Bench warrants were issued for all the indicted men, who are local com- mission merchants or produce dealers and bail was arranged for their ap- pearance in court. No nationally known concerns were indicted. The indictment charges that they have been fixing prices every day on food stuffs by “ballots” or “sugges- tions” or verbal agreements and that the fixed prices have been circulated by printed circulars. The indictments are under the Sherman law and con- year’s imprisonment or both. The grand jury investigation, which was under the direction of former Attorney-General McReynolds was one of many begun by the Depart- ment of Justice immediately after President Wilson's celebrated letter to the Department of’ Justice direct- ing to country-wide inquiry into whether certain dealers were not making the European war a pretext for raising prices.

ENGLAND Prime Minister Asquith Says Nations Have Entered on Long War and That All Resources of Men Must Be Available—Blames Kaiser for Conflict. . By ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON, Sept. 4—Premier Asquith said today that 30,000 native troops from India already were on their way to the battle fields of France, and that enlistments in Earl Kitchener’s new armies already number between 250,000 and 300,000 men. The Prime Minister spoke before a meeting in historic Guild Hall, where means to encourage enlistment were devised. Referring to the Indian troops, Premier Asquith said that two divisions of that magnificent army were on their way. Their as- sociation with the Home and the Dominion troops, he declared. would maintain the flag which symbolizes ‘unity and which no arms could dissever or dishonor. . He made an appeal to noncommissioned officers to return to the army and offer their services. The Premier said his appeal was addressed as much to employers as to the men who should be assured reinstatement in their positions on their return. As to the progress of the war, the Premier declared that in his judgment in whatever direction he looked, there was abundant grounds for pride and comfort. ‘“T will not say more,”’ he said, ‘‘because I think we should bear in mind that we are at the present time watching the fluectu- ations of fortune in the early stages of what is going to be a pro- tracted struggle. We must cultivate patience, endurance and steadfastness and everyone must do his or her appropriate part in the common cause.’’ “We now find ourselves involved with alyzed in our sense Of honor and du;y+ to be false to our word and faithless to @ur friends?

The Commander in Chief says in the message: “With the extreme joy and thank- ing God, I announce to Your Maj- esty that the victorious army under Gen. Russky captured Lemberg at ll o’clock this morning. The army of Gen. -Brussiloff has taken Haliscz, 63 miles southeast of Lemberg. “I beg Your Majesty to confer on Gen: Russky, in recognition of serv- ices preceding the battles, the fourth class of the Order of St. George, and for the capture of Lemberg the third class of the same order; and on Gen. Brussiloff the fourth class of the game order.’’ “Beginning of the End.’ The Times correspondent in Petro-] grad sends the following under date of Thursday: ‘Information telegraphed by the head- quarters staff today encourages the hope that the victory at Lemberg is only the beginning of the end. The re- treat of such an enormous force, re- liably estimated at eight army corps, (about 300,000), taken in conjunction with the rout of the army which was to serve screen.to their defeat, already spells disaster complete and overwhelm in. Information obtained by the War Office shows that the garrison has al- ready been preparing positions at Grun- dcnt, 2% miles to the westward on the railway to Przemysl. é “The fall of Lemoerg which is the junction of eight important railway lines, renders the Russians absolute masters of the whole of Eastern Gali- cia.”” The Post’s Petrograd correspondent wires that prisoners brought to the Rus- sian base reported that part of the Rus- sian forces entered Lémberg quite in aceordance with the plan of the Com- mander in Chief. The Austrians, ac- cording to these reports, opened the last stage of the week's conflict around Lemberg bz a determined attack on the Russians between Kubl, Lublin and Kholm. About 120 miles north of Rus- sian territory the attacks failed and the Russians assumed the offensive, the Austrian army retiring southward ard receiving terrible punishment from the pursuing Russians. Entrenchments Behind Lemberg. The next day the Russian army moved forward along the whole 20-mile front to about 40 miles southeast of Lemberg All along the line the Russians at- tacked vigorously, and when the second Austrian army, which was posted east of Lemberg, broke and fled, the Rus- sians captured in the immediate vicinity of Lemberg a score of guns. The for- ward movement of the Russians con- tinued without interruption. The Aus- trians have entrenched in a strong po- sition west of Lemberg at ,Gorodsk, 18 miles back, upon which to retire when forced past Lemberg. Of the magnitude of the Russian vic- tory before Lemberg there can be no cuestion, the correspondent adds. The Austrian forces amounted to no less than 203.600 men with 500 artiiers pieces. Tiere were three complete army corps, the Third, Eleventh ane Twelftn, and parts of Fourteenti, and Seventh.

T is now the accepted belief, in military circles here, that Germany has no intention of conducting a long siege of Paris. Germany has not time for a siege, having other matters to attend to. Instead, it is believed, the Ger- mans, with the same recklessness of life which they have shown hitherto, will attack some point in the chain of fortresses, and will try with their Krupp guns to force a breach through which the city can be entered. That was what they did at.Liege and Namur. Czar Says Germany Will Pay in Prussia ‘for Tax on Belgium COPENHAGEN, via London, Sept. 4.—The Emperor of Russia, in a let- ter to a relative in this, city, says that all the money that Belgium has been made to pay to Germany, the latter country will be forced to repay, with interest, in East Prus- sia. es raised to three divisions, of which the third is made up of reserves. By this victory Russia has put out of action a quarter of the total Austrian first-line troops and captured nearly a quarter of the Austrian artillery, besides ccmmanding all roads leading from Gai- icia into Hungary. The Galicians warmly welcomed the Russian troops, according t» the prisoners, who also spoke of the ‘terrible execution of the Russian art!}- lery. The Petrograd correspondent of the Times, in a report on the operations, says: “The forts of Lemberg “have fallen and other Austrian armies have been en- gaged in Northern Galicia near Lublin. We yet may have to chronicle the com. plete disruption of the dual monarchy’s armed forces. Operations Over 200 Miles. “The operations extended over an enormous front of 30 miles and probably a million and a half men were engaged.

