Two Forts North of Novo- georgievsk Also Are Cap- tured With 125 Heavy Pieces of Artillery. By Associated Press. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 19.—A further advance on the part of the Ger- man army which is attempting to cap- ture the important Russian fortress of Brest-Litovsk, was announced here of- ficially today. The statement says that. outer positions of the fortress near Ro- kitno, before Brest-Litovsk, were pene- trated. Announcement also was made of the capture of two forts north of Novo- georgievsk, which has been invested by the Germans for several days. In tak- ing these forts, 1000 prisoners and 125 cannon were captured. North of Bielsk, German troops have reached the railway from Bialystok to Brest-Litovsk, it is declared. (Brest-Litovsk is Russia’s greatest mil- itary station and a center of much im- portance. It is strongly fortified. The population is more than 50,000. Grand Duke Nicholas maintained his head- quarters there early in the war.)

ST, Louis T0 10 BE PUT “ON THE MAP” IN ZIEGFELD’S FOLLIES Producer Promises to Have Curtain Revised at Request of Post- master Seiph. NEW. YORK, Aug. 19.—Through the efforts of Colin M. Selph, Postmaster of St. Louis, a map of the United States used as a background in one of the scenes of “‘Ziegfeld’s Follies,’’ now showing at the Amsterdam Theater, will be revised so as to show St. Louis. The scene is a background of the “Hello, Frisco” song and it depicts the achievement of transcontinental long distance telephone service. The ‘“cen- tral’’ in each city is the head of a pret- ty girl. Postmaster Selph attended last night's performance and noticed that St. Louis was not represented. He hunted up ‘GALVESTON, Tex.,.

Galveston, though suffer- ing a proportionately small percentage of fatalities, has sustained the heaviest property losses. The damage on this coast, where the water swept inland in places a distance of at least 20 miles over the low main- land and where, in a great arc running 100 miles inland, the hurricane rolled houses over like tops, deposited vessels tn farm fields and drowned large num- bers of valuable animals, will reach many millions of dollars.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—That the to- mato is a fruit, not a vegetable, was decided in Special Sessions, Brooklyn, yesterday. Mrs. Schochter, a grocer, has been arrested for having sold vege- tables on Sunday, June 13. “IT saw her sell tomatoes,” trolman Grow. “Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?” demanded the grocer’s counsel. “It’s a vegetable,’’ replied Grow. Justices: Herbert, McInenéry and Moss consulted dictionaries and concluded that the tomato was a fruit. So they dismissed the case. “Anything that can be eaten raw is a fruit,’’ said Justice Herbert. “How about an onion?” asked As- sistant District Attorney Edward Cooper. The Court treated the question with silent oneennt. BUSH TO QUALIFY AS MO, PAC, AND |. M.

He is being pursued.” BRITISH LAND ANOTHER FORCE AT DARDANELLES LCNDON, Aug. 19.—Additiona] troops have been landed by the Brit- ish at Suvia Bay, Gallipoli peninsula. This announcement wae made by the War Office this afternoon. The War Office admits that after 24 hours of, heavy fighting, in which ‘no satisfactory progress was made, the British advance was halted. Los- ges on both sides were very large. The text of the statement follows: ‘The recent operations on the Gal- lipoli peninsula consisted of attacks on the enemy's positions along the south- ern and Anzac lines and included the fresh landing of a strong force at Suvia Bay. “There is evidence from prisoners’ statements that the Turks had been considerably reinforced with a view to heavy attacks on us and that our move- ments forestailed the enemy's by about 2% hours. Consequently the fighting was very severe and on both sides the casusities were very high. “The landing at Suvia Bay was well planned and carried out by the navy, but in spite of the fact that the Turks eveloped their greatest strength in the region our troops from Suvla j could not make very satisfactory prog- ederals Since June, 1914. Armando Marsans, may play bageball with the St. Louis Federal League team or any other team for the rest of the 1915 season and next season, under a ruling delivered by Judge Dyer this morning in the United States .Court. Judge Dyer modified the injunction granted by Judge Sanbori, June 25, 1914, which has kept Marsans from playing ball ever since, though he has traveled about with the St. Louis Feds and has derived his living from the club’s treas- ury. Marsans, who was uni-r contract with the Cincinnati team of the National League, broke that centract to play with the Federals, a riva) organization, Cuban outfielder, | early in the 1914 season, but he played hardly more than a dozen games before his former employers swooped down on him with th2 Sanborn injunction and sent him to the bench where he has since ge a remain. for an Appeal. After che ye Bs = was handed down, attorneys for the Cincinnati club asked Judge Dyer to permit them to file an appeal, and asked him to name the sum which he would require for an. appeal bond. Judge Dyer told them he was not certain they had a right to’an ap- peal, but that he would hear argu- ments on that point tomorrow. Without waiting for the outcome of the attempt to appeal from Judge Dyer’s decision, Marsans departed on an after- noon train for Brooklyn, to join the St. Louis Federal League team. P. D. C. Ball, one of the owners of the St. Louis team, this afternoon said that if Judge Dyer’s. decision stands the St. Louis Federals will file a suit against the Cincinnati club to recover the sal- ary paid to Marsans — he was on the bench. @n his decision, Judge Dyer says: “Briefly stated, the three grounds for the motion to dissolve or modify the preliminary injunction, are: 1. That the plaintiff has failed to fulfill its part of the contract as re- quiréd by the preliminary injunc- tion. 2. That the contract does not pur- port to bind the defendant to render services to the complainant after Oct. 14, 1914, and that the injunction was improvidently granted, so far as it. affects defendant’s services after that date. 3. That the contract is invalid for want of mutuality. Judge Dyer did not consider the first and third of these grounds in rendering his decision. He’ said they might be considered on the final hearing and de- termination of the case. The decision was based solely on Mer- sans’ contention that his contract did not bind him to play for the Cincinnati club after October, 1914. use No. 1, Taking up s contract with the Cincinnati club. the court found that clause No. 1 of the contract bound the club to pay Marsans $4400 for all serv- ices he was to perform under the con- tract. Of this sum $3300 was for sal- ary and $1100 was in consideration of the option reserved to the club in clause 10 of the contract to make a new con- tract with Marsans for the following season. The first paragraph of clause 1 concludes with the words: ‘Making the total compensation for the eB fherein contracted for 94400,” ~ Judge Dyer pointed out that clause $ of: the contract specifically stated that Marsans employment was to be for the season beginning April 4, 1914 and end- ing April 14, 1914, and he ruled that this was the period for which the $4400 was paid to Marsans. He also ruled that while the first clause of the contract might be considered as binding the Cincinnati club to employ ; Marsans in 1915 and 1916, it did not bind Marsans to play for the club in those years un- less a new contract was made. The decision says that efforts of the Cincinnati club to show that the intent was to hire Marsans for three seasons were unsuccessful. One of the club's contentions was that the words ‘“‘1914, 1915 and 1916’’ were not written into the original contract because there was not room for them. The Judge said ex-' amination of the contract convinced him that there was ample room to write in these dates. Cites Uniforms Clause. As to another phase of the contract the decision says: Clause 5 required the club to farnish the player with two com- plete aniforms which the player is re- quired to return upon the termination of the contract or forfeit a deposit of $30. It is hardly reasonable to suppose the parties intended that. the player | should be furnished with only two uni- forms during three years services, and yet that is what clause 5 means if the plaintiff's contention is correct.’’ Judge Dyer said it did not appear that Judge Sanborn, when handing down the preliminary injunction, had under consideration clause 8 of the contract which on its face showed that Marsans'was hired only for the season of 1914. The court. held that it was proper to restrain Marsans from playing with any except the Cincinnati club in 1914, this injunction could not be extended to cover the years 1915 and 1916 and that therefore Marsans must now be considered free to play where he pleases. Three Points Raised. Marsans’ motion for a modification of the injunction, which was heard recent- ly by Judge Dyer, contained three prin- cipal assertions. He charged (1) that the Cincinnati club did not comply with its contract with him; (2) that the con- tract with Cincinnati! was not binding after Oct. 4 last; and (3) that the con- tract lacked the quality of being mu- tual, hence was nat binding. Judge Dyer considered only the second point. Marsans testified, beforé Judge Dyer, that he had received no salary from the Federal League club, ¢t that he uad received “loans” of $333. the first and recited of each month, or $666.78 a month. Biow at Reserve Clause. The decision is based solely on the contention that Marsans’ contract, as drawn up by the Cincinnati club bound him to play for that club be- yond the termination of the contract in October 1914. This is the famous “reserve clause” under which a play- er, while nominally hired for one sea- son gives the club the privilege of retaining his services for the two succeeding seasons. In this instance Marsans received $1100 from the club for an “option” on his services for 1915 and 1916, x Thompson at Queenstown Cables That Vessel Went Dow’: in Eleven Minutes. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—At 3 p. m. today a dispatch was received by the State Department from Consul Thomp- son at Queenstown saying: “Arabic sunk at 9:30 this morning 50 iniles from Queenstown. Sunk in 1i minutes. Eleven boats being brought here.”’ . DYNAMITE ONCE FOUND ON ARABIC Ship Had Narrow Escape .When She Was Chased by Sub- marine Last March. The Arabic’s tonnage was 15,801 gross and 10,062 net. She was 600 feet long, 65 feet beam and 47 feet in depth. She was built in Belfast in 1903 by Harland & Wolff. On her last Eastern trip, the Arabic arrived in Liverpool Aug. 6, from New York. Following the receipt of a cable- gram announcing her safe arrival the bureau of combustibles of New York City allowed the fact to become known that two sticks of dynamite had been discovered on board the liner July 27, the night before she sailed from New York. Once before since the beginning of the war, the Arabic had a close call. A cable’ message from London, March 77, said the steamer had been pursued by a German submarine in the Irish Sea on the voyage which ended on that day. On her recent trips the Arabic has carried far fewer passengers than on normal voyages in times of peace. There were 105 passengers in*the cabin, of whom five were Americans, and % in the steerage on the last voyage to Liv- erpool. The Arabic has been utilised to carry great quantities of war munitions purchased in the United States for Great Britain. Carried Munitions From WU. §. The Arabic, one of the few large White Star vessels remaining in the transatlantic servicc, sailed on her last utward voyage from New York July last. She had aboard 188 passengers and approximately 16,000 tons of cargc, almost all war supplies, mainly aerv- planes and automobiles. Attack by a German submarine ap- parently was feared when the vessel left New York, for around her steering gear there were piled numerous sani bags as a protection against gunfire. This also was taken as an indication that in. case ehe were sighted by a U- boat the big liner intendéd to take a chance at getting away. trusting to her speed. The crew usually comprised about 0) men. All the crew were of foreign citizenship. Capt. Will Finch command- ed the ship.

