The total report for the day's campaign was $18,965.40. Tomorrow the women's teams will be gin their campaign of the residences. "But just because the 1918 campaign is showing more rapid progress than the 1917 campaign did is no reason for the subscribers or rather the would be subscribers to begin to think of cut ting down their subscriptions," Cam paign Manager D. W. Mulvane said, when some of the team captains com plained that men who should contrib ute more than $100 were cutting their subscriptions to $25 or $50. "At no time in the history of the war has the work of the Red Cross been so close to our own firesides and our own kith and kin and seeing that this is so it seems to me that men who gave a L contribution of $100 to the 1917 cam paign would be ashamed to offer less than that amount in the 1918 cam pagn." Get Credit in Next Drive. At the meeting this noon, S. K. Cobb, divisional committeeman for Kansas, explained that "every dollar of over subscription on the county quotas is counted up at the Red Cross head quarters and is used as a basis for cut ting down the quota of that particu lar county in tne next arive.

"I ran across one man this morning who flatly refused to contribute to the Red Cross war fund," asserted A. A. Rogers, captain of one of the teams this morning, "and this man is the manager of one of the big drug stores of the city. It has also been learned that this young man has made a practice of cutting all clippings from the newspapers which could possibly be construed as criticisms of the Red Cross or stories of the tales that have gone around about the alleged misuse of funds and materials subscribed for the Red Cross."

S. E. Cobb Congratulated by District Chairman. In addition to being: the first state in the southwestern district to exceed I its Red Cross quota, Kansas is one i of the first four in the country to "BO over" in the national war fund drive. A telegram from J. L. Johnson, southwestern divisional chairman, stating that Kansas officially beat the other four states in the district to the goal was received today by S. E. Cobb, state chairman. Johnson heartily congratulated Cobb on the splendid showing made. A tele- gram of congratulation also came from L. Ray Carter, state chairman for Mis- souri. Now Cobb is waiting for ad- vice (rom Wasnington as t? whether Kansas was the first of the four states that exceeded their quotas the second day ot the drive. Fifty Counties Over Goal. Cobb today asserted that two-thirJs of the counties in Kansas have ex ceeded their quotas individually. At the close of the second day about EiO counties had passed their goal. "Division No. 1 is running away with itself and exceeded its quota the second day," said a telegram received this morning from J. Luther Taylor, committeeman for the eight counties that have headquarters at Pittsburg. The Kansas quota in the drive this week is $1,584,000. "With the quota officially report ed oversubscribed. I expect the state to go to $2,500,000," said Cobb today. The state chairman cited the telegram from Johnson which in addition to announcing the state oversubscribed and congratulating the Kansas chair man, said, "Don't let them stop. The Red Cross needs the money." Off to 10 Millions. At noon today Chairman J.

Artillery fighting of the most violent character occurred last night on the front southeast of Amiens, the war office announces. Heavy artillery fighting took place also on the southern part of the battle front, in the neighborhood of Plemont, west of Noyon. London, May 22. In the sector southeast of Arras, German trenches were entered at two points last night by British raiding parties, says today's official announcement. Prisoners and a machine gun were taken. On the Flanders front the Germans carried out s heavy gas bombardment of the sector to the northeast of Bethune. The announcement follows: "A number of successful raids were carried out by us last night on differ ent parts of the front. In the sector southeast of Arras our troops entered the German trenches at two points and captured .fourteen prisoners and a machine gun. Other raiding parties brought back a few prisoners from the enemy's position in the neighborhood of Locon and in the sector between the forest of Nieppe and Meteren." Italians Repulse Attacks. Rome, Tuesday, May 21. Italian troops in the mountains west of the Brenta have broken up enemy at tacks, especially on the southern slopes of Sasso Rosso. On Monte Spinoncia, west of the Piave, says the official statement from the war of fice today, an Austrian position was destroyed and fifty-three prisoners captured. Germany's spring offensive launch ed in the hope of .forcing the allies to conclude peace enters its third month today. The allied armies are still intact and awaiting further ene my attacks, while American rein forcements are hurrying to France. Great losses sustained in Picardy- and Flanders have forced the Germans to halt and reorganize their shattered divisions. Allies Regain Ground in the weeks since the repulse of the last strong German attack, that north of Mount Kemmel. the allies have succeeded here and there in bit ing off important positions. Enemy counter attacks have not been vigor ous and all his attempts to regain the lost positions have failed. The latest German failure was northwest of Mer ville, the apex of the Lys salient. At tacking new British positions on a front of two-thirds of a mile, the Ger mans, altho in strength, were thrown back. The British line remains un changed. Smaller enemy attempts north of Bailleul have been repulsed by the French. On the sectors southwest of Tpres and west of Amiens the Germans have shown no indications that infantry at tacks are about to be renewed. Neith er has Gen. Otto von Below's army east of Arras undertaken new opera tions. However, Berlin cannot delay renewal of the offensive much longer and that is the time the allies are waiting for as they improve positions at various points. British aviators since March 21 have accounted for 1.000 German air plafies and have dropped more than 1,000 tons of bombs on enemy military targets. The aerial campaign against the enemy continues unabated, both British and French bombing squad rons being busy. In patrol actions in Lorraine Amer ican troops have captured German prisoners. Both American and Ger man artillery is more active than usual In the Woevre and in Lorraine, but no Infantry fighting is reported. Italians Are Victorious. On the front between the Piave and Lake Garda the Italians have been vic torious in several strong local engage ments with the Austro-Hungarians. On Monte Spinoncia, west of the Piave the Italians wiped out an enemy post and captured 63 prisoners while their new positions at Capo Sile on the Piave have been extended further. North of Bagdad in Mesopotamia, the Turkish resistance to the advanc ing British still is weak. Mounted troops have occupied Fatha. north of Tekrlt on the Tigris, the Turks flee ing after slight fighting.

May 22. Martial law has been proclaimed in Bohemia and in consequence of "popular excesses," many persons have been imprisoned," says a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Berne quoting the Slovenski Parod. Outbreaks have occurred in Pilsen, Nachod and other towns. The vast estates of Prince Furst enburg. a close friend of the German emperor, have been plundered and the buildings on them burned. Dr. Von Seydler, the Austrian pre mier it is added, has summoned the Czech Deputy Stanek to discuss the situation. Deputy Stanek has declined and has warned the premier against a policy of violence in Bohemia, fearing evidently that the indiscriminate hangings and shootings in Galicia at the beginning of the war are to be repeated in Bohemia.

Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes is an internation alist and loves all countries, she said today in answer to questions by Elmer B. Silvers, assistant United States dis trict attorney, who conducted the cross examination at her trial here on charges of violating the espionage act. "Do you believe in patriotism in the ordinary sense of love of the country of which you i-.re a citizen," he de manded. After several attempts at an indi rect answer, Mrs. Stokes finaliy was permitted to reply: "I, believe in country as exempli fied in its people and not by those 1& control. I love all countries." .tr-. She had been a Socialist all her life, she said, but left the party in the sum mer of .19 17, and' returned to it in 1918. but never forsook its principles and still entertained them. She ad mitted selling the transcript of her speech made in Minneapolis to an eastern magazine in which she had said: Would Not Salute Flog. "This is a historic event in my life. It is the first time I have ever stood on any platform as an American." Mr. Silvers further quoted from the magazine .article statements to the ef fect that she had. previously refused to rise to the national anthem or salute the flag and had stated she would rather be shot than do so. The speech, Mrs. Stokes testified, was delivered after she had left the Socialist party and before her return to it. Mr. Silvers drew from her a repetition of the statement that her principles during the time of her withdrawal from the party had not materially changed. On taking the stand this morning in continuation of her direct exami nation, Mrs. Stokes testified her hus band was a member of the ninth coast guard artillery. She denied that in her communication to the Kansas City Star, on which her indictment was said to have been based, that she had intended to cause insubordination or refusal of military service or ob struct recruiting. Doctor Harding Testifies. Dr. Eva Harding of Topeka, former candidate for congress, followed Mrs. Stokes or. the witness stand. She tes tified that she had attended the lunch eon given by the Women's Dining club at which Mrs. Stokes delivered an address and that the substance of this speech had to do with conditions after the war. Mrs. Stokes, the witness .testified, spoke of the "invisible government" which the people "would have to fignt after the war." Mrs. Stokes had said, Dr. Har-ling added, that there were two elements in this country the people and tho profiteers and that at the conclusion of the world war would come the crisis. The people would not fight for dol lars Dr. Harding testified Mrs. Stokes had declared and therefore, the "As God Has Blest Us With Means" Bishop Tuttle I St. Louis. "When the Red Cross asks we cannot turn our backs. We know too well all it has done, all it is doing and all it means to do. Instead we stretch out warm hand grasps filled with thanks and filled with gifts according as God has blest us with means. "The carnage of battlefields, the pains and groans in hos pitals, the loneliness of imprisonment, the terror and dismay of women, the tears and cries of children, hunger that stops not short of famine and want, steadily sinking itself, into despair, the world now is quite filled with these things. "Yet almost all over the world their darkness and misery" are no little brightened and comforted by the blessed minis tration of the Red Cross. "So we acclaim the Red Cross with praise. "We thank God for the Red Cross. "We want to stand by and to hold up and to help on and to pray for the Red Cross." v Signed) DANIEL S. TUTTLE, (Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church.) TRY PARIS RAID

German Airplanes Beached Edge of City Only. One Hnn Brought Down in Flames as Price. Paris, May 22. German aviators made an ineffectual attempt last night to raid Paris. Three persons were killed and several wounded in the out skirts of the city but none of the raiders reached Paris itself. A Ger man airplane was hit by an anti-air craft gun and fell in flames north of the city. "The enemy last night dropped a few -bombs in the suburbs," the state ment said. "There wers some victims and some damage. Our artillery brought down one plane. 'The different methods of defense were put into operation. A violent curtain of fire was thrown up and our squadrons took the air. i All Clear at 1 O'clock. The enemy, dropped bombs in vari ous suburbs. Some material damage is reported. The signal that all was clear was sounded at 1 o'clock this morning. The raid demonstrated the high efficiency of the city's aerial de fenses. It was a clear and windless night with a brilliant moon, the raid ers divided into two squadrons sought vainly for two hours to find a gap in the wall of fire with which the city was encompassed. The places at which the bombs fell show that the Germans circled far around the city before losing their cargoes and flee' ing.

Mrs. Stokes declared the letter writ ten to the Star was dictated in such haste that her exact meaning was not expressed. She explained that she was preparing to leave the city on her speaking tour at the time the letter was written. "I was in such a hurry," she testi fied, "that I never even read the copy before sending it to the newspaper. You know I did not expect the Star to print the letter, as they had re pressed a previous interview." Father Pleads for Complete Open Testimony. "ONE OF MANYSAID WIFE Murdered Woman Called Her Bad Names.. Fellow Teachers Uphold Grace Lusk's Character. Waukesha. Wis., May 22. A score of men and women testified today as character witnesses for Grace Lusk who is herself expected to take the stand late this afternoon to defend herself against the charge of mur dering Mrs. Roberts. School teachers, who have worked with the defendant, told of the esteem in which she was held, and' others testified that she was subject to se vere headaches as the result of over work. Still others, intimate with the Lusk family, told of alleged eccen tricities of its members. Questions were framed to bring out support for the insanity defense. Grace Lusk, altho said by her friends to be on the verge of a nerv ous breakdown, prepared to take the witness stand late today at her trial for the slaying of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts. According to attorneys she will en ter a flat denial of the testimony of Dr. David Roberts, husband of the slain woman, that she pursued him, forced him by means of threats to meet her in Chicago and Milwaukee and deliberately plotted to wreck his home.

