VIII Be Held In Meade Next
Saturday In Honor OF The
Boys OF Sixty-One

On next Saturday it becomes
us all, as patriotic citizens, to
withdraw for day from the. ac-
.tivities lof life, and pay our re-
spects to those Veterans who are
still with US, and to do honor, as
best we can, to those who have
spread their tents on Fame's
eternal camping ground. 1t is
the Veterans day and let us re-
member that the only debt that
a nation can never repay is the
one to her soldiers. In this con-
nection, we are reminded of
these words of Ingersoll:
"This day is sacred to the
great heroic host who kept the
flag above our heads-sacred to
the living and the dead-sacred
to the SCARED and MANNED
sacred to the wives who gave
their husbands, to the mothers
who gave their sons.
Here in this peaceful land of
ours-here where the sun shines
where flowers grow, where child
ren play. millions of armed men
battled for the right and breast
ed on thousand fields the iron
storms of war. These brave,
these incompatible men founded
the FIRST Republic. They fulfill
ed the prophecies, they brought
to pass the dreams, they realized
Abe hopes, that all the great and
good and wise and just have
made and had since man was
man. But what of those who
del17 There is no language to
express the debt we owe, the
ROve We bear, to all the dead who
died for us. Words are but bar
geo sounds. We can but stand
beside their graves and in the
7AAth and, silence, feel what
aPe&eh has never tioId.'' ~

Special Correspondence

In l9O9 the State received some
thing over $532,OOo in cash from
the United States Government
on old war claims. Twenty-Five
thousand of this was paid to John
c. Nicholson, State Financial
Agent at Washington, as COM
mission for successfully pushing
the claim. This left fund of
$4,000 in the State Treasury
which the Legislature of 1909
practically set aside in the pre-
amble to Chapter is of the Ses-
sion Laws of 1909 for the pur-
pose of erecting and completing
the Memorial Building, which
was dedicated at Topeka this
week.
The first appropriation in 1909
was $500, 900, but only $4,000 of
this sum was spent, and the bal
ance of $4,000 was cancelled
by the Legislature of 1911. The
Press Bureau is reliably inform
ed that even this 100000 appro-
priation was included in the
State Auditors estimate of the
amount of money to be raishd by
taxation and was raised by di-
rect taxation that year,
Governor Stubbs deliberately
delayed the work of construction
on Memorial Hall for the same
reason that the State Hospital at
Larned and the tuberculosis
Hospital at Horton, we're not
constructed. If the work on
Memorial Hall had been pushed
and the balance of $3.50, 900 used,
it would have compelled an in
crease in the state levy; and this,
for political reasons, Stubbs
wanted to avoid.
| It is said that when the Legis,
Ilature Of 1911 met, the $50, 900
net balance received from the
Government had already been
spent by the Stubs admins
tration in paying running ex-
penses of the state. Apparently
the Legislature of 1911 was kept
in ignorance of this fact, for it
again emphasized it's intention of
devoting this fund of $50, 900 to
'tthe bnjlding of sthis: Memorial
Hall by repeating in Chapter 40
of the Session Laws of 1911 the
pream ble of the original act of
1909 and appropriating the sum
of $250.O00 to be expended dur
ing the fiscal years 1912 and
1928. This also was raised
by direct taxation.
When Gov ernor Hodges came
into Office, $215,oOO of this last
$3.50. 1000 appropriation bad al
ready been spent, but the entire
$50, 900 was gone and the unex-
pended balance of 100000 that
had been raised in 1909-10 for
the express purpose of being ap-
piled to the building of Memorial
Hall was also gone used for 9th
er purposes and wiped out; and
not only that, but in December
1912, the Stubbs administration
was compelled to reach over and
take 1887, 900 out of the taxes of
1913 belonging to the Hodges ad-
ministration, to pay 1912 bills
and then left deficits amounting
to Sis, 900. So that when Gov
ernor Hodges came into Office,
1854, 600 had been spent on Mem
oral Hall by the Stubs admin
istration, but the S510,0000was
gone, as was also the $200,000.00
raised by direct taxation in 1909
10, and the $250,O00 raised in
1911 and 1912 by taxation.
Adding these items together
we find that out of $3.50, 900, $751;
900 was spent on the Building,
and the rest of the money was
used to>keep the Stubs admin
istration out of bankruptcy.
This left the Hodges admins
tration the unfinished building to
complete. $l75,OOO was appro-
priated for that purpose, and

Allied Turning
Mopement Goes On

PARIS, sept. 23.-Desptte all ef-
forts on the part OF the Germans to
lift the pressure on their right wing,
the allied turning movement contin-
ues. Official information received at
military headquarters today empha-
sized this fact. The British French
columns continue TO force the Ger
mans backward all along the line oc-
cupied by General Won Kluck. Re-
ports received this morning stated
without qualification that the Ger
man right has been turned and that
the allies were assaulting In force In
an effort to divide the army and cut
of its most seutherly forces.
With the Modification of the wealth.
er II Is possible for the allies to oper-
ate much faster than has been the case
during the last FIVE days. Conse-
quently the bringing into action of
the heavier field pieces has been of
great benefit to the attacking forces.
On the German center II r. stated
the lines still hold. The southwark
movement OF the enemy has been
checked, although he still continues
to attempt to break through the
French line, now strongly reinforced.
The German left Is very active.
Strong achievements have been
sent into action and they are operat-
ing well within the Lorraine frontier.
The death list Is enormous on both
sides. In the last three days the allies
have suffered more than the Germans
on their center and right; inasmuch
as they have been attacking In force
IN an effort to break through the Ger
man lines.
PETROGRAD. Sept. 23.-That many
Austrians are deserving to the Rus
SLAMS was announced at the war office
today. II was stated that the mem.
bers Of the Landwehr and of the Err
satz, or supplemental reserves, who
have been pushed to the front, believe
they are deliberately bling sacrificed by
the army chiefs and so are refusing
to fight. In addition, many OF these
men are Slavs and they prefer to
take their chances with the Russians
From every point along the line OF
battle In Galicia come reports Of Rus
sian victories. Przemysl, which is
held by the Austrian-German forces,
Is maintaining a strong resistance,
but Il Is being bombarded from all
points, and already the heavy Russian
siege guns have wrought havoc with
tho outer defenses.
That the Austrian army of Gen.

rumors. 1t Is difficult to determine
where they originate.
According to the Daily News naval
expert the admiralty has learned that
the main body Of the German fleet Is
carefully slowed away In the shelter
ed harbors and under the protection
of land guns. The channels leading
to these harbors are so strewn with
mines, the expert says, that II Is an
absolute impossibility to get through
them unscathed.
LONDON, Sept. 23.--Nine miles OF
trenches filed with unburied dead
were the fruits OF yesterdays lighting
by the British troops now making up
the allied left wing. They were taken,
according to reports received from
several sources, unofficial but well au-
thenticated, In successful turning
movement between the district just
south of st. Quentin and Peronne.
For hours before the British
charged the line, the British artillery
shelled the German position. The
range was deadly. From aeroplanes
that few low. defying the hail Of Ger
man bullets, the range was given and
the shells burst like deadly hail dr.
rectly over the tops of the great line
of parallel trenches jammed with Ger
man troops waiting for orders to
charge the British line. Twice they
essayed TO do so, but the British fire
was so accurate. SO deadly, that all
finally had to crawl back to the frail
shelter OF the earthworks.
When the British finally charged
there was hardly single unwounded
