By ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS, Sept. 18, 3:09 p. m.—The allies have progressed some- what on their western wing and are repulsing a vigorous German offensive movement, according to an official announcement made this afternoon by the French War Department. . The communication follows: ‘‘The battle continued during yesterday along the front from the River Oise to the Woevre, without important changes in the situation at any point. ‘‘First: On our left wing, on the heights to the north of the River Aisne, we have made slight progress against certain points ; Three offensive counter attacks undertaken by the Germans against the English army failed. From Craonne to Rheims we ourselves repulsed some very violent counter attacks executed dur- ing the night. ‘‘The enemy tried in vain to take the offensive against Rheims. ‘‘Second: On the center from Rheims to the Argonne, the enemy has reinforced himself by constructing important fortificae tions, and has adopted a purely defensive attitude.

King George’s Speech, In the speech King George said: My lords and gentlemen: I address you in circumstances that call for action rather than for speech. After every endeavor had been made by my Government to preserve the peace of the world, I was compelled, in the assertion of treaty obligations delib- erately set at naught at for the pro- tection of the public law of Europe and the vital interests of my empire, to go to war. My navy and my army have, with unceasing vigilance, courage and skill, sustained {n association with our gallant and faithful allies, a just and righteous ceuse. From every part of my empire there has been a spontaneous and enthusiastic rally to our common flag.

One bomb was seen to strike a large ship, from which smoke curled up. A notable demonstration of friendship for the United States was made tonight at a dinner given by the Japanese For- eign Minister to George W. Guthrie, the United States Ambassador. Viscount Kentaro Kaneko in a speech scored those persons who, he said, were trying to eatrange the United States and Japan. “Japan not only will not attack the Philippines,’’ said Viscount Kaneko ‘““‘but she never had any idea of disturb- ing the tranquility of the territorial wa- ters of the Philippines.

Turks Refuse to Call Russian Capital Petrograd PARIS, Sept. 18.—In a dispatch from Odessa, the correspondent of the Havas Agency says the Government Press Bureau at Constantinople has forbidden the use of the word Petrograd, the new official name of Russia’s capital, and follows: - . ; ‘*Since Thursday, Sept. 10, the British army made steady progress in its endecvor to drive back the enemy in co-operation with the French.

This was learned today at the White House following a careful study of the message which Ambas- sador Gerard cabled, giving his rece- Ollection of an informal conversation with the Imperial German Chancellor, Until something more tangible and more definite in the way of over- tures come from the belligerents, the President feels that his hands are virtually tied.

France and Russia, as Germany suggested, would Place the President, as he believes, in e delicate position, in view of what Sir Edward Grey has told Ambassador Page. “War Forced on Great Britain.” The British Foreign Secretary re- cently took the position that the war had been forced upon Great Britain. that the neutrality of Belgium haa been disregarded and that it would be necessary to crush German mili- tarism before the allies could fee} safe against new attacks and before a treaty of peace could be worth a “scrap of paper.” Sir Edward spoke of the earnest wish of the Triple En- tente for peace, but said they could make no comment until they had re- celved definite terms from Germany character. ‘On Friday, Sept. 11, but little opposition was met with along. any part of our front and the direction of the advance was, for the purpose of co-operating with our allies, turned slightly to the northeast. The day was spent in rushing forward and gathering in various hostile detachments. By nightfall our forces had reached a line north of the Ourcq, extending from Qulchy-le-Chateau to Longpont. ‘*Gn this day there was also a general advance of the French along their whole line, which ended in a substantial success in one portion of the field, Duke Albrecht of Wuerttenburg’s army being driven back across the Saulx, and elsewhere the whole of the corps artillery of a German corps being captured. Several German colors also were taken. ‘"Tt was only on this day that the full extent of the victory gained by the allies on Sept. 8 was appreciated by them, and the moral effect of this success has been enormous.

Germans Capture British Policemen in South Africa CAPETOWN, Union of South Africa, Sept. 18, via London.—A force composed of 250 Germans, with three Maxim guns, attacked the British post at Nakob Thursday. The garrison consisted ot seven policemen, who fought until their ammunition was exhausted. Those who had not been killed were taken pris- eners. . Substantially the same position was taken by France and Russia and communicated through the American embassies as we}} their Ambassadors here. On comparing the expressions from the allied Powers and that of the Imperial German Chancellor, the Presi. dent found that they took almost an identical position, each charging the cther with responsibility for the war and neither giving suggestions of any basis for peace.

In the pause of the thunder of the huge guns, the infantry and cavalry units scat- tered along the line of battle are being flung into the fray without insula ciable effect on its outcome. _ Allies Engaged in Three Great Efforts. Presumabiy the efforts of the allies have been divided into three supreme struggles; first to dislodge the Germans from the heights of} the Aisne; second, to break through the Fourth and Fifth German armies at the center; third, to outflank the German right under Gen. von Kluck. The position of the Fourth and Fifth German armies is considered not so strong as the remainder of the line, while if the flank- ing movement is successful the railroad lines on which the Germans de- pend would be dut. While the next move of either army is a matter of spebilatilin, the press of London dwells today upon the possibility that the Germans are striving only to hold the strong positions they now have assumed, with the view of keeping the allies at bay and thus afford Emperor William opportunity to rush more troops to his Eastern frontier. | Allies, Aisne Battle Vital for Germany, Not for Expert Says By the Military Expert of the New York Evening Sun.

The German losses are estimated here at 3200 daily for the last fortnight. This totals more than 44,000 since Sept. 4. As the losses of the allies are known to have been tremendous, and adding the terrible losses suffered by the Austrians in Galicia, some idea may be gained of the extraordinary sacrifices of men during these first few weeks of the modérn worlds greatest war. | Many Wounded Prisoners Taken to Paris. PARIS, Sept. 18, 6:24 a. m—The many wounded prisoners coming in frem the front indicate that the allies have made the Germans give ground, the latter leaving their wounded behind. The army of Crown Prince Frederick William has finally turned on its pursuers at Montfancon, to the northwest of Verdun, encouraged, no doubt, by advices of reinforcements coming from the Rhine garrisons, and the line of defense is now clearly established from Noyon, 67 r miles northeast of Paris, to Montfaucon. In addition to the difficulty of reorganizing their forces to withstand the attack on the new line, the Germans are no doubt troubled about their rear. The resumption of activities by the Belgians means more than that its troops have had time to rest, and no doubt there is good foundation for the many rumors that King Albert’s forces have been reinforced, though from where is a matter of conjecture. _~ Some experts still think that the battle is only intended to insure the safety of the Crown Prince’s army, which had great difficulty in disengaging itself from the defiles of the forest of Argonne and is not yet, according to opinion here, by any means safe. The prolonged rains also make it necessary to have more time in which to get the artillery out of the chalky mud of Northern and Eastern Cham- pagae.

Exactly as the British retreat had com- pelled the whole Anglo-French battie- line, from the Channel to the Vosges, to withdraw, so Pau and French, on the German right, were in fact compelling the whole German force in France to retire. This withdrawal began about Sept. 7 By Sept. 12 Von Kluck was back at the Aisne, near Soissons. His right flank was protected by the Olise, beyoni which, on the hilis near Noyon, he sta- tioned the troops drawn out of North- western France and reinforced from Belgium. ‘ Algne a Barrier. Along his front and that of Von Bue- low to the east, the River Aisne consti- tuted an admirable obstacle against the Anglo-French advance. Eastward, south of the Aisne, but north of Rheims, stood the armies of Von Hausen and the Grand Duke Albrecht. Beyond the Ar- gonne, the Crown Prince was struggling back from the attempted investment of Verdun, now abandoned because of the general retreat. The stand of the Germans could be interpreted as meaning several things. It might have been a new attempt to save trains and heavy artillery moving over miry roads, and now halting the retreat of the main army. It might mean an effort to help the Crown Prince, patently in difficulty, by pre- venting the concentration of allied troops from the left and center on his front. It might mean a desperate ven- ture to hold the position they occupied in France until fresh troops sent south permitted a new drive forward, a sec- ond attempt to isolate Paris and de- atroy the allied army. The problem of Gen. Joffre was less complex. For him it was essential! first to prevent the Germans from taking root in France and preparing a new ad- vance. Could they do this, much of the profit of the battle of the Marne would be lost. In addition, it was plain that any success on the right against the defeated troops of Von Kluck might imperil his communication with Bel- gium and drive him east upon the road already congested by the center. Pres- sure on the Crown Prince at the left might break his line of communications with Metz and thrown him west upon the center. Could this be done, ths German masses would have to depend on two difficult lines, one through Bel- gium, the other through France and Belgium to Stenay, for their supplies and for their retreat. Would Lese Advantage. Reinforced, their wings intact. the Germans can hereafter withdraw, if the numbers and resources of the enemies prove too great. Such a withdrawal would mean a surrender of the offen- mive in the western field for long weeks at best, because they would have to re- tire to the Meuse, not impossibly to Ger- man territory, before making another stand. This would rob them of the [ir man defeat. Allies Gaining Strength. If the allies lose, they will pres- ently have to retire again and a new German advance-to the Marne, an- other effort to isolate Paris and the barrier forts, is inevitable. A new battle of the Marne will have to be fought. But in the meantime, the allies will have received thousands of re-enforcements coming from British colonies. They know now exactly what German strategy now contem- Plates. They will no longer have to fight under the shadow of an unin- terrupted series of defeats. Moreover, it should always be remem- bered that Germany must still win de- cisively or retire. So long as the allies hold the sea, her right will be exposed to attacks from expeditionary forces landing from Ostend to Dieppe. In ad- dition, until Verdun falls, she will have to occupy Western Belgium to protect her main line of communication, and this means employing not less than 150,- 000 troops sadly needed on their battle line in France. We see now precisely what the Ger- man plans contemplated. There was to be a rush through Belgium to Northern France. Once the main German army swept south of the Aisne, the Crown Prince was to encircle the barrier forts from the west, Gen. von Heeringen was to come in on the east and south of Nancy, and Verdun, Toul and the connecting forts were to be reduced. Then Germany would have a short line of communication through Metz and Strassburg; the main line of railways in Eastern France would be in her hands. Belgium could be evacuated and all her troops concentrated in Northern France. Crown Prince’s Peril. The plan was compromised by the resistance of the Belgians. It was temporarily wrecked by the failure of the Crown Prince to take Verdun before the defeat of the main armies at the Marne compelled his retreac. Failure ‘to reterat promptly put the Crown.:Prince in some peril, because the French offensive here was rapid, and since the’ French held Verdun they could operate on both sides of the Meuse on his line of ¢etreat. Briefly summarizing, then, a victory for the allies at the Aisne would almost certainly be decisive, so fan as the first phase of the war is concerned. Further German retreat would mean a retire- ment to the frontier along the Meuse, if there were no disaster, nothing but an inevitable yielding to superior numbers or to flank pressure. A defeat for the allies would mean the loss of much that was gained at the Marne, the necessity to fight it all out again, but the time gained would insure the arrival of vai- uable re-enforcements, the information acquired permit now effective resistance. For the allies, then, the battle of the Aisne is an important but hardly vital contest, aside from the possibility that they rneet disaster; for the Germans, it means the salvation or destruction of their whole campaign against France, their great offensive, now gone to the defersive, but palpably striving to‘ gat in _motion once more. -—— —_ ——-— thrown a large amount of field gun am- munition into the river, where it was visible under two feet of water. “On our right the French reached the line of the River Vesle.

