By Karl K. Kitchen. A Staff Correspondent of the ‘Post-Dispatch. (Copyright, 1915, by the Press Publishing Co.) BRUSSELS, Nov. 5. ARRIVED in Brussels today at 12:30 on the Berlin-Brussels-Lille express, a through train from Berlin to Lille, equipped with sleeping and restaurant cars; for, once one has a pass from the German General Staff, the journey from Ber- lin to Brussels is no more difficult or inconvenient than before the war. There are two night trains from Berlin to the Relgian capital; one with sleeping cars only to Cologne, the other | ture which the town presented. A Germar officer who was standing beside me on the platform in- formed me that Luttich had not been damaged in the slightest. The forts on the chain of hills sur- rcunding the city had been destroyed, but no shells had fallen into the city. I later confirmed his statement in a conversation with a Liege man- ufacturer in Brussels. Liege, or Luttich, if you prefer its present of- ficial name, lies in the bottom of a valley, It re- quires two engines to haul the train to the heights above the city, andithe journey is slow enough te give one a good opportunity to see the town. At the end of a 15-min- with through sleepers to Lille. Both leave at 9:30 from different stations. Of course, I took the through train, and as I hed a compartment to my- self the trip was prac- ° tically the same as HIS is the first of a series of ar- ticles by Mr. Kitchen who recently spent ten days in Belgium. He was favored by a pass by the German General Staff that entitled him to go everywhere that he might learn and tell of the true conditions in Belgium. This he will do in his series of articles. utes’ climb the city lay beneath me, clear- ly revealed in the bright November sun- shine. While I was drinking in the view the train plunged into a tunnel, and when it emerged Liege was on when I made it two years ago. The price of the ticket and sleeping compartment was seas the same—if I remem- ber correctly. Of course, the most difficult thing about a trip to Belgium is obtaining the necessary pass. Trav- elers from America are not permitted to enter Belgium from Holland and unless one is con- nected with the Belgian Relief Commission, it is necessary to go to Berlin to obtain the permis- sion. This takes a week at least—often two weeks —and most of the applications are refused. In my own case it required 10 days to get the pass. During this time I visited: the Foreign Of- fice several times and the General Staff offices twice a day for four days before I obtained the permit. I was told that the delay was due to the fact that my name had to be sent to the military authorities in Brussels and my visit ap- proved by them before the Berlin authorities could act, * The pass explicitly stated my reasons for visit- ing Belgium, what I was anxious to see, whom I wished to interview and my promise to return the pass to Berlin within ten days. I must say that the officers I met at the Gen- ’ eral Staff in Berlin were most polite. Haupt- man Altvater, the Prussian Captain I came most in contact with, was graciousness itself. He gave me advice about trains, the interesting things to see and when he gave me the pass he shook my hand like an old friend and wished me a “Gute reise.” The sleeping car which I took at the Postdamer station was filled principally with officers. There was only one other civilian. However, the con- ductor was most attentive and early in the morn- ing, before the train reached Cologne, I was served with coffee and rolls—the first break- fest. A restaurant car was attached at Cologne and when the train reached Oachen (Aix la Chapelle) I entered it to have a real morning meal. Foreigners Treated Like Officers. N the door of the restaurant car was a sign reading “Nur fur officer personen”’ (for officers only), and I was on the point of turning back when a gray-coated officer who had followed me from my car informed me that the rule did not apply to foreigners. I accepted his word and was soon enjoying a very good breakfast. Thee were a dozen officers in the car, nearly every one of them wearing an fron cross. They paid surprisingly little attention to me and I remained in the car until the train reached Herbesthal, the first town on the Belgian frontier, where all the civilian passengers were examined. My three suitcases were carried into the sta- tion by a porter, and after their contents had been examined—it is forbidden to bring any newspa- pers, printed matter or letters into Belgium—lI presented my pass to an officer, who promptly an- nounced that he knew I was coming and that everything was O K. I was not surprised, and my American passport was stamped without even being opened. A pass from the General Staff is, of course, unquestioned. So in less than ten min- utes I was back in my compartment on the train. There were less than a score of second-class pas- sengers to be examined and no third-class. Con- sequently the delay was very brief—less than twenty minutes—and the train soon started on its trip across Belgium. The first thing I noticed when the train pulled i sed oP the atation ot Herbesthal was a German sentry standing at attention. A minute later | Ww ; another and 'n a few minutes still another. ¢, but there ts no doubt that every foot of the ay r for I saw fully a hun- | 5 nis between ) posite side of the hotel. “I have 600 rooms—all with bath,” he confided, }a philosophical shrug. the other side of the mountain. The reason for the German attack on Liege is apparent to anyone who makes this journey. It is the easiest way to enter Belgium from Germany and it is the main railway line to Paris. A few miles beyond Liege I caught my first glimpse of trenches. The conductor of the car was much amused at my interest in them, for he explained that they were merely practice trenches. While we were talking the train sped by rows of farms, and on many of them men and horses were plowing. There were numerous farmhouses in sight, and except for the inevitable sentry every half-mile or so it was difficult to realize that I was in “war-stricken” Belgium. The train did not stop at Termonde, where the Belgians made another stand after the fall of Liege. There were no traces of destruction visible there, at least so far as I could see. But when the train pulled into Louvain I saw the mute evidence of the destruction of Belgium of which I had read for more than a year. For several minutes before the train stopped at the station—or rather the remains of the sta- tion, for it, too, was partially destroyed—ruined houses were visible on both sides of the railway line—with roofs gone, the fire-swept walls stood out in the clear morning sunshine like a city after a great fire. When the train finally stopped at the stetion platform nothing but ruins were in sight. Louvain a “Horrible Example.”’ OR some unaccountable reason the train F stopped here for 10 minutes. As most of the officers took advantage of the delay to walk up and down the platform, I followed their example. As there was nothing to obstruct the view I got a very good glimpse of Lowen (for, of course, the Belgian name has been replaced by the German one) as it is today. In Brussels I was informed by an officer of the “presse centrule,”’ or press bureau, where of- ficial information is given out, that 936 buildings in Lowen had been destroyed because German officers and soldiers had been murdered in their sleep and brutally outraged by the inhabitants. There is no doubt that 963 buildings were de- ‘stroyed, for block after block of Louvain’s busi- ness and residential district is in ruins today. One can see that with half an eye. In England and America it has been charged that the Germans in Loyvain fired on their own troops in the dark and they destroyed one-half of the city as a vent for their blind anger. Need- less to say, this is vigorously and emphatically denied by German officers. They claim the wom- en of Louvain were particularly treacherous and that dozens of their soldiers were stabbed by them. In justice to the Germans it is only fair to say that many Belgians admitted to me that unarmed German soldiers had been attacked by their wom- en folk. Still Louvain remains a “horrible ex- ample” of what a military commander can do. It is only a 40-minute run from Louvain to Brussels and almost before I could realize it | was climbing out of the train at the Gare du Nord. I found a porter without difficulty and was soon in the Palace Hotel in the square opposite the railway terminal. There was no further examination of baggage or request to produce my military pass or pass- ports. Once one succeeds in entering Belgium with the approval of the military authorities there is no further difficulty until one wants to leave. But that is another story. Plenty of Money but Little Seen. SCHNEIDER, the manager of the Pal- M ace Hotel, remembered me from a pre- ® vious visit and he gave me a fine apart- ment overlooking the botanical gardens on the op- adding sadly. “But enly 200 guests. Your apart- ment is usually 30 francs, but as it’s war time you may have it for 20.” “It’s not I'ke the old days,” I replied, thanking him for the courtesy. “No, but it might be worse.” he admitted with “There's plenty of money Continued on Page Twelve. Richard Harding Davis Finds Arras Bormbarded Daily by the Germans for a Year A City of Silence and Grotesque Ruin By Richard Harding Davis. A Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch in Europe. N Northern France there are many buried | towns and villages. They are buried in their own cellars. Arras is still uninterred. She ig the corpse of a city that waits for burial, and day by day the German shells are trying to dig her grave. They were at it yesterday when we f{¢ visited Arras and this morning they will be hammering her again. Seven centuries be- fore this war Arras was famous for her tapes- tries, so famous that in England tapestries were called Arras. Now she has given her name to a battle, to different battles that began with the great bombardment of October a year ago and each day since then have continued. On one single day, June 26, the Germans threw into the city shells in all sizes from three to sixteen inches and to the num- ber of 10,000. That was about one for each house. This bombard- ment drove 2700 in- habitants into exile, of which 1200 have now returned. The army feeds them, and in re- sponse they have opened shops that the shells have not already opened, and supply the soldiers with tobacco, postcards, fruit and vegetables from the gardens not hidden under bricks and cement. In the deserted city these civilians form an in- conspicuous element. You can walk for. great distances and see none of them. When they do appear in the empty streets they are like ghosts. Every day the shells change one or two of them into real ghosts. But the others still stay on. With the dogs nosing among the fallen bricks and the pigeons on the ruins of the cathedral, they know no other home. As we entered Arras the silence fell like a sud- Cen change of temperature. It was actual and menacing. Every corner seemed to threaten an ambush. Our voices echoed so loudly that uncon- sciously we spoke in lower tones. The tap of the Captain’s walking stick resounded like the blow of a hammer. The emptiness and stillness was like that of a vast cemetery and the grass that has grown through the paving stones deadened the sound of our steps. This silence was broken only by the barking of the French 75s, in parts of the city hidden to us, the boom of the German guns in answer, and from overhead by the aero- planes. In the absolute stillness the whirl of their engines came to us with the steady vibra- ticns of a loom. : WALLS OF HOUSES SHOT AWAY, BUT FURNITURE REMAINING IN PLACE NDER our feet were shell holes that had U been recently filled and covered with with bricks and fresh earth. It was like walking on newly-made graves. On either side were cellars into which the houses had dumped themselves, or, still balancing above them, were walls prettily papered, hung with engravings, paintings, mirrors quite intact. These walls were roofless and defenseless against the rain and snow. Other houses were like those toy one built for children with the front open. They showed e bed with pillows, shelves supporting candles, books, a wash stand with basin and pitcher, a piano, a reading lamp. In one house four stories had been torn away, leaving only the attic sheltered by the peaked roof. To that height no one could climb, and exposed to view was the collection of trunks and boxes familiar to all attics. As a warning against rough handling, one of these, a woman's hat box, had been marked “fragile.”’ Secure and serene it smiled down 60 feet upon the mass of iron and bricks it had survived. In other streets it was the front that was in- tact, but when our Captain opened the street door we faced a gaping cellar. Nothing beside re- mained. Or else we stepped upon creaky floors that sagged, through rooms swept by the iron brooms into vast dust heaps. From these pro- truded wounded furniture; the leg of a table, the broken arm of a little chair, a headless statue. ‘ From the debris was picked the many little heir- | jcoms,” souvenirs, possessions that make a home. Photographs with written inscriptions, postcards bearing good wishes, ornaments for the center tuble, ornaments for the person, images of the church, all crushed, broken and stained. Many shop windows: were still dressed invitingly as they were when the shell burst, but beyond the goods exposed for sale was only a deep hole. The pure deviltry of a shell no one can explain. Nor why it spares a looking glass and wrecks a wall that har been standing since the twelfth cen- tury. It loves a shining mark. To what is most beautiful it is most cruel. The Hotel de Ville, which was tounted among the most presentable in the North of France, that once rose in seven arches in the style of the renaissance, the shelis 4 RICHARD HARpinG DAVIs .. marked for their own. And all the houses ap- proaching it from the German side they de- stroyed. Not even those who once lived in them could say where they stood. There is left only a mass of bricks, tiles and plaster. They suggest the homes of human beings as little as does a brickyard. We visited what had heen the headquarters of Gen. de Wignacourt. They were in the gar- den of a house that opened upon one of the principal thoroughfares and the floor level was 12 feet under the level of the flower beds. To this subterranean office there are two en- trances, one through the cellar of the house, the other down steps from the garden. The steps were beams the size of a railroad tie. Had they not been whitewashed, they would look like the shaft leading to a coal pit. A soldier who was an artist in plaster had decorated the entrance to the shaft with an ornamental facade worthy of any public building. Here, secure from falling walls and explosive shells, the General, by telephone, directed his .attack. The plaee was as dry, as clean and as com- pact as the Admiral’s quarters on a ship of war. The syitchboard connected with batteries buried from sight in every part of the unburied city, and in an adjoining room a soldier cook was pre- paring a most appetizing luncheon. Above us was three yards. of cement, rafters and earth, and crowning them, grass and flowers. When the owner of the house returns he will find this addition to his residence an excellent refuge from burglars or creditors. Fersonally we were glad to escape into the open street. Between being hit by a shell and buried under 12 feet of cement, the choice was diffi- cult. We lunched in a charming house, where the table was spread in the front hall. The bed of ihe. officer temporarily occupying the house also wes spread in the hall and we were curious to know, but too proud to ask, why he limited him- self to such narrow quarters. Our Captain re- warded our reticence. He threw back the heavy curtain that concealed the rest of the house and showed us that the rest of the house had been deftly removed by a shell. The owner of the Louge had run away, but before he went, fearing the Germans might enter Arras and take h‘s money, he had withdrawn it and hidden it in the garden. The money amounted to $2500. He placed it in a lead box, soldered up the opening and buried the box under a tree. Then he went away and carelessly forgot which tree. During a lul! in the bombardment, he returned and until 2 in the morning dug frantically for his buried treasure. The soldier who guarded the house told me the difference in the way the soldiers dig a trench and the way our absent host dug for his lost money was gre:tly marked. I found the leaden box cast aside in the dog kennel. It was the exact size of a suitcase. As none of us knows when he may not have to bury a quarter of a mil- lion dollars hurriedly, it is a fact worth remem- bering. Any ordinary suitcase will do. The sol- dier and I examined the leacen box carefully. Ent the owner had not overlooked anything. WROUGHT IN CATHEDRAL BY THE HEAVY GERMAN SHELLS HEN we reached the ruins of the cathed- W ral we did not need darkness and fall- ing rain to further depress ts or to néke the scene more desolate. One lecking in all reverence would have been shocked. The wanton waste, the senseless brutality in such destruction would have moved a statue. Walls as thick as the ramparts of a fort had been blown fnto powdered chalk, there were great breaches in them through which you could drive an omnibus, in one place the stone roof and supporting arches had fallen, and upon the floor where for 200 years the people of Arras had knelt in prayer was a mighty bar- ricade of stone blocks, twisted candelabra, brok- en praying chairs, torn vestments, shattered giass. Exposed to the elements, the chapels were cpen to the sky. The rain fell on sacred emblems cf the holy family, the saints and apostles. Upon the altars the dust of the crushed walls lay inches deep. The destruction is too great for present repair. They can fill the excavations In the streets and board up the shattered show windows. But the cathedral is too vast, the destruction of it too nearly complete. The sacrilege must stand. Until the war is *ver, until Arras is free from shells, the ruins must remain uneared for and uncov- ercd. And the cathedral by those who once came to it for helo and guidance wi!'! be deserted. But not entirely deserted. (Copyright, 1915, by Richard Harding Davis.) HAVOC Mobilization Difficultes W ould — $ x te — id = 4 Imperil U.

