AMERICANS MAY BE IN FIGHT New Attack Is on Line Where Yanks Had Been Serving. In Flanders Also the British Take Ground From Huns. Paris. Aug. 22. General Humbert's army has made a great advance be tween the Matz and the Oise rivers and has reached the Ailette river. The Frencji military men say this makes the early fall of the town of Noyon inevitable. Paris Aug. 22. German troops were forced back over a twenty-mile front to a depth of from one to two miles from Lassigny to the Ailette river during the night, according to the official statement Issued at the war office today. French troops maintained contact with the retreating enemy between Matz and the Oise and east of the -Oise -during-the night; Take Several Villages. Four -illages, Leplemont, Thles court, Cannectancourt and Ville were occupied by the French, who have reached the Divette river, the state ment says. The French have reached the Oise on a six mile front east of Noyon, their line extending from Sempigny to Bretigny. Further east the villages of Bour guignon and St. Paul-Aux-Boise have been taken. The French reached the Aillette river at Laquincy-Basse. The western outskirts of Pommieres on the Aisne west of Soissons have also been taken. Still Press Germans Back. London, Aug. 22 (1:15 p. m.). French troops under command of General Mangin, according to Infor mation received In London today from the battle front, along the Oise river, are continuing to press back the Ger mans. Several important German positions already have been gained by the French. The Germans are offering stubborn resistance and heavy fighting is taking place, and It Is reported to be favoring the French. General Man gin's army has taken numerous prisoners. New British Drive. London, Aug. 22. The British at tacked on the whole front between the Ancre and the Somme, at 12:45 Ms morning. Field Marshal Haig an nounced. The attack evidently was made be tween Darnoncourt and Etinehem. a front of between five and six miles. Tills is one of the strongest defeneive positions held by the Germans and its possession held up the northern wing of the original allied offensive in Pi- cardy. American troops, brigaded with the British were operating in this sector a few days ago. North of the Ancre, the statement says, the Arras Bapaume railway has been crossed in spite of strong enemy resistance. Between two and three thousand prisoners were captured by the British in yesterday a operations, the statement says. Local Gains In Flanders. London, Aug. 2 2, 12:20 p. m. In the Flanders battle area the British last night attacked and captured a German position north of Bailleul, ac cording to advices from the front to day. It is reported that a strong lecal counter attack made yesterday mom- n acainst the Locre hospice was re pulsed after heavy fighting and thtt sharp combats took place during the night in this sector. British troops have reached the vil lage of Neuf Berquin, northeast of Merville, the statement says. Fresh German counter attacks are reported to have developed east of Miraumont and Tries. The hostile artillery Is said to have been very nctive during the night and to be con tinuing Its heavy fire this morning. (By the Associated Press. Allied blows on the 120-mile front from Soissons to Tpres continue to force the Germans back, and the enemy appears unable to stay the at tacks which increasingly threaten the stability of his defensive system In France. On four sectors the troops under Marshal Foch are hitting the German positions for good gains. Un less the Germans want to sacrifice men needlessly to defend partly out flanked salients, it would appear the time Is close at hand for an enemy re tirement. The security of Noyon and the salient about it seems most precari ous as the armies of Generals Hum bert and Mangin press forward from the south and west. The menace of THE WEATHER I i 1 COOLER WEATHER IS PROMISED. Nothing Chilly, of Course, But Just a Little Belief Is Coming. WEATHER FORECAST FOR KANSAS Generally fair tonig-bt and Friday aome wbat cooler. According to Meteorologist Flora, there will be no cold wave or any thing like that, but the temperatures will be enough lower to make it more pleasant. The highest temperature In the last twenty-four hours was 97 at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the lowest was 75 at 7 o'clock this morning. The temperatures for the twenty-four hour period averaged 11 degrees above normal. Flora estimates that the tempera ture will go to 95 this afternoon. Tonight it will drop to around 70. These readings will be slightly cooler than those of the previous twenty-four hours. Tomorrow afternoon the high mark promised will be close to 90. No rain has fallen in Kansas in the last twenty-four hours. Weatherman Flora does not predict any rain in the state in the next twenty-four hour period. Temperatures in all parts of Kansaa were up to 100 or higher on Wednes day. The hottest place in the state was at Macksville, where the mercury went to 106. The hot weather of the country is still centered in Kansas and Oklahoma. The east is having weather considerably cooler than in Kansas. The hottest day on record for this date was 96 in 1909, and the coolest day was 48 in 1889. The wind at 10 o'clock this morning was blowing 15 miles an hour from the south. DAILT WEATHER TABLE.

There has been no rainfall in the state in the past 24 hours. the French blow here also includes the German position from the Somme to Soissons and probably to Rheims. Slowly Flatten Out Lys Salient. General Byng's successful attack between Albert and Arras apparently is aimed at the important base of Bapaume, and if driven deep, would outflank the enemy positions north of the Somme to the Ancre. Already the British are within four miles of Bapaume from the west, and their progress continues. Farther north the British maintain the pressure which slowly is flattening out the Lys salient. With the fall of Lassigny and the high ground surrounding it, the Ger man resistance in that region is said to be relaxing. From Lassigny Gen eral Humbert is In a position to out flank Roye and Noyon by advancing toward Nesle. The French also are moving towords Noyon along the west bank of the Oise south of where it curves to the east. Take More Prisoners. Southeast of Noyon, General Man gin's troops have reached the River Olse near Pontoise, three miles from Noyon. In the center also they have pushed farther northward toward the Oise, capturing additional towns and villages. General Mangin is reported to have increased by several thousands the ten thousand prisoners taken up to Tuesday night. On his left flank which, if driven eastward, would make untenable the German line north of the Vesle, enemy resistance appar ently has held up progress of the movement. In the new operation north of the Ancre the British have ad vanced an average of three miles on a ten mile front and have reached the Albert-Arras railroad, crossing it on the northern end of the attacking front. On the north the British have advanced to Mercatel, whi'ii is almost on the old Hindenburg line as It was before the Arras offensive of April. 1917. At Achiet-Le-Petit on the southern end the attackers are within four miles of Bapaume. The Germans suffered heavy losses In General Byng's surprise attack and the number of prisoners and guns is said to be Increasing hourly. Nibbling on Large Scale. Around Merville. at the apex of the Lys salient, the British line has been pressed more to the east. On the northern flank of the salient the Brit ish gained some ground near Locre and took 138 prisoners "Nibbling" on a large scale mfKht describe Mar shal Foch's tactics most fittingly. By successful and successive bites into the German positions here and there he Is steadily undermining the entire enemy defensive structure. He has forced the Germans to move their guns far to the rear to prevent their catpure and to attempt to hold the first line with machine guns and as small numbers of troops as possi ble. The enemy system of defense, however, has not prevented the allies from going thru it for several miles five miles have been gained between the Oise and the Aisne in four days -and to threaten Important bases, one of which Lassigny already has fal len. For more than a month now the "e-tnans have tasted only defeat and It is reported unofficially that since July 18 the enemy has lost 100,000 prisoners alone. FOCH'S STRATEGY IS FORCING THE ENEMY TO WASTE TROOPS Probably la Not Trying To Pierce the German Lino at Present. Seeks To Cause LndcndornT Irreplace able Loss of Manpower. FORCE HUNS TO RETREAT Disastrous Withdrawals Part of Pun Jshment To Be Inflicted on Foe. Enemy May Have To Go Clear Back to the Old Hindenburg Line. Paris, Aug. 22. The allies have damaged six German armies since July 15 and the British armies are now eating into' the seventh with the spread of the battle northward and over a front of seventy miles. Whether the enemy is prepared or un prepared, allied efforts have had the same results and the Germans have been out generated and outfought. The armies attacked and damaged In the past six weeks have been those of Generals von Einem, von Mudra, von Boehn, von Eben, von Hutier and von Der Marwitz. It is believed that Marshal Foch's aim is not, as the Germans claim, to pierce their line, but to strike a suc cession of blows to cause the enemy irreplaceable losses in men and ma terial and to force him to make more or less disastrous retreats. Huns Forced to Expend Effectives If that is the marshal's plan he is pursuing it with skill and unvarying success. General Ludendorff is being forced to expend his effectives out of all proportion to his resources on a given sector of the front, after which another blow is struck home on an other sector. At no place have the Germans apparently been strong enough to check the attack entirely. Wednesday the German resistance was most desperate on the right of General Mangin's army in the neigh borhood of Bieuxy. If the French are able to reach the neighboring village of Juvigny, the salient marked by the villages of Guvigny, Osly and Pasly, wpulcl become untenable for. General von Eben, who' would Te obliged to retreat beyond the Soissons-Coucy-Le-Chateau road. The German situation there is unenviable enough at pre sent, but would become still worse as the French progressed. The Ger mans also would have to abandon the Vesle-Aisne line and go back to the Chemin-Des Dames. May Go Back to Hindenburg Line. Military ovservers that are of an optimistic turn of mind are convinced that the Germans will end their de fense by falling back to the old Hin denburg line all along the front at no very distant date. While that may be so the enemy shows no signs at present of doing so voluntarily and is fighting stubbornly and skillfully, yielding only when outmaneuvered and outfought. SENATORIAL FH3HT OX Heavy Registration in Chicago Be lieved Due to Interest in Contest. Chicago, Aug. 22. An unusually heavy registration of voters here yes terday was taken today to evidence interest in the Illinois senatorial face. The total of registered male voters with yesterday's 70,000 is 553,000.

New Tork, Aug. 22. Enrico Caruso, world famous tenor, and, according to himself, at least very near the world's happiest man, expects to be received by Park Benjamin, his new father-in-law at the end of the week. Benjamin declared to newspapers he had forbidden the marriage of his 25-year-old daughter to the 45-year-old singer, but supposed the family would make the best of it. He said his ob jections were based on the differences in the ages of the couple and the fact that Caruso was not of the same na tionality as his daughter. He also mentioned that he had hoped his daughter would marry not a voice, nor an orator, nor a rich man, but Just a plain, regular man. i DESTROY 500 TANKS 1 Berlin Claims Wholesale Destruction Since Aug. 8 on Battlefields.

