LONDON, Aug. 31.—Arne Bosch, a cor- respondent of the magazine World's Work, who went into Belgium some days ago, arrived in London today from Brus- sels, whence he departed iast Thursday. He said that John T. McCutcheon of Chicago. Irvin Cobb of New York an‘ Mr. Henson of the Chicago Daily News were safe in Brussels when he departed. Referring to the military sifuation in Belgium, Dosch said: “The German auto trucks are a mar- vel. Equipped with scythes, they mow right through hedges and wire fences f the roads do not suit the drivers. These trucks are heavily armored and they are able to résist anything except artil- lery -fire. They enable the German forces to make 40 miles a day. The number of these trucks seems unlimited. ‘Tt is estimated that 300,000 German troops have made their way through Brussels and that 400,000 moved south of Brussels. The troops which passed through Brussels were later engaged with the British forces. Only a small detachment of Germans was left in the Belgian capital. “T have no personal knowledge of the horrible German atrocities reported frora Belgium,” Dosch went on, “and I am inclined to discredit most of these sto- ries. The Germans also tell many st>- ries of Belgian atrocities) most of which I believe. “In some cases Beigian boys and ol4 men undoubtedly fired on German soi- diers from inside buildings. This was the cdse in Brussels and elsewhere, and the men in buildings from which shots | were fired were in some cases executed, sou Sar OE a Machines Cut Through Fences Army Will Get Into Paris in Two Days | arn:y enter Paris two days hence, according to a Cop>?n- The German papers, according to this dispatch, have stated in tne for the entrance of the army int) Paris, and they confidently predict German Papers Hope LONDON, Aug. 31 HE Germans expect to see thei" hagen dispatch which tells of the utterances of the German press last few days’ that Wednesday, Sept. 2, was the date officially set that this program will be fulfilled. ~ [I know of no women or children being kjlled because of their having been found in buildings from which shots had been fired. The line of fighting froin Namur south has been a zig-zag and nothing like what many strategists have guessed. “Louvain is a pitiful ruin. I came through that city on my way out of Belgium and saw the smoking ruinyv. Only the big cathedral was visible above the smoke, and that may have gone later. I Was unable to go to that sec- tion of Louvain where the American col- leges, maintained by American Bishops, are located, but I heard they had dis- played the American flag and had been spared. “TI had no opportunity to learn of the events which preceded the destruction of Louvain. The loss of this city is universally mourned in Belgium.” eee Man Held as German Hostage Was Decorated by the Kaiser PARIS, Aug. 31.—There is an irony in the. selection by Germany of Ernest Solvay as a hostage for the payment of the $40,000,000 war fine imposed on Brus- sels. A few months ago Brussels cele- brated magnificently his fubilee as the inventor of soda by the ammoniac process. Among the European delegates, Ger- many’s were particularly distinguished and the Kaiser conferred on Solvay one of the highest distinctions possiblé. The Berlin Academy of Sciences also pre- sented him with a grand gold medal. - Si gt RBs Se 5 Ae Flores ee Cae oe wie Ess Qtite BE) wh CASS i Americans Will Get Best Oysters Because of the War NEW YORK, ~The finest oysters grown along the; Long Island Aug. ol. shore, which have always been held for the European and steamship trade, will be put.un ‘the’ domestic market, this season, according to growers, who to- day predicted that the crop would be the biggest irf the history of the coun- try, and that -prices would be low.

He says that in Great Britain and Ire- land, with its population of 40,006,000, the majority of men have dependents, and it is not an easy matter for them to leave their families without support, but that England has a vast number of mil- lionaires and it is their duty to serve as such. Let the millionaires, Mr. Maxim sug- gests, raise the money and then England would quickly have an enormous num- ber to meet all requirements. He says that men who enlist should have at least 5 shillings ($1.20) a day, then be entitled to a pension. He predicts if England makes the right use of its wealth it can have an army of a million men in the field in 40 days. Germany Considers .

It ts clear from Earl Kitchener's definite report of the retreat of the British expedition and the French War Office statements of Saturday and Sunday that the defenders are in che last ditch outside the actual, fortification of Paris itseit. While they have succeeded in holding back Crown. Prince Wilhelm on the east as well as the army attacking through the Vosges on the southeast, the avalanche of German troops which came through Belgium has not been checked. This German army has penetrated, French soil 60. from the border north of Maubeuge to the vicinity of ¢ lise— feming for every mile gained, and it now has aboug ; 7o miles » go. The French army with the English force as its center which has opposed the invaders here has come to be known as the Army of the North. The Army of the North is now defending the line between the fortified cities Amiens, La Fere, Laon and Reims, which protects Paris to the north and is from 65.to 75 wniles from the capital. ? St. Quentin, Guise, Signy, Abbaye and Chateau Porcieu, where the fighting last reported took place, are from 20 D £0. a5 miles outside of the line of defense. re \‘* 3 Troops Pour Into Paris Forts; Citizens Depart on Every Train By ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS, Aug. 31, 12:08 p. m.—All night long troops from the south and west of France have been arriving at the capital ‘tind passing by rail around the city to the locations in the encireling fortifications to which they have been assigned, There is great activity on the part of the municipal mili administration in completing the details of the plans for the a. fense of Paris. ’ An official statement issued this evening ‘pansindeines the situ. ation to date as follows: ‘On our right, after partial checks, we have taken the oof. fensive and the enemy is retiring before us. ~ a ‘‘In the center we have had alternating checks and successes, but a general action is now being fought. On our left, by a series of circumstances which turned in favor of the Germans and de- spite lucky counter attacks, the Anglo-French forces were obliged to give way. ~ As yet our armies, notwithstanding a few incontest- able checks, remain intact. The morale of our troops is excellent in spite of considerable losses whieh also are being rapidly filled from regimental depots.’ The unusual animation to be noticed on the streets of Paris ae today was caused chiefly by the thousands of persons whe are ~ preparing to leave the capital.

The reason an allied army, greatly in- ferior in numbers, is retreating on Paris today, as it has been for 10 days, is found in the initial blunder of the French War Ministér, who has vanished from the scene. Thanks to him, two- thirds of the French army wae sent far off to the Alsade-Lorraine frontier, con- céntratéd about Nancy and Belfort, and flung into German Lorraine and Alsace. During the first 15 days of the war, which may be described aa the Bel- Sian phase, the Gérman armies, cov- éred by the fighting from Liege to Brus- sels, concentrated in unprecedented masses in all of Fast and Southeast Belgium. At fhe moment when they saw the French wholly committed to their counter-offéensive, and the greater part of the French army actually én- gaged between Metz and Muelhauseéen, they suddenly sét their vast army in motion toward Namur and Brussels. , Five Fateful Days. Three days sufficed to sWéep thé feeble Beigian force from their front and crush it back into Antwerp. Two days more, and their march west and then south had brought perhaps 900,000 Ger- mans in front of the allied army, num- bering at most less than 600,000, perhaps not more than 40,000, and placed south of Namur, and, roughly speaking, on a line between the Meuse and the Scheldt, with Charleroi as ita center. At the precise moment when the Ger- man “drive” began, Sunday, Aug. 28, the great mass of the German army was less than 150 miles from Paris. The bulk of the French army was from 25" to 300 miles away, fighting desperately and making little real headway. Plain- ly, if the small northern army were really crushed or outflanked, énveloped and captured, the French armies’ suc- cesses eastward in the Vosges, if there were any, would amount to nothing, and the safety of the armies which had won them would soon be gravely imperiled. This, then, is the explanation of the last 10 days of furious fighting, which still continues. With irresistible weight of numbers, the Germans from Belgium fell upon the French and English, drove them south from the Mons-Charileroi line, from the Valenciennes-Maubeuge- Givet line, from the Cambrai-Landreties line, from the Amiens-St. Quentin-La Fere line. Each of these lines represents a front of 6 miles or more facing south. Purposes of Both Sides. During all this timé the single purpose of the allies was to keep their army in- tact, to prevent an attack on the left flank, which would cut off their re- treat to Paris, and to delay the Ger- man advance until the French troops, sent off t the Swiss frontier to make the great offensive thrust into Alsace, could bé brought back and placed on the battle line to reinforce their hope- lessly outnumbered corps. , In this same time the controlling pur- pose, to which thé Germans have sacri- ficed lives without hesitation, has been to get between Paris and the retreat-: ing allies, and round them up by an A\ FTER 10 days of confusion, the fog plished. This is the whole meafhing of thelr attack today. So far as Man can now determine, the Germans have as yet failed to aceom- plish the one thing absolutely essential to their larger Success.

