By Richard Harding Davis. Published Exclusively in St. Louis by the Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1914, by the Wheeler Syndicate.) PARIS, Sept. 13 (delayed by censor).—The struggle for the possession of Soissons lasted two days. The second day's battle, which I witnessed, ended with the city in the possession of the French. It was part*of the seven days of continuous fighting that began Sept. 6 at Meaux. Then, the German left wing, consisting of the army of Gen. von Kluck, was within 10 miles of Paris. But the French and English, instead of meeting the advance with a defense, themselves attacked. Steadily, all of last week, at the rate of 10 miles a day, they have been driving the Germans back across the Aisne and the Marne and so have saved Paris. When this retrograde movement of the Germans began, those who could not see the nature of the fighting believed that the German line of communication, the one from Aix-la-Chapelle through Belgium, had proved too long, and that the left wing was voluntarily withdrawing to meet the new line, communicating through Luxemburg. Desperate Resistance Shown Along Roadway. The fields of battle beyond Meaux, through which it was necessary for me to pass to reach the fight at Soissons, showed no evidence of leisurely withdrawal, but on both sides evidence of most desperate fight- ing and of artillery fire that was widespread and desolating. That of the Germans, intended to destroy the road from Meaux and cover theip re- treat, showed marksmanship so accurate and execution so terrible as, while it lasted, to render pursuit impossible. The battlefield stretches from the hills three miles north of Meaux, for four miles along the road, and a mile to each side. The road is lined with poplars three feet across, and as high as a five-story building. For four miles the road was piled with branches of the trees. The trees themselves were split as by lightning, or torn in half as, with your hands, you could tear apart a loaf of bread. Through some, solid shell had passed along clean holes. Others looked as though drunken woodsmen with axes from roots to topmost branches had slashed them in crazy fury. Many Killed by Terrific Bombardment. Some shells ‘had broken solid trunks in two as a hurricane snaps a mast. That no human being could survive such a bombardment I saw many grewsome proofs. In one place for a mile the road was lined with those wicker baskets in which Germans carry their ammunition. These were filled with shells unexploded, and behind the trenches were hundreds more of these baskets, some as large as lobster pots or umbrrila stands. for the shells of the siege guns, and others each of three compartments For shrapnel lay in gutters along the road, and in the wheat fields on each side the brass shells flashed in the sunshine like tiny mirrors. The four miles of countryside, over which for four days each army had plowed the earth with shells, was the picture of complete desolation. The route of the German army was marked by knapsacks, uniform and ac- countrements, scattered over the fields on each hand as far as one could see. Red Cross flags hanging from bushes showed where there had been dressing stations. Under them were bloodstains, bandages and clothing and boots in heaps as high as a man’s chest, and the bodies of those German soldiers that the first-aid had failed to save. After death, the body is mercifully robbed of its human aspect. You are spared the thought that what is lying in the trenches among the shattered trees and in the what fields, staring up at the sky, once was man. It appears to be only a bandle of clothes, a scarecrow that was tumbled among the grain. ‘Missing’ Frequently Buried, Unidentified. But it gives a terrible meaning to the word “Missing” when you read in the reports from the war office that 5000 are “Missing.” You like to think of them safely cared for in a hospital or dragging out the period of the war as prisoners, but the real missing are those I saw today, the unidentified dead. Some peasant will bury them tonight or tomorrow but he will not know the purpose of the medal each wears around his neck. (Fach German soldier wears a medal with a number correspond- ing to his number on the army roll, for purposes of identification. ) With him will be buried his name and the number of his regiment No one will know where he fell or where he lies. Someone will always hope that he will return. For among the dead his name did not appear. REPLACING OF NEW STAMP TAX AFTER YEAR IS PROPOSED Many Democrats Favor Shift of War Levy to Incomes as Soon as Possible. 17.—A brand- proposition on incomes will be by one or more members of Ways and Means Committee when consideration of the bill be- gins. It is the purpose of cer- tain Democrats to add one-half of a cent to the present income tax all down the line, and let the sum col- iected in this way take the place of the stamp tax provided for by Mr. Underwood's plan after ‘it has Bin S year. This, the friends of the income tax proposition say, would meet the ar- gument that such a tax would not be responsive. In other words, they say, let the stamp tax run for a year and bring in $35,000,000, but at the end of that time substitute for it the in- ccme tax. The war tax situation as it stands is that Chairman Underwood and other members of the Ways and Means Committee are ready to frame a bill that will provide a tax on beer at the rate of 50 cents a barrel, and sweet wines at 20 cents a gallon, and dry wines at 12%; a stamp tax on commercial paper, a tax on tobacco manufacturers and dealers, this being a privilege, and 2 cents a gallon on gasoline. Prospect of large revenues from a stamp tax on insurance policies and land conveyances has led the Democrats to plan to eliminate the tax on checks from the bill. Some members hope to aban- don the checks ‘ax altogether, but if that is not feasible it will be proposed to exempt all checks under $50. No effort will be made by the House Committee to substitute a graduated tax on automobiles based upon manufac- turers’ value, for the 2-cent tax on gaso- line. Such an effort may be made, how- ever, when the bill reaches the Senate. Many amendments will be offerea w tne war tax bill when it reaches the floor of the House and Senate. There are Congressmen who would tax ciga- rettes, cigars, soft drinks and whisky.

WASHINGTON, Sept. I17.—President Wilson announced today he had received from the Imperial Chancellor of Ger- many a non-committal reply to his in- quiry into the report that Emperor Wil- liam was willing to discuss terms ot pesce. President Wilson said there was not)- ing to indicate whether the inquiry haji been brought to the attention of Em- peror William. The opinion prevails ir official circles that a further reply is expected. President Wilson's answer to.the mes- eage of protest from President Poincare of France, who charged the German army with using dumdum bullets, has been prepared today, and was ready to be cabled. While the text had not been given out at the White House, it was understood that Mr. Wilson's reply followed the lines of his answer to Emperor William, who in a message to the President ac- cused the allies of using dumdum bullets, and his verbal address to the Belgian commission that called on him yester- day to protest against alleged atrocities by the Germans in Belgium. In both of these Mr. Wilson made it plain that the United States at this time cannot pass judgment on or take part in any controversies between the countries now at war. Settlement of these matters, he said, must await the termination of the war, which he prayed might be very soon. The text of the President’s reply to Emperor William, which follows closely the wording of his talk to the Belgian commissioners, was as follows: “I received your Imperial Majesty's important communication of the 7th and have read it with gravest interest and concern. Yam honored that you should have turned to me for an impartial judg- ment as the representative of a people truly disinterested as respects the preg- ent war, and truly desirous of knowing and accepting the truth. “You will, I am sure, not expect me to say more. Presently, I pray Goa very soon, this war will be over. The day of accounting will then come. When I take it for granted the nations of Europe will assemble to determine a settlement Where wrongs have been coinmitted, their consequences and the relative responsibility involved will be assessed. The nations of the world have fortunately, by agreement, made a Plan for such a reckoning and settle- ment. What such a plan cannot com- pass, the opinion of mankind, the final arbiter of such matters, will supply. “It would be unwise, it would be pre- !mature, for a single government, how- ever fortunately separated from the present struggle, it would even be in- consistent with the neutral position of any nation, which, like this, has no part in the contest, to form or express a final judgment. ‘ “T speak thus frankly, because I know that you will expect and wish me to do sO as one friend should to another, and because I feel sure that such a reserva- tion of judgment until the end of the war, when all its events and circum- stances can be seen in their entirety, and in their true relation, will commend itself to you as a true expression of sincere neutrality. “WOODROW WILSON.” charge as to dumdum bullets, and the French countercharge on the same subject, have not alleged that such bullets were found in the body of any dead or wounded soldier, but only that a supply of the bullets were found in captured stores. Dum- dum bullets are of soft lead, and spread upon striking a bone. Their use is for- bidden by The Hague rules of war. aaa eco Hritish gf og to United States Use- eas, Says Ackland. LONDON. Sept. 17.—In the House of Commons this afternoon Francis Dyke Ackland, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, stated that the Brit- ‘wh Government had no objection to a: inquiry being made with regard to the alleged use of durndum bullets, and re- ported atrocities. The Government would participate in such an inquiry, he eaid, but as to the suggestion that it should ask the United States to set up a committee of inquir: he considered that, in view of the reply reported to have been given by Presi- dent Wilson to Germany, there was no use making proposals to the United The Kaiser’s States on the subject.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. PARIS, Sept. 17, 3:20 p. m—The official report issued im Paris this afternoon on the progress of the fighting northeast of the capital, shows thatthe great battle is continuing with unde: cisive results.

The French have repulsed some of their counter attacks. The text of the official communication is as follows: ‘‘¥iret—On our left wing the resistance of the enemy oa ‘the heights to the north of the River Aisne has continued, in spite of the fact that the enemy gave back slightly at eertain points. ‘‘Second—On the center between Berry-au-Bac on the Aisne and the Argonne, the situation shows no change.

