It is the Seventy seventh raised in N'ew York, trained at Camp Upton, and originally com manded by Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. It was taken across under Major Qen eral Johnson. Kansas Troops Complete Training. Five American divisions which had been brigaded with the British for training have been returned to Gen eral Pershing's command with train ing completed. One of these is the Thirty-fifth division, composed of Kansas and Missouri troops and com manded by Maj. Gen. William M. Wright when it left the United States. Italians Took Only 18,000. General March disclosed that the official reports from the Italian front place the number of Austrians cap tured at 18.000 and a large amount of war material. The line of the Plave has been en tirely restored by the Italians and in some places has been slightly ad vanced. Anstrlan Attack Too Wide. Military opinion.

Spent Nearly Thirteen Billions. In Government financial history the year -v ill go down as a period of ex pense hardly dreamed of a decade ago. More than $12,600,000,000 is the ac tual outlay since July 1, 1917, to meet the multitude of big bills run up for the army and navy, the shipbuilding program, airplane construction, coast defense reaui.-dments. other eovern- ment activities and the needs of the al'les for American loans to finance purchases of war materials in this country. In peace times, the govern ment spent less than $1,000,000,000 annually. Cost ;o Date About Fourteen Billion. WUh the addition of the $1,200,000, 000 which the government spent in three months of war preceding this fiscal year, the war's cost in money to date has been $13,800,000,000. War activity now is draining about $50,000,000 a dav from the nation's public treasury, and in June the run ning expenses were greater than ever before tho loans to allies dropped to less than in any month since April, 1917, when the United States became a belligerent. One and Half Billions In June. Including estimates for the last two days of the rnontl. not yet record ed expenditures for June were about $1,500,000,000, or approximately the same as the record figure of May. Ordinary war expenses for the month amount to. about $1,258,000, 000, a new high record,. and payments to allies .ere approximately $236, 000,000, less than half the $500,000,000 which the treasury nsually has flg ur as necessary to fincnee the allied purchases in the United States every month. Use of ships to transport troops to France, instead of for war materials is considered responsible primarily, for the reduction of allied loans. Receipts for Month $3,250,000,000. Owing to the big Inflow of income and excess profits taxes the receipts for June have eclipsed all former rec ords. From taxation and other minor sources of revenue, receipts are ex pected to amount to more than $2,- 250,000,000. Payments on liberty ponas ana ceruncaies oi inaeDieaness I.. ea nearly i.u.ui".oo: With figures for yesterday and to-1 day not yet tabulated, expenses for the i entire fiscal year were reported as I follows: Ordinary expenses for vari ous government departments, $i,567, 000,000; payment to allies, $4,708,000, 000; interest on liberty bonds and other public debt items, $175,000,000: federal farm loans (to be repaid). $65,000,000; Panama canal, $19,000, 000. In addition $6,747,000 certificates issued earlier ln the year were re deemed; $27,362,000 one-year treas ury notes were paid and $21,536,000 national bank and federal reserve bank notes were retired. Receipts for the year without rec ords of the last two days were re ported as follows: Loans Bring Seven and a Half Billions. Liberty loans, $7,563,000,000; in come and excess profits taxes, $2,115, 000,000 (with probably $500,000,000 or more yet to come in): miscellane ous internal revenue sources $863, 000.000: war savings and thrift stamps, $296,000,000; customs (tariff revenue) $178,000,000; miscellaneous revenue, $287,000,000; Panama canal tolls $5, 846.000. The government also took in $8,468,000,000 from sale of certifi cates of indebtedness redeemed later in the year; $1,020,000 from postal saving; bonds; $19,160,000 deposited ior uurcnase oi one year irasury j notes unaer tne leaerai reserve act. and 10,240,000 'leposited for retire ment cf national lank and federal re serve tank notes.

Commenting upon the return to j General Pershing's command of five divisions brigaded with the British j general, March said it showed clearly -the success of the plan for using all facilities to give American units their final polishing. It would not have been possible t otherwise, he indicated, to have se- cured so large a trained force under Pershing in so short a time. Senators of the military committee were told by General March at their j weekly conference that the accounts of the large number of captured Aus- trians for some unknown reasons were printed only in American newspapers j and not in anv of Eurorje's.

HERE Canvass Necessary To Bring Subscriptions Up to Goal. Friday Night's Sleetings Failed To Raise Allotment. WILL CONTINUE THE CAMPAIGN Shawnee Must Not Darken Rec- ord by Falling Short. Pledges Bind Signers To Buy Any Time Before Jan. 1. For the first time since war finan cial campaigns were inaugurated in this country, Shawnee county Friday night undersubscribed an assigned quota. War savings stamp pledges made at or previous to the school house meetings totaled only 1701,000 The Shawnee county quota, includign allotment is raised Charles S. Elliott, county war sav ings stamp campaign chairman, said this morning that it is possible that a misunderstanding on the part of the citizens Is largely responsible. Elliott said ;hat many persons have the idea that when the pledge card is signed the act binds that person to purchase a certain numoer or war stamps on the indicated dates. All this is so, but only in. a measure. The pledge card is in- tended to indicite the number of stamos the goven.mett may count on selling before January 1, 1919. In redeeming your pledge you may buy your June stamps in December if you chose the pledge will be fulfilled just the same. House to House Canvass. In spite of the figures recorded Fri day night, Elliott was far from dis couraged this morning. He just set his teeth and began the preliminary arrangements for staging a house to house campaign at once. It Is expect ed that the teams of business men will comb the uptown sections of the city; the women's teams will work In the residence sections, and the Boy Scouts will act in the capacity of clean-up men. covering the whole of the city as they l.ave been accustomed to do In the war savings stamp work. 80 Per Cent New Buyers. i Elliott said today that about 89 per ceni or me subscriptions which were made at the meetings Friday night were new subscriptions made by persons who have heretofore taken no active part In the systematic sav ings system. Elliott expressed con fidence that Topeka and Shawnee county will quickly retrieve themselves from the stigma of the failure to make the required pledge quota. El liott said that he was sure that the citizens would see to It that when the final counting of noses comes in Janu ary that it will be found that Topeka is well over -the top. It is believed that many persons who already had subscribed for war savings stamps did not attend any of the meetings or turn in cards. The amount from this source is expected materially to swell the total. Many Went Over Top. Nearly all of the schools which re- i ported Friday night turned In over. the-top subscriptions. The Crockett War Savings society was the first one to turn ln ,ts report $1,230. The combined Catholic churches reported a tofa.i tas.nnn in ni-rira. m. The colored people meeting at the McKinley .school went, over the top with a total subscription of $2,220 on a quota of $1,000 St. John's Luther an scnool reported a total pledge of $5,300; quota $1,200. Complete returns on the total amount of pledges signed at the Fri day night meetings were not available today.

KILLED GUNNERsIt THEIR GUN Shot One Officer and Then Took Two Others Prisoners. Held Post Until Dark With One Man and Lewis Gun. London, June 29. The feats at arms of knights of old are rivalled in modern warfare by the remarkable record of P lvate Beesley, of the Rifle brigade, who has just been awarded the Victoria cross. When t.U the officers and noncom missioned officers had been killed in an attack. Private Beesley took com mand of his comi ny. Leading the assault he captured an emeny post single handed, killed two Germans at their machine guns and then shot dead an officer who attempted to man the guns. Three more officers were rushed from a dugout. One attempt ed to destroy a map, Beesley shot him. ized the map and made prisoner the other two officers. Four more offi cers came out. They were disarmed by the indomitable Beesley and sent back as prisoners. As the enemy began to retreat a comrade brought up a machine gun. Beesley used this with great effect on the fleein- Germans. For four hours under a heavy fire Beesley and his comrade held their position. The Germans counter attacked and Bees ley's comparion was -wounded. Bees ley kept his Lewis gun going and held the er.em; in check until long after the post on his left had been wiped out. Not until darkness came did Beesley move back to the original line. When he did he brought along his woundet comrade and the Lewis gun. rteesley then mounted the gun on a parapet and kept it going against the enemy until things "had quieted. The Official Gazette says of Beesley: "His indomitable pluck, skillful sboot Ing'and good judgment in -economizing ammunition stamp this incident as one of the most brilliant in recent opera tions." Of the ten other men. awarded the English county regiments altho number: Second "Lieutenant Schofield. of the Lancashire fusilters with nine men by great daring and clever disposition of his force, captured 140 Germans. Ser geant Woodale of the rifle -brigade, single handed captured a machine gun and eight men. Shortly afterward at the head of ten men of his com pany the sergeant captured a farm and thirty more Germans. No Protest in Washington.. Washington.

Washington, June 29. President Wilson is formulating his "doctrine of aid" for Russia. No Set Plan. With orders issued that he shall not be disturbed, the president worked in his study preparing a statement which THE RAINBOW'S MESSAGE will make clear America's purposes in the allied effort to put Russia on her feet: There is no indication today that the president will advocate unqualifiedly a set plan for the allies.

Tha president's work fs.'endered doubly difficult by the. confusing re ports from Russia. The only certain thing about the situation there, is the increasing chaos.

The heavy profit made by the low cost concern under a government fixed price for the whole country. The heavy profit made by the meat packers and allied industries, and by the flour millers. The trade tendency to Increase and maintain prices against the forces of competition. The report Is based on findings by the commission for the war Industries board, the food administration, the fuel administration and other execu tive departments on industrial surveys and thru enforcement of laws against unfair methods of competition.

"These profits' It Is stated, "are indefensible considering that an aver age profit of one mill for six months of the year shows as high as 82 a barrel."

In making the call, 400 men who had signed the harvest army enlistment cards were notified of the need, but very, very shortly after the cards were in the malls Dan ner began receiving calls on the tele phone. And In nearly every case the voice on the line was rapidly offering excuses concerning a too hot sun, an Intractable employer and a slowing down of enthusiasm. lanner said today that he is send ing out cards to another 400 men who signed the enlistment blanks, but states that his optimism is not nearly so great as it was concerning a ready response in the affirmative.

Without attempting to pass upon the diplomatic phases of Japanese In tervention, army men declare Japan and China, as the nearest man-power sources, would be the logical military aid for Russia.

A,WHiTElS A PROPHET He Tells Frisco That Airplanes Will Be Traffic Way Soon. San Francisco, Cal., June 29. Speaking of world changes coming out of the war, here's one already at hand: William Allen White, champion of the village, now' says the city is the hope of democracy. The sage o& Emporia made his in teresting observation as he jogged along down Market street the other afternoon to catch a train for Palo Alto. He is touring the country in the Interest of the American Red Cross, financing the trip himself and telling the story of his visit to the western front. You may not know just what de mocracy is,-'' but you will know what a democrat Is if you meet William Allen White. "But. what about Emporia?" he was asked, when he made his remark about the city being the hope of democracy. "Well, Emporia is quite a little city at that," he answered. "But there won't be any cities after a while. They'll just be big business centers and everybody will live in the country, and commute by airplane. That's some thing to figure cn, this commercial airplane business. It's gcing to bring some big changes." "Do you think the war Is going to bring more democracy into the world?" I "It's a cinch! There will be some big changes. Economic, rather than political, I believe. There Isn't going to be any lowering of the standards of labor. Every trend is toward gov ernmental concern and supervision In the production of wealth." "Will the war result in universal military service for America?" "I hope so "And a large standing army?" No Danger of Militarism. "No, I don't think- It will. If we have universal military training we shouldn't need a big aim;. But there isn't any danger cf saddling America with militarism. Militarism is Im possible In a na ion where the gov erning Impulses are within the indi viduals, and where the pooling of these Impulses makes democracy."

At mid night Thursday night in the court house at Oswego the last chapter in the Wick murder case, which stirred Kansas, was written. John H. Win field, negro, who confessed to the triple murder, had been brought from the stats penitentiary at Lansing, where he had been taken for safe keeping. Hurried to District Court. -That his coming could not be fore told thru the absence of Labette county officers, Wlnfield was brought down by Bob Frazier of Cherokee county. Taken before a justice of the peace ne was arraigned and waived preliminary hearing and benefit of counsel. immediately taken to the district court, in special session, he pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to state prison for life. Cheriff Elam of Labette county and Sheriff Frazier of Cherokee took him after the court pronounced sentence ana orove out into the night without waiting a moment. He was not in the county more than thirty minutes. The route of the party is .not known definitely, as every pre caution was taken to keep It secret. Would Have Been Lynched. After Winfield wa arrested, June 1, he confessed and was taken to Lan sing to avoid mob violence. Since that time there has been an organization in Parsons waiting for him to be brought back to the county for trial, when he would be lynched. The officers lulled this watchfulness into a belief that Winfield would not be brought back for several weeks yet. Had the negro murderer of Jtfrs. Wick and her two children November 13 last been de tained here until news of his presence was known his lynching would have been certain.

