"An enterprise which must be car ried cut as soon as possible, Gen eral Brancker said, "is the flight of the Atlantic. There is really no rea son why a considerable number of big airplanes and seaplanes should not cross the Atlantic during nut sum mer." British Will Try It. General Brancker disclosed the fact that the British air council had def initely decided upon transatlantic air craft flights in order to find a route for tste movement of American-made aircraft to the front. His mission in this city has to do with arrangements for the pioneer flight in which it is hoped the United States government will co-operate. Via Azores and Portugal.

FEELING INTENSE IN AUSTRIA OVER FOOD SITUATION Reduction of Bread Ration Is Hotly Protested. Austrian Newspapers Attack Germany and Hungary. POLICE USED DRAWN SABERS 100,000 Munitions Workers Go Out on Strike. Strikes and Blots Are Still Spreading. Paris, June 21. Fifty thousand demonstrators who marched thru the streets of Vienna Thursday night shouting: "peace! bread! and pillag ing shops, were charged by the police with drawn sabers, according to a Zurich dispatch to the Journal today. Many of the civilians were injured. Newspapers Protest LonCon, June 21. Further informa tion confirming reports of intense re sentment and excitement in Austria over the reduction of the bread ration is quoted from Austrian newspapers by the correspondent of the Times at The Hague. Among the subsidiary causes of the anger is the fact that notification of the reduction was not made until Mon day noon, altho it had been enforced from early that morning when loud and excited protests were raised. Pre mier von Seydler is accused by the Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna of prodncing a disastrous situation by favoring the agrarians and traders. It says the situation could certainly have been prevented. The paper rails against Germany and Hungary and tells the authorities they must im mediately draw the attention of those countries to the fact that food con ditions in Austria are intolerable and demand necessary assistance. It adds: Rail at Germany. The Austrian population cannot starve while Germany and Hungary have tolerably adequate rations. The Austrian government munrt be placed under tutelage even in matters' relat ing to the food supply. It has de served to be subjected to guardianship CoPtiDued on Page Two.)

AUSTRIANS NOW ADMIT THEY ARE ON DEFENSIVE Italian Troops Beoccnpy Im portant Positions. Make Gains AH Along Battle Front. the SERIOUS RIOTS HARASS HUNS Heavy Rains May Cause Fur ther Rise on Piave. Italians Trying To Capture Trapped Enemy Troops. (By the Associated Press.) Austria's offensive against Italy ap parently has resolved itself into a de fenslve movement both in the moun tains and along the Piave. While fac ing allied counter attacks on the fight ing front the Austrian government Is being harassed in Vienna and else- Where by popular outbreaks caused by food conditions. Italians Gain Ground. Spurred on by their successful re sistance, Italian troops are making re peated attacks against the enemy po- sitions west of the Piave and have gained some ground. In the moun. tains around .Asiago, Franco-Italian troops have reoccupled important po sitions. Wednesday the bag of Aus trian prisoners aggregated nearly 2. 000, bringing the total captures to 11,000. Vienna Admits Defensive. Vienna, in its official statement ad mits that its troops are on the de fensive and is content to report that all Italian attacks, especially along the Piave, have been repulsed. The fight ing is now in its seventh day and the Austrians west of the Piave probably are in a more precarious position than at any time since last Saturday. Around Montello on the northern end of the Piave line, the Austrians have been driven back slightly. Their efforts to advance near Zenson near the center of the line have been checked with severe losses. At Ean Dona di Piave and on the Fossetta canal the Italians have driven the en emy from ground gained earlier in the week. River May Go Higher. Heavy rams wre-rep" erfed" In the mountains and these may add to the torrent in the Piave which already has washed away many bridges. With the flooded river behind the enemy, the Italian counter attacks are gaining in strength' in an effort to wipe out or capture the troops which have crossed the Piave and have been unable to advance into the. Venetian plain. 100,000 Out on Strike. Riots are reported In suburbs of Vienna and 100,000 workers in impor tant war manufactories are on strike there. The situation apparently is growing beyond "control of the civil authorities, and martial law in the Austrian capital is not unlikely. The workmen continue to demand more bread and the agitation is spreading. Advices received in neutral countries are to the effect that the present trouble is the most serious the Aus trian government has faced, and is causing grave apprehension thruout the country.

Subnormal fighting activity con- appear to be the only ones who are busy, and the actions which have oc cupied them have not been extensive. Americans Attack. West of Montdidier American troops in a short and desperate engagement have cleaned out German trenches and machine gun nests at Cantigny. Most of the Germans who remained to fight the Americans were killed, while number were made prisoner. Berlin officially claims that German troops have penetrated the American trenches at Seicheprey. The falsity of this re port is shown by a dispatch from the American front which says that the penetration was only an attempted raid by sixty Germans. French Transport Down. Announcement is made of the tor pedoing in the Mediterranean of the French transport Sant' Anna with the loss of 638 lives. The vessel was sunk on May 10, and 1,512 of the soldiers and native workmen on board were saved. MERCURY WILL FALL Meteorologist Flora Promises It Will Drop to 65 Tonight.

There is no general criticism of the government present policy but there is a great desire for information.

Earl Curzon's speech in the house of lords last night immediately seized upon In the lobby as an admission of a breakdown in the government's Irish policy, indi cating, as it did, the abandonment for the present at least, of any attempt to introduce a home-rule bill, is treat ed in this morning's newspapers as a sensational development and is made the theme of sharp comment. "Home Rule Dead." "Home rule is dead; Irish conscrlp' tlon is dead," say the radical Daily News, "and the whole Irish policy of the government has fallen crumbling to the ground. "From the opening to the close of this last wretched chapter in the his tory of the Irish question, the govern ment has been consistently disingenu ous, vacillating and dilatory.

Rapid Troop.-Jffbvements Are Being Kept Up. Washington, June 21. American soldiers now hold thirty-eight miles of trenches in France, members of the house military committee learned at the war department today. The west front battle line from the North sea to Switzerland today is about 485 miles. The Americans therefore are holding slightly less than one-twelfth of the whole line to day. Troop movements have been kept up despite the necessity of shipping in creased supplies, because ships have been run on schedule or better, the committee was told. The committee also received en couraging figures on production of machine guns and small arms am munition. One month's production of thirty caliber ammunition amounted to 205,000.000 rounds.

THEYU DRAW REGULAR WAGES Nothing To Stand in Way of Their Rapid Advancement. War Has Called Men to Colors and to Ship Yards. The effects of the war upon. labor conditions and the real entrance of women into the mechanical industries of the country were evidenced today in Topeka in the announcement by M. J. Drury, superintendent of the shops of th'e Atchison, Top ska Santa Fe railway, that girls were now employed in men's capacity in the main shops of this road in this city. Garbed In overalls, with caps daintily flounced over their "done up" hair, these girls are working to day alpngside the men in- the tool de partment, in the balcony, and in the upholstering departments of the shops. Undaunted by the grind of machinery, the whirr of wheels, the screech of saws and belts and the hissing of steam, these girls are making good. Superintendent Drury has built rest rooms for the girls where they will be at liberty to -etire at ail times and where they will be well cared for by the company. "They are learning fast and they have been there but a short time, Superintendent Drury said today. "When they have attained their effi ciency they will be paid on the same basis as men." Shops Are Hard lilt. The Santa Fe shops in Topeka, so necessary to the upkeep of motive power, passenger and freight equip ment on the 10,000 miles of Santa Fe railway, and at this time repairing lo comotives from several eastern rail roads, are doing big work toward the winning of the war. Not only this, but hundreds of men have left the shops in the last year to enter the ranks of the army. Scores of the expert mechanics have been called to thewahip yards in the east and on the -Western coast and more are planning to go. j l- It has made it vitally necessary that the Immense task of this largest rail, way repair shop in the world be car ried out to the efficiency demanded of it and to the reputation it always has maintained. So the call has gone out to the women. They have responded nobly. Thirty of them are at work at the shops now. More will be used to fill up the ranks. It is a, new departure In shop labor in this country. CIVirWAR IS ON Czecho-SIovaks Hold Siberian Grain Supply. Trotzky Organizing; To Move Against Them. 1 By the Associated, Press.) Moscow.

The weekly food ration in Austria the Daily Mail cor respondent at the Hague quotes the Arbeiter Zeltune of Vienna as reDort- ing as follows: Twenty-two ounces of bread: one pound of potatoes of which half can not be. eaten; one ounce of black b-an masn; one ounce of another m:ii pro duct; an ounce and half of fat, six ana one-half ounces of sugar: on ertg; seven ounces of meat and a lit tle isjn and coffee substitute."

