The wine yield in South- ern France—the most important wine- growing section in that country—proba- bly will not exceed more than half of the average production, which is 660,426,- (00 gallons, the American Consul-General at Marseilles reports to the Department ef Commerce. The vineyards have suf- fered heavily owing tc abnormally heavy rains and to lack of cultivation due to scarcity of labor. Consequently, wine prices more than doubled in June. From Germany, on the other hand, comes a report from the Vice-Consul at Cologne, saying the Rhine wine produc- tion is expected to rival the noted wine crops of 1893 and 1911.

TO MOVE FREIGHT: TEAMSTERS QUET Transfer Companies Prepare to Hire Nonunion Drivers, but Wait to See Whether Any of the Strikers Will Return to the Barns by To- night. UNION MAN SEES CHANCE FOR PEACE Crowd Jeers When 12 Big Wagons Manned by Non- Union Men Are Sent Out to Get Mail in East St. Louis. A large crowd of striking teamsters, sympathizers and lookers-on hooted and jeered shortly after noon today when 12 big stake wagons manned by non- union drivers were driven from the St. Louis Transfer Co.’s stable, Broadway and Chouteau avenue. No effort was made to molest the wag- ons, because each carried large signs reading United States Mail.” Transfer company employes said the wagons were going to East St. Louis to collect mail and deliver it at the St. Louis Post- office. Turned Out for Moral Effect. Ordinarily three small wagons are used for the transportation of mall. The big wagons apparently.were turned out for the moral effect they might have in showing the strikers that nonunion ' drivers were available. Three deputy United States marshals accompanied the wagons. At Fourth and Spruce streets a man who said he was Harry Wilson of 1931 Sullivan ave- nue called one of the nonunion drivers a vile name. He was arrested. - Both sides were marking time today in the strike. The transfer companies made no effort to move freight and the striking. drivers were given to under- a stand that they might retain their jobs . it they would report for duty before to- ight, which they had no intention af. une the Strikers showed no signs of vieldins. they confined their activi- ties to picketing in the neighborhood of the companies’ stables at Broadway and Chouteau avenue and Tenth and Spruce streets. While the companies were preparing to hire nonunion men if necessary, they were waiting to see if any consid- erable number of the men would de- gert the strikers’ ranks by tonight. At che offices of the companies it was _ waid ro effort to move freight would be made before Monday. wn Try to Enlist Central Body. The strikers were awaiting action which is expected to be taken at tomor- row afternoon's meeting of the Central Trades and Labor Union. The strike will be discussed there and an effort will be made by the teamsters to enlist the aid of the central labor body. John J Duggan, secretary of the local teamsters’ union at 10 a. m. issued in- _gtructions to the strikers that they must not attempt to interfere with efforts of the transfer companies to feed and water their horses. 2 wa The number of men out on strike was ald by union officials to be more than 2000. Representatives of the transfer companies said only about 700 men had walked out. At roon a union official who would not permit himself tc be quoted said there was a chance that an agreement might be reached this afternoon. D. J. Tobin, international president of the teamsters’ „ is on his way to St. Louis from | arapolis to supervise the strike. D. J. Murphy, a vice president of the te Teamsters’ union, said the be discussed at tomorrow's the Central Trades and Fort concerns were with- out teamsters today, the men having walked out when ordered to haul goods om the transfer companies’ stables. _ Policemen Use Clubs on Crowd. ‘The strikers’ clans caused disturb- nees late yesterday afternoon in the eighborhood of the St. Louis Transfer from East St. Louis Postoffice.

TRAINS FLAGGED TO SAVE AUTO — Machine Caught When Gates Are Lowered Suddenly. Fred Thomas, # years old, of 6827 Bleeck avenue, a grocery salesman, was driving his automobile across the is souri Pacific Railway tracks at Ecoff avenue at 8 o’clock last night when Wiil Elcett of 3338 Cambridge avenue, the watchman, lowered the gates so rapidly that one caught the automobile and held it on the tracks. Two passenger trains from opposite di- rections had whistled for the crossing. Trainmen who saw Thomas’ plight ran and flagged the trains, while bystanders pushed the machine under the gates.

FAMOUS SUMMER HOME Property Was Formerly Resi— dence of Gen. James Semple Who Fought in Mexican War. Mrs. S. V. Ames of St. Louis motored to Jerseyville, yesterday, from her sum- mer home on the bluffs near Elsah, and appeared before the Jersey County Board of Review at the courthouse to protest the assessed valuation of her property, which she has owned all her life. The property consists of about 1900 acres of land on the bluffs, and on which was erected modern dwellings about 20 years ago, at an expense of $30,000. This property was named “Notch Cliff.“ and was the most beau- tiful place in Jersey County. It was for many years the summer home of the Ames family, and great crowds of St. Louis guests were entertained there every summer. The property was assessed by the E!- sah Township Assessor many years ago at $23,000 and the valuation never has been lowered. The house burned dur- ing the absence of the family, about five years ago, and since then the Ames- es have given up their summer home in this county. But the Assessors of Elsah Township never have changed che val- uation of the property, and each year for the last five years Mrs. Ames has paid the taxes without protest. This summer Mrs. Ames again decided to spend the summer at her old home and purchased the Fuller property ad- joining “Notch Cliff.“ which is the highest point along the bluffs and in looking over the taxes for this property she discovered the overcharge. The board disposed of her case at once and reduced her assessment from $23,000 to $3000. Mrs. Lucy V. Semple Ames is a daughter of the late Gen. James Semple, beefermer resident of this county, who Was a general in the Mexican War, Min- ister to Uruguay, United States Senator from Illinois and a Judge of the Su- preme Court of Illinois. Mrs. Ames went through the Jerseyville courthouse and saw a portrait ot her father, on which is written “Jorsey County’s Most Dis- in San Francisco beginning Oct. 10 and! tinguished Citizen.” This picture was presented to Judge Pogue by Mrs. Ames’ son, Henry S. Ames, vice presi- dent of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co: of St. Louis, to be placed in Judge Pogue's collectior of “Pioneers of Jer- sey County.“ rumbering 153, the collec- tion being composed of those who re- sided in the county in 1840 and prior to that period. MAIL TRAIN HITS AUTO TRUCK; DRIVER SERIOUSLY INJURED Machine Is Carried for More Than Block on Pilot of Iron Mountain Engine. Louis Warnbrodt, 30 years old, of 112 Florence avenue, St. Louis County, was seriously injured at 2:45 o’clock this morning when the southbound fast mail train of the Iron Mountain Railway struck an automobile truck he was driv- ing at Michigan avenue and Tessen street. Warnbrodt, according to the police, was making strenuous efforts to get the truck across the tracks ahead of the mail when the accident occurred. The truck was carried one and a half blocks on the pilot of the engine before the train was stopped. Warnbrodt was picked up unconscious, and when taken to the city hospital phy- sicilans said that he was suffering from three fractures of the skull, lacerations of the laft arm and shoulder, and abra- sions of the back and internal injuries.

STRANGERS ARE WATCHED Soldiers and Peace Officers Shoot Mexicans Who Resist Arrest or Try to Escape. By Associated Press, BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Aug. 14,—Car ranza soldiers, it was learned today, temporarily took possession of Island No. 10 in the Rio Grande for a short time, while the Mexican raiding was at its height a few days ago. This island is large, containing pasturage for con- siderable stock. American residents of the vicinity, which is near Rio Grande City, 100 miles above here, were mys- tified by the actions of the Mexican soldiers. The latter finally withdrew from the island. Peace officers and rangers have adopt- ed a summary code of handling suspect- ed Mexicans. At Fort Brown, here, the following report was turned in, made by peace officers to an army patrol cfficer on duty at a small station north of Brownsville: We met two Mexicans. They tried to escape. We could not identify them, so we left them there.“ These Mexicans were killed. Burial of Child’s Les. A permit obtained from the Browns- ville city authorities for the burial of a child’s leg revealed one small tragedy. The permit was obtained by a Mexican named Pasano. He resides about 20 miles above Brownsville, near where Pri- vate H. R. McGuire of the Twelfth Cavalry was killed a few days ago. Me- Guire was the first soldier to lose his life during the raids. Pasano said he had been arrested, that his captors of- fered to let him go, but that he refused, believing they intended to shoot him and say he had tried to escape. He ‘was taken to jail, and later was released. After Pasano had returned to his home, he said, he saw a posse com- in through his lands, and called some of his frienda a0. help him resist what: he expected to be his arrest. He said this poss¢ was not looking for Pasano. The latter’s friends, however, opened fire. McGuire was killed in this fight, and the Mexicans took to the brush. Pasano asserted that the only person injured besides McGuire was a small Mexican boy, who was shot in the leg badly that the limb had to be am putated. Pasano then brought the leg here for burial, in accordance with his own ideas of piety. Troops Make Striking Showing. Owing to the slowness of means or travel, and great distances, the full force of soldiers and rangers ordered out to quell raids, did not all reach their as- signed places until late yesterday or early today. As now disposed, they make a striking showing at railroad stations. At Harlingen, a big cotton platform is covered with brown army tents. Mexicans everywhere are visible work- ing in the flelds or mixing with the sol- diers and rangers at the st tions. Mex- icans on trains or those who seem to be going any distance by other means of travel, are closely watched. Train crews are ready to uncouple their engines at any time, and turn them over to the use of soldiers or peace officers for runs to alarms or appeals for aid. The entire lower Grande Valley sec- tion has the appearance of martial law, but it is a silent law. The population is so comparatively sparse that stran- gers are recognized and checked up im- mediately, usually without being asked any questions. Fear Attack by Carranza. Apprehension in Brownsville is not about what the Mexicans may do in raids similar to those of the last few days, but as to the truth of reports that in case of any repetition of the Amer- icans landing at Vera Cruz that an at- tempt will be made by Carranza troops in Matamoros to sack Brownsville in re- prisal So strong is this belief among some leading citizens that pressure will be brought to bear to get more troops at Fort Brown, neer here, to protect ie city. : The bodies of three Mexicans were found near Santa‘ Maria, about 20 miles northwest of Brownsville. They were reported as being those shot while try- ing to escape arrest. Matamoros, Mex., opposite Bros, as- ville, does not appear to be suffering from food shortage or exorbitant prices. For 16 cents American money the fol- lowing dinner was served in a cafe last night: Small porterhouse steak, one pork chop, potatoes, beans, coffee, bread, cake and one-half quail. A party of 80 Mexicans under a leader named Cabrera has appeared between Zapata and Rio Grande City, 90 miles be- low Laredo on the Texas side. A de- tachment of the Fourteenth Cavalry is stationed at Zapata, and, with the aid of citizens, is rpepared to resist the bandits if they reach that point.

