Ry an Associated Press Correspondett. ON THE BATTLE FRONT, by way of Paris, 5:30 p. m., Sept. i8—The gigantic battle, or more properly battles, continue today and night along the entire front from Noyon to the frontier. The fighting does not consist of one sustained and combined movement, hut of several combats, proceeding incessantly at the strongest points of the Germans’ defending line along the river Aisne. Each encounter, however, influences the execution of the gen- eral idea of the Commander in Chief of the allied armies. Attacks ‘and counter attacks follow one another in rapid succession every ‘oO, courage that was marvelous against overwhelming odds.

The Germans appeared to throw into the charge all that remained of their energy, but were Before retiring behind their big guns, they sacrificed greatly of their number, displaying resolution which approached desperation. A vigorous counter-attack from the allies ensued, during which a small extent of ground was gained. Last night was relatively calm along the front, but today the fighting be- eame more furious than ever. During the darkness, operations are rendered difficult, owing to the reluctance of the opposing commanders to use search- lights, which might expose their position. After this stage of the fight was concluded, the Germans appeared to re- During the combat, the adversaries in many instances came to hand-to-hand clashes, and the bayonet was extensively used. The carnage was terrifying, but the troops of both armies appear to have been hardened to such scenes, and fought with great coolness. _ Aviators Discover Ambushed German Guns. The allies’ aviators apparently discovered today the placements of some big German guns, notwithstanding the cleverness with which they are hidden beneath an earthen covering, strewn with the branches of trees. The allies’ irtillery opened a concentrated fire on a certain portion of the line, and the heavy German artillery shortly afterward lapsed into silence at that spot, al- though it is not known whether they were rendered impotent or were merely | effecting a change of position, owing to their former emplacement having be- come untenable. It is impossible to learn from any one portioa of the line what is occur- » ‘ring at other places, but an inclination to recede slightly seemed evident on the German side, although they offered the most obstinate resistance and fought as if made of iron. The allies, at the same time, doggedly pursued the ' small advantage they had gained, and kept at the heels of their reluctantly - retiri ng foe. : : } German soldiers, and the pilot dropped At a point where the bulk of the British troops formed part of the allies’ line the fighting was furious yesterday and some of the most famous English, Scottish and Irish regiments, including the Guards and Highlanders, suffered severely. ‘hey performed the task set for them unflinchingly, advancing and occupying some of the advanced German positons, but at terrible cost.

By Associated Press. VIENNA, Sept. 138, complete absence of satisfactory details regarding the progress of the campaign in Galicia and along the Servian fron tier, the Austrian public is waiting with dumb patience for some definite news as to what really is happening Ever since it became known that Rus- sia is making great headway fn Galicia the comment in Vienna newspapers has been guarded, the editorials dealing chiefly with the German campaign in Western Europe. The presence of 70,- 000' Polish refugees from Galicia, how- ever, added to the constant arrival of train loads of wounded tends to offset this reticence. The police recently issued a decree warning persons against spreading un- favorable war news under threats of the severest pengities. Spies are found everywhere, in cafes and on the streets, trying to overhear private conversations and then hastening to the police and denouncing suspected persons. Hun- dreds of arrests already have been made and many persons have been placed under more or less strict police surveillance. Six Deputies Are Imprisoned. Six Slav deputies in the Reichsrath already have been imprisoned. These include Dr. Kramars, the Czech leader. Commerce and tndustry are paralyzed throughout the dua] monarchy.

Numerous suggestions for the boycot- ting of goods coming from _ hostile countries, notably England, have met with scanty support in the most influ- ential commercial circles. The Prague Chamber of Commerce flatly refused to enforce such a proposal, saying it would be useless at the present mo- ment, besides being very dangerous to Austrian commercial interests later.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS. PARIS, Sept. 19, 2:45 p. m.—The official statement given out in Paris this afternoon says the French have advanced on the right bank of the Oise; that the Germans are bringing reinforce- ments from Lorraine to the River Aisne; that the enemy is holding firm on the center and that the army of the Canes Ce tee continues to retreat. The text of the statement is as follows: “‘First—On our left wing, on the right bank of the River Oise, in the direction of Noyon, we have advanced. We hold all the heights of the right bank of the Aisne, opposite an enemy who seems to be reinforcing himself by the bringing of troops from Lorraine. ‘“Second—On the center, the Germans have not moved from the deep trenches constructed by them. On our right wing the army of the German Crown Prince continues its movements of retreat. Our advance in Lorraine is regular. ‘‘Summing up, the two opposing armies, strongly entrenched, are delivering partial attacks along the entire front, without it being possible to record any decisive result for one side or the other.”’ i Allies’ Task Almost Superhuman LONDON, Sept. 19.—If relianee can be placed on the British and French assertions that the right wing of the German armies, which stretch across Northeastern France, 1s slowly yielding, then the battle of the Aisne seems likely to follow the course of the bat- tle of the Marne, for there it was the German right which first fell back across the river. The Official Information Bureau today gave out the follow- ing statement regarding the situation in France: The situation remains unchanged. A counter attack against the first division, delivered during the night, was driven back. | ‘‘The weather is bad and it is raining continvensly. Along the 150-mile front, the rear of which is searred with graves of thousands already saerificed, two armies, comprising millions of men, rapidly approaching exhaustion and standing iu trenches deep with water, await an opportunity to drive a wedge through the opposing line. Thus they hope to end the terrible strain which must last as long as Emperor William’s troops hold their now strongly entrenched positions, and as long as the allied forces can face the murderous hail of projectiles from the hidden batteries of their opponents. Superhuman Effort Required to Win. Both the British and the French realize and admit that it will take almost a superhuman effort to win, the. strength of the the front. Those in London closely following the war, base the ante? hope of the allies in a possible envelopment of the German righ. wing under Gen. von Kluck, who heretofore has shown himself & master of strategy. Renewed activity on the part of the allied eav- alry and a significant movement of allied troops to the north and west of the German line of communication, together with a pow sible advance of fresh allied troops from the northwest through Amiens, gives expression to these hopes. Eyewitnesss and the surgeons testify to a paradox on the modern battlefield—the recurring frequency of hand-to-hand fight- ing which so many military men predicted was a thing of the past. Bayonet wounds and other cumulative evidence, however, show that the soldiers have been engaged in a death grip during which they resorted to their side arms and in some cases to their hands. - Dispatches received from Paris late last night, referring to a lull dg the struggle are taken here to refer to the artillery only, and today perhaps may see the most sanguinary infantry fighting ’ German position being emphasized in almost every dispatch from - J - ee ey — Ber Dans Aine git ea v". $ SEE” nt aa oi Pe 4 . aa i — “ id valid 18 i ae bs Saas: ON ‘ ey et Rag APE OD * Bia, fo AA aia i oe, Sa Br ates , pase Pe ia kate " ‘ FS ol x

BL ARIS, Sept. 10-—The official commu- nications issued thus far have neglected the question of losses which, in a fight such as the battle of the Marne, Cov- ering a front of 130 miles, are almost impossible to estimate even approxi- mately. Some unofficial reports have placed the allies’ losses at 50,000, and those of the Germans at 100,000 in the series of engagements comprised in the great clash of arms. How near these figures are to the truth no one will know until the official figures are compiled. How- ever, the impression derived from indi- vidual accounts of wounded soldiers and from prisoners, the only unofficial sources of information at present, would indicate that these estimates are eon- servative. Officers Fight to the Death. The losses certainly are the greatest on record, and perhaps the proportion for the Germans is greater than two to one in dead at least. If the press bureau communications are silent on this subject, the order of the day for the army gives eloquent hints of sacrifices made to gain advan- tage and shows how murderous is mod- ern warfare and how regardless of per- sonal safety are the officers and men. The latest order, given out last night, is full of deeds of the greatest heroism and at the same time indicates what the cost was of the srecent successes and previous reverses. Lieut. Naquet of the Twenty-fifth In- fantry of reservists is among those men- tioned for bravery. Although wounded he continued the energetic direction of his company of which all the officers in his section had been killed or wounded. Adjt. Date of the Sixty-ninth In- fantry, led his section on under the most violent fire until all his men were wounded. Then he grabbed a gun from one of his soldiers and while the sec- tion retired continued firing until he was killed by e fragment of shell. For the great proportion of French officers killed or wounded two explana- tions are given—the zeal of the officers and the orders given to the German riflemen to pick them out. Besides those already named, yester- duy’s order mentions Gen. Mangin, who achieved fame in the Moroccan cam- paign, Gen. Bataille, who was killed Sept. 8 after showing the uttermost bravery and sangfroid; Brigadier of Dragoons Voitoret, who when mortally wounded by a shell cried as he fell: ‘Vive la France, I die for her, I am satisfied!’ aud died trying to sing the Marselllaise, and Lieut. Blanc, of the staff of the Havas Agency, mentioned for brilliant conduct in battle on Aug. 29. Teachers Must Tell Pupils of War, but Without Bias NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The public schools of New York form “The melt- ing pot into which the Children of all nations are cast,’’ and the teachers ar not to utter, in the classroom, expres- sions of opinion for or against any coun- try or ruler. .William H. Maxwell, City Superintendent of Schools, so warned the school principals of the greater city. In an address yesterday he asked the question: ‘‘What should be the attitude o% teachers in the classroom toward this tremendous calamity that has befallen the human race?’ and answered it thus: “The facts should be treated simply as facts. Our children should not be allowed to form imperfect or prejudiced ideas of great events that will infiy- e1.ce the development of civilization unti! the last moment of recorded time. In teaching the: geography of Europe, and in the hours devoted to current events. the large military movements should be carefully and accurately followed with the aid of maps.” WIFE OF ALONZO G.

