Mister Warner. Mister Warner.
Have you really bought corner
In tho line Of modern poetry and rimef
Do you write both day and night
By sun and 'lectric light.
And have you got a cinch Father Tinof
Your pom much produces

To nken you to Joshua--in will
For although his folks were lighting
And you rfmes inditing.
You must. like him. be able to make old Sol sit

Or you surely could not write 'em.
But. while you do indite 'em.
Mister Warner. do not be hard on women
Do not twit our voting
Women can't be always counting.
For men. you know. arc scarce. (This is no
jokc.)
Then In little 'shopping"
Our weakness will be cropping
Out. Because we strive so hard to save dollar.
You do not know the feeling
So sweetly DER you stealing
When you save enough on socks to buy a collar.
Please do not call sassy-
I giddy lassie-
But soeer-minded woman with hair very
gray.
But love joke jolly
Away with melancholy
And dive something funny every day.
Keep your corner bright and glowing,
Both Wit and wisdom showing.
But when send some lines OF shine-or gloom
Be a sport and wait minute;
Set the typo and put in It:
Just stand aside and give your sister room!

Dividing Our Armies

M ANY people have seemed amazed at the
AVA possibility OF the United States sending
troops 10 Russia and Italy as we'll as TO France
possibility intimated by Senator Lewis of
! i!iinois IN speech upon the floor of the SEN
ate The confidential relationship between
/; the Senator and the administration has given
particular significance TO his remarks In
many matters OF delicate nature the Illinois
statesman has been the spokesman OF the
Fresice-t, and his associates have come to
regard his messages with peculiar interest.
1t Is not clear why there should be aston
lshment over a program which includes the
reinforcement Of the Russian and Italian
armies with men. We are devoting ourselves
ano our resources to strengthening both
forces with money, with munitions, with rail
road equipment and with coal. 1t would not
be rem arkable, therefore, II a few fghtine
DIVISIONS also were sent along. Their appear
ance On either the Italian or Russian front
might have enormous effect upon the morale
OF our allies. 1t is granted that the two weak
spots In the iron chain thrown about the
central powers are Russia and Italy and il
these links could be supported effectively by
american regiments, it would seem good
policy to divide our e1pedtionary forces
BESIDES, the French, British and Beleians
nave almost as many men in France az can
operate to advantage Their lines n, rese,vas
reach far behind the trenches and a million
Americans might be all the force needed for
the great final smash that is ahead of us. Tho
remaining million OF American troops might
be used with great effect on the Russian front
II IL Is assumed that the Japs will fail to take
ever any OF the eastern campaign. If the
| Japs should throw themselves into the fight
the American second army might be divided
between Italy and the Balkans
4hese are merely spcculations based upon
the vague suggestions which have emanated
from olNcial and scmiofficial sources II vel,

country ana Austria will be at end. More

our relations with Bulgaria and Turkey. Wo

| or these three countries. but the line betyec

reasons for dividing armies in Eurone

TROUBLES OF HER OWN
No Chance for China to Enter War
Against Germany.

July ~-v a0.-The complete
disruption of China by, first, the eff
fort to restore the monarchy and,
now, by the revolution in with two
separate republics are being SET up,
has removed all chance of a dsclara-
ton of war on Germany at this. time.
The division of the country is grow
ing. News comes that separate gov
eminent is being set up in Canton, al
tho there is some opposition to it in
high councils there
It is learned definitely that the
United States is not in any wav urg-
ing China to enter the war, as had
been reported. America has mace no
move since her original words CT ad-
vice to the warning factions to get to-
gether which caused such an unpopu-
lar impression in Japan.
The government here is faced by a
serious financial situation, the out
come of which no one is able Ito
judge The finance minister is trying
desperately to devise schemes for
raising loan, but Japan appears to
be the only country where money can
be obtained and the terms offered by
Toxic are very high.
There is no parliament and the
prospects of converting one are poor
owing to the troubles in the south
Until such a parliament is assembled
there can be no declaration of war.

at 1T East Sixth street. Then, -ater
the need of a still larger building
became pressing and on July 16, 1917,
the big, new store at Seventh and
Quincy streets was opened.
Tonight, there will be big open
ing modelled along lines of openings
of large mercantile stores in cities.
During the week there will be pure
food demonstrations galore, making
the entire week truly an opening
week
The annual sales of the Dibble
stores amount to 100000, estimated
at one-sixth of the city's grocery bus
mess. The Dibbles employ seventy
persons; have eleven telephone trunk
lines; four visiting solicitors; fourteen
delivery wagons and one truck.
The second floor of the new store
is used entirely for storage purposes.
In the basement there is considerable
storage. also, with the big mmonia-
brine system of refrigeration, costing
$2.700 and $500 added for cork in
sulation. Large combination compart-
ments in the basement furnish ice cold
storage places for meats, fruits and
vegetables.
On the main floor are three refrig
orator cases for meats in addition to
a big refrigerator room and one big
wall butter box. The show cases and
other arrangements on the first floor
vie successfully with those in any store
in the country.

