Washington, Aug. 1- Allied troops today smashed forward on three sectors of the Soissons Rheims salient, tearing into the German lines for maximum gains of more than two miles at some points. The attacks were made on the southwestern, southern a n-d southeastern portions of the pocket, over a combined front of nearly twenty-five miles. The town of Cramoiselle and the important hill 205 were cap tured and the Meuniere wood, which had held up the allied ad vance in the center for days, was entirely cleared of the enemy. American troops made their appear- nee on the east side of the salient for the first time. They were reported advancing toward the Ardre valley near Ville-En-Tardenois. At the Fame time, the Germans Khoived unusual activity on widely flattered sectors of the French front, feeling our the allied positions by at tempted surprise attacks near Rheims, in the neighborhood of Montdidier and in th.'

UPSET THE ENEMY'S PLANS Huns Compelled To Throw In 108,000 Reserves. Germans Had Intended To Ad Tance on Paris. BY FRED S. FERGUSON. With the American Armies In France, Aug. 1. Paying high tribute to the Americans' fighting between the Ourcq. and the Marne, General De Goutte, commander of the French army in this region, declared that the offensive is being carried out in such a manner as to spare allied reserves. The general, who received the American correspondents at his head ciuarters, said the Americans ..ad fought 'and are now fighting admir ably and that he is prood to command such troops. He said he used the Americans the same as he did the best French troops, a fact of highest importance to the allies. Hindenburg's Plans Upset. The Germans, he said, are endeav oring to destroy allied reserves before America is able to throw a serious weieht into the battle but, with Ameri can assistance, movements which have completely upset Hindenburg's plans for a drive on Paris, are being carried out solely with troops already In the line. Farthest Advance 18 Miles. The Franco-American troops have advanced thirty kilometers (18 H miles) smee the start o the counter offensive. Tn the meantime, Hindenburg Is being forced to throw German reserve divisions into the line to cneck the Franco-Araerican push. It is esti mated that at least -nine divisions (108,000 men), have been withdrawn from other parts of the front and thrown in between Soissons and Rheims. Kxplained German Plan. Standing before a great map, .Gen eral Do Goutte explained the appar ent German plan of the last Marne at tack, which was to widen the front south of the river, thus preparing a wider avenue for the advance upon Paris. French and Americans pre vented a serious advance beyond the Marne, then completely scrambled Hindenburg's plans by counter attack ing between Soissons and Chateau Thierry. German resistance has stif fened north of the Ourcq, and bitter fighting is under way on the plateau in that region. In Meumere wood (southeast of Cierges) the boches held strong positions which were difficult to take by direct attack. The effort since crossing the Ourcq has been to squeeze them out there by flanking movements. U.S.LOSSES HEAVY Xot "early So Great as French and British Casualties. But Xation Must Prepare for Long Lists Coming. Washington, Aug. 1. The nation must steel itself for the shock of the first great casualty lists, according to officers today. Not Out of Proportion to Fighting. These lists, while not disproportion ate to the scope of recent fighting, will be far greater than recent totals and will bring the war home to America as nothing else, these officers point out. American casualties for the entire war to the end of July totaled slightly more than 14,000 so far as announced. 200,000 Americans in Fight. Compared with the French and British, the American losses will be small. Seven divisions and two odd regiments are now engaged. Counting replacement units, it is likely that more than 200,000 have been in ac tion. Casualties Probably 10 Per Cent. While the casualties normally run only 2 and 3 per cent it is regarded as quite possible the dead, wounded, missing and prisoners in a conflict so serious as the Soissons-Rheims battle will be 10 per cent or more. KANS. TEACHER KILLED Member of Faculty ot Pittsburg Nor mal Dead of Wounds in France. Pittsburg. Kan., Aug. 1. Lieut James W.

GERMAN TROOPS ARE DEPRESSED BY THE DEFEAT Great Contrast to Attitude Ear lier In Summer. Prisoners Then Strutted Sneered at U. S. and NOW THEY LONG FOR PEACE The Truth Is Beginning To Seep Into Hun Lines. Germans on Flanders Front Fear British Offensive. BY WM. PHILIP SYMMS. With the British Armies In Fiance, Aug. 1. "The Heart Bowed Down"' is the German tune nowadays. German officers and men taken prisoner near Merris, Morlanconrt and east of Amiens are extremely de pressed as a result of the crown prince's failure and General Foch's staggering reply to Ludendorff. After the first few weeks of the German offensive I declared the Ger man morale to- be high higher than at any time. They strutted then in side the prison cages as if they al ready owned the world. They replied even to kindly treatment with con temptuous and condescending smiles. They sneered at American fighters and jeered at American help. Today, I believe it is equally true, that the German soldier afield la more deeply depressed than at any period. Prisoners admit supplies are low and that ammunition is not plentiful. They say it is very difficujto obtain re cruits to fill the ranks of worn down divisions. Food, they report, is get ting scarcer. Instead of a smashing victory they now long for immediate peace. Even the passing of time Is going against them while the allies are growing stronger with each week. Men Begin to Get Truth. Slowly the truth seems to be seep ing Into the German lines. They are beginning to hear that the Americans are not only well represented on the western front, but are also beating the best Prussian troops. They have heard that the crown prince Is re tiring Instead of advancing and that Prince Ruppreoht's offensive against the British was postponed because of this and other factors. From the statements of prisoners some of them obviously feared that the British would assume the offen sive. In short, thoy are very unhan-P5-. I have seldom seen the front so quiet as it has been here. Save for British shelling and the spasmodic bursts of German shells, the front re- semoiea a tun day afternoon in a a country church ward. hunTeacTkove German Leaders Reported To Be Now In Holland. English Papers Score Lans downe's Compromise Letter. Lon on. Aug. 1. Foreign Minister von Kuehlmann and former Chancel lor von Bethmann-Hollweg are rumored to have appeared in Holland, the Mail announced today. The newspaper pointed out this may possibly mean a renewal of the Ger man peace offensive in connection with the new open letter of Lord Lansflowne. Papers Unsympathetic. The morning papers are unani mously unsympathetic with Lns downe's .attitude. The Daily Mail, anti-government, does not comment, but the Northcliffe press severely de nounces the letter. "Xansdowne's new epistle will do nothing but mischief," the News said. "When Lansaowne has persuaded the kaiser and Hindenburg to return to Germany an-i pay for the damage they have done, then peace can be talked ;-"out. The allies and the British stand firm by Wilso-., saying "the agony must not be gone thru again.' M "Should Have Addressed Kaiser." The other newspaper comment In cluded: Sketch "He ought to have address ed his letter to the kaiser." Express "Lansdowne declares the present Is an opportune moment to negotiate peace. He is mistaken' It is opportune to negotiate with the sword." Graphic "For the present, his ut terance will lead to nothing." Chronicle "He wants u; to state bedrock terms. We doubt that Lans downe, If buying a house, would tell the absolute top price he would give." WELCOMES AMERICANS King George Sends Greetings to yanks landing in England. London. Aug. 1.

