The Preacher of Faith

\
He sat on a little pulpit
That was made of a twig of tree
And he preached as the happiest SER
mon,
That dubbed with sunshine and
glee.
His text was the blue sky burning
In the glory of all its sweet,
And his throne was the beauty OF
heaven
That lies at our very feet.
He was dressed in the softest feath-
ers,
And he sang as well as he spoke;
And in all seasons and weathers,
His duty was lifting the yoke;
Yes, lifting the yoke of our troubles
With the cheer of his comforting
word
This preacher of faith from the bushes
Where God had stationed the bird.
The Reverend Dominic Robin,
Apostle to me, and to all,
OF the golden gospel of beauty
The same as taught by St. Paul;
The gospel of Clearly living,
Of faith and trust and cheer,
Gentle and true and forgiving
With nothing to doubt or to fear.

Washington, Oct. 16.-An army of
about five million men. eighty divisions

program calls for. To prepare and
maintain it. the amount now proposed
is sought in addition to seventeen ana

General March appearing before the

effort for a definite maximum per-

'It is the best propaganda in the
world for Germany" he said. Be
cause they cannot keep their people
from knowing that the United States
is putting these billions of dollars in
to this war. 1t is a concrete. tangible
thing and is very important from that
standpoint. They know they are be-
coming impoverished. They know they
are getting down to bedrock and here
is a nation throwing it's whole strength

Spread of Disease Is Being
Checked, State Ofdcials Say.
Call for Doctors Sent to and
From Topeka.

The influenza is practically at a
standstill in Kansas, according to DR..
J. ]. Sippy, epidemiologist of the state
board of health. I'VE have not tabu-
lated our reports received today and
cannot tell exactly how the different
sections are affected but from the pile
of reports it appears that the disease
is neither better nor worse in the
state" he said. 1.-THE worst situation
is down in Crawford county where
there has been no abatement and the
reports are just as numerous as last
week. Out in western Kansas the dis
ease is just appearing and we had a
call for help from Colby today as the
local doctor is away.
I'VE have asked the public health
service to authorize two men and two
nurses for Mulberry and Crawford
county, and to authorize one physician
for Colby to look after the disease
there. Some of the extreme western
counties are reporting their first cases
today.
Eastern Counties Improved.
1.-THE eastern counties, where the
disease first appeared, are showing an
abatement where the closing orders
were put into force early and other
counties where no precautions were
taken, are about reaching the pinnacle
in q considerable number of sections
of the state, but no worse anywhere
than was to be expected and we be-
lieve generally has reached the top

BATTER The Line.
Enemy Is Barring Advance
With Utmost Desperation.
Shatter the Left Flank IL Yanks
Break Thru.

With the American forces north
west of Verdun, Oct. 16.-The Ger
mans today continued their resistance
against the advance of the American
forces on this front. the strength of
the opposition equalling that of Tues
day. With machine guns, some artil-
lery fire and minor counter attacks the
Germans this morning interposed des-
perate resistance to Pershing's men
all along the line.
All the counter attacks were easily
repulsed. They had the appearance
because of the small numbers of men
employed of being efforts to throw
confusion into the American ranks in
order to gain time.
Another Breach.
With the American Army North of
Verdun, Oct. 16.-Americans are bat
tering another breach in the Kriem-
hide line in the region of st. Georges
The enemy is fighting with the ut
most desperation. A break between
the Aisne and Meuse rivers means col
lapse of the entire German front in
this sector.
Should the Americans break thru
here the enemy's left flank would be
ably be felt all along the line which
has been showed back by recent as
saults of the allies further north.
Buzancy is under American shell
fire. Dun-Sur- Meuse, Stenay ant
other big railway centers have beer
repeatedly bombed by our airplanes.

WHISKY FOR FLU!
Rumor That Two Carloads Were
Coming Frustrated by Governor.
TWO carloads of real whisky, re.

Two carloads of real whisky, re-
l>-sed specially by the government to
cure the influenza in Topeka, and due
to arrive tonight! That was the
news that came to the flu-stricken
folks of the city early today. 1t spread
around among some folks who didn't
have the disease and they arranged
right away to contract it and get in
on the two carloads.
There surely was going to be a real
outbreak of the influenza in the capi-
tai of Kansas tonight and tomorrow
morning. There wouldn't be half
enough. quarantine cards to plaster
the houses where there was a certain
ty that the disease was going to ap-
pear right away. Those who heard
the news began casting about to find
out who was going to receive the
liquor shipment and just when it was
going TO arrive SO they could get in
their bid early and be sure of bottle.
There were inquiries as to how it
was going to be dispensed, if a doc
tors certificate would be required or
if the doctors alone would give the
liquor in medicinal doses. There were
some who thought it wouldn't be

titles only.
Then someone happened to think
that possibly some state or county or
government officials might know
something about the two carloads of
booze and that someone called the
governor by telephone.

influenza cure went blooie. The bub-

ernment has not found that whisky
was a cure for influenza. The doctors

rather than better. Neither the gov
ernment DOr the state will permit any
liquor to come into Kansas for this OF

FROM SEC'Y BAKER

Boost for Loan.
"Give to the Last Nickel" Says
War Secretary.

1.-The people at home must show
themselves as resolute as the soldiers
at the front are brave" is the state
ment made by Secretary of War Baker
in a message which was received from
him late this afternoon by the S. A.
T. c. at Washburn college, urging the
American people not to falter in back
ing up our boys overseas to the last
nickel. The full text of the note,
ing officers, follows:
There was never time in the his
tory of the great war more critical
than the present week overseas.
American valor and efficiency are
carrying the banner of democracy with
resistless force toward German soil
The ardor of our fighting men must
not be cooled and the wonderful ini-
tiatixe of our soldiers must not be
dulled by any failure on our part to
carry the fourth liberty loan victori-
ously over the top. The people at
home must show themselves to be as
reso1ute as the soldiers at the front
are brave. No influence is so potent
in its stimulating effect on the people
OF our country as the efficiency of our
men with the colors. Let every Ameri-
can soldier and every American officer
do his duty not only by subscribing
himself but by urging those at hom.
to do likewise.
