NIGHT RIDERS ACTIVE
They Distribute Handful Warnings
to Barton County Germans.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 10
Might Riders. Our motto-True-blue
Americanism. Our aim-to clean up
this county of German spies, German
sympathizers and dirty slackers. We
are now among you and know all of
those who are secretly traitors to
their country. And you may expect
a visit from US. There is no neutral
ground. You are either for or against
the government. Line up and get
right while you have a chance.
(Signed) BOSS RIDER.
This warning, printed on handbills
in bold faced type, was circulated
thru the eastern part of Barton coun-
ty, in a neighborhood strongly suS-
pected of pro-Germanism, by mem
bers of a mysterious organization who
visited the German settlements in
great numbers at night. Bills were
spread in a dozen places, far apart,
at practically the same hour, the
night rider leaving his message at the
door of a Germans house and then
announcing himself with a pistol
shot

Models and specifications for the

prepare for this standardization. If
the example of England is followed,
the tan shoe will go.
The standard war suits will be
made in a few designs of standardized
materials and with a retail price
fixed.
Rapidly rising prices on necessaries
resulting from the tremendous war
orders which are usurping the output
of clothing and shoe factories make
necessary firm action by the govern
ment to protect civilian consumers
Officials indicate that only stand
ardized clothing controlled by a
sweeping price fixing policy covering
every stage of manufacture from raw
material to the finished product will
save the country from economic diff
ficulties if the war continues.
The rapid rise in price of neces-
saries lately has alarmed officials.

HUNS HAVE NOT
 CHANGED HEART
Reorganization German Cabinet NJ Improvement, Washington
 Believes.

Washington, Oct. 5.-1n the news of reorganization of the German ca binet, involving retirement of Pan- German and extreme Conservatives clemtns and introduction of large admixture of Social Democrats, Li- berals and Clericals, official here find no indication of real change of heart on the part of the thorough ly frightened Imperial party.
 The cabinet changes are believed to be nothing more than a part of . plan to save the principal of au- tocratic control of the cabinet. while striving to make it appear not only to the German public but to Ger many's enemies outside that the. de- mand for the creation of respon- sihlc cabinet. whose existence shall be dependent entirely upon the will of the reichstag, has been granted.
 The condition is peculiarly inter- cst;ng to Washington officials owing to the often expressed determinations of President Wilson to deal hereaf- ter only with government that is actually representative of the will of the German people and not with one of the present autocratic form.

CAMBRIA AND DOUAI BEING BURNED BY
 FLEEING BOOBIES
Flames Accompanied By Ex- plosion In Which Huns
 Blow Up Stores.

With the British Army in France Oct. ,. (By The Associated Press.)- Great tongues of flame were shoot ing up today from the city of Douai aud more fires have been started in Cambrai. The Germans also have applied the torch to many villages in the Cambrai area.
 AS the flames and smoke rolled UP from the ruined places they were accompanied by explosions, in which the Germans blew up the stores they were unable to save and which they did not wish to leave behind, fear ing they would be used by the Brit ish to hasten the German retreat.
 It is evident th9t the Germans were prompted so1ty by rage in applying tEe torch to many of the places to wh!cH they set fire. They are de- stloying things of no military value to any one and the destruction of which simply adds to the general devastation of the country.
 Village after village in all the country east and southeast of Cam !blai and Douai i2 ablize. The Ger man is realizing that he must get out of this country and seems de- tel mined to lay it low in his spiteful fur. He has even set fire to the wreckage of ruined houses.

