A new foe for the kaiser the Kansas jack rabbit. Out in the "short grass" country of Kansas a new source of power has been found to be used in the war for democracy, the Kansas jack rabbit. Uncle has recognized the usefulness of the animal and already has planned to enlist his services in the fight against German autocracy. In the western and. central parts of the state jack rabbits'are found by the thousands. Always Kansas has relished a rabbit dinner. Why not make use of the rabbits by feeding them to the nation's soldiers? The idea sounded so good the government investigated and made, a contract with Coon. Beck, manager of River side park, Hutchinson, for ten car loads of them. The drive for the rabbits has be gun, tieck has started out a num ber of buyers who are offering 10 cents apiece for all rabbits delivered in good condition. To handle the rabbits as they arrive at Hutchinson, British Rollers Again Crushing Kaiser's Army (Continued From Pag One.) the attack of Tuesday, in which the British!"' in co-operation with the French, drove back the Germans along a front of seven miles and cap tured more than 2,000 prisoners. It is probable that the present ef fort is an attempt to clear the Ger mans from the remaining portions of the dominant ridge east of Ypres: Tuesday's attack gave the British more ground , on the ridge and left the Germans with only a small sec tion in the region of Passchendaele. The British now hold most of the good positions on the ridge, from which they dominate with their artil lery the important Roulers-Menin railroad and the railroad towns of Roulers, Staden and Menin. Apparently the present drive is be ing made under weather conditions similar to those which existed Tues day. . following several days of heavy rain, field Marshal naig threw his men forward and surprised the Ger- cold storage facilities have been pro vided. The rabbits will be cleaned at the storage plant, wrapped in paper and packed twelve in a box and shipped by the carload to the east. It has been pointed out that in ad dition to furnishing a source of meat, the killing qf the rabbits will be a great benefit to the farmers of the state, inasmuch as the animals feed on young alfalfa, corn and the choic est crops on the farm. The sports man who shoots rabbits this winter will aid the government by helping to increase the meat supply, assist the farmer by assisting him to save his crops, and will receive outdoor exer cise and pay for the powder he burns by selling the rabbits he kills at 10 cents each. It has been estimated that there are 5,000,000 jack rabbits in south western Kansas alone. Farther west the rabbits are thicker. The rabbit Season has not yet opened as the ani mals are not suitable for human con sirrm;in until jcold weather becomes general. "- , , mans, who dul not think that the British would attempt to attack while the battlefield was water-loed. Another Air Raid Over Belgium. London, Oct. 12.

Canada, too, has responded with five newly en franchised provinces: France is wait ing only to drive the foe from its soil to give its women political liber ty. "Such an array of victories gives us faith to believe that our own gov ernment wil soon folow the example of other allied nations and will also pledge votes to its women citizens as an earnest of its sincerity that we do fight for democracy." The call is signed . by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president and member of the national board. Moral Conditions "Awful Aboit Camp Stanley Washington, Oct. 12.
