e. S. Units East of Rheims as
Well rs at Chateau Thierry.
Have Not 6 '~ an Inch Before

STANDING LIKE A STONE WALL
Held Fire Until They Saw
"Whites of Their Eyes,"
Germans Who Wanted To Sur
render Had To Speak Quickly.

With the Americans in the Cham
pagne, July 16 (s:55 a. m.)-American
units holding the line east of Rheims
have not given an inch before the Ger
man drive.
Forming the allied right flank. they
stood like stone wall against the
great enemy push inflicting huge
losses on the Germans and taking
large numbers of prisoners.
Following a bombardment of gas
and high explosives, which adjoining
French units declared was heavier
than any ever attempted at Verdun,
the masses of grey-clad German in
fantry swept forward to the assault
yesterday morning.
Americans Held Their Fire.
American field guns, firing low
over the heads of our men in advanced
positions, tore great gaps in the close
packed ranks of the enemy. The ma
chine gunners and riflemen withheld
their fire until they could literally fol-
low the famous revolutionary order
don't fire until you see the whites of
their eyes" Then at a signal, they
cut loose with such a tornado of steel
that the foremost waves of boche in
fantry were torn to shreds. The Ger
mans wavered, tried to reform their
ranks and finally fled, leaving the field
carpeted with grey bodies.
Like Waves Against Rocky Coast.
Time and again the boches returned
to the attack, doggedly trying to
sweep over the American front lines
and carry the rise which formed our
support position. And time and again
their waves broke and receded on the
defense of the Americans, for all the
world like the waves of he sea bat
tering at a rock bound coast.
The Americans even brought trench
mortars into play. The range at times
was so short that the heavy projec-
tiles often cut thru a score of men
before exploding. One of our mortar
gun outfits, operating in gas masks
for six hours, wiped out five German
battalions tprobably 2,500 men).
Had to Shout Kamerad Quick.
Some of the rushes carried into the
American lines, and bayonets, clubbed
rifles and fists were substituted fol
bullets. But these temporary sue
cesses only resulted in the Americans
taking a few prisoners. The prisoner:
were comparatively few, too, as z

5000 IN AUGUST
This Probably VIII Be Quota
From Glass 1 in Kansas.
Nearly That Many VIII Have
Left Here 10 20 i. Z. 1. d.

This state will probably furnish at
least 5000 men for army service in
August, according to general estimates
made by men in touch with the Sc
lective draft work. Estimates from
Washington to the effect that 800, 900
men will be called next month, are
taken to indicate a probable gross
quota from this state of from 5000 to
$500 for the month.
National calls for July inductions
aggregated about 2S0,000 men. Two
heavy calls under these orders took
500 men from Kansas, while minor
calls advanced the state total to about
5000. Inductions this week of negro
troops will take 700 men from Kan
sas. The big July call for white
troops is effective next week and will
send 300 men to Camp Funston and
Fort Riley, with 700 men for Deming,
N NJ.
Official quotas for various states
may not be announced for a week Or
ten days. It is believed, however, that
the calls will be sent from Washington
some time next week. Already sew
eral small calls for special August in
ductions have been sent from Wash
ington- The announcements of the
heavy calls, however, are expected to
be held in abeyance until late in the
month. Based on July quotas, draft
officials believe Kansas will be asked
for a gross induction ranging from
5000 to $500 in August. Two special
training calls for August have already
been issued from Washington. They
will take total of 416 men from the

WHO'S HER FAVORITE?
One Topeka .Woman-A Cripple
Registers for Next Election.

The desire of one Topeka woman
to exercise her right of the franchise
was proven last night when she went
to the city hall to register She was
unable to be served" at the building
during the day. SO she returned in
the evening, but arrived after the e1e-
Nator had stopped running for the day
She was crippled and could not walk
up the steps, and rather than lose
her vote. she was carried up the two
flights that lead to the clerks office.
The elevator will be in operation
during the evenings beginning to-
night. and continuing to the night of
July &c. so that those who come in the
evenings to register need not walk up
the stairs.
One woman went to register this
morning and learned that there was a
good deal of uncertainty as to wheth-
er she was an American citizen or not.
Sh2 was the daughter of a naturalized
/ foreigner. and before her marriage.
was considered an American citizen.
She then married a foreigner. who af-
Z terward was naturalized. He is now
dead. and the question is raised as to
whether or not she is dfsfranchised
! by her marriage to a man who was
not. at the time of the marriage an
! American citizen. The attorney gen
erals office will be asked to settle the
question before the woman returns
| to make her second attempt at regis
tration.
