By Associated Press. LONDON, Aug. 21.—The British Government today author- ized the statement that the steamship Arabic was not being con- voyed when she was torpedoed by a German submarine. . WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—It was announced at the State Department today that Ambassador Gerard probably would be di- rected to call the German Government’s attention to the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic and to invite an explanation. This was the first indication from any official source that Ger- many would have an opportunity to give the reasons for the attack apparently in disregard of President Wilson’s solemn warning that such an act would be regarded as deliberately unfriendly. The State Department’s attitude is that if the German Govern- ment has any facts which, in its opinion go to mitigate the circum- stances of the attack, such as an attempt to escape or an attempt to resist or attack the submarine, the Berlin Foreign Office should have opportunity to present them. Today’s announcement, moreover, in- dicates that before President Wilson takes any ‘action there may be some ex- change of diplomatic communications. Tt is understood that the State De- partment’s policy is to show the utmost deliberation consistent with the delicate quesion and to omit no opportunity >* avoiding. a severance of relations with 0 long as there is‘a reasor- tpectation that a sufficient excuse ‘given kor the sinking of the Awaits Reports. 0 Seeretary Lansing said he could do ne more now than had been done, and Wae continuing to await official in- formation necessary to determine the Government's course. Although it has been reported tha. the German embassy had evidence that Capt. Finch of the Arabic had been warned and attempted to es- cape before the torpedo was dis- charged, it was said at the State Department that no information of _ that kind had been received from the German embassy or from any other - official quarter. A dispatch from Consul Thompson at Queenstown this morning confirmed the White Star statement that it had been definitely determined that only two Americans were lost. It was the first official agreement on American losses. Nothing new was received from Ambas- sador Page. The two Amcricans missing are Mrs. Josephine L. Bruguire and Dr. Edmond I. Woods. Whether the attack upon the Arabic was an act “deliberately unfriendly’’ to the United States against which Pres- ident Wilson gave warning in his last note to Germany, apparently depends upon whether the German submarine . commander claims that he interpreted as an hostile approach the change in the _ iner’s course to assist the sinking Brit- ish steamer Dunsley, which had been torpedoed nearby, . . Question of Convoy Important. This point, perhaps, cannot be cleared up until Anibassador Gerard at Berlin Mrs. Bruguiere’s Body Found; has ascertained what report the German Government receives from the subma- rine commander. Another point upon which much de- pends is whether the Arabic was under convoy when sunk. If the Arabic had a convoy, the im- plication is that she was guilty, although she may have been innocent. State De- partment officials believe that no con- voy was with the liner when struck. They argue that if one had been near it would have gone to the rescue of the passengers who floundered around in lifeboats for four hours. If con voyed the Arabic forfeited all rights as a mer- chantman. There is much speculation among dip- ‘omats here as to the meaning of the at- tack on the Arabic. Some think that Germany is announcing her policy by deeds and not words, and that if the Arabic incident should be overlooked something worse will follow. This is not the White House view. The Presiden: does not believe that Germany desires tc break off diplomatic relations witn | the United States. The firing on the Arabic, a passenger ship on its way to the United States, is thought to have disarmed pro-German persons who charged that the Lusitania was ioaded with ammunition and arms for the allies. Awaiting Further Reports, While the President and Secretary Lansing are conferring over dispatches already received from Ambassador Page at London, they are anxiously awaiting further reports from American consuls. Officials are greatly interested in what Ambassader Gerard has to say as to what he may have discovered at the German capital about the attitude of high German officials. Officials here ma no attempt to minimize the sſtuatlo Everywhere the possibility of a severance of diplo- matic relations between the United States and Germany wis discussed as likely if it develops that the Arabic was deliberately torpedoed without re- gard to the questinn as to whether she made a hostile approach upon the sub. marine. 7 f Total of Arabic Dead Put at 56 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—The body of Mrs. Josephine L. Bruguiere, one of the two Americans lost with the Arabic, mas deen found, the White Star Line announced today. This was based on a conversation, it was said, with Mrs. Marton Brugtiere, the woman's daugpb- ter-in-law, who was quoted as saying she had received a cable message to that effect. It was said that the cabic- gram contained no details. A cablegram received today by the Whi:e Star Line stated that the bodies to two persons who were on the Arabic had washed ashore near Queenstown. One body was that of a woman, pre- sumably a cabin passenger, and the other a steward. The bodies had not Places the number of dead d F.

By Associated Press. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 21.—The Germans have captured the Russian town of Bielsk, 2% miles south of Bialy- stok and have driven the Russians over the Biala River, according to an offi- cial announcement given out today by the German army headquarters staff. „ Bielsk is 45 miles northeast of War- saw and the same distance southwest of Grodno, which is on the line to which the Russians retired upon evacuating Warsaw.. Text of Statement. The text of the statement is as fol- lows: In the western theater of war noth- ing of importance has taken place. Eastern thearter of war—Army group of Field Marshall von Hindenburg: In the fighting east of Kovno, 450 prisoners and six machine guns were taken. South o Kovno, the enemy evacuated his posi- tion on the Jesia River and is retreating in an easterly direction. Near Gudele and Sejny, Russian posi- tions were stormed. In.the fighting west of Tykocin, the Russians lost 610 prison- ers, including five officers and four ma- chine guns. “The army of Gen. von Gallwitz took Bielsk and south of that place drove the Russians over the Biala. “The army group of Prince Leopold troke the renewed resistance of the enemy yesterduy afterncon and even- ing and since early this morning the enemy has been.in retreat. More than 1000 prisoners have been taken. ‘The army group of Field Marshal von Mackensen advanced its left wing over the Koterka sector and from the mouth of the Bug to Pulva. The enemy con- tinued to retreat. Near Brest-Litovsk, and east of Viadova further progress was made.“ 88.000 Prisoners Taken. A statement given out by army heads quarters last night said: “The army of Field Marshal von Hin- denburg took Novogeorgievsk, the last stronghold of the enemy in Poland. making prisoners of more than 85,000 Russians, among whom were six Geh- erals. The number of cannon taken has increased to more than 700. The quantity of war material is impossible to esti- mate. “Gen. von Gallwitz’s troops have taken 60 Russian prisoners, these including „10 «officers, and captured 12 machine guns. Previous statements said the total gar- rison at Novogeorglievsk was composed of 85,000 Russians, and that 2,000 had been captured in the last day of the ‘fighting alone, leaving uncertainty as to whether any of the 85,000 had escaped.

Volunteers Under Direction of Mayor Mollman. Two hundred and fifty men and 5000 bags to be filled with sand were hur- ried from East St. Louis to Pogue, III., this afternoon, following the receipt. by Mayor Mollman of information that a Wabash embankment, 16 miles northeast of East St. Louis, was threatening to give way and let an immense volume of water into the Cahokia Valley and into East St. Louis. The Wabash Railroad sent 200 men and the bags and the East Side Levee Board sent 50 men. The threatened embankment forms a dike’ on one side of a diversion chan- nel, 16 feet deep, constructed to drain 200 square miles of territory. The wa- ter ordinarily flows into the Mississippi River, but is not flowing into it now be- cause of high water in the Mississippi. At noon the water was out of the channel banks and within two feet of the top of the Wabash embankment. A Wabash. superintendent, who had a force of men at the embankment, tele- phoned that he believed the embank- ment would give way. Mayor Mollman said the natural course of the water, if the embankment breaks, will be which flows through the . stockyards and through the busfness section of East St. Louis. 3 Working Most of Night at Rescues. Word of the threatened break of the embankment came after East Side of- ficials had been working most of the right and this morfiing rescuing per- sone whose homes were inundated by a break of the irside dike of a drainage canal two miles from East St. Louis. Five square miles in the Washington Park, Fairmont and Granby, Park dis- tricts of East St. Louis were flooded: All but three members of the police department and @ large number of vol- unteers worked in rescuing families from their homes. The work was under the personal supervision of Mayor Moll- man, Locke Tarlton, President of the into Cahokia Creek, | FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU GIVEN UP. BY INSURANCE MEN Companies Satisfied by Appoint- ment of Experienced Inspectors for New City Bureau. The Fire Prevention Bureau, main- tained in St Louis by insurance com- panies for niany years to inspect elec- tric wiring, will be discontinued. it was announced this morning, as a result of the appointment by Director of Public Utilities Hooke of six of the bureau's inspectors to be deputies of the new inspection bureau created by an ordi- nance which became effective today. H. <. Henley, chief inspector of the Fire Prevention Bureau, and H. M Blossom, representing the insurance companies, opposed the creation of a city bureau. They contended that poll- dics would enter into the appointment of inspectors and that inspections would not be made by competent persons. They warned the city that they would not discontinue their bureau, and that two inspections with two fees would mean a double burden. Director Hooke several days ago said he would appoint ‘men as deputies who were in the employ of the Fire Prevention Bureau. With the announcement of the ap- pointments came information that they were approved by Blossom and Hen- ley and that the insurance company’s bureau would be discontinued. R Ti. Witiam, an electrical contractor ot 4243 Cleveland avenue, was named chief inspector ot the new bureau. The six deputies, who were inspectors for the insurance company's bureau, are: Preintt Creecy, George Lehmann, R. J. Nabrabsky. H. M. Mathews, R J. Scan- land and Louis Henninger. The seventh deputy is J. H. Mackay. | "Free Band Concerts Tonight. Poepping’s Band at Yeatman Square 7 to 9 p. m. Bafunno’s Band at Soulard Square, 7 to 9:30 p. tmn.

Foctories Shut Down for a Week. Fire engines were being used today in pumping water from the yards, ware- houses and offices of the big fire clay and sméiting plants in the flooded dis- trict of Manchester avenue. In some of the plants machinery was disabled and at others it was said that undermining of switching tracks would prevent coal from being delivered until about next Wednesday or Thursday. At most of the plants it was said the factories would be shut down for a week or ten days. At many places the River Des Peres fell almost as rapidly as it had risen and was again within its banks. City sewers had drained off the flood wa- ters in Forest Park and on Delmar bou- levard at the Wabash station the streets no longer were flooded. At thé Delmar avenue station of tha Wabash, where yesterdaf there was a swiftly moving stream seven feet dep and 200 yards wide, the water this morn- ing was only three feet deep and little wider than the ordinary channel of the River des Peres. The rain had ceased falling and the sky was clear, giving arsurance that the flood had done itg worst. Emergency Lodgings Not Needed.

