He added that the na- tional Government could save $4,000,000 a year by doing away with them and paying only the deputies, who do most of the work anyway. “Why devil the President with trying to pick an honest efficient and economic Postmaster at Devil’s Lake, North Da- kota?’ exclaimed the former President. Later he apologized for the vigor of his expression. Would End Political Waste. *I want the postoffice system managed by the United States as any big going business is managed by a private com- pany,” he continued. ‘‘The deputy Post- masters, named under civil service, could and should be the chief executive and we would have an end to this inter- minable politics and waste.’” Taft suggested that the Government was entitled to “at least commuters rates’’ for passengers traveling on of- ficial business, and said that the ex- pense of fares, sleeping car berths and tips might be reduced $4,000,000 a year. Speaking before the Association of Commerce in the afternoon, Taft re- ferred to Col. Roosevelt as follows: “He has been belaboring Mr. and me, and I do not know that I can respond any better than by repeating a story my father used to tell. It related that a Scotch dominie took for his text, ‘The devil is like a roaring lion, going about seeking whom he may devour,’ He said: ‘I shall divide my text into three parts. In the first place, I shall inquire who the devil he is; secondly, I shall inquire where the devil he is' going; and, third, I shall close with a discussion as to what the devil he is roaring about.’ Likens Colonel to Mars. “Mr. Roosevelt has called the members of the league to enforce peace ‘peace prattlers,’ but I question his judgment on warlike matters. When Mr. Roosevelt talks of war he always comes up over the horizon like a Mars, red in color. We must always take that into consider- ation.” Taft indorsed President Wilson’s pre- paredness program.

HOME They Hope to Get $25,000 Extra From *‘Vhite Friends—Chicagoan Offers $25,000. St. Louis negroes last night began a 10-day campaign in an effort to raise $50,000 by popular subscription toward the erection of a Negro Y. M. C. A. building to cost $100,000. It was an- nounced that Julius Rosenwald of Chi- cago, president of a large mail-order house, had offered the St. Louis Y. M. C. A. $25,000 for a colored branch on con- dition that city residents raise $75,000 more by Dec. 28. The negroes are trying to raise $50,000 among themselves, and efforts wil] be made to get $25,000 from white residents. The campaign is under the direction of J. E. Moorland of Washington, who has conducted similar campaigns among the negroes of 12 other cities. Philemon Bevis, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., said the association needed $1,000,000 with which to build branches in St. Louis. Fine Suits and Overcoats, 4,75. Reduction Sale, Globe, 7th-Franklin. Adv. Are You the Best Dancer fn St. Louis?

By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Secretary Garrison declares, in his annual report to the President, just made public, that, if the administration plan for a conti- nental army falls, the United States will face some form of compulsory military service. In what “many men in official life characterize as the most remarkable re- port ever made by a Secretary of War, Secretary Garrison passes quickly over the widespread routine activities of the War Department and devotes practical- ly all his words to the subject of mili- tary preparedness, the need for which he sums up by saying: “So long as right and wrong exist in the world there will be an inevitable conflict between them. The rightdoers must be prepared to protect and defend the right as against the wrong.” Unsparing in his arguments in answer to those who would have no increase in the country’s military preparedness, Secretary Garrison declares that the ‘American people must view their re- sponsibilities and measure up to them, and then takes up arguments of the opposition. The Secretary discusses the Continen- tal Army plan, which he and the Presl- dent favor, as follows: Force of 500,000 Men. * “Tf the determination argived at by those whose knowledge, skill and expe- rience,makes their judgment practically conclusive, is accepted, we should have in this country a force of at least 500,- 000 "men ready for instant response to a nence of war. It is surely not necessary to state the many reasons why this force may not be supplied by a regular standing army of that number con- stantly under arms. There is no legal way that the National Guard can; in time of peace, be governed, officered or trained by the national Govarnment; and there is no legal way, excepting by volunteering, that it can be made avail- ‘able to the nation in time of war to any greater extent than specified in the Constitution, which confessedly falls short of the necessary used to which an army may have to be put in the event of a war with a foreign nation. | “It becomes necessary, therefore, to devise some method of making available for the use of the nation in time of war a’ national force in supplement of that part of the national force, towit: the regular army, which is constantly un- der arms; a part of the army, in other words, to be raised and maintained by Congress and governed in all respects in accordance with its directions. When this system is devised and made oper- ative, ‘the nation would militarily be in this situation: It would have, as the Constitution. provides, an army raised and maintained by it, composed of a certain number constantly under arms, and a very much larger number def nitely identified in personnel, provided with equipment and organization, pos- sessed of some training, and subject to instant call. The states would have tha organized militia, developed with Fed- eral assistance to the highest practi- cable point of efficiency, available for the purposes specified in the Constitu- tion, and so circumstanced that in the event of a war with a foreign nation they could, by thelr own volition, im- mediately take their place with the other military force of the nation.” Argues Against Delay. The report Sort wel up in detail the plan (of military preparation already made public and indorsed by President Wil- son, and declares the Swiss and Aus- tralian systems are fopnded on govern- mental institutions and . owers differ- ing so radically from taose in the United States that any atteapt to adap? either to American tse would mean great delay. “Hnough has been said to ‘demon- to get something done now—something that is well worth while—the best course is to recognize and operate unde: ¢x- isting conditions. The other course is to imagine a vain thing and accomplish nothing.” Are You the Best Dander tm St. Leute? COMMODORE JAMES Hl.

The fabrics of the overcoats that we are now selling are all the products of the English. They are goods which should have been in this coutitry many months be- fore this time, but owing to ‘‘requirements of war’? which English weavers had to fill at home, they were forced to delay the delivery of these goods. The late arrival ofthese fine fabrics naturally lessened the chances of” Schaffner & Marx sell- ing them, and rather than have a large stock of these clothes on hand, they have offered them to a few of their largest customers at liberal discounts.

