HOME EDITION ANNOUNCE THAT 800,000 TROOPS ARE IN FRANCE Chief of Staff Gives Oat Army Figures. Ships Are Only Limitation to Numbers. GAS CAUSED RECENT DEFEATS Allies Prepare to Meet These Gas Attacks. Says Allies Need Men to Hold Lengthened Line. Washington, June 15. More than 800.000 American troops have been sent to France and the government expects to have a million there by July 1. This disclosure was made today by Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of stall, at his first weekly conference with newspaper correspondents and at an earlier conference of war department officials with members of the senate military committee. Includes All Branches. The 800.000 figure Includes all branches of the service necessary to make up a complete army, both com batant and non-combatant units, G3n eral March said." All war department flstures regarding troops sent across will be given out on this basis. Must Vse American Troops. General March summarised The bat tle situation as it stands today with inr distinct phases of the great Ger man offensive halted, but with its final battles still to come. To meet the emergency, he added, only lack of shipping facilities Is limiting the rush of American troops to the fight ing front. Their prompt engagement in the struggle, he said, is a. para mount necessity. Germans Try to Straighten Lines. The newspaper conference was held In the rooms of the war council. On the walls were great maps showing the t attle fronts and as General March talked, he pointed to the rows of colored pins that marked each pVase of the fighting. He said that sll four of the German drives thus fnr have had a common ob.iect and have been only developing phases of the German purpose to drive their wav to the channel ports, primarily, end secondarily, to capture Paris. The f-bting of the last week, in the Oise 'me salient, he demonstrated, was doslf-ned to stra'ghten out the German l'Mtla front, rathr than a blow at a direct oMective like Paris. Further o-ernt'ons of this nature, It was In dented, are anticipated before the drl' e toward the channel can be re sumed. Allied I.ln- Stretched 0 Miles. T'p to the present time the bulge the Germans have made in the allied line has added sixty-six miles of front to the allied lines from Bheims to the sea and large numbers of additional allied forces have been absorbed into the work of holding the lines. This makes it urgent, said General March, thrt American forces be rushed for ward without delay. General March would make no pre diction as to when American aid might give the allies superiority of numbers again. The time and size of movement of enemy divisions from the east to the west, he said, could not be estimated, nor could a day be fixed when the allies would have the "mas tering superiority or nuniDers wmcn will eventually d tneirs. The Italian front situation was not discussed, and General March indi cated that the Russian problem was still political rather than military and, therefore, not within his field of re view. Gas Broke Allied Lines. American military experts are agreed, senators said after the confer ence; that the present German drive had been stopped, for the present at least, but Its renewal, possibly with its force directed more largely against positions held by the Americans, is expected. The enemy's recent suc cesses, the senators were told, was due alrgeiy to new uses of gas. The allies. It was said, soon will be ready to cope with new forms of gas attack. Gas masks How In use, the senators were told, admittedly are not useful against soma forms of German gas, particularly mustard gas. A special "tear" gas for use against artillery, the senators were told, has been dupli cated by the Germans. The allies, officials said, are prepar ing to match the German efforts In the use of gas and provide for com plete defense of their forces as far as possible before the next attack of the enemy develops. General March took occasion to cor rect the impression that the German advance has at some points gone be yond the points reached In 1914. He pointed out on the map that at no point during the present offensive had the Germans come closer to Paris than within 20 H miles of the farthest advance they made In 1914 toward that city.

With the American Army in France, Friday, June 14. The first raid by an American bombing squadron behind the German lines was accomplished with successful and satisfactory re sults, the Americans performing like veterans. Some of the observers had been on similar flying missions with French or British pilots and they knew I exactly how to gauge accurately the (all of the bomDs. As they made their start for Ger- many the bombing planes received quite an ovation A number of French and British .aviators and officers and a large number of American fliers cheered them from the flying field as they came racing down the grass, tilted upward and then turned north toward the enemy's lines. Guns Gave Hot Reception. The German anti-aircraft battlers gave them a hot reception as thev l"?!? extremely tame compared to what mey underwent as they approached Dommar-Baroncourt. Two of the American planes, lead ing the squadron, became particular targets of the anti-aircraft guns. They twisted and dived under a heavy shrapnel fire u til they arrived over their objective, a railway Junction and the surrounding building three miles below. Flew in Single File. The commanding officer of the unit was in the leading plane as observer and it sped over the objective first, the commander releasing his bombs. At the same time he signalled to the other machines which followed in a nearly straight line. Circle of Smoke Around Junction.

Arriving at the starting point, the aviators were showered with congratulations on the result of their first bombing trip by their envious comrades. Badge for Recalled Men. Washington, June 1 5.

UNION LABOR IN im m a i-i KANSAS liALLtU TO HARVEST DUTY President Urges Memhers to Join "Pitchfork Brigade." "Save Wheat That World May Haye Freedom Forever." CUTTING ON IN RJLL BLAST Crop in Southern Part of State Already in Shock. Weather Favorable and Grain Has Matured Perfectly. Wichita, Kan., June 15. In harvest call" to organized labor of Kansas, issued today, A. J. Johnson, of Wichita, president of the Kansas State Federation of Labor, urges workmen to "Join the pitchfork brigade of your locality, help to save the wheat and other crops and win the war for the democracy of the world, and we shall have 'freedom for all, forever.' "The weather conditions have been ideal, and it is estimated that of wheat alone there will be something like 98.000.000 bushels, and oats, alfalfa and corn will yield abundantly," the call says. Farmers Must Have Help. Mr. Johnson says despite the heroic and patriotic duty the farmers, their wives and laborers are doing, they cannot alone do the immense task of harvesting these foods for our brave soldiers, our allies and the people at home. With wheat cutting in full blast In Oklahoma and Kansas at this time, and with most of the acreage in the shock In Oklahoma and southern Kan sas, the crop bids fair to be one of the largest In the history of these two states. Grain Matured Perfectly. The harvest weather was never more favorable and the wheat has matured almost perfectly. The threshing problem has been solved in most communities by the dis tribution of Innumerable small thresh ing outfits which are operated by pow er tractors and' farmers are already organised for: the operation of these outfits. Despite the depletion of farm help on account of the war farmers wece never better organized to take care of their crop. WILL MODJFY ORDER Exemptions Will Be Made In Charging Cash for Freight. General order No. 25. providing that the collection of transportation charges on all railroads under government control shall be on a cash, basis, is to be amended to exempt county and city institutions, according to a telegram received late Friday by E. L. Cope land, secretary-treasurer of the Santa Fe. Nothing is. said in the telegram concerning state institutions, but it is believed by local officials that the amendment will include them. Copeland had sent a telegram pro testing against the order, saying it would be impossible for these institu tions to pay cash, because of the pres ent system of appropriating money for th ?ir use.

U INFANTRY ACTION FRIDAY Berlin Claims 1,059 Guns Taken Since May 27. Italians Break Up All Austrian Attacks. .4? (By tbe Associated Press.) Allied strategy and tenacity In com, bat again have checkmated blows by massed bodies of German troops and the German crown prince has given up his second offensive within a month without either of them having affect ed seriously the general situation on the western front. Except for artil lery duels a lull has come to the fight ing sectors, but a new enemy assault la expected soon. In the offensive which began last Sunday the Germans used large masses of troops on a short front. For three days they gained ground and were rapidly forcing their way southward along the Aisne. French resistance stiffened and then the French took. me oiiensive. German erforta to strike south of the Aisne and reach the Oise south of Complegna -also failed after a slight gain. Friday there was no infantry fight ing of moment anywhere along tha front from Ypres to Rheims, which la now the vital section of the western lins. The Germans made no further attempts and are probably reforming the divisions shattered by the French resistance of the last week. South of the Somme. and between the Aisne and the Marne the artillery fire has been above normal, but there are no indications that the Germans a.e prepared to renew their offensive on either sector. Military observers, believing the Noyon-Montdldler effort was a feint to occupy the allies, ex pect that tha heaviest blow yet will come soon on the Picardy field with the enem again attempting to ep- reach the coast. Berlin reports the- number of guua captured since May 21 by the crown prince as 1,050. In the latest offensive the 'Germans gained 180 square miles of territory and captured 15,000 pris oners and 150 guns, the poorest show ing In any of the four major move ments since March 21, While the American infantry has been inactive on all sectors, Ameri can aviators on the Toul front l.ave been bombing towns behind the Ger man lines The first American bomb ing raid was against Dommary-Baron-eoiirt- no-'theant of Verdun, on Wed nesday. This was followed Friday by an other incursion on which seventy-nine bombs were dropped on Conflans, a, railway Junction midway between Metz and Verdun. On both occasions the Americans returned safely despite efforts of enemy airplanes and anti aircraft guns. Italian troops have checked suc cessfully enemy attempts to force a passage thru the important Tonal pass northwet of Trent. Two attacks by Austrian Infantry were broken up by the Italian defense and 130 pris oners captured. Tonale pass is Just north of La Bnsazza, where the Ital ians recentlv gained a commanding r height and the Vermiglio valley has passes thru It. The remainder of the Italian jfront Is quiet.

HE TOPEKA DAILY ST ATE, JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1918 2 RATTLE SABRES German Fleet Makes Noise Like Fight. Fills Air With Fake Wireless Orders. Washington. June 15. The German fleet Is sending out alarms, two and three times a week and sometimes oftener. Intending to worry the American-allied fleet to a belief that the Teutons are coming out to battle. Send Out Fake Wireless Orders. With a great clatter of wireless, the big ships buzz back and forth in their locked-in-harbor. Orders, indicating preparations for a dash, snap out over a considerable period. The Amerlean allied fleet picks these tip and can distinguish between signals of battle Bhipa and smaller craft. Keep Allied Navies Keyed Cp. These facts developed from an offi cial source today. The result of these constant alarms Is to keep the vatchers keyed up to an expectant prepared pitch. Americans Would Take Part. American craft now operating In European waters will play an impor tant part if any sea action does event ually develop. Hindenburg is under stood to be still pressing his colleagues to undertake e sea offensive as the backing for his land efforts. It is recognized that such an attempt by the German fleet would probably indi cate a last desperate gamble. Tho United States and Britain are progressing favorably with anti-submarine work. The confident list of known "gets," probable sinkings and possible sinkings on file with the navy department shows an increasing num ber of the flrot class. The boldness of U-boat Operations off the American coast is cause for some anxiety, but the round-up oper ations are believed Jikely to be event ually successful. SOLVE GERMAN ATTACK Recent Fighting Shows French Knows How to Meet It. BY J. W. T. MASON. New York, June 15. General Foch has solved the new problems of de fense created by Von Hindenburg's V loody strategy of reckless attack. The defeat of the Germans before Com piegne means primarily that Hinden burg can no longer hope to make large gains In western France without Gen eral Foch's consent. The channel ports have been saved at Compiegne. Hindenburg revealed all his new tricks in the Compiegne drive and could not advance. Gen eral Foch Is as fully prepared along the Picardy and Flanders fronts ac he was between Morrtdidier and Noyon, And Calais and Boulogne are now as secure behind the one line as Com piegne has proven itself to be behind the other. The German effort to reach Com nicgne contained all the essential mil itary problems that must be Involved in any new offensive having the chan nel ports as its objective. General Foch now knows the worst Hlnden biir can do when the element of aur. prise Is eliminated from a German attack. A slight gain In territory, at i terrible cost to the Germans in casual ties, is the best Hindenburg can hope for under this condition. The essential difference between the German offensive toward the Marne aand the drive for Compiegne is that the former was a surprise and the latter was not. The surprise ele ment In the Marne advance was due to the necessary concentration of al lied forces In Picardy and Flanders. This very concentration now makes it Impossible that Hindenburg can make an unexpected attack anywhere along the line protecting the roads to the channel. A German effort to reach Amiens or Hazebroutk can, therefore, be no more than a duplicate of the drive for Compiegne. General Foch is pre pared for It. In that fact Is the high est assurance that Hindenburg cannot isolate France in part, by the cap Jure of Calais and Boulogne. Hinden turg undoubtedly realizes the terrible consequences of his failure to capture Compiegne. In the midst of its final struggle for victory, the German war machine has broken down. When the element of secrecy vanishes, the ma chine does not work. If Hindenburg tries again, self-confidence will be lacking. That means the Germans' final defeat. WOMAN IN THE RACE Winifred Jfeptune of Salina May Run for legislature. Miss Winifred Neptune of Salina, may be a candidate for the Republi can nomlaatlon for representative from Saline county this year. She has made a tentative announcement of her candidacy and may file for the office sometime in the next week. She Is the second woman candidate for the legislature In Kansas this year. Recently Mrs. Minnie Grlnstead of JJberal. announced for the legislature from Seward county. She will be candidate in the Republican prima ries, as will Miss Neptune. The Sallna woman Is a daughter of Dr. Neptune, well known Sauna physician. MUSTA!DFAMILY One Class 4 Man In Kansas Forgot Now He's in Class 1.

EADS AMERICAN ACES Putnam Supplants Baylies with Record of IS Unn Planes. Paris, June 15. Sergeant David E. Putnam of Brookline, Mass., is re ported to have downed five Germans on June 10. Three ol mtnaim aenai victories now are official and the nther two are under Investigation. This record, if the five victories are oril- cially accredited, makes Putnam's to tal 13, supplanting Lieut. frame .Bay lies of New Bedford, Mass., as the American ace of aces. The feat accredited to sergeant Putnam is the most notable performed by an American aviator and has prob able been eclipsed only once during the war. The only other aviator get ting a larger bag of enemy airplanes a single day is Lieut. Rene. roncK, a French ace, who on May 9 brought down six German machines. 366 TO HARVEST Topeka Is Responding liberally to Call for Farm Help. Tooeka has already sent 366 men to the harvest fields, according to a report submitted to E. E. Frizell, stat-. farm labor agent, by A. D. Fol ker, county farm agent, i In addition, Topeka is prepared to send 409 experienced stackers to the grain belt: 664 experienced shockers and 702 Inexperienced shockers. In Shawnee county twenty-four cars have been volunteered for use In the twilight harvest to transport labor to and from tne nearoy nciuo. fifty-one cooks from Topeka will pre pare food for harvest hands some where In the state. It is expected tha the harvest will be on in full bla3t by the latter, part of next week. NO FOOD CHANGE Cnnt1nnedfromFngs Jne.l southern Missouri. jNeDrasK Iowa come next. Important changes In marketing re strictions are expected in view of the billion bushel crop. Grain has beer, allocated to the mills by the federal grain corporation to prevent any mil ler piling up reserve stocks when the country was snort. Grain speculators are now bringing strong pressure on Hoover to drop the bars on speculation. Hoover has refused appeals to throw open the Chicago wheat pit to speculation again. Millers, however, may be permitted to buy wheat freely with the one lim itation that they hold flour prices to a stated maximum. Farmers are guar anteed a minimum basic' price of $2.20 a bushel but millers would be permit ted to bid against each other for wheat if present restrictions are reiaxea. Small millers might be crowded out in the Jam with large concerns scram bling for wheat. No miller with cap ital is expected to again let his wneat reserves become exhausted if the gov ernment will let him buy freely. ONLY SOLUTION (Continued from preceding psge.) much time in Russia. He has seen Russian leaders raise a flag under German intrigue. He has seen loyal Russians flock to It thinking it was a banner of freedom. He has seen these loval Russians slaughtered like cattle by German hordes and the leaders were spared. With the stars ana stripes it wouia be different," Thompson said today durine a short stay here en route to Japan tor the New York World and Leslie s Weekly. "Good true Russians know that America s flag could not be stained with German intrigue. They know that America means business. They know that America would be there for no other, purpose than to de feat Germany ana free Russia. They know that they would be well armed, well cared for, well led, and well pro vided in a campaign against Ger many. Millions of Russians would take this opportunity to place their all into a cause that would relieve them of the German yoke." 1 No Need for Japan. Donald Thompson isn't In favor of Japan getting into the Russian affair at this time. "There is nothing in it for Japan," he explained. "Japan must see her way clear to enlarge her own resources instead of diminishing them. She can not afford to sacrifice men and muni tions when she knows that after it is over Bhe has nothing to show for it. On the other -hand Japan could aid America in ships, munitions, railways, transportation and equipment of all kinds and still not be a red flag to Russian suspicion." Thompson's Book Popular.

Exempts Irishmen and Austral ians in the United States from ap plication of the draft Makes British and Canadians in the United States between 20 and 44 years of age subject to draft un less they enlist Makes .American subjects in Great Britain and Canada; between 21 and SI years of age subject to draft unless they enlist Provides that, in event of future extension of the draft laws in either country, its new provisions shall be respected by both nations. Washington. June 15. Details of a treaty with Great Britain, which be came known, today, disclosed that it required a formal exchange of notes between the United States and Great Britain to settle questions relating to application of American draft age lim its to Americans in Great Britain and Canada. y The British military service acts, which govern the operation of the treaty, would make all Americans in Great Britain or Canada between 18 and 49 liable to draft into the British army. But in ftie notes, exchanged by Lord Reading and Secretary Lans ing, it is agreed that the United States may, claim exemption for its citizens under 21 and over 81. Text of Principal Article The text, of Article One. 'the nrin- cipai article in tne treaty, reads: Ail maie citizens or the United States in Great Britain and all male British Subjects in the United States. shall, unless before the time limited by this convention thev enlist or en roll in the forces of their own country or return to the United States or Great Britain, respectively, for the nurnose of military service, be subject to mili tary service ana entitled to exemption or discharge therefrom under the laws and regulations from time to time in force, -of the country in- which they are. provided, that In respect to Brit ish subjects In the United States the ages for military servl-e shall be. for the time being,' 20 to 44, years, both inclusive; iiifj v.ieu, jiowever, lost no citizen of the United States in Great Britain and no British subject in the United States who before proceeding to ureat Britain or tne united states, respectively, was ordinarily eelden In a place of the possessions' of the United States or in His Majesty's do minions, respectively, where the law does not impose compulsory military service, shall, by virtue of this con vention, be liable to military service under the laws and regulations of Great Britain or the United States, re spectively; provided further, that In tee event of compulsory military serv ice belna: applied to any part of His Majesty's dominions in which military service at present is not compulsory, British subjects, who berore proceed ing to the United States were ordinar ily resident in such part of His Majes ty's dominions shall, thereupon, be in cluded within the terms of this con vention. Following are the notes, exchanged between Secretary Lansing and Am bassador Reading, which determined the application of the American age limits to American citizens subject to draft in Great Britain and Canada. Reading' Note, .'"With reference to the military con vention between the United States and Great Britain, signed today, I am in structed by His Majesty's government to explain why the proviso to Article One does not limit the military service of citizens of the United States In ureat .Britain to those of the ages specified In the laws of the United States. The reason for the omission of this clause In the proviso is a de sire to avoid the delay that would be involved in modifying the military sexvice acts of 1916 to 1918 which control the operation of any conven tion or tnis character. I beg you therefore, will be good enough not to press this proposal. The effect of these acts is to make United States citizens In Great Britain under this convention liable to military service between the ages of eighteen and fortv-nine in. elusive. The limitation of the ages of united states citizens In Great Brl tain for the -pumose of militarv serv. Ice to those prescribed !nthe laws of tne united States may. however, be attained without amendment of these acts by exercise by the United States or its rignts or exemption under Art! cle Three. His Majesty's government understand, therefore, that the United States government will exercise their rignt to exempt rrom compulsory serv ice all citizens of the United States In Great Britain outside the apes Rnof-I. fied in the laws of the United States prescribing compulsory military service." Lansing's Reply. To which Lansing replied in part: "I have the honor to i inform vour excellency that the government of the United States is pleased to accept this explanation of Article 'One and In lieu of a clause in this article limiting the military service or Citizens or the United States in Great Britain to those of the ages specified in the laws of the United States prescribing military service, to exercise its rights under Article Three to exempt all citizens of the United States in Great Britain outside of the ages specified in the laws of the United States." Exemption Rights Article. Article Threa. of the treaty, upon which hinges th question of exemp tion rights, follows. "The government of the United States and His Britannic Majesty, may thru their respective diplomatic rep resentatives, issue certificates of ex emption from military service to cit izens of the united states in ureat Britain and British subjects in the United States, respectively. v "Such certificates may be special or eeneraL temporary or conditional and may- be modified, renewed or revoked in tne discretion or me government granting them."

