SITUATION EASES
FurlOs Are Granted to French
Soldiers Again.
First Time Since German Of.
fenSive Started.

Paris, April 23.-The best poof that
there is no cause for anxiety is that
General Petain has decided to grant
furlos for the first time since the Ger
man offensive began. said Premier
Clemenceau on his retun to Paris
from a long visit to the French and
British front.
''Of course the premier added,
there can be no question of resum-
ing the system of regular leave to the
French soldiers as in normal periods,
but the tap has been turned a little"
Leaves of absence. also. are to be
resumed in the German army begin
n1nS with May. according to the Reu-
ter correspondent at British headquar-
tiers in France, who obtained this in
formation from German prisoners.
The correspondent added that this ac-
ton suggested that the enemy antici-
pates decision or the abandonment
of the offensive by then"

NEED HARD COAL
Shortage in Arkansas Grades a
Problem in Topeka.
Prices on Kansas Product Set
at $40 and $4.95.

Topeka, according to c. NJ. Fellows,
manager here for the Jackson-Walker
Coal company, is facing a shortage in
Arkansas anthracite and semi-an-
thracite coal. The condition, as it ap-
plies here, is general in territory draw
ing its consumption from the Arkan-
sas fields and the federal fuel direc-
tors for Missouri has charged that the
Arkansas mine owners are holding
back anthracite and semi-anthracite
production in order to push mine run
coal.
Coal companies, according to Fell
lows, are trying to iron out the prob
lem and find out whether or not it
will be possible to obtain a supply ade-
quate for this winter. If the shortage
is to continue, a good deal of depen-
dence will have to be put in blum
inouS coal
Indefinite prices in connection with
Kansas coal have been ironed out and
the mine price of Southern Kansas
nut and lump set at $40, the price
of the Usage district product being
S495.

SING ON STREET
School Children Will Boost for
Auction Sale.
They Will Help Junior Red
Cross Organization.
CHORUS IN PATRIOTIC WORK
Both White and COlored Pupils
Will Perform.
Big Crowd Expected at the
Saturday Sale.
CHORUS IN PATRIOTIC WORK

Topeka is to be transported back
thru the ages to the time when the
Troubadours wandered unhindered
thru the forests of southern France.
And like unto the welcome accorded
the troubadour of old is the reception
of the Topeka songsters expected to
be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Moons.
The publicity committee in charge
of advertising the sale for the benefit
of the Junior Red Cross has conceiv-
ed the idea of having a chorus of 800
chlldren's voices sing at various points
on Kansas avenue beginning tomor-
row noon. The spots chosen for the
noon appearance of the street sing
ers' are in front of EmahiZer's store,
Guilds music company, Roehr'S music
store and jenkins music company.
The concerts will be given at the noon
hour. and each day the chorus will
sing at each one of the designated
places.
All Children Will Sing.
According to the plans the chorus
tomorrow noon will be made up of
white children from the city schools
who will sing a number of patriotic
airs Thursday noon the colored chill
dren of the city schools will make up
the chorus and they will add a few
plantation melodies to the score of
patriotic airs. Friday noon the chorus
will be made up from the children in
the county schools who will be
brought to Topeka especially for the
occasion and the program will revert
to a straight score of patriotic music
All this Kansas avenue singing is
expected to bring Topeka out in force
for the big auction sale ON the state
house grounds Saturday. Riding
horses, pedigreed pigs, and blue rib
bon chickens, and live stock of all
kinds will be on sale for the benefit
of the Junior Red Cross. For the city
folk at the sale there will be enormous
quantities of canned fruit and vege-
tables.
Sell Many Goodies.
And the homemade jellies and pre-
serves which are already listed will
go far to touch the heart of the small
son of the society woman who is toe
busy tending to the affairs of her
clubs and social organizations to
make the home delicacies that her
small son likes. Everybody in the
county is urged to come to this sale
and buy something. The proceeds
are to be used to buy the materials
which the senior Red Cross chapter
of the city finds itself unable to fur
nish the Junior organization.

First Invasion of American
Soil Proved Disastrous.

