LONDON, Aug. 14, 5:30 p. m-—Great Britain, France and Russia have sent a sharp demand to Turkey for the immediate revatriation of the offi- cers and crews of the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau. It is reported that the two cruisers were met by Turkish vessels outside and escorted into the Dardanelles. There is no official confirmation of the actual purchase of the cruisers by Turkey, but the report to that effect is credited generally. An Exchange Telegraph Athens dis- patch says King Constantine, at the sug- gestion of the Premier and Minister of War, E. Venizelos, has called a confer- ence of all former Premiers and party leaders to determine the attitude of Greece in the face of Turkey’s purchase of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau from Germany. A Reuter news agency dispatch from Paris says advices received there from the Dardanelles declare that, contrary to the statement of the Turkish Gov- ernment, the German flag has not been lowered on the German cruisers Goeb2n and Breslau, nor have their crews been landed since their arrival in Turkish waters. A dispatch to the Daily News from Rome says: “Turkey’s purchase of the German cruisers Breslau and Goeben has made an unpleasant impression here. Italy probably will demand an explana- tion as to the future use of these ships and also warn Turkey that she will not allow the equilibrium of the lower Med- iterranean to be threatened, as Italy is determined tp prevent complications.” Turkish Purchase of German War- ships Arouses Italy. ROME, via Paris, Aug. 14—The news that Turkey had purchased the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau reached here only last night. This new devel- Cpment in the war situation was dis- cussed with interest in political circles, where it was held that it was fraught with the possibility of grave results. It was stated in semi-official quarters that the vessels would become a strong weapon in the hands of Turkey if Con- stantinople abandoned its attitude or neutrality. The belief was expressed that the purchase precludes a new po- sition on the part of Turkey and in favor of Germany and Austro-Hungary. which is especially important as bearing on the interests of the Balkan states. Allies to Bring Turkey to Realization of Her Obligations. PARIS, Aug. 14—The allied Govern- ments opposed to Germany and Austria- Hungary have agreed to bring Turke; to a realization of its obligations as a neutral power in connection with he~ purchase from Germany of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau. Austrian Steamer Seized as Prize on Reaching Quebec MONTREAL, Aug. 14.—The Austrian steamer Ida, 4700 tons, which sailed from Trieste and Naples before war was declared, reached here last night and was taken over by the Marine De- partment at Quebec today as a war prize. Capt. Martintolich had heard nothing of the war and was astounded when Marine Department officials notified him of the seizure of his vessel. The Ida is a freighter, the property of the Austro-American line. She sailed from Trieste July 21 and from Naples July 2% for this . 20 Sailors Killed When Mine Blows Up Austrian Steamer LONDON, Aug. 14—A telegram from agency saya the Austrian Lloyd steamship Baron Gautsch was blown up by a mine off the island of Lussin on the coast of Dalmatia.

Agents of the Department of Com- merce began their work today as part of the investigation ordered by Presi- dent Wilson to determine if food prices in this country are being unnecessarily raised because of the Buropean war. These instructions were sent to ‘led agents in New York, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans: ‘You are instructed to inquire imme- diately and carefully whether there has ‘been a recent rise in retail prices in your city and vicinity, and if so on what articles and to what extent? “Special attention should be given to foodstuffs and articles of clothing and other necessities. Learn whether the advance if it exists is general or con- fined to particular commodities, and if so, what ones. Find if it has been sud- den or gradual, if any articles have fallen in price, state facts concerning them. Learn what reasons are given for any ‘advance that may have -oc- curred and inquire particularly as to wether such reasons are the actual ones. _ “Give special care to determining if there has been any advance due to speculation, either on the general war situation or on the temporary delay in ocean transit. Consider whether a fair stock exists or is avallable of any commodity that may have been advanced, and whether the facts show a purpose to use the war situation to secure. undue extra prof- its by increased prices. ‘Study to learn if any combination exists at advance of prices under ex- isting conditions.

Secretary Redfield showed the Presi- dent the instructions he had sent to his agents and said he expected to have enough facts within the next we2K to turn them over to the Attorney-Gen- eral for action. Investigation of food prices in the na- tional capital began today. District Attorney Wilson began a grand jury investigation and summoned commis- sion merchants, buyers for hotels ani others to testify. ‘ District.

The investigation was ordered by At- torney-General McReynolds in telegrams to the officials late yesterday after- noon. Houts said that the investigation would be to determine whether there exists a combination which controls the price of foodstuffs, and whether prices have arbitrarily been increased without reason. All details of the food price situation will be gone into, Houts said, and if ir is learned that the law has been vio- lated prosecutions will be instituted.

QUESTION OF CENSORING CABLES NOT SETTLED and Secretary of Do Not Answer = Morgan & Co. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—No immedl- ate action will be taken by the admin- istration on the proposed censorship on cables as well as wireless stations in the United States. This was stated at the White House today, following a con- ference between President Wien and Secretary Bryan. It is a subject full of complications,” said a high official, and it must be considered slowly and carefully.“ It was said the President may ask for an opinion from Attorney-General McReynolds before making a final de- cision. The request of J. P. Morgan & Co. for the attitude of the State Department to- ward a war loan to France has not yet been answered, and will be further con- sidered.

The Germans repeatedly hurled themselves at the barricades, only to be shot down by the deadly Belgian fire. „The attack on the bridges spanning the river was equally fierce.

