AMERICA, HOWEVER, TO INSIST ON RIGHTS Berlin Has Been Told In- formally Since Dispatch of Note That U. S. Stands Firmly on Principles of Humanity. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 19.—Official information was received here today that Germany's reply to the American note would not be completed for al least a week, and probably not reach Washington for at least 10 days. It is now known with somedefi- niteness that Germany will indicate her willingness to have her subma- rimes act toward all merchantmen just as destroyers or cruisers would, giving ample time for passenger-« and crew to leave, provided mer- chantmen are unarmed, or if pas- pengers and contraband traffic are separated, That position is looked upon with some favor here, provided it is sug- gested as a modus vivendi and tem- porary arrangement and does no. involve the relinquishment by the United States of the rights of its citizens to travel anywhere on the high seas on enemy or belligerent, unarmed ships. U. §S. Insists on Principles. There is an insistence on the part of the United States, however, that the principles of law and humanity expressed in its note must be recog- nized and admitted by Germany and that any intention to. destroy Amerli- can lives on the Lusitania must be disavowed. That the United States will stand firmly on the principles set forth in ita note has been conveyed indire¢t- ly and informally to Germany sinée the communication itself left here. Another factor in the situation which is expected to be clarified in a day or two is that with respect to Great Brit- ain ever the embargo proclaimed by the allies. That a note has been in preparation on the subject and is vir- tually completed, is authoritatively known, but it was learned today that President Wilson probably will not make any move in that direction until Ger- many’s reply is received. He is said to be unwilling to compli- cate the problem by new representa- tions and is understood to believe that the issue between the United States and Germany must be settled clearly on the auestions presented in the note and that the United States should act with- out obligation and in its own way in its correspondence with Great Britain or other belligerents. Germany has sent to a prize court the case of the American sailing ship Wil- liam P. Frye, sunk in the South At- lantic last January by the German auxi- liary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich, but it is understood the German Admiralty took that action before it had receivec the amen ag note insisting that the damages justed directly through Boies + negotiations in Washington. It is said by officials here that the reference of the case to a prize court will not necessarily prevent diplomatic adjustment. The German Government, it is said, probably finds it necessary, under its legal methods, to develop cer- tain facts through a prize court, even while negotiations may be in progress. As Germany has admitted in principle its liability for the sinking of the Frye, the State Department here probably will not feel concerned at this latest deve)- opment. Full Payment Promised. The American Government sent a de- mand for indemnity to Germany soon after the Frye was sunk. The German Government replied that the American claim appeared to be well founded and that full payment would be made for losses sustained by the owners. The note concluded with a paragraph that the adjudication of the case would have to be made by a German prize court. On April 28 the State Department in- formed the German Government that its proposal to force the owners of the ves- sel to go through a prize court and await its action was not gatisfactory tc this Government. There were rumors in Washington last night that the State Department had learned that Germany had ordered a suspension of her submarine warfare pending the negotiations between the German and American Governments. This rumor would seem to be discounted by the sinking of the British steamer Drumeree, reported today. GERMAN REPLY TO GO BEFORE KAISER AND VON TIRPITZ ‘Copyright, 1915, by Preas Pub. Co.)

FIRES AT MAN FACING HIM. HITS MIRROR BEHIND OWN BACK Saloon Proprictor’s Se-ond Bullet Breaks Window at His Left, Third Is Lost. John (Skinny) Golden, Democratic politician and proprietor of a saloon at Thirteenth and Market streets, fired three shots at a man who was stand- ing in front of his bar at 12:30 o'clock this morning and one of the bullets went through a big mirror behind Gol- den, another penetrated a window at Golden’s left and the third went. sx wild the police couldn't find it. Golden told policemen that a drunken bartender who had lost his job at Mooney’s saloon, Thirteenth and Chest- nut street, accused him of having had him fired and threatened to shoot Gol- den. “He put his hand to his hip pocket, but I beat him to it,’’ Golden said. ‘‘I must have been looking crosseyed when I hit the mirror.” ‘‘Maybe you were trying to shoot the bartender’s reflection,”’ a policeman suggested. Two of the Sheriff's deputies, Martin Dorsey of 2308 North Twelfth street, and Thomas Harrison of 1215 North Twelfth street, were in the saloon at the time and said Golden was telling the truth. He wae not arrested. “WILFUL MURDER” VERDICT AGAINST KAISER IN ENGLAND Coroner’s Jury Holds Him Responsi- ble for Man’s Death After Zeppelin Raid. RAMSGATE, England, May 19.—A Coroner’s jury today returned a verdict of “willful murder’ against Emperor William in the case of John Smith, who died as the result of shock following injuries suffered in the Zeppelin raid of Monday.

Prosecmttor Says Former Clayton Realty Dealer Will Be Tried on Every Count. Beverly C. Stevens, for 20 years the most prominent real estate deal- er in St. Louis County, again was placed on trial today on a charge ot embezzlement. A jury in Judge Cave's court vesterday found him guilty of a similar charge and fixed his pun-~ ishment at three years in the peni- tentiary. Today's trial also was in Judge Cave's court. There are 41 other cages against Stevens. in all of these he has taken a change of venue to St. Louis. They originally were docketed in the St. Louls County Circuit Court at Clayton, where had his real estate office. Miss Josie Mudd:-,of 2%00 University street, and her sister, Mrs. Laura Burke of 2520 St. Louls avenue, are the presecuting witnesses in the case now being tried. The specific charge is that Stevens, .Nov. 20, 1913, em- bezzled from Miss Mudd and Mrs. Burke a note for $150 which they gave to him to be applied on the purchase price of a piece of property in Joyce place, St. Louis County. Mrs. Burke and Mists Mudd agreed F purchase the property for $600. benes aid $100 down. Stevens It was alleged in the aon ee that when they gave the $150 note to Stevens he converted it to his own us- instead of turning it over to Mrs, Joyce. Richard Ralph, Prosecuting Attor- ney for St. Louis County, is conduct- ing the prosecutions of Stevens in the St. Louis courts. He said today that all of the remaining 39 cases would go to trial and that as quickly as one charge against Stevens was passed upon by a jury another would be brought forward. Tells of Making Payment, Miss Mudd testified that the first two notes of $150 each were paid by her sis- ter, Mrs. George Kingsland. She aail she first went to Stevens’ office to make a payment, Nov. 30, 1913. With her was another sister, Miss Julia Mudd She handed $1580 to B. C. Stevens Jr., who gave it to Ellis Stevens and told him to take it into an inner office and have a receipt signed. Ellis went int» the inner office. She heard a voice which she recognized as that of B. C. Stevens Sr. A few minutes later Ellis came out and nanded her a_ “receipt signed by B. C. Stevens. Miss Julia Mudd corroborated her sis- ter’s testimony. Mrs. Kingsland told of making two payments at Stevens’ of- fice. In each case, she said, the monev was taken into an iuner office and afte! a short wait a receipt signed with the name of B. C. Stevens was brought tu her. Steveus’ attorney, In questioning the witnesses, dwelt on the fact that the women had not seen B. C. Stevens whe making the payments. Therefore, he said, they could not be sure that he re- ceived the money. The State rested at noon. DUTCH ARMY INCREASE PLANNED Bill Prepared to Compe: Universal Compulsory Military "rainirg.

CONGESTION Boi tabiesirsescn’s oak Police and Street Departments Considering Regulation; Park- way Would Be Relief. A plan is under consideration by the Police and Street Departments to con- vert Locust street into a one-way thor- oughfare, by which eastbound traffic wou':l be permitted in the mornings and westbound vehicles axclusively in afternoons. The congested condition of the thor- oughfare is due primarily to the in- creased number of motor vehicles and secondarily to the large number of jit- neys using the street. President McPheeters of the Police Board told a Post-Dispatch reporter to- day he believed the change in traffi- regulations on Locust street would be made soon. lie said no final plan had been devised, but he thought the one-way rule possibly would be applied from 8 to 9:30 a. m. 6:30 or 7 p. m. and from 4 to May Include Pine Street. The one-way regulations, he said, probably would apply between Twelfth street and Theresa avenue. He said the commissioners had thought also of designating another one-way thoroughfare for hours, possibly Pine street, on which only westbound traffic would be permitted in the mornings and only eastbound traffic in the afternoons. He said it later was suggested that the one-way rule, at first, be made to apply only to Locust street. Observations of the crowded traf- fic conditions on Locust street are being made, Commissioner McPheeters said, but no figures are available. He said there was no doubt in any- body’s mind that Locust street traf- fic demanccc regulation by which the danger of accidents could we dione away with. Patkway as a Relief. Commissioner McPheeters, jday speech yesterday at the central parkway headquarters, at 521 Olive street, said he favored the parkway be- cause he believes it will relieve traffic conditions which are becoming one of the most serious problems the police and city officials have to handle. “The rapid increase of automobiles and motor trucks, ‘“‘Commissioner Mc- Pheeters said, ‘has created one of the most serious traffic proBlems we ever have had to contend with. The parkway would solve this problem. It would have a tendency .to distribute the park- ing of cars in the downtown sections, relieving the general traffic congestion. He said the parkway would have a decided tendency to diminish juve- nile crime in St. Louis. Police rec- ords here and in other cities, he said, show offenses of juveniles have de- creased from 20 to 30 per cent in sections where parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities have been established.

MARKETS —SPORTS ROBBER WHO SHOT GIRL IDENTIFIED AS PARK HOLDUP MAN Miss Lydia Bray Wounded Thrice When Couple Are At- tacked in Lover’s Lane. ESCORT IN DUEL IN A. F. Williams Tells of His Fight With Highwayman, Whose Wounds Are Serious. Tony Gualdoni, Forest Park highway- man, who last night shot Miss Lydia Bray, 18 years old, of ‘3663 Folsom ave- nue, and was twice wounded by Arthur F. Willlams, 3%, of 5153 Vernon avenue, the wvith whom the young woman was sit- ting in his automobile near the Confed- erate monument, was identified at the city hospital today as the man who robbed one automobilist, and probably another, in the park on the night of April 22. Jerome Friede of 5351 Delmar boule- vard said the wounded robber was the man who robbed him of $15 and his. watch near the Confederate monument on that night, when he got out to fix his machine. A young woman was with him at the time. Alex G. Buttweiler of 5055 Vernon avenue, who was robbed of his watch and $1 on the same night, and in-about the same manner, will be asked to look at Gualdouni. . Girl Has Three Wounds. Gualdoni has twv serious wounds in the breast. The police:think he is the man who robbed Fred C. Orthwein of £108 Waterman avenue, on [inéell boule- vard near DeBaliviere avenue, the night of March 4, and who robbcd Edward H. Stamm of 4936 Washington boulevard, as he walked with a young woman on Lindell boulevard the night of/March 9. Recause of these robberies of men ac- companied by women, two policemen have since patrolled the park neighbor- hood at night, one in woman's clothing and the other posing as her escort, in the hope of gaining the robber’s atten- tion. Gualdoni said he lived at 1122 Locust street. Miss Bray, who has two wounds in the right leg and one in the right hand, is in the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium. Wil- liams was not permitted to see her when he called this morning. Hole Through Hat Brim. Williants, who was unhurt, show2i a Post-Dispatch ~reporter a hole through his hat brim, which he said was inade by one of the highwayman’s bullets. He said he and Miss Bray, who ig a téle- phone operator, had been acquainted for a year and a half, and he told a detailed story of the fight. ‘‘We were sitting on the front seat of my machine, spooning,’’ sald Willams. “T had driven the car into Lovers’ lane, which is not a regular park rvoadway, and had stopped, so we could talk »et- ter. Miss Bray had been telling me about her visi: to the San Francisco “Expos!- tion, from which she returned a few days ago. Tells of the Duel. “Because of the cold, I had drawn the curtains-of the car. The side lamps were burning, and by their light Miss Bray first saw a man ap- proaching the machine on the’ right. Oh, look, Jerry,’ she said to m Jer- is my nickname. As he got up close I saw that he carried a re- volver, and that he wore a bandana handkerchief over his chin. “T had an automatic revolver under the front seat, with the muzzle dqwn, but I did not have time to reach it, when the man waved his revolver and told me to hold up my hands. “‘Don’t shoot!’ I said, and waved my hands about. In doing this, |. managed to get my revolver, and then there came the robber’s first shot, which went through the dashboard and through my hat brim. “Then I began pumping my auto- matic. The man was so near—not more than five feet away—that it seemed to me most of my 8 bullets must° have hit him. He kept firing, though. I heard Miss Bray scream- ing, but I didn’t know then that she was wounded. “Don’t Shoot! You’ve Got Me.” “When I got out of the car I saw the man start to get up from the ground, but he lay back again and called ‘Don’t shoot, you’ve got me. He still held his revolver and while I thought it was probably empty, I didn't wish to take chances with him, or with any accom- lice he might have. So I hit him on the head with my automatic, and then he lay still.” Willams then returned to the car and found that Miss Bray had been shot, and, without further attention to the robber, he ran his car to a drug store at Union boulevard and Berlin avenue. There he rushed in excitedly, waving his revolver, and demanding that a doctog be called. He told policemen, who came soon afterward, where to find the wounded highwayman.

