Little |CAMPAIGN STARTS AGAINST SPOONEY AUTO DRIVERS County Officials to Arrest Men Who tat tee hen tee U Driving, Other for Hugging. Prosecuting Attorney Ralph of St. Louig County today started a cam- paign against “one-arm” automobile driving. It is not directed against automobilists who have only one arm, but against those who have two arms and let one of them “go to waist.” One-arm driving was all right in the old days of the horse and buggy. Any young man who knew enough to say “whoa” and “giddap” could safely negotiate the country roads while holding the lines with one hand and clasping the fair form of his best gorl with the other. But in these days of gasoline propulsion the ocutny authorities believe the combination of spooning and speed- ing is a dangerous one. The Prosecuting Attorney told a Post- Dispatch reporter that he was astound- ed, if not actually shocked a few nights ag when he stood near the Price road in Clayton had ocular evidence that more than half the automobilists were ‘‘one- arm“ drivers. In almost every in- Stance in which a young woman was in the front seat with the driver, she was monopolizing one of his arms. It seemed to muke no difference whether the machine had right-hand or left- hand control. In the opinion of the Prosecuting At- torney, many automobile accidents in the county have been due to this ‘‘one- arm” system of driving. Deputy Sheriff Madden, who, here- tofore, has been only a speed spotter, has been instructed to keep a sharp lookout for spoony drivers who try to make one hand do the work of two. Madden will arrest one or more one- arm“ drivers and make test cases. County authorities believe it will be possible to obtain convictions on charges of careless driving. PEDESTRIANS KNOCK HEADS AGAINST LOW STORE AWNING Complaints Made to Police Against Shade at Twelfth and Olive Corner. 4 The police have forwarded to the Street Commissioner a report of several complamts made to them about an awn- ing on the Twelfth street side of the building at 1143 Olive street, occupied by the Corona Adding Machine and Typewriting Co., of which Perry W. Johnson of 6603 Washington boulevard is president. The awning, according to the police, drops to a level of 5 feet 9 inches above the sidewalk, and many pedestrians strike their foreheads and hats against it. Yesterday William H. Wetzel, 1117 Dolman street, and Alexander T. Hines, salesman for the Gauss & Langenberg Hat Co., complained to the police that they had collided with the awning. The police reported that on three oc- casions they had notified the firm of the awning being too low. — — FAIR TOK:CHT AND TOMORROW; COOLER WEATHER TONIGHT THE TEMPERATURES, #11 82 {312 (noon’ hn ive 4 sabes e 8.

QUESTION ABOUT RUSSIA Some Financiers Favor Dealing Directly With Her Instead of Through Britain. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The two par- ties to the negotiations looking to the c.eating of a mammoth credit loan here to Great Britain and France met in se- cret again today in an effort to adjust their differences over this question: Shall the big credit—billion dollar or otherwise—provide funds for munitions, as Well as wheat, cotton and other com- modities, or shall a separate method we adopted in settling for munitions” The allies’ commission is said to want the credit to cover munitions. The American bankers—or a majority of them—apparently do not. An agreement is said to have been reached upon tue life of the loan, five years, 10 years, or five to 10 years, as may be deemed advisable later—and upon the form of the bonds, which are to be first lien (first mortgage) bonds on Great Britain and France jointly. Russia's Part and the Interest Rate. In addition to the disagreement as to whether the credit shall cover muni- tions there are differences as to Rus- sia’s participation and the interest rate. The matter of interest is said to be virtually settled, as the commission ha? taken the positive stand that Great Britain and France will not pay more than a straight 6 per cent interest rate, bankers and investors to obtain the bonds on the same terms. In this case there will be no under- writing syndicate, no big fees for plac- ing the loan and the subscription books will be open to all comers, pro-German and pro-ally. The Russian 8 is regarded as minor. Some American bankers believe that they should deal directly with Russia and not through Great Britain. It is pointed out that when the. ends the United States will find in Rus- sia a great and receptive market and that if negotiations over the loan are direct now, the way will have been paved for closer commercial relations between the two nations at that time. Position of Pro-German Fitanciers. So-called pro-German financiers. of New York, it is understood, are willing to subscribe liberally to the loan, if none of the money be —ent in paying for munitions of war A possible solu- tion of the quéstion is the suggestion that such shipments be paid for in gold to be shipped here by Great Britian and France. It is a matter of general knowledge that the two nations are prepaped to ship enough gold here to do “this at present, although bankers here are unanimously of the belief that this is undesirable as.it would tend toward a period of inflation and specu- lation. Another suggestion is that a separate credit be established to pro- vide funds solely for the payment of munitions. a James J. Hill has been insistent upon excluding munitions from the loan, con- tending that in that case there would be no reason why all banking groups, whatever their personal sympathies in the war might be, should not take part in the loan. Hill has made no secret of his anxiety to have the so-called Germar houses included in tne flotation of zhe loan, it not in the discussions pre- ceding it. He has declared too that he is interested in the matter only because of what it means to the United States in previding an outlet for surplus crops, and that if munitions were a vital factor in it he would have nothing to do with it. The commissioners will spend Sunda: out of town, most of. them being the week-end guests of bankers with whom they are conferring. Refuses to Join Fight on Dry Laws.

