"Our methodical pressure war rartts the hope that the whole triangle formed by Lassigny, Ribecourt and Noyon soon will be occupied," an official state ment declared this afternoon. London, Aug. 14. The town of Lassigny, on the southern part of the Picardy battle front, for which the French have been struggling over the hills to the west and south, has beer, captured by them, the Pall Mall Ga zette today says it understands. The capture is reported to have t.ken place this morning. The news of the fall of the town has not been officially confirmed. Press on Toward Xoyon. Paris. Aug. 14 (1:05 p. m.). Gen eral Humbert's army operating on the southern end of the Picardy line is reported today to be progressing steadily toward Noyon. The desper ate German defense of the-Chaulnes-Roye road" has caused 'delay in the storming of the Noyon position, which is now said to be Impending. The army of General Rawlinson, which is holding the line just to the north o the French positions, is meet ing most desperate resistance along its whole front. The Germans seem determined to retain the Chaulnes heights at all costs. Germans Use Many Machine Guns. On the French Front in- France, Aug. 13. The Germans 'are combat ing the French In the Lassigny region generally with machine guns, which are as numerous as soldiers. The val leys and woods which the French Rtust traverse are toeing flooded with mustard gas. The French, however, are advancing thru the valleys by in filtration. The German tactics indi cate that the main enemy force is re tiring upon a defensive line not far distant. The French success today in gain ing important local positions south east of Lassigny gives prospect of complete success in overcoming the ma.-fcif of Lasoipny. Huns Bring Up Guns. I By the Associated Press.) With the British Army in France, Aug. 14 (10:30 a. m.). There is no cl anse in the situation on the new bomnie battle front this morning ex cept for the fact that considerably increased artillery fire indicates that the enemy has tirally decided to bring up more of his guns. Various small artillery concentra tions have sprung up during the last j few hours and are now active in firing on some points within the British lines, uch as Yauvillers, Framoiville, Proy art, Lihons, Dernancourt and the for ward areas south of the Villers-Bre-tonneux-Chaulnes railway. The Germans have also subjected the valley north of Morlancourt to heavy gas shelling and have similarly treat ed Harbonnicres and the Gressaire wood region. No further counter at tacks by the enemy are reported. In the region of Bray, north of the Fomme, as well as immediately sooth of the river, the British have been ac tively straightening and pushing for ward their lines. Northwest of Bray, the British raided the enemy lines and found them unoccupied. Kxcept for a little increase in the raiding activity by both sides, which Is customary immediately following a battle for the purpose of ascertaining possible- changes ir dispositions, the remainder of the British front is In a normal state. French Gained Two Miles. (By the Associated Press.) With the French Army in France, Aug. 14 (1 p. m.) The Germans now are in Plemont, about a mile south east of Lassigny, to which they re tired, following a new advance by the French. General Humbert's army moved forward two miles yesterday and took the St. Claude farm, which makes the hold of the French on the southern part of the Thiecourt plateau secure. At Plemont the Germans found po sitions all ready to receive them and were able to off strong resistance. The enemy took Plemont during the fighting early in ."ue and their old trenches there are still organized with wire entanglements. French Make Progress. (By the Associated Press.) While there have been no definite reports of a resumption of the drive against the German positions on the southern end of the Picardy battle line, dispatches from Paris this after noon would seem t to indicate that fresh progress has 'ieen made there by General Humbert's army.

A German submarine, approaching the very gates of New York harbor, sank the oil tanker Frederick R. Kellogg off tho Ambrose channel last night. Thirty five members of the crew brought her today reported that seven others are missing. These, survivors were picked up by an American steamship. The Frederick R.

The Walrus left this port at 11 o'clock yesterday vheaded for the Georges banks.

Without giving the submarine a chance to fire again. Captain Morrisey rang for full speed ahead, and headed for the raider in aij effort to ram and sink her. The submarine submerged.

NEARlCElAMlNE Shortage to Be Acute, in Kan sas by End of Month. Food Administrator Asks Every Person to Conserve. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 14. An Ice famine is impending in Kansas and unless every person saves all the Ice possible there probably will be a se vere shortage te-'i re the end of the month, it was stated at federal food administration headqur.rters today. the stubborn defense of the Chaulnes Roye road has delayed operations, the storming of the Noyon positions Is im pending.

The infantrv activitv hero Tuesday was comparatively ouiet. Field Marshal Haig reports, but there seems to be little doubt that the Brit ish are only awaiting a favorable op portunity to again hit the German line. Mile and a Half Nearer Noyon. In the hill and wood region between the Matz and the Oise, the French have made appreciable gains and are reported unofficially to be holding the important massif of Lassigny against heavy German attacks. North of Gury the French are .fighting forward in the parks south of Plessier de Roye. while to the east they have reached Belval. one and one-half miles south of Lassigny. At Belval the French outflank the western end of the heights south of Lassigny. East of Belval the Germans apparently have been able to hold th Prrh tn v,Ai Along the west bank of the Oise the French have gained one and one-half miles toward Novon. German prisoners taken at Belval numbered 177 and they declared they had been ordered to hold on at all costs. This high ground is important to the ;ncmy because French guns placed there could command all the terrain northward toward Boye and eastward toward Noyon. Would Have to Retire.

Instructions were sent to all Kan sas draft boards today by Charles S. Huffman, adjutant general, calling for registration August 24 of all men In this state who have reached the age of 21 years since June 5. The registra tion will be held independent of the big general registration of men from IS to 45, which will probably be held September 5. Estimates in the adju tant general's office show that Blight ly more than 3.000 Kansans will be enrolled under the new order. In June. 1917. when the state regis- tered all men between the ages of 21 and 31 years, a total registration of slighUy more than 151000 was re- eorded. The registration of June 5, this year, when all young men who had become -21 years old since the 1917 registration, enrolled 12.521 men. It is probable that 3,000 men will be registered August 24. Of this number 1,500 to 2,000 are expected to be eli gible for advance classifications. Arrangements will be made imme diately by all local boards and it is believed the special registration will be handled without friction. All men who have attained the age of 21 years since June 5 and on or prior to August 24, will be required to register Local beards were instructed to enroll regis trants between the hours of 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. Following the registra tion this month, the general registra tion under the new selective service act will be held early next month probably September 5. Order From Washington. Washington, Aug. 14.

September 5, the date originally set for the big registration of men in cluded under the new man power bill, will be changed because in a number of states primary elections will be held on that day. It was officially stated by Provost Marshal General Crowder that the object of the new registration Is to keep class 1 full during the fall months, pending regis tration and classification of the new millions to be added under the man power bill.

