BACK INTO GALICIA Russians Win Decisive Victory at Tomaszow, on Their Own Soil, and Two Austrian Generals Are Among Dead—Beaten Army ‘Retires to Hills. ' By ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON, Sept. 5.—The Austrian invasion of Russian Poland has been decisively repulsed, atcording to dispatches from Petro- grad (St. Petersburg), which have reached the Exchange Tele- graph Co., via Rome. The dispatches state that, in a battle near Tomaszow, Pdland, the Russians completely routed the Austrians, and that two Generals are among the Austrian dead. Tomaszow is 30 miles southeast of Lodz, and is about halfway between the Austrian border and Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The plan of the Austrians was to effect a junction with the Ger- ‘man army corps from East Prussia, and then to march on Warsaw. The indications are that this plan has been thwarted, and that the Austrians are being driven back into Galicia (Austrian Poland), ‘where another Austrian army has already sustained crushing de- feats, causing the loss of Lemberg. The Petrograd War Office now esti- Russian victories in Galicia and the Servian victory at Jadar have so crippled the forces of the dual monarchy that only 10 Russian army corps are needed to keep Austria in cheek. ‘This released 20 corps for the in- vasion of Germany. A. Gispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. from Rome says it is officially ad- mitted in Vienna that the Russians have captured both Lemberg and Halicz. The Rome dispatch also states that dispatches from Vienna announce that, RUSSIA NOW TO TURN 20 CORPS ON GERMANS LONDON, Sept. 65. DISPATCH to the Exchange A Telegraph Co. from Rome con- tains a message from Petro- grad (St. Petersburg) in which a high Russian military official is quoted ag follows: “When the war began, Austria Was our most serious enemy be- cause, except for four army corps Sent against Servia, her entire forces were directed against us. “Now that Servia has annihil- ated four Austrian corps at Sha- batz and we have decisively defeat- ed 200,000 men between the Vistula and the Dniester, 10 Russian army corps are, sufficient to hold the Austrians in check, leaving us 2 corps free to launch against Ger- many.’’ Fussian center has suddenly begun 1 movement northward against the attack of the armies under the Austrian Gen- erals Aufenburg and Dankel, who have been, operating against Lublin and Zjamohac, in Russian Poland. This dis- petch wes sent before the news of the Lemberg’s Importance. The Chronicle's correspondent sends the following from Petrograd: “The capture of Lentberg is of great importance in freeing Russia’s hands ‘for her campaign against Germany. Ga- licla has its special importance for Russia, but it fs felt throughout. the mpire “ane the enemy to be crushed is miles west of Lemberg, which seems to be a good point for defense. “Gen.

FILMS URGED 10 GET WAR REVENUE House Committee Works on Lists of Articles Submitted for $ 100,000,000 Special Levy. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Taxing moving picture films for war reve- nue was urged before the Ways and Means Committee today at delibera- tions on the measure raise $160,000,- 00€C in response to President Wilson's message. One member of the com- mittee showed testimony of film manufacturers telling of profits ag gregating 116 per cent. Opposition to a tax on railroad tickets and gasoline developed. Scores of taxable items were dis- cussed. That cigars and _ tobacc? would not be taxed seemed assured, in the opinion of a majority of the members of the committee. An in-. creased tax on beer is assured. Do- mestic wines probably will not es- cape. Several members urged an Perease from one to one and one-half per cent in the taxes on the Income in excess of $4000, even though the rev- enue therefrom would not be avail- able until next year. There also was advocated a tax on inheritances. Lists of articles suggested for the special tax levy were considered by the committeemen and as soon as they com- plete their program it will be submit- ted to the Treasury Department. The amount of money to be produced on each article and taxation rate will be fixed, then the bill will be introduced in the House for immediate action. Articles suggested as special revenue producers included beer, domestic wines, whisky, tobacco, chewing gum, pro- prietary articles, soft drinks, playing cards, railroad and amusement tickets and gasoline. ‘ Banker to Collect the Belgian “Contribution” - COPENHAGEN, via London, Sept. 6.— The Berliner Tageblatt announces that Dr. Karl Helfferich, director of the Deutsche Bank, and Dr. Paul - von Schwabach, head of the Bleichroeder firm, who are serving as reserve officers in a cuirassier regiment, have been ap- pointed to attend to the arrangement for the .payment of Belgian war contribu- tions, It is recalled that Bismarck in 1871 employed the then head of the Bleich- roeder firm as financial expert in con- nection with the French war indemnity, ry Paris Youths Are Asked to Form a Bicycle Detachment PARIS, Sept. 5.—Gen.

