PAYS COSTS OF 65791 Motion for Appeal From Ruling Against New Trial Must Be Filed by Oct. 2 Mrs. Rosa V. Curtis of 2641 Nebraska avenue, sister of-the late James Camp- bell, and one of the plaintiffs in the re- cent suit to break the multi-millionaire’s will, today filed a motion in the Circuit Court by which she withdrew from the case and revoked the power of attorney which she had given to Lv F. Ottofy, at- torney for the contestants. Mrs. Curtis deposited, with the cashier of the Circuit Clerk’s office, her check for $791, and stated that this covered the total bill for costs in the case. Hereafter, she stated in the motion, no one is authorized by her to take any appeal from the recent decision of a jury in Judge Kinsey’s court. This jury, May 6, declared Lois Campbell Burk- ham to be the daughter of James Camp- bell, and upheld the will in favor of Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Burkham and Mrs. Burkham’s heirs, and, ultimately, St. Louis University. Have Till Oct. to Appeal. Judge Kinsey, soon after the trial, re- fused -an application for a new trial. No appeal has thus far been filed. Under the law, an appeal can be taken until Oct. 2, when the present term of court ends. Six of Campbell’s nephews and nieces. living in Cincinnati, were the other plaintiffs in the will contest, which had the legal title of Margaret C. Harrison and others against Mrs. Florence A. Campbell and others.“ Mrs. Curtis particularly asks that her name be withdrawn from Ottofy’s mo- tion for a retaxing of the costs in the Campbell case, which were assessed against the plaintiffs. This motion was filed last Saturday. In this motion Ot- tofy objects to the payment of witne+s fees to seven witnesses who were sum moned, but not called to testify, and for two others, who, he says, were proper- ly summoned only for the February term, and not for the April term of court. He also objects to expenses for depositions of James D. Mortimer, Wil- liam Nelson Cromwell and others whose depositions were taken, but not used as evidence. 2 — Why She Withdrew. When seen by a Post-Dispatch re- porter at her home today, Mrs. Cur- tis was sitting on the front porch, holding in her hand the bill for the court costs in the Campbell case. “The other plaintiffs all lived out of town,” she said, “and they brought the whole bill to the widow. I did not care to be lable for further costs in the case.” Mrs. Curtis said she had not been influenced in any way by James Campbell’s widow, or other defend- ants. Her only reason for withdraw- ing, she said, was that she did not care to pay additional costa. L. Frank Ottofy, counsel for the plaintiffs in the Campbell will contest case, refused to discuss Mrs. Curtis’ withdrawal.

DELIBERATED 3 MINUTES Conclusion Reached Quickly Aft- er Examining Persns on Sce.ne After the Death. .MARIETTA, Ga., Aug. 24.—Without being able to elicit from any one of 11 witnesses a single clew as to the identity of any person connected with the lynching of Leo M. Frank near this city a week ago this morning, a Coro- ner’s jury today returned a verdict that Frank came to his death by hanging ac the hands of parties unknown. City and county officials testified that they had endeavored diligent!y to get at the facts of. the lynching, but so far their efforts had been of no eavail. The jury as out only three minutes. “Of course you know these things are kept pretty close and sre hard to find cut,“ said Mayor E. P. Dobbs of Mari- etta. Deputy Sheriff Hicks and City Marshal Looney stated that they were vorking hard on the case, but at this time could throw no light on the iden- tity of the men who rarticipated in the lynching. The nearest disclosures as to what happened in the oak grove near the Frey cotton gin came from J. A. Benson, a Marietta merchant, whe drove by the place soon after the lynching party had parked its automobiles Ly the roadside and had led Frank to the tree where Ceath awaited him. Benson said he had a “pretty good suspicion” as to what was going on, but he did not stop to see ii and he did not recognize anybody in the party. Text of Jury’s Verdict. The text of the jury’s verdict was as follows: State of Georgie, Cobb County. In accordance with the inquisition taken this 17th day of August, 1915, and eompleted this gatbh day t August. 1915, before John A. Booth, Coraner of said County, upon the body »f Leo M. Frank, who was hanged by the neck until dead in a cluster of woods about two miles exst of Marietta, in said county, and near what is known as W. J. Frey's gin on the Roswell public road, upon the oath of Dr. W. H. Perkinson, J. Ns Gantt, J. A. G. Heard, B. V. Greer, J. F. Shaw and G. A. Griffin, sworn xccording to law as jurors, and charged by John A. Booth to inquire when and how and in what manner the said Leo M. Frank came to death: that the said jurors aforesaid make ord return the following presentments in reference to the aforesaid matters and things con- cerning which we were sworn to inquire by the said John A. Pooth, Coroner. We attach the evidence issued at this inquest to this, our inquis‘tion and make the same a part of it. We, the jurors aforesaid, upon our oath say that Leo M. Frank did on the 17th day of August, 1915, in said county, come to his death by being hanged by the neck until dead, by unknown par- ties. Goes to Grand Jury Sept. 1. Mrs. G. W. Ayers, who lives near the Frey gin, said she saw nothing unusual the morning of the lynching. Wore you told by anybody not to stay about the front of the house that morn- ing?” “No, sir, there has been a report like that, but it wasn’t true.“ J. A. Benson, a Marietta merthant, kriown as “Gus’’ Benson, was the next witness. He drove in from the country soon after the lynching party passed the Frey place. “Driving on into town, I saw three or four cars parked near the Frey gin,“ said Mr. Benson. “Did you stop? “No, sir.“ What did you see?” I saw one man step out of one of the cars: “Did you recognize him?“ No, sir,” he said emphatically. “Did you recognize anybody in any of the cars?“ “No, sir, I was going pretty fast.“ “Well, where did you get the idea that Frank had been hanged there at the gin?“ “From the cars there and what I heard when I passed the Frey tlace.”’ : “It was a guess, then?“ Well, sir. when I came by the Frey place, Bill called to me that he thought there was something doing. I had seen in the morning paper what had happened at the prison farm. So it all excited my suspicion.“ “Did you see again or recognize any, of the machines you passed at the gin?’ No, sir.“ g City Marshal Testifies. P. H. Looney, City Marshal of Ma- rietta, said he knew nothing of the lynching until after the body was dis- covered. | “You are bending your best efforts to discover who took part in this transac- tion?” suggested Dorsey. “Yes, sir.” “Well, is there any light you can throw on the situation at this time?” “No, sir, this transaction was really outside the city limits, but we are co- day night to indicate that the people who did this thing came from Mari- etta?” “No, sir; I saw nothing unusual or suspicious last Monday night, al- meet | was so oute 5S ayor Thought Story «a Heax.

In any event, the Arabic was a British ship, within the war zone and was on the way to obtain another cargo of war material. She carried a large amount of gold in payment of war sup- plies. „The fact that most of the passengers and crew were saved and that there was ample time to lower the boats and put all on board, shows there was no catastrophe.

I met Deputy Sheriff Hicks,“ said the Mayor, “and asked him about it. He said he knew nothing. I suggestd that we get a car and go out to the Frey gin, although I thought at the time that when we got back the townfolk would have a good laugh on us. I did not believe we would find Frank, but when We got near the oak thicket, there he was hanging by the neck. “Deputy Sheriff Hicks took charge of the situation. We have done all in our power to find out who composed the party that hanged Frank. I told Mar- shal Looney to instruct the entire police force to get all the information possible and to report to me the slightest clew.“ Have you received a report?’ No, sir; not yet.” Is there anything else you would Uke to say?“ I have seen in the pa- pers that a lot of automobiles were missing from Marietta the morning of the lynching. The truth is we did not miss a single one. I have no idea whether Marietta people or country peo- ple were engaged in this transaction. „Hard to Find Out.” “I do not believe. the rietta people are any more responsibie for ¢ghis than the people of the county or any other county. We don’t know who did this. It may have been people from another county who brought Frank to this county. We are doing all we can, gen- tlemen, bit, of course, you know, these things are hard to find out.“ Charles Mell and W. L. Gray were on the scene of the lynching soon after it happened, but saw no one connected with it. Gray said he saw automobiles “going both ways“ along the road early in the morning, but. paid no attention to them, Deputy Sheriff Hicks stated to the jury that he and Sheriff Swanson were doing all in their power to dis- cover the persons engaged in the transaction.“ He said he searched Ma- rietta the day of the lynching, but could find no cars that bore evidence of hav- ing been on a long journey. The lynching will be officially called to the attention of the Cobb County grand jury, Sept. 1. When the time for the jury to as- semble arrived the Coroner decided to transfer the inquest to the County Courthouse to accommodate the large crowd. Attorney John T. Dorsey of Marietta represented the State of Geor- gia. Gordon Gann acted as special at- torney for Coroner Booth. Saw Halt a Desen Persons, Dr. C. D. Eider, the first witness called to the stand, testified to view- ing the body of Frank when it- was cotton gin.

Kemp testified that Frank’s death was due to strangulation. Ex-Sheriff Frey on Stand. ‘ W. J. Frey, owner of the place on which Frank was lynched and regarded as the star witness of the inquest, next Was sworn. Frey, an ex-Sheriff of the county, took the stand in his shirt sleeves, Tou were among the first to discover the body?“ asked Acting Solicitor Dor- sey. Well, sir, when « got there with Gus Benson and Walter Gann, there wasn't anybody in the grove but Leo M. Frank.“ “When did you first know anything happened that morning?“ “I think it was about 5 o’clock that morning that my brother telephoned me the State prison farm had been broken into and Frank taken out.“ “What did you do, then?” “Didn't do anything, but went on about my business at home. Walter Gann, a trav- eling man from Augusta, was visiting my place. I live right on the main road. Mr. Gann and I were in the field about 6:30 or 7 o’clock when threa or four automobiles came whizzing by the place. They were about 40 yards apart.“ “Going Along Pretty Pert.” “How fast were they going?” „Well, sir, they were going along pretty, pert: 1 should say 25 or 30 miles an hour.” “Then what happened?” well, sir, having heard about the break at thy prison farm, it, popped right into my mind there was something doing in the way of Frank.“ Frey said the man he afterward found out was Frank was seated in the rear seat of one of the passing cars with a man on each side of him. How was Frank dressed?" Looked as if he had on a thin shirt of some sort. He was bareheaded."’ “Did you know at the time this man was Frank?“ 1 thought it was him, but I could not recognize him.“ “Did you recognize any of the other parties in the cars?“ No, sir.” “Do you know now who they were?’ “No, sir.“ Were they masked?" No, sir, but they all wore goggles and their faces were covered with red dust.“ “What did you do next?” “I turned to Walter Gann, and said: ‘Let’s go to the house, there’s something to be do- ing.“ We went to the house and Mrs. Frey had breakfast ready for us ir about five minutes. We ate and I got my car started and we put out for Ma- rietta.”’ Frey said he passed the actual scene of the hanging without noticing any- thing out of the way. How He Found the Body. “I had no idea anything had happened that close to my home. 80 I come on to town, but did not see anything yet. I went to the cemetery, where Mary Thagan is buried, but there was noth- ing there. I came back into Marietta, and met Gus Ben- In, who said: ‘Bill, those automobiles turned into the road by your gin.' I drove right back to the gin, and when we reached the oak grove there was the body of Frank ‘hanging.’ j did you do then?” “I looked at “What him, but did not put my hands en ‘i him,” KENNETH DOUGLAS JOHN J.

