By GUSTAVE C. ROEDER, Mr. Roeder is a Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch and New York World who was sent to Germany to investigate the economic condition of that country. YOCopyright, 1915, by Press Publishing Co., New York, all rights reserved.) The future ef the world war now raging in Europe depends largely @pon the actual economic conditions which today prevail in Germany. If Germany is unable to feed not only her huge army of millions of sons of the f Fatherland who are today following the banner of the Kaiser, but also her pivilians left at home, then the world will soon see the war at an end. Defeat for Germany would be a natural consequence. If, on the other hand, the Germans have an ample food supply, enough got only to satisfy. the want of those battling for the future of the empire, but also for the care of the civilian population at home, then the war may be carried on for months, or, maybe, for years. - Here are the conclusions arrived at by the writer, after a careful, pains- taking investigation, and after an exhaustive travel throughout the Kaiser’s domain: 1. The report that Germany is on the point of starvation is ab- ’ solutely false. There is ample supply not only to feed the monster army which Germany has placed in the field, but also enough to care for the rest of the populace. 2. There are on hand today enough foodstuffs to last at least one year, if not 18 months. | 8. A positive and absolutely effective blockade has not been es- tablished against German ports, and foodstuffs and other material are being brought into Germany today from outside sources. , ‘4. There is no scarcity of flour or bread. On the contrary, there enough on hand of the former so that the German Government will - ‘net be compelled to draw upon the products of the erop of 1915 until” ‘next year, if then. a 6. . Even if the crop of 1915 should turn out to be a poor one, it would still be greater than the crop of an average year, because since Angust 1914 more land under the German banner has been cultivated for agricultural purposes than ever before. 6. There is enough meat on hand to last for an inicfinite period. 7. Germany today is practically self-supporting. 8. The financial conditions of the country are such that it will be a long time before the war chest can be emptied. 9. Throughout Germany proper there are scarcely any indications that outside of her domains a great war is raging. 10. Germany will fight to the last man, if necessary, and her sons ‘are proudly sacrificing their lives upon the field of battle, knowing that in doing so they serve their Fatherland best. 11, The feeling against Americans in Germany is most bitter, be- cause American arms and ammunition are supplied by American firms to the allies. DOST-DISPATCH MAN arti ~~ TOURS GERMANY, FINDS YEAR ~ TERM IN PRISON Convicted Terre Haute Official Is Also Fined $2000 for Election Fraud. FIVE YEARS FOR JUDGE Shea amd Each Must Pay Fine of $1000. INDIANAPOLS, Ind., April 12.—- Mayor Donn M.

Four were given suspended sen- tences; judgment was reserved in the cases of four, at the request of United States District Attorney Bailey, and the others were given either sentences in the local jail, or fines.

Every man, woman and child in Germany firmly believes that .Germany will come out victorious in this great struggle against her op- ponents. ‘‘Wir muessen siegen. ‘zum sieg.’’ their watchword. Und wir werden siegen. (We must and will conquer; with God to victory), is Mit Gott Few Signs of War Are A pparent in Germany's Domestic System What impresses the visitor to Germany most forcibly at this time is the fact that in the country proper there are practically no indications of war. Trains are running just as regularly as they did in time of peace and there is considerable traffic as far as passengers are concerned. Such a thing as a train being late either in starting or arriving upon its destination is a matter practically unheard of. I have traveled thousands of miles by @ailroad through Germany within the past few weeks and upon no occasion did our train ever arrive as much as a minute late. It may be stated that gust now the train service is exclusively in charge of the military authorities in Germany. Another feature which is observed at onoe by the foreign visitor to the Fatherland during the present war times is the absolute and positivé obedience with which every German lives up to every rule, order or command which comes to him, either through the civil or military authorities or from the po- ; There exists today in Germany one of. the most thorough systems of espionage that can be imagined. It is utterly im- possible for a stranger to enter Ger- without. the necessary passport, tnust contain the caller's photo- graph, or without additional documen- tary proof that the person about to cross the border is just what he rep- resents himself to be.

Feod Monopoly Important Measure. They are manufacturing today throughout Germany what is known as “Kriegsbrod,"’ a very wholesome brown- ish bread, which has become very pop- ular, indeed. Of course, in the first in- stance, Germany must feed and care for the wants of her powerful army and navy. The soldiers in the field come first in every case. There is no short- age of rations anywhere in the army or navy. When the English blockade of Ger- man ports began, every citizen, producer as well as consumer, was called upon by the German Government to make affidavit as to the amount of foodstuffs in his possession. Every household had to make a similar report, and short- ly after that all the flour on hand, anywhere in Germany, was selzed espe- clailly that stored ia the mills, an placed under the direct care and charge of the Government. All the flour mills were filled, but from that moment on only certain regular allowances were issued. If the German people have ever been wasteful in anything it has been in the use of bread.

John G, Zipp, assistant Chief Deputy in the registry department [fn the Circuit Clerk's office, was talking with some friends in the rotunda of the. court- house. He bit the end off a cigar and spat a small piece of tobacco onto the floor. A special officer from the Health Department arrested him and took him to police headquarters.

The Recorder’s office was well filled this morning by investors who called to examine deeds of trust they hold, to satisfy themselves that their securities are not fraudulent. Among these were two of Frederick's clients, the woman inquiring about the Cook avenue prop- erty, and two men who found they had a duplicate deed of trust for $2300 whicn had not been recorded. The woman would not give her name to reporters, and she did not show the notes or other papers in her possession to anyone at the Recorder’s office. She was accompanied by Charles de Largy, trust officer of the Broadway Savings Trust Co., 1950 North Broadway, who eought to protect her against inquiries. It was recalled that a woman who said she was Miss Anna Corlinek, an orphan, and lived with a dependent sis- ter in North St. Louis, had telephoned Saturday night to Mrs. Howard R. Clark, daughter of Mrs. Weinhelmer. stating she was anxious to obtain in- formation which might help her out of ao distressing situation.

It is generally believed, however, that he will intern his ship. Officers and crew of the Kronprinz recounted today thrilling tales of sea raids and destruction that rivaled her predecessor, the Prinz Witel. During her long voyage through the southern seas since she slipped out of New York Harbor Aug. 3 last, the Kronprinz Wil- helm sank 14 ships which, with their cargoes, are valued at $7,000,000. Nine ot the vessels were British, four French and one Norwegian. Nearly 1000 pris- oners were taken. This was accom- plished with only four guns, two taken from the German cruiser Karisruhe and two captured from a British merchant vessel. The. Kronprinz Wilhelm was forced to come into port because of an outbreak of the dread beri-beri and for supplies and repairs, Sixty-six of the crew and prisoners, ill of the disease, were to be taken to a hospital today.

It has been reported by persons arriving from German ports that sailors there a story that the Karusruhe was destroyed by an explosion in the Atlan- tic, but this never has been admitted officially. It also has been reported that the German battle cruiser Von der Tann escaped from Germany and went to the Atlantic, but this has been doubt- ed in England and no definite news of the Von der Tann ever has been re- ceived.

One hundred and fifty tons of coal, tons of fresh water and three days’ supply of fresh meats, fruits and veg- etables were loaded on barges during the night and were alongside the cruiser at sunrise. These provisions were allotted the raider py Collector of Customs Hamilton after conference with the Washington authorities. Ar- rangements also were under way for the removal from the ship of 61 Brit- ish sailors taken by the Kronprinzg Wil- ‘helm from the steamships Tamar and Colepy, destroyed in the South Atlantic. The provisions taken on by the cruis- er were for use in this port only. They consisted of vegetables and fresh meats, the lack of which wag responsi- ble for the epidemic of beribéri. Commander Thierfelder has asked for time to survey his ship and to sub- mit by examination by a board .of United States navy officers before mak- ing requests as to the time he wishes, to remain in American waters for full eupplies and repairs. His machinery, after the 260 day# voyage from New York harbor, is said to be in fairly good condition, evidenced by the fact that the ship was able to make at least 23 knots an hour Satur- day night and Sunday morning in her dash into Hampton Roads through a lane filled with the sputterings from wireless instruments of enemy war- ships. All was shipshape on board the Wil- helm at sunrise today, officers and sail- ors in their aueer-looking gray uni- forms of French army cloth captured from the steamer Guadeloupe present- ing a fresh appearance after the first undisturbed night's rest in eight months of persistent and elusive operation on the high seas. “It was a long voyage from New York to Newport News,” said Over-Lieuten- ant Warneke, first officer of the Wil- helm, as he looked out on the brilliant sunrise. “But it was a pleasant voyage, and in all that time we never touched land. Always we were on the ocean and now at last we have arrived. Two hundred and fifty days from New York to Newport News and the aistancc is only 250 miles; I wonder what can be the matter with this ship.” “The officer smiled as he enjoyed his own joke.

