The Germans had, however, for a long time previous, prepared the way for the attack on Antwerp by taking a number of towns in its vicinity. The first direct attack on the Antwerp fortifications was againat the forts at Waehelm and Wavre—St. Catherine's. These were reported by the Germans as being reduced im a couple of days by the aid of the big siege guns. Reports from Belgian sources declare these works were destroyed by the defenders, who retired to more advantageous positions. Meanwhile the forte at Lierne and Koningshoyckt also had been attacked, and these and others of the outside line of fortifications were taken lIast week. The last few days has seen the fighting advance to the inner line of forts and along the Seheldt, prineipally at Schoonaerde. At the last- named place severe fighting occurred for severa! days, but the superior artillery of the Germans gradually forced the Belgians back until in the last day or two the fighting had reached virtually to the suburbs of On Wednesday, Oot. 7, came reports that the Belgian Government was moving to Ostend, and that day also brought reports that the popu- lation was fleeing in terror toward the Holland frontier. . Zeppelin bomb attacks, which did much damage, and killed scores of people, added to the terror of the inhabitants. The German forces, which have taken Antwerp, are said to con- sist of five army corps. ‘They were under the command of Gen. Hans H. von Beseler, a veteran of the war of 1870, who was taken from his retirement to do the work of reducing Antwerp. Gen. De Gnise was in command of the Belgian defenders. King Albert aided them by his personal direction almost to the last, having quit Antwerp, according to reports only yesterday morning, ey when the end was seen. Antwerp is 180 miles from London and in England the fear has been expressed that with this city as a German base, Zeppelin airships could be used to attack the English coast line and even London., The distance from Antwerp to the English coast is less than 100 miles. Antwerp is on the River Scheldt. This river, before it enters the North Sea, flows through the Netherlands territory. Under ex- isting conditions it would be impossible for Germany to use Antwerp for a naval base without violating the neutrality of the Netherlands. heavy batteries and withdrew to rejoin their comrades, who previously had evacuated their positions. The forts around Contich, six miles southeast of Antwerp, are said to be still intact and the duel between them and the German artillery was reported as still proceeding this morning. The outcome cannot be in doubt, it having been conclusively proved in the last two months that permanent forts in an exposed situation stand no chances against modern siege howitzers. The strategic importance of Antwerp to the Germans arose largely from the fact of its menace to their lines ‘of communication. With the Belgian army withdrawn to a position half way between Antwerp and Ostend, the pressure on these lines will be removed at least temporarily. But at the same time there would appear to be little obstacle to the Belgians effecting a junction with the allies working to the northward in West Flanders. London Papers Ask What Germany Will Do With City. Commenting onthe situation in Belgium before it was known officially that Antwerp actually had fallen, English newspapers asked this morning with optimism what the conquerors were going to do with Antwerp when they had it, particularly in view of the fact that it is conceded that no fort can stand against artillery such as is used in modern warfare. The opin- ion was generally expressed that should the allies later attack Antwerp, there would be a repetition of what already has taken place; that is to say, the German garrison could not hold out against them. Dispatches attempting to analyze the Germans’ plan of campaign witb Antwerp in their hands, declare that the German purpose is to sweep over Northern France, with the object of taking possession of the channel ports and thus bring the warfare nearer England. German newspapers are pre- dicting the use of this Northern Belgian position as a base for operations against England. Antwerp suffered terribly from the bombardment and the losses among the civilian population have been heavy. Jhe city was crowded not only with its normal population of more than 300,000 persons, but also with other thousands who had sought refuge there on account of the German in- vasion. Antwerp Refugees Now Burdening England and Holland. All stories coincide in relating the terrible suffering and mental torture of these unfortunates struggling to leave the danger zone. Many are said to have been marooned by the destruction of a potttoon bridge over the River Scheldt. While the vast bulk of the refugees are now burdening Hol- land, thousands later will come to England, where other thousands already are being cared for. Just how much damage has been done to Antwerp, particularly to the edifices of historic interest, it will take some time to determine. Some of the refugees say that the Cathedral of Notre Dame has been badly dam- aged, while others say this is not so. All reports agree that the Germans entered the city by way of the suburb of Berchem. With Antwerp taken, the Germans will now be able to detach the con- siderable force used during the siege of the city and transfer these men to their right wing near the French-Belgian frontier, which has been sorely pressed. “ae The moral effect of the fall of Antwerp is not minimized in Engiand. The city was called by Napoleon, ‘a pistol pointing at the heart of En- giand.” The seaport long has been one of the greatest of Burope, re- sembling in a sense Liverpool! and the River Mersey. Tt*is estimated here that no fewer than 400,000 Germans are in Belgium today. Conditions Before the Fall. Antwerp before the fall of the city.

The main streets are deserted, but there are 20,000 panicky people on the quays and around the railroad station waiting to leave. The town is in flames throughout the south- ern section and no attempt is being made to quench them.” The Chronicle’s Rosendaal (Holland) correspondent, under date of Friday, said the situation in Antwerp was crit- ical, and that the town was virtually deserted except for the Belgian troops. ‘Every house here,’’ the correspondent continues, ‘‘is packed to the roof with refugees, and other refugees are camp- ing around the railroad stations. Ant- werp’s civil guard was disbanded Wednesday.’ “Stubborn fighting is proceeding be- fore the Antwerp fortifications,’ said the Daily Mail's Ostend correspondent, telegraphing Friday. “Four assaults have been repulsed at No. 4 fort at Viauxdieu. The bombardment of the town appears to be diminishing some- what in intensity.’ No Means of Departing by Railway. The situation in Antwerp is terrible, said a dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Co. from Hulst, Belgium, sent at mid- night. Many streets have been destroyed in the bombardment and the populace, panic-stricken and driven from _ their homes with their children and old peo- ple, are sleeping in the roads in the outlying districts. There is no means of departing by railway. A dispatch to the Daily Antwerp said: “The bombardment of Antwerp con- tinued throughout Thursday, increasing tremendously in fury toward 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Enormous damage was done in the southern quarter of the city, the German shells spreading fire and death over a large area. “The cathedral (the Church of Notre Dame) was only. siightly damaged Thureday. The shells set fire to more than 50 oil stands along the river and the far-reaching flare from this great fire added to the panic among the peo- ple remaining in the city. “There are over a quarter of a million people flocking through the roads into the open country in an ef- fort to escape.

The long extension of the battle line, which now has gone beyond the four rivers, Scarpe, Somme, Oise and Aisne, was initiated by the allies in an endeavor te find a solution of the problem of ousting the Germans from their strong position in northeastern France. In these positions the Germans had been besieged nearly a month, since the con- clusion of the battle of the Marne, a frontal atiack being considered inexpedient by the allies. The present front is within about 68 miles ef Antwerp, where the Belgians have offered heroic resistance of the bom- bardment of the heavy German artillery. Belgian officers who have arrived here from Antwerp declare the Belgians themselves destroyed forts Wailhem and Waevre-St. Catherines. Fierce Fighting at Roye; Rheims Again Bombarded. Further down toward the center of the line the severest fightin continued today at Roye, where the allies took a large number of prison- ers. Rheims again was subjected to a short bombardment. In other parts of the center the opposing forces remain constantly alert. The capnonade has diminished in intensity and the allied troops occupying the trenches are becoming thoroughly accustomed to the sit- uation. Many of them spend the intervals between the spats of rifle firing reading newspapers to their comrades beneath the bomb-pross shelters. The allied artillerymen reply with vigor whenever a German cannon opens fire. The men throw themselves on the ground when they hear the peculiar tearing noise of the enemy’s shell and, consequently, the casualties in this section are few. At night everybody is at high tension and few noises are heard. Aa occasional dull signa, lamp or a lantern, witb its light turned away, from the German lines, indicates the number of a brigade or a division occupying the position and permits the rare dispatch of a rider on a motorcycle to find his way along the rear to the commanding officers. Ail around tho air is full of dust and sand thrown up by shell splinters, while the odor from. the ex- plosives is intense. British Commands Whispered F rom Mouth to Mouth. The French and Germans still generally utilize bugle calis and when they are heard, searchlights immediately are flashed out. The British com- mands, however, are whispered along the trenches from mouth to mouth so that even in the silence of the night no sound reaches the ears of the Ger- mans in their trenches not so far away and no indication is given of any proposed movement or attack until it is in full swing. On the Eastern wing the fighting is still very fierce around St. Mihiel with many night attacks, The Germans are extremely clever in constructing blind trenches against which the allies’ fire is often directed while the Germans actually are posted some distance away in other trenches from which they can pour im an en- filading fire.