Continued It was unknown to most of the customers on the pipeline system, but the heavy rains in this section May 6 and 7 caused pipeline washouts at four places. It was Just such- a run of bad luck as sometimes causes interruptions of service in rne winter When every foot of gas Is in demand. And, as in cases like that, the trouble came from .causes entirely beyond the control of the or-' ganlzation. So cleverly did the pressure dispatcher's office handle the gas supply for the forty-eight hours following the breaks, that service went on undisturbed in most of, the cities on the pipelines. With three fields entirely cut off, other fields were drawn on more -heavily, emergency lines were utilized and compressing stations pushed to capacity.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15. 1918 SAYS SUBMARINE RAID ON AMERICA IS ONLY A BLUFF British First Sea Lord Com ments on 'ew "Blockade." Believes Only One U-Boat Is Operating Here. WOULD 'FRIGHTEN AMERICA Germans Seek to Draw U. S. Craft From Europe. Allies .Must Centralize Jfaval "ts. London, June 15. German sub marine activity off the Atlantic coast of the I'nited States should not be taken seriously, as the Germans prob ably will not attempt a blockade of the American shores. This Is the opinion of Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Weymss. first sea lord of the British admiralty. The admiral believes there Is only one submarine operating off the American coast and that the purpose of its trip across the Atlantic was to frighten the Ameri cans. German ruthlessness at sea, the first sea lord declared, must be met by centralized warfare in the North sea and the Mediterranean Praises American Navy. Admiral Weymss paid tribute to the co-operation of the American naval forces in European waters. He said the American ships not only were rta tioned in the north, but were also op erating in the Mediterranean and off Gibraltar. The first sea lord was bending over a table nt work when the Interviewer entered the room. He had cast aside his coat and waistccat owing to the heat cf the afternoon, the winlows wre open and there was about the admiral a fresh-air atmosphere. Ha Id Only a Klnff. 'This development should not be tal:en very seriously," he said In reply to a general Inquiry as to what im portance he attached to the German sinking of shipping oft the American const. If I were inclined to bet, I should say there has not been more than one submarine off the American coast. I may be wrong but that is the impres sion I have formed. That conclusion fits in with mr interpretation of the enemy's object. Cannot Blockade American Coast. "The Germans cannot hope to maintain anything In the character of a blockade. The distance is too great fro:n their bases. "The enemy has merely made a demonstration with the hope of caus ing us to decentralize our efforts to put down the submarine. His object is to frighten the American people in the hope that they may exert their Influence on their naval authorities. Allies Must Centralize Forces. "You will remember that Napoleon declared that 'excluslveness of purpose is the secret of great successes and of great operations.' Now if the Ger mans could cause a dispersal of naval forces, this demonstration off the American coast would achieve its pur pose. "I hold firmly to two principles. As chief of the staff I believe firmly In decentralization in administration, but as cnief of staff I also believe as firmly in the centralization of effort agtl. st the enemy. "Glance at an ordinary school atlas If you have not got what the Germans would catfl a 'war map' handy. You will observe that the centra powers have formed a block In Europe run ning down frrm the North sea to the Adriatic and to the point where the Dardanelles debouches into the Medi terranean. "Any submarine to reach the Ameri can coast, has to pass either to th3 north or south of the British Isles or along the Mediterraneans where Gibraltar stands sentinel over the narrow exits.

Ve must fight the U-boat in the nar row seas, in other words, we must cen tralize, concentrating all our forces in hat is really the decisive area. "The Germans you may be sure have been studying the charts and in send ing one of their so called submarine cruisers to the American coast they thought to raise an outcry in the Unit ed Stntes against the policy which is now being pursued of fighting the submarines in the narrow seas. "Well, I judge both from official In formation and cable dispatches in the newspapers that they have already failed In their purpose.

The French still bar the road to Compiegne and the German losses are terrific. That is a summary of the battle after four days of fight ing, unparalleled in intensity. On the left the ally counter stroke has thrust the enemv back almost to the line where the attack began, despite the fact that they encountered extremely heavy forces which were themselves massed for a new blow. At one point the attacking French met 40,000 Germans on a two-mile front and drove thru them irresitibly. Something akin to panic appeared to seize the enemy. Gun teams were ob served hurriedly removing pieces far in the rear of the scene ''of action. Here the left merges with the cen ter. We recovered important posi tions, everywhere carpeted with heaps of German dead. In the center Ger man attempts to reach the valley of the Aronde, by which to push toward Compiegne, have been defeated. In the Matz valley, further east, the heights south of Chauvincourt still presents an impassable barrier. Assaults Are Crushed. Fiom one bar, a hijl. where William of Flavy, governor of Compiegne in the time of Joan of Arc, had his cas tle, French guns are tearing assault after assault to pieces. That already the German tactics has seriously miscarried, is evident. Not only have the losses been appalling. town. It also has been known for some time that there are American ships In the Mediterranean. I do not think it can be regarded as a secret from the Germans that American men of war are also acting against the enemy of Gibraltar." Work In Unity. Discussing the relations of the two navies. Admiral Wemyss said: "On the broad lines of strategic policy complete unanimity exists. Admiral Benson and Admiral Mayo have both visited us and studied our naval plans. No officers could have exhibited keen er appreciation of the naval situation. I find it difficult to express the grat itude of the British service to these officers and to Admiral Sims for the support they have given us. I am not exaggerating or 'camouflaging,' to borrow a word of the moment. Our relations could not be more cordial. Navies on Cordial Terms. "The day-to-day procedure is of the simplest. Every morning I hold con ference with the principal officers of the naval staff, and Admiral Sims is present as the representative of the United States fleet, J lining freely in the discussion of the various subjects. I need not add that I keenly appre ciate his help. At sea the same spirit of cordial co-ordination exists ex tremely cordial. I should like to say we have, fortunately, a common lan guage and common traditions which have done much to assist .us in work ing together. This co-operation constitutes a re markable testimonial to the strategic insight of the American naval author ities who have not hesitated to send battleships to Join the grand fleet in the North sea. "I wonder how many people realize that the decision of the American naval authorities in sending ships 3,000 or more miles across the Atlan tic to defend American interests rep resents a unique triumph of a funda mental strategic principle. The naval historian when his time comes to Write will not be blind to this notable ac tion, and there seems no doubt he wiil be able to add that the navy depart ment was supported whole heartedly by public opinion. Huns Would Create Discord In V. S. "And that reminds me to emphasise the fact that the object of the Ger mans in sending submarine to the American coast to sink shipping was to weaken the concord between ex pert and civil opinion In the United States. On that matter there is no shadow of doubt." "The American officers and men are first rate. It is impossible to pay too high tribute to the manner in which they settled down to this job of sub marine hunting, and to the intelli gence, resource and courage which they have exhibited. "They came on the scene at the op nortune moment. Our men hajaj been in the mill for many weary nfonths. Possibly the American people so far removed from the main theater of the war can hardly appreciate what it but the results are far less than they anticipated. It. is known that the Ger man objectives for the first day were the line of Tricot-Mery-Belloy-Marest, and for the second day, Compiegne. The effect of the check is being felt on the enemy morale. Even Tuesday's counter attack encountered compara tively sluggish resistance from great ly superior forces. One crack Jaeger division was absolutely annihilated by the French. And the ever ominous condition of things in Germany were upon the soldiers of the kaiser. Home letters found on the dead or prisoners have all the same strain of anguish and complaint. One of the latest runs: "It is not only on the battlefield that death reigns supreme. Here, too, he claims many victims. Toung and old die. Their lives flicker out al most without reason." Even to a victorious army such news cannot be encouraging. To sol diers who see themselves and their comrades sacrificed without advanc ing, its shock must be nothing short of appalling. Signs of Weakening. In some of the enemy units during this battle at Courcelles the men fought well. In others there has been unmistakable signs of demoralization. uch inequalities are not surprising in this crisis. The superiority of which a few months ago was enough to have terrified us. and which is still suffi ciently serious to require every effort we can put forth, is ebbing away. meant when these American officers and men crossed the Atlantic. "They have been splendid, simply splendid, I have seen a number of the destroyers and conversed with a large number of officers. I also have had many reports and 'am not speaking of the aid the United States has rendered without full knowledge. "Not only are the vessels well con structed and the officers and men thoroly competent but the organization is admirable. It was no slight matter for so many ships to come three thou sand miles across the Atlantic to fight in European water. The decision rais ed several complicated problems in connection with supplies, but those problems have been surmounted with usccess. There has never been any thing like it before in the history of naval warfare. r-Boats Will Not Affect Transports. "This submarine business will not have any effect on transport move ment, which, judged from the stand point of a seaman, has no parallel in history. A year ago the enemy was boasting that his submarines would prevent American troops being moved to Europe. I do not Vnow whether that statement was ever believed in Germany, or whether it was merely put about in the belief that it would make the Americans nervous, but whichever It was neither the threats nor the performance of the U-boats have affected the movement. "That is a very remarkable facH which, judging by the German news papers, is producing a great impres sion in Germany. Not so long ago the falling off in sinkings of tonnage was. explained by the enemy as being due' to the fact that there were few ships to attack. "And now In theace of that state ment Americrn troops are coming across the Atlantic week by week by tens of thousands and moving up to the firing line.- At the same time war supplies In great variety are being brought across the Atlantic with com paratively small losses and the food situation in the British Isles Is actually more satisfactory today than it was a year ago. In spite of the sub marines we have got rid of queues. The people are contented and the gen eral situation so far as It is influenced by the naval effort has improved, al tho the enemy is making his maximum attack on every ship afloat, British, allied and neutral. "Those results have been achieved by adherence to the only sound strat egic principle concentration of ef fort." OAKLAND NOTES Notes and personals from Oakland by Frances Jones. Telephone 3530.

One Bat Can Eat Fifty Pounds of Food, 3,000,000 "isTlCANSAS NOW Farmers Should Store Grain in Kai-Proof Bins. Ivery Eat Killed Is a Direct Blow at Kaiser. Wichita, Kan., June 15. The entire production ot 200.000 able bodied men in the United States goes to sup port an ally of the kaiser, according to startling facts compiled for the food administration. Experts have estimated that one rat will consume forty to fifty pounds of food in a year. It has also been figured that it re quires the continuous work of about 150,000 men with farms, agricultural Implements and other equipments to supply foodstuffs destroyed annually by rats in the United States. In addition rats destroy property, mainly, of agricultural origin, the pro duction of which requires the work of about 50,000 men. This gives a total of 200,000 men whose economic output is devoted solely to feeding and other wise providing for rata. S,000,000 in Kansas. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, has estimated there are 3,000,000 rats in Kansas. He sets their total destruction at 16,000, 000 a year. Since lack of food will lose the war the food administration says rats in this country may be the deciding fac tor and it is therefore important to kill them, thus releasing 200,000 men either for the army or for industry. Rats know no conservation rules. They violate the fifty-fifty rule without re morse. TTse Rat-Proof Bins. If rat proof bins are provided foi grain in the country and for grnceties in the city, much valuaDle food can bs saved. City folks who put their chick en food whera rats can get it are as sisting the Huns. The food adminis tration reasons that every rat killed is a direct blow at the kaiser for the rat is a greater menace in America than German spies. TOOMANYWORKERS! Two Kansas Counties Are Overrun With Harvest Hands. Arkansas City, Kan., June 15. Cowley and Sumner counties, two of the biggest wheat counties of Kansas, are overrun with harvest hands. Today there are at least two hun dred men here who are unable to find work in the harvest fields and or ganizations are seeking to locate them where harvest employment is certain. FARMERS ARE CAREFUL They Will See That No Grain Wasted This Year. Is Manhattan, Kan., June is. Much more care will be taken this year than in any previous year in harvesting ana stacking wheat so as to avoid waste. This is the belief of Edward C. Johnson, dean of extension in the Kansas State Agricultural college. "Everyone is convinced," Johnson says, "that the wheat is needed for our armies, our allies, and ourselves, and for this reason if no other care will be taken to avoid loss. "The price of wheat is suck also that good wages can be earned by cut ting cleaner next to fences, by rak ing the shock rows in stacking, and Dy using solid-bottom or canvas-cov- ered racks so that any loose grain can be saved. Often as much as bushel or two bushels of grain a day can be saved from one rack if the rack is carefully swept after each unloading. Much grain can be saved also bv -rak ing carefully with a pitch fork after eacn shock is loaded on the wagon. Or if the grain has been cut when badly crinkled, assaying results from the use of the horse rake in every snocK row.

FIRST BIG GUNS Twenty-Four 8-Inch Howitzers Sent to France. More Will Follow, Department Tells Committee. Washington. June IS. The first shipment of twenty-four American made eight-inch Howitzers, enough to fullv eauip a full regiment of heavy artillery, has been made and will soon be followed by others, tne house mil itary committee was told this morn ing by the war department. Two hun dred liberty engines have been deliv ered to the allies and 2,000 engines to our own navy and army. This is the high water mark of engine production. Two hundred Hlspano-Suiza engines for the fast fighting planes have been produced and the war department of ficials say this eight-cylinder engine Is now coming into quantity production. Two hundred Havlland bombing jilanes have been turned out thus far. The Hanley-Page, the other type of large bombing plane, adopted by the department, is not yet in production. i HUD OFF DRIFT EXTENSIONS? State "Work or Fight" Laws May Make It Unnecessary. Washington. June IS. President Wilson's endorsement of Maryland's "work or fight" law, for males be tween the ages of IS and 50, waa re. garded here as augnring the attitude of the administration on draft legisla tion expected in the next congress. While Secretary of War Baker has officially stated he is not flow con templating recommendations for In creasing draft age limits expected by congressional leaders at the next ses sion. President W'lson, In a letter to Governor Harrinston Of Maryland, ex presses the hope that all states adopt legislation which will force men be tween the ages of 18 and to to engage in useful pursuits or fight. Univer sal application of such a program, however, can only come thru .national legislation, it Is eon ended here by members of congress. The great drain on the country's man power. It is de clared, will soon necessitate additional draft legislation raising the present age limits of those subject to call. "Representative Kahn of the house military committee today reiterated his belief that the draft law should be modified to include men between the ages of 21 and 45 years.

Robert Fullerton at Head of Retailers' Committee. SHOULD ADVERTISE STAMPS Merchants Also Urged To Keep Them In Handy Places. a a a i i Sell Them Over Counter Like They Were Merchandise. The Shawnee county quota for re tail merchants In the war savings stamp campaign Is $66,113, according to an announcement by Robert Ful lerton. county chairman of-the retail stores division of the war savfngs stamp committee. One of the plans advocated by the national committee for the use of the merchants in taking care of their quota is that each store owner sign a pledge card for one stamp for each employee of the store. In addition it is desired that the stamps be placed on sale in every department of the stores. Urged to Advertise. In this campaign the merchants are to be urged to use a part of their ad- j vertising apace In the local news-' papers to push the sale of the war i stamps, and in addition tnev are urged to use all other advertising mediums at thefr command in the. work. In making the quota for the retail stores, the national war savings com mittee aimed to have the stores sign the cards for so many stamps and then sell the stamps over their coun ters. But the committee specifically j states that it does not approve of the habit of some merchants In giving the v. ar savings stamps as bonuses with purchases. Fullerton said this morning that the county campaign among the re-1 tail merchants will be begun at once. TRIBUTE TO ALBAUGH j Topeka Bar Adopts Rwotntios to Memory o; Late Federal Clerk. A resolution in honor of the memory of the late Morton Albaugh, clerk of the federal court here, has been adopted by the Topeka Bar associa tion. The tribute wa written by T. F. Doran, Robert W. Blair and Jas. A. Troutman. The resolution In part follows: "Altho Morton Albaugh was aot a practicing lawyer be was devoted to the work of courts and to legal problema. and was the constant associate of lawyers and judges. His position as clerk of the federal eoort brought him into contact with the leading lawyers of the central west. All were his friends, bnt bu most intimate relations were with the members of the Topeka Bar association. No banquet or outdoor recreation of the association was complete without his presence. He was never omitted from the Invitation list or failed to come und take hla part as fnlly as any member. He was always with ns and alwavs one of us -whether ut work or at play his heart beat In harmony with oars; he shared our sorrows in defeat and rejoiced with us in victory. Whether in the sacred precincts of his own home, in tfiA conrt room, at .chambers, or in the Lopen field, he was our guide, counselor and friend. He was one of the few men who placed the interests of his friend above his own. For this be was universally loved and trusted. "We grieved when we learned that he wss ill, but none thought of bis death, for he had scarcely reached the meridian of life, which for him was fall of strength and work-and hoiie aud love. There was every reason that he should live, so when his death came su l lenly and unexpectedly and to as the unbelievable message was whis pered "Mart is dead" a pall fell apen onr hearts that will not leave, and a vacancy came Into our lives that cannot be filled. "His great powers of organization and his great service to his country and human ity had been demonstrated in his war and lied Crosa work there-his full strength and usefulness were realized and were sorely needed In the present crisis of the world's civilisation. We can but dnmbly ask. why did death come before his -work was completed "He was good: be was kind; he was tree; ha was nscful; he was the friend ot all mankind; be loved bis family, his-home and his country. More than this cannot be said of any man." MARmED OVEU'WIRE Emporia Girl 'Weds a Soldier Stationed at Canp Mills. Emporia, Kan., June If.

GROCERS' MEET OVER Kansas Retailers Agree to Limit the Sale of Sugar. Salina, Kan., June 15. The Kansas State Retail Grocers have adjourned after a two days session In this city. The feature of the meetings was an order adopted by every man present that during the fruit canning season a limit wonld be placed on the sale of sugar to twenty-five pounds to any one person at a time. The attendance at the meeting did not reach the expectations, not more than 200 coming. There was consid erable disappointment in the inability of State Food Administrator Innes, of WicRita, to attend. Jm his absence fne convention failed to arrive at an un derstanding on the sale of a number of substitutes now being used. While no official action was taken on the matter of the delivery service by grocers the discussions showed that the cash and carry plan of sales was largely favored by the grocers. MINES MUST NOT CLOSE Even Funerals Win ITot Tie Tbem Up D nring the War. Pittsburg, Kan., June IS. Alexan der Howat, president of the Kansas United Mine Workers, bas addressed a letter to all local unions, directing that the .custom of f losing mines for funerals be abandoned for the duration of the war. Closing an entire mine for a day whenever there is a funeral of a man employed In that mine or a member of his family bas resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of tons in production an nually. This war emergency order does not preclude individual miners attending funerals, but prevents tying up an en tire mine. Pioneer Methodist Minister WeD Known in West.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- SATRD AY EVENING, JUNE 15. 19J8 Up to the Minute FROM EVERYWHERE. BY-CI.O- IT IS HARD BLOW New R. B. Rates Will Cost Club Owners s Pile. Coast League Will Transport Players In Autos. New York, June 15. The high cot of baseball, viewed from the stand point of the magnate, has another Item added to the steadily mounting bill with the In ci eased railroad fares. It has been estimated that the expense of transporting the major league club teams about the country has Increased fully a quarter of a million dollars this season as compared with the rates prevailing a year or two ago. Veteran big league baseball officials state that the average ruileape of such a club will equal about 10.000 miles each year when figured over a period of several seasons. Some clubs will run above there figures and others be low, according to the manner in which the schedule breaks for them from year to year, but an average of 10,000 miles can be counted upon as about correct for the purpose of estimating increases. In Ante-bellum days the rate thru out tne various states included In a .major league circuit averaged about two and one-balf centb per mile per member of the party. This gave a total of about $2,600 per player per season with several hundred dollars additional for Pullman reservations during long trips. This particular Item was offset to some extent by the saving in hotel bills where night jumps were made. Minors Hit Bard. Under the new ruling the rates are increased almost a cent a mile, in ad dition to the regular charges for spe cial reservation and the travel war tax. If all the traveling is done In Pull mans the rate will be three and a half cents per mil' or a total for a full season of $1,500 per player plus a war tax of 8 per cent, equal to $280. To this must be added the regfular extra charge for sleeping berths or chairs where long night or day trips are made. While the major leagues can prob ably meet this additional expense without serious financial setback, the same cannot be said of the various minor organizations. It will undoubt edly cut heavily Into the narrow mar gin which now marks the difference between profit and loss in the minor league club accounts. The problem Is already receiving careful study from baseball club officials all over the country. The Pacific Coast league will try the experiment of transport ing players from city to city by auto mobile and motorcars, while trolley service has been suggested In the east as a mtus of keeping down travelling expenses. i WONT STOP RACING Camden Sees No Reason for Aban doning the Sport of Kings.