It is not believed she will veer far in her testimony from the letter she addressed to Mrs. Roberts, but never mailed, informing Mrs. Roberts that her husband wished she were in "angel land" and for three years had taken monthly trips with Miss Lusk. She Is Very Tired. Waukesha, Wis., May 22. Grace Lusk, self-confessed slayer of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts, wife of Dr. David Roberts, today took the stand in her own behalf. The father has pleaded with his daughter to cast aside every vestige of lingering regard she mayv cherish for Roberts and seek safety; her law yers have made the same plea. But to none of them has she given indica tion of what she intends doing. "I am very tired," she said and that was all, according to the lawyers and her father. Despite her state of near collapse Miss Lusk, before she took the stand, detailed to a reporter the happenings of that memorable afternoon when she shot to death the wife of the man she loved. She was seated at a small table making ineffectual attempts to eat her supper as she talked. Momentarily she dropped knife, fork and spoon as she talked and the muscles of her face twitched continually. "The day Mrs. Roberts came," she said, "she insulted me terribly. She was with me a half hour I guess. I don't remember how long it was. But when sh e cam e in she began telling Continued on Page Two.) MERCY FUND WINS Three States Already Past Red Cross Quotas.

DELUGE OF AMERICAN SHELLS Lively Patrol Actions Fall to Americans. Huns Retire Before Quick Yan kee Attacks. "i (By tbe Associated Press.) With the. American Army In France, May 21 Tuesday. The American ar tillery northwest of Toul launched a sudden and terrific local gas attack upon the German positions and can tonments within the Gerechamp wood early today. Severe punishment was Inflicted upon the enemy. How great Is not yet known. The deluge of American shells fell in three waves and within a half hour the woods in which it is known many Germans were sleeping had been drenched with a large quantity of poi sonous gas. In lively patrol actions Monday night and this morning east of Lune ville, German parties were twice de feated by the Americans, who cap tured two prisoners. Drove Patrol Back. An officer and twenty men while ex ploring the area northwest of Ancer villers, east of Luneville. sighted fout enemy patrols and established contact with one of them. The enemy party numbering sixteen, took up a position in an unused trench from which they were driven by the rifle and crenad firing of the Americans. The Gormani were then rushed by the Americans who took two prisoners,- one so badly wounded that he died later. There were no casualties on the American side. Four hours later an enemy patrol made a bold attempt to rush one of our outposts but was driven off. On German was killed and his body wai brought back to the American linei for identification purposes. Northwest of Toul an American patrol traversed the Apremont Varneville road no found a high tension cable uasd foi charging the enemy wire. They eui the cable and brought back a. large sectMm of it. Another patrol came on a German party southwest of Apremont and sharp fighting resulted, the Ameri cans used their pistols, rifles and hand grenades effectively and the Germanswere forced to retire. A corporal named Klick. from a New England state, carried out a "personal patrol" late yesterday after noon. He crawled to the enemy wire to investigate what he thought was a periscope, and saw a German step up to the firing trench. Bullets were ex changed but the American returned safely across No Man's Land. With the American Armies in France. May 21. (night).

A bullet from the enemy machine barely missed Lieutenant Taylor and punctured a wing of his airplane. A second later, the lieutenant saw one of his tracer bullets penetrate the fuselage of the enemy machine where the observer was working a machine gun and there- was no further fire from the German. Lieutenant Taylor continued to fire at the German pilot and after 450 shots, most of them at about 700 yards, the enemy machine went spin ning to the earth in a nose dive. Capt. David Peterson, of Hones dale, Pa., after a long chase sent down a German two-seater airplane wabbling and diving to the ground in the neighborhood of Chateau Saline today. The American aviator pur sued the enemy machine for forty kilometers along the battle line and then chased him twelve kilometers behind the German lines before he succeeded in attacking him from be neath. The German's dive to the ground followed promptly. Attack at Heligoland. Washington, May 22. That Ameri can aviators have operated over Heli goland bight was revealed today when the committee on public information announced the death of Knsign Stephen Potter, U. S. N. R. F Detroit. Mich., in a spectacular battle with seven enemy single Beaters. Potter and a companion battled gal lantly against the V shaped flying wedge of the Teutons and quit only when Vis machine, in flames, came crashing down on the port wing tip. The last seen of him was on the surface surrounded by burning oil. Suddenly a cloud of smoke obscured him and machine and the man com pletely. The London representative on the committee tells the story thus: 'Six weeks -after Stephen Potter, U. 8. N. R. F., had shot down a German seaplane in Heligoland bight, the enemy got him in the North sea. Potter was killed on April 25. in a fight with seven enemy single setters. He was second pilot to a British royal air force captain with whom he shot down a German last March. In British Machine. "Potter left a North sea station In a British seaplane and steered due east until six miles from Hinderlight. An other plane accompanied Potter and kept position to the starboard thru ctit the action. "Two enemy airplanes were sighted to port heading toward them, flying low. Both British planes dived about a hundred yards apart, closing upon the nearest German. Fire opened from both at close range. "Potter's companion, had emptied one drum when the gun jammed. Two more hostile planes then appeared overhead, attacking vigorously. Both Britons turned to the west, pursuing one of the lower enemies who was soon lost to view. Three others passed astern following at a sharp angle. Pot ter was close above his companion and dove to within 100 feet of the water. Both machines flattened out and Potter's companion, being faster, throttled down until Potter came abreast. Thus they ran westward at full Rpeed close together for several minutes under continuous volleys from the rear. Four More Huns Appeared. f Four more enemy planes now ap peared in V formation. Of the -seven Germans in action four were attack- I ing Potter and the others his com panion. Potter fell behind and began to zig-zag. He first veered slightly to starboard and then turned at right angles to port. "Again his companion throttled down to let him catch up and began climbing to reduce headway. Potter I dodged again but was then broadside to all enemy machines and under their fire only fifty feet from the water. His companion above saw Potter's ma chine burst into flames, come down part of the" way undeV control, then crash on the port wing tip. "Potter was last seen on the stir face amid flames, which turned suddenly te a huge cloud of smoke. i "Two of the, enemy circled over the spot and then Joined the other five. When the pall had cleared not even the wreckage was visible." Potter's next kin is a brother, John H. Potter. Detroit. Mich.

BLIND HUSBANDS BEST Ex-Soldiers Wrll Trained to Make Liv ing and Get Good Wives. i London, May 22. Blind soldier hus bands are good husbands, and they t,et good looking wives. Sir Arthur Pearson, head of St. Dun- Stan's Hostel for the Blind, says so, from his observation of 109 happy marriages of St. Dunstan patients. These 109 bridegrooms are better able to make livings for their families than they would have been had they married before going to war. They are masseurs, shorthand writers, tele phone operators, carpenters, and mar ket gardeners, trained in their new occupations at the hostel.. 3RD TORNADO IN 3 YRS. (Continued from Paga One.? severe as the one In Ellis and Rooks. No deaths have been reported from Trego, but a number of persons were injured and the property damage has been placed at $100,000. The finest orohard in western Kan sas, owned by James Mcintosh, is a complete loss. Lightning struck his house, divided it; then the twister turned the parts ,in different direc tions; blew the barn at the house from one direction and the concrete roof of the milk house at it from the other. Stone Structures Demolished. Many of the homes in the district were of stone and the occupants of them are bruised from" flying missiles Robert Harman saved his mother's life by throwing an elbow in the path of a stone from the walls of their home. A post was carried one-half mile, driven thru a window and neatly deposited on the dining table of George Mcintosh's home. No damage was done to the place. One Man Loses $17,000. On the P. J. Deane ranch, thirty miles nprth of Hays, every building was demolished, including a steel rein forced concrete barn. 100 by 139 feet. and a concrete silo. Concrete blocks from these buildings were strewn for 500 vards. The house was a new one, made of stone and concrete and the family rushed to the storm cellar seven feet below ground, with a concrete roof. Everything was "blown away. Dean came to Hays in borrowed cloth ing Tuesday. His individual loss was over $17,000. The C. G. Cochran ranch home in the same neighborhood, was leveled. George Ball, his wife and two chil dren had a miraculous escape from death. When the tornado struck his farm it picked the house up and hurled it 400 yards thru the air, set ting it down without injury. Then the wind sucked out all four sides of the building and left the family, un hurt, seated on the floor. Baby's Body Crushed. On the James Mcintosh farm all four wheels of a new wagon were torn off. The wheels were scattered in all directions and were found half mile apart. One was discovered hanging to a fence post At the Geist farm the buildings were so demolished and the debris blown away that rescuers had to tear up the floor in a milk cave to get boards on which to carry the bodies of the victims. A 2-year-old baby was blown out of the arms of its uncle on the Geist farm and carried an eighth of a mile by the -cyclone. When found every bone in the child's body had been broken. The Geist children were aged 2, 3 and 5, respectively. Trego County Loss $100,000. Wakeeney,' Kan., May 22. A tor nado occurred about S o'clock Mon day evening ten miles southeast of this place, leveling the buildings on the G. M. Stanton farm and doing great damage on the farms of Bert Stanton, G. M. Hobbick. Thomas Ku- tina and others. Mrs. Bert Stanton was badly hurt by flying debris and a Miss Diets was injured by broken glass striking her in the face but no lives were lost. The path of the tor nado was about three miles long and a half mile wide, following a draw that opens into Big creek. On the north at this point the storm lifted and struck again about three miles down the valley. About 200 head of livestock were killed outright and -many injured. A traction engine was lifted and carried a .distance of ten or fifteen rods. The tabernacle of the Northwestern Kansas Holiness Association near Ogallah was blown down. The total damage is probably not less than $100,000. 89TH ISJN WAY Funston Soldiers Eagerly Pre pare for Trip Over There. Everything at Camp Shows Ac tivity of Departure. DETAILS ARE KEPT SECRET But Spirit of Men Is One Thing Huns Should Know. Middle West Will Be Well Rep resented by Them. Camp Funston, Kan., May 22. The Eighty-ninth National army division under General Wood is experiencing the thrills and the sensations and the heart throbs the men have been long-4 ing for during their long months of training-.'' Altho it is not permissible to tell the details, the censor has per mitted correspondents to state that the division Is moving. Where they go, when and how are details that are not allowed to be discussed but the men are and have been busy packing and saying goodby, and there has been a bustle and a busy ouzz nere every hour of the day and night for some time. For eight and a hair months the Eighty-ninth division has been train ing and preparing and getting ready for the bie Job "over there" and now the boys are notifying their families and friends that they are about to join the hosts of Hun holders under General Pershing. Ana sucn an or ganization of wonderfully fit manhood has never before said goodby to Kan sas soil. It goes without saying that such an organization could not say goodby without making a lasting im pression upon all who witness the spectacle. Men Ideal Americans. That the men are "ready" and that they are going into this, the greatest event of their lives, with all the en thusiasm, all the determination and all the fine spirit that Americans hold ideal leaves the spectator speechless in his admiration but thrilled with an enthusiasm and a patriotism that few ever before experienced. A unit marching, led by a band blar ing the strains of "Over There, standards and colors flying, bayonets glistening! Thousands of canvas clad legs moving in perfect rhythm. Curt orders in low voices barely distinguish able above the crunching of gravel. A stop for good-by to comrades; more playing by the band of jazz music, ragtime and a finish on the national anthem. Not a dry eye is left, but none from sorrow. There's patriotism and Joy in the air and a big man about to ofrer his life for his country feels no shame in shedding a tear at such a time. Confusion for- a few minutes: and the offering of "Kansas, or Missouri, or Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Arizona or New Mexico is on Its way. a coionei, a real luu-Ileaged colonel with eagles on his shoulders, stood at the head of such a Tine'.