M.)—The British steamer Mag- nolia reports by wireless that the steamship Dunsley also was tor- pedoed, but at the time the message was sent was still afloat and was picking up survivors. LONDON, Aug. 19 (5:00 p. m.).—The White Star line Arabic, which sailed yesterday from Liverpool for New York, has been sent to the bottom off Fastnet, on the south coast of Ireland, not far from the point at which the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine. Such reports as were available in London early this evening left in doubt the fate of the 423 passengers on board the big liner. The first reports were that all of the passengers and erew had been rescued by another steamer. Subsequently, how- ever, it was reported that the Arabic had gone down in 11 min- utes, raising the question whether it would have been possible: te rescue all on board in that brief time. | A message to the White Star Company left this question open. It said that fifteen or sixteen boat loads were making for Queens. town, and from this the company inferred that the greater part of the passengers and crew were saved. ‘ A message received by the White Star line this aStbeniatts says ‘‘The Arabic was sunk this morning. Fifteen or 16 boat loads are making for Queengtown.’’ The torpedo struck the Arabic at 9:15 o’clock this morning. Fastnet is a small island four miles southwest of Cape Clear, Ireland. The White Star Co. announced that the Arabic had on board 132 second cabin passengers, 48 in the steerage and 243 men if the crew, making a total of 423 3 persons on board.

HIDE.TRUTHS WAR, GERMANY'S ANCELLOR SAYS Charges in Reichstag That Many Things Are Withheld From People and Other Nations. REVIEWS RECENT EVENTS “Germany Faces the Future Proudly and Without Fear,” He Declares. By Associated Press. BERLIN (by Wireless to Sayville, N. Y.), Aug. 19.—Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg, the German Imperial Chan- cellor, in a speech today at the open- ing of the Reichstag, after a recess since May 380, traced the history of the European events leading up to B present war. ., He unveiled what he said were at- tempts made by the enemies of Ger- many to conceal the whole truth from the nations at large and from their own people. This, he said, was proved by the incompleteness of the fformation given by the diplomatic of *entente allied countries to their Regio rgganay and he said it howed that up to the present the complete truth was hidden and for- bidden in the entente allied coun- tries. The Chancellor added: “"T never have concealed anything from the representatives of the Ger- Man nation. I never had anything to éonceal.” “Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg further @is¢ussed Poland’s future and an- nounced that the previous German and Polish antagonism had been abolished. He said: , “The present occupation of Poland is the beginning of an evolution which will lead the country, freed from the Russian yoke, towards a brighter fu- ture and enable it to develop and cul- tivate its individual and national char- acter.’’ "““ Reviews Military Situaticn. Beginning his speech with a review of the present military situation, the Chancellor continued: _., ince you assembled at the last ses- sion great things have happened. Agaii French attempts to shatter our west front have failed in spite of the con- tempt for death and the reckless waste, of human lives of the French. “Italy, our new enemy, who thought that she could easily take her neigh- beria coveted goods, has been splen- didly, repulsed in spite of a numerical superiority and has made an immense Sacrifice in human lives. “Unshaken and unshakable the.

Monday. ‘The storm, which had been pre- dicted for several days, broke over the eity at 6 o’clock Monday after- noon. The wind, it was estimated, had then attained a velocity of about 60 miles an hour. This was the wind from the north, and it continued to blow the water in from the bay, flooding the streets and cellars.

At no time, however, say those who spent the night in the Hotel Galvez, did the sea clear the wall, The break- ers thundered against it, sending the spray high ‘in the air, and the waves broke over the wall with ter- rific force. So great was this force, in fact, that the two granite monu- ments which were placed at the foot of Tremont street to commemorate the storm of 1900, were blown across this boulevard—a distance of more than 560 feet. Partial Destruction of Causeway. One of the greatest losses to Galves- ton is the partial destruction of the causeway. This great concrete bridge— the one connecting link between the island and the mainiand—was completed barely two years ago. Both approaches, approximately 3000 feet, are gone. The east end of the causeway is said to have been torn away by one of the dredges which is believed to have sunk subsequently out in the channel. The other was battered down by a giant oil tank which floated away from the Pierce-Fordyce refinery, near Texas City. There were six of these tanks valued at from $8000 to $10,000 each and holding approximately 55,000 barrels of oil, which were lost, and but for this oil, which tended to allay the height of the waves, it is believed, the loss in Texas City would have been even greater. The greatest loss of life known to have been suffered at any one place is said to have occurred at Virginia Point, at the. western end of the causeway. It was at this place that the last inter- urban car out of Galveston was stalled at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. It had aBout 50 persons aboard and when it ap- peared the car could get no farther, the people made their way to the Virginia Hotel. The water continued to rise ebout this structure until 2:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, when it collapsed. Of the 75 persons said to have been in the hotel at the time, not more than 2% were able to make their way across the swirl of water to a railroad tower on higher ground, They spent the night there and most of them made their way tack to Lamarque Wednesday. J. W. Gross, who was severly in- jured in the destruction of the hotel, but succeeded in reaching the ralil- road tower, would .10« say that the 50 unaccounted for “ere lost, but said there was no other place where they could have foun! safety. Saved by Bale of Cotton. A report at Galveston, Wednesda:’ told of one man who floated from some point up the bay to Point Bolt- var on a bale of cotton. He was unconscious and taken t.» Sealey Hos- pital and it was sugge'ted he might have been ono of those caught in thi: destruction of the Virginia Point hotel. In point of size, Tetas City suf- fered more from the terrible storm than Galveston. This may have bean due to the fact that theré were fewer substantial buildings and to the fur- ther fact that less apprehension was felt. The first part of Texas City to be inundated was the soldiers’ camp, just above the city. This tract of land, which had been so carefully drained and on-which the United States had spent so many thousands of dollars, is now leveled and vre- verted to a swamp. Soldiers Use Gumu as Fire Alarms. Barly Wednesday morning residents were startled into wakefulness’ by the soldiers firing their guns. Their pur- pose was to give warning of renewed fires. At 10:30 o'clock, when the Asso. ciated Press man left the city, flames had attacked the buildings of the Pabst Realty Co. on Mechanic street between Tremont and Twenty-fourth streets where the fire. originated; J. 8. Seishei- mer Co,, four. stories high; Blum No-, TE 3 a : , - i age ASP oor ener atl nn ar eee ihe wats each has Ia, tion Co., three stories hign, and Reid & | Murdock, all near the wharf, and the Swift and Armour packing plants, across the alley. The estimated losses were: Packisg plants, $75,000 each; Blum Notion Co, $50,000; J. S&S. Seisheimer & Co., $40,000; Pabst Realty Co., $40,000, and the Di- rect Navigation Co. $20,000. Ten large steamers, it is estimated, were torn from their moorings and were blown over Galveston Bay. Ships Blown § Miles Inland. Seven of them are aground. The ‘Inames were not learned. All were left in water not more than four or five feet deep and some were blown from three to eight miles inland by the force of the hurricane and water. The statement from the citizens of Galveston received here in a telegram to the Associated Press late last night was one of optimism in spite of the hur- ricane through which the city had ‘“‘suc- cessfully paassed,’’ to quote from the statement. “The city, due to the adamantine re- sistance of the sea wall, has sustained comparatively small loss in destruction of property and but six deaths havo been thus far reported,’ the telegram said. Barlier reports stated that Mayor Fisher had declined to issue a call for outside aid, saying that the city was able to handle the situation and that all needy persons would be cared for. There is no train service out or into the city and telegraph and telephone fa- cilities, destroyed early Monday night, still were out of commission with pros- pects of their restoration within the next 24 hours very doubtful. The only means of transportation there is by boat. The loss of life in Texas City was largely caused by the collapse of the Thompson building. in which 250 persons had’taken refuge. The majority of them had left before the accident. Gen. Bell’ ’ precaution prevented great loss of life at the army camp. Heavy Damage at Honston, The damage at Houston will run into far more money than was at first ex- pected. It is admitted that scarcely % per cent of the business houses or resi- dences escaped damage. Much of this is trivial, but in case of the downtown éGepartment stores, whose show windows were blown in and whose stocks of goods were damaged by the torrential, rain, it will run into the thousands at least. The barometer reading at Houston was lower than at Galveston. where the minimum was but 28.40, against 28.21 tn Houston. The wind at Houston is va- riously estimated at from 90 to 100 miles an hour, and persons who spent Mon- day night in the downtown hotels say even those modern substantial buildings shook before the force of the storm. ‘The orchestra in the Hotel Galvez in Galveston played during the heights of the storm to keep up the spirits of the people marooned there,’ said John FE. Green, United States District Attorney, who was marooned in the hotel during the entire storm. “*‘We reached the hotel Monday after- noon at 3 o’clock,’’ continued Greer. “‘At 5 o’clock the water commenced spray- ing over the sea wall. The work of bringing women and children to places of safety was then undertaken. They were carried to the courthouse, the F eu- eral building, the big office bulldings and large, substantial residences. Large numbers were brought to the Hotel Gal- vez. “Tuesday morning a bread line was es- tablished in the hotel and we all passe‘ through the kitchen for free bread and coffee, As the water was scarce and had to be economized, we all washed in the rain water. “The water soon began to recede and now is all out of the city.” }Storm Persists Over Northeastern Texas, Says Weather Bureau.

Its rorthward move- ment has been effectually retarded by the cool, high area to the northeast ward and it nuw apparently has a very sicw east-northeast movement. There were no high winds during the last 2. hours in the vicinity of the storm, but heavy rainfall continued and ex- tended into Arkansas arl West Tennes- see.

It is the same in the south. where Gen. von Mackensen, after many rebuffs, finally has succeeded in driv- ing the Muscovites into their outer posi- tions in. the fortress of. Brest-Litovsk. Grand Duke Nicholas, in the opinion of military observers, finds part of his army in serious danger of envelopment. ‘he military writers express curiosity as to how he will extricate it. The Russian commander continues an or- deriy retreat, es is evidenced by the fact that outsid« of the 400 guns taken with the fortress of Kovno or captured in the forts of Novogeorgievsk, two more of which have fallen, the Ger- raars make no claim to the capture of artillery. It would appear also that few prisoners have been taken, which }doubtless means that a_ considerable part of the Austro-Germans in their most recent aavance have not met with gortcus fighting. With Kovno in German hands and an- cther German army across the Bug south of Brest-Litovsk, a speedy exit, accerding to military observers, ts the only safe one for the Russians if they are to escape before the second ‘set of tincers prepared for them are closed. Kovno Victory Regarded in Berlin as One of Most Complete of War. BERLIN, via «sondon, Aug. 19.—The fall of Kovno is hailed with joy by the entire German press. Berlin..newspa- pers devote columns to discussion of the military strength of the fortress and draw the conclusion from the general staff's report of the capture of more than 400 guns that the victory is one of the most complete of the war. The fall of the fortress on the Sth birthday of Emperor Francis-Joseph of Austria, was hailed as a splendid omen. The formal birthday celebration arranged in the monarch’s honor by Ausirians and Ger- mans was doubly enthusiastic because of the victory. A salute of 530 “victory” shots was fired at noon in the Lustgarten. All the church bells in the capital rang at: the same time. Emperor William sent telegrams of congratulations to Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Gens. von Eichhorn and Litsmann. Upon Colonel-General von BEichhorn the Emperor conferred the Order Pour le Merite, and upon Gen. Litsmann the Oak Leaves of Mer- it. French Take Junctions of High Roads on Artois Front, PARIS, Aug. 19.—The French War Of- fice this afternoon gave out a state- ment on the progress of hostilities, read- ing. “There was much activity lest night on the Artois front. An attack by our forces made us masters of the junc- tion of the high roads between Beth- une and Aras and between Ablain and Angres, where the German position con- stituted a salient into our advance line. Several counter attacks on the part of the enemy were repused. ‘Te the north of .Carleul, we were successful in repusing certain attacks made with hand grenade and bombs. These attacks were preceded by a bom- bardment of close range, and supported by infantry fire. “In the region of Berles and Adinfe in the Department of Pas de Calais, violent infantry firing was continued yesterday. There also was cannonad- ing between the Ois and the Aisne; in the sector of Bailly, as well as on the plateaus of Quennevieres and Nov- ron. 2 “In the Argonne our artillery put an end to the activities of the enemy bat- teries and bomb throwers in the vicin- ity of Fontaine-aux-Charmes as well as in the region of Martetherese. “In the Vosges, there was yesterday a violent and continued engagement on the summit of Mount Linge.