The St. Louis Bar Association, after a4 period of comparative political inactiv- ity, is preparing to take an active part sn the coming city and State political campaigns. or several years the association pub- licly expressed its preference as to the candidates nominated for the Circuit Court bench in St. Loujs. In recent cam- paigns the only published selections have been made by the Municipal Voters’ Leaguc, which included many lawyers in its membership. To Pass on Judicial Aspirants, Charles P. Williams, president of the Bar Association, told a Post-Dispatch reporter today that the association will make recommendations as to the fitness of candidates when new Judges are to be elected next November. Glendy B. Arnold and Thomas L, An- derson. appointed as Circuit Judges by Gov. Major, are to serve only until the next election. They were appointed un- der a new law increasing the number of Judges in St. Couis. The Bar Association also is working on a plan to induce lawyers in ail parts of Missouri to help bring about. the nomi- nation of desirable candidates for the State Legislature. Would Pass on Legislators. While lawyers usually are in the mi- nority in: the Legislature, they play an important part in the making of the laws and the association believes that every lawyer candidate should be ap- proved by the fellow .members of his profession before being permitted to cualify as a legislator. The association also is planning a campaign to prevent unqualified persons from holding themselves out as lawyers in the police and justice of. the peace courts. : ‘ ner greg . ; : os - ‘ ‘ , = TTT ECCT TTT) ee ee = ee At Aeolian Hall ~ Aeolian-Vocalion Style G | : And $10 Worth of Records ee ja Balance ($105.00) Payable ; $1.25 per Week’ Here is a beautiful new model of tHe cele peated —_ ‘onan Ne phonograph that as created such a sensation in t | 7 “~ n the, music in- Though at such moderate cost, it contains all the important scientific discoveries and invention ge RR: og - eT ee Ce | TORRE aaah TR ' Riad neni i on a it ~ - : i ? , , | | ; . # , & i ry ef a a | as a’ is t is] | 1 ; i § that made the Aeolian Vocalion the greatest: phonograph the world has ever known. _ The list of Records given at the right—er your own selection of Records to the value of $10.00—is included with the Aeolian Voealion npon the very low terms quoted above.

Tolkaez, Di- rector of Public Welfare, are severely criticised, in an editorial in the Decem- ber number of the Journal of the Mis- sourl State Medical Association, for their action in ordering city hospital of- ficia's to admit an osteopath to treat Bryan Scott of Galesburg, Ill., a Knox College football player, who died in the hospital, Oct. 21, from an injury to his spinal cord, infiicted In a game with St. Louis University. The Mayor and Director Tolkacz is- to them that regular physicians of the visiting staff had given up the case as hopeless, and that the youth’s parents desired the osteopath to undertake the case a8 a last resort. Diagnosis Confirmed. The Journal editorial states that the physicians’ diagnos!s,. of a fracture of the cervical vertebrae, was confirmed by the autopsy. “The Mayor and the Director of Public Welfare,’’ the editorial states, ‘“‘actually took charge of.a poor unfortunate whvo was receiving the best possible care which could be provided in a metropolis and noted medical center. They dis- missed the skilled attendants who were honest and had informed the relatives of the actual state of affairs and turned the patient over to the- distracted and deluded father and an arragant osteo- path. This was all done without con- sulting those who were directly respon- sible. “By this transaction the medical pro- fession of St. Louis has surely received no incentive to be solicitous for the city’s sick poor. It is no encouragement to scientific medicine when its votaries are repudiated at such a crisis. What is the use of having men who know what to do, when they may be eliminat- ed at a nod from those “higher up," just when their opinion is of paramount importance?’’ Calls It Insult. “When the city places the legally li- censed practitioners of medicine in charge of the sick and afflicted the re- sponsibility for the care of the patients must rest solely on ‘the physicians in charge. Any attempt to force them to consult or associate with one who does not possess equal qualifications for treating the sick is an insult to the in- telligence of the medical staff and a vio- lation of the agreement under which the physicians give their services to the city gratuitously.” Free Xmas Cards, Ask the Grocer.

TO BE BUILT AT NAVY YARDS One Will Be Constructed at Mare Island, Cal., and the Other at New York—Cost of Both $15,600,000. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The two su- perdreadnoughts authorized by the last Congress will be built by the New Yor and Mare Island Navy Yards. This was decided upon late yesterday by Sec- retary Daniels, after a conference with President Wilson. Bids submitted by the Government yards came within the limit of cost fixed by Congress for each ship—$7,- 800,000—while bids of all private build- ers exceeded that amount. Both ships are expected to be completed within 24 months. Secretary Daniels announced that Con- gress would be asked to appropriate about $1,000,000 to equip the Philadelphia navy yard for battleship construction. —_—_—_ Are You the Best Dancer in St. Louis?

LOUIS AWAKEN? The value of the hearing on municipal docks before the aldermanic Committee on Streets, Sewers and Wharves, Tuesday, lay in the fact that practical business men testified to the press- ing necessity of rail and river terminals. Capt. Robert E. Lee of the Lee Line, operat- ing on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, said that the construction of modern rail and river ter- minals could revive river traffic. lines and others now operating would use them and new transportation lines will enter the field. Traffic Commissioner Coyle of*the Business Men’s League declared that the growth of St. Louis trade depends upon water transportation to regulate rates. St. Louis rail rates to Texas are higher than rail and river rates between Texas and New York and Boston. The lack of water rates is the basis of the Interstate Com- merce Commission’s ruling in favor of Atlantic ports. The fact that an East St. Louis firm is shipping by water more profitably than by rail and wa- ter to South America and would ship more lib- erally if the boat service permitted is a prac- tical demonstration of the value of river trans- portation. Water shipments increased the firm’s dividends 1% per cent this year. When will St. Louis awaken? = = i i MAROONING THE G ©.