These once grasped, the complexity of the | dispatches disappears. To take the geographical first. If a line be drawn from Czernowitz, where the Russian, Rumanian and Austrian frontiers meet, to Berlin it will mark pretty accurately the point where the great Ruagian plain meets the first con- siderable mountain barrier west of the Ural. From Czernowits almost to Ber- lin on this line the Carpathian and Bo- hemian ranges form a solid wall. Again, draw a line from Memel, the Prussian town farthest north and east, to Berlin, and, again, roughly speaking. all to the north of it will be the Baltic. to the south the mainiand. Between Memel and Czernowitz is perhaps 800 miles, between the Baltic and the Saxon raountains less than 250. Fianks Protected. It is plain, then, that a Russian in: its left on the Carpatians and its center half way between the two, would move o1 Berlin, its flanks protected by natu- ral obstacles, the sea and the mountains, itg front slowly advancing, and thus causing its battle line to contract. Now, as to the political. If a letter “U" is drawn with its two upper potnts on Memel and Csernowitz, it will ap- proximately mark the political frontiers —the semicircle will be Russian Poland, while north and east German Prussia and south and east Austrian Galicia wil) half surround the Russian Polish terri- tory. At the nearest point to Berlin, that is, at the westernmost point in the semicircle, just east of Posen, the Rus- sian frontier is not more than 200 miles from the German. capital. The natural expectation, then, might have been, in fact was, that Ruasie would at once send a huge army to Posen and on to Berlin. But for mili- tary reasons this was wholly imprac- ticable. Mobilized Far Back. So long as the Germans held Past Prussia, the Austrians Galicia, their armies, advancing south and north, re- spectively, would cut such a Russian advance off from Rugsian territory and envelope and surround it. Because of this fact Russian mobiliza- tion began, not in Russian territory nearest Posen, that is nearest to Ber- lin, but far back, almost exactly on the line between Memel and Cuzernowitz, while it was left to Warsaw and a number of other fortresses west of this mobilization line to hold back any Aus- tro-German attempt to occupy Russian Poland, which was defended only by covering troops. Now, consider what has happened. First of all, we had a Russian advance toward Koenigsberg, which is just south of Memel; the investment of the city and the rapid flowing west of Russian troops moving on, with the Baltic on their flank, to clear East Prussia of German troops. Despite reverses about Allenstein, it appears that the movement is still going on. As compared with the southern move- ment, it is a smaller operation, for Ger- many has really few soldiers to spare on the East. Both Bound for Berlin, Turning to the south, now, it will be noted that the great Russian army com- ing west on a line between Czernowitz at.d Lemberg has met and defeated the Austrian army, driving it west and north, back of its final line of intrench- ments along the San and Vistula Rivers Thus it will be seen that one army is moving toward Berlin from the north- cest, with the Baltic on ite right flank. through East Prussia, the other toward Berlin, with the Carpathians on its left. There remains the center. But this must conform to the wings, consequently | vrasion which had its right on the Baltic,‘ the Russian center ig not yet west of Warsaw—and the Russian territory be- tween Warsaw and the German frontier is practically empty of troops. Taking advantage of this, German and Austrian forces have pushed into Poland, and penetrated to Lods and toward Lublin. If they continue east. they must pres- ently meet the Russian center, but if Russian success on their flanks con- tinue, they must fall back to avoid dis- aster. In a large way, then, it is possible to think of this enormous Russian army marching straight west toward Berlin, one to flank on the moun- tains, the other on the sea, both flanks in the enemy’s territory, but the center still in Russia, ahd con- fronted by an invading force of Aus- trians and Germans. Vistula Fortified. Having invested Koenigsberg, and ta- ken Lemberg, the Russian flanks must now face two very serious obstacies. Moving west in Eastern Prussia, they will presently come to the Vistula, which is defended by very strong for- tresses from Danzig to Thorn, through Graudensz. Moving west thro Galicia, they will encounter the beatén Austrian army drawn up behind the Vistula and the Sau Rivers, their right resting on the Carpathians, their left on the Vistula, the center on the strong fortress of Przemysl. Meantime, their center will encounter the Austro-Ruasian invaders west of Warsaw. If they are victorious in Galicia, where their main forces are, and where the bulk of all the Austrian military force cepposes them, then all Galicia will be lost, the center of the Austro-German defense will have to retire, being out- flanked, and the German flank on the Vistula will also be worthless, because Russia will be west of the Vistula wita her center and left. Line of Russian Advance Presuming this success, it will then be possible for Russian forces to advance, the main army in Galicia down the val- ley of the Oder through Silesia, its flank on the Bohemian mountains, its center facing Posen, its left resting on the Baltic by Danzig, and the whole battle line will be within German terri- tory, except for such troops as are de- tached to protect the passes of the mountains to the west, through which detachments of the defeated Austrians may retreat. But if the Austrians about Przemys]l are able to resist the advance of the vic- torious Ruasians, then the whole of- fensive comes to a standstill, and must wait yntil enough Russian troops can be brought up to carry this line, which is one of very great military strength. A second Austrian defeat may well de- stroy the whole army, but a Russian reverse, or even temporary repulse, would probably mean the delay of the Russian advance until] the first crisis in France had long passed. To follow the Russian operations, it is easiest and simplest to think of a battle front from the Baltic to the Carpathians, moving steadily west to- ward Berlin, the distance between the two extremities shortening steadily. Neither in Hast Prussia nor in Galicia has the front yét come squarely against the first line of defense, but tn Galicia it seems to have soundly beaten an Aus- trian effort to check it in the field east of the Sau and Vistula rivers, and about Lemberg. ; The great problem now must be whether the reverse has shaken the morale of the Aus army. If it has, the next battle may decide the course of the European war in the Fiest. As to a possible diversion toward Vi- enna, this becomes possible now that the fall of Lemberg opens passes in the Carpathians, but it is unlikely—for Vi- enna is off the road, and the success of the allies must be before Berlin. Ag to the possibility of the transport of Russians from Archangel to Ostend, it again is possible—~an unexpected demon- stration of what sea power means—but it remains to be proved, and until then hardly credible. Fal wee ASQUITH OPENS CAMPAIGN FOR ARMY ENLISTMENT Continued From Page One. ties and making a heroic stand against overWhelming forces.” Louvain a Crime Against Civilisation. Continuing, Premier Asquith detailed the heroic efforts of the Belgian forces. He mentioned the siege of Liege and enumerated countless autrages on the part of what he termed ‘‘buccaneering adventurera” He declared that the greatest crime against civilization was the sacking of Louvain. ‘This shameless holocaust,’ the Pre- mier continued, ‘‘was performed by blind barbarian vengeance. Sooner than of ours blotted out from the pages of history.” The British Prime Minister declared that the invasion of Belgium was the first step in a greater.policy to crush the freedom and. autonomy of the free states of Europe. With great emotion, the Premier called attention to the fact that it was just three and one-half years ago that he had spoken in the Guild Hall on the occasion of the decision of the two En- lish speaking nations of the world to settle their differences by arbitration without resorting to armaments. “No one was then sanguine enough to think, or even hope that the era of war was at an end,"’ he continued, “but no one anticipated such a terrible spec- tacle as confronts us today at a time The Premier paid a compliment to the policy of Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary. Reviewing the in- cidents leading up to the war, he de- | clared that one Power and one Power ~~ only was responsible for the war, and jthat Power was Germany. “Not a single colleague in the Cab- inet repented the decision which had passed from one of diplomacy to one of honor,” he declared. “It would be a criminal mistake to under-estimate either the magnitude, the ‘fighting qualities, or the staying power of the forces arrayed against the allies,” the Premier went on. It would be equally foolish and insensible to be- little our own forces, whether in re- sistance or attack. He praised France and Russia as two of the greatest Powers who did not mean to separate themselves from }Great Britian any more than Great Britain meant to separate herself from them. He declared that if Great Britain were to play a werthy part in this war she must enlarge the scale of her forces, increase her number, multiply many times her effective fighting power, The Premier made the declaration that his object was to impress on the people the imperious urgency of this supreme duty.