Government Must Act. Copenhagen, June 21. The situa tion at Prague, Bohemia, and the in dustrial centers in that district, says the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna, has become so serious that the Austrian government will either be compelled to increase the bread ration or run the risk of still further exciting; the working people. In the latter event, the newspaper declares, railway com munications would be cut off and a revolution would break out. TO FLY ACROSS fCentlnued from Pace On.) available, but It is known to have at tained a speed of 141 miles an hour and Is believed to have exceeded 160 miles an hour at an altitude of 3,000 feet. The best previous speed of fighting planes has not been more than 125 miles per hour. Would Save Shipping. '"The- sooner a pioneer proves the flight not only is possible, but com paratively safe," General Erancker said, "the better can the wonderful resources of America be employed to ward winning the war. Once this has been established, America's output of big bombing machines can proceed to R-jrope by air and so save the ship ping that lc so Invaluable for other purposes." He told of Oreat Britain's struggle both with production and administra tion of the air forces, resulting finally In the formation of the air ministry, of which he is a member. General Brancker said the flight de pended upon three factors. Engine reliability, weather and successful weather forecasting. In his confer ences with American officials, it has been determined that very accurate forecast of weather for the whole course can be made and the new British high power Rolls-Royce engine n lully demonstrated its reliability. Either a sea boat or a large airplane equipped with two of these S75 horse power engines, the general said, would have ample engine power to make the trip probably at an average altitude of 5.000 feet. Liberty motors are of higher horsepower but have not been used In sufficient quantity as yet In the opinion of British officials to make certain their reliability. They are convinced, however, that by next year the motor will have been learned so fully by operators and manufacturers that It will be the machine relied upon to carry to Europe the long range bombing planes of American manu facture upon 'which the British are very largely relying; in their determ ination to carry bombing raids to Berlin. STOP ANOTHER (Cod tinned from Fags One.t port received from Italians general headquarters today. "Repeatedly enemy attempts to take Mount Corono were broken up," the statement said. "We succeeded In eliminating the western San Dona salient. "Several enemy divisions attacked Zenson but were checked." Stout Italian resistance has again stopped the Austrians in their efforts to extend theii front on the Montello plateau, the keystone of the Italian defense on the Piave river. Official-.nnouncement Is made at Rome that the Austrians were defeat ed in a drive yesterday on the north eastern section of the plateau and that only on the south were they able to make any progress whatever. The enemy was able to cross the Monte-belluna-Susgana railway at several points near Nervesa station bun even at this point was promptly stopped. Net, Result Insignificant. Nervesa is a village on the west bank of the Piave on the extreme southeastern poir.t of the Montello piateau. The ra.lroad mentioned is not shown on military maps and prob ably has been built quite recently. On the north and ni est the plateau slopes up steeply to wooded heights, while on the sopth are lowlands similar to those further down, where the Austrians have been .-necked by the Italiun de fense. As the Austrians have for some days held positions near Nervesa, the net result of their lasT attack is ap parently insignificant. American Aviators There. American aviators are now aetivein engaged on the Piave-front. It was announced early ir. the week that they were on their way to the battle area and it is reported they have featured their arrival by participating in a bombing expedition against the Brldge3 the Ausfriar.s hnv across the river. They were success ful in damaging a bridge and their work satisfied the commander of the Italian aerial forces under wh. are fighting.

NEWSPAPERS RAP IContlnned from Page Ooe.i burned its fingers very badly by a mixture of rashness and. inconstancy. hat will be the effect of this abject surrenuer to tho lntranslgeance of Irish discontent and the arrogance of the Irish CathoMc hierarchy remains to be seen. Every new departure and experiment in Irish policy brings us back to the bedrock fact the neces sity and the inevitability of the main- tenance or the union.- Heavy Hand for Ireland. The rigidly -partisan newspapers are hardly less severe. "Irish priests and hishnno din played' a leading parf-ln killing both home rule and conscription," says the Daily Express. 'If the moderates prevail -and crime ceases then, per haps, when peace comes there may be another opportunity for home rule. If crime and treason continue, then Ireland must expect, and will cer tainly experience, the heavy hand. Lord French will see that there is no rebellion in Ireland." The Graphic says: "Much Sterner Measures Required." "The worst elements in Ireland have been allowed by the government to get the upper hand.

ever since 1798. Much sterner meas ures are required before order can be restored." What Cnnon Said. Earl Curzon. of Kedleston, in his speech last night, replying on behalf of the government to criticism of the government's Irish policy, said the revelation of the Sinn Fein conspiracy made it'impossible for the government to pursue Its home rule policy for the time being. Earl Curzon said the cabinet be lieved it better to get 60,000 volun teers than to secure a large number at the cost, perhaps, of civil war. The promise of land, he continued, waa not a bribe, but was the same policy being pursued in England, under the small holdings act.

The gas you burn left the field many hours previously and was sent through the system of lines and compressing; stations in anticipation of your demand. Elaborate qn the illustration. Suppose a cold day dawns sud- denly in early spring- or late autumn, after a week or two of warm weather. The cold day Is not expected by the pressure dispatcher. He Ms only a few hours warning at best. At first Intimation of a cold snap he turns every resource of the system to meeting; the heavy demand for heating gas he knows ia coming. Often his leeway is not enough to build up pressures sufficiently. Were It possible to foretell the weather accurately' a week in advance every cold wave would be met on time by all of the available gas. KANSAS NATURAL GAB CO.

The playing, Thursday, in the third round, was the most spoctacnlar fol lowers of the stars have watched and there waa much dope upsetting. Ar thur Bonebrake, the 17-year-old Kan sas champion, who was looked upon as a strong title contender, was put out of the running by a fellow To pekan, Frxnk Griggs, 3 and 2. Griggs was, playing his, best golf while "Boney" was unable to show the spec tacular form that has previously made him an easy winner over Griggs. Campbell a Surprise. However, the sensational upset of the day came when E. A. "Pat" Camp bell, also of Topeka, came in with the scalp of Harry Decker of the Swope Park club, dangling from his beit. (38 WSI E. A. Campbell, Topcka's Surprise in Transmlssisslppi. Decker was touted as one of the strong favorites, but Campbell wore him out and won,' 3 and 2. After the match Decker, said: "'Campbell shoots the kind of game that makes me play sloppy golf. The next time I meet a player like that I am going to forget the man and shoot against par." This statement shows that thi Kan sas Cltian took his defeat to heart, as did many of his local friends, who were banking big on him, but all con cede that Campbell is entitled to great credit for his well earned victory. Snyder Out for Honors. Aside from the two Topekans left in the championship flight, R. G. Bush, Jr., of New Orleans and G. L. Conley of Brooklyn, formerly of Kan sas City, were matched in the semi finals today and-ttie -winner will go against the winner of the Griggs Campbell match tomorrow in the last thirty-six hole grind that will determine- the winner. Geo. W. Snyder, another Topekan, appears to be put for honors and today was playing Hugh Darling of Swope Park in the finals of the surprise flight. Snyder survived the semi finals Thursday by defeating Ray Bar num of Hillcrest 5 and 4. Two other Kansans who are left in the running were playing each other today in the finals of the secretary's flight. They are. H. F. Bagby of the Wichita' Country club and Fred Eber hardt of Salina. BY JACK VEIOCK. New 1'ork, June 21. Foxy Fred Mitchell is making good as manager of the Cubs. The erstwhile veteran pitcher, catcher and coach has given Chicago a National league ball club with a punch, and the season of 1918 marks the first time Chicago has had such a club since the heydays of Frank Chance. Of course, Charles Weeghman and the associate stockholders of the Cubs pulled open the purse strings and went into the market for talent, but with Alexander gone in the draft their biggest "buy" has been' taken from them. The Cub boss knows baseball Inside out. He is proving it in the way he is handling his club. But his strongest point, perhaps, is his handling of pitchers. An old pitcher himself, Mitchell knows all there is to know about the art of performing on the rubber. He can look over his hurlers in warm-up practice and select the right one seven times out f ten, which is a mighty good average. Furthermore, he has an uncanny faculty of sending his heavers against opposing clubs at the right time. The wrk he has been getting out of Vaughn and Tyler has been largely re sponsible for keeping the Cubs in the winning class. These two veteran pitchers represent the backbone of his staff, now that Alex is wearing khaki, and at the end of the season their work will show to much better ad vantage if they escape injuries and are not overworked, things which are unlikely with Mitchell on the Job.