Great Lakes. 111., Aug-. 1. The great question as to when the war will end has at last been solved, this time by an unknown "seer" who has sent a letter to Assistant Paymaster J. D. Doyle of the Great Lakes Naval Training station, enclosing a table of figures, based on the date of birth, first year of leadership, present age, and. length of office of eight leaders of the principal allies. The Informant is positive the war will end this year. He points out that the total for each leader is 3836 which, divided by two, give 1918. Here are the uncanny figures as published by the Great Lakes Bulletin: President Wilson born 1856 Was elected 1912 Years ruling 6 Years old 82 Total .3836 President ofFrance born 1860 Was elected 1913 Years ruling 5 Years old 68 Total .3836 King of Italy born 1867 Started to rule 1900 Years ruling 18 Years old. 51 Total .3836 King of Serbia born 1844 Started to rule 190:! Years ruling 15 Years old 74 Total .3836 Divide 3836 by 2 and the result is 1918, when the war will end. "Remarkable as the figures may seem,' adds the Bulletin, "any earnest student of the Bluejacket's Manual, who is preparing for his work in sending the 'treat-'em-rough' boys over there with the cold steel argu ment can tell you who the winner will be. and perhaps that is the most important part, after all." j "Which suggests the saying: "Figures don't lie but liars will figure;, and, judging by the number of times Von Hindenburg has figured on .reaching- Paris, he is some figurer." j MURDERED IN K.C.? Edward Thierer of Manhattan Dead at Union Station. Was Found With Skull Frac tured; Pockets Cut Out. Manhattan, Aug. 1.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 1, 118 THE TEUTON RULE MUST BE GRIMED FRENCH WAR AIM Fourth Anniversary Review Made by Former Minister. i Victory Would Mean Restora tion of Serbia and Belgium. FREE SLOVAK AND POLE NATIONS World Will 3fot Be Content With an Untimely Peace. U. S. and France Won't Rest "Until Aims Are Attained. Washington, August 1. France's war aims, summed up by M. Miller and, former minlst2r of war, in a re view of the war in the fourth anni versary of its inception, are expressed in five words: "Prussian militarism must be de stroyed." x Crushing Prussian militarism, ac cording to M. Millerand, will mean: "1 Restoration of Alsace-Lorraine. '2 Reuniting of Italia Irrendentaj "Z Fre uioni of Rumania and Transilvania from Hungarian domina? tion. "4 Restoration of Belgium and Serbia. "o Establishment of an independ ent Czecho-Slovak state and free Po land. "The new world did not enter upon the scene did not cross the Atlantic, does not accomplish the daily miracles at which we are astonished and grate ful witnesses, to content Itself with a bastard or delusive peace. fraught with danger to 11. The United States and France with her, will never ret until our aims are attained. Prussian militarism must be crushed.' DRIVES FORWARD 'Continued from Piige One.t ZEleflv of shells from the 77's anil 105'. The machine guns, with the heavier pieces indicated, were active in an effort to prevent an allied ad vance. The purpose of the American and French attacls, which was in a north easterly direction, is the outflanking of Weumere wood and cutting off the blunt edged salient in the line between Romingny and Cierges. This salient was made most acute by the American advance north from Cierges to Seringes. 1 Outflanking the Enemy. (By the Associated Tress.) American and French troops have begun a turning movement that if successful will compel a German re tirement over a wide sector east of Fere-En-Tardenois at center of tne Soissons-Rheims salient. They have attacked over a front of over three miles on each side of the village of Nesles, apex of the allied wedge north of the Ourcq. Their greatest advance was toward the east where the Americans pushed on some distance from the town of Sergy and approached Chamery. Altho the announced purpose of the attack was the straightening out of the line between Seringes and Cierges. this is really secondary to the out flanking of the Germans to the south ward. The enemy is holding very strong positions nt Roncheres and St lemme. where his line is still less than five miles from, the Marne, and a con tinued advance between 'Nesles andJ Cierges would force mm to iaii oacK to escape being cut off from the rear. Repulse Hun Attack. The Germans attacked the allied lines on heights of Bligny southwest of Rhelms Tuesday night, but were re pulsed. The methods adopted by the Germans since their retirement from the Marne began are being followed by the enemy along the lines of the hard est fighting. Machine gunners, for the most part, man the lines. This may indicate a further retirement of the Germans for machine gunners have borne the brunt of the rear guard fighting during the last two weeks. Along the British front the German artillery has carried out heavy bom bardments at Villers-Bretonneux, east of Amiens, near Bucquoy, on the northern side of the Picardy salient, and in the neighborhood Mcteren and Merris, on the western side of the Lys sector. It is unofficially announced that Czecho-Slnvak forces have occupied the important town of Kkaterinburg, which dominates the northern line of the Siberian railroad running to Eu ropean Russia from Cheliabinsk. It is understood that Germany will break off diplomatic relations with Ukraine as the result of the assassi nation of Field Marshal von Eich horn. This may be preliminary to the dispatch of German forces to Kiev, which, it is said, is contemplated at Berlin. P. P. WOMER, DIRECTOR President of Washburn Heads New Kural High School District.

I i All the weighty questions facing the city government are settled for the present, excepting that of what is to be done about the vender of pop corn who has his stand at the corner of Ninth and Harrison streets, just outside the state house yard.' The popcorn wagon is in the cen ter of the fashionable district of the city: it commands a position of the utmost strategic value for the sale of its product to those who pass on their way to work and back, and to the shoppers. A perfect stream of people face that popcorn stand every day near the beginning and closing of work hours. But the keeper of the shop is not. so the complaint says, always careful about the trash that accompanies an itinerant palace of popcorn. Paper sacks and scraps of the corn blow out t the wagon into the yards of fashionable Topeka. The objection on the part of the residents is on th ground pf insanitary conditions pro duced by the presence of the offending wagon, No definite action has been taken as yet to change the salesman's field of operations.

More Unsigned Circulars Against State Candidates. First Is Attack on Henry Allen, Jfow on W. JPryden. BRYDEN'S RECORDS MODELS 1 State Accountant Says They Are in Excellent Shape. But His Enemies Have Sent Out Cowardly Beports. Altho Kansas has a state law com pelling the signing of all campaign cir culars or docuraentB tending to injure or aid a candidate for office, it has failed to put a ban on the circulation of scurrilous and untruthful stories. In the state house today officials nailed an unsigned attack on the state insur ance department, which tended to in jure W. J. Bryden, actuary, and one of the most widely known insurance men of the state. Many unsigned circulars have been mailed to Kansas in which charges we made that the finances of the state insurance department have never been audited and intimating that funds of the state have been misappropriat ed. Reeords show regular audita of the department by J. E. Caton, state accountant. Not only that, but Caton today declared the department's rec ords were right at the top with the best systems of accounting and book keeping by state officials. Efforts are made to check all state institutions and departments once each year. The last report is under date of Novem ber 8, 1916. In his official review of records, Caton said: "As fees are collected by the super intendent of insurance, receipts are issued therefor, duplicates of which remain In his office in book form. We have -compared his collections as per these duplicate receipts, with the cor responding entries upon his cash bookj and reports thereof to the state audi tor. We found that all collections so recorded have been properly reported to the state auditor and accurately forwarded to the state treasurer, as provided by law." Most Accurate Records. That was Caton's official report. In discussing his personal experience in checking the books of the insurance department, Caton today paid high compliment to the office system. "I can say most emphatically that the state insurance department and the secretary of state's office have the most comprehensive systems and most accurate records of any state house departments," said Caton. "These departments are mentioned Jointly because they annually handle thousands of dollars in fees and col lections. An audit ot their books has always been welcomed and tiwir ac counts have balanced to the penny." Carey J. Wilson, state superintend ent, declared the anonymous attack was circulated to injure W. J. Bryden, who is Republican candidate for superintendent. Bryden has been in tha department under three succes sive administrations and many of the present methods of handling the work were originated by" him. "There has never been a time," Wil son said, "when the department has not been willing to offer its books to the state accountart or any authorized representative of the state. Every nicket of the funds is rigidly account ed for and the unsigned statement is a most cowardly attack, tending only to Injure one of the state's most effi cient emplayes." x This pame system of unsigned mud slinging has been practiced against Henry Allen by his enemies in politics. CITY PROUD of PIG Pork Fattened at T. B. Hospital old to Packing House Today. The dog wagon, ordinarily used for hauling canines to the pound, had a new occupant this morning. The little wagon, with its latticed doors, was used to haul along the streets a big, fat Duroc-Jersey pig, being taken to the packing house. The pig was fat tened at the tuberculosis sanitarium on garbage from the kitchen of the in stitution, where the brute was able to find enough calories in the mixtures to develop some 400 or 450 pounds o bones, meat and snout. The tragedy of his life was the event of his loading into the wagon. which was done by four men without the assistance of running board or derrick. He was paraded this morn ing before the city hall dfficials, who gove themselves all the sirs of success ful stockmen as they surveyed the product of their city and county in stitutional feeding.