Penn, 26, Accused of Getting $4700 Property Under False Pretenses, SOLD BONDS TO COUPLE Indictment States He Repre- sented Self to Be President of American Oil Refining Co. Frederick H. Penn, 26 years old, of 5201 Cabanne avenue, a salesman for the Standard Ofl Co. of Indiana, was ar- rested by a Deputy Sheriff yesterday at the office of the company in the Syn- dicate Trust Fiuilding under an indict- ment charging him with obtaining by false pretenses from George W. Heath and his wife, Elizabeth, of 3901 Sullivan avenue, property worth $4700. The indictment was returned May 6, 1914. Deputy Sheriffs have been looking for him ever since. He says he has been in the city all the time. Penn was re- leased on a $2000 bond signed by his mother, Mrs. W. C. Penn, who lives at the Buckingham. The indictment charges that Penn, May 8, 1911, represented to Heath and his wife that the American Oil Refining Co., an incorporated concern of which Penn was president and B. O. Davidson secretary, had issued $250,000 of 6 per cent gold bonds secured by deeds of trust held by the Chouteau Trust Co. as trustee. Heath and his wife trans- ferred a lot valued at $4700 in the Beardslee subdivision on Page avenue to Penn for 34000 of the bonds. The indictment alleges that the Amer- ican Oil Refining, Co. had not been in- corporated, that it had not issued bonds and that the Chouteau Trust Co. was not trustee. Penn says the company has a plant at Vandeventer avenue and the Wabash tracks and that a number of wealthy men are interested in it. He admits that he is not president of it. He would make no explanation except that he was 21 years old and Heath was 50 at the time of the alleged transaction. ARKANSAS JAIL UNDER MARTIAL LAW AGAINST TENNESSEE RAID Soldiers Guard 20 Prisoners Held in Connection Wit Killing of Sheriff by Bootleggers. OSCEOLA, Ark., Aug. 14.—A district covering 10 blocks, in the center of which is the Mississippi County jail, was today placed under martial law. Two companies of the Arkansas State Guard are on the scene to prevent anv attempt to take from the jail 20 per- sons held in connection with the killing of Sheriff Samuel D. Maulden several days ago by a gang of bootleggers on Island 37 in the Missisippi River. Martial law was made effective after midnight, when Sheriff Collins was in- formed that 1000 armed men from Tip- ton County, Tenn., were making their way to Osceola to liberate the prison- ers, claiming they were citizens of Ten- nessee. Feeling is intense here since a mob killed Sam Crum after overpowering the jail guard Thursday evening. Early Fri- day morning several strangers with guns crossed the river at Memphis in automobiles, saying they were going to Osceola. Others, it was said, would cross the river at Ashport and other points, meet in a secluded place and surround the jail to demand the pris. oners held there in connection with the Maulden murder. PRICE GUARANTY ON HOME WHEAT BY ENGLAND IS PLANNED Cabinet Measure Probable Reason for Cancellation of Orders for Grain From United States. LONDON, Aug. 14.—The Cabinet is considering important recommendations concerning the supply of food, particu- larly wheat, made by the commission appointed in June by the Earl of Sel- torne, president of the Board of Agri- culture, with Lord Milner as chairman. The nature of the report is guarded closely, but it is intimated the recom- mendations include plans to increase the home-grown supply of wheat by guaranteeing to producers a minimum price for their product. The Times urges the Government to sct promptly, pointing out that farmers are gathering the present harvest and must decide on the uses of their land in the coming season. It odds: “Owing to the magnitude of wheat im- portation from America, the action of the Cabinet on the recommendations of the commission probably will have a considerable bearing upon the overseas trade. The fact that the Government is considering the wheat question is suggested as a possible reason for the reported cancellations of orders for wheat from America by the Entente allies.” FIVE KILLED, 20 INJURED IN ACCIDENT TO IRISH MAIL Disaster Occurs at the Weedon End ef the Stowe Tunnel Near Northampton, England.

MEN FROM WOOD 5 CAMP 70 MARCH IN LABOR DAY PARADE He Plans to Take All Volunteers at Plattsburg to New York City. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CAMP OF INSTRUCTION, Plattsburg. N. T., Aug. 14.—Gen. Leonard Wood to- day adopted officially the plan for a parade of the members of this camp on Labor day in New York City. Moreover, every member of the camp has been asked to write to his friends, urging for a civilians’ parade of at least 10,000 men (not in uniform), to fol- low the khaki-clad volunteer’ soldiers down Fifth avenue and Broadway to the battery as a demonstration of pro- test egainst national unpreparedness. “It is my idea,” said Gen. Wood, to show to the people of New York the remarkable results of this method of preparing volunteers. It seems to me that it would be a good plan to have the men leave camp on the night of Sunday, Sept. 5, arriving in New York on the morning of Labor day, Monday, Sept. 6 From the Grand Central Sta- tion they could parade down Fifth ave- nue, giving to the. people of the city, a convincing demonstration of the value of the time and labor they have spent and turn in their Government equip- ment at Governor’s Island, then pro- ceeding to their homes. “In the general scheme of spending four weeks in this instruction course, the majority of business men here can see no reasonable objection to making the march through New York City. One man said today that if the purpose could be better served he would be willing to extend this demonstration to Brooklyn. A development of the suggestion is in- spired by one of the 87 rookies here from Baltimore.” Why confine this thing to New York City?” he asked. “I realize, of course, that it would be next to impossible to ask all these mer to parade through the streets. of all the big cities that are here represented, but I think that it would be feagible for the contingent from such places as Baltimore and Boston to march through the streets of their home towns, after the New York parade. We are proud of our country first and of our cities second. Certainly, we brag enough about our cities when we are away from them. So, why not, try to make the men of our home cities do something to awaken a pride that seems — . for years to have been devoted wholly financial and political matters? . | | — UNE TRANSPAGIEIC LINER ONLY FLIES AMERICAN FLAG Pacific Mail Sells Five Big Steamers to the Atlantic Transport Co.

