In the north the British are push ing toward Le Catelet and have ad vanced a mile nearer the town on the west, capturing an important farm position between Epehy and Lempire. South of this point the Australians are east of the outpost positions! of the Hindenburg line and the steady prog ress of the British threatens the main defense of the line all the way from Lempire to St. Quentin.

In the region of Al lemant, where the French are within two miles of Fort Malmaison, which dominates the ridge on the west, the enemy Thursday night hurled five at tacks against the French. Ali the at tempts were broken up with extremely heavy casualties for the Germans. 1 Northeast of Vailly on the Aisne. the French are advancing toward the Chemin dps Dames and have wrested further valuable ground from the enemy.

(By the Associated Press,) British forces have wrested from the Germans a long stretch of the ad vanced elements of the Hindenburg line north of St. Quentin as a result of the attack begun on Wednesday morn ing. To the south, the French are slowly but steadily approaching the main German positions north of La I ere, having taken several villages ana mtrencnea positions during the past two days. This success by the allies on a front which is one of the principal bastions of the German po sition in France, has apparently alarmed the enemy who has been launching counter attacks along the line.

IT ISlP TOlOD! Topekans Asked To Volunteer Loan Subscriptions. First Week of Campaign for $2,500,000 in Shawnee. At a meeting of the publicity com mittee of the fourth liberty loan drive in Topeka with Chairman J. R. Bur row today It was recommended that Topeka inaugurate a new plan of. pa triotig response on the part of the government's probable $2,600,000 re quest from this county for the three weeks beginning September 28. For the first week of the drive, ac cording to Chairman Burrow's pres ent plan, the subscribers of Shawnee county will be placed absolutely "on their honor." In other words, instead of sending out committees of business men to plead for subscriptions, it is proposed that Topekans make volun tary offerings with their banks. The serious shortage of help in all shops, stores, offices and institutions necessitates the new method. It is hardly fair, the committee believes, to ask business men to leave their al ready crippled offices and spend I strenuous three weeks "teasing" lib erty loan subscriptions from patriotic citizens whose one duty It is to con tribute to the government in these im portant war times. Topeka and Shawnee county in the third loan contributed 32,572,000. This is a 150 per cent record. The quota called for only $1,271,000. Thou sands oi dollars in increased wages and back pay is pouring into the city from railway sources these days and the loan directors believe it is up to tne people to conduct at least a week s campaign against their own personal i pocketbooks. The members of the publicity committee appointed by Chairman Burrow are: Phil Knstman, Marco Morrow and Arthur Car ruth. The banks in Shawnee county where sub scriptions may be made follow: Bank of Topeka, Central National bank. Citizens State bank. Farmers National bank.

Her zegovina and Croatia are to be formed into a single provincial government under the Austro-Hungarian empire, with Count Tisza, former Hungarian premier, at Its head, according to an official dispatch today from Switzer BLOCK THE HUNS? Poles, Czecho-Slavs and Jugo slavs May Unite. Would Form- Triple Alliance Against Aggression. A BAR TO "MITTLE EUROPA" Oppressed Peoples Welcome Wilson's Beply. Are Against Any Compromise Peace Settlement. Washington, Sept. 20. Triple alli ance of Poland, the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs for a united stand against Germany and Austria, was held possible here today by Dr. Thomas Masaryk, chairman of the Czecho-Slo- vak national council, and commander-in-chief of the Czecho-Slovak forces ir Siberia, France and Italy. Doctor Masaryk pointed out in an interview that essentially the three greatly oppressed nationalities have common grievances against Austria Hungary and that it is to their mutual advantage to lend every assistance in bringing victory to the entente that Germany may be beaten and the Haps- burgs overthrown. He also indicated that the geograph ical relationship of the Poles, Czecho slovaks and Jugo-Slavs, as well as their common bonds of sympathy will make close co-operation highly im portant. Barrier Against Huns. This co-operation will form a solid barrier, he indicated, against German aggression in Russia and the Balkans and will prevent a possible restoration of the Austrian imperial scheme after Germany has been decisively defeated and the Hapsburg dynasty abolished. There have been many inquiries from close observers of the Interna tional situation as to how Bohemia and Moriva could long stand alone in their position against the Germans and the Magyars without financial am ana commercial domination by the central powers. The answer is that tneir vasi peace-time manufacturing enterprises, will sell to Poland and thru Poland to Russia and will draw raw materials from this same channel and that they will reach the sea thru free Jugo slavia. Praises Wilson's Answer. Doctor Masaryk is delighted with President Wilson's answer to the Aust trian peace move. "President Wilson's answer was right and it form abrupt and short was sDlendid. a wonderful, stroke. he said. Doctor Masaryk declared the Czecho-Slovak desire to dismember Austria-Hungary cannot be considered as a selfish one. He asserted that just now tempting offers may be made the Czechs by Vienna. "Austria would willingly give us everything we desire, but under Haps burg rule. This is not sufficient, as with the army controlled by Vienna, the oppressed peoples would be pow erless. The American recognition of the Czecho-Slovaks was most com mendable, is an inspiration to our people. We already decided to throw our full energy against the central powers, but the moral support given us by the United States and the en tente cannot but lend great encourage ment to our widely scattered spheres of activity." OFFER IS STILL OPEN Austria,. Rejected, Sues Again for rhnim in Secret Pmns Conference. Amsterdam, Sept. 20. Notwlth- standing the apparent rejection of the :"".nf?ZlVll0l r,r JSJ the possibilities of peace, that gov-i ernment's offer is still open, says an bfficial statement received from Vienna today. The statement reads "From reports received from abroad, the rejection of the Austro Hungarian government's suggestion that a preliminary discussion of the peace question be entered into can hardly be longer doubted. Official Reply Not Vet Received. "The official reply to Foreign Min ister Burain's note has not yet been received and therefore the reasons which prompted the attitude of the governments -of the ententte cannot be discussed at present. Only from Secretary Balfour is an -exhaustive discussion of our suggestion available. His arguments show how correctly Baron Burian's proposal judged the situation and that only the adoption of Baron Burian's line of thinking could master the confusion of minds prevailing everywhere until today. "The peace question as discussed by Secretary Balfour and the same applies -to the debates in the French and American senates under the pressure of big catchwords and over mastering passion, cin naturally make no favorable progress. Especially re-, gurding Mr. Balfour's speech, it must be pointed out that it contains a series of rash conclusions concerning the attitude of the central powers toward concrete peace questions which he would not have arrived at had he entered into a discussion- ir. the spirit of Baron Burian's proposal. "Only If discussed under conditions free from the influence of passion can the peace question make that prog ress which is in the interest of humanity.

ARE READY TO GO 'Allied Forces May Strike Hard at Any' Moment, Germans Are Kept Guessing All Along the Front HUSS IRE FIGHTING HARD Hindenburg Hits Back To Pro i tect Vital Lines. Compelled To Use Up His Badly Needed Reserves. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Paris, Sept. 20. Von Hindenburg has begun to hit back. With his main line defenses every where menaced and facing a possible second rretreat far more disastrous than the first, he is being forced to sacrifice part of his previous reserves in an effort to save himself.' The latest news,, as this is cabled, is that the German armies have everywhere been repulsed in their counter attacks, while plies of dead boches lie before the British lines between Cambrai and St. Quentin. Meantime Generals Byng, Rawlln son and Debeny are enclosing St. Quentin, one of the most important pivotal points or the Hindenburg line, which is exactly what Hindenburg had hoped to prevent. With the regularity of the swing of the pendulum. Mar shal Foch is hitting the Germans hard all along the line. The Huns are re ported madly digging themselves in from the sea to Switzerland. Expect Blow Everywhere. Not knowing where the next blow will fall they are expecting it to fall everywhere. Fearing for Lille anil Doual, von timaenburg has been forced to con centrate a part of his available re serves there. Cambrai and St. Quen tin are threatened, so another mass of -men is required in this region. General Mangin's menace toward they-keystone positions northeast of Soissons necessitates a' third batch of reserves. r General Pershing's press toward Metz and Briey and the very gates to Germany itself, calls for a fourth group, while the fear that the allies f.wlH strike toward the Rhine thru Alsace is keeping the Huns worried there. Thus Marshal Fbch's strate v is to -split up von Hindenburg's forces until tne German leader will not be able to put much punch into a blow anywhere even if he should have more troops in reserve. is generally believed here that the ext tew weeks ought to write history.

