One of Topeka's three 1917 circus
days started as early as o'clock this
morning when the 1000 wild animals

from the fair grounds at 1890 o'clock
this morning and paraded before
thousands of curious and eagcrTopeka

Special trips thru the animal arena
were conducted for the school chill
dren of the city this afternoon. Troop
after troop of Riddles and their moth
ers followed the guides and lecturers
around the animal zoo. 1t was the
first time of the year that tie children
had had an opportunity to hear of
the animals direct from expert train
ers. The gates at the grounds were
thrown open at 1 O'Clock this after
noon for hundreds or women and chill
dren.
One of the most interes ing acts of
the wild animal circus was the boxing
match and tight-rope walking staged
by two kangaroos. Knockout blows,
bound for the solar plexus. and upper
cuts were the strong points of the
boxers" Zebras for the first time
exhibited IN Topeka this year, put on
real show. A whole troop of the
animals danced about the ring, exhib-
iting at every turn. Trained elephants
and lions staged other interesting acts
of the program.

"Unmoved by possibility of material
advantage or conquest, patient amid
aggrayation and aggression, hoping
against hope until the last moment
that this madness of the Imperial
German government would pass away.
America has at last drawn her sword,
not only for her own rights, not only
for her existence, but for the exist
ence of freedom itself upon the earth,
and 1t will not be sheathed until VIC

Mr.. Daniels asserted that sin pre-
pairing for a large war the navy is
taking the surest means to bring
about an early and effective peace.
Let there be no fear that rumorS
of peace or possibilities of a cessation
of the struggle will cause us to remit

BATTLE OF BIG GUNS
Artillery Outnumbers Infantry In
French Verdun Drive.

Paris, Aug. 30.-The number of
artillerymen employed in the recent
operations in the Verdun region was
greater than the number of infantry
men put into the battle line.
The surprising fact is explained by
the correspondent of the Temps at
Verdun, as being due to the difficulty
of the gunners' tasks in addition to
the immense number of cannon.
Heavy shells had to be carried to
the guns for hours at a stretch by
men who were compelled to wear
masks which rendered breathing diff
ficult and INSTRUCTED their vision.