German aeroplanes appear to have vanished from the scene of action. For about a week past none has been observed, and British sharpshooters declare that they have accounted for so many that the others now hesitate to take the air. _ Many dashing incidents are being recorded of the extraordinary reck- ' tess bravery of the French troops. 3,000,000 Men Engaged in Battle Along 110 Mile Line LONDON, Sept. 17.—The front of the opposing armies along the Aisne is, as the crow flies, 110 miles. With the original armies engaged and the reinforcements which have reached them since battle was given, the forces aggregate probably 3,000,000 men. Making allowances for the deviation north of Loan, the line must be quite 150 miles long, so there is ample room for successes on one part of the field and reverses elsewhere. The Germans are in their selected positions with strong reinforce- ments brought up from Lorraine; consequently this great battle may yet prove to be one of the most decisive and momentous of the war. Whether the Germans have found it necessary or advisable to turn and en- gage in a general action or not, this great battle wages fiercely and rivals in ‘importance the battles of the Marne. Germans are strongly entrenched on the heights of Laon and Rheims, with their right protected by the Oise and the Aisne at Noyon. The British and French armies seem to be attempting to repeat on the Aisne the turning movements carried out so successfully on the Marne and in the present case they have the additional incentive of knowing, should the German right again be turned, there are no great defensive positions behind the invaders until they reach the River Meuse. The position of the army of the German Crown Prince, making its way toward the Stenay Gap, remains full of interest. The French army which barred the exit of the Crown Prince by Toul is still hurrying in pursuit of him. The allies’ right pursues the Orown Prince. All reports indicate that the iatter is quite as demoralized as was Von Kiuck’s army, and is suffering equally from lack of provisions and ammunition. While Von Kiuck has no doubt received what he needs in this respect, it is doubtful if the Crown Prince has. The issue of the battle may depend upon the condition of the Crown Prince’s army, and whether he can make a stand and prevent the allies from turning the German left. Some of the military experts still think that the Germans hope by this action only to check the onrush of the allies and that later they will take up the defensive on the Namur line. There is no confirmation of the reported German abandonment of Liege, but it would not be surprising in the opinion of observers in London, to see the Germans quit Belgium altogether if there is any truth in the report that the Eastern arena of the wai has become the decisive position in German eyes and that Germany will be content for the pres- ent to remain a defensive attitude in the west.

LINDON, Sept. «:.—Samuel Rezner, whose address is given as 4 East Fifty- eighth street, New York City, has ar- rived in London from Halicz, a town of Austria-Hungary, near the Russian border, after having seen much of the fighting between the Russians and Aus- trians. Rezner was visiting farmer, when the war began. He says the Galicians are so friendly to the Russians and unfriendly to the Aus- trians that they showed the Russian army all the roads in the province, and gave full information concerning the Austrian troops and their movements, enabling the invaders to make success- ful excursions. Finally the Austrian Generals removed the Slav troops from Galicia, replacing them with soldiers who were bitter enemies of the Rus- sians. “The fighting became so bad that my brother and I decided to take a team and drive away from the line,” said Rezner. ‘“‘We saw fighting at Halicz, Nisznow and several other towns. The Austrians were unsuccessful because the Rugsians seemed to have complete information about their movements.”’ He added that there was great terror throughout Western Austria-Hungary because of the Russian advance.

COZENS HARDY, Special Correspondent of the - Post- Dispatch and London Daily News. PARIS, Sept. 17.—It looks asa if the War may result in the re-establishment of an entente cordiale between the church and state in France. Hundreds of nuns have been recalled from Belgium, to which country they were expelled when the religious orders were dissolved, and are working as hos- pital nurses. Moreover, there are 22,000 monks on the battlefield. It is thought impossi. ble that the heroic work of both nuns and monks should be lost on a public which is ever quick to recognize devo- tion to duty. We probably never shall see the con. cordat in France again, but under a new Pope it is believed that the war will induce a better understanding be- tween church and Government. Churches still refhain the property of the state, but I think we at least shall ses an era in which not only national mon- uments, like Notre Dame, but ail churches will be maintained and _re- vaired at public expense.

GERMANS EXPECTED TO MOVE ON WARSAW Kaiser’s Commanders Con- centrate 750,000 Men for Possible of Poland, Which Would Di- vert Russian Campaign. By Associated Press, LONDON, Sept. 17. — Dispatches from Russian sources are interpreted here as meaning that the terribly bat- tered second Austrian army is safe under the guns of Przemysl, but with the Russians only 19 miles away. Des- perate efforts probably will be made to form a junction with the Fourth Austrian army with the idea of reor- ganizing with Cracow as the base. The Russians have crossed the River San and are hammering away at the retreating Austro-German forces. De- spite their unprecedented losses the forces of the Germanic allies seem to retain their fighting organization, and if they gain Cracow they may prevent the Russian right from making a march on Berlin from Warsaw. The Petrograd military critics express the belief that the Germans, having rec- ognized the strategic unimportance of East Prussian operations, will detach their army away from that region an14 begin a march on Warsaw, thus fore- stalling a Russian offensive on Berlin from that direction. The position of Grodek, 15 miles west of Lemberg, occupied by the Russians, is of great natural strength, provides an ideal operating base and, in case of 4% counter attack can be easily defended. The Servians and Montenegrins con- tinuing their campaign in Bosnia and Hergegyvvina, are well within these provinces and are optimistically pian- ning a march on Ludapest. The Central News has given out a dis- patch from its correspondent at Petro- grad, who says that the retreating Aus- trian army in Galicia has lost all dis- cipline and the retirement has become a rout. According to a report from Vienna, the correspondent says, Emperor Fran- cis-Joseph has left the Austrian capital for an unannounced destination. RUSSIAN VICTORS ON WHOLE FRONT LONDON, Sept. 17.—In summing up recent Russian operations the Petrograd correspondent of the Exchange Tele- Sraph Co. says: “The Russians have been successful in the fighting with the retreathg Aus- trians along the whole front and news is continuously coming in of the Cap- ture of further prisoners and guns. On the left bank of the River San the Rus- sians have successfully attacked the Austrians, who are retreating. “in Eastern Prussia all of the Ger- man efforts to surround a portion of the Russians have failed.’’ Germans Flee From Poland, A Petrograd dispatch to the Telegraph says: “The news of the Russian victories, say correspondents at the front, have caused a headlong flight among the Germans in the districts of Czenstocho- wa, Klobucko, Sieradz and Kalisz, Rus- sian Poland. Long transports of muni- tions and stores are moving and every day loaded trains leave Czentoschowa for Krauseburg, Silesia. “Russian patrols are constantly widen- Ing their radius of action. The inhab- itants of Zdunskawola, southeast of Kalisz, have been given notice to evacu- ate the town in three days, as it is to be fortified. A special train is beinw provided for those who wish to go tv Germany.” The Daily Mail Petrograd correspond- ent, describing the possibility of a Ger- man invasion of Poland, says: “It is believed the Germans now have concentrated 750,000 men in East Prus- Bia, a far greater number than is re- quired for mere defensive movément. As there would be little purpose in at- tempting to drive the Russian Genera! Rennenkampff, out of his strong pos- tion at Kovno and venturing into the interior of Russia, there is every rea- son to surmise that the object of the east German concentration is an inva- sion of Poland and an attempt to cap- ture Warsaw. “If this were attained it would not only safeguard Eastern Prussia, but would also dislodge a great portion of the Russian forces now operating in Galicia, thus easing the pressure there.”’ Russians Near Preemysi. A dispatch from Petrograd to the Reuter Telegram Co. gives this outline of the situation in Galicia: The position of Grodek, occupied by the Russians, is 18 miles west of Lem. berg and is situated on the heights, un- der which a chain of six almost con- necting lakes stretch out toward the Russian frontier, forming a natural de- fense for 14 miles running north and south.

"17,.—The Harwich cor- respondent of the Liaily Telegraph sends this story of how the German cruiser Hela was destroyed, as toid by one of the crew of submarine E—?: “In the early hours of Sunday morn- ing two or three British submarines were stalking the Hela about six miles off the German coast. The wind was freshening and ths sea was beginning to get rougher. The E—9 came to the surface at 6:30 o’clock and sighted the enemy, which was seen to be within range. ‘With all possib!e speed the E—9 dived and at a suitable depth launched two torpedoes at intervals of 15 seconds. Whether both struck is not definitely known, but one of them certainly was effective, as the explosion followed. “The E—9 remained below about a quarter of an hour and then came to the surface briefly for a survey, which showed the Hela listing tadly. There were other German ships in the vicinity but none were active fighting units. “The submarine prudently dived again at once. After an interval something over a quarter of an hour, !t came to the surface again, but the Hela had disappeared. “The submarine got away safely, but was unable to make a report of her achievement to the admiralty until to- day, when she first got within her wire- less range. The submarine crew said their boat was never seen by the enemy either befere or after the blow was struck.” Prince Cantacuzene Notifies Mrs. Grant Wound Is Improved CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Prince Michael Contacuzene, whose wife was Miss Julia Dent Grant, (a granddaughter of Pres- ident Grant, is recovering from a wound received in the firing line of the Russian advance into Galicia, according to a cablegram received here today by Mrs. Frederick D.

By Associated Preas. LONDON, Sept. 17.—The correspondent of the Times at Havre, in describing the battle of the Aisne, says: “As opposed to the battle of the Marne, which was a battle of rivers and plains, woodlands and high plateaus, the battle of the Aisne was a river crossing on @ scale such as has never before been seen, a triumph of organization and en- gineering, as much as of courage and fighting powers. “The time was Saturday evening and the moment had arrivéd when, if the ‘ fleeing host was to be saved, some sort ‘|cf stand must be made. “The enemy gathered hurriedly to- gether for a great effort on the heights which overlooked the river.

But the river was swollen, running swiftly after the recent rains, bridges must be built une cer a withering fire, they must be maine tained undamaged and must be crossed.

