Dangerous as Gas in Coal Mines, Say
Federal Experts.

from explosion is as great in flour mills
and grain elevators as it is in coal

cautions against explosions in coal
mines should be used in grain prod
acts factories.

RECALLS EARLIER CONFLICT
Armies Meeting on Scene Of Battle
Of Forty.four Years AGO.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Ofhcials here
displayed much interest in the re-
ports of the general engagement In
France along an extended battle front.
The feeling was general that de-
cisive battle was in progress. but Of
fetal dispatches to the American gov
eminent contained no news of the hos
tilities.
Military observers noted that
Meaux, the place east of Paris where
the general engagement began, is the
same place where the German head
quarters were established on Sept. 16,
1870, and the orders issued for the in
vestment of Paris. These orders d.
rected the German army of the Mouse
to invest the capital in wide half
circle from the Marine above Paris, to
the Seine, below 1T, while the third
army was ordered to form similar
half circle on the left banks Of both
rivers.

POOR SEED EXPENSIVE.

Iowa: Farmers who tested their seod
corn found in numerous instances
that corn which they thought good for
proved to be only 80 per cent strong.
It pays to test every ear. BY planting
a single spoiled ear, the farmer loses
200 hills of corn. The crop from these
fills would pay amply for the trouble
Of testing all the seed used" BY
planting iced that is only 80 per cent
strong, there is 10 per cent loss b

BRITISH TRADE
SHOWS DECLINE
Imports and Exports for Au-
gust Fall OF.
FEWER PEOPLE SEEKING WORK

Effect Of War on Trade Compared
With August Year Ago 10 Seen by
a Decrease in Imports Of Over Six.
ty.five Million Dollars and in Ex-
ports Of Nearly Hundred Million.
2 London, Sept, .S.-The effect of the
war on British trade is seen in the
board of trade returns for August.
Imports compared with the cor
responding month last year show
decrease of upwards of $65,OOO,OOO,
while exports have fallen off nearly
$1OO.OoO.ooO. The imports of sugar
have dropped more than $7,5OO,O0O.
OF which the loss of 100000 falls on
Germany alone. Manufactured arti-
cles show a decrease of $42,500,0OO
in imports.
In exports coal is down $1O,000.0O
and manufactured articles $4,000, 900.
OF the latter $12,5OO.OOO was lost on
ships and war munitions and 100000
900 on cotton and wooden fabrics.
A return issued by the board OF
trade shows that growth of unem-
ployment virtually has stopped. In
the trades where insurance against
unemployment is enforced the per-
centage is 6.24-almost exactly the
same as last week, and compared with
1874 last year.
The number; of persons seeking en-
ployment at labor bureaus actually
has fallen off, but still is about double
what il was year ago.
Recruiting, which is proceeding at
an amazing rate, accounts somewhat
for this, particularly in the North and
mining. districts. Recruits are apply
ing in such numbers that at some
places 1t has been decided to close the
recruiting offices for week.
Prices of food show little change
and this is due more to increased
freight and insurance rates than to
shortage of supplies. Meat and fish
are arriving almost in normal quanti-
ties.

the Fact That Federal Troops Are
Still in Zone of Trouble.

He addressed his letters to the heads
Of the mining companies and to off.
GERS of the United Mine Workers OF

months ago have heard proposals and
counter proposals but no solution.
Because federal troops are on duty
in the strike district the president
feels that the government has q Pc
culiar position.
The president urged that both sides
adopt tentative basis for the adjust
ment of the strike. which has been
proposed by the federal mediators. A
draft of the proposal was laid before
the president by the secretary of Ia
Dor and has been approved by the
administration. 1t provides that a
tnree-year truce be established, sub
ject to a list of conditions, including
the enforcement of the mining and
labor laws of the state. As soon as
the truce is declared the federal
troops would be withdrawn.
The agreement also provides for
the withdrawal of mine guards and
the stopping Of picketing, parading
and colonizing.
Failing in adjustment Of grievances
of miners the tentative agreement
provides that commission of three
be appointed by the president Of the
United States to work out q solution.

in The BIG nine
Football Practice Is Now On in
Earnest.
First Games of Season Sched-
uled for Saturday.

