Grand Duke Mich ael is reported to have issued a man ifesto stating that he considered it his duty to restore and regenerate the Russian people says an Exchange Telegraph from Moscow under date of June 25. He calls upon the people to overthrow the present government. Promises Amnesty. The grand duke's appeal for the ousting of the Bolshevik government is based upon the dissolution of the con stituent assembly which was called to decide upon Russia's form of govern ment, the Bolshevik act resulting in thft disintegration of Russia, the man- 1 ifesto declares. Amnesty for past of fenses will be granted all who take part in the revolution, the grand duke promises. The manifesto mentioned is prob ably identical with one reported in an Amsterdam dispatch of June 27 to have been Issued about that time by Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, a younger brother of former Emperor Nicholas.

An armed British steamer with a British vice consul aboaid has gone to Petcheniia, whence it is ex pected to make a dash along the Pas vill river. A large and well equipped Russian force, according to reports re ceived by the correspondent at Pet chenga, is marching toward the rail way ucros the mountains. State of War In Archangel. (By the Associated Press. Moscow, June 23. ---A state of war has been proclaimed in the province of Archangel. The province of Archangel extends from the Ural mountains westward to Finland, a distance of approximately 900 miles, and from Vologda and Olo nets on the south to the Arctic ocean, about 400 miles. It contains the ports of Archangel and Mourmansk, the only Russian outlets to the Arctic ocean. It was on the Mourmansk coast that French and British troops were landed some time ago to protect the Mourmansk railway, over which allied supplies had been going into Russia. 1 American Forces There. Washington, July 1. In the Rus sian province of Archangel, where a state of war has been proclaimed, ac cording to a dispatch from Moscow, lies the Arctic port of Kola, with its railroad guarded by allied and Amer ican naval forces. Consequently the greatest interest attaches to any de velopments there and officials and diplomats here are wondering what the declaration of a state of war may mean. j All recent reports to the state de partment have represented conditions to be quiet around Archangel and along the railroad southward from Kola, and it is hoped that the latest development may mean no more than that the Bolshevik government has proclaimed martial law to maintain order. Vast Military Supplies There. At Kola and for miles Inland along tne railroad there are acres of mili tary supplies, running all the way from locomoties and cannon to cloth ing and provisions scattered over the country. Most of these were shipped from America and from England when the Russians were still fighting the Ger. tans and were short of sup plies. Tne goods accumulated while the railroad from the Arctic port was being rushed to completion as a mili tary measure. When the line was opened, but before any large quantity of the supplies could be shipped south ward, the Brest-Litovsk peace was declared and the movement ceased. It is known that the Germans have been exceedingly anxious to obtain possession of th ,se supplies, or if they could not do bo directly to have them taken over by the Finnish white guards who have been acting under German prompting. RUSSIANS SANK SHIPS Germans Got What Remained of the Slav Black Sea Fleet. Amsterdam, July 1.

SEVERE BATTLES ARE BREWING ON FIGHTING FRONTS British and French Keep Prod ding the' Genmans. German Guns Are Busier Than for Some Days. MAY STRIKE AMERICAN LINES Have Massed Forces in Front of Marines on Marne. Italians Are Improving Their Positions in Mountains. (By the Associated Press.) Both the French and British con tinued yesterday and last night their recently adopted program of prodding the Germans at various points along the Franco-Belgian line capturing a vantage point here and there and har assing the enemy while the prepara tions for the resumption of his offen sive are under way. The French hit the line in local attacks at two sep arate points but both on the western side of the German salient which pro jects down to the Marne from the Aisne. They gained ground in each attack and took prisoners and ma chine guns. The most pronounced gain was ef fected by General Petain's troops just above the point where their line joins the American sector northwest of Bel leau woods. They advanced here south of Passy-En-Valois and. carried their line forward so that it now ryns east of the Chezy-Vlnly railroad. In addition they held on firmly to the ground gained the night previous just to the north in the region of Mosly, fighting off two German counter at- Southwest of Soissons, where the brilliant stroke of last week placed the French in a strong position on the important Laversine plateau, they moved ahead again In the center of their new line capturing a strong point of Cutry.

Tension is Increasing along the British front in France as the ere scendo of the German artillery fire mounts higher and higher. From Ypres to Rheims the big guns are busier than they have been for some days, and the Germans probably are preparing to react strongly against the allied nibbling tactics which cost them important points last week. The German command is known to have large forces in readiness on the main battlefields of France. They may strike anywhere on the 200 mile main front, as their communications give them much elasticity of movements. It is expected also tlat the blow, when and where it does come, will be the mightiest the enemy can make. French Make Ijocal Gains.

Methods employed by Governor Capper in the handling of hundreds of letters regarding disloyalty, sedi tion and espionage in Kansas, has re cently occasioned an investigation by the federal government. Both Gov ernor Capper and Fred Volland. prom inent Topeka mechant and member of the council of defense, were recently visited by a representative of the de- partment of justice. The probe is said to have been based on a belief that practices employed by the governor and Voiland constituted an obstruc tion of the administration of justice. Several thousand letters concerning all manner of alleged disloyalty In Kansas are said to have come Into Voiland's possession in the last few months. Hundrnds of letters from all sections of Kansas are known to have been received by Governor Capper and turned over to Volland. Policies em ployed by Voiland are said to hava delayed and in seme instances blocked the prompt enforcement of federal laws by authorized government offi cials and agencies. New Method Caused Delay.

The only question Is as to the purpose of that call and the natur of the Interview. Both the governor and Voiland expressed surprise when asked concerning the visit of a gov ernment agent. Then, after an evi dence of much thought, each recalled Bagley's visit. Each insisted, tho, It was purely informal and impersonal.

Sheldon, who con ducted the u: 'on meeting of churches of the southwest part of the city Sunday night, advocated the use of land for potato raising that is how be ing" used forthe raising of tobacco. Doctor Sheldon said that an Investi eatinz council has reported that 1.- 36s,000 acres of land are now-. being used for the production of tobacco. At an average of eighty bushels to the acre, said he, this land would produce 109,000,000 bushels of potatoes, fur nishing enough to supply four bushels to each family of four In the United States. Doctor Sheldon says that last year the people ot, this country spent Si, 200,000(000 for tobacco, and yet there is nonobjection made to the profiteering of the tobacco trust, and no one is asked to go without nis to bacco that necessary food may be raised in its place. tBut you can't smoke potatoes! During privation and stress soldiers would exchange potatoes for the solace and comfort tobacco gives them. The T. M. C. A. people recognize this. The tobacco "profiteer," however, should be "smoked out" and -extinguished.!

The enemy did not react strongly, and the French hold their new positions firmly. May Strike Americans. Along the line northwest of Chateau Thierry, where the Americans hold a sector, the Germans are reported con centrating troops and supplies. Aerial fighting has been severe near tne American lines.

One of the most difficult of the many hard Jobs In connection with laying the 16-inch pipeline to the Blackwell. "Ok., field last fall and winter was the crossing- of the Arkansas river. There, the line was divided into 10-inch lines, so there would always be a line In reserve should one wash out. A welded "Y" was laid at the point of division, a difficult bit of pipeline construction. That "Y" was split and torn in a recent pressure test, as tho it had been so much paper. The "Y" did its part well from the time the line was completed, carrying without a sign of weakness, gas under pressure up to 250 pounds to the square inch. In the test this summer, however, the greatly decreased demand for gas made It possible to build up the pressure to 335 pounds. That was the breaking point for the "Y." This illustrates exactly what the pipeline department Is doing this summer in the way of preparation for winter. Had the high pressure test not been made the weakness In the "Y" would have gone undiscovered, perhaps until the coldest day next winter when Its breaking would .have caused serious hindrance to service.

EVERS ON JOB IN FRANCE. lie Is "Baseball Generalissimo" Be hind the Firing Line, BY JACK VEIOCK. New York, July 1. No mistake was made when John J. Evers was chosen as "baseball generalissimo" behind the firing lines in France. The officials in charge of training camp activities migh have selected some major leaguer who could have served the purpose with just as much dispatch, bu they could not have found a more capable man than the "Little Trojan." With years of experience as a stu dent and player in the National pas time, Johnny Evers stands forth to day as one of the smartest men in the game. He is a little pepper box. it is true, and during his major league career he was the pivot of many a baseball melee, but that has nothing to do with his value as a coach and chief adviser of our soldier boys who play the game on French soil when not 'busied on the firing lines. Evers in France will not be the same as Evers in the National league. He will have no pennant fights to work upon his fiery nature; no um pires to roil his temper, and no man agers to disagree with. He will be 1.. absolute charge, and his knowledge of the game, his ability as an organ izer and his contagious personality will be a wonderful help to the Sam mies. What's more Evers will be im mensely popular. Every soldier boy on French soil knows Evers as the greatest second baseman of a decade, and when he puts his personality into the work he is bound to get results. Evers has taken advantage of an opportunity. He has always been a big man in the National game, and he will be a bigger one when he returns.

