri, Brown and others. It will take hard drives and an impenetrable barrage to win from such an eleven. Camouflage won't win this football battle. It is entirely possible tnat Dr. Paul Withington. director of athletics at Camp Funston, will be seen in action in this game. Lieutenant Withington for the athletic director holds the commission of first lieutenant in the medical officers' reserve corps is a football player bf years of experience. He was guard and center on the Har vard team in 1908-1909 and in 190S was a member ofWalter Camp's sec ond all-American' team, altho that same year Atlantic coast newspapers accorded Withington a position on the first all-American team. Lieutenant Withington coached the line at Yale for five years and last year was head coach at Wisconsin university. "Gunboat" Explains Wallop. New York, Nov. 21.

Va. ?,?W" LOOK AT THE GOOD WORK POSTER 5 BILLBOARDS HAVE STARTED! CS "M r i f Kansas City. Mo.. Nov. 21. Another lid has been clamped on Kansas. The Kansas Ice Cream manufacturers, meeting at the Hotel Baltimore, put a ban on the manufacture of sherbets and ices for the duration of the war, in accordance with the wishes of Her bert Hoover, food administrator. Here after, if one wants sherbets or ices in Kansas, one will have to make them as practically every ice cream manu facturer in the state was represented at the meeting. The reason is conservation of sugar. A gallon of sherbet requires much more sugar than the same amount of ice cream, and the food value of sher bet is 'much less. In other words, sherbet in Kansas will be one of those non-necessities that will go on the shelf for the war, as one of the manu facturers expressed it. The manufacturers also voted to de crease the amount ot sugar used in a gallon of ice cream from eight and a half to six pounds. This is also a sug gestion o Mr. Hoover. The manufac turers not only voted to back Mr Hoover in anything he desires, but most of them expect to-domore than is ordered, according to C. Hawkins of Sterling, Kan., secretary-treasurer of the association. Many manufac turers are expecting a. big decrease in the ice cream .business, if the war cpntinues another year, in spite of the food value of the product.

The Topeka Poultry Breeders' as sociation has wished on its executive committee the task of locating a va cant building on Kansas avenue large enough to house a first class, poultry show and still leave enough room for spectators to get a glimpse of the exhibtion. The poultry people expect no less than 300 birds to be entered for the show, and an exhibit of this size com bined with an equal number of rabbit and cavie entrants will fill any avail able building in the district desired to overflowing. In fact, after the com bined exhibit was in place the care takers of the birds and beasts would have a hard time to find room to per form their necessary function, let alone have room to accommodate any spectators whatsoever. However, the association as a whole shrugged its shoulders and dropped the burden on the executive commit tee. A joint meeting of the rabbit and cavie raisers and the poultry breeders is billed for tonight at the Chamber of Commerce. It is hoped that the Joint meeting will result in a solution of the room problem. TO SUPPORT REDCROSS Kansas Members of lieague to Enforce j Peace Will Co-operate. Kansas members of the League to Enforce Peace, will give their sup port to the campaign of the Red Cross in its forthcoming campaign for ten million new members. An appeal for support of the movement by the Kansas organization was received to day by Governor Capper, ex-officio head of the state organization. Under the direction of William Howard Taft, national president of the league, the organization performed excellent service in the recent liberty loan campaign. Now it will give its loyal support to the Red Cross drive. The league is co-operating with the agencies of the government in every project looking toward winning tne j war. Services of the league have been j pledged to the Red t,ross in us com ing campaign and many speakers and workers of prominence, now associated with the league in various states, will tender their services in the campaign. Former President Taft, who is at the head of the League to Enforce, Peace, is also chairman of the central com mittee of the Red Cross society.

