L. D. Gadroy, employed as a ‘‘candy butcher’’.on the steamer, was the first eyewitness to tell a detailed story of the accident. ‘‘It was about 7:40 o’cleck this morning and the boat was lying at the dock near the Clark street bridge loading with passengers,’’ said Gadory. ‘‘We were to leave in 20 minutes and the upper deck and cabins were crowded with passengers. There were hundreds of women and children. I estimate that there were between 2000 and 3000 persons on the boat at the time of the accident. I was standing on the lower deck near the gang plank watching the people come aboard. ‘‘Suddenly I noticed the boat list toward the center of the river. It rolled slightly at first and then seemed to stop. Then it started to roll again. I became alarmed and shouted to the crowd to keep still. Apparently a majority of the passengers were one one side of the boat and this bad over- weighted it and caused it to list. Suddenly the hawers which held the boat to the dock snapped and the officers pulled the gang plank in and refused to allow any more on the boat. Everybody Panic-Stricken. ‘‘At this time everybody was panic-stricken. screamed and men tried to quiet them. I attempted to reach an upper deck .but could not because of the crowd and excitement and ran back to the port, where the gangway had been. The boat then slowly drifted after from the dock, rolling as it slipped into mid-stream and a moment later it had turned over on its side. ‘fT climbed over on the side of the boat and stayed there until [ was taken off by life savers.

Four hours after the accident rescuers were stil! taking bodies from the boat through holes chopped in its hull and estimates of the death list ran from 700 to 1500. At 2 o’clock 697 bodies had been recovered. A coroner said 60 per cent of the dead were women. Deputy Coroner David Jones and Shenff John E. Traeger of Cook County, who are directing the work of removing bodies from the hull of the Eastland, stated that from reports of bodies still in the hull of the boat they feared the death list would reach 1200 and might reach 1500.

The crowding of passengers to one side of the boat is sup- posed to have caused the tragedy, but authorities, not satisfied with this explanation, ordered the arrest of officers of the boat and Capt. Harry Pedersen and Dell Fisher, first mate, were taken to police headquarters. Federal Judge K. M. Landis ordered a special grand jury empaneled to make an investigation of the disaster. The jury. will meet next Thursday. Steamboat Inspector William Nicholas is investigating a re- port that water ballast was pumped from the hold of the Fasland as the passengers boarded it so that the boat would rise and that more passengers might be carried. One theory of the cause of the accident is that the steamer had stuck in the mud and had failed to free herself when the engines were started, causing the outer side of the steamer to list. Panic struck the passengers when the boat began to turn over. Best accounts of witnesses said the steamer rolled slightly twice, then turned further and that hundreds of screaming, strug- gling men, women and children slid across the sloping decks, fought for room and clutched at companions, deck chairs or any other object that came to hand. The steamer floated on its side into midstream, where motor boats and other river crafts swarmed | ahout it. Women and Children in Cabin. The merchants of the South Water Street commission houses ond their employes made many rescues. Chicken coops and bales were thrown into the river to the floating victims. Many saved themselves in this manner. Other merchants, with the aid of ropes and poles, pulled dozens from the stream. Women and children by the hundreds were caught below decks and the scratched faces, torn clothing and bruised bodies of the dead bore mute evidence of the desperation with which they had fought for life. Apparently scores of women and children in the cabin weré drowned without being given a chance to escape. Hundreds of other passengers were able to climb to the side of the boat above water, und were taken off by rescuers.

The North Clark street bridge was choked with thousands of persons on their way to work when the accident oecurred. Friends and relatives of many persons who were going on the excursion lined the bridge railing, waiting for the boat to depart. Capt. Charles Carland of the United States Life Saving Station at the mouth of the river, hurried with his crew to the scene and aided in the ‘rescue, as did dozens of tugs and other river craft. Private motor cars and wagons were pressed into service in transport- ing the injured to hospitals. The police were called to the scene from a ‘seore of outlying stations. Police drove the thousands of persons who crowded the Clark Street and Wells street bridges from the structures for fear that they would collapse. - Boat’s Peculiar Construction May Have Caused Eastland Accident A few hours of inquiry caused investigating officials to lean strongly toward the theory that the peculiar construction of the boat was respon- sible for the accident. The Eastland was equipped with water ballast so that it could enter the harbor of South Haven, Mich., and other shallow 248 ports and river mouths. When approaching such entries the water would oot: ~be forced from the tanks, reducing the boat’s draft. Ballast would be taken ss" “Gu again when the vessel emerged from the harbor. It was the theory of the officials that most of the ballast had been forced from the tanks in anticipation of a heavy load today. The steamer ‘was thus rendered top-heavy, it was thought, and this, if a fact, would ‘explain why she capsized so quickly. The strength of the river current was another factor that engaged — attention in connection with the possibility that the keel had grounded in ep? a ..the mud of the river bed. RLS Still another theory was that a tug started pulling on the steamer be- ©? Serco¥ére the wharf lines were cast off. This, however, was denied. a, ~ The Eastland nearly met with a similar accident 8 years ago when in _asbiee. cCQMmigsion between Chicago and South Haven.

CHICAGO, July 24.-—-Harrv deck hand, told me this story in the hold of the Fastland at 9:50 this morning, while he fished in the sub- merged half of the ship with a longe- handled pick for corpses of victima. “The vessel began to list while the passengers were still rushing aboard, at 7:20 a. m., She listed so much then that the gangplank lifted three feet at the ship side and we had to stop them from coming on. The ship’s officers got the crowd all over on the shore side of the ship and she righted herself. The gang- plank came back to level and they be- gan coming aboard again in droves. Finally, about 7:30, they were all aboard. We drew in the plank. ‘We were casting off the stern lines when the ship began to list again. We were on the first deck. The two decks above us as well as the deck we were on woré crowded. We heard them be- gin te holler. We thought they were shouting to their friends on the dock. Then we realized they were srared. Wa hollered to them to go to the upper decks—to keep climbing. They jammed the gangways going up. “She kept on listing and I got scared. I went to the open gang port on the river side of the boat. It was then only three feet above water. Just then a woman with a child in her arms jumped into the river. She was the first to go. “IT jumped in to get her. Then thes began jumping in all around me like snowflakes falling; God knows how many. The water was thick with ther. One hit me on the shoulder and sent me under again. At that hour the river, except for our party, was deserted. There were no small boats handy to pick them up. The river out there north of us must be full of bodies, hun- dreds of them. “I swam around the boat to the piling and climbed out. I came directly back to her. She lay on her side in 2% feet of water. Me and my mate got down through this gangway and began fish- ing tor the dead in the water inside her. I used the pike to bring them up. My mate tied a rope to them when I fetch them to the top and the men on the ship’s side above us haul them up. We found scores of live ones in the cabins on the upper side of her. They got out through the port holes first. I don’t know how many dead ones I have fished out.

It was 26 feet long, 3 feet wide and had a draft of 2 feet with a net tonnage of 1218. It was brought to Chicago in 1904 and was used in the excursion business. to South Haven, Mich., for several years. Later it was taken to Cleveland, O., and placed in the excursion service there. This spring the boat was remodeled, the upper decks being cut away and all the state rooms removed. It was brought to Chicago and put on the run to St. Joseph, Mich.

