HOME EDITION BRITISH-YANKS SMASH AHEAD IN NEW OFFENSIVE Major Operations Renewed on Center of the Line. From St. Quentin to Cambrai, the Huns Are Attacked. ON 25-MILE FRONT THEY FIGHT French Make Progress 'orth and East of Rheims. At Southern End, French and Yanks Are Gaining. (By the Associated Press.) Renewing major war operations on the center of the line from the Meuse to the North sea, British and American troops today are smashing Into the rear defenses of the Hindenburg line between .St. Quentin and Cambrai. Field Marshal Haig is attacking on the twenty mile front north of St. Quentin. The French along the Suippe continue their progress northward to ward the German communication line despite strong enemy resistance. The French have reached the juncture of the .suippe and Aisne rivers and have lorced their way into two large towns on the middle Suippe. The Anglo American thrust against the vital sec tor between Cambrai and St. Quentin follows successful local operations Monday in the regions of Beaurevoir and Montbrehain in which 230 Ger man prisoners were taken. On the front of attack the British and Ameri cans are pushing eastward from the hills west of the canal between the two towns toward the railway junction of Kohain and the railway lines running north and south which are so import ant to the German supply system In this region. Successful continuation of the French advance north and northeast of Rheims is menacing the security of the Laon massif. After capturing Berry-Au-Bac. the Freneh are fight ing their way into Conde-Sur-Suippe at the junction of the Aisne and Suippe. ProRress northward from these towns would outflank both the Cham pagne and Laon positions now occu pied by the Germans and make un tenable the lines of both the Aisne and the Retourne. In the center by en tering Isles-Sur-Suippe and capturing Bazancourt, the French apparently have broken the German hold on the Suippe and made necessary a retire ment to the Retourne or Aisne, fur ther north. 1'ollans Hit linns. On the north, the Belgian and Brit ish pressure is maintained and under threat ol further major attacks the Germans continue to withdraw from the Belgian coastal region. It is re ported the enemy is removing all tele phone lines and burning his stores at Knokke, five miles from the Holland fronter. east of Zeebrugge. Many fac tories have been undermined, so- they miffht be quickly destroyed. From the Suippe to the Meuse, on the southern end of the line, the French and Americans continue to press the enemy hard. Large fires are reported behind the German lines on the American sector east of the Ar gonne and the important town of Brieuilles, on the western bank of the Meuse, is burning. Ksoape to Holland. Amsterdam, Oct. 8. Part of the oc cupying troops would have to choose between capture and flight when the evacuation occurs, and the corres pondent points out that instructions t have been given them to escape to Holland in civilian clothes with the object of evading imprisonment and subsequently returning to Germany.

Paris, Oct. 8.- Announcement of the landing of French naval forces at Beirut is enthusiastically received by the public which is gratified that the French fleet has a share in the mag nificent achievements of General Al- lenby. The Matin says: "With the fall of Beirut the princi pal Austro-Turkish base in Syrja, col lapses. The Franco-British troops have only to march a few days to reach the Bagdad railroad and break thru Germany's dreams of eastern yratness. 'The landing seems to be an oper ation distinct from the land move ment which brought about the fall of Damascus. The official report indi cates this bold stroke of the French naval forces will have a great effect on Constantinople, where it will throw confusion into the ruling element which is seeking to belittle the ad vance of General Allenby's men. "In addition it wl have a great moral and political significance. Syria has for many years been a sphere of French influence. The ter ritory thru which the Franco-British troops are. advancing was conceded to us by treaties concluded between the entente nations, made public a few weeks ago. The landing of our troops at the principal port in that region is the first realization of the agreement." Yanks Continue Advance. With the American Army Xorthwest of Verdur JOct 8.

Ac cording to Doctor Clark more have been turned in today but as he had been too busy -to check up the reports on his desk, he could not give the ex act number reported today. If influenza is spreading in Topeka, it is doing so far more slowlv than it has done In other cities and the epi demic here has been attended with a much lower death rate than has been experienced in other places.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8. 1918 WATCHJHE SUB Desperate Drive on Shipping Expected as Peace Fails. Allied JsaTal Officials Confer on Plans of Action. SAY U-BOATS CANNOT WIN Any Campaign Sow Would Lose, as Have Others. .Sir Eric Geddes, English Sul) Specialist, in U. S. Washington, Oct. 6. Realizing that Germany la likely to start a desperate U-beat drive against transports and troop ships if her peace offensive fails, American naval officials and British First Lord of theAdmiralty Geddes be gan conferring here today over com bative measures. Indications point to the loosening of practically every U-boat m the Teuton service against the allied supply lines. However, 'authorities believe- that this effort like its. predecessors, Is doomed to failure on the whole, be cause of reduced U-boat efficiency. Factors making; the forthcoming campaign less dangerous than previous operations were pointed out today as: (1) Personnel of U-boats is dis rupted, so much that submarines are now rated as only one-fifteenth as ef fective as at the start of the war. (2) Submarines have been driven from the coast and must operate far out at sea where their prey Is more scattered. (S) They have been forced to leave the channel bases and operate around the North sea reducing their effective mileage one-third. (4) Defensive armament and the convoy system have made successful attack more difficult." More German submarmes are now in operation than at any time during the war and construction is believed to be advancing steadily. Because of the heavy protection given to troop ships and supplies from America, the work of hunting down the submarine has been interfered with to some extent and the actual destruction of U-boats has probably decreased, altho the effectiveness of the submarine has been reduced at the same time. Extermination of the Flanders sub marine flotilla is one of the biggest forward steps in the anti-submarine campaign, members of the British navariission declared today. Block ing of the Ostend and Zeebrugge re pair bases by sinking of British war vessels, destroyed these havens com pletely for some time. British airmen dropping an average of seven tons of explosives, daily over these forced their abandonment. U-boats are now operating out of "Wilhelmshaven, near Heligoland, but tney are iorcea to go out thru the North sea, cutting over 30 per cent rrom their effective cruising radius, HUN CAUSED EXPLOSION Letter Predicting Catastrophe Found by Government Agents. Washington, Oct. 8. Evidence i tending to show that the explosion in the T. A. Gillespie shell loading plant at Morgan, N.