CRUELTIES Associated Press Correspondent Who Traveled 100 Miles With Troops Says They Were Gentle and That Every “Outrage” Suscept- ible of Inquiry Was Either Imagined or Half Excusable. NIEW YORK, Sept. 17.—An Associated Press staff correspona- ent of American New York office German invasion, escaped to Holland, experiences: “The night before has the Germans éti- tered Brussels, when the Belgian civil gvards and refugees began pouring into the city from the direction of Louvain, of unspeakable old they brought | stories German atrocities, maltreatment of men and children and the violation of women. “The Belgian capital reeled with ap- prehension. Within an hour the gayety. the vivacity and brilliancy of the city went out like a broken are light. The radiance of the cafes was exchanged for darkness: whispering groups of resi- dents broke up hurriedly and locked themselves into their nomes, where they put up the shutters and drew in their tri-colored Belgian flags ‘*The historic Belgian city went througn a state of morbid consternation remark- ably like that from which it suffered on June 18, 1815, when it trembled with the fear of a French victory at Waterloo. Soon Chatting With Finemy. “In less than % hours, the Belgian citizens were chatting comfortaBly with +he German invaders and the allegation of German brutality and demoniacal tor- ture dissolved into one of the myths which have accompanied all wars. “Neither in Brussels, nor in its en- virons, was a single offensive act, so far as I know, committed by a German soldier. In a city of more than 500,000 people, invaded by a hostile army of yerhaps a quarter of a million soldiers, flagrant to demand came ‘to my attention. “The frightful reporte that had pre- ceded the German army into Brussels ‘included the disemboweling of old men /and the impaling of children on lances, ‘just outside of Louvain. Investigation failed to substantiate these but could not even discover anyone in the immediate vicinity who An eyewitness of unim- told me the worst observed during the into Louvain (Aug “not only had entry he Neaned from his horse and kissed a pretty Flemish girl, who brought him a glass of beer. “IT marched for days with the German columns, often only one day behind the fighting, with the houses that had been burned still smoldering, the ground freshly broken by shells and trampled by horses and men and the memory of the German advance vivid in the minds of the inhabitants. “T interviewed an average of “0 persons in each of a dozen towns and found only one instance of a noncombatant who had been killed without a justifiable provocation. In this case the evidence did not clearly prove that the man was ‘wantonly murdered. “He lived in one of the typical small Belgian countrvside houses which com- bine the comforts of home with the lure of a sma!!l public bar. This house was at the north end of Merbes le Chateau, a town through which a large part of the German army passed on the road to Maubeuge. A son of the mur- dered man. whose name was Arthur Nicodem, showed me blood clots on the fioor marking the place where Nicodem fell, his throat cut by a saw-edged Ger- man saber. Four Houses Had Been Burned. “It was said by some inhabitants that the murdered man showed a pair of binoculars, but a more probable ex- | planation was that English outposts had eoncealed themselves in the house, from of fire upon first German invaders. The infer- ence that the shooting was done by Bel- gian civilians may have inflamed the Germans to reprisals. In that neighbor- hood four houses had been burned and one Was astill ablaze as I passed on Wednesday, Aug. 26. “This town of Merbes le Chateau, which had been the scene of an unim- portant skirmish between the Germans and English on the previous Sunday, was rijdled with rifle shots. The small number of windows intact showed that the Germans had made a deliberate as- sgauit upon the residents of the town. “Rut the inhabitants themselves ad- mitted that all of, the shooting had been done by a comparatively small number of Germans, and tliat the firing had not been begun until English soldiers, who had concealed themselves :n the houses, had fired first up».a the Germans. “tT have emphasized the one fatality of the noncombatant, because the news ‘of it traveled up and down the Sambro, and across to Hantes-Wiberie and Solre- © geste mult.niying as it went until unanzwerable reproach to empire.

Buissiere Virtgally Destroyed. “Buissiere—particularly the lower part of the city—had been virtuaily destroyed by a cross-fire froin French and German artillery. Tops of breweries had bee. hurled bodily to the ground and walls had either disappeared or become gro- tesquely dislodgel. The whole city lay in smoking ruins, with only its draw- bridge across the Sambre and a few marbie stations and boathouses towering above the debris. But here, two days after the battle, women and children were moviig comfortably about the town and not a single complaint was uttered ayait.st German conduct. “The town of Solre-Sur-Sambre is a small village about five miies south of Buissiere, and is iinportant, not as a battlefield, but as 9 center about which ‘he French end German conflict waged steadily for two cays, Aug. 20-24, the french line, aficr making sporadic stands, being forced back steadily over the French border until the movement became a flight. “Into this town 130 French killed and more than a hundred wounded were brought in a single day. Auguste Blari- aux, Burgomaster, said that he know of no cases of German cruelties, save dis- tant rumors, which he had learned to discredit. It ought to be said to the credit of the Belgians that they have not allowed their bitterness toward the Germans to carry them into unfair re- crimination. “Robert J. Thompson, American Con- sul at Aachen, visited Liege during and after the capture of the forts. It is the opinion of Mr. Thompson that no out- rage was committed by Germans dur- ing the several days’ fighting there. “There are, of course, reported out- rages beyond investigation either on ac- count of the vagueness or because it is impossible to weigh the provocation. It is known, for instance, that 112 na- tives were killed in Renouchamp, not far from Ardennes: German soldiers say that they were killed because they fired upon them from the roofs and windows of the houses. “The history of the absolute destruc- tion of the historic city of Louvain with its cathedral and its university, is by this time well known. The German ver- sion of this is that the inhabitants un- der the direction of the Burgomaster, established themselves in the church, where they also installed a machine gun. They proceeded to greet the Ger- mans with a deadly fire. Generally Credited Explanation. “The Belgians say, on the other hand, that part of the German army, mistak- ing one of their own retiring divisions for the enemy, opened fire upon them, whereupon, deluded into thinking an assault by Belgian civilians, the Ger- mans razed the whole city. “IT have not been able to acquire any direct evidence in regard to these last two instances, but the explanation gen- erally credited by disinterested persons, is that the Belgians who had laid down their arms, according to the Burgormas- ter’s preclamation on the entrance of the enemy, took them up again, when it looked as if the Germans were re- treating from the town, and opened fire from their windows upon a retiring German train. “The most authoritative German de- nial of German offenses comes from Major-General Thaddeus von Jarotzgsky, Military Governor of Brussels, who in- formed me that in numerous cases, he had been received with a pretense of friendliness by Belgian civilians, whe later fired upon the German soldiers from windows and from between the roof tiles. This was done, he said, after a declaration of surrender vy the Bur- gomaster and a proclamation warning the citizens against any show of re- sistance. ‘In such violations of the rules of war, the General said, he punished the offender by burning the houses from which the shots were fired, “This explanation of the burning of villages is given with such perfect una- nimity by all German officers and men that to go into separate instances is unnecessary. It seems to serve as @ sert of blanket extenuation for all Ger- nan severities. I can only say that in every case of reported outrage or re- prisal which was susceptible of investi- xation I have found either that the out- rage was a figment of the Belgian mind Or that it was more than half excused by circumstances. Actual Kunowledge of Sniping. “I have actual knowledge of the snip- ing by Belgian citizens at Manage and other towns and even the Belgians ad- mit that in a few instances they have ibeen guilty of this. This furnishes a T East Indian Lancers, Said to Have Reached France piovocation for the only German sever- ity which I have had an opportunity to observe—the burning of houses. “A Belgian fugitive from a suburb of Charleroi brought to Nivelle a story of the Germans marching the priest and several of the inhabitants before the army as a protection against fire from the houses. This has received ample verification, but hardly Comes. under the heading of atrocities. “The prevalence of the Belgian prac- tice of sniping from the houses wa: perhaps indicated by the warning of th» German officer who acted as guard for five American correspondents, includ- ing myself, who were being taken as prisoners from Beaumont to Aachen in an army train. We were advised to lie down on the floor of the car, as the Belgian snipers would shoot us from the houses. But there was no firing. “This; of course, is not a brief for German army: it is an account of Ger- man conduct as it appeared to an im- partial observer who had the rather ex traordinary opportunity of traveling for days with the German columns over a distance of more than. 100 miles, through a dozen important cities and towns. Waate the Inevitable Footprint. front to see the white artillery smoke} spurt into clouds along the horizon and hear the double detonations., which came from artillery at short range. A other times I trailed behind througi the desolate waste which a vigorous army leaves behind it. But the waste was the inevitable footprint of war, marking the most utter dreariness, misery and despair, but not with a hint of savagery, of wanton butchery or of excess. 3 “On the contrary, | witnessed nu- merous cases of the most careful cour- tesy on the part of the German diers. In Brussels they not only paid their cafe bills, but tipped generously. Along the road when a German officer or soldier entered a Belgian house for food or shelter, it mand, but a request. In spite of the confusion and errors which arose from a strange tongue, there was almost no friction of any sort. “The German soldiers were puncti!- iously considerate and polite to women and children, apologizing for the dis- comfort they were causing. Upon leav- ing a house where they have been giv- en shelter, I have seen them shake hands with the concierge, peasant wom- an or, in some cases, with the gentle- woman of the Belgian villa. as pleas- antly as if ‘they were bidding adieu to the hostess at a week-end house party. hand that a recital of them would be tedious. I have seen German soldiers helping Belgian women with their house- work and playing with the children. “Naturally inclined to be gruff with their soldiers, the German officers al- ways turned to the French prisoners with every consideration. Not a single! exception to this civility towards pris- oners has come to my attention. Went Hungry to Feed Prisoners. “A French lieutenant and two English officers traveled with us in the prison train from Beaumont to Aachen, & halting journey which took over 3% hours. The train was crowded with glish prisoners, and there was nothing to eat or drink except a few fragments of rye bread, hard as a stone, and a little liquid compound of chicory, in Belgium masquerades under the name of coffee. Since there was not enough of this to go round, German might be fed “Between Chateau de Casteau and Lobbes, a particularly desolated neigh- horhood, whence inhabitants had fled one and all, the Germans found a hun- gry canary in an abandoned farmhouse. Without having experienced the genu- ine, almost womanly tenderness of the (;erman soldiers, one would have calle: their feeding of the canary an affecta- tion—or, at best, a passing whim—but it was typical. ‘In a little cafe in Beaumont, con- cierge and madame had fled before the approach of the soldiers ani abandoned their business. Twvo officers found them in hiding, brought them back, and in a day they ‘had: ‘taken in more money than in any previcus week in their ca- reer. “These incidents could be indefiniteiy prolonged but they would only offer additional support to a point that i think I have already established—the universal kindlineas of German soldiers as I have observed them. “T have seen perhaps half a dozen ceases of drunkenness in observing nearly “Sometimes I was near enough to the! ‘ally alone are responsible. sol-} was not with a de-'! “So many instances of this sort are ar| the} | taux, ' i | > | } | | German wounded and French and En- | English spies. | which | | office rs. i went without food so that the prisoners | | HANOTAUX, PEACE VOGATE, URGES | Says Disarmament Can Come Only Atter Unrelenting, Decisive Conflict. | been i tather than | timely 'culable price igering petty \toward me and showed me the sharp ' became Press Pub. €o.} 1;.—‘We must not (Jabriel Hano Academ\ ‘Copyright. 1914, by BORDEAUX, Sent. flatter ourselves.’ said meniber of the French and famous peace advocate. opinion that this will not be a long war We don't know.