"WHATEVER TOB WAST TO KNOW." The Toppka State Journal Information Btirean at Washington furnishes readers, free of charge, accurate and authoritative answers to questions on any and all sub 1ects concerning which Information cm be had from the unparalleled resources of the various federal government depart ments and the great library of congress. A 3-cent stamp for return postage must accompany each Inquiry. State clearly tb Information wanted, write plainly ana a- TUB TOPEKA STATE .TOTTTtNAL IN FOHMATION BfREAU. Washington. D. C. N. B Inquirers chonld be careful to ob serve two points: Enclose a 3-cent stamp and address their letters to Washington, as above, and not to Topeka. otherwise de lay and needless expense are incurred. It appears that the tables have been turned and now It is the U-boats that are being sunk. Lloyd George announced in the house of commons Monday that five German divers had been sunk on the previous Saturday. The ability to make this announce ment came at an opportune time for the premier, who had been placed un der fire by his critics. It came in the nature of a challenge as tho he had said: Can any of you do better? Fol lowing closely on the marked reduc tion of shipping losses reported for the preceding week, his statement was one of the most encouraging made for some time. It indicates that a way has been found to get the submarines. Thus is Germany brought one step nearer to the necessity of fighting out the war nation to nation and man to man. Both her air and under water campaigns have proven failures. A notable and picturesque figure has disappeared from the field of world conflict. General Maude, com- mander of the British forces in Meso potamia, is dead. Having retrieved the loss -of Kut El Amara two years ago he has been steadily pushing the Turks northward ever since. He has been building, as he went, preparing the conauersd territory for permanent occupation. General Maude's place will be filled but it is regrettable that he could not live to see the comple "tion of the work which he had under taken. It may interest those who saw Cyril Maude in "Grumpy" at the Grand Opera house last winter to know thaf the dead general was the actor's cousin. The indications are that this will be great year for the Spugs. A visiting reformer announces that there is enough nicotine in one cigar to kill two men. Then why doesn't it do It? If nicotine's business is to kill men it certainly is overlooking its op portunities. It is loafing on its Job. It has been stated that the supreme need of the nation during the coming 4; months is an abundance of foodstuffs. The truth of this statement is being more and more brought home to ev ery citizen as the days go by. One reason for this is the scarcity of labor in our rich agricultural sections, a condition which can not be altogether relieved unless the ranks be recruited from abroad. When congress assem- bles next month It will have a fine opportunity to remedy the labor shortage by amending the immigra- tion laws. When shippers themselve3 join in .the petition that higher freight rates be established, the rate question as aumes a new aspect. That such a sit- uation has been reached is indicated by the. public declaration of Walter S. Dickey of Kansas City, that immedi ate and material increases are, in his opinion, desirable. Dickey manufac tures clay products in ten different states and fchips some 50.000 carloads per year, so his attitude is manifestly dictated by carefully formed judgment that an increased rate is necessary in 'J order to enable the roads to handle tSe traffic. A Cherokee county man has sued his wife for divorce on the ground that she was crazy when she married Tilm. This may te a case where the evidence is included in the charge. It is evident that in the round up of I. W. W.'s in Oklahoma the author ities did not get all of them. The "Standard Oil refinery at Norfolk was blown up last week. Contributors to the Red Cross-will have their confidence in the good management of that institution con firmed by the policy of full publicity -'-adopted by H. P. Davison, head of the tear council of the Red Cross. Mr. Davison has already given oht several e detailed statements of the manner in which the funds are apportioned and expended, and has recently made a 'statement regarding the number and compensation of paid employes at the national headquarters in Washington. This statement shows that altho there has been an increase of 60 per cent in membership, the number of paid employes has decreased 264 since July 15. Salaries are shown to be no higher than paid in private employment LET THE CHINESE HELP. Lewis B. Franklin, president of the. Investment Bankers' Association of America and vice .president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, at the opening of the sixth an nual convention of the association, held in Baltimore recently, said: "There Is today an insufficient sup ply the world over of wheat, sugar, meats, wool and other commodities, and no amount of money can imme diately increase the supply. The scarcity of labor restricts the supply of coal and steel, and, in consequence, our output of munitions, ships and railroad equipment is reduced. Con servation of labor and of material are of even more importance than the conservation of money." It does not seem to occur to those in charge of public affairs that instead of so much economy and conserva tion the same end might be reached by increasing production and that pro duction can be increased by adding to the labor ply. There are millions of people in China who are ready, willing and anxious to come to the United States and work. Why not open our doors to the Chinese and let them help us in the only way they can to win the war? THE PATRIOTIC PRESS. Since the United States entered the war thousands of patriotic Americans have volunteered their services to the government. Some volunteered their services in the army, some in the navy, and some in various civil employ ments. In addition, many in the two liberty loan campaigns and in other great national measures have devoted and are devoting all or part of their time, at a nominal compensation or entirely without compensation, to the service of their country. If ever a list is made of these Amer ican citizens who have volunteered their services to their country at war, says the Official Bulletin issued from Washington, it will be found that no calling, profession or business cat. show a higher percentage than that of the press of the nation. The city dailies, with their tremendous circu lations, and the small local weeklies, that penetrate into the humblest homes of the dwellers In villages and on farms, alike have devoted their talents, energies and space to their government. ine loyal ioreign-language papers have been as generously patriotic as the others and have preached Ameri canism and duty In thirty-six differ ent languages. In the second liberty loan campaign as in the first, the newspapers of the country have shown their unselfish patriotism, and the splendid results in each campaign are in a great measure evidence of their power and influence. THE NEGRO AND HIS RIGHTS The supreme court of the United States has invalidated the ordinance of the city of Louisville, Ky., which compelled whites and negroes to live j apart in segregated portions of the city. t The decision will affect similar ordinances in other southern cities and it apparently opens the door .for a successful attempt to secure for the colored people of the south other and more Important rights vhich the Con stitution provides for them but which ingenious southern legislation has tak en away. The opinion of the court, rendered by Mr. Justice Day, recchjnizes "that there exists a serious and difficult problem arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control and to which it must give a measure of consideration. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitu tional rights and privileges." The "feeling of race hostility" to which the court alludes is at the bot tom of all the "grandfather clausea" nd other statutes enacted by south em legislatures to deprive negro vot- ers of their "constitutional rights and privileges" at the polls. If this feel ing can have no standing in the su preme court in a matter involving a civil right no more important than that contained in a sale of property by a white man to a negro, or vice versa, much less can it stand in a con troversy wherein are pending the highest of a citizen's privileges in a republic the right to participate in the choice of those by whom his laws shall be made and executed. This right has been explicitly de nied to negroes in the southern states; and thus far no issue has ever been framed in a manner to reach the su preme court upon the naked question which Is at stake. The present deci sion indicates the trend of the court's mind; and it may be that the negro and his friends will now proceed to test the greater question. The Kansas supreme court has come to the rescue of the people and saved them from the operation of an unjust, unfair and uncalled for act of legislation. The poll tax law has been declared invalid in its application to cities of the first class. It should not be applied anywhere in the world The reasons for this assertion were set forth in these columns when the poll tax bill was pending and need not be repeated. It is sufficient that the court has taken the view w hich it was expected to take. THE TOPEKA STATE JOlBJiAl By FBXDEKIC i. BASKIS, Director, Waahlnctoa, D. C. THE CASE OF FINLAND. Washington, D. G. Nov. 21. Fin land is the latest country to step upon the stage of the current world drama, This bit of Scandinavia on the edge of the Arctic circle, which had been struggling for a quarter of a century to maintain a separate existence against the oppressions of imperial Russia, seems to have taken advan tage of the revolution to assert its complete independence. It is reported that the Russian governor has been deposed and a sailor named Schieks placed at tne neaa oi me the Finnish diet has convened witnou. the Russian members. Rumors that Germany has taken Helsingfors, the capital, are denied. At the same time the case of Finland is brought home to the American people by a message from a member of the diet that un- eas heln comes from the United btates the Finnish people will starve, as thei -crops huve failed. If Finland should in fact succeed in setting uo an independent government it will be a triumph for one of the most stubborn struggles lor liberty that was ever made. It will also be a serious blow to Russia if all connec tion with their country is severed, for Finland is Russia's point of contact with the northern Baltic. Finland was once a part of Sweden, but was taken by Russia in 1809. The Finns fought stubbornly, and when their army had been driven into the northern part of their country, tney harassed the Russians with a savage guerilla warfare. Revolution in Sweden, however, resulted in the ces sion of Finland to Russia and Czar Alexander I placated the Finns by guaranteeing to them the autonomy of their government. Their constitu tion was kept in force, and a repre sentative diet passed upon all laws for the government of the country. Fin land for ninety years remained a con tented and progressive part of Russia. A Ixng Continued Struggle. All this time the reactionaries in Russia had been working for a more complete incorporation of Finland in the Russian empire, and in 1859 they succeeded. Bobrikoff, a panslavist of brutal anl tyrannical temper, was ap pointed governor and immediately set about the Russianization of the Fin nish army. Then, in the same year, a manifesto was issued by the czar, which took almost all of the power away from the Finnish diet and gave it to ths imperial government. The Finns protested against this measure in a petition signed by over half a million people, which number includ ed a majority of all the adults in Fin land. The petition was circulated by runners on snowshoes, who penetrat ed even into the regions beyond the Arctic circle. To this unified demand of a whole people for their rights the czar refused to give a hearing. Meantime Bobrikoff was instituting a reign of espionage and bullying, with a view to breaking the temper of the people. He tilled the country with his spies, some of whom trav eled among the people disguised as peddlers, while others were servants in Finnish families. Men of intellect and influence were prosecuted and ex iled. Cossacks were domiciled upon the people, and were allowed to com mit crimes of violence unpunished. One young Finn, Eugen Schauman, freed his country of this oppressor unalded. He shot Bobrikoff with a revolver as the governor was enter ing the senate house, and then imme diately took his own life. The new governor was more con ciliatory, and the Finnish people backed up Schauman's sacrifice by declaring general strike. The czar was compelled to revoke the decree of 1899, and the diet was again con vened under a new diet law, wlvch b me voie to overy man, woman and child in the nation. Twenty-five women were elected to sit in the first parliament under this law. Thus Fin land was the first country to adopt woman suffrage, and the first to give women a place in its law-making body. A Short Lived Freedom. This era of freedom was short-lived, for the autocratic powers which dom inated Russia, and brought on by their excesses the present revolution, could not tolerate an autonomous government in Finland. Reaction aries in the duma demanded to know whether or not Russian authority ex tended to Finland. To this Stolypin replied in the characteristic language oi tne divine-right autocracies that the autonomy of Finland was not a right but a spontaneous gift of the czar, which could be withdrawn if it was misused. He said that Russian "interests" must be made to prevail in Finland. Milyukoff defended Finland's right to an autonomous government, but without success. In 1908 the czar again took all power away from the Finnish diet by a manifesto which provided that all Finnish questions iu ueiuie Liie Russian iiijuioiciia council. inis was a vio I lation of the Finnish constitution, but h?h.e"the s"eaker ot "e diet attacked ueimig speecn, tne diet was uissoivea. Since that date until the revolution broke out in Russia, the history of Finland has been that of a sullen, passive resistance on the part of the people to the process of Russianiza tion. In 1910 the czar issued another manifesto taking away from the diet the shreds of power that remained to it. The Finns protested in another petition which got no more attention than the first. The contributions of Finland to the military expenses of the Russian empire were more than doubled. The Finnish senate, which was appointed by the czar, became a mere tool of the Russian reactionaries. But no progress was made toward breaking the spirit of tho people. The Finns have been waiting patiently all the years since first their rights were taken away frotr them in 18.Vj for -a liberalization of th-a Russian govern ment which would enable them to re cover their autonomy. When the storm of revolt broke in Petrograd, no one thought of Finland a ir.ere atri.j of wilderness on the shores of the northern Baltic. But as current de velopments show, the Finns v-ere not slow to see their opportunity. Tired of Russian perfidy, they have apparently determined not to share in the for tunes of the "new Russia," but to set up a free Finland. The fate of this free Finland as of many other small nations depends upon the outcome of the war, and upon the sincerity of the great pow ers, nearly all of which have an nounced the "rights of small nations" as one of the things they are fighting for.