WAXING RICH tContlnoed trom uyt One. line, the industry being one where the law of supply and demand still oper ates. The operation of this law is held to be in part responsible for the heavy profits, but a portion of the blame la laid to the spreading of false reports regarding supplies. Steel companies made -abnormal profits before the government fixed a price for the product and it is shown that some have since made unusual returns. Profits of the United States Steel corporation are estimated at 24.9 per cent In 1917, as compared with 15. per cent in 916 and 5,2 per cent in 1915. Officials Draw Big Salaries. In practically every one of the other Industries covered by the report, it is shown unusually heavy profits have been made in the last few years. Ab normal salaries are also shown to have been paid executive officials. Trade practices contributing in ad dition to the profits to higher prices to consumers are noted as failure to ship goods on a rising market or re fusal to accept goods on a. falling market commercial bribery, and tne tendency of manufacturers to main tain a re-sale price. f Armour, Swift, Morris, Cuiialiy Profits. Armour, Swift, Morris and Cudahy were designated as the leaders in meat profit; the Wilson company's profits was large but not comparable to those of the remainder of the big five. Morris Made S6S Per Cent. The profits of Morris Co., for the fiscal year ending November, 1917, is equal to the net worth of the company (capital and surplus) and 263.7 per cent on the 33,000,000 capital stock outstanding. In the cases of the other four companies the earned rate is from 27 to 47 per cent. One Steel Mill Made Sit Per Cent. No less astonishing are the revela tions concerning some steel mills in class three those which start with furnaces and who recently complain ed that government prices were too low for them. .It was found that in one instance 319.67 per cent profit had been made, while many others aver aged over 100 per cent. The copper Industry more than dou bled its average earnings.. Twenty-one companies made profits in 1917 which ranged from 1 to 107 per cent on their investments. Toe average profit was over 24.4 per cent as compared with 11.7 per cent Njn 1913, a normal year. These increases were partly due to the heavy war de mands. Zinc Industry Normal. No unusual profits were found by the commission in the sine industry with the exception of the New Jersey Zinc company. Basing percentage on the ranital stock issue of 335,000,000, this concern made 58 per cent profit in 1917 and paid a dividend of 4C per cent. The large profits of this con cern are explained by the possession of an ore body of usual purity and richness. The International Nickel company made profits in 1918 of 318,587,000, 40 per cent. The increased profits here are due largely to increased output, rather than advanced prices. The commis sion was not inclined to blame them for profiteering. Information of the commission does not Indicate excessive profits on lum ber on the western coast. Forty-eight southern pine producers made an average profit on the net in vestment in 1917 of 17 per cent as compared with 5.3 per cent in 1916. Coal Mines Made 00 Cents a Ton. Twenty-three bituminous coal mines in central Pennsylvania averaged a margin of 90 cents a ton In 1917, as comparied with 20 cents In 1916. The highest margin of any of these com panies was 31.85 as compared with 1 cents in 1916. Out of the 106 refining companies Investigated, the first quarter of 191 shows an average profit of about 21 per cent. The average pre-war profit was about 15 per cent. X Leather industry profits increased as high as five tinuf over those of pre? war years. v Milk Company Made 65 Per Cent. Survey of the leading canned milk companies show that practically everv decrease or decline was inaugurated by either the Borden Condensed Milk company or the Helvetia Milk Con densing company. In 1917, according to the statement cf the company. Hel vetia made over 20 per cent on cost and 65 per cent on investment. The Borden made approximately 13 per cent on cost, considered relatively high. Fifty-Two Per Cent on Salmon. Sa'.mon cannets" profits were ap proximately 62.8 per cent on the ne' investment. This average does not reveal that i-ome of the low coast com panies included ic the average made over ?.C0 per cent. Numerous subterfuges were resorted to by concerns earning nnder tbe ban of government price fixing. In many cases the companies sought to evade the law by apcont juggling, the re port said. Some padded costs by heav ily Increasing officers' salaries. One concern was found to have charged to expenses nearly $2,000,000 paid n sal aries and commissions. Several sinylr items showed payments of over 8160. 000. TODATS ARKET REPORTS Chicago. June 29.

An improvement of the pipeline system that will make for greater flexibility and will allow the pressure dispatcher greater freedom In handling the flow ef gas in emergencies Is the Cotton Valley measuring station or junction, near Wann, Ok. Four large pipeline systems are tied together there into one enormous unit. "The gas of many fields passes tljru the network of piping. All the gaa coming from any line or passing to any line at this junction is accurately measured by Orifice meters which give permanent record of the amount of gaa and the pressure at which it passed. The junction la so constructed that the gas from any ope of the fields may be passed te practically any part of any of the four systems which meet there. It is the heart of the Henry L Doherty natural gas pipeline system.

This is not a credit reflection on anyone it is our future Business Policy and" is being very generally adopted by the auto trades over the country. Please do not ask for temporary charges as we are discontinuing our charge and billing systems on this date and will have no means of handling deliveries which are not paid. Cash business in our office means efficiency, it means less help, less detail, less losses, con sequently less cost to you. It is a business short cut to better business. In our case it will save the help of one clerk and enable us to give you even better service than in the past. Good business today demands the elimination of all unnecessary costs. A credit and charge system, no matter how good, always suffers some losses which the good customers have to help to pay in some form or other and wastes of this kind are 'unnecessary and unpatriotic at this time. We know you will like this method and solicit the continued patronage of our present customers and invite all those who have not so far traded with us. A slight change in service and other charges will also be put into effect to meet increased operating and shop cost3 occasioned by present conditions. If one has a letter to mail, it is of course very important that it is mailed but it is not mailed until its right to travel has been paid for in advance. The government uses this method because it saves detail, money, work and time.

RUN NATIVES OUT OF WORK Japs Replace Men in All Lines of Work in Peru. To Protect Labor Against Inva sion of Cheap Help. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Lima, Peru. The newspapers of Peru are much concerned with, the rapid increase of what they call the "peligro amarillo," or yellow peril in Peru. It is said that in Peru today there are no less than 300.000 Peruvians who have Chinese and Japanese blood in their veins to such an extent that the Oriental characteristics are promi nent in their features and many Peru vian girls attempt to hide this trait by wearing dark glasses. Formerly the Chinese exclusively overran the country, but during the last few years the Japanese have been arriving in numbers that alarm Peru vians. The newspapers point out what they describe as a dangerous situation aris ing from the Asiatics forcing the native Peruvians out of almost every trade by working much cheaper than the Peruvians. Japs Taking Vpper Hand. The Japanese own and operate the majority of barber shops, the Peru vian carpenter has given way to Japanese, and Japanese servants are rapidly replacing the diligent Andine servants. Doctor Pardo, the president of the republic, has thirty Japanese servants in his mansion, a fact that has been much commented upon in recent newspapers. The Japanese also have forced the native workers out of the small trades and minor Industries, such as laun dries, dairies, tin shops, news stands, messenger services, small cafes, etc. El Tiempo, of Lima, is one of sev eral newspapers which have opened their columns for discussion as to how the Peruvian laborers can be pro tected against this invasion. In view of the fact that the invaders appear to be perfectly contented to work Just as hard as the native for half his wages.

Rotary's close link to the govern ment of the United States, without which Rotary cannot live, was set forth in the preamble of the resolu tion, with the statement that the war had opened up to Rotary new fields of opportunity for national service and that the Rotary convention had been called together to make larger the ser vice of Rotary in this critical time. Allied Cause Righteous. The first clause of the resolution proper related Rotary's faith in the righteousness of the allied cause, and dedicated the organization, "with re newed zeal, to its part in the conse crated task of freeing civilization now and for all time from the menace of brutalized might." Its reading, before adoption, provoked a prolonged burst of applause from the entnusiastic audience. Pledges Added Support. The cheering was repeated time after time as other sections of the resolution were read, pledging Rotary to support all agencies which may di rectly or indirectly contribute to win ning the war. In this connection co operation with the government was as sured in all local problems arising from war activity, continuance and broadening of Rotary activities in re gard to the sale of government securi ties and thrift was promised, and quick and unmerciful trial for sedi tion, sabotage and criminal disloyalty recommended.

The other sec tion recommended further restrictions on the use of grain and sugar in the manufacture of intoxicants. The salvage of used articles and materials, and the reduction of waste to a minimum, and the earliest pos sible utilization of undeveloped water power resources as a war economy measure, were also supported in the resolution.

EAT PASTE ON POSTER Terrible Hunger Scenes Enacted Streets In Russia. London, June 2. Russia is in a state of Indescribable suffering. "It is a frequent sight," says a Petrograd despatch, quoting the Kovya Viedo mesky, "to see people drop dead on thestreets from starvation. Hundreds of starved and famished citizens are ravenously digging among the rubbish heaps, others lick the paste off the street posters. Meanwhile, bands of armed workmen are sent by the com mune to prowl around the country side and seize food from the peasants." A new periodical called "The Stom ach," advertises itself as the organ of emaciated and hungering readers. Armed clashes, killings and burglaries are the order of the day. Everything political and military pales before the famine. The masses are making no pretense at resisting the iron grip of the Soviets but are merely clamoring for bsead, caring for nothing else. Heirlooms and family treasures go to the curiosity shops and pawn brokers, so money may be obtained to buy a few small pieces of what passes for bread. A small lump of sugar sells for fifty"cents.

In the Ukraine as certain returred American observers see it. Germany had put back into power the reaction ary forces. The landowners and big property holders who had been de posed by the revolution had their property restored to them in part at least by the Germans. They represent the most organized force in the com munity. Many were pro-German in sympathy and violent pro-German as opposed to the radicalism of the Bol sheviki. So the Huns attempted to bind them to Germany. Thirty Divisions In East. At the same time the unorganized, illiterate peasant class got the worst of it. They have been robbed and pillaged and maltreated in every fash ion. While there has been no regular warfare or armies, Germany, the Americans say, has been forced to keep more than thirtv divisions on the east front to meet the guerilla war fare that has resulted and attempt to maintain order. For only by keeping a semblance of quiet can It be expect ed that crops would be planted and harvested and the needed food for uermany ana Austria maintained. The pacification of the ITirrain t,a other border states thev hn h... disappointingly hard and difficult task for the Huns as a result Austria was to have the-job agd release all the Hun divisions for the west front but the Austrian troops soon become saturated with the revolution and become worth less so Germany has been forced to withhold many badly needed divisions from the west front. Communes Maintain Order. Away from the border states where the Hun has penetrated and in the heart of Russia, away from the larger cities, Russia is fairly quiet these Americans say. The soldiers returned to their villages and they have gone ahead living their own life under the communal system of the old time Rus sia without disturbance. There is a marked absence of government as It is known in the United States. But the communal system suffices to maintain order. Several of these re turned Americans traveled for hun dreds and even for thousands of miles I thru the Interior of Russia, they say and had no trouble and were as safe 1 as In a well polieed city. Conditions in the big cities and trouble centers, of course, are difficult. In the coun- try crops are being planted. But the disorganization and breakdown of transportation and finances is the -worst difficulty. The farmer has food to sell but he doesn't want roubles in pay for it. He wants shoes or cloth- lng which is hard to obtain and 1 roubles can't buy it In many places, j Bartering in some communities has replaced the use of money, which the peasant regards of doubtful value if he cannot buy shoes or clothing or things he needs with It. Aid for Russia. In this economic and commercial phase as well as in the national or ganization which will restore trans portation and more free disposition be tween country and towns lies Rus sia's greatest weakness today. Presi dent Wilson, it is known, has been working on the problei.. of how best the United States could, aid Russia and save her from getting in the Hun c'.utches entirely. Eventually she will have to turn somewhere for the manufactured? goods like shoes and clothing. She needs them now. They will be imperative in the months to come. If the report of the overthrow of the revolution is true, then the al lies and the United States have waited too long and the delay has cost them Russi... If It Is false as many believe as has been pointed out, it is expected it will hasten a decision as to what hall be done. It may be combined military and economic Intervention. But it now looks as if a definite pro gram of economic assistance on a big scale will be taken. HAPPYTO SEE YANKS Sergeant Shaffer of Topeka Writes of Arrival Overseas. Mrs. H. E.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1918 ALLEN IN WARNING Kansan at Front Tells of Dan ger From Russia. We Mnst Meet German Propa ganda With Our Own. WAITING POLICY WON'T GO Kaiser May Be Reinforced byj Millions of Slavs. Then There Is Japan She May Flop to Germany! In a letter to his own paper, the Wichita Beacon. Henry J. Allen warns Americans against a prolonged watch ful waiting policy in Russia. America and the allies must meet German propaganda; with allied propaganda, Allen declares, or Germany will be back In the fighting In 1819 reinforced by a million troops from Russia, Allen, who Is In France as director general of the intelligence bureau of the American Red Cross, has found an opportunity to view the Russian situa tion in a light little reflected in the United States. "Since we are playing the world's game of War." the Wichita, editor writes home, "why do we not play a world's game In diplomacy?" We Hare Made No Effort. In his discussion of the Russian situation, Allen said: America has as yet made no serious effort to meet German propaganda in Russia with the thrilling propaganda of liberty and equality for which we stand as a nation. When a hired German propaeandlst tells a simple audience of untaught Russians that America has abandoned her, there Is no one there apparently to explain that we'd like to help Russia if we only knew how. Wliat About Japan? An there stands Japan, watching the game: Japan Is not dreaming democracy's dreams. Phe has no par ticular objection to the militaristic ideals of Germany, except Insofar as they may menace Japan's Interests. Can anvone see any flaw in the argu ment from her standpoint if she should grow weary of the failure of the allies to do anything effective In the Russian situation; if she should, after a while, say to Germany, "be tween ns we should control Russia?" All the new kingdoms, republics and states which were set nn in coded Russian territory are Germany's. .There Is In the conquered lands a large man nower. trained to arms, needing direction. No one who thinks of It doubts over hre that if we allow the situation to drift, a million Russians will be showing up in the German army next year. Apparently Germany has the same entirely to herself. That U-Doat Menace. TV's have seen settled practically within six months the U-boat menace. It was Germany's instrument for win ning the war. It was to keep the al lies from drawing upon the man power of America. In spite of It a million or more Americans will be fighting In France this summer and the U-boat will not be able to prevent this num ber from growing Into multiplied fig ures. What's the new Instrumentality upon which Germany must depend to meet the man power of the new foe' The answer is obvious she must find new men. Does any one doubt that oermany Is at work upon it?