Turcos After Germans. Outside of Chaudun, the road was ‘blocked with the Algerians in light \tine Zouave uniforms, and native Turcos from Morocco, in khaki. They shivered in the autumn sunshine, and were Wrapped in burnooses of black and white.

The: had just driven the German rear guaré out of Chaudun, and said the fighting was still going on at Soissons. But the only signs I saw of it were two Turcos who had followed the Germans too far. They lay sprawling in the road. an‘ had so lately fallen that their rifles still lay under them. Three miles further I came upon the advance line of the French army, and for the remainder of the day I watched a most remarkable artillery duel,.which ended with Soissons in the hands of the allies. Soissens is a pretty town of 4000 inhabitants. It is chieflv known fo” its haricots verts (French beans), ani since the Romans held it under Caesar, it has been continuously besieged. Unt!: today the Germans had held it for two weeks. In 1870 they bombarded it for four days, and there is or was in the Place de la Republique, a monument to those citizens of Soissons, whom, after that siege, the Germans shot. Germans Withdraw. lies in the valley which is formed running south and-° north the Germans occupied the hills to the south, but when attacker cffered only slight resistance and with- drew to the hills opposite. In Soissons they left a rear guard to protect their supplies, who were destroying ail bridges leading into the town. At the time I arrived, a force of Turcos had been ordered forward to clean Soissons of the Germans, and the French artillery was endeavoring to dis- close their positions on the hills. The loss of the bridges did eni- barrass the black men. In rowboats they crossed to Soissons and were warmly greeted. This morning Soissons was drawing no color line. The Turcos were followed by engi- neers, who endeavored to repair one bridge, and in consequence were heavily shelled with shrapnel, while, with intent to destroy the road and retard the French advance, the hills where the French had halted were being pounded by German siege guns. This was at a point nearly three miles from Chaudun hetween the villages of Breil and Cour- telles. From this height it could see almost to Comptlegne, and 30 miles in front in the direction of St. Quentin. Shells Over Steeples.

The wind was blow- ing 40 knots, which prevented the use of the French aeroplanes, but it cleared the air and, helped by brilliant sunshine, ii was possible to follow the smoke of the battle for 15 miles. The wind was blowing toward our right. where the English were, and though we could see the flash of their guns and the rings of smoke as their shrapnel burst, the report of the guns did not reach us. I[t gave the curious impression of a bombardment conducted in utter silence. From our left the wind carried the sounds clearly.

Co.) LONDON, Sept. 17.—A new White Paper published today makes tlie charges that Austria was prepared to settle the dispute with Servia by media- tion when Germany declared war on Russia and then on France. In a long dispatch dated Sept. 1, to Sir Ecward Grey, the Foreign Secretary, Sir Maurice de Bunsen, British Ambassador ac Vienna, states that on Aug. 1 Russia and Austria had almost arrived at an egreement, Austria consenting ‘to sub- mit to mediation a point in the note to Servia which seemed incompatible wirtr. the maintenance of Servian independ- ence. ‘Russia accepted the proposition, on the condition that Austria would refrain from an actual invasion of Servia Count Schebeko, the Russian Ambassa- cor,’’ Sir Maurice declares, ‘“‘was work- ing hard for peace to the end. Conciliatory Language Unsed. Hie was holding out most conciliatorv lauguage to Count Berchtold, the Aus- trian Foreign Minister, and he was in- formed that the latter, as well as Count l‘orgach, had responded in the same spirit. “Certainly, it was too much for Rus- sia to expect that Austria would hold Lack her armies, but this matter coula probably have been settled by negotia- tion, and Count Schebeko repeatedi; said he was prepared to accept any rea- sonable compromise. Austria, in fact, had freely yielded, and that she herself had at this point good hopes of a peace ful issue is shown by a communicatioi made to vou (Sir Edward Grey) on the first day of August by Count Mensdorf?f Austrian Ambassador at London, that Austria had neither banged the door on compromise nor cut off the conversa- tions. “Unfortunately, these conversations at St. Petersburg and Vienna were cut short by the transfer of the dispute to the more dangerous ground of a direct conflict between Germany and Russia. “Germany intervened on July 31 by means of her double ultimatums to St. Petersburg and Paris. These ultima- tums were of a kind to which only one answer is possible and Germany de- clared war on Russia on Aug. 1 and on France on Aug. 2. “A few days’ delay might in all prob- ability have saved Europe from one of the greatest calamities in history.” “Russia Left in the Dark.” Dealing with the beginning of the trou- ble. the Austrian note to Servia, Sir Maurice states that the French Ambas- sador was under the impression that the note would contain nothing with which a self-respecting state need hesi- tate to comply. So little was the Rus- sian Ambassador made aware of what was preparing that he actually left Vi- enna on leave for a fornight about July 3%. The Italian Ambassador was alsc left completely in the dark. “As for myself,” continues Maurice, ‘‘no indication was- given by Count Berchtold of the storm and it was from a private source that I received a forecast of what was about to happen. “On July 24 the note was published in newspapers by common consent. It was at once styled an ultimatum. Its inte- gral acceptance by Servia was neither expected nor desired, and when on the following afternoon it was first rumored in Vienna that it had been uncondition- ally accepted there was’a moment 7% keen disappointment. The mistake wav quickly corrected and as soon as it war known later in the evening that the Servian reply had been rejected andj that Baron Giesel had broken off rela- tions at Belgrade, Vienna burst into a frenzy of delight, vast crowds parading the streets and singing patriotic songs till the small hours of morning. “Now the floodgates opened and the entire people and press clamored impa- tiently for the immediate punishment of the hated Servian race. The country certainly believed that it had before it only the alternative of subduing Servia or of submitting sooner or later to mutilation at her hands. But a peaceful solution could have been attempted. A Special Sir ms: trayed. But their practice was at fault, and the shells fell only on either side. When they struck, they burst with a roar. casting up black fumes and dix- ging a grave 20 yards in circumference. But the French soldiers disregarded them entirely. In the trenches, which the Germans had made and abandoned, they hid from the wind and slept peacefully. Others slept in the lee of the haystacks, their red breeches and blue coats making wonderful splashes of color against the yellow grain. For seven days they have been fighting without pause, and battles bore them. Late in the afternoon. all along the 15 miles of battle, firing ceased. For the Germans were falling back upon Laon, and once more Soissons, freed of thern as, 1500 years ago, she had freed herself of the Romans, held out her arms to the allies. impending | DIARY TELLS OF VARYING TIDE OF BATTLE OF MARNE Calm and Joy Prevailed Sept. {3, Citizen of Crepy-en- Valois Writes. PARIS, Sept. 17.—The following ex- tracts from the diary of a citizen Crepy-En-Valois, published today in the Petit Parisien, gives a graphic resume of the varying fortunes of the battle of the Marne: “Aug. 30: 10,000 men. “Aug. 31: Arrival of French wounded. ‘“Bept. 1: Cannonading patrol of uh- lans arrives and Taube (German type of aeroplane) throws a bomb.

Calm and general joy prevail.” few seemed to reflect that forcible in- tervention of a great Power in the Balkans must call other great Powers into theo field. ‘ Germany Didna’t Fear Russia. “The conviction had been expressed to me by the German Ambassador on July 24 that Russta would stand aside. This teeling influenced, no doubt, the course of events, and it is deplorable that no effort should have been made by means of diplomatic —- negotiations, with acquiescence of Russia and Europe as a whole, for some peaceful compro- mise of the Servian question by which Austrisen fears of Servian aggression and intrigue might have been revealed for the future. ‘Instead of adopting this course, the Austro-Hungarian Government resolved upon war. The inevitable consequence ensue. Russia replied to a partial Austrian mobilization and the declara- tion of war against Servia by a partial Russian mobilization against Austria. Austria met this move by completing her own mobilization and Russia again re- sponded.’ Sir Maurice saw Count July 28 and urged that the scheme of mediation mentioned tn Sir Edward }rey’s speech in the House of Commons should be accepted as offering an hon- orable and peaceful settlement. Count Berchtold said matters had gone too far. Austria Was that day de- claring war On Servia. Hie exceliency, said he, too, was keeping the European aspect of the question in sight. He thought, however, that Russia would have no right to intervene after re- ceiving his assurance that Austria sought no territorial aggrandizement. “Tchirsky abstained from inviting my co-operation,” Sir Maurice continued. “or that of the French and Russian Am- bassador in carrying out his instruction in the interest of peace, and | have no means of knowing what response he was receiving from Austro-Hungary.

From then onward the tension between Russia and Germany was much greater than between Russte and Austria and the rupture finally came when Germany declared war.” Berchtold on llized The Post-Dispatch ts the only eventing new neu s- paper in Bt.

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. The above remark was particularly gratifying because it was a spontaneous expression of en- thusiasm straight from the mouth of a news- paper woman, who had just finished making an accurate study of the new Fall modes as pre- sented by the various St. Louis stores. How delighted we would be if every woman would make as thorough study of the style situa- tion in this city. There could be but one logical finding, and in substance, it would be: —That this store is again supreme in the matter of fashions. —That here the largest stocks are certainly shown. —That this store shows a greater variety at every price than elsewhere. —That each one of the individual stocks of Ready-to-wear is all-comprehensive im _ the possibility for selection of styles, etc. In fact, the result can best be told by repeating the re- mark of the newspaper woman: “It’s the Same Old Story--Your Store Is So Far Ahead With Its New Fashions’”’ And there are good reasons why this store should lead in the matter of fashions. One of these is, that here a closer and a more scientific study of the fashion world is indulged in. : The study of fashions is a specialty which is in the hands of experts. The New Fall Dresses of serge and It Is With Pleasure That We Call Your Attention to What We Believe fo Be a Quite Wonderful Assoriment, Offering A Wide Style Variety At a Number of Prices up to $45. at $14.75-— There are a large number of new styles in Serge Dresses. One of these Dresses is pictured. We Have Also Pictured Styles at $22.50 and at $27.50. In fact, the collection as a whole is so interesting and so unusual from a value-giving standpoint that we have found it difficult to select a group at any one price to feature. “It’s the Same Old Story--Y our Store Is So Far Ahead With It w= do not remember when garments of any one material have enjoyed such popular demand as — Weather: Partly cloudy and tomorrow, cooler tonight. tonight slightly F riday—in Restaurant Sea Food Dinner, 50c Blue Points on Half Shell.