By PROF. R. M. JOHNSTON, Lecturer in the Army Oollege at Leavenworth, Kan. (Copyright, 1915.) HE question we left over from last Sunday's - article for a minimum standard on which to base any scheme of national defense was this: “How can we, in 14 days, hold a line of 20 miles front, within 100 miles of New York, against an opponent now, consisting of representatives of the general staff and of the railroad companies. For the military should not control the railroad working, which they do not understand, nor should the railroad men control the concentration projecta, which they do not understand. A combination has to be effected, and if arranged before the emergency arises it will insure the adjustment of ideas between the military and the railroad men, which is indispensable for smooth working. We know enough of made up of first line troops equivalent to the Germans, who would be in sufficient force to assume the offensive along a con- siderable part of that front?” The reply in- volves three problems. That of mobilization, that of concentration and that of tactical efficiency. Mobilization prob- lems are susceptible to infinite variation, and it is best, first of all, to view them very broadly. If we havea wide distribution of resources, a thin rail- road system, a short- ganized for war, with rapidity.

JOHNSTON. the history of railroad concentration since 1870, however secrét the facts may be held oy the European staffs, to construct «a com . mission . on sound lines. An army corps, the headquarters of which should be in San Francisco, with, units distributed ove four or five outlying states, could mobilize perhaps one division in three weeks, the rest of its troops in six; this army corps could not be concen- trated at New York City as a unit in much From St. Louise- ness of horses, a large percentage of reservists to men with the colors, mobilization is a painfully slow process. One of the best known French critics, Gen. Maitrot, es- timated, just before the present war, that in Russia it would take two months to mobilize the imperial guard. Now Russian and American conditions are very similiar; our country is even more sparcely settled; but on the other hand, our railroad facilities are superior. To mobilize an army means to convert it from a peace to a war footing, to give it horse and mechanical mobility, to supply it with ammuni- tion, to fill the ranks to war strength, so as to get the maximum value from the staff of trained officers. This process is not difficult if the condi- tions are good. Assume, for instance, one prob- lem is to mobilize one regiment in New York City. We can quickly fill up the ranks (assuming we have a reserve system), get the men their out- fits, secure horses, wagons and ammunition. Two or three days might see the job through. But suppose it is not 1000 men in New York, but {,000,000 men distributed throughout the country -- how does the problem look? Mobilization Difficulties Beset U s. E will essume that this million are W regulars and not militia, and that to place them on a war footing means the calling up of not more than 30 per cent of the reservists and horses. If they were militia the problem would be multiplied at a rapid rate. Within the triangle, Chicago-Richmond-Boston (in a very rough sense), the difficulties of mobili- zation would be a great deal less than in the thinly peopled districts of the Southern, South- western and Western states. Through those states no one who has looked into the facts governing European mobilization can imagine that it would take less than six weeks, under fav- orable conditions, to carry out the process. To find, examine and distribute the 80,000 horses in- vclved would be a grave problem, infinitely com- plicated by the well-known fact that transporta- tion of horses from West to East involves heavy / point of attack. if anything under two months. On the other hand, an army corps dis- tribiited in New England might be able, with a perfect system and not too heavy a percentage of réservists to mobilize in eight days, and to concentrate on any rail point between New York and Boston in two days more. Between New York and Buffalo, or New York and Philadelphia, and thence toward Baltimore or Harrisburg, the facilities again are excellent. But the instant you move south or southwest trom Washington toward Florida or Texas you enter territory in which both mobilization and coneentration would slow up and involve weeks — instead of days. A Striking Parallel in Russia. GAIN turning to Russia, we have an in- A teresting case to study. . Like in this country, mobilization and concentration presetited immense difficulties. On her western border, right on the edge of one of her few com- paratively dense and rich provinees, was a pos- sible enemy, with a highly developed military system. Germany could mobilize and concentrate in a relatively few days a large army that threat- ened the conquest of Poland long before Russia could get her armies in the field. And so, what was Russia compelled to do? Apart from forti- fication, she concentrated in peace time am army in Poland which was kept on a semi-war foot- ing; that was the army which was sent out to disaster in Mukdena in the spring of 1915. And this demonstrates what is the only valid approach tv our problems of mobilization and concentra tion. Like Russia, we have a country of great distances and widespread population. Like Rus- sia, we have a rich, highly developed area; and like Russia, we have possible enemies in a posi- tion to strike rapid blows at that area. Here, however, the comparison ceases. We have not, as Russia had, to provide for meeting an enor- mous national army, but only a heavy raid. And we need not, as she did, place an army of ade- a size on a sémi-war footing at the very loss by disease and calls for acclimatization at | scheme of mobilization and concentration will the end of the journey. An interesting little sum is this: [f it takes | an army veterinary 10 minutes to examine a sented, and if he works 10 hours a day. how many veterinaries could draft 80,000 horses into service in one week? Now, we have over 20,000,000 of horses, of which about one-fifth are in considerable towhs and ) cities. If any scheme of territorial distribution ot even much fewer than a million men we shall be compelled to place one unit In strict relation te the horse supply if we wish to accomplish mobilization effectively. It is clear, therefore, that the rapidity of mo- bilization can be secured fn the direct ratio of the holding of numbers down to the smallest safe estimate of one requirement, and of the distribu- tion of our troops not on any scheme to satisfy political conditions, but on one to satisfy mobill- zation conditions. The concentration problem runs paraliel. Railroad Commission Needed. ONCENTRATION is wholly a question of railroads.

I had drawn mental pic- ‘tures of him surveying Kentucky for the Federal Government with the trusty weapon over shoulder or under arm as he directed the activities of his instrument or chain men and I had painted him a valiant soldier, brave pioneer and good citizen in méneral. In peace I could see this rugged old man seated on the porch of his log house at Bryant's Station, in Kentucky, close to the famous Crab Orchard Springs, part of his farm, this fa- mous old rifle leaning against the log wall of the house or slung between two Y-shaped prongs of hickory limbs.

Dr. Williamson’s charge that President Wilson is “spineless” because he has not crushed Mexico and by force compelled the war-mad belligerents of Europe to respect American rights was aptly answered in the letter column of the Post-Dispatch with the quotation from Proverbs XVI, 32: He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Doubtless in the course of his career as a Christian minister Dr. Williamson has quoted this and similar passages from the Scriptures to illustrate true courage and strength. We who live under a Christian civilization have been taught that anger, resentment, violence, ready resort to might, are evidences of weakness in- stead of strength, of moral cowardice rather than courage. We have been taught that reason should prevail over passion and pride, and that every resource of reason should be exhausted before force as a last resort to defend vital rights shall be used. We distinguish between moral courage end mere physical courage, between moral strength and brute force. We admire the man who does right and in the calm consciousness of rectitude deals with wrong, anger, resentment, prejudice, hate, hostility, with patience, forbearance, reason. Would it have been a sign of courage on the part of President Wilson, with the great power of the American people behind him, to have shot up Vera Cruz, as Dr. Williamson suggests, and peremptorily and arbitrarily to have imposed our will on revolution-torn Mexico? Would it have been a sign of courage on the part of the Presi- dent, without exhausting the resources of diplom- acy, to have slapped war-mad Germany in the face for violating American rights? Would it have been a sign of courage, because our rights were violated and our interests injured by the war- crazed belligerents in the European vortex, to have resorted to bullying force, without exhaust- ing the resources of reason to bring them to a realization of their error? . We are not arguing for weakness or cowardly submission to injustice and wrong, for peace at any price, without regard to American rights and American lives. We believe the Government should oppose injustice and wrong to the end and should protect American rights and interests. But we believe that force should be the last des- perate resort when all other means have failed. Especially should the resort to force be slow in a maelstrom of violence. The greatest pressure on the President was to express and feed the anger of the American peo- ple over the wrongs that have been inflicted upon America. His easiest way was to lead the Jingo forces and to flatter the pride and vanity of the nation, to swashbuckle, swing the big stick, and thug igain the applause of the unthinking. It took courage to exercise patience, to appeal to reason and to stand for diplomatic methods until diplomacy was exhausted. The President exemplified courage, not .weak- ness, in resisting the tremendous influences brought to bear upon him to use force and assert the power rather than the peaceful just purposes of the nation. Having exercised patience, having appealed to reason, having exhausted diplomacy and now realizing that there is a limit to these things and that the nation must defend its rights and pro- tect its citizens, he has planned and is advocating reasonable measures of preparedness to put the country in a position to enforce right and justice whenever necessary. Men who find spinelessness in the President’s efforts to secure national rights and the interests of humanity by peaceful methods, in the face of denunciation for weakness and cowardice, see wrong. Men who find spinelessness in his rea- sonable plans for preparedness, in opposition to the vociferous demand for entrance into huge armament competition, reverse logic. Their judg: ment of human values and moral qualities is erroneous. MR. BARKER’S GROUCH. If St. Louis Democrats are pessimistic, as At- torney-General Barker says, it is because of the sins of omission and commission by the State ad- ministration. Their only ground for optimism is afforded by the national administration. The in- capacity, nepotism, blundering, clumsy leadership and ceaseless attempts of the several members of the State administration to perpetuate themselves in office by machine methods make a depressing burden for Mr. Barker’s party to carry. 3 The Post-Dispatch, which Mr. Barker also de- nounced, has not earned the gratitude of the State administration. On the contrary, it has served the public by exposing the failings of the administra- tion and demanding better government. It has warned the Democratic party of the wrath to come, if present leadership is prblonged. = = i ie ARTISTS’ PLIGHT IN THE WAR. Afflicted mentally and physically, European art- iste are perhaps the greatest sufferers among the noncombatants in the war. The ateliers in the chief cities stand deserted, and the artists wander aimlessly through the ‘streets, too proud to fall into the bread line, and entirely dependent for supplies on neighborhood charity almost surreptitiously supplied. Says the [Berliner Tagebiatt: : | Artists are and must be idealists, like chil- _ dren in matters of current life conditions. art 3 Many of them have heretofore received hand- sits ee " ‘gome emoluments for their work; but have the money to the winds, because they do not appreciate money, or know its value. And petro they are penniless, their threadbare : g and hungry faces appealing wordlessly ine men who adore the human form div’ te know and love every nuance of pnt and expression, imagine them seeing y obtruded to their revolted view the torn ments of humanity, the ghastly remnants © Gebrie of nature beauty! to might the son of the Muses work, and listens for the were wont to admire ut mo of them are in the mae!- truc on; and those that stayed not admire with tear-stained : these conditions, Tor Hedberg, Feat has recently solicited subscrip-| tions in his native land, and has succeeded in sending $40,000 to artists in the warring countries through M. von Nordlingen, the Swedish Minister in Paris; and Mme. de Frumerie has sent 14,000 francs to the Cantine Circle of the Artists’ Gufid ‘in Paris. The principal newspapers of Germany have orened their columns to subscriptions and several thousand marks and crowns have been donated, In a measure to relieve the stress. The Macedonian cry for help from the Missouri Democrats to Speaker Clark is growing in vol- ume. All the strong leaders of the party realize now that the party is in grave danger; that Speaker Clark’s leadership in the State campaign is the solution of its problems. Of course, candidates for the gubernatorial nomination are not pleased with the call for Speaker Clark, but they will be reconciled when they realize the situation in this State and the uncertainty of the outcome with a candidate of less ability, experience, reputation and popular- ily than Clark. They will realize the uselessness and the folly of going into a campaign with the fate of both the national and State tickets at stake, without the strongest possible leadership and ticket. The situation may be summed up thus: With Speaker Clark at the head of a strong ticket victory is practically assured. . With a weaker man than Speaker Clark at the head of the ticket victory is not assured— the outlook is dark. We believe Speaker Clark would accept the leadership of the State ticket if the Democrats of the State called him to save the party. = = rr If the Kaiser is Muhib ul Islam and the Sultan is Muhib ul Deutschland, the cause of two great religions is boosted. > ae ae GOV. WHITMAN FOR PRESIDENT. Gov. Whitman’s hopes of obtaining the Repub- lican nomination for President were chilled soon after his inauguration, but have been revived. Active work will be done for him as the selection of delegates begins in the various states. While denying the assertion that no Republican can be elected without Coi. Roosevelt’s support, Gov. Whitman sees hope for himself in a statement Ohio and Gov. Hiram Johnson of California would be satisfactory to the Colonel. He believes this is only the first signs of a shift that would ulti- mately disclose the Colone) supporting a ticket made up of Whitman of New York and Johnson. of California. For a Governor of New York to have an ambi- tion io he President is not unusual. Mr. Roose- velt and Mr. Cleveland were among others who had such an ambition and each was nominated by his party and elected. Gov. Hughes was and still is strongly urged for the nomination. But each of these men had what was in his time defined as a strong tendency toward reform and a pro- gressive record that helped to overcome distrust of a New York candidate in the rest of the coun- try. Perhaps Mr. Whitman is as good as the other material at the disposal of the Republicans, but his record is disappointing and unprogressive. He is said to plan leadership in reform measures at the January session of the New York Legislature, but he is too late. Before his program can make an impression on the country most of the dele- gates will be elected. Preparedness for disloyalty is as important as preparedness for invasion. ‘= =] % a ee HEROES OF DEEDS UNSUNG. The death of an aged bell-ringer who for 67 years has rung the cathedral chimes at Sheffield, England, reminds us that most of the invisible functions are performed by anonymous heroes whose acquaintance we never make till they are dead and buried. But it is never too late to pay tribute to the worthy, dead or alive. When we stop to reflect, how much of the val- uable service done for us is done unseen by un- known hands; the time is kept, the clocks are set, the weather forcasted, the railway signals waved, tracks watched, and lights are tended on sea and land by unknown but faithful friends. Fires are fed, your very clothes are made and your food largely prepared by these same friendly strangers whom you have never laid eyes on. The bell-ringer of 57 years’ fidelity was the friend and servant of many, the thousands with- in hearing who timed or attuned their lives to his chimes; and his service was vastly greater than he realized, just as most humble men's de- votion to duty is more important than they con- ceive it to be. Li, hi CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR SOLDIERS. The Berliner Tageblatt has published the replies of the various German armies to its inquiry of what the soldier boys would like to have sent them for Christmas. Following is a summary of what the soldiers ask for: Army of the Crown Prince: Red wine, Cigars, cigarettes, smoking tobacco, canned milk, sewing materials, chocolate and cheese. Army of Von Hindenburg: Honey cakes, her- ring, preserves, mitts, mufflers, ladies’ muffs, sew- ing materials, chocolates, mouth harmonicas, pocketknives. Army of Mackensen: Sausage, lard or butter, dried fruits, chocolates, smoked fish, accordions or harmonicas. No woolen goods. Army of Gallwitz: Cigars, cigarettes, choco- lates, soap, sardines, fish, preserves, sewing ma- terials, darning needles and wool, any kind of musical instrument, picture books and comic: pa- ing tobacco, chocolates, stockings, handkerchiefs, canned milk.