LONDON, Thursday, Aug. 12 (delayed by censor).—There are strong indications that Servia will give a flat refusal to the demands announced by the Bulgarian Premier, Vassil Radoslavoff, three weeks ago, and that the hopes of the entente allies of bringing Bulgaria into the al- liance will come to naught, according to some diplomats here. Servia's formal reply has not yet been given, but those posted in diplomatic quarters say that Bulgaria’s demands far exceed anything that Servia could possibly yield. The outcome is being watched with the keenest interest by the chancel- lories throughout Europe, as Bulgaria is the chief obstacle to united action by the Balkan states in joining the en- tente allies and thus throwing the Bal- kan barrier between the central Pow- ers and Turkey. Bulgaria contends that by a treaty with Servia the latter ceded to Bulgaria about 7000 square kilometers of Mace- donia which Bulgaria was compelled by the great Powers to relinquish during Balkan war. Bulgaria insists that the original treaty be carried out and that unless she obtains the return of Mace donia she will refuse to join the other Balkan states in assisting the allies. The present issue has renewed the smoldering feuds among the Balkan na- tions and much bitterness is said to have developed in the course of the negotia- tions, all pointing to Servia’s refusal to vield Macedonia and to Bulgaria with- holding her support from the entente Powers. Officials of both sides say, however, that the negotiations have not been abandoned and that much depends upon the attitude of the Servian Parlia- ment, which is to meet Monday, al- {hough personally they see little pros- pect of accord. report published abroad that the Ger- man submarine U30 had been sunk off a German port by accident in consequence of a defect in operation; but subsequent- ly had been raised.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Miss Mary Alice Smith, the Chicago stenographer, who is going to be a $10,000 heiress if she sticks on the job as housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. James Pankhurst, is on their 500-acre farm near Dixon, III., to- day. She left Chicago quietly on Fri- day without letting any but her intimate friends and family know. Even the Government officials who got her the job didn’t know about it, they say. Miss Smith was picked from almost 2000 wom- en and girls. Pankhurst wrote to the local office, saying he wanted a woman to work on his farm. He said he would pay her $3 a week as long as he and his wife wera living and would will her $10,000. Miss Smith bought herself gingham aprons and sunbonnets before she de- parted. She formerly was a stenograph- er and asked for the farm job because she said she wanted ‘‘a real home with people who would love her and whom she could love.” F. N. Vaughan, Mayor of Amboy, who is president of the First National Bank, with his wife, were waiting at the sta- tion in Amboy to take Miss Smith in their automobile to her new home upon the request of Pankhurst. She handed the Mayor a letter of introduction along with her peper box, I hurried off without any trunk,” she said, to avoid reporters.’” The six miles to Temperance Hill were traversed quickly. The shades were up and there was a light in every room of the Pankhurst home. Supper was ready on the table. Aunt Louisa’s white apron stood out in the darkness, the only spot of color, followed by Uncle Jimmy's” plump shadoryv. “This is Miss Smith,“ said the Mayor to Mrs. Pankhurst. “How do you do, Miss Smith?“ said Aunt Louisa. 0 „Oh, I like the fresh Again.“ „Tou are the feller, alright,“ said Uncle Jimmy, with a twisting hand- shake and a hearty smile.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1916. by Press Pub. Co.) PARIS, Aug. 14—Ralph Pulitzer of the New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch, enjoved vesterday a thrilling and, for any civilian of any nationality, a unique experience. He was taken as a passenger in a new type of double motor biplane from Paris to the front. The biplane skimmed along so close to earth that its occupants could plainly see the Ger- mans in their trenches and distinguish the bursting of shells over them. After a flight along the firing lines, the biplane returned to Paris in safety, after covering about 93 miles. Unprecedented Privilege. This unprecedented flight privilege was granted by a special order is- sued by the French Government. No journalist ever has been taken aloft before in warfare and few if any mili- tary observers of neutral nations have been permitted \such an experience. ‘the machine rose from the aviation grounds in a suburb of Paris at 5:30 p. m. The powderful biplane headed at high speed straight for the long, grim lines of trenches miles away. As they neared the line of trenches the aviator gradually descended until the biplane seemed almost to skim the earth. The two men heard plainly the detonations of the artillery. Closely Approaches German Trenches, The biplane turned as it sped over the French trenches, and followed their jagged course, and then obliquing, ap- proached so close to the enemy trenches that, looking down, bursting shells could be plainly distinguished. The German trenches were easily visible, as were soldiers defending them. After coursing some distance along the opposing lines, the return trip started, and this was made without es- pecial event, a perfect landing in the aviation park ending the adventure. The machine in which the flight was made is known as “‘Avion de Chasse, the “aeroplane of pursuit.” It is one of the speediest, as well as the most powerfully equipped aircraft in the French service. The Avion de Chasse carries a new type of machine gun. RESERVOIR BIDS OPENED Hiram Lieyd Construction Ce. Fig- ures Lowest for Compton Hill Work. The Hiram Lloyd Construction Co. bidding $280,187.70, was lowest bidder for the contract to reconstruct the Comp- ton Hill Reservoir by Dec. 1, 1916. The Board of Public Service had estimated the cost at $410,000. The board yesterday opened 21 bids for the work. The McCormack-Coombs Construction Co. was secofid lowest bid- der, with an offer of $287,556. The award will be made Tuesday, prob- ably. The two basins of the reservoir at Grand and Lafayette avenues have beer in a leaky condition for many vears, and it ie estimated that close to 1,000,000 gallons of water daily drains off through the rocky soil. In ardition to being made waterproof, the basins will be raised 12 feet, and the surround- ing grounds will be terraced.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. v., Aug. 14.— Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, speak- ing today on “Peace” before the Chautauqua Assembly, reaffirmed her statement that Europe’s soldiers in some cases have been stimulated by alcoholics and drugs for the bayonet charge. “My informants in England, France and Germany were soldiers, officers and well-informed civilians,’ said Miss Addams. “I don’t question the soldiers’ caurage,” she continued, “but when a prominent official in the Paris office tells me his own men are given absinthe before a bayonet charge, I believe Him. When a Ger- man Lieutenant tells me his men were given a drug forniula, contain- ing sulphuric ether among other things, to stimulate their bloody bay- onet work, I believe him. And when a big Oxford University professor in England tells me his son and nephew were given rum to stimulate them in battle, I believe him. When common talk in all countries, among the women who have husbands and sons and sweethearts at the front, tells the same thing, I begin to believe that the average soldier ſe not suf- ficiently brutish and beastly to fight with cold steel against his brother man unless primed with drugs or strong drink.” Miss Addams told many intéresting details of her peace mission with Dr. Alice Hamilton, of the Department of Labor in London, Berlin, Paris, Budapest, Rome and the Hague, and added: “Every nation sincerely believes it is fighting for self-protection, for righteousness, Bach will hold out to the end of its strength unless some neutral power offers effective inter- vention. Everywhere civilians are dominated by militarists. America must lead the fight for peace and disarmament. No European country can solve the riddle and the muddle.” AMERICAN BARK WITH COTTON STILL HELD BY GERMANS Decision in the Pass of Balmaha Awaits Ultimate Action in the Dacia Case.

IBRITISH OFFICIAL SAYS IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO MAKE COTTON CONTRABAND Parliamentary Secretary Defines Government’s Position—Plans for Compensating Ameri- cans Being Discussed. By Associated Press, LONDON, Aug. 4.—Lord Robert Cecil, Parliament Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the course of a formal in- terview yesterday defining the British Government's attitude in the complicat- ed cotton situation, made this state- ment: “The allies must by all lawful means? prevent cotton from reaching their ene- mies; it may be considered necessary to make cotton contraband.” At the same time Lord Cecil studious- ly refrained from any hint that the commodity would be removed from the free list at any specified date, or that the Government had evolved any solu- tion to meet the demands of American cotton growers and neutral consumers. He stated explicitly, however, that if cotton were made contraband Dngland would consider the act legal and inter- nationally justified. Defines Government's Position. His statement, being the first in be- half of the Government outside Par-! liament, and coming at a time when the public is clamoring for drastic action to shut off the supply from Germany, is taken in some quarters to presage this step in the near future. Lord Cecil’s statement, which is prefaced with the explanation that it describes the Gov- ernment’s position concerning cotton, “so far as it is at the moment possible to define,”’ follows in full: “The British Government, acting in conjunction with its allies, is giving the cotton situation its most earnest consid- eration. The Government is fully aware of the importance of cotton to America. We fully understand that upon a satis- factory adjustment of the matter de- pends to a considerable degree the wel- fare of nearly a quarter of the popula- tion of the United States. The welfare of the whole population of Great Brit- tain, however, also is involved, ag well as that of all Great Britain’s allies, for whom the British Government is acting in these and other matters concerning contraband trade. a “The fundamentals of the situation are quite clear. The allles must, by all law- ful means, prevent cotton from reaching their enemies. This is a vital military necessity, which all the world will rec- ognize. Consideration for Neutrals, “At the same time, equally important consideration must be given to a great cotton producing country like America, and to consuming countries like Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Holland. A pol- icy must be devised which will respect the legitimate rights of neutrals, an- yet safeguard the legitimate interests of the allies, and inflict as much damage as possible upon our enemies. “Cotton has not yet been declared contraband, but under our blockade all cotton, which is believed to be destined for Germany, is stopped. “It may be considered necessary to make cotton coptrabaend. There ia 0 demand in the allieg countries that | this should be done, There ts assur- ediy ample justification for the action if ie is deemed necessary. Cotton is a very important, an essen- tial, ingredient, in fact, of prepuision ex- plosives. Copper is contraband by all the laws of the nations, and yet in the present war cotton has been shown to Le more important than copper. There may be substitute for copper in mak- ing munitions of war. For cotton there is no known substitute. If American cotton goes through to Germany the Therefore, cotton must not go to Ger- mantra, “Maki cotton contraband would be a distinctly legal ection and can be internationally justified beyond protest. So far as American cottor is concerned, however, the problem of marketing cotton on this side would un- dergo little change. American cotton destined for Germany is now stopped. If the product were made contraband. jit would be stopped in the same man- NEW YORK NEWSPAPER MAN KILLED IN AUTO IN COLORADO Arthur J. Billing Loses Life and 5. J.

The principal difference would be that if cotton were contraband, snipe ments from America, which were sus- pected of being for Germany would be seized and would be liable to confisca- tion by prize court procedure if proof were obtainable of German destination, whereas, now, the cotton is seized. but not necessarily confiscated. “Must Permit Neutral Tradiss.” In any case, whether cotton is con- traband or not, ths allies nust permit neutral trading in this product. Amer- ican growers must be given their mar- ket in neutral countries even if they are adjacent to Germany, and the ir-: dustries of those countries must have the cotton required for their own needs. How to permit this supply to move for- ward and yet safeguard the allies’ in terests by making sure that none of it will go to the enemy constitutes a com- plicated problem of great dimension. “We are interested only in keeping cotton out of Germany, we do not object to its going to neutral countries, but we in fact are anxious that it should ge in order that there shall be minimum in- convenience to the neutrals concerned. “It is obvious what the loss of Ger- man and Austrian markets will mean to American cotton growers. We fully realize that if there is no German and Austrian outlet prices may go down and that, Americans will suffer unless some means are devised for compensation. Proposals in that direction have been made and are receiving careful consid- eration. What will come of them I can- not say at this time. Certainly I am not at liberty to imply that tavorable action will be taken, nor will I say that it will not. “All Americans must be fully aware of the complicated and gigantic char- acter of any scheme of this sort and the study it will require before being put into operation. I hope America will not be impatient, but will rest assured that the governments of the allies will Kive every consideration to the legiti- mate interests of all neutrals.“ At a meeting this week in London, called to urge the Government to make cotton contraband, a letter from Lord Charles Beresford was read, advocating that the Government purchase all Amer- lean cotton available and sell it even at a loss. Bankers’ Association Pian for Com- prehensive Cotton Marketing. GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 14.—Bank- ers from the cotton growing states met here today to confer on the problem of marketing the cotton crop. The meet- ing was called by Joseph Hirsch of Cor- pus Christi, president of the Texas Bankers’ Association, as a result of the successful warehousing campaign car- ried on by the Texas organization dur- ing the last six weeks. Informal conferences of the bankers, held before the formal opening of the meeting, developed almost unanimous sentiment in favor of the organization of a Cotton States Bankers’ Associa- tion. This association, if organized, will have for its main purpose the education of the bankers and farmers of the South In a comprehensive plan of marketing the staple which will re- move from the market in the early part of the season all distress cotton. The means for accomplishing this result, the bankers believe, is proper warehousing and advances to farmers by local banka, who will take as security proper ware- house receipts and insurance policies. This plan, it is declared, will afford relief to the growers who are in imme- diate need of funds at the opening of the cotton picking season, will insure a more nearly uniform price throughout the market season, and result in ulti- mate benefit to the grower, the banker and the spinner and through these tw the whole population of the South. Among those present were T. C. Tup- per of St. Louis, Deputy Federal Re- serve Agent, and F. W.