Camden made this statement in response to tel--rr ..is fr .n the Louisvile Ministerial association, Louisville Rotary club, the Men's Federation and other organiza tions and individuals urging racing be discontinued during the war. Mr. Camden said: "In view of the fact that racing in terests of Kentucky have pledged $30.00 to the Red Cross and only about half the amount has been raised, not only the racing associa tion but owners, trainers and em ployes would be discredited were the sum not raised. Racing will be con tinued and the remainder of the Red Cross subscription raised in the fall.

Motor Cop did much to Jumble the situation among the crack 3-year-olds of the year when he captured the Withers mile two weeks ago today. There were many who claimed that his victory was no more glorious than the showing made by Cum Sah, which finished second, and Trompe La Morte, which trailed home third. This was because Motor Cup beat the barrier by almost sis lengths and won by only half a length. But there may be a newcomer In the S-year-old field today to further tangle up matters, for there is a classical field entered in the Belmont Stake, which is being run at Belmont park as the feature race of the closing day of the meeting this afternoon.

More than 1,000 pints of whisky Beef roasted, fried, boiled or oth erwise will no longer grace the ta bles of patriotic Topeka families un til the first of September. The reason for this is that the United States food administrator has announced that beef Is' taboo, and Is needed to keep the fighting men fit. The order as an nounced Friday was to go Into effect at once. However, the meat of the nation is not to be entirely done away with as far as the civilian population Is con cerned. Administrator Hoover has al lowed two days each week on which one meal may get that may contain beef. Butchers have been instructed i to curtail the beef orders of their cus- tomers to such an extent that the av j erase ration will be about one and one quarter pounds per person per week. j Restaurants In Line. Restaurants and hotels in all parts 1 of Topeka announced this morning j their intention of complying strictly J with the letter erf the new food ad ministration beef order. The common i answer to the question as to what the restaurants were going to do with the order was "We will comply with it." One or two of the leading restau rateurs of the city said this morning that af ter. the present stock of beef which they have on hand is tx hausted they will serve no more until 'the order Is removed in September. Most of thecafe men were in favor of calling a meeting of all eating house proprietors to set aside two days .on which beef can be served. The idea 'is to make the beef days uniform 00 that persons in the habit of dining up town cannot avoid the order by following the beef meal from restaur nt to restaurant. Others Will Comply. One prominent Topeka club an nounced this morning that its mem bers are already "off" beef and are consuming huge g-uantfties of pork. The drut: stores announced their in tention to eliminate roast beef or beef of any sort from their menus. Cafe .erla proprietors stated that the beef order is expected to increase the sale of beans and spaghetti at their coun ters. In an" Interview this morning Shaw nee County Food Administrator W. H. Davis Baid that he had not as yet re- 'r celved any Information concerning the beef order, but he asserted that "if the food administration had issued the order he supposed it was in effect as ;-soon as printed."

"Canned- opera" is to be the attrac tion at the Chamber of Commerce all next week, according to an announce ment this noon by W. A. Biby. chair man of .the fe-.itertalnment committee. Biby said that the action was taken after the proposition of furnishing en tertainment had been broached bv President George P. McEntlre. It is thought that by furnishing amuse ment with the noon luncheon the usual summer falling off ef 'lining room patrons may be avoided.

It is at present stored n the "wet room at tne court noose to be used as evidence in the prose cution of those who had it on their person when it was seized. After serv ing for this purpose, it will be dumped into a sewer or otherwise destroyed. Larimer's drive on the illegal liquor traffic, combined with the strenuous campaign being waged by the police, has made the city, It is believed, as near a "desert" as it ever has been in the past. -A large amount of the liquor seized was captured while boot leggers were trying to bring it into the city in motor cars from Kansas City. Other portions of it were con fiscated In raids, or taken from tne grips of Topekans returning from Kan sas City. In addition to the liquor several motor cars, used in the trans portation of the contraband, were con fiscated. Probe Every Tip. Every "tip" that comes into the county attorney's or sheriff's office has been fully investigated in the raid. Persons who make "bold" statements about the lack of enforcement of the law here, and permit such statements to reach official ears, are promptly hauled into inquisition to give evi dence if they have any. Late Friday evening J. W. Cook, a shoemaker at 624 West Sixth street, without know ing to whom he was talking offered considerable criticism to Robert Miler, undersheriff, about the way the liquor laws are enforced. "Why," he is alleged to have said, I know of several places around here where they sell liquor. They even come in here and offer it to me.' The scene of the conversation was at Cook's shop. This morning to Hugh Fisher, county attorney. Cook made the following statement in affidavit form: J. W. Cook, belnsr first dnlv sworn and UDOD Oath. SJIva: Ttmt he la a ihnmnti.r or cobbler by trade, and that he operates it u' repair ijiop at D est Sixth street.

BY IMRI ZUMWALT, (State Journal's War Critlc General March's statement that the German gains during the spring and early summer have been due very largely to a new use of gas, explains what, hitherto, has been a mystery to the public. It is known that the British and French expected to hold their ground safely. They knew, of course, that the German could and would use the mass attack. He had used it before and they had atways broken it up. Mere numbers was not sufficient to account for the German successes. It was evident that they had devised some new system of attack. Until today no clear intimation had been given as to what that method system is. If the allies can find a -way success fully to meet it the present danger will be averted. General March be lieves that a way has been found and the defeat of the German along the Oise seems to justify his belief. NAVYNEEDS MORE MEN Enlisted Strength Must Be Increased to 131.485.

A Dozen Other Caddies Joined i Them in the Chase. DODGED AL08GCREEK BANKS 12-Tear-Old Climbed Trees and Hid Under the Bashes. Bobbed a Store and Has Been in Eeforra School. After years of experience in run ning to earth, murderers, thieves, bootleggers, wife-beaters and the re mainder of the assortment in the cat alog, the capture of a 12-year-old ne gro youth apparently would be easy for Robert Miler, under sheriff, and F. F. Dawdy. probation officer, who, altho not a criminal catcher, is the Jonah of every delinquent juvenile in Shawnee county. The case ef James Gentry, 12-year-old negro caddy, wanted for an assortment of crimes, mostly thievery, seems to have beeU a snag for the two husky minions of the law. The Gentry boy was nabbed about a month ago for stealing $50 from the Lamb store on Twenty-first street. He confessed to a number of other simi lar offenses and he waa committed by the juvenile court to the reform school. A smallpox epidemic at the school, however, delayed the commit-, ment James, or "Snowball" as he was more commonly known, was kept at the detention home. He became tired of staying there, evidently, and ran away. The sheriff's office, the police and the juvenile court officers began looking for him and are still looking. Caddies Joined Chase. Late Friday" afternoon Dawdy sight ed the youth in a thicket of shrub bery west of the Shawnee golf links near Highland Park. Dawdy depu tized about a dozen caddies to help round up the boy who ran, deeper intu the shrubbery and weed thickets. The caddies dropped clubs and club cases, leaving the men who were following the little white balls from hole to hole to care for their own paraphernalia, and scampered after the small fugi tive. Dawdy put in. a telephone O. S. of Mller, and on his trusty bicycle speeded around to the opposite side of the thicket so as to cut off every apparent avenue of escape. J-iea by "Bur- Paul, the caddies poured into the weeds and shrubbery but Gentry had apparently disappeared from the face of. the earth. A youth ful club carrier pointed toward- dis tant hill which was for an- Instant crested only by the back of "Snow ball's" disappearing head.. The chase led on to the hill, but again no Snowball." Dawdy had not been at his desk at the juvenile court office up until this afternoon. Reports have it that he Is still fol lowing the uncertain trail of the negro youth. DRAFT MEW TO HARVEST That Is, of Course, If County Is Able to Fill Quotas With Others. Men actively engaged in gathering tne .Kansas wheat crop will be with held from active military servlre un til the crop is gathered, provided the county may fill its quotas from Class 1 men not in the harvest. That was the construction placed on the harvest hand registrants today when a tele gram came to the office of Charles S. Huffman, adjutant general, from Pro vost Marshal Crowder, concerning Kingman county. Kingman county harvesters are to be relieved of immediate service calls, providing there are sufficient men re maining in Class 1 to fill quotas. In event the Class 1 lists should be ex hausted, however, the harvests hands would go in current calls. A readjustment of the county quotas for June 24 ia being made today as a result of a shortage of Class 1 men fn two Kansas City districts. District 1, Kansas City, is 14 men short of her quota, while District 2 is 49 men short. The registrants entered the navy and the shortage must be supplied from other counties.

American sol diers are more than a match for the Germans In the opinion of Reuters correspondent with the American forces In France who has been with the Americans for the past month. Whenever the Germans meet the Americans, he says, tne Germans have beerr beaten. "My Impression." he adds, "is that the Germans will find In their new foes men more resembling our do minion's soldiers than the home born Tommy. They are full of tenderness, as the German wounded have cause to know, but they will not have-mercy on men who do not fight straight and will avenge comrades slain by treach ery to the utmost platoon." Remarking how quickly the Amer icans are learning by experience the correspondent continues: "There is .plainly much to he ex pected from the American army only, and It must be said wtth Insistence we want a lot of them. Secretary Baker has promised a million soon. That is good but a million goes a wonderqus small way out here. We want that million doubled as soon as possible. A million soon will be worth many millions later." Referring to the large Infusion; of Americans of German descent the cor respondent says that they make good soldiers.

A Word to the Wise Is Sufficient 8 a Wesssn Ccal 707 Docroocoo SLUMP IN TRAVEL Railways Entering Topeka He port Fewer Passengers. New Bates the Canse Summer Fares to West Effectlre. The fact that the new passenger rates have caused a marked decrease in passenger traffic Is not a cause for alarm among railroad officials, ac cording to the expressed opinions of the ticket agents of the local railroads. For the first week or ten days prior to June 10, on which day the new rates' took effect, passenger traffic was abnormally heavy, many persons and families who had intended mak ing a move having set the date of their departure ahead to take advantage of the old rates. 1 v But after this, business took a con iderable slump. But this condition, it is believed, is due merely to the fact that hundreds of persons who would otherwise be going from or coming to Topeka at the present time have al ready made their moves, so that, in reality, the loss of business to the rail road amounts to practically nothing. Tt is believed that within- another week or ten days, traffic will have re sumed its normal proportions again. Summer Rates June SO. The new rates for the north and for the eastern summer resorts will not go into effect until June 20, wh'le those for Colorado and points wen win take effect today. Eastbound rates will be about 28 per cent higher than thnre in effect at the present time. Stop overs on one-way tickets have been discontinued. A number of parlor and Pullman oars-have been taken off, especially on the western roads, altho none has been removed from eastern lines run ning between Chieago and New Tork and Chicago and Washington, where passengers have always been accus tomed to them. Other eastern roads have dropprd a certain per cent of their Pullmans. Klectric IJ lie Asks Higher Fare. Washington, June 15.

Rheims, a devastated city now, stands as a monument, in a way, to the bravery of the allied troops who fought to hold the German hordes under the terrific fire that laid in ruins cathedrals, churches and homes in I'.heims. The remarkable photo at the left shows how completely high explosive shells battered Eerevissa street in the city. Not a house in the street is undamaged. The photo at the right shows how stubbornly the French grenadiers stopped at each shell hole and evacuated trench and stood off the Germans until forced again to fall back.

Dispatches from the front tell how American troops are going to the front every hour. They pass through French villages in trains, on autos, in wagons and o.i foot. They are cheered wherever they go. And the most noticeable thing about these lads is the fact that they all wear-the same smile, the kind that a battle doesn't lessen a bit. They all look as if they can t get at the Germans quiok enouga. The upper picture shows a train of supply wagons crossing a bridge in France on their way "up."

Many wo men, who are. already in, the Held, have been -employed as superinten dents and principals for next year, ac cording to C. W. Salseri chairman of the Kansas State Normal school. TWO women ot the 1918 class, have ac cepted superintendences. They are: Fannre IMIsaver, superintendent ot schools at Isabel, Kan., at a salary of 11.800." and Lottie Henltne, snperin- tendent of schools at Tama, Kan., at a salary of 1,000. The large demand for well trained teachers can not be filled by the ap pointment bureau. This teacher shortage is caused by many experienc ed teachers going into war work, civil service, and many other positions where larger salaries are available. Owing to this great shortage, teach er's salaries have been nicreased on an average of 20 per cent. The most marked" advances are in the salaries for women, in high schools and in ad ministrative positions. The teacherj placed by the appointment bureau of the State Normal receive on the aver age $15 a month for grade schools and $100 for high schools. Roseoe Stubbs, Jr., on Ranch.

SANTA FE NOTES If Not, the tnlon 3Iay Lose Its Charter. There is all manner of trouble in store for someone because of the pub lication of a story to the effect that a Farmers' union organization in Cloud county dabbled in politics and en dorsed Governor Capper for United States senator. Maurice McAuliffe, president of the state organization, has printed a Iengtl.y editorial In the Farmers Union." in which he mattes clear that Governor Capper's boost ers must explain or the local order will lose Its charter. The story from Cloud county was printed as a boost for Governor Cap per's senatorial candidacy. It carried the Impression that the big farming organization of the state was throw ing its 'unit organizations behind the governor. Now President McAuliffe has dropped some sas bombs in tho senatorial squabble. He intimates that story may have .been a straight-from-the-shnulder fake. Is After Facta. If not, some over-zealous supporter misled the Cloud county union into violation of its charter rights and may orc suspension of the local society. In any event President McAuiiite is going right to the bottom of the trou ble and some interesting inside facts considering the eenatorsnip may ne made public. The atory of the Capper endorse ment waa carried In the Dally Capital, the governor s own paper. It was headed: "Union Backs Capper. Cloud County Organization Gives Strong En dorsement." Then came this story: "The Colfax township Farmers' Union No. 1056 of Cloud county, at Jts ln.rt meeting unanimously endorsed Gov ernor Arthur Capper for United States senator. This is the largest union In Cloud county." r McAuuffe's Statement. Now McAuliffe, as head of the state union, publishes the following editorial comment in the organization's official paper: "The offense committed by the abeve named local would not be so serious if the choice of the members was a member of the union and even then his endorsement should not be given publicity. "Some friend of Governor Capper s GOVEENOES AND MAYORS MAKE SIMILAR PROCLAMATIONS MEETINGS WILL BE HELD IN EVERY COMMUNITY TO SE CURE SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS v Pursuant to the proclamations of the President of the United States amd the Governor of this State, I, "War Savings Director for Kansas, acting under the authority of the United States Treasury Department, have called all tax payers and wage-earners to meet on Friday, June ZSth, to give their subscrip tions for War Savings Stamps. In rural communities and the smaller towns and cities, meetings will be held in the school houses at 8:30 P. M. The school officers will conduct the meeting In 'each school house, keep ing a record of the proceedings and reporting the names of all persons present and the amount ot War Savings Stamps subscribed for by them. The names of absent persons, and of those who refuse or neglect to subscribe, with their reasons for so doing, will also be reported. War Savings Stamps (which are United States Government Bonds the same as Libecty Bonds) can be paid for during any month, in the year 1918. but it is Intended that subscriptions will be signed for them on June zS. The price of each War'Savings Stamp depends upon the month during which it Is bought. During June each Stamp will cost $4.17. In July each Stamp will' cost $4.18, and so on, one cent more each month during 1918. On January 1, 1923, the Government of the United States will redeem all War Savings Stamps at $5.00 each, no matter during which month in 1918 they were bought- They cost less during the early monfhs in 1918 than dur ing the later months because the person who buys earlier has loaned his money to the Government for a longer time than If he should buy later.

The Stamps are free from all State and local taxes; when registered at the post office they are insured against loss; they are backed by all the property in the United States; they cannot fall in value below the price you pay; they are as convenient and as well paying an investment as has ever been offered by our Government. A definite quota of War Savings Stamps has been assigned each school district and community, which will be announced at each meeting on June t8th. The Government of the United States expects all the citizens Of every school district and county to subscribe for its quota and to pledge themselves to save and economize to help win the war. It is to be hoped that the subscriptions taken at the meetings in your county will show you and your neighbors to be loyal Americana to whom car Government, in this hour of need, does not call in vain.

Germans Have Captured Many Army Y. M. Huts in France. DR. MOTT "OUTLINES KEDS Great. Responsibilities Shoul dered on Y. M., Says Dr. Mott, Association Is Backed fty Good Will of Thoughtful People. Why the T. M. C. A. must rata N mord than one hundred million dol lars during the coming drive for funds to maintain activities here and over seas, has been outlined by Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary, at the .annual meeting of the national war work council. To begin with, unexpected losses have to be met. Within the last five or. six days the Germans have cap tured one-fourth of the 550 foyers du soldat known to the American sol diers as "Y. M." huts which have been maintained by the American T. M: C. A. for the French forces. Doc tor SIbtt said. The association has ap propriated half a million dollars to replace the eighty-nine huts and dug outs lost by the British JT. M. C. A. in Flanders and Picardy during the recent enemy drive. Big Responsibilities. '"Tremendous responsibilities hare been shouldered upon the Y. M. C. A." said Doctor Mott. "It is a marvel ously comprehensive thing we have been asked to do over there. We have not only been sent over here simply to represent the ministry of, the T. M. cA. a.s we understand It in this country. That is the smallest part of our task. "It would be a great thing to extend the ministry of our association to the m?n of our own countryfand of those of other lands who are now In France, but we have been asked to do more than that we are to represent to all of those American sons and brothers not only the Y. M. C. A. of America, but we are to represent to them and be Jo them for the time being the American home, and this is a tre mendous responsibility. "We ae to represent to them the American school and college. We are to represent to them the best phases of American club life and all that is best ofi the American stage. We are to represent to them the American churches, and what a great responsi bility that is! It Is a comprehensive ministry. "It is not to be wondered at that It has at its back the good-will of every thoughtful Derson in our native land, regardless of his political or religious affiliation. American Nation Behind Work. 'The American nation is behind us. That should not only cheer us, how ever, but should increase the sense of burden of responsibility, because those who are behind us with their good will will follow us with judgment un less we represent faithfully that With which they have charged us. "Let me give you additional reasons why we need so much money to con tinue our war work. "The first reason is that we are the only agency able to do this work cn any adequate scale. We have to do 'over there' to a large extent what twelve or fourteen agencies are trying to do on this side of the Atlantic. Forces Are Scattered. The second reason is that over there the forces are scattered. Over here we are familiar with the great cantonments where 20,000 or 0, 000 or 40,000 men are massed in each. Tod will find in France a division of less than 30,000 scattered in thirty to sixty Tillages. I heard of two divisions that had arrived in France and the assocla tion had only one secretary to place at their disposal. These soldiers are billeted In sma'l groups all over the villages. One bitter cold day forty of our boys were assigned to a hay loft. The floor of the stable that the cattle bad occupied was cleaned up and 100 more were put there. "The chickenhouse held seven more and the carpenter's shop a dozen more. Sight hundred boys were parceled out In that particular village. The father or mother Is not In this land who. If he or she had been with ne and seen tnelr boy, as I have seen him. would not be willing to mortgage house or land, if necessary. In order that the T. M. C. A. might be established la that particular section. He or she would be saying, 'You have got to get down to the unit of 300, if my boy Is there and not stop with serving large uima ot 2,vug or over. Troops Constantly Shifting. "Another reason why we need large urns of money is the constant shifting that is-being done over there. In six months one division of our army had to shift four times was put in five different positions. That means great ly Increased expense. In this case It meant opening up huts In 30 different villages successively for five times or a total of 150 villages. "Another reason is the broken- down means of communication. All the French railroads are worn out- I saw the splendid double line America, has stretched almost across France, and I saw what America Is trying to do with some of the French roads. But If we had not established our own transport system we would not be In 606 places now. We have our own camion and our own automobile service. But It is expensive, when you think of the prices we have to pay. However, with out that service we couldn't extend our ministry to the boys. And we have got to Increase this service four-fold be fore we can serve adequately the first million men overseas. Prion Are High. "Another reason why It is going to cost so much is that prices are far higher over there for everything than they are here and they are constant ly rising. Apparently this will con w itovattAn tlnue to oe tne caav w of the war. "Still another reason is the urgency of the situation. We cannot say, 'We will do so muon now ana so mucu months from now.' Where is the a i k tA mn-v "Tlmder- take your task gradually; by next year ovenaice me koij. tlonal War Work council doesn't stand ,v.