McCutcheon and Comrades, Prisoners of Germans, Got Sour Looks but Generous Meals From Captors in Belgium. BY JOHN T. MeCUTCHEON, Staff Correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Germany, Sept. 15. all the disagreeable sensations Which « parfectly innocent person may feel, the seust unpleasant is that of be- considered a spy in times of war. the physical consequences unpleasant to contemplate, but the psyvhological effect upon one’s bearing and actions is humiliating. When I was taken Into the guard- house at Beaumont and confined In a small room with a French suspect, a Belgiun suspect, five Americans, one megro chauffeur, and some French and Belgian prisoners of war, the sensation was far from exhilarating. A serious looking sentry stood in the doorway and another stood at the one window which opened on the street. To this window came scores of soldiers, who looked in at us and muttered un- pleasant things about spies. In their eyes we were all spies and necessarily guilty because we were under confine- ment. There was not a friendly face at the window, for no matter how friendly the Germans may be to those they know to be all right, they certainly do not feel friendly to those they believe to be spies in league with the enemy. Spies Never Popular. There is no doubt that everyone of the men who glared at us would gladly have taken his place in a firing squad de- tailed to finish us off. I don't blame them for feeling that way. A spy is mever a popular figure in an enemy’s oan p. Constantly we (McCutcheon and his four newspaper companions), heard the words “Englanders” and ‘‘spion.”” The scrutiny was most unpleasant and we finally asked the Lieutenant if we might go Inside a neighboring cafe. He gave permission, first having put us on our honor not to attempt to escape. After we had given our word, we went inside, and our armed guard was instructed to go in with us. From that time on, day and night, a guard sat with us. The little cafe had a small front room in which was a bar, two or three tables, and a stove. Behind the barroom was a dark passage and then a rather home- like and cheerful dining room with: al- bums, canary birds, and household bric- a-brac in it. Beyond this was a glass inclosed court, about 14 feet wide and 16 Jong, and behind this was an open space upon which opened the kitchen. There was no exit in the rear, for a high wall surrounded the tiny court- yard, and the only way of egress from the premises was by the front door, within which always sat a soldier with rifle and fixed bayonet. Within the limits of the premises, 60 feet long and M4 wide, we were permit- ted to range at will, but we could not &o vttt on the street. Our guard was taciturn but not un- friendly, Once in a while little groups of soldiers would come in and out for wine or beer and these, except upon One occasion, were uniformly friendly. Upon this one occasion, however, three soldiers came in and one of them had been drinking. He asked us who we were, and Hansen (Harry Hansen of the Chicago Daily News), who speaks German, told him that we were Ameri- cans. This did not seem to convince him. He was sure We were spies and that we were a dangerous menace to himself and his country. We observed him as he discussed us with his two compan- jons and his attitude was most disquiet- ing. If he continued in this hostile mood. and also became,more intoxicated, there was no telling what he might suddenly decide to do. Speech Betrayed Them. He stared at us fixedly, or as fixedly as’ his condition permitted, and the more he stared the more truculent he became. When we spoke to one an- other he muttered to his companions: “See, they betray themselves. They speak English. If they are Americans, as they claim to be, why don’t they #epeak American?’ He then wove his way unsteadfly to- ward where we were sitting and began asking questions. Hansen answered him civily and by great tact and pa- tience finally convinced the man that we were what we professed to be. We gave him cigars, for it seemed most important that the man be molli- fied before he had a chance to leave the cafe in a suspicious, unfriendly mood. He might easily have spread the report among new arrivals that there were spies in the cafe and the consequences to us might have been disastrous. Intoxication Is Rare. When he left with his two compan- jons, who were quite sober, he was con- vinced that we were all right. it is only fair to say, at this point, that intoxication, as far as I have been able to observe, is extremely rare in the German army. Except for this one scidier. and one other that I saw at Brussels, | have seen no soldier under the influence of lNquor. In the evening of our first day in the loned officer Was put-in charge of us. He had been wounded and was carrying his right arm in a sling. In this conditions he hed walked 2 miles and was detailed to light @uty tn Beaumont. I don’t know what his tnetructions ‘were, but he startled us somewhat by announcing that we were prisoners. He made no pretense that we were guests, temporarily detained, and his attitude at-firet was that of an officer te whom (i. lh Not only are bility of watching a band of dangerous sples. He was a good fellow at heart, how- ever, and before we saw the last of hirm he had most companionable, as well as for our comfort. We had nothing to eat, so he went out and got rye bread. Also he pur- sued his search still further and came in with several bottles of wine. Wine Plenty. Food was scarce, but of wine there was ap abundance Twenty thousand bottles of rare old wine had been found in the Prince de Caraman Chimay’s cellars, and some of this had been commandeered by the soldiers. For dinner we had rye bread and old Bordeaux, probably worth many dollars a bottle / And that night, thanks to our lew “xceber,” we had splendid beds on the half\dozen mattresses which were arranged on the floor of the cafe. The suspected spies in the guard room, which was overcrowded with French and Belgian prisoners, were brought in and added to our party. The Congo negro was left {In the guardhouse. We slept with our clothes on, as we had done in the schoolhouse the night before, and as we were to do for sev- eral nights following. Two soldiers were stretched out near the front door; one soldier sat up all night with his rifle and the young non- commissioned officer was in and out frequently during the night. That the light on the bar should not shine {in our eyes, he propped up some pleces of cardboard as screens, and be- fore we went to sleep we heard him talking to the soldiers. “My children,” he said (he was only about 26), “you must behave well, like German soldiers. You must not drink too much, for if you get drunk, no mat- ter how much I like you, I will have you sent to. prison for seven years.”’ Seven vears’ imprisonment is the Ger- man penalty for drunkenness while on duty. Our dinner was quite memorable the next night. The noncommissioned offi- cer, who seemed to have a genius for finding things to eat, came in with two chickens and some eggs, which added to our wine and rye bread, made a ban- quet such as kings might envy. Ready to Move at Once. For dessert we had the information that we were to be reaay to leave in two hours. We were ready in a minute, having nothing to pack but our two loaves of bread and the jar of honey. At 9 o’clock in the evening an officer care and told us we were to march to the railway station with a column of English and French prisoners. We were not to march tn with the prisoners, but were to walk along on the side, between the German guards, and if there was a break for liberty, we were to shout a warning. The scene tin the square at Beaumont the prisoners were assembled was one of the striking I have ever seen. The square was dark, ex- cept for the strong light of some army automobiles. Except for the limited area illuminated by the glare of these lights, the figures were shadowy and indistinct. There were three English officers and about 8%) English soldiers, one French officer and 150 French soldiers, some of whom were Algerians, in their strange soldier garb, eight Belgians, and our own party of one Frenchman, one Bel- gian and six Americans. hecome solicitous Ws some Food Scarce, when most Prisovers Warned. The French prisoners were massed together, and the English were 4as5- sembled behind them. In the dim light of the darkened plaza the German offi- cer, Lieut. Mittendorfer, spoke a few words to the young French officer, who repeated them in French to his coun- trymen. He asked that they do nothing that would bring discredit: that théy com- mit no overt act, and that they make no effort to escape. They were adjured to conduct themselves with calmness and dignity. Doubtless the same instructions were given to the English prisoners, although I did not hear them given. The crowd of prisoners was siient. There was no talking, as the German officers formed them into lines. The French prisoners looked rather motiey, partly because of their absurd uniforms and partiy because they had probably had no opportunity to clean up for some time. East End Represented. The English uniforms were approprt- ate and soldierly looking, but the ma- jority of the men were undersized and far from smart-looking. They looked like recruits from the docks and the Kast End of London As they were being formed in line one of them, a thorough type of an east-ender, mut- tered as he stood by us: “Just wite till England ‘ears ‘ow we've been treated!