A NEPOTISM BROUGHT BEFORE ALDERMEN Measure Designed to Stop Ap- pointment of Relatives and to Eliminate Those in Office. WOULD AFFECT MAYOR Kiel’s Kin Draw. $24,072 Yearly in Salaries—Eight Koelns in City’s Pay. A bill aimed at nepotism which exists n many departments at the city hall, introduced yesterday by Alderman Dilers, not only prohibits the future appointment of relatives, but weuld eliminate all relatives now holding of- fice through a provision that any fiscal cificers who pays public money to such appointees shall be guilty of a mis- demeanor and subject to a fine of $000 and removal from office. The Eilers measure forbids the ap- peintment of relatives by affinity or consanguinity within the sixth degree City Counselor Charles II. Daues 's a cousin in the sixth degree ‘of Mayor Niel. When this was pointed out to Alderman Eilers he said the bill is not directed at Daues or any other official in particuler There Were. reports cur- rent in the aldernianic body prior to the appointment of Counselor Daues last May, that a nepotism measure would be introduced in the board in an effort to prevent the selection of Daues by the Mayor. Judge Hogan’s Case. Granville Hogan, Judge of the First District Police Court, who was appointed ky Mayor Kiel, his father-in-law, and Clarence Kiel, a son, whose appoint- ment in the Street Department was ap- proved by the Mayor, also would be af- fected by the bill if it became an ord- inance. The combined salaries of the Mayor's cffice-holding relatives and others who would be affected by the anti-nepotism measure is $24,072 a year. “The nepotism act would affect em- ployes in many departments, as follows: ASSESSOR FRANK w.

MoHRSTADT— Brother, Oscar F. Mohrstadt, chief deputy, $133.33 month. CLERK OF CRIMINAL COR- RECTION COURT, F. I. G. KNIT- TEI.— Brother, William Knittel, deputy clerk, $150 month. The bill prohibits the appointment, a»- proval or confirmation of the appoint- ment of a relative within the sixth de- ure, but does not affect the employ- ment by one department head of a rela- iive of another department head. The measure was given a first reading yes- terday and will be delivered to a com- mitiee for consideration after it receives u second reading next Friday. Members of che City Law Department today said that no bill to stop the pay of those eligible at the time of appoint- ment could be made retroactive, and would therefore have no force in regard % those already holding positions.

These employes woul] not be afferted by the Eilers anti-nepoc- ism. bill, The most conspicuous instance of this is Collector Edmond Koeln and seven relatives who are on the city pay- roll in various departments, drawing sularies at the rate of $17,280 per year. COLLECTOR KOELN, a power in the city and State Republican or- ganizations. is serving his second elective term as Collector of Revenue, at a salary of $10,000 per year.

By Associated Press. PERLIN, via London, Sept. 18.—The German Government will give its careful consideration to the evidence concerning the circumstances which attended the sinking of the Arabic, submitted by the American Government through Ambas- sador Gerard. Gottlieb von Jagow, the Foreign Minister, made a statement to this effect in an interview last night with the Associated Press. In his statement the Foreign Minister went fully into the present status of the submarine problem and the circum- stances which for a time threatened to revive the tension between Germany and America. He expressed complete confidence that, in view of the in- structions which had been given and the precautions now being taken, the possibility of further incidents in con- nection with the submarine campaign which would disturb the relations be- tween the two countries had been vir- tually eliminated. Germany, Von Jagow said, would par- ticipate willingly in the negotiations now being taken up in Washington and hopes for the most satisfactory results therefrom. Neutral Merchantmen, Neutral merchantmen, including Americans, are exempt from interfer- ence, as stated long ago, except when carrying contraband,’’ said the For- eign Minister, and will then be de- stroyed only under the conditions laid down in the international code concern- ing war, when provision is made for the safety .of those aboard. “These two categories restricting submarine proceedure against pas~ senger ships and neutral-owned ships, cover cases wherein the interests of the United States may be involved and confine the multiplication of re- tallatory measures to shipping owned by belligerents—a _ fiield which be- longs to the belligerents themselves to regulate. “Some time ago President Wilson tendered his good offices to bring about modification of these retalia- measures. Germany then promptly signified readiness to take advantage o fthis friendly offer, and is still ready to do so. “We Desire No Discords.“ “As to negotiations to supplement the declaration made by Ambassador von Bernstorff, tonight's dispatches from Washington report that the American Government itself has de- cided to begin conversations on this subject. The imperial government certainly hopes a full agreement may be reached which will bar the possi- bilit yof future difficulties with the United States arising from the sub- marine question and will gladly enter into conversations. „We desire no discords in our rela- tions with America, but continuance of the old course of friendship, with no further incidents to trouble it.” BOY “POLICEMEN” CALL ON CHIEF Members of Self-Constituted Depart- ment Back From Chicago.

Their system, they told, was to endeavor to get their companions to be obedient, abhor profanity and shun mischevious play. by at first talking to them in a nice way and then if that failed, by re- porting them to the police. They have reported a number of juvenile delin- quents in the past year.

He declared that the surgeon and Mrs. Pins huu been friendly for two years be ore that Pins said he did not know Dr. Lan- thear personally. He first became sus- picious, he said, when wis wife made frequent visits away from home and once was gone for a week. He said he knew she was with the surgeon at the time but would not say how he knew it. Pins declared that he loved his wife, but that when he saw she had given her affection to another man, he concluded he might as well step aside. Mrs. Pins got the divorce, he said, alleging -indignities. He de- clared that he knew nothing about the divorce trial until it was all over.

Dr. Lanphear’s wife, Mary, obtained a divorce from him in San Francisco, June 21, after they had been living apart for ll years. At the trial Mr Lan- phear said they had one child, a boy.

TOKIO, Aug. 15.—A plea for a United Japan in the present international crisis was issued by Premier Count Okuma yesterday at a reunion of the Japanese press to which the foreign correspond- ents were likewise invited. More than any statesman in modern Japan Count Okuma sees power in the press. He is constantly taking newspapers and news- papermen into his confidence. That is the way he adopts to reach the people, and Okuma believes above all things that the day has come in Japan when the people must be talked to. He is ever striving to find the pulse of the public. This was the second time Premier Okuma had spoken to journalists since he decided to remain in office. His ob- ject yesterday was to urge support for the new ministry and to emphasize the necessity of sacrifice for the welfare of the nation. In Germany,” he declared, “we have an example of a nation that has shown her power of national unity.” He went on: ‘Her militarism is undesirable, but the concerted effort of Germany con- stitutes her strength.