Hugh Tribute to Fighting Men. In the course of his address, Dr. Mott paid eloquent tribute to the high character of the personnel 01 tne American army. "I know the American army, ne said. "Moreover, since this war be gan I have seen every other great army on both sides of this struggle and have seen these armies intimately, with the exception of the Turkish army and certain armies of the Bal kan states, and I am free to say that with the possible exception of the Ca nadian army and I am not sure I should make that exception there has gone forth to those European shores, or risen up in those European Isuands and on the European conti nent no body of men averaging as high Judged by every test, as this army of American young men the flower of the manhood and the boyhood of this republic "I naa luncheon recently with Gen eral Pershing, and with great eager ness he ventured to say that in his judgment, not in the history of man kind has there been a body" of men averaging higher in personality and cnaracter, going forward on a more important errand, and animated by purer motives or higher principles. I wish the whole American people could have looked into his eyes and have heard his vibrating voice as he spoke with such intimate .knowledge and conviction."

M, C. A. Germany has passed the word about that we are not to be permitted to stay in Russia," said Doctor Mott. Some Americans have wondered whether we should not withdraw the American secretaries from Russia. The only other people I have heard suggest that were the Germans." In his address Doctpr Mott showed how the Y. M. C. A. was watching after the American soldier from the time he enlisted or was drafted up to and Including the day when he gets in actual righting.

We seemed to lack writ ing space with all our tables in the social room and the auditorium. We had a program of some kind every evening' and in spite of the warm weather, our building was crowded. One of the strong programs was given by James J. -Foley on Friday evening. The auditorium was well filled and the men enjoyed the talk very much. Our religious services were very well attended and the interest taken by the men was unusually good. Five Bible classes were organized in the barracks Sunday morning with an at tendance of 138. The largest class was organized by Secretary Leaman in company 5. We have acommittee on decoration and we soon expect to have curtains on our windows. We have removed the old black paper from our walls and are waiting for some new paper to be secured for us. On Monday evening our entertain ment was given in the open air. The piano was moved to the porch. The men took chairs outside and the per formers used the porch for a plat form. If the weather continues hot we shall continue to follow this pro gram. Last Tuesday morning witnessed a terrific: hair raising event In the aulet and unruffled existence of the secre tarial staff at Y 8. Secretary Lea man, while commenting upon the tri umphs ana tragedies of Chautauqua. lecturer on tne Corn Belt circuit or Iowa, made the statement that he was ope of the lightning shave artists and would remove facial camouflage in record time. Secretary Campbell, zealous for the honor of Indiana, threw his hat 'into the ring and chal lenged Leaman to a contest, which challenge was accepted. It was a tense and thrill filled moment when the two contestants appeared in the arena of the wash room. Leaman was in a Jocular mood, while Campbell was somewhat sobered by the respon sibility of upholding the honor of the Hoosier state. Campbell used a safety razor, a la Gillette, while Leaman pinned his faith to the old fashioned straight edge. Leaman was given a ten. second allowance. The following ouiciais naa cnarge or tne event; Styles, referee; Pullman, Inspector, ana eenwartz, time keeper. At a given signal both men trot awav for a flying start; the result was for a long time in doubt, but Leaman en account of his corn cutting experience finally began to draw away from his rival and at la3t emerged, bloody-and lacerated, yet a victor, with a reeord of three minutes flat. Campbell went mm ine iuu distance and finally broke the tape at 4:60. Doc Styles, our so cial secretary, was on his feet at once with a challenge to the winner and in a trial heat on that same morning he finished in 2:30, but since that dem. onstration Leaman has not been very keen for a contest with his challenge and no announcement can be made at wo a to wnen tney will meet.

A new camp song has emanated from, somewhere around Y No. 9 and is being sung in the preliminary "sings." It goes to the tune of "The Shade of the Old Apple Tree," and ia as follows: "n the shade ef a telephone pole, Where you comfort your poor, blistered sole. While you're bresthtag 1 dost, And sre full of disgust.

What The American Flag Is (AN EXCERPT FROM A FLAG DAY ADDRESS BY HON FRANKLIN K. LANE, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR) "Then came a great shout from the flag. Let me tell you who I am. The work that we do is the making of the real flag. I am not the flag, not at all. I am but its shadow. I am whatever you make me, nothing more. I am yonr belief in yourself, your dream of what a people may be come. I live a changing life, a life of moods and passions, of heartbreaks and tired muscles. 'Sometimes I am strong with pride, when men do an hon est work, fitting the rails together truly; sometimes I droop, for then purpose has gone from mo, and cynically I play the coward. Sometimes I am loud, garrish and full of that ego that blasts judgment. But always I have all that you hope to be and have the courage to try for.

I am the battle of yesterday and the mistake of tomorrow. I am the mystery of the men who do without knowing why. I am the clutch of an idea, and the reasoned purpose of resolution. I am no more than what you believe me to be, and I am all that you believe I can be. I am what you make me, nothing more. I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself, the pic tured suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation. My stars and my stripes arc your dreams and your labors.

Out-of-door movie shows may have their disadvantages on rainy evenings, but in fine weather they are great, The prime advantage Is that a much larger crowd can attend than the auditorium at the building would ac commodate. Last Saturday evening the attendance was estimated at 1,600. And it certainly is delightful to. sit out there on the hillside of an eve ning and get the view of the valley toward Funston, Life is great: "we have a bubbling fountain; we have a good porch: we have trees Just outside our windows within a block en the other side: our on one side and grass covered hills windows, are well screened, and our doors stand wide open. Just before the Sunday morning service Tom Weatherwax blew in and bummed a shave from the house. We got back at him by demanding a solo, and Tom responded -with "Moth ers' Prayer," -and with an appropriate gooa-oye to tne nays.

Ice cream cones Tor tne cnam pions Is a sufficient Incentive to get the thing started, and it then goes merrily along of Its own momentum. A preliminary event Is arranged for each evening by a member of tne stair, the staff men taking turn according to schedule In this work. The best last week was a spelling bee between "re Jects" and soHiers, arranged by theN desk man, which resulted in victory for the soldiers. An Armenian artist discovered among the recruits enter tained the boys before the movies on Friday evening with some crayon work. D. Clinton West, who has spent many years as a government agent and Instructor with the Indians on reservations, has "been added to the staff, to do special work with the In dian soldiers thruout Camp Funston. He has alrsady proven his usefulness along this line. A dramatio rendition of "Three Things," by Rasweiler, last Monday evening, made a hit with tne boys. The address by the Hon. A. L. Lay- ton on loyalty to the government and to God made a strong impression and resulted in the signing of a goodly number of war rolls by the soldiers present. The sermon by Doctor Nesbit on Sunday evening was notable for the fact that not a man leit rne auui torlum after he began to speak, while many who stepped in evidently to pass thru to tne social room, as orten nap pens at these services, stayed until the close. The message was Just the kind soldiers want and resulted In a number of decisions for the Christian life, eighteen soldiers signing the war roll pledges. Jackson, the new social secretary. has found enough good singers in the 67 company to make a strong chorus. After a single rehearsal they sang on Sunday evening in the services, very effectively. They are in line to be heard from all over camp it they are not transferred and separated. The 14 Depot Brigade band has been generous in its services to No. f playing each Sunday in the morning services and giving a concert once a week. Private Newmeyer. the pianist, has proven a" big find. Always willing to serve, his playing makes good singing easy. Colonel Beauchamp of the British army delivered a very Instructive lec ture on conservation and reclamation at the AU-Kansaa building Monday afternoon.

PALMER Publisher of tbe Houston Post, Houston, Texas "I am so thankful that I can fight, knowing my loved ones are across the feas, far from danger, though my every effort is for their safety. An expression of a soldier about to start for overseas. Only yesterday he was a boy, with .1 boy's love of pleasure, a boy's care free disregard for obligations to any. in or anything even fairly remote from the object of his immediate pleasure or happiness. This morning he heard his coun try call and became a man, dropping reluctantly in many instances the pleasures and anticipations of youth to assume the burdens of a man. To become a part of a big organization to prepare for war. To lose his identity, to do drudgery, to chafe under the monotony of camp life, to serve a gov ernment to him impersonal to fight an enemy to him unknown and uninter esting. To take this step required every element of manhood much that is lacking in many men more mature in years. FLAG To say that the American flag means more to the American people today than it has ever meant before is no reflection upon their patriotism. It is a simple statement of fact. It follows, therefore, that Flag Day, June 14. will mean more this year than it has meant since the observance of the anniversary was instituted. For the first time in American history. Old Glory is waving on Eu ropean battlefields. It follows, there fore, that the American flag means mere to Europe than it has ever meant before. I To the Teutonic hosts, and -parti cu larly to the Teutonic rulers, the Stars and Stripes have a new meaning. Be fore the war the flag symbolized a free people, with immense natural re sources, great wealth and certain, mis understood ideals of government. To the Teutonic mind it was inconceiv able that forty-eight com inuii wealths, federated as the United States, could ever be a powerful nation, as power was reckoned by European rulers. Kaiser Wilhelm is credited with the statement that America's uuu w regligible because America was a real democracy. This same view had been taught by Prussian propagandists. Their teach ings bad reached the ears of President Wilson and, months before war was declared by the United States, he said: "Men are saying that if we should go to war upon either side there would be a divided America an abominable libel of ignorance T Forty-eight stars in the flag did mean forty-eight commonwealths. Yet there was but one flag! And it was the significance of that which escaped the minds of the Kaiser and his coun sellors. They knew that the forty eight states were not vassal states and they could not understand the strength of the tie that bound them, for the Prussian mind had been nur tured upon the doctrine of force. To the Prussian mind the forty eight stars meant experimental de mocracy. Each state wanted to be represented in the national emblem; each state asserted its autonomy. Therefore there could be no com posite whole. The experiment in de mocracy was idealistic, Utopian, and the symbolism was proper because a federation so loosely conceived was Y. M. C. A. NO. 3 Geo. K. Goodwin came to us this week as business secretary from de tention camp No. 2. Mr. Goodwin's home is In Wheaton, Kan. Our Literary society held a special meeting Thursday evening for the de bate. "Compulsory Military Training alter the War" was the question dis cussed. The Judges favored the affirm ative. All the debater showed ex cellent preparation. They are now planning to challenge Y No. 2. Mr. Ttasweller of T No. 1, enter tained a well filled house Saturday evening. He Is capable of holding the attention of any audience and gave us a very enjoyable evening. We should be glad to have him with us again. Friday evening we had with us from Lawrence. Kan., a trio of ladies, Mrs. Cox, vocalist.' Miss Hopkins, violinist, and Mrs. Evans, pianist. They gave a very enjoyable program. A part of the program was given outside the building and part Inside. About 100 cavalry boys who were In detention were permitted to come to the out side of. the building. They were pleased at the consideration shown them by givinjr the latter part of the program outside. Basket ball games have been sched uled with a "gang" from T No. 3. In spite of the heat. Sunday, we had good services and large attendance. Especially was this true In the even ing. Mr. Goodwin, our business man ager, led the league at 7:30 with S00 and Cantonment for' the soldiers of tbe Constitution. .Clark Howell ...The Chicago Dally News.. ...Charlotte Observer AucuAta Herald ...Columbia State ..Victor F.

At noon today he is a "SOLDIER," .ready to fight, happy in his knowledge that his loved ones are safe across the seas. He no longer is working for his government but righting for his loved ones- for his home and his country with a new knowledge of the meaning of freedom. He no longer looks upon tbe enemy as unknown, but as a liv ing, breathing menace to all that he holds dear in life. He is a soldier with a purpose, a soldier with knowledge of methods and causes of war a vital part of an inspired force that cannot be defeated. There is left but the night of sus pense while he is battling over there, and then the glorious dawn of tomor row with victory for a free world. The fame of those who return and the glory of those who give up their lives will live through the ages. Just now, however, we can but gaze in wonder and pride at the wonderful transition of the boy, the man and the soldier. DAY unquestionably the product of rninA so impracticable that they were soar ing towards the stars! The American ideal was high as high as the stars, if you will but no ideal is to be condemned because of its great reaches. The day of testing; came. Democ racy was at the cross roads. And again the Kaiser was shown to have made a miscalculation. Some years before he had calculated on the disin tegration of the British Empire be cause ft had bound its dominions only by cords of loyalty. Yet when Britain in her distress called to the dominions m the uttermost parts of the earth. the Bower of the manhood of those colonies came forward eagerly, joy ously. And what a record they have written So with America! Ten millions of her men went to the booths and ree istered for service, for the ultimate sacrifice if necessary. They went with no other compulsion than the ex pressed will of the Federal Govern ment. Today no home in the land has es- caped the claims of war. No home in the land is without its share in the sacrifices. Old Glory Seats to the breeze and with it a companion Bag, the service symbol. Is it any wonder that trie national nag means more to day than in the days of ease and care free prosperity? Never was there such a united America. Today there is no North and no booth. It is one nation, indi visible, with a flag whose forty-eight stars must preach their true symbol even to those m the palace at Posdam. The flag floats in the breezes of the battleneld. proclaimme to our stxue gling AlUes that all the resources of America, in materials, money and men, are pledged to victory. The red stripes tell the extent of America's preparedness to sacrifice, the blood of her finest sons shall be shed. The white sliipca tell the world. Allies and enemies as well, of the purity of Amer ica's motives, that she battles for righteousness, and with no thought of selfish gain but only that the "world may be made safe for democracy in which she experimented and of which she is the chief exponent. "Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto. In God is our trust.' men present- At 8:15 Mr. C. E. Davis, a returned missionary from Borneo gave us an exceptionally fine talk. Illustrated with about 100 slides, on his work among those "Man Hunters." More than 400 fellows took this in. We have at least two high class vaudeville artists in camp at the pres ent time. Mr. Wells of the 311th Cavalry, ranks high as a singer and Mr. Bysll is excelled by few as an en tertainer. Evans, our social secretary Is still making amends for not taking the "bunch" on the picnic last Friday evening. The party was composed of the trio from Lawrence, Mr. Wilson from headquarters and Evans. Some one who knows where to locate Wil son's wife might do well to write her. Last Friday evening a fire destroyed part of officers barracks No. 20. For tbat night our "Y" was turned into a rooming place several of the offi cers accepting our hospitality. A number of the officers lost considera ble personal property. Y. M. C. A. NO. 9 Over thirty men have enrolled in the new French class. The class will meet Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Mr. Righy as teacher. t No. 9 was favored hy programs from two different entertainers last week. Mr. Foley on Wednesday evening and Mr. Rasweiler Friday evening. H. R. Peckman or Y. M. C. A. created quite an interest In No. the Two German Writers Prove Kaiser Started World War Peonls of the Teutonic nowers are o-radnallv beinsr undeceived. Right on the heels of the "Dear Sixtus" letter of Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary, came the revelations by Prince Lichnowsky, who was the German ambassador in England at the outbreak of the war. These revelations were written for a family record so that when the judgment of another generation had determined the guilt in the present war, Prince Lichnowsky would be seen to have been the helpless tool of a grasping bureaucracy. But the private papers came to public notice. The people learned the truth. After the publication of his confessions, W. Muhlon, formerly a Krupp director, but now a resident of Switzerland, published some further facts of the German policy. The so-called Potsdam conference did take place. As early as July 5, 1914, Germany had decided upon war. Yet the German people were told Britain was the aggressor and that Germany did not take the sword, it was thrust upon her! Later Former Foreign Minister von Jagow connrmea me Lichnowsky statement and practically exculpated England. In view of all this, what is going on in the German mind? For nearly four years he has been deceived. Now he knows he was de ceived and that his government lied, the clergy lied and the Pecksniffian Emperor was the father of lies. Miles behind the battle lines, in as great safety as he demands for his six sons, the Emperor viewed the great panorama of the Western drive using, of course, the most powerful telescope he cotild steal for it nrobablv was one of the classes taken during the Chinese campaign. Then he cried out: "What have I not done to avoid all this I The answer is nothing. For here is the record DR. MCHLON: "I knew Dr. Helfferich's par ticularly Intimate relations with the personages who were sure to be Initiated, and I knew that his communication was trust worthy. After my return from Berlin I informed Dr. Krupp von Bohlon und Halbech, one of whose directors I then was at Essen. Dr. Helfferich had given me permission, and at the time tbere was an intention of mak ing him a director of Krupps. Dr. von Bohlen seemed dis turbed that Dr. Helfferich was in possession of snch informa tion, and he made the remark to the effect that Government people can never keep their months shut. i The Kaiser had told him he would declare war immediately if Russia mobilized,' and that this time people should see that he would not vacillate. The Kaiser's repeated insistence that this lime nobody would be able to accuse him of indecision had, he said, been almost comic in Its effect. "On the very day indicated to me by Helfferich, tbe Austrian ultimatum to Servia appeared. At this time I was again in Ber lin; and I told Helfferich that I regarded the tone and contents of the ultimatum as simply mon xstrous. On this occa sion Helfferich also said to me that the Kaiser had pone on his northern cruise only as a blind. He had not arranged thecrulse on the usual extensive scale, but was remaining close at hand and keeping in constant touch. The Austrians, who, of course, did not expect the ultimatum to be accepted, were really acting rap idly before the other Powers could find time to interfere. The Deutsche Bank had already made its arrangements so as to be pre pared for all eventualities. ""Since the first days of 1017 I have abandoned all hope as regards the present directors of Germany. Our offer of peace, without indicating our war-aims, the accentuation of the sub marine war, the deportation of the Belgians, the systematic de structions in France, and the torpedoing of English hospital ships, have so degraded the gov ernors of the German Empire that I am profoundly convinced they are disqualified forever for the elaboration and conclusion of a sincere and just agreement. The German people will not be able to repair the grievous crimes committed against its own present and futvre, and against that of Europe and the whole human race, until is is repre sented by different men witii a different mentality.' As a man and as a German who de sires nothing but the welfare of the deceived and tortured Ger man people, I turn away defi nitely from the present represen tatives of tiie German regime. CONSCIENCE CONDEMNS THE LIAR, BUT KULTUR CON. DEMNS ONLY THE LIAR WHO HEEDS HIS CON SCIENCE ANLV CONFESSES eclipse thru his lecture on Wednesday evening. Quite a number gathered at the building Saturday afternoon to use smoked glasses prepared for them. The resounding note was, "Me next!" Our" social and physical secretaries are spicing up their programs on Fri day and Saturday nights by ex changing talent. The men like it. The big cage ball suspended from the celling has created quite a lot of curiosity and now the cages are be ing erected for action. Dr. Henshaw was the speaker at our camp sing last Tuesday night and de livered a strong address that went home. We find that outside talent In our Sunday services Is a great help. It is an attraction that draws many men who might not otherwise attend and adds to the beauty and uplift of the service. Seems more like the old home church, when you have ladies In the choir. Sunday morning the Law rence ladies' trio helped us with piano, violin and vocal numbers, all beautiful and worshipful. At night 'Mrs. Kirbye sang, and was compelled to keep sing ing, and a full house stayed to the end to hear her sing some more. Pastor Bennet 'and Mr. Kirbye were the preachers of the day. There were some sixty men In the Rainbow class meeting Just before the morning service. The men are very much interested In "The Soldier's Spirit." Furthermore', they have it. Smoke Red Dot 6 cent cigar. White Front, Arcade. Adv. caused tears to fill his eyes and PRINCE LICHNOWSKY: "I learned that at tbe decisive conversation at Potsdam on July 5 the inquiry addressed to ms by Vienna fonnd absolute assent among all the personages in au thority; indeed, they added that there would be no harm if a war with Russia were to result. So, at any rate, it is stated in tbe Austrian protocol, which Connt Mensdorff Austrian dor) received in London. "My London mission wrecked not by the perfidy of tbe British but by the perfidy of our own policy. I bad to support in London a policy which I knew to be fallacious. I was paid out, for it was a sin against tbe Holy Ghost. We pressed for war. We delib erately destroyed tbe possibility of a peaceful settlement. Sir Edward Grey, throughout the whole of tbe negotiations, never took open sides with Rus sia or France in order that he might not supply any pretext for a conflict. That pretext was sup plied later by a dead Archduke. "As appears from all official publications, without tbe facts being controverted by oar own White Book, which, owing to its poverty and gaps, constitutes a grave self -accusation: "1. We encourage Count Bercbtold (tbe Austrian Foreign Minister) to attack Servia, al tbongh no German interest was involved, and tbe danger of a world-war must have keen known to ns whether we knew the text of tbe ultimatum is a question of complete lndiffer- "2. In tbe days bctwet-n July 23 and July 30, 1014, when Mr. Sasonoff (tbe Russian Foreign Minister) emphatically declared that Russia could not tolerate an attack upon Servia, we rejected tbe British proposals of media tion, although Servia, under Russian and British pressure, had accepted almost tbe whole ultimatum, and although an agreement about the two points in question could easily have been reached, and Connt Bereh told (tbe Austrian Foreign Min ister) was even ready to satisfy himself with tbe Servian reply. "8. On July 80, when Count Bercbtold wanted to give way, we, without Austria having been attacked, replied to Russia's mere mobilization by sending an ultimatum to St. Petersburg, and on July SI we declarr.il war on the Russians, although tbe Czar had pledged his word tbat as long as negotiations continued not a man should march so that we deliberately destroyed tbe possibility of a peaceful settle ment. "In view of these indisputable facts, it is not surprising tbat the whole civilised world outside Germany attributes to us the sole guilt for tbe world-war." KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS William J Moriarty, director of ac tlvities for this district, was a visitor Sunday last and reported that tbe new K. of C. building at the school for mechanics. North Kansas City, would De opened shortly. All of the equipment for the mov lng picture machines for the three K. of C. buildings has arrived and will be immediately installed. Recent visitors were the Rev. Fathers Portlance and O'Bafley of To peka, and Mr. Scanlon of Chapman, the latter has a son In the S5th divi sion, and recent letters to his famMy indicate that he is entirely satisfied with army life, and reports excellent treatment. Cheer-up messages from a promi nent Kansas city business man: "I think you boys who are doing secretarial work in tbe various recre ation buildings should receive greater recognition for the work you are do ing than seems to be given especially In the press." From the manager of a large con cern: "The welfare work In the camps Is undoubtedly worth while, and I would imagine that those engaged in it re ceive considerable satisfactilon from the expressions of gratitude from the boys benefited. Father McNally chaplain of the 41st infantry, arrived with the regi ment from Fort Crook, and in the fu ture he will celebrate mass at No. 2 building at 8 a. m. each Sunday.