The Frénch right, falling back on Rheims, is fighting north and east of tha’ city, apparently to cover thé withdrawal of French troops’ along the Meuse. fra destina- tion is Rheims. The French center is almost back on the La’ Fere-Laon bar- rier forts; its position is solid. But tho Anglo-French force making up the Frénch right is still exposed on its left, while its right touches LA Fere. If the German flank movement fails for two or three days more, it is plain the French army will escape. Passing Paris, it can withdraw to the Loire, if necessary, and leave the Ger- mans with Paris on their hands, re- quiring half a million men to besiegé, or it can pivot on Paris behind the Seine, its left protected by the whole expanse of Paris forts, Unless Germany can crush or confine the French army she will have to face the position of weakening her invading army to resist Russian invasion, and at the same time besieging Paris and deal- ing with Anglo-French forces, steadily mounting in numbers. It is plain, then, that the present week is to be one of the most exciting and tre- mendous in the history of the war. Yet it can hardly be more terrible as to fighting than the last, and in that, thanks very largely to the steadiness of the British, doing in 1914 all the same of the British, doing in 1914 the saine lasting fame, the allied lines held, and now réinforcements have come and are coming. It remains merely to mention once more the wonderful courage, determina- tion and persistence of the Germans Their genera) staff has outgeneraled the French, their men have certainly carried all before tham, despite staggering loss- ea. The first, and perhaps the real, crisis of the European war is now at hand, and the great puzzle must be whether, despite huge losses, tremendous efforts and the terrific wastage of war, the German soldiers still have strength enough ieft to deal another blow as Bluecher’s Prussians did at Waterloo.

No news from either of the German ‘fronts had been given out up to mid- night tonight.

Germans Won Their Way at a Cost of Life as Heavy as in Defeat, and in Position From Which They Cannot Withdraw, Says an irregular line to che eastern fron- | LONDON, Aug. 31.—The Chronicle’s correspondent, in a long ‘dispatch dated ‘‘Near Amiens,’’ takes the view that the Germans, by the boldness of their advance, have placed themselves in a posi- tion from which, if they should suffer a reverse, they will be unable to retreat. ‘ -In telling of the fighting along the right wing of the allies’ army in Northern France, he praises the French for their desper- ate and dealy resistance to the German advance. In foreing their Way across the Meuse, after the battle at the twin towns of Me- ziores and Charleville, he writes: ‘“‘The Germans won their way at a cost of human lives as great as a defeat, yet they won their +) way. For France, that retirement is as glorious a story as anything 9? in her annals. “It now rests in a firm front, swee)- ing around jn a crescent from Abbe: ville, south of Amiens, and hence in tier.” “On the map,”’ the dispatch contin- ues, “it looks at first sight a rather unhappy thing to see that practically the whole of France north of Amiens lies open to a German descent from Bel- gium, but in order to break up the Ger- man army piecemeal and lure it to its own destruction, it was almost neces- sary to maneuver it into precisely the position it now occupies.” ; Machine Guns in Houses.

It was only for fear of getting too far out of touch with the main forces that the 5000 desisicd from their attack, and retired with a lerge number of German helwets as trophies of victory.’’ Summarizing the situation the icle correspondent says: “From all the fog of mystery which bas enshrouded matters until now, when ‘ney may be told, can big facis cmerge and give one courage. The French army and che British troops are now kulding good positions in a2 much Chron- }stronger and-closer line, and are stem- ming the tide of the German hordes rv]l- ing up to Paris. Despair Unwarranted. “Nothing that has happened gives cause for that despair which hag tak- en hold of some people, whose fears have been exaggerated. “The facts are frightful enough when taken separately, but they give no proof that a resistance is impossible against the amazing onslaught of ‘the German legions. I have been into the War zone, and have seen during the last five days the men who are now holding the lines of defense. “I have been among their dead and wounded, and have talked with soldiers marching fresh to the front. I have seen the horrid mess which is cleared up after each battle, and the grim pic- fure of retreat. But nothing that 1 have seen or heard from either British or French leads me to believe our army has been smashed or the allies demor- alized. Can’t Estimate Losses. “It is impossible to estimate the al- lies’ losses. Their wounded are being brought back into Havre and Rouen and undoubtedly there are large num- bers of them, but putting them at the highest, it is clear to me, from all in- formation gained during the last five days, that there has been no over- whelming disaster and that in the ter- rible action fought on the four days from Aug. 23 to Aug. 27, and afterward in the further retirement from Cambria and Lecatau, swinging southward and eastward, upon St. Quentin, the maiz forces, which were pressed by enor- mous numbers of the enemy, succeeded in withdrawing in good order without having their lines broken, while inflici- ing terrific punishment upon the Ger- man right. Retreats which seem fatal when seen close at hand or when described by those who belong to the broken frar- ments of extended sections are not al- together disastrous in their effect, when viewed in their right perspective, away from the immediate misery which is their inevitaite accompaniment. The German audacity of attack against the heroic courage of the French and British forces is leading the enemy into positions from which there will be no re- treat if their lines are broken. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of people who know nothing of the great issues, and who are pos- sessed by a great, blind fear which has driven them from their towns and vil- lages. Lille Left Undefended. . That is inevitable. When the Ger- mans swept around Lille they found to their amazement that the town, sur- rounded by forts, had been abandoned, and they had only to walk in. This easy access to a place which should have been defended to the last gap opened the way to the west of France. The left wing of the French was to the west of Mons and was supported by British troops all too weak to sustain the pressure of the tremendous odds which began to surge against them. Realizing the perilous gtate of affairs, the brain at the center of things, the controlling brain of Gen. Joffre and his headquarters staff, decreed that the northwest corner of France was unten- able, and that the main army of defense should withdraw into stronger and closer formation. It was then that the great panic be- gan, increasing in speed and terror. Dur- ing the end of last week I was in the midst of it anid saw unforgettable scenes of this enormous tragedy.

Can one wonder that mothers and fathers rush from their houses and wander forth in a blind, unreason- ing way to swell the panic tide of fugi- tives—homeless, without food, dropping here and there on the roadside in utter weariness. “IT was lucky in getting out of Bou- logne on the last train bound for Paris, though it was not guaranteed to reaca the capital. As a matter of fact, I was even more lucky because it did not ar- rive at its destination, and enabled me to alight in the war zone and proceed to more interesting places.

LONDON, Aug. 31.—A German officer writes the following account of the fall of Liege, says a Rotterdam dispatch to the Daily Telegraph: “Gen. Leman’s defense of Liege was noble, but tragic. During the early at- tack, Gen. Leman’s legs were both crushed by the fall of a piece of con- crete. Tndaunted, he continued to direct the campaign, visiting the forts in an automobile ambulance. “The commander of one of the forts, at the moment when the bombardment was heaviest, went mad and began shooting his own men. He was disarmed and bound, “The cupola of one of the forts was de- stroyed by a bomb from a Zeppelin. Fort Chaudfontaine was blown into oblivion by a German shell which dropped into the magazine. “Finally Gen, Leman decided to make his last stand in Fort Loncin. When the end became inevitable he destroyed the last gun and burned the plans, maps, papers and food supplies. He was about to order all the men to the trenches when a shell buried him beneath a pile of debris. He was unconscious when the fort surrendered.” My money e si Stl aiid egy A at They can find nos Weary and exhaust- ] LONDON EXPECTS WAR INIMIEDIATELY LONDON, Aug. 31.—The Daily Tele- Staph’s diplomatic: correspondent ih ab article printed today, says: “Turkey may declare war at any mo- ment.