Every man of them seemed especially eager For the French they apparently had only a casual Interest, but we could constant ly hear the inquiries about the English. There is no doubt that Germany would rather defeat England than either France or Russia. The people feel that England's attitude is actuated chiefly by a desire to cripple its strongest commer- cial competitor and they feel that En- gland would not have declared war un- less it had first seen that France and lussia had united against Germany. Consequently the time seemed ripe for England to jump in and help crush its rival. As nearly as 1 can judge this is what the Germans believe to be true and it explains why they are particularly bit ter against England. Queer Customs Appear.

So the invasion of Russian territory by the German forces in East Prussia has resulted in a disastrous defeat for them. On the left bank of the Vistula our successes in Galicia, threat- ening the Silesian frontier, compelled the Germans to con- centrate large forces along this front, with which our troops are now engaged. In east Galicia and in a’ large part of western Galicia, now occupied by our troops there has been no note- worthy change. Forcing their way into Hun- gary, after effecting the passage of the Carpathian mountains, the Russian troops have defeated an Austrian detachment and have taken the cities of Munkacs and Marmaros-Sziget. Thus it is clear that the opera- tions in East Prussia and on the Galician front have resulted in considerable gains for the Russian army. On the left bank of the Vistula the battle is still raging.

The northern parts of the valleys of the Narev, the Niemen and the Vis- tula, this paper says, are protected by the fortresses of Kovno and Grod- no. Both of them have been strength- ened considerably during recent years and it ig admitted that their reduction, should this become necessary, would be a big task. More important than Kovno and Grodno, however, is the Fortress of Warsaw and tts belt of outer forts and military works, this system forming the main barrier. According to latest Russian reports, the Warsaw system is armed with about 140 guns of all calibers and many machine guns, while about #000 ren form the garrison of the belt. Warsaw is the center of the three great military districts of Western Russia, which in times of peace are occupied by about five army corps. The Vistula waterway and the rall- roads running into Warsaw are aiso protected by the fortification at Nowo Georigiewsky. which Ig admitted to be a very strong position. A_ third factor in the defense of the Vistula V “ey and Central Russian Poland its the fortress Zegrshe, which, with the forts of Nowo Georgtewsky and Warsaw. forms a line of fortification 190 kile- meters (830 miles) long.

BOARD ALMOST AGREED 10 BACK COTTON POOL Members Are Satisfied Plan to Lend $150,000,000 Is Good One, but Needs Caution. By Associated Press. WABHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Forma! sanc- tion by the Federal Reserve Board of the plan for a_ $150,000,000 cotton loan fund to be raised by private interests virtually was assured as a result of a conference today between the board and St. Louis bankers who originated the project. The board planned to meet again late today to discuss details of this scheme by which its backers hope to take care of the surplus cotton crop of the coun- try. The subcommittee of the board, consisting of Gov. Hamlin, Paul M. Warburg and W. P. G. Harding, report- ed in favor of the principal embodied in it. It became known, however, that the board is anxious not to create the im- pression that it is in any way demand- ing that bankers help raise the fund. While the board is said to agree that the plan is a good One, it does not wish to lay itself open to indorsing future schemes of the same kind which may not be #0 attractive in their backing or their objects. Aside from its moral sup- port the board will have as little to do with the whole matter as possible, and it is not considered probable that it will be willing to apportion the amounts to be contributed by various banks as was done in connection with the §$100,000,- 000 gold poo) to meet foreign obliga- tions of American merchants In connection with Government ald to cotten producers, Secretary McAdoo, in a letter to Representative Henry Sharp ly criticising the plan for direct Federal ar ‘istance to cotton growers to the ex- tent of $400,000,900, pointed out that the treasury had issued 968,900,000 in cur- rency to national banks in the cotton States since the beginning of thé Eu- ropean war and that in compliance with law, there aré $151,900,000 more in ad- ditional national bank currency avail- able for banks of the South. The secretary in his letter stated: “If we disregard every suffering inter- est except cotton,’ he said, ‘and make it the sole beneficiary of governmental favor, what becomes of the democratic principle of ‘Equal rights for all; special privileges to none?’ “Tf we enter upon the course vou sug- gest you must help every distressed in- dustry impartially. To do that would necessitate the issue of many more than $4000,000,000 in bonds and greenbacks and dangerously involve the credit of the Government. It would be a hopeless undertaking, in defiance of every sound principle of finance and economics, with certain disaster at the end.’’ Treasury Balance Not Heavy. Referring to Henry’s statement that there were in the treasury ‘“‘several hun- dred millions’’ Mr. McAdoo said he did not have the right to deposit this amount exclusively in the south. “If the Government,’ wrote the Sec- retary, ‘had several hundred million dol- lars in the Treasury Congress would not be engaged now in passing a new tax bill to repair the loss in revenues oc- casioned by the European War.’’ McAdoo also stated that what really wanted was a restored for cotton. “The valué of cotton has been in- jured this year by the European war,” he said. “This injury cannot be re- trieved nor the market restored bv legislation any more than the injury to corn which was caused by the drought last year in the great corn estates of the west could have been re- paired by legislation.”’ Wars inarket Halts Womae Seeking Death in River A woman who said she was Mrs. Marie la Fere Brame, a widow, 3% years old, of 822 Market street, was walking toward the river when A&A patrolman stopped her at Third street and Wash- ington avenue about 4:4 o'clock this morning.

Another attempt to arouse opposition to a bond issue to complete the free bridge was launched in the House of Delegates last night by Delegate John R. MeCarthy, leader of the Alton and Mississippi grab supporters. McCarthy's resolution, directing the Railroad Committee to investigate the laying of tracks by the Alton & South- ern Railway on each side of the located bridge approach In Fast St. Louis, was adopted by the House, and a report will be made by the committee by Oct. 20, in time to be effective, the A. & M. forces hope, before the bridge bond election Nov. 6. ‘ On the theory that the tracks laid re- cently by the Alton & Southern “bottie”’ the bridge approach, McCarthy demand- ed an investigation. There were innum- erable parallel tracks north and south of the approach before, and the Alton & Southern itself has demonstrated that thése tracks are not impassable By get- ting permits from the Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Commission to cross them at grade in Paat St. Louls. This was shown by the Citizens’ Bridge Committee at public hearings last spring in the House of Delegates. Delegate Whalen, another A. & M. supporter, acting as chairman of the Railroads Committee in the absence of Chairman Gallagher, announced that in- vitations would be issued to all civic organizations to accompany the commit- tee to Fast St. Louis one day next week, to inspect the proposed terminus of the bridge approach.