He Was mystified,, however, when d'Auber took some raw meat and rubbed it vigorously over the painted rabbit in the foreground. "Why on earth do you do that?" he asked. 'Well, you see," explained d'Auber. "Mrs. Millions is coming to see this picture today. When she sees her pet poodle smell that rabbit and get ex cited over it she'll buy it on the spot." A Washington man tells of a din ner at a hotel in that city at which were a number of gentlemen inter ested in various reforms. About the most conspicuous of these was a man who talked loudly against both vivi section and the eating of meat. He afforded great interest to a certain obscure physician. Toward the end of the dinner the latter leaned forward and said to the man first mentioned: "Pardon me, but am I to under stand that you are both an anti vivisectionist and vegetarian?" "Your understanding is correct." "Then," continued the doctor, "you will probably be greatly shocked to learn that you have just eaten a live caterpillar with your lettuce salad." With fear and trembling hn ap proached the doctor, "I know there's something wrong with my heart, doctor. I have a feeling that I'm not going to live verylong." "Nonsense! Give up smoking." "Never smoked in my life, doctor." "Well, stop drinking." "I am a total abstainer from alco holic drink." "Well, try going to bed earlier; get more sleep." "I'm always in bed by nine o'clock." "Oh, well, all I can say is, my dear sir, that I think you had better let nature take its course. You're alto gether too good for this world." ON SHJ1 THFE MOMIEOT BJ ROT K. MOIXTOS Satrhfied.

The Adventures of a Cynic I had a cold in the head and my friend knew it. "I have a small package that I would like to have you take home for me," said he when I met him in front of the hotel. Being of a very goatlike that is to say, gullible disposition and kind hearted withal, I acquiesced. It is a pleasant thing to do to acquiesce a hard thing to spell, but an easy thing to do. I supposed that my friend was obliged to stay down and I was will ing to help him out. I did not go directly home, but lingered down in the avenues of trade for a couple of hours. I noticed that everywhere I went people eyed me suspiciously and then quietly moved away from me. None of my most intimate friends seemed to have any desire to hold a confidential conversation with me I finally took the car for home. One by one the passengers looked at me, placed their handktrchiefs to their noses and moved to the forward end of the car. I soon had the rear end of the car to myself, excepting for the conductor. That conductor was a hero. He had to stay back there with me or lose his job. There were some sub-rosa remarks wnicn reacned me. and I gathered from them that I was an undesirable citizen of the most undesirable sort. I could not have passed inspection at Ellis Island. When I got off the car at my home street I was surprised to find my friend out in front of his house, sprinkling his lawn, and waiting for me. "Thanks for bringing home my lit tle package." said he. "I didn't want to bring it home myself, and knew that you had hay fever and would never notice it." "What's in it?" I demanded. "Some fine old limburger cheese he replied.