Over these that faced south had been trained pear trees, their branches heavy with fruits spread out against the walls like branches of candelabra. The town hall was very o!d and very beautiful, an example of gothic architecture in de- tail and design more celebrated even than the town hall of Bruges or Brus- sels. It was 500 years old and lately had been repaired with great taste and at great cost. Opposite was the Church of St. Pierre, dating from the fifteenth century, a very noble building, with many chapels filled with carvings of the time of the Re- naissance in wood, stone and iron. In the university were 150,000 volumes. Near it was the bronze statue of Fa- ther Damden, priest of the leper colony in the South Pacific, of which Robert Louis Stevenson wrote. All these build- ings now are empty, exploded cartridges, statues, pictures, carvings, parchments, archives—all are gone. With United Mexico, No one defends the sniper. But be- cause ignorant Mexicans when their city was invaded fired upon sailors, we did not destroy Vera Cruz. Even had we bombarded Vera Cruz, we could have restored it. Money can never restore Louvain. Great architects and artists, dead these 600 years, made it beautiful and their handiwork belonged to the world. With torch and dynamite the Germans heve turned these masterpieces into ashes and all the Kaiser's horses and all his men cannot bring them back again. When, by troop train we reached Lou- vain, the entire heart of the city was destroyed and fire had reached the bou- levard Direllmont, which faces the rail- road station. The night was windless, and the sparks rose in steady, leisurely pillars, falling back into the furnace from which they sprang. In their work the soldiers were moving from the heart of the city to the outskirts, street by street, from house to house In each buildirg, so German soldiers told me, they began at the first floor, and wh:n that was burning steadily, passed to the one on the next. There were no exceptions—whether it was a store, chapel or private residence, it was destroyed. The occupants had been warned to g0, and in each deserted shop or house the furniture waspiled the torch was stuck under it and into the air went the savings of years, souve- nirs of children, of parents, heirlooms that had passed from generation to gen- eration.

In other wars I have watched men on one hill top, without haste, without heat, fire at men on another hill, and in consequence on both sides, good men were wasted. But in these fights there were no women or children, and. the shells struck only vacant stretches of veldt or uninhabited mountain sides.

At Louvain that night the Germans were like men after an orgy. There were 50 prisoners erect and soi-| diery. In the ocean the little patch of khaki looked pitifully lonely; but they regarded the men who had outnum- bered but not defeated them, with calm but uncurious eyes. In one way I was glad to see them there. Later they will bear witness as to how the enemy makes a wilderness and calls it war. It was a most weird picture. On the high ground, broken spires of the Church of St. Pierre and the Hotel de Ville, and descending were row beneath row of houses, roofless, with windows like blind eyes. Fire had reached the last row of houses, those on the Boule- vard de Jodigne. Some of these were already cold, but others sent up stead- ily, straight columns of flame. In oth- ers, at the third and fourth stories, the window curtains still hung, flowers still filled the window boxes, while on the first floor the terch had just passed, and the flames were lapping.

It was all like a scene upon the stage, so unreal, so inhuman, you felt that it could not be true that the current of fire purring and crackling and sending up hot sparks to meet the kind, calm stars was only a painted back drop; that the reports of rifles fiom the dark rooms came from blank cartridges and that these trembling shopkeepers and peas- ants ringed in by bayonets would not in a few minutes really die, but that they themselves and their homes would be restored to their wives and children.

It has attracted to it- self the pick of the German troops, and has thereby given the French time to recover themselves and to restore order. “In their arms our gallant allies, now in line on both flanks of our army, have by their aggressive at- titude brought the German offen- sive to a temporary standstill, and even if a general pttensive is not practicable, we can count on de- termined and energetic resistance. “If the fortunes of war compel us to retire still further we can as- sume that with 1870 in mind, no General in the field will allow him- self to be shut up in a fortress, even though this fortress be the capital of France. “The allied armies must Keep to the field and the fortresses, Paris included, must look after them- selves, with the help of the French territorial troops and other forces originally allotted to their protec- tion,”’ his advance with more men than he can spare. Alsace Invasion “Politics.” “Politics play a larger part in war than most soldiers care to admit. We suspect that the motive for the French offensive in Alsace and Lorraine was largely political. Every success there, however trivial, would fill the mind of the dullest French soldier with hope and confidence. The armies which. too Muelhausen and got astride the line from Metz to Stressburg were wiping o** 1870, and in a word achieving ‘la ravanche.’ “To create such an impression would be invaluable at the opening of the campaign. It is possible that “he French expected an attack from Metz. More probably, they hoped to use the Lorraine army to envelop the German left, and since the great fortresses of Metz and Strassburg had to be dealt with, we must suppose that this was a large army, of anything over chree corps. ‘We know only that it has been heav- ily defeated, has lost many prisoners, and much of its artillery (the Germans say 16,000 men and 150 guns) and has been driven back into French territory, leaving Luneville in the enemy’s hands ‘The military position has here been ruined by politics, for obviously this force, or most of it, was required in the north. Belgians Discontented. “On the other hand, the Belgian cam- paign has suffered from a neglect of the political, or shall we say the hu- man factor? It is pretty generally known now that the Belgians are dis- contented because they have felt thut the allies have ieft them in the jurch. Why, they ask, did the French go on invading Alsace, and why wer: the British detailed for the defense of Northern France, while no one has helped to protect Central Belgium? “Weare not criticising these arrange- ments, which may have been based on a very brilliant plan. In fact, they have worked badly. and the conse- quences must be traced. The result of allowing the Beigians cause for this bit- terness Was, first, that the field army did only moderately well before Louvain, ana worse still that Namur has (more or less) fallen with disconcerting ease. ‘It is quite likely that German poli- tics in this part of the field would alsa have been good strategy. If even the French and British divisions had been spared to assist the Belgians, their spirits might not have flagged and Namur might have held out for weehs or months instead of days. ‘We are inclined to think that too trauch. was expected of Namur, because tco much was made of the resistance cf liege. We know that the first attack on Liege was made not by three army corps, but only by a body of covering troops half mobilized and hastily rushed forward. Weakness of Forts. “A ring of fortresses is nu stronger than the weakest of its single fort>. and if one is taken, the central town can be rvshed and any co-ordinate defense dis- crganized. That happened slowly at Liege and rapidly at Namur and we must be prepared to see it happen again. “To sum up this attempt is a guess at the reason of a failure in the first round of the cam Gen. Joffre failed to reckon Om & mass movement through Brussela, counted on Namur to stop a@ Mass Movement down the Meuse, and spent, in the invasion of Lorraine and the effort to turn the German left, the forces which were really required to deal with the German right. “This German right encountered stub- born and successful resistance from the British at Mons. The gallantry of our men, however, could not save the bat- tle. The French at Charleroi, in spite of the obstinate courage which they showed in taking the town again and again, after their first repulse, were not in adequate numbers. The center was driven back and meanwhile the allied right was in peril. “The Belgians had failed to hold Na mur, the key to the Meuse. Two sepa rate offensives westward (of which we know no details) againet the German armies of Ardennes and from Luxem- burg were simultaneously repulsed. A Bad Week's Work. “No choice remained. The offensive has been everywhere abandoned and the allies have fallen back on the first line of defense within the French frontier. and have now beer. driven behind it. It » @ bad record for the week's work and it means that the whole conception of the western campaign must be re- vised. “The Germans are evidently in vast numbers. They are moving with sur- prising rapidity. They are prepared to lose heavily. We may as well dismiss at once all the tales too eagerly believed about the defective commissariat and the discouragement of the men. "Tt is likely that the allies may be before many weeks are over, create a danger for Berlin which will relieve the pressure on Paris. “But we must not leave it to Cossacks to save the liberty of the west. We are involved in a capital struggle, and our safety as well as our honor, requires us to take our adequate share of it. Lord Kitchener's half a million men are needed, and they are needed at once.”’ — GERMANS MAY CUT OFF FRENCH RETREAT TO PARIS LONDON, Aug. 81.—The Post today editorially calls attention to a statement issued by the French Embassy as indi- Cating that the allied forces have again been compelled to fall back before the German advance in the neighborhood of Le Fere, which is over 20 miles nearer to Paris than the Cambrai-Lacateau line where the allies reorganized after the Germans crossed the frontier and entered France. Fighting is also erported in the vicinity of Amiens. La Fere is only a little more than 65 miles from Paris as the crow flies The Post says: “A statement issued by the French Embassy discloses a sit- uationo of much gravity. A German army was on Saturday attacking from the east the line on Launois-Signy Abbaye, while another German army was attacking from the west the line from La Fere to Guise, anad though Unsuccessful at Guise, was making proe- ress at La Fere. These two German armies were therefore only 40 miles arart. “The German army attacking on the front at Guise and La Fere has clear country behind it and a Sharp offensive turning movement on the southwest by Takes Position There Is No Precedent for Such Action in Time of War. WASHINGTON, Aug. 381.—Great Brit- ain has joined with France in ob- jecting to the purchase by the United States of any German liners in connec- tion with the plan to build up an Amer- ican merchant marine. At first England hesitated to protest, believing her action might be inter- preted as placing obstacles in the way of a resumption of commerce to En- gland. After France had communicated her viewpoint to London, however, the British Foreign Office decided to urge the Aemrican Government to buy neu- tral vessels to avol complications. No formal protest ha been lodged by either France or Great Britain, but the situation has been/outlined to the Wash- ington Government as of momentous im- portance to bot countries. France takes jhe view that the pur- chase of German liners now tied up in ports would We tantamount to giving Germany imp@rtant financial assistance, England’s position is that there is no precedent in international law for the purchase of a large number of ships, during war. from a belligerent nation.