Question Whether She Can Say More in June or December De- bated at Baptist Convention. — Does a woman talk more in Decem- der than in Junef This interesting but futile problem came before the State Assembly of Young Baptists in their convention at Arcadia Heights this week. Four Baptist preachers and two school teachers undertook to settle this question. The Rev. Dr. C. B. Miller of Kan- sas City, the Rev. Lewis M. Hale of Maryville and Pref. George L. John- son of the John Marshall School of St. Louis undertook to prove that « woman talks more in December than in the month of roses. The Rev. E. J. Dillard ef St. Je- seph, the Rev. T. B. Frary, pastor of the Grand Avenue Baptist Church of St. Louls, and Dr. J. J. Evans of Wil- clared with much eloquence and logic that woman talks more in June. Dr. Miller scored a very strong point in favor of Deeember when he asserted that everything, including a woman's tongue, contracts in De- tember, due to the well-known prin- ciple in physics that cold contracts, and that the contracted tongue, like the contracted pendulum of a clock, necessarily wags faster at any other period of the year. More Time ie December... Dr. Haleby, by mathematical caleule- tion, proved that there were 86,400 more seconds in December than in June and that since a woman makes use of every second for talking it was an indisputable fact that she would get more talk out of her sys- tem in the 31 days of December than in the 30 days of June. Prof. Johnson underteok to qualify as an expert on the subject of a wom- an's conversational powers by assert- ing an intimate acquaintance with his mother, grandmother, wife and mother-in-law. December was the month, he declared, when women re- quired most clothing. It was a physi- cal impossibility for a woman te make, buy or acquire clothes, he said, without a superabundance of talk. There was nothing on earth, he de- clared, that would cause a women’s tongue to rattle out so much conver- sation as clothes. It wae the one subject that had produced the greatest flood of words since the beginning of time. The cpposition undertook to shatter these argumer.is. Dr. Evans made the observation that June having the leng- est days and shortest nights. and De- cember the shortest days and longest nights, that June offered much more favorable natural advantages for Son- versation than December. Necessarily, a woman would talk more in June than in December, unless she talked in her sleep. Free and Unbridled. Dr. Dillard contended that December being a month of examinations end June u month of graduations, that the advantages were with the summer month. Young women often heve very little te say around examination time, and not much afterwards. But at gradustion time. with dresses te be se- lected and essays to de read, a Woman's tongue would be a@ free and unbridled as a Panhan“le mustang. Dr. Frary scored a telling point in favor of June by asserting that Dees ber was the month of propesais and June the month of weddings. There is not much conversation around proposa! time, he declared. He described how 4 young man, in December, after prepos- ing, would hold the hand of Ris gweet- heart n whole hour waiting for the hope- ful word—which oeften failed to be spoken. But in June, when the wedding preparations are going on, there fe a vastness of conversation which ebds and flows continuously. Arthur Fisk of Misstesippt was judge of the debate. He decided that as there was never any time when d women was not talking that it was impessidie for him to determine, from the whether she talked most in December or June. submitted: The typhoid bacillus, Is waiting to kill us. liam Jewell College, Liberty, Mo., de- —_— 5 - 99 * —— 8 ees xt let ar- e dation * *

The President had before him the cp- peal of Gov. Ferguson of Texas for more Federal troops. Breckinridge submitted Gea, Funston’s reports regarding recent disturbances and outlined the military forces now on the border or at nearby posts, about 17,000 men in all. Later Breckinridge reiterated the statement that no more troops would be ordered to the border unless Gen. Funston should request them. Persistent reports that armed Mexi- cans are crosing the border, endeavoring to stir up trouble, are regarded as sig- nificant, however, and a strict patrol is being kept. President Wilson today telegraphed to Gov. Ferguson of Texas who asked for more Federal troops, that Major-Gen- eral Funston was in charge of the bor- der situation and that more troops would be sent if Gen. Funston * them. Gen. Funston reported to the War Department today that after a confer- ence with Gov. Ferguson it was agreed that no more troops were needed at this time. Gen. Funston added that most of the raiders who crossed the lina near Brownsville were Mexicans and they were joined by about 2 Mexican resi- dents of Texas. He believes the band has now been dispersed. The War Department issued this sum- mary of ite advices from Gen. Funston. “Nothing serious has occurred within the last two days. It is known that the principal part of a band of outlaws was driven across the Rio Grande into Mex- ico. It is now established beyond doubt that a considerable portion of the band came from Mexico and were officers and soldiers of Carranza forces, doubt- less acting without authority of their chiefs. Once on this side ct the river they were joined by about 2% Texas Mexicans, all well armed and mounted, and proceeded to raid through the coun- try as far as Norias.” Armed Men in Auto G60 in Search of Mexican Raiders.

CANDIDATE FOR BURTON'S JOB IN WATER OFFICE IS FIRED James Duross, a deputy assessor of water rates, who was indefinitely sus- pended yesterday by Claude B. Burton, Supervisor of Water Rates, is the third man under Burton who was a candidate before the Efficiency Board for Burton's job, who has een dropped from the rolls. Duross ranked first in the efficiency test and Burton second. Burton declined yesterday to discuss the dropping of Duross, and Water Commissioner Wall said it was neceesary to reduce the ex- penditures in that office as they were exceeding the allowance, There are 12 deputy assessors, and Commissioner Wall said Duross was se- lected by Burtor as the one to be dis- missed. He said he would consider Bur- ton justified in dismissing a man be- cause of personal dislike, even if he happened to be the most efficient man in the service. .Duross said to a reporter that Burton told him a few weeks ago that he could fire a man it he did not like the color of his recktie,” under the new charter.

NCIDENTS IN LIFE UF WOMAN WHO Reared With Sister at Duquoin, III., Where Policeman Re- cently Killed Brother, By a Staif Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. DUQUOIN, II., Aug. 14.—Duquoin is taking a great deal of interest in the $230,000 breach of promise suit that has been brought in St. Louis by Mrs. Kath- leen E. Gowdy against Herman C. G. Luyties. Mrs. Gowdy and her aister, the Marchioness de Janelli, were born and reared in this city and are remembered by nearly all the residents. Duquoin still knows Mrs. Kathleen Gowdy as Kate Reese, and her sfster, the Marchioness Adelaide as Della Reese. As small children in Duquoin they did not have many advantages. Their father was Capt. Lycurgus Reese, a veteran of the Civil War. He had been married before the marriage of which these girls were born. He had children by his first marriage. Capt. Reese settled in Duquoin soon after the war and had little of worldy goods. He was active in poli- tics and after a time became City Marshal. Girls Educated by Benefactor. After many years he accumulatéd a little property, and at his death a few years ago bequeathed to his children $20 acres of land near town, and some «ther land went to his widow. The land is said to be worth about $50 an acre, The girls attended the Duquoin schools, and as they grew to woman- hood were known as beautiful girls. The Duquoin residents remember them as sprightly girls who had many friends, numbering among their best friends William E. Brookings, formerly Mayor ef Duquoin, and other leading citizens. One of the older residents told the reporter that when they become “good big girls“ they left Duquoin and were gone four or five rears. When they re- turned, he said, Kathleen told him a benefactor who admired their beauty and brightness had sent them to a fash- ionable school in New York, where they were educated. Both are highly educated and speak several languages. Kathleen was mar- ried in Duquoir to Gowdy. an advertis- ing solicitor. Mrs. Gowdy and her husband stayed five weeks in a hotel in Quincy, III., in 1903, it was learned. He was working an advertising proposition among Quin- cy merchants. He left Quincy, ostensi- bly on a business trip, and did not re- turn. Mrs. Gowdy was without money. and was cared for by Mrs. F. H. Weems, a wealthy resident of that city. Mrs. Gowdy wrote to Mrs. Weems un- til recently. In letters she said her hus- band died several years ago, but did not say when or where. Mrs, Weems knew Mrs. Gowdy’'s sister as Miss Cerf.’’ Della, after completing her education, a Duquoin friend said, entered the em- ploy of the Cook agency, which con- ducts foreign tours. While abroad, Della met Janelll, who was connected with the Italian legation in China. She afterward told Duquoin friends how she married Janel‘i and spent several years in China, Japan and other foreign countries, where her education was broadened. The daughters returned to Du- quoin last April, after the killing of their brother, and remained several days endeavoring to sell their land holdings, but were unsuccessful. They asked $100 an acre for the land. Owing to the fact that their mother has a life estate in the property, legal complications prevented a sale. They dia not zo to their mother’s home, but remained at the hotel. They are said to have told friends that their mother’s home was too much like the home they had known as children, and that they were afraid that Janelli’s relatives might learn they had gone there, and would be displeased. The Reese family has been the subject of unfortunate publicity several times in the past. The most recent instance was the killing by a Duquoin policeman last March of Robert Reese, a brother of the Reese sisters. Young Reese had been arrested on suspicion that he was one of a crowd of intoxi- cated youths who had attacked a po- liceman when he sought to quiet them. Several days after the arrest young Reese met the policeman on the street. The policeman said Reese attacked him and he killed him: Members of the Reese family said young Reese ap- proached the policeman in a friendly spirit and only wanted to reach a peace- ful settlement of their trouble. A half-brother of Mrs. Gowdy, Ed- ward Reese, gained notoriety several vears ago when he was arrested and sen- tenced to the penitentiary for highway robbery.

