The mercury early this afternoon
gave promise of reaching tbs highest
point of the year. At 2:30 o'clock it
was only a fraction of a degree below
the record mark of June 80 this year.
Indications. according to Mr. Flora,
pointed towards a raise of two or
three degrees yet TT afternoon. The
temperature for the day averaged IL
degrees above normal.
The wind was blowing IS miles an
hour from the south this afternoon
and gave relief to Topekans.
Slightly cooler weather is promised
by the official forecast for Topeka
for tonight and Tuesday, hut it will
be only slight, according to S. D.
Flora.
Sunday night was the cottest
night of the year. in Topeka. and the
hottest night since the asst part of
August last year The mercury
stayed above the IS mark all night
and Topekans fairly roasted in their
beds. A south b. eeze was the only
relief that the night gave.
Following is a table of the night
temperatures recorded at the weather
office of Topeka:.

on Belgian Front.

London. July 30.-The British
cruiser. Ariadne, of 1900 tons. has
been torpedoed and sunk according
to an official statement issued today
by the British admiralty.
Thirty-eight members Of the AFRAID
mes crew were killed by the explo-
sion. All the other sailors were saved
The Ariadne was an old British
cruiser, having been built IN 1898. she
was $50 feet long, 50 feet beam and
had a maximum draft OF u II feet
Her complement consisted OF 6E
officers and men. SHE carried Is six
inch guns. twelve 12-pounders and a
number of smaller guns She also was
equipped with two submerged 1S-inch
torpedo tubes.
Today's War Situation
Whatever military development
may be impending on the Belgian
front. the great artillery battle there
has not yet resulted in infantry move
mgnts of nportance. Today's Brit
ish official statement is colorless.
contrasting strongly with the recent
German official reports of unprece-
dentedly heavy gun fire in this area.
Color Is lent the assumption that
operations on notable scale are IN
prospect here, however, by official
accounts from London of intensive
aerial work in which Photographic
observations on a large scale have
been carried out The destruction OF
aircraft yesterday was heavy on both
sides thirty German machines being
dovvned and thirteen British ma
chimes being reported missing.
The French front likewise was de-
void last night of infantry activity
aside from raiding excursions.
The theory that the Germans nave
been engaged in an effort to mass
guns in sufficient numbers to meet
the British rain of fire on the Belgium
front seems to be borne out by to-
days Berlin statement. The British
have been influenced by the effective
ness of the German fire to the extent
that there was a let up yesterday in
the intensity of their bombardment,
it is declared.
The story from the Russian front
continues to be one of continued re-
progression on the part of the Russian
armies. The Austro-Ger advance
has reached the Bukowina boundary
toward the southern end of the field
of operations and is marching thru
the Suchawa valley towards Seletyn.
1t likewise has penetrated to the east
ward of the Moldavia valley
Further north the Russians appear
to be making a stand near the eastern
border of Galicia Of the Russian side
have pressed at several places across
the river Zebroz which forms the bor-
der line, but the Russians are holding
the heights to the east. There are
some indications that this may mark
the extent of the Austro-German ad-
ing Russian resistance and the danger
of a much further extension of the
Teutonic center without corresponding
advances on the flanks.

end of the week this step should be
accomplished all over the land.

As men came up for physical exam
ination, early reports indicated =
heavier percentage of exemptions
than anticipated.
AS result exemption boards have
been instructed to be especially care
full as to freeing men. Each indf-
vidual must be carefully vised and
there must be no favorftism.
There has been no change, how
ever, in the general plan of exempt-
ing those with dependant families or
those indispensable to industry vital
to prosecution OF the war
II is doubtful whether the first
army will be encamped before Octo-
Der /, as cantonment construction
started slowly.

that the circulation of the cour. plas-