Careful investigation by two phyal- clans has faiied to clear the mystery 4s to what caused the lockjaw which led to the death of Margaret Alice Sparks, ll years old, a daughter of Perry Sparks of 5211 Vernon avenue, yester- day, after an illness of three days. That death was due from tetanus ‘ts officially stated in the death certifi- cate. This disease, which always reaches its climax in lockjaw if not quickly checked, is usually caused by some ex- ternal injury. The only evidence of such injury found by the physicians was a small blister on the back of the right heel, caused by the rubbing of a slipper. The doctors believe this would not have been sufficient to cause teta- nus. Died Early Yesterday. The little girl first complained of ill- ness Thursday afternoon. When her father went home he called her for sup- per. She attempted to eat a piece of meat, but complained that she could not chew it. She retired soon after sup- per. Friday morning her condition was worse and Dr. G. W. Carson was sum- moned. He detected tetanus symptoms and called Dr. E. W. Saunders of 4600 Olive street in consultation. Anti-teta- nus serum was administered and for a time the girl’s condition showed im- provement, but Saturday morning there were intervals in which her jaws were tightly locked. At other times she was able to talk with difficulty. Funeral Tomorrow. ness was a little white poodle which had been her pet since it was a puppy.

POLICE PURSUE 2 MONDAY EVENING, ‘AUGUST 31, 1914. SAFE ROBBERS AND HOLD A SUSPECT One Shot Is Fired in Chase and Wounds Negro in Alley Through Which Men Fled. The rust-covered coat of Philip Katz, a recent arrival from New York, is de- pended upon by the police to connect him with an attempt to rob the safe of the George ImMasche Feed Co. of 1210 Biddle street. A “duck-bill’’ jimmy tis held as further evidence against Katz. About 12:30 o’clock this morning Rich- ard Lobert, who occupies apartments above the feed store, was awakened by a noise below. He concluded that bur- glars were moving the coripany’s iron safe from the office into the back part of the store and went in search of po- lice n. Patrolman Barry and Private Watch- man Logan accompanied Laobert to the store and after Barry tried the back door and started around to the front two men ran into the alley toward Carr street. Barry fired a shot at the men and ac- cidentally wounded Henry Smith, a ne- gro, who stepped into the alley just as the chase began. Smith was taken to the city -hospital with a bullet In his right thigh. The chase ended on a vacant lot at Twelfth and Carr, where Patro'man Marson, attracted by the shooting, found Katz. He Was breathing heavily and was persplring freely. Jesse Taylor. a negro, of 114 North Twelfth street, told the police he saw Katz run from the alley behind the feed store. The second suspect escaped while Bar- ry was attending to the wounded by- stander. At the Carr Street Station it was no- ticed that Katz's coat was covered with rust which corresponded with the condi- tion of the ImMasche safe. A long iron jimmy fashioned at one end In the shape of a duck’s bill—an instrument only re- cently introduced by New York safe robbers and the counterpart of one taken from a gang of safe robbers arrested here a month ago—was found lying on a bale of hay near the corner into which the safe had been rolled. Katz said he was 38 years old and that he came here from New York last Sat- urday night. He refused to say any- thing else about himself and when asked who was with him at the time he was running from the feed store he said 'de did not know.

GIRL BELIEVED FORGERY EASY WAY TO GET MONEY Stenographer Who Tried to Pass Check at Store Had Been Out of Work 3 Weeks. Irene Roeper, 19 years old, a steno- crapher living at 3127 Locust street, who was arrested for trying to pass a forged check, told the police she was under the impression it was the easiest way in the world to obtain money. Last- Saturday afternoon she went to a department store and asked for a blank check on the Mississippi Vallev Trust Co. and filled it out for $31.50, payable to ‘“‘Miss I. M. Graham.”’ She signed it “Mrs. G. D. Barnard,” having in mind, she told the _ police, Mrs. George D. Barnard of 35 Portland place, whom she had never seen or even heard of except that the name had been sug- rested by a girl friend. At the store of the Addison Suit and Cloak Co., Sixth stret and Washington sevenue, Miss Roeper ordered garments «amounting to $20.91, and then present- her forged check. The salesman looked at it and then at her. She blushed and when he said he would have to investigate it, she snatched it from his hand and said she would cal! \irs. Barnard and inquire about tite senuineness. Harry Greenstone, mati- ager of the store, turned Miss Roeper over to the police. She said she has ed _ been out of employment three weeks. ; ; simile « Big Business Always follows the use of our Letters, Mailing Lists, DEEMS, The Letter Man, 720 Olive.