The leader of the deserters this morning sent a message to Sheriff G. T. Blankenship of Mingo county, warning him to draw off his posse and militiamen as all of the deserters are armed with army rifles and "will fight to the last man before sur rendering." DIVERT PROFITS TO HUXS Conspiracy on Part of New York Concern Is Revealed. New York, Aug. 22. Charging that a conspiracy existed to divert a large part of the profits of the Bayer com. pany, a concern recently seized by the enemy alien property custodian, to the benefit of Germany, federal officials here have arrested five officers of the Bayer company and they were in sep arate jails today, placed there to make certain there would be no communica tion between them. It is declared that the Bayer com pany, fearing seizure, by the govern ment, contrived before seizure came to enter a contract with a Providence company, which made it obligatory on the part of the Bayer company to buy the entire output of the Providence firm, insuring it an enormous income. This money, it is charged, was to be used to purchase land in New Jersey, thru which it was hoped to re-establish Germany's drug and chemical business at the end of the war. AFTER VAMPIRE BRIDES One Married Three Soldiers in Suc cession To Get Their Allotments. Chicago, Aug. 22.

CONSOLIDATING PUBLICATIONS In Michigan Cities Where Were 45 Newspapers, Now but 24. Advanced Prices Not Enough for Ex tra Expenses of Production. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 22. At the sixty-fourth annual convention of the International Typographical Union, held here recently, the general effect of the war upon newspaper conditions was discussed. H. M. Kellogg of In dianapolis, chairman of the standing committee of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, strongly urged the fostering of a co-operative spirit between the printers and the pub lishers, especially in solving war prob lems. Mr. Kellogg pointed out that sev eral hundred newspapers have either suspended publication or consolidated during last year. "In fifteen Michi gan cities," he stated, where forty five newspapers formerly existed, a recent survey found but twenty-four still issuing." Mr. Kellogg also reported that 138 newspapers are now paying bonuses to employes above the wages required by contracts. "A great many newspapers in this country are not breaking even at this time," he continued. "A war very greatly increases the expenses of a newspaper. It does not bring any in crease In net revenues, but on the contrary, tends to reduce them. "A considerable number of news papers have advanced their selling prices, but such increased receipts do not equal the extra expenses caused by the abnormal conditions." JUST DIG FOR WATER That Is All They Have To Do To Get It in Western Kansas. According to State Meteorologist Flora, the western part of Kansas has underneath it large bodies of water which move into Kansas from the north and west.- Flora says that al most any place on west from Newton and Hutchinson, to the state line, wells can be dug at depths ranging from 75 to 200 feet which will tap these sup plies of water whic hare practically inexhaustible. While it Is true that the streams and rivers are practically dried up in the west, this is not un usual in the past in periods of drouth and excessive heat of considerably less duration than that which is now being experienced in Kansas. Flora says that the western part of the state is unique in having a mo nopoly on this underground body of moving water and that the eastern half of the state has no emergency supply of water tucked away under Its surface on which it may fall back in case of the failure of the supply of water obtained from the surface. There may, perhaps, be some water under the eastern half of Kansas, but it is at far greater depths than it is in the west, where it is essentially close to the surface. "There is no reason," says 8. E. Flora, "why west ern Kansas should not be in far bet ter shape than eastern Kansas, if water is the main .consideration." With the wells that now exist in west ern Kansas, cattlemen should not an ticipate any disaster to herds thru lack of sufficient water while the dig ging of additional wells should so Im prove water facilities as to make any such occurrence an impossibility. CONTINUOUS ADVANCES In All Materials Needed by Publishers of Newspapers. New Tork. Aug. 22. Continuous advances in all material needed by publishers, says the Advertising Age, in an extended article on the serious situation facing newspapers, as well as growing expenses for news and tele graphic service and the necessity for strictest economy in news-print paper as insisted upon by the war industries board, which may lead to restriction in the pages devoted to advertising and correspondingly less revenue from this source, may force newspapers to advance the selling price of their dally issues. I 8 tm CAPTURED TRAWLER IS STILL AT LARGE RAIDING FISHERIES Two Additional Fishing Schooners Re ported 'Sunk by Armed Vessel. The American Sylvania Destroyed Yesterday on Banquerean Banks. WORK OF THE TRIUMPH! Balder Was Not Identified, but Is Only Surface Balder Known Of. Nova Scotia Schooner Pasadena Be lieved To Have Been Destroyed.. VA Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. 22. The American schooner Sylvania was sunk yesterday by an armed traw ler on the Banquereau fishing banks. It is presumed the attacking vessel was the trawler Triumph, captured Tuesday by a German submarine and manned as a raider. The Sylvania's crew reached a fishing port near here this morning. The trawler also sank the Nova Scotia fishing schooner Pasadena. The crew which reached port today, re ported that their vessel was sent to bottom at midnight TuesUay. The rescued crew of the fishing schooner Lucille Schnare which reached port last night reported that the Pasadena was nearby when their craft was destroyed by gun fire and bombs. When they left the vicinity in small boats, they said, no attack had been made on the Pasadena. Motor Boats Watch for Victims. Crews of four trawlers have reach ed this port with tales of the captive fishing vessel's attacks on the fleet of little boats. The submarine's captain is said to have told one victim that he intended to destroy the fishing fleet that operates alonfc the coast. Fast motor boats are operating about waters near here, hoping to pick up any crews which may have been cast adrift by the Germans. FOURTH SMALLEST CORN CROP Hot Weather Has Done Great Dam r.7& ages- Beportsv-Moblar a. Only 57,000,000 Bushels Is Predicted for This Season. Hot weather and lack of moisture have paralyzed the Kansas corn crop. J. C. Mohler today estimated the state yield at 67,640,000 bushels an aver age of 9.35 bushels from the 6,150,000 acres planted last spring. The crop is 48,628,000 bushels less than the 1917 yeld, and is the fourth smallest corn production the state has known in forty years. Protracted dry weather in all of the big corn producing counties of the state has ruined early prospects of a mammoth corn yield. Counties with more than 100,000 acres of corn land, show conditions which point to a yield of nine to sixteen bushels an acre. Smith and Jewell for years banner corn counties will yield but 16 bushels an acre with plantings in excess of 160,000 acres each. Mar shall county with 167,150 acres will gather an average of nine bushels an acie. Reno with 130,492 acres, will average 11 bushels an acre, while Phillips county with 140,874. esti mates her yield at 14 bushels an acre. The above are among the twelve top line corn producing coun ties of the state. They will yield a million bushels or more each, their aggregate being 38 per cent of the state's total crop. Kansas winds and dry weather are leaving their stamp on all growing crops. Secretary Mohler reports. Sor ghums are 23 to 32 points above corn and have withstood the hot weather far better than the enormous corn acreage. But stockmen are praying for rains and grazing lands are parch ed c .d dry as the result of the Kansas weather conditions of the last month. Early prospects for wheat are in dicated by Mohler. He finds indica tions of unusual acreages In eastern counties with a corresponding slump in western counties.. HARRY J. BONE FUNERAL Large Number of Friends and Old Associates Pay Last Tribute.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22. 1918 GERMAN SOLDIERS TALK OF REVOLUTION AFTER WAR IS OVER Army Order Calls Officers' At tention to Conditions. Warns That Talk, Must Be Dealt With at Once. THE TALK PUBLICLY Copy of the Order Was Cap tured by British. Throws Sew Light on German Internal Conditions. (By the Assorted Press.) British Headquarters In France, Aug. 21. Germany's military leaders now have become distinctly worried over the prospects of a revolution in Germany. General Ludendorff, in a captured secret order has taken steps to em ploy the assistance of his command ing officers and various government agencies to help him stamp out the glowing spark which has been seen. The order, which is more illuminating than anything which has come out of Germany in many months, follows: Tails of Revolt After War. -It has come to my knowledge thru a letter addressed to the royal Prus sian ministry of war that men on leave have spoken publicly of a revo lution which is to break out after the war. "A soldier, said to have come from the industrial region of Rhenish West phalia, declared in a train that in his home district men were going on leave, taking weapons with them for the aforesaid object and that it was easy to take home German or cap tured revolvers as well as hand gre nades separated into two parts. "I desire that the clothing of men going on leave be searched as test cases before their departure. It will be possible to carry this out at the baths and dressing stations. "I wis hto impress upon all superior officers who happen to hear such ob jectionable talk or who hear of it thru others that they must deal with it at once and without hesitation. The home authorities and the director of military railways have been directed to take corresponding measure." Insubordination In Army. Another order Just captured, bearing the signature f the chief of staff of the Forty-first infantry division re cites that courts martial have had an increasing number of cases where sub ordinates emphatically refused to ac company their units into the line and where the "superior offciers neglected tn. anfnrra obedience by failing to com pel the cowards to go into the front line." Shoot Those Who Disobey. Obedience In this respect, the order said, must be enforced even tho it may be necessary to resort 10 iorce knA th. turn f if arms. 'It is right, the order said, even to go to the length of shooting a man as an extreme necessity. Another caDtured order deals with the investigation into a case where a German airplane was shot down, prob ably In mistake by German troops, and the occupants secretly buried. "Such procedure," the order said, "is unworthy of the German army." Search Men for Arms. In still another document. General Ludendorff says there ure constant reports of German officers on leave voicing utterances that are calculated to awaken felings of doubt as to Ger man preparedness for battel. He mentions an officer in Berlin who said further offensives were impossible on the ..estern front because of the shortage of horses and oats. General Ludendorff warns officers against spreading Mnfavorable rumors. He declares that it is remarkable that they "never bring encouraging news home from the front, and adds that it is better to color the situation with a rosy hue than with "black paint." INVITE WOOD TO TOPEKA Fnnston Commander Asked Here to Dedicate Service Flag. The "Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas exoeet to dedicate their big service flag on the evening of Mon day. September 9. Altho the flag Is to- hang in the rotunda of the state house, the dedication ceremony will take place at the people's forum in front of the war oepartments exniDi tion building at the state fair- It is hoped that Gen. Leonard 'Wood can be secured to make the dedication SDeech. H. V. McAfee, who is one of the committee in charge of entertain ment on the occasion, will go to Camp Funston tomorrow with a letter from Governor Capper, inviting General "Wood to be present. This service flag, which is to honor an of the native Kansans who will take part in the present war, will be 24 feet long and 8 feet wide. It will consist of a blue field studded with thousands of white stars of man; sizes, arranged to represent the sky at night- Around the field will be a broad red border, and at the bottom of the flag will be placed the seal of Kansas.