The govern ment's contention that it is illegal to pay fees or commissions In connection with the negotiating of any govern ment contract soon will be subjected to a test in the courts. A group of manufacturers are arranging to bring suit to contest the attitude of the de partment of justice. Details will be an nounced soon by the department. Continue to Pay Commissions. In this connection it became known today that despite the recent disclos ures of enormous fees paid contingent fee agents and. the indictment of four of these agents on charges of conspir ing to defraud the government, the operations of commission agents is continuing in -Washington and else where. Additional arrests are said to be planned by ofiicials. Contractore complained today 'to the department that they should not be deprived of the services of agents working under commission agreements, at least until the government establishes the pro posed bureau "of information to aid manufacturers in getting in touch wtth the proper purchasing agency of the government.

Premier Weikerle, addressing the Hungarian parliament, declared that the Austro Hungarian losses in killed, wounded and missing in the Italian drive were 100.000, a Budapest dispatch declared today. "We took more than 50,000 prison ers, while the Italians took only 12,000," he said. "In regard to the rumors that we lacked munitions, it is true that our army was never well provided." The announcement caused an uproar by the members. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From thm colamnr f THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL July 1. US. J. P.

W. and .Nonpartisan- Leagut trouble." Authority to Voiland. Full authority to handle the disloy alty complaints had been extended him, Voiland stated. This authority had not only come from Governor Cap per and the council of defense, but also from the department of justice and Dranches of the federal service. In fact, he stated, there was the most copiplete understanding and co-operation regarding his work. In a later interview. Voiland stated he had made many transmittals of complaints and affidavits to the dis trict attorney and marshal's office and that while in Washington with the seed wheat committee, he called at offices of the department of justice to discuss the work in this state. Federal officials refuse to discuss the Bagley investigation, its character, scope or nature of his report. They aeny emphatically, however, that eith er Governor Capper or J'oiland has co operated or assisted In disloyalty cases. Robertson Denies It. i In fact District Attorney Robertson denied he had ever written to Voiland on any subject or had received from him information concerning disloyalty cases. He said the mail from the gov ernor's office dropped to practically nothing after the Marysville speech. In that speech the governor said. "If you know of any pro-German propa ganda or any German sympathizers in this county or anywhere else in Kan sas anything that smacks of disloy alty, I want you to send me the infor mation. It is no time now to quibble or complain when our boys are fight ing and dying at the front." "Voiland Has Not Reported. Robertson was visited by a State Journal representative in Leavenworth last week during the trial of the Stroud case. "I am not at liberty to discuss some of the phases of this matter," said Robertson. "But I will say this. I never wrote Fred Voiland a letter in my life. To my knowledge he has never been in my office. He has never called me on the telephone. He has never written me a letter. As for the hundreds of letters sent to Governor Capper regarding disloyalty in Kan sas, they suddenly stopped coming to my office. Charley Sessions used to send me from one to three bundles of these letters each day from the gov ernor's offic. Then for several weeks beginning late in April, they suddenly stopped. A very few mild and color less transmittals have come to my of fice from the governor's office since April. The heavy mail and much val uable information has somehow been cut off." Knows of No Authority. The district attorney knew of no authority from any branch of the gov ernment which permitted Voiland to pass judgment on the value and merit of disloyalty cases. "If Mr. Voiland holds authority to collect and control disloyalty Informa tion. I am not aware of the depart ment from which his authority came," Robertson said. "The same rule ap plies to the governor." Robertson refused to discus the policy or plans of his office regarding the matter. His statement was in re sponse to direct questions. Even then he refused to state whether in his Judgment the action of the governor and Voiland in holding and directing independent investigations of com-1 plaints constitute obstruction or the administration of Justice. V. S. Marshal Hasn't Seen Voiland. All knowledge of the methods of handling the disloyalty letters was de nied by O. T Wood, United Stat-e mar shal. Wood was told of the state ments of Governor Capper and Voi land. "If Mr. Voiland ever put his two feet in my office. I never saw him nor did I ever hear of it," said Wood. Then Wood was told of Voiland's statement that the case of the man who declared the president should be shot, was referred to him. "I never heard of that, Wood replied. "In fact, I didn't know Vloland had any thing to do with those cases. He has never been to see me. He has never called me on the telephone. If he ever wrote the office a letter, I never saw the letter and never heard of it. This office has never been called upon to work with the governor or Mr. Voiland on any case of disloyalty. Neither man ever mentioned the mat ter to me. I have been on the train with Governor Capper several times lately and he didn't say a word about It." Federal officials In Topeka and Kan sas City refused flatly to discuss the Bagley visit to Topeka. Neither would they state the extent to which the in vestigation might be carried. Fred Voiland, who was placed in charge of the disloyalty letters at the suggestion of Governor Capper and approval of the state council of de fense, was a member of the state leg islature from the north Shawnee county district in 1913 and for a num ber of years has been a prominent Topeka merchant.