These Yet the natural expectation must ve now that the Russians will eventually have to go back from the Brest-Litovsk position and the German advance will cut still deeper into Russian territory. What seems probable is that* the Ger- man high command realized some days ago that their attempt to envelop the main Russian mass had failed and that they then began an alternative move- ment. If, as has been reported, there has been a large transfer of troops from Poland to Courland, this deflection would put a very large German army much nearer to Petrograd than the main Russian army, and the mere threat of an attack upon the Russian capital would compel the Russians to attempt a similar regrouping of their forces with Minsk instead of Brest-Litovsk as a center and Dunaburg instead of Kovno as a northern pivot. With the fall of Kovno the whole sys- tem of Russian permanent defenses in their western frontier falls. Warsaw has been abandoned. Novo Georgievsk has been defended, as the French de- fended Maubeuge a year ago in their great retreat, simply to hamper Ger- man transport, which depends upon the Vistula. Maubeuge cost the French 4,- 000 in killed, wounded and prisoners, but it may have saved Paris, and certainly held up the German transport with dis- astrous consequences. Ultimately Novo Georgeivsk will probably cost the Rus- sians more men than Maubeuge did their allies, but this is a cost calculated in advance. Russians Escaped From Net. What seems to be the meaning of re- cent events in the east is that the Rus- sians have been able te make one more successful retreat, that they have won clear of the enveloring net of Hinden- burg and Mackensen and are retiring '!n good order upon Brest-Litovsk, losing few prisoners and next to no equipment. But their successful retreat has already led their German foe to resort to a new movement, this time designed not to envelop and capture, but to compel that abandonment of the line on which Russian high command had decided to stand. It is not yet clear, and will not he for some days, whether Germany means to continue her great eastern offense and still press for a decision whicn might eliminate Russia from the war, or whether she is simply seeking to make the most of rece successes by taking a position well within Russian territory, and while defending this, send- By FRANK H.

With the fall of Warsaw Germany obtained possession of the line of the Vistula, with the Rugsian fortresses. Here is an admirable defensive line, if Germany had chosen to halt. But an equally good line is supplied by the Niemen, the Bug and the Pins marshes, which would give the Germans control of all Poland. Possibly it is for this line Germany is now playing. rmany Working for ion. Yet even the advant incident to the possession of these défensive lines would not and could not satisfy Ger- many. She must dispose of Russia or expect eventual defeat. Thus there re- mains the greater likelihood that Ger- man high command is still bending its energies to obtain a decision and plan- ning a further drive into Russian ter- ritory. We do not know the condition of the Russian armies. German reports war- rant the belief that their morale re- mains good. Manchuria was an admir- able example of the Russian capacity to fight, retreat and fight again. But i* is axiomatic that precisely as long as there is a remote chance for a decision \n the East, Germany will work for it. A gigantic turning movement, com- pelling rapid Russian retreat through difficult territory may bring the demor- alization of Russian forces. The cut- ting of the Petrograd-Bielostok railway will deprive the Russian army of its chief, but by no means its only line of communications. A thrust at Petrograd, with the main Russian forces separaied from the capital by a wedge driven from Kovno at Vilna and Minsk, must be considered. A raid into discontented Finland would contribute much to em- barrass Russia just now. Campaign Entering Third Phase. If Germany is looking for peace she may have decided that it is Impractica- ble to demand Belgium or any part of French territory, and may hope to find her ‘‘compensation”’ at the expense of Russia. Certainly there are political as well as military considerations dis- coverable in her eastern campaign. But the exact purpose may well be dis- guised for many. days yet. In, any event it is safe to say the eastern campaign is entering its third phase. The first was the clearing of Galicia. The second was the conquest of Poland. In both the Russian army was the main objective and escaped. It is necessary now to wait for some sign to prove whether the Kaliser’s strategists are determined to go on against the Czar or to turn west or south toward Calias or Constantinople. RUMANIA CAN'T GET MUNITIONS IF SHE I$ GOING TO FIGHT ALLIES American Makers Tied Up So That They Cannot Supply Enemies of French and British. NEW YORK, Aug. 15—The Govern- ment of Rumania, which entere@ the American munitions mariet recently for an amount reported at $30,000,000, has been unable to fill all its requirements. Shrapnel and other caving have been available enough; the trouble is that pewder and the higher explosives can- not be secured in sufficient quantities without guarantee on ihe part of the Rumanian agents that their country will not use the explosives against the al- lies. : One company from which Rumania has endeavored to sevure explosives holds the order on its books until Ru- mania makes either a declaration of faith or a declaration of war. This company is understood to be actuated by pro-British affiliations. Other com- panies have held off because of their relations with the French Government. Most of the powder ccmpanies, par- ticularly those which were not well equipped at the outbreak of the war, have found France their best customer. It is known that many cf the contracts with France have con‘ained a clause rroviding that, Americans selling mu- nitions to France sha!) sell no muni- tions to an enemy of France.

Policemen stopped an automobdile at Fourteenth and Olive streets about 3 o'clock this morning. Three girls in the back seat were singing, while their two male companions kept time with hilarious whoops. The chauffeur thanked the policemen for stop#ing the car. He said he felt relieved. One of the men jumped out when the patrolmen approached and dis- appeared. The chauffeur said the party had en- gaged him at Grand avenue and Olive street and had him driving up one street and down another. At Central Police Station the giris registered as Hazel Bates of 3308 South Jefferson avenue, Dorothy Taylor of 1438 Taylor avenue, and Bianche Nagel of $224 Lucas avenue. Hach said she was 19 years old. Their companion said he was Joseph Cody, a salesman, ™& years old, of 447 Delmar boulevard. He col- lapsed while being placed in a cell, and was later sent to the tnebriate ward. When Cody fell Hazel Bates declare! he had been knocked down by a police- man, and seizing the movable telephone on the turnkey’s desk, huried it at the head of Patrolman Doyle. The latter dodged the missile and it struck the Nagei girl on the back. She thought Doyle bad hit her end she at- facked him with her hatpin. While Doy.e and the Nagel girl were roughing it, the Taylor girl anatched a bottle of ink from the degk and sprink- led ‘ts contents over the face of Turn- key George Shaw.

NEW Y¥vURK, Aug. 19.—Foreign ex- change markets were virtually at 4 standstill today, marking time while negotiations continued for the flotation of a big foreign loan nere to pay a part of Europe's bill to America for muni- tions of war and other supplies. Nominally sterling was a fraction of a cent higher than yesterday, reaching 4.67% during the first hour. Actually there was virtually no dealings. So stagnant was the market that at many large banking houses it was impossible to obtain quotations on francs and other continental exchange. Within a few days it is expected that an announcement will be made telling of the financing here of a loan to Great Britain of from $100,000,000 to $150,000,- 000. Careful inquiry by banking houses here, it is understood, has resulted in the disclosure that,it would be unwise to attempt to float a larger loan at this time. One report today was that $250,000,000 In gold was coming to the United States. Conferences between New York and London bankers by cable were renewed today. RUSSIAN WOMAN SENTENCED TO DEATH IN AUSTRIA AS SPY She Predicted War Before It Began and Neceived Money From Un- known Sources. VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 19.—Sentence of death for espionage has been pro- nounced upon Miss Sinaida Bayer, «@ - Russian woman who has been living fn Reichenberg since May, 1914. Her two sisters, Elisabeth Bayer and Marie Po- lakow, accused of spying, have been re- leased for lack of evidence. The three women moved to Reichen- berg in May, and astonished those whom they met by dGeclaring that war was impending between Russia and Austria. They maintained themselves apparent! v by sewing and seamstress work. After their arrest, however, there were found a quantity of postal money order stubs which indicated they had received funds from other sources. With the beginning of the war the captured Russians were imprisoned in a camp at Rosenthal, not far from Reich- enberg, and the sisters aroused suspicion by secret communications with the cap- tive soldiers. One of them, from un- known motives, notified the Austrian officers, and the women's arrest fol- ‘lowed.

oT. LOUIS POST “DISPATCH —— ERMAN TRADE EXPERT'S REPORT TO CHANCELLOR How to Arouse Business Inter- ests Here Against Britain’s Embargo on Commerce. WITHHELD GERMAN GOODS Sis: Weck ‘Warld. Contaucs Series of Articles on German Propaganda Here. Ry Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The World, in its fourth article on pro-German activities of German-Americans and German agents in tflis country, prints an interésting report made June 30 by Herr Waetzoldt, trade represen- tative of the Imp¢rial German Gov- ernment in the United States to Chan- cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. Herr Waetzoldt' was sent to the Wnited States several months ago ‘to report on the trade relations of the Tnited States and Germany, fected by the British Orders in Coun- cil. In his report; he recommends that Germin exporters withhold shipments of articles, which American manufac- turing interests need, particularly Ayestuffs and certain chemicals. This, the report shows, was intended to arouse American business intefests against the British, who would na- turally be blamed for *he interrup- tion of trade, 4nd to create an Ameri- can demand for the revocation of the British Orders in Council. The World ~- presents no specific evidence as to how the German Gov- ernment acted on this suggestion. How to Inflyence America. “From a German standpoint,” Waet- vbldt wrote to the imperial Chancellor, “the pressure on the American Govern- ment can be strengthened by the inter- ruption of deliveries from Germany, even if the British Government should permit exceptions. Those shipments es- pecially should be interrupted which the American industries so badly require, especially chemicals and dyestuffs, also goods which are' used in the realm of the fine arts. “The withholding of goods is the sur- est means of occasioning the placing before the administration in Washing- ton of American interests. Those pro- tests have the most weight which come from the American industries which em- ploy many we~“ers. The complaint of one of the great American dye fac- tories, which declared that the» con- tinued withholding of dyestuffs would make necessary the dismissal of workmen, has done more than the pro- tests of the importers.” In the same report, Waetzoldt men- tions the cotton question, in its political bearings, as follows: ‘"'The principal and most tangible pres- sure on the Administration in Washing- ton will only begin to be felt when the cotton question again becomes acute. There is a particularly good crop in pros- pect, and if the exportation of cotton is interrupted and the price of cotton thereby influenced injuriously, the cot- ton states, viz; the Democratic South, will bring all possible pressure to bear on the Democratic administration to have, the Orders in Council revoked.” Arranged te Admit Goods, . The American State Department, the World says, made arrangements, ‘ through its .own experts, acting in con- junction with those of Great Britain, for the admission of certain products, in the nature of chemicals and dyestuffs, with the consent of the British Govern- ment. It was the invariable experience of the State Department, the World says, that Germany, while apparently work-: ing for the transportation of these es- sentials, was really trying to make .t appear that it could not get them through because of the British block- ade. The purpose of this pretense was, of course, to influence the American Government to resist the right of En- ‘giand to scrutinize any shipments from * Germany. It was the German hope, the World suggests, that this might re- sult in complications between this Gov- ernment and Great Britain that would eventually permit the safe transporta. tion of all German goods to the United States, or compel the abandonment of the blockade of North Sea ports by the British Government. Herr Waetzoldt tells of meetings of importers of goods from Germany and Austria, and says: ‘The last two meet- ings were unexpectedly well attended, and led to the sending of a commis- sion to Washington, which was _ re- ccived by Mr. Lansing of the State De- partment, and received firm promises, but no absolute assurance that the De- nt of State would guard the in- terests of the im ,orters.” He also tells of a petition sent to the President, signed by nearly all the large import- The World prints a document ad dressed to the German Ambassador ahd ment is declared to indicate the extent of the German Government's financial operaticns in this country.