Copyright, 1914, by Press Publishing Co. (New York World.) WITH THE BELGIAN ARMY, Be- tween Brussels and Liege, via London, Wednesday Night, Aug. 12.—Almost one begins to hope that near this place (evi- dently cut out by the censor), where the advance posts of the Belgian army stand with their allies, will prove to be the scene of the coming great battle. I had expected it much further south- west, but so astonishing has been the success of the Belgian arms in the en- counters during the reconnoissances that it is possible now to hope for what would have seemed a miracle a fort- night ago. Of course, the German mass has yet to move, but with every hour’s delay it seems still to remain a blind mass, which must unroll its plan of battle before it has learned how our forces are disposed to meet it. Everywhere along the line of the out- posts the Germans meet with baffling checks. Like an angry dog, faced by a porcupine with bristles defiant at every point, the vaunted Prussian army stands, puzzled. It causes one to wonder when the German military skill will begin to show itself. So far there has been nothing shown. The audacity of the Uhlan raids has, on test. come down to nothing more than the audacity of bewilderment, the blind rush of men pushed on from behind. In contact with Belgian cavalry the Uhlans have shown themselves inferior. The Ger- man artillery has not shown bDrilliancy nor has the German infantry. The allies’ right wing had faced an attack with all arms at dawn, and, as usual, had repulsed it without, as I learned from some of the allies’ of- ficers, disclosing anything as to the allies’ real position.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—In today's - sue of the Staats Zeitung, in an article over his own signature, Herman Ridder, editor of the paper and one of the most prominent and influential Germans in the United States, defends Emperor WII liam and the German Empire in its war against Russia, France and England. The article is the first of a series which will present a view of the European war and its eyes. In part Ridder writes: “Germany did not want war. The picture of the Kaiser as a bioodthirsty war lord is nonsense. The telegrams that were exchanged between the Kaiser and the Czar show how far the German Emperor went to preserve the peace of Europe. Further, to assume that the Emperor declared war in the present instance against the will of Germany is an absurd assumption. “Germany is a military nation, Ger- many, whether successful or not, must make terrible sacrifices and stand these losses. “This is not a war of conquest. It is not a Napoleonic war to satisfy the personal ambitions of an Emperor. It is a defensive war for the German na- tion, with their national life at stake. “England has been jealous of Ger- many and her commercial trumphs for more than a generation. France has advertised her loss at Alsace ani Lorraine until the whole world hus accepted her sentimental attitude on this question. Russia, since her set- back by Japan, has been looking wesi- ward for an outlet to the sea. It 18 very difficult to forecast the outcome of. what may prove the greatest war in the history of mankind. “Emperor William is a part of the national life of Germany, but by nwo means the all-important part. The role he plays in the commercial, »r- tistic and military life of Germany is in direct proportion to his personal magnetism and his personal ability.

In these modern days, when telephone and telegraph wires glitter above everv highway and railroad, when other lines of communication lie fathoms under che sea, and when the air itself is made to bear man’s messages, war can still annul all these benefits, and can place civilization, temporarily, where it was before the days of .Morse, Bell, Field and Marconi. In some cases this is done by the cutting of wires or of cables, as in the case of the German cable. In the great- er number of cases it ig do by strict supervision of communications, and by preventing the transmission of mes- Sages, or the publication of those which are transmitted. The responsibility for the cutting of the German cable has not been placed. but the English have pointed out that the cutting occurred éast of the Azores, and have charged the Germans with having done it. Strict Censorship Plans. Whatever the facts in that case may be, the English and French have adopt- ed the strictest plans of censorship. Earl Kitchener, British Secretary ot State for War, has announced that any newspaper in the United Kingdom which prints any war news other than that given out by the official Government press bureau will be “suspended.” This. considering the customary freedom of the British press, is a remarkable or- der. The outgjvings of the Brita of- ficial news bureau hate tus iar been confined to brief bulletins, the total not exceeding an American . half- column in any day. The French have established a rigor- ous censorship, which officials defend by reminding the critics that the battle of Sedan was caused by an uncensored newspaper dispatch. The tradition regarding Sedan is that n Paris paper, by printing the fact that Marshal MacMahon’s army, accompa- ried by Emperor Napoleon III, was at Tthetms, gave the Germans information they did not previously have. This caused a change in the German march, resulting in the battle of Sedan and the capture of the Emperor.

Mes- sages can still be sent about business matters, it is announced, but they must be strictly and genuinely business mes- | sages. The measures of censorship in Ger- many, Austria and Russia have not been reported, but it is assumed that, in those countries, which are organized on a military basis, and whose people are used to official repression, the “lid” will be tightly applied to any news which the Governments wish to conceal. News From Belgium, Belgium, thus far, has had freedom of communication. As her forces have been on the defensive, she had little to lose by, the .publication of the news. Holland has been of importance chiefly as a highway for such news as has come oft of Germany. ‘Rigorous application of the censorship was made by, the Japanese in the Rus- so-Japanese war of 15. The Balkan states went still farther in their recent war with Turkey, when they estab- lished the rule that their own citizens should not be informed of the deatn of relatives in the army, lest the enemy should learn of the losses inflicted. The French, in the present war, have decided to suppress all public bulle- tins of casualties in battle, but in- quiries of near relatives about indi- viduals will be answered by an especial- ly constituted bureau.

Prof. Muensterverg has been at Harvard since 1892, and as in exchange professor with the University of Berlin. The Kaiser, he says, desired nothing but honorable peace, and he asks wheth- er anyone can-belleve the slander that war is the result of plans long prepared. Prof. Muensterberg says on this point: Is it really possible to doubt that Em- peror William desired nothing but hon- orable peace with all the world? For % years he has been the most efficient power for European peace. He nas done more for it than all the European peace societies together, and, however often the world seemed at the verge of war, his versatiic mind averted the da.iger. “Can any sane man really believe the slander thay all was a long-prepared game which Austria was to start. and in which Germany would wilfully force the furies of war into the Russian realm? Says Peace Was Offered. No; this time every effort was in vain.“ he continues, and all good will for peace was doomed because the issue between the onrushing Slavic world and the German world had grown to an over- powering force. The struggle between the two civilizations was imminent. and where such a historic world conflict arises the will of individuals is crushed until they serve the will of the nations “The Slavs of the Southeast, the Ser- vians, had defeated their oppressors, the Turks. It vas inevitable chat their new strength shonid push them to umbitious plans. It was necessary that they should alm tcward a new great Slavic empire which would border the sea ani einbrace Austria’s Slavic possessions. That had to mean the end of Austria, the crum- bling of its bistoric power. Such an in- ner, passionate conflict, such as issue of existence, must lead to explosions. vians killed the Archduke. | That was Austria's opportunity for an effort to crush the power which aimed toward its downfall. But it was no less historically necessary that the largest Slavic nation, the Russians, ‘should feel that Servia's cause was their own. Russia knew well that while it had recoveréd from the wounds of the Japanese war the Slavic strength was still unequal to that of the German na- tions, but it knew also that it could rely on France's latent longing to re- venge itself for Alsace and on England's srumbling jealousy of the great Germa.. rival in the world's markets. Should Kaiser Have Waited? “Is there really any sense in blaming the German Emperor for actually de- claring war before the Russian 2 tion was completed and Germany by such loss of time had been Brought to certain destruction?

