Quail Season Opens March 1, Keers
Open Indefinitely.

Abilene sportsmen, especially TIE
high school boys, who love to go out
after school in the winner time, have
coed things coming their way nov.
After March !, next, the birds may be
killed by Kansas sportsmen for an in
definite period under all existing stat
utes. The 1917 legislature passed a
bill keeping an indefinite closed sea-
son on the shooting of quail in the
state. Because of some error bill
purported to be the one passed by the
legislature, was sent to Governor
Capper for his signature. This bill,
signed by the governor, provided that
there should be an open season on the
birds from December l to rs. Then
someone questioned the bill and this
week s. NJ. Brewster, attorney gener-
a., ruled that the bill as published
and signed by the governor, was not
the one passed by the legislature and
therefore, was invalid Consequently
there is no open season on quail from
December ! to ID.

LITTLE BooTLEGGING NOW,
Search OF Trains and Federal Law
Prevent 1t.

J. c. Union: Less liquor is being
brought into Junction City now than
ever before, and bootlegging is prac-
tically wiped out of existence. A
security of the records shows only a
few arrests on liquor charges during
the past two months. Search of trains
BY civil and military officers and the
fact that transporting of liquor from
another state into Kansas Is now ca
federal offense have combined to cut
down the illegal sale of whiskey to a
minimum.

TO break the new British lines between

Again they have been hurled back with
heavy losses. The principal result Of
three bitter attacks by the enemy be
tween dawn and mid-afternoon has been
the mercilesS SCATTERING Of his ranks
and q still further advance over the
front south Of Polygon Wood by the
British.
The first assault was delivered at
6:15 o'clock this morning. The enemy
advanced in three waves toward the
British. but Immediately met with such
a fierce fire of rifles and artillery that
he was compelled TO retire. The big
British guns turned loose such an ava
lanche Of shells as is seldom seem along
the front
At $40 o'clock the Germans surged
forward once more and. as in the ear
lier attack. were turned back by the
intense fire from their opponents.
Meanwhile the British artillery was
hammering away with drumfre inten-
sity.
II seemed impossible that ANOTHER at
tempt would be made by the Germans
in the face of such hurricane Of
steel. but after considerable rest they
came forward one more. Again they
broke. and this time ran. with the Brit
ish in hot pursuit
The British did not pause until they
reached a point 100 yards in advance Of
their lines. whore they rested. and at

British Women Release
1850 Men for War
4,538,OOO Now Working in
Trades and Crafts Under
Government Jurisdiction

LONDON. Oct. 2.-One million two
hundred and ffty-six thousand women
are doing work in England to-day
which was done formerly by men, VINO
have Joined the army or been set free
for other forms OF war service. The
figures are from the latest official re-
port Of the industrial branch of the
Board of Trade.
Replacement Of men by women has
been most successful in government
services, in banking and in Transports
ton. In government establishments,
aside from the civil service and local
government, the number of women en- 20
ployed prior to the war was 1000; now
il is 10000. In the civil service and
local government women employees have
increased by $4,000 and $4,000 men
have been replaced.
The Board Of Trade reports show
that there are now 4,53S,000 women and
girls employed in the classified trades
under it's Jurisdiction. This does not
include domestic servants, women en-
ployed IN small workshops 90 women
employed on farms; nor does 1t in

Russians Hurl Back
Foe on Riga Front
Renewed Activity Hopeful
Sign That Kerensky Has
Overcome Obstacles

London, Oct. 1.-The Russians again
advanced to-day on the Riga front, this
tine driving back the German ad-
yanced posts for distance OF mile
south of the Kronenberg- Spi tai Groun-
dull region, near the River IA, in
Livonia. This movement. and the one
that preceded it yesterday, when the
Russians struck forward not quite as
far in the same sector, comes as an
answer to the statement OF haJor
Moraht, the German military critic. IN
to-day's "Tageszeitung": 81 believe we
are going to continue our advance at
Riga and Jacobstadt with energy and
success"
The activity Of the Russians in the
last two days, which aims at the ulti-
mate recapture of the Dvina line above
Riga and the removal of the present
threat against the fortress of Dvinsk,
indicates more than any other single
thing that the reorganization of the
Russian army has gone ahead with the
reorganization of its political situa-
ton.
Kcrcnsky appears TO have strength
ened his grip on all the various fac
lions in the country since the crisis
brought on by Korniloff was decided in
his favor.
The Russian armen have continued
their activity on the Southwestern
front, with excellent results. Yester
day, though at the cost of two Russian
machines, two German aeroplanes and
one captive balloon were brought to
the earth.