By Associated Press. LONDON, Sept. 19.—Telegraphing from Sezanne, in the Department of Marne, 25 miles south of Epernay, the Times correspondent says: “The territory over which the second day’s battle of the Marne was fought is now a picture of devastation, abom- ination and death almost too awful. to describe. oe: “Even now many sons of the father- land are sleeping their last sleep in the open fields and in ditches where they fell, or under hedges where they crawled after being caught by a rifle bullet or pieces of shell, or where they sought shelter from the mad rushes of the French Tireurs who have not lost their natural dexterity with the knife and who at close quarters frequently throw away thetr rifles and fight hand- to-hand. The German prisoners are now being used on the battlefield in searchins for and burying their dead comrades. Over the greater part of the huge battlefield, there has now been buried at least those who died in open trenches in plateaus or on the high roads. The extensive forest area, however, has hardly been searched for bodies, although hundreds of both French and Germans must have sought refuge and died there. The difficulty of finding bodies is considerable on account of the undergrowth. 150-Yard Burial Trenches. “Long lines of newly broken brown earth mark the graves of the victims. Some of these burial trenches are 150 yards long. The dead are placed shoul- der to shoulder and often in layers. This gives some idea of the slaughter that took place in this battle. “The peasants, who are rapidly com- ing back to the, scene, are marking the grave trenches with crosses and planting flowers above or placing on them simple bouquets of dahlias, sun- flowers and roses, ‘Some of the hottest fighting of the prolonged battle took place around the beautiful old chateau of Mondement on a hill, six miles east of Sezanne. This relic of the architectural art of Louis XIV, occupied a position which both sides regarded as strategically impor- tant. To the east it looked down into a great declivity in the shape of an im- mense Greek lamp with the: concealed marshes of Saint Sond at the bottom. Beyond are the downs and heaths of Kpernay, Rheims and Champagne, while the heights of Argonne stand out bold- ly in the distance. To the west is a rich agricultural country. Hot Fights for Ridge. “The possession of the ridge of Mon- dement was vital to either the attack- ers or the defenders. The conflict here was of furnace intensity for four days. The Germans drove the French out in a terrific assault and then the French guns were brought to bear, followed by hand-to-hand fighting on the gardens and lawns of the chateau and even through the breached walls. The French again held the buiiding for a few hours, only to retire before another determined German attack. On the fourth day they swept the Germans out again with shell fire, under which the walls of the chateau, although two or three feet thick, crumpled like pa- per.’’ The correspondent describes evidences on the battlefields of how magnificently the Germans are equipped in the matter of ammunition and war material. He saw pyramid after pyramid of shrapne! shells abandoned in the rout, likewise | innumerable paniers for carrying such ammunition. These paniers are care- fully constructed of wicker and hold three shells in exactly fitting tubes so there can be no movements. ‘ The villages of Oyes, Villanueve. Chatillon and Soisy-Aux-Sois were bombarded and destroyed. Some fan- tastic capers were played by the shells, such as blowing away half a house and leaving the other half intact; going through a window and out by the back wall without damaging the interior or going a few inches through the wall and remaining fast without exploding. Villaneuve, which was retaken three times is in ruing, including its fine old church. i mn Requests Teamater’s Arrest, Gary Blich. 29 years old, of 1449 Do- dier street, was arrested at the request of Miss Lillian Nagel of 1687 Belt av- ing to Paris and that any letters anyone wanted posted there, I would gladly take back with me. My plan was that, before the French army had finished writing to sweethearts and wives, I would have seen much fighting. My plan worked well, but it nearly put an end to the battle. Everybody, from Colonels to company cooks, produced pencils and post cards and seating themselves under haystacks began writing to loved ones at home. There was no one left to train the guns. I appointed my chauffeur assistant postmaster, and he collected enough letters to fill our automobile. The chauffeur read most of the post cards, but informed me found them disappointing, for instead of messages of senti- mental nature and tales of war, they ran chiefly to requests for socks and cigarettes. In return for carrying their mail, the soldiers presented me with many souvenirs of battle. One of them is the most grewsome weapons of war I have known to be issued to a civilized army. It is a German bayonet which is haif saw. 3 | Had Supposed Saw-Bayonet a Myth. When in London I was*asked by English officers if in Belgium I had seen these bayonets which, because they rip and tear the bone and flesh, are forbidden by the laws of war. I had not then seen them, nor did I believe they existed. I classed them with the other false charges, that are made in every war, of poisoned wells, dumdum bullets and firing on ambulances. Yet I saw three saw bayonets found in trenches that Germans had abandoned. The saw edge was not given by soldiers rasping one bayonet blade against another, but was machine made, and each bayonet bore the Government stamp, a number, an imperial crown and the word ‘‘Erfurt.’’ (The German city of Erfurt is the seat of a large manufactory of royal firearms.) Many people argue that if the object of war is to kill men, the way they are killed makes little difference. But civilized powers do not assent to that, and certain methods of war- fare and certain weapons are forbidden. The more merciful idea is to kill a man quickly and not mangle him, or even only to wound him and so keep him out of the firing line. The modern steel-jacketed bullet and short bay- onet blade are not vindictive. If they can send an opponent to the hos- pital for the remainder of the war, they are satisfied. But this saw bay- onet so tears the flesh that it cannot heal, and it splinters the bone. The blade is 18 inches long, and the upper half of the back is a saw with nine inches of teeth a quarter of an inch wide. I had it photographed and meas- ured and showed it to our military attache, Col. Cosby. It was a duplicate of the one he already had in his possession. Splendid Strategy of Retreat. Shown. Two assistant military attaches of our embassy, Lieutenant-Colonel H. T. Allen and Capt. Frank Parker, both of the Eleventh Cavalry, have just returned from an automobile trip over the battlefield where, from the eighth of September until the night of the eleventh, the French and Germans ‘were fiercely engaged. This battle was the one which assured, for the present, the safety of Paris. It will be remembered that during the week preceding, the English and French steadily withdrew in what then was considered a retreat made nec- essary by superior numbers. It is now known to have been splendid strategy. On the first of September the German left and center were separated, but like the letter V, were approaching each other, with Paris as their objective. Had the allies attacked at that time, they would have had to divide their forces in half,-and so weakened, to give battle to two armies. By retreating, they drew after them the two converging lines of the V, and on the eighth, when the Germans were in wedge-shaped formation, attacked them on the flank and center at Meaux and made the first attack at Sezanne. I saw the finish of the four days’ battle at Meaux which ended. with the Germans crossing the river Aisne and retreating to the hills north and west of Soissons. Allen and Parker saw tke end of the battle north of Sezganmne which resulted in the retreat of the Germans to Rheims, from which point they are still falling back. The battle Allen and Parker described was as follows: Guards Were to Lead March Into Paris. On the 8th the Germans advanced from a line stretching from Epernay and Chalons, a distance of 17 miles. In this front, counting from the German right, were the Tenth, the Guards, the Ninth and Twelfth Army Corps. The presence of the Guards, the corps de’elite of the Germany army, suggests that this was intended to be the main attack upon Paris and that the army at Meaux was to walk in the center with its bands playing. The four combined corps numbered over 200,000. The French met them, they claim, with 190,000. The Germans advanced until their left was at Vitry-le-Francois and their right rested at Sezanne, making a column 15 miles long, headed west toward the l’'rench. The French butted the line six miles from Sezanne, in the forest of Fere Champenois. It was here that the greater part of the fight occurred. It was fighting at long ditsance with artil- lery, and from trench to trench with the bayonet. During the four days in which fortune rested first on one flag and then on another, 30,000 men of both armies were entirely wiped off the map. Two miles from Sezanne, by an ambush, a French regiment was destroyed. The Germans had thrown up conspicuous trenches, and with decoys sparsely filled them. From the forest in the rear the mitrailleuse was trained on the French. The French infantry charged the trench, and the decoys fled, making towards the flanks, and as the French poured over the trenches the hidden guns swept them. German Guards Stand Fast, Die by Bayonet. In anbdther trench, our attaches counted the bodies of over 900 German Guards, not one of whom had attempted to retreat. They had stood fast with their shoulders against the parapet and taken the cold steel. Every- where the loss of life was appalling. In places the dead lay across each other, three and four deep. : The fiercest fighting of all seems to have been waged by the Turcos and Sengalese. In trenches taken by them from Guards and the famous Deaths Head Hussars, the Germans showed no bullet wounds. In almost every attack, the men from the desert had flung themselves upon the enemy, us- ing only the butt or bayonet. Man for man, no white man, drugged for years with meat and aleohol, is a physical match for one of these Turcos, who eat dates and drink water. Thev are lean as stagved wolves. They move like panthers. They are muscle and nerves, and they have the comforting belief that to diq killing a Chris- tian sends them straight to the seventh heaven. As Kipling says, ‘‘A man who has a sneaking desire to live has a poor chance against one who is in- different whether he kills you or you kill him.’’ The French are almost invariably using these black men to lead the charges. Some think this shows they do not value their black brothers. On the contrary, they so use him because they know that, in help-yourself fighting, few white men care to face him. me ee oe’ se enue.

Eight German Corps Sald to Have Started Against Russia. LONDON, Sept. 19.—The Dailly Tele- graph’s Rome correspondent says he learns from an authentic source that eight German army corps (320,000 men) have left France and Belgium for the Russian frontier. A dispatch to the Exchange Telegrapa Co. says: “Dispatches from Vienne states that the Austrians on Friday fortified an extended new defensive front, which will reach Cracow. Gen. Bovcerigz will command the right wing, with his center resting at Przemysl, the center will be commanded by Gen. von Auffenberg, with Tarnow as his base, and the left wing will be commanded by Gen. Dank], with the Germans support- ing his extreme left. “The entire Russian left wing, under command of Generals Ruszky and Bruasitoff, is expected momentarily to begin an attack. The initial assault is expected against Pryzemysl.” One report reaching London from Gal- icia declares that the Austrian cavalry fias been entirely wiped out. This may account for the fortification of the Aus- trian line instead of its continued re- treat toward Cracow. From many points in the dual mon- archy come disquieting reports. Pola. the naval base on the Adriatic, is said to be in revolt, while the people of Vienna, refusing longer to have their attention diverted towards the west are demanding news of the situation in Galicia, from which district hords of refugees, Poles and wounded Austrian soldiers, are pouring into the capital daily. Violent scenes outside the Min- istry of Wear Building at Vienna are reported. Sept. 19.—According to dispatches from the war area in East Prussia, the Ger- mans, during the latest batfle there, developed a navy on the Mazurian Lakes by requisitioning a small plea- sure steamer, which was provided with field pieces and machine guns and manned by infantry. It served prinei- pally ag a means of communication be- tween the right and left wing of the army. The soldiers referred to it as a one- horse navy, but it did excellent serv- ice, landing a howitzer battery on an island, which disabled the heavy Rus- sian artillery posted near the village of Tiergarten. The navy skirted the banks of the lakes, surprising a Russian re- connaissance on one occasion with its effective fire. Later the navy was dis- mantied and is now back in its old business as an excursion boat. Austrian Torpede Boats Bombard Au- tivari, Montenegro.