Oct. 10.—The Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad to be sold at public auction at ty courthouse here at a date ito be is determined soon. The last legal detail advertising the property for sale was settled today when Judge Mayer of the United States District Court signed the decree of foreclosure and sale. Sam- vel Untermyer, representing certain minority bondholders, endeavored to in- tervene in the foreclosure proceedings at the last minute, but his application was denied Default in payment of interest on 4 per cent «sold bonds resulted in fore- closure proceedings by the Centra! Trust Co.. trustee of the bondholders. The amount of such bonds and the in- terest due thereon is $74,098,000. The auction sale wil! be unlike the or- dinary Sheriff's sale, conducted under the hammer, in at least one respect; every bidder must show his money be- fore he can bid. The Court decreed that before anyone could bid he must deposit $350,000 in cash with the atc- tioneer. If the bidder possessed’ the railroad’s bonds in plenty, he might put up $5,000,000 of these bonds instead. The highest bidder will take the rail- road, the Court decreed, but he must deposit, as a first payment $1,000,000 in spot cash. in addition to the $360,000, or $10,000,000 in railroad bonds. In case the successful bidder fails to raise the rest of the purchase price he will lose the $350,000 in cash or the $5,000,000 in bonds in the auctioneer's hands. preliminary to PHILADELPHIA GIRL VISITS ALASKA GLACIERS Mountain Climber Reports Ad- vanoing and Retreating Movements in Ice SEATTLE, Wasb., Oct. 10.—Miss Dora Keen of Philadelphia, widely known as a mountain climber, sailed on thé steam- ship Admiral Watson last night from Valdez, Alaska, where she went eatly in August to explore the glaciers and flords at the head of Prince William Sound.

M. HURLED 25 FEET; MAY DIE One of Party Falls to Railway Track; Pitcher’s Collar Bone Broken. Earl Hamilton, one of the St. Louis Browns’ star pitchers, was seriously in- jured and one of five women companions was so badly hurt that doctors say she will die, as the result of a disastrous climax to a joy riding party in Hamil- ton’s automobile at1la.m. today. Hdm- ilton’s left collar bone was broken. The machine, driven by Hamilton, was speeding across Eads Bridge toward Kast St. Louis when it struck the high railing which separates the depressed train approach from the surface road- way at the east end of the bridge. The woman believed to have been fatally tnjured was Pearl Kelly of 2940 Lucag avenue. She was huried from the front seat of the automobile, over the high railing and on to the train tracks, a drop of about 25 feet. Girl Probably Will Die. Her skull was fractured, her right leg was broken in two places and her right collar bone was broken. Dr. Royal Tharp, at St. Mary's Hospital, East St. Louls, said there was no chance for her recovery. The other four women and their in- juries were: Nellie Wass, 30 years old, 2940 Lucas avenue, face bruised and head cut. Rose Burke, 19, 294 Lucas avenue, jaw fractured. m2 Evelyn Redford, 240 Lucas avenue, scalp wounds and bruises. Anna Kelly, 29, 620 North Garrison avenue, left leg and arm badly bruised, cuts on face and shoulders. Going 40 Miles an Hour. There is a regulation that automo- biles crossing Eads Bridge must slow down to 10 miles an hour. Policeman Moynihan of East St. Louis, today told a Post-Dispatch reporter he saw Ham- iiton’s machine cross the bridge at 40 or }# miles an hour. ; The machine struck the railing with such force that all the occupants were thrown out. Hamilton was more than % feet from the automobile when picked up unconscious. In addition to the fracture of his left collarbone there Was a long cut on his left cheek. Apparentiy Hamilton’s face had struck some sharp object which completely pen- etrated the cheek. Dr. Tharp said it would take three and possibly four months for the broken collarbone to krmit. For most of that time Hamilton’s famous pitching arm must remain in a sling. The doctor said the fracture would not necessarily pre- vent him from pitching again, though in some cases a break of this kind after- ward interferes with the free movement of the arm when extended above the head, Hamilton, according to East St. Louis policemen, has been a frequent night visitor to East St. Louis places of amusement and road houses.

(Scribners.) , “PROBLEMS OF CHILD WELFARE.” ROF GEORGE B. MANGOLD, 4di- re rector of the St. Louls Scahool ef Social Economy of Washington University, has issued a new book deal- ing with the child. This book will prob- ably be to the study of children what Werner's ‘“‘American Charities” is to the problem of charity in the United States. All possible phases of the subject are treated in Dr. Mangold’s “Problem of Child Welfare.”” The work is carefully prepared and inoorporates the latest findings and figures. Dr. Mangold starts with births and birth rates and closes with a chapter in which he shows what can be done to save the children for the nation. He calls attention to the truth that high birth rates do not necessarily mean in- creased population, Usually high birth rates and high death rates go hand in hand. It ts therefore best to have lower birth rates coupled with lower death rates, since from the point of view of population this is more beneficial and more wholesome, A great deal is said in the book about “The Ranch at the Wolverine.” By B.

The phys- ically defective could be mede useful with the proper training. Another subject of great importance to St. Louis at this time is the wider use of the school plant. The public is be- gimning to realize that the school plant! can be made a dynamic force in the communal life of the city, if it were opened to the citizens for discussion of civic and social problems, entertain- ments, lectures, etc. Such an experi- ment is to be carried on this winter in St. Louis. All through the book important re- forms in connection with child welfare are discussed. But the author does not forget that there is an economic sub- stratum to work with children, as there is to child labor. Dr. Mangold makes a plea for more training in economics and politics on the part of social work- ers, so that they may better grasp the conditions they dea] with and the neces- sary remedies. Dr. Mangold touches on the fact that until recently the social workers in their conferences restricted themselves to dis- cussions of methods of philanthropy and left out all fundamental problems in eco- nomics. He is glad to notice that in the last national conference there was quite a change in attityde on the part of the social workers. They touched upon fundamental problems and their relation to poverty, disease and crime. Dr. Mangold’s new book, like his for- mer book, “Child Problems,’’ {sg stimu- lating and authoritative and will un- Aoubtedly be used as a textbook by col- leges and universities because of its thoroughness. It is a book that should be read by everybody, for the problems of child welfare concern everybody.

BORGHD BARR McCUTCHEON, GS who beat all of the wise §e0g~ raphers and intrepid explorers ty the discovery of the Principality of Crraustark, continues to draw treasures ol fiction from the rich, romantic soil or that charming land. His latest contribution to the chaplex is “The Prince of Graustark,” a book that is full of action and interest an fully up to the standard of the other Graustark tales from the same hand. In one respect this book is notable. It has one of the most smashing and startling climaxes that ever hit a reader in his mental solar plexus. To indicate the nature of this climax would be to give away tne authors tremendous se- cret. The reader must find it for him- self. Without revealing too much it may be inficated that the ruling Prince of Graustark comes to America and, ‘n consequence, there is a flutter in that section .of American society which babitually exchanges heiresses for titles. In this class is William Blithers, a rather rough-edged but extremely power- ful multimillionaire. He sets about to capture the Prince for his daughter. This is entirely out of Hne with the tlang of the royal house of Graustark, which is bent on matching the Prince with the reigning Princess of another royal house in the country adjoining Graustark. The Prince starts for Europe. By 2 coincidence, so does Miss Blithers. There is a meeting on shipboard and the Frince learns to love his fair traveling companion, She eludes him tn Paris and goes to the capital of Graustark. He follows her. There is an swful row when the elder statesmen of Graustark learn that an American heiress is gunning for the Trince. And then comes the climax. (Dodd, Mead & Co.) W mere man, if there is anything in a name, has the temerity to tackle the suffrage issue in ‘“Wild Mue- tard,’’ which he calls ‘“‘A seven day’ chronicle.’’ The title is suggested by the character of the heroine, who a spirited girl reared in the healthy surroundings of a big country hore. As everybody who has lived in the country knows, wild mustard has a bite and so has our heroine: not a lit- eral bite, of course—heaven forefend!- but a mental one, a sharp, snappy ton- gue given to the utterance of clever speeches that are the terror of those at whom they are aimed and the de- light of those who only hear and never feel them. The deeds of a militant suf- fragette exert a powerful influence on her life and slie is drawn from the de- lightful peace of the country into the maelstrom of active suffragettism in a big city. We are not going to tell you any more about it except to hint that by a quaint process of evolution she be- comes an “anti’’ and that she makes it mustard-hot for everybody who dares to take the other side. She has some great ideas for reforming the suffra- gettes and they work out with startling effect. (Lippincott.)