What the chancellor said in substance is that they would need it. The Germans feel that they hav2 won the war to date, and if there is to be peace at this time it must be on their terms. That disposes of the matter. The Allies intend whipping the Germans, and they are not willing to admit that what has al- ready happened is any sign that they can’t do it. Mr. Kitchener said the war would last three years, and we see no reason now for revising that estimate. We only wonder if the British will be able to get into it in so short a time. The Teuton allies have swept Servia pretty clear of Servians, and there is little left of the war in that theater beyond the rush of British and French troops to get back to the sea. The refusal of Greece to renew her ancient feud with the Bulgarians has been a sore disappointment to the nations which had expected Greek aid, and it will be a cold day when they count on the Greeks again. Indeed, the folly of counting upon any king with a German wife has been so thoroughly established that when the British and French cast about for new allies now the first thing they do is to get down the Almanac de Gotha and see whom so-and-so married. It is found that what one’s wife says to one by night bears much more weight than what one’s political friends and acquaintances say to one by day. There is nothing from the Japs. They must be wp to something big. NOT UNDER OBLIGATIONS. Karl Weilman pitches for one of the St. Louis teams in the big leagues. his name, he is German. ‘*Say,’’ demanded an opposing batsman one day in the spring, As might be guessed from ‘‘why don’t you go back to Germany and fight for the fatherland?’’ ‘*‘Who, me?’’ demanded Karl. ‘*Not on your life! Did the Kaiser send anybody over here to help me last fall when I was pitching in all those tough double-headers?'’—Saturday Evening Post. | » IN SIGNS.

They not only do not keep the postoffice, but more time and money are expended in getting a s‘ngle postmaster appointed than the service in some communities is worth. The appointment of the pres- ent postmaster in St. Louis rocked both the state of Missouri and the District of Columbia for months be- fore it was finally made. The United States Senators from the State wanted a man whom the President did not want to appoint, and before the latter gave in there were times when it looked as if the republic it- self would be wrecked. Meanwhile, we all got our mail, and we would have continued getting it if one of the deputies had been left to look after the office. A similar battle is going on between Washington and New York City right now. If Mr. Taft doesn't stop talking sense, he will find himself in the race for the Republican nomination for President next year.

Stevens. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ‘COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. 11.—A Lincoln letter of great historical importance, the original of which is now a treas- ured possession of William K. ‘Bixby of St. Louis,' was read to the Missouri Historical Society, in session here last night, by Waiter B. Stevens of St. Louis, secretary of the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition. In this letter, written. less than three months before his death, President Lincoln outlined his plan for the set- ting up of a constitutional state Gov- ernment in Arkansas. Following. thie collapse of the Cwunfederate military puwer in the West, Arkansas was under the military control of the Washingtor Government. | Stevens. said he believed the full. text of the letter had not been made. knuwn before. ‘‘The letter,’ Stevens said in his alk to the historical society, ‘‘is an un swer to the historical controversy as to the course Mr. Lincoln would have pur- sued, hdd he lived out his second term.” In the letter, the President directed that arrangenients be made for an elec- tion, at which all might vote who had taken the oath of allegiance, prescribed in the President's proclamation of Dec. 8, 1863. Nothing was said about negro suffrage, but.it was. stipulated that the freedom of the negro must be recog- nized and their education provided for. Unable to Agree With Johnson. After Lincoln's death, the Republican majority in. Congress, unable to agree with President. Johnson as to recon- struction measures, took matters out of the President's hands, and prescribed }its.own conditions for the re-admission bes states. These conditions, as finally laid down and accepted, included negro suffrage; but this was not until after éurlier terms, which did not include negro suffrage, had been rejected by .inost of the Southern States. {Stevens gave &n interesting account the attitude of Lincoln toward Mi:- in the period between his ‘first 1860, and his de- February. He told of the visits made by Frank P. Biair to Lincoln, at Sprinz- -Tield, [11, and how Blair “kept. the President-elect informed of every stép in that game that was going on for the its 9,000 muskets and munitions of war, more than there was in all of the cther slave. states. He told Mr. Lincoln that if the Southern rights: administratian o” Missouri gained control of the arsenai and its contents, the State would »: carried into the Confederacy, and with Missouri the acon bgrder ee we be lost. “Nine days ics his Ssnaesitipis President Lincoln gave Gen. Lyon'com- mand. of the arsenal, and the opportuni- ty of the State government wag lost." . suggestion was made by Stevens that the matter of celebrating the cen- tennial anniversary of the admiasion ot Missouri to the Union be taken up by the historical society. This anniversary will come in August, 1921. The speaker suggested that celebrations should be held tn each county, possibly tn the form of hiatorical pageants. The society voted to recommend that the preside: of the society, R. M. White, of Mexic», appoint a committee of five to take charge of the centenpjal plans, unde* White's direction. .

Ryan of Servian Fame Fined for Injuries to Three Hungarians. Correspondence of the Associated Press. VIENNA, Dec. 1—Dr. Edward W. Ryan, chief of the American Red Cross in Servia, when he arrived here from Belgrade, with five physicians and 11 nurses who had remained on duty until, with the taking of Belgrade by the Ger- mans and Austrians, the work of the Americans came to an end, talked inter- | estingly of his experiences. At the beginning of the bombardment } Preceding the taking of the city, shells fell near the hospital.. Dr. Ryan imme- diately sent a strongly worded protest. After that no shells fell near enough to be uncomfortable. Dr. Ryan's most exciting experience came in Budapest, where he stopped for a day on the way to Vienna. He was dining in a hotel when Hungarian offi- clals entered, asked if he was Dr. Ryan, and, being assured of his identity, in- formed him that he was under arrest. lie asked for explanations. “Your trunk has evploded, injuring a number of people at the railway sta- tion,’’ was the answer. The doctor went under escort to the station. There he learned that when his trunk was unloaded there Was a heavy explosion, which had injured three men, one of whom was removed to a hospital. The station was filled and a panic en- sued, in which several persons were thrown down. Fragments of the trunk and its contents were scattered about the platform. Dr. Ryan was informed that a fine of 30,000 crowns had been imposed on him. There began a series of negotia- tions, which lasted three days, during which Dr. Ryan found himself alter- nately in the hands of the civil and military powers. The fine was gradually reduced to less than 200 crowns, and the damage claims teok the same course. Finally the fine was canceled and settlement was effect- ed with the three persons injured. Dr. Ryan had a small Hotchkiss shell in his room at Belgrade and he conclud- ed that the person who packed his trunk included the shell. Girl, 6, in an Ovperctta.

And that is precisely what happens each time she calls out a regiment or a division to relieve another one at the front The Swiss military systenr is differ- ent from our own in many ways. In the first place it is based upon com- pulsory service. The people of this little country are and always have been ready to defend their institutions against all outside aggression. More- few others are excused, and that only during their tenure of office. In the second place the Swiss peo- ple believe in preparedness. They do not believe in recruiting their army after war has broken out. That they consider as foolish as waiting for smalipox to break out before vac- cinating. Neither do they believe in waiting until war comes before sup- plying arms, ammuniton and equip- ment.

Preparedness is the countersign of the Swiss army. It is undoubtedly that fact that has spared the Swiss pedple from the horrors of the present war. ».I recently saw a pictorial map of Europe on which every country Was represented by an animal of some kind. Italy was a lean, hungry wolf; Russia a big, lumbering bear; Germany & huge vulture, and So on. But the most appropriate of all was Switzerland — a bristling porcupine. Though ‘small, no one dares touch her, ’ Raise Their Boys to Be Soldiers, The Swiss youth begins his actual military training in his twentieth year, although a basis for this train- ning is previously laid in-—the gym- nasiums of the public schools, If physically fit he may volunteer a year beforehand and, in urgent cases, he may obtain permission to delay one year or longer. Each year’s class of recruits is thor- cughly ‘examined, medically, physically and mentally, after which the recruits are classified as follows: (1) fit, (2) fit for supplementary service, (3) unfit, After having been declared ‘‘fit’’ the young man is assigned to the branch of the service for which he is best suited, Then begins a strenuous course of in- struction and training which is. un- coubtedly one of the best in the world. When he completes this recruit course and goes back to civil life he is not merely a man in uniform, he is‘a sol- dier. I used to thik that the recruit, or “‘plebe,” drill at West Point is the limit in strenuousness, but Iam now of the opinion that at least one organiza- tion approaches West Point in this re- spect—the Swiss army. There is a story current among Swiss soldiers that, in certain regiments of the German army, Swiss drill is given as a form of punishment. Be that as it may, Swiss drill is no joke, and it produces an army of well-trained sol- diers. 20,000 New “Men Yearly. At present an average of more than 20,000 young men are found fit for serv- ice annually and are trained and be- army, called the “auszug.’’ Servicé continues in -this first thirty-second year—that is, for 12 years. It is evident that there are always 12 classes enrolled in the “auszug,’’ and as each class in the future will com- prise more than 20,000 men, the military authorities can count upon at least 240,000 trained men available for the first line of the army. The second line is called the “land- wehr,’’ and is composed of all soldiers between 33 and 4 years of age, inclu- sive; that is, each soldier enters the “landwehr”’ after his thirty-third birth- day and serves there eight years. Fig- uring as before on the basis of 20,000 men per annual class and deducting #3 1-3 per cent for those who have died cr become physically unfit, there would still be left more than 100,000 fit men for the second line of the army. The third line is called the “land- sturm.” The soldier between 41 and 48 years of age, imelusive, serves in the third line and there completes hig military service. In this line are also included many of the soldiers who are found unfit for service in the first and second lines, The strength of the “landsturm” is at present es- timated at about 65,000 men. Potential Army of 400,000. From the above it is seen that the Swiss authorities will be able to mobilize an army of more than 400,- 000 men in case of need, of which probably 350,000 would be fit for field service, the others for guard and oth- er supplementary service. Further- more, inasmuch as the birthrate of Switzerland is increasing, the total number of youths fit for service each year is increasing, and the army therefore automatically increases cor- respondingly. In view of the results obtained, the relatively short time which the Swiss soldier is required to pass with the colors is surprising. Let us take the infantry private from the time he re- ports for recruit drill in his twenti- eth year until’ he passes into the “landsturm” in his fortieth year. The course of instruction in the re- cruit school requires 65 days—a lit- tle more than nine weeks. The soldier then passes into the “auszug,” where he is required to atténd seven courses of 11 days each, in all 77 days during 12 years’ service. He then goes to the “landwehr,” where he takes only one course during his eight years’ service there. There is no training for the “landsturm” except during mobiliza- tion or at the special call of the Fed- eral Council. Altogether, during the 20 years before he enters the third line the goldier normally passes 153 days with the colors, or an average of a little more than a week per year. That so much can be accomplished in go short a time is the most remark- abel thing about the Swiss system.

Conse quently there was no excitement or confusion. There were-no officers gal- loping hither and thither shouting or- dérs. The mobilization proceeded smoothly and systematically. It is even said that the division commander re- Mained at his office in the city and did not take the trouble to personally verify the mobilization—it was not necessary. At the appointed time each soldier re- ported in uniform at homé—received his equipment and took his place on the piot of ground allotted to his organiza- tion. Rolis were called, equipment in- spected and put in order, details sent to load Wagons and get evcrythinge in readiness to take the field. Artillery, Cavalry, engineer, telegraph, sanitary and other troops proceeded to get and put in readiness the equipment of their respective units.

Bo graph of the Empress. Somewhat sur- prised by this reqyest. the nurse asked the reason.for this desire. and .the artillerist hesitatingly confessed that he. neéded money to help his parents. A’ few. hours after the Empress and her daughter-in-law, the Princess August Wilhelm, visited a division of the hos- pital and were told of Ferdinand’s wish. The Empress hastened to his bedside. Ferdinand recognized her and a blush spread over his pale face. The Empress noticed his embarrassment, bade him farewell, and joined her daughter-in-law in the other section of the hospital. Princess August Wilhelm, being un- known to the wounded soldier, was asked by the Kaiserin.to go to Ferdi- nand.. The nurse was also instructed to ask Ferdinand what he wanted for the Empress’ picture and the sum his par- ents needed. Ferdinand answered 60 marks. The Princess August Wilhelm when she arrived in his room placed that sum inthe soldier’s hand and asked for the Empress’ picture. The next day, much to his delight. Ferdinand received back the photograph on which the Em- press had written the words: “To the good son.’ Here is another story of the thought- fulness of the German Empress. An infantryman, Oscar Sch, was seriously fll in a Berlin hospital. In his wild de- lirlum he thought only of war scenes and fearful were the screams that he uttered, Toward morning he became a little more quiet, but in appealing tone asked for his mother. However, nothing could be done to gratify his wish. Just at that hour the visit of the Hmpress Was announced and while moving from section to. section of the hospital came to the bed of the fever patient and heard } his cry: ‘“‘Mother!: Mother!’” The Em- Special to the Post-Dispatch BERLIN, Nov. 5—The German Em- press is a frequent visitor to the Gew man hospitals, and the newspapers of the Fatherland have published many in- teresting stories of her extreme kind- ness to the wounded soldiers. Stie re- cently called at a hospital in Berlin and presented the patients with flowers and her photograph. One of the soldiers thus honored was an artillerist named Ferdi- nand G.

After being told his name she passed her hand gently over his brow. The patient seized the Empress’ hand and pressed it. ““Mother!”’ the sick man murmured, and affection- ately the Empress answered: “Be quiet Oscar; at your bedside is a mother who is thinking of you."”” These words Oscar probably did not understand, but soon after he became a little more quiet and turned to the side. He continued, how- ever, to hold the Empress’ hand in his own. The attending doctor came for- ward to release the hands, but the Empress beckoned him away, and for 15 minutes longer remained at Oscar’s bedside, “You Have Cried for Me.” An expression of extreme sorrow appeared on the face of the Empress ‘when, one day, she ‘visited the part lof a hospital where rest the soldiers blinded in the dreadful war. The Empress conversed with all‘the vic- tims in the kindest tone. An. attempt was made to keep the Empress away from the part of the hospital where those are quartered who have not only been blinded, but are also wounded, but she insisted to also visit these unfortunates. She passed from bed to bed and § pressed the hands of the soldiers, who had been informed of her coming. When the Empress beheld a blinded boy, tears eame into he reyes and, mich af- fected, she bént down ‘to: him. He smiled when the doctor: told him that the Kaiserin. wa@s bending over him. A tear fell from'’the eyes of the Em- press on the face of the young sol- dier, and she sobbed. “You are crying, your majesty,’ he stammered.