The French army, according to the night bulletin, is showing signs of hav- tng shot its bolt and has fought itself to a standstill, being unable to fill its Gepleted ranks like the Germans. The Germans, according to last night's bul- tetin, are slowly but surely gaining ground in the center.

Tieut. Wercer von Baeulfeu, one of the best-known German aviators, has been ikilled. He was mortally wounded while reconnoitering a hostile position on Sept. 4, but clung to the steering gear wntil he and his observer had safely landed within the German lines. He then collapsed. As a result of the trip the observer was able to deliver a valu- e@ble report. The well-known sculptor, Friedrich Pfannschmidt, Captain of the Fourth foot Guards, was killed in the battle near Chalons. Herman Wendel, the So- cialist member of the Reichstag, who caused a sensation during the budget debate, by closing bis speech with the words, “Long live France,” has volun- teered in the Frankfurter landsturm battalion and has seen service in Bel- gium. He writes to the Socialist organ that he could not sit quietly before the fire while the whole nation was fighting for its existence. He said he wished dur- ing his service to work by word and deed for the cause of humanity, which was sadly neglected in war time. SERGEANT RIPS OFF HIS SHIELD, IS DISMISSED A. J.

Smith, of the La- clede Avenue District, took his shield from his coat and threw it on the table before the Board of Police Commission- ere at the conclusion of his trial yes- terday evening. The Commissioners had voted to reduce him to the rank of a patrolman for having failed to make a necessary report. “I won't accept that verdict,” he said. The Commissioners then retonsidered their verdict and decided to dismiss Sniith from the force. He was escorted from the room by Maj. McMullen and relieved of his police property. Smith failed to report that Patrolman Paul Walker shot at the feet of a negro saloon porter to make him jig. Walker was dropped from the force last week. Sergeant William B. Harrison, who also failed to repert Walker's conduct, was fined 15 demerits. John B. Mountjoy, a former Sergeant, Was appointed to succeed Capt.

Edwin Jacob Stivers, 18—Trying experiences ' U. 8; who were caught i- the track of battle at a village called Vaumoise, about forty-five miles northeast of Paris. Ambassador Herrick learned Thurs- day of the Major’s situation and sent Lieu~. Edwin St. Jonn Grebel Jr., one of the young army officers now at- tached to the embassy, in an automo- bile to bring the Major and his niece to Paris. Lieut. Grebel found the American, who is in his eightteth: year, broken in health. The Major said the British troops had been in the village on Aug. 30 and 31, and the Germans from Sept. 1 to 10. There had been a good deal of shooting around his cottage. He painted a small American flag cn a piece of board, which he nailed to the cottage, and this was usually respected. Miss Stivers, however, was made to do all kinds of work for the German sol- diers, such as serving them at table, making tea and watering their horses. All their food was taken except pota- toes, on which they lived several! days. Some of the last Germans to pass, Maj. Stivers said, declared they had had almost nothing to eat for three days. He says he saw them eat raw potatoes and carrots. As all means of communication with Paris had been cut, Maj. Stivers was unable to send word to Ambassador Herrick. Tears came into his eyes when fhe saw the automobile, on which was painted, “In the service of the Ambassador of the United States.” Within an hour he and his niece were on their way to Paris. Maj. Stivers was born in Brooklyn, O., and distinguished himself in the Civil War. He was mentioned by Gen. Rosencrans for conspicuous gallantry in the battle of Chickamauga. His home recently has been in Paris. Arrested fer Carrying Pistol. John Caldania, 3% years old, of 146 Pine street was arrested last night for carrying a loaded revofver.

Mrs. Bertha Hanpeter, 70 years old, the complaining witness, who charges Stevens with embezzling $1500 from her, arrived at Prosecuting Attorney Lash- ly’s office from her home in Kirkwood at 9 a. m. yesterday. Lashly told her to wait and went to Judge Wurdeman’s court, where a divorce case in which he was acting’ for a private client was set for trial. Mrs. Hanpeter was kept Waiting in Lashly’s office until 12:10 o'clock. Lashly, after a conference of three- quarters of an hour with his assistant. Ff. R. Chappell, decided to issue a war- rant charging embezzlement. Mrs. Han- peter signed the affidavit and it was turned over to Justice Werremeyer as the basis for a warrant which he was to» draw. At 1 o’clock Werremeyer denied to a Post-Dispatch repofter that he had is- sued a warrant. At 1:30 o'clock he said the warrant had been sent to the Sheriff's office. At the Sheriff’s office it was denied that the warrant had been sent there. Werremeyer intimated to reporters that there would be ‘“‘some- thing doing” about 4:30 o'clock. At that hour Werremeyer went to the office of the trust company.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The in- formal peace movement, begun about a fortnight ago, was today at a stand- still. President Wilson had not forwarded to any American Ambassadors abroad the message received from Ambassador Gerard, giving the record of his con- versation with the German Imperial Chancellor. While Ambassador Gerard reported the Imperial Chancellor as having said that it was ‘‘up to’’ the United States to ob- tain a statement of peace terms from the allies, the President does not con- strue the informal suggestion as request- ing the United States to undertake such a task. Until a specific request comes in a formal way, it is unlikely that the American Government will en- deavor to sound the allies on peace terms. None of the Ambassadors here, repre- senting the allies or Germany or Aus- tria, has been approached by the Amer- ican Government as a result of Gerard’s message. While well-informed observ- ers thought the President had abandoned the idea of pressing the Powers for a statement of peace terms, it was con- sidered possible that the question was merely being held itn abeyance until the return of Secretary Bryan from a week- end in the country. Not to Press Powers. The prevailing belief, however, was that the President had decided to await a definite and spontaneous expression from some of the belligerents, believing that it would be inconsistent with Amer- ican neutrality to press any one of them to make overtures to the others. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British Ambas- sador, inquired by cable of Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Secretary, wheth- er any proposal of peace was before the British Government. Sir Edward’s reply was that Great Britain had received no proposal for peace, either direct or In- direct, from Germany or Austria, and therefore had nothing to say on the sub- ject. The British Ambassador and Jules Jusserand, French Ambassador, were at the State Department yesterday, in con- ference with Counselor Robert Lansing, acting Secretary of State in Secretary Bryan's absence. ‘ The French Keabanendior made only casual inquiry as to the correctness of two newspaper reports, one giving a list vf prerequisites and conditions under which Germany was supposed to have informed the United States of a will- ingness to make peace, and the other giving the substance of a conversation between Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, and the Imperial Chancellor. He learned that the latter report was correct, but rmiade no comment.

LONDON, Sept. 19.—When the Post- Dispatch correspondent asked a Minister of high standing, in the lobby of the House of Lords today, what he thought about peace suggestions, he replied: ‘‘One can see from the newspaper dis- patches from your side that Americans are no more deceived by this intrigue than we are over here. It is positively childish for the Germans to pretend a cesire for peace, for they know well that the allies have made up their minds to prosecute this war until German mili- tarism is smashed. “The best answer to anyone who asks us if we are ready to discuss peace is supplied by the King’s speech, just de- which says, ‘We are fighting ‘for a worthy purpose, ani we shall not ‘lay’ down our arins until that purpose has been achieved.’ | “Impudent Intrigues.” “Great Britain is too gravely engaged now in work to obtain that purpose to be diverted ty a moment by German in- | trigues as impudent and uncorvincing as they are palpably dishonest.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail, describing the great battle, says. ‘The Germans have held their ground three days, their heaviest guns hidden in the woods, and the French artillery has not obtained a mastery of fire over them. “The German infantry is entrenched along the edges of woods, in which the batteries are concealed. It is being at- tacked alternately by artillery fire and by infantry assaults, the French charges being driven home right into the heart of the woods. “At night the Germans make counter attacks, but these have always been re- pulsed. “The stronghold of the German posi- tion is the height of Nogent Il’ Abbesse, three miles due east of Rheims. There the Germans occupy the site of what used to be the forts of Rheims, and from there they are bombarding the town of Rheims, which was on fire in eight differént places at 4 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon when I came down from the tower of the cathedral, from which I had been watching the fierce battle since morning.”’ “Ding-Dong” Fighting. “A comprehensive account of the five days’ battle on the Aisne River, which he described as the fiercest in the west- ern theater since the beginning of the war, was given by a French officer whvu arrived in Paris today. ‘**On the morning of the fourteenth,’ the officer said, ‘the Germans called a halt, but by afternoon the battle had become geneéral. All tie next day the battle was of a ding-dong nature, the Germans evidently waiting reinforce- ments. During the night, however, they delivered a furious attack on the ex- treme left, but the British and French troops gallantly met the onslaught, re- pulsing the Germans no fewer than ten times, with fearful losses. “ ‘The Germans still came on, how- ever, seeking to pierce the French line. There had been nothing like it since the beginning of the campaign. The enemy hurled dense masses of troops at us, n a supreme endeavor to check our for- ward movement, but when dawn came we still held the pcsition, and even had gained ground slightly. “ ‘The artillery duel was continued throughout the next day.

