CONFER IN SIBERIA
Allied Representatives, Are Seeking
Unity for Siberian Factions.

London, Aug 8.-Military and polit-
ical activity in Vladivostok has in
creased. says the correspondent there
os the Daily Mail under date of Mon
day.
''-he presence here of General
Horvath is a riddle" he adds. Every
one is speculating concerning his in
tentions, but Horvath himself is not
talking. The allied consuls today con-
sidered the Siberian governments re-
quest for mediation and deputized the
J -anese consul to sound General
Irorvath as to whether it was not pos
sible to arrange a friendly discussion
with his opponents.
The counsellor of the British and
French legations at Peking have ar
rived They saw General HoEvath to-
night. 1t is understood they intended
to offer him good advice and to re-
affirm a decision of the allies not to
support any government until circum-
stances permit a free and full express
sion of the.will of the people"

Today's Temperatures

Whether the present cool weather is
going to stay is of not so much I'M
Dortance as , the fact that relief has
come from the excessive heat. Today
is the coolest day Topeka has ex-
perienced since July II. Instead OF
the temperature readings for the day
being anywhere from 80 to 100. the
high record. the readings for the day
are all, but one, in the seventies.
Until today no rain has fallen in To-
peka since Jaly 29. when the reading
according to Weatherman Flora was
.27 of an inch The rain today at
o'clock had amounted, to 20 of an
inch.
According to Meteorologist Flora
the Bermuda high is still on the job
and the cooler weather here is not
due to the breaking up of this area of
high pressure but is only a temporary
relief from the excessive heat.
Slight showers have visited many
parts of the state, particularly in the
central and western parts. Concordia

Water shortages in many towns are
causing all manner of trouble, and
state d. partments today took steps to
relieve conditions in a number of
localities. In a letter to Governor
Capper, F. C. Fox, general manager of
the Santa Fe railway, declared that
with the greatest difficulty.
The little town of Gardner, johnson
county, is without water, and has ap-
pealed to Governor Capper for relief.
For several weeks the Santa Fe has
supplied water to Edgerton. also in
johnson county, thru the use of tank
cars. Governor Capper asked the
Santa Fe to furnish water to Gardner
citizens.
Furnish Water by Cars.
In his letter to the governor, Fox
stated that conditions in many COM

nearby towns. Recently the city of
Ottawa refused to permit the Santa
Fe to take more water from the
Maris des Cygnes than was actually
required for local needs.
Eldorado. in the heart of the oil

meet demands at that point, the Santa

County Totals

The official count on the vote for
the Republican nominees for Office
state and county-in Shawnee county
is nearly complete late this afternoon.
Only few officers remain uncounted
officially altho in the unofficial tally
the changes will make no difference
in the standing.
The only scare" inflicted by the
official count today centers around
the race between Amos and Addingtou
for representative from the Thirty
fifth district. AS 1t stands late this
afternoon Amos leads Addington- by
forty-one votes. This is the official
count from the sixty-one precincts in
the city of Topeka and Shawnee coun-
ty. All that remains to endanger
Amos's nomination is the soldier vote.
The advantage here seems to be with
Amos as 1t is said that the soldiers
picked out the short names. They
had to write in the names of the can
didates and owing to their limited
time they selected the shorter method.
The official count this afternoon
follows:

British troops at the apex of the

the German resistance was not great
as Field Marshal Haig does not re-

Uf the Vesle. The units which have
crossed are stretched along the
Rheims-Soissons highway and are

German infantry and machine gun
organizations. Several enemy counter
attacks have been withstood, success
fully by the French and Americans
who are striving to dis1odge the
enemy from the low hills bordering
the river.
German Heavy Guns Beyond Aisnc.
Over the entire front between Sois-
sons and Rheims the artillery duel
continues intense. The allied artillery
has been aiding the infantry north of
the river by breaking up some of the
Germany infantry attacks. Enemy
guns in use appear to be only of
medium caliber, and it is believed the
Germans have their heavy guns north
of the Aisne in preparation for an
eventual retirement from between the
rivers.