IV Inquirers should be careful to ob serve two points: Knclose a 3-oetrt stamp and address their letters to Washington, as above, and not to Topeka. otherwise de lav and needless expense are Incurred. Three months hag elapsed since the Huns began their 1918 attempt to break thru the allied lines on the west ern front, and th.e movement now Is at a standstill, with those lines still In tact. There Is every Indication that In this year's campaign the enemy has put forth his maximum effort and he has failed to attain his objective. From this time forward ho will be less and less able to make headway against the allied defensive, the power of which is being steadily increased by the ar rival of American soldiers. The time cannot be far distant when the armies of the kaiser will be placed, on the de fensive. How long they; -will or can hold out is problematical. What hag taken place on the western front seems in a fair way to be repeated In Italy. After months of preparation for their great offensive the Austrians have been unable up to this time to make any important progress. The longer success is delayed -the less likely it is to crown their efforts. Drawn battles between powers growing weaker and those which are growing strongor can not fall to- result in an advantage to the latter. The soldiers' voting law, which so many of' the states have adopted-, will materially add to the cost of this year's elections, if the figures which .Massachusetts adduces are significant for the whole countiy. In 19H, un der the Massachusetts statute. Bay state soldiers, then -on the Mexican-4 frontier, were permitted to vote. Fifty-nine citizen-soldiers availed themselves of the privilege at a total cost to the state of t6.777.2B, or at the rate of 114. 87 per vote. The entire expense might be eliminated by sub stituting a system of voting by proxy. The war cannot possibly last much longer. The Germans are said to be out of tobacco. How can an army without tobacco continue to fight? Day by day the American casualty lists are 'engthening. Buying war -savings certificates will not shorten these lists, but it will shorten the timo dur ing which they will appear. The end of the war depends upon how rapidly we can" send men and munitions to Europe. To attain the maximum of effort the government must have mon ey. There hw been no lack of funds up to this time and there must b3 none In the future. Dispatches from Minnesota -show that her people, by an overwhelming majority, have decided that the state shall remain in the Union. Prussian leaders undoubtedly know that militarism is doomed; that, the superior resources of the allies, re inforced by the oncoming flood of American soldiers, -will ere long de stroy tl eir power for good, writes Henry Clews In his Financial Review. They are' too intelligent really to be lieve that in their present condition of decline they can accomplish their worldwide ambitions. But out of sheer desperation they prefer the chances of ruin rather than confes3 defeat. They are taking the gam bler's chances and plunging with the utmqst recklessness, hoping to se cure all the advantages possible and do all, 'the' injury possible before the fateful peace parleys- begin. The greater their winnings now, the great er the chance they hope of using those winnings as an offset to the allied terms. Now is the time for every ore, no matter what his station in life may be, to make as great a sacrifice for his government and for humanity as is made by the most humble of our citi zens. Every one on or before Jun 28 should pledg himself to save to the utmost of his ability and to buy war savings stamps with his savings There should be an equality of sacri fice. Returns from the Minnesota pri maries Indicate that this is not a good yeur for the political aspirations of the American branch of the Bolshevik!. A KANSAS' IN NEW YORK. CHAPTER XXXVI. The Conclusion. We note that It Is the custom of au thors at the close of their volumes to publish complimentary notices from noted authors and well known people, who may or may not.be fellow au thors. This custom is one notably followed by E. W. Howe of the Atchison Globe and more lately of E. W. Howe's Monthly. Mr. Howe prints a few lines at the rear of his boolus. for instance, telling how much Mark Twain thought of one of the Howe works, "Ths Story of a Country Town.". He has another excerpt' from a complimentary letter written by Edward Bk, the b'g man of the Ladies' Home Journal. He has another paragraph from Andrew Lang or Henry Drummond and from vari ous otber and sundry writers and crit ics, all of which are,- of course, com plimentary and refer" to the book m the words of the author, tending to increase the circulation of that' par ticular volume and of others that ap pear from the same pen; also inform ing the reader what a great work he has been perusing. There is no particular reason why Mr. Howe should be singled out in re ferring to this custom for it seems to be a prevailing one on the part of au thors generally. Very often the author permits, possibly from modesty, the publisher or printer of the book to say these things, which the author himself might blush to directly quote. Having thus offered a line of de fense for himself, and other authors, it may not be without interest to the reader who has followed these chap ters and read some, most or all of them, to hear what some people have written or said about this work. "A Kansan in New York." now in Its final chapter herewith and appending those last sad words at the bottom; "The End:" so here are a few excerpts: Frank B. Noyes, editor of the Wash-' ingtoh Star and president of the Asso ciated Press, writes: "I have read with interest your address on the As sociated Press as welt -.as your other descriptions of your indiscretions in the east, which have been appearing from time to time In the State Jour nal." Charles Hopkins Clark, editor of the Hartford Courant: "I r.ote with inter est your chapter in connection with the membership of the Saturday Night club. I cannot find that Connecticut is represented. How" the club comes to be so unfortunately situated I can not see. Kindly let me know if there is not some way to raise the standard of the organization." M. Koenlgsberg. Newspaper Feature Service. New York City, writes: "The State-Journal with your chapter on your extremely interesting personal narrative about the Friars' club has been cut out and posted on the bul letin board of the Friars club here In New York and has given pleasure to a largo number of my fellow club men." C. B. "Merriam. director Bureau of Organization, Red Cross, Washington, D. C: "I have just received your pa per with the extremely interesting chapter giving an account of the Red Cross parade in New York. Mr. Greer, head of the department of develop ment, has Just read this article with great interest and thanks you for it." Georse S. Oliver, president Pitts- Durgn unronicie-Telegraph: "I am saving all of the clippings from the State Journal covering your chapters." Col. Theodore Roosevelt writes, un der date of June 13th: "Those were capital accounts of your visit to New York. I wish I could have seen you for a longer time." A. L. Kennedy, secretary to Dr. Ly man Abbott, The Outlook, New York City, says: "I have saved for Doctor Abbott the clippings from the State Journal covering the chapters vn the Win the War for Peace convention." Frances L. Garside. a well known writer of New York City, formerly of the Atchison Globe, writes of one of the chapters: "That story is a peach." Ralph Tennal. Sabetha Herald: 'In following your-lnterestlng series of letters or chapters, I noted last night your steel cases are no longer in use. What about selling them to me instead of sending them to cold storage? The series of letters must be a real feature In the State Journal. I find myself watching for them every day." H. V. Jones, editor of the Minneap olis Journal: "You are writing good-) Frederick P. Hall. Jamestown. New York, Journal: "I have Just read the chapter about the Associated Press as coverea in your address delivered at the meeting of your Saturday Night club;- I read all parts of It with inter est, including the introduction and pastoral by Walt Mason. You com bine newspaper making, banking and farrirrng .to good advantage. I am sure you need the first two to make the latter go to your complete satisfac tion, judging from my friends in the east."' George H. Lorimer. editor Saturday Evening Post: "I am very sorry I missed you when you were in Phila delphia. I wasn't playing golf. I have a ouu-acre larm Just outside ihe city limits and sflp away from the office whenever I can around four o'clock to watch tha alfalfa grow. Mine is a real, honest to goodness western farm. Alfalfa, corn, oats, wheat, timothy, clover, with a few spuds for the fam ily. I have about forty youns sows on the place and am preparing to help Hoover. I have set aside clippings covering your chapters, which I look forward to reading." John R. Rathom. Providence. R. I.. Journal and Evening Bulletin: "I have read with, great interest and sat isfaction your story of the Asscciated Press as covered In one of your chap ters. I am quite sure your readers must be delighted with your series of New York articles." Lafayette Young, president xDes Moines Capital: "I have rea.l your chapter on the Associated Press with the greatest of interest Roy F. Bailey, secretary and man ager the Saiina Journal, writes: "I have Just finished reading your story of the Associated Press and it has proven so interesting, and given me so much history that I did not know that I want to thank you fcr it. In forma tion of this nature is always to be had by digging it out, but most of us these days are too busy to do that, so the man who knows from experience is UnUBUally Interestina- Pnr tha ,..nn that I happened to be born and raisedu in Emporia, where I learned in soonl as i was big enough to carry papers that he town claimed you, and heard of you thru John Eskridge and the other 'I knew him when' boys, I have been interested in you and the State Journal. So much newspaper work is done with no indication from the reader as to whether It is liked or no', that I am breaking over this time and letting you know about it." Charles Hopkins Clark of the Hart ford Courant writes a second letter in which he says: "Some days 1 miss your paper in our daily pile. We take it regularly. I will risk it on another chapter" but send me, if you will your Associated Press and other New York experiences." Roscoe Peacock, circulation man- JV- f, XZVt oa "The Revision of Cook -Books" Is very interesting. I am referring it to the editorial department of the La dies' Home Journal." Of course, there has been a very large number of personal statements from readers who appeared to be pleased. Now that the tale is told, we trust they will- continue to real ,their favorite personal and family paper, even If the Kansan has finally re turned from New York, altho U took these XXXVI chapters to describe part of what happened on the trip.

