TO USE FOOD TICKETS
Churchill Predicts Stringent Control
of British Food Supply.

London, Nov. 17.-CoIonel Winston
Churchill predicted in the house of
commons yesterday that before the
end of the war the government would
not only take over all British shipping
but that universal service would be
ordered, not only for the army but
for the general purpose of the war,
according to full reports of his ships
during the food debate which appear
in the papers today. The former first
lord of the admiralty also predicted
that it would be necessary to adopt
ration tickets for all essentials and
that prices would have to be fixed to
secure to the poorest classes the power
of buying a corn modicum of food. He
said that he was quite sure that ma
tional organization of agriculture was
inevitable.
I'VE need a great organization he
concluded, for producing munitions
of life just as we do for munitions OF
death"

JOINS I-TOLD-YO SOS
Talk of United Party Silly, Asserts
Emporia G. o. p. Harmony
Champion.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE
membership of the post-election Il
told-you-so Club" has been enhanced
by William Allen White. editor of the
Emporia Gazette, a national Progress
sive ex-leader and late booster of the
Hughes candidacy. (Soft pedal on
booster" however, some of his COL
leagues insist.)
White now claims that the fall of
Hughes was inevitable, that the G. o.
p. standard bearer wasn't. the man
for the job and that the prattle about
a united party is all silly-"The
Gazette said so during the campaign"
quoting a recent editorial from Mr..
Whites typewriter. He says:
'Hughes's job was too big for him.
1t was too big for any one on earth.
1t was to make speeches radical
enough to please the former Progress
sives and conservative enough to
please the regulars. The talk about a
united party was silly. The Gazette
said so during the campaign. And
we repeat it now with a sense of sat
isfaction.
Some day the Republican party
may be reunited. But it will never be
reunited on a harmony basis. Hughes
was essentially a harmony candidate,
and neither side had any enthusiasm
for him. When the Republican party
is reunited it will be reunited as the
same old radical party that it was
when it met the issues of slavery and
disunion in so. Imagine Lincoln hav-

CATCH CONvICTS HERE
Men Who Escaped From Federal Pen
Picked Up in Topeka.

Two escaped federal convicts were
captured in the Santa Fe yards Thurs
day night by Special Agent Gregg of
the Santa Fe and Officer Holman of
the Topeka police department. The
men captured are Charles Hendrick-
son from Alaska, and George Ebeling
from Kansas City, both of whom were
serving fifteen-year sentences for rob-
berry and both of whom escaped from
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth Monday.
The two convicts dropped off of an
incoming train about 1890 O'Clock
and the officers saw them. The con-
victs began running. Gregg caught
Ebeling and he surrendered without
fight. Hendrickson, So years old,
led Holman a long chase but he final
ly was caught. The two men were
armed with homemade dirks but
they did not attempt to use them.
Hendrickson and Ebeling were
placed in the Shawnee county Jail
over night and an officer will come
from the penitentiary for them. There
is a reward of 500 each for their
capture. They escaped from the fed
eral prison by scaling the wall sur
rounding the prison rock quarry. An
other prisoner, William Coleman, es-
capped with them, but he was captured
a few minutes after the escape.

On the eastern line in Russia the
Germans have taken up the offensive

however. that the Germans nowhere
have been able TO penetrate the Rus

The Italians and Austrians are con-
tinuing their operations along the
Austro-ltalian front. but no important
changes in positions have occurred.
The British in Mesopotamia have
captured an important Turkish posi-
tion at Umm-il-Henna, on the Tlgris
River twenty miles below Kut-el-
Amara. This victory is considered in
London as giving hope for the early
relief Of the British forces who have
been besieged in Kut-el-Amara since
last December. The Russians also are
successfully operating against the
Turks in he Caucasus and Persian
regions.
Berlin reports the loss during
March of fourteen German aeroplanes

machines. Thirty-eight of the latter
were brought to earth in air combats
according TO Berlin.

LAUNCH ATTACK AT BRITISH.

London.-NOt only have the Ger
mans been engaged in heavy fighting
with the French around Verdun, but
they have launched strong attack
against the new British positions near
ST. Eloi which lies few miles south
of Ypres, in an endeavor to regain
six hundred yards of trenches which
the British won from them ten days
ago.
French infantry stormed a section
of German trenches south of Fort
Douaumont, and i'm hand-to-hand fight
ing in underground passages drove
the foe back about 200 yards along a
front about 500 yards wide. The as
sault followed a period of intense pre-
paratory artillery fire and was pro-
tected from counter-attack by the
famous curtain OF fire.
The French forces carried a large
section OF the position north of Avo-
court known as the Bois Carre.
They succeeded also by their cur
tain of fire in preventing an assault
on the Cote du Poivre, to the east of
the Meuse. which the Germans had
subjected to long and intense bonn
bardment.
The Germans sustained tremendous
losses in men in the intense fighting
about the village of Haucourt.
There have been gains on both Ger.
man and French sides. The Germans
captured the village OF Haucourt,
which lies in the Avocourt-Bethin-

mans as an important strategic point

London.-The Bethincourt salient.
which for weeks had projected like a
wedge into the German lines north
west OF Verdun, has been evacuated
by the French
The evacuation was carried out un-
der cover of darkness and without
interference, and the French, through
the move, have been enabled TO
straighten out their line, which now
runs from the corner OF the Ayo-
court Wood to the south OF the cross
ing or the Bethin-C -Courtesnes and
rt-Chattancourt roads.
Violent attacks delivered by the Ger
mans against the new positions found
the French line unwavering, and all
ol them were repulsed, except be