Some of them are former members of the crew of the United State battleship Kearsarge and of the German cruiser Karlsruhe, transferred to the Kronprinz in the South Atlantic. Several others are members of the crews of ships sunk by the auxiliary cruiser. A minor officer told this story of the last few days at sea: “We could have remained at sea sev- eral weeks longer but we were short of coal and water and had to make port. “Capt.

Another message from Liverpool says the Wayfarer has not gone down, but that she is making for Queenstown in tow. The vessel was torpedoed off the Scilly Islands, according to this report. The owners of the Wayfarer say they have no information on the subject. The British Wayfarer was 606 feet long and registered 6222 tons. Se was built in Belfast in 1903 and was owned in Liverpool.

No lives were lost. The small steamer President also was attacked Sunday by a German subma- rine. The crew of 10 men was rescued by a torpedo boat destroyer. It has not been learned whether the President was sunk. The sinking of the Belgian relief ship Harpalyce has created much comment here, but the American Relief Commis- sion is awaiting official confirmation of the report that this ship was sent down by a German submarine before making a protest. Invasion of Hungary Begeu From Russian sources it is reported that the invasion of Hungary has been begun. A dispatch from Lemberg, Ga- licia, says the Russians are advancing Bartfeld and Uzsok, descending the southern slope of the Carpathians and pressing back the Austrians. In _ the Dukla region also the Russians are said to have routed the Austrians, forcing them to abandon stores and transports in their retreat. The French War Office’s report to- continued the whole of Sunday in Belgium, in the re- gion of Albert and between the Ooise and the Aisne and in the Champagne district. No engagements took place between the Meuse and Moselle after the French success of April 8 and the French have devoted themselves to re- organizing the positions won. The announcement from the German War Office says: ‘“Tnasmuch as an attack by the enemy resulted in the killing with bombs of three women in the open town of Muel- heim, German bombs were dropped on the central group of fortifications at Nancy. “French officers who ‘have been taken prisoners have informed the German authorities that the Cathedral of Notre Dame, in Paris, the galleries of the Louvre and the Hotel des Invalids are buildings being used for military pur- poses. They are equipped with search- lights, wireless apparatus and machine guns.’”’ Interest in prohibition in England con- tinues unabated, with the latest materia! for discussion supplied by a morning paper, which asserts that the Govern- ment is prepared to take over the in- dustry of manufacturing light beer, at the same time suppressing all other in- toxicating drinks. Periscope Seen From Harpolyce. The Daily Telegram’s Rotterdam cor- respondent gives an interview with Third Officer Llewellyn of the British steamer Harpalyce, who was on the bridge in command of the steamer at the time the vessel was sunk by an ex- plosition in the North Sea. “Suddenly I heard a tremendous ex- plosion,’’ Llewellyn is quoted as having said, “and the ship heeled over. 1 looked down her side and saw a tre- mendous hole, as if half the side of the ship had been blown out. The Har- palyce began to settle down very fast. ‘I could see no trace of a submarine, but two minutes afterward I thought } saw a periscope some distance away, going from the ship in a northeasterly direction.’’ HINDENBURG CALLS KITCHENER’S ARMY JUST UNIFORMED CROWD’ 12, by wireless to ace eet sila has a milion sol- diers, but no real army.

When reporters cailed this morning, they were told that no one had been or would be permitted to see Frederick, except immediate mem- bers of his family, his physician and his lawyer. The sister in charge of giving out information about patients said that Frederick’s condition showed improvement over yesterday. Henry Kortjohn Jr., attorney for Frederick, did not see Frederick at St. John’s Hospital during the morning. He told a Post-Dispatch reporter he would try to see Frederick later in the day, but was not certain whether Fred- erick would be ready to give out any statement regarding the charges. The grand jury, under the personal di- rection of Circuit Attorney Harvey, be- gan an investigation today of the traffic in fraudulent deeds of trust by Fred- erick. Three transactions will be in- vestigated by the grand jury. They are: The release by Frederick, in June, 1910, of a deed of trust which he had pledged with the Mechanics-Ameri- can National Bank as eotaters: se- curity for a loan. His business dealings with the Night and Day Bank of 38 Olive street, which last week called a loan for $3500 after it had investigated the deeds of trust Frederick had pledged to secure the loan. The sale of two deeds of trust to Mrs, Anna Weinheimer of 6170 Mc- Pherson avenue, which are worthless by reason of having been released. Bankers Are Subpenaed, Circuit Attorney Harvey Saturday aft- ernoon, issued subpenas for a lst of witnesses, furnished by the Post-Dis- patch, to testify as to their knowledge of the fraudulent deeds of trust in the two bank transactions, and also for the witnesses having knowledge of the deeds ef trust held by Mrs. Weinheimer. Walker Hill, president of the Me- Chanics-American National Bank, and William F. Switzler, credit manager of the bank, were both subpenaed. Hill will be able to tell the grand jury about the action of his bank in per- emptorily demanding that Frederick take up his loan, and withdraw his ac- cuunt from the bank after the discov- ery that the deed of trust held as col- lateral had been released, and therefore was worthless. ¢ Switzler can enlighten the grand jury as to the details of the transaction, and furnish a written memorandum which he made at the time. Switzler discov- ered the release of the deed of trust, and represented the bank in the negoti- ations which compelled Frederick to ruake good on the loan. Bank Attorney to Testify. The principal officials of the Night and Day Bank and the members of the title examining firm who investigated the records of the collateral which Frederick had pledged with that insti- tution also have been summoned by Circuit Attorney Harvey to appear be- fore the grand jury today. President H. H. Hohenschild proba- bly will be the first official of the bank to be called into the grand jury room Hohenschild and C. E. Hayden, vice president of the bank, decided last Thursday to make an investigation of the collateral which Frederick had pledged with them to secure a $3500 loan. Hayden employed George R. Hunsche and Hugo Buder of the Hunsche-Buder Land Title Co. to examine the records. Hunsche and Buder will be able to in- form the grand jury as to what they discovered in the Recorder’s office at the city hall. Their discoveries were so startling that, while they did not know the entire circumstances sur- rounding Frederick’s dealings with the bank, they decided in the interest of good government to vote against Fred- erick at the election. George B. Webster. attorney for the bank, has also been subpenaed to ap- pear before the grand jury. Mrs. Wetuheimer Called. For the investigation of the two deeds of trust held by Mrs. Weinheimer, shown by the records at the city hall te have been releaged. several witnesses bave been called, including Mrs. Wein- y heimer and her daughter, Mra. Howard R. Clark. Mrs. Welnheimer will be purchased the deeds of trust from Fred- erick. ic what the records revealed when Mrs. Weinheimer brought in the deeds of trust and asked that they be investi- gated. The grand jury will call for the books in the Recorder’s office in which the deeds of trust wére recorded. Other witnesses in this particular in- vestigation will be Frederick A. Goes- sel and his wife of #2A North New- stead avenue, against whose property one of the bogus deeds of trust was is- sued. The Goessels will inform the grand jury that they obtained a loan of $3500 from Frederick in 1908, giving a deed of trust on their single flat as se- curity. Frederick carried this deed of trust for two years or more, but the Goessels decided not to permit him to re- new it, as they thought their interest charges were too high. ‘hey induced William H. Hauschulte, a real estate dealer, to obtain a loan for them from the Northwestern Bank. Hauschulte, who is a director of the bank, will appear as a witness, with a canceled check for $3629.83, dated Dec. 7, 1912, which he gave to Frederick to take up the loan which (he had made to the Goessels. 4 Several former clerks in Frederick's office. will be called in connection with this investigation, but their testimony is not expected to be important, as they merely appeared in the deeds of trust as trustees, or straw men. The loan on the Goessel home was made in the name of the Jessie Morris Réalty and Invest- ment Co., of which Frederick was presi- dent. Inquiries at Recorder’s Office. Circuit Attorney Harvey had set aside this afternoon for the investiga- tion of the two bank transactions be- fore it became known that Mrs. Wein- heimer held fraudulent deeds of trust which she had purchased from Fred- erick. He said that the grand jury would be asked to devote its attention exclusively to the Frederick investi- gation until it should be completed. It is expected that several witnesses who have not yet disclosed their iden- tity will voluntarily appear before the grand jury to testify relative to their business dealings with Frederick. Nu- merous inquiries have been made at the Recorder’s office by holders of deeds of trust purchased from Frederick. One woman visited the MRecorder’s office Saturday afternoon with a $4500 deed of trust, which the records indicated was suspicious, and afterwards consulted an attorney. NEW FREDERICK DEEDS ATTACKED Man Tells Mrs. Weinheimer Half of $2800 Loan, Secured by One, Was Paid. Mrs. Howard Clark of 6170 McPherson avenue, daughter of Mrs. Anna Wein- heimer, told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that Mrs. Weinheimer had two other deeds, obtained through Frederick, besides the two which have come to public notice heretofore. Mrs. Clark said she and her mother looked up these two deeds and found that they had not been released, and hence, thinking the investment repre- sented by the deeds was safe, they said ‘day, she said, information came which NEW PUBLICATIONS.