The German version of the Riga bat- tle has not yet been given out, but ths definiteness of the official report on the sinking or crippling of the German vattle cruiser Moltke, two other cruis- ers, and eight torpedo boats has sent a wave of enthusiasm throughout the country and dispelled the depression over the Russian retreat on iand. The -latest communication from the Russian War Office places the German losses in the Gulf of Riga as follows: One battle cruiser, two light cruisers and not less than eight torpedo boat destroyers placed hors d' combat. Some of the latter sank.“ Reuter’s Petrograd correspondent says that a semi-official statement issued there adds another auxiliary cruiser to the previous list of the German losses in the Gulf of Riga. German Transports Reported Sunk. From details of the attempted German landing in the Gulf of Riga last Saturday, as published in the Novo Vremya, it appears, says a dis- patch from Petrograd to the Central News, that three large transports filled with troops approached the shore under cover of a German squadron. The German ships were allowed.to come close to land before a terrific artillery fire was opened by the Russians. A duel between the cruisers and shore batteries contin- ued for two hours before the last transport was sunk. Only a few crowded boats then remained and these soon were smashed to pieces by the Russian fire. The German squadron managed to destroy some houses with their long range guns. During the attempt to land at Pearnoff, the Germans also descended on Gainash to the south. Two lighters filled with troops at- tempting to reach the beach at Gai- nash were sunk by Russian shells. A dispatch to the Morning Post from Petrograd says: In addition to the German losses previously reported in the Riga battle, a German submarine was run ashore on the coast of Dago Island tin the Baltic Sea, just outside the Gulf of Riga) and doubtless also is lost. Germans Admit Loss of a Destroyer * Off Zeebrugtge. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 2%--An official report of the German admiralty re- ceived here says: “Off Zeebrugge Sunday night a Ger- man outpost boat was attacked by ‘wo hostile destroyers.

LONDON, Zug. 4.—The Danish lega- tion at Berlin, according to a Reuter dispatch from Copenhagen, has received from the German Secretary of State a note containing an apology and expres- sion of sincere regret for the violation of neutrality involved in an attack upon a British submarine (E13) within the ter- ritorial waters of Denmark. The note states that renewed and emphatic in- structions have been issued to command- ers of German war vessels to respect neutral rights. Three Men Lost When British Traw- ler Is Destroyed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. A. — The new American note to Great Britain on in- terference with neutral trade probably will be redrafted because of the British erder making cotton contraband. The rote Rad been virtually completed. It now will be altered and probably will treat at length the question of the validity under internationai law of Great Britain’s latest action. While there is no intention to aban- don the claims for payment for cotton seized prior to the British order, those cases now have a different status, and 4 complete record of this phase of the dispute can be prepared and presented. Cases under the contraband order must all go before British prize courts, and there will be no informal negotiations, as there have been in connection with previous seizures. The new American note it is under- stood will lodge formal protest against the placing of cotton on the contraband list and a lengthy diplomatic exchange probably will follow. It is considered likely by some officials here that, the dispute eventually will be settled by ar- bitration. Cotton Shippers Reassured. Reassurance to cotton shippers that their cargoes for neutrals will not be confiscated if they come within the normal consumption un- der the recent decree of the allies that cotton is contraband, was given in a statement issued today at the British embassy as follows: “It is a misapprehension to sup- pose that the declaration of cotton to be contraband will further re- strict those consignments of cotton to neutral countries which are proved to be exclusively destined for the normal consumption of those coutries. The embassy had no au- thority, however, to give any assur- ance as to the immunity of particu- lar shipments, but under the pro- cedure of international law relating to absolute contraband evidence of ultimate enemy destination will be necessary to the condemnation of cotton as a lawful prize.“ While the new formal note is in prep- aration State Department officials are continuing their informal efforts to ob- tain the release of millions of dollars’ worth of German and Austrian goods consigned to the United States now being held up: at Rotterdam and other neutral ports as a result of the Brit- ish order in council. Private Interests Favored. Unofficiial representations to Great Britain havo been authorized in an et- fort to bring forth a further statement of the conditions under which these goods may be shipped without inter- ference by the British fleet. Particularly officials here seek to learn the truth concerning reports that pprivate interests in England have been arranging for the movement of certain consignments when the efforts of the State Department’s foreign trade advis- ers to obtain permits for the shipment of similar goods have been unavailing since June 15. An effort will be made to have all shipments released handled through the foreign trade advisers, acting unofficial- US-TOREDRAFT | 23 AIRE FACTS ABOUT f AMERICANS LOST ON ARABIC * — , —«— —ꝗͤ ] ‚— genes ö * daun Bruguiere Was Society Leader of Newport and Paris Dr. Woods Born in England but Was Naturalized American. - United States and Germany.

Morgan & Co. and with which Sather vias associated when he came to San Francisco. Bruguiere was ap employe of the bank and it was ir this capacity that he first met Miss Josephine Sather, who, later, became his wife. Mrs. Bruguiere was born in New York about 65 years ago. She came to San Francisco with her father when she was a little girl. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Bruguicre made their homes at 624 Sutter street, later build- ing a residence at 1800 Franklin street, where the family ved until about 10 years ago, when Mrs. Bruguiere went tc New York. She acquired a villa at Newport, dividing her time between there and San Francisco until she went to Paris, where, in later years, she also maintained an establishment. It was shared by her sons, Emile A. and Louis S., the latter of whom was with her on the Arabic when she lost her life. Her sons were bor in this city. Besides those mentioned. there are Dr. Pedar Sather Bruguiere and Francis J. Hrugulere, both of whom are residents cf this city. Her son, Emile, is noted composer and has been knighted by the French Government. He is now an at- tendant at one of the war hospitals in Paris. Mrs. Bruguiere’s last Visit to San Francisco was about six years ago. It was after the great fire and the city seemed so different to her that she re- mained only a day, returning to New- port. Before she established her home in the east she was a leader of local scciety and the Bruguiere home on Franklin street was the scene of some or the most pretentious social gather- ings San Francisco has experienced. — Dr, Woods a Practicing Physician at Janesville for 25 Years. JANESVILLE, Wis., Aug. 24.—It is be- lieved here that Dr. Edmond F. Woods of Janesville died in his stateroom on the Arabic and never had a chance to leave the vessel. In a letter from London to Mrs. Woods, mailed by her husband shortly before sailing, a chart was enclosed, showing the location of the doctor’s stateroom, near the part of the vessel where the missile struck. The doctor was in poor health. Dr. Woods has been a practicing phy- sician and surgeon in this city the last % years. He came here from England when he was 2 boy and received his ed- ucation in the Rock County schools and land, where he became connected with for his musical talent ¢nd ability as a at the University of Wisconsin. He took out his second naturalization pa- pers 15 years ago. His wife is an active member of sév- eral of the women's organizations of the cjty. They have no children. Both the doctor’s parents are dead and he has only one close relative. a halfbrother. John E. Fritchett of this city. The doctor was in Europe when the war started and remained there some time doing work in hospitals. He re- turned to Janesville and put his busi- ness in shape for a longer stay in Bu- rope, departing again last May for En- one of the large base hospitals. At one time he was offered charge of a large field hospital in France, but declined because he lacked a thorough knowl. edge of the French language. 2 He did not join the Red Cross So- clety because that would have necessi- tated enlisting for several years, which he did not wish to do. It has been Dr. Woods’ practice to return to England each year for the last 15 years té visit relatives near London and to gain knowledge of surgical prac- tice by work in the London hospitals. A letter was received by his wife last week in which he said he would re- turn to Janesville, sailing on the Arabic on Wednesday. It is thought that he intended to put his affairs in shape and return to En- gland to stay for an indefinite period. “FRIENDS OF PEACE” IN ROW OVER ARABIC CASE Publicity Agent’s Statement Critis- ing Americans Who Were Lost Re- pudiated by Soctety’s President.

Woods and Mrs. Josephine L. Bruguiere, who were lost with the Arabic. John Brisben Walker, national head of the organization, re- pudiated the statement when it was shown to him by a reporter and de- manded that Rutherford recall it. Rutherford attempted to explain that the statement had been sanctioned by Henry Weismann, president of the Ger- man-American Alliance, a leader in the “Friends of Peace,“ in the belief that Walker had approved the statement. It pointed out that Mrs. Brugulere re- cently had spent most of her time in France and England and that Dr. Woods was born in England and had been doing work in French and English hos- pitals.

BOSTON, Aug. 24.—The welcome of the State and city was extended to Governors and formey Governors of more than thirty states by Gov. David I. Walsh and Mayor James M. Curley at the opening session of the Governors’ conference in the Senate chamber at the State House today. Gov. Walsh said that while the found- ers of the nation had hedged in the executive with limitations that tended to reduce him to an ornamental figure- head, it was becomihg generally under- stood of late that the business effi- vlency indispensable for good govern- ment could be obtained only by concen- trating power and responsibility to a far greater degree than the fathers planned. Responses were made by Gov. WII liam Spry of Utah and Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard University, the latter representing the conference on universities and public service held in conjunction with the Governors’ meeting. The first formal Address of the session was made by former Gov. Elias M.

