Mrs. Ida III. Hardy Gets Out Book
for Children.

A book for children that has just
been published is the work Of To-
peka woman, Mrs. Ida H. Hardy.
The book is Aunt Joys Nature
Talks" and it is for use in homes,
schools and Sunday schools. The
author is well known in this city,
where she has been identified for a
good many years with the study Of
child culture and with modern meth
DDS in Sunday school work. She was
elected national president Of the
League OF American Mothers at q
convention held in Chicago in 1900.
and held the Office three years. Dur
ing the past ten years she has been q
regular contributor to magazines for
children.
The book is made up Of stories
about the gifts Of nature, and these
tales, we'll illustrated, are told in a
way that appeals to the interest and
understanding Of little people. 1t con-
tains stories about light. water. air.
rocks, minerals. various kinds Of veg
citation and animals, and these sub
jects that are usually puzzling to chill
dren are handled in a peculiarly live
1y and entertaining way.
lach story Is well illustrated. Many
Of the pictures are of scenes and peo-
pie in or near Topeka, and have a
special local interest on that account.

ON TO BoULOCNE
Germans Are Elated by the
Capture of Ostend.
Are Planning to Follow on
Down the Coast.

London, Oct. 17.-German forces, as
was predicted, have occupied Ostend ON
the North sea, near where the German
right wing and the allies left are strug-
Cling in the latest phase Of what was
once the battle of the Aisne. Reports
imagination has been fired by the TAX
ing of Ostend and the cry now is not
only "On to Calais but ION to Bou-
logne."
What progress IL any. the Germans
have made since they entseed Ostend
Thursday morning IL not known here,
but their next objective apparently is
Dunkirk. Opinion in England seems to
differ as to what part the British fleet
would play should the battle continue
to skirt the cOastline and the reports
that British dreadnoughts would back
up the French, British and Belgian
forces from the straits of Dover seem
to originate in German sources.
London papers generally depreciate
the Importance of the German occupa-
ton of the Belgian coast. pointing out
that the British mine field prevents
the enemy's bringing ships to operate
from the none too spacious harbor of
Ostend. The fact remains. however,
that as the fighting gets geographically
nearer to England, the public hereto
fore discussing and specializing on a
Zeppelin raid, il bound to ask itself
what win come next. It il unquestion-
ably true that If Germany is able to
engineer submarine attacks from a base
further away, Ostend If held by the in
vaders certainly would be of some
strategetic value.
Left Stands Firm.
The allies left Is holding its ground
At some points 1t is even moving for
ward having occupied Laventie, driving
the Germans back In the direction of
Lille. One report had it that the Ger
mans had been driven out of Lille.
presence Of Uhlans has been reported
recently within 40 miles Of Calais, but
a glance at tine map in the region of
the cavalry clashes of the last few days,
which for q time extended as far west
as Hazebrouck, shows that notwith-
standing the German claims Of victor
les the allies have made steady prog
ress.
Laventie is considerably east of
the town mentioned. Little definite
news came during the morning of fight
ing along the Vistula river. where the
Russians claim to have repulsed a Ger
man attack. Whether the German ad-
vance on Warsaw has been perma-
nently checked only the future can
show. One version has it that the Ger
mans are preparing to winter in Poland.
According 70 a dispatch from Petro-
grad, dated Friday but received here
today the Russians now have opened
their attack along the entire line with
special energy in the south, where Cen
eral Brussiloffs cavalry is said to have
together with trains carrying reinforce
ments and supplies. In retreating from
Warsaw 1t is said the Germans lost
~ guns intended for siege Of that city.