"Coal is the key to victory. The miners of Great Britain must help me." was the message from Marshal Foch. FERDINAND DYING? 'Bulgarian King Rumored Near End Revolution Might Follow Death. Madrid. Aug. 21. The newspaper Liberal declared it hears from author itative sources that Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria is at Frankfort desperately ill and believed to be dying. His ram ilr is said to be with him. The news paper expressed the opinion that the death of the czar would create dis turbances in Sofia that would end in the declaration of a republic in Bul garia within a few days. HAS PAPA FIRED THE HUN GROWN PRINCE? London, Aug. 21. Has Frederick William, crown prince of Prussia, the "high Jinx" of the German army, been shelved at last? This is only a question, a hint; but it is based upon significant symptoms and rumors. Fact is that the kaiser's oldest has not been mentioned in Berlin dispatches for some days, not even in con nection with the Berlin official re ports which used to specify "army group of the German crown prince." It may be coincidence. Rumor has it, however, that Hin denburg and Ludendorff issued a virtual ultimatum to the kaiser after the crown prince's fiasco at the Marne to the effect: "Either he goes or we go." Incidentally, Crown Prince Bup precht, of Bavaria, is still in Mun ich on a "vacation." CUTTING CORN FOR SILAGE Hot Weather to Kansas Has Greatly Reduced the Tiejd. Pastures Bare and Stock Water Is Becoming Scarce. Corn is being mat for fodder and silage in Kansas, owing to the dry weather, S. D. Flora, meteorologist for this section center of the United States -weather bureau, reports today in his weekly seyiew of crop and weather conditions over the state. The report covering the state and all crops follows, in full: "Drouth and hot weather continued over most of Kansas during 'the week. Some of the extreme northern coun ties and a few here and there in other parts had local showers total ling more than' an inch but fully two thirds of the state had so little mois ture it did no good whatever. Tem peratures of 100 degrees and higher occurred frequently in nearly all parts and helped to intensify the ef fects of the dry weather. Corn Cut for Fodder and Silage. "Corn has been greatly damaged, except in a few western counties, and the prospect even for a fair yield is rapidly diminishing. The low lands are 'Still in such shape over most of the state that they might be revived to a considerable extent hy timely rains, but the uplands are practically ruined as far as a yield of grain is concerned. The crop has passed the roasting ear stage except In the north western portion and the early corn shows less damage than the late planted, but Is filling poorly. Cutting for fodder and silos is becoming gen eral in the eastern part, tho failure of the crop to mature properly makes its feed value small. A few of the western counties, prominent among which are Cheyenne and Scott, have been favored by sufficiently heavy rains In the past few weeks to keep corn in good condition and growing nlnelv. "Pastures are practically bare, ex cept in the favored western counties alluded to above, and stock water is becoming increasingly scarce in the eastern counties, but there is not so far much more than tne usual snip ment of cattle for this time of the year. Some Wheat Sown. Fall nlowing has made excellent progress- In spite of the dryness of the ground and Is from half to three fourths done in the eastern two-thirds of the state. Some wheat has been sown in the northwestern counties. tho grasshoppers are becoming tnick in that locality. 'Threshing is about rimsnea, except in the western counties, where it is progressing well. "Apples are dropping badly In all parts and some trees are dying. "Sugar beets are good !.i the Garden City district, where the week has, been favorable for them. 'Grain sorghums generally are do ing well and resisting the drouth in good shape. Broom corn pulling has begun In tne southwestern counties, where the condition of the crop is fair to good."

Initial steps looking to establishment of government motor transport service in Kansas, was -taken today when the war department arranged with the state-highway commission for a co operative campaign in collecting much valuable information regarding trans portation service and facilities in this state. A commissioned army officer Is to be stationed in Topeka immediately and information will be gathered con cerning highway, steam and electric railway conditions. Major W. H. Boyden and Capt. C. F. Fletter are in Topeka today arrang ing for the organization of the new work. The army officials spent a por tion of the day with Governor Capper and officers of the state highway com mission. Preliminary plans for con ducting the work in fourteen states outside of Kansas have recently been made by Major Boyden. Highway Information. Detailed Information will be com piled at once concerning highway con ditions in all sections of the state. The information-will particularly concern the construction of highways to army camps from all large tewns and indus trial centers in Kansas. Building ma terials, grades, labor conditions, agri cultural and industrial conditions, will be carefully studied by; the war depart, ment representatives. v J R Is probable that the campaign which will be- conducted jointly with the state department will concern the much discussed motor transport service. Into Railroadless Localities. Opportunities for establishing motor service to many sections of the state will be studied by men in charge of the new government work. Plans v-hich may be established as a result of the present campaign, are expected to materially affects many industrial and market centers in Kansas. The question of steam railway and electric service, between towns and cities will be carefully Investigated and it is probable that plans may be laid for motor transport service into many lo calities which canot be adequately -or economically served by present trans portation facilities. Governor Capper told the army offi cials today that the Btate would co operate with the government in its work in Kansas. An experienced en gineer, representing the war depart ment, will probably be sent to Topeka at once to work with the state high way commission in the preparation of detailed data regarding highway and transportation conditions.

SEIZE TRAWLER AND RAID FISHERIES OFF THE CANADIAN COAST

Men From Hun Submarine In a xDaring Exploit. Raiders Say They Will Destroy Whole Fishing Fleet.

SHIP MANNED BY 1 MEN Has Mounted Two Guns and Wireless Ontflt. Destroyers Speed to the Scene s of the Sinkings. (By the Associated Press.) A Canadi-n Atlantic Pert, Aug.s21. The steam trawler Triumph, fitted with two guns and wireless ani manned by sixteen Germans from the U-boat which captured her yester day, is raiding the fishing banks oft the Nova Bcotla co-st. Cre t of the schooners ank by t" Triumph, have arrived here. Vessels known to have been sunk by the converted raider are the Una P. Saunders of Lunenburg, the A. Piatt Andrew of Gloucester, Mass., and the Francis J. O'Hara of Boston. Sank Several Vessels. Capt. Wallace Bruce, master of the A. Piatt Andrew, said on his arrival here that his vessel was held np by the Triumph yesterday afternoon and that he and his crew were given ten minutes to leave the ship. The Ger mans then sank her with bombs. The raider then bore down upon the Una P. Saunders and the Francis J. O'Hara and sunk them likewise. Dories carrying the crews of the three vessels reached here a 10 a. m. today. The fishermen say that while making for this port they heardfiring and believed other fishing vessels were sunk by the raider. Captain Myrrhe, master ot the Tri umph, who, landed here with his men this morning, said he was told by the captain of the submarine which cap tured his vessel, that he was only one of six TJ-boats operating on this coast. "We intend to destroy the fishint? fleets," the German commander said to Captain Myrrhe. Destroyers Hurry to Scene. Washington, Aug. 21. Strong forces oi swiit naval patrol boats and de stroyers sped today to the north At lantic fishing banks, where the trawler Triumph, captured yesterday by a German submarine whloh armed and manned her is reported raiding fish ing fleets. Naval officials here think recapture of the trawler or her en forced destruction by the German crewis a certainty. Washington, Aug. 21. Shrewdness of the Triumph's skipper enabled the navy to plan action against the new raider without delay. Navy officials concurred immediately in the opinion expressed by the fishing vessel can tain that the unusual behavior of the German prize crew evidently indicated their intention to use the vessel as an auxiliary Taider. .Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations, at once communicated the information to the commander of the first naval district at Boston. The number of patrol craft at the dis posal of the American commander will permit him to spread a cordon at right angles to the coast and stretch ing for fifty miles or so out to sea. This line should move forward at not less than eighteen miles per hour, a rate far in excess t anything the Germans can get oat of the Triumph Frank admiration ofThe courage of the German commander, who un doubtedly realized the eventual fail ure, was expressed by naval officers, although the military value of the Triumph's operations will be as un important as that of the submersibles themselves. An Atlantic Port, Aug.' 21. A Ger man submarine late yesterday seized the big fishing trawler. Triumph. The crew who have reached shore safelv. Isaid they believed the Germans in- tend to use the trawler as a raider. U-boat is "playing havoc" with the fleet of fishing vessels on the Grand .i.e.. icuvireu Ul.l LI1B sanK8. The Triumph was halted on the fishing banks by the U-boat and the crew was permitted to take to the aories. xne nsnermen said that the trawler was still afloat when thev last saw her. An armed guard of Germans hart been placed aboard and no prepara tions were being made to sink the ship, the Triumph's men said. This lea them to the conclusion that the Germans intended to use her as a raider. Not Good for Raiding;. Boston. Aug. 21. Fishermen here said that if the German submarine maae use or the trawler Triumnh seized as a raider they would have to recoai tne craft at least every ten days. The Triumph was manned by a Canadian crew and is owned by a Canadian company. The vessels is 125 feet in length and registers about 250 tons gross.

STENOGRAPHERS TO BE DRAFTED IN STATE FOR LAW WAR WORK Men Not Physically Fit for Front Rank Service Called. Take Several Hundred From Offices Thruout Kansas NO CHANCE FOR SLACKERS Limited Service Men Only Will Be Accepted for Duties. First Federal Move To Take Clerical Workers in U. S. Stenographers are to be drafted for war work. In an order today from Provost Marshal Crowder, Charles 8. Huffman, adjutant general, was directed to en roll limited service stenographers white men only who have had legal experience in training. The order is expected to take several hundred young men from the big legal depart ments sad law offices of the state who are not physically fit for front rank service. Copies of the Crowder order are to day being sent to all local boarda in Kansas. Arrangements ".ill be made for immediate Induction of an army of pot hookers and typewriter artists who possess a working knowledge of legal terms and procedure. The men are to be taken into the department of the judge advocate or provost mar shal general. They will be regularly inducted under the selective draft and wlj be sent to Washington or other cities for government war service. Limited Service Men. Only limited service men are to be taken for government stenographic work under the new Crowder order. They will be assigned- after induction and for the immediate present men of limited service rank may be taken thru voluntary enlistment. All local board members, however, are warned against promises or offers to men of special or definite assignment. Inability of the government to se cure the required number of compe tent stenographers called forth today's ruling.

