AUSTRIA
Recognition of Czecho-SIovak
Nation Means Dissolution.
Allies Are Now Finally Com
mitted to Breakup.

London. Aug. 15.-British recogni-
ton of the Czech-Slovak nation is
commented on favorably by the news
papers. The Daily Graphic says that
it means that in addition to the other
war aims. the allies are now COM
mitted to the formation of a separate
and independent Czecho-Slovak nation
out of the ruins of the Austrian en-
pire. Dr. Dillon, writing in the Daily
Telegraph, says:
These timely measures tell of the
determination of the entente powers
to break up the Hapsburg monarchy
into its constituent nationalities and to
take as much thought about the re-
constitution of the east as of the west
OF Europe. The importance of the
declaration lies in the implied resolve
of the allied governments to. carry on
the war until this solution is reached. ;"
1t is suggested by the Daily Chroni-
Gle that the policy exemplified in the
Polish and Czecho-Slovak cases
should be completed by the recogni-
ton of the Jugo-Slavs.

YANKS like KING
They Found George of England
Delightful Fellow.

Doughboys Cheered Him.

With the British Armies in France
Aug. 3 (nigh0 American here are
strong for King George, who left for
London yesterday after eight days in
the field, during which Marshal Haig
began his battle. Several times the
king met Americans. chatting with
them in the friendliest manner. He
talked with Generals Pershing and
Bliss and Major Generals Organ OF
the Twenty-seventh division and
Lewis of the Thirtieth, and decorated
a number of our troops who partici-
pated in the fighting along the Somme
on July 4.
On Friday night the king reviewed
Organs and Lewiss divisions and
later Major General Cronkhite's
Eightieth division.
The king spent ope morning with
American troops. Doughboys, lining
the roads, cheered the king!
Received American Generals.
Major Generals Reed, McRea and
Simonds of the United States army,
were received by the king. who
visited the newly won territory east
of Aniens and decorated General
Currie, commander of the Canadian
troops. He also knighted General
Debeney of the French army, visited
all the British commanders and
lunched with the king and queen of
Belgium
He averaged hundred miles a day
in motoring, visiting hospitals, depots,
ETC., and received the newspaper cor
respondents before leaving.
Il am greatly pleased that so many
Americans are here" he said. They
are looking fit and their spirit is adj
mirable. They are determined to win
forward or die fighting. They are
very fine troops. One of my greatest
pleasures in my visit here was that
was able to talk with General Perish
ing and some of your other generals
and men
They certainly never thought of
anything but victorious peace in the
country they came from"

of the war that when they cease in
good faith to follow the essential oc-
cupation they ought to be subject to
the draft as in other cases.
THE young man not engaged in
these occupations must wear the uni
form, enter the ranks and bare his
breast to the weapons of the German
army, He cannot refuse to work even
for an hour and he is compelled to
fight whether he feels disposed to do
SO or not. In view of this when a
young man is exempted from the draft
solely in order that he may engage in
an essential industry he ought to con-
tinue in that employment in good faith
while any grievance is being adjusted
by the industrial board and if he fails
to do so he ought to be subject to
draft
Interferes With No Mans Rights.
THE provision does not pretend to
interfere with the right of any man to
cease labor when any man pleases to
do so. but simply says to him that if
he does cease he shall, under such
regulations. as the president may pre-
scribe subject himself to the draft as
tho he had not been exempted in the
first instance"
Senate leaders had te1egraphed
members to return from vacations SO
that the agreement for three-day re-
cesses until August "a might be set
aside and thus clear parliamentary
obstacles to taking up the bill imme-
diately upon convening Monday. Only
forty-three senators answered to their
names when the roll was called, six
less than a quorum. There were %
Republicans and 81 Democrats.
Take Up Bill Next Week.
The senate adjourned until Mon
day and the plan now is to begin
consideration of the bill rext Thurs
day, if possible. Senator Chamber
lain still hopes to pass the measure
by Saturday of next week. He said a
quorum seemed assured for Monday
and he then will renew his request to
set aside the vacation program and
proceed Thursday with the bill. He
expressed confidence of its passage
within three days, before the national
war time prohibition proposal. comes
before the senate as privileged bust
ness. There was some discussion of
seeking to have the prohibition meas
ure set aside If the draft bill should
not be, finished by Saturday. but the
general opinion was that the prohibit
ton advocates would not consent to
sidetracking their measure.

