ERNEST TUCKER HERE
Political Expert of Kansas City Star
Visits "Old Home Town."
Ernest Tucker, well known thruout
Kansas for years as newspaper re
porter In Wichita, reporter for the
Capital in Topeka, owner of the Shaw
nee Chief in Topeka and later reporter
for the State Journal in this city, is
visiting the "Old Home Town." Tuck
er i now -doing city politics for the
Star in Kansas City. He left the State
Journal several months ago to take up
this new work.
Tucker is on a vacation. He spent
a few days with his parents in Morrill,
Kan., up in Brown county. With Mrs.
Tucker and son Dean, he is visiting
airs. Tucker's parents. Mr. and Mrs.
A. L. Whitcomb, 1212 West Thirteenth
street.
Tucker undoubtedly is one of the
snout finished products of newspaper
workers ever graduated from Topeka.
His ability to "get" news, exceptional
as it is, is equaled by his ability to
write it. For a long period his court
house stories for the State Journal
mixed humor and pathos into the
evening's reading of the thousands of
su:soribers here.
On the Star with Tucker in Kansas
City are perhaps a dozen former To-1
peka .newspapermen. The habit of
"hitching their wagons to a Star" has
been almost a calamity to local news
paper offices. . ,

Escaped Britons Tell of Abuse
by the Bocfces. .
Were Jieaily Starred "When
They Reached Americans.
(By the Associated Press.)
With the American Army on the
Vesle, Tuesday, Aug. IS. Worn out
from fatigue and suffering from hun
ger, two escaped British prisoners
staggered Into the American lines,
north of the Vesle today. They had
escaped from a German pen after hav
ing been captured in the Marne fight
ing and It took them seven days and
nights to work their way to Fismette.
On the last lap of their Journey the
Britishers ran thru a German barrages
When they had identified themselves
the American soldiers offered them
their rations and scores of cigarettes.
Their rescue promised to be as danger-
oub physically as their journey be
tween the lines, when officers checked
the hospitality of the Americans.
Potato Bread, Soap, Coffee (?)
The Britishers said that the ration
given prisoners was' three-quarters
of a pound of potato bread, a pint of
thin vegetable soup and "coffee"
made of hawthorn berries. The al
lowance of a German soldier was the
same, only in somewhat greater quan
tity, occasionally supplemented by
horse meat.
It Is a common practice of the Ger
mans, the escaped men added, to beat
their prisoners with clubs and the
butts of rifles. Wounded prisoners,
they said were sent to hospitals only
when they were unable to walk, then
received little attention.
MISSOURI TO RATIFY '
V
Drys Sore of Majority for Federal
Amendment In Both Houses.
Kansas City, Aug. 14. The placing
of Missouri in the 'dry column and
the ratification of the naitonal prohi
bition amendment may depend upon
two votes cast for Ross E. Feaster for
the Democratic nomination for state
senator in the Sixteenth district. Of
ficial returns yesterday gave Feaster
3,177 votes, and the present Incum
bent, John Baldwin, 3,176. Henry.
Bates, St. Clair and Cedar counties
compose the district.
The nomination of Feaster tWs
election practically assured by tne
preponderance of Democratic votes In
the district gives the dry forces the
final vdte necessary to control the
Democratic caucus, thereby the power
of organizing the senate and abro
gating the two-thirds rule heretofore
used by the wets to throttle the drys
and dry legislation.
Fledges in the hands of the dry
forces, from both Republican and
Democratic nominees, indicate . that
both the senate and the house are
safely dry, and that the abrogation of
the two-thirds rule In the house will
permit the drys to easily ratify the
national amendment and to "put
over" such legislation as they may
choose, no matter what the outcome
of the general election may be. This
however, is not expected to material
ly affect the party lines as now con
stituted in the senate.
Patriotic Antolst.
Albany, N. T., Aug. 14. Automo
bilists would have the prayers of every
man in khaki if they followed the Idea
of a Florida man who passed though
here. On the winshield of his car
he had painted: "Any man In khaki is
welcome to a seat in this car. Hold
up your hand and I will stop." His
car and his sign have saved many a
tired Sammy long roads.

LAUDS SABOTAGE
Haywood Declares It Labor's
Best "Weapon.
Declares Capitalists Control
Publie Opinion.
' Chicago. Aug.' 14. Sabotage was
defined as the "biggest, strongest and
most wholesale weapon of the work
ing class" by 'William D. Haywood,
general secretary and treasurer of the
L w. W. at the trial here of 100 lead
ers of the organisation charged with
violation of the espionage law.
"We believe In using sabotage to
protect humanity and it Is an effect
ive means of accomplishing this de
sired result," said Haywood. "It pre
vents dishonest empl-jyers from adul
terating food products, cloth and other
necessities of life. My opinion Is that
sabotage, according to my definition
of it, must be used by the workers If
the capitalistic class Is to be put out
of business. It is the only practical
means of protecting humanity from
being robbed and poisoned."
Haywood accused New Tork capi
talists of controlling the press of the
country. He said at first it was plan
ned to obtain possession of Ao of the
hir dailies, but that it was found that
twenty-five newspapers were all that
were necessary to dominate pumic
opinion. ,
LASSIGNY IS

