the heavy reinforcements rushed to the
front yesterday. are making themselves
felt. especially on the left. where the
task of breaking the power Of resist
ance Of the combined armies OF Generals
Won Boehm and Won Kluck is being
pushed to the utmost.
Although figures are naturally with
held, it Is learned hero that during the
last two days the army of General
DAmand, which commands the extreme
left of the French position, has been re-
inforced by nearly three army corps. so
that it has been possible to extend his
line very nearly to the Belgian border.
AS a matter of fact. the French are
in touch with the Belgian forces who
have been operating irregularly in the
west Of 0elgium and with the British
base Of Ostend.
The percentage Of old men in the line
Of prisoners continues to increase. There
is now no doubt that members of the
Landstrum are fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the armies of the first
line. This is believed here to be due to
the forced withdrawal OF active troops
to stop the Russian advance from the
east

cure $4,000 Near Pauline.

III Madison street, deputy county as
SCISSOR, was arrested last night at EN-
poria and is charged with blackmau. 1t

employ Of the mills for ten years.
When the Topeka officers presented
Collins with a warrant Tor Dlackma1l
in Emporia last night. he made no Ell
fort to resist them He declined to TAN
about the case. His father said that he
was in Topeka at the time of the Ham
matt trouble. but said that the young
man was not in any way concerned With
it.
According to Charles Lyle. the detec-
tive who has been handling the case
Collins has told several conflicting
stories about his whereabouts on the
night of the Hammatt case. Collins has
been quizzed several times by the au-
thorities and his tales are said to dis
agree in several particulars.
Collins was arraigned In the court OF
Topeka this morning and his bond was
placed at 81 900.

Matchmaking Theodore Hammatt las1
week, was released late this afternoon
on $1,000 bond. The preliminary

pay Of the treasurer's office. in that
new help was provided. The bill which
the legislature passed made clear that
no fees were to be held by any state
official or assistant. During that same
session Of the legislature. Governor
Stubbs refused to approve the miscella-
neous appropriation bill because 1t con-
tanned an item for fees to be paid to J.
M. Nation. former state auditor. The
legislature passed the bill. without in
Guiding the Nation item.
Then the anti-fee law which the leg
is1ature had enacted. was checked up
to the supreme court. The court said
that something in the title of the act
didn't correspond to the body OF the
act and for that reason the officials
were entitled to the fees. Thus it is
perfectly legal for both Akers and
Davis to retain the fees of their office.
But under 1t all, Republican and
Democratic and Progressive speakers
and newspapers have found criticism
based on a moral issue. They argue
that the money was not intended for
the officials when the legislature passed
the law and that a legal right is not
always a moral right So 1t is that the
1916 law makers will probably be asked
to remedy the existing statute.
The Akers-Davis Fees.
During the two years of his service
as state treasurer, it is estimated that
Akers' fees will total not less than
$1,000 to 800. 1t is also estimated that
the Davis fees will aggregate some
$1,000 to $500.
Under the present fiscal agency plan,
the fees of the treasurer's office will
increase each year. Based on estimates
Of men in touch with the states affairs