Doherty interests in obtaining a twenty million dollar government nitrate plant at Toledo; "Hats off to Frank R. Coates. When he secured one of tha Government's big nitrate plants for Toledo he did something which entitles him to a vote of thanks at least. Millions of dollars are to be expended on construction alone and a good part of this will be distributed in the form of wages of laboring men. To operate the plant will require the labor of five or six thousand men, which means an annual addition to the city payroll. "It is estimated that a plsnt of this character will add fifteen thousand to tha city 'a population. Tha millions earned by the nitrate workers will be distributed among Toledo merchants. To assemble the raw material and ship the manufactured product will furnish employment to mora thousands and means another big payroll." KANSAS NATURAL GAS CO.

"We have received some requests for copies of the Red Cross order rela tive to political activities on the part of Red Cross workers and have sup plied the copies and have said that Mr. Allen resigned from the Red Cross. "The order required a choice be tween service with the Red Cross or candidacy for political office. What ever may have actuated Mr. Allen in resigning from the Red Cross, the fact remains that his connection with it has been the one thing only used by his managers and friends to get votes for him tor governor, in absolute vio lation of the letter and spirit of the Red Cross.

BIG JOB FOR PRINTERS Topeka Shops to Print McAdoo's Name on 75,000,000 Blanks. Anxious as a printer usually is to get business, the local shops have had an offer submitted to them which they are loath to accept. The work in pros pect is the printing of W. G. McAdoo's name on 75,000,000 blanks of the Santa Fe railroad, now in the Topeka storehouse. The work, it is roughly estimated, would require the entire time of several of the largest shops in the city for over a year and cost over $200,000. Printers have suggested to local Sanflp, Fe officials that Director General McAdoo. be prevailed upon to buy rubber sti.- -ps for each of the agents, in order that they might stamp the name on the blanks, for the sake of economy. But the local officials have requested that the printers get part of fths blanks ready -by August 15, altho the bids submitted today will have to 'be forwarded to Chicago end it would be several da. s before the work could be started if it was given the local printers. APPOINT H. IVI. LAING Russell State Senator Placed on Kan sas Tax Commission. TAX AUTOMOBILES Honse Committee Fixes Rate at $10 to $50. tbe Food For Fans BY GEORGE EC PHAIR. (Copyriebtad.) This in Addition to JO Per Cent on Auto Sales. Washington, Aug. 1. A federal graduated excise tax on tbe use of au tomobiles, running from $10 a, year on cars originally retailed at not exceed ing $500, to a $50 tax on $3,000 cars and $20 additional for eaclj $500 above S 3,000, was agreed to Wednesday by the house ways and means committee, which is framing the new $8,000,000.- I 000 revenue bill. The tax applies di rectly to the owners, while the tax of 10 per cent on gross sales of auto mobiles and 6 per cent on gross sates of auto trucks, agreed to Tuesday, ap plied to the. manufacturers, proilucers and importers of cars. The tax on the use of cars is based on the orig inal retail listed price of the cars, re gardless of the year of manufacture. Five Dollars on Motarcycles. The committee also agreed to a tax of 2 cents per gallon on the production of gasoline and a federal excise tax of $5 a year on the use or motorcycles. Members of the committee stated that while the manufacturers' tax and the owners' tax are differentiated, it is generally believed that the owners ul timately will have to pay all the tax. the manufacturers passing on the tax in increased prices. The automobile and motorcycle ex cise tax is expected to yield approx imately $125,000,000, and the gasoline tax $45,000,000. War profiteering was the subject of a prolonged discussion today with technical calculations as to what vari ous schemes would yield in the way of revenue as compared with other revenue plans. There was a disnosi- tion ultimately to agree on some addi tional form of tax to reach large cor porations making heavy profits ihat might not be taxed sufficiently under the excess profits and corporation In come tax rates.

BY JACK VEIOCK. -New York, Aug. 1. Racing is flourishing in spite of the war. The "sport of kings" has taken a new lease on life. It has accomplished a comeback .greater than had ever been expected by its most enthusiastic fol lowers. A harbinger of what has come to pass in American racing was seen sev eral years ago in Europe, before Uncle Samuel thought' seriously of tossing his chateau into the arena. In England, France, and even in Germany, the big racing events were continued, and they drew enormous crowds. The diversion appealed to a greater number of people than er- before. An afternoon at the race track acted as a tonic that was badly needed to the war-worn nerves of the folk at home. In the United States racing is more than holding its own, while every oth er branch of sport has been hard hit. Baseball, erstwhile klng of sport, has been forced into the background as a popular pastime by" the "sport of kings." Unlike other sports, racing embraces but little that can be hindered by the formation of large armies. The thoro breds will be produced from year to year, war or no war. The Jockeys, for the most part, are youngsters of an age that is not affected by the army draft, and the owners and trainers are, as a rule, well past the draft age. Meanwhile there remains a big. sport-loving public at home, ready to patronize ghe sport. Like ether sports, racing has done and is still doing its bit for the Red Cross and other war charities.

