SCHOLL REPORTS INCIDENT Alderman Bergt Unable to See Need for Haste in the Matter, He Says. The bill vacating a blind alley in the rear of the Mercantile Trust Co. Build- ing, to form part of the site of an addi- tion to the building, was defeated by the Board of Aldermen today, in a spe- cial meeting, by a vote of 18 to 12. The bill proposed a compensation of $2500 for the city, and provided that the new building must be erected within three years. The reason that at least three of the Aldermen voted against the bill was made known, after the meeting, by Al- derman Scholl. He said that the mem- bers of the committee on streets and sewers went to the Mercantile Trust Building a few days ago, to inspect the alley, and that Festus J. Wade, presi- Jent of the trust company, took them to a saloon and bought drinks for them. Could Get It for Nothing. As they were standing at the bar, he said, Wade remarked that an influential citizen had told him that he (the in- fluential citizen) could get the alley vacated for lim, for nothing. Scholl, said this remark made such an unfavorable impression on him that he determined to vote against the bill, and let Wade proceed to get the alley for nothing, with the help of his ‘“‘influ- ential’ friend. Alderman Baur, whose name was first called, voted for the bill, but in the course of the roll call another member told him of this incident and Baur quickly changed his vote to “no,” thus defeating the measure. Alderman McChesney also said that Wade’s remark, which he heard re- peated by some of the committee, though he was not present when it was made, caused his adverse vote on ; - ath pk apeeiaie exe? ¢ igi, fr Objected to Haste, The only thember Who ~-xplained his ‘Alderman Bergt. “He said he voted against the measure because he did net see why such haste was being Made to pass it in a special session. It looked to him, he said, as if the bill were being “rallroaded throuzh.” A proof sheet of the Post-Dispatch ° containing the statement made by Alderman Scholl was shown to Fes-! tus J. Wade at his office. He read it carefully, turned away with a smile and said, “I have nothing, to say.” “Will you deny the story?” “What was that Alderman’s name, again?” he asked. When reminded that it was Scholl, he shook his head and added: “Abso- lutely nothing to say.” “Said Nothing of Influential Citizen.” Asked if he would name the “influ- ential citizen” referred to, said: '“T have said nothing of an influ- ential citizen. That’s all in the,paper here. I have nothing to say.” The bill was introduced last week, at a midsummer special] term of the board. A similar measure failed of passage in the Municipal Assmbly last winter. Supporters of the bill did not, in all cases, hold that $2500 represented -the value of the ground which the city was to vacate, but they held that the erec- tion of the new building, which would bring in annual taxes, would be profita- ble to the city. Value of the Alley. The alley is a rectangular trach, , 23. feet 10 inches wide and % fet long, in the rear of tre company’s present build- ing. It opens on a north and south al- ley, and is conrected with Highth street by a private passageway four and one- half feet wide. The Post-Dieratch pointed out last Friday that the alley, if its valuation were based upon the Tax Assessor's ap-' praisement of adjoining property, would be worth many times the sum offered for it by the trest company. There were three absentees. on the bill was: Ayes—Haller, Rudolph, Weil, Wyrick, Renick, Reis, Gregory, W. C. Schwartz, Kralemann, B. lL. Schwartz, Koenig, Udell—12. Noes—Scholl, Konetzky, Otto, Wiehe, Tarome, Bérgt, Lohmann, Fett, Richter, Baur, McChesney, Bergmann Eilers— 13. The vote City Holds Easement, The city holds an easement on the alley, which entitles it to use it for alley purposes, but does not hold it in fee simple. If its use as an alley is discontinued by a vacating ordi- nance, it becomes the property of the owners of the adjoining land. The land south of the alley is owned by the trust company, and that on the north is owned by Mrs. E. A. W. Cly- mer, and is leased to the Locust Street Realty Co., of which Wade is president.

That Russia has not entirely aban- donead hope of diversion m the west which may relieve the tremendolis pressure exerted’ upon her by the Aus- tro-German armies is shown by the an- nouncement from Petrograd that the German forces before Warsaw have been heavily reinforced from the west, thereby ‘“‘creating favorable conditions for active operations by our allies.”’ Semi-official press material issued at the general headquarters in Petrograd says: “The sending of important German re- inforcements from France to our front goes back to the week of July, Russian calendar, en Field Marshal von Mackensen’ met a cruel rebuff on the Viepre River and the battle on the Narew River took on a stubborn char- acter. 7 | “For every success we have the en- emy compensates’ by piling up againet us new forces from the western front, thereby creating very favorable cond! tions for operations by our allies.’’ There has been heavy fighting on the Narew- front, whére the Germans have made some progress in the desperate battle which is raging between the Na- rew and Oje rivers.

LATHROP, Mo., Aug. 2.—When 50 or 60 horses die here a day no one pays any particular attention to it. It's only the normal death rate. For in Latrop at present there are be- tween 30,000 and 40,000 horses and mules purchased for the British army. Because of lack of transports to take them across the Atlantic they’ have been accumulating, until now all Clinton County is virtually one vast feed lot. The disaster of the sunken road at Waterloo was duplicated here a few days ago. Eleven hundred horses were being driven along a road a short distance east of town when they came to a ravine partly filled with water from the heavy rains. The horses stampeded and the front ranks were swept into the muddy pool. Many of the frantic animals were trampled to death, the bodies filling the ravine. In the Boer war in 1901, England } handled 182,000 animals through the depot here, and that number has possibly already been equaled.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, July 22.—The story of the siege of Warsaw is told for the first time by a Polish gentleman, son of 2 large land owner in/’the outskirts of tie city, who has just arrived here, and who speaks as an eyewitness fresh from the scene, his estate having been re- cently the artillery park of the Russian center, from which their heavy fie!l4 guns were manetivered for the defense of the city. When he was in Warsaw, he said, the city was the background for a million Russian troops. ‘‘The well-to-do people living east »f ithe city have passed through to points of safety in the west.” he said. “The land- “owning peasantry —for in Poland the peasants own lahd— have not the means of flight and are stranded in the city, but keep out of sight. So that the city, with its many officers in gay uniform, its strangers ‘j}and refugees, is transformed from its usual peaceful aspect and has taken o1. the appearance of a metropolis. Theaters Open and Crowded. “The streets are filled. The theaters are open ard crowded. The restaurants have throngs at their tables and on the street terrace. The cineametograph shows are packed. There are bands and concerts. The feeling of terror does not seem to have struck the crowds. It is like the life of London, which goes on with little thought of the Zeppelins. Only once has there been panic—when the Russian bank closed its doors and all other banks followed, Ready money could not be had and everyone was in dread of the stoppage of funds and the interruption of the usual means of business and exchange. But that pan- icky period has all passed, the banks are open and business is proceeding normally, but with a terrible economic change in prices, perticulariy -in food- stuffs. Wareaw is absolutely dependent for its food stpplies on two railways. But these are now in the hands of the military, wih.o need them for the move-} ment of treopnr, and the food for the troops. Poland itself supplies nothing, for the fields cre burned and yield noth- ing. “Prince fSeweryn Czetwertyuski has taken the lead in grappling the prob- lems confronting the city—firat to get enough food, and next public health and sanitation, combatting the cholera plague which carried off hundreds out- side the city with 12 cases in Warsaw, and reburying the Masses of soldier dead who had been hastily thrown to- gether in eshallcw surface graves; He is a man of great executive ability, one of the grand conseigneurs of Poland, and is at the head of Warsaw's Central Committee, which deals with all emer- gencies. Country Stripped of Eass. ‘His first effort was for food to meet the imperative needs of the city and surrounding country, chiefly corn, flour and prime necessities. The Russian au- thorities were favorable; but the mili- tary requirements came first, and, be- sides, the urgent needs led to bribery among the petty railway officials, so that cars could not be got or moved without large payments. I myself saw 500 rubles ($300) of bribery exacted for moving a car of fish. So that War- saw’s stock of food has been getting scarcer and prices are mounting. Bread is double and triple the usual price. Eggs, which sold for 2 cents, are now 6. At Easter each Russian soldier re- ceived four eggs-—a million soldiers around Warsaw meant 4,100,000 ezgs— and the country was stripped of eggs. There is absolutely no beef and a pound of poor meat now costs 60 copecks (30 cents) against the usual price of 2 copecks (12 cents) the poorest quality of steppe-oxen. ‘Meantime the army is very well fea, but back of the army is the vast hemmed-in population and peasantry virtually living on the leavinge of the army. “Prince Séweryn’s Emergency Coin- mittee has*-next given its attention to the threatening health conditions.. The dead soldiers were very badly buried at first, near wells where the water was polluted, and in heaps just under the surface near houses. But all the bodies have now been reburied deeply and away from wells and houses. This has stopped the cholera, which was the greatest dread, even in Warsaw, al- though nothing could be made known of it. In the estate next ours the house was turned into a cholera hospital and from this one place ™0 dead were buried, It is on the main line of the passing army, so that many soldiers were stricken with the plague. But the committee has now saved the city and suburbs from that danger. In Decem- ber the plague was at its. worst; by February the reburial of bodies and other sanitary measures had effectively checked it, and now there is no cholera in Warsaw or outside. Paid With Paper Slips. “The German army has shown no quarter to the country, but there has been no wanton destruction except -t Kaliscz. At my place they stopped 16 days, taking all the cows and much clover, but not destroying. They paid with slips of paper, which means they never “paid. They took our best horses for the artillery, and gave a wounded horse and a slip for 100 marks. But they rsa repeating ‘Everything is paid or?’ “The Germans carry no tents, and have no food supplies with them, so that as the cavalry, artillery and infantry swarmed over our place they lived in our houses and outhouses, and drew their food from the country, chiefly cows and livestock, slaughtering the best milk cows for food, and sparing only pedigreed stock. Thus the country was denuded of all its supplies and or- dinary stock. But they did not wanton ly destroy except ova @ stated cause. concealing ‘Landau asserts that after receiving the BILL 1S. PASSED City’s Four-Year Fight for Via- duct From Vandeventer to Tiffany Ended. TS The Chouteau avenue viaduct bill, which provides for the elimination of what is perhaps the most dangerous grade crossing in St. Louis, that of the Frisco and Missouri Pacific at Chou- teau avenue, was passed at today’s special meeting of the Board of Al- dermen. The enactment of this bill, which the Mayor is expected to approve, will ena a contest between the city and the rail- roads concerned which has continued for four years, and which was carried to the United States Supreme Court. The present bill, which represents a compromise, is acceptable to the rail- roads. It provides that they shall pay the cost of the viaduct, except $10,000, to be paid by the United Railways Co. The cost to the roads will be about $260,000. The city will pay consequen- tial damages, which are estimated at $30,000 The viaduct will be 80 feet wide, al- though the original plan was for a ®- foot span. It will extend a distance of 1660 feet, from Vandeventer avenue east to Tiffany avenue. It will be so built that the Independent Packing Co. and other abutting plants can handle traffic from second-story levels direct on the viaduct. The first ordinance for abolishing the Chouteau avenue grade crossing was passed in 1911, but the railroads resist- ed it, on the ground that their tracks were in place before Chouteau avenue was extended across them. As a deci- cision could not be expected from the United States Supreme Court for an in- definite time, the city authorities de- cided on the compromise measure. INSURANCE COMPANY SUED FOR $1974.75 PREMIUMS Hide Merchant Declares Contracts Are Vold Because Agent Promised to Rebate Commissions. Alexander Landau of 568 Washington boulevard, a hide merchant, filed suit today against the New York Life In- surance Co, and its local special agent, Georwe C. Stinde, to recover $1374.75, first pfemiums paid by him June *1 last on two policies of life insurance for $12,000 each, alleging that the insurance was obtained in violation of the State law and is void. The petition avers that Landau was induced to take out the insurance by Stinde’s premising to rebate the com- missicns on the premiums. It is alleged that the statutes forbid such rebate. policies he has unsuccessfully endeav- ored to return them-.and get back the premiums paid. According to Lawrence C. Kingsland, attorney for the plaintiff, the company failed to zebate the commissions after agreeing to do so and now denies such promise was made. MOTHER AND SON HURT BY AUTO!

Polish village is not liké an English; it is a long row of peasant fermholds, bullt in a quadrangle, with clay walls and thatched roofs. ‘‘Then came the Russians, forcing the Germans back and taking anything that was left. It led to some strange scenes. A Russian Colonel came to our house for supper just as his troops had pressed back the Germans. While at supper a peasant came to make a com- plaint to the Colonel that the Russians had taken six of his cows. The Colone! was angry, and summoned, his undder officer, who had taken the cows, de- manding an explanation, “ "Yes," came the ready reply from the accused officer. ‘I took the cows. But they were German cows. Yesterday the Germans took them from this man, and they were no longer his. We have tak- en only German cows.’ ‘‘aAnd the Colonel agreed he could not interfere with the taking of cows that had become German by the passing of the German army. So the poor peas- ants had their houses ard barns burned and their stock taken by the Germans, and then if anything remained it was taken by the Russians on the ground they were taking what had been in the hands of the Germas. “Our place is now about 10 English miles from the fighting line and is a vast camp.