Archbishop Glennon delivered a papal blessing Sunday at the Old Cathedrai, Third and Walnut streets, the occasion being the parish's last official celebra- tion of the diocesan feast of St. Louis. Next year's celebration will be at the new cathedral. Authorization to pro- nounce the blessing was given to the Pope Pius X on the Archbishop's recent visit to Rome. In a short address Archbishop Glen- non spoke of the present European con- flict as ‘‘the saddest of all wars.” He deacribed his visit to the Pope, who died while the Archbishop was on his way back to America.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE War and i ideniareiten, “To ‘the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. The present war situation in Europe and its timate outcome -will undoubtedly ccuse a heavy ux of immigrants from all war-stricken coun- Teg Such an emergency must be ;repared for before the country is stricken with an excess of newcomers. I have no doubt the first to arrive on our shores will be the agricultural elements, who ~will mostly suffer the burden of the war from fuination and heavy taxation. For the country’s development and for the sake of the newcomers who are soil producers, this in- flux could be successfully utilized in colonizing our vast and untouched agricultural regions of the West, South, North and East. To leave this task in the hands of individual colonizers would be a poor public policy, as we know the past experience of such colonization schemes. *JThe creation of a wide colonization movement involving all interests of the country is a ques- tion of our immediate public duty and conscience. The National Colonization Organization would have to be organized along the lines as follows: (1) To encourage farming among the immigrants and discourage their settlement in large cities less they are skilled mechanics. (2) To inves- tigate suitable locations and lands for colonies and assist in their organization. (3) To safe- guard the investors from misrepresentation and unscrupulous agents and enterprises: (4) When possible, find ways and means of financing of de- sirable colonists through feasible loans or vother- wise. (5) And also to co-operate with the rail- roads in inaugurating a low colonist rate year around. There is a way to raise sufficient funds for the aueretips and maintenance of the organization ins of contributions, membership dues, ap- prep! lations from commercial clubs, state and county development organizations and legitimate ad companies. Ys’éxpected that the Jewish Agricultural Aid Boectety; the Catholic Colonization Society and the colonization department of the~Italian Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and immigrant ‘societies throughout the country, will co-operate and extend their experience to further the cause. ' There is a great opportunity and an enormous field for the United States Departments of Agri- cul e and Immigration to do useful construc- itive work. Here is an excellent chance for the " Btate Board of Immigration to show their seful- hess. Undoubtedly the immigration committees of the Business Men's Leagues will take advantage of this movement and will get busy.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, MONDAY EVENING, “GPS ST, 19Ta~ WAR-MAKING IN THE DARK. Asking the question, “Can Europe ever again tolerate the peril of secret diplomacy?” the con- clusion of the London Daily News is that “The example of the United States must hereafter be- come the model of the civilized world.” It is early in the present struggle to begin bal- ancing the books, but one such expression as this gives us an accurate forecast of some of the accounts that are going to be settled, not by Kaisers or Kings, but by the people, when peace shall have been restored. Monarchy has always sneered at American diplomacy as of the shirt-sleeve variety. Because it was open, direct and honest it was pronounced uncouth. Because it refused to engage in in- trigue, it was held to be deficient in skill. Be- cause it kept faith, it was pityingly regarded as maladroit. But the worst of its offenses has al- ways been publicity. The war now raging in Europe is the direct result of royalty’s secret diplomacy. For a gen- eration past the great armaments there have been falsely represented as making for peace when we all know now that they were making for war. Everything relating to supreme governmental policies has been secret except the existence of the colossal war machines and the crushing taxes which have sustained them. In this way the censorships of peace have been A handful of men in each country knew what was going on. Hundreds of millions who are now ar- rayed against each other in battles as secret as the diplomacy that led to them had no more knowledge of the true situation than their rela- tives at home have now whether fathers and brothers and sons at the front are dead or alive. To praise the American idea of diplomacy is to exalt democracy. To denounce the secret diplo- macy of Europe is to assail divine right and ar- istocracy. The one proceeds on the theory that the people who bear the burdens of war and meet its sacrifices have a right to know its causes and to pass judgment upon them. The other places the sword in the hands of a monarch sur- rounded by countries and gun makers who con- tinue their wars in the dark and then blasphem- ously appeal to God, slow to wrath, and a people almost as patient to support their arms in a fight in the dark. Of late we have had some imitators of the secret diplomacy and censorships of the Old World, but with the tragic example now before us it is hardly possible that they can make further headway. When Europe was undergoing another scourge of war more than a century ago, Thomas Jefferson entreated his countrymen to take warn- ing and to “besiege the throne of heaven with personal prayers to extirpate from creation this class of human lions, tigers and mammoths called Kings, from whom let him perish who does not say ‘Good Lord, deliver us.’ ” Every gory field, every ruined town, every crowded hospital.and every desolate home today cries out against war secretly planned and ex- ecuted by monarchs. If the war of Kings does not end in a war upon Kings, no matter whose standards shall at last claim the victory, it. will bring nothing but loss and sorrow to mankind. i, hi — a CITY EMPLOYES’ ALLEGED ATTACK. St. Louis has two dog catchers whose official life, if the charges made against them are sub- stantiated, should be terminated as summarily as that of the unfortunate captives they make. When a kind-hearted woman on whose Franklin avenue premises they had trespassed sought to defend a dog from their seizure, they are said to have attacked her with the implements of their trade, the wire loops with which-dogs are ensnared, dragging her with her neck in the leop.: ‘They are also’ said to have assailed with these unpleasant weapons two men who came to her rescue. A long list of offenses might be based on their alleged acts from the moment of the original trespass. One of them is resisting police officers on the ground that as “city officials” they were immune from arrest. Their fellow “officials,” including police magistrates as well as all citt- zents, have a special interest in removing this claim for exemption by removing them from the payroll. a Lp Lr i ‘A NEW ‘‘REDEEMING VICE.’’ Ignoring Mark Twain’s warning that «every man ought to retain at least one “redeeming vice” in order not to lose all sympathetic fellowship with his frail brother and sister mortals—‘‘born to trouble as the sparks fly upward’—the Metho- dist Episcopal Church South lately forbade its ministers to use tobacco in any form. Many of them, or of their venerated predecessors in the Southern pulpits, who in earlier times indulged with proprieity in the occasional use of potable stimulants, found, when that indulgence was forbidden, a compensating solace in pipe, cigar, plug or fine cut. Flesh, accustomed through uncounted generations to receive in hours of intellectual stress the aid of one or another concentrated stimulant, could not com- fortably endure the instant and entire with- drawal of all such external spurs to clear think- ing and eloquent speaking. For very many, then, tobacco took the place of the wine cup and the corn dew bracer, and if any stern Puritan ob- jected to the shift as an evasion rather than a reform, that Puritan’s voice was smothered under a general chorus of approval of a change which most folk regarded as at any rate a forward step toward human perfection. It seems to have been believed, or hoped, by the promoters of the ban recently placed upon tobac- co, that with the abolition of the weed no other Labit-forming substitute would be in demand. if so, they reckoned without due consideration of mankind's immemorial weakness. A substitute has been found. “Ginger root,” the Houston Chronicle informs us, “is what the ministers have fend will help to divert the ecclesiastical mind. Tte use is prescribed by Rev. Dr. Samuel Steel of Columbia, S. C., and it is being taken up all over the South.” We confess we are not greatly surprised by this intelligence. Humanity moves slowly forward looking backward. Man climbs to loftier heights with gaze turned wistfully downward to the mel- low plains from which, under the spur of his ever- increasing wisdom, he departs for higher levels. Often he refuses the proposed advance and trav- els in a cycle- back to some long-abangoned tent- ing ground of racial habit. 1 is so with this re- | adoption of the habit of chewing the ginger root. It is a vastly older human indulgence than the chewing and smoking of tobacco. Thousands of years ago the natives of India, China, Arabia and other portions of the ancient East dallied with the “punch” which nature secretes within the root of the ginger plant. They do it to this day. It is perhaps significant that the world’s finest, most stimulating ginger is found in Jamaica, the home of a liquid stimulant which has won a globe- girdling sanction among adventurous males under the name of Jamaica ginger. It is possible the cost of using ginger will be less than that of using tobacco; there may be some economic saving. How much, if any, only time can determine. We doubt not many wives who have often, in suppressed bitterness, secretly --sometimes, alas, openly—computed the number of rugs, gowns, hats, pictures, et cetera, which might have been bought with father’s tobacco money will soon be making similar computations upon father’s outlay for ginger root. Some wom- en, very likely, will esteem the chewing of the root a less elegant habit than the smoking of a fragrant Havana, or even of a beloved pipe. This is particularly likely to be true of thcse incom- parable wives who rejoiced to witness the pleas- ure father got of his tobacco; who never grudged him that simple solace of laborious days. In any event, the pastors of the vigorous and spiritually militant Methodist Episcopal Church South have given us all a worthy illustration of the admonition, “Physician, heal thyself.” They are, as they see it, “setting a good example” to the members of their several flocks. If the force of that example be somewhat dulled by the accept- ance of ginger root as a substitute for the repudi- ated witchery of the weed, why, we can still find merit in the performance by accepting the nobil- ity of the original intention instead of captiously laying stress upon the incompleteness of the per- formance. And perhaps, after all, Mark Twain, who lowed us more and therefore knew us better than most men, was right about it. a A Ae '-_—- THE FIRST WORLD WAR. There have been 11 formal declarations of war made during August. This is the list: Austria-Hungary against Servia, Germany against Russia, Germany against France, Ger- many against Great Britain, Austria-Hungary against Russia, Great Britain against Austria- Hungary, Germany against Belgium, France against Austria-Hungary, Japan against Germany, Austria-Hungary against Japan, Austria-Hungary against Belgium. Montenegro engaged in the fighting against Austria-Hungary without a formal declaration. Portugal participates by virtue of a treaty en- gagement to supply 10,000 men to Great Britain if the latter be attacked by two or more powers. Spain, Italy, Turkey, Roumania, Holland, Den- mark, Norway, Sweden, Greece and Switzerland are thus far out of it. If drawn into the melee, Turkey, Roumania and Bulgaria are expected to join the Teutonic allies, Italy and perhaps Hol- land, the Anglo-French-Russian-Belgian-Japanese group. Every continent has already supplied men for the contending armies. North and South Amer- ican citizens have volunteered chiefly in the French and English forces. Reserves from this country and from South America have gone back home by hundreds to serve under all the warring banners. France’s African colonial forces, shoul- der to shoulder with East Indians, Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders, are stubbornly resisting the German advance on Paris. Japa- nese are besieging Germans at Kiauchau, and French statesmen are calling on England to urge Japan #0 send a huge army to join the allies against the Germans in Europe. It is the first world war in human history. Compared with it, the American Civil War, the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the Russo-Japa- nese War and the British-Boer War shrink to the dimensions of mere local disturbances. ‘= = a SIDEWALK MARKETS. It is quite useless to invest municipal funds in public markets for sidewalk trading, unless the municipalities also guard against price-fixing combinations too often formed by the lessees of market stalls. These local combinations, com- plained of wherever American cities have estab- lished market houses, often lay a heavier cost-of- living tax upon the consumer than that which is alleged to be imposed by the national food com- binations. = = we = THE PERIL OF 1772 AMERICANS. The Olympic, carrying 1772 passengers, or more than the Titanic carried.on her ill-fated trip, came across the last time with an armament of four six-inch guns in place as a protection against German cruisers. What would she have done if she had met a warship of the enemy? This question is of a good deal more importance to Americans with rela- tives among the passenger list than the question whether the vessel had forfeited her merchant marine status on her arrival in New York. We want no encounters between liners and gun- boats that will invite a worse horror than the encounter of the Olympic’s sister ship witb an iceberg. = = i i RICHARD HARDING DAVIS ESCAPES. We are glad the Kaiser did not shoot our correspondent. The old plea in extenuation of the sage brush theater, that the performer was doing the best he could, seems_in point. Besides, after the fine notice Mr. Davis gave the Kaiser's army as it was passing through Brussels, it would have been very unclubby, not to say very un- grateful, in the Kaiser to shoot him. The capture by the Boers of Winston Churchill while he was serving as a war correspondent in South Africa was the biggest asset of his early life. For several years afterward he lectured on his experiences in English-speaking countries, in- cluding America, making a great deal of money, and from the lecture platform went onto the stump, then gained a Parliament seat and still later won his present Cabinet job. Even if Mr. Davis has no taste for politics, a glittering career on the chautauqua circuit is a possibility on his return. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, we are glad the Kaiser did fiot shoot him. A war correspondent full of steel- jacketed 7.9 millimeter bullets is not much help to the home office ~— | ane ——_— JUST A MINUTE. Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams, THE READER’S WAR GUIDE, The German advance across our front page was checked yesterday, and we all got a much needed rest. The Germans still held the page, but they did not do anything much, It is expected that there Will be very hard fighting on the page today. The Allies have it figured out that the Germans have about shot their bolt, and that once they are turned there will be a route through the paper that will only end in the back page comics along with the doings of Alkali Ike. All the Allies on the inside pages are hoping for this, and preparing for it, and if the Germans do go through they will go on the jump. We hardly look for it. The Germans have, no doubt, paid a terrible price for the progress they have made toward Paris, but there are a lot of them. We look to them to hold the page the rest of this week, anyway. For the first time since the war be- gan the Russians on the second page failed to hold it yesterday. They had it in spots, but some of them had been driven off on the third page by the Germans opposing the Russian ad- vance. The advertisements having been removed from this page, there was no such thing as hiding on it anywhere, and the Russians might be said to have had a bad day of it. Great masses of them were seen mov- ing across it during the day, headed for the fourth page. The Austrians and the Russians who have been fighting in the back of the paper moved Up 8 little nearer the front yesterday, and there is a chance that they will fight on the second or third page this week. The fight- ing we have been having there has been of a desultory sort, in which nobody does very much damage, and we plan to promote some of the other fighting to that important place in the paper if it proves worthy. We are playing no fnvorites. If the Ger- , an A TES and the Allies who have had the front page to themselves do not do any more fighting today than they cid yesterday, we will advance the Rus- sians and Austrians to that position. The kind of war they make is not very deadly, but there are oodles of them, they make what might be termed a hell of a din, and it will sell papers. PROSE POEM. Along in summer, as a rule, the glad- dest words are “fair and cool.” They have a breezy little swing that ener- gizes everything. The laggard foot be- gins to beat a tit- tat-too upon the street. The disposition sniffs the air, and beams about it everywhere. Tha hopeful merchant sees his chance, and rings up something in advance. The weary copper in the street resumes the perils of his beat. A fine impression gets about that most of us will s@ck it out. A brisk imaginary breeze be- gins to murmur fn the trees. The heavy eye begins to light with visions beau- tiful and bright, and certain promises withal remark the imminence of fall. The weather man, it may be said, is not infallible ahead. He very often makes the brave Elijah clamor in his But still, we cannot, as a rule condemn his te of “fair and cool.” He cannot throw ft on the screen but happiness will He may net hit it as he should, but promise does a world of good. It animates the fainting heart, and gives the pendulum a start. The weary wheels begin tc turn, and life becomes a fine concern. The very combination seems an augury of pleasant dreams. The thought of frost is cool and sweet, and laughter }echoes in the street. A _ wilted poet thinks of fall, and hears the wild goose Ss und his call. The well-known person with the hoe revives with memories o? snow, and never commendation ran s9 fast as to the weather man. You cannot beat his “fair and cool,” for all our kicks and ridicule, nor all the patents we possess for generating happiness. It does the business right along, and whether right or whether wrong, we still, through him, have haply met the prize word combinatfbn yet. A SOLDIER’S TOAST. Here's to the field emblazoned in glory!