LONDON, Aug. 27.—Reports reach Lon- den from Liverpool that England has placed more than 98,000 Russian troops in France by means of transports sent north of the Scandinavian Peninsula to Finland, where the Cossacks embarked and were sefely landed at French ports. Because of the mines in the Baltic and North Seas, and the presence of the German fleet, it has been regarded as impossible for Russia to reach France except by marching through Germany. A constant stream of empty ships has been moving south from Liverpool ever since the declaration of war, but there had been no observation of ships north- ward bound and the rumor that England has helped Russians into France has given rise to much speculation as to where the ships sailed from. However, the secrecy which surround ed the movement of the-expeditionary army was so complete that the public is willing to belleve the English Gov: ernment has it within its power to con- ceal any movement. Mauretania Passengers Say Russians Were Sent te Ostend. NEW YORK, Sept. 4-—A Russian army of 72,000 men, transported from Archangel, the most northern part of Kussia, was landed at Aberdeen, on the east coast of Scotland, on the night of Aug. 77, according to officers and pas- sengers of the Cunard liner Mavure- tania, which reached New York yes- terday. From Aberdeen the troops, it is said, were conveyed on special trains tc Harwich, Grimsby and Dover, where transports were waiting to convey them to Ostend, Belgium. Every precaution wags taken by the niilitary authorities to keep the trans- portation of the foreign soldiers through England from becoming known, and the service on the east coast railway lines was suspended during the 17 hours the troup trains were on the journey. German Shells ula Parkes St. Rombold Church at Malines LONDON, Sept. 4—A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Co. from Amsterdam says: “The bombardment of Malines yester- day lasted two hours, nearly 200 shrap- nel exploding in the town. Much dam- age was done. The church (the famous Cathedral of St. Rombold) is ruins and its beautiful stained-glass windows and its famous chimes are destroyed. ‘Fortunately many of the works of art were saved. The historical religious shrine in St. Rombold’s had been taken to Wavre, while Rubens’ paintings, ‘The Adoration of the Kings’ and ‘The Crucl- fixion,’ in the Church of St. Jean, had been removed by motor cars to Ant- werp. “The gateway and the chimes of St Rombold’s were totally ruined.” Of the several ancient and historic re- ligious edifices in Malines, the Cathedral of St. Rombold, begun in the thirteenth century and completed in 1312, was the most famous. Its spire, rising to a height of 318 feet, housed what was con- sidered the finest and most complete set of chimes in Belgium. Among the many paintings decorating the _ trans- cripts was Van Dyck’s famous ‘“Cruci- fixion,” said by experts to be the finest of the master’s works.

Several cases of insubordination, it 1s said, have veen suppressed by the shoot- ing of those suspected of disloyalty, but a mutiny in some of the regiments is feared. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Os- tend says: ‘“‘A tourist who has just ar- rived here from Budapest after nearly a week's trip, said: “There is a feeling of complete de- spair in Budapest. This is caused main- ly by the present abandonedment of the campaign against Servia, which had the whole-souled support of the populace, who believe that only one sharp stroke was needed to demolish Servia. Yet at the end of a month not a single Aus- trian soldier is on Servian soil. Breaking Up of Empire Feared. “*The position of the dual monarchy is very serious if it is compelled to make peace with Servia on account of the chronic difficultibs with the Slav population. The people in Budapest be- lieve the breaking up of the whole Aus- tro-Hungarian structure is impending. “*The failure of the army sent against the Russians is also disheart- ening to the Austro-Hungarians. The newspaper censorship in Budapest is so rigid that the people practically have ceased reading the newspapers.’ ’’ AUSTRIAN ARMY COULDN’T GET AID Russians Nearly Surrounded It and Servians Had Destroyed Big Force. LONDON, Sept. 4.--The Times Petro- grad correspondent, telegraphing con- cerning Russian military operations. says the Russian forces drew around the Austrian army like an iron semi- circle. The Austrians then were oblige4 to fight with extreme obstinacy owing to the fact that they could not hope for any considerable reinforcements. The Southern army under Gen. Frank had been almost destroyed by the Servians and the transfer of the remnant of three corpse would alter nothing save that per- haps in this manner the road to Buda- pest would be left open to the Serbs. The Germans had apparently retired from Polish territory west of the Vis- tula and were unable to send the Aus- trians as much as a single battalion, so that the army under Archduke Frederick was left to ite own resources. During the first weeks of the war the principal strength of the Austrian army advanced on the left bank of the Vis- tula with the paipable object of reach- ing Warsaw from the south, while the German army from Eastern Prussia proposed a simultaneous advance int» Poland from the north. When the Rus- sian victories at Gumbinnen scattered the illusion of possibility of advance on Warsaw the Austrians employed their tremendous forces scattered on the left bank of the Vistula to outflank the right wing of the Russian army encir- cling Lemberg. To this enormous superiority and strength on the Austrian side must be assigned the fact that during the first few days of the general engagement of Tomesszow, the Russian attack was con- verted into a defense tn which the here- ism of the Russian army surmounted al! vbstacies and the Austrians’ numerica, superiority. .

Which Had Been Aban- doned in Face of Enemy. From «a Correspemdent of the Post- Dispateh and the London Morning Post. Copyright. 1914, by Press Pub. Ce. LONDON, Sept. 4—A graphic descrip- tion of last week's naval engagement off Heligoland, in which British vessels sank five German ships and killed 900 men, has reached here in a letter to rel- atives, from a young lieutenant who was on one of the British torpedo boat destroyers. It reads, in part: “When we had partly formed, and were very much bunched together, mak- ing @ fine target, suddenly out of the mist arrived five or six shells from a point not 1500 yards eway. We gazed at whence they came, and again five or six stabs of fire pierced the fog, and we made out a four-funnelled Ger- man cruiser of the Breslau class. Those stabs were her guns going off. We waited 15 seconds, and the shots and noise of her gung arrived from 6 yards away. The next salvo of shots went above us, and I ducked, as they whirred over- head like a covey of fast partridges. “You would suppose our captain had been doing this sort of thing all his life. He went full speed ahead at once, upon the first salvo, to string the bunch out, and thue offer less target. The Commodore from the Arethusa made a signal to us to attack with torpedoes, So we swung round at right angles and charged full speed at the enemy like a} Hussar attack. Our boat was away at the start magnificently, and led the field, so all the enemy’s aimed at us for the next 10 minutes, when we got so close that debris from their shelis fell on board.

Next, our fol- lower arrived just where we had been and fired his torpedo, and, of course, “After the destroyers came the Fear- Soon three- funneler, the Maing, so off we started again, now for the Mainz, the situation being that the crippled Arethusia was too tubby to do anything but be defent- ed by us, her children. “Searcely, however, had we started, when, from out of the mist and acros§ our front, In furious pursuit, came the first cruiser squadron of the town class, the Birmingham, etc., each unit a match for three like the Mainz. As we looked and reduced speed, they opened fire, and the clear bang, bang of their guns was just iike a cooling drink. : Fate of the Nainzs. : “To see a real big four-funneler spout- ing flame, which denoted shells start- ing, and these shells not at us but fer us, was the most cheerful thing possi- We had just been having our own imag inations stimulated on the subjects of shells striking. Now, a few minutes later, it was our turn to see another ship not three miles away reduced to a piteous mass of unrecognizability. We saw black fumes from which sprang out angry gouts of fire like Vesuvius ia eruption, as an endless stream of 100- pound shells burst on board it, just pointed the moral, and showed us what might have been. “The Mainz was immensely gallant. The last I saw of her she waa absolute- ly wrecked alow and aloft. Her whole miéships was a fuming inferno. But she had one gun forward and one sft, still spitting forth fury and deflence like a wildcat. “Then we went west, while they went east.

Here’s a Thriller. ‘The most romantic, dramatic and piq@ant episode modern war can ever shew came next. The defenders hav- ing sunk an enemy, lowered a whaler to pick up her swimming survivors.

