PERKINS. had sown in universal education and intercom- munication, One of the heenest observers the situation was a silent man at the very head of America’s financial and industrial life. He was so silent that he was misunderstood and died before the people ever had an opportunity to ‘appraise his character. He was J. P. Morgan. Being at the head of industry during such a turmoil, he was often caricatured as the embodiment of capital- istic greed. As a matter of fact, he sympathized keenly—much more keenly than did many of his askociates—with labor’s demands. He saw the justice of them, and he, more than any other in- dustrial magnate of his time, took the workers’ side in the constantly recurring controversies. To establish a just relation between capital and labor was his constant aim; not a mere temporary truce, continual breakdowns of the industrial machine—:but a permanent, working harmony. this was the order, or rather the disorder, of the day. Socialism grew. Syndicalism was born. The doctrine of the “class war’’ seemed to be well il- lustrated in facts, facts which were under every- body’s observation. - A house divided against itself cannot stand. In- dustry cannot continue to develop upon a war basis. in the success of the industry, the most perfect mechanical system will lag and break. And the system of working for a flat rate per week, re- gardless of the success or failure of the undertak- ing, has failed more and more to inspire a loyal interest on the part of the wage earners in the business which employes them. This is not the discovery of a social reformer, ‘ It is a fact which all practical business men must recognize. It will not do simply to deplore the loss of loyalty” among the workers. We must understand why that loyalty has vanished. The, answer is found in the very things which made industry on a large scale possible, universal education and intercommunication. Without these, modern industry could not exist. With them, the ancient relations of capital and labor cannot exist. To speak of the tariff, high or low, as the main cause of industrial growth or industrial unrest is the loosest kind of talk. Free trade could be instituted tomorrow and no intelligent man would expect to see a single so-called trust go put of business, But take away electricity and the print- ing press, and not one of them could continue a single day. These forces, which have made it pos- sible for all the world to get acquainted with all the world, have made large-scale industry possible, They have also revolutionized the relation of the man of capital to the man of labor. They were once known as “owner and slave.” Later it was master and man,“ a very different expression, although the mastery was still all on one side. Finally they became “employer and em- ploye,” indicating that labor had risen to the po- sition of a contracting party. With this relation began a struggle on the part of the worker for something more than a mere living. Result of Worker’s Education. D struck at first for a “raise,” on the the- ory that $2.25 a day was more desirable | than $2. If he got it, he struck again. You couldn’t blame him. Three dollars a day was better yet.

The Shoe eee eee ae light, ee gee - ee ad ed gto oom Unless the workers have a direct interest the further development of industry no gae will deny. What it would mean to both capital and labor almost transcends imagination. But that it can never come hy a mere raising of wages is now a demonstrated economic fact. Co-Operation Only Means. HERE is only one way open. That is through 3 actual co-operation and profit sharing. Why not? Why should not the workers ir each industry become partners in that industry? I* is not a matter of charity, but a matter of right. Their position as workers entitles them to their full share in the benefits of industry. Industry demands that they feel a personal interest and re- That this permanent harmony is essen*‘al | sponsibility. Their lives are as much a part of the investment as is the money which the cap- italistic investors subscribe.’ Why should not those lives draw dividends, too? This is the recog- nition of labor in a somewhat different way than the labor unions have clamored for it. But it is an important retognition and embodies the very thing which the unions have been fighting for. On the other hand, it means no opposition to capital. It renders industry constant and invest- ment secure. It raises both capital and labor to the highest point of efficiency by utilizing all the energy which is now wasted in futile conflict, in active work for mutual advantage. The tendency toward the new idea must be noted by everyone. At last winter’s session of the Industrial Relations Commission it furnished the dominant note. To the gre .najority of observ- ers Mr. Rockefeller and wis collagues appeared as converted beings, men altogether unlike the irre- sponsible tyrants they were presumed to be. Mr; Rockefeller’s meeting with Mother Jones, which so captured the public imagination, must be considered as something more than a piece of stage play. It would be wrong, of course, to think of its marking a sudden turnabout in the industrial world. But it illustrated a new tendency, a tend- encx so marked that one of the keenest observ- ers of it, Miss Ida Tarbell, original muck-raker o? Standard Oil, has been inspired to write upon “the golden rule in business.” The tendency has shown itself in varied experl- ments with various degrees of success and fail- ure. No doubt the old idea of “piece-work” as op- posed to flat wage scale was inspired by some idea of co-operation. The net result, however, was disappointing. The principle of the old system was retained. Wages, which usually represented jungle, a¥ the enlightened. worker spurns the thought. HOUSE divided against itself cannot stand. Industry can- not continue to develop -up- on a war basis. Unless the workers have a direct interest in the success of the industry, the most perfect mechanical system will lag and break., And the system of working for a flat rate per week, regardless of the success or fatlure of the un- dertaking, has failed more and more to inspire a loyal interest on the part of the wage earners in the business which employs them. This is not the discovery of a social reformer. lt is q fact which all practical business men must recognize. It will not do simply to,deplore the “loss of loy- alty”? among the workers. We must understand: why that loyalty has vanished—_ GEORGE W. PERKINS. partakes of the nature of charity or gratuity and The worker has become a different man since. the school and the newspaper and the telephone came Into his life. He wants his rights now, not a pat on the back and a Christmas turkey. If he accepts the bonus as a right and not a gift, he is in no better position than if he had received a raise in wages. He reckons on his bonus just as he reckons on his wages and spends them both as soon as he gets them, if not before. Also, he feels himself exploited in as great a degree as he was before. Even though his in- come may have increased, his share in the product has not. And his position in Feline to the in- dustry is unchanged. When his labor power is gone, he is gone. He may wear out his life in the factory and be laid off to make way for younger and more competent men. In former days such a man was cheerfully scrapped with the comfortable statement that it was his own fault if he did not save. The new capitalism is not content with such a verdict. It is taking à social, if not a socialistic, view. It deals with men as they are, not as they ought to be, and realizes, whether the individual is at fault or not, the social result 18 équally bad. To improve on this situation many employers devised various philanthropic schemes. The workers were the first to object. They said they did not want anyone spending their money for them. If they had their rights, they reasoned, they could take care of themselves. Various Profit-Sharing Disguises. NTER actual profit-sharing. It has entered E. in all sorts of guises and disguises, run- ning the gauntlet from fantastic humani- tarian experiments to grudgingly given dividend systems about which too many questions may not te asked, There are plain counterfeits appearing, too. To the public the situation must present a confused jumble and labor can be forgiven for showing an attitude of suspicion. But through all the confusion business seems to be finding the certain course—straight, open-and-above-board proftit sharing, in which the workers become actual partners in industry -itself. The last two decades have brought about a change in attitude of capital which amounts to al- most revolution. Few large capitalists today will say: run it as I see fit.“ The welfare of the workers in any industry is conceded to be very much the business of the whole people, and business is beginning to appre- ciate that it is the business of business, too. Following the lead of the profit-sharing plan of the Steel Corporation, inaugurated 13 years ago, a large number of industrial concerns have intro- duced plans based on the principle adopted by the Steel Corporation, and today many thousands of men, through ownership of securities in these vari- ous industrials, are actual partners in the con- cerns, All such men, for services rendered, re- ceive their regular wages, and in addition ‘such profits as come to them through the profit-shar- ing plans of the company with which they are associated. This increases the compensation of the laboring men and at the same time increases his interest in the business in which he is en- gaged. His surplus earnings become invested in the business; he becomes a partner. No longer does his interest in the business cease with his hours of labor; it continues in his mind whether he is at the shop or at home, in precisely the seme way that his employer’s interest continues. Thus we approach the great new period of copart- nership. The system by which capital and labor stand off and fight each other must be ended very soon or industry will be brought to chaos. With the pub- lic alive to the social significance of profit shar- ing, the change will shortly be made. If our free educational system is to mean any- thing worth while, should it not lead us out of the from war and competition, into a sys- what the workers out of work were willing to tem of common interest and common aims? It we work for, were simply supplanted by a percentage which those out of work were willing to work for. TWA stanterd ot Brine dit aot Hide. ded Mie} are to et ee ee wus honky .

S Marriage of Miss Ruth Bixby to Ir A. Stevens Will Take Place May 17 and Wedding Will Be a Small One, Bride and Bridegroom Each Having Only One Attendant—Once There Was a Superstition That It Was Unlucky to Wed on Saturday and in May, but Styles Have Changed and Old Belief Has Been Lost. _ By Frances Cabanne Scovel. NCE upon a time it was supposed to be unlucky to be married in May. How the belief came about is not known. Also there was a superstition it was unhicky to be married on Saturday, accord- ing to a rhyme that goes “Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth (or the other way round), Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses and Saturday NO DAY AT ALL.“ But no one pays any attention to these superstitions these days. A wirl chooses any day she wants, and Entyrday has become quite a fash- jonable one for weddings. So has May become a favorite month for weddings, especially in St. Louis. Perhaps it is because May is always so lovely here, and perhaps old supersti- tions-no longer hold good, times having changed. One of the most important weddings in May will be that of Miss Ruth Bixby. who has chosen the seventeenth for her marriage to Ir A. Stevens. It will take place in the evening at 6 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William K. Bixby on Lindell boulevard and King's highway. It will be a small wedding, because Mrs. E. L. Bixby, the bride’s ' grandmother, who is more than 90 years old, has not been well of late. So Miss Bixby will have but one bride- mad, Miss Edith Whittemore, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Churchill Whit- ftemore, and Mr. Stevens will have just his best man, Edward Hotchkiss. The ceremony will be in the art gal- lery of the Bixby home, a great« room Shaped like a square cross. After the return from their wedding trip Mr. Stevens and his bride will be at home in 1 Pe one of vant Tudor Apartments. wry, . Nor HER May wedding will be Miss Caroline Garrett's to Richard J Stanley Tuthill Jr. of Chicago, and which will be May 10. The ceremony will be at St. Peters’ Episcopal Church, followed by a small reception at the nome of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Garrett of 29 Kingsbury ert * ">. Miss Stella Garrett will be maid of vhehor and Miss Elizabeth Hays, Miss Ann Lowe and Miss Harriet Tuthill of Chicago and Miss Stella Bryant of Mont- clair, N. J., will be bridemaids. HY is it that persons who have — rather small houses do not have . their weddings at clubs and ho- ep tels where there are rooms well adapted tor such affairs and that lend them- selves so well to decoration. Of course it has always been the custom among 2: _prominent Jewish families here to have A their weddings at the Columbian Club 9 ‘whether they have large houses or not and often such weddings are celebrated in one of the fashionable hotels. With- in the past two or tnree years several notable weddings have been held in hotels and one, Miss Helen Givens’ to William Barton, was at the Woman's Club, to be one of the prettiest ot the season, and one or two, includ- ing Miss Olive Rae’s to Charles Burn- nam Squier at the Buckingham. But after Miss Lelia Dixon’s wedding to James Walker Cain, Wednesday ‘evening at the Hamilton Hotel, there ‘s every reason to start a new fashion in wedding celebrations. The ceremony was performed in the ‘large drawing room which is panneled ‘in green brocade bordered in pink. Four columns form a square in the middie of the room and each was wrapped ‘with smilax and had a huge French basket fastened to it, arranged so that quantities of Easter lilies semed to be spilling from it. . The entire east wall opposite the entrance of the room was hung with smilax, and an altar was improvised with three tall candies on either side, each one rising out of a lily. Between } columns were white pedestals topped ‘with great bunches of lilies: Forming an aisle from the doorway to the altar were white satin ribbons wrapped with | emilax. They were fastened to the col- - -@ ‘umn and festooned between. The bridal party was rather unusual as it included every member of the two families. The bride’s sister, Miss Mary Dixon, ‘was ber maid of honor. Her mother, — William Dixon, Was one of the a of honor and the bridegroom’s 2 2 was the other. His brother, . Benjamin S. Cain, was dest man, and his er was one of the ushers. The bride's gave her away., The bride’s cousins, lane Nelle and Sara. Kouns of Topeka, Kan., were bride- maids.

Pots of tall lies with white satin ribbons formed an aisle through whicn the bridal party entered. The bride’s gown of ivory satin with a court train was trimmed with point applique lace and her veil of the same was held in place by the usual wreath of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of bride roses and Ilies of the valley. The only ornament worn was a diamond and platinum brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. Miss Blanche Nolan, wh» was her sister’s only attendant, wore a gown of white net combined with rale pink and blue satin, and carried a bou- quet of pink roses wrth showers of pale blue. The bride’s gift to her sister, a string of gold beads, completed the cos- tume. As at the last minute, Lieut. J. R. Davis, C. A. C., who was to have been best man, was detained at Fort Wright, Lieut. C. C. Keleher filled his place. The music was furnished by the Jeffer- gon Barracks Orchestra and arranged by Chief Musician J.

The table was decorated in white and at either end was a wedding cake, which were cut with the bridegroom's saber in military fashion.

S. Neutrality Centiaued From Page One. viciously, by the Germans themselves. There are those, however, in this coun- try, who have been as illogical, as un- reasonable and unwise as the Ger- mans. They have been unable to under- stand why, when the Americans in an immense majority favored the allies, the American Government should remain neutral or should not completely and openly support the allies. United States should not officially have condemned Germany for its violation of Belgian neutrality. The position is short sighted, is unjust and is pedantic. The newspapers and the people of the United States have been free to express themselves untrammelled by any com- plication which might have occurred if, for instance, Germany had told the United, States to mind her own business on the receipt ef an official note con- veying reproach. The reply to the few dissatisfied people in England to this would be, Ah, then, the United States, if she were chal- lenged by Germany, would abandon her neutrality and take part in the war on the side of the allies!’’ To very many others, however, it is infinitely better for the world’s sake and I believe for our own, that the United States should not abandon het neutral- ity. It may be that many more nations than are now at war in Europe will be involved before summer has come. In the interests of a stable civiliza- tion it is essential that steadying, whole- | some, dispassionate and honorable in- fluence of the United States should, un- hampered by the terrible restrictions of | belligerency, be uged in the interests of the whole world and particularly in the interests of the small nations when the end of this war comes. Against militarism and the results of militarism the United States is opposed to a man. Conceive what would be the state of Belgium today if the United States had abandoned her neutrality in favor of the allies. Milliong in Belgium would be starving. Since August last the United States has been busy in the interests of humanity, lessening the borrors of war by hospital relief, providing com- forts and necessities through an awful winter for the wounded of all ths na- tions engaged. Every week there comes from the United States especial gifts to each State, ships loaded with flour and food of all kinds for a people whose land has been denuded as locusts ravage the fields of ripening grain and leave them bare. If for no other reason the neutrality of the United States should be welcomed by every British man because of what she has done for suffering, starving and tortured Belgium. If humanity is indebted to the United States Government, for the incalculable service it is rendering in bringing relief to Belgium, how grateful should this country be to the American Goverrinent for the services rendered to our theu- sands of prisoners in Germany. The American Ambassadors in London and Berlin and the whole ambassadori-:l staff have been placed at the services of our suffering wounded and ou” help- less officers and men, who have had in- sufficient clothing and insufficient food. American Ne apers Fair. Newspaper men in Great Britain will gallantly agree that tte American press has exhibited the greatest enterprise and shown extraordinary ability in deal- ing with ‘the war in their editorial col- umns. : I have watched American opinion. I have read scores of American newspa- pers steadily; I have received vast num- bers of letters from prominent Ameri- cans of all professions and positions since this war began. I am convinced that the American people understand this war even better than we do. As one prominent American wrote to me: “You are fighting as you never fought before; and we are thinking as we never thought before, not even in the days of our struggle to preserve the Union.” I ask such fellow countrymen of mine as have been impatient with the Gov- ernment at. Washington, whether they have fully estimated the value of the moral support given to us by the people of the United States. Is there no material power in sympa- thy? The voice that says outside the ring, Tour cause is just, fight on,” gives a higher volume of energy. Sympathy makes for the understand- ing and that understanding was never more valuable than when we departed from the old traditional blockade and relied upon the United States to see that our interpretation of the principles of international law had not been changed by the new practice we were compelled to make. Sympathy disarmed suspicion of motive and of act. —" Lincoln on Meral Support. Nothing has ever been said upon this matter of international sympathy and support which has the meaning and per- manency of the reply of Abraham Lin- coln on the 19th of January, 1863, to an address from the workingmen of ‘Manchester, This is what Lincoln said: ‘It is not always in the power of Governments to enlarge or restrict the scope of moral results Which follow the policies that they may deem it neces- sary for the public safety to adopt. I have understood well that the duty of self-preservation rests solely with the American people. “But I have, at the same time, been aware that favor or disfavor of for- eign nations might have a material m- fluence in enlarging or prolonging the struggle. 1 have, therefore, reck- oned on the forbearance of nations. “Circumstances—to some of which you kindly allude—induce me especially to oxpect that if justice an] good faith should be practiced by the United Siates they would encounter no hostile influence on the part of Great Britain. “It is now a pleasant duty to ac- knowledge the demonstration you have given of your desire that a spirit of amity ond peace toward this country They cannot understand why the] she is dy the kindred nation which has its home on this side of the Atlantic.“ So much for the value which Lincoln placed upon the moral support offered ty public opinion. Not Commercial Question. Here and there in is country it has been said that the United States kept silence officially when Belgium was invaded, but became animated and vocal when American oommeree was touched; that she was chiefly con- cerned in making money out of this war. Tt is mot really necessary to reply to such foolish statements; out, if it were the critic could be reminded that again and again, whea other countries have been at war, Great Britain has been charged with anxiety to secure advant- uge and make money out of other peo. rle’s troubles. part and the micdle of last century Great Britain did greatly profit by ths wars which upset the trade and com- merce and industry of other countries. I do deeply trust that the United States Will increase the production of her soi] ond the production of her workshops while this war is on, over. Her prosperity would be an advant- age and not a disadvantage to the bei- ligerents. It is essential that the United States should have a population at Peace, cultivating the soil, developing industry, while Furope is in a state of war: that at least ono great power shall not be building up thousands of shall be free from the direct disturb- ance of finance. Heart Still Rules, The vast majority of the people of this country profcundly believe that if it could choose the American nation would not have this war if it meant a tenfold increase to its prosperity. The almighty heart is still stronger in the United States than the almighty dollar. The American pecple may rest as- sured that in this country the immense majority are deeply and profoundly grateful to them for their chivalrous and genuine sympathy. Not simply be- cause it is sympathy, but because the American people have made up their minds that we are rignt. We should have had many searchings of conscience if the judgment of the at this time.

GOLDWATER'S visit to St. Louis last week w made, in part, in ord to look for a man to ii his place as Health Commissioner of the City of New York. The post pays $7500 a year, and the department has 3400 employes Dr. Goldwater recently told Mayor Mitchel that he wished to be relieved of his duties of the past two years and a half, and to return to private prac- tice and hoapttal work. The Mayor consented to let him go, on condition that he would find another Health Commissioner | for the city, There was no limi- tation of residence, he was told, so long as the man selected was an American citizen. The commissioner said he weuld see what he could do. He went to Chicago before coming here, and talked to some men who have attained note in the public health serv- lde and in hospital work. A re- port that he had determined on a Chicago man was telegraphed ° from that city to New York | newspapers. But when in St. Louis, Dr. Goldwater said he had not made up his mind, and that he was going to interview more men, some of them in St. Louis. He would not name anyone whom he had seen here, or whom he expected to see, aside from the medical men whom he met at the Washington Univer- | ity celebration. lic spirit, but who are looking for prof- its first. “The company’s reply to complaints about crowding of the cars has been that the ‘maximum service’ was being given. The Public Service Commission seemed to be convinced that this was true. I was never convinced of this, and I was still less convinced when I saw that, as soon as the traffic would slack- en somewhat, the number of cars would be reduced, that the crowding would be practically the same. “This applied to the ‘nonrush’ hours of the day, and it applied also to the sum- much lighter on all city lines than in winter. Hither by timing the service, or by visiting the car barns and seeing the number of idle cars, it was easy to figure out the company’s method—name- time. “In the efforts that the Health De- partment has made to clean up the we have found that we had to consider the conditions in the cars where 80 many of the people spend an hour or more of every working day. The effect of street car conditions on health would, naturally, be chiefly in the winter time en the surface and L' lines, but would be an all-year matter in the subway. Freedom of Movement Demanded, “The Health Department made labo- ratory tests of the air in crowded street cars, and showed that infection was not only possible, but likely, when persons were crowded against each other as they were in the car aisles. When an api- demic of coldg and sore throats spread through the city, I was ready to prove scientifically that it was due largely to the transportation conditions. * “I took the matter up with the chair- man of the Public Service Commission and he seemed to think’ nothing could be done. He said the ‘limit of human endeavor’ had been reached in the ef- forts which he had made to get the company to provide sufficient service. Another member of the commission put the matter somewhat differently. He pointed out that the commission had issued 6 specific orders, none of which had bem heeded. The orders, he said, had been based on investigations made by the Transit Bureau of the commis- sion. “T decided to issue one order, not 65 orders, and to make that one order go. The way to do it, I decided; was to put the order in such form that fail- ure to comply with it would create not one offense, but a series.of offenses. Order Issued Last January. “In January I issued the order. It was that not more than one person should stand in the cars for every two persons occupying seats. This is not the ideal condition of a seat for every passenger, but it allows freedom of movement through the car and kéeps people from having to stand jammed together, breathing and coughing into each other’s face. The order was s0 worded that eve- ry overcrowded car constit«ted a vio- lation. It was based on the city's power to forbid the maintenance of any conditions which are a menace to public health. “As was to be expected, the com- panies disputed the Health Commis- ysioner’s authority to make any such order, and as was also to be expected, they proposed to bring a test case in court. A test case would run through the season, maybe through two sea- sons, and they would leave the serv- ice as it was. Then, when they lost the test case, they would be out only one fine of $260. “So my reply to the suggestion of a test case was that I would not have one test case, but that I was quite willing to have 1000 test cases, The Health Department, I stated, was quite ready to gather evidence vy wholesale and to pile up any number of prosecutions. Multiplicity ot Test Cases Planned. “Well, the companies complied. I had only Manhattan and Brooklyn in mind when I issued the order, but n a few days I began to receiye let- ters from Staten Island, thanking me for the improvement in conditions on the trolley cars there. I wasn’t after the Staten Island street car people, but they seemed to think I was, and reformed before we knew how bad they were.” (A case of “the wicked flee when no man pursueth.”): mer months, when travel is normally ly, to run as few cars as possible at any tenements and improve living conditions, > ae * 5 aR, we . * 2 AR ee oo 75 e F Nee 2 5 Kx SY eine a gh ee? ta: A Star reek Lek ne wre 1 C FN a Lah BPN U8 4 * e Ny vpn «te * wt „ CX ag F 1 re * ! 2 2 9 Pon wt ¢ 9 3 5 bets 5 yt SET bes 8 * * * * * eS Vat - * * — if x . ee 2 5 f . th * 3 r 7 . 1 * 2 8 eae r os 5 ‘ * E ¥ , ig ; — . * . * 7 * A aS 9 1 3 — 7 4 7 8 7 : . * — 4 2 5 7 7 4 7 é * * PATS my authority, vut the Inter- complies.

The divi- sion consisted of three infantry brig- ades in addition to the arcillery Lrig- ades.”’ After telling of the release of the gas forcing the French backward, Sir Max reported that this left the Canadian division “with its left in the air,“ an extremely grave condition. It became imperatively necessary greatly to extend the Canadian lines to the left rear. Four British Guns Captured. In the course of the confusion which followed upon the readjustment of posi- tion,“ the account says, “the enemy, who had advanced rapidly after his ini- tial successes, took four British 47 guns in a small wood to the west of the vil- lage of St. Julien, two miles in the rear of the original French trenches. The enemy’s attack developed with particu- lar intensity upon the apex of the newly formed line running in the direction of St. Julien. In the course of the night of the 224, and under the heaviest machine gun fire, this wood where the four guns had earlier been captured by the enemy, was assaulted by the Canadian-Scottish One Hundred and Sixtieth Battalion of ROOM Suite ‘beautifully A ＋— Consisting of 1 Chair, I Rocker and I Daveno lA VALUE that will not likely be duplicated again this sea- son.

At midnigkt the Second Toronto regiment, Queen's Own (Third Battalion) under Lieutenant-Colonei Rennie, both of the First Brigade “All through the following day and tunes and misfortunes of, the Third Bri- gade. An officer who took part in the attack describes how the men about him fell under the fire of the machine guns, which, he said, played upon them ‘like a. watering pot.’ “But the line never wavered. When one man fell another took his place, and witn a final shout the survivors of the two battalions flung themselves into the wood. The German garrison was completely demoralized and the impetu- ous advance of the Canadians. did no: cease until they reached the far sida of the wood and entrenched themselves in position so dearly gained. 0 Attack Developed Rapidly. “They had, however, the disappoint- ment of finding that the guns had been blown up by the enemy and later in the same night, a must formidable con- centration of artillery fire sweeping the wood made it impossible for them to hold the position for which they had sacrificed so much, “The fighting continued without inter- mission all through the night. At 6 a. m. on Friday the 2d, it became ap- parent that the left was becoming more and more involved and a powerful Ger- man attempt to outflank it developed rapidly. “It was therefore decided to try to give relief by a. counter attack upon the first line of German trenches, now far advanced from those originally oc- cupied by the French. This was car- ried out by the Ontario First and Fourth Battalions of the First Brigade, under Brigadier-General Mercer, acting in combination with a British brigade. “It did not seem that any human be- ing could live in the shower of sho: and shell in which began to play on the advancing troops. They suffered terrible casualties. For a short time every other man seemed to fall, but the attack was pressed even closer and closer. The Fourth Canadian Battalion. at one moment came undor a parti- cularly withering fire. For a moment it wavered. Rallies Wavering tens Is Killed. | “Its most gallant commanding officer, Lieut. Col. Burchall, carrying, after an old fashion, a light cane, cooled and cheerfully rallied his men and at the very moment when his example had infected them, fell dead at the head of his battalion. “With a cry of anger they sprang forward as if to avenge his death. The astonishing attack, which followed, pushed home in the face of direct frontal fire made in broad daylight by battalions whose names should live for- ever in the memories of soldiers, was. carried to the first line of German trenches. After a hand-to-hand strug- gle, the last German who resisted was bayonetted and the trench was won. This trench represented in the Ger- man advance, the apex in the breach which the enemy had made in the orig- inal line of the allies and it was two and a half miles south of that line, This charge, made by r:en who looked death indifferentially in the face, savod the Canadian left. It also secured and maintained during tne most critical moment of. all, the integrity of the allied line. ? “At 4 o’clock on the morning of Fri - dey, the 234, a fresh emission of gas was made both upon the Second Bri- gade, which had continued to hold the line up to the pivotal point. The For- ty-eighth Highlanders were dismayed and their trench became intolerable. The battalion retired from the trench recovered themselves and reoccupied it. “It was clear that several German di- visions were attempting to crush or drive back the Third Brigade, and in any event to use their enormous numer- ical superiority to sweep around and overwhelm our left wing. The last at- tempt partially succeeded. German troops swung past the unsupported left of the brigade and slipping in between the wood and St. Julien, added to the torturing anxieties of the long-drawn- out struggle, by the appearance, and, indeed, for the moment, the reality of isolation from the brigade »ase. Major Killed, Captain Wounded, In the exertions made by the Third Brigade during this supreme _ crisis, Maj. Norsworthy, already almost dis- abled by a bullet wound, was bayonet- ted and killed. Capt. McQuaig of the same battalion was seriousiy wounded in a hurriedly constructed trench which he refused to leave. “On Friday afternoon the left of the Canadian line was strengthened by im- portant reinforcements of British troops amounting to seven battalions.” From this time forward the Canadians also continued to receive further assist- ance on the left from a series of French counter attacks pushed in a northeast- erly direction from the canal bank.” “The fire of the artillery of the en- emy continually grew in intensity,” the account says. “It became evident that the Canadian salient could no longer be maintained against the overwhelming superiority of numbers by which it was assailed. Slowly, stubbornly and con- testing every yard the defenders gave ground until the salient gradually re ceded from the point where it had or- iginally aligned with .the French, and fell back upon St. Julien. “Soon it became evident that even St. Julien, exposed from right and left, was no longer tenable in the face of over- whelming numerical superiority. The third brigade was, therefore, ordered to retreat further south, selling every yard of ground dearly. But it was found im- possible without hazarding far larger forces to disentangle the detachment of the Royal Highlanders of Montreal, 13th battalion, and of the Royal Montreal Regiment, 18th battalion.. The brigade was ordered not a moment too soon to It left these units with : of Canada.” The German line rolled over the de- serted village, but for several hours after the enemy had become master of the village, the sullen and persistent rifle fire which survived showed that they. were not yet master of the Ca- Battalion, under Col.