Haskin, Director, Washing ton. I. Wh'.le reports from Russia are hazy and unofficial they indicate that the country is becoming thoroly Mexican ized at a rapid rate. Every man prom inent In political circles, who can ob tain a sufficient following, is starting a little revolution of his own. Out of the chaotic situation looms the im portant fact that he Bolsheviki appear to have been put out of business. This of-course was certain to come sooner or later. No country could long exist under such direction and no people would tolerate it a great while. Now, if some one of th revolutionary lead ers will drive out the Germans he probably can become the head of the nation. At any rate, with these two things accomplished the remainder of the world can afford to stand by and let the factional leaders fight it out as has been done for the most part in Mexico. Nothing could have taken place better calculated to bring tho 1 SlaVs to" their senses than the slaying 1 of the'- former czar. They probably realize by this time that there .are worse things in the world than czars. In a recent summing up of the fuel situation. Professor Garfield reached the conclusion that there wilt be a shortage next winter, and his only remedy was stated In the sentence, "It is, therefore, appaient that the full re quirements of coal cannot be filled, and the difierence must be made up by voluntary or enforced curtailment In the use of fuel." In view of the ead experience of last winter, when the productive industries of the coun try curtailed their output after the fuel administration r.ad discouraged early buying of coai, it ;s well that we look farther than the fuel administration .for advice for the coming season of fuel consumption in view of the fact that rhere is a sufiicient supply of coal In the ground to meet all requirements why cannot we nave enforced mining of coal Instead of enforced curtail ment of consumption? The quota of one tranch of the mil itary service of the United States is complete an the recruiting offices have been closed. The war depart ment announces that it has a suffi cient number of dentists to minister to the dental requirements of an army of 5.000,000 men. The other dentists who would serve their country must now wait for the army of fighting men to catch up. In ihe national army now ready for service are 18,000 coal miners, 10,000 metal minets, 24 000 shopkeepers and clerks, 80,000 professional men. doc tors, lawyers, artists, actors and Jour nalists. Foreigners numbering 76.545 who have not become citizens were accepted for serv'ce in the first draft. We oven took 928 Germans. 13,233 subjects of Austria, 302 Bulgars, and 1,600 Turks. About 12 per cent of all the men registered for the draft are aliens. About 10 per cent of those now under arms were aliens when they went to camp. A very large propor tion of these have since-become citi zens as well as soldiers. Under the caption: "Independence Day 1918" Booth Tarkington writes: America is marching. Leaders go be fore us, mighty and implacable for America and for the freedom of man, and we see them not .n dimness, but as shining f igui es, 'alive today and alive forever, at the nead of the na tion: Washingtoi. and Franklin and Hamilton and Adams and Jefferson and Hancock and Patrick Henry and Fran cis Marlon and Paul Jones and Light Horse Harry Lee; and Decatur and Madison and Andrew Jackson and Scott and Wil'lam Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor. And the solemn, great figure of Lincoln marches there, at our head, with Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Robert Lee and Stonewall Jackson. We know what these men bave said to us: that the word to us was always the same, yes terday and today and tomorrow al ways their word to us is "Forward." And we follow them. YVHKRE WAS BCRLKSON? The fact that a telegraph company has been detected" conveying its night messages as hand baggage between eastern cities has exfeited a consider able amount of comment. Few, if any, will defend or excuse a telegraph company which transmits by mail messages which were sup posed to go by telegraph and were paid for on that understanding. It may be true, as contended by the tel egraph company, that the messages, carried from New York to Washing ton, foi-instance were delivered as soon after having been carried on mail trains as they wo.ld have been if sent by wire. That, however, does not overcome the fact that the customer was paying for a wire service. But along with condemnation of the telegraph compaiy may be considered the l osition in nhich the postoffice department is placed by the disclos ures. The talegraph company had been carrying some messages In this manner for several years, and im mense numbers of them for several months. The rave on a night letter between New York and Washington is 35 cents. Those night letters were taken on a midnight train and deliv ered the next morning. During all this time the postal servioe was under taking to conduct a special delivery service for 13 cents. It w-uld seem that with an assured efficiency and a difference of 150 per cent in its favor in thematter of rates, the government should have been able to take the business, even without any wire service. Was there lack of prompt delivery of special delivery lette s. or lack of general knowledge as to the service the government was ready to perform, or how will Mr. Burleson explain the fact that the telegraph company could keep a night letter business that cost 35 cents in competition with the government rate of 13 cents? An army of 15.000 Poles, recruited in the United States, is today fighting side by side with our own soldiers on the western front of France. And an army of 20.000 Boheiriar.s is fighting side by side with the soldiers of Italy. How can the kaisers hope to over throw a spirit like that? The answer is: They d n't. They know their cause is doomed, and they are waiting for something or somebody to help them let go. SATING THE BABIES. The campaign inaugurated some time ago having for its object the sav ing of the babies is reported to be making marked progress by the workers in the cause. According to the survey of infant mortality statistics gleaned from -163 of the largest cities of the United States for 1917. Just completed by the New York milk committee, the baby death rate of the country has been considerably lowered. And'' with the federal government fathering a drive to save 100,000 babies during the sec ond year of America's participation In the war it is expected that the natural national Increase in population during 1918 will surpass the records of all previous years. ,The infant death rate for the 163 cities, all of which have populations above 25,000, was 97.5. In this group there were 723,144 living births. Of these 70,481 died under one year. Us ing these cities as a basis it is esti mated that the living births in the natioa totaled 2,678,000. This number subtracted from the total deaths of all ages, approximately 1,648,000. leaves natural increase in Uncle Sam's national family of more than 1,000,000. The steady fai: of the baby death rate is proof conclusive that organ ized infant welfare work in many parts of the country is giving the baby a square deal from the start," says J. H. Larson, secretary of the com mittee. Tho there is not much difference among them, analysis of the 163 cities which .have made their infant mortal ity rates public shows that those with populations under 50,000 have the best environment for children and that death among babies is more rife in those larger cities where poor people are more abundant and where living conditions, consequently, are more congested. Cities under 50,000 in 1917 had a baby death rate of 90.9, those from 50,000 to 100 000 a rate of 97.4. and those with populations above 100,000, 98.2. New York City has reached the lowest baby death rate in its history, ranking lower than any other world city. Altho Us population has in creased with rapid strides during the past decade there we-e 4,041 fewer infant deaths last year than in 1907. Since then, when the Infant mortal ity rate was 135.8. there has been a constant decrease to 88 8. The honor inftrt death rate among the cities of 100.000 or 'more prevailed in Omaha, Neb, wherf tne mark was 59.2. Close behina was Seattle, Wash., with a rate oi 39.4. Of all the cities in the land, NasLville Tenn., with 1 population of 110 364, !fcd the nighest rate -182.2. Evidence' that some great change has taken place in Russia is seen in the facf that many of the supposedly dead and gone Russians are coming to life, The names of Grand Duke Nicholas Kaledii.es, Korniloft and Kerensky aasain are showing up in the dispatches. TOPEKA STATS JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HASKIN. Director, Washington. D. C AMERICA TIGHTENS ITS BELT. Wasnington. D. C. June 28. There are now more than 100.000 war sav ings societies in the United States, comprising more than five million men, women and children, according to' Mr. Maurice Wertheim, who is the national director of these societies. They are now being organized at the rate of more tnan a tnousanu a. u.j a special magazine, "The War Saver.' is published for their benefit; and they also receive a -pecial bulletin service from .Vashington, designed to spread the gospel of economy. These societies are based upon a va riety of existing organizations, such as schools, churches, lodses, clubs and industrial concerns. Altho the only qualification, for membership is the willingness to save and to buy war saving stamps, the societies are far more than purchasing organizations. They are primarily educational in in tent; '.heir purpose is to teach and practice the idea that the war can be won only by the economical use of all the materials of living. The total iss-ie of war savings stamps by c ngress was but two billion dollars, which is only a small frac tion of the revenue needed to carry on the war The value of the war sav ings stamp3 campaign lies not pri marily in the amount it will bring to the treasury, but in the lesson of sav ing which it teaches. It cannot be repeated too often that the war cannot be won with money alone. If thi treasury were filled to the roof with gold, the situation would scarcely be improved. True, some of this money could be used for the pur chase of goods from other nations, but since nearly all other nations are drawing upon us for goods, we cannot rely upon impo-ts. When you buy a $5 war savings stamp, the fact that you place 15 in gold in the treasury for war use is the least important phase of the trans action. For more important is the fact that $5 worth of material has been 3aved, assuming that if you had not bought a war s- .vings tamp. you would have spent the $5 for something else perhaps for a new pair of shoes By having the old pair half soled, you save just so much leather, which is needed to make shoes for soldiers. The annual value of manufactures in this country has been about $34, 000,000 000. Some of this was export ed, but there? are also imports, so that the J34. 000,000. 000 may be taken as a fair measure of the amount we have been accustomed to spend for manu factured goods. Now the government is calling for about $20,000,000,000 a year of manufactui ed products to con duct the war. That means that the government is going to need about half of the material and labor which has been going into our manufactured goods half of the supplies of shoes and clothes, tools and goods in general which the American people have here tofore had for their own use. Meditate that fact a while and you will begin to get an idea of the magni tude of this business of financing a war. It means that on an average each of us must get along on Just half as much a3 he did before the war. Of course, this is impossible for many persons of smail income. Those of large income will have to retrench by a great deal more than half. But the war can be financed only if every cit izen realizes his duty, not merely to buy liberty bonds and war savings stamps with his surplus cash, which he would otherw'se have put in a sav ings account, but to do without goods which he would have bought in peace time, and to register that actual econ omy of material in the purchase of government obligations war savings stamps or liberty bonds. Every momber of a war savings society signs a pltdgo that he will practice systematic saving, that he will refrain from unnecessary expenditure and 'he purchase of non-essentials, and that he will encourage others in his community to practice these essen tials of thrift. Americans must learn that war means millions of men to feed and clothe who are not producing any thing, millions of tons of steel and food sent to the bottom of the sea by submarines, millions of gallons of gas oline burned in military autos and planes consumption on an enormous scale over and above peace time con sumption. And ;hey must also learn that their country is no longer a sparsely populated one with resources that cannot be measured; but a coun try, which, altho rich in both resources and accumulated wealth, is neverthe less rapidly approaching the stage of saturation m which consumption and production almost balance. And for all that we can produce above our wants, our allies and the neutrals have desperate need. This lesson of economy is the one that will be hard for America to learn. The European belligerents could not have stood the strain of war this long except for the fact that they have long been crowded countries, and have had to learn the lessons of economy. What an American would stigmatize as stinginess has long been a necessity in Europe. Houses heated just enough to prevent illness, food cooked in quantities just sufficient for a meal, clothes made to serve as long as the fabric would held together such economies have been usual even among the well-to-do in Europe. Meanwhile America has been evolving the opposite ideal of wasteful extrav agance. "You are no sport" unless yod are willing to spend more than you can afford, unless you despise patched clothes and half-soled shoes and eyery young American aspires to be a good sport. One of the first things he learns is to lie about his in come and live up to the lie.