It says that “a banker who has extensive knowledge of the expenditures for these purposes.” but whose name is not given, estimates that $2,000,000 a week of German Govern- ment money has found-its way into cir- culation in this country through the Ger- man secret service and the promotion of German war plans. The World today, discussing the possi- ble effect of its disclosures, prints this paragraph: \ “One of the interesting developments yesterday was that the legal ‘advisers of the German officials had given them an opinion that the disclosures made by the World did not invoive violations of the Federal laws. This is also the opin- fon of disinterested lawvers.”’ Former Attorney-General Wickersham, it was added, was one of these “disin- terested lawyers.’’ Wickersham was an advocate of radical methods of dealing with Germany in the Lusitania cass, and declared, when that matter first fntercourse with Germany summarily cut off. should be: Detroit Man Says “Dencker” Is At- tache of German Consulate. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 19. —Inquiry ‘has been made here as to the identity of “C. Dencker,”’ since the publication in the New York World, Monday, of a letter signed by Dencker, and addressed to the Imperial German. Embassy in Washington. his letter suggested the possibilit® of bringing about a strike in establishments in Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati, which manufacture war mu- nitions. C. W. McLane of Detroit; who wrote to Dencker volunteering {6 assist in bringing on such a strike, said that Dencker, was connected with the office of the Consul-General of the Imperial German Government in Chicago. McLane said he got no answer to his proposal. “Should you be interested in a plan for precipitating a general strike of al’ the automobile workers,’”’ wrote McLane to Dencker, “including the allied indus- tries in this city, the writer would he giad to consult with you at your office or through your accredited representa- tive here.’’ ‘ Dencker forwarded this letter to the German. Embassy at Washington, with an explanatory letter addressed +o “Dear Mr. Marlow,” in which he said: “My surety, who talked the opportunity over with the sender, is of the opinion that the last step in the situation will be to call into being a strike in the munitions factories of Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati in so far as the neces- sary financial means can be secured. According to our estimates, it could be done for about $50,000." McLane, when found by the World correspondent after a search of more than a week, made no attempt,to deny his relations with Dencker and recited with evident relish his theories regard- ing the Brotherhood of Man, which he: hoped to promote by an alliance be- tween strike leaders and the German Government. McLane said ahe mysterious “K"’ re. ferred to by Dencker and others in the corespondence, who had been believed to be another labor leader, was a se- cret agent of the German Government in Detroit.

The World said Heynen was credited d,ja cargo of arms and ammunition from A Hamburg liner Ypiranga at Puerto came under discussion; that diplomatic‘ ernment, by the seizure of Vera Cruz, Kad prevented an intended delivery there. The World mentioned a report that, for this service, Heynen had re- ceived 40,000 pesos from the Huerta gov- ernment. | Heynen says in his letter that he has wired to Gen. Huerta, now a prisoner at Fort Bliss, asking him to state to the World that no remuneration was paid to Heynen “for complying with my company’s obligation to deliver the car- go to its rightful owner,” and that tbe arms and ammunition in question were manufactured in the United States. He asks the World to publish Huerta’s message, when it shall be recefved. “ Lecturer Tells How He Got Austrian Films From Ambassador Dumba. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—James F. J. Archibald, writer and lecturer, has sent the New York Evening Post a state- ment regarding the arrangement by which he exhibited motion picture films furnished by the Austrian Government, the enterprise being financed by Dr. Heinnch F.

In his letter to the says. “The only ‘agreement’ was my request to Dr. Dumba (Austrian Ambassador) for the films, and I have always taken pains to inform the public of the facts. I can also truthfully say that not once has there peen the slightest suggestion as to influencing anything I have pre- sented in my lectures in any manner, put f simply found that there was an enormous umber of Americans who were anxious to hear the ‘other side of the story,’ and were willing to pay for Re ° Daniels Calle for Evidence That Navy Employe Is in German Pay. “ WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Secretary Dantels announced that he has asked John R. Rathom, publisher of the Prov- idenee (R. I.) Journal, to submit any evidence he may have to substantiate a published statement credited to hira that a’civil employe of the Navy De partment is in the pay of the German Government. . Secretary Daniels also revealed that, after a recent conference he had with Rathom, the department assigned addi- tional officérs and men to the naval force operating the German-owned com- mercial wireless plant at Sayville, L. L, and ordered the most rigid precautions against the dispatch of unneutral mes- sages in secret codes. Every suspected message was ordered forwarded to thse department for examination. Since then, the Secretary said, many dispatch- es had been submitted to the depart- ment and three or four had been re- turned to the senders for rewriting. Evidence submitted by Rathom, who had made an investigation with the aid of wireless experts, was considered by Secretary Daniels and the members of the Government Neutrality Board be- fore the Navy Department took over the Sayville station some time ago. Sec- retary Daniels told of this for the first time today, explaining that, while there was no direct evidence cf violation of neutrality, it had been deemed best to put the plant under ful' Government control. Rathom, who wrote to President Wiil- son and later conferred with Secretary Daniels, urgsd that meescges transmit- ted through Sayville, purporting to be ordinary commercial communications, such as orders for merchandise, actually contained information as to the sailing cf ships from American ports. While the Navy Department's con- nection with the publisher’s inquiries had to do only with radio stations un- der its direction, Secretary Daniels said that Rathom intimated that he had information also a* to a German scheme to secure contr>! of all radio stations in South and Central America and even in the Philippines.

She returned to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Coleman, at 1459A Hamilton avenue, and yesterday she filed suit to divorce Clifford Burkhart, 27 years old, a city salesman for a paper company. Mrs. Burkhart says her husband told ner it was necessary to econon:‘ize, 86 three months after their marriage they gave up their $50-a-month apartment at 6925 Washington boulevard and moved te the tent, about two miles from Valley Park. Burkart came into St. Louis every day for work, riding from his tent to Val- ley Park in his motor boat, the ‘Blue Flyer.” Things got lonesome in, day- time for the bride—alone in the woods two miles from the nearest town. It rained almost incessantly from the time she arrived. In three weeks she tired of wading in mud and slush and went home to her parents. Her husband still lives in his tent and rides in the “Blue Flyer.’’ Mrs. Burkart, in her divorce petition, says he misrepresented his salary Before their marriage, she said, he stated he was earning $175 a month, whereas she subsequently learned his salary wu3 $100. Mrs. was regarded in the city as an expert hockey player. Her father is president of the Wellston Talking Machine Co., 5947 Easton avenue. ONE-DAY STRIKE OF WOMEN IN NEW YORK STATE PROPOSED Planned in Protest Against Use of Phrase, “Woman’s Place Is in the Home.” NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—A one-day strike of women against the contention “woman’s place is in the home.”’ is pro- posed by the Empire State Campaign Committee of the Woman’s Suffrage Association. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, who initiated the plan, has sent a letter to members of the Women’s Trade Union League, leaders of women’s 10- cal clubs, suffragists and social settle- ment workers, in which she says her idea is ‘“‘to awaken the opponents of woman’s suffrage who use the phrase ‘Women’s place is in the home’ to its meaninglessness as applied to modern conditions.”’ 3 All women will be asked to stay at home for one day. Women employed cutside the home will be asked to take the risk of staying “‘in the home.’’ The date tentatively set for the strike is late September or early October. At a meeting, Aug. 2%, the practicability of the plan and details of carrying it out will be d‘scussed. GIRL’ 18, TAKES POISON ON GRAVE OF HER FATHER Factory Employe Tells Police She Had “Had Blues” Sinc@ Parent's Death Last February. Miss Helen Bressmer, 18 years old, an employe of the International Shoe Co. in their factory at Thirteenth and Muil- lanphy streets, swallowed carbolic acid when sitting on the grave of her father in the New St. Marcus Cemetery at Gravois and Hamburg avenues, gt 9 a. m. today. She was found soon afterward by Ja- cob Gensewler, sexton at the ceme- tery, and was taken to the city hospi- tal, where her condition is said to be serious. | Miss Bressmer was 18 years old, to- day, and she told the police that she ‘had the blues” from worry over the Meath of her father, Thomas Bressmer, last February. She resides with her mother, Mrs. Hermina Bressmer, at 184 Oregon avenue. 25 CARLOADS OF GUATEMALAN CATTLE SOLD IN EAST ST. LOUIS They Are of High Quality and Bring 96,30 a Hundred; to Be Used for Beef. A consignment of 3% carloads of Guate- malan cattle arrived at the National Stockyards shortly after last midnight, and were sold before 9 a. m. today. The Swift and Morris packing plants took them all. The cattle weighed up well, and sold for $6.30 a hundred pounds. All will be used for beef. It was thought they would be sold for “‘canners,”” but it was found they were of too high quality. Several thousand more cattle have been purchased in Guatemala, but it is not definitely known when they will be shipped here. WIRE SAVES FALLING BOY Christian Bauer, 4 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Bauer of X58 Arsenal street, had a narrow escape from serious injury yesterday in a fall. When 11 months old the boy received a prize at the St. Charles County fair as being the most perfect baby. He was upon a visit yesterday to his srand- father, Christian Bauer, 3400 La Salle street. From a second story back win- dow he was throwing feed to some chickens in the back yard when ne lost his balance and fell. About five feet beneath the window there is a telephone wire. The boy fell upon this and bounced to the top of a grape arbor and slid to the ground, sus- taining but slight bruises. Make your SAVINGS work for you— Buy REAL BESTATH!

By Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 19.—The hand- cuffs placed on Leo Frank and Supt. J. M. Burke of the prison farm when Frank was seized and carried away to- day offer the best clew to the lynchers. E. E. Davison, chairman of the State Prison Commission, announced today that the cuffs which were left on the hands of Burke bore the sertal number of the manufacturer. He had been in- formed, he said, that the name of the purchaser could be obtained by this means. Frank was manacled when he was lynched and it is supposed that the cuffs left on his. hands also bear the serial number of the manufacturer. Gov. Harris planned to confer with the members of the State Prison Commis- sion here today relative to steps to be taken for the arrest and conviction of members of the mob which lynched rank. This conference was to be the first actual step on the part of State officiala to place the blame for the hanging. Under. Georgia law the Governor may offer a maximum reward of $500 for each arrest and conviction. ‘TI probably will do this,’’ said the Governor. “This abduction of the State’s ward and his subsequent lynch- ing will be fully inquired into.’’ A number of stories that purport to be recitals of what happened at the lynching were heard today. None bore the name of the man alleged to have made the statement, but, fin at least two instances, it was said that “one who knew” had told an intimate friend what took place and the friend had made public the gstcry. Maintained He Was Innocent. The notable feature of these accounts is that, in all egeept one, it is repre- sented that Frank maintained to the end that he was innocent. One said Frank gave a negative answer after the noose had been placed around his neck and he was asked if he were guilty of the crime charged against him. Gov. Harris has received many letters from outside the State asking what ac- tion would be taken and urging a com- plete investigation. I. N. Ragsdale, Acting Mayor of At- lanta, has made the following statement: “The daily and Weekly press of Georgia is practically unanimous in condemning mob law and urging the Governor to take action in the Frank case at once. He is investigating now and probably will offer a reward that will bring the guilty parties to justice. While a large percentage of our people believed Frank guilty, yet they are law abiding and heartily disapprove the action of the mob.”’ Frank’s Body Reaches Brooklyn; Taken to an Undertaker’s. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The body of Leo M. Frank arrived here early today on board a Pennsylvania railroad train. Detectives and police were on hand to guard against any demonstration, but only a few persons were at the station. Mrs. Frank, who accompanied the body of her husband on the trip from Atlan- ta, was greeted by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Otto Stern, and other of Frank's relatives. Frank’s body was taken to an under- taker’s rooms a few blocks from the home of his father, Rudolph Frank. LINCOLN ADMITS GERMANY HAS ELABORATE SPY SYSTEM INU. 'S, But So Has England, Says Prisoner; Hearing on Demand for His Re- turn to London Is Continued. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Ignatius Timotheus Lincoln, formerly member of the British Parliament and a self-con- fessed G an spy, was arraigned ii the Unite Staten District Court in Brooklyn aay, charged with being 2 fugitive from justice wanted in En- gland for forgery. Attorney Fox, representing the Brit- ish Government, explained that docu- ments corroborating the charges against Lincoln have not yet reached the United States and was granted an adjournment to Aug. 31. : After the arraignment Lincoln said® “ft want it known that this attempt to get me back to England is a plot. If I go back I will be shot as a spy. From 1906 to 1910 I watched behind the scenes and saw what King Edward and Sir Edward Grey were doing. They were members of a clique which was trying to foment war with Germany. “T did not act as a spy directly for the German Government. I obtained information which was presented to a band 0? men in London.” Asked as to articles printed in the New York World exposing the German spy system in the United States, Lin- coln said: “Those articles are correct. There is an elaborate German spy sys- tem in this country. Why shouldn't there be? England has one. But tho British are more careful. An English spy never goes near the British con- sulate. The Germans here grew too careless. ” WITNESS ACCUSED OF PERJURY Man Arreated After Falture te Iden- ~ tify Pair at Burglary Trial.

LEFT ALONE IHANDCUFFSLEFT FRIENDS OF KAISER AND CHANCELLOR TO RESTORE BELGIUM) ON PETITION Significance Attached to Memorial. Because of] Relations of Prominent Men Behind It to the German Government. —— The Post-Dispatch yesterday printed the first portion of a dispatch from Copenhagen by Karl H.- von Wiegand, a staff correspondent of the Post-Dispatch and the New York World, on the dispute in Germany over the annexation or liberation of Belgium after the war. the correspondent inferred that from Von Jagow, Foreign. Minister,, favored restoration. of a memorial presented to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg protesting The second part of the dispatch, de- layed in transmission, is given below. against the annezation of Belgium. By Karl H. Von Wiegand, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch and the New York World. (Copyright, 1915, by Press Pub. Co.) COPENHAGEN, Aug. 19.—This peti- tion (against annexation) is known a» the Delbrueck-Dernburg-Wolf memo- rial,from the names of the three men who had the chief part in preparing it. Much significance is attached to it, not alone from the character of some of the sly- nators, several of whom are persona! friends of the Kaiser or Von Bethmann- Hollweg, or both, but from the fact that it was prepared and presented soon aft- er a visit by Delbrueck to headquarters in the East. The memorial has 82 signatures. Among these are those of Prof. Han Delbrueck, Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, privy councellor; Prof. Adolf von Har- nack, Prince von Hatzfeld, Prince Hen- ekel Denneremarck, ex-Minister Baron von Berlepsch, Count von Arco, ex-Am- bassador Count von Leyden, Franz von Mendelsohn, president of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce; Albert von Wet- zeler, an influential Frankfort banker, ex-Ambassador Count von Montz, Dr. Oppenheim, Government Councellor and director of the corporation which con- trols the analine factories; Maj. vop Parseéeval of Parseval airship fame; Carl Herma, Judge of the Berlin Commercial Courts; Theodore Wolf, editor in chief of the Berliner Tagesbiatt; Dr. August Stein, chief political editor of the Frank- fort Gazette, and over a score of Jead- ing German professors. . Relations to the Government. It is necessary to vonsider the per- sonal rather than the official relations of the several signators to the Govern- ment. Delbrueck is one of the best known Liberal intellectualists in Ger- many, and one of the leading historical and political writers who, although very independent, is close to the Govern- ment. Dr. Dernburg; ex-Minister, has been regatded in America as Germany’s chief propagandist, and, since his return +‘o Germany, has certainly been in closest, touch with the Government and, through his frequent conferences, must know something about its wishes regarding Belgium. There is every reason to as- sume that he has impressed on the Government the neutral world views, and ‘those in America in particular, of several talks I had with him in May, in Belgium, and what long years of an an- tagonistic attitude of those countries might mean to Germany after the war. Those in a position to know tell me that Dr. Dernbure’s views are discernible all through the memorial. Prof. von Harnack, the head of Ber- lin’s magnificent library, the opening of which was attended by the Kaiser personally, is a special favorite of the Kaiser, and there is reason to assume that he knows something of the Kai- ser’s views. Prince von Hatzfeld, as Duke of Trachenberg, is one of the only four nonreigniug Dukes in Germany and a member of the Kaiser’s court. Firat Governor of Lorraine. Prince Denneremarck, who celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday a few days ago, vies with the Kaiser for the place of being the richest man in Germany. His wealth ‘was estifhated before the war at between $60,000,000 and $70,000,- 000. He was the fi: : Governor of Lor- raine, appointed during the Franco- Prussian War, to rule the newly con- quered province. The significance of his signature in In this dispatch recent developments the Keiser and It also gave the test experience then and observation since of trying to assimilate foreign elements has made him advocate an anti-annexa- tion policy. In some quarters Dennere- | marck is also regarded as an opponent of the influence of the Krupp interests, His second wife, a most Russian, works unceagingly in the mag- nificent hospital equipped by Prince Denneremarck and his son, Count Den- neremarck, a young giant of six feet four, who is in the Ked Cross instead of at the front because he has been blind a long time from overstudy, and his eyesight is only partly restored. The young Count, together with his wife, have the entire Adlon hotel. No political editorials attract more at- tention in Germany than those begin- ning with the initials “T. W.” As chief of the much read Liberal Berliner Tage- blatt, Theodore Wolf exerts great in- fluence with the public. Despite the fact that the Tageblatt in past years has often attacked Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, and often has op- posed his policy, Herr Wolf for some time has been on terms of intimate friendship with the Chancellor. Dr. Stein is in the closest touch with the Foreign office and his signature to the anti-annexation memorial can be said to represent the views of the pow- erful Frankfort Gazette, in contradis- tinction to the .press and most powerful industrial interests in Westphalia and the Lorraine country, which are for the annexation of Belgium. One Marine Signature. From the marine side the memorial has only one signature, that of A von Truppel, former Governor of Kiao- chow, whose recent article, that it was senseless to go to war with America ever the Lusitania, if it could in any way be honorably avoided and that there was a disposition to underestimate what it would mean to Germany to go to war with the United States, caused some- what of a sensation. Admiral von Truppel was my travel- ing companion to New York and back last year. He is a man of thorough knowledge of the wo?ld and very liberal political ideas, but I would consider it erroneous to draw the inference that his signature to the memorial had anything to do with the views of Admiral von Tirpitz on the question of Belgium. Count von Montz, formerly Ambassa- dor to Rome, is an avowed antagonist to the idea of annexing Belgium. In Vienna, he expressed the opinion that the question ef Belgium once settled, providing restoration could be agreed upon, the war soon could be brought to anend. He advocated ceding the Congo to Germany as part compensation for giving up Belgium. Protest Against Annexation. The memorial is a protest and counter- petition to the memorial presented to the Chancellor by the six greatest and most powerful economic organizations in Ger- many practically demanding in as many words that Belgium and a portion of France be annexed. To understand and srasp the significance of the Delbrueck- Derburg-Wolf memorial property, it is necessary to know something about the scope of the memorial] to which it is a protest. I will refer to it in my next cablegram. The two represent the ideas and as- pirations of two schools of political thought developing in Germany, far upart, each struggling for supremacy, assuming Germany ultimately victorious, each endeavoring to capture the people forstheir own particular political idea. Their importance is their bearing on a this memoral lies chiefly in that -his possible basis for peace. GIVILIAN MILITARY CAMP AT CHICAGO TO OPEN SEPT. 16 Nearly 1000 Men From City and Middle West Will Take Part. CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—The United States civilian military encampment at Fort Sheridan will open Sept. 18 and con- tinue for a month, it was announced today by Col D. A.

This, he said, displeased some members of his church, The second cause of trouble, he said, was his action in reproving sev- eral young women members of his congregation for laughing and whis- pering in church. J. B. Martin one of the nine whe withdrew from the cherch, had been a member of the church 4§ years and his father was one of its early pas- tors. He ascribed the trouble in the church largely to the constant. preaching of the millennium by the pastor. . “ _ > rs “ : , Pere ee a ae 2 ; .

