Field. Sept 27.-Very heavy German

forced the British to retire slightly in
the area of Hill No. 40, Immediately

again in German hands.
However. outside the town and
northeastward. the major portion of
the advances remain in control of the
British.
Further counter-attacks late today
won the German minor local posts in
the region of Winzig farm and Vale
house, but British troops in desper-
ate fighting wrested back some of
these points.

their lines and who, despite the fact
that they were without water, food or
additional supplies. nevertheless re-
fused to surrender and kept the Ger

HELD UP SCALES
Coal Plans of G. A. Porter Have Been
Frustrated.

Plans of G. A. Porter to Smash the
Hoxie coal trust have been frustrat-
ed by the refusal of the alleged trust
to permit Porter to use their scales
for weighing coal. Porter today asked
the state to interfere.
According to Porter's letter, two
HoXie coal dealers agreed on prices
So Porter volunteered to smash the
combination. He ordered a car of
coal which he proposed to sell at
prices far below those of the alleged
trust magnates. When the coal ar
rived, tho, Porter found that the two
coal dealers owned the only scales in
town. In order to dispose of his coal,
it was necessary to weigh the indi-
vidual loads. But the so-called trust
refused to weigh Porter's coal

BABY in court
Little Founding To Be De-
clared Abandoned Today.
Two Local Societies Want To
Take Her.

The baby that was found lying on
the roadside near Topeka last week
was in the limelight again this after
noon and there was quite bit of ex-
element in the office of Probate
Judge Cav when the appointed time
came for taking the first legal steps
in the case, these steps being to have
the little founding girl declared aban-
doned and officially placed in the
hands of responsible persons.
Miss Kate King, welfare worker of
the Foster Humane society, who has
been interested in the case and who
placed the baby in the hands of a pri-
waite family was present, to ask that
her society and Mrs Mary Anthony,
of the Topeka Orphans home, also
was present and stated that she would
like to have the little girl turned over
to her home.
No one except Miss King and Sheriff
Larimer has known where the baby
has been kept since it left the Lari-
mer home and this afternoon Miss
King refused to state who had it or
to tell who would bring it before the
court, despite the fact that it was eX-
pected to be brought in at any mo-
ment. This added an atmosphere of
mystery to the case that has already
caused more speculation and conjec-
turning than any case that has been
brought up for some time.
MARY AAtHOHy, Oh the TOPEKA
Orphans home, said she did not in
tend to make any big fight for the
baby, but that she would like to have
it and wanted to know why it was not
turned over to her organization to
start with, her organization being
esta blished to take over just such
cases.
Both Mrs. Anthony and Miss King
say they have dozens of applications
for the baby and as soon as it is Off
cially declared abandoned and placed
in the hands of one of these organiZa-
tions, adoption papers will be applied
for and the little miss will soon have
a good home provided, it is asserted
Mrs. Hpgh Larimer finally appeared
in court with the baby and Judge Cav
lost no time in taking up the case and
in placing the little girl in charge of
the Topeka Orphans home. Bennett
R. Wheeler, attorney for the Foster
Humane society, registered a protest
against turning the baby over to the
Topeka Orphans home, stating that it
was a reflection on the Foster society,
but Judge Cav said he thought the
usual custom should be followed in
the case and gave this as his reason
for giving the baby to the Orphans
home.

LOAF TO BE CHEAPER
Hoover VIII Announce Standard Sizes
and Prices Soon.

Washington. Sept. 27.-Reduction
of bread prices will be recommended

Hoover officially announced today.

advisers incline toward European
methods by which bread is marketed
at prices much lower than in, the
Unaed States. four pound loaf in
England sells for twenty cents or five
cents a pound over the counter. This
is made possible. however, by the
government selling wheat at cost or

INCREASE LIVESTOCK
Heavy immigration After War Will
Necessitate More Meat.

New Orleans, La. Sept. 27.-Women
in mems jobs in Europe after the war
will drive many men to America to
seek fortunes, George NJ. Rommel of
the United States bureau of animal
industry. declared today at the meet
ings of the Cut Over Land association.
He said this would rapidly make
immigration into this country as heavy
as before the war, cause a steadily
increasing population here and neces-
state huge meat supplies to feed
Americans at home as well as
Europeans abroad
Europe after the war, he predicted,
would want unprecedented quantities
of American meat and breeding stock.
To supply this demand, he urged that
millions of acres of former timber
land in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas and Texas be used for the animal
industry

AvERTED WAR PANIC
Federal Reserve System Saved BIZ nks
of U. S., Says GoebeI.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. az
Peace seems a long way off, but
whether it comes this year or next or
years hence, it will be unworthy the
name if it is not the peace of victory
President Peter w. Goebel of the
American Bankers association de-
clared today at the annual convention
of that organization.
ITO the victory we desire and are
going to have, we need not look with
a blush of shame. We desire no con-
quests of land or men. Now, as in
the past, we seek only freedom for
those enslaved and more freedom for
ourselveS-the right to go unmoleSt-

He declared that American bank
ing was solidly with the government
in the financial war. The next lib

more of a success than the first, be-
cause the nations war machinery is
working better.
The federal reserve system, he said,
had saved the nation from financial
panic in the war crisis.
Goebel emphasized that all wealth
came from the people and that money
for financing the war must all come
from the people. The only way they
can be in a position to supply it, he
declared, was by the practice of thrift
and by efficiency,

Is News to War Department.
Washington, Sept. 27-No report
on the separation of the marines regi-

command had been received by the
war or navy departments today, and
officials regarded it with some sur
prise.
1t was not interpreted, however, as
meaning that the marines are not to
see actual service at the 'front.' but
rather that the need for their services
in provost guard work in which they
are most proficient is at this time
more pressing.
The dispatch of the regiment of
200 marines to General Pershing'
forces was in keeping with the tradi
ton of First to fight the watch