A German officer was killed by the Belgian soldiers during the fight and subsequently buried at the request of the Belgian officer in command. None of the civilians had taken part in the fight; nevertheless, the village was invaded at dusk, on Aug. 10, by a strong force of German cavalry, ar- tilery and machine guns. “Peasants Killed in Ditch.” “In spite of the formal assurances given by the Burgomaster that none of the civilians had taken part in the fight, two farms and six outlying houses were destroyed by gun fire and reduced to ashes. All the male popula- tion was then compelled to come for- wara and hand over whatever arms they possessed. No recently discharged firearms were found. Nevertheless, the pursuers divided these peasants into three groups. Those in one group were bound and 11 of them placed in a ditch where they afterwards were found - dead, their skulls fractured by the butts of rifles. “During the night of Aug. 10 German cavalry entered Velm in great numbers. The inhabitants were asleep. Without provocation the Germans fired on Mr. Deglinme’s house and broke into it. They destroyed furniture and looted valuables. They burned his barn, hay, corn stacks, implements, cattle and his farm yard. They carried off Mme. Deg- limme half naked to a place two miles away. She was then released, and as she fled, was fired upon, without being hit, however. Her husband was carried to a point in another direction and fired OF Haas - New W.

He was murdered by German in- _fantry firing their revolvers into his mouth. ‘ ‘‘Numerous woundédé and unarmed sol- diers were ill treated or killed by Ger- man troops, and jn different places doc tors and nurses and ambulances were fired upon. “At times the Germans went into the battle with a Belgian flag. “While digging trenches and with the _ white flag hoisted, Belgian soldiers were _ get upon by Germans and shot. “Another time, near a fort at Loncin, a group of German infantry hoisted the - white flag, and when the Belgian sol- diers approached them to take them prisoners they were fired upon at close range “Aerschot, a town of 8000 inhabitants, Was invested by the Germans on the morning of Aug. 19. No Belgian troops _Yemained behind. No sooner had the . | Germans entered the city when they be- | gan by shooting several inoffensive ci- _ villians. ' “In the evening, claiming that a su- ' perior German officer had been shot by the son of the Burgomaster, or, accord- ing to another version of their atory, that a conspiracy had been hatched against the German commandant by the Burgomaster and his family, the ' Germans took hold of every man in the } elty, carrying them, fifty at a _ time, ; within some distance of the town. : “Massacre at Aerschot.” “There they grouped them in lines of four men, made them run ahead of them and fired upon them, Killing them afterward with their bayonets. More than 40 men were found thus mas- sacred. “They pillaged the whole town, tak- ing from private residences all they could lay their hands on. The follow- ing morning they took one man out of every three, whom they had arrested the previous evening, and, leading them outside ‘tthe city, shot them. Among hese were the Burgomi’ster of the town, Mr. Thielmans, his 15-year-old son and his brother. Then they compelled the remaining villagers to dig holes to bury their vic- tims. “For three whole days they continued to pillage and set fire to everything in their way. “About 150 inhabitants of Aerschot are supposed to have thus perished. “The largest part of the city is de- stroyed. Five times the Germans tried te set fire to the big church, having g@acked the interior. The town records were destroyed or carried off. “It must be borne in mind that the tien of Aerschot had been New Sorosis Shoes for Fall in the Best Lasts and Leathers We are ready for the Fall and Winter season with the most complete assortment of Sorosis Shoes that we have ever had.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH a ee ee UTTON MEN AND BUY-A-BALE BOARD GUNFER ON BUYING Arrange to Make Purchases From Now on Fast as Orders Come. The Buy-a-Bale of Cotton Committee held a conference in the Business Men's League offices this morning with sev- eral cotton men to discuss means of furthering the purchase of cotton for storage until market cofiditions become normal. The committee is working out the de- tails of the plan to buy and store ag much cotton as the people are willing to buy at $50 a bale. The object of the purchase of cotton is to relieve condi- tions in the South resulting from the European war. The Buy-a-Bale Committee is sending letters to a@ great number of St. Louis- ans who, in the judgment of the com- mittee, are able to buy a bale. urgins them to do so. A telegram has been received from J. O. Phillips, one of the five St. Louis salesmen who started the movement, in which he says that the price of cotton in Texas had advanced 2 cents a pound as a result of the efforts being made here. A telegram has been received from Montgomery, Ward & Co. of Chicago, informing the committee that the firm is planning to purchase 10,000 bales from its customers in the South. Murray Carleton, George W. Simmons and A. L. Shapleigh were named as the purchasing committee. They were in- structed to buy immediately 1000 bales of cotton. The rules adopted provide that the cotton must be purchased in St. Louis trade territory; by State and not by lo- calities, Within the discretion of the mmittee, where the purchaser so re- auests, when 100 or more bales are or- dered, the purchase may be made in a particular locality. All cotton is to be purchased direct from the producer, and in no instance from speculators. A draft of 3550 was received from the Fort Dearborn National Bank of Chl- bank officers, J. Fletcher Farrell, Wil- liam . They sail the ceremony would be performed by the Rev. Father John R. Spencer at New Cathedral Parish, who performed the first ceremony when they eloped in October, 1911. After the elopement the bride’s mother locked her in a third-floor room at the Jordan residence and refused to permit her to talk with ner husband. Later the bride and Stoegerer lived in boarding houses and she was disinherited. The Jorduns objected to Stoegerer bécause he didn’t have a job. At the parish house today it was said Father Spencer was out of town and that the couple had not appeared there to be married. At the Jordan home a maid said the family was away for the day, but that Miss Jordan had lived at san Diego, Cal., a ¥ear and had not been home in that time. Busy Bee Candy Bargain Friday.

IS YOUR HAIR RIGHT FOR THE NEW FALL STYLES—By Lois You will delight in srranging your hair in the new and interesting modes of this season if you are among those who keep their hair ang y soft and appearing naturally heavy by use of a shampoo that makes it ¥ fluffy. Do not take chances wit some makeshift or unknown mix- tures. I have tried many in search of the best, cheapest and easiest te use and finally have decided to al- ways use canthrox, which is made for shampooing only and is so beau- tifving in its effect upon the hair. [ get it at any good drug store and one package lasts so long that it is the most economical shampoo I éas get and my first trial convinéed me that it was the most easily uged. In clearing the scalp and heir of all dandruff, dirt and excess oil, ite delie cately perfumed lather gently per- meates to the hair roots and not only oil accumulations so they are ftinsed out, instead of being rubbed and scoured out, as with soap and #9 many cheap washes. My hair ig now so fluffy that it seems much heavier than it is naturally.—ADV. How Is Your Weight?

Joe White, the section foreman, testified that the gravel ballast was worn, but that he considered the track in good condition. He said the Frisco had supplied him materfal for all repairs he considered necessary. Questions were asked aimed to show the effect of worn ballast might have been that the heavy rain washed out sufficient ballast to enable the rain to eat into the dirt embank- ment from the top, and that the greater part of the embankment might have been cut away when the train and traci. slipped off the cot. G. E. Starbird and J. E. Jones, exami- ners for the Interstate Riise Com- mission, and Harry 8S. Brown, Prosecut- Ing Attorney of Laclede County, sat with Wightman to consider the evi- dence. The examiners will report the details of the wreck to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Wightman re- quested Prosecuting Attorney Brown to consider the evidence that he might have all information in the event any crminal negligence was shown. James A. Laughlin. of 3921 Botanical avenue, St. .Louls, conductor on the wrecked train, testified the weather was clear when the train departed from St. Louis and that the first rain encount- ered was at Cuba, 87 miles west of St. Louis. The rain was light, he said, from Cuba to Lebanon. When the train was wrecked the pas- sengers in the chair car became panic- stricken and Laughlin attempted to quiet them. Wall of Water Rushes into Car. As the car settled into the ditch, he said, a well of water five or six feet deep rushed into the car. He described the rescue of passengers, saying that many climbed through windows and 22 took refuge on the top side of the car, from which they later were rescued. Laughlin said he had been running a train over the track at the place of the accident for 14 veers and never before had seen water of a greater depth than three feet at the place of the accideni, and that there never had heen any pre- vious trouble at that place. Jan.es O’Brien of Springfield, engineer on the wrecked train, testified he never before had seen any volu:ne of water at the place. When he left Lebanon he said there waa no indication of heavy rain. After the train had gone more than a mile, he sa‘d, a heavy ratn be- gan falling. He testified the train was running 45 miles ai hour, the maximum speed for the section of track being (0 miles an hour. Wh.éen the train rounded a eurve, he said, he saw an unusual amount of water on both sides of the track. The water was not running over the track, he declared, and the ties and rails were visible. He said he put on emergency brakes when he saw the water and had brovght the train virtual- lv to a stop when the train toppled with the weakened roadied mto the water. O’Brien said ther: had been no occu- sion to think of any danger from the rain and that when he put en the emer- gency brakes he -lid so as a precaution- “ry Measure and that at that time he had no idea but that the train woul: pass the water in safety. O’Brien said he ; assed eastbound train [ Xo. § at Stoutland, 13 :niles east of Lebanon, and did not report any passed Goodwin wreck occurred, fore the “Texas Liiiited said he was satisfied that if the crew of No. & had encountered water danger it would have reported tne fact to him. Charles l.. Rhoades, engineer of No. &, testified he first encountered hard ratn seven miles west of Goodwin Hollow. He passed the place where the wreck later occurred at 1:08 a. m., he said, and there was no indication of high water No Slow Orders Issued. The wreck was al 2:55 a. m.. an hour and # minutes later. He said ther» were no slow omiers issued to him Dbe- cause of the rain. He said that even :f slow orders had been issued he would not have thovght tnere woi:!d be trouble at that point, as he had never seen hign water there. There had been no rain t'p io the time the train was nearing Leb- anon. General Manager Levy by questioning Rhoades, brought on: at the usual speed at the place of the 50 miles an hour, and thai ‘the track was in condition to stand that ‘speed. O’Brien, recalled by Levy, said ithat the automatiz: block s'gnal showed clear track and > danger at the place of the wreck, which, he said, proved that the rails were not washed out. A break in a rail, he said, would cause a danger signal to show. Justice H. Shumake of Springfield, chief dispatche;: on the night of the wreck, said that no information had been received of heavy rains or soft track west of Lebanon. Joe White, section foreman. testified ‘hat when the heavy rain began he started out to inspect the track froin his home at Brush Creek, two miles west of the place where the wreck oc- curred. He said there never had been any trouble there and that he did not ro toward that place, but went weat from his home. He said the rain was so heavy that he could not face it steadily, but was compelled frequently said the track NO. 8 the water trouble. Hollow. where more than an hour be- ’ yot there.

