The showers which fell last night
will not prevent the races at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. it was announced this
morning Only a heavy rain before
the opening hour can result in cancel
lation of today's card, it was declared
Altho the track was muddy this
morning. it was said the wind and sun
would dry it sufficiently by noon, so
that with a little working it could be
put in good shape. In the meantime,
lovers of the fleet horse flesh prayed
for a drouth.
Big Event the 2:20 Trot.
The big event of the day is the 2:2o
trot for the $1,000 bankers stake, the
biggest stake offered at any Kansas
fair. But the race of greatest inter-
est will be the Kansas Derby. II is
a one and one-eighth mile affair and
some of the finest horseflesh in the
country is entered. The record in this
event is 1:41, set by Jack Witt, in
1911. Last year Minnie H. made the
mile in 1:44
In addition to the 2:20 trot and the
Kansas Derby. there are three other
big events on today's card. The 2:14
pace for an added money purse esti-
mated at $500 promised almost as
much interest as either of the other
two events. The two running races
four and six furlongs-for 500 each
were to complete the program.
, The raising of $4,000 by Topeka
merchants to be offered the winners
this year resulted in the greatest array
of racing talent being entered that has
ever been seen in the history of the
Free Fair. Some of the fastest ami
mails on the western circuits will be
seen on the Topeka oval this week.
Nearly all the big racing stables in the
west are represented in the entries.
The big event on Tuesdays card will
be the 2:14 trot for the $1,000 mer-
2:25 trot for an added money purse
estimated at $500, in addition to the
running races" four and one-half,
five and seven furlongs.

bOLSHEv|K FORCES
SOVIET ARMY HAS BEGUN RE.
TREAT, APPARENTLY ON EVE
OF COMPLETE DISASTER.
The Gateway Of Escape Appears to
Have Been Closed, the Poles
Taking Prisoners and War
Materials in Quantities.

Warsaw.-The process of bOttling
northern front between Prussia and
the Vistula river has been completed,
according to an official statement.
the Poles have closed the gateway of
escape, taking prisoners and materials
in such quantities that it is impossible
to count them.
One Polish infantry division alone
took 5000 prisoners and sixteen guns.
The soviet forces which have been
menacing Lemberg from the east and
south, have commenced to retreat un-
der pressure due, the statement says,
to the continued Polish advance along
the entire central and northern fronts.
All the Russians in the Lemberg region
are in full retreat.
Twenty-Five cannon were taken dur
ing the advance on the central front
under the personal command of Presi-
dent Pilsudski, the Poles occupying
ZambrOv and MaZowieck southeast of
Lomza and crossing the line of the Ma
rev south of Bialystok, 100 miles
northwest of Warsaw. The Russian
retreat continued in the general direc-
ton of GrOdnO and eastward.
Soviet Russian armies which invad-
ed Poland and threatened to capture
Warsaw appear to be Oh the eve of
complete disaster, says the Warsaw
correspondent of the Paris Matin. He
quotes General Weygand as saying PO-
land will be the grave of three-fourths
Of the BOlshevik army" The CORE
spOndent declares the Bolsheviki will
soon be forced into hurried general
retreat, and that discipline has broken
down in their ranks.

HUNTING FOR DREAM HATS
Every Woman Feels That Some Day
II Will Be Her Fortune to
Discover One.

In the spring a woman's fancy light
" turns to thoughts of-hats. Every
woman feels that one day she will
find the dream hat, writer in the
London Daily Mail states. 1t may be
waiting Just around the corner In
some shop yet undiscovered. Or II
may be that the quest will 60 on for
weeks or months or years.
But one day she will And the hat
which will make her life a roseats
,,thing until 1t wears out or becomes
old-fashioned. Under the brim Of It
her eyes will shine like stars. Her
whole being will irradiate charm.
A decent balance at the bank gives
a comfortable air Of assurance to
many men. Silk stockings-not the
half-and.half sort-bring blissful
sense Of we'll being to most women.
But nothing can give the same poise
as the dream hat. To wear 1t is to be
q success.
"How we'll you are looking today!"
your friends say.
You know that 1t is the hat.
All the same, you are we'll. No one
could be Ill in the dream hat.
It conjures up thought Of soft mu.
sic, scents Of flowers, shaded lights
and the spring. What may not one
accomplish In such a haiti What ad.
ventures may not happenl
The hat must be subtle In its con.
ception. It must have enough color
to bring out the light in your eyes. but
not too much to deaden the color of
your hair. The line must be good and
accord with the contour Of your face.
Light and fanciful. there must be in
it a hint Of something a little pro-
vocative. a fantasy one could never as
sociate with jet and bangles.
But where Is the dream hat to be
found7 Ali II one only knew! Some
how, 1t still eludes ones search. Time
Is getting on. A hat you must have,
and so you must be content with the
second best.