He was taken to the cit; hospital. Traffic over several bridges in the Carondelet flood district was resuméd today, permitting truck gardeners to enter the city with their produce. The bridge on Broadway, just south of the city limits, was threatendd with destruction last night when thousands of feet of lumber, swept from the yards of the John J.

Moselle and Newburg re- ported serious floods further up the river and the crest of the flood is looked for at Valley Park some time tomorrow morn- ing. Newburg reported four feet of water over the Frisco tracks there. Communication between Ferguson and other parts of the county was cut off last nignt, the wind bringing down the telephone wires. Conditions in Clayton, Kirkwood, University City and Brent- wood were normal this morning. Randviph Laughlin, an attorney, who has a country home on 85 road, on the Creve Coeur line, thinks many escaped during the storm. The lake overfiowed its dam and he believes that much vf his prized stock escaped into the River des Peres. Friends ot Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hyatt, Roland Ropp, John Wenom and Rich- ardson Robinson of Kirkwood were somewhat disturbed yesterday as to their }Sefety at the clubhouse of George R Robinson, which is upon an island near the point where the Big River empties. 32 8 3 8 i 771 3 f ‘i rf Es 11111 5 “FH 15 The wind, which did great damage fish he nas kept in his artificial lake i Ratiroad Train Falls Will Be Guided in His Course by the Public Interest Manifested. Mayor Kiel, when asked today by a Post-Dispatch reporter what the admin- istration would do to prevent a recur- rence of yesterday’s flood disaster, said he would recommend to the Board of Al- dermen that a special election be held to submit a bond issue to make the River des Peres safe, provided the public would show enough interest in the project to give assurance that the $60,000 spent for a special election would not be wasted. J would not hesitate for a mo- ment in presenting a bond issue for this and several other purposes, ag- gregating about $10,000,000, if I had reason to believé the public would vote the bonds,” the Mayor said. “I hall not decide my course of action before the Aldermen meet in Septem- ber. I will look for evidences of pub- lic interest before I act.” $4,200,000 Would He Needed. The Mayor said he was advised that $4,200,000 will be enough to inclose the River des Peres into a sewer from the northern city limits to Lindenwood, south of Forest Park, and to straighten and deepen the channel from that point to the Mississippi. The property damage reached $1,000,000. In view of this, he declared, it would be an act of economy to carry out the proposed improvement. The Mayor mentioned an item of $300,- 000 for a new zoo, and a similar amount for farms and farm buildings to house the insane and “workhouse prisoners which he would like to see submitted at a special election. President Kinsey of the Public Serv- ice Board said it was impossible to rulse money necessary to improve River Des Peres, except by a bond issue. He favors a public. vote on it at the earli- est opportune moment. Kinsey said the flood damage yester- day. illustrated the need of enclosing the River des Peres and straighteninz its lower chamnel. He favors the inclu- sion in a general bond issue of other rums badly needed for public improve- ments. The Board of Aldermen will reconvene Sept. 17. e She also had been warned. The other building which collapsed was a two-story warehouse used by an — 4 sawdust. No one was in it at the time. Fleed Warnings Sent Out fer Rivers ¢ i Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 21.—The local office of the Weather Bureau to- day sent out flood warnings for both the Arkansas and the White Rivers.

Downtown District Winds Destroy Many Umbrellas The deceptively swift north wind which sent rain scurrying through the akyscraper canyons established a new record for destruction of umbrelles. At the going-home hour yesterday the streets were littred with the wreckage of rain protectors. Two persons of inquiring and statisti- cal bent counted 62 broken, shattered, bent, twisted, fractured and otherwise injured umbrellas lying in the street on two sides of the Railway Exchange Building. The wreckage extended on Olive street from Sixth to Seventh street and on Sixth street from Olive to Locust street, showing that shoppers emerging from 1 big department store had not counted on the strength of the wind when they raised their umbrellas. All through the downtown district umbrella vendors reaped a harvest of coin, selling umbrellas, some of which were wrecked a few minutes after the sale was made.

He had had no time to put on clothing when water poured into his house. He had no money to pay his fare, but was permitted to ride. The conductor did not recall how far h rode. Driving Rein Went Through Some Brick Walls Many residences and apartments throughout the city were damaged by water yesterday, particularly those upon corners exposed to the force of the wind. In numerous Cages the driv- ing rain found ite way through brick ‘walls, discoloring wall paper and loos- ening plaster. Real estate dealers re- ported that many calls were received for immediate repairs. In many cases damage was caused by the parual washing away of founda- tions of houses. — 6 Shrubbery was beaten to the ground by the wind and flower gardens were washed away.

Associated Press. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 21.—Ger- I man newspepers with few exceptions, comment exhaustively on thé speech in the Reichstag of tue Imperial Chan- eslior, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, at- taching particular importance to his re- marks concerning Poland. The general opinion set forth in the press is that the Government contempletes annexa- tion of Russian Poland, which meets with almost unfVersal approval. Editorial comment, although dealing frankly with this subject, is restricted to some extent by the prohibition of the discussion of annexation—a prohibition promulgated by the Chancellor himself and, in the opinion of dome newspapers, overstepped by him. The Taegiiche u says that “Poland will de freed finally from the Russian yoke and guaranteed a more fortunate futurs.“ The Poles, this news- paper says, will be independent or neeriy 30.“ The Taegliche Rundschau ventures to become critical, however, and questions whether an independent Poland, under German sovereignty, would not be a menace to Germany, and whether the Chancellor, in bringing up the discus. | zion of annexation, has not retarded the conclusion of peace by bringing home to Russia realization that ita richest in- dustrial province may be lost. Not Suffictentiy Definite. The Kreuz Zietunge asserts the Chan- cellor’s speech was not sufficiently de- finite, though holding out hopes which may have the most important conse quences. The Nachrichten of Dresden draws the conclusion from the Chancellor's speech | that the Government does not intend to permit Poland again to be under Bus- sian control. The Tageblatt of Leipsic says: Phe world now knows how we became in- volved in this war and we have learned | for the first time whither we are hea- ed. The Chancellor for the first time has lifted the veil concealing the pur» pose of the war and has indicated dis- tinctly and manfully what is to be the reward of the efforts of ourselves and cur allies—freedom of the seas to the west and the weakening of Russia to the East. ‘The Chanecellor’s wor is, ‘Courland freed,’ will be greeted joy- fully by hundreds of thousands.“ The Nachrichten of Leipsic expresses the belief that the military achieve- ments of Germany thus far are not sufficient to warrant the Chancellor's utterances, but approves the revelations ef the Government's intention. The Germania of Berlin says the Chancellor’s remarks show that the at- titude of Germany toward Poland is friendly, but indicates an alteration of Prussian policies. Goal Clearly Seen. The Tageblatt of Berlin says: A cer- tain goal is clearly to be teen in the Chancellor's words. A new Europe, a new order of things, must result, which will make impossible any encircling of Germany, any breaking of her circuit in the future. The basis, therefore, is, in the Chancellor’s opinion, the extension and strengthening of the German em- pire. In this purpose all Germans will agree with him. The means to its at- tainment can be discussed only when the proper time arrives. The more efféo- tive our armies in Poland are the sooner that time will arrive.“ Though slight differences of opinion appear in the press as to the wisdem of the Chancellor's frankness in discussing Poland, such criticisms are virtually buried in an avalanche of praise of his straightforwardness and honesty. 100 Families in Peril When East Side Dike Breaks Centiaged From Page One. Levee Board, and the Police Commis- sioners. About 100 families, who had been able to stay in their homes despite water about them, were endangered when the dike broke and sent a wall of water rolling southweet. Men worked yesterday afternoon and last night sandbagging the dike, but breaks came faster than they could be répaired. There was a report that sen- eral negroes, who were working on the dike when it broke, were missing, but it was not verified. Wheat Fields Under Water..

All men that can be procured are being rushed by division superintendents to places where tracks and bridges are in danger. . Thirteen bridges on the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad were damaged and @ large section of a mountain slid across the tracks into the river below Leslie. The big lake dam at Olvey, Ark., was destroyed. Crops along crééks and rivers were severely damaged and fences were car- ried away. No loss of life has been re- ported. According to reports from Jefferson City, Mo., heavy rains have sent the small streams out of the banks In that section and the large ones are rising rapidly. The Missouri River has been rising rapidly and probably will flood ihe lowlands for the fourth time since the latter pari of last May. The weather here Mas cool and clear.

Railroad bridges at Mammoth Spring, Hardy and Ravenden are gone, and miles of railway track are washed away ‘between Mammoth Spring and Hardy. Many cars of livestock were flooded at these stations and tne stock drowned, The Government fish hatchery at Mam- moth Springs was wiped out. Mammoth Spring, Thayer, Tondo. nong, Brandsville, Chapin and West Plains get power from dams which have been destroyed or damaged, and will be in darkness until the damage is repaired. | ‘Practically all train service into Kan. sas City was demoralized yesterday. ‘This was especially so in trains coming trom the East and West, and several from the South which credited their de- lay to washouts. Until midnight last uicht no train had arrived at the Union Station from St. Louis since yesterday morning, and none war expected until this morning. Train officials had re- ceived no reports as to whether or nof the trains had left St. Louis. A Mis- sour Pacific train on its way here from St. Louis had to be detoured on two other lines, and marked indefinitely late. The worst delay recorded was that of the Kansas City Southern train No. 2 from Port Arthur, Tex., scheduled to teach here at 5 o’clock Thursday after. noon, which did not arrive at the Union Station until 9 o'clock last night. It arrived with No. 4 of the same line, due here at 7:45 o’clock yesterday morning Both were stopped at Beaumont, Tex.. 20 miles north of Port Arthur, dy the floods. Pilet Cars Sound Ficod Depth. The conductor of a Kansas City South- ern train which arrived yesterday re ported that the land for miles about Port Arthur was 10 feet under water.

