MINE DUST VICTIM
Man With tuberculosis Is Sent Back
Ito Joplin.

Man With tuberculosis Is Sent Back
Ito Joplin.
A victim of Joplin. Mo-, mining con-
ditions wandered into town this week,
and appealed for help to the Provident
association. The applicant for assis-
lance was a man of SO who had been
working in the zinc mines at Joplin,
where none of the new safety appli-
ances for keeping down the fine pow
der dust are in use. The constant
breathing of the dust had weakened
the mans lungs, and he contracted
tuberculosis. He and his 1S-year-old
wife started for Colorado, the man
trying to work here and there as he
travelled. On his last job he collapsed,
and Topeka being the next stopping
place, the two got off here and asked
for assistance An additional handicap
to their fortunes is that neither of
them has ever been to school a day
and both are unframed at any kind of
work.
The association provided them with
funds to return to Joplin. and the as
ISOLATED charities organization of that
city was notified - look after them

TO PROTECT SOLDIERS
Army Establishes an Early Prophy-
Tactic Station in Topeka.

The extent to which the army Off
Gals are going to protect and safe
guard the health of enlisted men is
shown by the establishment of early
prophylactic stations here and in 9TH
er cities where soldiers are allowed to
visit and spend their furlos. Stations
have just been established here and in
Kansas City.
The Topeka station il located at the
corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue, in
room of the Capital Building &
Loan association building. A large
sign on the stairway informs soldiers
of its Whereabouts. A sergeant from
medical units in charge and pre-
tentative treatment is given free to
all soldiers who apply.
A strict army regulation requires
that all soldiers who have been ex-
posed to the dangers of sexual dis
eases take the prescribed prophylac-
tic treatment within q few hours.

THREE CITIES

IN FLANDERS, which are putting It in a
Drive Huns From Three Cities.
London, Oct. 2.-The Germans have
been driven from Crevecoeur and
RumiIly, Field Marshal Haig an
nounced today. The British have oc-
cupied the high ground to the east of
those places.
Two Cities in Flames.
It would appear that the allied sue.
cesses at st. Quentin and at Cambria
endanger the enemy's line north and
south of those cities. st. Quentin and
Cambria are in flames and the fall of
the latter will probably mean the
abandonment of Douai by the enemy.
La Fere, south of st. Quentin. seems
in peril and IL that city is taken by
the allies, the Germans will probably
be forced to retire from the st. Gobain
forest and Laon. When this occurs
the backbone of the German line in
northeastern France will be broken.
What About Italy?
In two other sectors. attacks would
not be unexpected by the allied world.
The first is in the Lorraine country
where the Americans hold positions
along the oselle.> An attack here
would endanger Metz. The other
front where fighting may begin on a
grand scale is in Italy. wnere the stage
appears to be set for an offensive that
will carry the Italian line toward the
Austrian frontier.

Charges Are Made Against Two

COURT ACTION MAY FOLLOW

Facts in the Case.
Say They Sold Information to

Washington. Oct. 2.-Charges in
volving the loyalty of an American
minister and several consular officers
accredited to a Central American re-
public were referred to the state de-
partment today thru the senate foreign
relations committee
The charges, If true. so connect the
American diplomats with German in
terests as to make probable the fill
ing of the gravest accusations in the
federal courts against at least two
men
Disclosures of the qualifications OF
German propaganda operating che1ly
thru a business house of tremendous
influence and power may also cause a
Central American eruption which WILL
GUST German influence for good.
According to.sthese charges, the ac-
cused officials have:
Accorded q German banking mouse
fullest access to American records and
papers in war time.
Sold confidential government 1n1or-
nation TO the German bank
propagandists.
Accepted ''loans' from the bankers
in the form of "overdrafts" on per-
sonal accounts in return for CONNER
cial information wanted by the Ger
mans.
have seriously compromised one of the
officials in a way rejecting on his
morality, so that his further usefulness
in the country Is ended.
The charges probably will be dis
cussed by the foreign relations COM
mittee at a meeting this week.
At Guatemala City.
The Officers in question were sta
toned at Guatemala City, it was
stated today.
Secretary Lansing would not dis
cuss the, subject today beyond saying
an Investigation was being made. i
was learned that the information frs
was submitted to a member of the
foreign relations committee of the
senate and that the informants were
directed to make their disclosures te
the state department. The charges
are of such a serious nature and sc
far are understood to be in such In
formal shape that officials do not care
to talk about them or to use the names
of the men involved.

HE IS BLIND FOR LIFE
Goodland Youth Not Satisfied With
Rock Island Compensation.

Charles Fuller. q young man who
lost his eyes in an accident in the Rock
Island shops at Goodland. has filed an
appeal from the compensation award
ed to him for his injury. A special
arbitrator was named to determine
what the award to Fuller should be
and the ruling was $3.50 for medical
attention and SIS a week for eight
years, as the injury was a total per-
manent disability which practically
prevents the young man doing any
work.
This award was unsatisfactory to
Fuller and his parents, SO an appeal
has been taken to the supreme court.

FIGHT GRASSHOPPERS
Central Kansas Farmers Have To Use
Poison To Check Devastations.

showers fell over the greater part
of Kansas this week. with heavy
downpours in many south-centrai
counties and fairly good rains In more
of the north-central and western coun-
ties. Temperatures ranged close TO
normal and there were no frosts ex-
cept light ones on the 9th and 2Sth.
according to the weekly report of the
Topeka office of the United States
weather bureau.
Wheat sowing is progressing rapidly
under ideal conditions in most places.
Fully three-fourths of it has been
done inNthe eastern two-thirds OF the
state and half of it in the western
third. Except in few north-centval
and western counties, the ground has
sufficient moisture to start the crop
and about half that has been sown is
coming up to fine stands and the fields
beginning to look green. More rain
is needed, however. in many parts to
insure continued growth the next few
weeks. Grasshoppers are thick in the
central and western counties, but,
where they appeared in greatest num-
bers, they are being held in check
with poison and their damage so far
has not been serious. except in some
of the northwestern counties. No
complaint of Hessian fly has been re-
cetved yet.
1 Since the heavy to killing frosts of
the week previous to this grain sor-
ghums have been harvested as rapidly
as possible for forage. Some of them
matured seed before frost and some
on uplands and in the southern coun-
ties are still growing, but the bulk of
them will be forage crops, only, this
year.
Pastures have made slow growth
lately. Putting up alfalfa is still un-
der way in the eastern counties, which
generally makes the fourth crop on
lowlands and the third on uplands.
Picking the commercial crop OF
early apples is about finished in the
northeastern counties and in full blast
in the Arkansas valley. Broom corn
is mostly pulled in the southwest.
Sugar beet harvest will start the
middle of the month in the Garden
City district
