IT'S CAMOUFLAGE?
Where's Strong Army Kaiser Sent to
Pull Turks Out of Hole?
BY j. w. t. MASON.

New York, Jan. German reports
of a large recognized army unoer
command of General Won Falkenhayn,
preparing to block the British advance
in Palestine are discredited by the con-
tinuance of General Allenby's forward
movement north of Jerusalem.
1t is becoming apparent that the
kaiser is being driven to making eX-
travagant promises to the Turks which
he cannot carry out
General Allenby's procedure since
the capture of Jerusalem has shown
a large degree of caution, but at the
same time the uninterrupted activity
of the British army demonstrates that
there is no intention of the allies Pal

for strengthening the German lines in
France and Belgium is even more i'm
perative in view of Americas rapidly
looming power along the western line.
The kaiser has had to make his
choice between using troops released
from Russia either for helping Turkey
or bolstering his western front. He
has chosen the latter alternative.

ROYALTY IN THEATER
Ruby Darby Sang "Memphis Blues
Especially for Rajah Bill.

1t is not often that theatrical per-
formers in Topeka are requested to
appear before royalty with special
numbers, but Tuesday night Ruby
Darby was selected as the recipient
for this signal honor. Just before the
curtain for the second show, there
appeared at the ticket window
handsome buff-cochin blonde boy,
minister plenipotentiary of the king
of Darktown, Rajah Bill. Emissary
demanded audience with Manager

announced that His Royal Highness,

the evening the members of the COM
pany were discussing the bill for next
week, and if their own opinions are
worth anything at all as a criterion
for advance notice, Baby Mine" the
bill for the last half of the week will
be some show. Harry Leona WEIGH,

their talents but each one, collectively
and together promises a surprise the

to make up parts as they go along"
Other members of the cast expressed
the same determination to improve
temporary matters as the daily show.

RELIEVE TWO OFFICERS
Hofsington and Sharp Were Both
Active in National Guard Affairs.

Col. Perry M. Hoisington of New
ton, in command of the 18th infantry
at Camp Doniphan. and Lieut.. Col.
Alexander A. Sharp of Topeka, of the
139th infantry, also at Camp Doni-
phan, are to be relieved, according to
army reports. Colonel Hoisington is
said to have been unable to pass the
required physical examination. No
statement has been made concerning
the retirement of Colonel Sharp.
Colonel Hoisington has been active
in national guard affairs in the state
for number of years. A1tho he was
/ command of a regiment of national
guardsmen when the Spanish-Ameri-
can war was declared, his regiment,
the Second, was refused and Governor
Leedy sent volunteer units from the
state. AS a result of this action the
Newton man failed to go to the front
in the war. The probable retirement
of Colonel Hoisington because of
physical disabilities, has been fore
cast in military circles during the last
several weeks.
The commission of lieutenant colo
mel went to Colonel Sharp in June of
this year. Several of the Kansans
who drew commissions thru the state
department following the declaration
o. war have since been relieved from
service. Lieutenant Colonel Sharp en-
tered the national guard in 1901 as
a line officer and in 1907 was COM
miSSioned major.