"And I also observe that the strong manly arm on which she leans has a pretty close shut fist at the end of it, and that before she gets a penny she has to explain what she did with the last one and what she purposes to do with this. All of which causes me to have a beautiful time reflecting on my lucky lot in life, and I come home with my who'. point of view about my work changed. "It's hurrah! for the work that makes me financially independent. It's .ho! for the hotel room and bath that are my exclusive property. It's ha! for the aloneness that gives me an opportunity to loaf and invite my soul. "My sister takes her vacation by coming to see me every winter, and she has confessed that her vacation has exactly the same effect on her that mine has on me. She comes en vying me and she goes back pitying me. She comes thinking how delight ful it must b- not to have to bother about meals, or to have to ask her husband for money, or to be harassed by children's continual call for mo-o-other, and she goes away think ing that a woman who hasn't anybody to go back to, or any house or any babies, is the forlornest creature on earth. "8" our vacations do their perfect work and keep us ootn satisfied, which makes me wonder why we all haven't got enough sense to get away for a whfle from the thing that irri tates us when we find ourselves get ting disgruntled." "True." said the married woman, "the. real spluti.n of the divorce, ques tion is for husbands and wives to take vacations away from each-other. Most married people are really attached to each other, and they admire each othei's good qualities, but thev Quar rel because they have been together too long, because they have gotten to me pince wnere tney Dore each other, ana see nothing but each other's rauits.

"And John Henry's kiss to me when I went away was like the flap of a cold pancake on my cheek, but his welcoming kiss is the kiss of a lover, and he tells me that I certainly do look good to him and we have a regular- love feast, and I'm so glad to be back home again that I don't see that the paper is faded and there are spots on the carpet, and I have a real pic nic in an orgy of housecleaning." "Yes," agreed the business woman, "there are two things about a vaca tion that never fail, no matter what ha.nne.ns In hetween times the delieht of going, and the super-delight of getting home."

TOPEKA STATE) JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HASKTN. Director. Washington, D. C. THE COLLEGES-GO TO WAR. Washington, D. C, June 18. By the- new government method of train ing technical men at American uni versities, those institutions have been changed more in one year past than in any other quarter century of their existence. Military barracks and even tent camps have been erected on campuses; athletic fields have been turned into drill grounds; freshmenJ in gaudy caps and sophomores ex ploiting the latest things in college styles have been replaced by large bodies of bu'sy men in khaki. Above all, the traditional "college atmos phere" of care-free prankishness and- somewhat leisurely pursuit of ir relevant learning In the name of cul ture, has gone down before the grim spirit and severely practical require ments of war time. Hazing, class rushes, booze parties and all the other stunts that used to occupy the abun dant leisure of the undergraduate have gone the way of the more purely "cultural" studies which he neglected for them. The war first hit the colleges In the form of reatly reduced attendance. Secretary of War Baker made -a plea for "college as usual," but it was not heeded by the college man. Young, free of the trammels of marriage and business, and full of the spirit of ad venture, the undergraduates responded to the war call in larger measure than any other class. They did not wait to be drafted; they enlisted in bunches. Twenty-five per cent of them are in the service, and some in stitutions have lost as high as 40 per cent of their normal attendance. This was a serious blow to many of the colleges, for they depended upon tui tion and other student fees for about one-third of their incomes. Accord ingly a targe committee of educators came to Washington and suggested to to Secretary Baker that the colleges be used by the war department as training schools for the numerous technical men which were Reeded. The plan, elaborated by the federal board for vocational education, was adopted and the "militarization" of the American universities took place in a surprisingly short time. Already many of them are teaching .large bodies of men, under military disci pline, to be mechanics, engineers, photographers and technicians of a variety of other kinds. Columbia uni versity, the oldest and one of the greatest of American colleges, is an uimeu camp unaer 1Z5 officers. Four muusana orncers of the reserve, in squads of one hundred, are here be ing trained under military discipline. This university is also the govern ment's military school of photography and cinematography. Schools of navt- gation and aviation are to be added On the athletic field marines, blue Jackets and other recruits are to be seen drilling morning and evening, and even at night under the glare of 'great' searchlights. Yale's most notable contribution to the cause is its school in field artillery, The far-sighted governing board of this university organized a. field artili ery battalion of 250, students in 1915. and more than 600 studenU are now reaming-the difficult science of the artillerist at this-school. Yale- is also distinguished by the fact that she ha contributes to war work seventy mem-i bers of- her faculty, while six thou sand of rfer graduates are doing war work at home or abroad, two-thirds of them in the army, navy and marine corps. Only forty of them have lost their lives to date. This transformation of American colleges into war schools is being watched by educators and alumni with the greatest interest; for there is rea-T son to believe that the change will be to some extent permanent. It is only repeating a criticism made many times before to say that there has been something wrong with American uni versities. We have had some excel lent technical schools which turned out excelent technical men. And some of the western universities of reoent growth have been real products of the educational needs and demands of their communities. But our older uni-. versifies have been unduly hampered by tradition. The man who went to college for a so called "general edu cation" was offered very little that he could use. Dead languages were often required for graduation. Live lan guages were taught in a dead way. The United States consular service has found that men who have studied modern languages in American univer sities can seldom either speak' or write them.- There has been much criti cism, too, of the rigid class control of universities, which has made their teaching of history, economics, politics and sociology one-sided and often worthless. Quite recently faculty members have resigned and student bodies have rioted in protest against the dictatorships exercised by boards ol regents. To men who have been thru college and look back, the worst of the trouble seems to have been that their teach ings were irrelevant. A man who ex pected to go into the wholesale shoe business was taught to scan the odes of Horace. A would-be Journalist took up English as the thing most likely to be of use to him, and was required to spend long hours comparing the fourth and Bixth folio editions of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice," and summarizing the external and in ternal evidence as to whether or not that bard wrote his own works. Of course, practical schools of Jour nalism have been established, and the tendency has been toward making all the work more and more practical: but none the .less the courses in most of the -colleges leading to a bachelor's or master's degree have had a very slight and vague relation to the needs of most of the students. These courses did not hold the attention of the average st"detit because they did not appeal to his self-intere'-t. He in evitably sought other outlets for his energy; hence his innumerable so cieties and organizations, his fondness for hazing.mass fighting and organized athletic; his proneness to go on sprees and to tie the village cop to a lamp post.--'-When he left college he forgot all that; along with his knowledge of mediaeval history and the works of Chaucer. because he had something worth while to fio. That, unless he was a technical student, he never had at college. :But the American youth who is go ing to college today, dressed in kaaki. has something worth while to do. He is learning to manipulate the machin-' ery of modem science that he may use it in defending the existence of his country against a powerful and ad-, vancing enemy. No wonder that the old-time" rah-rah college atmosphere has wilted and blown away like, an orchid in the breath of a blast fur nace. That tradltlomu college atmosphere waa not an indigenous product, any way. With th! exception of a few in the west, all of -ur colleges were imi tations. Many of them sought tc cap ture the atmosphere and ape the methods of tho great English univer sities; others were Get man in method and viewpoint. But the work they are all doing now 13 American, being an application of American practical ef ficiency and directness to a great emergency. i American colleges wil. never get back to their old-time and outworn methods. They, like so many other American institutions, are being per manently made over by the war Names In the News.

