Shawnee County Votes $4,000
Bonds for Hospital.
Only One Observation-Disclosures
Failed To Favor Measure.

Results of the primaries in both To-
peka and Shawnee county leave little
doubt of the early construction of the
proposed home for the aged. No Of
fetal figures were obtainable today on
the outcome of the election tho county
employees in the clerks office said to-
day that but one township in the coun-
ty had defeated the proposed bond is
sue Valencia township was the one
which voted that the bonds be not is
sued.
The plan of the erection of SAM
tary and comfortable home for the
aged was taken up by the Topeka Ro-
tary club at the instance of Rotarian
County Commissioner Henry w. Nc
Afee The proposition has absorbed
practically the entire interest OF the
club since it was first broached as a
need OF the county at meeting OF the
club last winter.
According to the plans of the coun-
tv commissioners the new home for
the aged, assured thru the overwheir1-
ing vote of the people in favor OF
$4,000 bond issue. will be erected
either at a site south of the ShInga-
nunga creek in the fair ground prop
erty or on the site of the present poor
farm 1t is thought that the fair
grounds site will be favored as it Of
fers much more in the way OF mod

office to the crowds below. In addi-
ton to the vocal reports the State
Journal maintained a corps of men
and women who did nothing but post
the results in the windows of the Of
flee and on the big special bulletin
erected in front of the building for the
posting of the more important results.
In the effort to make the election
returns as plain and understandable
as possible to the watching crowds,
Harry Smith, manager of the Iris thea
ter, was called upon to install a spe-
cia1 stereopticon machine in the State
Journal office. This machine, oper-
ated by Smith, was used turnout the
evening flashing the returns on the
big front windows.
From o'clock in the evening until
after IL o'clock the State Journal
force was busy giving the election re-
turns to the steady crowd which
blocked the street in front OF the
building. But the crowd was not as
large or with the enthusiasm of
crowds in other elections.
Prominent in the crowd were the
candidates themselves, and their
henchmen and managers. who took
advantage of the facilities offered by
the paper for getting the accura ,e re-
turns of the precinct vote in the short
est possible space of time.

FOCH'S DRIVE MOST BRILLIANT
Lloyd George Gives High
Praise to General.
Britain Has Raised 6,25O,OOO
Men Since August, 1914.

London. Aug. Mr.. Lloyd George
stated that during the month of July
305,O00 American troops had been
brought over, 1856, 900 of them on Brit
ism ships.
FOch's Brilliant Counter Blow.
General Foch, by his counter stroke,
had driven the enemy back and altho
the danger was not over. He would
be sanguiTie man on the German
general staff who would now predict
that Germany could obtain a military
victory" said Premier Lloyd George
today. The premier characterized
General Foch's counter offensive as
"one of the most brilliant in the an
rails of the war"
The Germans, declared the premier,
had attempted their land offensive be-
cause the submarine offensive had
failed.
Britain Raises 6,25O,OOO.
Since August, 1914, including those
already. with the colors, Great Britain
alone, said the premier, had raised for
the army and navy 6,250,0O0 men, for
the most part voluntarily. The Do
minions had contributed 100000
men and India 100000 men,
One hundred and fifty German sub
marines have been destroyed, Mr..
Lloyd George announced; more than
half of them in the last year.
Until all the allies were defeated
at sea- MI LLOYD George declared,
Germany could never triumph. The
premier was speaking in the house of
commons, making a statement on the
war situation. The house will adjourn
tomorrow until October Is.
No Peace But Real Peace.
Mr.. Lloyd George, in abiding to the
subject of peace said the people who
had made the war were still in evil
dence and they could notN have peace
so long as they were predominant in
the councils of the enemy. Every one
wanted peace the premier added but
it must be a peace that was just and
durable-one with power behind it.
In further reference to the fighting
in France, the premier declared it was
too early to say the German effort has
been exhausted. The Germans still
had powerful forces in reserve, he
pointed out, but it was not too early to
sa. that the chance which they had on
March 81 would not again present
itself.
The American army, the premier
said, would soon be not far short of
tie German army itself.