HOME TELLS STORY Ralph Brumbaugh Admits Infi- delity; Makes Counter Charges Against Wife. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Aug. %.—The marital me- moirs of Ralph Brumbaugh were given today in the form of an answer to Mrs. Katherine Brumbaugh’s bill for separate maintenance. The answer is a sort of admonition to dwellers in glass apart- ments not to throw bricks. In the first paragraph Brumbaugh neither admits nor denies his intimacy with Margaret Schuetzel, alias Mrs. Al- len, alias Mrs. Millahr. He also neither admits nor denies that he has main- tained a double home and that he is known as Julius Millahr. Then he readjusts his attitude in the document and pleads guilty to the in- fidelity charge, but adds that there also is one George Butler, formerly the Brumbaugh chauffeur. Mrs. Brum- baugh expects Butler to testify at the trial to Brumbaugh’s cruelty. But the furniture dealer says he came home unexpectedly on Oct. 12, last year, and found his wife and Butler together. He avers he ordered them out, where- upon they jumped on him. Whatever oruelty he inflicted on his wife, the an- swer reads, he inflicted in sélf-defense and to put her and Butler gut of the residence. Mrs. Brumbaugh says he broke her nose and smashed her ribs and sent her to a hospital for a month. And then he inserted this advertisement in a Chi- cago newspaper: “What is home with- out a wife!“ He adds that Mrs. Brum- baugh had gone to her mother and he had te get rid of all his “elegant fur- niture at a sacrifice.”’ Mrs. Brumbaugh returned from the hospital a month later to effect a recon- ciliation, Brumbaugh’s tale of the reconciliation, however, differs from the story told by his wife. He affirms that he confessed ali his sins to her and she confessed her misdeeds to him. And each promised to be good so they might live happy ever after. Since the reconciliation aſſd Mrs. Brumbaugh’s condonement of his acts, he asserts, he merely has supported Margaret Schuetsel and their two chil- dren, with Mrs. Brumbaugh’s knowledge and gonsent. —— It HELPS a man in BUSINESS to OWN A HOME.

MORE SECRET BELGI * Letters-of Belgian Minister to Berlin Written in 1912 and 1913 Printed in Germany Refer to Russia’s Balkan Policy. KEEPING UP DOUBLE; © DOCUMENTS PUBLISHED) BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, Aug. 2%4.—The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeit- ung has published further extracts from secret documents found by the Germans on taking possession of Brussels. ‘The latest installment deals with the period of the Balkan wars. The Overseas News Agenty in a summary given out for publication says: “Concerning Russia’s policy, the Bel- gian Minister to Berlin (Baron Beyens), in a letter written on Oct. 24. 1912, re- beats statements made by Jules Cambon, then French Ambassador at Berlin, writ- ing as follows: The French Ambassador, who appar- ently has special reasons for speak- ing as he ‘does, told me repeatedly that the greatest danger to the maintenance of Eurdpean peace was the lack of dis- Russian diplomats in foreign countries. They are all ardent Pan-Slavists, and they have largely to carry the burden of responsibility for present events. They will, without doubt, secretly insti- gate Russian intervention in the Balkan conflict.’ “Arrogance of Servians.” 22 Ambassador wrote on April 4, „The azrogance and contempt with which the Servians receive the com- plaints of the Vienna Government can be understood only by reason of the support they hope to find in Peters- burg. The Servian Charge @’Affaires here said recently that his Government | would not have maintained fts attitude of the last. six months, without regard to Austrian representations, if it had not been éncouraged to do so by the Russian Minister, M. Hartwig, a diplo- matist of Iwolsky’s school. @inline and the personal conduct of 1 ——— — — — —— SECRETARY M’ADOO WII AID COTTON GROWERS IF NECESSARY Plan for Deposit of $30,000,000 Gold in Banks to Help Market Crop to Advantage. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2%4.—Secretary McAdoo is prepared to extend financial sid to the Southern cotton growers to enable them jo dispose of their product to the greatest advantage. The Secretary announced yesterday, from his summer home in Maine, that, in view of action of the allies in mak- ing cotton contraband, he was ready, if necessary, to take either one of two courses to help the cotton producers. One of these plans is to deposit $30,000,000 or more of gold in Federal reserve banks at Atlantg, Dallas and Richmond, to enable those banks to rediscount loans on cotton secured by warehouse re- ceipts, made by national and state banks belonging to the reserve system. No interest would be charged on the de- posits for the present at least. The other plan is to deposit the gold directly with national banks agreeing to lend the money on cotton at a rate not to exceed 6 per cent. The latter plan will be used if the object sought can be accomplished with greater effi- Clency thereby. Secretary McAdoo declared that if there was co-operation of bankers, mer- chants and producers, the cotton situa- tion could be handled with happy re- sults.

The Massachusetts Bonding and Insur- ance Co., and the American Bonding Co. filed suit in the Circuit Court this morning against the Board of Education and 22 material supply which furnished materia] for the Grover Cleve- land High School, asking for an ac- counting and an injunction to restrain them from proceeding with suits and from bringing other suits against the * companies growing out of the building of the school. The bonding companies set out in their petition that the contract for the building was let in December, 1910, ‘9 Wall brothers, which continued on the contract until Nov. 6, 1914. It is alleged that at this time the Board of Education interfered with the construction of the building by inciting union laborers to strike, and by inciting union laboring men to interfere with nonunion men employed by Wall broth- ers, and by inducing material companies to refuse to furnish more material. Nov. 6 Wali brothers assigned the con- tract to Charles A. Leary, who contin- ued the work until Jan. 2, 1915, when he quit because of a demand by the board that he replace the plastering in the building. The petition alleges that the Board's action in this regard amount- ed to a breach of the contract. Leary assigned his rights to the bonding companies. Leary contended the board owed him $73(806.42 for the work he had done. The petition alleges that Leary could have completed the bufiding for $55,000 but that the board, which took over the work, expended $110,000, for which it has made claim to the bonding com- panies. The board also has filed a claim for $75,000 for delay in finishing the building. The Court is asked to require the board to make an accounting of the money expended and to issue an injunction to prevent the prosecution of suits against the bonding companies. VICE PRESIDENT AGAINST LARGE INCREASE IN STANDING ARMY Favors Citizen Soldiery in Address at Jefferson City—Says High Ef- ficiency and Freedom Won't Mix. JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 24.— Vice President Marshall, who was here ves- terday to deliver a Chautauqua ad- dress, said he was not in favor of in- States standing to any great extent, but, like President Wilson, believed that a trained citizen soldiery was far better. He ad- vocates compulsory military training in all high schools and colleges. “There are only three things that a soldier needs to know, he said. “He must know how to take care of his health, how to shoot and how to obey orders. The greatest difficulty in hand- ling a great citizen soldiery will be to find enough competent officers to han- dle large bodies of soldiers. “You hear a good many people now crying about efficiency,’’ said the Vice President, but there is just this about that question: you can’t have the high- est state of efficiency when you have individual freedom. The two will no more mix than oil and water. The reason the Germans represent a so much higher degree of efficiency than their opponents is because every German is taught from birth that it does not make much difference what happens to him, so long as it is for the good of the empire.“ $107,000 FOR DESCENDANTS OF NOTED JOURNALIST'S CREDITORS Search Being Made for Persons to Whom Money From “Worthless” Mine Stock Is Due. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.— William Force Scott, United States assignee in bank- ruptey, has $107,000 which he is trying to distribute among the descendants of the creditors of the noted journalist, James Watson Webb, who died a bank- rupt many years ago. Among his assets.“ pledged with his creditors, was sup- posedly worthless stock of a Maryland mining company which recently turned out to be valuable. The company prospected without suc- cess for iron and finally turned up coal. The Webb shares were pledced with the United States Bank, which failed about 1837, and they have been missing for nearly 8 years. The mining com- danv's records proved his title to them. Other shares in the same mine were held by Tilly Allen, an old New York pusiness man, whose estate also has come into the care of the assigneo in bankruptcy.

The plants affected included the Spring a Co, the American Tube and Co., the Lowe Laundry, two . of the Canfield Rubber Co., companies, Salts Textile Batchellor and Crown : ‘eight-hour day is demanded. ’ Electric Sheridan Camp, according to the dis- patch, call for 16 hours’ work daily. The recruits will wear regulation khaki field uniforms, and will be awakened by re- veille at 5:45 every morning. Ten min- utes will be allowed for dressing and washing, and the men must be in line for roll, call at 5:55. A half hour of setting-up exercises; then breakfast, with time for a cigar afterward. Drill- ing will begin at 7, and will continue, with short rest periods, until 11:30. Mess and rest until 2 o’clock, then special training through thé afternoon. This will include riding, trench digging, map making, construction of offensive and defensive works and handling of arms and artillery. Two hours each even- ing will be given to lectures on tactics strategy, camp hygiene and military movements. Taps will sound at 9 o’clock, and all lights must be out and the men in their tents by 10. The food will be fresh meat and vege- tables. All intoxicants will be barred. Dress parades and social functions have no part in the plan. Moving picture photographers are de- sired as recruits, and will be used as scouts, in testing a plan to substitute motion photography for the old style of reconnoitering and map-making. Camp Near Here Desired, Edward Hidden, president of the Busi- ness Men's League, who is now in the East, will confer with Major-General Wood and War Department officials and will ask that a citizens’ training camp be established near St. Louis, sug- westing Jefferson Barracks as a sguit- able place. The league has received a letter from Gen. Wood, ia which he says that he has urged the department to es- tablish a large camp “in Chicago: or near St. Louis—perhaps one for each place—next year.“ William Ross Glasgow of 418 McPher- son avenue, assistant manager of the American Steel Foundry plant in Gran- ite City and a great-graadson of William Carr Lane, first Mayor of St. Louis, is ene of the recruits in the Plattsburg camp, and so far as is known, is the only St. Louisan there. Applications to Join Fort Sheridan Encampment Increase. CHICAGO, Aug. %.——Col. Nicholson and his officers are preparing for the icpening of Uncle Sam's military kinder- garten“ at Fort Sheridan next month. While the training will be strenuous, it will be tempered during the opening days of the encampment to meet the physical condition of the men, the ex- pectation being that a short time only will be necessary to harden the “rook- ies for the strict regulations of military life.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. LONDON, Aug. 15.—Hcw many .mil- lion dollars the British Government has spent in advertising during the first year of th "war no expert accountant has yet had the facilities t» estimate. It is safe to say, however, that no nation evér spent one-tenth as much on print- er's ink in the same period. Kitchener's army has been raised chiefly by advertising. Full-page, half- page and smaller adve-tirements in the papers are almost daily occurrences. The billboards have been covered with the greatest variety of pesters any ad- vertiser ever had printed A collection of these would reveal every play of in- genious appeal advertising experts are capable of inventing. The signs on trams, busses and private motor cars in crease rather than decrease as the war continues. There are oppeals for re- cruits in prose and veite, in cartoon} and suggestive picturing, all dressed as attractively as colored inks and trained advertising men can meke them. . The recent big war loan, the largest in the history of the Governmental bor- rowings, was the occasion of another tremendous advertising campaign.