Perhaps the single affliction of being dumb without being deaf is not a rare one but in Washington on the Sunday that this advertisement appeared in the local papers women so handicapped were not numerous. Or if they were they were not stenog raphers in search of a job. Of the half dozen dumb applicants there was but one whose hearing was keen enough and whose stenography was good enough to justify the congress man's young-man secretary who sized them up when they came to the office in referring her to the con gressman himself. That was Mardy Mapes and she was not entirely what the congressman asked for in the ad vertisement. She admitted to the secretary in writing, on the small tablet of paper that she carried around with her. that she was under thirty, and any one could have told at a glance that she wasn't even twenty five. "However," she wrote to the congressman when he objected to her on the score of her extreme youth fulness, "I am old in my ways and I can look much older if I dress in plain dark clothes." The congressman frowned at her to show his disapprove! but consoled himself with the thought that if he kept her in his employ long enough she would eventually reach a suitable age. On general principle, it seemed. Congressman Pragg had an objection to young women. Some people whis pered that this was because of some early disappointment in love but those who knew him better knew that in the congressman's up hill climb from a poor farmer's boy to the leading man of his state there had been no time for flirtation or love making. "You may consider yourself em ployed," said the congressman and the smiles that came over Mardy's face showed that she heard perfectly in spite of her total dumbness. "Now I want to explain why I want a dumb stenographer. I have had several wo men in my employ good stenogra phers they were too but they drove me almost crazy with their incessant babbling. When they weren't chat ting with my secretary out there they were talking over the telephone to the girl down stairs at the switch-board or arranging with the people at the suf frage headquarters to make street cor ner speeches on such and such a night. And after hours they babbled to their friends all my business or tried to re tail inside political information to their soap-box audiences. Washing ton is nothing but a village in lots of ways and people soon get to know that Miss So and So is working for Con gressman Thus-and-so and the first thing I'd know people would be telling me over at the Capitol more about my own business than I knew myself. These women didn't do it maliciously, you understand, but they were so fond of hearing themselves speak that they couldn't help it. That is why I wanted a dumb stenographer. Your youth fulness is against you but I don't suppose I can do any better never mind the references you look honest and my secretary says your stenogra- pny is more than fair. Report here tomorrow morning at half past nine." Although the ambitious young man from the congressman's home town had the distinction of being his secre tary Miss Mapes soon did practically all the work that is usually connected with the post and the young man in question occupied his time largely with meeting the congressman's call ers, mixing with people whom the con gressman might find it useful to know, in hotel lobbies, club rooms or wherever he might contrive to find them, and making hurried trips back and forth from various of the con gressman's constituents to Washing ton. Mardy Mapes seemed not to have a responsibility or a tie in the world at least in Washington outside of the congressman's office. She boarded somewnere over in tne northeast an indefinite section so far as the con gressman was concerned and "trol lied" back and forth from there to the congressman's office in the hotel where he lived near the White House. She never worked "over" time be cause all her time presumably was possible office time. And if she stayed in the congressman's office till mid night taking down notes for an im portant speech that he was to de liver, or listening critically to him as he rehearsed such a speech to her. tongues in the hotel never wagged to her discredit because of it. Perhaps this was because poor Mardy's own tongue itself was incapable of wag ging. She was pretty and she was young but her dumbness and her very somber and demure mode of dressing were a protection against slander or less malicious gossip. More than if Mardy had expressed herself in words did the congressman make a habit of studying her face, and before many months had passed there was need for very little tablet writing in their conversation. He could detect in the most minute varia tion of expression her meaning and this constant studying of her face came to be as much a pleasure to him as anything else that made -up his busy days. Then as spring came on the con gressman became more than ordinar ily pensive. Even at the capitol it was commented on that Pragg had some cause of worry and Mardy's most in quiring and sympathetic look of en treaty did not draw his secret from his lips. One day when Mardy arrived in the morning she found the congressman already at his desk something en tirely unprecedented and Mardy seemed to know when the first caught his giance that at last the time had come for her to know his secret care. "I have somethings to tell you." he began abruptly, not looking at her tho he usually studied her face with such keen interest. 'I have secured the services of one of the greatest of throat specialists Doctor Spiggen heim perhaps you have heard of him. He is coming down to Wash ington as a special concession. He'll be here this morning. I want him to examine your vocal cords, and see if something cannot be done for them. He says it is a marvelous case that your dumbness hasn't affected your hearing or any of your other senses." Had the congressman been watch ing Mardy's face then he might have seen that she started and then turned perceptibly paler. She made no writ ten reply or acknowledgment of her gratitude to her would-be benefactor and they were both uncommunicative f jr the rest of the morning. At Mardy's ritten request she saw the great specialist alone and then the specialist saw the congressman alone and then the congressman, having handed the specialist his thousand dollar fee, saw Mardy alone. The congressua a looked pensive "I AM WITH YOU IF and grave. Very tenderly and, trying to conceal his own disappointment, he told Mardy of the specialist's verdict that strangely enough Mardy's speechlessness was uncurable. This time the congret 3man studied Mardy's face buK it showed nothing save a studied immobility. 1 They both tried to go back to the work of the day but unsuccessfully, and then the congressman broke the silence. "I'll have to tell you what is worrying me and torturing me," he said. "I'll tell you and then you can decide what w ught to do. Mardy, I want to marry you. I had never thought of marrying before and I don't want to make you my wife unless it is going to make you hap pier. I am tortured with the doubt whether your infirmity wouldn't be such a handicap in your life as my wife, with all the social duties that it would be bound to bring you, that we" would both be unhappy because of it. I had hoped Spiggenheim would be able to hold out hope, but he tells me there is none. Mardy, what shall I do?" j There was a pause-and then In a soft voice Mardy answered his ques tion. "Forgive me." Then she went on talking rapidly and fluently and the congressman hung upon each word as if hearing a woman talk had always been the joy of his life. "I came to Washington, hoping to get a position in one of the departments, but others more influential crowded mo out. Then I saw your advertise ment. My funds were exhausted and I couldn't go home .and tell the family I had lost out. I had promised to send home part of my salary and well, I pretended I was dumb and every one in Washington thinks I am. I have never spoken to any one, tho I do talk to myself in my room at nJght so's not to forget how. Then when you spoke of Spiggenheim I thought you suspected me and would despise me if you thought I really could talk. So well, I told Spiggenheim the truth and promised him a -hundred dollars all. my savings if he would tell you the case was hopeless." The congressman sat back in his desk chair and let out a hearty laugh that showed that his melancholy had been forever dispelled and for the first time he heard the contagious tones of Mardy's laugh which she had I been suppressing for months Kjne tnousana, one hundred dol lars," he reflected. "Well it was worth that ten times over and a hundred times over if I had it. I never thought it would take a throat specialist to cure me of a life long meiancnoty ror, Alardy, I have nevei been completely happy in my life until this minute." (Coovrieht. 1917.

Kate Finds Marriage Ijess Terrible Than She Thought. New York Monday, the 10th. Dear Old May: Blessed, say I, is the person who doesn't take things too seriously. Work or marriage or life itself. Make a stab at what you want. Go at it vigorously. But don't think it out too much. Just live in the present min ute, doing the best you can with it and trust to Providence for the rest. You know there is a special Provi dence that watches over children and drunken men. and keens them from eing too badly hurt when they fall? Well, put faith in u and in the meantime keep hustling! You'll come out justr as well pr better than the person who plans and contrives so carefully and "watches his step" with such anxiety. This elaborate prelude, dear, is just by way of announcing that I am enthusiastically happy. When I never expected to be. It's too soon to brag, of course, for we've only bien married six weeks. Still lots of unpleasant not to say tragic things have happened to girls 1 know be fore they'd been mtrried that long. Remember Carol and Sammi Chase, who came back from their honeymoon vowing they didn't want to see each other for a year? They were that bored and weary. And both the Garrett girls how awful their matrimonial ventures turned out? Whatever do you suppose hap pened tc Fanny Garrett that she should have gone straight back to har mother s house, vowing she'd never live under her husband's roof again? And poor Allie. who had to pay half the expenses of the wedding trip ana grapple with the hideous problem of a drinking husband? Oh, Maizie, when I look about at tne marriages I know! Perhaps I am peculiarly unfortunate in my friends' marriages Paul says I am. He says it isn't safe for anybody I know to marry; they all turn out badly sooner or later, usually sooner. I could write a book, "Taken From Life, or Twelve Kinds of Unsuccessful Marriages." And yet I (now, mind you, I'm not boastmg; I'm knocking on wood as I write it), who just shut mv eves and plunged in, fearing to be dashed to pieces on the rocks, find myself float ing peacefully on the crest of a wave, stimulated and eager for the long swim. s It is entirely Paul. Married to a different kind of man, I would be a fiend, a devil or else a sullen, brood ing old grouch. Instead of shudder ing at my faults and trying to cut them out of me, as C. J. used to do, Paul actually explains how they can be utilized and made into virtues! Or, rather, he does not see them as faults. It is true, you know, dear, that any fault is simply a virtue pushed too far. Take slowness, for instance, the thing that makes me mtst furious about Pau.:. He, does things o delib erately that sometimes I think I shall kill him. But by the same token, his judgment is superb. He never thinks rashly or acts impulsively, as I do, and spend half his time undoing what he has done wrong. And when I do some fool thing "on the snap," and am instantly sorry for it, Paul points out that it is a proof of "intense reac tions" or the result of "marvelous nervous energy," which he regards as a precious gift! Now, what are you going to do about a husband who actually ad mires your faults? Honestly, May. he sees virtue in me that I or anybody else can't see. It only goes to show that marriage is all a matter of luck. A man is a good husband or a bad one, according to the type of man he is. not the type of woman you are Adios. my dear, I'll spare you further panegyrics for the time. Lovingly ever, KAT.