CHARGES FRAME UP'
Officials at Knoxville Indicted FOl Conspiracy and Fraud By
 Oyernment.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 5.-overn- ment officials, civil and military. to- day were engaged in examinations of the plant of the William J. Oliver Manufacturing company here, follow ing the arrest of Oliver and nine of- fic;als and employees of his shell making industry late yesterday on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the government in the output of defec. tive munitions of war.
 Oliver and his associates deny the charges. asserting that the arrests were due to frame up.' All were released on bond shortly after their arrest.
 The plant continued in operation today under the direction of T. P. Roberts, vice-president of the con- rany It was said that conference between Federal officials and offic- CTS of the company would be held

embarked, he said.
 "The news during the last weel from all fronts has been excellent, he continued "The three drives begun by the al lies on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday, have moved our line forward on front wider than ever affecting practically the entire line from tho sea to Verdun."
 Hutchins Sent Here. The return to this county of Brigad fer General Henry Hutchins, formerly with the Texas National Guard troops in France, was announced by General March who said General Pershing had asked permission to send this of ficer home. The reason for the trans fer was not announced. General March added that orders for General Hutchins' discharge from the service had not yet been received.
 Summarizing the news for the past week as excellent" General March said offensives conducted by the al- lies on three major sectors had result ed in forward movement of the bat tie front for practically the entire stretch from the North sea to Yer dun. General Gouraud's army. just west of the Argonne forest, has fought its way forward to a point where it also threatens German com munication.
 No Reports Received. ....
 General March added that no report had been received to show what American troops had been cut off and later rescued in the St. Quentin opera tion as stated in press reports. It was to be assumed, however, he said, that this unit belonged to the 27th division.
 Of the 3Oth division, General aMrch said the artillery brigade was now attached to the 89th division (kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona troops) and was not engaged near St. Quentin with the infanthy.
 The assignment of Brigadier Gen eral Hugh Johnson, formerly execu- tive officer for the provost marshal general and General Crowder's chief assistant during the first draft, to command brigade of the eighth div ision at Camp Fremont, Calif., was announced today.
 Delay In Casualties.
 General March explained that be- cause of communication difficulties in France and the extent of the fight ing there is some delay in checking up at organization headquarters and at receiving stations and hospitals back of the lines. He pointed out, how ever, that although just across the channel from the theatre of war, England experiences a delay of ap- proximately four weeks in making public casualty lists less complete than those given out in this country.
 There was nothing, Senators said after the conference, to indicate the extent of the American casualties in battles now raging. Reports received by the war department, show that the fighting has been intense and that the German resistance on the

GERMAN REPORT DENIES
 ALLIES MAKE GAINS.

Amsterdam, Oct. 5.-A Ger man supplementary official report today claims that the attack of the French and Am erican divisions in Champag- ne from north of St. Marie-A- Py to Mont Hois, was a fail
 ure, according to advices re- ceived here from Berlin.
 The report says the attack
 was supported by tanks and
 partly carried out by fresh , forces.
 Berlin alleges that partial
 attacks on both sides of the Aisne met a like fate. The statement concludes:
 Between the Argonne and the Mouse, after drum fire that reached to the eastern bank of the Mouse, the Ameri- cans tried to break through in mass onslaught of infan- try and tanks, which in places was repeated seven times.
 "They were completely re- pulsed with the heaviest loss , es."

Despite Stiffening Resist. ance of Enemy Yankes
 Continue Advance.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The great trunk railway system near the Belgian border which feeds the whole central arch of the German lines in France is the goal of the First American army, which, General March, chief of staff, said today, is making rapid pro- gress.
 Official dispatches show the Americans to be eighteen miles from the nearest point on the important railroad, General March said.
 Resistance Stiff.
 Reports today have indicated that despite stiffening German resistance the American forces are pushing on ward and the distance to the goal is being cut down rapidly.
 "The American divisions at that point," said General March today indicating the Mouse front on great war department map, threaten the main railroad line of communication from Germany to the west front, the railroad coming through Germany and passing through Sedan and other places of historic military interest
 Important Artery.
 "It is the most important single artery of support of the German ar my.
 "The Americans have reached 2 point IS miles in direct line from that railroad"
 To back up that American effort General March showed that the flow of American troops to France con. tinues at rate of more than 2 quarter of a million a month.