The Russians are not yet prepared to abandon the salient, continued occu pancy of which against a successful enemy would threaten the very exis! ence of their armies. Petrograd con- cedes there is fighting six miles soutl- west of the fortress of Ivansorod, where the Germans smashed wire en- tanglements but were hurled back with heavy losses by a Kussian counter at- tack. Both Vienna and Berlin claim, with- out giving details, that Austro-Ger- man forces are now fighting virtualiy along the famous Lublin-(Chelm rail- road. Petrograd admits a German at- tack on a village located on the rail- road, but claims this assault was re- pulsed. It is conceded, however, that some of this ground was again lost.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH na a SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1915. ——_—— eee LL are PORT OF PRESI E pe, ‘ ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH DENT’S NOTE AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS ENTHUSIASTIC IN SUP — AMERICAN PRESS OLIDLY INDORSES PRESIDENT’S NOTE View Taken That It Is an Ultimatum in Fact if Not in Form, and That the Consequences Rest Entirely With Germany— Newspapers in All Sections App rove Both the Language and the Stand Taken. [THOUT a dissenting voice the A merican press tndorses completely W and enthusiastically the President's latest note to Germany. It is looked upon as putting an end to the discussion and placing wpon the shoulders of the Kaiser the necessity of deciding whether he will have a neutral America or a hostile America. That it is an ultimatum in fact, The unanimity of the press is most striking. if not in form, is the gencral view. North, South, East and West are one in assuring the President of their support of the language and purport of his note and of whatever may be the consequences. ment of newspapers great and small New York World: Under the cap- tion, “The Last Word!’ the United States is no longer concerned with what Germany says. It is concerned only Com in all sections of the country follow: a suppliant for favor, seeks no privilege; the rights of neutrals and neutral na- tionals, founded in custom and but- tressed by law, enlist our defense. To invade them must be an act unfriend- ly, not alone to the immediate suf- ferers but to all mankind. with what Germany does. President Wilson's third note to the German Government in respect to the} issues of law and humanity raised by the Lusitania massacro is the final sord of the United States. The note Is not an ultimatum in frm, but it is an ultimatum in substance. The imperiat Government is courteously but emphat- ically informed that the United States intends to maintain its rights as a neu- tral on the high seas, ‘‘with- out compromise and at any cost” and that “repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contra- vention of those rights must be regard- ed by the Government of the United States as deliberately unfriendly. The issue now rests with Germany: fiven the military-mad autocracy of Berlin can have no excuse for mistak- ing the meaning of these serious and measured words. Germany has talked much about the freedom of the seas. It is the free- dom of the seas which the United States is determined to maintain. There can be no freedom of the seas except in ac- cordance with the precedent.and prac- tices which the President so lucidly de- fines. The very fact that Germany de- fends her policy of indiscriminate sub- marine warfare as “retaliatory” is, as the President points out, a confession of lawlessness; ‘‘for a belligerent act of retaliation is per se an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as re- tallatory is an admission that it is ille- | gg Retaliation by Germany. Germany: professes to be retaliating against Great Britain, because of the British blockade of the German coast. In reality, as the President makes clear, Germany is retaliating against the United States and other neutral na- tions for the acts of her enemy. In re- spect to that question there can be no answer to the President's assertion, that “Illegal and inhuman acts, how- ever justifiable they may be thought to be against an enemy who is belleved to have acted in contravention of law and inhumanity, and manifestly inde- fensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right to life ft- self.’’ German naval commanders have shown that it is possible to conduct submarine warfare in accordance with the princi- ples of international law and with due regard to thé rights of neutrals ani noncombatants. There in not a single well authenticated instance in which a German submarine has been destroyed or a German sailor lost his life by such conformity to the established law of nationg. If Germany desires peace and friend- ship with the United States, it need sur- render no lawful or essential military advantage. The President does not ask that submarine warfare be abandoned or that it be rendered futile. He de- mands only that so far as Americans are concerned it must conform to the law and humanity which were univer- sally recognized until the German Gov- ernment suddenly became obsessed with its maniacal! theories of ‘‘frightfulness "’ Exects Minimum Demand. What the President exacts of Ger- many is the minimum that a self-re- specting nation can demand of another responsible nation which has wilful'y murdered its citizens and deliberately outraged its sacred rights. He there- fore insists that Germany shall disavow “the wanton act of its naval comman- der in sinking the Lusitania;"’ that it shall “offer reparation for American lives lost, so far as reparation can be reade for a needless destruction of hu- inman life by an tllegal act,’ and thet there must be no repetition by German .** yvvanders of such crimes against citi- sent of the United States. These demands are not excessive and ‘ formulating them President Wilson speaks not only for the American pe- ple, but for civilization itself. Unless the United States maintains {ts neutral rights, “without compromise at any cost,’’ there are no neutral rights left which any belligerent is bound to roe- spect, and the whole world is given over to the terror of the sword. New York Sen: The future lies wi the Kaieer. The United‘ States wi There can be no rmisunderstanding, no misinterpretation of the message, de- tailing with firmness and admirable clarity our dissatisfaction with the Ger- man course, that went to Berlin yes- terday. The German answer may come in words. It may be expressed in deeds. Whatever its tenor the United States has done neither more nor less than its obligations demanded and con- fronts the future confident and with conscience. a a New York Tribune: Under the cap- tion ‘“Deliberately Unfriendly,’ the Tribun& says in part: Not even a German Foreign Secretary reading the closing paragraph of the latest note can misunderstand its meaning, fail to comprehend what will be the conse- quence of another Lusitania massacre. The decision for the future belongs to Germany, but the consequences are no longer hidden. Amerivan citizens will hope that the bandage will now fall from German eyes. They will hope that German rulers will at last perceive that no nation can consent to the mur- der of its citizens, the invasion of its rights, the destruction of its liberties merely because of real or fancied ad- vantage to Germany by such injuries. In telling the German Government that further invaston of American rights, new attacks upon American lives must be regarded as deliberately un- friendly, the President has closed a debate which could no longer be con- tinued and he has conveyed a final and solemn warning that cannot be misun- derstood. Whatever be the consequences of the note itself, no question of partisan or personal difference will contribute to weaken the effect of a message which expresses the will of the whole Ameri- can people. New York Press: The Press de- clares that the notes gets down to busi- ness at the outset, and adds in part: But it would have had a hundred times the force it had if it had been slammed straight back at Berlin as soon as Von Jagow’'s irrelevant and unresponsive re- ply was received. New York Times: It rests with Germany to say whether she desires the continuance of friendly relations be- tween the two Governments and the two peoples. Our note cannot be com- plained of as unfriendly. It is dictated by the earnest desire for the contin- uance of the most friendly relations with Germany threatened only by her invasion of cur rights. * * * The Pres- ident and the Secretary of State speak with the voice of the Government, with the voice of the American people when they declare that friendship itself prompts them to say to the imperial Government that repetition by the com- manders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the Government of the lJnited States when they affect American citizens as deliberately un- friendiy. The keeping of our relations of amity arid peace with Germany ‘is now committed into the hands of Ger- many. It is for her to choose which path she will follow. Our self-respect, our hcnor and our safety we have re- served to our own keeping. New York Herald: The most fre- quent comment put upon the last Ger- man rote was that it was too studiously flippant and irrelevant. The comment most pertinent upon the construction of the last American note is that it is cut- ting Girect and designedly severe. Prob- ably no diplomatic note that did not precede war was ever so brutally ham- mered in facts. Language could not be stronger. It is impossible for the Ger- man Foreign Office longer to misunder- stand.

OLLOWING is the official text of the latest American note to Germany regarding submarine warfare, which was delivered to the Foreign Office at Berlin yesterday by Ambassador Gerard: The Secretary of State to Ambassador Gerard: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, July 21, 1910. textually the following note to the The note of the Imperial German Government dated the 8th of July, 1915, has received the careful consideration of the Government of the United States, and it regrets to be obliged to say that it has found it very unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet the real differences be- tween the two Governments and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in controversy, but proposes, on the contrary, arrangements for a partial suspension Of those principles which virtually set them aside. The Government of the United States notes with satisfaction that recognizes without reservation the validity of the principles insisted on in the several communications which this Government has addressed to the Imperial German Government with regard to its announcement of a war zone and the use of submarines against merchantmen on the high seas—the principle that the high seas are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must first be be seized or destroyed, and that the case be put in jeopardy unless the vessel resists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to ex- retaliation is, per se, an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as retaliatory is an admission that Disappointed in the German View. The Government of the United States is, however, keenly disap- pointed to find that the Imperial German Government regards itself as in large degree exempt from the obligation to observe these principles, even where neutral vessels are concerned, by what it believes the policy and practice of the Government of Great Britain to be in the present war with rgard to neutral commerce. ily understand that the Government of the United States can not discuss the policy of the Government of Great Britain with regard to neutral The Imperial Government will read- itself, and that it must regard the con- duct of other belligerent Governments as irrelevant toany discussion with the Imperial German Government of what this Government regards as grave and unjustfiable violations of the rights of American citizens by German Illegal and inhuman acts, however justifiable they may be thought to be against an enemy who is believed to have acted in contravention of law and humanity, are manifestly indefensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when If a belligerent cannot retaliate against an enemy without injur- ing the lives of neutrals, as well as their property, humanity as well as justice and a due regard for the dignity of neutral powers, should dictate that the practice be discontinued. If persisted in it would in such cir- cumstances constitute an unpardonable offense against the sovereignity Cannot Abate Fundamental Rig hts. The Government of the United States is not unmindful of the ex- traordinary conditions created by this war or of the radical alterations of circumstances and method of attack produced by the use of instru- mentalities of naval warfare which the nations of the world can not have had in view when the existing rules of International law were formu- reasonable allowance for these novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea; but it can not consent to abate ation of circumstances. new circumstances to them. The events of the past two months have clearly indicated that it is possible and practicable to conduct such submarine operations as have eharacterized the activity of the Imperial German Navy within the so- called war zone in substantial accord with accepted practices of regu- lated warfare. The whole world has looked with interest and satisfaction at the dem- onstration of that possibility by German naval commanders. festly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which it has aroused and rémove the chief cause of offense. compromise, and at any cost. way. as deliberately unfriendly. Note Lusitania Disavowal Insisted Upon. In view of the admission of illegality made by the imperial Gov- ernment when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts, and in view of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval warfare, the Government of the United States cannot be- lieve that the Imperial Government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an illegal act. The Government of the United States, while not indifferent to the friendly spirit in which it is made, cannot accept the suggestion of the Imperial German Government that certain vessels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seas now illegally proscribed. The very agreement would, by implication, subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this Government contends and which in times ‘of calmer counsels every nation would concede as of course. The Government of the United States and the Imperial German Gov- ernment are contending for the same great object, have long stood to- gether in urging the very principles upon which the Government of the United States now so solemnly insists. They are both contending for the freedom of the seas. The Government of the United States will continue to contend for that freedom from whatever quarter violated, without It invites the practical cooperation of the Imperial German Govern- ment at this time when cooperation may accomplish most and this great common object be most strikingly and effectively achieved. Protection for American Citizens. The Imperial German Government expresses the hope that this ob- ject may be in some measure achieved even before the present war ends. It can be. The Government of the United States not only feels obliged to insist upon it, by whomsoever violated or ignored, in the protection of its own citizens, but is also deeply interested in seeing it made prac- ticable between the belligerents themselves, and holds itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a In the meantime the very value which this Government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between the people and Government of the United States and the people and Government of the German na- tions, impels it to press very solemnly upon the Imperial German Gov- ernment the necessity for a scrupulous observance of neutral rights this critical matter, Friendship itself prompts it to say to the Imperial German Government that repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the Government of the United States, when they affect American citizens, It is mani- in LANSING.