A. F. VERDICT OF $1600 FOR EJECTION FROM MIMER GARDEN O. H. Kepley Awarded Judg- ment Against Owners of Forest Park Highlands. WILLIAMS. A verdict for $1500 was returned today by a jury in Circuit Judge Henning’s court in favor of 0. H. Kepley of the Buckingham Hotel. manager of the American Multigraph Co., against the Fark Circuit and Realty Co., owner of Forest Park Highlands, for humiliation suffered by Kepley in being ejected from the amusement resort on the night of July 4 last. He sued for $7500. Clif- ford B. Nelson and R. B. Jones, who were in Kepley’s party of four men. all of whom were put out, have suits for $7300 pending against the company. The defense was that Kepley and his companions were acting in a boisterous manner and that officers stationed at the Highlands were forced to eject the men in the interest of good order. Kep- ley denied that their deportment was not proper. His party was singing col- lege songs and was told by an officer that the amusement company paid $89 a week for talent. Compjaint About Palm Reading. t was testified that a woman sat down at the same table with the Kepley party and the defense complained of her con- duct. It was asserted that she sat with her dress too high an’! that she held the hand of one of the men to read his palm. Kepley said the woman did not read his palm and that he did not notice how she was sitting. The defense also souxht to show that the plaintiff's party pounded with their steins on the table and then made a pyramid of the steins. Mrs. Gertrude Moon, who testified for the plaintiff's side, was cross-examined by Theodore Ragsieur, attorney for the company, in regard to a letter she wrote about the case: In th'‘s letter Mrs. Moon said she saw the conduct of the party and noticed that attenipts were made to catch. hold of a young woman who passed the table at which the Kepley party sat. She admitted she wrote the letter but said she was mistaken. “Blaming a Woman.” John M. Goodwin, attorney for the plaintiff, argued to the jury that the defense was trying to get out of the difficulty by blaming 2 woman. “It is no longer Forest Park Highlands but the Garden of Eden,”’ he said. He asserted that to be in accord with the defendant's notion of deportment one must be scber of countenance and carry @ prayer book upon entering the rezort.

Koenig Will Offer Resc- lution at Meeting of the Board on Friday. A resolution, asking a public investi- gation by the Board of Aldermen into the official conduct of City Assessor Frank -W. Schramm, .will be introduced in the Board, at its meeting Friday, by Otto G. Koenig, Alderman from the Twenty-seventh Ward, Koenig § an- nounced today at the city hall. The Board of Aldermen has the power, by a three-fourths vote, to remove an elective official. Two other Aldermen,’ Barney L. Schwartz of the Twenty-fifth Ward and E. E. Rudolph of the First Ward, also announced they would introduce a reso- lution urging the Schramm inquiry. The resolution, Alderman Koenig told a Post-Dispatch reporter, will ask that a committee of five Aldermen be ap- pointed Friday to begin*an tmmediate public hearing into the charges made this week against Assessor Schramm by William F. Mockler, who had been ap- pointed a District Assessor. Mockler recently made known the fact that Assessor Schramm, in appointing 12 Deputy Assessors last week, required each of them to write their resignations in advance, to be used at the Assessor's pleasure, and charged that Schramm asked him, in return for the favor of | appointing him a deputy, to look out for real estate business for the Schramm realty firm. Inquiry to Be Broad. The investigation, Alderman Koenig said, should cover not only the charges made by Mockler ‘but Assessor Schramm’s general conduct in relation to other subordinates in his office. “From what I have read the allega- tions against Schramm should be proved or disproved for the vatisfaction of the public and Schramm,” Alderman Koenig said. ‘They are serious «charges. If Asses- sor Schramm is guilty of asking a can- didate for Deputy Assessor to act as a real estate solicitor for his private iirm, he should be removed from public office. And if he is not guilty, it is only fair to him to have the charges threshed out and vindi@ate him.” Inquiry among Aldermen today 4dis- closed that a number of them took the same attitude as Alderman Koenig. They did not care to comment upon the con- troverry, as they will be in the position eof judges of Assessor Schramm's conduct in office. Mayor Kiel declared that although the charter empowered him to suspend an official, he was not thoroughly. fa- miliar “with the Schramm case, and that as far as he was atie to understand it, he did not think there was any ne- cessity cf susvending anyone. He said that as ihe duty of Investigating As- sessor Schrainni's conduct rests with the Board of Aldermen he would not suxgest to them what course they should take. “If Assessor Schramm is guilty of bav-) ing asked @ deputy to act as an agent for his private busines, that is bad, and he is not a public official,” the Mayor added. The Tenth Ward Improvement Asso- ciation also has announced it favors a public incuiry by the Aldermen into Schramm’s actm and the asso- ciation intended having such a resolu- tion introduced Friday. | AUSTRIA OFFERS NEW CONCESSIONS T0 PLACATE ITALY Additional Tenders of Terri- tory Are Said to Have Been Received by Foreign Minister and Sert to Council of Ministers.

The admiralty com- munication says: “A report from Turkish sources states that the submarine AE2 of the Aus- tralian navy was sunk April 30 while endeavoring to enter the Sea of Mar- mora and that her crew was captured. “Further reports from diplomatic channels at Athens say that three offi- cers and 17 men were taken prisoners out of a total of three officers and 2 men aboard the submarine. No com- munication having been received from this vessel since April 26, her loss musr be presumed.” AUSTRIAN OFFERS TO ITALY RECITED IN THE REICH STAG German Chancellor Tells of Ter- ritorial Concessions Proposed; Still Hopes Alliance Will Hold.

Ger- many and Austria-Hungary herewith formed a resolution which, if it should lead to results, would, I firmly believe, find an overwhelming majerity in the three nations. “With ifs Parliament, the Italian .peo- ple will now decide whether it will reach the fulfillment of all national aspirations in the widest extent in a peaceful man- ner, or whether it will plunge the coun- try into war and tomorrow draw the sword against its allies of yesterday and today. “I will not give up the hope entirely that the scale ©f peace will be heavier than the scale of war, but whatever the decision of Italy may be, we, together with Austria-Hungary, have done all within the bounds of possibility to sup- port an alliance which was firmly root- ed among the German people and had brought profit and good to the three em- pires. “If the alliance is torn by one of the three partners, we shall know, together with the other partner, how to meet the new dangers with dauntless confidence and courage.” The Imperial Chancellor’s speech was loudly applauded from the galleries.

The President of the Reichstag opened the sitting by saying: “We begin our work inspired with full confidence which is justified by the course of events up to the present, with- out vanity, but with steadfast determ!i- nation which has its root in unity and the fustice of our course. ‘The German people is looking forward quietly to the future, which must bring the develop- ment of all our forces for the good and greatness of our beloved fatherland.”’ OnKesg Peanut Bar, 17¢ Lb.

When completed it will first be laid hefore the Kaiser, Gen. von Falken- hayne, the Chief of Staff, and Ad- miral von Tirpitz before being delivered to Ambassador Gerard. Admiral von Tirpitz arrived in Berlin yesterday from Kiel and Wilhelmshafen, where he has been making a tour of in- spection of the naval harbors. It may be assumed that he will be taken into conference regarding the answer. I can say that I found no disposition to seek deliberately a conflict with Amer- ica, as has been represented at home. “Germany is not quite that mad,” was the smiling comment of one high official on this suggestion. None the less, there is no indication that the critical point of the answer will be other than expression of regret, in the most polite and friendly language, in a tone equally cordial with Presi- dent Wilson's own, that Germany can- not fulfill his hopes. From all I can wather, it is apparently evident that the Government is weighing carefully ail the possible consequences of such an answer. The reply, however, is likely to leave the door open to a further exchange. It seems to be pretty generally recog- nized in this instance that there is a firm hand in Président Wilson's velvet | se Tt ia Genied that there will be a, | ministerial council on the answer before it is given to Ambassador Gerard. SUBMARINE SINKS PASSENGER SHIP First folo WASH Submarine Norwegian Vessel, Driven Off by German Raider, Saves People on British Steamer. CARDIFF, Wales, May 19.—The 2557- ton British steamer Drumcree, which ‘eft Barry yesterday, has been torpe- doed in the English Channel. Her pas- sengers and crew were saved. It was only on account of the bravery shown by the crew of a Norwegian steamer that the passengers and crew were rescued. The Drumecree first was torpedoed off the Cornish coast yester- day, but the projectile failed to sink her. She was taken in tow by the Norwegian steamer, but the submarine started in pursuit and the Norwegian cast her off. A second torpedo finished the Drumcree. She was sinking rapidly when the Nor- wegian vessel returned and took off those aboard. The steamer Drumcree was built in Sunderland in 190. She was of 2657 ‘ons. law Bars Explosives on Liners, Not SmaN Arms and Ammunition. WASHINGTON, May 19.—The claim has been advanced by some of the de- fenders of Germany that the Lusitania was carrying explosives, in contraven- tion of the United States law, and that her rapid sinking was due to an explo- sion of this portion of her cargo. The law forbids the taking on board of nitro- glycerin, dynamite or other explosive or gunpowder, except for the ship’s use. or articles likely to endanger the health or lives of the passengers or the safety of the véssel. March 4, 1911, the Solicitor of the De- ‘partment of Commerce ruled that the law permitted the carrying of small arms and ammunition. — ee ee — ee — _ ARMY HAT CONTRACTS SCORED United Hatters Say Government Is Defrauded, Demand Investigation.

The resolutions charged that the Government was being defrauded and that while the Government paid only $1.10 for the army hat, it should cost $1.25 to manufacture it according to specifications.

LONDON, May 19.—Continuing his Story of the three days’ battle of Achi Baba from May 6 to 3% the British rress representative with the allied forces the Dardanelles, after describing the battlefleld and declaring that- not a Turk nor a Turkish trench was Visible, added: “Only the allied forces, the English on the left, the French on the right, the British colonials and territorials and the French foreign legivun in reserve were to be seen. * * * Time and again long waves of French colonials swept forward, but no sooner did they leave the shelter of their trenches than the Turks, who had been iying atsolutely quiet, opened up a treirendous fire from concealed trenches. * * * Turks Could Not Be Shaken Out. “Eacl? day’s attacks were preceded by furious shell fire from the warships, but the Turks could not be shaken, and our infantry advances met such an iron hail that the line wavered and then broke. The fire which the Turks developed was undesirable and it was im) ossibie to lo- cate their batteries.’’ Describing the third day’s fighting, the correspondent says: “At 5:15 o'clock in the afternoon there suddenly opened from every ship afloat and battery ashore the most stupendous bombardment ever witnessed. Fifteen- inch and 12-inch shelis charged with lyddite caused the most terrible explo- sions, apparently consuming entire hills. Smaller shells, both lydd{te and shrap- nel, searched every yard of the slopes and sprayed the country between Achi Baba and our trenches. The noise was frightful, the hills echoing the detona- tions of thousands of projectiles. “The whole region did not have the appearance of being shelled but seemed as if it had suddenly been set afire. It was covered with a solid bank of yellow, green and white smoke whence number- less volcanoes burst into eruption. The bombardment lasted a quarter hour. Ac- cording to all preconceived notions, the enemy should have been wiped out and incapable of resisting an infantry ad- vance. Not a single Turk was visible and their artillery had not fired a round.

Enemy Waiting and Ready. “In spite of all this artillery prepara- tion, however, the enemy was waiting and ready. No sooner had our men emerged than a storm of rifle and ma- chine gun fire was opened on them. But our troops never hesitated. The New Zealanders and Australians particularly charged with bayonets straight into the Turkish line. The manner in which these Dominion troops went forward never will be forgotten by witnesses who saw them melt away under the dreadful fusillade only to be renewed again as reserves and supports moved forward to replace the fallen. “At length a point was reached from which no further advance was possible and each man lay down-and dug himsel?y in. It became obvious that the attack had spent its force. Only a few hundred yards had been won and the hope of taking Krithia by direct assault had to be abandoned.” Describing the scene of the battle the correspondent writes: “It was a battlé of the old-fashioned type, where the commanders could 4di- rect the movements of their troops by telephone, on the basis of what they could watch going on under their eyea. The objective was to Zain possession of the height of Achi Baba. This mountain has a peculiar and forbidding aspect. It closely resembles an old Chinese idol, with a great, round, stupid-looking head, two stout, thick-set shoulders and two long arms stretching out on either side to the sea. From the hill above the beach a perfect view is obtainable of the entire battlefield. “All the trenches occupied by the al- lied troops in the firing line. the long lines of supports and the closer forma- tion of reserves were visible. Spectators could watch our every movement on a chess board of war, but that of the enemy. Not a Turk nor a Turkish gun nor a Turkish trench was visible.” Continuous Gain in Dardanelles Claimed in British Review.