Collector Koeln said he advised the transfer in spite of the reduced pay, be- cause he considered the associations in the fire department better training than those in the Coroner's office for a young married man “I can say that I have not appoint- ed a single relative, and have only sought appointment for one, my brother Adam,” Collector Koeln said. “My brother John P.

By Associated Press. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 18.—Satisfied by Vilhjalmar Stefansson's announce- ment that he is alive and well on Bank's Land, in the Arctic, explorers and geog- ro phers directed attention today to the new land he reports he has discovered in the Far North. In: Stefansson’s own report the newly discovered land is located near 78 de- grees north latitude and 117 degrees west longitude. He actually saw about 100 miles of coast line running im an casterly direction and apparently pene- trating to a distance 20 miles iniand, where, from a hill top, the explorer saw mountains at a distance of 50 miles. Cyrus C. Adams, president of the Association of American Geographers, declared in a statement today that Ste- fansson's new land lies about 100 miles to the north of Prince Patrick Island, and that the most southerly part of the land which the explorer visited is con- siderably to the east of the most east- ward extension of Prince. Patrick Is- land. The lands nearest to it, Adams said, are the Polynia Islands, a little group north of Prince Patrick Island, about 75 or 80 miles from the new land. Adams said the most northern part of the new land, as far as Stefansson saw it, appeared to be farther north than any other land in the great Barry Archipelago, to the north of the Ameri- can continent. Adams expressed the opinion that the land discovered by Ste- fansson rises from the continental shelf in shallow waters that surround the Parry: archipelago and that its discov- ery shows that this part of the Arctic Ocean is comparatively shallow. Adams also pointed out that another notabla exploration was Stefansson's completion of the charting of the north- eastern coast of Prince Patrick Island. There was a stretch of some fifty miles of this coast line which had not been covered in previous surveys, but the gad now has been filled. The expedition was undertaken by Stefansson to test the theories which had been set forth by Dr. Nansen and othere that the unexplored portion of the Arctic Ocean is a deep basin vir- tually devoid of land. Other explorers had asserted that land of considerable aren lay undiscovered there. Russian Arctic Relief Expedition Arrives at Archangel. LONDON, Sept. 18.—A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegram Co. from Christiania says that the Norwegian Foreign Of- fice has received a dispatch from Arch- angel, Russia, to the effect that the Aretic expedition headed by Capt. Otto Sverdrup, which has been searching for the Russian explorers Rusanoff and Brusiioff, has arrived here and thet all the members of the party were well. * Capt. Sverdrup with a crew of Norwegians, sailed last year on board the Russian relief ship Eclipse for the Kara Sea, to rescue the Geologist Rus- anoff and Oceanographer Kutchin, who left Spitzbergen for Nova Zemdla in August, 1912, on the motorboat Her- ecules, and Lieut. Brusiloff, who went on an Arctic hunting expedition in Sep- tember, 1912. “Great Achievement,” : politics and thought of the whole world. Amfdst this great struggle, Japan must maintain her position as a world Power. In order to do this, we must unite our efforts, and we need sound leadership.“ The policies of the reconstructed Cab- inet, the Premier said, would be the same as the old. He was more than ever convinced that its policies were sound and well adopted to the needs of the time. From the very outset it had endeavored to effect reforms in home politics. Unfortunately, as he thought, the manner in which Japanese elections are held is not ideal. This was due to the fact that the representative form of government was still new to the majority of the people. The Premier continued: “Happily the spread of modern education has in- proved matter: considerably, and the nation is emerging fro.n ite old feudal German Armies in Russia Continue Progress to Vilna Continued From Page Cne. the Dardanelles remain closed to the Entente Powers. l’etrograd Reports Prisoners FETROGRAD, Sept. 18.—-An official statement today said: During the Successes; 233066 Taken. enemy's offensive along the railway from.

LONDON, Sept. 18—The British tank steamer San Zeferino, 6430 tons gross, has been torpedoed and sunk by a sub- marine.

Zeferino French Destroy Turk Position at Dardanelles; by Counter Mine. PARIS, Sept. 18.—The destruction of a Turkish position on the Gal- lipoli peninsula by the French forces was announced today by the War Office. The announcement follows: “In the Dardantlies, from Sept. 12 to Sept. 17, there was no movement of importance. The Turks attacked several positions of our front by meang of mines, which had not been employed by them up to this time. On the morning of the 17th an enemy mine gallery was destroyed, after it had been advanced for several days by our counter mines. The operation was perfectly successful without costing us a single loss.“ Serviansg Repuise Attempts of Aus- teians to Crosse the Save.

Announcement was made at the War Office today that three attempts to invade Servia had been repulsed. The statement follows: “The enemy thrice attempted to cross tie Save during the night.of Sept. 14, but was repulsed each time by our in- fantry. “Cm the 16th we leveled fortifications vf the enemy along the Danube front, at ite confluence with the River Pek and toward the village of Bejania, near Souska, on the Save fropt.” — See your own tand first!