Men physically fit for active front rank service will not be accepted un der the-Crowder call for stenograph ers. The regulation, however, applies to all registrants available for limited service whose experience will permit them to qualify for the work.

JONES BIRCH By-Product Gas Once Went To Waste WEATHER REPORT VTTEATHEK FORECAST for Kansas: Generally fair, continued warm, tonight and Thursday. i In the early days of making coke from coal what were known as bee-hive coke ovens were used widely. As in so many other in dustrles, the value of the by-products was overlooked entirely, and the gas which formed in the bee-hive ovens was permitted to escape into the air. There was little recovery of coal tar or other valuable chemical by-products. Then came the invention of the by-product coke oven, which made as good a grade of coke as the bee-hive oven and at the same time saved all of the gas, coal tar and other chemicals which formed In the process of coking. The by-product oven uses about one-third of the gas it manufactures as fuel to heat the oven itself. The other two-thirds is available for industrial or domestic 'UeL KANSAS NATURAL, OAS CO.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING: AUGUST 1918 GAINS 40 POUNDS Weaver Says Tanlac Is Worth Weight in Gold. Wife Finds Relief After Suffer ing 18 Years. The statement made recently by Ed ward Weaver of 700 North Ninth street, Lincoln, Neb., regarding the benefits his wife has derived from the use of Tanlac is not only interesting, but altogether remarkable. "If everybody only knew what a blessing Tanlac has brought to my wife," said Mr. Weaver, "in the way of health and strength there's not a one who wouldn't think just as I do that it's worth its weight in gold. She had been a terrible sufferer for a long time eighteen years, in fact and was totally unable to do any of her housework. She was so nervous the slightest noise disturbed her and she suffered with rheumatic pains all iver her body. She had no appetite and her stomach was so weak she had to live o.i a diet of the very lightest, sim plest things. She had awful nead aohes and life to her was just one un broken period of suffering. Sometimes he would have sinking spells v'nen it seemed like she was gone. "Now, some people may not believe It. but. it's the truth, she has gained forty pounds on ten bottles of Tanlac. andt her recovery has been almost like the; work of a miracle. Tanlac was bo well suited to her case that she im proved rapidly right from the start. Her appetite came back while she was taking the first bottle and it wasn't long until she could eat just anything, and. then she began to pick up in height and strength. Her pain and nervousness is all gone now and ahe rleeps good every night. She says she feels well and I know she must, for she certainly looks like a new person and T enn't praise Tanlac enough for hat It has done for her.' Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully McFarland Drug company. Adv.

BEST FLYER IN THE CAMP Superior Officers Pay Great Tribute to Loyal Topekan Overseas. He Gave His Ldfe Safeguarding I jives of Hundreds of Pilots. Robert T. Billard has received sev eral letters from France expressive of regret at the death of Lieut. "Phil" Billard. his brother, who recently was killed in an aeroplane accident abroad, while in line of duty. Besides expressing the heartfelt sympathy of friends, the letters are invaluable to the Billard family on account of their brief description of the manner In which the Topeka avia tor met his death. To most people who have a loved one taking an active part in the war. their greatest dread is to hear, simply of his death noth ing definite, no description no soft ening features which may make It easier to bear the worst fear of all the unknown. In a letter from Lieut. Paul Now ers, written July 28, Lieutenant Now ers says, "I was told of the accident this evening by a young aviator who was an eye witness to the affair and he said that Phil fought the plane all the time of the fall. He tried his best to right the plane but failed, the result being his death. The hard part of the whole thing is that the only way they, knew who It was was by the identification tags. There was absolutely nothing left of the boy, as the machine seemed to explode when it hit the ground, flying into a thou sand pieces. It was one of the new Liberty motors at that. This young fellow told me also how well Phil wan liked by all and at the time was the chief tester at the camp. He was con sidered the best flyer at the camps by me omcers in cnarge and everybody looked up to him." This, says Lieuten ant Nowera. is all that he was able to find out about the accident but adds that he will write further if he Is able to learn anything else. Chief Tester's Tribute. Lieut. William M. Conant, Jr., chief tester at the third aviation instruction I center writes on July 26 as follows: "My duties here as chief tester gave J me occasion to watch Phil's work t closely and I am writing you a few lines to tell you that he was without doubt one of the best men I had and was absolutely fearless. His ability as a pilot was unquestioned and it was a terrible bio r to see him fall. His ileath was instantaneous, so that there was no suffering. His loss In the country's service will be great because in doing the work as he did, he safe I guarded the lives of hundreds of less experienced pilots. His character was excellent and he was all that a man should be.! Lieutenant Conant en- closed a check for J60, sixty francs In I cash and a gold ring, which was all of value that could be found In his ef fects. I Another letter let from Lieut. Roy E. Keeling, S36th aero squadron in which Lieutenant Keeling says: "Thru long and intimate association, 'Bill, as he was always familiarly called, and I became the strongest friends." Lieutenant Keeling met Phil at Garden City, New York, where they joined the 60thraero squadron. "We came across on the same boat," says Lieutenant Keeling, "eating at the same table and being assigned to the same lifeboat. We were together during our stay In England, and came across the channel together. During our travels In France from post to post, we have always shared compart ments In trains and rooms In barracks. We would always go to town together, i and snare mutual jovs and sorrows. j We felt between us that great moving power wnicn oniy companionsnip in arms can bring about; we Were 'pals' in the largest and truest sense of the i word." It was In March, when according to Lieutenant Keeling, he and Phil were s parated, Billard going to the Third aviation center and Keeling to the Second. Later Phil was sent to Italy ior advanced training and after finish ing the instruction there he was re turned to his former post at the Third aviation center. Lieutenant Keeling says further, "It was a calm, x-eaceful day In the spring of this year, when a small fighting plane gracefully glided to earth, and once more, as the pilot descended from his seat, the smiling face of Bill greeted me. Twice month thereafter Bill flew to this fieid to see me, and the days of his Beul-ans Hot water Sure Relief BELL-ANS FOR INDIGESTION TODAY-TOMORROW-SATURDAY ENID BENNETT IX 'The Biggest Show on Earth' STEP rljfht thin way, LAD-tes and (.EN-tlemen. g It!

Lieutenant Keeling conveys to the Billard family the assurance that "in the death of their son, they should find not a cause for mourning, but rather motive for exultation and Dnde that he died the death of a soldier, sacrificing himself for the glorious cause of liberty and leaving behind him a heritage worthy only of him self." Word From the Major. MaJ. T. G. Lanphier, headquarters detachment of the Third aviation in struction center,' writes as follows: "Your brother was killed .in an air plane accident, such as Is bound to occur from time to time in the train ing of expert pilots. In almost all cases the cause of such accidents is purely a matter of surmise. In the case of your brother, it is impossible to ascertain the cause of the accident. inasmuch as he was an exceptionally good flyer, and the plane in which he was flying had been found all right earlier in the .norning. He fell Jrom a great height and it may be of some consolation to know that he was Killed instantly and suffered no pain. Ee was buried on July 24 in grave No. 46, of "'-e cemetery attached to this post. His funeral was conducted with full military honors and you may rest assured that his grave will be properly marked and kept by the government of the United States." In closing. Major Lanphier says, "Your only consolation must rest In the fact that your brother gave his life In the faithful performance of his duty to the end that our efforts may meet with success." This comprises all the details of the death of Topeka's popular "Phil," which have so far been obtained, nd outlines the faithful and fearless manner In which young Billard was "carrying on" his part of the war when death caused by the falling of his plane cut pff a career which all Topeka had hoped to hear from on the front as Americans premier ace. LABOR DAY PARADE Lineup of Event Here Next Month Includes Many Features. One of the features of the Labor Day celebration in Topeka will be the second local presentation of the "Spirit of Patriotism" pageant. The same children who took part in the recent production given under the auspices of the Knights and Ladies of Security will be used in the jabor Day presentation.

Unless Kansas Is blessed with gen eral rains within a mighty short time, the state Is in for an acute water shortage that bids fair to play havoc in the stock raising industry. Reports from all over the state indicate that wells are going dry. Coupled with the hottest summer on record, the con tinued dry spell has evaporated most of the water In creeks, and rivers. Ac cording to weather records no general rains have occurred for more than two months and in many parts of the state almost all forms of transporta tion have been pressed into service to aid in supplying water to farms and even cities have had water hauled in by the railroads. At Seven Springs, In Riley county. the big lake is dry, for the first time in twenty-five years. The lake was fed by springs. Due to the many deep wells dug by the government, no shortage of water is imminent at Camp Funston. In surrounding towns tho, -considerable apprehension is felt. Franklin county is probably harde hit than any other locality In Kansas. The Marias des Cvsrnes river which four months ago threatened to over flow its banks is drying up at an alarming rate. 75 GIRLS WERE HERE V. W. C. A. Conference Well Attend ed Rally Big Success: The Older Girls' conference which has been in session 'in Topeka at the Y. W. C.

Some lime was spent after the banquet in sing ing. The conference opened at 10 o'clock in the morning with the registration of the girls. The theme of the meet mg was "The Fourfold Life," and- the speeches emphasized the necessity of developing the physical, mental, so cial and religious phases of life. Ad dresses were made by Mrs. Florence Engle Northcott and Miss Lottie May Rose. The swimming pool was open to the girls of the conference during the afternoon. Speakers at the banquet In the eve ning were Mrs. H. W. Bomgardner, Miss Mbym Parsons, Mrs. Ralph Mc Intyre and Miss Geraldine Gregg. Miss Rose's address closed the conference at a meeting In the T.