BERLIN, via London, May 19.—Last, evening's newspapers, discussing the American note to Germany, are agreed that it is impossible for Germany to abandon her submarine warfare. Vari- ous papers point out what they regard as the inconsistency of the Washington Government “in asserting against Ger- many the right of American citizens to g0 wherever they please on the seas, but abandoning that right against En- giand” and also in admitting ‘‘the legal- ity of England’s declaration of a war zone but protesting against Germany's submarine zone.’’ It is further pointed out by the news- papers that the American note admits the right of German vessels to search British vessels and to capture them if they are carrying contraband. But it is declared that Washington must know this right is rendered illustory through England’s course of arming merchant- men and ordering them to ram subma- rines “by which Capt. Otto Weddigen Germany’s submarine commanders who sank the Hogue, the Cressy an dthe Aboukir) lost his life. The newspapers complain that the note is fully in accord with the English standpoint that the Lusitania was 4 harmless merchant vessel and ignores the fact that she was armed and car- rying munitions. The Kreuz Zeitung asserts that Germany was thoroughly right in demanding that neutrals avoid the war zone. The Taglische Rundschau says: “Owing to the presence on board the Lusitania of ammunition, which men- aced the lives of many thousand Ger- man soldiers, it was not only Germany's right, but her duty, to sink this auxil- iary cruiser, which was bringing ammu- nition to England and using American citizens as a shield for carrying con- traband. More sacred than the lives of neutrals are the lives of our com- patriots, our brave troops who. would long since have ended the war if Amer- ica had not prolonged it by the profit- able export of arms to our enemies. “America, as always is proud of her sober reasonableness, and when English mendacity has abated she will say that Gerinany violated no American rights, but acied according to right and duty as she was obliged to act.’’ The Vossische Zeitung says: “If America succeeds in bringing it about that British merchant vessels shall no longer sail under false flags, that England shall cease arming . mer- chant vessels and that contraband car- goes shall no longer be protected by American passengers, then the United States will find Germany on her side in an endeavor to lead submarine war into more humane channels. If Amer- ica fails to influence Great ‘Britain thus, the United States will have to put up with submarine war as at pres- ent waged. She must take care that her citizens enter as little into the naval war zone as they would into the firing line near Arras, Lille or Przemysl.”’ ENGLAND EXTENDS LIMIT FOR SHIPMENT OF GERMAN GOODS Americans Given Until June 15 to Get Consignments Purchased Before March 1. WASHINGTON, May 19.—The British Government today gave notice to the State Department that it had extended to June 15 the time within which Ger- man goods may be shipped to America, from neutral ports, provided they were purchased before March 1 last. Soon after the issue of the order in council the British Government under- took to allow the export of German and Austrian goods which had been bought by Americans through neutral ports, such as Holland and Denmark, upon the issue of a special permit in each case. Under the terms of these permits shipments must be made before June 1 and today’s notice extended that period 15 days. Complaint of continued detention of cotton cargoes in British ports are said at the British embassy to be due in many cases to the failure of the Amerit- can shippers to state the contract price of the cotton, a necessary factor in view of the right reserved by the British pGovernment to purchase such cargoes. WELLSTON MAN, A PIANIST, DIES IN EDWARDSVILLE JAIL imd Came Before Relatives Could Be Cor_municated With—Chcarge of Forgery Caused Arrest. John Norris, 28 years old, of Wellston, a pianist, died last night in the jail at Edwardsville, Ill., after pleading with the jailer to summon his father to his bedside. Norris died before his relatives could be communicated with. The Cor- oner’s jury is expected to return a ver- dict of death from alcoholism. E. C. Mason, proprietor of Lakeside Park, a summer resort at Horseshoe Lake, three miles from Granite City, had Norris arrested last Saturday on a charge of forgery. He said that he em- ployed Norris three weeks ago as a pianist, and that a week later he sent Norris to mail several letters, one of which contained a check. Mason later learned that the check was missing. Norris did not return tc the park, and was arrrested in St. Louis. DYER FOR -FORTIFYING HAWAII Congressman L. C.

MAJOR WILL NOT COMMENT ON PAINTER’S PAROLE RECORD Simply Says Lieutenant-Governor Is “esponsible for His Own Acts While Acting Governor. JEFFERSON CITY, May 19.—Gov. Major today refused to comment upon Lieutenant-Governor Painter's remark- able parole record, in which % convicts were paroled and one was pardoned Curing the three weeks the Governor was out of the State. He said Lieuten- ant-Governor Painter was solely re sponsible for his official deeds while acting Governor. When asked if he would make a state- ment concerning Painter’s policy of re- leasing convicts from the penitentiary without the consent or recommendation of the State Board of Pardons, Gov. Major said: ‘‘ I have no comment to make on Lieutenant-Governor Painter's official acts. He alone is responsible for them. It has been my policy to leave those questions almost entirely to the discretion of the Pardon Board, but I do not care to make any criticism of Lieutenant-Governor Painter’s actions.” SECOND MAN CONVICTED OF NATURALIZATION FRAUD Henry Reich Was Charged With Mak- ing False Affidavit in Behalf of Brother-in-Law,. Henry Reich was convicted today by a jury in the U. 8. District Court on a charge of making false affidavits to aid his brother-in-law, Anton Slodkiswicz, to obtain naturalization papers. August Gorka, a friend of Slodkiswicz, was convicted Monday on the same charge. Slodkiswicz, after testifying in Reich's behalf yesterday, came into court near adjournment, and changed his plea to guilty. He was charged specifically with making an affidavit that he had lived in Missouri for a year prior to application for naturalization, as required by law, while testimony showed he had been here a shorter period. The Government also contended that Slodkiswicz was not a man of good moral character, as court records showed that in 1907 he was convicted on a statutory charge. Judge Dyer de- ferred sentence.

Rogers, chairman of tne Efficiency Board, addressing’ the Citr Club at luncheon today, said that poll- ticlans had sought to bring the board Into ridicule by representing that it re- quired mental and “literary” tests of unskilled laborers. He sald all stories to this effect were absolutely false, and that unskilled laborers were not required even to know how to read and write. But the board, he said, is determined to carry out the charter provisions by giv- ing unskilled laborers, as well as others, such a test as shall show their fit- ness for the work they have to do. Civil Service Men Speak. Hermon W. Craven of Seattle and Charlies M. Galloway of South Caro- lina, national civil service commission- ers, and Charles Hendricks, secretary of the commission for the Ninth Dis- trict, stationed in St. Louis, spoke after Rogers. Rogers’ talk was of especial interest because of his recent semi-controversy with Mayor Kiel over some details of the board’s examinations, and because of the charges made by Rogers in an interview in the Post-Dispatch, that politicians were trying to nullify the civil service provision of the new char ter. ‘In everything the board has tried to do,” said Rogers, in his City Club talk, ‘“‘we have met some obstacle. We can feel and see the obstacle, but we don’t always know who's in the rear shoving, though we can guess. Stories Are Untrue “An effort is being made—by whom it is not hard to figure—to keep unskilled laborers from being included tn the clag- sified service. That is, it is desired to have laborers put on without any test. For that reason, the stories of mental and literary tests for day laborers have been circulated, stories which are abso- lutely false.” Rogers displayed application blanks, which state that another person may sign for an applicant who cannot write, to disprove the “literary” test stery. But he said the board was determined that every such applicant should show himself fit for the rought work he would have to do if appointed. He need not be a Hercules, Rogers said, but he must have adequate sight, hearing and physical ability, whether he is a first- class unskilled laborer or a white wing, Opposed by Organisations, “Thé Democratic organisation,” he remarked, “is just as much opposed te the proper carrying out of this previ- sion as the other. Both organisations know that if unskilled labor is open, as in the 4614 system, they cannot counnt on 3000 to 3600 votes, at every election, from men who are held tn these jobs by political influence.” : NEGROES ROB MAN OF SI76 Twre Follow Him From Saleen end Attack Him in Street.

By Agrociated Press. LONDON, May 19.--Premier Asquith announced in the House of Commons to- day that steps were in contemplation which involved a reconstruction of the Government upon a broader personal and political basis. The Premier said: “Nothing has been definitely ar- ranged as yet, but in order to avoid any possible misapprehension I wish to make clear here and now three things. “First, any changes will not affect the osition of the Prime Minister or of the ilies Secretary; second, there will be no change in the policy of the country as regards the continued prosecution of the war with all possible energy and by means of every available resource, and third and last, and of great importance to the honorable friends behind me, and I have no doubt, to the opposition, is this: that may be made will be for the pur- poses of the War alone and is not to be taken in any quarter or for any reas6n as indicating anything in the nature of a surrender or a compromise on the part of any person or pody of persons of their several political ideals. “This is as far as I can go. Nothing definite yet has taken place, but if any arrangement is made the House will have the fullest opportunity of express- ing its views.’ In Interest of the Nation, The references of the Premier to the prosecution of the war were greeted with loud and prolonged cheering. The Prime Minister was followed by Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the Opposition, who said: "T think it only necessary to say on behalf of my friends and self that at the stage this has reached, our only consideration in regard to the further steps to be.taken is what is the best method of finishing the war successfully and we leave out of our minds abso- slutely all considerations, political and otherwise beyond that. ' “Of course if such an arrangement should take place it is obvious our con- victions on other subjects will remain unchanged, and will be settled when the war is over.” Meaning of the Changes. Speaking in the Guild Hall today, at a meeting called to thank the colonies publicly for the way they have rallied to the help of the mother country, An- drew Bonar Law, opposition leader in the House of Commons, referring to the possibility of political changes in the Government, said: “Such a combination would be use- less, and perhaps worse than useless, except as a means to a combination of the nation—a nation organized from top to bottom for the purpose of endinng this war.” Law spoke from the same platform as Premier Asquith, the latter also having addressed the Colonial meeting. The Cabinet changes have been precip- fiated by Baron John Fisher of Kilver- stone, Admiral of the Fleet and First Bea Lord of the Admiralty, who was brought from retirement in the early months of the war to take office, for the sole reason that he possessed the confidence of the navy as no other Brit- ish seaman did. Lord Fisher, since the commencement of, the Dardanelles expe- dition, has found himself continually at odds with his civilian chief, Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty. These gifferences eventually became #o acute that Lord Fisher has handed in his resignation, and in doing so, has forced the Liberal ministry—already weakened from a variety of causes—the failure of the Lioyd-George anti-drink program, the reported inability of the army to secure urgently needed ammu- nition, and others—to accept the aid of the Unionists. } Some of the Contingenci¢s. -tHished himself or became a partner in 1¢ Redmond overiding this position is that the present situation is ertirely unpre- cedented and that home rule is as good as in effect now. —_# stil retains his place liquor stores in our coal mines. “To clean up the saloons and, with them fambling halls and houses of prostitution, has been one of the things that Mr. Welborn and I have devoted an enormous amount of time to during the last five years.

Bowers, chief counsel for Theodore | Roosevelt, today summed up in the Supreme Court here the case of the de- fense in William Barnes’ suit for libel. He assailed the truth of many of the statements made on the witness stand by the plaintiff and presented arguments to the jury designed to show that his client was justified in saying the things he did avout the former chairman of the Republican State Committee. The .lawyer contended that the suit was not brought with the purpose of obtaining pecuniary damages but in reality was a ‘‘game to lower the de- fendant before the people of the United States.’’ Counsel for Barnes were to sum during the afternoon session. Justics William S. Andrews will de- hver his charge to the jury tomorrow morning, according tc the present plans In that event the case will be in the hands of the jury before noon tomorrow. On the opening of court Henry L. Wolf, of counsel for Barnes, made a motion to strike from the record evi- dence regarding printing elicited from Barnes on cross-examination. The mo- tion was denied. Directed Verdict Asked. A motion that the jury be directed to find a verdict for the plaintiff was then made. This was based primarily upon the ground that no evidence in justifica- tion had been offered for various por- tions of the alleged libelous article which the Court had held tc be libel per se. Wolf called particular attention ,to that part of the article upon which the suit was based in which Barnes’ name was linked with that of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany, and in which it was stated that Murphy was ‘‘aided and abetted” by Barnes. Wolf also laid par- ticular emphasis on the fact that much of thé evidence offered in justification was based on alleged happenings of many years ago. Justice Andrews, in reply, said he would restrict the jury’s consideration to two charges—the general charge that there was a corrupt alliance between Barnes and Murphy and that Barnes worked through an alliance between crooked business and crooked politics. up Outlines His Charge. In regard to the first charge, Justice Andrews said the jury had a right to consider the evidence in regard to the alleged combination that is claimed to have resulted in the deadlock of 1911 over the election of a United States Senator. In regard to the second charge he said the justification seemed to be based on evidence regarding con- versations between the plaintiff and de- fendant about 15 years ago. The motion to direct the jury to find a verdict in favor of the plaintiff was then denied. Justice Andrews later remarked that no question of privilege would be sub- mitted to the jury. The fact, he said, that there was a political campaign in progress at the time of the publication of the alleged libel made no difference and if the facts stated in the article were vot true, then the individual named in the article had been libeled. If guch was the case, the jury, he added, must then determine the amount of punitive damages. Bowers then began to sum up for the defense, Colonel on Stang Vesterday. Col. Roosevelt yesterday on the stand told what he represented to be the true details of an interview he had about a year ago with John W. Hutchinson Jr.,.a New York lawyer, who swore on the witness stand last week that the former President had told him that ‘the Republican party is not big enough to hold Mr. Barnes and myself.” In regard to that quotation the Colonel Almost shouted that it was false. He said he did tell Hutchinson that he was willing, during the last guber- natorial election in this State, to sup- port a Republican candidate who would wage war on Republican gnd Demo- cratic “‘crookedness,”” but that he could not be expected to come back into the Republican party as long as it was “dominated by men of the stamp of Mr. Barnes.” The Colone! flatly contradicted Barnes’ testimony about the talk in the White House over the Agnew-Hart racing bill, and about many other things. He re- iterated with added emphasis his state- ment that Barnes had told him of men identified with big business interest» who had contributed large sums -of money to both parties. The Colonel was most active on the witness stand.