(Continued From Page 1.) as they cared to with their meals, and there never was any extra charge for it. But, with the blockade established, :* became necessary to curtail the use of flour principally, and the novel saving system was instituted. The war bread is mostly of a very dark color. The so-called white bread contains about 15 per cent of rye flour. The dark war-bread of ‘‘Kriesbrod,”’ as they call it in Germany, contains from 2% per cént to 20 per cent of potato flour or baked potatoes, which are add- ed to rye flour only. In the manufac- ture of this kind of war-bread no wheai is used at all, and wread generally 1s sold 12 hours after it is baked. Wheat Bread Is Forbidden. It is forbidden to bake with wheat flour alone. A person who did not want to buy bread would be given the equivalent amount in flour, up to four pounds for each person per week, but * even in private families nobody was al- lowed to bake bread with wheat flour alone. The establishment of the Government wheat monopoly has been recognized as being by far the most important and far-reaching measure taken since the outbreak of the war. All supplies of wheat. rye and flour of all sorts .in amounts of not less than 220 pounds were confiscated, Fen. 1, and five days later all holders of sucn stock had ren- dered a full account of them to the Governmen?. All guch confiscated grain and flour Was passed into the possession of what has become knowr as either the War Wheat Co. or the War Purchase Co., or to some local municipal organiza- tions. These bodies had to pass the grain on to the mills, and they in turn Were compelled to work on conditions by the authorities. The only definite rule which has been ished for every municipality or other local body is that it may not be over more than a maximum quantity of four pounds of bread for every person per week. The farmers were allowed to retain only as much grain as neces- sary for the feeding of the persons liv- ing on their estates and for an ade- quate supply of seed. Bread Card With Hotel Room Keys. A bread card system has been estab- lished in Germany. Yt is enforced in different ways in different calities. In Berlin, for instance, I was utterly unable to receive a piece of bread with- out first presenting a bread card, and no restaurant will violate this rule, no matter how much you may beg for bread. In other cities the bread card system is more lax, but cards are issued all the same, and the amount distrib- uted is never in excess of the -allow- ance made by the Government per head. When I arrived in Berlin the first thiag handed to me at the Hotel Ad- lon with the key to my room was the bread card. This enabled me to pur- chase half a pound of bread every day. In the hotels new bread cards are is- sued daily. When the waiter comes to your room in the merning with your stale rolls of war bread he also brings along a new bread card, from which the amount of your breakfast has al- ready been deducted. At the same time he takes from you the bread card of the day before, and no credit is given to you if on the previous day you should have failed to eat the amount of bread allowed you by the Government. When I called the attention of the waiter to the fact that there was still some coupons left on my bréad card of the day previous, he calmly informed me that I should have eaten the full amount on the day before. All further arguments came to a sudden end when ] was informed that these are the police tegulations. There is absolutely ro ap- peal from such an order, because «very- body here does just exactly as the police tell them to do. Bread Tickets Not Transferable. . Bread tickets are not transferable; and every ticket bears a number and may be used by any member of a fam- lly, since every member who is more than two years old is entitled to a bread ticket. Hotels must keep an ac- count of the number of guests and .em- ployes in order to be entitled to the corresponding quantity of bread, the same as ‘the boarding houses and res- taurants. in the latter bread must be purchased by the guests, the hotels, therefore, doing away with their free supply as heretofore. . Berlin, for instance, has been divided into, 170 districts, each including about 160 houses with 11,000 people, who are ‘8 provided with bread tickets from the respective central offices. If you go to a restaurant in Berlin and order your meal the waiter will not bring you any bredd unless you or- der it specially, and then he will ask | you at ence for your bread card. You will. tell him how many slices of bread you want and he will clip coupons ac- _ e@ordingly from your bread card. Should you have forgotten to bring your pvread ; card along you simply will have to go without bread, for nobody will take a Illinois to fur-| nish our cus- tomers with milk. = .

There was not a single bread card in the banquet hall and the only thing for the Ambassador to d6 was to send to the embassy for the regular cards issued to the legation once a week. It was not until these had been produced that Mr. Gerard and the other guests were given any bread at all. . “It's the law, gentlemen,” said the Ambassador to his fellow guests, and the incident was closed. I attended a dinner party given at a private residence in Chemnitz, and one of the guests, who was there with his wife, and had come from a nearby town, had brought his own bread along, and before the meal was served had it placed alongside his plate. Another guest who arrived presented his bread card to the ser- vant, who opened the door immedi- ately after he had entered the apart- ment. Nothing at all was thought of this incident. Not So Strict Outside Prussia. In other cities outside Berlin, and principally outside. of Prussia, the rule is not so strictly enforced. .In Munich, for instance, at one of the large res- taurants where I had luncheon, there was a silver basket with bread all ready to cut in slices upon the table. One would simply help himself to as much bread as he wanted and when it came time to pay the bill the waiter would ask as to the amount of bread con- sumed and charged 5 pfennigs (one and one quarter cents) for each slice of war bread. In dining cars on the trains bread fs served regularly to all who ask for it and are willing to pay. You can get as much as you want there without rroducing a card. I have it from the most reliable au- thority that there is ample flour and grain in Germany to feed. not only the army and navy, but the entire popula- tion, including the thousands of prisun- «rs of war and other pecple interned throughout the empire for at least one year to come. As already stated, the Germans are a far-seeing people, and immediately after the harvest in 1914, after ihe he- sinning of the war, nad been gath- ered, the fields were plowed and got- ien ready for what is hoped to turn Out to be the greatest harvest tn years. Ot course the present system of bread cards ard o’ icr econumic precautionary measures will be continued r‘ght along, su that no matter how long the war lasts, the German Government feels that the bread question has been abso- lutely and positively solved. Plenty of Food Shipped In. Again it must be considered that the blockade against the importation of fvodstuffs is not considered a close and positive blockade, and I know, and I. have it from the highest authority, that grain and flour in plenty are being shipped into Germany from outside sources. andj the s‘trargest pait of it all is that most of this grain comes direct from Russia. It would appear that anything on the contrutcend list ean be had in “Sermany. wit!. the block- ade and other restrictionss, by simply raying a good price, and in gold.