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Jacques Le- baudy, a picturesque public figure for years in Paris, son of a wealthy French sugar refiner, was taken Tuesday night to the Lowder Sanitarium at Amityville, L. L, following an afternoon of gro- tesque incidents. Lebaudy won \nternational notice when he went to Africa in 1908, gathered an army of soldiers of fortune and na- tives and proclaimed himself Sultan of Sahara. As Sultan he sat upon a golden throne, with a background of peacock feathers. The French Government did not like Lebaudy’s idea and took away his throne, scattered his subjects and otherwise made him very angry. He has been living in America since 1908, always with much- money and to all appearances having a fine time. Tuesday he was found on his estate at Westbury, L. I., by Sheriff Stephen Pettit, who had been sent to look him over because of several complaints about recent erratic conduct. Sheriff Pettit found Lebaudy leading an army of five messenger boys, whom he had ordered by telephone from Manhattan. Lebaudy was mounted on a white charger. Across his breast was draped a tri-color sash. He carried a baton like that of a Field Marshal. A silken cord over his right shoulder held a tin horn. His messenger boy “army” was on raw-boned horses. Dislikes Autos, Loves Lebaudy dislikes autos, but loves horses, and from time to time has bought some remarkable horses. One for which he paid $60 had to be shot by an agent of a humane society. The case of Lebaudyw came to the Sheriff's attention because Ralph N. El- lis, a neighbor, had protested against the Frenchman closing a right of way. Two deputies were stationed to keep this right of way open on a court order. They telephoned that Lebaudy was act- ing strangely and that his wife and 3- year-old daughter, Jaqueline, had prac- tically been kept prisoners in their home for 48 hours. When Sheriff Pettit got to the field wehre Lebaudy’s “army’’ was maneuver- ing; his requests for an audience were totally ignored by the “Field Marshal.”’ Now and again Lebaudy would blow a blast on his tin horn, summoning his aid, a large boy. The chief then would scrawl orders and send his aid on a decrepit steed to an imaginary com- mander of an imaginary division. Every time Sheriff Pettit got near enough to Lebaudy to converse, the former “Sultan of Sahara’’ would spur his horse for a gallop of a rod or two. Finally the Sheriff sent for a fast polo arrived and Pettit Horses. pony. The pony climbed upon it. Cross-Country Spectacle, The spectacle of Lebaudy going across country on his big, white horse, taking fences, ditches and brooks, sharply pur- sued by the husky Sheriff on the little polo pony, amazed and edified behold- ers. The pair sped out of the French- man’s grounds, across the Hempstead Plains, past golf links and finally into the polo field ot the Meadowbrook Hunt Club. Sheriff ‘‘Steve,’’ after many maneu- vers, cornered the ex-‘‘Sultan.’’ As the “army” on its sad mounts, had dropped out long before, Lebaudy checked his charger, threw up his hands and said: “T surrender to the United States Gov- ernment.”’ He was taken to the Nassau County Jail, where Dr. Joseph H. Bogart and Dr. Guy: F. Cleghorn examined him. They considered his talk so irrational that they ordered him taken to the san- itarium. DEAN OF SACRED COLLEGE AT ROME DIES Al AGE OF 81 Cardinal Vannutelli Was One of Most Influential of Members Eligible to Papacy. ROME, Aug. 19.—Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, dean of the Sacred College, is dead at the age of 8&1. Cardinal Vannutelli was one of the most influential of those members of the Sacred College eligible to the papacy. He was one of the six Cardinal Bishops who take their title from the suburban sees of Rome. He was Bishop of Porto, Santa Rufina and Ostia. He was creat- ed and pracilaimed Cardinal by Pope Leo XIII, March 14, 1887. The Cardinal was born Nov. 2%, 1834, | at Genazzano in the Diocese of Palastri- na. His early education was obtained in the Seminary of Genazzano and he re- cetved degrees in philosophy and theolo- gy at Caprianica College at Rome. After teaching theology in the Pontifi- cal Seminary he embarked upon a dip- lomatic career and was successively sec- retary to the Papal Nuncio in Bavaria, Apostolic Delegate to Ecuador and Peru and Nuncio at Brussels and Vienna.

In Westbury it is said he insisted that he be not known as Jacques Lebaudy, but that he‘and his wife must be called the Comte and Comp- tess DeLosches. When “Sultan of Sahara” he invented many titles which he conferred upon himself and his re- tainers. His home is in the heart of the Meadowbrook colony. Besides Ellis, he has for neighbors Thomas Hitch- cock, Mrs. Emily Landenberg, Se- ward Carr, John 8S. Phipps and John Steele. His wife told Sheriff Pettit that Lebaudy had ence been committed to a sanitarium in France. It was wi‘n her consent that the new commitment was made, but she sald the story that he had kept her and their child pris- oners in the home was not true.

LOUISANS HOW 4 DAYS OVERDUE Failure of Marowijne, With 62 Passengers, to Reach New Or- leans Causes Increased Anxiety. ene fate of the United Fruit steamer Marowiljne, which has two St. Louisans on its passenger list of 62, and which is now four days overdue at New Or- } leans, was the subject of increased anxiety today. Because of the violent storm of the last few days in the Guif 0” Mexico it is feared that the vessel has been lost. A dispatch from New Orleans today stated that the United States Govera- ment would be asked io send a revenue cutter to search for the missing ship. Dr. Edward Nelson Tobey of 3634 Shenandoah avenue, assistant City Bac- teriologist, and the Rev. ichard R. Rooney, 8S. J., of the St. Louis Uni- versity faculty are the St. Louisans who sailed from Belize, British Honduras, on the Marowljne last Friday. Dr. To- bey accompanied a scientific expedition from the university. Letters were received at the university yesterday from the Rev. ‘'athers Schwe- tella and Cooney, members of the fac- ulty, who went to Belize in July with Dr. Tebey and Father Rooney. Taey tcld of the plan of the latter two to suil on the Marowijne, and said the former two would remain in Belize, studying tropical fevers. The dates indicated that the letters might have left Belize on the MarowijJze and it was suggested that the ship might have been crippled by storm or accident and might have transferred its mail to another steamer. ‘In this case, it is not easy to understand why no news has come from the missin: ship. Those familiar with gulf shipping routes believe that the Marowijne ws in the path of the storm which swept through Yuvatan Channel Sunday. Iron Cross for Socialist Leader.

E; : FRENCH MINISTER OF WAR AT FRONT They Confer With Joffre and French—Liberation of World * Their Goal, Says Millerand. PARIS, Aug. 19.—A joint inspection of the Western battle line was made Mon- day by Lord Kitchener, Great Britain’s Secretary of War, and Alexander Mil- lerand. the French War Minister. They were accompanied part of the time by Gen. Joffre and Sir John French, the Commanders in Chief of the French and Pritish armies. The militery leaders paid particular -attention to conditions In the Champagne and Woevre. An official note, which gives details of the trip, says Lord Kitchener and Minister Millerand were greatly im- pressed by the splendid appearance of the troops and their high morale. Sev- eral conferences were held but the na- ture of them jis not disclosed. Sreaking at the close of a dinner Tuesday evening Minister Millerand de clared he felt highly honored by Lord Kitchener’s visit to France and was glad to learn from the British Field Marshal’s ®wn lips of the complete ac- cord uniting tho two nations. Address- ing the British Minister directly he sajd: “Yours is not the only voice which praises our soldiers, for the enemy als: gives them their due. After a year of war the enemy no longer has illusions of winning. He predicts internal dis- sensions among his enemies, which he hopes will occur. Already he is en- deavoring to incite neutrals tnd places before belligerent veiled innuendoes of peace. ‘‘Let me assure ycu, Fr---ce is united. People, Parliament and Government never have been more firmly deter- mined, in close accord with our heroic and faithful allies, never to lay down our arms until the’ «ay arrives when we shall have attained -ur goal and if the road to Tipperary is long the price is sufficiently high to justify us paying for all the delays, difficulties and sad- nesses along the road, because the price is the liberation of the world.’ Lord Kitchener, speaking in French, thanked Minister Millerand for his kind- ness in extending an invitation to visit the French front, and scid that after seeing the splendid troops'of Gen. Jof- fre, he could understand the French victories. He closed by declaring that Great Britain was resolved to make the greatest possible effort to aid France and to carry the war to a finish.

S., SAYS FRENCH’S FRIEND George Gordon Moore of Detroit Re- plying to German-American Critics, Gives Gen. Wood as Authority. DETROIT, Aug. 19.—George Gordon Moore, friend. of Field Marshal Sir John French, was on his mettle today when he was informed of vociferous attacks made by Detroit German-Amer- icans on his speech, Tuesday evening, before the veterans of foreign wars, when he charged that the great peril to the United States today lies .in 2,- 500,000 German reservists, awaiting word to start war against this country ‘*‘My authority for the statements I made,’’ declared Moore emphatically, ‘‘is authentic. It is not based upon my ob- servations while’‘in Europe, but upon the word of my friend, Gen. Leonard Wood.” ‘‘Mutterings of an irresponsible man,”’ “idiotic” and “the mouthings of a mad- man,’’ were some of the comments made today by prominent Germagp-Americans regarding Moore’s assertions. Dr. Bene- dix, editor of the Detroit Abend Post, declared that the speech was “flimsy nonsense,”’ and ‘plainly made to create anti-German sentiment.” Finest Canadian Head Lettuce.

ET, even without cut prices, the bleacher has been convicted and igs about to be sentenced. If you think not, cast an eye at some of the NEW ball parks of major leaguedom and note what’s happening to the seating ar- rangements. take the Braves’ new For example, park at Boston. Here is the division of the seating capacity: Grand stand seats at Bleacher seats at 25 The proportion of bleacher seats at the Polo Grounds, New York, is still more remarkable, there being only about 25-cent seats, enough to comply with league regulations. enway Park, the homie of the Red ox, is another with a very limited pro- portion of seats for sun-god fans as compared “with the higher priced ac- ccmmodations. Contrast this wit ith: older parks, which have 10,000 to 15,000 bleacher seats. It clearly shows the tendency is to cut down the cheaper representation. And They Say It’s Hot. OHN McGRAW ought to be ashamed of himself, spreading that canard about St. .Louis being too hot for ball teams. John knows well that every time the Giants come here they get a very cool reception.

HEY’RE now laying 6 to 5 that the Boston Red Sox will win the American League pennant. It is said the Sox’ have many supporters at this figure. | That Big Scileees iainaines, OU have to hand it to these major league magnates. You can sink in the old harpoon and turn it around twice, but all the old boys will say is: “It looks like first division,’’ or some- thing else pleasant, though not in strict accord with the facts. Old Man Dope once suggested to a big league club owner that .the growth of the municipal idea in sports would mean ra severe stab in the receipts of Sun- day ball games, some day. But the re- ply was: “My boy, municipal baseball is merely an educator for the big league stuff. It creates fans and new fans spell new attendance. More power to municipal leagues.” Yet, in Cleveland, last year, on three Sundays, crowds aggregating 150,000 per- sons attended a total of three games. This figure was carefully estimated for the Post-Dispatch by a Cleveland rep- resentative. os 7 Last Sunday at Cleveland 45,000 persons saw two municipal games, and they were not deciding contests at that. Don’t ever let a magnate tell you that many thousand potential paid admissions did not remain away from that Browns-Cleveland game in order to attend that municipal battle. Municipal baseball growth, as evidenced in Cleveland, is one serious problem that will have to be faced by magnates here and elsewhere before many scasonus have passed.