AUSTRIANS TRYING “fl dtatement: TO LURE ITALIANS INTO THEIR LINES Rewards Offered lesed for Desertions and for War Materials Brought to Them. ROME, Aug. %.—Offers of a surpris- ing nature have been made to ite th lan soldiers by the Austrians in circulars which have been pasted to trees, fences and posts along the Italian line of march. These circulars tell of the ben, efits which will accrue to a soldier if he deserts and gives himself up to the enemy and offer a big bonus for the surrender of guns, cannon and muni- tions. In a recent tssue of the Figaro a dispatch headed The Eloquence of the Austro-Boche,” contains a copy of the circular. In telling of the circular the Figaro says: “Mr. Amilcare Cipriani publishéd in ’Humanite @ translation of an ap- peal for desertion which the Austrians have been distributing among the Ital- lan soldiers and posting on their line of march. The poster is as follows: „Italian soldiers: Tou are entering with malice into a war of conquest and plunder. To fire traitorously upon your former allies is an act of immorality without equal in thé records of history. Divine Providence will punish each of those who commits such a base act. Hach of you, in the face 6f God and the face of death, should renounce the great crime which you intend to commit with a sacrifice of your own blood. Think of the terrible fatigue and continual dangers which a blind Gov- ernment is imposing upon you. Think also of the terrible privations which your actions are bringing to your unfor- tunate families. Why go in the face of such misfortune when there is a chance to free yourselves from it? Make the most of every opportunity to surrender, particularly when a propi- tious moment presents itself. Refuse to obey orders and follow in a body the éXample of all your comrades who come to us and who will never regret it. For arms and other war materials which you give over to us you will receive a pre- mium; for each complete rifle, 10 crowns;; for each machine gun, 50 crowns; for each cannon, 2000 crowns; for each aeroplane intact, 200 crowns, and for each horse, 150 crowns. „In Austria prisoners of war are well treated. They are gathered together in villages with their companions. They are allowed the greatest amount of lib- erty, Best of all, they receive plenty of food for a soldier. All are absolutely free from all danger. Do not hesitate! De- sert in Mass. You aré welcome. Give this note wide distribution and encour- age all your friend to follow you.“ Commenting further on the note, the Figaro says: o eloquent is this ap- peal that the ‘friends’ do not wish to surrender, They prefer to fight for a single cfown—the crown of Savoy.“ $12.50—Niagara Falls—$12.50 And Return, Aug. 28-Sept. 4, Via Clover Leaf Route. 211 North 8th st OFFICIAL OF FIRM TELLS WHY . HE WROTE TO GERMAN AGENT Saye Company Deemed It Advisable to Learn Its Status With Regard 4 to German Penal Code. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. .- Erich Joseph, general manager of the Oren- stein-Arthut-Koppel company’s plant at Koppel, Pa., today issued the following statement: “The correspondence published by the New York World in its issue of Sunday, Aug. 22, must be clear to all those who read it carefully. It certainly does not merit the consideration attempted to be put thereon by that néwspaper. Sec- tion 8 of the German penal law and the acts supplemental thereto, passed by the German Federal Council since the beginning of the war, are no different in their intent and effect from the orders in council of King George V of Aug. 5, Sept. 19 and 2% and the supplemental acts of the British Government. “All this legislation made it a penal offense for the subjects of the respective countries to do business with belliger- ent countries or citizens thereof in such &,manner as to give such belligerents ‘any ald or advantage. Since the officers of the Orenstein-Arthur-Koppel com- pany are subject to such laws in Ger- many, the company deemed it advisa- ble to get details of such laws arid their version from the German Conéul and Ambassador.”’ In a lettér to Consul-General Stobbe, reproduced in the World, Joseph wrote: “We wish under no circumstances to accept any kind of an order which might in any way Violate ether the letter or the spirit of the Germans laws.” The order referred to was one for the Russian Government, A.

We didn’t raise our Kiel to be a sol- dier, we brought him up to bear our civic cares; but soon he'll have a mus- ket on his shoulder, beside a bunch of other husky Mayors. That is, if Mayor Kiel accepts an m- vitation which has been sent to him by United States army officers to serve mn a civilian war camp at Fort Sheridan, Chicago, from Sept. 20 to Oct. ®. The same invitation has been sent to the Mayors of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kan- sas City, Omaha, St. Paul, Columbus, Springfield, III., and other central and Western cities. The Mayor heard about it this morn- ing through a dispatch to the Post-Dis- patch from Chicago, which a reporter showed to him. This dispatch said that Col. D. A. Frederick, in command of the Department of the Lakes, United States army, had mailed application blanks to the different Mayors, and that they were expected to follow the example of Mayor Mitchel of New York, who served as a private in the camp at Plattsburg.

CHICAGU, Aug. 24.—The second sec- = tion of the summary of the report of Basil M. Manly, Director of Research and Investigation of the United States a Commission on Industrial Relations, was Made public today, as was the full text ot tne Supplemental Findings and Rec- ommendations’ by Commissioners John Lennon and James O Connell. Whe second section of the summary Ve 1 sketches evidence gathered to the effect that industrial unrest is caused by low / wages, and that low wages are due to the lack of strong labor organizations. N. remedial measures are recom- - mended, including equal suffrage, and various public utilities companies are _ condemned. _. Commissioners Lennon and O'Connell in their findings take issue with the ' Qlaim by Commissioners Aishton, Bal- ' lard and Weinstock that faults that may | @xist in trade unions can properly be trial unrest. They urge strong labor organizations as a remedy, and suggest that instead of forming a new Federal industrial Commission, with largé pow- ers to deal with industrial unrest, that the Department of Labor be developed and given larger funds for carrying on its work. Crux of the Question. »The crux of the question,“ says the Manly report, “is: have the workers received a fair share of the enormous in- crease in wealth which has taken place in this country during the past quarter century as a result largely of their la- bors? The answer is, emphatically, No! The wealth of the country between 1890 and 1912 increased from 65 to 187 billions, or 188 per cent, whereas the ag- gregate income of wage earners in man- ufacturing, mining and transportation has risen between 1889 and 1909 only 95 per cent, from 2516 millions in 1889 to 4916 millions in 1909. Furthermore, the wage earners’ share of the net product of industry in the case of manufactures | considered among the causes of indus- SIXTH @-ST.CHARLES WE GIVE EAGLE STAMPS AN UNUSUAL EVENT! all Boots * (Sizes 2 to 8, Widths B, C, D.)

No better proof of the mis- erable condition of the mass of Ameri- } can workers can be sought than the fact that in recent years laborers in large numbers have come to this coun- | try only from Russia, Italy, Austria- Hungary and the backward and impov- erished nations of Southern and Eastern ' Europe. “It is evident both frum the investi- gations of this commission and from the reports of all recent governmental bodies that a large part of our indus- trial population are, as a result of the combination of low wages and unem- ployment, tual poverty.“ “Statistics show that only one-third of the children in our public schools com- plete the grammar school course, and only 10 per cent finish high school. In four industrial towns studied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 75 per cent of the children quit school before reach- ing the seventh grade. Increase of Tenancy. “The most alarming fact in American agriculture is the rapid growth of ten- ancy. In 1910 there were 37 tenant-op- erated farms out of each 100 farms in the United States as compared with 28 in 1890, an increase of 32 per cent dur- ing 20 years. No nation-wide investi- gation of the condition of tenant farm- ers has ever been made, but in Texas. where the investigations of this com- mission were thorough and conclusive. it was found not only that the economic condition of the tenant was extremely bad, but also that he was far from be- ing free, whereas his future was regard- as hopeless. Telegrapherg Underpaid. “The workers employed by the two principal telegraph companies (the Western Union Telegraph and the Postal Telegraph-Cable) are not only under- paid, as admitted by tne highest offi- cals in their testimony before the com- mission, but subject to many abuses, such as denial of proper periods of re- lief while on duty, the establishment of arbitrary speed rates, which frequently result in overstrain, the arbitrary dis- charge of employes without notice for any cause or no cause, the employment ‘of young boys for messenger service under conditions which can result only in their moral corruption, and the em- pioyment of women for telegraph service at right. “It is suggested that the commission recommend that the property of the tel- egraph companies, or such part of their equipment as may be necessary for the efficient operation of a national tele- graph system, should be purchased by the Federal Government after proper valuation and placed under the general jurisdiction of the Postoffice Depart- ment for operation. In transferring the fervice to the Federal Government all employes, including officials and other persons, necessary for successful opera- tion, should be retained, and those whom the elimination of the duplicate service of the two companies renders unneces- sary for the national system, should be absorbed into other branches of the Feder: service as far as practicable. Telephone Operators. “The condition of the telephone op- erators in both interstate and local service is subject to grave criticism. The wages paid even in the cities having the highest standards are insufficient to provide decently for women who have no other means of support. The re- cuirements and nervous strain incident to the service are so very severe that experienced physicians have testified that operators should not work more than five hours per day, whereas the regular working hours are from seven to nine per dav The operators, who are principally girls and young women, are required to work at night, going to ond returning from their work at hours when they are subject to grave menace. “It is suggested that the commission recommend the purchase by the Fed- tcral Government, after broper valuation, of the property of the interstate and local telephone companies, or such part cf their equipment as may be necessary for the efficient operation of a national in the issuance of money orders, and have not only denied employes access to the post office when located in their company stores but have opened and ctherwise interfered with the mail di- rected to the employes.

Pullman Employes. The conductors and pcrters employed ir the car service of the Pullman Co. are employed under conditions which seem to require radical readjustment. Both classes of employ2s are admitted by the officials of the company to be underpaid. “The standard salary of the porters ($27.50 per month) is such that the por- ters are obliged to secure tips from the public in order to live. The Pullman Co. is admitted by the chairman of the board of directors to be the direct bene- ficiary of the tips from the public to the extent of the difference between 2 fair wage and that which is now | paid. It is Suggested that the commission recommend: 1. The enactment by Con- gress of a statute prohibiting the tipping cf any employe of a public service cor- poration engaged in interstate com- merce, and providing a proper fine for both the giver and the recipient of the tip, and the amendment of the existing law regulating the hours of serv*ice of train employes to include the employes engaged in the Pullman service. State of Feudalism. One of the most striking features of the report is the finding that many typ- ieal industrial communities present ev- ery aspect of a state of feudalism. Tho report says: “The investigations and hearings of the commission are the basis for the fol. lowing statements: 1. “The conditions existing in typicr! industrial communities which are eithe: ‘wholly or in large part owned or con- trolled by a single corporation or indi- vidual employer, present every aspect of a state of feudalism except the recog- nition of specific duties on the part of the employer.

Furthermore, the employer in many cases controls the social and p»- litical life of such communities, either ve the complete cbsorption of local pe: $1.25 CHARMEUSE SATIN, 980 Black Charmeuse, soft, dull satin finish, 40 inches wide—splendid weight for dresses or skirts.

Some slashing could easily be done in prices of adnitission, and without loss, at these big games, if the National Commission and other deadhead lists were stricken out. Each year fans have to pay an average of from three to four times regular prices to see the world's se- ries games. These same fans have been paying their half-dollars and six-bits throughout the season to — the home clubs. o make up for the complimentary tickets, and for other good and valid reasons, such as enriching club own- ers, etc., the public is soaked the extra charge. It was not o many years ago that baseball was played (and dig money made) without the enriching aid of a world’s series, with parks containing one-half the seats they total today, and with the 25 cent sections being in majority.

