ProportionateIy Greater Than That of
Any Other Country.
Much has been said of the losses
frcm the war in Belgium. Serbia prob
ably lost more in proportion to her size
and population than any country in
Europe
The following will serve to give
those who have not made study Of
tine conditions in Serbia some idea CT
what the world war might have meant
to America had not such gallant little
countries as Belgium and Serbia stood
between this. country and the enemy.
Losses. expressed in dollars ran
something like this: Manufactured
goods, Sl5o,000,0O0: furniture and ma
ehinefy, ss0,00o,00o; jeweIry, s600e,-
GOO; Serbian silver COIN, 100000
three haryesfs, 1920 1000; requisi-
tons and damage to private concerns
$1600o90o0.

is to get other folks to "oive thought

nations of money and clothes.
Since the war began Serbia has lost
more than 100000 of her 100000
population Overcome by the relent-
less onrush of the enemy, she is still
staggering, dazed, blinded. crippled,
diseased, without food and without
clothes, unable TO comprehend what

CASE TO WILSON
Chicago Postal Employees Ask
for Court of Appeals.
"Unfair Treatment" and "TOO
Much Departmental Authority"

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Pierce E. Butler.
president of the Chicago Postal Clerks
union. and Harry W. Starr, assistant
city prosecutor and a former postal
clerk today were en- route to Washing
ton to appeal to President Wilson to
provide a court of appeals to act on
what the clerks term unfair treat
ment and too much departmental au-
thority.'
They also will eendeavor to enlist
national labor leaders in their behalf.
The delegations trip to Washington is
the result of charges of "unbecoming
conduct" sent from Washington
against ten local clerks who directed
publicity campaign for higher pay
and better working conditions" in the
Chicago postoffice. The men were or
dered to show cause within five days
why they should not lose their posi-
tions.
Threats of strike of the four thou
sand clerks in the Chicago postoffice
in the event the men are discharged
have been made but no action looking
to this step has been taken.
1t was stated today that the presi-
Dental candidates, Senator Harding
and Governor Cox would be asked to
declare themselves for a court of ap-
peals for such cases.

ALL HAIL TO JULY, 1920
Coolest and Best Crop Growing
Month in Years in Topeka
Rainfall 6.63 Inches.
(By s. d. Flora. q. s. MeteorOIOEIst.)

July, 1920 was one of the best crop
growing months and at the same time
one of the most pleasant summer
months Topeka has experienced for
several years, according to the de-
tailed summary of the Weather Bu-
reau. which shows that it was 5 de-
grees cooler than July of last year and
had more rain than any other month
in more than two years time, yet was
favored with more sunshiny weather

for IL months.

short periods extending from the 1st
to the 5th and the 21st to the oath
but it was sufficiently warm to keep
crops growing nicely. The highest
temperature was 90 degrees on the
Sd and the lowest 56 degrees on the
10th, making it the first July since
1916 without a temperature of 100
degrees on any day.
The total rainfall amounted TO $50
inches which is rs inches above nor
nal and the greatest amount of mois-
ture that has fallen in any month at
Topeka since May of 1918. A soaking
rain of 2.94 inches. falling within a
24-hour period on the 12-13th, put an
end TO a dry spell which had been
prevailing with more or less intensity
for a years time, and furnished more
moisture than mad fallen on any day

DOWN TO So LAST NIGHT
Part of Kansas Cold, Part Hot; Part
Wet, Part Dry.
TODAY'S TEMPERATUREs

1.-THE state OF Kansas is sadly d.
vided against itself.
The eastern portion of the state is
completely soaked with water, and
came within four degrees of a low
temperature record last night. The
western section is bone-dry with no
real rain for a long time, and it tied
the hot-weather record Sunday for
the United States. The temperature
Sunday in Hutchinson and Liberal,
Kan, and Phoenix. Ariz., was 102, the
highest reported in the United States.
At o'clock today the temperature
was 72 with prospects of going as high
as IS this afternoon. The low mark
tonight will probably be around 65. not
lower, and tomorrow the thermometer
will not read higher than 80.
Topeka has had no rain for the last
"a hours. and only .26 of an inch in
the last 4S hours. Eighty degrees was
the high mark Sunday in Topeka, and
the thermometer dropped to So last
night for the low mark; only four de-
grees below the low temperature rec
ord for Topeka on August the first.
Several rains fell over the state in
the last 4S hours. The heaviest are:

HITS COURT Law
Kansas City Judge Declares
Part Is Unconstitutional.
Persons Influencing Others to
Quit Work Not CuIpable.

Kansas City. Mo. Aug. 2.-One of
the heaviest blows yet delivered against
the Kansas industrial court law was
struck by Judge w. H. McCamish of
the Wyandotte county district court
today when he declared unconstitu-
tional a provision of the law making
liable to arrest persons influencing
others to quit work.
The opinion of Judge McCamish
was given in a decision in the case
switchmen arrested in April under sec
tion II. chapter % of the law. At the
trial in June. Scott based his defense
on the contention that the provision
was not within the title of the state
law as written.
'T find that the provision declaring
liable to arrest, persons influencing
article 2, of the Kansas State consti-
tuition" said Judge McCamish, ''in
that it is not clearly expressed in the
title of the state law.
In rendering its recent decision up
holding the authority of the Industrial
court to summon witnesses. the Kan
sas supreme court confined its study
of the case and its subsequent decision
strictly to that phase of problem and
did not touch upon question that lay
before me in this case" Judge Nc
Camish explained.
There is seemingly a confusion in
the state house regarding meaning of
the Wyandotte decision. Judge W. L.
Higgins of the court of industrial re-
lations, stated that the action before
the district court was taken by agree
ment in order to test the law before
the supreme court. He said the agree
ment was with the attorney generals 5
office.
Richard ]. Hopkins, attorney gen.
eral, stated this afternoon that he
knew nothing of the agreement. It
was later reported that A. c. Foster,
assistant attorney general, entered into
the agreement for the department.
The appeal to the supreme court will
contest criminal features of the new
law which today are held unconstitu-
tional under the purported agreed de-
cision.