Offensive operations towar-J Mets strike at one of the most important German bases in the west. The city and the twenty-eight encircling forts comprise what has been regarded as one of the most formidable fortresses In the world. Metz also is the center of important iron fields, which befora the war supplied France and Germany with more than two-thirds of the ore used by their iron manufactories. In Heart of Iron Fields. Metz is on the Mosselle, ten and a half miles west of the French border. The city lays astride the Moselle river as well as on both sides of the Settle. Part of the city is on islands in- the) Moselle. To the east, north and north. west are the iron and coal fields of -French and German Lorraine. De- prived of these fields Germany could not conduct the war another three months, it is asserted. The chief iron field of the Rhine district is that of Lorraine, including the Bassin de Briey, (the center, of -which is the little village of Briey), the greatest iron producing region in the world.. It is-locatea mainly in Alsace-Lorraine and overlaps Into Bel eium and Luxemburg. It extends along the Franco-German frontier for thirty- five miles, almost up to Pont-a-Moua- son. Germany's possession of the major portion of this productive area follow ed the signing of the treaty of Frank fort in 1871. Previous to the present war Germany obtained, irom tne mines on her side of the frontier 21,000,000 tons of her total annual production of 28,000,000, while Franca got 15,000,000 out of a total produc tion of 22,000.000.

I have -been subject to rheumatism for a great many years," he continued, "but for the past five years I have been so crippled up with it that 1 could hardly get around. -There was dull, throbbing pain in my hip joints, which at times would go down into my legs and every step I took I could feel 'that pain. My kidneys were in, bad alls i m anil mv ttflnlr rtflinAd m a terriblv i and would be so stiff some mornings that I could hardly get out t 1L MY legs wiKild get so stiff and hurt me so i at times I could hard'..' hobble around.

It had begun to look like I was going to get down and out for good. K "I decided to get me some Tanlac and see if It would help me, arrd be fore I finished my first bottle I could telt It was doing the work; I have taken three bottles now and it's the honest truth, I feel all of twenty years younger. The rheumatism bothers me very little and the stiffness has gone out of my legs entirely. My kidneys are In fine shape, my back don't hurt me any more gnd I can get around as well as I could when a boy. Another thing. Tanlac has given me a fine appetite and I don't remember ever getting more pleasure out of eating and I can do a good day's work and Htill feel fine. There's no getting away from It, Tanlac has certainly done me a world of good and I will always boost it." t Rheumatism is not only one of the most prevalent, but one of the most painful and difficult to treat of all present day diseases. When tfie diges tive organs and bowels are not work ing properly, and the kidneys become clogged up, the whole system beeomes deranged -and saturated -with uric acid poisons and other impurities, which accumulate in the joints and other parts of the body and produce the condition known as rheumatism. Tanlac is a wonderful reconstruc tive tonic and quickly overcomes this condition by acting dlreetly on the vital organs, toning them up and enabling them Ho perform their proper functions, so that the impurities are soon eliminated from the system in the natural way. Liniments and ex ternal applications, as a general thing, only afford temporary relief. Tanlac Is a constitutional treatment and gets right at the root of the trouble by re moving the cause.