MIDDLE WEST. _ Chicage Herald: President Wilson's third note to the German Government is couched in the language which no in- telligant man would resent from a neigh- bor whose friendship he values It is admirable alike for its courtesy and can- dor. It dieguises not the offense and it reviles not the offender. It ts @ state p: er that every American should read and that every true American will read, with thankfulness that the nation has in the White House a President capable of voicing so accurately its deliberate judgments and its heartfelt convictions. Chicago Tribune: The reply appears to be final] so far as the American con- tentions of law and rights are concerned. If not an ultimatum in form, it is an ultimatum in fact. The door of discus- sion is closed. If a majority of the press has voiced public opinion fairly, this im- portant and probably irrevocable action has the approval of the American people. Most newspapers, at any rate, have de- nanced the firm course and no retreat rom the position taken in this and jrevious interchanges with Germany. Cleveland Leader: The tone and meaning of the American reply to the latest note from the Imperial Govern- ment of Germany can not be mistaken vr ooscured. No anxiety to read hope- fulness in the carefully chosen words of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing serve to hide their deep and momentous import. They are a warning, which ts none the less impressive because of the moderation of its phraseology and the friendliness of its spirit. An issue of the gravest character passes from Wash- ington to Berlin. The nation stands with the President. It will sustain him to the end. Ciacinnati Commercial Tribune: While there is nothing offensive in the tone of the President’s latest note, there can be no doubt concerning his Getermination to insist upon such a modification of the submarine warfare as will minimize the danger to Amer- jeans traveling abroad. While there w no threat of what the United States Government proposes to do if its views are not complied with, the unmistak- able inference is that such an act would be considered so unfriendly as *o lead to a serious crisis between the two Governments. St. Paul Pioneer Press: President Wilson gives in new language and with more force and still deeper solemnity than before the old, old bill of human rights before which men and Govern- ments must bow or surrender their title to civilzation and humanity. It is the declaration representing to the last word the sentiment of a free people who know their rights, have determined to defend them and though desirous of avoiding trouble have the courage to face it “without compromise” and at any coset.

The Times in an editorial dealing with the position of the United States, gen- erally referred to President Wilson's third note to Germany and declared that it “‘seems likely that Wilhelm Stratte will again take refuge in the evasive and dilatory tactics hitherto employed there.”’ The paper adds that there is a limit to the successful employment of such manoeuvers and declares Germany is presuming upon American patience and pacifism as she presumed upon British patience and pacifism last year. The editorial protests against Wash- ington’s intimation to Great Britain that American rights will be insisted upon under the principles of interna- tional law as hitherto established as be- ing a manifestly excessive claim and not in accordance with the example set by the American Government and Amer- ican courts during the American Civil war. The Times concludes by expressing the hope that when the British Govern- ment’s decisions on this point are taken, the United States will give them sympa- thetic and friendly consideration. of the American position. It shows no backdown. Whatever its influence else- where, it has the unlversal approval of Americans. Nashville Tenmesseean and Amer- fean: There is no more chance for dodging on the part of Germany. She must either concede the demand or con- fess herself an outlaw nation. Birmingham Age-Herald: Every word was weighed, and now the world will wait with eager interest Germany'* reply. President Wilson will stand by his last word and the people will stand loyally and unflinchingly by him. WEST. Salt Lake Tribume: President Wil- son's note does not appear to be a re- cession from his former attitude, how- ever mild his form of expression. Some may object that his determination to insist upon the letter of American rights is not expressed forcibly enough, but the outcome probably will show that his re- straint is wise. Walla Walle (Wash.) Union: On the whole, the note is friendly, asserts American rights with dignity and un- diminished firmness, but opens the way to a happy settlement, by the simplso expedient of submarine cornmanders ex- ercising care in the future. Butte (Monat.) Mimer: From begin- ning to end the note expressed the un- biased opinion of every patriotic Ameri- can citizen and it is just the kind of communication which every Americar citizen would desire his Government to send. Sacramento (Cal.) Unten: No American with red blood in his veins and a proper regard for the power and dignity of his country can read the vig- orous words of the President without a thrill of satisfaction. His position wil! receive the indorsement of the people of the whole country. The note is a plain warning that our last word has been said. San Jose (Cal.) Mercuery-Herald: The note indicates « rather than a weakening of the Presi- dent’s attitude.

NEW YORK, July 4—The German press of the country commented on the American note as follows: New York Staats-Zeitang: The third Lusitania note of our President te distinguished above all by its clear lan- guage. In snappy language the Wash- ington Government makes clear its standpoint on the question of the Ger- man submarine warfare against England as far that has to do with the United States. Steadfastly it stands on the principle that unarmed merchant ves@ sels chal! not be attacked without warn- ing become excited. The latest note not only in ite brilliant style but also in the pedantic lecturing tone which it as- sumes, is shown to be the personal work of the Presicent.

Cinctanati Volkabiett: We believe it would have been more conducive tc friendly relations between both coun tries if the President had adopted the German proposition to separate trans portation of passengers and ammuri- tion. The contention of the President. that he would thereby abandon Ameri: can rights, arises from the palpable e-- ror that he classes ships carrying am muaition as merchantmes.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH __ SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1915. —_ se eee i : WE pss ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH OF PRE AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS ENTHUSIASTIC IN SUPPORT eal MERICAN PRESS SOLIDLY INDORSES PRES DENT’S NOTE View Taken That It Is an Ultimatum in Fact if Not in Form, and That the Consequences Rest Entirely With Germany— Newspapers in All Sections Approve Both the Language and the Stand Taken. (THOUT a dissenting voice the American press indorses completely W and enthusiastically the President's latest note to Germany. It is looked upon as putting an end to the discussion and placing wpon the shoulders of the Kaiser the necessity of deciding whether he will have a neutral America or a hostile America. That it is an ultimatum in fact, if not in form, is the gencral view. The unanimity of the press is most striking. North, South, East and West are one in‘ assuring the President of their support of the language and purport of his note and of whatever may be the consequences. Com ment of newspapers great and small in all sections of the country follow: New York World: Under the cap- tion, “The Last Word!’ the United States is no longer concerned with what Germany says. It is concerned only with what Germany does. President Wilson's third note to the German Government in respect to the' issues of law and humanity raised by ihe Lusitania massacro is the final sord of the United States. The note is not an ultimatum in form, but it is an ultimarum in substance. The imperial Government is courteously but emphat- ically informed that the United States intends to maintain its rights as a neu- tral on the high seas, ‘‘with- out compromise and at any cost” and that “repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contra- vention of those rights must be regard- ed by the Government of the United States as deliberately unfriendly. The issue now rests with Germany: fiven the military-mad autocracy of Berlin can have no excuse for mistak- ing the meaning of these serious and measured words. Germany has talked much about the freedom of the seas. It is the free- dom of the seas which the United States is determined to maintain. There can be no freedom of the seas except in ac- cordance with the precedent.and prac- tices which the President so lucidly de- fines. The very fact tha Germany de- fends her policy of indiscriminate sub- marine warfare as “retaliatory” is, as the President points out, a confession of lawlessness; ‘‘for a belligerent act of retaliation is per se an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as re- tallatory is an admission that it is ille- gal.” Retaliation by Germany. Germany professes to be retaliating against Great Britain, because of the British blockade of the German coast. In reality, as the President makes clear, Germany is retaliating against the United States and other neutral na- tions for the acts of her enemy. In re- spect to that question there can be no answer to the President's assertion, that “illegal and inhuman acts, how- ever justifiable they may be thought to be against an enemy who is believed to have acted in contravention of law and inhumanity, and manifestly inde- fensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right to life ft- self.”’ , German naval commanders have shown that it {is possible to conduct submarine warfare in accordance with the princi- ples of international law and with due regard to thé rights of neutrals anid noncombatants. There in not a single well authenticated instance in which a German submarine has been destroyed or a German sailor lost his life by such conformity to the established law of nations, If Germany desires peace and friend- ship with the United States, it need sur- render no lawful or essential military advantage. The President does not ask that submarine warfare be abandoned or that it be rendered futile. He de- mands only that so far as Americans are concerned it must conform to the law and humanity which were univer- sally recognized until the German Gov- ernment suddenly became obsessed with ites maniacal theories of ‘‘frightfulness.”’ Exects Minimum Demand. What the President exacts of Ger- many is the minimum that a self-re- specting nation can demand of another responsible nation which has wilful'y murdered its citizens and deliberately outraged ite sacred rights. He there- fore insists that Germany shall disavow “the wanton.«ct of its naval comman- der in sinking the Lusitania;"’ that it shall “offer reparation for American lives lost, so far as reparation can be teade for a needless destruction of hu- man life by an tllegal act,” and thet there must be no repetition by German = yyvanders of such crimes against citi- zens of the United States. These demands are not excessive and * formulating them President Wilson speaks not only for the American peo- ple, but for civilization itself. Unless the United States maintains its neutral rights, cost,’ there are no neutral rights left which any belligerent is bound to re- spect, and the whole world is given over to the terror of the sword. New York Sen: The future lies with the Kateer. The United : States wi unabated friendship stands not as| invasion of cur rights. * * “without compromise at any’ a suppliant for favor, seeks no privilege; the rights of neutrals and neutral na- tionals, founded in custom and but- tressed by law, enlist our defense. To invade them must be an act unfriend- ly, not alone to the immediate suf- ferers but to all mankind. There can be no rmisunderstanding, no misinterpretation of the message, de- tailing with firmness and admirable clarity our dissatisfaction with the Ger- man course, that went to Berlin yes- terday. The German answer may come in words. It may be expressed in deeds. Whatever its tenor the United States has done neither more nor less than its obligations demanded and con- fronts the future confident and with conscience. ws e New York Tribune: Under the cap- tion ‘“Deliberately Unfriendly,’’ the Tribun&S says in part: Not even a German Foreign Secretary reading the closing paragraph of the latest note can misunderstand its meaning, fail to comprehend what will be the conse- quence’ of another Lusitania massacre. The decision for the future belongs to Germany, but the consequences are no longer hidden. Amerivan citizens will hope that the bandage will now fall from German eyes. They will hope that German rulers will at last perceive that no nation can consent to the mur- der of its citizens, the invasion of its rights, the destruction of its liberties merely because of real or fancied ad- vantage to Germany by such injuries. In telling the German Government that further invaston of American rights, new attacks upon American lives must be regarded as deliberately un- friendly, the President has closed a debate which could no longer be con tinued and he has conveyed a final and solemn warning that cannot be misun- derstood. Whatever be the consequences of the note itself, no question of partisan or personal difference will contribute to weaken the effect of a message which expresses the will of the whole Ameri- can people. New York Press: The Press de- clares that the notes gets down to busi- ness at the outset, and adds in part: But it would have had a hundred times the force it had if it had been slammed straight back at Berlin as svon as Von Jagow's irrelevant and unresponsive re- ply was received. New York Times: I[t rests with Germany to say whether she desires the continuance of friendly relations be- tween the two Governments and the two peoples. Our note cannot be com- plained of as unfriendly. It is dictated by the earnest desire for the contin- uance of the most friendly relations with Germany threatened only by her * The Pres- ident and the Secretary of State speak with the voice of the Government, with the voice of the American people when they declare that friendship itself prompts them to say to the imperial Government that repetition by the com- manders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the Government of the United States when they affect American citizens as deliberately un- friendly. The keeping of our relations of amity and peace with Germany ‘is now committed into the hands of Ger- many. It is for her to choose which path she will follow. Our self-respect, our hcnor and our safety we have re- served to our own keeping. New York Herald: The most fre- quent comment put upon the last Ger- man rote was that it was too studiously flippant and irrelevant. The comment most pertinent upon the construction of the tast American note is that it is cut- ting Girect and designedly severe. Prob- ably no diplomatic note that did not precede war was ever so brutally ham- mered in facts. Language could not be stronger. It is impossible for the Ger- man Foreign Office longer to misunder- stand.

