Judge johnson practically had

and agree on a date for the trials of
the cases Attorney Page said he was
undecided at this time whether he
would ask for change of venue from

CLOSE IN ON GERMANS
Allies Hem in e. Africa Troops-Bel-
gians Pursue Teutons.

London, July Fisherman troops in
German East Africa attempted to
make a stand last week against the
allied forces which are gradually clos
ing in on them. An official statement
issued here today says heavy fighting
took place in which the Germans suf-
fered large losses.
The announcement follows:
ION July IT, the enemy evacuated
Mount Shakama. A portion of his
forces retreated southwest toward
Likawage and the main body fell back
on Narongombe. Turnout the 18th
and 18th our columns pressed the re-
firing enemy in a most difficult coun-
try capturing a few prisoners and &C.
cupying ridge two miles north of
Narongombe by nightfall on the 18th.
"OE the 18th the main enemy posi-
lions in the vicinity of Narongombe
were attacked. Severe fighting ensued,
the enemy offering most stubborn re-
sistance and making numerous count
err attacks, in the course of which, it
is ascertained from prisoners. he sus-
tanned heavy losses. Our casualties
also were considerable.
I'm the Rufiji area the enemy evac-
uated Kitope, our columns having
driven his rear guard towards Medaba
on the 21st. In the Songea area the
enemy continued his retreat toward
Mahenge, offering slight resistance to
our pursuing forces. In the northern
area a small German column report
ed in the Sonic district west of Lake
Natron, is now moving south thru
Engaruka pursued by Belgian columns
from Ikoma"

DRILL TUESDAY NIGHT
Original Home Guard Company Is
Busy Getting Recruits.

The Topeka home guard company
will drill Tuesday evening, as usual,
at 1880 O'Clock at the north steps OF
the state house. Remember. this is
the original company, organized last
spring by Arthur Hargis, and must not
be confused with the Shawnee home
guards, colored company, started a
few weeks ago. and which meets on a
different night at the same place
At last Thursdays meeting of the
Topeka home guard, the company was
divided into two membership teams,
the captains of which are Tom c.
Powell and Arthur Hardy. A vigor-
Gus recruiting campaign is now being
carried on, and both team captains
have already reported many new
members 1t is hoped to bring the
organization to battalion size before
the middle of August
It was also determined at the last
meeting to make Thursday night the
second drill night of the week in
stead of Friday, as Thursday seemed
to be more convenient for most of the
men. 5.-.1 1
: The national guard will be called
to the colors on August 5, after which
there will be only the city police and
the county sheriffs forces to deal with
any disturbances that may arise. 1t
is therefore imperative that a disci-
plined force be quickly recruited,
which shall be amply large enough to
IquelI any disorder, and which will be
available when necessary, for the
guarding of valuable public or private
property.
Membership in such a force will
give to many a man in the prime OF
| life who is eager to service his coun-
try, but who is over 80 years old, OF
who has some slight physical disa bill
ltity that prevents him from entering
the army just the opportunity he de-
sires.
For guard duty or for quelling riots
men of mature judgment and cool
heads are always preferred.
But the young men are wanted also
Those among them who have escaped
the first draft are sure to be taken on
the second call, and every atom OF
military knowledge they can acquire
beforehand will be of that much as
sistance to themselves and value to
their co Intry. 1t takes less time to
prepare a partly trained recruit than
it does one who has no military
knowledge at all.

SHOW AT ORPHEUM
Wheat Film VIII Be Presented in
Topeka, Thursday Night.

A Kansas parable of the sower who
went forth to SOW has been madc into
a moving picture play and the actors
are all real Kansas farmers, not the
whiskered caricatures found in every
so-called rural drama. Their actions
are perfectly natural, for they know
the difference getween a silo and
separator. No farmer can go away
from this picture show with the dis
guested saying that it doesn't look
like the real thing.
Did you ever eat a mid-afternoon
lunch in the harvest field? That is
one of the things shown and it is
really artistic because it is SO perfectly
natural.
The photoplay has a love plot and
there is a touch of the military in it,
but the main theme is Winning 18th
Wheat" which serves as a title.
A young man gets interested in the
appeal of the Kansas council of de-
Tense for more and better wheat, and
tries to get his father to get into the
game. The old man ridicules the idea,
but allows his son to try out his fool
rotions." The son raises thirty-siX
bushels of wheat per acre to his faith
er's fifteen and he marries the girl
and all goes well. But there is SO
much to it that you'll have to see it.
Tt has all the modern tricks of NOV
ing pictures, fade-outs, close-ups dis
solving views and beautiful Kansas
scenery with everything real, from the
horses pulling the binder to the cat on
the front steps. Competent critics
who have seen it say that it is better
than many of the standard produc-
lions. It's a real story with real facts
for a plot and it is intensely interest
ing.
The wheat film will be shown at To-
peka on July rs, at Sis p. m. with
out admission charges. thru the kind
ress and patriotism of Or2heum The

TRY MASSACRE COssACKs.
Plot to Annihilate Force Set Up in
Petrograd by Mutineers.

Petrograd, July ga Cossack
commander, in describing an attack
of mutineers on his men who were
escorting to Tauride palace, said to-
day that the Cossacks stopped and
disarmed several parties. but that
subsequently fire was suddenly open
ed on them by. machine guns of the
First Machine Gun regiment. Stimuli
taneously, the mutineers fired from
barges in the river and from windows
and roofs of adjoining houses. AS the
advanced guard was galloping across
Liginy Prospect, fire was poured in
on them from their right flank.
The order to retire was given. Many
pulled up their horses sharply and fell
en- the slippery mud. The command
er ordered the men to scatter but they
were exposed to n hot fire. MuGreers
began to bayonet fallen Cossacks.
A young ensign who headed a
charge to rescue the Cossacks drew
fire on himself and was badly wound
ed in the arm and shoulder. He or
dered the men to mount and charge
the mutineers, who were gradually
closing on them. Part of the Cos
sacks broke thru unhurt.

bullish crop outlook in North Dakota and

2.56 July and $2.29 September the market
scored further gains.
Later the September option advanced to

vous. 3sc to 1sc net higher at $1.63%

Heavy rains that interfered with harvest
ing carried the oats market up grade.
There was much talk of prospective abnor-
mally large substitution of oats for corn.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted provis-
ions. Arrivals of hogs at Western points
were far less numerous than the COR
responding day last week.
The fact that the decrease in the L. S.
visible supply total was small did not lead
to any important bearish reaction. The
close was unsettled, 3Ac to 4c net higher
with July at 2.59 and SCep. at $2.311a.