The favored seven had been chosen and a notice to that effect posted on the door of room 427. Two weeks later there appeared si- ‘multaneously in various sections of the city seven dapper little men, who mo sooner removed their hats than there was disclosed to view a device more striking than the poet's classic “Excelsior.” On the shining crown ef each little man’s bald head, writ- ten in a new growtl® of silky hair, were the words ASK M EB The public immediately became a smiling interrogation point, and it was learned from these human letter- heads that some time during the fol- ‘owing month there would be placed upon the market a hair restorer war- ranted to grow hair on the stubborn- est bald head in two weeks’ time. The words “Ask Me” were material proof of the hair restorer’s claims.

It was now that something un- elit J sole possessor of the marvelous hair restorer was accidentally injured on the head by falling mortar, and lost all recollection of his great secret. For better security he had told no one of the chemical formula of the restorative, and for the same reason he had not placed the formula in writ- ing, and the seven little baldheaded men gasped when they learned the true state of affairs and realized the predicament in which they were placed. They must now go through life with the device “Ask Me” written across their heads by nature’s indel- ible hand, unless they possessed the courage to have it removed, hair by hair, by the electric needle, or—igno- ble resort—shaved their heads fre- quently, like so many Chinamen. One of their number—the wit— suddenly arose and left the ~ room where they had gathered to discuss the situation. A few minutes later it was recalled he had boasted of having in his possession a vial of the precious hair restorer, and his six friends arose and hurried after him. The Wit Sneaks Home. UT the wit had aroused his strap- K ping wife and boys to the exigen- cies of the situation, and safely, behind the barred doors, he coolly ap- plied to his scalp a liberal quantity of the marvelous hair-producing fluid. From his window he could see his late companions-in-advertisement gath- ered on the sidewalk looking wistfully and enviously at his door, and he pitied them from the bottom of his heart. But there remained only sufficient restora- tive to grow one full head of hair, and if anyone needed hair he did. He rubbed into his scalp the precious drops of golden liquid and wiped his fingers on his chin. “Friends can always be had,’’ he meditated thoughtfully, ‘‘but hair once gone returns no more!” wne by one his late companions dis- persed, as they realized the utter fu- tility of protest or appeal under the circumstances, and the wit remained locked in his room for a week, at the end of which period he sallied forth with a luxurious growth of silky red hair, such as he had not possessed even as a boy. But he found his friends lighter heart- ed and more forgiving than he had ex- pected. They had discovered that by letting the device “Ask Me’’ grow to a good length it could be skillfully brushed and parted to represent a ful] head of hair, and this discovery had softened their hearts toward their more fortu- nate companion.