Washing ton, p. c. Movie pictures should, be censored by the war department. v The mar velous methods used by the slick haired actors in capturing the kaiser and tbe tactics used by the movie companies 'in swooping down upoa Wilhelm and whisking him away to some pretty girl's house is giving away war secrets that could be of great value to Germany in protecting her emperor. The kaiser has been captured four times in the last three weeks in Topeka. The 7 in 1 war Work, campaign should run just twice aa smoothly as "3 in 1" could oil it. B. L. T. of the Chicago Tribune says the St. Mihiel-Metz drive should be termed, a la printer linquo, a "2-em dash." "Major Attack" is becoming one of the sillies' most efficient officers on the western front. Soon the major should be promoted to a "general." When the allied line hits there's go ing to be an awful washout on the Hindenburg line. If the Serbian offensive keeps go ing it is pretty .nearly certain that the Bulgarian divisions in France will hear "the Macedonian call." If the women, IS to 45, we-e asked to register for the draft the govern ment would have to taka a week off to handle the registration. "Fighting weather", ends in four weeks, European war experts declare. But American officers insist that they are going to France to fight, not to hibernate. Keep the home fires burn ing! With the present cost of clothing, it is assumed that the government soon iill inaugurate a national "swat the moth' day. The Balkans started the war. Now if the present drive will only be suc cessful the Balkans will have a hand in ending it. If a man wishes to be elected to of fice this year he .should adopt a "cheaper shoes" platform. "American Troops on German Soil" headline. Just for instance, sup pose we say "American, soil." WOMEN SLOW DOWN! A Topeka dry goods merchant was -asked about; business the other day. He answered that business was good and gave as one explanation the trade from women who now are holding men's jobs. From Washington this week came the declaration that the women of the nation were spending recklessly the wages they were making by holding men's positions in the business world. Isn't it Just like a woman? The women must learn differently. They must realize that they are taking a place in industrial and economical life because the men have gone to war. These men are supported in the war by the sacrifices ot the people at home. These sacrifices cannot be made efficiently and properly .unless entered upon by the nation aa a whole. In other words, when a woman re ceives her weekly pay envelope and rushes with it to the dressmaker' or the milliner for expensive and fancy finery, she is robbing, actually depriv ing, the boys In France of supplies and necessities. She is taking advantage of her newly endowed position in bus iness that she might pile more Incense. in the pot for her worship of vanity. There is no class distinction now to bring tears to the eyes of the "poor working girl." The offices, the shops. the stores are full of girls girls from all families la every station of life Simple, clean and neat clothing is all any employer asks. Customers aren't ambitious to be waited upon(by Georg ette crepe queens. Girls must-unaer- stand that men have working clothes should women. It girliC wages are not needed to pay the family bills, there la a world of opportunity for investments that will bring victory nearer and prove of val ue to the women in after years. But under no circumstances should there be aa inconsiderate and thoughtless expenditure for female fineries. It isn't fair to the boys over there. r 1 1 1 GIVE YOUR OLD CLOTHES. "Go up Into the closets and dig out all the old clothes that can be found there. Tie them up into a bundle and just after you have lunch Tuesday put the bundle out on. the front porch. Motor cars will gather up the bun dles." That Is the message sent to the peo ple of Topeka today by Dr. J. D. Free man, chairman of the conservation committee of the Topeka chapter of the Red Cross. A special call for old clothes has come thru the Bed Cross from the refugees and Imprisoned people of France and Belgium. Here are the instructions received from the Red Cross as to what is needed: Every 1-lnd of garment, for all ages and both sexes, is urgently needed. In addition, piece goods light, warm. canton flannel and other kinds of cloth from which to make garments for new born babies, ticking, sheeting and blankets, woolen goods of any kind and shoes "fjf every size are asked for. Scrap leather is needed for repairing footwear." Since the clothes will be subjected to the hardest kind of wear, only gar ments made of strong and durable ma terials should be sent. It is useless to offer to any afflicted population gar ments of flimsy material or gaudy col oring. Make the gifts practical. Garments need not be in perfect condition. A hundred thousand desti tute women in the occupied regions are eager to earn a small livelihood by repairing gift clothing and making new garments adapted to needs with which they are familiar. Woolen goods of any kind whatso ever are acceptable; soft hats and caps for all ages, and sweaters of any kind and size. Men's shirts and pajamas, so worn or shrunken as no longer to be serv iceable, are particularly welcome, since the material can be utilized for making children's garments. Do Not Send. uarnraui or. xiimsy material or gaudy coloring, boll dresses, high heeled slippers, etc,. 1 Stiff hats, wither men' or Women's straw, dress 'or derby. Anything containing rubber, rain' coats, rubber boots, etc. Note: Rub' ber heels can easily be removed from shoes. Books, toys, soap, toilet articles. jNotes or communications of any sort or description must positively not be sent. Tuesday. September 8. is Old Clothes Day in Topeka for .the refu gees ot the war zone. Germany explains the American bombardment of Metz as a "concomi tanl phenomenon." If the people of Germany are able to understand this explanation of defeat to their arms it must be admitted that kultur is a great success. WHY "SOCIETY"? The boys have gone to war. The young men haves gone or are going. t The married men who have not gone are supposed to have dependents who must live by their daily wage. The older men, above draft age, en joy life at home before the fire or un der the covers. So why society wasteful, veneered, stupid during this strenuous winter of war preparation, war manipulation, war operation? Social extravagance was frowned upon last winter. It should be classed strictly as a "non-essential" and 'diS' loyal" this winter. It a man of draft age is able to keep himself and wife in society he is abio to make provisions for his family and leave them while he sojourns in the olive drab. There is only one real "society" these days the social intercourse be tween those who nave given tr era- selves up to the supreme sacrifice. FllppanC dances, needless and dull receptions, elaborate and expensive parties any means of buttering the social crust should be deemed un patriotic Every man, these days. Is attempt ins to fill In the office, in the shop and at his desk the places formerly held by two, three and four employes of be- fore-the-war tiroes. He needs early' to-bed and early-to-rlse tonio that he may continue his stride until after the boys come marching home. Women, with Red Cross and war relief organ izatlons appealing for aid, should con serve and reserve their energies for these vital and needy tasks. Society, as it has been operated in the past, is a series of heat-wasting, light-wasting, food-wasting, clothes wasting, energy-wasting frivolity and luxury. The word "Paris" In the society col umns ot the newspaper during this winter will not mean fashions. It will mean something much closer to the soul than clothes to the skin. Let social distinction make way for service distinction. THE TOPEKA 'DAILY STATE JOURNALe-ERIDAY TOPEKA STATU JOURNAX. INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HASKXN, Director, Washington. D- C. THE FREE POUT QUESTION. Washington, D. C. .Sept. i: Do we want free ports? After -a complete investigation of this question, during which the testimony of hundreds of American business men was heard, tne United States tariff commission has reached the conclusion that we do. A report embodying a recommendation to this effect will shortly be submit ted to congress, where a bill providing for the establishment of free ports. has already been introduced. In the meantime, many people, coniusea py vague definitions, are demanding to know what a free port is, anyhow. A free port is not, as some mistaken individuals have claimed, an institu tion that will enable us to buy food as cheaply as they buy it in Europe, or that will permit us to import French tapestries and Brazilian diamonds free of duty. It will not affect most of us at all, except indirectly thru the pro motion of our national prosperity, and we will be kept out of its precincts by strong armed guard. A ires port is merely a barred zone adjacent to a port, where goods may be landed without any customs formalities; stored for indefinite intervals, and re exported. Between it and the main land are the regular customs author ities who place the usual taxes on all goods being shipped Into the interior. in other words, a man may brine a shipload of Panama hats into a free port; put American hatbands on them and ship them to Great Britain with out paying a cent of duty. But the same hats consigned a firm in the United States would have to pass thru the hands of the customs officials and pay a tax. The chief object of the free nort therefore, is to facilitate foreign trade. The end of the war will see this coun try in the possession of a large mer chant marine, and with machinery for production out oi all proportion to the demand of our domestic markets. An outlet for the surulus must be found in the markets of Europe, where ma terials wiu oe scarce for years to come. At least, so argue our economists, who urge that the nation begin at once preparations for this large volume of foreign trade that U certain to follow roe war. One of the first obstacles to ba elim inated, if we are to build up a large foreign commerce, is our clumsy cus toms collection machinery. Something must oe aone to speed up tne unload ing and reloading of cargoes. Under present conditions, for instance, every vessel arriving at the port of New York must secure a preliminary per mit before it can dock and unload its goods. Furthermore, this permit must be in a shiD's noasession tvsntv.fmir hours before docking. While a pre liminary permit may be taken out by the ship's agent in advance of its ar rival, in many instances this is not done, and the usual twenty-four hours delay ensues. Then the vessel is allowed to dis charge its cargo on the pier, but here, too, it is held up until samples of each shipment may be examined by the customs authorities and sent to the customs appraisers. A great deal of tne merchandise must be weighed while on the pier, and a .mass of red tape makes the loading ot lighters for Delivery to other piers, a tremendous task. The result is pier congestion. Cargoes become piled ud: other shiDs ere delayed in docking for want of room to place their goods, and the yiera, ure ceuiers ot noisy contusion, with importers, captains, ships' agents and customs officials rushing madly around, losing their tempers and im portant papers. A representative of one large steamshiD comoanv declares that its sh.'pc are. often delayed at the piers ror roar or rive days at a stretch. It goods are to be marketed imme diately, the duties are paid as quickly as possiDte ana permission to remove them from the piers secured. If they are not to be marketed immediately, they are usually placed in bonded warehouses, so that the duties do not have to be paid at once. Certain fees are charged by the warehouses, and innumerable papers must be filled out. The sale ot goods stored in these bond ed warehouses is extremely difficult. Purchasers can examine it only under the careful scrutiny of the customs of ficers and usually under adverse con ditions, in a place where the light is dim, where the articles are hard to get at, and where the baclcground is any thing but lovely. Under these circum stances, the most expensive luxuries sometimes appear dingy, and the mild est customers obdurate. In cases where firms imnort certain European materials and combine them with American materials for reship- ment, as in the case of the Panama nats and American hatbands, they usually use the drawback system. In other words, they pay duty on the goods, and when they reshlp it the government returns them 99 per cent or ineir payment. Known as a "draw back." This system has many disad vantages, also, for there is many a slip betwixt the manufacturer and the drawback. He must have all tbe pa pers incidental to the first payment of duty, and if merchandise has coma in on different ships in different con signments, these amount to a, small volume. Every bill of goods must be located on the customs records nd Identified before the drawback is authorized. These are onlv some of ti Hr.i,i ties enumerated by business men as reasons for the establishment of free ports. Separated from the rest of the port by natural or artificial bound aries, a free port has its own wharves. warenouses, ractories, and all the lat est mechanical equipment for the ex peditious handling of cargoes. ShiDs can dock there without a permit, pre liminary or otherwise: land their troods without delay, and forget that there-is such an unmitigated nuisance as a cus toms regulation. Firms with factories witnin tne tree port can unload their a-oods directlv from vessel tn nrtnw room, arrange it for sale in their own private salesrooms, or reship it when ever they get ready. The worst objection to the free nort is its German origin, but as one noted commercial authority points out: "At a time when the United States Is look ing to foreign markets as an outlet to her future industry, German methods are especially worth while studying. since Germany in the space of thirty or forty years developed from an agri cultural nation to a commercial nation of first rank." Before the war, Ham burg was the. great free port of the world, and occupied an important place in Germany's commercial expan siona place created largely by acci dent. v Before the "German federation In IS 71, both Hamburg and Bremen were independent cities and --had occupied that status ever since the fourteenth century when various independent cities banded 1hemelve i-ito foe TTan seatie league and kept their gates open to trade without duties, despite tbe op position of petty nobles. When they came into "the German empire it was with Jthe understanding that they would remain outside the German cus toms union, but later they agreed to a plan proposed by Bismarck, whereby the cities should enter the customs union nd their harbors be left free. So began tbe free port as it is today.. Hamburg soon began to attract at tention by its success as a free port, and Denmark built a free port at Co penhagen in rder to meet the compe tition. The Either two great commer cial cities in this part of the globe, Antwerp and Rotterdam, did not fol low suit, nbr aid tne otner two great commercial nations. England and France, establish free ports. Free ports were impractical tor them be cause England was a free trade na tion, and Belgium and Holland were semi-free trade nations, while France was largely a manufacturer of lux uries which are less expensive to nan die than bulky staples. Germany, on the other hand, had a high scale of tariff such as that which prevails here in the United States. Her home in dustries were protected by prohibitive duties and interminable customs reg ulations, but she encouraged and pro moted her foreign trade thru the me dium ot her free ports. ON THE SPUR OP THE MOMENT BY ROT X. MDULTON The women are taking men's places all right. Four of them arrested at Coney Island for playing poker. Our idea of nothing to read on a humid day is the diary of the late czar ot .Russia: "Breakfasted with mamma." "Walked in the garden." "Had tea with mamma." "Read 'Alice in Wonderland.' "Took some snapshots and pondered over the events of the past." r "Walked on the piazza." We often wondered why they put It over on that boy so easily. After read ing nis diary, we know. Perfectly Simple). The Bolshevik idea is not at all com plicated. Tbe object is to take the money from tne rich ana give it to tne poor. Then, when the poor become rich, pre sumably, it is the duty of the Bolshe vik! to take the money from them and give it back to the formerly rich, now poor. This constant interchange of wealth cans for executive administration That is where the Bolshevik officials come in. Passing the money from the4 rich to tne poor and then back again is a life job intended to produce good brokers commissions. It is the grand and glorious game ot Lenine and Trotzky The only thing wrong witn it is mat tne cops nave raiaea it. n A HERO EVERY DAY Brave Deeds of men la America's Fighting Service In Germany, they strive to make heroes, by educating them from youth with drills, with militaristic propa ganda, with duels at Heidelberg and the added sop that a soldier can do no wrong in his relations with civil ians. In America, that method sis not needed. Heroism is in the heart. As witness. Pvt. Robert Edward Graf of the United States marine corps. Not so long ago. Graf was a paper sales man in Denver. Then came the call of war. Today, he lies in a hospital in France, bis body torn in eight places by shrapnel. Two months ago, Graf was cited for his bravery in helping to remove men from tbe battlefield during a heavy bombardment. When he was wounded, he was in the front Una trenches. The shrapnel shell struck only a foot away from him. But what's a little thing like shrapnel to a real marine? "I'm having the time of my life." he wrote a friend shortly after the doctors had dressed his wounds. Grafs home Is at 1818 East Twenty-third avenue. Denver, Colo. He is a son ot Mrs. Elizabeth Graf, ot the same address.