The number of peo- ple who shared in the increase was 440,- Increased wages in some of the lead- ing branches of industry are summed up briefly as follows: Some Leading Increases. Railway men—All-round increase of 75 Longshoremen—Increases varying from 2% cents to 2 a week. Policemen—War bonus of 75 cents a week upwards. Carpenters—War donus of $1 to $1.50 a week. General Laborers—Increase of 75 cents to $1.50 a week. Miners—Employers generally offer 10 per cent advance in pay; miners demand 20. Postal employes, including telephone and telegraph workers— Increase of $1 a week has been demanded. Gas Workers—Increases averaging $1 a weekly Bakers—Increase of $1.25 a week asked, pending negotiations. Textile Workers—Bonus for overtime clothing. Boot and Shoe Workers—War bonus of 5 to 10 per cent granted in some places. Coopersmiths— Average wage before war, $9; now, $12.50. Clerks—Some increases; 198, 000 grocers’ and Building Trades Workers Some sections have secured substantial increases. The number of unemployed in Great Britain shows a large falling off the past February and March as compared with the corresponding months of last year. The Board of Trade’s Labor Ga- zette prints statistics from the Govern- ment’s 403 labor exchanges, according to which there were 87,004 names on the register last month as against 100,616 for February and 123,714 for March of last year. Vacant Jobs More Numerous, The number of vacancies in employ- ment reported to the exchanges also show an increase over the late winter of 1014, having a daily average of 5746, or 100 more than the average for Feb- ruary and 1600 more than the average for March of last year. London passed through the winter with fewer cases of destitution demanding relief from the poor funds than any n the memory of the pres- ent Poor’ Law officials: - The war, in fact, has enabled many ‘thousands of people belonging to the classes which usually must be helped, to dispense with this kind of relief, and has even put them in possession of funds more than sufficient to meet their demands. London's pauper population decreased steadily during the past London Guardians, at the begin- of 1915, were providing for 100,000 This was a decrease of 2500 corresponding date a year be- ril 1 showed the total decreased a further 3000. It is evident, however, that these de- is are, in part at least, deceptive, being 9 for, not dy improved conditions, but by the fact that a great | deal of relief is being administered by new agencies, such as the special war | reltet — and the old. age pensions. > — HEALTH.

This one looked thick in front for headlong work, and he did not seem to have the clearance mus- cles in his backlegs. Squire Applegate was up from Coon Creek with a mauve mole which had supporters.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 1.—D. M. Parry, formeriy president of the Na- tional Manufacturers’ Association, and for many years a leading business man here, is recovering stowly from the ef- fects of a mysterious Illness with which he was stricken suddenly about a year ago while on a trip around the world with John Kirby, also a former presi- dent of the Manufacturers’ Association. Parry and Kirby, accompanied by the latter’s secretary, started on a world tour in behalf of the Manufacturers’ As- sociation, with the special object of studying labor conditions in Australia. They were on their way home from China when Parry vecame ill. When two or three days out at sea Parry's actions attracted the attention of Kirby. Finally Parry was stricken with an acute illness. Regaini Health Slowly. It was feared he would die before reaching San Francisco. His family here was notified and Mrs. Parry was at San Francisco when the boat ar- rived. He was taken to a hospital in San Francisco, where he was kept sev- eral weeks before he could be moved to Indianapolis, where he has been re- gaining his health and strength very slowly. Parry’s mind is said to have been a blank for some time after the attack aboard the boat. His close friends say he does not understand how he became ill and that he has no remembrance of his trip after leaving Australia and un- til after he began to recover at San Francisco. -His mind is clear now on what happened prior to the trip and after he began to recover. Was in Rundown Condition, One of Parry’s closest friends says Parry told him recently he believed he was “doped”. by someone before he took the boat in China. One of his near relatives says Parry told him he be- lieved he was doped'“ by someone. This relative, however, says Parry has no definite idea as to how anyone might have doped him or whether he and Kir- by were followed by anyone who might have been determined to do them in- jury. The physicians at San Francisco who had charge of the case diagnosed Par- ry’s illness as uremic poisoning and treated him for that for several weeks. Parry was in a run-down phys*cal con- dition before he started around the world and he has not been in business here since his return. What a Mole Race Lacks in Speed It Has in Surprises « Continued From Preceding Page. where two of the moles had en- countered one another and were hav- ing a fight. One of them was the mauve mole from Coon Creek, which in doubling back from 'the river, where it was getting into soft sand, had collided with the revolving mole entered by Brant Dabbs. The revolv- ing mole revolved around its oppon- ent enough to raise a hillock about the size of a tub. „He'll never win now unless the judges count them whirls,” said Brant, and the rising sod finally in- dicated such a warmth of conflict that the Squire pulled off the sod ind took his mole out. 8 “My mole ain't natcherly quar’l- some,” he explained. “He’s a good, law-abidin’ . mole; but when ye're racin’ like that an’ suddenly runs mole, like two Fords collidin’, it’s hard on a mole’s patience. A mole figgers it that the other mole is tryin’ to take advan- tage o' some of his relief work, or is tryin’ to get it mixed up, an’ that’s too much for a mole.” The race was still at its height when the great voice of the Wood- chopper rang over the dowr crying “Time's up!“ Every man running a mole at once thrust a peg in the ground and recovered his mole. “Ye ain’ forgettin’ that Cemetery Tom o' mine, be you?” asked the Ferryman. „Where is he?” they asked. „Last I seed o him he was makin’ for his fav-rit’ haunt—the cemetery, with a boy foller’n,” the Ferryman said. The red mole had done 428 feet. One of the Woodchopper’s moles turned in 603 feet. The Woodchop- per’s friends were jubilant. „Now where's that Cemetery Tom,” eaid one of the judges, and they all set off across the hill. As they topped the ridge they raised the graveyard. The boy was sitting on an old tomb. Where's your mark?” they asked. “It’s here,” he answered. They checked it up—760 feet. „An' to think how lugubtrious that mole looks all the time, too,” the Ferryman said.

Citizens are requested to put all rubbish and tin cans in recep- tacles to facilitate handling and save time, No ashes or garbage will be hauled. All day yesterday Boy Scouts waged war on the tin cans and put them to rout from their strongholds, the vacant lots. These they will transform into playgrounds and flower and vegetable gardens, if Mrs. J. V. Cohick, Chief of the Red Cross Garden Staff, can induce owners and real estate agents to co-operate with her and her committee by permitting such use. Many owners have signified their willingness to co- operate in the garden and playground idea. The Eugene Field School, under th direction of W. J. Stevens, who instil tuted the garden movement in St. Louis, has transformed the vacant lot at the southeast corner of Olive street and Taylor avenue, adjacent to the Eugene Field school, into a flower garden. The Clean-up and Paint-up idea originated with Allen W. Clark, and has become a national movement, The following wagon schedule will be caried out during the week:.

A young actor was hissed at Lyons when someone in the audience put that question. He asked for a hear- ing, and in a choked voice said that .

The doctors give me only six months more to suffer. It would be a great consolation if I could spend that time fighting for France, but in spite of my suppli- cations, they won't have me.“ Many incurables have ben obliged in this way to disclose their secret sufferings. Many foreigners’ also who passed for French on tne boule- varrds have declared they were Rus- sian, English or Belgian. Deptuy Henri Gall! of Paris asked why they were not serving their respective countries. The reply was that the Russians were mostly political refu- gees who would be put into prison instead of the army if they returned, while England has no obligatory service, and mary Belgians benefited from the old law under which cir- cumscription was by lot.

I do not wish to give the impression, however, that these facilities for flirt- ing with sudden death are handed out promiscuously to all Who apply. To ob- tain me this opportunity to see the French fighting machine in action re- quired the united influence of a Gaepb- inet Minister, a British peer, two Am- bassadors and a score of newspapers. Trenches Inaccessible to Publie, I wonder if you who will read this over your coffee cups realize that, though the French trenches can be reached by motor car in 90 minutes from Rue de la Paix, it is as impossible for an unauthorized person to get with- in sound, much less within sight, of them as it would be for a tourist to stroll into Buckingham Palace and have a chat with King George. But when the Ministry of War has finajly issued to you the magic yellow card, which, so far as this war is concerned, is the equivalent of Aladdin’s lamp and the magic carpet put together and you have become for the time being a guest of the nation, your path is everywhere made smooth before you.

I am something of a connoisseur when it comes to trenches, and if there are any more ingeniously designed ones than those which the French have built, I would like to see them. The fields be- tween the trenches were being plowed by women driving sleek white oxen, but furrows were scarcely ever straight, for every few yards they would turn aside to avoid a turf-covereéd mound, sur- mounted by à rude cross, as for nearly fifty miles this portion of France is a vast cemetery. We whirled through villages whose main streets are lined with blackened and broken shells of buildings. At once I felt at home. With this sort of thing I had grown only too familiar in Bel- gium, But here the Germans were care- less or in a hurry, for they had left many houses standing. In Belgium they made a more finished job of it. French Confidenée in Army, Nothing better illustrated the implicit confidence which the French people have in their army and in its ultimate suc- cess than the fact that in all of the towns through which we passed, the people are hard at work rebuilding their shattered homes, though the strokes of their hammers are echoed by the boom of German guns. They would not do this if they apprehended that there was a chance, even a slight chance, of the Germans coming back again. To me there is something approaching the sublime in these impoverished peas- ants turning with stout hearts and gsmil- ing faces to the rebuilding of these Information for Lung Sufferers The makers of Eckman’s Alterative will be pleased to send reports of recdv- eries from tuberculosis and a booklet of interest to sufferers. with information about diet and fresh air.

To these toil-worn, patient men and women I lift my hat in respect and ad- miration. They, no less than their sons and husbands and brothers in the trenches, are fighting the battles of France. ; As we drew nearer to the firing line the traditional scarlet trousers and ke- pies, still worn by the second line men, gave way to the new service uniforms of a peculiar bluish gray. There were soldiers everyWhere. Every town and hamlet through which we passed was alive with them. The highways wera choked with troops of all arms, dragoons with their steel helmets, linen-covered; zouaves in baggy red breeches; spahis in turbans, and Senagalese in tar- booches: chasseurs d' Afrique in sky- blue and scarlet; infantry of the line in all the shades of blue that can be pro- duced. by dyes or by the weather; mile- long strings of motor transports, field batteries, ambulances, with staring red crosses painted on their canvas hoods; pontoon trains, balloon corps, all the nuts and bolts and springs and screws which go to compose what has become perhaps the most efficient fighting ma- chine the world has ever seen. From what I have seen of the French army, I am convinced that it has been hammered and tempered into a more po- tent weapon than was the German army last September. Moreover, the human element is not lacking. Instead of be- ing mere cogs, the French soldiers are encouraged to exert their ingenuity and to use their brains, and it is the men whith brains who are golng to win this war. When only a short distance in the rear of the firing line, at a place which, for obvious reasons, shall be nameless, we left the cars and proceeded on foot down a winding country road, which suddenly debouched tn a great saucer- shaped valley. The gentle slopes were checkered with brown squares of fresh plowed fields and the green ones of sprouting ones of grain. From beyond the nearby ridge came the sullen mutter of artillery, and every now and then there appeared against the tourquoise sky what looked like a patch of cotton- wood, but which was really bursting shrapnel. The far eyd of the valley was filled with what &@ppeared at first glance to be a low-hanging cioud of gray-blue mist, but which resolved itself as we drew near into dense masses of troops drawn up in review formation—infan- try at the left, cavatry at the right, guns in the center. I heard much of the invisible qualities of the new field uniform of the French army, but had heretofore believed it inferior to the German green-gray. But I have changed my mind. At 300 yards 12,000 men could scarcely be distinguished from the land- scape. The only colorful note was struck by the dragoons, who still retain their scarlet breeches, blue tunics and horse- tailed helmets, though the latter are now covered with gray linen. At 3 o'clock . rolling cloud of dust suddenly appeared on the road from Compiegne, and out of it tore a long line of military cars, all save one in war coats of elephant gray. The ex- ception was a low-siung racer, painted canary yellow. Tearing at top speed up the valley, it came to a sudden stop before the center of a mile-long line of soldiery. Mile of Steer Formed. A mile of fighting men stiffened to attention, a mile of rifle barrels formed a hedge of burnished steel, the drums gave the long roll and the 13 ruffles, the colors swept the ground, the bands burst into the splendid strains of the Marseillaise and the little man, gray- mustached, gray-bearded and inclined to stoutness, but with the unmistakable carriage of the soldier, walked briskly down the motionless lines. I was having the privilege of seeing a President of France reviewing a French army almost within sight of the inva- der. It was under a:most parallel cir- cumstances that another President of another mighty republic might have re- viewed another army, which was also fighting the battles of civilization up- ward of half a century ago. President Poincare is hard to de- scribe. He is the only French Presal- dent within my memory who looks the part of a ruler. In his person is cen- tered, as it were, the aspirations of France, for he is a native of Lorraine. He was Captain of the Alpine Chas- seurs in his younger days, and shows the result of his military training in his bearing. In France they will tell you that the President is but the figurehead of the ship of state and that he does not count, but this President looks to me more like the helmsman, and there is no doubt but that he counts very much, indeed. Were you to see him apart from offi- cial surroundings you might take him, with his air of energy and authority, for a great employer. from Andrew Carnegie and give him a military bearing, and you will have as good an idea as I can give you of the appearance of the war-time President of France. He wore a most curious dark blue uniform which was neither naval nor military, flat yachting cap and coat, buttoned to the neck, riding breeches and polished leggins. At his right walked Minister of War Millerand and at his left Gen. , commanding the army, while be- hind trailed the brilliant troops in uni- forms of blue and green and gray and khaki and scarlet. After passing down the lines the President took his stand in front of ° row of grouped standards and a dozen officers and men, wo Were to be deco- rated for gallantry in action. Thev ranged themselves before him. Step- ping forward, he pinned to the breast r each man the coveted bit of ribbon and enamel and kissed him on either cheek, while the troops presented arms and the massed bands played the anthem. On general principles I should think that the President would rebel at having to kiss so many men, even though they are heroes and have been freshly shaved for the occasion. As the picturesque ceremony Was com- pleted the aide-de-camp came running toward a group of staff officers witn The President desires to meet Mon. Powell,” he called. A moment later I found myself grasping a firm hand and looking into a pair of kindly but wonderfully penetrating steal gray eyes. “These men who are about to pass be- fore us, Mon. Powell,” he said, “are not of our first’ line. The: are all terri- toriais, that is, men above 38 years of age. But they are fresh from the trenches. They have seen much fight- ing. They are ull veterans. You will * * if Take 20 years. — — find no finer soldiers anywhere. See and judge them for yourself. And bear in mind that they are all citizen sol- ders,“ Topping a rise, they swept down upon us in line, column or a moving cloud of bluish gray, under sifting, simmering and slanting lines of steel. Company after company, regiment after regiment.and brigade after brig- ade swept past, business-like as a trip hammer and as resistless as a steam roller, moving with mechanical precis- ion to the exultant strains of the march of the Sambre at Meuse. These were the famous Poilus, the bearded ones, the men with hair on their chests. Their uniforms were not immaculate. They were faded by wind and rain and sometimes stained with blood. On their boots was the mud of the battlefields along the Aisne. Fresh from the trenches, they were as pink- checked as athletes and they marched with the bubyancy of men in high spirits and in perfect health. Here before me was a section of that wall of steel which is slowly, but oh, so surely, push- ing back the spiked helmets toward the Rhine. Hard on the heels of the infantry o——— QA— — 1905 ‘ came the guns, the famous Seventy- fives, half a dozen batteries of them, at a spanking trot, beyond all question the finest field artillery in the world. A little space to let the foot and guns get out of the way and then we heard the wild and shrill clangor of the cav- alry trumpets pealing the charge. Over the rise they came, helmeted giants on gigantic horses. The earth shook be- neath their gallop. The scarlet breech- es of the riders gleamed fie in the sunlight, horsehair plumes of helmets floated out behind.

WA a cs * ; . 1 ST.LOUIS POST-DISPAT YOU CAN'T IMPROVISE IN g BE PREPARED,” MOTTO | BY WHICH JOFFRE CLIMBED 7 * Biographer, in Makers of New France” Tells How He Carried This Idea to the Point of Retiring Even His Close Friends When Raised to Command. HOUGH he is commander. in-chief of one of the greatest, if not the greatest, armies ever put in the field—the combined French, English a one of the least known leaders in the present great war. Belgian forces in France and Flanders—Gen. Joffre is Charles Daw- barneof Paris, author of ‘‘France and the French,’’ undertakes in his lat- est book, ‘‘Makers of New France’’ (James Pott & Co., New York), to ént the famous General in more familiar aspects than we have been per- mittéd to see him heretofore. Following are excerpts from this highly in. teresting volume, which contains intimate studies of notable Frenchmen of today, including President Poincare, Declasse, Briand, Jauns, Bergson, Clemenceau, Brieux, Bleriot, Mme. Paquin and many others: “There is a great deat in names. Balzac believed in their predestination. Certain men triumph in spite of their names; others are helped by them. Kitchener had no reason to thank his cognomen, which is harsh and unmusical, for his success, but Joffre is of those who have majesty in their names; his is as sol- emn and impressive as Jove, as ‘sug- gestive as Rodin or Rejane. Joffre well suite the man, for he is Olympian in his silence and gravity, Olympian also in his strange calm. He is of the race of supermen, yet he would be the last to attribute his success to genius. He does not believe in flashes of inspira- tien, but in method and hard work. He is thé architect of his own fortunes, and owes nothing to political influence. To him the secret of success has not been revealed in a night; it has come as the result of infinite pains. In a memorable speech a year before the war broke out, he said: “You can impro- - vise nothing in war,” and he is undoubt- 8 Bf 3 Sly right, for war, especially modern war, is of the essence of preparation. t is hardly necessary to insist on the periority of the German preparedness that was only too apparent in the opening phases of the campaign—but this was not Joffre’s fault. He had been appointed only three years to his supreme office when the Germans crossed the frontier in August, 1914. Since that day he did not forget for one single instant his vast responsibili- ties; but you cannot, even in three years of intense work, supply the place of 40 years of implacable preparation. Gen. Pau Urged His Appointment. ‘Joffre’s appointment, at the instance of Gen. Pau, was the result of an out- cry against divided authority. Up to that moment, the moment of Agadir, poignant in its menace to France, one man prepared for war and the other was destined to be the leader of the forces at the outbreak of hostilities. Obvi- ously, this was a bad arrangement. The man who prepared for war should be the man who made it, and a Ministry fell as soon as Parliament realized the weakness of the scheme. Then Joffre came suddenly to the front. He had had always a great reputation amongst military men, but, to the general pub- lic, he was unknown.

Then he set the world to chattering with excite- ment; the garrison towns knew no sleep ‘or @ week. Joffre had broken the ca- reers of five Generals, who had given proof of weakness in the @guthern ma- neuvers of 1913. Here i# a man at last,“ said the cafe strategist before be- ginning his game of manille; “this is the chief we need in France. Others attacked him violently. A disingenious mind discovered that the cashiered Gen- erals belonged to one particular school of politics, and that school, oddly enough, had always claimed Joffre. Then the further fact, more astound- ing than the first, became. known; that Joffre was above politics; it seemed in- credible. Being a Republican and a Freemason, he had yet dared to dis- cipline other Republicans and Free- masons! It was stupendous. Ridded the Armies of Cliques. “Yes, Joffre had proven superior to personal and political considerations when he came to supreme office; one heard no more of cliques and divisions in the army. There were no more secret cliques of officers who went to maas and had their children baptized; there were no more confidential reports to Free- masions’ lodges of impulsive speeches by Colonels suspected of reactionary tendencies. The influence of Joffre stopped all that, and stopped the in- trigues that had been rife more or less in the army since the Dreyfus case. The parliamentary soldier of the Gen. Andre type was invited to carry his politics to the corriders of the chamber and leave the army free to pursue its work. That was the spirit dominating the great or- ganization after Joffre had taken hold of it, and he showed his utter indiffer- ence to mere politics by taking into his closest confidence Gens. Pau and De Castelnau, both of whom are clerical, if not anti-Republican, in. their sympa- thies. And Joffre advanced both men in the Legion of Honor for their services in the field. * * ® “Joffre has immense capacity for si- lence. He is as silent as Wiliam of Orange, without his gloom, His taci- turnity suggests confidence in himself, which ig the best method of imparting it to others. Instinctively his staff looks to him for great decisions, instinctively it feels that each crisis will find him ready to meet it. He rejoices in re- sponsibility. Someone who watched him closely at work when the great task of repelling the invader from the soll of France was first begun declared that his calm was staggering. The greatest dif- ficulties cannot upset it, and the greater the danger the clearer his faculties seem to become. He is as unaffected by the roar of cannon and the complexities of everchanging problems as if he were working out a war game in time of peace in the seclusion of his office at the Invalides. Guards His Health Closely. “A great deal of this mental poise is due to the care he takes of his physical state. He believes in the mens sana in corpore sano. For years he has de- liberately prepared himself for the hard- ships of an exhausting campaign. He rises early; at 6 o’clock he arouses his household. An hour later, he and his two young daughters are galloping in the alleys of the Bois. This morning exercise keeps him fit and counteracts the long hours passed in office work. He retires to bed early, save when he is absorbed in a book, and then a quiet and discreet hand—the hand of his be- loved wife, who is an traordinary help to him and even, they say, an au- thority on tactics—extinguishes the lamp at midnight that he may have at least six hours’ sleep. He does not care for the theater and prefers his books. His pleasure is in the society of his wife and daughters; the young people's galety fills the house. This — of war is a fam- ily man, living a retzred life. On cam- paign he resists the temptation to over- work, and refuses to depart from his simple and wholesome habits. He stil! retires to bed at 10 o’clock, to a lullaby of cannon. At dawn he is afoot again und has begun his day’s work. Not even the Grand Conde, on the eve of Rocroy, sleeps more soundly than he: this is one of the screts of his suc- cess. © © ° Though he has a temperament of steel. as becomeg the silent man, the Gener- alissimo is extraordinarily humanitari- an. This again seems a contradiction. He wishes to save lives. This character- istic distinguishes him from German commanders, who throw their men mer- cilessly against exposed positions, with no thought of the cost. Joffre will not throw away a man if he can avoid it— he has the true French sense of econ- omy-—and thus we have a long-drawn- cut and painfully persistent scheme of fighting, resembling a chess match, in which the players move from square to square, sacrificing pawns, capturing this plece and that, until, by some clever final move, the king is cornered and a checkmate declared. Joffre’s way is not to hurl masses against strong en- trenchments, but to wear out the enemy by a constant series of attacks, clinging to him, engaging him, holding him. When the proper moment comes he at- tacks with force and fierceness. One must not forget that he is a French- man, and therefore naturally given to the offensive. He realizes that his countrymen are adapted by ‘tempera, ment to attack and pursuit rather than to fighting a dogged, sullen battle of re- sistance. But he has mastered his na- tural inclination for vigorous tactics in favor of those wearing processes where- by an enemy is slowly and relentless- ly reduced. Sent Reinforcements in Taxicabs. His tactics at the battle of the Marne were of this order and are very inter- esting. The Franco-English armies had been in retreat from the Belgian fron- tier. They had marched away at great speed and continued to refuse battle up to a point perilously near Paris. Then when the enemy swept across the north- ern suburbs of the capital to the south- east, thanks mainiy to the presence of large reserves in front of them, Joffre suddenly changed his attitude. He caught hold of Von Kluck's army corps, and pressed it so firmly that it was forced to retreat to save itself from en- velopment. Joffre had bided his time, he had remarked the fatigue of the en- emy, and this movement from the north of Paris gave him just the opportunity jhe sought for making good the advan- tage he then possessed of fighting at home and of being supported by a new — — Cenmtinued om Page 128, — W — SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1918.

Yesterday at the Court House and Jef- ferson Memorial. “Women’s Independence day,” as yesterday was styled by the suffra- gists of America, was celebrated in St. Louis by speech making on the courthouse steps and at Jefferson Memorial, Forest Park. Shortly aft - er noon several automobiles filled with women, and bearing suffrage banners, drew up at the courthouse, and within five minutes a small crowd had gathered both at the Broadway entrance and the Broad - way and Pine street corner, where spéakers held forth. Mrs. Alice Curtice Moyer-Wing, Mrs, Kate Richards O’Hare and Miss Jane Thomson, well-known suffrage workers, addressed the crowds, and answered many questions. Miss | Thomson, the last speaker, generally won her points by sharp, witty an- swers. Just as she finished an old man, with a handful of shoestrings, leaned over her car and asked sev- eral questions. When these were answered to his satisfaction he held up the shoestrings and said: “Well, then, lady, won't you help Miss Thomson did.

Make Forty Per Cent; Rubber Factory Saved From Going Into Bankruptcy. AMSTERDAM, May 1.—The German which doubled their capital last year, are declaring a dividend of 20 per cent, as compared with 32 per cent for the vear 1913. This is equivalent to a divi- dend of 0 per cent on the old cap- italization. Many other German concerns working for the army and navy have either raised their dividends or set aside a large sum into ufhdivided profits. A large rubber factory which has for sev- eral years been in financial straits, amounting to more than half its total capital. A new half-million dollar corporation organized in Berlin by clothing men, will devote all its energies to utilizing scraps of cloth for making army and navy uni- forms. FLIRTING AIDS IN RECRUITING English Girl Sends Six Young Men to War; Example Is Commended. LONDON, May 1.—-Flirting can be made an effective recruiting expedient. At a recent recruiting rally a girl held up her hand and announced that she had sent five young men to the front. At the end of the meeting she indicated the young man at her side, and declared, Here's the sixth.“ This caused the speaker to gay, “Flirting of that kind is the right sort of patriotism.” And he advised the young girls of th» audience to use 99g wiles in behalf of King and coun- ry W. * gotfre Calm in Face of Danger Called Supreme“ Continued From Page 10B. and fresh army based upon Paris itself. When the full history of the battle of the Marne comes to be written, one will give a large amount of credit to Joffre’s able lieutenant, Gen. Manoury, who was in charge of the Paris army and moved it out at the psychological mo- ment to turn the foe. His transportation scheme was the happiest in the war, for he employed 1100 taxicabs, which car- ried the army to the front, and in those taxicabs the soldiers ate and slept until the moment came to begin the battle. Picture the amazement of the Germans, who had believed that the French were completely demoralized and were lack- ing in resources, moral and material. Jof fre's plan is always to have plenty of force in reserve; it is one of the signs of his superiority. * * * “Joffre suggests the comfortable farm- er type rather than the traditional sol- dier. There is nothing about his ap- pearance or methods to excite the en- thusiasm of the crowd. In civil or mil- itary dress he is not smart, but merely neat. His figure is solid and robust and not built on sculptural lfmes; the neck is immensely strong; the nose broad, with wide nostrils; the mouth firm and hidden by a white moustache; the teeth somewhat prominent in speech. The chin is quare, with sense of pow- er; the eyes, beneath the bushy eye- brows, are blue, limpid and singere, and singularly penetrating at ti They are twinkling eyes, too, as if their own- er saw, readily, the humorous side of things and found a quiet enjoyment in the ridiculous, though his laugh is rare.