You ask in the enclosed editorial why the health authorities of St. Louis should not show activity in a movement for clean bread, and that with the wrapped bread in St. Louis might be won. Each year, for several years, a bill providing for the wrapping of bread has been introduced of these years a public hearing has been held by the committee having the bill in charge. At each of these hearings the Division of Health has been missioner, and on each occasion an urgent plea has been made by us for this legislation. Each time the bill has been defeated, the last occur- ago. This department is not empowered to make laws and can only ask for the enactment of laws that suggested legislation is defeated this department is powerless. Without an ordinance providing for the wrap- wrapped. With the enactment of such an ordin- ance I can assure you that bread will be wrapped. It seems to me that in matters of this kind it Health, but rather a question of the press and the citizens of St. Louis to get behind legislation of this kind and see that such legislation is given make laws. Undoubtedly the two Kansas Citys have been more fortunate in their health legisla- tion than this city. that you can give us in the matter of securing an ordinance to compel the wrapping of bread.

Aid for Marie Moentmann. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Referring to the suggestion of “Practical Ameri- can” that Miss Moentmann be made factory inspec- tor, did it occur to*you that a 16-year-old girl knows nothing about machinery? How could she be an inspector? Another thing, do you realize that this child will have to have an attendant the rest of her life? Her people are good, but very poor. Right now this girl needs money to live on. Her mother is too ill to take care of her, and she has no one else to do it. I investigated this case myself, and although I am very poor myself (a working girl), I donated a dollar. The ladies in charge of this are all fine women, and I know mean to do the right thing, or at least all they can for this little girl. One of the ladies on that com- mittee, wife of my employer, told me that she thought it would be levely, if this' girl could be taught to sing, and then they would interest them- sélves in getting her a position singing, which would make her independent. This is about all she can ever do, A SYMPATHIZER, Another Call for Censorship. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The question is asked by an opponent of cen- sorship, whose article appeared in your paper Dec. 1. “Where are the indecent films?” That is like the question asked ‘by another newspaper here to sendin information respecting indecent films. OF cOurse the gentlemen expect no answer. Or do they really think that a sensible person is go- ing to advertise such films in the newspaper? The indignation expressed by one person to an- other as to films seen, is a sufficient commentary and proof that something is wrong. We are told, in that article, that thanks are due to everybody, cept to those persons who complain. I am enc of those who complain. Shall the citizen accom- plish by his own initiative what the present laws fail to accomplish? I wish to ask only one question: Why all the stubbornness that there is nothing indecent shown in the films, when remarks as to certain films of that nature have been town-talk? I myself have filed a complaint against a film based on informa- tion obtained from such town-talk. Cut out the indecent stuff before it is shown. ent as have a censorship that is a censorship, and not, a misnomer. Let us protect the showhouses where the films are finally shown, as well as the people, by official censorship. That is the only rom : If it is necessary to apply a remedy, producers have only themselves to blame, for they could have controlled the situation and did not. Now they insist that nobody shall control it though they have failed. They have created the National Board of Censorship, so-called, under their own) eontrol, Then what could you expect except the . situation? But let us have a rehip Sensorsh J. D.

Anyone who will take the trouble to ana- lyze President Wilson’s career in the White House cannot fail to observe that his achieve- ments have been chiefly literary, chiefly an eloquent and attractive expression of high ideals.—F rom an editorial in Collier’s of Dec. 11. Be it remembered that the Federal Reserve System, now in its second year, has given us a better and stronger financial organization, has tended to take the Treasury out of bank- ing, and has shown itself a long step toward the largest nationalism of the future.—An editorial in Collier’s of Dec. 11, If the editor of Colliers were capable of logical thought the periodical would be saved from some of its asininities; at least its editorials would be more consistent. = = * rT Fr HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND DIRTY BREAD. In urging that the Health Department show activity in the movement for clean bread the Post-Dispatch had in mind not merely the in- troduction of bills in the Board of Aldermen. The department has done its full duty in that regard. And the Post-Dispatch has given its columns to further these efforts and has shown the need of wrapped bread. Could not the Health Department do _ with. bread what has been done with milk—make a number of bacteriological tests of unwrapped bread, taken from wagons and handled by the drivers, and publish the results? Even if. no actual disease germs were found, merely an agglomeration of filth bacteria on the outside of unwrapped loaves, this would be a great help in educating public opinion and putting an end to the opposition. The public is as averse to eat- ing dirty bread as it is to eating fly-specked fruit or tainted milk or to drinking impure milk. Publicity has been the chief instrument . in bringing about the passage of the pure food laws. It saint ultimately give us clean bread. = = i A A great war has brought to America two sur- prises, namely: The weakness of the world peace sentiment and the unsuspected disloyalty of men who have sworn to support American institutions. = = = — w= PROHIBITIONISTS’ VIEWPOINT. Calling attention to a film that is being pro- duced in the interest of prohibition, the Post- Dispatch pointed out that the scene in which is depicted 100,000 advocates of prohibition surging around the Capitol and demanding action would be misleading. In answer to this, a reader made the assertion that 100,000 persons did actually march to the Capitol at Washington and demand prohibition. Writing from the offices of the Prohibition Na- tional Committee, 106 North La Salle street, Chi- cago, John A. Shields says: ‘It is not a matter of actual modern history that 100,000 citizens marched to the capitol and demanded prohibition. By actual count about 30,000 people, more con- servative statement of those who made the actual count was 20,000, did march, but they did not de- mand prohibition. They asked Congress to sub- mit a prohibition amendment to the various states and did not ask Congress to commit itself as to whether it was for or against such an amendment. Many wets voted for it and many drys voted against it. The merits of the prohi- hition question did not enter into consideration.” The gross exaggeration is characteristic of the prohibition viewpoint, which is based upon feel- ing alone. The Post-Dispatch agrees that the ' ABUSE of alcoholic drinks is a fertile source of suffering. It causes iliness, crime and some- times death. But USE and ABUSE are two dif- ferent things. Prohibitionists refuse to admit any difference. The careful and sensible use of food, horses, automobiles, railways, ships, rivers and oceans is a blessing and a necessity to humanity. The careless, reckless use, constituting abuse, of any or all of these is as much a source of trouble of the gravest kind as Is the abuse of alcohol. But The existing | driving there is no question. we find no one foolish enough to demand the wholesale prohibition of food, horses, automo- biles, railways, ships, rivers or oceans. If Prohibitionists could stop exaggerating and would think logically, prohibition would be a dead issue. If they thought at all on individual liberty they would be against it. _=_- a a.

