according to a statement by Meteor
ologist S! D. Flora today. The cold
will not be intense, however, tho to
those persons who have staged a pre-
mature change to B. V. DIS, the tenn
perature may seem like below zero.
incidentally many of these early
changers may find themselves suffer
ing from an attack of spring cold.
The temperature in Topeka tonight
will not go much below the freezing
point, posi- bly, to 80 degrees. April Z
is the average date for the last kill
ing frost of the Season so the frost
scheduled for tonight is not at all out
of place, Flora said. The lowest tenn
perature in Topeka during the last "a
hours was So degrees at O'Clock this
morning, this temperature being only
. degrees below the normal night tenn
perature for the date. The tempera-
ture this afternoon was not expected
to go above the As or so degree mark.
Tomorrow will be about the same as
TODAY. The wind was blowing IL
miles an hour from the northeast at
$3.50 o'clock this morning. The high
est temperature ever recorded in To-
peka on this date was IS degrees in
1893, and the lowest was 81 degrees in
1899.
The temperature at Oklaho ma City
this morning was A degrees. A cold
wind was blowing from the north and
the day at Doniphan was expected to
be a replica of the day in Topeka.
The forecast says cloudy and pos
sibly unsettled tonight and Thursday;
near freezing tonight

HESITATES 5 DAYS
Hindenburg Evidently Puzzled

Wary About Strength of Allies,

This has been perhaps 1.-THE quietest
day since the offensive began. The
Germans must have been hit hard,

The British blew up bridges over
which they retreated, but Hindenburs
has had ample time to repair them.
Probably the Germans are ready
for the second phase of their often

Likewise, whereas they had ninety

only tie remnants of this force, plus
the sparse fresh troops with which to
carry on their offensive over a 100
mile front.
Indications in the past few days are
that Hindenburs is trying to shorten
the active 1attle front by digging in
at certain places, permitting him to
oncentrate-probably south of the
Somme. He will be compelled again
to draw from garrisons in he quiet
sectors. He has already drawn twenty
eight divisions (336,000 men) from the
North sea end and thirty divisions
from the Swiss end of
the west front.
About 900 men-aImost half the
total on the west front-are concen-

problem now is how long he IAN keep

safeguarded against sheriff's sale for
