WHEN JACK COMES HOME.

One of the first questions OF the
newly accepted apprentice on Mer-
chant Marine training ship is, "Can
/ get leave to 60 home and see my
folks?"
It is barely possible that the
embryo sailor-lad is not SO anxious
to see his folks as he is to have his
folks see him. This is quite fitting
in the circumstances. He has some
thing to show them, to tell them.
that's worth while.
He has arrived as a patriotic
citizen performing his duty to his
country. He has the uniform OF
the Merchant Marine training SER
vice to show for 1t He has struck
his gait in life ana he wants his folks
and his friends. and, 1t is to be hoped.
some soft-eyed best girl. to know
all about it. He is proud Of his job.
and he wishes them all to be proud
of him, and with him.
j. For this reason the Recruiting
Service, which has charge OF the
training of youths for the merchant
fleets, encourages the tendency or
the apprentices on its training ships
to think of the people at home. 1t
endeavors to give the apprentices
reasonable furloughs for the purpose
OF visiting their homes. 1t puts the
Young man on his honor to come
back on time. knowing that his word
is enough to insure his return. II
nv mischance he fails to come back
on time, the Recruiting Service Of
fcials, know that he suffers in his
mind enough to purge his soul OF his
error. The returned prodigal who
has overstayed his leave is often
better man for his misstep.
There is something good for all
concerned in the sailor. even though

foreign lands. Sentiment clings to

COAL DRIVE LAUNCH
ED BY GARFIELD.

Washington.-To avert coal
famine this winter and also to meet
all the needs of the war program,
Fuel Administrator Garfield has
launched a drive for coal produc-
ton, which is to continue until April
l.
In formal proclamation to opera
tors and miners alike the Fuel Ad-
ministrator calls upon all to enlist
in detailed program to produce
12,234,OOO tons of bituminous coal
and 100000 tons of anthracite
every week. This tonnage, he prom
Uses. will give the country all the
coal needed this winter. 1t repres-
ents a weekly increase Of 1881 900
tons of bituminous and $4,000 tons
of anthracite over the weekly pro-
duction averages of the correspond
ing priod Of var ago.
The increase in bituminous pro-
duction called for is approximately
1917 per cent, and in anthracite
6 Ia per cent. 1t will be seen that
the more urgent demand is for the
speeding up of bituminous produc-
ton.
Garfield's call was transmitted to
every district production manager,
who. in consultation with their Mine
Production Committees, will appor-
ton weekly quota for each mine.
Carrying the quota idea to its logi-
cal conclusion, each miner will be
asked to assume personal response
bility for a weekly coal production
representing his equitable propor
tion of the mines allotment.
DIR. Garfield call attention to the
fact that the coal production of the
last three months has far exceeded
earliers expectations, despite the la
Dor shortage created by other war
activities.

MODERN BAYARD WITHOUT
FEAR AND REPROACH

In the shifting panorama of the
war General Sir Edmund H. II. Al
lenby now holds the center of the
stage, and his stupenduous feat in
the past week adds new glory to Bril-
fish arms. From the Adriatic to
the Aegean Sea the unspeakable
Turk and the despicable Hun fed
before his victorious troops in panic
and confusion. More than 10000
Turks surrendered in trembling fear.
and countless thousands fell to feed
the jackal and the buzzard. Thous-
ands of tons of supplies and am
munition, hundreds of guns have
fallen into the hands of the victors,
and the birthplace of Jesus. after
four centuries. is once more In
Christian hands.
Allenby the crusader. the Bayard
sans peur ct sans reproche. is the
man OF the hour. Opposed by the
obstacles of nature, tropic skies and
desert wastes, foe ruthless and
desperate, lighting for every inch OF
ground. familiar with the topogra-
ply of the territory, he moved
steadily forward to the goal he final
ly reached in triumph. Almost a
year ago Allenby inaugurated his
campaign. and the drive on Jeru-
salem began when GAIA fell. 1t

HAVE LOST 1,4OO MEN.
Loss Of ''IOwa's Pride" Dims Rain
bow Division.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 26.-Dur-
ing eight days fighting, ending Aug.
3, the 16Sth Infantry, Iowa's unit in
the Rainbow Division, lost 1,4OO
officers and men, or about so per
cent of the effective combatant
strength" according to Col. e. r.
Bennett, its commander.
This information is contained in a
letter from the colonel received to-
day by Lafayette Young, Sr.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1918-10-09

A writer at the time said: Dur
ing the next few days lame and ex-
hausted Turks, wounded and stragg-
ling soldiers whom the German mo-
tor lorry drivers refused to take up,
and Turkish officers shaken into
truthfulness by the extent OF their
defeat, brought news of their defeat
into Jerusalem. Munitions were
sent to Shechem or east to Jericho,
that the army was a rabble and the
retreat a stampede. The populace
was fleeing. Owners of the few
carriages left obtained $50 for
single seat from fugitives to She
chem. The cpmmanderb FASTENED
to Jerusalem. Enver Pasha hur-
ried from imperial headquarters,
and Falkenhayn came from Aleppo
to reorganize the beaten army.
Meanwhile, British troops had push
ed through the passes of the high
lands of Judea. They fought their
way to the valley of the Sorek, and
henceforth the sound of battle grew
louder day by day. On December
and fighting on the hills west Of
Jerusalem began, and the rapid adj
vance of the British from Hebron
sealed the doom of the enemy"
The surrender of the city December
9 lacked the spectacular incidents
usual to such epochal affairs. The
Governor was the last civil Off
Ger to depart from the city, and he
left in a cart belonging to Mr.. Yes
ter, an American resident. He in
trusted the Mayor with his letter of
surrender, and as the sun rose that
official set forth to deliver it to the
British commander, accompanied by
a few frightened policemen holding
two tremulous white flags. Three
weeks later the enemy attempted to
retake the city he had lost. Allenby
tried to avoid spilling blood within
the sanctuary Of three faiths, hut as
the pressure grew the lion leaped
again and tore the foe to shreds.
Allenby, the victor, was born
April 80, 1861. His military ca
reer began with the Inniskillen dra-
goons in Bechuanaland, and he
participated in the Zululand expedi-
Cub hn
commanded the Fifth Royal Irish
Lancers from 1902 to 1905, and was
transferred to the Fourth Cavalry
Brigade 1910. He held brief COM
mand on the Western front, where
he had no opportunity to show his
mettle or to distinguish himself.
He is a knight Commander Of the
Bath and Grand officer of the Lee
gion of Honor of France. Succeed
ing Sir Archibald Murray, he be-
came Commander in Chief of the
Egyptian forces in 1917. Mr..
Bonar Law, in announcing Allenby's
victory and the surrender of Jeru-
salem in the House of Commons,
and after paying an eloquent tribute
to the intrepid commander, said that
the capture had been in some degree
delayed in consequence of the great
care which had been taken to avoid
damage to sacred places in and
around the city. What a contrast
to the sack and devastation Of
Rheims and Louvain by the sacri-
legious Hun!