Men entered the boats and rowed before the train and examined unable to reach Port Arthur, om their return trip, were delayed at, Sallisaw. Ark., by the flood water of the White River. Near this town the land was 3 feet under water, the trainmen said. The two trains were consolidated at Salli- saw and detoured on two different lines to reach Kansas City. A Frisco train from Jacksonville. Mla, due here at 10:20 o'clock last night, was reported indefinitely late. The train was unable to start on its trip, it was said, as Jacksonville was hit by the beavv storm which swept Galveston. Dam Breaks in Arkanéaw: Damage SPRINGFIELD, Mo.

SFRINGFIELD, mm., Aug. A.- Pounded for 20 hours by a steady downpour of rain and then subjected to the fury of a windstorm that exceeded 90 miles an hour, grain crops in Illinois were badiy damaged yesterday afternoon and last night. “If it is true the storm swept up the State, keeping tc the east bank of the Illinois River,” said B. M. Davieson, secretary of the State Board of Agri- culture this morning, “a conservative estimate of the damage to corn alone would be at loast $15,000,000." The Sangamon River rose four feet yesterday afterncon and last night and today was rising still at the rate of one inch an hour. Hundreds of acres of corn land were inundated by the over- flow. F'armers coming into Springfield today said corn in Sengamon County, sept the tracks. The two Kansas City Southern trains that in sheltered spots, was flat on the ground.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.— Wall street’s chief concern for two days has been over the amount of gold and securities that went down ‘with the Arabic. There was a report that $15,000,000 tn securities and $7,000,000 gold had been lost. This turned out to be an exaggeration. The total value of securities on the snip was not over $5,000,000, and, so far as known, there was about $300,000 in gold. Save Mother By Associated Press. QUEENSTOWN, Aug. 21.—Louis Bru- guiere, son of Mrs. Josephine L.

He seid he and his mother were the last to leave the promenade deck. They reached this deck after the last boat had left the ship. This boat was too far away to be reached by his mother. When they were swept into the water, Bruguiere said, he swam for 20 minutes with his mother. Then his head was struck by à piece of wreckage and te was forced momentarily to release his hold on her. Wen he come again to the surface, Mrs. Bruguiere had disappeared. Half an hour later the son was dragged aboard cne of the ship's small boats. In this boat he found his two bulldogs, which he had throw overboard. Capt. Finch’s Statement. Capt. Finch, who had been commander of the Arabic for the last six years, re- newed his declaration today that the liner was torpedoed without warning. I was on the bridge and had been all the way down St. George's Channel,“ he said. The first indication. I had, even of the presence of a submarine, was when I saw the torpedo coming toward the ship A a distance of about 300 feet. “It approached us from the north at right angles to our starboard side. When it struck us there was @ terrific explo- sion which shook the whole ship. It was so stupendous that one of the life boats which swung out from the ship’s side was hlown into the air in splinters. A great volume of water was flung into the air. “The Arabic listed first to starboard, then to port. Then she deemed to steady herself for a moment and then she began to settle and had disappeared complete- ly in 10 minutes. I did not at any time see any sign of a submarine and as far as I am aware nobody else saw one be- @ore or after we were struck. „Our life boats and rafts were ready. Life belts had been distributed before we reached the spot where we were at- tacked. This is always done now, in an- ticipation of need. The boats were low- ered without an instant’s delay, and as the Arabic settled the rafts floated off. We had accommodations of this sort for u great many more persons than were on board. “In all, 14 hoats were lowered, I think. 1 have been informed that as the Arabic settled two or three of these were cap- sized, I don't know what the cause of that was. I did not see it occur, but 1 na ve been told that it did take place. Good assistance was rendered us, as ll of the boats were picked up.

For a time they banged the life out of me, but presently one came along that I could get a grip on. J was too weak and tired to haul myself onto it, but s two firemen float- ed by me I succeeded in shoving them in, though I still could not follow them myself. After that a woman and her baby were met and finally I got a piece of raft beneath me and a swell then washed me aboard the boat. Just before we were struck we passed the steamship Dunsley, which was sink- ing. She had three holes in her from shells. I also saw two boats sailing away from her toward land. We were then 60 miles south and 102 miles west of Queenstown.” Bugler Holford, who was on the prom- enade deck when the torpedo was sight- i, said in an interview that when he saw it first it was 150 yards distant and was making direct for the star- board bow. \ “There was a tremendous explosion and I knew we were done for,” he said. “I rushed for my bugle and sound ed the alarm as loudiy as I could. All the crew knew what was meant, an! every man went to his station to get the passengers into the boats and lower them away. “Nearly all the passengers were 01 deck at the time watching the Dunsley sinking.’’ Praises Captain’s Work. Zellah Covington of Los Angeles, the playwright, who was a passen- ger on the Arabic, in describing the scenes aboard the steamer after the torpedo struck, highly praised the manner in which Capt. Finch had pre- pared for a torpedo attack and the skillful way in which he navigated his ship from the moment he saw the projectile. Covington and his wife had just breakfasted when a steward told him that a vessel nearby had met with an accident. “Immediately afterward,” he said, “there was an awful explosion and I guessed the cause. We got life belts and walked to the boat deck, where we jumped into a Boat and reachgd the water safely.” Covington said one of the striking features of the exodus from the ship was the coolness of the officers and crew and the absence of panic among the passengers. A faint moan was heard occasionally from some woman but nothing that could be called a scream. The fact that the ship was running at a speed of about 16 knots and that only two boats were cap- sized spoke vdlumes, he said, for the Captain's orders to go astern.

This toll, which establishes a record for 80 shert a period, was more than twice as heavy as that levied by un- derwater craft in the preceding Week. f The recrudescence of submarine activity began on Aug. 12 and in the week ended Aug. 18, the British Admiralty reports, 13 vessels of a total tonnage of 22,970 were sunk, 11 of them by underwater craft and two by mines. This makes a total known loss of 70,668 tons of shipping in nine days. Ten of the vessels sunk in the two days were British, three were Nor- wegian and one was Spanish. The total tonnage known to have been lost on Friday was 26,674; Thursday, 21.024.

By Associated Press. BERLIN, via London, Aug. 21.—In the course of the debate today in the Reichs- ing, Dr. Eduard David. the Socialist leader, said: ' “There lives im the hearts of the Ger- man people, as in all other peoples, a longing for the day of restoration of peace. It were ill for humanity if it were otherwise. The European peoptes are bleeding from thousands and thou- sands of wounds. Every day of the war means further frightful destruction of values. „Therefore, I point again today to the declaration which our party made in the Reichstag. We adhere to the prin- ciple declared on Aug. 4, 1914, that an end must be made to the war as soon as our enemies are inclined to make peace. Lust for conquest must not prolong this war unnecessarily. Emperor WII- liam said we were not waging a war of conquest and the Chancellor’s speech yesterday supplied further proof. Un- fortunately, Germany's enemies are not yet inclined to peace, notwithstanding their severe defeats. Their leading statesmen only recently asserted the determination to continue the war until Germany is crushed and their plans for ¢gonquest are realized. They are still looking for allies among the neutrals. They said time is their ally, and hope to wear out Germany’s economic and military power by protracting the war. “If we desire peace, therefore, the only thing left is to compel them to see that their hope is futile.” More Liberty Expected. Referring to the Chancellor’s words te the effect that Germany owes her success to moral power exerted in the direction of freedom, he said: “And I hold it to be my duty to add that we expect a greater measure of liberty for the German people. With this hope we shall vote for new credit. We must reach the goal of equal civil rights attending equal civil duties. “Whoever did not know it before must have learned through this wor that the great masses of the German reople stand so high in efficiency, in the spirit of organization, in the sense of social duty, that the demand for full political equality cannot longer be re- fused. Creation of freer and higher conditions of law and culture among the people themselves and in the respect of other peoples must be the unaltera- ble aim of a policy which strives for the best for our own people and all hu- manity. In struggling for that goal we vote for the present war credit.” Dr. Peter Spahn, a clerical, expressed gratitude to Pope Benedict for his et- forts in behalf of peace. He said: “The position of the Holy Father ‘| which has been created by the war com- {pels us to think of an international arrangement which would do justice to the rights and dignities of the pa- pacy.” Polish Freedom Discussed. Dr. Spahn indorsed the Chancellor’s position concerning the freeing of Po- land from “ths Russian yoke.” Maj. Ernst Bassermann, national liberal leader, spoke ir. the same vein. He added, however. that the Polish prob- lem must be solved with due regard tc Germany’s national interests as well as the interests and demands of the Poles. “Victory must bring us peace which will guarantee our future, dictated solely from the standpoint of Ger- many’s national interests, he said. Viad'slaus Seyda, a Polish member, expressed satisfaction at the Chancel- lor’s position, saying Poland would have the opportunity of developing its na- tional life ang reviving the culture of former times. “We express firm confidence that the rregent war will create political condi- tions for the Polish nation which will enarantee fre: development of its na- tional life in the future, he said.