Chicago, Sept 21-Coaches Of the
Western conference football elevens Of
hcially began the rush of practice to-
day to whip squads into top form for
the opening games of the Big Min"
season on October 3.
Although most Of the candidates for
the elevens are expected to report in
fairly good condition as a result Of
preliminary training. the Coaches will
be compelled to force their charges at
brisk pace as they will have less than
two weeks for practice. 1t is hardly
probable that scrimmage work will be
attempted before the latter part of the
week. First drills. according to the
program, will consist Of throwing and
catching forward passes. kicking and
catching punts. blocking and tackling.
Northwestern university was the only
Big Nine school to beat the barrier
in starting practice. The Evanston
squad lined up for the first time under
the direction Of Coach Murphy, on Sat
urday. and put in three hours Of the
first conference school to get started on
it's fall schedule, the Hoosiers having
a game scheduled with Depauw uni
versity at Bloomington, Ind, on next
Saturday.
All of the big Nine" -elevens have
games carded for a week from Satur-
day. although most of them are of
preliminary nature. The only inter-
conference game on that date is that
between the University of Indiana and
the University Of Chicago.
A team far above the average weight
is expected at Chicago this season as
all Of the veterans Of last years cham
piOnship eleven are reported to have
taken on more pOundage. The re-
placing Of Nelson Norgren in the back
field appears to be the biggest problem
for Coach Stage. Coach Zuppe OF the
University of Illinois will be uncertain
as to the makeup of his squad for sew
eral days as several players of last sea-
son must remove conditions in their
studies before becoming eligible.

ator Simmons said there was no in
tention of cutting the bill SO as to in
clude only projects already under way

White House primarily to discuss the
Alaska coal leasing bill, which Presi-
dent Wilson is eager to have passed.
The senator told the president the bill

harbOrs measure.

the plan for continuous session he
declared he was prepared.
Il brought with me a dress suit
case" he said. and am prepared to

holds out. In my suit case is a loung-
ing robe and have picked out a soft
couch which will be Of service when
.reinfOrcements give me a chance for
rest. The outlook is for finish

rules today. The war tax bill, intro
duced by Democratic Leader Under
wood, will come up for consideration

HONOR TO WASHBURN
Blue Ribbon to Colleges Art Depart
ment.

There was much qualification this
morning in Washburn circles, when
the blue ribbon that the schools art
department had won at the state fair
last week was exhibited in chapel.
The fine arts exhibit was of work
done by the students of the college
under the direction of Mrs. L. d.
Whittemore. who has charge of the
art department. 1t included paint
ings, drawings, and the notebooks
kept by the students.
This year the art departments
teaching force is enriched by the ad-
dition of Miss Pauline Haynes, a To-
peka girl, who showed unusual talent
in her high school art work. Last
year she studied in the New York
School of Design and Applied Arts,
where her talent and ability were so
we'll recognized, that she was wanted
as one Of the faculty this year. The
art department is fortunate in having
her here this year.

women HEAR DOSTER
Political Problems of Day Talked
Over Today.

A number of women who are inter-
ested in political problems met this
afternoon at the rooms of the Shaw
nee Democratic committee on the Sec
ond floor of the New England build
ing, to hear the principles of Democ-
racy discussed by Judge Frank Dos
ter. The invitation, as issued by the
committee composed of Carl Peterson,
Judge DOster. John Schenck, E. b.
Stotts and H. B. Pierce, was without
regard to the political leanings or at
filiations Of the newly enfranchised
voters. but to all women who cared
to attend.
Judge Dosters remarks were not
along the me of an appeal for Demo-
cratic votes. but rather along the line
of a history of the Democratic party
and declaration of party principles.
Among the women who attended
were several members of the Political
Science club of Topeka. The MEM
bers of this organization. which is
non-political, and organized for the
study Of political affairs, have decided
to use their best effort toward getting
every woman who is registered as a
Topeka voter. regardless of political
faith. to the polls at the November
election.

was felt-3 o'clock in the morning
the activities of the mountain were not

selves visible from a distance, but at
6 o'clock vast volume Of sulphur

Twice yesterday the two new craters
spouted clouds of smoke. but today
they were inactive, while the lower
vent was furiously busy. Smoke and
floating ashes veiled the entire noun