How Fritz Kreisler’s finely attuned ear was used as a range finder by an Aus- trian General to determine the location of Russian guns is graphically described by the celebrated violinist in a highly entertaining little book, “Four Weeks in the Trenches,’ of which ne is the author and of which the Houghton- Mif- Hin Co. of Boston is the publisher. Aft- er a month at the front, he was wound- ed in the right thigh by a Russian lance. Being permanently disabled, he Was permitted to come to America for his concert tour. A great part of the little volume is an elaboration of the incidents recorded in the letters he wrote for a Vienna paper and which were reproduced in the Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine of Nov. 1 last. But the story of how accu- rately his ear, trained to respond to the delicate vibration of violin strings, was able to judge by their shrieking and tearing sounds the distance and the lo- cation from which the shells of the Russian heavy guns had come is new. He discovered this faculty shortly after he went into.action the first time. He writes: “By this time, however, shrapnel had almost ceased to be a source of concern to us and we scarcely paid any attention to it. Human nerves quickly get accustomed to the most unusual conditions and circumstances and I noticed that quite a number of men actually fall asleep from sheer exhaustion in the trenches, in spite of the roaring of the cannon about us and the whiazing of shrapnel over our heads. Whine Key to Shell’s Origin. J, too, soon got accustomed to the deadly Bers wee Ae fact, I had al- ready * to make observations of their culiarities. My ear, accus- tomed to differentiate sounds of all kinds, had some time ago, while we still advanced, noted a remerkable discrepancy in the pecullar whine produced by the -different shells in their rapid flight through the air as they passed over our heads, some sounding shrill, with a rising tend- ency, and others rather dull, with a falling cadence. “A short observation revealed the fact that the passing of a dull-sound- ing shell was invariably preceded by a flash from one of our own cannons in the rear of the hill, which conclu- sively proved it to be an Austrian shell. It must be understood that as we were advancing between the posi- tions of the Austrian and Russian ar- tillery, both kinds of shell were pass- ing over our heads. As we advanced the differences between shrill and dull shell grew less and less perceptible, until I could hardly tell them apart. Upon nearing the hill the differ- ence increased again more and more until on the hill itself it was very marked. “After our trench was finished I crawled to the top of the hill until 1 could make out the flash of the Rus- sian guns on the opposite heights and by timing flash and actual pass- ing of the shell, found to my aston- ishment that now the Russian mis- siles had become dull, while on the other hand, the shrill shell was in- variably heralded by a flash from one of our guns, now far in the rear. What had happened was this: His Ear Used as Range Finder. “Every shell describes in its course a parabolic line, with the first half of the curve being ascending and the sec- ond one descending. Apparently in the first half of its curve, that is, its course while. ascending, the shell produced a dull “whine, accompanied by a dull ca- ‘dence, which changes to a rising shrill as soon as the acme has been reached and the curve points downward again. The acme for both kinds of shell nat- urally was exactly half the distance Letween the Russian and Austrian artil- lery, and this was the point where I had noticed that the difference was the least marked. “A few days later in talking over my observation with an artillery officer, 1 was told the fact was known that the shells sounded different.going up than when coming down, but this knowledge was not used for practical purposes. When I told him that I could actually determine by the sound the exact place where a shell coming from the opposing batteries was reaching its acme, he thought that this would be of great value in a case where the position of the opposing battery was hidden and thus could be located. He apparently spoke to his commander «shout. me, for a few days later I was seat on a reconnoiter- ing tour, with the object of marking on the map the exact spot where I thought the hostile shells were reaching their acme, and it was later on reported to me that I had succeeded in giving our batteries the almost exact range of the Russian guns. I have gone into this matter at some length, because it is the only instance where my musical ear was of value during my service.“ Kreisler was greatly impressed with the utter lack of hatred between the Russians and the Austrians, though they were exerting every effort to kill each this point he says: No Hatred Among the Troops. “It was there and then (in his first trench) that I made a curious observa- tion.

He was frequently shot at, but never hit, Then he grew bolder, showing himself longer and longer, until finally he jumped out cf the trench altogether, shouting to us wildly. and waving his cap, His f00d-humored joluty and bravado ap- pealed to our boys and none of them attempted to shoot at him while he presented such a splendid target. Fi- ES Help the “Stomach in Digesting Your Food When the stomach fails to digest and distribute that which is eaten, the bowels become clogged with a mass of waste and refuse that fer- ments and generates poisons that are gradually forced into thé blood, causing distress and often serious illness. Most people naturally object to the drastic cathartic and purgative agents that shock the system. A mild, gentle laxative, positive in its effect and that will quickly relieve constipation, is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, sold by druggists at 50 cents and one dollar a bottle. It does not gripe or cramp, but acts easily and pleasantly and is therefore the most satisfactory, remedy for children, women and elderly persons. For a free trial bottle write to Dr. W. B.

All fighting nad suddenly ceased, and both opposing par-} ties were looking on, laughing like boys at play. Finally the Russian would USE COCOANUT OIL FOR WASHING HAIR If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better. Most soaps. and prepared sham- poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit- tle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can’t possibly injure’ the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wa- ter and rub it in-. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and re- moves every particle of dust; dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluf- fy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut: oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces 186 enough to last everyone in the fam- ily for months.—ADYV. 25 1 sky ay im,| ing ti to indulge in a fist fight, all ot sorry for our champion, for looking m tobacco, and our Austrian, seizing the tobacco, grasped the hand of the Rus- sian, and thefi, reaching in his pocket, produced-a long Austrian cigar, which he ceremoniously presented to the Rus- sian.

There was an ice famine in the Tri- Cities yesterday, und throughout Gran- ite City, Venice aal Madison, with tneir population of 35.100, not a pound of ge was delivered. This was due to a strike called at 8.4. m. by the teamsters’ union, Local 61. All day long the offices of the ice con- cerns were besieged by customers in automobiles, carriages and wagons. Women went with perambulators to take a few pounds to their homes, ind boys went with baskets. One milk desler prepared notices to his customers, warn- ing them that as he had to cover a!i his routes himself, their deliveries would probably be late. A number of buildings under construction were held up by the strike, which affects about 100 tcam- sters. The teamsters struck because their em- ployers refused to provide a he'per cn every wagon, and asked the drivers 90 consent to a reduction in pay of F cents an hour. DOG WITH BROKEN LEG HOBBLES. TO CITY HOSPITAL Attendants Carefully Treat Terrier, Which Then Curls Up on Rug and Goes to Sleep. A fox terrier hobbled up the steps to the front entrance of the city hospital last night, holding his left front leg in the air and saying plainly with his eyes that he wished admittance as a patient. Nurses and doctors examined the leg in the reception room and found it was broken. They bound it in splints as carefully as if the dog had been human. Then the terrier, after effusive displays of gratitude, curled up contentedly on a rug and went to sleep. There was spec- ulation among the doctors as to wheth- er the dog was clever enough to know the proper place to apply for treatment or just happened to find it.

CHRISTENING TO BE TODAY Executive to Be One of God- fathers—Will Reach Capi- tal. Tomorrow. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., May 1.— Woodrow Wilson laid aside the cares of President of the United States here today and became merely the grand- father of Francis Sayre, the small son of his daughter, Jessie, and of Francis B. Sayre, assistant to the president of Willlams’ College. The President came to Williamstown, despite pressing public business, to take part in planting a baby'' tree for his grandson, late this afternoon and to act as one of his godfathers at the christen- ing ceremonies tomorrow. Mr. Wilson will leave for Washington tomorrow afternoon, ariving there Mon- day morning. Virtually the entire col- lege population of Williamstown was at the station to welcome the President, who was accompanied by his daughter, Miss Margaret Wilson, his cousin, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones and his naval aide and physician, Dr. Grayson. Soon after the arrival at Williams- town the entire family party, with President Harry A. Garfield of Williams College, and Mrs. Garfield and the Rev. J. F. Carter, gathered on the lawn of the Sayre home agd planted a small walnut tree presented to Baby Sayre by Mr. Garfield. The President joined in the laughter when the baby firmly grasped the tree with both hands and seemed to be attempting to take it from his father. It was the first time the President had seen the baby since short- ly after his birth at the White House.

Anxiety over an investigation of his failure to account to clients for money intrusted to him for investment is de- lieved to have caued Haydel, a member of an old St. Louis family, and president of the Haydel Realty Co., 109 North Sev- enth street, to kill himself. The Real Estate Exchange, for several days, had been investigating complaints against him by three of his clients, and Adolph P. Erker, member of the optical firm of Erker Bros., was pressing him to make good a 84500 check which he had given to take up notes secured by a deed of trust, and which had been returned by the Mechanics-American National Bank with the notation, “insufficient funds,” Officials of the bank last night re- fused to say how much money Haydel had on deposit. Pressed to Settle Claims, Charles Z. Trembley, president of the Real Estate Exchange, gave out a written statement yesterday that the attorney for the exchange, War- ren McGinnis, had under investiga- tion the three complaints. Trembley refused to make public the details, giving as his reason that the inves- tigation had not been completed. He said, however, that nothing in the nature of a forgery charge had been made. A Post-Dispatch reporter learned by investigation among real estate men that several of Haydel’s clients complained that they had entrusted money to him for investment, and had taken his receipt, but had been unable to get him to settle their claims. x Erker said yesterday that he was acting in behalf of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Josephine Erker of 3632 Flora boulevard, who purchased a deed of trust and notes for $4500 from Hay- del three years ago.

AND ALLIES Ha UNDERSTANDING St. Louis Author of ‘“‘Pan-Ger- manism”’ Holds Statement in Book Is Proven by Events. Dispatches from New York yesterday reported that Frederick F. Schrader, 2 writer for the Fatherland, a pro-Ger- man war periodical, nad asserted in an article to be printed in the issue of May 5 that the United States was in secret alliance with Great Britain. He based this assertion, the dispatch said, chiefly on a statement by Prof. Roland G. Ush- er of St. Louis in hts book, Pan-Ger- manism.“ Schrader, in his article, is said to have declared that Usher had authori- tative knowledge of the fact of an al- liance, having obtained this knowledg from Charles W. Eliot, president eme- ritus of Harvard University, who had in turn obtained it from Theodore Roose- velt. Prof. Usher told a Post-Dispatch re- porter yesterday thar he did not get his information from Dr. Eliot or from Roosevelt. He said he did not care to say where he did get it, but he added that it was suffictent basis for the statement in ‘“Pan-Germanism,” an, which he holds has deen demonstrated by events to be true. The statement in question, as it ap- pears in the book, ts: “Once the magnitude of Pan-German- ism dawned on the English and French diplomats, they realized the necessity of strengthening their position, and therefore made overtures to the United States, which resulted, probably before the summer of the year 1897, in an un- front row, left — N f i te > ne * en ee 6 ae XS oe ae * r . ye ert, Maes , eae 5 erthantting between ths three @ — — SPE that no papers of any sort were signed, and that no pledges were given which circumstances would not justify any one of the contracting parties in deny- ing or possibly repudiating. Neverthe- less, an understanding was reached that in case of a war begun by Germany or Austria for the purpose of executing Pan-Germanism, the United States would promptly declare in favor of En- giand and France and would do her ut- most to assist them. * * The all- ance, for it was nothing less, was based on infinitely firmer ground than written words * the situation, geograph- ic, economic and political, of the con- tracting nations which made such agree- ment mutually advantageous to them all.“ Prof. Usher declared that one of the events, since the paragraph was written, that tended to prove its correctness was the action of Great Britain in relin- quishing naval control of the Gulf cf Mexico to the United States. At present, he said, the United States Government is able, while strictly fol- lowing precedents, to aid the allies by the sale of munitions of war. Rut if che United States, in order to ald the allies, had to break precedents, Prof. Usher declared his belief that it would go ahead and break them. “The alliance between this country and England,” he sid, is just the sort of alliance which England always has. England’s alliance with France was hardly any closer, for France never knew, until Britain declared war, what Britain was going to do. England does not exchange promises—ngland oaly comes to an understanding as to mutual interests. Our understanding with En- gland did not require us to go to war. If it had required this, we would hav been getting ready for war in the mean- time—a thing we have not done.“ Mme. Grouich to Speak Today. Mme.

Haydel was 55 years old, and had been in the real estate business for many years, having inherited the business from his father. The busi- ness was founded by his maternal grandfather, John Byrne Jr. Until two years ago the Haydel family lived in a stately old house at 4321 Virginia avenue, which had formerly been the suburban home of Haydel’s grandfather. The house stood on a block of ground, sur- rcunded by forest es. The prop- verty was sold a few years ago and cut into lots. was that he had been worried over Charge Against Nicholls in Case of Deal to Build an Apartment The embezzlement charge on which Nicholls was indicted was made by John B. Westermayer of 3615 Juniata street. Westermayer’s charge, as oytlined to the grand jury, set forth the following state of facts: Early in 1913, the Ashdown Realty Co. desired to improve a vacant lit in Nina place, Parkview, which it owned, with an apartment house to cost $8500, For this purpose, the Ashdown company executed a deed of trust for $8500 on the lot, cover- ing the intended building as well, and placed it in Nicholl’s hands, to be sold at a commission of 2 1-2 per cent, for Nicholls’ services in raising the money, and in distributing it for the apartment house, according to specified plans. Nicholls, acting for the Nicholls- Ritter-Goodnow Co., sold this deed to Westermayer, it is alleged, taking a $4000, of unquestioned value, in pay- ment. Nicholls paid out $1500 or $1600 on the building, and then ceased to make payments for this purpose. This left a balance 6f $7000 received from Westermayer and not expended for the building, and this $7000 Nich- olle is now charged with having em- bezzled. Nicholls’ View of Case. Nicholls, in a signed statement is- sued a few days ago as to the West- said that the reason for his failure to continue making the payments on the building ‘was the closing of his place of busi- ness by a Constable last June, and the ensuing bankruptcy proceedings. He suggested that Westermayer’s ‘against the Nicholls-Ritter-Goodnow Co., and Nicholls and Ritter person- ally. The view taken by the Circuit At- torney and the grand jury was that Nie@olis, in selling the deed to West- @rmayer, obligated himself to spend the entire $8600 for the purpose agreed on, and that without the erec- tion of the building, the seourity for the loan was not complete. This money, it was held, should have been kept apart by Nicholls for this pur- pose, and it was not liable to other clainis against him. Its use for any other purpose was held to have con- stituted embezzlement. Nicholis Gives Bond. — Nicholls was arrested at his office, 720 Chestnut street, where he now con- ducts a real estate business. He was dictating to his stenographer at the time. He asked the Deputy Sheriff who E BEVERAGE > mmer 3 for : 8 Ties ole feral The a der for "ever the crew of the steamship Victoria, {by the schooner Flyer made the arrest what the charge was, and expressed surprise that an indict- ment had béen found. He went, in cus- tody, to the Municipal Courts Building, and, finding no Judge there, went to the Mercantile Club, where Judge Fisher was spending the afternoon. Henry B. Scannel, a builder, signed the bond, which was in the sum of 32000. Attor- ney Robert Nichols, who aided Nicholls in arranging the bond, said later that he would not represent him in his trial. The Nicholis-Ritter Co. (Richcard F. Goodnow had withdrawn before that time) went into bankruptcy last June, with debts of $300,000 and assets which were variously estimated from $29.55 to $5000. E, P. V. Ritter, the other member of the firm, who was in New York, has not since visited St. Louis. The grand jury made a partial inquiry into the company’s affairs after its condition had been shown in the Federal Court bank- ruptey proceedings, but no action re- sulted. The Frederick expose of three weeks ago, and the inquiry which it started in other cases, are believed to have been the chief cause of the renewal of com- plaints against Nicholls. Nicholls was formerly an elder in the Grand avenue (now the Westminster) Presbyterian Church, but he resigned this position after the bankruptcy case had given publicity to his business af- fairs. He was for years superintendent of the Sunday school there, and taught a Bible class. -~ A COMPLAINT IN THE DANIEL CASE Daniel, whose transactions were first brought before the grand jury two weeks ago, was arrested at 2 p. m., and gave bond in the sum of $1500 at 5:30, before Judge Arnold in the courthouse, with Sam Arky as bondsman. He refused to make any statement. Dr. William Brantner Temm of 1469 Wnion boulevard, a dentist, was complainant against Daniel. Dr. Temm went to the Circuit Attorney two weeks ago and complained that n> had purchased four deeds of trust from the Daniel Realty Co., under the impression that they were first deeds of trust. He had the deeds investi- gated by John J. Dowling, real estate dealer at 1134 Chestnut street, ane found, he said, that three were sec ond deeds, one being on property which had been sold under fore- closure on a first deed, and that the remaining one was forged. The one which was said to be forged bore the purported signatures of J. T. Lefler and his wife. It was for $656, 1n4 covered a lot in Vinita Park. Lefler and his wife denied never owned the property in ques- tion. The deed was described, in a re- ceipt produced by Dr. Temm, with J. T. Daniel's signature, as a first deed.

Assailants Who Fired Through Fence Sought to Ste l Keg of Beverage. John McFiidden, an engineer, 2215 Olive street, and William Waltz, a guest ata party in honor of McFadden’s birthday, were strangely wounded about 10:30 o’clock last night, when revolver shots were fired through a gate at the rear of McFadden’s house. The assailants escaped. There were ‘about a dozen men and their wives at the party, and the guests were in the dining room about the ta- ble when McFadden, according to his statement to a Post-Dispatch reporter; Burglars entered McFadden’s home three times last year, he said, and he built a high fence with a strong gate as a protection. He and Waltz walked to the gate and asked who was there. They heard two or three voices in the alley, and then someone said: Come on out and we'll show you.” The two men turned back to the house to arm themselves with pokers before opening the gate. They took a few steps, and then four shots were fired, the bullets splintering the gate. Both McFadden and Waltz were hit in the thigh. The former, after treatment at the dispensary, returned home. Waltz, who was more painfully injured, was taken to the city hospital. Policemen found an abandoned wheel- barrow at Twenty-second and Pine stheets, two blocks away. A keg of beer, in readiness for the birthday party, was standing on ice in McFadden’s back yard. The police theory was that an attempt was made to steal the beer ana take it away on the wheelbarrow, and that the would- be thieves shot McFadden and Waltz.

Oftentimes you are nervous, sleepless, have no appetite and feel run down, Under these conditions you will greatly appreciate the assistance to be derived from a trial of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit- ters. It helps Nature by toning and strengthening the Stomach, Liver and Bowels, and with these er normal condition your syste fortified against an attack of Sick Head- ache, Heartburn, Indigestion.

This contrast ictures better than anything else the prog- ress of the Case Company during the past forty-four years. Since the earliest day of horseless car- riages,'the Case engineers have kept apace —often ahead—of motor car development. The present CASE car is of years of development. The picture of the CASE Car may look like other au- tomobiles—it, too, has four wheels and a hood and a body. But it is built in the CASE way. There's the difference. The CASE Company could never consent to produce a car less reliable than its other products. For 72 years the CASE name has been an honored one because the Company has kept faith with men. Our motives — may be selfish in thus making wor thy products. But we are deter- mined to make CASE Cars worthy of the name they This justifies our | statement—always proved to those in - terested — that the CASE Carabounds in“ Hidden Values. In looking at the CASE you would merely see itsstyle, its finish, its room- iness. In drivingit —you merely feel“ go into construction details —when you commence to compare it—detail by de- tail—then you commence to realize its Hidden Values. When you have driven it for several years—when you look back at the lack of re- pair bills and the low oper- ating costs—then you know it is honestly built. You re- alize that only superior ma- terials have been used, made J. I. CASE T. M. and put together by pains- taking craftsmen. There are 33 ways we could have made a CASE costing less—but it would have been a car less perfect. We have built for you the kind of car you’d want to build for yourself. We sin- cerely believe it is the best car of its class—and as good as cars costing far more. While we have never *‘skimiped’’ on the car to reduce its price—there are two ways we save where others must Spend. 1. This car is built in the im- mense CASE plant. backed by CASE engineers. We lost no time or money in establishing our motor car depart- ment. 2. The CASE Car is sold by our established sales organization— world-wide. We thus save the usual heavy selling ex- pense. What we save in these two items goes right back into the car.

PEKIN, May 2 (Sunday). — China has replied to the Japanese demands in a note which, while complying with some of the demands, definitely refused to accede to others, including’ the most important embodied in what is known as group 6. China also has furnished to the Jap- anese Minister, Eki Hioki, a list of further concessions which she is will- ing to grant, but after perusing the note and the list Hioki declared that it was far from complying with the 24 de- mands as presented by his Government. This action was taken after President Yuan Shi Kal had thoroughly discussed the entire situation with the members of his Cabinet and his advisers since last Monday. ; The Chinese plenipotentiaries met the Japanese plenipotentiaries by arrange- ment yesterday at the Foreign Office and presented China's reply, which, in- substance, refused the so-called ‘‘gen- eral demands” of Japan. Maximum Concessions. Hioki asked whether these were China’s maximum, concessions, and then whether he should cable his Govern- ment. Lu Cheng-Hsiang, the Chinese Foreign Minister, replied that these were China’s maximum concessions and that the Japanese Minister could so in- form his Government. The conference terminated with neith- er the Japanese nor Chinese asking for another meeting. Should the Japanese Government now present an ultimatum or occupy more territory in China, it is intimated that the Chinese probably would appeal to the four Powers which are pledged to China’s independence. On perceiving that the Chinese re- ply failed to agree to the demands of his Government, the Jaapnese Minis- ter declared the withdrawal of Japan's proposal to return to China Tsingtau, which was conditioned on China’s defer- ring no longer the acceptance of Japan’s demands. The Chinese note briefly recites the history of the negotiatiyns. It denies Japan's charge that China as displayed procrastination and delayed the confer- ences by disputii g various points, and also the charges of Chinese insincerity and unfriendliness. It further denies that China is conducting a newspaper 2 mon tcampaign abroad. These were the rea- sons the Japanese plenipotentiaries gave for presenting their latest list of 24 de- mands as a preliminary to an ultima- tum. Counter Proposals Made. The list of concessions is in the nature of counter proposals. China asks the right to participate in an international conference in which the altered status cf Shantung will be rearranged, indem- nity for the losses incurred in conse- quence of the Tsingtau campaign and also restoration of its status as before the war. These three requests are re- peated from China's original counter- proposals. China offers further con- cessions wifh respect to Manchuria, al- most meeting the Japanese demands. China accedes to three of the four de- mands regarding Mongolia, namely tho opening of treaty ports, preference in railway loans and the non-pledging of ‘ocal taxes. The agricultural demand is rejected. Respect the Hanyehping com- pany, China agrees that, pending the eventual formation of a Chino-Japancese company, the Government cannot make the company state-owned or borrow for- eign capital for the repayment of the Japanese loan. The Chinese understand that this is acceptable to Japan. China rejects the fifth group with the excep- tion of the modified Fukien demand, ot. fering in this connection a separate note, intended to meet Japan’s wishes, ny pledging that no foreigners shall re- celve coastal concessions or contracts without Japan’s consent. — @—___.. WASHINGTON LOOKS FOR A COMPROMISE WASHINGTON, May 1—Rejection by China of the so-called ‘‘general group“ of the Japanese demands occasioned lit- tle surprise in official quarters here. While the railway and mining conces- sions sought pertaining directly to cer- tain local section of China in which the Japanese are endeavoring to estab- lish a sphere of influence, have been re- garded as not difficult of adjustmen: the articles in group 5 have been looked upon since the beginning by the Chinese as the most vital to the maintenance of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of China. It was recalled today that China early in February virtually rejected the same demands by refusing to discuss them, even in principle. Their reappearane> in a modified form was believed by the Japanese to offer a basis for compro- mising; but China's action today ind’ cates her unwillingness te admit articles to discussion even under mot © cation. Observers hers familiar with War Bastern affa'r= d not belleve that a crisis had Geen ~>:. hed: but that with the es pression by 4h side in the nego- tiations of its extreme position, the way would be opened for compromises. It generally was belicved that, the re- jection by China of group & would be followed by further conferences and an endeavor to reconstruct the serics of articles along lines more acceptable to China. Secretary Bryan continued tony his policy of absolute silence on tse Jap- anse-Chinese situation; but it 16 as- sumed in diplomatic quarters here that both the United States and Great Britain are greatly exerting influence to- a. — i | = . — — Ae e “ f FW 1410 e | | 1 | J 4 HII | ‘cil a | | , | 1 7 : Bin 10 l. How often have you sat beside a Phonograph and thought, “Could I but play it co I but exercise some power of control over. thes music! How wonderfully perfect, how satesfactory, how much more interesting would the Phonograph become AEOLIAN -VOCALION Is a Better Phonograph and One that You Can Play When It Plays for You When you let The Aeolian-Vocalion play for you—for like other Phonographs it will play itself—you are astonished at what sound like new tones and effects. & The music is richer and deeper and fuller than any you have heard before from a Phonograph. Nor do you hear any of those noises that have seemed to be inseparable from phonographic reproduction. Every instrumental Record that it plays reflects its own distinctive tone-quality. The violin is truly a violin, with all the wistful, string beauty of that instrument. Clarionets, flutes, horns, all identify themselves the moment they are heard. While vocal Records sound like the veritable living tones of human beings, not like strident reproductions. If you use The Aeolian-Vocalion for dancing, another; phase of its superiority to other Phonographs, becomes ap- parent. Its fullness and body of tone, give it greater carry- ing power than other Phonographs possess. Without loudness or harshness, its musical strains pervade a greater area, reaching the ears of even those relatively distant from it. es When You Play It When you play the Aeolian-Vocalion by means of its wonderful new feature—The Graduola—you do not change the artist's interpretation. That remains always, in spirit, the same. His phrasing, his tempo, are part of the Record. These you neither can, nor indeed do you desire, to alter. But this you can do. You can give to the music new beauty and a new quality of livingness. You can vary it in subtle details, just as the Artist himself varies his every performance. You can.shade and color the tones, now rendering this soft passage, still softer. Again giving to these brave phrases still greater power and dominance. | Think what this means! Mastery of the Phonograph means mastery of all instruments and vowes. Do you love the violin? Then play violin Records ex- pressing your own musical instincts with the bows of the world’s most famous masters. Do you wish to sing? The sweetest, best-trained voices in the world are yours. Words cannot picture the charm and interest of the Aeolian-Vocalion with its marvelous new tone-control. You must hear it and play it yourself. Then you will com- rehend why it has leapt into instant and amazing popu- arity. large variety of beautiful models. prices compare favorably with those of r of other make. One favorite style, costing $90, may be purchased for $10 down and $5 per month. All the different models are sold on moder- ate terms.

And 12,000 owners in 48 countries have proved this Light Six faultless. In the past two seasons they have driven it at least 30 million miles. Our Prize Success There have been many successful HUDSONS, but none so successful as this. When this Light Six came out—the first model—it took a year to catch up with our orders. Sales last 11,500,000—near- ly doubled the year before. This year shows another amazing increase. And never was a car s0 widely copied as this Hudson—the pioneer Light Six. Look a Year Ahead When you buy a Light Six look a .year ahead. Do more than consider You want a Light Six when you buy a class car. You want lightness, economy, low upkeep cost. Crude, heavy cars are not popular now. Get the Light Six that has proved itself right. The HUDSON has done that for two seasons, in more than 12,000 hands. Luxury’s High Mark This HUDSON sets a new high mark, in beauty, finish, comfort and eqiiipment. We have given a whole year to refinements since the model itself was perfected. You will be proud to own it. Last Spring there was a shortage of HUDSONS. Buyers waited weeks for cars. Now we have larger output, but there will be far from enough, we think.