OF BOMBS IN ZEPPELIN RAID ON LONDON “Somewhere” in Great ( City Homes of Working- men Were Damaged and Children Were Killed, but No War Building Hit. though, while bringl/ the stableman'’s wif wv By Associated Press. LONDON, Sept. 18—An official de- scaription of some of the effects of the. last Zeppelin raid upon the London dis- trict, written by an impartial observer at the request of Home ‘Secretary Sir John Simon,-and just issued for pub- lication, follows: “While it. is absolutely necessary, m the interest of public safety, to main- tain the rule that no unauthorized ac- vount shall appear, the real character of the outrages. will be better under- stood from a collection of incidents, each verified on the spot and vouched for by the authorities as accurate. The Home Secretary takes this opportunity of stating explicitly that the total casu- alties from these air raids have been correctly stated in all cases. The in- formation is based upon an exhaustive inquiry by the police. In a letter some months ago, First Lord of the Admiralty Balfour set forth the reasons which prevented the Gov- ernment from disclosing the exact lo- calities in Which damage has been done in the various Zeppelin raids. These reasons remain valid, and there is no intention of departing from the rule adopted to prevent information being made avallable for the enemy either in regard to the routes taken or the places and buildings on which bombs wer: dropped. “The experience in the raids last week, combined with German official reports, demonstrate that commanders of German aircraft often are grossly in error as to their movements, and they have no means of estimating the effect of their promiscuous bombardments | materially or morally. Private Property Damaged. ‘In every case where damage has been caused, it was private property which suffered, and in most cases this has been of the small residential kind. Al- most all the unfortunate people wh) have been killed not only were non- combatants, but non-combatants of a class who, hitherto, in the honorahle practice of civilized warfare, have been exempt from attack—women and chi!- dren, small shopkeepers, workingmen— the sacrifice of whose lives serves n° military purpose, either morally or ma- terially. “The folly and futility of the raids last week may well be imagingd when it is remembered. that the London dis trict, taken for copvenience as the area administered by the Metropolitan Po- lice, is just short of. 700 square miles in area. It was, by hastily dropping at random, in the dark, explosive and incendiary materials somewhere on this enormous surface, that the enemy pro- | fessed to have accomplished an impor- tant military purpose. „The fact is that no public institu- tion of any kind was hit, nor was any power station or arsenal. No damage was done affecting the use of any bullding connected directly or indirectly with the conduct of the war. Only One Church Hit, „It is true two hospitals narrowly es- caped damage, but it is only fair to say, in behalf of the officers of an army which has done its best to destroy — — — — her feet by the ex the cdthedrals ot Belgium and France, that, up to the present, they have suc- ceeded in. hitting only one church. “So far as the moral effect of the raid ie concerned, it is feared that, from the standpoint of Berlin, it was a com- plete failure.’ If Count Zeppelin accom- panied the raid, as has been reported from Holland, he will be disappointed to learn that only a minority of the vast population ef London was aware of the presence of hie airship; that, among those who héard the gunfire and saw the Zeppelins; the feelings everywhere nroused were interest and curiosity, rather than fear. ‘That London and its suburbs, as a community, facedsalmly the murderous efforts of these raiders, is in no way a mitigation of the callous and purpose- less brutality of their actions, or the tragedies which have followed. Pictures of Damage. Here are a few pictures of the et- fect ‘accomplished by the officers and crew of the last airship which visited the London district. Somewhere in Lon- con there is a little street, with a pub- lic house at the corner. “Outside it, Wednesday night, after the place was closed, a man and woman stood talking. While the woman went away to buy supper, the man ‘waited for her, and there fell at his feet, the first explosive bomb, “They killed the man outright and blew pieces. of the paving stone onto} surrounding roofs. They blew im the front of the public house, reducing the stock to a mass of broken glass. on ithe floor above they twisted an iron bedstead, injuring a woman who was sleeping there, and reduced what nad been the carefully kept living rooms. of a small family to a mags of soot, plaster and broken glass. In what con- ceivable respect did this contribute to the progress of the war?“ “In another part of the area over} which the airship passed there is «a big block of workmen's dwellings. which are crowded day and night with chil-’ dren. A bomb dropped on a roof. “Directly under the roof was a little flat in which four children had their last the futility of was merely ridiculc it was tragic. “Somewhere in Lo’ is a little block of itself, divided into ground floor there widow, her 18-year-o young man lodger.

