II the Webb-Kenyon Law prohibit
ing the shipment of liquor into prohi-
bttiOn states was Illegally passed over
the veto of President Taft, then the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States was il
legally submitted to the states, S. NJ.
Brewster, attorney general, contends
IN the suit Of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad to prevent the state collect
ing fines for the shipment of liquor
into Kansas. The suit will be heard
next week in the supreme court. The
Missouri-Pacific contends that the
Webb-Kenyon Law did not have-a two
thirds majority of the entire member
ship Of Congress, but only two-thirds
majority of the members present,
therefore the law is worthless. The
company also asserts that Kansas is
attempting to take the company's
property without due process of law,
in violation of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution. In
his statement to the supreme court,
S. M. Brewster, attorney general,
shows that the Fourteenth Amend
ment did not have a two-thirds ma
jorfty of the entire Senate member
ship. The records of the Thirty-ninth
Congress show the facts.

ing the release of forty-one negro sol
diers now serving sentence in the fed

filed recently in the United States

states, was not empowered to call
such court-martial.

GERMANS ARENOW
IN FULL RETREAT
Allied Cavalry Pressing Huns
Into Virtual Rout North of
the Cambria Line.
SCORE OF TOWNS CAPTURED
Roches Continue to Set Fire to Every.
thing That Can Be Burned
Open Land Now.

Washington, Oct 1O.-The German
armies are in full flight before the
British, American and French forces
on the front between Cambria and ST.
Quentin Cambria, the strong point
of the enemy in this region, has been
taken by the Canadians in its entirety
and north of Cambria the Canadians
have deeply penetrated the German
line.
Out in the open, east of what once
was the old Hindenburg line, cavalry
is hustling the retreating foe in what
virtually amounts to a Tout
So fast is the retreat that columns
of the Allied troops in parade forma-
ton have passed through numerous
villages, completely out of contact
with the Germans.
More than 10000 prisoners and be-
tween 100 and 200 guns were cap
tured in Tuesdays fighting, and the
continuation of the battle on Wed
nesday resulted in further large cap
lures.
Twenty-Three Divisions Destroyed.
In the fighting twenty-three German
divisions than quarter of a
million men-haYe been severely man
handled.
The maximum depth of the advance
is between eight and ten miles. The
Germans are declared to be fleeing to
the east of LIE Cateau, one of the most
important railroad centers in this re-
gion.
Victory Is Widespread.
and, with General Foch's strategy
working smoothly in bending back the
German lines in one great converging
movement, the German apparently
are in a serious predicament From
the region northwest of Reims to the
Mouse river, north of Verdun, the
French and Americans are slowly but
surely pushing the Germans back
ward toward the Belgian border.
In Macedonia and Asiatic Turkey
the troops of the Entente still have
the enemy on the run. Nowhere is
the enemy able to do more than fight
retarding battles, giving ground when
the pressure becomes too strong
Sedan Line Next.
Where the enemy purpose to make
his next stand cannot be foretOld, but
probably an effort for a turn-about
will be attempted along the Va1en-
ciennes-Sedan front. After this line
the only known German defensive pO-
sition west of the Rhine is the Mouse
river The Americans already are
threatening to make this line unten-
able, having started an advance up the
valley on the eastern side of the
stream toward Sedan.
The maneuYers OF the French north
west Of Reims are cutting more deep
ly into the German line, despite the
serious resistance that is being offer
ed by the enemy to postpone the fall
Of the great st. Gobain massif and
the highly important strategic posi-
lions of Laon and La Fere, which
seemingly are likely to be pinched out
of the battle front by the successful
operations around st. Quentin and
Berry-au-Bac.

There is no peace in sight in Kan
sas for another year. More boy babies
were born in the first eight months of
this year than girl babies and, under
the old superstition, this means the
continuance of war for another year.
In 1913 nearly a thousand more boy
than girl babies were reported to the
state vital statistics department, and
the next year war was declared. In
the last eight months there were 12,-
81 boys and 12,157 girls born in
Kansas, according to birth certificates
registered with the state vital stats
tics department.