His average annual winnings have been $47,174 and this takes no cognizance of what Pop“ or his friends may have won in wagers. That the harness game is just as good a proposition for the horse owner and driver as for- merly is shown by the fact that in 1913 and 1914, supposed to be lean years for the talent, Geers about equaled his annual aver- age by collecting $49,523 in 1913 and last season. Which is going some for a guy so old they’ll soon call him “Kid” Geers, be- cause it’s time for the approach of sec- ond childh Unpadding the Golf Tourney. 898 of the fun and a great deal of the fuss have been stripped from this year’s national golf tournament by the limiting of entries to men of a max- imum handicap of five. At one time the idea of breaking entry records appeared to be foremost in the minds of pro- moters of all golf championships. Experience has taught that in un- restricted entry lists important events the links are glutted with a lot of players without the ghost of a chance to go through the tourney more than a round or two, but who are erratic enough to “go _ crazy” sometimes and put out of the run- ning by sensational one-day play aman who has a ag ony chance to attain the finals. Besides, an in- ordinate amount of time is con- sumed during the preliminary rounds handling excess baggage. In local and state championships, where the entry lists are not 80 heavy and where the “good time” of golfers is quite as important as the playing of the tournament, the “more the merrier” idea is excus- able. * * Going to Extremes. OWEVER, Walter Travis, the only American to win the En- glish national amateur champion- reap is going to extremes by volun- tarily eliminating himself this sea- son. Travis has told friends he would not compete at Detroit. Pressed for a reason, he explained: “I’m too old and feel the strain of a week's tournament play.” “What if vou are, you're better than nineteeen-tweitieths of the en- try list, and if you're feeling good you're likely to win.” To which Travis replies: “It’s this way. In a tournament I’m good for about three days—just long enough, perhaps, to eliminate some fellow who had a real chance to reach the finals and be strong. With me there is no longer any chance of being at my best after five days of play, so I've put a food man out of the run- wi to no purpose.” hich ig drawing Old Top, though vour splendid sportsmanship is indeed a treat to read about.

By Harry S. Sharpe, Referee for the Future City A. C. and the Post-Dispatch Boxing Authority. Bobby Burns, the Dallas (Tex.) ban- tamweight, came bounding into St. Louis last Sunday morning on the trail of Joe Demelfi, whom he is scheduled to box eight rounds before the Future City Athletic Club tonight. Burns was on the warpath because it had been wafted to his ears that “Young Zulu Kid,“ as Demelfi is known in the ring, had been telling around how he had beaten Burns in a 10-round bout that took place in Dallas last May. Bobby says he must take back them cruel words and that tonight he Is go- ing to demonstrate his own conception — just what happened in that Dallas Out. Burns takes positive exception to the Zulu’s claim of victory, and in support of that exception he produces docu- mentary evidence in the form of a clip- ping from the Dallas News in which it is stated that Burns was the winner, and Burns says you can’t get away from that. The Zulu, too, has some clippings upon which he relies, and among them is oné upon which W. P. McVey, promoter and manager of the Kerkau Club, before which the bout in question took place, has certified that me contest was a draw. This appears to be as nearly “official’’ as the thing can be, because, to still further complicate matters, it is said that Will Winfrey, who refereed the bout, made no decision. Must Have Been Close. Judging the issue impartially from the evidence at hand, it would apear that neither had much of an advantage over the other. It is recalled, too, that the bout here between Burns and Demelfi, on Jan. 5 of this year, was a sizzling good one, with honors flirting with both of them until Burns landed a punch in the fourth round on the Zulu’s great sciatic nerve and brought the bout to a sudden stop. The punch was below the level established by the Queensberry rules above which punches may be le- gally landed, and Burns was declared the loser. Both are good little boxers, but up to the present time neither appears to have estab- lished a marked superiority over the other notwithstanding their individual claims.

Clancy Plans a Comeback.“ Bud Clancy's last appearance in a local ring was on ay 11. when he was put to sleep in the third round by Fred Nelson. That was a little more than three months ago and Clancy has had ample time to recover from the shock. As a matter of fact, Clancy views that disagreeable incident as merely some- thing that may happen even to the best of them and will tackle Al rnum tonight in the semi-final, with no fearful visions disturbing his peace of mind or fighting spirit. Farnum is a powerful young athlete, but an inexperienced boxer. e was Fred Nel- son's first 1 in a local ring and the bout had to be stopped in the fourth round to save Farnum from a knockout.

NCE upon a midnight dreary, While I pondered weak and weary, Suddenly a bally raven Get me right; a stately raven, Just as I had finished Didn't do a thing but settle In the middle of the floor; Walked right in and calmly settled, Pe Gravely croaking: ‘‘Nevermore! Friends, believe me, twas uncanny For that raven got my nanny, Sitting like a graven image, Croaking out his: Never more!” And a feather never fluttered, As he stared at me and muttered, Till those pesky words he uttered Got me feeling very sore. Hesitating, then, no longer Suddenly my soul grew stronger And I said unto that Raven: „Tell me, tell me, I implore! This is interesting, very; But is your vocabulary Limited to ‘Nothing more?’ Don’t you ever change the subject?’’ Quoth the raven: Never more!“ „Prophet,.“ said I, bird or devil, Tell me something .on the level, And if you attempt to kid me I will kick you throu the door: Will the Brownies win the bunting That for years they have been hunting? Will they ever cop that pennant? Tell me, Raven, I implore.”’ Said that erudite old fowl, Looking wiser than an owl: „That's what I would designate as Foolish question number four; I will venture the prediction, Without fear of contradiction, That the Browns will win the pennant— Win the pennant, Nevermore!’ And that raven without flitting Still would be there calmly sitting, Without thought of ever quitting, In the center of the floor, If I hadn’t up and soaked him With a paperweight and croaked him, As he chuckled: ‘‘Never more!

Her showing was a surprise to the) Chicago contingent, which had named her favorite, following her victory in the Chicago city championship, only a few weeks ago, when her match and medal play attracted wide attention. Conditions for good play were very poor and Miss Kaiser found difficulty getting on her game. The luck of the draw so arranged it that today Miss Kaiser opposes Miss Elaine Rosenthal, who yesterday was low medalist in the qualifying round, with a 91, 14 strokes below the card of Miss Kaiser. Miss Kaiser is quick to recover her game, however, as will be remembered vy those who saw her play in the Cni- cago city one where she turned in a poor qualifying score and ended by capturing the title. Miss Kaiser did not enter the West- ern championship from, any St. Louis ciub, but from the Flossmoor Country Club, where she is an honorary mem- ber. It was by representing this organ- ization that she was able to compete in and win the Chicago city championship tourney. Sixteen qualified out of a field of more than 100 players. The best score was returned by Miss Rosen- thal of Ravisloe Club, Chicago. She played the difficult course in 91 strokes, 45 out and 46 in, Miss Mar- was lucky to qualify In the opening jorie Dodd of Cincinnati was second with 99, all the other women taking 100 strokes ore more.

Talcum powder is intended to be dusted over the body, as evi- dence the shaker top. Such powders, although usually pure and harmless, do not have the qualities of Henry Tetlow’s Gossamer or other high grade face powders. Talcum powders, being intended for use on concealed portions of the body, are not given the ingredients of a special face powder, nor are they ground so fine. They lack the soft e the delicate translucency, and the skin-nourishing properties of a real face powder. HENRY TETLOW’S GOSSAMER is soft and “feathery.” It contains ingredients that actually soften and nourish the skin, while talcum powder is simply neutral and inert. Henry Tetlow’s Gossamer is translucent, allowing the natural color of.the skin to show through. It never rubs shiny. The woman who uses talcum as a face powder for either con- venience or economy does so at the expense of her appearance and of her complexion.

By Associated Press BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. 2—“We are in sight of the trenches at last,“ said a private in what is known as the Stock Exchange Battalion of one of the regi- ments of the new British army. It's been a long pull in a hard market. But we never missed getting our shilling a day and our wives have got their sep- aration allowances regularly.“ There are privates in the Stock Ex- change Battalion who have names well- known in the world of finance. Some of them have subscribed fortunes to the latest war loan. “At home I have three bathrooms in my house and 16 bedrooms,” said one. ‘Out here I am glad to stand up in line with a towel over my shoulder and take my turn with the wash basin. As for sleeping on straw in a barn it is paradise after a hard march. I sap- pose we will get those other things, too, like everybody else does in the trenches.“ Bound to, though you have 10,000 a year,” remarked another. “Maybe you have one in your shirt. now.“ Make Good Soldiers, What interests us,“ said a division- al staff officer, “is not that they are Stock Dehange men, but are they good soldiers?” Many speak German, as a result of international financial relations. “Tt. would be odd,” said one, “if I should be shooting at Kauffman, who is on the Berlin Echange. We went to school together in Germany.“ Not all in the Stock Echange Bat- talion are affihent or members of the exchange but all were recruited from the Stock Exchange district. As they march along a road in France, laden with dust, the $% a week clerk and the big broker are elbow to elbow and the observer cannot tell one from the other. There is another battalion composed of artists, architects, musicians and men of kindred callings. Many officers have been promoted both from the ranks of Artists’ Rifles and the Stock Exchange battalion. Then there are battalions of miners, sportsmen and companies from the same factory and groups of friends who enlisted in a body in order to be together during the cam- paign. Officers who have been in the fight- ing since the retreat from Mons are saying that the new army is changinz the whole face of life at the front. | Strangers to the Regulars. “We regulars all knew one another. one explained. “We were a sort of fam- ily. When an officer was killed, if he were not an old pal, at least you knew who he was. The names on the casual - ty sts of the new army will be those of strangers.” Promotion has been rapid. Boys. of 19 who began as Second Lieutenants in the new army are now First Lieuten- ants. There are Captains who are scarcely of age. One officer meets an- other who was a Major when he last saw him and finds that he is now a Brigadier-General. Seeing a sign of a corps headquarters painted so well that it looked as if it had been carved into the wood, a pass- erby knew at once that it was the work of a new army man who was a profes- sional sign painter. Be it a lawyer, a plumber, a bookkeeper, a carpenter, a tallor or an engineer that is wanted, one is always forthcoming from the ranks of the new army. The British regular, as a rule, knew only the trade of sol- diering.