A large number of infantry, how- ever, crossed the railway bridge. “During the last three or four days many isolated parties of Germans have been discovered hidden in the woods, a long way behind our line. Bread Left in Town. “Villers Cotterets was evacuated by the Germans, Sept. 11, in such haste that they left behind a large amount of the bread requisitioned. “It was stated by the inhabitants that the enemy had destroyed and abandoned 1§ motor trucks, seven guns and ammu- nition wagons. “Rheims was occupied by the enemy on Sept. 3% It was reoccupied by the French after considerable fighting on Sept. 13. “On the 12th, a proclamation, a copy of which is in the possession of the British army, was posted all over the town. A literal translation of this pos- ter follows: “*Proclamation—In the event of an action being fought early today or in the immediate future, in the neighbor- hood of Rheims, the inhabitants are warned that they must remain absolute- ly calm and must in no way try to take part in the fighting. They must not at- tempt to attack either isolated soldiers er detachments of the German army.

(Copyright. 1914, by Presq Pub. Co.) ROME, Sept. 18.—Demonstrations in favor of Italy’s taking the side of the allies in the war have been made, it is reported, in Milan, Venice and Salerno in addition to the demonstrations which Lave already been made here. Unofficial public sentiment, as well as that of the press, seems to be in favor of Italy’s taking a hand, for the sake of her own future, in the general combat. The Messagero openly accuses Berlin and Vienna of employing much gold in Rome to propagate their versions of the war. Signor pub- Cecli, a radical deputy, lishes a letter arguing that recently too little. attention has been paid to Italy’, friendship with England, which always has been a bulwark. Italy Expected to Join Allies on Sept, 28. PARIS, Sept. 18.—The announcement, made in Paris papers, that all Italian reservists have been called to the colors on Sept. 28, is taken as showing con- ciugively that Italy is about to enter the war as an ally of France, England end Russia. Mobilization of the army has been going on quietly hitherto, and this final step, on the twenty-eighth, it is predicted, will be followed almost immediately by a declaration of war egainst Austria. The Irredentist movement, quiescent for many years, has revived in the in- sistent demand that “*Unredeemed Italy,’’ the Austrian provinces of Tren- tino and Trieste, be seized at this time, when the military power of Austria is a.most prostrate. Petrograd papers are quoted as saying that if Italy does not take the Trentino and Trieste for her- self, she need not expect to have them handed to her, upon a silver platter, when the war is over. British influ- ence, it is said, is noW being effectively exerted at Rome, to convince the Gov- ernment of the wisdom of following the people’s will. 7 Austrian Alpine. Refuges . Reported Transformed Into Forts. ROME, via Paris, Sept. 18.—Dis- patches -received from Trent, Austria, are to the effect that everything is in readiness for the proclamation of 12 state of siege. Even the Alpine ref- uges, it is deci ved, have been trans- formed into forts, jy which cannon have been mounted. Afri males from 17 to 60 years of age are practicing at the rifle ranges, but not enough arms are avail- able despite the arrival of rifles from Germany. Dispatches received here from Monte- negro declare that Montenegrin troops are gradually approaching Sarajevo, Bosnia and Mostar, capital of Herzego- vina, 47 miles southwest of Sarajevo. Fifty Noted Authors Uphold Britain’s Course in War LONDON, Sept. 18.—Fifty of the best known British authors, among them men and women of most divergent po- litical and social views, have signed a Ceclaration in which they say that they are all agreed “that Great Britain could not, without dishonor, have refused to take part in the present war.”’ The signers include Rudyard Kipling, H. Granville Barker, Sir J. M. Barrie, Arnold Bennett, Robert Bridges, G. K. Chesterton, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir H. Rider Haggard, Vhomas Hardy, An- thony Hope Hawkins, Jerome K. Je- rome, Henry Arthur Jones, H. G. Wells and Mrs. Humphry Ward. They say: ‘“‘When Belgium, in her dire need, ap- pealed to Great Britain to carry out her pledge, this country’s course was clear. She had either to break the faith by letting the sanctity of the treaties an‘ of treaty rights of small nations count for nothing before a threat of naked force or she had to fight. She did not hesitate, and, we trust, she will not lay down arms till Belgium’s integrity is restored and her wrongs redressed.”’ —— eee —— al Former Mrs. Cleveland and Party Sail From Genoa ROME, Sept, 17, via Paris, Sept. 18.— The steamer Tomaso di Savoia sailed from Genoa today with 400 passengers, mostly Americans, including Mrs. Thomas J.

Austrian Soldiers Reported as Shoot- ing Their Officers, LONDON, Sept. 18.—Among 2000 cap- tured Austrians at the Battle of To- maszow, Russian Poland, there was not a single officer, reports a correspond- ent of the London Standard. telegraph- ing from Petrograd a remarkable ex- planation of the demoralization of the Austrian army. There have been many previous ac- counts of the Slav and Czech soldiers of Austria being driven into battle by their officers with revolvers ready to shoot them. The decimation of their officers reported at Tomaszo, if true, indicates what a terrible revenge has come to the common soldiers. The dis- patch, quoting a Russian officer wounded in this battle, says the unof- ficered Austrian troops, withering un- der the Russian fire, threw out white flags, abandoned their weapons and welcomed capture. In subsequent en-’ gagements, said the correspondent’s informant, the same operation was re- peated—the Austrians would lose their officers and then abandon their guns and raise the white flag. ot Streams Correspondents Tell Choked With Hordes of Austrians. LONDON, Sept. 18.—‘‘The newspaper correspondents describe horrible scenes en the battlefields abandoned by the Austro-German forces last week,” suys the Morning Post -Petrograd corre- spondent. ‘Streams, they say, were choked full with slain men, trodden down in the headlong flight, till the wa- ters were dammed and overflcewing the banks.

The captain of the Commewijne sight- ed the Lancaster when about seven mriles off the lightship. The cruiser hoisted signals ordering the ship to stop. When she had done so, a launch was sent out from the Lancaster with a boarding party. Every person on the ship was examined by the officers. Those arrested were discharged em- ployes of the Hamburg-American Line steamers Albingia, Mecklenburg and Virginia, which are interned at Carta- gena. The prisoners were informed that they would porbably be sent to deten- tion camps in Canada. Five German reservists were overlooked by the Brit- ish officers. Four had first papers of American citizenship and Albert Lan- gor, formerly a seaman on the Virgnia vent to his quarters after being arrest- ed, to get his shoes, and the British went away without him.

The Duchess was in Namur during its bombardment and she re- ports that she treated mostly Belgian and French wounded. The Duchess said the conduct of the Germans was correct, and toward her- self and party it was even considerate. She refused to make a detailed state- ment until she reached England, where she will go in a day or two.

After suffering heavy losses, the Germans retired. The Belgians still hold the ruins of what once was Termone, though the Germans are attempting to drive than out by shell fire. This action is part of the German plan to keep the Belgian forces on the defensive hereafter, tc prevent them from making further attempts to cut the iine of communication. France Said to Have Placed DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 1%.—That the. French Government has ordered several million dollars’ worth of automobiles for army use is a well-founded report in. motor circles here today. The auto- mobile makers decline to announce any- thing officially. The report says the Packard company alone has received an order for $3,000,000 worth of high-powered cars. It has been admitted that an order “not as large as $3,000,000’ has been given to the Pack- ard company by a concern which is un- derstood to represent the French Gov- ernment. It is said the concern repre- senting the French Government is the Bethlehem Steel Co. It is believed the automobiles will be got into Canada some way and sent to France from there. Uhlans on Desperate Mission LONDON, Sept. 18.—The correspondent of the Times at Ghent believes that most of the recent German raiding m various parts of North Belgium, which could not be explained in any relation to the fighting on a large scale last week, was connected with incidents just heard of where some 1200 uhlans were sent out in small parties to discover whether British troops were landing. They were told to push through at all cost, He says, and it was promised that every man who got back with reliable inforination would receive the decoratio. of the Iron Cross. 5 “I do not think any will get back,’’ :s the terse comment with which the cur- respondent concludes his dispatch.

By Associated Press. BERLIN, via Rotterdam, Sept. 17, via London, Sept. 18.—Crown Prince Frederick William today telegraphed to the Zeitung Am Mittag as follows: ‘*Please collect and forward as early as possible’ woolen underwear and socks for my soldiers. It was only a few days ago that the Crown Prince, who evidently has the comfort of his soldiers in mind, tele- graphed to a Berlin newspaper asking it to collect and forward tobacco and cigars for his soldiers. She healing of the wound of Prince geachim, the youngest son of Emperor Villlam, is progressing normally, but it possibly will be several weeks+before he is wholly restored, according to an announcement at the Imperial Court today. Staff Silent on Movements. There is little illuminating news for the public and not:the slightest hint of the movements of positions of the German army in France for the last 10 days has been disclosea by tre mili- tary authorities, who are determined to veil the situation in mystery until 1 Gecision is reached. They decline to discusa@ the statements made in French dispatches. The wording of the latest German bul- leting may perhaps be interpreted 15 indicating that there is only a series of minor engagements in progress, but it is understood that this is not the case and that the attacks and counter at- tacks mentioned are part of a heavy general engagement. Meanwhile the severity of. the censor- ship on the Russian front has been re- laxed and a number of stories are com- ing through from which it is possible to draw a general picture of the opera- tions leading to the defeat of Gen. Ren- nenkampff's Russian army. From Sept. 7 to 13 the Russians took a “trong position on the line from Anger- burg to Gerdauen, Allenburg and Keh- lau. the left wing resting on the Ma- curlan lakes and the right wing protect- efi in the rear and flank by the forest of Friching. whose pathiess woods and swamps furnished an almost impregne- ble position. The Russians devoted great efforts to entrenching their position and brought up.. besides, their heavy arti'- lery. Russian cavalry scouted far to the west and south, but otherwise the army undertook no offensive operations in the days tollowing the battle of Tan- renberg. Russians Had Four Corps. The enemy's forces, according to the fierman official account, were com- posed of the Second, Third, Fourth and Twentieth corps, two reserve divisions and five cavalry divisions. Gen. Hindenberg, the German com- mander, meanwhile, was assembling every available man, depriving the fortresses of their garrisons and calling wm all but a bare remnant of the force erotecting the southern frontier, in fhe sicinity of Soldau, adding them to re- inforcements received from the west. Gen. Hindenberg again resorted to the eustomary German flanking movement and since the Russian right. protected by the forest and marshes, seemed too strong, he adopted the daring strategy ef sending the flanking force. to the lake pegion to the south, the same character the Russian Greetings. WILHELM, Crown Prince.’ desperate resistance to the frontal art- tacks. After three days’ fighting the Russians were forced back slightly n the center. When the flank movement of the German was discovered already threatening the flank a counter move- ment was launched again with a new army collected at Lyck, including the Twenty-second Corps and parts of the Third Siberian Corps just arriving from Irkutsk and the balance of the defeated Narew army, but the counter attacks falied, and on Sept. 10 the Russians be- gan to fall back on their main position. retreating in good order and well cov- ered. Russian Left Hard Pressed, The Russian artillery on the right wing appears to fave made a good re- treat owing to a timely start while the left wing was hard pressed by the en- veloping German infantry. From this wing the Russians retreated across the border in two columns, while the main body went-northward and the others in an easteriv direction pursued by the Germans, who advanced far from the border. The German Government has appoint- ed Count von Merveldt as wrovernor of the Russian province of Suwalks and other points occupied by them. The University of Koenigsberg today conferred upon Gen. von Hindenberg honorary doctor degrees from all four of the departments of philosophy, the- Ology, 'aw and medicine. The Berliner Tageblatt prints the fol- lowing regarding the operations in the west: “We are standing on the defensive on a 12-mile battle line and because we have been spoiled by a rapid series of victories many are unable to realize that a defence under certain circum- Stances is as justified as an offensive. “We have learned littie cencerning the situation, but we can success, such as the repulse of th French night attacks and the fact that the, French have succeeded neither in vutflanking the retiring right nor break- ing through the front. “The abandonment of our original po- sitions between Paris and Verdun for strategic reasons is in itself nothing momentous. In many days of battle and shifting positions final resulta alone are important. So long as the battle con- tinues undecided, with the pessibility of throwing in fresh troops drawing near while the enemy has exhausted himself by repeated attacks, the German chances are better than those of the Anglo-French.” Eastern Fighting Described. | Capt. Schieckert, the correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger, describes the action in East Prussia on Sept. 10 as follows: “Our heavy howitzer batteries located on the extreme right wing bombarded the intrenchments and bomb proofs of the Russian infantry with terrible effect and from this position we could watch the progreas of the battie easily with field glasses, but we, too, caught the big notes of the battle music. “The battle salvos of the Russians came in ever-shortening intervals and between rolled the infantry fire, now in volleye and then irregularly.

