Lift the Lid in Kansas.
Liquor Regulations Remain in
Force During Rehabilitation.

The Council of Defense was today
Notified of a telegram sent to Governor
Capper. from the secretary of war.
relative to the continued suppression
of tie liquor traffic during the Pc
Rod of rehabilitation The message
contained in the wire is to be sent to

question that has been repeatedly
raised since the signing of the armis-
the anti-hquor work that started dur
ing the war.
The telegram reads:
THE signing of the armistice IN no
way lessons the responsibility of civil
communities for the protection of SOL
diers in supPressing the sale of liquor.
All states and cities are not to release
the control which has been esta b}ished
or fail to carry on this excellent work.
The government purposes to leave no
measure unused in the continued re-
preston of the manufacture and sale
of nquor from now until such time
as the demobilizing is fully accom-
plished- The war department is de-
termined to return the soldiers to their
families and to civil life uncontami-
mated by disease. Reports of laxity
from your state, where so much has
been done, would be disaster to our
soldiers and their families. I am
telegraphing the larger cities of your
state according to above. You are
requested to telegraph this message
verbatim to mayors of all cities and
towns in your state"

$1,000 FLU CASES
That Is the Total in This State
Up to Date.
a,762 Deaths Have Been Re-
ported to DIR. Crumbine.
MANY UAREPORTED CASES
Grand Total May Reach , Fer
Cent of Population.
Death Tolls Have Been Greater
Than War Killings.
MANY UAREPORTED CASES

Influenza and pneumonia cases IN
Kansas-officially reported and unob-
served and unreported-have totaleo
nearly $1,000. Official reports show
about $1,000 cases. Deaths have oc-
Cured in s.25 per cent of the cases
CT a maximum death toll of 2.162.
Those were figures given out today py
DIR. s. j. Crumbine, secretary OF the
state board of health.
The known number of flu and
pneumonia cases have averaged SO
per cent of the state popuiation-or
$1,000 The maximum number OF
cases-including unobserved. unde-
fined and unreported-may bring the
grand total to per cent of the state
population. That would mean $4,000
cases. based on the states population
of 100000.
Disease Worse Than War.
Doctor Crumbine estimates that
>3.25 per cent of the cases in Kansas
have proven fata1-that in the face
OF much heavier toll in the east
BASED on the minimum figure the
number of fatal cases would be 1888.
Allowing for unobseryed and unre-
ported cases. it is probable that deaths
from the disease in Kansas have to-
tailed 2,762. At Camp Funston alone
more than !. 900 deaths have been re-
ported. Reports received today by
Doctor CYumbine showed that in the
period from September II to October
IS. army camp deaths from influenza
and pneumonia totaled 1876. while
the number of Americans killed at the
front during the entire war has been
but slightly more than 10000
Conditions in Kansas are improving.
Doctor Crumbine stated, aItho in the
coal mining districts of Cherokee and
Crawford counties a second epidemic
has appeared. Scores of new cases
have been reported in these two coun-
ties The state board is sending as
sistance into these localities.
Finney County Hard Hit.
Finney county is in the clutches of
cases have been reported in the coun-
ty and state aid has been asked. Scott
county is also waging a fight to con-
troll the disease and the, number of
deaths has occasioned alarm in both
counties. In Clark county 131 cases
were reported. with no deaths. In
many of the rural districts the death
rate has been below per cent of the
total stricken.
Marshall and Mitchell counties have
a number of flu cases. In neither
county. Doctor Crumbine stated, has
the situation become alarming. Re-
strictions have been lifted except in
some ten.-or-a 4dozen-eoanties of the
state.
A supply of serum has been received
by the state health department An
nouncement was made today that al
state employees applying for vaccina-
ton would receive free treatment. NJ
claims or guarantees are made con.
corning the benefits from use of the
serum. 1t is believed. however, tina
use OF the serum will mitigate tn,
severity and course of the disease
Where serum has been used the onl.

REAL BREAD AGAIN
Pure White Flour Can Again
Be Purchased Here.
Announcement Made Today by
Local Food Administrator.

The office of the local food admin
istration made announcement this aft
ernoon that, beginning today, pure
wheat -four can be purchased. and
that Topeka from this time on, may
eat white bread.
The first order restricting the use
of wheat demanded that the bread
making materials should be half flour
and half substitutes A few months
ago that order was changed. making it
possible to buy flour that was 80 per
cent wheat and 20 per cent substitute
The principal substitutes for wheat
that were used during the time of the
food regulation were corn flour, corn
meab barley flour. and also a great
deal of rice flour was in use
With the relaxing of the rules about
the use of wheat, comes an order that
permits hotel and restaurant keepers
to serve a heaping spoonful of sugar
instead of a level speenful. A maxi
mum of three pounds of sugar per
month per person is now allowed. and
the full months supply for a house.
hold may now be bought at once. Hith-
erto it was permitted to buy buy two
pounds at q time However. the gro
GER is still allowed not more than a
cent a pound profit.

T0PEKAh Is RELEASED
Lieut.. GARRISON Miaspaugh Among
L. S. Prisoners in Germany.

Official word was received today that
Germany had released all her Ameri-
can prisoners.
So far as is known, Topeka has lost
but one man to German captivity, and
he was taken when he was wounded.
Lieut.. Clarkson Millspaugh has been a
prisoner in German camp since one
of the early engagements in which
his command took part. A few COM
munications have come from him to
his mother. Mrs. F. r. Millspaugh. a
limited number of letters to be sent
by prisoners having been allowed by
the German military rule.
1t is probable that Lieutenant Mills
paugh will be one of the first of the
home coming heroes from the battle
front. 1t is supposed that prisoners
and those who have been wounded
will be sent back first.
Lieutenant Millspaugh took his
training at Camp Sheriden, ILL.,, having
entered the training school soon after
the declaration of war. Last summer
his people in Topeka received word of
his wounding and capture Before en-
tering the war he was in the lumber
business in Oklahoma

U. s. CASUALTIES
$4,000 Have Been Reported to
War Department.
October Reports Are Coming In
at This Time.

Washington, Nov 14.-Nearly 49,
900 American casualties have been re-
ported to the war department up to
today.
War department officials said there
is absolutely no way now of making
an accurate estimate of what the final
total will be.
Casualties for October are coming
in. Some of the most costly fighting
of the war occurred in that month.
Returning officers have said that the
casualties. including the slightly
wounded, whose cases were almost in
significant, would run past 200. 900.
However, war department officials
give no authority for such a claim and
the conservative. estimates 80 as low
as 100000.

The recurrence of the disease,
which was anticipated by the authori-

large crowds on the streets, has not
been noticeable as yet and it is very
possible that there will be no decided
increase due to the large gatherings
which have taken place.