DEFEND ARABIC SINKING; HOLY DUTY, ONE DECLARES They Charge That Vessel Had Carried Large Quantities of Ammunition to the Foes of the Fatherland. 3 Erpressions from editors of lead-| ing German newspapers throughout the United States on the sinking of Arabic have been received by the Post-Dispatch, They follow: CINCINNATI, Aug. 21.—The Britisn steumer Arabic has varried over the ocean ponderous loads of weapons and munttions, and it cannot be estimated how many German soldiers were killed or maimed by American-made bullets wich the Arabic’s. numerous trips brought to England an‘ ner allies. The sinking of the Arabic has made an cna to ner further transporting murderous wenpons. If our Government cannot or will not end the exportation of almost incredu lous masses of weapens and munitions, it is almost a holy duty of Germany to use all legitimate means to stop, as far as she can, the helpers to the slaughter of her “sons on the European battle fields, occasioned by American-mrde bullets, Everybody is sorry, of course, if Amer- ican or any other lives were lost, but we Americans, after all warnings that have been given, should be wise ~nough not to make trips on ships of belligerent na- tions, but select ships of neutral Powers. President Wilson warned Americans two years ago to leave Mexico, and England warned British subjects during the Russo-Japanese war that she could ot protect Englishmen traveling on ships of the warring nations. Why did President Wilson not pursue the same sane and sensiNe course in this world war?’ If he had issued an official warn- ing, all difficulties between the United States and Germany would have been nicely avoided and the American hves, whose loss we all so sincerely regret, would have, in all likelihood, been spared, MAX BURGHEIM, Editor of the Cincinnati Freie Presse. England Drags Americans Into Da2z- ger, Editor Declares, CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—We hardly be- lieve that anybody will venture to as- sert that the Arabic was not a hostlie boat from the German point of view. Even a passenger ship, the British boat must be considered hostile territory as much as Germany is concerned. But the Arabic chiefly carried war supplies since the outbreak of the war. The crew formed a rifle club and practiced daily with long-range rifles of heavy caliber. The seamen would trail a sma!! raft about 100 yards astern of the ves- sel, upon which a stick of wood would be stuck to represent a submarine peri scope. This was used as a target. This proves that the crew of the Arabic was prepared to resist any submarine. If Americans knew this and used the boat just the same, they are to bear the consequences of their reckless ac- tions. If they did not know it, England is responsible for the loss of American lives. The protection of American lives ie one of the highest duties of the Amer: ican Government. And in dischargement fof that duty the Government has the support of every citizen, whatever his sympathies may be,-but out of this duty the Government can hardly deduce the duty of Germany to consider the pres- ence of Americans on a belligerent bost as protection of that boat. We turn to the Government and to the Anglo-American press with the sincere q on: Suppose a German boat, now interned at Hoboken, would try to tarry munitions to Germany, would they ad- vise Americans to travel on such boat’ They certainly would not do it. And we would also raise our voice against such a dangerous trip. Why, there- fore, not the same precaution with ref- erence to British boats? The answer is clear, the Government and the press be lieve in the superiority of the British sea’ power, but inasmuch as the super- ior British sea power id unable to pro- tect peaceful passengers, England is re sponsible for dragging American citl- rens iffto danger.

ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATEN: ALBERT REPLIES CHARGES OF THE 3 re NEW YORK WORLD „ Letters Printed Were Merely Sugges tions From Persons, Irresponsible He Says. N EW YORK, Aug. 20.—Dr. Heinrich P. Albert, Imperial German Privy Councillor, and connected with the German embassy in this country, today replied to the criticisms of the German propaganda, the eorrespondence of which was published exclusively in the World. n handing his statement at his office, 45 Broadway, to a reporter for the World, Dr. Albert said: ‘‘T Herewith hand the statement to you as representative of the New York World. I want to say at the same time that I have nothing to add to what is contained therein. Not one word will I say other than is con- tained in this document. Dr. Albert is about six feet tall, and has @ very pleasing appearance. He has & very high forehead, his hair is dark, but streaked with gray. His mus- tache is ‘short and stubby, and also streaked with gray. On one side of his synburned face Dr. Albert displays a numher of cross-cut scars, which, no doubt, are the results of student duels. Follopeing is the text of his statement: Inf view of, the wide publicity that has been given the documents and mem- oranda that were stolen from me and the wholly false and unwarranted de- ductions that are sought to be drawn from them, as evidenced by news com- mentg and editorials, I have concluded, in juatice to the public and to the cause’ I represent, as well as to myself, to present a brief summary of the facts.

Whilst Germany and Austria-Hungary had hoped that there would be such an embargo, and have been expecting tha‘ the action of Great Britain in seizing control of the seas against neutral coun- tries and destreying neutral commerce in violation of international law, would result in prompt reprisale of that char- acter, we have still considered it our right and duty, while Great Britain con- tinues its piracy on the high seas, t endeavor to protect ourselvés against this course of international brigandage by stopping the exportation of war ma- terials to the allies wherever it can be accomplished, whether by our purchase of factories or of war materials, even though we are not in a position at this time to make further use of them in our own defense. “I am unable to understand on what theory our action in that direction should be the subject of criticism. 1: we had the means and the opportunity we would buy every munitions factory in the United States, if in that ray we could keep munitions from the enemy. We should, however, still earnestly urge and insist, as we do, that it is unjust to require us to protect ourselves — that way, if it were possible to da s0, which it is not, and that your Gov- ernment shculd protect its commerve with us and should not permit its citi- zens to be made the chief instruments of the wholesale slaughter that is now devastating Europe. If there is any- thing in the nature of bad faith or in- consistency in that attitude, I confess to being too obtuse to be able to appre- ciate it. P Quotes From Decument, “As further evidencing the utter worth- lessness and misleading character of the publications of which I complain, I beg herewith to quote from an official docu- ment filed by the German Embassy with the State Department June 16, 1915, from which you will note that so far from our then contemplated purchases of war materials having been secretly conduct- ed, our intentions were fully explained to the State Department, accompanied by the offer to resell to the United States Government ‘any or all of the materials purchased.’ “If the German Government, during the course of the war, should consider it advisable to purchase arms, ammuni- tion or other war material in the Umited Stites it could do so for no other pur- pose than to prevent it from falling into the hands of the allies, her enemies The right of Germany to effect such purchases could not be questioned. Such purchases could not form a danger to the United States, but would to some extent serve as a limitation upon the casualties of war, thus serving human- ity; such purchases, furthermore, would serve the particular interests of the United States. “For, it must be remembered, that if the German Government should ever consider it advisable to purchase war materials in the United States, it would do so knowing that delivery in Germany could not be secured and that no use of the purchased material could be hoped for during the war. It will readily be understood, therefore, that the German Government would at any time be will- ing and, indeed, glad to sell and trans - fer to the United States Government any or all of the material it had purchased. Instead of depriving this country of any part of her resources, purchases by Ger- purchase.

Tot when the German Government endeav ors to secure control of output of a sin- wie factory, its entirely legitimate ac- tion is widely denounced as amounting to a propaganda ‘involving the United States in the complications of the Eu- ropean war.“ “Surely no reasoning mind can be misied by such manifest evidences of blind partisanship, unfairness and in- sincerity.

In answer to the inference based on certain of the letters that I, or any- one connected with the German Gov- ernment, has been concerned in o- menting or encouraging strikes in fac- tories manufacturing war materials, 1 have only to say that there is no basis for any such assertion or insinuation. No such transaction or negotiation as is suggested by the above mentioned letter from Mr. Dencken to Mr. Mar- low or by the McLane letter ever oc- curred. “Whilst it is true, as above stated, that all sorts of offers and proposals were and are being constantly made to me (ag they are doubtless being made to representatives of the allies in this country) upon that and every other con- ceivable subject by people unknown to us, whom we never took the trouble to answer or investigate and to whose pro- posals we paid not the slightest atten- tion, no such transaction as hag been sought to be adduced from the one-sided correspondence that has been printed ever took place. Our only offense on the face of these letters ig that of hav- ing tucked away the letters instead of consigning them to the waste basket. “For months past the newspapers have been filled with inspired romances of qur attempts to foment labor troubles, which.I am glad of the opportunity to set at rest. It is quite on a par with the baseless and ridiculous assertion that ‘the large transactions of Germany suggest a weekly expenditure of $2,000. 000.’ These sensational falsehoods fol- low one another so thick ano fast that it is quite impossible to deny them if one were disposed to do so. 3.

In getting away from the lamp post Murphy ran the car into the curb- ing. There was another shakeup, but no ene was injured. When the party reached Grand and Washington they found no one waiting for them, They continued to Spring avenue and Delmar boulevard and found no trace of a burglary there. At Grand avenue and Morgan street Murphy col- lided with a safety first sign on the Ho- diamont right of way. And later, as he The night commander of the station sent for a police surgeon.

LONDON, Aug. 21.—“It would be an error to suppose the British financia! delegation is going to America to. ne- gotiate a loan,“ says the Times. “Its primary business will be to reotify the adverse exchange rate and, in the first instance, other methods probably win be inquired into in concert with Ameri- can bankers. “The policy discussed between Great Britain and her allies will be based on the power to send gold to the United States in such quantities as will assure the result aimed at, but it is possible the prospects of an American loan may be found sufficiently attractive for that course to be adopted.:’ ANNOUNCEMENT OF COTTON AS CONTRABAND TOMORROW PARIS, Aug. 21.—The Foreign Office announces that the Journal tomorrow morning will publish an official an- nouncement by the French and Brit- ish Governments declaring cotton to d absolute contraband of war.