Just now we hear a great deal about the necessity of conserving coal, con serving sugar, conserving flour and various other articles which are re quired by the government for war uses. But equally as important as coal and sugar and flour is the conser vation of paper. The government s re quirements for all kinds ot paper are increasing rapidly, and must be sup plied. Tbe commodities which enter into the manufacture of paper are required for war purposes. By not wasting paper therefore we release large quantity of these materials for making munitions and gases which our men "over there must have. Paper requires coal, which, is so badly needed now. A pound of paper which you waste represents from one to three pounds of coal wasted. Paper requires transportation space. By not wasting paper in your home, in conjunction with countless other homes, you release thousands ot freight cars for war purposes. Why not stop tor a moment and think of these things. Instead of throwing away or burning up your empty oat meal box or your cornmeal box or your sugar, coffee or cornstarch boxes, why not save them with your old newspapers and worn out paper bags and dispose, ot them as waste paper. Above -all do not bum your waste paper. It is little less than treason to do this when paper is so scarce. And do not light a bonfire in which there is wood or old rags or paper. Paper and rags are two or the most ton- portant sentials in the manufacture ot paper. See that all this waste is given to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army or the junk man or anyone who will send it back to the paper mills to be remade into paper and paper prod ucts again. By doinar these things you becoin.e a war worker without leaving your own nome. EVENING, SEFTKMBKK .1918, i rTrm-rrTrl einrTV I Zi XiK O XV AW A J! "Lady Anne's Cross." 1 BT DOROTHY DOUGLAS. The soldiers called her Nurse Anne, her friends called her Lady Anne, and she called herself merely Anne Gay. Conventionally speaking, she was. Lady Anne Margaret Cllevedale; her young husband. Mai. Reginald Cllevedale, had been7 ne of the first ot his regi ment to fall st tbe front in France snd the young widow had gone strenuously into training for a Red Cross nurse. Nurses are, born. Nurse Anne, i a, poor, pale soldier, as he lay propped up on his bed in a base hos nita.1 somewhere near Paris. "We're all born we all die," Anne answered with a whimsically sweet smile aa she moved a pmow unaer tne patient's arm. "That's the one sure .'..t.Tn.nt we dare -to make, isn't it?" Tbe pale American laa noaaea. can make one more sure bet, Nurse Anne. I shall live Jong enougn to get back and have one more cracK at tnuse Huns!" -'i arimxid sav voir wauiu. lauehed. "But I wouldn't be tmnking about it yet a'while." Let me think tnara an i can ai on that or any otner Buojeci jus. I think and -think and think!" Nurse Anne turnea away irom m eot for a moment. All rlgnt, sne said sravlv. when she faced Aim again. and I'll go on my rounds, rernapa some time i ll Dring you a guuu American penny and buy soma of your thoughts with it." She had fled before ne couia say more. Next day. with rive otner nurses, she was moved to more urgent work nearer the battle front, and the pale American lad asked for her in vain. He thought of her lovely face each day that he lay on his cot, and afterward, when he was taken across the channel and down into sunny Bournemouth by the sea' to convalesce with many other soldiers he always watched for that face among the crowds that passed him by. And always he was' sure that he would offer her those thoughts, whether or not she had found the penny. l or Lady Anne there was little time to think of foolish penny bargains for thoughts. Her task was to cheer thei last hours of many brave lads from her own country and take what mes sages she might from their lips. -Aty cross tAKe it home to mother," young southern captain told her. "You'll be going back, now that we've nearly finished this game. Keep it till you go, Nurse Anne, and give it to mother to pin on her flag." In time Lady Anne did cross the Atlantic the great sea made so much smaller by the world war. She had not been on her own side since she had left there a bride two months be fore the beginning of the conflict. How she had lived since then! She thought At the years of experience that had been crowded into the short five so called years that she had been on foreign soil. She would go home gain to her own people, and, after a -rest, continue the profession in which she had had such wonderful experi ence, xnus sn planned in the moments, -when she found time to look into the, future. Among tne many messages she was carrying home personally to mothers and sweethearts of brave American lads was this one French cross of war flint aha nMmf-a j.t. the mother hands. The cross was wrapped in a khaki silk handkerchief on which was em broidered an H. "Capt. Harold Lee," she said to herself one dayi as if she were communicating with the lad who had gone, what is it that makes me keep your medal so close to the V. C. tnat my own aeajr -Keggie sent me from the front when be passed on? What is it? Is it weird the way I al ways treasure them together it's in explicable. But I've learned not to try to fathom tne depths ot mystery Dame Fate spreads out before us. Something compels me to take this cross at once to your dear mother." Lady Anne traveled well out of her way to seek the mother of Captain Lee." she did not announce her com ing. She found her way up the shaded southern street to the old red brick mansion back among the trees. bhe opened the gate and walked slowly up the gravel path to the white porcn aneaa ot ner. An old colored man opened tbe great door hospitably and, bowed low. "Please tell Mrs. Lee that Nurse Anne is here with a message for her," sne said, quite unconventionally to the old darky. "Yassum, yassum, bowed the old man, as he showed her into the cool shadowed room at her right. .Presently she heard quick steps on the stairs. They were not the steps of Mrs. Lee, she knew. "Nurse Nurae Anne Nurse Anne!" a voice was saying, whil a tall young man held both her hands. "Your face, but not your name," Anne stammered. His face tell for a moment. "You've torgotten me?" he asked. "No oh, no. Anne hastened to say. I have a cross of war for Mrs, Lee worn ner son. capt. Harold Lee." "My brother," said the young man, promptly. "I'm Bob." Anne laughed and drew away her uauus. un. yes,- sne said, recalling wiaitinrag sweet rrom ner memory. I went in search of a penny to buy your inougnts about killing Huns, didn't I?" she asked naivelv. "My thoughts yes but they were n't about killing Buns. But here comes mother. Oh, this is too, too gooa ot you, Nurse Anne. Come." He took her, to meet his mother in the doorway. "Mother, this is Nurse Anne iay. sne brings Harry's cross to you. and, oh, mother it will take forever for me to tell you what she meant to me when, I was In the hospital after my first skirmish." The three sat down and untangled a part ot the skein that fate had wound around them. They shed tearstogeth- course, being southern, they broke bread together. Anne promised Mrs. Lee that she would return ta visit them, and tell them all she could re member about the dear brave soldier1 who had not returned. And can you not promise me that I may come to you even before you can get back here to see mother?" asked Bob Lee as he said farewell to nurse Anne at the station. f "I'd love to have you. It will mean much to my mother and father to show them a real soldier who. believes I did help him over a rough place. They they did not want me to stay; they thought I coufd not-stand it after after" She stopped; she had been thru too much emotional strain already. v Bob patted her hand. "Don't try to say mere. Nurse Anne. Wait till I come: ard as soon as I dare, for I have o weh to say to you. -Will you listen?" 1 ."I'm terribly afraid I wtti, Anne (confessed, her voice trembling. -''And and I meant not to do anything like like this. I carried that cross home to your mother, and and that was to oe ail." "You knew it wasn t all. You knew something dragged you to me. Anne, you Knew It." t "All right. I knew it," she said as she passed thru the train shed. "And I'll have a nice new penny for you now.