But America can no longer afford to be a sport among nations; she has come into new and grave responsibili ties, for one thing, and her days of prodigal wealth are over for another. There was a time in the early mining days of the west when men would throw away change for a dollar as too small to be worth carrying. When the fur trade was at the height of its glory, trappers at Taos. New Mexico, wou' pitch dollars into the street to watch the urchins scramble for them. The great- oil gushers of the west brought into being another epoch of heroic waste. American farmers have burned corn for fuel and lighted their hayfields .7ith natural gas. There is scarcely one f our resources that we ha.e not squandered when it was abundant, and in this way we have built up our falseide 1 spendthrift zing. Those days of largeness are now efinitely over. Experts are ransack ing the mountains for new mines, the oil gushers have ceased to gush: all the best of the land-is under cultiva tion, great projects are under way to reclaim the last stubborn bits of the wilderness. And now comes this great crisis of war, in which the world turns to us for help, to make us rea lize that we have played out the part of careless prodigal, and must adopt another role. This lesson of economy is 'the harder to learn because many classes of workers are making more money than ever before. They must learn that the abun-de .ce which has come to their hands is accidental, and is not theirs to waste, because it belongs to civilization, which is in sore need. That is the lesson of the war savings stamp. DOROTHY DIX TALKS BY DOROTHY DFX World's Hig-hest Paid Woman Writer. Fair or Cloudy Weather. 2. Then there are people whoare con stitutional carriers of discontent and dissatisfaction as some unfortunate In dividuals are constitutional carriers of typhoid, and one Is as contagious as the other. Also about as deadly. You have been at a pleasure resort, haven't you, where you were havine a perfectly bully time. You thoughc the scenery was delightful, the hotel tine, the people agreeable, the rickety old boat, and the one lunged tin Liz zy a barrel of tun. All the guests in the hotel were chumming together like a basket of kittens, and everybody was happy and contented. Along comes, the infectious case of criticism. He or she and it Is tren- erally a she, because this is malady to which women are specially prone uegins tne iatai wont of inoculating everybody with a serum of discon tent. She can't see anything to admire m tne scenery and hopes you don't call those measly little hills mountains. Ihe beach is rocky or too sandy. The river is muddy. As for the hotel, it faces the wrong way, the furniture is old fashioned, the meals are not what they are at the St. Kobem. and the service is atrocious. You actually nave 10 ring twice sometimes lor a maid, As for the guests why most of them are people you never heard of before. Newly rich, probably, or else from small towns. Of course they seem to be very respectable and edu cated people, but you never can tell. They show they are not exclusive by the way they enter into everything. Of course this hail-fellow-well-met at titude may suit some people, but it's dangerous and shows you lack dis crimination. Who knows whether that handsome man really is that pretty married woman's brother or not? And do you suppose that automobile those young girls and boys were out in REALLY broke" down, as they said it did, the night they didn't get in until 12 o'clock. You know how this leaven of dis content and criticis mworks. Haven't you seen a whole batch of human dough begin to ferment as soon as it was injected into it? Haven't you seen people who had been perfectly sat isfied before someone had begun to knock the scenery, kick at the hotel and pick at each ffther? Haven't you seen just one critic ruin the holiday of two or three hundred people? I have, and I have wished that such a one could have been taken out and drowned like a sick cat, for the good of the community. j On the other hand there are p$ow pie who radiate cheer and optimism, and whose very coming into a room makes you feel as if the winds of God had swept thru and purified it,, and left th- breath of hope in it. W'-n such people come to see us there is laughter o their lips, nand sunshine in their eyes, and their very garments are gay and joyful. They may have had trouble and disappointment, but thye never tell us about ttiem, for they have the courage to bear their own burdens without laying them on other people's shoulders. They do not recount the wrongs that haves been done to them; they tell of fine pieces of friendship and kindliness they have met nrith. They recount splendid deeds of hero ism; they tell of successes that have been won by gallant effort; they are full of droll stories that tinkle pleas antly in your memory, And whe nthye go, thye leave you feeling that God is in His Heaven and all 4is well with the world. Sick peo ple feel the wine of healing run thru their veins, and the despairing gird up their loins for the fight that takes them to victory. A beloved woman once said to me: "I have had little money to give but I have made it the rule of my life to give cheer and happiness to all wittt 'whom I oome in-contacts I never let anybody go from my presence with out giving a word of appreciation or hope, something to make them feel happier than th eywere." In which of these classes are you? Do you radiate happiness or despair? Jb-tfT- 77 (Copyrighted, 191T, by The Wheeler Syndi cate. Inc.) TRAVELETTE BY NIKGAH Tlie Sacred Bridge of Xlkko. "Do not -use the word magnificent until you have seen Nlkko," Is said to be a Japanese proverb. Nowadays, comparatively little is heard of Nikko, but its. fame runs back for centuries. About 300 years ago a double row, thirty miles in length, of giant cryp tomeria trees was set out by royal command to honor the main street of so unusual a town. These trees have a circumference of 24 feet, and this archway is probably the longest array of such oionstrous shade trees in the world. One of Nikko's chief attractions Is the Sacred bridge sometimes called the Red bridge because its single arch, spanning the wildly foaming mountain stream, is painted with bril liant red lacquer. With its brass or naments, and mighty barrier gates at either end, it is picturesque, to say the least and in its bold colorings and simple grace, the art of old Japan challenges the sombre greens- of sur rounding cryptomerias and pale, time worn cliffs to defy its charm' and beauty. Only the emperor can cross this Sacred bridge, which has been -aptly said to "start from nowhere and end at nothing." It is said that as a su preme honor to General Grant, the gates were once opened and the American general Invited to cross the bridge, but the great man only placed one foot on the first plank and thanked the Japanese people for the great honor that the nation had shown him. EVENING STORY A Present for Stephen. BY LOUISE OLJ.VER. The lieutenant picked up a thin tin pipe out of the basket and held It up with a smile. "I haven't seen one since I was 10 years old. It's a bean shooter, isn't it?' Jane laughed delightedly. "Yes, it is. Do you thin" a small boy would like it?" "If he doesn't, he Isn't human 1 should say." "There's only one trouble about that, tho," went on Jane more sober ly. "I never thought until after 1 had bought it, that his mother is in very modest circumstances, and buying beans for a small boy 'to shoot into people's eyes might not happen to be the way she would choose to spend her money." They were sitting on a fallen log in a maple grove beside the road Overhead the birds were chirping and fluttering in ecstacy; for the day was one of nature's rarest, the kind she flings before the eyes of a winter worn world to rekindle hope and faith in better things to come. It was early spring, but already there were signs that one young man's fancy had turn ed lightly to thoughts of very great admiration at least for the girl beside him. In front of them on the road stood a car, Jane's, that had stopped for re pair. Just as it happened, the lieu tenant had come along and offered to help mend the perforated tire. Jane had accepted gratefully and now the car stood again ready for ac tion, to use a military phrase. There was really no reason why she shouldn t have gone ahead on her er rand, but, when even the birds were fussily choosing their mates, and the long day was theirs, why shouldn't they rest a few minutes on the log and talk awhile? "It's a birthday basket I m taking to a little friend of my mother's," Jane explained, dumping the things out on the ground. "I wish you knew my mother," sne went on. "If you did you would appreciate these things. The dear soul was born without any sense of humor at all. and dad and I nearly have fits about her. Every May she s been sending some poor lit tle fellow out this xoad a birthday present, and she always chooses the awfulest things for him. One year it was car muffs and mittens she'd got at a sale. She said his mother could keep them in moth balls till tho next winter. And once she sent six bottles of sarsaparilla, for she said ail chil dren needed a blood purifier in the spring and no doubt his mother was too poor to buy him any. She's sent everything from the life of Shake speare to Gibbon's Rome in the read ing line, and once when she couldn't think of anything useful for him she sent a bolt of sheeting for his moth er." "Evidently she has a sense of val ues." laughed the lieutenant. "You're right there," nodded Jane. "Well, anyway, she was too busy to attend to it this yar with all her war work, and had a notion to let it go, but I thought it was a good chance to make up to the little fellow for all his years of disappointment, so I offered to take the burden of shopping and delivery off. her shoulders. And here I am!" "Blessed person! And how old is your little boy?" "Bless your heart, I don't know," said Jane. "And I doubt if mother does, either. The little fellow was a protege of Aunt Mary, who died. And all we know is that mother was to send a birthday present to Stephen Hamilton every year on the tenth of May." "But perhaps the lieutenant stopped. "You're light. There isn't a doubt in the world that your visitation will make up for all his former trou bles." "Well, there's the bean shooter, and here's a bag of marbles nearly all glassies, too and a top, and a mouth organ, a baseball and some peanuts and bananas." "Bully for you! He's a funny boy if he can't have a perpetual birthday all summer. Jane put her treasures back into the basket. "I must be going," she said, rising quickly. "It is getting very late. My boy won't have any birthday pres ent at all if I stay here any longer." "That's so!" he agreed reluctantly. "But won't you let me go with you?" Jane considered a moment, then looked up into his steady gray eyes. "Mother's very touchy about my talk ing to strangers, and the sky's been our only introduction that and the car. But she's dotty on uniformsa soldier to her is a combination of mar tyr and saint so I guess you may come and see Stephen get hla pres ents. Do you happen to know where the Hamptons live?" "Yes. I'll take you there if you really don't mind my going." Before long they turned Into the driveway of a very pretentious coun try house. Jane was startled. "Where are we going?" "To the Hamptons." "Why I don't understand. Surety they can't live here. I thought they were poor." "They used to be, but somebody left them some money- But surely that doesn't make any difference, does it? They're the same people, not changed a bit, and boys are the same the world over." "That's true," answered Jane, a bit dubiously. "And I do think you'll miss some thing if you don't know Mrs. Hamp ton. She's the finest woman I know." They had come to the door now. "All right," said Jane, stepping out of the' car. "But I was thinking of the sarsaparilla." In the big sunny Jiving room Jane was to discover something. The pho tograph in a silver frame on the read ing table and that of a little boy on the wall were evidently the same per son, and encountering the eyes of the officer, she realized that he was tne original of both. As this information conveyed Itself to her brain, and the consciousness of a fearful blunder was sendirg the very blood to her cheeks. Mrs. Hamuton came in Jane waited for no introduction. "I've made a terrible mistake." she cried, pointing to the basket. "I've come to give you little boy his birthday present, and even ear muffs and sarsaparilla would be better then thstuff I have brought" Then suddenly she laughed uncon trollably. "Oh. wait till I te: dad. Won't he Just die, tho. Bean shoot- eds. marbles, peanuts! Oh, my For an army officer, too!" "Dearie." said Mrs Hampton "don't feel distressed about it Your mother has always kindly remembered Steve but she never came out to see us, and I think she lost track of time We always made goou use of the things she sent, and saw that some one got them, but we never liked to hurt her by explaining." "Feel distressed! Oh, goodness! I don't feel distressed! I think It's a splendid joke." Mother and son nodded at each oth er and smiled. If there was anything in the world they admired, it was a sense of humon. "Besides,"' said Stephen, "it's the best birthday I've ever had. I'm go ing to give your mother a special note of thanks for seeding me the nicest present in the world." And the gray eyes were too full of meaning for Jane to question what he meant. "That's true, dear," said Mrs. Hampton, smiling "He's carried your picture since you were a little girl with curls. He said you looked so Jolly. Jane smiled gratefully and held out her hand. "That's splendid of you. Suppose you go back home with me and show mother how little Stephen has grown up," she said. "I'd love to." he answered, "and In cidentally I'll mci.tion to her a real birthday present I want -some time." But Jane, flusning, had nothing to answer Jio thi.