The newspapers have received sug gestions from two sources at Washing, ton having the worthy object of econ omy in the use of paper. Many of the suggestions were timely and useful: some were not, but upon the whole they were beneficial because of the emphasis thus plaaed upon the neces- sity for economy. But the practice of economy might well begin at the source of these suggestions. The wasteful use of paper at Washington thru extravagant distribution of pub lic, documents, reports and addresses of public officials, and the lsue of quantities of publicity matter thru va rious bureaus, says the New York Journal of Commerce, is common knowledge. Tons of useless literature are Issued from Washington daily which nobody reads, and which not only Increases congestion of the mails but wastes both material and labor needed in other directions. Very good beginnings could be made in" both economy and Efficiency at the place where both virtues are most insistent ly talked about. The round up of Huns on the Marne probably reminds many of General -sTershing's boys of the old days on the range in Texas. There seems to be nothing for the vacationist to do but stay at home. The advance In the price of shoes keeps pace with the increased cost of railroad travel. Both riding and walking are about equally expensive. The twenty dollar hog seems about Ho play a return engagement. Senator Smoot recently called the attention of the senate to the fact '.hat four tons of print paper are used ev ery, day for the publication of the Of ficial Bulletin, and there are some forty-seven government publicity bu reaus. All of this matter that is of importance to the people Is printed in the newspapers. It is high time, says the Detroit News, that the gov ernment, besides talking of conserva tion of print paper, investigated Its own use of it, to determine how much of the enormous daily waste can be eliminated. AFTER THE WAR. The important business of the hour Is winning the war but time may be taken during breathing spells to take a. peep into the future and plan for what is to follow the establishment of peace. The present is the greatest and meat important period of transition the peoples of the earth have ever seen. After, the war Is ended the entire world will speed up under the just and progressive leadership of American business men. Let us see to It that we do our share in preparing for this much to be desired event. Nothing In American history has accomplished so much In. so short a time as the war has done to lift us out of our provincialism and open the way to American leadership In indus try and finance. Leaders in manufac turing and commerce are doing things today which would have been consid ered impossible five years ago. Econ omy and thrift are becoming the rule miner man me exception. We ate learning the valuable lesson of simple living and clear thinking. The war which has' set Europe b. ck -one hundred years has given America an opportunity to find herself, to realize her strength and to take ad vantage of it to an extent never be fore possible. We are finding hat we can because we must accompl-sh great and permanent results. If, as a nation, we do not accept our chance to take a leading role in future world progress the fault is entirely our own, South America Is clamoring for our products. Canada needs our manu factures. Mexico will remain impo- t tent If w do not assist financially and j commercially. Reconstruction 1 Eu- rope after the war will be rendered i difficult without the active co-opera- tlon of American capital and menu- factures. 1 The next few yean following the j close of the war promise to be the 1 greatest in American history, in the matter of business and Industrial ac tivity and commercial prosperity. WIIX HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? The war has "been In progress four years and there are indica tions that history is about to repeat itself on the Marne battlefield. From the 5th to the 10th of Sep tember, 1814, the destiny of France, and probably of the whole of western civilization, was at stake on the Dtalns of the Marne. The French had ex- pected a German attack to come from the east and had made their disposi tions accordingly. But as von Beth-mann-Hollweg said: "France could wait, but Germany could not;" and so the neutral territory of Be'sium was violated that the road might be shortened from the French frontier to Paris. The defeat x of the French armies and the occupation of Paris was regarded by every man id the In vading host as a matter of a few weeks, and If the war did not end then there would-be time enough to re duce the fortresses of the eSstern front. After taking possession of Antwerp, the German columns, a million strong, with 4,000 field guns, 450 batteries pf heavy artillery and 700 enormous trench mortars rolled like a flood on France. The march was rapid 21 to 24 miles a day. Somewhat exhausted, the bulk of the German armies com ing from the north reached the region between the Aisne and the Marne ear ly in September, Jn the first and sec ond .armies under von Kluck nd Bil low there were 620,000 men who hurled thru the gap at the Oise on rile de France, seemed to be march ing o Paris. On August 30 von Kluck was at Chantllly.'or 22 H miles from the capital, but by September 3 it appeared that his. plans had been changed. When he headed away from Paris in the direction of the Marne, it was perceived that his strategy had j resolved itself into an attack on the i French left with the design of euvel- j oping it and turning the entire French army. Meanwhile, that army, or as much of It as had been engaged in the .orth, succeeded in retiring In good order be fore the German advance. On Sep tember 1, Joffre declared the extreme limit of the retreating movement te-be the Seine, the Aube and the ration north of Bar-le-duc. On the th of the month the commanding officers of the principal French units were warned that- the retreating movement toward the Seine would continue only "in order to execute the operations which will lead to the 'resuming of the offensive by the bulk of our ar mies." Then came the famous mes-sage-of the generalissimo: "The hour has- come to hold at all costs and allow oneself to be slain rather than give way." Von Kluck's design was perceived to be foolhardy by Joffre 'and Gallienl and steps were taken to hurl ugainst the' first German army on September 6 the entire strength of the French left flank. This was made up of three armies, and not as von Kluck seems to have imagined, of only the British army and that of d'Ksperey The sixth French army under Ma- noury formed an angle with the three British army corps under Sir John French, and was In touch, on its right, with the fifth army under General d'Esperey. So It was that Map.oury, disregarded by von Kluck, succeeded In enveloping the first German army with the help of Sir John French and d'Esperey. This was the battle of the Ourcq and was the beginning of the victory of the Marne. Von Kluck's failure was accom panled by violent counter attacks by von Bulow s and Hausen's armies, who tried to throw back Foch and pierce the French center, and by the great thrust of the crown prince and the Duke Albrecht of Wurtemberg on the Saulx-Ornain valley to dislodge the French right wing, the whole se ries of actions ending In the precipi tate retreat of the enemy, thoroly beaten on every side. It is announced that the American Tin Plate company Is about to add twenty-four tin mills to Its plant at Gary, Ind., the extension to cost f 10, 000,000. Today America controls the world's tin plate production. Tommy Atkins's beef stew, the "air-tights" of the Yanks, the sardines of the lortu- guese, and the trench rations of the poilu are packed in tins made from plate "made In America." American tin carries the linseed oil for the al lied airplanes from Argentina to Eu rope, and the kerosene lamp which lights the printed page of the Chinese student of the republican form of gov ernment Is filled from a tin can which came from the United States. -yWhen the can Is emptied It is flattened out to patch the roof over his head. The department of labor has Issued a statement denying that meat prices are higher In Washington, D. C than In any other city In the country, and figures are quoted to show that prices In several other cities are higher than in Washington. But the statement causes little consolation to the con sumer anywhere. General Hell is reported to De lead ing the German retreat. Thus they have it in front of them and behind them. TOPEKA STATB JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU Frederic j. hasktk. Director. Washington, D, p. KEEP FIT FOR WAR. I. The Prevention of Cancer These articles are special reports of the -Half Hour Health Talks" which members of tbe Army Medical corps have delivered before the employes of the war department by order of Sur geon General William Crawford Gorgas. They are probcbly the most authorita tive advice upon medicine and hy giene which has ever been offered the public in lopular form. This talk was delivered by Major W. J. Mayo, Medi cal Corps. N. A., of Rochester, Minn., who is a leading authority ou cancer- Washington. D. C. July 29. In the United States today there are more than 300,000 persons afflicted with cancer, and about 85,000 of these will die during tbe year. The most tragic part of this condition Is the fact that more than half of these deaths are preventable, and half of the remaining fatal cases might have been cured by an early operation. For, while science does not yet know the exact nature of cancer, it does know the conditions which lead to its development, and these conditions may in large measure be controlled. The terrible mortality from cancer is therefore largely due to Ignorance. v Cancer Is an abnormal growth of tissue within the body. Certain cells in the embryonic stage fail to develop and perform their normal functions, and the multiplication of these useless cells from the tumor. What causes the cells to be checked in their normal development Is not yet known, al tho there are eev. ral-THauslble theor ies. But the predisposing conditions which lead to this abnormal growth are known, and may be controlled. Thus cancer nearly always forms In soi-e lesion upon the body, such as a wart, a mole, a bruised or infected. spot. This lesion becomes irritated, and the growth of abnormal cells be gins. The age of the individual plays an important part in susceptibility to cancer; for the common form of can cer is essentially a disease of later life, when some of the tissues have become weakened. In spite of popular opinion to the contrary, cancer is not an hereditary disease. Certain families may have tissues wnicn develop cancer more readily than others; but this is only a small factor in the development of the disease. Since on out or every nine women ana one out of every thirteen men die of cancer, it is not surprising that often several cases should occur In the same family, Jqually fallacious is the belief that cancer is contagious. In the sense that it can- be carried: from one person to another, and there is no proof that it is contagious under any circumstances. Cancer Is said by statisticians to be on the increase. Since the average human life has been lengthened about twenty years since 1860, the number of persons who are of the age most susceptible to cancer has been in creased, and therefore the relative number of cases has grown. But there is no evidence that cancer is more prevalent now than ever before, in the sense that one is rrtore apt to contract it. At the same time,, the treatment of cancer is making cure constantly more frequent. The use of the X-ray in diagnosis was a great forward step. The so-called benign tumors are now often cured by a simple operation. while malignant growths are oftenJ succeseiuiiy removea oy more tnoro operations. Certain occupations may lead to the contraction of cancer. Workers In anallne dyes absorb deleterious -substances, which get into the urine and sometimes cause cancer of the blad der. Coftalt w rkers often have can cer of the lungs from the inhalation of irritating particles of cobalt, and workers In tar develop irritations at points where the tar comes into-contact, with the skiff i-hich may develop into, cancer. Soot has an irritating effect on the skin, and the frequency or cancer or the groin among chim- Lney sweeps Is proof of this. Those who 'work in arsenic and Its prepara tlons sometimes' absorb .enough to overstlmulate the skin, and cancer. especially the hands and feet, may develop. Persons working with the X ray often develop dermatitis of the hands, leading to cancer. There are several kinds of cancer, some of which attack the skin, mucus membranes and secreting glands. while others attack the bones, muscles and connective tissues. It 13 believed that in all of them, some lesion i. e some point of irritation, is necessary before the cancer can form. It is probable that a majority of human beings are immune to cancer, that a lesser number possess a partial 1m munity, while a minority are without the protective agencies which render the lesions harmless. The condition of such persons is described as "precan cerous. The lesions which may lead to can cer are classified is (1) congenital, (2) tra-matlc. (3) chronic Irritative. The first class includes all sorts of moles, warts and benign tumors. The second Includes injuries, such as bruises, wounds and'burns. The third class includes all sorts of mechanical, chemical and infectious irritations, such as those caused by occupation, and is the greatest factor In the production of cancer. The potency of chronic irritation in pro ducing cancer has been proved in many ways. For example. In India there are cattle which pull loads by means of ropes passed thru holes bored thru the base of the horn. Cancer at the base of the horn is very common among these cattle, and Is seldom seen in others. A Copenhagen scientist found that rats in certain American sugar warehouses f re quently had cancer of the stomach. He learned that these rats ate a kind of cockroach which was infected with a parasite that irritat.l the stomachs of the rats, and he was able to produce cancer in other rats by feeding them on these cockroaches. There is abundant evidence that ex ternal cancer in man is nearly always caused by some sort of an irritation, I and scientists believe that internal cancer may often be due to the same cause. In parts of China where the head is shaved by the publie barbers, the razors used are often dull and full of nicks, and the irritation of this scrap ing often causes cancer. Chinese men suffer from cancer of the pharynx and esophagus due to fhelr habit of eating very hot rice, which is thrown Into the mouth forcibly with chop sticRs. Chinese women eat after their lords and masters, when the rice Is cold, and they never have this kind of cancer. In India much cancer is caused by the chewing of betel nuC In some parts of the country women, do not chew the nut, and are free of cancer of the mouth, Cancer of the mouth in civilized countries has been greatly reduced by good dentistry. Eighty-five per cent -of the eancere of the lip occur In smokers. Formerly clay pipes. rhich became very hot, were much used, and therj has been a notable reduc tion in the number of 'cancers of -the lip since the elav pipe has gon,e out of fashion. Smoking, however, is the cause of most cancer of the lip; the tongue and the floor or tne moutn. In Khurdistan. India, the natives wear baskets filled with hot coals across their abdomen a io protect them from the eold, and ti. 're than 10 per cent of all tbe -cancer in that region forms in the abdomen and groin. while In other countries such caneere are very rare. Gall stones, which cause' a ehronie irritation, are found in 85 per cent of all cases of cancer of the gall-bladder. Locomotive engineers and fire men frequently livs cancer or mo skin, due to exposure to the heat ef the firebox. Ca-icer of the breast in women is believed to be largely due to the irritation of clothes, and espe cially of corsets. Among people who leave the breast uncovered, cancer of the breast is extremely rare. One-third of all the cancer in civil ised men occurs In the stomach, altho this is not true of animals or prlmi-. tive peopje. It seems not improbable that the taking of very hot food and drink by civilized people-jnay be the cause of this. One of the grsat difficulties In the treatment of cancer is the popular, at titude toward it. Many persons be lieve that cancer is hereditary and carriea a stigma with it. Hence, many who have been operated upon and cured of cancer conceal the fact, and only those cases who die become known. This has resulted in an un justified pessimism with regard l thai possiDimy or curing tne disease. The steps which the layman can take to protect himself from this dis ease are obvious from what has al ready been said. Causes of irritation should be avoided, and if the occupa tion makes this impossible, the possi bility of cancer should be kept in mind, and the advice ef a physician sought. Small tumors, moles, warts, abrasions and Injuries which tail to heal should be closely -Watched and shown to the physician. Gall-atones jnd ulcers should be treated as soon m uiey are aiscoverea. ii tnese le sions are not neglected, cancer, mav be prevented, and if taken in the ear ly stages. It can often be cured. Ig norance and neglect constitute jthe greatest dangers. Name in tbe News. Magyars is the original name for the Hungarian people.