But the Oberbaumeister and Frau Hauptmann got into a condition of fear- ful excitement, and with perfectly good reason. From having been an import- ant escort and an imposing guard they had suddenly diminished into fellow prisoners. The collapse of the Oberbau- meister was especially tragic; he had been the big frog in the little puddle, and now the poor man had become a tadpole in @ lake. He had to catch the last train back to Backnang to be there on important business, and the last train left at 10. And the last train meant thé last train, for after that all train service for the public was to be discontinued be cause of mobilization requirement. Frau Hauptmann’s case>was even worse. She was to meet her husband, the Captain, who Was on his way from Italy, at the station at 8:2. If he got in and she was not there, he and she would have no other meeting place and might search for each other for 4 hours or more. Her pleas to the officials and the manner in which they were denied, settled pretty effectively our suspicions that she was a secret service agent. “Out of the kindness of my heart I stepped in to help this lady and gen- tleman,"”’ she wailed, “and now througa no fault of the'>s look at the situation I am in.” However, finally at about 9:15 she Was sent off to the station under guard, with irjunctions to return later to complete her examination. The Oberbaumeister of Backnang aiso was finally released suet in time to make an apoplectic run for his train without the lavish dinne- te which we had invited him and with nothing but an evil-looking cigar to still ithe pangs of hunger till the poor man got home at 12-something that night. And now, finally, we were releaged. A relice officer. sent for a taxicab for us, helped us pile our baggage on it, and at 10 o'clock, in a pouring rain, we relied away from the police station to the Hotel Marquardt, an admirable ho- ‘The British forces fell back, fighting all the time. The line of the allies now was in the shape of a ‘V,’ the Germans thrusting their main attack deep into the angle. Gen. Damade, the most pop- ular of French Generals, owing to his exploits in Morocco, was on the left of the allies’ armies. This position remained until Monday, or, rather, had completed itself by that date, the retirement of the troops being maintained with mas- teriy skill and without any undue haste. ‘Meanwhile Gen.

Even if I was not a Russian I was a journalist and must on no account be permitted to leave Ger- many with my breast full of important military secrets for publication in my paper. In fact this suspicion now turned on Frau Hauptmann herself and he asked her whether she knew anyone in Backnang who could identify her. Yes, indeed, she knew the Oberbau- meister very well. So he was sent for while she was in- formed that if she Wanted to reach Stuttgart to meet her husband that night she had best leave us and catch EUROPE’S GREAT CONFLICT .

Five men in citizens’ clothes, wearing cartridge belts and carrying bayonetted rifles yelled “Halt” at us and ordered us out of the car. In this place the crowd was in a very ugly temper, some of them holding re- volvers in their hands, which they kept or surreptitiously pointing at us. The five men with rifles and three or four officials surrounded us as best they could, left two more soldiers to guard the car and forced their way with us through quite a thousand people who were yelling, ‘‘Russen, Russen, hold them here; don’t let them go any fur- ther,”” and brandishing clubs, pitch- forks and revolvers. Afte. quite a walk we were led into the town hall and there a polite but very stern young man faced us. We re- reated to him our story and suggested his ringing up the Regierungerath back at Crailsheim, and he did this. Then, hewever, he had a young woman brought in who had been to America and spoke English. She appeared very sympathetic, but went through - every one of our papers with great care. translating much of the contents into German.

New York today on her way to Cadiz, Spain, from Havana and Vera Cruz. The Montser- rat will sail for Cadiz tomorrow. Mean- time, all the reservists are being kept aboard to avoid the possibility of com- plications over enforcing the neutrality laws. ; Of the reservists, 150 are French and 50 are Germans. They were all taken aboard at Vera Cruz and in nearly every case the fare from Vera Cruz to Cadiz was paid by the French and German Consuls’ at Vera Cruz. “We are gotng home to fight,” said one of the French reservists. ‘‘but we will save our fighting till we get home.” “Why should we pick ‘quarrels with our French friends aboard the ship?’ asked a German. ‘Wait till we get home: then will come the fighting.’’ Anglo-French Fleet Hasn’t Dared to Attack, Says Vienna ROME, via Paris, Sept. 4.—Dispatches rezeived here from Vienna describe the ridicule with which Austrian naval cir- cles are commenting on the Anglo- French fleet In the Adriatic. ; They declare that, although this fleet is more than three times as powerful as that of Austria, is never yet has dared to attack. or even invite the Aus- trian fleet to battle.

Just then the Berzirks Magistrat was called out of the room and when he returned he told us the news had just been telephoned to him. People had connected our motor with its letter R with this attempt, and had telephoned ahead to him to stop us ana see whether we had any bombs with us. We were certainly startled to hear that the German article of war had sudden- ly come into such exceedingly ‘close Proximity, and we began to question whether it would be wise to go on if bomb-dropping along our route was to be the order of the day.

His coronation will take place Sunday. ' The Pope's first consistory also will be held Tuesday, at which time he will con- ~#er the red hat on Cardinal Anthonv des Bello, patriarch of Lisbon, and ardinal Guisasola y Menendez, Arch- op at Toledo, Spain. Both were ted Cardinals by Pope Pius X at consistory last May. The new Pope made his first appoint- t by naming Mer. Parolin, nephew the late Pope Pius X, to be canon St. Peters. Cardinals Gibbons and O’Connell, who ly reached Rome shortly before noon westerday, expressed their gratification at being the first Cardinals not partici- pating in the conclave to render hom- age. The Pontiff embraced them ten- erly and said he appreciated the ef- orts they had made to come to Rome or the conclave, at much ‘personal dis- mfort. Immediately after his election, the ntiff said he could not imagine how is frail being was capable of enduring e enormous weight of responsibility rown upon his shoulders, especially at moment when almost all the countries of Europe were stained with blood, when athe wounds inflicted upon humanity also ere inflicted on the church, and when untiess victims of the war were be- g cut down.

' The war, he said, had armed faith- ful against faithful. priest against priest, while the Bishows of each coun- be offered prayers for the success of the army of his own nation. But vic- tory for one side meant slaughter to the other, the destruction of children @qually dear to the heart of the pantiff. ' In the course of a reception of Jay- men the Pope spoke of America, which he said was especially dear to tm. He expressed great admiration or the genius of its people, which comparable only to their re- zeal; and he added: “I am wlaé thet my first apostolic bene- on abroad will be forwarded to ca, where the American Cardi- will at a later date impart it © the people directly.” The pontiff also expressed the hope American prayers in favor of together with the prayers to the Almighty throughout world, would mean that peace will come. ' On the election of Cardinal Della Uhi- Monsignor Poggiani, secretary of conclave, with the master of cere. : the dean of the Cardinals and high church dignitaries, bowed be- the chair where Cardinal Della ‘ was seated. | He asked if the Cardinal would accept © pontificate, and upon an affirmative all the canopies above the Car- thrones were lowered excepting of Cardinal Della Chiesa. of the Cardinals, the new Pope said he — to take the name of Benedict Crowds Sce New Pope.

Other methods of raising money are be- ing used by the children with a zeal and earnestness in keeping with the worthiness of the cause for which they labor. It is very necessary that these efforts be continued. The battle against the babies’ enemies is not yet won. The forces of disease and death have been held back, but they have not been rout- ed. They are still pressing strongly against the defenses that have been erected by the Post-Dispatch Free Ice and Pure Milk Fund and its allies, the children of St. Louis. These forces, balked through the summer months, will press even harder during the early autumn, seeking to snatch away the lit- tle lives that have been preserved thus far. But if the children are steadfast and, instead of relaxing their efforts, increase them, the battle will be won and the babies will be saved. Tonight’s Entertainment.

Hirsch, 6047 Waterman avenue, by a company of dear little girls who had bcen trained by Lucille Hirsch, 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch. The program consisted of fancy dances and songs and was given under the direction of little Miss Hirsch, with- out the assistance of any grown-ups. All who took part were under 10 years of age. An Interesting Program. The lawn was brightly flluminated and decorated. A stage had been erected. The children performed their parts with the confidence and excellence of professionals.