Soon our batter- ies increased their fire until the heav- ens seemed afire while on the horizon the villages broke out in flames. “Through the field glass I observed dark masses moving across the fields. It was the well extended German in- fantry advancing with extraordinary rapid speed. Altogther too high over them exploded shrapnels and from the north came infantry fire which soon was silent. “At 1:45 In the afternoon the Russian shrapnel fire reached its maximum vio- lence and then followed a cessation of all fire for 10 minutes and then again the fire was opened.

The effect of Cossack horsemanship has been observed especially in the harry- ing of the retreating Austrians and Germans and the capturing of their guns and supply trains. The prowess of the Cossacks as scuiits is especially remarkable. Their passed horsemanship enables them to deal successfully with a cavalry enemy four or five times more numerous, but presumably indifferent riders. The Cossack and his horse are skilled in every conceivable tri¢k. The Cos- sack horse will ‘play dead’ under its rider at a word and spring up the next moment... The rider combines ail the arts of the circus performer and the red iIndian,: with perfect command of his’ horse, and the Cossack horses are as handy as polo ponies. have Sd Boys Under 16 German Soldiers, French Say LONDON, Sept. 18—A dispatch to the Exchange Bordeaux asserts that boys less than 16 years old are fighting in the Ger- man ranks.

The infantry trenches are from three to four feet deep. and fave been arranged in parallel ines, with connecting cuttings. The ar- tillery is protected by double lines of embankment, 2 vyvards apart, and earth shelters have been con- structed for the protection of the men while they sleep.

Our troops had arrived and been quartered in hotels and pri- vate houses. The soldiers seemed to be quite in harmony with the occu- pants. On Tuesday afternoon tidings arrived of threatening attacks from Antwerp. Our troops suddenly departed from Louvain, leaving a rather small military force behind. A militia bat- talion remained in order to protect the railways, and the General in comman4, with the first division of his staff, hurried forward to the fighting line. “At this moment a deadly fire came from all parts of the town. The sec- ond division of the staff was attacked. Five officers were wounded, and sev- eral horses were killed. The shooting was directed from the _ restaurants around the market place, from the roofs and from behind chimneys. We fired in return. “Two priests who, it had been proved, had supplied the people with ammu- nition,- were shot down near the me- morial standing on the market place. The battle in the street became more violent. Fresh troops who had just arrived joined. Louvain was soon burning at all parts of the town. A petrol reservoir, for instance, had been fired at. “The battle lasted from Tuesday eve- ning until Wednesday afternoon, when the town. including its northern sub- urb, Heret, was all in flames.

Has Right to Censor Wireless WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Censorship of wireless messages by the Federal Government is legal, according to an opinion by Attorney-General Gregory re- ceived today by Secretary Daniels.

To preserve neutrality, the opin. ion says, the Government has the right even to make use of the armed forces of the United States.

The President is not disposed to take any action as a result of the unofficial exchanges because of their informal character, all of them having been con- ducted orally, and is anxious to avoid entangling the United States in Euro- pean diplomacy. No Word Was Sent Abroad, It was regarded as significant in of- ficial quarters today that President Wil- son had not cabled Ambassador Page at London or Ambassador Herrick at Paris anything concerning the Imperial Chancellor’s noncommittal conversation with Ambassador Gerard. Although Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Ambas- sador, called at the State Department to discuss some neutrality cases, the subject was not mentfned to him. The French Ambassador, Jules Jusserand, has not been advised of the latest phases, although previously Secretary Bryan took both Ambassadors into his confidence on the various steps in the informal movement. It was recalled today that the attitude of President Wilson in waiting for some- thing more definite from the belliger- ents was similar to that of the Amer- ican Ambassadors at Tokio and St. Pe- tersburg before the Russo-Japanese War was settled. The American envoys were particu- larly careful at that time to obtain in writing a definite request for the trans- mission of peace plans and the Amer- . ican Government avoided taking ang action on informal soundings. ; Hollweg Suggests That U. §&, the Allles’ Terms. The German Imperial Chancellor, Von Bethmann-Hollweg, has suggested in- formally to American Ambassador Ger- ard at Berlin that the United States should underta‘e to elicit from Great Britain. France und Russia a statement of the terms under which the allies would make peace. This suggestion was made as a result of an inquiry sent by the American Government to learn whetber Emperor William was desirous of discussing peace, as Count von Bern- storff, the German Ambassador, and Oscar S. Straus recently had reported No reply was made by Emperor Wiil- ‘liam himself, nor did the Imperial Chan- cellor indicate whether or not he spoke vn behalf of his monarch. Ambassador Gerard cabled President Wilson the “hancellor’s remarks from recollection, which was substantially as follows: Germany was appreciative of the American Government's interest and offer of services in trying to make peace. Germany did not want war, but had it forced on her. Even if she defeats France, she must likewise vanquish both Great Britain and Russia, as all three have made an agreement not to make peace except by common consent. Similarly En- gland has announced through Pre- mier Asquith and her diplomatists and newspapers that she intends to fight to the limit of her endurance. Cam Accept Osly Lasting Peace. In view of that determination on the part of Great Britain, the United States ought to get proposals of peace from the allies. Germany could accept only a lasting peace, one that would make her people secure againat future attacks To accept mediation now would be interoreted by the allies as a sign of weakness en the part of Germany and would Learn be misunderstood by the German peo- who, having made great sacri- have the right to demand guarantees of security. The above is all that Gerard communicated as to versation. He added only the brief comment that he, himself, thought the way might possibly be opened to me- diation. President Wilson did not re- gard the message, however, as bringing anything tangible. He referred to the /Chancellor’s conversation as noncom- mittal and incidental to the acknowl- edgement of the American Government's inquiry. ple, fices, Ambassador his con- Russia Would Insist on Destroying Power of Prussia. PETROGRAD, Sept. 18—The activities of Count von Bernstorff, German Am- bassador at Washington, are being care- fully watched. The Gazette correspond- ent is permitted to state, on the highest official authority, that any proposition for mediation at the present time is en- tirely out of the question. The tripartite agreement has for its chief aim that of definitely destroying the power of Prussia as the kernel of German militarism. Before the allies would lsten to any diplomatic conver- sations they would insist on the German principle of a great war indemnity be- ing enforced against Germany. The in- demnity, or aggregation of indemnities, in this case would be tremendous, far in excess of the billion of dollars which Germany exacted of France in 1871. The allies would insist also that, while the indemnities might be apportioned among the different German govern- ments, the chief part of the burden would fall upon Prussia, for it is felt that unless the domination of Prussia is ended permanent peace cannot be in- sured. —— “GERMANY WON’T GIVE UP AN INCH”’ If Territory Was Taken, Berns- torff Says, Fatherland Would Arm to Teeth.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—President Wilson today declined to receive Mcracsa lL. Brand of Chicago, present messages from several German- American organizations, protesting against the chargcs of atrocities made by the Belgian commission against the German army. The President took the position that he had already refused to permit natives of other belligerent countries, living in the United States, to discuss the war with him, and that the messages of the German-Americans were not of the same nature as those brought by the Belgian commissioners. He planned te write a letter to Brand explaining that his recent statement on neutrality addressed to the American people should apply equally tg all living in this coun- try. The President is understood te be deeply disappointed by what he feels is disregard of his neutrality statement. He is determined to check, as far as possible, continued efforts of natives of European countries living in Amertea to take sides on the question. He does not believe such citizens should take sides publicly. —— many could be crushed or dliamembered. “No lasting peace would be possible if a square inch of German territory was given up. This applies to the colonies of Germany as well as the German Empire itecif. It is perfect- ly clear that if any territory war taken, Germany would again arm toe the teeth. Count von Bernstorff was asked if it was possible that peace in Europe might lead to a general disarmament. “That.” he replied, “would depend on the sentiment with which peace Was into by the allies.’ von Bernstorff said that wun- entered (‘ount doubtedly the German Emperor had been informed of the talk between Ambassa- dor Gerard and the Imperial German Chancellor and that the anewer given been first submitted to the Em- He added that it ahould be em- ‘hatically understood that from a mfti- tary viewpoint German) not seek. ing peace at this time. ‘any more than before.’ nad Wark A Ane oe Japanese Give 300,000 Pounds of Tea to the Allied Armies PARIS, Sept. 18.—Telegraphing from Petrograd, a correspondent of the Havas ASgency says that Japanese tea mer chants of the Russian capital, have pre- sented the Russian army pounds of tea. pounds are given with 100,008 Two hundred thousand to the English and French armies and 29,00 pounda to the Belgian army. gliish men.

A steady flow of reinforcements was necessary, he sald. There were already in France, the Secretary of War said, rather more than six divisions of British troops and two divisions of cavalry, which were being maintained at their full strength. (A British division contains about 15,000 men.) Further regular divisions ani additional cavalry were being organ- ized from units drawn from overseas garrisons which were now being occu- pied by terrttorials and volunteers. Territorials Now in Garrisons. A division of territorials already had left for Egypt, a brigade had gone io Malta and a garrison force to Gibraltar. Referring to the two new armies, the Secretary said that new divisions were now being collected at the training quarters. The third army was being formed on the new camping ground an: the fourth army was being created Meantime Indian divisions were on their way. Speaking with full knowledge of the situation at the front, Lord Kitchener 4 declared: ‘‘The tide has now turned.’’ In his dispatches from the front, Sir John French, commander of the British expeditionary force, had omitted, the Secretary continued, one aspect of the situation—“the consummate skill and calm courage of the commander him- self.” The Government appreciated, however, the full value of Sir Johns services. Earl Kitchener also paid a tribute to the other Generals and the bravery and endurance of.the officers and men of the expeditionary force. The latest advices from Gen. French did not materially change the situation as it was already known from published statements. The troops were reported to be in good heart and ready to move forward ‘‘when the moment arrived.”’ Territorials Show Efficiency. On the subject. of recruiting, Kitehener said: “A country which prides itself on out- door sport aes does England should have Women’s 35c Silk Lisle Hose, | double soles, high spliced heels; spe- T F ENTIRE BLOCK, EIGHTH, NINTH, ST.