Schramm, in selecting 12 of the 20 eligible candidates, recommend- ed for deputies by the Efficiency Board, has chosen nine Democrats and three hKepublicans. Mockler today reiterated that it was Assessor Frank Schramm, and not the Assessor’s son, William Schramm, who had invited him to look out for real estate business for the Schramm firm while acting as a Deputy Assessor, in return “for the favor’ of having been appointed by them to an $1800-a-year city position. Takes Blame. Assessor Schramm, in a statement to the Post-Dispatch late yesterday, had denied that he had made such.a state- ment to Mockler. The blame for the statement was shouldered by William Schramm, the Chief Deputy Assessor. Young Schramm, in explanation of the incident, said he made the request 2f Mockler last Saturday morning while seated at his own desk, which, he said, is 100 feet from his father’s private desk in the Assessor's office at the city hall. When told of young Schramm’s state- ment, Mockler said the conversation oc- curred in Assessor Frank Schramm’s private office at the city hall, and that young Schramm was present when the elder Schramm made the request to hin about throwing any real estate business he could to the Schramm realty firm. He said the conversation took place Friday morning, and not Saturday morning, as younz Schramm had declared. Assessor I, Reticent.

When told of Mockler’s reiteration of his charge yesterday, Chief Deputy Will Schramm, in the presence of his father, said he would denounce the state- ment as a lie if Mockler should make it in his presefce. Assessor Schramnr did not visit his of- fice at the city hall yesterday until about.,3 p. m., and could not be found by reporters at the real estate office, 919 Chestnut street, in the morning. When he arrived at the city hall, he indicated that he did not desire to dis- cuss the Mockler incident, and answered questions with few words. When asked why he had returned resignations with blank date to lil Deputy Assessors yesterday, after the Mockler incident became public, the As- sessor said. ‘It was only intended to hold those resignations until thé appoint- ment of each man was approved and his | bond was filed. As soon as the men qual- ified and teok the oath before the City Register, I returned their resignations.”’ When reminded that on Monday he had told a reporter that it was his purpose to hold the blank resignations during the continuance in office of deputies in order to avoid the unpleasantness of having to dismiss men, Assessor Schramm added: ‘‘Well, that was an- other reason for requesting the resigna- tions.”’ Assessor Schramm has announced the appointment of Walter F. Freimuth, % Republican and an insurance solicitor, to the vacancy created by the with- drawal of Mockler. Freimuth ranked tenth in the eligible list provided by the Efficiency Board after competitive ex- aminations. Mockler ranked second, with an average of 92.6, just one-tenth of a point below the first man.. He served two terms as a District Assessor under Mayor Wells, from 1998 to Wil, and is now a member of the publicity depart- ment of the Bell Telephone Co. GAS COMPANY SUED FOR $15,000 Asa J.

ST LOUIS POST-DISPATCH BRITISH IN FIELD EXPECT TWO TOFOUR YEARS OF WAR, POST-DISPATCH MAN FINDS \ Army Beginning to Realize It Is an Amateur - Fighting the Professional Champion, He Writes From the Front. _——_-oo By. E. Alexander Powell, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and New York Werld. - (Copyright, 1915, by Press Pub. Co.) F BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 19.—Along a road in the outskirts of that French town which is the British headquarters, a young man was running. He was considerably less than medium height and fair-haired and very slender. One would have described him as a nice-looking boy. He wore a jersey and white running shorts, which left his knees bare, and he was bare- headed. Shoulders, back and chest well out, he jogged along at the steady dog trot adopted by athletes and prize fighters who are in training. Now, in ordinary times, there isn’t anything particularly remarkable in seeing a scantily clad young man dog- trotting along a country road. You as- sume that he is traintng, and you let it go at that. But these are not ordi- nary times in France, and ordinary young men in running shorts are not permitted to trot along the roads as they like in the immediate vicinity of the British headquarters. Even if you travel as I did in a large gray car with an officer of the French general staff for companion, you are halted ev- ery few minutes by a sentry, who turns the business end of his rifle in your direction and demands to see your pa- pers. No One Challenge@g Runner. But no one challenged the young man ia the runing shorts, or demanded to see hie papers. Instead, whenever a soldier ceught sight of him that soldier clicked his heels together and stood rigidly at attention. After you had observed the curious effect which the eppearance of this young man produced on the military of all ranks it suddenly struck you that his face was strangely familiar. Then you remembered that you had seen it eae nated mamomiapeecenneanaretantaraentiint cap _——- 1 W as art fh hiskers- *-* ee een gf oa gt ‘ .

Training for Battie. Now, the future King of England is not getting up at daybreak these chilly spring mornings and reeling off a half a dozen miles or so because he particu- larly enjoys it. He is doing it for pre- cisely the same reason that the prize fighter does it—he is training for battle. To me there was something wonder- fvlly significant and characteristic in the sight of that young man plugging doggedly along a. country road. He scemed to epitomize the spirit which { found to exist along the whole length of the British battle line. Every sol- dier in France has come to realize that he is engaged in a struggle without parallel In history. a struggle in which he is confronted by a formidable, fe- roclous and resourceful opponent, and frum which he is by no means certain to emerge a victor; and he Is therefore methodically and systematically pre- pearing to win that struggle just as a pugilist prepares himself for a battle in the prize ring. Every British soldier in France has come to a realization of the terrible gravity of the situation that faces him. You don’t hear him singing ‘‘Tipperary”’ any more, or boasting about what he is going to do when he gets to Berlin. He has come to have a most profotind re- spect for the fighting qualities of the men in the spiked helmets. He knows that he, an amateur boxér. us it were, is up against the world’s heavyweight professional champion, and he realizes, to use hts own expression. that he has “one hell of a job” in front of him. He has already found to his cost and to his great disgust that his opponent has no intention of being ham- pered by the rules laid down by the late Marquis of Queensberry. One of these days, however, when he is quite ready, he expects to give that opponent the surprise of his life by landing on him with both feet, spikes on his shoes and brass knuckles on_ his fingers. Meanwhile, like the young Prince in the running shorts, he has buckled down with grim determination to the task of getting himself into condition. I suppose that, if I were really politic and far-sighted, I would cuddle up to the War Office and make myself solid with the General Staff by confidently asserting that the British army is the most efficient killing machine in exist- ence, and that its complete and early triumph is as certain as that sparks fly upward. Neither of these assertions would be true, though in saying. this I am perfectly aware that I am inviting the blue pencil of censors. Marvel in Military History, It should be borne in mina that the British did not begin the building of their war machine until about nine months ago, while the German organi- zation is the result of upwards of half . century of unceasing thought experi- ment and endeavor. But what the Brit ish have accomplished in these nino months is one of the marvels of military history. ; The machine that they have knocked together, though still a trifle wabbly end somewhat creaky in its joints, is 1 am convinced, eventually going to mn the business. It struck me as having all, or nearly all, of the merits of the German organization, with element added. You can’t really appreciate what this British war machine is like or what it is accomplishing by reading about it. You have to see it for yourself, as I did. And it is by no means easy to see, either, for along the thirty-odd miles of battle front held by the Brit- igh, war corespondents are about welcome as the smallpox. For miles and miles roads are lined with huge English lorries, in their war coat of elephant gray, with converted London busses and with ambulances, until you begin to wonder if there are any automobiles left in England. Traffic Police and Speed Laws. So crowded are the highways behind the British front that at the street corners in the towns and at the cross roads in the country are posted mili- ary police, with scarlet flags who con- trol the traffic, just as do the police- the human as men in American cities. The roads are never permitted to fall into despair. Road gangs and steam rollers are constantly at work. There are speed limits signs posted every where, heretofore practically unknown in France, where anyone who was care- less enough to get run over was liable to arrest for obstructing the traffic. At frequent intervals along the roads are blacksmith shops and automobile repair stations. On the door of every house, whether cottage or chateau, is marked in chalk the number of men whe can be billeted in it. There are signs indicating where water can be obtained and fodder and pasturage. The things that interest most, however, were the transports. That “an army marches on its belly” is as true today as when Na- poleon said it; and the army service corps is keeping filled the belly of the Rritish soldier. It is, by the way, a sig- nificant fact that, while the efficiency of the British transports is steadily in- creasing, that of the Germans is, be- cause of shortage of rubber and the poor quality of its gasoline, as steadily de- creasing. The work being done by the army medical corps is no less remarkable than that of ite sister branch of the service The business of getting the wounded from the firing line to the hospitals has been so systematized and speeded up that, as one Tommie remarked, “You ‘ears a ‘ell of a noise, and then the nurse says, ‘Sit up and take this broth.’ "’ The Spirit That Counts. ; But no matter how systematically the army service corps may deliver marma.- fade and cartridges to the trenches, and no matter how quickly the army medica! corps may get the, wounded from those trenches into the surgeon's hands, the thing that really counts, when all is said and done, is the spirit of the men themeel ves.

He is not jan adventurer; he is a crusader. With him it is a deadly serious business. He has not enlisted because he wanted to enlist or because he had to, but because he felt he ought to. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred he has left a family, a comfortable home and a good job behind him. And unlike the stay-at-homes in England, he doesn’t make the mistake of underrating his enemy. He knows that the headlines which ap- pear regularly in the English papers, exultantly announcing ‘‘Another British Advance” are buncombe. He knows that it isn’t a question of advance but of hanging on. He knows that he will have to fight with every ounce of fight there is in him if he is to remain where he is now. He knows that before the Ger- mans can be driven out of Belgium, much less across the Rhine, all En- gland will be wearing crepe. Knows Enemy Is Not Weakening. He knows that there is no truth in the reports that the enemy is weakening. He knows it because hasn’t he nly thrown himself in successive aves against the unyielding wall of He knows that it is going to be a long war.

It stated if they were injected into State or national politics they brought disruption and rendered con- structive legislation impossible. The Grogan letter has been construed in Kentucky to mean the writer favored statewide prohibition. Text of the Two Letters. The Shannon letter was written in response to a letter frdém the Rev. Thomas B. Shannon, superintendent of the Antis Saloon League in New Jer- sey. .It is as follows: I am in favor of local option. I am a thorough believer of local self- government and belleve that every self-governing community which con- stitutes a social unit should have the right to control the matter of the regulation or withohlding of licenses. So far as I myself am concerned, therefore, I can never consent to have the question of local option made an issue between political par- ties in this State. My judgmeuit is very clear in this matter The Grogan letter was written to E. W. Grogan of Byers, Tex., July 6, 1911, in the heat of the state-wide dry cam- paign there. It was published in Home and State, edited by the Rev. Dr. D. D. Rankin of Dallas, in the interest of the prohibition cause, and was also printed in several daily papers in Texas, and created a profound sensation. In the letter the then Gov. Wilson said: I believe that for some states state-wide prohibition is possitle and desirable because of their relative homogeneity, while for others I think that state-wide prohibition is not practicable. I hava no reason to doubt, from what I know of the cir- cumstances, that state-wide prohibi- tion is both practicable and desirable in Texas. Were Interpreted Differently. In view of the widely divergent in- terpretations placed upon the two let- ters, W. B. Haldeman, editor of the Louisville Times, wrote the resident as follows: “Statewide prohibition has been made an issue by two of the candidates for the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion in Kentucky, and in that connec- tion the so-called Grogan letter is being used to imply that you approve of this principle in certain circumstances which are declared to fit the present Kentucky political situation. On the other hand the so-called Shannon letter is being used in an effort to prove that you stand for local self-government as a principle for Democrats to observe. “If you feel that the situation war- {WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1915. | SSSI - + 2 © : ” * - = --- — “ moe + in the wind, dust and glaring sunlight use Dr. Isaac Thompson's Eye Water.