I was in Constantinople, recoy- ering from a wound inflicted by a would- be assassin when the war broke out. 1 intended leaving immediately for Egypt, but the English advised me not to hurry back, that everything in Egypt was quiet, that the weather was too hot in Cairo to make it advisable for me to through the Dardanelles in my yacht. “When it became evident that Turkey would become involved in the war, Sir Lewis Mallet, British Ambassador at Constantinople, informed me I should leave Constantinople, but not to return to Cairo. He insisted I must go to Italy and remain there during the war. 1 asked why not Switzerland or elsewhere, but he said no, I must go and remain in Italy. “England not only. wanted me out of go to Italy. I refused. That caused the instead of my palace at Cairo.” Hag Not Abdicated, He Says. The Khedive seemed disinclined to say what motives actuated England in not wanting him to return to Cairo during the war. I am telling you the facts in the case, he continued. “England can best answer for herself as to the reasons for her wrongful action toward me.” “Is it to be understood that Your Highness has abdicated?” I asked. No, sir, I have neither abdicated nor my children to the throne of Egypt,” he declared with much emphasis. “I have owed allegiance and fealty to the Sultan of Turkey, of whom Egypt is a depend- ancy. It was right I should go to Turkey in this war. Racially and in re- ligion Egypt is part of the Turkish em- pire. against the Turkish sovereignty. Egypt has been autonomous to the point of almost practical independence. Turkey to encroach on the independence, rights and liberties. On the contrary, the Turkish Sultans from time to time increased rather than decreased those rights, liberties and autonomy that Egypt enjoyed.“ Do you recognize the right of the English to depose you and declare your throne vacant?“ “I do not. I have always been con- sidered and treated as an independent sovereign, with all the honors attached thereto. I was so received and honored by other sovereigns whom I have vis- ited. I had the right to confer honors and decorations on others, given me for that purpose by the Sultan. Right of Might, He Asserts. Through my Ministers I dealt direct with other sovereigns, and I cannot, therefore, see by what standpoint of right, if we speak of right, that the En- glish can depose me. That right is merely the right of might in this case.”’ Has Your Highness any hope of get- ting back the throne of Egypt?!“ “This war is not an Egyptian ques- tion, but a great general European ques- by way of polite evasion. I asked if the Egyptians were happy, contented and satisfied under British rule or if there was feeling against the English. He said: It is natural that the Egyptians de- sire freedom, and that this feeling finds expression. Egypt, like every other country, prefers being free from foreign domination. Since 1882 the Egyptians have had to pay the cost of British army occupation.”’ The ex-Khedive was disinclined further to discuss political conditions in Egypt, but started to talk about the re- lations between Egypt and America. Americans Welcome Visitors, “Americans are among our most welcome visitors,” he said. “It was the mission sent to America by my great - grandfather which first brought cotton to Egypt. The first instructions given our modern Egyp- tian army was by American army of- ficers. The uniform which the Egyp- tian army wears we call our Amer- ican uniform because it still largely consists of designs by the American instructors of those days. “In our irrigation system we owe much to American engineers, many of whom came to the Nile to study and also to introduce their ideas brought from America. I kept up this American tradition of my great- grandfather and my grandfather. Whenever English engineers submit- ted plans I always conferred with American engineers to get their ideas.“ b Many young men in Egypt owe their education to America, he added, saying that at present over 100 Egyp- tian students are in the American College in Beyrout. “Of all the foreign institutions of learning in the Levant the American is the most popular with the Turks and Egyptians, because of the toler- ‘ance and respect for our religion. Few people realize the great work your institutions in Beyrout and else- where are doing.” THEODORE FEHLIG, PRESIDENT OF BOX COMPANY, DIES | Webster Groves Man Was Active Charity Worker—Once Head of German St. Vincent Society. Theodore Fehlig, president and gen- eral manager of the Fehlig Brothers Box Manufacturing Co., died yesterday at his home in Webster Groves. He had been a resident of St. Louis for nearly half a century. He was 75 years old. He organized the box concern in 1887. Prior to that he was engaged in busi- ness with his brother, Frank Fehlig, at Nineteenth and Wash streets. Fehlig, who was born at Hanover, Germasy, was an officer in the German army. After he came to St. Louis he took an active part in charitable work and was for many years president of the German St. Vincent Orphan Soci- ety. He is survived by his wife, three sons, the Rev. J.

Nollau, 62 years old, for the last 30 years pastor of the Evan- gelica? Church at Waterloo, III., it was learned by the Post-Dispatch last night, lost approximately $8200, representing the savings of a lifetime, through invest- ments in real estate deeds of trust bought from A. H. Frederick, who is serving a 10-year sentence in the State penitentiary for forgery in the first de- gree. An account of his loss was confirmed by officials of the State National Bank of Waterloo, who, at the time of the ex- posure of Frederick’s fraudulent. trans- actions, investigated four deeds of trust held by the Rev. Mr. Nollau on St. Louls property and found them to be worthless. The action of the bank in this matter led to the erroneous report at the time of the Frederick inquiry that the bank was the loser to the amount of $8200. Left Virtually Penniless. The Rev. Mr. Nollau is in Addieville, III., attending a church convention, and could not be reached by a reporter. His son, Armin Nollau, and his wife, how- ever, ‘confirmed his loss, and said that he was left penniless except for his salary as minister at a time when he will soon be forced to give up his pas- torate because of failing sight. Before going to Waterloo the Rev. Mr. Nollau was pastor of St. Mark’s Evan- gelical Church at Soulard and Jackson streets, St. Louis, where Frederick's father was a member of his congrega- tion. Frederick, members of the min- ister’s family said, grew wp In that church, and his brother, Charles, was confirmed there. Mr. Nellau at that time was well known in &t. Louis. Shortly prior to 1908 the clergyman and his family had saved a few thousand dollars and then one of his sons died, leaving insurance which brought the to- | tat to about $8200.

Dr. William Crawford Gorgas, Sur- geon-General of the U. 8. Army, told 84 members of the St. Louis branch of the Medical Reserve Corps, U. S. Army, at a banquet at the St. Louis Club last night, what they would have to do in case the United States should go to war. Dr. Harvey C. Mudd, who acted as toastmaster, is president of the St. Louis branch, and Dr. W. C. G. Kirchner is vice-president. Some of the members are of rather advanced age for military duty and Dr. Gorgas mentioned this fact which, he said, would not disqualify them. In the event of war,” said Dr. Gor- gas, 40, 000 beds would have to be pre- pared, distributed among 80 hospitals. The older members of the Medical Re- serve Corps would not have to go into the field, but would be assigned to the hospitals, and volunteer surgeons could be assigned to field hospitals and am- dulance work.“ Army officers from Jefferson Barracks and representatives of medical societies were also among the 30 guests. Dr. Gorgas repeated, in a somewhat differ- ent form, the unfavorable comment which he made, in his address at the Washington University Medical School. Friday, on the attitude of the Panama Canal management toward his anti-mos- quito work. clared that Col. George W. Goethals, whom he designated by his office, though not mentioning his name, was to blame for the failure to rid the canai zone of malaria. He was not so explicit last night, but his remarks were of similar tenor. In Havana, during the American oc- cupation,’’ he said, “I could sit in my In his talk Friday he de- eee ee oe ee ee would be fulfilled within a week. In Panama, the orders I wrote would have no more effect than the wind. Lack of organization was the trouble.” Dr. Gorgas will leave at noon today for Washington. He spoke at the City Club luncheon yesterday on the development of the tropics which modern sanitation may bring about, and on the benefit which should come to the Mississippi Valley from this development. TRAINS OF TWO CARS TO BE RUN ON GREVE COEUH LINE Other Changes Made by United Rail- ways te Lessen Danger of Accidents. Trains of two cars instead of sin- Sle coaches will be operated on the Creve Coeur line hereafter. In order to forestall accident, the United Rail- ways Co. has decided to run trains instead of cars because they can be operated at greater intervals and, while admitting of the same speed, lessen the chance of rear-end acci- dents, To further prevent accidents, the company has equipped each car with its own automatic air compresser, which insures that the air pressure will never go under the required amount to stop the car. The trains are to be so arranged that the motor- man of the forward car applies the brakes to both cars at the same time. In addition to these safety pre- cautions, the company has installed new whistles which may be heard at a great distance. — —— KING The Car of No Regrets HEINRICH AUTOMOBILE Co. 5123 Delmar Boul.

Without exception, everyone is delighted with the car, and orders insure by long odds the most successful season this famous pioneer of light sixes has ever had. The factory has greatly increased its production, and our allotment is liberal, but you will do well to place your order at once to be sure of prompt delivery. The luxurious new body is a genuine seven-passenger body. No cramping, no crowding. When not in use the two ayxiliary seats fold away neatly entirely ont of sight in the floor and the back of the front seat, leaving the ton- neau free from any marring obstruction and converting the car into an extremely roomy five-passenger carriage. Not long ago a car of such beauty and size and conveni- ence immediately brought to mind the thought of high price. Rich men were paying four and five thousand doliars for cars of such comfort only a couple of years ago. Yet today you can buy this car for $1295. Only a couple of years ago, too, such a price would have been reo ag for a small, good four-cylinder car. And here, , for this price you get the leader of speedy, power- ible, light-weight sixes. eg many people who really wanted and needed geven-passenger cars have done without them because of excessive weight and expensive maintenance. This obstacle has been overcome now.. For the new seven- er Chandler completely equipped is still under passeng the 3000 pound mark. Such a car seems quite impossible for $1295. But the Chandler has always offered seemingly impossible value for its price.

LONDON, May 1.—A severe geaction of public sentiment on the “war ba- blies“ problem has set in. The public sense of morality was nearly stamped out at first by the appealing guise in which the question was presented. The Protestant church authorities have poured cold water on the encourage- ment and endowment of moral laxity in the nation because it is at war. The Bishop of Oxford, one of the most eminent Anglican divines, says: The controversy indicates à very widespread laxity of sentiment and feelings with regard to sexual matters. I do not doubt in the least that of the two vices, intemperance and sexual im- morality, thé latter is working incom- parably greater havoc. There is also an extraordinary and almost universal laxity with regard to the sanctity of the marriage tie. Opposed to “Free Love.” The Bishop of Chelmsford enters his protest against newspapers with im- mense circulations using the present moment of stress and strain for the purpose of strongly advocating free love.” The Dean of Colchester avers that the threatening ‘‘war baby’’ problem has been grossly exaggerated. “I was told, he said, ‘that there was 200 in my dis- trict; I found there were two.“ Roman Catholic authorities have re- fused to make any announcement on th€ subject, relying en the normal work of their priesthood to maintain the mo- rality of their flock. Premier Asquith extinguished, in a sentence, Ronald McNeill’s suggestion that men at the front who had left prospective or actual war babies” at home should be married by proxy and not a voice was raised in the House of Commons in defense of the novel sug- gestion which, even if otherwise accet- able, would be utterly impracticable, it is thought, to carry out. McNeill said he also favored a general edict of for- giveness from the pulpits which would remove the stigma from the ‘‘war ba- blies.“ Tarew a Book at Churchill. McNeill hitherto was known to fame only as the Orange member who flung a book across the floor of the House of Commons at Winston Churchill during a parliamentary scene. His aim was de- fective. He has failed to offer any ver- ification of his astounding assertion that, to his knowledge, there are 2000 war babies expected in one borough, though he has vaguely hinted that it is on the border between England and Scotland. Meantime, it is heard from military and other observers that the war ba- blies“ campaign has had a bad effect. It is an emotional time in thesę is- lands and the fascination of the soldier for the maid is stirred to its fullest ex pression. In some camps in the neigh- borhood of big towns and popular sea- side resorts, the commanding officers have given timely words of counsel to their men. Editor's View of Problem. The editor of the Daily News, in a special article, discusses some of the difficulties of dealing with the trouble: “One of the most common difficultias relates to the identity of the father.“ he say. “Most of those concerned have long since gone abroad, many are dead, many more never will return and prob- ably a large proportion are not even known. Where their identity is ascertainable, they should be subject to a charge sim- ilar to that borne by a married soldier. The most distressing fact in connec- tion with the problem is the large pro- portion of cases in which the law as to age of consent has been outraged. It is important to know what warnings were issued by the War Office on this subject which would give somé guide as to how far fathers are to be held Hable to pro- visions of the law essential to the pro- tection of children at their most critical and unbalanced age.“ The editor of the News considers that recognition of the mothers is a vastly complex question, but adds: The child is the real care of the state and with the abundant voluntary ‘ organizations now acting it should be possible to see that its interest are abundantly vided for.“ NEW WALNUTS ON OLD TREES Arisona Naturalista Revolutionizes Growing Industry by Grafting. TUCSON, Ariz., May 1.—The walnut industry of Arizona is being revolution- ized by the discovery of C. R. Bieder- man, a naturalist, that the English wal nut can be grafted on the native Ari- zona tree and made to bear the new fruit the following year. Not only is the fruit richer and of more commercial value, but the character of the grafted trees is changed so that they are#prefer- able to other kinds for the purpose of beautification. The experiment of Biederman was be- gun several years ago and was so won- derfully successful that the entire coun- try has become interested in it. The State Commissiongr of Highways of pro- Missouri, having heard of the possibili- ties of the tree, has planned to get Ari- zont plants to place along public high- ways of Missouri. + - Post-Dispatch Wants will include the | fequests of good cooks and domestics 4 Capable workers will find the Want Aa. dos: mediym far aAvartiaing + =j}¢ a i ener ee wats en a g 7 * —(X—-—t . aes = N l 8 ORE ¥ e * 9 RG 8 DR ae a aie ö —— —ä—ñ4ꝓ ARREST OF GIRL REVEALS ROMANCE WITH WEDDED MAN Tailor Wrote Song, No One Can Win You From Me“ That Young Musician Had. Miss Rosie Jungman, a musician, 25 years old, was arrested yesterday after- noon at 3830 Washington avenue, and was ordered held pending an investiga- tion, according to the police, as to wheth- er a violation of the Mann act had been committed by Charles E. Wright, 42 years old, a tailor. He was arrested Thursday on a charge of deserting his wife, Mrs. Laura Wright of 802 South Taylor avenue, Chicago, and was re- leased on bond to appear tomorrow in Judge Clark’s court. Miss Jungman admitted, the police say, that since January she had lived with Wright as his wife, at various addresses in St. Louis. She met Wright seven years ago, she said, when she was a shopgirl in a department store in Chi- cago, and Wright was employed in one of the departments. They were attract- ed by the love of music, she said, she playing the piano and Wright using his spare time to compose songs, which she played for him. In her possession was a song bearing her picture on the title page. The re ~ 3 e title was: No One Can Win Tou From Me. The young woman lived up to the title when she was confronted at police headquarters by Mrs. Amy Osborne, a stylishly-dressed young woman, who is Mrs. Wright's sister. It was Mrs. Os. borne who obtained the information which led to the arrest of Wright and Miss Jungman, and she sought to per- suade the, latter to promise to testify against Wright. “Think of the wrong vou,“ said Mrs. Osborne. “He has never done me any wrong,” said the girl. She declared that Wright did not ac- company her. to St. Louis and that he did not send money for the trip. He wrote her his address, she said, and she came on her own responsibility. LAWSON CASE GOES TO JURY Labor Leader’s Counsel Charges De- tectives With Swearing for Money. TRINIDAD, Colc., May 1.—The case of John R. Lawson, labor leader, on trial for the alleged murder of John Nimmo, a Deputy Sheriff, Oct. 75, 1913, went to the jury late this afternoon. Attorneys for the prosecution argued that the evidence had proved that the strikers started the battle in which Nimmo was kilied and that Lawson vas in command of the attacking party. The theory of the defense was that the battle was started by deputy sher- iffs and that Lawson, instead of incit- ing a riot, tried to calm the men and women of the Ludlow tent colony. Horace N. Hawkins, for the defense, referring to the testimony of two de- tectives, shouted: “‘Someouody is hiring these detectives to go on the stand ond try and swear away Lawson’s fife.’’ he has donc — The Post-Dispatch is the only evening news- paper in St Louis that receives or punishes news wathered hv the Asenciated press. oh + a, Sa ; ae 4 HET: Bebe oF 3 A a jm . * ron 8 e 3 cf 7 J 8 3 * 0 2 8 8 5 4 3 Fe ee 2 * * ee \ 7 > 8 4 ae ey Low if * * te + 1 . 7 Pow] a * 7 N fe .

Land dealers testifying yesterday in the United States District Court in the injunction suit brought by the First National Bank of Madison, III., against John E. Franklin, former president of the Bankers! Trust Co., and the Com- mittee of Creditors who have taken over his affairs, set values ranging as high as $680,000 on 8500 acres in Pe:miscot County, Mo., which the committee un- derteok to sell for $00,000 to William McGinley of Decatur, III. The plaintiff, one of Franklin's cred- itors, is sceking to enjoin the committee from consummating the sale, on the ground that the price obtained is too small, and to have the United States District Court take Franklin's affairs out of the hamds of the committee and administer them under the bankruptcy laws. 8 Under the arrangement made, McGin- ley paid $25,000 in cash and gave notes for the remaining $275,000. The suit halt- ed proceedings in the deal before he ac- quired title to the property. The mem- bers of the Committee of Creditors are — — — — — Richard 8. Hawes, Irvin B. ust Schilafy, August E. Booker ane Samuel C. McCluney. C. D. Martin, a St. Louis land dealer, testified that he would be willing to pay more than $300,000 in cash for the Frank- lin tracts, and that he had offered Mc- Ginley $50 an acre for 1400 acres of the land, or $70,000, but had been refused. On the objection of attorneys, sustained by Judge Dyer, Martin was mot required to state what definite sum he would pay for the property, as it was held that! the publication of this information might injure him in competition with other dealers. Martin denied he told McGin- ley that if he didn’t sell him 1400 acres he would attempt to prevent McGinley’s purchase of the property from being per- fected. Former Judge J. B. Brasher testified he had lived in Pemiscot County 8 years and was acquainted with the Franklin tracts. He estimated that 6000 acres, which are cleared, are worth from $75 to $100 an acre, or between $450,000 and $600,000; and that the remaining 500 acres are worth from $25 to $40 an acre, or be- tween $62,500 and $100,000. If properly ad- vertised, he said, the land should, on an average, bring from $60 to $80 an acre, or between $510,000 and $680,000. NEGRO STABS JUNK DEALER Two negroes appeared at the back door of Abe Hoffman’s residence at 2700 Dickson street at 9 o’clock last night and asked him if he wanted to buy some junk. Hoffman, who is in the junk business, said he transacted his business only during the day. One of the negroes insisted that Hoff- man should make a purchase and when he refused drew a knife and stabbed him in the left side. The negroes then fled through an alley.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEWARK, N. J., May 1.—The Ter- rierg had another inch chopped off their tails this afternoon, and stand a chance of losing a couple of more inches tomorrow because they play a double-header with the “Peps.” This is the more or less official name of the Newark club, which this afternoon trimmed the “Low-balls” by a 4 to 1 score. Both St. Louis and Newark played like regular major league clubs this afternoon. It would be a good deal of a bro- mide tc speak of Scheer, the Newark’s left-fielder as the “King of the May,” but the fact remains that Scheer was the ablest sort of a coadjutor to Moran in pulling off the result. On the defense he was “mamma's fair- haired boy. Moran was a crafty sort of a pitch- er. He looked easy, but he wasn't. The Terriers got a lot of hits, but when they needed them worse than a farmer needs a wagon, they couldn’ 5 et ghem. The reason, therefore, w chter.

In spite of the handicaps noted the car made the round trip from King’s highway and Lindell boulevards, to Kerr’s Mill road,in St. Louis County, and return. The last stroke of the engine as the last drop of gasoline went through the carburetor was just west of the Clayton road entrance to Forest Park. The run out showed better results from the gasoline used than the return trip, but the total mileage at the end of the trip as certified to by the observers was 36.9 miles for the gallon. The test was carried out with great fairness. In order to get actual distance, an auxilliary can was suspended at the left if the car at the hood, which was filled with a certified gallon of gaso- line. This tank communicated directly with the carburetor and there was no other gasoline in the car. At the end of the run the tank was again filled and the car was driven to Skinker road and Lindell drive, where the speedometer was tested over the two miles between that point and the lamp post at King’s highway and Lindell drive. It was found to be accurate. It was also test- ed simultaneously with the speedometer of another Franklin car and found cor- rect. A feature’of the test was the remark- able driving of Joseph B. Dryer, who took advantage of every factor which would assist to give longer mileage to the single gallon of gasoline carried, but who drove the car rapidly throughout the trip. The start was made at 7:48 a. m., and the car was back in St. Louis and the speedometer test finished by 10 a. m. Another Franklin car, driven by Sales Manager Wolffe of the Franklin Auto & Supply Co., accompanied the test car to give aid if needed and to clear the road of obstructing teams or road ma- chinery The gasoline was purchased from the filling station of the Standard Oil Co. at 3424 Locust street, and was their reg- ular Red Crown grade, taken directly from the filling tank. At the end of the trip the car was put on a public scale and was found to weigh, without pas- | sengers, 2720 pounds. With its passeng- ers it weighed 3250 pounds. The result of the test was wired to the Franklin Automobile Co. at Syracuse, N. V., by Mr. Dryer and a little later on the Franklin Company will issue a schedule of the mileage made by dealers in other towns and cities. The St. Louis average is greater than that of most of the dealers, but in some cities, hav- ing perfectly level roads and streets or smooth highways, the average is consid- erably greater than the St. Louis rec- ord. In last year’s trial the agent at Milwaukee drove his car 52 miles on one gallon of gasoline.

W. Sed- wick, manager of the Speedway. He is also Indiana representative of the A. A. A., and as an assistance to his work, he has just purchased and had delivered to him, a Buick model C-36 roadster, to keep in touch with his private business, as he is a prominent Indianapolis busi- ness and clubman and the multitude of affairs at the Speedway requires a fast, powerful and reliable car, and he was attracted to the Buick, because of the over-head valve motor, and the fact that practically every one of the con- tests won at the Speedway have been won by cars so equipped; in fact, ¢ars with over-head valve motors hold more records of wins at Indianapolis than any other type. It is a fact,” said F. W. A. Vesper, President of the Vesper-Buick Auto Co., “that most of the foreign cars that have been sent over of recent years have been equipped with over-head valve mo- tors, even though the cars built for regular usage and for sale by the con- cerns have been of some other type. This is due to the fact that it is recog- nized by all motor engineers that the over-head valve type is the most power- | ful. — —— — — — — — — — ũ . @ —Ʒ 022 —äͤ — * * While it is common to use two valves in the head, some of the foreign cars have even gone so far as to place three valves in the top of the cylinder— one for the intake, and two for ex- haust. It is also a significant fact that some of the American manufacturers in the cars that they build for speed rac- ing purposes are using the over-head valve type motor, even though their regular manufacture is of some of the other types.”’ The Buick Co. have entirely discon- tinued racing and take no part in speed contests, but hold an enviable record for having won 84 per cent of the races in which they started during the time in which they were taking part in speed contests. TAXI CO. BUILDS CARS The St. Louis Taxicab Co. has re- cently installed a plant for building and rebuilding automobiles and _ taxicabs. The company is employing in its its shops about 99 men, skilled mechanics and painters, has has a speciaily well-equipped plant to build a new car from the wheels up. Ten new limousines are now in process of assembling and the company ex- pects to have these new limousines in service before the end of the year. The company now owns 100 cars of all kinds and when the new equipment of limou- sines is completed, all the old-type taxi- cabs will be discarded.

W. Lamont. PHILADELPHIA, May 1.—Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank, New York, at today’s session of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, said the United States had not felt the full financial effect of the European war. * SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1915: America's financial position as affected by the war was discussed. Vanderlip said the inflation of note is. sue and the inflation of credit in the European countries at war had acted as a cushion against the shock. He thought the effect on the financial situation would eventually be felt more seriously than at present. The present easy money situation in the United States, according to T. W. Lamont, 2 member of the Morgan bank - ing firm of New York, was not due to excessive inflation in Europe. At the morning session, at which the relations of the United States with Cen- [tral and South America were discussed, Dr. Bernhard Dernberg, former Colonial Secretary of Germany, denied that Ger- many had protested against the right of the United States to ship arms to bellig- erents. A. B. Leach, president of the Invest- ment Bankers’ Association, said the net result of the war on this country’s finan- ces would be of substantial benefit. 9 The meeting closed tonight. a eee Advertise your property as though you believed its sale or rental to be impor- tant, by keeping it listed in the Big House, Home and Real Estate Directorv. BRYAN EXPECTS 10,000 HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TO MAIL PLEDGES Secretary Not Disappointed Over Scantily Hit Sawdust Trail at d New York. WASHINGTON, May 1.—Secretary Bryan this afternoon said that he was not disappointed at the results of his abstinence crusade in New York. While relatively few of thuse in his audience took the sawdust trail to the water wagon pledge as compered to those who signed up in Philadelphia, this snould not be interpreted to mean that the trio “It is not always the number of per- sons who sign pledges that signifies the success or failure of the meeting,” Mr. Bryan declared. “In New York and Philadelptia we got a great deal of newspaper advertising which went all over the country, and that in the long run is the important thing. “In a few days I expect to receive 10,000 names of high school boys at tached to pledges. Our pledges are be- ing distributed throughout the country and r mail brings in some new sign- ers.

One of the fellows in the office is such a hog for work that he’s doing some of yours as well as his own—and you’re let- ting the poor boob do it? Ha ha! That is a good joke, I don’t wonder you’re chuckling over it. The poor simp —butting in on your job! right to let him toil his fool head off, doesn’t it? But say, wait a minute. Has he got a better job than you have —or one not so good? Oh, you’re getting a lot more salary than he is, are you—and that makes it even funnier to let him handle some of your duties? Well, it’s a good joke, son, but I’m afraid it's likely to be on you if you keep it up. Why? Simplest thing in the world. If that poor simp, as you eall him, keeps on doing a lot of your work the boss will get wise to him after a while and let him do it all. And, as I presume the boss is hot running an institution for the maintenance of gentlemen of leisure, one Bob will be wondering where a fellow can land another job. Believe me, Bob, that boy isn’t such a simp as you think. He’s wise to himself and to you, and, if you like the position you hold and want to keep on holding it for a while—you make up your what he says. Berton Number Seven—ON WATCHING THE JOB ABOVE. Berton Braley is a Westerner whose widely known magazine cluding previous Sunday Post-Dis- patch contributions, has been com- pared to the writings of O. Henry He says what. he means and means Hence the wholesome tang of these everyday talks in the vernacular to the young men of today. Serves him Braley mind to do all your own work and do it as well as you can. Then the man below you won’t move into your job until you've moved up out of it. It’s a pretty good idea to keep your eye on the job above you all the time, just as that boy is doing. I don’t mean that you ought to be jealous of the man who has the place ahead of you, or that you ought to conspire or plot against him, or use any underhand means to supplant him; but I do mean that you ought to know as much about his job as you can, and that you ought to be fitting yourself to handle it in ease he moves up or out. I wouldn't recommend, however, that you try to do much of his work for him, or let him ease it off onto you, unless it’s absolutely necessary. Oh, I know I said the fellow below YOU might get your job by grabbing your work—and he might—but I don't believe in that plan of rising, just the same. Because there’s always the chance that it may interfere with doing your own work properly—which would hurt a heap more than the other would help. So, if you’ll listen to your Uncle Dudley, you'll quit chuckling over the poor boob who's doing your work, and do it yourseli— and do it a whole lot better than either you or any one else has ever done it before. That'll bring the smile without a comeback to it. work, in Russian Picture ‘of the Beauty of Battle HE master—a small, shriveled old man—can hardly get up from his filthy bed; and the mistress—a wrinkled, ill old woman—weeps unceasingly. Somewhere far away are her children—for she does not know where they are. There is nothing to eat, and she is ashamed to have to beg from the soldiers, who are so willing to share with her. Besides this, there is the ever- present terror that from the trenches, which are so very, very close, there may appear “Russkoe Slovo.” Pee eee This picturesque etching in words is so characteristic of the keenness of the Slav mind in finding the vivid and significant in the homeliest details, that it might have been a chapter from Tolstoy s War and Peace or his “Sebastopol Sketches. However, it was writien by an unnamed correspondent of the Russian newspaper, one on top of another; they are quite close, next to us, right under the walls of the hut: surely it must fall. And now we can hear a sound as of a person tapping persistently. untiringly, irritably at the wall with an enormous dry hard fist. This is the rifle fire beginning. We hurriedly dress and go out. It is terrible, but wonderfully beautiful. Short red flames burst out one after another, the searchlight throws its strange long pale beams as far as the horizon, and the screaming shrapnel falls on the ground Ae rere a German to fire the last remainders of her once-prosperous farm. And with these two, in their half of the hut, there are Billeted eight o-derlies; in the other half, in which there are two low, minute bunks like those in a ship’s cabin, there are living five doctors and three organ‘zers In these rooms are two offices—a kitchen and a store of provisions—and here is carried on the business interwoven with the life of every day. Towards the evening it becomes hot and stuffy in the hut from the number of persons gathered in it, the tobacco smoke, and the stove on which the evening meal is being cooked. So everyone goes out for a walk in the road by the woods. There is a moon, and the evening is bright and quiet. From here can be seen troops advancing, orderlies galloping to and fro, and a long line of field-kitchens on its way to the front stretched over the surface of the sparkling snow. Now is a strange time, when everything along the front is qui-t and the war ceases for an hour or two; for the men must rest and eat to be able afterwaids to carry on as before. At 9 o'clock everything is as it was; shrapnel bursts close by, and the heavy boom of artillery can once more be heard. Sometimes rifle firing will start, to continue intermittently throughout the night. Having returned to the farm, where a lamp is burning and newly arrived papers are lying on the table, we drink tea with lemon juice. A young Caucasjan doctor smokes now and then to lessen the numerous smells. Then we all begin to get ready to go to sleep. Some lie on their narrow folding camp beds, some on crates which once held provisions, and the rest simply on the beaten earthen floor. The conversation is of the war, of our birthplaces, and of the possibility of a night attack by the enemy. Soon all are asleep. In the little hut it is warm, quiet and snug, and only occasionally it shakes from the force of the exploding shells. It seems that here there is and can be no danger. Close on 3 o'clock we are awakened by a series of shocks which by the rattling of the furniture seem to be so great that the flimsy hut is having great difficulty in keeping to one spot. Someore speaks excitedly: “Do you hear it? It must be a night attack.” An incessant artillery battle now begins. The bursts of shells come — ——— Na PN —Üwwĩ[ůl— ty MB _ SUNDAY X PAGAL, ‘ST LOUIS.