LADY MOOLAH, CAMEL AT ZOO, DIES; IS REPLACED ‘Another Animal, Donated by ’ Miss Louise D. Woestman, for Forest Park. The censors of the Forest Park Zoo made it known today that Lady Moolah, one of the two camels in the zoo, died last Sdturday of poisoning. It is thought a poisonous weed found its way into hay gathered in Forest Park as feed for the animals. George FE. Dieckmann, president of the St. Louis Zoological Society, today said that, like the war censors, he did not want to give out unpleasant news until he had good news to offset it. For that reason he delayed the announcement of Lady Moolah’s death until he received a dispatch from New York that another camel had been pur- chased to take Lady Moolah’s place. The new camel was donated by Miss Louise D. Woestman. Noble Moolah, a zoo camel, also do- nated by Miss Woestman, died several months ago. Another camel, bought to replace him, arrived at the zoo 10 days ago.

Mr. Asquith in the House of Commons voiced the feeling of profound regret that the splendid career of 50 distinguished a soldier should have come to a premature close. Mr. As- quith, howeves, added the now seem- ingly prophetic words that he still re- garded the special abilities of Sir John French as a future asset of the nation in case of war.

FALLS WITH MEN _ AT WORK; 9 HURT a Who Drop 50 Feet at Par- tially Finished Twelfth Street Structure Uninjured. prs Five men were painfully injured at 8 o'clock last night when part of the cen- tral span of the Twelfth street viaduct, being constructed over Mill Creek Val- ley, collapsed, to the railroad tracks 50 feet below. Those injured were. throwing workmen mn Preston A. Richardson of 2237 East Red Bud avenue, construction superin- tendent, fractured left arm, two fractured, internal injuries; at Mary's Infirmary. William Ewing of 221 Oriole avenue, concrete worker, lacerations of body, internal injuries; at city hospital. Samuel Wiggins, 1608 South Broadway, conerete mixer, lacerations and fracture ef left foot; at city hospital. Winter Haydock of 6001 Maple avenne, civil engineer, contusions and probable fracture of spine; at city hospital. Norman G. Bowers of 4645 Wichita avenue, civil engineer, bruises on head and body. Fred Most of 1201 Dillon street and Fam Kelly, both concrete mixers, were on the center of the span when the acci- cent occurred. Both men went down in the debris, but were not even scratched. About 20 men were working on the span. The others jumped to safety when the false work beneath began to creak. It has not been determined whether the false work was weakened by vébra- tion of passing trains or whether some obstruction on a passing train struc one of the supports. The Fruin-Colnon Construction Co. has charge of the construction work and will have to bear the loss. Construction was begun about fifteen months ago. DANDRUFF SOON RUINS THE HAIR ribs St. ~ —Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry, . Brittle and Thin. Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. It doesn’t do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis- solve it, then you destroy it entirely. get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of vour dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will be silky, fluffy, lus- trous, soft, and look and feel a hun- dred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inex- pensive and four ounces is all you will * need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.—ADV.

In the cast were Miss Grace Sick- meyer, Mrs. H. J. Falkenhainer, the Misses Rose Thaler, Florence Bromley, Irma Saenger and Gussie Waldeck and Messrs. J. J. Wuertenbacher, EK. H. Loffhagen, Frank O.

He has purchased 2,000,000 plants, he says, and is plowing up the ground where skyscrapers have refused to appear. Benbow thinks his horseradish plants will be able te survive the odors from the Standard Oil refinery at Woodriver. which were fatal to the growth of his metropolis. When the refinery was located at Wood River, adjacent to Benbow's farm, he laid out a City and in a little while there were 23 saloons in operation The number has dwindled now to eight and there are hardly.enough plain citj- yens to support the eight saloonkeepers.

Y, BULLET ENTERS LEFT FOOT] Assailant Is Disarmed After Struggle; Says Foe Also Drew Weapon. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Frederick Schultz attempted to kill Alfred Van- Gerbilt’'s stable manager, Charles H. Wilson, at the Horse Show, in White Plains yesterday. Who Schultz is, or why he attacked Wilson, are not known, but Wilson's affair of several years ago with Florence Schenck is thought to be at the bottom of ft Wilson had just driven off the course with Vanderbfit’s high steppers, Grance and Queen, which had won second prize. As he alighted Schultz ran toward him. At the first shot Wilson leaped behind the Vanderbilt horses, shielding his head and body and leaving only his legs exposed. One builet struck him in the left foot. Walter Kelly, manager of the stable of Felix Warburg, the banker, leaped upon Schultz, sent the revolver fiying from the man’s hand and grappled with him until the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Howard Griffin. Denies He Shot to Kill, Griffin says as he led the man away Sohultz shouted at Wilgon: ‘I meant MAIL ORDERS FILLED SCHMITZ & SHRODER |~ —in Tartan meyer Roman Shepherd chee browns and greenish effects.

He added: ‘I also want to say he drew a gun on me. Florence Schenck always told me he carried a derringer, and that is the reason I shot.” e° se The Vanderbilt whip said he had never seen Schultz until they suddenly eame face to face. The Florence Schenck case has held public attention since 1906, when Miss Schenck, the 18-year-old daughter of Dr. Powhattan Schenck of Norfolk, Va., became infatuated and eloped with Wilson to England. Her family dis- owned her. She gave herself up to gay life in Europe, and became prominent in the horse set there.

Miss Schenck later claimed that Wil- json married her, and then abandoned her. She returned here a physical wreck, to find Wilson engaged to Miss Jane Delahanty of Boston, whom he married in November, 1911. This bride was in her teens, and declared she did not care what her husband’s past hai been. Miss Schench's Suit Still Pending. When Miss Schenck became ill and penniless in’this city last December, Dr. Schenck took her to a Norfolk hospi- tal, where she died in a few days. She had begun a suit for $100,000 for breach of promise of marriage against Wilson. The day before her funeral Wilson's lawyer brought action in the Supreme Court to have the action dis- missed on the technical ground that, admitting Wilson asked Miss Schenck to marry him, a breach of promise could not exist, because he was mar- ried when he proposed. Judge Gavagen refused the motion, saying that, despite the plaintiff's death, the suit should go to a jury. The case has not come to trial. WIDOW OF MAN SLAIN BY SENATOR GOEBEL IS DEAD Mind Wrecked by Tragedy, Mrs. John L. Sandford Had Been in Sanitarium 15 Years. LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 18.—The death here Wednesday night at High Oaks Sanitarium of Mrs. Kate Marshall Sandford, 74, widow of the late John L. Sandford, former wealthy banker at Covington, Ky., recalls the noted Sand- ford-Goebel political feud of two dec- ades ago, as a result of which Senator Goebel, afterward Governor, shot Stand- ford to death on a street in Covington. The tragedy wrecked the widow’s mind, and for 15 years she had been a patient in the sanitarium. Mrs. Sandford is survived by a son, C. Marshall Sandford, and by a daugh- ter, Mrs. Oswald Garrison Dillard of New York, and also by a sister, Mrs. Cabel Breckenridge of Cincinnati, and a brother, Louis T.

CLIENT FEARS HIS $4200 MAY BE LOST James B. Miller, 60, Who Has an Invalid Daughter, Tells of His Deals With Man Whose Affairs Are Revealed to Be in Tangle. The first step toward the criminal prosecution of Beverly C. Stevens of 8330 Washington boulevard, involved Clayton realty dealer, was taken today when Prosecuting Attorney Lashly of St. Louls County issued o- £warrant charging him with embezzlement. The complainant was Mrs. Bertha Hanpeter, 7 years old, of Kirkwood. Mre. Hanpeter alleges that Stevens obtained $1500 from her and gave her a bogus deed ws security for her invest- ment. See made the complaint to Lashly Wednesday and was told to return and @ign the necessary affidavit. Visitors Go Through Books. Since he made an assignment last Monday, Stevens has not been at his of the office have remained open. No one has been in charge there and the public has had free access to the place. The office looks as if an invading army had been in it. In their eagerness to learn something which would throw light on Stevens’ real estate dealings, visitors to the office have gone through books and papers. The floor is littered with letters and cir- eulara Loses of Savings Feared. James B. Miller, © years old, of 2818 | Caroline street, who fears his savings Documents Which Are Basis of Criminal Warrant Against B. C. Stevens, and His Office ee genuine. This controversy arises from the firat $1200 deed of trust Miller pur- chased through Stevens. According to Miller, Stevens a year ago said the deed had not been taken up, and told him the life of the deed would continue seven years. Miller fears, from the court record, which shows the deed was canceled at that time, that Stevens issued another deed to Moss, believing the one held by Mil- ler had been lost or destroyed. When Moss obtained the deed he is said to have transferred it to his sis- ter, and Miller wants this transfer set aside in order that he may realize on the property which he claims is right- fully his. MRS. SWINGLEY KEEPS FIRE GONG IN HOME ‘Former Chief's Wife Says She Clayton office. The doors and windows! Would Be Lonesome Without “Companion” of 20 Years. Though Charles FE. Swingley no longer is chief of the fire department a loud and resonant gong which taps off every fire alarm sounded in St. Louls, day or night, is still in his residence, one reason being that Mrs. Swingley says she would be lonesome without its intermittent clatter. Since Aug. 29, Swingley has been Director of Public Safety and has not been required to respond to fire alarms, but the habits of a lifetime _@f $4200 are jeopardized by ‘the irregu- fre difficult to - break and both he-and larities found in Stevens’ accounts, trust- ed Stevens implicitly even after a check for $90 given to him by Stevens had been returned marked ‘‘No funds.’’ Miller said yesterday that, when the _grocer who cashed the check for him, / weturned it and asked for his money _ back, he thought Stevens possibly had simply overdrawn his account. He be- | Heved in Stevens’ ability and honesty. Last Saturday Miller, accompanied by Mi his wife, Luln, went to Clayton, he said, after hearing that Stevens’ finances were tangled, and found that a $1200 deed of trust he had held for three years had heen recorded as canceled more than a year ago, although he had received two semi-annual interest payments from Ste- vens within the last year. Miller, whose right hand is crippled. has two daughters, one blind in one eye from birth and the other an invalid, suffering from heart trouble. He often heard from friends in 8t. _ Touls County of Stevens’ business abil- tty, and in 1907 Miller gave Stevens $1200 with which to buy a deed of trust. Investment of 83000 Made. The investment brought a 6 per cent | interest return, which was paid semi- ‘|| arinually. The deed was to run three | | Years, Miller stated, and, at the ex- ||. plration of that time, he asked Stevens || about it and was told. he said, that, as it was not taken up. it would continue to run for seven more years. Last year Miller invested 83000 with Btevens, buying two first deeds of trust to 8t. Lotiis County property. He said — — ~ ~ ree: rege entn —remererernn, 6 | he never inspected the property to see f the valuation equaled the amount : paid for the deed, believing Stevens bi: ‘would look ovt for that. On Aug. 3 Stevens called at Miller: | home, Miller said, and wrote a check for | $90, the semi-annual! interest on the sec fj p= and third deeds of trust held by i \ him. Miller said he recalled that at tha: | time Stevens inquired why Miller did / not go to church. Miller said he told Stevens he was an honest man, owned no one, had no enemies, and that was enough religion for him. Miller said that, since learning =f Stevens’ tangled affairs, he had been *ainable to sleep, as he feared his sav- ings of more than 8 years were lost. He said he made two trips to Clayton tin the last week in hope of learning of a possibility of regaining his small for- tune, but said he was unable to find Stevens or get a satisfactory explan.a- tion from Stevens’ assistants. Miller is a baggageman employed by the Missour! Pacific Railroad and runs St. Louis to Washington, Mo. His salary is $34.50 a month and he pays $'7 -@ month for the four-room filet in which he and his family reside. ' He said the illness and misfortune to ‘hie two daughters had incapacitated --them for work and he feared he would have to start saving all over again. Injunction Is Asked. Miller and his wife, in a petition filed ha the Circuit Court at Clayton yes- _ terday, asked that an injunction be is- Mrs. Swingley say they would feel lost if the fire gong should be re- moved. For more than 20 years, first when her husband was assistant chief and latér when he was chief, Mrs. Swing- ley has never failed to hear the gong at any hour of the day ard night and to note the location of the fire. Until a few days ago there was a “joker” in the Swingley home. This is a little machine like a ticker which auto- matically register the location of the box from which a fire alarm has been turned in. Mrs. Swingiey says that since the joker has been removed she has sadly missed the sharp staccato of _ the joker’s ticker as it pares in unison with the deep bass of the fire gong. 3,600,000 ACRES OF LAND OPENED TO SETTLEMENT Secretarv Lane's Order Affects Tracts in California, New Mex- ico, Golorado and Washington.