The young fellow smiled and said. “Now, your majesty, sunshine. has once more cOme to me, and I-will be able to -bear the burden of never came into her eyes and, much af- of day; you have cried for me.” Then the Empress placed her arm .around the boy’s shoulder and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

PRET AR 6 oe U.S. PROTESTS AGAINS SUBMARINES ARE JUSTIFIED BY INTERNATIONAL LAWYER * —— Professor at University of Paris Points Out That U Boats Contravene Laws of Nations and of Humanity. By A. DE LAPREDELLE. Professor of international Law in the University of Paris, France. Six months have passed since the German submarine sent the Lusitania to the bottom of the Irish Sea; six months during which Germany has not interrupted her process of sinking ships, lowly freighters or great transatlantic steamers carrying thousands of passen- gers. The field of operation of the sub- marine has been transferred from the Kritish coast to threaten the navigation of the Mediterranean, but the diplomat- lc controversy still continues. This controversy does not concern the special cases of the Lusitania and An- cona alone, cases in which ecircum- stances both of fact and of law. ‘are surrounded with special difficulties and great incertitudes, but also juridical themselves, which are at present far from being clearly presented and stated. Germany has promised the United States that the great liners on which American passengers are traveling shall rot be disturbed; but she has made no such promise in respect to crews, espe- cially in respect to freighters. She has promised that she would not ‘destroy a passenger ship without giving the yfoats necessary for the rescue of the Passengers. Is this promise enough to sutisfy the demands of humanity? A “~previous Warning is demanded by inter- national law. But is that previous warn- tng enough? Again, if we add to the list of cases in which the destruction of am enemy prize is dilowed, the one in which a merchant ship is stopped, not by a cruiser .ér a torpedo boat or a tor-. pedo destroyer, but by a submarine, do we thereby, as it commonly claimed, ex- tend the field of application of the doc- trine of the destruction of prizes with- gut profoundly modifying its nature? \ Questions Hardly Touched. These are all] juridical questions which have as yet hardly been approached di- rectly by the jurists, which nevertheless deserve our careful attention. | To. solve them let us first note tbat the use of submarine torpedoes against commerce is essentially contrary to the spirit of law. At the first Hague con- ference in 1899 Great Britain, Japan, } Italy, Russia, and even Germany her- self, asked the Powers to unite in for- bidding the operation of “diving tor- pedoes” against men-of-war or subma- rines." If this proposition was rejected it was because, in 1899, the Netherlands, - ‘ X Br fou?

Neither Great Britain nor the United States. ad- mits the destruction of neutral prizes; and moreover, several Powers, the»Unit- ed States among them, demand im- munity from seizure for private property of the enemy sailing under the enemy’s flag. thus assimiliating private property of the enemy to neutral property, and making it as unjustifiable to destroy a” enemy prize as to destroy a neutral prize. Finally Japan, in her war-with China in 1894, inaugurated a practice in virtue of which, even when the private property of an enemy may be seized under thé enemy’s flag the prize itself shall not be destroyed unless it is a ship belonging to the state. (The Japanese regulations in the Chino-Japanese War of 1894, Article 22). So then to increase the power of the submarine torpedo and at the same time to extend the field of application of the doctrine of the de- struction of prizes, either neutral or enemy (as are being done in the present war) means to react against currents which, without as yet constituting posi- tive ‘international law, are contributing their influences to make the interna- tional law of the near future. Principles of Law Ignored. However, it is not simply tendencies of law but very sure principles of positive law that are contradicted and ignored every time that a ship of commerce is destroyed by submarine, whether or not the ship has passengers on board, whether or not there was previous warn- ing given. According to positive international law, it is a principle that a prize must always be taken before it can be de- stroyed. This rule may be found in all the maritime codes of the world, The manual of naval prize law of England (Edition of 1888, Art. 303), the American rule of 1900 (which, although since re- peaied, still remains an important testi- }mony on this point), the French instruc- tions of 1870 and of 1912, the German prize rule of the 30th of September, 1909 tReichsgesetzbiatt of Aug. 3, 1914, Art. 4) All these things assume that the active destruction of a prize must follow on actual seizure, It is only in cases in which it is aboslutely impossible to pre- gerve the prize that its destruction is al- lowed. But in the cases we are consid- ering destruction does not follow the act of seizure. The only method by which the submarine can come at all into con- tact with the ship which it meets and establish its power and authority over it preclude the seizure of the ships and its convoy to a port. Moreover, the destruction of a prize is never allowed except on conditions of } placing not only the passengers but even the crew in safety, This principle, too, ‘0te ot 13%... $I 59 is contained in all the maritime codes, of These prices will save the world which make no distinction in you 50c¢ to $3.00 the treatment to be accorded to passen- 4 . ere and crew.

The average cost of these buildings has been 6000 marks ($1600), but ‘in many cases camp commanders have added large sums from their personal fortunes in order that the libraries’ might be more ornate or spacious. The conditions governing the gifts from the Americans have without ex- ception been such that none of the monéy might be expended for books, and it has been the task, therefore, , of the “Committee for the Erection of Soldiers’ Homes in the East and Southeast” to gather Mterature of all kinds and send it,” not only to the 11 halls, but also to the most extended trenches. : On the German side, at least, the war has drawn in men from every walk of _jife, including students, teachers and others af a very high degree of education. . The literary de- mands from the front, therefore, have been extremely varied, and the book- suppliers have been put to it to lay their hands on technical works and other volumes. as ) Between France, England and Germany there ‘has existed for some which books in the three languages are exchanged for the benefit of the prisoners of war in the three coun- fries. Negotiations along the same line are now being* conducted with Russia, and a shipment of 3000 vol- umes in Russian from the University +of Warsaw is soon to be distributed among the Russian prisoners of war. The committee already has the names and addresses of 38,000 German soldiers on the various fronts, with whom cor- respondence has been opened pertain- ing to special books that are desired. As fast as it is possible to obtain the volumes they are forwarded to the trenches. es ae A feature of the work is so-called wandering libraries, containing books of all sorts for both and men, which are sent to one com- pany, read, and sent on to another. There are also a number of so-called field gray books, which have gray paper covers and are adaptable to use in the trenches. The paper which goes into the lit- erature for the front costs alone 10,- 000 marks per shipment, and the post- age amounts to another 6000 marks. The distribution is aided in part by wagons from the Emperor's stables, 20 of which carry loads of 600 vol- umes from point to point. Two Americans, Conrad Hoffman and James E. Sprunger, are actively engaged in the work of supplying reading ig, Pig cat of war and for soldiers. ey formerly were active in English camps and then came over to Germany to continue their work. The efforts of the committee to erect soldiers’ homes has resulted in the construction of 18 buildings, at a cost of from. 3000 to 6000 marks apiece, where thousands of soldiers are cared for and given some- of the comforts of home.

Basia for Intervention. But we may go even further than this. The simple fact of the violation of -‘e right of neutrality is justification for a neutral, whoever he may be, to take cognizance of the right of another neu- trai. For exataple, if an American, not & citizén of the United States, or a Ner- wéegian or a Dane, were the victim of an ilic¢gal submarine attack. another state than theirs, ihe United States, for ex- ample, would tave the right and .uty \o intervene, by virtue of the pr:nciple that the rights of neutrality form a common patrimony among the nacicns, and their viowation in the case of «ne endangers all. it was this principle of the sulidarity of neutral nations which influence! t. e French Minister of Feoeign Affirs, M.

Correspondence of the Press. : LONDON, Dec, 4.—When Gen. Sir Ivor Herbert asked Premier Asquith in the House of Commons whether any steps had been taken to recon- struct the great general staff of the army, he expressed the: popular im- patience of the country over this question, which is-worrying civilians as well as military: men. The Pre- mier’s reply that the size and effec- tiveness of the staff was being grad- ually increased did not entirely sat- isfy the extremists, ‘That Germany’s efficiency in the war is ldrgely traceable to its gen- eral staff, no one here denies. But the general staff is an integral part of Germany's Government. Its suc- cess now is the result of methods worked out and practiced in time of peace. In England such a general staff would have had small scope in peace times. > There has been considerable loose- ness in the British way of managing campaigns, ag critics point out. It is said that only the most general in- structiong were given to Field Mar- shal Sir John French, Gen. Ian Ham- ilton and the other expedition com- manders. They were told little else than to-inflict the greatest possible damage on the enemy by means that appeared best to their judgment. The policy of the British staff heretofore has been, in accord with British traijition and British preju- dice, to give all possible latitude to the commander, trusting him either to succeed by his genius, or at least to muddle through, , Wellington's comparison of his own campaign to an improvised harness made of rope, easy to patch up, and Bluecher’s to a perfect set of harness which de- pendej for success on not breaking, still lrelds true to a considerable ex- tent, or did in the earlier stages of the’ war. : Professional soldiers have long ad- vocated a general staff on the Teu- tonic plan for Great Britain, just as they have fought for conscriptjon. Their professional bias* leads them officers} to believe that the empire’s safety and power demanig the military sys- tem, While the general staff will prob- ably not assume the power and in- fluence of the German by a consid- erable margin, it will undoubtedly bring about a greater co-ordination of one branch of the service with another, and of each expeiition with the armies of the allies. No impor- tant movements will be undertaken on snap judgment, like the so-called Gallipoli “gamble,” and the individ- ual judgment of commanders will be subordinated to general plans of ac- tion workeji out with the allies, ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY NEEDS CLOTHING FOR THE POOR _—_—— Organisation Especially Wants Shoes and Wearing Apparel for School Children. In anticipation of an extraordinary demand this winter upon the clothing department of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, an appeal is for a more vig- orous effort to meet the wants of worthy and needy children. The so- ciety wants to furnish. shoes and clothing for all children, -irespective of color, creed or nationality, so they can attend school. For those who are unable to con- tribute money or clothing, the society asks them to save trading stamps, tobacco tags, coupons, gum certifi- cates or any sort of profit sharing cards. The organization saves any tag of value for its purposes. The organization also is glad to receive broken gold and silver, lead and tin foll.

In this case, the neutral vow ers, ¢specially those that have dared to raise their voice in behalf of the op- pressed in Rumonia, in Kichineff, - in Cuba, have the right and the duty to spenk.

He gave the signal to stop and the maz climbed aboard. The conductor rec. ognized him as F. L. Risse, a jeweler. Risse told the conductor he was hurrying to St. Louis to make some Christmas purchases. “T don’t know anything you could buy in St. Louis at this hour except hot tamales,” sald the conductor. When Risse learned what time it was he was greatly surprised, He explained that he had been so busy fixing other persons’ timepieces that he had neglected his own.

How Henri Chouteau, 26 years old, de- ascendant of one of the founders of St. Louis, transformed himself from a $50-a- month broker’s messenger to a member of the St. Loule Stock Exchange with borrowed money and for six years con- ducted a seemingly prosperous business in an expensive suite of offices was re- vealed yesterday after two attachment suits were filed against him when cred- itors learned he was absent from the city. It was also made public for the first time that Chouteau, on Oct.'30 last, was suspended for 60 days by the St. Louis Stock Exchange after Mrs. Margaret Milford of 6867 Nina place, plaintiff in one of the attachment suits, had told the board of governors of the exchange that Chouteau had given her bonds of little market value as security for a $7000 loan which she made to him. Mrs. Milford told her attorney, George C. Mackay that the only one of. the securities she had been able to realize on was a $500 bond of Oklahoma City. Her attachment suit was for the | re- maining $6600 of the indebtedness. The other attachment sult was for $460 rent- al said to be due to the Security Build- ing Co, for Chouteau’s office there. Chouteau, who lived at the Hermitage, 468 Washington boulevard departed from St. Louis last Monday. after tell- ing friends he was going to Birming- ham, Ala. Another Creditor Appears.

Church, ian attorney, and close friend of Chou- teau, and told Church he had loaned $4000, to Chouteau and taken Chouteau’s promissory note as security, Church told @ reporter. He said he also invested $4000 with Chouteau in stocks and bonds on which he has been unable to realize anything. De Voigne last night said he had invested money with Chouteau, loaned money to him and borrowed money from him. He could not say how their accounts stood, but said he believed Chouteau meant well and would meet his obligations. He said his first transaction with Chouteau was when he bought 20 shares of United States Steel stock from Chou- teau on margins at $38 a share. Chou- teau, he sald, made several calls on him for margins, although the stock finally advanced to $88 a share. There was a discrepancy of about $1000 be- tween his estimate of his profits and the estimate made by Chowtteau, he said. Lett Steck With Choutean.

Wells of Sunday Closing League in East St. Louis. “COULD STOP CAMPAIGN” Prohibition Superintendent Will Neither Admit Nor Deny the Charges. ‘ Consternation was caused in the ranks of the Law Enforcement League of Southern Illinois, an organization that was formed recently to wage @ cam- paign for the Sunday closing of saloons in Bast St. Louis, when allegations were made that M. B. Wells, superintendent of the league, and former Sheriff of Salem, Ill, had made a proposition to the brewery interests of East 8t: Louis to have the fight dropped upon the pay- ment to him of $20,000. : This became public when Charlies B. Carroll, a lawyer in the Arvade Build- ing in Bast St. Louis, and secretary of the Personal Liberty League of South- ern Tlinois, called newspaper reporters into his office and made a verhal state- ment of Wells’ allegéd offer. Allegations by Brewery Agents. At thé same time corroborative state- ments were given out by Robert Beth- mann, manager of the Heim Brewery, and by Jerry J. Kane, East St. Louis agent for the Wagner Brewery of Gran- ito City. Kane is a member of the Dem- ocratic Central Committee of Illinois. Wells and other members of the Law Enforcement League were confronted with these statements by reporters while they were holding’ a meeting in the league’s offices in the Metropolitan Building. Most of the Bast St. Louis ministers were present, and they ex- pressed their astonishment. Wells would neither admit nor deny the charges, but declared he would later issue a state- ment in answer. The statement of Secretary Carroll of the Personal Liberty League, which is an orgenization-opposed te the Sunday closing of saloons, in substance was that Wells came to him two months ago and informed him a fight was to be made against the Sunday saloons in East St. Louis just as it had been made successfully against the Sunday sa- loons in Chicago and Springfield. “T am close to the leaders of the An- tisaloon League,” he said, according to Carrull, “and can stop thie fight, but it is worth money. If you will get the liquor interests to pay me $20,000 you won't hear any more about it.”’ Carroll said he asked a week to think it over and later informed Wells that the liquor interests would not pay ua cent, whereupon Wells announced that the fight would be started. Makes Signed Etatement. Bethmann, in Carroll's office, gave out a signed statement. He said that Wells also informed him of the impending fight against the saloons and promised to positively guarantee for $20,000 that there would be no campaign to close the saloons either temporarily or par manently. Bethmann also asked, time and consulted an attorney. He then informed Wells that his firm under no circumstance could contribute to the proposed fund. Kape said that he was approached by Wells,,whom he had known 2% . years, about a month ago. He sald Wells re- minded him of what had happened to the saloons in Chicago and Springfield, Kane said: “He said Sunday closing might have been avoided in Springfield if the right interest on the stock than the banks!) would give.