Germans Threaten Bombard-
ment of Constantinople.

London, Aug. 15.-Differences be-
tween the Germans and the Turks are
becoming more frequent and bitter,
according to Information received
from Constantinople. During a quar-
rel with Talaat Pasha recently, the
German ambassador is reported to
have threatened to lombard the city.
Advices from Corstantinople say
that leaflets drop. ed by British avia-
tors are read by the population with
syml pathetic interest. Posters recent
ly found O. the walls Of mosques and
government buildings declaring that
the Germans are the real enemies of
Turkey called forth a strong protest
from the German ambassa or and a
demand for an inquiry.
Threatened Bombardment.
Calaat replied it was impossible %
discover the authors. The ambassa-
dor then announced that German mill
tary police would take charge of the
inquiry. On the following day he in
formed the grand v'zier that the ma
jority of the offenders were in gov
eminent service and that therefore
punishment should be exceptionally
severe.
Talaet retorted that before punish
merit he would institute his own in
vestigation. Violent discu sion fol-
lowed and the German ambassador
went SO far as to threaten the grand
vizier with bombardment of Constan-
tinople with guns of the battle cruiser
Goebein.

tary Baker. Asked by Senator John

pending bill was essential to carry out

States entered the war, Secretary Bak-

'I believe that to be the fact. My

came to the Is minimum only after

Morning Grain Gossip.
(Furnished by the Topeka Board of rrade)

Chicago. Aug. 15.-The Tribune: Grain
The weekly weather and crop bulletin of
the agricultural department was fully as
bullish on losses TO corn crop as conserya-
tive people expected. 1t says continued
hot and dry weather was very unfavorable
for corn from Kansas southeastern Ne
over much Of the Ohio Valley. In many
uplands in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas, the crop will be a failure. Corn
in southern Illinois is yery-poor, while in
the north 1t is excellent and In the central
regions fair. In Indiana the crop made
poor growth. Uplands and light soils show
poor. In Ohio it is poor, with condition
critical IN middle and northern counties.
Nebraska reports say corn damage is gen.
orally confined to- the region east of the
one hundred meridian in Platte River coun-
try and southwark, west and north coun-
ties very good to excellent, but poor in
south central and east portion Sentiment
among the corn traders last night YVES
mixed The crop bulletins were not bull
ish enough 20 bring in a large outside
buying, trade; Those who were buIIish
were disposed to go little slow, while
the bears thought there had been all the
advance on the crop damage the market
was entitled to.

SHORT OF SUPPLIES
Hun Torpedoes Stripped Of Equipment
to Save Copper an. Brass.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
An Irish Port, Aug. 4.-The Ger
mans in their extremity to make their
raw materials for their munitions e
as far as possible, have stripped their
torpedoes until they are as bare as
skeletons compared to the former eff
ficient mechanisms.
1t seems that the idea Of the Ger
mans is to gain the highest possible
explosive power and to eliminate the
delicate and expensive propelifng and
steering apparatus. This has been
done at the cost of accuracy and
range and at the same time enhanced
the danger to the U-noats by forcing
them much closer to their target than
would be necessary If the older types
of torpedoes were used. But it has
resulted in a great saving of copper
and brass, and doubtless has facili-
tated quantity production.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Aug Recommendations
ing that further rains eased the corn mar
ket at the opening today, prices soon scored
a material advance. Scarcity Of offerings
formed the immediate reason for the de-
velopment of strength. Increasing serious
ness Of crop damage reports tended to
make sellers cautious. Initial quotations
which varied from the same as yesterdays
finish to 5sc lower. with September S1-60A
to S161A and October s1.62A to 81 62%
were followed by a decided upturn all
around.
OATS-Firmness in oats resulted from
the advance of corn. Trade lacked volume.
After opening 1sc off to &c to NC higher
with September 6S3sc to 6Sssc, the market
scored slight general gains.
PROYISIONS-Busines in provisions

were unimportant.
