With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Monday, Sept. 16.-Plans are
already under way for the re-occupa-

territory Of the st. Mihiel salient from
which they were driven out four
years ago. and which was regained
last week in the American offensive
Scores of persons are requesting
American officers for permission to
return to their homes. One delegation
applied today for permission to return
to st. Mihiel or to send a committee
to recover money buried there. The
officers were told that when the
Germans appeared many persons fled
hastily and not knowing when the in
vasion would end, had buried in gar
dens and other places little stores of
gold, silver and Jewels

HUNS DO NOT AGREE
Prisoners Report Discord Between
German and Austrian Forces.
(By the AssociateQ Pres

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Tuesday, Sept. IL
German and Austrian prisoners taken
in the recent advance by the Ameri-
cans in this section displayed great in
tercst when they learned of the Aus
trian peace suggestion when the news
reached the camps where they were
taken after their capture. They made
no effort to conceal their discourage
ment when assured by the American
soldiers that peace is a long way off
unless Germany is willing to admit she
Is beaten.
Stories told by the prisoners nearly
all indicate a lack of harmony be-
tween the Austrians and Germans and
reflect the lowered morale of the cen
trail powers. The prisoners converse
ton shows that they realize the hope
lessness of success and their belief that
they are fighting for some some object
which to them is apparently not clear.
Individually the captured men are
in good condition. They are well
clothed, well fed and healthy.

Definite Amounts To Raise.

The campaign to raise $4,000 for

right now. The decision was reached
at a meeting of the campaign COM
mittee at the Chamber of Commerce
this noon. Practically every organiza-
tion or class of business in the city has
been assessed a certain number of
shares in the organization, and it is
expected that each organization will
accept the assignment and forthwith
proceed to the rapid raising of the
money.
& The $4,000 is to be collected in five
dollar units. distributed over a period
of three years. The idea is that If a
person subscribes for one unit he pays

the subscription, and promises to pay
the other ten dollars of his pledge in

GO TO LEGISLATURE
Graham VIII Carry Contest Beyond
State Canvass Board IL Necessary.

State Canvass Board IL Necessary.
Should he be denied favorable ac-
ton by the state canvassing board, A.
A. Graham of Topeka will go before
the state legislature in an effort to
win place on the supreme bench
Today he filed supplemental state
ment with the canvaSSing board, ask
ing that returns from Scott county be
rejected. Graham claims that elimina-
ton of counties in which the secretary
of states instructions were ignored,
will give him a lead of 1887 over Jus
ttce Rousseau A. Burch for the Repub-
lican nomination.
Graham's supplemental statement
today declares he has not slept on his
rights as a candidate for supreme
court justice. He recites difficulties
\ encountered in gathering primary in
formation from county clerks. and
asserts that in number of counties
where his name should have appeared
first on the ballot that Justice Burch
was given first place. This discrimi-
nation. he charges. was responsible
| for the returns. which gave Judge
| Burch lead OF 1887 votes in the
state
In his petition today, Graham asserts
that the state board may act on the
evidence presented, since names of
party nominees have not been certified
to county clerks. A long list of coun-
ties have been cited by Graham, where
he charges he was not given proper
position on the ballot under the law.
Scott county is the latest county which
the Topeka lawyer seeks to have elm
| mated from the records Judge
Burch received 1873 votes in Scott
| county
| Plans to take his case before the
state legislature, if necessary, were
revealed in today's supplemental
statement. No adjudication of this
case in court is going to be pleaded
as a bar to my right to present this
| contest to the legislature next winter. .
Graham recites in his petition, 'ff this
! board refuses consideration thereof
on its merits or puts its stamp of ap-
prevail on this fraud and these cor
rupt practices

VICTORIES DID II

Cause, Says. Daniels.

Annapolis, Md. Sept. 1s.-"Aus-
trials peace conference note. Ger
many's peace offer to Belgium and
the scream of the kaiser at ESSEN
were ALI due directly to the allied vic
tories, SECRETARY Daniels said today at
the graduation of 646 ensigns from the
naval academy.
IF the allied forces had not won
military victories" said Daniels, no
such remarkable speech as Wilhelm
made to the workers in krupps would
have been delivered, the tender to
Belgium would not have been made
and the Austrian feeler would not have
been put forth.
There is lesson for us today in
the sequence of these events said
Daniels. Military success is the only
argument that German militarists can
now understand.
THE allies advances are alone re-
sponslble for the offer of peace to
Belgium and the proposition of the
Austrian emperor for a conference.
THE American courage on land and
sea were the first notes of the peace
offensive. Having failed of their OBJ
jectives by brutal disregard of the hui
name standards of warfare, the Ger
man war lords and their associates
start a peace drive"