OLLOWING is the official text of the latest American note to Germany regarding submarine warfare, which was delivered to the Foreign Office at Berlin yesterday by Ambassador Gerard: The Secretary of State to Ambassador Gerard: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, July 21, 1915. textually the following note to the The note of the Imperial German Government dated the 8th of July, 1915, has received the careful consideration of the Government of the United States, and it regrets to be obliged to say that it has found it very unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet the real differences be- tween the two Governments and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in controversy, but proposes, on the contrary, arrangements for a partial suspension of those principles which virtually set them aside. The Government of the United States notes with satisfaction that the Imperial Germdn Government recognizes without reservation the validity of the principles insisted on in the several communications which this Government has addressed to the Imperial German Government with regard to its announcement of a war zone and the use of submarines against merchantmen on the high seas—the principle that the high seas are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must first be ascertained befote she can lawfully be seized or destroyed, and that the lives of noncombatants may in no case be put in jeopardy unless the vessel resists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to ex- amination; for a belligerent act of retaliation is, per se, an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as retaliatory is an admission that Disappointed in the German View. The Government of the United States is, however, keenly disap- pointed to find that the Imperial German Government regards itself as in large degree exempt from the obligation to observe these principles, even where neutral vessels are concerned, by what it believes the policy and practice of the Government of Great Britain to be in the present war with rgard to neutral commerce. ily understand that the Government of the United States can not discuss the policy of the Government of Great Britain with regard to neutral trade except with that Government itself, and that it must regard the con- duct of other belligerent Governments as irrelevant toany discussion with the Imperial German Government of what this Government regards as grave and unjustfiable violations of the rights of American citizens by German Illegal and inhuman acts, however justifiable they may be thought to be against an enemy who is believed to have acted in contravention of law and humanity, are manifestly indefensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right to life itself.

The Government of the United States is not unmindful of the ex- traordinary conditions created by this war or of the radical alterations of circumstances and method of attack produced by the use of instru- mentalities of naval warfare which the nations of the world can not have had in view when the existing rules of International law were formu- lated, and it is ready to make every reasonable allowance for these novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea; but it can not consent to abate Text of the Latest American Note | to Germany on.

It is the duty and obligation of belligerents to find a way to adapt the ation of circumstances. new circumstances to them. The events of the past two months have clearly indicated that it is possible and practicable to conduct such submarine operations as have eharacterized the activity of the Imperial German Navy within the so- called war zone in substantial accord with accepted practices of regu- lated warfare. The whole world has looked with interest and satisfaction at the dem- onstration of that possibility by German naval commanders. festly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which it has aroused and rémove the chief cause of offense. ‘Lusitania Disavowal Insisted Upon. In view of the admission of illegality made by the imperial Gov- ernment when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts, and in view of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval warfare, the Government of the United States cannot be- lieve that the Imperial] Government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an illegal act. The Government of the United States, while not indifferent to the friendly spirit in which it is made, cannot accept the suggestion of the Imperial German Government that certain vessels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seas now illegally proscribed. The very agreement would, by implication, subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this Government contends and which in times ‘of calmer counsels every nation would concede as of course. The Government of the United States and the Imperial German Gov- ernment are contending for the same great object, have long stood to- gether in urging the very principles upon which the Government of the United States now so solemnly insists. They are both contending for the freedom of the seas. The Government of the United States will continue to contend for that freedom from whatever quarter violated, without compromise, and at any cost. way. as deliberately unfriendly. It invites the practical cooperation of the Imperial German Govern- ment at this time when cooperation may accomplish most and this great common object be most strikingly and effectively achieved. Protection for American Citizens. The Imperial German Government expresses the hope that this ob- ject may be in some measure achieved even before the present war ends. It can be. The Government of the United States not only feels obliged to insist upon it, by whomsoever violated or ignored, in the protection of its own citizens, but is also deeply interested in seeing it made prac- ticable between the belligerents themselves, and holds itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a In the meantime the very value which this Government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between the people and Government of the United States and the people and Government of the German na- tions, impels it to press very solemnly upon the Imperial German Gov- ernment the necessity for a scrupulous observance of neutral rights. in this critical matter, Friendship itself prompts it to say to the Imperial German Government that repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the Government of the United States, when they affect American citizens, It is mani- LANSING. er abandoned in the Wilhelmstrasse— and a final, definite statement of the ground upon which the Government of the United States must and will stand in defense of the rights of neutral na- tions in time of war upon the high seas.

Boston Post: The note is so clear, so straightforward, so lacking in the customary frills of diplomatic language that there seems no longer any possi- bility of an evasive or argumentative reply.

If she wants to be friendly we are ready to he so upon reasonable terms, but if she does not we must place the blame for what will follow upon her. We have been very patient, but patience now ceases to be a virtue. Johnstown (Pa.) Democrat: The latest note to Germany ig not a not». It is an ultimatum. MIDDLE WEST. . Chicage Herald: President Wilson's third note to the German Government is couched In the language which no iIn- telligant man would resent from a neigh- bor whose friendship he values. It is admirable alike for its courtesy and can- dor. It disguises not the offense and p: er that every American should read and that every true American will read, with thankfulness that the nation has in the White House a President capable of voicing so accurately its deliberate judgments and its heartfelt convictions. Chicago Tribune: The reply appears to be final so far as the American con- tentions of law and rights are concerned. If not an ultimatum in form, it is an ultimatum in fact. The door of discus- sion is closed. If a majority of the press has voiced public opinion fairly, this im- portant and probably irrevocable action has the approval of the American people. Most newspapers, at any rate, have de- nanced the firm course and no retreat rom the position taken in this and erevious interchanges with Germany. Cleveland Leader: The-tone and meaning of the American reply to the latest note from the Imperial Govern- ment of Germany can not be mistaken vr ooscured. No anxiety to read hope- fulness in the carefully chosen words of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing serve to hide their deep and momentous import. They are a warning, which ts none the less impressive because of the moderation of its phraseology and the friendliness of ite spirit. An issue of the gravest character passes from Wash- ington to Berlin. The nation stands with the President. It will sustain him to the end. Ciacinnati Commercial Tribune: While there is nothing offensive in the tone of the President’s latest note, there can be no doubt concerning his Getermination to insist upon such a modification of the submarine warfare as will minimize the danger to Amer- icans traveling abroad. While there Ww no threat of what the United States Government proposes to do if its views are not complied with, the unmistak- able inference is that such an act would be considered so unfriendly as *o lead to a serious crisis between the two Governments. St. Paul Pioneer Press: President Wilson gives in new language and with more force and still deeper solemnity than before the old, old bill of human rights before which men and Govern- ments must bow or surrender their title to civilization and humanity. [It is the declaration representing to the last word the sentiment of a free peopic who know their rights, have determined to defend them and though desirous of avoiding trouble have the courage to face it “without compromise” and at any cost.

