London.-German casualties from
the beginning of the war to the end
of September were 3.556,01S, accord
ing to an official British compilation
as given out here. The statement
says:
"A report compiled from German
official casualty lists shows the total
German casualties in September as
l796s4, bringing up the total since
the war from the same source to 81
5560lS"
The full text of the statement is
sued by the British official press bu-
reau follows:
German casualties exclusive OF cor
rections, reported in the month OF
September in German official casual
ty lists were: Dead. 32.2S2. Prison
ers and missing. 52,259 Wounded
1888 These added to those report
ed in previous months. including the
corrections reported in September, 20
tai since the war: Dead, $40, lS2.
Prisoners and missing. 1882, ,S29,
Wounded, 2,257,0O7. The figures in
cluded all the German nationali-
ties = Prussians. Bavarians. Saxons
and Wurttembergers. They did not
include the naval casualties or
casualties among the colonial troops.
1t should be noted that the figures do
not constitute an estimate by the
British authorities. They merely rep
resent the casualties announced in the
German official lists. Also that the
casualties are those reported during
the month of September and not re-
ported as having been incurred in
September"

right up to us as citizens of Topeka
and citizens of the United States, who
are staying at home to take care of
those who need help and need it
badly.
DO you know that there are ap-
proximately forty families in Topeka
who have been left without means of
support by the husband or providing
son by being called to arms for
the protection of our country?
They are not objects of charity
for their husbands and sons amply
provided for them before being called
to duty. Because the war depart
ment issued an order that all married
men could secure discharge upon fur
nishing affidavits that their families
were dependent, a great many people
were under. the impression that they
would return to their homes
But these married men have the
same patriotic sentiment, patriotic
feeling in their hearts, and If they
are willing to remain on the border
and take the training and discipline of
soldier in the regular army, and be
fully prepared for war in case they
are needed, we certainly should en-
courage this feeling by providing for
their families while they are on the
border.
Many people believe there will be
no war with Mexico, and in conse-
quence -he troops will be returned
shortly, so there will be no necessity
for raising funds for the dependents.
our best information is that the Kan
sas troops will be On the border all
winter, even though war be averted
and provision is now being made by
the government for winter clothing.
The government evidently is going to
give the national guard the full train
ing for actual service, in case it is
naedad

His big guns now are smashing the
German trenches on the Somme front.
From a newspaper point OF view II
is interesting to note that the German
newspapers received up to date nave
hidden from the German public the
news of the 1000 prisoners we nave
taken and q colossal number of thelr
killed and wounded. The German
public hypnotized and kept in 1gno-

Warming to America.
You Americans have been saying
John Bull is a slow starter, to which
1 would reply he is a long slayer.
Britain was as completely unprepared
for war in 1914 as you are in 1915.
The British empire realizes that this
is the beginning of a very long under
taking, but is confident that 1t has
made a splendidly successful start
Our supply of big guns and big shells
now is practically unlimited. How
bzd things are in Germany is conclu-
sively proved by the fact that the
German government dare not reveal
the facts to the German people.
In my opinion, Germany will fight
until we are we'll advanced on German
soil. Then. according to an American
friend of mine now in Berlin and
long a close student of their psychol-
ogy, they will collapse.

APPLE CROP SHORT
Condition Is rs Per Cent Below That
of Last Year.

Apple crop conditions are rs per
cent below the showing of a year ago.
That was the estimate today of o. F.
Whitney, secretary of the State Hor-
ticultural society.
The 1916 apple crop is spotted.
Whitney reports. Failure of the fruit
growers successfully to fight condi
tons have brought a report that the
apple crop will be short. In many in
stances where producers resorted to
spraying, they were unable to fight
the scab which attacked the trees.
Weather conditions have also tended
to iniure the trees and lessen the crop
outlook, Whitney reports.