H compel the neutrals to see to it that foodstuffs for the civilian population but admitted unmolested into Germany whether by sea or land. Another important item in the food line is the potato question. Up to this time potatoes have not been seized by the Government, but housewives and cthers already have been called upon to report just how many potatoes they have in their possession, and the general understanding is that potatoes may be handled within a very short time in a similar manner to flour. As a matter of fact, they are never short of pota- toes in Germany. - A good deal of whiskey or ‘eatinnaeie vas manufactured in former years out of potatoes, but since the Government took a hand in the food situation dis- tillers are no longer permitted to make potato schnapps. Beer-Making Restricted. A like restriction has been placed up- on barley, which is used principally in connection with the manufacture of beer. Today the German breweries are allowed to use only 60 per cent of what former quantity of barley they needed and the price of beer wince the war been raised 50 cents per 100 litres. This restriction in the use of barley was done principally in order to get more food for the animals. There is a sufficient quantity of oats on hand to last for a long time to come. But under the system of economy in Germany, especially as practiced since the beginning of the war oats are also measured out to horse owners and the quantity each horse is allowed jo oat each day has been fixed. A light draft horse does not get as much to eat as a horse which has to do heavy pulling. As to the former animal, five pounds of oats are meas- ‘red out daily, while to the stronger and heavy draft horses, seven pounds of oats are allowed for the same period of time. In order to overcome the dif- ference between the fodder supplied the horse singe ithe war, now the Govern- ment furnishes what is known as ‘“mel- lasse” fodder, which is made out of a peculiar kind of red carrots known as a nn o- senonncsinen e ————— emodiirina VISIT California’s Expositions Low Round Trip Fares Northern Pacific Ry and GARDINER GATEWAY Original and Northern Entrance to Yellowstone National Park y of our vel lit- Write at once for free c Expositions Folder and erature let us assist you an Planning your 1915 vacation, D.

As far as meat is concerned, there is sufficient quantity on hand at all times, and absolutely no restrictions have been placed upon its sale. A good deal of smoked pork and hams are used in Germany, and just now an cfficial census of pigs is being taken throughout the entire empire. When this order was first issued to count all hogs the price of pork advanced somewhat, under the general belief that pork might sooner or later be placed in.the restricted food supplies, but the peo- ple generally have realized what the counting is ali about, and that it is done for statistical purposes only, the retail prices have fallen off again con- siderably. ; Increase in Prices Slight The increase in food prices has nit been a very heavy one sinee the be- ginning of the war and there is little complaint throughout Germany because of the, rise in prices for some of the commodities. The people in Germany have settled down to the belief that every article of food needed by the army or navy must first be supplied, and should there be anything left, the rest may go tothe civilian population. Such articles of food which are used largely by the army have risen in price.*some as high as 100 per cent or more. As far as labor is concerned, nobody is idle tin Germany today. At the very outbreak of the war, and for the first six weeks or more, times were rather hard and business practically at a stand- still. The manufacturers had to dis- charge many of their employes because of scarcity of orders for work and no: knowing just how long conditions weuld prevail under these circumstances. S8ut gradually confidence was restored in business circles and today all the fac- tories are running and especially those where war supplies are turned out are working overtime. In many places work continues several days and nights in every week. The Government insists that all workers are fully paid and many of the big factories and machine shops have changed their machinery completely so that today they are manufacturing shrapnel and other munitions of war where formerly they turned out sewing machines, typewriters and other peaceful articles. Fines and imprisonment are imposed upon every employer who furnishes war ,material today and who is convicted of paying or attempting to pay less wages to his employes than he received before Aug. 1, 1914, Financial Conditions Fine. So far as financial conditions are con- cerned, they are excellent just now, both war loans having been many times over- subscribed. The German people insist that from a financial point of view the war is much better for Germany thar it is for any of the allies. They point to the fact that Germany is unable to import today any raw material and for that reason alone all material used for War purposes must be manufactured in the German empire. In that way the monéy practically remains in circula- tion in the country and this accounts to a large extent for the prosperous condi- tion of the Fatherland today. I have talked with officials in charge of savings banks and they assure me that their deposits have largely in- creased. In Essen, for instance, where the Krupp works are located, the sav- ings banks are doing a greater business than they ever did before in the his- tory of that town. Everybody is busy in Essen, an@ workmen are paid ‘n many instances. more than 100 per cent [mere than they were before hostilities | were commenced between Germany and the allied nations. remained at home and who are depend- ing upon the support of the army now at the front, they are being well carel ss As far as those are concerned who for by the Government and many char- itable and other similar associations and organizations have sprung up since the first shot was fired. ' Call ef Soldiers’ Families. Under what is known as “Kriegsfuer- sorge’’—war care—a careful list is kept of every family where the husband is fighting at the front. The wife who is left at home receives from the Gov- ernment $3 a month. For each child $1.50 a month is added. In addition to that, relief is granted by the municipal authorities, and they pay to each wife each week $1.50 and for each child about 7% cents. Then come the various city, town, village and private organizations which furnish additional pecuniary aid. Besides, they see to It that each wife and child is supplied with good, warra clothing and all the shoes are half-soled and repaired free of charge. This is ‘a very important item to be considered in view of the fact that the price of leather since Aug. 1, 1914, has risen con- siderably. : Under the laws of the land the widows and orphans of soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the fiela of battle or as the result of the war, are being cared for by the Government. The widow of a ‘private soldier receives a yearly pen- sion of $100. To the widow of a petty officer is paid the sum of $125 per year, while the widow of ‘“feldwebel,” or chief petty officer, is paid $150 per year. Each child receives a yearly pension of $42 where the father has been killed in the war, and in case the widow should ‘die before her child has reached the age of eighteen years, such child continues to receive $60 per year out of the general pension fund. Germany has no moratorium and the plea of war times in connection with the lack of payments cannot be accepted. In that way considerable bankruptcy is avoided. It is true that all bills of ex- change have been extended thirty days after which they must be paid. Schools Still in Session. The schools as a rule have not been closed because of the war. Nearly ali the school children are wearing today some kind of garment indicative of war- soldier caps, soldier coats, helmets, leg- gins. — The banking institutions in Germany have called in all the gold available. While the delivery of gold to the banks of the Government is not the cause of a positive order issued, yet wherever gold is seen it is exchanged for paper money and turned in the Reichs or Deutch Bank. This is due principally because, ac- cording to the laws of Germany the Reichsbank can issue three times the amount in paper money it has gold in her vaults. The collection of gold money has be- come a highly interesting one, especial- ly for the children. They have been told by their teachers that the gold is needed by the Government while the present war is raging and children are playing the part of detectives quite suc- cessfully, and eagerly buttonholing every person whom they believe to be ihe owner of a gold coin. Their teachers have gone into a money exchange busi- ness and every child who delivers to the teacher a gold piece, for which of course the equivalent in paper money is given in exchange, is given half a day off from school. It can readily be seen why in most instances the little so eager to bring gold to their teachers, who turn it into the Government. Most Galties Continue. During my extensive travels throughout Germany I have observed very few indications of war. In all the cities of the land amusements are being continued just a they were before. The opera houses, the thea- ter, the variety shows, the moving picture houses were all filled to the doors. There is a change noticeable in the programs and mostly patri- otic music and songs of a patriotic character are heard. Of course the cities are filled with soldiers, the reservists and the land- wehr. Everybody is looking up to the military. Soldiers are everywhere, and there are a large number of wounded and convalescent, ali in unt- form, seen upon the streets and in the cafes. The: army is being liontzed? Everybody wants to do something for the man who wears the Emperor's coat, There is a deiises of enthusiasm and patriotism, the like of which is almost inconceivable. Wives see their husbands start for the front, chil- dren their fathers and the old folks their sons, and not a tear is shed, because everybody realizes that it is the country which has called upon her sons if necessary to sacrifice their lives in order that victory at last might be the result. The only difference in the conduct of placeg of amusement as between today and prior to the declaration of war, is that dancing is absolutely prohibited. Close at Fixed Hours. Restaurants and bars are all closed at fixed hours. Different rules pre- vail in different localities. In Berlin, which is known for its all- night resorts, which men and women of all classes used to frequent, the night resorts have been .compelled to close their doors entirely. In addition to this women who made the resorts their headquarters and who failed Y prove to the authorities that they had a le- gitimate means of support, were all arrested and sentenced to imprisonment while the war lasted, and today they are confined in jail and kept busy knit- ting for the soldiers at the front. This accounts for the fact that Friederich- strasse, which formerly swarmed with these women, is practically free of them today. The Germans declare that the flower of the Russian army has been destroyed and that, while it is true that Russia can command an almost unendless sup- ply of humanity, it will take years to transform the Russian peasant into anything like a part of a big military machine. They say that when spring comes they will be able to withdraw thousands of folks arei are 1,500,000 more soldiers ready to the front. They are men who not beerr on the fighting line up to because they have not been ne thus far. Five hundred thousand soldiers will be ready for service in the next two months, thus an army of 6,000,000 trained, sche soldiers at the disposal of the peror. Since the beginning of the war calculated that 20,000 Germans been killed outright. There are @ more who have been seriously in a and there are 165,000 others who wers made prisoners of war.