The Post;Dispatch has it from one who witnessed the appearance and performance of the little friends of the poor, who wrote: Please accept JI. the gift of the fairies. Yes, real fairies danced on the green last Thursday and around Clara Turner as their queen. And when the fairy dance was over the elfin band declared they had enough real dimes to make some little child happy for at least a day.’’ The names of those composing the lit- tle fairy band are Ruth Wallace, Grace Wallace, Clara Turner, Geraldine Tur- ner and George Milton Kerth. There are thousands of such children in St. Louis and its neighbor communities, all busy this season, that the blight of mis- fortune upon the helpless babies may be averted at least in large measure. A dozen girls and boys of tender age, residing on the 3600 block of Lafayette avenue, first cseayed a lemonade stand as a medium for raising money for the cause. While fairly successful, the sum realized was far below what they had resolved to obtain, so they at once or- ganized and produced a show. In this they scored a real triumph, financially and otherwise, the total being $6.50. These little people are Marie, Gabriella and Louis Pfeffer, Eugenia,. Margery, Louis, Forest, Stuart and Joseph Mur- phy, Virginia and Paul Freund and Cathryn Heller. Tots Operate Lemonade Stand. Little Lucille, Mary and Cornelius Chapman, Elvin Tepe, Kathryn Cahill and Mildred Tatem, all tots, gave them- selves over to the undertaking of doing something for the poor babies, set them- selves up 2 lemonade stand and raised 75 cents The “Girls of Oakley Place,” as that band of little philanthropists who cach year contribute materially to the Pure Milk and Ice Fund, are known, this year raised $21.41 through a bazar at 123] Oakley place, the home of one of their number, Florence Rubin. It partook largely of the character of a lawn party, picturesque style, and the girls entered heartily into the sale of ice cream, cake and novelties; They are Misses Flor- ence Rubin, Helen Medearis, Virginia Medearis, Nellie Walker, Ruth Woerner, Grace McCuskey and Kathryn Ayliffe. Four Boys Work for Cause. The lemonade stand, from which soda water and watermelons also have been sold for several days by four young boys, will be closed this evening, with what promises to be material benefit for the babes. Rain interfered somewhat with the ambitious plans of the little inerchants, but they redoubled their ef- forts on the favorable days and will emerge from the enterprise with a sum that will go far toward saving the lives of some infants. The stand was on a lot at Sarah and Morgan streets, do- nated for ths purpose by W. A. Stork, who also aided the boys in other valu- able ways. The workers are Eugene and Marvin Reinfeld, Fred Canmarr and Charlie Batavia. GOING AWAY THIS SUMMER? Make your vacation complete.

Mrs. Gowdy Talks of Early Incidents of Her Life. Mrs. Gowdy was seen at the Jeffer- son this.morning by a reporter for the Post-Dispatch. Her attorney, Charles M. Hay, formerly of Fulton, Mo., lead- er of the dry“ forces in the State Legislature, was not present. For the past several days he has been chaperon- ing squads of reporters in relays to her, to have her tell her troubles. She dis- cussed with the reporter the incidents of her earlier life in Duquoin which are related above. Mrs. Gowdy received the Post-Dis- patch reporter this morning in the hall- way cutside he: room, which is on the ninth floor of the hotel. She discussed her early life in Duquoin, but insisted that it had no bearing on her present suit. She said it was not true that she and her sister were educated by a bene- factor, and that her old friends in Du- quoin had no right to say that they were. She said her education was re- ceived after she married. She and Gowdy separated in 1903. He died sev- eral years ago.. She insisted that anything concerning her brothers, or other members of her family, had no place in a discussion of her suit against Luyties. “I guess every family has some things come up of an unpleasant nature,“ she said, and my family is no exception. But this is not a family affair. It is my own affair. “ft am sory I ever started this suit. It has ruined my reputation which al- ways has been spotiess. This notoriety is almost killing me.“ Mre. Gowdy is rather stout and of short stature. She has flashing blue eyes and talks in quick, sprightly manner. III., Sunday Dinner: Roast Duck, %c. Bos- ton Lunchroom, 11 North Broadway.

From “The Song of the Scarlet Host and Other Poems,’’ by Joseph Bernard Reth. (Published by the Interna- tional, 1123 Broadway, New York.) “THE WORLD STORM AND BE- YOND.” ROF. EDWIN DAVIES SCHOON- MAKER, in a vigorously written book of this title, has attempted to solve some of the great problems that will confront the world after this war. Some of them are: . Has the role of Caesar fallen to the Kaiser or to the Czar? “What lessons in democracy has a dominant Slavic race in store for us? Has the Church collapsed? “Has the war, instead of defeating Socialism, proved its validity?” „How will the slaughter of men affect the problems of women and marriage?” Each chapter is a complete essay, but helps to round out a most harmonious and helpful discussion. The subjects mentioned are but a few of those treated in this very interesting book. He holds that the fundamental cause of the war is the course” of landlordism. Of this, he says: Landlordism no less than militarism is one of the problems that must some- how be solved by this war, if the peace which the world is hoping will come is to be a permanent peace. For the terrible sacrifices which Europe is mak- ing to end war would be to no purpose were its aim simply to abolish prepara- tions for war and not also causes of war. So long as there is one nation that, without restraint and as the mood seizes it, is allowed to confiscate the iands of weak peoples in every part of the earth and to compel every person who settles within this conquered terri- tory and who wishes to participate in the government of his new home to sever his connection with his own coun- try and become a subject of the con- quering ifation, it is as plain as day that the present war will be followed by another and still another, until land- lordism, too, has disappeared. If the question is not answered now and an- swered rightly, it will be repeated by other guns in other lands, by Zeppelins in other skies. Any talk of disarmament that does not provide also for the dis- armament of the landlord is a mere bandying of useless words. For, as we have seen, landlordism is the main cause of militarism. And of the two, if we may judge by the comparative condi- tion of the people of England, where landlordism has had full sway, and the people of Germany, among whom mili- tarism has come to its most perfect flower, we are forced to admit that of the two curses landlordism is the more disastrous.”” (The Century Co.) THE BRITISH EYEWITNES® WAR STORIES. — HE nar®atives of the British Eye- 1 7 witness, who accompanied the ex- peditionary force to France and Flanders and reported from time to time the details of the operations of the little English army for the newspapers have been collected and published in one volume. They are truly interesting contributions to the history of the war, though they once grew so trivia] as to spur the populace of London to sneers. At this time the Eyewitness was indulg- ing in diversions because it was not deemed e to let the people know just what was going on at the front. En- gland has changed her policy since and she now finds that recruiting is best ET when there is fear of the dreaded Teu- ton in the heart of the nation. She ap- parently no longer needs an eyewitness to gloss over things for her and the thumps the German gives are recorded in bald bulletins, without any embroid- ery of picturesque description and e- cuse. The story of how the Eyewit- ness was evoluted out of his job will be one of the most interesting of the war when it is finally told. (Long- man.) “DEAD SOULS.” N “Dead Souls the reader will find | a humorous book with a rather dreary title. But the title represents the book extremely well. The central theme of the book is the buying up of dead serfs. Serfs used to be called „souls.“ They could not very well be called men and women, since they were serfs. So they were called “souls.” Tchitchikoff, who has come to be to Russia what Don Quixote is to Spain, conceives the idea of buying up dead souls who are still registered in the cen- sus as living. These dead souls he mort- gages and borrows large sums of money. In the purchase of these souls he has to travel and interview estate owners. It is here that the author has an oppor- tunity to describe Russian character. The book is called a novel. It is not a novel, since it is really a series of inci- dents. It is a fine satire of Russian life and gives an insight into Russian of- ficialdom. It shows the attitude of the Russſan toward his duty as an official. One can readily understand why Rus- sia is being so badly defeated in the present war and in other wars, by studying Russian character as describe by Nikolai Gogol, who is recognized as one of the greatest fiction writers Rus- sia possessed. He was a forerunner of all the good writers who came after. «Gogol is a true artist in his portrayal of character. The reader is interested from the moment he opens the book to the time he closes it. It is a pity that the last part was written by other hands than that of Gogol, who did not finish the book. His Russian temperament got the best of him, and he became melan- choly and burned the second part of his book. The translation is good and the introduction by Stephen Graham is help- ful. (Stokes.) —ů— AMERICA AND HER PROBLEMS. AUL H. B. D’ESTOURNELLES DE P CONSTANT, who visited the United States on several occasions, has put down his impressions of this country in a book which he calls “Amer- ica and Her Problems.” The first part of the book is taken up with descrip- tions of his travels from coast to coast. He tells of the interesting persons he has met and of the impression the land and the people has made upon him. St. Louis receives proper notice in the book, as the author lectured here and was well received. He glorifies one man because that one man was his host. But that can always be forgiven in a writer who writes impressions of the moment. The second part is given over to the problems of this country. Our real prob- lems he has hardly seen. Our labor problem and our problems of immigra- tion and the negro, he has been unable to see. Such problems are not really seen by visitors. He has had an oppor- tunity to study something of the idealis- tic movements of this country. These he touches upon nicely. The woman question the author speaks of with more understanding than some of the other problems. The book is interesting, as are all books in which visitors help us see our- selves as others see us. In this case the work is done by the facile pen of a man coming from a country which is famous for art. The author is a true son of France, who can write artistically and hold the interest of his readers. ( Macmillan.) — — — FRANK HARRIS AT HIS BEST.