Much that you spend for necessities— as well as luxuries—is saved by somebody else. q You may consider the nickels, dimes and quarters that you spend, with only a passing thoug4t, too insignificant to save. Yet you will observe that hundreds of people around you are eager to get those small sums of yours.

Farmers did not have to go to Clayton to collect in- terest on mortgage notes from Stevens. Without a thought as to security of the principal, they believed everything was all right because Stevens mailed them checks for interest on the day it was due. 244 In Carondelet Townsbip alone °4 investors intrusted a total of $152,550 to Stevens, ‘‘the man who paid the interest.’’ To discontinue certain lines of high-grade goods, we will place on sale Friday and Saturday 1000 PAIRS OF SHOES for Men and Women AT $1.85 AND $2.85 Some of these shoes aro marked $6.50, others at $4, $4.50, $5 and $5.50.

His system of operating was a sort of endless chain. When the term of a mortgage expired and the investor asked for the return of his principal, Stevens would induce him to reinvest the principal in another mortgage. Farmers Needed Money. “Stevens would say: ‘You may have your money if you want it but I have another deed which I think you will find it to your advantage to buy, so that your money won't lie idle while you are looking for another investment.’ The client usually toox the new deed with- out question. “The crop shortage in the last two years caused many St. Louis County farmers to need ready money. They de- manded cash when mortgages in which they had invested came due. In some cases they asked Stevens to find pur- chasers for mortgages which they held and which had not expired. Stevens’ ap- parent inability or unwillingness to meet the demands for cash and his slowness in finding a market for the unexpired mortgages caused the first suspicion that something was wrong. I and others in Carondelet Township went to Clayton *o investigate the records and we found we had been holding worthless paper.” Prompt Interest Payments. According to Kerth and others who in- vested their money with him, Stevens easily outstripped other St. Louis Coun- ty real estate dealers in placing mort- sage loans, because of the promptness with which he always made interest payments on the notes. When dealing with other St. Louis County real estate firms the farmers would have to drive into Clayton on interest days and lose valuable time collecting the interest and waiting until the proper credits and re- newals had been made. There was no such red tape about Stevens’ way of doing busineas. On the day the interest was due the farmer would receive a check for it by mail. . ‘ew days later Stevens would drive up ‘0 the farmer's home in his automobile und take up the note. Many farmers liked this system and the promptness with which he paid interest added great- ly to Stevens’ prestige. Service to Investors. Convenience to the investors was th keynote of Stevens’ method. They didn't have to go to him. He went to them. te boasted publicly that he had covered more miles in an automobile than any- one in St. Louis County. When he went in quest of investors he carried mort- {gage deeds and promissory notes in his pocket. To save themselves the trouble of a trip to Clayton or to Inspect mortgaged rroperty investors took Stevens’ word for everything. Sentiment also had much to do with easing the way for Stevens’ operations. every other community St. Louis More Than Likely You’re Mistaken About, THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN Every week—and this week in particular—it containsfacts and information that are of .as much practical value to St. Louis men and women as to the farmers “up-State.” Men and Women of St. Louis, Consider This Week’s Issue EGGS THAT COME IN CANS—tells what is being done right in your own state of Missouri in developing the cae can- ning business, and-.shows how the housewife can buy absolutely pure and fresh eggs in cans.

To the Pditor of the Post-Dispatch. In this great rushing age of competency, when the world’s creed is the survival of the fittest, Is there not some place, some little notch, wherein may be sheltered one of the unfit? I am a&@ young man, age 27 hut a dependent. Since childhood I have been imprisoned tn a wheel ohair; in 20 years my feet have not borne my wight. I have managed to secure a fair education, theugh not the tenth of what I would wish, be- cause I have read much and have the ability to learn quickly. But of what use is ft to me if ft can find no way in which I can turn it {nto the terribly necessary dollars and cents of the com- mercial world? One cannot live on masterful writing and beautiful poems. For 27 years I have lived from the toil of a noble mother who has grown gray and broken in the never-ending en- deavor to earn money enough to keep the wolf from the door—and he is a persistent fellow, that sleepless wolf; many, many times has his sharp sniffing nose edged its way through the erack in the door, but mother has always man- aged to force him back—a little ways. “Hope springs veternal in the human breast,” and it has been upon hope that I have lived these lest 10 years. Hope that the time would come when T could begin to repay,in part, allthese years of patient toil and sacrifice. “Surely,” I thought, “somewhere in this great old world there is a place for me. But Pope was wrong. Even “hope” is not eternal for it is dying within me. _ It seems. that I am not to have my chance. Perhaps some of the many Post-Dispatch read- ers can suggest another way out besides the grim dark way that seems inevitable. Do not misun- derstand me, please. I do not ask charity. I will have none of it. I will no longer be a dependent. If I cannot be independent and live I am, at least, independent of life. Life is good—very good. I do not like to think of losing it, but I do not fear, and when the time comes my finger will not tremble nor my hand falter in the simple act that will give me my release. ‘Every man must live by the sweat of his own brow,” and unless I can find something that I can do to earn my own livs- lihood I must make my exit. There is no bright spot in the future of those of us who must con- tinually feel that the least of our needs can be supplied only by the sacrificing of some necessity on the part of those whom we love. If anyone can suggest a way, however menial, so long as it be neither dishonest nor begging, it will be eagerly seized upon. If there is work in the world for me I must find it soon for my de- cision is reached. I have declared my indepen- dence; and who can blame me? “Why, if the soul can fling the dust aside, “And naked on the air of Heaven ride, “Wer’t not a shame—were’t not a shame for him “In this clay carcass crippled to abide?’ A DISCOURAGED UNFIT. **Will’’ and **Shall.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

ANONYMOUS, R. R. Wrecks and Heavy Rains. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ~ The recent wreck on the Frisco gets one to thinking! Especially a traveling man. with many nights on the rail. While some accidents: seem finavoidable, this one, and many similar, could have been prevented, if, on heavy rainy nights, the track was patrolled. Your account relates “O’Brien (engineer) had encountered bad tracks, @ue to washouts, at a number of places along ,the line, and was only running about 15 miles an hour, although the train is scheduled to make 37 miles an hour, tncluding stops.” Now, my indictment is, the train dispatcher knew all this, and even if no regular night oa- trol, he should have section men out as emer- @ency to see to weak bridges, waterspout or not, as the heavy rain that night began not later than 11, and they had fair warning. There should be compulsory patrol of railways all hours of night. rain or shine, with criminal prosecution of oper- ating officers if not enforced. There are too many lives at stake, which a moderate expenditure would save. Such an accident as this will cost the Frisco,.27 dead at $5000 is $135,000, not to Miention the 18 injured, who will have recourse. SALESMAN. Cee aed fe Two Stateswien’s Ideas.