ARCHERY HELD IN HONOR
Skill In Use Of the Bow Was Fostsred
In Every Way In the Twelfth
Century.

Archery in Scotland u as old as the
day Of William the Lion. The first
mention Of bows In the Statute book
occurred in the latter part Of the
twelfth century. On skin In use Of
the bow the safety Of Scotland had
for so long rested, that In the reign
Of William the Lion an act was passed
making It compulsory for every man
between the ages Of sixteen and sixty
to have weapons Of this description.
In war each bowman carried 16 heavy
and eight light shafts. The principal
weapon Of offense Of those bygone
days has long since degenerated into
q plaything.
The origin Of the Royal Company
Of Archers. the kings bodyguard. is
somewhat obscure, the first unas.
sailable record dating back no fur
Their than 1876. Some authorities
claim the company was formed by
James the First Of Scotland, who
chose bodyguard for himself. The
organization was permitted in 1879
to call itself His Majesty's CON-
pany Of Archers." and the first pa
rade in full uniform was held on
Leith Links on June II, 1877. Queen
Anne In 1704 granted the company
a royal charter. Sir Walter Scott
was a member Of the organization.

declaration Of her intention to abstain

Formal announcement that Il com

by the state department in the fol-
lowing statement:
1T was admitted at the state de-
partment that a communication had
been sent to the Polish government
on August q, expressing the hope that
the Polish government would find it
agreeable to issue declaration OF
Its intention to abstain from any ter
ritOrial aggression against Russia and
stating its purpose to remain within
the boundaries indicated by the peace
conference, pending an agreement as
| to its eastern frontier"
That representations of some sort
had been made to Poland regarding
the continuation of her counter
stroke against the soviet forces be-
yOnd her natural frontiers, was made
known by officials early in the week.
State department officials added to
the formal announcement the state
ment that informal assurances had
been received from the Polish gov
eminent, that the wishes of the Amer
lean government as expressed both in
the recent note to the Italian ambas-
sadOr and In the communication Of last
Saturday would be respected. The
American government 1t was stated,
had been assured that the Polish
armies In their victorious counter-Of-
fensive would not attempt to convert
the operations into an aggressive war

purpose of the United States to check
the operations of the Polish army so

to prevent Poland from putting herself
by aggressive warfare in a position
where she might be criticized for OBJ

Nashville, Tenn.-Certification Oh
Tennessee's ratification OF the federal
suffrage amendment has been sent
to Washington. On its receipt there
nv Secretary of State Colby, suffrage
advocates expect issuance of the 1or-
NAL proclamation making the amenu-
ment a part of the organic law OF the
land. and placing 22,OOO,OOO American
women on an equality with men at the

Governor Roberts placed the certi1i-
cation in the mail on Tuesday, after
receiving from State Attorney General
Thompson an opinion that writ OF
certiorari and supersedeas, issued by
Chief Justice Lansden OF the Iennes'
see supreme court, in effect set ASIDE
an order temporarily restraining the
governor from taking such action. Inc
Injunction was obtained by citizens OF
Nashville opposed to supffrage on the
plea that action on the amendment by
the present legislature was in violation
of the state constitution.
The action may transfer to WASH
ington the battle over legality of rati-
fication, antisuffrage leaders declaring
the American Constitutional league
was prepared to apply to the District
of Columbia supreme court, for an
order restraining Secretary Colby from
issuing the proclamation. SO far as
court action in Tennessee is concerned,
the only thing in prospect for the OPP
ponents is to request the supreme
court to fescind the individual action
of Justice Lansden. The court meets
in Knoxville September 20.
Announcement that Justice Lansden
had issued the writ, followed by the
statement that the governor had mailed
the certification, was bOmbshell in
the camp of the antisuffrage forces
and a surprise to the suffragists. There
had been no intimation such course
was planned.

fixed to the proclamation at his home

received from Governor Roberts Of
Tennessee the certificate that final fa-
vOrable action on the amendment had
been taken by the legislature of that