But the world contrast of the two civiliza- tions was too deep: Russia could not forego its undue chances, and so it continued passionately its armaments, trusting, that the French guns would tart of themselves.“ The Kaiser, Frof. Muensterberg says. would have neglected his duty had ne quietly waited until the Russian armies were brought from the far East. He had to strike as soon as.war was cer- tain. Continuing he says: | “If this war means such an inevitabie conflict of the Slavic and the Germanic world, at least it ought to be clear -o everyone who can think historically that it. belongs to the type of war for which the worlu as yet knows no sub- stitute, the one type of war which, in spite of the terrible losses, is ultimately moral. Surely no comment on this fight of the nations is more absurd than the frivolous cry that it is an immoral war.“ Calls It Meral War.“ “Every war for commercial ende, or for personal glory, or for mere aggran- dizement, or for revenge, may be called immoral, and thus the feelings wich which Frenchmen and Englishmen joit. the Slavic forces might justly be ac- cused. But both Slaves and Germans stand here on moral ground, as both are willing to sacrifice labor and life for the conservation of their national culture and very existence. Since the days of Napoleon, Germany has never gone into a war which was more justi- fied by the conscience of history. „To be sure, there is no lack of ele- ments in this war which do hurt the moral feelings. In victory or defeat Germany will hardly forget the flight of Italy, which, under the flimsiest subterfuges, has deserted its allles in the hour of need. And immoral above all the effort of the world to strangle the spirit of Germany by the mere number of enemies. “Attacked by France.” “That truly its no fair, no moral fight, if Germany and Austria ar not to stand against Russia and Servia alone, which together have a popula. tion equal to that of the two opponents, but are also attacked from behind. by France and England, perhaps by Ru- mania and Japan, and last, but not least, * the misled public opinion of Amer „And this answers at ones the pointed question which many American papers have discussed since the war began. the question whether the whole system is not fundamentally wrong, whether the armaments which were planned to pro- — | Line Between Louvain and Namur Like Lee’ 8 Trench Near Richmond If Liege Forts Hold Out, English and French Might Trap In- vaders Between Two Fires. } connecting Brussels and Antwerp wits Maastricht in Holland and with North> ern Germany. Between Louvain and Diest the Demer flows almost dus east and west, and would constitute a seri- ous obstacle to any German force at - tempting to outflank an army “which had one wing established at Diest. Thirty-five miles south of Diest and on the Meuse is the fortress of Huy, presumably still held by the Franco- Belgian forces. Here, then, in the quadrilateral, with Louvain, Namur, Diest and Huy at its four corners; with the Dyle-Demer rivers at the northern side, the Meuse on the southern, is the place where, u is almost unmistakable, a General charged with defending the capita] from invasion and closing this road to Northern France would select a stand. Moreover, in this position, the allies have had at least a week “to in- trench. Now observe what has 1 in the recent skirmishing. Considerable con- flicts have taken place at Hasselt, St. Trond, Landen, Tirlemont and Hannut, and still later at Diest and Egheseé. These places are all squarely’ on the front of the line “between Diest and Namur, and all dispatches agree that Belgian and French forces were present in real strength, and that the positions threatened were of serious importance to the allied forces in Belgium. Un- mistakably, then, the advance of the allied army can be placed between Diest and Namur, behind the Getee River, which flows north and south across the front of the allies’ position from Tirle- mont to Diest. Consider then what the effect will be, when Liege falls, or the German army of the Meuse has come up around. It and debouched on the Belgian plain.

If the Germans, continius to Unger round Liege, there is the chance that the whole British f 14 army of 16,000 may be brought cf. This would put the allies at least on an impossibly give them the numerical a1- vantage. It is also quite conceivable that the allies might presently take ths dea vor to drive the Germans back upos the still untaken forts of and thus catch them between two fires.

In sum, then, the delay at Liege has given the allies an opportunity to take up a strong line on the road of German advance, many miles north of French territory. The geographical and mill- tery conditions point to the selection of the position between the Dyle-Demer and the Meuse, in the quadrilateral of. Diest- Louvain-Namur-Huy. Finally, the fight- — ing so far has developed the presence of the allies exactly on this line. By the New York Evening Sun's Mu- itary Expert. ESPITE the rigid censorship which D continues to cloak all the prin- cipal operations and main posi- tions of the English-French-Belgian army, sufficient data have been sup- plied in the last few days to demon- strate pretty definitely the line on which the German advance from Liege via Brussels to Northern France is to be resisted, if the Germans persist in this operation. The simplest fashion, perhaps, in which to describe the allied position is to consider the developments since Sunday, Aug. 2, when the German vio- lation of the neutrality of Belgium was first suspected as at hand. On that day the Belgian army was mobilizing the field force at Louvain, 18 miles east of Brussels, and troops were assigned to garrison the fortified posts at Ant- werp, Liege, Namur, Huy and Diest. The French army had also begun to mobil- ize, and one considerable army was un- questionably concentrating on the Bel- gian frontier, between Maubeuge and Lille. As soon as the attack upon Liege became known and the certainty of resistance was established, a forward movement on the part of the French carried an advance guard of their army to the fortress of Namur, at the junction of the Sambre and the Meuse, and squarely in the path of German advance from Liege toward northern France. Meantime the con- centration of Belgian troops at Lou- vain continued, and as early as last Thursday Brussels confidently an- nounced that the two armies, French and Belgian, were in touch, and on Saturday further admitted British soldiers were arriving on the Conti- nent and being sent to take their place in the allied lines. Rivers Impertant Factor. Now, as the French at Namur and the Belgians at Louvain concentrated. they would necessarily push north and south, respectively, east of the railway connecting Brussels and Na mur. The distance by ‘rail between Louvain and Namur is 35 miles, and not over 80 by road. Thus, by last Thursday, Belgium and France had stretched their armies from Louvain to Namur across the front of any German advance via Brussels to northern France. It remains to consider this position from its military and geographical as- pects. Below ‘Louvain the Dyle is joined by the Demer and becomes a con- siderable river, affected by tidal force at Malines, a few miles to the west. Be- low Malines it falls into the Scheldt, at this point a broad and considerable river, which but a few miles to the north enters the zone of the forts of Antwerp, considered, next to Paris, the most heavily fortified city in Europe. The left of a Belgian army concen- trated about Louvain would then be pro- tected from any flank operation by the Dyle-Scheldt River barrier. In fact, then, the gap between Louvain and Na- mur, that is, between the Dyle and the Meuse, only 30 miles wide, represents the channel through which a German advance to France north of the Meuse must come, and an army occupying the gap would have one flank solidly estab- lished on the Meuse at the fortress of Namur, and the other on the Dylo- Scheldt and just north of Louvain. It then requires no stretch of imag- mation to believe that as long ago 1s last Thursday the allies began to fortify themselves solidly on the front between the Meuse and the Dyle on a line little longer than the famous trenches of Lee’s army about Richmond, and of about the same extent as the equally celebrated Tchatalja lines of the recent Balkan war. Lime ef Defense Shows. The exact location of the lines, how- ever, must be a matter of pure con- jecture, but again the geography aids. East and north of Louvain, where the Demer River makes its great bend com- int north from the Hesbaye plain and turns to the west, is the fortress of Diest, commanding the crossing of the river, and a whole network of railways | — —— “Call a Taxi’ in Paris?