My attention has been called to an editorial which you produced without comment on the date of July 30th, from the Philadelphia Ledger, in which you quote: “The American Independence Union, a ‘neutral’ organization of which Mr. Bar- tholdt seems to be the active head, declares that British agents are buying editorial space in American newspapers for the dissemination of pro-British opinions,” The editorial then goes on to abuse Mr. Bartholdt for charging that American newspapers are venal. . In publishing this you have, perhaps uninten- tionally, done the organization of which I am the head, and me personally, a deep injustice which in the name of the fair play, which at least formerly was attributed of the American press, I hope you will rectify. The editorial from the Philadelphia paper re- fers to a notice sent out by the Union, reproduc- ing an editorial from the Stockholms Tidningen, the foremost Swedish newspaper, which brings against the English press the charge that a Lon- don firm, G. Street & Co., had sent to all the Swedish newspapers an offer to pay for editorials it was distributing, making atrocity charges against the Germans. The Swedish press indig- nantly resented this slur cast upon its honor. It was pointed out that this explains the many anti- German special dispatches sent here from Lon- don under the date lines of Venice, Geneva, Athens, Ste., which contradict the truthful news sent out from these centers by our Associated Press and other American press associations, So you see I did not cast a slur upon the Ameri- 2 Very truly yours, RICHARD BARTHOLDT.

There has been a great deal of discussion to ed States, and I think one of the best ways to ac- complish this would be, for the press, which is always influential in molding public sentiment, te start a campaign to impress upon all residents of this city the advisability of purchasing goods made at home. All of our manufacturing plants and business houses are virtually a mutual proposition, In ether words, “a wheel within a wheel.” If you are prosperous you have money to spend, and you will spend it with the people right here at The other day I was talking to a man, and in the course of our conversation he complained about how dull business was, and I learned that he did not have an article on his person that was made in St. Louis, I remarked that his shoes, hat. suit of clothes, shirt and tie that he was wear- ing were made out of town, and, further, that these agticles, equally as good, if not better, are manufactured and sold right here in St. Louts, and if he would buy these instead of out-of-town made products, it would help us all. He thought for a minute and acknowledged that I was right. The above scheme is not & new one. We have im the fall of each year a miniature exposition of home-made products, and after it is over, the mat- ter is left to rest.

The newer conditions affecting those relations are: The low rail-and-water rates between At- lantic ports and St. Louis territory in the South- west; on the one hand the general railroad move- mient for higher freight rates between interior points, which are said to be granted without prop- er consideration for the effect on the currents of trade, and on the other hand the marked cheapen- ing of transportation between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts consequent on the completion of the canal. This cheapening is declared to “spell a loss of competitive power to the interior pro- ducer.” While the Government is relied on for deeper channels, and privete capital for the fleets of boats, municipal initiative must be looked to for improved. terminals to lessen costs in handling freight. Chicago spent $70,000,000 on its drain- age canal. The $100,000,000 improvement in the Erie Canal imposes heavy burdens on New York cities. Mr. Gatewood argues logically that St. Louis, about to come into possession of the levee railroad, can afford to make large sacrifices for water front utilities. Of the Missouri River and the Deakyne attempt to stop work thereon, Mr. Gatewood says: That stream, with a greater length by 300 miles than the upper Mississippi and the Ohlo put together, and with a drainage area of more than half a million square miles, is potentially the greatest trade river of all for St. Louis unless we except the lower Mississippi, which is in reality the lower Missouri. It is this be- cause, when it shall be improved to admit. of safe and regular navigation to the places on its headquarters to which St. Louis boats for- merly ran, it will turn the grain trade of the boundless Northwest from its eastern route down through the Valley to the very doors of St. Louis, and beyond to the sea. The return cargoes will be made of manufactured goods and coal and other mineral products of local output. In the tidewater country of Lousiana and Texas the construction of an 8-foot inter- coastal canal to extend from New Orleans to Brownsville, on the Mexican border, has been proceedings actively during the past four or five years and is now completed in sections repre- senting, in aggregate length, more than half the total distance—including therein the navi- gable bayous, small inland bays and stretches of deep river water which will be made to serve as parts of the course. Only a week or ten days ago the towns of Lake Charles, Orange, Beaumont and Port Arthur jointly celebrated at the first-named the completion of the Lake Charles-Sabine River section of this canal. More or less work has also been done on a proposed extension of the same waterway from New Orleans eastward along the Gulf coast; and eventually, no doubt, another great sec- tion of it will be carried up through the low swampy country of the Carolines and Vir- ginia, as urged by the Atlantic Deep Water- ways Association, Returning from this temporary coastal di- gression to what is being done in the interior of the country to augment or prepare the way for water-borne traffic, it is now a rather old story that St. Paul, Chattanooga, Pittsburg, Davenport, Kansas City, Omaha, Birmingham (on the Warrior River) and numbers of smal- ler places have either completed or are un- dertaking the improvement of harbor freight- handling facilities. While: sanguine, this view cannot be regarded as an overstatement of the case and should vital- ize effort to combat the Deakyne report. The restoration of river trade on such a scale as to furnish incentive for attempts to control its advantages by combination and suppression of competition ‘is foreseen. This possibility is effectively used to enforce the point that “harbor and terminal facilities of the river cities should be municipally owned without flaw of title.” This contribution of the Lumberman has a value which ought to assist the efforts of the Post-Dispatch and others to awaken St. Louis to * duty of the present. = = rr Our “pajeant” where the Mississippi flows will be the greatest current event of the autumn.

The worst possible thing for the cause of the striking teamsters is a resort to violence by the strikers or their sympathizers. The strike lead- ers should be the first to check the incipient spirit of disorder which has been manifested by strike sympathizers because rioting would seriously in- terfere with efforts to reach a satisfactory ad- justment of the controversy. So far as the authorities are concerned, they have but one duty; that is to put down disorder and violence promptly and with unflinching vigor. The merits of the case have nothing to do with the enforcement of law and order and the pro- tection of life and property. Law and order are paramount. Meanwhile immediate steps should be taken to end the deadlock and resume the movement of traffic. Mayor Kiel should take leadership in the effort to settle the strike.

To the bulletin of the St. Louis Health De- partment,’ which publication deserves a wider cifculation, we are indebted for this information, based on Dr. William Osler’s volume on “Modern Medicine“: Great Britain furnishes a striking example of the efficiency of muzzling dogs. In 1887 there were 217 cases of rabies in Great Britain. In 1888, 160 cases and 1889, 312 cases. The in- crease caused alarm and muzzling of dogs was enforced. As a result of which, in 1890, 129 cases were seen; 1891, 79 cases, 1892, 38 cases. There was much opposition to muz- ling and the ordinance requiring the muz- ling of dogs was relaxed. In 1893 the number of cases rose to 93, in 1894 to 248 and in 1896 to 672. Owing to the general alarm, muzzling was again enforced, resulting at once in a marked decrease of cases to 438 in 18987, 17, in 1898, 9 in 1899 and none in 1900, well tour.” to save numbers of human beings from the most horrible of deaths.

If the business men of our community would but follow the example of those of the Eastern cities, they would soon learn that it takes time and practice to become proficient even as a pri- vate soldier. Men who live in a modern city learn nothing, as a rule, regarding the sanitary care of a camp of a large number of people, the prepara- tion of food and conservation of supplies, the methods used to prevent the introduction of dis- ease, the first alds to the injured and many other things that u soldier, to be properly trained, must know. A knowledge of any, or all of which may be of great value, if not of vital importance, to them at some stage of their life. If a sufficient number of our business and pro- fessional men so desire, Battery A will hold such a camp in October. Mayor Henry W. Kiel has promised his good offices in securing for the bat- tery the privilege of holding such a camp on the Municipal Farm, the beautiful former site of Fort Bellefontaine. The Mayor and several other of the “City Fathers” have under consideration participating in the camp. At the proposed camp the student soldiers will be taught the functions of modern artillery, the use of the equipment and will participate in the actual firing at targets. Not only the officers of the Battery, but also regular army officers will be present to act as instructors. This will be an opportunity for men who have had seme previous training to “get in tench” with dent Marshall prays for him every night.

P ²˙ OUR WEEKLY WAR REVIEW. * HE total mileage of the Russian army this week T exceeded that of last week by a few miles, but its peril has not been as great. The Ger- mans have been unable to get around the ends of the Russian host, and it is said to be safe. It is predicted that the Germans are going on to Petrograd. if that is so, the Russians are going beyond that point. From what we hear the Germans are disposed to believe that the war in that theater is about over, but that is not our impression. We are inclined to think it is just beginning. The Czar has sent 600,000 fresh troops to the front, and as the pursuit thunders into the in- terior of the empire the going for the Germans will not be what it was. True, the Russians must cross those same great swamps and plains, but they have been born and raised there, they will be the first to go through the cornfields and potato patches, and it will not be so hard on them as it will be on the Ger- mans. It is our guess that the Germans are not go- ing to Petrograd, but are about as far now as they will ever get. They are only chasing the Russians a bit for the moral effect. Everybody in the war is going in now for moral effects. It looked for a while as if morals were to be thrown out of the war, but they have suddenly become about the most important thing in it. It was for the moral effect that the Germans took Warsaw. It was for the moral effect that they made their Zeppelin raids on the British Coast. The allies have also become mighty moral, and it is chiefly for the moral effect that they are trying to capture Constantinople, The allies, too, have done better at the Dardanelles. this week. They are on Allah’s 30-mile line, and there is a hopeful rumor in England and France that it is to be a touchdown. One tremendously signifi- cant thing to happen was the cancellation by the allies yesterday of a 20,000,000-bushel wheat order they had placed in this country. It is naturally as- sumed that the allies expect to get that wheat from Russia, and they can't do that without first forcing the Dardanelles. Sir Ian Hamilton, who is leading the allies in that picturesque fight, has had an un- usually good week. He not only trebled the ground held by the allied army, but he got some of his poetry on the cable, which Mark Twain always regarded as the first proof of greatness. After reading the poetry we have decided that if Sir Ian can take the Dm mn ene ONS leer Bey longer. In the Western theater of war there is nothing to review. About all the progress being made there is that made from day to day by our own theory that the battle in Flanders is a draw. They are now be- ginning to feel that way about it on both sides, and the sooner they crawl out of their trenches and fight some place else the earlier the greatest folly of which humankind has yet shown itself capable will end. There are still rumors of a rush from one side or the | — — — — — dN ( Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams a Ng yl — — — other, but they are no more than inducements to the other fellow to try it. Think of two great armies get- ting in such a position that they cannot do anything! If it is absurd, it is no more than the fighting Powers deserve. They are themselves absurd, and their fool war is the prize piece of monkeybusiness since time began. The Italians have spent their usual quiet week at the Adriatic resorts. They can’t dislodge the Aus- trians, and the Austrians can’t dislodge them. There was great rejoicing in England“ and France when Italy declared war, but it has cooled off a little since she showed what she couldn't do. It is said for the Italians that like their celebrated forebears, the Ro- mans, they are slow to get going. It may beso. We only know that Austria, which is engaged upon an- other front with a much more powerful foe, is hold- ing the Italians with a few Alpine yodlers and cha- mois hunters. The war on the water is chiefly confined to reports of heavy firing quarters where battles are im- minent. The B ‘have sort of gotten their hands in at submarining, and they are blowing everything up around the sea of Marmora. The Germans are still boosting tugboats and trawlers into the ether, but are not catching much else. The Japs make no sound. So long a silence makes it certain that they are not only up to . but are up to some- thing big. THE AGE OF GENIUS. T the age of 18 David is said to have written his first psalm.

