WOMEN IN FHE LEAD
More Registrars for November Elec.
ton Than Ever Here.

If the registrations which closed
Friday night at the city hall may be
taken as a criterion of the coming
election, the vote will be preponder-
atingly feminine. Men candidates not
gifted with a normal share of personal
beauty had better withdraw from the
race at once. If there are any Adonis
men on the lists they may rest as
sured that their election is foregone
conclusion. Every day except one
women registrants have been in the
lead.
A few foreigners were disa ppointed
when informed that they would not be
allowed to vote in this election unless
naturalized citizens. Most of the PSI
women and 27S men registered Friday
did so after o'clock. 1t was the only
day the men led in number of regis
trations Approximately 1900 per-
sons have registered for the Novemb Der
election. Most of these are regular
voters who have changed their place
of residence since the last election.
In accordance with the influenza
regulations installed by Commissioner
Porter in the city hall. a policeman
was on duty Friday night to prevent
more than ten persons at one time in
the city clerks office.
The fact that there are so many
men gone from Topeka into either the
army or the navy will considerably
tighten the vote in the coming election.

TOpekan Was in the Big AID.
vance of July II.
Germans Left Bombs When
Forced To Retreat.

A. J. Stout is the recipient of a for
eign letter written on the blank side
of some German postcards. The letter
/ is from Charles Haynes, of the Haynes
family of Polk street. Haynes belongs
to the engineering corps of the army,
and in one of the advances of the
American troops, village fell into
their hands that had been occupied
continuously by the boches since 1914
A German first aid station was entered
/ by the Americans, and among the arti-
cles they found was q supply of sta
tionery, including the field postal
cards on which Haynes letter was
written.
Haynes writes: 1.-The boches were
occupying the village at a. M, and at

ia blished in their first aid station. OF

and large bridges for the artillery to
go over on. And then we act as re-
serves to be called in if we are need
ed. So you see we have pretty warm
time of it occasionally.
French Are Grateful.
"We have taken some villages that
have been in the German hands since
1919: Some French civilians were still
there, and we were the first Ameri-
cans they had seen. 1 never saw such
grateful people in all my life. BY the
time we had the Huns out of the way
the habitants-about sixty in one
village-were in the street and awe
struck to find that Americans were
their liberators. They rushed out and
kissed us after the French fashion.
"They had been told by the Ger
mans that a few Americans were in
| France but that most of them had
been sunk by the U-boats and that the
ones who had gotten over couldn't
fight. When the Germans retreated
they left bombs in the houses with
, time fuses. However. nearly all of
them were discovered before they did
any harm. The Hun is the dirtiest
| fighter in the world.

during each 15-minute inhalation.
The letter concludes: eff you have
a friend afflicted with pneumonia tell

About an hour after Hartmann's