To quote some o7 these reports purporting to come from official sources: *“*The Austrians lost since the battles of Lemberg 350,000 dead and wounde:) and 100,000 prisonefs.’ I read this in- i\fmmediately the Sattonal Cred | Bintaéa tk. credible lie at least 2 times, in bix headlines, repeated even in the same pa- per several times. But we hear tha: afterwards ‘The Austrians Generals, Dank! and Auffenberg, who had to retreat from, Russian Poland. succeeded in uniting and rallying for 4 new fight." I do not think that any- hody endowed with a little, common sense can for one moment believe tha’ um army of 1,000,000, having lost 460,000 men, should be able immediately to rally for a new fight. Loss of 200,000 Reported. ‘According to official (7) St. Peters- burg news, the Austrians, while reced- ing and hotly pursued to Lemberg, had already lost about 200,000 men. (There was hardly anybody left to tell the tale.) The stee)] forts of the first-class fortress of Nichailowsk had been silenced and stormed with incredible bravery by the Russians. (In reality Nichailowsk is a small village with W/ inhabitants, where the Austrian troops had erected .provisional field trenches.) “The reports spoke of 6W Austrian field guns and 1000 heavy guns captured. (Nobody knows the whereabouts of these mythical 1000 heavy guns, as no Austrian fortress had been taken.) Then again, ‘the backbone of the Austrian army in Galicia was utterly broken after the fall of Lemberg, it practically no longer ex- isted, so that the dreaded Cossacks had the choice between a rush to Budapest to join hands with the Serbs and the an- nounced onslaught to Berlin via Bres- lau.’ ‘‘Some days later we hear from Vienna that the Austrian troops made a firm stand in Grodek, southwest of Letn- berg, and after a five days’ battle too 10,000 Russian prisoners and captured many guns. Denies Generals Were Trapped. “St. Petersburg cables that the two Austrian Generals, Dank! and Auffen- berg, are entrapped between the fort- ress of Przemysl and Cracow and that their surrender is shortly expected (evi- dently by the reporter alone). ‘‘What in reality happened is this: The Austro-Hungarian troops had from the beginning *o wage in eastern Galicia a defensive war ageirst great odds. Aft- er repeated engagements they fell bac« on their strong line of defense under the protection of the first-class fortress of Przemysl. The advance of our northern and central army tc Lublin and to the river Bvg, although finally checked and repulsed, achieved its end to arrest the progress of a huge Russian army in the direction of Thorn and Breslau and to relieve the enormous pressure brought tv bear by RennenkKkampff's army on two or three German army corps left to defend Eastern Prussta. Here the Rus- sian invasion recently resulted in defeat and disaster. ‘‘As to the central Russian army, with the fortress. of Brest-Litowsk to lean upon its onslaught on the Prus- sian provinces of Silesia and Posen is far from imminent, as the Polish territory on the left bank of the Vistula occu- pied by German troops must be first conquered. The only tangible result of the Russian victories announced to the world with the eloquence of mounte- banks, is the occupation of Eastern Ga- licia, a flat, open country without any strategical position, which had to be given up to the enemy, as everybody in Austria. 41,000 Russirc-« Captured. “The general staff f tle dual mon- archy, on the other hand, announced, as a result of four weeks’ fighting, the capture of 41,000 Russian prisoners and of 300 guns, figurep which prima facie bear the color of truth. “The news coming especially from Rome (often in the shape of fictitious cables from St. Petersburg), insist upon the outbreak of panic and prevalence of famine in Vienna. Both tales are abso- lutely false and of pure fiction. As to the panic, there is not the slightest rea- son for it and nobody is frightened by the Cossacks, notwithstanding the pic- turesque and melodramatic element in the reports of newspapermen not al- lowed at the front. Conditions are nor- mal in the Austrian capital, where the imperial opera opened on the first of Heptember. “aw far as famine fa concerned, I received private letters that most prices of the necessaries of life, after a short rise, dropped to a _,normal level; but some of the foodstuffs like eggs and sugar became cheaper on account of the impossibility of their exportation.

Solitary soldiers guard the railroad stations, bridges and tun- nels, but bodies of troops, even in smail numbers, are. seen rarely, all having gone to the front. Red Cross stations have been set up at the principal de- pots and stretchers are ready to receive the wounded. The weill-meant hospitality’of the pub- lic in supplying traveling soldiers with delicacies has had an unfortunate effect o*) the peasant soldiers. Unaccustomed to such fare they consume it greedily and become very ill as a consequence. The question of caring for the unem- ployed is assuming serious proportions, especially in Vienna and Budapest. Many hundreds have been given work constructing fortifications along the Danube in thé neighborhood of Vienna. Hundreds more have been sent from towns into the country to work In the fields, Peasants Exploiting the State. The Austrian peasants are showing great ingenuity in exploiting the State. They refuse to pay wages to workers fiom the city and feel them miserably, for which they claim a dollar a day from the state for each worker. The Government declines, however, to yield to» such exorbitant demands. In Vienna funds are being raised pri- vately to feed the unemployed, but the demands of the public are fast Becom- ing intolerable since, besides the wun- employed, the city is crowded with Galician refugees. Apart from a certain seriousness ex- hibited among thinking people, life in Vienna pursues much the same course aa before the war. Cafes are filled and some of the theaters are open. The Imperial Court Opera and the Court Theater will be opened soon for per- formances four times a week, the actors having finally agreed to accept reduced: salaries for four months. Over half the street railway employes have been called into the army and as a censequence the service has been re- duced. Nine hundred new men have been ngaged, but some time must elapse before they will be competent to run the cars. Policemen Join the Army. Many policemen also have rejoined the army, but the city is perfectly orderty. So far there have been no demofnstra- tions against the citizens of hostile coun- Ties and there is no longer any ne- cessity for guarding the British and French embassies. . Prices are not much above normal, although an advance which is reported in the wholesale prices of wheat, barley and rye must soon affect the cost of flour and bread. The price of petroleum is considerably higher. Many refineries have closed and boring operations have ceased. Exports of Galician oil to Ger- many have increased because American oil is no longer arriving in the usual quantities.

His Peace Policy. SPRINGFIELD, IL, Sept. 19.—With- out a note of discord, the Democratic State convention was held here yester- day to adopt a party platform and mominate three candidates for trustees of the University of Illinois. Harmony was the keynote of all the eddresses made. Speeches were made by Temporary Chairman Henry T. Rainey of Carrollton, Permanent Chair- man Gov, Edward F. Dunne, Roger C. Sullivan, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, and State Senator W. Duff Piercy of Mount: Vernon. The platform praised the national and State administrations and indorsed Fresident Wilson for re-election.

Ward, Benton; Fiuttman, Chicago, and Robert F. Carr, For trustees of the State University Henry W. Highland Park, were named. Sullivan sounded the keynote of peace and prosperity in his speech, in which he praised President Wilson as the greatest constructive statesman of the age, pledged his support of the adminis- tration policies, promised to work for the establishment of an American mer- chant marine and declared that the hope of European peace lay in President Wil- Bon. ‘We are not at peace by accident,”’ he said. “We are at peace because Presi- cent Woodrow Wilson had the vision, the justice and the courage to stand firm for peace and the methods of peace against a clamor for war. Had hot biood, rash pride and arrogance of power been given thelr way, we would have been at war with Mexico. ‘tie has earned our gratitude by keep- ing our peace secure. He will earn the ;ratitude of the world by restoring the teace of the world. Hope today for the millions of our brothers in Europe lies in that strong, lonely man in the White House. “The campaign for the November elec- tion is to be, upon our part, a campaign to preserve the constructive work al- ready achieved by a national administra- tion and to buttress that work by cor- wleting the constructive program on hand. We enter this campaign as the advocates of peace, of prosperity and progress every where.” Titfinoia Republicans Adopt Plank for Unlimited Suffrage.

The regular Socialist platform was adopted, with the addition of two new planks. One of these indorsed the proposition to hold a State constitution- ‘al convention.