The law designed to clear away all doubt of the legality of the use of public. school build- ings for public meetings was rendered not only ineffective, but in the opinion of Attorney Burk- hem of the School Board, prohibitive of such uses in St. Louis by the insertion of a joker. The joker clause limited such uses of school buildings to cities of 75,000 population or less. Who was responsible for the insertion of the joker which, under Mr. Burkham’s ruling, bars the school buildings to uses of great education- al and public value to the people of St. Louis? Representative John C. Robertson of this city confesses that he offered the amendment. It was an act of ignorance and stupidity on the part of a St. Louis representative, but he ex- cuses himself on the ground that he was asked to offer it by Supt. Blewett. Supt. Blewett denies that he was responsible for the clause. He says he is in favor of a wide use of the public school buildings to a certain extent. There has been opposition from the local school authorities to the popular use of the buildings. Organizations and individuals seek- ing to use them for educational and community purposes have been heavily handicapped. It would be interesting to know who fathered the clause. If the School Board adopts the Burk- ham opinion immediate steps should be taken to obtain a court ruling. The people of St. Louis want the public school buildings used for all legitimate educational and public welfare move- ments. They will .not be denied this larger field for their public educational equipment. = = * ii. i 4 Col.

A decision handed down by Judge Cardoza of the New York Court of Appeals is worthy of seri- ous consideration by all. He holds that “a way- farer is not at liberty to close his eyes in cross- ing a street. His duty is to use his eyes and thus protect himself from danger.” That there can be no palliation for reckless It is a most repre- hensible offense and should be dealt with sum- marily. But the indifference, almost verging on contempt, some pedestrians display for machines is equally blameful. It must not be overlooked that the streets pri- marily belong to vehicle traffic. The right to cross them at corners is reserved for the pedes- trian, but it is a divided privilege, and neither hould claim absolute authority. It is only reason- able that people on foot should display as much care at these points as persons driving machines. In the effort that is being made to minimize casualties in the streets caused by automobiles, much -more could be accomplished if the pedestri- ans would practice the same caution they demand of the drivers of cars. It is hoped that we may never have any other use for our new aerial monsters than speeding mail, freight and passengers. a. LA & a DR. WILLIAMSON SEES RED. Wilson is the most spineless President we have had since Buchagan. * * * If he isn’t courageous enough to stand before Con- gress and present his case himself, I don't see why poor men should be«called on for dollar ee ae to support him.—From Rev. Dr. J. Williamson’s speech at the Na- tional tea League’s luncheon. If Dr. Williamson had read something of poli- tics for the past three years he would know that the most frequent accusation made against Wil- son is that his spine is adamantine and that he has stretched his constitutional power and pre- rogative to coerce Congress into doing his will. He is accused of presidential despotism. The good Doctor’s second statement is queer, in view of the fact that the President has just submitted to Congress the longest message he has written, urgently recommending and advocat- ing national preparedness in order that we may be in position to defend our rights and interests. If Dr. Williamson had carefully read the Con- stitution he would know that the power of the President in legislation is limited to recommenda- tion by message and the use of the veto. If he had read American history carefully he would know that Congress bitterly resents the exertion of presidential power and influence to force the enactment of his pet measures. As an American the Doctor ought to know that efforts of the people to influence congressional action by arousing and crystallizing public opin- ion through agitation and organization and con- centrating its power on Congress is legitimate and efficient. It is thoroughly American. Does Dr. Willlamson want war? That is the only step the President has not taken to enforce American rights. Under the Constitution Con- gress alone can take this step. The Muldoon muscle and nerve shop seems to have charged Dr. Williamson with war “pep.” He sees red. -— .& + - THE SUCCESSFUL GOOSE. _ A Smithton (Ill.) farmer produces a 36-year-old goose, which has been strutting about his farm for that length of time. The farmer originally ac- quired it for table purposes, but in its infancy it exhibited such a proud bearing that he hadn't the heart to kill it. It grew prouder and prouder until it came to exercise a sort of proprietorship over the place. Similarly, self-respect and a decent pride are a great help in the walks of human life. Many a man has strutted right to the front with no other capital than the farmer's goose possessed. A good floor-walker may strut himself into the proprietor- ship of the big store. A policeman may strut into a captaincy. A church usher may likewise grow into a deacon. Count the strutters who come down the aisles to occupy their seats in the halls of Congress. Strutting is what makes big men out of little ones.