By Associated Press. PETROGRAD, Aug. 2.—The first sit- ting of the Duma, which opened yester- day, holds out promise of work, with the object of promoting the production of military supplies and meeting the mil- itary requirements, rather than oratory, recriminations or efforts to discover. those responsible for the failure to real- ize the ealy high hopes. The speeches of the President of the Chamber, Michael Valdimirovitch Rod- zianko, and the Ministers were well re- eceivei and rewarded with applause from both the right and the left. The Polish people, the allies, the Ambassadors and Gen. Ruasky, the commander in the Galician campaign, were cheered heart- ily. The outstanding feature of the session was the declaration made in the name of the Emperor by the Premier, M. Goremykin, thet the Poles shall receive autonomy. Announcement that amnesty had been granted Vladimir Bourtzeff, the revolu- tionist, who returned here from Paris for hospital sérvice but was immediately ar- rested,,was well received. Complete Unity Necessary. The Duma was opened by imperial ukase in the presence of a brilliant as- semblage, including the Cabinet Minis- ters and members of the diplomatic corps. M. Rodzianko, in convening the session, said the more terrible the war became the more Russia was imbued by the firm and unshakable determina- tion to bring it to a successful issue. “This,” said M. Rodzianko, ‘‘necessi- tates complete unity of all classes and the development of the productive re- sources of the empire,” M. Rodzianko asked tiie members of the Chamber to make suggestions to the Government as to how this conld be effected. Sergius Sazonoff, the Foreign Min- ister, who followed M. Rodzianko, aft- er reiterating that all the evidence showed that neither Russia nor her al- lies was responsible for the war, gave a resume of the poliiical pituation. He warned the members that it was diffi- cult to touch upon problems “which still are under negotiation.” International Relations. There had been few changes, M. Sa- zonoff said, in international relations rsince his last address to the Duma. Then, combined action by the separate Btates had not been well organizeu, but now the forces of each State were be- ing employed to the best advantage in striving for a common end. M. Sazonoff referred, amid cheering, to the partici- pation in the war of Italy. “These people,’’ he said, “long have wished to free their fellow countrymen from the foreign yoke. If the example of Italy had been followed by the other states, it would have contributed to the speedy conclusion of the war. Nevertheless, the time for supreme de- cisions has not passed, and it is to be hoped that .vantage will be taken of the time which still remains by those neutrals who cannot otherwise find a solution for their national prob- lems. “Recently there has been much talk of the stete of mind of Sweden. Our sincere desire to maintain with her the best of neighborly relations is too well known to need any confirmation from me. At the same time, we are aware of the inevitable embarrassments caused to Swedish commerce througn that country being situated in the midst of the »-"ligerents. I content my- self with placing’on record the correct- ness with which the Swedish Govern- ment maintains its neutrality, while safeguarding its national interests. “The Anglo-Swedish negotiations, which are proceeding at Stockholm. while they are confined to business matters, have given proof of the un-* doubted desire on both sides to find « basis for agreement and we sincerely hope a successful conclusion soon will be reached.’”’ Referring ic the German methods of ER ecm a NEW PUBLICATIONS. {waging warfare, M. Sazonofft said. the Germans had stopped “neither at the wholesale poisoning of our soldiers nor at the extermination of women, cthil- dren and peaceful citizens, whose cries could not fail to arouse sentiments <f just repugnance in neutral countries.’ “These feelings,’ the Foreign Min- ister continued, “spread beyond the ocean tv the United States, where nu- manitarian feelings revolted against such horrible occurrences as the sink- ing of the Lusitania, which cost s° many American lives. This attack, which has no parallel for cruelty or ab- surdity, is an ineffaceable blot on the name of Germany. “It ts difficul: to say whether more energetic measures will follow Presl- dent Wilson's note to the German Gov ernment, but it is already evident that American public opinion ig disgusted at Germany's action, in spite of the efforts which Germany is making to gaia American sympathy.”’ Speaking of the situation on the Gal. lipoli Peninsula, M. Sazonoff said: “The allies, with unshakeable tenacity see the approach of the longed-for mo- ment when a close and direct bond will be established between us. The Turks. scenting the approathing storm, have overwhelmed the Christian peoples still in their power with exceptional cruelty. The Armenians are suffering unheard- of persecuttons, which, however, have not broken their spirit, for the Armen- lan volunteers are fighting with us. “Persecutions no less terrible suffered by the local Greek populations cannot but excite the indignation of the He- lenic reople and government. The latter will have to solve the question whether it is capable of coming to the assistance of its co-roligionists in Asia Minor, without joining the Powers who are fighting for right and justice. I do not doubt that ir other countries still neu- tral the Governments will be found fully in accord with their aspirations, their vital interests and their past. Pressure Upon Rumania. “I must refer particularly to the pres- sure which Rumania has undergone at the hands of Austro-German agents. Despite their efforts, the Rumanian Gov- ernment is resisting temptation, and we continue with that country relations of friendship, the strengthening and de- velopment of objects of our reciprocal care,”’ M. Sazonoff concluded with a refer- ence to “the miracles of bravery and devotion of which Servia had given proo?. The War Minister, M. Jolivanoff, said: “At this moment the enemy is concen- trating enocmous fcrees against Russia and is successively enveloping the terri- tory and military districts of Warsaw, the strategic ecntour of which has al- ways been the weak point of our west- ern frontier. “Under the circustances, we shall per-. haps yield to the enemy a portion of this region, falling back on positions where our army will prepare for a re- sumption of the offensive. ‘““All’s well that ends well, 1812 was proof of that. We shall today perhaps give up Warsaw, as then we gave up Moscow, tory.”’ Werk of Ruasian Fieet. Rear Admiral Grigorovitch, Minister of Marine, stated that the Russian Bal- tic fleet had fulfilled successfully the task of resisting the Germans, and besides repelling attacks, had inflicted defeats upon its antagonists even on their own waters. The Russian Black Sea fleet, he said, although weaker than the Turco-German, had rendered its ad. versaries inoffensive, inflicting severe ,losses upon them. The Minister spoke of the munitions problem, and praised the patriotism of workers which had led them to end strikes, and had given great impetus to factory production, making the workers marvels of activity. Finance Minister Bark declared that in spite of enormous war expenses, Rus- sia had succeeded in finding sufficient funds, notwithstanding the loss of rev- NEW PUBLICATIONS ~ in order to insure a final vic- try had sufficient resources. This was due, the Minister insisted, entirely to the temperance of the people. and he as- serted prohibition must be maintained even after the war, because of its salu- tary effect on the nation. Not Sufficiently Prepared. M. Goremykin, the Premier, after speaking of the enormous sacrifices en- tailed by the war, said: “The Government, being firmly re- solved to make all these sacrifices, has sent for you to explain the real state of things and consult you regarding the means for vanquishing the enemy. The war has shown that we are not suffi- ciently prepared, compared’ with the enemy. To overcome him the develop- ment of our national forces is requisite. “This is not the time to set forth a program for the amelioration of the tn- tena! life of Russia in time of peace, which will be realized with your assist- ance, but I should like to touch you on one question, that of Poland, which cannot evidently be realized in full un- til after the war. “In these days the Polish people should know that their organization was definitely and irrevocably decided on by the manifesto of the Grand Duke, the Commander-in-Chief of the army, at the outbreak of the war. The Polish p@ople, chivalrous, noble and faithful, deserve unlimited sympathy and re- spect. The Emperor has charged me to declare to you that his majesty has ordered the Cabinet to elaborate bills granting Poland, after the war, the rights to organize freely its national, social and economic life on a basis of autonomy under the scepter of the Em- peror of Russia. “Together with the Poles, the other nationalities of our greater and im- mense Russia have exhibited fidelity to the mother country. Accordingly, our home policy should be permeated by the principle of impartiality and benevo- lence for all faithful Russian citizens without regard to distinction of nation- ality, creed or tongue. “Let us unite in the joint effort to which the monarch summons us! The Government is firmly convinced that sooner or later victory will be ours, and this faith is shared by the whole of Russia. Let us unite in our single pro- gram—that of victory!” BOURTLEFF ONCE VISITED ST. LOUIS Revolutonist Denounced Russian Government in Speeches and Interviews Here in 1910. Viadimir Bourtzeff, most noted of the Russian revolutionists, to whom amnes- ty has been granted, visited St. Louls in 1910 and made several speeches bitter- ly assailing the Russian Government. He also gave out interviews, strongly denouncing the Czar. He made a plea for a Russian Constitution and freedom of speech and of the press. Despite the fact that he was the lead- er of the most powerful group of revo- lutionists in Russia at that time—s group that did not hesitate to resort to the bomb in its campaign for freedom Bourtzeff was a mild-mannered man blue-eyed and a trifle near-sighted. He passed several days in St. Louis and spoke at Druid’s Hal! to a big audience, many notable St. Louisans being on the Foss TO BE.

ST.LOUIS_POST-DISPATCH: GEN. CARRANZA T0 MAKE MEXICO CITY HIS HEADQUARTERS Consul Silliman Reports That , | Baxsamans Took Possession Friday Night. DEATHS FROM STARVATION — ——— American Red Cross Reports That Dead Horses and Mules Are Being Eaten. By Associated Press. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Official con- firmation of the reoccupation of Mexico City by Carranza’s army under Gen. Gonzales reached the State Department today from American Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz. Consul Silliman’s message said Mexico City was occupied by the Gonzales forces Friday night, ‘‘on urgent orders of Gen. Carranza,’’ and added: “A severe fight occurred Friday after- noon at a point east of Guadalupe. Di- rector of the Telegraph states telegraph communication is expected by Sunday afternoon at the latest. Commanication with Tula via Pachuca, and is being sushed northward. Occupation of Za- zatecas by Obregon’s forces confirmed. “Tt is stated that Gen. Gomzales is yoing directly into Mexico City instead of lingering as before and it t expect- ed that communication will be’ restored at once. It is also expected that Car- Panza will move his entire government 10 Mexico City during August.” Eating Weeds and Dead Animals. A message to the American Red Cross grom Mexico City says there have been 4ases of death and collapse from star- vation in the capital. The Red Cross message was from Charles J. O’Connor, the soviety’s re- Hef agent at Mexico City. “Prices al- ready are prohibitive,” it said. “There is practically no corn in the city. Au- thentic cases of death and coflapse from starvation. Some people are eating - Jeaves, grass, weeds, dead horses and mules.”’ Arnold Shanklin, American Counsel- General at Mexico City, was due to ar- rive here today to confer with Secretary Lansing. He was retently recalled to Washington following reports of a dif- ficulfy he had with the Brazilian Minis- ver who is looking after American in- terests in Mexico. Shanklin was expected to throw con- siderable light on the Mexican political situation as well as the food situation at Mexico City where it was said that immediate steps would be taken by Gen. Carranza, whose forces are again in possession, to transport by rail food to the starving people. It was reported through Carranza sources that heavily guarded trains were being prepared to leave Vera Cruz with supplies to supplement food being taken into the Mexican capital by the army of occupation. The American Government it was said was determined to relieve the food famine in case Carranza’s forces were unable to do so. Report on Villa’s Moves. The State Department has unoffi- ecilal reports that Gen. Villa aban- doned Torreon, established headquar- ters at Chihuahua amd ordered Amer- icans there to leave. Nothing offi- cial has been received. Advices concerning Paul Hudson, an American editor of the Mexican Her- ald, say he was held a prisoner in the Herald Building as late as July 25, when Zapata followers were operating his presses, printing their paper, El Reno- vador. “It is presumed, however,” the de- partment’s dispatch says, “that upon the entry of Carranza forces inta Mexico City, the Brazilian Minister was able to obtain the release of Mr. Hud- son and his staff.’’ Eatent of Carranza Control. Gen. Carranza today cabled to his agency here a detailed review of the military situation in Mexico to show the extent of the territory under dom- ination of his forces. Gen. Obregon, he says, is in posses- sion of Zacatecas and Aguascalientes and is repairing the railway lines to re- open communication with Tampico. Gen. Gonzales, now having occupied Mexico City, is to repair immediately the railway to Queretaro and continue pushing’ north. Gen. Iturbide now being in complete contro] of the State of Sinaloa, Gen. Carranza says, will immediately start into Sonora, hitherto one of the Villa strongholds. Communication between Manzanillo on the Pacific side, Guadalajara, the sec- ond largest city in Mexico, and Ira- puato, has been restored. Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and the greater portion of Coahuila are now in control of Gen. Tre- vino’s troops and al! the railways, Geo. Carranza says, are in running order. Yy tan, Campeche, Tobasco, Chiapas and Vera Cruz are normal. “From this,” Gen. Carranza cabled, “you will see the Constitutionalist Gov- ernment controls the greater part of the colintry. It only expects that its course may not be interrupted so that it may accomplish a definke work of peace and reconstruction of ’ the republic," Other advices today, said Gen. Villa was retreating north, abandoning Tor- reon and establishing headquarters at Chihuahua. (REIGN OF TERROR’ IN MEXICO CITY UNDER ZAPATA ee ee » MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1915. a a | U. ©.

