Blouses Develop Peplums and Silk
Collars and Sometimes Have Apron
Fronts With Nothing at All Below
the Waist in the Back.

New York.-The peplum blouse is
what the boys call IAN in and outer"
When first it appeared. several sea-
sons ago it was an article de luxe. very
expensive and exclusive. and rather
apt to be "arty." Well dressed wo-
men, however, wore it in the house
good deal, and some people have a
strong suspicion that the semi-trans-
parent "chemise," made of Georgette
or chiffon, which was later worn over
satin skirts by SO many women. was
the direct consequence of the conven-
fence and becomingness of the peplum
blouse.
Later, it became rather ordinary,
and was given up by those who found
that a neat, Straightforward beltline
was more in keeping with the tailored
effect of the suit with which it was
usually worn. This spring, the pep
lum blouse showed itself again, tenta-
lively, in expensive materials, and it
has had some success with the new
coats, which are a sort of cross be-
tween a cape and a jacket. and have
had a moderate success with younger
women. When the cape-coat is open,
the long fronts of the peplum blouse
have a pretty effect.

PREPARE FOR BOYS
Gives Them Higher Religion When
They Return, Says Bishop Oldham.

At a union meeting Of nearly all of
the Topeka churches at the auditor
ium Sunday night, Bishop W. F. Old
ham, general bishop of the Methodist
church, asserted that the United
States and her lilies will win the war"
Bishop Oldham said that it was the
duty of the church to prepare to give
the boys a higher class of religion
when they come back than when they
went away.
1.-The boys will demand that the re-
ligion offered them be of much high
er caliber than that which was given
them when they went overseas" de-
clared Bishop Oldham. "They will
demand that religious effort be more
co-ordinated than at present because
they themselves will be bigger, broad
er and more devout men than before
they went away"
Bishop Oldham illustrated his talk
with short stories OF his experiences in
the missionary field.
The meeting voted that President
Wilson should be notified that the
sense of the gathering was that the
wheat of the nation should be con-
served and used for food and not for
the manufacture of intoxicating bey-
erages,

PREACHERS LEARN
TO BE CHAPLAINS
AT SEVERE SCHOOL

Louisville, KY, June 3.-The only
school for chaplains ever maintained
by the United States army soon will
graduate it's second class at Camp
Zachary Taylor. There are ninety stu
dents in the class. which is made up
of ministers of many denominations.
some of whom until recently served
as pastors of big city churches. Some
of the graduates already have been
commissioned as chaplains while 9TH
ers are approved candidates for chap
lain awaiting appointment"
No instruction on theological SUBJ
jects is attempted at the school. The
whole effort is centered upon fitting
clergymen, fresh from civil life and
the problems of civil life, into the mil
itary scheme of things.
In the words of one of the instruc-
tors at the school this is not intended
to make of the chaplain a guard
house lawyer" but merely to fit him
to give intelligent advice to soldiers.
Must Know Army Ways.
If the men in the army are to look
up to a chaplain, it is necessary that
he have their confidence to the small
est detail. And, as the men of the ma
tional army are rapidly becoming ex-
perts there must be no risk of their
coming to regard the chaplain with
the half contemptuous amusement the
experts feel for an amateur, because
OF any lack of knowledge of military
custom on the chaplain's part. For
TINS reason great attention is paid also
TO instruction in military etiquette.
Inc chaplains class is also taught
the very highest of high spots in in
ternational law. In addition there is
instruction in equitation, in the care of
person and clothing in the field. for
the chaplain follows the men with
whom he serves into the trenches, and
may frequently go over the top" with
them. If not he will be found assist
ing in the care of wounded men on the
field under fire. Under such condi-
tons, he, like every one else connected
with an army in the field, must shift
for himself and must know how.
Same Food as Soldiers.
While attending the school of chap
lains, the students are quartered in
barracks originally built for enlisted
men: they get government straight
to eat three times a day. and they
wash up the mess kits from which
they eat Just as would any enlisted
men. In addition they sleep on the
straw-filled mattresses to be found on
the beds of enlisted men.
Their attitude Is summarized in the
answer to a query given by one of
them who said:
"Oh boyi This bunch of preachers
never knew how good real food could
taste or how soft a straw tick could be
until they started putting us thru this
course of sprouts eleven and one-half
hours every day"
The school is in charge of Major A.
A. Pruden, a regular army chaplain,
and he is assisted by four instructors
all drawn from the regular army.

