biities for her never to have dwelt
upon this very crisis in her life. But
whenever she had tried to think what
it would be like she had always pic
tured Ward beside her, shielding her
from dreary details and tightening her
burden with his whimsical gentleness.
She had felt sure that Ward would
ride down every week for news of her,
and she had expected to fud him there
waiting for her after that last letter.
Whatever could be the matter? Had
he left the country?

GIRLS IN THE RANKS
Topeka Youns Women Drill With
Guards on State House Grounds.


The lure of the marching columns
proved too great for dozens of girls
Friday night who came to the east
steps of the state house to watch the
Yankee Waacs" drill. The came to
watch, to smile, to criticize, and ended
up by taking their places in the ranks.
When the drills first began there
were scarcely sixty girls in the ranks,
but in little more than an hour, there
were fully eco in line. The only thing
that seemed to cause confusion was
the command Squads right" AS long
as the girls were marching in column
of squads and could follow a leader
they were all right, but when that
old command" came to wheel to- the
right land some of the girls had to
strike out for themselves, they often
got lost. a
This difficulty was overcome in a
measure by the methods they adopted
to keep together. Some marched with
their arms around each others Shout
ders, others Joined hands and still 9TH
ers linked arms. And while these
things, together with the swinging
hand bags, detracted somewhat from
the military appearance of the affair.
1t served the purpose of teaching them
how to keep together and they learned
more rapidly than the men of the state
guard.
The Ninth battalion officers, who are
doing the training, expressed great
satisfaction at the manner in which
the girls are working. Many OF them
show indications of making good drill
masters after a little more expert
ence.

The good work done by the Boy

their own benefit in the present cam
paign to raise $4,000 to maintain the
Bow Scout organization in Topeka for
the next three years.
in every war work campaign SO 1af,
and in every parade, convention and
public activity the Boy Scouts OF the
city have proved their worth time and
time again, according to all reports

Not once but many times mas the
thoughtfulness and readiness of Boy

came necessary that something be

the city. The Boy Scouts have made
a name for themselves and are now
reaping the first fruits of their labors
for the public good.
The plan is to employ a paid scout
executive who will have no business
cares except those pertaining to the
Boy Scouts and the Boy Scout organi-
aztion. An armory or club room " i'll
be rented and fitted up for the use of
the boys. and the scout executive is to
be instructed to bring every boy in
the city under the jurisdiction of the
organization if that is possible.
One of the strongest recommends
tons given to the scout movement
which Topeka is being asked to sup
port to the tune of $4,000 per year for
the next three years. is that of Maj

HUN CRISIS Near
Kaiser Preparing Fake ReyOlu-

Papers Talk of q "Real Parlia-
mentAry Government"

Amsterdam. Sept. 21.-The govern
mcnt crisis in Germany is approaching
decisive stage. according to the Leip-
zig Tageb1att, and a majority OF the
parties are firmly resolv d to form
parliamentary government without de-
lay-a government which in entire IN
dependence of main headquarters Will
pursue a policy made necessary by the
seriousness of the hour. The Social
lists have declared their readiness to
enter the new government under the
following conditions:
The Socialist Terms.
First, the abolition Of certain para
graphs in the constitutions; second, the
entry of at least two or three Social
Democrats in the government, ana,
third, the occupation Of one important
political post, presumably the minis
try of the interior. by a Socialist for
which Friedrich Ebert, president OF
the main committee of the reichstag
and vice president Social Democratic
party is the foremost candidate.
The Center party definitely de-
cided on its attitude as to the chan
cel1orship at a meeting on Monday.
A section of the party Is following the
| lead of Herr Geeroeber, one of its
reichstag representatives, In a desire
to retain Count Won Hertiing: The
ma jority Of the party, however. de-
| mands the retirement of the chancel-
] lor, Count Brockdorff- Rantzou. min

! toned as the chancelfor's successor.
| The Tageblatt advises the selection of
Count Brockdorff- Rantzou. believing
that he would theoretically undertake
the parliamentary reforms.
| Nothing Definite Yet
The Vossische Zeitung, commenting
on the Tageblatts statement, SAYS that
| it is worthy of attention and for the
most part corresponds with what is
being discussed in party circles but
doubts that affairs have yet assumed
such definite form as the Tageblatt
suggests. The Vossische Zeitung says
that nothing is yet known about the
Socialists having definitely formulated
demands but expects that the party's
chief demand will be for a change in
the constitution, which it says also is
| favored by the Center party. The
newspaper denies that the minister to
| Copenhagen is the foremost candidate
for the CHARACTERISTIC and recalls that
! he had been mentioned in every crisis
and questions whether his prospects
are any better now than at other
times. Continuing, it asserts that
there is no unanimity yet among the
majority parties concerning the chan
cellorship, the question not having
been mentioned at inter-party discus

HE is AN INSTRUCTOR
Sergeant Coblentz OF Topeka SEM
Home-But Not Wounded.

Sergt. Luther Coblentz has arrived
from France, ans is visiting his par
ents, the Rev. and Mrs. C. S. Coblentz.
Word was received. unofficially, some
weeks ago that Coblentz had been se-
verely wounded. A letter from him
stated that he was being sent home.
The report of his wounding was in
correct, and he is being sent back to
the United States as an instructor. One
non-commissioned man from each
American unit that has seen active
service. is selected to be returned
home as an instructor.
Coblentz is attached to the infantry
OF the .Thirty-fifth division. He left
this country in April, and was in
France until about the middle of Au-
gust He was in trench service three
weeks in the Somme country near
Amiens. For eighteen days out of the
three weeks of his trench service he
did not have any opportunity to take
off his shoes. After his release from
the trenches he served in the Vosges
region.
Coblentz says he thinks there is n
chance that the war may be finished
next year. He believes Metz will be
captured, but that it will take a long
time.
Sergeant Coblentz served on the
Mexican border before America enter
ed the European war.

Get LOANS
More Than 1000 Ask Money To
Purchase Seed Wheat.
The Seed Purchased Will Plant
100000 Acres.

Thus far, 1881 farmers have ap-
piled for loans for the purchase of
seed wheat, the amounts borrowed ag-
gregating s621,096. OF this number
of applications for loans, LIT have
been approved, for a total amount of
s5O0,T52. One hundred and twenty
three applications have been rejected
by the local committees and the coun-
ty agents. The reasons for these re-
jections are chiefly that the ground is
not in good condition for seeding, or
the farmers have not yet exhausted
their local meals of credit.
r. c. johnson, dean of the extern
sior division of the State Agricultural
college, has submitted reports from
fsLrm bureau committees and from
county agents of eastern Kansas with
reference to the government seed
wheat loans to the state agricultural
department. Loans have been applied
for in twenty counties, and forty-one
meetings to organize seed wheat COM
nlittees have been conducted by farm
bureaus. county agents and represen-
tatives of Leon NJ. Estabrook, who is
in charge of the seed wheat loans for
Kansas.
There remain 1913 applications still
to be considered and passed upon by
the local committees and county
agents. All applications that have
been approved by the farm bureaus
and county agents have been for
warded to Estabrook.
1t is estimated that the seed pro-
cured thru these loans will plant be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres which
would not otherwise have been plant
ed. This Is a larger acreage of wheat
than is planted in any one state east
