in Indiana, but throughout the United

the most livestock, providing it isn't

AFTER TREACHERY

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 10.-Grim-faced. be-
grimed and stained after several days
of desperate. continuous battle, a pla-
toon of marines was firing rapidly, but
calmly. and accurately at the Hun
ranks.
The foes numbers were in the ma
jority but the sea soldiers fire was
proving speedily evening.
Suddenly the Huns dropped their
rifles and cried "kamerad."
The marines waited for the sur
rendering enemy to approach. When
the foe came within 200 yards their
first lines dropped. They had been
dragging machine guns by ropes at
tached to their belts.
About thirty marines fell before
their comrades with a yell of rage
and revenge surged forward. The bay
onet let not a Hun survive.
This is another example of Teuton
treachery.. 1t is told by an officer and
two members of the platoon now in q

The Red Sox and Chicago Cubs
touched off a bonlbshell toward game
time today by refusing to go on the

demand for a readjustment of the

A committee of The players had met
the national commission earlier in the
day. The players then came to the
park and held a meeting in their
dressing rooms. After a long talk they
decided to call the commission at
once and say that they would not go
upon the field until a decision was
rendered.
No Players at 1855.
At 1855 o'clock not a player had
appeared upon the field and there
were reports that if the commissions
decision was against readjustment
of the players share in the game, the
Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs
would not go on with today's game.

COL. RICE is HERE
Fort Leavenworth Commander Visits
Fair To See Displays and Soldiers.

L EOrt LeaVenWOfth commander visits
Fair To See Displays and Soldiers.
One of the big exhibits at the Kan
sas Free Fair this week deserving of
special mention is the cattle, poultry
and hog display from the Farm colony
at Fort Leavenworth. The cattle part
of this display is especially good. The
animals are well cared for and their
records are among the finest of any
cattle in the grounds. The cattle are
all Holsteins. The poultry exhibit
from the Fort Leavenworth farm col
ony is made up largely of light Brah-
mas. and it is thought that there are
several blue ribbon pens and birds in
the flock.
The animals in the display are all
the product of the disciplinary bar
racks at Fort Leavenworth. The ami
mails and the poultry are all cared for
by the prisoners sentenced to terms at
the barracks.
Col. Sedgwick Rice, commander of
Fort Leavenworth, and commander of
the disciplinary barracks, was in To-
peka at the fair today looking over
| the exhibits and commenting on the
chances the army entries will have
when the judging is all complete. In
| his opinion at least the army animals
fered in the departments. Colonel
Rice was accompanied to Topeka by
his aide Capt. Harlow J. Fisk.
| Colonel Rice is the post command
] ant at Fort Leavenworth and as such
! he is largely responsible for the fine
showing made by the crack drill team
| which appears every afternoon and
/ night in front Of the grandstand a. tht
| fair grounds. OF course the direct
/ commander of the boys is Lieut.. H. w
/ Bafford-but to Colonel Rice belongs
| the credit of selecting the efficient
| commander for the crack company.
| At every appearance of the boys the
i crowd in the stands sits up AMI take:

rifle drill which every company mus
i master, and includes an exhibition o.
setting up exercises designed to show
the civilians of the nation the worl
that goes into the making of a soldier
In the exhibitions the drill compan,
acts as one man, every motion il
sychronized. and to the onlooker i
appears almost uncanny the precision
with which the movements are exc