Ross for his latest work, “The Old World in the New.” In this book Prof. Ross has col- lected his articles which appeared re- cently tn magazine form. He is sup- posed to have observed the various groups of immigrants and noted. their worth to America. Unfortunately this book will not add to Prof. Ross’ reputation as a sociolo- gist. He has done very good work be- “Sin and Society” and his “Social Control’’ have gained for him & well-deserved reputation. Those who have read his other works will be sore- begin with, it fs a rather careless piece of work. If Prof. Ross meant to give the psychology of the various groups of immigrants, he certainly failed. He has put together the things everybody says about these immigrahts, everybody who objects to immigrants. As a rule, Prof. Ross writes with vision. But in this case his vision has failed him. He cannot see the man be- neath the bedraggled clothes and fur- rowed face. To one group he objects be- cause they are not intellectual. Another he censures for being intellectual. He objects because some groups work too hard and another group he denounces for seeking lighter occupations. The book is fllogical. Anyone trying to estimate the value of immigrant groups by the first inflow is unscientific. The way to judge is by the yardstick of time, and not the im- mediate present. Prof. Ross owes the immigrant population of America an apology for his unwarranted attack on every group. As usual, his work is very readable. It is interesting because its author has an interesting style. The more is the pity that such a man did not take the time to prepare a careful work on this im- portant subject. (The Century.)

To the Editor ef the Post-Dispatch. If we were to hear the report that Paris or Berlin or New York had discontinued its sym- ~~ “phony orchestras for lack of financial support, the news would occasion considerable astonish: ment. Iam not suggesting a comparison between either of these cities and St. Louis, but J make bold to say that our orchestra, as it is now con- stituted, ig fust as vital to the further progress of our city as a similar institution in any of the Furopean capitals. Man does not live by bread alone, and a discontinuance of our annual series ef concerts would be similar to turning oack the wheels of progress fully 30 vears. What is a symphony orchestra? It is an or- ganization of expert musicians led by a sondug- tor of experience and ideals, which brings home to our consciousness in terms of beautiful and thril- + ling tones, the highest spiritual message of the (3 Sreat tonepoets.

Another crimp is put in the Southern [linois Traction Co. by the indictment of Lorimer and his partner, Gallagher, for misapplication of funds of the La Salle Street National Bank. Lorimer and Gallagher were in the contracting business and the bank’s funds were used to take up their worthless notes. The Southern Illinois Traction Co., now in the hands of receivers, was one of Lorimer’s projects. In the hands of receivers and tangled up in the doubtful dealings of a bank wrecker the Southern lilinois Traction Co. is not a likely partner for St, Louis in providing termina! facilities for the municipal bridge. It offers little promise of be- ing able to build the loop if the franchise stands. The Lorimer taint justifies the city, if there were not other pressing considerations, in acting upon ita reserved right to wipe out the franchise and begin over again to plan for trolley terminals. The city now has the power to build adequate terminals for all lines using the bridge, including the Southern should it recover from its present condition. The bonds for the completion of the bridge should be voted regardless of the fate of the The bridge issue is far bigger than the franchise issue and the struc- ture will perform its valuable functions with or without the franchise. We believé the people of St. Loufs will vote the bonds, but under the cir- cumstances the public sentiment against the fran- chise should not be permitted to menace, in the slightest degree, the success of the bridge com- pletion campaign. The Municipal Assembly should repeal the fran- chise ordinance before the bond election. i i - re A SERMON TO AMERICAN GIES. The Hanans, estimable people, are having trou- ble with their Duke. He won’t do. They want to get rid of him, especially does Mr. Hanan’s sister, who married him. They want to get rid of him so badly that they don’t care who knows it. “This story ought to be spread all over the United States,’’ declares Mr. Hanan. ‘It is the strongest sermon against marriages between American girls and foreigners.” Almost anybody can get a Duke; they are cheaper than some French poodies. But letting go of one is a different matter; it is like having your bear by the tail—if you let go he will turn around and bite you. Mr. Hanan has described their Duke as “a sort of household pet.” Ft liked to lie around the house. Bvidently it had no utilitarian value. But it was not comtent to be just an innocent fireside ornament harmonizing with the rug and matching the brass fender, and ft craved something more than the mere affections of the family. A sick cat snuggling up to a nice warm brick was nothing to the way the Duke snuggled up to the Hanan pocketbook. But when he was disappointed he no longer purred sweet- ly and rubbed his arched back against the leg of their easy chair. No; he snarled and showed bis vicious disposition and his cloven hoof and his yellow streak. In hatred he turned against them, but do you suppose he would leave them? Hardly. He evinced a dependent and tenacious nature that made a clinging vine look like a tum- ble weed. “Closer than a brother” was the slo- gan he adopted towards his brother-in-law. They took him abroad and he got into trouble and landed in fail. Right there was where Mr. Hanan made his mistake: He got the Duke out. Mr. Hanan and his sister left the Duke {n France, but he followed them back to this country with his hand out and that same old manner that proclaims him brother to the daughters of the horse leech. And now when they sue to get rid of him by law he takes the position that he was wished on them for life. We cordially agree with Mr. Hanan that this is a powerful sermon for American girls and all other girla who are cursed with money. Whoever marries a Duke, especially one whose nobility ts of such very ancient date, must expect to pay, pay, pay and keep on paying or there will be trouble—and maybe there will be trouble anyhow. = = *‘ ee WHY NOT IN ST. LOUIS. Fort Worth's municipal employment bu- reau placed 529 persons in satisfactory posi- tions free of charge during the first month of its existence, September, at an expense to the city of about 20 cents each.—Dallas News. St. Louis’ new charter permits the city to es- tablish a free municipal employment bureau. It ought to be done. | Unemployment is one of the most fruitful sources of social disorder, entailing police and court costs upon the taxpayer. How much wiser, and more humane, employ the public agency in minimizing unem- ployment, than in punishing its victims. = = * - - A DESPERATE NEWS CENSORSHIP. The Londen Times presents this scorching in- dictment of a censorship, which has become a standing reproach to the British Government: “We are able to discuss the campaign in the weet with far less freedom than our Russian con- temporaries. Free Russia, the last home of lib- erty of the press, has become positively enviable to us In England. Russian reports are far more full than ours, and Russian comment is far more untrammeled, and therefore, more illuminating.” The British censorship is not confined, however, to British publications and to news relating to British and French military operations. It has extended itself over the American press and over news from Germany sent by American corre- to American newspapers, for the American people. Cablegrams from the Post-Dispatch correspond- euts in Germany are systematically held up in London by the censer, although the news con- tained in them could by no possibility prejudice British military operations. If the people of Great Britain wish to submit to this stupid and unintelligent censorship, that ite thetr affair, bet when it comes to such censor- ship of mews collected hy American correspond ‘ ‘ spondenta, not to English newspapers, but to. ents in Germany for American newspapers, It is | time to protest and protest vigorously. A cynical French newspaper recently remarked that the censorship had succeeded in keeping op- erations of the allied army a secret from every- body except the Germans. This censorship has not undertaken to keep the general news of con- | ditions in Germany a secret from everybody. Such a censorship cannot be imposed for military pur- poses, for no military purposes are served by it. It is political rather than military, and expresses the military contempt for all civil rights, whether of friend or foe, enemy or neutral. Great Britain has made many things contraband of war which were not regarded as contraband of war when this conflict began. But in behalf of the press of a free and neutral nation, the Post- Dispatch emphatically protests ageinst the as- sumption of the British censorship that news from Germany to the United States is contraband of war and that it may be freely confiscated In the process of transmission. The time to restore the liberty of the press from a despotic censorship is not as the Times says, after the war, but now. a he ie i OUR COURT OF MANNERS.