The location of the train at that time had not been determined, as all efforta of officials to get in touch with it after it left Decatur at 9:37 a. m. were futile. All the Wabash's telegraph wires in that section were down last night.

AUSTRIAN CHARGE ADVISED CONSUL TO BUY PASSPORTS Lansing Confronts. Baron\Z1 of Letter He Wrote to Von Nuber in August, 1914, in Interest of Reservists. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11,—There were no developments today to al- leviate the serious situation that threatens a rupture of diplomatic re~- lations between the United States and Austria-Hungary. Officials continued studiously reti- cent, but word that the American note on the sinking of the Italian lner Ancona, with loss of American lives, had reached the Vienna foreign office yesterday led to a feeling that the question would resolve itself one way or the other without much delay. The communication is understood to ask disavowal of the act of the Austrian submarine which sank the liner, punishment of the submarine’s commander and reparation for the American lives lost, and it hes clearly indicated that the United States ex- pects that these things be done promptly. There will be no long dis-« cussion of the principles involved, it is said, such as was conducted with Germany after the Lusitania tragedy. It was apparent tonight that offi- ciala who have read the note to Aus- tria viewed the situation as serious, the inion prevailing as strongly as ever that diplomatic relations were in dang@er of being broken off unless Vienna complied immediately with the American demands, Coyy of Note Given te Charge, A eopy of the Ancona note, which will be given out for pubiicati derstod | vation briefly and informally.

The President's son is reported to have told the monk that for several years he suffered an illness which compelied him to give up all as- pirations for worldly affairs, and to devote himself to the study of Buddhist writings, ‘but as soon as he grasped the essential principles of these sacred teachings, he found his’ health greatly improved. Ti Yen replied that a mari’s earthly existence is anything but real. -‘‘However,” he . continued, “as your highness occupies such a position that some day you’ will have the responsibility of the whole nation on your shoulders; it is my highest hope that: your highness will take care of your health so as to enable you to serve your coun- try in the coming days.

The foreign bankers who have previously shown a willingness to make the ad- vance, cooled in their enthusiasm, and then it became apparent that there was diplomatic pressure against this finan- cial step. Unmoved by Assurances. The Minister of Finance, Chow Hsueh Hsi, insisted that the funds were not to be used in connection with the monarch- lal change, but were necessary for the improvement of the revenue collection system andthe redemption of the de- preciated currency notes in the various provinces. This assurance, however, has not moved the quintuple group of bankers and there is no intention that the funds will be advanced at any time in the near future. There also are reports that France, England and Japan did not care to co-operate with Germany in such an agreement. This may not be true. However, the story that the bankers are acting through their dislike of Germany is causing much discussion in the Chinese press. In an editorial concerning this rumor the Pekin Gazette says: y “It would mean the extension to the realm of Chinese finance, the most vital spot in all this amorphous coun- try, of the state of belligerency which | is finding such frightful expression In the bloody: battlefields of ‘Europe.

Derby’s Enroliment Will | Continue Until Midnight Sun- day, Perhaps Until Wednesday. OFFICERS ARE SWAMPED It Is Believed Nearly 4,000,000 Men Have Volunteered—Many Will Be Deducted.. By Associated Press. LONDON, Dec, 11.—The enrollment of volunteers under Lord Derby's plan for immediate and future military service could not be completed today on ac- count of the numbers crowding the enlistment offices throughout the king- dom at the eleventh hour. Therefore, the War Office announced the exten- sion of the time until midnight Sunday, with a possible further extension to midnight Wednesday. Recruiting will continue Supday and if the numbers of the last two days are kept up, the total énlistment. for the last thrée days probably will equal the total for any preceding three weeks, The process of enlistment was atténd- ed by picturesque and enthusiastic gatherings. Bands and orators, both official and voluntary; from military and civil life, had been busy. The keynote of the speeches had Déen that Britons should show the world that free men are able and willing to de- fend their country without compulsion. After the enrollment is completed the War Office will be obliged to segregate those engaged in Government work and “Indispensable’’ to the industries. <A large proportion of those enrolled also may be barred by the medical officers because the examinations of the last two days have beon for the most part superficial and .n many instances dis- pensed with altogether, the medical of- ficers being unable to keep up with the enrollments. There is no ifformation at present regarding the number of recruits, but the trade union leaders tonight confi- dently declared that the Derby cam- paign was a success. The last. census gave the number of men in England, Scotland and Wales between the ages of 18 and 4 years as 8,100,000, nearly half of whom wéte single. The gen- eral understanding has been that about $,000.000 entered the army before Lord Derby’s recruiting began and it is be- lieved that between 8) and 9 per cent of the others have presented themselves for attestation. From .this total must be deducted three classes—the physically unfit, those engaged in munitions work and those engaged in other necessary callings, such’ as railroading, mining, shipping and farming, whose numbers cannot be approximately estimated except by the officials.

Theodore Roosevelt, to dash through Russia and join the allies in the campaign against the Germans, has just become known here. “The plan was conceived early last summer during the tense days follow- ing the Lusitania sinking. “Col, Roosevelt, Major-General Wood and others at that time saw no hope of the United States keeping out’ of the European conflagration, and the former President decided to raise a cavalry di- vision along the lines of his famous “Rough Riders’’ regiment during the Spanish-American War. “Col. Roosevelt, it is now said, even went so far as to purchase equipment. He is declared to have bought automo- bile trucks for the hauling of equip- ment and commissariat and a specially bullt automobile tank car for the trans- portation of gasoline. “According to the story told here in official circles a well-known and wealthy Chicago man was interested in the movement and alded in financing the firet part of the plans.” {DEATH .NOT DUE TO HAZING Physicians Say Virginia Student Died After.

Judging from the happy appeafance of the fitters of a New York firm who emerged from the Galt home shortly before noon, the bride-to-be is entirely satisfied with the all-important ’ garment. Julius Kurzman and his fitters visited the White House more than once to- day.

All Kuragman would say about Mrs. Galt’'s tronsseau tonight was that it contains many elegant gowns most striking for their simplicity. So far as colors are ¢oncerned, the only* remark that..could be ascértained was that his distinguished patron looks well in. any color, and that the “stuff” published heretofore about “Bolling Green” and numerous other colors was ‘‘flubdub.” He was not authorized by. Mrs, Galt, he said, to give any description of the wedding gown or any other. garment purchased from his establishment. A description of the all-important gown will be given by Mrs. Galt before the wedding. The New Yorker only ilostiiaire ad- mitted that. he and his fitters had beén to the White House. The wedding ceremony will occur at the Galt home on Twentieth street at 6 o'clock, the-ladies present wearing evening gowns. WOMAN.

Goodnow, former §&t. Louis real estate dealer, who, on June 4, last, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary on his plea of guilty to embezzlem@nt. The ap- plication was docketed for a hear- ing next March. The application was supported by many letters and. petitions, among the signers of which were Lon San- ders, A. J. Davis, Stephen A. Martin, a Colonel of Gov. Major's staff; Ca- bell Gray, N. 8S. Healy, president of the Webster Groves Trust Co.; State Auditor John P. Gordon and Phil Mullen, also a member of Gov. Ma- jor’s staff. The crime for which Goodnow was sentenced was the appropriation to his own use of the proceeds of three notes, totaling $12,000, deposited with him by Almon A. Tucker of 10 Beverly place, vice president of the Rosenthal-Sloan Millinery Co., to be negotiated to obtain money to build an apartment house at 6890 Von Ver- sen avenue. Goodnow pleaded guilty to this offense on April 23, before Cir- cuit Judge Jones, and five other cases then pending against him were dismissed, Sought Parole From Court. Judge Jones gave a stay of sen-| tence until June 4, to allow Goodnow time to arrange his personal affairs. Goodnow immediately began to enlist influential men in his effort to ob- tain parole, with the result that Judge Jones was deluged with tele- ‘phone calls, personal interviews, tel- egrams, letters and formal petitions, all urging clemency for Goodnow. ‘Judge Jones disregarded all the petitions, and after érdering Good- now taken to Jefferson City, on’ June ‘jecting the ‘forgery, also had filed a petition for 4, issued a long statement in which he vigorously condemned the efforts that had been made to influence the Court to grant clemency to Goodnow. He was particularly emphatic in re-| plea that Goodnow’s church work as superintendent of the Fountain Park Congregational Sun- day school entitled him to clemency. Recently in reply to an inquiry from the Pardon Board Judge Jones wrote: “Four or five other cases were pending against this man at the time of his conviction, which were nolle prossed by the State. “A great deal of pressure was brought to bear on me at the time to grant him a parole before he be- gan serving his term. “I, of course, have no recommenda- tion to make to you as to his parole, as the matter is entirely in your hands,” Auditor Gordon Interested, Col. Phil Mullen, the records show, interested Auditor Gordon in the Goodnow parole. Mullen is general sales agent for Armour & Co., which firm has the contract for furnishing meat to the State Penitentiary, of which Gordon is a member of the managing board. Mullen wrote to Gordon to enlist his help in the Goodnow case and Gordon wrote to the board inclosing Mullen’s letter and saying that he would appreciate anything the board can do in the matter. There had been rumors that Charles Christian Crone, St. Louis real es- tate dealer, serving a sentence for parole on the ground of illness. Dr. McCutchan, prison physician, said, “Crone’s condition is about the same as when he came here. I have not recommended a sick parole for him and have not thought of doing so. I have not been asked to do so and so far as I know no request for a parole for him has been made.” “a | Former Secretary of State Patled to Appear as Witness in New York. — NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Supreme Circuit.

Hahn explains his pafticipation in the affair in the following manner: ‘During the Huerta regime I re- céived a check from Minister de 1a Lama; then héad of the Treasury De- partment, requesting me to transfer $816,000 to Valparaiso for the Na- tional Bank of Mexico, as that insti- tution had no correspondent there.

This also was done. Mr. Marx, through the firm of Ver- werk & Co. of Valparaiso negotiated the purchase of 37,000,000 cartridges from the Chilean Government, the agreed price being $656,000. Later our Chilean correspondent cabled us for authority to pay the balance of the original sum sent, $160,000, to This we refused ta do, al- though we had the authorization of the then Mexican Government.

Of the total deficit, however, his anayisis of the Department's fi- nances declares that all but a little more than $300,000 was the result of | inereases of postal salaries and addi- tional railway mail pay required by law. Chief among recommendations to Congress are a renewal of previous weight te the space basis of fixing pay to the railroads for carrying mall; a renewal of recommendations for government ownership of tele- graphs and telephones; removal of the four-pound limit on first class mail; ahd the adoption of more lib- eral limitations on the weight and. insurance of parcel post packages. Expansion. The greatest expansion in the post- offiee, the report shows, was in the parcel post. Statistics gathered from 50 principal postoffices show it tof be half of all the postal business, and that more than a billion parcels are being transported every year.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. DALLAS, Tex., Dec. 11.—County Judge Quentin D. Corley will go to Washing- ton Dec. 22 by special invitation to dem- onstrate at the embassies of the warring nations the ease with which he can use the artificial arms and hands he invent- ed after both his arms were amputated. At the same time Judge Corley will outline a plan for schools he thinks the European nations should establish to teach the maimed soldiers how to artificial limbs. As he lost his own arms at the age of 21, Judge Cor- ley believes the problems he has solved for himself to be the same that confront the armless soldiers, who are chiefly men from 19 to 30 years of age. The free use of hig patents has been offered by Judge Corley to the Govern- ments of the nations at war. This would enable them to manufacture the arms at cost not to exceed $20 each, Judge Corley declares, and he thinks thet the completeness with which his devices take the place of his natural hands, enabling him to wait on himself or attend to business duties almost as well as anyone can, should make the wounded soldiers again self-supporting, if they are equipped with these arms and taught to use them properly. The French, Brititsh, German, Bel- gian and Austrian embassies have shown an interest in Judge Corley’s in- vention and have asked that it be dem- onstrated to them. The successful feature of Judge Cor- ley’s artificial arm is an automatic hook operated by a ratchet wheel. The lower jaw of this hook is mad: of spring steel] and the upper jaw of brass. The bending of the arm at the elbow op- erates the ratchet wheel, which in turn opens the jaws of the hook. When turned further the wheel releases and allows the jaws to close upc whatever object tt desired to pick up. With this apparatus Judge Corley can do practically everything that one can do with natura) hands. This hook, how- ever, is detachable and another can be attached with which more delicate tasks, | such as tying his necktle or using knité and fork. At the end of the hook prop- er is a small apparatus which takes the. place of the fingers. Outlining his views on the proposed school for armless men, Judge Corley says: “The five problems that I see in the proper handling ef these unfortunate men are: : -"Birat, taking care of them temporar- ily; second, supplying them with the best known appliances; third, teaching these men how to use the appliances; fourth, selecting for each man a work that he is best fitted for and teaching him to be self-supporting; fifth, finding them jobs that they can fill and distrib- uting them over the nation.” Judge Corley’s plan is to establish a temporary home where under the in- struction of a man competent in the use of the apparatus the armless pupils will be taught how to use the arms and then how to earn their own livings. Judge Corley is 28 years old. He lost his arms in a freight train accident at Utica, N. Y., when he was 21. Through his own efforts and inventions he has become since then a successful man. was j prother, anew SAFETY FIRST” ve.