They gathered round him and told him stories such as are now eecoming familiar and will presently be so common that the most unsensi- tive of minds will be capable of re- sponding to their appeal. Brieux writes: “Children weep or gaze with wide eyes, wondering what is the matter. Old folks sit in gloomy silence. Women with haggard cheeks and dishevelled hair seem to belong to another age. ‘They tell of invaders who scattered powder around or threw petroleum into their houses and then set them afire. “And when did this happen? Yes- terday! It is not a matter of centuries ago in distant climes, but yesterday and quite near to us. Yet one cannot be- lieve it was really yesterday that these things were done.

Louis Post-Dispatch by Special xt raamemnent With the Sun. HILE any effort to estimate the VW full purpose of the new German “turning movement,’’ reported from Paris and London alike this morpn- ing, must be wholly a matter of specu- lation, there are still certain facts which makes it possible at least to hazard 4 guess. To any student of the Civil War campaigns, there is an.ipevitable paral- lel, Thus, the other day it was pointed out that from Mons-Charleroi to the very gates of Paris, the German advance had followed the course and the strategy of Grant from the Wilderness to Cold Har- bor. In each case, a superior army ad- vancing upon the enemy’s capital had endeavored at once by frontal and flank attack to crush the opposing army an‘ to cut it off from the capital. Mons- Charleroi, Landrecies-Avesnes, St. Quen- tin-Guise—these battles are wholly anal- ogous to the Wilderness, Spottsylvania and South Anna, while the other recent battle, about which we know nothing, may probably be compared to Cold Har- bor. Policy of Isolation. Having failed at Cold Harbor, which was so near to Richmond that the smoke and sound of battle drifted over the Confederacy’s capital, what was Grant’s next move? A wide swing east and south to put himself in the rear of the Confederate capital, to take Peters- burg if possible, and to get possession of the railways leading south from Rich- mond. In a word, his strategy was sim- ply to isolate the city of Richmond, and he left.on the north only a minor force, taking the bulk of his army south. Now a glance at the map shows that La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre, the point at whieh the German movement seems *o be directed, is south and east of the first line of forts of Paris. It fs on the roads leading east and northeast ard connecting the armies of the center and right, that is, of the Meuse and Lor- raine, with Paris. Still further pressed, such a movement will strike the Seine at Fontainebleau and give the Germans contro] of prac- tically all the railways and roads going east. Paris will then be isolated from the east and north, Two Parallels Drawn. Precisely the same situation existed when Grant, after long months of siege work before Petersburg, finally broke the Confederate line at Five Forks, Lee was then forced to retreat hastily to escape being cut off completely from the south. His retreat Was begun too late. and his army Was captured before it could get west of the enveloping lines of Grant and Sheridan, moving west along the Appomattox. In the Franco-Prus- sian War the same operation shut Ba- zaine with his great army up in Metz and insured its ultimate surrender be- cause of threatened starvation. The present “‘turning movement,” if it is of the character indicated, and is suc- cessful, will presently leave the allies with the choice of being shut up in Paris and going south, necessarily to the Loire, the next line of defense, and the position of the French armies in 1871. Paris will then be wholly invested, and can be besieged. One more consequence of the present move would be to isolate the army about Paris from those in the north and east. If, at the same time, the German ad- vance toward Rheims and Verdun should be pushed, it might form another turning move to drive the army of the Meuse south and east of Rheims and upon the army of Lorraine, now fight- ing about Nancy. Such a move would wholly separate the two masses of French forces in the field. But it should be recalled that such a tremendous extension of lines in the enemy's country will nece: tate run- ning many risks. It might. be possible for the allies north of Paris to break the bm eth nasa to ~ STAFF QUARTE OVED 10 Reports From Both Capitals Sho -Maubeuge, Believed to ica Fallen, Is Still in Hands of Frencl Resisting German Bombar dment. * € By ASSOCIATED PRESS k, LONDON, Sept. 5, 3:45 p. m—Russia, Great Britain and France today signed an agreement that none of the three would 4 make peace without the consent of all three nations. : Following is the text of the protvcol.