Papers iene FILES PROTEST AGAINST WAR TAX ON GASOLINE Dealer Informed Missour!t Mem- bers of Congress That Levy Threatens Great Loss. A protest against the proposed war tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline has been made to the Missouri mem- bers of Congress by Henry G. Gren- ner, president of the Automobile Gas- Oline Co. of St. Louis. Grenner said that his company had contracted to deliver nearly 1,000,000 gallons of gasoline in the future, and that as these contracts are so drawn that no increase in price can be ob- tained, the war tax would result in a lost of between $15,000 and $20,000 to his company. All the other gasoline companies were in the same situation, Grenner said. The Standard Oil] started the practice of selling gasoline for futur- delivery, at fixed prices, he said, and the independents had to follow suit.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING Committee’s Support Stiffens Prices and Many Growers Will Hold Part of Crop. An order for 100 bales of cotton, with a check for $5000, was received from the Wrought Iron Range Co. by the Buy-a- Bale of Cotton Committee of the Busi- ness Men’s League today. W. W. Culver, president of the range company, sug- gested that a movement ought to Dbe started now for establishing a cotton mill in St. Louis. Orders for ]30 bales were received in the mails this morning by the cotton committee. Checks to pay for 127 of the bales were reecived with the orders. The committee has now received orders for 3369 bales and will begin making purchases immediately. The buying committee is holding con- ferences with Charles Senter, George 8. Tiffany and James H. Allen, practical cotton men, to determine the best meth- od of buying. The cotton men have tendered their services to the committee and will place orders for the cotton with- out charging any commission, W. F. Saunders, secretary of the cot- ton committee, said that the buy-a-bale movement had _ stiffened the market price for cotton, and that conditions were rapidly improving. Mary farmers are finding out, he said, that they will not have to sell all. their cotton, and they are holding their surplus them- selves. Has 3150,000 to Invest. The committee now has more than $150,000 to invest in cotton. The orders will be distributed throughout the cot- ton growing states in St. Louis trade territory. Thousands of letters are being out by the committee to people in St. Louis who could afford to buy a few bales of cotton. Many orders are ex- pected from these letters.

Gardner notified the Buy-a-Bale-of-Cotton Committee ves- terday that he had purchased 100 bales of cotton and would purchase 400 more. Gardner is the owner of a cotton plantation near Memphis, and said he regarded cotton at 10 cents a pound a good investment. He bought his cotton direct, and not through the Business Men's League Committee. He said that many busi- ness houses were doing the same thing. Bank Officers Are Buyers. The officers of the Union Trust and Savings Bank of East St. Louis, of which August Schlafly is president, bought four bales of cotton yester- day. The Liquid Carbonic Co. of 1818 Cherokee street has notified the com- mittee thatit willaccept cotton ware- house receipts for the first payment on soda fountains. Many of the smaller Missouri towns are joining in the cotton buying move- ment. It is estimated that the cot- ton crop in the Southern group of counties in Missouri will this year amount to 80,000 bales. Under nor- mal conditions this cotton would be worth $5,200,000. At $650 a bale it is worth $4, 000,000. some ar- rangement is made by which the Southern Missouri farmers can get money for their cotton there will be much business and financial trouble in this State, as well as.in the other states where cotton is the principal crop.

Mo., Sept. 18.—inter- state Commerce Commission inspec- continued their investiga- tions of the wreck of the “Texas Limited’ on the Frisco im a washout two miles west of Lebanon, Tuesday morning, when 27 passengers and em- ployes were drowned. They said they had no evidence in addition to that introduced at the hearing conducted by Commissioner Frank Wightman of the Missouri Public Service Commis- sion vesterday, and were only closing up details of their investigation. At the conclusion of the hearing, Wightman anounced that it was his opinion that the evidence indicate’ that the high water could properly be termed an “act of God” and that the wreck could not kave been avoided. Engineers Study Problem. Examiners Starbird and Jones of the Interstate Commerce Commission questioned the witnesses regarding the precautions which might be taken to guard against future washouts at the same place. F. G. Jonah, chief civil engineer of the Frisco, said that it would be impossible to construct the track in a manner which would prevent washouts in as heavy a rain as that which fell Monday night. He said the construction as it existed before the wreck was all that was needed to carry away any volume of water which engineering knowledge could imagine ever would come down the gulley toward the track. Wie said he believed that, if the track were replaced in the condition it was before the wrec'’x, the railroad would have a perfect construction at this point, considered from an en- gineering standpoint. He said, how- ever, that he had a large force of en- gineers on the ground and that the problem would be given close engi- neering attention. Svecta! to LEBANON, He expected to submit his plans for reconstruction to the Public Servico Commission. Rainfall. in the vicinity of the rainfall with- Farmera ‘I'cll of Farmers living wreck testified that the in three hours Monday night was at least seven and a half inches. They told of jars with straight sides, which had been empty before the rain, having water from seven and a half to eight inches deep in them after the rain. AH the farmers said they never be- fore had known as hard a rain, and had never seen more than a smal) stream of water at the place where the wreck occurred. The stream bed was dry 10 months of the year, they said. George Turner of Springfield, who helped build the Frisco road, said thet there had been a washout at the samc place In 1876. At that time two bridges constructed, by which the water was permitted to pass under the track, and then back under {ft again. Ten years ago, he said, these bridges were removed, and the openings in the embankment closed. The embankment was rip-rapped with heavy biocks of stone for 160 feet where the force of any water coming down the gulley would strike it. Engineer Jonah said that the rip-rap was in good condition, except where it had been torn away by the train when it went off the embank.- ment. a Woman's death raises Frisco Wreck Death Toll te 24.

Mrs. Stoddard is the proprietor of @ ‘moving picture theater. Seven witnesses, whose names were obtained by the police, sald that Mra. Stoddard’s machine was moving at @ speed which they estimated at be- tween 30 and 35 miles an hour, and that it dragged Mrs. Miller 16 feet. Mrs. Stoddard denied that the ma- chine was running faster than 16 miles an hour and said the machine struck Mrs. Miller when it rebounded from the curb into which she ran it to avoid striking the woman. Mrs. Stoddard was driving north on the east side of Grand avenue. Mre Miller had just left a southbound Grand car on the north side of Halliday ave- nue and west side of Grand avenue. She started to walk to the east side of Grand avenue.

Among those well “served” dumb animals (7) suffering was a lady who seemed to be in distress who got on at Tenth street, and from the contortions of her face I presume she would giadly have given 25 cents for a seat. Right here our humane Capt. McC would say why didn’t she wait for a car with a seat empty? The poor lady would have been standing there till 7:30 p. m. However, we reached Maplewood, where a col- lector must collect the fares, delaying the standers and hangers-on an extra four minutes. Some more were piled on the car and remember this 84 seat- ing United Railway palace car collector rang up 66 fares inside car and the willing cash box added eight standing on the back platform, making a total of 74 passengers, or in other words, 34 pas- sengers and 40 head of cattle unable to resist on account of wanting to go home, allowing them- selves to be packed into a stuffy car. (It was raining and all windows were closed.) Out of these 40 20 were forced to ride hanging, from Wighteenth street to Newport avenue, Webster.

Twice have I had the opportunity to help out parties stranded in Webster, bound for Kirkwood WHO DID NOT HAVE THE NICKEL to proceed and were mercilessly put off the car.