FOR BUBONIC FLEA No Trace of Disease-Carrying Insect Found on 300 Rodents Caught in Early Raid,’ Employes of the Health Department, under direction of Assistant Health Commissioner Jordan, yesterday began an investigation of buildings in the vi- cinity of the levee to determine whether there are in that district any rats which might spread bubonic plague, of which there are a number of cases in New Orleans. Rats are being killed and taken to the Health Department, where they are ex- amined for the flea which is a carrier of the disease. More than 300 rats had been brought in by this morning. No trace of the flea has been found. Guinea Pigs in Traps. One system in use is the placing of guinea pigs in traps in buildings near the levee and in railroad yards. Food also is placed in the traps. It is expect- ed that the rats will enter the traps and that, if there are bubonic fleas on the rats, they will communicate the disease to the guinea pigs, which will die in six days if they contract the disease. Dr. C. M. Woodruff, chief diagnosti- cian of the Health Department, has re- turned from New Orleans, where he assisted Government and city health officials in their war of extermination on rats and their campaign against the bubonic plague. Dr. Woodruff -said there were 11 patients convalescing, and that there have been three deaths. Dr. Woodruff Inoculated.,. Dr. Woodruff was inoculated in New Orleans with à serum to protect him from bubonic plague. A mosquito or bedbug may communicate it, he said. The first symptoms of the disease are a swelling about the portion of the body bitten by the flea, mosquito or bedbug, and a rapid rise in temperature to 104 or 105 degrees. Dr. Woodruff said St. Louis would probably have had several cases of bu- bonic plague if preventive measures had not been taken. TWO NEW PLAGUE CASES of i7 at New Orleans Since June 27.

HAS NOT SERVED A DAY Assistant Circuit Attorney Op- posed Parole Jurist Ex- plains Action. . It became publicly known at the Mu- nicipal Courts Building today that Harry Long, 31 years old, of 3734 Iowa avenue, who pleaded guilty Dec. 4 and Was sentenced to serve a term of two years in the penitentiary for attacking Miss Mary Emmenegger, 19 years old, of 3830 Ohio avenue, Aug. 5, 1913, was paroled July 2 by Circuit Judge Wil- liam T. Jones. Long did not serve one day of his penitentiary sentence. Under the law a Circuit Judge has power to parole any prisoner whom he believes entitled te clemency. Long Confessed Crime. Long was arrested after Miss Emme- negger had told the police that five men made her prisoner and attacked her in Benton Park. Long made a con- fession at the time of his arrest and entered a plea of guilty when taken into court. Albert Katz, 23, of 3204 Itaska street, was tried in Judge Jones’ court on a charge of being one of the five men and sentenced to serve two and one- half years in the penitentiary. He ap- pealed the case and is now out on bond Roger Gausmann, 28, of 2851 Pesta- lozzi street, indicted on the same charge, was tried and acquitted. Charles Pfeiffer, 32, will be tried in Judge Jones’ court next month on a charge of being implicated in the crime. Judge Jones, in explaining the parole. said that the evidence showed that Long had no previous criminal record, ha‘ held one position seven years, and that he believed if he released him on parole he would make a better citizen of him than he would to confine him in the penitentiary. Prosecutor Opposed Parole. The Judge also said that one of the men was acquitted by a jury and that that man had been considered by the victim of the attack to be more guilty than Long. The court records show that the parole was opposed by Assistant Cir- cuit Attorney Edward J. McCullen. WOMAN FALLS DEAD WHILE FIGHTING FIRE Fright at the Danger Is Believed to Have Brought on Heart Failure. Mrs. Annie Strauss, 37 years old, died suddenly, presumably from a stroke of heart disease, superinduced by fright, yesterday afternoon while attempting to extinguish with blankets a “fire which started in her home in Fergu- son from a gasoline stove. Neighbors summoned by one of her children found her lying uneonscious across a doorsill. She was dead before dpctors reached her. According to the children in the house, Mrs. Strauss attempted to smother the flames with blenkets, but was unsuccessful. She sent her 13-year- old son, Henry, for help. Neighbors carried her and her 16 months-old baby out of the house, The baby was slightly burned. Mrs. Strauss’ husband, a truck farm- er, reached home from market a few minutes after the fire started. His horses and wagons were his only pos- sessions which were not burned. His property was not insured. Mrs. Strauss is survived by five chil. dren, Henry, 13; Gertrude, 11; Annie, Catherine, 6, and Anthony, 16 months. $500 DAMAGE SUIT OVER SEARCH FOR A ROOSTER Negro Woman Says She Was Humiliated by Action of White Neighbor Who Lest Pet. Mrs. Emma Booten of 813 Ecoff av- enue, a negro hairdresser, has filed suit in’ Justice Slater’s court against Miss | May Witt, a white woman, of 2608 Ecoff avenue, for $500 damages on account of a search of her premises for a missing rooster, Miss Witt was formerly the fond own- er of a pet rooster. In the latter part of July it disapperaed. One of Miss Witt’s neighbors told her that Mrs. Booten had a rooster. Miss Witt told the police about it and they searched Mrs. Booten’s premises. A rooster was found, but it was not the Witt rooster. Mrs. Booten says she suffered $500 in- jury and humiliation through the searching of her house for the missing rooster. BOYS REPORT MAIL THEFT Postoffice, inspectors and policemen are looking for a man who last“night stole a handful of letters from the mail box at Jefferson and Geyer avenues. The information was given the police by two boys, Walter Sparks of 3432 Gas- conade street and Frank Bike of 2 Louisiana avenue, who say they saw the man get out of an auto, open the box with a key and take out the let- Their curiosity was aroused by the fact that the auto did not bear the United States n.all banner and they fol- lowed him. They said he did not stop at any other box in the neigborhood. East St. Louis Gets Convention. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Abg. 14.—East Louis was selected by acclamation night as the meeting place for next year’s convention of the 2 ** * e ee me A aga ‘ ie eee Wheelock P JUDGE” RIECHMANN DIES AFTER FIRST POLITICAL DEFEAT Republican Central Committee- man for 20 Years Won all His Contests. George W. Riechmann, Justice of the Peace, Republican Central Committee- man of the Third Ward and saloon keeper, who suffered a double defeat in the recent Republican primary, the first in his career of 2) years, died early to- day of tuberculosis at his home, 111 North Market street. He was 57 years old. He is survived by a wife and three brothers. Riechmann, whose long service as a Justice led his associates to call him Judge,“ was a practical politician of the old school who exercised a control in elections in his bailiwick that made him an important factor in city, State and congressional elections for many years. It was the boast, of his friends until the last primary that he had won every political contest in which he was a can- didate. He was accused by Mayor Kiel end Chairman Schmoll of the Republic- an committee with having ‘knifed’ Kiel for his Democratic adversary in the municipal election of April, 1913, and an unrelenting war on Riechmann by Schmoll ousted his relatives and sup- porters from appointive offices and led to his defeat for the committeeship and the renomination for Justice at the re- cent primaries. Riechmann was a type of the politica) leader who is ever ready to render the customary services to a constituent, and for two years, while seriously ill, he con- tinued to visit his saloon at Twelfth and Chestnut streets daily for this purpose and to make frequent trips to police stations at early morning hours to ar- range bail for friends. He was warned by his physician and friends to husband his fleeting strength, FRECKLE-FACE Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.