Other methods of raising money are be- ing used by the children with a zeal and earnestness in keeping with the worthiness of the cause for which they labor. It is very necessary that these efforts be continued. The battle against the babies’ enemies is not yet won. The forces of disease and death have been held back, but they have not been rout- ed. They are still pressing strongly against the defenses that have been erected by the Post-Dispatch Free Ice and Pure Milk Fund and its allies, the children of St. Louis. These forces, balked through the summer months, will press even harder during the early autumn, seeking to snatch away the lit- tle lives that have been preserved thus far. But if the children are steadfast and, instead of relaxing their efforts, increase them, the battle will be won and the babies will be saved. Tonight’s Entertainment.

~ BECAUSE OF WAR Headquarters in Several States Turned Into Sewing Rooms for Red Cross Work. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Sewing ma- chines have replaced typewriters in anti-suffrage headquarters in several States, headquarters of the national as- sociation, opposed to woman suffrage announced last night.’ Volunteers are turning out bandages and ee ak terials for use on the battlefields of Europe. This action has been taken by the State organizations of New York and Massachusetts in response co the appeal recently issued by Mrs. Arthur Dodge, national president, and others are expected to follow. this action. The proposal has been made that a truce with the suffrage supporters be sought during the European struggle. Mrs. Dodge announced she would call for only $5000, instead of $15,000, to fight suffrage in seven States this fall, as had been planned. The statement adds that even the smaller sum will net be sought if the suffragists do not force the fighting in contested terri- tory. —— Two Negro Robbers Get $12.57. Harry Sockel of 2118 Biddle street was robbed of $12.57 by two negroes who ac- costed him last night at the alley on Twenty-first street, between Carr and the display advertisement the corpora~ tion had inserted in the Post-Dispatch. The officials of the Hook store have decided to open another store &t 07% North ‘Broadway within the next 9% days. The new St. Louis drug store is an offshoot from a $2,000,000 corporation of Indianapolis, where the company OP- erates nine drug stores. The corpora- tion was formed in April to spread @ chain throughout the Southwest. All of these stores will be patterned after the one on Washington avenue, which has the most up-to-date modern filing cabinets to keep all drugs dustproof. in the new store may be found almost anything in the way of drugs, patent medicines and merchandise that of- ficials of the company say are listed at the very lowest possible prices. .

Members of the embassy staff, how- ever, willingly produced copies of all of the dispatches which the embassy has given out as coming from the Berlin Government. In each instance, the dis- patch was on the Postal Telegraph & Cable Co.’s forms, dated from Sayville, L I., and marked “cable count,’’ show- ing that the charge had been computed on a cable basis. Signed by German Official. Each of the messages was signed by Hammann, the official assigned by the German Foreign Office to send bulletins to the German embassies wherever they can be reached. A comparison of the messages on the telegraph blanks with the bulletins is sued by the German embassy shows that the two correspond, except in so far as the cable abbreviation is occasionally filled in so as to make the meaning more apparent. Chancellor Sachse of the embassy cited Tuesday’s dispatch as an example Fie showed that the message was Sent from Sayville to Washington at 1:21 p m., over the Postal Telegraph wires and contained 207 words. The statement later issued by the embassy consisted of 209 words, the two words added being Gen eral before Von Kluk and River before Meuse. Dispatches Official Documents, “These are official documents of the German Embassy received direct from the Bertin Foreign Office,” said Chancellor Sachse. “Why do they distrust Germany? Why didn't these accusers question the news which came at the beginning of the war telling of the successes of the allies? They see now that lies have no life, The German Government wouldn't manufacture such lies. I declare these telegrams tell the truth.’ The embassy said that all the dis- patches from Berlin are being sent direct from Sayville to Washingt»n, but that they were relayed from Washington to New York while the German Ambassador was in the latter city.

Some wireless experts have been skeptical about the ability of the Sayville. station to receive messages regularly from Germany and it ap- parently is on this ground that the charges have been made. It is pointed out here that the offi- cial statements from St. Petersburg are now confirming in part the state- ments contained in the German wire- less dispatches a day or two ago. It was first announced in the dis- patches given out from the embassy that two or three Russian army corps had been annihilated and three Gen- erals captured in East Prussia, The German message Tuesday said 70,000 Russians had been taken pris- oners.

To further his inter ests along this line Pate became activ: in politics and became so influential that it was common gossip that he con. trolléd many public officials.

At one time Pate was reputed to have several hundred thousand dol- lars, but he lost most of the money in race track ventures in St. Louis and Mexico after gambling houses, which he controlled, were closed oy the Johnson anti-gambling law in 1882.

This has been a peculiar year in the National League. “Class” has been sadly lacking, but the League is 80 evenly balanced that there is little to choose between the top and the bottom club. Indeed, Cincinnati, /now a:tail-ender, has found it anything but difficult to hoodwink the pace- making Giants, while Brooklyn, who shares with Cincinnati the lowest berth, has made it a habit to trounce the Braves. It is the sort of a race that makes money for the magnates. The keen- ness of it appeals to the fan who deesn’t care to analyze the strength of the gry boas which after all doesn’t matter so long as the competition is sharp. Only Two Clubs Left.

Some fans who have been disappointed in the Cards’ showing of late are in- clined to believe that there is dissen- sion in the ranks. That’s all tommy rot. The players are as eager to win as anybody in St. Louis. They want to win for selfish reasons if none other. Their contracts contain a bonus clause, giving therm a percentage if they finish in first division. And this same bonus clause may cause Manager Huggins considerable worry be- fore the curtain is ‘called down. It may prevent Hug from experimenting with young players as the ‘‘old heads” wil! resent such a move on the grounds that it may impair their chances of cal- lecting a bonus. All of which makes a manager's life a gay but brief one. ust a word about the Pirates!

Kiel Orders -Beer- at - Priester's Park on Sunday, eee Calls Police. “OH,” Patrolman Samples Liquid, Ex-| ' presses Disgust and Manager. _ Explains It’s ‘“‘Near Beer.” An amusing comedy in which Mayor): Kiel’s W-year-old son, Clarence, had @ leading part, Sunday night, at Priester’s Seonlt wee avenue and Meramec street, generally known today at the city hall, although no police report was made. The story, as obtained from F. M. Priester, Harry Koeln, a brother of Collector Ed Koeln, and Policemen Krueger and Bradshaw is this: “Young Kiel, accompanied by a man named Burton and two young women, entered Priester’s Park shortly before midnight. The young men asked to be served with beer. The waiter informed them that no beer could be served on Sunday. ‘After they had insisted the waiter went away. He soon returned with bot- tles cuntaining a dark colored liquid. ; Calla Police to Park. Young Kiel left the table and went to @ telephone. The police at the other end of the line talked to a man who said he was Henry Kiel, which is the Mayor's name. Kiel said he wanted policemen sent immediately to Priester’s Park. Po- licemen Krueger and Bradshaw. were given the assignment. Young Kiel met them at a corner near the park and, ac- cording to the policémen, told them that if they did not arrest Priester he iel) “would get their jobs.”’ When they entered Priester’s young Kiel hurried to the table and took three bottles, which had not been opened. He handed them to the policeman as ‘‘the evidence’ and demanded the arrest of Priester. Priester, Koeln, who was preserit, and young Kiel’s party accom- panied the policemen to a nearby sub-. station. One of the policemen opened one of the bottles and tasted it. He hurriedly put {t'down with an exclamation: ‘‘No more for me. That’s not beer.” It had proven to be a near-beer, con- taining no alcohol. The police refused to arrest Priester, and young Kiel apol- ogized, and all immediately began re- ‘questing that no publicity should be ‘given the incident. Priester was at first inclined to tele- ‘phone the Mayor of his son’s escapade, but Koeln persuaded him otherwise. — + Koeln, Priester and the policemen were teticent when asked about the matter , though they admitted the prin- ciple details. x ie bie een gpg Be thet the liquid served “looks like beer, foams like beer, and, when very cold, tastes almost like beer.” » Koeln, who manages the motordrome “at Priester’s, said that young Kiel had been “ejected from Priester’s several times during the summer for boisterous conduct. Koeln said: “I guess he though he would get even.” * Bfforts to reach young Kiel were un- successful. He has’a job as inspector in the Sewer Department, and was said to be out at work. “Mayor Kiel said he had not seen his - gon since Sunday, and that he had heard nothing of the affair, ‘™manner indicated he was not surprised at the affair. _ JEWELERS POST REWARD FOR ARREST OF AGENT _ Wife of Missing Man Admits She Pawned Diamond, Part of $5000 Stolen Gems. _ band and which has been tdentified __ by the jewelry company as part of s stolen jewels.