The paper was in er- istence, and had, I am told, a wide cir- culation as a publication of avowedly pro-German sympathies long before Dr. Dernberg or I or any of us came to this country. “It so happens that the transaction re- ferred to in Mr. Viereck’s letter of July 1, 1915 (which was entirely legitimate and unobjectionable), was never carried out for the reason that Mr. Viereck re- fused to subscribe to the conditions set forth in that letter. I explained to him that we were not in sympathy with his attacks upon the administration and especially upon the President and that we would lend no substantial support to the publication, notwithstanding any claim te which it might otherwise be entitled because of its German attitude, unless we could have a sufficient con- trol over its editorial policy to prevent our desire to assist a publication that would place the merits of the German point of view before the American pub- lic. Mr. Viereck declined to permit his policies to be in any way influenced by our wishes, and much that he said in hig paper has been against our vig- orous and persistent protest. 4. As to the so-called German infor- mation service and the alleged news- paper propaganda: “Te ie not true that an effort has at any time been secretly made to influ- ence American public opinion. The ex- istence of the German information serv- ice was publicly announced to all the leading newspapers of the country upon its inauguration in October last and has been well known to the public ever since. It was founded for the purpose, as then stated, of counteracting the par- tisan news service that up to that time had been edming via England, in which the happenings of the war and the con- ditions in Buropean countries were being creatly misrepresented, to the injury of Germany. Embasay Assisted Service. “The embassy, which has a natural and legitimate interest that reliable in- formation regarding Germany should be made available to the press of this country, has always opéniy assisted that service by giving it access to au- thentic news items and official reports. Germany is and has been avowedly and anxiously seeking, and atill continues to seek, for its cause the moral support CHICKEN | DINNERS, Soc * ot America and of the other neutral countries of the worid. It believes in the justice of its cause and will leave no effort untried to place the merits of its cause before the world, notwithstanding the stupendous obste- cles it will be required to overcome n rder to secure a fair hearing at the bar of enlightened public opinion. With every means of cable and almost every form of communication in the hands of its enemies; with all the powerful finan- cial interests of the country arrayed against it; with a press bureau un- equaled in the annals of history for ef- ficiency and imagination working nigh* and day, year in and year out, manu- facturing the most revolting tales of atrocities to poison the public mind, tT fail to see anything reprehensible in the desire of Germany to get its case before the people whose friendship it has had in the past and whose good opinion and sympathetic interest it is anxious to retain. “This effort it has made in the open and in this it will persevere notwith- standing the discouragements put in its way by this latest attempt to disort its motives and to attribute malign purpases to legitimate and praiseworthy under- takings. For every dollar that it has expended in advancing that praise- worthy object it is safe to say that thousands of dollars have been expended by our enemies in subsidizing the sources of information by means of garbled censored cable reports and by the same subterranean channels that are open to them, through their con- trol of the news, their vast expendi- tures and the far-reaching financial] in- terests that are behind them. It is because we are frankly solicit- ous for the good opinion of your people and resentful of these baseless attacks upon our integrity and the use we have Democratic Committeeman Stops in Washington to Work for Next Meeting of Party. WASHINGTON, Aug. A. -The third doom for the location of the Demo- cratic National Convention has been brought to Washington. This time it lis St. Louis that puts forward its claim. Edward F. Goltra, Democratic Na- tional Committeeman from Missouri; came to see Secretary Tumulty, but Tu- multy was out of town. “St. Louls is going to have the next convention,” said Goltre. “We are go- ing to get it because we are the most centrally situated city of any seeking | the convention and because we can care for the vast crowd that would be brought together. “Our geogrephical location is such that we would be strictly neutral as regards any sectional feeling. Everv ecction of the country could be repre- sented in St. Louis on equal footing. “We have the best convention hall that can be provided, and we have had so many new hotels built that there would be abundant accommodations for all. ‘The movement to bring the conven- tion to St. Louis is being conducted by the Business Men's League of St. Louis and already we have obtained assur- ances from many members of the Na- tional Committee that they will vote for our city.

Trade and industria] advices continue] to indicate expanding business in nearly all important lines, and despite rather unseasonable weather over the West and Louis firms suggest increasing confi- dence in the future. } ; ‘and iron industry is usually considered eller that St. Louis and its immediate , Southwest, this week’s reports to St. In the metal trade and kindred in- terests activity in orders and contracts is expanding steadily, and as the steel the barometer of general business con- ditions, there is good grounds for the territory is facing a good fall business. In close touch with the steel and iron industry is the electrical and brass man- ufacturing interests, and firms which deal largely in copper and its products. To a certain extent the business of these companies has been stimulated by heavy “war order’ contracts, but recent trade has developed more of a domestic than foreign demand, and many local firms report conditions as steadily improving, with the volume of orders now in ex- cess of this season a year ago. Among these is the Pan Electric Man- ufacturing Co., located in their own building at the northwest corner of Fourth and Gratiot streets. The com- pany was incorporated in 1902, and for the past eight years has specialized in the manufacture of direct current mo- tors, standard and low voltage dyna- mos for farm and suburban plants, mov- ing picture theaters, etc., and also elec- tric plating generators and special di- rect current apparatus. Besides these lines the repairing of électrical appa- ratus has been continued by the com- pany as a separate department, with greatly improved equipment and facili- ties. The company has on hand at pres- ent a large order from the I. B. Jones Co. of Kansas City. They have also just recently designed and machined com- plete two commutators for a large Portland cement company in Iowa. Chandeysson motors, which is the trade name under which this line is built, are represented to be the equal of any di- rect current apparatus on the market today. Wagner Company Optimistic. The Wagner Electric Manufacturing Co., with — —— and factories in St. Louis, and branches in New York, Chicago, Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Cincin- nati, Toledo, Detroit, Atlanta, New Or- leans, Dallas, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Denver, El Paso, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Seattle, is both busy and optimistic. This firm, which ranks third among the great electrical machinery com- panies of America, long since settled satisfactorily many of the most vexing problems of manufacturing, by insisting upon absolute excellence in every plece of machinery that it places on the mar- ket. One result of this settled policy has been that, when less conscientious factories were compelled to bemoan dull times the Wagner Quality’’ products have found a scarcely diminished mar- ket. The Wagner coinpany is noted for its self starters for automobiles, its single- phase and poly-phase motors, its trans- formers, converters, generators, recti- fiers and instruments of electrical pre- cision. It developed, and for many years was the sole manufacturer of the single-phase motor, which is today rec- ognized as wonderfully efficient. Brass Company Active. The itureka Brass Co., located on the Terminal Rauroad at Red Bud and Bul- wer avenues, reports business improv- ing. The cémpany formerly was lo- cated at Twenty-second street and Scott avenue, where for years they cast roll- ing stock accessories for'the many rail- roads of the United States. In fact. there are few railroads in the countiv which do not carry the firm name “Eu- reka’’ on some part of their equipment. Frank Haggenjos, president of th« company, organized it some years ago and has carried out the intention formed then, of giving the trade first-class serv- ice and high-grade material. This policy has resulted in the grad- ual growth and expansion of the busi- ness and the firm’s annual output now runs close to the million dollar mark. Its principal products are babbitt met- als, brass, bronze and aluminum cast- ings, railroad car journal bearings and locomotive bearings. The Kraushaar Brass Co., 1112 Marke: street, also reports business expanding. The company was, established in 1873, and manufactures all its own goods. It has just finished a big contract on the Dlinois Central Railway station at Mem- Phis and has several other large con- tracts in course » completion.

The St. Louis Brass Manufacturing Co. of 415 Washington avenue is stead- ily increasing its sa‘es, The firm makes a specialty of artistic lighting fixtures, especially of the one known as “Bras- colite.“ In February, 1913, according to an official of the company, the first shipments of Brascolites were made These shipments were local. One year later shipments showed an increase dt 3498 per cent and were made to all parts of the United States and Canada. In February, 1916, shipments showed an increase of 3518 per cent, based upon the first month’s business, and these shipments went to all the continents and nearly every country on the globa. Iron Market Higher. Pig iron quotations are steadily ad- vancing and the demand continues very active, especially for delivery during the first half of next year. Demand for all kinds of finished material is also very active with prices tending upward. In- quiries are pending for immense ton- nages of barbed wire, roufids and other materials for export. Wire mills will not be able to give the prompt delivery desired on materials for export. Some rail mills are unable to guarantee prompt delivery of rails as they are busy rolling large rounds for the manu- facture of shrapnel. Coke prices are soft, representing the only weakness at present in the market. Activity on the Stock Kxchange con- tinues on à liberal scale and suggests increased industrial expansion.

My experience has been that the ability and willingness of the authorities of the city of St. Louis to properly provide the necessary sew- ers, water, street and other facilities is entirely lacking. Why, then, burden the city with more vacant territory. Further, it seems to be impos- title te interest the city authorities in the Twen- ty-fourth Ward. I know of petitions for street im- provements and for other municipal improvements that have either been entirely ignored or if passed, only upon the most persistent efforts of the prop- erty Owners and the local improvement associa- tions. ' She territory now covered by the City of St. Du te filly large enough to take care of the future growth of the city; and surely je neun to tax every department of the city government. JOHN R.