and Noyon and possibly the entire line
southward from Chaulnes. This would
have some effect on the enemys posi-1
tion eastward to Rheims, depending
on how far the Germans would have
to retire before reaching a new de
fensive line which most probably
would he thru Nesle and Quiscard
and based on Ham.
Field Marshal Haig reports that
since last Thursday the allies have
captured 28,000 prisoners and 600
guns. Several thousand machine guns
and much war material also were
taken.
Aerial Activity Intense.
Aerial activity continues intense.
German airmen are engaging the al
lied flyers in combat to prevent recon
naissance and bombing work. Forty
eight German machines were accounted
for Monday and seventy-four tons of
bombs dropped on military targets oe
hind the, enemy lines. Berlin reports
the shooting dow . of twenty-nine al
lied airplanes."
. No Heavr Fighting In Flanders.
Patrol activity continues in Flanders
but there are no indications that heavy
fighting Is about to begin there. Along
the Vesle the Germans have not re
peated their ineffectual attacks but
are bombarding the Franco-American
lines with high explosives and gas
shell. It is announced that th Amer
ican first army which has Just been
organized will hold the western front
"south of the, Marne," which prob
ably means from St. Mihlel to Switzer
land, where the allied positions are
near the German border or beyond it.
Much material damage was done at
Frankfort and Karlsruhe by recent
British aerial bombardments, accord
ing to reports received in Switzerland.
In Karlsruhe eleven persons were
killed and 26 injured.

German Newspaper Try to
Brace Up Public Morale.
Talk of Allied "Atrocities"
Germany Should Yield.
If
Amsterdam Aug.r-1 4. whilo-Tues
day's Berlin ; newspapers regard, .the
Anglo-French main thrust as parried
and at all events stopped by the ex
haustion of the attacking troops, the
journals in the Rhine country discuss
the situation in a much graver tone.
"Foch and Haig probably will con
tinue attacking on the Bomme. but
they' will never achieve more than
pyrrhlc victories which will assist in
the attrition of. their own force" says
Baron von Der Osten. the military
critic of the P.henisch Westfallsche
Zeitnn of "Essen. ' '
" Papers Urge Fortitude.
"Klsewhere the newspapers deem it
necessary editorially to brace, up the
nerves of the people of the Kheniseh
provinces, which seem to be badly
shaken. The Cologne Volke Zeltnng
appears to interpret popular appre
hensions wnen it speaKS or -mouier
impending ruthless-Anglo-French at

northwestern front," and says that
Germany follows the terrible struggle
with bated breath. In the next col
umn it inveighs against defeatism
which is "rearing Its head in Cologne.
DuBseldorf and elsewhere, even in Es
sen, where the people may be heard
grumbling "another defeat for us we
shall lose the war. We have nothing
to eat, no clothes, no shoes; we shall
starve and be utterly ruined." "
'- AS a cure for this state of mind, the
Volks Zeitiing administers an antidote
in the shape of a raging article about
the ' enemy '"wanting to murder, rob
and enslave German man,, women and
children."''-' - ';" '
The Weser Zeitiing of Bremen, with
ill concealed pessimism, regretfully
admits in Tuesday's issue that the
once derided American array is giving
much more trouble than was antici
pated, while the Frankfort Gazette pa
thetically pleads with the official
press bureau to tell the whole truth
"as far as possible."

Chicago, Aug. 14. Tho Tribune: Urain
It was said that the local pit element were
mostly on the bull side of corn .yesterday,
after being bearish and caught short Mon
day. Thev based their onerationa on the
hot and dry weather damaging tbe crap"
and on help from the outside iu the shape
of liberal buying orders. The latter, while
Increased somewhat, were not sufficient to
absorb the offerings and advance prices
ail day in the face of persistent Belling by
commission houses L which took the corn
on the recent break. The adftmee of 514 to,
cents from the .ow point oil Monday to
the high point of yesterday was regarded
as enough for the present by conservatives.
A nervous market is expected by tbe trade
for Borne time with weather an important
factor. Many damage reports on corn were
received and not given out They were iu
aome instances a reiteration of those prev
iously circulated. Tradera who believe that
seriona damage has been done to corn' are
bullish, while those who think that a later
crop of good corn will be secured in Iowa
and Illinois are bearish. Most of .the bears,
however, sell oa the breaks, while-the bulls
are content to take-profits on bulges. Brok
ers close to tbe wheat export couinanv had
it yesterday tbat-lt would not be in the 1
market for oats this week. Others had tt I
that no more purchases would be made for i
a much longer time. :