The hostess watched Johnny as he sat quietly gazipg into his plate. Finally sne asked. Why don t you eat your soup, Johnny?" "I don't care for it, please, ma'am." "But your mamma said you- liked chicken soup." "I do like mamma's chicken soup, but she don't put the windpipes in." The little bride was getting ready to cook her first turkey for the Christ mas dinner in the new home. His folks were coming on a visit, and in honor of the event she proudly order ed a twelve-pounder. Now, it sometimes happens that in the hurry of that busy season the pickers of the fowls are too hurried and o careless to get the various parts of the anatomy placed as 'ihey should be. On the day the turkey was deliv ered, the butcher was called to the telephone, when a voice at the other end said: awnt you to send after this turkey right away; I won't keep it." The butcher could not under stand, and when he asked why she said: "It's deformed, and I couldn't swallow a mouthful of it." Now it so happened that he had personally wrapped up that fowl and he thought at the time what a fine one it was, so he asked for an ex planation, and over the wire came the wail: "It hasn't any liver and it has two gizzards!" It is said of a few Germans who were stormed by the British that they called out for mercy, adding: "Ve ves Pomeranians." "Well, then." called out one soldier, "you're blooming lucky to fall into my hands, for I'm a dog fancier." GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. Some of the pep you see is merely greed. Some men have policies; others have principles. A few grouches have made' for tunes, and hundreds of them haven't. Of course, hard luck and not poor playing is what defeats the home team. Over in Germany the people are now eating camels that were kept in the zoo. Eventually they will eat crow. An Atchison man, who boasts the most about how America will win the war Is doing the least to bring it about.

I have a boy friend I havo known almost all my life. He always seemed to care a great deal about me. He is in the army now and has been writing to me. He says he loves me better than any girl he ever saw and I will admit that I love him with all my heart. I really don't think I could care for any other. He wrote that he was coming home to see me and he came and did not come to see me. When he went back to camp he wrote mea letter and asked me not to feel mad at him for the way he did and said he loved me more than all the world. He also asked me to- wait for him and said he was coming home real soon, and was coming to see me the first one. I wrote him -that if he didn't come I wouldn't believe any thing more he said. When "he came I didn't see him at all and haven't heard from him. He was a nice boy and sent me nice presents. He Is in France now and I have given up all hopes of hearing from him again. Do you think he has forgotten meT He has one of my pictures and car ries it with him all the time and said he would never partwlth It. He is rather bashful. Do you tihnk he real ly loved me? Did I do wrong by tell ing him I didn't believe him? I keep thinking he will, write, as I love him so much and he seemed to think so much of me. I want you to advise me what to do. WORRIED. You couldn't believe in the boy after the way he treated you. It was all right to tell him that you could not believe him again. You must try to forget him and must stop looking for his letters. He does not love you or he would treat you with more con sideration. Some day you will b thankful that you escaped marryins; him. A boy who is so unfaithful makes a very unsatisfactory husband.

He Mnst Call Special Session Board To Cancel It. FOUR DEMOCRATS LOSE OUT Three Candidates Failed To Hare Enough Signatures. Fourth Forgot To Say What Office He Was After. Dr. Henry J. Waters, former presi dent of the State Agriculeural college, Manhattan, was today certified by the state canvassing board as a Democrat candidate for governor. The certifi cation was made in spite of reports that Doctor Waters' would not run. Unless Doctor Waters takes action late today to call a special session of the state board, his name will go on the Democrat primary ballot in August. Four men whose petitions were filed for Democrat state nominations were: denied places on the ticket. Nominat ing petitions and declarations of all other candidates were approved. Three of the four candidates failed to file sufficient number of signatures on their p. titions. The petitions of one candidate failed to st. te the office to wl h he sought party nomination. Didn't Have Enough Names. Ben S. Oaitsklll. will have a clear track for the Democrat nomination for attorney general, under action of the state board. B. J. Carver of Paola, and J. H. Simminger of Hays, sought the nomination for attorney general. Each failed to certify a sufficient number of names when their nominat ing petitions were filed with J. T. Botkin... secretary of state. Petitions tiled for W. M. Hudson of Chanute, j B3 issmocrat candidate ror congress In "the Third district, also proved in- i sufficient when the number of petitioners were checked. E. W. Cant rell of Sumner county, candidate for supreme court Justice, failed to state on his petition the office he sought So Cantreil was eliminated. The placing of Dr. Henry J. Waters in the Democrat race for governor was one of the most important actions of the state canvassing board, which met today to certify all legal candi-dates-for state and congressional of fices. Doctor Waters's petitioners were of sufficient number to insure him a place on the ballot. No formal protest had been filed by the former Agricultural college president against his candidacy. Now the name will go on the ballot unless Doctor Waters takes action to call a special session. Such action must be taken before the end of the day. Harry Gray, of Turay. and W. C. Lansdon, of Salina. were also certi fied as Democrat candidates for gov ernor.

Litigation, involving final settle ment on the contract for the construc tion of the Raton tunnel in New Mex ico on the Santa Fe, which has ex isted in the Shawnee county district court and supreme courts for several years, ended today when the Santa. Fe railway, thru Clerk Chapin of the district court, paid the Lantry Con struction company of Faola a total of J24, 879.43. The tunnel, one of the biggest pieces of engineering work in the southwest, was completed by the con struction company in 1908. The rail way company refused to allow claims aggregating J22.895.15 made by the Lantry company, and the construction company promptly sued. A referee allowed the amount asked and the railroad appealed to the supreme court, which affirmed the Judgment of the lower court. Of the amount paid in today, $1,984.27 was for in terest on the Judgment. MORE ZONE RATE PROTESTS Hearings on New Revenue Law Re sumed by House Committee. "Washington, July 1.

Union Officials Claim One Fourth of Men Will Go Ont. Washington, July i. It is under stood that the president has. not con cluded definitely to take over the tele graphs and telephones as soon as the power is given. He probably will await the result of the strike of West ern Union operators, called for July 8 by the Commercial Telegraphers' union, because the Western Union re fused to abide by rulings of the war labor board and continued to dis charge union operators. Union officials claim one-fourth of the 20,000 operators of the Western Union will walk out. The company insists that the strike call will have no substantial effect upon its business. SAVEYOUR GASOLINE National Automobile C. of C. Shows How Antoists Can Do It. Washington, July 1. The United States fuel administration, thru Mark L. Requa, director of the oil division, has issued the following statement in regard to gasoline: "Up to the present time there has been-sufficient supply of gasoline to meet all requirements: but in order to be prepared for any shortage, should it arise, plans are being considered by the oil division of the fuel administra tion, in co-operation with the automo bile Industry and the national petro leum war service committee, for .the purpose of determining the most sat isfactory method of gasoline conserva tion. "It Is not expected in any event that it will be necessary to restrict normal consumption for freight ve hicles, and provided there Us a reason able conservation by all concerned, it may not be necessary to seriously in terfere with passenger cars and mo tor boats. "It must be torne In mind, how ever, that the paramount u.v for gaso line is for war purposes, all of which requirements will be supplied. The volume of this will largely govern the situation. "It seems possible that rational con servation by the public will render government action unnecessary." The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce is co-operating to help in this conservation movement. While there is need for saving, there is no official suggestion of any neces sity for curtailing use of passenger cars on Sunday or any other day, nor the Issuance of gasoline cards to limit the amount to be sold to each individ ual owner. Every motorist should conserve gas oline in every way. The following methods are suggested. Do not use gasoline for cleaning mechanical parts. Studiously avoid spilling, leakages and evaporation. Do not let engine run when car Is standing. Have carbureter adjusted to give largest possible mileage per gallon. Adjust brake bands so they do not drag; keep all bearings well lubricat ed and tires fully inflated. Keep spark plugs clean, have Igni tion correctlly timed and drive with spark well advanced. Do not accelerate and stop quickly: avoid high speed; stop engine and coast 'ong hills. Avoid aimless and unnecessary use of cars; do a number of errands In one trip; carry purchases home in the car to reduce deliveries by stores. Combine with neighbors and friends In the use of cars.