"Hold the lines, put talk if inn mnt to," he changed his order, and the dozen or more fathers who knew somehow to be in camp, rushed into the lines for one more word to their Doys, tneir "lioerty bond." An ortieer ranking so hieh it wnuM practically be 'naming him to give his rank, stood back a distance and watched. "No man can ever know or realize, unless he has seen it with his own eyes," he soliloquized. "Just a few short months ago they were clerks and office men, farmers and mechan ics. Now to look at them! It is past believing. They're wonderful. Thank God, I am an American and a brother of these men." And the high 'officer la, not alone in his thankfulness. Not a man among the thousands would trade places with a stay-at-home. Each feels his impor tance, the prime importance of a pri vate in canvas leggings, the man who will execute the order of General Per shing. With such a feeling the 89th Division goes to do its share. West Well Represented. The middle west may rest asrored it is well represented in the American Expeditionary forces and before the summer closes will hear of the work of its sons in barring 'the door of bar barism. L' What plans the future holds for Camp Funston have not been an nounced. Whether a new division will be trained- here or a replacement camp established is merely problemat ical. But certain it is that the empty barracks will not be empty long. For one reason the training space is too valuable, and for another reason, they are tod lonely looking a sight to be left on the face of the earth. Bleak staring windows with not a face to them, long rows of bunks stripped bare, strings of tables with hundreds of empty chairs, tell a story or lone someness to soldiers passing by. HUNDRED "OVER TOP" Barber County Amog Those Over Red Cross Quota. St. Louis, May 21. One hundred counties in the southwestern division of the American Red Cross already have "gone over the top" in subscrip tions to the second war fund, accord ing to Chairman John L. Johnson.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1918 Up t o the Minu te ipimnM WW FROM EVERYWHERE. BY-CLUO" MIGHTY OUTFIELD McGraw Has Star Gardeners of National League. Burns Kauff and Young All Sweet Players. BY JACK fVEIOCK. New York. May 22. The regular outfield trio of the champion Giants In one of the classiest combinations gotten together in the National league In years. There are several outfields in the hlg show which may stack up as more deadly with the bats, but for all around baseball ability you have to go a long way to beat George Burns, Benny Kauff and Ross Young. First of alt. each of these players lias a good many years of baseball head of him, and if McGraw is lucky he should hold on to his trip lets for three or four years at the very least. Young Is Reliable. Burns and Kauff were seasoned players when the season of 1918 open ed. There was no doubt about their ability. But there was some doubt as. to whether Koss Young could success fully fill the whoes left vacant by Davey Robertson. That doubt lias been swept aside, for Young has made good with a vengeanve. He has made Polo Fronnds fans forget Davey. Youngs style of handling himself In the field and at the bat is not un like that of Burns, and he hits hard and timely. He is a good Judge of a fly ball and a good base-runner, which is all McGraw could ask. Burns Sun Artist. In left field George Rums ranks is one of the best players in the Na tional league. There is no better sun fielder than Purns. and the iact that New York is the only big league team he has ever flayed with proves his class. He came up once and has been up ever since. Kauff. in center, is not the prettiest fielder In the I u sin ess. but he is reas onablv sure. Benny traps a ball in a rather awkward looking way, but r,e "gets 'em." nnd that is what counts. On the bases Benny Is the best of the three, and If he realizes his ambition this season, rvtober will find him 1 eniline the batsmen of the mother i lr-nit in place of Kddie Rousch. his former teammate in the Federal league ALEX. GOOF SOLDIER Idol of Bnsebnll" Fans Acts as Ser geant in Detention Camp. (By U. P. Ry. News Bureau.) Camp Funston. Kan., May 22. Grover Cleveland Alexander, the for-" ner ISO, 000 Cub pitcher, has almost finished' his period of detention at Camp Pawnee. At the detention camp he has been promoted to an acting first sergeancy, and as he bosses his company around in their various camp duties, he would hardly be recognized as the former Idol of the diamond. In fact. Alexander has tiken' to army life like the proverbial duck to water, is popular with both officers and men and is working hard to make the best possible soldier out of himself. In filling out his personal card, he gave his occupation as baseball player snd lineman, and as every soldier is placed, when possible, at the work in v hich he is most skilled, it is prob able that he may be assigned to the signal corps in the latter capacity, when his detention time is up.

(Copyrighted.) The Veteran. The wheezy young flivver has wended it Its efficiency j?one to nix; It once was a typewriter painted and gay. But is hereby released to the sticks. For somebody came to my rem-ue today And 1 now use an old Number Six. A typewriter is a delicate Instrument. It tans no business hanging around a news foundry unless it is builried to withstand a lot of abuse unless it is a sturdy, steel hearted veteran of many wars. Many a typewriter is wished upon many a newsnaner man who thumps it as lustily as if he were playing a bass drum, not knowing neing a newspaper man ana, naturally not knowing anything) that he is playing a Stfad or a Cremona or words to that effect. But a highbrow typewriter hasn't any more busincRB around an editorial room than an asthmatic professor of higher mathematics has in a lootbail game. This may not interest you. Gen. Public, but when one meets a resrular lowbrowed. roughneck type machine, one feels as one would feel who, having subsisted for weeka and months on salads and chocolate eclairs, suddenly finds himself face to face with a large poultice of corned beef and cabbage. A sway backed, spavined, nlckelplated type machine may be. work of art under the gentle touch of a good stenographer, but we never have met a good stenog rapher who was a good newspaper man, nor have we ever met a good newspaper man who was a good stenographer. N Having relieved our bosom of the above, we turn back to the commercial world and learn that the Cubs have lost again. Show ing that they are in midseason form. Walter Johnson, like Ty Cobb, is grow ing old and feeble. All the poor old stiff can do nowadays is to shut 'em out for eighteen innings. Pat Moran must be a diplomat or a wizard or something. Anybody who can develop a ball club out of his bunch is capable of developing team work In .Rus sia. Thir are nrofiteers in baseball as well as in warfare. For instance, there is the guy who always makes a bit with two out and nobody on. i Fifty-Fifty.

Hitting has been unusually heavy in both major leagues, so far this season. The batters have been in their glory, for heavy cannonading of the pitchers has forced the managers to change boxmen many times, as the box scores show, and the races for the batting championships are on full tilt and hotly contested. Tho the weather met up with by most teams in the South this year was reported fair, it has developed that practically all of the pitchers had a tough time of it getting in shape to start the season and during the first three weeks of the campaign. which is now a month old, the hurlers took their bumps. As usual, there have been a number of brilliant pitching performances, but me records made so rar this year can not compare with those of 1917, when several twirlers broke into the no-hit hall of fame before the middle of May. Kddie Rousch and Ty Cobb the bat ting chamDiona of the bis: show, are finding the' opposition livelier this year than they did last season, for the hard hitters are going at a taster clip and there is a good chance that the titles in both leagues may change hands. 4, Two sociable glasses in every bottle of Buck FIRST time you lean your lip against a cool, foamy glass of good old Buck, you'll chum up to this delicious, cereal beverage.

At Des Moines the Boosters and To peka Kaws played to a crowd of 500. which the club owners say is as large a week day crowd as could be expect ed under the best of conditions. At Omaha after supper baseball also was tried Tuesday but a threatening storm brought on premature darkness and the game was not finished. Spencer Arthur Abbott, president of the Topeka club, who expects to join his team at Des Moines today, an nounces that he will start calling local games at 6:30 upon the return of the club the first of June.

It is reported that, at the Instance of Doctor Garfield, the production of automobiles Is to be curtailed to 25 per cent of the normal output. This indi cates a continuation of the Rood doc tor's plan of reducing the consump tion of coal Instead of Increasing the production. To some undoubtedly this will appear to be a poor way to solve the coal problem. More persons succeed in business by increasing their Incomes than ty practicing economy. If industry slacken, from any cause, the ability of those who are engaged in industry will commensurately be compelled to slacken in their contribu tions to the war forces of the nation: they will pay less tax; they will be able to buy fewer bonds and thrift stamps. The proposed order will have the effect of impeding the sale of lib erty bonds. If the automobile fac tories can be utilized in war work It is well but It Is difficult to see why they should atop work, merely to save s coal when there is so much coal avail able in the mines.

It is declared that we At home can help America win the war by deal ing only with reputable business bouses. An advance of twelve miles by a section of the allied army on the Macedonian front reported in the dis patches indicates that the going is good in that part of the world. Why action on this front has been so long delayed Is one of Wje mysteries of the war, still unfathomed. A CALL FOR BUSINESS MEN.