Old fairy tales, old songs, old games you thought you had forgotten them, but they come bubbling up from the long lost spring ot your youth when you are telling and singing them and play. insthem with the little girl or boy who has come to your house to stay, and who cuddles down on your shoul der with shining eyes while you open the long closed doorx of your own childhood. Then again a child will make your very house sing with joy. What tnusic in all the world is like the patter of little feet running to welcome us home? What picture so beautiful as the little lace watching at tne window panes for our return? AVhat conver sation so amusing as the babble of a little -voice that stumbles- over the hard words? What wit so enchanting as the smart things our baby says? In all the world there is no such remedy for the most fatal complaint ot domesticity boredom, as a child in the house. One of the disadvantages that at tends growing old is that as time goes by Vfe lose interest in ourselves, and every year wo have fewer personal desires that we enjoy gratifying. By the time we are middle aged we are pretty well satisfied with ourselves. We have bad most that we want. We have achieved about all that we are likely to achieve, our appetites and our ambitions are blunted. After that we must take our. pleasures vicariously to a large extent. We must live in other lives. We must invest our hopes in others and gratify our ambitions thru them. If there were' no other reason for adopting a child than this, it would be enough. The. childless man and wo man who bind a little life to theirs have taken out an insurance policy against a dull and dreary old age, be cause they will live their own lives over again in the beautiful young daughter or the talented son who will bring fresh interests, new; aspirations and the joy ana triumph of a young world to them once more. Childless people do well to adopt a baby. As a pet, a prise baby beats all the blue ribbon Pomperanlan pups or Angora kittens in creation. And when your pet grows up. he will be a staff to lean upon in your old age. ttoprrtffbte-d. MIT. y Tb WfcMter strati' eat. IncJ HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS BT MBS. ELIZABETH THOMPSOX. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been married f,or some time. My husband owns one home the one in which we are now living with his father and mother. He intends this to be their home as long as they live. Now he wants to buy an automobile. Do you think I would enjoy a car or would it be wiser to Invest the money in home for Just us? BRUNETTE. You would certainly enjoy an auto mobile, Dut I cannot say that you would enjoy it more than a home where the two of you could live by yourselves; If you and your husband parents are congenial you might be happier to get an automobile. But if you are dissatisfied with your home conditions as they are new it would be better to invest your money in an otner nome. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young girl of 18. When my Jbrother went to France he left me his car and there is no one at home to drive it but me. It has been asked that the people wno own cars adopt tne custom of be ing so patriotic as to put this sign on the car: "A lift for a soldier or sailor as far as I go." i Do you think it would be all right tor me to aaopt tnis plan 7 BROWN ETES. No, I would.not advise you to adopt tne plan. There are many older peo ple who can give lifts to soldiers and sailors. It is not necessary for an 11 year-old girl to do so. DINNER STORIES The charming city girl went to the country to spend- her holiday with a favorite aunt. One afternoon tne lat ter went to call on some friends, leav ing her niece alone with the maids in the big farmhouse. "I hope you haven't been lonely, flear." she solicitously remarked, on her return in the evening. "What have you been doing all the after noon." V- "I haven't been lonely a bit. aunty, dear," answered the niece. "I spent the entire afternoon in the hammock with my beloved Robert, Browning. "What's that?" exclaimed the scan dalized aunt, in a cold, hard voice. "Really. Gladys. I can't permit such doings. If it occurs again I shall write to your mother. A well known business man tn Lawrence. Mass, once had a customer who contracted a debt that ran along unpaid for a year or more and even several letters failed to bring about settlement. One day, while glancing over the religious notices in a local paper, the business man saw something that gave him a new Idea. He went to his desk and wrote the following note to the debtor: "My dear Sir: I see In the local press that- you are to deliver aa ad dress on Friday evening before the Y. M. C A. on Tbe Sinner's Unbal anced Account.' I enclose yours, as yet unbalanced, and trust that I will have the pleasure of attending; your lecture. INTERNATIONAL' SUNDAY SCHOOL, LESSON BT WILLIAM T. BLUB. For September J 3 is,-"Fruits of the Christian 14fe."-Matt. ZaUi-SQ; 1-13. GctUnc Down to the Root ot Tbinss. Greatest themes are simplest. Pr i foundest philosophy la so elemental and clear that to the unlettered it seems like the plainest of good sense. The really big factors in this war are well within the understanding of tne most ordinary man or woman. Jesus hardly seems like the other philoso phers, with their big words ana Hair splitting subtleties, yet He is admit tedly the master ot them ail. His great gift for laying bare the elements and essentials ot life is needed now, as almost never before. We should sit close to Him, at His feet, to learn what is wrong with our world in these mad days, and how the wrong may be made right.. Every issue of almost every publication in existence teems with discussions ot the war, in some of its phases, but most of the articles leave us as uninformed as an official military communique. And there is an astonishing lack of clear dealing with the character of the measures that must be taken to lead ua out of this tangled jungle after the war has been won. What was wrong with Germany, that she, above all other nations, sinned the sin that precipitated this cataclysm? "Militarism." we make glib answer. But that is not a ca.'ue but An effect. "Prussianlsm" and kaiserlsm" come other replies. Same thing; they are but consequences, "Materialism" is the suggestion of an other; and that is nearer right, but tne word itself is book talk. In the peech of every day. what is material ism, and what is its origin? Ah; now we are getting there. Materialism is the love and cultivation ot things. rather than ot spirit. It is born of common, old-fashion. Garden-of-Kden selfishness. It was simply the spirit of "Number One" that set Germany off on this world-upsetting, heaven- defying rampage. Number One or Number Two Recently I heard a brilliant Scotch- American, 'chaplain in the British army, the Rev. Dr. John Robertson, deliver a sermon on the soldier spir.t in the Shepherd Psalm; and he strebs- ed this thought of letting the Lord go first, or as .Number One, and falling into step behind Him, as Number Two. It is when a man wants to be Number One himself, and tries to thrust uod and God's laws into second place, that things go wrong. Civilization is out of gear today because the divine order was reversed. The supremacy ot the Eternal 'and of His laws was chal lenged, and chaos ensued. Now the fruits of self will are ob vious pride, lust, greed, cruelty, ava- eppression and irreverence. Let liumsn nature go its own way and it w;.l go to the devil. We need soarcely marvel at German atrocities: there are no limits to unreined sel fishness. If we had the German view- point, and the German state of mind. we might do the same things. JKa centiy Mr. Kipling made an address at tne opening or a X- M. c a. nut tn England, in the course of which he said; Kipling on tbe Devil. "We have been a long time over our present job, and we may be a long time yet. It has been a little bigger than we expected, because this is the first time since the Creation that all the world has been obliged to unite to crush the devil. You remember that before the war one ot our easy theories was that the devil was almost extinct, that he was only the child of misfortune or accident, and that we should soon abolish him by passing ringing resolutions against mm. mat has .proved an expensive miscalcula tions We find now that the devil Is very much alive, and very much what he .always was immensely indus trious, a born organiser, and better at quoting Scripture for his own ends than most honest men. His Industry and organisation we can all deal with, but more difficult to handle is his habit of quoting Scripture as soon as he is in difficulties. When Germany begins to realize that her defeat is certain, we shall be urged, in the name of mercy, toleration, loving-kindness. for the sake of the future of mankind or by similar appeals to the inextin guishable vanity of man, who delights in thinking himself holy and righteous, when he is really only lazy and tired- I say we shall be urged on those high grounds to make some sort of com promise with, or to extend some recog nition to, the Power which has for its one object the .destruction Of man. body and soal. Roots of Bight and Wrong;. Does all this seem a Mt removed from the present Sunday school les son? Far from It. That we should have a clear view of the essential principle involved In a lesson is far more important than that we should have a verse-by-verse exposition of the text which might miss the theme in its bigness. And our lessen today, which all the wide world of Sunday schools is studying, deals with the fruits of the Christian life: and, by contrast, with the fruits ot the un Christian life. This latter, as Mr. Kipling points out, is born of the devil, and of the spirit which puts self in the place of Number One. At present, civilisation" is engaged is mighty struggle to get things re-estab lished In right relationships, so that God and His unchanging truth may have the right of way with mankind. "Righteousness" Is a big word that has found new popularity in the vo cabulary of the race. We have nailed it aloft as a flag for which we fight. Nations have solemnly covenanted with one another te pursue it after the enemy of all right has been brought to his kneea Conferences s re being held, and articles and books being written about the best means of securing the reign ef rignteousnesg after the war. Most ot this- discus sion, tao, seems to be missing the point that righteousness is not a fruit that can be tied on the tree of human life, as cotton peaches are tied on the wire branches ot the imitation trees in the roof gardens. In a word, we have thought a great deal about the fruitage of tbe world's new day, but not enough about the rootage. Just as surely as given causes produce given effects, and that seed bring forth fruit after their kind, so sure is it that the Messing of peace cannot be made certain antes the new spirit ot peace and righteousness and brotherhood, the spirit ot unrwt. be the root of the new order. Th is no hope for a transformed world except la transformed hearts, uniy better nature for-lndividual men and women can produce a. better life tor aH men. and women.. i Why tbe Feacbea FaUea.. When I returned from France thla soring, the fruit trees In my little garden were blqssomlng beauUfullys and nothing that I bad seen of all the wonderful arborculture of ranee seemed as beautiful as these few trees Of my own. which I had planted. The peach blossoms were paradisal in their pink perfection. Day by day I watched the flowers give way toy the green pellets of incipient fruit, knd these grow until they were almost ot full aim. Then, suddenly, the tree be- gan to languish, and its leaves to grow yellow. The unripe peaches began to fall to the ground, and those that re mained took on prematurely the color of ripeness ere they, too, fell, to the ground. It was very aiBiroauins w un home-returning householder. One day a neighbor saw tne tree, man. jour peach tree has borers. Have you looked to the bark, down at the root?" Too late. I dug down and fonnd tbe worms beneath the soil that had cut into the bark and ruined my peacn- tree. Of course should have Known bet ter; just as all of us who are marring the beauty and frultfulness and pur pose of our life should know that it la the secret, hidden worm of sin that is spoiling everything. We are as fool ish as the women who resort to cos metics instead of to exercise and prop er food to put color into their cheeks. Now that I turn my eyes daily to the questions ot world-reconstruction, I am reminded to look well to the roots. Kruitage depends upon rootage. What is in the heart comes out on the life. German philosophy of pride and self- lsnness cannot help producing uer man conduct; Christian principles and purposes alone can produce those Virtues which we simply. must have it this war is not to have been in vain. Tbe Test for Religion, With a clear-headedness that Is not often enough commented upon, Jesus had a way of going straight to the eause of things. He said "By their fruits shall ye know them." His fre quent figures of the tree tho, strange ly, tney are not assigned lor this les son) set forth His logic. He frankly declared that He did not test His dis ciples by their words, but by the kind of deeds they did. And His great apostle, following the Master's exam ple, declared that anybody might dis tinguish between those who bora Spirit-fruits, and those who bore flesh fruits. Not all the pious talk in the world can prove us spiritual, unless we are bearing the definitely tabulated fruits of the spirit. Paul catalogs the two kinds of fruits, beyond all mis taking. I quote front the Moffat trans lation: How the deeds of the flesh are quite obvious, such as sexual vice. Impurity, sensuality, idolatry, magic, quarrels, dissension, jealousy, temper. rivalry, factions, party-spirit, envy (which is murder), drinking bouts. revelry, and the like; I tell you before hand, as I have told you already, that people who indulge in such practices wiu never inherit tne realm ot nod. But the harvest of the spirit is love. joy.- peace, good temper, kindliness. generosity, fidelity, gentleness, self control there is no law against those who practice such things." I Jesus himself, in the platform of His Kingdom, laid down tne princl- -pies which are likewise fruits of His Spirit: the poor in spirit, they that mourn, the meek, they which do hun ger and thirst after righteousness, the merciful, the--pure in heart, tbe peace makers these are the ones whom He designates aa blessed. A Clarion Call to tbe Cbnrcbes, If there is any big truth within this lesson it is that the only kind of world which will come up to the new specifications for human society is one which manifests the traits stipulated by Jesus. In other words, people, to be worth living with, and to be safe neighbors, must manifest the fruits of the Spirit of Christ. We cannot any longer stand, even In modified degree, the fruits of the spirit of selfishness and German materialism. Persons who regard themselves as Number One, and God and the rest of the world as Number Two, are not only second rate beings; they are impossi ble members of the commonwealth ot democracy. Plainly. If we are to have the fruits ot tbe Spirit from people we shall have to have the root of the Spirit in peo ple. That makes clear the supreme task ot the church. She must be the means of divinely vitalizing the roots -of society. Only a converted world can be a safe world. The new mind among men that is to fulfill all our dreams must be the mind that is in Christ Jesus. Only aupemational pow er can effect 'the tremendous changes' which simply must come to pass in the world's fairer tomorrow. Never since the Lord bequeathed to her-he. carrying on of His work has the church faced such a test and op portunity and task as now confront her. She has great obligations in the way of administrative Internal reor ganization, but all of these are but Incidental to the primary business of an unprecedented spiritual "drive." to Introduce all mankind, at home and abroad, to the Saviour whose Spirit makes an OI lite new. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Canning; and Preserving. Jam One pound fruit, one-hair pound sugar.' One-quarter pound synup. iimei una w -two oours or until -fruit drops heavily from spoon. Wash fruit, pare and core if neces sary. Mash berries, currants and gooseberries, slice Other fruits. Place fruit in layers with sugar and stand long enough to extract some of the fruit juice- It dry, a cup of water may be added. Heat slowly and cook till thick. Jam may be tested on a cold plate In the same way that jellies are tested. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Turn Into .sterilized glasses and seal like jelly. Breakfast Raisin Marmalade Let the raisin supply the only sugar that will be'used in making these marma lades, for their virtue is In the tart ness of the fruits and they are to be recommended as very wholesome be cause they contain only what nature puts into the Irulta Apple Raisin Marmalade To one cup of ground seeded raisins add one cup chopped apple and one cup water; Cook until thickened.. Little orange or lemon juice and grated rind if liked may be added. Cooked dried fruit, a apricots, pears, peaches or prunes may be used In combination with the ground raisins In any pro portions desired and three fruits com bined as apricots, apples and raisins. Mix a little horseradish into apple rai sin marmalade to serve with cold meats or lay it on an omelet in the trypan just as tbe omelet is to be turned and rolled onto the platter. Catsup added to the marmalade makes a simple fruit relish to serve witlvcold meats. Curry powder may a'.so be used, but mix it into the marmalade and let It stand aa bour or more be fore using. r l' i