Two vital interests are concerned ‘in the ques- tion of granting any part of the sweeping {n- creases of freight and passenger rates asked by Missouri railroads. One is the interest of the railroads, and the other is the interest of the people whom they serve. Bloquent pleas concerning the needs of the rail- roads in the slough of financial distress in which they find themselves should not blind the Public Service Commission to the effects of increased railroad rates on industry, commerce and the cost of living. The actual needs of the railroads must be pro- vided. They must have living rates. They must have revenue sufficient to meet interest charges, operating and maintenance expénses, and a fair profit on investment. They should have no more —not a dollar for extravagances, jobbery or watered stock. The problem is to determine what are living rates; precisely what rates will provide for actual needs. There is juggling to be guarded against in deciding this point. If the commission should look into the past record of railroading in this State it would easily discover the cause of most of the present troubles of most of the roads. [t would uncover criminal jobbery and extravagance. We may let the past go, so far as rates are con- cerned. Whatever may have been done in the past, the railroads mus} flow be put upon a stable, paying basis which will enable them to satisfy the demands of traffic for the present and the future; which will enable them to give adequate service and provide for extensions. commission must determine present railroad values. It must go into the question of honesty, efficiency and economy of management. It must consider the possibility of economies which will not impair efficiency. Increasing railroad rates means increased cost of all the commodities the railroads handle. It means higher prices for the necessaries of life. It means increased burdens on industry and commerce. It means increased cost of living for people now struggling under difficulties. The increases asked by the railroads, ranging from 25 to 225 per cent on freight with a cent a mile on passenger traffic, indicate an effort to make hard times an excuse for imposition. But the railroads cannot be permitted to fatten on distress. The public must be protected from im- position. ¢+¢—---—---- — A MENTAL READJUSTMENT NECESSARY. It will now be necessary for a good many Amer- icans, who have been hoping the United States would annex México in disregard of the rights of the Mexicans, to get it firmly into their minds that henceforth as heretofore the Mexican people are going to be permitted to hoe their own row, without other interference from Uncle Sam than may be necessary to protect the rights of Ameri- cans in that country. ‘= = % SWITZERLAND’S NEUTRALITY. That Germany planned to violate. not only the neutrality of Belgium and Luxemburg but that of Switzerland is a ‘mooted question. The finding of documents tending to prove that Germany in- tended to invade Swiss territory so as to turn Belfort is now announced by the authorities at Geneva. If such was the first intention, the Swiss mobilization of 250,000 men in 48 hours was amply calculated to inspire second thoughts—with an- other 250,000 to back them up. To violate Swiss neutrality would have stirred up not only the Swiss hornet’s nest, but the ire of the world even more deeply than by the in- vasion of Belgium. It would have been more than ignoring a scrap of paper; it would have heen a blow at the world’s traditional and monu- mental example of neutrality. In 1815 the allied armies passed through the territory of Switzerland which had to yield to HBurope’s general necessity. Switzerland was practically under‘duress. But free to assert it- self, in 1870 it refused similar permission to the Alsatians, in which refusal the world upheld it, and its inviolate character has been strengthened by every recognition, consensus and expression of world opinion since then. = = "ws eS THE OHOICE OF A TRADE. The Sage Foundation’s Survey agents have learned that the barber's trade gives ..s follow- ers steadier work than any other pursued by men. They have learned that printing, baking, brew- ing, farm implement making, shoemaking an‘ piano making pay higher wages, and offer more chances to earn unusually high wages, than most other trades. They tell us these trades are generally on the short-day basis, the longest hours, 10 per day, being reported from the bakeries. The death rate, they say, is lowest in shoe shops, highest in breweries. : The Survey folk urge that their findings af- ford a basis for organizing vocational instruc- tion in the public schools, and without doubt vo- cational education, gaining ground more rapidly than any other new feature introduced into our school system for many years, needs all such light that can be given it. It would be quite as disastrous to train too many youths for trades already overcrowded as not to give them any vo- cational training at all. NEW WORKMEN’S OCOOMPENSATION BILL The bill prepared by the State Senate Com- mission and approved by the Business Men’s League, providing for workmen's compensation, is a decided improvement over the bill drafted in 1913, which failed to become law. Under the 1913 bill, compensation for injury causing temporary total disability was fixed at $5 to $10 per week, for 300 weeks, or a maximum total of $4000. The new bill increases the week- ly payments to $6 to $15 or a maximum total of $6000, for 400 weeks. For permanent total disability, the former bill fixed the weekly compensation at from $5 to $10, for 400 weeks. Under the proposed new law, a workman may receive from $9 to $22.50 for a pe- riod of 400 weeks, according to the conditions of disablement, occupation and age of the injured employe. And the commission is empowered, un- der certain conditions, to shorten the period and Present conditions, however, are important. The. ST.

As approved by the Manufacturers and Tnsur- ance Committee of the Business Men’s League, the bill is tentative and subject to amendment, the Senate Commission being still at work eon its final form. = = \ ad - THE RULE OF REASON. President Wilson in his reply to the complaints of the German Emperor and the Belgian commis- sion aptly called attention to The Hague commis- for the settlement of international disputes. As the President properly said, the United States cannot singly intervene to check brutal- ities perpetrated by the European belligerents, but there is a court designed to adjust all inter- national controversies. It is well at this time to emphasize the work of The Hague and the value of the agreements en- tered into there. It is well to call attention to a tribunal which was created to avert war and all its horrors and stands ready to settle differences and preserve peace by the rule of reason. There would be no horrors to complain of if the nations would go to court instead of war; if governments would adopt the same civilized methods of adjusting disputes which they impose upon individuals within their boundaries. = | WHAT HALTS THE OPERATORS? President Wilson proposed a plan for a three- year truce in the Colorado mine strike, based chiefly upon strict adherence, by both sides, to the Colorado State laws regulating mining and labor. The strike leaders have promptly accepted the plan. What hinders the Rockefellers and other owners of the mines from giving like proof of their de- sire for honorable peace? Can’t they afford to obey the Colorado laws? +o ‘‘NO TROUBLE TO SHOW GOODS.’’ Frederico Alfonso Pezet, Minister of Peru, de- clares that South America cannot be rushed into an appreciation of American wares, Don’t be in « hurry, says he. Don’t hustle. Don’t “drum.” The way to get the trade down there is to sit around easy-like and sort of absorb the orders by degrees. ‘The German is the best salesman that visits South America,’’ Mr. Pezet says. ‘“‘He enlarge the payments, if that will afford a raore | studies what we want and then gets it That is all very well, but it is‘not our style.

Instead of the letter the censor sent the lady a note saying: ‘Madame, your hysband is well, but is far too loquacious.” So was the censor, precisely to the extent of his last five words. eee -- ©%O@—-—--—--- CITY NEEDS EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. Under the new charter, the Board of Alder- men ‘‘may by ordinance include in the Depart- ment of Public Welfare and make provision for a City Free Employment Bureau, and pro- vide for such officer of officers in charge thereof as may be necessary.” That the need for such an employment bureau is great is shown by the fact that each day’s mail brings the Post-Dispatch pathetic appeals from men and women out of work, who say they have exhausted all the known methods of obtaining employment. Many of these letters are evidently from intelligent, educated persons, often with more or less experience. It is im- possible to print all these appeals. And neither the State Employment Bureau nor the private employment agencies are meeting the emergency. The State Employment Bureau is a branch of the State Labor Bureau, which is busy, in the main, with gathering and publishing statis- tics. It has no special fund or provision for advertising or taking active steps towards becom- ing a real, live employment bureau. What is needed is a special St. Louis bureau, with no other duty or interest but to bring the worker and the employer together and, so far as possible, alleviate the condition of forced un- employment. Such a bureau should be created by the Board of Aldermen before the cold weather seta in. a> —— = re FS ais THE UNREASONABLE SENATOR NORRIS. Senator Norris of Nebraska, asking for an in- vestigation of the Illinois senatorial primary, in- dicates that he suspects Roger Sullivan spent a lot of money capturing the Democratic party’s sen- atorial nomination. In what other way, pray, does Mr. Norris think a man like Sullivan could obtain an Illinois senatorial nomination? Now that the Japanese ariny has captured the Kiachau railroad depot, it is sure at least of being able to buy tickets back to the seacoast glow upon the pages in the way a thing engages one’s attention when he rages and inclines to raising cane. When the savagery of ages sort of seizes on his brain—it was then I heard the rustling, now becoming very plain. Tt was not at all uncertain, so I pulled aside the curtain, and a dove en desha- bille had alighted on the sill, where it rested very still, with a bullet through its bill, and its pinions singed to nothing but the unembellished quill. ‘’Tis the peace dove,” I adventured, feeling some- thing of a thrill. In that solitary haven I recalled the poet’s raven, and I knew the bird be- fore me had a catch-line on its tongue— had a last line on its tongue, which it sorrowfully sung, and I set about to find it, for the night was fairly young. I remember even laughing with the thought that it was ‘“‘Stung.”’ Thus it was I got to guessing, while continually pressing wnat I wanted it to answer on the symbol! of The Hague; but its wit was very vague. It had somehow lost a leg, and its head, de- prived of feathers, was as barren as an ege. It was pitiful with famine, it was desolate with plague. “Prophet,” said f, “thing of fancy, after Helgoland and Nancy, by what light of necromancy does your hobby set its store? Have you thought the matter o’er? Are you deaf to cannon roar? Has the house of arbitration closed its melancholy door? Or are you going onward just as bravely as be- fore?’ Said the peace bird, ‘‘Never- more|’’ ‘Plagiarist!” I thundered, ““What illu- sions have been sundered! We have naturally wondered if Carnegie would despair. Has he chucked the whole af- fair? Do they talk peace anywhere on the seven seas of ocean or the unre- penting shore? Is the palace still kept open, with a welcome at the door?’ Said the peace bird, ‘‘Nevermore! “We have quit that monkey busi- ness,’’ said the melancholy bird. ‘There is nothing in it, truly; it is patently ab- surd. I reported back to Andy, and he said an awful word. Though he's meeker than a lamb, what he said, I think, was damn! But he did speak very nicely of our peaceful Uncle Sam.”’ Its condition being dire, I conveyed it to the fire, and I found a feather duster which it ultimately wore; but its song was ‘“‘Nevermore!” just as mournful as before. It could think af nothing better, and would say it o’er and o’er. 141,590 people have visited the Art Museym in the past year.

The war was very disappointing arain on yesterday. Nobody would fight, and aside from heavy movements of troops through tno puper ali any, there was not much guing on. T:e Germans have decided to let the Kussians g9 for a while, and get the front page back. They were magiiag troops along tne left border of ths second page al! day yesterday, and within a very shoit time now they will go around with a great dash, thinking to land themselves where they were before the Allies braced and chased them ali off. The Allies, meanwhile, keep the Germans off tat page, and they are massing along the right side of it in abeut 10 nationaliiies. The tier- mans may get back, but the edge of the page will be pretty badly dog-eared ba- fore they do, anyway. The Germans have little fear of the Russians bothering them very much while they are making this effort. That is one thing one oan say for the Rus- slans—they know their place. Their place is on the third page, and they stick to it pretty faithfully. They oc- casionally fire across the white space between pages and threaten the Ger- mans, but they never make any at- tempt to cross. The Germans do not seem very much afraid of them. They continually humillate them by telling them that as soon as they get the front page cleaned up they are coming back and attend to them. This intimation that the war with Russia is of sec- ondary importance and can wait in- furiates the Russians, and there is a demonstration on the third page every day, even if there isn’t any fighting there. The Russians protest that they have a first-class army, and they say it is rude of the Germans to slight it that way. The Weather Bird. advised them to tell President Wilson if they are not getting a square deal. He says everybody else in the paper is do- ing it. SONG. Dar’s a hard time a-comin’— Dis wintah!

Nominally Christian nations most often pray and take the name of God upon thelr lips when they are trampling ypon Christian principles in waging war. in the moment of triumph, which means slaughter and misery. Both sides, on their own admission, cannot have the Lord with them,, yer both insist that they have. It is a spec- tacle of mortal inconsistency and A weakness at which, one might believe in the bold Hebrew imagery, ‘He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh.’’ On this whole mystery, or, as some would say, mockery of the co-exisjence cf war and religion, of men created in ithe image of God killing each other in the name of God, no one has written with a greater wrestling of spirit, yet withal in the most long-suffering char- ity, than Abraham Lincoln. It is wel! to cite again the often cited words of his immortal second inaugural: ‘Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that Si men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered.”’ — SWEDEN’S POWER FROM WATER, From Dally Consular and Trade Reports. The power needed in Sweden by its various enterprises is materially larger than the increased importation of coal would indicate. This deficiency has been covered by hydro-electric installa- tions. The water falis of Sweden have been calculated to contain 6,000,000 horsepower, only about 16 per cent of which is used at present. The Swedish government has erected power stations at Trollhatten, and oth- ers are in process of construction at Dalelf and Porjus in Lapland. As soon as these stations are completed elec- tricity will be the motive power used or all the state railroads of North- ern Sweden. Of the 100 cities and towns through- out the country, 72 are lighted by elec- tricity produced by the water falls. LEARNED FROM THE BOER WAR, From the Chicage Tribune. It will offend no sensible Englishman to attribute Gen. French's masterly re- treat to the lessons learned in the Boer war. Gen. French went “while the going was good.’ He knew when to retreat and when to retreat fast. Thus he saved his army. The English general of the pre-Boer war school would have stayed to fight and would have fought until all chance of successful retreat was past. Gen. Sherman aptly said, ‘‘The only school for war is war." In war Gen. French learned how to outmaneuver the generals of the most military nation tn the world. ie Revised. From the Chicago Herald.