Formal Opening Of Big Institu-

A fitting monument to thirty years
of successful business is the big. new
grocery store of the Dibble Grocery
company at Sixth and Quincy streets.
Thirty years ago. the late D. w. Dib-
BILE, father of Ivan w. Dibble and D.
M Dibble, present proprietors, opened
small store North Santa Fe in
the 1900 block.
The original Dibble store met with
many hardships and finally was
driven into the South side by the high
water of 1903. The store was moved
to III East Sixth street, altho later
another North Topeka store was
opened. Later one store after another
was founded until there were four
Economy markets established in To-
peka.
Four years after the flood had
driven the Dibble store out of North
Topeka a new building was erected

Roosevelt Hospital Field Unit L
Ready for Service at Front.

American Base in France, July 80
1.-The Roosevelt hos
pitaFs field unit has arrived in the
war area.
The American doctors and nurses
were completely surprised when three
of the correspondents attached to the
Pershing expedition visited their
camp. They did not know there was
an American soldier within hundreds
of miles, so well kept had been the
secrecy of the location of the mp
and the movement of the troops
There is a big staff of surgeons
and nurses attached to the unit and
they are already fraternizing with the
soldiers. Nightly concerts are to be
held at the hotel in a village near
the base.
These concerts and dances. altho
held almost within the rumble of the
guns, are expected to be as gay as
any event in the Baltimore in New
York or the Willard in Washington.
The camp is enjoying the best of
health and is looking forward eagerly
to diversion.

WANT HOME GUARDS
Many Cities and Towns Over Kansas
Organizing.

Organization of home guard units
is attracting considerable interest and
attention in towns and cities in Kan
sas. This is shown by the large num-
Der of inquiries which are being re-
ceived at the office of the adiutant
general of the Kansas National Guard.
Altho the organization is not related
to the national guard in any way, it
was explained, much of the literature
concerning the home guard is being
sent out from the office of the adju-
tant general.
Nearly hundred Kansas towns
have requested copies of home guard
bylaws, regulations and supplies and
enrolment cards. Many more in
quiries are being received each day,
showing the movement is spreading.
The home guard is an organization
under bylaws drawn up by a COM
mittee designated by Governor Cap
per. The bylaws were approved by
the governor June 5, 1917. The or
ganization is of civilian nature and
has no connection with the military
service of the state of Kansas or of
the United States. The object CT the
organization is given in the bylaws
as follows:
1.-THE object shall be to promote,
develop and foster loyaIty and patriot
ism for flag and country; to furnish
elementary military knowledge to its
members for the purpose of enabling
them to render service in defense of
the country if called upon to do SO !;
to aid and assist in the federal mill
tary service, and to raise and distrib-
Ute funds for these purposes"
Every loyal male person of 1 ) years
of age and over. who is citizen of
the United States or has made legal
declaration of intention to bee. me a
citizen, is eligible to membership

MAN
FRUSTRATED
Armed Robber Meets Ig-
norabe Defeat at Hands Of
Unarmed Station Man
Especial to The caledonian.,

Norwich, VT, Oct. 30-An unsuc-
cessful attempt to hold up and rob
the Norwich railroad station here to-
night caused much excitement in this
neighborhood. Abodt 11.30 o'clock a
man, described as being about "a
years of age, entered the station and
called upon the telegraph operator to
throw up his hands. The operator
complied with this demand. Watch
ing his opportunity the operator
rushed his -captor and a rough and
tumble fight followed in. which the
railroad man was successful in throw
ing his opponent to the floor. s
The holdup man, however, had nor
lost his hold on the revolver, and.
pressing it against the station agents
body demanded to be let up. 1t was
agreed that he should be let off the
floor if he would drop his gun. This
he did, and. getting, up, turned and
fled into the darkness. Searchers arc
now on the mans trail and his cap
ture is thought to be only a. matter
of hours.