Kreismann of 4362 McPherson avenue, who was in Munich, Germany, when the war began, reached home last night, accompanied by her sons, Colden and Paul Whitman. They had been abroad since June. Mrs. Kreismann said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter today that she was so overwhelmed by the sorrow and dis- tress and loss of lifein Europe that the slight hardships to which she was sub- jected were not worth mentioning. She was visiting relatives and was supplied with money and shelter and was in no danger. She and her sons took their own time in getting out. They. made their way to Rotterdam and sailed from there on the Ryndam. The only annoyance they suffered was the poor transportation facilities through to the seaport and the inspec- tion of ‘officials to which they had to submit. The German peasants, Mrs. Kreismann said, are the least affected by the war. Their farms have not been disturbed and they are going ahead with the harvesting of their crops. D. R.

French soldiers in battle will wear St. Louis-made shoes, if a deal pending between the French Government and the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., is clinched within the next two weeks. The French Government has placed an order for a large shipment of shoes, said to be a million pairs, but the shoe manufacturers refuse to risk the mora- torium. They insist the French Gov- ernment must deposit in a bank money which the company can obtain when delivery is made, and negotiations to- ward this end are said to have been virtually completed. Although Thomas F.. Roach, in charge of the foreign department of the shoe company, refused to discuss the deal, the shoe trade learned a Hamilton- Brown official was in Paris when war was declared. His presence became known to Freneh officials, who opened negotiations with him to supply 1,000,000 pairs of shoes to the army. The deal was taken up by cable with the house in St. Louts, and it is reported, was closed, with the pro- vision. that cash for payment must be put in bank. American manufacturers refuse to ship goods abroad unless immediate payment in cash is guaranteed, as countries at war have declared a moratorium, post- poning the payment of debts.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. 4 am a frequent visitor in the maternity ward of our city hospital, and am impressed by the great number of women who are there who have meither clothes for their babies nor money to get them. While the hospital does furnish some cloth- ing, {t can in no way supply the demand. So I appeal to you mothers who have anything in the way. of clothing for very young babies to send it to the city hospital. There is a dear little social worker who gives all her time to these mothers, many of them unmarried, who sadly need @ friendly adviser and someone to give them courage and strength to face the world after they leave to make their hard way. Mother love lies in every woman's heart, yet often..these poor unfortunates crush this very 1 because of the disgrace and burden they feel coming of the child will bring them. The lit- | social worker strives, and usually with suc- to create an interest in the child sufficient to make the mother feel that she must work for it. She is given its little dregggs to make, and ere long her heart is softened, and I know that material for such would be a welcome and wise gift. When mothers go out, the social service de- partment has made the way easy by placing the es where they will be cared for while the mé6ther works for its keep; find homes for mother and child and employment; look after the interests of the deserted wife and follow all the babies, seeing that they have the proper care and food. I hope that thé kind, charitable people of this city, who have done so much for those in need will again respond most generously to this re- quest for help for the babies. A SOCIAL WORKER. | Reclaim the Des Peres. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Could you not enlist the support of Park Com- missioner Davis and advocate the damming of the River des Peres and using it as an adjunct to the fish hatcheries? It could be dammed up and a sufficient supply of water furnished by the city in periods of drouth to keep it in a sanitary con- dition and in severe storms, should the hatcher- fes overflow, it would be well stocked with fish ~ and certain days could be made fishing days for the benefit of the people. In addition it could be furnished with artificial cascades, bathing pools and “ole swimmin’ holes.” Bronx Park has a Small stream flowing through it which enhances the beauty of the surroundings. : This plan would be feasible and the cost would be small in proportion td the pleasure and at- tractions it would add to the surroundings and eur,’ poets of the future would sing of the River Ge as “a thing of beauty and a joy for- ever.” THOMAS J. CURRAN. ‘*‘War’s Melting Pot.’’ Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have just read your interesting editorial in teday’s Post-Dispatch ufider the head, “War's Pot.” You point out that Germany is a country fighting with Austria, a Gatholic country, and show that Protestant En- ad is with Catholic Belgium, and with Ortho- aeox and Greek Catholic Servia and Cath- @lie and agnostic France, Catholic Portugal and @hintoistic Japan. You then say: “That on both ; men of widely divergent religious views - g@Pe experiencing great vicissitudes and incurring @reat sacrifices in behalf of the same ends must ‘Bring them in closer touch with ene another, mrust result in better understandings, must con- ‘tribute to greater breadth of religious concep- _ tlons and human sympathies.” Continuing you gay: “Progress in this direction once gained by the! Works | will not be lost.” The Catholic fights country. This is now patent te the be- world. The war proves Catholic soldiers bravely for Protestant Germany, or England, as for Catholic Austria. that designing and secret enmity, said non-Catholic countries, this ts mention, not because it is news to any- is of average intelligence, but for the through our United States postal serv- country has been for the past two years by infamous literature and filled with nt lies against the loyalty of Catholics te ountry, That is why I mention this. much Of the good that you speak of may be oy | gay it will, by the comming- . but permit’ me to add that ot a wer \ a P. hase specie, there is not within all the United States, one-half of the proposed amount of the taxes. * °*' * Our position, with re- spect te our enemy, and our markets, distin- guish us from all other nations; inasmuch, as a state of war, with us annihilates in an instant all eur surplus produce, that on which we depend for many comforts of life. Today a hundred millions is relatively a baga- telle, im a mation at peace and unblockaded, whose internal wealth and resources have de- veloped a thousandfold. Experience as late as the Spanish War, when a double tax on beer produced virtually double the revenue, showed how lightly the burden rest- ed upon the people at large. To raise a hundred millions a year from added taxes on beer, spirits and tobacco, will not add appreciably to Ameri- can cost of living. And, as a Philadelphia con- temporary observes, if there are any sources under the sun from which taxes may be invited in perfectly good conscience, those sources are liquor and the weed. The smoker and the drink- er and the industries which supply their luxuries are able to support many of the trials of govern- ment in peace as well as war. - = = * A COONTRAST. While European nations were betting millions of human lives on the chance of gaining new ter- ritory, new trade, new authority for their ruling classes, the United States Senate, on Wednesday, Sept. 2, completed the trust legislative program for this session of Congress by adopting Culber- son’s amendment to the Clayton bill, in that amendment declaring, for the first time in any na- tional parliament, that “the labor of a human be- ing is not a commodity or an article of commerce.” In the Old World, humble millions, sent to slaughter like dumb beasts; in the New