MAJORITY FRENCH
Seventy Per Cent of Troops in
Drive Belong to Republic.
Remainder of Force Are Amer
leans, British and Italians.

Paris, July 24.-Important gains
were realized Tuesday by the allies,
particularly by the French troops that
are bearing seventy per cent of the
effort in which they vie in bravery
with the Americans. British and
Italians.
The Havas correspondent at the
front says the French are steadily
fighting toward Oulchy-Le-Ch Chateau
North of the Marine in an advance of
two kilometers (about 4 miles), the
allies took two farms and Barbillon
wood.
Huns Can't Avoid Retreat.
The fighting, he adds, surpasses in
violence that of the March and May
offensives and the Germans rapidly
are being worn out. The wild talk of
the German official statement, he says,
proves more than anything else the
confusion in Germany resulting from
the allied blow. The Germans may
delay their retreat by paying a costly
price, but the necessity of reconstruct
ing their general reserves will soon
oblige them to straighten their front
between scissors and Rheims.

for Next Months Draft.
Will Make $4,000 Men From
State in Only Months.
NO MORE IN CLASS | Then
Glass of 1918 VIII Be Drawn
From To Fill Quotas.
Six Thousand Whites and 500
Negroes for August.

Kansas 1raft quotas for August will
probably total $500 men. kilograms
received today from Provost Marshal
Crowder by Charles S. Huffman, ad-
jutant general, indicated that the
August calls would be equally as
heavy as those for July. The July
calls tota1led 6,52s men from this
state.
Recently the State Journal esti-
mated August calls at 5000 to $500.
This estimate was based on figures by
men in close touch with draft work in
Kansas. The Crowder kilograms to-
day made certain that the calls for
next month would equal those for
July.
In his telegram to the adjutant gen.
eral today, Crowder stated that Kan
sas would probably be asked for 5000
white men and a proportionate num-
ber of negro troops. Calls have al
ready been issued for nearly 1000
Kansans during the early part of next
month. Other calls. expected some
time in the next week or ten days, will
probably boost the grand total 4,5O0.
fake All of Glass 4.
Many men of the 1918 class will be
called to service in August. All class
1 from the 1917 registrations, both
whites and negroes, will be called in
August. Estimates in the adjutant
generals office today indicated the
state would easily be able to meet the
next month calls without invading de-
ferred classes September calls, how
ever, are expected to call all class L
men to the colors.
Included in the calls already re-
ceived for early August are 1000
whites for Fort Riley and 46S negroes
for Camp Funston. The call for ne
groes practically takes the entire class
of 1917 registrants. A subsequent call
for negro troops will require the in
duction of 1918 registrants.- In July
1000 negro pes were called, in addf-
ton to a special induction Of 103 men
for special training at Quindaro state
institute. The remaining 5,425 men
called in July were whites.
Would Deny Classification Changes.
Following receipt of kilograms from
Provost Marshal Crowder. General
Huffman asked permission to deny
changes in classifications for men
seeking special service. The purpose
of the request is to deny deferred
classifications to men now in class 1
that they may enter the navy or other
army service. Efforts will be made
to keep present advanced classes in
tact in order to fill induction calls.
In addition involuntary induction
orders for 1000 whites and 468 ne
groes in August, this state has also
been asked for $50 men for special
training at Kansas university. 100 men
for Washington university, five black
smiths and all limited service physi-
clans in class 1. The 4,500 additional
men to be taken from Kansas during
the coming month, will probably be
called into service late next month.

This is what he said in connection with
the statement:
THE State Journal is printing the
Troutman stories because it isn't get
ting enough political advertising from
Troutman, candidate for governor"
Nothing could be more 1udicrous.
Nothing could be farther from fact.
Nothing could be more ridiculous. The
State Journal feels deeply injured in
being accused of inspiring news thru
the advertising columns. 1t is utter
absurdity to think that this newspa-
per, read daily by thousands of Kan
sans and Topekans would base its in
formation to these people, on political
advertising-or any other kind of ad-
vertising. The advertising columns of
the State Journal are for sale at so
much a line or inch. The news col
umns are never for sale-and never
will be.
The Waters charge is preposterous.
1t is silly. It is not fit to consider
except for the fact that he might, thru
his acquaintances. make statements of
this kind on the street that would give
the State journal no opportunity to
deny.
No amount of advertising that Mr..
Troutman could do would suppress this
or any other news story-if the story
was true and was matter of official
record and fact. If other newspapers
care to disregard the actions of pub
lie board. it is their business-their
judgment. The township board of
Topeka represents the taxpayers of
this city and whatever action it takes
in public conference, available for the
public print, will be printed in the
State Journal--without fear or favor.
The records on this case are at the
courthouse. Look it them If you are
at all interested.
So far there is nothing Of a scan
da1ous nature in this John L. and
James A. Troutman affair. The State
JOuEHdl lldS Sdlu oOs MULLINS lACS
lar in their dealings have been charged
and the State Journal has made this
statement. 1t is controversy over
| the public's funds in connection with
poll tax collection and legal advice and
the public is concerned If the town
ship board sees fit to make it so.
Nothing anpers conscientious
newspaperman and conscientious
newspaper more than charges of lad
vertising' and "hush." newspaper
cannot be true to itself and the pub
lie by even considering such moves.
The newspa per is the information bu-
reau Of the public and the information
cannot be tainted-and will not be, so
far as the State Journal is concerned.

THE rRourMAN CASE.

The following statement relative to
the State Journals policy in printing
the facts that the present Topeka
township board has asked the Shaw
nee county commissioners to investi-
gate what the board thinks appears to
be an overpayment in fees to James
A. Troutman, lawyer, and candidate
for governor. for legal services op-
posing the paving of the West Tenth
street road, was received today from
Scott Kelsey:
State journal:
Your articles in regard to. the Tenth
street road litigation are unjust to the
Topeka Township board and to James A.
Troutman.
A great many of the tax-payers were
anxious that the board bring suit to test
the validity of the law under which it was
proposed to improve that road. The board
hesitated, and about twenty of the leading
taxpayers of the township got together,
discussed the situation, and requested the
board, by unanimous vote, to bring the
suit. James A. Troutman was asked to
submit a proposition, which he did. The
taxpayers recommended its acceptance.
After the litigation ended, another law
passed, making an entirely different dis
tribution of the cost, the board sought ad-
vice from the taxpayers committee as to
the settlement with the attorney. Mr..
Troutman's contract with the board pro-
vided that the retainer should be l accepted
in full payment, unless the action is sue
cessful," in which case he was to have
taxpayers that the action had been "suc-
cessful." The building Of the road had
been stopped. the old law repealed. and a
and should be paid They therefore rec
ommended to the township board that the
full amount stipulated in the contract be
paid. Final payment was made by the
new board, April 10. 1917, more than fif-
teen months ago, as the public records

Mr.. Kelsey says the State journal
stories have been unjust" to James
A. Troutman and the township board.
The stories as given out thru official
action of the township board and the
Gage Park Improvement club are
plain unvarnished facts. They were
gathered and published without COM
ment or favor. The State Journal new
er has doubted Mr.. Troutman's legal
right to any of the funds mentioned
This paper simply printed the facts as
they were made public by the town
ship officials. The State journal de-
MES .emphatically that the news items
concerning Mr. Troutman were unjust
If there has been an injustice done il
is on the part of the township board
The actions of this body in asking the
county commissioners for action in the
case We're wrinted in this paper with

other.
This newspaper has informed Johr