The solution of the controversy as proposed by Ger- many does not seem to abridge our rights in a manner that calls for eacri- fice of national honor itn accepting. There is a practica) and far-reaching it reviles not the offender. It is a state side to the situation which has made « + ee 4 potent appeal to the man in the street and his verdict is almost unanimous that there is nuthing in the controversy that should push this nation nearer the bleody vortex that has involved more than half of the world. Louisville Courier-Journal: Straight and strong. clear and Outright it is as honest Anglo-Saxon speech can be when it brushes aside the artificialities and clegance of conventional diplomacy and drives direct from human heart and Srain. No true American can read it without a thrill that in this hour his country has such a spokesman, without a quickening of every red blood cor- puscle in his veins. Pittsburg Gasette-Times: The Pres- ‘dent has done well in refusing to dis- cuss Great Britain's relations with Ger- inany in determining the rights of the United States as affected by Germany’s course. Pittsburg Dispatch: The responsi- bility is squarely put up to Germany. Mansas City Times: No one Ameri- can citizen who hopes war with any and all countries should be averted (and that should include everybody) wants it to be averted because Theodore Roosevelt said the other nations believe this nation is not worth kicking. SOUTH. Charleston (8. C.) News and Cour- fer: It now rests wholly with Ger- many whether or not the Congress of the United States shall be assembled in extraordinary session to uphold the hands of the President and take such action against the imperial German Government as the dignity and safety of the country may demand. Memphis Cemmercial Appeal: The note has the force of an ultimatum without bellicose threatening. Richmend Times-Dispatch: dent Wilson has closed the further discussion of the rights of neu- trails on the high seas. Speaking with the voice of his people, as well as with the voice of humanity, the President tells Germany that neutral prerogatives wrung by civilization from barbarism, must be respected. Baltimere Sen: The note puts an end to all quibbling as to the future. Germany is given her choice between the neutrality of the United States or its hostility. Pres! - Richmeed Virgtuian: Whatever the result, this nation rests assured that every means at ite command has been employed to present cur demands within the bounds of peaceful negotiation.

The Times in an editorial dealing with the position of the United States, gen- erally referred to President Wilson's third note to Germany and declared that it ‘“‘seems likely that Wilhelm Stratte will again take refuge in the evasive and dilatory tactics hitherto employed there.”’ The paper adds that there is a limit to the successful employment of such manoeuvers and declares Germany is presuming upon American patience and pacifism as she presumed upon British patience and pacifism last year. The editorial protests against Wash- ington’s intimation to Great Britain that American rights will be insisted upon under the principles of interna- tional law as hitherto established as be- ing a manifestly excessive claim and not in accordance with the example set by the American Government and Amer- ican courts during the American Civil war. The Times concludes by expressing the hope that when the British Govern- ment’s decisions on this point are taken, the United States will give them sympa- thetic and friendly consideration. of the American position. It shows no backdown. Whatever its influence else- where, it has the unlversal approval of Americans. Nashville Tenmesseean and Amer- feam: There is no more chance for dodging on the part of Germany. She must either concede the demand or con- fess herself an outlaw nation. Birmingham Age-Herald: Every word was weighed, and now the world will wait with eager interest Germany'= reply. President Wilson will stand by his last word and the people will stand loyally and unflinchingly by him. WEST. Salt Lake Tribume: President Wil- son’s note does not appear to be a re- cession from his former attitude, how- ever mild his form of expression. Some may object that his determination to insist upon the letter of American rights is not expressed forcibly enough, but the outcome probably will show that his re- straint is wise. Walla Walla (Washk.)

Butte (Moat.)

NEW YORK, July 4—The German press of the country commented on the American note as follows: New Yerk Staats-Zeitaung: The third Lusitania note of our President te distinguished above all by its clear lan- guage. In snappy language the Wash- ington Government makes clear tts standpoint on the question of the Ger- man submarine warfare against England as far that has to do with the United States. Steadfastly it stands on the principle that unarmed merchant ves- sels chal! not be attacked without warn- ing become excited. The latest note not only in its brilliant style but also in the pedantic lecturing tone which it as- sumes, is shown to be the personal work of the Presicent. It bears no more the nature «f an ultimatum than its prede- cessors. Cincinnati Freie Presse: The idea of a demand upon a belligerent Power to abandon a certain method of war- fare which furnished the only possibi'- ity to force her opponent to his kneet simply because such method would ¢t- danger the lives of passengers who en- ter the war zone upon enemy ships, had so far not occurred to anyone. At a4 time when the Union fought so des perately for its existence, the Congres# passed an act designating every person found upon enemy territory an enemy, no matter whether such person was @- American or foreigner. An act of de fense against a brutal enemy can never be considered an unfriendly act againrt a neutral state, certainly mot as * “deliberately unfriendly” act. Cincitanati Volkablett: We believe it would have been more conducive t¢ friendly relations between both coun tries if the President had adopted ths German proposition to separate trans portation of passengers and ammuni- tion. The contention of the President, that he would thereby abandon Ameri: can rights, arises from the palpable e*- ror that he classes ships carrying am muaition as merchantmes. They ate auxiliary men-of-war. Thé failure t¢ grasp this vital difference vitiates arguments of the President. But, for ail that, we are confident that the sterd raised by the Lusitania incident wii blow over. a“ many flings logic to the winds.

HE undersigned has the honor to make the following reply to his Excellency, Ambassador Ger- ard, to the note of the 10th ultimo, re. the impairment of American in- terest by the German submarine war. The Imperial Government learned with satisfaction from the note how earnestly the Government of the United States is concerned in seeing the principles of humanity realized in the present war. Also this appeal finds ready in Germany and the Imperial Gov- ernment is quite willing to permit its statements and decisions in the present case to be governed by the principles of humanity just as it has done always. The Imperial Government welcomed with gratitude when the American Government in the note of May 15 itself recalled that Germany had al- ways permitted itself to be governed by the principles of progress and hu- manity in dealing with the law of maritime war. Since the time when Frederick the Great negotiated with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jef- ferson the Treaty of Friendship and Commerce of Sept. 9, 178, between Prussia and the Republic of the West, Germany and American statesmen have, in fact, always stood together in the struggle for the freedom of the seas and for the protection of peaceable trade. In the international proceedings which since have been conducted for the regulation of the laws of mari- time war, Germany and America have jointly advocted progressive principles, erpecially the abolishment of the right of capture at sea and echo them, it is the sacred duty of the imperial Government to do all with- in its power to protect and save the lives of German subjects. If the imperial Government were derelict in these, its duties, it would be guilty before God and history of the violation of those principles of highest humanity which are the foundation of every national exist- ence. The case of the Lusitania shows with horrible clearness to what jeop- ardizing of human lives the man- ner of conducting war employed by adversaries leads. In the most direct contradictions of international law, all distinctions between merchantmen and war ves- sels have been obliterated by the pr- der to British merchantmen to arm themselves and to ram submarines and the promise of rewards therefor, and neutrals who use merchantmen as travelers thereby have been ex- posed in an increasing degree to all the dangers of war. No Danger to Legitimate Shipping. If the commander of the German submarine which destroyed the Lu- Sitania had caused the crew and pas- Sengers to take to the boats before firing a torpedo, this would have meant the sure destruction of his own vessel. After the experiences in sinking much smaller and less sea- worthy vessels, it was to be expect- ed that a mighty ship like the Lusi- tania would remain above water long enough even after the torpedoing to permit passengers to enter the ship’s boats. Circumstances of a very peculiar kind, especially the presence on | its adversaries and announced by SATURDAY EVENLNG, JULY 24, 1915. { FIRST PLAY DAY PICNICKERS OUT IN PARKS AT 7 A.M Polo Game in Forest Park to Be Feature of Day’s Cele- bration.

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, July %4.—The $6000 ransom demanded for the safe re- turn of Ernest A. Empey, wealthy ranger, who, with his son, was kidnaped from his ranch Tuesday, will not be paid. Empey today is in safe hands in Montpelier and his abductor is under arrest. Lon Dean, a sheep herder, who, au- thorities say, admits he kidnaped PF. A.

Dean was cap. tured on Sheep Mountain last night, after Empey had escaped. Dean, a slightly-built man, 5 feet 4 inches in height, explained his crime by saying: “I took this means of getting money, as I thought I could do more good with it than those who had it.” Asked regarding the anxiety he had caused the family of his wealthy cap- tive, he said he ‘hadn't thought of that.””’ He claims Salem, Utah, as his home.

The Daily Mail, in an editorial, says: “it will be a gross public scandal if this matter is not dealt with, before Farliament rises, to save our soi#iers.” Warning to Britain Replying to newspapers and ‘publiciets who are demanding that cotton shall be made absolute contraband regardless of the effect of such action on neutral na tions, the Weekly Nation says: ‘Some such similar action unite! against us in active warfare or arme neutrality the while civilized world a hundred years ago, even in the end dragging us into a dreary fight with the United States.”’ The Nation points out that Great Britain protested against cotton being declared contraband during the Russo- Japanese War and that in the declara- tion of London the British representn- tives insisted upon having cotton placed on ths free Mist. The Nation considers, however, that, if Germany diverted all cotton supplies for the manufacture of munitions cf war, &@ new situation would have arisen and the declaration of cotton as abso- lute contraband could be justified before the world, but even then the treatment of cotton destined for neutral states would remain to be considered, and the Nation advises critics to leave the de- cision to the Foreign Office, which has all the facts.

On Nov. 14, 1914, the English Pre- mier declared in the House of Com- mons that it was one of England's principal tasks to prevent food for the German population from reach- ing Germany via neutral ports. Since March 1 England has been taking from neutral ships, without further formality, all merchandise proceeding to Germany, as well as all merchandise coming from Ger- many, even when neutral property. Just as it was also with the Boers, the German people are now to be given the choice of perishing from starvation with its women and chil- dren or of relinquishing its inde- pendence.

Then there is the item of pure milk te be taken care of, both of these for at least four months. That is a con- vincing fact in the situation, showing that the army undertaking to supply these needs for saving the lives of the infants upon whom the future of the community’ rests in part, has much yet to accomplish. But the Fund is growing splendidly, and with it the enthusiasm that over- comes every element making otherwise for failure. The boys and girls blessed with tmmunity from conditions such as imperil the lives of infants in the overcrowded districts of the city are making a whole-summer campaign of it.