Germans Confined te Land. One further and trémendous disad- vantage the Germans have which did not confront Grant. They have not the control of the sea: If they had, they could establish their base at Dieppe or Boulogne, as Grant did at City Point, and the difficulty of guarding com- munications for nearly 250 miles through hostile country would be avoided. This operation must be a heavy tax upon the German invading forces, calling for thougands of men. It may be assumed that the allies will ' risk one more battle before they retire to leave Paris to its fate. Yet they have no such necessity to stay about Paris as Lee had to stay about Rich- mond. Indeed, the departure of the Government officials south to Bordeaux was a plain evidence that military con- siderations were not to be sacrificed to political. To sum up briefly, so far as it is possi- ble to see now, the German attempt to get between Paris and the allied army and roll it up has falled, after two weeks of terrific fighting. The allies have succeeded in getting back to Paris. Now the Germans are beginning a new opera- tion to isolate Paris from the north and east of France and if possible to drive the whole allied force back into Paris and shut it up there. In _ this, they seem exactly to be pursuing the plans Grant employed in his Virginia campaign of 1364-6. Main Purpose Not Fulfilled, But so absorbing has been the struggle about Paris that something of a real perspective .has been lost. The main purpose of the Germans was to crush her and destroy her military force before Russia should become so dangerous on the east as to eompel sending troops from France to Posen and Kast Prussia. Five weeks after the declaration of war, no army of France has been crushed, 80 far as we Know now. On the other hand, Russia has come wp. terribly defeated the main Austrian yrmy, and occupied most of East Prus- sia.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—The German cruiser Karlsruhe has engaged and bad- ly disabled the British cruiser Bristol, off the coast of Hayti, according to H. H. Weissner, a Lieutenant of the Gere man army and leader of 78 Germans, — who arrived here today on the Clyde Line steamship, Aligonquin, from Pu- erto, Colombia, on their way to join the colors. _The German Lieutgfant algo said that a Dutch skipper had brought word te Peurto Colombia that the Karisruhe had met and sunk the British criser Glasgow, off the Colombian coast. ‘This, he said, was denied by British officials in Georgetown. Before meeting with the Bristol, Lieut. Weigsner asserted, the | Karlsruhe captured two British steam- ships, transferred their BS crews and stores to the cruiser, and then sent the ships to the bettom. After sinking the merchantment, the Karisruhe sailed to @ small island in th Carribbean Sea, off the port Baran- quilla, Colombia, and there landed the people taken from the British ships. Sufficient food for a month was left on the island. The marooned and crew may be on the island yet, Lieut. Weissner said. He had not heard that they had been taken off. The Bowes Castle, a British freighter, has been sunk by the Karisruhe, ac cording to a cablegram received today from’ Liverpool, off Maranhao, at. Latia— Island. Aceording to the cablegram, which was received by J. F.