Bell | NQUIRY made by Commercial Imterests of St. Louis Payrolls of Factories Through out the Country Said to Be on a Steady Increase. the Post-Dispatch into the prospect of business for in- surance men, printers, engravers, Stereotypers and electrotype concerns during the past week indicates that there is every reason to loek for a bi¢ increase in business in these various allied lines during the fall and coming winter. To get at the facts in each line of business the following firms were consulted: Southern Surety Co., American Auto Insurance Co., Missovri Life and Acci- dent Insurance Co., F. D. Hirschberg, & Co., W. H. Markham & Co., Central States Life Insurance Co., Nicholas R. Wall and Edward T. Campbell Agency, New England Equifable Insurance Co., Humphrey & Ewing, Fidelity and De- posit Co. of Missouri, American Printing Co., Woodward & Tiernan, Barnes- Crosby, Samuel Cupples Envelope Co., Stephens Lith. and Engraving Co., Na- tional Printing and Fngraving Co., Charles A. Drach Electrotype Co., Blackwell-Wielandy Book and Stsation- ery Co., National Stockyards National Bank. Insurance Outlook Good. A representative of the New England Equitable Insurance Co. in an interview with a Post-Dispatch reporter said: “The casualty and surety companies are looking forward for a big increase in business during the fal! and winter months. The general revival of business in manufacturing lines naturally re- flects upon the casualty and surety business. „It is notable that the payrolls of factories throughout the country are steadily increasing, all of which means that the result will be a very material increase in premium receipts on liability lines and a large. supply of contract bonds are in prospect as a consequence. “The New England Equitable Insurance Co. has found it necessary to increase its force at its home office in St. Louis to take care of its growing business.” Activity im Foreign Field. That there is considerable activity among insurance men with foreign con- nections, is shown by the following quo- tation from Vice President William H. Harris of the Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Maryland, submitted to the Post- Dis- patch by George R. Wendling Jr., the firm’s St. Louis representative, who car- ries the title of resident vice president. “Hugh Nettle, European director of the Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Mary- land, before sailing on Aug. 10 for Rot- terdam declared that in all the coun- tries on the other side of the water business, since the beginning of the War, while considerably curtailed, losses had been materially less than prior to ihe’ great conflict, and that no losses whatever in his territory, which in- cludes Germany, Austria and Hungarv, were directly attributable to the war The only risks, he said, that were being assumed by the Fidelity and Depos:i Co. on the other side ate those guaran- teeing the fidelity and honesty of em- ployes. ' “Continuation premiums on bonds written prior to the outbreak of the War, he added, have been generally paid, notwithstanding the fact that 4 large number of persons injured are at the front and many have been killed. Auto Insurance Growing. A representative of the American. Au- tomobile Insurance Co. in St. Louis de- clares that each day, the automobile in- surance is growing almost beyond the expectation of the most sanguine opt mist—that almost every week new con- cerns are springing up in order to tak. care of the increased business. This Same man, in talking to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, said: Business in our line is muecen better than it has been for many a day. The attitude of the public each week and each month is changing for the better in the matter of claims. That is, every- body now is more reasonable than he or she was a year ago in trying to make adjustments. “Traffic regulations are improving daily and the manufacturer is im- proving his product so that between the two losses to insurance compa- nies in this particular line is mate- rially decreasing each year, all of which means a tendency towards lower rates of insurance on automo- biles.“ An official of W. Co., who has just returned from a trip in the West said that the gen- eral indications were that business is picking up, and he looks for a vast improvement in the insurance field in general. The fact that — money _is H. Markham & | throughout the country is shown by activity in the life insurance busi- ness. It is generally conceded that life insurance business is cramped when money is tight. The Central States Life Insurance Co., through one of its representa~ tives, declares that for some weeks past life insurance business has shown an impetus that was not marked in che past Kveral months. An official of the F. D. Hirschberg & Co (insurance) in talking over the prospects for improved business said: “Every time there is a big fire the people should realize that it means an increased rate for each individual. The insurance companies simplv gather in premiums and then disperse moneys for losses by flames and water to property so insured. The more the losses the higher the rates.” Increased business has induced the Southern Surety Co. to open up offices in Indiana so as to take advantage of the workingmen’s compensation law recently incorporated upon the stat- utes of that State. Already the com- pany’s business has jumped from sixth to second place, a representative of the concern reports. The Missour! branch, the representative states, is leading in the volume of the compa- ny’s business at the present time and a big increase for the concern is ex- pected during the coming winter,” Printers Expect Big Business. An official of the Woodward & Tier- nan Printing Co., in speaking of the outlook for the printing trade, said: „Business is progressing so rapidly that some of the biggest print shops in the United States are installing the Creative Advertising or Service Depart- ments. He said that he believed it was up to the big printer to make good on all jobs Big Im eee in Insurance, Printing rand the Engraving Trades Looked tor in Few Months that were offered to him, not only to print, but to plan every booklet, folder and circular turned out The printer, he said, must not only Know his craft, but undertake the study of merchandis- ing and selling the wares. From now cn, this same official said, the printer must be able to offer selling ideas. President Paul J. Wielandy of the Blackwell-Wielandy Book and Station- ery Co., said that the outlook for the fall, winter, agd more especially for the Christmas season in that firm's partic- ular line, was exceedingly bright. This firm; in addition to, the general book and stationery line, assembles all man- ufacturers’ lines of fancy china, dolls, leather goods, etc—in fact everything ir. the nature of presents for birthdays Christmas, etc. President Wielandy said that the com- pany had been receiving unusually large orders from its 14 branch sample rooms, which are located in the princi- pal trade centers of tne West and Southwest. The American Printing Co. reports improved conditions as indicated by the concern’s salesmen's reports. This firm has been in business in St. Louis for 15 years. 7 The HYDRAULIC PRESS BRICK CO.

The forecast of the note to be sent to Great Britain, protesting unwarranted interference with American trade on the ocean, bears vigorously upon the weak points in British procedure. In a measure the British course parallejs that of Germany by penalizing America in order to law because legal methods would endanger their warghips. i The discrimination in the enforcement of the German blockade, long ago pointed out by the the protest. While blocking American trade with neutrals, as well as with Germany, Great Britain patrol the Baltic and her navy is unequal to the Baltic shipments, she lets them go free while holding up American commerce with all nations bordering either the Baltic or the North Sea. The British navy can seize American cargoes without danger and, therefore, the Government discrimi- nates against us. Protests are made against seizure of goods that are not contraband destined for neutral ports and against detention of American cargoes in British ports. These practices are denounced as illegal and invasions of American sovereignty. We must not let Great Britain’s suavity of manner and adherence to.methodical forms of law blind us to departures from essential. prin- ciples of justice and law. We must stand firm for American trade rights and property rights as well as for the protection of American lives. Humanity comes first, but the freedom of the seas for commerce is a fundamental principle of civilization. F as a submarine letter should fade away from 8 . LETTERS FROM THE PRUPLE * 3 Encouragement of Arson. To 'the Hditor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial of the 16th inst., captioned, Ex- essive Insurance and Incendiarism,” to the stu- ite of insurance and fire prevention, opens up mes long trodden by them in an endeavor to find a remedy adequate to combat such cases and | nying effects. Your indictment of insur- ande interests falls upon shoulders more or less guilty, but tempered by mitigating circumstances, dus to the arch conspirator, the Commonwealth ‘itself, through the cru@ity of its laws, and its further and almost criminal failure to enact such laws as will enable the State and insurance inter- 5 27 to co-operate in the suppression of “Excess- 3 ce and Incendilarism.“ Arne Fire Marshal law, it is said, was defeated in the last session of our Legislature by the iden- tical Interests whose adherents are now enjoying 5 temporary liberty.