THOME READERS’ DAILY MAGAZINE _ ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Selected Fiction and Timely Topics sounds awful funny? Arrested? Fifty ~ Fires Rekindled The story of a three-days’ holi- day enjoyed under unique Cir- cumstances and by two rather originally-inclined persons. ———EEE7_ a 4 T half-past 12 Dunham, just home i A from rhe office, looked about his ; little uptown flat. The flat was x empty, and it seemed to inspire in him : a good deal of interest. The living room was empty. The din- ing room was empty, though his wife | had left a substantial cold lunch for him before she went away. His wife's room was empty and stripped of her belongings. In fact, Dora Dunham had gone away for a three days’ vacatiou _ without her husband. Dunham sneered, but it was a merry sneer without a trace of vindictiveness about it. “T guess,” he said, “‘that when Dora goes away and leaves me 4 bachelor she leaves me the privileges of a bach- elor as well.”’ Dunham looked the sort of young man who might have made any woman happy. Yet he seemed in a hurry to get away from his home. He ate his lunch, packed his suit case, left the | apartment and took a ticket for Atlan- tic Harbor. At 30 many men have a good deal of the boy left in their systems. Dunham, the $1500-a-year clerk, seemed to have shaken off the cares of business and the responsibilities of married life at the same time. Before his wife had departed alone it had been understood that the financial situation made a va- cation for both impossible that year Mentally each had reserved the right to a three-days’ outing. They had spoken of this wish about the same time, and had agreed to try the holiday separately. The train stopped at the station. Dunham walked toward the hotel, car- rying his bag. He had no sooner reg- istered than he made his way along the board-walk, and beyond it, to the edge of the summer settlement. The Girl in Blue. gIS heart was beating faster than 1H normally. He knew that some body expected him there. In point of fact, he had received and sent postal cards. When a man has the memory .- of several impassioned love affairs, and his wife has gone away for three days —well! Tho girl in blue was waiting for him at the edge of the rocks, just where she had: promised to be. As he approacheu she looked up with a little smile. For a moment both were too embarrassed to speak. “So you came!” she said, pause. "Yes," he answered, taking his seat upon the pebbly beach at her side. “I came, my dear. What else could you expect?"’ “And your wife has gone?” asked tne girl gently. He nodded. “She left this morning.” There was a pause. The girl played idiy with her parasol. Then—— “You have been married two years, Will?” she asked. “Yes. And you about the same length of time. Oh, my dear, if we had known how we cared for each other!" “Care,” said the girl, turning to him. “Will, I will confess that I care for you more than for any man on earth. I would ask nothing dearer than to spend the rest of my days with you!” “And your husband?” “Oh, he is absorbed in his affairs. He is a man of millionsa—what is the love of a wife to him?” “And my wife,’’ answered Dunham, ‘‘is shallow, worldly and emotionless.” “Will! What are you saying?” “I should not have said that,’’ he admitted penitently. ‘I would not have said it to anybody but you. But to think that we have two clear days to- gether! Where are you staying? At the St. Regis?’ “Yes.” “I am there, too. I went there in the hope that you would be there. Did you have any trouble in getting away?” “Not a particie,”’ replied the girl, with a trace of bitterness in her tone. “I told my husband that I was going away for three days. He said nothing, ex- ask me how much I required. like him; he measures every- terms of money.’ Horribly Sentimental. ELL, money's a pretty good thing to have,” said Dunham. * “And now, Gearest, I have a pro- posal to make, Since this meeting is to be a reminder of the days before we after a cept to That is thing in wut it's so-so horribly sentimental, “But isn't that what we for?’ came here “Yes,” she agreed. She Placed her arms a@round his neck. “Oh, Will, if only if we had never married—othera, I mean!" The two days passed like a happy dream.

Then——~ “Will, did you mean it when you said _ that your wife is shallow, woridly and + ahd “No,” he confessed. “I love her for What she is. I want to devote my life her, to try to make her happy.

How could he help caring?’ “He cares,” the girl admitted. “T was speaking falsely, dear. He loves me. And s0, we have our duties toward these two." “Yes,”" he agreed. A Perfect Holiday. HE last few minutes were gone. 7 They rose and sauntered back to- ward the hotel. In the shadows of the entrance, where nobody was, they exchanged a swift and furtive embrace. “I shall not see you before you go?” she asked. “No, dear. I think that would be best. We must take up our lives again with these memories to sweeten them, and without the pain of a new part- ing.” ; “You are right, Will,” she answered. “Good-night, dear,’”” she whispered softly. i ; The next morning Will Dunham start- ed for home. He left his suitcase at the office and did not go to his flat until the evening. When he entered there was a smile on his face ag if the mem- ory of the past three days had been for- gotten. , At his ring the door opened and a charming young woman fell into his arms. He caught her and covered her face with kisses. ‘‘Dora!”’ “Will, dearest!”’ “Wasn't it great bor!’* “Will, you were perfectly dear. We must go there every year.” . ‘We must, indeed.

By Dale Chapter XXIII. FTER Clara and her baby became A lost to me, I semed again to be without an interest in life. I had not seen Eric Lucknow for some time. I had not thought much about him while I was busy with Clara and the baby. But now I found my- self thinking -about him and often wished to see him. Haskall had told me he would not be at home for dinner. I asked to be al- lowed to meet him somewhere downtown and dine, but he refused me brusquely. As I sat alone in the darkening after- noon after a dreary day I wished some one would come in. Then as if in answer to my thoughts the telephone rang. Eric Lucknow’'s voice startled me. “What are you and Mr. Borroughs going to do this evening?’’ he asked. “Won't you waive all ceremony and dine with me if you have nothing better to do?’’ “I’m very sorry,’’ I told him, ‘but Mr. Borroughs is not at home—will not be at home until late.” Drummond, “Then you are alone?’ “Yes.’’ “Well, little lady, you are not going to satay alone. You are going to take dinner with me at the Manning. I'll be after you in just half an hour.” While I hesitated ag to whether I should accept or not be called ‘‘Good- by!’ and hung up the receiver, so dis- posing‘of the matter for me. Eric was a little late in coming for me, | and I paced up and down the drawing rcom, thinking of the events of the past month. Then I wondered if Haskal! would be angry with me for going out. I had left a note for him telling him where I was and with whom. He might come in and wish to join us, I told him. I could_not help a feeling of elation in spite o y fears of his disapproval. It would be so good to go out with Eric, so cifferent from the dreary evening I had su dreaded. I opened the door myself when he rang. I blushed as I thought it was not worth while to let James see him. But I might have saved myself the’ thought and the trouble. Standing beside him Feathe You Sind Saten rweisht °, Muffins ’ ly can’t begin to make as light ,and deli » muffins with plain wheat or corn flour as you can with MAMMA 'S PANGAKE FLOU READY FOR USE when I opened the door was a lovely woman about 50 years old, whom he in- troduced as his sister. She had been the reason for the informal invitation, he explained, as she had only arrived that afternoon. “(Do come in,”’ I said, after answering their greetings, not sure that I was pleased that someone else was going to share my evening with Eric, yet relieved toa know that now Haskall could have no cause to object to my going. “No, thank you,’’ Eric replied; “I am late as it is. I waited for Mrs. Barrett (his sister), and as I reserved a table we better go right along." I made no further objections, and we drove at once te the Manning. The din- ing room was full, and we were shown to the table Eric had reserved in the farthest corner of the room. The dinner was delicious. Eric and his sister were charming. I felt that per- haps life was worth living after all. We were sipping our coffee when a couple passing out caught my eye. I had just explained the reason, as he had given it to me, of Haskall’s inability to be with us. But surely that looked like Haskal] in evening clothes, I thought, as I giimpsed a man rising from a table on the other side of the room. But where had he dressed, and who was with him I could not see his companion's face, but from her height, her carriage, I was sure it was Madelaine Arnott. (To Be Continued.)

