Queen Most Enthusiastic.

Queen Elizabeth was most enthusi.
astic about the voyage. telling about
1t wherever she went and whenever
any one asked the details of the trip.
Despite the fact that the queen has
ridden in airplanes before, she had
never been over the sea.
The king. who has for long time
taken much interest In airplanes, has
made many flights, so that among
friends in London he did not seem to
appear to think there was anything
particularly novel about his flight.
The queens maid of honor ard the
kings encourage came by boat and
rail. Whether the royal couple will
return by seaplane or by boat has not
been announced.
The Belgian monarchs were received
in England by Vice Admiral Sir Roger
J. B. Keyes. commanding the English
channel squadron. On being taken
ashore they motored to London.

ENEMY HAS GIVEN UP
HIS DRIVE ON CALAIS
Withdrawals in Flanders Point
to Changed Plans.
Germans Surrender Ground
Necessary To Attack.
SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY
British Deal Local Attacks,
Gaining Considerable Ground.
German Counter Attacks Prove
Fruitless of Amy Gain.
(By the Associated Press.)


With the British Army in France.
Aug. 2O.-By withdrawing their forces
in the Merville sector of the Lys
salient, the Germans definitely have
given up one of the points from which
a drive for Calais logically would be
launched. This is taken to indicate
that the German high command has.
at least for the time being, abandoned
hope of reaching the coast and now,
perhaps, is chiefly concerned with get
ting German lines back to a place of
greater security.
The withdrawal here has been eX-
pected for some time. and it continued
last night and today even on a slightly
broader front than that of yesterday.
The retirement marked the conclusion
and failure of the effort which Ger
many launched early in the spring to
finish off, the British army by driy-
ing thru to the sea.
Other Withdrawals continue and the
British. taking advantage of the OPP
portunity, have at various places
pushed forward where the enemy has
left small garrisons. The British also
have battered into the enemy at places
where ne was not quite ready to re-
tire, such as between Vieux-Berquin
and the Hazebrouck- Bailleul railway.
Here a local operation gained all the
detectives. the British advancing their
positions some distance and capturing
one officer and ISL of other ranks.

If Weather Turns Hotter Pa
irons Must Go Without.
But 1t Is Believed That Manu-
features Will Suffice.
SHIPPING ICE TO FUNSTON
No Reserve Supply on Hand,
City Delivery Informs.
Daily Production From $50 to
275 Tons in Topeka.

Only moderate or cooler weather
will prevent an ice famine in Topeka.
Just now the production is equal to
the demand and a little ice is supplied
for Camp Funston. But there is no
reserve in the city and a couple of
weeks of hot weather would occasion
drastic orders.
At the offices of the City Ice Co. to-
day. G. T. Lawrence stated that the
production was equal to the demand,
but that the city could not meet re-
quirements caused by a week or ten
days of severe weather. Daily pro-
duction ranges from $50 to PTS tons.
Lawrence said. which is equal to the
city's normal demands.
just So 1t Isn't Hotter.
1--WE can care for the local situation
so long as it doesn't get hotter" said
Lawrence, land a little cool weather
would enable US to build up a little re-
serve. I don't think ice is being shipped
from Topeka. except possibly a linz
tied supply to Camp Funston"
There is no prospect that the regu-
lation against Sunday deliveries will
be lifted. Lawrence explained that
the drivers enjoyed their Sundays of
and the consumers would have to
make the most of it.
I'VE can't do anything SO long as
the labor situation is unchanged,'
Lawrence stated
He said the order against Sunday
deliveries was made on motion of the
ice producers, backed by demands OF
the employees. No approval or direc-
ton had come from Walter p. Innes
state food administrator.
In bulletin today, Innes stated
that the shortage of ice is acute in two
towns have consumed their reserve
supplies.

WON BATTLE WITH SUBMARINE
TorpedOcs Missed and Sub and Ship
Both Opened Fire.
Ship Scored a Hit and Crew Believed
U-Boat Destroyed.