The letter was written June 1 at the time of the German "big push" and Cowgill expressed disappointment at the fact that his heavy ordnance unit was ordered to retreat farther to the rear when the Germans advanced. "The guns which my company used," said Cowgill, "shoot a distance of twelve miles. We don't, of course, al ways hit what we shoot at, but when we use gas shells, we make things awfully uncomfortable for Fritz, and he generally moves out of the place being bombarded."

CALL TO COLORS 8,000 Teachers To Be Mobilized at Pittsburgh, Fa. Will Gather To Discuss War- Modified Education. SCHOOL HOUSE WAR CENTER Three Members of Cabinet Will Address Jleeting. Great Jfationa Convention To Be Held July 2 to 5. Pittsburgh, Pa.," June 29. The teachers of the country, at least the 8,000 of them that are gathering here for convention, for July 2 to 6. are go ing to throw their weight into this contest between Germany and Amer ica. They have been virtually called to the colors by the officers of the National Kducation association, man aging this annual convention. For one week they are going to djacuss war-modified education. Three cabi net officers, and possibly President Wilson, to say nothing of a host of notable war-time leaders and educa tors, will tell them what the govern ment wants them to o. School Houses War Centers. Leaders of the association say that Russia's collapse has made clear that the educational organization of the in telligence and co-operative effort of the people is essential to victory; that the army, which is the spear-head in France, must have its long, strong shaft at home. The council of nation al defense at Washington has decreed that the schoolhouse must serve as the government's outposts and has called on every state organization to assist in this civic organization at the school center. President Wilson has seen the need for this and has written person ally to every state, calling attention to this new movement, as one that will weld this nation together as no other great nation has ever been welded be fore, and thirty-eight states already have responded. Oklahoma Well Organized. In Oklahoma, they ask to test a man's loyalty, "Do you belong to the community council of defense?" formed in every school district of the state. The loyal districts are those that have 100 per cent membership of adults in this service and the school house in districts are competing with each other to show every man, woman and child lined up and ready for ac tion. Teachers to Become Leaders. This accounts for the animation with which teachers are looking for ward to the convention at Pittsburgh, for their leadership in community or ganization is going to be -their biggest and best contribution to overwhelming the enemy. Will Confer on School War Work. To get people In all walks and ranks of life, as well as one hundred and one war organizations, to- do team work together at the school house, takes study and discussion, hence three community conferences- have been planned under the auspices of the three principal agencies engaged In this educational work, the National Community Center association, the National Education association, and the United States bureau of educa tion. These conferences are to last four days, July 2 to 5. Secretary Lane Will Speak. The president'of the National Edu cation association, Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, who is state superintendent of public instruction of Colorado, will give the keynote in an opening ad dress Monday, July 1, entitled, "The Building of the New Civilization," but the main conferences will begin the following day when the United States secretary of the interior. Franklin K. Lane, will speak on "America's Ex periment in Democracy What Are Its Failures and Successes?" The Ultimate Unit of Democracy. John Collier, president of the Na tional Community Center association, will give the point of view of the citi zen, whs wishes to become a member of the community council of defense. The council of national defense at Washington will present the system It has inaugurated of local council or ganizations at the school house, and the bureau of education, thru Com missioner Claxton, will tell why the school district la the "Ultimate Unit in Democracy."

"This is bet ter than standing behind a counter in a store all day and very much pleas anter than facing bargain day rushes." remarked one of the twelve girls in stalled as elevator operatives in the Waldorf Astoria hotel today. "Of course. I am on my feet all day, but I am not harassed by people who have difficulty in choosing goods. Passen gers all know just what floor they want." The new "lift" girls were tastefully attired in uniform costumes Including linen skirts, white waists with sailor collars and- Windsor ties and white shoes and stockings. They were selected to fill a dozen of the "non essential" jobs heretofore held by men, but which rrtust be vacated by men by July 1. Women as ticket choppers on the interurban transit company lines are also to be used in positions for which men cannot be found. Vice President Frank Hedley announced today. He said: "Extreme difficulty has been found in getting men to maintain train schedules, even tho we have increased the age limit from 45 to 55 and de spite the fact that employes, realizing conditions, have willingly agreed to work overth-.e. We are, therefore, using women for such work as they can perform efficiently." INDIAN WOMAN LOSES Huron Cemetery In Kansas City, Kan., Will Be Made Into Park. Leavenworth. Kan.. June 29.

Professional marksmen who have been in the habit of, touring the country from shoot to shoot have many of them already declared their intentions of participating. One of the biggest attractions at this shoot is the opportunity of con testing for $10,000 worth of liberty bonds and war savings certificates under the very eyes of the men whose welfare makes these securities neces sary. All of the entrance money paid in by shooters who desire to take part in the match willbe donated to the American Red Cross.

The National league made a lar-sighted ruling at a recent meeting in New York. The new rule has to do with play ers who are Inthe army and navy, and who freoue: tiy find time to rejoin their clubs c play several games while on furlo. After September 1 no player In the service will be permitted to take part in a championship game unless his club is under the player limit of twenty-three men. and prior to that I date no payer will be eligible to doff his service uniform and done baseball regalia unless he has written permis sion from his commanding officer. Several star players in both the na tional and American leagues who could be a big help to their respective clubs during the race down the home stretch to pennantville next fall, will he counted on in case they can secure furlos. and in the National league in case their teams are carrying less than twenty-three men. Think what a help Grover Alex ander would be. to the Cubs should he be able to return during a crucial series. Figure out what Red Faber might do in the way of helping the White Sox. It would be mighty soft for either of these clubs could they call their pitching stars back In time of need, hut it would cause much 111 feeling among rival clubs. For this very reason the National league promulgated its recept ruling, and it la eminently fair to all clubs. SPORT DOPE Br JACK KEENE. That sensational rally of the Wash ington club at St. Louis a few days in wv.ir.h tho RAnators scored six runs in the ninth Inning and de feated tne Browns, o w somewhat similar rally last season in which Urban Shocker, the victim at St. Louis, also suffered. Shocker was pitching for the Yankees, and in a game at Cleveland he had blanked the home team up to the ninth, the Yankees in the meantime collecting five runs for him. Cleveland got busy with one out in the ninth and finally got six runs with two out, winning the game 6 to 5. Shocker gave way to Russell during that rally. Just as he did to Gallia at St. Louis, but it was against him that the Carnage was done, each club puttins on a six-run rally after apparently being shut out. Nick Cullop. the left-hand pitcher who came to the St. Louis Americans ta a trade with the New York Ameri cans last fall, gives no indication of wishing to loin the St. Louis club, and Business Manager Quinn has come to tl e conclusion that he will not report tLls season. It was expected that Cul lop would report for spring training at Shreveeort, La., and attempt an ad justment ofr salary differences, but nothing has been heard from him. Bert Kiehoff.who was engaged to nlay second base for the Giants in the absence of Larry Doyle, nvas en gaged on the theory he would im prove for two reasons.. First, Mc Graw has wisely satisfied his salary demands and, second, Niehoff Is glad to put on a New York uniform. Niehoff played great ball for the Phillies, in 18i5 and 1916. But he became dissatisfied with his pay and vainly asked for an increase. He didn't care about playing with the Cardinals and was highly gratified when McGraw purchased his release. Under McGraw's persuasion the new Giant has proved a big favorite at the Polo grounds. President Thomas J. Hickey, of the American association makes the posi tive statement that the association will finish its season as scheduled and that the schedule will not be curtailed in any way. The statement was made to dispell runiors that the organization might suspend. President Hickey's statement was made after he had obtained the views of each of the etght club presidents over the uncertainty prevailing in re gard to General Crowder's "work or fight" regulations and the war situa tion as it affects baseball. "I have been in communication with every club president, either by tele phone or personal interviews, and every one wants It made known that the association will finish its sched ule," President Hickey's statement read. "The attendance has improved since the weather settled, and regardless of attendance or anything else we will finish the season as called for by the schedule. That is if the government should request that baseball suspend we will of course fulfill the wishes of the federal authorities." The Toronto Star attributes the success of American troops, fighting in France to their previous baseball training, in an editorial which reads: "Baseball being the national game of the United States; there never was any doubt about the Americans show ing plenty of dash and courage in war. Not only do the players show these Qualities, but any country is all right that can produce umpires who will go right ahead in defiance of two infuriated nines and a raging multi tude."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29. 1918 SOUNDS LIKE FAKE Story of Russian Revolt Con tains Inconsistencies. Korniioff and Kaledines Hare Been Dead Long Time. SUSPECT HUN PROPAGANDA Americans Just Out of Russia Say Bolsheviki Are Strong. It Is Very Hard To Get Straight News From Russia. Washington, June 23. If. as report ed In various cablegrams, the revolu tion in Russia has been overthrown, delay In deciding what was best to do has cost the allies Russia. However, diplomats here doubt seriously the truth of these cablegrams. No Confirmation. The state department and the Rus sian embassy here have nothing to confirm the reported overthrow of the Bolshevik regime and the capture of Ikloscow by an army headed by Kornil oTf and backed by German troops. From Swedish sources, the text of the same unverified report had been re ceived by the state department. Also official dispatches telling of the grad ual weakening of the Bolshevik gov ernment had been received in the last few days that might lend some credit to the reports Lenine and Trotzky had finally fallen and Grand Duke Nicholas been proclaimed emperor. Returned Americana Doubt It. Americans who had but recently re turned from Russia scouted the story. One American who had been in Rus sia thruout the war and only arrived in Washington two days ago branded the report as more likely to be Ger man propaganda put out for a very definite purpose rather than the truth. This particular person, who because of the capacity in which he had been in Russia, had had a splendid oppor tunity to get at the heart of the situa tion said: Story Is Inconsistant. "Of course, everything is possible In Russia. I have been away five weeks now. Such a turn of events was not even probable then. It has every ear mark of subtle German propaganda put out to confuse the United States just as it is about to make an impor tant decision on policy in regard to Russia. But there are several things imDrobable in the story. In the first nlace KornilonT is dead. He was mur dered. In the second, Kaledines com mitted suicide. They at least are not leading the armies, for dead men don't fight. In the third place the report says Lenine and Trotzky have fled to the Murman coast. That is a fifteen days' journey from Moscow and would not be the logical place for them to seek refuge, should they have been overthrown. Put Out to Confuse Allies. "I don't know a thing about today's report but knowing these facts of the Russian situation, I can't help believe it is German propaganda put out to confuse the United States and the al lies Just when they are seeking a def inite decision to do something about Russia. One thing is sure, if Grand Duke Nicholas has been proclaimed emperor, he will not be alive much longer than thirty days. The legend that exists in America of his strength and genius and popularity is all a myth. Of the Romanoffs. Grand Duke Michael is the best of the lot and he is a weakling." Wlmt the Facts Are, Regardless of the truth or falsity of the reported overthrow of the Bol shevik government, this correspondent is able to give a picture of the Russian situation as this American and others who have come out recently view it. He Is not a Bolshevik himself. He is not in sympathy with their economic teachings or wild dreams. But he recognizes the conditions that exist in Russia as they relate to winning the war, and feels that the United States must not misjudge the real situation as it has and the allies have so much of the time since the Russian revolu tion. Hard to Get Truth. From the American standpoint, one of the most troublesome factors has been that so much of the Russian news has come from Stockholm. This has been more or less unfavorable be cause it is the first spot where cables are available and there is no censor. As a result the news gathering sources largely are concentrated there. Stock holm has been a hotbed of German propagan" "-om the outset of the war, and the Hun agents feed into it the rumors and unverified reports and alarms from RAissia that they desire to put out. As the true news as well as the constant stream of rumors all pour thru Stockholm it is difficult not to carry as news at times, the prop aganda and reports that the Hun agents in Russia desire to put out to influence opinion and decision in America and the allied countries. This is particularly perplexing because Russia is so disorganized that it is difficult to get thru the ordinary channels of state information anything like an accurate report on events that occur from time to time. Russian People With Bolshcvikl. The common impression has been current in diplomatic circles here that the Bolshevik government was about thru that its downfall was coming on its fall 're In distribution of food stuffs. This person who had Just come out of Russia didn't think so. It is known that Raymond Robbins and other agents of the American Red Cross who have recently come out of j Russia don t entertain that view. They believe the Bolshevik government has a firmer hold today on Russia than any government since the revolution. It is stronger, rather than weaker, in their opinion than it was months ago. Conditions are far from rosy. They are ba enough and in some portions as bad as could be imapined. But the forces that are strong enough to over throw them hadn't appeared yet on the scene. As they see it, the danger lay in a counter revolutionory move ment from the reactionaries backed V. Germany and a Hun army. But the great mass of the Russian people, 90 per cent of whom can't read or write, were sympathetic with the Bol sheviki cause in their opinion. TOPEKAN FLYING NOW Corp. Geo. H.