Agents of the department are In-. vestigating, but they are inclined to Question the genuineness of the letter, which was picked up at the railroad station of a New Jersey town. CAMPCOMftlANDER DIES Colonel Hagadorn Hound Dead In Quarters at Camp Grant. Camp Grant. 111., Oct. 8. Col. C. B. Hagadorn, acting commander of Camp Grant, was found dead in his quarters at the camp this morning. Rumor that he committed suicide is not yet confirmed. At camp headquarters It was an nounced that Colonel Hagadorn was found dead in his quarters at about breakfast time. "His death was due, no doubt, to nervous collapse bought on by work and worry over the epi demic in camp," said Col. Charles W. Castle. Colonel Castle declined to make a further statement until an of ficial inquiry was made. -Colonel Castle become the acting commander of the camp. I "OH, BOYL" Something was vitally wropg with the "Oh, Boy" show in Topeka Satur day afternoon and night. Of course. Topeka audiences are proverbially -cold and exceptionally sparing In either moral encouragement or physi cal applause, but even tradition Is no excuse for a theatrical production go ing nearly one full act without even a' semblance of approval or .of dis approval either from the gallery at least. Miss Warfteld and Miss Wayne from their connection with the plot supposed to be the lead and the fe rrfale juvemie were both good and graceful dancers, but their voices would never refresh a jaded palate. nor satisfy a longing for music of sorts. Franklyn Graham and Harry Myers playing center stage in the male roles were good but not sensational. James E. Rome, playing the part of a valet, is perhaps deserving of mention for the new light he shed on the valet cnaracter. as to tne music, it was good but hot new. Topeka probably will not go wild trying to whistle it and porch sleepers will be able to rest In peace. Oh, boy! who in this case is a girl. W. D. W. Is Your Name on the Honor Roll?

There was inter mittent artillery fire during the night on account of movements behind the enemy lines. Fresh Form of Guile. Washington,- Oct. 8. General Diaz, commander-in-chief of the Italian army, has issued a general order re minding his soldiers that the enemy still is on Italian, French and Belgian soil, and calling on them not to be weakened by flattering hopes of peace, but to hold themselves in readl--ness to completely crush the enemy if his peace offers ppve to be.

Simultaneously the third British army attacked on the front from Cam- brai south along the continuation of the Masnieres-Beaurevoir line.' There was a frontal attack on this line and at the same .time an effort to turn It at its northern extremity. The attacks of the two armies were converging operations, the general di rection of the thrusts being northeast ward. The assault was accompanied by one" of the most terrific bombard ments of the war, the massed British- cannon firing wheel to wheel.

Quarantine Jail Here. The Shawnee county Jail at Fifth and Van Buren streets will be placed under quarantine as the result of the development of seven or eight cases among the prisoners confined there-, it was announced today by Sheriff Hugh Larimer. It is probable that the quarantine will become effective some time today. Sheriff Larimer said, preventing the 'release of any prison ers and barring visitors from the jail. 'All the victims were considerably improved this moaning and .we have the disease well under control said Sheriff Larimer, "so it is not probable that the quarantine will be of long duration. We do not feel that-there is any cause for alarm." New prisoners will be confined en tirely separate from those now in the jail while the epidemic lasts, it was announced. Teachers on Strike. Duquoln, 111., Oct. 8. Public schools were closed here today, thirty teachers having gone on a strike, alleging the schpol board had discriminated in fix ing the wage scale.

Commenting on tne aaaress Dy rrinee Maximilian, the new German imperial chancellor, the Tageblatt, of Berlin says: "All Germany, or at any rate that great, nonest and good Germany which is imperishable, feels that Prince Maximilian, in accordance with his duty as a man and as a servant of his people, has done what-is right and necessary. Why have not we learned earlier to know ourselves?" A sample of Pan-Germanic "com ment may be found in the editorial printed on Sunday hv the T.nkal An- zleger, defiantly announcing that the German people will to the last drop of blood fight those whoBe aim is to uu;i.ie a numiuating peace. "Unbroken stands our front -on enemy land," the newspaper continues. We shall be able to defend our selves more easily against an entente attack thru Bulgaria than against .rcussia wnose millions vainly threat ened us for three years. Many a flourishing countryside must be laid waste and hundreds of thousands of lives must be sacrificed by the enemy ms mtismium 01 our concessions rl n .,i I The newsnaDer somewhat v,4mr. torily advises President Wilson to realize the "Superhuman responsibil ity placed upon his shoulders" and in magisterial tones hopes "he will prove himself worthy of this terrible, teaponsioie nour.