CHAPTER XI. Uncle Joe," 82 Years Young. In view of the -big drive on this week in Topeka and all over the coun try, the author of these chapters had intended to make ttys chapter on "The Red Cross," altho the original table of contents called for two other chapters before the one on "Unole Joe." However, certain cuts that were ex pected to go with the Red Cross story have failed to arrive from Washing ton, so the Red Cross chapter will have to go over until the next issue or possibly later. Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Danville, 111., popularly known as "Uncle Joe." is still an Important and active factor in congress. Altho he lacks the pres tige and power he held for so many years as the speaker of the house of representatives, as a member he Is to day most frequently consulted about legislation, takes an active part in the debates on the floor, shirks no duty In his committee work, is on hand with regularity at the opening of the ses sions, day by day, and is careful not to miss roll calls. In fact, "Uncle Joe," who reached the age of 82 this month, is more industrious, more energeflc and more truly representative of his district and country than many a younger man in the halls of congress. This is written from personal knowl edge and observation; for upon leav ing New York for home on April 28, I reached Washington early on the following day, whjch was Monday, and remained at the capital city until 6 o'clock that evening. For the last ten years I have been fond of "Uncle Joe," and in that re spect did differ from some political partisans in Kansas. It may be re membered that ten years ago there 'appeared in the State Journal four separate articles upon the subject of this sketch. It told the truth and it gave the western reader a new idea and a new conception of Cannon. Far be it from us to set up "Uncle Joe" on a pedestal; but all the same he was misunderstood. His practices as speaker were denounced by the Dem ocrats and certain Republicans joined in the hue and cry. He was called a "czar." The Republicans were in power then. When the Democrats came in they found that they had to pursue Cannon's methods in order to get anything done. When 26,000 or more bills are thrown into the hopper at one session by congressmen, it is ap parent that there must be some strong rules to sfft these bills and an exer cise of more or less arbitrary author ity about them or congress would ac complish nothing. There was no time to even read all the bills, and certain ly none to consider them, even hastily. While the Democrats denounced "Uncle Joe" when they might make political capital out of it. they fol lowed his methods when the majority rule was given to them and they were held accountable for results. I was by no means alone then, nor am I now in holding a sort ofspecial admiration for the venerable man, al tho t have naturally not always agreed with him. BU11 in order to like "Uncle Joe." you do not necessarily have to agree with him. politically. One of, the finest tributes ever de livered in the house of representatives by any one was an eloquent speech by the Hon. Champ Clark when he was simply a member and "Uncle Joe" speaker. This tribute was paid by the man who was to be speaker later to the man who was speaker then, some years since on one of the birth day anniversaries of Mr. Cannon. "Uncle Joe's" personal friends were quite as likely to be Democrats as they were Republicans, and it is so today. Congressman Anthony and I drifted into "Uncle Joe's" room a few days ago Just about noon when the house was coming together. We found L. W. Busby, who for so many years has been Mr. Cannon's secretary, still in charge. He said: "Mr. Cannon has gone Into the house, but I think will return to his room in a few min utes after roll call." The visitors sat down. The ex speaker came in. shortly and spright ly, looking fine and apparently as alert as ever, greeting us both cor dially. After a few commonplaces I said, and meant it: "Mr. Cannon, you look to me about as strong and vigorous as you did ten years ago." Mr. Cannon evidently takes good care of himself. He still likes a smoke and offered me one. y I have enjoyed,'' what is declared to be by many who do not know him very well, the rare .opportunity of seeing "Uncle Joe" when he was not smok ing. Some people think that ''Uncle Joe"1 goes to bed with a cigar and gets up with one. I have never seen him asleep. The reader may question this remark, but bear it in mind that things appearing In these chapters are set down as the truth. Pretty soon there was a call of the house and Mr. Cannon excused him self and went back Into the hall, the visitors remaining for a few minutes to talk with Busby about his visit to Topeka and Kansas some years ago and other things. Here' an interesting incident happened: A messenger came in bearing an unwrapped box about eighteen Inches long, fifteen Inches wide, and twelve inches deep. He gave it to Mr. Busby with the remark that it was for Mr. Cannon. Mr. Busby placed it on a desk nearby.. It was a beautiful thing. Of polished mahogany with brass in laid corners, and on top a brass plate engraved as follows: "Uncle Joe" Cannon 82 Years Young When Greek meets Greek Then comes the Tug of War When Friend meets Friendj They Smoke a Good Cigar With Kind Thoughts Frederick C. Hicks 1910 All three of us were interested. Wo opened the lid. It is beautifully lined with aluminum. The- lining was hol low. It was a humidor, for condi tioning cigars and tobacco. Frederick C. Hicks enjoys the dis tinction of representing the Oyster Bay district of New York. It is Con gressional District No. 1. When Col onel Roosevelt desires to communi cate with his congressman he writes a letter to Hicks. Hicks is a banker and well-fixed. He likes Mr. Cannon that must go without saying or he could not have presented the hand some, expensive humidor with the In scription thereon to his friend, a fel low congressman. The next week. May 7, was Uncle Joe's birthday. The writer had re turned a week before, but he sent a message of congratulations to the man who on that day was 82 years, young. Here's the letter that came in re sponse to that message: House of Representatives U. 8. Washington. I. C. May 8, 1018. rear Mr. MacLennan I received yoor telesram of congratulations yesterday and thank you for remembering tne. I was sorry not to have a longer visit with you when here last week, but when you come gain I will try to have Brother Rlcks's humidor stocked so ss to tempt you to re main for a smoke and chat. Please give my very 4est regards to Mrs. MacLennan and the daughter, and next time bring them with you so that we may have a visit at home. As ever with respect, J. G. CANNON. Frank P. MacLennan.

It has ben said of the American people that they are the greatest soup eaters' in the history of the world greatest meaning most artistic The American technique is faultless, and it requires more simon-pure technique to assimilate soup than to perform any other single function in the aver age human life. It has required centuries of patient effort to bring the American public to its present standard of artistic ef ficiency. It seems a great pity that, just as we have mastered this art in all its branches, it seems fated to be snatched from us as a consequence of the great war. The same is true of the gentle art of spearing anchovies with a tooth pick. The war is a great leveler. It takes from us with ruthless hand the carefully nurtured refinements, and leaves only the elementals of food, which require only the most primitive of weapons in their assimilation. Science has just told us that the soupless day is at hand. The various articles which enter into the manufac ture of this liquid confection, with the possible exception of water, will soon have gone up beyond the reach of the average man, even tho he may use a stepladder or a captive balloon. Those who may doubt the serious ness of the situation need only to read the expert views in the public prints. While It is admitted on all sides that soup should naturally be the last fool rampart to fall, the end is not far off. The situation will not be so difficult in France and Rumania, where they make delicious soup from pump water and sunlight, with a dash of -green grass, but to England and America, where people demand soup in their soup, the present condition means much. The real trouble with Russia Is that there are so many Russians there. The life of a grand opera singer Is not always as pleasant as it might be. Somebody broke into Freda Hempel'. apartment and stole JS00 worth of champagne. The Grand Duke Mike of Russia. Who recently declined the throne And is now trying to seat Jhe Young czarowitch in it, Is said to be very popular in Russia. He Is a regular idol of the people. Everybody likes him except the Bolsheviks, the Red Guard, the Soviets, The Finns, the Lithuanians, the Poles, The Ukrainians, the Don Cossacks, The Crimeans and the Siberians. With these few exceptions. The Russian people are wild about him. DINNER STORIES "Have you been following this trial?" "Yea" "Is the defendant as beautiful as they say?" "Well, she la beautiful enough to be acquitted. If you mean to ask if she is beautiful enough for vaudeville, I dunno." A darky being asked the meaning of the word phenomenon answered In this manner: "De oder day Ah was walkin' down a country road ad mirin de scenery. Ah sen a cow peacefully chewin her end in a field. Ah passed on and pretty soon Ah seen a thistle growing by de roadside. A little further on Ah heard a bird singin' in a tree. Now. if Ah seen die cow sittln' on dat thistle and singin' like a bird, Ah' call dat a phenomenon," f u 1 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HASKIN, Director. Washington, D. C F nnT.Ti fhitfmrk fkvrx Tin i'OTV BONDS. Washington, D. C, May 1. Do not use your liberty bonds to buy or pay debts, and, above all, do not trade them for other stock, which are repre sented to you as being equally safe and yielding a much higher rate of interest. These are the fundamental princi ples of a campaign of education for liberty Bond owners which is being conducted by the treasury department and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The latter organization has received from a number of its local chambers resolutions calling up on the business men of the United States to use their influence against concerns, which, it is charged, have been organized for the express pur pose of swindling liberty bond owners. These concerns approach men who have little knowledge of stocks and bonds, never having owned any until i they subscribed to tne liDerty loan rar patriotic reasons. The bond owner is assured that the stock offered him I is safe, and that it will pay a much larger return, in the form oi interest or dividends, than will the liberty bond. An appeal is usually made to the patriotism of the bond-Holder by representing that the enterprise in which he is asked to invest is engaged in munition making or other work necessary to the conduct of the war, and that It is therefore a patriotic act to invest in Its securities. It is charged that Often the stocks offered under this guise are worthless. The treasury department lias re ceived almost daily complaints of such transactions. It has no knowledge as to whether the companies soliciting the exchange of liberty bonds toe stocks in other enterprises are fraud ulent or not, but It has referred some of these complaints to the department of justice and the postoffice depart ment for investigation In that respect. Both the treasury department and the chamber of commerce, -however, wish to emphasize the point that the patriotic thing for the liberty bond holder to do is to keep his liberty bonds in his own possession. All trad ing in liberty bonds tends to depress their value, and so weakening the credit of your government. Of He enormous number of persons who bought liberty bonds a large pro portion never owned a bond or any other sort of a security before. Many of these persons have little knowledge of the nature or value of a govern ment bond. Foreign-born residents in some of the great cities bought liberty bonds in the firm belief that they were presenting the money to the govern ment, and that the bond was merely a receipt. They were with difficulty made to understand that Uncle Sam would pay them for the use of their money, and return it when it was no longer needed.- This is an extreme example of ignorance, of course, but many Americans of education know surprisingly little about the bonds they have bought, and do not understand their obligation to keep them. It is perhaps inevitable that schemes should be formed for taking advantage of their ignorance, and there is abun dant evidence that a variety of such schemes are being worked. Instances have come to the notice of the treas ury department in which bonds have been sold, sometimes for as little as sixty cents on the dollar. It is prac tically certain that such sales were brought about only by misrepresenta tion of the value of the bonds. In this way,- not only is the bond-holder swin dled, but his faith in his government and his patriotism are injured. All advertising for the purchase of bonds, or for their acceptance in lieu of cash, is henceforth to be considered unpatriotic, whatever motives of the intending purchaser. In want-ad col umns, for example, advertisements containing an offer to purchase liberty bonds are frequently seen. It is fair to assume that the intending pur chaser could not afford to pay the expense of such advertising unless he expected to buy the bonds for less than they are worth. Some merchants in good standing have offered to accept liberty bonds in paymenvof accounts, and have taken them at jar even when the bonds were below par. In such cases, of course, there Is no intent to swin dle, but these advertisements are nev ertheless undesirable, for the bond holder must be encouraged to keep his bonds In his own possession, and so to limit trading In them. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States proposes to conduct a campaign thru its membership, which will not only warn the bondholder against swindlers, and point out to him his duty to keep his bonds off the market, but will also give him a more complete knowledge as to the nature and Value of his security. It will be pointed out that a liberty bond is literally the best and safest investment irrTthe world. The inter est it yields, while not as large as that yielded by some Industrial securi ties, is nevertheless generous when the factor of safety is considered. Only those who study the market and have a wide knowledge of securities are fitted to invest in industrial stocks, but any man can buy a lib erty bond with the full assurance that his money is as safe as It would be in a bank, and that it will yield him more interest than most banks would pay on the deposit. His duty, both to the government and to himself, is to hold the bond until the war is over, that its value to him and the credit of the government may not be de pressed by the placing of bonds on the market thru other agencies than the government- Everyone should also realize that bonda are not legal tender, and that no one can be forced -to accept them in payment for goods or of Indebted ness. The bondholder should also know, what many of them do not know, that there are two kinds of bonds regis tered and coupon bonda A coupon bond is negotiable without signature that is, if the bond is lost or stolen, the person into whose hands it conies may sell it or collect the interest upon it as well as the rightful owner. A registered bond, on the other hand, cannot be sold- by anyone else, for it is not negotiable unless endorsed on the back by the owner in the presence of two witnesses. In order to collect the interest on a coupon bond, the coupons must be cut off twice a year and presented at a bank. In the ease of a registered bond, however, the government will pay the interest twice a year by check without any Initiative on the part of the owner of the bond. For all of these reasons, the treas ury department urges the purchase of registered rather coupon bonda As majiy persons have already purchased coupon bonds, however, they should know how to take care of them. All coupon bonds should be deposited at banks for safekeeping, so that they will not be lost by fire or theft.- It is not generally necessary to rent a safe-deposit box for this purpose. Many banks will take care of the bonds free of charge. Most employ ers, too, are willing to care for the bonds of their employes and to give advice about the collection of inter est. In order to facilitate this, the Chamber of Commerce proposes to publish schedules of the interest dates for each of the three loans. The gist of the matter is to remem ber that your liberty bond represents a lga.n to your government for the conduct of the war. and that it is both prudent and patriotic to hold this obligation until the war is over.