GUARDS OUT MH SHOTGUNS Drastic Move to Protect Farms Must Be Undertaken. One Ad in State Journal Smokes Out Mature Victims. 'Watermelon raids, to a certain ex tent, are expected from the barefoot boy overflowing with the stories of the wild and woolly west. But for grown men, and boys of eighteen and nineteen years, such depredations are unexpected for the reason .that men of this age should know better. A statement covering these points was made at the State Journal office this morning by J. C. Banta, a promi nent melon grower north of the city. Banta said that following his adver tisement In the State Journal offering a reward for the persons who had ruined a good percentage of his water melon crop that fifteen -boys and men, all of. them more than. .18 years old, Jad been caught in the melon patches, pxita of these' men paid: damages to escape the- publicity of arrest and a court trial. But the threatened arrest of these fifteen men has not stepped the raids, Banta said today. It is absolutely necessary,, he stated, that he and other melon growers hire a corps of guards to watch the patches thru the nights. Banta said that the guards are armed with shotguns. Couldn't Walt for- Ripening. Speaking of the destruction the men have caused in their raids on the melon patches ear the city, Banta asserted that the forays began very early in the year before the melons were ripe. The men, he said, tramped thru the patches ii, search of. the rare, melon which was ripe, and on their way stepped on the vines. between the forming melons and the parent vine. The least injury to one of the stalks means the death of the melon on that stalk. Banta said, and as a result there are thousands of melons In the patches which will never ripen and are fit for nothing but hog feed. Banta asserted that in his case alone the loss was not lesrs than $500 from the results of the heedless trajriplin to death of his melons, tip until to day, not a single n.an under 18 years old has been caught in the patches, according to Banta. He says that the efforts to catch the raiders will go on unabated and that those caught will be turned over to the sheriff for prosecution. PEACE TRAP NEXT Belie ye Germans Plan Clever Trap for Allies. May Offer Plebiscite in Prov inces of Alsace and Lorraine. Washineton. Aug 14. That Ger- ma.nv an d Austria will offer to submit to President Wilson's policy of self determination in Alsace-Lorraine and the Austro-Italian Tyrolean provinces, in a new peace offensive of the central powers. Is expected in the diplomatic advices received here today. Reports are arriving from various sources of political manipulations in Alsace and Lorraine which would in dicate that the Germans In desperate attempts to end the' war without a military decision, might agree to a plebiscite in the "lost provinces." Hans Plan a Trap. It is believed Germany will make an open proposition, but will attach such conditions to it as would put the mat ter entirely under her control and as sure a favorable verdict for Berlin. Italian Czech-Slovak advices point to the activities of Austria toward the Germanization of the Tyrolean prov inces. The Crecho-Slovak national council has word of the removal from office of Dr. Conci, Italian deputy governor of Tyrol, because' he partici pated in the conference of oppressed nationalities at Prague, May 16. It Is considered probable that ex cuses will be found by the Austrians to remove all officers of Italian blood from power In Tyrol that a loyal Haps burg organization may be effected for political operations following defeat of the central powers.

But Steady Small Gains Menace German Positions. FRENCH TAKE VITAL POINTS Fall of Koye Would Automat ically Take Lassigny. German Machine Gunners Stick to Post Until Killed. Paris, Aug. 14. In comparison with the quick advance, of the first four days, the battle In Picardy now may seem to be stagnant. Nevertheless, the French have pushed nearer to the Chaulnes-Roye-Lassigny-Noyon line to which the Germans are clinging des perately. It took the allies a fort night to get the Germans from the Marne to the Vesle. The ground be tween thesvre and the Oise is much more difficult than north of the Marne, being a labyrinth of small wooded hills in and out of which the troops have to worm themselves, sur rounding and reducing each summit separately and successively. It is no easy task because the enemy laid out his positions long ago, so he is able to defend them with groups of picked machine gunners who have orders which they invariably obey to the let ter to resist until killed. Conse quently every inch of ground requires not only great determination in over coming,' but experienced skill. Make Steady Small Gains. Tuesday's fighting put the French' more than a mile north of Cambronne. close to Attiche and Carmoy Farms which are two big machine gun nests. The French left advancing on Las signy, met with vigorous resistance north of St. Claud farm and north of Mareuil-Lamotte. However, they suc ceeded in fighting their way thru th woods and moved their line 800 yards northeast of Gury. North of Gury they reached the. southern edge of Loges wood and also penetrated the park be longing to the Chateau of Plessier de Roye. They also reached Belval be tween Plessier de Roye and Thies court. The enemy still holds the greatest part or Thlescourt wood and the for midable plateau of Plemont- The French now have advanced their line to within less than a mile and a half of Lassigny. It will, how ever, undoubtedly require a tremen dous effort to capture either Lassigny or Roye. The fall of Roye would automatically cause the evacuation of Lassigny. MAKE SEA SAFE America and Italy Will Co-operate in Mediterranean. Cargoes Will Now Go Directly to Italian Ports. Rome, Aug. 14. Co-operation of the Italian and American navies in future operations in the Adriatic and Mediterranean is the chief concern of the mission to Italy of Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the United States navy, Roosevelt said to day in an Interview. "With the intention of increasing cur assistance to Italy," he said, "we are now endeavoring to solve the problem of using Italian ports to their fullest capacity. Henceforth, goods shipped to Italy must be discharged at Italian, instead of French ports. "It Is imperative that we do this In order to relieve congested traffic con ditions on the French roads. To put the plan into effect, the Mediterranean must be made safe from submarines. "The American and Italian fleets can easily accomplish this task. We should also close the Adriatic and pre vent the exit of enemy craft as well as paralyze the exploits of the Aus trian fleet." Roosevelt declared the United States is prepared to send to the Ital-rf lan iront enougn troops to insure vie iory xor Italian arms. From the North sea to the Adriatic the Initiative both o land and bV r passed to the allies, he declared.

The 131st regiment of the 23d United States di vision was the American unit which took part in the Franco-British-American offensive in Picardy, General March announced today in his confer ence with correspondents. The 131st regiment is composed of Illinois National Guardsmen and Is attached to the Sixty-sixth brigade of infantry in the 33d division, com manded by Maj. Gen. George Bell.

The conduct of the American troops, March said, won the highest praise from the allies. Huns Fifty Miles From Paris. He stated that the Picardy salient has now been reduced on a front of fifty-three miles to a depth of fifteen miles. This makes the nearest point in the German line fifty miles from Paris. The British and French offensive has now driven the Germans back to the line they held in the winter of 1918 in the region of Santerre. March said. The fact that the Germans found there the entrenchments they left in their advance probably ac counts for the stiff resistance the al lies are getting on that' front, he added. At some points the old line of 1916 has not yet been reached by the allies. No Change on Vesle. March said that the line across the Marne salient Is practically as It was last Saturday. He declared an Amer mette. ican counter attack had recovered Fia- Angust 10 was fixed by March as the date of the final organization of the first American field army.

Ernest Tucker, well known thruout Kansas for years as newspaper re porter In Wichita, reporter for the Capital in Topeka, owner of the Shaw nee Chief in Topeka and later reporter for the State Journal in this city, is visiting the "Old Home Town." Tuck er i now -doing city politics for the Star in Kansas City. He left the State Journal several months ago to take up this new work. Tucker is on a vacation. He spent a few days with his parents in Morrill, Kan., up in Brown county. With Mrs. Tucker and son Dean, he is visiting airs. Tucker's parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Whitcomb, 1212 West Thirteenth street. Tucker undoubtedly is one of the snout finished products of newspaper workers ever graduated from Topeka. His ability to "get" news, exceptional as it is, is equaled by his ability to write it. For a long period his court house stories for the State Journal mixed humor and pathos into the evening's reading of the thousands of su:soribers here. On the Star with Tucker in Kansas City are perhaps a dozen former To-1 peka .newspapermen. The habit of "hitching their wagons to a Star" has been almost a calamity to local news paper offices.