Itome Demands Victory. Rome, Oct. 8. "We must have abso lute victory. Any kind of negotiation is now more than ever inadmissible," the words of President Wilson imme diately after the rejection of the Aus trian peace proposal, are reprinted by tne .Epoca in large type as summaris ing the attitude of Italians toward the new peace movement. The Epoca continues that President Wilson an swered in September the present new trap concocted by the enemy. The whole press says that the request for an armistice is an acknowledgment of defeat by the central empires, but that the allies must prevent the enemy from thereby escaping the conse quences of his acts. The Journal Italia says: "Austria, seemslo cheat Italian na tional aspirations by simply returning to the status quo, whieh means a per manent irreconcilable conflict be tween Italy and Austria as long as the latter keeps under her rule territories inhabited by Italians." Gompers Renounces It. Rome, Oet. 8. Samuel Gompers. president of the American federation of labor, who is here with a delegation of American labor leaders, strongly denounced the recent peace move, of the- central powers, saying that the new German maneuver seeks to weak en the unity of the democratic nations and lessen their fighting spirit.

Holfcrook, Secretary of the Natural Gas Association of America, concerning; the natural gas supply for the coming winter must be taken as a. prediction for the uountry as a whole and not for any particular section unless speci fically stated. There are some sections ef the country which will fare better and some fare worse than that given In the general prediction of Mr. Holbrook. "A careful analysis of the natural gas situation thrdout the Eastern territory shows there will be at least lO't less natural gas available for distribution in the cities than was the case last year," Mr. Holbrook says. "Very few companies will have as large an open flow at the be ginning of this winter as they did last winter, as tha volume of .pas which has been obtained by this year's drilling Is not equal to the depletion caused by the abnormal demands of last winter."

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 64 IN CLASS 1 County Board Busy Giving Status to Sew Draft Men. Many Will Make Agricultural Exemption Claim. The names of sixty-four Shawnee county men who registered September 12 and who have been classified in class 1A were revealed by the county draft board this morning. It was stated that a few of these men have made application for deferred classi fication on agricultural grounds and that their final status will be deter mined by the district board, as the lo cal boards cannot defer men for agri cultural reasons. "Some people have the idea," said Boyd Pollom, chairman of the county board, this morning, "that there is an unfairness about this agricultural busi ness. I have heard it said that a rich farmer is usually deferred, while the poor farmer has to go into service. Here's the explanation. The farmer who produces a surplus is just as vital to the nation's needs on the farm as he is in the trenches. The man who raises only enough for his own use is, therefore, usually put in class 1 provid ed his family can get along without him. It's the man who raises large quantities of farm products to sell whose occupation is considered essen tial. That's how some people reach the conclusion that the rich farmer gets a 'pull", with the draft board." The men who have been classified ELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.'

"When I first commenced taking Taniac I was simply down and out hadn't been able to hit a lick of work in three weeks but now I can work eight hours every day and, although I am 61 years old, I can hold out with the best of them."

"For the past year," continued Mr. Owens, "I have suffered torture with my stomach. My appetite left me completely and for several weeks I couldn't retain anything on my stom ach, not even water. There was a dull, heavy pain in the pit of my stomach air day long and sometimes it would simply cramp me double. I could Just feel my stomach throb. It hurt me so bad, and I would get so weak and faint from pain that I could hardly stand it. My stomach seemed sour as vinegar all the time and I would fill up with gas and suffer ter ribly with heartburn. Some nights I would have attacks of what seemed to be acute indigestion and it looked like I would die. I suffered so with those crampB in my' stomach that great drops of cold perspiration would roll off of me. "I fell off from one hundred and sixty-eight pounds to one hundred and fifty-five and was compelled to stop work. My daughter had taken Tan lac with such splendid results that she begged me to try it and now I can say that it certainly is great.

