TOPEKA MILK REPORT
Scores of Dealers for February Given
Out by Miss Nicoll.

A steady increase in the quality of
milk sold in Topeka both as regards
percentage of milk fat and lowness

fectiveness of the department of food
inspection of the city. The latest re-
port issued by Miss Annetta Nicoll.
head of the department. shows that
Topeka milk dealers have big
league average in the matter of clean
illness and quality of their milk.
The danger line" for the amount
of bacteria in a cubic centimeter of
milk has been set by the department
at 100000. None of the milk eX-
amined during February passed the
danger line. The milk sold by six
dealers had a bacterial count in eX-
cess of what it should have been con-
sidering the general GOODNESS of Feb
ruary, but it was still in the safety
zone" according to Miss NicolL

BATTLE OF BLIZZARD
French Advance Made in Teeth OF
snow Storm.

With the French Armies in the
Field, March lot was battle in
the blizzard by which French troops
wrested their victory from the Ger
mans in the Champagne. The full
extent of that victory, apparent today,
makes even more marvellous the fight
which the French troops waged, not
alone against the enemy, but against
the weather itself
A gale carrying binding snow and
freezing blasts blew in the faces of the
French soldiers as they attacked. Snow
covered all the ground except black
cash across Dead Mans land where
the white covering had been churned
up and the snow turned under by high
/ explosive shells.
Battle Lasted Half Hour.
When the infantry leaped from the
trenches in successive waves, they
We're silhouetted for an instant against
the snow white background of the
trench walls and then stepped forward
to be engulfed in the blackness of this
cash of churned up earth and snow.
Between bursting shells, clouds of
gas and smoke and swirling snow they
We're occasionally visible.
They pushed forward at a slow,
uniform pace, reserving their strength
for the final hand to hand conflict
tons.
Within a half hour they had won
their victory.
Continue to Advance.
Paris, March 10.-Violent fighting
occurred in the Champagne last
night in consequence of German at
tempt to recapture the ground won
by the French between Butte Du-
Mesnil and Maisons De Champagne.
Today's official statement says that
after several desperate charges had
/ been made with alternate advances
and retreats. the French succeeded in
holding all the ground they had gained
and in making fresh progress
On the Verdun front the Germans
attacked the trenches recaptured by
the French north of Caurieres Wood
They penetrated these positions at
some points but We're elected by a

NEW JAP FOOTHOLD
Will Ask China for Large Part of
Former German Colony.

Toxic, March 1O.-Baron Hayashi
japanese minister to China, does not
hesitate to make it plain that Japan
is preparing to ask China for a large
concession at Using Tau. the colony
wrested from Germany by Japanese
naval and military forces at the out
set of the great war.
Baron Hayashi is here to confer
with his government regarding the
Chinese situation
Japan can dispose of the Shan
tung railway without waiting for the
peace conference. and it is absurd to
doubt that this road will come under
Japan's influence" he told the news
paper men.
Other Nations May Want In.
Japan will also ask China to agree
to the establishment of a Japanese
concession at Using Tau 1t is nee
essary for us to secure a very large
area for this concession instead of
the small territories held in other
Chinese ports. In other words. ia
pan will get practically all the ad-
vantages of leased territory at Using
Tau, altho in name the former Ten
ton colony will not become Japanese
leased territory.
Whether other foreign countries
Will be permitted to establish settle
ments at Using Tau, as in other
Chinese ports, is a question which l
cannot discuss now"

The Car Situation.

Deplorable conditions in the building trades and other indus tries of the Northern and North Central states, owing to freight congestion and embargoes, are pic tured by a well-known lumber authority who recently returned from an extensive tour through Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mich igan, Illinois and Wisconsin.
 It is said, and l believe true, :" declared this gentleman, that there are about 35O,OOO loaded box cars at Atlantic ports and ter minals, backing up from those ter minals as far as Omaha and Min neapolis and, of course, that is the direct and immediate cause of the congestion. That stuff is largely for export. Of course, in the mix up there are quite a lot of domestic shipments. which got tangled up in the shuffle. This condition is practically paralyzing the domestic commerce of this country, which amounts to about thirty billion dol lars annually to take care of for egn commerce, which normally amounts to about two billion but which last year, the prenomenal year, was over five million. don't