Te the Editor et the Post-Dispatch. Recently I wrote you concerning the causes of most automobile accidents, and what could be done to prevent them, and now I read of the re- ont accident to Charles W. Bright. Automobilists (and I am a car owner myself) take too many chances. They don't sound their Warming signal one quarter as often as they . They come up behind a person crossing y street and never think of sounding their sig- mal, if at all, until they are right on top of the and then they do not know whether the ie going to jump forward or backward. In heavy traffic it is almost impossible, when a see at the street, for them to look in at the same time. And even if a horn sounded, the average warning signal is #0 weak tn the throat that it is as bad as no at all. - people driving a car are in the same anger from other automoblliste as are the people Street. I have a good, loud signal on my loudest one I can get—and I never fail to sound per I think a good, strong blast ‘on it will keep anyone from running into me, or will prevent pedestrians from running in front of me, or knowing that I am coming. I believe that you ought to urge some ordi- that will compel automobilists to use their signal loud and often, and to have some- de heard 60 feet away. GRIDLEY ADAMS. g 1111 if you can manage to have the these weeds? CIVICS AND HEALTH. lo—tax- A LOOK AHEAD AT BERLIN. “Prondly and without fear we look into the future,” declared Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl- weg, reviewing the military situation in the Reich- stag. Highly interesting, as the German official view of the record of events to date, is his confident and most optimistic statement. He pours scorn on the allies’ claims of lack of preparedness and other exouses in a whole year filled with excuses. He outlines bright hopes, and it must be conceded that he assigned no reason for them that has not some basis in fact. Powerful and appealing is the argument by analogy, and that is the argument he applies by implication to the further course of the war. Ger- man energy, resdurcefulness, readiness, sudden- ness in attack, have achieved results of a brilliancy scarcely surpassed in history. Victories in a long “st of desperate encounters, each of which is to be accounted greater than the encounters of prior wars, are to be inscribéd on German battleflags. To Liege, Namur, Brussels, Antwerp, Maubeuge, Lille are added Warsaw, Kovno, Novgorod and now Novogeorgievsk. The territory already subdued would equal a large fraction of the area of the German empire. The prisoners of war taken would form enormous armies. Thousands of cannon, greater thousands of machine guns, munitions enough to fill long series of warehouses have been captured. It is natural for the Chancellor to argue that Germany, having accomplished these almost in- credible things in the past, will continue incredi- ble performances in the future. Would not the allies be filled with high assurance if they could look back on such a record? It is only when German execution is measured by German expectation that these words of gu- preme confidence, based on truth, are seen not to express all the truth. They are really spoken at a most critical time for Germany's security, when the Balkan peoples seem about to extend the list of her enemies, when an accounting must soon be made in Poland and the question answered as to what, after all, has been gained. In the four theaters of war on land there is only one where things are going well for Germany. If it is a cause for optimism that the allies can- not break through the German lines in France and Belgium, is it also a cause for optimism that the Germans cannot and will not break through the ajlies’ lines in that region? Italy's Alpine progress may be slow, but she has added much to the forces that are depleting Teutonic strength. — “Unshaken and unshakable stand the Darda- nelles,” says the Chancellor, at the moment when Turkey, industrial pauper, is cut off from her al- lies and their stores of war tools, and events are moving more rapidly than they seem to some great climax. In the broad theater of war at sea, what is there affording a gleam of hope except success in attacking fishing craft and unarmed merchant ships? The plans that reposed long years in war office pigeon holes—plans prepared with the most ac- curate knowledge of Germany’s limitations as well as utmost possibilities—called for the crushing of France within a few weeks and the defeat of Rus- sia within a few months thereafter. France was not crushed. Russia’s armies are still a powerful force for defense and offensive. Germany is nearly a year behind on her sched- ule and enemies have multiplied during that year, and continue to multiply. The argument from analogy is not one-sided in its application. If she has fallen so far behind expectation in the first year, may it not be reasoned that she will fall as far behind her present sanguine expectation in the next year? The Chancellor may look without fear into the future. But can he look into the future without disquiet and grave forebodings? (== ~~ Georgia’s motto is all right, but mobs do not stop to read mottoes. THREE ARGUMENTS. The Rock Island case posts upon the national bulletin board another powerful argument for control of railroad capital issues by the Inter- state Commerce Commission. This is the third great argument of the kind to be posted within a brief memory. The New Haven was wrecked by excessive cap- ital issues efther alien to the business of railroad- ing or for properties and purposes without equiva- lent value. The Frisco system was wrecked by excessive capital issues for properties in which its officials were interested. The Rock Island was wrecked by excessive capital tssues which were even used to pay gratuities of a million dol- lars to high-salaried officials and which brought a loss to the compahy of at least ea score of mil- lions in reckless investments. The days of open stock watering by railroads are nearly over. But the days of underhand stock and bond watering, which is worse, are still with us. The shipping and traveling public has an ad- mitted interest in making railroad securities hon- est. Perhaps the owners and creditors of rail- roads, in the light of these cases, may come to see that they also have an interest in making the securities honest. The way to this end is to bring the Interstate Commerce Commission tnto super- vision of all railroad capital issues. Influential Russians are demanding capital of the country shall be moved from gered back to Moscow, from which ft wee taken io Peter the Great's time. They assign reasons enough for the change— Moscow’s more central position, its greater ge- .| curity far in the interior, its historic relation to the Russian nation, the fulfillment of the origina) purpose of the removal to Petrograd. In fact, all possible reasons are assigned except the real reason, which is the alarming present phase of the war. The conviction is now strong that the immediately afterward was Germans on the Marne, the greatest success for ‘ may seem an exception. But did not disasters stop with the removal and have not the Belgians at least been holding their own ever since? ° BIGGEST ST. LOUIS RAINSTORM. In St. Louis, whose topography makes it one of the best drained of American cities, more than seven inches of rain fell in a little more than 24 hours, during a storm that swept up from the Gulf of Mexico. Since official records were kept no such pre- cipitation has been known in an equal space of time, So unusual a downpour far surpassed all provision suggested by previous experiente for caring for it. Along ravines and beds of small streams leading toward the Mississippi, floods swept, accumulated waters from the city itself and from the elevations of St. Louis County beyond. Hollows between the ridges and elevations on which the city is built became broad lakes, with damage to residences and other structures built therein. Industrial plants here and there were handicapped, trolley service interrupted, even trains on steam roads entering the city along the Mill Oreek Valley from the west could not be operated. Inconvenience was caused to many, actual physical distress to a few and a not incon- siderable loss in money and regrettable loss in life. In few of the larger cities of the country, how- ever, could such a visitation have taken place with as little flooding of sewers, as little of over- flow on valuable property, as little general hard- ship and damage. St. Louis has great reason to congratulate itself today. Artificial safeguards are not planned with ref- erence to the exceptional, the visitations that come but once or twice in a century perhaps. Probably no artificial safeguards could be pro- — vided that would have had full adequacy against |. a storm of such extreme violence. Still, some things are indicated for the future—the lessons of the storm that should be translated into action. Some of the worst conditions experienced were along that old source of trouble for St. Louis, the River des Peres. Plans long ago made for its improvement should be carried into effect. In the otherwise admirable topography of this town, the valley of that stream is a vulnerable point in the ordinary summer storms of every year. This shallow stream has triumphed too many times over big St. Louis. Big St. Louis should curb it. > » ~ MACO THELEGRAPH’S ‘‘WARNING.’’ With the plea that it is moved by solicitude for the welfare of thé Jewish people in Georgia, the Macon Telegraph threatens the press of the coun- try with the vengeance of Tom Watson if it per- sists in demanding that the Frank lynchers be brought to justice. The Telegraph calls the demand that the lynch- ers be brought ta fustice “mobbing the State of Georgia,” and says that, if it continues to be heard, Tom Watson will look upon it as his gage of battle and will proceed to tell Georgians that “the rich Jews of the nation have bought up the press of the republic to vilify and blackguard and defame the State of Georgia.” And, the Tele- graph adds, the people of Georgia will believe him. This newspaper, which thus drags in the race issue in an effort to gag Justice, ought to know, and does know, that the demand for the punish- ment of these lynchers would have been made whether Frank had been a Jew or a Gentile. Its injection of the race issue is an impertinence and an insult to the people of Georgia, who are not to be led by the nose by Tom Watson in a question that concerns the honor and good name of the State. It is ridiculous to talk of mobbing the State of Georgia. But are the Macon Telegraph and Tom Watson’s sheet big enough to bulldose that State and the press of the country into condoning such an atrocious defiance of the law as was involved in the lynching of Frank? a If the Fathers could see the River of the Fathers they would despair. i, A i i i ‘THE BANERUPT SOUTH.’’ The Vienna Neue Freie Presse, under date of Aug. 3, says editorially: There is untversal dismay and anger throughout the United States about the ad- ministration’s refusal to listen to the gen- eral demand, that the barbarous shipment of arms to ovr murderers be stopped, and to overrides Britain's order to stop cotton ship- ments, of which we stand so much in need. The South is already bankrupt, because her cotton market has been closed by England with the connivance of President Wilson, who seems not to have been impressed even by the resignation of that good man, Mr. Bryan; and the people will now definitely insist on an extra session of Congress to force the Presi- dent’s hands.” Truly one must go away from home to get home news. — ee THE .NEIGHBOR’S DOG TRAY. Not our dog Tray, but somebody else's, is mighty mean these days. Monday’s list of 18 persons bitten brought the record up to 411 since May 28. And of the 13 victims Monday, 6 were little children.

OCRATES: | Last night I was down at the Agora, and they asked me to say something about the outlook for civilization. There has been 80 much said of the war that I have been fearful of an- other confusion of tongues. Nevertheless, we are confronting one of the great crises of history, and if men do not much think or talk of anything else, it is not to be wondered. No doubt men did the same thing when every other great civilization hung in the balance. I, therefore, consented to say what I thought, and everybody gave me the most respectful attention. Adeimantus, who introduced me, was very flattering. He said: ‘‘Here is Socrates, who con- tinually thinks of these things. He will know more about them than the rest of ua, who are not by pro- fession philosophers and therefore are not as good at this sort of thing as Socrates is.’’ I, of course, thanked him, and began with reviewing the civiliza- tions which had flourished and fallen. I said that every one of those civilizations had been exhausted by war, and that our own seemed in a fair way to fall from the same cause. Anastasias, who was in the hall, asked me if I did not think our own civiliza- tion was so much more general than any that had gone hitherto that it would prove itself proof against ruin from such a cause. I told him I would Mike to ‘believe that, but I could not see how it could be true if war itself only became the more widespread by rea- son of the greater distribution of civilization. This made him reach for his smelling salts, and I con- tinued thereafter without interruption. It was a hit, all right. same thing was true of the civilization of the Romans. It had nothing in cold storage in any other part of the world, and when the Goths and Vandals burst in upon the Roman people they swept away all that those people had achieved with the same blow that did for their once-powerful empire. Thrasymachus: What did they say to that? Socrates: Nothing whatever. A few murmured, but whether in protest or admiration of my mental process, I could not say, I went on to say that so far as Bu- mens, and if there is any reason why tis not de the same I have not eln etm | that the civilization in Europe at this time is in many respects greater than were those of the Greeks aad Romans; but after all, when we kill men and keep on killing men until that becomes the chief business of humankind, as it did with both Greece and Rome, there is no reason to believe that those baser instincts which at once perpetuate war and ruin civilisation will not triumph in time over all those refinements of feeling and being of which civilization is made. I am not saying that war is not sometimes beneficent. I only feel that as it goes on destroying the flower of humankind, as it places a premium upon violence and continually minimizes all those gentle and sacred re- lations by means of which we have arrived at our present high mental and social status, it must at lass plunge us into that same pittomless bot in which the Greece ef Pericles and the Rome of Augustus found themselves after their too brief period of grandeur and glory. Polemarchus: You have it, I think. Socrates: I think so. What becomes in war of the arts and sciences, granting that medical science alone often makes strides at such a time and that chemists and physicists discover in war unheard of means of blowing humankind up? There is no music written. There is no sculpture. The painter dies like everyone else. There is no literature. There is no religion. All goes into the great maw af Moloch, and the end is darkness. Thrasymachus: You said something then. Socrates: Very well. Now let us buy a paper and see What the total mileage of the Russian army is to date. NEIGHBORLY REQUEST. The Jones and Smith families lived side by side in a pretty little suburban village. The Jones family owned @ phonograph. One night about 8 o’clock little Mary Smith rambled over and knocked on the front door of the Jones house: Mrs. Jones, said little Mary, when the for- mer opened the door, ‘‘mother wants to know if you won't please lend her your phonograph.’’ My phonograph?’’ was the surprised response of Mrs. Jones. ‘‘What in the world does she want it for? is she going to have a party?“ „No, ma am,“ was the candid answer of little Mary. ‘‘She said she would like to bury it for 6 couple of hours so she could get the baby to deep. —Philadelphia Ledger.