V So -j i When your subscribe for liberty bonds, you perhaps may wonder what the'government does with the money. Since we entered the war some of the expenses met have been as follows $37,000,000 for flour, $14,000,000 for sugar. Y4S,000,000 for bacon. $12, 000,000 for beans, $9,000,000" for canned tomatoes, and $3,000,000 for rice. We, have spent $126,000,000 for shoes; over $500,000,000 for clothing, winter and summer, nearly $150,000, 000 for blankets. Our axes for the army have cost over $8,000,000, our rolling kitchens $47,000,000 and field ranges $1, BOO, 000. The army is us ing' 2,500,000 shovels, costing- $i apiece. Our motor trucks to carry supplies and ammunition cost $240, 000,000.-and for .horse-drttwn wagons aijct carts -we. tfiave spent $37,000,000 Our 279,008 horses and 132,000 mules have" cost us '.nearly $100,000,000, to feed them "has cost over $6,000,000 and the harness for them nearly $30, 000,600. These figures are large, but ws have nearly 2,000,000 men in Krance and nearly as many morein eittftnments. here.-'' And the United States and the people of the United Statasf.hru the liberty loan, are mak ing these soldiers as safe and as com fortable, as powerful and effective) as possible. Every subscriber to the lib erty loan has helped, arid, every sub scriber to' the fourth liberty loan will help to win the war. So do your part without hesitation and with satisfac tion that you -can help a cause bo worthy. It is the best investment you ever made ,or ever will have a chance, to make. mm Some call the fourth liberty loan the "victory loan" and some call it the snd-the-war" loan. Both terms smount to the same thing and the dfuty to subscribe to it remains.

Another change: brought about by Die war Is that most of our young men dow are trying to "See Europe first." the old slogan of. "Sea America first" has been cast into the discard. k The rapidity with which Marshal Foch shifts his attacks from one Roint to another must hava convinced the Huns by this time that his "army af maneuver" is in good working Or ler. There was a time, not so long tgo, when Hindenburg asserted that 4 did not exist. In buying liberty bonds you are lelping- to buy liberty for our coun try and all mankind. In buying 11b Vty bonds you are proteotlng your loved ones from the fearful crimes ftreaked by savagery upon the wo nen and children 'of Belgium and Trance. In buying liberty bonds you f are standing by the millions of our boys whatever in Europe are being blinded and maimed and murdered in your defense and mine. How can you hesitate? N LET TJ8 EMULATE FRANCE. Liberty loan speaker and promot ers of the fourth liberty loan would do well to keep the example of France before their hearers. France has es tablished a record to be proud of, and that record not only can be equaled by this country but surpassed. And only by surpassing" may we be free from re proaching ourselves with lethargy or niggardliness. Including- the present $6,000,000,000 liberty loan, America, has raised thru bond Issues for the prosecution of the war thus far $15,985,283,000. The population of the United States in round numbers Is approximately 105,- 000,000 people. France has raised during the four years, of war and hs expended more than $23,000,000,000. The population of continental France is less than 40,000,000 souls. Thus, while the people of the United States have contributed per capita, including men, women and children, $152.37, the French people in the four years of this terrible struggle have contributed the enormous sum of $575 per capita, men, women and children included. If during four years of the most trying times In the face of the op pressor, and while defending them selves, their homes, their loved ones, the French people could contribute thus handsomely, for the successful prosecution of their ideals, what should not the American people con tribute for the same cause in which they are equally Interested? The United States has had no territory In vaded; it has been subject to no pil lage; ne loot has been taken away; no fines have been assessed against mu nicipalities. In the light of these facts, should wa not dig, and dig deeper and deeper, Into our pockets to hasten the day of full victory and just retribution? There are many signs of an ap proaching collapse In Germany. Noth ing will do more to hasten the desired end than a big and early oversubscrip tion to the fourth liberty loan. BRITAIN'S WAR RECORD. One can hardly fail to admire the efficiency and resourcefulness of the Germans, even tho these qualities, have been devoted to a bad cause. We are also disposed to point with pride: to our own accomplishments since wa entered the war.' But the record of Great Britain probable has never been equaled by any country in the world. By August, 1918, the British empire had raised .8,500,000 men for the army an navy,! "Great Britain alone contributing 6,250,000. Today, every third male of any ago In the British Isles is fighting; not Xar from 15 per cent, of the population of England and Scotland is in the forces. On the same basis the United States would contribute about 16,000,000 men. To December, 1917, British casual ties amounted to over 2,000,000. The British are fighting in fifteen far away parts of the world the naval tonnage is 8,000,000; in 1914 the tonnage, was 2,500,000; the personnel of the navy 500,000, The navy has conveyed 13, 000,000 men, 2,000,000 horses and mules, 500,000 vericles, 25,000,000 tons of explosives, 61,000,000 tons of oil and fuel, and has kept the seas open for 130,000,000 tons. of food and material; at the same time cutting off Germany's normal annual supply of foods and necessaries amounting to 6,000,000 tons. It Is said that 80 per cent of the ships In the eastern Atlan tic fighting the U-boats are Bnltish and that they have sunk 150 of the 200 U-boats destroyed. Forces In the air service number 42,000, and in one week recently Brit ish aviators dropped 3,000 tons of bombs, and in a single day on the western front sllenoed 127 German batteries and destroyed 28 gun pits. The great British merchant marine of some 16,000,000 tons has been en gaged in the task of feeding not only the allied British nations, but also In largo part the people of Belgium, Frahce, Italy, Serbia, etc. Over 8,000,- '000 British women are doing 1,701 different kinds of work previously done by men, and they have broken every pre-war., production record set up by the sterner" sex.

