British Army Headquarters in
France. Nov. 3o.-(By the Associated
Press. America engineers, the first
American troops to be engaged in
military operations on the British
front. took a prominent part in break
ing the Hindenburg line by General
RI,nR last week. Military necessity
has made it impossible to speak of
their presence before, but it is now
possible to inform the people of the
United States that engineers Of the
American army had a large part in
pushing up the vital railways behind
the advancing British soldiers. AS a
matter Of fact the American engineers
have been laboring on the roads
through the devasted battle fields of
the same district for nearly four
months and two of their men. who
were wounded were the first Ameri-
can casualties announced from WASH
The speed with which the lines have
been laid up through the broken Hin
denburg defenses during the past week
has called forth the highest praise
from the British authorities. The
Americans have been working in
shifts "a hours a day and no such
amount of track has been laid in
this region in so short time before.
The manner in which they stood up
under the strain has led to their be-
ing dubbed the Force Of American
Athletes" For these untiring SOL
diers are today as fit and as willing
as they were before the battle began.
Naturally the Americans for long
time have been working under the
range of enemy artillery and more
than once they have come under
heavy shell fire.
Tore up Miles of Track.
At one time the Germans cut loose
and tore up three miles of rails which
had been laid with much labor, but
they scarcely had finished their bonn
bardment when the twin lines of steel
began to creep forward once more.
After the engineers had reached a
point where they were exposed on the
skyline it was necessary to work at
night or on foggy days in order to
avoid enemy observation.
There have been three forces of
Americans employed in this region
since about August l. Two of them
have been occupied with the opera
ton and maintenance of light rail-
ways and the other has been con-
structing narrow gauge lines. The
Importance of their work hardly
needs emphasis for it is well known
that over these railways food, ammu-
milton and material of all sorts are
poured up to lend support to the
fighting forces. The correspondent
has visited many of these engineers
since their arrival and has found them
as fit as possible and eager for work.
Most of them undoubtedly look for
ward to the time when they will be
able to join the American forces but
bit and learn valuable lessons in mill

''DOHERTY IS THE GAS MOSES"
WEATHER FORECAST for Kansas:
w Fair tonight and Saturday. Cool
er in east tonight

Jay E. House, Mayor of Topeka, Kan,
and special writer, has the following to say
of the gas situation in his column:
Going to and fro upon the street cars
and faring forth, as we do now and anon,
into the busy marts of local commerce, we
hear much talk about the gas situation.
Most of the talk is based either upon mis-
information or ignorance of conditions.
Most of it is in criticism, either of the gas
company or of local authorities.
eve probably know as much about the
gas situation as anybody in Topeka. In the
past year or two we have taken some pains
to acquaint oursef with it.. We have at
tended half dozen conferences at which
all the divergent interests in the gas situa-
ton were represented, and we are familiar
with all of the claims and counter claims.
Here then, is our opinion of the gas sit
uation briefly expressed. You may take
it or leave it. The Henry L. Doherty Com
pany is spending somewhere between two
and three million dollars in an effort to ex-
tend the mains into producing territory.

OF December oats was on again Wednesday.
Export bids were scarce, altho it was said
to reports of business. Baltimore offered
to resell 100000 bushels here but found
no buyers.
More good corn is being received. This
is due to grain coming from sections that
were not shipping previously. Corn is com
ing from Omaha. Northern Iowa, South Da-
kota and Minnesota and showing better
quality Glucose interests are buying freely
and Distillers continue their liberal pur-
chases. taking the poorest as freely as last
week, but are paying better prices and max

Mr.. Doherty is one of the Wall Street
octopi and a shrewd. business man. If he
did not believe he could increase the sup
ply of gas he wouldn't be spending all that
money. Doherty is the Moses" of the
situation.
eff anybody can get more gas, Doherty
can. If Doherty can't get it the jig is up
and you might as well scrap" your gas
range.
1--WE have an idea the gas situation is go
ing to improve. There will be more gas
this winter than there was last. But there
won't be enough this year to supply the de-
mand for it. Probably there never will be
enough. But Doherty is in the business to
sell gas. And any time he is able to locate
a promising source of supply he'll spend
the necessary coin to push the nose of his
mains to it.
Meanwhile the supply of gas can not be
increased by ordinance, petition or criti-
cism. We offer that as a pronouncement.
And as we have hitherto intimated, you
may take it or leave it."
