Returning Month Early; Bring
Back 10000 Month Soon.

Washington, May 1O.-Demobiliza-
ton of the war army has passed the
two million mark, General March,
chief of staff, announced today and
the number of troops returned from
France now exceeds one million.
Leave 225,924 Abroad.
Official estimates of the general
staff show that continuation of the
present rate of transporting troops
from France will result in the reduc-
tion by August l OF the American
force in France and Germany to 225,-
925 officers and men, including COM
bat and service or supply troops, ma
rine detachments and the naval per-
sonnel attached to the army.
The movement from France during
the month of April totaled 303,17S.
General March said the acceleration of
the original schedule is proceeding to
the point where it seems certain that
the official estimate of 10000 per
month will be reached and exceeded.
Goth Coming This Month.
AS an example of the degree to
which the return of troops has been
expedited General March said the Goth

In April 3OS,17S men embarked

Seventeen Full Combat Divisions.
Seventeen combat divisions have
been returned from France complete,
General March stated. other divisions
are moving ahead of schedule and
should embark one or two weeks ear
lier than estimates stated, he said.
Americas steady increase in ton
mage has resulted in complete reversal
of figures for British and American
troop transportation. During the war
British ships carried 81 per cent of
American troops to France; United
States ships carried A per cent and
ships of other nations per cent. on

CRUSTY OLD Topeka!
Ex-President of United States Here
and None Paid Attention.

The old line Republicans and the

but they have succeeded until today
in keeping it under their campaign
hats.

William Howard Taft. ex-president
of the United States and one of the
greatest Americans of the age, known
and respected internationally. was in
Topeka about 10 days ago. Between
the bowed heads of negro porters he
stepped from Santa Fe Pullman.
Between the bowed heads of two more
Dorters he stepped on Rock Island
Pullman. Between the two stations
he walked. Up Fourth street and
down Kansas avenue.
After a search he located a restau-
rant. In this restaurant he ate. Pay
ing his bill he walked out-the cash.

acknowledgement of the payment.
Topeka, busy in her local matters,
knew not. Pedestrians brushed by
and knew not Street car motormen
and motor car truckmen sounded their
warnings-and knew not. Local and
state political leaders vanished the
heels of their shoes on mahogany
desks-and knew not.
OF course Mr.. Taft carries no pub
licity agent. Nor does he. control tele-
graph, telephones and railroads-his
travels are unheralded.
Nevertheless he spent a half hour
or so along the avenue that has been
crowded in his honor, along a street
that has been decorated in his respect,
along a thorofare that has borne the
tread of proud horses and open car
riages in his tribute.
Topeka newspaper men who were
brought up in the smaller towns where
the days news was procured from
maxim the trains are chagrined.
Politicians are ashamed.
And Mr.. Taft-he probably was
never more relieved in his life.

Mother and Little Daughter We're
Burned to Death at HOyt.

Hoyt, Kan, May 10.-Funeral serv-
ices for Mrs. John Ulkey and her 12-
year-old daughter, Helen, who were
burned to death at their home four
miles west of here Wednesday, are
being held today. Floral decorations
were presented by the sympathetic
community.
The little girl was pouring coal oil
on a fire. The oil was in a two-gal-
lon can. 1t exploded and the flames
instantly caught on the clothes of the
girl, on the clothes of her mother and
father and another daughter seated at
table.
Helen rushed screa ming from the
house with her parents trying to get
to her to smother out the flames
The flames spread rapidly and before
the mother could reach her the little
girl was 400 badly burned be saved.
The mothers clothes also caught fire
and before they could be eXtinguished
she, too, was beyond saving. The
father and other daughter also were
badly burned.

The victory loan is the price the
United States paid thru its citizens for
the early peace. Money was spent in
heretofore unheard of amounts in or
der to place the United States in such
a position of military might that the
HUN was crushed at least year and a
half before il was thought possible.
And the victory loan was the means
py which the citizens of America paid
the big war debt. and paid the fare of
the fighting men from France to their
homes.