LEADERS LOST AT HOME Clyde Reed and J. Will Kelley Both Beaten in Local Fights. Clyde Miller Slated for Republican Chairmanship Next Week. With party councils less than a week away, uncertainty prevails In political circles as to the men who will direct the campaigns from political head quarters this fall. Recent primaries upset a bunch of well laid plans and several men listed for high rank in party service, will work in the cam paign as partyf privates. There is little doubt that the Demo crats will name E- E. Murphy of Leavenworth as chairman of their state committee. Murphy directed the Bourbon campaign of 1914. There Is little doubt that the Thompson crowd will be in absolute control of the state committee and affalrs'of the council. As for the Republicans, their cam paign leadership is a matter of doubt and uncertainty. Clyde Miller, well known livestock and insurance man and one of the owners of the Miller ranch in Lyon county, is a state chairmanship possi bility. Miller was the Republican pnominee for congress in the Fourth district in 1916 and is well known In political circles in the state. He has Lnot announced his candidacy and at this time there Is an element of doubt as to the effort which he might make to win the election. It Is understood. tho, that he would go into the fight wun soua support or nis aistrict ana a very considerable outside following. Miller is now chairman of the Lyon county committee. Harvey H. Motter of McPherson, secretary of the Allen governorship committee, is another possibility for tne place at trie neaa ol tne state committee. Motter, however, has arranged to be out -of the state the greater portion of September, and it is not known whether he will enter the race next Tuesday. He has made no position concerning the action he will take. Several strong workers have urged that Motter be elected to the secre taryship of the state committee In event the commltee should name Miller as chairman. Clyde Reed Allen's Choice, Primary election results upset a bunch of carefully laid plans when several men slated for high party po sition were beaten for places on local committees. Usually a party ac cedes to the wishes of its governor ship candidates in the selection of a state chairman. In the recent v cam paign Clyde Reed of Parsons, would have doubtless been Henry J. Allen's choice. In fact, there is consider able reason to believe Allen approved the selection' of Reed before leaving tor v ranee. -i But Reed was beaten for commit teeman in a local fight. Reports from Parsons also indicate that Reed is blocked by the Pete Foley crowd in any move to become county chair man,. So Reed seems to be eliminated from the race. In any event the wishes of the Allen leaders will be considered'in the se lection of a Republican state chair man. But with the gubernatorial. can didate overseas, there is a decided un certainty and state organization of a dominant party in Kansas has perhaps never been more doubtful of leader ship on the eve of entering an im portant battle. Keller Lost at Home J. Will Kelley. of Topeka, was listed as acceptable to the Thompson forces for secretary of the state committee. But Kelley also lost a place on the county committee. This fact does not of necessity bar Kelley from an of ficial place In state headquarters, but makes quite doubtful the possibility of organizing support In his behalf. The Thompson interests are expected to control the Bourbon committee, but might concede the second place on the state committee in event ot a row. Leaders believe there Is slight chance of a row, and the advance count of noses Indicates quite clearly that the federal crowd will let nothing slip. Many of 'the leaders from over the state will come to Topeka Monday a day In advance of the meeting of the councils and state committees. In event the chairmanship troubles can not be settled in the next few days, the leaders will attempt to Iron out disputes and uncertainties Monday and Monday night and avoid an open fight on the floor of the meetings.

After the les son of Bolshevism, the constructive forces in the young country are growing daily, and there are indica tions that the time is not distant when Russia Will begin to see the light of a new a.id brighter life. The assassina tion of Count von MlrbaAi, the Ger man embassador, at ;cow, and of Field Marshal von Eichhorn, German commander in the Ukraine, by the Socialists-Revolutionists; the Czecho slovak movement, now in control of the Siberian railroad and almost bt the entire Volga region; the strong movement among the Russian peas antry and proletariat for a speedy convocation of the constituent as. sembly. a movement which resulted in great uprisings and strikes in Petro grad, Moscow, Nizhni Novgorod and many other provincial cities; the or ganization of an autonomous Siberian government and of the government of the n rt":. built on coalition principles, the allied program for immediate gen eral and military help to Russia en thusiastically accepted by the Russian democracy all these are signs that the time is not distant when the period of disorganization known in the life of every country that has emerged fr6m tyranny to' free democratic de velopment will pass, and the world will see the realization of President Wilson's statement in which the presi dent greeted the new Russian democ racy as a "fit partner for a League of Honor." As an illustration of what the war has done for the cost of living, it may be noted that in the five-year period. April, 1913, to April, 1918, food, as a whole shows an increase of 57 per cent. No article Increased In price less than 25 per cent. This lowest in crease was in butter. Every other ar ticle Increased 43 per cent and over. The increases in eleven articles ranged from 43 per cent to 83 per cent. Three articles flour, lard and corn meal increased 100 per cent, 109 per cent, and 142 pef cent, respectively. The crusades to rescue the Holy Sepulchre from the Saracen, pt,!;.' into insignificance when compared with the modern American crusade to res cue the body of murdered Belgium from her slayers. War fund drives. Instead of coming singly, .will hereafter come in bunches. Announcement is made by representa tives of the Y. M. C. A, T. W. C. A., the War Camp Community Service and the American Library association of a great union drive for funds dur ing the week beginning November 11, 1911. The arhount to be raised is J13J.500.090. The Huns are a humorous lot at times. One of their latest jokes is found in the announcement that American soldiers are armed with shotguns in violation of the Geneva convention. Has the Hun forgotten that a treaty is a mere scrap of pa per? candidates for re-election to con gress this fall will have a hard time in explaining certain things to their constituents. Those who favored low minimum price for wheat mast answer to the farmer for" their action, while those who Supported the; high minimum must give account to the Wage darners. The) fact tBat the farmers are sellers of wheat and the Wage earners buyers, makes it dif- ficult for the politician to reconcile the opposing interests and obtain the support of both elements at the polls It looks as tho the candidate Will be under the necessity of preparing tWo speeches, one for the agricultural communities and another for the dwellers In el tie. There is satisfac tion ia the reflection, However, that whatever happens to those who seek to represent the people at Washing ton, the country will survive and the war will bs won. GERMAN! SHOULD PAY. The American Defense society has adopted a suggestion made in the Manufacturers' Record of August 1 that Germany should be compelled to repudiate its entire bonded issue and all currency Issued to pay for the war. This would put Germany In a position to meet the enormous indemnities that should be imposed upon her, and It would be a most successful way to punish the entire people for their part in the crime of trying to loot the world. Is it conceivable that we should permit the 110,000,000,000 or more of bonds which the German people have gleefully taken because they expected that success would redeem these bonds and give them enormous financial profit by looting the world, to be made good by Germany, while Bel gium, France, Serbia, Italy, England and America have had to' bear the tremendous loss in lives and in money to keep these burglars, these looters, these murderers, these destroyers of womanhood and childhood, from overrunning the world? When the Civil war ended the south had lost all of the capital which it had invested in slavery, just as other sec tions had Invested their wealth in stocks and bonds. For four years It had been drained -to maintain its armies, until there was nothing left but a hollow shell. In this struggle the sonth lost every dollar issued by the Confederate government and dur ing four years for the carrying on of the war and for all the -trade which went oh at home. Not a vestige of capital Invested In Confederate money or bonds or slaves was left as a basis for credit, or as a starting point on which to rebuild. Jhls great section was bankrupt beyond the power of words to express; Its whole labor sys tem had been disorganised; most Of Its manufacturing plants had been de stroyed; its railroads were but thin streaks of rust; its livestock had been so completely used up to feed the armies that it was nearly fifty years after the close of the war Before the livestock of the south equaled in num ber what the south had in 18o0. Notwithstanding this indescribably desperate situation, the south imme diately began to contribute its full proportion of th hundreds of rail; Hons, which have since run Into bil lions, of pensions to the soldiers of the north, without, of course, a single dollar of pension to Its own soldiers. Heroically, as all Anglo-Saxons meet such situations, the South asked no favors. It Sought no pensions, It riever asked that the money issued to its people Should be redeemed. Why should we treat Germany any better .than we did Out own people? When we take into consideration the German character and crimes, why should we treat her as well? THE "CHILtt LABOR" PROBLEM. The old question of State' rights again has come to the front in con nection with the child labor problem. A law Of congress in relation td this subject has been declared Invalid by th United States supreme Court. It is now proposed to set aside the court's decision by passing a Similar measure as a waif emergency. Congressman Edward Keating of Colorado stands sponsor f6r a bill which would directly prohibit the labor of Children under the age of 14 years at any time And of children be 'tween the ages of 14 and 16 for more than eight hours a day or at night In factories, and of Children under 16 years of age in mines and quarries. These are- the standards Of the federal child labor law recently declared un constitutional by the supreme court. The new bill Seeks to fCstofe and maintain these standards during the war By direct prohibition under the war power of congress. It is believed by child welfare Work ers that prompt action by the federal government is needed, since it is known that many children wCmSBack to work immediately upon the decision of the court, and that the lure of high wages On the one hand and the high cost of living ort th other, are In ducing many others t6 keep but of school In the states which have not enacted these standards. The passage of the bill ap a war measure. It is held, will give the national child labor committee and the American Federa tion Of LaWor and others Interested Jrl permanent ehild labor legislation time te study the best methods of meeting the objections of the supreme court to the old law And to frame a bill for times of peace calculated to pass the test of Constitutionality. When the old law was declared sri constitutional It was Insisted by those Who were opposed to such federal legislation that the states would each take care of its own problems satis factorily. Th Opportunity soon came the legislature of Georgia, from which state strong disapproval of the old law 'had come). Convened a few Weeks after the decision of th United States Supreme court was handed down. A child labor bill embodying the standards of the federal law was Introduced in the lower house, but Was roundly denounced ort all sides and promptly rejected by a vote of nine to one In the committee to which it had been referred. The new bill has been presented to President Wilson, and he Is reported to have given It his unqualified ap preval. v TOFKKA STATS JOTJUNAX. INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HAflTtTN. Director, Washington, X). C legal protection for soldiers. Washington, D. C. Aug. 1. Almost Unknown to the public, there has grown up here in Washington one of the greatest legal tribunals in the country, if the number of lives and careers over which it exercises juris diction be a fair test of greatness. This Is the military jurisdiction divi sion of the office of the Judge advo cate general of the United States army. Besides looking after the legal af fairs of the entire military establish ment, the office of the judge advo cate general is, in a true sense, an appellate court, acting in an advisory capacity to the secretary of war and to the nresldent, who has final juris diction over every case involving the dismissal, of an officer of tne army. and every crime committed by an of ficer or an enlisted man which in volves a death or penitentiary sen fence. In a word, this is the tribunal to which nearly two million fighting men must look for justice now that they have lost their status as Civil ians. Since the war began, the military jurisdiction division of the judge ad vocate general's office has received and acted upon upwards of 15.00C court martial records, or an average of nearly 1.100 per month; and dur ing this period it has also disposed of nearly s.ooo cases or clemency, restoration and parole, or an average of over 600 Def month. -v It is proper to say that this court Is, -in a large measure, the outgrowth. of the present emergency, lor, at tne beginning of the war, while the legal department of the army was well or ganized to meet its then existing re quirements, its organization 'was wholly inadequate to meet the new responsibilities tnrust upon it. In order to understand the problem faced by the judge advocate general's office at the beginning of -the war, it is-necessary to know something of the organization and methods of mili tary courts, a subject of which the average American is profoundly ig-! norant, but which is how one of pe culiar interest to him. The military courts, or courts mar tial, have jurisdiction over all crimes and offenses committed by persons in the military service. But in time of peace, officers and soldiers, or others in the military service, who commit crimes and offenses against the civH law are usually surrendered by the military authorities to the civil courts for trial. In time of war. however, this is rarely done, so that now the military courts are exercising the jurisdiction of the ordinary criminal courts of the country, as well as Juris diction in cases of strictly military ortenses. J Therefore when the country Is In a state of war. the office of the Judge advocate general faces the heavy duty of an immense general criminal prac tice. The military jurisdiction division has to pass upon all of the crimes, misdemeanors and military offenses committed by nearly two million men taken from all classes of the popula tion and who have been tried by gen eral court martial. This means that it must be seen to that the general courts martial, which are called upon to try officers and soldiers accused of grave crimes and misdemeanors, such as murder, arson, bigamy, larceny, de sertion, treason, violation of the es pionage law, etc., are composed of men of Sound judgment, and, if pos sible, with legal training; and that the cases are prosecuted by fhoroly trained judge advocates. This, of it self, presents A most serious problem for the office of the judge advocate general. And the Interests of the of ficers and soldiers accused are not the only oneS at Stake. Where offenses have been committed against civilians, as in the case of the Houston riots and other instances which will readily come to mind, the communities in which they are temporarily resident have, necessarily, much at stake, and must depend upon the Courts martial for Justice and redress. But these courts martial are not courts Of final jurisdiction. In the more important cases, the office of the judge advocate general acts as an in termediate appellate court, with the president of the United States as the court of last resort. In all officers' J cases Involving dismissal from the service and all- cases in which the death penalty has Been imposed which have been decided by courts martial convened by the commanding generals of tactical divisions in this country, the president of the United States must act before the sentences can be executed, and, in the event of his disapproval of the sentences, the accused are released from arrest or confinement. In all Such cases Which are tried by general Courts martial, the records of thC trials must be sent td the office of the Judge advocate general, where the legality of th proceeding is passed upon." in the event that the office finds the proceedings illegal, the sentence is set aside; otherwise, it is executed. The only commanding gen-, eral who has now the' right to exe cute a sentence of dismissal of an officer or a sentence of death, without the intervention of the president or the Judge advocate general s office in this country. Is General PCrshlng, the commander -of the American expedi tionary forces lrt France. So far, he nas usea tnis prerogative in deatn cases only once, having sent every other SUch case to the president for final action. In every such case so forwarded to the president, the latter has commuted the sentence. The process of perfecting the ad ministration of military justice since the war began, therefore, has con sisted in Seeing that the Courts mar tial have been carefully organized, in structing the members of the courts and the judges advocate In th Sub jects of military law and procedure, ahd placing a check upon th action of the courts In the most Serious class of Cases in the Bands of the judge advocate general's office in Washing ton. In this work the best legal ability in the country has been called to the aid of that office. Before the war, the judge advocate general had as his assistants perhaps a dozen men trained in military law. He now has upwards of ISO of tho best civilian lawyer in the United States, all of whom have been commissioned as majors, lieutenant colonels or colonels. They constitute in a true sense a court of criminal appeals and are a guaran tee that every American citizen who leaves the protection of the civil Court in order to serve his country, shall still enjoy the legal rights which his citizenship confers npon him. These lawyers who hav been called upon to aid the war department in the present crisis, and who are performing work as Important as the work t officers In the field, recognize that many phases ox the problem submitted to them remain to be solved. For ex ample, th courts martial have many cases of Insanity and mental defect to deal with. Modern science, as best represented In this country by the psychopathic laboratory Of the Chi cago municipal courts, estanusned a few years ago by Judge Harry Olson, has shown that much of the crime Is committed by mental defectives and insane persona As yet, the United States army has no adequate means of identifying these individuals so as to exclude them from the fighting forces. Furthermore, now that they are in the army, it has great difficulty in getting experts to assist the courts in discovering them. But this lack Is recognized and will undoubtedly be supplied. Another difficulty faced by the Judge advocate general's office results from the fact that many of the men who arenow serving the colors are not familiar with military ethics. The ethical principles or precepts which regulate the conduct of "an officer and a gentleman," or a soldier who has served In the regular army, are taught the regular- army officer at West Point And are instilled into the regular soldier during the period of his enlistment. These principles are, to such offioers and soldiers, a clearly crystallized part of the traditions of his profession.-' But some of the fine points of these ethics are not evident to tho man who has been an officer or a soldier only a few months. With no preliminary training, and who has come from the farm, or th factory. Vfti dram!, a vnilnar lieutenant who had given up a four-thousaftd dollar job as an hotel manager a -few months before to accept a commission as sec ond lieutenant, one evening saw a brother officer of higher rank slightly intoxicated in an hotel dining-room. Acting as he would have done rt he had still been an hotel manager, he conducted the offender to A room in the hotel. A regular Army officer. dining in the same room with a party of officers and civilians, observed the incident and sent an officer to. look for the delinquent. When the officer so sent arrived at the room the de linquent Officer Was not there. His friend, the ex-hotel manager, had spirited him away to another room in the hotel. The investigating officer now demanded to know where the of fender svas, to Which the ex-hotel man Cheerfully replied, HI don't know." It was A white lib intended solely to serve a friend in need, but It vio lated ene Of the cardinal principles of military ethics as applied to officers, which makes it unpardonable for an officer to tell an untruth. When later this fact was brought to the attention of the young man, he Went Imme diately to his superior officer and made a full confession. He Was tried before a general court martial, con victed and sentenced to dismissal from the army. This was one of the cases in Which President WilSort exercised his prerogative by commuting the sen tence to one of reprimand and for feiture of pay and allowance for a short period. The policy is to use leniency in all sudh cases Where the letter of military ethics is violated, but its spirit is not impaired. All Important cases flow tried by general courts martial, such as cases involving the death penalty or dis missal of officers, come now directly to the military jurisdiction division of the judge advocate general's office, of which division a regular army Officer of long experience and thorO training in military law. is the chief. There an officer of that division reviews, every such ease. The review then goes to board of review, Is Carefully con sidered by it, and it then is submitted to the acting Judge advocate general.