Opposition Postpones Action on Pacts With Panama and San Domingo. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The Senate yesterday formally ratified 18 of the 20 peace treaties submitted to it by Secre- tary Bryan and held up for further con- sideration those with Panama and San Domingo.“ 0 The treaties ratified are with Nor- way, The Netherlands, Portugal, Switz- erland, Denmark, Italia, Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Niacaragua, Bo- livia, Persia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Uruguay, with the Dominican Republic and Pan- ama was determined upon after spir- ited debate over present relations be- tween the United States and those re- publies. The United States is now en- gaged in attempting to settle a revo- lution in San Domingo, and it was sug- gested that might conflict with existing treaties. Senator Fall led opposition to. ratifi- cation of the Panama treaty in its pres- ent form. Under the Panama Canal act, chips of that republic may pass through the canal free of tolls. Senator Fall urged that any new convention should prevent the pegsibility of complications arising through an alliance with foreign interests by citizens of Panama, to pur- chase ships. The treaties ratified are generally of the same character and scope. They provide for the creation of an interna- tional commission with each country, to which disputes that may arise in the fu- ture and which diplomatic methods fail tc adjust shall be referred for investiga- tion and report, and the parties to the treaties agree not to declare war or be- gin hostilities during such investiga- tion and before the report is submitted. The life of the treaties is limited to five years. The contracting parties are not bound by the finding of facts, as made by the Internationa! Commission. Each reserves the right to act independently upon the dispute after the report of the commission shall be submitted. N CONTINUANCES ASKED IN 49 BILLBOARD CASES City to Drop Suite Against Com- panies That Have Complied With the Law. Building Commissioner McKelvey to- day asked continuances until Sept. 11 in 49 prosecutions against violators of the billboard ordinance that have been pending for three months in the Munic- ipal Police Court. Attorney Bowcock of the Building De- partment said many of the cases would be dropped because the ordinance had been complied with, and that others would be pushed unless boards were al- tered properly in the meantime. The suits grow out of violations by the St. Louis Poster Advertising Co., for which Jeptha D. Howe has arranged test cases in the Circuit Court, the Mis- sour! Supreme Court and the Federal Supreme Court, in an attempt to in- validate the ordinance that was de- clared valid recently by the State Su- preme Court after eight years of litiga- tion. 25 Nickeis Stolen From Home.