They are embalmed in the mem- | reader * : teatime DE 80 0 IO EI LEC OE, ORES | CRIPPLING OUR LUMBER TRADE. A statement of facta made by the St. Louis Lumberman relative to an increase in the freight on forest products put in effect by Southwestern | railroads ving their headquarters in this city is 80 Ccompléte as to leave little to be added. The merits of this case are not involved in the general increase authorised for roads in the central traffic district. Briefly, the rate from Southern mills to St. Louis has been increased by 20 cents a ton without any increase in the through rate to Chicago or to competitive points off the lines of the roads. The discrimination against St. Louis is the fact emphasized by the Lumber- man in vigorous language. ‘On a car of lumber that will be unloaded here, the rate is $4 a ton. But on a car that will pass through here, destined for a competing city, the rate to St. Louis is only $3.80 a ton. The charge is unjust enough in the case of local wood-working factories which have to pay the discriminating rate for the raw material they advance in manufacture. Comment is not needed to show its greater injustice on re-shipping yards which sell forest products to outside points in the same shape in which they are received. Why should roads which are largely owned here and are managed from here place such an out- rageous handicap on the town in which they have large interests and with whose advancement their own welfare is so intimately associated? The whole thing backs up to an oppressive condition which has been in existence for many years and which more than anything else explains St. Louis’ slow progress—an oppressive condition {mposed by local railroads, which have always looked on St. Louis’ rivals as communities to be encouraged in all possible ways, but on St. Louts itself only as a community to be milked. For this discrimination is a reappearance in new form of the terminal “arbitrary.” It is explained as due to the fact that lumber destined for this city has to pay a 25-cents-a-ton terminal charge, which lumber destined for_places beyond does not pay. The Lumberman, brushing away all the old, worn-out sophistries by which this ancient imposition is defended, says: The 11-2 cents collected in the rate to St. Louis and set aside for the improvement and. value-enhancement of the great property represented in the St. Louis gateway terminal account must be regarded as merely “found money’ and not, for earnings purposes, as any part of the rate. In other words, the theory set up for rate-making and bookkeep- ing is that St. Louts should pay for tts ter- minals on both sides of the river through the operation of a local collection agency, the Terminal Railroad Association. The increased handicaps in these days of slack business, flerce competition and vanish- ing profits are nothing to these St. Louis rail- road men. “Soak ‘em” is apparently the smMb- boleth of St. Louis-headquarters traffic of- ficials, regardiess of justice or of the effect of the act on the continuance of traffic vital to the welfare of their roads. “But what,” adds the Lumberman, “is the use? Who can effectually interpose reason between a greed-fired mania and its object?” It says that a club and the fighting spirit to utilize it are the only things that will bring helpful results. The Post-Dispatch has been using that club for a good many years now. What is the Transporta- tion Committee of the B. M. L. doing? Where is its club? = = * — ww AN IMPROPER MISSILE. A Missouri husband, suing for divorce, alleges that his wife ‘hurled a bust of Abraham Lincoln at her husband’s head,” and, on another occasion, summoned him by telephone to “come home so she could shoot him.” Conceding that in the second count the lady ex- hibited at least a reasonable degree of sporting spirit—that chivalry of the old West which re- quired one, going gunning for an enemy, to send notice to his purposed victim—we find ourselves quite unable to sympathize, regardless of the pos- sible provocatien, with the wife’s taste in missiles, | No wife should ever hurl a bust of Abraham Lincoln at her “‘husband’s head. Such evidence of her lack. of fine sentiment predisposes a jury, or even a Judge, to scrutinize more coldly than otherwise they might her allegations against her odious yokemate. No American husband is worthy to have a bust of Lincoln shattered upon his faithless head. ° If anything of the sort must be done, to main- tain discipline, let a bust of Socrates be used, and the name Xantippe be breathed like a benediction upon the performance. a» bd SOME PEACE OASUALTIES. Some painful incidents of peace were scattered through yesterday’s news: James O'Keefe, 19 years old, a janitor at the Washington University, who lives at 1623 Olive street, was painfully burned last night when a bowl of hot soup spilled on him when he bumped into a man carrying the liquid while wrestling with a fellow roomer. ° * a a Jesse I.

France informs us that no more American Red Cross nurses are needed over there for the present. Oh, very well; there’s plenty for them to do right around here at home. REGISTRATION DAY. The Citizens Bridge Committee’s reminder of registration day is timely. Citizens who do not qualify for voting by registering will be debarred from voting on the bond issue. Every vote will be needed to assure the necessary two-thirds ma- jority of the vote cast. The only day for registration is today. Polling places in the precincts will be open until 10 p. m. The majority for the bonds should be decisive. St. Louis should go on record again as a progres- sive city. = = — = ONE-MAN RULE BY REASON. Charging that President Wilson made war upon Mexico through the abject submission of Congress to his will and that congressional leg- islation is merely the ratification of his plans, the Bostén Traveler declares that the President is as much of an autocrat as the Kaiser. It says: Leaving out of account the question of war, which by its very nature precludes the idea of a plebiscite, there is abundant evidence that our legislative system has broken down and that one-man rule is now prevailing. But Congress has the power to give or with- hold approval of the President’s plans and poli- cles. If it yields to wise counsel and superior judgment it exercises the full power of an inde- pendent representative legislature as much as it would by opposing foolish counsel 4nd bad judg- ment. The Boston Traveler confuses agreement be- tween co-ordinate executive and legislative branches of the government with despotic en- forcement of the executive will. It has not sense enough to distinguish between one-man rule by reason and one-man rule by autocratic decree. Our misguided contemporary need not fear that Congress will not oppose a fool President or a presidential usurper. It must show that Mr. Wilson is either a fool or a knave to make its case. = = i si STEADY PROGRESS IN MEXICO. American troops are ordered back from Vera Cruz. This action is taken (the -Washington Gov- ernment explains), in view of the entire re- moval of the circumstances which were thought to justify the occupation. The fur- ther presence of the troops is deemed unnec- essary. First Ghief Carranza and Gen. Villa have ad- justed their differences of policy. Each has con- ceded something of the other’s position, to end in- ternal warfare and procure fulfillment, in the largest possible measure, of the Mexican people’s desire for liberty, for access to the land and for relief from the oppression of foreign exploiters. Carranza says: The Constitutionalists are working amica- bly together and with the single purpose of establishing permanent. peace and a stable government. All reports as to divisions in our ranks are false. Gen. Villa is working in perfect harmony and genuine loyalty. By reason of his patriotic attitude and his high merits I have just promoted him to the rank of General of Division. The Carranza governments has taken over the Mexican national railways. There is nothing alarming in this. The Mexican nation owns a majority of the stock of the railways. If it is not satisfied with their management, it has a perfect right to assume control and modify the manage- ment. The service is being restored, as rapidly as possible, to the ante-war basis. THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH. Argument rages as to who started the war-- and will be raging years hence. But everybody admits that somebody started it —gome one body; and that is sufficient for our point. No one individual, and no small group of indi- viduals, should have the actual power of life and death over millions of their fellow creatures. That is one of the great lessons which this war a Le. Le _— a a SOISSONS JEAN D’ARO. Mme. Eloise Macherez did more in one day te advance the cause of woman in France, here- tofore an unfruitful soil for suffragists, than the little votes-for-women circle’ in Paris has done in a decade. Mayors in dozens of Northern French towns occupied by the Germans admit- tedly have had a hard time of it. Taxpayers hold them responsible for war levies by the ene- my. Germans hold them as hostages, which is worse, and may mean shooting if things don’t gc right. The Mayor of Soissons is not to be blamed for running away when the Germans came. His Board of Public Welfare and Water Commission- er and all other offiicals did the same. Indeed, we are rather glad he did run away, for it gave| Mme. Macherez her chance. Going out to meet the enemy, she dictated terms to them, instead treated with them so ably they recognized her as exercising all the power of a Mayor. They did not dare to insist on the war indemnity she re- fused. She compelled them to spare the town, tc refrain from pillage and to quit reducing the Thousand Population Club, the town having but about 15,000 now. No wonder she was acclaimed when she visited Paris after Soissons had been delivered out of the hands of the Germans after the retreat. She has forced all Frenchmen to become advocates of The Cause. That was to be expected. But she has done more.

There was & time when men could fight as fast as printers could set type, but they can’t do it now. We wait continually for the war to catch up, and frequently go to press without it This is not as it should be. There should be a fresh battle in every edi- tion, and the opposing hosts should be chasing one another around through the what more stirring than those of peace. doubt due to the general exhaustion. Sverybody is pegged out, and there were troops sitting around in the paper yes- terday as unconcerned for the turn of events as if they were waiting for a boat to come in. The Russians were the only exception. The Russians seem never to tire of those fanciful stories of how they are winning. According to their own reports, the number of Aus- trians they have killed and captured exceeds the population of Austria, so there must be something Wrong about that. The Weather Bird says there are thousands of Austrians back in the pa- per who not only have not been Cap- | tured, but never will be. He dares any- body to find them. However, one cannot help realizing that if war is to continue as inadequate to the newspaper business as it had heen the last three or four days, it is not going to be long before thé newspa- pers are going to condemn war. Once that happens, peace shall become a re- ality, and it will last a long time. Mere- JUST A MINUTE.

It will have to become necessary to the prosperity and well-being of some pow- erful factor in our civilization like the newspaper business, and be suppressed because it no longer serves. That is the whole matter in a nutshell. Anybody could see what is coming yesterday. There was no acttal fighting anywheré in the paper. It smelled of powder, and there Was an occasional smoke cloud. hére and there, but: that was all. The newspapers cannot spare their space for that sort of business.

I reminded Jack of what he said when he first looked at the lot— that “it was large enough for a ga- rage.’ “T guess I was talking through my hat,’’ Jack returned, having forgotten all about mentioning it. “Have you any idea, Sue, what it costs to keep a motor?” Why, if you build your own garage it won't cost much, and we really need a car. I’m ashamed to be con- tinually asked if we keep one or how we can get along without one.’’ “Well, I have talked to a lot of fel- lows who own cars,” Jack argued, “and they all say that it averages them between two and three hundred dollars a month.’’ “Oh, but that’s counting a chauffeur! Of course you would run the car your- self.”’ “How much pleasure would you and the children get out of a car if I did? A ride Saturday afternoons an an- other on Sunday, if it were pleasant. No, Sue, we will wait for a car until we can afford a man to run it and to care for it. I haven‘t time. So until we can afford to spend more than my salary for its upkeep I rather think you will do without.” “But you would like one, you?” I insisted. “Certainly I would. I hate the crowded cars, the pushing and crowding a sub- urbanite has to endure. And I hate it more every time Eberhardt drives me in.

Then you can ride into town, and when I am in shopping or anything we can come out together.

Jack talked with Harry Eberhardt about it that very afternoon, and when he came home he told me that he had a half notion to buy It. “Eberhardt offered it, to me dirt cheap, as you said he would, Sue, and then sai@ I might keep it in his garage until I could build one.”’ ‘That was nice of him,’ I responded. “T hope you will buy it. But, Jack, be sure and build the garage large enough to hold two or three machines. No knowing how many we will keep when you become a millionaire!’’ I joked, yet meaning every word of what I had said. Emelie was now old enough to go to school part of the day, and I put her in an expensive kindergarten. Jack grumbled a little when I told him of the tuition, but I had my way. The chil- dren of all the wealthy residents went to this school, and I wouldn’t listen to sending her elsewhere.

She was to arrive with a lovely fern he had carried all the way from town. ‘Why didn’t you get one out here?’ I asked. ‘‘That was too heavy for you tu carry so far’’—attempting to lift it. “It was such a beauty I couldn’t pass it. Your mother’s ferns are so wonder- ful I wanted to find the best one I could for her.’’ We were all a little excited that evening. We had told the children that “Grandma was coming,”’ and while Eme- lie did not remember her, and Jack Jr. Dog a very “Where are you going?’ asked Mr. Dog. “If you have nothing better to do, Billy Pig, come with me into the woods; I am going a-hunting.”’ “First, we will go to a woodchuck hole I know of,” said Mr. Dog, ‘and see if I can drive him out. Mr. Dog found the hole woodchuck lived and went began to bark. Pretty soon could hear the woodchuck inside, Mr. Dog told him this was the to prove if he was a good hunter.