Love My Dog, Love Me. BY LOUISE OLIVER. Laura swum about a bit in the water of the lake, then climbed into her canoe and pulled up shore a bit to her favorite haven',' where a little arm of water reaching1 around a breastwork of rocks, crossed a flat, sunny strip of beach. "In the canoe were-a gore of rein forcements, carnal and mental candy and a novel also a towel to dry her hair. Laura had lovely hair, of which she was Justly proud. There was only one thing lacking to complete her absolute contentment her dog. She colored wrathfully when she thought of him, for she had very substantial suspicions that only the lake separated her from her pet. Suddenly there was a sneeze almost directly over her head from the top of a rock. Laura looked up quickly and frowned. A man in swimming clothes was sitting there quietly watching her. "It's just as well," said Laura tart ly, "that nature takes a hand some times to announce new arrivals. "Pardon me, fair mermaid, but you are the newcomet. I was here first." There was nothing to say to this, and she decided to leave without fur ther parley, when it occurred to her that as she had been coming to this particular cove nearly every day for three months each summer for the last ten years, it was not for her to let a stranger rout her now "You're a soldier, aren't you she. asked. "I have the honor." "You belong to that machine gun battalion across the lake, don't you?" Yes." "Perhaps then you can tell me what became of my dog." Laura took a piece of chocolate and then looked hint steadily in the eye. as impressively as a decidedly oblique eight feet would permit. Authority .should never have to look up-. More over, when Laura looked up,. with her chin tilted back, and the sunlight dancing; in little spurts of flame on her' hair,, she looked more like a model. of hope than anything else. Whatever it was, the young man quite refused ,to be terrified, altho he al most forgot to answer, but for-a' dlf-': ferent reason. "Youf dog! What kind of dog?" "A Cairn. Not very big; white with brown spots, short hair." "A Cairn," he said thoughtfully. "Let me see. It would be pretty hard to tell, We have dogs and dogs and then some, you see. All camps have. It's a' sort of Mecca, seems to draw 'em like a magnet." "I don't suppose there are many like Laddie," she remarked. "Dad gave him to me for my birthday, and as I had my choice of him or an other row of pearls for my pearl col lar, you see what I've lost. Besides he was a splendid companion, such a good swimmer. Will you look when you go back and see if 'here is a dog of his description in camp?" "I certainly will. But how can I let you Jtoow if I find him?" "I come here every day," she an swered. "If you could bring him here." ."I might manage it." he said, slow ly. VBut what if I miss you?" Laura was thoughtful. She was about to say, "Then come to the house, won't you?" But she decided it would be difficult to entertain an unknown soldier shoulu he present himself there. Her mother would be sure to fuss, too. That was one thing about soldiers, they all lot ked alike, but dear knj-.rs who they were! "Oh, I think we'll manage to meet here," she said. "I always come at this time." "All right. Tomorrow then." he said. "I must go back now. Good bye," and diving into tha deep water on the other side of the rock, he was gone. The next day as usual, Laura pad dled into the cove. And there was her soldier with a dog. "Mercy! That's not my dog," she cried. "That looks more like an ant eater than a dog." "I hardly thought it was." h an swered, crestfallen- "But it was the only one I could catch. Perhaps I'll have better luck tomorrow." As usual, Laura had brought along some magazines and some candy. She offered hlrajsome of the sweets with an apology. "I don't approve of candy nowadays. But the boys insist on sending it to me from town. I've finally made them stop, but I have an accumulation of about fifty pounds. Some day, if I can get permission, I'm going over to -your camp and dis tribute the whole thing." "That will be splendid." he cried with enthusiasm. "Not the candy so much as the visit There's nothing cheers the boys up so much as a a," he was going to say pretty girl. "As a nice looking young woman." he fin ished. "But I must go now. You see, I haven't much time to call my own. I'll try and bring your dog tomorrow." But the next -"ay it was the same thing. No Laddie! Instead a fox ter rior. which barked Incessantly. "That's not my dog, either," said Laura. "Of course, he answers -the descriptions but stin a Cairn's a Cairn. You ought -to know one when you see it." "I must confess I don't." he an swered, "but I'll try again if you'll let me." Then the conversation turned to the war and his prospects of going across. Time flew fast. For six days the soldier came with dogs, a different one each day. and never the right one. "Mercy!" said Laura despairingly. "You -can't go on alt summer bringing dogs. I think I'll go to camp tomor row myself. Dad got permission from 4he major and I'll go in my car and take the "candy. I've some other things, too. I hope I'll see you there." For Laura had decided by this time, after a week of this young man, that it was all right to say she hoped she'd see him. She really hoped very much that she'd see him. and she had de termined to ask her father to speak to the major about him and have him over to dinner some night at Cairn Craig. Good as her word. Laura did go to camp next day with a cargo of candy and tobacco, and was immediately taken to headquarters. The orderly returned at once, say ing the major would see her. Laura entered dimaentiy, wonaer ing what she should say to the poten tate in command. She had never talked to so high an.offlcer before. But the man who rose from behind the big desk was her own soldier of the beach; at the same time a Cairn that had been sleeping under the desk, sprang forward with a yelp of delight. "So you're Major Denning?" said Laura rather stif fly, "and you've got Laddie, after all". "Yes," he admitted, smiling quietly. "I've had him all along "I can understand your wanting to keep him, but I don't see the idea of bringing a whole menagerie over to me day after day." "Suppose, my dear lady, I had taken Laddie over on my first, trip; I could have invented no excuse to see you so often. The past week has been Utopia to me." "Why couldn't you come to the house to see me? You are father's friend." "I dldn t want you to discover my Identity until you had learned to like me for myself. I had hoped you did. a little. But I'm afraid I've made a mistake. I should have returned your dog the day he swam over here, and that would have been the end of it all." Suddenly Laura came over and touched his arm. "No, don't be sorry. -No one could possibly be cross at you after after what you've said. And I'm glad I didn't know you were an officer but just you." He took her hand In both of his. "Laura, I've taken an awful fancy to Laddie; you can't have the heart to take him back without me now, can you?" She sighed and looked away In mock resignation. "It seems to be a case of 'Love my dog, love me,' doesn't it? I suppose I'll have to take you both." Then he gathered her up close In his arms and settled It all with a kiss.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a boy of 18 and I have been going with a girl in town a few times whom I thought a great deal of. Lately I have asked her to go places with me and she would always have some ex cuse. Do you think I should ask her again, or do you think she is tired of me? R. F. Go with another girl for a while. If the girl you like were very fond of you she would find ways to see you and would not turn down all of your invitations. Perhaps after a month or two she will be glad to go with you again if she thinks you have other girls. Probably you have made the mistake of letting her know that you like her too well. HOUSEHOLD HINTS The Table. New England Cornmeal Pudding Take about four quarts of skim milk (use the cream for the dressing by putting In sugar and nutmeg). Take about one quart of the milk, put in a bottle, add a teaspoon salt, then stir constantly until nearly boiling. Now stir in the cornmeal about like much and cook about half an hour, stirrins constantly, else it will scorch. Then take the other three quarts milk and thin the mush. Beat together one egg, one handful white flour, one cup sugar, one cup cooking molasses, one large tablespoon ginger and stir all together. Bake about two hours and as it crusts over stir it about four times: do not stir in the last crust. It wants to bake long enough to be boiling all thru when removed from oven. Eat with the cream sauce prepared as above. Half of the Ingredients can be used. In that case use the whole egg. Don't get -the batter too thick or it won't be good. DINNER STORIES One of Mr. Kipling's trees was in jured by a bus. the drtver of which was also landlord of an inn. Kipling wrote this man a letter of complaint, which the recipient sold to one of his guests for ten shillings. Again the angry author wrote, this time a more violent letter, which immediately fetched one pound. A few days later Kipling called on the landlord and demanded to know why he had received tio answer to his letters. "Why, I was hoping you would send me a fresh one every day," was the cool reply. "They pay a great deal better than bus driving." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS For June 23 Is "Jesus Triumphant Over Death." Mark 16:1-2 0 -Flowcrs In the Trenches, flvpr in France there is a battered trench that has a permanent place in my memory. It is possibly a mile long. it seems much longer, because or tne rough fragments of slippery limestone tnat cover its bottom, and Decause n. winds over a hill. Possibly, also, the fact that it was under bombardment every time 1 traversed it may have heightened the impression or us lenath. Not primarily, tho. because of its heaps of shell debris, or of its battered edges, or of the roar or Bom bardment, will I remember this par ticular trench. Partly because it led to the scene of a brilliant victory by our troops, and partly because ol tne flowers which bloomed luxuriantly on its edges, this trench stands out from all others that I have known. I named it in my mind tha Trench of the Promise of Peace. It is a sym bol of life after death, of victory amid battle. Clustering thickly upon the edees of this battlefield highway grew the sumptuous." fragrant violets of France, in gorgeous patches. Besides them blossomed the delicate hepaticas and clump of anemones. Never have wild flowers seemed more beautiful or significant. They reckoned not of the reign of death and destruction that fell ull about them. Huge shells might blast the sides of the trench, but be flowers heeded them not at alL Fmm thi woodland there also crept softly down over the scarred sides of this stony trench the lovely green leaves of the ground ivy- Nature was setting ner seal oi as surance and of permanent reality uDon the scene of conflict. After war s woe has ended, the scars will be cov ered by the kindly processes of spring time. The upspringing nie oi me earth will win the victory over all the signs of man's strife. Enduring beyond the worst that the heavy artillery can do is the beauty of the wild flower, God's pledge of- peace and resurrec tion. After death comes life. The flower Is more potent than the big gun shell. The trench is not the end, but only an episode. Flowers From the Battlefield. As that one particular spot In the extended battlefront is typical of a great and beneficent principle, so the war itself has come to represent, in the minds of most of us, a construc tive, rather than a destructive force. w see that tha conflict is not an end. It is a process, a way out. Ter rible as are many of its aspects, it nev ertheless stands for a great deliver ance from an old and intolerable or der. Only because we regard it as the nursing fire of a just and beneficent and far-reaching God, to whom the right is more precious than peace, can we be reconciled to this overwhelm ing tragedy. Beyond the portals of this death lies a spiritual and national resurrection for the peoples of the earth. Humanity is now undergoing a exeat and terrible Becoming. Thia is the faith that sustains the world and nuts an adequate motive Into all our enduring and sacrificing and suf fering. It is the' flower of the resur rectlon truth blooming amid tha war- blasted trenches. t. An observer returns from the bat tlefields, filled with the glory of the new life that is coming to our Miwn "over there," and he finds something of the same experience befalling here also. Life is being lifted up to a new level. Cowardice and craven selfish ness and petty indulgence are out of fashion. Helpfulness and cheerfulness and sympathy and brave sen-denial have become the vogue. Large con siderations of patriotism and of world interest have caught up countless lives that once seemed small, and enobled them into newness. Both at home and among the troops, hearts have become tender and more com radely. Fellowship and brotherhood have been won to a degree surpass ing the dreams of the sociologist of t decade ago. We have seen the sancti fying power of a great experience, a great purpose and a great hope. Human hearts have become plastic. and so, consequently, has the world's existing order of things. Is not an this a foregleam of the power of the resurrection principle in me Making Death Glorious. In Britain and France I was over whelmed to find that practically ev erybody has suffered a personal be reavement in the war.' Countless fam ily lines have been cut off. Entire shop windows would hold only mourn ing wear. One great motive operat ing against a premature or craven peace is unwillingness to let the brave dead have died in vain. These myriads of the fallen are a new fact In all uf our thinking. They are with us as a force to inspire and to restrain. The flower of our lire is Diooming. some where beyond the grave. Without controversy or discussion or theological debate, this war has brought an immeasurable re-enforcement to the truth of the resurrection In the presence of unparalleled sor row, we have simply waived aside speculations and negations and agnos ticism concerning the future life. It seems as if the world has quietly as sented to the conviction which resides as a great hope in every normal breast, and which is so clear a teach ing of Scripture that it must be ac cepted unless all revealed religion be rejected that our dead shall live again. The risen Christ shines above 'he horizon of our minds in new majesty. Soldiers on the battlefield are confi dent that death does not end all. Is It too much to assert that this war has revealed a new glory in aeain, as well as a new shame in mere self preservation. That our noblest achievement of existence may be a rieroie death is almost an "axiom to day. Our former dread of death ass passed away. Soldiers are not afraid to die: that Is one of war's most in teresting phenomena. I found the feeling general among men in action, up where the missiles of death made Incessant music, that they gave no thought to death. Once I walked a heavily bombarded road with a lad who talked of other thins entirely than the shells falling about us. We are becoming interested In more important things than the mere prolongation of life such as honor and righteousness and human serv ice. AH mr old conceptions of the aim and end of existence are belne revised. .Our gosl ere now more godlike:' and we thlnjc beyond the grove. Breakinsr An Old Enemy'a Power. Among tha soldiers it seems as If. almost unconsciously, a sense of the supremacy of riphteoosness and lib erty and Justice has effaced ell petty considerations of personal safety; They loos upon wie wii a vj,-i a iaoa. "i i them: snd as part of His own big' look upon the war as Goif s task for business In the universe. He has gone fnwfc rA make traizht forever om things that were crooked in thia earth. In the breaking or tne power m rogance and might end selfishness ana injustice. -he necessarily pays a price, in the Uvea of those who serve Him. But He recompenses tliem, now and eternally. The battlefield creed may be called that of the "larger hope." The soldier may march tumbringly, but he la going the way of -the cross: and he .s sure of the resurrection morning. His faith is pinned upoa the very nature of God; as he has learned it in the character of Jesus. In Britain I sought out the extent of the gnwth of the various phanta sies, such as spiritualism and theoso phy and other forms of occultism which has been reported as wide spread. 1 found them negligible. Bri tain's new sense of the life of her dead is not based on spookish seances or diluted and scented Hinduism. While she has lost much f her Churchianity. Great Britain holda anew the truth of a living and risen Christ, and of an eternal life with. Him. There is sorrow everywhere, and bravely born oh! so brawely!--but there is also the conviction that the dear dead have offered up their lives after the very fashion of tha Re deemer f mankind; and that they live anew and forever. The departed are present as a sanctifying influence that is helping to make the world over into a condition worthier of them. The War In Old Jerusalem, How inseparable the new rrllrinn thinking of our time is bound up with the facts of the life of Jesus is shown by the remarkable public interest in the capture of Jerusalem by the Briti ish. There vas enacted the tragedy of all time. Christendom lnnk with reverence upon the city of the Holy Sepulchre. The popular imagination has looked upon General Allenbv's victory as a new crusade rescuing the holy places of our faith from infidel control. While the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord are great spiritual facts, having a significance) dissociated from time and place, yet the actual scene of the events is sacred soil to all the world. Resurrection is synonymous with victory. It stands for the triumph of truth and of God. That Is why the resurrection note sounds In so much of our war literature as instance this poem of our war said to have been found on the body of a fallen Austral ian soldier: Ye that have faith to look with fearleM eyes.

Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People' Societies Christian En deavor, Etc. For June 23 Is: "How to Have a Good Time." 1 Thess. 6:16-24. Why should there be need to repeat the aged-old assurance that religion la not a melancholy thing but that in its naturalness, buoyant Joyousness. hopefulness, and peace it is the life worth living? Yet there are many who consider sanctimoniousness, synonymous with saintllnene. and prlg glshness a part of piety. Away' with such a notion! Christ came to bring life full. rich, robust life, and the re llgion of gloom Insults Him and denies His mission. Every recreation that is not dissipa tion is Christian. The religion that envies the world its pleasures, is not the glad religion taught by Christ. Pleasures are either recreation or dissipation. The former bui'.d up, strengthen, satisfy, but the latter waste time or health or money or energy or virtue or spirituality. To all pleas ures that are recreation Christ would give His approval. Pleasures and religion are not two things but one. Pleasure is often re ligion. To engage in recreation is as much a Christian duty as to go to prayer meeting. There Is this danger, however, that recreation will be given disproportionate attention, or that it will be made a thing secular and apart from religion. Happy times do not happen. They are the result of definite causes. Once we put into operation certain causes such as unselfishness, lorbearance, courtesy, and love we make inevit abVe the natural result, a happy time. Give us the man who sings at his work. Be his occupation what It may, he is superior to any of thoi-e who fal low the same pursuit in silent sullen ness. A popular Jingle exhorted, "keen on the sunny side of life." There one sort of person who habitually chooses the shady side of the street, preferring gloom, depression and worry. Fretfulness and anxiety ars second nature to some men and wom en. When they haven't real trouble at hand, they Imagine them. All the.r days are attuned to a minor key. To say that this state of mind is un.ti is merely to express a truism. No lot is so blessed that thinking cannot make it seem evil. Happiness is el ways subjective. The sensible person is the one who walks on the sunny side of life, thereby 'expressing his faith In the world and In God Who made it. No troubles can abide tha presence of a dauntless.' optimlstio spirit. The person whs isytver cl the lookout for silver Hnlngs wrU flnd that clouds are chiefly silver.. The whole-heartedness of our pleas ures should bear testimony to our re ligion. There is something lacking in the Christianity of the perpon who cannot heartily enjoy himself. Pleasure la not an end but a n in cl ent of life. It Is meant to hearten us and Invigorate us as we travel ths path of duty. We misconceive of life's essentials when we ut pleasure fleot. When pleasure becomes the pbject'ef a life, the life Itself is dwarfed Into such smallneas that it -caanot en toy true pleasure. Even our recreations should reflect credit imon Christ. If our pleasure Is unselfleh. spontaneous and genuine it will surely glorify God. Indeed. If our faith is not manifested In our recrea tion, it Is not very deep in our life. John T Ro-lt-feIler.

One hundred and fifteen Kansas men have been approved by the per sonnel committee of the Kansas war work council of the Y. M. C. A. of Kansas. Of the eighty-six listed for overseas service, a majority already are in active service "over there.' Twenty-nine have been approved for home camp service, and those of this class are put into service, as a rule, soon after being duly approved. The T. M. C. A. campaign for re cruits in Kansas is but a cog in the na tional machine for the enlistment of 4,000 men for overseas, 2,000 for home camps, by September 1. Kansas' quota is forty of the former a month, and twenty of the latter. The state succeeded in filling its quota in May. A number of interesting responses have been made to the association's call for men. Many of these volun teers all as a rule over draft age include some of the leading business men of their respective communities Several have given up lucrative occu pations one a $20,000 a year busi nessin order to do his part to help in the war. Wichita recently has contributed three men to the T. M. C. A. service in the persons of M. W. Woods, director of the welfare department and the municipal farm of the city of Wichita; R. H. Kirkpatrick, a salesman, and Roscoe Ray. The list includes L. B. Young, of Hutchinson, who is paying all his own expenses, including trans portation to France; Also, Charles A. Greenlee, of Hutchinson, sales mana ger of a milling concern, and E. M. Smart, vice president of a bank at Stafford. When given the physical examination it was found that Mr. Smart should undergo an operation to make him physically fit. He came to Topeka, entered a hospital, underwent the operation all at his own expense. and is now awaiting the call. Variety In Bequests. There Is quite a variety in the kinds of men desired by the Y. M. C. A. While it feels lucky to find men with the cherished qualifications to leaders for Its war work secretaries, its most ardent need at present, according to A. K. Elliott, department secretary of the state executive committee of the Y. M. C. A., is auto drivers and- me chanicians and physical directors. Under recent arrangements with Gen eral Pershing, the government has turned over to the Y. M. C. A. of ficially, the management of the army canteens. In managing this now ex tensive department in France, trans portation enters as an all-important problem. The greater part of this is done with motor trucks.