Washington, Aug. 20.-A big 400
foot German submarine was sunk
off the Atlantic coast by the
gun crew of British tanker, accord
ing to an officer of the tanker. The
tale of the battle between the tanker
and U-boat was told today by John
Crosby, chief mate of the former
from his bed in a hospital, where he is
being treated for shock. Crosby is
said to be in a serious condition. A
remarkable feature of the case is that
he felt no ill effects during the en-
gagement which took place last Fri
day and was in good health until yes
terday morning. Then. safely in port
and beyond the reach of the 'undersea
pirate. he collapsed.
THE second mate was on the bridge
about o'clock in the afternoon"
Crosby said. There was never a sign
or any craft around but he caught the
streak made by a torpedo coming to-
ward the tanker. He yelled and the
ship was thrown out of her course.
The torpedo missed by a few feet.
Every one was on deck by that time,
but we saw nothing of the U-boat
that started the thing toward us.
what we did see was another tor
pedo. We zigzagged, lodging the mis-
sile just as prettily as could be. 1t
went by US. Then the submarine
came out of the water with her guns
ready. She was all of 400 feet long
and could make seventeen knots an
hour. Our boat was good for eleven
and half knots, but we began to
go with the U-boat coming behind
| She opened up with her guns and the
| fight started. 1 was acting as spottea
| for the gunner, calling the shells a.
they kicked up the water about the U.
boat. Our twenty-sixth shell took the
| submarine right. She did not blow
up with a bang. What she did do was
1 to swing around S1n I'D lriF
| broadside on. We did not slow dowr
but made for port as swiftly as we
i could travel. ! am sure our shot de
stroyed the enemy craft"

Der of Commerce today went on rec
ord as being in favor of certain rec
concentrations to be presented to con-
gress by the United States Chamber
of Commerce on the subject of the
war-profits and excess-profits taxes

taken when a referendum sent out by
the national chamber was introduced
at the meeting today for final reading.
The vote taken today put the To-
peka Chamber of Commerce as stand
ing firmly for a few changes in the
present laws governing war taxes. The
important changes in the laws recon-
mended are: Recommends that cor
porations be allowed more deductions

tons. An enemy attack which de-
veloped here yesterday was COM
plete failure in every respect. the
Germans suffering heavy casualties.
Germans Gain Nothing.
While the Germans managed to
penetrate the British positions at two
points they were quickly hurled out
and the line this morning was COM
pletely restored. Not a single foot of
ground was gained by the enemy. Be-

WOULD SHOW THE COURT
in Robbins Assault Case
Asked That Electrician Demonstrate.

One way to make a case in court
more explicit is to demonstrate the
crime with which the defendant is
charged. Judge Rad NJ. Lee, of the
court of Topeka, is willing to witness
these demonstrations, but draws the
line on acting as the victim.
When Frank Robbins, a local cleo
trician. was on trial this morning,
charged with assault and battery on
the person of his wife, Irwin Snat-
finger. his attorney, asked that Rob-
bins demonstrate to the court now
hard he had struck his wife"
st beg pardon" interrupted Judge
Lee. 'but I would rather he would
demonstrate on the attorney for the
defense"
Mrs. Robbins contends that her
husband struck her violently, while
Robbins insisted that he only placed
his hand over her mouth in order to
cause her to refrain from a tongue
lashing she was giving his parents.
Judge Lee. after hearing the testimony.
decided that the defendant should be
fined 81 and costs.

5000 IN G. A. r. PARADE
Civil War Veterans in Portland
Marched Amid Shower of Roses.

Portland, Aug. 20.-Five thousand
men in blue tramped over carpet of
rose petals thru Portland streets to-
day in the parade of the fifty-second
Grand Army encampment.
Invigorated by the bright and brac-
ing northwest air and inspired by
Marching Through Georgia." they
threw back feeble shoulders and
stretched limbs for the long march.
The veterans appreciated the novelty
of the shower of rose petals that
greeted them when pretty girls show
cred them with natures confetti.
Closely following the column OF
Civil war comrades. came a unit of
ambulances ready to aid any soldier
who had overestimated his strength.
But the cool air was their best friend
and surprisingly few of the men of so
years dropped from the line. *
The scarcity of veterans was con-
cealed by swarm of camp followers
from allied organizations. together
with regiments of the spruce division
and home guard. Twenty thousand
people marched. A fife and drum
corps from Wisconsin was decided
hit.