HAHKtKj Director. Washington. P. C, Concerning Christmas Boxes for Sol diers and Sailors. Washington, D. C, Oct. 5. Not long ago, that gravely important duj known as the, general staff ortne armv met to discuss a matter of con siderable import, namely. Christmas presents for the army overseas. xii" did not mean that the war department was considering the role of amateur Santa Claus, or at least ir mey wort, it was only Indirectly. The group of khaki clad sages was recalling how last Christmas the American soldier s host of generous and extravagant rela tives and friends bombarded him with all manner of presents, from neckties to fruit cake improperly pacnea ana hopelessly mangled and stale. Sometimes it looked as tho a safe and sane Christmas with presents strictly (J&sent would be the verdict. The soldiers themselves best realize how urgently men are needed at the front, and the staff recalled how many fighters were kept off the ships by cargoes of candy-last year. When alt-sides of the affair had been lengthily considered, and General Pershing had added his word of wise suggestion, a compromise was effected. Christmas packages for the army over seas and marine corps detachments serving with the army will be limited to ojie three pound box for each man, and that must be sent only in a pre scribed contafner and upon receipt of a label frcm the man himself. These labels, General Pershing is-having pre pared and distributed, one to each man to be filled out by him and mailed to any person he may select. The containers, which will be avail able shortly, can be secured upon presentation of the label at the near est Red Cross chapter, or, if there is no Red Cross chapter in the commun ity, at the postoffice. The boxes be ing prepared will give the best possU ble protection to the contents with the least possible weight. The size de creed, 9x4x3 Inches, does not admit of either t many or large presents, and the box must be packed so that it does nt bulge nor weigh over three pounds. It must be mailed November 20 in order to secure delivery by Christmas. Aside from these orders, the only restrictions regarding pack age or contents are, against alcohol in any 'form, liquids, matches, labeled safety or not, and other inflammable substances. Last year, the often la mented scarcity of matches abroad resulted in innumerable boxes of matches being found when the) over seas Christmas packages were exam ined by the government. This year all packages must be referred to the Red Cross- for examiisssion before mailing. u The necessity for the three pound box which seems so small can be un derstood by a glance at statistics of the army's 1917 Christmas mail. With about one-fourth the number of United States soTQiers now at the front, over one million pounds of Christmas presents were forwarded by parcel post to the postoffice before November 15. This load Was supple mented by many pounds, of packages mailed later, and by the really heavy boxes all handled by the war depart ment all express. As even a three pound box for every soldier, marine and relief worker overseas will total nearly six million pounds and fill all cargo spaee of a ship of 6,500 tons, the results of unlimited expression of affection this Christmas can be imag ined. It is not alon,e for the benefit of the soldiers that Christmas presents are to be included In the military program. As the war department explains it, the morale of the country must be kept up to standard pitch. By selecting and sending Christmas presents the soldier's relatives or friends come In closer touoh with him in thinking of aim ana trying to understand his wants. Contact with the soldiers abroad stimulates personal interest in the war, and indirectly Jie spirit of patriotism ana loyalty to the boys. A selection of gifts may,- under the circumstances, be sometimes difficult. The main thing to remember, besides the restrictions of weight and bulk. is appropriateness, both from the standpoint of the soldier's life In gen' feral and from the standpoint of the in. dividual soldier's taste. The best key to the enlisted man's desires can be found In his letters.. Among the most acceptable gilts are little home-made presents,' such as a "housewife" out fitted with soldiers' buttons, needles, tnreaa ana ptns. Snapshots, razor blades, a razor, a really good knife, tooth paste, a tooth brush, military brush, .wrist watch, fountain pen and soluble ink, pencils, and games are few other suggestions endorsed by men whn b AVA hppn avapbmi "lTftrv. thing should be of the best quality,'' saia a x M. CVA. man In thisconnec tion. "Some of the articles mentioned can be bought over there, but not of such good grades as we make." Many other things that are "just what the fighting man needs," can be satisfactorily bought In France. In this group are cakes, chewing gum, ci garettes, writing paper and candy, ex cept hard chocolate, of which there is -never a sufficient supply. For those who cannot send packages to soldier friends the Christmas, letter is suggested as a gift on almost equal terms with the popular smokes In the soldier's estimation. Tho time ordin arily required to send a letter to a soldier abroad is' three weeks, but al lowing? for possible delay and the Christmas rush of mail, a fetter should be posted five 4r six weeks before Christmas to insure timely delivery. Army mail regulations apply to all forces serving with the expeditionary force, as Red Cross workers, T. M. C. A., nurses, and the civilian labor ele ment. For marines serving .with the navy In this country, Christmas parcel regulations of the navy are In force.-. In the navy, a smaller and more scattered force permits of greater lee way sis regards the Christmas box. The sailor's package may weigh as much as twenty pounds, whether sent by parcel post or express. If directed o a vessel abroad, it should reach New York not later than November 15. Boxes must be of substantial mateia of wood if sent by express, and must have hthged or screw tpsjs to facilitate opening for Inspection. The navy follows the rules of the army resrard. ing explosives and alcohol, and re quires perishable food to be packed in cans or glass jars. Correct address of ""overseas armv packages are Insured by having each soldier nil out nis own label wnicn is to be pastedc-n the cover of his box. To this designation should be added the sender's ful name and address placed in the upner left hand corner of the side addressed.. The navy de partment also urges the return ad dress, and suggests that the packages be labeled "Christmas Box." Accord ing to navy orders, express packages are to be forwarded "oars Supply Officer, Fleet Supply Base, 29th street, and Third avenue, 8. Brooklyn, New Tork. Parcel post is to be sent ac. cording to the maif address given by the sailor for letter mail. The always expected Christmas rush will bring no new mail limitations to the forces in this country. Regular parcel post and express rulings will be In effect, and all speed possible with depleted postoffice and railroad force, will get packages mailed early to the boys by Christmas, ON THE SPUR OF THEyMOMENT BT ROT X.