A lady complains of the ushers at the Pop Concerts last year, who, she alleges, made such remarks as these to patrons: “Here comes the motely crowd! Pipe the mob! See the two bit millionaires!” A victim complains of the as- sailants with “‘ticklers,” “slappers” and “dusters” who annoy and abuse people on the sidewalks on crowded occasions. On Veiled Prophet's night, she declares, her eyes were dusted with pepper by a merrymaking ruoffian. Another complains of snoozers in the reading rooms of the library. Another protests against smokers on no-smoking cars and against street-car hogs in general. The spitter on sidewalks is indicted once more by an offended person. Really is there so much bad manners in the community! Shall we establish an Addisonian court for the trial and punishment of offenses against manners? Assuredly manners are im- portant. Addison somewhat improved the morals of London through correcting its manners. Good breeding, it is said, comes from heaven. Be that as it may, {ll-bred conduct and lack of considera- tion savor strongly of the other place. Before passing the sentence of a Court of Man- ners on the defendants complained of in the fore- going—to-wit, the person who ordered the poor coatless man out of the library; the alleged tm- pudent ushers at the Pop Concerts; the merry- makers with the feathers and the pepper; the snoozers (perhaps snorers) in the reading room; the smokers, hogs and spitters—we shall give dictmént#® Nobody shall be convicted In this court without a hearing.

Every month nature in Missouri has her change of floral garmestts. But in spring and fall they are most gorgeous. Just now, a 100-mrile trip through the State re- veals the fact thet, this season, fields, woodlands and railway banks are unustally gay in purple and gold. Owing to the dry summer, most of the goldenrod is dwarfed, but {t {s wonderfully bright and graceful. And the contrast with the fine show of astere, ranging from a delicate mauve to a deep purple, is very pleasing. If one could only view these beauties of wild nature, lounging tn a comfortable rafiway coach, without getting his eyes full of cinders! But that, perhaps, {s too much to expect. (= = * —_ - — eS a CONTRASTS AT THE FRONT. This war provides some vivid illustrations of the proposition that it is “a rich man’s war and. g poor man’s fight.” The place where the Kaiser sleeps “at the front” is thus descrfbed: The chateau was fortified against aerial at- tacks. Sacks are piled on the roof and a pro- tective shield of metal net work is erected whenever the Kaiser moves his quarters. A small army of military engineers precedes him to carry out these defensive measures before his arrival. Around the chateau were men of his special bodyguard, a detachment outside his bedroom doors another in the hall, another at the front door and two more detachments in the rooms immediately above and beneath his own room. Three unbroken lines of sentries surround the house, and a whole battalion of infantry and several squads of cavalry encamped in the parks. This was some twenty miles from the front, and the chateau was connected by a field telegraph with the headquarters of the nearest army, so that any sudden retreat of the German legions should not place the Kaiser in danger. Doubtless the Czar, King George and President Poincare will be as well protected. The places where Johann, Jean, Ivan and John sleep are not fortified against aerial attacks, but a) fresco—and they are fn the frent of the front and not be- hind it. Storms of shell and a hail of bullets can reach them es well as water and ice and snow from the sky. But it ts not always fn an open mud trench that these common soldiers unshel- tered sleep. Often there is a cover of loose earth thrown over the ditch to shelter the dreamless sleep of eternity. i, hi i i IMPORTS ABOUT NORMAL. From the New York Times.

A student of the war writes this morning that the Reader's War Guide for a cent was the greatest bargain in St. Louis yesterday. However that may be, there can be no doubt what- ever that the greatest horse race in history took place in our paper on yes- terday. The French and British cav- alry at the top of the second page at: | tempted to outfiamk the German cav- alry at the bottom of the same page. | The restilt was that both of these im- mense bodies of mounted men started off through the paper. and it was as thrilling a spectacle as we have seen since the war was declared. Fortu- mately, we had a fairly big paper, and there was room to run. The horses seemed to be about evenly matched, though the German horses seemed more intent upon wirning. They ran with their heads down and their accouter- ment flying, and went over column rules and advertisements with the ease of birds. The horses of the allies, upon the other hand, seemed content to keep the German horses from get- time anywhere except the back of the paper, which was where they did get. Of course, everybody galloped as light- ly as possible across the editorial page, where the peace feeling is very strong, but when they got to the sporting page both troops made up for anything they hed lost. It was a magnificent race, and the thunder of hooves in the paper all day was a welcome relief from the boom of German siege guns. Both sides ultimately pulled up in the hay and grain column, where they bivou- acked last night. The Weather Bird got in agajn from the inside theater of war. He says it is not so certain that the Russians are going to see the front page by Christ- mas.

Wilson, a valued correspondent, took up his pen to show that the Baron’s motives in drilling the heroes .of Valley Forge and Yorktown were, so to speak, neither here nor there, but elsewhere. The German appeal to American grati- tude had been put forth by Congress- man Bartholdt, who advanced the claim that the Baron had been sent to ald the struggling colonies by Frederick the Great. Whereupon it was retorted upon behalf of la belle France that if indeed the Baron was a German his passage to America was paid by French Louis and he sailed in a French ship. Upon which historical impasse now comes Mr. Wilson and lays it down that the Baron’s original purpose had been to offer his services to the British, but that encountering In Paris Benjamin Franklin and Siles Deane (‘sleek Ben- jamin, sleek Silas,’ Carlyle has called them), he was prevailed upon to alter it, happily for all concerned as it turned Cc out; for if the Continentals profited by the German's fron Grill, he found him- self possessed after the war of 16,000 acres of good Mohawk Valley land, the gift of the State of New York.

