and the railroad that serves it and sup
plies the crown prince. After three
weeks OF fighting the French are
within a mile of it. They have won
more ground than at any other time
since the end of the German retreat
from the Marine; they have won their
greatest local success since the war OF
trenches began. If they take Sommepy
they can claim genuine victory.
But even this success would not give
the lie to the main German claim that
the French have not succeeded in pierre
ing the German line. They have al
ready forced it back by steady batter
ing. and a continuation of this forcing
for few weeks more would imperfl
the whole German position in France.
1t must be remembered that in thu:
modern battle it takes weeks instead Of
days to get decision. The enemYs
position is pounded to pieces by artil-
lery and his first line taken. But he
process must be repeated Indefinitely.
The only chance of success of the
old -fashined sort is that his ammuni-
ton fails and that he is unable to re-
place losses. Then a breach will be
made in his front. This happened at
the Luna1ec, when the Germans DEFEAT
ed the Russians.
This time has not yet come; the Ger
mans say that it will never come. The
allies believe that it is in sight and
point to the recent successes in Cham
weakening. But the proof must be
found in the later phases of the battle
of Champagne, which is still going on
with undiminished violence and with
no present sign of decisive French SUI
periority.

advance. Generally speaking this por-
ton of the Champagne is covered by
scattered thickets of pine and spruce,

natural features are the successive
ridges of relatively low hills, between
which small streams now down to the

Now. 1t was on one of these ridges
that the French had established them
selves in the terrific fighting of last
March, when a three weeks struggle

This ridge which the French held

stating that the Salt Lake firm in
tends to gather the enormous herd of
dairy cattle, and asked Mohler if he
could put Wesley King, manager of
the creamery company, in touch with
breeders and dairymen who could
supply the herd.
Here is an opportunity for those
who may have cows to SELL said
Mohler. And it is also a suggestion
of why Kansans should pay more at
tention to upbuilding their dairy herds
and breeding stock AS time passes
dairying is bound to become increas-
ingly more important, and Kansas
should be in position to meet the de-
mand for pure-breds and high-grades
that is sure to come from the west
and southwest in the future. as the
industry develops in those sections.
Kansas is logically located to get
this trade. Whether the business
comes to Kansas or not depends upon
whether the Kansas farmer and stock
man is prepared for it. 1t is an OPP
portunity that Kansas should grasp.
This means that breeders and others
must upbuild and maintain their
herds. To deplete our supplies by
selling off foundation stock now would
be shortsiShted- Now is the time to
carefully conserve the best animals
for breeding purposes. to be ready to
permanently participate in the big
business that seems to come from the
west and southwest for dairy stock.
Kansas should be prepared to get her
share of this. It~iS another avenue
to prosperity opened up to our stock

NO DEATH PENALTY
Kansas Still Has IA Prisoners
i'm Penitentiary Under Sem
tence TO Hang.
WON'T SIGN DEATH WARRANTS
No Governor Since 1870 Has Signed
Such a Paper-But Three Legal
Haneings in State.

The parole of Mollie Stewart from
the Kansas penitentiary last week by
Governor Capper leaves few death
prisoners" in that institution 1t re-
moved the only woman death prisoner
the state has had for many years No
governor since 1870 has signed a
death warrant.
When capital punishment was abol-
ished in Kansas in 1907 there were
hfty-six men in the prison under SEN
-tence of death Two more were add
ed when Mrs. Stewart and Frank
Schneck were sentenced. According
TO the reports of the governors office
there are fourteen men in the prison
still under death sentence.
The legislature was in session at
the time of the murder. A bill abolish
ing capital punishment had been in
troduced in the house. 1t had been
passed by the house and was ready
for consideration by the senate at the
time of the murder. 1t became a law
some weeks after the murder, but was
not retroactive and when Schranck
and Mrs. Stewart were found guilty
OF murder in the fire degree the court
was compelled to sentence both to
be hanged.
There were three legal hangings in
Kansas prior to the time this law
went into effect. These were hanging
under state authority and there were
numerous hangings under government
authority after that date, the last le-
gal hanging of any kind in Kansas
being in Wichita. November 81, 1888,
when two brothers were hanged
About that time the people of Kansas
began protesting against the hang
ings in a state which did not practice
this form of punishment and the pro
tests to the government officials be
came SO numerous and insistent that
orders were made to stop it.