'EVENING STORY In Tidy Lane. BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS. T like it already!" exclaimed Alice, as her eager city-tired eyes grasped the vision of Tiny lane witn its row of small cottages neatly lining the street- "Isn't it good to get a sniff of country air?" "Glorfous! We both, need a change from city dust. I get so sick of the office every day andTt cooped-in fiat every night. I hope the cottage is pos sible it will be so disappointing after coming way out hero in Long Island." Helen Randolf absorbed deeply the freshness of the avenue of shady trees. She was tired, frightfully tired of the strain of her editorial duties on one of the bis magazines. "Yes, I hope so, but the cottage it self doesn't ameunt to much. I can make anything in the way of a shack comfortable for us' two so long as there are a few walls and a roof. Both girls were eagerly scanning the small houses in search of No. 9. "Number nine must be the black sheep that has wandered from the fold," laughed Alice, "The tidiest part of Tidy lane doesn't seem to have any number nine. Oh! could that darling one over there possibly be it?" The advertisement for the small cottage in Tidy lane had read "Seclud ed but not isolated. Number nine certainly was isolated. It bad rambled off the other houses in the lane and found for itself a seclusion that made the hearts of the two tired lity girls Jump with sheer joy. Number nine lay in the heart of a small grove of pine tr- es and had settled itself down there for all the world like a bit of the land scape that had been created, not built. "It's too good to be true," Helen said as they mads their way back te the city to pack up and "take the first train they eould manage back to Tidy lane. "I love the way It's gone off by itself and nestled in those smelly, healthy pins trees." "And I shall have a few chickens in that little coop, and you will come home tired every evening from the office and I will be waiting for you with good things to eat." Alice was delighted to the extent of a child over a big blue-eyed doll. r "I hope you won't be lonesome all day, dear. You know it will be Change for you from seeing so many people in the city." "I couldn't be lonesome If I tried In that cute little cottage and Tidy lane villagers to study.". So it was that the two fast friends found themselves happily ensconced in number nine out in sunny, fragrant Long island.. Daily Helen Randolf took the train to ths city and the editorial chair she was filling while the editor was away fighting for Uncle Sam." And each day Alice Winter fitted more joyfully ittto tne small cottage with its quaint sur roundings. The furnishings had been a bit cold, but they were eo no longer. The garden had been a trifle lacking in color, but a few geraniums and sweet peas cheered it all up. The owner of the small cottage had gone with the American expeditionary zorce to r ranee. Alice realized tnat he could not object to the few shrubs with which she had ornamented the garden. "I hope he Will come back to his oy ihest." she said by way of a little prttyer lor tne soldier s safety. You mustn't hurt your back dia:- glng so- touch," admonished Helen often when some new shrub greeted her upon hex return from the city. "You are not secustomed to that kind or worn," "My digging." she cried excitedly tne next evening when ner Dal re turned, "has unearthed a mystery. 'Look here!" She held ud a substan tial tin box. "I started to put in that hydrangea this afternoon and was probing around for a soft spot to dig in and finding one I came upon this box." "Burled treasure? I suppose it is some child's pirate box. We used to bury them as children." i Nevertheless the girls were both interested "Child nothing!" exclaimed Alice, "It's full to the gaff of manuscriDts. Short stories. And look at the note mat was on top!" Helen to6k the quite newly typed note and read its contents. "Farewell to fame. Mother raised her boy to be a soldier not a genius." The note was signed "Philip Cheyne" and con tained no more information. The many rejection slips from all thsvNew i or magasines. however, told all the taie tnat was necessary. "Poor kld.'r lauehed Helen, her edi torial brain busy with the contents of the stories. Shs was skimming them swirtiy witn the trained mind of reader. "Goosey," she said lovingly to Alice, "I suppose you hadn't even looked at these stories." "I wouldn't know a good story from a bad on If I got your whole big salary for it," laughed Alice. "Are they all so bad as that?" shs inquired, sadly gazing at ths number of reject tion slips. "They're pretty bad," commented Helen, "except the plots, and they are rather unusual. But Philip Cheyne knows no more about the feminine nature than yoj do about stories. His women are appalling. Tljey never lived and never could .lve." Her voice trailed off In the mase of critical reading that absorbed her. "You know,", she said finally when Alice called her into tho small, flowery, din ing room and set her down at the dainty table-"I could make a lot of those stories into strong fiction by a few touches. The magasine is sadly in need of new brains Just now. I've a mind to whip them -in shape ..nd bring out Philip Cheyne as a writer." "Oh, .Helen! .Wouldn't that be great? I Just wish -I weren't so stu pid and couldvhelp you." "You can help by being Just your sweet., lovable feminine little self. I can put you right into hoae stories. You are the type that's needed here. So you see, dearie, you will be the means of many big checks going into that tin box for Philip Cheyne when he returns from ithe war." i A little silence fell on the two en thusiastic girls. Each felt the sinister chill of those three words, "when lis returns." A month or two passed happily and hesjthily by. Helen Randolf took a tremendous smount of pleasure in whipping the strangely acquired stories of Philln- Cheyne into shape and as .each was finished giving it a fiaes on the pages of the big success ful magasine. They turned out even better than she had aitiolpated. She was more than proud of her new writ er and prominence was given them. The Illustrations wsre delightfuL. The- checks paid for- those stories were so big that one would have paid ths rent of No. Tfdy lane for some six months. Instead of paying for anything, each check was placed cat e fully in the -tin bos that Alice had dug up while planting the hydrangeas. 1 The girls bad been in the wonder QCTOBER OH, WILHELM-ALLAHHELeLUP!! vV BSflSsMskSstaSsasstfSlisBB ful straying cottage of Tidy lane some seven months and five, of Philip Cheyne's stories had been published. Then, -by telegram, came the all-) too-suaaen news tnat tJneyne naa necn "brought home, a wounded soldier, to recuperate In his Long Island cottage. .Helen and Alice were grateful that ho had at least returned alive. They could not help a regret or two at leaving the little village to which they bad both become attached. A tiny cottage that had not strayed from the fold but remained in the tidy row was happily vacant. "Do you think we could furnish it and when Arthur and I are married," suggested Helen, "we could keep It for a. week-end cottage?" ."Great!" agreen Alice. "I Just hate to leave Tidy lane and go back to the stuffy city." So together they refreshen No. S with sweet smelling flowers, left every thing attractive for the homecoming of its soldier owner and moved to No. 7. "I wish we could peek thru the window and watch him open that box," pined Alice, as with four large checks topping It they closed the box and left it conspicuously on the center table. Beside it were the four maga zine opened to display the stories of Philip Cheyne. "Lordy, Lordy!" exclaimed that young man when; battered as to body but cheery as to spirits, he arrived in No. 9, "some good fairies have been fluttering about my dump." He had n't known, jus't how good It would be to get back home. In his heart he longed for the one being that makes a home home, and knew that he was going on a still hunt for that one per son. He had been single long enough and now that he had been humanised by the war and its tragedies he real ised the need of companionship. He was so -amazed at ths seeming miracle of his stories that he sat down and ready every word of them before an hour had passed. vHe grinned at the sight of hs own name in print and delighted beyond belief. The checks too, were immensely gratifying, but somehow the queerness of fate held him in silent thought. Of course he was determined to unearth the good fairy just- as his tin box had been un earthed. It would not be difficult, for he had the editor of the magazine to consult. Cheyne also knew that he was going to be able now to produce more and better stories. Many- big things had come to him out there in Ne Man's Land. Thus it was that ha stopped one eve ning at 7 Tidy lane, and having stop ped lingered. Helen always said she saw tho way the wind blew that very first day, and not long afterward Alice moved into the little cottage that had straggled from the fold and become its mistress, and Helen and Arthur were married and week-ending in No. 7.