Then everything begins to quiet down, like a storm that has exhausted its fury. But hardly have we started toward the hut when again It starts slowly, quietly, far away. Then nearer, clearer, more persistently, shriller. Rifles, quick-firers, howitzers, all once more enter the lists. The farther away the fiercer it seems. Now it becomes hard to distinguish one sound from the other, for the rifles and the big guns seem to make the same amount of noise. I have an unconquerable craving to go and see what is happening a verst or two away, where the battle is being fought. But from the peat bog on which the hut stands a fog has risen, and, in spite of the bright moon, it is impossible to see anything in the damp mist. And then suddenly a drawling, low, distant roar arises, grows, ap- - proaches. 1 can clearly hear amid this tornado of sounds the tones of many men’s voices. A faraway “A—a—a—!” getting louder every moment. Again, again! Here it is quite close to me, even farther off again, from this side, then from the other. My heart beats with excitement and agitation. I imagine—as I cannot see anything in the cold. dank mist—that something is approaching, that in a minute out of that darkness there may appear foreign soldiers. And, again, although I am encircled by a blanket of fog, I imagine I can 822 something. But that is impossible. Then again the long-drawn-out ““A—a—a—!” Now somewhat louder, more convincing, more triumphant. But suddenly everything almost at the same moment grows calm. One or two more shots are fired by rifles and guns And by 7 o'clock in the morning, when a slow, dull, drowsy dawn comes up from the north, there is complete silence all along our front. The day in the trenches begins. Baggage carts make their way along the road, orderlies hurry hither and thither. On the plain and in the woods the artillery fire at intervals. Some wounded are being brought in to the bandaging point and someone says that last night there was a night attack on our trenches, but by the strong, well-aimed thrusts of our brave men’s bayonets it was repulsed. r PNT eee Sat F< Pik) oats” oe R ; oe ee 8 5 DR ae for’, |

FRANKLIN H. GIDDINGS, {- professor of sociology and the history of civilization at Columbia University, has just aroused widespread com- ment by his promulgation of a list of “the three great est Americans”—to-wit: Jonathan Edwards, Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Thomp- son, Count Rumford—excluding Presidents, of course. Most persons would probably include Ben- jamin Franklin in such a list. Jonathan Edwards lingers vaguely in the popular memory as a sort of Puritan Billy Sunday, with a genius and scholarship of which the modern evangelist has no trace. But who, in the name of Edison and Rockefeller, was . Although few ever heard of him, Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, is thus ranked by Prof. F. H. Giddings—His career one of history's most amazing adventures—From dry goods clerk to ruler of Bavaria and Count of Holy Roman Empire Country schoolmaster at 20, member of British Ministry at 27—Fought on English side during Revolution and won immortal fame as scientist. He delivered the dispatches to Lord Georgo Germain, head of the Colonial Office, and 8 fascinated the Minister at first sight that he immediately gave him a desk in his office and daily breakfasted, dined and supped with the youthful and entertaining Ameri- can. Within a few months Thompson was appointed Secretary of the Province of Georgia, and four years later, at the age or 27, he became an under Secretary of Stai. Several Boston Tories, exiles in London, have left on record their amazement an! chagrin at being compelled to appeal for aid to the powerful favorite from whom, 1% few years before, they had bought drygoods. In addition, Thompson had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, because of his scientific researches into the effects of gun- powder and because, while on a cruise on a Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford? It is possible that not one American in a thousand has even heard the name of this woodchopper and shop boy who for 11 years was the real ruler of Bavaria; of this Yankee schoolmaster who, at the age of 27 years, was an under Secretary of State in the British Ministry; of this mathematician with a person- ality so fascinating as completely to bewitch everyone whom he set himself to win; of this friend of man- kind and flatterer of the great, at once a scientist ranking with Faraday, and the most ingratiating of courtiers; of this philanthropist with the keenest of eyes to the main chance; of this roue who, according to Prof. Giddings, was the founder of the modern Ger- man “culture of efficiency.” The sober facts of his career are such as make a novel of the wildest romance seem tame. In the midst of a life of dazzling personal adventure, he had time to achieve glory as a scientist through his fundaméntal discoveries concerning the laws of heat and its appli- cation to human service; or, as he called it, the scien- tific management of fire.” Benjamin Thompson was born March 26, 1753, at Wo- burn, Mass., 12 miles from the birthplace of Franklin. His family had been settled in New England about a century, and were moderately well-to-do farmers. The boy received a fair education, particularly in mathe- matics, through the interest of a learned clergyman, a graduate of Harvard, to which institution Count Rum- ford afterwards showed his gratitude by founding the Rumford professorship at Harvard University. At the ege of 14 Benjamin calculated a solar eclipse within four seconds of accuracy. When he was 13 years old his n despairing of ever making a farmer of their indolent, mercurial and bookish son, apprenticed him to a storekeeper at Salem. He soon conceived an intense aversion for the shop, and when his services were needed for waiting on customers, was too often found under one of the counters, where he was building a perpetual motion machine, or prac- ticing his talents as a draftsman and engraver. A pas- sionate devotion to his violin only added to his com- mercial demerits. As a boy he began the experiments with gunpowder and firearms which afterwards won him fame as the greatest. ordnance expert of his day. At the time of the repeal ot the stamp act, the. young. apprentice was en- gaged to prepare fireworks for the public jubilation in - ‘Salem...

His face, hands and chest were terribly burned and he suffered a long confinement, but escaped without marks of the accident. His Salem apprenticeship came to an end after three years, much to the content of his employer, and he became a clerk in a dry goods shop in Boston. He studied French at night, formulated recipes for making all kinds of fireworks, and chopped cordwood to pay for cloth to make himself a coat and to defray his pew rent. Tradition asserts that the youth was present at the “Boston Massacre,” sword in hand, “eager to at- tack the enemies of his country.” Notes from his diary show him to have been too busy at studying medicine and anatomy, making experiments in chemistry and physics and attending public lectures at Harvard to have had much zeal left for his duties as a clerk. In fact, he decided after two years that he had no talent for dry goods. So it was determined that as a last resort he should become a school teacher. He served six months at Bradford, N. H., and then was sum- moned to a better position at Concord, in the same State, a town which had until a short time previously borne the name of Rumford, after a suburb of that name near London. He was 19 when he went to Concord, an extremely announ SUNDAY MAREE.)

Here lived a rich widow, 33 years old—Mrs. Sarah Rolfe. Her instant capitulation was the first conspicuous example of the fascination of Thompson’s personality.

Thompson sailed with his regiment to Long Ic- land, towards the end of the war, and there carried on a guerilla warfare, during which his former countrymen accused him of many atrocities. Among other offenses, he was charged with razing churches to get stones for his fort, and with building an oven for his troops out of tombstones. It is pieasant to record that on his voy- age to America he had a ship fitted up with cannon of his own design and busied himself experimenting witia | explosives. At the end of the war Thompson was retired on he'f pay and obtained permission to make a tour of the Continent. One of his fellow passengers in the chann2f crossing was the famous historian, Gibbon, who notes in a letter to a friend that the three notables aboard were Gibbon himself, Henry Laurens, president of the Amer- ican Congress, and “Mr. Secretary-Colonel-Admiral- Philosopher Thompson.” If Thompson’s career so far was meteoric, it was now to rise to heights which in real life surpassed the ex- ploits credited by George Barr McCutcheon to his Ameri- can soldiers of fortune at imaginar, foreign courts. At Strasburg, during a military review, the handsome figure of an officer in British uniform, sitting a horse with princely grace, attracted the attention of Count Maximil- ian de Deux Ponts, nephew of Elector Karl Theodor of Bavaria and later to be made by Napoleon the first King of Bavaria. The Count requested an intngduction, and, like all others whom Thompson thought it worth his while to court, was instantly bewitched by the American’s charming manners and unequalled wit. When they separated, Thompson bore a flattering letter from Maxmilian to the Elector of Bavaria: and this ruler, in turn, at the first interview, succumbed to a most amazing infatuation for the stranger from Massachusetts. It is not too much to say that for 11 years the former shop clerk was the true ruler of Ba- varia. The highest honors and offices were showered vpon him in such multiplicity as to stagger and silence for a time the courtiers whom he supplanted. | ‘Prt first he had to return to England and obtain per- mierion to enter the Elector’s service. King George not only granted his request, but created him a Knight. pany of militia, elevating him over the. heads of officers Sir Reniamin Thompson. of long priority in years and s: rvice. This mark of: favoritism -was the direct cause of the great blot on Tbompson's name, from the American standpoint. When the Revolutionary War bro'e out and Wentworth, as Royal Governor, was compelled to flee, the officers whom Thompson had superseded de- nounced him as a Tory. A warning enabled him to flee in time, but a mob sacked his house and would ha ve killed him had he tarried there. He went to Woburn, sul ed about in hiding, applied for an officer's commis- sion in the continental army and was thrown into jail as a suspect. An official inquiry acquitted him of blame, but the experience was bitter to one who never had a diffident opinion of his own worth. Thereafter Thompson cast his lot with the British and against his native land. Making his escape to a British frigate, he was taker :0 Boston, then held by the English. In what manner he made the acquaintance of Gen. Howe is unknown, but when Gen. Washington compelled the evacuation of Boston, Thompson had won his way so far into the confidence of the British com- mander that he was sent to London with Uispatches announcing the defeat. bance an mrt * „„ ie E 2 . 8 * * —— CRN then, <..

The fascinated Elector later obtained for his adviser a patent of the Holy Poman Empire creating him Benjamin, Count of Rum- ford, the name being taken from the New Hampshire village which has now grown into the city of Con- cord. Here, with the amplest of power, Count Rumford had a spacious stage on which to put into effect two of his strongest sentiments, both inherited from thrifty Yankee forebears—a passion for order and a horror of waste in any form. The reforms which he instituted are regarded as the earliest efforts at social efficiency, and as the forerunners of that state efficiency in every de- tail which is probably the most striking and admirable. characteristic of modern Germany.

We say like most men, because there are certain hard favored individuals with whom it is impossible to connect any thoughts of boyhood, who seem to have been born with their hands in their trous- ers pockets, a black cigar stuck at an angle in their mouths, and a well-defined working knowledge of the muitiplication table in their heads. But Jess, from all accounts, was a real boy—an easy going, care-free, hookéy-playing, scrapping, hard-fisted young animal, with unkempt hair and a broad, good- natured grin. He was always a husky youngster from the time he first crowed at the sight of a hearty meal until he attained his present proportions. Before he was 16 he was a great, sbock-haired hobble- dehoy, staggering with strength and as active as a colt; his body always seemed about to burst through the seams of his clothes, and his clothes had perpetually a drawn, startled look, as if they were in a continual state of wonderment that they stayed on his body at all. Willard was born in Emmett, Pottawotomie County, Kan., although, as with Homer, four or ive other towns claim him. His father died a few months before Jess was born. Jess divided his mother’s care with three other brothers. Whether this lack of parental supervision had any bear- ing on Jess’ later life it is hard to-say; certain it is, however, he developed roaming proclivities very early in life, and it was no unusual sight of a sunny morning to see Jess, his hands stuck in his pockets and his hat tilted to one side of his h/ ad, sauntering calmly down the road, going nowhere in particular, when all the rest of the world was going to work or to school. The Willard farm was near an Indian reservation, and among its denizens Willard spent most of his time. They taught him to ride like one of themselves, to shoot straight, to run fast (he was long the champion 100- yard runner of his neighborhood) and to swim like an amphibian. He must have assimilated a great deal of their craftiness, for he be- came as canny in a horse deal as David Harum. The upshot of his schooling by the Indians was that they themselves could not best him in a horse swap, and as a result they held him in greatest respect. From his association with the Indians he gained two things— health and agility— because of the open-air life he led with them. But, like all abnormally big men and boys, he was as good-natured as a big dog, and, as the wiseacres who shook their heads at his vagaries put it, was no one’s enemy but his own.” For all that, Jess was an exceptionally clean-liv- ing young fellow; he never drank and he never used tobacco; and the only thing people could ever say agaifst him was that if he got a chance he'd “do” you in a horse deal. And yet that could hardly be considered immoral; tor horse dealing is recognized as something outside the common law; and any man who swaps a horse, whether he be a Bishop or an out-aud- out dealer, who does not get the upper hand of the other party to the transaction, if it be possible, is considered by all concerned to be an egregious jackass. But whether as hookey player, freighter, cow puncher, horse breaker, ordinary “tambo” or prize fighter, Willard never took himself too seriously—nor anybody else. He was always on good terms with the world and everyon¢ in it, and when anyone attempted to show him the error of his ways, he laughed it off with great good nature and continued to do just as he had always done—which is to say, he took things easy. The usual salutation he received when a neighbor found him airing himself at the sunny angle of a barn was, “Well, you big, lazy devil, when are you going to work and do something?” and the reply the neighbor in- variably got was a bland smile from the big features of Shorty,“ and a noncommital shrug from his Herculean shoulders. As his later life proved, however, Jess had a re- markable fund of determination and ambi- tion when be wanted to use them; but in those days he kept them in a bag, and the bag was kept out of sight. When Jess was 11 years of age his mother married a neighboring farmer named E. L. Stalker. Stalker had two boys and one girl. To this family Mrs. Stalker brought her four hulking sons. Although it is common enough for stepbrothers to fight, Jess Willard was al- ways most considerate of his strength, and never tried to bully his weaker brethren. ‘‘He was long the cham- pion 100-yard runner of the neighborhood.’’ They did. But the peculiar part of these fights was that when Jess undertook to lick his two stepbrothers, his own brothers generally piled on against him, to even things up. It was about this time that big Jess developed an abnormal fondness for the open air. He detested books and he detested the dead-alive hours between sleeping and waking in the classroom; and when he got out of the house in the morning—and he was always the last— his mother would take a switch and follow him down the road to see that he went to school. With his hands in his pockets, and his feet kicking up the white dust of the road, he would shuffle off in a high dudgeon, ever and anon looking doggedly over his shoulder at his off the ground and set him before the manager of the Emmett team. : The Maple Hillite took one look at the gigantic first baseman and made a profuse apology. Willard then brought up a camp chair, set it in front of the hooting crowd of spectators, and threw the quaking manager into it. Now you sit there, he roared, and don’t move unt! I tell you to!“ 3 And through the whole game the manager occupied that conspicuous stool of penance, the laughing stoc* of the crowd. There was no fighting that day. All this Willard did without anger and without undue severity. The gentlemen from Maple Hill needed a les- son and Jess gave it to them, with the same delibera- tion and lack of hurry that he would go about any other piece of work. That will serve to illustrate his determination at that time. Some time later, when Jess was selling Texas land for a living, he arrived in Topeka, Kan., tired out, and without a nickel in his pockets. Here he noticed a blue- „At 16 he had his first real fight. determined parent. Between the Stalker house and the school was a belt of timber; and as sure as he reached it he disappeared; nor could his mother ever find him once he entered it. At the end of the day he would turn up again, a straw in his teeth, his face and hands caked with the dust of the day—or perhaps suspiciously clean from the swimming hole—and with the appetite of 10 men. At 13 Jess was as big as an ordinary man, and at 16 he was a giant: At 16 he had his first real fight. He became embroiled with a husky individual of his size, but six years older, and the argument, which began in words, ended in downright blows. The two went at each other like bulls and hammered each other until they staggered from exhaustion, until the rills of sweat made white streaks through the caked grime on their faces, until their breath came in gasps. Jess made no impression on his antagonist and his antagonist made none on him. This disgusted the youngster. When he could again stand he put on his coat and exclaimed: “I ain’t goin’ to fight all day!” And off he marched. The other belligerent offered no objections; he had all he could do to cool his puffed and bruised face. In his later teens young Willard played first base for the ball team at Emmett, Kan., and when the outcome of the game had got beyond the playing stage, Jess usually covered the retreat of his comrades, or led the advance; for very often a team refused to accept defeat and set out to accomplish with their fists what they could not do with their bats. At one game (from which Jess was absent) the team at Maple Hill, Kan., gave the Emmett team a beating in two senses of the word. When Jess heard of it he bade his teammates wait until Maple Hill played the return game at Emmett. What he in- tended to do he kept to himself.

Jess told him no, that he lived in Emmett. “Well,” said the Chief, “you can’t get a job here until vou live six months in this town,” And as Jess turned away in disgust, We're all filled up, anyway,” he added. In December, 1910, Jess was breaking horses for a living and “doing” the unwary when he could trade with them. He went to Oklahoma City to buy clothes, and by mere accident fell in with W. T. Yoder of the Olympic Athletic Club. Impressed by his size, Yoder took him to the club and introduced him to boxing. The big fel- low’s action pleased Yoder, and he engaged him at $15 a wee! Since then he has fought and starved and starved and fought, suffered ridicule and abuse—but stuck to his point like a man—and everybody knows what came of it. Among all the crop of “white hopes” he alone failed to wither, and at last he was matched at Havana with Jack Johnson, the cun- ning negro whose craft had kept him from sinking long after he had run upon the rocks of age.

Now Leads in Alcoholic Consumption I 1913 the tota “ ussian revenue was 3,415,000, 000 rubles, of which the vodka monopoly yielded 900, 000,000 rubles and the State railways—the next highest source of revenue—yielded but 813,000,000 rubles. : Vodka is approximately 40 per cent alcohol, and it has been in this fact that the curse of vodka has been found. The Russians consumed annually far more alcohol than ary other nation, before the vodka shops were abolished, although their drink bill in respect of beers and wines was moderate. Russia’s consumption annually was approximately 240,000,000 gallons of alco- hol, while the United States, whose alcohol consumption now leads the world, uses approximately 140,000,000 gallons. Russia’s consumption of malt liquors is about 230, 000,000 annual gallons, as against a con- sumption in the United States of about 2,000,000,000 gallons and a German con- sumption of about 1,700,000,000 gallons. The annual per capita consumption of vodka was about two gallons. The monopoly which the Government re- linquished was under the absolute control of the State on June 6, 1894, the monopoly being both as to production and gale. the most highly rectified, purified alcohol was permitted to be used. Vodka was sold in bottles only, and drinking was not sup- posed to be allowed in the vodka shops or on the streets. SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST, LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 2, 1915. OE ENG ERE A MBS tg f * ‘i .

BARBARA GUEN- TERT of 5707 Cote Brilliante avenue, has oc- eupied the same seat in the same theater for 1800 nights, while 9000 moving picture plays, measuring 9,750,000 feet in length and containing 150,000,000 photographs have been flashed before her eyes. For every night of her life, with the exception of two, for more than five years, Mrs. Guentert has occupied the same seat in the same moving picture theater, and watched the magic shadows depict the tragedies and comedies of the films. She has seen the screen hero win the girl of his choice in the face of in- surmountable difficulties; she has laugted at the antics of the slapstick comedian, and she has gazed in tense and pitying silence while score after score of bad men phans of “the papers” times without number. All the deeds of daring and high pur- pose, the trials and rewards of young love and romance that the fertile brains of the film author can patch together to make a moving picture play have delighted her eyes. She is familiar with all the changes that can be rung on the story of the little child that reunites the estranged parents; she has been in at the winning when thousands of noble young men, accused of crimes ranging anywhere from tapping the till to blowing up the Capitol at Wash ington, were fully vindicated and got their rights at Jast. She has thrilled and waited with the lone bandit for the stage coach to swing around the bend and come to a quivering halt at the menace of his six- shooter—the stage coach that so often contain the Eastern school- ma’am that reformed the bandit and tamed him with the ties of love and domestic happiness.

All ©oPytisht by Nera. possible versions of the burglar who came to/rob and remained to act the part of nurse to the sick baby have been flashed on the screen for her bene- fit. There is no possible ending to the story of the spendthrift nephew who goes to his uncle’s study to beg for money to pay his gambling debts and finds the old man dead, and is surprised by the faithful family servant with the smoking gun in his hand, that she does not know about. This champion’ moving picture fan became a devotee of the art through her son, “Buster,” 9 years old, who has always been too frail and delicate to take part in the ordinary activities of childhood. To compensate the boy for the less of association with other children the mother made herself the child’s companion, and devotes her life to the little invalid. When the boy arrived at school age, Mrs. Guentert was not williug to subject him to the rough and tumble life of a school boy, and she began to cast about for something that would help amuse, and at the same time educate him. One night the mother and child visited a moving picture show ia the neighborhood, and the problem was solved. The boy was delighted with the pictures. The magic shadows on the screen were like a peep into fairlyland, and that was the beginning of the daily visits that have extended over an almost — period for more than five years. Nothing is allowed to interfere with the nightly visit to the picture show. When the weather is bad the boy puts on his uniform, as he calls his long coat and cap, and mother and child set out for the hour that means so much to both of them, for the mother has learned to love the pictures as much as the child. These premier film fans always attend the same theater, and have occupied the same seats, which are religiously reserved for them by August Roettger, man- ager of the Fairy Theater, on Easton avenue. The boy likes the Western plays and revels in the wild rides of the cowboys and Indians, and the gun-play of the bad men of the screen. The mother prefers the dramas and heart-interest plays, and both of them are very fond of the scenies and educationals, as the travel pictures and scenes in for- eign lands are called in moving picturedom. Mrs. Guentert was asked to name her favorite film sectors and actresses. She assumed a thoughtful ex- SUNDAY csc opt aaa LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 2, 1914.

Eliot, President Emeritus of Har- vard University. He expresses this view with characteristic vigor in a book just pub- lished, “The Road Toward Peace“ (Hough- ton Mifflin Co.). “German efficiency has been an object of great admiration not only in this country,” he tells the American reader, “but in En- gland, France and Russia for twenty-five or thirty years. We have all admired it in the recent commercial and industrial develop- ment of Germany; not less remarkable be- cause it started about sixty years ago from a low level. We have admired it, too, in the efficiency of her military and naval de- velopment.

Of course, we like Charley Chaplin and we think Francis Bush- man is fine.” Among the women who ere seen on the screen she thinks Pearl White and Mary Pickford are among the best, but she re- fuses to say that any one actor or actress is the best of all. Mrs. Guentert’s husband does not care for the movies, but he agrees with his wife as to their educational value and is anxious for the boy and bis mother to attend the show each night. J am contented at home until evening comes,” 005 Mrs. Guentert, but then I cannot rest until time to go and see the pictures.” Then she told of her hearty laugh, with which every patron of the theater is fa- miliar, and expressed the fear that some night she would be put out of the show, But there is no danger of that, for her laugh is not the kind that disturbs other patrons. Mrs. Guentert is a little past middle age, and while she has to wear glasses when doing embroidery or other fine work, she has almost perfect eyesight, and declares that the thousands of moving pictures she has seen have not impaired her vision in the least, and she has never been conscious of eye strain or optical trouble. The viewing of so many films has made this woman a keen critic, and her opinions of moving pictures would be invaluable to the manufacturers of films if they could hear her criticisms. Mrs. Guentert says she considers the art of motion pictures one of the most potent factors of our daily life, and she is sure photoplays exert a wonderful influence for good on the young people of the city. She advises — to get their children inter- ested in the movies. — > ates P =o". wt x * 1 he ae x et. Foe gt Pe 3 222 ͤĩ] ]ù UV PT ae Te ORS e W a as PE a WRB — e Francis xX. Bushmaa. “The German way of procuring industrial and com- mercial-efficiency is to make each individual man in the first place a man well trained for the exact service he is to render and then to keep him under a severe dis- cipline which will result in his doing every time exactly what he has been trained to do.” Dr. Eliot cites seven nations conspicuously illustrat- ing today the worth of liberty in national development —Great Britain and her affiliated commonwealths, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United States; he also refers to the Scandina- vian peoples. The efficiency of all these peoples he de- clares to be based on a high degree of personal initiative and of political and in- dustrial freedom—not on the subjection of implicit obedience of the individ- ual, but on the energy and good will in work which result from indi- vidual freedom, ambition and initiative. “If this doctrine is eor - rect,” he continues, the remarkable increase of in- dustrial and commercial efficiency during the past 150 years should have proceeded from the freer nations and not from the nations governed auto- cratically. “Going back to the latter part of the eighteenth century we find that pro- pulsion by steam on land and water was first made com- mercially successful by Englishmen and Americans and that English and French chemists made the funda- mental discoveries in chemical theory. In the early part of the nineteenth century the development of the factory system with steam driven machinery was an English achievement and later an American. Coming on in the nineteenth century, it was Americans who developed the telegraph and telephone as industrial im- plements and thereby changed in a large measure the habits of industrial, commercial and financial life, and in many respects of domestic and family life also.“ Dr. Eliot proceeds to show a long list of inventions and discoveries in science and medicine, none of which was originated by the Germans. Among these he cites wireless telegraphy, electric lighting, the aeroplane, the cotton gin, anesthesia, asepsis, the rubber and oll in- dustries and many others in which Germany has been merely a foilower in the steps of other nations. “The plair fact,” he asserts, “is that the German sys- tem of education and government has not had freedom enough in it, and that the free peoples, among whom there exists a large amount of social and industrial mobility, are the peoples that have produced all the great science inveations of the last two centuries and this.” _ PAGE FIVE, hex „ ie: a is 2 3 2 tes aa 1 2 88 75 7 e ae sh Rs Set i ape ——

You will swear to this?“ “That is easy.” “How deep your honor goes I cannot tell, but every man holds something sacred, even if it be only his own self. You shall swear to me by what you hold most Sacred.“ 5 “You have me in a cleft stick. I take the oath, for 1 think the soldiers are already in the house.” “And for all the harm they can do they might as well be snoring in their beds,” was the answer. There was a sound in the darkness as though for a moment a rat gnawed behind the skirting. There is woodwork a foot high to step over,” she whispered. “Do not stumble. Now wait. Now step once more, a foot high again. So we escape the en- (my.“ Four times there was the momentary gnawing sound, the opening and shutting of two panels, and then she guided him across another dark space. “Tell me, Bergolet, was it a woman you swore by?” “Was it part of the bargain that I should confess?” She laughed softly, and warning him to be silent, she “quietly opened a door. They came out upon a gallery at the head of a stair- case. Above them was a painted ceiling dark with age, end suspended from it by a chain a great lamp hung: low, lighting the hall beneath them. In gallery and hall stood carved chairs and presses; the walls were painted. here a battle scene, there some civic ceremony; over the balustrade hung a richly woven piece of tap- . estry. and rugs fashioned in the East lent warmth to the stone floor of the hall. “The Burgomaster’s!” whispered Bergolet. “My uncle, and I would not betray him. That is why you have taken an oath.” A door opened sharply, there was a murmur of voices for a moment, then the door closed again, and heavy steps were in the hall below. “My cloak, my hat!” said a voice heavy with good living. Are vou all asleep, or is my service so easy that you grow lazy?” Quick feet. hurried to do his bidding. One man drought his hat, another his cloak, as he stood breath- ing audibly beneath the hanging lamp, a fat man as full of his own importance as a tun is of wine; his legs were. widely bowed under the weight,.and his head was . 90 insignificant .a part of him that one marvelled there was brain enough to insure ‘sufficient ability to nurture so large a carcass. “My stick! Dolts, where’s my stick? Would you have me walk the street without it? It is true that, thanks to me, Metzburg is a paradise to what it was, but even now the streets are none too safe at night.“ “It was à fortunate day for the city when you be- came Burgomaster,” said the sycophant who handed him his stick, but his tongue was in his cheek the moment his master’s back was turned. 7 “There are visitors yonder,” said the Burgomaster, pausing at the open door and nodding in the direction of the room he had left. “Others may come. They will wait for me, for my advice upon an important mat- ter. Remember whose servants you are and attend them fittingly.” With a flourish of his stick the Burgomaster departed, and Bergolet smiled as he remembered how this same fat mass of importance groveled whenever duty brought him into the presence of the Duchess. “IT congratulate you, Fraulein, that I can discover no likeness between you and your uncle.” he whispered to the woman beside him. “The years may mend that, and if you mean a com- pliment this is no time for it. Come quickly and tread iightly. Chance may yet do us an ill turn.” She led him along the gallery, down one narrow Right of steps and up another, and by narrow passages which had an echo of emptiness in them, then through a room to an inner closet. “Kneel here,” she said, pulling him down by the wall. “There is a little shutter—I will open it directly. You will see nothing, but you will hear. Just below us is an inner room of a tavern in the Holtstrasse—the tavern of the Rising Sun. It has known the hatching of many a plot in Metzburg, I am told; how often there have been listeners here I cannot say.” The drawing back of the shutter revealed a glimmer of light, but nothing more.