Law Says Those With Permits Can't :Work Nights. Boys In Topeka who are under 16 years old will be compelled to get a working permit from the school board before they can continue with the jobs they have or get new jobs, it was an nounced today by Paul McBride, state labor commissioner. "This law Is on our statute books and must be enforced," he said. "Dur ing a recent investigation we were sur prised to find how little people know about this law. a t is not our intention to throw the boys out of work or im pose a hardship on the merchants who employ them. All ther will have to do if they wish to continue work is to get a permit from their school board." Druggists Arc Disturbed. Topeka druggists, v especially, are much concerned over this new step, as men are extremely scarce owing to War conditions, and scores of boys 16 years old and under are employed at the soda fountains. Futhermore, they declare that the boys are working short hours and receiving good pay and that they axe far better off at work than they would be if allowed to run in the streets with nothing to do. The child labor law in Kansas re quires that boys under 16 years old shall not begin work before 7 o'clock in the morning nor work later than 6 o'clock at night. They must not work over eight hours a day nor more than 48 hours a week. Law Passed In 1917. The law was passed during the leg islative session in 1917. but McBride would give no reason why this partic ular time had- been chosen to enforce it. Topeka merchants contend that the employment of boys during these times of labor shortage is entirely in accordance with the labor conserva tion program endorsed by the govern ment. Boys who live within the city limits may obtain permits from M. C. Hol man, at the board of education office in the Topeka high school building. Boys living in the county may get per mits from Miss M'Edna Corbet, county superintendent. SEEK WILSON'S APPROVAL Kansas Seed Wheat Delegation Before President Today.. rtrt HP ce lea lime We offer the famous Liggett's Opeko Tea. Special for Saturday Hlb.50c-2for51c Stock Up For the Summer. TuIlif-IfcFarJana The ltcxall Store 833 Kansas Ave. Washington, June 21. President Wilson's endorsement of a plan to supply seed wheat to farmers of west ern Kansas and parts of Oklahoma and Nebraska for fall sowing was sought today by the Kansas delega tion In congress. They asked that in dividual farmers be advanced as much as $450 for the purchase of seed or supplied directly thru the department of agriculture. In either case the government-would hold a lien on the wheat until the loan was paid. The delegation representing the state board of agriculture and state council of defense, is seeking relief for Kansas wheat growers thru con gressional action. They left Kansas to enlist the support of President Wilson and Herbert Hoover, food administra tor. If federal aid is not provided, a special session of the state legislature hasxbeen urged. BURGLARIZED CHURCH Silverware Valued jit 200 Taken by Unknown Persons. The First Presbyterian church, on Harrison street near Eighth street, was burglarized Thursday night for the second time since the janitor, a few week ago, lost the keys to the building. Silverware, in cluding 200 pairs of knives and forks and several dozen spoons, all valued at about $200, were taken. At the time of the first burglary about a month ago nothing of value was taken, according to the police. The police think that the robberies were engineered by some one who found the lost keys and is familiar with the outlay of the church. The stolen silverware was in two grips se creted in a small closet in one corner of the big structure. DISCOUNT STORIES Government Officials Warn Against Propaganda. Believe Much of Resolution Talk Manufactured. Washington Juna 21. Government authorities cautioned today against overoptimlam as a result of reports of Austrian strikes, peace demonstrations and food riots. Tho the state depart ment and other agencies had reports showing unsatisfactory food conditions and a considerable'unrest, it is pointed out these reports have preceded every Teuton offensive thus far. Austrians Dissatisfied. The holding of the Austrian drive against Italy has had a strong reac tion within Austria, according to in formation here. The Austrians are dissatisfied with the slow progress, and it is said nothing short of a suc cess there will prevent serious in ternal troubles. The attitude of officials is based on these things: Past experience shows the Teutons manufacture "revolution" stories to make their opponsnts believe extra ordinary effort is unnecessary and that the end of the war Is near. Austria Bound, to Germany. Austria is bound to Germany by debts and a new alliance so strongly that she cannot escape now short of the wildest upheaval imaginable and Germany la now send!: her more food. Announcement soon as to American participation against Austria on the Italian front, however. Is expected to further disturb the Austrians. SOLD "HARD" CIDER Restaurant Keeper Here Arrested for Bone Dry Violations. Frank Dmbaakl, who runs a lunch counter at 207 Kansas avenue, was arrested this morning by the police following the discovery that Dmbaski was selling cider that appeared to be "harder" than permitted by the Kan sas prohibition statutes. The police say Dmbaskl's cider was of the "barbed lighting" variety. He is being held while a sample of his wares are being analyzed at Kansas university.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING.-JUNE 21. 1918 TRAP AUSTRIAN Surrender of Large Numbers Expected. Bridge Destroyed hj Artillery or Flood. Washington, June 21. A large part of the Austrian army has been cor nered between the flooded Piave and the advancing Italian troops In the Montello, the British war office re ports today stateM. The Italians have established their former lines at virtually all points from the Montello to the sea and are making- gains in the mountains above the Montello. Bridge Destroyed. Destruction of the bridge, either by artillery or the floods, has blocked all chance of the Austrians to extricate themselves. It Is believed here and sur render of large numbers la expected momentarily. The Italians reported the re-capture of a large number of guns abandoned early in the drive. MAY COVER THRESHING COST Higher Price for 'Wheat May Include More Than Freight Raise. Washington, June 21. Increase in the price of wheat to meet higher freight rates and increased produo lion costs is under consideration by Ihe food administration, it was learned fflcialW today. Farmers Face Loss. This Is the first time deviation from the fixed X2.20 wheat orice Iras re ceived serious attention from Food Administrator Hoover. It follows pro tests from farmers who face losses -of one to four cents a bushel on wheat because of the proposed 25 per cent increase in freight rates which will affect' the entire wheat belt. In creases, If granted, will be reflected in a SO to SO-cent price increase per bar rel in flour to the general puDiic. Farmers Expected $2.50 Price. Hoover has long hoped that higher wheat prices would be unnecessary. Farmers nlanted record acreages on the $2.5(k wheat price amendment pending in congress, but not passed. Will N'ot Chance Basic Price. The basic $2.20 price will not be changed even now. it is officially indi cated. But farmers, held to a fixed price, will be protected against freight rate increases whicn tney wouia ouier wise have to bear. Allowance for Threshing Coals.

It Is impossible to glean from reports now available whether the movement tnere is counter-revolutionary, but it Is mos likely that the Social Revolutionaries of the Right are dominating it. Combine Against Germans. M. Schuiansky, president of the Si berian Soviets, recently wrote to Pre mier Lenine, indicating that all groups in Siberia,1 including part of the Bol-' sheviki, were likely to combine to fight. German penetration. H de clared that possible inroads in Siberia would necessitate abrogation of the Brest-Litovsk peace pact. Concluding, he said: Would Join Americans. "Siberia will be forced to accept this viewpoint, in defense of its interests, arid will enter an agreement With the Americans, which would lead to ex pected consequences; namely, loans and trade treaties." This letter never has been made public. Bolshevism Going to Pieces. Lenine and his Moscow crowd are Buys the Beautiful Watch or Diamond You've Always WantecJ r I Til vJf likely to resort to a final desperate move to save themselves calling in the Germans against the democratic and pro-ally factions. They would term this a part of the necessary policy of compromise while awaiting a "world revolution." Thus the dissolution of Bolshevism is proceeding rapidly. S. MHAWKES IN RACE

The food administration issued rules today for bidding store keepers to buy spoiled eggs. It has been reported that in many localities where eggs are brought to town and sold in exchange for groceries f hat dealers do not -reject bad eggs because they do not wish to offend otherwise good custo mers. The new rule says: "Dealers must pay only for good eggs." The rules are made in an effort to prevent loss of food. Last year every fourth egg in Kansas spoiled before it reached the markets during tlKe sum mer. Following are some of the Import ant features of the new egg conserva tion rules: All eggs must be candled when bought from the producer and un wholesome eggs must be rejected, giv ing the producer opportunity to ex amine the "rejects." The buyer must snip promptly. While awaiting shipment eggs must be stored in a temperature of less than 40 degrees.. If such a cool room Is not available eggs must be tested again after seven days. If the temperature Is more than 60 degrees, eggs must be recandled after forty-eight hours. Eggs which are good enough to eat. but which cannot stand transporta tion must be sold In the community where bought. Rejects shall not be sold for hu man consumption. Every buyer of eggs who resells to any one otl.er than the consumer must have a license. This rule appltes to country dealers, hucksters and oth ers, no matter how small the business. Marketing of eggs unfit for human consumption subjects the seller to prosecution under the laws of Kansas as well as under rules of the United States food administration.