He Thinks the South Side Needs Another Big Park; Others i Could Be Developed. RECREATION FOR PUBLIC; Facilities for Indoor and Ice Skating } Tournament Next Winter. ELSON CUNLIFF, who will suc- ceed Dwight F. Davis as Park Commissioner May 1, talked y with a Post-Dispatch reporter his plans for the development of fhe park system, which include 4% buth Side swimming pool, enlarged acilities for sports and games, and, fithin a few years, one more large y park. 3 ‘Cunliff is 33 years old, a native of St. Louis, and s educated in the y schools and Westminster Col- se at Fulton. He left college to © up park engineering, in the estoration of Forest Park after the forld’s Fair of 1904. He served tin- r George E. Kessler in this work four years, then entered the serv- te of the Park Department, where Ba been for eight years. In that rk, the latter half of-it under missioner Davis, he learned not nly to consider himself the public’s hired man, and to keep the parks ttractive, but to think ahead for eir extensions and new uses. Talent for His Job. - ND though he has never taken an active part in politics, he pos- _ sesses by gift of nature the finest pment of the politician—enthusiasm, “4 asive personal charm, sincerity, fick humor and charming modesty.

CONLIFE knows his these so well he can answer an inquiry concerning any phase of it briefly—and quit talking. He realizes that what St. Louis needs most is a com- plete city plan, coherent, embracing pro- vision not only for parks, playgrounds, swimming pools and recreation centers, but for these co-ordinated scientifically with all its other public services. He will fill in whatever playground and park gaps are now apparent as rapidly as he can get funds for the work; beyond that, when the St. Louis public gets ready to take hold of city planning seriously, and not, as now, as a fad »of the “city beautiful” hobby riders, this young pork _ commissioner will be fotfind better prepared, very likely, than any other man in St. Louis to help shape that city plan. . What Mr. Cunliff thinks about his new job is suggested in some big plac- ards that are to be exhibited in the city hall corridor next week during the Future st. Louis Show. For example, this one: St. Louis stands fourth (among American cities) in population, man- ufacturing, in smallest debt of cities over 360,000, in miles of paved streets and in park area, but twenty-fourth in per capital expenditure for parks and public recreatron. Here’s another: TAXPAYERS. An Elementary Proposition in, Arith- metic. If: More playgrounds mean less jails and juvenile court cases; More public baths mean less filth and disease; More public parks mean less crime and tuberculosis; More swimming pools mean less accidents and drownings; And, Playground faintenance cost per child is only....... $.00.012 Public baths maintenance cost per person is only Public , parks maintenance per capital is only.

South Side Swimming Pool. MI R. CUNLIFF says he hag assur- ance from the Board of Esti- (Mayor, mate and Apportionment Comptroller and Chairman of the Board of Aldermen, who. will hereafter map out city budgets, sub- ject to revision by the/’Board of Al- dermen downward but not upward) of $30,000 to build a South Side swim- ming pool this spring on the Indus- trial School site. When this new pool is available, South Side boys and giris won’t have to use two sets of street cars to wet over to the Fairground pool. Mr. Cunliff believes St. Louis needs one more big park. He would have it situated in the South Side. about as hot weather—has cost ar $39,000 com- - MONDAY EVENING, ‘APRIL 12, 1915, et tes ae CY | Fairground Park is on the North 4 Bide, somewhere within a mile of the, t@rsection’ of of Grand ana Gravois, ere it would be easily accessible to the bulk of the South Side’s people, and not less than 120 acres in area. “Wie ought to buy it now,” he said, “while thé land,is cheap and before’ streets are 6Péned up through the available vacant spaces.” As @ means of affording much need- ei park space in the crowded and all but parkless downtown section of the city, constituting nearly oné-fifth of its area and housing nearly one-third of its 800,000 people, the proposed new hi alias liff. He hopes to see it voted through and made the beginning of the mod- ernization, for use and beauty, of downtown St. Louis. Forest Park Betterments. ponte « PARK, used by more peo- ple than any other, is undergo- ing betterments for recreative pirposes. Its playgrounds have been grouped aroufid Lindell Pavilion, which has been completely remodeled and proviied with 4000 lockers for players of games upon the diamonds, courts and lfiks which surround it. There is material’ in hand for two outdoor handball courts. In two or three months the Commissioner will have rogue courts ready for use— roque being an American style of the Victorian English game—by courtesy —known as croquet. These courts will be alongside Lindelt Pavilion. At the other side of Forest.Park, at King’s highway and Clayton road, a new play center is being developed, with five tennis courts and four baseball diamonis. This is neat Barnes Hos- pital.

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, April 12. — President Wilson is planning to make his delayed trip to the San Francisco Exposition as soon as foreign affairs permit. visers, it became known today, are very eager to have him make a number of speeches in different parts of the coun- try befors the opening of the next ses- sion of Congress. Friends of the President say the con- . templated trip cannot be called a ‘“‘cam- paign tour,” and they are preventing as far as possible the formation of “‘Wil- son Clubs,” to avoid even the appear ance of starting a boom. Although the political advisers of President Wilson say privately that, they have no doubt but that he will be re- nominated, it was indicated that there would be no formal launching of his carididacy, as such a step might em- barrass him in carrying out the policies of his administration. On the Western trip the President is expected to explain tne legislative pro- gram he will lay before the next ses- sion of Congress, including conserva- tion bills, the. Philippine bill, the Co- lombidh and Nicaraguan treaties, budget reform and probably Senate cloture. The President has decided. definitely not.to accompany Secretary Daniels on his contemplated trip through the Pan- aman Canal to San Francisco, in July. The President today accepted an in- vitation to speak in Philadelphia, May 10, before a large group of new Ameri- can citizens. He was much impressed with the idea of holding a meeting to impress American iceals on foreigners who have recently become citizens. _ An invitation to speak at Independ- ence Hall, Philadelphia, on July 4, has been declined. Mr. Wilson delivered an address there last Yndependence day, and Philadelphians had hoped to make the occasion an annual affair. The President, it was stated at the White House, would attend the annual luncheon of the Associated Press in New York on April 20, if public business pez- mitted.

He never is hoggish, being entirely satisfied with an.annual output on one circuit wallop. And for a minute yesterday it was thought that Hug’s great day had come. In the first inning he got ahold of Weil- man’s fast ball and projected a liner to right center, over C. Walker’s dome.. Of course W illiams, Walker and Shotton were playing a secondary infield defense with Hug at bat and the ball, once it had gy the outer pickets was on its way to the fence. But alas, the field was wet and instead of going to the fence it fell dead on the second hop and Hug was held on second. On a dry field it would have been a home run, and that’s some- thing worth seeing. On the spring training — in Texas the Brown outfielders batted better than 400 each. Their combined average in the spring series was .190. The total output of hits by Williams, Walker and Shotton was 18.