Brooks, the new dramatic director of Camp Funston, has estab lished an office In the camp activities and amusements office. The Alpha Floral company of Kan sas City last week sent a quantity of flowers to be used in the beautiflca tlon of the Zone. A new warehouse 45x160 feet Is be ing built by the camp exchange.

So the balance of the staff had their con ferences and the work was divided up In a brotherly fashion, and the men who have come to the building have been served as they needed. This week sees all back on the Job refreshed and enspirited to meet the new incoming men with a smile and a word of cheer.

Mighty glad to have had you with us for the few days, boys, and sorry that we couldn't keep you longer. Believe we all enjoyed these few days, and especially that stunt night, Friday. No reason why you fellows should go without plenty of fun with a bunch of fun-makers tiryour midst such as you have. But that's only to be expected of a bunch who come from Chicago. Don't forget us out here. We'll sure be glad to have you drop in and see us occasionally. Be good and if you can't be good, be careful. We want to thank the Amos Sisters and the May Sisters for their enter tainment. We enjoyed your singing -en music very much and hope to have the pleasure of having you with us again. Saturday night we had a marsh mallow toast after the movie show. Ever try it, with a hot bed of char coals In a bucket? It's good stuff. Shorty Hicks from Y. No. 12 was over a week ago and put on some very clever "skirt" stuff. Had the bovs guessing for quite awhile, too. And oh! what a look of disappoint ment when he took off that wig. Tough luck, fellows, but "she" ain't that sort of girl. Monday, Mr. Peckman of Y. 7, gave his talk on "The Eclipse of the Sun." The men enjoyed the talk immensely, for it was given in a very clear fashion: Saturday evening, when one of the foreign born soldiers saw the eclipse, he wanted to know if that was "what that man was trying to tell him." Camp Pastor Berry was the speaker at our Mid-week religious meeting Thursday night. He sure had the fellows and the longer he talked, the more he had. Sunday morning at 8 o'clock mass was held at Y. 4 for the large number of Catholic men who came in with the "Chicago Bunch." Father .McNalley. chaplain of the 41st infantry, of which these boys are a part, conduct ed the service. He was assisted by James Ryan, the secretary-in-charge ol the K. of C. Hut No. 2. We were glad to havethem with us. Sunday at 9:30 was Bible school; at 10:30, the Rev. C. E. Davis, a mis sionary from the Islands of Borneo, preaching. In the evening Dr. Edwin Lowe, a Christian-Jew, was the speak er, who told the story of his conver sion to the Christian faith. Friday was stunt night, the men of the various companies furnishing the program. From the packed house one would judge that the men were quite interested In what their comrades could "put over." It was a good pro gram, men, and we all enjoyed it. The program was as follows: lano solo Elmer Barr, Company 44. Fancy dancing and light comedy George Martin. Company 44. Vocal quartet Fatty and three oth ers. Company 43. Impersonation and reading Mich ael Greenburg, Company 42. Tenor solo Ben Arnhelm, Com-p-.iy 42. Reading. "Innocents Abroad," Mark Twain Solomon Bloom, Company 41. Song, "We're On Our Way to Ber lln" Wm. H. Holllngsworth (the au thor) and chorus. Company 41. Saturday night Mr. Guthrie, divi sional song leader, led the boys In singing "Lisa Jane" and others. Had a good time, too. In spite of the "shot in the arm" that laid a bunch of the men on their backs, including all the pianists in the crowd. Some of the boys got out of retreat that way tho carried out, eh. Sergeant Newbauer? But the music furnished by Pvt. Henry Staffaroni of Company 9, D. B., on his piano-accordtpn, made up for any loss due to the inability of the pianists to perform.

Mr. Soldier, have followed and studied these lessons, and be come interested in the French lan guage, as you should for your coun try's sake, as well as for your own, remember this: Fifteen lessons can not teach you the French language, but they can give you a good start toward acquiring a "working vocab ulary." Also remember that the way to learn French is to speak it at every possible opportunity. A sergeant in the American Ex peditionary Forces in France madn this comment on the French lan guage: "These people over here know how to write their language, but they don't know how to pro nounce it." Pronunciation is the thing. It is learned by practice only. Practice, practice, practice, and then practice some more. Next week Trench and Camp will publish an article telling the Amer ican soldiers who have studied these fifteen lessons how to make Che best use ol them. of Ottawa, is now in charge of the physical activities.

The athletic staff of the army Y. M. C. A. had their weekly conference at No. 7 last Saturday, at the invita tion of Secretary Berry, and after the devotionals and business session, it was arranged to have a game of vol ley ball. Coach Kennedy and Glanz chose sides and the contest was on. One of the sad sights which one witnesses occasionally is the defeat of an old-time great athlete and coach, but of course old age must bow to youth, and we were all sorry to see the doctor and his bunch go down to defeat at the hands of his opponents. Of course we realize that the coach was not only at the mercy of his most expert and worthy antagonist, but that his rheumatic limbs gave him some concern as well. We believe, however, that there may be a possibility that the coach may be able to recuperate from the shock and be his old-time self once more and another opportu nity will be given him "to wipe this defeat from his athletic record. It is too bad that such a famous coach should be so completely outgeneraled and outplayed at every turn of the game. We must say. however, that the doctor is a good sport and ac Confessions Of A Conscript j (This Is the third of a series of diary entries written by a young znaai called from his civilian pursuits by the operation of the selective draft.

These diary entries are commended to the soldiers of the Na tional Army as a truthful portrayal of tbe process of converting jiriUana into soldiers of "the finest array ever called to the colors by any nation."

I wore my new house gown and I could not get the thought ont of my head that It was one of the few times left for me to wear it. A house gown was always one of the little vanities I promised myself. Good ones were so expensive and I kept putting o the buying of one until I felt I could reaUy afford it. When that haberdasher on the corner near us closed up shop, I saw my opportunity. It cost onlv 8 20. and it is of silk and tufted. Yos feel luxurious, being covered in one of these things. I felt the softness of tbe silk and wondered when I would have to put it away. I aat there with a bottle of Scotch and as I took each drink I said to myself, "I won't be able even to get a drink when I'm in the Army." Then I began thinking of all tbe rules and regulations I had Heard of prevailing in the Army. You'd think the Government was dealing with a lot of children instead of grown men. My mind was very active. I began thinking about the office. What are they going to do without met? I am not vain and I know it's true that everyone's place can be filled and no one Is Indispensable, but it's going to be a hard blow to the office. It isn't "I won't be able to even get a drink When I'm in tbe Army." always what a man does; it's what he knows. And it a man has kept his eyes and ears open, he gets to know a lot about a business in six years. All the correspondence of the man agement has gone through my hands for more than two years. If Mr. Jer rold wants to know anything be just sends for me. Tbe firm has a lot of influence in Washington. Perhaps they will try to get me off. Our busi ness must not go to smash simply be cause we are at war; and there Is work to be done at home that Is just as important as that "Over There." I think I'll ask Mr. Jerrold about It. No, I don't believe I will unless It looks too serious. He might not un derstand. Unless you are always waving an American flag nowadays, no one thinks you love your country. I do love America. I love her so much I don't want to leave ber. People say you are not a real patriot unless you are ready to die for your country. Someone has got to live for her. I want to live.

All you will have to do from now on is to draw your salary and we'll pay It for month after you are In tbe service, too. This will give you a chance to buy whatever things you need." I stood speechless. Mr. Jerrold pal his arm on my shoulder: "Oo and see all the pretty girls- you know and say good-bye. Bat dont think about as any more. "Who will do my work?" I asked. "A 'green' man cant pick ft aQ sp," I added. "I said 'don't worry.' WeH man age somehow. Ton just scamper ofl and say your tender good-byes." Hit smiling stopped a moment and be said, feelingly: "Ton know, you might not come back." He turned away and I made fu the door. I can't understand it at all. Every, body seems so pleased that I am to go, Mr. Jerrold's attitude hart. Didn't I amoatt to anything more than that? Am I to be disposed of without any further thought than a brief dismis sal?

One more German thrust on the western front seems to have spent its force and the. 'attackers, have little to show for their efforts except a small gain of unimportant territory and an Immense sacrifice of fighting; strengtn. The allied line Is bent In places hut remains unbroken from the English channel to Switzerland. The expecta tion' generally expressed In military circles that the Huns will continue thjeir effort to break thru from time to time appears to be Justified by the logic of the situation. They must go forward or go back, since It Is unlike- ly that they will be permitted to dig themselves in on the new lines. Gen eral Foch gradually but surely is gain ing the uppef hand. Day by day and week by week his forces grow strong er while those of the enemy grow weaker. The wearing down process may be a long one but It is certain to result in the defeat of the enemies of freedom. The allies can afford to wait while the central powers cannot. Time is working to the advantage of the former and to the ruin ,of their adversaries. The United States has suddenly be come tho world's largest exporter of manufactures. Prior to the war, ac cording to compilation by the Na- tional City Bank of New York, we held .hird place among the nations of the worla as an exporter of manufac tures, being clearly outranked In this line by Great Britain and Germany. With the opening of the war, how ever, and the suspension of Germany's Export trade, we took rank next to Great Britain as an exporter of man ufactures, and with the enormous for eign demand upon our factories we have now pajsd Great Britain In the race and stand at the head of the list of nations exporting manufactures. The story comes from Boston that a. Passamaquoddy Indian from Maine has appl'ed for enlistment in the ma rines, in that city. He was equipped for action alfho he did l.ot carry a gas mask, rifle or trench knife. He whooped along in native garb, mocca- ins, feathers and all. To the marines he displayed a business-looking and well-honed tomahawk. He expressed a desire to experiment in new styles of hair cut for the kaiser. Tucked thru his belt was a long stemmed pipe which he Intended to offer the Ger man people while peace terms were discussed. It is the opinion of the military ex perts that the German plan of cam palgn at the time the March offensive was launched was to divide the French and British armies. Following this the crown prince was to march on Paris. Having been defeated in the main part of the program, the Huns must of necessity continue the battle, They cannot stop or turn back with out acknowledging failure and that would be fatal to the morale of the nation at this time. Strange things are happening in polj ltics as well as elsewhere as the result of the war. In Michigan, for instance, the Democrats have nominated Henry Ford for United States senator on the -ttepuDiican ticKeu Henry still Is a pacifist but He has altered his method of bringing the war to a close. He is building warships instead of financing peace ships. Albert I. Palmer of New York, rep. resenting a large 'number of corpora tions in the house committee tax hear ing, advocates a tax on gross incomes which he says could be passed along easily to the consumer. But why make the process easier than it al ready is? That is where all the taxes finally reach. The concrete ship Faith has com pleted her voyage from San Francisco to Seattle, carrylrg a full cargo and has c me up to all expectations. It is suggested that the next one be called Hope, to be followed by Charity. Th stone ocean going vessel seems to have come to stay. A KAN SAN IN NEW YOIUt. CHAPTER XXXI.

During the year, there were four arbitration meetings at. which twenty-three cases were considered. Nearly every Important controversy between the Typographical union, the Stereotypers" union and the Press men's union is adjusted by arbitration if conciliation or other peaceful means have failed. Manager Palmer recently made this concise and comprehensive statement covering the purpose, scope and ac tivities of the A. N. P. A.: "It was the purpose of the founders of the American Newspaper Publishers associ ation to create an organization that would not only act as a clearing house of informa tion for the benefit of the publisher, but to make possible a concert of action among newspapers in matters relating to the wel fare of the publishing business. "No danger threatens the publishing bus iness flint is not immediately analyzed aud forcefully opposed by one ox the many American Newspaper Publishers associa tion committees, members of which are al ways ready to unselfishly devote their time and energy to the common good. "The annual conventions of the Associa tion, held each venr In New Vnrt ,-ltr have proven of inestimable value to the Individual publisher thru- the Interchange of Information and ideas. Aa a training school for the publisher they are of such distinct value that they are attended by publishers In Increasing numbers from year to year. "Action taken at these meetings has served to solidify the newspaper business, to bring about more or less uniformity in the profession, and to create a rode of ethics. Practically every worthwhile move ment la toe publishing business has either been first advanced at these convention. or by endorsement given impetus and sub sequently Drougac to a successiui con- elusion. The organization is really the only one in existence organized to consider the matter of disagreement between the newspaper publishers and those employed by them. Mr. KellogBs re port showed that during the year the Typographical union had spent 14.684 for strikes; the pressmen, 12,644; the stereotypers spent nothing for strikes; the photo-engravers spent $45,277 for strikes. The committee furnishes members approved forms for agreements and contracts. Ob one afternoon during the three days session ofcfhe association, ac cording to the annual custom, a recess was taken and the executives of the leading unions whose members are em ployed in the newspaper offices made addresses. On this occasion the speakers were: President Marsden G. Scott uf the International Typographical anion: President James J.

TOPEKA STATE) JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU T FREDERIC J. HA SKIN. Director. Washington, D. C FOOD CONSERVATION IN TKK ARMY. Washington, D. C, June 11. There new weapons of war have -recently come into uso in the American army weapons as formidable si any yet turned out by munition plants. .They are the sharp bread knife, the sharp meat knife tnd the ordinary teaspoon. The Germans would be particularly worried by the sharp bread knife, it they knew about It. It Is being used to cut very thin slices of bread. Be fore the war, bread in the army was cut in huge, -thick slices with any kind of a knife at all The soldier ate aa many slices as he wanted and usually left a half-eaten slice by his plate. Now he does the same thing, but the waste is minimized because the slices are so much thinner. In one camp alone th sharp bread knife saved 60,000 pounds of bread during a period of fifteen days. Ev ery man was still permitted to eat his fill of bread; he was simply prevented from wasting thirty tons that would otherwise have been cast into the gar bage pail. Forty-five tons of bread would be the approximate allotment for 3,000 men. And this is the result of the saving in only one camp. It Is estimated that the total saving In all the camps was sufficient to ration sev eral battalions of French and .British infantry. The sharp meat knife has been found equally efficacious. Hardly any meat Is wasted now, and the full im portance of this may be realized when it is stated that one eighty-third of each man's food left on his plate rep resents a loss of one-half cent. In an army of 2,000,000 men this would mean an actual waste of $3.650,000 a sum that would buy food for more than 23,000 men. Since the war. the American soldier has algp learned how to get amazing results with his teaspoon. By stirring his coffee vigorously for several sec onds he has found that one lump of sugar will do tne work or two. Stir ring is now a part of the military training. Fooq conservation has been reduced to a science in the army. From the time the food is bought by the sub sistence division of the quartermas-J ter s corps, to tne time it is consumed by tne soldier, tne smallest scrap is watched with tender care. That scrap, it is realized, may yet prove the needed surplus In defeating the Ger mans. The food is purchased on the contract syst rfi. That is, every month the subsistence division sends out a request for bids on various foods for the army for that particular month, and the lowest bidder for the highest quality food Is given the contract. Some months food prices are higher than at others, which causes a fluc tuation in the cost of the soldier's ration. This cost also varies accord ing to different sections of the coun try. In some places It Is only 38 cents a day; In others as high as 44 centa The soldier's ration Is In the hands of the mess sergeant of his company. It is the -mess sergeant who makes out the daily menus and submits them to the company commander, and he also keeps account of tne daily cost. If the food for one day costs less than the amount allotted for the company's ration, the balance Is placed on the books to be used at some otner ttme. Sometimes the mess sergeant saves enough during the week to buy chick ens for Sunday dinner. If approved by the company com mander, the written menu made out by the mens sergeant is then handed to the company cook a man of scien tific traininar and experience obtained In an army cooking school' There are now over 80,000 cooks In the American army? and over 10,090 bak ers, all of whom have received course of training at army- kitchens and bakeries. One of these training; schools Is here in Washington, established in connection with the Washington bar racks, which is a permanent army post. It reminone vry much of the kitchen floor of a hotel with the exception of the chemical laboratory where the men are taunt facts about fond values and calories and chemt-' cal theories. At this post 7,400 loaves of bread are baked every day and the army loaf is a two-pound loaf. The dough is made in a large mixer. Is then placed In huge troughs for the rising process, and is baked in a huge iron oven which holds fltty-six pans at a time. The army is now using a 25 per cent substitute for wheat flour in bread, and Is also using substitutes for other food materials, of which, there is a shortage. It will be well to re member this the next time you feel inclined to complain about the bot tom crust of your pie, or the scarcity of meat in the stew. In making bread, for example, the army not only eaves 25 per cent of its wheat flour, but it saves on the cost of the bread itself by using substi tutes for lard. One bakery, turning out 135,000 pounds of bread a week, now uses 50 gallons of cotton seed oil In place of the 450 pounds of lard for merly used. This means a large re duction in cost as weH as a consider able saving in animal, fats. Army cooks these days are men of versatile talents. They must be able to cook anywhere at all in a kitchen, in the field and in a trench or dugout It is a part of their training." In the backyard of the training- school at Washington there are several types of wagon kitchens which are being used in Europe. They contain ovens and large ahiminjum compartments such as are found in firelesa cookers, -but one can see that cooking on them Is an entirely different proposition from using the good old fashioned range. Army cooks also know now to bake. The bread that they -make with a 25 per cent substitute is excellent. Their pies and pastries are also delicious, altho these are served enly at rare Intervals now, owing. to the scarcity in wneat. nsteaa tne men are learning to like desserts of fresh or stewed fruit, served with light gingerbread. The American soldier is the best fed soldier in the world. His daily ration contains ever 4,7e calories. But he is learning 'to be economical ef food. Furthermore, food U not the- only thing that is conserved in the army. Every training camp has a reclama tion division consisting of one officer and 600 men. which saves everything that It can lay Its hands on. It makes a daily inspection of the camp garb age cans to keep a check on the camp waste; It collects tin cans and waste paper, and it even saves the camp stable manure to be used as fertilizer on the camp vegetable gardens. Every camp Is to have a vegetable garden this year also a measure of economy.