The other day the papers told about a. young woman who was out riding with a young man to whom she was engaged. The horse shied at a paper in the road, and that made the young man angry, and springing from the buggy and seized a stick and beat the animal unmercifully. Whereupon, being an intelligent young person who could read signs when she saw them, the girl imme diately broke her engagement, declar ing that she knew that a man who would beat a horse that way would beat a woman as soon as she was his wife and in his power. This incident is interesting because it shows that at least one woman has enough sense to take a hint when it Is given to her. and thus, save herself from trouble. It is also illuminating because it calls attention to the stupid ity of most of us. who blindly shut our eyes and go stumbling on into misery when there are plenty of danger sig nals posted all along the road of life if we would only bother to take note of them. One of the commonest excuses that people make for matrimonial blunders is that they were deceived, and did not know the real disposition and character of the individual they were marrying, or else. Heaven knows, they would never have been fools enough to have united themselves to the ones they did. To say this is to admit that we are all of the thirty-seven different varie ties' of an idiot, and yet it is only too true. We do marry people who have the most objectionable characteristics, without so much as' suspecting them, when all the time we might have seen their faults, if only we had used the slightest detective ability. Not many people are clever enough, or designing enough to hide their real natures, and pretend to be something that they are not. They couldn't take us in if they tried. And they don't try. It Is we who deceive ourselves simply because we don't use enough penetration and common sense to ar gue out what certain signs must in evitably partendv No man, for instance, would marry a bossy woman who will henpeck him all the days of his life, if he Knew it beforehand. Yet he will see a girl who has got her family under her thumb, who runs her home, and doesn't let her little sister come into the parlor, or her father smoke a r-P. without once perceiving that she will extend to her husband the tyranny she has always practiced over nor wn people. It is his fate calling nut warning to him In a voice like a mega phone. He hears the noise bur he doesn't take the trouble to Investigate its meaning. Nor would any man deliberately marry a shrewish woman with a red headed temper, and a double action tongue, if he was aware of it in time to sidestep the altar. Yet a man will observe that a girl is nervous, with thin lips, and quivering nostrils, and that she has the facility for saying sharp things, and is easily "riled", if things don't go exactly her way. Nature itself has hung out the red light danger signal in the hectic flush that comes with the slightest excite ment in such woman's cheeks, but the poor, blind bat of a roan never stops for it- He rushes right alons Into a marriage that is a perpetual battlefront.

Innisfallen Is only a tiny Island, a mere scrap of green in the Killarney lakes, but it holds the heart of the Irish people. It is the "sweet Innis fallen" of Moore's poem a fairy isle of nymphs and dryads. True emerald green, it is like a jewel set in the silver waters of the lakes. From Killarney's shores the tiny Is land seems covered with trees, huge oaks and ashes there since -he days of Saint Patrick and Brian Boru. One enormous holly, centuries old. towers above Innisfallen's few acres, its giant head held like a banner against the sky. The island still flies the green flag of Ireland's past glories, unfurled and untarnished thru the agea The spirit of Saint Patrick still reigns over Innisfallen, unconquered and un daunted. The island's rocky shores are steep and gray but indented here and there with pleasant sreen coves and peaceful Inlets. High on a ht.ge rock near the landing place, perches the ruins of the old Abbey of Saint Finian, founded in S00 A. D. by the leper prince. The abbey is a crumbling gray ruin, a shell of ivy covered walls and tumbling doorways. Here the Annals of 1 were writen, the only record of early Irish history. The glories or the old kings of Monster and Ilnster were recorded in its page the story of Brian Boru. and his battles against the Danes. The natives of Killarney's shores claim that Innisfallen Is the favorite haunt of the Good Little People, who hold their -slightly revels under the shade of the eld holly tree. These pixie people love the true Irish green and the sound of the name of good Saint Patrick the sight of a red flag or the sound of the name St. George breaks their faithful little hearts, so they have retired, to the one spot in Ireland where the sound la never heard. EVENING STORY ,The Window-Cleaner. BY LOUISE OLIVER. "Pianissimo! A little heavier and louder just there." Sue turned in startled amazement for the voice had come from the win dow. There, gazing calmly- within, his elbows on the sill, was a man in his shirt sleeves, looking quite as much at home as tho good firm terrain were not almost a hundred feet be low him. "My!" cried Sue, getting up quick ly and coming over. "How you frightened me! But good gracious, you'll fall! How did. you happen to get there "Music," said the man. "draws some people as honey draws a bear. I Will you play the last two dozen bars j over again That last part is per fect, but a little louder, fuller, don't j you know, like this." And forgetful of his position he let go with one j hand to mark the cadence and slip ped. But he caught himself in time. "Don't do that!" screamed Sue. "Oh,' I'm all right. I'm accustomed to climbing. Used to be a lineman, you know." "Then," said Sue, "that's different." Then she had an inspiration. That morning she had cleaned her win dows' but the outside with its sheer drop to the street was too much for her. It made her dizzy Juet to stand inside and look down. The building had had no janitor for two weeks and the windows were too smoky jo see thru. "I wonder if you would do me a favor!" she said shyly. "Name it," said her visitor promptly. "If I get you a cloth, do you think would you mind will you clean the outside of my windows? I can't reach them. I get so dizzy, and the Jani tor's sick." "Sure I can," he smiled, "and sure I will, and I don't mind at ail. But will you play that piece over again while I'm working. Ifa very pretty. What is it?" Sue flushed with pleasure. "Oh, do you think so? I'm composing a song cycle and this one is the 'Wild'West. Now, I'll get you the things, and then play all the songs all over for you." The windows polished to a nicety, the stranger pulled himself over the sill, and when Sue had finished she turYied to find him watching her In tently, a look on his face that only cornea to true music lovers. "You think it's all right?" she asked. "All right? It's more than that. It's the beat thing I've ever 'heard. What are you going to do with It when it's finished?" "I don't know exactly, I haven't dared to hope. I don't have much time to work at it, you see, for' I give les sons, and Saturday and Sunday are about all the time 1 have, and eve nings, of course. But I have thought of several publishers. Stokes, and Friehausen, and Sims and Winter." "Did you ever think -4f Keech?" asked Sue's visitor. "Keech! Think of Keech?" cried she. "Yes, when I was asleep and dreaming I was Chaminade or some other miracle. Keech, you know, only takes the big things, the wonderful things, the things we ordinary mor tals can't begin to touch. You don't understand. One dreams of Keech. but never in his, sane waking moments, dares to approach him with so much as a thought. "Besides," she added, after a breathless pause, "he's an old crank, they say, queer, eccentric, you know, like so many big musical people: sort of a little off his head. You under stand, don't you?" "I'm trying to." said ths other with a smile. "Well, we live and learn. I've always heard that your friend was a little nutty on music, but I. never knew he was so bad as that. If that's the case, I wouldn't waste my time on him." "Oh, yes." Sua assured him. "he's awful. But I'm glad you like my mu sic." t I It was almost a dlsmiesal.

I wonder if i TARES IN THE WHEAT you care to listen to it. Perhaps it's a dream as you say because it's about Keech, but do you know that stuff of yours is too good for Stokes and Friehausen. They'll never make a fortune for you nor the name for you that Keech would. I used to be in the music business myself, and I think I know a little bit about it." "You're versatile, aren't you!" smiled Sue. "Lineman, music man; what are you now?" "Climber and window cleaner.' They both laughed. "Well, go on." said Sue. "And I have a friend who is sort of a confidential adviser of Keech. I have influence, you see, that way. Moreover, I know the things he likes, his "hobbies, too. Would you mind collaborating with me? That is, may I make a few suggestions ?'l "Certainly!" she answered reluc tantly. "Only musio Isn't like a new dress, to be ripped up and altered to the wearer's taste. It must sfar.d as created." "Yes. of course, the main fabric. But the technique may be changed.

Needless to say, the man ap peared thereafter by the elevator route and 'always correctly dressed. "My name doesn't matter." he said. "It won't aoear on the score. I'm in this to help you. not myself. Just call me John Smith, and when the work is done, you need never see me again if you do not wish. I rather in truded myself .on your affairs unin vited and it is not necessary that I be a factor In yoor life after the evele is complete." "But you have become I mean I Bhall miss you very much," said Sue. "Then, that is up to you. I still hold to my theory that I must count for nothing as I am." It was new logic for the girl.

And many times the had thought of the window cleaning with compunction. "How did I dare?" she wondered. Then comforted herself. "It was th shirt sleeves, of course."

"My Dear Mr. Keech. I've Just learned who you are. I under stand your desire to keep .wav from me after the dreadful thlr.g's I said about you, and the awful thing I asked you to do. But al tho I don't even dare to ask you to come back as a friend, won't you come to let me ask your forgiveness. Remorsefully, yours, "Susan Pa?a." He replied In person. "I'm not coming as a friend," said David Keech. "I'm coming as I-rver. I've loved you.

Continual hesitation to. resume the offensive in Picardy and Flanders by von Hin denburg is acting to the increasing disadvantage of the -Germans and suggests the existence of divided opinions at the kaiser's headquarters. There are indications that reorgani zation of Germany's shattered divi sions along the west front, sufficient for a renewal of offensive tactics, was completed some time ago. Nev ertheless, von Hindenbure has post poned from day to day his apparent desire to try onop more to reach the channel ports. During this period of indecision, the Again It's the Open Season for CYCLONES and WIND STORMS TORNADOES Blind faith that your property will never be visited by such a calamity is surely unwise when you recall the disasters so near Topeka, and similar ones the country over, only last spring. Better be safe than sorry. We represent some of the strongest com panies in the country, can give you adequate and absolute financial pro tection at fair rates and assure you prompt, satisfactory settlements. Let's talk it over right away. THE SHAWNEE INVESTMENT CO. Tel. 5050 534 Kansas Avenue. rtf v Spring is In the atr-the I n fields and woods and waters 3 8 call- I fjli?