Several months ago Fred Dreste, 2 peddler, of 2016 Iowa avenue, read an account of a woman who had success- fully passed a $2 bill, raised to $20, on & hotel clerk and had not been captured. The scheme appeared so easy Dreste de- cided to try his hand at bill raising and make some “easy money.” He cut ciphers trom white writing pa- per and pasted them to the right of the two on §$2 bills. Despite the crudcness of the bill-raising Dreste passed three without detection, at tne time, although cone man detected the fraud and Dreste gave him $5 so his victim would not in- form on him. ; When the three victims learned they had been defrauded they complained to the police and gave a description of the two black horses driven by the man wh»5 had victimized them. Police Recognize Team. Early this morning two policemen, who had been on the outlook for eight days for the horses, one of which has a white blazed face and the other a white star on its forehead and several white spots on its right side near the flank. saw the team coming north on Third street to Commission Row... When the team stopped they placed Dreste under arrest refusing to tell him why. The police found a raised $2 | bill in his pocket at the Carr Street Station. Dreste admitted his guili and be- moaned the fact that he had not heeded the advice of his wife, Lena, who told him he would surely be arrested if he circulated the fraudulent bis. The police say Dreste would go to a truck farmer, purchase a small amount of vegetables and tender the bogus $20 bill in payment. With the change, Dreste would go elsewhere and buy the balance of his stock for the day. Freeman Barton of Monk’s Mound, lll., sold Dreste $3 worth of vegetables several weeks ago and after he had given his customer $17 in exchange for the bogus bill he detected a fraud. John Mergelkamp of Jefferson Bar- racks sold Dreste 75 cents worth of tomatoes and gave him $19.% in change for a bogus $20 bill. Dreste was identified by Charles Peter- anon of Wellston as the man who tepn- dered 4 $20 bill in payment for a $1 box cf tomatoes. Peterson gave Dreste $19 and he did not learn he was de- frauded until he counted His money when he returned to his home. Mrs. Germaine Ray of Florissant, Mo., gave Dreste $19.10 in change after Dreste had bought half a peck of but- terbeans. : Dreste, who is 27 years old, has been married three years and has a daughter 17 months old. He is being held for the United States authorities. 1 JEFFERSON A BACK NUMBER. ROOSEVELT SAYS Quotes Mr. Dooley as Saying He Lived Before Days of Open Plumbing. By Associated Press. WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 19.—Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt, reaching here today from 8t. Louis, planned to begin a rapid tour through Kansas in the in- terest of the Progressive party. Three addresses were on his Kansas schedule, one here today, another in Hutchinson tonight and a third in Kan- sas City, Kan., Monday night. Furthe speeches in the State have been forbid- den by the Colonel's physician. From Kansas City Roosevelt will go to Lin- coln, Neb., to speak. It was planned to ask Roosevelt to make short speeches in several of the towns through which the special carry- ing the party was to pass, but it was believed these requests would be re- fused. In his speech before tne State meeting of Progressives here, Col. Roosevelt dis- cussed problems of capital and labor, and talked of the Colorado mine strike, as showing the failure of the State an4 national Governments to enact and en- force effective laws, and of the New Haven railroad scandal, as an example of capital gone wrong, in the absence of proper governmental control. Business, he asserted, is entitled to its profits, and we must learn to accept the principle of combinations of capital as of the highest economic value. But this acceptance, he insisted, must carry with it a fair share of the profit to the employe. The industrial situation has greatly changed in the last % years, re said, for whereas at the beginning ot the period mentioned only about % per cent of the people were employes, at tris time, he saia, half of them live on their wages. He quoted “Mr. Dooley” in fllustration. “Jefferson was a good man,” said Dooley, “‘but he lived before the days of open peumbing.” Roosevelt a 20-Minute Visitor in St. . Leuls at Union Station. Between trains, Col. Theodore Roose- velt spent 20 minutes in St. Louis yes- terday evening. The Colonel did not leave the station. Arriving on a Penn- sylvania train at 5:50 p. m., he went immediately to his stateroom on a Mis- souri Pacific train, leaving at 6:10 p. m., and, with the exception of a few min- utes spent in shaking hands with the crowd, remained there. About a thousand persons assembled at the station to see Col. Roosevelt. Chairman Julian M. Gibson of the Pro- gressive City Committee, Election Com- missioner Joseph A. Wright, former Postmaster Frank Wyman, the Rev. John L. Brandt and members of the party organization and candidates for city offices led in a demonstration. Col. Roosevelt declined to give any in- terviews. He was on his way to Wich- ita to make a speech. From there he will go to other points in Kansas and then tour Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, returning to St. Louis next Friday night for a speech. Col. Roosevelt still shows the effects of the jungle fever with which he was stricken while exploring the River of Douwbt in South America. He is far from being robust, and his complexion has not yet regained its ruddiness. Arrangements are being made by the reception on his return next Friday night. He will speak in East St. Louis at 8 a. m. and will go to the Armory, at Grand avenue and Market street, at 9 p. m. for a speech. We WALK in the direction in which we look.

Miss Margery Liebing, 20 vears old, formerly a telephone operator, of 1612 Biddle street, who is under arrest for obtaining large amounts of goods from department stores under false pretenses, has been nicknamed “‘Daughter Loretto” by the police because of the manner in which she obtained goods. She was arrested yesterday afternoon when a salesgirl who knows Mrs. J. E. Carroll of #426 Coleman street heard Miss Leibing tell another salesgir! that she was Mrs. Carroll and wanted a pair of Silk hose and some underwear charged to her account. This morning, the police say, Miss Leibing confessed she had obtained goods fraudulently on ® occasions in the past three months from various stores. She said wheh she entered a _ store she would approach the bundle-wrap- ping counter and glance at the address on stickers attached to cgarcels. She would write the name on a piece of paper and go to another counter. There she would say she was ‘“‘Daughter Lor- etto” of some woman whose name she would use to order goods which sho always -carried away, having them charged. She said when she represented herself as Mrs. Carroll it was the first time she did not say she was ’’Daugh- ter Loretto.’’ She said she remembers using the names of Mrs. C. A. May of 5340 De Giv- evrille avenue, Mrs. H. W. Warren of 1720 Longeflow boulevard, and Mrs. G. J. Bergesch of 3658 Cote Brilliante ave- nue. The dress she was wearing when arrested was obtained by her scheme, but she said she did not recall what it cost. She told the police that since her brother died a month ago State Sen- ator Kinney has been providing the family with funds to live on. Senator Kinney appeared at police headquarters shortly before noon and furnished $800 bond for the girl’s release. AUTO GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR RUNS DOWN GIRL, 13 Three Men and Women in Ma- chine Speed on After Serious Injury. Bessie Huellinghorst, 18-year-old daughter of Herman Huellinghorst of Allenville, Mo., was struck by an auto- mobile at 8:30 o’clock last night in front of the home of her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Niemeyer, 3609 South Broadway, and se- riously injured. The automobile, a red five passenger machine occupied by three men and a woman, did not stop. Persons who saw the accident say it was going about 40 miles an hour. The girl had been visiting her aunt two weeks. She started across the street as the automobile approached. George Staat of 3613 South Broadway, who was sitting on a doorstep, shouted a warning. The automobile struck her and ran over her. Speed wag not slack- ened. After going a block the driver looked back and went faster. Edward F. Poos of 3612 South Broad- way pursued the automobile in his ma- chine, but did not overtake it. The city don’t haul ashes free now. Christopher Coal makes fewer ashes.

A NURSE TAKES DOCTOR'S ADVICE And Is Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. ‘*Because of total ignorance of how to care for myself at different inter- vals, and from taking cold when go- ing to school, I suffered from a fe- male complaint, and would experience severe pains and nausea which always meant a layoff from work for two to four days from the time I was 16 years old. ‘‘T went to Kansas to live with my sister and while there a doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies, but I did not use them then as my faith in patent medicines was limited. After my sister died I came home to Ohio to live, and that has been my home for the last 18 years. ‘‘ About the time I was 47 years old I saw my physical condition plainly described in one of your ad- vertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, and I cannot tell you or any- one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off at intervals, and during the last 18 years I have not paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have been blessed with excellent health for a woman of my age and I ean thank Lydia E.