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY. EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918 5 READY. TO START Washburn S. A. T. C. Will Be gin on September 34. All Men Should Bring Their Own Blankets. GYMNASIUM FOR BA&RACKS Students Will Provide Own Meals for a Time. Girls Will Sot Enter School Until October 1. A summons has been sent out to all students exoecting to enroll for the Washburn S. A. V. C. directing them to report fit the cuUegr on Tuesday, September S4. 1918. t v ...MMnna links not include the girls who are expecting to emer wasn burn this year. They are not expect ed to report to the college until lust prior to October 1. upon which date college work will begin for both men and women. The calling in of men enrolling for the S. A. T. C. is necessary for the completion of certain preliminary work in the way of being officially en rolled. Physical examinations must be attended to. Men must be meas ured for uniforms, and the detail of becoming a unit in the military force of the United States is to be accom plished before the college work Ptop er begins. Considerable confusion and excitement will be. eliminated In starting the two features at different times so that one will not interfere with the other. With the military or ganization already established In working order, and the men accus tomed to the routine the picking up of the general class work will be at tained much easier than If both were attempted at once. Out-of-town students enrolling for the S. A.' T. C. are directed to equip themselves with several blankets be fore leaving home. Cots will be' fur- nisnea. prooaDly in tne gymnasium, until the barracks are finished on Sep tember 30, which is the date called for in the contract. These cots, which will I be bought here in Topeka ajong with the bedding the students Ikre asked to bring from home will equip them tem porarily with sleeping quarters. Lat--r. when the government supplies h&vo all arrived the blankets brought from home can be returned. It will also be permissible for students who hi.ve friends in the city to arrange to stcy with them as a temporary meas ure. In the same way students from Topeka may stay at their homes at rJirht. After everything is in running order and the barracks completely equipped by the government, all S. A. T. C. stu dents, whether out-of-town or local, will be required to stay at their bar racks Just the same as if they were in any of the cantonments. The student soldiers will also need to com prepared -to buy their own food until the feeding arrangements are permanently organized. These exceptions in the way of sleeping quarters and in feeding are expected to last only until the organ ization is firmly established and the government has supplied all details. It is not expected that these conditions will exist for. more than a week, or possibly two weeks at the most. The suggestions contained in this order issued by President Wpmer are In concurrence with advices received from the government- There is a pos sibility that they may be changed in some alight way, but it will be best for all students to bear in mind the suggestions arid come fully equipped to withstand the preliminary condi tions without any discomfort. Up to date, over 275 students have enrolled for the S. A. T. C. It is ex pected that later enrollment will bring this figure up to over 300. The barracks building is progressing. The frame is now entirely put up. Ac cording to the contractor, it will be finished absolutely on time. It will be modern in every respect, having its own heat plant, v'umbing, a bath house, and electric lights. Girls, do not report until October 1. Nurse) Cited by lYtucb. Paris. Sept. 20.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918 PROFIT ON ROADS Railroads Produced Good "et Income in July. lVas Greater Than 'Set Income Year Ago. Washington, Sept. 20. Railroads In July showed the best earnings record up to date under government operation and for the first time this year got more net Income than in the corre sponding month of last year. OperatT Real Wonder-Worker For Wrinkled Faces ins Income amounted to J135.6S9.000 or 140,000,000 more than In July, 1917. j This record was caused largely oy the" 25 per cent increase in freight rates. It was apparent that the rate advance was more than sufficient to cbver the higher wages and other In creased operating costs. These re ports, however, did not include the big sums spent for extensions, better ment, new equipment and other capital purposes under the railroad adminis tration's billion dollar improvement program for the year. July were reported as J468.379.000 as compared with 1348.393, 000 in July last year.. This included freight re ceipts of J327.151.000, which was J86.000.000 greater than the record of July. 1917, and passenger receipts .of J104. 403,000, which was J30.000.000 more than, the corresponding figure last year. Expenses amounted to J316.813.004.. as compared with 1237,- 809,000 in July last year. Those who have tried all sorts of so called wrinkle-removers-' in a vain effort to lose those unwelcome traces of age. Illness or worry, run scarcely find words to express their delight with the wonder ful saxolite formula, once thejr have given It a trial. The succeBa of this method is due not alone to its marvelous effective ness npon the tleeiwst .lines and crows feet. s well as upon the very f ne ones but also to Its surprisingly quick action and its entire barmlessness. Its simplic ity snd its inexpensiveness are other com mendable features, for one need only dis solve an ounce of powdered saxolite In, a half pint witch nozcl, snd bathe the face Jn this Bolntlon. At once a remarkable transformation is beheld. It is not only the effect on wrinkles and creases that is so noticeable, but facial contour Is remarkably improved and the face looks much younger. One should be sure to ask the druggist for the powdered saxolite. The lotion, being so refreshing. Is particularly grateful to tired faces.