NEW OUTFIELDER, A (1 FAN-UP SLUGGER Rickey Well-Satisfied With Re- ceiving Tiger ‘‘Sub” and Cash for Bill James. By W. J..O’Connor. ‘My grandfather logt one eye and, therefore couldn't serve in the army during the Civil War,” said Branch Rickey yesterday, “but he made himself useful by buying horses for the Government. He was a pretty good judge of. horse- flesh, After the war he bought and sold horses for himself. Sometimes he traded. And his pet axiom was: ‘It’s better to know more about the other fellow’s animal than your own.’ “TI always remembered pretty sound advice: [ have been actively engaged in the American League now for almost two years as a manager, but I’m qoat, beginning to know the other fellow’s animals, so to speak. And have made my first trade. I have sent Bill James to Detroit for Bill Jacobson and cash. I won't aay how. much cash, but it’s considerable cash “I’m willing to stand on the mer- its of that trade. I need pitchers as badly as anybody in the league. But I will take my chances on the swap of Bill James for Bill Jacobson and cash. “It’s no reflection on Jacobson that he couldn’t break into the Detroit outfield. Who could? But I firmly believe that Jacobsen is a_i hitter. He'll get a thorough chance in right field with the Browns and, as I said, I'll stake my judgment on the deal. I’m now ready for more trades if l get what | want, I know the other mane animals and I’m not afraid to act.” Followers of the Browns are pleased with Rickey’s first major league deal. They long since lost interest in James, because Big Bill showed signs of de- terioration from the go this campaign. Jacobson, on the other hand, is a “bust up’’ hitter. He’s Hable to break up the olc game with a triple or a homer any time. And that’s what the Browns need. There have been too niany one-base | that as *}| binglers on Rickey’s team to date. The k, oO. ance wasn’t carried by any mem- ber of Rickey's outfield since Tillie Walker gave up the noble work of tear- ing off triples. So Jacebson’s comin is welcomed. He repcried today an will be in the box score this afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock. a Game Warrior. One of the really pathetic figures in baseball at this time is Charley Lincoln Herzog, a martyr to the hopeless cause of uplifting the Reds. Herzog is the most tenacious fighter in the game to- day, bar none. ut Herzog's fighting isn’t confined to the batl fleld. He first must fight a board pf directors, then Garry Herrmann, and, afterwards, the enemy and umps. Here's 2 nn of the many predicaments he It’s in Herzog’s contract that he-shall hire and fire players at his own discre- tion, unfettered by the foppish advice of ill-advised owners. That’s written in the book. And Herzie is foolish enough to think it’s so. Indeed, he believed in it so much that he went out and sold Rube Benton to Pittsburg for \ But now aoe Garry Herrmann and says he had given John McGraw a prior option for thereby balling up the entire deal. Benton is now with Pitts- burg, subject to.a ruling by the Na- tional Commission on the merits of Me- Graw's claim. Herzog would rather that Benton go to Pittsburg. Charlies Lincoln has no love for McGraw. They are openly estranged. McGraw isn’t particularly ‘fond of Herzog, except as a ballplayer. They don’t speak, only to scorc other. But here’s what McGraw told the writer on his last trip here: “Of all the players I lost out of the 1912 champions, the only one I really mias is Herzog. He was a paneer.

Although the tenpin bowling season here is scheduled to open the latter part of this month, alley owners are having a hard time forming leagues. Many or- ganizations have already been com- pleted for the coming campaign, but there are others still lacking one or more quintets. The City League, probably the strong- est as far as the caliber of bowling is concerned, expects to start the season with 12 teams. Morris Clary, former setretary of the St. Louis Tenpin A+ sociation said this morning, thouga, that it was hardly possible to get that many quintets and that me league prob- ably would have only eight clubs. The Business Men's League, which former years had more applicants - places, is in need of two teams. The Bankers’ League, composed of fives from the different “money” houses of the city, at present is an “unknown” quantity. The bowlers at the Central National are willing, but the others do not seem eager to form teams. Arcanum Owns Largest League. Of course, the Royal Arcanum League, with something like % teams will bde the biggest of the local leagues. This league has already been organized and is scheduled to open the season on Aug. 30.

About 9 o’clock he called to his wife. She went’to him and. he told her he had taken poison. ‘I took some of that stuff from ‘the collar box,"’ he said. A doctor gave emergency treatment and Truesdale was sent to the city hos- pital. He died in his wife’s arms in the ambulance. The Truesdales had m married sev- en months. Mrs. Truesdale said her husband frequently brooded over his father’s death and. insisted on keeping the poison that remained in the package used by his father.

QVERLAND PARK | BUND ELECTION S INVESTIGATED 80 Voters Swear They Voted “No’”’ on School Proposition; Only 68 Counted. ISSUE SOLD SAME DAY Grand Jury Told That of Two Bids for $23,000 Paper Only One Was Legal. Affidavits and testimony to sup- port the charge of irregularity in a $23,000 school bond issue at Overland Park in May, was presented to the grand jury at Clayton this afternoon by a special committee of the Voters’ League of the Consolidated Ritenour district. The committee laying the facts be- fore Prosecuting Attorney Ralph and the grand jury is comprised of W. &. Robinson of Overland ‘Park, president of the Voters’ League; John S. Side- botham, Harold Lane an& Eugene Wurdack. The affidavits of 80 vo- ters of the district, who made oath that they voted against the bond irsue, and the names of 20 other. vo- ters who declared that they voted against it and were willing to ap- pear before the grand jury and so testify, were presented to the inves- tigating body. The judges and clerks of the elec- tion credited only 68 votes against the bond issue in the returns which they declared. They credited 168 votes in favor of the bond issue. A two-thirds. vote was necessary to carry the bonds. Within two hours after the judges and. clerks had declared the bond issue carried, the members of the school board held a meeting and sold the bonds to James G. Cahill of 8t. The Voters’ League ‘also complains that the only bidders were Cahill and the Overland State Bank, a banking institution of lim- ited capital in which two members of the School Board are interested, one of them, C. Reinemer, being pres- It is contended that the bid of the bank was illegal and that therefore Cahill was the only actual bidder, and that he got the bonds by paying a total premium of only $65 for the issue, which bears 5 per cent interest. Cahill, at the time explained that he knew nothing | about the merits of the election but bid on the bonds and procured thenn. He, had been buying county school bonds for many years. | Numerous elections have been held in the district ‘within the last few years to vote on bond issues, but all of the propositions were defeated. A part of the money derived from the sale of the bonds was to be used for building an additional room on the Overland P«rx School and to construct a retaining wail in front of the building, and the bal- ance for the erettion of a school in Home Heights on the St. Charles Ruck Road. The voters of Home Heights fought the bond issue because no prvvis. ion was made for a school in Midland Heights, east of Overland Park. ‘The Home Heights and Micland Heights voters have been working together to get schools in their sections of the dis- trict. The Voters’ League wi'l also investi- gate the appointment of Clarence Camp- bell, a Republican polliician, as proba- tion officer of the district at a salary of $50 a month.: The district has never had a probation officer. The Voters’ League declares that there is no neces- sity for a probation officer. The Voters’ League obtained the affi- davits about the electicn by sending committees. throughout the district to make a canvass of the voters. The com- mittee ‘has not had access to the poll books and ballot boxes, which are in the possession of G. M. Ringen, secre- tary of the board, who is a clerk at the Third National Bank. CHORUS GIRLS’ HELMETS CATCH FIRE DURING A PERFORMANGE One of the musical numbers ina “Dream City,” the current produc- tion at the Park Theater, has en changed as a result of celluloid plumes in the helmets of three chorus girls catching fire last Monday night, at the opening production. In the “Dream Town Patrol,” originally staged, the chorus girls, attired as soldiers, marched around the stage, carrying short guns in the barrels of which Feurth-of-July sparklers had been placed. The sparklers themselves do not ignite anyth gs in falling and the march was tried successfully in rehearsal. On the opening night, however, | when the sparklers haf burned for a "time, three chorus giris accidently touched their guns to their 6-inch celluloid plumes. The steel ends of the sparklers, which had become red hot, ignited the plumes. - Instantly flames shot upward. The chorus continued marching and did not become egoited. It was neces- eary for Roger Gray, the comedian, who directed the performance,to call to the three girls to break ranks as they, In turn; neared the wings with their flaming headgear. The plumes Durned about 20 seconds. Gray found it an unusual performance of dis- i cipline. The march since has been given without the sparklers, i . VILLA WILLING | 10 ENTER INTO PEAGE PARLEY Reply to Pan-American Note Ex- presses Desire: to Bring About End of Warfare. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Further re- sponses to the Pan-American appeal for a peace conference among the Mexican EEE factions were received at the State De- partment today, including that of Gen. Villa, -which was favorable. With the presentation by Enrique C. Llorente, the Villa agent here, of his chiei’s answer, together with his own, to Secretary Lansing, three responses to the appeal had been received. The other came from Gen. Cantu, Villa Governor of Lower California, which was also said to be favorable. The general understanding here is that Carranza’s response, which is now being prepared, as well as those of his prin- cipal Gefferals, will be a joint plea for recognition of the constitutional Cov- ernment in Mexico. Text of Villa’s Reply. Following is the official text of Gen. Villa’s reply, which redched El Paso last night from Chihuahua: “T as General in Chief of the Conven- tionist army, have been informed with satisfaction of the friendly note which RR . a — ee To Put on Flesh and Increase Weight Good Advice for Thin People . sible. — are victims of mal- sareition a condition which prevents the fatty’ ele- ments of food from being taken up by the blood as they are when the powers of nutrition are normal. Instead of get- ting into the blood much of the fat and fiesh producing elements stay in the in- testines until they pass from the body as waste. To correct: this condition and to pro. duce a healthy, normai amount of fat the flesh making food elements must be so prepared in the digestive processes that the blood will accept and distribute them throughout the bo preparation called Sargol, on this basis and which nearly every druggist on a positive antee. of weight increase or money Hundreds have testified to weight crease from its use. Sargol does not of itself make fat but is simply a combination of ingredients of acknowledged merit that, taken with meals seems to better enable the digestive organs to separate the fattening ele- ments of the food and to | a owe them in a form which the blood can readily absorb. Sargol comes in tablet form, is pleasant and easy to take and its action is perfectly natural and harmless. Sar- ol is sold by Judge & Dolph Drug Co., y stores: Wolff-Wilson Dru ‘o., el- ert pad Co.; Johnson-Enderlée-Pauley Drus Ce., stores, and druggists every- where hy are authorized to refund the full purchase price, is not obtained. NOTE:—Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while it has pro- duced excellent results in cases of- ner- vous indigestion and general stomach disorders care should be taken by those usin it who do not want to increase weight.—ADV. Today's Beauty Suggestions Face powder simply covers up an unattractive complexion and leaves no lasting benefits. Those who have tried a simple spurmax face lotion find it much better, as it removes skin discolorations,. such as freckles ‘and tan, and makes the skin smooth, white and velvety, This lotion is made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax in one-half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glyc- erin. This complexion beautifier in- and gives a more refined appearance. It removes both shininess and sallow- ness,. rapidly giving the skin. a per- manent healthy, youthful appearance. me Aamgprownee & fine shampoo for this weather can be had at trifling ex- pense by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot water. Pour slowly on scalp and massage briskly. This creates a soothing, cooling lather that dissolves and‘removes all dan- druff, excess oil and dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on a glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes it seem very much heavier than it is. After @ canthrox shampoo arranging the hair is a pleasure.—ADV.