TT. first two books of a 2-volume j & 2. work on “American State Trials,”’ by John D. Lawson, the Missouri University lawyer and author, have ap- peared. It is an undertaking wholly unique in this country and seems des- tined to place the fame of the author on a higher pedestal than it has yet oc- cupied. It is nothing less than an ef- fort to present in a pleasing and non- technical manner the important facis of every ‘notable tnmal that has taken place under the criminal code in the United States, from the early witch- craft cases to the present time. In form it is entirely different from the usual “reports’’ of law cases. The “reports’’ are designed only for the lax - yer and concern themselves with the elucidation of points at law. Lawson's narratives are intended for the layman as well as the lawyer. They contain not only the indictments, abstracts of the important testimony, the court’s in- structions, but a brief summary of the case and often the orations of the at- torneys as well. The arguments of some of the most distinguished lawyers the country has ever known should alone form a valuable contribution to our lit- erature, for in them often are to be found the finest diction, the keenest reasoning, the minutest subtleties of ii- vective and persuasion. Arranged in this manner, the cases not only bring up almovust forgotten tragedies that at times have stirred the whole country, but they resurrect some of the country’s greatest advo- cates. In one instance they present Aaron Burr and Alexander Namilton side by side in the same case. In an- other they present the brilliant Sergeart S. Prentiss of Mississippi and the no less distinguished Benjamin Hardin of Kentucky engaged in a forensic duel the stake of which Is the lives of prom- inent men, Many a quaint old case illuminating the lives of our forefathers has been dug up for the work. There are stories of men hanged because they were sup- posed to be witches, and of other men hanged because they were suspected of being Roman Catholics and in a plot ‘o start a servile insurrection. There are stories of other men put to death for burning an old house, stories of dis- asters and tragedies on the seas. There is one instance in which a brilliant law- yer defends the dueling code on the grounds that it is a peacemaker, and another lawyer declares a self-respect- ing man is justified in killing another who has struck him with a cowhide. Judge Lawson has been 14 years col- lecting material for the work. In its compilation he dij not rely upon formal court repurts but got hold of newspaper files and pamphlets wherever they could be obtained. He las had the co-opera- tion of all the librarians of the country and hundreds of lawyers have contrib- uted material. The library of Congress has been thrown cpen to him. William K. Bixby of St. Levis, to whom the first volume is dedicated, has supported him both with money and influence. The first volumas are redolent of that dignified trbanity for which the author’s other writings are noted. No dramatic situation is allowed to fail because of proper handling, end there are fleeting glimpses ot a humor which is all the more delightful for being repressed. Judge Lawson’s attainments appear to qualify him particularly for the under- taking. For many years he has been professor and, at times, dean, in the law echool of Missouri University. A recital of the important organizations in his profession in which he has taken part would be wearisome. It is sufficient to say that when the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology decided to send an investigator abroad to studv foreign codes and suggest reforms in our own, Lawson was chosen for the task. His previous books have been many. regarded as a classic in all the law schools and courts of the land. (Ff. H. Thomas Law Book Co., St. Louis.) “THE GILDED CHRYSALIS.” HEIR names are Cicely and Roger. i Their days of young. love’s ro- mance are over; that is, they are married. Roger is very much a man and Cicely is very much a spoiled child. She knows the ways and luxu- ries of smart society and he is a col- lege professor. They go to live in a typical American college town. Cicely’s social] and intellectual adventures in this center of learning are entertain- ingly related by Gertrude Pahiow, the author of “The Gilded Chrysalis.” Cicely is anything but a practical wifs for a rising educator and anything but a wise partner in the handling of their home. She is as indiscreet as she is ignorant of her part as a wife of such aman es Roger. She nearly wrecks his career. Roger starts her with a “servant’—a Yankee woman who sheds a wealth of common sense and quaint philosophy over the pages dominated by the frivolous Cicely. The bride calls for petits pols sautes and squab on toast for lunch, and Hitty, the hash. ly, however. wants to help him. She is too headstrong to be taught, but she learne—by bitter experience. How she comes to be a real helpmate to ' One of them, his work on contracts, is “THE CALL OF THE EAST.” OW it is “The Call of the East” that has come to join Buck's “Call of the Cumberland” and Van Leer’s “Call of the Hills,” com- pleting a very acceptable trinity of calls. The particular Hast that calls now is Formosa. Its call is to the men of the West who plant the outposts of the West in the ports of the East—Con- suls, military and naval officers, mer- chants and missionaries who force the ideas and ideals of the West upon the impassive and reluctant East. The story undertakes to picture the life of the East and the life of the West as they meet in_one of the small ports of Formosa during the Franco-j Chinese War of 188% and 18%. One of' the characters, Dr. MacKay, pioneer missionary, is called by his own name. Two or three of the other characters, the author, Thurlow Fraser, says, are also drawn from life. There is a pleas- ing romance involving a Canadian med- ical missionary and the daughter of an English merchant traveling in far Formos Fraser, who was appointed a missio to Formosa on the death of Dr. MacKay, has traversed it on fobdt and by boat and his familiarity with the island and with the China coast has enabled him to write entertainingly of the land and the people. With restraint that must be commended he has not made his story top-heavy with mission- ary doings, but has kept these in their right proportion 40 the sum total of the phases of life with which he is dealing. The one flaw worth mentioning is « certain primness of conversation which detracts from the naturalness of his characters. This primness is not lack- ing even amid the most stirring circum- stances. The port was being bom- barded one day and the foreign resi- dents had rushed to a rendezvous of relative safety, whereupon this piece of highly decorus conversation took place: “This is a sudden and unceremonious inroad of uninvited guests, Mr. McAl- lister,” said the Consul as he entered. “Awfully sorry to crowd you so.” “There is no necessity for apolo- gies, Mr. Beauchamp. We are only tou giad to share with all any shelter our situation may afford. Wril you not stay and be as comfortable as the cir- cumstances will allow.’ There is more of the same sort, but in spite of the author’s failure some- times to achieve naturalness for his characters in their conversation, a fault in which he is not alone, he has writ- ten a story of interest as reflecting con- ditions of the period on the island not less than a pretty and appealing ro- mance, (Revell.) LOVE AND TRAGEDY IN AFRICA. YNTHIA STOCKLEY, who knows modern South Africa and can write of strong men and the love of women as well as of the fierce wild land that has been a stage for countless heroic deeds, gives us in her book of short stories, with the title “Wild Honey,” a series of moving eo — ee _—s it than his VELVET too involved for the average ’ and will no doubt be difficult of com- prehension even for those who have some idea of medicine and popular eci- ence. . The book embodies a number of phys- ical and chemical laws, and includes many original thoughts. It is a work which requires very close and careful study. Among the subjects treated are: “Be- lective Involution of Matter,” and here the author shows the relationship be- tween radio-activity and astronomy, as well as its connection with the nebula hypothesis. In the chapter entitled “The Eternal Constant,’ Dr. Savidge describes the re- in nature, though it will entirely dis- integrate in two thousand years. In the chapter on “Color and Essence of Life” the relation of radio-activity to light and color is given profound consideration. Towards the latter part of the book the author treats of the relationship of radio-activity to vegetable and ani- mal life, and its influence in bringing about a relationship between Inanimate matter and life. He also tries to show the connection between radium and cer- tain physiological and pathological pro-- cesses in the human body. (Wm. R.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. | The writer was surprised to see in the Post-Dispatch an editorial on an article in the St. Louis Lumberman entitled, “Our Rate-In- creasing Ratlroads,” ending with a suggestion that the lumber interests of St. Louts needed 4s club with fighting spirit which would be the only thing that would bring helpful rogults. The writer of the article in the St. Louis Lum- berman and also the Post-Dispatch are no dovbdt not aware that there is a powerful intercst work- ing in behalf of the lumbermen of this city and gvarding their interests in the matter of freigh* rates on lumber both to and frem St. Louis. This, the St. Louls Lumbermen'’s Exchange, com- posed of the principal lumbermen of this city, who, through its Traffic Committee, are warding off every attempted burden which the ratlroads entering St. Louis attempt to place and making the railroads fight hard for every penuy of ad- vance {7 the lumber rates to St. Louis. In the last few years an advance of only 1 cent has been made in the lumber rates from the South- west to St. Louis. Previous to 1911 the South- western lines published a rate to St. Louls from the Southwestern lumber producing territory of 18 cents and to East St. Louis a rate of 19% cents. In this vear these carriers increased the rate to St. Louis to 19 cents and lowered the rate to Bast St. Louis to 19c. In doing this these carriers placed St. Louis and Fast St. Louis on the same basis and also granted certain conces- sions in their absorption of switching in’ St Louis. The main object in placing St. Louis and East St. Louis on the same basis was on account ef the fact that the traffic of some of the carriers meved into St. Louis via East St. Louis, thus placing East St. Louls intermediate to St. Louis with higher rate. The Lumbermen’s Exchange of St. Louls contested this advance in the case known as “Lumbermen’'s Exchange of St. Louis ve. Anderson & Saline River Railrosd et al,” but the commission granted the carriers the con- tinuance of these advanced rates. Since that time these carriers have not been able to obtain anether advance to st. Louis in their lumber rates. About two years ago these same carriers pub- lished increased hardwood lumber rates from this territory to St. Louls with a proposed ef- fective date of Dec. 1, 1912 These advanced rates were immediately suspended by the Lum- bermen’s Exchange and are still under investiga- tion by the commission under I. and 8, Docket No. 184. The hearing in this investigation was held at the Jefferson Hotel during the week of June 1 to 6, and is said to be one of the hardest fought and most enthusiastically attended hear- ings ever held before the commission, As stated above, although this advance was proposed two years ago the commission has not yet granted ' this tnerease and judging from the records in this case this increase will not be granted. The Tumbermen’s Exchange has not overlooked tho increase proposed for Oct. 1, but has filed pro- test with the commission fo tariffs and has received a wiedgment from the commission of the receipt of this protest. The policy of the Traffic Committee of the Lambermen’s Hxchange has always been to work in the interest of the St. Louls lumbermen with- out sdunding any trumpets with a view of pub- Hetty; and in behalf of the Business Men's League we wish to say that that association has joined the Lumbermen’s Exchange in their re- quest for the suspension of these advanced rates and stands ready to work shoulder to shoulder DAILY is Mkewise ready to work hand in hand with any whether in St. Louls er other | for ne special bi i ait i visit of a representative of the Cairo Board Trade who visited the St. Loulse Lumbermen’s bange before taking action in behalf of his association. We also note a statement in this article that the Post-Dispatch for a good many AS spension of these’ peace, prevent war. Fafling in that, ft lost its excuse for being. The old “Art of Lying” falled mankind in the crisis. It not only proved false to save, but in the great hour of need it facilitated destruction. The world-disaster to the innocent could not have happened except to a world deceived to the last minute by a system which concealed—an under- ground system: able to hide not only its treacher- ies, but, for a time, its very blunders. In the dark hour of tension, bewildered and groping, !t betrayed even Kings themselves. If the war came unexpected to the masses of people, it found | equally unprépared some of the rulers who had relied upon diplomacy for the exclusive secrets of power and control of the mainsprings of inter- national conduct. The lie that destroyed thus at last destroyed itself. Out of the necessities of nations to reckon with a world-forum a new diplomacy is born; daylight diplomacy as opposed to midnight chicanery. No sooner had war come than the contestants recog- nized a new force with which it would be wise to deal at once—publicity, a thousandfold hotter || and fiercer than had ever beat upon Buropean af- fairs, whether of peace or war. The great search- light bas already revealed the machinations of the old diplomacy which intmediately preceded the war, and: promises to penetrate the innermost secrets of thrones. Attendant upon such extended and penetrating publicity is a growing power of opinion hereto- fore undreamed of, and to this we find Kings and Emperors openly addressing themselves. Chancellors, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors and even a Kaiser who formerly disdained appeals to the world’s judgment are now discussing in the hearing of the whole world certain phases of the world problem. Into this transoceanic discussion President Wil- son has wisely introduced the topic of peace, the problem of peacemaking, at the earliest pos- sible moment. Through informal and open ex- changes something definite in the way of terms may be obtained as a working basis of negotia- tion. But, however remote may be the con- clusion, the splendid result has already been attained of invoking world opinion and forcing Kings to discuss their ambitions and purposes in the presence of the masses, who wil) eventu- ally decide their several, fates—and the only power which can enforce world peace. Under the conditions of publicity, the war is, however costly, a world-wide campaign of politi- eal education. It began with the publication of “The White Papers.” It will ultimately reveal to each deluded people plunged into war with a factitious grievance against each other the truth that their real grievance is against their rulers Daylight diplomacy is the most powerful agent now at work for democracy. = = —- a. eS CARSON CONQUERED.