The investigation President: Wilson has direct- ed shall be made into the “rapid and unwarrant- ed increase in the price of foodstuffs” is an as- surance that the full -po of the Government will be requisitioned to prevent extortion on the consumer with the war as a pretext. It is another evidence of the watchfulness of the administration for the interests of that great portion of the public which cannot profit; which, on the contrary, suffers loss from forestalling, cornering, market rigging and all the various devices by which the law of supply and demahd is interfered with. This increase might be attributed to natural causes if the war had already been in progress for some months and we had been called on to meet extraordinary needs due to war’s great con- spiracy in restraint of trade in Europe. But it comes at a time when the peace had been broken less than two weeks. So far as present éffects of the ‘fighting are concerned, demand is still normal; supply also is still normal. With the embargo on shipping it is reasonable to argue that prices should have gone lower, instead of higher. And so far as future conditions are concerned, it is probable that coun- tries of Central Europe, to which we have been eccustomed to sell tens of millions of dollars’ worth of goods every year will be closed to us indefinitely. If the countries of Western Europe keep open their lines of communication, they will be as free to draw on the supply of South America as on our supply. We have statutes whose text seems adequate to deal with the speculators, the extortioners, the ensnarers of investors as well as of consumers. A chance is given to test the possibility. of apply- ing them with such promptness and vigor as to afford instant relief. The usual long drawn out proceeding under the restraint statutes will be futile and impotent. | A summary proceedings such as was once prac- ticed under the English law would put the con- scienceless forestallers to flight in dismay. . Lp. Lr ä MONOPOLY INTOLERABLE. The International Harvester Trust came near getting a clean bill of health from the United States District Court. Judge Sanborn decided it had-been good for seven years and dissented from the majority opinion of its guilt. Judges Hook and Smith found it technically guilty of restraint of trade on account of the com- bination of five companies to destroy competition in 80 per cent of the trade they controlled, but acquitted the combination of wrongdoing in cap- italization or methods of dealing. Yet the decision is invaluable. In effect it de- clares monopoly in itself illegal and dangerous. ‘Phones, Olive—6600—Central. fe ERS FROM THE PEOPLE —— Drunken, Delinquent Husbands. o the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch.

Rates for Keokuk current, “based on the cost of steam-generated current,” seem to be only an- other name for rates imposing all the traffic will bear. The Clayton Council rushed through a franchise giving a subsidiary of the Keokuk monopoly a franchise when a, company operating a plant with coal offered rates 30 per cent less. Clayton folk must now appreciate the wisdom of requiring a referendum on all franchises. The Keokuk grant must be submitted to: @ o of the people. If Clayton electors find the paying of electric light bills so attractive that they prefer a higher rate when they might have rates 30 per cent lower, they can indicate their choice at the polls.

WARBURG’S PUBLIO SPIRIT. In- his statement to the Senate Banking Com- mittee Paul M. Warburg announced that he in- tended, if he became a member of the Federal Reserve Board, to quit private business, to dispose of all his corporate interests and resign from all associations, because he thought “a man-who-is on the Federal Reserve Board ought to be like Caesar’s wife, he ought to be above suspicion; he ought to be without any entangling alliances.” Then he added: When President Wilson asked me whether I would take this thing, and put it to me in a very kind way, and asked whether I was willing to make the sacrifice, because he thought that I was the man for it, I feel that I had no right to decline, and I will be glad to make the sacrifice, because I think there is a wonderful opportunity for bringing a great piece of constructive work into suc- cessful operation and it appeals to me to do that. President Wilson evidently found a jewel in Mr. Warburg. No one questions his competence. His thorough knowledge 6f. banking, particularly for- eign banking, eminently fits him for the place. To these qualifications we must now add a singu- larly fine view of the obligations and responsibili- ties of a public officer, linked with enthusiasm for the work. , 4 It is refreshing to find a successful’ business man willing to thrust aside all his profitable in- terests to take a hard-working office, not only because he looks upon it as a sacred trust, but be- cause he regards it as an opportunity to do a valuable public service. Mr. Warburg's attitude is a proof of the vitality cf civic spirit and an inspiration for its mani- festation. : THE INCREDIBLE LIEBKNECHT REPORT. The report that harsh military rule went so far as to execute Dr. Karl Liebknecht, most con- spicuous German Socialist since Herr Bebel’s death, because of his conscientious scruples against entering the army, must be accepted with great caution. An act.so merciless would create a diversion among German Socialists in the Kai- ser’s rear more damaging than many enemies in his front. Deference to the Quakers and other sects with whom military service is a matter of conscience, has long been shown in English- speaking countries, in most civilized countries, even in Russia. Should the alleged act of savagery be con- firmed, Dr. Liebknecht will have a martyrdom more illustrious than that of Ferrer in Spain. He had placed the whole world under obligation to him by exposures of the dark secrets of mili- tarism and the league of armament-makers in all countries to stimulate business by promoting war scares. ait. = = — * DECLINE OF GRAPE JUICB.

Their relations wifh each other, involving the welfare of the war-torn republic,.are of vital in- torest in this country. Carranza was Governor of the State of Coa- huila when Huerta slew Madero and became dic- tator. Carranza refused to recognize Huerta’s rule and began mustering a rebel army. The officers of this army, then a small one, met at the Hacienda de Guadalupe, March 26, 1912, and adopted the Plan of Guadalupe. This plan de- creed: 6a That Carranza should be first chief of the Constitutionalist army. 2. That when the army should capture the city of Mexico Carranza should become Presi- dent ad Interim. 8. That he should “call general elections immediately after the establishment of peace, transferring the executive power to the citi- zen chosen at the elections.” ‘Villa thereafter emerged from the desert where he had been an outlaw, joined the rebel army and quickly became its most successful field com- niander. After his victory at Torreon he dis- obeyed orders given by his chief, Carranza. Their differences were patched up by a conference of officers. Villa asserts this conference. adopted an agreement superseding the Plan of Guadalupe. He says the new Plan of Torreon decreed that when the army should enter the City of Mexico the executive ad interim should be chosen by the general officers of the army in council, and that no military commander ahould be chosen either as provisional President or as Governor of any State—which would bar both Villa and Car- runza. Villa did not and does not approve Car- ranza for temporary President. He makes no se- cret of the fact he prefers Gen. Felipe Angeles as the first elective head of the new Government. Gen. Angeles is described by American war correspondents in Mexico as “the brain of the army of which Villa is the soul.” Angeles is a graduate of the Mexican Military Academy and a post-graduate of the French artillery branch, in which he won the rank of Colonel. He is said to be, like Villa, of Indian blood, but unlike Villa, a man of broad culture and liberal views, friendly to foreigners, and of incorruptible character. All trained observers agree that Angeles is the best soldier in Mexico” and that it was he who not only suggested many of Villa’s amazingly shrewd and statesmaniike utterances, but who production of grape juice today, which is not in excess of the demand, is but 2,000,000 gallons. It seems that the only hope for the California prohibitionists is to move for laws compelling the people to drink grape juice. Otherwise, they will never overcome the opposition of the grape growers. But grape juice is high-priced. Why don’t the prohibitionists buy it up wholesale and put it on the market at a reasonable figure? In that way the consumers could be Induced to take more of it. 8 * BOSS SULLIVAN’S TR BOTZ. Defying four thunderstorms, Roger C. Sullivan, heading a party of 12 motor cars, campaigned in 14 Northern Illinois towns one day this week and got into Elgin at night to pay this tribute: The American people should be grateful that they are at peace when virtually every nation of the Caucasian race except ourselves is at war or is armed for war. They should remember it was the clear judgment and the high courage of a Democratic President who insured peace in our own land when a more impetuous or less steadfast executive might have involved us in war. This is a deserved .appreciation which persons of all parties in closer sympathy with the Presi- dent's ideals on popular rule and machine organi- zation might be less chary about expressing. = 7 PUBLIC-BE-LAMNING UTILITIES.