E. Evans of this city to continue a search for him during the last 15 years, Advertiging brought no results until recently, when she stated in an advertisement that a big estate was coming to the son, Harry Gordon, from her father. Then a woman came to eee Mrs. Evans and told her that while she was an attendant at an orphan boys’ home in 1906, Harry Gordon was sent to live with Thomas R. Cain, a far- mer near Jacksonville, III. A letter to the Chief of Police there brought a communication from Cain that Harry always had believed his Roth - er to be dead, but if Mrs. Evans was his mother Harry would be sent to Kansas City at once. Then Mrs. Evans announced that the supposed estate was a myth. “I advertised that there was an estate merely to see if I could not get results—and I did,” she said. “I simply want to see Harry.” TWO BOYS ADMIT ROBBING CAR Aloysius Nagle, 16 years old, of 4959 Penrose’ street, and Charles Brockel- mann, 17, of 2656 Davison avenue, at- tracted so much attention from the juve- visitors at a street fair at Lillian Arlington avenues last night that UCIERS, i * — OE r- rer error 0 000 OE ! ) | | | , | Three Million Dollars In August.

The Gov- ernment, recognizing this, gives it as homesteads to those who are not able to pay for it, and to others sells it at a price based on the cost of the improvements, a few cents an acre for wild land, a dollar and a quarter an acre for surveyed land and up to $30 and $40 an acre for irrigated. allows the first purchaser to obtain it at ue of the conveyer’s improvements, which ly everyone considers is the right price— Qand itself no man made. That subsequent ts and we can expect many genera- ay obtain it at the right price, I think the | ment should specify that land is to be con- veyed at a price based on the value of the con- veyor’s improvements. This would, (1) assure the prospective conveyor a reasonable price for his work—the improvements on the land—and (2) pro- 2 the prospective conveyor from paying more mim reasonable price for them, and (3) protect bsequent occupants as the first purchaser tected by the Government—the people—from tor what no man made, the land itself. eal and personal property of a community To make an appraisal, ——— tive sale, would be comparatively simple. tect those who have paid for land, (1) they said a reasonable amount, or (2) they to be from the specification, together with those hom they may sell and the living heirs of Single taxers very rightly object to parties what they have not produced.

The relief of sufferers from the floods of the Rivers des Peres and the Meramec valleys ad- jacent to St. Louis is the immediate duty of St. Louisans. Several thousand persons are homeless and at least a thousand are out of employment on ac count of the flood. The water has not only driven these people out of their homes, in some cases destroyed their houses and depriving them of shelter, but has taken from them their personal belongings, leaving them practically stripped of the necessaries of life. These necessaries must be supplied at once and provision made for the support of the refugees until they can return to their homes and work. Fortunately, prompt action has been taken in both city and county to relieve the pressing needs of the refugees. Mayor Kiel has appointed a Relief Committee, headed by Mr. M. L. Wilkin- son, to obtain contributions from St. Louisans and distribute them. Committees in the towns of the county are at work collecting clothing, bed clothing and money contributions for ready re- lief. . The committees are powerless without the co- operation of the public, whose prompt liberality is essential to prevent further suffering. The appeals should be met by ample funds and neces- saries. Everyone who is able should give some- thing. The quicker the response the richer the gift. The Post-Dispatch is glad to give $200 to the = = ‘ r Russia is “a back” by water instead of on land. THE WESTLIOHE POST’S ERROR. The Westliche Post accuses the Post-Dispatch of misrepresenting the German-language press by quoting in our editorial article, The Copper- .| heads Again,” only portions of the utterances of the German-American editors. If the editor of the Westliche Post reads the English language he ought to know that the Post- Dispatch published the German-language editorial utterances in full, including his own, in the news columns. We reprinted in the editorial columns merely the sentences illustrating our point. The elision in several cases was kind. The republishing of the editorial utterances of the German-language newspapers, which are misleading their German-speaking readers, for the purpose of informing the American public concerning their attitude is a journalistic duty. We do not mean to imply, however, that their anti-American opinions are shared by the masses of Americans of German origin. We know that, while sympathizing with their war-afflicted Ger- man cousins, they are true-blue Americans. = = * A FRENCH PRINCE AT THE FRONT. Prince Napoleon, who has seen several years of military service in Russia, and who has re- cently headed the Russian delegation (diplomatic) to Italy, has just been attached to the staff of Gen. Cadorna on the Isonzo front. “He is the only French Prince,” says the Matin, “who has been honored by being given a place on the front.” Is it the pure deviltry of fate that his first service should be almost with- in cannon range from the fields where his great ancestor won his spurs? a A — -— If foreign rivers shallower than the Mississippi are commercially great, what is the matter with U. 8.? = = A REPORT THAT IS TRIPLETS. Those who predicted that the Commission on Industrial Relations would submit as many re- ports as it had members were unjust to the com- mission and magnified the intolerances of those appointed to it. But three reports will oe made, embodying the views of the three elements given representation on the body, the employers, the employes and the public. To be sure, if each of the three reports is traced to its headwaters, divers individual tributaries are found and over- flowing reservoirs of opinion hardly yet tapped, but the principal divisions on the commission are only three in number, instead of the nine we had reason to apprehend. No card index of the recommendations in this triune report will be made, to be religiously consulted whenever light is desired on any phase of the industrial problem. But a great body of significant testimony bearing on working con- ditions was taken from which each of us can draw valuable conclusions. = = * . FAOTS ABOUT THE DOLLAR LINE. The Coast Seaman’s Journal of San Fran- cisco scoffs with the greatest irreverence at news- papers which charge that the new La Follette act, not yet in effect, has driven the American flag from the Pacific. Much sob squad matter has been printed about the Dollar line. The Journal says this line con- sists of seven steamers, three of which, in the coastwise trade, always have been and always will be sailed under the American flag. The other four vessels manned with Chinese crews sailed der a foreign flag until the war broke out, when 2 danger of German raiders caused them to be ‘transferred hastily to the American flag, kor the time being only,” as Capt. Robert Dollar said at the time. These four vessels have now been put back under an alien flag. The Journal says the reason is that the German raiders have dis- appeared from the Pacific, the La Follette act having nothing to do with it. The sale of five of the Pacific Mail fleet is due, according to the Journal, to the fact that rallroad-owned vessels are denied the use of the Panama Canal. At least two of them will be put on the New York-San Francisco run via the canal and must of necessity be continued in the United States registry. If this change in ownership was caused in any degree by Federal legislation, the Journal insists that the canal code, not the La Follette act, must be blamed. Some provisions of the La Follette law have aroused much resentment among vessel owners, credit it certainly appear dishonest. As the Jour- nal says, registry laws so framed is to make the American flag the refuge of vessels manned by ill-paid coolie crews whose liability to panic and inability to understand orders make them a peril in time of accident, do not appeal much to American sentiment, irrespective of the wisdom or unwisdom of the La Folette enactment. . — a We can neither cotton to Great Britain nor kow-tow to Germany. INOPPORTUNE GRAPE JUICE. “The real question,” says Mr. Bryan, “is not whether American citizens have a right to travel through the danger zone on the ships of bel- ligerent nations. That is admitted.” But Germany does not admit it, or, if she does, she kills them without regard to their rights. “The real question just now,” he continues, is whether an American citizen should put his con- venience, or even his rights, above his nation’s welfare. This is so handy an argument that it would be equally applicable if Germany should send an aerial fleet over and bombard New York. It might be convenient for many Americans to live in New.York; they might have a right to live there. But why should they put their own con- venience or even rights above the nation’s wel- fare? They should move odt—to Yonkers or Beaver Dam or Lincoln—and relieve their Gov- ernment of the duty of protecting them. Only a bombardment of New York would be a greater evidence of unfriendliness than the Kaiser has already given. No aerial attack on a populous city has yet resulted in as many deaths as were caused to Americans on the Lusitania. “The real question just now” is the best way of avoiding war with Germany. If her aggres- sions continue, the country will be aroused to a flaming anger by the time Congress meets that cannot be restrained from war. Amicable ad- monition has failed and something else must be tried. Germany is responsive to the strong-arm argu- ment alone, as was shown by the concessions to Italy that came only after she became convinced that Italy was in deadly earnest. Nothing could be more inopportune than Mr. Bryan's pitiful plea at this time. Along with past hyphenated effort it tends to encourage Germany in a fatu- ous complacency when the need is to bring her to her senses. Of all Brigham Young’s 19 wives, not one was left unprovided for. A fine example for the Gen- tile husband. = & * — a WHAT PARTICULAR TREATY? The New York Sun is endeavoring to persuade Col. Roosevelt to explain to the country precisely what treaty engagements the United States ever entered into to guarantee the neutrality of Bel- gium. For months the Colonel has been writing about the criminal neglect of this Government to keep iis faith with Belgium and he invariably refers to certain Hague conventions as proof of this neglect. The Sun wishes to know “in what sec- tion of what article of which convention he finds the particulars of the alleged obligation.” It was not possible even in the Roosevelt days of personal government that the United States should have entered into a secret treaty with Belgium or any other country. Thousands of persons believe that we were under some sort of contract to maintain the neutrality of Belgium by force if necessary, and they believe it because Mr. Roosevelt has told them so. As he was President when The Hague conventions were signed they think he must know, and yet, strangely enough, he never produced the docu- mentary evidence to sustain his position. = = * rr" POPULAR GOVERNMENT. Urging that all foreigners seeking homes and citizenship should learn the Unglish language as a means of acquiring knowledge of American in- stitutions the United States Bureau of Naturali- zation adds this: Above all in this connection they should be taught that the supreme authority in this country is the law and that the first duty of an American citizen is obedience to that law, even though it may seem an unwise or ob- jectionable law; the remedy in the latter case being through constitutional methods to modi- fy or change the law. It should be made clear just how the remedy for objectionable laws is applied. Public opinion rules in this country and the source of all law ls the people. In order to effect changes in laws it is only necessary that a majority of the people demand them through their representatives or the ballot box. A persistent majority of the American peo- ple can change the national and state constitu- tions and every law in the statute books. When foreigners come here from countries where the voice of the people is feeble against caste, class and privilege it is necessary for them to understand that the wilt of the American peo- ple prevails in this land against all obstacles and that violent or revolutionary methous are not required to enforce that will. Anarchism and violence are revolts against the will of the people expressed in laws made by the people’s repre- sentatives and enforced by elected public servants. Both laws and servants can be changed when the people want them changed. = = = i ii A FIFTY-YEAR-OLD MEN CALLED OUT. The Austrian Government has called out for service in the army all men born from 1865 to 1870, the date of enlistment being Aug. 23. Even those who, for some reason or other have been excused previously and those that have al- ready served will have to enroll. Students, who in their youth, havo served one year by option, so as not to be drafted for three if the lot should fall to them, will also have to serve again; but, says the ordinance, those who, from social position, or physical incapacity, are not fitted to do the regular trench work, digging and other manual labor incident to modern warfare, will be reserved for work to which they are fitted, and will not be compelled to live in the barracks, but will be housed more in accord with their condition. The order concludes with the promise that there will be no further call to arms, | 2 42) Bai 72 E = 7 3 5 4 5 — * — 4 4 . * 5 225 i, 225 rane 8 3 1 2 Bris 8 Ki ania 1S 7 . . ea at rr 7 2 © 7755 N 70 2 * st ; ) 2 8 N KES 7” ee 4 / = Jt. ae 12 1 * o 4 * 4% * ~, 8 ae 4 22 Pits ＋ * 3 „ . | * ia wattle 7 Re, 5 7 45 5 i 7 — 0 N 74 771 Py . 29 5 72 17 5 Py 77 * 2 1 st ta f 2 98 * aR SA Ex. 2 ie kee 7555 2 eee “a 8 Bi 25 5 127 AS ds 2 0 Ys 8 7 oe or a te 8 je + a " .