We sympathise with the strong indignation ex- pressed in Clayton today over the leniency shown Beverly ©. Stevens by the St. Louis County offi- cials, headed by Prosecuting Attorney Lashly. This has nothing to do with the question of Stevens’ guflt or innocence. Yesterday, instead of proceeding against Stev- ens in an orderly, vigorous way, the officials spent most of the day painstakingly adjusting the processes of the law to Mr. Stevens’ convenience. Instead of allowing a warrant promptly to issne and arresting and taking into custody this man who is charged with embezzlement, the obliging officials, by careful prearrangement, recefved Mr. Stevens at a trust company, where the reading of the warrant and the arrangement of his bond, with sureties, were simultaneous. Instead of bringing Mr. Stevens to the law, the officials brought the law to Mr. Stevens. Mra. Hanpeter, the complaining witness, who is 70 years old, was kept waiting in Prosecutor Lash- ley’s office from 9 o'clock in the morning until 12, before she was permitted to swear out the warrant. At 1 o'clock, Justice Werremeyer de- nied to a Post-Dispatch reporter that he had is- sued a warrant. At 1:30 he said the warrant had been sent to the Sheriff's office. At the Sheriff's office it was denied that the warrant had been sent there. But Justice Werremeyer intimated to re- porters that there would be “something doing” about 4:30. At that hour the Justice ‘went in person to the office of the trust company, where Mr. Stevens had preceded him in his automo- bile. There also had repaired Prosecutor Lash- ly, his assistant, Mr. Chappell, and Constable Bruno. There the precious formalities were ar- ranged—an arrest de luxe. esty upon orderly progress of law which may well arouse the indignation of good citizens in the. county and those fn the city who have legitimate county fnterests. Mr. Lashly promised to call a special grand jury if complaints against Stevens were sufficient- ly widespread. How widespread is the alarm with respect to Stevens is shown by the fact that 312 people have applied to the title companies of the county to examine their titles to property concern- ing which they have dealt with Stevens. Mr. Lashly, however, stated yesterday that he did not think he would call a special grand jury. He should think once more. A special grand fury should be summoned {m- mediately for thorough investigation of Stevens’ general transactions. The whole case against Stevens must not be permitted to hinge upon his acquittal or conviction of the single charge of yesterday, respecting which the officials have gone so far out of their way to defer to the de- fendant’s convenience and comfort. Unless Mr. Lashly and his official confreres take prompt and vigorous action of their own motion, there should be a mass meeting of citizens to protest against their flagrant laxity and favoritism. = = * ~~ ST. LOUIS’ CHAMPS ELYSESBS. Approval by the Real Estate Exchange of the central parkway plan ineures further important support for the project which is to give St. Louis a Champs Elysees running north of Market street from Twelfth street to Grand avenue. The municipal authorities have promised that the details of the project will be ready to submit to the Municipal Assembly by Sept. 29. Prompt, speedy action in the matter would not only exem- plify the expedition in city business made possible under the new charter, but would give employ- ment at a comparatively early date for a large number of men. Many thousands of days’ work will be required to tear down the old structures on the ground to be taken over for the parkway, to put the land in proper shape for the improve- ment, to pave the roadways and beautify the lawns. Should the war be prolonged this would provide employment at a time when employment may be needed. On the general merit of the project St. Loulsans have reached a favorable judgment. It will effect transformations that will be memorable. It should be carried forward with a dispatch and energy that will remove the reproach of the bridge.

Having been born in 1845, Prof. Iliya Metchni- koff of the Pasteur Institute at Paris will complete his seventieth birthday during 1915. Elaborate plans for celebrating the interesting anniversary were being made, but were interrupted by the opening of the war. They should not, however, be permitted to be abandoned. On the contrary, they should be continued on a more ambitious scale. By the time the birthday is reached, the world’s appreciation of the eminent author of “The Pro- longation of Life” will be vastly increased by the too successful effort which a number of other leaders of twentieth century thought will have made for shortening life.

They are destined to fall on a plain, their heads cleft by a stroke from a sword or their breast pierced by a bullet. And these are young men who could work, pro- duce, be useful. Their fathers are old and poor; their mothers, who during 2 years have loved and worshipped them, as mothers can worship, will learn in six months or perhaps a year that the son, the child, the big child, brought up with so much trouble, with so mucha money, with so much love, was thrown into a hole, like a dead dog, after his body, riddled by a bullet, had been trampled and crushed into pulp by the charge of cavalry.

No wonder Hate for the the uprising of the black head chilled Stranger him. A hate for the stranger surged Filled Him up within him. In- stinctively he knew that here was the long lost Hutton, and he also knew that the white-haired mother story was gone forever. The black-headed man appeared at Weehawpville. Zinklefoot was winding vp a successful meeting, and it was the moment for the “Henry Hutton” uct. He advanced to the edge of the platform and waited till the smallest whispers had been choked by the si- lence. “Friends,” he cried, “some years ago when speaking at Decatur, Tenn., a white-haired mother asked me to call the name of her wandering son at every meeting I addressed. She, poor woman, filled with maternal love—bungry moth- erly love, stored and gathered through the. years, ready to be lavished upon the prodigal, thought that he might be guideé to one of my meetings to hear her message. I promised her, and I have kept my promise. Night after night, year after year, over the broad breast of the Union, I have oalled his name, listening. waiting, boping al- ways to hear the answering voice that will bring joy to the heart of the little white-haired woman in far-off Ten- nesses.” The seund ef suppressed sobs came from the audience, and Zinklefoot swept up the dizzy heights of oratory he had buflt up before reaching the climax. The mother at Decatur, shone out ifke a snowy-headed angel, and tears dropped upon the green grass as he thrilled his hearers with the story of her love and Gevotion. At last he straightened him- self and called the name of the prod- “Henry Hutton!" The call went ring- ing through the night, and the listeners held their breath. “Henry Hutton!

Weehawpville will not forget the scene that followed. The discovery of the prodigal was intenscly dramatic, and as the inhabitants of thei town had few opportunities for letting themselves go, they seized upon the one made by Zinklefoot. Men struggled to get near the wanderer; women wept hysterically. Hutton was carried shoul- der high to the platform, and the preacher’s commands for silence were ‘lost In cheers and sobs. Women sobbed, men sobbed and the prodigal sobbed. Only Zinklefoot was calm, but Zinklefoot's endeavors to calm the others were un- heeded.

I have a splendid, fat hen and a goose.”’ “The doctor has told me not to eat ‘anything but young lambs,”’ replied Mr. Wolf, ‘‘but I cannot refuse your charm- ing company, so I will be on hand.” Mr. Fox was so flattered by what Mr.y Wolf had said that he wished he had a nice lamb for his guest, so he stole out after dark and went to the nearest farm to try and find one. He nearly got caught, but he brought back the lamb, and when Mr. Wolf ar- rived he placed it before him. Mr. Wolf ate the lamb and finished the goose before he stopped to speak a word to his host. “You certainly set a fine table,” he said at last, “and now if you do not mind I will take a nap, for I feel sleepy enough after so heavy a meal.” So saying, he laid himself down in Mr. Fox’s particular corner and went to sleep, leaving Mr. Fox to finish his sup- per alone. “He is a greedy fellow.” he said, as he looked at Mr. Wolf sleeping in his warm bed; “he ate all the goose, besides his lamb, and I only had the hen: I wonder if he is going to stay all night?’ M*® WOLF did stay all night, and he stayed to breakfast the next morn- ing, too, and ate the last morsel of food that Mr. Fox had in the house. “He'll surely go before dinner,” thought Mr. Fox, but when dinner time came Mr. Wolf was still there. “What have you got for my dinner?” he asked. “You ate all I had for your break- fast,”’ replied Mr. Fox. “Well, go out and get me something, then,” said Mr. Wolf, looking very hard at Mr. Fox. Of course, he was larger than Mr. Fox, and Mr. Fox did not dare disobey. At last Mr. Wolf had been there three on bs and had made Mr. Fox bring him lamb and pigs at the risk of Mr. Fox's life. Mr. Fox began to use his wits, and you know that he is a sly fellow full of ideas when he needs them. “I know where there is plenty of meat to be had,” said Mr. Fox one morning. “Tt is stored in the cellar of the farm- house over the hill, but I am so small I can carry but one piece at time *Now, if you wish to come with me we can bring away more and then you can eat \all you want while you are there.” 6 Boe pian suited Mr. Wolf, as he had never had all he wanted to eat at one time ifn his life. When they reached the cellar Mr. Wolf fell upon the meat and ate and ate, but Mr. Fox kept a sharp lookout that no one Was coming and he ate very little. =~ ee ee’ “You must hurry and eat all you can,” said Mr. Fox, ‘“‘for someone inay come at any moment and we will have to run.’’ So Mr. Wolf went on eating faster than ever.

I thought rerhaps I could make up the thou- sand.”’ “You probably will and more, too, if he told you. I think when Senator Crispen tells you wrong he should make up your loss!"’ I grumbled with woman’s Inconsistency. “Thank you. Suel’’ Mildred replied when I called her up and told her Jack was going to buy Tank Line. “T had begun to think I was never to hear from you again!’ “This is the first thing Jack hag told me about!" I returned hotly, angered by her tone. “Well, you needn’t get mad about it. But don’t forget your promise!” “No danger of that,” I retorted. “Tf I should, I am sure you will remind me!”’ “Whatever's the matter, Sue? Do you want to quarre) with me?” “No, indeed,” I replied, fearing I had gone too far. “Im tired, and just a little cross, too, I guess.” “All right. I'll forgive you! but don’t do {t again!’’ and she laughingly called “Goodby!"’ and rang off. *“‘Mildred’s Manner Changes.” HAD noticed a decided change in | Mildred’s manner of late.

LEA«PERRINS A es: J thought nothing much of it, but now T wondered if Jack were right and the Somerses were troubled over money matters. Then, thinking of the large order she had just left with Lorraine, and the new limousine Ned had given her on her birthday, I dismissed the idea as ridic- ulous. I myself was often out of sorts, so why shouldn’t she be? Mother knew by this time that Jack speculated. It had been impossible to keep it from her. She did not say much about it, but mentioned that it accounted for his increasing nervous- ness. “Where will you stop, asked him one evening. “Oh—well, it I had fifty thousand clear I1'd never touch the market again. But I can’t get anywhere near that on the margin we have. It costs so much to live that I haven't the capital to make any large amount,” he explained. ‘You think you would stop, my dear boy, but you wouldn’t. When you had $50,000 you would want $100,000, and so it would go on.” “T know that’s the way with most people, motier; but I hate it! I’m afraid of it!’’ he. burst out. I felt my lip curl. Jack was acknowl- edging again that he was AFRAID, I never stopped to wonder of WHAT he was afraid, tMinking, of course, it was of losing money. So, thinking to brace him up, I twitted him with cowardice: with caring more for his own peace of mind, as represented in net trying to make more money, than he did for his family, whom he could, if he wished. make so independent and happy. Mother said nothing more to Jack. hut when we were alone she reopened the subject. “Susan, I am afraid for Jack.” "You too!"’ 1 sneered. “Mother States Her Fears.” “¢ ON’T use that tone, dear. 1 [) mean it. I’m afraid for Jack. He is of a peculiar disposition. He was honest when he said he was afraid of the stock market. Wasn't it the stock market that took all his father’s money?” “Ob, every one that speculates has to take some lorses,’’ I returned carelessly. “Jack says so himself. And really he has lost very little, considering.” “It isn’t that, it isn’t the losses he’s afraid of!" mother persisted. “What in the world is it, then? Flam?” “No, I don’t think it is Mr. Fiam. altogether.”’ “For heaven's sake, what then?” “Afraid of himself, dear; of the nola that speculating, gambling, {is getting on him." “Nonsense!