EVENING STORY 1 That Genius, I- t BY VINCENT G. PERRY. Constance was the makings of a genius. All her girl friends had: told her she was, her teachers had hinted the same and her parents had whis pered it loud enough for her to hear, half a dozen times, so It Was rto Won der Constance came td BCliev it her self. There was only-one person who didn't seem convinced Of the fact, and that was Jack Armstrong. Constance did not mind that at first it would be very easy to show Jack how great she was. she had .thought, but as their friendship ripened and Jack kept en making love to her as if she was an ordinary nineteen-year-old girl, she did mind it- it was nice to have A Boy friend like Jack, who showered many attentions on her, and she didn't lik the Idea of giving Him up, but Just the sam s decided that Jack Would have to acknowledge her superiority before she became his wife. Then the verse contest came to Con stance's notice. There -Was her oppor tunity to show Jack and the whole world and make them proclaim her the genius that she had Been led to believe sne was. wny, sne naa writ ten versps since she was six vearS old! True, all of them didn't rhyme, and some of them didn't read as smoothly as they might- have, but some of- Shakespeare s lines dtdn t rhyme, and most writers of poetry run away from their meter now and then. The verse contest was easy. A leading magazine published an untitled picture and the contestants were requested to Send in a title for the picture in verse. Con stance studied the picture in what she thought was a true genius mood and set to Work en the verse title. The praise the verse she turned out won from her friends and relatives assured her that she was the Only one who ha A chance to win the $509 that was of fered. She had It all epent two hours after the verse was written. Jack was to call on her as usual that evening and she waited in antici pation. When he read the verse he would praise it as th rest had done, she felt sure. Her cheeks glowed and her band trembled AS she handed It to Jack to read. "Ahem!" Wis the first Sound that passed Jack's Hps. "What do you. think of it?" she asked eagerly. You hardly spent enough time on it, did you, dear?" he ventured. Quite enough for eucn a trining subject," she answered Indignantly. To have her work so criticised was a new experience to Constance. "There is a Break in tnejnete.- in the second and the last line," he criti cised again. "There is nothing of the kind!" she flashed. "What do you know about meter? This is not the first poetry I have written, I Will have you to un derstand." "I know It isn't and you do very Well, but we all make mistakes, you know," he half apologised. "Yes; some of us make very grave mistakes, too, Mr. Armstrong. It is getting late ,"I understand," Jack said, as he rose. "I hope you will feel bettor in the morning. It is not quite 9 o'clodk. but I think you need a rest." His tone was as Icy sS hers. But he Could not keep It up. "I would like to see you win the prize, Constance," he added, in a kindly way, "and I feel confident that you can win if you will only exert a little more effort." But it was too late to fix it Up. Con stance had bean led to believe that her poetry Was perfect and her pride had been terribly injured. Jack knew sh had been spoiled, So didn't say Any more. Constance was a pretty girl, and when she grew a little older in years and experience h eould see that sh would forget many of her Silly notions of her own selr-import-ance. Th more Constance tftdueBt over Jack's criticism, the more injured sh tnougnt sne was. r it Would mean the endof everything between them, on that score her mind was firmly fixed. It would be better for her to marry someone with more intelligence and finer feelings than Jack had. Her girl friends agreed with hen Jack was a nice boy, and All that, but he wasn't good enough for their Cdnstanee--flo indeed sne would Be able to travel on the $500 and it would be likely she wouiev. meet some distinguished man who would b mor than likely to fall in lore with her. She sat awake at nights and dreamed 6f It, The contest closed. The winner Would receive the check a few days before the next issue of the magazine. wnicn would nave tne Official an nouncement in, would appear. AS the day for the magazine to be released drew near, Constance found herself weary of waiting: Bit Could not See the need of the wait and it was cruel to keep her In suspense So long. How she pitied the other contestants when they learned they wr not the winner. For the first time It dawned Upon her mat pernaps sne would be one of the unlucky ones. The thought Chilled her. What if Jack had been right. after all? He hadn't afly reason to find fault with her verse If there hadn't been something wrong With It. j fie naa always been generous With his praise of her dresses and things like that.. But it -Was preposterous to think of him knowing anything About' poetry. It Was altogether Out of his lin He was A good automobile salesman, drew A good salary, and was a very fin young man. Sh had been A trifle hasty .In becoming' Angry at him And not Allowing him to call Just because he had criticised her work. It was much nicer to be an engaged girl than not to Be. That Was not fair to Jack. It had been Jack she loved: She hadn't Just Been IS !oV with Being en gaged as some of her girl friends Were. If she didn't win the prize money she wouldn't have a chance td travel and what chance had A girl to find a dis tinguished husband M a town Ilk that. Distinguished husbands were Very often unkind td their wiveSAeven if their wive Were highly intelligent- Perhaps she Wasn't A genius. Her friends had just said that to flatter her. If Jack was right about hef verse then he Was the only true friend she had. She got a Copy of her verse la make sure. After reading it over she saw that Jack had Been right. The verse wasn't even sensible, th way sne saw it now. wny nadri't she taken his advice? Of Course, sne couldn't wlrt the prize, she knew that without waiting to see th result an nounced. The disappointment proved toe much. She buried her head 1A A cushion add wept, Constance:- it was jack's -voice in the kindest tan she had ever heard him use. Oh, Jack, I AM sd glad you have come!" she exclaimed, as she almost threw her arms About hie neck. "You were right about my verse. It was wretehed. I haven't A Chance for the prize. Will you forgive me?" 'I am here In search of your for giveness," he answered. "1 am sure you would hvs wen the priz if it hadn't been for me, deaf." "I eouldn't have," she Interrupted. My Verse was terriBl. I See It n6W. Perhaps If t had taken ydur Advice 1 Would have had a chance. Just think What we could have ddfle With five hundred dollars. Won t the winner be happy?". "He Is very happyV'iJSck smiled. "Dd you know who Ba won ltf" She asked eagerly. He Could hold It no longer. With Shaking fingers he tdok A Check from hi pocket and held if up for her startled gaze. Jack." she gagbed. As sh realized what it meant, "yOu have won the Contest! t thought you couldn't write verse. How wonderful of you! You are genius." i "Nd, I'm just lucky, and hannv. dear," he laughed, gaily, "Just think how Cozy this five hundred Will make us.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- FINAL BREAK COMES IN RUSSIAN PARTIES Social Revolutionists Cut Loose From Bolshevik!. Anti-SoTiet Blots Break Out In Many Places. BEDS DEXOUXCE ALLIES SeTeral Hundred Officers Shot by Bolsherikl. Uncle of Former Emperor Has Been Placed Under Arrest. London, Aug. 21. A final breach between the two revolutionary parties In Russia was manifest from the open ing of the fifth congress of all-Russia n Soviets at Moscow early In July, according to a number of belated Reiner dispatches covering happenings In Russia during the first half of July. Uproarious scenes and recrimination marked the meeting of the congress. An assertion that a majority of the people in the provinces were opposed to soviet rule was made by Maria Spir laonova, of the social revolutionists of the left. A Moscow dispatch received in Am sterdam, July 26, reported that Maria Spirldonova had been one of the num ber of social revolutionists shot for the murder of German Ambassador iron Mlrbach. A small rising of armed social revo lutionists of the left, including sailors from the Black sea 'fleet occurred in Moscow, July 7, was suppressed after machine gun fighting in the center of the city. For a part of the day the enemies of the Bolsheviki held the post and telegraph offices. Some members of the leftists executive committee in cluding Miss Spirldonova, were ar rested. A similar rising, but on a smaller scale, took place in Petrograd. It was put down after the revolters had been bombarded by machine guns and ar mored cars. Arrested Social Revolutionists. On July 8. all the delegates of the Social Revolutionists of the Left to the all-Russian congress were arrested and the town and government of Vologda were declared in a state of siege owing to an anti-soviet uprising at Jaroslav. Railway and telegraphic communication between Moscow and the north was interrupted. The outstanding feature of the all Russian congress was the denuncia tion by War Minister Trotzky of the action of the allies in landing on the Murman coast and in helping the Czec ho-Slovaks. He threatened merci less measures of defense and on July 13, M. Tchitcherin, in a note to the British representatives in Moscow, made a sinister reference to "the re sults which may arise from the ex citement caused among the masses of the Russian population by the un provoked British attack on Murman." On the same dav eleven former of ficers who had served under General Alexieff were summarily shot In Mos cow as counter revolutionaries. On July 18 French and British military officers were prohibited from moving from one town to another and a strict watch on their movements was or dered. Officers Shot. Amsterdam. Aug. 21. Several run dred officers arrested in Moscow have been shot, according to a letter writ ten in Moscow on August 14 by Dr. Alfons Paquet and published in the Frankfort Zeitung. Some of the offi cers who renounced Russian citizen ship and acquired German or Polish passes were released at the request of the German consul general. The re mainder was sent to a concentration camp surrounded by artillery. The officers, it is added, were subjected to conditions "beggaring all description. Those imprisoned included a number of former generals and colonels. Doctor Paquet says that several hundred British and French business men have been arrested in Moscow and adds that further arrests are ex pected. Grand Duke Arrested. Amsterdam, Aug. 21. The former Russian grand duke, Paul Alexandro vltch, says a Moscow dispatch to the Lokal Anzelger of Berlin, has been ar rested by the Bolsheviki.