After all, it lies with the mother what her daughter shall be and do, and she is apt to make one of two mistakes. Either she is ultra-sirict in the matter of her daughter's personal appearance, thereby antagonizing the girl, or she herself adopts every sartorial sensation and therefore cannot object to her child’s following the same course. The second situation is unfortunately not uncommon. But is there any moth- er today who errs—who is permitted to err—on the side of severity? The mistake which the modern moth- er most frequently makes in the man- agement of her daughters is simply an absence of all management. There ‘s no human being who enjoys a greater amount of “personal liberty’’ than the average American girl between the |" the modern mother to blame for Mooers Marshall. ages of 12 and 20. And, so far as this young lady is concerned, her mother is a model of cowed submissiveness. Mrs. Wharton has presented a finely satiri- cal picture of the anomalous situation in her latest novel, ‘“‘The Custom of the Country.”’ This is the point: The mother knows how a girl who is at once overdressed and underdressed impresses beholders. Frequently the girl herself does not know. She sees the smiles of men, but not the sarcasm, the insulting doubt, back of them. And what- ever criticism she receives from members of her own sex she at once attributes to jealousy or prudishness. So mother is bullied into tolerance of the rouge-box and the audacious cos. tumes. But is she absolved of respon- sibility? Has she any right to fold her hands in weakness and meekness, while "The wortine: GIRL If BConom'!CALLY OF HER PARENTS ” Yoo ovGuT TD A Be ASHAMED: mal ONLY JOnNMes AQe ATTRaCTes @yr THE “Erxed-ve’ @arnit * Niort ne 1 PAY For (T - ( Quegs ZZ WS her daughter makes a holy spectacle of herself? I have no doubt many a mother wishes in her heart that Gladys or Clara would dress more simply and modestly. But how is any timid suggestion to that effect received? “Mother, don’t be old- fashioned!” “Mother, you can’t understand!” “I guess I’m old enough to know how to dress!” And then there is the threat which reduces to docility the most contumacious mother—If you’re going to nag me all the time I won't stay at home. TlI'll get a room somewhere, and then I can do as I please!” She can only be restrained by her mother. Can the latter refuse to put at the service of her child her own of its censorious tongues? And if it is necessary to reinforce that knowledge by authority the really loving mother will not hesitate. Real love never de- gen@rates to the point of spinelessness; that is the final stage of sloppy senti- mentality. If a mother would talk things over with her daughter, discuss the styles. tactfully showing their bad points (which after all are not so many), and frankly pointing out the good ones, we would not have so many freakishly dressed ‘‘kiddies”’ on the street today. The real, good, true. common-sensed girl knows this better than I can say it, this plain statement of fact: There are some girls who do not use white- wash, enormous bulgings of hair and extremely low necks on the street.

Chapter LXXIII. STOOD for some time looking at | the picture before I turned it around. Then for some time longer I looked at the painted image of my- self, wondering all the time how Jack could be so cruel. It was after midnight when Jack came in, and we went directly to bed. He answered my questions anent his evening pleasantly, but volunteered no information. By this time I had become pretty well acquainted in Highland Terrace and with the best people. That is, with the people that lived the best. I had joined not only one but several clubs. I played bridge nearly every day for hours, and for money. Not for small sums, but for large ones. And instead of playing, as I used to, for the pleasure I had Ip the game, I played for the money. I was fast becoming that useless creature —a BRIDGE FIEND. I was fortunate, usually. The other women called me “lucky,” but I had made the game a study, determined to win, and to have a little money of whicn Jack knew nothing. So the time I should have devoted to other things was spent in studying all the intricacies of the game. Of course Jack knew I played and that I won occasionally. But when my winnings were large I never told him, but saved them until I had enough to open a checking account in New York. Mildred—Who had joined one of the Terrace clubs—ad- vised me as to which bank would be the best for me. “I Grow Reckless Again.” FTER a time I again grew care- HA less as to the bills I ran. For a time I had been most punctil- ious, but as Jack persisted in a sort of a coldness toward me—nothing that I could talk about or complain of but that I felt—I grew reckless. He had told me only once of anything he had heard at the office, and I at once told Mildred. It had not See ae Ie not @ dye.

I imagine it meant more to Ned Som- ers, although I could see that Mildred was a trifle disappointed. “Aren't you going it pretty fast, Sue?” Jack asked one day when I told him I was going to give a din- ner party, the second one that week. ‘No faster than those we go with,” I replied; “we have to keep our end up, don’t we?” “I suppose so! Who's coming?’ | “Oh, Harry and Fanny Eberhardt, Ned and Mildred, and Mr. and Mrs. Holman—that’s all. Just enough to make two tables at bridge after din- ner.” “Do have a simple dinner, Sue. I don't see why you think it necessary to make your little affairs cost so much!" Jack grumbled. Then, “I be- lieve you begrudge the time you sleep because it takes you from bridge!” Ignoring his last remark, I asked, “Why don’t you try to get something more in the market, Jack, if you are getting worried over the expenses?’ “It looks as though I would have to! I'll ask Cosgrove tomerrow if he hasn’t something on.”’ I was delighted. Jack had never be- fore volunteered to ask anyone to give him any information. He had invaria- bly waited until it was proffered. Per- haps now he would make more money, make it more quickly. And, as usual, discounting what he had said, I made my little dinner more elaborate than I had at first intended. Jack Has Another Good Tip. HE fellowing day when Jack came T home to dress for our dinner party he told me he had some informa- tion that was bound to put us on easy street. He hadn't been so like himself since the affair of the picture—which, by the way, was in Mr. Howell's hands —and looking closely at him, I asked: “Have you been drinking, Jack?” “Why, no! Why do you ask that?’ “Yeur eyes shine so and you act s0 No. 7-—Sedan. ! iE Germans had hammered one of T France's two armies across Alsace- Lorraine and had bottled it up (with its luckless commander, Gen. Ba- zaine) in the fortified city of Metz, where it could do no more damage or strike another blow for France. The second French army, under Mac- Mahon, was treated in the same way. It was forced back, outfought, out-ma- neuvered, until it reached Sedan. Here the French massed for a final stand. The Emperor Napoleon III was with this army of MacMahon’s. The approaching battle was his last desper- ate chance to save hig tottering throne. The Germans, oddly enough, had no idea that the Emperor was there. The battle of Sedan was opened by a German attack early on Sept. 1, 1870. The French were defeated at everv point and were driven back into the city itself. Here they were helpless. They had no provisions; they were short ammunition; they were without chance. And, the very next day, Sept. 2, Na- poleon ITY surrendered himself and his —well—so exhilarated!” “Oh, I got a little excited talking with the old man. He is surely enthu- siastic."’ “I do hope it will turn out just ag he thinks it wfll and that you will make a lot of money. I’m so tired, Jack, of being economical.” “YOU economical! Why, lately you have acted as though you didn’t know the meaning of the werd. Then, more soberly: “I only hope Cosgrove is right. I would like to give you everything you want, Sue, then perhaps you would stop trying to deceive me.” Just as I was about to make an angry reply Norah called me and not until my guests came did I remember that he had not told me what the stock was that he hoped to do so well with. All through dinner I thought of it and I, too, became excited over the idea. This time I was sure—by Jack's manner—that he had something worth while. Then I thotight of my promise to Mildred. I musn’t forget to ask Jack the name of the stock, so that I could call her up in the morning. The dinner went off without a hitch. Acting on Mrs. Elberhardt’s advice, I had one of the waiters from the club come over and serve.