'S IMPOSES SELF ON SOLDIER'S WIFE AS MISSING HUSBAND Masquerader’ From’ Gallipoli Even Accepted as Sergeant Dandy by Dandy’s Sister. GETS THREE YEARS’ TERM Extraordinary Case of Mistaken Identity Is Heard at the Man- chester Assizes. Correspondence of the Post-Dispatoh. LONDON, Dec. 1.—George Parkin Hall, a soldier, has just been sentenced, at .Manchester Assizes, to three years of penal servitude, for imposing him- self, as her husband, upon the wife of the missing Sergt. Dandy, with whom he had served at Gallipoli. According to the testimony, Mrs. Dandy accepted, and lived with, Hall as her husband, and Dandy’s sister recognized Hall as her brother. The testimony brought out one of the most extraordinary cases of mistaken identity ever heard in Engitsh courts. ‘Counsel for the Crown explained, at the hearing of the case, that Sergt. Dandy and his wife had kept a small baker’s shop at West Gorton, near Man- chester. The Sergeant went to Egypt early in the year, leaving Mra, Dandy in charge of his business. Up to last June his wife received ietters from him. but in July Sergt. Dandy was report- ed as missing. Later, said the Prose- cutor, Hall called upon Mra, Dandy, represented that he was the Sergeant, and was acgepted by Mra, Dandy as her husband, “Was Like My Husband,” Mrs. Hall, in mourning biack, told, from the witness stand, how Hall had coine to her shop on July 16, acting ‘as if he had been wounded.” She said: ‘‘He announced that he was my husband. Il objected, ‘Never,’ for, although he like my husband, he was a ‘wreck.’ This, he expiained, was due to the suffering he had undergone, “Then his sister came in, and she recognized him as her brother. Neigh- .bora who knew my husband also snook hands with the man, and he eatens fuse of the. children.’’ Mra. Dandy reiated that bail explained that tatiou marks which she knew were On the real Sergt. Vandy’s arm had been burnt out in Hgypt and that an abscess on the neck had been filled in, His excuse for his ignorance of va- rious domestic matters, ehe said, was that he had lost his memory, owing te hig experience in the war. Her Brother Accepted Him, “A little time after we had lived to- gether,’’ said Mrs. Dandy, “he met my and thought he was a detec- tive. When he my brother they talked together, and my brother concluded that Hall was my husband. My own sister saw Hall and took him to be Sergt. Dandy. “He addressed our relatives by their Christian namés, wept with me and ether women, who recognized him as the Sergeant, and expressed joy at being home again. “Though at first I had some doubt, owing to his altered appearance, I ac- cepted him as my husband, and thought the alteration was due to hard experi- | ence in the war. “When Hall was finally taken in cus- and see him, ard bring him comforts. He said: ‘Don't desert me now I am in gaol.’ The lettera were not in my hus- band’s handwriting.’’ Mrs. Dandy sobbed, and exclaimed hysterically: “I had nine children in 10 years, and my husband and me al- Ways got on very well together. I thought too much about my husband to think of anybody else. “It is a shame that this trouble should come upon me, an innocent woman. i have never known wrong in my life. I have never thought of a man coming to me and saying that he was my hus- band, and to think that my poor hus- band is laid below!’’ Believes He Was Brether. Sergt. Dandy’s sister, Mrs. Edith Watson, etated that whe she met Hall he said, “Oh, Bdith, I am glaa to see you.” She believed he was her brother. A Sergeant in the Eighth Manches- ter Regiment said he saw Sergt. Dandy when they were disembark- ing at Gallipoli. Hall, he added, bore a striking resemblance to Sergt. Dandy, but was shorter and stouter. Mrs. Ada Hall said the man in the dock was her husband. They had lived together at Patricroft, Salford, and had six children. Hall had joined the Lancashire Fusiliers. said the Justice, “is whether they consider the wife was deceived.

SSN ANGELO Tex Dec. 11.—It is not unlikely that the City Council of San An- gelo will recede from its recent action in refusing to accept as a gift to the municipality the electric street railway system here. The offer was made in good taith by J. B. Sugg, owner of the property, several days ago. The City Council rejected it because the system is not a paying proposition. It was for this very reason that Sugg wants to get'rid of the property. The City Council may reconsider its action in refusing to accept the railway in as much as the popular demand that this he done has taken the form of a numer- ously signed petition. Sugg is primarily a multimillionaire stockman. He has varied other business interests, but it is in broad acres of pas- ture land and white-faced cattle that his interests chiefly lie. The street rall- Way system here was, in a way, “wished” upon. him. .When it was built a few years ago by a syndicate of local men Sugg showed his usual spirit of clvic enterprise by advancing a consid- When a few weeks ago the City Coun- cil insisted on enforcing certain require- ments on the property, which, if com- plied with, would have entailed a stil! further financial drain upon his private ref yurces, Sugg offered the city the al- ternative of accepting the system as a gift from him, or that it should permit him to tear up the tracks and abandon the property. The Council refused both propositions. It took the position that the street. rail- way shall be kept in good repair and op- erated regularly, irrespective of its financial losses. It is the opinion of many people here that the street railway franchise has 42 paper value much in excess of its pres- ent actual earning capacity. The city is growing rapidly and _ in a few more years the system would probably be making a good interest on the investment. It’ ts also asserted that the line would pay now if it was extended into certain resi- dence districts. Men’s Suits and Overcoats, 2.95. Reduction sale, Globe, 7th & Franklin.

Joe’s manager refused. “We'll wrestle Farmer Burns or anybody else, five throws, but all must be ‘catch-as-catch-can,’” he an- swered. “Joe knows how to wrestle with his legs, That’s all.” Four or five years’ ago Joe Stecher was husking corn for a living. At that time he was ee over in Western Iowa, somewhere. After the day’s work was finished the huskers used to gather in the barn and wrestle. Joe gained a big reputation on the farm. Stecher’s First Purse $1.87. Then a match was worked up with the champion from a neighboring farm. Admission was 1 cents. If the fellow didn’t have 10 cents, he could get in for 5. Joe threw his opponent two straights and took the entire gate. It was $1.87. That was the first time.he ever wrestled for money.

The players are now looking for a lace in which to contest their games, nasmuch as they will be unable to play in the Central High School gymnasium, as was first intended, fiom to a law which states that school buildings may not be used for other than strictly scho- lastic purposes. A committee of three was appointed to seek an available court. It was decided to tition the ashington University authorities for the use of the Francis Field gym, on playing nights. If the request is not granted, the games will be played in Louisiana Hall and an ad- mission of 10 cents charged. <o6 30 po dngnonn’ 7 agen at the meeting represented eight among them the Missouri Girls, Blue Birds, Matthews, Colonial Tigers and the “Oh” team of the Y.

NO YALE PLAYERS PLACED ON CAMP'S ALL AMERICA TEAM Baston of Minnesota and Ma- comber of Illinois, Are Westerners Named. HARVARD GETS 3 PLACES Cornell Bleven Is Represented Twice on Ell Expert’s “First” Lineup. Walter Camp, Yale graduate and for a long time the chief football adviser of the Bulldog coaching system, has completed his 1916 all-American football selections for Collier’s Weekly. Mr. Camp is the originator of the all-Amer- ican team and for years wae the only expert game enough to try it. Since the wonderful development of football has spread from coast to coast, the all-American task has grown to al- most impossible proportions. Mr. Camp has been quoted as saying that this year’s effort will be his last at classi- fying the country’s best talent. The most notable point in the list of names is the absence of Yale from the first-team players -mentioned. [It is probably the first time in the history of edllege football that Yale has not been reckoned to have a star of the first magnitude, The next notabie point is the fact that two Western men break into the first team. Baston of the University of Min- nesota and Macomber of the University of Illinois are the greatest football play- ers in the West, according to Walter Camp. Van de Graaf on Second Team. Buck of Wisconsin gets a place on the second team and Squier of Illi- nois, Russel] of Chicago and Abra- ham of the Oregon Aggies on the third. The uth gets representa- tion on the second team with Van de Graaf of Alabama. a‘ . Camp comes te the éonclusion that season showed a marked de- terioration of the formerly so-called big teams. Noticeably was this the case with ale an Pennsylvania, Yale not getting a representative on the first team and Pennsylvania being left out entirely. The Elis succeeded in getting one man on the seco leven—Black, at guard—buf, that’ i ee Harvard gets t 6h first eleven and Cornéll two. rtmouth, Pitts- burg, Syracuse and Colgate get one One of the surprises is the pincing of Oliphant of est Point on he second squad, both King of Har- vard and Macomber of Illinois crowd- ing the former Purdue man out as first choice. The writer points out that the material this year is culled ftom over 20 different colleges. This is the way Mr. Camp arrives at his selections. Heavy Guards Desirable. “The line selected is a heavy one. It has been demonstrated pretty close- ly this year that when men of large physique can ploy football the power they have, both in attack and defense, is well nigh overwhelming. We have the most agile and clever center of the year in Peck of Pittsburg, weigh- ing about 175 pounds, but backed u by two guards so powerful that Pec gets a chance to display his agility and not worry about any weight that may be thrown against the center trio. The guards are Schiachter of Syracuse and Spears of Dartmouth, tipping the scales between them close to 600 pounds and both extremely active as well. Schiachter, in the game where Syracuse destroyed Col- an undefeated season ore was respon- s whole side of heavy ma men “nat as played the position in several years. “Fie was practically the only man in the Colgate line who could really stem the tide of the Syracuse avalanche. the other tackle we have Gil- man of Harvard, «4 werful and thinking player, one of the pair of men that made Harvard's attack so strong this year, and a man not only good on the defensive, but a great opener of holes on offensive.

Tate Brady’s unprotected soccer cruiser, “Naval Reserves,” will meet a super-dreadnought, loaded to the gills with 15-inch guns, this after- noon, if we are to accept the word of Billy Monahan, successor to Billy Klosterman. “The full strength of the St. Leos will be in the field Sunday for the first time this season,” said Mona- han night. “We began opera- tions without Duke Sheehan, who was indisposed, at’ the start of the campaign. ter, we lost Bill Ab- stein for two games and Sucher for a like amonat. gonnae Milles mines’ @ game, and a mes Wwe - wena ta the back field, and vice versa. “Today we have the full strength with Steffen, who has been star for the Columbian A.

Special. to the Post-Dispatch. FULTON, Mo., Dec. 11.—Two St Louis boys, Harry H. Vaughan, cen- ter, and Syl Merstetter, quarterback, of the Westminster College footbal) team, fame attained by Mound City boys in Missouri college circles by gating places on the All-Star Missouri teams picked this season by football ex- perts, officials, coaches and _ sport writers. They were two of the nine men from the Blue Jay squad selected for places on the mythical teams, being the largest number attained Dy any team on the circuit, the champion illiam Jewell eleven of Liberty securing but eight places on the three teams picked, Vaughan, who has been playing four years:at Westminster, was. an easy winner for the position of cen- ter on the first team. Merstetter was named captain ana quarterback on the third team and this was regarded as a signal honor for the former Cen- tral “pode? as it was his first year in college football. , It is very seldom that a former high school player shows enough class in his first season out as a col- lege player to make any of. the teams. Jack Wilson, the captain elect for. 1916, and T. Benny Craighead the speedy halfback, were the other West- minster men who made the first team. ° Besides second and third teams went to the following Blue Jay pigskin pum- melers: Capt. McCampbell, end and captain of second team, (he lost out on a place on the first team by one vote); Matsell and Schwabe, half- backs; Stambaugh, guard; Aull, tackle. Mound City Men Prominent.

Northwest Feels Hurt. N Portland, Ore. they are very much worked up over the neglect of the East to consider its team, col- lectively or individually, in the cham- pionship ratings and all-America col- lections. One sporting editor point: out the following dope on W ashing- ton, as compared to that of Eastern elevens: Washington State beat the Ore- —Q(0: the Oregon Ag- Michigan Aggies 0—0: the Michigan Aggies beat Michigan University 24—0; ergo, Washington State is 73 points better than Michigan. Investi- ating further, Syracuse beat Sichiran 14—7 and Princeton beat Syracuse 3—0, so Washington State has a 63-point margin over Princeton. Also, on comparative scores, Washington State is 50 points superior to Cornell, 60 points superior to Harvard and 64 points superior to Yale, gauged by Washington and eiferson scores with Yale and Lafayette. The same sporting writer also names eight Northwestern players who should be considered: Laythe, 210- pound tackle, Oregon ASE es; Abra- ham, 176-pound fullback, Oregon Ag- gies; Beckett, 200-pound tackle, Ore- on: Miller, 200-pound halfback, Vashington University: Bangs, 17 ound halfback, Washington State; ietz, 178-pound halfback, Washing- ton State; poplin e 185-pound tackle, Washi gion State, and Hoo- ver, 170-pound ullback, Whitman.

As for Fred Fulton— IKE COLLINS, who is leading around the big bear-cat of a “hope,” Fred Fulton of Rochester, Minn., has probably lost the complete use of his sensory nerves. Otherwise the odor of the cheese would run him away. ' For Fulton, who came from no- where into championship recognition, and who will fight Willard for the ti- tle, early in March, is solid gorgon- zOla, viewed in the light of his achievements. This 6-foot-4 speci- men has never whipped anybody of any consequence. , He beat Arthur Pelky; but then even Joe Cox did that, and in much shorter time than it took Fulton.

MAY HURT M1. A. A. OR CARNIVAL Athletic Committee May Be Forced to Alter Day of Big Track Event. SWIMMING TO BE BOOMED Princeton and Three Chicago Teams: Expected to Meet Local Men Here. The year 1916, from present indica- tions, will see a renaissance in matters athletic at the Missouri Athletic Asso- ciation. According to the program laid out by the M. A. A. Athletic Com- mittee, from the first of the year through, March, the Cherry Diamond organization will take part in the fol- lowing sports: Soccer, basket bali, in- door track,. boxing, cross-country and swimming. According to Thomas Watts, athletic hustler for the club and also the brand- new president of the Western A. A. U.. it won't be “piker’’ fashion that the M. A. A. will indulge in these pastimes. , Several of the events will bring the club national notice. Coach Thomas Whitaker of the M. A. A. swimming squad intends to bring the Princeton niversity, the Illinois and Hamilton Athletic clubs of Chicago and the Chicago Athletic Assocfation swim- ming wg pce here to compete with the Cherry Diamond paddlers in dual meets. The local bunch then expects to travel to Chicago and be entertained in re- turn meets by the Illinois, Hamilton and Chicago clubs. This would give the M. A. A. paddlers seven meets and, with proposed dual events with the Columbian A. C. and Washington University tank squads to fill in, it will be seen that Whitaker's ‘nen will have quite an extensive pro- gram to work out. National Events May Come. Tom Wafts put in bids for the holding of several of the National A. A. swimming championship events here this winter and has hope of having his peti- tions fulfilled. The awarding of these to the M. A. A. would bring the country’s best swimmers to this city. It has been decided to hold the big relay carnival at the Coliseum again this year, Watts is at present in doubt as to the date of the games. He had agreed with the Valley Confer- ence athletic directors to stage the event on March 18. But the “Big Nine” has arranged its inioor meet for the same date. Watts will at- tempt to gain the sanction of the Conference officials to change his olin s date. articulars for. the carnival will not be given out until later; but in- asmuch as it has been stated that the 1916 meet will outdo that of 1913, track followers are assured of wit- nessing some _ clagsful competition. This event will be preceded by two minor meets for local athletes. These will be held at either the Jai Alai building or the Armory. — assure local athletes that they will have some place in which to work, and compete for prizes. Cross-Country to Be Tried. The fact that a cross-country team woulj be supported by the organiza- tion was announced only last Friday. Several of the Missouri A. A, A. marathoners will work out with the Washington U. cross-country trotters during the season. Competitive dates will be announced later, As to soccer, the club is now repre- sented in the second division of the Forest Park League in the Municipa' Athletic Association. At present the eleven is leading its division and judging from the outlook will put na strong bid for the title. Basket ball is the opert which those interested .in club athletics desire to bring to the front once again. league of eight business men’s teams has already been formed and the schedule is under way. However, a representative team its desired, one that will rank up well with the fast set of the country. Years back the Missourl!l A. C. was represented by a quintet that beat everything in the country. Yale ani Carlisle were brought here and went back home with wallopings. In fact, it was the sheer superiority of the five that resulted in its own disaster inasmuch as it broke up from lack of competition. Work to build up another strong five is now under way and by next year the athletic authorities hope to have one of the best teams in the city. Then after March, with the an- nual marathons and the outdoor track and field gasnes and the Labor day swim, it may be seen that 1916 will be a pretty pvely sport year for the Missouri A. A.