FISCHER WILL FIGHT
Wamego Banker Relieved From Desk
JOHN Next Draft Now.

Lloyd E. Fischer of Wamego, who
OF Uncle Sans national army to a
desk job near Washington, is now on
the lists of the Pottawatomie county
board and subject to call for service.
In fact, it is quite probable that
Fischer will be in the next quota to
Camp Funston or Camp Cody from
Pottawatomie county.
Fishers case probably aroused
more feeling than any selective draft
evasion in the state. Fischer Is a
banker in Wamego. He married the
daughter of the richest banker in
town. In fact, he married into a
regular banking organization. The
family held both financial and po-
litical power. Since Fischer was mar
war and after the registration OF
June, 1917, he was placed in class
Ia. He wanted exemption because
of his dependent wife.
Twice Fischer appealed. Twice his
appeal was denied. Deferred classi-
fications were denied. Congressman
Dudley Doolittle, in whose district
Fischer lives. took the matter up with
the war department. He produced
evidence which showed that Fischer
had run a race with the draft board
and landed a bomb-proof job at q
desk in Newport News. He arrived
on the job some hours ahead of a
call for physical examination and call
for service.
Congressman Doolittle asked that
Fischer be honorably discharged from
his desk job and sent back to Kansas
for army service. So Fischer is re-
turning to Wamego and will probably
go with the next contingent from
Pottawatomie county.

quota which left Lawrence last week
for Fort Logan, Col. He will train
with selective service organizations
soon to be sent overseas.
Young Stubs is an athlete. He Is
more than six feet tall and weighs
200 pounds. He was a star guard on
the freshman football team at Kansas
university last year and played until
he was compelled to quit the game be-
cause of a broken leg. 1t was because
of the accident that Stubs was pre-
vented from winning place On this
years varsity team.
Roscoe Stubs Is well known in To-
peka, having made his home with his
parents here while Governor Stubs
was state executive from 1909 to 1913.
Young Stubs is a member of the Phi

Sends Many Secretaries.
Up to March 81 this year, the Y. M.
c. A. had sent 2,13S men and 2O2
women overseas for work in the war
zone. as well as appointing 1883 sec,
retaries to home environments and
camps. To house this force in suit
able quarters for Y. M. c. A. work,
538 huts were built in training camps
in this country at cost OF S3,945,-
4S175 for construction and equipment,
with an operating expense OF S4,333,-
1851. In the war zone SOS centres
had been built or leased outside of
Pars, while twelve buildings were used
in the French capital, five of them no
tells or hotel anneXes.
Secretaries for overseas work are
being recruited at the rate of about
1000 month, it was announced. The
1889 workers in American camps are
divided as follows: Physical work
Sal, building secretaries 472, religious
433, educational 239, camp general
secretaries 112, assistant secretaries
I,105, miscellaneous secretaries 81.
In addition to the large amount OF
war zone, the Y. NJ. c. A. circulated
at least 100000 feet of film week
in camps in America, making approx
imately 1880 presentations week to
audiences totalling at least 100000
men. More than 100000 Testaments
were distributed, and in all, 100000
pieces of religious literature.
Educational work on a huge scale
Is being done by the organization,
with English classes for illiterates and
English speaking soldiers, and
French classes for officers and men.
The English classes have an estimated
monthly attendance of 100000 while
the French classes have an enroll
