our HEART RIGHT
Kansas Gave S3S, 900 in Cash to
Belgium.
Flour Sent Sufferers Is Valued
at 100000.

The Belgian relief committee, be-
fore beginning their spring campaign,
had their books audited by Will L.
Lemon, chief clerk to Jasper Kincaid,
the state accountant.
The report shows that Kansas con-
tributed .$38,02751 in cash. This
money, taken in since the beginning of
the campaign last November, was all
spent in Kansas for flour, wheat or
corn. 1t is estimated in Dunns Re-
view that Kansas sent approximately
100000 in flour and clothing to the
people of Belgium. 1t was reported
by the committee that approximately
$4,000 barrels of flour were sent by
this state.
The need, in Belgium, says the re-
port, is even more acute than before;
but the committee has harder task
before them than last winter. The
war is becoming comm onplace, and
the people are becoming a little bit
hardened to tales of hardship and suf-
fering. IT. rSS
Following is a statement given out
by Mr.. Dillon this morning:
1.-THE Belgian report given to the
press yesterday contained several as
sertions which, I believe, were not
sufficiently clear. For instance, with
regard to the amount of flour shipped
from Kansas The sreport was not
clear on this point, but that fact was
due to the double entries in the books.
The state sent the committee $27,-
721.44 up to January 10. Out of this
$3.50 barrels of flour were bought.
After that date the committee re-
oeived enough money to buy 2,100
barrels of flour. The counties, on their
own account, shipped 32,202 barrels,
and the milIers sent out 300 barrels,
so that Kansas actually shipped ap-
proXimately $4,000 barrels of flour to
the Belgians.
ct hope that when the war is ended
and our work for Belgium has passed
into history, that the executive com
mittee of the Kansas Belgian Relief
Fund will have enough money to print
a pamphlet report telling the story,
with all the figures, showing the fine
part Kansas took in the relief for
Belgium. CHAS. DILLON

Turks Take Advantage of q
LuH in BOmbardment.
They Set Up More Batteries
Along the DardaneIles.

London, March 26.-The Turks have
placed new batteries at the Darda-
ne1les. Taking advantage of the four
day 1ull in the operations of the allied
fleet, new guns have been mounted
at Erenkeui, six miles inside the strait
on the Asiatic shore and the Anglo
French warships are being heavily
Shelled. 49,
A hot fire came from Fort Kilid
Bahr and from Namaziek overlooking
the narrows entrance when the war
ships resumed the bombardment, ac-
cording to Athens dispatches today
The Turkish batteries at first replying
feebly, ceased altogether and then
broke out violently as a cruiser flo
t1lla moved into closer range Athens
dispatches expressed the belief that
the damage done by the warships on
March Is has been partially repaired
by the Turks.
The gale which drove Rear Admiral
De Robeck's squadron out to sea has
now entirely ceased. Ideal weather
prevails at the strait.
London newspapers today printed
more dispatches from Balkan sources
telling of panicky conditions in Con-
stantinople, but Berlin reported life
proceeding as usual in the Turkish
capital. One dispatch from Sofia said
that French and British residents of
Constantinople had been refused per-
mission to leave the city, the infer
ence being that they would be held
as hostages.

SECOND OF SERIES.
One Thousand Topeka Housewives in
Receipt of Unique Letter.

The second of the series of letters
prepared by the publicity committee
of the Topeka Commercial club under
Charles Dillon in the interests of the
campaign for the purchase of Topeka
made goods has been sent out to
1000 local housewives. On the inside
of the stationery used is a. printed list
of household goods manufactured in
Topeka.
The letter No. 2 reads. as follows:
Dear Madam: A member of the
Rotary club handed another member
SIS bill, not long ago, in payment for
goods. This bill, he stipulated, should
be spent only with members of the
club until, finally, it should return to
the first man giving it out. AS there
are rs members of the Rotary club it
isn't difficult to realize that this IS
bill has a total purchasing power
within the club of 1925!
WELL you inquire, what has this
to do with me?''
Much. You live in Topeka Your
family earns a living here, and very
naturally you wish to make 1t bigger
and better Topeka better place in
which to live. Isn't that your view
of it?
All right Every dime you spend
for Topeka Made" goods increases in
purchasing value as it goes from
pocket to pocket. Think of the mighty
work that dime or that dollar is doing
for the city-and for you'll You can't
evade the logic of this. It's common
sense.
Read the list on the back of this
letter-"Made in Topeka every item
there. Won't you ask for these goods
tomorrow when you go down town
shopping? You'll be helping the
town and yourself, too. Perhaps you'd
been doing this since our letter of last

remove the grain inspection depart
ment from Topeka to Kansas City,
Kan.
The present grain inspector was ap-
pointed by Governor Hodges in 1913.
For the first time in the history of the
department, the legislature was this
year relieved of the necessity of vot-
ing a deficiency appropriation for the
department. In fact Ross went one
better and turned into the state treas
ury a surplus of $4,000.
Ross is a member of the state Iegis-
lature from Rice county and was serv-
ing in the house at the time of his
appointment by Governor Hodges. He
is a Democrat.

Berlin. March 26.-How to take

ers OF war f eap{ug e1on oy co sne for
each man so pfennigs (15 cents) a
days an increasing problem with
which the authorities are wrestling
1t is estimated that the list of prlS-
cners including those captured in
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
latest victory in East Prussia, now
exceeds 100000 men. This involves
an expense for the mere feeding or
the captives of about 100000 day.
In every available way the men are
being put to work--on farms, on the
roads, in iron works and coal mines,
and in clearing and retaining vast
areas of marsh and moor land, prin-
cipally in the eastern part of the en-
pire.
Experience thus far has convinced
the Germans that the Russians are
far more available for this manual
labor than the English or the French.
One of the most important pieces
of work which the Russians are
being employed in ever larger mum
berS is the reclamation of nearly L.
600 hectares of unfruitful, waste land
along the Leba river from Lauenburg
to the Seba sea, adjacent to the Bay
of Danzig.
Already 5000 Russians, in two
camps, are at work draining the land
and instituting improvements that IN
clude irrigation, blowing and planting
of meadows.
Thousands of the soldiers captured
in the recent Hindenburg victory
were put to work at once clearing the
roads of snow and mud, and, so great
was the number employed that within
a short time the highways were pass
able everywhere in the rear of the
German army.
In the west of Germany where the
French and English prisoners are in
predominence various plans are under
way already for using the men in ag-
ricultural pursuits that crops may
be planted, cared for and harvested
at the earliest possible time.