Further more, General Foch has been able to direct limited offensives, at which he is amazingly odept, and thereby to improve considerably the allies defen sive positions. Fause Is In-German. The German military mind wjrks so regularly along the line of con tinued persistence that the present long drawn pause in the west front operations must be due to unusual conditions. It is two months today since von Hindenburg's offensive began. The appalling losses Buffered since that time are not in themselves suf ficient to deter the milltaristsfrom further pursuit of their coastal Ob jectives. The promise of victory was too grandiloquently pronounced last March -f by von Hlndenburs and Ludendnrff. after only two months fighting. But the slaughter of German manhoid is very likely to have exercised a pro found influence upon the statesmen of the central empires. They are in closer touch with public opinion ihan are the military leaders and public opinion in oermany and Austria Hungary is increasingly restless, as time has been provided for a dis passionate review of the results of the west front gains compared with the appalling casualties. Attention Is Diverted. It Is highly significant that, simul taneously with the halt in the west front operations the German govern ment should begin to direct the at tention of the German people to the Teutonic successes in Russia. Keports of four German kings for Russia's western provinces are being circulated and the creation of vassal relations toward Germany by Ukraine and Fin land is suggested by the Berlin over lords. Even Austria-Hungary's future sub ordination to the Hohenzollerns is in timated by the kaiser's statesmen. These antics and others of a similar Intent, are undoubtedly being per formed to divert attention of the Ger man people from the west front fail ure. It is apparent that, tho von Hin denburg may be anxious to continue his policy of slaughter there are others in Germany who desire to take no further risks in the west. These oppo nents pt von Hindenburg are appar ently trying to placate the German people for the kaiser's failure to reach Calais by promising future exploita tions of Russia am) Austria-Hungary. If the Germans respond to the luro it may be that von Hindenburg will be compelled to abandon his bloody strategy in Flanders and Pcartly.

Of the twenty to thirty Gotham machines which took part in the raid on London Sunday night, five are reported officially to have been brought down. Official confirmation la lacking of the report that two others fell into the North sea. One of the raiders was engaged by a British airman who fired at close range until the machine disappeared lha cloud. Shortly afterward the ma chine burst into flames at a height of seven thousand feet and fell a, blaz ing wreck. Another machine was brought down by anti-aircraft guns in London. Two others were brought aown while attempting to escape, one being destroyed by British airmen. The fifth was set afire and fell into the sea. Few dozen bombs were drop ped promiscuously -on certain parts of a London district, doing in a few cases only, no inconsiderable, damage to small dwelling houses. Two fires were caused in large buildings but they were soon well under control. Some smaller dwelling houses were wrecked by the bombs and much glass was broken. Swedes Rescued Two! London, May 21. Two German air planes of a new and large type which had been forced to land in the North Pea were rescued by Swedish steam ers, telegraphs the correspondent at Copenhagen of the Exchange Tele graph company. These presumably are the machines mentioned In the iiritish official air report as having been driven down in the sea after the raid on London on Sunday.

The stamps bought by Colonel Green were turned back by a Wash ington citizen at the stamp window because the airplane was inverted. In the line behind this citizen was a man who sensed the philatelic value of the sheet and purchased It at its face value and it reached the hands of a Philadelphia stamp dealer who today received a bid of $12,600, prior to the higher offer made by Colonel Green. Colonel Green said he planned to retail a portion of the other stamps among his friends. It is predicted by philatelists that if the sheet proves to De tne only one In existence, out side the government ownership, the stamps will attain a philatelic value of $250 each.

I if a brief address President Womer saief'that Washburn had lost 200 stu dents this year on account of the war: that former graduates of the college hadjrecelved honorable appointments in government work, and that Wash burn was exceedingly proud of its reoof-d in patriotism, and especially, of its ffcar unit, the Washburn ambulance company. He announced that the Bnn'i of Trustees had definitely de cidaa to give up the Academy and substitute for it a high school to which students from outlying districts could go Without fees, except the amounts levtari on their school districts and palJty the districts at large. Mathews Explains Democracy. The address by Dean Mathews, who Is a celebrated speaker and writer and educator, now engaged in govern mental work, was enthusiastically re ceived by the audience. He spoke on the ieubject of American Ideals of Democracy. "Humanity," he said, "hasi not progressed as an entity, but by means of contributions from the various nations and groups of peo ples. We are accustomed to think of the United States as a new nation, but; it is a fact that our! government has existed without material change in form for a longer time than that of any other great country of the world. The influence or this nation among the people of the earth has been enormous, for it was thru that influ ence that France decided to try the democratic form of government. It was thus that we discharged a great part of our Revolutionary debt to mat nation. The democracy of the United States had its foundation in the Eng lish ideal of the rights of men. Our idea was the rights of Englishmen ex tended to become the rights of men. The thing that was new jin American democracy wtuj i ii men mat ties citizenship with the state. Amer ica projected that thought upon the world. The other nations, one by one, have begun to adopt it, and where it already existed, it has been extended thru our influence. German Rule Opposite. 'Along with that Ideal in the free world, has developed the opposite idea of an absolute autocracy, where the state consists of the king, the clergy and the nobles, and that ideal has found its most extreme development in Germany. Both systems have been carried out with perfect consistency. The Prussian system does not even recognize the United States as a na tion, and their provision for retain ing the loyalty of their immigrants to this country, to the Fatherland, while allowing them a local patriotism in this country, is the foundation stone of their propaganda for retaining the fealty in a national way, of their sub jects in other lands. To our mind, a man who becomes a citizen of our country and remains pledged to serve another nation is scoundrel." Compares Two Countries. Dean Mathews continued to show the opposte methods of dealing with other nations as exempnnea oy tne two opposing ideals of government. The United States, wherever it has acquired territory from other nations, has paid for it. "We paid Mexico fif teen million dollars for land acquired in the Mexican war; we paid Spain twenty millions for the Philippines; we remitted war indemnity to China, except for our actual expenses in the boxer troubles. Thus, when we have been victors, as we were in those cases we have paid the indemnity, in stead of wresting it from tne van quished country." The speaker went on to show that one of the greatest things at issue in this war1 is the rights of the small na tions, as well as the very existence of democracy. At the close of the address the au dience sang the Washburn Song. A piano number on the program was given by Miss Rebecca Adams. HE'S A BROKEN MAN Raymond Cottle Returns to Topeka Following Death of Wife and Child. Raymond Cottle, husband of Mrs. Nellie Cottle, who shot and killed her 11-year-old daughter, Joyce, and then shot and killed .herself at their apart ments at. 1207 Tyler street, Tuesday morning, is the picture of a broken man today. Cottle stands more than six feet in height and was the picture of a vigorous man. Upon his arrival in Topeka from Paola. where he was located. Cottle s .shoulders, drooped. his face was haggard and he was hardly recognizable to friends. Cottle called on Sheriff Hugh Lar imer today for his wife's rings and other personal effects gathered by Larimer the night of the tragedy. On the day a restraining order was served on Cottle by Larimer and he was taken from the home, Larimer noted the strange appearance of his wife and asked Cottle if she were well balanced. Larimer spoke of that this morning to Cottle. "Yes." said Cottle, "and the little girl told me two or three times lately that 'mamma didn't act Just right." I don't know what to think or say aDout it. FAVORS TAX BILL President Backs McAdoo Immediate Action. Would Force Congress To Thruout Summer. for Sit Washington. May 22. President Wilson regards a tax bill necessary at this session of congress. It was officially learned today that Secretary McAdoo, at a conference with the president yesterday, won the executive's approval of the proposed new revenue mea'aure. Decision of the president to support McAdoo's contention for a tax measure this session will probably result in early opening of work on the measure by house and senate committees. May Have Recesses. Congressional leaders believed that congress probably will recess from time to time while the committees are working thus enabling senators and representatives to get back home for pre-election campaigning and at the same time be on hand when the time comes for considering the meas ure. There is a distinct difference of opinion in President Wilson's cabinet regarding the need for a tax bill this session. Postmaster General Burleson has opposed the proposed action. AGREE ON INQUIRY Chamberlain Bill Laid Aside for a Substitute. President Wins in Fight Over Military Probe. Washington. Mav 22. With less than two minutes debate the threaten ed breach between President Wilson and the senate disappeared todav when by a viva voce vote an unrent able substitute was adopted in place of the Chamberlain resolution which the president contended was nothing less tnan a proposal to constitute the military affairs committee, a com mittee on the conduct of the war. benator Chamberlain said the com promise was satisfactory to him as it authorized the military committee and sub-committees to proceed not only with the aircraft and ordnance inves tigations but also to make any other inquiries regarding army operations The compromise pronounced accept able to the administration and de clared by Senator Chamberlain to be acceptable to him, was reached after prolonged conferences and merely proposes that any expenses incurred by the military committee for inves tigation previously authorized shall be paid from the contingent fund of the senate. It eliminates entirely the pro posed authority for a sub-committee to sit during the recess of congress. Original Bill Passed Up. By the adoption of the substitute, a vote on the original Chamberlain reso lution was avoided entirely. Presi dent Wilson plainly told senators he considered such a' vote practically a question of a vote of confidence. In private discussion of the senate's action today, both sides appeared in clined to regard the outcome as a vic tory but all were gratified that an open breach had been avoided with mutual satisfaction. Military committee men declared the substitute resolution gives the committee substantially the authority and funds it desired to proceed with the inquiries proposed, while admin istration leaders declared it denies power sought by the military com mittee to have sub-committees con tinue investigation during a recess of congress. Senator Chamberlain an nounced he hoped soon to announce the personnel of the sub-committees which will conduct the aircraft and quartermaster's inquiry.

All the Ships Needed Promised by Next Summer. New Brunswick. N. J., May 22. America is prepared to draft men from 18 to 60 years old if that becomes nec essary to win the war, declared Jose phus Daniels, secretary of the navy, in an address at the alumni dinner of Rutgers college. Daniels predicted that "before another summer we will have enough ships to carry not only a million, but millions to France, and enough destroyers to carry them in safety." Secretary Daniels said in part: "Al most every day I am called upon to give a name to a snip ana we are going to get them out faster. We are going to get out the greatest naval ships produced, the. destroyers on which men do not sleep for days and do hot eat except standing up. I have knowledge of one destroyer wnicn convoyed 177 ships safely and travers ed a million miles in six months. Keep Young Men in college. "Young men in college from 18 to 21 should stay in college until they reach the latter age. All the training they receive, mental and military, fits them for a larger service. "The day may come when, if neces sary, congress may change the age limit because men from 21 to 31 can not win the war. Then we will call on the men from 18 to 60 to win the war. "The great drive of the Prussians a month ago was made because the German emperor well knows that when America gets enough ships to carry over her forces, the end has come. When this war began we had only a handful but American can do anvthiner Then followed this promise of full carrying power before another sum mer. "There are 300.000 men in the navy now and there will be 400,000 soon They are enlisting so fast we have to ask them to stay at home for a few days until we can build new ships for themT" 1 NEGRO IS CHAMPION Charles Knight Holds World's Record for Driving; Rivets."

Chairman Hurley was informed that Lord Northcliffe had cabled his rep resentative in th.is country to pay the prize to Knight.