Last year the French and British had gardens on vacant land near their camps, and succeeded in raisins $256 worth of food to the acre. It Is esti mated that similar gardens, farmed by American soldiers, will supply enough vegetables to the acre to ra tion fifty men. Before the war the army destroyed its empty tomato cans. Now these cans are carefully saved, for 1.0 pounds of old tin cans will make One pound of pur tin and also one ounce of stan nic acid, from which is made the dead ly gas used by the Germans. Millions of tin cans are emptied at army camps every day. In tinned jam alone the daily consumption is over 250,000 cans. In view of the ever-growing tin shortage, this work of the reclmm- ation division is especially impertant.1. This division also keeps a check on the waste )n fabrics. It Is constantly repairing damages to shoes, clothing, blankets, cots, tentage and canvas. Thev collect all empty gunny sacks. and the army receives $20,000 worth of gunny sacks a day. They are also stopping the soldier's waste of cotton fabric, which formerly amounted to ten pounds per man. All of this Is turning the soldier Into a cautious an 4 conservative man. He is losing his ad miration for waste and Is beginning to respect such insignificant things as the sharp bread knife and the teaspoon as valuable weapons of war. Names In the News.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell me why my mother won't let me go out with other girls and boys. I am 17 years of age. Don't you think I am old enough to go out occasionally My girl friends often ask me to go out riding, but I am always kept in. I can't see why I am treated this way, for I try to be everything a younsr lady should be. Do you think it light? FRANCES It. Your mother shows good judgment in not letting you go riding with young people, it yon wait until you are 16 before going with boys you will never be sorry. It is true that mosr. girls of 17 are permitted to have boy friends. I think it is 'all right for a girl of that age to ;n certain a boy In her home occasionally, but I do not think she should go with boys to any extent. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a mother you advised about her son. You told me to try him with "moneys I have tried it very often, but he spends too much. He went to the circus and spent $6 and saw every thing twice. I also premised him a watch for his birthday. In January he went away from home for a week, when It was very cold. I was worried to death and thought something had happened to him. Then he came back home and I promised him anything if b would be a good boy. He Is a boy whose love you cannot buy with money and' he does not care for Jewelry. Another thing, he will not clean himself. I bought him a suit which cost $35. He wore it five weeks and It looks something awful. He wears expensive clothes. I promised him I would give him a vacation If he would go to summer school and make up what he lost, but he won't. He wants to go for a-vacation. Do yon think I should let him go for one or not? I wake up in the night and think of him and I can't sleep. I would like-to give him a good edncatton. What shall I do?

"what"s on your" mind?" "You know, uncle JJaa." sne saia gravely. "I believe I'll get married!" Whereat Mr. Bradley's sense of humor overcame the gravity of the situation to such an extent that he lair back In his chair and roared -with laue-hter. "Have you decided on the victim?" he asked, finally. "Well, no," she said thoughtfully. '1 haven't." -v "Then why worry about It until the right chap cornea along?" he said practically. "You're young yet." "I'm 24." she reminded him, "and I'm lonesome.. With all the nice young men in the world why should I be -lonesome?" "No reason at all, Winkle. But you've had plenty of chances. grinned Mr. Bradley, "and If you're jm keen on matrimony why dldn t you take one of them?" "Too commonplace," she comment ed, vaulting on her feet. "My dear," he laughed, "mat-1 rlmony's the most commonplace thing In the world. It is the one thing that is done consistently, persistently, and over and over again until death does its part." "Cynical old thing!" she said, mak ing a dive at him and mussing his hair as she skipped toward the door. "Bet you can't pull It off In a week," he shouted at her as the-door shut. She came back laughing, "How much?" she bargained. He studied her, with a grin. "Bet you a dowery of $20,000 against your Stavlne single for five Dion vesrs. von can't get married In a week." "Make it a month," she said, after a moment of deep thought, "and I'll take you.'" "Understand," ha conditioned, "it's to be a bona fide marriage. No frame up proposition. You've got to live with the ehap as his wife for at least six montha'' "All right." she agreed, "write ft out." "Now, you'd better get busy." he grinned, after he had written out the lagreement and she had tucked it down into her blouse. But she only made a little face at him as she vanished thru the door. As she descended In the elevator, however, her mind was busily running over the ellgibles of her acquaintance. Some of those who had loved and lost the charming Nell had married else where: others of them were engaged or trying to be also elsewhere. Any way, they all belonged to the common place. The man who loves ends loses always becomes commonplace te the one he's lost. However, if you aBked anyone In Bellington who was the most common place young man in the otherwise eligible class, the almost universal an swer would have been, "Marcus Barnes." But strangely enough .the Image of Marcus Barnes had already taken shape to the back of Nell Brad ley's hitherto particular mind. Never had he happened to be her dinner partner, nor had she even danced with him more than once or twice. And she suddenly remembered that he danced rattier well, too. altho she had never thought of It before, and she had known him for years! In the meantime, Marcus Barnes, the most commonplace young man In Bellington. left the bank wherein be earned his dally bread and stepped across the street and down a little alley way into a court where his road ster was- parked.. Two minutes later he turned down Spring street, and as he swung around the corner at Ninth, homeward bound, he noticed Nell Bradley standing at the corner waiting for a car. "Hello. St II." he grinned, aa he slid up to the curb. "Bop in and I'll take you home." i- She hopped obediently, with a little laugh.' "You running a Jitney bus, Mark?" she asked. "No,"' he chuckled, as he reached across her lap to draw the door shut. And then as they started with a Jerk: "This la a kissney bus pay as you leave kindly have exact fare ready." "Why. how funny." she thought, as 1 j. l&flrHi1 tntn lila av "T nevsr knew he was like that-" And she no ticed how tastefully he was dressed, almost fastidiously In a conservative sort of way. But after a few moments of chatter on her part and a most sur prising silence on his, they drew up in front of her home. "Pay aa you leave," he reminded her, as she stepped from the car. "Silly." she. said, turning away to ward the house. "Piker." said the commonplace Mar cus Barnes. "I'm not. she returned hotly. "Well. I told you what the fare was when you got in," he said firmly. "You don't expect me to be kissing you out here before all the neighbors, do you she demanded. "Makes no difference te me where It happens." he said, shutting off his engine and vaulting out over the door. It was the most uncommonplace mo ment of the most uncommonplace hour that the commonplace Marcus JSames had ever known, as he marched the somewhat surprised Miss Bradley up the steps and Into the hall. She could see that she was lrfcfor it, but then, what did It matter? Who would extend him one of those little impersonal and Indefinite kisses which she reserved for very young or very M and feebla male relatives. But she hadn't counted on the commonplace Mr. Barnes. The first thing sne Knew she found that she fitted Into his arms aa snuarr and tlajbtlr as If sne were made to-be there. Bhe shut her eyes and waited, but he only held, her little closer. She flirted open her eyes- a wee bit to investigate the cause of the delay and flushed- to find that he was studying her upturned face with a strange and puzzled wonderment. "I never noticed before how lovely you are. Nell." he murmured, and then he collected his fare slowly and deliberately, not once, trot seven sep arate times, which wasn't so bad for the commonplace Marcm Bernee. Every day during the following week Nell Bradley expected to- hear from the efficient ft re collector, but It seemed that Marcus Barnes had had his moment and then shyly era balded. Ten days, a whole third of the allotted time, passed and still there was no word. Miss Bradley was getting pan icky, for her time was getting short, se with a prim determination about the set of her chin, and a suggestion of color under the smooth sMn of her curved cheek, she decided to con sult the assistant cashier of the First National bank about some securities she held. The eorhmonplaee Mr. Barnes arnee from his desk and looked lust once Into the eyes' of Nell Bradley and then, believing In preparedness, he dismissed his stenographer. -r The gallant Miss Bradley had begun to get cold feet. "It's a about those securities of mine. Mark," she started feebly. "Securities nothing, .saia Marcus the commonplace, reaching for the girl financier. "South bound cars, pay aa you enter!" And he had already rung up three fares when the austere voice of the bank's president came testily from the doorway. "For heaven's sake! Why dont ytu two young people get marriedd and do your kissing at home "Shall we?" demanded Marcus Barnes of the girl In his arms. "Let's." agreed Nell Bradley with a vague excitement heart. Jn her thumping And the bank's president chuckled the news via the telephone Into the amused ear of his old friend and crony. Nell's Uncle George Bradley. "Let this be a lesson to you, George! Never gamble with women they have such winning ways ha ha!" "Great stuff, eh?" said the cynical Mr. Bradley. "Couldn't have !ost a bet In a better cauee now. 'could I? Youth, and Love and Marriage fine business!" While the commonplace Marcus Barnes, dragging Nell Bradley about with a commonplace marriage license in his pocket, was hunting a common place preacher to perform a common place ceremony.

For June 16: "Co-operating With the Sunday School," 1 Cor. 3:4-9. As well try to start at the mouth of the Mississippi and try to identify the source of the many waters that maae up that great river, as to at tempt to tell the origin and course of all the forces that are operating to bring about this new world order. It cannot be done. Frequently I have been asked how to account for the ex traordinary morals and Ideals of the American army in France. "I aunnoae the Y. M. C. A. Is responsible." Is a frequent remark of persons who like to put a simple tag on everything. Yes; the Y. M. C. A. is responsible, and so is General Pershing and his staff, and the officers down to company com manders. So alpo Is President Wilson and his wonderfully enunciated ideals. So also are the newspapers; and the public schools: and the churches; and the Sunday schools; and the homes. Countless great forces have flowed to gether to make this mighty stream of moral influence. In the new world order that is surely coming there may be found the confluence of count less forces, some of them no longer visible, which quietly served their day and lost themselves in their ministry. Back of today is yesterday: and back of the new sense of religion In our day is surely the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor, with their moulding Influence upon the lives of myriads. The Sunday school Is the church at school: Christian Endeavor Is the church in training. Both Sunday school and Christian Endeavor commonly comprise the same personnel. That is why co operation between the two agencies is natural and easy. There Is no con flict between the organizations: such would be as unnatural as strife be tween a man's two hands. Both are members of the one body, working out the one will, What makes fellowship? Well, a common bond in service Is one bond of fellowship. A common motive is ('another. vBut most Important of all is a common Master. These are ties that bind the great big body ef be lievers into one Irresistible wholes Fellowship Is not the flabby thing somesVould make it appear. To have fellowship it is not necessary to aban don convictions and duties and ties created by principle, and spend all our time In going about telling other Christians how much we love them. Fellowship follows loyalty. Fidelity Is before fellowship We cannot turn our backs upon solemn obligations, repudiating vital professions, and still claim the Joys and blessings of fel lowship. Instead of fellowship we would then have a sickly sentimen tality that would neither glorify God nor benefit the world. Fellowship Is only possible between noble souls who are first loyal to duty. On the battle line there Is only co operation. Whole armies yes, more than armies; entire nations under arms are put under a single com mand. A common task is the best bond of fellowship. Workers together learn to know one another. Sunday school and Christian Endeavor have the same business and the same spirit, A HERO EVERY DAY Brave Deeds of men in America's Fighting Service When the new fleet of destroyers takes to the sea, one of them will bear the name of Kalk.

At least where husbands sre concerned, and wlfle sees to it that hubby has none at home. Why, the average woman won't even let her husband eat what he wants to, or smoke in peace, and as for his in dulging in any little fad such as ama teur photographyj or collecting butter files, or first-editions, she puts an end to that before the honeymoon Is over. Of course she says that highly sea soned food disagrees with his stom ach, and cigars are bad for his nerves, and that It's a waste of money to take pictures and buy first editions when you can buy perfectly stunning sport suits with the same money.' But the point is that the married man Is no -longer a free agent. He sold himself Into bondage at the altar. The queer part of tne whole airair is that in exercising this tyranny over each other, married people for get that beyond the love pf man for woman Is the passion for personal lib erty. It la the one thing the whole human race has been struggling and fighting for since the very dawn of civilization. It Is the thing that men have died for and frail women have been burned at the stake for. It Is the principle for whose sake the whole world Is being drenched In blood right now. Take this away from an Individual and you leave nothing else worth liv ing for. Without freedom a palace becomes a penitentiary, money power less to purchase pleasure, the whole world cinders, ashes and dust. Every man and woman knows that this is true In their own case, and yet each 'man and woman thinks that he or she can deprive the unfortunate creat ure who la married to him or her, of his or her liberty, and atone for it by claiming that the crime was commit ted thru love. Undoubtedly there la no other sin gle thing that is provocative of so much domestic misery as the refusal of husbands and wives to give each other a reasonable amount of per sonal liberty. It is the cause of end less friction in the family circle, of fierce rebellion, and deceit. Also It keeps young people out of the holy estate, and makes one's latch key look better than a wedding ring to them. Fu therm ore. in refusing each other any liberty married couples overlook the fact that stolen waters are sweet, and that there is nothing that we I want to do so much as the things we are not permitted to do. Lock the door and the poorest spirited man and woman will break their necks to climb over the transom to get out Leave the door open and they will not trou ble to walk out of It. And it is also worth bearing In mind that there is no record of pris oners loving their Jailers. (Copyrlgbttd. JWT. by The Wbeeter SyasT eata. IncJ 3 TRAVELETTE BY NHCSAH Trinity Church.

It has been disclosed that Charles Evans Hughes has extended- his Investigations of the work of the aircraft production board. His findings will not only include a report on the charges that Irregulari ties wers permitted in the outlay of iuuus, dui win aiso give to the nation a comprehensive statement of the rea sons for the board's failure to create a large number of planes for use abroad. It is understood that the ex tension of the scope of the investi gation Is undertaken with the approval of President Wilson. From facta placed in the record within the past few days,' it is made clear that Mr. Hughes Is running down very report of inefficiency and that he is acting with the thoroness which brought him Into the limelight in the famous New York insurance in v estimations. Although many of the facts being adduced will never be given to the -public lest they reach the hands of the enemy, much in formation whieh up to this time has been refused will be made public. The evidence bearing upon the ef forts of the signal corps to give fronts held by General Pershing's men Ade quate defense, it .has been brought out that there are now at the front 378 airplanes bearing American insignia. These phtnes are being used by 126 American aviators, who constitute seven squadrons. Few of the planes are of American manufacture. In France l,T4o V. 8. Aviators. There are now 1,"4 American avi ators in France. A large share of this number are ready to o into the Ur against the enemy, but only 126 have been provided with equipment. There is im equal number of observers and 31.367 enlisted men to act as mechan icians and airdrome men at work completing the flying fields to be used by the American forces. That the training of aviators has progressed with far greater speed than has the production of alrcrrft is evi denced by the fact that there are in this country today J.46T trained avia tors and observers and non-flying officers awaiting orders to proceed to France. The enlisted men, many of whom have finished their mechan 'ical training at the flying schools in this country, total (9,001. The examination of witnesses is conducted behind closed doors at the offices in the department of justice building. Mr. Hughes opens his hear ings at an early hour and they con tinue until late in the afternoon with but a brief luncheon recess. The wit- j n esses slip in and out of the hearing much aftei the fashion of trust mag nates summoned before a grand Jury. Occasionally messengers are dispatch ed to the offices of .the signal corps and return with army officers who carry great sheafs of records. Wit nesses frankly say they j-re amazed at the grasp of the situation displayed by Mr. Hughes. Training S.iM Flyers. It would appeal that the capacity of the twenty-seven training schools of this country is approximately 3,500 men. At the present time there are about 3,34 men being trained as avia tors at the flying schools, and 3.39S at the ground or preparatory schools. About 4,236 men passed by the ex amining boards are awaiting an op portunity to enter the ground schools. There are 1,036 men who are taking advanced training courses in this country, perfecting themselves In pur suit, boml.ing or observation work. About 2,500 Americans are being trained in schools in France, England. Italy and Egypt. Craft Board Orders. From records brought up to date two weeks ago, it appears that the air craft board -ordered 5.300 elementary planes. 2.100 advanced training planes and ll.OOO-'combat planes. The en gines ordered comprise 10,200 for ele mentary planes. 6.682 for advanced planes and 37, SOS for combat planes. The program also -included orders for 35.913 propellers. 1,077 balloons, 343,735 bombs and thousands of ma chine guns. In connection with the use of ma chine guns It isnow known thatGen eral Pershing recently advised that steps be taken at once by the Ameri can designers to perfect a plane which would be able to meet in combat a German airplane having three guns mounted to shoot thru its propeller and three guns mounted for use on the sides and rear. It has also devel oped that much time and effort is be ing expended in an effort to perfect a "hovering" xrreehine for use of ob servers and bombers. Airplane Deliveries. Definite figures of deliveries of air planes and equipment will not be placed in the record of the evidence until later, it is understood. It is known, howev-ar. that planes delivered from American factories include 4.365 elementary, 620 advance, 114 combat and 135 experimental. Engines de livered include 6,126 elementary. 1,825 advanced training and 1,043 combat More than 13,368 propellers have been delivered and more than 31,846 ma chine guns. About 125 balloons-are In use. It is understood that pending ex periments no large quantity of aerial bombs will be manufactured, tip to May 13. none had been delivered. Some of the points at issue between witnesses are the costs of various equipment. In view of the fact that the question of price was frequently subordinated for that of speed In production, there Is as yet no basis of comparison for the claims of eon tractors a opposed to the arguments presented by manufacturers who failed to obtain contracts. Cost of Equipment. It ould appear, however, that there will be a thoro Investigation of the statement that the average price of the planes; propellers and parts of an Airplane is 35,000 and that any where Lom 31,360 to 36.0 00 mora is needed to equip the plan with an engine and its spar parts. Soma of the manufacturers are Inclined to criticise estimates which make,. po slble a $10,000 airplane, pointing out that there are few automobiles which approach tha. price. To date li. COO.eo has been apsnt for complete Boston, Mass., June 15. The eor nerstone of Reconstruction Base Hos pital No. 1, the first of its kind In the United States and the gift to the gov ernment by the Benevolent and Pro tective Order of Elks, wasaid today in the presence of a distinguished as sembly of citizens. Representatives of the nation, state and city, with emi nent men of the medical profession and thousands of Elks and prominent citizens from all parts of the east, par ticipated in the ceremony on Parker Hill and signalized By their presence and words the notable Importance of the event. This first reconstruction hospital, which will serve as the model, the standard maker for similar ones to be established thruout the United States, will give the maimed and disabled American soldiers and sailors the best of expert attention and occupational Instruction. It will rebuild human wreckage into able-bodied men and will educate them in occupations which will best qualify them not to become a burden to society. The aim of the hospital in brief may be said to be to minimize the sufferings and disabilities caused by the war and to protect the community from an undue number of crippled citizens. To Cost f 350,000. The government, thru the surgeon general's department In November last, accepted the reconstruction hos pital plans as a gift from the Elks. The Elks' war 'relief commission is building the -reconstruction hospital at a cost of $250,000. the money being taken from the Elks' 31.000,000 war relief fund, voted by the Elks 1617 convention. The hospital will be ready to receive the wounded American sol diers and sailors in the early Septem ber. The laying of the cornerstone was under the direction of grand lodge of ficers of the Elks. Tha departments of the secretary of war and the surgeon-general were formally represent ed. His Excellency, Samuel W.