All Teams Lack Punch. This hard schedule almost assures the followers of the National League race of a close finish to this year’s ‘Soreamble.

Starting on July 31, ton, they were beaten Tyler. Griner worked for the Cards. The next day Rudolph beat Perdue 2—0, while James then subdued Perritt 4—3 in 10 innings. The final game of the series was Griner’s one-hit de- feat at the hands of Tyler, 1—0. In the weries here, Perdue and Griner yeat Rudolph 3—2, while James immed Perritt and Gri- ner 4—0.

By ron three out of four to the Braves, the Cards dropped back to third place, three full games behind the lead- ers. They are two and one-half games below the Braves and one and one-half games ahead of the Cubs. If the worst comes to the worst, the Cards, by any kind of consistent effort, should retain third place. At all hazards they are a first division club this season, which is a whole lot better than last year’s eighth placer. More Spark N eeded. Hug’s team isn't the noisy, aggressive type. There still are a few hand-shak- ers on the club and a whole raft of those nice, ‘‘quiet fellows who are so well behaved on and off.’ But this sort of player doesn’t prosper much when aligned against belligerent ban- tams like Evers and Maranville, not to mention Red Smith. The Braves fight their way through and they have been known to exhibit their steel spikes in a tight play at the base. In Sunday's game Lee Magee was the only Cardinal player besides Manager Huggins who fought to the finish. Cozy Dolan, a bear against Brooklyn, didn’t seem to have as much to say as usual, while Wilson, Riggert and a few others didn’t breathe a word to a soul.

Wilbert Robinson, Brooklyn leader, is a firm believer that Johnny McGraw is going to repeat, but he is going to try and make the race as close as possible by taking two or three games from the metropolitan crowd befcre the season ls over. Robinson said recently that Ma- thewson will lead the Giants down the stretch to victory by enough of a mar- n to make them feel comfortable. He oes not underestimate the Braves, but laces his belief in Giant success on the act that they have been through the mill and better able to stand an excit- t Ling finish than their younger opponents.

Miner Brown Writes Feds He Would Like to Rejoin Local Team While the Terriers are in Chicago to- day, playing a double-header with Joe Tinker's clan, it is very probable that ex-manager Miner Brown’s standing with the club will be settled. After he had been succeeded as boss of the club, by Fielder Jones, Brown took French leave and before departing stated that he would not play as a private on a ball club that he had been manager of. He wanted to go elsewhere, especially to join Joe Tinker, his old teammate. Tinker also wanted Brownie but would not come across with the players de- manded by the local club. But now Brownie has changed his mind and wants to come back to join the Terriers. Before the local moguls departed for Chicago, where they will be present at the reception tendered to Fielder Jones, og é it was stated that Brown had ask © be granted a pri- Vate's —, rng the ranks. He is now in Chicago and while the Terrier officials are in the Windy City they will confer with him. Brown's changed attitude is puzzling.

A., yesterday proved that he is as competent a tutor of wom- en paddlers as he is with the masculine swimmers. Whitaker prepped three of the entrants in the women’s two-mile river swim, held under the auspices of the Western Rowing Club yesterday afternoon. Thib trio monopolized on the first three places, the winner, Miss Evelyn Burnett winning with such ease as to make the race uninteresting after the mile mark. Miss Bennett repre- sented the Carondelet Motor Boat Club. Her time for the course was 32 min- utes 49 seconds. Miss Grace Stewart, 16-year-old en- trant of the Fairground Poo), finished second, while Miss Margaret Duff, also of the municipal tank, took third place. Twenty had entered the event, but only 18 took the start at the foot of Cherokee street, one more than entered the water last year. Three were un- able to complete the course. The start was a pretty one, all of the swimmers hitting the water almost simultaneously. After a few strokes, Miss Burnett assumed the lead and was never headed thereafter. She finished about a minute and a half ahead of her nearest opponent. She receives the beau- tiful Lemp cup as a result of her vic- tory. , — ‘TF TABLE NATIONAL LEAGUE, Standing of the Clubs.

NO CHANGE FOR STOCK EXCHANGE 10 OPEN SOON Developments Over Sunday) Show No Change in the. Market Situation. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Pest-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Aug. 51.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “A very visible feeling of depression, over the course of the war in France, appeared in all financial market places today. That feeling again arose from the inference that the German victories —especially after the ruthless perform- ances at Antwerp and Louvain—were far more likely to mean a pene and desperate resistance and therefore a protracted war, than had heretofore been expected. “It would once more have been a matter of great interest could the silent stock market have spoken. As it was, the whole wheat market seemed to give most reflection to the sentiment of the day; it rose again with great violence— which itewould hardly have been likely to do if the instinct of the market had inferred another 1870 and 1871, from the German advancement on Paris.” The Money Market. “Foreign exchange appeared to be less affected than before by this question of duration of the war, but that market has been moving on the basis of prob- lems of its own. “Its immediate future course will de- pend much more:’on the action of our market in regard to such projects as the Canadian gold credit fund than on the outcome of battles and sieges. “It is quite in point by way of contri- bution to discussions of whether or not we can spare such gold as may be need- ed to settle our actual maturities to re- fer to Saturday’s New York bank re- turns. “Where $30,000,000 cash (almost wholly gold) is known to have been taken from the banks for hoarding, in the opening week of August, their cash reserves have increased $8,000,000 subsequently, al- though some §7,000,000 has gone out to the Government and the interior. Banks in the clearing house now hold in cash ne ns cent of their deposit liabilities, and nearly 70 per cent of their $326,000, - 000 cash reserve is gold. Under the new reserve law, a city bank will have to hold only 15 per cent in all, against even its demand deposits.”’ The Cotton Report. “It is impossible not to recogrize a certain grim irony surrounding to- day’s Government cotton crop esti- mate. Growing conditions during August are shown to have raised the promise of the yield—notably in Texas, Where the prospect is eight per cent better than a month ago and 15 per cent better than in 1893—that the crop's average condition is the largest reported in this month since 1904. The average per centage of 78 compares with 68% a year age, when the eventual viela was 14,000,000 bales, or the second largest ‘in our history. This difference so far off- Sets the four per cent decrease in pentes acreage this year that the epartment of Agriculture today in- terprets from “the condition figures” an indicated yield of 15,000,000 bales. “Under normal circumstances in the world at large, this estimate would have had a potent influence for the bet- ter on financial and business sentiment. As it is, with a very great part of the foreign market (which in all consumes nearly two-thirds of our annual cotton production) shut off from us bv war, a “bumper crep’’ would inspire producers with strangely mixed emotions. “The questions how muclr of a genu- inely large crop could be stored to re- serve it for later marketing, what it would cost to store it, and on what basis the proce could oe financed, are matters of real not epee *— “In time this proBlem like others cre- ated by the war in Europe will solve itself; but scarcely without some con- siderable sacrifice in values. That sac- rifige, the cotton producing community will eventually have to assent: for even if it were possible to preserve artificial Valuations by banking or Government assistance, the result of that would- be to spoil the market which is still left open, and greatly to complicate the fu- ture position of the holder of warehouse cotton.” BUTTER MARKET FIRM; EGGS ARE UNCHANGED General Produce Is Quotably Unchanged—Veals Are Steady.

The buying was based on the theory that the war will be a protracted one, which, with a present shortage in Eurppe’s wheat crop of over 200,000,000 bu, and prospects of a vastly reduced acreage next year, should assure very high prices for American wheat.

But,’’ he says, “I hope yer good sinse’!ll prevail all t‘'rough, an’ youse’ll remimber th’ part o’ all good Amerikins is to remain strickly nootrul.”’ “Which, Boss?” I says. says he. “Take no sides.