With the Simple Villagers in New

invasion of American soil resulted in
the total decentralization of the enemy
force today.
The casualties included Kaiser Will

zollern princes. The engagement will
go down in history as the battle of
Fort Lee.

countryside were startled this morning
by the tread of martial feet. Peering
from their windows they oenelo me

grey uniforms and spiked helmets OF

chief Hun and the whole male por-
ton of his family.
Simple Arms, Too.
Did the villagers shout some Amer
lean version of ''kamerad ?" They dld
NOT.
Lacking modern equipment, such as
poison gas, liquid fire and tanks they
armed themselves with stones, bricks
second hand cans, and even de-
ceased cat or so. With these they
laid down a terrible barrage before
which the invaders faltered, broke
Dashed After Them.
The sturdy Americans dashed after
them in mad pursuit, making captive
the kaiser and his sons, whom they
proceeded to smite hip and thigh
The battle came to an abrupt end
when an irate little man, armed with
a megraphone, hurled himself into
the fray and wanted to know
''wotineu they spoiled all that film

There is some suspicion that the
"sirnple villagers" weren't so simple
after all But they just couldn't re

kaiser even tho he was only movie

Albert Leo, an extensive manufac-
turer of vinegar and preserved food
stuffs, Atchison, Kan, has purchased
the Otto Kuehne Preserving Co. plant
in North Topeka and will place it in
operation shortly it was announced
from Frank S. Thomas who a few
months ago bid the plant in on first
mortgage at sale ordered by Judge

here.
The Kuehne company became fin
ancially embarrassed about a year
ago. Thomas who represented the first
mulate a plan for extension by credi-
tors of the Indebtedness of about
s117, 200.
All Plans Failed.
Dissension among the creditors, how
ever, resulted in the plan falling thru,
according to Thomas. Following the
instigation of bankruptcy proceedings
an attempt was made to get the credi-
tors to operate the plant but this also
failed and Slonecker advertised extern
sively for some time for a buyer but
was unable to interest capital. The
property was finally sold by the court
! order and bid in by the first mort
gage interests.
Since that time, Thomas asserts,
were made by numerous concerns that
wanted special machinery but he in
sisted on holding the property intact,
his theory being that the intactness of
the property would aid materially in
| turning it into strong hands, amply
able to operate it to it's full capacity.

UP GOES BEEF PRICE
Retail Price Is Advanced in Kansas
City Ten Cents.

Kansas City, April 23.--The retail
price of beef was advanced ten cents
here today following a rise in whole
sale prices announced yesterday by
the packing companies. The new
prices quoted in circulars which were
issued to retailers show the largest
increase ever made in wholesale beef,
it was said.
Packers say the rise is due to the
recent big advance in the prices of
live cattle, which are $3.50 to So a
hundred pounds higher than at the
first of this month. Prime corn fed
steers sold around ST. a hundred
pounds today at the Kansas City
yards.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
ANY druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies, rashes, blacl1heads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain. is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

The play. written by two American
playwrishts. Messrs. Benrimo and
Hazelton, is the first American made
play to be performed broadcast in
Europe. 1t has been presented in
every capital city in the old world,
and has everywhere aroused so much
enthusiasm that plans were under
way to extend it among the less i'm
portant centers. The war temporarily
checked it's phenomenal progress in
Europe.
In America it has been played by
the Coburns. The verdict has been
almost unanimous for it as the most
unique, inspiring and wholesome en-
tertainment that has held the boards
for many years. Altho it purports to
be a tragic romance, the old Chinese
manner of presentation entertainS the
audience in much the same way as a
, group of children, very clever chill
dren, unsophisticated by any knowl-
edge of theatrical conventions, might
entertain with some beautiful flight of
dramatic fancy. The scenery is alb
sent, except for the color schemes and
trappings to give local color and Gre
ate atmosphere.
The club has been very successful in
assembling all the costumes and prop
critics that are needed to give the play
vivid and interesting presentation.
The Orpheum was chosen on account
Of its Chinese decorations and on ac-
count of the large seating capacity on
one floor. The one rehearsal already
conducted there shows the excellent
possibilities of a successful perform
, ance.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that the Washburn Dramatic club car
ries a heavy debt for improvements
on the campus, and that all the pro-
ceeds from its plays are devoted to the
paying of this debt. large part of
the red stone wall that decorates the
north side of the campus has been
paid for by the Dramatic club.