Ea > au $3 Pe ‘DAILY MAGAZINE iniesinSilenesiiianneenioniican ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH + Selected Fiction = i and Timely Topics; ove On—Move Onl — A reminiscence of the after terrors of the great San Fran- cisco earthquake and fire. By HE shattering “Morning of the Earthquake’ and the after days of flame and chaos had become memories only in our turtnoil of un- timed work and feverish readjustment. Bread and canried goods were plenti- fil while the embers of our city cooled, and there was promise, too, for time for rest, and time to gather our scat- tered faculties—but still we hungered, our canned and pickled stomachs cried out for fresh green stuff, and the gnaw- ing ache was worse than thirst and more relentless. The red wreckage of a city was grid- ironed by scars that represented streets and all stretched smoldering under a pall of sulphur-hued mist. The con- suming harvest of the flante had passed but an aftermath of ashes remained tv testify that ‘“‘man was but dust,” and to ashes should return. Here and there a vicious jet of fire spurted upward with a hiss of triumph in searching out and finding some hid- len chaff to deal with as a great city had been dealt with. Chaos was sub- siding and Man began to think again. Eyes glazed by terror or dim with atupid resignation once more carried a low light of some reasoning thought. The Water Front—that haven for the distracted throngs of the Fire Days— gave up its cowering and waiting crews “Move on—move on,” had been yelled from behind the bayonet's point. Lit- tle bands of aimless creatures stumbled forth into the ruins to start again, be- yond or amid that crushed and still stmnoldering City of Memory. ' From my hill I could see scores of these plodding bands melt like shad- ows into. the lowering murk that clung to the long stretches of gray streets—named streets in irony sure- ly. All these shadows of men bent upon some vague purpose were the flotsam and jetsam after a storm of fire and a quaking earth. But to us who had worked and sickened for the lack of fresh green things the word ‘Orange” was music and “Potato” was song. I was bidden to find them or anything, be it ever so green. ‘Coming My Way I Saw Her.”’ Y path to the Water Front by Mi way of Vallejo street looked comparatively cool and plain. It was no hard matter to select, for all streets were as clearly defined as if painted on a red map. Oakland lay bright and clean across the Bay. Surely our need might be found for a price in that oasis beyond the water! Vallejo did not meet my hopes, but all roads were doubtless equally bad. so I made the best of it, with hot feet, avoiding the many scorching pitfalls that waited the unwary. Coming my way I saw a Mother, with no Man to guide and guard. He may have been among the very hot ruins near where she passed. Through reeking ashes there trudged behind her four children, a boy, perhaps of 12, and three girls, all younger-——one of them a silent little toddler. Hach wayfarer bore some burden too great, but too precious to abandon— pots, pans, besmudged bedding and the ever-famillar pillow-case, stuffed with God knows what-—and bread. A. dirty, begrimed, ash-dimmed erew of wanderers on a strange earth with faces branded by hopelessness, hunger and thirst. “Move on, move on,” the military had ordered. They were moving on. but action had no meaning. The Mother's lips were flabby, dry and purposeless, her eyes dead, save for Morgan Shepard 4&4 nameless gleam that distorted the heavy eyelids. She stared be- fore her out of those dull eyes and turned neither to right nor left, her sordid little escort of worldless ofspring following along after her. They took no cognizance of me or of anything. The command ‘move on” echoed like throbbing Fear in hearts whose emotions were burned to ashes with all the rest of their world. In that company there was a sixth. Wrapped by a soiled red shaw! to its mother was a nursing babe, with face buried deep in the bare breast of the woman. One little arm, released from bend, dangled in rhythm with the mother’s plodding steps; the fingers of the other hand were spread futive- ly across the place that gave it food, and showed a clutching gesture ot baby hunger. But the hands were @ray, and gray, too, were the dirt- clouded creases about the baby neck. [ saw that the child was dead. “Mother,” I said, in the language of her people, “Your baby—do you know, mother—that—that, your baby is dead?” “Dust to Dust.” lik made no reply, there was no S exclamation. She stopped heavily, as did all her follow- ers—my words might have been 2 military “halt.” Her.expression did not change a shade from its fixed de- spair, there was’ not even a twitch of the shadowed lips or a tremor of the swollen eyelids. Her hands pressed the little one to the dried fountains over her heart. Then, with awkward, fumbling fingers, she un- did the bonds that held her babe to her: the child’s head fell back in- ertly against the mother’s soiled hand and slowly she raised the little body to her parched cheek as if tn listen for a heart beat; but she heard none, for, turning to the dust and ashes about her, she stared forth va- cantly as she had before I had given my message. She did not wake frpm the lethargy of a speechless woe. Judging by that unmoved face, life might have been to her the same as it was before she learned that death reposed upon her bosom. Near where she stood there flared up one of those vicious spurts of flame, dying reluctantly amid a tangle of wreckage. Thrusting itself through this mass was a mound of glowing embers. Deliberately she stooped and laid her babe upon that waiting pyre, and leaned over it a little time. “Dust to dust,’ [ said in my heart. She may have kissed her child, she may have stammered a last benedic- tion over her dead, but what the last rites of that burial were I do not know, for her face was hidden. Then a pungent smell of the mother’s burning hair came to me, and a little veil of smoke made a halo about her bended head. She spoke no word, there was no ery, no tears came to the dull eyes, and her lips were unchanged. Then she fell again into the dreary trudg- ing I .had interrupted. The drowsy smoke hung low along the broken street up Which the woman passed. The sun shone red throug a veil that rose over the funeral pyre of a city and a babe, as a mother obeyed the command of God and the military to “Move on.” en een (Copyright: Shortstory Pub.

BORGE STALLINGS, after the opening game of the world’s series had been won by his club, intli- mated that the Athletics were al- ready “dogging” it, and that the Braves would win by outgaming the enemy. Due allowance must, in this case, be made for the Stallings tac- tica, which are of the “army” school and include “goat-getting” as a main tenet. Stallings figured out the pesy~- chological effect of his utterance, when read by the Athletics, would to make the Mackmen over-anxious to show today that they are not nerv- ous, thus causing misplays. As a matter of fact, the aualy- ais of yesterday's game shows that the Athletics, far from dog- ging it, played a tight defensive game, being superior to the win- ning club ia this respect.

‘ id a Da ; i + ST. LOUIS POST. ST-DISPATCH. SATURDAY EVENING, cae — CARRANZA MEN KILL COMMANDER, SCAPE ON SHIP U. S. Warship Reports Mutiny Among Constitutionalists at Santa Rosalia. ON BOARD U. &. 8. WEST VIRGIN- 1A, Mazatian, Oct. 8 via wireless to fan Diego, “al. (delayed in transmis- sion). — Constitutional mutineers at Santa Rosalia have shot Mai. Aguayo, the military commander there. looted the customs house, seized the Mexican stearrer Korrigan TIT. and put to sea. TE is the news sent by wireless to Ré@ar Admiral Howard, command- ing the Pacific fleet, by the cruiser Albany, which the Admiral ordered to Santa Rosalia to report on con- ditions. Santa Rosalia is the site of an important French copper mining concession. The troops mutinied Tuesday night and tried to capture the steamer, which is owned by the Bolee com- pany (French) but files the Mexican flag. Rather than risk the loss of the vessel and all the company’s port- ablé assets, the resident director turned it over without resistance. All the troops except 25 embarked and put to sea, presumably bound for Guaymas. Many persons were arrested dur- ing the rioting, including the German consular agent, @ Mexican, who was released after paying 10090 pesos ($600) ransom. Conditions at Acapulco have grown so bad that a Red Cross ship is urgently needed. The troops continue rioting and pillaging. Supplies are ecarce and dear and there is much auffering. Other west coast ports are quiet. Mexicans in Conference Fropose a Commission Government. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—A commis- sion form of government for Mexico un- til order is restored and the resumption of full constitutional functions by the people has been suggested at the in- formal discussions at Aguas Calientes preceding the formal meeting between representatives of Carranza and Villa. This was reported to the State Depart- ment and met with prompt recognition as a possible solution for the vexing problems of the Southern republic. Preparations are going forward in Mexico City for setting up a new pro- visional Government, regardiess of the forthcoming peace conference at Aguas Calientes, according to advices today to the Constitutionalist headquarters here. The headquarters announced that an enumeration had just been recelved, showing that the forces under Generals loyal to Carranza, total 194,000 men, while Villa can control but 24,000. Further reports of distress on the west eoast of Mexico come from Admiral Howard. Lack cf food or of any central! authority, he said, caused continual con- flict between the people and the soldiers. Secretary Garrison said again today that no date had been set for the evac- uation of Vera Cruz by the American forces. Gen. Carranza has as yet com- plied with none of the stipulations iaid down by the United States, including a guarantee for the safety of foreigners and others in Vere Cruz. It is gener- ally understood that the troops wil! stay until the Carranga-Villa row has been settled. | a ‘ Mexican Government Retarns 096 811. ver Bars to Mine Owners.