Senators from wheat producing states today made another determined effort to increase the government's minimum guarantee for wheat to $2.50 per bushel. Discussing the resolution of Ma jority Leader Martin proposing that t' senate yield to hou:se objections to a price increase, representatives of the wheat growing states declared that even with the new price increase provided recently by the food adminis tration's grain corporation to meet in creased f.eight charges the present guarantee is not sufficient to give farmers a fair profit or to stimulate production. Price $2.35 Suggested. Washington, July 1. A compromise of $2,35 per bushel was proposed by Senator Norris, of Nebraska. He of fered a substitute for the Martin reso lution providing folr the $2.35 mini mum based on No. 2 wheat at prin cipal interior markets. Senator Nor ris declared action of the house is controlled by three house conferees from cotton growing states. That denial of a price increase is "worse than a crime" was declared by Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, who said wheaf growers are "singled out" for discrimination. He and other senators asserted that pre sent uncontrolled prices for corn, bar ley and other cereals are so high that the fixed wheat price Is not an in centive for its planting. NEW WHEAT PRICES Administration Fixes Rate to Conform With Freight Advance. New York; July 1. New wheat prices, necessitated by advanced freight rates, have been announced here by the food administration grain corporation. It was stated that a minimui.. price of $2 a bushel for No. 1 wheat aboard cars in the inter mountain territory will be made ef fective. Details of the plan will be made public: The corporation's an nouncement said that No. 1 wheat of the northern spring, hard winter, red winter, durum and red white grades will be sold in the various markets at the following basic prices: New York. $2.39; Philadelphia, $2.39; Baltimore -and Newport News, $2.38; Duluth, $2.22; Minneapolis, $2.21; Chicago, $2.26; St. Louis. $2.24; Kansas City and Omaha, $2.18; New Orleans and Galveston. $2.28: Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, Ore., As toria, San Francisco and Los Angeles, $2.20. The price basis for No. 8 wheat will be 3 cents below No. 1, and for No. 3, 4 cents below No. 2. Grades below No. 3, will be dealt in on sample. Special classes of wheat, the commission said: will be sold on the following schedules: uarK nard winter, 2 cents above hard winter; dark northern spring. 2 cents above northern spring; amber durum, J cents above durum; yellow hard win ter, 2 cents under hard winter: red spring. 5 cents under northern spring; rea waiia, cents under red winter: red durum, 7 cents under durum; soft white, 2 cents under hard white; white club, 4 cents under hard white. Changes in federal grading stan dards previusly filed with the trade, it was declared, are expected to result in production of more high grade wheat than in 1917. VETOED EIGHT-HOUR BILL President Says If Hours Are Increased Pay Also Must Go l"p. Washington, July 1. President Wilson today vetoed the legislative appropriation bill because of the Bor landamendment increasing the hours of government workers but providing no overtime pay. The president's action holds up. ap propriations for government workers beginning July 1, and may hold up congressional recess unless the meas ure is quickly passed minus objec tionable features. In his veto message1 the president takes the position that the government cannot afford to change unfavorably, conditions of labor of its employes during the war, because of Its appeal to private employers. The message reads: Is Committed to labor. "At the outset of the war I felt It my duty to urge all employers in the United States to make a special ef fort to see to it that the conditions of labor were in io respect altered un favorably to the laborer. It has been evident from the first how directly the strain of this war is to bear upon those who do the labor which under lies the whole process of mobilizing this nation and it seemed to me at the outset, as it seems to me now, that it Is of the highest importance that the advantages which have been ac corded labor before the war began, should not be substracted from or abated. Wants To Be Consistent. "Having taken this position In an earnest appeal to other employers, I do not feel Justified in sending thru a measure in which the United States as an employer, changes the condi tions of labor of its own employes un favorably to them and I feel the freer to take to this position because I have not learned from any quarters that the employes of the government in the district have been slack in their labor or have demurred from doing any of the necessary additional tasks which the times and the exigency require. On the contrary, I have learned that they have cheerfully done additional labor and have not needed the com pulsion of law.'" New York Cotton Market. New York. July 1.

This is a vast displacement which women are called upon to remedy. LTp to this time American women have been able to do their duty with out greatly altering the normal cur rent of their lives. Red Cross or Y. M. C. A. work, knitting, bandage roll ing, kit making, organization of en tertainment, and correspondence are carried on with great zeal and are im portant features of immediate prep aration. But we are rapidly ap proaching a time when women are to be called upon, as British and French women have been, to step out of their accustomed womans routine and take up the places vacated by men. A Canadian officer writing home of the -England and France of today, says, "This war is proving that women can do anything if they will." A Brit ish high commissioner told us last winter that soon battleships would be hunt entirely by woman s labor. The diversity of service performed by women in the belligerent countries is one of the striking aspects of the war. Gingham parasols have not yet made their appearance on the streets of Topeka but gingham hats have. They are very pretty and quite be coming and make a most comfortable looking sport hat.

A collection of paintings which have been given lately to the Kansas State Historical society is to be hung in the museum at the Memorial building this week. These paintings were donated by Mrs. Henrietta Briggs Wahl, of California, formerly from Hutchinson, Kan. Mrs. WTahl will be remembered as one of the pioneer suffrage work ers of the state. She has spent the past si-: years in California, but has kept her home furnished in Hutchin son until the present time when she is moving her furniture to California, where she expects to reside perma nently. One interesting picture in the col lection is an Italian scene entitled "The Overflow of the River Po," from the art gallery of a former United States minister to Italy, Mr. George P. Marsh, and presented to Mrs. Briggs-Wahi about twenty years ago by Mrs. Marsh, his widow. Another picture in the collection is "American Woman and Her Peers," which was exhibited at the Chicago W orld's fair in 183. The idea of thisj picture is said to have been conceived by Mrs. Wahl when working for the suffrage cause in the early eighties. Mr. and Mrs. Roland W.

The Portuguese government soon will re-establish re lations with the Vatican after an in terval of seven years, it was learned today. Pi Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) French Women Have Abandoned the Blouse and Substituted the Waist coat in Coat Suits, and America Is Beginning To See the Economy of It. New York. The long waistcoat that shows as a wide panel down the front of the modern jacket is not a novelty even in this year. It is a garment that has flickered in and out of history. It was worn by kings and peasants in Europe during and onc6e Mme. PaqSin tried to bring it into vogue, but failed.-. About eightyears ago. there was a decided tendency" in France to wear separate waistcoats of brocade with rhinestone buttons, slashed pockets below the waist and lace collar and jabot at the neck. A few of these were brought to this country, but again the impetus of the movement slackened long before it reached suc cess. New suit that shows a waistcoat blouse In navy blue saffeta, with collar, tie and cuffs of black velvet. 1 The vest is of white taffeta em- broidered in black. These were the waistcoats of cour tiers, and they were garments asso ciated with the romance and intrigue of courts, but even under the spell of the memory of snuff box and patches, curled white wigs and black satin bows, romantic women failed to be attracted by the waistcoat. Modern Edition of a Courtier's Vest. Why do you suppose that, after this attempt, based on an appeal to the romance that was left in these gener ations, the long waistcoat should sud denly succeed in trance and look as tho it were going to succeed over here? The answer is simple, e'est la guerre. Blouses are luxuries with coat suits. They belong to the superfluous things that may be taxed. They need con stant rejuvenating either thru the cleaner or the washerwoman. There fore, as few of them as possible, and only when necessity demands them, is the motto of the French woman. Even when she adopts them, she prefers them colored to white, because they do not need constant cleaning. For instance, she wears J off re blue, gera nium pink, amethyst purple and topaz yellow blouses of muslin or even checked ones of gingham, instead ot the diaphanous white things or the handkerchief linen ones with Irish y 7nne FK&te, rehouse lace which serve only once before they must be freshened. It Is hinted that we of America will ear the colored shirtwaist next win ter with our severe tailored suits, and this is quite probable thru the influ ence of the thousands of women who are in uniform and wJio have adopted colored shirtwaists as a means of economy and fitness. Separate Waistcoat Instead of a Blouse This summer the French and also the American suits are showing not only the long panel waistcoat which straightens the figure from collar bone to below the waistline, but also sleeveless blouses that fasten in the back and have the appearance of a long waistcoat in front. These are very smart and as straight and simple in line as a child's pinafore. They have nothing in com mon with the sleevless waistcoats that have been offered to us for the year. The latter have short fronts with a row of buttons down the middle, the former show no signs of fastening: they do not curve in at the waist, and they reach from seven to ten inches below it. They are made of linen, of faille, of taffeta, of Georgette crepe, and many of book muslin and even dimity. The sketch shows' a new suit for constant usage which has one of the waistcoats in front that save shirt waists. It is of thin navy blue cloth with Robespierre collar and cuffs of fine velvet. The vest of white taffeta is embroidered In black and silver threads. There is an immense black satin tie to hold up the rolling collar, and it is managed in quite a now way, as you will notice. THE HOUSEHOLD Edited by ANNE RITTENHOVSE Here Are Nwe Ideas for Lighting. The idea this summer seems to be to save the dayliuht and to make the lamplight just as attractive as passible while you have it. Kvery housewife must have discovered by this time that her electric light or gas bills are less than in summers previously. A good many womn who have always made it a rule to dine by candlelight have been immrnsely relieved- tni? summer because with the new sched ule they are able to dine by daylight and dispense with the candles entirely. Candles are rather more expensive than usual, and besides they are dread fully drippy things to have on. one's table when the windows and doors are open to let in any passing breeze. One woman who knows just how much she used to spend on candles a week the amount wasn't large but it was worth saving regularly puts just that sum into thrift stamps and the thrift stamps she gives to a needy child in the neighborhood who otherwise would have none. Much has been made of late by way of making lights go the longest way thru ihe use of inverted shades and clever women have found that with a very little help from an electrician they have been able to construct their own inverted lights by means of the oasket work frames that come for this pur pose or inverted Chinese hats or Jap anese parasols. To make home constructed lights of this sort especially attractive one can depend long Oriental tassels trimmed with beads from the center or from the sides. One attractive way that can be em ployed to use a pair of attractive Jap anese parasols in a room or piazza where only a low light is wanted is this. Have the Handles of the parasols cut off a litcle short of a foot from the base. Now open them almost to their full span and bring them to gether with the cut ends of The han dles meeting. The parasols will now form a large flattened globe that pre sents one nearly opened parasol on one side, fitted evenly to another nearly opened parasol on the other side. This should be held firmly to gether in some way and then raised to the place where the light is to be shaded. On a screened porch it is attractive to have a center light rath er high toward the ceiling shaded in this way. One such pair of parasols in theN center of the room is attractive, but better still would two or three such globes appear at even spacings in the room. Have you seen the new service lamp shades? They are white translucent glass globes that fit down over a table electric light and in the center of which is a space showing one, two oc three service stars. This is a rather unusual nighttime substitute for the regular service flag. Strike Breaks Down. Lowell, Mass.. July 1.

