LIKE WHITE FOLK!
That's the Way Soldiers Say
They Are Treated Here.
Chicken Dinner Served 500
Olive Drabs at Gage Sunday.

Too much chicken (fried) for 500
| soldiers sounds like a dream after "a
shot in the arm
Such was an actual fact Sunday
afternoon when Topeka again rallied
to the colors and supplied the 500 To-
peka soldiers with a chicken dinner
at Gage park The soldiers actually
groaned in their efforts to wipe the
chicken, salad, pie, cake, fruit, ice
cream laden tables clean. 1t just
couldn't be done. After The dinner
was over the big battery truck was
filled with delicacies left over.
Never did Topeka thru the Cham
Der of Commerce, respond so liberal
ly to an appeal as on Sunday when
it was announced that the city would
tender its last farewell to the soldiers.
Hundreds of Topeka housewives pre-
pared dinners that were gathered
early in the morning in automobiles
owned by members of the Chamber of
Commerce.
These dinners were spread on large
tables at the park. The soldiers ar
rived about 1880 o'clock in special
cars of the Topeka Railway company
furnished free of charge. Then fol-
lowed a campaign of humiliation such
as the allies would like to see the
Americans duplicate in France.
Prominent Men, Walters.
D. w. Mulvane, chairman of the
military committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, planning the feed, acted
as a waiter. He also passed cigars
around to the boys. c. B. Merriam
was another waiter, Horace Hall, an
other. Mayor House acted as official
coffee pourer and had much difficulty
eating a chicken leg with one hand
and endeavoring to fill coffee cups
with the other. Carey J. Wilson
stood at one table with a big branch
in his hand "shooing" away the flies.
Morton Albaugh, who had worked all
week, preparing for the feast, went
on a strike and sat down with his
family to one of the long tables.
Some of the soldiers ate with their
sweethearts. Others weren't so for
tunate. They merely ate but there
were girls in plenty to wait on them.
After Dinner Concerts.
Following the dinner the lads show
ed their appreciation by staging two
band concerts, one by the Third regi-
ment band, the other by the First
Kansas field artillery band. Paul
iment band, sang two solos which
drew thunderouS applause.
A number of soldiers gathered at
the street car station after the dinner,
waiting for girls, who had promised
to come out in the afternoon. They
were singing a song, line of which
ran as follows:
Goodbye Broadway, H e l o
France
Evidently they had soldiered in 9TH
er towns. Suddenly one exclaimed:
This is the best town 1 ever SOL
diered in. They treat you like white
folks in Topeka"

MEANS BOUGHT PISTOL
Business Adviser Purchased Revolver
for Woman Who Was Slain.

Concord, N. c., Sept 10.-The pis-
toll with which Mrs. Maude A. King,
wealthy Chicago woman is supposed
to have shot herself near here ten
days ago was purchased at a local
store ''at Mrs. Kings request and with
her own money" according to the
father of CASTOR Means, her conf
Dental secretary. Means said his son
purchased the revolver at Mrs. Kings
request.
The father, William NJ. Means, at
the same time, said his son was in no
way connected with Mrs. Kings death
and said that it was rather to Means
interest that Mrs. King lived.
1.-The death of Mrs. King deprives
my son of an immense fee from his
effort to establish the authenticity of
a second will of her first husband
which would have increased her
wealth by six million dollars. Pho
tographs and proofs of existence of
this second will are in Gaston'S pos
session." his father said.

MORE TRAINING
American Troops in France
Leave French Instructors.
e. s. Men VIII Receive Instruc-
tons From the British.
BY J. w. PEGLER.

Headquarters of the American Army
in France, Sept. 8.-America's first
contingent of troops is not going to get
into the battle line very soon.
Establishment today of new "spe-
ciaI' schools and the circulation I'M
officially of various hints, made it
clear that there is a lot of training
which the lads must yet undergo.
The Americans, having concluded a
training period with French poilus,
will now receive the best elements of
the British training system, from Brit
ishers as well as Americans who have
studied in British war schools.
New School for Officers.
A new school for American Off
GERS and non-coms was started apart
from the camp today. They will I'M
dergo an intensive study in trench
mortaring, bayoneting and machine
cunning. Eventually this and other
special schools will expand in size to
teach the officers who will in turn
transmit their knowledge to the fight
ers themselves.
The farewell of the Americans to
their French comrades of the past
weeks was a grave and affectionate
one. The French trainers had endear-
ed themselves to every one of the
Americans and they hated to see them