ANDRA OF PODINA is known all over Europe as “the turbulent Duchess,” because of her “devil's own temper.” Her country is coveted by the Elector of Brandenburg, who is building up his duchy: into the Kingdom of Prussia. Her court for has did. and she chooses as his successor the. younger of a pair of vagabonds.. who. recommends. himself. by his gal- lantry and wit. He takes the name of Bergolet. He learns that the marriage of the Duchess has. become an affair of statecraft, and that d dozen Princes are suitors for her hand. Of these the favorite. seems to be her cousin, Karl, and.the least favored is the . “black sheep,” Maurice of Bavaria. A mysterious woman, in the guise of a fortune teller, holds an interview with Bergolet, in the midst of whiah soldiers arrive to ar- rest him on Prince Karl's order. They escape through a secret passage into the Burgomaster’s house. most matters, to the death if need be, but this is an especial affair, naught to do with law-breaking. For once we are in the employ of the state.” A laugh and an oath or two answered this state- ment. “One or two of you will have it that we're too few for the business. Long Joachim there thinks so.” “Caution, Captain, just that.” “There’s no risk. We attack men who are there to be beaten, paid to be beaten just as we are paid to win. When I bargained to do the business for a certain sum, I thought of choosing only six to help me—the fewer in it the fewer to share. I was told six would look too much like trickery, so we are a dozen.” - “Supposing we are tricked?” queried Joachim. “There’s plenty will lie when they've got the law on their side.” “There would be big men in Metzburg to pay for any trickery,” answered the Captain, “very big men, com- rades. We're upon their business, and by paying us they put themselves in our hands.” “Maybe, but we're dealing with a woman,” Joachim returned, “and one who's not like other women. The devil’s in her by all I’ve heard,-and that’s the kind men get fools over. A man may be all for her destruction until the moment comes, then she smiles on him, or gives him a honeyed word, and he’ll shed his last. drop of blood in her defense. That's what we've got to allow for.” “Show me the money and Venus might smile till she was sick without my seeing her,” said the Captain. “Not long since there was a woman stopped in the forest yonder,’ Joachim went on. “Some of you will have heard of it and know the two who stopped her. They are not the most gentle to deal with, and their luck had been of the devil’s planning for days past; they hadn’t a coin between them, and their stomachs were as empty as this flagon. What happened? Be- cause she was beautiful and smiled upon them they let her pass with all her gear, and stood thanking her, caps in hand, when she threw them.a crown.” “A good tale enough whether it’s true or not,“ said the Captain, “but there’s no robbing in our business. Here’s the pith of it. Her Grace goes hunting. We care not who rules in Metzburg, nor who he may be who shall call the Duchess wife, but there are powerful men here who see great importance in such matters. They plan to bring -the Duchess to reason. It is a simple matter.“ / “To bring.a woman to reason?” asked one. | “In this way, yes. She, is captured in the forest and held prisoner. There she must-come to terms. with the men who are powerful in Metzburg. She will have to rule as they wish, marry as they dictate, or some one else will be found to rule over Podina.“ ' “I thought Prince Karl was to hunt with her,” said one man. “He does. We capture him, too.” “Rumor has it that he is to marry the Duchess,” said Joachim. “That’s no affair of ours,” the Captain returned. “He is.to be captured; the rest of the company will run after a show of fighting.” “I’ve no liking for Karl,’ said Joachim, but there is no denying he handles a good sword.” “In this business there is not likely to be much heart behind it,” was the reply. „For all that he may give us trouble when it comes to. defending the Duchess,” Joachim persisted. “And who are these great men? I like to know my paymas- ters.” There was a murmer of assent. “Why, what ails you, Long Joachim?” cried the leader angrily. “Is your courage suffering from a touch of fever? When there’s good money to be had for the picking up, would you have us cackling of fears like a parcel of scared women?” An angry oath and the shuffle of impatient feet seemed to pressage a quarrel, when there fell a sudden silence. A door opened and closed, and a fat voice gave a greeting. eee “Your uncle,” whispered Bergolet. “Your oath,” the woman returned. “A chair for the Burgomaster,“ said the Captain. “Here’s one of the big men I spoke of, Long Joachim.” „And a flagon of wine for the Burgomastef though it be but tavern stuff,” said another. It was apparent that a chair received the weight of the newcomer. | “Aye, Tm more likely to trust a man after I’ve drunk with him,” said Joachim. “I’ve known worse wine than this,” said the Burgo- master, “but I have better guarantee for your trust than any tavern eellar can give Listen to the music in this bag—good money, which you may come by far easier than most men earn it. Here is half the sum agreed upon, the other I hold until the work is finished. That was the bargain, I hink!“ “It was. A fair bargain,” came the answer ia chorus eee. Sere 29 7 PTT f 8 R * * in 5 r fa 2 att antes ä err D r e “Tell me the plan then, so that I may be assured you understand before I hand over the money.” “I take it that the men who will be of the hunt to- morrow will only make a pretence of fighting,” said the Captain. . : “They have been carefully chocen and well paid;” the PBurgomaster answered. a f “And the hunt will be towards Festenhausen?“ “That is so,“ said the Brr-omaster. “Prince Kar! has his house at Festenhauscn, and it is arranged that the Duchess shall spend the -night there” “The rest is easy, and the Duchess will spend the night elsewhere,” said the Captain. “Towards Festen- hausen there is a ravine, deep and well-wooded, which has a good name with huntsmen. A blank day may finish there with excellent sport. A green track dips into the ravine at a spot which the woodmen call ‘Gal- lows Oak’--maybe the law hanged one of us there, Burgomaster, at some time. A man is ill fruit for any tree, but the name has stuck. Along that dip there's hiding room for an army, and that’s where we shall be tomorrow, a dozen of us, but with shouting enough for three score.” “It seems a good plan.” “It cannot fail,” was the answer. “There'll be a pretty struggle, then our enemies flee, leaving the Duchess and Prince Karl in our hands. We shall find a safe place for them and bring you word.” “And receive the other half of the reward,” said the Burgomaster. “I shall not forget it,” laughed the Captain. “Would a thrust in earnest matter in Prince Karl's case?” asked Joachim. Matter!“ cried the Burgomaster. “Have I not made it clear that, this is a ruse to get the Duchess and the Priace into our hands? It is an affair of State. There must be no thrusts in earnest, a scratch or so amongst yourselves to give a look of truth to the fight if you will, but nothing more.” “And afterwards, Burgomaster?“ “Another bag of gold like this,” was the answer, “and your work will be ended: The afterwards is for wiser heads than yours, for mine and for those with me in this matter. If we think a woman’s whims dangerous to the State, if we choose to dictate how she should rule, and whom she shall marry, that is not for you to know. There is a bargain between us, a beginning and an end to it.” “What is it to us what happens afterwards?” said one man. “Much, if it should presently be thought wise to silence us lest we should talk,” Joachim returned. “You have my word that with the completion of the bargain it will be forgotten.” “And those who are with you, Burgomaster? know nothing of them.” “This is a strange fellow to have brought into the enterprise, .Captain,” said the Burgomaster. “It’s Long Joachim’s way to ask questions,” was the answer. “When his time comes he’ll argue with death.“ J speak for all who are with me in this business, said the Burgomaster. “Nothing shall be remembered against any one of you.” ö That's a seal to the bargain,” said one contentedly. “Ill give it a further seal. If chance should bring one of you to trouble presently, I’ll so read the law as to find some-circumstance which shall let him go free. . & rattle of flagons and noisy approval greeted this promise. “It grows late,” said the Burgomaster, “and the hunting party starts early. You have passes which shall. see you through the gates tonight. There is the money, I have another bag of the same weight ready when you have earned it. Good night; and good for- tune.” Still Bergolet listened, but there was nothing but the noise’ of departure and the paying of the score. The We woman closed the shutter. “Come. It is time you were out of the house,” she said. “Your uncle tells little.” “Enough surely. The hunt must not reach that ravine. Bergolet. You must see to that, and there are not many hours before the dawn.” “The Burgomaster has visitors and expects others. Shall we see who these visitors may be?” “For what purpose? Your oath covers all those you may see in this house tonight.” “It is a pity. Your uncle is a great villain, but no doubt he will come to a bad end without any assistance. It puzzles me how you come to be connected with such a person.” “This is the time to act, Master Jester, not to won- der,” she said as she led him back along the passages, but not by the way they had come. “I care not what story you tell. The result must be sure, though you may not betray me or my uncle. I have an end to serve which does not concern you, and you are the only man in Metzburg who can help the Duchess tonight. We work together, each for our own end. Here is a door into a side street. Good night. Would you kiss the fortune teller as once you kissed her when she was a merchant’s daughter in Lorraine?“ He hesitated, then drew back. “It was light then and I could see into your eyes. I never loved a kiss in the dark.” “You may claim it some high noon if you will, Mas- ae Fool,” and opening the door she gently pushed him ou Once in the street, with the door locked behind him Bergolet's first thought was to marvel that he had not accepted the proffered kiss. Never had he seemed 80 much a stranger to himself. A kiss was pleasant and meant little; a score of pretty lips had met his willingly enough, if with a show of resistance for form's sake, but tonight—tonight there was more in a kiss than he had imagined. He was at enmity with the man whom the fortune teller had seen in the crystal, a mean and contemptible fellow whose idea of women was an SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH— MAY 2, 1915.

They were all alike to him, city bred or wench of the country, merchant’s daughter or no, there had come a break. Clouds had gathered in the crystal, but dimly seen there had been a Princess. What was she to the man who kissed so lightly and so easily went his way? “Enough to make him refuse a kiss offered by a ‘pretty woman,” Bergolet “murmured, “a kiss in the dark, too, when nobody could be a whit the wiser.” He had fot moved from the door, now he looked to right and left, wondering which way to take. A breeze ruffled the quiet of the night, and stars hung low in a sky which had a texture like velvet. He went to the right, still thinking of the man in the crystal. “There are a thousand ways of sinning,” he said to himself, “and I’m no worthy judge. The Burgomaster is not the only villain in the city. The moon would cast the shadow of one at my feet, only it is a crescent moon with little light in it, amd moreover has set.” Metzburg was asleep. Tread as lightly as he would, his steps seemed to break the silence almost roughly. He went slowly, feeling his way, for in this narrow street it was dark. Besides, he had not determined how to act. He could not go to the Duchess tonight, tomorrow it might be too late. She might laugh at him for a fool. Perhaps already he had done some- thing to make her angry, and it was in search of him that the soldiers had come to the saddler’s. He stood for a moment to listen, fully alive now to his danger. He was not sure of his direction. The street was full of shadows and dark corners, villainy might be as wake- ful here as in the Burgomaster’s house, or in that inner room of the Rising Sun. With a sudden decision he quickened his pace. He could not see the Duchess to- night, he would tell the plot to Prince Karl. Even if Her Grace would not abandon the hunt, and laughed - at danger as was her eustom, the Prince would see to it that the men in the hunting party were changed for others who could be relied on. The ravine towards Festenhausen would be avoided, or the robbers lying in wait there would meet with a reception they did not bargain for. If the Duchess had ordered his arrest and he were put under lock and key, it would not mat- ter so long as she was warned in time. Bergolet had reached the end of the street and seen against the night sky a familiar spire which showed him in which direction he must go, when an unsteady figure reeled towards him from a dark doorway. He was a soldier, but fortunately was hopelessly drunk. “A woman, and alone,” he gurgled as he lurched for- wards. “I’m in luck.” Content that the ample cloak sheuld deceive the man, Bergolet had stepped aside as a preliminary to seeking safety in flight, when the drunkard fe? forward and caught his arm in a firm grip to steady himself. “If you will come abroad in the night, my pretty, there's toll to be paid.” The jester drew back his arm to strike, but it was caught behind him. The drunkard laughed and his grip tightened as Bergolet fiercely struggled to free himbelf. | SUNDAY MAGAZINE--ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH- - MAY . 1915. “A toll to pay, my pretty fool.” There was a snigger of laughter with the words. For an instant Bergolet wrenched himself frec, then all sound, sight and feeling ceased, and he was suddenly pitched forward into space and utter blackness. There was a sense of falling, then came oblivion. For a few moments the street-echoed with the sound of footsteps, a door closed heavily, then there was silence again. CHAPTER VI. The Marquis de Vannes. S Captain of the Guard Prince Karl had quar- ters in the castle. On leaving the Duchess’ garden that night, his mind more occupied with the jester who had mocked at him than with the woman whose hand he had kissed, the sound of quickly following footsteps made him stop. An in- triguer himself, none too particular in his methods, he put no great faith in his fellows, no matter how great their professions of friendship, and he heard something stealthy in the footsteps behind him. “Monsieur le Marquis!” he exclaimed as the French- man joined him. “What remains of me,” was the answer. “For my sins I have been forced tb spend a great part of the evening in Baron Kevenfelt’s company. It is not a lively way of passing the time. I pray you have com- passion on me and let me enjoy your society for a little while.” “I regret, but my day's work is not yet over, I “Your Highness, I will be frank with you. I have something to say which concerns you rather closely. Indeed, it is too private a matter to whisper until I am ce n of security.” For 2 moment Kar! hesitated, but such a statement was not to be ignored. In the maze wherein he walked he could not afford to turn away from any man who had a secret to impart. “It must perforce be a short interview, Marquis, but believe me I sympathize with you. I always find the Baron most weary company.” ~ “And after Paris and Versailles!” exclaimed De Vannes. “Your Duchess is charming, but—will you think me lacking in all gallantry if I say I am an exile and long for home?” “Will your mission take so long to accomplish that your exile need trouble you?” asked the Princa “I cannot tell. I shall know better after we have talked a little; but not here, Prince. I do assure you it is not safe.” The Marquis did not appear to feel himself secure until they were within four walls and the door closed. “You spoke of my mission, Prince. You have guessed my reason for being in Metzburg?” “IT guessed, but it was beside the mark. I thought, Monsieur, you aspired to the hand of my cousin.” “Indeed, Prince, your thought did me too much hom or. I came on business from my master King Louis.” “I heard the truth only tonight from the Duchess,” Karl said with a smile. ” 4 ; . 5 c a S EE * * * ieee e IN Sd A i a PPP 1 8 .

Doubtless he has a strong following 3 4 | in the State, and therefore Your Highness is almost compelled to look for support to many persons per- sonally distasteful to you, but necessary to you under the circumstances. It is an everyday situation in di- plomacy.” “At present, Marquis, you have given me no new information.” “Further, there is your cousin herself,” De Vannes went on. “Love will hardly make her forget that she is ruler in Podina. A weak man would inevitably be of small importance as her consort, and -even for a strong man, like Your Highness, the position must have difficulties.” “I fully appreciate them,” Karl answered. “I do not suggest your inability to deal with the situation, but for a moment let me emphasize the diff- culcies. The Duchess, just because she is the Duchess, must often be in opposition to your wishes, and there will be powerful support behind her wholly bent on frustrating you. The support behind you must be large- ly composed by those who look to you for favors; and if you are not able to give those favors their loyalty is likely to become lukewarm.” “I appreciate all these difficulties, Marquis, and I have taken some precaution against them.” “Indeed, Your Highness, I am sure of that. I had not had the honor of your acquaintance many hours before I knew what manner of man Podina had to deal with. It is your strength and ambition which make you so many enemies. One does not trouble to hate a weak man, we. give him contemptuous pity. Still, the strongest man is only secure when he has starnch friends he can depend on, or one friend powerful enough to make him independent of sycophants and time servers. Louis of France would be that friend. This is my true mission to Podina.” De Vannes leaned forward, sinking ‘his voice as though such a secret could only be whispered even within four walls and the door fast shut. “Is it necessary to speak in detail of the advantages of such a friendship? There would be a force behind you which nothing in Podina could or dare attempt to Stand against; and I think a strong man might rule even the Duchess bis wife.“ “And the price to be „ paid for this friendship, Mon- De Vannes laughed. “I love a man who comes to the Prince, do you love the Elector of “I hate him.” “So does Louis of France, the more perhaps because there was once friendship between them. Hatred is always bitterest then. He is the one man in Europe at this moment who may thwart my master. He is has- tening south to hurl his force against Turenne in Al- sace. On his way he visits Podina. Without the Elector in its midst his army will hardly take the field. He might be, delayed in Metzburg. He might be pre vailed upon to go no further. Some accident might hap pen which would compel him to rezurn to Berlin. With your hatred to help him, and the fact that he must have many enemies in this city, it should not be diffi- cult to contrive some accident.” “That is King Louis’ price,” said Karl. “Can such a bagatelle be considered a price?“ the Marquis returned. “On his side, my master will prom- ise that the State of Podina shall ever remain separate and free no matter what other territory it may please my master to bring under the French crown.” “You tempt me, Monsieur le Marquis. I see now why your exile from Paris and Versailles cannot be of such a short duration as I imagined. I would in my turn be frank with you. My precautions, for the future are more far reaching than you suspect, and the posi- tion of the Duchess is not so strong perhaps as you imagine. Still, I hate the Electog.and an accident would please me greatly. We must talk again. For the mo- ment I will say no more than this; by some means I shall endeavor to win the friendship of Louis of France.” The Prince rose to end the conversation, and as the Marquis took leave of him at the door a trooper came to a halt and waited. It was evident that he had come in haste, but Karl did not speak to him unti! De Vannes was out of hearing. “What is it?” : “Your Highness, Capt. Weber has sent me for your instructions. A fellow who haunts the market—drunken Peter they call him—has come with a tale that the jester Bergolet has gone in secret to a saddler's shop in the market tonight. Peter says he had your orders to report anything of this kind.” “And Capt. Weber did not believe him,” laughed Karl. “For once drunken Peter must be on the edge of sobriety for he has told the truth. -Get back quickly and bid Capt. Weber go to the saddler’s and arrest Bergolet in the Duchess’ name Take him, without violence, if possible, but take him. De you understand?” The man saluted and disappeared as hastily as he had come. point so directly. Brandenburg?” (Continued on Page 14.)

— lunch counter. He caught a fleeting glance from the bartender’s eye, and stood still, trying to look like a business man who had just dined at the Menger and was waiting for a friend who had promised to pick him up in his motor ear. Curiy's histrionic powers were equal to the impres- sion; but his makeup was wanting. The bartender rounded the bar in a casual way, look- ing up at the ceiling as though he was pondering some intricate problem of kalsomining, and then fell upon Curley so suddenly that the roadster had no excuses ready. Irresistibly, but so composedly that it seemed almost absentmindedness on his part, the dispenser of drinks pushed Curly to the swinging doors and kicked bim out, with a nonchalance that almost amounted to sadness. That was the way of the Southwest. Curly arose from the gutter leisurely. He felt no anger or resentment toward his ejector. Fifteen years of tramphood spent out of the 21 years of his life had hardened the fibers of his spirit. The slings and ar- rows of outrageous fortune fell blunted from the buckle of his armored pride. With especial resignation did he suffer contumely and injury at the hands of bartenders. Naturally, they were his enemies; and unnaturally they were often his friends. He had to take his chances with them. But he had not yet learned to estimate these cool, languid, Southwestern knights of the bungstarter, who had the manners of an Earl of Pawtucket, and who, when they disap- proved of your presence, moved you with the silence and dispatch of a chess auto- maton advancing a pawn. Curly stood for a few moments in the narrow, mesquit-paved street. San An- tonio puzzled and disturbed him. Three days he had been a non-paying guest of the town, having dropped off there from a box car of an I. and G. N. freight because Greaser Johnny had told him in Des Moines that the Alamo City was manna fallen, gathered, cooked and served free with cream and sugar. Curly has found the tip partly a good one. There was hospitality in plenty of a careless, liberal, irregular sort. But the town itself was a weight upon his spirits after his experience with the rushing businesslike systematized cities of the North and Kast. Here he was often flung a dollar, but too frequently a good- natured. kick would follow it. Once a band of hilarious cowboys had roped him on Military Plaza and dragged him across the Hack soil until no respectable ragbag would have stood sponsor for his clothes. The winding, doubling streets, leading nowhere, bewildered him. And then there was a litile river. crooked as a pot hook, that crawled. through the middle of the town, crossed by a hundred little bridges so nearly alike that they got on Curly's nerves. And the last bartender wore a No. 9 shoe. The saloon stood on a corner. The tour was 8 o'clock. Homefarers and outgoers jostied Curly on the narrow stone sidewalk. Between the buildings to his left he looked down a cleft that proc'aimed itself an- other thoroughfare. ‘The alley was dark except for one patch of light. Where there was light there were sure to be human beings. Where there were human beings after nightfall in San Antonio there might be food, and there was sure to be drink. So Curly headed for the light. The illumination came from Schwegel’s cafe. On the sidewalk in front of it Curly picked up an oid en- velope. It might have contained a check for a million. It was empty; but the wanderer read ihe aidress: “Mr. Otto Schwegel,’ and the name of the town and State. The postmark was Detroit. Curly entered the saloon. And now in the light it could be perceived that he hore the stamp of many years of vagabondage. He had none of the tidiness of the calculating and shrewd professional tramp. His wardrobe represented the cast-off specimens of half a dozen fashions and eras. Two factories had combined their efforts in providing shoes for his feet. As you gazed at him there passed through your mind vague impressions of mummies, wax figures, Russian exiles and men lost on desert islands. His face was covered almost to his eyes with a curly brown beard that he kept trimmed short with a pocket knife, and that had furnished him with his nom de rome. Light blue eyes, full ot sullenness, fear, cunning, impudence and fawn- ing, witnessed the stress that had been laid upon his soul. The saloon was small, and in its atmosphere the odors of meat and drink struggled for the ascendency. The pig and the cabbage wrestled with hydrogen and cxy- gen. Behind the bar Schwegel labered with an as- sistant whose epidermal pores showed no signs of be- ing obstructed. Hot wienerwarst and sauerkraut were being served to purchasers of beer. Curly shuffled to the end of the bar, coughed hollowly, and told Schwegel that he was a Detroit cabinet maker out of a job. It followed as the night the day that he got his schooner and lunch. “Was you acquainted maybe mit Heinrich Strauss in Detroit?” asked Schwegel. “Did I know Heinrich’ Strauss?” repeated Curly af- fectionately. “Why, say, bo, I wish I had a dollar for every game of penuchle me and Heinie has played on Sunday afternoons.” More beer and a second plate of steaming food were tet before the diplomat. And then Curly, knowing to u fluid drachm how far a “con” game would go, shuf- And now he began to perceive the inconveniences of this stony Southern town. There was none of the “W ho-ee!” URLY, the tramp, sidled toward the ne) B y O 0 H E N R a outdoor gaiety and brilliancy and music that provided distraction even to the poorest in the cities of the North. Here, even so early, the gloomy, rock-walled houses were closed and barred against the murky dampness of the night. The streets were mere fissures through which flowed gray wreaths of river mist. As he walked he heard laughter and the chink of coin and chips behind darkened windows, and music coming from every chink of wood and stone. But the diver- sions were selfish; the day of popular pastimes had not yet come to San Antonio. But at length Curly, as he strayed, turned the sharp angle of another lost street and came upon a rollicking band of stockmen from the outlying ranches celebrat- ing in the open in front of an ancien. wooden hotel. One great roisterer from the sheep country who had just instigated a movement toward the bar, swept Curly in like a stray goat with the rest of his flock. The yelled Long Tom Collins. “Ranse, are you packing around a bunch of corpuses?” princes of kine and wool hailed him as a new zoological discovery, and uproariously strove to preserve him in the diluted alcohol of their compliments and regards. An hour afterward Curly staggered from the hotel bar room dismissed by his fickle friends, whose in- terest in him had subsided as quickly as it had risen. Full—stoked with alcoholic fuel and cargoed with food, the only question remaining to disturb him was that of shelter and bed. A drizzling, cold Texas rain had begun to fall—an endless, lazy, unintermittent downfall that lowered the spirits of men and raised a reluctant steam from the hot stones of the streets and houses. Thus comes the ‘“norther,” dousing gentle spring and amiable autumn with the chilling saiutes and adieus of coming and de- parting winter. Curly followed his nose down the first tortuous street into which his irresponsible feet conducted him. At the lower end of it, on the bank of the serpentine stream, he perceived an open gate in a cemented rock wall. Inside he saw camp fires and a row of low wooden sbeds built against three sides of the enclosing wall. He ertered the enclosure. Under the sheds many horses were champing at their oats and corn. Many wagons and buckboards stood about with their teams’ harbess thrown carelessly upon the shafts and double- trees. Curly recognized the place as a wagon. yard, such as is provided by merchants for their out-of-town friends and customers. No one was in sight. No doubt the drivers of those wagons were scattered about the town “seeing the elephant and hearing the owi.” In their haste to become pairons of the town’s dispen- saries of mirth and good cheer the last ones to depart must have left the great wooden gate swinging open. Curly had satisfied the hunger of an anaconda and the thirst of a camel, so he was neither in the mood nor the condition of an explorer. He zigzagged his way to the first wagon that his eyesight distinguished in the semidarkness under the shed. It was a two horse wagon with a top of white canvas. The wagon was half filled with Joose piles of wool sacks, two or three great bundles of gray blankets and a number of bales and boxes. A reasoning eye would have esti- mated the lead at once as ranch supplies, bound on the morrow for some outlying hacienda. But to the drowsy intelligence of Curly they represented only warmth and softness and protection against the cold humidity of the night. After several unlucky efforts, at last he conquered gravity so far as to climb over a wheel and pitch forward upon the best and warmest bed he had fallen upon in many a day. Then he be- came instinctively a burrowing animal, and dug his way like a prairie dog down among the sacks and blankets, hiding himself from the cold air as enug and safe as a bear in his den. For three nights sleep had visited Curly only in broken and shivering doses. So now, when Morpheus condescended to pay him a call, Curly got such a strangle hold on the mythological old gentleman that it was a wonder that anyone else in the whole world got a wink of sleep that night. * — ’ ; ie 3 b. ns 2 Th 12 =e mags, : „ s : 3 N ‘Te * 8 ie x er *. ; ; me oem pens eR n * N er i 5 „ — N rat * 7 3 8 8 5 1 ＋ Aer. 3 “ 11 ow 5 K 4 4 n 7 72 Sexe 7 wr nt hg Ae 5" — a 8 uD — * 2 25 baie | , 3 Nae 7 N . 5 rare 7 1 N a 2 oon 9 R 5 rice e 4 he 80 o = ee A ag at ee r ‘3 3 2 . * . 8 . . 1 js : pops 88 7 a 8 5 sag . 8 ‘ .