SHE ISN'T A CATHOLIC NOW SHURE AND THE POPE IS AFTER PEACE Here is the latest war story to reach Topeka: An Irish widow, a good Catholic, gave her two boys to the service. Be fore the war they had been Just boys and had never given her money or contributed to her support. Upon en tering the army each boy allotted half his pay .to her so that for several months she had been receiving $30 per month. She stopped going to church and the priest, noticing her continued absence, called on her to ask why she had been absenting herself. "I notice ye have not been coomin' to church for some time, Mrs. O'Hara; have ye been sick?" "I'm not goln' to the Catholic church eny moor, I'm a Presbyterian now." The priest was much surprised and asked for an explanation. "Well, father, before the war I nlver had a cint from ayther of me boys and now I am havin' S 30 a month from them, regular ivry single month, and that old pope of your"n down there at Rome prayin' for 'peace" ivry day, bad cess to him."

NEIGHBORHOOD ROW OVER TWO ELM TREES Mrs. Stanton Would Cut Them i Down They Spoil Garden. Mrs. Lux Gets Out Restraining Order Against Any Action. THERE FOR 20 YEARS Judge Whitcomb Agrees That They Should Stand.

Trees Spread Oyer. Yards at 1211 and 1207 Western Ave. They are Just two Innocent elm trees, modestly reposing in the back yard and lifting their stately branches as tho mutely appealing to the heavens for protection, but they have stirred up a "row" In the neigh borhood that has found Its way, in to the courts. Mrs. Julia N. Stanton, 1211 Western avenue, wants them cut down, on the grounds that they shade her garden too much, but Mrs. Samuel E. Lux, 1207 Western avenue, protests against this action, arguing that they are fine old shade trees and that their, de struction would be purely wanton. Furthermore, the loss to her property would be irreparable, she contends. So JUrs. Lux went straightway to her attorney, who went straightway to the office of the Shawnee county district court and filed therein a peti tion for Mrs. Lux, asking that a re straining order be issued by the court to prevent the destruction of the trees. And Judge George H. Whitcomb, after inquiring diligently into the case, straightway issued the restraining or der, advising Mrs. Stanton and Lau rant C. Schwartz, also named as a defendant in the petition,, that if they cut down the treets they would do so at their peril. Cut Into the Tree. Mrs. Lux alleges in her petition that about August 15, the defendants took an axe or some other tool and cut about two-thirds of tho way around one of the trees. Mrs. Lux called E. A. Reinisch, superintendent of parks, who made an examination of the tree and announced that its life might be saved provided it be treated by a tree sur geon without delay. But Mrs. Lux contends that the defendants in her petition would not permit her to have the tree treated andthat furthermore, they assured her that they would cut down the tree and use it for firewood. Mrs. Stanton said today that at one time Mrs. Lux had told her that the trees were pushing her fence out of line. Mrs. Lux declares in her peti tion that the party line between the two properties runs thru the center of the trees, but Mrs. Stanton insists that the trees are well within the boun daries of her own place. She admits that they started to cut the tree down, because it was shading the- garden too much. The trees are about forty or fifty feet high.' Mrs. Lux says she has lived at that place for fourteen years and that the trees have grown from little trees to "shapely shade trees to which the plaintiff has become very much attached." They have "grace ful, spreading branches," she de clares. Mrs. Stanton says she planted the trees twenty years ago. GIRLS' CONFERENCE ON Fifty Young Women to Register for Y. W. C. A., S. S.

NO ALLIANCE PLANNED Lord Reading Says Reports Concern ing V. S. and Britain False. London, Aug. 21. Lord Reading, the British ambassador to the United States, speaking at the American luncheon club today, denied reports that have been circulated that he had returned home to draft the terms of a defensive and offensive alliance be tween Great Britain and the United States. "There Is not a word of truth in the report," he said. The statement that Lord Reading had gone to England for the purpose of discussing proposals for closer Anglo-American co-operation "in volving a defensive and offensive al liance," appeared in the London Eve ning News August 14, and was cabled to this country- This report was promptly denied in authoritative cir cles at Washington.