That was the beginning of their real acquaintance. But in the factory they continued to appear as strangers. This love that had come to them was too sweet, too intimate for public knowl- edge. 4 It had been the simplest thing in the world. There never was any formal declaration. That night,-as they parted, she raiged her lips to his, more like a sister than a sweetheart. On Sundays he took her on a trolley into the coun- try. And they began to dream about the future. $10,000 a Year! * lrony of that bit into Tom's HE new girl in the pattern depart- ment was so pathetic: lly tired, Tom Roberts watched her furtive- ly all that first day of her arrival, as she stood at the high desk next his own, wearily sorting and checking the pat- terns for the Ladies’ Fashion Realm Co. The other young men watched her less secretly. In fact, winks and nudges were thick in the pattern department that morning. For the new girl was undeniably a beauty. The other girls had noticed that fact, too. She was hardly more than 18, and there was an air of breeding about her which more than one girl instinctively resented. Lucy Whitman was, in fact, bern to better things than this 36 po- sition. Her father had been a small ; shopkeeper, with ambitions for his chi- dren. When he died Lucy had to get a position, and the only one which offered was that of waitress in a res- tatirant. She stood that life for two months. But it was impossible for a girl of her &ppearance to endure it lonx- er. Besides, the proprietor was angry because she refused to make up to his customers. A pretty girl meant in- creased trade, and he saw no harm in her acceptin, the cheap badinage of the clerks who frequented his place. soul. Suppose he managed to get $15 a week ultimately?

He would unfasten a huge bun- dle of the paper patterns, check off the number of each one in a book, shifting them along, the desk until he came to the end; then he would fasten them together and get another bundle. It was less the labor than the sou)- searing monotony, of the thing. Mu- lions of patterns must have passed through his hands in those four years, and the supply was quite inexhaustible. And Lucy was just beginning where he Was now. The thought of those endless patterns had become a nightmare.

At 22 he was as helpless in the heart of this grinding civiliza- tion of commerce as a savage might be. He saw the rich men everywhere, men who rode in automobiles, who stood, in evening dress, at the theater entrances. How did they get their chances? And why couldn’t he?” “Say, Rogers, did you hear Brown is going to leave?” asked one of the men at the factory one day. “Got a $10,000 job with the Women's Cloak and Skirt peo- ple. Devoe’s pretty mad at losing him, I guess, but everybody in his department is looking for Brown’s job.“ Ten thousand dollars a year! Tom felt a surge of disgust within him. He could have done as well as Brown. And he knew the business from the bot- tom up. He had not been there four years for nothing. And Devoe had lied to him. During the lunch hour he went into Devoe’s office, passifig the swing door that separated the factory from the sales department for the first time in his life. He was burning all over with anger against the man. The End of the Grind.

My dear boy, who are you? I don’t know you from Adam,” he said. Tom thought he was lying. “I brought you a letter four years ago, and you said you wouldn't forget me, and that vou tried out new men on the road,“ said Tom. Devoe was interested.

It Is No “Hit or Miss” Trick, but Must Be Carefully Planned for When Frock Is Designed. : O give a “touch of color” to a frock sounds like such an easy thing, but how very indefinite the sug- gestion is! One can somehow imagine 4 touch of color, but where and how to introduce it is perplexing when one gets right down to it. Years ago it must have been easier to do this, for one could wear a colored sash, a colored rib- bon around the wrist, a rose in the hair or at the belt, and all such, but now the touch of color must be really planned for in the developing of the frock, or at least give the appearance of such pre- vious consideration. Even when artificial flowers are used, which is quite the vogue still for even- ing gown, they are placed where one must realize they could not be left out. And usually a strap or bow of velvet or ribbon the same color as the flower is seen somewhere else on the frock to make apparent the careful planning for its use. On summer frocks of all white one often sighs for just a touch of color“ for variation, and also on colored forcks a bit of contrasting color is often desired. But to accomplish it so that the original distinctive qualities of the frock will not be spoiled and yet other attractiveness will be added is difficult. If a frock flaunts dainty ruffles as an elaboration, which are finished with a tiny hem or picot-edged in the pop- ular way, some bright-colored worsted may be coarsely overhanded on thelr edges. Should the ruffles be hemmed an inch or so deep by hemstitching, which is also popular, a string of worsted may be run in and out of the tiny holes, ac- complishing an effective and original result. Also on ruffles a touch of color might be added in the form of beads sewn along the hem, or larger beads dripping from the very edge. The same sort might be added to the trimming of the neck and sleeves. frock, bowknots of colored cording might be sewn flat at iftervals upon it. Bow- for them, to insure against a ‘‘tacked- on” effect. If lact banding is used in trimming a @ knots of ribbon may also serve a pretty ¢ purpose if a definite place can be found & E ˙» i~ — — —Uuʃñ—.⁊— ae tie — „ Ah 4 Children’s 2 HE Ameriean child is the | most ill-bred child in 3 the world,” said a certain famous foreigner who was here a year or so ago.

We are so anxious to have our chil- dren enjoy themselves, to give them a “good time” when they are young and to have their individuality assert itself, that often we do not stop to consider that what we call “individ- uality” is sometimes only selfishness and bad manners. Etiquette is not a more or less meaningless formula for the use of adults only. Good breeding cannot be assumed when one reaches the age of 21. The time to learn courtesy is in early youth. It ts impossible for a child to real- ize that his after life will be made smoother, simpler and easier by pleasant manners; so politeness must early be taught: by the parents, until it becomes second nature. “But politeness is so artificial,” I hear someone object. Not always. There is certainly syoh a thing as the natural courtesy that springs from an unselfish disposition, but even this is more agreeable if it has been given a little training. Good manners are after all only proper self-control and a respect for the rights of others. The first lesson naturally comes at that early age when the little tot tries to take whatever he wants, re- gardless of the claims of others. It is, of course, perfectly natural for a child to do this; and the impulse of parents and guardians is to indulge it. But if this ig done it is only lay- ing up trouble for the child in later years. For a human being cannot be- gin too young to learn a proper self-control. Dven very young children should be taught table manners. When the lit. tle folk begin to feed themselves is the time to begin. The fundamentals of the management of the knife and the fork and the spoon and the ou are demonstrated. The lesson of eat- — LOUIS BOULTER Shoe Man ufacturer Fine Handmade Footwear te Measure Particular attention paid to ten- der and crippled 1 — PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED 1718 Franklin Av.

It is also important to teach chil- dren how to greet’ strangers, and never to allow them to be remiss in this respect through shyness or care- lessness. Such training is much more important than most people realize for shyness is a serious handicap which can be very easily overcome in early youth. But once let the habit of shyness grow upon a child, and even if it be thrown off in after life, it will surely leave its traces in a certain or occasional awkwardness, Forwardness and pertness are even worse than shyness, though, fortu- nately, outgrown much more easily. A child shoudl be taught to pay proper respect to elders; to offer his chair when a woman enters the room; not to break into the conversation of older people, not to push and shove his way through any crowded place, not to race and yell on hotel plazsas, over. she cared for him?

Usually the polite children have a much bet- ter time, for they are always prime favorites with young and old alike and all the world seems to go out of the way to do them favors. It is father a fad nowadays to teach little girls to curtsey when greeted by their elders, but as the child ap- proaches her twelfth year she ceases to do this and greets adults as her brother does, by shaking hands or by saying “How do you do?” in exactly the same way that she will continue to do as long as she lives, _ * he —_— . — The Trip to Sunbeam Lake. T was moonlight on Sunbeam Lake. Under the black shadow of a huge maple Pop had parked his car. ‘Just this sort of thing is what I am dying to have a car for,” declared Mrs. Green. “When I heard that the village band was going to give a moonlight concert from boats on the lake I was 80 anxious to come. 80 near the city, too! And yet how could I have got here except by car?” Don't the boats look picturesque, all tighted up?” cooed Ma. “The music will sound lovely over the wa- ter, won't it? Open the box of car- amels, Milton, and pass them back.” Opening strains from the Lucia“ sextet floated to their ears—a bit ex- ploratory as to key, but not distress- ing. As they progressed the village band, drifting in three rowboats, gained in determination and volume of tone. ng n the An Easy Way to Get Rid of Ugly Pimples Bathe your face for several min- utes with resinol soap and hot water, then apply a little resinol ointment very gently.

