Get SLIGHT REST
There Are Fewer Hun Reserves
in Army Today.
And They Are Kept at Battle
More Often.

London, Nov. 1.-The serious con-
Citions of the German army must be
judged from the fact that whereas in
March of this year. the enemy had a
reserve of eighty fresh divisions and
that at that time divisions were, ex-
cept in very rare cases, never re-en-
gagged in battle without a full mont h s
rest and training, at tie present time
t"o number Of divisions in reserve has
fallen to fifty, only seven of which
have had as much as fortnight's rest
an" none have had a month";" writes
a military correspondent of the British
wireless service.
THE Germans, therefore, have not
single division in reserve which can
standards, while the average interval
nine days, thus entirely preventing the
sS stematic training and recovery of
troops. Not only, however, is the in
terval far too short to allow of the re-
C1rery of troops but they have to be
replaced in line without having been
brought up to strength, and cases have
actually occurred in the last fort
nj hit of German divisions reappearing
in line and being unable to muster
1000 rifles out of an establishment of
C,150 rifles, excluding machine gun
ners.
THE seriousness of such a situation
will be realized when it is remembered
that during the past six months rs
German divisions have been disband-
cd, while in the last four weeks five

have been transferred from Russia to

KILLING FROST HERE


the weather does not move from the
cast to the west but from the west to
the east. In the northwest today the
weather is clear and snappy. The
south wind which has been blowing
for number of hours reached Mon
tana this morning and will reduce the
temperature there, producing good
weather for this country.
No rain has been reported in the
last twenty-four hours between the
Rocky mountains and the Mississippi
river. Neither is there a prediction of
rain for this territory in the next
twenty-four hours. Snow was reported
this morning from various parts of
Michigan.
The temperature will rise, says
Flora, today and tonight. 1t will go
up to about so degrees this afternoon.
1t will not be so cold tonight as it
was Thursday night. The temperature
will go down to about 40 degrees. To-
morrow afternoon it will rise to about
so degrees. This will be warm con-
sidering that on Thursday the tenn
perature only rose as high as As de-
grees during the entire day.
The wind at 10 o'clock this morning
was blowing at rate of ten miles an
hour from the south. The extremes
on record for this date were 81 in 1883
and AZ in 1911.

CLOSED NEXT WEEK
Topeka Will Run No Risk of New
Outbreak of Flu.


Outbreak of Flu.
The city health officials. who have
delayed q decision on the raising of
the influenza restricting orders await
ing the reports as shown thruout the
week, have decided to continue the
closing order turnout next week.
According to DR.. H. L. Clark, 1ty
health officer this does not mean
that the order could not be released
earlier if conditions should prove to
warrant it but the chances are that
they will not be.
The local authorities base their de-
cision on the fact that as soon as the
order is released persons will rush to
shows, churches and political and 9TH
err meetings. 1t is estimated that one
infected person in such a crowd might
cause trouble. 1t is possible that the
epidemic might break again with re-
newed virulence.
Up until / o'clock on Thursday five
new cases were reported. At closing
time, o'clock Thursday, only four
more cases had been reported. A to-
tai of nine new cases for the entire
day is the lowest record of any day
since the authorities first organized to
fight the epidemic. Thirty-four re-
leases were reported for the day.
But they are still dying from the d.
sease. Anne Weigel, 522 East Gordon
street, died Thursday.
The greatest danger now is that
the disease. now. that conditions ap-
pear reassuring, will cease to observe
ordinary precautions.
An erroneous impression is current
in the city that when a person once
has influenza, he is immune. This
may prove source Of considerable
