Agricultural Feature.
The department of agriculture has

department had included in its display
the products of the farm which are
most essential in the prosecution OF
the war. Advance reports of The agr1-

especially designed to show the needs
of the nation as demanded from the

Other departments OF the govern

multitudinous activities that a govern

The management of the kaksas
Free Fair is to be commended for its
ments of the government and in se-
curing this splendid exhibit. To Sc
cure the government exhibit fairs had
to furnish 10000 square feet of floor
space and the acceptance of the pro-
posal of the government was required
by telegraph. The Kansas Free -Fair
management accepted the proposition
without delay and thereby secured the
war exhibit, while other fairs that hes
itated before taking action now find
themselves without the exhibit and
not included in the government tin
erary.
The United States government war
exhibit building was moved from
Vinewood park to the fair grounds
thru the liberal help of the Topeka
Railway company. 1t will be one of
the most comfortable and best ar
ranged exposition buildings of any
fair in the west and is a credit to the
big Topeka fair.
This fact follows as a matter of
course. Today there is hardly a family
in the United States with children
which has not at least one representa-
tive in either the army, the navy or the
marine corps. This exhibit by the war
an. navy departments is especially de-
signed to explain many things of in
terest in regard to the implements and
engines of modern warfare which the
K, mind has not yet been able to un-
derstand and grasp.

day. quoting Zurich advices. 1t was
reported that Hindenburg strongly
disapproved the offensive. plans and
when it collapsed he insisted that
Ludendorff sign the official commu-

Dispatches from The Hague de-

Hindenburg at headquarters and OBJ

German people. which was printed in
the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. This mes

nothing avenges itself like over-haste.
Breathing spaces between battles are
necessary"
Decisive Point Reached"
Rosner also quoted the kaiser as
saying to him:
The hardest work now lies before
the Germans. Our adversary knows
that the decisive point has been
reached and consequently is straining
every effort of defense and counter
stroke"
