zens of TopcI. that their municipal
affairs are conducted on a pa. AS

excess of expenditures for govern
mental costs. including interest and
outl;>ys for permanent improvements
over revenues during the fiscal rear
1917, amounted to SIS, 1852. or
$500 per capita. In the remaining
ninety cities the excess of revenues
over expenditures was S26,976,929, or
$1.75 per capita. Taking the entire
219 cities as a group. the excess of
expenditures amounted to s42,4s4.423

THRILL IN FRANCE
1t Is Believed That Thursday
Marked the Turn.
German Power From Now On
VIII Ebb Away.

Paris, July 19.-France is thrilled
by the news that on the fourth day of
the German offensive French and
American troops snatched the initia-
tive from the enemy by surprise and
soundiy beat fifteen of his divisions on
a 30-mi1e fre at. 1t is felt that Thurs
day marked the ebb of Germans bf-
fensive power.
Allied Hopes Raised High.
The official statements have been
brief and discreet, recording only in
general terms the most definite re-
suits, but when the full details are
made public, 1t will be seen how skill
fully General Foch~ has outgeneraled
the enemy. who has been puffed up
by his recent successes. General Foch,
we're blow to German military prestige
but raised high the hopes of the al
lied nations
Huns VIII Fight for Scissors.
So completely were the Germans
surprised that the Franco-Americans
advanced in places two miles in the
first hour. They Continued their prog
ress in the afternoon in the teeth of
growing resistance. The average
depth of the gains for the whole day
was between three and four miles. At
some points the allies advanced five
miles, according to latest advices
from the front. The allied gains

enemy from using the railways TO

the highest forces in an attempt to
fend off the present danger

The long looked for offensive of the
allies appears to have started. 1t in
dictates that the opportunity for which
General Foch has waited long and pa
tientIy has arrived. Taking advantage
of the situation in which the crown
princes army finds itself after nearly
a week spent in hurting itself against
the stone wall of resistance along the
Marine, in which its losses are esti-
mated at more than 100, 1000. the COM
nander in chief of the allied armies
has struck on a front extending from
Chateau Thierry to scissors. Cabled
reports of the success attending the
movement warrant the belief that the
blow was well timed and may prove
the turning point in the war as re-
CARDS operations on the western front.
The Huns appear to have staked ev-
erything on the success of their latest
thrust toward Paris. Doubtless the
American forces have turned the
scales in favor of the allies Without
General Pershing's army they must
have remained On the defensive. 1t
must be gratifying to every American
to feel that we got there in time. 1t
may mean a shortening of the war by
years. Victory is lowering over the
armies of the allies on all fronts from
the English channel to the Aegean
sea.

ALLIES DOMINATE
Initiative Has Passed From
Hindenburg to FOch.
Allied Armies Everywhere
Straining at the Leash.
BY ED L. KEEN.

London, July 19.-The German
army facing the Franco-Americans in
the scissors district must move fast II
it wants to escape a disastrous pocket
ing.
Opinion was united here today that
the onward smash Of the French and
American troops marks the first stage
of the tide now moving to engulf Ger
many. That nation and its allies are
everywhere on the down grade and
losing the initiative. The allies upon
the other Rand grow more noticeably
powerful as Americans continue to
pour in. On all fighting fronts today
the allies activities are victorious and
significant.
with the failure of the German
drive toward Rheims. the victorious
Franco-American counter blow to-
ward Scissors, the italian activity in
Albania and at Pola, there Is POSSIBLE
ity that there soon will be more i'm
portant developments along the west
front.
The allied armies everywhere are
straining the leash eager to take a
smash at the Hun.
Hitting Their Stride.
It looks here as If the allies had
hit their victory stride.
The navy isn't sleeping while the
allies are steadily smashing at the
Germans on land and in the air. The
ships are filled with men who are
aching for chance to help stage the
final smash. In this connection adj
vices are coming from a neutral coun-
try that eye witnesses report great ac-
tivity in the German fleet. which is
said to be mobilizing at Kiel.
|. The German war office night report
admitted that reserves will be thrown
against French in the district where
the attack was made. and admitted

RIPLEY PARK PAID FOR
Last Payment of $4,000 Brings Decd
to City's Hands.

Ripley park is paid for.
Topekans who hitherto have never
suspected that the city did not own
the place will he surprised to know
that the legal title to the property
still rests in the hands of an other.
But the deed will soon be trans
ferred, for the city commissioners at
their regular meeting this morning
voted an appropriation of $4,000 to be
taken out of the general fund. which
will pay up every penny Of the city's
Indebtedness for the park.
Ripley park was purchased .hree
years ago by the city under>the con-
ditions that $4,000 a year would be
paid on 1t until the entire amount
of $4,000 had been paid. The ap-
preparation allowed this morning was

COAL SHORTAGE OF
10000 900 TONS
FUEL ADMINISTRATOR SAYS
GREATER PRODUCTION THAN
EVER REACHED IS NEcEs-
sARY.

Philadelphia. Pa. May 2o.-The
production Of coal in the United
States for the year beginning April
I must reach $4,000, 900 net tons,
J. ID. A. Morrow, general director Of
distribution Of the United States
Fuel Administration. told the Ma
tional Coal Association In convention
here. This means an increase Of
So, 900. 900 tons over the production
Of the coal year 1917, IL the war de-
mands Of the country are to be met
II Is doubtful. Mr.. Morrow said, IL
the production Of anthracite coal can
be increased over last years total Of
80. 100000 gross tons. Therefore
The entire s5,000,0OO tons must come
from the bituminous mines.
To meet these requirements Il will
be necessary to maintain an average
weekly production Of 1900. 900 tons
of bituminous. This quantity has not
been produced in any single week in
the history Of the bituminous coal in
dustry. The record weeks produc-
ton was 1885. 900 tons.
The output Of the bituminous mines
for April. the first month Of the new
coal year. was 47.000.00O tons.
Should this rate Of production be
maintained throughout the year, the
total output would be only $4,000
900 tons. Under the present esti-
mates Of necessary consumption, the
country at this rate Of production
would face bituminous coal short
age Of 100000 tons. Mr.. Morrow
said.

A CRUEL JoKE7

One Of our popular young ladies
played a cruel joke on her mother,
and this is how 1t happened. She ac-
cidently found love letter that her
father had written her mother in
their halcyon days Of courtship. She
read the letter TO her mother substi-
tuting her own name and that Of her
lover. The mother raved with anger
and stamped her foot in disgust for
bidding her daughter to have any
thing to do with a man who could
write such nonsensical stuff TO a
girl. She gave the letter to her
mother TO read and the home suddenly
became so quiet that she could hear
the snow fakes falling in the back
yard.-Princeton Leader.