BEAT PRISONERS Escaped Britons Tell of Abuse by the Bocfces. Were Jieaily Starred "When They Reached Americans. (By the Associated Press.) With the American Army on the Vesle, Tuesday, Aug. IS. Worn out from fatigue and suffering from hun ger, two escaped British prisoners staggered Into the American lines, north of the Vesle today. They had escaped from a German pen after hav ing been captured in the Marne fight ing and It took them seven days and nights to work their way to Fismette. On the last lap of their Journey the Britishers ran thru a German barrages When they had identified themselves the American soldiers offered them their rations and scores of cigarettes. Their rescue promised to be as danger- oub physically as their journey be tween the lines, when officers checked the hospitality of the Americans. Potato Bread, Soap, Coffee The Britishers said that the ration given prisoners was' three-quarters of a pound of potato bread, a pint of thin vegetable soup and "coffee" made of hawthorn berries. The al lowance of a German soldier was the same, only in somewhat greater quan tity, occasionally supplemented by horse meat. It Is a common practice of the Ger mans, the escaped men added, to beat their prisoners with clubs and the butts of rifles. Wounded prisoners, they said were sent to hospitals only when they were unable to walk, then received little attention. MISSOURI TO RATIFY V Drys Sore of Majority for Federal Amendment In Both Houses. Kansas City, Aug. 14. The placing of Missouri in the 'dry column and the ratification of the naitonal prohi bition amendment may depend upon two votes cast for Ross E. Feaster for the Democratic nomination for state senator in the Sixteenth district. Of ficial returns yesterday gave Feaster 3,177 votes, and the present Incum bent, John Baldwin, 3,176. Henry. Bates, St. Clair and Cedar counties compose the district. The nomination of Feaster tWs election practically assured by tne preponderance of Democratic votes In the district gives the dry forces the final vdte necessary to control the Democratic caucus, thereby the power of organizing the senate and abro gating the two-thirds rule heretofore used by the wets to throttle the drys and dry legislation. Fledges in the hands of the dry forces, from both Republican and Democratic nominees, indicate that both the senate and the house are safely dry, and that the abrogation of the two-thirds rule In the house will permit the drys to easily ratify the national amendment and to "put over" such legislation as they may choose, no matter what the outcome of the general election may be. This however, is not expected to material ly affect the party lines as now con stituted in the senate. Patriotic Antolst. Albany, N. T., Aug. 14.

LAUDS SABOTAGE Haywood Declares It Labor's Best "Weapon. Declares Capitalists Control Publie Opinion. Chicago. Aug.' 14. Sabotage was defined as the "biggest, strongest and most wholesale weapon of the work ing class" by 'William D. Haywood, general secretary and treasurer of the L w. W. at the trial here of 100 lead ers of the organisation charged with violation of the espionage law. "We believe In using sabotage to protect humanity and it Is an effect ive means of accomplishing this de sired result," said Haywood. "It pre vents dishonest empl-jyers from adul terating food products, cloth and other necessities of life. My opinion Is that sabotage, according to my definition of it, must be used by the workers If the capitalistic class Is to be put out of business. It is the only practical means of protecting humanity from being robbed and poisoned." Haywood accused New Tork capi talists of controlling the press of the country. He said at first it was plan ned to obtain possession of Ao of the hir dailies, but that it was found that twenty-five newspapers were all that were necessary to dominate pumic opinion. LASSIGNY IS (Continued :tom Pane Oae.) and Noyon and possibly the entire line southward from Chaulnes. This would have some effect on the enemys posi-1 tion eastward to Rheims, depending on how far the Germans would have to retire before reaching a new de fensive line which most probably would he thru Nesle and Quiscard and based on Ham. Field Marshal Haig reports that since last Thursday the allies have captured 28,000 prisoners and 600 guns. Several thousand machine guns and much war material also were taken. Aerial Activity Intense. Aerial activity continues intense. German airmen are engaging the al lied flyers in combat to prevent recon naissance and bombing work. Forty eight German machines were accounted for Monday and seventy-four tons of bombs dropped on military targets oe hind the, enemy lines. Berlin reports the shooting dow of twenty-nine al lied airplanes." No Heavr Fighting In Flanders. Patrol activity continues in Flanders but there are no indications that heavy fighting Is about to begin there. Along the Vesle the Germans have not re peated their ineffectual attacks but are bombarding the Franco-American lines with high explosives and gas shell. It is announced that th Amer ican first army which has Just been organized will hold the western front "south of the, Marne," which prob ably means from St. Mihlel to Switzer land, where the allied positions are near the German border or beyond it.

German Newspaper Try to Brace Up Public Morale. Talk of Allied "Atrocities" Germany Should Yield. If Amsterdam Aug.r-1 4. whilo-Tues day's Berlin newspapers regard, .the Anglo-French main thrust as parried and at all events stopped by the ex haustion of the attacking troops, the journals in the Rhine country discuss the situation in a much graver tone. "Foch and Haig probably will con tinue attacking on the Bomme. but they' will never achieve more than pyrrhlc victories which will assist in the attrition of. their own force" says Baron von Der Osten. the military critic of the P.henisch Westfallsche Zeitnn of "Essen. Papers Urge Fortitude. "Klsewhere the newspapers deem it necessary editorially to brace, up the nerves of the people of the Kheniseh provinces, which seem to be badly shaken. The Cologne Volke Zeltnng appears to interpret popular appre hensions wnen it speaKS or -mouier impending ruthless-Anglo-French at tempt to creak" thru the ..German northwestern front," and says that Germany follows the terrible struggle with bated breath. In the next col umn it inveighs against defeatism which is "rearing Its head in Cologne. DuBseldorf and elsewhere, even in Es sen, where the people may be heard grumbling "another defeat for us we shall lose the war. We have nothing to eat, no clothes, no shoes; we shall starve and be utterly ruined." AS a cure for this state of mind, the Volks Zeitiing administers an antidote in the shape of a raging article about the enemy '"wanting to murder, rob and enslave German man,, women and children."''-' The Weser Zeitiing of Bremen, with ill concealed pessimism, regretfully admits in Tuesday's issue that the once derided American array is giving much more trouble than was antici pated, while the Frankfort Gazette pa thetically pleads with the official press bureau to tell the whole truth "as far as possible." TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Hug. 14. CORN Rains and cooler weather bad a bearish effect today on corn.

The latter, while Increased somewhat, were not sufficient to absorb the offerings and advance prices ail day in the face of persistent Belling by commission houses L which took the corn on the recent break. The adftmee of 514 to, cents from the .ow point oil Monday to the high point of yesterday was regarded as enough for the present by conservatives. A nervous market is expected by tbe trade for Borne time with weather an important factor. Many damage reports on corn were received and not given out They were iu aome instances a reiteration of those prev iously circulated. Tradera who believe that seriona damage has been done to corn' are bullish, while those who think that a later crop of good corn will be secured in Iowa and Illinois are bearish.

Be fore I took Tanlac I had not been up and about, nor able to go down town for three long years, and was In- bed for ten months perfectly helpless. I was under treatment every day for three months, and I tried everything until the bills got so big I dreaded to think of them, but I never got able to be cut of bed but very little.

Pretty soon after I started on it my appetite came back, and I got so I could eat anything.

At a time when Americans are thinking iji war terms of billions of dollars which must be raised by domestic loans ajid taxation It Is interesting to examine the methods employedto finance the first American war the War of In dependence. The total cost qf the Revolution, not including the expenditures of the indi vidual states, has been estimated at about 180,000.000, a good deal less than one day's cost of the present war. The sum is truly insignificant as compared with the J24. 000, 000, 000 which will be required to finakce America's share of the present world war during the com ing' year. Tied Congress' Bands.

The British gov ernment has issued a declaration for mally recognizing the Czecho-Slovaks as an allied nation and the three Czec ho -Slovak- armies as an. allied foxce regularly waging warfare against the central powers. It is reported from Moscow byway of Berlin that the diplomatic repre sentatives of the entente have handed a collective note tto "War Minister Trotzky demanding within three days an explanation of Premier Lenine's threat that Russia would declare war "against Anglo-French imperialism," the Central News states today. It was reported Mondays that Pre mier Lenine and War Minister Trot zky of the Bolshevik! government had fled from Moscow to Kronstadt, and that the Bolshevist government as a whole would follow them there. t Le nine's declaration was made prior to August 9. when American Consul Poole, at Moscow, Informed the state department at "Washington that Le nine had told a gathering of Soviets that a state of war existed between the Russian government and the en tente allies.