AD the postman been a more obd- H Servant person he would have seen that the letter he handed t> the young woman at the door was both unexpected and disturbing. As it was however, he passed on without noticing the ‘sudden pallor that overspread her face nor the haste with which she Stepped back into the house and closed the door. Alone, and safe from observation, she siood for a moment in the narrow en- ‘try and gazed fixedly at the letter in her trembling hands. ‘I knew it; it IS from Allen!’’ she whispered, ‘giving ex- cited expression to her thoughts as she noted the return address on the uppe: corner of the envelope; and as one walk- ing in a dream she made her way slowly Lack to the little sitting room and sank weakly tnto a chair. Holding the letter on her lap she on- | gered it nervously and. with growing agitation; thrumming upon it for a sec ond, then picking it up and rumpling it between her fingers as she again read open, but each time she refrained, as with sudden irresolution, and turned her face abruptly away, to stare for a min- ute out of the window with its dull pic- ture of housetops and murky sky. Fi- nally, however, with a quick, impulsive movement, she picked up the penholder that lay on the table at her side, and without further hesitation opened the envelope and drew forth the letter. His Letter. T was written in pale ink and the chirography was cramped and un- even, making it difficult to decipher. Her hands shook as she smoothed out the folds in the paper and held it up s9 that the light from the window might fall upon it. Then, in half murmur, half whisper, she read the letter aloug to herself. slowly and haltingly: Hotel Graften. Portiand, Ore., Sept. 11, 19~— My Dear Mary— You will be surprised to hear from me after all this time. I “have not written to you since I left Buffalo. That was two years the superecription, or grasping it by ona| #8 Jest March. I suppose you thought you of the corners and drumming with its eége in rapid tattoo upon her knee. lwice she was on the point of tearing it would never hear from me again, and I thought so, toe. IT was desperate and hope- leas and I thought it was a)l up with me. I 4rifted about out here until the sesvring ane then I made 4@ strike for gold in Alaska. It was a last chance and a hard one. but I stuck to it and luck came my way and I cleared up more than a hundred thousand. and all I want now to complete my fortune and make life worth living is for you to forgive me, Mary, and take me back. I know I did wrong noj to write to you or send you any word; but J was desperate and I wanted you to forget there was such a man as me. J thought my life was a failure and I did not dare to ask you to marry me and share my bad luck with me. But {ft is all over now and I love you the same as I always did, and I want you to say it is all right and yeu will come out to me here and make a home for me. You need never think about work any more. I will build you a house fit for a queen and you can have your eervants and al] the money you want to buy books and fine dresses. Don’t say No. I have made a man of myself for your sake. Mary, and | love you and I want you. An- swer at once and tell me it is all right and say you will come. It is going on three years since I have heard anything of you. Are you well and are you still hard at work with your type- writer? And how is the twin—Susan? Does she look as much like you as ever? I will never forget how you let me take her to the entertaifment that night thinking all the time it was yourself. That was a great joke on me. I wish I could come myself to fetch you, but I am in a business dea! out here that won't let me get away for several weeks. and I can’t wait that long for you. Don’t think about the expense of the trip. I will look after that. Only say you will come and be my wife. I love you. I ‘ove you. ALLEN. She jaid the letter down, and turning toward the window gazed out vacantly into space. A mist had begun to fall ia the shadowing twilight, giving to the world without an aspeot of utter dreari- ness.

Her thin, worn hands lay on her lap, tightly clasped, while her upraisel face, pale and tense, gave sign in mute distress of the torturing conflict that was burning within her heart. A tear trickling down her cheek aroused her from her reverie. Mechan- ically she dried her eyes adn then, turn- ing slowiy from the window, allowed her gaze to wander about the room in deliberate contemplation of its tokens of poverty and hardship. Everything about her, from her faded dress te the few, cheap pictures on the wall, spoke of toil and struggle and want. It was nothing new. She had been accustomed to it for years; but there was that In her expression now that revealed a sud- denly aroured and bitter realization of her cheerless surroundings; a passionate revulsion of feeling; a revolt against the conditions that so long had bound her to a life of drudgery and care. “But, ne, no—it is not alone because of this! It is not because -f this!’ she cried in sudden outburst of self-confes- sion. ‘It is because I love him, and al- ways have loved him!’’ There was a note of defiance in her voice, as of one who has reached a de- termination in the face of some opposi- tion will, a victory of the heart over the forves of mind and of judgment. Her Letter. PENING a drawer in the table © she took from it a small bottle of ink and a sheet of note paper, and with the eagerness born of impellent resolution she made answer to the let- ter that lay before her. She wrote rap- idly and without hesitation, speaking aloud cach word as she wrote it: Baltimore, M4., Sept. 18, 19—. Dear Allen— Yes, I wit! come All is forgiven. I am alone now. Sister is no longer with me. I have suffered much since I saw you iast. You must expect to find me altered in many ways. Answer soon and tell me how and when to come. I send you my heart’s best love. It has been yours during al! these dreary months of silence, and shall be yours till I dle. Always your loving MARY. She had scarcely signed it when, with a litle cry as of fright, she hastily drew her pen through the signature, and snatching up the letter tore it into bits. With the same impulsive haste she picked ur the letter from Allen, put ‘t back into its envelope and deftly re- sealed it. Then, across the face of it, in an unsteady hand, she wrote: ‘‘Re- turn to writer. Mary Sedgwick is dead.’* (Copyright: Shortstory Pub. Co.) Chapter LXXIX.

She was looking well and appeared delighted to see us. tending to her baggage we hurried home, as she was very anxious to see the children. How she loved and petted them. How she admired Jack Jr., whom she would scarcely let out of her arms. How shes praised the house and everything in it, until I commenced to feel rather ashamed to things I had feared she might chide me for anything. She ap- peared pleased and happy. But at the dinner table I caught her looking curi- ously at Jack, not once, but several times. It made me feel uncomfortable in a way. “Well, mother, Jack? You've been -looking at him good deal!”’ I insinuated. “T don’t think you look very well, Jack.’’ mother spoke to him in reply to my question, ‘‘and IT have been wonder- ing why. With this beautiful home, this lovely air, and your family all well; I’m wondering what makes you look so tired and—unlike yourseif,’’ she finished. “Just tired, mother, that’s all!’ Jack briskly replied, unconsciously straight- ening up in his. chair. “You have been workiitg too hard, You must, have accomplished so much in so short a time. Go a little slower, Jack. ‘Keep your health, and you will have time enough to enjoy all the good things vou can compass. But if you push yourself to the limit of your strength and endurance to win these things too quickly, when the time comes to enjoy them, you will be unable to.

His eyes have a different expression, ‘t seems to me: less steady, more reckless, almost defiant. Perhaps I imagine it, but I don’t think so.” “Oh, Jack’s all right!’ I parried. ‘A little tired, that's all. Don’t tell him such things, mother. He doesn’t work nearly so hard as lots of men.” “YT Aidn’t think he worked too hard. lard work doesn't make men look as Jack does. He looks as though he had too much care; as though he worried.

Norah never went out save with the children. were necessary for her, and every month Jack deposited’ the remainder of her wages in the savings bank. Had I known how and under what conditions she would draw that hard-earned money, I should not have made fun of her for hoarding it, as I did. “When are you going to take your va- cation, Jack?’ mother asked one night when he came home looking particularly tired. It had been one of those humid days when it seems to tire one only to move about. “Oh, I don't know! I hadn’t thought about it,” Jack returned. ‘Don’t know as I shall take any. I want Sue and the babies to get away for a month some- where, and I guess I'll have to stick to the ship.’’ “May I speak seriously?’ mother ques- tioned. “Surely, mother. like,”’ Jack urged. “I want you to promise me that you will go away for a week or two. Go up in the woods—fish and be lazy, but go! You need a vacation far more than do Sue or the children, although, of course, ft would be nice for them to have the change. If they go away Tl stay and take care of you.” “Will you really, mother?” Jack asked, Pleased as a child. “Yet, but you haven’t promised.”’ “All right, I'll take a week.

By W. J. O’Connor. The Germans and Cardinals are not the only forces that have retreated of late. There’s Eddie Collins, for instance. Also Joe Jackson. A week ago Jackson and Collins were crowding Ty Cobb for the batting su- premacy of the American League. In a brief span of seven days, however, Tyrus, by a forced march, has driven all his competitors back and cut of: their lines of communication. Today Cobb has a batting average of io, against Collins’ .248. Jackson 1S tageing along with .347, still a contender for second place. As for the top berth, the betting now is 10 to 1 that Tyrus Raymond, who set the pace last season with .390, will again show the way for the clubbers of the junior organization. Cobb’s Deportment Bad. Even though he has proved periority over a big field of tried hit- ters, Cobb isn’t even mentioned, so far, for the Chalmers trophy, a prize to be awarded the most serviceable player in each league. Cobb’s deportment, stained by a battle with a butcher boy, will militate against his chances and surely eliminate him ‘from the race for the buzz buggy. The A. L. his su- batting race is beginning to shape itself according to Hoyle. Such irterlopers as Dick Hoblitzell, a Na- tional League cast-off, and Mike Mitch- ell, another N. L. discard, are hitting their true pace, having dropped back to a modest position behind the leaders. A week ago Hoblitzell was leading the League, but today he is fourth, and backing away. Mitchell is the lowest .600 hitter, with an average of .306. C. Walker Among Leaders. There are only 11 batters doing .800 or better in the American League at this date and the Browns claim one of them, Clarence Walker. At that the steel-armed outfielder’ will have to step lively to retain berth in the upper strata as he clinging to the outer edge with .306. Any kind of a slump at this late date will land him back with the prole- tariat. Philadelphia claims three: of the elite swatters—Collins, Baker and McInnis. Strunk is not far removed while Wallie Schang also is well up. The Mackmen, to prove their claim to absolute supremacy doing every- thing in the junior league, have es- tablished themselves as the best hit- ting and fielding club in the circuit. They top the league in both depart- ments by a safe margin. Bender Tops All Pitchers. Chief Bender, the Chippewa, is bound to lead the American League pitchers this season, even though he will not have labored as often as such iron-men as Walter Johnson, Bill James and numerous others. Bender has worked in only 159 innings but he has a record of 15 victories and three defeats. Walter Johnson, with 22 wins and 17 reverses, has officiat- ed in 328 anes. more than twice as many as Bender. ill James, althou - oe with yesterday's defeat, he Brown pitcher with 16.18 threatens to be the only aimless of Rickey’s corps to fini above the ‘500° mark.

