(Who arrived today from Russia-)
New York. Aug. 13.-They are
sweeping even Russia back into the
war. There is every reason to hope
now that next summer will bring res
toratfon of the eastern front. The abb
rogation of the Brest-Litovsk peace
treaty may be expected any moment.
That the end of the Bolshevik is
near has been pointed out repeatedly

evitable downfall of the Bolsheviki.
The late Count Mirbach's principal
work in Moscow was to prepare for
the downfall of the Bolsheviki and
similar to that of Skoropadsky in the
Ukraine. But Russia's passion for
freedom and unity has frustrated the
scheme of Germany.
Germans Can't Dominate.
There will be no Skoropadsky gov
ernment in Moscow. The constituent
assembly composed of an oyerwhelm-
ing majority of social-revolutionists
and socialists of the Menshevik group
are coming back into power. Their
i first act will be an announcement to

sia does not recognize it. An open in

ingly to get back into power to make

There is more anti-Gerhan feeling

Preparations for Greatest Mer-
chandising Feature in History.
Splendid Spirit on Part of To.
peka's Business Houses.

For two weeks strong advertise
ments have announced to the people
in Topeka's trade territory. the COM
ing of the biggest merchandising event

this sale have been under way for
two months, in fact since the last
Dollar Day held by Topeka merchants
in a collective manner. Committees
have been working overtime, securing
the necessary financial assistance and
preparing the advertising campaign to
announce the Suburban Harvest Sale.
Never before have the institutions in
Topeka taken hold of united move
ment so quickly and enthusiastically
as they have with the Suburban-Har-
vest Sale. Experience in the last lew
months in working harmoniously and
collectively has proven to the business
men. the feasibility of such action.
When the sale for Friday and Satur-
day, August 16 and II, was proposed
no soliciting by committees was neces-
sary, a letter to each head of an in
stitution brought enthusiastic re-
sponse and a check for the allotted
sum of money needed to give public
| ity to the sale.
Reduce the Prices.
] AS soon as the proposition relative
/ to holding Suburban-Harvest Sale was
determined, the management OF tht
| various store and business houses be
| gan, methodically, to arrange stocks
i reduce prices, plan clearance sales ane
quit business events. The institution
| to which the public looks for the an
! nouncements and showings of the new
fall stocks exerted special efforts t.
be ready with advance fall exhibition
| of fall and winter merchandise.
Thruout the entire city prepara
tions have gone ahead at feverisl
I pace and while cooperation ha
marked the work of advertising AM
publicity regarding the sale, the offer
ings and special sale events are base'
upon the keenest of competition
| Each institution guards the specia
sale or stunt with which it hopes t.
attract the attention of the purchaser
This sale is designated as "a Har
| vest Sale, and a truly harvest sale
is, a veritable harvest of bargains AM