NAVY WILL DRAW 10000 MEN
FROM DRAFT MONTHLY.


program under which the navy and
the Marine Corps will secure the
men hereafter needed was announced
here by Secretary Daniels after con-
ferences with representatives Of his
department, the Marine Corps and
the Provost Marshal Generals office.
The navy is to have an average of
5000 men monthly, while the
Marine Corps will get 5000 monthly
for four months and 1900 each
month thereafter.
OF the navy's allotment of $4,000
it may enlist or enroll men who have
special qualifications for certain navy
work, but the remainder will come
from 1.-The run of the draft" navy Of
ficials cutting out skilled men to
meet as far as possible the special
needs of the service.
Men who now hold or may hereaf-
ter be gwen deferred classification, on
account of dependency, will be per-
mitted to enlist in the navy, as the
higher pay given is expected to do
away with the possibility of hard
ships to the dependents.
Those who have had previous SER
twice in the navy also will be permit
ed to re-enlist. In no case, however,
not even from the draft, will the
navy accept men who cannot read,
write and speak the English Ian
guage, nor will it accept men not
citizens of the United States or con-
scientious DIRECTORS.
Much the same system will be fol-
lowed in enlisting men both in the
navy and Marine Corps. Naval re-
cruiting stations will be known as
mobilization centers,' each having
a definite territory to serve and they
will be established at central points.
Marine Corps recruiting offices also
will be kept open.
Men desiring to enter either the
navy or marine corps will be requir
ed to make applications at the pro-
per recruiting Office, When men are
accepted for the navy the mobiliza-
ton officers will apply for them
through their draft boards. but in
the case of men qualified to enter the
marine corps the recruiting officer
will send request to the Provost
Marshal General for their enroll
ment, the Provost Marshal General
then will order the local boards hav-
ing jurisdiction to enroll them.
Naval mobilization points were
announced by Secretary Daniels as
follows:
Boston-Mobilizati point for
Maine, New hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhone Island and
Connecticut.
New York City-For New York
and New Jersey.

quently We are able without making
light of the new German advance to
regard it calmly
The Times sees indications that the
whole line which the Germans as
saulted was manned rather lightly and
thinks it clear that the retirement was
a deliberate outcome of definite res
olution made swiftly in view of the
formidable character of the onslaught.
1t adds:
THE significance of the German ad-
advance to the Vesle converts the at
tack into an operation OF great i'm
portance and some menace. The loss
of the positions which the allies have
sacrificed so much to. maintain is a
regrettable development and we fear
that many heavy guns may have fallen
into the hands of the enemy"
Hope for Early. Check.
From the fact that the French still
hold the Vregny plateau and presum-
ably the Sermoice spur while the Brit
ish on the other wing are holding their
ground. the Times infers there is a
prospect that the enemy's main rush
in the center may be checked.

SAVED BY RIVER
Low Stage of Kaw Prevented
Much Damage Here.
Creeks and Streams Banked
Full of Water.

In all probabilities. only the low
stage of the Kaw river has prevented
the trouble caused by the heavy rain
Tuesday night from becoming ex
tremely serious here. The smaller
tributaries of the river in the vicinity
of Topeka were bank full this morn
ing, but the ample capacity of the Kaw
supplied a ready outlet for the excess
water. Had the river been high, the
water must necessarily have backed up
and flooded many districts in the low
er areas of the city.
Employees of the street department
found plenty to do this morning and
have been kept busy all day repairing
streets and bridges. The stone work
around the bridge over Ward creek on
Cherokee street between Shawnee and
Elmwood streets was washed out and
men working there today reported
that big job was ahead of them to
put the structure In shape again.
Biddlc Creek Overlooked.
Reports coming in from all over the
city this morning told of sunken sew
ers, cellars filled with water and
creeks on the verge of overflowing
Biddle creek. at its intersection with
East Sixth street was nearly two
blocks wide, but had fallen much low
err this afternoon. The creek is a
tributary of the Shunsanunga and
drains several miles of country south
east of the city. 1t was also feared
that the Shunganunga would over
flow, but at its highest stage it
still lacked about four feet of coming
up to any of the bridges.
The water last night was running
down several streets many inches deep.
due to the inability of the sewers to
carry away the deluge with sufficient
rapidity. while around the Rock Is
land and Santa Fe depots certain areas
were more than two feet under water.
Autos Were Stalled.
There were several reports of auto
mobiles being stalled, one taxicab
driver declaring that while driving on.