This photo- Stuttgart Is Excited by Night Flying Foe Soldiers in Streets Pour Volleys Into Air and Crowds Rush About Making Arrests of Men Suspected as Spies. By Ralph Pulitzer. STUTTGART, Aug. 3.—This day had been an exciting one in Stuttgart. Huge crowds jammed the streets, now flow- ing in this direction, now ebbing in that direction, as some uew war bulletin was pasted up or some new rumor flew. Companies of reservists were constantly passing, singing patriotic songs; in civil- ians’ clothes, but with sodierly carriage and marching in admirable time. Bat- talions of troops in uniform—the new neutral gray field uniform with sensible light greenish cloth slip covers of the same color stretched over tieir sinfully impractical helmeis—marched by to fife and drum. Suspected. young men were being ar- rested as spies amid great turmoil, a man and a woman right in front of our hotel, where we saw the arrests plain- ly. Circumstantial stories of the shoot- ing of spies in the city and suburbs flew thick and fast. The hotel was jammed with officers in their neutral tinted war uniforms, fully equipped with bi- nocular, revolvers, cartridge cases, etc. Chauffeur Thrice Arrested. My chauffeur had been arrested three times as a spy, each time quietly re- leased, but no longer dared to show his face in the street.

All around rifles were banging like a Buffale@ Bill show. The soldiers looked up bewildered. Suddenly one civilian grabbed a soldier by the elbow and ran im out into the middle of the street furiously pointing out to him some ob- ject up in the dark sky. The soldier raised his rifle after a second and banged away, too, and everyone uur- rahed at each shot. I was too busy trying to spot flying machines and had just satisfied myself that a certain bright speck of light which appeared and disappeared was a compass light when a war of shouting came from some biocks away. Then a man tore up, panting, ““‘They’ve shot one down! They've brought down a flyer!” Everyone gave a trenzied cheer, and our soldiers redoubled their efforts to bag a fiyer themselves. Suddenly we he2rd a tumult approach ing and saw a black mob filling evens inch of the avenuegand rolling rapid’ y ‘oward us. We backed up the front steps of the holel.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 5.—The miiitary engagements aro ind Soldau, which at first promised to be to our advamage, have ended in a partial failure, which, however, can have no ultimate effect upon the operations which are to follow in Eastern Prussia, where our troops are holding strongly the positions al- ready captured. They are preparing to assume an energetic offensive. The heroism of our soldiers was put to a severe test by a German force in greatly superior numbers, gathered from different parts of the eastern theater of war. The Germans have been able to use their railroads for the purpose of bringing up garrison troops and heavy artillery, armored automobiles and other material from the neighboring fortresses. Our losses are certainly heavy, but we have lost as prisners only an in- significant number—namely 5449, SOUKHOMLINOFF, Minister of War.

He has of information that are not accessible to the press. Within the censorships there is knowledge which, mistakenly, a8 we believe, is withheld. If there were reason to hope that the war would taxes upon the American people. Every argument which is advanced Against a bond issue would fall of its own weight. It is because a state of war involving most of the world in its savagery is re- garded at Washington as likely to be of long duration that the President recommends addi- tional levies. Because our commerce is interrupt- ed, customs fail. The deficiency must be supplied by direct taxation. We are thus to be taxed again and again, not for wars of our own and not for any failure of our fiscal arrangements, but to meet a situation which we did not contrive and to carry burdens imposed upon us by the high enter- prises of war lords in partnership with gun- makers. To tide us over a brief period of embar- rassment, we might easily have borrowed. To have a mastery of conditions of uncertain dura- tion, we must adopt the one safe rule of paying as we £0. In this experience we may learn many lessons if we will. We shall discover that the penalties of war are no longer confined to those who make war. They fall with crushing forte upon the innocent, as in Belgium; upon the laborers, as in j many stricken industries all over the world, and upon legitimate enterprise wherever confidence is wrecked and exchange destroyed. What the speculator spares, the tax gatherer will demand. The guns that are destroying life and property in Europe are also wasting the substance of the two Americas, thousands of miles away. It is a grievous thing to lay war taxes upon a people at peace, but we applaud the courage of the President in meeting the issue squarely. He has told the truth about it. No doubt there will be partisans in and out of Congress: who will at- tribute the present difficulties