The American National Red Cross building In Washington is one of the show places of the nation's capital. It is one of the few, the very few, active war bureaus housed amid splen dor, pomp and luxury. The commit tee on public Information functions in an old converted residence; the hosts of the food administration toil at their desks In the thousand little rooms of a very old converted hotel, where the visitor wanders bewildered in a Hffrnpton maze of curious cor ridors: but the Red Cross lives in a marble palace with velvet draperies, high frescoed ceilings and flocks of rubber-heeled secretaries and office boys. It should be stated at once that the marble palace of the Red Cross wa.i planned and practically built before the war. As It happened, the enormous expansion of duties of the organ ization and the completion of its new building almost coincided, but when the actual work of raising the money and quarrying the stone for the proud white structure was going on, the present emergency was not even a cloud on the horizon. However, Red Cross office etiquette seems to have been subtly influenced by the Oriental splendors in which it dwells. Almost in front of the double glass entrance runs a prohibitory rail ing, with one small apertur barred by a small boy and a large rope. Here the visitor must halt, whoever he may be, while the small boy cross-examines him and notes certain cogent facts on a printed form. The said form is conveyed to a brisk young lady at a telephone, who proceeds to convey the information thereon to hidden parties who may be interested in the visitor's business. If the auspices are favorable, the small boy yields and the big rope drops; the visitor is turned over to yet another boy who leads him up a wide marble staircase, under huge chandeliers of prismatic glass, to sanctums above. If the intruder is sufficiently glib and enduring to pass outer guards and private secretaries, he mny see some very brisk and capa ble gentlemen in high authority, trans act his business and depart. In any event, he will leave feeling as tho he had vlsitod something between the private office of John D. Rockefeller and a church. Heart and Beauty if rroblems IV MBH.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBFR 21. 1917 IN SERVjGE FLAGS Topeka Aroused to Xew Form of Army Recognition. Banners With Stars for Men Who Have Gone to War. FOR BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS Churches and Schools, Also, Adopt the Service Pride. Scores of Family Flags Are Dis played Over the City. Mr. Business Man: Are you honor ing employes now in the nation's service? Sure you are. Undoubtedly you have all the respect in the world for these men who have left their life work, their families and their homes to take up arms against autocracy. And now, thru a national wide policy adopted by institutions in scores of cities, employers are afforded a chance to display to the world their pride in these young men. Thruout the cities of the east, and on the coast, business institutions are displaying what are known as military service flags. These banners are com prised of a wide red border with a white field In the center. In the white center are just as many stars as the institution has furnished men to the army or navy. Topeka institutions are taking up this observance of respect for their men in military service. Several churches, including the First Presby teria n. and business establishments, including the Topeka State Journal, have ordered the emblems and short ly they will appear. The Alpha Delta fraternity at Washburn has also or dered one of the banners. It will con tain scores of stars. For Families, Also. The service flags are also for resi dence use. Any family that has a I memoei m ua-nip ur in toreign service has the right to display the emblem with the appropriate number of stars in the white center. The regulation size of the residence flags are 36x24 inches. The white field in the center is 22x11 inches. The blue stars de noting the number of members the displayers have in military service are four inches across. For institutional use the flag is FOR Between the hours of 10 o'clock and noon, Thursday, November 29, the automobiles of the Scottish Rite Bodies will begin the collec tion of used footwear (shoes) to be assembled and forwarded for the relief of French and Belgian peasants. Persons desiring to aid in this work will render assistance by having the shoes accurately paired, and securely tied to gether (wired if possible), and placed upon the porch of the residence on Thanksgiving morn ing. Our, automobiles will visit every street in the city between the hours above given. If it is desired to donate shoes prior to the day of collection, they may be left at the Masonic Temple with the Secretary of the Scottish Rite Bodies. There will be but one collection. Al though not required, it would be appreciated if the donated footwear be in good repair. WILLIAM A. TINKER, General Chairman simply enlarged proportionately in or der to provide for the number of stars inserted. In the last few days the flags have appeared in windows of several To peka residences. This number will undoubtedly be increased rapidly. It will remain for the business, religious, fraternal and other institutions to take the matter up and every institu tion should do so. It is a .badge of honor for the institution and it un doubtedly will make the Sammies for which stars are inserted feel heart ened and encouraged when they learn the "boss" at home is so proud of them. The State Journal's service flag will contain a dozen or more stars,, the institution having furnished that many men to the cause of democracy. 6 OR 8-TEAM LEAGUE?