In his speech advocating the forma- tion of the committee, Soto y Gama promised to ask for the extradition from the United States of Archbishop Mora y Del Rio and to “hang him by the neck in a public place.’’ Soto y Gama did not deny the accusation made by the opposing delegates that he favors set- ting up guillotines to lop off the heads of the “enemies of the revolution.” In terror of imprisonment or death at the hands of this committee, hun- dreds of Mexicans either have fled the city or are in hiding. Several hundred wealthy Mexicans have been arrested by order of the com- mittee, found guilty and committed. On the first two days the committee was in session more than 900 denunciations, the majority anonymous, were received. These denunciations were acted upon without investigation. Many accused foreigners, some Americans. Former U. s. Ambassadors nuunced.” The former American Ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson, is named in 35 de- nunciations as having helped Huerta to displace Madero and to bring about Madero’s murder. The authorities pre- tend to believe that Wilson has large interests in Mexico, including mining and plantation § shares. They seek througl these denunciations to justify confiscation of his property, if it can be found. Former Ambassador David Eugene Thompson also has been denounced. He is accused, anonymously, of selling the Pan-American Railway to the Mexican Railways, witn the connivance of the former Minister 6f Finance, Limantour, at a price greatly in excess of its real value. Denunciations to the committee have been laid against Hubert L. Hall, for- merly an employee of the United States Department or: State under Secretary Bryan.

Wilfley of St. Louis, former Judge of the United States Court in China and associate of Henry Lane Wilson in Mexico, is also on the list. The committee has been given power to confiscate all goods, real or personal, of enemies of the revolution, wherever found. Persons coming under this head were members of the Cientifico party during the Diaz regime; Governors and State officials who held office under Diaz and Huerta; politicians and public employes; bankers and business men who profited by their connection with Diaz or Huerta; the Catholic party and all persons indiscriminately who had any part in the government of Diaz, De la Barre, Tuerta or Carbajal. Twenty per cent of the proceeds of such confiscations will be devoted to ‘friends of the revolution who have suf- fered through the oppressions of former administrations,””’ and the remainder will go to founding an _ agricultural bank and pensioning the families of rev- olutionaries slain in battle. Hostile te America. The daily discussion in the conven- tion prove the lack of harmony between the factions. Expressions hostile to President Wilson and the American Government are uttered at almost every session and evoke great applause from the delegates’ gallery. The food supply problem grows graver daily, not so much because of a scar- city of supplies as because of the ex- erbitant prices which dealers are per- mitted to charge. These make the pur- chase of meat, corn, beans and other staples almost prohibitive to the work- ing class., Many foreigners of limited means find it difficult to supply their tables. “De- Make your SAVINGS work for you— Buy REAL ESTATE!

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The funeral services of Charles Becker, electrocuted in Sing Sing prison Friday for insti« gating the murder of Herman Rosen- thal, was held today in the Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, the Bronx. The burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery. The church was filled and the crowd around the church and the Becker home, nearby, was so great that police reserves had to be called to handle it. Among those present at the services in the church were. policemen of all ranks. With a few exceptions, they were in civilian clothes, Carriages to take part in the funeral procession extended several blocks from the church. One carriage was filled with. floral tributes. The largest of these was a floral cross, bearing the inscription “Sacrificed to politics.” On the card attached was “from a friend.” One Inscription Removed. A wreath had the words “To the martyr, with sincere sympathy,” on it Another wreath bore the card of Alex- ander S. Williams, former police lieu- tenant, who was a close friend of Becker. , As the carriage filled with the floral offerings was about to drive through the gates of the cemetery uniformed employes stepped up and removed the ‘Sacrificed to Politics’ inscription from the floral cross. The undertaker employed by Mrs. Becker said he was under instructions not to divulge the names of the pa!! bearers. Before the body was taken to the church, friends gathered at the house to view the body. Police reserves formed thém into a line that stretched for half a mile. Name Piate Changed. Those who saw the casket noticed that it bore a new plate reading, “Charles Becker.

Becker to remove the original plate. It now is in a safe at police headquarters Action by the police followed a con- ference at headquarters, where it was decided a breach of the law had been committed by inscribing the plate and that the police had authority to remove it. This was done forthwith. The plate will be held by the police until Gov Whitman decides whether he will bring action for libel. The Catholic church authorities no- tified Mrs. Becker that the wdghts of the church would be denied if the plate were not removed. MAN ARRESTED AFTER STOLEN AUTO I$ SOLD FOR $22 Prisoner Told Buyer He Was Tired of Paying for Repairs on the Car. William Johnson, 28 years old, of Dlé Locust street, was identified at the La- clede Avenue Police Station today by Jacob Bauc of 2233 Chestnut street, as the man, who, yesterday, sold him a roadster for $22, upon the grounds that he was tired of paying for repairs upon the auto. Bauc told the police of the small price paid for the car, and it was found that the license upon the auto had been granted to G. H. Geers of 1014 Chestnut street. Geers identified the license as one stolen fram a moving van owned by him, but knew nothing of the road- ster. The police later found that the road. ster had been stolen from John C. Burns of 2851 Adams street. Burns said he had taken the license from Geers’ trucx Home Guide, ye ee 3 ~~ t.. salvia? pp Ai Lom ardes bm hay ONb @ GOW Machine GROUNDHOG HUNT NEW, PROFITABLE SUMMER SPORT ty, Ill., Where Bounty Is Paid for Scalps. 7 Hunting for groundhogs is now a mid- summer sport in Calhoun County, Il. This animal, which has a day on the calendar in winter, and is then in high repute as a weather prophet, degen- erates into one of the méanest pests the farmer, orchardist and chicken fancier has to contend with in hot weather. It sharpens its teeth on growing fruit trees, undermines garden patches and corn fields, steals chickens and sucks eggs. The Board of Commissioners of Cal- houn County has offered 2 cents for each groundhog scalp, with the condi- tion that the bounty will be paid only tc persons bringing in six scalps at cne time. Though the offer was made cnly recently more than 300 groundhogs nave been killed in the county since the- bounty has been in force. Otis Serry of Batchtown killed one that weighed 25 pounds and J. Gamball one that weighed 17 pounds. It is almost impossible to catch a groundhog in a trap. The usual method of killing them is to shoot them when they come to the entrances of their burrows to take a sun bath. The sun seares a groundhog in the winter, but he is fond of it in summer. A rifle is the best weapon with which to kill a groundahog, Calhoun County farmers say. The animal's coat is so thick that a charge from a shotgun will not penetrate. If only slightly wounded the groundhog will retreat into his hole and thus escape capture. Husband of Mrs. Blatch Killed. SHOREHAM, N. Y., Aug. 2.—Wil- liam H.

Crawford of 6044 Ber lin avenue told a Post-Dispatch reporter today of the scene in Cafferata’s res- taurant, Delmar boulevard and Hamil- ton avenue, at 10 o’clock Saturday night, in which Crawford, who is local man- ager of the Underwood Typewriter Co., was seriously injured by a waiter, who struck him on the head with a beer stein. Crawford is at the Jewish Hospital, suffering from a fracture of the skull. Alfred Aliasi of %99 Olive street, a waiter, was arrested on the charge of inflicting his injury, and was released on bond. Aliasi is an Italian. Mrs. Crawford: said her husband sum- moned her to the restaurant by tele- prone, and that she found him with John Burke Jr. of 4231 Page boulevard, a wvusiness associate She said that, while they were looking over the menu ine waiter infermed them, in a sneering manner, that he did not have all night to take their order. Burke told him to call the head waiter, and the waiter replied, Mrs. Crawford said, that no one *ould wait on them. Hits Crawford With Stein. At this, she said, Burke and Crawford got up, and the waiter, seizing a heavy stein, reached over Burke's head and struck Crawford on the forehead with it. He fell, his head bleeding, and a wom- an at another table took a napkin and bound it about his head. He was then sent to the hospital. According to the account of the mat- ter given to the police by restaurant attaches, Burke struck the waiter be- fore the waiter hit Crawford. The waiter, it is understood, will plead self efense, saying that Crawford seemed about to join Burke in attacking him. Fire Causes Alaska Bank to Close.

I do not doubt that the result will be in favor of the small State, and that it will be one of the most beneficial results to come out of the conflict.’ Lord Bryce was asked if this would not lead to some internationalizing of treaties so that it would become the duty of the great states to uphold treaty obligations toward the smal]! state. “Yes, that is what we all desire: that is what the article referred to was meant to advocate; it is one of the larger results which we may foresee with some hope of realization,” said Lord Bryce. “This war has increas- ingly shown the rv’ ed of an international code under which treaties are respected not alone by states party to them, but are part of an international code of honor which all states are bound to uphc.d. Under such a code any state disregarding a treaty obliga. dn it has sOlemniy undertaken, offends not only the other contracting party to the obli- gation, but also the entire international board of states leagued to uphold the sanctity of international compacts. “Once that principle is firmly estab- lished, as I trust and believe it will be, then it follows that some means will be found by which the international code will be made effective through the uni- versal moral influence, and if need be the universal force of the civilized na- tions of the world.”’ WORK SCHOOL FOR PRISONERS Convicts in Sing Sing to Be Taught by Labor Federation Men. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—With the approval of Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, representatives of labor or- ganizations have volunteered to send instructors to Sing Sing prison to teach the prisoners modern methods of manufacturing. Skilled workmen of the United Jarment Workers and International Boot and Shoemakers’ Union will give the first lessons. Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, July 22.—The student hab- its Viscount Bryce, in viewing the his- toric values of events, permit him to detach himself from the war's day-to- day turmoil and cdénsider some of the larger results that may come out of the struggle. The interest taken in America in his report on “‘Alleged Atrocities Committed by the Germans in Belgium” was a source of much satisfaction to him. “The committee over which I presid- ed reached conclusions very slowly and reluctantly,’ he said. “I personally have many friends in Germany and I could hardly believe that such things could be true or that they knew such things were happening. But beginning with an open mind, and even in doubt, the truth of the charges was finally forced upon all the committee by the ac- cumulation of evidence. As it is, I can- not believe the German people know what is going on. They receive only the military version and the people are not aware of the real conditions. The military party, with its’ Von Bernhardi spirit, is still completely dominant.” Preservation of Small States. Reference was made in the course of the talk to Lord Bryce’s pamphlet on ‘‘Neutral Nations and the War,”’ and to some interpretations drawn from it on some of the larger results of the war. Although these interpretations were not intended at the time for publication, Lord Bryce later approved their use as expressing his views, as follows: “It is too soon to say what the war will bring in good or evil, but we can at least hope, and perhaps see dimly, some of the things to be gained. One of the most desirable, I should say, will be the territorial integrity of small States—Belgium, Servia, Switzerland, Holland. If this war means anything It means that a group of great States are banded together in protecting the small States against absorption and annihila- tion. “The small State has been useful in its way to the world’s progress as the great State, and of incalculable value as a pacific barrier between antagon- istic races. And yet the small State cannot exist under the rule of force and the survial of the strongest, as it has not the resources for vast mili- tary establishments; its very exist- ence depends on the good faith of the great and powerful States in dealing with it.

Radicals in San Francisco Con- vention Favor Taking Stron. Stand Against Them. Bv Asrortated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—Hope, ex- pressed by part of the delegates, that the National German-American Alliance which convened here today would make no formal declaration of its attitude to- ward the controversy in which the United States and Germany is now en- gaged, has diminished, it was said, to- day, as a result of the vigorous attack made on the American Government in an naareaf yesterday by the organi- zation’s president, Dr. C. J. Hexamer of Philadelphia. Delegates in favor of a strong stand by the convention, asserted that Dr. Hexamer’s denunciation of the United States for permitting the shipment of war supplies to England paved the way for resolutions covering the same ground. Members of the opposition, however, declared they would make every effort to prevent such resolutions oeing acted upon. | “TI must say I have not been proud of my country lately,”’ said Dr. Hexam- er yesterday. “A nation that prays for peace on Sundays 2nd supplies England with arms and ammunition all the rest of the week is, to say the least, hypo- critical. “TI must confess that I, as a native- * born American, am nauseated by the lick-spittle policy of our country.

From the way most war reports read, we might just as well tear up the Declaration of Independence and become loyal subjects of King George.” PEACEMAKER HIT AND STABBED Joseph Tribus, 22 years old, of Fergu- son, is at the city hospital suffering from a stab wound in the right side and. a probable fracture of the skull, re- ceived at 11 o'clock last night, when he tried to act as peacemaker at a dance. held in a building at Eighth street and Lafayette avenue.

IT MEANS HARD WORK Only: a Month Left Before Workers for Fund Must Take Up School Duties. Total contributions received to date 81913 85 August is a month peculiarly trying upon the vitality of those infants to whom proper nourishment comes only through benevolent agencies. That has been the experience of those organiza. jions and individuals engaged in ad- ministering relief through the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free ice Fund, and already there is evidence that this year is unlikely to prove an exception Secretary Mortland of the St. louis Pure Milk Commission told a Post-Dis- patch reporter today that the entire machinery of his organization, which includés stations in various parts of the city, is being employed to the utmost io respond to the calls for relief. Not a few of these calls reach the Pure Miit: Commilgsion through the Post-Dispatca, from mniothers of babes threatened wita serious illness, and perhaps death, by the sultry weather. “Weare affording rellef to many in- fants having aggravated = ailments,’ Secretary Mortland stated, “and the number seems to be constantly on tae increase. There is to be no scarcity of pure milk, however; we have anticipat- ed thé heavier demand and provided ac- cordingly.” Fund Was $1913 Sunday. The full measure of fund building hoped for last week was not realized The mark set -<s $2000, while the amount which the Post-Dispatch was privileged to acknowledge Sunday ‘wae $1913.85. That does not reflect lessened interest and activity among the girls and boys of St. Louis, however. These clements in the campaign were never more in evidence than at this time. The current month is crowded with benefit end-1vors of various types, large and amall, and in every instance the children are working with enthusiasm to make the returns as large as possi- ble. That they are having the cordial co-operation of parents and _ other grown people is manifest, several af- fairs in which children are to be tue chief figures being managed in the larger dotails by mcthers, with the fa- thers forming a supporting column in reserve. There is ~Iways a better chance for real progress when a definite mark is set for attainment, and to this end the Post-Dispatch suggests to the Pure Milk and Free Ice League members that the week upon which they have entered marks the uplift of the Fund to $2500. That will require the raising of more than $500, but it is easily possible when gone about with determination. The sum Buggested will still be far short of that on hand at the corresponding date a year ago. As much of this differ- ence as can be bridged this month should be, for early in September the schools will op.» and not so much time for cam; aig?. will remain for the girls and boys.