GIRL, 19, BEATS OFF ROBBER WITH UMBRELLA PR recine Grip on It She Then _we Roeder, Pounds Highwayman With Her Fist and Saves Her Purse. When Miss Genevieve Wilson, 19 years ol6, was attacked by a highwayman at St. Louis and Rauschenbach ave- nues at 10:4 o'clock last night, she beat him off with her umbrella and her fiat and saved her pocketbook. Mies Wilson, who is smployed as a nurse at the home of Mrs. Frank Schae- fer, $8823 Dodier street, was returning from a party at the home of Miss Car- 2829 North Fourteenth street. The robber was standing at the north- west corner. As she approached he aéd- vanced and passed her, then turned and seized her by the shoulders and tried ty force a handkerchief into her mouth. Mise Wilson carried her purse in her right hand and an umbrella in her left. She wrenched her left arm free and turning around beat the man over the head with the umbrella. When the umbralia was knocked from her hand she continued to strike him with her clenched hand. Meanwhile her sereans brought sev- @rai men to her assistance. The robber ran through St. Louis Park. He was pursued, but escaped. ee Driver, Mel@ for Accident, le Freed.

Hill’s Strong Box. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—A possible cliew to the solution of the mystery sur- rounding the alleged discovery of a note for $1,500,000 in the strong box of the late Gov. John F. Hill of Maine, was fur- nished today by Charles &. Mellen, for- mer president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Raltlroad. Aocording to one story, this note was made by the New England Navigation Co. and indorsed by the Billard com- pany. Mellen sald he was positive the navi- gation company was not the maker of the note. He thought it possible, how- ever, that the obligation might have been incurred by the New Bngland Se- curities Co., another New York, New Haven & Hartford subsidiary. “T know nothing of the existence of this note,”’ Mellen said, “‘but you will recall that a witness whose name I cannot definitely recall testified before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington that the Billard company bought from Gov. Hill about $1,500,000 of the bonds of the Eastern Steamship Co.”’ The Eastern steamship Co., another New Haven creation, was formed to take over the old Morse steamship line. Accorming to one account of rhe dis- covery of the Hill note, that obligation was secured by 8500 shares of stock of the Fastern Securities Co., a holding company for the Eastern “Steamship Co. Mellin's suggested clew to the identity of the note, however, does not explain why Gov. Hill wrote oh the cover of the envelone in which it was found, “This does not belong to me.’’ Asked what the New England Securi- ties Co. was, Mellen replied that he didn't rightly know. He fancied, how- ever. that it was one of the numer- ous companies, the names of which he had heard frequently. “Ts it a Morse concern?” asked. ‘“Whr. T have rather associated it in my mind with the name of Morse,"’ he said. WABASH CAN’T PAY CERTIFICATE INTEREST he was Court Order Shows Road’s Earn- ings for Year Are Short of Needs by $380,000. United States Circuit Judge Plmer B. Adams today directed Pdward B. Pryar, receiver of the Wabash Rail- road, to notify the Interstate Com- merce Commission and the Railroad and Public Utility Commissions of the various states in which the Wabash operates, that the road’s net earnings for the fiseal year ending June 39, were $380,000 short of enough to pay the interest on underlying bonds, and that no interest could be paid on receivers’ certificates issued for im- provements. In his order Judge Adams quotes the following from an annual report submitted by the receiver: “Heavily advanced costs of operation can no longer be met by proportionate economies or be offset by a greater volume of earnings.”’ The receiver, Judge Adams states, filed with the Court copies of Inter- state Commerce Commission de- cisions in the rate increase cases, showing that the Wabash operates in a 4istrict in which abnormally and disproportionately low rates pre- vail, and in the judgment of the commission they should be revised and readjusted. INJURED BOY’S ARM MAY | BE CUT OFF TO SAVE LIFE es er Roller Skater Is Run Over by Auto Truck-——-Driver Flees but Is Arrested. Walton Ballman, 10 years old, of 168 North Seventeenth street, mav lose his right arm from being run over by an automobile truck while roller skating at Seventeenth and Mullanphy streets, about 7 o'clock last night. The truck knocked him down and one of the wheels passed over his arm. Surgeons eald the arm probably would have to be amputated to save the boy’s life. The man operating the truck fled from the scene. Witnesses said the truck bore license number #2 and that the name of a wholesale dry goods com- pany was painted on the sides. ' Policemen interviewed the teaming contractor whose trucks are used by the dry goods company and learned the machine described by witnesses was operated by Leo Ahrens, 34 years old, of 6838 Bpencer place. He was arrest- e4 and admitted being in the neighbor- nood of the accident, but dented hav- ing any knowledge that his truck had rum over anyone. He is held on @ charge of felonious flight. POLICE MANUAL REVISED we ee ee Patrolimen Who Resigned May Enter Only as Probationers.

They will be permitted to make application as probationaries at $5 a month and will have to serve the required two vears before peing eligible for promotion to patroimeh at §90 a month. Under the former rule policemen who had honorably Quit the department could get reinstatement as patrolmen, but the present Board of Police Com- missioners set that provision aside on the ground that it conflicted with the age limit in eppointments.

NEW YORK, Oct. Southern Railway Co. declared yesterday afternoon a semi- annual dividend of 2 per cent, payable in scrip, on .ts pre- ferred stock. Action on this dividend was deferred several weeks ago because of the un- settled financial situation. The scrip is payable in five years and bears interest at the rate of 4 per cent a year for this period. The rate of the last semi-annual dividend was 2's per cent and it was payable in eash. The directors issued a statement reading in part as follows “Although the full dividend of 214 per cent for the erlod had been. earned, the oard deems that in view of the falling off of revnue and the consequent necessity for retrenchment of expenses, it was fair that stockholders should share with employes and officers of the company a sacrifice of their current come.’ 1n The By Leased Wire From the New York | Choice Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.--The Evening Post, in its dally copyrighted financial review today, said: “If all financial markets had been open, the fall of Antwerp would un- doubtedly have been the dominant news of the day. In the ordinary conversa- tion of the market places, there was a noticeable atmosphere of regret, if not despondency, at the news—first, because of the strong and indignant sympathy which all classes of the American com- munity have felt at the ruthless devas- tation of the heroic little Belgian kin dom, but séecond. because of the feel- ing that an event of this sort may pro- long the war and postpone the end which remains inevitable. “Since there was no stock market to chronicle the broad financial view of this event, it hardly served as an in- fluence of the dav. The wheat mar- ket, having completed its preliminary ‘discounting’ of the war some weeks ago, did not move at all today. For- ey oe now subject to special) luences its own, declined a frac- ct “One of the really interesting state- ments of the day was the full compila- tion of the country’s September bank exchanges—always a measure of ebb or flow in financial, commercial, and in- dustrial activity. The total of checks drawn on the banks of the United States last month was less by % per cent than in 19138, whereas in August, the decrease was only 19%. ‘““As was to be expected, with the large financial operations which sur- round the Stock Exchanga suspended, the largest shrinkage was in New York, wheré exchange of checks was ®#) per cent below last year. Outside this city, the decrease was only 19 per cent, though that also was larger than in August “Perhaps the most notable Iilustra- tion of the conflicting tendencies of the day is found in the fact that September exchanges in the transimississippi ay belt increased 4% per cent over 913, In the face of the decrease tn all other sections of the country, and this followed a4 substantial increase in Sep- tember of last year. “Tt is interesting to note that Lon- don’s bank exchanges in September de- creased 88 per cent from 1913, as against a shrinkage of about & per cent in August.”’ “The $4,600,000 gain of cash reported in today’s bank statement was not up te yesterday's estimate, which was for a net increase of $10,590,000: but today’s bank returns were only daily ave es, Furthermore, the very large loan reduc- tion of $86,000,.000—largely due to. re- adjustment of old stock exchange ac- counts made possible a heavy reduction of the deficit. This was cut down some- thing more than $10,000,000, and now stands at the relatively low figure of $7,700,000. That figure is much below any of the weekly deficits reported by New York banks between Oct. 6, 197, and the end of December.” ON Ranks Make Good Showing on the Week.