to the administra- tion’s financial and economic policies. No doubt defeated and vengeful reactionaries, not long since cut off from privilege and graft, will wag thefr heads in simulated sorrow. But we have faith that the intelligence and patriotism of the American people will respond to his appeal and approve of his conclusions, These are not democratic taxes. They are im- perialistic taxes. They are the price that we pay for living contemporaneously with military au- tocracies. Every extortion in the markets, every new impost that Government imposes upon us and every loss that we suffer in estate or em- ployment may be traced to the carnage of a mil- itarism, which, long a blight on the earth, is now revealed as a world-wide curse. = = ed VERY IRREGULAR WARFARE. We think the Allies can fairly. protest against the way the Austrian armies are conducting the war on the Servian and Austrian frontiers. Notwithstanding the Austrian armies in those two quarters have been repéatedly destroyed by killing and capture, they persistently reappear in the next day’s news, still fighting. It seems to us’ that when an army has been | totally destroyed its duty is to get off the stage: and out of the limelight. | When it does otherwise its conduct impresses us as being distinctly violative of the rules. i ii. de '-~ Fr A TALE OF IMPERILED SAILOBS. Providential interpositions always used to come from above in the old miracle plays. But we have got a long waf: otro both the scenic effects and the theology of the miracle play period. Read the tale of certain imperiled sailors from a British warship who-had been abandoned in a whale- boat in the midst of enemies and the dangers of the deep in the North Sea: ” Suddenly a swirl alongside. And up, if you please, hops His Britannic Majesty’s -sub- marine E-4, opens its conning tower, takes them on board, shuts up again, dives and brings them home, 250 miles. Not alone the mysterious ingenuity of the rescuing contrivance, but more especially the highly suspicious direction from which it came would have caused the older theology to look with deep mistrust on the benignity in character and motive of the agency of deliverance. FAIRGROUND SWIMMING POOL. The closing of the Fairground swimming pool weeks before the end of the season is due, it ap- pears, to an error in municipal bookkeeping. The appropriation of $15,275 is exhausted, but the pool could have been kept open for several weeks longer if the revenue derived from the rental of bathing suits and towels and sale of soap had. been kept for expenses instead of turned into the city treasury. This pool has been a source of wholesome en- joyment to many thousands of persons, as is proved by the fact that the number of “swims” since it opened last spring was over 253,000. And it has doubtless been the means of saving lives that might have been lost if swimmers had gone to unprotected waters. Next season, finances should be so arranged as to permit the pool to keep open until the cool weather. ¢$¢e¢ HELP FOR ADULT BLIND. According to Joseph A.

One of the dramatic surprises of the war—from the first we have been prepared in a measure for surprises—is that story about the thundertok forged in the frozen North in aid of sorely pressed France. At Archangel, away up near the Arctic: Circle, we are told, 80,000 Russians were loaded on transports and brought through the White Sea and past the North Cape to a Scottish port, being thence carried by rail and boat to Ostend. So good a story ought to be true. And really there is nothing of inherent improbability in it. Archangel was at one time Russia’s only seaport and is now a large shipping center. It is con- nected by a railroad nearly 600 miles long with; the interior lines of the country, so the concen- tration of this or even a larger force at Archangel presented no especially difficult problem. If, in addition to great armies on the Prussian and Austrian frontiers Russia has been able to gather further troops in this large number and forward them by an unusua! route nearly 3500 miles long to the vicinity of the western fighting zone within a little more than a month after the declaration of war, it is another evidence of the rapidity of her mobilization. Assuming that the ‘move has actually been made, it shows a fertility of resource and readiness in accommodating means to ends that argue well for the further conduct of the war. Heretofore there has not been muck of finesse in the operations. Huge bodies of Germans have battered away at the allies, who have battered back as long as they were able and then retreated to “previously selected position.” But a strong British, Russian and Belgian army, taking the of- fensive from Ostend in the Germans’ rear, would introduce some of the more subtle points of strategy. Participation through the means described of large numbers of Russians in such a flanking campaign would be a daring move on the big chessboard—one on which the Berlin genera! staff perhaps had never asantea \ HOTEL WAR PRICES.