Pv Associatea Press. MOHONK LAKE, N. Y., May 19.— John Bassett Moore, president of the Lake Mohonk Conference on Interna- tional Arbitration, made “International .Co-Operation” the subject of the .ad- dress which he delivered at the confer- ence today, and was given close atten- tion, in view of the fact that, as former counselor of the Department of State, Moore has had much practical experi- ence in handling matters of interna- tional concern. Moore referred to the fact that the ad- dress which he delivered before the con- ference last year had been reported as having a pessimistic tone in regard to the value of present treaties of arbitra- tion. “Upon this interpretation,"’ said Moore, “nerhaps no comment is necessary be- yond that which is furnished by the tragic events that have since occurred: “These events inculcate the importance of facing candidly the realities of life and the grave problems which they in- volve. The tendency of the human mind, running in advance of results, to treat as an accomplished fact that which it desires to bring about, may often exert in the affairs of life a useful and help- ful influence; but when, following the ‘illusions of hope,’ it bids us close our eyes to actual conditions and to rely in comfortable security upon safeguards that either do not exist or are so de- fective as to be practically non-existent, it may become a peril as well as a hin- drance to wise and essential effort:’’ Co-Operative Spirit Lacking. Pointing out that, although a world court had been-established at The Hague 16 years ago, the spirit of co-operation has been lacking to support it and make it effective, Moore discussed some of the necessary steps to secure interna- tional co-operation. “At the present day,’’ he said, ‘‘the world is groping about for something which will establish a reign of law among nations similar to that which ex- ists within each individual state. It is evident that the first condition is the regulation of the conception of nation- ality. Exaggerated to.the point where it either subordinates human rights to supposed national interests, or regards the interests of humanity as being ca- pable of realization only through a par- ticular national agency, there can be no doubt that this conception directly in- cites to the transgression of the bounds of law and justice. “Neyertheless, when we come @ gna- iyze the conception of nationality, as expounded by the philosophers, we find its principal ingredients are largely imaginary.”’ The principle that every independ- ent nation has the right to declare war and, having declared it, to as- sume the rights of conquest, Moore anid, would have to be restricted be- fore there was anything like a reign of law among nations. International Police. “Far more difficult than the statement of the object to be attained is the formu- lation and application of measures to carry it into effect. Here again it is of the first importance to grasp in its de- tails the problem with which we are dealing. During the past 10 years we have, for instance, often been assured that what the world needs is an arbitra- tion tribunal and an ‘international po- lice’ to enforce its awards. This state- ment seems to disclose both a miscon- ception of fact, and an incomplete grasp of conditions. The misconception of fact is the supposition that the evil from which the world today suffers is the disregard of arbitral awards. In reality, arbitral awards have been remarkably well observed. The actual problem with which the world is confronted is how to induce nations to accept not the results but the process of arbitration. “The proposal for an ‘international po- lice’ requires a more extended examina- tion. The underlying idea of an inter- national police appears to be that of a force to compel all states, without re- gard to their strength or weakness, to observe international law; and; when so extended, the proposal is at once seen to be closely connected with the question of the limitation, or of the development, as the case may be, of national arma- ments. “How large a force, it may be asked, would have to be maintained in order effectually to hold in check any of the great Powers of Europe if their nation- al armaments were continued on the scale of the past 2 years? It is manifest that it would have to be practically overwhelming unless it were merely to have the effect of the great armaments of Europe today in involving in hostil- ities a larger number of men and mak- ing armed conflict more bloody and more costly. Can't Rely on Force Alone. “The fact cannot be too often or too strongly stated that, for the preserva- tion of order, national or international), we cannot rely upon force alone. Force is not an end; it is merely the means to an end. Situations often arise i, which the resort to forcible measures tends to provoke conflict rather than to prevent it. Economic pressure may in many instances be far more efficacious than attempt at direct coercion; nor are proofs wanting that forbearance may sometimes be more effective than either. even leading to the eventual acceptance of wise solutions which were in the heat of controversy rejected. We must not forget that, back of all effort, moral or physical, lie the feelings, the sentiments, the aspirations of humanity; and it is only by the organization of forces, moral and physical, in such manner as to assure justice and contentment through co-operation, that widespread outbreaks of violence can be avoided. ‘Jo order to attain this end, it would be necessary to provide for the employ- ment of three different kinds of agen- cies, which may be designated by the o. ‘ /s titles arbitration, r) : ’ ‘WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 191% °"¥* Femme. - 0): -—~ conciliation, legisla- tion. Judicial Process. “Arbitration represents the judicial process. As defined in The Hague Con- vention for the Pacific Settlement of In- ternational Disputes, ‘international ar- bitration has for its object the settle. ment of differences between states by judges of their own choice, on the basis of respect for law.’ With the object of facilitating the immediate recourse to this process, the convention provided for the establishment of a ‘permanent court of arbitration, accessible at all times,’ and proceeding in accordance with defi- nite rules, for the establishment of an- other or additional tribunal differently constituted. “The fact is generally admitted that for the preservation of peace and order judicial methods will not alone suffice. Even though it be demonstrable that international arbitration may be car- ried, because it has been carried, far beyond the limits set in some of our general treaties of arbitration, it is, nevertheless, true that the judicial pro- cess is not adequate to all the needs of international life. It often happens that differences can be effectually adjusted only by the removal of their causes, and this may require the exercise of a power and discretion beyond the application of existing rules. The exercise of such a power would properly be vested in a tribunal of conciliation. No Nation Above the Law ‘In the formation of an international organization, provision for the defini- tion and improvement of the rules of international intercourse would form av important and essential part. A step In this direction was taken in the peace conference at The Hague, but it fell far short of what is necessary to make the legislative process effective. This is par- ticularly the case in respect of the power to enact rules of law. In The Hague conferences unanimity was nec- essary to the establishment of a ruie binding on all the Powers; and even in the treaties relating to the conduct of war, it was provided that they shoul not be obligatory unless all the parties to the particular conflict had ratified them.* It.is probably true that, if there were allowed to each independent statc, as has heretofore been done, a single vote, a mere majority rule would be quite unacceptable. “While I am not so much disturbed as many persons seem to be by the QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets.

The requirement of unanim- ity must, however, be done away witc before an international lawmaking Power can be effectually established, and there, should be no difficulty in abolishing it, when the principle, so essential to international organization, is once accepted, that no nation is so high or so powerful-as to be above the law.”’ Dr. John Grier Hibben, president of Princeton University, stirred the con- ference by taking issue with pacificists who favor disarmament and by advo- cating a wise preparedness of our mili- tary forces in the United States. “I do not advocate preparedness for war,” he said, “but a preparedness against war—a preparedness which in the event of the catastrophe of war itself will prevent the enormous initial sacrifice of human lives which has char- acterized every war in which the United States has been engaged throughout our history. “T am not in sympathy with the peace propaganda which is being prosecuted in many of our schools, so far, at least, as it endeavors to quicken the peace of the young children the horrors or the economical losses of war.’’ Never in the 21 years of its existence had the Lake Mohonk conference heard such a call to arms. Locomotive Sparks Cause Fire. | Sparkes from a locomotive set fire to two vacant frame dwellings at 6143 and 6146 Amanda avenue, about 4 o'clock this morning. The damage was estimated at $750. The property is owned by John Dell, president of the Missouri Fire Brick Co. After trying Fruitola and Traxo, Mrs. L.‘C. Clark, 840 Melba St., Dal- las, Texas, wrote to the Pinus laboratories as follows: “I have been a sufferer from gall-stones, and Fruitola and Traxo was recommended and I am glad to say I took advantage of your most won- derful medicine, with wonderful résults.” Fruitola and Traxo are two remedies that are used in combination. Fruitola acts on the intestinal organs as a powerful lubricant, to the great relief of the patient. Traxo is a compound of splendid tonic properties, of special value in strengthening and weakened by constant suffering.

In the first scene George A. Naghanson depicted St. Louis standing at the foot of Art Hill, which he dubbed Heart Hill, telling in a prologue of his dream of a greater city. He saw Fred Gardner as a United States Senator, the fashionable Wednesday Club with a bar running full blast, the city with 3,000,000 inhabitants, ond the Sunday Post-Dispatch with 20,- 000,000 circulation. Royal Cutter as Gov. Major made his entrance in short golf pants, gave an exhibition of gubernatorial golf-playing with a secretary by his side to record the “immortal” sayings which fell from his lips. Matt Hanitey as Bryan then appeared, with fulsome praise for grape-juice. Next came Roger Gray as Billy Sunday. He sang a little ditty on the woes which would visit the city when Sunday came. “What are we all after—you and I?” ne exclaimed dramatically, with a wave wf his hand toward “Bryan’ and “‘Major."" Why it’s the money, money, money, that’s all.’’ A satire on Potash and Perlmutter followed. “Opera Mad,” an operatic melange, closed the first part. The rag-time prize fight in the secon: part brought Gray forth as Jess Willard and Dan Marble as Jack Johnson. While the fight was in progress all the char- acters shuffled their feet to rag-time until finally ‘“‘Willard’’ gently tapped Johnson on the chin, and the latter rose in the air, carried by visible wires. Han- ley, as John L. Sullivan, acted ag ref- eree. The final scene was a tango parlor, where Gray and Louise Allen gave a burlesque of Mordkin and Pavlowa. Clad in a gunny sack and with a mock wreath about his brow, Gray hopped, skipped and jumped about the stage as he pictured his divine love for the woodlarm:. mymph. The performance closed with ‘‘the sere- nade of nations,”’ in which the entire Cast sang patriotic airs. MAN FRACTURES SKULL TRYING TO GET INTO HIS OWN HOME Night Watchman Couldn’t Find Key So Climbed Pole ari Fell to Street. William Epperson, a night watchman, living at 614 Gratiot street, is at the city hospital with a fractured skull as a re- sult of trying to get into his own home this morning. His wife spent the night with rela- tives and left the key to the front door at the corner grocery, believing her hus- band would stop in there on his way home. Epperson did not stop at the store and when he found the door locked he climbed a telephone pole in the alley, in- tending to swing from a cross arm onto the roof of a summer kitchen and then crawl in through a second-floor window. When he reached the cross arm it broke and he fell into the alley. ELECTION AND FRAUD CASES FAIL 102 Kentucky Convictions Set Aside, Thousand Indictments to Be Dropped.

CLASS IS MISSING Only Fair Marks Have Been Made in Meets at Different Schools This Year. With the annual interscholastic track and field meet but a week and a half distant,.coaches of the local high schools, are making their final selections for the yearly outdoor “prep” classic. The meet will. be held on May.27, at Francis Field. It had been planned to stage the games at the new Scholastic Field, but suf- ficient time to build the track was lacking. Judging from the marks set in ths early season dual meets and schoo! field days, the high school crop of track performers seems to_be quite lacking—that is in merit. With but few exceptions, in the case of one or two individual stars, the marks have boen mediocre. However, this has often proven the case in the early spring, while the athletes came back with pos records, in the big meet. In the race for honors in the senior division, Soldan seems » have an edge on its ancient riv McKinley. Soldan has a well balanced team, and the official squad which was yester- day chosen by Coach Collins is the favorite for this year’s meet. Mc- Kinley has a strong track team but the field events see to have been overlooked. Central has several mer who look like first place winners, but second and third place perform- ers are needed to gain the necessary points. Taking the sprints, Soldan and Mc- Kinley should have a lively battle for honors in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The West Enders easily have an edge with such a quartet of short distance steppers as Scholtz, Hawes, Liston and Thompson. Leaty and La Mont are the reliances for McKinley, while Talbott of Central showld be heard from. Cox and Wightman are the Yeatman nom- iness for the two sprints. Quarter Milers Lack Class. The quarter milers this year lack the usual class. Davidson of Soldan, Os- borne of Central, Woods of Yeatman and La Mont of McKinley will all have difficulty in keeping the time under one minute. Osborne is said to have run the distance fn 57 seconds on one occasion. The distance, judging from early inarks are also woefully provided for. Bredehoft of Soldan seems to be the class and with his partner Lowy should bring several points westward. O'Con- nor and Hayes will probably represent Central; Crank, Woods and Riese wil! —- for Yeatman and Schuster and eed for McKinley. The best mile mark credited to date is a 5m 6s. by Bredehoft, while the best 88 time is 2m. lés., by Schuster of McKinley. Although the “prepsters’” are below the usual standard in some events, this year’s hurdiers should. set some new marks, inasmuch as there are a number of lIikely lookers. Toole of Central, with a 16 1-5e8., seems to be the class of the high stick rformers, while Lindholm and of Soldan and Kammer- @ér of McKinley are touted to struggle for the low hurdle victory. Johnson, Nagle and Hagie will assist Lindholm in the obstacle runs for Soldan, Leff- ler and Leary will act as second and third men for McKinley, while Sinz and Wightman will perform for Yeatman. Toole Best in High Jump. The high jump again brings into rrominence Toole of Central, who owns a mark of 68 in. He ig closely .pressed by Cox of Yeatman and Thompson of Soldan, who have hopped over the bar at bg ft. Kinsey is the main reliance of McKinley. Bauer of Central, Cox of Yeatman Kinsey of McKinley and Scholtz and Johnson of Soldan are the real contend- ers for the running broad jump. All have marks around ® feet, and the event should be closely contested, with Bauer te favorite. “Law” Merstetter of Central, P. J.

