German military efficiency is dem
onstrated again by the successful raid
of a fleet of Zeppelins against English
towns Before the war, the news
from Germany indicated that the Yep
pelin airships were conspicuous only
for their failures. The conclusion is
inevitable, therefore, that the Ger
mans had their real Zeppelins as
cleverly concealed as their 42-centi-
meter guns.

Topeka was able to save no less
than $4,000 during the past year in
it's general revenue fund. And yet
there are some taxpayers who seem to
be anxious to go back to the old city
council plan, one of the major en-
beavers of which was to provide in
each succeeding tax levy for deficien-
cies that occurred in the city finances
during the previous year.

Honest Dupes of Charity Fakers.

From the St Louis Republic
We have high authority for the state
ment that real charity covers a multi
tude of sins. 1t is likewise true that
the mere word itself conceals n multi
tude of frauds. 1t is not a grateful
task 10 unmask pretenders who are
trading on the best instincts OF human
nature. but it is a very necessary one.
The Republic is pursuing it with the
intention of following up the exposure
of takers and frauds by an attempt to
secure the working out of a positive
and constructive plan which will aid
legitimate charitable effort and leave
the dishonest charity worker no
chance to practice his-or her-ne-
farious trade. We have nothing hut
reprobation for the leaders of these
abomina BILE movements. but we have
nothing but pity for their dupes. Many
of the assistants through which these
leaders have their wealth are people
of general good intention but without
power of independent thought or much
experience of the world. They do
what they are told without reflection.
Rightly guided they would do honest
work with their hands. They are un-
accustomed to plan for themselves.
They should be taken care of and di-
rected into work which they can do.
A newspaper cannot solve a problem
like this. We commend 1t to those
agencies lifted TO cope with II.

Peter Rabbit could not keep away
from the Green Forest. He just had
to go back to see those queer brown
babies which he had discovered under
a big tree on the bank OF the Laughing
Brook. Every chance he had he slipped
back to watch He kept As stfn a.
still could be and not once did those
little brown babies suspect that he
was near Every day they came out
to play. but at the least sound. they
would disappear in that snug homo,
the doorway of which was between the
roots of a big tree.
After a little, Peter discovered that
there was a school in the Green For
est, Just as there was a school at John
NY Chuck's home in the Old Orchard,
Mouse had his home on the Green
Meadows. You see. wherever there are
babies there has to be a school. This
is one Of the laws OF Old Mother Ma
ture Peter had been quite right whom
he had guessed that these babies ware
the children of Little Joe Otter. AZ
first they seemed to do nothing but
tumble over each other and play. It
was very rough play. the toughest play
that Peter had ever seen He didn't
brown babies were learning something.
but they were. They were learning
how to use their legs and teeth and
bodies.
At first. Peter had seen nothing Of
Little Joe Otter or Mrs. Joe. but he
noticed that at the least rustic Of .
leaf the two brown babies disappeared
in their home. and by this he knew
| that they had been taught that great
law of all the little wild people. which
is that safety is the first and most i'm
pOrtant lesson to be learned.
Then one morning he saw Mrs. Joe
out with the two babies. and they were
having a grand frolic. Mrs. Joe would
get hold of one end of stick and the
two little Offers would get hold of the
other end of the stick and try to pull Il
away from her. In this way they were
learning how to grow strong and to
take care of themselves. Then Mrs
Joe took them a little way into the
woods. 1t just happened that Reddy
Fox had been along that way the night
before. She showed them his tracks
and made them smell of them, and
| when she did this she growled. and
thus they knew that Reddy was an
enemy. to be watched out for.
Later right in the midst of one of
their grand frolics. Sammy Jay sud
denly began to scream. Peter knew
perfectly well what that scream meant.
He knew by the noise that Sammy had
discovered somebody prowling around
in the Green Forest. of course Mrs.