DOROTHY DLX TALKS BY DOROTHY DEC World's Highest Paid Woman Witter. The Lover's Litany a. Probably no man before marriage ever Inquired Into the state of health of the girl he Is courting, "or tries to find out whether she has got tbe'klod of nerves that make a wife easy going and comfortable to live with, but after marriage that is the thing that he wishes most, that he had found but in time. And a woman's questions to a man would be just as different as the ones ne asks her. No-woman after marriage would ever ask a man if she was th first woman he ever loved. She would ask him if she -was the last, because she would have found out that a man only loves for the time being anyway,, and she would know that men don't treas ure dead loves as women do. They forget them. Nor would the woman vivisect hla soul as girls alwavs do the souls fit the men with whom they are in love. She would devote her energies to try ing to find out what sort of a dlfosl- nou us man naa. wnetner ne was grouchy or good tempered; whether he was overbearing and tyrannical or gentle and chivalrous: whether he waa tne sort rr a man who thought that women were desiarned bv the Lord to be men's --laves and playthings or the aina or a man wno would regard a wife as a regular human being and be willing to divide flfty-flfty with her. For the woman would have found out that not every man who talks loudly about his soul has got one; that many of the most poetic love makers are the poorest performers when it comes to expressing their affection In deeds an-l that many a man who swears to a girl that he asks nothing of fate but the privilege of holding her lily white hand, makes her take in washing to support him after he has married ner. Neither would a maiden ask a vouth If he would commit suicide on her grave If sh should die. She would in quire of him if he loved her well enough to hustle out and work for her, and she would ascertain his views on the allowance Question. For experience would have' taught her that, after all, love Is just the meringue on the pudding of life. Underneath there has got to t sugar, raisins and spice and a lot of other substantial things that cost money, and unless a man tan provide these the meringue part goes flat and flabby. Girls consider It indelicate to ask what sort of a money maker he Is. and if he believes that a wife should be regarded by her husband as a partnei entitled to -a fair share of the family income; or' whether he holds that a wife should do the mendicant act with a begging bowl fcefore her lord and master for every, penny she needs for herself and the housekeeping. Yet she finds out. after she has married, that on these two points hangs her happiness and comfort far more than they do upon his abstract, sentimental attitude towards her. No. none of us would ask of our betrothed tho same questions after marriage that we ask before. The lover's litany runs:: "Db you love me? Will you always love me?" r. The married man or woman"- litany would run: "Have you an amiable disposition? Have you a goo4 diges tion? WIlLyou be reasonable and, try to make m comfortable?"

