TIRES FOR GASOLINE
Omaha Taxi Drivers Had to Make
Trade to Continue Trip.

Dan Frasky and Mike Pitzel, drivers
of a big Winton Six, who were en-
deavoring to trade inner tubes for
gasoline in Topeka today aroused the
suspicion of the police and were taken
to police headquarters and held for
investiga ton. 1t was learned the two
boys had traded an automobile tire to
cover their room rent at the Chester
field hotel, in addition to offering to
trade inner tubes for gasoline. Two
girls, whom they say are their wives,
were with them.
The boys said they are Omaha taxi
cab drivers who took a party from
Omaha to Kansas City. They did cot
have any money when they reached
Topeka and had to get back home
and couldn't without gasoline A tele-
gram sent to the Omaha police today
asked for verificaton of the story.
Later in the day word was received
from Capt. Mike F. Dempsey, of the
Omaha police, that the car belonged
to a man for whom the boys worked
and advised that they be released.

This Is Number Necessary for
Farm Labor in Kansas.
Working Reserve Forces For
merly Wanted $4,000 Here.
VOLUNTEERS WILL MEET CRISIS
Call Is Issued by Those in
Charge of Campaign.
Estimates of Requirements in
= Every County Being Made.

Kansas will meet her farm labor
problems thru the enrolment of vol
unteer workers, according to predic-
of the enlistment of volunteer helpers
from the towns and cities. Estimates
late this afternoon by E. Z. Frizzell of
Larned and A. J. johnson of Wichita,
in charge of the working reserve cam
paign, place the farm needs for the
coming wheat harvest and crop plant
ing season at $4,000 men.
Based on estimates from over the
state, it is believed that a grand total
of between $4,000 and $4,000 men and
boys will be available for farm service.
This list of volunteer workers includes
boys and men between the ages of Is
and As years old. Several thousand
workers are already enrolled with the
state organizers and various employ
ment bureaus.
Only $4,000 Needed.
Recently we estimated that $4,000
men and boys would be needed on the
farms of the state this summer said
A. j. johnson. "Our figures are being
revised because of later returns from
over the state. 1t is now probable
that not more than 49, 900 additional
farm workers will be needed. In view
of the progress made thus. far. there
should be little if any difficulty il
enrolling a sufficient number of men
and boys to do the work. Facts are,
we expected to be able to meet the
original estimated demand for $4,000
workers"
Estimates will be made concerning
farm needs in every county. AS soon
as these estimates are available, the
men and boys will be sent into locali-
ties in immediate need of farm labor

ENEMY GUNNERS
Continued from Page One,


the Germans displayed any marked
infantry activity and while the attacks
north of KENNEL and south of Albert
apparently were not in great strength
they were made against the vital Sec
tors of the two German driven sahents
and where the enemy probably will
launch his next heavy attempt or
attempts. 1t is not unlikely the at
tacks were made to ascertain the re-
suit of the German artillery fire which
continues exceedingly violent along
these sectors.
Considerable avtivity is reported to
be going on behind the German lines
in the region of Mont Didier where
the Americans hold a part of the al
lied line. French batteries have
broken up German troop concentra-
tions and conveys around Mont Didier
as well as near Noyon. The artillery
fire along the American zones in
Picardy and northwest of Toul has
been below normal.
In the Italian theater the artillery
firing is more lively. especially in the
Trentino and on the mountains from
Lake Garda to the Piave. Italian
troops on Monte Como have repulsed
further Austrian attempts to regain
the summit of the heights.
What Happened at Meeting?
Much interest is displayed in allied
capitals as to the meeting of the Ger
man and Austrian emperors and their
diplomatic and military assistants and
especially in the truth behind the ap-
parently purposely vague official
statement on it's results. That a more
firm alliance between the two coun-
tries has been cemented is certain and
it Is believed Austria Hungary has
been forced to make up for her de-
1inquencies as an ally of Germany by
getting deeper into the power of the
stronger nation.
Developments in the near future it
| is felt probably will show whether
Emperor Charles has been compelled
to renew the offensive against Italy or
to send large members of his troops
to aid the exhausted Germans on the
western front.
The emperors, according to German
newspapers, picked out rulers for Po-
land and the occupied portions of
and Esthonia. The names of those
appointed to reign over these border
states are not disclosed.
A Big Assault Yesterday.
London, May 15.-The heaviest as
sault undertaken by the Germans in
several days-an attack a front of
nearly mile, southwest of Morlan-
court, between the Somme and the
Ancre, yesterday morning-was a
complete failure.
| Field Marshal Haigs report de-
| clared that after the enemy had sue
ceeded in entering the lines at one
point the Australians counter attacked
| and fully re-esta blished their posi-
lions. The enemy's losses were heavy.
and more than fifty prisoners were
taken. The British casualties were
| light.