In his story there is no specutacular ‘‘jumping’’ from a low post to a high one. It is just the story of a young man who had the unique idea that he represented investei capital and set about gradually raising the rate of interest and adding to the ‘‘capital.”’ This yoyng man was ainbitious. He wanted, naturally, to increase his earn- ing power. And this is the idea he figured out: “I’m drawing $12 a week. That is the equivalent of interest, at 4 per cent, on $15,600. In other words, I represent to the firm an investment of $15,600. ‘In order to get a ‘raise’ I- must rep- resent a b'sger investment. If I am raised to $29 a week then I am, to the firm, an investmént of $26,000. Then |! must again make my rate of interest vield greater than the 4 per cent, $29 a week represents. “And so I must earn each raise by Praising my capitalization and justify each raise by increasing each time the rate of int2rest.’’ Unique idea, wasn’t it?

And to make so much without capital must naturally be very wearing. Of course I know nothing of the methods of the stock market, but I do know that Jack should stop speculating. He should stop at once. When a man honestly ac knowledges that he is afraid of what he is doing it is time that he stopped. For his own sake, and for the sake of those dependent upon him, and those thai love him. Urge him to atop, Susan, and then live more simply. You will be hap- pier in the end, I’m eure.” It was as I feared it might be. Moth- er was trying to get me to persuade Jack to stop making money in the mar- ket. She certainly would accomplish nothing with me. Why, we couldn’: possibly live on his salary. It was ri- diculous to suggest such a thing. But I gave no answer, making an excuse to leave the room, I was determined thax mother should know no more of my af- fairs than Was necessary. I, too, was AFRAID!

Manager Rickey still is making a fight for fifth place and for that reason he will keep his regulars in the line until the very windup. In doing this he may Slightly displease some of the faithful, but Branch announced today that he is not neglecting his recruits. “We play a full nine-inning game ev- ery morning and I have ample time then to study the voung players,’’ Rickey said. ‘In fact I get a more intimate in- sight into the capabilities of the young- sters in these workouts, as the games are keenly contested. “I intend to keep these morning tilts going to the end of the season, and should have a pretty good line on my young players when the sea- son ends,” The Browns will stage a double-head- er this afternoon with Washington, even though by doing so they will violate a If the price of meat advances— Do you think there’s any nutriment in hay?

At first thought the conditions seem to involve the simple proposi- tion: Can Hoppe count oftener at the American style than Inman can at the British. On this basis the matter might seem equal. But if Hoppe choose to employ the “rail” or the “chuck” nurse, both great count- ers, he ought to run away from his cpponent. & = * ‘‘Rail’’ Nurse Legal?” HE “rail nurse” was one style of play which Frank Ives em- ployed against British Champion Rob- erts, in connection with the “anchor shot.” With the anchor barred, and Pratt 2b.

In fact, it would not be sur- prising if Hoppe adhered to straight English methods, just to show that he can beat the Britons at their own game. In counting, the British expert at his own style, will compare favorably with the American at balk line. Inman can score runs of 150, perhaps 200, at English billiards, which is about the maximum of American belk-line speed. ' * British Feature Barred.

The “‘spot’’ is a pocket shot, the ball being placed Lack on the end rail after the player has, counted, it being a simpler matter for him to retain his position for a sim- ilar count on the next and many sguc- ceeding shots.

Of- ferings were ibe ht and there was no urg- ency in the Samael as brokers believe, that the advance at Liverpool was the result of manipulation. Closing cables on spot wheat being irregular, ‘un- changed to 1%d4 lower,’’ as contrasted ‘with ‘from 1 to Ad higher on futures.”’ The cause of the Liverpoo)] advance was given as the smaller shipments to En- gland, but this) should have affected the spot market as much, if not more, than it affected the futures, but spot wheat was lower instead of higher. Ry in the Northwest and at Win- apes were again heavy, and millers at neapolis were reported to be out of the market, New York reports that the forel &~ mand to a great extent is being switch from American wheat to Canadian rte that this is expecte’ to give the market a temporary seth Corn opened hir® wheat, and on sales, but the .. corn which was cHertag from the se. . Snow, back to ‘\eago Satur- day morning after a weeks trip in the leading corn and winter wheat territory says, in a wire to A. C, Petri: “Rains at the end of August came early enough to materially iraprove corn prospects in the Ohio Valiey, and Tilingis in particular will have a larger yield than was expected on Sept. 1. Missouri shows no particular change in prospect. In Kansas, Nebraska, South of the Platte and in Southern iowa the yield will prove eae The quality of the crop in all states named is distinctly poor, with an unusual per- centage of mouldy and worm-eaten corn. The apes of corn that could now be damaged by frost is al- most negligible. “Ordinarily the final corn crop is larger than the September indication, but this year there may be no im prove- went in the important states West of the Mississippi River. “A large acreage of winter wheat is being seeded, under splendid soll con- ditions, with early sown wheat already up and thrifty. An increased area is apparent, especially in Kanaas, va braska end Iowa, where conditions uf seeding and first growth are particular- ly favorable. “Rains since the end of August have brought fall pasture into splendid pasi- tion and there is now sufficient growth to carry cattle until late fall.” In the early part of the session, Sep- tember wheat was not mentioned.

May corn opened %c higher, at 7544c, and sold up to 76%c, but eased off again and was offered down to 75%c, with no more bids in the early part of the session.

The business would be larger were it for other times. The local talent has loaded up again pretty freely. The cash people say nothing doing in wheat. Its hard to get anything out of them on wheat. Don't seem disposed to give up their business. Broomhall’s cables were as follows: Liverpool, Sept. 19.—Wheat opened steady and later there was a further advance with heavy covering in De- cember. Firmness of Manito offers and decreasing pressure of wheat on the quay and expectations of lighter shipments this week caused the open- ing advance, Later speculators pur- chased freely of distant months with offers light. Unfavorable reports from Argentine and the strong advance in Rosa Rio with a growing belief that later offers will be strongly held and the broadening demand from outside countries led to support. Market closed very firm with prices 1 te 44 higher than yesterday. Corn firm. Plate spot continues to advance and there is a better general demand. Argentine spot is more firmly held and shipments from Danubian countries are expected to continue light.

A general alarm for the famous literary vagabond, king of the tango and heavyweight cham- pion of the English language, might have been sent out, only generally no one was alarmed. Neither was Mr. Jarr surprised when he met the elusive Mr. Dinkston, as he dropped off a street car. “Mr. Dinkston consulted his wrist Watch (yes, his wrist watch) and re- marked: “IHiow fortunate I have no other en- Ragement and can accept your invita- tion to dine.”’ “But I didn’t invite you to dine!’’ blurted Mr. Jarr. “In fact, Dinkston, 1 couldn't invite you if I wished to.

And he jotted down the ftem that he owed Mr. Jarr a dime carfare. Signal- ing the car to stop at the first sign of the three golden balis, Mr. Dinkston and Mr. Jarr alighted, and the former led the way into the pawn broker's estab- lishment. A heavy set man with a strongly marked face, over which hung a mur- derous scowl, greeted them with a snar). “What will you do with me for this, ?” asked Mr. Dinkston atrily, 4 he iald the wrist watch on the scowling pawn broker picked it up around the counter to the doorway.

It is so different with silly girl wives. My wife was no silly girl. Thank goodness. When I had spoken thus looked at me appealingly. Woman's mission is submission. But so many men never discover it. I was not as other men. Men never are until after they marry. As I said, my wife looked at me ap- pealingly in response to my decisive re- mark. “Won't I?’ she replied, with a snap in her eyes that dazzled me. % I have been dazzled ever since. That was © years ago. I have never had occasion to speak to my wife in that manner since. But it isn’t every man who learns as readily as I did.

EGINALD loved his wife tenderly and devotedly, but he had to ac- knowledge in the inmost recesses of his heart that the hand that wielded the powder puff lost its art in the pudding basin. “What pudding would you like tonight, love?’ she cooed at breakfast time. “Oh, anything!” he whispered desper- ately. “Anything?” pained tone. “Well, you know, old girl; anything light—only don’t tire yourself out.” ‘You shall have your favorite—cus- tard, dear,”’ she promised. Toward 7 o'clock Reginald returned, but the sound of weeping and gnashing of teeth greeted his trained ear. ““‘Whatever is it, my dear girl?’ he im- plored, ag he rushed into the kitchen. she refterated, in a *‘O-0-0-oh!” ghe sniveled on his waist- coat, “I’ve been making you custards all the afternoon, and”"*—— “And what, pet?’ “They all t-t-turned out sponge cakes!’ A Cure for Hechiors. R R. WATERSON, one of the nine a deportees from South Africa. speaking at Ldverpool, introduced to the English platform a method ot silencing an interrupter which was as novel as it was effective. It con- sisted in his telling the interrupter % story about another interrupter. “There was once a meeting,” he said, “addressed by a great speaker, and he was constantly interrupted, as I have been; but he turned on the interjector and gave him a rough passage. At the end of the meeting a young lady went to the speaker and said: I think you were rather hard on him.’ ‘Why,’ said the speaker, ‘he was embarrassing me and deserved the dressing down I gave him.’ ‘Yes, rejoined the lady, ‘but you were very hard on him all the same. He is an idiot.’ ” Waterson, needless to say, had a perfectly attentive audience for the rest of his oration. A Gentus. AM more than ever convinced that Phadds, the amateur clairvoyant, is a genius.’ “What makes you think so?’ “Why, when the orchestra approaches the finish of a selection he can accu- retely prophesy the final squeal at least sixteen blasts before the end comes.’’ _ ane - and Read Our ANNOUNCEMENT This Evening U ‘ Eo /z JV 4s, WY Y, ENTIRE BLOCK: OLIVE, LOCUST, sixTH AND.