I had a bad cough and tickling in my throat, and I put “Vap-O-Rub” up my nostrils, and when I breathed it through my nose it would allay the tickling and I could sleep all night without cough- ing.

Standing Army Nnmbers 60,000 and Has Prussian Stamp on Training Methods. 15.—Sheuld Greece enter the European war aren® some interesting miltiary figures willbe added to,those already in the martial limelight, for Greece has seen quite a few wars since the middie nineties-- indeed, she has seen little else, and there has grown up among a certain class of the Greek people a strong mili- tary tradition. To the average Greek the great mili- tary’figure of his country is Constantine I., the King of the Greeks. But his greatness rests rather on the tenatity and enthusiasm with which he has con- stantly kept at the business of building up an army and the personal courage with which he has taken the active command of his troops in the last two successful wars. King Field Marshal. | The real military genius of Greece in the as yet merely Balkan sphere of his activities, is Gen. Victor Dousmanis, general of brigade, chief of the general staff of Greece: In Greece only the King is a field marshal—and Constantine I is field marghal not only of Greece, but of Prussia as well. For his. age, Gen. Dousmanis has: made rapid strides to arrive: at the sypréme effective command of the army of 66,000 men in time of p pgace and, roughly, 360,- 000. men in time‘of war. He was- born on Aug. 20, Greek calendar (Sept. 2), 1861, on the Island of Corfu. He-has been a professional soldier all his life, graduat- ing from the military schoo] and enter- ing the regular army at once as a Sec- ond Lieutenant in 1883, where he had a rapid rise in the engineering branch. of the service. When the.disastrous war withTurkey was ufrdertaken in 1897, Dousmanis had already been a Captain seven years. He was attached to the general staff of the then Crown Prince, now the King. As much below medium stature as the King is above average height, as dark as the King is biond, as silent and unsmiling as the King is expansive and genial, the two were in great contrast, though Gen. Dousmanis is seven years older than his sovereign, Clese to the King. Throughout that war and the } ears that’ followed in which Prince Constan- tine planned and éffected the regenera- tion of the Greek army, Dousmanis was his right-hand man. They shared and still. share the same admiration for or belief in the Prussian system, and de- spite the training of the Greek army as a whole by a French military mission, } King Constantine and his Chief of Staff shave succeeded in putting upon the offi- cers of the army a thoroughly Prussian stamp. During the successful war against the Ottoman Empire in 1912 the then Lieu- tenant teched to the staff of the Crown Prince Constantine and when the latter be- came King he was made chief of the general staff, a post which he held through the war against Bulgaria and has held since. In addition, he was also his sover- eign’s aide-de-camp in the war and he tells a story, which the King himself confirms, that the two were with the young Crown Prince Geoorge watching the battle of Kilkich from behind a cemetery wall when a rifle bullet struck the g0]d wrist watch on Prince George's arm, clipping the watch off neatly and eamashing it beyond repair, though not even leaving a scratch on the prince’s wrist. Both the King and his chief of ‘gtaff believe in being where they can see what is going on fn a battle. Remembers Two Honors. Bpeaking of the honors which have from tite to time ‘been bestowed upon him, it is characteristic of Gen. Dous- manis that he could only remember two ~that he is commander of the Order of the Savior—a Greek order—and wears the grand cordon of the Crown of Prus.- sta. An entirely different type is Gen. Con- stantine Moskopoulos, general of divi- sion, and commander of the third: Greek army. with headqparters at Saloniki., HMe.is an older m than Gen. Dots- manis, having been born in Constanti- nople during the Crimean, Wear in 1854 He, too, is a professional soldier, grad- uating from the Military Academy: ir 1877, and entering the artillery corps where he shortly made a name for him- self in the Mountain Artillery Corpa Possibly the best known of Greece's of Brigade, commaniing the Fifth Greek army, with headquarters at Jouina. Until recently he was Minis- ter of War in Venizelos’ ill-starred Cabinet,.and counted a very able man. made a reputation in the three wars blue and colors. $1.98 CHILDREN’S RR eA EERE TRIMMED HATS Beautiful styles —all colors —sale ¢ , | ONIN, bain o ine dss $2.98 SILK VELVET HATS Lyons Velvets ye and velours— all new styles —sale sale price... - Sa» tay Oe $5.00 to $10.00 00 to $10.00 ~ TRIMMED HATS” Fur and Ostrich trimmed styles —all new shapes......-. . aa Ro Oe “$1 98 10 $2.98 present, therefore, his influence in the Greek m eclipse.

There has not been in the his- tory of the Festival Association a prettier array of dolis than those for this seasop, nor has there been more evident care and skill brought to bear upon the work of dressing them. Not one of the entire lot will fail to create much joy in the heart of the recipient at.the Coliseum Christmas day, if those already prepared for that event may }: be depended upon as an index of the costuming yet to be done. The task of delivery. of these dolls to those who have claimed the privilege of dressing them is heavy and necégsarily some- what slow, but will no doubt be ¢om- pleted not later than the middle of next week. Anyone wishing to obtain a supply before that time may do so upon application to the Post-Dispatch. A benefit affair for the Christmas Festival.