TO RECOGNIZE JUGO-SLAVS
An Official Standing for Subject PEG.
Die Next Allied Move.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-Recognition
of the Jugo-Slavs in Austria will be
President Wilson's next thrust at the
enemy, according to diplomatic Off
Gals here today.
Outright recognition of the fndepen-
dence of over six million JugoSlavs in
Austria Hungary will follow the blunt
dismissal of the Austrian attempt to
entice the allies into a secret peace
conference, authorities predicted.
Have Shown Loyalty.
Jugo-Slavs in the United States. for
merly Austrian subjects, have shown
their loyalty to the allies again by de-
feating an alleged Austrian socialist
coalition which attempted to get con-
troll of the convention of the National
Croatian society now meeting in Chi
cago. At the request of Secretary of
State Lansing. officials began work on
their brief setting forth the grounds
on which they will ask recognition.
Military aid to the allies as well as
political organization looking toward
indepen' ~rce are the grounds on
which the Jugo-Slavs will present their
case to the allies.
In the reorganized Serbian army
which has made advances in Mace

ALIENS TO HUTCHINSON
Biby and Meyers VIII Take Funston
Squad to Fair.

Squad to FAR. =
Today Kirk Meyers, chairman of the
four minute men. and Bling Bang Bill'
Billy leave for Camp Funston for the
purpose of organizing another alien
squad which they will take to the fair
at Hutchinson.
The squad will be similar to the one
brought to Topeka during fair week
and Biby's characteristic snappy
speeches will follow the same general
lines as was used in presenting the
individual men at the exhibitions here
in Topeka. AS at the fair here they
will undoubtedly prove one of the
strongest attractions. While in To-
peka at one of the theaters an en-
ploye remarked to the manager that
the squad was going over it's time.
Let 'em co. said the manager.
That's the best show that ever went
over these footlights.'
The alien squad idea is one of the
best ideas yet developing for CONSOLE
dating the various races represented
in the United States. A new squad will
be organized at Funston. for quite a
few of the men here last week have
since been transferred to other or
CARNATIONS and many of them have
| left Camp Funston. Meyers says it
will be no task to pick out another
squad of this kind as the foreign born
man beariA all the characteristics of
| his individual race is to be found in
most every company in the camp.

RAN INTO HER BUGGY
Mrs. j. A. Bux Says Autoist Then
Drove Away in the Dark.

Late Sunday night, on q road run
ming south near Shorey, an automobile
driver of more than ordinary reckless
ness and inability as a driver, struck a
horse and buggy which was occupied
by Mrs. ]. A. Bux. of 1927 North Mad
ison, and her 16-year-old son. Both
the car and the buggy were going in
the same direction. The driver gave
no indication of desiring to pass the
buggy. says Mrs. Bux, and just drove
right on into the back end of it. Both
occupants were thrown from the bug
gy and were knocked unconscious.
Despite the dazed and helpless con-
dition with which the force of the fall
left her, Mrs. Bux has a hazy recollec-
ton of the driver of the car asking
how much the damages would amount
to. The driver then informed her that
after talking with his brother he
would come back and settle with her.
and walked off down the road to the
car, she says. The boy. by this time
was able to be up. and Mrs. Bux sent
him after the man to get the number
OF the car but before he got close
enough to be able to read it, the lights
In the car were turned off and it ripped
off down the road. This is the last
that has been heard of the kind.

Homer Hoch Suggests He and Doc
little Help in Loan Drive.

Homer Hoch, of Marion. Republi-
can candidate for congress in the
Fourth district. wants to campaign
with Congressman Dudley Doolittle,
his Democrat opponent, during the
fourth liberty loan drive. Hoch has
written to Congressman Doolittle ask
ing that they refrain from discussion
of politics during the three weeks of
the loan drive and appeal to voters to
buy war bonds.
Copies of a letter which Hoch sent
to Congressman Doolittle. have been
sent to Republican congressional can
didates in other districts. While no
politics will be discussed under the
plan, Hoch has urged that the Repub-
lican candidates take advantage of the
opportunity to cover the districts with
their Democrat opponents and sell
war bonds. Hoch's plan provides that
both candidates speak at the same
place and that they made a trip thru
their district together.