B BOSTON, Sept. 18. Y winning 16 out of the 21 games already played, Boston has clearly proved its supremacy over the Cardinals in the season’s series, which closes with a game this afternoon. The near-champions of George Stallings have won nine out of their last ten games with the St. Louis en- try, their lone defeat being almost a scratch affair in which the Cards beat Rudolph in ten innings at St. Louis. Yesterday’s defeat was decisive. The Braves made nine hits and coaxed two passes off Harry Sallee, defeating him, o—l, without any apparent effort. Ru- dolpn pitched for the Braves and held the Cards to seven hits, the only run off him being scored in the first inning, when Dolan doubled, advanced on Hug’s — and scored on Miller’s sacrifice fly Dolan Is Ruled Off. Shortly after contributing this run Dolan was banished from the game for disputing Umpire Rigler’s deoision. Rig- ler and Hart were particularly hard on the Cardinals, and even before hostili- ties began Rigler asserted his authority by banishing several of the Cardinal players from the bench. Among those sent to the clubhouse was Charley Mil- ler, who was permitted to return after Dolan was put out. Miller did nothing to strengthen the belief that he is a big leaguer. In the final game today, Manager Huggins promises to pitch Willie Doak, the leading pitcher of the National League. Unless Stallings changes his plans he will send Bill James to the hurling hill and thereby presenting probd- ably the best pitching card in ” League, as James is running Doak a close race for the leadership. A victory today for James will put him ahead of Doak in the percentage column. Cather and Whitted Star. Cather and Whitted, the two players secured from the Cardinals in exchange for Hub Perdue, have certainly been a help to the Braves. Manager Stallings used them both yesterday afternoon, and they covered a lot of territory in the outfield. The Boston outfield is never the same any two days, and yesterday Mann, who has hitherto been in center when the opposing pitcher was a right- hander, was shifted to right, with Mo- ran the latest to watch a game from the bench. Although the Cardinals will hardly leave Boston tonight with an improved percentage, they will take away the bixz- gest wad of money they have received in Boston upon a last series trip in years. This is always a good afternoons for baseball in Boston and it would not be surprising if 10,000 turned out, which would mean about 30,000 for the three ames, a most satisfactory midweek, non-holiday attendance. Braves Favored at 4 to 1. Manager Stallings, according to this morning’s program, will send Bill James in against the Cardinals today in order to make a clean-up of the series if pos- sible. The betting in yesterday’s game vas 2 to 1 on Boston when it became known that Rudolph was to pitch, and if James goes into the box, any St. Louis supporter will be able to get $1! to $4 forfhis money. Those speculatively inclined here are willing to bet at al- most any old price that the Braves are now sure to win the pennant. They are even giving 4 to 1 on the Braves against the field. One wager of $500 to $125 was made in the corridor of the Copley Square Hote! this morning. In the course of a few days it is ex- pected that President Gaffney will make some sort of an announcement regard- ing grounds for next season. It is a foregone conclusion that the old South End grounds will not be used, and those upon the inside would not be a dit sur- prised if, in the course of time, an- nouncement was made that the Braves would all next year use Fenway Park jointly with the Red Sox.

HAS HEAVY FOOTBALL MEN 10 1 OPPOSE THE ILLIN Coach Ward’s Men Hold First Scrimmage Practice for Open- ing Game, Oct. 3. A squad of 28 men, “with an’ average weight of 170 pounds, is the basis of Coach Grant P. Ward’s hope of bu/’ding a winning football eleven at Christian Brothers’ College this fall. It is not very often that a local school can boast of enough material to make almost three elevens of such poundage. Among the purple and gold candidates there are a@ number who may really be termed “huskies.’’ Butler, linesman, 196; McCarty, linesman, 187; Walter and Charley Esgman, linesmen, both of whom flirt around the 180 mark; Rodg- ers, halfback, 185; Shank, fullback, 1, are a few of the big boys who are caily working out on the Easton avenue campus. However, such men as Collins. Gallagher, Chavez and Willett, who are trying out for positions which require less avordupois, bring down the team average. Coach Ward is working at present with but one idea: To beat or hold I- linois. Although Illinois, according to stories going the rounds, will have a crackerjack team, Ward cherishes a hope of defeating the Champaign team. The date is Oct. 3 and as the Illini will rot be allowed to start practice until Monday, the locals have an advantage. The game will be played on the Illinois University field. C. B. C. Holds Scrimmage. Ward led his charges through the first scrimmage on the local campus, yesterday evening. He lined up the first team against the second. How- ever, in order to give the first backs a little opposition, several of the better-looking linesmen were put on the scrub team. Shea, captain of the eleven, played a half position and hit the second team line for long gains time after time. Another encouraging feature of the session was the Manner in which Ahlstrom, a brother of “Swede” Ahlstrom, who played at the college two years ago, made holes in the var- sity line. Ahlstrom lined up at tackle on the scrubs and tore holes through the defense getting the run- ner quite often. Ward is now seeking a man can punt on equal terms with Ma- comber or Pogue, Ulinois’ two star booters. Rodgers and Ahlstrom have been doing the toe work of late and have shown fair form. Rodgers es- pecially, the new-comer showing ac- curacy and distance. His kicks aver- age about 50 yards, Ratican Still Missing. Nothing has been heard at Cc. B. C. of Ratican since Shea succeeded him as captain. Harry has not shown up at the campus. Although he was a wonderful player, Coacn Ward ex- pects no trouble in filling up the hole. He stated that he would rather have a satisfied man on the team who could hold his own than a discontented star. The C, B. C. hospital squad is four strong. McCarty, 180 linesman, is ill and still in Glencoe, where Ward left him when the team returned. He is expected back soon. Grinnell, the big backfield man that the coach brought with him suffered an in- jured ankle and is probably out for the season. Lynn, a backfield candi- date, and Hart, who is trying out for quarter, are both ailing but will be in who games last fall, were out. ORIGINAL O. F.

For two and one-half months it has played at a .773 rate. The club has gained .190 points in standing in that period. It has made the three contend- ing teams seem weak, since it started to climb. The flying Cards, at three criti- eal periods, faced Bosten and three times were jolted into sub- mission. The Braves have their rivals in over 20 contests,.. when one run decided the issue. Now fellow cranks, is that a record to be overlooked or not? The team has shown every- thing that a world’s champion- ship club needs, in the last two months, except the big stick owned by the Athletics. And when you come right down to it, the question of the world’s series dopester must answer for himself is: Can the Braves’ fine pitching offset the Athletics hard hitting? . This question is answered by: his- tory, in a way. New York, in two title series sent the best pitching in either league to head off the Mack- men—and failed. © © . But Wait ’Till Next Season. HREE St. Louis baseball teams are now in the inevitable “‘next year’ construction period, the Cardinals’ pen- nant prospects having now faded to such a remote contingency that only the winning of all of their 19 remaining games could give the club a look-in. Henceforth the St. Louis struggle will be one for place, and the only thing that always rings true in this world—the almighty dollar. According to their position at the fin- ish the Cardinals are to receive a cash bonus at the end of the year. The amount will vary with their position, anywhere between fifth place and first. = * - No New Men to Try Out. HIS, ordinarily, would be the time when the team might be expected outgamed gins. to begin reconstructing for next season. | But owing to the bonus the Cards won't bother much with next season, while this year’s harvest is still to be gleaned.

' Year’s Regatta ! : i Six Cities, Including San Diego, | | | for 1915. | Competition for the privilege of | holding the national rowing regatta was never so keen in the history of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen as in these days. Although the matter will not be decided until! next March, and the regatta of 1915 is Nearly a year away, six cities have | already made application for it. San Diego, Cal., was the first in the field, offering to deposit $5000 or more ina bank in this city to show its good faith. The offer came from a commit- tee of citizens. Other cities, through committees 'that have invited the National Asso- {ciation to hold its championships on | their rowing courses are: Duluth, |Minn., Peoria, Ill., Detroit, St. Louis |}and Washington. Most of the shell- boat rowing in the United States is done here in the East, and the re- Satta has-never gone further West (than St. Louis, for the reason that Iong distances prevent entries from ‘rowing clubs.

T present Huggins is carrying about $25,000 worth of dead timber that he can’t use and can’t dispose of be- cause the Federals might get them and cause the club a total lost of the orig- inal investment. This ‘‘dead’’ wood in- cludes extra pitchers, outfielders and catchers of only ordinary value at pres- ent, and not yet capable of breaking into a regular berth. In the ordinary course of events they would be sent back to the minors, but this season straight-up contracts, or fear of the Feds, compels owners to carry their extra men. The fear of clogging up the pay rell with a long list of indifferent performers who can not be shed at will is deterring the big leaguers from grabbing many minor men, this fall. The job of manager will be a lot easier, next spring, than formerly, on this account. Few new men will be around to harass the boss. . About New Men. NEw men don’t play such a pow- erful figure in baseball that the leagues need worry to death. In fact the National League has been made a factor, this year, almost entirely by the old guard. On the four con- tending teams, veterans of — standing have been back of the clu successes, beyond cavil. Evers is about seven-tenths of the Boston club. Bresnahan and Leach have been two vital factors for the Cubs. Without Huggins the Cardinals have proven feeble. And if the Giants had. not had Mathewson this year, they wouldn’t be within hailing dis.- tance of first division. + e ® The Cardinals really need: A big league shortstop, one of the Arnold Hauser type. > A .300, extra-base hitter and a crack flelder in the outfield, A good understudy infielder, preferably a second baseman, to relieve Hug in emergency.

McCARDELL Mr. Jarr Learns a Sad Lesson on the Folly of Trying to Do a Favor. <¢ HERE has that feller Dinkston \W been all this time?’ asked Gus, the proprietor of the pop- ular cafe on the corner. ‘“‘Wars we are having and fights and fires, and Schmitt at the delicatessen store is giving dill pickles away (because he don't deal in cigars) on account he has got twins at his house. But why he should laugh about that and hand out dill pickles free to every customer on account he has two twins I don’t know. But why ain’t Dink- ston around to speak poultry about all these things?’’ “Poetry,’’ corrected Mr. Jarr. “Well, it's all the same,” said Gus “Where is he? Not that I should care, for his business ain’t no good to me, an I never liked the feller, but if anything has happened to him shouldn't he let us know if he {s dead so the lodge I belong to can pass resolutions of respect, full of all them ‘whereases’ and ‘be it re- solved,’ hey?’’ “Oh, Dinkston will turn up,” Jarr. “Sure, he will,’ said Mn Slavinsky, the glazier. “So soon as that losefer hears you had a successful fire, with nothing burned, but everything a total foss by water, he'll be around.

Nothing I hear but bad luck like in letters from relations. For a good cry I wouldn't give 2 cents; but like dogs howling when you die is the way everybody talks to me these days!” “All right, Gus; Vill do anything you want,” remarked Mr. Slavinsky. “Somebody tell me a funny story and ll laugh if it’s a favor to you.” “That's the proper spirit! That's real optimism!’’ cried Mr. Jarr. “Now, just for that, Mr. Slavinsky, I want to tell you that I know a man —Fritz, our shipping clerk—who has a brother-in-law who has a _ little money, and he’s a handy fellow and would like te go into the glass-put- in business, or something like that. He's a locksmith and an electrician and | think he'd buy your lease and take over your stand and do glazing on the side” “What do you mean, selling me out to somebody I don’t know, like a sheriff sale, when all my stock is paid for and people like me so that they break a winder just to have me come around and put it in? Anyway, if 1 quit the business ain’t I got one bo. old enough now to take it over, and my little Izzy good to put in any- thing up to 36 by 64?’ “But I was only trying to do you a favor, Mr. Slavinsky!”” protested Mr. Jarr, “That's what makes ail the theutte In this world!’ said Gus “Everybody trying to do favors what con't cost them nothing.