LOUIS GIRL FOUND CLAD ~TIMISSING FIREMAN | Valiant Members of the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund Army WROTE HE WOULD JUMP. IN RIVER Wife of W. H. Smith Says He Worried Over Debts and Feared for His Position. Walter H avenue, a probationary fireman of En- gine Company No. 24, has not been at his home or at the engine company’s headquarters, at Twelfth and Spruce streets, since Thursday. A few hours after Smith departed from home, ostensibly to go to work, his wife received a special delivery létter signed with his name, telling her he meant to jump in the river. The letter asked Mrs. Smith never to tell their only child, Mary Aline, 2 years old, that her father had killed himself. Mrs. Smith today refused to known the full contents of the letter. One sentence read: “I will have jumped in the Mississippi River when you re- ceive this.’’ Worried by Bill Collectors. Persistence of creditors in collecting bills from him and a fear that he had not successfully passed an examination before the newly created Efficiency Board, are given by Mrs. Smith as rea- sons why her husband had been greatly worried in the last few weeks. Smith was appointed a probationary fireman last January at a salary of $9 a month. Under the old charter his salary would have been increased to $90 a month in June, without furthe- examination or efficiency tests. The new charter provided that probation- aries must stand a rigid efficiency ex- amination before their appointments could be made permanent. Recently Smith took this examina tion, involving physical and mental tests. According to his wife he wor- ried a to his percentage in the ex- amination and feared he would not be retained in the department. Names of the probationaries who passed the ex- amination have nct yet been announced. Smith feared he would be rejected az being under weight. This fear was in. creased when two other firemen were Gismissed from the department for that cause. Weight Right at Examination. When Smith took the examination, about two weeks ago, he weighed 14 pounds, the exact specified weight for a man of bis height. Since then he had 4 slight attack of ptomaine puisoning and he feared this had reduced his weight tc such an extent that he would be reject- ed, his wife said. make Smith of 6901 Cote Brilliante RACE SEGREGATION. ORDINANCE 10 BE DECIDED BY BALLOT Petition Initiating One Measure Bears More Than Enough Bona Fide Names. The election Board ruled yesterday that, bearing 16,485 bona fide names, the initlative petition for a segrega- tion ordinance were sufficient to re- quire its submission at a special election before February 17, 1916. The ordinance provides that in blocks now ocupied entirely by either whites or negroes, the opposite race shall not be permited to assume residence, and that city blocks in which both races now reside shall remain open to either white or negro residents. This ordinance is patterned after a municipal law at Baltimore which has been tested. legally and upheld as constitutional by the Court of Ap- peals, the highest tribunal of Mary- land. Second Petition Being Checked. A second segregation ordinance, accompanied by an identical list of | initiative petitioners, patterned after a Louisville, Ky., ordinance, probably will be submitted at the same special election. It provides that in blocks LLY ae Se a new trial, the stay will be given auto 25 "4 p on cloth FOR SALE BY YOUR LEADING LOCAL DEALER ee wherein 6f per cent of the dwellings are ocupied at date of pasasge by | either whites or negroes, the oppo- site race shall not be permitted to assume residence. The Election Board is now checking the petition accompanying this ordinance. Voters will have an opportunity of voting separately on the measures, each of which may stand if adopted irrespective of the fate of the other. A committee of five citizens, repre- senting the petitions, favors the adoption.of both measures by the public, as a complete program of se- gregation. Property Rights Question. The Louisville ordinance was enacted in May 1914, and was upheld by the Ken- tucky Supreme Court the same year. The Baltimore ordinance was enacted in 1913, and superseded an act of 1911, which the Maryland courts declared unconsti- tutional on the ground that it attempted to deprive property owfers of vested rights acquired prior to the date of en- actmert. The newer ordinance corrected limiting application to those who at- ed biocks after the enactment of the ordinance. The ordinarces pending here aim only A New Through Train to Chicago.

When creditors learned he had joined the fire department collectors “swooped down on him,” Mrs, Smith &aid, and he frequently told her the bur- den of his debts was almost too great to bear. He had been counting on his pro- motion and salary raise to end his finan- cial troubles. At the engine house today it was said Smith always seemed cheerful there and never complained of having any worries.

Hast St. Louis Children Aid, Interest in the well-being of the needy babies of St. Louis is not contined to the city. More than one contribution has this season come from iné¥e or less re- mote points, extending to Texas and Arkansas, the latter being from grown people. In vesterday’s acknowledgements was one of $1.10 from Fast St. Louis. It came from three tiny girls, who earned it thfough an entertainment given by them at 420 North Twenty-sixth street, the home of two of them, Mildred and Rosalie Neurenther. They were assisted by Mamie Whilt of 413 North Twenty- sixth street, and the affair was pro- nounced very happily conceived and de- lightfully carried through. Little Misses Roberta Goodenow and Margaret McIntyre united in a Fund benefit at 59% Julian avenue, tho result being $1.60. They employed a mirror- scope for a post-card picture siow, which those witnessing it enjoyed to the utmost. .

Thirteen girls and one boy held a carnival for the benefit of the Pure Milk Fund at the home of Mrs. J. P. Hickey, 1344 Union boulevard Wednesday evening, and earned $50. Only a week before the date of the affair these little people under During the week prior to the car- nival the children busied themselves selling tickets, each of which entitled the purchaser to a 6-cent article at the carnival. Ice cream, soda water, lemonade, candy, fruit and many other articles were disposed of dur- ing the evennig. In addition to the merchandise fea- ture the young folks organized a dance indoors for those of more ma- ture age who desired that form of entertainment, Ten cents a couple was charged for the privilege and this feature of the benefit proved quite lucrative. The children who arranged _ the carnival wnet into the task fired with an ambition to earn at least $50 for the fund, and fel very grateful to the people of the neighborhood for their hearty co-operation.

SHORT HAIRS IN DEAD WOMAN'S HAND VIEWED AS MURDER CLEW Police Reject Alleged Fiance’s Opin- fon That She Killed Self, and Hold Him for Inquiry. CHICAGO, July %4.—Edwin H. Farn- ham, @ restaurant owner, was held by the police today, pending investigatioc into the death of Mrs. Mary Franklin, a widow, to whom, the police say, Farnr- ham was engaged to be married. The woman was found dead in her apartments, and although there were two knife wounds in her neck, neither of them could have caused death, physi- cians said. The police found severa! strands of short hair, apparently that of a man, clutched tightly in the woman's right hand. Farnham told the police he though: the woman had killed herself. SCORES HEIR TO $75,000 ESTATE War May Delay Distribution of Americans Property. DENVER, Colo., July %.—Forty blood relatives in this country ‘and scores in' Belgium will share in the $75,000 estate of Leonard Pieters of Parker, Colo., who died July 10. But the European war may prevent the estate from being settled for several years. Many of the heirs are fighting in the French trenches: others are wounded prisoners in German ‘hos- pitals, widows whose husbands and sons have fallen before the guns and “war babies’’ who need the food their inheri- tance would buy, must suffer. Pieters was 90 years old. He had lived as a hermit in the log cabin on his rancs. He hag at one time 20 cattle and 1000 horses.

Mollie was upstairs and doing well. The next day he saw her. He had not dared to ask about his flancee; everybody knew she was drowned.

After Mollie and he had recovered the girl gave up the little cottage and went home. “*You must let: me Come an see you, for Evelyn's sake,’ said Sotheby. “He was rather astonished when Mol- lie resolutely refused.

Then he was at Atlan- tic City. “He was seated in a secluded corner by the Boardwalk when he saw Mol- lie coming toward him. At first he thought, so striking was the resem- blance, that she was Evelyn herself. Then, as he watched her, he saw Eve- lyn in the flesh, at her side, and, be- side Evelyn a man. “The trio were advancing toward him, and Evelyn and the man were engaged in animated conversation. Vve- lyn had grown stouter and fleshier; she was still the dashing beauty of old times, but the dashingness could not carry itself so well under flesh.

She glanced at him fear- fully, and saw. he knew all. “*You have seen her?’ she cried, with a quick intake of breath. “Sotheby nodded. ‘Tell me the truth, Mollie,’ he said, taking her hand in his.

But this year we will not find them, for we have been forced into a saner atmosphere which preserves a style longer than four weeks. And, it is safe to say, that to the majority of wearers this is a wel- come fact. Just because the French race meets launched new styles, or turned and twisted them almost past recognition we were forced into a spirit of discon- tentment and vagary year after year until our minds became fickle: enough to look forward to ill-seasoned changes No Paris race meets means no change in the season's accepted styles.

But gradually they slipped from my mind, or something happened each time to prevent my carrying out my unusual plans. The old saying that “Hell is paved with good intentions” isn’t so far out of the way. When I explained to Jane what MY intentions had been my reasons for not doing as I had expected, I could see that she did not believe me, although I now knew that she wanted to. Jane had asked me again to dis- charge Miss Reese, but I had made up my mind not to give in to her. Why should I discharge so Competent an as- sistant just for a foolish, untenable no- tion? I did not enjoy being on such bad terms with Jane, far from it. But I was stubborn. I would not encour- age her in her wrong thinking and acting, knowing I was innocent of any wrong, even in thought; looking upon Miss Reese as a valuable part of the machinery that made for my success. Positive that she (Miss Reese) thought of me only as her employer, made her ebjections singularly innocuous. _ At times I tried to prove to Jane that I cared only for her; but I was with her so little, she so distorted my every word and action—I suppose because of her distrust of me—that at times I felt hopeless that we would ever be any- thing more to each other than we then were—which was practically nothing.

All I had tried to do for her, because of her, seemed only to have driven us further apart—the auto- mobile, my learning to dance, etc. Oc- casionally I would wonder what Jane was thinking of when I saw a sad look in her eyes. I tried not to think of it, but at times I had the idea that she might be grieving for Hemming, that ii was love for him that brought that look to her face. Once I sald faceti- ously: “A penny for your thoughts, Jane!’ “They aren’t worth even a penny,” she returned. ‘Bad thoughts are worth- less—or should be,”’ she added. “But you shouldn't have thoughts,’ I replied, still lightly. “No, I suppose not, but it is hard to control them sometimes.”’ At this time I often wished I might know the real inward thoughts my wife had. But she invariably put an inhi- bition on herself in my presence and- I was shut out from anything like inti- macy.