Airman Must JfeTer Get Cold Feet in Fight. Neither Will It Do to Be Kec less or Foolhardy. MUST KEEP JOUR EYES OPEN A Moment Off Gnard Might Prove Fatal. Yon Dont Hare to Bother With Tour Own Machine. (Copyright. 1918. by tbe United Press.) With the American Airmen in France, July 10 (by mall). "How do you ieel up there to the air when you're jockeying with a Hun for a chance to bring him down before he gets you?" was the question put to Eddie Rickenbacker, American ace and former automobile racer. Rickenbacker reflected a moment and then said: "You don't feel very much, because you are too busy watching the Helnie'ai machine. But you think of it as a machine and not as a man. I never think of 'the man in the boche plane, but regard a fight as- sport, in which we both take chances and if he is better than I and uses better judgment he will get xrte, but if 1 am the better sportsman. I'll get him first. "Fighting in the air. In the classy work at any rate, is more a question of keen thinking and good Judgment than anything else. You first try to out. guess your opponent and then try to get. position. on him. Attacking is a question of knowing when to pique on him and when not to.. Must Keep Xcrve. "Of course, a good flyer has to have his nerve with him and we all fear the mistake of not attacking when we should, more than we fear being shot down. A mistake like-4hat, of allow ing your nerve to fail you Just once, would weaken a man and we know it. However, we also know we cannot be foolhardy and reckless. Doug? Camp bell, our all-Amerfcan ace, has worked out some unusual tactics regarding fighting boches which have succeeded remarkably. "He is of a studious tu n of mind and figures out what the methodical German mind would expect him to do at a certain time or in a certain situa tion., Then Doug does just the oppo site, Surprises the Boches. "For- example he has piqued on boches in certain positions which wera thought to mean sure death. But he did it suddenly and unexpectedly and before the German mind had con ceived of the situation, Doug had let him have it and dived out of position again. He's landed several boches that way. "You have to make some quick de cisions np in the blue sky sometimes and they're pretty important for you, too. But that Is the important part of the game and a fascinating part.

Have to Keep Your Eyes Open. "After you fly awhile you get a sense of feeling t,iat is new. You sort of feel a boche. ound and feel the direction, too, since it is hard to see him. Of course you are always looking around, beccuse a couple of minutes without care- would enable a German to drop on you unexpectedly and it I .ight mean flowers. "Most people who liave never flown Imagine running the plane is a question of concentrated attenion on the mechanics of it. That is not so. Once you get np, you can fly along for a long time, without touch ing a lever' and without bothering about the motor. You don't need to stir because- there is nothing to hit and your only concern is not getting too far into German. Since there are no ruts in the air l or trees to hit and since the air is a big space, your di rection makes little difference. You can't bump into anything. "The thing you watch most Is the huge space all around you apd you keep your eyes open for more planes. Once you see one, you immediately work for position until you learn whether It is a friend or boche. Then you act accordingly and It never takrs long to makevup your mind what to do. Clouds Are Dangerous. 'Clouds are rsky things. .They look brightest and fleecy when you are away from them. When you dive Into them you feel no sensation and hit nothing. Everything seems like a fog. If they are large they are dangerous, for you lose your ssnse of direction among them. Sense of direction 's r-ore important than a compass, which often doesn't work when you are diving aro ind. Clouds can also hide boches." STRANDED BOAT SAVED Loaded Excursion Steamer Spent "Sight oh Sand Bar. 4 St. Louis; Aug. 14.

AMERICAN FRONT j i United States 'ow On Same .'I t Basis as Britain. Each Ally Holds Definite Sector of Long Battle Line. AMER1CANSARE0N THE EAST? American Front Believed to Be St. Mihiel to Switzerland. Some Believe Thar. Sector Is Road to Berlin. Washington, Aug. 14. The an nouncement that the First American field army has been created is regard ed at the war department as having deep significance, mainly because it places the American army in France on the same footing as French or British forces there. Formation of the army is taken here to mean tha the Americanlsation of a definite portion of the front has been completed. Supply lines, rail ways, bases, storage racillties, de barkation ports an'" the like, created and operated by Americans, stand be hind the First my. Between St. Mlhicl and Switzerland. The only statement of the location of "this American front given is that it is "south of the Marne." Presumably this means a part of the long line from ft. Mihiel to the Swiss border, whera American troops have been put in at Intervals in the last few months. Probably 1,250.000' Men. The extent of that fronts ha$. not been disclosed, nor has the definite strength of the army been given. The advices Indicate thet it comprise, however, five full corps, approximate ly 1 Yt million men. The effect of the taking over of the line Is to make a definite beginning at apportioning the long front. The British hold the left flank, aid ed by the Belgians, from the North sea. to the Juncture of the British Fourth army and the French First army in Picardy. and stand between the enemy and the channel ports. French Hold :eardy to Verdun. The French armies presumably are being concentrated wholly between the Picardy Juncture with the British and the' American left- beyond Verdun. They block the roads te Paris." To the Americans will fall the rer malnder of the front to the Swiss bor der when the other American armies shall have been formed. The First Army undoubtedly now holds the bulk of that line, with such French help as is necessary. The whole line prob ably Is under General Pershing's gen eral command. Iiiggett May Command. As direct commander'of the army Ira the field. General Pershing will be well situated to weigh the qualities of the men he has assigned temporarily as corps commanders. From those five of ficers he probably will select the com mander of the: First -Army later, and opinion "here leans towards' Maji Gen Hunter Liggett, now commanding the First Corps on the Vesle front, as his choice. It is expected that General Per shing will soon name his permanent corps commanders, the appointment carrying with it the rank of lieutenant general. General Liggett's corps probably Is regarded as the mobile reserve of the FirstArmy and as such is being em ployed on the French front. Should aggressive operations be undertaken on the American front, however, this corps proba' ly woold be used there, supplemented by French and possibly British mobile reserves sent by Gen eral Foch. In that case, while Gener al Foch would map out the objects-of the action in a broad way. General Pershing would command the Joint forces. Yanks On Road to Berlin. This recalls the fact that the Ameri can sector Includes what always has been considered the logical road to Berlin for Fjnch advances, ft was across lines now held by Americans that the French struck In 1914, before the plunge of the German army through Belgium localized the war inJ Northern France. FEWTSTOGK MALADIES Kansas Has Not Suffered Much This Year, Commissioner McrcerSays. Some Kansas- llfcstoel-men are having trouble because of 'pasture and water "shortages, but they have one condition in. their favor. The health condition of livestock in Kan sas never was better, according to J. H. Mercer, state livestock commission er. Furthermore, Mr. Mercer says, there is not a general stock water shortage thruout the state: that the water shortage is of less concern to the cattlemen now than the seared Kansas pastures. "The season has been as a whole free from livestock maladies,', stated Mr. Mercer. "While J. get reports frequently of local sickness nmong herds, even these are less frequent than customary In the summer months, and there has not been any thing akin to the epidemic, even a lo cal epidemic, in the state this season. "Sj successful has been the serum produced by the State Agricultural college to combat blackleg, which in years past has been about the worst enemy of stockraisers, that the dis ease Is practically unknown on the Kansas farms today. The calves ace inoculated and thus are rendered im mune from the disease. The same way with hog cholera. It used to be anticipated that hog cholera would sweep away thousands of animals every year. There has been no hog cholera worth mentioning in the state this year. The anti-cholera vaccine tdoes the work. "The one trouble which is causing the stock raisers more grief than any other malady is contagious abortion. This disease has baffled veterinarians' science thus far. mainly because it is almost impossible to detect its pres ence In a cow. It results in the loss of the calf thru premature birth and .once it gets into a herd of cows it is bound to do a lot of damage. It is impossible, also, to quarantine against the disease for the same reason that it is not marked,- by any exterior symp toms. "The farmers in the western and southwestern parts of the state have stock water. -The worst shortages are reported from the long grass sections of the state.