A REGIMENT EVERY 24 HOURS This Will Be Capacity Turnout In a Few Months. BelieTed to Be Best Arm of Its Kind In the World. Washington. Nov. 21. Within the next two months a chain of mammoth factories, working night and day, -will be turning out enough new military rifles every twenty-four hours to equip an entire regiment of United States soldiers. The weapon will be known as the United States rifle, model of 1917. From the standpoint of the trench fighter it is believed to be the best arm of its kind in the world. It is the rifle with which the million young men chosen by conscription to form the national army will march against the German. When war was declared with Ger many the United States government was confronted with the stupendous problem of furnishing an enormous army with modern high power mili tary rifles in the shortest possible time. The Springfield, model of 1903, with which the regular army, navy and national guard were armed, has long been admittedly the finest all around military rifle in the world. And altho the war department would have preferred to arm our entire forces with the Springfield, it became at once apparent that the output of the Springfield and Rock Island ar senals, where the service rifle is made, would be inadequate. To have installed the necessary ma chinery for ths enormously increased output demanded would have caused at least a year of delay, for the me chanical precision necessary in a modern military rifle requires, literal ly, thousands of accurate tools. Take Over Machinery. So it was in such a crisis that the government decided to take over the tools and machinery, already installed in three of the largest gunmaking es tablishments in the United States for the manufacture of arms for the allies, and with them produce a weapon based upon the British military rifle, model of 1914, which was being man ufactured there. Therefore, the United States gov ernment, in taking over the factories manufacturing the British rifle, deter mined to so alter the English weapon that it would shoot the ammunition manufactured for the United States Springfield. In this way a weapon combining the best points of both types would be obtained. The United States rifle, model of 1917, built along the British lines, but shooting the Springfield cartridge, is the result Kill a Hun at Three Miles. The United States rifle shoots five times with one loading. It sends a bullet of lead, covered with a jacket of cupro-nickel. from the barrel at a rate slightly greater than 2,700 feet a second. Carefully aimed shots can be made to hit a target 1,600 yards away, but the bullet retains sufficient force to kill a human being at a dis tance of nearly three miles from the muzzle of the ;ifle. The weapon is strong enough to resist a pressure of 62,000 pounds on every square inch of surface in the chamber where the cartridge rests In the breach. The rifle is 46.3 inches from butt plate to muzzl Equipped with a bayonet it weighs ten pounds and tight ounces. The stock Is made with what is known as a "pistol grip," which not only gives a steadier hold while shooting, but provides an ex cellent grip when the weapon is used in bayonet fighting. Receiver Peep Sight. The sighting equipment is what is' known as a "receiver peep sight," which means that the rear sight is set back on the receiver of the gun as near as possible to the rifleman's eye, which results in making careful aim much easier, since the shooter has simply to look thru an aperture about one-tenth of an inch in diameter in the sight proper, place the front sight on the object at which he is aiming and pull the trigger. Bullets, even when propelled with sufficient force to carry them nearly three miles, are still subject to the laws of gravity. The moment a bullet leaves a barrel of the Springfield type gravity begins to draw it toward the earth at a rate of sixteen feet during. the first second, forty-eight feet dur ing the second second and so on in ratio. In order to adjust that, when the rifle is held normally the line of the barrel is at such an angle that a bullet sent to the 2.800-yard range, the maximum sighting distance, de scribes an arc which at its greatest height is 397 feet. Another force which acts upon the bullet is known as "drift," which means a deviation- to right or left, caused by the twisted grooves in the barrel known as rifling. At 2,800 yards this "drift" is about thirty-five feet. A third force which is always exerted is wind. A wind of but a mile an hour, which is hardly more than a zephyr, if blowing at right angles to the line of the bullet at the extreme sighting range of 2,800 yards, will de flect the bullet seven and a half feet. Such obstacles as these must be overcome, so that when the soldier sets his sights according to rule for any given range his bullet, if properly aimed, will reach the target truly, un affected by any of these forces.

Messengers from Chief Thunder bearer have arrived in Topeka and de livered the message of the Council of Tribes, an Indian organization of 28, 000 members, to the people of the city from points of vantage on Kan sas avenue. Chief Mexes and his wife, the Princess Lone Feather, called on the governor and on Mayor House for the purpose of obtaining permission to speak on the streets. In an interview Chief Mexes declared that at no point on their Journey have they received more courteous or con siderate treatment than that accorded them by the mayor and the people of the cltv of Topeka. The Indians car ried credentials from the executive secretary of the National Kea uross society, of which body they are mem bers at large. Far to the east in the land of the rising sun in a great white city was the Council of the Tribes, gathered i together from the uttermost bounds of the land. And the members of the council were chieftains among their people, but the greatest among them was Thunderbearer, cTiief of the Sacs and Foxes, and High Chief of the Tribes. Now were the chiefs gath ered about the council fires to discuss a great war and the righteousness thereof, and many questions were asked the great chief, so that he went forth from the council lodge, and the great Spirit, Gitche Manito, the Mighty, vouchsafed him clear vi sion that he might order his people wisely and well. And this is the mes sage of Gitche Manito, the Mighty, as revealed to the Sachem of the Tribes for dissemination among the peoples of Indian iood: Know now that here is the an swer to your many questions with re gard to the events now in process of execution and our part therein. Does one of my sons ask the right and the wrong of this great evil? Have I not created you all with wis dom and given you eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts of compassion to feel for your fellows? The leaves of the trees and the blades of grass never infringe upon the rights of their neighbor, nor shall man do so longer. And I charge my people in this wise: rather t:ian serve a master who listens not to cu: voice, it were bet ter to die under the stars; letting our blood flow in a ciirrifeon stream; that the pure white stripe of brotherly love, aignity and eternal peace be in stituted for the benefit of future gen erations. And I lay upon my people these four things which they are to do: Let every American Indian, in whole or in part, protect every act of the governments opposed to the kaiser. Inform the department of justice of any genuinely suspicious act or utter ance. Protect the interests of every sol dier whether he be here or abroad. Permit no utterance or act against either our father, the president of the United States, or his majesty. King George V., for the destiny of democ racy, the preservation and dignity of the governments of the American con tinent rest upon the executive ability of these men. And this is the message of Gitche Manito to his people, revealed to Og hema Niagara. Chief Thunderwater. Tehotiokwawakon of the Tribes, and disseminated among the people of To peka by Mexes, the Mescalero Apache and his wife Lone Feather, the Pass amaquaty. And as a symbol of their mission these emissaries bear a sym bol of liberty, unfurled and unencased and surmounted by the War Eagle of the nation. $2,550 FOR A HORSE That's Top Price Paid at Auction of Race Horses In Xcw York.

EYE ON DECISION Other Stamp Companies Watching S. II. Case Here. Whether the anti-trading stamp law which knocked the Sperry A Hutch inson people out of Kar.sas will have a similar effect on other stamp com panies will be determined in a test case. Information has reached Rob ert D. Garver, county attorney, that the Surety Coupon company, repre sented by Ferry Doran in Topeka, is awaiting the withdrawal of a restrain ing order, making prosecution impos sible, to iave a representative of the company arrested and a test case opened. This company has been operating in Topeka, thru Paxton Paxton and other firms. The Paxton-& Paxton people have stopped issuing coupons, or stamps, pending a decision by the court as to whether the anti-trading stamp law affects them. v A restraining order has been issued by the court making prosecution for noncompliance with -the stamp law impossible. That order was issued for the purpose of making further le gal entanglement impossible while the case was under consideration by the supreme court, Garver has filed a motion asking that the restraining order be set aside. If the order is set aside, the stamp people plan to start proceedings that will end in their prosecution and a decision as to whether the law includes them. These coupons issued by the Surety Coupon company to local merchants and given by the merchants to the customers differ somewhat from the stamps, of the Sperry Hutchinson people. They are redeemable in mer chandise at their face value at the stores, according to Garver's under standing, or a cash payment will be made. If the merchandise value of the coupons is $2.50, the cuitomer may receive $2.25 in cash. Coupons received in one store may be redeemed in another. The stamps issued toy the firms following the Sperry Hutchinson scheme were redeemed by the stamp firm in parlors rented from .Crosby Brothers.