The war has proved it- self to be a greater employer of labor than our export trade. ‘4. So far as finances are concerned, Germany can carry the war through for an unlimited time. We produce in our country _ practically everything needed for war. Thus exports for war purposes resolve themselves into sav- ings. These again are at the Empire's disposition as payments on the war loans and deposits are flowing into the banks and savings institutions more plentifully than in times of ‘peace. The total of deposits today after over $3,- 000,000,000 have been paid on war )joans, is higher than at the outbreak of the war. The ;old reserve of the Reichs- bank has almost doubled since the war began. Notes and deposits in the Reichsbank covered by gold are 33% per cent, ss compared with 26.7 per cent in the Bank of France and 21.7 in the Bank of England. Confidence of the People. “5. The confidence of the German peo- ple in our financial strength is as un- bounded as their confidence in our mili- tary superiority. After 12 months of war, imperial 3s are quoted at 70, which is eight points below the quotation in March. 1914; the minimum price of Brit- ish consols, 65, is 11 per cent below the quotation in March, 1914; 3 per cent French rentes at 69 are 19 per cent below March, 1914. “Work, skill, discipline, organization, economy and last, but not least, the categorical imperative of patriotism have upheld Germany in the first year against world enemies and will help us further to win the war. “HELFFERICH.” GERMANY’ R IDEA IN WAR IS TO DOMINATE WORLD, SAYS GABRIEL HANOTAUX Former French Cabirfet Member Declares the Enemy Had Been Preparing Since 1897 and Chose Hour for Conflict. PARIS, Aug. 2.—Under the caption “After One Year’’ Gabriel Hanotaux, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the Figaro, reviews the causes of the war and the “h’storical stages leading Germany logically to this step and to east the die for the gigantic conflict in an attempt to impose domination of the world.”’ “Germany prepared for this war,’ says Hanotaux, “as an enterprise of universal domination. Once ready, she chose her hour and dragged along her accomplice, Austria-Hungary and her other accom- plice, Turkey. Determined to stop at nothing, the day when it became neces- sary to sacrifice the world’s peace and joy to her material prosperity and her pride, Germany willed war.” This is proved by historic docu- ments, Hanotaux says, and he reviews the growth of the German “Weltpolitik’’ idea born at a meeting aboard the im- perial yacht Hohenzollern in 1897, re- counted in Chancellor von Buelow’s book and from which came the motto “Our future is on the seas,”’ through 15 years of military and naval preparation to 1912 when ‘“‘the work of preparation was accomplished and Germany was ready to profit f-om the first favorable circumstance.”’ Germany’s “Fell Purpose.” To these historic evidences of Ger- many’s intentions, Hanotaux offers what he terms further material and moral proofs of Germany's ‘fell pur- pose.”’ “From the material viewpoint,’’ he says, “the far-sighted and formidable preparations of the twin empires with a view to war cannot be denied. Witna the most savage resolution, in absolute secrecy, witr. fists clenched and lics closed, two empires, armed to _ the death, constructed monstrous cannon, filled arsenals with arms and ammuni- tion and conceived the prodigious mechanism for adapting the arts of peace to the art of war. The whole country was regulated like a barracks. Every slizhtest resource was catalogued that nothing might be lost and all with the purpose of offensive action. There were inventuriec in advance the means of defense exploitable and the riches of the countries coveted. Universal es- pionage prepared the way for world conquest.”’ Predestined People. As moral proofs of Germany's pur- pose. Hanotaux cites the growth of th ful conquest is its own full justifica- tion, and that ‘“‘the German people were the chusen people, the predestined peo- ple in the religious, philosophic and scientific sense of the word, that every- thing in the world untouched by Ger- man influence must remain retrograde and inferior.’”’ * * * Hanotaux adds: “The Germans are fighting for the enslavement, not the liberation, of the world. We are things not in their con- clusion as in their origin these prodie- ious events would be unmeaning, but never since the birth of the world have there been events more significant. We have gone about our task and know what that task is. “France, especially, is in her tradi- tional role, nor will she let herself we conviction in Germany that a SUCCESS - | turned aside. She struggles for ideals which are hers; justice is greater than force, right protects the weak; every man and every people have a right to dispose of his own: These mottoes : o-~--ite to those of Germany. France Kept Silence. “I have lately re-read the yellow book and have been struck by the fact that not once during the course of the ne- gotiations preceding the war did France put forward the slightest claim or offer any bargain whatsoever. Noi once did she say, ‘What guarantees will you give; what will be my share’”’ Other Powers talked: France kept si- lence. It can be said that events passed without her participation. She only bore their burdens. * * * The light has shown on two opposing systems. History has chosen—that is the first re- sult of the year’s war. “German theories, German doctrines, and German. morality are irreparably lost. They appear now for what thev are and themselves have demonstrated what they are: Frightful materialisti- ~esies. First of all, we have saved the truth. “Now, e turn of ‘stice and f right. . Already Germany, b: the failure of her ce™mpaign of conquest, overwhelmed by the immense losses which are draining her, conscious of the utter ruin which grips her, seeks to escape the consequences of her own theories an would be content with the white peace of a stalemate—counting herself well off to be able to preserve hers«'f ‘or the future. But not even this negative result will she obtain. “The two theories of life are radi cally opposed. One or the othrr mus. succumb. Following in the wake of the German doctrine, Ge: 1an force now likewise is on the decline. One ef- fort, thouvh, it require another year, and both will be cast into the abyss. “All France United and Resolved,” Says the French Premier. PARIS, Aug. 2.—The morning papers of this city print reviews of the first year of the war, with statements from prominent men. The Petit Parisien quotes Rene Viviani, the French Pre- mier, as follows: ‘“‘One year has rolled away since the day when Germany and Austria loosed war on a nation devoted to peace. Never have the virtues of our race appeared nobler and more solid. All France is united and resolved. is exalted to heights yet unattained in history. Though the test be prolonged, our souls remain unshaken. The Petit Parisien quotes Alexandre | Ribot, Minister of Finance, as saying: “The country more than ever has faith in victory, and is resolved to do its full duty, to accept every suffering and every sacrifice to defend its existence and assure the triumph of liberty. From Thecphile del Casse, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the paper received this statement: *“‘For the allies, to will is to do. They will. GOING AWAY THIS SUMMER? Make your vacation complete.

The note was delivered to Ambassador Penfield in Vienna on June 2. A missing sheet from the official message transmitted to the State Debartment caused delay in publice tion. Previous dispatches concerning the note which have appeared in the Amer- ican press were censored by the British Government, the Austrian officials here charge. Following is declared to be the Only uncensored text given to the peo- ple of the United States: “The far-resching effects resulting from the fact that a very extensive trade in war supplies has been going on for some time between the United States and Great Britain and her allies, while Austria-Hungary and Germany have been entirely shut off from the American market, have from the first attracted the most earnest attention of the Imperial end Royal Government, “If the undérsigned permits himself to taxe part in the discussion of a ques- tion which hitherto has been brought to the attention of the Washington Cabi- net by the Imperial Government only, he merely tollows the dictates of un- avoidable duty in protecting the inter- ests intrusted to him from _ further grave injury growing out of the sit- uation affecting Germany and Austria- Hungary equally. Neutral Intentions Defeated. “The Imperial and Royal Goverrament is convince’ that the attitude of the United States Government in this mat- ter’ originaces from no other intention than the maintenance of the strictest neutrality and the observance to the iétter of all the stipulations of the in- ternational agreements involved, but the question arises as to whether the con- ditions as thcy have developed in the course of the war, cert#inly quite in- dependently of the will of the United States Government, are not such that the very intention of the Washington Cabinet is defeated, indeed, that ex- actly the opposite effect is produced. “If this question be answered in the affirmative—and according to the opin- ion of the imperial and royal Govern- ment this cannot be doubted—then an- other question automatically follows, namely, whether it is not possible, in- deed advisable, to take measures to pro- vide full effectiveness to the wish of the Government of the United States to assume. an attitude of strict fairness to- ward both belligerent parties. The im- perial and royal Government does not hesitate to answer this question, also in the affirmative, without qualification. Violation of Hague Conventions, “It certainly has not escaped the at- tention of the American Government, which has co-operated in the work of The Hague in such a prominent man- ner, that the spirit and the letter of the fragmentary stipulations of the treaties in question .are -not entirely co-extensive. “If one takes into Secichdaulion the genesis of Article 7 of the V and XIII convention, respectively, upon which the Government of the United States appar- ently rests the present case, and the working of which, as will nogbe denied, offers a final basis for the toleration of the trade in war materials as car- ried on at presént by the United States, it is not necessary to point out—in order to realize the true spirit and range of this stipulation, which, incidentally, seems to have been modified already by prohibiting the delivery of warships and certain supplies for warships of bellig- erent countries—that the various righta as conceded to neutral countries in the spirit of the preamble of the last-named convention, are limited by the require- ments of neutrality in corgespondence with the accepted principles of interna tional law. Growth of War Exports. “According to all the authorities on international law who have especially dealt with the questions which here arise, the neutral Government is not permitted to allow unhindered trade in contraband of wir, if this trade as- sumes such character and proportions that the country’s neutrality is thereby impaired. “In judging the admissability of the trade in contraband of war,-one can use as a basis any one of the various criteria established by law. and arrive. according to each, at the conclusion that the export of war materials from the United States as it is carried on in the present war, cannot be made to accord with the requirements of neu- trality. It is not a question as to wheth- er the branch of American industry oc- cupied with the production of war ma- terial shall be protected in order that its export as it has been carried on in peace times may suffer no impairment. “Furthermore, this industry has ex- perienced an unexpected increase be- cause of the war. In order to manu- facture the immense amount of weapons, munitions and other war ma- terial of all kinds which Great Britain and her allies have ordered in the United States of America in the course of the last month, it required not only the full utilization and adaptation of existing plants, but the creation of new factories as well as the diversion of large numbers of workmen from all branches of trade—in short, a wide- spread change in the economic life of the pr mares © Decree E Embargo. The ewy it ‘the American Government can from no quarter be disputed to de- cree an embargo on this obviously enor- mous export of war material which is notoriously for the exclusive benefit of one of the belligerent parties. “The United States Government could meet» with no reproof if i. were to avall itself of iis competercy. even if it took recourse to the passage of a lawl in accordance with its Constitution. Even if it proved correct in principle that @ neutral State may not change | the laws in force wiithiu its jurisdic- tion concerning its attitude toward bel- ligerents during the war, there is, how- ever, an exception to she principle, as is clearly sunown in the preamble of the Thirteenth Hague Convention. “Where experience nas shown t!:e necessity for stch change for the protection of the rights of that Power. “This case arises for the United States Government py the mere fact that Austria-Hungary, as well as Ger- many, are cut off from any commercial intercourse with the United States without the existence in all colors.

ALLFES GERMANS KILLED WOUNDED Order Was Given to Take No More Prisoners, Says Find- ing of Commisssion. Bv Associated Press. PARIS, Aug. 2.—The commission pre- sided over by Georges Payelle, president of the French Court of Accounts, has presented to Premier Viviani the final reports of its investigations into acts on the part of German soaldiers. This report contains 12,000 words, and gives in detail the evidence gathered concerning the use by German troops of military and civilian prisoners as shields against the fire of French troops: as well as of the employment by the troops of Emperor William’ of car- tridges in which the bullets were re- versed in order to cause more serious wounds; split bullets and other bullets to make them more rending. Alleges Massacre Was Ordered. Continuing, the report cites orders given by Gen. Stenger, commander of the Fifty-Eighth German brigade, di- recting his soldiers to kill the wounded enemy and to take no more prisoners. Evidence confirming the issuing and the circulation of this order wag obtained from German prisoners belonging to the 111th and 142d Regiments. The report contains also evidence of massacre of French soldiers as a result of this order, as well as the massacre of wounded men after the battle of Fethe in Bel- gium. It represents the allegations of many individual soldiers who de- clare they saw their wounded com- rades put to death by a rifle shot, a revolver: shot, the thrust of a bayo- net, or a blow from the butt of a musket by German soldiers, subal- tern officers and officers. The report devotes considerable space to allegations of the inhumanity of the Germans to their prisoners of war. That many prisoners of war have been shot, while the skulls of others were crushed by blows from the butt of a musket and that at St. Die 30 French prisoners were assassinated in this manner by Bavarian troops, was vouched for by five men who witnessed the executions. Hands Tied and Men Shot. Other men who appeared before the. commission declared they had found the bodies of a French patrol numbering seven men, an infantry corporal and six privates, with their hands tied behind their backs and dead from rifle shots. This incident was further supported by evidence taken before a Justice of the Peace. The report concludes with three col- umns of evidence to prove the bom- barding of ambulances by the Germans; the firing upon stretcher bearers and the taking prisoner of surgeons. In some eases, it is set forth, French surgeons were arrested py German surgeons and by them-sentulenthe to be FOSTTON: Several cases: M1 i man wounded, "authored. are alleged to have taken Gcamehetee ity to kill those going to thelr relief. MRS, ISADORE RITTER TAKES ACID Wife of Assistant Secretary to Police Chief Tries to End Life. Mrs. Isadore Ritter, 20 years old, wife of an assistant secretary to Chief of Police Young, attempted last night to kill herself by swallowing carbolic acid at the home of her parents, 3635 North Newstead avenue. Since her marriage she and her husband have lived apart by agreement until he could cemplete his course in a law school. They quarreled while he was visiting her yesterday and as he was leaving the house she called to him that she had taken poison. She was taken to the city hospital. She told physicians ther: today that she did not attempt to kill herself because of her quarrel with her husband, but refused to give any reason for her.act. Physicians say she will recover. She divorced her first husband, Thomas Murphy, five days before her marriage to Ritter in May, 1914. TWO ON MOTOR CYCLE INJURED Machine Is Run Down by Auto on Delmar Boulevard.