Forty Men in First 'Squad Kansas Colleges Bepresented. Great Lakes, 111., Aug. 14. "Hike!' hoarsely yelled Coach Olcott as he arched a long forward pass into the waiting arms of a husky sailor and the football season at the Great Lakes Naval Training station was officially opened this week. More than forty men were on the main drill field, punt ing and passing despite the heat. The first call was for ends and half backs only. They turned in from all barracks and even a number of tack les, guards and center could not resist the temptation, and slipped into the squad. Great Lakes is preparing for a championship team; a machine to cope with the creations of Yost, Kuppke and Wilce and equal to the Kastern turnouts.

A bulletin issued by the Indiana mate council of defense explains the. glass in the bread" scare as follows: "Corn flour under the microscope shows many hard, flinty pieces of the endosperm (germ), which have a very glassy appearance. When baked In a quick oven some of these particles re tain their glasslike appearance, tho in the ordinary process of baking this appearance is lost. This is the expla nation given by experts employed by the International Union of Bakers and Confectionery Workers. In bran Hours a nervous person might easily fancy that particles of the hard outer husk were glass. And dextrine some times solidifies into a hard, transpar ent mass, which might be mistaken f i r glass. The natural conclusion is that most of tl people who reported having found glass in their bread were deceived by the appearance of the rrxv nnvte-rtn.""- During the 'period in which the people have been compelled to eat pork Instead of beef, 'the price of live hogs in Chicago has reached an un- precetiented figure. iJow the ban haj been raised from beef.