Postmaster General Burleson op posed the proposition, but congress insisted on it. FROHWERK GETS 10 YEARS Kansas City German Paper Convicted Vnder Espionage Act. Kansas City, June 29.

Rejection of the Fall amendment proposing exten sion of the draft ages to 20 and 40 years paved the way for passage by the senate today of the $12,000,000,000 army appropriation bill. 49 to 25 Against Change. The long discussion over the exten sion of the draft ages which was con sidered unnecessary by Secretary Baker and General March, chief of staff, in statements made before the senate military committee, was ended by an adverse vote of 49 to 25. The debate on the Fall amendment as well as on similar amendments of fered by Senator Hardwick, of Geor gia and by Senator Weeks of Massa chusetts, indicated that the majority of members prefer to postpone all ef forts to extend the draft ages until the new army program promised by Secretary Baker is submitted. Provides Air Corporation. The appropriation bill as it stood for passage today contains several im portant senate amendments.

The Elmhurst station almost swept away as the interlocked mass slid slong the rails for six hundred feet "fter the impact. Responsibility for the wreck was not placed. CONFIRM EX-CZAR'S DEATH Further Reports Seem to Verify Those Received Yesterday. Stockholm, June 29. The German embassy at Moscow confirms the mur der of Nicholas Romanoff, former czar, according to a dispatch received here. The Nashe Blovo declares that per sons arriving in Moscow from Ekater inburg, state that when the Czecho slovaks advanced on the latter city, Red guards went to the former em peror's mansion and ordered the whole family to prepare to leave on a special train. While en route to the station, Nicholas heatedly protested against transfer to an unknown place, whereupon the Red guard escort bayonetted him. Empress Not Molested. The former empress and her daugh ters were not molested. The former czarevitch was taken to a separate, unknown place. Countess Brassova, wife of Grand Duke Michaele, was imprisoned in Butir penitentiary in Moscow. The perils of the Bolshevik alliance with Germany will be greater than ever If the allies invade Siberia. "If forced to choose between the evils of Germany and Japanese orien tation, we prefer the former, because there is a chance of a revolution in Germany," War Minister Trotzky de clared in a speech at Moscow this week.

"It Is a fact known to government auditors that our company's profit on each pound of product in the meat food lines is only one-fourth of a cent. We have developed our business to a point where those quarter pennies are brought In fast enough to make millions of dollars. The return on our investment is now less than 9 per cent." Armour designated the commission's charges as the "old cry against busi ness because It is big," and claimed the packing business is the one industry measuring fully up to war needs. Profits Wetuvto Meet War Needs. "History will show that in order to feed the American people the pack ers have had to find $3 of outside capita 1 for every $1 provided from earnings of the business," Armour as serted. It was unfortunate, the packer said, for one branch of the government to make such a report when another de partment had placed such large orders with the company for feeding soldiers that new capital had to be sought. a concerTat gage Marshall's Band Will Play at S O'clock Sunday Afternoon.

FOCH READY 5o Chance "ow of llindeaburg Catching Him Unawares. Is Prepared To Widen Front Before Using Reserved. BT J. W. T. MASON'. New Tork, Juf 2-. Xo new of fensive with which. Ton Hindenburg may seek to satisfy his blood mania can now take General Focn unawares. There is area, however, where General Fech may be prepared to see the allied front widened, rather than utilize his reserves, for the defense of the line as now existing. This la the sector east of Rheims. The long salient which Hindenburg created when he pushed southward to the Marne separates the French front east of Rheims from direct touch with the rest of the western battle line. Hindenburg is able to use hta own re serves for sudden operations between Rheims and Verdun, because he is on the inside of the circle. Genetrai Foch's reserves, however, are on the outside and can get to the Rheims-Verdun area only by making Ions Journey around the Mame lient. To guarantee the Rheims-Verdun front against danger of a sudden Ger man blow. General Foch would have to. move his reserves Into that sector. If"' if this were done, the defenses of Pans :nd the channel ports would be weakened. Von Hinaenburs; might then try a fain for the channel or Paris with General Foch's reserves far awav, on the eastern side of Marne salient. It is not probable that General Foch will risk being caught in such a tra For this reason, the Rheims-Verdun line may prove a tempting bait for von Hindenburg. The American sec tor alon the Lorraine front is near by. Von Hindenburg may reason that General Foch would have to draw upon the Americans to defend the Rheims-Verdun front, thus interfer ing with the allies' plans to preserve Pershing's army as far as "possible for its forthcoming major offensive. But General Foch has demonstrated that he is capable of avoiding this pit fall, if Von Hindenburg wishes to el tend his front east of Rheims in ex hanee for a further slaughtering of German man power. General Foch may well give his approval to the plan. Operations east of Rheims would still further exhaust Von Hin- denburgs reserves without in any way bringing Paris or the channel ports nearer German possession.

His parents were both born and brought up In Ger many, but are thoroly American in feeling and national spirit. Their sons are eager to do their part in deliv ering the death blow to Prussianism. Sergeant Fritz was employed in the mailing room of the Topeka State Journal for three years, leaving that position in 1911. From His Inters.

Hart, in "The Tiger Man," appears at the Orpheum three days next week. The play puts Hart back on the broncho, in chaps and wielding a big gun to the satisfaction of all kids from 7 to 70. Ruth Ingram, played by Jane Novak, a new feminine player with Artcraft pictures, appears as a woman of courage and enough will power to change Hart from a criminal steeped in crime to a hero deserving fame. The story Is an absorbing narrative of the desert days of the gold rush. A notorious bandit is regenerated thru the religious fervor of a beautiful Ictur woman, the wife of a minister of the yospel, and he surrenders to the of ficers of the law in order that the pastoral duties of the minister and his wife may be successful. The in cidents are, as usual in the ince-Hart pictures, dramatic and thrilling and in the "Tiger Man" they exert a power ful heart appeal. k IN FUNSTON NOW June Call of Topeka Draft Men Left Friday Slight.

From .a depot crowded to far be yond capacity, with friends and rela tives and streets lined for blocks with automobiles, 277 Topeka and Shawnee county selective service men left for Camp Funston Friday night. It was the largest crowd that has ever turned out to see a contingent of To peka men off, and the contingent it self was the biggest that has yet gone out from 3V?eka and Shawnee county in answer to a single call. Today the men of the June draft are all in Camp Funston undergoing the first steps toward the making of effective Hun sm iters. It is estimated that fully 10,000 per sons and 2,000 automobiles were jam med and crowded on the depot plat form and in the streets leading to the depot at the time the train left..

You have quite a bit of thunder in Kansas and every time you hear it you can imagine what the guns and shells sound like over here. Yester day we had a big field maneuver, much like the peace days in the United States with the red and blue armies. Had quite a congregation of men among whom were French gen erals and General Pershing. This was the first time I had ever Feen the dis tinguished gentleman and was very much impressed. While working in the field, the "old boy" stopped and shook hands and even passed me a cigar. Can you imagine a big gen eral and this humble oorgeant passing compliments In this manner? Wee, wee (Oui oui), a 16-inch shell couldn't have Jarred me off my pins any Quicker. Had a good notion to pickle and preserve the cigar, but thought It might get lost In the shuffle and cheat me out of a good smoke. It was what you would call a campaign cigar, but not the kind served at elec tion time. Tre's lou, tre's lou. You have hiard of the story, "when a fel ler needs a friend." Well, this was one time when I wished I had jone With a camera. The last week has not been so awfully hard, as we had a Holiday Thursday. We had a field day the entire day. Had running and jump ing contests with cash prizes in the morning and a baseball game in the afternoon. They were as a whole a success, but still they lacked the en thusiasm that they ould have had if there had lit-en some of our American fair sex present Anything of this sort, however, is a good thing for the soldier, as it relieves his mind from his duties and allows him to feel a little care free. Have had two morn ings, last Thursday and today that my sleep wasn't broken by that Infernal bugle. Seems as tho every time I hear first call In the morning I swear -that it will be the man's doom if he blows It when I am back in civilian life again. The Yankee Spirit. Have learned with interest the In tensity of the German drive which is going on at present. Am only sorry I am not one of those who are oppos ing it. Would give anything to De in the thick of it. If they would only put an American force in front of them, I have no fear but what the Germans would find they have struck a knot going thru the soft pine. The more I see of America's fighting force, the more I feel proud of the country they hail from. If Germany thinks he is hitting fruit when she hits the American line, all right, but I fear she la biting into some pretty bitter stuff which is going to leave a bad taste in her mouth to remember. She has pulled some pretty raw stuff which only tends to put a determination in the American and I feel confident the American doesn't forget very quickly. As far as I am concerned, and I know a good many more like me. I will give mem a little or the stun: stonewall Jackson was made of in a twentieth I century way. I am only proud of the i fact that you people are Americanized t to the full extent of backing me in anything I do. I. feel very proud of you in giving Walter and me to an i army of a country which has never) known defeat. Should there ever be such a thing as a lost member of your household, bear it in mind and let those who Inquire know that a cow ard was never known to be of your blood. Being lost in a battle of this war is not to he mourned over, but it Is an honor which people of former or future generations cannot bor.st over. If we are able to go thru this living hell, either live or die. all we ask of you is to be brave, and if necessary, be a good loser.

Last Appearance ot Famous Screen Duo BOYS IN HUN ARMY Youths of Class of 1919 Serving in Thirty Divisions in France With the American Army In France. German youths of the 1919 class who were serving in thirty divisions of the German army are among the prisoners who have been captured within the month. Information shows that men of this class are at the front in still other divisions. It is known that these young men are placed in the regiments in propor tion of ten to each company and that they are called upon In larger propor tion as reinforcements to replace the men lost in battle. They were sent to the front generally after only five months of training owing to the haste of the German preparations for the present great offensive on the western front. JACK PICKFORD AND LOUISE HUFF. Motion picture patrons throughout tho country will chalk up another score against the Kaiser when they learn that be is responsible for sep arating that popular screen duo. Jack Pickford and Louise Huff. Jack has given up his profession and Joined the navy because the Hun decided to make or going forward or sideways or any other way. The crowd was there to give the boys a bis send off and It did it. Entertainment Called Off. The entertainment which had been planned to take place at the auditor ium was abandoned for the time be ing. It was impossible to form the parade in the short time between the scheduled time for the closing of the entertainment and the start for the train. Chairman R. R. Baer, in charge of arrangements for the send-off, mar shalled his parade in short order and the long line of marching men moved towards the train thru twin lanes of cheering, handclapping citizens. It was the biggest demonstration that Topeka has staged in honor of the drafted men. "Big Bill" Biby was the principal speaker at the train. He admitted that in his capacity of a private citi zen he was in a position to tell the boys more things than if he was an officer of the army. Biby told the boys tales of deeds being done in France and showed the men the ro mance and the glory of the greatest adventure of all. "It Is a man's work, boys," said Biby. "and that is the rea son we are sendir.g you over there to do it. not for us alone but for all the world." Governor Capper' expressed the pride the state of Kansas takes in its fighting men, and said farewell to the men in the name of the great commonwealth. Seamen Struck ReefT Boston, June 29.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JO 1 1 RN AL SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1918 I o i ;-vB BY DAISY NEIL- Phone From 8:30 o. at, as t p. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Burns, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Williams. Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Staehler, Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Palmer, Dr. and Mrs. C. A McGulre, Milton Burwell, of Kansas City, Junior Staeb ler and Mary Alice Staebjer will drive to the country this evening for a pic nic supper. The large service flag that the Na tive Sons and the Native Daughters of Kansas are having prepared is now in the hands of George M. Stone, who is painting on the stars, and also paint ing the great seal of Kansas, which is to adorn the bottom of the flag. Tbis flag is in honor of all native born Kansans who shall serve in this war for world freedom. It will be hung beneath the dome of the. state house. The dimensions will be twelve by thirty feet. The design consists of a blue field studded with a multitude of white stars of various sizes, to rep resent the shy at night, the seat of Kansas placed at the bottom of the flag with a prevailing color the same as that of the field above it, and a red border about eighteen Inches wide around the field and seal. The starry field represents the sky of the seal extended indefinitely and there will be white stars on the seal also. The lat ter will be separated from the rest of the flag only by a thin circle of gold, as tho one held a golden hoop at arms length and viewed a portion of the surrounding landscape thru It. The objects and scenery on the seal will be painted in a shadowy black so as to look as tho viewed at night. The design is declared by compe tent judges who have seen the pre liminary sketch o be beautiful, ar tistic and impressive notwithstanding its simplicity. In order to get the right shade for the field or sky, white material has been especially dyed for the flag. Mrs. L. H. Munn is in charge of obtaining the material, and of the dyeing, cutting and sewing. Mr. tJeorse M. Stone made the design and is painting the stars and the seal. Every star represents a native Kan sas soldier. The parents or other near relations of native born Kansas sol diers are earnestly requested to send in at the earliest possible time sol diers' names and addresses to either State Eank Commissioner Walter' B. Wilson, president of the Native Sons of Kansas. State House. Topeka, or to Mrs. DeWitte C. Nellis, president of the Native Daughters of Kansas, 114 West Fifth street. Topeka. Klaborate dedication ceremonies have been planned, but the time has not yet been set. as the labor of paint ins on the very large number of stars takes a consideiable and uncertain amount of time. livery soldier's name sent In will be recorded In the archives of the Kan pas State Historical society, and will be a nermanent part of the state's his tory.

