HOT SPELL is BROKEN


Continued from I'age Ones
for tonight in the northeast sections
of the state. But there is only
chance that Topeka will receive an
other rain. In the last twenty-four
hours scattered thundershowers were
recorded over the entire state. Wich-
tia reported .04 of an inch; Kansas
City .02; and lola 10. The south
east sections of the state reported
good rains Wednesday night.
The official forecast promises part
ly cloudy weather for tonight with
probable local thundershowers in the
northeast sections, fair and not much
change in temperature Friday. The
mercury stood at the 80 mark at nine
o'clock this morning and had risen
just 10 degrees by 2 o'clock. To-
night will be cool again, with tenn
peratures around the SIS point. Fri
day promises to have a maximum
temperature close to 95.
The highest temperature on record
for this date was 101, in 1890, and
the lowest 54, in 1889.
The moon will shine all night.

German Flyers Show No. Fight on
Front Guarded by American Birdmen.

Paris, Aug. 2.-Complete allied
mastery of the air has been achieved
on that section of the front where the
Lafayette escadrille of American air
fighters is located. Dispatches from
the squadron's headquarters today de-
clared on Monday the star fliels of
the Lafayette corps. including Captain
Thenault, Lieutenant Thaw, Lieuten-
ant Lufberry and Sergeants Rockwell,
Parsons and Willis, had flown dis
lance of twenty miles behind the Ger
man lines without even sighting an
enemy plane.
Most of their reconnaissance was
over German aviation fields but the
enemy declined to fight

out cessation since last night, filling
shell holes with water and turning the
ground into a deep mud over which 1t

guns, however, many of which had
been withdrawn to positions further
back before the rain began, have been
carrying on a steady bombardment
especially against the territory cap
tured by the allies on the northern
side of the Ypres salient but their
firing has been more or less erratic
because of the storm which blocked
the work of the observation officers.
AS usual the Germans are employing
great quantities of gas shells
All Wounded Cared For.
Due to the complete preparation
made for yesterdays assault, tn Brit
ish casualties have not been extensive
but the condition of the battle field
and statements by prisoners indicate
that the German losses were exceed
ingly heavy. The British medical
corps has again evinced a mos. COM
plete organization. AT s O'clock last
right all British wounded had been
collected and brought back to emer-
gency stations. More~than 1000 pris-
oners with some sixty officers were
taken by the British in the Ypres
salient alone.
Prussians, BavarianS and SaXonS all
have given of their number swell

in British prison stations since tie be-
ginning of the war. Particularly nos

non-commissioned officers and the

recruits.