New York City.) The Chinese Tunic Has Much to An swer For In the Way of Odd and Eccentric Garments That Women Have Adopted for the Separate Skirt. New York. China contributes more than its usual quota of Inspiration to wartime fashions. It seems odd. on the face of things, that Paris and America should go to one of its allies tucked off in the most unbelligerent corner of the universe for a style that Is exploited during the Great War. There is so much on the western front from which to draw inspiration. There is -such a wealth of material in Rumania, Mesopotamia, Bagdad and even Siberia, that one is constantly confronted by the question as to why China. Japan, for well known military rea sons, is a more vigorous ally than the Celestial Empire, and yet, by common consent, we dip down Into Manchurian history. Into the coolie fashions of Hong Kong, of the boatmen who fill the port of Shanghai, of the blue bloused rice planters and of the run ners of the Taloo river. We imitate their crepe when we can't Import It; we copy the designs from the vases of the Ming Dynasty; we use bits of their ribbon and brocade' as accessories to sombre gowns'; we have brought their kimonos into being for evening coats; and we have taken up their slippers to go with Chinese tea gowns of jade chiffon embroidered in dragons. Shops Sending Commercial "Couriers to the Far East. It is difficult to go to Europe these days as a commercial buyer, by reason of restricted transports, lack of cargo space and the most Christian desire of France not to feed those who can be fed at home. But the American shops must import, and, therefore, for the first time in history, they are sending (alcerbg FOR COOGHS AND COLDS A handr calcium compound that safe guards against chronic lung- and throat troubles, A tonic-restorative prepared without harmful or habit-tormina; drusa.

It is ridiculous that China and Japan should ever think of wearing our clothes, so ugly as compared with the beauty oftheirs, but they are only hu man, anti human nature constantly stretches out for something new and strange. Chinese blouse made from one width of white chiffon banded with blue chiffon. The girdle runs through slashes in the front and back. It takes exceedingly well trained buyers to go to the East and come back richly laden with salable prod' ucts. Wouldn't It be -well for some of the shops to give to the army women whose husbands are in France and whose knowledge of China is val uable, the opportunity to be buyers for tnem 7 There are army women who are willing to work and who could go into the furthermost and oddest quar ters of Chinese cities to buy things that the ordinary commercial buyer could never reach because he knows nothing about them. The Straight Chinese Blouse Over Separate Skirt. Take the sketch as an example of what the designers are drawing from China. Here Is a blouse made of one piece of white chiffon banded with blue chiffon. There are two long slashes at eacn mart or tne zronf and back, thru which is slipped a Chinese blue silk girdle. It may be tied In a bow at the back, Japanese fasnion, or it may be pulled thru the buttonholes, loosely, and knotted Vt the side. If you don't care for holding in the blouse at the back, omit the button holes and let it drop as a panel. This square of chiffon which goes over the shoulder without fastening, is dropped over a low-necked blouse of white lace which has short sleeves. THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by ANNJS BITTENHOUSE WOl We Be Gallacized? Just at present France is under going. In a measure, an Americanizing process. Used as French men and French women have always been "to the American tourist, they have never had so great a chance to become ac quainted with the American type of manhood and American ideals as since our men went to live among them. For one thing they have learned that the American is a bath-loving animal and a fresh-air loving animal. In one small town in northern France the great demand of the American element was that the one bath In the place be opened every night in the week Instead of only Saturday night. The few private bathtubs had to- be put Into commission whether or not all expert plumbers were at the front. The American went about it good natoredly. insisting that he had to be bathed. This proved very Interesting to the Frenchman, who has always had less exacting demands in this matter. Then. too., the American of ficers billeted In French household showed a surprising demand for fresh air and actually caused the good French folk to fear that they and all their households would be poisoned because they opened their windows at night to permit the night air In the house. In the meantime our men ere learn ing Jnst as much from the French as the French are learnlrg from xis. If all the letters fromul! the men In serv ice over there could be collected we would see that our men have'not been j dull to feel the effect of French jrivil- izatlon. Especisllv have they beer Impressed on every hand by the Frenchman's demand for- the beauti ful. The young American farmer has been observing and he has written to I the folks at home telling them about' It the. faculty of the French farmer I to make a park out of his garden, patch,, to produce a beautiful as welf as an efficient arrangement- of his-j crops, his. buildings, and even hie farm implements. The soldier who keeps some sort of store over here nan been, filling his head with ideas about the way the -Frenchman keeps tha same sort of store. He is being impressed by the Frenchman's wonderful eye for harmony and fitness, and he is going to bring valuable ideas back to this' country for his own problem in store keeping. The letters show that impressions of this sort are -being formed, and the interesting thing is that they are not all coming from Paris or any of the usual channels -for French influence. This Influx of French ideas will there fore be rather different from anything we have ever had before, and there is no doubt of the fact that after the war the word French and such ad jectives as Frenohy will have a differ ent significance than ther have had in decades past. LARGE WAR PROFITS Plenty From Which to Draw Large Revenue by Tax. Washington, June 21. Excess profits, have risen rapidly since this country entered ,the war despite price fixing and other restrictive measures. according to treasury department data now in tne oanas or the house ways and means committee. These data, which covered profits of every line of business In addition to profits of many individual concerns, is to be used by the comnilttee in fram ing the new revenue bill, which wiU be aimed to raise $8,000,000,000. The figures discount absolutely the plea from big financial centers, that the government price fixing policies had cut profits to such an extent that the committee would.be hampered in levying .taxes, committee members de- oiarecu today. j Some coal firms, f o instance, show a profit as- high as 2,060 per cent, al tho coal was one. of the first com moditles on which prices were set. BUILD UP POSITIONS French Take Points and a Few Pris oners in Night Itaid. Paris, June '21. French troops last night 'carried out operations on the front southwest of 'Soissons, which re sulted in the improvement of their po sitions In the neighborhood of Favei olles. A similar improvement was ef fected further south on this point near Hautvesnes. The war office made these announcements today. The statement reads: The French have improved their positions north of Faverolles and in the region south of Hautvesnes. A score of prisoners remained in the hands of the French. The night was calm on the rest of the front. When a lady !s welcoming guests in her home she should greet the strang ers with the same cordiality that she shows to the old friend.

Armln Fassler, 69 yea's old, wealthy Topeka miller, was arrested Wednesday night in Rosedale on the charge of violating the Kansas bone dry law. Six cases of beer and a quantity of whisky found In his motor car were seized by Hoy R Hubbard, assistant attorney general on the Kansas side, .and two assistants. After spending a short time in the Wyandotte county jail he obtained an attorney, thru friends,- and was re leased onrVond. Destroy Car? Hubbard' also seized the Topeka miller's $4,000 Marmon motor car. In the district court Saturday the assist ant attorney general will recommend the handsome touring car b? de stroyed, as the Kansas law permits when proved to be-used in transport' ing liquor. Following his arrest Fassler told the Kansas side authorities he was taking the beer to Topeka to use for medici nal purposes, as it had been prescribed by his physician. The officers said the whisky apparently belonged to J. H. Washburn of Topeka, who was with Fassler, and who was, taken into cus tody also. On Lookout for Him. Fassler drove to Kansas City from Topeka to attend the Ti-ansmissfssippi Golf tournament at the Hillcrest club. He was returning home, going thru tne streets or Koseaaie, when over taken by a motor car containing Hub bard and his assistants. Hubbard ap parently had been on the lookout for t'assier's car, but the assistant attor ney general did not say toriav whether he received a tip of what the Topeka miller had in his car.

His departure means another star in the Kansas City service Cag for the many newspaper men who have left this city in the last year to take up their calling. The loss of "Clug" Is a real blow to the State Journal local room. For four years he has been on the staff of this newspaper and in that period has earned a reputation lor himself all over the west. His sporting de- jiaimBUBi'nwwBnntiianmKn namniaiiamn "Clug." partment has been most popular with newspapers in this part of the west and with the many readers of the State Journal who have looked upon "Clug" as an authority. "Clug" is a Kentuckian, educated at the University of Kentucky and re taining, in a mild Kansas-melting-pot way, the inherent hatred for "r's." He has owned and edited weekly papers in Missouri and Arkansas and came to the State Journal with the proyer training for a most successful news paper career. In the last year, due to the lack of interest in sports generally over the country, "Clug" has been acting as sistant managing editor of the State Journal and has been a most able and talented aid to the work in the re porters' room.

Dozens of towns between Omaha and Tulsa are clamoring for the priv ilege of being on the proposed Capital highway, which is to be built from Omaha, south thru Topeka to Okla homa. When Herbert S. Putney of Topeka. president of the highway; J. Frank Smith ef Topeka, and F. w. Hockadav, of Wichita, left Topeka, to select the route for the great highway, they were met at Iola by fifteen auto mobiles loaded and carrying banners, who escorted them to Waverly and held a lively meeting in the park at LeRoy, where a big map was dis played, showing that LeRoy was on the logical route for the highway. The investigators found that many road improvements had been made in that section of the country, especially thru Wilson and Montgomery coun ties, where plenty of good gravel abounds and where roads are rapidly being constructed, at an average ex pense of $2,400 a mile. Burlington, Yates Center, Rose, Buffalo and Fre donia are clamoring for the road on one hand, while LeRoy, Iola, Hum bolt. Chanuto and Cherryville demand recognition on the other.