The Japanese Government in May last almost entirely cut off South Chi- na’s foreign trade by ordering the Osaka Shosenkaisha and all other Japanese subsidized steamship lines to cancel all freight engagements from Hungkong for June and July sailings and to offer all space for such sailings solely to Japa- riese ports. This order cre.ted a serious situation and was cabled by United States Consul-General G. E. Anderson to the State Department at Washing- ton. More than 2000 tons of Chinese rice was stopped from coming to Amer- ica. The trade between China and the Philippines was crippled by the. order which. according to the Tokio Govern- ment, was due to a scarcity in Japa- nese shipping. At last accounts, in April, the short- age of British and German cargo boats at Kobe, Japan, amounted to 40,000 tons a month. Every Japanese boat was packed with goods. Millions in Subsidies. That the Japanese expect to hold some of the trade advantage the war has given them is indicated by the fact that more than 200,000 tons of new ships are now building or wider con- tract in their own yards. Japanese Gov- ernment subsidies to native shipping heve grown from $285,918 in 190 to $/76,880 in 1915, and they will amount to $1,245,000 in 1916, according to data furnished the American Government by United States Consul-General G. H. Sid- more, Yokohama. Great activity, he says, is shown at all Japanese shipyards, even the small- est keeping their employes at work day and night. Forty-three ocean ‘cargo steamships are on the stocks, Most of the ships now in service between Ja- pan and Europe take the Pangma Ca- nal on the way back, picking up freight at New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other American ports. The Japanese Government proposes to give over $9,600,000 in subsidies to rative shipping in the four years, 1916-1920, to stimulate the merchant marine to the utmost growth. vf this amount $5,400, - 000 fs allotted to Japanese linc: in North American traffic.

At Amoy, further south on the Strait of Formosa, the native Chinese flour is competifig successfully with American flour.

Through. out the Orient American kerosene selis at 16 to 14 cents a gallon, wholsesale.

Shanghai handles over 42 per cent of the total foreign trade of China, so that the total decrese: of China’s foreign trade in 1914 was more than $100,000,000. According to United States Consul- General Thomas Sammons, the war has had little effect on money or general finance in China. This peculiar situa- tion, he says, is due to severa) circum- ptances. China is an agricultural na- tion. The people are used to a iow standard of living, and are economicai. In recent years they fiad been buying too much abroad, and the trade balance grew larger against them, year by year. The country does not grow any article especially for export, and can always consume what it does not sell. Thus, when the war stopped China's exports of cotton seeds, the Chinese extracted the .oil themselves and used it as a substitute for foreign keroseny. So, in one Way and another, China has saved money on account of the war, and it now ia better off financially than be- fore, says Sammons. No American Coastwise Shipping. ‘The lack of American coastwise shipping in the Orient,’ says Vice Con- sul A. W. Gilbert of Nanking, “is a drawback to the establishment of Amer- ican firms since many firms draw aA jarge part of their support from the shipping that they represent.”’ He does net think the war is likely to increase American trade very much ir China, because the Chinese do noz buy until they can sell. The Germans control the analine dye trade, and most- ly all gouds worn in China are dyed. White is their color of mourning and is avoided. At Swatow, at the mouth of the Han River, northeast of Hongkcng, Amerti- can cotton go00ds were practically un- represented in the 1914 importations, : MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1915. says Consul M. 8S. Myers. The Jap- enese yarns are ranked as better and cleaner. Native fiour, being cheaper, is crowding out American flour.’ Jap- anesé kerosene made its first appear- ance at Swatow in 1914, but imports of American oil gréw from 8,176,000 gallons to 4,600,000 gallona. China is developing industrially. Re- forestation is carried on the richer provinces. Electric power is utilized in every important community. The wear- ing of queues has almost entirely ceased. Opium production is suyp- pressed, both in India and China. Over 9,000,000 tons of coal were mined last year. Colleges on modern lines were being established in the larger places. Cotton mills and iron works exist by the hundreds. Don’t hire men on the chance that they will make good.

BERLIN, Aug. 2.—A writer in the —— troops along require 67 trains, while the artillery, commissary and other be- longings call for 41 trains—a. total of about 110 trains. The feeding of a corps appears to be a big problem when the matter is worked out upon the basis of the daily consumption of each man and each horse. The daily average ration of a soldier in the Germay army weigh about 3.6 pounds, while a horse gets his 13 pounds of oats, and the large draft horses considerably more. These figures work out at 97,000 pounds of food for the men and about 185,000 pounds for the horses, as a minimum. There is thus nearly 300,- 000. pounds of provisions to be moved forward every day, not to mention am- munition. Under the most favorable conditions, therefore, it calls for a train of 10 wagons to bring up the food for about | PASSENGER SHIPS ON LAKES 10 HAVE EQUILIBRIUM TEST Work of Federal Inspectors for the Last 15 Years to Be Investigated. By Associated Press. CHICAGO, ‘Aug. 2-—Secretary of Commerce Redfield said today that an equilibrium test of all passenger-carry- ing steamers on the Great Lakes would be made and that the work of steam- boat inspectors during the last 15 years would be investigated. John A. Cotter of New Orleans; John K. Bulger, Ean Francisco; H. M. Seeley, New York; Eugene O’Donnell, Boston, all steamboat inspectors, and a fifth in- spector to be named later, will be brought here to assist in the work, the Secretary said. The investigation of the record of the inspection service will be made by a board on which the traveling public will be represented. It will follow lines sug- gested by Lieutenant-Governor Barratt O'Hara, with whose views Redfield said he was in accord. Sixth Session of Inquiry. The sixth session of the Department of Commerce inquiry into the Eastland disaster was held today. When the Federal grand jury which is investigating the capsizing of the steamship convened this morning, it was reported that Secretary Redfield would go before the body some time to- day to tell of the work of tie Federal steamboat inspection service. The finding of three more bodies in the hull of the Eastland yesterday led to a renewal of the search today. Sev- eral divers were sent into the boat where it was reported that a number of bodies were seen, but could not be re- covered. They were entangled in wire netting, the divers reported.

PANIC: ABOARD EXCURSION BOAT CAUSED BY FALSE FIRE ALARM Women and Children on the Grand Reputlic, Sister Ship of the General Slo. 1m, Injured. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The steamer Grand Republic from Rockaway for New York put in at Coney Island last night, where several hundred Passengers left the vessel after a panic aon board caused by a false alar mof fire. Many women and chil- dren were knocked down and slight- ly injured in a mad rush for life pre- servers and the boats. ’ The Grand Republic is the sister ship of the General Slocum, which burned with a loss lives several years ago. of nearly 1000 | army corps, he says, consists of 41,000 men, 14,000 horses and 2400 vehicles, in- cluding the cannon. Such a body of men and their belongings make a pro- cession about 30 miles long on a single road. Even when in pretty close touch with the enemy the length of a corps. is about 15 miles; and when the front detachments become involved in a hat- tle it will be five or six hours before the men in the rear go into action to assist them. Before this. war began it was generally assumed that a single corps would occupy about two @nd one- half to three miles of the fighting line; but in actual experience it has been found that th. average front of a corps is three and one-half to five miles. An army of 10 corps is not very large, as armies go in‘this war; but even such an army would fight on a front of some’ 87 miles, and the man who undertook to walk from one wing to the other would require 12 to 14 hours in do- ing it. The shipment of an army corps by rail is no small undertaking. =e -—_— By | SIE) SUIPWOFINJIT ‘SSC LS GL LOCUST — ESTE TTS CTD TE EU ALAARRAAALAAAIAAALAARALAL LILI IIL Le ree v 2 = Ss SLO) GUTERUOSIz/IT PEPERL REA ECATERRGEREGAUTEIAELEEUSELASAAEEELEEALIETY Saaaetieieeettieediedie: one _* HUALUAESTAERELSPEAAAHHALALATA ELTA ae!

Following my promise in my letter of yesterday in regard to the solution of the problem of unem- ployment, I wish to make a few general observa- tions which are very relevant and pertinent be- fore going into details of the plan. _. First, I wish to say that the wealth produced der the system I suggest and which hereafter convenience I shall designate the ‘People’s em,” will not come into competition with any t — now on the market, nor with the future out- » ee oO f existing concerns of the existing system. The effect upon the present system will in fact ‘be to tone it up and steady it so that it will be hhpreafter forever free from the spasms and panics which heretofore have characterized it? and which will continue in some degree to characterize it until some such system as I propose is put into @peration. That is to say, 1: is of. the very na- t- “ture of the existing industrial system that it can- * not at all times employ all the living workers; but if provision is made in an in@épendent system to provide for all those who are not accommodated in the present system, then this present system will grow greater or less, as the case may be in a regular, steady, rhythmic rate, free from the sud- _ den speculative enlargements and panic collapses '. of its past. . Second. The labor done in the new system will rot come into competition in the slightest degree with the labor which is now, or which may here- after be, employed in the present system. The re- - sult will be, however, so soon as the people's sys- tem is in full operation to absorb all of the work- ' ers not employed in the present system, and if at any time any now employed are not able to be employed in the old system, they also will be em- ployed in the new. SHERIDAN WEBSTER. The Pro-German Press. 53 € ' To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. 4 I as a loyal American thank the Post-Dispatch for its merited rebuke to the disloyal pro-German * press, notably the Westliche Post. Probably three- 3. fourths of the rabid pro-Germans\are by birth Americans and reared in the atmosphere of Ger- many. Self-segregated, they live socially apart from their fellow countrymen, and in the present crisis they are in sympathy loyal to the Kaiser, whose ancestors hanged and imprisoned those -* engaged in the abortive struggle for freedom in € ' will say that the - 1848, except such as fled to Missouri and Illinois for saféty, and whose descendants are nov taught to be disloyal to the country which gave them sheiter. _As you say, they willfully mislead Ger- many. in regard to the sentiment of this country, which practically is unanimous in support of the President excepting those of German extraction. AMERICAN. ¢ | ble Assertions. Te the!Editor the Post-Dispatch. In reference to your article, “Copperheads,” I German-American press has printed to their best of conscience only the truth and no les like the greater part of the British- American press has done.’ I can prove that ‘since the war began the pro-British papers have print- ed more lies and falsehoods than all papers in a century. That may be their privilege. Time will show that the sinking of the Lusi- tania was a plot instigated by England to draw our Government into war with Germany. En- gland could have very well protected that steamer she has hundreds of armed boats around the roa ‘The captain reduced the speed on account of shortness of coal, so he says. Such excuses are too flimsy to be of any weight. Furthermore, you accuse the German press of treachery. This could ‘very well applied to the pro-British press, which, the way, is more British than the British, who tried their best to induce our President and his os to declare war against Germany. Such a | ought to be regarded as a menace to this country. In eotfelusion, I bring to your mind that this war is to be decided on battlefields and not in the press.