World, the dignity of human labor, and its right to legal ex- emption from the ancient, cruel “law of supply | and demand,” asserted unequivocally in the con-| trolling statute of the most powerful nation on The contrast between autocracy and democracy could hardly be made sharper of completer. = = * ae ae A SUPEEWOMAN. A woman wrote the following remarkable let- ter to the Philadelphia Public Ledger: Sir—Though a woman, I would net march in the “peace” parade. | There are two qualities which will be grafted anew and quickly on to the world. I seem to see the possibility of the war bring- ing this about. It is possible to conceive the alternative. Shall evérybody for all time be slowly tor- tured to death forever, or shall a few hun- dred thousand be kille@ at once. Rather the latter, surely. I¢ the German idea stands for anything, it {is discipline and thoroughness. Thou shalt, wilt thou or wtit thou not! The organized servant girl who clips the lace curtains of her mistress, the plumber who cuts the thread in your spigots, organised incompetence riding on the neck of genius to the latter’s undoing. Is it better to stand all this with an idiotic patience or kill outright, that discipline and duty shall be paramount? Let us hope the German will win, yea, though he comes riding over bodies piled high, if he comes with a fresh and masterful Thou shalt, wilt thou or wilt thou not. Here is, indeed, a Superwoman, on the true Nietzsche pattern. The trouble is, Nietzsche, if living, would probably disavow her as a mon- strosity among women; for he allowed of no Superwoman in his scheme. Gupermen; yes. But one of his much quoted sayings was: “When thou goest to a woman, take a whip with these.” Is it not probable that the hero pictured by the writer of the above letter as coming “riding over bodies piled high,” will keep a whip for his womenfolk? ~- = = ya S| —— en _— CONCERNING SPECTAOCLED DUOKS. Alaskan advices report Lord William Percy has shot a “speotacled” elder duck after crawling on his belly half a mile to get within gun range of it. This species of duck, we are told, “has been supposed to be extinct.” That supposition has not been shared by any- body resident in the big towns. Thanks to bad lighting, bad ventilation, gas and dust-laden air, and the banishment of sound, healthful sleep by hideous, unnecessary noises, a majority of the dwellers in modern American cities are apparently undergoing a transmutation into spectacled ducks. The real news interest in the Alaskan story is not the killing of the duck, but the fact that a Lord named Percy crawled half a mile on his belly to get within gun range of it. Still, perhaps he is not a real hunter, but only e faunal naturalist. = = 9 es A RECLAIMED DES PERES RIVER. When the storm sewer which is intended to re- lieve the Des Peres in times of flood is completed, that historic little stream can be either filled and forgotten or reclaimed and made a thing of beauty to the city. The great storm sewer will make the Des Peres unnecessary as a water chan- nel, A reader suggests that'it be reclaimed, sup- years later we find him filling minor offices in the great bureaus and departments of the Vatican at Rome. His abilities impressed themselves on the late Cardinal ‘Rampolla when Secretary of State, who made him assistant secretary. Many will see in the election of the favorite a triumph of those who desired Rampolla as head of the church, a desire which survived defeat in 1903 untfi the great Cardinal’s death last winter. The circumstances under which the choice has fallen on Chiesa will assuredly become memorable in church history—almost all Europe embroiled and Italy itself wavering between war and peace. Even the mediéval war storms that increased so greatly the burden of the papacy were not as ter- rific and widespread. As he was Archbishop of Bologna, it is easy to see why the new pontiff takes the title of Benedict XV. The last Pope of that name, who died in 1758, was also Archbishop of Bologna. But the world will see an appropriateness in the selection in view of the conditions surrounding the begin- ning of his service in the Vatican chair. The pontificates of nearly all the Benedicts have been tempestuous. The very first one was troubled by plagues and famines and Lombard attacks. Some of them were great reformers, but were resisted in the exercise of their authority.. Some were as- sailed by rivals, some were exiled, some were mur- dered. War’s horrors were familiar to very many of them. Even Benedict XIV, the scholar, the defender of the Indians of Brazil and Paraguay against cruel- ties, the author, whose works fill 12 quarto vol- umes, was not elected until after a struggle in the conclave that continued for months. SOUND MONEY WAREHOUSES. If warehouse certificates for some perishable farm products are as good as Government bonds for securing bank note issues, why are not ware- house certificates for products of all sorts and conditions as good? If grain certificates are rec- ognized, why not recognize certificates for grain- consuming livestock? As the home of the peer- less Missouri hen, this State is interested in havy- ing poultry products recognized, {f ham and bacon are to be recognized. And if sound money ware- houses for poultry products do no violence to cur- rency theories, surely sound-money warehouses for dairy products will do none. Why show any discrimination? Why not recog- nize sound money certificates for cordwood and railroad ties and hooppoles? = = * _— A LONG WAR—OUR CHANCE. Nothing could be more damaging to American interests than the prevalence of a notjern that the European war will be ended in a ‘few weeks. Lloyds is said to be offering even money that the war will be over by December 1 and odds on longer periods; but gamblers are in possession of no more facts than the statesmen of the contending Pow- ers who are making their preparations for a long conflict. All the factors in the problem point to the continuance of hostilities for a year or more. Great Britain has only fairly begun the mobiliza- tion of her Colonial armies; France will need a longer period than the Sea King to assemble her armies from over sea. The final alignment of na- tions friendly to the Triple Alliance or to the Triple Entente has yet to be determined, and, when determined, their forces must be gathered for action. - Neither France, Germany nor Russia should be expected to sue for peace until their resources are utterly exhausted and their dominions laid waste. Such events cannot occur in a few weeks of the most strenuous war. With the entrance of Turkey, Greece and Italy into the conflict, and the pos- sible entrance of Spain, the field of operations will be so extended that decisive results will be delayed for months and—maybe—for years. It behooves American manufacturers to prepare for a continuance of the struggle far beyond the limit set by gamblers and oversanguine partisans. Stuffs that we have imported may be made at home if we take the proper view of the situation and begin now the development of the means for their manufacture. Markets which we have al- lowed Europe to monopolize may be entered with profit if we begin and prosecute our endeavor to sell goods there. Even should the war conclude at or near the time the gamblers set, the disorganization of war will so militate against European manufacturers that months must elapse before they will have the men, the money, the organization to re-enter the ‘markets of the world, or supply the needs of their own people. A sane and safe view of the situation, from a trade standpoint, is that the United States has from one to three years in which to build up effective factories of goods formerly imported and gain the trade in markets war has compelled Eu- rope to abandon.

About the time of the Franco-Germaa War, Matthew Arnold published a book. “Friendship’s Garland,” in which he pointed out weaknesses in British insti- tutions by comparing them with Prus- sian institutions, He did this in the shape of a correspondence that was sup- posed to be carried on between a young Prussian, Arminius, and Arnold himself.