She is herself fresh and lovely. and her clothes really delightful. They smack considerably of the days of our grandmothers, though this sweetly fem- Inine outer apparel does not suggest any reversion of the type of woman who hypothesized it. The tight bodice and full skirt, dainty ruffies and square decolletage are em!- nent features of those styles which we Ravs adopted, but the aimless scatter- ing of velvet bows over a frock, the frivolous handling of lace ruffles and the extremely tiresome conglomeration of trimmings and materials on one frock have remained mere landmarks Our attire expresses real character these days, significant of the modern woman with her club, her sports, her organized activities, her motor, which she drives herself, and her admirabtv Practical position in the world. A fact about these present modes is that they require so much material as to make the purchasing of a frock an anxious item of expense. Not only are the skirts full, but sometimes so short as to require a foundation which also must be full. When transparent mate- rials are employed they are superim- posed in two or three layers, and in widths varying from sfx to 12 yards around. Chiffon is a material whitch has sud- denly burst into favor for afternoon frocks, achieving that filmy effect so well liked by us all. In the spring it was used only in a half-hearted way,’ with quite as much of silk combined with it as there was chiffon. But some how or other the chiffon has won out, and a whole frock of it may choose what little bit of silk it desires, or even ignore it, and give to velvet or braiding the trimming privileges. effect that a combination of lace and, chiffon would give. Maroon red, nich is sure to be a favorite color this fall, would be pretty for the chiffon, while the lace portions in ecru could be lined with maroon color net. A foundation waist of the lace over net is in kimono style and blouses softly over the belt. In the front it is opened to give occassion for a trimming of chiffon in the form of finely tucked bands. They parade each side of the front, and continuing over the shoul- ders line up in a mitered corner to give & pointed yoke effect. A Pleasing intro- duction of chiffon this is, and quite ap. preciative of it is the akirt, which in- vites the tucked bands to extend down the front as far as the lace portion ts At the left is shown the delightful 7 banded above the elbow with the chif- fon, while circular flares of it grace- fully lengthen them. Though most of the skirt is of chiffon, its soft, billowing folds owe considerable to the filmy lace and net upper portion. Completing the frock is a narrow insertion of lace band- ing down the front of waist and skirt, where tiny chiffon-covered buttons may serve a further elaboration. A flaring collar of fine net wired is adorably brought to notice by being the starting point in the back of two very long ribbon streamers. These may be allowed. The sleeves, too, arrange to be shades of red to form little flowers. If one might have a length of Roman stripe ribbon which they are waiting to make use of some time or other, the sug- gestion at the right for this design will be found pleasing.

By Mrs. F. A. Walker. NCH upon a time there lived in Russia a King who was very old and had two daughters. The King was a widowen and as his health was poor, he was anxious that one of the girls should marry at once, and promised that the one who did should inherit the kingéom. The elder girl, Olga, was a handsome girl, but of a selfish, cruel nature, while the young- er, Ada, was kind, gentle and unselfish. Both were fine looking, but Olga’s face was hard and showed her nature, while Ads's counténance also plainly indicat- ed her noble heart. On the eighteenth birthday of Olga the old King told both his daughters that a young Prince was coming from an adjoining country to choose the hand of one. This Prince was young, rich and handsome and would select his. bride after he saw both girlk, 30 the court was in a great state of en- citement, * Ada was vory happy at home, where she had plenty of pets, so, while Olga was fixing her silken gowns to receive the Prince, Ada strolled away to the woods with her dogs following at her feet. On her way back she stopped a while in her favorite seat in the hdl- ner friend, the Goblin of the Ferns, would expect a visit. In a moment the tiny fellow pepped up beside her. to worry at all about the matter.“ „ don’t know about that,” returned fellow. “Olga is a selfish girl, and country would be very unhappy her rule he were ever Queen. low of an old tree, for she knew that’ present I have for you. It will bring you good luck,” and he drew out of a| bag a long ruffie made of feathers. They were in all colors and sparkled brightly in the sun. At the bottom they had been sewed to a bit of good cloth, | go that they could be used to wear about the neck. “This is a magic ruffle,” continued the Goblin. ‘‘Put it on tomorrow when the Prince comes and all will go well with you.” : O Ada took the present home and placed it on her dressing table. | The next day the Prince arrived and at once seemed to be attracted to Ada. It was a case of love at first sight on both sides, for the girl hap- }pened to like him equally well. This. of course, made Olga furious and she vowed she would seek revenge on her sister. Ada had worn the magic ruffle, which with ita sparkling play of colors attracted much attention, and this again made the older sister jealous. So when Ada was asleep that night she crept into her room and went up to the table. Here she saw the ruffle ly- ing on a velvet cushion and shining in the moonlight. But she did not notice the tiny figure of the Goblin Which was swaying on a branch of a tree just out- side of the window. Olga picked up the ruffle and put it around her neck, then stood admiring herself in the mir- ror, “Z ehall keep this.” she said. “T think it tf the thing which takes the Prince’s eye and makes him like Ada” Now the Goblin heard every word Olga said and as she turned to go he jumped in the window and alighted on the table.

But you win get your punishment right now. You think of nothing but fine clothes, and are stealing Ada’s pretty feathers now. Well, I will make you a bird and one with a ruffle for life.“ The Goblin opened the bottle and threw some of the liquid on Olga. In t moment she was inclosed in a white mist that rolled about her, changing to gold and pink, then floated away And there on the floor, instead of the handsome Princess, was a Russian grouse, and about its neck was a high ruffle of feathers, (Copyright by the MoClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Mineral Water Versus Tea. 1 Chinese in Manchuria, according to information coming across 81- beria, are becoming very fond of min- eral waters. They are an economical, not to say parsimonious, race, and wed- ded to tea since the days of Confucius. Manufacturers of the mineral waters were discouraged at first and were told there was absolutely no demand. But they set to work and made the demand. Now great business is beginning to ac- crue. More than 2000 dozens of bottles of areated waters came into the port of Dairen last year, including 11,000 dozens of lemonade, 1000 of a drink called cider—not real apple cider, of course and 2000 dozens of soda water In adédi- tion the Dalren refrigeratory turned out 22,000 dozen bottles of “cider” and & small ocean of mineral water for Chinese absorption, called ‘Longevity and Wealth.“ The Murukami works at Dairen made 96,000 dozen bottles of this aerated “cl- der.” The tea merchants are getting seriously alarmed. — — AN EASY WAY TO HEAL YOUR SKIN TROUBLE Resinol ee — resinol 808 te instantly, quic sad caddy heals the mach Shama cases of eczema, heat-rash, ringworm or similar tormenting skin eruptions, and clears away blackheads, redness, dandruff, when other have proven only a waste of time and money.

In the summer the fam- ily went to the country, where they had a little rural home. Every member of the family loved the country and threw off all the shackles of city life when they went there, There- fore, they enjoyed it to the full and were sorry when it came time to go back to town. It was a nice, hospitable family. It had many friends whom it invited to join in the rural ‘pastimes, Now, it came to pass that the mother had a woman friend who lived alone in O's upon a time here was a nice house party, she thought she would in- clude the woman who lived alone, hop- ing thereby to benefit her by the little outing. She wrote her an invitation. An acceptance came from the lone woman, but with a few conditions. “Really, dear,” she wrote, “I could not possibly leave old Tabby, nor Dickey the bird; and, of course, you won't mind if I bring my own bread the doo- tor has prescribed, because any other kind of bread is poisonous to me, The destens, being a kindly woman, end wanting her friend to enjoy her visit, agreed to the foibles. When the visitor arrived her head ached, and she was “just worn to death” For she had to carry the bird cage and Tabby, and her best hat, which would not go inte the trunk. Thus, when she arrived at the heuse she just begged to go to bed, and really couldn’t come dewn to dinner with the family. The next morning she stole into the kitchen and ruffled the cook by in- sisting on making her coffee her “own way.” At linch time it devel- oped she did not eat any meat and only certain kinds of vegetables which were not on the table; and thus caused no little worry to the hostess lest her guest might not find enough to eat. In the afternoon when it was arranged for the house party to enjoy tennis, this woman had to give Tabby a bath and asked that she be “excused.” When it came near bed time the visitor explained that she was afraid she would not be able to sleep as she did not have her “regular massage.“ The next morning it was found that the birds in the trees had awakened her, and she was not used to the “early morning light.” And would the hostess mind if she telephoned to town for her masseuse to come the following night so she might get some sleep? A bed had to be found for the mas- seuse, ag the last train to town left too late, The visitor pleaded that the masseuse might stay a couple of days. And this was not all. The guest never fell in with any fun that was planned. She was always busy catering to her hobbies. The hostess and her guests had te count her out in their calcula- tions as ope of them. There was always something the matter with her. Not only this, but she was everlast- ingly preaching about her doctrines. It was dissipation to stay up late. Or there was a tirade against eating meat; or the religion of somebody was wrong. In a word, before the party was over, she had everybody in a fighting mood, and the poor hostess was worn out in her endeavor to make pleasure for the disagree- able person in the house. The blow finally came when the little boy of the family unconsciously fell on Tabby. Tabby’s mistress was very angry and said things. And some kind guest, in a polite way, was compelled to convey to the visitor that her stay might better be short- ened for the good of all concerned, to save the nerves of the hostess and the peace of the party. This was a blow to the woman as, seemingly, she had not seen herself as others saw her.