After a while it stiffened from a mere breeze into a wind. Whitecaps foamed on the crests of sharp little waves. The boats began to wobble. The band was just then in the throes of the “William Tell” overture. The suden motion did things to the artists. The cornetist foolishly teck 8 breath and missed connections with his mouthpiece.

Oh, look how patriotic they are—they’re standing up in the boats te play it!” “They better not be so pa- triotic!” remarked Pop, darkly. Just then there was @ series of piercing shrieks.

W's ROSE was a pretty Indian girl whose home was among a tribe that reamed our pra- Tries hundreds of years before white men came to this country. She was the daughter of Bear, a mighty chief, and her clothing was of soft skins trimmed with beads, while in her dark braids were bright threads and shining shells. All the young men in the tribe sought to win the fair maid, but she took no notice of their speech. For her heart was with Silver Deer, a tall lad of another tribe that lived miles away in the mountains. But her fa- Deer's tribe, and the parents of the pair would not hear of the two being married. ne moonlight night Wild Rese sat before her tent watching the grass of the great prairie waving as the wind swept over ite feathery tops Suddenly Silver Deer stood before her, tall as a mountain and clad in gorgeous clothing of feathers and skins. 0 “Fly with me, Wild Rese,” he said. “We will go to my mountain home and live amid the trees whose tops kiss the clouds.” But hardly had he finished this speech when out of the deer of the tent sprang the girl's father, Bear. “Fly back to your mountains, Sil- ver Deer,” he thundered. “If you re- main my warriors will take you a prisoner, with a child of your father-~never— —never. You would steal my Wild Rose. Well, the day on which you can bring me a flower from your mountains more beautiful, than my prairie blooms, she can be yours.” And the father took the girl within the tent. ’ ILVER DEER started on his way S back thinking deeply. He knew that up in his mountain home grew no soft pink and blue blossoms like those decking the prairie grasa, and that this was only the way the chief took to get rid of him. When he was tired he laid down under- neath a bush, and as he tried to sleep it seemed to him he could hear a curious sound sound as if of wind singing over the fields. Then presently he could distinguish words, He did not know that his head was resting on some magic moss, which made him understand just what the winds and flowers talked about. But he found there rang in his ears the low, sweet music of strange voices, It was the South Wind talking to the prairie grass. “Chief Bear told Silver Deer that when he could bring from the moun- tains a flower as beautiful as those that deck the prairie the girl could marry him,” said the wind. “Well, that is impossible, laughed the grass. “There are no flowers as lovely as mine in the woods.” “You are much mistaken about No child of mine shall mate. ther was constantly fighting Silver , ify i 1 Mi walked rap- i peake al. was set out. in oun, and almost fainting from food, he walked all Hine the peak. up, he stumbie@ watching the sun as it sank lower ané hundreé foet bet he on tit could last saw the covered with so high that 1 + i 3 : “I have brought you from the moun- tains a bloom more beautiful than any dewn here,” he gasped. “Tt ts as if it were a rod of gold with a golden plume.

L.— Tour question has been Sanswered more than once in the Post-Dispatch. Taber’s mile record was made under handicap-pace con- ditions. According to accounts re- ceived here men were started from marks as distant as 350 yards from the start, in order that pace would be supplied for the Oxford student. One account said that Taher would have been beaten by the, limit man, had he crossed the line. Instead, he turned out five yards from the finish. It was under practically these condi- tions that Maxey Long’s 44-yard straightaway record was established at Guttenburg race track in 1900. Long was then a student at Columbia Uni- versity and was a member of the New York A. C. Long. on that occasion, was aided by teammates in a special handicap, in an endeavor to lower Wen- dell Baker’s record of 47% seconds. — Why Not This Record? O * of 'the pecullar features attack on records by J. E. Mere- dith is that he has been picking on the straightaway 440-yard event, when he still has the circular track mark, also made by Long, to surpass. This is 47 4-5 seconds and was also made on the then fast Guttenburg course. Meredith is a great runner, but his best time on a circular track was 48 seconds. That'll hold em all, nowadays, for a long, long time. Stellwagen Will Play C. Lockhorn in Valley Final Minneapolis Youth Wins Great Match From Jack Cannon in Semi-Finals.

I’m ready to fight any heavyweight in the country, from Willard down, and I’m not picking my opponents. The better they are the better I'll like it. I weigh 200 pounds, am in good health and condition, and don’t need to worry over the result of any fight I get into, “I prefer Willard, of course, but 1 suppose he’s making a lot of money and won't think of fighting anyone for a while. I’m glad he’s making it. The fellow who whipped Johnson deserves all he gets. I'd like to be the fellow who did it, but that doesn't make me jealous of Willard. I hope he'll have all the luck in the world—until he fights me. Then I'll be pulling for little old Frank Moran. “IT saw Johnson in London when he came back from Cuba, and asked him what he thought of Willard. I told him I hoped to get a match with * myself. Johnson turned to me and said Hoy, if you ever get him into a ring you'll beat him, That’s all !f have to gay.’ RANK MORAN has come back to New York after a year spent in England and France.

Jess had all the time he wanted to wear Johnson down, and it was only a matter of going along until Johnson was ready to collapse. I had only W rounds. I had to hurry. In the last three or four rounds Johnson was too weak to fight, but he was able to stand me off with his extended left arm, and to block and clinch when I got past it. I was cut and bleeding, but fresh and strong as at the start. What I lacked was time. “Five rounds more would dave been enough, and I'd have been cham- pion of the world. Johnson trained a year for my fight and at the last moment he refused to fight unless I would frame it and agree to lie down.

SNYDER CLIMBS’ ‘HIGH Recruit of Last Year Now a Fin- ished Catcher and Second Best Hitter in League. By W. J. O’Connor. In the process of retrogression, through which the Cardinals now are passing rather dismally, one is forced to see at least three bright features, to wit: Frank Snyder, Tommy Long and Bruno Betzel. Snyder isn't what one would call a first-year man, although he's blos- soming forth thig season for the firat time in the full bloom of a regular. Long is a debutante. Betzel is squabarino, And these three men easily are the most promising young players snared by any National eague club this season. Without considering the pitchers, of whom there are many new stars, one finds in the accepted list of res- ulars for the parent body this cam- paign few names that weren't there a year axa. Philadelphia has Bancroft; Fitis- burg has Baird and Hinchman, whe is ancient; Cincinnati boasts of Men- wits and Wade Killifer, while Me- Graw is showing Robertson, who al- most was a regular last season. These at least are the most striking impor- tations from the minor league ranks of 1914, ° 7 Cardinal Stars Brightest. Just now the Cardinal trio—Snyder, Betzel and Long—stand out as the brightest trinity of recruits in the league. Long is hitting .298. He has compiled 15 three-baggers, topping the league in three-ply knocks. His fielding is improving daily, and Tom- my, in fact, is the one ‘pright spot in the crestfallen Cards. Snyder, of course, was with us last vear. But he's now the second best batter in the National League and the veer Of em all as a thrower. He's a $25,000 asset * dax the market is open for bid Betzel is a find. This bird has barrels ol sand, a great pair cf hands and the stance of a hitter at the plate. He's as good as any man in the league today in — a hard-hit tall. He never breaks ground, come they ever so fast. However. Betzel was originally intend- ed for second base—to supplant Miller Kiuggins, who is through as a regular. But Zinn Beck backed eway from the race he attained last fall and early this spring, so it was squarely up to Huggins to retain Betzel on third. hat causes the shift of Miller, a great first- baseman, to second, with Hyatt, a won- derful hitter. on first. That this ar- rangement doesn’t make for the success o: the club is proved by the team’s i ib 0 i present standing. Last place isn't far | away. | Britton Must Loosen Up. But if Huggins can cynamite a few iron men loose from the Cardinal strong box and go into the minor leagues to they have proved themselves capable judges—he should in ame build a win- ner from youthful material. More - ers of the Long and Betzel stripe 11 eventually yield a pennant—if they're properly handled. Speaking of recruits. it ts pertinent to remember that a player who has the biggest prop under the Pirate Harry Hinchman, secured last fall from Columbus, which almost is a Pittsburg farm, carries a pennant punch. He's to the Pirates what the ancient —— is to the Phils. Hinchman has passed a batting average of .28 to ia, with 22 doubles and 10 triples. A man of that stripe always is a factor in a ball me. You've got to pitch to those sort of hitters. Douglass Baird, the St. Charles boy, ia making a great record for Clarke.

St. Louis Chicago .... 89% @'2 Wheat was weak and 2c lower in the local market today, on selling influenced by favorable domestic crop reports. The influence of can- cellation of foreign contracts report- ed yesterday, also aided the sellers. Broomhali's Liverpool cable said. “The market was easy at the imme- diate opening ag influenced by the lower American cables, but later sup- port was in evidence, prices ad- vanced sharpl with the undertone at the close firm. Spot market was steady, unchanged. Cargoes were steady, winters early were 3d lower, but later advanced and sold at 3d advance from yesterday. Manitobas were unchanged to 3d higher, Plates unchanged and Indians 3d to 6d ad- vance. Corn was easier in under- tone, with freer Plate offers and parcel market 1%d to 3d lower.” Corn and oats were easier on fa- vorable weather reports. Spot wheat was unchanged; corn unchanged to %c lower; oats un- changed. Broomhall cabled: “There is no apprehension here of an appreciable cancellation of recent winter wheat purchases. The general demand is apparent, but the trade is waiting and purchasing conservatively.” Minneapolis stocks of wheat de- creased 75,000 bu for one day.