The marriage of Miss Charlotte Endlich and Mr. David J August took Place Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Endlich, of Fillmore street. The service was read by Rabbi I-ouis Bern stein of St. Joseph, Mo. The bride's sisters. Miss Lillian Endlich and Miss Blanche Endlich, attended her, and her brother, Mr. Harry Endlich, was Mr. August's best man. After the marriage a wedding sup per was served in the private dining room of the Throop hotel. The bride's gown was a tailored suit of dull blue cloth with blacTt velvet hat timmed in aigrettes. She wore a corsage bouquet of orchids and lilies of the valley. Miss Lillian Endlich was gowned in a gray afternoon costume (Formerly $37.50 to $50.00) with bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley. Miss -Blanche Endlich wore a gown of blue cloth with corsage bouquet of yellow roses. The decorations for the "Endlich home were palms, roses and chrysan themums. At one end of the living room was an altar banked with flow ers and greenery, and the pathway leading to it was bordered with tall vases tied with pink tulle and filled with white chrysanthemums. The din ing table was strewn with roses and smilax, and the centerpiece was art electric fountain wreathed in white mums and pink-roses. After a wedding trip to California,' Mr. and Mrs. August will return to' Topeka and will be at home after De- cember 20, at the Throop hotel. i Out of town guests at the wedding were: Mr. August's sisters, Mrs. M. D. Bear and Mrs. H. Mendelssohn of New j York city, and his brother, Mr. Albert j J. August of St. Joseph, Mo. j t The Topeka branch of. the wari work council, the chairman of which j is Mrs. Paul Walker, announces that j its campaign will close tonight at 6 o'clock, and every cent of the ten thou- sand dollars apportioned to this branch of the organization, will have been subscribed. j The committee which has made the campaign is a small one in numbers, but certainly enthusiastic and efficient enoiigh to make up for numbers, when t it is considered that, the amount has been raised in an extraordinarily short time and with almost ho publicity at all. Before anyone knew what had happened, six thousand dollars had been given to the fund, and the re- j maining four thousand was raised in; the tame quick and quiet way. I Oh, our town can give all right when she is interested, but there is nothing like knowing the proper ave nues of approach for shy little old To peka.

If you have already begun racking your "brain, gracious reader, to think of some gift to send a beloved man for Christmas, here are some suggestions. Presupposing, of course, that he is in some training camp, it is no wonder you are up a tree as to the gift. First, there is a camp chair. It has a can vas back, stout wooden arms and big enough for a man of average size to occupy in moderate comfort. It folds compactly and doesn't weigh heavy, j and it is not awfully expensive. j Another thing you can buy is an unbreakable thermos bottle, made of porcelain instead of glass. It is handy to have about a tent to keep coffee hot at night. The wrist watch has come to be indispensable to the soldiers, and as it no longer brands a man as "sissy, any soldier would be glad to have one. if he isn't already provided. I notice that some of the men wear their watches on the inside of the wrist in stead of on the back. That may be the method that redeems it from ef- j feminacy. j Homemade jam and cake are about as acceptable as anything the men can get, except, of course, tobacco, for which they probably won't insist upon waiting till Christmas. Mrs. R. Hargreaves will entertain Friday afternoon at her home, 1615 Harrison street, for her daughter, Mrs. May Sherman, who is leaving soon to make her home in Mexico, and for Mrs. Fred Woodbury, of Oli vet, Kan., who is visiting Topeka friends. The guests will be the mem bers of the Mothers' C- E. society of the First Congregational church: of which Mrs. Woodbury was formerly 1 a member, and there will be a few other friends also as guests. 1 I To the music department of the Woman's club belongs the honor of j striving, in the midst of war and want, to keep alive in the public mind an interest in musical art. They gave, without charge, a concert Tuesday night to which everyone who wished to come was invited. A program, representing some of the best things in the new and older c'assics, was presented by a quartet of singers, who are Mrs. George W. Park hurst, Mrs. Horace Whitehouse, Mr. Hugh Dickerson and Mr. Glen wood Jones. The first part of the program was a cantata. "The Morning of the Year." by Cadman. This composition, which is one of Cadman's newest works, was given in Topeka last season, and was so well received at that time that numerous requests were made to have it repeated. The number was given foe the second time in Yopeka last i night. It is mad? up of solos, duets and quartets, and contains many love- ly passages. The remainder of the program was as follows: Cavatina from 1'jinst Guonod Mr. Joues Mon four Iouvre a ta voix fmm Snmou et Ielilah Saint-Saonn Mrs. Whitehouse IvOve Inet from Murium Butterfly Puccini Mrs. Pnrkhurst.

Wltli Ap- proval From Over State. j Airs. Lilla Day Monroe is not with- I Jout an army of supporters in her 'stand in-the State Journal for tobacco for men in the United States army. From all'sections of Topeka and from over the strfte have come letters and telephone calls congratulating the To peka woman on ner stand. Last week Airs. Monroe declared two West Vir ginia ministers, who journeyed to To peka to oppose the tobacco campaign, were unknowingly boosting the Kai ser's own game. It was a St. Alarys woman who to day gave Airs. Alonroe the greatest support in her denunciation of the silly reforms aand uplifts led by the Wc-st Virginia missionaries. In the letter to Mrs. Alonroe, the St. Alarys woman said she was not at all im pressed with the plea -of the West Vir ginians and some Kansans for high and saintly ideals for the soldiers, i And the St. Alaiys woman has four sons in the service, too. That isn't all. Each of the four boys smokes cig- i arettes, cigars and pipes. Further, the St. Marys mother challenges the world to match a few hot house, home grown j anti-cigarette models against her of- j fering to the national government. i "One of these sons is a doctor and j in the- medical corps, the woman wrote to me," said Airs. Monroe. "An- i other son is a graduate of the state university school of law. A third son I is a cadet at West Point and the I fourth son is -in the medical rserve corps. It isn't a really bad shoving for one family, do you think? And how shocked tome reformer must be to know that the mother of these stnl- j wart, fighting sons really admits her son mokp the vile cigarettes and declares she doesn't think iX, hurts them." NO RUBBERSTAMPS Provisions on Back o,f Coal Bills of Lading Invalid Now. Rubber stamp clauses, statements and provisions on the back of bills of lading of coal shipments, are invalid. That was the notice which Harry A. GarfieT" federal fuel administrator, this week to Emerson Carey, of Hutchinson, state administrator. According to the announcement of Garfield, the rubber stamp provisions on bills of lading will not be consid- 1 stStK ered by the government in the fixing of prices or distribution of supplies. The order especially affects Colorado producers who us-ed rubber stamps on the backs of bills of lading, providing for the sale of coal at prices above those established by Garfield. The federal fuel administrator declared in j his telegram to Carey that no author- ity would be given to increase prices above the government scale. The order will .stand, he declared, in spite of the complaints of numerous deal- i ers to the effect that they could not handle the coal at a profit. 1 REDUCED PRICES NOW PREVAIL COME HERE TOMORROW COATS Here you will find the kind of coat that will meet with your approval.

