The performance and the street pa
rade aside. there is no more interest
ing part of circus day than the build
ing of the white city which houses the
big show. In fact there are circus
fans in every city who would not think
of missing visit to the lot while the
tents are being placed. The music of
the stake drivers sledges and the bee
hive activity of the "canvasmen" hold
a fascination for many men, women
and children that causes them to get
out of bed before daylight and be on
hand to watch the busy scene.
All the circus fans in town are in
vited to watch the free exhibition of
skill and organization when the Bar
mum &sBailey Greatest Show on Earth
comes to Topeka July rs.
1t is an education as well as a de-
light to watch the arrival and estab-
lishment under canvas of a big, mod
ern circus. Get up at early dawn and
watch the unloading of the long
strings of circus cars in the railroad
yards. Then follow the procession of
red wagons to the show grounds and

First the commissary department
arrives on the lot. the dining and
kitchen tents are staked out, the can
vases unfolded and erected in the air,
and the huge range wagons placed in
position. Within twenty minutes after
the arrival of the first wagon on the
show lot, there is a fire in the range
and steam boiler wagons, and prepa-
rations are under way for breakfast.
First and foremost the circus recog-
nizes that an efficient organization is
impossible without proper nourish-
ment, and a meal is ready for the hun
dreds of workingmen within an hour
after the circus day has begun.
Exactly twenty acres of ground are
required to hold the city of white
tops" that shelters the Barnum &
Bailey circus this season. There are
thirty-two tents of assorted sizes that
house the various departments of the
circus. The working department of
the circus that builds and tears down
this great canvas city every day dur
ing the season consists of more than
700 men, divided into various gangs.

TRAINING TO BLAME
"SIouchiness, Mental and Physical"
Causes Rejection of Many.

Ann Arbor. Mich, July 10
"Slouchiness, mental and physical"
due to inadequate and careless public
school training, is registered as the
rejection cause of many candidates for
officers training camps by Adj. Gen.
H. E. Mccain in letter to President
Hutchins of the University of Michi
gan. Faults in the training of the
men in colleges, universities and pub
lie schools are blamed for a large
number of the reflections. General
Mccain points to recent survey of
officers camps made by Major Lind
sey Blayney.
Lack of grit is also listed as a
contributing cause. altho this does not
reflect upon the courage of the men,
according to Major Blayney's report,
but rather upon their staying qualities.
Graduates from military schools
make the most efficient student Of
ficers, the report says.

Amsterdam, July 16.-Attempts to

from the Aisne to the Marine, whole

Belgian refugee, who is now In the
United States. When the war broke
out he vas but six years Of age and
was attending a school in one of the
little Belgian towns that was later
Overrun by the German hordes. While
coming home from school one day his
parents told hi that the Germans had
invaded his town. A little later he was
hit by a frag 1T Of an aerial bomb
from a German plane. Getting up he
ran to his home and there saw his fam
ily killed Before his eyes. Francois did
now know what TO do, so he pushed
off In a rowboat. After rowing for a
day and night he was picked up by
sailors Of an American transport and
taken to the Municipal hospital In
Brest. He was treated there for about
six months and was finally discharged.
No n would adopt him so he wan
dered about the streets Of Brest with
some of his brother un%fortunates.
Whenever an American transport ar
rived at the port, he and his compan-
ions would rush to the wharf where
they would surely get something to eat
from some Of the sailors. This con-
tinued for about two years. Then the
men on the transport that had given
him food so many times decided to
make an American of him so they
adopted Francois. After making a
collection for him they decided TO send
him to school In the United States.
He is to be sent to the boys school at