Daniel Muller and Miss Bernice He must The Spokesman Review of Spokane, Wash., contains large pictures of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Hargreaves, formerly of Topeka. Mr. Hargreaves is the son of Mra K. T. Hargreaves. of lilt Harrison street. He was teaching; In the Topeka high school when he re ceived his appointment of principal of the North Central high school of Spokane, which position he has held for nine years. He has recently re- Mrs. R. T. Hargreaves. formerly Miss Edna Morrow of Topeka. signed to become principal of a Minneapolis high school. Mrs. Hargreaves will be remembered as Miss Edna Morrow, daughter of Mrs. O. S. Morrow and sister to Mrs. Paul Walker. She is a graduate of Wash burn college and a charter member of the Sigma Delta Fsl sorority, now the Kappa Alpha Theta. The Spokane paper says: "Richard T. Hargreaves Is a modest man and cannot be induced to talk about him self. But the truth will out, especially in these days of Sunday newspapers, and more especially if the story hap pens to be of a man of action. First of all Mr. Hargreaves is a self made man. nis career xrom youin oeing al most as checkered and interesting as the proverbial rise of the corporation manager from the humble position of office boy. Mr. Hargreaves for a whUp clerked in a dry goods store. R. T. Hargreaves. punched cattle in Kansas, went to col lege (he worked bis way thru) and emerged, with a B. A. to his name and a Phi Beta Kappa key on his watch chain. "What he had done since he came here is a matter of common knowl edge. North Central high school is a monument to his genius, industry and rugged character. North Central is shot thru with his personality. That is why there is so much doing all the time. North Central Is not a perfect plant, but It pays almost top notch dividends on the Investment made. "But that is not all. Mr. Hargreaves has achieved a state wide reputation for himself and his school, and is well on his way to winning national recog nition among educators of the north west. The honors conferred on him by the National Education association attest to that. In spite of It all how ever, in the language of one of the boys, Mr. Hargreaves Is a 'regular fel low. And rn the easy but expressive parlance of the high school boy, Mr. Richard T. Hargreaves is 'some prin cipal.' "Mrs. Richard T. Hargreaves is at the head of the Red Cross work done by the pupils of the North Central high school. The girls of the school have completed 1.800 sewing articles '3 -v (AJtAEW too HEAR.

As a result of their diligence, 285 sweaters, S3 mufflers, 5 helmets, 50 pairs of socks and 70 pairs of wrist lets have been completed." J. JL M. Tho dinner conversation In a well known family the other evening was "Letters From a Living Dead Man." and a young girl at the table said, "Oh, no one believes that come-back after you're dead stuff but Spiritualists and second thoughters." I suppose she meant to say New Thoughters. w "The cable containing new of Mrs. Raymond Brown's coming was a happy surprise to us," is the word from Miss Florence B. Kober, to the headquarters cf the National Amer ican Woman Suffrage Association, which has sent Mra Brown to France to look after its hospitals there. "It was -the logical thing to do to send some one of Mrs. Brown's executive ability." Miss Kober is acting; as radiographer and nurse's aid in the Women's Over sea Hospitals' ur.lb for French refu gees, near Bordeaux. France, which is supported by the suffragists. She re ports that the buildings, now under way, are being erected by German prisoners. "There is not one doctor tn a civil Ian group of twelve or fourteen thou sand people," Is another outstanding statement in this letter. This doctor less town is Mont-de-Marsan. which was first designated as the spot for the Women's Oversea Hospitals to es tablish their new hospital building. "We went to Mont-de-Marsan," says Miss Kober, "but found it not a suitable place. It is the capital city of the department of Landes, and no refugees were to be quartered there. The prefet referred us to Dax and. accordingly, we investigated that as a site. Here we found, because it was a fashionable hot springs resort, that but a comparatively small number of refugees would be quartered not enough to warrant the establishment of a hospital, such as ou -s was to be. Then the prefet suggested Labou beyre. "This latter place is the one in which we will permanently be estab lished, taking in the surrounding small towns and the larger ones of abres, Rocquefort, Mont-de-Marsan (no doc tor in this city of 13,000 or 14,000 people) and Dax, as 'dispensary towns. Laboubeyre is small Just a village but it is expected to place several thousand refugees under our care here. "The mayor, M. Bacon, is most cor dial and interested and has given us a site on his own property for the houses of our personnel." The Topeka committee, of which Miss Helen Estey is chairman, has raised in the neighborhood of $1,000 towards this overseas hospital fund. The new letter Just received from the Woman's Committee Cohncil of National Defense announces that an army school of nurses, under the di rection of the army medical depart ment, has been created, and branch training schools will be established in many of the military hospitals of the United States. It is proposed to admit young women between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five years, who have advantage of a high school edu cation or its equivalent. The train in e- will be similar to that given in the oesi nospitai training schools. This not only offers an excellent training, but also the opportunity of service which is so earnestly sought by the women of the country. THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE. Dear S. R.: Wasn't it lust wonderful the way the Topeka people respond ed to the flower sale which the women of canteen committe of the Red Cross held last Saturday? To think of mak ing 32,150 clear money on a flower sale. Jim Hayes certainly made a big nit with the Red cross workers by his generosity. Had you heard that one team sold S500 worth that day. One man paid 325 for a single rose, and to his wife, too. The girls who sold flowers at. one of the stations spotted a widower who is one of the best sports in Topeka, and each of the six girls pinned a rose on him. When they had him decorated to the limit, every one of them stood with an extended palm. Yes, of course, he paid liberally for each flower, for who could resist these pretty 18-year-old girls? It was something for the town to be proud of the way some of our Topeka men played golf last week in Kansas City. Both Frank Griggs and Fat Campbell defeated two of the cham pions and Mr. Griggs almost came out the victor of the whole tournament. They say that the Rotary club mem bers had one big, hilarious time at their convention in Kansas City last week. One. feature of the banquet given for them was the order of six thousand pots of beans, furnished by the Rotarians of Boston. The people who lived around the hotels down town say that they didn't get one night's sleep all the time they were in Kansas City. The Rotarians from three of the towns took bands and these together with all other kinds of parades kept things lively until the "wee small hours" every night. One night (of course no Topeka man was in this) a number of the Ro tarians relieved the traffic policemen of their duties and also of their unl MY cOSTOMARV J I AbMIRAL y x.-"l" i I AtOfc.

Who is the Topeka girl who every one says was married to her soldier, boy fiance before his departure for France Wasn't it heartless of the Topeka boy in France to write that a boy from our town had secretly married a beautiful French maiden and then not to tell who it was, but merely to add that his parents didn't know a thing about it, insinuating that his parents were well known people here?

Taffeta Runs Along With Foulard as a Material That Can Be Utilised In Pleasing Ways in the Summer. New York. The history of taffeta Is not important, but if written up, it would begin with the earliest fabrics and would show itself threading its way, like a shuttle, in and out of the centuries. It is liked and it is disliked; it is takea up by the mass and denied by the exclusives; it is offered at a high price by tho great dressmakers, and it can be bought for ten dollars from the window peg of a small, ready-to-wear shop. s It does not een have the steady friends that serge and satin continue to keep in their train and yet. it rare ly leaves us for more than a season and always find sufficient buyers to give it a good reason for being kept on the market. Used This Season for Economy. There is every reason to believe that it will be widely used for several months to come, despite the .prejudice against it on the part of, certain sec tors of well dressed vjmen. It Is psoduced in America in great quantities and in good colorings. Now that we have achieved so much in the way of dyeing; now that we have real ly learned how to put color into fabric so that it will not fade or wash out, we should join hand with the British in standing upright on our feet in this department of commerce. It is alleged that we will never need any more German dyes. If the war teaches us nothing else but the utiliza tion of our resources, it will do much and the ability to make good dye, to produce good faorlcs and to rly on ourselves for a vast amount of clever clothing are three of the measures of self-protection that have been perfect ed since taffeta and foulard, as well Service frock of blue taffeta, with wide sash tied in a bow at back.

Per haps we will arrange for a big busi ness in fabrics with the rest of the world. Australia and South America have already placed their orders here. Japan and China sre asking for much of our material. England can use it, and there is a vision among the com mercialists that we will be the dis tributing center for the greater part of the materials of the world. We produce taffeta; therefore, we are going to use it this summer. The dressmak jrs have Joined with the man ufacturers in a resolve to make allur ing frocks of it, and women know that it is cooler than serge and more re liable than gingham, linen or organdy. The Combination of Blue and Beige. There are braided, black taffeta cuirass blouses to wear with separate. pleated beige skirts of dark blue serge. There are Joffre blue taffeta blouses also made on the straight, slim line from snoulder to hip. which are braid ed with white satin and worn with white homespun and serge skirts There are gowns of black taffeta loosely girdled at the waist with Her cules braid, and there are evening gowns of taffeta trimmed with bead roses, with a high decolletage formed by capes of colored tuUe. xne sketcn snows a blue tarreta gown which is offered as a service frock for the summer.

THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by ANNE KITTBNHOTJSB Making Oar Houses TroptcaL It really does seem as if to within a decade or so ago all our city and town houses, except In the extreme south of the country, were made with a complete disregard of the fact that altho for one season of the year we are frozen in ice and snow, for an other we are dipped into the sun and climate of the tropics. Most Ameri can houses save in climes that are warm, all the year round have until recently been adapted to frigid zones. Their architecture is entirely suitable for the few extremely cold months.. It is suitable for Iceland and Labrador. But it is not at all suited for the warm and hot seasons. Ideally speaking, of course.-the fam Hies that lived in those frigid zone houses, all migrated on the first of June to seashore or mountain all save perhaps the wage-earning, bread gaining male of the family, who sweltered on all alone in the frigid zone nouse wnere stray breezes of July and August are as successfully excluded as boisterous breezes of Jan uary and February. Now the problem has n resented It self to us and has been very well met by domestic architects of mak ing a house that shall be habitable in both summer and winter. Instead of a town house and a summer cottage nowadays, we like to have a suburban house where we can at least be com fortable all the year round or a town house where we may manage to breathe during the warm months when we happen to find that It is con venient to stay in town in summer. The main thing to make the house do for warm weather is to have more and larger windows, and these win dows, ot course, must be fitted well enough to withstand winter winds. This is not an impossible problem at all and we are finding out that often in a southern room these enlarged windows serve the purpose of letting in a flood of sunshine in winter that adds to the cheer and warmth in cold weather. Plenty of porches, too, that In the summer may be used as outdoor liv ing, eating and sleeping rooms, and in winter may be enclosed In glass for sun rooms, are another advantage in tne nouse that Is to serve for both hot and cold weather comfort Of course, these porches must be made over a regular cellar or heavy brick or cement foundation in order to keep the cold out In winter.

MART JANE: It is not necessary nowadays for a hostess to urge a caller to- come again. Her cordiality, and her pronpt return of the visit, imply her wish for a repetition of the call. Individuality should be cultivated in all things; and all cut-and-drled say ings are going out of fashion.

A bowl halfful of water and placed upon a plate covered with a doily, is set be fore each guest. Often an extra place ts not provided for the fruit, in which case the guest lifts the bowl and the doily, and setting them to side, uses the plate for the fruit. After the fruit is finished, the bowl is drawn close, and the fingers are dipped in the wat er and wiped on the napkin.

Veteran auctioneers and those the new school who pride themselves on their ability to realize what they call the "high dollar" Vers pat to shame at Camp Funston last week by Capt. C. W. Robinson, head of the reclamation division of the camp quartermaster detachment. On Thurs day Captain Robinson staged a public auction of subsistence stores which he hail re claimed from abandoned messes of the camD. The crowd was not ei-Mter In numbers than the reclamation division had been led to expect. However, Captain Rob tnenn who acted as auctioneer, got more than the "high dollar" for everything he sold, according 10 mm sergeants and others who attended the sale. It was the first public auction held t ramn lTiintrnn. But Caotain Robln- son didn't open the ceremonies with any speech about the scarcity of food, the high quality of that handled by Captain Windle's subsistence division, nor about the need for money In Lieu tenant Burson's finance division. In ikor mnrila. CnDtain Robinson didn't follow the precedent of the old and new schools of auctioneers. Instead, one of the privates of his division opened an Ice box and brought Out nf a clatl nf iSRtlfi baCOO.