Ihe Laclede Gas Light Company: At the request of Mayor Henry Kiel, and to expedite the abatement of the railroad grade cross- ing nuisance at Tower Grove and Vandeventer avenues, The Laclede Gas Light Company will re- move its mains at that point at the expense to it of about $12,000.00, expecting to recover from the railroads responsible for the nuisance. its loss That the public may know the controversy and form its judgment as to the fault for any delay in that much needed improvement, the Gas Company calls attention to these facts: The abatement of that nuisance was provided for by a contract between the City and the two Railroad Companies, found in the City ordi- nance adopted March 31, 1913, and immediately thereafter accepted in writing by the Missouri Pacific and Frisco Railroad Companies. The contract provides that the work shall be done by the Railroad Companies, and that they : Shall assume and pay all damages, if any there be, to any and all property growing out of the erection and operation of said viaduct and their approaches, and the changes of grade of any public street or alley caused thereby or made under the provisions of this ordinance, except such damage accruing from the cause aforesaid to property abutting upon any public street or alley. And it is understood, and the City of St. Louis hereby agrees, in consideration of the acceptance of this ordinance by the railroad companies a the agreement by them to do and perform all of the obligations imposed upon them by this ordinance, that all tuch damages that may accrue to property abutting upon any such public street or alley .... shall be » adjusted and paid by the city of St. Louis. By the erection and operation of this viaduct the Gas Company's property will be seriously damaged. — i Beginning in January, 1914, the Gas Company, in order that its mains should not cause any inconvenience or delay in the work of abating the nuisance, repeated! invited the Railroad Companies to consider the question of liability for its damage resulting from the removal and rearrangement of its mains. Finally a conference was held on the 18th day of Maria, 1914, between the City Counselor and representatives of the two Railroad Companies and of the Gas Company, resulting in the submission to the several companies of two propositions, namely: (1) To submit the question of liability for the Gas Company’s damage to the Circuit Court for immediate decision on the agreed facts, or = (2) That the Gas Company bear one-third of its damage in compromise. ? 1 The first proposition emanated from the representative of the Frisco Railroad Company, but when the Gas Company, the following day, agreed to accept either of the two propositions, the Frisco Company elected to accept the second proposition. When the Missouri Pacific declined to do anything in the matter, the two Railroad Companies then stood together and they have ever since refused either to consent to the Court determining the question on the agreed facts or to pay 1 part of the Gas Company's damage. The Gas Company's mains are rightfully placed at that point and their removal is desirable solely to enable the Railroad Companies to abate a nuisance which the their business creates. character of The Gas Company in further effort to make a settlement, however unsatisfactory, made other and more favorable offers ‘of compromise, all of whieh the Railroad Compa- nies rejected. , In accordance with its established policy of working at all times to merit public favor, the Gas Company, having made every effort to secure an early settlement, even: at ie the sacrifice of its rights, will now remove the mains in order that the work may progress: and it submits this statement of the facts that the public may judge it its acts: Bay 5 C.

Sheer strength and stamina won the contest, which saved the day for the Americans, as Anthony Wilding made a show of Norris Williams, 7—5, 6—2, 6—3. It's now up to the doubles today and this is THE important match of the tournament. If the Australians win the doubles, it is practically certain to cost the Americans the cup, for Brookes will almost certainly defeat Williams, when they meet Saturday. It was the first set of the match be- tween McLoughlin and Brookes that turned the tide in favor of the auburn- haired player from the Pacific Coast. When he won that set after 32 games had been played, a world's record for an important match, he literally broke“ the Avstraiian's heart and had no great troublo thereafter in taking two more sets and the maten from the world’s champion on the turf courts. Brookes a Real Master. The victory at McLoughlin and the defeat of R. orris Williams II, re- spectively, the two greatest singles play- ers in this country, was attributable to different causes. The Californian drove a superior adversary before him after he had torn his game to tatters by his tremendous speed. The American cham- pion beat an opponent better equipped with strokes. He mastered a man who proved himself an abler general of the courts by relentlessly and at times al- most with brute strength hurling hin: back by the sledge hammer returns. Three times in the twenty-sixth game of the first set, which will go down in tennis history as a Davis cup record, Brookes was within a stroke of win- ning it. Brookes had made a wonder- ful effort to take the eighteenth game with McLoughlin serving, but the best he could do was to carry the points to deuce. Here McLoughlin played his powerful top spin service down the outside line of Brookes’ court for an ace, win the game after he had scored the vantage by a scorching place shot. When it came to the twenty-sixth game Brookes’ skill at forcing Me- Loughlin into impossible positions and rofiting by his errors helped him to ead at 15—40, as the American was serv- ing. At this stage Brookes had learned to step inside the base line of the court so as to get the ball when McLoughlin served as it rose from the turf in its quick bound. The return practically amounted to a volley shot and the chal- lenger was so swift of execution that for a time he had the American on the defensive. Rallying splendidly, while Brookes failed fast and foug t back, McLoughlin drew leven at deuce by his vowertful placing. Twice after that Brookes took the vantage point which would have given him the set had he been able to check the American. That was the thing that Brookes never could dv, despite his cleverness and marvelous assortment of shots. It was at the critical stages that By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. 6 NEW YORK, Aug. 14. which Netter defied all of the rules of tactics and scored by the power of his good right arm and his panther-like leaps for the ball. Brookes staried service in the battle on the Long Island field, which will live long in the history of the game. To the amazement of the crowd, he put more sting into the ball than had been expected. The American was compelled to stealy himself for the shock, and it was impossible for him to follow up closely his returns so as to be most effective. When McLoughlin tried his short curlers, with an under spin to the talls, Brookes always seemed able te get into range for his effective volley returns. N the early games Brookes was faster, surer and placed with better effect than the American, and yet with weapons vastly more skillfully handled Erookes was never able to break through the service of his adversary in the first set. How effective that service was may be guessed from the fact that in the set McLoughlin scored no less than Ie service aces, while on placed shots he only excelled Brookes by 28 to 30. 8 The difference in the overhead strokes at the two men offered a remarkable contrast. McLoughlin was always tak- ing long chances for a kill. True to British form, Brookes’ smashes were gentle taps that sent the ball straight to the mark, but made it easy prey for McLoughlir when he got to it. Brookes displayed signs of fatigue in the thirtieth game. As he wavered the American Jet himself out, placing the ball so as to compel Brookes to run. He kept lobbing over the Australasian’s head and while he was apt to be short and gave Brookes opportunities for ex- cellent smashing, the points were chiefly to the American side. McLoughlin fin- ished up the set with three games in a row. The match in which Wilding de- feated Williams was finished in one hour and ten minutes. This was less than the time required to decide the first set of the other competition. Williams started the service, raced away with aces and forced a lead of 4—1 on games. But Wilding was only feeling out his 1 When the Australasian really his deep court Williams driving all over the lines in what appeared to be a senseless ef- fort to shave the edges of the court. As he worked into the contest Wilding began to ring changes of pace. Wil- liams did not seem to know whether or not to stroke the ball for a powerful Sweep of his racquet or to tap it light- ly so as to make what amounted to a block ‘of Wilding’s shooting For a brief period in She first se; Wilding’s splendid back-hand proved rather weak and uncertain. Once he had | Wasp caught his gait he was as steady 4s Gibraltar. From the showing of the men it would appear as if Brookes was likely to master Williams when they meet to- morrow. Whether or not Wilding can beat McLoughlin again as he did at Wimbledon last year for the all-En- gland title is problematical.