Everyday Etiquette We should not correct oar elders if they seem lax in up-to-date table man ners.

BETTY: When the young man whom you were walking with failed to lift his hat when you bowed to other gentlemen whom you met, I think it signified that he was ignorant of good form rather than that he was jealous of your other friends. You were right not to remind mm of his lack of cour tesy. It would have been very im polite of you to tell him thfit he was ill-mannered as rude as it would have been to correct his grammar! The only thing to do in such a case is to endure silently, and to avoid the young man ever after, or at least until he im proves his manners- J. K. You must leave the renewal of your correspondence to the young man. Altho you feel sure that one of your letters has not reached him, the fact remains that you sent it, and it is his place to make inquiries. Then, too, there is always the possibility that he received your last letter, but has not answered it because he wished to drop the correspondence.

Mo. chief rater for Hasold Hess of the Missouri inspection bureau. 4 f 1"' Charles E. Eldridge. The name Eldridge has been con nected with Kansas fire insurance rates and inspections for twenty years. Charles Eldridge came to Kansas in IS 76, when he was but a lad, from Boston. He began to learn the prin ter's trade with E. M. Bruce of the Blue Rapid Times. Later he came to Topeka and was printer's devil for T. P. Harris, and held copy for that veteran-proofreader. Afterward he was foreman of a job printing office, and for a time worked on the Topeka Pa'Iy Canital under the management of .T. K-Hudson.

In the springe of 1897 the Populist party, thru Webb McXall, were Instru mental in setting aside the rating and inspection business, and the work was carried on In Oklahoma until 1899. when Mr. Eldridge issued his pros pectus to companies doing business in Kansas that he had organized the Kansas Fire Insurance Inspection of fice, and would take their subscrip tions to his reports that set forth a schedule rate on different classes of risks and hazardous features connect ed therewith. He copyrighted a minimum tariff for Kansas, with whith similar risks In towns under the same kind of fire protection were uniformly rated. This principle of uniformity in rating was Liter carried out in 1904 in the adop tion of what was known as the Dean schedule, and now in use under the analytic system of rating in Kansas and central wst states.

BAR FOREIGN TALK Dr. S. S. Estey Would Americanize Schools and Moralize Americans. That foreign languages should be barred from American schools was the declaration made in a sermon Sunday morning by Dr. S. S. Estey, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Dr. Estey declared that many refugees from old world oppression had come here, not to enjoy our liberty, but to steal it away from us and that it was time an edict was issued forbidding any public or private school to in struct its pupils in any but the Eng lish tongue. "Not only must our alien citlzensba Americanized, but our American citi zens be moralized," said Doctor Estey. "What does it mean in this hour to find a gang of leading business men conducting a gigantic system of steal ing? What does it mean that we still hesitate to throttle the llquoritraffic tho it is stealing bread from our sol diers mouths. It means that we are not as yet a people repentant and humbled." In this celebration of our national holiday. Doctor Estey declared that superfluous oratory 'd bombastic laudation of Americ:. wealth and prosperity would be as unappropriate as laughter at a funeral. He declared that, while we fight for the rights of the small nations of Europe we must not let our home problems remain un solved.

He reports a wonderful crop of wheat in that district, and the oats the finest he ever saw. The wheat at the elevator is running from 61 to 62, and only a few lots have fallen to 59. The corn is also in fine condition, showing a good color. Mr. Lukens also saw a timber rat tler four feet two inches in length, as large around as a man's wrist, that had been killed In a farmer's potato field, near Richland. The rattles had been cut off, so the snake's age could not be determined. It is reported that the timber borderingthe Waka rusa is infested with rattlesnakes. Notes and Personals.

LUTHER LEAGUE ADJOURNS Most Successful "Winning the War" Convention In Topeka. The convention of the Luther Leagues of the Kansas City district which closed Sunday afternoon at the First Swedish Lutheran church was one of the most successful held by that district in years, according to the Rev J. A. Jacobson. The greater part of the discussion this -year, he said, was confined to winning the war and the relation of the Luther Leagues to the war. The convention ended with a big pa triotic rally held in the afternoon with Governor Capper as the principal speaker. Other features of interest were also on the vrogram, including an address by the Rev. H. E. Senstedt of Kansas' City. At .the Saturday afternoon session officers for the following year were elected as follows: Rev. J. A. Jacob son, Topeka, president; Miss Ella Wl bert. Kansas City, vice president; Miss Mildred Johnson,. Kansas City, secre tary; Earl Erlckson, Saxonburg, treas urer. ROBT. GORDON ON PEACE "We Should Consider No Proposal Vntll Flags Fly In Berlin." The Rev. Robert Gordon preached at the union services of the downtown churches Sunday night. He delivered a war sermon, declaring that America should not consider a peace proposal until the flags of the allies floated over Berlin. "To perpetuate true Americanism." the Rev. Mr. Gordon said, "this coun- try must nave a democratic state of society. Brotherhood is the" basic principle. The political boss has no place in this country, and the profit eer is the most unpatriotic and un American person In the country. Let us make true the slogan of our fath ers: 'A schoolhouse on every hill and no saloons in the valleys. When the energy of every person in the coun try is needed, it Is poor policy to waste our man-power In the work of making and transporting alcoholic liquor." i TAKE OVERPLANTS Senate Committee Would Hare Government Make Planes. Finds Conditions Bad in Nearly All Factories. Washington, July 1. The senate aircraft investigating committee is preparing to recommend that the gov ernment take over all aircraft factor ies and run them under direct offi cial supervsion. Startling discoveries made by the committee on recent investigating tours of the leading factories and evi dence gathered elsewhere have brought several committee members to the belief that in no other way can aircraft production be put on a basis which will enable it to catch up rea sonably with the rest of the arroy. The committee has found: Profiteering In Some Concerns. That profiteering has been prac ticed by some concerns having con tracts with the government. That other apparently "big" cor porations really have beenoperating on a "shoe string." Committee Was Startled. Committee members were startled, they said today, to find these condi tion, as they expect, in view of pub licity given the aircraft situation be fore either the senate or the Hughes investigations began, that the situa tion would now be much improved. The committee's report is expected to be made to the military affairs committee soon after congress returns from the summer recess, abotft mid August, The nature of legislation asked will depend on the progress and results of the Hughes investigations. It is believed. HEHEETAECK Kann Soldier In France Bad No Trouble fn Paris Bank. A Kansas boy. Irlc B Walker from the town of Winf'eld, was able to cash his personal check on a remote small city bank of Kansas, in a large bank of a great financial center half a world away. Walker Is a soldier In France, and feeling the want of som'e spending monay over and above the stipend he receives .from his government, he wrote honi to "dad,"- ,who Is 'B. D. Walker of Winfield. niking for the cah lie needed to see him thru Postal delays held back the remit tance, and so the enterprising young Kansan decided to try his luck in a Paris bank. To his question as to the cashing of his personal check he was pleased to receive a prompt reply that the bank would readily cash it for him. In due time the cancelled check came back thru the Winfield bank on which it was drawn, and is now In the hands of the fond father, who would not sell it for fifty times its face value. WE MUST KEEP BUSY Governor Capper, In Pulpit, Tells Con gregation ot War Needs, Governor Arthur Capper was the preacher at the Oakland Christian church Sunday night. He told the congregation that no halfway Ameri canism could be tolerated; that the war must be fought to a decisive vic tory for the allies; that to accomplish that end, everyone would have to help, and that there was no place in the national scheme for any Idlers. "We must make It our business," he said, "to see that Kansas people are kept busy. Every man must help or get out. We will stand for nothing less than 100 per cent patriotism. I want you to help us run down disloy alty and slackerlsm, if any is left In this state." TOPEKA'S FLOUR SHOWING Mills Here Produce 8,250 Barrels Ev ery Bay In Tear. Topeka bids fair to rival the great Twin Cities of the upper Mississippi in the achievements of the milling indus try, according to a survey of the city comptled by -the Chamber of Com merce. Topeka produces $,250 barrels of wheat flour every day of the year ex cept Sundays. In addition to this she turns out hundreds of barrels of corn meal and corn flour and barrel after barrel of the by-products. 'The wheat Tour produced in Topeka In a tingle year will make enough bis cuits to feed the entire world at one meal. At least every person in the world could be supplied with three bis cuits m year from the wheat flour milled in the Topeka plants. And aft er all persons had eaten their three biscuits there would still be enough left in the pans to feed the combined armies of the allies. The statistics were made up for presentation to the war industries board in Kansas City this' week. In addition to the compilation of the "readv to serve in the war work" sur vey of the milling Industry fhe Cham ber of Commerce began the listing of all available machinery In the city which, could be turned from the em ployments of peace to the manufac ture of war necessities.