Will Introduce Bill in Congress at December Session. Hyron, 111., Nov. 21. When Sammy distinguishes himself by some typical ly American feat of enterprise or bravery 'over there." he is coins to receive some recoenition more sub HUintiiil than his comrades "attaboy." That is the determination of Medill McCnrmick, congressman from Illi nois, who said today that he intended to introduce in the next congress a bill providing medals for soldiers and sai lor. who perform gallantly in action. McC'ormick will propose three clnsset of decoration a medal for ilistineuished gallantry," one for "irallantry" and a regimental decora tion for "distinguished conduct." The latter probably would be a silk cord to be worn on the. breast of each member of a unit that performed some unusual feat of bravery. McCormick said he would suggest that the major medal to be provided for in hi! proposed bill should be awarded by the war department, on the recommendation of the colonel, within a week after it was earned. The minor medal, he said, should be awarded by the brigade commander, on recommendation of the colonel or major, within a day or two. McCormick is at his country home here.

Where a sectloa of the statute la re enacted as sn Incident to Its smeidment la certain particulars the portions thereof which remain unchanged are to be given ttoe same Interpretation they had previously received excepting as a different meanijuf Is iudicsted by the changes made. 3. Althongh the decision of i-Jbis court that the poll fax law of 1911 did not apply to cities of the first class was to some ex tent influenced by language used in anothir statute na-ted st the same seislon, the "real of such other statute did not change the interpretation of thi poll ti.x law la that regard. w 4.

Rumors Favor Ilim as Succes sor to Dr. II. J. Waters. HE HAS BUILT UP SCHOOL Northwestern Kansas Institu tion Under His Direction. Appointment Will He 3Iade the First of the Year. Dr. W. A. Lewis, president of the Hays state normal, is beins urped as a successor to Dr. Henry J. Waters, who recently resiEmed as president of the state agricultural college at Man hattan. Numerous letters urging the appointment of Dr. Lewis have been received by Governor Capper. Appointment of a successor to Dr. Waters may be made sometime in the next two months. The appointment will be announced by the state board of administration of which Governor Tapper is ex-officio chairman. Since the personnel of the state board was j named by Governor Capper, there is little doubt that he will direct the selection of Dr. Waters' successor. Maurice MacAuliffe, head of the Tvansas state grange, and other well known Kansans are behind the move ment to secure, if possible, the ap pointment of Dr. Lewis. Many strong letters have been received from west ern Kansas men and it is believed the appointment of the Hays normal head is receiving serious consideration. Several men have been mentioned as successors to Dr. Waters, but if pos Constipation Makes Baby Uncomfortable When its tender little organs are bound up with a congestion of Btoinach waste in the bowels. Baby is a miphty uncomf ortabie morsel of humanity, and reflects its dis comfort in its disposition. If Mother will just give it a tiny dose of a mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the congestion will quickly loosen and be expelled, and her child be nor mal and happv once more. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is especially desirable for children, because it contains no opiate or narcotic drug, being a combination of simple laxative herbs with pep sin, mild and gentle in action, positive in effect, and very palata ble. Children like It and take it readily. Druggists sell Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents a bottle; a trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Charles F. Scott of Iola and other men have been, urged for the place. Scott, however, has stated he is not a candidate for the appoint ment. Much of the credit for putting the Hays state normal on the map is due to Dr. Lewis. During the time he has been at the head of the west ern normal school, it has grown be yond the dreams of the men who or iginally boosted for its creation. The school is now at the top rank with state educational institutions and Dr. Lewis' personal efforts are regarded as largely responsible for the develop ment. Since last spring Dr. Waters has been able to give but little time to the work of the state1 agricultural college. During the summer months he was in the work for the national council of defence. He was later appointed food administrator for Kansas tind personal representative for Herbert Hoover in this state. Recently he re signed to become editor of the Kan sas City Weekly Star. That Dr. Lewis is to be considered as a probable successor to Dr. Waters was apparent in state house circles today. While the Hays normal presi dent has not sought the appointment and is not regarded as an active candi date for the place, his strong endorse ments and his excellent record at the Hays normal, both during the Capper and Hodges administrations, make him a decided factor among the men considered for the high educational office. REDOUBLE WAR EFFORT New French Premier Outlines Strong Pro-War Policy. Paris, Nov. 21. Unremitting, re doubled and supreme energy in war is the platform which Premier Clemen ceau of France announced as that of the new French ministry today. He made his maiden speech as successor to Professor Painleve as premier in the chamber of deputies. "Our only thought must be of the army," the new premier declared. "All zones must be like war zones. "The government pledges itself that all traitors will be punished without pity. Regardless of the standing of those who may be accused, the gov ernment pledges they will be court martialed. Peace propaganda will be rigorously suppressed and the censor ship of France limited to purely dip lomatic and military information. "The food restrictions now in effect are for all, it is necessary therefore that they must be obeyed by all. "We must emulate the example of America, of Britain, of Italy and all be united to prepare for the day of victory. "We announce a redoubled effort in the conduct ofHhe war."

Kansas Report Shows Progress of Modern Farmer. BIG SCARCITY OF LABOR High Wages, Also, Tend to Drive Farmer to Gasoline. Central Third of State Has Large Tractor Population. The tractor "population" of Kansas was 4,504 on March 1, according to a report issued here today by J. C. Mohler. secretary of the state board of agriculture.' This is an increase of 14.5 per cent over the number in the state last year, when Kansas farmers owned 3,93 2 of these machines. The report is based on a compilation of assessors' certified returns to the board. Commenting on the fact that the war has, to date, taken 25,000 young Kansans from the Tanks of industry. Secretary Mohler points out that "in these days of high wages and scarcity of labor, farmers are finding the tractor an increasingly important ally in profitable farm management." He adds that the more extensive use of mechanical power orr the farm Is to a certain extent making good the draft that the government has made on the labor supply. "The world expects maximum pro ductions of food crops in Kansas," continues the report, "and thru con scripting the tractors the possibilities of realizing such expectations are en larged. "Even before the war, the Kansas farmer was taking keen interest in the tractor, as shown by the official enumeration. The first census was made in 1916, when 2,493 tractors were reported Two years later an increase of 80 per cent is shown. Ellis county in that period gained al most 1,050 per cent, reporting this year 131 machines. McPherson county shows an increase of 104, Pawnee 91, and Reno 74.

Eastern Kan sas, with 39 counties, is becoming more and more interested In this new labor-saving device, now having In use 1,777 machines. "In connection with the distribu tion of tractors it is interesting to note that all counties having 100 or more are located in the central third of the state, and comprising the major portion of the great wheat belt, Mc Pherson leading with 14S tractors, followed in order by Reno with 138, Ellis with 136, Pawnee with 123. Rush with 11, Barton with 110, Sedgwick with 109 and Sumner with 104. All counties report tractors, those having the smallest numbers being located in the southwestern part.