Thousands of men who would be human wrecks without proper treat ment will be rebuilt at the new recon struction hospital and taught trades that make them economic assets in stead of liabilities. The men with fractures that have net rightly knit ted, with stiff Joints, with nerve palsies from shock or from injury these are the cases the reconstruction hospital will help. They will have had the regular base hospital treatment Just behind the firing lines, where the first surgical work will be done. Maimed and disfigured men will be reconstructed by operation, by appa ratus, by education. Treatment will be given not only to the classes already mentioned but also to those that need plastic operations to remedy contrac tures or defects or who need appli ances to supplant a missing limb. Those given artificial limbs will be educated in their Industrial use. Nq agency of the United States army or navy is able to supply this treat ment. The government has frankly admitted it and for this reason has turned with eager gratefulness and an assured spirit of co-operation to the plans which were proposed to it by the Elks. Ir. Frederic J.

Tha opening to homestead entry by tha government of 1,228 separate tracts of land situated In Oregon and varying in size from forty to 160 acres, baa been announced by the depart ment of the Interior thru tha local United States land office. These lands are part of the ones granted the Oregon California Railroad company by the acts of July 25. 1866, and May 4. 1870, to assist in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Central Pa cific railroad in California to Port land, Oregon, and from Portland to Astsria and McMinnville, Oregon, the title to which waa revested In the government by the act of June 9, 1916, following the failure of the rail road company to abide by the terms of the statutes under which the lands were granted. It had been specified in the act that none of these lands were to be sold to parties other than actual settlers; that no one person should be permitted to purchase a quantity in excess of one-quarter sec tion, and that the price should not exceed 32-50 an acre. Title. Given Back. A suit instituted by -the attorney general of the United States resulted in the supreme court rendering a de cision June -21, 1915, ordering that the Central Pacific Railroad company be enjoined from making further sales of land In violation of the law until congress had the opportunity to pro vide for the disposition of the lands in such manner as they might see fit. This enjoinment was followed by the act of June 9. 1916, revesting the title of the lands not sold by the railroad company prior to July 1. 1913, to the United States. Following these acts the lands were divided into three classes as follows: Power sites, which include only such lands as are valuable for water-power sites: timber lands, which Include lands bearing a growth of timber not Jess than soo.ooo leet noara measure on each forty-acre subdivision; ana agricultural lands, which include all the lands not falling within either of the other two classes. It is the third class, or agricultural lands, which are being opened to homestead entry.

Ton never saw a yellow dog that had any spunk. It will yap at every motor ear that passes, and then sit back believing, complacently, that it ran it off the block It will bark at other doga that are attending strictly to their own business. It wilr snoop around and steal things at your back, door, and then keep you awake at night with its dismal howling at the moon. It will be a curse to the man or woman responsible for its being in the neighborhood, and It never will do a thing to pay for the food it eats. This country of our is burdened, right now, with yellow dogs two legged ones. Perhaps there's one or more in your own neighborhood. They won't be there very long, because the nation Is after them, and by the na tion is meant the powers of the gov ernment at Washington These pow ers will inquire about the men and women who are buying the war loans bonds and stamps and the record will show, when It to finished Just what every taxpayer could do and ought to do In support of his country. This plan Is absolutely Just. It Isn't fair that you and your loyal friends should be putting up the money to protect the lives and fortunes of the yelsbw dogs, the human dodders. Ton know about "dodders," don't you? Certainly. And you haven't much use for them, have yon? Well, the dod ders, the hangers-on. buy no war stamps or liberty bonds. They'll be under the house or down cellar when danger threatens. They'll be on the fence barking when your boy goes marching By to France. They'll be whining when their tax to due. They'll fight the good" roads work. They'll keep peoples stirred np with fool stories about sinkings of American troop ships. They'll tell yon Germany was or is the greatest Industrial coun try in the world and that it Is a marvel of efficiency. Watch Out for "En. But they'll buy no war stamps these yellow dogs. They'd sooner go sidling down the street with their tails between their shaky legs, yelp ing at the band that plays to cele brate a victory on the western front. Watch out for the yellow dogs. The first one von meet ought to be led swiftly Into a seclreled spot, far from the madding crowd, and there told the truth about duty. And while you're at It you might give him some pointers about the easiest way in which he can help his country, at the same time telling him that the air he breathes could be used to better ad vantage In a pool hall if he declines to come across. Tell him that the only way he can he saved is to save himself by saving. Show him a few things about war stamps. Stand him In a fence corner and say this to him: "War stamps are a good form of Investment provided you must have pay for helping the country In which you are abiding nn der false pretense. These stamps pay 4 per cent Interest, compounded quar terly. If you don't know what this means, ask your le-yeaxold son or daughter. They are redeemable, in 1923 In gold the stamps. If yon take $83.40 out of the tin can under the barn where you've hidden your money so the assessor won't find It, and invest it in war stamps in June the government will pay yon 310 in gold for your certificates In 1323, Just the same ss if you wers a real, hon-est-to-goodnees American.

She lives In a city far away from my home, but every once in a while I have met. her, and every time I have seen her' since the day I kissed her under her bridal wreaths she's looked a little more haggard, a little more discour aged and a little more tired of life. She had a delightful husband, she said, one who was devoted to her and so kind in every way, not rich, but not poor either,- just enough to be happy on, and there were children, too," three of them, two boys and a girl, fine, rosy, healthy, wholesome little creatures that made you want to hug them every time you caught a glimpse of one of them. But my little friend, the bride, never looked really happy she only kept saying that she waa and I found that her husband was a drinking man. He was all right for months at a time, devoted, energetic ant? sue- eessful In his work and fond of his home and of his family as few men are In these days.

Using Wheat Substitutes Wisely In nearly every recipe for cake, pastry and breads you can use in place of half the wheat flour "required" cornmeal, ADVICE TO GIRLS o By ANNIE LAURIE o ber is that most wheat substitutes need slightly more moisture than wheat alone If you feel It Impossible to reduce your consumption of wheat to the more patriotic no-wheat basis of many fam ily, you may, of course, try this compro mise method. But it's difficult to com prehend the need of using wheat even in pastries when such delicious dishes as the following can be made: for three minutes In about a quart ot boiling water to which a pinch of soda has been added. Let the peppers cool before filling, then All and garnish as for tomatoes, and bake.

And the money went and the man's business ability began to dete riorate and he lost one position and found another, and lost that and found another, and the family had to move from the pretty little house to a plain little flat and from the plain little flat to a drab tenement, and in the tenement at last the poor fellow gave up the struggle and died. The other day when I met the widow she looked twenty years younger. She was rosy and prosperous and well dressed. Her children 'are in school, she has a good position in work she rikes, makes a good Income, has a comfortable living and a number of pleasant friends. I have not seen her look so happy and so hopeful since the day we threw old shoes and rice after her, when she and her brand new husband tried to dodge us all and slipped out of the house by the lde door. But when, she talks to you she tells how her heart is broken and she will never be happy again and that she has never smiled since poor Joe has been gone. What's the Use? I wonder It she means it? I wonder If she thinks she was better off and happier in all that misery and anxiety and humiliation, or does she Just say so because she cannot bear the idea of any one realizing what it was she went through? I hope it's that;. I love to see any one make themselves believe they are happy when they are miserable, but, oh, what a strange mistake it is to make yourself believe you are miserable when you are quite con tent and happy!

17 1 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1918 WAS GREAT SIGHT Rer. H. A. Ott Write of the Sun's Eclipse. He Went All the Way to Colo rado To See It. Emmi BY M'DONNELL BODKIN 1 PAl JIIT MIRCK -THERULE RUM ZS r 1 i t U Vw WRITES VIVID DESCRIPTION Topeka Minister Says Spectacle Was Worth Trip. Even Snow Mountains Dark ened Under the Shadow. BY REV. H. A. OTT. It Is not often that one has the privi lege of sitting In the very, center of the dense shadow of a total eclipse of the sun and Intently watch the accom panying phenomena. I cannot re member of ever having witnessed such an eclipse. I made a special trip to the Rockies last, week, following up a love for astronomy which dated back to my high school and college days, that I might be in the path of this slxty-mlle-wide shadow when the auspicious "minute and a half came, during which the sun would absolute ly disappear behind the moon! You have read all kinds of descrip tions of this eclipse, but permit me to relate the story of how I saw it at the foothills of the Rockies in Colo rado. The succeeding phenomena leading up to the total eclipse and de parting from it, were precisely such as seen in other parts of the land where the eclipse was only partial. There was the first point of contact; the dent in the surface of the sun: the gradual pushing of an Immense dark body over the face of the king of day, etc., and all this was common. Darkness Came Rapidly. But to me the total, disappearance of the sun was the desideratum. This moment was timed in the neighbor hood of Denver at 6:22 p. m. By E o'clock the deep shadows were creep- In? on. The pall of night came on with such rapidity that made It rather grewsome. The stillness of the mo ments was being disturbed from sev eral directions by either defiant or alarming crows of roosters. In the distance I could see the great Continental Divide, reaching north and south as the Snowy Range, fully sixty miles away. At this season, the hoary peaks before me. Gray's, Tor rey's. Long's, the Arapahoes, etc., were, covered with immense banks of snow, rooking like mighty glaciers spread ing here and there over reaches, larger than a dozen quarter sections of land. These magnificent monsters stood out on the sky-line in great splendor, and the rays of the sun shining on them made them look sublime indeed. At this moment, hanging over the Snowy range was a beautiful cloud, balanced there as if held in the hand of the Almighty, and all over its fleecy sur face was the supreme whiteness of the sun's rays shining on and thru it. I picked out these distant objects as those upon which I would fix my gaze as the great shadow would sweep -from the northwest to the southeast across Colorado, and approach the spot from, which I held the vantage at a speed of forty miles a minute! 1 now believe this to have been a better point of view than that up at George town, where the evening before X had watching the sinking sun. At ar.y event. as the inspiring moment ap proaches I kept my eye on my watch, which I had carefully regulated, and those distant peaks. Was Inspirational. Presently I saw the great shadow approaching. It was Inspirational. J cannot tell you Just how it looked. It did not "look" at all; for first, I saw the white clouds 100 miles distant-melt away from my view, as if they wer.- blotted out. There flashed thru my mind the description of Isaiah touch ing God's forgiveness of sin: "I hav blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions." Then the great peaWi and the massive snowbanks lost their glitter and they too melted away. Now there only remained that Immense cloud, ever the range still all aglow with light, for it was nearer than six ty miles away. But It, too, in less time than I can tell you, lost Its lus ter, and absolutely disappeared from view. Then I realized that the mar vellous shadow would be- over me in less than ten seconds. In a moment like this one has to think with lightning speed In order to take In the surroundings. This was simply impos sible. In one hand I held at piece of smoked glass or an exposed photo graphic film. How I did long, at that moment, for the privilege of vlewlns the ragged edge of the moon thru a big telescope, as outlined there in the shadowy sky. now with Its mountains plainly visible thru the glass. The great flashes of fire, shooting out from the surface of the sun, looklne.like ten thousand gleams of a fiery aurora horealis. was a magnificent sight to behold. It remains for the astrono mer to analyse these fire-flashes, seen, so magnificently during this eclpse. However, let us look around about us at this specific moment. All na ture seemed suddenly willing to suc cumb to tie gloom of night. In the distance could be seen the twinkle of the electric lights in the city beneath us. The darkness about me was that common at present 'n Topeka at from 9 to 9:30 p. m In the distance one could discern buildings only in dim outline. The silence of the moment was oppressive. The voice of the cock was now stilled In awe. The doss howled and sought the companionship of man. The entire brute creatiofi grew nervous, and even men felt somehow that the world was akin to the time ot the first resurrection! Then -flic Jght Returned. In a moment or two there comes the welcome change of a returning day. First. I saw one hundred miles away, a faint streak, -ike a line of molten silver, Just at the edge of the horizon. It was the reflection front the clouds of the returning rays of the sun falling beyond the moon, and painting the clouds with right. Then the great mountain peaks, lifte their heads aloft and the immense banks of now began to gleam out afar. Pres ently, my great cloud-bank began to be resurrected snd snatches' of light were seen reaching the foothills, and to speed down over the plains. The great shadVrw, sixty miles across, had rushed by me, and was on its 3,000 mile Journey to the Florida coast and the Atlantic, which it would reach in in hour and twenty minutes. With a sigh I arose from the ground on which I had sat with all my para phernalia about me. How I wished that I could Immediately live over "Can you run over to Ireland. Mr. Backr "Certainly." "It la a painful ease." said kind hearted Mr. Warming-ton, "but I'd best tell you the partlcuara shortly and let you Judge for yourself what's to be done." Mr. Warm In gt on was one f the wealthiest and worthiest solicitors In London. He looked It a he stood there toying with his heavy gold guard with his back -to his own fireplace, though It was a sultry evening; In early autumn, there was no fire in the grata, Mr. Waindnftpn was six feet two of solid respecttfpt mannooo. as a rue ho was the Heart aad soul of good feBowsaip and good humor. But-now a look of uoeastnae sand perplexity shadowed his face like an ineffective cloud on the sun. "You kaoV ov brottar-la-law, the Honorable Mr. Burton r" Mr. Beck sodded grimly. He had heard ot o Honorable Mr. Burton not to his advantage. "Just so. Be was always. I am sorry to say, a trouble to his family. My wife though only a child at the time remembers some stormy scenes before ho went abroad. After .our marriage I did what I could for htm. but was very little use. -Though then well on in his fifties, he was as wild as a young -colt but not vicious, I'm bound to say.' Well, eight years ago he married an heiress who was young, beautiful, and passionately in love with the elderly scapegrace. He kept straight as a die while she lived, and was terribly cut up when she died about a year ago. She bequeathed to hire her whole property, real and per sonal, with perfect confidence.' as she wrote, 'in his loving care for their dear child. Florence.' 'lie plainly meant to go riM:' I must say that for him. Within a fort night after his wife's death he came to me to prepare a deed, 'as tight aa they draw them.' he said, assigning his whole property in Wiltshire, a dear five thousand a year and a beautiful house and grounds, to his little daugh ter, reserving only a moderate year'y allowance from his wife's personal property for himself. 1 cannot "trust myself, Warmlngton. he said, that's the truth of It. If I have the money I must splatter it." You may be sure the deed was as stria gent, as the law yers could make it, and he signed it without winking. "He seemed really devoted to the Rttla girl and took her about with him everywhere. But, my wife her aunt you know thought it would be good for the little one to be with children of her own age for awhile; so last Christmas she had her her for the Christmas tree, and the pantomime, and all that, with our own youngsters. "Her father brought her up to town from their place In Wiltshire and left her with us; but he would not stay himself. "Then. I suppose from loneliness, the Bohemian broke lose in him again. He fell Into his old ways, went the rounds I of the theatres and music -halls, more often behind the scenes than in front of them. In an evil hour on of the small hours of the morning most likely he fell In with Miss Trixle Mordant, the liveliest young lady that graces the boards of the "Empire.' "Well, I needn't tell you, when a man of sixty or thereabouts falls in love he comes a cropper. The clever young girl quickly coaxed him Into an offer of marriage, and then stood out for hand some settlements. -He began to regret his tolly In having assigned to his daughter. leaving himself without the power of proving his devotion to the 'most ador able of her sex, Miss Trixle. But Mi-j Trixle consulted solicitors on her own account, Sharkey A Snow, sharp fel Jows as you'll meet with in the eitv. "Then the whole truth came out. of course. They were not long, you may oe sure, putting my precious brother- in-law up to his legal rights. They are 1 now i nave reason to know Drenar lng marriage settlements, and making j over the whole property to Miss Trixle Mordant, in consideration of her mar- i na with the Hon. Fierce Burton.' 1 j "Surely the law won't allow that' J said Mr. Beck, "after he has given it j oy aeed to his dav "iterr" I The solicitor smiled with an air of superiority. "My dear Mr. Beck.- he said. "It's not for me to speak disrespectfully of the law, I -ft It does queer things some times. You see the deed to his daugh ter was what la called a "voluntary deed." The law has Terr Ilttla renrri for Voluntary deeds." 'Natural love and affection' Is not a "valuable con sideration' In the eyes of the law. Marriage, even with Mlts Trixle Mor dant Is a valuable consideration. As the law now stands under an old stat ute of Queen Elizabeth. If tha Wilt shire property is granted td Miss Trixle in consideration of her marrian wttfe th grantor, the deed to Florence Is not again those Impressive minutes thru which I had Just passed! Her was an event which will come back to this spot only three times lu the coming 1.000 years. It waa the event of a lifetime and I do not regret my nearly 600-mile Journey, each way, to wit ness it I found there other people Just as enthusiastic as I. At my side was the teacher of astronomy from Mt. Holyoke seminary in Massachu setts: Just beyond me waa a man from Virginia: over against me was a man from Ohio, and another from northern Montant etc.. and about me were five or six men with moving picture ma chines with which they vied to catch a moving glimpse of the heavenly wonder. I shall certainly read the descriptions of this marvel written by our men of science with a vastly greater interest than I would if I had been content to view th eclipse from a point where- It was only partial While all the surroundings were not ideal, some clouds interfering, it was an occasion which shall linger In my mind for many years to come. Greased Lightning (Copyright. 1918, by the McClur Newspaper Syndicate.) worth the parchment lt?s written on." "But surely the man will never strain th law to rob his own child?" cried Mr. Beck. "I'm not so sure of that I rather think h will in the long run If he gets the chance. The cunning Jade plays with him Ilk a salmon with the hook tight in his gills. Sh has run away to seaside village in th west of Ireland, and swears she won't as much as loot at him until the deed is" executed." "And -where la he? "Oh, he's in Ireland, too. at a cTaee .called Rathcool. In the south; cannot bear to have the sea betwen himself and bis charmer, I suppose, though at present tney are separated by the breadth of the island. There are let ters and telegrams flying between them every day; He won't hold out much longer, I'm afraid." "Could you appeal to th young lady's better feelings T" ""She hasn't any." "The law, you say. Is dear against you?" "Clear aa mud: as it stands." "Then I don't see any way out" "Well. I think I do. If luck serves ns we may, change the law and cheek mate the lady. Now I'm coming to the point of the whole matter. I need not remind you that what I say is in the strictest confidence." Mr. Warmlngton leaned reward Mr. Beck and Instinctively 'spoke rh a lower tone. ."We have Introduced a tmiet little bill in the House of Lords which will repeal the old Act of Queen Elizabeth which allows a man to defeat his own grant and will make Voluntary con veyances' absolute against what we call In law a "purchaser with notice.' The Lord Chancellor himself is lend ing a hand. The Instant our bill gets the royal assent the property is safe. The bill is half-way through the Lords. On of the. most popular lawyers in the House will steer It through the Commons. Popularity is everything in a case of the kind. The Lord Chan cellor has promised the royal assent by deputy, of course the day after -.he bin passes the third reading rn the Commons."

It was the knock of a very little hand, and .the door opening slowly showed a pretty little seven-year-old girl. At sight of the stranger she stard to run. But Mr. Warmlngton called out to her kindly: "Com here. Flossy.," "This is our client" he said to Mr Beck, as the little lady came shvly across th room. "Com here. Flossy, and shake hands with Mr. Beck: he's going to be a very good friend of yours. Mr. Beck dearly loved children. Some instinct told the little blue-eyed child that fact in a moment 8he climbed up on his knee snd pouted her rosy lips for a kiss. "Thank you," sh said her notlors of friendship were limited "Is it a doll? I have seven children and r-ne black boy, and no mammy for then. I have no mammy myself, you know. But pappy will always take care cf me." Mr. Warmlngton emlled crimTy nt this, while Mr. Beck patted the golden head with a strong. clumsy-Iook'ng hand that was gentler than a woman's in Its touch. "That will do, Floss," said Mr. Warmlngton, "don't bother Mr. Beck any more. Take some of those grapes and biscuits off the table, my pet ttna then-run away and play; shut the door after you. She turned at the door with a re minding finger raised for Mr. Beck. "Mind, a mammy doll, she said, and, sura enough a mammy doll arrived next day from Burlington Arcade ad dressed to "Miss Florence Burton." The door closed on the white dress and blue sash and tangle of gold curls. "I'll go." said Mr. Beck abruptly. "though I don't see yet that I can be of much use. Still I'd like, to do the datnty little lady a good turn if I could." "The other lady's address," said Mr. Warmlngton delightedly, "is Grand Royal Hotet Mount Eagle. County Clare.