Classes in the Turkish language are being or- ganized all through Germany, notably in Berlin. Says the Berliner Tageblatt: “Our young men must now learn to speak the Turkish language; of course primarily our soldiers; but even those in a mercantile avocation should know that lan- guage. The Government insists, and has brought here many Turks who are competent teachers to inculeate in our youth their tongue. Germany must know Turkish after this. “Classes have already formed in various cities, mostly Prussian, and it is expected that, in case of need, our army will need no outside interpret- ers, as we new can get our own people to act in that capacity.” ‘*‘BIOLOGICAL FAILURES.’’ Faddists love phrases and “biological failures” is a newly adopted pet in the vocabulary of very modern sociologists, eugenists and tom-tom beat- save the British navy. The British are violating | Post-Dispatch, is one of the strongest points in| leaves the Baltic nations an open sea for direct | trade with Germany. Because it is dangerous ta, task of blockading Baltic ports or stopping’ habits and customs, and practice a suavity of man- ner so essential in their minds. Above all, the credit system is of most im- portance. They have been accustomed to buy on long time, which the European countries stand prepared to give. Unless our merchants are willing to meet this situation, there is little hope of ex- tending the trade. PATRIOTIC GERMAN-AMERICANS, The convention or the Missouri German-Amer- ican Alliance at St. Joseph rejected resolutions denouncing the Government of the United States because it has not placed an embargo on the export of war material. Further resolutions: adopted affirmed the al- ton and its concurrence in the principles of the Declaration ot Independence. : Other meetings of German-Americans have not subjected ‘themselves to criticism because of their attitude on issues dividing the nations at war. They have a right to their convictions on those issues and to express them. They have caused u painful impression because, when issues have arisen between belligerents and the United States, they have almost invariably taken sides against the United States. The manner in which the St. Joseph meeting attested its Americanism is gratifying. A racial sympathy with one side or other in the struggle abroad is natural. It becomes unpatriotic and dangerous only when it is permitted to obscure our home interests and weaken our sense of obligation as United States citizens. Disappointment and alarm over the position of hyphenated’ Americans would be short lived if all their gatherings closed with a unanimous vote of confidence in the President and a re- of Independence. = E. ae = The Turk flirts with FLOOD DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT. While we are waiting for the plan and the means to improve the Des Peres itself, the peo- ple of the recently flooded districts of the city can and should do something for themselves in the way of making a possible future inundation less destructive. The loss of life, for example, and much of the destruction of property, was due to the fact that cottages had been built without regard to a pos- sible flood. Many were of one story, set right on the ground, which was already low. After the waters had risen a few feet and the current had become swift, there was little chance of escape. Houses with two stories, and those built up on high foundations, suffered less and the people in them were in little or no danger. Neighborhoods should form improvement asso- clations, with a view of formulating plans to fill in low ground, put in good foundations and move for the elevation of the streets and bridges in the district to a level above probable floods. All this will have to be done sooner or later. It would be well to set about it before winter makes such work difficult. = = —~— a DON'T GIVE IN TO NOTHING.’’ Without admiring his particular brand of sin, affirmation of the principles of the Declaration’ liance’s loyalty to the Government at Washing- | „ S $i} " Mo.

MISCELLANBHOUS, a A. T. Phone Board of Education. we pity the sorrows of a sinful mortal at Car bondale, III., who was caught tampering with a jury. He was defendant in a suit and slipped a juror a note containing these fatal words: Hold out forever; do not give in to nothing.” What the jury did to him was to decide against him and expose the note, whereupon the Judge fined him $500 and sentenced him to six months in jail. In jail a “kangaroo court,“ composed of prisoners, gave him 25 lashes with a whip. In- cidentally it is a lucky thing, for convicted per- sons in general, that their punishment is not meted out by other convicts, but fixed by inno- e¢nt humanitarians outside the bars. Only the innocent are capable of leniency. The guilty bears down hard upon every other offense than his own. .Is his intolerance of others propor- tionate to the extent of his own crime? We won- der if there are any wife beaters or child mur- -derers in the jail at Carbondale. But the 25 lashes on the back are not the last of the man’s punishment. Worse yet, the news about him has been wired and published broad- cast—and here we are moralizing about him and salting his sore wounds with our well-meant/ sympathy, which we can't help. If people will persist in punishing themselves they can’t pre- vent us or anybody else from feeling sorry for is correct in its inference that insurance in- attempt to undermine Mr. Rockefeller. § are a willing conspirator in organized in- Up to the present time such interests a ‘undoubtedly stood behind the local conspira- | . He has a large advertisement in the Eastern papers warning the public that unscrupul- ous dealers are selling an inferior gasoline under one of his trade names. If this is true, and the practice is to become general, the inevitable end must be to wreck not only the finest business career we have had in our own country, but the finest in history as well. Mr. Rockefeller says in his advertisements that he believes we want to stamp out this evil, and his confidence in us is not misplaced. We do want to stamp it out, and if it shows its head in St. Louis it won’t last a minute, That the East is equally true to him and his business ideals we have no doubt. It was certain that Mr. Rockefeller would attract in time the fire of those whose delight it is to un- dermine business. A particularly shining mark, arousing envy among all covetous people, he could not hope to go on forever without being fired on from those hidden batteries which guard the dark side of our industrial life. If that attack has finally come, it is neither earlier than we expected nor more in- sidious than we thought. We must rally around him, and if there is nothing in the Sherman act or any other similar statute which covers the case, we should supply that deficiency with all possible speed. We owe that much to Mr. Rockefeller’s illustrious busi- ness career, to the magnanimity which has charac- EATH yonder gleaming granite shafts that tell Their simple story to the passerby, The poet on his narrow couch doth lie, As one who knows God is, and all is well.

Our particular notice is drawn to a male school teacher’s careless adoption of the phrase in the lofty pedagogical publication. “School and So ciety.” Prof. Herbert P. Patterson takes it upon himself to stigmatize unmarried women teachers, who constitute the great mass of our educational forces, as biological failures. Can biological failures be pedagogical successes? he asks, and, ihe learnedly. concludes: Such problems as the closer relating of home ald school, the teaching of personal hygiene, the better training of teachers, the greater permanency of the teaching force, and the finding suitable occupations for the restless Womanhood of this age—all these problems, and others, would receive partial solution if married women were to become our teachers. The one main issue must first be decided: Shall our children receive their educational inheritance from humanity’s representative men and women, or shall biological failures be our teachers? Without deeply pondering the merits of this de profound gentleman’s argument we are thoroughly to oe safety to leave that corner unpro- convinced of one thing. He proves that the gre JOHN W.