J.1 r I I When Germany finally is whipped she will be so thoroly whipped that she will not be disposed to start an other fight in a hundred, years. It Is the history of bullies that one good drubbing takes all the belligerency out of them. Tenants of "heated flats" are en titled to heat in the winter time, ac cording to the ruling of Washington courts. The tenant has never doubted his rights in',the matter, but what he wants to know is how he is to get the heat to which he is entitled. Three hundred and fifty Italian soldiers, on their way baclc to the battle line against the "Austrians by wav of Itussia, China, the Pacific ocean, and the United States, enjoyed wa, camp community service hospital ity recently at Camp Dlx. These sol diers, who were accompanied by sevr eral officers, were captured by the Austrians many months ago. They made their way to Russia, across SI beria into China, and thence cot to the Philippines. There they took ship lor the United (States and crossed the continent, reaching Camp Dix. They have been waiting hare for transpor tation hack to Italy, and are eagerlj looking forward to sailing soon. Tc no person who has ever been 'a stranger in a strange land" will a movement, now under Way, to supply American fighting men on land and sea with newspapers from their home towns seem trivial. The very fact that our soldiers on the other side in camp, trench and hospital are constantly ap pealinr for "more home newspapers" indicates a serious want that should be supplied. Everybody realizes how necessary it is to sustain the morale of the nation's defenders. Nothing has been more potent to this end than cheerful letters from family and friend But many soldiers and sail ors ire not blessed with v inspiriting correspondence, and to these newspa pers, either the dailies or weeklies, from the localities in which theyhave lived are an excellent substitute. And even those who receive letters regu larly find in the home papers many hits of interesting news which the let ter writers do not cover. It Is sug gested by Leslie's that in every com munity committees made up of busi ness men, club members and parents of sc Idlers and sailors could be formed and these. With the co-operation of the local publishers, would see that the "boys" from their vicinity got copies of the local journals. PILING UP A SURPLUS. The house ways and means commit tee is industriously combing; the coun try's .resources tn an effort to find ma terial from which can be collected an annual tax of $8,000,000,000. This action is based on the treasury's esti mate of expenses amounting- to $24,- 1)00,000,000 for the next fiscal year. In the opinion of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, it is a physical im possibility for the- country to produce the goods for which the administra tion asks appropriations for the ensu ing fiscal year. But even with the possible amount of production and the tuslness resulting therefrom, "avail able money must move nimbly" to transact the country's business. Sen ator Smoot believes, therefore, that it is unwise to make loans or raise reve nue in excess of the. amounts that can be spent for war and other govern mental purposes. On the subject of fjast and- coming expenditures, he says: "The 'expenses of the government Tor the last fiscal year were $7,958.- SC2.T21. with receipts of approximate-! ly $4,300,000,000, and for the present fiscal year the expense. no doubt will bo increased to $15,000,000,000 or $16,000,000,000. If t,hat be true there should be raised by taxation between tive and six billions for the present fiscal year, and not eight billions as suggested by the treasury depart ment." m Suppose that we raise $24,000,000, ooo "by taxation and bonds, and sup rcse that we are unable to spend more than $16,000,000,000. In that event we shall have withdrawn some $8,000,000,000 from the working cap ital of the county to no purpose ex cept to invite governmental waste and extravagance. The discrepancy that existed between appropriations and ex penditure last year suggests that con gress ought now to make an effort to establish something like a parity be tween them. There is said to be much rejoicing in Vienna over the German defeat both because, old scores are thus evened1 up and because it brings the end of the war nearer. The 3ermans made many, unkind remarks when the Austrians were driven across the Piave. THE NEW DAT IX AMERICA. The government is planning to place one million American youths in military and" vocational training com bined. Probably after the war there will be little opposition to universal military training. The array of fal lacies which in the past bristled be tween, the American people and the idea of universal training, has been gradually' battered dovnv by ar Inva- sion of facta and experience.; The American training camp has teen a revelation to the people of what universal training may be in a democracy, not merely a defeitse of the nation from the peril of invasion and conquest but also an inspiring ex perience to the individual. The Amer ican people are' discovering what tialnlng and discipline in the concep tion of American officers are. The strength of the opposition to 1-iepredness and its essential factor, universal military training, says the Chicago Tribune, was not iti the little group of pacifist impracticables who founded "unions opposed to militar ism" and cackled shrilly about the capilol. It was partly in the optimis tic indifference of a generation spared the trial of war and, forgetful of their forefathers' experience. But it was also found in a misconception of what military training and discipline mean. The average American disliked the thought of military training because ho thought- it would rob him of his independence and of his individuality, lie disliked a uniform because it meant to him not the highest form of public service; the manliest devotion to his own highest ideals as expressed in his country, but only an enforced abolition of the right to wear what he pleased and be what he pleased. He resetted the military salute because he misunderstood what it meant, tak ing it as a sign of inferiority or servi tude and a negation of the American principle that all men are created equal. -Herthought of military training and discipline in the light of what he read about the insolence of Prus sian lieutenants and the brutality of Pvitsstan sergeants. He did not think of the democratic universal service of the army of republican France, and he did not trouble to find out what dem ocratic training and discipline might he. The purpose of military training !s not to make a machine but to make a man. a man in the full, the highest sense of the word, the citizen ready to sacrifice himself not under compul-sl-n of a master but under the insiii ratlor. of the principles and ideals of a freeman. President Wilson has declared that America makes war to mtrlte the world safe for democracy, and now it Is learned that he is preparing to per petuate and to expand the great sys tem of citizen character development which universal military training is in f.xct. as our great camps are demon strating. Thus a statesmanly concep tion Is rounded out. If we fight to make the world safe for democracy we also work to make democracy a living reality at home. Universal military training as con ceived and developed In America will be the education of the democratic citizen, the people's university, a maker of men, of citizens, of patriots. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL INFORMATION BUREAU v FREDERIC J. HAS KIN, Director. Washington. D. C CHILDKBJf AND THE WAR. III Child Conservation. Washington, D. C. Aug. 11. At all times a serious problem, the task of providing adequate protection for the Juvenile part of the nation becomes, in time of war, a most vital and urgent one. Victory will not mean much if it is bought at the cost of an emaciated young, and even defeat may be redeemed if the ground work for a timely reconstruction has been placed among the growing genera tion. The government of the United States is alive to this fact, and the governments of our allies have also awakened to it. In almost all of the countries now engaged in thet world struggle the work of. child conserva tion is proceeding on a scale almost as extensive as the work of producing soldiers, ships or munitions. Every where measures are being taken to lower the rates of Infant mortality, and the fallacies which led to the closing of the schools and recreation grounds as p. necessary economy are being corrected. In the United States this work has been centralized in the Children's Bureau of the Department, of Labor, headed by Miss Julia C. Lathrop, eminent as a sociologist and a former associate of Miss Jane Addams of Chi cago Hull House. While the com plete program for child reclamation has not yet teen launched by the Chil dren's Bureau, an extensive study of conditions affecting chbildren is being made in an endeavor to determine which of them may menace the de velopment of American boys and girls. Of course, an immense quantity of de tail accumulated in years of research of social workers has been placed at the disposal, of the. bureau, but much of this cannot be applied to the abnor mal conditions which have grown out of the war. A large portion of the study of the Federal Children's Bureau was direct ed toward the problem of infant mor tality, and investigations were con ducted in communities where a high death rate among babies seemed due to social, economic and civic factors Reports of some of the investigations have been previously detailed' in this column. It wast realized that infant mortality could only be curtailed thru proper provision for- mothers, and relative to this a great deal of legislation has been introduced at the behalf of the children a bureau. The most recent, and perjiaps- tho most adequate of these, was the bill presented Jointly by Mi3s Jeanette Rankin of Montana, and Senator Robinson of Arkansas, to extend to- the mothers of the United States the measures of protection now :n effect in England, where many suc cessful lnroatls have been made into the rates of infant mortality. In 1916, England succeeded In bringing the infant death rate to a lower ebb than ever before, and to a much lower ebt than in the birth reg istration jreas of tho United States. The bs lief is that this was due to the Subsidfes, which' in England are grant ed ta such local welfare work as-pub- i 11c health iiiirting and consultation1 centers. The amount of money spent for this purpose has been increased each year since the "beginning of the war ana in the budget of 1918 totals, more than $1,150,000. for England and Wales. A still further expansion of this work is being discussed by par liament. It is the belief of the children's bu reau that the present alarming death rate among mothers and young chil dien .-in this country can be reduced only when the -same measures are adopted here. hTe Kankin-Roblnson bill provides that federal aid be grant ed to state activities among mothers and children of the- rural districts. Provision is made, however, that such etate work shall conform to standards set by the children's bureau. For the first year each state would receive an appropriation of $10,000. This allow ance, under certain conditions, might be considerably increased. In rural districts, where physician's and hospitals are not accessible, and tnere is an almost-complete lack of trained nurses, many mothers and babies die of ills which might easily have been prevented. The public health nurse is even more needed in such distiicts than in the large cities. Another phase of the child conser vation problem Is the need of provid ing suitable means of recreation for growing children- Considerable head way has been made in this regard by the establishment of Children's year. The Children's year, which began in April af this year, and will extend until April, 1919, has been known as a "recreation drive" for having its objective the increase of physical vigor and adeptness .among the boys and girls of America. It has been given a patriotic aspect, because an effort hss been made to implant in the minds of the children that by developing their own health and strength they are performing an in valuable service to the country. This work has been aided in a great measure by the co-operation of chil dren's organizations engaged in war time activities. Among these might be mentioned the Boy Scouts, the Camp Fire girls, the war gardeners of the United States bureau f educa tion, the Junior Red Cross, the boys' and girls' clubs of the department of agriculture, and various organizations sanctioned or supervised by the gov ernment. As a part of this the bureau pro poses to set aside a week for the pur pose of athletic competition between or among the various organizations which have taken part in the Chil dren's year campaign. This will be known as "Patriotic Play Week-." The first week in September has been suggested for play week, but wherever another date may be better fitted to the needs of a community, the change is recommended. Whenever possible play week will be held tn connection with a county fair, a grange meeting or o,her gathering. Sucn activities as the children's year campaign will be supplemented from time to time by other endeavors, and every effort will be made to avoid or eradicate the sinister condmona which have shown themselves in other countries engaged at work. In addi tion to the summer work at play gtounds. children's farms, settlement houses and other places, home life so far as possible will be reformed and developed. School life, and where it Is of a wholesome character, unorgan ised play life will be encouraged, and instructors will be urged tc- give mora, of their friendship and guardianship to those in their charge. The keynote of the whole child conservation idea was struck by President Wilson when he said, "Next to the duty of doing everything: possible for the soldiers t the front there could be. it seems to me, no more patriotic duty than that of protecting the children who consti tute one-third of our population." DOROTHY DLX TALKS BT DOROTHY DIX World Highest gaia womsa Writer. A Fake Cure for Jealousy. 1. A poor, foolish wife, who tortures herself with suspicions of her hus band, believes t.iai. the hat, found a way to keep him from noticing other women. It is by ogling every man she meets. 1 She has heard, a- story of some drunkard who v.-as timed trom the error of his ways and made a rabid prohibitionist by seeing his wife in toxicated, and of a profane man, who became an exponent of the pure and beautiful speech, thru hearing his vife rip out some blood curdling oaths. So this wfrnan 1ms decided that the way t cure her husband of flirtatiousness is by beating him to it. and being more flirtatious .than he vould ever dare to be. So far the result of her bright Idea has only been that she has been in sulted by men who, not being mind readers, could not possibly know that she was a perfectly respectable wo man, and that her languishing glances in their direction were merely part of the moral cure she was trying to work on her husband. Also the husband Is highly displeased .with the nauseous dose she is forcing him to swallow, and her friends and acquaintances are beginning to sit up and take, notice and gossip about her conduct. and to say they never would have believed It of her. 1 All of which the misguided wife might, have foreseen. -If. she. had put on her. thinking cap. even Xor a mlns ute. Women cannot payt men. hack in their own coin simply because so ciety has laid down one set of rules bp which men may play the game of life, and another by which, women may play it, and that is all there is 0 it. Whether it is Just or not, whether jou like it or not, has got nothing to do with the case. Anyway there is no more fallacious theory than that the hair of the dog Is good for the bite, and that like cures like; and especially is it untrue that Jealousy cures Jealousy, The woman who thinks that she can concentrate her husbarld's attentions upon: herself by making him suspicious of her, and who believes that she endears herself to him by making him think that some other man is a.feet-to-steal her from him, makes, the mistake -of her life.' All that she does is to shake his faith in her loyalty1, and to besmirch his ideal of her purity and goodness. Any wife who flirts, whether to teach her husband a lesson or for her own diversion, is rocking the boat of connubial felicity, and you can safely bet on her overturning it. "The heart of her husband doth safely, rest in her," was written long ago as a -des- .scription of tine perfect wife. And it still stands good. And any woman who disturbs that feeling in a man does so at her peril. As a matter of fact, therexis only one sUne. guaranteed blown-lnVthe-bottie cure for Jealousy, and that is common sense, .i Just look-at the thin of .wlilchr you. are jealous, fairly and squarelya and see if it is there, in the first placed and in the second place, see if it Is worth being Jealous -about, and yob will generally find that the green-eyed monster has vanished) into thin air.- Jealousy is mostly a matter of Illu sions; especially with women. Three fourths of the time when they simply eat their hearts out with jealousy they have conjured up. out of their own. fancy an imaginary, rival who does not exist. They -have no .real cause, for jealousy whatever. fCorTrighted. lltlT. by The Wheeler Syndi cate, lac J A HERO EVERY DAY "Aive Deeds of men in America's Fighting Service In that stretch of the inferno along the Marne, known as Bois de Belleau, now sanctified by the French with the name of Bols de la Brigade de Ma rine, the Hun was fighting the fight of the treacherous, taking- every 'odd of unfairness. .He was strongly trenoUedT- his,!