I'll do the same." Mlas Trixle Mordant felt particularly dull after the first few days of her voluntary exile in th County Clare. The passionate appeals of her middle- aged adorer were monotonously dismal. "Tin Jiggered if five thousand a year would pay for this kind of thing as permanence," was Miss Trixle's unro- mantio comment, aa she rolled the eight-page letter in a bail and flung It under the grate. "After marriage well see," and she smiled dreamily reminiscent of small hour suppers with male adorers at the Criterion. But in a moment she grew more impatient than ever at the tantalising thought. She had coiled up in a big chair in the drawing-room, and gazed with dispar aging eyes out, over the Atlantic that stretched blue and broad to the hori zon's rim. Nothing to do and no on to talk to; that was her trouble. There were sev eral clergymen staying at the hotel, and a-middle-aged British tourist with a prim wife and three prim daughters. The festive Trixle, with her smart clothes and chlo ways. longed for someone to take her motoring. "If I only had somebody to laugh with me at these natives. I could en dure It" sh muttered disconsolately. Then her eyes wandered from the sea in front to the tennis ground on the left and at a glance she knew that Fate had been kind and her prayer an swered. A young man dressed in th ex treme of the fashion lounged across the ground, carelessly swinging a ten nis racket His blazer biased hot crimson and yellow in the hot sun shine: a little round straw hat with a rainbow ribbon was perched on the top of his flaxen head. His straw-colored mustache drooped heavily over a heavy mouth, and his round face wore a look of supercilious inanity. Miss Trixle's heart warmed to him at once as to a kindred spirit In five minutes she, too. strolled out on the ground in a perfectly, fitting suit of cream-colored serge, finished off with little tan shoes and open-work silk stockings. She was quit fluttered at first when she found a young man on the ground, and glanced at him shyly from under her long lashes when he dared to speak to her. But in two minutes they were In the midst of a lively single of tennis: in two hours they were "Trix" and "Jer." as if they had known each other all their lives; In two days th young man was head and ears in love with the lively young lady, and followed her about everywhere like- a faithful dog. "He's Just my sort." she wrote to her special friend. Miss Myrtle Mont gomery, of the Liberty Music HalL "Togs first-rate, free with his coin, green as they grow them, and gone a regular cropper on your humble. We are haying a real high old time of it You should see how we shock the na tives In this place." So Miss Trixle led her young man about on a string. That lively young lady was planning a sea-bathing expedition, "a la Bou logne," as she wrote Miss Myrtle of the Liberty. "The bathing-boxes are the difficul ty, my dear. The gentlemen don't use boxes her. or costumes for that mat ter. It's too awfully shocking. But I will pull my plan off. you'll see, even if I have to lend Jer a pair of my own tights for the occasion. It will Just give the old tabbies here fits." "But I say you must," said Miss Trixle to her companion, who was feebly remonstrating as they sat close together all by themselves on the couch at the hotel drawing-room. "I'll manage the costume.. Oh! bother you come in." It was a telegram for Miss Mordant- A monosyllable escaped from her rosy lips as she read It. Then she pettishly tore the pink paper Into nieces and flung the fragments tnto the waste oasKet tnat stood by the empty fire place. tNow what have I done?" she cried repentantly the next moment "and M Sharkey especially warned me to be carerul. Pick up the bits for me, Jer. like a dear love." Mr. Jerome Bloodsmlth Instantly buried himself head and shoulders in the basket He quietly slipped an oia telegram or his own from his pocKet, and under cover of the basket tore It to pieces In his big- hands he. fore he rescued the f-agments of Miss -inxie's. She took the bits he gave her. liirtit ed a match, and burned them to ashes in tne empty grate. Half an hour afterward Mr. Jerome Bloodsmlth. In his bedroom with the door locked, made a pble map of bits of pink paper on his dressing table. ana tms is wnat he read there: Just discovered child's friends Putting bill through Parliament to secure her in property. Hop to put spoke in their wheel yet. Must N hurry up with deed. Is the old man willing? Sharkey." As he finished reading he saw with the eorssr of his eye through the win dow Hiss Trixle on her bicycle riding down the llal in front of th hotel. In a moment he was out and after her, making his machine fly. He drew abreast about a quarter of a mil from th post office. "On for a spin?" he said.' as h crept up to her side; she was going a good twelve miles an hour. "When I've sent a wire. It was Im portant, and I could not trust it to the hotel folk." "Why didn't you ask me?" "Couldn't find you. Thought you wer gone-to bed. If all right now, anyway." She slipped off dexterously behind her machine at th post office, and stepped out and np to th telegraph counter. The telegraph instrument In th ofllce was on of th old-fashioned af fairs that conscientiously tap out their messages. Among his manifold ac complishments In another condition of life, Mr. Jerome Bloodsmlth had learn ed to Interpret these telegraph taps. This is what they told him now: To SharHey Snow, London: Send on deed at once. Old man has consented to execute. Mordant" Th Innocent young man's fac was full only of admiration whan sh cam skipping out. of th ofllce, her wire dispatched. She laughed outright at his mooncalf look; her gay spirits quite came back to- her, and she mad as though she would kick the little straw hat from his head a feat she could have accomplished with great ease if so minded. "Come on." she cried gaily, "let's ride back together." As they went down the read together on their bicycles, Mr. Bloodsmlth sud denly remembered. "By Jov," he said, "I want to send a wire, too. If y don't mind." "All right." she- laughed hack him: "give her my love, dear, and a I'm not Jealous." He flew back to the post off! where he scribbled five words Warmlngton: "Bill blown upon.

"T: Sh turned at the door with a Voluntary Conveyances Bill" bad slipped quietly through all its stages In the House of Lords. It was set down amid a miscellaneous collection of other unopposed bills on the order paper of the House of Commons en the very Monday that Mr. Blood smith's wire dropped like a bombshell Into Mr. Warmlngton's ofllce. 'Order! Order!" said the Speaker, as the minute hand and hour hand came together at twelve on the clock under the gallery that marks, the seat of the Prince of Wales. "The Clerk will now proceed to read the orders of the day." The time had come for the consider ation of unopposed business, the most Interesting and amusing of all times In the House of Commons. For now the utterance of th vague formula, "I object," by any member can block any business at any stage. This night some champion blockers were off guard, and several bills went forward a stage, to tha delight of their chaperons. Then there waa a turn In th; tide of fortune.

"My eye!" sh exclaimed in amaze ment "what's come to that fellow?" Meanwhile Mr. Beck for he was Mr. Beck again. In spite of the peach blossom complexion and the amber colored mustache was strangely oc cupied In his locked bedroom. There was a timetable open beside him. and a big railway map of Ireland spread out on the quilt of his bed, at which he was busy with a pair of compasses and blue pencil. v After a brief study of the timetable he turned to the map and marked a spot on th Southern Trunk Railway, where the highroad runs over it on a bridge at the head of the steepest gradient on the line. Then he con sulted the timetable- again. The spot he marked was almost midway be tween -two stations on the main line. Th third station further on was the "Rath cool and Knockcrany Junction." which branched off thlry miles of narrow-gauge, ending at RathcooL The Lightning Express train would pass th spot ha marked at about t o'clock p. m. The local train that met it at the Junction was the last that night The earliest train next day was timed to start at 2: IS p. m. and arrive at 4: OS at RathcooL Then Mr Beck measured th dist ance carefully with his compass be tween the blue spot he had marked out on th map and Mt Eagle. In the County of Clare, and ticked the miles off on the scale. "A little more than a hundred," he "Mind, a mammy doll I" she said- muttered. "There is time enough to do it But It's deuced risky work and dead against the law. WelL I've helped the law so often in my day that it must make allowance this once. Be sides, the Job is Mr. Bloodsmlth 's, not Mr. Beck's, and it is the last th very last chance of helping th little lady. So here goes!" His mind made up, he lost no time in preparation. He thrust himself Into a thin, plain, dark-colored outing suit In which the great muscles of his legs and arms rolled and swelled. He fished out a strong bicycle bag, fitted with straps to be carried on th handlebar, and packed In a very singular fashion. The two tin cans which held th oil for his bicycle lamp and the lubricat ing oil for th bearings were Mr. Beck's sole baggage on his projected expedition. These two greasy cans. both quite full, he wrapped up care fully in a couple of Mr. Bloodsmlth'a large, handsome ailk hankerchlefs and crammed into the beg. Quietly and quickly the bag was fitted to the bars, and Mr. Beck slipped into 1 the saddle at th hotel door and was I off at a good, steady twelve miles an j hour.

All day long on his high-geared ma- chin Mr. Beck pushed on at th sum steady, unchanging, untiring pace.- Only once, when more than half of his Journey was accomplished, did he stop at a wayside Inn for a crust ot bread and a pint of stout Evening began to close in.

He cshild Just distinguish the steep slope aa the road rose abrupt ly and leaped over the railway. Ha dropped off at the foot lifted th bi cycle over th wooden railings, and stood it carefully In th shadow of the bridge wall. He took th bag from,, th handlebars and walked with It down to th rails. A faint metallla gleam came from the rails, that stretched like two threads of light away Into th darkness. Mr. Beck took on of th stTk ban, kerchiefs from the bag and shook out the folds. H drew th cork of on of the oil cans witdi his teeth, soaked -th silk as full as It could hold; then, bending down over the near rail, h began smearing th smooth metal thickly with oil. So he worked stead, lly and swiftly for mora than a hun dred yards down th steep gradient, until one can of oil was exhausted. BJe crossed the line and came up. mop ping and daubing the other mil irons th other can in th same plentiful fashion. Then he took his stand, tight between the rails at the head of th gradient under the bridge, with cool night wind sweeping past him. "I hope I am safe here." he flut tered, "right in the track of tha mall train." Almost as he spoke there appeared -a steady white star, distant and low. The wind was blowing almost straight -down th line. Under a full head of steam, the engine of the Lightning Kx press, with a longtraln trailing behind In the darkness, came thundering up th Incline. Then suddenly the wheels struck the oil. There was an Instant change In the roar of the train: th rough Jar and rattle died out of it But th acquired momentum stilt forced the huge weight forward, the wheels sliding like a horse's hoofs on an Icy pavement and taking no grip on the greased metal. The engine came on slowly and more slowly, until It was within twenty yards of where Mr. reck stood at the and of the greased It wavered, stood still for one econd, and then began, silently -owly at first to slip back down slope, gaining steed as It went. j wheels slid helplessly on the oiled steel. The engine, like a wounded monster, shrieked horribly through the still night Far away, down at th foot of the long gradient the train at last came to a dead halt The sound of th opening and shutting of many doors and the babble of excited voices struggled faintly up against th wind to the listening Mr. Beck. He knew the train waa safe for the night. So he drew his bicycle from Its shelter with an easy mind, and with the wind at his back went sailing away swiftly and smoothly along the road he came, which stretched Ilk a faint gray streak Into th night Next day, at :30 o'clock, while Mr. Snow, with th deed in his black calf skin bag. was still a long five miles from Rathcool and was vigorously cursing the go-as-you-please light rail, way. a very curious performance waa in progress in the House of Lords. The little Lord Chancellor, with a eocked bat perched on his huge be hive wig, waa seated on th broad scarlet woolsack. Two othsr lords, resplendent In scarlet and ermine, were beside him. This "combination company' represented th absent Ma. Jesty of England. There were a num. ber of other performers in a variety of costumes. But most remarkable of all was a very tall man, wearing a wig of particularly whit horsehair, a Ions black gown, aad a fac of preternatural solemnity. A shorter man was read, lng a list of Mils which had passed through th storms of Lords and Com mons, and were now sailing peacefully Into port. As each title was read tha tall man Jerked himself half around, like an automaton en springs, bowed to the empty throne, and with the me tallic twang of a phonograph uttered the magic formula that converted th bill Into an Act of Parliament "The Voluntary Conveyance BUI read tha short man.

J i Men Go Into No Man's Land Carrying Two Revolvers. Washington. June 15. American Ingenuity has discovered a means of circumventing the deadly mustard gas, according to an American army officer, who recently returned from the front. With all fear of gas ban ished, American patrols are going out Into No Man's Land every night armed only with a brace of-automatic re volvers. These men have earned the name of "the two gat men," and they own No Man's Lend after much the same fashion as the "two gun" man of the wild west frequently was hi as ter of frontier towns. The Americans have found that the mustard gas, so heavy that it will seep thru ordinary clothing and burn the flesh hours after a gas attack, will not penetrate rubber. It has been the custom of Germans to place liauld mustard oil in shell holes and depressions near their front lines. As a result, many men on night patrol, creeping from shell hole to shell hole where they took cover when the star bombs were sent up, lost their lives. Use Kabbor Uniforms. In order to aid them in worming their way across the muddy trails o' No Man's Land, the Americans hit upon the idea of wearing a rubber uniform much like a union suit that Is laced up the back. They found that mustard gas would, not penetrate the close weave- of the suit and by wear ing gloves and a heavy gaa mask they have "been Immune to all gases en countered. The only weapons carried by many of these men is a brace of heavy au tomatic revolvers. The guns, if nickled, are painted or covered with mud lest they give-off a glitter. The-Americans have found that they, can attack or fight off the ene my In a patrol much, better with re volvers than with the rifle. Fpeclal equipment for front-line troops is being devised which will have all the merits of the rubber uni form, but will not be as expensive.

o w --s .vsrr "hiktx r THE TOPEKA DAILY StXtE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1918 19 V 5r Copyright by the McCIure Newspaper Syndicate. New York City.) Tiro New Frem-h Color Cards Show Tlmt Beige, and Dark Blue Will Hold Their Supreme Places Thru out Next -Season, and the Combina tion of the Two Is Good. New York. Long ago, France de cided to, wear beige, sand color, biscuit color, or whatever else they wished to call It. In America, we grouped all the colors under the one name of beige. It was an easier word for the majority to handle. At first, we did not take to the color with any violent enthusiasm. As a nation, we are sufficiently youthful to like colors that are vivid and to avoid those that are negative. Bright Colors Preferred. Brilliant black is to us a far more attractive color than pale gray or bis cuit. We rarely endorse faintly flow ered .pastel tints. It is said by tHose who study dress that we are not as hopeless in our combinations of bright' colors as certain sections of Great Britain, and one must admit that we are more inclined to combine drab tones In an ugly way than almost any other nation in the world. One almost feels that It would be better to sea a woman in a rural community put on a yellow bodice and a red skirt than a light gray shirtwaist and a faded black skirt. Every-day frock for war relief work, of dark blue charmeuse, with collar and cuffs of beige taffeta. The vest is of beige chiffon. The peasants of other countries know far more about the brilliancy of clothes and color combinations than do the workaday people who spread themselves over this continent be tween the cities. This dictum does not apply .o the young, however; it rests upon the heads of those who are at or Aver middle age. Knowing this tendency on the part of many Americans, those who see clothes in a mass, as from an aero plane, are not sure that beige is the best color to exploit in this country. One has to say that it must be worn with blue or black and that It must be combined In an exceptionally ar tistic manner, or the effect is bad. Beige is exceedingly smart; of that there is no doubt; but it takes a Frenchwoman or a certain type of well groomed American to carry off a whole costume of beige. Vsed To Knlivcii Dark Blue. There are certain complications that must be seriously taken Into account before a woman dashes a big collar and cuffs of biscuit or beige on a dark blue gown. The sketch shows a model which Is admirable to copy and which is worn with distinction: but the woman who makes it her -own must be quite sure that the flaring collar of biscuit placed next to the skin of the neck and shoulders does not cast a pallor over the face that nothing but a rouge pot can offset. This gown is of dark blue charmeuse nnd is one of the new summer models. The skirt is narrow and plain, the col lar and cuffs are of beige taffeta, and the gathered chemisette, with its round decolletage, is of beige chiffon cloth. There is a bit of patent leather flecked with red at the waistline, and there are two pleated tabs of beige taffeta hanging at each side. Women who wish standardisation of clothes which means a uniform, are delighted at the tendency of the smart women to adopt deep beige or khaki colorcd gowns for the street. They ara usually unbecoming; no one but a woman who has a brilliant color. In or out of the rouge pot. can stand this devastating color next to her skin. It blights whatever beauty nature or art may have given her. However, the fact that there ara so many uniforms for various relief work organizations, has brought the color into prominence; and even those who do not Indulge in a. uniform or haven't the privilege of wearing one, seem to have a desire to dress themselves much like soldiers. Ingenuity of the highest order will be required to keep us from looking like dead leaves cov ered with dust. Nearly 1.000 employes of the General Electric company, at Srnenectndy. N. Y., are cultivating garden plors, provided by the company, to mfeet the high cost of living. THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by ANNE KITTENHOCSE Where Good Sense Fails. Just why the idea of purple and yel low chiffon underwear or scarlet un derwear trimmed with wide black lace seems decadent, morbid, if not posi tively depraved, it is hard to say. Yet the average woman when 'she pauses to gaze at the new barbaric colored and wholly out-of-the-beaten-path ur.derthings that are shown in some of the shop windows has a feeling of having looked upon something that indicated an entirely wrong trend in woman's fashion. Yet she can look at the new bathing suits that have surely carried the fabric conserving idea beyond the demands of mere patriotism and that show all sorts of queer contrasts in design without a qualm. At worst she is merely amused. Evening gowns the most barbaric strike most women as "prob ably entirely appropriate if one has money enough to wear that sort of thing." or "well enough If you go In for extremes."- But underwear that is loo widely wandering from the trairht and narrow path of the con ventional idea of what underwear should be Is branded as miquiious. i wonder what sort of creature would wear that sort of lingerie," one woman whispers to her companion In a tone that clearly indicates that she has In mind exactly the only sort of creature that would so stoop from dignity. After all It may be that this is a bit of inconsistency mis poini ui vie. It may be that we are in a transition period. Perhaps before long colored and Drigni coioreu o. will ba looked UDon as a mat ter of course. Perhaps before long with a greater and greater Bimpmit tion of outer apparel women will get to regard their underthings as a suit able part of the wardrobe In the se lection of which to display individu ality and personal preferences in color and design. In Paris, you know, extremely elab orate and eccentric lounging robes were the direct result of the wartime necessity for simpler, plainer street and outdoor apparel. Evening gowns were a thing of the past. Women had no place to express their taste in the usual sort of clothes, so they simply had to wear more elaborate and more fantastio "robes lntlmes." Some of the new underthings that go contrary to the old Ideas are those made of cafe-au-lalt chiffon cloth that Is trimmed with colored ribbons and elaborate lace. Sometimes chiffon cloth of this color has v accordion pleated flounces and ruffles of soft black lace. One set including a night gown was made of cafe-au-lalt trimmed with cerise velvet- ribbon. And be it whispered that cerise velvet ribbon Is also chosen to trim some of the smart new purple underthings. Then there Is a night gown of pur ple satin bound all around the edges with scarlet. Bright purple and dull green are colors chosen for one set of lingerie. A rose and blue- set might pass unchallenged were it not trimmed with scarlet ribbons. 744,865 REGISTERED Equals Expectation of War Depart ment. Washington, June 15. Nearly com plete reports to the provost marshal general's offlca show that 744,865 young Americans who have become of age in the last year, registered for military service June 6. This Is 266, 724 below the estimate of the census bureau, but since more than 200,000 unregistered 21-year-old a" .aady are enlisted in thejirmy, navy or marine corps, the military authorities find the result entirely satisfactory. Army and navy estimates place the number of 21-year men enlisted at 208,588. This figure combined with the falling off In alien registration gives a total of 353,636, which means that the census bureau apparently missed the number of eligibles by only 18,000. "It Is confidently believed this num ber will be made up by belated regis trations, yet to be heard from, includ ing among them the registration of the absentees which is accomplished by mall," said a statement issued 'by Provost Marshal General Crowder in giving out figured on the basis of' re ports to date.