Adv. ir To WARNING On account of the scarcity of ice at this time and the fact that the available storage supply is nearly exhaust ed so early in the season, we wish to request that for the present our customers conserve on their ice as much as possible. In order to protect all our customers, the small con sumer, for the time being1, will be able to buy ice at prac tically the same price as the one who uses five or six tons. We especially request that the large consumer reduce consumption to a minimum and for this reason are tem porarily increasing the price on the larger quantities. If present conditions continue it may even be neces sary for us to arbitrarily reduce the quantity fifty per cent to the larger consumers. The Peoples Ice and trator; Hon. Charles E.

The snirit behind the organization of this great nation-wide tribute of America to f ranee is shown in the many messages of acceptance of mem bership in the committee received oy Owen Johnson, chairman of the com mittee. Vice President Marshall wired Mr. Johnson: "My admiration for the French re public is so great that I deem it a high honor to be .permitted to be one of a national committee, presided over by Mr. Taft, the purpose of which Is to observe Bastile day in America as a slight tribute of the people of this country to the honor, courage and friendship of the French republic." Mr. Johnson received the following from ex-President Taft: "It seems most appropriate that the great French national holiday, cele brating the overturning of the Bastile and the inauguration of civil liberty in France, should, in view of our close alliance with France in this great war, receive America's recognition and an American tribute on the great national day of the French republic" Herbert C. Hoover: "The idea that we Join with France in celebrating her national holiday is a most happy one. I cannot imagine a finar acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude we owe to that heroic land. Booth Tarklngton: "Am delighted to have my name on a national committee for so splendid a purpose." j Dr. Anna Howard Shaw: "I am happy to add my name to the list of those who desire to honor incomparable France on the anniver sary of Tier Independence."

W. PEGLER (United Prera Staff Correspondent.) (Editor's Note This la the fifth and last installment of the story of tbe heroes of tbe American legion who fought under the British flag and then under the Stara and Stripes in the great war, and most of whom, including Lieut. Col. Richard H. Griffiths and MnJ. Alexander Kassmuaseu, now sleep beneath the soil of France.) The trails of the American soldiers crossed many times after Rasa and Captain Jock went to the front with the Canadians. They would relieve one another in the line, passing in the dark, and fail to meet. After several months, however, Jock was gassed and, upon leaving the hospital on his way back up to rejoin his unit he met Griffiths and Mack. Meanwhile the American legion fel lows were being picked off, one by one. Lieut. Frank Hines, a Minne apolis telegraph operator, was killed going over the top in ths great Easter Monday attack, when the Canadians capt"red Vimy Ridge. Frank Jones, of Oak Cliff, Dallas, Tex., known as "Ol" Tex.," a company cook, was picked off by sniper. Archie Pannill, of Chatham, Va.,' was wounded in the arm at Vimy, but took command of the company when his major was knocked out and completed the organization of the captured positions before accepting relief. For that Pannill won the mili tary cross. Joins Flying Corps. After recovering he joined Royal Flying corps, flew at the front, and crashed one day last summer when a. boche plane shot out the wires on his machine. Pannill's hips were frac tured and I believe he returned home after recovering. The Minard brothers, of Boston, made a great record for themselves and for the legion. One of the Minard boys was killed, but his American brother kept on fighting until he was wounded in the foot by a. piece of shell. He returned to Boston on furlo, and when it expired only recently, returned to his depot ir England for further fighting at the front. This was the type of man of the "Lost Legion" of tramps. There were hundreds of others who fought their fight whose names I can't dig up Jurt yet. And the fit survivors are still fighting. Colonel Griffith's wounds kept Tenn., Savannah, Cleveland, Boston and Rock Island. The celebration in this city will meeting in Madison Square Garden on the evening of Monday, July 15. This gathering will be addressed by speakers, to be announced later, who will include representatives of all the Allied Embassies and Missions in this country. The great hall will be decorated ..ith the flags of all the Allied nations, the Tri-Color of course predominating, and flections of seats will be reserved for men and women representing those nations.

President Wilson has been given the freedom of the city by unanimous vote of the city council.

When he came out of the hospital his right arm was practically useless, and he would offer his left hand on meet ing a friend. "This is my war souvenir," he said on the dav his American battalion of the American army went into the line for the first time, and he produced three protographs from his old, tat tered kit-bag. They were X-ray prints showing where a piece of his shoulder had been removed by the surgeons. It was in a little battered village about three milea from the trenches. Griffiths sat in the gloaming at a little table with a bottle of beer and a tin of American slum before him. giving orders in his quiet but imperative way to younger officers and orderlies who came in and out If they were ner vous on this first night of their big adventure, the quiet, efficient confi dence of Colonel Griffiths must have re-assured them, for they showed no nervousness. A hundred French officers had oc cupied this little room before him and the walls were covered with illustra tions clipped from "La Vie Paris ienne." Griffiths s Last Ride. It grew dark. He dumped his stray things into his kit, gave that peculiar shake of the left hand to his friends and, followed by his American orderly, mounted his horse. Stationing himself at the crossroads, he sat like a statue in the dusk, quiet ly directing platoons and squads down that road toward the trenches. The ticklish business of the relief was an old story to him, but Colonel Griffiths was as cautious that night as he was on the night cf his first trip in. Kitchens, ration wagons. little groups of soldiers, tough, patient. Mis souri mules drawing machine guns -all the methodical confusion of traffic incidental to a relief went down that road with scarcely one misstep. "Well, goodnight, gentlemen," called Colonel- .Griffiths, waving to us who stood at the crossroads. r- He nudged his horse over the little rise, and with the orderly at his heels, disappeared down the same road with his boys. lilies and signed by the mayor and aldermen will be sent to President Wilson shortly. SUGAR RATION NOW Housewife Blast Sign Pledge to Buy Her Share In Kansas. Wichita,- Kan., July 1. Rationing: of sugar was extended to householders today by the food administration. When the housewife goes to buy her two pounds of sugar she will be re quired to sign a pledge that she and her family will limit themselves to three pounds per person per month, except for canning. The signing of the pledges will be as effective as the card system, as it will enable the food administration to check up on how much each customer is buying. Dis tribution thru retail stores will simr plify the handling of pledges. The pledges are being printed b the food administration and wilt be distributed to all retailers in a few days. This puts all users of sugar, on a ration basis. This is necessary in order that the needs of the allies and our armies overseas may be met..

Healthy Flesh and te Increase Strength, Vigor and Nerve Force. Judging from the countless prepara tions and treatments which are continM ally being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft carved lines of health and beauty, there are evi dently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Oar bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well am the organie phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is in expensive and la sold by most all drug gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phorphoric food ele ments, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appear ance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This increase in freight also carries with It a general improvement in the health-' Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not. owing to its remarkable flesh growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.