Chair man Hurley told of Knight's feat and added: "American ship yard workers wel come the friendly rivalry of British riveters and admire their cabled rec ords and sportsmanship." AUTO ST0LENH ERE Sheriff at Emporia Thinks he Has Car and Thieves. BY WEBB MILLER. Dublin. May 22. John Dillon, chairman of the United Irish League. issued a statement today declaring that the Nationalist members who have absented themselves from the British parliament for some time will return. "It has never been our Intention to absent ourselves permanently," Dillon said. "I can't say, however, just when we will return. Ireland has been thrown into confusion by the futile and mischievous proceedings of the government. To desert parliament would be adoption of the Sinn Feins' tactics. "I am extremely skeptical that the government will officially give home rule. I am neither in the councils of the government nor the Sinn Feiners.'- The manifesto issued by the anti conscription conference, which met at the Mansion house, denouncing the Sinn Fein arrests as an attempt to dis credit and disrupt Ireland's united re sistance to conscription and to preju dice Ireland's case in the eyes of friendly countries. Is regarded as sig nificant in tha tit clearly shows the unbending hostility and angry suspi cion against almost any governmental action. The organization's headquarters boasts that Sinn Fein companies are drilling in the more remote sections of the country. Several raids in an ef fort to steal arms and ammunition are reported. t There are rumors that the govern ment intends to confiscate the million dollars in the anti-conscription fund. As a result the Irish Independent ad vises local treasurers to take necessary measures to protect the money. The Herald says it would be a fatal mistake to jump at the conclusion that because a. month has elapsed, "the government has abandoned its nefari ous designs upon the manhood of the country." Prisoners Leave Dublin. Dublin, May 21. A further consign ment of Sinn Fein prisoners left Dub lin today on the way to England.

SCHEDULE IS ALL WRONG Mails So Late Banks jCharge Interest on Checks. Summer field People IVant Serv ice, "ot Excuses. The Kansas City Northwestern rail road Is having almost a much trouble a the Leavenworth Topeka road. Stories of the sorrows of the Kansas City Northwestern, as related to mem bers of the state public utilities com mission, would make strong men weep. The tale of woe of the Kansas City Northwestern stands somewhere near the top of the roll and is either a hor rtble example for the Leavenworth Topeka road or a keen competitor lor public sympathy. Members of the state commission returned todiy from Seneca, where they heard an application for addi tional train service from Seneca thru Summerfield to the switch track ter minal somewhere in Nebraska, There was no question but that Summerfield patrons made a strong showing. But hen the Kansas City Northwestern told its story, there was an almost peneral desire to ask the state leg Is'nture for an appropriation for re lief, v Special Traill Kfcrvlcc. Witnesses from Summerfield went to the hearing on a special train. But In ori'er to run the special train the road took an engine off a regular tinln. And in orer to deliver the dis pi untied Summerfield. delegation at t-e Prneca hearing. It was necessary to cancel the service of a rocrular train t'-at flny. As a result several farm ers with hoss and cattle and cord wood vere compelled to wait until the next d"y to make shipments to the market. Summerfield people testified that triin schedules were arranseB in f'-rh a manner that all trains Just r tssed connections. Consequently, it f metimes took, a week to send a let 1 r tn Kansas City or to receive one f om the mouth of the Kaw.

PLAN TOAID RUSS America Could Buy Up Prod ucts Germany Wants. Money Received, by Russians Would Help Them Out. BY CARL D. GROAT.' Washington, May 22. The state department has under consideration a definite plan of aid for Russia. It became known today that this contemplates a form of financial as sistance which, while helping Russia to struggle back to a place in the sun, would also foil Germany's grasp ing machinations. The department plan Is to furnish a vast quantity of money wherewith to buy up supplies in Russia, includ- i ing cotton, oil and other commodities much desired by Germany. Germany will seize them without pay if Amer- j lea does not step into the breach, ac- I cording to proponents of the measure. I With the money which America would pay for these supplies, Russia would have an opportunity to do much toward rehabilitation, it is urged. The plan has been given very care ful consideration, but has not yet been approved by Secretary Lansing. How ever, there is a possibility that with some modifications, it will be put into effect.

LINE MAY GIVE AT START Some Withdrawal Before Blow Is Expected. Hun Bombing and Shelling Continue at Times. BY FRED S. FERGUSON;. With the American Army in Pie ardy, May 22. Resumption of the German offensive may include this re gion. The enemy's persistent aerial activ ity, day and night, and the marked quietude of artillery fire may be the forerunner of the storm. The Boches have been particularly quiet during the past thirty-six hours, except aerially. The Germans have not dug in ex tensively in the Cantigny and Mont didier region, possibly indicating; that it is no part of their plan to establish their line there, "but rather to con tinue their effort to push on further. Line Slay Give a Utile. When the blow comes it is entirely possible that the allied line will give somewhat in a few places.. No sane man would attempt to take a blow f u II on the chest. He would lessen the force by drawing back his body, thus giving greater freedom to the re bound. The Boche aviators are taking des perate chances in an effort to cross the lines, to search for the tell-tale dust clouds along the American roads and photograph the towns ancrvarious positions. Six of the enemy's airmen flew over the American front line today and opened fire with their machine guns, trying to shoot down the men in the trenches. The latter responded with their rifles, and drove them off. Continue Shelling Towns. The Germans continue their night bombing and sporadic long-dista.nce shelling. They shelled a town far in the rear last night, killing two women and two children. The shell came from a distance of at least 22 kilo meters (13.6 miles). There were only occasional bursts of artillery fire today, however. From the rear German lines great clouds of dust arose marking the passage of wagons, automobiles and men along the roads. The hot sun poured down on the men in the trenches and gun positions. All the roads are extremely dry and dusty. FOR BIGGER SHIPS Four New Slips for 15,000 Ton Ves sels at Sparrows Point. Baltimore.

Corn Planting Nearly Complete Over Kansas Jiow. The report of the weather and crop conditions in Kansas for week enlti.g May 21, as issued by the section Cen ter of the weather bureau in Topeka, follows: Abnormally warm, dry, and windy weather prevailed over Kansas this week, with no rain heavy enough ?o do any good, except in a few of the extreme eastern counties and on the morning of the 21st in some of the northcentral counties. Rain is badly needed over the greater part of the state and must come soon if growing crops are not materially damaged. Wheat Hart bj Dry Weather. Wheat has deteriorated except in a few scattered localities. Over jnuch of the state, and especially in the northeast part, the lower leaves are turning yellow and unless rain falls soon it will be seriously damaged. It has practically all headed out in the extreme southwestern counties and heads are showing here and there to the Nebraska line in the eastern portion. In the great wheat produc ing counties in the central portion of the state it is in the boot and in the northwest is Jointing. Present indi cations are that harvest will begin lit the extreme southeastern counties the first week of June and by June 15 to 20 in the south-central portion and almost as fir north as the Kansas river valley, but not before July 1 in the northeastern and north-central portions. Rye has headed generally and will be ready to cut in another month in the eastern portion. Oats are hen.ling in the southern part, but are gen erally suffering on acount of the dry weather. Alfalfa cutting is general in the southeast. In the northeastern and central counties it is beginning in a small way. but will not be general for another week. The crop in the northeast will be considerably lighter than usual. Pasture is also short in many places. Corn Planting About Finished. Planting corn is about finished, ex cept in the extreme northwestern counties, where it will require another week. Germination is being delayed in many Places bv lack of moisture. In the southeastern part much of trie April planted corn has had to be re planted. Cultivation is beginning in the eastern part of -the state. Planting grain sorghums and cans is beginning in all parts of the state. Potatoes are generally reportel to be as big as marbles in the south east and in excellent condition in nil parts except the extreme western. Ir. the Kansas river ..valley they are be ginning to bloom. Rain at this time would benefit them greatly. Strawberries are rtppenmg in the southeast and-. blossoming in the northeast.

Struggle Against High Collars. Fastidious women are mounting their neckwear nearer and nearer the chin, but against their verdict is the struggle of the majority who will not accept uncomfortable, neck coverings tor uncommonly uncomfortable sum mers. We have gone so long with our necks free that we feet choked and murned when we extend our collars to the tips of our ears. It is no use pro testing that these collars are no longer tightly boned or that they do not grip the neck like a vise; the objectionable thing is in -the f eling of fabric around the jugular veins. It is. therefore, with the majority that the struggle goes on as to what, kind of open neck is best suited to the costumery of the hour.

Here and there. In the whirl of the centuries,- there arrives an epoch in fashion when the acces sory is important. We are facing that epoch now. The designers who led the public into the path of the complete costume from head to heels, to be worn as it was and untouched until- it dropped apart, call the new epoch one of makeshift clothes. Those who deal In women's ap parel do not care for a season In which parts of clothes are permitted to be assembled into a whole cos tume without regard for the artistic result. There are fastidious women who wllj always insist that a gown Pe eradicate. New York City.) has led women to change the color scheme of their clothes to refresh the eyes, and the fashion for the waistcoat has given them another opportunity to get a different material in opposition to the solid foundation of a suit or a frock. Now comes along the scarf as a col lar and waistcoat combined. One of the newest of these accessories is of tan silk jersey held in at the wa-stline by a black patent leather belt. Th" lower end" of the scarf is boldly em broidered In black and finished with deep tan fringe. It is not difficult to find the inspira tion for this scarf-waistcoat in one. It is a part of the trench cost imery. No one has yet brought into fashion the ugly helmets which our men wear in common with their associates in the war, but we have filched from them nearly all the other bits of military apparel that have been Invented to suit the emergencies of this modern war We have not worn the trousers, but we get the same silhouette in the nar row skirt, slightly bulging at the hips. and curving in to meet a pair of hign military gaiters buttoned to the calf of the leg. The Sam Browne belt is worked out by a -row of buttons tnat cross the front of the figure; deep, capacious pockets with flaps appear on coats, and coats take on the swag ger cut of those worn by the British. We have the capes of the Italian aviators, the raincapes of the French aviators, the high, laced boots of the men in other branches of the service, and we have even taken a violent fancy for colored silk handkerchiefs, in order to keep pace with the men we are sending abroad. Once upon a time, a woman would not use anything but a white handker chief. Now she buys them of silk, in khaki when they are to be of service, and in blue, pink, lavender and striped silks when they are to be tucked into the pocket of her straight, belted coat. The Trench Muffler. Thousands of women, have strug gled over the knitting of the trench muffler, so it is no wronder that they turn to it as a means of advancing a new fashion for themselves. It is this type of neck covering that has resolved itself Into a scarf of jersey silk which turns into a waistcoat at the bust and finds its best chance of ornamentation after It leaves the waistline. These mufflers are worn for beauty and not protection. They expose the neck and chest in a long V-shaped jljP When a young man calls on a young lady, he need not wait to be asked to remove his overcoat, he may do so at once. Questions Answered by AIH-la Hoyt. (Miss Hoyt will answer in this col umn all questions on matters of eti quette addressed to her in care of this paper. If a personal answer is de sired enclose a 3 -cent stamp.) SIDEE: When a young lady Is sud denly .deserted by the young man who has been attentive to her for a long time, she can do nothing but accept the situation with the best grace pos sible. You cannot ask an explanation of his conduct without lowering your self; and since the young man evi dently does not wish to go with you, it would do no good to try to re-establish your' present relations. You al ways have your pride to support you; you can present a calm and smiling face to the world; go about among your friends as usual; and never let anyone know how deep the hurt Is. A self respecting young woman could not act otherwise. L. E. R.: You would be very In considerate and discourteous if you should ask a young man to call upon you at the home of another girl, be cause she has a pleasanter and more attractive home than you have. She might not care to have you use the place as tho. It belonged to you; and you have no right to do so. It would be rank imposition. GET RID OF THAT FAT Free Trial Treatment oa Re qnest.