The prosecuting authorities of Granite City and the State Labor Commissioner of Illinois are investigating complaints that certain foremen of the American Steel Foundry Co. have extorted sums of money from laborers and mill work- ers for giving them or permitting them to hold jobs in the plant. City Attorney Steel of Granite City told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that his investigation showed that during the last five weeks several thousand dollars had been paid to the foremen by the laborers. Stee] laid the results of his investigations before the Attorney- General of Illinois and was advised by him to take up the matter with the State Labor Commissioner, which he has done. An Illinois statute makes it unlawful for the foreman or superintendent of any factory to exact money from em- ployes for giving them positions or per- mitting them to hold them. The system of extorting money from laborers in the foundry was exposed, ac-~- cording to Steel, when an Armenian named Arweggian was arrested on @ charge of forging the name of another laborer to a pay check. Arweggian was prosecuted fer forgery. He explained that he forged the name of his fellow employe to a check to get even, as he had been compelled to pay a foreman for his job. Investigation Begun. Policeman Peter Sehoyan, an Armeni- an, was instructed by the Granite City officials to investigate Arweggian’s com- plaint. Sehoyan went into the foundry and talked with many of his country- men. He took 20 of them before City At- torney Steel and they made affidavits that they had paid their foremen of the departments in which they were em- ployed for giving them jobs. Steel said that the facts had been laid before the Deputy Labor Com- missioner in East St. Louis, and that he expected warrants would be issued against several foremen within the next few days. The superintendent of the factory, Andrew Walcher, said he had no knowledge that the foremen had ex- torted money from the laborers, but if the complaints could be verified, he would immediately discharge all the foremen implicated. The American Steel Foundry Co. 1s one of the branches of the Steel Trust, and employs thousands of men, when operating at its maximum ca- pacity. Most of the men are Armen- ians, Rumanians and other Southern European nationalities. Four Affidavits. William Roach of the Labor Commis- sioner’s office in East St. Louis, having charge. of the Free Employment Bu- reau,.said that Sehoyarn had submitted four affidavits to him, which purported to show that the men who made them had paid an aggregate of $100 to certain persons in the foundry. Roach, said he transmitted the affi- davits to R. J. Knight in Chicago, chief inspector of private employment agen cles, and expected to receive instruc- tion from him in a few days as to how to proceed. The offense complained of against the foundry foremen, Roach prohibiting the operation of a private employment agency without a license. The law fixes the fine at $0 to $209, Roach said. Roach declared that it was a common matter for a laborer or mill worker to* pay for the privilege of getting a steadv job. He said that a thorough investi- gation ought to be made of the system in vogue there, and that if Knight gave him instructions to proceed he would ask for warrants against the foremen who are alleged to have extorted money from the employes.

All our advices indicate yor farmers are busy plowing and will in @ larger acreage this year. In on spring wheat states improved weather aided the threshing of wheat. geod sections report Hgh® yields and a dency arnong farmers to hold their wheat.”’ Wheat futures mounted into new high territory in the local market Friday, under a rush of buying orders that swept the bears off their feet. Early quota- tions were over 4 cents higher on the active options, and sales at times #- eraged %c to lic apart. Chicago was the center of a violent west and it was current gossi ll street was heavily interest on the bull side. There was nothing to the market but war news. The continued advance of the German troo ae lihood of the uation being further complicated by the entrance of Turkey and Italy into the strife, convinced tra- ders that an early settlement of hos- tilities is impossible. Predictions of £0 and $2 wheat were made by many well-informed ers. Corn futures rose sharply in sympathy with wheat, although country offers are freer, and the weather map was fa- vorable. Oats were strong in sympathy with other grains. Dec. $1.17%, Ic on the initial imine t $1. mounted to $1.26% bid. Be) t. was quoted fe on unchanged, mo 3 Fi offered 3c higher, at $1.

Broomhall cabled: ‘“‘Weather in France is fine, and new wheat is moving. Millers are grinding freely. Arrivals continue liberal, but the Government is still buying on a liberal scale, and prices in Paris are again hardening.” Crop expert Le Count’s estimate of the corn crop is 2,640,000,000 bu, or 193,318,000 bu more than harvested last year. Drouth and chinch bugs damaged the crop in many parts of the belt. The crop is es- at c on the first trade, May was qa pecially spotted and uneven in Kan- sas and Missouri. In South Dakota and the greater ay of Iowa and Nebraska the crop is Tilinois is later than any of the above states. Most of the fields are yet green, and the late rains will be of considerable benefit. The worst condition in Ili- nois is so many of the stalks are bar- ren. Minneapolis wheat cars totaled 4380, against 274 last week and 289 last year. Duluth 271, pet 112 and 887. Winnipeg $26, against 200 147. Minneapolis wheat stocks qonamed 100,000 bu on the week.

The interruption was the entrance of a noisy party of men and women, led by a handsome, pink-faced man who sore large diamond buttons in his costly light blue silk outing shirt. Immediately the waiters divided their allegiance and half of them swarmed around the newcomers. The captain of the waiters had them seated near the Jarr-Smith party and the pink-faced man began to bellow for “a couple of quarts of REAL wine!” At this point one of the waiters passed with a wine cooler containing a bottle of champagne for Mr. Jarr and his friends. The pink-faced man halted tha walter, and with a fat, white hand lifted cut the bottle of champagne ftom the ice. “Take that stuff away!’ he roared. “Bring these people a quart of Perfect Brut! They look like ladies and gentle- men!’ “What's wrong with this kind?’ asked old Mr. Smith apprehensively. “We've been paying eight dollars a bottle for it!’ “Would I see you poisoned before my eyes?” asked the pink-faced man. “Pink Seal, bah! I know the stuff It’s made fresh every hour of chemicals in the east side factory. I represent Perfect Brut—The Wine of Kings and The King of Wines! Take this stuf! and throw it out!’’ “Oh, George, don’t talk shop,” cried a trim-figured sylph with golden hair. who was with the newcomers. “We just dropped in to win the cup. I hear you got a contest on tonight,” said the wine agent. “I am out with Mazie in my new -horsepower car az soon as I heard of it. Mazite has copped every cup she’s went after. Hey, Mazic? And I tell you what, where Mazie dances and don’t cop a cup, me and my friends pass up the joint after that. Get me?” “He's brought two professional dancers with him!’ hissed Clara Mudridge-Smith. “It’s all right, my dear, I'll attend to that!” whispered her husband. And he beckoned to the head waiter. “We'll have to let Mr. Lushford’s friends—he’s George Lushford, the fa- mous wine agent—compete,”’ replied the -eoyy waiter. “We can’t afford to lose his patronage. But it will be all right. We'll announce strictly ballroom steps, and the lady with him, Miss Montres- ser, can’t dance with her feet on the should win—and minute, was ax ] There, I think that will give the business a little boost! added starter whose claims could not bs denied. There would be a real con- test for the cup. Mr. Jarr turned pale. But the music struck up, and, as in a nightmare, he entered the arena as the partner of that most determined of cup hunters, Clara Mudridge-Smith. Some “Purp” Ton were gathered round the stove in the country grocery’ store swapping dog stories. Abner Mor- san had “all the best of it’’ with his yarns of the extraordinary intelligence exhibited by a collie belonging to his uncle. The others grew restive. Finally Job Perkins deemed the moment ap- propriate wherein to spring a tale that would cap all the others. “That was a purty clever dawg, Ab,’ drawled he, ‘‘an’ I make no doubt he was jest as knowin’ as you let on. But Say! He wasn’t a marker to a dawg my old man owned! Boys, the devotion of that dawg to the old man was shore amazin’.

UR contributor’s small friend, lit- tle Rollo, aged 5, Bad always observed that fish was the big dish at his home on Friday. And he had observed that the rule held in the neighboring households. Recently little Rollo was sent out t> visit his grandma in the country And after a day or two he missed something. - “Grandma,” said he, “ain't it ever Friday in the country?” “What a question!” she Of course it is.