Their ponies cropped grass near by, tied in the Texas fashion —which is not tied at all. Their bridle reins had been dropped to the earth, which is a more ef- fectual way of securing them (such is the power of habit and imagination) than you could devise out of a half-inch rope and a live oak tree. These guardians of the cow lounged about, each with a brown cigarette paper in his hand, and gently but unceasingly cursed Sam Revell, the storekeeper. Sam stood in the door, snapping the red elastic bands on his pink madras shirt sleeves and looking down affec- tionately at the only pair of tan shoes within a 40-mile radius. His offense had been serious, and he was di- vided between humble apology and admiration for the beauty of his raiment. He had allowed the ranch stocx of “smoking” to become exhausted. “I thought sure there was another case of it under the counter, boys,” he explained. “But it happened to be catterdges.” “You've sure got a case of happen- edicitis,” said Poky Rodgers, fence rider of the Largo Verde potrero. “Somebody ought to give you a knock on the head with a butt end of a quirt. I've rode in nine miles for some tobacco: and it don't appear natural and seemly that you ought to be allowed to live.” “The boys was smokin’ cut plug and dried mesquit leaves mixed when I left,” sighed Mustang Taylor, horse wrangler of the Three Elm camp. “They'll be lookin’ for me back by 9. _They’ll be settin’ up, with their papers ready to roll a whiff of the real thing before bedtime. And I’ve got to tell ‘em that this pink-eyed, sheep-headed, sulfur-hoofed shortwaisted son of a calico bronco, Saw Revell, hasn’t got no tobacco on hand.” Gregorio Falcon, Mexican vaquero and best thrower of the rope on the Cibolo, pushed his heavy, silver-em- broidered straw sombrero back upon his thicket of jet-black curls and scraped the bottoms of his pockets for a few crumbs of the precious weed. Ah, Don Samuel,” he said reproach- fully, but with his touch of Castilian manners, “escuse me. Dthey say dthe jackrabbeet and dthe sheep have dthe most leetle sesos—how you call dthem —brain-es? Ah, don’ believe dthat, Don Samuel—escuse me. Ah dthink people Wat don't keep esmokin’ tobacco, dthey — bot you weel escuse me, Don Samuel.” Now what's the use of che. in' the rag, boys?” said the untroubled Sam, stooping over to rub the toes of his shoes with a red-and-yellow handker- chief. “Ranse took the order for some more smokin’ to San Antonio with him Tuesday. Pancho rode Ranse’s hoss back yesterday; and Ranse is goin’ to drive the wagon back himself. There wa’n’t much of a load— just some woolsacks and blankets and nails and canned peaches and a few things we was out of. 1 look for Ranse to roll in today sure. He’s an early starter and a hell-to-split driver, and he ought to be here not far from sundown.” “What plugs is he drivin’?” asked Mustang Taylor, with a smack of hope in his tones. “The buckboard grays,” said Sam. “I'll wait a spell, then,” said the wrangler. “Them plugs eat up a trail like a roadrunner swallowin’ a whip snake. And you may bust me open a can of green- gage plums, Sam, while I’m waitin’ for some- thin’ better.“ “Open me some yellow clings,” ordered Poky Rodgers. 'n wait, too.” The tobaccoless punchers arranged themselves com- fortably on the steps of the store, Inside Sam chopped open with a hatchet the tops of the cans of fruit. The cow punchers never failed to treat themselves to a change from the beans and bacon of camp whenever they rode in to the store. The store, a big, white, wooden building like a barn, stood 50 yards from the ranch house. Beyond it were tie horse corrals; and still farther the wool sheds and the brush-topped shearing pens—for the Rancho Cibolo raised both cattle and sheep. Behind the store, at a little distance, were the grass-thatched jacals of the Mexicans who bestowed their allegiance upon the Cibolo. The ranch house was composed of four large rooms with plastered adobe walls, and a two-room wooden ell. A 20-feet-wide “gallery” circumvented the struc- ture. It was set in a grove of immense live oaks and water elms near a lake—a long, not very wide and tremendously deep lake in which, at nightfall, great gars leaped to the surface and plunged with the noise of hippopotamuses frolicking at their bath. From the trees hung garlands and massive pendants of the mel- ancholy gray moss of the South. Indeed, the Cibolo ranch house seemed more of the South than of the West. It looked as if old “Kiowa” Truesdell might have brought it with him from the lowlands of Mississippi when he came to Texas with his rifle in the hollow of his arm in 1855. But, though he did not bring the family mansion, Truesdale did bring something in the way of a family inheritance that was more lasting than brick or stone. He brought one end of the TruesdaleCurtis family feud. And when a Curtis bought the Rancho de los Olmos, 16 miles from Cibolo, there were lively times on the pear flats and in the chaparral thickets of the Southwest. In those days Truesdell cleanéd the brush of many a wolf and tiger cat and Mexican lion, and one or two Curtises fell heirs to notches on his rifle- stock. Also he buried a brother with a Curtis bullet in him on the bank of the lake at Cibolo. And then the Kiowa Indians made their last raid upon the ranches between the Frio and, the Rio Grande, and SUNDA! MAGAZINE-.-ST.

Then came prosperity in the form of waxing herds and broadening lands, And then old age and bitterness, when he sat, with his great mane of hair as white as the Spanish dagger blossoms and his fierce, pale- blue eyes on the shaded gallery at Cibolo, growling like the pumas that he had slain. He snapped his fin- gers at old age; the bitter taste to life did not come from that, The cup that stuck at his lips was that his only son Ransom wanted to marry a Curtis, the last youthful survivor of the other end of the feud. III. at the store were the rattling of the tin spoons and the gurg- ling intake of the juicy OR a while the only F sounds to be heard ‘ fruits by the cow punch- ers, the stamping of the grazing ponies and the singing of a doleful song by Sam as he contentedly brushed his stiff auburn hair for the twentieth time that day before a erinkly mirror. From the door of the store could be seen the irregular, sloping stretch of prairie to the south with its reaches of light green, billowy mesquit - flats in the lower places, and tts rises crowned with nearly black masses of short chaparral. Through the mesquit flat wound the ranch road that, five miles away, flowed into the old Government trail to San Antonio. The sun was so low that the gent- lest elevation cast its gray shadow miles into the green-gold sea of sun- shine. That evening ears were quicker than eyes. The Mexican held up a tawny finger to still the scraping of tin against tin. “One wageen,” said he, “cross dthe Arroyo Hon- do. Ah hear dthe wheel. Verree rockee place, dthe Hondo.” “You've got good ears, Gregorio,” said Mustang Taylor. “I never heard nothin’ but the song bird in the bush and the zephyr skallyhootin’ across the peaceful dell.” 7 In 10 minutes Talyor remarked: “I see the dust of a wagon risin’ right above the fur end of the flat.” “You have verree good eyes, senor,” said Gregorio, smiling. Two miles away they saw a faint cloud dimming the green ripples of the mesquits. In 20 minutes they heard the clatter of the horses’ hoofs; in five minutes more the gray plugs dashed out of the thicket, wickering for oats and drawing the light wagon behind them like a toy. a aa the jacals came a cry of: “El Amo! El Amo!” Four Mexican youths raced to unharness the grays. The cow punchers gave a yell of greeting and delight. Ranse Truesdell, driving, threw the reins to the ground and laughed. : „It's under the wagon sheet, boys,” he said. “I know what you're waiting for. If Sam lets it run out again we'll use them yellow shoes of his for a target. There's two cases. Pull ’em out and light up. I know you all want a smoke.” After’ striking dry country Ranse had removed the wagon sheet from the bows and thrown it over the goods in the wagon. Six pairs of hasty hands dragged it off and grabbled beneath the sacks and blankets for the eases of tobacco. Long Collins, tobacco messenger from the San Gabriel outfit, who rode with the longest stirrups west of the Mississippi, delved with an arm like the tongue of a wagon. He caught something harder than a blanket and pulled out a fearful thing—a shapeless, muddy bunch of leather tied together with wire and twine.. From its ragged end, like the head and claws of a disturbed turtle, protruded human toes. “Who-ee!” yelled Long Collins. Ranse, are you a packin’ around a bunch of corpuses? Here's a—howlin’ grasshoppers!” Up from his long slumber popped Curly like some vile worm from its burrow. He clawed his way out and sat blinking like a disreputable, drunken owl. His face was as bluish-red and puffed and seamed and cross- lined as the cheapest round steak of the butcher. His eyes were swollen slits; his nose a pickled beet; his hair would have made the wildest thatch of a jack-in- the-box look like the satin poll of a Cleo de Merode. The rest of him was scarecrow done to the life. Ranse jumped down from his seat and looked at his strange cargo with wide-open eyes. “Here, you maverick, what are you doing in my wagon? How did you get in there?” The punchers gathered around in delight. time they had forgotten tobacco. Curly looked around him slowly in every direction. He snarfed like a Scotch terrier through his ragged beard. : “Where is this?“ he rasped through his parched throat. “It’s a damn farm in an old field. What'd you bring me here for—say? Did I say I wanted to come here? What are you Reubs rubberin’ at—-hey? G’wan or I'll punch some of yer faces.” “Drag him out, Collins,” said Ranse. Curly took a slide and felt the ground rise up and collide with his shoulder blades. He got up and sat on the steps of the store shivering from outraged nerves, hugging his knees and sneering. Taylor lifted out a For the SUNDAY MAGAZINE—ST, LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MAY 2, 1915. case of tobacco and wrenched off its top. Six cigarettes began to glow, bringing peace and forgiveness to Sam. “How'd you come in my wagon?” repeated Ranse, this time in a voice that drew a reply. Curly recognized the tone. He had heard it used by freight brakemen and large persons in blue carrying clubs. “Me?” he growled. “Oh, was you talkin’ to me? Why, I was on my way to the Menger, but my valet had for- got to pack my pajamas. So I crawled into that wagon in the wagon yard-see? I never told you to bring me out to this bloomin' farm—see?” —— —Lä—— ———— —— — — . — * Now, is there to be any more nonsense about this girl?” .

Pedro, the Wexican cook, sprang up to bring the food he was keeping warm in the stove. “Just a cup of coffee, Pedro,” he said, and drank it standing. nd then: „There's a tramp on 2 cot in the wagon shed.

A boy came Ranse walked out toward the jacale. running. ‘ „Mantel, can you catch Vaminos, in the little pasture, for me?” “Why not, senor? two hours past. He bears a drag rope. “Get him and saddle him as quick as you can. “Pontito, senor,” Soon, mounted on Vaminos, Ranse leaned in the sad- dle, pressed with his knees, and galloped eastward past the store, where sat Sam trying his guitar in the moon- light. I never thought I'd like you better for giving me up.” “What is it, Mustang?” asked Poky Rodgers, almost forgetting-to smoke in his esctasy. “What do it live on 255 „It's a galliwampus, Poky,” said Mustang. It's the thing that hollers ‘williwalloo’ up in ellum trees in the low grounds of nights. I don’t know if it bites.” “No, it ain’t, Mustang,” volunteered Long Collins. “Them galliwampuses has fins on their backs, and 18 toes. This here is a hicklesnifter. It lives under the ground and eats cherries. Don’t stand so close to it. It wipes out villages with one stroke of its prehensile tail.” Sam, the cosmopolite, who ¢alled bartenders in San Antonio by their first name, stood in the door. He was a better zoologist. “Well, ain’t that a Willie for your whiskers?” he com- menced. “Where'd you dig up the hobo, Ranse? Goin’ to make an auditorium for inbreviates out of the ranch?” “Say,” said Cörly, from whose panoplied breast all shafts of wit fell blunted... “Any of you kiddin’ guys got a drink on you? Have your fun. Say, I've been hittin’ the stuff till I don’t know straight up.” He turned to Ranse. “Say, you shanghaied me on your d——d old prairie schooner—did I tel] you to drive me to a farm? I want a drink. I’m goin’ all to little pieces. What’s doin’?” Ranse saw that the tramp’s nerves were racking him. He dispatched one of the Mexican boys to the ranch house for a glass of whisky. Curly gulped it down; and into his eyes came a brief, grateful glow—as human as the expression in the eye of a faithful setter dog. “Thanky, boss,” he said quietly. — “You’re 30 miles from a railroad, and 40 miles from a saloon,” said Ranse. Curly fell back weakly against the steps. “Since you are here,” continued the ranchman, “come along with me. We can’t turn you out on the prairie. A rabbit might tear you to pieces.” He conducted Curly to a large shed where the ranch vehicles were kept. There he spread out à canvas cot and brought blankets. “I don’t suppose you can sleep,” said Ranse, “since you've been pounding your ear for 24 hours. But you can camp here till morning. I'll have Pedro fetch you up some grub.” “Sleep!” said Curly. “I can steep a week. Say, sport, have you got a coffin nail on you?” IV. IFTY miles had Ransom Truesdell driven that day. And yet this is what he did. Old Kiowa Truesdell sat in his great wicker chair reading by the light of an immense oil lamp. Ranse laid a bundle of newspapers fresh from town at his elbow. : ae “Back, Ranse?“ said the old man, looking up. “Son,” old Kiowa continued, “I’ve been thinking all day about a certain matter that we have talked about. I want you to tell me again. I’ve lived for you. I’ve fought wolves and Indians and worse white men to pro- tect you. You never had any mother that you can re- member. I’ve taught you to shoot straight, ride hard and live clean. Later on I’ve worked to pile up dollars that’ll be yours. You'll be a rich man, Ranse, en my chunk goes out. I’ve made you. I’ve licked you into shape like a leopard cat licks its cubs.

Vaminos shall have a word—Vaminos the good dun herse. The Mexicans, who have a hundred names for the colors of a horse, called him gruyo. He was a mouse-colored, slate-colored, flea-bitten roan dun, if you can conceive it. Down his back from his mane to his tail went a line of black. He would live forever; and surveyors have not laid off as many miles in the world as he could travel in a day. Eight miles east of Cibolo ranch house Ranse loosened the pressure of his knees, and Vaminos stopped under a big ratama tree. The yellow ratama blossoms show- ered fragrance that would have undone the roses of France. The moon made the earth a great concave bowl with a crystal sky for a lid. In a glade five jack rahbits leaped and played together like kittens. Eight miles farther east shone a faint star that appeared to have dropped below the horizon. Night riders, who often steered their course by it, knew it to be the light in the Rancho de los Iimos. 8 In 10 minutes Yenna Curtis galloped to the tree on her sorrel pony Dancer. The two leaned and clasped hands heartily. be? “I ought to have ridden nearer your home,” said “But you never will let me.” | Yenna laughed. And in the soft light you could see her strong white teeth and fearless eyes. No senti- mentality there, in spite of the moonlight, the odor of the ratamas, and the admirable figure of Ranse Trues- dell, the lover. But she was there, eight miles from her home, to meet him. “How often have I told you, Ranse,” she said, “that am your half-way girl? Always half-way.” “Well?” said Ranse, with a question in his tones. “I did,“ said Yenna, with almost a sigh, “I told him after dinner, when I thought he would be in a good humor. Did you ever wake up a lion, Ranse, with the mistaken idea that he would be a kitten? He almost tore the ranch to pieces. It’s all up. I love my daddy, Ranse, and I’m afraic—lI’m afraid of him, too. He or dered me to promise that I’d never riarry a Truesdell, promised. That's all. What luck did you have?” “The same,” said Ranse slowly. 1 promised him that his son would never marry a Curtis. Somehow I couldn't go against him. He's mighty old. I’m sorry, Yenna.” The girl leaned in her saddle and laid one hand of Ranse’s, on the horn of his saddle. a “I never thought I'd like you better for giving me up,” she said ardently, “but I do. I must ride back now, Ranse. Dancer myself. Good night, neighbor.” “Good night,” said Ranse. Ride carefully over them badger holes.“ They wheeled and rode away in opposite directions. Yenna turned in her saddle and called clearly: Don't forget I’m your half-way girl, Ranse.” “Damn all family feuds and inherited scraps,” said Ranse vindictively to the breeze. Ranse turned his horse into the small pasture and went to his own room. He opened the lowest drawer of an old bureau to get out the packet of letters that Yenna had written him one summer when she had gone to Mississippi for a visit. The drawer stuck, and he yanked at it savagely as a man will. It came out of the bureau, and bruised both his shins—as a drawer will. An old, folded yellow letter without an envelope fell from somewhere—probably from where it had lodged in one of the upper drawers. Ranse took it to the lamp and read it curiously. | Then he took his hat and walked to one of the Mexi- can jacals. “Tia Juana,” he said, “I would like to talk with you a while.” An old, old Mexican woman, white-haired and wonder- fully wrinkled, rose from a stool. “Sit down,“ said Ranse, removing his hat and taking the one chair in the jacal. “Who am I, Tia Juana?” he asked, speaking Spanish. “Don Ransom, our good friend and employer. do you ask?” answered the old woman. “Tia Juana, who am I?” he repeated. 7 A frightened look came in the old woman's face. She fumbled with her black shawl. “Who am I, Tia Juana?” said Ranse once more. “Thirty-two yedrs I have lived on the Rancho Cibolo,” said Tia Juana. “I tuought to be buried under the coma mott beyond the garden before these things should be known. Close the door, Don Ransom, and 1 will speak. I see in your face that you know.” Why An hour Ranse spent behind Tia Juana’s closed door. As he was on his way back to the house Curly called to him from the wagon shed. The tramp sat on his cot, swinging his feet and ing. . f “Say, sport,” he grumbled, This is no way to treat a man after kidnapin’ him.

N my conversation with President Roosevelt, on the evening of Feb. 18, 1907, when he notified me that he had selected me to be chief engineer of the canal, and chairman of the commission, various matters connected with the canal were including the question of building discussed, the canal by contract. Mr. John F. Stevens, my predecessor as chief engineer of the canal, had strongly advocated the contract meth- od when first considered. In his report te Mr. Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the commission, he stated: “This is no small undertaking, but one that calls for the united and untiring efforts of the best brain and muscle that the United States can produce, and there is no one capable, either physically or mentally, of carrying, in all its details, this stupendous work to a rapid and successful conclusion; but by associating with us the best of all the needed elements, we can do the work quickly and well.” The President's action in placing the work under the army engineers created some feeling and criticism; the work was going to lag and suffer from lack of ini- The very fact that they were to be placed in charge was held up as one of the principal arguments in favor of the contract method. Army engineers, as a rule, were said to be, from their very training, dicta- torial and many of them martinets, and it was predicted that if they, rather than contractors, were placed in charge of the actual construction the canal project was doomed to failure. Their training was purely technical, they had never made a success as executive heads of great enterprises, and few if any of them had any con- tiative. struction ability. introduce business methods.“ The further criticism- was made that the Government engineers did not know the kind of machinery to employ and that experimentation to find that best adapted to the work would be expensive both in cost and time. A contractor, on the other hand, from his varied experi- ence, would not hesitate in such matters, and. the con- trary would be the result. It was stated that: among its employes. employer and the employe. entirely lacking in the Government. ernment methods, as it could be by contract. BY MAJOR-GENERAL GEORGE W. GOETHALS,” It was claimed that proper headway in the construc. tion of the canal had not been secured thus far, and that the chief obstacle in the way was Government “red tape,” whien the employment of army engineers would increase rather than decrease. On the other hand, with a contractor in charge, the first thing he would do would be to abolish this “galling red-tape system and The main objection, however, to doing the work by Government forces, and one not usually considered at its full value, was the inability to foster esprit de corps “It is a physical impossibility for the Government to secure team work amongst its employes, for the very good reason that there is no personal relation between the High salaries will not give this result, nor will comfortable quarters and good food, as there must enter the human factor, which is This feature is one in which the contractor will always have the ad- vantage over the Government, and no Government em- ployer, whether he be of the army or a civilian, can cultivate the spirit of good feeling or instill into the em- ploye a spirit of enthusiasm as can a private employer.” Thus it had come about that I was confronted, in taking charge of the work, with the necessity of de- termining whether the task could be accomplished as well as by hired labor, through the application of Gov- Not only were the President and Secretary of War prejudiced in go ahead with hired labor, following the established 5 2 r 75 pee} RE pert MS 3 1 5 ee 7 178 * 3 * * ‘ 5 . > 57 — * *. 5 I Pe fea 5 „ i a we ; rac. * 2 : A 1 n 1 7 5 ts 8 * : Pee, 1 A 35 P * * 48. ; 1 4 x 1 7 = : * 1 v : 5 * + MA A group of Haage laborers on the cant The men in the picture worked on a aut tram, and their boss, an American, is shown standing in the center of the group. had arrived and had looked over the situation. In- deed, what most surprised me was that Mr. Stevens, with the results before him that he had achieved through the force he had built up, could still favor the contract method. He had, it is true, d vocated the rejection of all the bids, but his objection had not been to the con- foremen, mechanics and skilled labor of all kinds must be secured from the United States, whether the work be done by contract or by the Government. The keen competition then existing in the United States because of the large amount of work in progress or contem- plated, militated against the argument that contractors would have superintendents, foremen and others avail- able for work on the Isthmus, for they would not break up their organizations, already engaged, for this purpose. Aside from skilled labor, it was not possible to secure an adequate supply of common labor from the United States, as objections had been raised to recruiting in _ the South, so that recourse must be had to obtaining it John F.

Under the circumstance, I had no choice but must favor of the contract system, but the former had assured Government methods, but I was quite willing to do me that the general opinion was on the same side.

I reached a conclusion strong- % in favor of the existing method, and about three months after my arrival 80 reported to the Pres- ident, giving my reasons. The unprecedented magnitude of the Panama Canal and the conditions under which it was to be built made it entire- ly different from similar classes of work in any locality of the United States.

A representative of the Italian Government rec- ommended to the authorities that Italian labor be per- mitted to accept employment under the Government, but that such employment by contractors should not be al- lowed. A similar experience was had with respect to Chinese labor. So far as dredging and lock ani dam construction were concerned, the Government’s experience had been, if not greater, at least as extensive as that of any con- tractor or association of contractors that could have been secured in the United States. So far as related to excavation in the dry by steam shovels and cars, the advantage at the start might have been with the con- tractor, yet the Government had secured one of the best experts in the country for this class of work, and he had built up an organization of the isthmus that could not be surpassed by any contractor. When the Government does work in the United States the wage scale is determined by the amount paid similar classes of labor in the locality where the work is being done; there is no pressure brought to bear on higher authority for any increase over the salaries or allow- ances offered. Conditions on the isthmus are peculiar. ‘It is contended by employes that service in the tropics saps the energy, and that a man is incapable, after a time, of performing the same amount of work that he would be able to accomplish had he spent the same peri- od in a ceoler climate. In support of the reasonableness of their claims, they point to the fact that the leave privilege to employes was established on recommenda- tion of the sanitary authorities, who claimed that such a change was necessary for the preservation of health. This creates a desire to accumulate sufficient means to avoid the necessity of equally hard work on the return to the United States; consequently, the demands for increase in pay are frequent, and to accomplish this, when denied by those immediately in charge of the work, recourse has been had to higher authority. This is a condition that a contractor would have been obliged to face as the Government did, and in some re- spects the latter has been in a position to handle the sit- uation more satisfactorily than the former—as was plainly indicated by the trouble with the steam-shovel men in May, 1907. It was claimed by the steam-shovel men that repre- sentations were made to them when the first came to ‘the isthmus that eventually their pay would be $300 per month. Their demand was not granted by the authori- ties on the isthmus, and the question was taken up at Washington by the leaders of their union in the United States. A hearing was given the men by the Secretary of War in April of 1907, and his report recommended against the increase, which report was approved by the President. While the work, to some extent, was crippled in consequence, had a contractor refused to consider the demand a strike undoubtedly would have been de- clared, and the matter could not have been so success- fully handled by a contractor under conditions as they actually existed. With the settlement by higher authority of the de- mand for increased pay on the part of the steam-shovel men, locomotive engineers and conductors, a fixed wage scale was adopted, and the authorities in Wash- ington decided that all questions of pay would there- after be left for the commission to handle, and that no appeals to higher authority would be recognized. The wage scale adopted for the Government employes would have had to be accepted and maintained by the con- tractor; and, if payment to the latter was based on a percentage of the cost of the work done. the demands (Continued on Page 1/0 CANAL — gia rent acto + I POP

Sets efficiency standard surpassing Ger- many, where livestock plague sPread so widely there is little hope of combating it—In six months Uncle Sam, at cost of $8,000,000, banishes disease from 21 states by slaughtering 140,000 animals Some cases of human infection. HE quick eradication of the epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease, which only a few months ago spread over 21 states and the District of Columbia, has again proved the superiority of one of the departments of the United States Government over the Governments of foreign nations. The recent visitation of the livestock plague in the United States was the sixth one the agents of the De- partment of Agriculture, assisted by the various states, have been called upon to fight, and each time the dis- ease has been driven from the country within a few montis. Germany, which is generally considered a little ahead of every other country in the matter of efficiency in almost every line of en- deavor, has failed com- pletely in her fight on. the disease, and there is probably no other coun- try, where the malady has once gained a foot · hold, in which it has been as completely eradi- eated as in the United States. The disease is now 80 widespread in Germany that there is said to be little hope of exterminat- ing it. In 1911 about 8,000,000 of the 51,319,000 cattle, sheep, hogs and goats of that country were affected. N In justice to Germany it should de remembered, however, that the farms as a rule in that country are much smaller than those in America, and thus the herds are closer together and the disease would spread more quickly. When the malady appeared in the United States last October, the Federal Government began its campaign by declaring a quarantine at the Chicago stockyards, where it was first discovered, and ordering that every animal should be killed as soon as symptoms of the dis- ease developed. Since that time 140,000 animals have been slaughtered. The loss has been divided equally between the states and the Federal Government, and th> owners of the slaughtered stock were reimbursed. Not the least of the many difficulties which the Fed- eral agents had to overcome in stamping out the disease was the opposition of farmers and stockmen to the slaughtering of the animals, The owners argued that the disease could be stamped out by quarantine, and that the greater part of the stock could be saved. Foot-and- mouth disease proves fatal in only from 2 to 8 per cent of the cases, but the animal which has been af- ‘tected, veterinary men declare, is apt at any time to develop a new case, thus creating a fresh outbreak of the epidemic. There was also the danger that the quar- antine could not be made tight enough to stop the spread of the disease, as there are many channels through which the germ may be carried to other stock. Sores between the toes are one of the charac- teristic symptoms. Shooting infected livestock in trenches dug for their graves. Photos courtesy ef Country Life in America. veterinarians and inspectors. On Jan. 25 an emergency bill was signed by Pres’ © dent Wilson appropriated another $2,500,000 for the work. The actual value of the animals which were slaughtered and burned or buried in deep trenches, under the supervision of Federal or state inspectors, is esti- mated at $3,000,000. Many of these animals were of pure-blooded stock. One herd of 800 prize cattle at the National Dairy Show at Chicago, valued at $1,000,000, became infected, but it was — necessary to slaughter only a few of tbem. There must be added to this, to gain an . of the total loss, the cost of closing the stockyards at Chicago, Pittsburg, Buffalo, East St. Louis and Omaha, at a time when the packing houses of the country had enormous contracts with European Governments for tinned meats for the armies engaged in war. There have beer several theories advanced, regarding the manner in which tbe disease was brought into the United States. It is generally agreed by Government officials that the first case developed in Southern Michigan. Milk from an infected cow is said to have ben sent to a creamery and the “skimmed” milk sent to a farm and fed to hogs. These hogs were shipped to Chicago, where they developed the disease while in the stockyards. The foot-and-routh disease does not exist in the United State nor... Illy, and each time it has appeared in this country the virus has come from some foreign land. In the case of the last epidemic the theory gen- erally accepted is that the germ was brought in a ship- ment of hides from Argentina. These were sent to a tannery at Niles, Mich., near the point where the dis- ease is thought first to have developed. The disease keeps the infected animals in constant pain from soreness of the hoofs and mouth. They are unable to eat and consequently lose in weight. In dairy stock the milk production is lessened, and even in cases where the animals seemingly recover, it is often many months before they regain their- norma! condition. In some cases the coating of the tongue disappears and the hoofs become separated from the skin above them. The recent epidemic was the-worst of the six which have visited the United States. The early epidemics were started by the importation of cattle from foreign countries. Such importations are now permitted only from countries in which it is certain no foot-and-mouth Frething at the mouth is a warning of the malady’s presence. also believed to have been closed by legislation and Government regulations. In a few individuals there developed an attitude almost of rebellion against the authorities, and in one instance a temporary injunction was granted restrain- ing the authorities from killing any more cattle in one , was not made permanent. Another source of trouble was lack of funds, especially in Illinois, of the frequent legislative This, however, where one disease exists. The epidemics of 1902 and 1908 were caused by the importation of vaccine from Japan, which in some way had become infected. This avenue is now Although on April 1 the Government officials were convinced that the epidemic was practically stamped out, they have not ceased to keep a watch for new cases, and in a few instances new outbreaks have developed, the latest being in Pennsylvania. The authorities have pointed out that there - =a deadlocks tied up @ pro- posed $1,000,000 appro- priation. Farmers whose cattle and hogs were slaughtered objected when they were told they would have to wait an indefinite period for their pay from the State. Another ignorance. obstacle was Veterinarians know very little about foot-and-mouth disease. The exact cause has never been determined and the only sure cure 80 far found has been killing the animals to prevent the spread of infection. Although no official Gov- ernment figures, giving. the total cost of the fight on the plague, are avail- able, it is known that the campaign cost almost $8,000,000. Up to Jan. 1 ‘the expenses of the Fed- eral Government were $2,127,138.04. Of this sum $1,840,000 represented half of the cost of slaughtering infected herds and reim- bursing the owners. : As the states paid an equal amount, another $1,840,000 can be added to may have been cases in which animals had light attacks and apparently recovered without the authorities having been notified. These animals may develop new cases at any time, thus causing the disease to gain fresh foothold. The coming of warm weather also gives some cause for alarm, for, unless the germs of the disease were actually destroyed by the low temperatures of winter, they may have remained dormant, in out-of-the- way corners of stock- yards, stockcars or farm- yards, awaiting only warm weather to make prove fatal or even leave 4 a 2 a and * 4 the duration of the at- x =~ — * ge ṹ— the expense.