On Aug. 31 the New York World published, in its Washington dispatches, the following: Carranza aspiresto be President, but under the Mexican Constitution he cannot succeed himself. He maintains that he is not provisional President, but merely the military dictator pending the holding of an election. Gen. Villa insists that Carranza is provisional President, and that he will not consent to his (Carranza’s) seeking the office in the general elections. Villa's position is. the same as that of the United States. Mr. Fuller (the President’s personal envoy in Mexico), is to tell Carranza that the posi- tion Villa takes is patriotic and logical, and that ne must conform his views and policies to it. Neither the troops nor the warships will be withdrawn until peace has been re- stored. In a letter to the Post-Dispatch, published Sept 1, “An American Citizen,” a St. Louisan who has traced the Mexican revolution step by step, pro- tested against the alleged attitude of the Wash- ington Government toward Col. Carranza. saying, in substance, that Carranza is not in fact provi- sional President nor any other kind of President of Mexico, but is only First Chief of the Consti- tutional Army, as expressly stipulated in the Plan of Guadalupe, under which the revolution was launched and conducted to a successful con- clusion, and that Carranza is therefore legally eligible to election as President of Mexico. Friday morning, Sept. 4, dispatches from Wash- ington brought the following: Gen. Venustiane Carranza is eligible to be elected President of Mexico, according to the attitude of the United States Governmett, as it was made known here today, To White House callers. President Wilson explained that Gen. Carranza is not provisional Presi- dent of Mexico, but that his official title is “First Chief of the Constitutionalist Army.” The Washington Government naturally sympa- thized with Gen. Villa’s wish that no soldier should -be chosen President of Mexico; that the new chief executive should be a civilian, hence not likely to be tempted to use the army to defeat the Mexican people’s desire for a genuinely constitutionalist government. However, the dan- ger involved in an attemp* vy the Washington Government to deny the Mexican people their natural right to elect Carranza, if they so choose, has been opportunely recognized, and avoided. Col. Carranza, as he is known at home—he fs not a professional soldier and has no bona fide mili- tary title—is by general agreement of qualified observers, and apparently’ also of the Mexican people, the man best fitted for the presidency. The Washington Government's recognition of his eligibility may be displeasing to Gen. Villa,. but Villa’s earnest wish for peace under a consti- tutional government is counted upon to prevent him from carrying his opposition to Carranza’s election to the extreme of a new armed revolt. The more especially so since he. will now under- stand-that such action will bring down upon him not only the whole strength of the de facto Mexican Government, but the active displeasure also of the United States Government. = = * ro.

This ruling made it much caster for him to get aronvnd. therefure permitted to roam at will. He saw the Servian army for the firat time. It is on the fifth page, and is resting after having chased a huge body of Austrians over on the fourth page. The Servians have never fought in an afternoon paper before, and it is pretty hard on them to keep it up through s0 many edi- tions. They were waiting for their second wind to come up. The Weath- r Bird says an arrangement has been made by which all prisoners are to be sent back and fed in common on the market page. Seventy thousand Russians recently captured by the Germaus arrived in the potato column while he was there, and they very seon made a blank space of fit. One of his most amusing experiences oc- curred on Wednesday afternoon. Hearing a terrific explosion back of him, he hurried off through the pa- per to find out what it was, scenting a great news story. He located it on the sporting page. The Cardinals had biown up. The Germans put in most of their time om the front page yesterday, bringing up the 72-point type with which they are going to bombard Paris. The Allies have nothing big- ger than 48-point.