AMERICAN FREE SPEECH. Henry A. Kersting, president of the local Ger- man-American Alliance, in his speech at the “neutrality” peace meeting, declared a new issue overshadowing all others had arisen in this coun- try; this issue is “the denial of free speech.” Who is denying free speech? Certainly there is no check of either law or reason on Mr. Ker- sting’s loose-hinged tongue. Not even his silly attack on the Post-Dispatch for giving free public expression to the follies of himself and his asso- ciates will bring upon him any punishment ex- cept the contempt of the judicious and the scorn of loyal Americans. Not one of the hyphenated editors who assailed the character and impugned the motives of the President, when he spoke for the nation in a vital issue with a foreign nation, has had to flee as Maximilian Harden fled from Germany when he offended the Kaiser; not one who falsely ac- cused the American Government of betraying the American people and secretly conspiring with the enemy of a friendly power has had his newspaper | suppressed or has been prosecuted for sedition or llese majesty. Even German subjects here have been permitted to defend Germany against Amer- ica and to attack the American Government without molestation. Speech is free in this country. But freedom Criticism of government or of public officials, and differences of opinion concerning policy, are recognized rights. But controversy with a foreign nation, involving American soverereignty, honor and rights, he '‘|speaks for the nation. When professed Amer- icans impugn his motives and accuse him of hy- pocrisy-and dishonesty; when they accuse the Government of being secretly hostile to the Gov- ernment with which it is dealing; when they mis- represent the sentiment of the peeple for the pur- pose of injuring the country in its foreign rela- ‘Itions, they are disloyal. They earn the condem- nation of loyal Americans. Circumstances might make it necessary to in- voke the law against them as a measure of na- tional defense. It is not the denial of free speech, but the ex- posure and condemnation of their disloyalty and folly that is hurting Kersting and all those who stand with him for a foreign nation against America. The Greek ship Leonidas Cambanis, under American registry, is to be the Muskegon. With ancient and modern Greece and the American Indian getting together in this way, the war may have yet more surprises. = ~~ wis THE CURE OF HAITI. What ex-Gov. Fort of New Jersey says must be done in Haiti has been done. The island has: been occupied by United State’ forces, its al- leged army has been disbanded and disarmed and quiet has been restored. Gov. Fort thinks that 500 men, or at most 1000, well disciplined and equipped, can maintain order there, curb the mur- derous propensities of the various rival chief- tains and give the impoverished people relief from pillage and slaughter. Five hundred men are al- ready in complete command of the situation. It requires no great stretch of the imagination to conclude that the American occ }pation of Hait! will continue until every one of its legitimate purposes shall have been achieved. We are not there for conquest. We are there for peace and order, primarily, and incidentally for instruction. Those who fear that we have exceeded our rights or that we may be tempted to invade the rights of others, have only to recall our achievemente in Cuba. The cure of Haiti make take longer, but it will be just as complete. Moralism imposes this duty upon us, and, the first steps having been taken, there seems to be no reason to doubt that Haiti will remain under our tutelage until it is able to give the world some guarantee of good behavior. == i i A little attention to the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule might have saved to the Europeans all the long time they are now giving up to prayer. PS , wr ROBBED OF OUR CALORIES. The secretary of the local Bread Trust, in his testimony Thursday, confessed that the weight of the trust loaf now, after baking, was but 10 ounces, as compared with 18 ounces in 1907, when the combine was formed. We have heard sev- eral times that the decrease was due to the raise in cost of flour. The Post-Dispatch has shown that this excuse has little weight, being based on the assumption that the trust uses only the most expensive grades of flour. BM look at it—eight whole ounces out of every 18 taken away from the poor consumer. And by the “poor” consumer, just that is meant, for a majority of the well-to-do either bake their own bread or eat at hotels and restaurants. Science tells us that a pound of bread, 16 ounces, has a fuel value for the body of 1200 calories. It seems that a calory or calorie is a heat unit of measurement. And it should make St. Louisans hot to think that in every loaf they used to get 800 calories, or units that would supply the body with warmth, which they do not get now. We will suppose a hard--vorking man eats three loaves of bread a week, which would only be 30 ounces, a skimp ratidn. That makes 156 loaves a year, which means a trust deduction of no less than 124,800 calories or units that would have kept him on an even temperature. For it is weil known that a starving man gets feverish. We need nourishment in the shape of heat units, ever in summer, lest we get too hot. But seriously, this diminution of the quantity and weight of the “staff of life” is a very great hardship on the poor. There are thousands who have no ovens and cannot afford to bake their jown bread.

[public protest? And is there not an opportunity, | in this exposure, for enterprising bakers to come of its money? TOWER GROVE VIADUCT DEDICATION. For over 45 years the grade crossing at Tower Grove was operated, a constant menace to the public. The Post-Dispatch fight for its abolition began as soon as that part of the city area be- came thickly populated, a score of years ago. Any grade crossing, of course, is dangerous, but such crossings inside city limits are death traps. It must be admitted, however, that the railroads and the traveling public have been ex- ceptionally fortunate with regard to the Tower Grove crossings. While, before any of the grade crossings were abolished, the record showed a hundred persons killed and over 200 injured in St. Louis on grade crossings in a period of five years, other crossings had a worse showing than that at Tower Grove. The Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain and Frisco Railroads are to be credited with exercising great care at this cross- in 1904, when six persons were killed. St. Louis is to be congratulated on the dedica- tion of the Tower Grove viaduct which, for all time, removes the menace to human life at this network of railroad tracks. The making of this ly caused by: the necessity of keeping the way open to pedestrian and vehicle traffic while the work was being done. This has been achieved other crossings which have much less ne obstacles to be met. In the same neighborhood, the Sarah street, the Chouteau, the Macklind avenue, and other grade crossings, have had death tolls above the at the earliest possible moment. * = = Sa Like the warning sneeze before a cold, the fall of Przasnysz foretold the fall of Warsaw. = = rer PAYING ITS WAY.

In this showing, of course, no allowance is made for interest on the money expended in the construction of the canal. But for the timely repeal of the act exempting United States coastwise trade from the payment by this time would have fallen hundreds of thou- sands of dollars short of the running expenses. To correct the blunder committed by Congress was not only policy, in view of our treaty obligations, but good business. It will eventually save the taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars. _ = = ~ a oi PLAINTIFT AND DEFENDANT GOLFERS. In our capacity of philosophical and impartial observer we sit up and take notice of the im- pending or threatened suit of the Glen Echo undesirables against the self-acknowledged de- sirables. The former, it is said, contemplate asking damages for alleged humiliation. Our horseback legal opinion is that the inflic- tion of “mental anguish” is a very damageous tort. It need not be accompanied by bodily in- jury to obtain either damages or divorce. Cruelty in either case may be purely psychological. But there must be a basis of logic for the successful setting up of a claim of mental an- guish. The infliction must be such as would reasonably tend to produce mental anguish in the ordinary man—in this case such.as would reasonably tend to mortify the ordinary or nor- mal golfer—if that is not a contradiction in terms. This question involves not only the funda- mental issue of fact, whether the average golfer is not so thick-skinned as to be incapable of shcme—but the question whether. as between golfers, the ordinary distinction of desirable or undesirable can possibly obtain. sirable really less desirable than a desirable? Isn’t a desirable as undesirable as an unde- sirable? Isn’t it the truth that the undesirables are only undesirable to the desirables, while the desirables are equally undesirable to the unde- sirables? The more we see of this Gloom Echo golfuss the surer we are that it is purely a symp- tom of the silly season. Isn’t it strange that in the very height of the silly season so many people, including lawyers, should lose their sense of humor? By the way, we would respectfully propound to the eminent golfing lawyers on either side a question incident to the problem of what is libelous per se—which we suspect they are mull- ing over—to wit: | How could it possibly injure a man in his profession or business to have his connection involuntarily severed from a golf club? = = i is THE WILY TURE. There may be ground for the numerous rumors of Turkey’s wishing to sue for peace, notwith- standing peremptory denials. The proverbial wily Turk, knowing himself a pariah to al! Europe, equally distasteful to both sides, realizes that his only hope of existence on the continent lies in his cunning. No one will give him anything willingly, and what he secures or retains will have to be accomplished by the shrewdest bargaining. What better time could be chosen than the present, when the allies are holding out their hands for Constantinople, which would mean the liberation of all the Russian food stores and the easier transportation of both troops and am- munition from east to west? That the Dardanelles will probably be pierced, thoughit will take time, the Turk knows. And once Constantinople is taken, all hopes of con- sid from the allies would vanish into thin air. / The Turk still has time to barter with.

JUST A MINUTE AUGUST. August gets its name from Augustus Caesar, the first Emperor of Rome. He was a remarkable man, and his name might have been even greater than that of his uncle, Julius Caesar, had it not been for the Germans. His uncle Julius never much monkeyed ewith the Germans. He divided Gaul into three parts, but he thought Germany looked well in one part. Augustus lacked his uncle’s ultimate discretion. He wanted Rome to share the sun alone, and eventually came around to the point where it was necessary for the purposes of Roman trade to sell the Germans macaroni. The Germans were pushing pompernickel and noodles, and when the armies met at the German boundary one of the greatest battles in history be- gan. Up to that time Rome had never been beaten, and Augustus confidently predicted that within thirty days the Kaiser would have macaroni for dinner. He lived to see his mistake. The Germans displayed sur- prising facility at war, and for three long years they made Rome howl. At the end of that time Augustus and his Generals had penetrated no further than the River Elbe. There they stuck. The Germans held one shore, and the Romans the other. Neither could cross. The war then became a musical duel in which the Romans bombarded the Germans with Italian grand opera and the Germans responded with German folk songs. Augustus did not personally lead the Romans all the time. His son-in-law, Tiberius, who was a great warrior. looked after the matter while, the Emperor attended to other pressing affairs of the empire at home. Finally, Tiberius asked Augus- tus to come up and hear the Germans sing ‘‘Deutsch- land Uber Alles.’’ Augustus did so, and after hear- ing the Germans sing that song in the moonlight he announced that they could never be conquered and called the war off. The Roman Empire thereafter extended to the Elbe, and beyond that was Germany. Augustus took the defeat very hard. He aged rapid- ly, and his dying words were, ‘‘My Uncle Julius knew best.’’ The festive calf will show us how The Russians do the Warsaw trot, And in the fragrance of the mow Our earthly cares shall be forgot. The harp tHat rang through Tara’s halls Will let the cricket charm the breeze, | The hired man in overalls Will softly snooze beneath the trees, The ever faithful little Ford Will rush the old madstone around, The agile vine will drag the gourd To death upon the burning ground, The little ‘boy will turn his back * And feel the weight of Mamma’s hand, And the bright-eyed summer girl will track The summer man across the sand. The farmer on his motor truck will tool’ his wheat away to mill, the while he marvels at his luck to sell it for a dollar bill The gentle purr of his machine will soothe and sugarize his mood, and pleasant thoughts will fill his bean despite the stilly solitude. Thero is no doubt abcut it now—the ways of Allah are benign. We beg to make an humble bow, and all our prejudice rosign. That kind beneficence which keeps the wheat of Russia bottled up is such that neither tires nor sleeps, but ever fills ‘our joyous cup. Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams We do not know the Koran well, nor have we time in which to look its logic up, but, truth to tell, we know it is a dandy book. There is this much te say for war—it leaves things better understood, and nothwithstanding we abhor the methods, the effects are good. We saw no vir- tue in the Turk until the present war began. He couldn’t think, he wouldn’t work, he had no standing as a man. He married 27 wives, who took in wash- ing for support, and never brightened once their lives with love, according to report. He only smoked his cigarettes, and sold his evil-smelling rugs, and died at length without regrets or even benefit of drugs. Alas! it seems we knew him not, nor half his worth to humankind. In dollar wheat we have forgot the things for which he was maligned. He seems to fight in just that style which best becomes a son of Mars, and if he holds the fort a while we'll all be driving. motor cars. At any rate the weather man Will try to succor the resorts, And run the earth upon the plan Of running chemical retorts.

The prospect of this country going to war in August does not amount to much. The Powers went to war in August, and the extreme difficulty they have had in getting anything settled has disposed this country to start at some other time, if start we must. It is well known that nobody has any pep in August, and that is something we shall have to have lots of if we go in. It would largely have to take the place of an army and navy, and would especially make a great difference with Col. Roosevelt and his four sons. It was on August 34 that Columbus set sail for America. The situation in Europe had become such that it was necessary to find a new world in which men could live in péeacé. Columbus knew where such a world might be found, and when he laid his plans before Queen Isabella, who was at the head of the aed Cross, she promptly sold her .ewels to pro- vide him'with money. He was at sea seventy days, but when he did find land it was quiet and peaceful, and he at once informed the people of Europe.

Sandman story of a happening hat took place in the Land of Gnomes a long, long tinte ago. A. Walker. NCE upon a time, millions of OC) years ago, the pretty deer we see now in the parks with great branching antlers bad no horns at all. They had soft, smooth heads then, but were not near so attractive as they are with the antlers espringing out of their graceful foreheads. And the way it came about was this: The gnomes of the White Mountains were happy little people, ruled over by their young Queen. Their meeting place Was a mossy circle beneath the shade of a young maple tree. Here every week thy met for their dance, which was sometimes by the light of the moon or the beams of the stars overhead. The Queen had for a riding horse « beautiful deer named Fleet. Its fur Was as soft as down, and it was as gentle as a kitten, and it semed to enjoy taking the gnomes on its back. Now, one day there came a dreadful trouble to the gnomes. They had always made their homes in the rocks in the mountain and lived happily; but a wicked Guri came prowling about and took up his hcme right near their little caves. Now, if there is anything on earth that a gnome hates, it is a Guri. And a Gur hates a gnome worse than anything else in the world. . O they came trooping down to the S mossy circle where the Queen was “Oh! petting Fleet. Queen,”’ they said—and their moaning sounded like the waves of a fountain—‘‘a dreadful Guri is in our vil- Inge, and we cannot rest.’’ “But we must keep quiet and see what he will do,”’ said the Queen. “We know what he will do,’’ sobbed al! the gnomes, in a weeping voice. “He is going to get all the trees to refuse to let us rest under them. We will have no place to sleep or dance.” The Queen began to weep, tee. “I will never refuse you shelter,"’ whis- pered the pretty maple, quivering in ali her leaves with indignation. So while the Guri got all the rest of the trees to promiaé to be mean to the little gnomes, the maple remained true. Winter came on and its branches were! brown and bare, but still the gnome Queen rode Fileet every day to the mossy circle. , One cold morning while the Queen rested for a while, Fleet sped away and returned out of bregth. “I have found a beautiful valley on the other side of the mountain,” he said. “It is covered with soft, green and invely white stones. There berries and fruits and flowers and all kinds of gentile animals. Let us go there, Oh Queen.” ‘Save the Baby Use the reliable HORLICK’S ORIGINAL Malted Milk Upbduilds every of the body effice tently.