I was financially suc- cessful and on the high road to the professional recognition my ambition demanded. Yet at times I was uneasy, though never quite unhappy—I was too self-centered. But I was discon- tented with my home life. Had it not been for Miss Reese, her congenial companionship and understanding of my interests, I should perhaps have been more widely awake to conditions. But she had such a fund of common sense; she had read and studied those. things of moment to me in my career and could talk intelligently of them. So I never missed these things in Jane. Miss Reese supplied the lack—a lack caused by my own engrossing selfish- ness in the first years of our married life. “Bat’s Blindness.” HAT I did miss was the expres- W sions of love, the caresses I sometimes longed for, and wnich were so freely, so joyously given our son. At times I was jealous of my boy. But these times were infrequent and soon forgotten. Often when Jane was out I would linger in the office longer than was necessary or usual. Miss Reese would have something of interest to tell me, or we would discuss some new patient whose case presented unusual features. A dangerous thing for a man to do— rot dangerous in that I ever wavered in my fealty to Jane, but that it gave her that impression.

Over &% per cent of the liquor entering Africa goes from Boston, Mass. Recently a schooner sailed from Boston with 700,- gallons of New England rum on board. Bottles of rum in crates were lashed on the deck. Every seaman was compelled to sign a total absti- nence pledge before signing articles for the voyage. Boston from which missionaries have been sent out for over a hundred years, now in this year of grace is sending cut what Lyman Beecher called “liquid damnation.” This is the same city that sent out Adoniram Judson and his fellow mis- sionaries to enlighten the heathen. The a ty > OF :9]O9O6-O6 ~~ — United States sent to the four British eclonies in Africa during the year 1912, 1,023,658 gallons of rum. In the same ‘year Germany sent 2,562,136 gallons of gin and 136,975 gallons of rum. In five years from 1907 to 1912 there were sent into those four colonies 35,680,078 gal- lens of intoxicating liquor. These figures do not inelude the Crange Free State, the Transvaal, Cape Colony, or the Portuguese, French and Spanish colonies. If to those countries already enumerated we add India, China, Japan, Ceylon, the New Hebrides and the Fiji Islands, we have the re- markable spectacle of the _ s0-ealled Christian nations pouring something like 100,000,000 gallons of rum and other intoxicating liquors in five years into countries where Christian missionaries are preaching the Gospel and trying to save souls! What wonder that Mohammedans, Brahmans and Buddhists—all total ab- stainers—should cast an eye of suspi- cion and distrust upon a religion which winks at the debasement of the people is trying to save?—The Christian Herald. Arctic Ocean Ship Route. ROGRESS in the exploitation of the steamship route to Siberla by way of the Arctic Ocean has been reported from time to time. The American Consul-General at Moscow states that interruption of other trade routes by the war will stimulate the use of the Arctic route, and that extensive prep- arations are now being made by the Siberian Association for Shipping, Trade and Industry for the shipping season of 1915. Hides, flax, hemp and other raw ma- terials to a value of $500,.w will prob- ably be sent by water to England. The association is building a settlement on the lower Yenisel. The fishing industry of the United States is not nearly as great as some of the countries of Europe, but no coun- try in the world has had the foresight to stock the inland waters as the United Dan and the Griffin mely Topics ne — —_—_- Sandman story of long ago about brave boy who vanquished a monster and became an armored knight. By Mrs. F. AN is a queer boy, father,” said the blacksmith, as he rested his huge hammer on the anvil, The old father, who sat near the door, looked up and smiled. “No, he is not queer. It is simply that you do not understand him,” re- plied the grandfather. “He wants tv be warrior and go to battle as a knight. That is not strange. Many of his ancestors were knights.” Just then Dan, a rosy-cheeked lad of 14, came running in with the news that the knight of the castle was com- ing up the road at the head of his men. Dan was happy now. He watched the soldiers as they sat about the forge chatting; he gazed with admiration at the armor and plumes which the knight wore in his helmet. Their shining shields stood against the trees and thelr lances were thrust into the sod. The next week the knight and his men rode through the mountains toward the east, but strange to say they never came out. Day after day went by and there was no news of the men, They seemed to have been swallowed up, so completely had they disappeared. The knight’s wife and pretty young daughter were broken hearted and sought in vain to find a trace of the soldiers. The men had started down the road, ridden into the pass between the mountains, and never been seen again. Then other odd things began to happen. It was said that wild lights had been seen flashing about in the mountain pass, that the rattling as if of scales had been heard on stormy nights and one girl told in trembling tones of how she had seen in the dusk a hideous monster descend from the skies, all cov- AN thought he would see how true [) were these tales, s0 one moonlight night he stole away on ‘his colt and ered with green scales, and slip into a hole in the rocka. night he stole away on his colt and rode to the pass in the hills. He climbed up to the top of the great rock and hiding under the bush sat still till near midnight. Suddenly he heard a noise above his head, then a great body came sabling by and alighted at the front of the rock. It was a huge griffin. Its Lead was like that of a tiger and it ha4 a long tail like a lisard, while from its green hide there shone a moldy light. The griffin struck the rock with its tail. It opened and the griffin van- ished within. In the top of the stone was a crack and Dan could peep down. cie saw % vast liall of black marble all lighted by the shine of the green griffin. Along the walls were red banners and in the center was a long table. But States has done. A. Walker. for at the table with hie head bowel on his hands sat the knight of the castle and his men, all fast asleep. The griffin hit the ground with his tail. \the men awoke and moving about as if walking in their sleep, began to serve him with a fine supper. “They are enchanted and cannot get free,” whispered Dan to himself, as he flew home on the back of his colt to tell his grandfather. “I thought as much,” said the grandfather, as he tottered into the blacksmith shop in the darkness. “Light the forge. I will make a magie chain which will hold the monster.” Out from his pocket he took a tiny golden medal. This he tied at the end of a silver chain over which he had said some magic words. Then he heated :t red hot, plunged it Into off and at last rubbed it with the skin of a hare till it shone like jewels. “Take this, my boy,” he sald, “I am too old to go with you. When the grif- fin comes out of the enchanted cavern at dawn, spring down just in front of him and hold th medal before his eyes —then throw the chain around his neck. He will not be able to move. But you must be quick. If you grow afraid, if you hesitate a moment, you are gone, for to grow timid is to meet death at its hands.” UT Dan was not afraid. Taking the chain, he galloped back just as the east was beginning to grow pink with the rising sun. Pres- ently he heard a noise and saw ths rock split open. Out of it came the griffin. But by the time his head was out in the road, Dan stepped right be- fore him, held up the golden medal, and, without stovping a second, threw the silver chain about the monster's neck. With a loud scream, it plunged about in vain efforts to free itself, but it soon realized it could do nothing. Its struggles had split open the rock even wider, and when at last the griffin fell with a great groan, the knight and his men within, at the table awoke from their enchanted sleep. Rushing out, they were astonished to see the boy, the dead griffin and their-own ar- mor covered with dust. A very gay procession it was that wound its way to the castle in the morning sun, and at Its rode Dan. He was taken into the family of the knight, grew up to be knight him- self, and married the pietty daughter.

In all other respects his bicycle is the same as that ridden by anyone else and is_ propelled solely by the strength and movement of his right leg. Evidence of his speed and endur- ance ig demonstrated by the fact that he is given an allowance of but eight minutes in the 10-mile race in which he will ride today, and he is pitted against some of the best road riders in the city. races at of Will in the > .

Ul. amateurs to compete in local competition, under the auspices of the Municipal] Ath- letic Agsociation. Inasmuch as the A. A. declared several days ago that it would not join the A. A, U., this action may be considered as an open breach between the two bodies, The officitl action taken last night as follows: Any athlete a member of the Amateur Athletic Union, compet- ing in the Playground events on Saturday, July 24, will be dis- qualified and suspended by the Western Association of the A. J his will be done in accordance with rule 4 of the general rules of the A, A.

A. U. athletes were entered in today’s “Playday” festivi- tiles, the events will suffer but little. Tom Whitaker, coach of the Lorelei swimming team stated this morning that four of his stars, Stuerman Forrest, Sparks and Stephens, would be kept from the open events be- cause of the action.