A Variety of. Colors. So fastidious a designer as Bulloi of Paris has sent to this country a gown which is demurely blue from collar bone to heels when worn on the street, and which, by a trick of un fastening a button at the neck, re veals itself as a half low house gown with a flicker of blue chiffon and sil ver lace to give it the ornamental touch needed for hours of gayety. When the French descended to such economy in apparel, we feel that the i tnougnt or tne world Is turned toward an elimination of multiple clothes, and j that we must depend upon one to serve many occasions. I Therefore, the accessories are ram pant, ana a tnousand women are pleas ed. The majority have always liked to pin on something, and the strict sever ity of dressing during the last decade has irritated many minds. Now the majority have free rein to run down inv pain, ui variety in wnaxever way they please. The neckline offers the greatest In ducement for variety. It miy be changed four times a day.

The rains last night up the Kansas river watershed will cause a rise in the river here amounting to about twelve feet. The three inch rain at Manhattan will be here by tomorrow morning and the heavy rainrall at Abilene and Beloit, which filled the Solomon bankful. should keep the Kaw up for several days. For a long time the river stage here has register ed the low mark of 3.8 feet, and the expected high water should be a great help in clearing out the channel and washing out stagnant places. The flood stage at Topeka is 21 feet, but the probability of that depth being reached is not considered. s Doctor Rhinehart, formerly of North Topeka but now living near Hays, Kan., stopped off today on his way to Chicago on a business trip, to visit with North side friends. Doctor Rhinehart, whose home is eight miles west of Hays, saw the cyclone which devastated the surrounding country. He said the funnel-shaped cloud could be plainly seen, dipping and rising. When dipping, the point of the funnel swept the ground, sucking up everything in its path. v When the cloud rose, it spread out and passed over the country without doing harm: then it would form in a funnel shape and descend. Many persons took refuge in cy clone cellars and caves. One family had just entered their cave when the roof was blow off. Immediately after a disc was blown across the cave, this in turn followed by a large har row. Only the small size of the cave, six feet square, saved the machinery from dropping in upon them. A large amount of livestock was killed, one farmer losing 200 head of sheep.

Dale, of Wichita, wants Kansas Democrats to nominate either ,P. W. Goebel, ot Kansas City, or Senator W. F. Benson, of dorado, for governor. Neither of the widely known Kansans are candidates. Neither will voluntarily run. Judge Dale, however, wants the draft applied this year both In politics and war. So he has started the Goebel or Benson boom in Topeka a week in advance of the state-wide Democrat conven tion. Both Goebel and Benson are promi nent Kansas bankers, are widely known in political circles and have been active in war work. Goebel, one of the most prominent Kansas City bankers and former head of the American-- Bankers' association, is now giving almost his entire time to war activities. On the other hand Senator Benson, who retired a little more than a year ago from the state bank com missioner's office, has devoted his en tire time to work on the second dis trict appeal board. "Kansas Democrats need a man at the head of the state ticket who will give the ticket standing in the cam paign," said Judge Dale. "Either Pete Goebel of Kansas City or Senator W. F. Benson of El Dorado would prove ideal candidates. I know that neither of these men wants the nomi nation. I know they wouldn't think of running as an ordinary proposition. But this is a time for strict exercise of the draft. It has been lnvalur.ble in selecting an army. It ought to be just as valuable in naming men for state offices.

Washington, May 22. Every rail way manager, the responsibilities of which heretofore have been theoreti cal, was relieved from active duty as executive manager of his road by Di rector General McAdoo, who will ap point a federal director for each rail road, responsible, only to the railroad administration. In many cases the president of the road may be federal director. To safeguard the interests of stockholders and maintain the in dividuality of each railway, federal di rectors whenever possible will be ap pointed from among the operating of ficers of the property, the director general announced. This will avoid disrupting any road's working organ ization unnecessarily. As another step in the reorganiza tion of the railroad agreement, the di rector general ordered the creation of two new operating districts the Alle gheny region, consisting of the prin cipal trunk lines east of Pittsburg, ex cluding the New York Central, man aged by C. H. Markham, now regional director for the south, and the Poca hontas district, consisting of the east and west trunk lines terminating at nampion xtoaas. The first act of the director iron eral in executing this new policy was removal or J. w. Huntington, president of the Virginian railway, as chief operating officer, on the charge that he failed to carry out promptly the railroad administration's instruc tions regarding the renair nnH main tenance of his line. This was thought a lorerunner 01 similar disposi tions of a number of -other railroad presidents, but announcement of the plan for wholesale replacement of railway presidents by federal direc tors came as a surprise. May Cut Salaries. It was said here a large propor tion of present presidents w;ii be named to manage their own proper ties, particularly whenever he is the most active operating officer, but in all these cases the presidents will be required to resign their official posi tions with their companies and to be come executive representatives of the United States railroad administration. Consequently their salaries will be paid by the government, and they can receive no pay from the railway corporations. As an indication of what salaries they may expect it be came known that most of Mr. MeAdoo's principal assistants will re ceive not more than $15,000 i -rear. For most of them this is much" less than they received as officers or executives of railroads under private management. Railroad presidents who now man age their own operations and who iave had good relations with the railroad administration will be retained in most cases, it is understood. The vice oresi- dent who is general manager wll be considered the next most logical man. The appointment of federal directors will be made as quickly as possible and meantime the present method of ciian agement will be continued. Recom mendation of regional directors will be sought In all cases. The elimination of presidents as operating officers will have the effect of cutting off allow ance of their salary from operating revenues and compel companies to pay the salaries from the funds they get from the government as compensation for lease of their roads or from ether sources of railway income. Presidents' salaries now run as high as $100,000. it is understood, and many receive be tween $40,000 and $50,000. ZUMWALT AT HEAD Bonner Springs Editor Is President Washburn Alumni Body. Imri Zumwalt, of Bonner Springs, a Washburn college graduate, was elect ed to the presidency of the Washburn college Alumni association, which held a business meeting late Tuesday after noon. The seniors had their class day ex ercises in the afternoon, when the ivy planting ceremony took place 'at Rice hall. The program in the chapel afterwards consisted of a dramatic recognition of the Washburn service flag by some of the seniors, whistling imitation of bird calls by Miss Flor ence Fair and Miss Hazel Swogger, and a farce "O Happy Day." At the alumni banquet, 115 covers were laid. Dr. P. P. Womer, presi dent of Washburn, made a short ad dress, and Mr. Zumwalt read a letter from Dr. C. H. Lerrigo, of the Wash burn Ambulance company. He also gave an orginal poem dedicated to the boys of the company. MATH. TEACHERS SCARCE Kansas Needs 1,200 Instructors' for Higher Branches and Physics. Manhattan, Kan May 2 2. That the war has brought Kansans face to face in the army, in the industries, and in the schools with new mathe matical and physical problems, is npinted out by A. E. White, associate professor of mathematics in the Kan sas State Agricultural college. "The subjects of mathematics and physics must be taught not merely in a formal way, but with a definiteness and understanding heretofore unat tained." said Professor White. There is an unusual demand for .efficient teachers of these subjects. In the past, the major portion of all high school classes in mathematics and physics has been taught by men. Many of them have been or will be called into the service of their coun try and a new supply of teachers must be developed to fill the vacant posi tions. There are approximately 1,200 teachers of mathematics and physics needed in Kansas and the supply of teachers is inadequate." DUTY WAS FIRST Red Cross Was Ready "When German Drive Came. It Cared for Refugees and Fighting Men Alike. EVER IN THICK OF DANGER Retreated' and Worked at the Same Time. New Line Established When Drive Was Stopped. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From the columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Washington, May 22. How the Red Cross relief organization in France met the crisis thrust upon it by the recent great German offensive, nrVion it linen vers driven back to gether with those of the French and British armies, is one of the inspir ing stories of that greatest of world's battles. Caught suddenly on the edge of the vast conflict and in dan ger of being overwhelmed by the great number of refugees and wound ed soldiers fleeing before the German onrush, the Red Cross relief army, too, was compelled to fall back and, while maintaining its organization and preserving its supplies, had to give every possible aid to the refugees and soldiers. Just as the German drive tested the resources of the allies, so, indirectly, it tested every relief organization. It was necessary to connect the relief work under a field general, to keep the transportation lines between all the various stations of the Red Cross in the field connected, to work on a big plan so that the work instead of decreasing could grow. Refugees in Throngs. Compiegne is where field head quarters have been established. As the most advanced Red Cross workers withdrew from their posts, reinforce ments were sent from the rear. When the first reconnoitering party arrived there, they found that there was work to do helping the refugees with whom the roads were crowded. Back they dashed to Paris to give the word. And back again to Compiegne with orders and supplies. But the refugees were no longer alone in the roads. There were soldiers also. Tho the first plan had been to help the refugees at this point, the assistance was also turned over to the soldiers. The Red Cross men arrived for their second visit to Compiegne on a moonlight night. Uncouth German aviators were flying low and their machine guns were beating a tattoo on the town while from time to time a bomb" dropped. As one man said while his car sped thru the moonlight. There was just a piece of canvas be tween me and hell." A bomb had dropped on three army trucks "standing close together. Their gasoline tanks exploded and a flame shot up thru the clear night light. Compiegne was not a pleasant place that night. But the relief workers were stuck there in spite of machine guns and bombs. Finally they found the hotel which had been abandoned and taken over as emergency Red Cross headquarters. Now Well Established. J. So the line drew back from Beau vais to Soissons and with the field or ganization establishing itself solidly and calmly. Fine work is being done at Beauvais and the movement of sup plies is now fully organized. The ref ugees problem has only begun for the Red Cross, because that organization i. ,i,a (ntanfinn rf fcllntxHn? trie great body of the refugees to theii Iinal aestinaxions lurxner auuin &iiu continuing to help them. The Red Cross kept its field organ ization intact but some warehouses and construction work was destroyed. The stores were partly saved and part ly given over to the soldiers to take, the rest being. burned so that the bar barians should not benefit by them. Every one worked his hardest and the drivers especially deserve the highest praise. The spirit ot the armies caught hold of all the other workers. The refugees were resigned but un complaining and thruout these twelve ays 01 crisis a spirit was snown oy all concerned that should teach even the Germans that tho they may have taken some territory they have not conquered one bit of the spirit of the allies. May 1SB3. Ex-General Manager A. A. Robinson of the Santa Fe, now receives a salary .of S35.00U as president of the Mexican Cen tral. He was originally offered $25,000, but he was a little slow In accepting and the directors increased their offer $10,000. His salary as general manager of tbe au Fe was only $15,000. George R. Peck's salary has been In creased since the first of January from $15,000 to $25,000, so says the Kansas City star, and he has made a five years' con tract, dating from March of this year, and will stay in Chicago at least that long.

TO DISCUSS PRISONERS American Agreement With Germany on Matter Is Hoped For. Washington, May 22. State depart ment officials were confident today that Germany will answer favorably the American request for an open American German conference at Berne on the prisoner question. This confidence was inspired by the fact that such conferences had already been held between Germany and England, France and Italy, the latter conference being only recently completed. The department decided it was best to be frank in announcing its request, lest the session get under way and be distorted in Swiss press, accounts as a "secret peace meeting."
