Scranton, Pa. Aug. 22.-At the

of the war upon newspaper conditions
was discussed H. M. Kellogg of In
dfanapolis, chairman of the standing
committee of the American Newspaper

the fostering of a cooperative spirit
between the printers and the pub
fishers, especially in solving war prob

Mr.. Kellogg pointed out that sew

five newspapers formerly existed, a
recent survey found but twenty-four

Mr.. Kellogg also reported that 1913
newspapers are now paying bonuses
to employees above the wages required
by contracts.
"a great many newspapers in this
country are not breaking even at this
time" he continued. "a war very
greatly increases the expenses of a
newspaper. 1t does not bring any in
crease in net revenues, but on the
contrary, tends to reduce them.
"A considerable number of news
papers have advanced their selling
prices, but such increased receipts do
not equal the extra expenses caused
by the abnormal conditions"

JUST DIG FOR WATER
That Is All They Have To Do To Get
1t in Western Kansas.


According to State Meteorologist
Flora, the western part of Kansas has
underneath it large bodies of water
north and west Flora says that al
most any place on west from Newton
and Hutchinson, to the state line, wells
can be dug at depths ranging from rs
to 200 feet which will tap these sup
plies of water whic hare practically
inexhaustible. While it is true that
the streams and rivers are practically
dried up in the west, this is not un-
usual in the past in periods of drouth
and excessive heat of considerably less
duration than that which is now being
experienced in Kansas.
Flora says that the western part of
the state is unique in having a mo-
nopoly on this underground body of
moving water and that the eastern
half of the state has no emergency
supply of water tucked away under its
surface on which it may fall back in
case of the failure of the supply of
water obtained from the surface.
There may, perhaps. be some water
under the eastern half of Kansas, but
it is at far greater depths than it is
in the west, where it is essentially
close to the surface. There is no
reason" says s. z. Flora, why west
ern Kansas should not be in far bet
ter shape than eastern Kansas. il
water is the main consideration"
ern Kapsas, cattlemen should not an
ticipate any disaster to herds thru
lack of sufficient water while the dig
ging of additional wells should so i'm
prove water facilities as to make any
such occurrence an impossibility.

Flora estimates that the tempera-
ture will go to 95 this afternoon.
Tonight it will drop to around 20
These readings will be slightly cooler

Paris, Aug. 22.-The allies have
damaged six German armies since
July Is and the British armies are
now eating into the seventh with the
spread of the battle northward and
over front of seventy miles.
Whether the enemy is prepared or un-
prepared, allied efforts have had the

been out generated and outfought.
The armies attacked and damaged
in the past six weeks have been those
of Generals Won Einem, Won Mudra,
Won Boehn, Won Eben, Won Hut1er and
Won Der Marwitz.
1t is believed that Marshal Foch's
aim is not, as the Germans claim, to
pierce their line, but to strike sue
cession OF blows to cause the enemy
irreplaceable losses in men and ma
teriaI and to force him to make more
or less disastrous retreats.
Huns Forced to Expend Effectives
If that is the marshaPs plan he is
pursuing it with skill and unvarying
success. General Ludendorff is being
forced to expend his effectives out of
all proportion to his resources on a
given sector of the front, after which
another blow is struck home on an
other sector. At no place have the
Germans apparently been strong
enough to check the attack entirely.

there is unenviable enough at pre-

Vesle-Aisne line and go back to the

Military observers that are of an
optimistic turn of mind are convinced
that the Germans will end their de-
fense by falling back to the old Hin

very distant date. While that may
be SO the enemy shows no signs at

FOURTH SMALLEST CORN CROP
Hot Weather Has Done Great Dam
7-z. age. Reports Moblsr. -.zz-
Only 57,OO0,o00 Bushels Is Predicted
for This Season.

Hot weather and lack of moisture
have paralyzed the Kansas corn crop.
j. C. Mohler today estimated the state
yield at 57,54O,000 bushels-an aver
age of s.s5 bushels from the 6,15o,ooo
acres planted last spring. The crop
is 48,626,000 bushels less than the
1917 yield, and is the fourth smallest
corn production the state has known
in forty years.
Protracted dry weather in all of the
big corn producing counties of the
state has ruined early prospects of
a mammoth corn yield. Counties
with more than 100000 acres of corn
land. show conditions which point to
yield of nine to sixteen bushels an
acre. Smith and Jewell-for years
banner corn counties-will yield but
16 bushels an acre with paintings in
excess of 10000 acres each. Mar
shall county with 167,15O acres will
gather an average of nine bushels an
acre. Reno with 130,492 acres, will
average II bushels an acre. while
Phillips county with 140.S74. esti-
mates her yield at "A bushels an acre.
The above are among the
twelve top line corn producing coun-
ties of the state. They will yield a
million bushels or more each, their
aggregate being 3S per cent of the
states total crop.
Kansas winds and dry weather are
leaving their stamp on all growing
crops, Secretary Mohler reports. Sor-
ghums are % to 80 points above corn
and have withstood the hot weather
far better than the enormous corn
acreage. But stockmen are praying
for rains and grazing lands are parch-
ed E ID dry as the result of the Kansas
weather conditions of the last month
Early prospects for wheat are in
dicated by Mohler. He finds indica-

counties with a corresponding slump

DIVERT PROFITS TO HUNS
Conspiracy on Part of New York
Concern Is Revealed

New York, Aug. 22.-Charging that
a conspiracy existed to divert a large
part of the profits of the Bayer COM
pany, a concern recently seized by the
enemy alien property custodian, to the
benefit of Germany, federal officials
here have arrested five officers of the
Bayer company and they were in sep
arate jails today, placed there to make
certain there would be no communica-
ton between them.
1t is declared that the Bayer COM
pany, fearing seizure. by the govern
ment, contriVed before seizure came
to enter a contract with a Providence
company, which made it obligatory on
the part of the Bayer company to buy
the entire output of the Providence
firm, insuring it an enormous income.
This money, it is charged, was to be
used to purchase land in New Jersey,
thru which it was hoped to re-estab-
lish Germany's drug and chemical
business at the end of the war.

WANTED A REGULAR MAN
Caruso's Father-in-Law Hoped His
Daughter Would Not Marry a Voice.

New York, Aug. 22-Enrico Caruso,
world famous tenor, and, according
to himself, at least very near the
worlds happiest man, expects to be
received by Park Benjamin, his new
father-in-law at the end of the week.
Benjamin declared to newspapers
he had forbidden the marriage of his
25-year-old daughter to the 45-year-old
singer, but supposed the family would
make the best of it. He said his OBJ
jections were based on the differences
in the ages of the couple and the fact
that Caruso was not of the same ma
tionality as his daughter. He also
mentioned that he had hoped his
daughter would marry not a voice, nor
an orator, nor a rich man, but just
a plain, regular man.

German position from the Somme to

Slowly Flatten Out Lys Salient.
General Byng's successful attack
between Albert and Arras apparently

British maintain the pressure which

With the fall of Lassigny and the

to be relaxing. From Lassigny CEN

advanced to Mercatel, which is almost
on the old Hindenburg line as 1t was

1917. At Achiet-Le-Petit on the
southern end the attackers are within
four miles of Bapaume.
The Germans suffered heavy losses
in General Byng's surprise attack and
the number of prisoners and guns is
said to be increasing hourly.

situation facing newspapers, as well as
growing expenses for news and tele-

correspondingly less revenue from