LOUIS, Sept. 4, 1914 Dear Mr. McAdams: { write to express my preference for your concise and truthful accounts of the fighting in the Post-Dispatch. Here is something that is more than rumor. Solid fact, that may be verified by any reader who will spend the money to buy half a dozen or so editions daily, and take the trouble to follow the fortunes of the opposing armies in their movements from the want ads to the first page and back again. I consider it much superior in veracity to any news we have had from London, Paris, Ber- lin, Petrograd* or Vienna. You have the satisfaction of knowing that your account of the military opera- tions is unimpeachable, and however much historians may quarrel about and question the truthfulness of other re- ports, the accuracy of yours cannot be impugned. By the way, I 2m surprised that you have failed to comment on the most ef- fective strategy so far displayed in the war. The Czar has shown the Germans, French and Austrians how really to protect a city. He simply removed it from the map. Whatever may happen, St. Petersburg is safe. The Germans may take Warsaw, Moscow, Odessa, Viadivostok or even Petrograd, but 8t.: Petersburg—never. i am sorry the gentieman who daily continues to hold:the two columns just to the left of your position, does not pick a fight with you and force you to declare war. If you could take a cue from Bismarck, you might artfully pro- voke, then defeat him him in a bloody battle or two on the editorial page; an- nex his territory to your own, and thus afford civilization a more ample oppor- tunity to get,a correct point of view as to the probable causes, happenings ani consequences of the war.

They perfume and anoint the hair that it may be more. pleasing as we draw their pretty heads gently to our breasts. Their thoughts are all . for us, and surely we ought to be thankful therefor. But why is it necessary for them to go to all these lengths? Why do they attempt to improve where no improvement is possible? Why do they ‘try to embellish what needs no embellishment?

In Use For Over 30 Years THE CENTAUR COMPANY, NEW YORE CrTY. Sparing the Toothbrush ‘ HARLES D. HILLES is president ( of the New York Juvenile Asso- ciation and in the course of. his duties he deals with the sort of boys who are called bad. Not content merely with dealing with bad boys and trying te make them good, or to punish thern for their badness, he has spent some time trying to find out what has made them bad and he has come to the con- clusion that it is not sparing the rod that spoiled them, but sparing the tooth brush. Investigation shows, he declares, that $1 per cent of the delinquent boys that eome to his association to be looked after have bad teeth from which they suffer, and that instead of worrying much about thei morals his association. worries about their teeth, so that after two years of competent dentistry and the assiduous use of the toothbrush, 9 per cent of them are turned out re- formed. i This seems to be a reversion to the Oriental idea that the seat of morals is located in the liver, only Mr. Hilles varies this somewhat by locating it in the stomach. His inquiry is not whether a boy is good at heart; is he good in the stomach? is his query. He finds that the bad boy is usually an anemic boy, the anemia ‘being due to poor digestion through insufficient nourish- ment caused by bad teeth. When this is corrected the boy becomes normal, takes On a saner and healthier view of life and its duties, and changes his }whole moral attitude. For a long time now there has been growing a tendency away from. punish- ing bad children for even the most dogmatic of educators have come to realize that, after all, the grownups really know very little about the work- ‘tings of the child mind, and that punish- J ant for deeds which by adult stand- jarde were wror., but which, according }to child ethics were susceptible of quite ‘| reasonable explanation, ‘was both stupid ' _ and inhumane.