These sixteen names once were the names which formed the roster of the Holton, Kan., town band. There was Martin A. Bender, the attorney who had organized it; Raymond Aller. Moore, whose skill had turned many a time to the repair of the wheat header or the Kansas motor car; "JacK jui lock, the barber; George Eugene Crawford, who taught school when he was not running the scales; Haucher It.

Friend, who were yet too young to an nounce their occupations aa other than "students." Such was the Holton. Kan., city band the night of July 9. 1917, But twenty-fourghours later, they had seen a great metamorphosis. Down at the little station Holton said goodby to Its band then waited for news. At last It came. The little amateur gathering has become part of a great professional organisation now. The marine corps had needed musicians also, and now those sixteen men were members of the organization that was to spur the members of the Sixth regiment of United States marines along on its weary marches. In Mission of Mercy. June, 1918. Nearly a year had gone by. The parade thru Paris was over. The band instruments, had been laid aside. Out there in front, where the green-blue woods of the forest or Belr leau stretched away from the sur- rqunding fields, the machine guns were crackling, the Dooming gas-shells were .bursting, the artillery roaring and coughing forth Its death. Into the barrages and out "again went the sixteen men. The high ex plosive shells were breaking near them, the heavy, reeking .clouds of deadly gas enveloped them, but still they carried on, still they performed their mission that of mercy, Get Their Reward. Days went to a week, and a week nearly to a fortnight. Then the gal lant fourteen, relieved at last, went back to their rest billets and, to their reward the knowledge that many of their comrades who had fallen would again be well. But there was another reward also, a reward that is attached to the record hook- of every member of the Horton baaid, now sergeants and corporals and privates of the United States marine corps. It is a personal recommenda tion from J. T. Boone, regimental sur geon, recommending them for recog nition suitable to their distinguished service. Some day, when the war is over. group of men may again gather in the hall above the hardware store. Lack of practice may again cause that drum to race ahead or lag behind, that trombone to squawk in he wrong place, that cornet to "break" with the high notes. But there will be no su- pci-ci nous comment. One does not sneer at heroes. i Washington, Sept. 20. Cartoonists have caricatured it, hack humorists have made It the butt of joke and jibe but no more.

Because they were said to have caused the sheriff to search his prem 4aea for liquor last June and because he believes they are endeavoring to ruin his standing and bring shame and humiliation upon him, Oscar O. Hen- rlckson, 300 Western avenue, has filed a petition in the office of the Shawnee county district court asking a Judg ment of $7,000 against Mr. and lira. Robert K. Reynolds, &0 Western avei nue. Henriokaon defines his request of the court as $5,600 compensatory damages and $3,000 exemplary dam anes. Henrickson alleges in his petition! that On June 29, 1918, the' Reynoldses falsely informed the sheriff that there was intoxicating liquor on' the Hen rickson premises and that If he would make a search he would find it. So the sheriff came out with his deputies, according to Henrickson, and searched the place in the day time, while his Immediate neighbors looked on. He Was Humiliated. Henrickson declaras that the Inci dent caused him great shame, humilia tion and mental anguish and that he was thereby subjected to the contempt and gossip off his friends and neigh bors, and that it caused him to be sus pected of being a bootlegger and that he was violating the prohibitory laws of Kansas and the ordinances of To peka. These laws and ordinances, he declares, he has never violated, at any time. Hendricksos declares that prior to this incident lie had a good reputa tion among his friends, neighbors and acquaintances for honesty, mdral worth and tntearity. A short time after the raid, he says, Mrs. Minnie Reynolds, against whom, together with Her husband,; the action is brought, told a Mrs. Myrtle Smith that she frequently saw men passing between her own house ana tne Hen rickson home;- that the men were going to the basement of the Henrick son place, and that the Only reason she could see for their visits was to Secure liquor. tie t liarges aiaucc. Meaning thereby," reads the peti tion, "that this plaintiff was selling and permitting to be sold, intoxicat ing liquor, contrary to tne laws oi Kansas and' the ordinance of Topeka." Henrickson charges that the acts of Che defendants were, done purposely, willfully and maliciously, for the pur pose of ruining his standing, charac ter, name and reputation among his friends and to subject him to ehame. humiliation and disgrace.

Akers was told that if Kansas and mid-west manufae turers did not get together and go aft er war business that they would soon be denied essentials and that scores of industries in this state would be forced to close their doors. Instead of discouraging the scram bla for war time contracts and prior ity and preferential places on the preferential lists, the government has encouraged the policy. If Kansas and Topeka manufacturers will get to 1 gether and go after big contracts, they can get them. Akers was. told.

The order,' which attacks Lord Northcliffe as a "rough-going rascal." follows: "The enemy begins to realize that we cannot be crushed by his blockade, his superiority in numbers and his force of arms. He, therefore, is trying by trickery and underhanded methods of which he is past master to induce In the minds of the German people doubts of their invincibility.

I INVESTIGATE BI TTER. PROFITS. Kansas Food Administration An nounces Ban on Profiteering. Wichita, Kan., Sept. 20. The food administration today announced lim its on butter profits and -will start a statewide inspection Monday to pre vent profiteering in this commodity. The price has risen rapidly in the last thirty days due largely to the buying of SO per cent of all storage butter in the country for the govern ment, according to an explanaton of the food administration. Manufactur ers are now bidding against each oth er for butterfat so they can refill their houses and take care of the de mand next winter when the produc tion wiil fall off. The farmer is getting the benefit of the increased prices paid by the man ufacturer and no effort will be made to curb the farmer's profits as the in creased prices will stimulate produc tion during this season of abundant pasturage. Farmers are getting 60 cents a pound for butterfat delivered in. Wichita. It takes 100 pounds of but terfat to equal 120 pounds of butter. As there is danger of profiteering on a rising market a statewide Inspection of jobbers, commission nouses, whole salers and retailers will start Monday. Manufacturers are already under in spection. Wholesalers will be allowed a mar gin of l cent a pound for handling butter in carlots and as much as 2 cents a pound for handling ft in lots of less than 700 pounds. Retailers will be allowed from 5 to 8 cents a pound margin for handling butter. The top wholesale price in Wichita today is 56 cents a pound for butter in quarter-pound wrappings. On September 1 there were 64,287. 000 pounds of butter in storage in the leading warehouses of the country as against 71.262.000 pounds In thesame warehouses a year ago and 83,582.000 pounds in those warehouses in 116.'