With about 18,000 names on the mailing list, it was not practicable to get out all the subscription blanks at one time. More thar half:of-them had gone out yesterday, and today the final install- ment is being delivered. There is at the heading of each of the blanks a con- cise statement of the hospitality plan of the Festival Association, appropri- ately illustrated. The facts and figures set forth thereon will no doubt be suf- ficient information for those not already fully acquainted with the work, but in the event something further in that line may be desired, it will be cheerfully given upon inquiry of the Festival Asso-. ciation, in the Post-Dispatch office, ° One important fact that is not incorpo- rated in the heading of the subscription blank is that, no matter what expense may be incurred in its. administration, not a penny of the contributed fund is applied to its payment. The Post-Dis- patch cheerfully takes care of that. It is the belief of the Executive Com- mittee of the Festival Association that the system adopted will provide a Christmas dinner for every family un- able to buy one.

ST.LOUIS Pi POsT-O ‘ DISPATCH —__ sdiineeseallllennentae: Additional Sport || | BRITISH GOLFERS: T0 TOUR U. 5. FOR WAR RELIEF FUND Vardon, Braid, Taylor, Ray and Others May Appear in Golf Matches Here. ABROAD SCHEME TRIED Professionals Past Military Age Use This Means of Contrib- uting Aid. Golfers are keenly interested in a re- port that Harry Vardon and several other famous English professionals, will tour America during the coming season. Vardon, Taylor, Ray, Braid and other former holders of the English Open Championship played a series of four- ball matches throughout England during the past summer, turning’ the net re- ceipts over to War Relief Fund. If proper arrangements can be made with a quartet of these players the plan is to have them tour the United States and Canada during the 1916 season with the same ultimate use of the gate re- ceipts. Most of the professionals men- tioned are past the age where their services would be acceptable in_trench warfare but they are understood to be eager to turn their golfing ability into material assistance for England during the continuation of the war. Ray, Var- don and Braid had engaged passage to this country last summer out the bink- ing of the Lusitania caused them to abandon the trip. snetiagiiiaiie The proposal of the conference com- mittee that the middle western univer- sities drop baseball as an intercollegiate sport is certain to raise violent objec- tion among the alumni of the leading institutions of that section. College base- ball in the Middle West dates back as far as 1865, when the University of Mich- igan nines began to play the game. In the early ‘90s the present intervarsity series were started and have continued without a break ever since. The Chi- cago-Wisconsin, Tilinois-Chicago games began in 1893, while Minnesota and Chi- cago and Michigan and Chicago met for the first time a year | later. Baltimore isaliaeaa Indoor Meet. Officers of the Amateur Athletic Union report that the coming indoor cham- pionship games will not be held in Bal- timore as was previously announced. The Junior and Senior meets will, in all probability, be held in New York City as in the past few years, Baltimore, the home of A. A. U. President Turner will be a bidder for the games a year hence when conditions and arrangements for the double meet are more propitious. Federal League authorities state unofficially that the plan of “jitney baseball” will not be featured, if at- tempted at all, during the 1916 sea- son. It is reported that the matter will be fully discusse@ at the next meeting of thé independent league and that apparently a majority of the club owners are in favor of aban- doning the 10-cent stands. Sweden May Invite U. S. Ath- letes. The Swedish athletic authorities are understood to favor a visit of an American track and field team to Sweden next summer for a series of international meets. All - hopes of holding the Olympic games during 1916, as previously planned, has been abandoned by the International Olym- pic Committee and that body, as well as the officers of the International Athletic Federation, is reported to favor such a meeting of American and swedish track and field stars, Ernie Hjertberg, the Swedish national ath- letic instructor, will probably be del- ezated to visit this country shortly and arrange all details for the tour. Johnny Ertle, the St. Paul bantam, who won from Champion “Kid” Wil- liams of Baltimore on a foul a short time ago, has won all of his battles since he arrived in the East last Oc- tober. Hig swift, rushing style, and fast action. with both hands, have been very effective. He has won all of the four bouts in which he took part In New York and in Philadel- Bia outpointing his opponents clev- erly in the first two and scoring knockouts in the others. Ertel has made an excellent impression on all who have watchej his ring work here and the majority of the experts are of the opinion that if the St. Paul lad meets illiamg again the result will settle decisively which of them is ia to the bantam championship e.

By Robert Edgren, By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—We were talking over the “fighting game” with Ad Wolgast yesterday afternoon. Ad didn’t see how anyone who can fight should have any financial worries. “I thought I’q retire, once,” said Ad, “but then along came Bat Nelson and insisted upon my giving him a 10-round match in Milwaukee and I made so much money ouc of it that it seemed a shame tv quit when the prextns Was so easy. tf wasn’t anx- ous to knock Bat out that night. It was to be his last fight, and I felt sorry for him. After having it my own way for six rounas I let ~ i And what do you think that old figh ing sun of a gun did? Why he hit me one of tke hardest punches I ever got; broke two of my ribs. After that I tried to do some of the best footwork I ever did. If he had ever landed there again it would have been curtain. “AS soon as my ribs were mended I went back to fighting. Just before I boxed Bat that 10 rounds I had made up my mind to forget all about the ring. But after fighting for years a fellow feels lost without something to do. So I suppose I'll be busy for a few years more. It isn’t the money entire] I like to be fighting. I be- lieve I'm better than I’ve been and if I take a little time for hard training i beat Welsh and be champion again Manager Not Needed. “I've always been my = own best matchmaker,” Wolgast went on. “I made the biggest money when I fixed up my own matches. I left Tom Jones when I was no longer .a “hampion, and went right mone making money better than when I had the title. If I'd listened to Jones I'd be lucky to =. vie hg ee! ‘said I. ‘‘And if it isn’t too per- sonal a ,auestion, how much have you?” ““Oh,””’ said id ve a see th record “and. rp tell you what f e fighes.