EVENING STORY The Hand of Fate. 'i BY HILDA MORRIS. It waa raining that morning and a Lgray pall of ennui seemed to- hang over cissy's empty aay mat streicata ahead. Of eourse, she should not have felt bored with so many things to do- dusting, cleaning, sewing, all the tasks demanded by the care of her brother Tom s new house. But sne was Dorea. Girls of twenty-two want more than household tasks to dream of, and more than blank gray' landscapes to look out upon. Tom's house was a new and attrac tive one, built at the very edge of a new "additipn." Blank flats of ghostly streets, designated by white signs bear- ing grandiose names, stretched about it on all sides. Some day, of course, there would be other bungalows, color ful and bordered with trim lawns. But today Cissy stopped to lean upon her broom and wipe away a tear as she gazed out at the flat prospect, If only something would happen! Anything to break tne monotony. She strained her eye to look down the road that led toward the city. If someone would even drive past it would be something. And she looked as she saw the faint speck of an approaching automobile. It was a miserable day to be abroad, the roads were deep with mud and puddles. But the loW yellow racer came on at a good pace, apparently disregarding anything so trivial as the weather. Why, it's Morton Sims' car!" Cissy said aloud to herself. "I wtnder what he's doing out here." Morton Sims was the brother of Tom's fiancee. Cissy hat met him once or twice in town. He was a talL brown-haired fellow- with piercing brown eyes that always made her drop her own, for some strange reason. He must be going to the Country club or to Milton. Quite safe In the assur- ance that he would pass her by. Cissy, apron-clad, still leaned upon her oroom ana watcnea. But he did not pass bv. He would have done so had it been possible, but the mud, like some detaining messen ger ol ate, held Mm fast outside the door. He got out and nulled and cuffed he got In again and tried to over-ride Fate; he got behind and tried to push, but the car stuck fast. Cissy watched in a growing flutter of interest and determination- t "If ho can't get it out," she mur mured to herself, "perhaps he'll want to come In here to 'phone or some thing. I ought to ask him to." Hastily she took off her apron and stowed away the broom, throwing an other log on the fire that blazed cheer ily in the big fireplace. She glanced about the cosy living-room. It was all in order and very attractive. He couldn't say. If he came in, that she was not a good housekeeper. Or that she didn't look neat herself, either. Her pink morning gown was crisp and as bright as the color In her cheeks. and the damp weather made the little curls about her face more enticing than ever. Very shyly she opened the ironc aoor ana cauea to mm. You seem to be stuck." she said knowing very well that it was a rath er stupid thing to say, in face of the evidence. "Would you like to come In and 'phoneyfor another car to pull you UUL I Why. Miss Morrow!" he exclaimed. turning from his inspection of the vel low ear. "I didn't know that you lived here! Yes, I do seem to be stuck fast. and I should like U use your 'phone, if you don't mind." The 'phone was in the hall, and Cissy fluttered back to the fire while he used it. So. when he was thru phoning, he found her seated there with the red glow on her face, the nign back of a quaint old chair f ram ing her yellow head. "They can't send out another car for an hour or so." he explained. don't want to be a nuisance. Miss Mor row, x m airaia Oh. you murt stay here bv the fire!" she exclaimed quickly. "You look soaked thru now. Why do you anve on eucn an awiui aay any how?" 4 He laughed a Httle bitterly. "Because I was bored. This is holiday, you know, and the office is closed, and my rooms are awfully Dieak ana gloomy on a day like this. A fellow gets lonely sometimes." Yes, I know," she assented quickly, and then there fell an odd silence be tween them, as tho each had revealed a little more than was quite neces sary, wnen ne epoke again, it was after his wandering eyes had taken in ail tne cozy comforts of the home like room. "You have a pleasant place here,' no commented. "it s 'torn s. 1 sup pose. Christine has told me about it, but I never knew exactly where was. Christine is awfully in love with your Drother." "Of course! Who wouldn't be?' she laughed back. "And Tom is aw- fully In love with your sister, too. Ana bo am i. "I'm"sure you'll get on together.' "Oh, yes, but I shan't stay with them. It wouldn't be right. Young marnea people ought to have thel: nomes to themselves. I shall go away, "wnere.'" ne asked, as IfSJt were matter of vital concern to him; "Oh, I don't know yet. To be nurse, perhaps, or a teacher." Cissy's eyes were on the Are. and she did not know that he was watch ing her, noting the little quiver of her chin as she spoke. He thought that he had never seen a girl before who was so dainty, so like a flower in the dark forest of a rjloomy day. He had watched her many times before when she did not know it. But he had never imagined her so lovely as she appeared before the fire. What an at mosphere of rest and quiet, of homely cumiorx, sne naa made in this little room! What a feeling of comfort she could bring into a fellow's life! She would, furnish it with new ideals, new thoughts, as bright and tine, as care fully placed, as the colorful furnish ings of her houae. And to think that she was going away, that her 'chln quivered at the thought of it, that she didn't know exactly where she was going! "Oh, I wouldn't do that,? he urged a little awkwardly! "Nurses have an awfully hard time, and I can't Im agine you as a teacher. There's just one thing that you ought to do, and that is "What?" Cissy thought she knew what he was going to say, and her color deepened.. "Yon ought to e keeping a houae of your own, and making it look like this one. You ought to be married." "Oh. of course," she laughed. "That Is what they say of every girl." "YesJ but you are different. You haven't known me very long. Cissy, but I have felt, ever since that Chris tine first introduced us, a tho I had known you from the beginning of time. I've watched you everywhere. I've dreamed about you and yes, even written noetry that I didn't have 1 the courage to send. And I've asked SUGGESTIONS TO OUR t ifrj js V jS to "c mm tivg ne sows "txa j

Christine so many questions that she thinks I m eaten up with curiosity. I guess there's no use trying to conceal it. Cissy, I'm in love with you. I have been for a long time!" Cissy could not look away from the fire; her eyes were too full of mist nad wonder for even him to see them. She spoke in a strange, trembling voice that, for happiness, she should not have recgnized as her own. "How very strange!" she said. "-Be cause because I've felt the very same way about you!" And outside, m the rain, the yellow car sank deeper into the mud that hel dlt like the strong detaining hand of Fate, (Copyright; 1918. by the McClure News paper -ayaaicaie.) HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS BY MBS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON. 7 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in love wltA a young man who seems to care for me, in fact he tells me he loves me every time he Is with me. He is very fond of hugging and kissing and we always disagree, for somehow I don't think It exactly right. I often wonder If that is alljk cares to come for. He Is nice to me and he Is exceed ingly nice to other girls, which of course keeps me in doubt. Last year two fortune tellers told ma altho he loved me dearly we would never marry. Still I don't believe them. We have agreed a numker of times to discontinue our friendship, but he never waits long until he asks to come back. J can't refuse him and I frequently break dates for him. For a long time, say a year, I have tried to love others but all in vain. 1" have found others that I think I love, but he always comes first with me. I Do you think I could be happy If I should marry the One I love next best to him? This friend Is perfectly wonderful to me. Since the one I love best has other girls and devotes much of hlstlme .with them, what shall I do? LOUISE. You conll not be happy married to one man and in love with another. You will pYobably outgrow your love for the boy. At any rate remain single until you can love the man you marry. Do not break engagements with other boys for the boy you love. He will care more for you if he is not sure he can have you. Give him up for some one who is mentally con genial if a'l he cares about is kiss ing. Dear Mrs. Thompson: My boy friend wants to give me a ring for my birthday, but ha has not told me he loves me and we are not engaged. Do you think it would be all right for me to accept it? T. R. N. A girt should not accept jewelry from a boy unless she is engaged to him. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think It IS better to wash'the hair ev ery two weeks or .to put talcum pow der In It to take out the oil THANK YOU. It is better to wash the hair.