JUST A MINUTE THE GREATEST MISSOURIAN. ov. MAJOR can get out of it very nicely by (5 naming some scientist like Prof. Francis E. Nipher as the great living Missourian. That is what they did in Nebraska, and there has never been any objection from the Panama Fair. The names are only wanted for fair purposes, and while the honor is not to be questioned on any ground, any good home selection will serve excellently. If the Governor gets among politicians, he shall have in the end to name himself. There woula be no other way out of it. No man could choose among Speaker Clark, ex-Governors Folk, Francis and Hadley, and Senator Stone, and still hope to continue in Missouri politics. He could much better afford to weather the suspicion that he had overrated himself by calm- ly turning in his own name as being about what the Frisco people want. An egotistic man can thrive where a tactless man can be ruined. It is moreover probable that Prof. Nipher or Editor Reedy, or some- one of that sort, is Missouri’s greatest living citizen. Certainly the achievements of such men in physics and letters are not to be cast into the hopper with the accomplishments of politicians. Politics are a very low order of genius, whereas physics and let- ters—to say nothing of Richard Miller, the painter. Phidias, who was a sculptor, has been rated in great- ness among the Greeks above Pericles, who was their greatest statesman. It is even doubtful if it is safe to leave that choice to a politician. The Russians performed a remarkable feat in the Gulf of Riga the other day. They rendered a German destroyer horse de combat. NEW SONGS FOR OLD. LD KING COLE was a merry old soul, O And a merry old soul was he; He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three. Now men, said he, play this for me: Our forces rule the land and sea. 9 think how great the Coles will be As long as Time shall foll!’’ His fiddlers did the best they could, But music hath its charms In other things than widowhood And bloody feats of arms. The fun at court, by all report, Had never dragged an even through As on the night we mention quite, And Old King Cole was more than blue. ‘*Enough!’’ he cried. ‘‘The other side Of life will do for me! A fig for arms and raided farms, And terror on the sea!’’ Whereat his men struck up again ‘*fa-ra-ra-boom-de-ay,’’ And Old King Cole, the kindly soul, Was happy right away. Geraldine Farrar has arrived in New York from Frisco with thirty-seven trunks. We do not know how many trunks Mary Pickford has, but Geraldine would better keep on buying. | Carlyle, Il. — ~~ ——— — Written for the POST-CISPATCH by Clark McAdams ae — — — —— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — ZENOBIA. To an Old Print. ESPITE the imminence of Roman spears, D Zenobia, of old Palmyra, strays Along the pathway of remembered ways To view the splendor of her reigning years. The Soldiery of Rome to her appears In strange confusion with the olden days— Illumined by the iridescént rays Of starlight blending with her falling tears. It is the twilight of Antiquity, And she, of Grecian mind and Persian heart, Doth look, in silence, on her proud heart’s home; And muse, in sorrow, on her fate to be— ‘When she, in her most queenly robe of art, Must walk, a captive, in the streets of Rome. Zenobia, thy dust may lie in Rome, But thou, in spirit form, shall ever stand Among the columns of thy native land To welcome Fame to thy immortal home. No more, as in the past, thy feet shall roam The Appian Way, or o’er the Tiber’s strand. No more thy stricken heart snall urge thy hand To merge its crimson with the Tiber’s foam. Thy chains lie buried with the Roman pride; But thou art free forever to appear, As thou hast done this night—wherein I find, The captor by his captive is defied, In viewing, through the reflex of a tear, The ageless glory of a woman’s mind. CLYDE ADDISON WRIGHT. OUR MINING STOCK. T is supposed that each of us carries a little mining stock. If not, we should be encouraged to do so by the news that there is $107,000 to be distributed among the heirs of the late James Watson Webb, whose stock in a Maryland mine has become valuable. We are told that the United States assignee in bank- ruptcy has this money for distribution, Mr. Webb having been a bankrupt. We are left to infer that the mining stock also satisfied the gentleman’s credi- tors. At any rate, the money is there, and if we can prove a right to it the Government will be glad to renew our faith in the old American custom of keep- ing a little mining stock in an old trunk. Formerly everyone did this, but how general the practice is at this time we cannot say. It takes cases like the Webb case to create a market for mining stock. Lately there has been almost no demand for the com- modity. It has sold even cheaper than cotton, or about 3 cents a pound. It ought to rise sharply now. It is, of course, a gamble; but there is none cheaper. About ten cents invested in mining stock, and hope springs eternal in the human breast generation after generation. ‘ ——— 3 ; .

So proud and happy, in fact, that one day, notwithstanding the fact that he had put the past all behind him, in an idle, whimsical mood he ventured writing a letter to Hglen Wendell. He told her the simple ‘story of his en- deavors; he told her that a wayward impulse had led him to hope that she had not forgotten their old friend- ship and would be interested in knew- ing that a smal! but cheerful measure of success had come to him.

Director Tolkacz said he would confer with Warden Walker on a set of en- tirely new rules when Walker takes Primavesi. Soft speech on the part of guards and prisoners will be another reform step. No profane language may in future be used by a guard in the pres- ence of prisoners, and prisoners who abuse the rule will be placed in soli- tary confinement on a bread and water diet until they promise to reform. Director Tolkacz said he would not abolish the commissary at which pria- oners are permitted to purchase pie, to- bacco, stationery, fresh fruits, maga- zines, books and newspapers. He will permit the sale of proper articles to prisoners, but will not allow the War- den or his deputies to make a profit he did not know on what basis the pres- ent jail commissary is operated, but the workhouse plan is to turn the prot- its into a fund for the purchase of pic- — tures and other improvements for the workhouse enapel and corridors. CAPTURED GERMAN OFFICERS HAVE OWN BOOT BLACKS - Bach Man Detained in France Has Orderly, Says Visitor te Camp dt Belle Isle. PARIS, Aug. 24.—Baron d’Estour- nelles de Constant, who has been vis- iting the camps of German prisoners at Belle Isle, in writing for the Temps a description of what he saw, declares that every officer has an orderly who black his boots, brushes hig clothes and does his washing or has it done. All the officers wear spotless linen and are freshly sha- ven. They observe among themselves a most correct discipline, Baron d’Estournelies, in talking with soldiers, who complained of their treatment, remarked that they looked well. “That is notwithstanding the con- ditlons,“ one of them replied, “It is to our good health and our German we are.” “Do you mean to say,” demanded prisoners in Germany are better treated than you are here?” The reply was a chorus of ber- tainly.” The prisoners have magazines and wicker chairg are provided for their g f | iit !