Louis was awarded the verdict over Charles Pierson of Kansas City last night at the Future City Athletic Club, after a trial lasting eight rounds, and opinion. Pierson tok no appeal from contest had been won by Trendall strictly upon merit. Trendall had been charged with “going back,” and his acquittal came as a pleasing result to his many friends. Having for so long occupied the position of “local lightweight champion,” it was, of course, expect- ed that Trendall would make a great effort to retain his well-earned pres- tige. And he did—but before proceeding wih the contest he formally waived all claim to his former title by step- ping into the arena weighing about 140 pounds and qualifying for the welterweight division. Having made this clear, he an- nounced himself as ready, and in- formed a friend close by that he was “confident of winning.” Pierson did not appear at all worrted, and at his announced weight of ‘‘about 148 pounds” he looked to be in better condition than when seen here in two previous encounters with Leo Kelly. Trendall Opens Cautiously. The men “toed the scratch’’ for the first round and Trendall looked anil acted as if he knew nis reputation as a skillful boxer was at stake, and he didn’t propose to resort to any heroics or take unnecessary chances. He sparred cautiously, did some clinching and holding, displayed some bad judg- ment of distance by missing with sev- eral swings that fell short, and then was hit hard on the jaw by the very aggressive, and, apparently, fearles Pierson. It didn’t look like a good rour for Trendall, and he was not working with bis old-time speed. The second round opened with Tren- it is probable there was no dissenting the decision, and conceded that the | Harry Sharpe’: Ss Decisions ARRY TRBENDALL of 8t.

There were a few good exchanges in this round, but there was nothing dazzling n the work of either. Trendall held his wn, however, though at the end there was what is known to boxers as a mouse under his right eye. Trendall seemed to have utilized the first two rounds for warming-up pur- pose, for in the third round he cut loose with a burst of speed that made all hands sit up and take notice. He appeared light and fast in his footwork, stepping in and out in old-time style, and shooting his left to the face for quick, snappy jabs, and crossing heavily with his right to the body. Pierson was busy, too, and hooked and swung many blows to Trendall’s face and body, but the Kansas City man was out-boxed, out-hit and out-pointed in this round. Pierson Compliments Trendall for His Clever.Work in Fourth Round RENDALL demonstrated in the fourth round that he was boxing in old-time form and he was com- plimented by Pierson for his cleverness His left hand travelled fast and often by hooks or on a straight line for Pierson’s face, and abrasions thereon were mute evidence of the damage being done. ape the eppering and Trendall ened & fight) uppercut to straighten him up. a is of vg! build and spirit and he laughed his defi- ance while fighting back as best he could, and he fought hard. He landed some forceful punches and rocked Trendall a number of times; but they were few egeeneres with the many hat Trendall shot in. : rendall held his lead in the fifth round by clever gry’ and fast work. His judgment of distance was now very good, and his fast-shoot- ing left hand was troubling Pierson, who was unable to get by it or ock it down. anne Kansas City man crowded in as best he could and, while doing 4&9, landed some long swings, but Tren- dall’s blocking was so good that he easily protected himself from many. At the end of this round Piersons lower lip had been cut and was bleeding. Both Maintain Fast Pace. There had been no idle moments up to now, and the pace was just as fast in the sixth round, with Trendall out-boxing Pierson and laughing at the latter's futile efforts to reacn him with a knockout punch. When Pierson crowded in too close Trendall drew him into a clinch, and then gave a clever exhibition of free- ing himself by working quickly to the left and slipping out of ier- son's reach. In the seventh round there was 4 reat rally of in-fighting and Tren- Sal worked so fast that he out- fought the rugged Pierson, the lat- ter suffering a lot of hard punches to hia face and head, though he de- livered some go00d ones himself. When they stepped apart Pierson good-naturedly inquired of Trendall, “Did you hurt your hands” Pierson set the pace in the eighth Trendall didn’t try to off, but was careful not ¢t be left behind.

Trendall had satisfied his friends, and Pierson had given the same splendid, willing exhibition he hae given heretofore. After the bout Pierson war asked how he compares Treméall and Lee Kelly, having boxed them both. He wave it as his opinion that Trendall is a better boxer and a harder man to reach than Kelly, but that the lat- ter is stronger and a harder hitter. ES ae eran MS oa Yesterday's Fight Results.

Glen Echo's golf: links,over which the coming State championships will be played, has been the busiest course in town for the past two weeks, being patronized by many non-members, whose home links are slower to develop each spring. As usual the Glen Echo course is almost perfect. R. Fullerton, former club cham- pion, has lately returned to the game, after announcing during the winter that he had given up golf. Fullerton is laying unusually well, according to rofessional Bill Duffy, and should be one of the mainstays of Glen Echo in the coming tournament. Christian Kenney, formerly of Glen Echo, will not represent that club this season, and may not enter the State tourney. Arthur Stickney also says he is in doubt about playing, although he will be numberd among the entrants. All the other first flight players are sure to compete. Municipal Tourney Sunday. The first annual tournament of the Municipal Golf League will be started next Sunday according to an an- nouncement made yesterday after- noon by the Park Department. Mu- nicipal tourneys have been staged for the past two years, but this is the firat to be held under the auspices of the league. An entry fee of 50 cents will be charged, this to go towards purchas- ing trophies for the winners. Entries can be made with J. W. Himmelsbach, secretary, 5567 Berlin avenue. It was also announced that 3363 olf permits had been issued by the Park Department this season. At least 300 of this number is expected to enter the. coming tournament. A tennis tournament also will be arranged as soon as the tennis en- thusiasts organize under the Munici- pal Athletic Association. Browns Idle, but Quit the Cellar Bometimes it helps a club to draw an enforced lay-off on account of weather conditions. This was the case with the Browns yesterday and the result was that Rickey’s aggregation hopped into seventh place, while the Athletics were losing to the White Sox. besdes ueiping toe team in the per- centage table, the postponement yester- day was a welcome one for Manager Rickey, who at present is shy on pitch- ers. Carl Weilman and Grover Low- dermilk are the only moundmen, who are in condition to go the full route at present. 2 Local "oe Are Called Off Cold weather was the reason advanced for the cancellation of both local ball ames today. The . Browns-Nationals final tilt was canceled at noon, while Fielder A. Jones didn’t rub the Terrier- Buffalo battle off the slate until 2 o'clock. Buffalo will be here tomorrow, while the Yanks will be entertained at Sportsman's Park.

CERTAIN baseball manager was sitting in his chair And ever and anon he ran his fingers through his hair; His brow was corrugated, for his troubles pressed him sore. This sad refrain came floating through the keyhole in the door: It’s a long way to first division, It’s a long way to go; It's a long way to first division And the going’s tough, I know. Down here in the cailas I can get no air; It's a long, long way to first division But my heart's right there. - . The Cards Move. HB Cardinals, we're pleased to note, Have left the lower regions; The cellar now is occupied By ‘“‘Muggsy’”’ and his legions. It gives us joy to see the Cards Awaken from their slumber; They put the bee On emaree And got the Phillies’ number. Fashion Notes. On account of the extreme chilly weather the ladies have laid aside those nifty neck furs for the time being and will continue to wear those gauzy low cut shirt waists until the weather turns Warm enough to make the wearing of furs feasible. ° . “Lumbago” Bill Doak gave the Phil- lies a wallop in the lumbar region, yes- terday. — Not Water Buffalos.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 19.—The St. Louis Cardinals will wind up their first series of the season here, this afternoon, hen the indications are that Hank Robinson will try his southpaw slants on the Quakers. Rixey, who has pitched only one in- ning in more than a ween, is likely to go to the mound for the National League leaders. The Cardinals will leave for New York immediately after the game, and will be quartered in that city for a week. Bill Doak’ spitter was working, yes- terday, and that’s enough explanation of the Cardinals’ victory, score 6 to 2. He held the hard-hitting Quakers to four safeties and was supported by errorless ball and some good hitting, of which Jack Miller, Beck and Butler were the — providers, each making two safe- es. Glenn to Rejoin Cards. Secretary Seekamp of the Cardinals has received a telegram from Catcher Glenn, who was threatened with appendicitis at Boston, that the latter has recovered suf- ficiently to be able to rejoin the club at New York this week. Before the series with St. Louls started, the Phillies expressed great admiration for Snyder's throwing ability. They were evidently sincere, for during the three ames quly three attempts have been made © steal by Moran’s players. Of these, Becker succeeded once in two attempts, Fy gv eleer wag thrown out when he tzied the feat. a — TonarS| F Taste AMERICAN LEAGUE. Pct. Win.

No Formaldehyde Needed. ONIGHT, at New York, a wrestling tournament will be begun at which ringside spectators will not be forced to wear patent clothespins on their nostrils. Alex Aberg of Reval, Bethania, said to be the strongest wrestler itn the world, and many times a Graeco-Roman champion in Europe, will go on in the first of a series of matches against all-comers, in which he un- dertakes to give $1000 for each fall scored against him. In this tournament Wladek Zbyszko, Lurich and Colosse are to be Aberg’s most dangerous opponents. A $10,000 prize gees to the winner of the tournament instead of being split three ways. Thua, the only chance a contestant has to get a glimpse of the gold certificates in to take a fall out of Aberg, the best man. * * e Discovered by J. C. Meyers. BERG is a discovery of John C.

Aberg is now over 30 years of age, but is still re in his wrestling prime, orts state, le reed not be worried about the opposition, if Lurich and W. Zbyszko are examples of the entries. Neither of these is of ee ge that is not class. of championship |Say Something, Frank. BERG is trying to lead up te a match with Gotch, with the usual $20,000 offer if the Ameri- can champion will only accept. Gotch wou have to go through a long eri of conditioning and trainin efere he would consent to a mate Nome the less, if he is not tu- tendivpg to risk hig title, Goteh ought to make the fact public in some positive way, as his on-the- fence attitude makes champlon- ship milling impossible. If Frank is done, he should offer some trophy, say a championship belt, and start the oid title circulating again. Just because he wants to quit is no reason for bringing the game to a standstill. Leave It to Coach Yost. P in Michigan the forward pass, which was so long in making a* dent in the conservative Yost tactics, a few seasons ago, is now more on the map than at ony other school, seem- ingly. At least Yost is establishing a system tending to make his men thor- oughly familiar with handling long throws. This system consists of playing base- ball with a college football, forcing men to make long, fast and accurate throws across the diamond, as well as accus- toming them to handling the awkwardly sha spheroid surely. The difference between regular base- ball and football-baseball is that no catcher is required. The man up, in- stead of swinging a bat, advances to the plate, receives the pitcher's pass and then hurls the ball as far as he can in any direction he thinks will be out of reach of all flelders.. Then he hikes for first. The play on him is made just as if the sphere had been batted. It surely ought to develop facility in handling the old pigskin.

LOSSES Critics of First Lord Say He Was Too Hasty in Dardenelles Operations, CALLED A POLITICIAN Declared He Ordered Naval Movements Against Advice of Sea Lords. LONDON, May 19.—The Dardanelles expedition has been made the occasion for another strong attack upon Mr. Churchill by his persistent enemies, who seen now about to achieve a re- organization of the Cabinet in this way. Briefly told, the charge against him is this: The question of forcing the Dardanelles and taking Cpnstantinople having been mentioned in a Cabinet conference, it is said that Mr. Church- ill, consulting nobody else, went to the head of the Intelligence Department of the Admiralty and asked him if he thought the scheme possible. The reply was that it wds quite possible when the Queen Elizabeth and other heavy ships should be available, but that the work of the fleet would have to be support- ed by a land force. The story then goes that Mr. Church- ill simply told his colleagues that the Intelligence Department of the Admir- alty considered the scheme perfectly feasible, but said nothing to them of the necessity for a supporting land force. With the memory of the First Lord’s great work in having the grand fleet mobilized before the outbreak of the war, it is said that the Cabinet once more gave him a free hand and that Mr. Churchill immediately proceeded to order an unassisted fleet operation against the Dardanelles. This, it is said, he did against most urgent re- quests of Lord Fisher and also of Lord Kitchener. The further charge is made against Churchill that when the fleet opera- tions began to appear slow he ordered the Admiral to cable to hasten matters, with the result that three battleships were sacrificed. It may be said that Churchill as First Lord of the Admiral- ty, assuming that he acted in the way described, did so within his technical rights, but contrary to general usage. As will be easily understood, it is im- possible to vouch for the accuracy of tife foregoing; but it is an accurate state- ment of the charges made against Churchill by those who are anxious to see him deposed from the post of First Lord. As at the time of the Antwerp ex- pedition,. the attack upon him is led by the Morning Post, which returns to its argument “‘that the man at the wheel in this war is the soldier and salflor, and that for politicians to interfere in the conduct of naval and military operations is altogether wrong and may easily be disastrous.” Morning Post Renews Attack. In slightly more veiled terms, the Morning Post, in its editorial, put for- ward the charge against Churchill prac- tically as stated above. This was the morning after Lord Charles Beresford asked the Prime Minister in the House of Commons a series of questions imply- ing that the First Lord had ordered the fleet to attempt the forcing of the Dar- danelles, not only entirely upon his own responsibility but in direct opposition to the professional advice of the four Sea Lords. Neither the accusation of Lord Charles Beresford nor that of the Morning Post has received any contradiction. The sup- porters of Churchill, whose views are well expressed by the Westminster Gazette, argue that “‘perhaps the accu- sation has not been contradicted because it seems to bear on the fgce of it evi- dence of its own inacouracy.”’ The Morning Post, returning to the charge, declares that their statement has not been denied becayge it is true. It repeats the charge that Churchill “‘is habitually overriding the experts in the direction of the naval campaign,” and goes on: “We asserted that he had done so at Antwerp and, as the Govern- ment is well aware, we had substantial proofs’ on which to found our assertion. We assert again that the naval attack on the Dardanelles was against the opin- ion of Lord Fisher.”’ “ACTOIDS” ACT ACTIVELY. “ACTOIDS” Do Not Gripe Nor Sicken. CAR CREW HOLDUP, CONDUCTOR ROBBED OF HIS MONEY BELT Two Men Armed With Revolwers Get $21 at Western End of Cass Line. While the crew of a Cass car was ieaving @ restroom at the western ter- minus of the line, Belt and St. Lows avenues, shortly after 12 o’clock this morning, two armed robbers stopped them. Harry Mitchell, the conductor, living at 4127 Lexington avenue, was backed against the side of a coke shed and ordered to hold up his hands while the robber cut the belt of his money changer. 1 The changer contained $21. The robbers then ran west to Buri avenue and disappeared in a pasture. The motorman was John Kennedy of 2607 North Prairie axenue.