For a long while he remained in deep thought which now wrinkled his brow into a frown and now made the corners of his mouth quiver with a smile. He believed himself a strong man, not of that sort which foolishly stakes all on a single throw, but-of the strength which is tem- pered with prudence, and leaves a loophole of escape. The schemes which he had sei in motion, using others to carry them forward, were lot entirely to his satis- faction. The element of danger in them was too marked, and of necessity there were too many in his ‘confidence, If failure came he believed he had secured sufficient lack of evidence to save himself, but with suc- cess, certain debts must accrue which he had never seen clearly how to avoid paying.

In some degree at any rate this was the case with the men who were with him tonight. Straubel, who had already complained of waiting, held office at Court and was ever alert to throw obstacles in the way of the policy of Baron Kevenfelt whom he hated; Kurd was one of the richest men in the city, as avaricious and as unscrupulous as the Burgomaster himself; Rahmer was a schemer against the existing order of things, a man ever on the side of change, gallant in manner, glib in speech, and popular with all those who were dis- contented. They had waited and grumbled for an hour or more shown him a high road out of this difficulty—the friend- when Prince Karl entered the room. He offered no ship of Louis of France. way eut which he would prefer to take, but at least he had a second way open to him, and the knowledge made him smile. Sandra would be forced to listen to his counsel, and the demands of his creditors would have to be reasonable. He was a gambler who could not lose. a “They have waited tonight and will complain,” he said, taking his cloak. “They have a foretaste of my independence which will do them good.” * Calling for a servant to attend him, he went out. He never went unaccompanied in the streets of Metz burg if he could help it. He had enemies, and he was not too trustful of his friends. Certainly he was waited for tonight. The Burgo- master had returned from the tavern ef the Rising Sun, and so sure was he that the number of his guests would be complete by this time that he did not ques- tion the servant in the hall. : “Not here yet!” he exclaimed as he entered the room which he had left not long ago. “No.” answered one of the three men with an oath. “It is not the first time we have had to dance at- tendance in this fashion.” “It will be the last,” said the Burgomaster. “We are nearing the end. I have arranged everything. Aft- er tomorrow I shall speak plainly. We shall not dance attendance any more; we shall call the tune.” There was an air of finality in the statement as he seated himself. Heinrich von Lehmann had no doubt whatever concerning his own importance. Clothed in his robes and seated in the great carved chair of office in the Rathhaus, there was undeniably something im- posing about the Burgomaster. There the ermined gown lent an air of wit to his commonplace utterances, and his pompous speech often passed for wisdom: in his own house, although he endeavored to preserve his public dignity and must needs occupy an ample chair, he was only a fat man who breathed heavily and was inclined to bluster. : Yet in his head, so disproportionate in size to his body, there was a brain of sufficiently high an order to appreciate how best to ensure the worldly prosperity of the Burgomaster, and since he possessed no conscience to speak of, the methods to be used towards this end troubled him not at all. Ready to consider any scheme or any kind of underhand dealing which might help to fill his private coffers, he was an easy friend to any man or woman who might be useful to him. His first thought was always for himself, and at any moment he would have sacrificed his best friend if he stood either in the way of his ambition or in the path of his escape. At heart he was a coward, but he could speak fearlessly enough on occasion to those he deemed suffi- There might be a crooked apology. He seated himself without any explanation, “come to me at the castle. and looked at the Burgomaster. “Well, Von Lehmann, have you carried out your instructions?” “Instructions!” The look on the Burgomaster’s face caused a smile on his companions’ faces, and the Prince burst into a laugh. The lateness of the hour forbids-too nice a choice of words.” “The lateness is not our fault,” the Burgomaster arswered. “We have been waiting long enough to try our @empers, I do assure you.” | “We are in like case then and may cry quits. I have been cursing myself for not arranging that you should I find the walk to the mar- het place trying sometimes. Well, what have you done? Does that form of question please you better?” “Your Highness, I think we all find it more appro- priate under the circumstances,” and then the Burgo- master slowly and ponderously reported bis visit to the Rising Sun. Excellent, said the Prince. “We approach the end of this a flair, gentlemen. I shall hunt tomorrow with 2 light heart, and afterwards—we need hardly discuss the afterwards tonight.” “There is just one point of danger,” said Straubel, “the jester—Bergolet. Her Grace has elected not to take him with her to Festenhausen, but even at the last moment she might change her mind.” “The jester! What can he do even if he should be of the company?“ gurgled the Burgomaster. “There will be short work with the péstilent fellow I war rant. A patch of darker crimson in his dress than he usually carries, a supper for beast and bird, and an end to him. You will see no sign of mourning with me.” “If excuse for my late arrival were necessary, Bergo- let would furnish it,” said Karl. “Your minds may be at ease concerning him. He has been arrested tonight while prowling about the streets. I hear he made some sort of resistance and consequently had the senses knocked out of him. By the time he is ready to jest again our hunting will be over.” “That is good news,” said Straubel. “Was it the Duchess had him arrested?” asked Rah- mer. “It was done in her name,” Karl answered. “If there has been a mistake it can be explained later.” ~ “IT could almost regret that the forest will lack its carrion,” said the Burgomaster as the Prince rose. The opening of the door was the signal for conver sation of a more conventional character, such as friends may use on parting; it acted as a warning, too, and the woman who had descended half a dozen stairs hastily moment he said, “A servant, surely a Sea RE 2 a Continued from Page 7. retreated to the gallery again where she had watched ever since she had let the jester out of a side door. She had not been there when the Burgomaster returned, but she had seen Prince Karl enter and she wanted te know who all the visitors were tonight. Only a few moments ago a chain which she wore had fallen upem a rug in the hall below. As she it with restless hands the clasp had become ened and it had slipped from her neck. She was going down to get: it when the room door opened. Safe in the shadows the gallery again she watched the men crossing the hall, hoping that her chain would remain unnoticed. It was Kurd who saw it and picked it up. “You scatter your wealth in strange places, Burge master,” he said, holding out the chain. “Dropped by one of the servants, probably,” said the Burgomaster, but as he took it the Prince saw it „May I look?” and then after examining it for a servant never ware this?” | The woman in the gallery drew further back inte the shadows, afraid of an upward glance that might pierce her hiding place. “Why not?” said Von Lehmann, “it is only a cheap trinket.” “Look ‘again, Burgomaster,” and Karl held out the chain so that the light from the hanging lamp might fall upon it. “If that be a sample of your judgment of merchandise, I can picture you a ruined man Only once before have I held in my hands such a chain as this, and though I am no merchant I knew that I held a gift worthy to clasp the throat of a princess. Surely it is of finest gold, Burgomaster, and look at the work- manship. I warrant it came from Florence and that the goldsmiths of that city never accomplished better work,” “You are right, Prince,” the Burgomaster answered after a pause. “My sight in this light is indifferent. How she became possessed of it I de not know, but ® may belong to my niece.” “Your niece!” Karl exclaimed. “I did not know you possessed a niece,” said Rak mer. “Has she delicacy and beauty which can match the chain?“ . “Like other men I have relations,“ the Burgomaster answered somewhat irritably, “and my niece has suf ficient beauty, I believe.” “Tell her that Prince Karl would make her acquaint | ance and would learn how she became possessed of such pretty jewelry.” “She is somewhat masterful, Your Highness, and may refuse the information.” “I think not,” laughed Karl as he passed out. For a few moments after his guests had gone the Burgomaster stood looking at the chain in the palm of his great fat hand. Very gradually his frowu changed into a smile, a leering smile which had malice in it, and cold, calculating wickedness. They must be devilish thoughts which ran through his mind to make him smile 60; and the woman watching him from the gallery seemed to read them, for a sudden shudder shook her. It was not fear she felt, but abhorrence, the pres ence of something unclean and unholy. At that me ment Bergolet might have broken his oath to her and not have made her angry. . The Burgomaster dropped the chain into his pocket as he left the hall, and the woman hurried te her room and fast locked the door. Copyright by Little, Brown & Co.

tee offices in Bavaria and retired as a private The Higher His face, now shaven smooth, seemed transformed. His hair had been combed, and it fell back from the right side of his forehead with a peculiar wave. The moonlight charitably softened the ravages of drink; and his acquiline, weil-shaped nose and small, square cleft chin almost gave distinction to his looks. Ranse sat on the foot of the cot and looked at him curiously. “Where did you come from have you got aay home or folks anywhere?” “Me? Why, I’m a dook,” said Curly. I'm Sir Regi- nald—oh, cheese it. No; I don’t know anything about my ancestors. I’ve been a tramp ever since I can re member. Say, old pal, are you going to set em up again tonight or not?“ “You answer my questions and maybe I will. How did you come to be a tramp?“ “Me?” answered Curly. “Why, I adopted that pro- fession when I was an infant. Case of had to. First thing I can remember, I belonged to a big, lazy hobo called Beefsteak Charlie. He sent me around to houses to beg. I wasn’t hardly big enough to reach the latch of a gate.” “Did he ever tell you how he got you?“ asked Ranse. “Once when he was sober he said he bought me for an old six-shooter and six bits from a band of drunken Mexican sheep shearers. But what's the diff? That's all I know.” “All right,” said Ranse. “I reckon you’re a maverick for certain. I’m going ta put the Rancho Cibolo brand on you. I'll start you to work out in one of the camps tomorrow.” “Work!” sniffed Curly disdainfully. “What do you take me for? Do you think I'd chase cows and hop- skip-and-jump around after crazy sheep like that pink- e yore guy at the store says these Reubs do? For- get it.” “Oh, you'll like it when you get used to it,” said Ranse. “Yes, I'll send you up one more drink by Pedro. I think you'll make a first-class cow puncher before I get through with you.” “Me?” said Curly. “I pity the cows you set me to chaperon. They can go chase themselves. Don't forget my nightcap, please, boss.” Ranse paid a visit to the store before going to the house. Sam Revell was taking off his tan shoes re- gretfully and preparing for bed. “Any of the boys from the San Gabriel camp riding in early in the morning?“ asked Ranse. “Long Collins,” said Sam briefly. “For the mail.” “Tell him,” said Ranse, “to take that tramp out to camp with him and keep him till I get there.” V. URLY was sitting on his blankets in the San Gabriel camp cursing talentedly when Ranse Truesdell rode up and dismounted on the next afternoon. The cow punchers were ignoring the stray. He was grimy with dust and black dirt. His clothes were making their last stand in favor of the conventions. Ranse went up to Buck Rabb, the camp boss, and spoke briefly. He's a plumb buzzard,” said Buck. “He won't work, and he’s the low-downest passel of inhumanity I ever see. I didn’t know what you wanted done with him, Ranse, so I just let him set. That seems to suit him. He's been condemned to death by the boys a dozen times, but I told em maybe you was savin’ him for torture.” Ranse took off his coat. I've got a hard job before me, Buck, I reckon, but it has to be done. I’ve got to make a man out of that thing. That’s what I’ve come to camp for.” He went up to Curly. | “Brother,” he said, “don’t you think if you had a bath it would allow you to take a seat in the company of your fellow men with less injustice to the atmosphere?” “Run away, farmer,” said Curly sardonically. Willie will send for nursey when he feels like having his tub.” The charco, or water hole, was 12 yards away. Ranse took one of Curly’s ankles and dragged him like a sack of potatoes to the brink. Then, with the strength and sleight of a hammer-thrower, he hurled the offending member of society far into the lake. Curly crawled out and up the bank spluttering like a porpoise. Ranse met him with a piece of soap and a coarse towel in his hands. “Go to the other end of the lake and use this,” he said. “Buck will give you some dry clothes at me wagon.” The tramp obeyed without protest. By the time sup- per was ready he had returned to camp. He was hardly to be recognized in his new blue shirt and brown duck- ing clothes. Ranse observed him out of the corner of his eye. “Lordy, I hope he ain't a coward,” he was saying to himself. “I hope he won’t turn out to be a coward.” His doubts were soon allayed. Curly walked straight to where he stood. His light blue eyes were blazing. “Now I’m clean,” he said, meaningly. “Maybe you'll talk to me. Think you've got a picnic here, do you? You clod-hoppers think you can run over a man because you know he can’t get away. All right. Now, what do you think of that?” Curly planted a stinging slap against Ranse’s left cheek. The print of his hand stood out a dull red against the tan. Ranse smiled happily. The cow punchers talk to this day of the battle that followed. Somewhere in his restless tour of the cities Curly had acquired the art of self-defense. The ranchman was equipped only with the splendid strength and equi- librium of perfect health and the endurance conferred by decent living. The two attributes nearly matched. There were no formal rounds. At last the fiber of the clean liver prevailed. The last time Curly went down from one of the ranchman’s awkward but powerful blows he remained on the grass, but looking up with an unquenched eye. Ranse went to the water barrel and washed the red from a cut on his chin in the stream from the faucet. On his face was a grin of satisfaction. Much benefit might accrue to educators and moralists if they could know the details of the curriculum of reclamation through which Ranse put his waif during the month that he spent in the San Gabriel camp. The ranchman had no fine theories to work out—perhaps his whole stock of pedagogy embraced only a knowledge of horse breaking and a belief in heredity. The cow punchers saw that their boss was trying to make a man out of the strange animal that he had sent among them; and they tacitly organized themselves into a faculty of assistants. But their system was their own. Curly’s first lesson stuck. He became on friendly and then on intimate terms with soap and water. And the thing that pleased Ranse most was that his “subject” held his ground at each successive higher step. But the steps were sometimes far apart. Once he got at the quart bottle of whisky kept sacred- ly in the grub tent for rattlesnake bites, and spent 16 hours on the grass, magnificently drunk. But when He staggered to his feet his first move was to find his soap and towel and start for the charco. And once, when a treat came from the ranch in the form of a basket of fresh tomatoes and young onions, Curly devoured the entire consignment before the punchers reached the camp at supper time. And then the punchers punished him in their own way. For three days they did not speak to him, except to reply to his own questions or remarks. And they spoke with absolute and unfailing politeness. They played tricks on one another; they pounded one another hurtfully and affectionately; they heaped upon one an- other’s heads friendly curses and obloquy; but they were polite to Curly. He saw it, and it stung him as much as Ranse hoped it would. There came a night that brought a cold, wet norther. Wilson, the youngest of the outfit, had lain in camp two days, if with a fever. When Joe got up at daylight to begin breakfast he found Curly sitting asleep against a wheel of the grub wagon with only a saddle blanket around him, while Curly’s blankets were stretched over Wilson to protect him from the rain and wind. Three nights after that Curly rolled himself in his blanket and went to sleep. Then the other punchers rose up softly and began to make preparations. Rause saw Long Collins tie a rope to the horn of a saddle. Others were getting out their six-shooters. „Boys, said Ranse, Im much obliged. I was hop- ing you would. But I didn’t like to ask.” thrashed him wofully with u pair of leather leggings. And ali this meant that Curly had won his spurs, that he was receiving the puncher’s accolade. Never more would they be polite to him. But he would be stirrup brother, foot to foot. When the fooling was ended all hands made a raid on Joe’s big coffee pot by the fire for a Java nightcap. Ranse watched the new knight carefully to see if he understood and was worthy. Curly limped with his cup of coffee to a log and sat upon it. Long Collins followed and sat by his side- Buck Rabb went and sat at the other. Curly—grinned. And tren Ranse furnished Curly with mounts and saddle and equipment, and turned him over to Buck Rabb, instrprting him to finish the job. Three weeks later Ranse rode from the ranch into Rabb’s camp, which was then in Snake Valley. The boys were saddling for the day’s ride. He sought out Long Collins among them. “How about that bronco?” he asked. Long Collins grinned. “Reach out your hand, Ranse Truesdell,” he said, “and you'll touch him. And you can shake his’n, too, if you like, for he's plumb white and there’s none bet- : ter in no camp.” Ranse looked again at the clear-faced, bronzed, nine cowpuncher who stood at Collins’ side. Could that be Curly? He held out his hand, and Curly grasped if with the muscles of a bronco buster. “I want you at the ranch,” said Ranse. “All right, sport,” said Curly heartily. “But I want to come back again. Say, pal, this is a dandy farm And I don’t want any better fun than hustlin’ cows with this bunch of guys. They’re all to the merry merry.” At the Cibolo ranch house they dismounted. Rans¢ bade Curly wait at the door of the living room. He walked inside. Old io Truesdell was reading a a table. “Good morning, Mr. Truesdell, said Ranse. The old man turned his white head quickly. “How is this?” he began. “Why do you call me ‘Mr.’ ?”—— When he looked at Ranse’s face he stopped, and the hand that held his newspaper trembled slightly. “Boy,” he said slowly, “how did you find it out?” “It’s all right,“ said Ranse, with a smile. “I made Tia Juana tell me. It was kind of by accident, but it’s all right.” “You've been like a son to me,” said old Kiowa. “Tia Juana told me all about it,” said Ranse. “She told me how you adopted me when I was knee-high to a puddle duck out of a wagon train of prospectors that was bound West. And she told me how the kid—your kid, you know—got lost or was run away with. And she said it was the same day that the sheep shearers got on a bender and left the ranch.” “Our boy strayed from the house when he was two years old,” said the old man. “And then along came these emigrant wagons with a youngster they didn’t want; and we took you in. I never intended you to know, Ranse. We never heard of our boy again.“ „He's right outside, unless I’m mighty mistaken,” said Ranse, opening the door and beckoning. Curly walked in. No one could have doubted. The old man and the young had the same sweep of hair, the same nose, chin, line of face and prominent light blue eyes. Old Kiowa rose eagerly. Curly looked about the room curiously. A puzzled expression came over his face. He pointed to the wall opposite. „Where's the tick-tok?” he asked absent-mindedly. “The clock!” cried old Kiowa loudly. The eight-day clock used to stand there. Why“! He turned to Ranse, but Ranse was not there. Already a hundred yards away Vaminos, the good flea-bitten dun, was bearing him eastward like a racer through dust and chaparral toward the Rancho de los Olmos. (Copyright, The Frank A. Munsey Co.) Discovered! America’s its best features, may be labeled “made-in-Massachu- setts.” At one stroke he changed the Bavarian army from an assembly of idle and vicious vagabonds into self- supporting workers. Bavaria was overrun by hardy and impudent mendicants, whose methods of beggary were little removed from highway robbery. Thompson ar- rested every beggar in Munich one morning and settled them all in an industrial asylum, where most of them were turned into workers and useful citizens, and the whole evil of mendacity was soon erased from the Duchy. He introduced potatoes into Bavaria as a food and revolutionized agriculture with such innovations as the rotation of crops. The climax of his court career care * 1795, during the French Revolutionary Wars. Munich was threatened by both French and Austrian armies. The Elector fled, having named as Regent of the Duchy, not one of his relatives, but his trusted counselor—the American who had once served customers behind a Boston counter. This trust was well founded, for Count Rumford dis- played such diplomacy and such an ingratiating tact to- ward both enemies that Munich was spared a hostile occupation. The Elector returned and in his gratitude named Count Rumford Ambassador to England from Bavaria; but the circumstance that he was a British subject proved, much to the Count’s tment, an insuperable obstacle; such a position in a su we; being forbidden by British custom. Soon afterwards Count Rumford resigned nis many tiven to London. Here he published the essays w ve made his name one of the great ones in sc It. was he who first formulated ba fundamental theory that heat SUNDAY eee A POST-DISPAPCHe-MAY. 2, 1915 1 * ree © eS gids ar . : e 8 — rs liad * 8 — w 7 —— — — tle 22 Third Greatest Man is a form of molecular motion and not a material sub- stance, as the general belief then was. He published this conclusion, supported by many painstaking experiments, in his famous “Inquiry Concerning the Source of Heat Which is Excited by Friction.” In 1799 he became the principal founder of the Royal Institution in London, and himself selected Sir Humphry Davy as scientific lecturer there. His inventions for the economicz l use of heat—kitchen utensils, stoves and ovens—were numerous and were all given freely to the public. He was one of tne first ex. ponents of scientific dietetics, and was the great smoke abater of his day, perfecting a number of devices for smokeless stoves, fireplaces and grates. He built the first scientific smokestacks and invented the calorimeter and the thermoscope. So notorious were his principles of thrift as applied to food that thin soups in London were called “Rumford gruel,” and on the Continent soldiers, when food was meager, said their rations were “a la Rumford.” However, it was said that Count Rumford lavished his own money to teach other people to save theirs.” He wrote voluminously, in an English style which, for simplicity and clarity, has been compared to Benjamin Franklin's. The military academy which he founded in Bavaria was the model, it is said, upon which the United States Military Academy was organized. Americans at first heard with incredulity and then with amazement and irritation of the honors to which “Benedict Arnold the Second,” as some of them termed him, had arrived in Europe. That he was really a Count and that he moved habitually in the circles of courts, statesmen and philosophers seemed to them 7 * Continued from page 3. like a tremendous fairy tale; and that the former dry goods clerk now possessed one of the world’s great names in science appeared to his former neighbors al- most beyond belief. Count Rumford himself made numerous overtures for permission to revisit his native land, but the stringent legislation against Tories enacted during the Revolution had not yet been repealed, and he was still liable to ar- rest if he ventured to enter the United States. In his later years nothing gave him more pleasure than his election as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He never saw his wife after his flight from Woburn, and she died in 1792. Their daughter, Sarah, visited her father in London and Munich, but the unsophisticated Yankee girl showed little aptitude for the polished and polite, circles in which her father moved, and was soon sent back home. Until her death she lived unmarried at Concord, and was known as Countess Sarah. Her father’s gallantries abroad provided her with a brother and sister, the latter of whom died young, and the for- mer grew up to be a n army officer in France. In 1804 Count Rumford married one of the most bril- lian women of the day, the widow of the famous chemist, Lavoisier. Both were rich, and their magnificent resi- dence in Paris was the resort of the lions of the day. But they soon proved utterly incompatible. Rumford of his age. sth a pli aa n “Te 1 1

The first thing she ever saw, to take notice, was a splay-foot clown who I walked in front of her and for her especial entertainment stepped on his own foot and wailed with the agony it caused him. Her first playmate was a tiger cub, which—alas!—didn’t play fair and grew ten or a dozen times as fast as Catherine, and had to be graduated from the nursery to a cage. Be- fore she was a year old she had been swung aloft on the trunk of the most elephantine of all elephants, now that Jumbo is dead. “Aren’t circuses good fun?“ Cather- ine was asked a few days ago as she sat with her nurse upon a curved section of dismantled ring, un- der what would have been the “Big Top” if it hadn’t been the roof of Madison Square Gar- den in New York. “Circuses is”’——- began the child. “Are, Catherine,” the nurse admon- ished. ~- “All right, Marie. Circuses are the best fun there are.” “Is, Catherine.” “Ts,” Catherine eorrected dutifully. And despite incom- prehensible eccen+ tricities of grammar which are always arising to puzzle her, Catherine is as fine an expert on the subject as any other child would want. At that very mo- ment—it was prac- tice hour in the cir- cus—two men were balancing themselves on big gilt balls and holding at arms’ length above their heads a ladder on which a third man .footed his way back and forth, poised on a third gilded globe. A Samson- like un- : derstudy of Miller | Huggins caught silvered cannon balls tossed roof-high from a Above — Catherine 8 mortar.

Elephants are the most dangerous, she says, and to right, as an because they are liable to eat you up just like loaves of bread. You must be respectful to lions and tigers because they are liable to scratch you, but they always spit to give you fair warning. She was sure it wasn’t a proper time to try to play with the leopard, which, a 50-pound chunk of incarnate temper cased in gorgeous skin and looking out through eyes that were amber fire, arched its back and hissed and swore. The animal’s attendant was cleaning out its cage with a long iron bar and making slow work of it. Home is different when you are a circus person, according to Catherine. Bridgeport is home in winter, but in summer home is Car No. 27, a convenient sort of place that moves right on with you wherever you want to go. Catherine was asked what she is going to be when she grows up. “A great, big girl,” she answered. “And perhaps I’ll ride some horses, too, but I don’t know yet.” 2 e PA, e e P Wr me ge ue | } i , — rr ote Ire eee infant equestrienne. “4 n n te iti] % ‘| 9 rd ia ma hil * . i j 1 ( 1 bi * \ H ( 9 % ö 6 9 Hh 76 . % in 7 „ „ ail 0 / ous a if i Bi Wi hi it 0 „„ „ 3 „ il — ˙ BON Tt OTR Sas < POE MN