Then the bids rose quickly, and nallv the piece of bacon was sold, "lut it was not "knocked down' until Cantain Robinson said in a fine voice: 'Once, is $1.75 vour last bid? twice, Is $1.75 your last bid? Third and last. Is 1.75 all you will pay? Sold." Cans of salmon which are sold to messes of the camp by the vamp quar termaster commissary at 15 cents each hrmisrht 19 rents a can. Flour, which sells at the commissary at $5.30 per hundredweight, sold at the auction for $9.10 per hundredweight, even tho some of it had been moistened acci dentally. And sugar, which Is quoted at the commissary at $7.30 per hun dredweight, brought $8.10 and more a sack. Cheese, tomato sauce,, baking powder. spices, flavoring extract, canned tomatoes, soap, vinegar and the dozens of other subsistence arti cles offered were also sold in the same manner at prices higher than those prevailing at the commissary. "Why," said one mess sergeant, who had come to buy some bargains, but who was not "knocked down" a thine by Captain Robinson, "I bellevo the commissary at Funston would make a quarter of a million dollars if It sold Its stock at those prices." Any new soldier or the parents of the young men in the army who won der how the men are rationed at Camp Funston at 45.76 cents a day, aa In the past month, would have been en lightened by attending the reclama tion division auction. The food sold was not in as good condition aa that In the warehouses of the subsistence division, but it sold at much higher prices than those upon which the cost of the rations at Funston are based. Why? Because the government buys enormous supplies at very low prices compared with the quotations prevail ing in the markets patronized by the civilian population. Practically everything was sold to civilians. Including the representative of a wholesale grocery at Manhattan. The mess sergeants who came to buy would, of course, have been foolish to pay higher prices than those quoted by the subsistence division. Aid if the mess sergeants found it necessary "to pay the prices Captain Robinson obtained, the cost of rationing a sol dier at Funston one day would jump to about $1 instead of remaining around 45.7 cents. Captain Robinson will soon hold an other auction. It is rumored. This aale will be staged under a tent In the re clamation yards on. the eastern side of Camp Funston, facing Army City, where the auction of the past week was held. Aspiring auctioneers seek ing pointers will not be refused admis sion so long as they do not interfere with bidders. Mothers, brothers and sweethearts of the men of the camp quartermaster detachment should heed carefully bul letin No. 20 issued by Lieut. W. I. Rucker, executive officer. This bul letin calls attention to the delay and difficulty experienced in the dlstrlbu tlon of mall to the men In the various barracks of the quartermaster detach, ment. Lieutenant Rucker suggests the following model for addressing the men: John Doe. Q. M. C. Detachment, Barracks 635, Camp Funston. Kan. "All men of the camp quartermaster detachment," the bulletin concludes, "will comply with the above Instruc tions and will not have their mall ad dressed In care of any warehouse or office, but In care of their barracks." So. mothers, brothers andv sweet hearts, you will help your loved ones comply with an order or the executive officer and obtain more prompt ae There are people who pray and are willing to say What is meant by the dogs of war; And they heave a big sigh, and starting to cry They rave of pain and of sore. And they tell of the dead, of those who are bled In a fieldi of slime and of blood; Then they talk of the rain (called the soldier's bane), Of the sleet, the snow and the mud. "Oh, the horror," they cry; "Oh, the terror," they sigh; And wipe a tear from their face; "Oh, the men who are dead, Oh, the men who are fled And gone to their resting place." But a soldier, will say and bet his whole pay That those aren't the dogs of war. He'll tell you a tale (and let no one rail) That explains them a great deal more. In times of peace, when all wars cease. A fair is a lovely place; For a "hot-dog" stand, with out-stretched hand. There's always a. "hot" foot race. When all wars cease there's the dogs of peacel And we answer, we answer the call. We eat all we. can from the hot roasting pan. For we want them, we want them all. But here is the side that I'm not going to hide; 'Tls of dogs of war that I telL At morning we eat them, at dinner we eat them, There's no letting up from this hell. My stomach Is full of them, my voice the echo of them, My eyes see them at morn and at night: Sow today I chewed them and tomorrow I'll chew them. And In dreams they'll give me a fright. The dogs of war make the appetite sore. And we know them by smell and by bark; We know them by sunlight, know them without light. We even know them in the dark. "Oh, the horror," I cry; "Oh, the terror," I sigh; But wipe no tear front my face; "Oh, the dogs that are dead Oh, the dogs that are fled, No one knows or can tell to what place." For the bugle's sound that sent us around To eat in the dining hall Is heard no more in times of war; 'Tis the dogs of war that call. For the bugle's dead, and In its stead We're called to pork and to bean By the bark and the squeal of something that's real 'Tis the dogs of war that I mean.

Alex Lynch, the soldier detailed to handle the mail, is working faithfully, but it seems many who write quarter master men expect him to know the address of each of the 1,000 memburs of the detachment. All quartermas ter men will obtain their mail more promptly If everybody is more careful in addressing the letters and cards, for delaying in handling one letter means delay for all the mail. "Is Lieutenant Burg In?" a visitor Inquired In the camp utilities office of warehouse 8. "No," a sergeant answered, "but Captain Burg is here." Lieutenant Burg was recently pro moted to a captaincy. The same pro motion came to Lieutenant Ray. Both have received many congratulations. Quartermaster Bergt. A. J. Krum of missionary forces at Camp Funston.

In this way, the ser geant is weaning soldiers not already on prohibition rolls from alcoholic drinks, which is missionary work. Ser geant Krum Is so optimistic; over his missionary endeavors that those who hear him discuss that work are led to believe that some day the entire Amusement Zone at Camp Funston will find a demand only for milk. Several privates are emulating the ex ample of Quartermaster Sergeant Krum. yTmlca. NO. 8 Some fine Bible classes were organ ized at No. 8 last week. Mr. Trope gave a pleasing program of maglo on Monday evening. The audience was greatly pleased with the entertainment. Rabbi Thurman held" a service at our building Friday evening and gave a fine talk on "The Faith of the American soldier." We put up five hanging baskets last week that add much to the appearance of our buildings. We regret -very much to announce the going of 'Geo. Pullman, our re ligious secretary. He applied for transfer sometime ago to a camp nearer his home. His application was approved and he will leave June 29 for the Great Lakes nava) training station, near Chicago. He has been a real man, being especially equipped for organization. His genial nature and sincerity have won' favor with every secretary on the staff. Our best wishes go with him to his new field where we know he will accomplish much good. We have an athletic secretary now In the person of J. B. Llndsley of Hastings. Nebr. He was kept very busy his first day here working with the Incoming troops at T No. 5. WELFAREJYORK Y. M. C. A. and K. of C. Men Busy With New Recruits. Take Charge of Men While They Are Going Thru Mill. If a resident of the sunny south had arrived at the east end of Camp Fun ston any time last week he would probably have thought, from the sound of things, that he had made a mistake and would have taken a train back home. Negro melodies, shouts and laughter made It impossible for even the hard worked doctors and orderlies at the receiving station to feel tired or blue. Recruits Arrive. Of the negro recruits who arrived at Camp Funston during the week, a large proportion were held in tempo rary barracks for a day and night, which gave the Yand K. of C. men an excellent opportunity to organise them for games, social gatherings and reli gious meetings. In this work prac tically all the Y building staffs, as well as the headquarters staff, freely re sponded to the calls for aid from No. 5, and the Knights of Columbus kept their staff men busy meeting and helping organize -the recruits, while the Red Cross and Jewish welfare board sent representatives to help outl A Welfare Work. The welfare work at the receiving station Is under the general direction of Chaplain Reese, who has appointed the executive secretary of Y No. 5 his adjutant, placing all of this work un der the management of Y 5 and K. of C. No. 2. The work iivbrlef consists in meeting and greeting the men as they leave the trains and go to temporary barracks, assemble them -in mass meetiijgs before they go to the receiv ing station, tell them about the work of the welfare organizations in camp, instruct them in the first things they need to know as soldiers, supply them with writing material, help write their letters, answer questions and meet emergencies. When they are held in barracks for even a few hours before going to the receiving station for ex amination they are organized for mass athletics, social gatherings or religious meetings. On Sunday evening four large religious meetings were in prog ress at one time one in the Y and three in barracks. On Saturday it was estimated that fully a thousand men took part in mass athletic games. The popular games are push ball, tug of war and human burden races. One barracks pitted acainst another af fords sufficient incentive to do their best, even when the temperature is above 100 in the shade (and no shade).

Use Railroads, Interurban and Autos in Getting to Funston. TO SEE HOW SOLDIERS LIVE First. Stop Is Hostess House, Then Information Bureau. The Folks Enjoy Visit to Bar racks Where "Boy" LiTes. BY 6ERGT. H. O. ENYVEN. "Mas, pas and sweethearts" as well as "mothers, fathers and sweethearts" flock to Camp Funston on visitors day to see their "soldier boy" who Is a member of the most democratic army on earth, to find out how he Is. h,ow much weight he has gained or lost as the case may be, and above all to find out the conditions under which he Is living in his new life. These visitors come from near and far, and use all available modes of transportation, the railroads, Inter urban lines and the automobiles. They arrive early in the morning and stay until the camp is closed to them. The first place they stop Is usually at the hostess house, where they can get into telephone communication with their "boy." The hostess house is on the north side of camp, at the foot of a bill, and is In the sweep of every breeze that blowa Stop at Information Bureau. The second stop made by the visi tors is the information office, where they seek a pass admitting them to camp and to see the quarters of the soldiers. This is quite an exciting moment for the visitors, and In some cases they want to tell the military the entire history of their "boy" before leaving, while others don't want to say as much as is necessary for them to obtain a pass. After the, formality of securing a pass has been completed, the visitors then inquire the direction to the bar racks of the soldier. These are cheer fully given and then party after party depart, going la .as many different di rections to the several "homes", where the boys live, l Aak Man Questions. Due to the unfamiliarity with the contour of the camp, all the civilians usually have to ask several persona on the way how to get there and most of the visitors seem to think that every soldier they meet on the streets thru camp must know their "boj" evidently not thinking that this is a vast community where it -is possible to know but a very few persons. At last they arrive at the barracks where the lad lives. They stop In the orderly room, the place where the commanding officer of the company has his office, and ask for the "boy." The "top cutter," meaning the top sergeant, then sends an orderly to get the "boy," who comes in with a grin on his fa. e from ear to ear and all dressed up like a sore finger. Greet ings are passed. Sea How "Boys" live). The next step In entertaining the visitors is to take them to the' bunk where the "boy" sleeps. They see an" iron cot, comfortable springs, a couple of blankets, a couple of com forters and usually a wooden box where his "all" is kept. These "boxes are about threa or four feet long, about a foot and a half across and about a foot deep. Tbey carry every thing that is possessed by ..he lad. The famous barracks bag that la is sued to every soldier is next to be" In spected. These bags are made of a rough heavy blue material, atrons and durable. Whenever a soldier moves, his baggage Is packed in his bag, and it is not an uncommon sight to see a squad of soldiers packing their belongings from one barracks to another In the barracks bag. The In spection passes on to the uniforms, the shoes and the other various articles of apparel that are issued, lnoluding the gun and bayone-. Inspect Mesa Kits. In most cases after the Inspection, which, also includes the mess kit of the soldier, the family will sit in the barracks and chat for a couple of hours or will take a stroll thru the camp. Every barracks is put in spick and span condition prior to visitors' day and everything presents an excellent appearance. Pinner hour comes and the soldier proudly takes the family into the bar racks mess hall, a large hall with smooth boards for tables and scats, for this meal. The best of lood is served on visitors' day and many of the com panies have fried chicken, with all veg etables that are appropriate to accom pany that dish, and -a dessert of ice cream and cake. The family is fur nished. In many cases, aluminum mess kits which consists of a meat platter, a lid, which fits tightly over the plat ter, knife, fork and spoon and a cup. The kit is a compact affair and at the same time sufficiently large to handle the huge quantities of food that the soldiers eat. Parents Go Thru Camp. The afternoon is spent in taking the parents thru camp. The "Zone" as it Is known in camp Is one of the chief attractiona This is the place where the soldier spends his pay. Everything that a soldier needs in the way of equipment, shaving materials, soap, and a large variety of articles are sold, including nick naeks of every descrip tion. The "Zone" also has two thea ters and a picture show.- One of the theaters runs to vaudeville and the other to musical comedy. They Visit' Y Buildings. It would not be fair to print an GEN.

There are a number of Y buildings in camp, one for each of the separate building units. These are places where the soldier gets writing paper on which they send thousands of letters home. These are also places where he can spend a pleasant even ing listening to instructive lectures, special musical programs or to the music of a vlctrola. He is entirely at home in these soldiers' clubs. He smokes there a hen he pleases, he can have a wide selection of reading mat ter, the daily newspapers, the current magazines and many novels. The Ys also sell stamps and take care of the letters a.'ter they have been addressed. When a complete tour of the "boy's" Y has been macje the family will go thru the. military reservation and usually to Fort Riley which is some distance to the southwest of Camp Funston proper. Here is where the base hospital is located and where the medics have their stronghold. Port Riley is as prefer a spot as a person can want to see. The streets are curved enough to break the monotony and the shade trees with the green grass underneath is enough to cans a very busy man to want to stop and rest in the quiet cool shade. Army City of Great Interest. Army City is another place where J. PERSHING i alia" f...--..; General John J. Pershing arrived in France as the the soldier must take his family. This is a small town which is a result of the cantonment, and is adjacent to the camp. The city is an incongruous mass of stores and places of amuse ment, with a number of pretty homes. Some of the visitors also go as far as Junction City and Manhattan, but after the family has made the trip thru the camp it is nearing time for the parents and sweethearts to leave. Their "boy" will give mother a hasty kiss, dad-a firm handshake and to sweetheart a but that's telling and not fair. "Be sure and write often." are the last words said by either side of the happy group as the train, a- to or interurban departs from camp, and the "boy" goes to his barracks to eream pleasant dreams Intermlnrled with thoughts of the morrow's drill.