EVENING STORY -',.When the Alarm Sounded. BY VINCENT O. PERRY. Mary Hilton closed the book she had been reading and Jumped to her feet hastily. It was an overdrawn story of spies, of international intrigue. but there- was a fascination about it that kept her reading longer than she had intended. She looked at the alarm -clock on -ber dressing table and gave an, exclamation of dismay. She had been reading for- two hours and there was barely half an hour left in which to catch Mier train. She had dressed before taking up the book, so, if she hurried there was still time. Thank goodness she was merely going on a week-end visit and would not have much packing to do! In less than five minutes all was packed. She began to wonder what was in her suit case after she had closed it. She opened it again and examined the con tents carefully- There! She knew she had forgotten something. She snatched the alarm clock from its accustomed place and shoved it into the bag. She was confident her cousin hadn't an alarm clock and knew she would miss the early train on Monday if she hadn't something dependable to awak en, her.- As an softer thought i she shoved the novel in on ton. As usual, there was no car In sight wnen mary arrived at ner corner. By the time one came she was sure It was impossible to get to the station in time. When she alighted from the car sne Doited for the station plat forms arriving- hot and panting to find nt train waiting. She had missed It! N, she hadn't. The train was chalked up seven minutes late. She walked down the platform to see if it was in sight. Suddenly she heard a buzzing sftnnd quite near to her, -gaining force as It buzzed. With a sharp cry of ingiiu sne cropped ner suit case. Some one had put an infernal machine in it Just as they had done to the hero in? in the novel! She tried. Xo run away: from it, but' her feet seemed Biuea to ine platform.

"I have heard today that Mary is going about with -a medical student, but I don't believe It," she read. Mary eouM hardly contain herself. Who had told Harris such a contemptible thing? The only medical student she -had evert known was her cousin Ralph. Harris knew him. of course, but didn't know th!t he had started to medical school. The next paragraph she read was written about a month later. .It said: "Mary's letters seem different I won der if there 's anythintr In ihat medi cal student story." .Vhy; that was the week they Ttad Tiad .-the '.'recerd rush at the office.- She had been so tired there war little wonder her let ters had appeared "different!" She turned to the date she judged Harris would have got her letter, ask ing -why he seemed so changed. Sure enough, he had got it! "I received a letter today from Mary, asking me the cause of a change in the tone of my letters. I realize that there Baa been a change and have written Mary, and told her the cause of it. I have of fered to give her her freedom if she loves the medical student-. I am wait ing anxiously for a reply," she read. Mary groaned. She had not received the letter. Whatever in the wold would Harris think of her? She skimmed thru the next pegs. On ev ery one disappointment was express ed because of no reply to his letter. After two weeks had passed,-, he, had begun to think that silence- waaher way of telling him that an was off. When he receivd the ring back he knew that that was so. "I can never love another girl, but my only wish Is that Mary will be happy," was the sentence that caused the tears to start in Mary's eyes- What a silly girl she had been to mistrust Harris! How unhappy she had made him! How unhappy they both bad been, and it wasn't really the fault of either. Was it too late to make amends? Harris was on that train and she was going, to find him and ten him all. She- grabbed the suit case and started thru, the train In search of him. Harris started when Mary put her hand on his shoulder. "Mary," he gasped.

D. Flora, meteor ologist for the section center of the weather bureau in Topeka. The report In full( covering all crops, follows: The severe drouth was checked over most of Kansas this week by general showers amounting to more than an inch over a strip extending from the Kaw valley thru the center of tha, state to the Colorado line ana cover ing abcut a third of the state's area, Amonnts in otner counties ranged from half to three-quarters of an inch, except along the Oklahoma line, where most of the counties are still very dry. Temperatures were not so extremely high aa during the previous week, tho -they reached 100 degrees and higher on several days fn nearly all parts. Cora Seriously Damaged. Corn has fired badly and its tassels have been burned white in most places. The rains failed to revive it to any considerable extent, except in a few western counties, and it is be coming evident that the damage to the crop has been very serious and that a great deal of it has passed the point where it- can possibly be revived by moisture. In the extreme southeast ern counties and a few in the Repub lican valley in the north central por tion It la reported to be practically ft total failure, while the damage t In many others is given a 0 to 75 per cent. However, tbere is much nf if..4n lew lands that is still green and will make a fair crop with favorable weather from now on. A few of the southwestern counties that have been favored with good rains iu the past three weeks report corn as practically unhurt and In the way of making a good crop. In a few places here and there over the state fields are being cut and some put in silos, but its value for feed is not great this early in the season. Grain sorghums as a rule are un hurt, but their growth haa been re tarded to such an extent in many Places it is feared theymay not ma ture before frost o -curs. Broom corn in the southwest is looking fine and will be ready by September 1 in the Elkhart district. Pastures have been burned bar in all parts except some of the favored s uthwestern counties. In the eastern third of the state water for stock Is becoming a serious problem and some tarmers are hauling it for miles.

THERE'S A GIRL IN OCR TOWS Who was attempting to entertain one of the famous "Blue Devils" of France who was here for a Rota club party a few weeks ago. This young lady knew that the French uniform Is a light blue, but she had not heard that the Blue Devils wore dark blue. Evidently she thought there was noth ing In a name anyway, when the conversation lagged she astonished the soldier and paralyzed the other mem bers of the club, who heard, by asking him if he had "dyed his uniform." The ladies working with the Masonic unit of the Red Cross, who can knit for socks,' are requested to meet at Ma sonic temple Thursday afternoon be tween the hours of 2 and "4 o'clock. The yarn has come and will be given out at that time.

Ripley and Miss Mary Tasker. When the men are asked to give up their day's smokes to contribute a dime each to some cause, no matter how worthy, we wonder how many of them actually make the sacrifice on their cigars. Wouldn't it be easier for most of them to give up anything else which is a. daily habit than their smokes? And we imagine many of them figure this out long before the day is over. A woman would make a great sacrifice, give her dime to a worthy cause and feel like a heroine all day long, but men, especially smok ing men, are different, and. we don't care it they are. However, a man with a cigar in his mouth wouldn't nave tne nerve to refuse, so it good way to raise money, neverthe less. Atpublic eating places In Holland one is eitner a "regular or a "casual customer. The casual oustomcr mav have his luncheon and dinner of the following dishes: Luncheon One course of a. choice from fish, game, posdtry. controlled or "free" meat, with greens and potatoes: a half course as an entree or as a sweet; a dessert. Dinner is the same as lunch eon with the addition of soup and another vegetable. If a "causual" takes his meals a la carte, an extra dish of seme non-controlled food" may be served. In this respect only does the casual customer have an advan tage over the regular. "Free" meat includes sweetbrer.ds, lcid,.ey, liver, tongue and any tinned meats. It is interesting to note that, with the exception of tinned meat, the above list' of free meats is a list the food administration suggests we get better acquainted with in America. We have a plentiful supply of these little used meats nd as they are not being shipped to Europe at all they make excellent substitutes for the beef which is in great der .anr abroad.

THE TOPEKA DAILY .STATE 'JOURNAL WEDNESDAY. EVENING,. AUGUST 14 1918 ONE-FIFTH NATION Since War in 1914 Kansas Con tributes Big Wheat Output. This State a Greatx Factor in Supplying World's Bread. BRINGING UP FATHER (Copyright, ISIS, International News Benrlo.