Lieutenant I.uke turned on tms supply, suiiiciem onlv for ten minutes, and tho on the German side of the lines he went after his two opponents in Fokker ma chines. The first was an easy victim, falling in the French lines. The second fell on the German side and Lieutenant l.uke was unable to follow because of hit, shortage of gasoline and so land ed near the first German. He had only a few gills of gasoline when he entered the fight, the last few minutes of which he had devoted simulta neously to fighting, guiding his ma chine and operating his hand gasoline pump. Rickenbacher Gets Two. -Lieut. Edward V. Rickenbacher of Columbus. O.. has downed two more airplanes during the past week, one being officially confirmed. Lieuten ant Rickenbacher is now officially f-redited with six victories. The group to which he and Lieutenant Luke be long has twenty-eight enemy airplanes and balloons to its credit since the offensive began. Confirmation of these victories has been certain in nearly all cases. Lieutenant Luke originated the idea of Light raids on enemy balloons and Ha- nas been very successful in carry ing them out. He ascertained the hour when the enemy balloons were to be filled and most of his attacks have been carried out as the balloons were about to ascend. On the first day of the American offensive, Lieut. Jas. Knowles, Jr., of Boston, flying over the retreating German artillery, saw that the roads were badly Jammed. He added to the confusion by flvinsr at a heie-ht of about thirty yards and shooting at anu rrigntenmg the horses. He re ported the condition of the roads and an American night bombing squadron was Bent out. unese airmen wreaked havoc on the enemy artillery and greatly increased the congestion on the road.

WANTS THE FACTS Congress Tired of Approprlat-, ing Money Not Needed. j Will Insist on Knowing What Government Can Spend. Washington, Sept. 20. Congres sional finance leaders today were greatly relieved by Secretary McAdoo's announcement that he will not ask ad ditional taxes In view of the 37.000. 000,000 increase Just asked for he army. They declared-. however," that this decision means one of two things, with respect i to the government's finance policy: i'(l) Possibly -abandonment of he policy of raising one-third pt the cost of the war by taxation and two-thirds by bonds. "(2 Commutation of estimates sub mitted to congress in future upon the basis of money actually able to be expended, rather than upon total needs." The tangle into which the sudden presentation of the new army esti mates threw congress has revived among finance and. ways and means committee members, the demand that departments-, presenting estimates after regular appropriation bills heve passed, show how much of the regu lar appropriations has been spent and how much can actually be spent with in the year and then be content with appropriations covering the add''onal amount that actually can be spent. Can't Spend the Money. The war department asked for r. ore than three billion dollars for ordnance in the new bill. Finance committee members said today it would ie physically impos sible to spend that money this uscal year; because previous huge ordnance appropriations have been used in let ting contracts which will keep all available factories running to capacity for a long time. TTriless some development not now foreseen changes the situation, the most likely csurse will be the paring ef the new army estimates to the ac tual spendable amount, which will be made immediately available while the remainder will be included in author ity to make contracts. This will give the. war department power actually to spend all it has asked for, but will de fer somewhat the need for actually providing the money. Senator Kenyon, Iowa, declared the present situation is a strong argument for the budget system, which Presi dent Wilson has advocated and which Kenyon is trying to have congress pro vide. ".Under such a system,' Kenyon said, "departments would know how much they could spend in a given cime and congress would not be called on to appropriate money long in ad vance of the time it can be used." McAdoo confers today with the hcuse and senate conferees on the bill exempting- liberty bond interest from taxes. Assurance that the bonds will be exempted will be a factor in ideter t ining the size of the new loan. With only two minor matters to be-! adjusted in the new revenue bill, its nnsranffA hv th. hnns. MAm.il r-prto in The bill will pass unaltered from the ways and means committee draft in 1 11 its important provisions. s If it is necessary on account of the army estimates to increase the loan issue tho enactment of the exemption bill at once becomes more important- SEVENSONS IiTaKMY physicians- hold slight hopes for his recovery.

FIX ALL PRICES Tfcat Is Plan Advocated by Democratic Congressmen. It Will Be Used as Cotton Price Antidote. 4 AYRES TO INTRODUCE BILL He Wants All Farmers To Be Treated Alike. Erery Kansan In Washington Expected To Support Measure. BT A. lis SHULTZ. Kansas Democrat congressmen have a.i antidote for the Republican cam paign disturbance against the failure of the national administration to put a price on cotton. Congressman W. A. Ayres of the Eighth district has a bill which provides for fixing the price on all war time essentials cotton includ ed. The. bill is now on the house cal end and each Kansas Democrat five congressmen and Senator William H. Thompson declare they are wait ing for a chance to vote for it. If a price is put on cotton some time between now and the November elec tion, much of the wind will be taken out of the sails of the Republican con gressional candidates in this state. Kansas is a wheat producing state. She is also nominally a strong, staunch, tried and true Republican state. Of course she has slipped and skidded and wabbled a good deal dar ing the years following the 1912 un pleasantness. But no one will deny Kansas a place in Republican ranks- Farmers Make a Howl. So there was an awful howl from the wheat growing districts of Repub lican Kansas when a Democrat ad ministration In Washington put a price on wheat and listened to the pro- Bed, Mattress and Springs, 1.50 Tomorrow, Saturday only, we will sell this two-inch post Vernis Martin' Bed, with all Iron spring and a good top flj Cfll mattress, special. 5? v3 J 3U Cole's Famous Hi Oven Range W1H do your family baking and heat your home at the jT hr.;T,W same time.

Now the Eighth district Democrat congressman has a remedy. His bill i i the national house provides a price fixing remedy for all essentials. While there is doubt among the leaders of both parties concerning the success of a program which will put a- price oh by-products, the Ayers bill Is ex pected to cover most of the complaints against the present methods. Under Ayres' measure prices will be established by the government affect ing' not only wheat and cotton, but corn and potatoes and wool and doz en and one other necessities. Prices are already fixed on copper and steel and materials used in the active fight ing service, or in shipbuilding. Get Solid Kansas Vote. If the bill goes thru the house -and there seems reasonable hope that it will pass at this session it will doubt less receive the vote of the entire Kansas delegation, both Democrats and Republicans. In the senate, the measure will be supported both by Senator Thompson, Democrat and Sen ator Curtis, Republican. But the real feature of the Ayres bill so far as the Kansas political sit uation is concerned, lies in the manner in which it may counteract a most ef fective campaign slogan. Just at this time there are a good many hundred Kansas wheat growers who are not In the least overjoyed because of the price fixing system. They have seen the price of cotton from the southern plantations shoot skyward. Then they have been told months in advance Just what the next Kansas wheat crop would bring on the open market. Of course an established price works both ways. It is a protection on a wobbly market and a handicap when the world is clamoring for the commodity without regard to expenses. The Kan sas wheat farmer has seen only the latter situation. And now there Is a possibility that all of the well laid plans In several congressional districts may be severely jolted and candidates" and political headquarters must start all over again. TO PREPARE FOR ARMY Kansas Draft Men Will Meet With Committees of Business Men. -'Adjutant General Charles Huffman. :by request ot E. E Crowder; provost marshal general, will call meetings of men of the selective draft, to meet with committer of business men in various c!tits of Kansas, the object being to furnish to the men some ex planations and instructions prepara tory to their entrance to the military camps. Dr. W. H. Kinnicult, of Cleveland. Ohio, who has been associated with the, national committee in instruction for selective draft men, will be in Kan sas next week. He will be in attend ance at a meeting at Camp Funston at 10 o'clock Monday morning at the T. M. C. A. headquarters. A meeting at which he will be present will be held in the Topeka Central Y. M. C. A. building at 2 o'clock Tuesday after noon, and at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the T. M. C. A. in Wichita. A systematic plan of instruction for selectives prior to their call in tha draft, includes measures to prepare the selectives to go to camp as willing, loyal, intelligent, clean and sober sol diers, and thus fit them for, a rapid progress in their military education after joining the army. The local board of instruction is under the supervision of the local draft boards and serves to relieve the draft board men of all personal burden involved in the instrudtion prescribed. The draft boards notify their men of the meet ings, and such notification has the same authority as any order issued by the board.- Each board of Instruction performs its work' by Individual interviews and group meetings with the selectives.