IT WAS HEROIC WORK Cesult of Bald Deserter Brought to Funston. Capture Considered One of Merriest In Army Annals. That any attempt to evade the se lective draft or to desert from the United States army, is very unwise, was demonstrated this week by army officer in the capture of Maud Hil ton, a dese-ter from the national army, who has held authorities of Barry county, Missouri, at bay for montha He was captured early Sun day morning by Capt. C. E. Garrison of Camp Funston In a spectacular dash Into the heart of the Oxark mountain feud country, near Cass vllle. Mo. Deserted From Field Artillery. Hilton deserted from the 142 Field artillery several months ago. Retir ing to his home In the Ozark hill and armed to the teeth, he defied capture. Twice unsuccessful attempts to arrest him were made by the local author!. ties, who returned with the messsge that a battle to the death would be the result of any further attempt to Invade the mountainous region where he and his supporters held forth. Caused Much Unrest. In the Ozark section, nearly every family haa its representative In the service and much dissatisfaction wss reported because of Hilton's appar ently successful resistance. Several otKer desert jra and draft registers were foUowInt; example. -"Captain Garrison anoT Sergt. Earl Sipple were assigned to go to Barry county and capture Hilton. Arriving in Caasville some days ago, the real purpose of their visit was disguised and arrangements for the raid made quietly. Barry county was In a state of unrest because of the actlJtles of Hilton and defla from the hllTs were rumored on every hand. "I'll ne er be taken alive," he. was quoted as saying. A threat that even if Hilton were captured his frienda would never let him be taken from the hills was also heard and the force wjth him was variously estimated from three to half a dozen, all armed with rifles, shotguns and revolvers. Left After Dark. Leaving Caasville after dark on Sat. urday night, a party consisting of Cap. tain Garrison. Sergeant Sipple, two deputy sheriffs, and a correspondent from the Union Paclfie Press bureau at Funston started for the northeast portion of the country, where Hilton was reported living with his father-in-law, George Woodhouse. Leaving their machine on the far side of a rldgtf, the section was approached on foot. Wide detours were made to avoid cabins of possible friends who might spread the alarm. Telephone wires were cut to prevent warning reaching Hilton. House Was Surrounded. At an early hour on Sunday mora, lng the house was surrounded, each man taking a fixed post to prevent not only escapes, but the arrival of any reinforcements. Realizing that anything but quick action would re. suit in the threatened bloody clash. Captain Garrison, ordering his men to only shoot If necessary, in full uni form and a clear mark In the bril liant moonlight, walked a hundred feet across the yard up to the door, burst It open and called to Hilton to surrender. He found nothing but the women and children of the iwo fami lies downstairs, Hilton, Woodhouse and Jack Garner, a draft evader, being barricaded above, Woodhouse was the first to appear, dashing down the stairs armed with a repeating shot, gun. Quick Work Wins. "Some one Is going to get killed," he remarked, but was quickly covered and disarmed by Garrison. Hilton, out gamed and with every avenue of es. cape covered by the guns of the party, finally threw up his hands and cam down the stairs. The prisoners were spirited out be fore daybreak by automobile before the threatened attempt at rescue could be made, the only stops taken belne; several to surround and search other houses for another deserter reputed to be in the neighborhood. Hilton was brought to Camp Fun. ston Monday night by Captain Garri son and Sergeant 8iprle. and wee turned over to the military police ts await his trial.

CAPITALS The long and narrow PLAINS OF THE 8AOXE AND THE RHONE owe their importance to the manufactur ing; center of Lyons, and to the lines of communication which follow this route from northern France to the Mediterranean. The plains of the Eaone are primarily agricultural, with hot summers and fairly long and cold winters. The vine, wheat, corn, cat tle and sheep are the important prod ucts. Lyons, at the southern end of the Saone plains, is an Important commercial center, because it is at the Junction of the Eaone, the npper Rhone and the lower Rhone routes, and so does business with the north, the east and the south. Lyons also Is an Important manufacturing cen ter, using the silk raised in southern France and northern Italy to make the fabrics for which France Is noted the world over. The valley of the Rhone is a narrow, corridor-like de pression in which flows a stream too wift to be of much use for naviga tion. But though the stream is of little value as a highway, the valley has been and still is of the greatest importance as a comparatively easy passageway, hemmed in on one side by the Alps and on the other by the Central Plateau. In the remote past the Phoenicians penetrated via the Rhone valley into Gaul. Later, Med iterranean civilization, and still later, Christianity, entered France by this route. Today the northern regions of France have contact with the Medi terranean part of France by way of this valley. The important railway from Paris to Lyons and Marseilles fallows this line. THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION ef France is a unit clearly marked off by the Alps and the Central Plateau on the north and by the sea from which it takes its name on the south- Its physical characteristics are differ ent from those of any other part of France and consequently the eco nomic activities of the people are in large part different from those of the people of the rest of France. The climate is characterized by hot and dry summers, and by mild winters with a moderate amount of rainfall, This winter rain comes for the most part in heavy showers, so that most of the weather is snnny. Strong, hot. south winds (sirocco) blow at times in the summer, and In winter there occasionally are boisterous and eold winds (mistral) from the neigh boring mountains. The streams are mall for most of the year, but at the times of heavy rains they become rag ing torrents. Forests and grass-land are rare. The dominant form of na tive vegetation is a thicket composed ef evergreen oaks, cypress. Juniper and myrtle. The typical cultivated 8,000 MORE MOTOR TRUCKS Orders for 8,000 motor trucks for the use of the United States Army have been placed by the Motor Trans port Service. These trucks, designa ted as "Class B Standard," will have a capacity of from three to five tons. They will be distributed as needed through the various branches of the army. Ten thousand of these Class B trucks had previously been ordered and are now in process of mannfae jtre and delivery. ing the scenes mentioned, in one ot the bare wooden barracks at Camp Funston. It was a group of darkles recruited from the last contingent of negroes to arrive at Camp Funston and they played their various instruments In the rhythm that only a darky can obtain. "My Old Kentucky Home," "Way Down Upon the Suwanee Riber," and other old familiar. tunes of the pretty southland were intermingled with -the more popular airs of "Over There," "The Missouri Waltz" and various "Jazz Selections." Bunks were pushed out of the way and the soldiers "twoed" off and danced the latent dances as well as some of the older dances. Including the two step and the waltz. The darky impromptu band was ac companied by a group of singers who furnished the soldiers with some real negro melodies. Harmony was one of the features of the evening and In many of the songs the soldiers would join in the chorus. As time approached for "Taps" to be l!an the band struck up "Home Sweet Home" and the final waltz of the evening brought visions of "home" as the other southern melodies had brought visions of the various parts of the country which had given rise to the songs. The negroes were all in civilian clothes, not having been sent thru the receiving station. One of the big features at the Zone cafe is the lady entertainers direct from the Orpheum circuit, in high class singing numbers. Manager George Fischer added this attraction last week.

A. s i plants are the vine, orange, olive and lemon, the first deep-rooted, the oth ers with leathery, evergreen leaves. and all well adapted to the long, hot. dry summer. Because of this type of summer and of the consequent poor quality of the pastures, cattle are rare, but sheep are fairly numerous. In general the Mediterranean re gion of France seems to be an area little favored by nature, except that it borders on that sea which was for so long a time the center of the civ ilized world, and which today plays an important part in commerce. As a re sult ot this position, the Mediterra nean region of France has played a considerable part in the history of the country. It is here that the Phoeni cians, the Greeks and the Romans touched France, founded cities and introduced their civilizations. Mar seilles, near the mouth of the Rhone, commands a large commerce between northern France and the countries bordering the Mediterranean, as well as with the Far East. Of especial interest at the present time is the character ot the country in eastern and northeastern France, as affecting the campaigns ot the war. The forested mountains ot the Vosges have proved a barrier to the Germans. The rough country of Lorraine has been scarcely less difficult for them. In this region there are several con centric belts of alternating uplands and lowlands, with a steep slope at the eastern margin of each upland. These steep slopes or scarps, each ot which overlooks a lowland lying be tween it and the next upland to the east, make defense easy for the French and offense difficult for the Germans. The Ardennes Plateau, most ot which lies in Germany, Lux emburg and southern Belgium, has blocked any movement of German ar mies into France except by way of two valley routes, the Moselle and the Mense. both of which valleys lie well towards the southern and northern borders ot the plateau. Across the plains of the northern half of Belgium and of northern France, in contrast to all the country southward as far as the Swiss border, movement of an army is relatively easy, so far as natural obstacles go. Thus it was that the main German in vasion of France took place in the north, even though this meant the violation of the neutrality ot Bel glum.

A. workers now being recruited for service in American camps and over seas must come from the middle west ern states, according to advices re ceived here today by I. G. McCor mack, general secretary of the Army Young Men's Christian association. The fifteen states stretching from Ohio to Colorado and from the Canadian line to Kentucky, and comprising what Is known aa the central military de partment, are asked by the national war work council of the Y. M. C. A. in New York to contribute BOO men and 125 women per month for the next three months. Half of these will be used n the home camps. The others will Bee service with the troops in France. England and Italy. Y. M. C. A. secretaries and officials of this state and city are making an effort to meet the quota placed upon them for men and women to carry forward the Red Triangle program among- the soldiers. The states in the central department and the number of men they have been asked to supply are as follows: Colorado, 25: Indiana, 40; Kansas. 40; Michigan, 40; Missouri, 40; North Dakota, 10: Ohio, 75: Illinois, 75, Iowa, 40; Kentucky, 25; Minnesota. 80; Nebraska, 25; South Dakota, 10; Wisconsin, 30. The same proportions will be fol lowed in the work of recruiting women for overseas work among the troops. During the month of May the cen ONE CENT A MILE The United States Railroad Ad ministration authorizes the fol lowing: Director General McAdoo, realiz ing that the payment of the rail railroad fare means a serious hardship to our soldiers and sail ors who desire to visit their homes before going overseas, has ordered that as soon as necessary details can be completed soldiers and sail ors of the United States forces, when fnrlonghed and traveling at their own expense, will be granted a rate of approximately one cent per mile. This fare will be avail able on delivery to ticket agents of certificates signed by command ing officers. Such certificate of standard form will be prepared and distributed with the utmost promptness. "YANKS" FAST ACQUIRING TRENCH VERNACULAR According to the stories told by Americans recently returned from Europe, the "Yanks," as the soldiers prefer to style themselves, are rap idly picking up the slang used by the British Tommies in the war zone, and appear to like it. "Fed up" is one of the favorite ex pressions, and is used to depict the disgust ot the speaker with the world in general or any subject in particular, such as oatmeal porridge for 100 days straight or 100 days' continuous rain. Another expression adopted by the American troops abroad is "wang ling." To "wangle" is to wheedle something out ot a person which he would not voluntarily give. For ex ample, a Tommy says to his mates in the trench: "I wangled an extra tot of rum today from, the canteen ser geant," or "The sergeant major want ed to give me a fatigue job, but I wangled it all right," When a sol dier succeeds in wangling something out of his superiors he tells his chums that he "clicked." The term "wash out," used by the aviators, has been generally adopted by the Tommies to describe something that has to be done all over again. "A defense bar rage" is to cover a mate in his ab sence for some fanlt that he has com mitted, and a "barrage attack" is to defend a friend when he is attacked in force. The word "Cheeryo," as a greeting or a short toast, has been adopted by the American naval offi cers and men in Europe. TO GET "THE NEEDLE" Soldiers in training in the camps and cantonments may find some crumb of comfort in the fact that civilian employees of the government are to be given "The Needle." For the protection of the health of work ers in shipyards and munition plants, the United States Public Health Serv ice has been instructed to give anti typhoid innoculations without charge. "NO VICTORY Discussing the problem of the soldier and the way to victory, Gen eral Ferdinand Foch, commander-in-chief of the Allies armies, recently wrote as follows: "Modern warfare, to arrive at its end and to Impose its will on the enemy, recognizes only one means destruction of the enemy's organized forces. "War undertakes and prepares this destruction by battle which brings about the overthrow of the adversary, disorganizes his command, destroys his discipline and nullifies his units as far as their fighting power is concerned. "Our first axiom must be that com pletely i to achieve its object a battle must not be purely defensive. A purely defensive battle, even well conducted, does not result in a victor and a vanquished. It is simply a game that must be begun over again. "From this it is an obvious corol lary that an offensive, whether started at the beginning of an action or whether it follows the defensive, can only give results, and in conse quence must always be adopted at the finish. "To maintain our position is not synonymous with being victorious and even prepares for a defeat, if we remain where we are and do not pass to the offensive. To fix the direction of attack, to guard against the plans of the enemy and prevent him from carrying out the same manoeuvre, we must undertake to carry on and sus tain numerous combats, each with de termined aim. tral department personnel board passed a total of 62$ men and eight women for Y. M. C. A. work; overseas and 210 men for work in the camps in this country. "Four thousand men and women workers added to the Y. M. C. A. forces overseas before September 1 is the .new goal of the entire organiza tion, following the statement of Dr. John R. Mott, our general secretary," said Mr. McCormack. HE WAITED PATIENTLY

