First Baptist church to outline their
work for the next year. A second
meeting will be called in August to
outline definite, steps for the program

Golden Belt Signs Are Being
Repainted Now.
A Perfect Surface From Topeka
to Fort Riley Soon.

Abilene, Kan, July 1.-Two fac
tors enter into a cross state highway
such clear marking that the tourist
feels sure he is on the right road and
a road surface that gives him
chance to pile up mileage.
The Golden Belt, which follows the
Kaw River from Kansas City to juno
ton City, the Smoky Hill to Western
Kansas and connects with the Colo
RADIO roads to Denver and Colorado
Springs at Kanorado on the state line,
has long made speciality of the
marking. Painters with cans of yell
low paint have just reprinted the
poles-every pole where available
from Abilene to Kansas City, compiet-
ing the work this week. Now they
will work west from Abilene until
they have put a fresh streak of yell
low over the whole 400 miles that Will
be a joy to the motorist-
From Salina east the route is a val
ley road with all the handicaps that
occur in unfavorable weather. but
with the advantage of reaching many
cities and the impetus of large popu-
lation to keep up road improvement.
Fort Riley Travel.
The great travel to Fort Riley has
made it a thickly travelled thorofare
for the last three months, and the
road is smoothed by thousands OF
tires. Thru the reservation, which
has been turned into a camp city, has
been poor travelling, but contracts
have been let for rock roads which
will eliminate that bad section. From
Kansas City to Bonner Springs is a
rock road, and all Shawnee county
and part of Pottawatomie have gravel
roads that are as nearly perfect as a
tourist can desire. junction City has
concrete road for some distance
west of that town, and Dickinson has
graveled four miles thru what once
was a sand hill road. Ellsworth
county, where one rises to the up
lands, has roads that look like a rail-
road right of way, making the Harker
hills speedway for the tourist, and
from there to the state line the up
lands of Western Kansas are always
a delight

In Wabaunsee- and Riley counties

FIRST ON SHORE
Marines Maintain Tradition in
French Expedition.
c. S. Destroyer Blows Up T.
Boat While Passing Over 1t.

An Atlantic Port, July 1.-The
marines were the first ashore" in
France. Also it was one of their
transports that the German subma-
rines fired on.
That the tradition of the marines
was fully lived up to in the landing
of Americas first expeditionary army
in France was learned here today
And with this came a first hand story
of one of the attacks on the American
transports and their conveys
The lookout on the marines trans
port could not see the submarines,
owing to the darkness. He distinctly
saw the wake of two torpedoes. how
ever, one passing the bow and the
other the stern of the ship. The de-
stroyers were in full cry after the
submarines but the guns aboard the
transport let go in the general direc-
ton in which the U-boats were be-
lieved to be. Then the destroyers
swung into the line and the transport
had to cease firing.
Charged on U-Boat.
One destroyer coming from Euro
pean waters which met the American
fleet reported her belief that she had
sunk a U-boat a few days before The
destroyer had answered the call of
one vessel in distress, when she heard
another. Then, only a short distance
away, a submarine was sighted The
destroyer put full steam on, charged
directly at the U-boat, passed over
the spot where submarine Owed and
as she did so let go a depth mine.
With the explosion of the mine vast
quantity of wreckage and oil came to
the surface, members of the crew
said. (This is probably the same in
cident reported by J. W. Pegler,
United Press staff correspondent,
from the flotilla base in British waters
sometime ago. The details are pre-
cisely the same.)
We guess some Heinies have
missed the iron Cross was the way
the destroyer crew expressed their
exploit to their fellow jackies.
In addition to the brush with SUBJ
marines enroute to France, men of
at least one of the transports believe
one U-boat was sighted on their re-
turn trip. The submarine7was consid-
cradle distance away. Shots were
fired at her but the U-boat Owed.

Edith Carter and Esther Hulvey,
two girls caught in a raid on the Sixth
Avenue hotel a week ago Saturday
night, were dismissed this morning in
a preliminary hearing before Acting
Judge John Addington in the court of
Topeka. The girls were charged
Jointly with the proprietor and others
with maintaining a disorderly house.
The section under which they were
charged stated that a person should
be found guilty under it, who either
owned or leased the house in which
the acts were committed Douglas
Mote and Ed Rooney, attorneys for
the girls, argued that the girls did not
rent or lease the hotel and were not
IN charge of it and Acting Judge
Addfngton sustained them in their
contention Dorothy Rupp, another
girl facing a similar charge, was
bound over to the district court. The

the same crime as the girls were