In an editorial upon “The German Attitude,” in your Monday issue, you put this question: ' * “Do the Germans want us to believe that th Gestruction of American lives was deliberately planned and accomplished as a justifiable act with- ut an émotion of regret or sympathy?” > It appears to the writer that, in view of all the known facts, this question is entirely superfluous, The sailing lists of the great liners are rot held vate. hey are printed before the vvuyage is efun, and are cabled to the other side.

They knew with approximate exact- ness, at least, there were a total of so many souls board; sO many were crew, so many passen- ere; of the latter, so many were women, so many ¢thildren, so many men; also, they were well in- formed by the public press of the names of such prominent American passengers as Vanderbilt, Hubbard, Frohman, etc.; lastly, they would be able to accurately estimate ‘how many were Amer- tcans. With these facts accessible, how idle to atk if the Germans knew who they were killing. One might as well ask whether the hitting of the ship were not an accident, after all. 4s to the German attitude, any expressions of fvgret from those having to do with the slaughter must be so hypocritical as to add insult to injury.

The Fight Against Tuberculosis. Po the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. _i vead with interest in Saturday's issue of the t-Dispatch « letter headed “The Fight Against 1b losis." The monéy about to be given to iting nurses might as. well be thrown into the feaie ppi River, as far as its productive good is concerned. What weshould do is to take the tien with rewlar symptoms and send them Institutions for such cases and isolate the less cases in other institutions. There ts anf | ble dearth of institutions in St. Louis sufferers of the white plague. I interviewed today with reference to his: jeme, and what I learned is worthy of particu- F attention. In my interview with him he said: tion; in ft Hes the remedial means. The ob- of our is to take the children he poor who have shown tubercular tendencies ‘symptoms and send them to institutions where hey will be sealously attended to, the growing of developing constitution of the child, when well | nourished, will probably cripple the disease in ite incipient stages.” He deplores the dearth of | ‘for this particular purpose. | f ' - RR ee wm The report.that the President will bring Great Britain to book for illegal interference with American commerce undoubtedly is true. The British as well as the Germans must toe the mark of law and obligation. But the two issues must not be mixed. They are based upon distinct offenses. From the American standpoint they are not related. Each nation must answer for its own offenses per- petrated against us which must be distinguished and completely separated from their acts in re- spect to each other. The only point at which there is relation between their acts towards eac% other and towards us is in the German submarine warfare which has destroyed, without warning, American lives on British ships. But while the attacks are aimed at British ships the issue of ‘the destruction of American lives and property is an issue to be settled directly with us. The Gérman issue differs radically from the British issue. Both involve violations of law and rights, but the latter touches only property, while the former touches life as well as property. The Germans are striking the Amefican heart and honor as well as the American pocketbook, whereas the British are injuring only the pocket- book. The question of humanity is not involved in British offenses. Germany must deal with our issue herself. She cannot shift the responsibility to her eh- emies. How she deals with it will have a vital effect on her standing in the civilized world and on the results of the war. It is impossible to defy successfully the moral judgment of the world. Reports of the attitude of other neutral Pow- ers indicate strong support of our position which may lead to concerted action. Neither side in this war can afford to earn the moral condemna- tion of the neutral nations. The weight of oppo- sition would crush those who undertook to with- stand it. —--———_—_--— © @@ A MECHANICAL BOY. Newburyport, Mass., brags of a schoolboy who hasn't been absent, tardy or dismissed once dur- ing 14 years of attendance at either public or Sunday school. Wonderful and admirable*but what a lot that boy has missed! a £& & WORK OF THE VISITING NURSE. A thoughtful letter to the Post-Dispatch makes the point that, in the fight against tuberculosis, the work of the visiting nurse is mainly educa- tional. The writer says, this being the case, “why not buy a daily column in the Post-Dis- patch? It would reach more people in a month than 25 nurses would in 10 years, and it would not cost the city $2500 a month either.” If it were merely a question of publicity, the daily printed lesson on symptoms and treatment, in a widely read newspaper, would be better than the same sort of education by a corps of visiting nurses. But there is no comparison between the two modes of attacking the disease, as is con- vincingly shown in the article by Sophie Irene Loeb on the work of visiting nurses, in Tues- day's Post-Dispatch. A very large number of individuals and fami- lies afflicted with tuberculosis are, unfortunate- ly, too poor to take a daily paper. The article by Miss Loeb, the first of a series on the sub- ject, is heartrending for its exposure of the con- ditions of destitution and ignorance that must! be changed, in St. Louis and all the large cities. And the reader will be convinced that nothing but the most intelligent and humane persona! treatment, which the visiting nurse alone can give, can fill the need. The visiting nurse does not merely give advice. She is a social servitor. She attacks the problem of destitution, as well as of disease. She arranges for food and medi- cine; for isolation when necessary, and for re- moval to sanitaria or the country. St. Louis must have a sufficient body of these nurses. Their cost will be as nothing compared with the good they can do. A BARGAIN IN VESSEL PROPERTY. The sale of our old battleships, Mississippi and Idaho, to Greece was & measure promotive of peace, just as it was urged it would be when the transaction was agreed to. With all the in- centive that has been given her since to engage in war, Greece has preserved the peace and King Constantine says she is going to keep right on preserving it. We got what we considered a fair price for the ships and after testing them for a year Greece is more than satisfied with them. “They’re dandy beats,” says Constantine. So it was a good bar- gain on both sides. Greece’s sense of national security has been increased and with the money we got for them we are building a superdread- nought that will not decrease our own sense of security. cae ) * PATRIOTIO CHEMISTS, ATTENTION! ' Gen. Kitchener declared in Parliament that the allies feel justified in opposing with similar means the German use of poisonous gases on the battle line. And, indeed, if no agency is found as effective in. protecting their own men from slaughter, what else can they do but oppose poison to poison? - Tt indieates, however, warfare conducted on a lowered plane of humanity from which horrors as yet undreamed of may result.

With poison formally adopt- ed for military uses by both allies and Germans, a contest in the potency of the toxic agencies be- comes fnevitable.

INSPIRATION. JUST A MINUTE BILL PAINTER. ILL PAINTER, for a fleeting day, Reigned with the Governor away.. He thought about the Democrats In prison cells and cooling vats. It struck him as a hapless plight For those who always voted right. Republicans, he understood, Were in there for the public good; But Democrats—he grabbed his pen, And called the warden and his men! ‘*Good friends,’’ said Bill, ‘‘the turkey trot Engages Major’s time a lot. ‘*‘With pigeon wings and Highland flings, He has no time for solid things. ‘‘It has not come within hig ken That Democrats are in the pen. ‘*He does not know the dreadful fate Of men who always voted straight. ‘*But I, my friends, am not so false To all that loyalty exalts. ‘‘The latest things from Arab tents Have not benumbed my-party sense. ‘*‘Produce the keys—release the men— All Democrats go free again!’’ Bill Painter, for a fleeting day, Reigned with the Govefnor away. ‘*What’s parties for?’’ he said at last, And smiled a smile sereye and vast. AT SEA. Halting the ship, the submarine came alongside and announced that it would take the Americans off. ‘‘But the Americans cannot do that,’’ one of them answered. ‘‘It is kind, but if we must be torpedoed the Americans would rather go down with the rest than have an exception made in case. In Omaha, where I come from, it is not uncommon for one’s dying thought to pertain to what others think of him. I know this is unusual, but it is a way we have in America, or at least some parts of America. Nor does it materially matter that the rest of the peo- ple on the ship would be lost. What they thought of us just before they went under would be quite as important———’’ But the submarine had dived. ‘*‘That must have been one of those celebrated chautauqua lecturers,’’ the commander said. ‘‘The ship is spared.’’ It is said that a plot to marder the Sultan of Turkey has been discovered, and that 40 persons are under arrest. We don’t call that a plot. As we understand it, a plot is a conspivacy upon the part of not more from an uprising to a revolution.

UST at a time when Uncle Sam seemed in a J fair way to join the Allies, M. Rostand has performed the astounding feat of writing a two-column poem to the Star-Spangled banner with- out mentioning either Wilson or Bryan! We leave our readers to imagine the probable con- sequences of such a faux pas, especially in view of the pains the first poet of France has been at to mention Roosevelt, Jefferson, Washington, Emerson, Franklin, Whitman, Lincoln, Poe and William James! As if this list embraced the whole galaxy of American greatness or accorded honorable men- tion to all those whose aspirations for humauskind have kept the fires of liberty burning! We are afraid M. Rostand does now know his Star-Spangled banner. He only knows that his be- loved tri-color of France is in peril, and that he would rally other flags around it. He won’t get them this way. All the Americans to whom he has paid tribute are either dead or out of office. They have nothing to do with the present destinies of the Star-Spangled banner. It is in the immediate care of Wilson and Bryan; and if they see his poem, as they inevitably must, there will be a coldness toward’ the Allies at the American capitol which not all the apologies of the Allies can Hope to melt. ~~ ~~ The association of father and son in the same busi- ness must be accepted as a dangerous combination. It has about done for Kuhs on the School Board, and it is amusing itself now trying.to pry Schramm out of the Assessor’s office. The unusual circumspection demanded in such an association of both father and son is apparently a little too much for the average man and his offspring. A discreet father can be un- done by an indiscreet son, and Vice versa. In @ case where neither is discreet and they pool their indis cretions, the effect is terrific. It must be true, too, that where they are both discreet there is no itint- tation upon their possibilities. We think the latter has been true of Mr. Rockefeller and his son, but we would say upon mature reflection, and not having our son associated with us in the opinion, that it is a field where few save Rockefellers may safely venture.