Took Junction City Colored Boy Ten Months to Get Into Army. Examined and accepted for military service at the time of the first draft call, ten months ago, David Redmond, a Junction City colored boy, has Just been inducted Into tne service. e is the first man of his race to be sent into the national army from that city. Redmond's number was in the top of the list, and last August he was exam ined and passed the physical tet. No orders for colored men from this coun ty were received, however, so wlxfr volunteers were called for to go to Quindaro, to take a mechanical train ing course at Western university, Red mond was accepted for this service. Tht first dance for soldiers In the new Community house at Manhattan was held Saturday night and was at tended by a crowd that taxed the ca pacity of the big, house. The new headquarters for soldiers is a beauti ful place and soldiers from this camp are urged to visit the Community house when in Manhattan. PERSHING URGES SOLDIERS TO WRITE HOME OFTEN The War Department has made' public a general order, issued recently by General Pershing encouraging members of the American expedi tionary forces to keep up correspon dence with their relatives and friends at home. The order said: "1. Duty to one's country does not end on the parade ground, nor even on the battlefield, but consists in doing everything in one's power to help win the war. To write home frequently and regularly, to keep in constant touch with family and friends, is one of the soldier's most important duties. Mothers and fathers will suffer if they do not hear often from sons fighting in France. In the present large companies it is not possible for officers to write let ters for their men and every man must do it for himself. "2. When no letters are received from overseas, the greatest distress is caused to those at home. They either feel that letters have been written and lost en route, or else they imagine all sorts of evils, such as sickness, wounds.- even death. Both are bad for the active militant spirit which every true American man and woman must possess if our army is to obtain the real victory that all so earnestly desired. "3. Every one In the United States -who has a son or brother in the American expeditionary forces is proud of him, is constantly thinking of him, is anxious to hear from him. Letters home will bring many letters in reply, and the closer home ties will have potent influence for good, both in France and the United States. All officers should realize this. fact, and both by encouraging their men and providing them with tire proper fa cilities, do everything in their power to interest them in this vital question of writing home." The Archbishop of York Pays High Tribute to United States The Most Reverend Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of York and Pri mate of England, who recently visited this country, said in a statement re garding his American tour: "A word needs to be spoken of dis appointments and delays. Our friends across the ocean are far more sensi tive to them than we. It is not any taunt that is needed, but rather in creased appreciation of the greatness and skill with which they had planned their help and the increasing measure with which their plans would be ful filled. "That great and generous people who received me with a warmth of welcome I shall never forget, are say ing to you: 'We are coming to stand by you till together we have vindica ted the peace and freedom of the world and secured it for our children. We say, 'It is hard to hold on, hurry up!' They reply: 'It is worth hold ing on; we are coming!' IN DEFENSE" "But since there remains no doubt that decisive attack is the very key stone of a battle, all other actions which make up a battle must be en visaged, considered, organized, pro vided with forces in the measure in which they will prepare, facilitate and guarantee development of a de cisive attack, characterized by its mass, its surprise, its speed, and for which, in consequence, it is essential that there shall be the maximum re serve force possible of troops of manoeuvre. The reserve that is to say the prepared bludgeon Is or ganized and kept care(ully instructed to execute the single act of battle from which results are expected, namely, the decisive attack. "Reserves must be husbanded with the most extreme parsimony so that the bludgeon may be strong enough to make the blow as violent as pos sible. Let loose at the finish without any lurking idea of saving them, with a well thought out plan for winning the battle at a point chosen and de termined, reserves are thrown in all together in an action surpassing in violence and energy all other phases of battle, an action with proper char acteristics surprise, mass and speed. All our forces really participate, either by preparing it or by carrying it out. "In this, our supreme aim, we must not be deceived by appearances. Al though theory fails when applied by feeble hands and when accessories obscure the main principle, history and reason show us that in battle there is a single argument which is worth while, namely, decisive attack, which is alone capable of assuring the desired result the overthrow of the adversary." The Marines In every successful military under taking, these two Important factors1 have their place: First, the spirit of the offensive; secondly, the offensive itself?. No less an authority than General Ferdinand Foch makes this state ment: "To maintain our position is not ynonymous with being victorious and even prepares for defeat, if we remain where we are and do not pass to the offensive. There re mains no doubt that decisive attack is the very keystone of a battle." Critics of the strategy of the great war have complained,that all of the contending forces on the side of the Allies, until the entrance of America, have soon lost "the spirit of the of fensive" and have settled down to trench warfare. They are pessimis tically speculating as to the time when American troopB will lose this spirit, If there is any one thing in Amer icans -that cannot be, killed it is en thusiasm; and enthusiasm is the par ent of this spirit of the offensive. The Americans will never lose their eagerness for the attack. When the Marines at Chateau Thierry surprised their foes by the determination of their advance they evidenced the kind of enthusiasm that is characteristic of all Americans and more intensely characteristic of the marines than of any other branch FOUL PLAY IN THE HOME STRETCH "A race between Hindenburg and Wilson" thus Lloyd George described the war situation. The race is in the home stretch and Wilson leads. Germany, despit i local protestations from the side lines has no hope of vic tory. The cheer leaders have done their work well but it is to no avail. The German people have been organized to cheer on occa sion. It is difficult for the bereaved and the half -starved to do so, but the cheer leaders carry pistols instead of megaphones! The people must cheer Hindenburg is beaten and he knows he Is beaten. He knows there is not even the remotest hope of ultimate victory. So, while he runs, he resorts to foul play. It is a trick as old as human nature. This is the explanation of the U-boat raids off tb.e Eastern coast of the United States. The German Kaiser scoffingly too late. The German newsrjaDers balked first by the delay necessary lack of transports. The German the very last. Then American soldiers went tives were surprised to see them in France. But the transports had been going back and forth negotiating the great transatlantic ferry with- safety. And the German leaders, baffled in their confusion as they felt they must explain to the patient public, said it did not matter how many American troops were landed Hindenburg would take care of them But the British and French official reports began to tell the story of American daring- and of American achievement. Thou sands of German soldiers, invalided home, began to describe the lighting qualities of the American troops and to tell the truth about the growing army from America. It was then that the U-boat ex pedient was decided upon. It was not intended to wreak any great damage upon American shipping; it was not believed that the U-boat could check the flow of American troons to France it was believed America would have to waters, ine decision was like tne language of German diplomatic notes "intended for home consumption." A few sinkings would be multiplied as they were reported to the German people. American defensive preparations would be pictured as panic and if perchance a troop transport were caught without its convoy, the unholy glee of the German militarists would cause the poor, half -starved population to drag out the frayed bunt ing and the few overworked church bells not yet commandeered to peal a new paeon of the already vanished hope. Instead of viewing with alarm the coming of the German sub marines, the American people understand fully the signifltance of their visitation. It is indeed a race between Hindenburg and Wilson. And Hindenburg, in the language of the athlete, is almost winded. WEEPING WILLIE The Imperial crocodile is at it again. This time he weeps for poor France. Says he, between sobs: "When I ee such horrors of war, rendering thousands of people homeless and converting flourishing stretches of the French country into hideous des erts, the thought is forced upon me, what Buffering and misery France might have spared herself and her people if the peace offer of December 12, 1916, had not been so criminally rejected." No week is complete without weep ing by the Kaiser. But no one be lieves his tears. He deceives no one but himself. .H s. o. s. In Europe food is so scarce it is acred. To waste it is sinful. A MILK FED ARMY Camp Funston Is Developing Milk Fed Soldiers. Milk Emporium on Zone Is Crowded WithJSoys in Khaki. BY SERGT. H. G. DENYVAN. Camp Funston is turning out a milk fed army of soldiers. With the In ception of the terrlfc hot weather, which is famous in Kansas, the sol diers who are stationed at Camp Fun ston have dev -ped a taste for sweet milk and are keeping old "bossy" busy to meet the demand. Two di.. s last week at least the temperature in the shade exceeded 100 and Monday of this week the same was true. Out in the sun. It is much hotter, and from the heat a demand for a thirst quenching drink has developed. On the Zone the milk emporiums, with their snow white cases and white ice boxes, are crowded with husky soldier boys having their evening drink. Li led up at the bar in the good old fashioned way they consume' huge quantities of milk. At one place on the Zone more than 100 cases of milk are sold during a warm evening. The various camp exchanges also sell milk and they do a flourishing busi ness all afternoon and each evening The milk is purchased by the sol diers and of course is in addition to the rations that the government so bounteously provides. The price is of the American military establish ment. Ja. i The Marine Corps Is recruited on enthusiasm. "First to Fight" is the slogan of their recruiting officers, and young men flock to the ranks because they want to get into action. It was some time before the Ma rine Corps was heard from in any large engagement abroad. The "sol diers of the sea" were not the first to be in' the fight, military authorities ordained otherwise. But they waited their time in impatience and, when opportunity offered did what they call their "darndest." The American people knew the Marines would distinguish them selves when they went into act inn They expected much from these fighters. They will keep on expect ing and they will not be disap pointed, for there are traditions in the Marine Corps that will have to be lived up to, and every man in the corps Knows it. Hear what Secretary Daniels aavs "There are no better fighters in the world than the Marines. You can't drown a Marine or you can't kill one.

DOES NOT LIKE MULES He Does Not Like "Hardtail" Army Transportation Problem. Many unofficial smiles have been caused in official places by a letter written by a rookie at Camp Funston in which he asks to be assigned to other duties than those at the school tor teamsters. "I aratemperamentally unfit to as sociate with mules." it declares. The recruit, whose name is not disclosed, was sent to the school some time ago to learn the psychology of the army mule, how to drive and care for them, and to fit him generally as chauffeur of an army supply wagon. He went, but- his effort, he declares In his let ter, was a failure. The mules were too much for him. He understood the ways of fickle women, he thought, but he found the fickleness of an army "hardtail" set a new standard. He could start the most stubborn Ford and knew where to find the emergency brake on any kind of car, but a missing cylinder on a cold morning was as naught to a refractory mule, and an emergency brake in muledom usually resulted in ka nice comfortable trip to the hospital. consequently tie asKed ror a transfer to a field of endeavor more suited to his capabilities.

Confessions Of A Conscript (This Is the fifth of a series of diary entries written by a yotra dm called from his civilian pursuits by the operation of the selective draft. The writer is Ted Wallace, a luxury-loving young man who, at the outset, has no settled convictions, except selfish ones, and who is transfonned by the purging process of war into a red-blooded patriot.) Sept. S. Tonight the city gave a send-off to the selected men. We were assem bled In the public square and were treated to three hours ot red-fire, ora tory and refreshments. I never saw such enthusiasm. Everyone seemed to think it was an honor for us to be called to snrve the country in war. I wish I felt dif ferently about it. I am convinced that the enthusiasm is real and I am convinced, too, that the fault is in myself. We heard the orators hark back to the days ot our forefathers and tell of the traditions that will in spire the American troops. One thing interested me very much it was the constant repetition of the statement that it is our war as much as it is the war of France and England and Belgium. If I could be lieve that, I am sure that the red blood of Americanism would course through my veins like fire. One of the speakers, a veteran of I have to admit that tonight I was rather pleased that I wore a National Army brassard. the war between the States, told of the thrill it gave him to think that both his sons had gone. They had not waited to be called. One is in the British service. He is in the Rot al Flying Corps and is what they call an "Ace," meaning that he has five enemy aeroplanes to his credit. He could not be all aglow with enthu siasm if he had not a deep-down-in hls-heart feeling that it was right for his sons to be there. As we waited for the serving of re freshments I saw a woman crying. I went over to her, feeling that we must have something in common. She said, "I have just lost my hus band, and my mother and father were killed in an automobile accident six SOME SONGS SOLDIERS SING Camp Funston soldiers have pained an enviable reputation as singers, and It is a rare thing:, any more, to find a soldier who cannot sinrr.

Press Boreas.) The Funston athletic department has lost a goat. Lots of goats are lost In times Uka these, but this one is not one of those theoretical animals made famous by George Ade in h i slang fables. Thla goat is a regular he-animal, a horned son of sin wth an eye for the spectac ular and sudden attack, and a taat for military dainties such as olive) drab coat talis and army shoes. He was one it a herd of ten which took part in a goat roping contest In a re. cent camp entertainment. The herd was sold to a. nearby farmer recently and the loss was dis covered. It constituted somewhat es? a mystery, inasmuch as the Koata have been under guard in the middle of the camp. It is still a mystery, in fact, and whether or not billy is on his way to France cleverly camouflaged aa ft hand grenade or a gas mask or some thing of the kind has not been proven. Police anrals tell of the theft of red hot stoves and such, but If any organ ization has peen rmn, t e run n to smuggle one of Funston'a righting goats thru an army Inspection, they deserve the mascot, say a few here. Not less than ooe-foiiTtn ef the arssF and navy of the nltert grates Is com posed of men uf German descent.