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.— Bullt up around the deep pocket of the Kieler Foehrde, a narrow arm of the Baltic Sea that cuts its way back into the province of Holstein, the old city of Kiel lies well shielded from all hostile at- tack and centrally placed for the use of the fleet, either upon the open ocean or upon the inland sea,” says a bulletin just prepared by the National Geographic Society. “This ancient port city is headquar- ters for German sea strength, the first naval station of the empire, the point from which the orders have been is- sued directing the unequal duel be- tween the ships of the Kaiser and the fleets of Britain. “The great war harbor of Kiel is one of the finest and most powerfully pro- tected harbors in the world. The sea- arm, whose base is enclosed by the port, has a narrow entrance and a long, irregular surface. The entrance and the strategic points along the bank are heavily fortified. Fort Falkenstein and Fort, Stosch guard the narrows about three and a half miles above the town. hbianking the northern termination of the new Kiel suburbs, the Kaiser WiI- helm Canal, a triumph of patience and engineering, cuts its way into the shel- tered bay. By means of this canal, Kie! is in close communication with the North Sea, and units of the Kaiser's navy can be transferred rapidly and safely from the war theater of the open ocean to that of the Baltic. Canal Project Centuries Old. 'The Kaiser Wilhelm Canal or the Baltic Ship Canal is the product of an idea which ripened through centuries. Projects for connecting the Baltic and North Seas by a water route through the northern peninsula which should avoid the dangerous voyage around Jut- land were considered spasmodically from 1300’ on but it remained to the military necessities of a great empire to bring about the realization of this advantageous waterway for trade. Any number of bashful beginnings of the projected way weile made before the construction of the present canal was Undertaken by the first German Empe- ror. Kaiser Wilhelm I laid the founda- tio stone of the canal tn 1887, and the costly avenue was formally declared open by the present Emperor in 1890. The original canal has been exten- sively improved. The canal crosses the peninsula, from Holtenau just beyond the northern sub- urbds of Kiel to Brunwbuettel at the mouth @f the Elbe, at sea level, the locks at either end merely serving to r.eutralize the tides. It ‘s 60 miles long, with a depth of more than 30 feet and a width sufficient to pass the largest men- of-war. “A steamer takes between eight and nine hours to pass through the canal, thus bringing the advance: German naval base to Heligoland within easy reach of the Kiel headquarters. The whole way at night is lighted by electricity. The first cost of the Baltic Ship Canal was $39,000,000. Other millions have been ex- pended in its improvement. Regular steamer excursion service was main- tained here before the war, but the voy- ege offered little of interest besides sieep banks and here and there spirit- less scenery. Great German Regatta. “Great imperial docks, arsenals and navy yards are located at Kiel, a are also Admiralty headquarters and the Im- perial Naval Academy. Foreigners were mot admitted to the docks and yards. Many thousands of visitors regularly attended Kieler Woche (Kiel Week), the great German regaita held each year during the latter part of June. This regatta was an event of first im- portance in the world of intertnational sport, and yachts from all nations in- terested in water sports were annually entered in its famous races. The yacht Hohenzoliern, housing the Emperor and the Imperial family, was each year the central point of the gay, rich, cosmopoll- tan throng of sportsmen. “Kiel is one of the oldest towns in Holstein. The older parts of the town sre badly built, having twisting, nar- row, indifferently paved streets and being flanked by gnarled. time-tortured buildings. The new town, however, is filled with “handsome structures and 1s well planned. The city has grown in every way, industrially. commercially, socially, artistically since becoming Paval headquarters for the empire and of the greatest sport event upon the German sport calendar.“ > 33, 2831811 1 82 a Te, 1 8 1272 Wena se Sein pneu- . obit Walder: ; heart 80. 2 85 N. 18th; car- ITHE POST-DISPATCH DAILY RECORD OF MARKETS AND FINANCE | CE STOCKS SCORE A SHARP. ADVANCE: Improved Foreign Diplomatic Outlook Causes Buying in Favorite Shares. Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: “The interpretation placed by the Stock Exchange on Count Bernstorff's request for our Government to suspend action on the Arabic question until it heard from Berlin was that the German Foreign Office strongly desires to avoid an open breach. There was no informa- tion during business hours as to what Berlin’s own communication was to be. It would have been no unnatural infer- ence for Wall street to have assumed point blank that the German State De- partment, in line with yesterday’s irre- sponsible reports, Was preparing to deny the f fact of a submarine attack, and to challenge proof of it. In the absence of any announcement to that effect, the Stock Exchange, like the country at large, held its judgment in abeyance. Perhaps it would have done so, even had the general deniai been made to begin with by Count Bern- storff. But the one undoubted fact was that the German Government, not in a defiant tone, had asked the United States to stay its hand, and that the United States would undoubtedly do so, pending furtner communications. ‘News of the German Government’s request came after the stock market had continued, in more or less irregular fashion, its recovery of yesterday, with resultant advances ranging from 1 point to an extreme of 11 points in the more uective shares. It was ceable, how- ever, that transactions w on a smaller scale than Monday’s. An undertone of hesitancy had begun to be apparent, and even the further advance, after Count Bernstorff’s request had been made public, was irregular and ill-dis- tributed. Market Is Strong. „At the market’s close the predomi- nant feeling in financial circles was that an immediate crisis had been staved off through the German Government’s ap- peal. It was fully realized that an ef- fort to temporize through playing with facts—if that were to occur—wouid eventually bring matters back to where they stood yesterday or Sunday, and — in an aggravated form. But there remained the possibility that the late afternoon reports were accurate and that the Berlin authorities might find themselves in a position to disavow the attack by the submarine on the Ara- bic, or to show that the act was in vio- lation of orders from the heads of the civil Government, if not from the Naval Board. “Furthermore, time would obviously work in favor of peaceable adjustment of the matter—always supposing the Berlin Foreign Office to be sincere and in earnest—it was once more demon- strated that the actual and responsible heads of the German Government, at any rate, were not bent on provoking war with the United States. “Beyond such general suppositions or inferences, the day’s news left Wall street, as it left the community at large, with no clear view of the situation, ex- cept that the international crisis was no longer a question of hours. “In the final hour of business, how- ever, a report was circulated throughout Wall street that the German Ambassa- dor’s communication had actually prom- ised, in the event that the sinking of the Arabic was proved to have been the act of a German submarine, to disavow the act. No corroboration of this re- port was received from Washington while the Stock Exchange was open, but it resulted, naturally enough, in a fur- ther vigorous advance of the whole mar- ket, with increased activity.’’ Exchange Is Weak. “Exchange on Berlin declined to the lowest quotation yet reached in the war; today’s rate making a depreciation of nearly 14% per cent from parity. Ex- change on London held around yester- day's rate, which is only 1 to 1% per cent above the low level of the month. The Government's statement of last week’s excess of merchandise exports over imports was smaller by some 810, 000,000 than the week before. But August to date has produced an export balance of $61,500,000, and assuming the dailv average to be maintained up to the end of the month, the total August excess would be his would surpass y $35,000,000 the highest August record, and would compare with an import ex- cess of $19,000,000 in August of last year. Furthermore, judging by comparison of previous weekly returns with the final complete result, the actual export bal- ance for this month should run to 3100, Se oR pata LICENSES, 4702 Delmar Kimmewick.

Corre- spondents’ reports indicate that the recent decline in prices will make the farmer conservative in market- ing his crop, and the movement to market may be below expectations on this account. Weather for spring wheat continues favorable and har- vesting is general in North and South Dakota. Indications are that the crop will more than justify re- cent optimistic estimates, and will also prove of unusually high qual- ity. Corn’s growth has been further interfered with by wet weather and low temperatures, and the crop is s0 late as to suggest considerable frost damage even under normal fall weather conditions.” Liverpool—Spot wheat was id to 20 lower; corn, 14%d to 2d lower; oats, %d lower.

__ ‘ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH _ TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1915. ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Fl GERMANY’ NAVAL HARBOR WELL SHIELDED Ancient City Is One of Finest and Best Protected Ports in the World. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.— Built up around the deep pocket of the Kleler Foehrde, a narrow arm of the Baltic Zea that cuts its way back into the province of Holstein, the old city of Kiel lies well shielded from all hostile at- tack and centrally placed for the use of the fleet, either upon the open ocean or upon the inland sea,” says a bulletin just prepared by the National Geographic Society. “This ancient port city is headquar- ters for German sea strength, the first naval station of the empire, the point from which the orders have been is- sued directing the unequal duel be- tween the ships of the Kaiser and the fleets of Britain. “The great war harbor of Kiel is one of the finest and most powerfully pro- tected harbors in the world. The sea- arm, whose base is enclosed by the port, has a narrow entrance and a long, irregular surface. The entrance and the strategic points along the bank are heavily fortified. Fort Falkenstein and Fort, Stosch guard the narrows about three and a half miles above the town. hianking the northern termination of the new Kiel suburbs, the Kaiser WII- helm Canal, a triumph of patience and engineering, cuts its way into the shel- tered bay. By means of this canal, Kie! is in close communication with the North Sea, and units of the Kaiser's navy can be transferred rapidly and safely from the war theater of the open ocean to that of the Baltic. Canal Project Centuries Old. ‘The Kaiser Wilhelm Canal or the Baltic Ship Canal is the product of an idea which ripened through centuries. Projects for connecting the Baltic and North Seas by a water route through the northern peninsula which should avoid the dangerous voyage around Jut- land were considered spasmodically from 1300’ on but it remained to the military necessities of a great empire to bring about the realization of this advantageous waterway for trade. Any number of bashful beginnings of the projected way weile made before the construction of the present canal was undertaken by the first German Empe- ror. Kaiser Wilhelm I laid the founda- ‘THE POST-DISPATCH DAILY RECORD OF MARKETS AND FINANCE ‘ STOCKS SCORE A SHARP. ADVANCE IN WALL TE Improved Foreign Diplomatic § Outlook Causes Buying in Favorite Shares. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial review today, says: The interpretation placed by the Stock Exchange on Count Bernstorff's request for our Government to suspend action on the Arabic question until it heard from Berlin was that the German Foreign Office strongly desires to avoid an open breach. There was no informa- tion during business hours as to what Berlin’s own communication was to be. It would have been no unnatural infer- ence for Wall street to have assumed point blank that the German State De- partment, in line with yesterday’s irre- sponsible reports, Was preparing to deny the fact of a submarine attack, and to challenge proof of it. In the absence of any announcement to that effect, the Stock Exchange, like the country at large, held its judgment in abeyance. Perhaps it would have done so, even had the general deniai been made to begin with by Count Bern- storff. But the one undoubted fact was that the German Government, not in a defiant tone, had asked the United States to stay its hand, and that the United States would undoubtedly do so, pending furtner communications. ‘‘News of the German Government’s request came after the stock market had continued, in more or less irregular fashion, its recovery of yesterday, with resultant advances ranging from 1 point to an extreme of 11 points in the more uctive shares. It was n@ticeable, how- ever, that transactions w on a smaller scale than Monday's. An undertone of hesitancy had begun to be apparent, and even the further advance, after Count Bernstorff's request had been made public, was irregular and ill-dis- tributed. Market Is Strong. „At the market’s close the predomi- nant feeling in financial circles was that an immediate crisis had been staved off through the German Government’s ap- eal. It was fully realized that an ef- fort to temporize through playing with facts—if that were to occur—wouid eventually bring matters back to where they stood yesterday or Sunday, and perhaps in an aggravated form. But there remained the possibility that the late afternoon reports ‘were accurate and that the Berlin authorities might find themselves in a position to disavow the attack by the submarine on the Ara- New York Stock Quotations. | Re a Wein, for the Poa-Dispatch by ~ alker & Co., 307 North Fourth EW YORK.

It :s 60 miles long, with a depth of more than 30 feet and a width sufficient to pass the largest men- of-war. “A steamer takes between eight and nine hours to pass through the canal, thus bringing the advanc: German naval base to Heligoland within easy reach of the Kiel headquarters. The whole way a: night is lighted by electricity. The first cost of the Baltic Ship Canal was $39,000,000. Other millions have been ex- pended in its improvement. Regular steamer excursion service was main- tained here before the war, but the voy- ege offered little of interest besides steep banks and here and there spirit- less scenery. Great German Regatta. “Great imperial docks, arsenals and navy yards are located at Kiel, a are also Admiralty headquarters and the Im- perial Naval Academy. Foreigners were not admitted to the docks and yards. Many thousands of visitors regularly attended Kieler Woche (Kiel Week), the great German regatta held each year during the latter part of June. This regatta was an event of first im- portance in the world of intertnational sport, and yachts from all nations in- terested in water sports were annually entered in its famous races. The yacht Hohenzoliern, housing the Emperor and the Imperial family, was each year the central point of the gay, r'ch, cosmopoll- tan throng of sportsmen. “Kiel is one of the oldest towns in The older parts of the town are badly built, having twisting, nar- row, indifferently paved streets and 1 by gnarled. time -tortured The new town, however, is filled with “handsome structures and 1s well planned.

No corroboration of this re- port was received from Washington while the Stock Exchange was open, but it resulted, naturally enough, in a fur- ther vigorous advance of the whole mar- ket, with increased activity.“ Exchange Is Weak. “Exchange on Berlin declined to the lowest quotation yet reached in the war; today’s rate making a depreciation of nearly 14% per cent from parity. Ex- change on London held around vester- day’s rate, which is only 1 to 1% per cent above the low level of the month. “The Government's statement of last week’s excess of merchandise exports over imports was smaller by some 810. 000,000 than the week before. But August to date has produced an export balance of $61,500,000, and assuming the dailv average to be maintained up to the end of the month, the total August excess would be $85,000,000. his would surpass by $35,000,000 the highest August record, and would compare with an import ex- cess of $19,000,000 in August of last year. Furthermore, judging by comparison of previous weekly returns with the final complete result, the actual export bal- ance for this month should run to $100,- MARRIAGE LICENSES, 4702 Delmar „ Mo 8.

Corre- spondents’ reports indicate that the recent decline in prices will make the farmer conservative in market- ing his crop, and the movement to market may be below expectations on this account. Weather for spring wheat continues favorable and har- vesting is general in North and South Dakota.