T At thig time last year the St. Louis U. authorities were engagei in mak- ing their own athletic schedules and had officially applied to the Tiger officials for a football date ayd un- officially were dickering for a series of basket ball contests. Both were turned down. This year the St. Louis school has again applied for a foot- ball game with the Tigers and it is being consijered at length by Coach Brewer. No application has come for a contest between the Billiken and Tiger basket quints, but the Tiger schedule could easily accommodate such a pair in the nature of pre-séa- son or practice games. Three Open Dates The open dates on the Missouri 1916 football program are Oct. 7, Oct. 14 and possibly Nov. 26, a week after the Piker game at Columbia and the Saturday before the Thanksgiving fame with Kansas. It is understood hat St. Louis University would come to Columbia proviiing a contract for future games could be arranged.

Basket ball as a winter sport is becom- ing more and more popular; big squads are out, there are peter club, class, de- partment and fraternity games at the Symnasium, and the attendances at the conference games are predicted to ba larger ‘than the seating facilities will be able to handle. . The Tigers open with the Pikers at Columbia, Jan. 10 and 11. This is just four weeks earlier than the season opened last year. The team goes to Ames on Jan. 14 and 15, and then the final examinations and the closing 2f the semester intervene, so that the next ames are with Oklahoma at Columbia, eb. 4 and & This short series will be the first between the Sooners and the Tigers in basket ball and is looked for- ward to with interest as showing 2 tendency for the Southwest school to become more closely identified with the Missouri Valley Conference, of which it is not a member. »Iwo Games With Pikers The remainder of the schedule in- cludes two games with Kansas at Co- lumbla, Feb, 9-10; Kansas at Lawrence, Feb. 25-26; Kansas Aggies at Manhattan, Feb. 28-29. The season closes with the same quint as it begins with; the Wash- ington. Pikers, two games being held .in St. Louis, March and 4. Practice games with Maryville Nor- mal and Central College are likely be- fore and after the Washington opening series, and there remain four games lat- er on for scheduling, which probably will. go to Missouri Colleges. nly two games are being played this year with Ames and the Kansas Aggies, since it was decided that for a time a series of two games would alternate each year with these schools on the home floors.

COLUMBIA, HE major part ofthe University of Missouri’s 1916 basket ball, track, baseball and football schedules has been made out, but there remain open dates on both the basket ball and football programs, some of which may possibly be awarded to St. Louis University. of such a contract. Definite action is forthcoming. As yét Drake University has been left out of the Tiger schedule for next fall, a thing which has not oc- curred for many years, for Drake has been an annu gg ag The chief reason for the failure to schedule a game is that the Tigers are already tng N Ok.., 1, Am Oct ges ith 2 w —- on.

It is this model which has given lasting popularity to the Case cars, and {ts owners hgve found it well worth the original price of $2300. W. S. ‘Roberts, manager of the local Case branch, says that the refinements of this new car are individual. It still hag the basic engine which earned for Case the title of “The Car With the Famous Engine.” Case engineers.have made improvements, retaining the sim- plicity and dependability of old. They have gained flexibility and greater power without having to resort to the multiplication of cylinders and parts. The motor is of four cylinders, bore 3%-inch, stroke 6-inch, developing 4-b.- h? p. at 2100-r. p. m. The policy of the Case company, ac- cording to Mr. Roberts, has been to gradtally reduce the price from year t> year as warranted by increased pro- duction and improved manufacturing fa- cilities without consequent reduction in avality. So, without a startling decline. they are able to reduce the price of this model to $1000.

Michigan star, whose all- round work in the box, in the outfield and at the bat last year gives ground for so much hope‘of future development. At present the collegian’s presence has nothing to do with the national pastime, however. The duty for which he is re- porting centers at the salesroom of the George P.

This lo- cation will be the focus of Sisler’s activities until, early in March, Branch Rickey sounds the call to arms for the Browns: training trip.

OVERLAND IN FAST RACE The showng made by an Overland stock car in the Arizona Grand Prix race held récently at Phoenix, brought the 20,000 spectators of the 150-mile event to their feet. In competition with an even dozen cars, specially built for racing, and driven by nationally known race driv- ers, the Overland finished third. Earl Cooper took first place in a whirlwind finish, crossing the line a few seconds ahead of the two leading cars. The Overland had the distinction of being the only bonafide stock car in the contest. The motor, chassis, transmis- sion and all other parts were regular equipment. With the exception of an aluminum body, it was {dentically the same car that is shipped by hundreds . coecmentenen een PRIZES FOR SUGGESTIONS Officials of the Chalmers Motor Co. have decided on Thursday, Dec. 23, as the date for the distribution of $500 in prize money to the winners in the first suggestion contest héeld by the Detroit cencern.

Ferguson, who has studied the question of women drivers, says ‘‘driv- ing an automobile is not a question of sex but of temperament.” The American Automobile Association is not going to get mixed up in the question of whether a woman should drive a motor car. “What's the use? We have troubles enough as it is,” said Mr. Ferguson. Mrs. Norman Galt, fiancee of Presi- dent Wilson, believes women are capa- ble of driving a car.

Tolede Reo Quality Is Regain _ Every Reo Car Is a Good Car YOUR REO MOTOR—the motor that will go into your Reo—into every Reo car—is dynamometer tested. Perhaps you don’t catch the full a of that statement— sounds like ‘“‘shop talk’’ to you. ALL RIGHT, WE’LL EXPLAIN: And in the explanation bchaiin we can show you why Reo quality is uniform—why every Reo is just as good—just as powerful, just as swect- running and just as low in upkeep cost as the best Reo we ever made. MOST MAKERS CONSIDER it sufficient to subject every tenth or every fifteenth and in some cases every one-hundredth motor to the dynamometer test. (Of course we are speaking now of those leading makers who have this expensive equipment. Many scarcely know the meaning. of the term.) It is considered sufficient gauge of the accuracy of workmanship and the power of motor to test one “‘about every so often.” IF THAT ONE PROVES UP it is assumed that the rest of that day’s run will average about the same. If it falls below the requirements in the test it is in like manner assumed that the rest are below standard—and measures are taken to correct it in the next batch. MEANTIME YOU MIGHT be one of those to get one of those that didn’t prove up. THE REO FOLK do not consider that kind of testing sufficient. It isn’t sufficient, for Reo must be as good in every respect as any “averages up.”” The Reo standard says — Reo ever turned out of the factory—e little better if possible, since today’s cars ought to be better than yeaterday’s. AND SO YOU CAN KNOW —you can feel absolutely sure—that the individual car we deliver to you, has, itself and its*evéry part, passed through the most rigid tests.

W. A. Vesper, president of the Vesper-Buick Auto Co., returned with Mrs. Vesper to| St. Louis this week, more than ever im- | pressed with the. good roads idea which seems so prevalent in the Far West. A D6-45, six-cylinder Buick touring car was shipped to San Francisco and tours were made from there, which included a trip via the mountain roads to Los An- geles, thence to San Diego by the coast line, and back by the valley roads, through Riverside, Redlands, Fresno and Bakersfield. “The trip,”” said Mr. Vesper, ‘““‘was a combination of business and pleasure, as I visited Buick branches and dis- tributors in Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, Los Ange- les and San Diego, and stopped for a visit with the Buick dealers in the prin- cipal cities en route. “At Denver we made a three days’ drive through Colorado, winding up at Canyon City. At Salt Lake we drove to nearby points for two or three days, and the same at Portland, the drive there including a trip over the new Co- lumbian highway, which is one of the most wonderful pieces of road engineer- ing I have ever seen, and, incidentally, one of the greatest drives scenically. At all:‘of these points the car was one furnished by the local distributor. My Own Car was shipped by the factory to San Francisco, and there I spent sev- eral days with R. H. Collins, general sales manager of the Buick Motor Co., at Flint, and was later joined by Dr. H. C. Aldrich and Mrs. Aldrich of Min- neapolis, who made up the party and who finished the trip with us. “The California roads were a revela- tion in that instead of an ordinary ma- ally asphalt paved streets. For instance, the road from San Francisco to Bakers- field, via Fresno, is an asphalt paved street, as good as Locust street, over 280 miles in length. The coast road from Los Angeles to San Diego is also asphalt paved. Besides this, hundreds of county reads, all of which are either concrete or asphalt, and most of which are at least 18 feet wide, to say nothing of the connecting roads, most of which are a‘ least built of disintegrated granite, makes a road system that is simply wonderful from a motorist’s point of view. We made a trip from San Fran- cisco over the new Half-Moon Bay road, which passes over the mountains below San Francisco on the coast and is a beautiful road in the shape of a loop, making about 130-mile drive that is wel! worth anybody’s-time or trouble to take. This wonderful highway was opened the week we arrived in San Francisco, and was one of the first trips taken, which includes wonderful mountain road and ocean scenery. We also had the honor of being one of the first cars over the Ridge road, from Bakersfield to Los An- geles, which is a newly opened highway the Cajon Pass and then directly over the ridge of the mountains. This new highway, when entirely completed, will, ists, inasmuch as it shortens the dis- tance from San Francisco to Los Ange- les, via the inland route, by nearly thirty miles, the éntire saving being made be- tween Bakersfield and Los Angeles.”’ CAR MAKERS BUILD AEROPLANE ENGINE When asked as to the reported ac- tivity of the Packard Motor Car Co. in the aeronautical field, President Henry B. Joy made the following state- ment: “Yes, it is true that the Packard com- pany has felt that on account of the elaborate engineering studies which it has accomplished in recent years which have led it to the Twin Six type of mo- tor, that it has become incumbent upon it to develop aerocraft motors for mil- itary purposes. *T have recently ridden in one of the best American aeroplanes, studying the application of an aeroplane motor to the wants of aerocraft. Some of our directors have done considerable aero- plane riding, and know the. serious needs of the aeroplane art for the very best motors. which can possibly be pro- duced. ‘It is probably a little out of the or- dinary for a corporation to go. out of its way to produce such military de- vices as aeroplane motors, because the demand for them will probably be very uncertain. Yet our directors feel that it is a part of the very important duty of manufacturers in this country to mobilize their facilities into such form as that they might be availed of in time of need. We are inclined to feel that our Government is going to find important need of co-operating in the development of what would be the seri- ous wants of our country in.time of military trouble, in case such an unfor- tunate condition should come to pass.”’ TEXANS CLAMOR FOR MORE AUTOMOBILES Louls Goodhart, representative of the factory which manufactures the Hollier 8" car will spend the next three weeks with the Johnson Automobile Co., as- sisting in the exploitation of the Hollier “8"". Goodhart has just returned from Texas and is enthusiastic in the descrip- tion of the wonderful business activity in that State. He says that automobile dealers there are hundreds of cars be- hind their orders and that everybody in the state seems to want an automobile. He closed agencies for the Hollier in all of the principal towns in Texas and ays that in three weeks agency sales amounted to two million dollars. DODGE CAR A “COW PONY” “Buck” Sawyer had ridden everything on four legs around Gooding, Idaho, and when a Dodge Brothers car was added to the equipment of the cow camp, so that the boss could journey to town and back more quickly, “Buck” gave it a tryout. He put his saddle on the ¢iood and with a trusty bunkie at the wheel he started after the recalcitrant bovines. His success in roping from the car was great and he was so pleased that he broke into song and emitted the fol- lowing: “Rounding up the cattle, Tt is a mighty task, But when we got our Dodge, We aid it very fast.” The Post-Dispatch ts the only evening news- reer in St. Louis that receives or publishes pews gathered by the Associated Press cadam or hard rock road, they are actu- | with granite surface, passing through | no doubt, be the most popular for tour- |: ]PULLMAN HAS NEW COUPE The Ideal Motor Sales Co., 1312 &.

Each expresses the best of ita type. © Each possesses individual distinction. Each is winning high favor among buyers. The Year-’Round Coupe and Touring Car are the stand- | ard Roadster and Touring Car, equipped with mountable enclosed tops. Measurably improved, these tops carry forward idea of two-cars-in-one which the Hupp Motor Company nationally popularized last year. Their advantages in increased comfort and utility, ¢ their low cost, are obvious. On the street it is ait. ficult to distinguish these cars from permanently enclosed models. The Sedan—affording shelter and protection at all seasons and t, in all weathers—is displacing cars in many families. ) It is especially a car for the owner-driver; and there is ne question that this Hupmobile offers all that any sedan at any price can give you. At $2365 the Hupmobile limousine incorporates every. detail ot luxury and refinement expected in this type. Its pass¢nger compartment affords more than ordinary comfort for five persons by reason of its pment with earillary seats heavily cushioned in Pullman chair P tuubdon. Practically every closed car requirement is met by the Hup- mobile. We shall welcome the opportunity of discussing any of these models.

TE der “little Delaunois,”’ as they call her, was a very lonely person. But this year it is different, and here is the explanation, translated from the French in which she told the story of her sugmmer’s adventure: “During last winter,’’ began Mme. De- launois, seated in the front room of her apartment near ihe opera house; “I got a few letters from my husband in which he said that when the sum- mer came for us to see each other, if only for a moment, we would be ready. we could not make any plans for meet- ing, as we were afraid the letters might be opened, but 1 let him know 1 would go abroad and wait until [ beard something from him. “So as soon as the season was over I went.to Paris and settled down to wait. On June 8 I received a telegram saying: “Come to Amiens. Go to Hotel de I'Univers. Wait there.’ “Off I went. When I reached the ho- tel I found no word waiting and was afraid to make any inquiries for fear my purpose would become known to the authorities. It is, of course, strictly for- bidden for wives to visit their husbands at the front. “I spent a week at the hotel, and not @ word came:from my husband. Time did not hang so heavily, however, for there was much to see in Amiéns, which is not so far from the front. “The hotel is near the railroad. One night we were‘all waked up by a series of explosions. Everyone rushed into the street in night clothes, as we did not know what had happened. We soon German air ma- raid and had chines had made a dropped bombs on the railroad, aiming particularly at the station and the freight yards, which contained French war material. Little damage was done, however, and we were able to enjoy it as a spectacle. “On the eighth day of my stay, a man who came in an automobile handed me a letter. me to see him, as the time was par- ticularly propitious, and that if I kept my courage everything could be carried out safely if luck did not go against us. ' The Woman Who Knew. “The letter told me to go to a certain woman merchant near the town, who would tell me what further to do. “When I visited this woman she in- formed me that my husand had made arrangements with her, and the first thing for me to do was to visit the French commandant and see whether I could get a passport to take mie to the village of Authie, about half a day dis- tant. the told me to say that J wisked to go there in order to bring back a little nephew, and coached me on cer tain pointa so that I could answer. ques- rou -wenibebiy will not get the pass- * she said, ‘but {it fs worth trying. fail, come back and we will ar- it otherwise.

