upon the papers of 394. while local
board No. 2 has reported on 203 men.
The majority of these men have been

making any claim whatever for de-

Monday, the drawing of numbers
will take place in Washington. AS
soon as this work is done, the order
of drawing will be sent to the various
boards and men already classified will
soon be in a position to know where
they stand in regard to priority of
calls and can make some estimate of
how much longer they may expect to
maintain their residence in Topeka.

YANk FLYERS BOLD
American Ayiators Bravely Aid
Doughboys in Attack.
(By the Associated Press)

With the American Corps Northwest
of Verdun, Friday, Sept. 27.-Ameri-
can observation aviators played their
customary important, tho little spec
tacular, part in the advance of Cen
eral Pershing's forces yesterday on
this front.
The American machines not only
carried out their assigned work but
themselves went over the offensive re-
peatedly and spent much time in at
lacking enemy formations.
The aviators returned to their
hangers at night with the wings of
their machines often riddled with bull
lets. A ground mist, especially in the
morning, necessitated their descend
ing to a level of only seyenty-five feet
above the fighting units. While over
the American infantry the aviators
encouraged the men and flew so low
that they could hail the advancing
fighters. One wounded man, lying
on the ground even turned over and
waved 'cheerily to a plane as it flew
chimes which sighted a big group of
Germans swooped down upon it. The
machine gun jammed just as the
aviator was about to fire. The ma
chine turned so that the observer
might fire when it was discovered
that the Germans were prisoners in
the hands of five American soldiers.
Another aviator saw a group OF
prisoners go by under escort of a
handful of Americans. The Germans
were manfully doing the goose step
at the bidding of their captors.
One pilot had SO narrow an escape
from death that the glass eye piece
was shot out of his goggles. Putting
up his hands to adjust the goggles,
another bullet graZed his thumb. Still
another pilot received an explosive
bullet thru the front of his outer fur
coat, setting it on fire. He was not
wounded.

KEEP FEED AT HOME
MilIers VIII Not Ship Out Bran and
Shorts in Future.

That Kansas bills will not be re-
quired to ship certain per cent of
by-products with every shipment of
flour that leaves the state is the in
formation that has been received by
Governor Capper from Food Admin
istrator Hoover. Hoover's ruling was
made following complaint by stock
men of the state that they were unable
to buy bran and shorts for their stock.
Millers asserted that their customers
required that certain per cent of
bran and shorts be shipped with every
order of flour and that this was partly
responsible for the fact that these by
products were hard to get in the state,
as much -four is shipped to other
states.
The Hoover order applies to Kansas,
Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado
and New Mexico.

HOLLANDS NEUTRALITY

The question whether, and to what ex-
tent, Holland is responsible for the con-
tinuation of the war by her food supplies
to Germany has caused controversy IN
the Dutch newspapers. {. ]. *. van Aalst,
head of The Netherlands Oversee Trust, in
his recent open letter to President Wilson,
pleaded for the removal of the American
governments embargo on food shipments
to Holland, one of his arguments beng
that the continuation of Hollands trade
with the Central powers, while of vital inn
portance to Holland itself, is of small &C
count, so far as aid and comfort to the En-
tentes enemies is concerned
An article in the Amsterdam Telegrat
from Entente side, and of American origin,
it is hinted,-replies to Mr.. van Aalst's
arguments by showing that according to
official Dutch statistics for 1916, there
were exported from Holland to Germany
of potatoes, potato -four butter, eggs, rice,
cheese, margarine sugar, fish, meat,
peas and beans, 91S,355 tons, sufficient to
feed 100000 soldiers for year
The same authority calculates that in
1916 Holland imported from overseas 918,-
251 tons of cereals, -four, cocoa, rice and
dried fruits. From these figures, it would
seem that Holland exported more than
twice the quantity she needed for the sus-
tenance of her own population hence the
restrictions placed upon these imports OF
the United States government would seem
to be entirely justified.