Hardin and Reber ‘‘Pros’’? The announcement that Hord Hardin and Charley Reber are going to revive the old Premier basket ball five invites the question: “Whom will they play against?” Amateur teams that oppose them will be suspended if they o se the Premier combination, for both Hardin and Reber have professionalized shocubel van by ac- cepting money for officiating at games. The Y. . fives might play them —they do not accept A. A. U. rulings. If the Muny fives comes into Hine with the A. A. U., as expected, they will also be barred from professionalizing them- selves, too. C. A. C. Gets New Stars. Otto Pohlman, formerly of San An- tonio, Tex., where he «played on the Travers Athletic Club five, which won the State basket ball championship, is now a member of the Columbian Club and an alternate at forward position. An riggs center man is also available at the C., of which Marquard, center last year for the North End five, is now a member. The C. A. C. team has been working at the South Broadway A. C. pending im- provements being made in the C- Cc. courts. When the Columbian hall is completed a regulation court, 70x40 feet, with seating capacity for persons around it, will be available. The Illinois A. C. five, which shows here New Year's day, is the legitimate ational championship team of the coun- , having won the title in Cincinnati. | That the local five will not be outclassed is shown by the comparative scores of the Chicago and 8t. Louls quintets ainet the same strong five, the West Side Browns of Chicago. The at Bm e. team defeated this five, 23—21, while the Columbian — won by a 10-point great- er margin, 3 to 21.

By Lensed Wire From the New York Burean of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “Failure of the stock market ‘v re- spond with advance in perce tu Lue publication of an unexpectedly favi rable statement of unfinished business [rem the Uinted States Steel Corporation, Showed today that speculative lmpetus has been taken out of Wall street for the present. Only once in all its history uid the Steel Corporation issue a report ihnat disclosed for a single month 4 Breater increase in unfilled orders than was disclosed for the month of Noverm- er “Until the report was made, at noon tcday, Wall street had been led to beHeve that there would be shown an increase of something like 600,000 or 70v,- 00 tons; instead, there’ was shown an increase of 1,024,000 tons, the largest in the corporation’s history with the sin- gle exception of October, 1902, when tnere was an increase of 1, 043,000 tons. The November increase was very much larger than that of the preceding month, when the banking up of Steel Corporation orders amounted to 84:,000 tons, and when people in the steel trade and in Wall street considered the show- ing extravrdinary. ‘That the stock market failed to re- spond: to the statement of today, and that United States Steel common actu- ally declined in price after the state- inent had been made, was heartily dis- appointing to those who lately had locked forward to an expanding stock inarket speculation, with prices advanc- ing as Christmas and the end of the year approached. “Steel common, having advanced from helow 87 to 87% before publication of the unfilled ofders statement, fell back be- low 87 again afterward; and the whole market was inclined, if not to actual weakness, at least to drag along quietly after an early advance. The explanation cffered was that the Stock Wxchange did not like the diplomatic situation abroad, and that at present, favorable domestic considerations were being nul- lified, from a stock market point of view, by unfavorable foreign considera- tions. “Events enough have occurred lately to draw attention to affairs abroad, and possibly the wonder should be that the security markets have stooi the effect of these events so well, growing dull instead of developing outright weakness. There has been the note to Austria re- warding the sinking of the Ancona: there has been the flat statement of the German Chancellor that peace over- tures must come not from Germany, but from the allies; there has been the fur- ther darkening of the situation in the Balkans; from the point of view of Kritish and French interests, there has been the moral influence of the retreat from Bagdad, and the latest successiu! drive of German troops on the’ west front; there has been the rapid decline in the New York Stock Exchange price of the Anglo-French bonds. All these developments have been open to bearish construction, yet today’s market, like the markets of other days this week. shcwed how, instead of driving stocks downward, they have contributed only te limit speculative purchases, and to lead a few cautious individuals to sell. ‘For the most part; the day’s prices were higher than those of Thursday, by a small margin. Gains of a point or more in a few specialties indicated the direction of the little speculative inter- esl that was munifested. The standard railroad shares were negiected, but herc, tco dullness was accompanied by strength, which was more desired than weakness, in reflection of the diplomatic situation in gran DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, Dec. 10. —The only note- worthy feature of today’s 4 trading was ‘rench 6-per- cent bonds for future delivery at the new low quotation of 94%. Numerous rransactions were recorded a that level, including one lot of 160. ular sales were again made at 97% and Ona, Dealings in standard stocks were light. with few changes of im- portance, except in war shares, where sonie moderate gains were made.

United States Steel was in strong in anticipation of the einanretees tonnage reports. Bonds were lowe Brisk buying of Stee! followed the publica- tion of the record-breaking November ton- nage figures, the stock rising almost a point to 87%. This gain was soon lost. however = extensive offerings and heaviness of rails, The increase in the unfilled tonnage—1,- (24, 037 tons—was a surprise to the financial district, as the figures were well above and in many cases double, all previous estimates. The figures also mark the ereat- est increase ever announced bv the Unrittai Steel Corporation, and the total unfilie4. tonnage is, with one exception, the largest ever reported. The unfilled tonnage for March, 19138, was 7,468,956. Just how much of this unfilled tonnage. is represented by foreign business is not def- nitely known ovutsile of the cor ration, but it is generally believed tha vuropean orders remesent a considerable aot. In addition to the European orcers the Steel Corporation is suid to have booked large orders in South Amertca during November, wend the orders have tended to swell na- terlally the unfilled tonnage. Domestic demands showed a large in- crease over Iast month. all of which tended to aswell the total of business booked. Shortly previous to the announcement from the Steel Cerporation’s office Unitel States Steel common had risen to above 87 and a few minutes after the figures were an- nounced a sale at 87% was recorded There was no immediate activity in the stock after the figures were announced, as there was a deciied lack of buying sentiment.