DRAWN FOR THE STATE JOURNAL BY GEORGE M'MANUS'l r I fOO OOST ,NE OQftaFf1i,..l2Z''y' MOW-fe&FORE Q Lf l 1 "i ft I Ml "Hi jjH FOR 3XOWE. V J' U ATE. -r-W .BEAT ME UP IF I ,Li lOKi S C x'f' M 5 iH KS I' S T iTHN I YEAH AVERAGE 41,553,000 BU, Kansas Is Banner" Wheat Ter ritory f Entire World., Next Total Yield May Set Xew Record for State. Since the war started in 1914; the state of Kansas has grown an annual Wheat crop equal to one-fifth of the winter wheat output of the entire na tion. This interesting illustration of what a prominent factor Kansas has been in helping to supply the .war torn world with bread is gained from fig ures gathered by J. C. Mohler, secre tary, of the state board of agriculture. These figures include the wheat yields of five crops 1914 to 1918 inclusive. The average for these five crops In Kansas, is 111.553,000 bushels, while the average yearly total for the entire winter wheat crop of the United States for the same period is S52, 594,000 bushels. That these have been real war crops is indicated by the fact that only once in its history, before the war broke out, did Kansas exceed the 100,000,000 bushel mark. Kansas is the banner wheat state of the nation, with such a big margin to her credit that it has not even a close competitor. Its nearest competitor in tne Wfi ter. "Wheat growing states Is Nebraska, whose five. year average Is 61.000.000 bushels 50,000,000 less than the Kansas average. North Da kota has second honors in wheat pro duction. It grows" spring wheat ex clusively and has to its credit for a five year average. 99.112.000 bushels, or 10,000,000 bushels under the Kansas average. Remarkable Showing. That Kansas has been able to make such a record, despite a terrific slump in the 1917 crop, the total of which was. 45,000,000, or less than half the yearly "average, and furthermore to the fact -that' for-the last two years the crqB,4n. the, west third of the state has beeit practically a total failure, makes the showing all the more re nte rkable. THeyef)f 1914 was the best il lustration of the possibilities in wheat production the state possesses. That year saw the best the state ever pro duced, when a total of 180,000,000 bushels in- round numbers was the wheat output of Kansas farms. Had conditions in western Kansas been as favorable for wheat as in the eastern part of the state, Kansas's wheat yield this season would- have been probably a third greater than it was. With the federal aid plan, these western Kan sas farmers this year will be able to try again and next total yield may set a new lec.nrd ffn Iantoo r---- t Si COME BACK Increased Wages Cause 5,000 Men to Remrn- to Railroads. Vashington, Aug. 14. Higher wages recently granted railway shopmen have resulted in recalling to railway employment more than 5,000 work men who had left previously to accept Jobs with higher pay. This has stim ulated railroad work on cars and loco motives and the railroad, administra tion expect to clean up before win ter the entire accumulation of thou sands of damaged cars on sidings for thsj last year. Every company of American soldiers abroad is allowed to adopt ouewar orphan. The total cost to each soldier is 25 cents a month. Each company is euthuaiastlcar ly doing its share.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESD A V EVUJNINU, AUGUST 14, 8 ALEX, AWISE BIRD He TYoeld Steal Something Then Have Sister Fay. Once He Took a Shirt on a Line and Left 11 Cents. DiQ HE GRAB PLYMOUTH ROCKS Of Course He Didn't Only One Was of That Variety. Tells Sheriff Folks Think He's CrazyBut He Isn't. When Hugh Larimer, sheriff, and Robert Miler, deputy, rounded up Alex Johnson at the Oak Grange building Tuesday night he maintained he was perfectly sane- and that he wouldn't steal. He had the officers partially convinced of both until Miler pulled a sock from his pocket. The Bock had the feathers of a Plymouth Rock chicken on it. "So you've been stealing chickens, have you?" said Miler. No, I haven't," Johnson replied, "I don't steal anything." A farmer who had made Johnson's acquaintance vouched for his honesty. 'He won't steal," the farmer said, "there has beerf $2.40 in a drawer here in the room ever since he's been here and he knew it. The money still is there." "Of course he'll steal," said Miler. "Why, Johnson, I even can tell you what kind of chickens you stole." "What kind?" "Plymouth Rocks," said Miler. w "Just one Plymouth Rock," said Johnson, "the other one was a white chicken." Then Johnson scratched his head in a puzzled manner. He desired to know how anybody knew he stole m Plymouth Rock chicken. He Never Told a Soul. "I never told a soul about it," he said. "I'll bet he would have taken that 12.40 too," said Miler. "Well. I wouldn't steal it," Johnson said. "I was going to take it and write to my sister and tell her to re turn it." Miler drew a slip of paper from Johnson's pocket, and written on -it wast "Dear Sister: Please send 92.40 to Mission Center Auxiliary." Johnson explained he always wait ed until he was ready to leave a place to send word to his sister: that other wise she would be able to trace him and send him back to the -asylum. "So you are crazy, after all," Miler said. "Oh. I'm not crazy but folks think I am," replied Johnson. "And I don't steal. See this shirt I have on? It used to belong to another man. but I didn't steal it. I saw it on a fence and I left 14 cents to pay for it." Johnson is wanted in an asylum in Iowa. His sister, who has been seek ing him, was notified of his arrest. PEjp WITH U. S, Bolshevik! Say War Is With J France and England Only. Object, to Landing of Allied Forces at Archangel. Amsterdam. Aug. 14. The Bolshe vikl government of Russia as late as AuKust 6 crrnsidered itself still at peace with the United States altho at war with Great Britain and France, ac cording to a note delivered on that date by Foreign Minister Tchitcherin to Consul General Poole at Moscow, as quoted by the German semi-official Wolff bureau. AT ANOTHER POINT Allied Armies May Pick Out One More Weak Spot. Germans Trying Hard to Fathom Foch Tactics. Paris; Aug. 14. While Germans have gained their equilibrium in Pi cardy at least temporarily, and ap parently are determined to make a stand on the. Bray-Roye-Lassigny-Noyon line, they are showing unusual jumpiness on the whole front. They are trying by small raids for prisoners and persistent air reconnais sance, to find out where Marshal Foch's next punch will land. On widely separated fronts they are seek ing to ascertain what new dose the allies are mixing for them, and where it will be administered. Meanwhile Foch is keeping them up !n the air by exerting strong pressure at vital points in tne uerman line. Military experts are speculating as to whether Koch will exploit his gnins In Plcardy to the utmost by another attack, or will merely keep the enemv busy there while delivering another blow elsewhere. Most of them are in lined to the latter view, pointing out that thereby the allies would retain the all important initiative and would use a maximum number of German reserves by keeping them racing up And down the lines. NOW WHO IS "ZEKE"? Alleging that her husband. O. R. Addis, and another man named "Zeke" brought two women to her house and kept them there several nights, during which time some of the furniture wni t-roken up and the house literally "turned upside down," Viola Addia, S Monroe street, filed a petition with the clerk of the" Shawnee county district court Tuesday asking for a parate maintenance. The court granted her request that a restraining order he Issued, preventing Addis from disposing of any money or property in Ilia possession until after the case was settled and also to keep him from coming on her property. Mrs. Addis alleges that Addis Is a rambler and says he maintains a gambling den at his place of business at 1113 Kansas avenue. Sometimes ha loses money and sometimes displays lane rolls of -money that he has won. he She accuses him of extreme cruelty, neglect of duty and unfaith fulness and declares that he is in the hsblt of etirslng and beating her. Mrs. Addis claims that her husband has a sufficient Income to pay her $80 a month for the support of herself and two children.

NO WHEAT EMBARGO Santa Fe Releases Tleup Effective at 1 Midnight. An order has been released by F. C. Fox, general manager of the Santa Fe, effective at midnight today, releas ing the embargo placed Sunday on all wheat shipments for delivery at Kan sas City. Mr. Fox says that weather condi tions since the middle of July have been such that the wheat harvest pro ceeded with unusual rapidity, the lack of rain allowed the roads to stay in good condition, which all resulted in wheat- coming into shipping points faster than it could be handled. As most of the wheat In the west is shipped on lines converging at Kansas City a congestion resulted at that point which Fox says could best be relieved also adding released rolling stock for moving other wheat, by stopping fur ther shipments temporarily until the tie up could be broken. According to Fox the three davs during which shipments were not re ceived resulted In conditions being re lieved. EAST SIDE NOTES Notes and personals from Er.st Side by Frances Jones. Telephone 3530.