GOT SHIPS EVERYWHERE Nation Is Still Short on Neces sary Tonnage. Brazil Gave a Ship Free lor, Two Voyages. Washington, Aug. 21 As a result of the allied successes during the past month the battle front In France from Rheims to the North sea, has been reduced In length more than fifty miles. General March told the news paper men today In his mid-week con ference. Thirty-Two Divisions Over. Thirty-two completely organized American divisions, around 1,400,000 men; are now in France. Chief of Staff March announced that the divi sions there are as follows: First second, third, fourth, fifth. sixth, s26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 32nd, 83rd, 35th, 36th, S7th, 41st, 42nd, 76th, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, gist, 82nd, 83rd. 85 th, 89th, 90th, 91st, 92nd, and 93rd. World Scoured for Ships. March pointed out that to accom plish this remarkable task It had been necessary to scour the world for ships; while to maintain the present progress and achieve the projected 4,000,000 plan would require gather ing still more shipping. The emergency fleet corporation is doing "splendidly" to catch up, March said, but hiring and chartering other ships will be necessary to meet .the. Increased effort. In commenting upon the shipping situation, General March divulged for the first time the fact that Brazil had given a ship to the United States with out compensation of any sort for two trips. He said that so far as he knew this was the only case of the kind on record. Fifth Took Frapellc. He identified as the Fifth division the American unit which captured Frapelle m the St. Die region, smooth ing out a salient, leaving the Ameri cans there only four1 miles from the German frontier. In answer to questions he reported thus on several divisions: Seventy-seventh last reported In the Voges; Thirty-sixth reached France between July 30 and August 13 and is being trained; Ninetieth in training somewhere in France; Eightieth went into the front line with th British In Flanders as part of its training and at the close thereof all elements were withdrawn: seventy-sixth, a depot di vision in the rear area; Twenty-sixth was in the Chateau Thierry fighting, took part in the capture of Torcy and Belleau and advanced to Bouresches and was relieved on the Marne about July 22. (March said this organization has done good work all along.) ,--Germans Had to Retreat. Reviewing events of the last few days, March pointed out that the al lies have continued their attack at widely separated points. In Flanders the flanks have been sent in by at tacks southeast of Meteren and near Merville. This rendered the new apex untenable for the German and he fell back one to two miles on a fourteen mile front. (East of Arras, on the Scarpe, the British advanced In sharp fighting, taking Fampoux. On the plains near Roye continued pressure by the French and British carried them well back of the old 1916-"17 line. Only Four Miles From Nojon. Between the Oise and Aisne, the French began attacks Sunday nieht on a fifteen mile front, gaining about four miles and placing them only four miles away from Noyon. In the Vosges the Americans took Frapelle, straightening out a' salient there. March had no official word of to day's British drive and hence .de clined to comment thereon. Discussing the shiD situation, the chief of staff showed that the success or present plans depends upon ships. America had none when the accel erated troop movement protrram started. Hence it was necessary to use the German interned vessels, to requisition Dutch ships and to charter and hire all that could be obtained from other nations. That has taken a large portion of money, for these vessels have proven expensive. March said in order to carry on the work as now contemplated, additional hiring and chartering must be done until such time as the American trans port fleet reaches the peak. March said he knew nothing of the race riots at Camp Merrltt. Mew Tork Stork' Market. (Furnished by T. J. Myers. 301 N. E. Bldg.l Kew ork, Aug. 21. i I Close Today Yes. 1 Am.

Wants $10,000,000 To Scour Whole Country. INTO THE TWILIGHT ZONE Believes Thousands Are Evad ing Tax Payment., They Grant Themselves Ex emption From Burden. Washington, Aug. 21.: A billion dollar drive on income and excess profit tax slackers will be authorized In the new revenue bill. To prevent -future tax dodging. Sec retary of the -Treasury McAdoo has asked congress for authority to force every person 'in the country to make an income tax return whether or not he is liable to the tax. These two moves to get every pos sible dollar to carry on the war, were revealed today in statements of In ternal Revenue Collector Roper be fore the house ways and means com mittee. -Billion for 10 Million. Roper assured the committee that if he was given $10,000,000 to hire the necessary force of accountants, he could collect $1,000,000,000. the sum he estimates the government has been cheated out of in 1916 and 1917 alone. The committee authorized the ap propriations immediately following Roper's statements. Coal companies are among the prin cipal tax dodgers. Roper showed. Auditing has been done by a force of thirty-five men working from June 1 to August 10. Farmers are also un der suspicion because of the fact that only 14,000 In the entire nation sub mitted tax reports last year. Roper'; report shows. Saloon Keepers Tax Dodgers. Only about 2 per cent of the na tion's saloon keepers made returns. Movie stars and actors are also go ing to be asked to verify press agent's reports of fabulous salaries. Rope, told the committee he plans to or ganize twenty auditing units of ex pert accountants, each unit to go into the returns of all companies in cer tain lines of business to get every dol lar due the government. The plan to force every person to submit tax returns, would, according to Roper, apply to the revenue bill, the same principles now applied in the draft. Go Into "Twilight Zone" This Is aimed at income tax payers who are in the "twilight zone." "If you will enable us to go more care, fully into that zone where the man passes upon his own exemption and determines himself whether he should or should not make a tax return, it gets, to my mind, a very large num er of additional tax payers and a large amount of revenue," Roper told the committee Thousands of persons of small In comes who are just on the tax border line, have been escaping because the department at present has no way of checking on them. Roper said. 10,000 Slackers In One District. In one district- there are ten thou sand persons liable to taxes who have made no returns at all. Roper also plans to send thruout the country, thousands of workers to explain the new revenue bill to the people in an effort to "sell the tax service" to the nation's taxpayers. An important part of the campaign Is the preparation of a farmer's ac count book prepared by the depart ment of agriculture to enable a farmer to keep closer tabs on his actual in come. Adopt 80 Per Cent Tax. The house ways and means com mittee today tentatively adopted an 80 per cent war tax and fixed excess profits tax rates for the new revenue bill. The war profit tax takes 80 per cent of all earnings of corporations in ex cess of their profits for 'the years 1911, 1912, 1913.

So pressed is the German general staff for metal that a decree has gone forth from Potsdam that all bronze and cast iron statues are to be melted down with' certain exceptions. The Rhtoeland -cities, proud of their historic monuments, are very angry with the order. The Cologne newspapers rudely remark that Berlin has nothing to lose by the destruction of its statuary, most of which is modern and indescribably hideoua The world would assuredly not be any poorer for the disappear ance of these appalling examples of Prussian art- The Berlin commission lias decided that the only monuments to be ex empted from destruetibh are to be those associated with the Hohenzollern family. This, as the Koelnische Zei tung observes, is the worst blow of all. for the Hohenzollern and Bis marck statues which sadden so many German cities are Just those which could be best dispensed with.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22. 1918 8 HOUSE WILL STAND BY BAKER ON DRAFT BILL JTew Manpower Bill Expected To Go Thru as Drawn by War Dept. Kwm Many Members of the House Will Fight Taking of Boys Under 20. IS MILITARY NECESSITY Administration Says Boys Most Be Taken If War Is To End Next year. Men Over SS Are Usually Unfit for Fighting, Department Says. Washington, Aug. 22. Congress takes up consideration of th man power bill today probably ths most important bit of war legislation since the first conscription act. In the senate, the discussion promises to range around the "work or fight" amendment, designed to head off strikes- In the house, the battle will range around the Question of age limits, particularly those under 20. Both houses hope to pass the bill this week so the registration can be held September 6. House Will Yield to Baker. Altho the house committee has re ported the bill with amendments which would make two special classes. one for those 18 years old, and the other for those 19 years old, not to be called until all other men are ex hausted, the house Is expected to over turn this amendment and give the war department what it originally asked- for. The war department has agreed to make the 18-year-old class a deferred one to be called last, but to make a second class of the 19-year-old men would seriously disrupt the plans for raising the army In a hurry -and will unquestionably be violently opposed. Republican Leads Fight for BUI. Significantly, the lineup in the house committee is practically the same as it was when the first conscription bill was passed. Then the house commit tee rejected conscription and declared for the volunteer army plan, but the house, under the leadership of Repre sentative Julius Kahn, Republican, upset the committee. Kahn again has come to the fore, and will appeal for complete support of the war de partment bill in its original form as presented by Secretary Baker. The vote is apt to give as sharp a lineup in the house as the original conscrip tion fight. In the last few days the members have been flooded with letters from their districts on the manpower bill. One Kansas member got fifteen letters in one mail yesterday. None opposed raising the draft age limits, but most of them expressed objection to going as low as 18 years. Must Go To 18. Unquestionably, going to 18 Isn't popular. No one wants to take boys that young if it can be avoided. But the issue has been presented to con gress as a military necessity to get the army quickly and of a size that can win the war. While those of 18 will be put in a special class to be called last, the Impression should not go out that they will not be reached. Quite the contrary, to get the size of army America .has embarked on to win the war quickly, it will mean eventually going thru the entire list. That has been made plain. To add 19-year-old boys to this special deferred -class simply would raise rumpus with the whole plan that is being worked out for quick mobilization of the army and would not delay except for a few months the service of young men of that age. On this account, it is be lieved that the house will declare against the committee and give the war department the bill it asked. But it will be a fight. No Men Over 36 for Actual Fighting. Members tonight are anxiously try ing to gauge how the people back home feel about it. Elections are near at hand and they don't want to run counter to sentiment. It is generally believed that President Wilson will throw his weight behind the original war department bill. If he does, the -fight will evaporate. Mighty few men above 36 who are taken In the draft will be put In ac tive combatant service. Some of them Will be shot Into combatant duty un questionably, but the bulk of them will "be used on desk jobs and in such lines of work that don't require such phy sical demands, thns releasing younger men lor lighting service. FEAR SEVERAL DROWNED Canoes Towed by Motor Boat Broke loae and Some Capsized. New York, Aug. 22. Patrol boats and fast small motor craft were scour ing Sheepshead bay near here today, searching for ten canoes, still missing after a night spent on the water. They broke from a tow line attached to a motor boat during heavy rolling of the seas. One woman's body has been washed ashore and ftars are felt for occupants of the missing boats. About twenty craft were attached to the tow line when it broke and when one canoe overturned occupants of the other boats became panicky and soon several persons were struggling In the water. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From fh column if THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL AufDlt TZ, 189S.