The “judges’’ of the contest were only men of straw to do the head waliter’s with Miss Mazie Montressor, an agile sylph who devoted her fair young life bidding, so it would séem that before long a pleasure party would be on the to “sharpshooting.” that is, capturing] rocks at Cheese Hill Inn, | prize cups in dance gardens and road- In his dilemma the head waiter looked house eontests. for the manager and the proprietor, but “To those who know nothing of the ways and customs of the Land of Os- at the first sign of war all along the tentatious Waste, it may be here stated party—the manager and the proprietor line—the entrance of the ‘rival winw that in the Spending World, whose main j| had taken to the latter’s auto and were now on their way to another roadhouse Under normal circumstances the hea! waiter at Cheese Hill Inn would have had the. cup awarded to the party buy- ing the most wine before the contest and who naturally would buy the most to fill the cup and pass it around afte~ their lady champion had won it. But now this simple situation was complicated by the fact that one party was led by a wine agent and the other party had secretly furnished the cup, or at least the head of the one party, Mr. Jabez Smith, had. ‘‘The only thing I can do is to stall and tire.’em out!’’ muttered the head waiter to himself. ‘‘Let her go, profes- sor!” he cried aloud. As this was the fourth time he had called it, and as it was the fourth time Mr. Jarr had to get up and dance, that gentleman was in a state of perspiring @ » The cup contest winds up disastrously. | ~Ollapse. But Mrs. Clara Mudridge-Smith was dancing in high-heeled, short-vamr shoes that would have tortured anyone not of the female species to wear. Mrs. Clara Mudridge-Smith ware also the tightest of modish skirts, and, in con- fidence, the lady was tightly laced. Hence she danced on and-.on to the strident ragtime tunes, as fresh as the proverbial daisy. By the fourth round of the dance contest—Mr. Jarr would have called it ‘theat’’—all other contestants, save Miss Montressor and her partnér, and Mrs. Smith and Mr. Jarr, had been “picked,’’ that is, diplomatically invited out of the contest, by the judges. After the fifth round, the judges now announced a brief respite to allow the musicians to get their second wind, and in this recess Mr. Jarr got opportu- | nity to whisper a brief entreaty and to slip some legal teuder to Louis, the as- sistant head waiter. Then the music struck ip again ant Mr.\Jarr dragged |:is weary limbs to the firing line once more, Mr. Jarr and Mrs. Mudridge-Smitn danced round and round and = round. Here it must be shown that we must never despise our numble former friends, for Mr. Ferdinand Floss, the floor- walker in the store where Clara Mud- ridge had been at the veil counter ere the days she got rich quickly by marry- ing, came, with his friends, as earnest adulators of the dashing matron and the unfortunate Mr. Jarr. “They win thé cup! fessionals sit down!’’ cried Mr. Ferdi-, nand Fluff, loyally. ‘“‘It’s an outrage, they have been kept dancing nearly an hour!’ And here Mr. Fluff consulted Let those pro- e+ — ~ eee : 4 ~ his wrist watch. Only an hour? Mr. Jarr could have sworn, were he capable even of swear- ing, that he had been dancing to the hellish strains of ragtime since St. Vitus first gave his name to this form of af- fliction. Mr. Jarr’s feet felt like burning lead. only hotter and heavier. His brain reeled, only he felt he had no brains, only a chaotic ache as wide as inter- sellar space. Pains dull and crunching racked his frame. The hand in which he held the shapely fingers of Clara Mudridge-Smith at the proper angle for the modern dance—which is as though one is pointing at an airship—felt frac- tured from wrist to shoulder. Then came a wild cry, ‘“The cup has been stolen! Who stole the cup!” And like a.skyrocket across a murky night flashed this glad intelligence to his numbed yet aching eonsciousness—the cup, the cruel, the accursed cup, the vessel of torture was gone! “Who pinched the mug?” demanded Mr. George Lushford. “Here, Emil, Louie! What's this we get handed to us?’ “Judgment! Judgment!” cried Mr. Fer- dinand Floss and his party, “Mrs. Smith wins the cup! Where ts it?” ‘‘Mazie Monetessor wins it! Why, that gink dancing with the other dame thought he was playing hop scotch!” cried Mr. Lushford’s party. Fortu- nately Mr. Jarr was so far gone that he did not hear this last insult to his terpsichorean efforts. There was so much-excitement over the theft of the cup—it had been in plain view on a table near the dance floor—that nobody paid any attention ito Mr. Jarr when Fitz, the \vaiter, who go of Mr. Jarr, who fell down, his Re striking the dance floor, but 1 splintering. oe weheoteet A pulmoter!”’ gasped ty Jarr. “We leave this joint, and we leave i ‘ flat!” declared Mr. Lushford angrily. “This what comes of dancing in a ¢ | mon place!’ snapped Mrs. Jarr and ire Mudridge-Smith together. ‘But as they left the grounds . ot thing that burst a tire.
