attacked M. Malvy, minister of the in
terror accusing him of leglecting to
take necessary measures against these
persons

revolutionists had preached the or
ganization in France of a soldiers and
workmen's committee similar to that
CT Russia. He attributed rare man
ifeStationS of discomfort to that Prop
uganda and asked why measures had
not been taken to suppress it.

did not offer more heads of culprits
it was nevertheless effective.

could not be held responsible fol the
sction of anti-patriots who slip in

With the British Armies in the

vousness with which the Prussians
are trying to find out what Field Mar
shall Haig is preparing for them
The complacency with which Ger
man Chancellor Michaelis announced
his satisfaction with all things mill
tary is not apparent today on the west
front.
The curiosity of Boche planes is
just one indication of deep rooted
apprehension that Haig is preparing
another stroke. Just where this may
come is worrying the Germans
Big Guns Busy, But Blind.
All along the west front the Ger
mans are lavishly using up their shells.
Barrage fire starts at the slightest
movement the British trenches. Big
gun shells Systematically but blindly
search out supposed depots back of
the lines. Particular apprehension is
shown among the sand dunes on the
Belgian coast, where Germany re-
Gently won a gain. But the same ap-
prehension shows in no neglect of fire
thru the Lens, Loos, Armentieres,
Wyschcete or Ypres sectors.
Every night the Germans attempt
raids. The fact that their losses in
these excursions are steady and large
does not deter them.
Prisoners related today that one
commander had ordered there would
be no further leave granted members
of his Bavarian division until his men
by raids had fully identified the Brit
ish troops opposite. One other COM
mander announced a reward of the
iron cross and fortnight's leave
with twenty marks as prize to any
patrol which would bring in a British
err. dead or alive.
Up in the air, the Boche planes
keep necessarily busy. There is the
co-ordinat ton of curiosity by artillery
infantry and air forces

RETAIL PRICE HIGH
Potatoes Sell in Topeka for Twice as
Much as Growers Receive.

Altho growers, according to the
oaily report of the federal markets
bureau. have stopped digging potatoes
in the Kaw valley because they are
unable to get more than 81 anc s1.15
a bushel from commission meE, the
retail price in Topeka continues to re-
main as high as S1.75 and 81 a BUSH
el. The federal market report says
the high price to growers at track by
commission men in the Kaw valley
district Saturday was $1.15 and ranged
Gown to 81. This means. of course,
that Topeka consumers who buy po-
totoes for 81 a bushel are paying a
price that is about double that paid
to the growers.
Thirty cars of potatoes were shipped
from the Kaw valley Saturday bring
ing the total shipments for the season
up to PAL cars.
Shipments Saturday from the Kaw
valley were destined to Texas, Okla