NEW YORK, April 13.—According to Bill McCarney, manager of Carl Morris, Jack Johnson's declaration that he won't fight again is bunk. He says that Johnson is signed up for a battle with any opponent that Peggy Betinson, director of the Na- tional Sporting Club of London, se- lects. Morris has received an offer y \to meet Bombardier Wells and Frank Moran in London within the next two months. If Carl wing these matches he has been assured that he'll get a chance to fight Jack Johnson. McCarney also declares that Charles de Haven, an actor, has een in- structed to sign u Mike Gibbons for a match with eorge Carpentier, Europe’s famous boxing champion, now serving in the French army, He says that Carpentier will pe given a furlough for a bout with ibbons. De Haven will meet Mike Gibbons when he returns here tonight. Coffey to Rest. Jim Coffey isn’t going to fight again for some time. His manager, Billy Gibson, has been flooded with offers from all over the world, but he is going to send him up to the country to rest for a couple of weeks. After this he is going him away with a bevy of trainers who'll work with him until Gibson is able to arrange a match with Willard, for which he is willing to eu uarantee $25,000. Sig! has beaten ive men in six weeks, four of whom he knocked out in ae total of iil rounds. Gibson says that lately Cof- fey has grown three-quarters of dn tg and gained eight pounds, mak- him only three _—— shorter in ~ ght and two and half inches shorter in reach than “Willard.

Ruling to Arrange Deal CINCINNATI, April 12.—Miller Hug: gins was expected to blow into Cin- cinnati Monday, to try to reach a defi- nite settlement of the Wingo equation. “I don’t see just what can be done,’ remarked Garry Herrmann. ‘The two clubs failed to come to any agreement in previous discussions and then we re- solved to leave it all to the Landis de- cision. If organized ball wins out, a trade can be made without the slightest bother. St. Louis can have choice of Marsans or of other players or cash. If the decision goes the other way, both Wingo and Marsans must be given up to the Federals. So why should we worry now?” Del Pratt Had Plate Stolen When Doc Lavan Gummed Up the Cards Dr. Lavan, Michigan, P operated poorly yesterday. In the enixth inning, after Del Pratt had put the Browns in the running with a triple, he waited on third while Kauffman popped to Miller. Then Del decid- ed to steal home and tie the score.

THT AWAiAAd PASAT REAG Ho ad PRGA mi Tee i TON A TR HEY dug into an ancient T Egyptian tomb last Fall and, among other things, found some seeds—corn seeds. The tomb was deep in the drifted sands of the desert and had been buried and forgotten thousands of years before the Christian era. One of the exploring party, who was of rather an inquisi- tive turn, said he had a notion to plant one of the seeds and Others laughed at him and said the the| seed was dead. He determined to try it. He got some good earth and planted the seed, and after due time a little tender shoot of green lifted its head above the soil, AND GREW. Had that humble little seed been planted instead of being buried, and the hundreds of seeds that would have grown from it been cultivated in turn, they would have grown corn enough to feed the world. And so it is with a dollar. When you waste it, or sow it in| waste places—bury it or hoard it, its usefulness is stifled—it remains—a dollar —lost —en- tombed. But plant it! Plant it in the good earth of the Mercantile Trust Company savings account and it will sprout pennies and blossom dimes and yield fruit in interest—over and over— more and more—’till it is al- most past believing. Plant $2 each week in the rich savings soil here and watch it grow. In a single year $2 a week blossoms into $105.95. In ten years $2 a week grows into a waving field of yellow backs, $1,244.69 strong!—a dol- lar harvest of plenty. Even if you have not begun your planting, it is not too late. The dollar will grow, the same as the seed from the tomb in old Egypt, if you will only be inquisitive enough to plant it. Is it not worth the trial? If so, why not today—now while you think of it?

GREAT INTEREST IN POPE'S INTERVIEW IN POST-DISPATCH Newspaper Praised for Enter- prise in Getting Statement on Peace From Pontiff. —_ By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau ef the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 12—The inter- view of Kari H. von Wiegand, special staff correspondent of the Post-Dispatch with Pope Benedict XV, was read with keen interest by thousands of people in Washington. President Wilson had read a copy of it Saturday night, and every member of his Cabinet read the inter- view yesterday. The enterprise of the Post-Dispatch was generally commend- ed by officials of the Government and leading churchmen and laymen of the capital. Members of the Cabinet took the po- sition that the President has the mat- ter of peace offers in hand and until he speaks his official family will not be interviewed. The Pope’s message, some of them said privately, is a great utterance, and should result in negotia- tions toward peace in the near future. Others, however, do not believe that the time to talk peace seriously has yet ar- rived. At the residence of the papal dele- gate it was stated that Mgr. Giovanni Bonzano had read the interview, but, in accordance wtih established custom, would not give out any statement for -| publication. Officials at the French\ embassy did not care to make any comment upon Pope Benedict's plea for peace. What Congresemen Say. Members of Congress also were deeply interested in the interview, some of their opinions follow: Senater Gore of Oklahoma: I feel sure that America sympathizes with such an expression and is willing to co- operate at the proper time with those who are seeking peace. When that time comes I personally hope for the con- clusion of an enduring peace, not a mere armistice that adjourns strife. There should be protection against any one man, two men or three, whether or not they wear crowns, plunging the world into war. Senator Poindexter of Washington: The interview with the Pope expressed the hope of most everyone that at the proper time this country will be in- fluential in bringing about peace. I fear there is not much opportunity for peace at this time. Senator Borah of Idaho: No doubt the United States will seize the first op- portune time to interpose its good graces in behalf of peace and in so doing will represent the wishes of an undividea people. Everybody wants peace, but it is useless to delude curselves with the belief that it is very near at hand and it is equally useless for the United States to make any attempt at peace before the time is ripe to do so. Senator Fletcher of orida: It is rather a bright spot ir the present sit- uation to see such a suggestion come from so high a source. Of course, I would be most glad if peace could be brought about. The details of a peace movement must, of course, be left to the President if this government is to take the initiative, and I am not sure but what at present an affirmative move might be premature, might retard the consummation of peace, if anything. The Rev. Aloysius J. Donlon, presi- dent of Georgetown University, said: “There are two great, factors to ald in bringing about peace—they are the Pope and the United States Government. I[ think that if the American people would take up the suggestion of the Pope and work in unison with him per- haps something might be done, although it is hard to see just now what could be done in the immediate future.”’ The Rev. BDugene A. Hannon, rector of St. Martin’s Catholic Church, de- scribes the Pope’s message as ‘a re- markable address, drawn with thai adroit statesmanship for which the school of Leo XIII and Rampola was so famous.” “It is a message,” said Father Han- nan, “that is bound to have a wide spread influence, for it comes from one whose neutrality is above question I know from reading the official organ of the Vatican, published in Rome, that the most terrific pressure has been brought to bear on His Holiness by each faction in the war to take its side and I doubt whether even Cardi- nal Gaspari, the Cardinal Secretary of fitate, knows which side, if any, the Holy Father favors. One thing is cer- tain, that is, Benedict XV does not want war.”’ “Message Meaningfal,” Says Arch- bishov John J. Glennen. Archbishop John J. Glennon gave this statement to the Post-Dispatch and the New York World: “The two ideas the Holy Father con- veys in the published interview are to avoid everything that might prolong the vtruggie, and to work unceasingly for peace, ° ‘In other words, to be strictly neutral as between nation and nation at war on the one hand, and to promote the opening of a way toward early peace on the other; this is the heart of the in- terview. The last, of course, is the most difficult to determine—when the psycho- logical moment has arrived to speak ef- fectively. To speak before that time has arrived might be hurtful rather than helpful. “Certainty, when it does arrive, Amer- ican should be prepared to speak. The Pope preaches the gospel of peace. It ‘s one that we can all treasure in our hearts, and in turn preach to our war- ring brethren. The two powers that the world today looks to to speak this mes- sage of peace, are the United States and the Papacy. This latest message in the form of an interview, shows that the Papacy stands ready, and your Gowv- ernment is undoubtedly fully ready if the time be opporturte te speak. ‘Tt appears to me that the Pontiff’s rnesmage is meaningful, since the VAti- can today is the only spot where repre- sentatives of the warring nations as- semble and exchange without prejudice in the presence of one absolutely. neu- Jiral the information and wishes of the ROWOrR.” __, saembigeeehgi lozn0=0n0———10 1 Store Closes at 6 P.