For instance, we all have cretins in our throats, on either side of the Adam's apple, a tiny gland scarcely larger than a finger joint, which ts called the thyroid gland. The function of this: gland has been for years ob- scure, but it has been noted that when it is undeveloped,. or its secretions are defective, persons so afflicted are inva- riably, to a greater or less degree, dwarf idiots. Such persons are spoken of as being and the disease is cretinism, which is the result of impaired nutri- tion following upon the absence of or loss of function of this little gland. This gland may be absent from birth, or it may becomé atrophied following some severe fever. Such persons often have @ goiter, which is really a swollen thyroid gland. The signs of oretinism in young chil- dren may be noticed as early in life as the end of the first year. The tongue seems o hang from the mouth, their hair is thin and dry, teeth are delayed in coming and the abdomen is swollen. Women oftener have this disease than men. This disorder has existed for years, being common in certain localities. in the Swiss Alps and in Derbyshire, En- land, there are many cases of cretin- ism. The reason for these manifesta- tions there has been given that it is due to some distinct quality in the drinking water. | Dogs, even, have well-developed goiter. Besides affecting the brain, the defective thyroid gland affects the legs and arma dwarfing their growth and making bowed legs. ~ Things Affecting the Brain Laboratory workers, those magicians of today—having been given the cause have produced the remedy, and it is #0 simple that one wonders why it was so long in coming. — Knowing cretinism to be the result of defective secretion of the thyroid gland, they have taken the thyroid gland from the sheep, have dried it and powdered it. and now doses of that are given ta cretins.

HORTLY after the war began, for- mer Senator Beveridge went to Europe to study its causes. He visited Germany, France and Engjand, not to mention various neutral countries, and was on both the eastern and west- ern battle fronts. He talked with the leading statesmen and financiers of each nation and, because of the official relation he had but recently held with the Government of the he was givén unusual facilities every- where to gather the information he sought. He reported the results of his investigations in a series of articles printed in the Saturday Evening Post, Collier’s Weekly and other periodicals. These articles, considerably expanded and revised, are now issued in a volume under the title, What Is Back of the War. As the Senator puts it, his chief mis- sion was to get at the thought behind the war“ and his conversations in the belligerent countries covered every class of society, with the result that every possible viewpoint is represented in this very interesting book. As a final chapter, the Senator sets fortii an entertaining series of conclu- sions based on his observations. He foresees the democratizing of most of Europe: „Zach step in the neutral investigat- or's study leads to the conclusion that one consequence of the war is reason- ably probable. No matter which side is triumphant, it is not unlikely that the world will behold in the countries at war and, indeed, in all European countries except Rusgia, an immeas- urable advance of democracy, expressed in terms of collectivism. „Russia is excepted because of the na- ture of her culture, her peculiar mis- gion, and the still comparatively uned- ucated state of her masses. Even Rus- sia may be affected by the popular up- heaval; but no one can rredict this with any such likelihoed as marks England, Germany and France. Russia's destiny, speaking by and large, would seem to be toward the east. Her peculiar culture is a curious vet not inharmonious blending of occi- dental tendencies and habits of thought. “Se er 0 “As to Russia’s position after the war, the only thing that can be said with certainty is that jf the allies are suc- cessful Russia will be the one great predominant military power of the world. No decree of peace can prevent that result. Russia is a world within herself. No force from the outside fun- damentally affects her, nothwithstand- ing surface appearance to the contrary.” What of the vast armies after the war? He thus states the problem: “When.thé army is disbanded, what will become of the soldier ho had a job at the time he énlisted, when he goes back and finds hig place filled—and it will be filled, for it must be remem- bered that there are more laborers in England than there are jobs, and that the immense majority of British work- ingmen have not gone to the front. “Will the returned workingman be given his old place? If so, what will the man do who finds himself thus thrust out of employment? “And what of the multitude of volun- teers who had no jobs and come back to enforced idleness and poverty? They have been paid, fed, clothed, cared for, during the war. When they lay aside their uniforms and hand over to the Government their rifles, may they not say something like this: ““T was willing to fight for the coun- try and the Government cared for me while I, was doing it, now I am willing to work for the eountry and the Gov- ernment must care for me while I am SS SUBURBAN PROPERTY FOR SALE MISCELLANEOUS ses PROPERTY —For sale, 1 niile weet of Clay- ton; room house, ot 100x190; large chicken house: must II. „ Felmlee, Clayton, — * hs st Snorage Veh) WESSTER PLN LLL OL LAL LOL LLL ad Sli, CALI.

In the first place, they were not discontented when the war closed; end in the next place, our country was sparsely peo- pled (and still is, compared to European countries), and then there was an abun- dance of free land. Our republic was undeveloped and there was employment as well as land for all. “Great Britain has a somewhat sim- lor, though distant, cutlet for En- giand’s mass of probable discontent, and to this the more optimistic English thinkers look with hope and confidence. Such men believe that the disbanding of the army will be followed by large emigration of discharged soldiers and their families to Canada end Australia.” The leaven of democracy pervades all Germany: In Germany. this democratic spirit was manifest at the very beginning. It was illustrated in dramatic fashion by the throngs of men not calléd to the cclors who demanded to be taken. When the war has passed into history this neglected but picturesque and meaning- ful circumstance will make a thrilling chapter in the history of this greatest or all wars, “The democratic spirit of Germany was quickly voiced from trench, battery pit and battlefield. Uncountable letters from soldiers at the front expressed ic and a multitude of verses written by all sorts and conditions of men, from blacksmiths and bricklayers to scientist and writer, gave verbal form to the German poetic instinct. For example, consider the following lines of a Ger- man war poem: “"The same coat and our rights the same, Comrades—forgotten rank and name: The same wage and the same bread, In sleep and death the self-same bed, For one as for the other.’ “This new advance of democracy, in the belligerent nations, is being vital- ized by a spirit of self-sacrifice and mutual helpfulness new to the modern and Germany, nobody, it seems, is thinking of himself or herself, hardly of his or her family. The human sym- pathy of each man afid woman raised to the heights of exaltation is both in- dividual and collective; it flows out not only to each needy and suffering one, but also spreads to the whole commu- nity and to the nation. “In Germany and France no one thinks. of asking, ‘What can I do for myself,” but ‘What can I do for others?’ Their joy is in giving.” (Bobbs-Mer- rill.) a MARRIAGE LICENSES, Cla Steph See e e a 1 Tatum 613 N.

COURT CONTROL ALLEGED Exploitation of Women and Chil- dren and Employment of Gun- men Among the Findings. By Associated Press. . KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 21.—Admis- siotis of bribery of courts and Legisla- tures, conspiracy, the exploitation of women and children, the employment oi gunmen, the suppression of free speech and the commission of other social crimes against labor, are made in that part of the report to Congress framed by Harris Weinstock, Richard H. Aish- ton and 8. Thurston Ballard of the United States Commission of Industrial Relations, according to a statement given out here yesterday by Frank P. Walsh, chairrnan cf the commission. The commission's reports to Congress, of which there are three, were signed in Chicago recently by the dissenting groups of the commission. The commis- sion was made up of three representa- tives each of the public, the employers and the employed. Ballard, Weinstock and Aishton were the representatives of the employers.

The charges against emplovers, made by the employérs’ representatives on the commission, according to Walsh, include the following: “That they have resorted to question- able methods to prevent their workers from organizing.”’ That they have attempted to defert democracy by more or less auccessfully controlling courts and legislatures.“ ‘That they have exploited women and children and unorganized workers.“ “That they have resorted to all sorts ef methods to prevent the enactment of remedial legislation.” “That they have employed gunmen in strikes who were disreputable charac- ters and who assauited innocent people and committed other crimes most rep- rehensible in character.“ That they have paid lower wages than competitive conditions warranted.” That they have worked their people long hours and under nun and dangerous conditions.“ That they have exploited prison labor at the expense of free labor.“ That they have been contract break - ers with labor.“ “That they have attempted, through the authorities, to suppress free speech and the right of peaceful assembly.” “That they have deliberately, and for selfish ends, bribed representatives of | labor.” : “And that all of these things tend to produce industrial unrest with all its consequent and far-reaching IIS.“ Right to Strike Defendéd. „We feel, with organized labor, that there should be no restriction put upon thé right to strike, realizing as we do hat the strike is the only weapon which, in the interest of labor, can be effec- tively and legally used to aid in bet- tering its conditions.“ In addition to these -charges against the employers, the employers’ represen- tatives, in their report? says according to Walsh: When labor is effectiveiy, organized it has two most powerful ‘weapons at its command that the employer, as Aa rulé, dreads and fears because of the great damage these weapons can inflict on him, namely: The strike and the pri- mary boyeott, both of which are within the moral and legal rights of the work- er to use. “We say frankly that if we were wage- earners we would be unionists, and as unionists we would feel the keen re- sponsibility of giving the same attention to our trade union duties as to our civic duttes.“ Walsh's statement was in answer to a statement issued recently by Weinstock, dealing with the dissension of the Com- missionérs as to the reports, Walsh said.

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 21.—Dr. Charles John Finlay, who first propounded the tneory that yellow fever was propa- gated by the mosquito, died here yes- terday. He was 82 years old. Dr. Finlay, son of Dr. Edward Finlay, was born in Puerto Principe. He re- ceived his medical education in France and at the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. At first his theory of mosquito origin of yellow fever and other diseases was scoffed at. BERLIN, Aug. 21.—Dr. Paul Ehrlich, discoverer of salvarsan and of the anti- toxin for diphtheria, died, suddenly of heart disease at Bad Homburg, at the age of 61 years. He was noted also as an expert in the treatment of cancer. Half of the Nobel prize for medicine was awarded to him in 1908. Dr. Ehrlich was chief of the German Government's institute at Frankfort. At the International Medical Congress in London in 1913 Dr. Ehrlich was intro- duced by Sir Malcolm Morris as the greatest exponent of modern pathology in the civilized world.“ The second class of the Red Eagle, with the star, was coyferred upon him in 1914 by Emperor William and he was awarded the Cameron prize by Edin- burgh University in the same vear.

It was hoped by the Post-Dispatch and its little co-workers in the caute that $3000 would have been the sum rolled uo by the end of last week. A week has been added to that period and the goal named is still slightly ahead. Put for the unusual drawbeck imposed by the weather there is no doubt in the minds of those acquainted with the plans and purposes of the great army of children arrayed on the side of the babies that far more than §3000 would have been available for relief demanas by this time. The campaign has, how- ever, merely been delayed by condt- tions, and not completely upset. - Young Fetks Organise Benefit.