Yesterday was a day of sheer hard tn-an-out fighting on the American front, telegraphs Reiner's correspondent on the front north of the Marne. He says that the final capture of Seringes by the Amer icans was an especially creditable XV achievement. After the Americans took the village on Monday, the Germans made no in fantry attack on the place, but kept up a constant artillery and machine gun fire to drive them out. This continued all day on Tuesday and towards even ing the enemy seemed to think that the spirft of the defenders might be possibly broken and then they began to emerge from the Kesles forest in a way- that seemed to forecast a fresh attempt to take the village. Of the fighting which ensued the correspon dents writes: Yonks Wanted Fipht to Finish. "The Americans after three days of Solicits your support and vote Primaries, August 6 W. IV1.

J v pficws to-andNfro fighting thru villages had learned subtlety and were determined to have a real fight to a finish. I They consequently withdrewas If retiring from Seringes and the Germans crept down from the high ground convinced they had their opponents beaten. Ad ditional German troops came pouring In until the town waa occupied it never had been before. "But as the new occupants began to organize their defenses, they found that bullets appeared to be coming In from three sides of the village and it was not long before they discovered that the Americans while withdrawing from the front of the town had com menced an encircling movement on both sides, thus forming a ring almost completely around it. Guard Would Not Surrender. "Then came tragic fighting. The Prussian guard had voted not to sur render and their opponents were just as anxious to see the thing thru. It was an affair of small arms, but the American proved to be better shots and slowly picked off 'men here and there. "Then the American began to ad vance and slowly their encircling ring closed about it. As the ring drew closer and the defender saw their doom approaching, they redoubled their fire but still the Americans came nn unfalteringly. "When the Americans reached the precincta of the village, their fire ceased and with one wild yell they closed with the foe. The fierce up roar suddenly gave place to a strange Silence as man grappled with man. Only the clash of steel on steel and the groans of the stricken could be heard. Issue Never In DoubtT "The issue was never in doubt for en instant. At this kind of fighting the American is more than equal to any Prussian guardsman and in a lit tle more than ten minutes all was over. Except for a few German pris oners every German In the village had breathed his last. Such was the final capture of Seringes. "During the night the enemy twice attempted to retake Sergy but each time he was repulsed with heavy losses. Then he made a fierce assault on Meurcy farm, east of Seringes, which was piled with the dead which he had lef there the day before, when every man defending it died at his post. There again the enemy was unsuccessful, tho not until steel bad crossed steel in the big farmyard and the heaps of German slain had been doubled in the ruins about it. Caso of Man Against Man. "This was classic fighting indeed man against man, and the better to win. There waa no call for quarter. The pride of the professional soldier was up against the pride of the free man. both preferring death to sur render. "Later in the morning the fighting extended still further eastward and in every case the Germans who at tached were annihilated.. Later came the attack on, Eeringes and an attempt at the same time to drive the allies from hill 187, west of Seringes. "There for the first time, since the allies crossed the Ourcq. the Germans may be said to have taken the offen sive. All thru the day's fighting the enemy's airplanes attempted in the most daring manner to assist in the battle. Early in the morning six enemy plane succeeded in penetrating as far as the La Croix Blanche farm. I near La Fere forest.

CITY IS IN SORROW Everywhere in Topeka Tbere Is Grief Over Death of l'liit BiUard. Everywhere in Topeka are heard regrets regarding the death of To peka's fearless and beloved aviator. Lieut Phil Billard. On the streets, in the offices, in the public buildings and in the homes the story is the same. And mingling with the sorrow in the hearts of Topekans there is pride the pftde that is reserved for a fellow citizen who made the supreme sacri fice for his country and the cause of democracy. A number of clubs and societies have drafted resolutions expressing their sympathy and voicing the senti ment of the city. The city commis sioners at their meeting Tuesday morning adopted the following resolu tion: "News of the death of Phil Billard, which occurred in the line of duty on July 25, 1018. has come as a great shock to the neonle of Toneka and vicinity. The death of this intrepid young aviator is payment of one of the first installments of the price this nation is paying for Daman liberty. As such it touches the heart of the community who knew him best and lays the burden of a great sorrow upon, them; therefore be it "Resolved, By the city commissioners of Topeka, speaking officially for the city of Topeka and unofficially for the hundreds of citizens who knew Phil Billard inti mately and well, that we deeply deplore his death and extend our heartfelt sym pathy to his father, the Hon.

That this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the proceedings of the commission, and that a copy be presented to the Hon. J. B. Billard." A resolution adopted by the Shaw nee county Democratic club, read, in part, as follows: "We know the depth of his patriotism, the measure of bis ability, the quality of bis courage, his !oe of fnir play and his dislike of sham and oppression, and that he was willing to risk all, even his life, hnttltnir for the principles he believed in. "His personal friends in Topeka where he was born and where he lived until he went to France, loved Mm. Mis renow citizens admired bis courage and respected him.

"made possible his unusual service and loyalty to his country in a time of need when few were as pre pared as he to serve.

The marriage of Miss Hazel Howe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira O. Howe, of 1107 Tyler street, and Capt. Harry Russell Leland, of Camp Funston, will take place this evening at 7:30 o'clock at MeClintock chapel, of Grace cathedral. The Rev.

A. Campbell. "A Resolve," by Sontenaillea, will be played follow ed by "Meditation from Thais, by Massenet, and "Farewell at Morn," by Besaard. The bridal march will be the one which Mrs. Campbell used by Morosinl. and during the ceremony Mrs. Campbell will play "Intermezzo"' from Cavallerja Rusticana. The bride will be married in her traveling suit of dark blue serge, worn with a white Fatin blouse and a Mack velvet hat The bride and bride groom will feave immediately after the ceremony for an eastern trip, after which they will be at home at Man hattan while Captain Leland is sta tioned at Camp Funston.

The Alpha Phi sorority will occupy the It. D. Whittemore home in College avenue this winter. The Whittemore home is one of the most attractive pJaces in the College Hill neighbor hood and very appropriate for a soror ity house, both on account of its size and location. It is only half a block from the campus, is situated well back in a large yard and is surrounded with beautiful trees. Mr. and Mrs. Whittemore and their daughter have taken a house for the winter at 1322 College avenue. "We are learning to be soldiers," a 10-year-old brother of a soldier in the .property division wrote in a letter to Camp Funston this week. The boy told of the lessons learned by his father in visiting the mess hall p.t one of the quartermaster barracks, rhere each soldier carries dishes at the con clusion of every meal from the tables to the kitchen. These.--boys were told by their father on his return from Funston, "Your older brother in the army is doing that and you can help your mother in that way." For use in mock initiation. If such things still sexist in any of the sorori ties, an excellent substitute Tor the sugar mentioned in a morning paper, is fly paper and beans. This is xmost effective "substitute," especially if the initiate is forced to appear without her shoes. 4 4f 4f.