He had forgotten that all of his wishes were granted if made aloud— for he had a witch xrandmother. So when the tree fell on the deer’s head it Stuck fast and tight. “Oh! now I shall ride away with all of you,” sang the map'e. “How beau- tiful you look, Fleet!’ exclaimed al] the gnomes. “Well,” said Fleet, “the Queen can mount on my back and the rest of you can ride on the big sled I wil! draw, ond we will soon be in our new home.”’ : oe away they wen: over the moun- ain. t OW, it happened that the Guri was | Automatic Speed Control ae ete ate ee a PEEDOMETHERS, as a: rule, only tell the motorist. when he is e@x- ceeding the speed limit; they do not prevent him from doing so. On cojamercial motor vehicles, th. speed question is often of greater importance than that of overloading, and one of the large speedometer manufacturers Pronee hit upon the happy idea of combin- ing the indicator of speed with an ar- rangement that will prevent the driver from going faster than the device has been set for. The device consists of a Yale lock, which can be set at any desired speed from sero to 6 miles an hour. When the indicated speed is reached by the speedometer hand, an electric contact is established which energizes a —_ net contained in a small bo-, through which the rod from the carburetor throttle passes, This rod is split with- in the case and one end passes freely in @ sleeve fitting tightly over the other end of the rod. Normally connection between the two is made by a pin that passes through an opening in the sleeve and free end of the rod. The closing of the electric contact when the speed limit fs reached lifts this pin out of engagement and breaks the connection between the rod and the sleeve. The throttle thereupon close- slowly of its own weight, and no amount of manipulation of hand or foot control will be communicated to the carbureter. When the car has fallen below the speed limit, however, the speedometer contect is released, the magnet per- mits the pin to fall back into its place and the throttle rod is continuous once more.

Bince hig divorce Hemming had been living downtown at one of his clubs, and sc was easily reached. “But why had she done it?’ I asked myself as I stood hesitating in the de- serted corridor. Surely her jealousy, her dislike of Miss Reese would not carry her so far as to wish me to leave my nurse to another physician, when she had injured herself in my house. It was preposterous. She must have preferred Hemming’s society, and had gladly taken the chance the acci- dent gave her. The house was dark as I made my way to my seat. When the lights came on the first person I saw was Jane sitting in a box with Lucius Hemming and a gay party, none of whom I knew. She was talking and laughing with the greatest animation, and, as I looked at her I felt a tightening of the throat as unpleasant as it was unusual. She was mine, my wife, yet she was looking at another man in a way she had not looked at me for months—yes, years. Could it be that she really cared for Lucius Hemming? No, it couldn’t be possible, I fatuously decided just as Hemining spied me, and, bowing pleas- antly, motioned me to join them, at the same time drawing Jane’s attention. | After the Play. © room was made for me after in- A troductions, Hemming remarked: ‘You will forgive us, doctor, for taking Mrs. Butterworth away, but just as we came in the lobby we met her, and seeing she was alone, persuaded her to join us.

But after the play was over and Hemming invited us to join his party for supper, I was again delighted when she told him it would be impossible. Could it be that she would prefer having supper with me? My satisfaction was short lived. So soon as we were alone she turned to me and gaid bitterly: “It is too bad'to inflict myself upon you, George! but I didn’t feel up to that crowd tonight, and I hate to be a kill-joy. Had L—Mr. Hemming been alone, I should have gladly accepted.

We had a nice little supper at the “Luckstone.”’ All the dishes Jane liked. Contrary to my custom—neither Jane nor I cared for drinking—I ordered a bottle of champagne. ‘To celebrate, ’ I told Jane when she looked surprised. But in spite of my efforts, we were very quiet. Jane was unresponsive, and I could think of nothing to talk about that would particularly interest her. Then, too, I was trying to elucidate her attitude toward Hemming. While not seriously uneasy, I was puzzled, and not a little angry. “Come, George, it's time we went home. You've mooned long enough,” Jane's voice interrupted my musings. Some way I felt that although I had tried my little effort to make Jane hap- py had failed, and it troubled me.

Women have made story telling a profession, and, from all re- ports, a lucrative one. Their special appeal is to children, though the story teller who seeks and holds adult aud’ ences is by no means unknown. In- deed, tothers who take their children to hear stéties “fold ‘not irftfequently listen with as much attention as the children, though the stories are chosen for their appeal to children. As in othe: professions, the quality which makes for success in story telling is enthusi- asm. The story teller must appear to believe her story. Miss Marie Shedlock, an English story teller known to haif the children in London, was recently asked ‘why sh« told stories to children, and she an- swered: ‘‘To give dramatic joy to them, to develop their love of mystery, to give them a delicate sense of humor, and to lead them on to good lterature.’’ Sha says that the story teller must be very careful in choosing stories for children Stories told in a convincing manner by experienced narrators fix themselves in young minds. and unless the story is imbued with a correct moral spirit it is likely to influence the child’s mind in dangerous directions. Miss Shedlock referred to the tradition that the Pueb- lo Indians neve: ordered their children to perform a duty, but by means of an appropriate fairy story created in the child's mind a desire to do what wes wanted. In reply to the argument that sin¢ée fairy stories are untrue they are in- jurious to children, Miss Shedlock re- fers to R. L. Stevenson on child play —‘Children surpass in their imagininrs all we can offer.’’ The stories provide an escape from the commonplace, and afford children an opportunity to fin: romance in their every-day lives. They also inspire them to invent new ways of playing and thus keep their minds active and bright. Of course, there ar» rare cases in which fairy tales lead children of uncommon minds to spend too much time with their thoughts, but these, children are so few that their needs do not affect the general state- ment that fairy tales may be an in- fluence for good. SOME NEW RECIPES. Botled Flank of Beef—This part of the beef many persons think almost use- less; but by being properly prepared it makes an elegant dish. Wash the flank, make a dressing as for turkey and spread over it, first having salted and peppered it well, then roll up and tie. Wind the twine around it several times tc keep it in place, then sew it in a cloth. Put a small plate in a pot and put in the meat; then pour on about six quarts of boiling water and boil gently six hours. When done remove the cloth, but not the twine until stone cold; then cut in slices and you will have alternate layers of meat and dressing.

NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT SCRAMBLE WORST IN HISTORY Only One Baseball Pennant Out of 59 Was Won by Less Than a .600 Average. PHILS LEAD WITH .560 Cardinals Can Now Almost Be Counted Out as a Pennant Contender. + By W. J. O’Connor Forty-four pennants have been award- ed in the Nationa! League since its in- ception in 1871. The American League has had a distribution of 15 flags in its comparative young life, and out of that gross total of 69 titular struggles only once in history has the championship club finished its season with a percent- age of victories less than .600. In 1908 the Tigers nosed out the Naps in that memorable struggle by a flimsy margin of one-half a game, finishing the sea- son with this record: 90—63, .588. In the National League race this year there is promise of a merry old strug- gie between a flock of equally incompe- tent clubs. None as yet has shown any- thing that remotely resembles a pen- nant punch, but the race is the tightest in the history of baildom at such an ad- vanced stage. However, even if we as- sume that a new record for a low-win- ning average should be made, it is hard to re the Cardinals even a con- tender. - For instance, if a mark even lower than Detroit’s, say .584, which repre- sents 90 victories and 64 defeats, should cop, we find the Cardinals facing the herculean task of winning 44 of their re- maining 67 games. A record of 44—13 calls for a winning pace of .772, some- thing we feel confident the Cardinals can’t attain. So we take upon ourselves the extremely distasteful task today of declaring Hug’s entry entirely out of om surrent ational League pennant unt. And it requires no wreat effort to als» scratch McGraw’s club. To accom- lish a final record of 9( victories and defeats, the Giants wuuld be obliged te annex 46 box scores out of their re- maining 64 battles, something too tedi- ous even for a New York team. On the other hand the Phils need to win only 3 while they can lose 24 and yet finish with .584, which if successful would be the lowest winning average {pn 44 years of champlonsh'p strife. Matty’s Collapse Did It. The New York club, u current attrac- tion, is out of the race, we are advised, becavs2 of the lack of cunsistent pitch- ing. This means chiefly the collapse of Chris Mathewson, the rreutest “money- pitcher’ in the world. Matty’s auys ure Gone. He's destined never to pace Mc- Graw’'s pitching fleld again because the old “super” has withered. he’s almost excess baggage from this day.

However, Burns hasn't been himself since the injury, while the ession of Fred Snod- also has had its effect. In es in the aarly season prevented M w from getting hs usual run- ning start.

ASAE POTION TEE —_ a — mm a eS ———— a me ee AMERICA’S GREATEST CIGARETTE boas HARRY LORD HAS MADE GOOD CLUB OF LOWLY BUFTS Since Taking Charge of Team Former Tailenders Have Won 17 and Lost 14. > Although his club will finish in the second division, with little chance of landing better than sixth, Harry Lord will have to be counted a success as a leader. if the Buffeds continue at the pace thev have slaved since the former White Sox star tcvok hold. Lord took hold of the Euffs on June 21 after Larry Schiatiy had proven a dismal failure. Scanafly has numer- cus stars in his lineup end before the cumpaign started was jicked to give them all a hard run for leading honors. lut the club got off bed and when Lord was installed as toss it owned a record of 2°-41—.339. Since then though the Buffalo team has won 17 games and lost 4, a percent- ege of .548. Had the team traveled at this pace all year it would now be in fourth place, instead of seventh. During this period of time the Buffs have gained 10 points. Today the club is only half a game out of sixth place. One of the first things Lord did after taking over the manageniont of the club was to obtain -‘‘Roxey’); Roach the shortstop, from the International League. .Roach has ben’ playing good ball and is one of the reasons why the Buffs are prospering. What's more, Lord owns a great staff of twirlers. In the four games against the Terriers, Jones’ club has counted only four runs. Prior to the present se- ries the Terriers had counted 20 times in eight battles against the Buffs. Ford, Anderson, Krapp, Schulz, Bedient, Mar- shall and Lafitte are the twirlers on Lord’s staff. Jones in Fed Lineup. Manager Fielder Jones of the Terriers, in an attempt to stop the losing streak of his club, inserted himself into the first game of yesterday’s double bill, playing right field. The presence of their leader in the game, though, did not help the locals one bit, and they were beat- en, 6—2, getting only five safeties off Gene Krapp. The Buffs won by pound- ing Plank for six runs in. the first three innings. After this Edgar Willett, pitch- ing his first time in St. Louis for more than a season, held Lord’s club to two safeties. The closing battle went toa I—l draw in 11 innings. he Terriers were ‘eading, 1—0, when the visitors took their half of the ninth. Dalton started with a hit. ‘Chase doubled, while Dalton counted on McDonald's fly to Tobin. The Terriers scored their only runs in the second on Kores’ double and Crandall’s single. In the eighth ther packed the pil- lows with none out, but failed to register. On the season’s record, the Buffs have it on the Terriers. Buffalo has won seven, lost four and tied one. About 4000 fans wit- nessed yesterday’s double bill. For today’s game, Jones probably will nom- inate Bob Groom to do the twirling. He hn ge opposed by Hugh Bedient or Cy Mar- shall. 50 DOUBLES MATCHES IN WESTERN TENNIS TOURNEY CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Play in the West- ern tennis championships on the On- wentsia Club’s courts at Lake. Forest was speeded up today, and it is ex- pected that an unusually large number of matches will be decided by evening. Six players are listed for singles and 50 teams are scheduled in doubles. A feature of the day’s play will be a match between Heath Byford, Illinois State champion, and William M. John- ston of San Francisco. Out-of-town players have been arriving during the last 24 hours, and many of them were on the courts today. Included in the number are J. J. Armstrong of Phila-: delphia and John W. Adams of St. Paul. Double matches were alternated with the singles in the play today. SESS ——————_——e 26 ee nme Sa aa Very superior in fitand wear. Cluett, Peabody & Co., Inc.

May Sutton (now Mrs. loose again! Bundy) is Mrs. Bundy to Recover Title. S ATURDAY Mrs. -Bundy made the three-times champion, Miss Browne, appear a novice, allowing her but three games in an entire match. She also defeated her sister, Flo Sutton, who is one’‘of the strongest players in the country. All of which indicates that Mrs. Bun- dy, since her return to the game, is in the form which, when she was Miss Sutton, enabled her to outclass all com- petition, European or American. Miss Sutton was undoubtedly induced to come out of retirement for the express purpose of bring- ing back to this country the na- tional championships taken by Miss Bjurstedt. When these players meet, something equivalent to men’s championship tennis will be witnessed. Both women are powerfully developed and play a game that compares favorably in pace with that of men experts. It will be a bat- tle of the strong, Miss Bjurstedt being noted for losing the opening set and winning out through stamina and power. Those who have seen both women play say Miss Sutton is just as powerful and enduring a player as Miss Bjurstedt, and more skillful. s - cs Incidentally, it is a pretty good bet that under the T. C. Bundy roof- tree dwells the greatest mixed dou- bles team that could be found any- where. Bundy is good enough to be paired with McLoughlin in the national dou- bles championships and makes a fair defense against the first six players in the country in the sin- gles. As to Mrs, Bundy—well, look up May Sutton’s record. Rickey Will Use College Pitcher in Foday’s Game The Adjustable Mr. Sisler or the Promising Mr. Koob Will Face Nationals.