She was awarded a full opportunity during the next few days. Blackburn, the young manufacturer, called upon Eugenie the next evening. He was brisk, all business, constantly talking of his big iron factory, full of himself and the same. He had made and was making money and fancied that meant the acme of success. “A model young man,’ commented Aunt Eunice after he had gone. ‘In- tensely practical, and he will be a good provider; you can count on that.” tar Vincent Lind.

Keen-eyeé Aunt Eunice very readily traced that the heart’s desire of her gracious niece rested with neither of them, however. One afternoon as Eugenie and her munt sat engaged at some fancy work under the shade of a lawn tree, there Was a click at the gate. Mrs. Ward knew at once that the tall, graceful young man who entered the garden must be Vincent Lind. She noted a quick brightness in the eyes of Eu- ‘genie, a conscious flush as she felt the penetrating questioning glance of her aunt. ° “Well, aunty, what do you think of our young poet?’ challenged Eugenie, 7 brightly, an hour later, as Vincent de- parted. e *“He ig fairly enchanting,” Mrs. Ward, with enthusiasm. replied “Such - » beautiful thoughts!” " "Which doesn’t answer for the bread _ @nd butter, though,” put in Mr. Noyes, who had drifted up to the spot. “He is a dear, good fellow,’’ cham- piened Eugenie with more than usual animation. ‘Just look at this lovely bunch of the first .wild violets he Drought me.

Chapter XVI. | NE day upon my return from a ) roui.d of visits I was greeted by Jane, a Jane with a very anxious face, “Something is wrong with John,” she said tersely as I came into the living room, where she sat, the boy On her lap. “*“Why—what?” “Never ming asking questions. Do something for him,” she interrupted. “He has been fretful and cross all day, but since 3 o'clock he has been so quiet and feverish. I tried to find you, but of course you had time for every one except your own family,” with unusual sarcasm, which I did not notice, laying it to her anxiety over the boy. As Jane had said, the little chap was feverish, and I at once became aimost as alarmed as was Jane. He had been so thoroughly healthy that his sickness came ag a surprise. After giving him some simple reme- dies I tried to induce Jane (whom I could see was terribly unstrung and anxious) to go to bed and leave the baby in my care. But to all my urging she only shook her head. Finally I prevailed upon her to leave him long enough to put on a loose gown and so make herself more comfortable. As she placed him in my arms she said: “If he dies, I shall die too,’ and looking at me with wide, frightened eyes, she left the room before I could reply. But we were both very fond and proud of the little chap. He was very manly, and seldom if ever cried, no matter how badly he hurt himself. Always after a fall or a bump he would say: “I’se a brave soldier!” and wink away the tears. Jane, a Splendid Nurse. ANE soon returned, and finding J John easier, looked her relief as she took him again into her arms. All night lon~ she sat with the little fellow cradleqd against her breast, sat so quietly, fearing to dis- turb him, that I knew she must be cramped and uncomfortable, but nev- er listening when I urged her to go to bed, She simplv looked at me as though she did not understand my suggesting such a thing. Of course I shared her vigil, but lying on the couch, and so resting, if not sleeping. Toward morning he became more restless and she rocked him in her arms, singing a little lullaby in a low, soothing tone. This was the beginning of a sickness that lasted for some weeks, and during which Jane never left the baby’s side. Her meals even were eaten in the room where he lay, and nothing I could say would induce her to leave him for a moment. She would not allow anyone to do the slightest thing for him, and she grew pale and hollow-eyed from lack of sleep and exercise. But on the day when I told her he was out of danger, that now he would soon be well again, I caught her in my arms just as she would have fallen in a long faint that frightened me. “Tf the baby had died, George, I should have died, too,’’ she told ne again; aad looking back at that time, I believe she would. I had dimly realized during John’s sickness that Jane possessed a wealth of love and tenderness of which I had not dreamed her capable, a love, a loy- alty and devotion that never could be bought, that never could be repaid. And I—as well as our boy—could have had this love, this devotion, had I not blind- ly willed it otherwise. Work Is Again Renewed.

THE EASIEST WAY TO END DANDRUFF There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, or- dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com- pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and-trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluf- fy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.—ADV.

NOTHING BETTER FOR WEAK WOMEN ‘‘I Never Spent Any Money That Did Me So Much Good as That I Spent for Vinol.’’ “IT wish every tired, weak, nerv- ous woman could have Vinol, for I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good as that I spent for Vinol. My nerves were in a very bad condition, making me very weak, tired and worn out and often drowsy headaches. I had tried cod liver oil, doctor’s medicines, and other preparations without benefit. “One day a friend asked me to try Vinol. I did and soon my appetite increased. I slept better and now I am strong, vigorous and well and can do my housework with pleas- ure.”—MRS. J. F. LAMBORN, Belle- fontaine? Ohio. Nervous, weak, tired, worn-out women should take Mrs. Lamborn’s advice and try Vinol, for there are literally thousands of men and women who were formerly run-down, weak and nervous, who owe their good health to Vinol. It is the medicinal, tissue-building elements of the cod’s liver, aided by the blood-making, strengthening influence of tonic iron contained in Vinol which makes it so efficient in all such cases.

The next morning wnen he was walk- ing in his garden he saw a lily which was taller than the others, and when he drew nearer to it he saw a dainty face looking at him from inside the flower. And when he touched it a pretty lit- tle girl appeared. Her eyes were very blue and her hair the color of gold. “The fairies sent me to live with you,’”’ she said, “and my name is Elsa.” T HE King was delighted when he saw the fairies had sent hfm such a beautiful daughter, and he gave her a coach and six black horses to draw it, lovely clothes, and, in fact, everything to make her happy and beautiful. After a few years thé little Princess grew to] be a young lady and the King thought it was time for her to marry one of the rich Princes from the adjoining king- doms. The Princess, however, did not care for any of the Princes her father selected, and told him she would rather live with him in the castle and not marry anyone whom she did not love. The King had forgotten all about the fairies of his promises, it was so many years ago he had asked for a daughter, so when the Princess begged him not to make her marry. and leave him he told her she must choose or he would put her in one of the tower rooms of the castle, and she should stay there until she could do as he wished her to do. So the Princess went to the tower and there she sat for days weeping and very unhappy. One night ‘she heard a tapping on the window and when she opened it a night- ingale flew in and on its back was a fairy. “Dry your eyes,’’ she told the Prin- cess, “‘you are to leave this place and go where you will be treated kindly, and where you will never shed any more tears,” and as she spoke the fairy touched the Princess with her wand and she became as small as herself. The nightingale carried both of them off on its back and they were soon in the dell where the fairy Queen was waiting for them. HEN the King found the Princess was not in the tower he became frightened and feared some dreadful thing might have happened to her: then he began to think how much he loved her and wished her back. He would walk through the garden crying and wringing his hands, wishing le could have her again. One day a fairy appeared to nim and said: ‘‘We took away your daughter because you aid not think of her happiness; you thought only of yourself and the riches you would possess when she married a rich Prince.” ‘Bring me something from her that I may know that she has forgiven me,” raid the King. “I can never be happy cgain until I know she has forgiven me.”’ The next morning when the King went into the garden all around the trees and along the paths were the dearest little blue flowers and the fairy, who was von a bush waiting for the King, said: “She has sent you these."’ The King looked and saw that tho flowers were the color of the Princess’ eyes, and he knew that she had forgiven him, even if she would never come tu live with him again. Every day while the flowers biocomed the King walked among the little blue fowers, and he named them forget-me- nots, because the little flowers looked like the Princess’ eyes and they seemed to say to him “forget me not.” (Copyright by the Pm me Newspaper Syn- Interchanges of Names.