I have the honor ‘to reiterate to your excellencies the sincerity of my highest esteem. “FRANCISCO VILLA, “General in Chief of Operations.” Minister of Foreign Relations, Migue: Cabinet, telegraphed to the Pan-Ameri- can diplomats that the other military and civil chiefs of the Convention Gov- ernment would reply to this message this week. The battleships Louisiana and New Hampshire arrived at Vera Cruz yes- terday after a rough passage across tne Gulf. The’ wireless dispatch announcing their arrival made no mention-of the situation in the Carranza capital. The State Department has had no re- | visional government that will guarantes } ports either from Mexico City or from Vera Cruz for several days, the storm having wrecked the telegraph lines at the cable end at Galveston and possibly also at Vera Cruz.

It shows that past wasteful and greedy management has overloaded the Mis- souri Pacific with bonded indebtedness. Comparing the system with the Louisville & Nashville, the newspaper points out that the latter has a bonded indebtedness of $34,000 a mile, while. the former has, $42,000 a mile, with 2347 more miles. The fixed-charges of the L. & N. are only 56 per cent of its net earnings, while the Missouri Pacific’s fixed charges consume 991-2 per cent. The Missouri Pacific collected & per cent per ton more on freight and 11 per cent less on passengers than ghe Louisville & Nashville. Granting that the rates in some of the Missouri Pacific’s territory are too low, how shall they be satisfactorily adjusted? Shall they be raised it: proportion to its overcapitalization? Shall the amount of water in railroad securities be the standard by which its rates are to be fixed? Shall railroad rates be harmonized with the rapacity for plunder of railroad high financiers? When railroads go bankrupt through wasteful and plundering overcapitalization, wouldn’t it be better to squeeze the water out of the securities than to raise the rates to pay for the robbery? There would be no limit to rate raising for plun- der purposes. = = rw Four trade fleets on, the Mississippi would give the valley commercial preparedness. a rT er IRON CROSSES BY THE CARLOAD, Up to April 1, this year, the German Govern- ment has distributed the following number of iron crosses: 5 Grosskreuze (big crosses), notably one to Von fmmich, of Liege fame; 6468 iron crosses of the crosses of the second class, for the rank and file; total, 344,734; at a cost of 2,800,000 marks ($112,- 000). After the war of 1870-71 there were distrib- uted: 8 Grosskreuze; 1304 of the first class; 45,791 of the second class; total distributed, 47,103. These figures are taken from the Koelnische Volks-Zeitung of August 5 last. i, i hi rw oe Admiral Peary insists that every young man should have a military training on the Swiss system.

Judge Newton A. Morris, who rescued the body of Leo Frank from the mob, did a marly and courageous act. Boldly checking plans to mutilate and burn the body of the murdered man, Judge Morris success- fully appealed to the frenzied mob to let him carry Frank’s remains to an undertaker. Before other counsels could review the decision, and whilé one man was stamping the face of the corpse, Judge Morris had the body hastily removed and rushed to Marietta, where it was shipped to Atlanta. ~ ; Former Gov. Slaton and Judge Morris supply redeeming features to the successive stages of the Frank horror.

Yuan Shi Kai no longer disguises his plot to make himself Emperor of China, of which Dr. Sun Yat Sen satisfied himself months ago. Yuan’s most helpful assistant in preparing his coup d’ etat is Prof. Frank J. Goodnow of Columbia Uni versity. China existed as a monarchy for uncounted cen- turies, during which the country was hopelessly outstripped by younger nations, its civilization was static and the civic virtues of its people, their patriotism and interest in government sank to a sedden lev€l. The last years of the monarchy were disturbed by great public disorders and even organized insurrections that threatened the whole social fabric during long periods. Observers who fancied they had detected signs that the sleeping’ gian’ was waking were con- firmed when new ledders made their appearance, expelled the old imperial! line that long had cursed the country, set up a republic and adopted Wash- ington and Lincoln as the patron saints of a New China. But Prof. Goodnow says that the new ideas which were China’s one hope are a blasphemy. What China needs, he assures us, is more cen- turies of monarchy and popular apathy. ‘That the frequent changeg in executive under a re- = ‘ ‘rections as those under the late empire, is his published view. As a pal of old Yuan he is draft- ing a new Constitution, converting a President a the anachronism of an Emperor in the twentieth century. | ‘ The professor is. doing something more than -| to discredit and disgrace the form of government which Washington ‘runded, which Lincoln pre- served and under which he himself has had his jopportunity.

Probably that business will come out of it all in a much more re- spectable light than that in it is revealed by such disclosures as those with respect to the Rock Island. Whether the new status will be short of government ownership we do not know, but we do know that it will include honest capitalization, a de- cent living for all the employes of railroad in- stead of riches for the big fellows at the top and starvation for everybody else, and a fair regulation of rates. Let us suppose that some legislature—and legislatures are soundly abused because they do not save some of these railroads—had tried to make rates meeting the requirements of an exploited system like the Rock Island. Would twenty cents a mile, do you imagine, have been enough to have offset the wifble- sale grabbing going on at the top? Wo, friends; nor eighty cents a mile.

When we near the old wooden bridge crossing the Palma, be vigilant.”’ “What mean you?” began Franco wonderingly, but one of the soldiers at that moment prodded him up with his bayonet, and the colloquy was inter rupted. As the little party got beyung the edge of the city the leader obtained a piece of rope and bound one hand of Franco to that of Pepina, thus hampering anv attempt at flight. The road was desert- ed and the soldiers allowed the twain to proceed in advance while they strag- gled on behind. “Franco,” suddenly pina. “My treasure!” “We are nearing the bridge.

Franco and Pepina were half-way across the wooden bridge spanning the deep and turbid Palma before their captors had completed the ascent to the approach. ‘“‘Halt!’’ shouted the officer, as he noted their rapid and suspicious ad- vance. “Run,” lost!’’ “Halt, or we will fire!’ again shouted the officer with his men, massing at the approach to the bridge structure.

They stood breathless but safe upon the descending slope. -“What now?’ questioned Franco cu- riously. ‘We shall see—so!”’ Pepina had lifted the flower pot free from her bosom, where it had nestled. She raised it aloft. Her vigorous arm gave it a fling. It landed directly in the middle of the bridge. That frail portion seemed blown into space. The officer and the soldiers stood aghast, viewing the gap in the structure, a yawning abyss be- neath. “Quick—no delay!’ ordered the spir- ited girl at the side of Sior Franco. Some shots hurtied harmlessly over their heads, but they were now down the incline and out of range of their recent captors. “The flower wonderingly. whispered Pe- returned Pepina enig- but with strange hopefulness uttered Pepina, “or all is pot?’ began Franco, ee SOAP IS BAD FOR THE HAIR Soap should be used very sparingly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and pre- ared shampoos contain too much al- ali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greascless), and is better than soap or anything alse you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, remo every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the sealp seft, and the hair fine and reget bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. cocoanut oil “It served you as a signal.”’ “Tres.” “And my dead brother cherished it not only for a patriot’s flower, but be- cause within it he had hidden an ex- plosive projectile, ready for just such an }emergency as this,’’ explained Pepina. “And pursuit is blocked!’ cried Fran- co hopefully. “By 12 leagues to our friends,"’ sub- mitted Pepina. ‘‘We must not linger or delay. ‘No, they may find a boat or cross a ford,’”’ added Franco. Amid the promise of sure safety ahead the twatn were inspired with new cour- age and perseverance. The lights of their haven of refuge, a fair Italian city, showed in the near dis- stance at last. ‘‘Many of our friends must heve pre- ceded us,’’ began Franco. ‘“‘Due to the jasmine signal,’’ replied Pepina. ‘‘Ah,”’ she added sorrowfully, “poor, dear flower!”’ “It shall be the guerdon of our wed- ding day,” promised Franco tenderly.

The older brother was named Kama. He was & selfish man, who never gave a penny or a kind word to anyone. But Tuma had an ‘en- tirely different disposition. For he was kind and no one was ever turned away from his door who asked for bread. Both had huts of grass and lived in a large grove of mango trees, but all avoided the home of Kama, while everybody loved Tuma. One morning Tuma went down to the river to fish, and as he sat on a log watching his line he heard a cry of dis- tress at his back. He looked around and saw a tiny river gnome struggling to get his foot from a stone above. So Tuma lifted the rock and the little man reapered about for joy. “Follow me to my house and you wiil get your reward,’ said the gnome taking hold of Tuma's hand and leading him down the bank to a cavern hidden in the side. This cave was dark except for a hugs stone which hung in the center and lit the entire room with its brilliancy. The walls were of white stone, through which ran veins of gold. but the floor ‘was carpeted only with black sand. “Fill your neckcloth with this sand,’’ said the gnome, “put it under your head tonight and tomorrow look to see what has happened.”’ O Tuma laid his neckcloth on the S ground, piled it full of sand, then went home and put it under his pillow. At dawn, he rose and opened the bundle. And lo, to his surprise the cloth was full of tiny lumps of purest glitter- ing gold. So he spent part of the money in fix- ing up his home neatly, a part he put away and some he gave to help his poor neighbors. Soon his hut was showing the prosperity of its owner, and there was an abundance to eat and drink, while Tuma wore the best of clothing and showed all kinds of charity to his friends. But all this made Kama jealous. He wanted to get rich, too, so he made Tuma tell him what had happened about the gnceme’s gift. “I think I wili try my luck,” he said. So the next morning he went fishing and waited. Sure enough, he heard a cry and saw the gnome struggling with a stcne holding down his foot. Kama helped him take it off and followed him home, where he filled a sack, which he rad l-rought, with the sand. The gnome told him to wait till morning, which Kama did and there was the bag full of gold, just as he expected. So he bought all the fine things he could think of and ate till he was tick, hut he never gave a soul a penny or a crumb of bread. At last, when be bad spent al! the gold on himself, he thought he would go back for more. “T will take a cart this time,’”’ he laughed to himself, ‘and will be sure to get enough to last me for 10 years. S‘: off he trotted, pushing a big cart before him. He saw the snome again, and again ne helped him to get free from the stone and again he went to the cavern in the rock But this time he heaped his cart full to the brim with sand. And he wen. away without even thanking the enome-at all for his kindness. But had he looked back he would have seen the little man laughing and capering about and rointing at the cart of sand—for he cast a magic spell on it to teach the seifish Kama a lesson. Early next morning Kama jumped out of bed and ran to the cart, expect- ing to see it piled high with shining gold. But hai was hosror struck to see that there was no gold at all—not even a sign of a cert. Cart, sheds, trees had all crumbled into dust and as he glanced around even his hut fell into a heap of ashes. Only a stone in the chiraney was left.