LATIN AMERICAN TRADE. var Why have we made such meager progress in our attempts to gain South and Central American trade? The query is effectually answered in a report to the Department of Commerce from Spe- cial Agent Gerard Harris at Colon, Panama. Commenting on the difference in methods be- tween the American and European exporters, he incloses two letters. One from an English, the other from an American firm, written to one of the strongest houses in Colon. It appears that in May there had been a large fire in Colon, many business firms having been severely damaged. And it was relative to this misfortune the letters above alluded to were writ- The English firm’s letter, couched in most cor- ‘dial and sympathetic language ends with the words: “Of course, the burdens of the present alt- uation in England are falling heavily on all of us, but we are meeting the situation. Give your- selves no worry at the state of your account. We know bew conditions are. Send on your orders end they will be filled as usual and upon the usual terms.” The letter from the New York house was cold, brief and matter of fact, and ran like this: “Dear Sir: Owing to war conditions we are compelled | to curtail our lines of credit and the terms in the future will be,” ete. The terms offered were prac- . |tieally cash. ‘The difference in tone of the two letters is start- 1 r make Carondelet a them. Deserved pity is one of the cruelest tor- tvres ever invented—how did the Spanish Inqui- sition overlook it? Modern civilization is a cruel system in which crimes carry their own brand, as it were, and mete their own punishment beyond and apart from “justice.” Punishment is cumulative. So- ciety, unforgetting if not unforgiving, continually lashes with its memory the wounds of a victim. His sores never lose their sensitiveness. His reputation rarely mends. It is an ugly offense, tampering with a jury, affronting the honor of fellow men, assaulting the cornerstone of their justice and their liberties. A big burden it is which the Carbondale man has to carry, but if his heart is stout enough he can get away with it, and start again. Our counsel to him consists in his own words to the juror: Hold out forever; don’t give in to nothing.” Penuchle for the drinks is excised — Caron- delet saloons. This cruel edict is destined to less idyllic place to live in. Life there may retain its beer and skittles, but the penuchle player cannot live by beer and skit- tles alone.

Why should net the campaign for national de- tense include a program for teaching people how te live healthful lives—how to build up and maintain a high standard of physical fitness?” Not even the most passionate of pacificists should object to such 3 program. According to Mr. Rittenhouse, there is constant deterioration of the race in the marked increase of disgases of the heart, arteries and kidneys. “There are those,“ he says, who deny that this increase is a sign of de- terloration, and attribute it to the de- crease in the number of deaths from community diseases, since everybody mußt die some time. However, our con- trol of community diseases has prac- tically been obtained in the last 20 years, and most of the person’ whose lives we have saved should not yet haye reached an age where they must die in large numbers from organic diseases. It le a fact, backed up by the most careful statistics, that at least 30 per cent of the adults im this country are in some stage of one of these diseases.” “We have failed to adapt our- selves to changed conditions. From a people of the soil we have become a people of cities. For a life of physical activity we have aubetituted a lite of physical in- activity. Even on the farm, the man who once walked in the tur- row behind the plow now sits eon 8 prise seat. In shops and fectories machinery has decrensed greatly the muscular activity of the workers.

But mod- ern improvements in material com- fort are a constant temptation to in- dolence, and a temptation, I'm bound to say, but iron resistance. “You know that man who will never stand if there's a comfortable chair in sight, who leans against a lamppost, while he's waiting for a car to carry him two blocks?

Is the average American physically fit to defend his country? HOSE are the new questions added to the catechism of preparedness T by Elmer E. Rittenhouse, president of the Life Extension Institute. “National defense,” Mr. Rittenhouse wrote recently, “has been pub- licly discussed from many angles during the last few months. however, one important factor which appears to have been overlooked. That is the physical fitness of the men who are to defend the nation, There is, Of war machine in the hands of low-efficiency body Americans are physically winded and out of condition.

Feeding children on Bananas T is simply astonishing how very | many young children one sees—even those we call bables—who are given unripe bananas to eat by those having them in charge. While it may be and is a fact that the banana is a very nutritious food and maß, under certain conditions, be eaten by adults without the slightest harm and often with real profit, there is a good and sufficient reason why they should never be given to young children under t. A fresh ripe banana is quite a dif- ferent thing from the banana we see in St. Louis. “Such a one contains about MOTHER OF SCHOOL GIRL Tells How Lydia E.

Its very composition then shows it to te a desirable and nutritious food, and so it ia, in countries where it ripens under natural conditions, in the sunshine and warm alr. But when bananas are cut for ship- ment they are green, and so they ripen under unnatural conditions, and when the fruit is sold in our markets it is unevenly and most imperfectly ripened As a matter of fact, bananas are at their best only when the skin is brown— yes, nearly black—for then it is thor- oughly ripe, and if the skin is not broken the flavor will be found to be quite a different thing from one that is hard and yellow and only half ripe. Fruit dealers say that most people ‘efuse to accept the black ones, as the, think them decayed, which is far from tne real truth. tmperfectly ripened bananas contain a Arge per cent of raw starch, and raw vtarch is an insult to the human stom- och. To give such fruit to a young child or a baby throws upon the deli- cate stomach a heavy burden of indi- Lestible starch and tough cellulose and it naturally starts a real rebellion in that organ. Cooked bananas are better than raw ones, as the heat has broken down the starch and changed it into sugar, just as the sun does in natural ripening. It enftens the Cellulose (the stringy tougn part), making that, too, more easy o digestion. The change which takes place in the ripening of all fruit is this: The abun- Gant starch of the green fruit is changed by the sun’s heat and light into can- tugar and this cane sugar is, in time, changed to glucose. These changes go on naturally while the fruit is on the tree, but after being nicked the change of cane sugar to glu- dose does not help the fruit as regards favor, for the glucose fs less sweet than the cahe. The riper the fruit gets, short of d- cay, the sweeter it becomes—not because the cane changes to glucose, but because so much of its starch, which 10 tasteless, becomes sugar in the 3 Rainbow Trout.

