Washington, Sept. 12.-Whi1e
American soldiers at the front in
France stood ready with French and
British forces for what may prove the
greatest battle of the war, thirteen
million other Americans registered
today for military duty and gave the
most inspiring demonstration of
patriotism in the nations history
machinery by which the manpower OF
the country will be made available to
bring the war to a speedy and trium-
phant end. Out OF the tremendous
bulk of men who responded-with
every race and creed represented
there will come soon from camps at
home three millions or more fit for
warfare and eager to go overseas.
Spirit Shown Leaves No Doubt.
The spirit that moved the register
ing multitude brooks of no doubt
Men near the top age limit and boys
still in their teens marched under
flying flags, within sound of bands, to
the places in every part of the land
where their names were put down to
become part of Americas military es-
again was reflected in the known de-
sire of many not to claim deferment,
regardless of sacrifices at home which
had left officials to announce that
such claim was the patriotic duty of
every citizen entitled to make it.

it will pick those first to be called.

), Washington, Sept. l2.-"Keep par
tisanship out of the war and the war
out OF partisan policies. Let no po-
litical parties spend their time accus-
ing each other of disIoyalty when both

In this fashion, Chairman Will Hays
of the Republican national committee
today wrote Secretary Tumulty. deny
ing alleged reports that he had told
Republican chairmen in conclave. at
Chicago that the Democratic party
would accept even a compromise of
the war to assure reelection. s~s.=
What he said at Chicago. Hays de-
clared, was substantially as follows:
"Disloyalty charges give a totally
false impression to the enemy and
those who launch them are guilty in
that very act of the worst kind
OF disloyalty. Let US hitch up both
our great political horses and have
them both used. unhampered, freely
to pull this load, each striving to see
which can pull the harder"
The Republican chairman vigorously
attacked action of Democrats in Wis
consin, who, he said, postered the state
declaring vote for Joseph E. Davies
at the recent election there means
joy at Washington and gloom at Ber-
lin, while Davies defeat means
gloom at Washington and joy at Ber-
lin.'

number of men in charge OF draft
work in the state place the days state

ransement has been made for speeding
up the work and new registrants VIII

Millions of blanks have been sup
piled to local boards thru the office OIL
Charles S. Huffman. adutant general,

About Fair.
Jay B. Iden, the poet of the Ozarks,
who is a member of the editorial
staff of the Weekly Kansas City Star
has been in Topeka for the last two
days looking for feature stories for his
paper and spending much time trying
to make pictures of the Tractor
Girls"
Iden broke into the big league from
Rogers, Arkansas. and is partially a
Kansan, having gone TO Kansas City
from Larned, where he was connected
with the Tiller and Toiler. Hiy verse
has been widely printed thruout the
west and he is a regular contributor
to the Country Gentleman
This morning when the Salina
Tractor Girls failed to arrive Iden
sulked at his typewriter and refused
to go back to the fairgrounds How
ever, he allowed the muse to moo"
lows:
I've been down to Topeka
To the Grand Free Fair
And l kinda like the way they
Treat fel1er there.
They didn't ask me for no pass
But let me wander thru
The stables on level with
The high born moo COW moo.
1t kinder swells a feIler up
These days. I'll tell you what
To meet good shoats as equals and
To visit in their lot:
And down there to Topeka
They let me wander thru
The stables on a level
With the moo COW moo
They let me stroke a piece of pork
Worth nigh a thousand plunks,
And that fat shoat looked up at me
And grunted: IA Junk, aa-unk"
call that quite tribute
For me, the office goat,
To be treated as an equal
By thousand dollar shoat
And the moo COW mooed right at me
And a red hen cackIed out,
All seeming glad to have me
A-loafing there about.
Just think of me, a poet,
Allowed to wander thru
Them stables on a level
With the high born moo COW moo.

dope" HITS ARMY
Thousands !, of Drafted Men
Have Been Sent Home.
Officials Declare Drastic Action
Is Necessary.

Washington. Sept. 12.-Habitual
use Of morphine, cocaine, heroin, and
preparations containing other narcotic
drugs has increased rapidly in the
United States within the last two
years, and a drastic anti-narcotic
law must be enacted at this session
of congress to check the wholesale
spread of the habit. These are the
conclusions made public today by
special treasury investigating commit
tee. together with partial report on
the number OF drug addicts actually
under physicians treatment in the
states.
Army Seriously Affected.
The Investigations showed that thou
sands of drafted men have been dis
missed from military camps after it
was found they were drug addicts
and that this number included many
who systematically developed the
habit after being drafted in order to
insure their dismissal. This condition
is one reason given for the urgency
Of immediate remedial legislation.
The necessary measures already
have been embodied in the new reve-
nue. bill, the committee reported, pro-
viding for registration of manufactur-
ers and dealers in proprietary medi-
cines containing compounds of mar
cotic drugs as we'll as the pure drug.
The measure also would tax these
preparations, provide means of keep
ing track of the great quantities dis
Densed annually and stop the loop
holes thru which thousands of vio-
lators are said to escape under the
Harrison anti-narcotic act.
Million and a Half Dope Fiends.
Hundreds of agents of the internal
revenue bureau. acting for the investi-
eating committee, have reported de-
tailed information concerning con-
sumption of morphine, cocaine, heroin,
or medicines containing similar aka
loids. and on these reports is based
the estimate that at least 100000
persons in the United States are drug
addicts of whom 100000 are known
as such in their communities, and the
balance secret drug users. Some army
officers have been found to be habitual
users of morphine, and to have pur-
chased supplies to take to France with
them.
Peddled at Army Camps.
Soldiers in camp obtained narcotic
drugs illicitly from peddlers who loaf
about the outskirts of the camp. In
genious methods Of receiving it were
reported, including transmission in
pies, candy or cakes, saturating cor
respondence paper with a drug solu-
ton and sending packets inclosed in
knitted articles.

Ask for Rates!

Out of town persons coming to the
big Kansas Free Fair at Topeka this
week should ask for the special fair
rates from the station agent in their
town when purchasing transportation.
The rate allowed by the government is
fare and one-half for the round trip.
Solne of the station agents evidently
have not understood the order and are
falling to observe it. The rates are
effective from every station in Kan
sas to persons coming to the Free Fair
When you buy your ticket to Topeka