What and Why Is an Expert? § HE Jim Corbetts of the baseball world have missed more guesses this year than ever before, not except- ing the famous upset of 1914, in which Old Man Dope suffered a compound fracture of his reputation. Judging by results, the expert in baseball is one who hopes some day to ee ‘em right, but who hasn't yet arrived. Joe Cox, the strapping young giant “hope” who appeared in this city in two bouts several weeks ago, and whose strength and gameness made a hit with local fans, is being shunted to the front by Jimmy Bronson, the Joplin referee, who took him under his wing, following Cox’s last battle here. In a letter to the Post-Dispatch, Bron- son writes: JOPLIN, Mo., Aug. 1. My Dear Wray: Playing your sugges- tion as a hunch, I’ve finally closed with Arthur Pelky.

Meeting me in the office of the club, Mantell declared his belief that he had easily beaten Burke in five of the eight rounds, and asked if I didn't think that was true. “No,” think you did.” “How many did I have?” “Just one—the fifth.” “How do you make that out? He outboxed me at there wasn't much of that, and I out- — him two to one at in-fight- ng.” When Mantell statement he was pretty close to the truth, provided the bout had been boxe or a very loose interpretation of the Queensberry rules. But, under what is generally con- ceded to be a proper interpretation of the Queensberry rules, Mantell’s against him, instead of scoring points in his favor, because he was nearly all of the time holding with hand while hitting with the other. This was London prize ring rules, one of the things the more modern ion Beck Queensberry rules were intended to correct, When called to this, he replied: “Well, coast.

Experts’ Choice for Last Place, Are Now 4 1-2Games Behind Phils Feature of Last Week’s Play Was the Climb of Pittsburg, the Downfall of the Dodgers, and the Checking of the Red Sox’s Dash Toward a Pennant. ESTERN teams moved to Eastern fields in the American League last week and the National League teams of the East began an- other Western invasion. The net result of these shifts thus far has been almost negligible, the American race tightening by nine per centage points during the seven days ending Saturday with no change in the final standing of the clubs. In the National League, Philadel- phia, in first place, gained one point and Cincinnati, in the cellar, lost five points, although this widening between top and bottom positions was narrowed by Cincinnati's double victory over Brooklyn and Philadel phia’s loss to Chicago yesterday. The only changes in the League table were the displacement of Chi- cago and New York by Pittsburg and Boston in the first division. West against East, it virtually was a drawn battle, and 14 of the 16 clubs Saturday were no nearer the_ top than they were one week ago. ‘Braves Attract Notice. Of the two clubs which did climb closer to world’s” series honors— Pittsburg and Boston—the Stallings clan claimed the chief attention of the fans. In last place early in July, another such sensational spurt as the one which took the Boston’s from the bottom to the championship last summer seemed visionary to th2 average follower of the game. And vet the Braves began exactly that sort of a climb. Fifteen games won out of 19 played was the record of the world’s champions up to Thurs- day night, when they were in third place. Then they were checked on | Friday and Saturday by Cincinnati and dropped back one position, Pitts- burg moving ahead of them by virtue of winning a double-header over Brooklyn Saturday. Dodgers Disappoint. To the Brooklyn fan work of the Superbas was a keen disappointment, after their rapid rise to second place during the pre- vious fortnight. Brooklyn won only two games out of six played, and the team’s advantage over third place was only two full games Saturday night, with the leading Phillies three full games in front of Brooklyn. The Superbas’ hold on second place was further weakened by their logs of two games yesterday, and Pittsburg now its right on the heels of Robinson’s team. Defeats in three out of four to the Pirates — Brooklyn's Western invasion disastrously. slump in batting accounts for at least half. of the Su- perbas’ recent defeats. While the Chicagos. improved their playin they did not resume the stride which earlier in the season took them to the top. wo victories and three defeats were the Cubs’ showing of the week ending Saturday and the team was forced back to fth place be- cause of the fine work of Pittsburg and Bos- ton. Chicago defeated the penee leaders vesterday, however, and is ag J a fraction of a point behind Boston. New York did nearly as poorly as Chicago. Giants slipping down into sixth position. the week's at home once more, over previous weeks, Browns and Griffmen Divide Week’s Winning Honors in American League HE week’s close in the American League found Washington and St. Louls with the best showing, each v.ith four victories and two defeats. Aided by the fndifferent game put up by the ew Yorks, Griffith's Senators made more secure their hold on a place in the first division, the Yanks drop- ping three games out of five played and falling below the .500 mark, where they Lave been hovering most of the sea- sON. Red Sox Slip Back. As for the three leaders, Boston failed to hold its own, winning cnly two out of five, and Chicago ard Detroit broke even and all three fel! off in percent- ange points. Tiiis loss they could afford, however, Detroit in third place being +O cue games ahead of Washington in fcvrt “Two. games is the 4iff:rence between the Tigers aud the leading Red Sox to- day—with the Chicago White Sox in between them—as agiinst two and a half games as che inargin one week ago. esponsibility for this tight play of the week among the three ieaders may be said to rest with the schedule- makers, wh» brought Boston in play against Chicago and then _ Boston against Detroit. Boston won two and lost two in this uncompleted triangular series and Detroit ani Boston each won one and lost one. Pittsfeds Look Good. Another week of play ending yesterday in the Federal League brought only one change in the relative positions of the teams—Pitts- burg by winning six games and losing two while S*. Louis was losing five ond winning two, took third place away from the Mis- souri club. Chicago retained its game-and- a-half lead over Kansas City in the fight for first place, but this advantage was shortened yesterday to half a game when Chicago lost to Newark while Kansas City was defe eating Baltimore. St. Louis Crews Will Not Attend National Regatta Expense and Lack of Probable .Winners Combine*to Keep Mound Cityans at Home. Unless the present plans ~-.re altered, St, Louis will not be repre- sented when the National] Association of Amateur Oarsmen holds its annual regatta in Springfield, Mass., Aug. 13 and 14. The local rowing enthu- Slasts will not send any oarsmen ,owing to the big expense involved jin sending the men and shipping the > boats. It will cost something like $50 just to charter a car to take the boats. Then there would also be the expense of the sweep swingers to pay. At ronest none of the local clubs feel they have a gg enough chance of landing laurels to take this heavy expense upon themselves. According to advices from the East, the feature event of the regatta will be the singles championship. Two of the most prominent contend- ers in this rate will be John Kelly of PhiladelpHfa and Robert Dibble of Toronta Last r Dibble beat Kelly by about haj a boat length. - Records i. to Suffer in A.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “Speculation was more today and the movement in the war shares was neither as violent nor as important as it was last week. There was g00d support ofered on reces- sions and after a period of hesitation at the opening, when prices were rather irregular, the market gained strength. Copper shares advanced and the active stocks were generally higher. But there was none of tie excited bidding wp of stocks which led to such sensational advances in a half dozen ‘war issues’ a week ago. Brading was smaller and more pro- fessional, although the outside pub- lic was still a good deal of a factor in this market. “Price changes in the early trad- ing were for the most part unimpor- tant, and those shares which ap- peared to be in good demand were taken at relatively small gains for the day. The behavior of the market indicated that the public had appar- ently taken to heart some of the warnings, published during the last 48 hours, concerning the dangers of speculating in the so-called ‘war is- sues’ at the present level of prices. Whether this was so or not, the mar- ket reflected a sort of moderation which was not in evidence a few days ago. restrained Westinghouse Is Active. “Transactions in Westinghouse, Can and Air Brake were larger, on reports of new business from abroad. All these stories, however, were more or less vis- ionary. While no details at all were forthcoming corncerning probable profits to be derived from this class of busi- ness. One reason why these facts were withheld, perhaps, was that the man- agers of the plants knew little them- selves about the margin of profit that could be expected. ‘‘News that wages had been advanced at the Bethlehem works was in line with advices from other quarters that labor was becoming more restive and that increased pay would be demanded by operatives of many plants engaged on ‘war work.’ It was realized that profits on such orders could not be ac- curately estimated until a variety of factors entering into such calculations had been taken into account. Some of the minor Steel shares were again in demand, the inquiry for these shares being based not alone on reports of war orders, but on the general prosperity of. the industry in consequence of broad- ening domestic demand. Money Market Active. ‘“‘New interest was given to the money market outlook by advices from the West to the effect that the mercantile inquiry was enlarging and that the large Chicago banks were looking for demands for increased accommodation from va- rious sources. This report confirmed what was Known before, respecting the probable increased demand from the agricultural sections of the West as soon as the crop movement was in full swing. These reports had little influence upon the market, however, as the banks made large offerings on call and on time, ex- periencing some _ difficulty in placing what money they had to lend. But the large payments of the day for dividend and other purposes led to some readjust- ment of collateral loans, and owing to the broad demand from abroad there were indications that lending institu- tions were not inclined to materially in- crease their advances to long-term bor- rowers. Exchange on Paris was weak, but otherwise the quotations for ex- change on foreign markets were for the most part unchanged from Saturday. “In the afternoon there was heavy buying of the equipment stocks and the lower priced steel issues. These dealings contributed a great deal of business in the last hour, when many of the active stocks touched the high level of the day. “The railroad stocks were also strong, with good inquiry for Union Pacific and Reading. This strength was well distributed, and in the last hour the whole list became quite active. The trading was more orderly, however, than in the markets of last week, when the craze for the indus- trial stocks was much more of a feature.”’ '$ § ET DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STRE NEW YORK. Aug. 2.—A fair degree strength developed in the early trading Fe day, but the accumulation of orders over the week end was rot large and the open- ing was the quietest of any Monday morn- ing for several weeks. Most of the favor- too on last week's advance were higher, al- ough heaviness appeared in Crucible Steel, witae fell back 1% Bethlehem Steel, Air Allie-Chalmers. Baldwin Locomo- E n Steel gained about a point wach and Coal Products 4 points. There was a tendency to reduce speculative holdings of war stocks which showed the ef- held within comparatively nargow lines and their steadiness under the circumstances in- fects of heavy realizing sales. These shares dicated such a degree of absorptive capacity of the market and to encourage speculative ventures elsewhere. Buying shifted to better established issues and the market as a whole made a good showing through the morning. The shares which under normal conditions are / the mainstay of the market were well taken with material gains among a large number of representative issues. Oil stocks coppers and fertilizers were prominent in the movement in which some of the railroads also figured. Bonds were regula The distinguis inn ‘feature of the after- noon was the improvement in sentiment sig- nified by the increasing firmness of stocks. Failure of the bear faction to make anv headway, and the sustained rise in the Cop- pers and Railroads induced more general buy- ing for both accounts. — Fruits, APPLES—Steady. all, overripe idenblush at i t in bbigs : saps 2.25 to strawberry and red $1.) to $2.60 (extra evel. more); bu. to 85c.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—This vear's coiton crop will be approximately 11.,- 970,307, equivalent 00-pound bales, compared with 16,134,930 bales last year. that estimate unofficial calculated, is based on the Government's condition report, issued today. and official fig- ures of acreage and normal yield Whether the crop will be greater or less depends upon ore nau aoe from now until picking time WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The condi- tion of the growing cotton crop of the United States on July 2% was 75.3 per cent of a normal, the United States De- nenig: et of Agriculture's Crop Report- ng Board announced at noon today in its third condition report of the season. That condition compares with 80.3 per cent on June 25 this year, 76.4 per cent on July 25 last year, 79.6 per cent in 1913 and 78.5 per cent, the average condition on July 2 for the last 10 vears. The area planted to cotton and under cultivation on June 25 this year, as pre- viously reported, was 31,535,000 acres, a decrease of 5,871,000 acres, or 15.7 per cent, from that under cultivation on June 25 last year. A condition of 100 per cent of a normal on July 2% would be equivalent to a yield of 241.3 pounds of cotton to the acre, the Bureau of Crop Estimates has announced. Weather conditions generally have been favorable to the crop throughout the month except in Texas, where there was a lack of rain. In the northern portions of the belt the weather was too cool for rapid growth during the first week of tho menth, and wet weather delayed proper cultivation, especially in Oklaaoma, Mississippi and portions of other states. The drouth in Texas was largely re- lieved and the crop. made satisfactory growth in that, a swell as in most other Boll weevil contin- ued to increase in Texas, and were re- torted from several other sections. During the second week of the month moderately warm weather. with lucal shcwers over the central and easrein portions of the belt favored a generally sitisfactory growth, although the plant War reported as still small in tome northern localities, due io cool weather and the fields grassy in others. In Texas and Oklahoma much clear weather, with warm sunshine, favored cultivation and rapid growth over the greater part of thuse states, but in southern Texas the absence of general rains for sev- eral weeks retarded growtn. Boll wee- vil continued active in many parts of Texas, as well as in Mississippi and Alabama. Texas marketed its first tale on July 9. The third week found warm nights throughout the belt with generally suf- ficient soll moisture over central and eastern districts. That greatly favored coton and good growth generally was reported. Dry weather prevailed in Texas, but the plant was standing the drouth well and it was said to be developing rapidly in Oklahoma anid Arkansas. Cultivation had proceeded eTrood generally was very clean. Boll weevil became less active in Texas during that week, but they were reported as far east as the Alabama-Georgia ‘ine and in West- ern Florida.