Tbe Excitement of Being; a Woman. g. Another source of excitement to women is the servant question. A man who treats his -employes well and pays' them fairly is practically certain to find them at their post every day. Not so with the temperamental hired girl. No woman knows when shs opens her eyes in the morntng but what shs will find- that her treasure has fled In the night Thus is a wom an's day ushered in with ths thflljing suspense and uncertainty of whether she will have to get up and get break fast or not. Life may be full-of thorns to the feminine sex, but it can never be uneventful as long as we have the hired girl in our midst. Then there are the children. No woman who has children can lack for interest or excitement, for every child is a bunch of thrills. To the onlooker a baby is Just a little bundle of pink arid white, of colic and yells, but no dreamer, no prophet ever had such ecstatic visions as course thru its mother's mind as she holds him to her breast. 4 She sees the little squirming red1 mite of humanity grown to a man's or-woman's estate, supernal ly beautiful, angelically perfect, a tri umphant genius, crowned with hon ors and riches, amid the plaudits or an admiring world. Oh, Ws an exciting thing to be "a mother., and the beauty of it is- that every mother has this thrilling long drawn out hope and latth about each child, that lasts for twenty or thirty years, sometimes longer; and by the time her belief In her own children begins to dim she transfars it te her grandchildren and- goes on thrilling arout wnat tney are going to do. In America, among men, ths na tional sport, ths only game that really crisps their nerves and sends the blood bounding thru their veins is the excitement of money making. Some American women an increasing num ber every year are enjoying' that along witn tneir Drotners, out Ameri can women, as a gsneral thing, have even more fun in spending money than their men have in making it. That is their national sport. Life will always bs worth living (o a woman so long as there are shops and she has the wherewithal to buy. That alone gives piquancy to existence. It is Impossible for a woman to imag ine herself being bored in a world that still contains marked down sales, and the mad Monday, morning rush on the bargain counter. The excitements hereinbefore enum erated are these which belong to peace times. Now ws havs ths terri ble thrill of war that has filled every woman's heart with sorrow, and every woman's hands with Red Cross work, and it is significant that women have ceased complaining about their ail ments, and recounting their symptoms, and fussing over little indispositions. So perhaps the physician is right and women do take ta seml-invalidiam as refuge from boredom. CCeprrlgvtsd, JtlT. by.

