HUN NOT Beaten
He Is Only Balked--Prepare
for Another Big War.
That Is Word of Lieutenant
After German Tour.

New York, Feb 1.--"America, look
out-Germany is baked, but not
beaten" was the warning today of
Lieutenant Cha rles H. Duell, Jr.. who
arrived here today from England
Lieutenant Duell, member of a New
York law firm, fought through the
war in the United States navy. He
has just completed a tour of Germany.
The Germans, he declared. are look
ing for another war in thirty years.
The people tell you with pride that
the next generations of Germans will
show a production of two Germans to
every French boy" he said.
The Kaiserite spirit is still strong"
he asserted. IF France takes the
Saar valley with it's big German pop
ulation. that will be made the excuse
for the Lext German attack on
France" Duell predicted.
Germany is baked, but not beat
en- said Dueli. THAT is the senti-
ment turnout Germany today. Her
soldiers everywhere are being received
as heroes. Smoke pours from her fac
tories in the Rhine valley and else
where thruout Germany.
The kaiser is gone, apparently ban
lshed for all time. but 1 am not at all
sure that if he should suddenly re-
turn tomorrow, Germany would not
put aside her pretence of hate and
welcome him back. Ludendorff is
finished. He managed the great COM
mercial military enterprise and failed.
H1ndenburg still stands as the great
national hero.
1.-The Germans only ask for thirty
years to prepare for the next war.
The armistice was signed too soon.
Too months later would have been
better. Germany is not starving, nor
is food expensive. The first five days
[ was in Germany L actually gained
one pound and in the next ten days
added four more.
THE Germans all look perfectly
healthy, particularly those fat little
German boys with their rosy cheeks
which 1 have seen by the thousands
THE spirit of industry which made
Germany commercially successful is
still strong with these people and their
manufactured articles are piled sky
high awaiting shipment the moment
the blockade is lifted. They say they
now work harder and more thoroly
than the people of other nations-and
that it is only a question of time when
they will rise again."

SUPPORTS ALLEN CHARGE
Conditions of Army in France Star
Ting, Says Colonel Ristine.

Strong support of the charges of
Governor Allen and Gen. Charles I.
Martin regarding the Thirty-fifth di-
vision losses and management, have
come directly from France. The
charges are made in a. letter received
in Topeka from Col. Carl. L. Ristine
The letter which Colonel Ristine
wrote asserted that many startling
statements as to conditions in the
American army in France might be
made if the censorship were removed.
In his letter. which supports the gen.
eral contentious of the governor and
the adjutant general, Colonel Ristine
said:
There are many things which
would be very enlightening to the peo-
pie back home, if we only were per-
mitted to write and tell them about
the facts. For instance: If the faith
ers and mothers in the United States
only knew of the vast number who
have been sacrificed on the altar of
inefficiency. 1 think it would be en-
tightening information, and some day
[ hope the truth may be permitted to
come to light and that the people in
the United States will be permitted to
know who did and who did not per-
form efficiency in this great war"

BROKE ALL RECORDS
January MiIdness and Sunshine Most
Unusual in History.

January, 1919, broke all Topeka rec
ords for continued mild weather and
sunshine for the opening month of the
year. as shown by the summary just
completed by the weather bureau in
Topeka.
1t began with exceptionally cold
weather, even for January, culminat-
ing in minimum of 10 degrees below
zero on the 3rd. but beginning with
the 9Th, the temperature rose above
the 81 degree mark every afternoon
and did not fall below 25 degrees a.:
any time after the 18th, which is with
out parallel for this month in the
thirty-two years since the local weather
record was begun. The highest tenn
perature recorded was IS degrees on
the 29th.
The only measurable precipitation
was 90 inch of snowfall on the 4th.
which netted 0.06 inch of moisture
when melted. This is, with one excep-
ton, the least fall of moisture ever re-
corded in January, but the month
could not in any sense be called a dry
one as the heavy snow that was on the
ground when it began left the ground
more thoroly soaked than it had been
for a long time and country roads
were almost impossible a great part
of the time.
There were no cold waves and high,
chilling winds were conspicuous by
their unusual absence.
The ground was not more than
lightly frozen on top at any time and
when the snow finally disappeared on
the 18th the grass and wheat emerged
as green as in April and dandel1ons
bloomed in the open the last half of
the month. Wheat was probably new
err more promising at this time of the
year and furnished fine pasture where
the ground dried off enough to permit
of turning in stock.

lace
Wooden frocks have as dominant a
place as those of white pique or color
ed batiste. The velvet blouse which
has taken the place of a jacket. is one
of the garments that have been called
a stop gap between two warm spells
in the south 1t is rather fascinating
and will probably be taken up in all
the smart places as spring garment,
regardless of the weather.
This blouse has no visible fastening.
1t goes over the head thru a hole in
the neck and flares out from the hips
in the bell-shaped manner that the
Orient likes. 1t is a kind of abbrevi
ated minaret tunic, and it is worn with
any kind of separate skirt. 1t carries
its own lining of washable China silk
so that one does not need a wash
blouse beneath. which is always an
extravaganza to those who do not re-
move their jackets in public.
Trimmed With Angora For Warmth
The designers are not satisfied with
merely turning out velveteen blouse
for a cold spell in the South; they add
bits of angora to make sure that one
not only feels warm, but looks it OF
course, it is difficult for many design
ers to leave out angora; they would
put it on a night gown if they made
such garments They are as fascinat-
ed with it in this country as in France
and England, and the strange part of
! thru the decree for conservation of
wool 1t Knocked at the law, but it did
not break it, and therefore, it had its
own merits of pleasantly.
| The sketch shows a blouse that
| goes South. 1t is of black velveteen
! trimmed with bands of biscuit-colored
angora and worn with a biscuit-col-
ored skirt of heavy SILK jersey The
skirt is also trimmed with bands of
angora to weight it down and give it
an appearance of stolidity. The blouse
/ has two siZeable pockets which NAV
be intended for packages but which
! the modern young woman knows are
intended for her hands; for it will be
many a month before the Marine
swagger is abolished from fashion.
