MONTH OF MOISTURE
May Was a Favorable Period for All
Kansas Crops.

May, 1915, had more rainfall than
any other May Topeka has expert
enced in the past 10 years, and was
the wettest month of any name since
September, 1909, according to the de-
tailed summary of weather conditions
issued at the local office of the
weather bureau today.
1t was the fifth coolest May on
record and averaged only one degree
warmer than last April. From the
seventh to the sixteenth there were
more clear days in succession than Iii
any other May on record, and the
month ended with the greatest num-
Der of successive cloudy days for this
time of the year.
1t was a very favorable month for
all crops. There was no damage from
frosts or freezing weather and the
great amount of sunshine the first
half caused vegetation to grow rapid
ly, while the excessive rains the last
half soaked the ground more thor
oughly than it has been for several
years and stored moisture in the sub
soil that has been badly needed ever
since the drought of 1913.
The average temperature of the
month was 81 degrees, or 3 degrees
below normal. The highest tempera-
ture was 81 degrees on the 14th, and
the lowest, 40 degrees, on the 18TH
Neither of these extremes is unusual
for May
The rainfall amounted to 9.23
inches, or nearly double the May nor
NAL and more moisture than mas
fallen at Topeka in all the previous
months of 1915 combined.
The months sunshine was just
little deficient. Thirteen days We're
clear, 8 partly cloudy, and 10 cloudy.
Only five previous Mays have had
greater number of clear days and but
four have had more that We're cloudy
The average stage of the Kansas
river at Topeka this month has not
been exceeded since April. 1912, and
the stage of 1875 feet on the evening
of the 2Sth was the highest since No
vember, 1909, but no damage was
caused by any overflow.

GERMAN DRIVE
STILL UNCHECKED
ADVANCE CONTINUES TOWARD
WARSAW ALTHOUGH RESIST
ANCE GETTING STRONGER

There has been no halt so far
as official reports indicate in the
Teutonic drive now aimed at War
saw, having as a large motive the
infiction of crushing blow upon
the Russian armies. The Russians,
however, seem to be showing increas-
ing powers of resistance as the lines
of the attacking posts draw closer to
the Polish capital.
The latest official statements show
ed the Germans under the guns Of the
fortress at Newo Georgievsk, the key
to Warsaw on the north, only sixteen
miles from the city. Further north
the fortress Of Ostrolenka fell.
In the Baltic provinces an impress
sive German advance continued. The
campaign in this latter section is in
terpreted by military observers in the
capitals of the entente allies as pos
sibly intended to cut in on the Rus
sian lines of communication and pre-
vent a successful retreat Of their
armies from the Warsaw region.
Less speedy but none the less steady
is the Austro-German advance through
southern Poland. So far as reports
now show important communication
lines in the Lublin region have not
been pierced.
Continued advances by the Italians
in the Isonzo region are reported from
Rome, the most notable gain Of the
Ground being on the Corso Plateau.
The Austrian war Office, however, de-
MES that the invaders are making
pro"ress.
Little activity Of pronounced sort
is reDorted from the lines in France
and Belgium. There has been no
offcial reports for several days of the
campaign in the Dardanelles. ...