Thrift in using fats means wasting none. It means making the least amount go the longest way. Above alU it means saving every scrap of fat that comes into the kitchen in the form of trimmings from meat and suet. Careful housewives have always saved these fats and prepared them for cooking. If all housewives would form this thrifty habit not only would America have no need to fear a fat shortage, but the allies could be amply supplied from our stores. In rendering fats for cooking the following things are useful to Know: .Grind the fat if necessary, and soak It several hours in water that has one teaspoon of salt to every quart. Drain off the water and try out the tat in the top of a double boiler over wter. Then strain thru a fine wire strainer or cloth and store in covered vessels 'n a cool place. To deodorize fats, grind and soak them in salt water (one teaspoon of salt to every quart of water).. Then to every pound of fat add one-half cup of sour milk, preferably clabbered. This will not only deodorize the fat, but clarify it also. If necessary try out the fat, or heat It thoroly in a dou ble boiler, strain, and after cooling re move the fat from the liquid. Some fats need but little clarifying. Heat them slowly, put in a few slices of potatoes, and let them brown. Then strain the fat and cool. For fats that contain Impurities the following is the simplest method of clarfying. To every cup of fat, add one quart of water and boil vigorously for five minutes. Let cool.- Remove cake of fat and scrape off any particles clinging to the underside. Raw potato peelings (one cupful), and one-fourth cup of egg shells if added at the boil ing point will help settle the particles. A pinch of soda will help to whiten the fat. If the fat is to be kept, any water left in it may be removed by placing it in an iron frying pan and letting it stay in oven until water has evapor ated. Cod and brisket suet need not be softened: but many fats like beef, kid ney, lamb and mutton may be softened by melting together or by rendering together two parts of hard fat with one OlIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHlnn Complete Assortment Materials such as Geor and Organdies.

Your lack of cordiality when you meet her will soon convey to her your wishes. It is never necessary to stop bowing on the street to a person with whom you have been on speaking terms; and well-bred people do not resort to such means, when they wish to drop an undesirable acquaintance.

Half Bushel (Political Advertisement) Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) The Minaret Tunic Is Exploited In a Moderate Form In the Mid-Summer I'agliioiis, Iiccan.se It Is a Part of the Accepted Silhouette. New York.- One might aay that Bagdad had again influenced the fashions. The silhouette of the !tour Is quite Arabian, if one thinks in terms of man's fashions instead of woman's. The belted outside blouse, $vith its outstanding hem, the narrow skirt and the pointed shoes give one a fantastic impression of the costumes in the "Arabian Nights" as illustrated by Dulac. Dark blue silk jersey minaret gown embroidered in gray Angora. Cap of gray Angora with blue quill. Dull red sash knots at the back. The story of the minaret Is too well known to be retold. Paul Poiret told me himself, at the moment when this minaret tunic became the fashion of two continents, that he never was more astounded in his career a3 a de signer. He designed it for the play; It was reproduced with great effect on the stage in the first of the Arabian cos turnery plays; and then it was taken up by some French woman who want ed to exploit in in the Avenpe des Acacias- We wore it, we liked It. Today we take it up again. It was brought Into fashion almost simultaneously in Paris and New York. It is yet in tha hands of the exclusive, but as it is to be introduced in a popular play, it will probably become the fashion of the masses again. Silhouette From One of Pulac's Drawings. The woman who wears this minaret tunic well and indulges in strong color schemes, looks uncommonly like the Dulac drawings. This tunic is not a 'jp4 4t( 1 MESS part of the skirt, as it once was, but is a garment that drops from the shoul ders and is girdled with a splendid sash. It would never have had its present significance, or contributed to a startling silhouette, if it had been worn with anything but the narrow, conservation skirt of this summer, Its flaring hem needs the contrast of the small circle of the skirt at the ankles. It is the big circle revolving around the small one which gives piquancy to the figure. The passion for wool embroidery which has spread over the land, and the Persian or Arabian designs which have come into fashion, contribute in no small measure to the feeling that these costumes were inspired by Bag dad. Naturally, the inspiration sprang from a different source than the one that gava the first minaret tunic to fashion. It is the entrance of the allies into Bagdad that has hung fire in the mind of the French designers, until it burst out in this Arabian cos tume. Demure Bagdad Costumes In Modern Jersey. The American woman has taken worsted jersey to her heart in a most warm-hearted fashion. She now ranks it with serpre and satin, and it serves most of her every day needs. The fact that gowns of this fabric are sold from fifteen dollars upward be cause the material Is easy to get. has not diminished the enthusiasm of the fastidious woman. She knows it is good. It wears well, it does not crush, it holds its color. What more can one ask in these ceaselessly active days?' There are also silk Jersey gowns which the French and high class dressmakers over here ins'ist upon, and they are worn by wpmen who can pay the' price, especially when they are made in a novel and extraor dinary manner. The sketch shows such a gown. It is of dark blue silk jersey, and Its flaring tunic is boldly embroidered in gray Angora. There is a deep, Indian red sash about tha waist which is carelessly knotted at the back with two shorts ends. The skirt of blue jersey is made up of two narrow flounces. The hat, or rather "Blue Devil" cap, which is "worn with this jersey gown, is of gray Angort, with a blue quill run thru the middle. The Blue Devil never poses his cap In this for ward manner, but the American wom an adopts the shape and then ar ranges the soft crown to suit her face. EAT AT SAME TABLE lluns anil Allied Soldiers Meet but Do Jot Fight In Russia. (Correspondence of the Associated Tresa.) Svanka, Russia, June 15. -i)thins more serious than good natured taunts pass daily here between men who, within a few months, may be exchang ing bullets on the western front. This little town, approximately 100 miles east of Petrograd, is the cross- j j ,j. roads where meet allied soldiers on the way home from Russian and Ru returning German and Austrian pris oners freed from the prison camps of Siberia. Svanka is the junction of the Transsiberian and Murmansk 'rail way lines.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THUPSD AY EVENING. AUGUST 1, 1918 These City Physicians Explain Why They Prescribe Nuxated Iron TO MAKE HEALTHIER WOMEN AND STRONGER, STURDIER MEN Now Being Used By Over Three Million People Annually By enriching: the blood and Treating- thousands of new red 'blood cellH, It often quickly transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissue and pallid rheeks. of weak, annemie men and women into a glow of health. Inrreases the strength of delicate, nrrvous, run-down folks In two weeks time in many instance. It la conservatively estimated that over three million peo unnualiv in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. -I .tWli astonishing results have been reported from its use Tbvth by doctors and aymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country have been naked to explain why thy prescribe it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms of inorganic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given be- lr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, savs; "There can be no vigorous iron men or tcalthv rosy-cheeked women without iron. Failor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic mftj and women is pale; the flenh flabby. The muscles 'a-k tone, the brnln fags and the memory fails and they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and mel ancholy. When the Iron goes from the blooft of women the roses go from their cheeks. I have strong ly emphasized the fact that doctors ?hould prescribe more or- fanlc iron Nuxated ron for their nerv ous, run-down, weak, haggard looking pa tients.'' lr. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon of the City of Chicago arid former House Surgeon, Jefferson Park Hospital. Chi cago, in commenting on Nuxated Iron, says: "This remedy has proven through my own tests jf it to excel any prepara tion I have ewr used for creating red blood. building up the nerves, strength ening the muscles and correcting digestive dUorders." lr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of P-ellevue Hospital (Outdoor Iept.). N. Y., and the Wpst'heste County Hospital, said: "In my opinion a careful examination of the formula of Nuxated Iron bv any physician or pharmacist should convince him that it is to be placed among the very highest class and most strictly ethical preparations known to medical B'-ience. It excels anything I have ever used for building up the system and in creasing the red blood corpuscles. thereby enriching and! fortify ing the blood against the ravages of dls ease." )T. Schuyler C.

Eacn dose of two tablets of Nuxated Iron contains one and one-half grains of organic iron in the form of Iron peptonate of a special specific standard which in our opinion pos sesses superior qualities to any other known form of iron. By using other makes of Iron Peptonate we could have put the same quan tltv of actual iron in the tablets at less than one-fourth the cost to us. and by using me tallic iron we could have accomplished the same thing at less than one-twelfth the cost; but by so doing we must have most certainly ltnini1 tTii r t hrn neii tic efficaCT.