Do nothing to force him to feveal his Intentions, because, when he feels ready, he will speak voluntar ily if he loves you.

IT TAKES A STAND Chamber of Commerce Finally Grits Its Teeth. Will See That JRooms Are for Legitimate! Purposes. NO PATRIOTIC CAMOUFLAGE Boycott Sessions Not To Be Fathered by Merchants. o More Encouragement "Propaganda". Bodies. to "Elliott roored that tbe -use of the rooms r Tuesday nipbfc meeting be permitted." jitlon seconded hy Trapp. This motion was defeated. ft "Elliott mored that an long; as the meet lne 'or Tuesday nipht has been advertised that the use of the rooms be granted for that night, but that In the future the use of the rooms be granted only when the matter Is taken before the board of direc tors." Motion seconded by Penwell. This motion passed. an these two motions which were in troduced at a meeting; bf the Hoard of directors of the Chamber of Commerce Saturday noon, lies the crux of the whole grownrStevic situation in so far as It affects the Chamber of Com merce. The motions were made after a long discussion of two meetings held lately at the Chamber of Commerce meet ings ostensibly arranged for patriotic purposes but which when held devel oped into meetings replete with class prejudice and class distinction. A man named Brown was the prime mover in both of the meetings which have aroused the ire of the Topeka Cham ber of Commerce membership and certain ones of the board of directors. Both of the meetjriRS referred to were held in the Chamber of Com merce rooms after Brown had ob tained permission to use the rooms on the grounds of a patriotic meeting. But the last of the two meetings was the worst. Brown obtained the use of the -rooms for a "Bill Biby meeting." The time for the meeting rolled around and a certain local trades union in process of organization went into session. Two or three speeches were made by representatives of union la bor. Then a representative of the striking stage hands' union was intro duced and proceeded to urge on the assembled union men a boycott of the Crawford theaters as an indication of "sympathy with the union men seek ing a fair deal." x According to sentiments openly ex-1 pressed in the Chambefof Commerce rooms, in the Chamber of Commerce halK and on the streets by Chamber of Commerce members, all this might have been all right and fine, and possi- bly forgiven except that for some un explalnable reason the word has been sifted and filtered around so that now it appears that the Chamber of Com merce is fathering the infant union whose organization meetings have been held in the Chamber of Com merce rooms. Demands for Expulsion. Time after time in the last six months since Stevic and Brown joined the Chamber of Commerce such matters have come up before the board of directors. Petitions have ?een presented to the board demandi ng the expulsion of both of these men from the membership rolls of the Chamber of Commerce. But always the matter has bean allowed to settle and blow away for the time. x In meetings of the board of direc tors one thought has always seemed to be uppermost in the minds of the di rectors or rather a few of them. It is that the Chamber of Commerce must pacify all elements in the town. The recent move of the Chamber of Commerce board of directors gives in dications that this spineless policy is now to be discarded and in its place that the chamber -will gird its loins for battle, set its feet firmly on one side of the fence or other and give battle. In proof of which attitude, George T. McBntire, president of the Cham ber of Commerce, introduced a reso lution at the Saturday meeting ot the board. No action was taken on the resolution at the time, but the fire smoulders and the promise is good. The resolution follows: At' its meeting this fifth day of October, the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, deems it advisable to clearly state its position and policy and make known its reasons therefore, relative to the course which this organisation should pur sue on all matters where political, relig ious st economic questions are involved. The people of a community very natural ly group themselves according t their own partfcnlar views on religious, political or1' economic questions and thru these gronplngs or organizations very properly .seek to carry oa the propaganda in behalf of their particular opinions. It is self-evident, however, that com munity life brings up community prob lems and needs that alone can be success fully met by the cooperation of the people of the community as a whole. It is also self-evident that the only en during basts for snch cooperative effort .is an association wterein our differences concerning questions political, religious or economic must, absolutely and most rigid ly, be submerged. f In this- city the outstanding community center or common meeting place for all la the Chamber f Commerce, and it Is the judgment of Its board of directors that it would not only be unwise but absolutely fatal to the perpetuity of the organization itself and decidedly against the best in terests of the community as a whole, for f Mhe Chamber of Commerce to aid or coun tenance in any manner or degree whatso ever, any movement or propaganda upon any question or questions npoii which any considerable number of the people or our ...community are divided in their opinlors. The vltnl importance of the proposition outlined above seems to Justify the board In urging upon all of its officers that this rule of action ahnll be strlctlyand most Impartially adhered to relative to the granting of the nse of the club quarters and facilities and in the meeting of all if.1! r,'"b Probl('nis, wherein religions, po Itlcal or economic differences of view point may bo Involved.