SALE 7 ALLIES CEASE Exports Will Be Stopped, Says Note, if America Desires to Observe True Neutrality. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, April 12. — German embassy officials stated today that Count von Bernstorf,, German Ambas- sador, acted under instructions from the Berlin Foreign Office 1n presenting the recent note or memorandum to the State Department, complaining that, while the United States had failed to maintain its right to export foodstuffs to German¢?, American manufacturers were permitted to continue shipping munitions of war in unlimited quanti- ties to Great Britain and her allies. Some question had arisen as to wheth- er Count von Bernstorff acted on his own authority, since the document, 4 diplomatic ‘ memorandum,” was phrased by the embassy. Surprise is expressed that the note should be made public through some other channel than the State Depart- ment, and Counsellor Lansing said with emphasis that nobody in the depart- ment was responsible for the summary or of the text of the note. - The German note is looked upon in official circles in Washington as more of an appeal to the American people than to the State Department. The note reads; “The different British orders in coun- cil have altered the universally recog- nized rules of international law in such a one-sided manner that they arbitrar- ily suppress the trade of neutral coun- tries with Germany. Already, prior to the last order in council, the shipment of- conditional contraband, especially foodstuffs, to Germany, was practically impossible. In fact, prior to the protest which the American Government made in London on Dec. 28, 1914, not a singie shipment of such goods for Germany has been effected from the United States. Also, after the lodging of the protest and as far as is known to the German embassy, only one such ship- ment has been attempted by an Ameri- can skipper. Ship and cargo were im- mediately seized by the British and are still detained at a British port. As a pretext for this unwarranted action, the British Government referred to a decree of the German Federal council con- cerning the wheat trade, although this decree only covered wheat and flour and no other foodstuffs, although im- ported foodstuffs were especially ex- empt from this decree and although the German Government had given all nec- essary guarantees to the United States Government and had even proposed a special organization tn order to secure these foodstuffs for the exclusive con- sumption of the civilian population. German Assumption. “The seizure of an American ship un- der these circumstances was in contra- diction with the recognized principles of international law. Nevertheless, the United States Government has not yet obtained the release of the ship nor has it after eight months of war succeeded in safeguarding the legitimate American trade with Germany. Such a delay, es- pecially when the supply of foodstuffs is concerned, seems equivalent to com- ‘plete failure. It is, therefore, to be as- sumed that the United States Govern- ment has accepted England’s violations of international law. “Furthermore has to be considered the attitude of the Government of the United States concerning the question of the exportation of war material. The imperial embassy hopes to agree with the Government of the United States in assuming that with regard to the question of neutrality there is not only the formal side to be con- sidered, but also the spirit in which the neutrality is enforced. “Conditions in the present war are different from those in any former wars. For this reason it is not justi- fied to point at the fact that perhaps in former wars, Germany furnished belligerents with war material. Because in those former cases the question was not whether any war material was to be furnished to the belligerents, but merely which one of the competing countries would furnish it; in the pres- ent war, with the exception of the United States, all the countries capable of a noteworthy production of war ma- terial are either at war themselves or completing their armaments and have accordingly prohibited the exportation of war materia]. Therefore, the United States of America is the only coun- try in a position to export war ma- terial. This fact ought to give a new meaning to the idea of neutrality in- dependent of the formal law. “Instead of that, and in contradiction with the real spirit of neutrality, an enormous new industry of War mate- rials of every kind is being built up in the United States, inasmuch as not only the existing plants are kept busy and enlarged, but also new ones are continually founded. “The New War Industry.” “The international agreements for the protection of the right of the neutrals originates in the necessity of protecting the existing industries of the neutral countries. They were never intended to encourage the creation of entirely new industries, in neutral states as, for in- stance, the new war industry in the United States, which supplies only one party of the belligerents. “In reality the American industry is supplying only Germany’s enemies, a fact which is in no way modified by the purely theoretical willingness to fur- nish Germany as well, if it were possi- ble. “If the American people desire to ob- serve true neutrality they will find means to stop the exclusive exportation of arms to one side, or at least, to use this export trade as a means to uphold the legitimate trade with Germany, es- pecially the trade in foodstuffs. This smvirit of neutrality should appear the more justified’to the United States, as it has been maintained towards Mexico. “According to the declaration of a Congressman made in the House Com- ]1914, President Wilson is quoted as hav-;effect that American officials were ir- ritated at the announcement of the American Consul at Hamburg to be suspected of being loaded with arms ing said, on Feb, 4, 1914, when the em- bargo on arms fof Mexico was lifted: “"We should stand for genuine neu- trality, considering the surrounding facts of the case. He then held in that case that because Carranza had no ports, while Huerta had them, and was able to import these materials, it was our duty, as a nation, to treat them (Caranza and Huerta) upon an equality if we wished to observe the true spirit ef neutrality as compared with a mere paper neutrality.’ “This conception of ‘the true spirit of neutrality’ if applied to the present case, would lead to an embargo on arms.,”’ In reply to published reports té6 the = — lila A LL LOD for use ageinst the United States in Cuba. Mr. White said: “I hastened to. the Foreign Office and urged that vigorous steps be taken with the result that the vessel, which in the meantime had left Hamburg, Was overhauled and searched at the mouth of the Elbe. The German Gov- embassy’s intention to make the memo- randum. public, Count von Bernstorff said: “There is nothing unusual in its pub- lication, as all the American notes that went to Berlin, including that regard- ing the Frye case; have been published. As to further criticisms that Germany had in former wars taken the same at- titude as the United States in regard to the sale of ammunition to belliger- ents, I desire to call attention to what Andrew D. White, American Ambassa- dor to Germany at the time of the Spanish-American War, said in his au- toblography in regard to the Spanish vessel] which was reported-by the this duty was incumbent upon t ligerent nation concerned.’ ” TET ‘Onvu joy AAG Ps ? a, FLAC Tf Walk¥ “Put on a pair of Spring-Step Heels.” Say that to any reliable dealer.

Gordon cited section 19, article 10, of the Constitution, which prohibits the paying out of any money by the Treas- urer, except in pursuance of an appro- priation by law, and reads as follows: “No moneys shal] ever be paid out of the Treasury of this State, or any of the funds under its management, excert -. tn pursuance of an appropriation by law, nor unless such payment be made, or a warrant shall have issued therefor ’ within two years after the passage: of ’' guch appropriation act.’’ - The commissions appointed by the Sen- ~ ate and the amounts which that body at- . tempted to appropriate for each; in the resolution which created it, are as fol- lows: Insurance Commission, $10,000 comprised of Senators Morton, Harris, Mitchell, Gardner and Anderson; Wom- en's Wage Commission, $3000, comprised of Senators Kinney, Greene, Brogan and Whitledge; Children’s Wage Commis- sion, $1500, comprised of Senators Moore, Welch and Wallace.

The market closed irregular, but at fairly wide gains from Saturday's fina) figures. The weather map showed seasonable conditions over the domestic winter belt, but the forecast was for higher tem- peratures without rain over a wide ter- ritory and there is considerable wheat in the Southwest that still needs molst- ure. Receipts of wheat continue to run light. Minneapolis had 148 cars, against 200 last week-and 215 last year. Duluth, 63, against 147 and 32. Winnipeg, 287, against 447 and 445. Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased 180,000 bu in two days. Local wheat receipts were 69,600 bu, against 87,600 bu last year. Corn, 220,80 bu, against 67,20 bu. Oats, 142,800 bu, against 117,300 bu. Wheat on passage last week totaled 56,784,000 bu, against 69,320,000 bu the pre- vious week and 60,024,000 bu last year. Corn futures were firm and fractional- ly higher despite liberal receipts. World's shipments for the last week were 2,868,- bu, against 5,166,000 bu the previous week and 4,072,000 bu last year. Spot corn in Liverpool was %d higher and the amount on passage decreased to 16,737,- 000 bu, against 18,369,000 bu the week be- fore and 8,254,000 bu last year. Oats were firm with corn. The market in coarse grains closed irregular at slight gains. Total primary wheat receipts were 497,000 bu, against 523,000 bu last year; shipments, 209,000 bu, against 361,000 bu last year.

Secretary of the Oklahoma Grain Dealers’ Association writes the Grain Dealers’ Journal as follows: “Rains throughout the State which have been falling the last two or three days, brighten our prospects and never before have I seen at this time of year better bu -=s« last pteveet corn decreased 73,000 bu; oats ecrease Russells New York News said: “Exporters aay that the advance in wheat made bids unworkable. The previous estimate of 350,000 bu, which includes over-night business in Gulf, American and Canadian spring wheats, has not been added to. The oats business is not large, according to most interests.
