RUSSIANS TAKE HEART
Successes on Two Fronts Inspire En-
thusiasm in Petrograd.

Petrograd, Oct. 1.-Official admls-
sion from the war office that news of
inoDortant Russian successes is being
purposely withheld, combined with re
ports of victories for the allies in
France, has inspired the greatest en-
thusiasm here.
The war office, it is understood,
will issue a statement within few
days regarding the number of pris-
oners and guns taken in recent oper-
ations. This statement, it is said, will
give evidence that the long Russian
campaign has shaken the morale of
the Austro- Germans and has weak
ened their ability to withstand at
lacks. On the other hand, the war
office expects to show that fresh leVies
have filled the ranks of the cars
armies and that adequate supplies of
ammunition are now enroute to the
front

Won PAPEN MUST GO
L. S. to Demand His Recall If He Is
Not Voluntarily Withdrawn.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Unless Cap
tain Won Papen, the German military
attache, is voluntarily Withdrawn by
his government, indications today are
that within a short time the United
States will require his recall.
All the papers carried by James F.
]. Archibald, the American CORE
spondent involved in the case of DIR.
Dumba, have now been placed before
state department officials, and while
final decision will await the return of
Secretary Lansing, it became known
that the documents disclose a trans
erosion of diplomatic prophecies on
Won Papen's part such as had caused
the recall of the Austrian ambassador.

COURT ACTION AFTER MEETING

Representatives of independent re-
flleries will come tic Topeka Monday
to discuss gasoline prices and the
state oil inspection suit now pending
IN the supreme court. The oil men
will confer with s. NJ. Brewster, at
torney general, concerning questions
now confronting oil producers.
For more than a month the lnde-
pendent refiners have been busy lSsu-
ing complaints concerning the sins of
the Standard Oil company. The
Standard boosted the rates of crude oil
but held refinery rates stationery
The Independents held out as long as
possible, then raised their refinery
rates. Complaints were made to the
attorney general and it was charged
that the Standard was violating pro
visions of the anti-diScriminatlon act.
The conference is now definitely set
for next Monday and it is probable
that a number of producers and repre-
sentatives of independent ref1nerles
will come to Topeka for the meeting

Not until after the conference with
the gas men will the attorney genefafS
office take action in the case. Repre-

TELLS HOW PULLMAN co: is
WATCHING UNION MEN

Commissioner A. B. Garretson Of
the U. S. industrial relations body
asked this question of H. L. Seaweu,
a former Pullman conductor, at the
hearing in the Hotel Sherman yes
terday:
''You believe Pullman Co. conduc-
tors are now making the same fight
for the right of organization as that
made by railroad trainmen many
years ago." Yes
"And the Pullman Co. keeps spot
tiers and discharges men and main
tains a blacklist with view of pre-
venting organization among the con-
ductors?" Eyes"
Seawell said he worked for the
company three years previous to
March, 1912. His mileage was 10,580
a month most of this time, though
one year he averaged 1888 miles a
month.

Seawell. "The federation had not

can't find out why he is out. The
causes of discharges are dishonesty,

81 was one of the first signers of
a petition for higher wages. The pc
tition was signed by rs per cent of
the employees. 1t was mailed to Pres.

about it. The men active in circulat

John T. Bourke, gateman, North

ductor five years. False charges were
brought against him by two women,
he stated.

TheGirlHe HeLeft
 Behind Him
By F. A. NilTCHEL

John Hobbs was a Yorkshireman, born on his fathers farm, worked on his fathers farm and was cOntented on his fathers farm. He had received only a few years schooling, but he was q bit of a philosopher in his own way. He was engaged to be married to Ellen Brierly and expected to tn- herlt her fathers farm and live and die there. Ellen was q high strung, emotional girl and when the war with Germany broke out insisted that John should enlist.
 What for2" asked John.
 "Why, all the men are enlisting."
 "It seems to me, If that's so, some one 'ad better stay 'Ome and do the farmin'."
 But think of the excitement of gC- Ing off to the war with the flags flying, the drums beating and the band play ing The Girl l Left Behind Me?"
 And hobblln' back singin' the leg l left beind me.
 John, I'm afraid you're q coward" ]"
 John looked at her, leaning on the snade with which he had been dig ging, then threw it down and said:
 "I cant stand that from the girl love. I'm goin' to enlist"
 Forgive me-" s"'d Ellen, throwing her arms about him. "I knew you weren't afraid to go to the war. thought you needed little prodding.
 I'm goin' to war to please you. don't believe in wars. The fellers that go either don't come back or, If they do. they find the excitement all over and people talbin about somethin' else, They don't cut no figure at all. The fellers that stayed at 'ome has got the jobs, and the soldier as to git Twin the best way e can"
 Don't fear for that, Johnny, dear I'll be ere to welcome you back, and if you are maimed I'll take care of you for the rest of your life"
 She kissed him and potted him to make him feel better about the sacri- flee he was making, but Johnny refus- ed to be comfortcd. However, he went to the nearest recruiting station and enlisted. When he marched away with the regimcutul band playing "The Girl l Left Behind Me" Ellen stood by the roadside waving her handkerchief at him, her eyes bcdlmmed with tears.
 One day, the better part of year later, discharged soldier, walking along a roHd in Yorkshire on one flesh leg and wooden one. met a man with hoe on his shoulder.