The mountain was covered with thick growths of briers and prickly trees, and after going halfway all were glad to return, and so it had been many years since anyone had made the attempt, when one day there came a stranger to the little village and heard the sighing of the big mountain. “There is no use trying to find out what makes the sighing,” the old people told the stranger. “It has been tried many times, and each one who went failed to get farther than half-way up.the mountain.” “Ah, but that is just why I want to try,” replied the stranger. I shall start at daybreak tomorrow.” All the village people were out to see the stranger start, for he was still a stranger to them. He told them he would tell his name when he re- turned, and the old men shook the heads and said. He will never re- turn, for when he finds he has failed he will ride away by another road.” But he did not return in the time they had expected, and then they grew frightened by his long absence, but there was no sign of him to be seen on the mountain, and the sigh- ing was heard as usual that night. But what the villagers did not sec was what happened when the stran- ger disappeared among the trees. N and where the briers grew the thickest he found it; it was a big tree, with long, slender branches, and this the stranger tried to reach by sending his horse over the briers, but the faithful animal could not be made to go, so the rider dismounted and climbed through and over the sharp bushes until he came to the tree. Then he broke eff a branch as long as twice the length of his arm, but when he tried to return to his horse he found he had trouble in holding the branch, or rather he had hard work to go toward his horse, for the branch drew him in another direction. But the stranger held. tight to the branch with both hands,and though his clothes were torn almost to tat- ters and his hands sore from the sharp briers, he managed to reach his horse and mounted, helding the stick all the time. And now a strange thing happened. The stranger held the stick before him and it turned the pointed end toward the top of the mountain at the very center. Then the stranger knew why he had had trouble in getting back to his horse; he was going in the wrong, direction. To reach his horse he did not go up the mountain, but along the side. Taking the broken end of the stick im one hand, the stranger struck the briers and bushes with the point, and they separated and made a path for the horse and rider as though some unseen hand had chopped them off.

W.. he awoke the moon was the bridle, he horse to his feet and mounted him. Then he listened, and the sound that he heard was a sigh. He waited, . again he heard the sigh. When the stranger reached the 3 of the mountain he looked about, but nothing could he see but trees and rocks. Still he heard the sighing and now it seemed very close to him. its charm now. There were no briérs to clear away and the stranger held it loosely in his hand as he listened, but suddenly the stick flew out of his hand and seemed to fly to the of a high rock where it rested, . Tying his horse to a tree, the stranger went toward the rock, and as he did so the sighing grew nearer and louder. It came from the rock, and as the Stranger drew near to it he walked very carefully so that his steps might not be heard, and crept around the rock to find an opening. This rock stood on the very top of the mountains and close to the edge, so that one end of it was at the side of the mountain, and the stranger found that if the rock had an open- ing it must be on that side. All this time the sighing continued over the edge of the mountain by jecting rock. Yes, the rock did have an opening, and on a long stone shaped Ike a couch lay a beautiful ma her eyes closed and her hands t over her breast. If it bad not been for the sighing which came from her lips the stranger would have thought she was made of marble, so still and white she looked. (To Be Continued.)

The “Passing” of Kid Williams. OHNNY ERTLE, of Minnesote may be bantamweight champion of the world, as his friends in Minnesota insist. The only barrief to his gen- eral recognition as such will be the contrary opinion of about 20,000,000 persons representing 98 per cent of the male reading population of the United States. Whatever technical ponsideration Ertle may be entitled to, the fact that hig title rests on a decision of “foul,” given against him in a no- decision fight, will not go far to- ward convincing sporting men of his right to displace the title-holder. Furthermore, up to the time of the accident Williams appeared te. be having the better of the bout, the fourth round having been one- sided in favor of the little Dane. If planned ahead matters could not have been better framed for a return 20-round match, with the real right to the title at stake. However, in this instance at least, the conniving hand of the promoter is not to be seen, Fate being the match- St. Paddy Kelly, the St. Louis lightweight who has climbed steadily in the world since he forsook the primrose path and settled down to make fighting a ‘busi- ness, will battle for the third time with Gene Delmont of Memphis, Sept. 24, at Nashville.

Continued favorable weather over the spring wheat section, enlarging move- ment and free offerings by producers, constituted an irresistible influence. Liverpool also was dull and easier, so that the entire situation appeared to have reversed overnight. Even Septem- ber wheat reflected a loosening up of the tightness that has characterized it for days pust. After the first hour the market quieted appreciably. Much of the same sentiment ruled in corn, which. moved in sympathy with wheat because weather and tempera- ture indicated a yield of bumper propor- tions. That cereal was rather neglect- ed on the St. Louis market, however, with most of the dealings which took place in the December option. In view of the dullness prices were not depressed to any noticeable extent. Some attempt at 8 Was made ir. December oats, but the higher figure put upon that contract failed in attrac- tion. The Day’s Statistics. Grain arrivals at St. Louis for the day were 163,002 bu wheat, 68,400 bu corn, and 47,600 bu oats. There also ar rived 760 tons hay. Receipts of Wheat at Minneapolis were 452 cars, against 644 last year and 470 two years ago. Duluth re- ported 620 cars, against 520 last year and 699 two years ago. - Winnipeg receipts totaled 743 cars, against 391 last year and 1261 two years ago.
