COSSACK VICTORY
Have Cleared Left Bank of the
Don River.
Are Extremely Hostile to Huns
and BOISheviki.

Amsterdam, Aug. 16.-The Don
Cossa cks have cleared the left bank of
the Don of their opponents and are
marching victoriously on Zaragin,
from which they are only one days
march distant, says an official state
ment issued by the Don Cossacks' staff
and received here from Kiev.
The newspapers at Kiev report that
the Cossacks from the northern Don
region have entered the government of
Veronesh- A dispatch to the Cologne
Zeitung from Kfev says that the Don
ers in the adjoining regions have en-
tered negotiations looking to the es-
tablishment of a joint central govern
ment.
!. Washington, Aug. 16-News of the
success of the Don Cossacks on the
river Don, coming thru Amsterdam
today was anticipated here, as the
Germans have been unable to present
a force in that section of Russia which
could stop these fierce fighters of the
Steppes.
The Cossacks have persistently re-
fused to recognize the Brest-Litovsk
treaty and have been implacabIe in
| their hostility to the Teutons and the
Bolsheviki. It was suggested by of
ficials here that the conduct of the
Cossacks is significant of the support
the small inter-allied army and the
Czecho-Slova will receive from va.
rfous factions in their efforts to aid
the Russians in the re-establishment

Late E. C. Prather of Cove Is
Named for the Legislature.
Another Tribute to Fallacy of
Kansas Primary Law.
DIED LONG BEFORE ELECTION
But County Clerk Certified
Name and Voters Knew Not
Enemy Alien Placed on Ticket
in Another District.

Cove county has paid the highest
tribute to the fallacy of the primary
law. She has nominated a dead man
for the state legislature.
In the ten years of activity under
the statewide primary law, many
things have happened under the pri-
mary plan. Men who have been tried
for their sanity have nosed out high
" competent and efficient men under
the present nominating system. Occa-
sionaIy a man living under a social
ban has found the primary an excel
lent source of vindication and a safe
return to the good graces of his
neighbors. Only this month one Kan
sas county nominated an enemy alien
to a prominent county office.
Now Cove county comes to the front
with a testimonial of the care and
prayerful thought that the average
voter exercises in selecting nominees
for office. Until some weeks ago E.
c. Prather was a highly respected
citizen of Cove county. He had been
active in local affairs and his friends
urged him to run for the state legis-
lature. Last spring he filed as can
didate for the house. Later he died.
Local papers gave much prominence
to his death, but his name had been
certified by the county clerk and was
printed on the ballot.
OF course the matter probably will
be remedied before the November
election when the county committee
will direct the placing of the name of
a new nominee on the ballot. But
that won't change the action of the
Cove county voters, who showed their
desire to add new evidence of careful
selection of candidates and nominated
Prather.
So far as is known Prather is the
first dead man to be nominated to a
state office in Kansas under the prf-
mary system. z. Z. Sampson OF Quin-
ter, twice a member of the house from
, Cove county, was renominated by the
ReDubIicans

The attempts of the suffragists to
address the crowds were always frus-

night. On that occasion the women
planned a little surprise for the cops
and carried off the strategic move with
success, delivering a number of ad-
dresses before the guardians of the

they found it out. they hurried to the
scene of the meeting, arriving in time
to catch Mrs. Main in the midst of

That Is Reason for Extension

Washington. Aug. 16.-'The great

with four million Americans then
there the allies can penetrate the Ger

Little expectation Is held that the
war will end this year. A high official

the stages by which the war would be
ended as follows:
Maximum manpower in Europe by

possible thereafter, surprising in size

To get the 100000 new draftees
which the war program now calls for,
General Crowder plans to register
100000 men early next month.
Draft officials thruout the country
are getting ready for this gigantic
task. Men will begin to leave for
camps almost as soon as they are
classified, Crowder said.
An appeal to congress to speed UP
action on the draft bill was being
voiced thruout the country today. As

shortage may soon assume such pro-
portions that many of the garment

supply at hand it is expected that hun
dreds of employees may have to be re-