Oppo- site her sat a man whose sinewy frame and bronzed face suggested a person of coarser mold, but his eyes redeemed the presentment. Eloquent anguish flickering in their depths showed «a sterling soul of sympathy and rare hu- man interest behind the mask of grim- ness. His lips set as though in the case of this woman he faced an ordeal that could not be evaded. He gianced at the clock. A spasm of frightful mental tor- ment appeared to almost crush him. His face grew deadly white. “Tt would give my life 10 times over to save your husband,” spoke Richard Deoyie, huskily. ‘Dear friend,” answered the woman, brokenly, “do I not know it? How you have stood by us in all this terrible trouble!” “Your husband, John Lioyd, and my- self are Mke brothers. He saved my life ence. Oh, that I could aid him! Oh, that I could lessen your burden!” One—two—three—four—five—six— seven —eight—nine—ten! the jangiing, worn-out clock raspingly tolled out the hour. The woman shivered and her hair fell over her outepread arms as she burst into a torrent of tears. Doomed to Die. | ICHARD DOYLE, her husband’s te sturdy friend and her own, her boarder, whose weekly payments alone saved Mrs. Lioyd and her little child from starvation, clenched his great heavy hands in mute anguish, while the cold drops of perspiration stood out upon his brow as if forced there through the internal agony he could not subdue. Two hoursi—he shuddered. At the hour of midnight, less than two miles distant at the State penitentiary, John Lioyd, husband and friend, was due to be electrocuted for the crime of mur- der. In another part of the State, a super- intendent of a factory of which the young man was bookkeeper, had been shot dead from ambush one dark night. The victim and Lioyd had quarreled. There had been had blood between them. The weapon found near the gcene of the crime had belonged to ldioyd. The latter stated it had been stolen from his house the evening pre- vious. His lawyer cited many enemies of the dead man. In vain! The suspected man was tried, found guilty and sentenced to the extreme penalty. ‘His wife, his little child and his best friend, Doyle, removed to the little town to be near their loved one during his last days. Doyle secured work in the great electric plant. Once a week they allowed Alice to see her doomed husband. That afternoon she had taken her last farewell of him. Now she was counting the slow, agonizing minutes—s> fatally slow!—ere the act of electrocu- tion was due. Suddenly there was a low moan of pain from a little room off the kitchen. Both Doyle and the woman started up, the latter with a lamp, and hurried to the source of the outcry. Guided by Heaven. PON a bed lay a man, thin, lead- en-eyed, gasping for breath. It spoke well for the, rare humanity of the twain that the evening before. when they found this poor wreck in a dead faint at the doorstep, they had taken him in. and cared for him. “Where am I?” he now asked. ‘I was seeking the friends, the home of Johny Liocyd.”’ “My husband!""’ murmured Mrs. Lioyd, — “Aye!” The deed was done because he. unjustly discharged me from his em- ploy. It has haunted me, an assassin, | in all my rovings. I read in the papers of the unfust accusation of John Lioyd. I dragged myself hither. A dying man, 1 wish to confess the truth.” “Fiy!’’ cried Doyle to the woman, in 4 wild ferment of excitement. “The Judge! , He is in the town. Tell him what this man says.” “Can they stop the execution?” qua- vered Mrs. Lloyd. “They must! Do not delay, I beg of you.” An hour went by, and Mrs. Lioyd was speeding on her urgent mission, while Doyle sat by the bedside of the helpless invalid, gaining from him full details of the crime, keeping alive the flickering spark of life with stimulants. Another half hour—the woman had not returned. Doyle glanced at the clock. Thirty min- utes more John Lioyd would be led to the electric chair! “Fifteen minutes to midnight!” he ut- tered hoarsely at length, as he paced to and fro anxiously, awaiting the re- turn of his niessenger. Ah, a thought! At any risk the execution must be de- layed! A grim expression came into the face of the sturdy artisan. He glanced again at the clock. Then he hurried to his room, When he came thence again he had on his tool belt and his insulated gioves. He dashed from the house at the top of his speed. He reached the stretch of poles and lines connecting the prison with the electric light plant, three miles distant. Cutting the Cable. P a pole he climbed, was astride (J the top stringer. Out came his wire clipper. The big cable snapped in two, one end coiling like a writhing snake ¢ill it reached the ground. Glancing in the direction of the prison he saw that every light in the grim pile of masonry on the hill had gone out. Richard Doyle had cut the cable that supplied the electricity from the power house. The electric chair held no menace until the severed cable was repaired! He ran back to.the cottage. Mrs. Lioyd and the Judge had just arrived. The latter was humane and im- presse4. After five minutes’ talk with the invalid, he was as excited and interested as the others. Doyle told him what he had done with the elec- tric wires. “I shall get to the telegraph,” said the Judge, “and wire the Governor for a stay of sentence.” “Oh, will he grant it?” crie@d Mrs. Lloyd. “On my statement of new evidence,’ said the Judge. “I am certain of it. Hold the fort, Doyle, till I return.” Richard Doyle took up his post at the point where he had out the wires. A repairer from the plant arrived half an hour later to trace the break. “T’ll brain you if you try to restore that current until the Judge re- ports!” menaced Doyle, grimly, after he had explained the situation. “You are relieved,” spoke the Judge in person, appearing an hour later. “I got the Governor. Word has been sent’'to the penitentiary. I shall take the deposition of the real murderer and John Lioyd will soon be a free man!” The real murderer died two days later. Misguided unfortunate that he was, Mrs. Lloyd attended his funeral, and by her side, a free man, was her husband saved from a hideous death just in the nick of time. (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) SOME NEW RECIPES. Braised Beef—One pound of chuck or juicy piece of beef, cut in cubes. AG@é cold water, put on back of stove two or three hours.

CASTORIA in ses ferdver 30 Youre Always bears the Signature of ‘STREET SUIT } fr ll tte ff’ YOO AVE yet? you drawn your polymurie!l Scores of women have been put- ting on paper their pet particular no- tions of a Polymuriel, a universal gown and a universal hat for women, which may be worn on all occasions and which must be characterized by beauty, sim- plicity, durability and comfort. A prize of $150 has been offered for a design of the most likely gown and $59 for the hat. The contest closes May 81 Designs are to be sent to the Polymuriel Prize Fund Committee, 628 Riverside Drive, New York City. Each sketch should be signed in the upper right-hand corner with an as- sumed name of the designer, and should be accompanied by a sealed envelope bearing the assumed name on the out- side and containing a slip inscribed with the real name and address. One of the Polymuriel dress designs shown here may be readily transformed from a street suit to axfown suitable for reception or the . The material is probably silk, made up for street wear in a short, straight skirt, slight- ly gathered at the waist and a belted blouse over which is worn a short, col- larless coat. For more formal occa- sions, the coat is put aside, the neck of the blouse is turned in and finished with a late collar, while the plainness of the skirt is relieved by a pleated peplum adjusted under the deep belt. The other Polymurtel dress is ap- parently adaptablé for morning, after- noon and evening wear. In the morning the skirt is plain, the waistline normal, with a moderately deep crushed girdla, and the slightly open neck is filled in with lace in front and has a standing collar at the back. For afternoon wear the gown is made more elaborate by the addition of a double tunic belted high with black velvet. The neck is lower than in the morning, and black velvet shoulder straps take the place of the plainer straps worn earlier in the day. To adapt the dress for theater or wear in the evening two sections of sleevo are removed, making the sleeves end above the elbow, the neck is opened still more in back and front, while the heavy velvet belt and shoulder straps yield place to a more costly and delicate ma- terial. The four Polymuriel hats might each of them be worn with propriety on al- most any occasion. They combine sim- plicity and smartness, and would not look out, of place either in a business office or in a swell hotel dining room. Bobby Sandman story of a spoiled little boy who was cured of his self- ishness in a timely dream. Pink Pig 2. UNT MARY had sent her little nieces and nephews a box stuffed with beautiful presents; there were daintily dressed dools, and wonderful stcry books, and the squeakiest jack-in- the box, and a brand-new set of furni- ture and dishes for the Joll house, and a cute little roast turkey and plum pudding for the doll’s dinner. All these the children were to divide, but when they came to opening the box and choosing, Bobby spciled all their pleasure. He had been quito sick, and ev- eryone had !et him have his way so much now he wag very, very spoiled. Every pretty thing they took from the box Bobby insisted must be. his and would grow angry until it was given to him. So the other children fared very badly. Now, at the bottom of the box Aunt Mary had put a pink plush pig, a gor- geous little pig, with the cunningest pink snout poked saucily out When they took it out and unrolled it from the crackly paper there was a cry of de- Ught. The children said it must belong to them all, but Bobby insisted it, too, raust be his, and, in spite of the tears of th other kiddies, he took it. That night, long after thé other chil- dren were dreaming of their new skates and sleds, Bobby woke up and tossed i ——— A ee eee eC; . -_-—- ~~ ee DON’T WASH YOUR HAIR WITH SOAP’ When you wash your hair, don’t use soap. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut gil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless, It’s very cheap, and beats soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply . moisten the hair witb water and rub it in—about a teaspoon- ful is all that is required.

Walker. about the bed, hunting a sleepy corner; for, though nurse had begged him not, he had eaten too much cake at supper, and now could not sleep. T last he decided he was thirsty, and called fretfully for water. But no one heard him, so he tumbled sleep- ily out of bed, clutching his little silver mug. Bobby had never been out of bed alone at night before, and was a wee pit frightened at first at the silence and shadows, but he knew there were not really any bugaboos that hurt little boys, so he trudged through the nursery on his way to the bathroom. As he passed by the doll house he heard an odd little voice say: “Dinner is ready. I do wish you would all come before the turkey gets cold.’’ Bobby looked at the doll house and there, in the doorway, stood a little Goll fanning her pink cheeks with her apron. He sat down in wonder, while the dolls of the nursery family came tripping in and sat down to the doll dinner. Last came the pink plush pig, rudely pushing everyone out of his way. “I want the biggest chair,” he grunt- ed, and plumped himself down in it, although Maria Ann, the oldest doll in the nursery, always sat there. The other dolls frowned, but Maria Ann merely said, quietly: “You know, they have all kinds of Iill-bred toys in the shops these days; he hasn't been in our family long enough to learn good man- ners.” B** when the pink plush pig ate up most of the turkey and put half the plum pudding on his plate, the others were angry and disgusted with him. And after dinner he seémed to be all over the doll house, taking the best of everything, paying no attention to the protests of the little dolls except to scold them. Bobby was furious with the way his pig acted, and wanted to get up and spank him soundly, but he found he could neither move nor speak. At iast, when Maria Ann came down in the parlor and found the pink plush pig sitting with his feet on the table, even she grew angry. “You are the rudest thing ever in this house!" she crged, indignantly. “I should think you would be ashamed of such manners.” . “Oh! Shot a bit.” replied the pink plush pig, with am impudent grunt “I do just like wry little OmaKer, Bobby.” : “Lou aie eaid Maria Aan, he me pee oh MGT pe da A GN RM | sadly. “Bobby has just such manners as yours; just what you might expect from a pink plush pig.” ‘T haven’t! I haven't!’ screamed Bobby, and just then his mother came in and found him sitting on the nurs- ery floor, clutching his little silver mug and crying bitterly, so she cud- dled him up and he was soon asleep. Next morning Bobby insisted that the dolls had been talking, and he felt very much ashamed of what Maria Ann and the pig said about his selfishness. So he called the other children, and generously gave them a good share of his toys, But he kept the pink plush pig, though he gave it a good, sound spanking, and just loved it to death, because it had made him learn how spoiled and selfish* he had been. ee eee -_—<-- -——- HOW TO CURE A. CHRONIC COUGH Told in the Following Letter by a Jackson Man Who Knows “T am a carpenter, and the grippe left me not only with a chronic cough, but I was run-down, worn out and weak. I took all kinds of cough syrups but they did me no good. I finally got so weak I was not able to do a day’s work, and €oughed so much I was alarmed about my con- dition. One evening I read about Vinol and decided to try it. Before I had taken a quarter of a bottle I felt better, and after taking two bottles my cough is entirely cured, all the bad symptoms have disap- peared and I have gained new vim and energy.”—JOHN L. DENNIS, 711 Lytich Street, Jackson, Miss. The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because the active medicinal principles of cod liver oil contained in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and supplies strength and vigor to the nerves and muscles while the tonic iron and wine assist the red corpuscles of the blood to absorb oxygen and distribute it through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weak- ened, diseased organs of the body If Vinol fails to help you we re- turn your money.

Mr. Jarr’s One Bachelor Friend Has a Bit of Dime Novel Luck. HILE Mr. Jack Silver was away W on his errand of personal mercy —borrowing $10 from Mr. Jarr— Mr. Percy Pinkfinger was deeply en- grossed in his game of “jacks.”’ Mr. Pinkfeather made a false play, but see- ing. by the glass on the bureau on which he was playing that he hadn’t seen it, he went right on, pretending the mis- chance had not occurred. He blushed t» think he would stoop to such an un- eportemaniike think as to cheat himself; but he reasoned to himself that he had not geen himself do it and that it was his own fault if he did not watch him- self to guard himself against cheating birmself. At this juncture the game was called on account of the intrusion of visitors. A rap sounded at the door, and Mr. Pinkfinger opened the top bureau drawer and permitted the little rubber ball to bounce in, then he swept in the jacks, closed the drawer and when the visitor entered—for it was too soon for Jack Silver to return from his errand of per- sonal mercy—there was no inoriminat- ing evidence in sight to the brutal game of “Jacks” as well as to soda water érinking and piano playtng to excess. The visitor was the landlady, with a telegram for Mr. Jack Silver. But Mr, Pinkfinger was a loyal friend. He baf- fied the landlady’s all-consuming curi- osity. “Did you sign for the telegram?” he} asked. The landlady nodded. “Then that will be all, my good wom- an,” sald Mr. Pinkfinger in his best majestic floorwalker manner. “You can go now. I shall give it to Mr. Silver when he returns. Doubtless it is from his brokers regarding some of his finan- cial operations.” And Mr. Pinkfinger yawned and polished his nails on his dainty handkerchief; and the landlady retired, abashed at his superior rhetoric and the grand manner which entitled Mr. Pinkfinger to lead the floorwalkers’ anrual elite reception and ball without a contesting rival. When Mr. Silver returned with the $10 he had borrowed from Mr. Jarr to re- deem his dress coat and silk hat from the late ruthless invader of the little Belgium of his hall bedroom Mr. Pink- finger handed him the telegram, and as Jack Silver was opening the envelops his visitor was wondering if he would have an opportunity of replevining his ball and jacks out of Mr. Silver’s upper bureau drawer without Mr. Silver see- ing him. Mr. Pinkfinger thought to him- self, “If it is bad news, and Jack turnr aside to hide his manly tears, I may get \ back the ball and jacks without his see- ¥ng me. But I hope it is not bad news, fo if he does find the ball and jacks n his bureau drawer I can disclaim all knowledge of them and suggest they were left there by a burglar!” ‘Mr. Pinkfinger had plenty of time to indulge in this retrospection, for his friend, Mr. Jack Silver, was gazing at the telegram as though stupefied. Then > he emitted a loud, plercing whistle and ~ #xclaimed, “Good lordy!"" and handed te telegram to the visiting floorwalker. ..

The statisticians say that about every twelfth wedded couple is divorced, so our friends’ chances of staying mar- ried to each other are 11 to 1. This is as near a certainty as any- thing life affords, and any one pair can make that certainty absolute tf they will. Our schools and dally life, our gospels of efficiency and success, all tend to build up a sort of shell of self- ness, to interest people in their own selves and in thelr own doing.| But the wisdom of marriage consists in knowing that there are others and in maintaining good will toward them.
