FORCE TOO SMALL
Chief Ross Says It Is Difficult to
Catch Pole ViOlatOrs.
Candidates Who Tack Up Their
Cards Can't Be Found.

Since Tuesday evening large num-
bers of the political cards tackled on
telephone poles in the city have been
torn down by the police and other par
ties Poles in the outskirts Of the
city are still plastered with the ad-
vertisements.
'The police force OF Topeka is too
small for town this size," said Josiah
Ross, chief Of police, in reference to
the matter today. 1--WE are trying to
catch those responsible for the viola
ton but with only eight men to cover
the city in the daytime it is impossible
to make much headway.'
According to the police nearly all
the cards were posted on the sly or at
night.
Huntoon street, West Tenth and To-
peka avenue are among the streets
where the eyesore is in much evidence.

Thrilling Encounter Between
French and German AviatOrs.
One Machine Flutters to Earth
Like Wounded Bird.

Paris. Oct 1.-THE activity of Ger
man aeroplanes over Paris has brought
up a general discussion of the value of
these machines in warfare, and a re-
cital of thrilling aerial duels between
French and German machines. One
French corps commander Is quoted as
having said that in his opinion single
aerOplane was as valuable as division
of cavalry. Aeroplanes are of the great
est service in preventing surprises and
few important movements of troops
have been made which have not been
promptly reported by aerial scouts be-
fore their completion.
daring encounter took place re-
Gently between a German monoplane
and a French biplane during a critical
ant maneuver north of the river Oise.
The German machine was seen SAIL
ing over the French lines just before
a strong detachment of troops was to
start on movement to the north. For
the success of this maneuver it was
vital that this sentry of the air be re-
moved. and French biplane undertook
the responsibility. The French machine
rose abruptly and in rapid circles,
gained an altitude CREATED than that Of
the German. but even this advantage
was not sufficient to drive the scout
away.
In daring dive, in which he braved
a heavy fire from the French lines. the
German descended to a height of 1000
yards and skilfully avoiding the French
machine, he started to drive for the
German lines. The Frenchman seemed

encounters in this war For a while the
German was successful in keeping out

Neidenburg were bad enough, with
their still present reminders of the sac
rifice Of human life, but the country
side told stories OF murder, rapine and
inhuman cruelty almost beyond belief.
Around Neidenburg the Russian hordes
satisfied their lust by violating scores
OF defenseless peasant women-some Of
them 60 and 20 years old. The country
side around this place-near- the Rus
sian frontier, where the Cars forces
for a time reformed to fight against the
overwhelming pressure of the German
line forcing them back, was terribly
devastated.
The Russian soldiers took full re-
venge for their defeat on the women.
Catholic sisters and young girls bore
cruelties worse than the tortures Of
the battlefield and were left dying as
the hordes passed on. The Russians
killed every male they encountered who
was of military age. The countryside
has been stripped of all Of its men be-
tween IA and 45- Older men who feebly
Nor was this horror confined to
the country near Neidenburg. The
Russian investment of Koenigsburg
was accompanied by the same riot of
lust. At Absthwanger, tiny village
10 miles from Koenigsburg, 81 men
and women were shot, including s
boys between II and 19.
II heard the stories of some of those
who witnessed these scenes of blood,
slaughter and pil1age. The father of
a IA year old boy. his eyes bloodshot
with days of weeping, told me how the
Cossacks shot down the little crowd
one by one.
One by One.
They were not killed in one vol
ley." he said. THE Russians shot them
one by one. My wife and myself got
on our knees and prayed to God that
our boy might be spared. We saw him,
his hands outstretched to us In an
unavailing appeal. that we aid him.
They bound my wife and myself to-
gether and forced us to see our own
baby-for he was mere child, fall
before their bullets, as he cried to us
to aid him.
Here at Absthwanger. also, 1 went
to the sick bed-perhaps the death
bed-of young widow who raved in
delfrium of the horrors she had wit
messed. The Cossacks forced her to
stand at a window and witness the
shooting down in the garden, of her
husband of a month. her IS year old
father and her 6z year old father-in-
law by three Cossacis.
Pastor Rocket at Greesxenen told
me how his brother was beaten to
death by q Cossack who prodded the
dead body with his lance and gouged
his eyes OUT.