St. Louis has occupied unique posi- tion in the past few weeks among the cities of the country. Third among the central reserve cities of the nation, it has as usual had the great burden of the Soren age financing thrust upon it. With the feign ports of entry and a thorough-going blockade in effect, growers of the great s le have been confronted with one of the most serious situations in the history of the United States. Lending money in St. Louis has been a matter of private negotiation 41 bankers and borrowers. No money been put out under 6 per cent. ith clearing house certificates represe balances between banks and car fixed interest rate of 8 per sent, 1 hardly to be thought that the open mare ket rate would decline below 6 per cent. Nevertheless 7 per cent has been the maximum rate in St. Louis, except in a few instances. Little or no calling of loans has been reported and the institu- tions quite generally have evidenced a protective interest in their depositors as well as borrowers. Commercial paper has moved barely at all. A few purthases- have been report- ed, but they were without any particu- lar significance. rown with the 1 0 —_— St. ag. pa a EPH, —Hoge—Re- ; prospects * — top or bulk. steers, $7.50@ D 9 — calves, $6.25 2 strong to 100 : | fered — Sage 25 — .

And I don't see how you'd have all you have if your husband wasn’t in business. But you'd better decide. Are we going to accept the Stryvers’ invitation to dinner?’ “How can I tell?” asked the other peevishly. Mrs. Stryver is so fussy, she always wants to prepare way ahead, and I've practically decided to go under treatment to have a Grecian nose as well as a dimple, and also get my face skinned and the sag prevented in my skin. It will take at least a couple of days, won't it?’ “To tell you the truth,” spoke up Mrs. Jarr, “I heard a woman complaining at the beauty parlors the day we went there. The colored maid soothed her and sent her away again. She was velied and her fact was tied up, and —— | she complained bitterly that Dr. Cos- mos had been working on her dimple yet—only a hole in her face. She said all he did was to charge her % a treat- ment for constant massaging. Three months!“ cried Mrs. Mudridge- Smith. “Surely you are mistaken. Why Mme. Montez, the head nurse, said it took hardly any time at all.“ “Well, I only tell you what I over- heard while you were getting the cool- ing, soothing oil treatment to tone the epidermis,”’ said Mrs. Jarr. Something tells me you'd better save your money. Perhaps these peopie may disfigure you for lite.“ “How can you talk that way when you saw the photographs of the wonder- ful facial improvements the Cosmos Beauty Parlors had made in many no- table society women? And don't you remember the head nurse thought we were Princess Patricia of Connaught— and she’s very beautiful?“ „Well, I think we'd better make some inquiries,”’ said Mrs. Jarr. “I’m getting suspicious.” She made her inquiries of Mr. Jarr, who made some of Mr. Michael Angelo Dinkston, knowing the latter knew the inside detai:s of how to make a I'ving without working or stealing in ua creat — — — — — — — f.

Mother, said the son, “I made a2 mistake when I elected chemistry. But it is not too late to change even yet. I want to take astronomy instead.” The mother searched the eyes of her son sharply.

The face skinning is painful and dangerous and its results are only temporary. The so- called ‘dimple’ is only an ugly little pill dug in the cheek, and then these beautv parlor fakers keep up massage treat- ment until they exhaust the money and patience of their victim.“ But what influence have I with the lady?” " pleaded Mr. Mudridge-Smitt.

Club dinner whereat four peeresses, formerly Gaiety girls, appeared-—-the Countess of Orkney (Connie Gilchrist), the Marchioness of Headfort (Rosie Boot), Countess Poulett (Sylvia Storey) and the Countess of Churston (Denise Orme). “George Grossmith, at this dinner,” said the American girl, advised the peereeses to be content with their hus- bands and satisfied with life. Nothing was so bad, George declared, but what it might be worse. He said the bride of an impoverished’ peer looked up from the Gentlewoman one evening and remarked bitterly: Here's a Park Lane magnate gives his wife a Rivera villa. Nothing like that happens to me.’ Her husband, buried in the News of the World, replied: „Well, my dear, here's where a fel- low gives his wife a black eye.