The last thing before we went to ted Jack and I took a look into ‘moth er’s room.’ Everything was in perfect order, and I thought it looked lovely. “Stay here a minute, Sue!’ and Jack rushed off down the stairs, returning with his arms filled with books and mag- azines, which he arranged on the table to his liking. ‘“‘Now it looks more liv- able!” he remarked, standing a littl« away to see the effect. Then, like a bashful schoolboy, he drew a box from bis pocket and laid it beside them on the table. ‘‘What in the world is that?’ in surprise. “Only a box of peanut candy. Don’t you remember how fond your mother is of it?’’ he asked, blushing. ‘Indeed, I do, and you needn't blush! I think it was perfectly dear of vou to think of it!’’ And I threw appreciative arms around his neck and kissed him. ‘T do wish she would consent to stay with us,’ Jack said, returning my em- brace. ‘‘We always seem nearer togeth er when she is with us. Just getting ready for her has made us better pals than we have been for some time."’ (To be continued.) I asked catch that woodchuck all alone and have the laugh on Mr. Dog.” Billy Pig poked his nose in the hole, but he could see nothing. “I will try the other hole,’ said Billy, ‘that may be larger.”” And so it was, for Mr. Dog had dug away the earth each time he poked in his head, so that Billy Pig found quite an opening at the other door of the woodchuck’s house NDEED, he found room enough for almost the whole of his body and he ‘could see quite well that there was no one at home, but when he tried to get out it was quite another thing. He was stuck fast in the hole and he could neither go or get out. So he squealed and squealed, but no one came, and Billy Pig had about given up all hope of ever getting his head out when some- thing came in at the other end of the hole and Billy Pig got a sharp scratch on his nose and thén another and his face smarted with pain. He squealed and he kicked his hind legs and suddenly he found himself on the ground rolling down the side of the hill, When he got up he saw Mr. Dog com- ing toward him on the run. ‘Where did you go?’ asked Billy Pig. “Were you afraid?’ Then he noticed Mr. Dog’s master standing at the other door of the wood- chuck’s house, where Mr. Dog had sta- tioned him, and the next thing Billy Pig knew—‘‘bang, bang,” went the gun which Mr. Dog's master carried and he saw Mr. Dog dance around in the moat foolish way at his master’s feet. Billy Pig watched Mr. Dog as he trotted away. ‘‘He is not as smart or as brave eas 1 thought he was,’ said Tilly Pig. ‘“‘He had to get his master to catch that woodchuck for him, and i am sure I would have caught him all aione if he had been in his house.

It is a matter of current comment in Clayton that when he started in the real estate business about 2 years ago his sole capital was $100 borrowed from O. P. Ballwin, now the oldest realtv dealer in St. Louis County. As to the amount of the loan, Ballwin today re- fused to confirm this. ‘‘It is true that I] started B. C. Stevens in business,’’ he said. George P. Aff of Affton also was a powerful friend and sponsor of Stevens &t the beginning of his business ca- reer.

Miller and his wife, Lulu Miller, of 2813 Caroline street, filed suit in Clayton today to set aside the con- veyance of two pleces of property by George A. Moss of Brentwood to his sister, Bessie C. Moss. The petition al- leges that Moss was the maker of a $1500 deed of trust which the Millers bought from Stevens. The deed covered two lots in Ferguson, which they al- lege they have found to be worth only $400. Since the deed was made, they allege, Moss has conveyed his property to his sister to escape responsibility for pay- ment on the deed of trust which the Millers hold.

Stevens has been a frequent visitor to the flat. Records at the city hall show that the flat, valued at $7000, is held in the name of B. C. Stevens Jr., a nephew of B. C. Stevens. B. C. Stevens Jr. denies that he is the owner of the property and saves it be- longs to the “Mrs. Stevens’’ who lives there. ‘“‘The property was deeded to me, but she owns it. She has a deed to it,” he said today. Before it became known that B. C., Stevens’ affairs were involved, one of his two automobiles was frequently seen standing in front of the Etzel avenue flat. Since his assignment he has vis- ited the flat several times, but has left his machine in the alley back of it. Efforts were unsuccessful today to see Stevens at his fine home, 5280 Washing- ton boulevard, where he lives with his wife. —_— Busy Bee Candy Bargain Friday. Our 4c Assorted Chocolates, 25c Ib.

By W. J. O’Connor. OHNNY EVDBRS, the best goat- J getter in the National League, is almost entirely responsible for the Cardinals’ defeat, 6—3, yes- terday in Boston. Johnny has acquired the angora of one Zinn Beck, a well regulated young third baseman, and so long as he retains possession of this “nanny” Beck will never be much force in the St. Louis- Boston clash. Evers ‘‘got’’ Beck’s goat in the last Braves series at Robison Field, and Zinn, who, like Polly Perritt, is subject to the ‘‘rattles,’’ has been a big aid to the Braves ever since. It was Beck’s prodigious error that started the Car- dinals wrong yesterday and incidentally the error was committed on a grounder from Evers. With the score tied in the eighth in- ning, Evers grounded to Beck, who ne, heaved the ball into the grand stand. vers made third on the miscue and scored on Connolly’s sacrifice fly with the run which broke the deadlock and virtually decided the battle. Subse- quently a pass to Devore, Schmidt's triple and Smith’s sacrifice fly yielded two more runs, but they merely were excess baggage. Evers’ run won. Evers Nabs Beck’s Angora. In a game at Robison Field during the Braves’ last trip to St. Louis, Evers and Beck had a ‘‘jawing’’ match. Beck, being unaccustomed to Evers’ tactics, so forgot himself that he thought there were three out when only two men were down and started to leave the diamond. From that minute on, Evers had pos- session of Zinn’s angora. The want about Stallings as a manager, but to those who have watched the Braves win on nothing, Evers always has loomed up as the entity that swings the balance of power. Evers is the spark-plug, and likewise the carburetor, crank-shaft, tires, gaso- line and steering wheel of the Boston machine. He leads the fight and the assy of second-string men under Stal- ings’ banner merely follow him. The idea of a cast-off player like George Whitted, normally an inflelder, batting in the clean-up berth for a club that is on the high road-to the pennant, is too much for St. Louis fans to digest. They look for another reason why the Braves are galloping out in front. But they don’t have to look long. Just a glance at second base. Well, He Earns His Salary. When the Braves were here last time, Evers set a record for aggressiveness. He fought the Cardinals, the fans, the umpire and the Braves. He antagonized his own men as much as he did the enemy, but his shafts of sarcasm seem to be just what the doctor ordered for the Boston players. Johnny’s aggressiveness almost is un- canny. Once the game begins he hasn’t a friend on the field. What’s more he doesn’t want one. We have seen him applaud a great play by Maranville then humiliate the Rabbit by snatching a ball from his hand all in one-half of an inning. Indeed, Evers igs such an expert goat- getter that he is liable to run Zinn Beck and Polly Perritt out of the ball park before the current season in Boston is at an end. Temperamentally, Beck and Perritt are not equal to the task of fight- ing Evers. It's an unfair battle. So why continue? racine , WOMEN’S GOLF RECORD TIED IN TITLE MATCH GLENCOVE, N.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—On their re- turn home for the last days through the home stretch the Giants have shown enough enthusiasm to plant among the fans a new seed of hope. Against the Reds they played like the champious they were at the end of last season. It Was not so much the way they hit and riddled their old pal Red Ames, but it was the. spirit in which they went at it. There was none of the lethargy that has characterized their work for the past month. “Fellows, I believe the break has come,’’ said Larry Doyle enthusiastical- ly after the game, ‘‘and we've got a chance. This is the first good lacing we have given Ames all season and I feel it in my bones that luck is going to come our way for the first time this geason.”’ Sad News From Boston. But, just as Larry was talking, nearby ticker announced § that Braves had made three runs in eighth inning. ‘“‘Never mind about that.” laughed Larry. ‘‘We can’t be figuring on how Boston comes out from now on. If we take care of our own games the other teams will look after the Braves. That's been our trouble; we’ve been paying too much attention to what the other fel- low is doing.’’ There is no doubt but that the whole club is feeling a revival of “‘pep.”’ In the clubhouse last night the three-time champions were laughing, singing and chasing each other around the room with wet towels. In the meantime McGraw has started a system of resting his men in relays whenever the opportunity offers, a plan that he used with good effect during the last days of the fight in 1912. After Ames was knocked from the box yester- day and a left-hander had taken his place, McGraw withdrew Doyle and Rob- ertson and two innings later he gave George Burns a rest and sent Sandy Piez to left field. Piez was immensely pleased with the arrangement. It gave him a chance to shine before his bride. who sat in the grand stand. The young left fielder was married two weeks ago. Tesreau on Deck Today. Today it is McGraw’s intention to shove big Jeff Tesreau against the Reds, and if the batters get away to a good start behind him three more of the Giants will get a rest. The Reds appear to be all in and have lost the peppery spirit that has characterized al! their visits up to this time. This may have been due to the absence from the field of Charley Herzog, whose suspension was lifted last night. The excellent work of Al Demaree, coming as it did upon the recent good showing of Arthur Fromme, has put the champs in position to shoot along at a rapid gait. Both of these pitchers can work regularly now. RESULTS AND SCHEDULES. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Yesterday’s Results, Boston, 6-10-2; Cardinals, 8-9-5.

Three squads of football candidates for a total of 32 performers, and each squad under the supervision of an indi- vidual coach. All of this, coming on the second day of practice yesterday, set a new record in the annals of Wash- ington University football history.

They eat, sleep and spend their time under the direction of Head Coach Bill Ed- munds—it was merely coach last year. Three football sessions are held a day, one in the morning, evening and night.