Olympic Star, | j POST-DISPATCH DAILY RECO OF MARKETS AND FINANCE STOCK MARKET HIGHER DESPITE NOTE TO GERMANY Wall Street Ignores Strained Diplomatic Outlook; Trad- ing Is Fair. By Leased Wire Krom the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 24.—The Evening Post in its copyrighted financial review today says: “The reception of the note to Germany today, by the Stock Exchange, was such “us might have accompanied news which insured the amicable settlement of the controversy. In one respect, indeed, this advance of prices—which occurred immediate‘y on the opening, after the text of our Government's declaration lad been read in the morning papers— was more noteworthy than other simi- lar movements which have greeted the previous documents in this dispute. On most of those previous occasions the St@k Exchange had been depressed and anxious while awaiting the Gov- crnmental statement, and the subse- quent recovery might therefore have been ascribed to a feeling of relief. In the present instance, there had been no such anticipatory decline of prices; this late communication to Berlin came on the heels of a violent and for the most part Encneerr esas rise in prices, “How far today’s response of the Stock Exchange was an accurate measure of all the probabilities now involved in the diplomatic situation, is a question of much interest. A market obstinately bent on a iced lative rise, and with considerable momentum behind it, is not always best adapted to reflect unfavorable considerations. ut, on the other hand, a market already spread out widely in a multitude of speculative accounts i8 often especially vulner- able to any adverse influence. On the whole, therefore, it is not unfair to accept the action of the Stock Ex- change as indicating public senti- ment at large. ee > so it would seem to express the view that. the peremptory reassertion of our Government's plain demands on Germany, and its positive rejection of the absurd and ‘impossible tentative compromises offered by Berlin, is the shortest road towards the satisfactory closing of the controversy. Such a judgment necessarily assumes. that peaceful counsels will prevail at Berlin itself, that the indications, in the last German note, of a strong desire to avoid a rupture with America, will con- tinue. “Practically all active stocks opened at a fractional advance over vesterday, and the high prices of the day were touched in the first half hour. The advances were largest in the ‘war order’ industrials, several of which advanced 2 points, with the fa- miliar spectacular bidding up of Bethlehem Steel, which rose 8% points. In this early strength, how- ever, the railway shares had their part, though advances in that quar- ter were mostly fractional. It was in the closing half hour that prices began to show signs of precautionary realizing, and in a good part of the list the early gains were lost. The closing, as might have been expected, was extremely irregular. “The bank statement was reason- ably strong. Although loans ine creased $12,000,000 the actual cash in the vaults of the New York banks increased $5,700,000, with a slight net gain in the reserve held elsewhere. The result was a $3,400,000 intrease in the actual week-end surplus. DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, July 24.—-Pool operations were encouraged by the reception accorded the President’s message in the street and the fact that the outside participation in the war specialties ix expanding steadilv. despite the sensational height to which prices of many of these shares have risen. Following out their well-known procedure of singling out a particular issue for efrect on the entire group, Bethlehem Steel was rushed up rapidly with more moderate advances in similar shares. Traders who had been fighting the rise in the market were impressed by the quality of the buying ane pought freely. Wasty profit-tak- ing and a desire to await enlightenment on the manner in which the President's mes- sage will be received at Kerlin caused a re- action, but there was a sharp tpturn later. Sensational buying of Electric bhoat in the ‘‘outside’’ marketsent it up 75 points to 340. The closing was strong. Bonds were steady. « — + _ — NEW YORK BOND SALES. =. ‘©, Mo. mc. B. @. Del. Hud.

ADVERSE HARVEST WEATHER JUMPS WHEAT MARKET CHICAGO, July 24.—Wheat scored a de- cided advance in price today, owl to oe favorable weather throughout the belt anid through a@ prospect that adverse conditions Were to remain over Sunday. Higher quo- tations at Liverpool counted also against the eo — opening ue to lc higher, the oan onl 1ate further extent all Reports of boar SESSIONS. Wheat locally was firm on steady cables and reports of rust damage in spring wheat. Corn and oats also were higher. The ofticial Liverpool cable said: “Strength in America and the unfavora- ble Modern Miller’s report caused Hght offerings here and resulted in a very firm undertone. Spot market was strong %d to l'4d higher with cargo market very firm. Winters and Mani- tobas 6d higher. Plates unchanged and indians $4 to 1 shilling dearer. The scarcity of offerings of winters and realization of a greatly delayed move- ment here, with strong Indian offers and expectations that Indian shipments will show a further falling off, has changed the tenor of conditions and re- sulted in free taking of new winters by importers at advancing prices. Corn market was strong. Parcels 3d to 4%d higher and spot market very firm. Argentine weather continues clear and cool.”’ Liverpool spot wheat was unchanged to l%ed higher; corn unchanged to ld higher; oats ‘%d higher.

In the course of the book one learns that property income is well protected, while service income .as8 practically no protection. This results in a great deal ef fundamental Injustice. Proper ty income may take unto itself whatever share it pleases out of the products brought fourth by the workers. The result being that the workers, thone re- lying on service income for their liv- ing, must be content with a small share or the good things of life They are usually last when the division of prod- ucts is made. These are not mere theories «ntnci- ated by Prof. Nearing. They aré con- scious from facts and fi,ures gathered by the State and Federal authorities. The figures indicate, too, that !t is absurd to talk about the extravagance of workers. After examining the wage scales and the cost of living, the read- er is bound to conclude that there is no margin left for extravagance. The au- ther is right when he ccncludes one chapter as follows: “The time may come when the Inbor- er’s conditicn Is due to his extravagance and lack of foresight. For tha pres- ent, the scale of service income offers an explanation so telling that it would require hardihood of an unusual] type tv saddle even the major portion of the blame for the situation on the ind!tvidua]l worker.”’ After finding the total amount paid t« property income, out of predurt of labor, and making most :cor-servative es- timates, the author says: “Grant, for the sake of arzument,. that the annual income paid to pr erty cwners in the United Stotes is ejual tv six billions a year. There are prob- ably 10,000,000 families in the United States which spend less than $500 a year; there are probably 12,000,000 fami- lics in the United States, which, to- gether, would have an annual expendi- ture averaging $500. The six billions of rroperty income would pay all of the expenses of these 12,000,000 familics, or, added to their incomes, would raise them to a level of income respectabil- iba From what has been pointed out it can easily be perceived that “TInecme” is a work of national importance, since un. the proper distribution of producte depends the well being of the nation. If a large portion of the product of labor goes to holders of property, it means “‘pinching the stomach” of the laborer and his children. This is pcund to have dire effects on the nation, par- ticularly where the ndtion 1s a demoe- racy like ours. (Macmillan.) THE STATE FORBIDS. HIS is an emotional play in one act, two scenes, by Sada Cowan. Stripped to its essentials, it ts a diskussion of a question that has been ded in many ways since the war began. A woman is for- bidden to prevent children for which she is unable to care, and a doctor is for- bidden to destroy at birth a hopelessly imbertie infant doomed inevitably to poverty and neglect; yet if the same woman does bring into the world and rear a healthful boy, the state may seize him, perhaps to send him to die 'n a trench. The play presents the prob- lem concretely enough, but scarcely sug- gests a solution. The publishers have called it a modern “Ghosts,’’ an exaggeration that has been pronounced upon hundreds of others which have in the slightest touched the theme of Ibsen's great tragedy. There is here no Mrs. Alving, although there was place for a Mrs. Alving of the slums. The street slang of the child, George, grates somewhat. It is perhaps good realism, but it is not art. Yet in spite of its apparent defects, the play Gisclones the essentials of a genuine dra- matic power which, once it is harnessed with the genius of creation, ought to produce big things. (Kennerly.)

Torpedo Boat Destroyer Try to Prevent Facts From Becoming Public. SEACOCK IN HOLD OPENED Extent of Damage May Not be Known Until Secretary Daniels Gives Out Report. Special te the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, July —Officials of the United States Navy were given an- other problem to solves today when rews was sent to them thet the tcrpede toat destroyer Ericsson, completed and ready for delivery, had been found in a sinking condition, Wednesday icorn- ing, ag she lay at her dock in the yaré of the New York Shipbuilding Co. Only the prompt action of officials of the company, who pleeed their largest pumps tin the Fricsson, kept the decks above water. The destroyer has been rumped out, and, besides a little green siime, appeared to be none the worse. The Erivason was nearly sunk by hayv- ing the seacock in her hold opened by some person, who visited the vessel aft- er 8 o'clock Tuesday night, when Wn- liam Boyle, the watéhman, left the éde- stroyer, and reported everything on Loard was safe for the night. As was the case with the Oklahoma, which was badly damaged by fire the night previous to the attempted sinking of the Ericason, the officials of the New York Shipbuilding Co. did ali in their power to keep these latest at- tempts to damage United States prop- erty at thein yard from becoming pub- lic. Famuel M. Knox, prasident of the company, who admitted the Oklahoma was “‘slightly’’ damaged by fire, was in New York today. In his absence h. A. Magoun, the vice president. declined to be interviewed unless the reporter wanted to write a question and send it iu to hime. All Right Whee Watchman Left. Boyle, the watchman, was not ic be found about the gates cf the plani, and it was only through his friend Thomas Keenan of the Gloucester, *})": Boyle's account of the attempt on the Lricsson could be learned. Accurd- ing to Keenan, Boyle said: “There was absolutely nothing wiong about the Ericsson a few minutexr hbe- fore I left her. I followed my «sual custom ,and made the rounds of the de- etroyer a few minutes tefore leaving the ship. There was no water in any of the compartments, nor were there a F «%. of. “When I reached the Ericsson or Wednesday morning she was sinking fast, and looked as if she was being kept above water by the lines fastened to the dock. ‘The pumps were put in her hold at once and precautions taken to keep the fact a secret. “The report was quickly spread about the yard that a hose had been found in the boat and the water which was eink- ing her came from the shore. This is not so. Those at the pumps reperted the water was not leaving the destroy- er as fast as possible. The largest pumps were put in and, while they made some headway, the water came in almost as fast as it was pumped out. It was then a sea cock was found open.” The secretary to Presi@ent Hnea a4 mitted the Ericsson had been partiy filled with water, but endeavered te make light of the accident when @frect- ly asked for a statement. He gald the water came from the shore and «a hose had been found tn one of the com- partments, but that the damage hed been very slight. Naval Officers Tuspect Vessel. Just what the damage done to the Ericsson is may not be known until « etatement is given out by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Three officers of the United States Nav} visited the yaré yesterday afternoon, when it was sald they had been aboard the Ericsson would make a report direct to Wash- ington. During the last few days the guards about the shipbuilding plant have bees increased at the gates and the water front. In order to further protect the Ericsson, which lies just across from, the battleship Oklahoma and hardly #9 yards from the Melville, about to be de- livered to the Government as a supply ship for the torpedo fleet to be formed, s eable haa been stretched across the slip keeping all boats away from the destroyer and dreadnought.