Our wagon was in charge of a man @ woman of the countryside, and I found 1 was to have a fellow passenger, a woman whose hus: band was in the ambulance service, sta- tioned in the same general section as mine. “Then we started. We were supposed to be , farmers of Authle who - had brought a load of vegetables to Amiéns the day befote and were now returning home, our produce disposed of. The Peasant and his wife sat on the seat driving, and my fellow passenger and myself sat in the body of the wagon, making ourselves as inconspicuous as we could. I was warned not to rise un- der any conditions if we were stopped and questioned, as the soldiers would tuen notice the difference between .my height and that mentioned in the pass- port. Soldiers Not Suspicious. “Luckily for us the farmer and his wife who were driving were known in the countryside, so the suppositions were in our favor on their face. "Greatest luck of all, we were never stopped bythe gendarmes. The soldiers. are ‘bons garcons’ and are easy-going and good natured. If I had even been discovered I think I would have had some chance of getting through with them by telling them the rea! truth and throwing myself on their mercy. “But the gendarmés are mean and fussy. Moreover, they are natives and wotld have instantly detected that. my patois was not that of the countryside, even though my friends had practiced me in it. With the soldiers I would have had a fair chance of seeming: in proper character, even with a Parisian accent, for they might be from Paris or from a section of France other than that in which we were. “We got to Authie at about 10 o'clock. My driver had been directed to. go to a certain farmhouse in the village. When we got there it proved he did not know where the house was. ‘Now, much to our alarm, we had to drive about the village until we should Nappen to meet someone the driver knew. He did not dare to ask ques- thhons of anyone else. “Authie is about five miles from He. buterne, which was then in the actuai line of battle. The place was full of’ sol- dias. We were now near enough to the trout to hear the booming of cannon fairly regularly. “While we were going through a side road we heard a commotion behind, ané through the dust we could see auto trucks coming filled with. soldiers. We drew as far aside from the road as we could, and when they passed: us it. was evident they wege reinforcements going to the front. “The men were very gay. They were joking and singing among themselves, and flung jocular remarks to us as‘ they went by. “Suddenly, from one ofthe auto trucks coming up, there was. much shouting. and I saw the men pointing to me. “*At, there's a Parisienne, they ex. claimed; “What are You doing here?’ and all sorts of similar pleasantries. “I was then sitting at ‘the back of the vegetable wagon. I wondered what it was that had given me away, and then, glancing down, saw that underneat _ peasant skirt and bonnet my P shoes and stockings were showing. "I had forgotten to make my disguise com- plete enough. “The soldiers thought it a great: joke and passed the word back from truck to truck. | “After a while our driver found some one he knew and found out where my re os They took me there set mé down on the steps, only to find that the farmers were in the fields working and the house was ¢losed.

I was taken to a room. “As I lay on my bed, at about 3 o'clock, I heard a horse enter the yard. I looked out of the window and then hastily drew back, for the yard was full of soldiers. In. a moment, however, footsteps that I recognized came toward the door. I unlocked it and threw it open, and there stood my husband, whom I had not seen for nearly a year. “We hardly knew éach other at the meeting.

The wholesale de- partment was closed and ft was with difficulty that the -total amount could | be made up.

Dec. 11.— How two men flung the wife ‘of one of them over a §)-foot biuff to a death Ciey, had deliberately planned - three months before, is told in a confession made by Charles E: Etchison, a tray- cling salesman, who was arrésted tn Washington, D. C., and returned ‘here under an indictment for first degree murder. The other man is Frederick T. Price, who also is in jail under indict- ment. ‘Mrs. ‘Mary Fridiey Price, in'a drop off a high bluff on the east: vank of the Mississippi River, near here, was killed, Nov. 28, 1914,.and uytil recently it was believed she had met death while trying to save her pet dog ‘'rom falling, as was told by her husband and his'tom- fon. After his confession, Etchison was taken to the scene of the tragedy, and there he re-enacted as. ueéarly as nos- sible the details of the tragedy. He showed how the two medi, standing on stamped and presented at the receiving} the ground about three feet ‘rom tie window. No instructions regarding such shipments had been received from Washington, and the packages were ac- cepted and included in the mails with- out cuestion. . The Kristianafjora was on the high seas before the matter was called t? the attention of the authorities, and the legality of using the first-class mail service of the United States as a pro- tection for food shipments to Germany will doubtless be determined before the boat has a chance to make its delivery at Christiana. It was said at the post- office that there was no rule . which could be invoked to prevent such a shipment. The shipment of parcel post pack- ages to Germany was suspended Nov. 145 by an order of the Government, after all the Holland-American line had re- fused to take futrher shipments, claim- ing that the mail service was being in- terrupted by England because of the supply of foodstuffs which was leaking into Germany and Austria-Hungary by that mieans. Shipments of food, it is said, averaged around 20,000 parcels a week from the: United States until the parcels post service was abahdoned. Dr. Henry J. Wolf is chairman; Dr. Jacob W' Loch, secretary ,and Carl Schurz, treasurer of the Citizens’ Com- mittee, which also includes many wom- en, including. Mrs, Samuel Unterméyer, an announcement by the committee says: “The postage on each package amount- ed to $3.52, which is an extraordinarily high tax to pay for sending food to Ger- many. The ladies of tHe citizens’. com- mittee were desirous of. getting these parcels to the starving children of Ger- mary and Austria and donated sufficient funds for the sending of condensed milk and. other foods: méntioned to the: little ones.” FAMOUS RUSSIAN BALLET TO BE AT ODEON MARCH 6—7 Two-Thirds of Necessary Guaranty Fand Has Been.

The heifer trade probably suffered to the greatest extent. ‘Buyers sliced -values around to on these, especially the me- dium heavy kinds. The choice lights, however, suffered the least. Cows were called steady to 10c lower all week. Bulls were in moderate supply and after regaining a heavy loss on the initial ses- sion sold about steady to close the week. Veal calves were in moderate showing all week, but at that there was a light competition and .sellers were forced to take off a little on certain/sessions. The top for the week was $10.29, but this was ee ig a couple of days ‘and the bulk ig + aa t vealers errr in a rangé oO The aditee and feeder trade was a shade lower also. Buyers made reduc- tions of lic to 25c on dium ba oe: but the. choice light ht stock sold about steady and were in good, strong call. Southern Cattle Steady. he ro ts of Southern cattle were fairly liberal last week, The offer- ng, however, came mostly from dautheastern sections, with the éx- ception of 17 loads that came from Téxas ,and sold in the inaugural sea- gion of the week. The steers on the offering sold from $8.26 to §8. Ge the latter prices being the = the market since the fore of July. The offering carried 10 loads of cows that sold in a range of $5.20 to be ies and a car of heifers went at $7.50. a strong price. The market on this grade of Southwestern stuff was steady. Canners and mixed stuff of all de- scriptions from the Southeastern sec- tions went lower the fore part of the week, but partly regained this to- wards the close, and the close Satur- day found values no worse than 10c off. Canners sold mostly from: $3. 4 to. $4, while cuttering went in range of $4.10 to $4.25, Yearlings sold from $3.75 to $3.90, with a few strong kinds selling as high as $4, There was a good active movement the latter part of the week, and sell- ers had no trouble getting a good ae eh clearance for the weék. Te ee supply of hogs was re- ceived, as there was in the neighbor- hood of 73,000 head on the mat Set during the week, or an average -of about -12,000 per "day.

Largely as a result, prices closed firm, {c to lc net higher, with December at $1.10 nominal, May at $1.13% and July at $1.04%. Corn gained %c to %c, and oats 4c to %c. Wheat traders attached significance to the fact that seaboard clearance of breadstuffs, besides of being of great volume, contained a véry. small propor- tion from C a. More than four- fifths of the total. of 2,590,000 bushels originated in the United States. It was on buying based on s fact that the market suet before the close touched the highest price level of the day. An earlier displa y of strength ap- ared to come chiefly as 4 gear rom the compere” effects of talk. Offerings e during an init ial period of wea Par due to lower quota- tions fronmr Liverpool had been readily absorbed and the advantage thereafter, barring one notable lull in the demand, was decidedly with the bulls. World shipments of wheat Monday were expected to be fairly large,’ — the outiook also was for a ona n- crease in the United States visible sup ply. In this connection the fact was noted that the first shipments of new Australian wheat were reported today, 160,000 bushels, and that navigation on the Great Lakes ends at midnight to- morrow. The late reaction in wheat futures ‘Thursday and Friday, proved some- what of a surprise to the trade, as after quotations got about bc under the high of the er week, profes- sionals thought the break had been sufficient, and bought back their holdings, sold on the extreme ad- vance. hen the decline continu in the closing days of the week, these traders sold out again, and hel ped along the atta range of quotations. The forei situation entered largely into t a most amb pap ge sell- ing, as the Ancona in nt and our of a severance of friendly relations note to Austria raised the question with that country. Traders also as- serted that too much bullishness had been engendered by Canada's action in comandeering 20,000,000 bushels of wheat in Canadian elevators for use of the entente allies, as thé action of the’ Government would seem to indi- cate, that England will take other wheat later on, if necessary to supply |. her needs; and should she do so, for- eign fo am might be sufficient to eee ee “— eee ‘th 118 115 ite ad i cheba de oo oe hicago seveeee 1 City inneapolls’ aeedes: o40an oledo *eeeee eeeete & ia % St. Louis eeeeves eevee ‘Chi eeeeeeeeeeee Kansas St. Louls . ‘Chicago SATURDAY’S COMPARATIVE FUTURE QUOTATIONS. aie WHEAT. 111% 7 Ga JULY WHEAT.

BIG TREE IN 12TH STREET Mayor and Party Will Go to Cedar Hill Next Sunday to Cut 103 Smaller Evergreens. Park Commissioner Cunliff completed arrangements yesterday for the street Christmas festival at Twelfth and Le- cust streets and at six public play- grounds, from which carol singers will start on musical pilgrimages at 6:30 p. m. Christmas eve. Mayer Kiel and a party of city offi- Clals and representatives of the asso-_ Clations having charge of exercises at the playgrounds, will travel in eutomo- biles next Sunday at 8 a. m., to Cedar Hill, 30 miles west of St. Louis, on the Gravois road, to cut down 168 big ever- green trees for the) occasion. The Mayor will preside at a turkey Ginner at the Cedar Hill Hotel, and the party will return in the evening. Hi A. Boland, an attache of the Park Depart- ment, last week visited Cedar Hill and marked the trees to be cut. The giant tree that will be placed in the center of Twelfth street will be supplied by the Bell Telephone Co. It will be 8 feet high and will be cut at Catawissa, on the Frisco railroad, about’ forty miles Tweifth street, from Olive street street, will be lined with er trees, electrically lighted.

At Fairground the program will be conducted the aft- ernoon and evening of Christmas day. Local committees are arranging the detalls of the playground entertain- ments. The city has appropriated $1500 toward the celebrations and the balance of the cost, estimated at more than $1000, will be borne by the Pageant assolation. Large trees and electric dighting will b. furnished at each playground, and an allowance of $15 made for the expenses of the entertainment. Free Elvery Day "TH!

Medium! to Whiskey Ring's Chief Foe for Rebult Tofd Now for First Time Walter B. Stevens, m Writing of Great Soldier’s Life in St. Louis, Gives First Publicity to judge Dyer’s Story of Former President’s ,mende Honorable to His Former Secretary of Treasury for Prosecuting His Private Secretary. AVID P. DYER, Judge of the United States District Court, has given an interesting contribution to history in the book on “Grant in St. Louis,” of which Walter B. Stevens, veteran St. Louis news paper writer and former Washington correspondent, is the author and which will be published by the Franklin Club this month. After he was stricken with fatal {llness and just before his removal from New York to Mount McGregor, Gen. Grant sent for Gen. Bristow and made a statement about the st. Louis Whisky Ring. Judge’ Dyer thinks that “no braver thing was ever done by Gen. Grant ‘in his illustrious, life than this acknowledgment.” 66 EN. GRANT,” the narrative G by Judge Dyer contin- “had no knowledge As United States District Attorney, Gudge Dyer conducted the investiga- tion from beginning to end and brought about the exposure of this monumental scheme which, according to the confession of the chief conspir- tor, John McDonald, defrauded the Government out of $2,786,000 revenue én about three years. Every particle of evidence presented to the grand juries and introduced in the many trials in court passed through the hands of Judge Dyer. Furthermore, a mass of condential information which did mot reach the public came into the” possession of the District Attér- ney before and after the trials in court. This threw a great deal of light upon the ramifications of the stupendous conspiracy. “At tio time during the prolonged inquiry, and in the years since,” is Judge Dyer’s testimony, “was any- thing discovered that reflected upon Gen. Grant’s integrity.” When almost a decade had passed; when sentences had been served, and when the great scandal had passed into history, there came the sequel which brought Into clear light the truth about Grant and the whiskey ring, and which is given publicity now, for the first time, by Judge Dyer. How Grant Snubbed Bristow. | FTER the conviction of many came the trial and acquittal of Babcock, the President’s private secretary. The acquittal was accomplished through the deposition given by Grant in the White House before the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and sent to St. Louis. Bristow was Secretary of the Treasury. He was practically forced out of that position for his aggressive prosecution of the ring. He went to New York and became the head of a law firm. Gen. Grant, after his retire- ment from the presidency on March 4, 1877, took up his residence in New York. City. Grant and Bristow, on a public oc- easion, met face to face. Grant saw Bristow, but without the slightest sign of recognition turned his back upon him and walked away. The action. was deliberate. It cut Bristow to the quick. Years later Judge Dyer was in New York. He called on Gen. Bris- tow, finding him high up in an office building in front of a blazing wood fire in genuine Kentucky comfort. The face of the former Secretary lighted up as he recognized his visitor. Im- mediately after the greeting Gen. Bristow said: “Col. Dyer, I have something to tell you that you will be glad to hear. tow, I wanted to see you for the pur- pose of acknowledging that I have done you wrong and greatly mis- judged you. I believed that in the »rosecution of Gen. Babcock and oth- ers you and those with whom you were associated were actuated by mo- tives of enmity towards me and my administration. I was wrong and you were right.’ ”’ “No Braver Thing.” oT HESE were the words of Gen. Grant, as Gen. Bris- tow, with feeling, repeated them to me,” Judge Dyer says, in con- clusion. “To my mind no braver thing was ever done by Gen. Grant in his illustrious life than this acknowl- edgment to Gen. Bristow. Gen. Grant believed in the innocence of Babcock. He gave his deposition, which was read at the trial; and it was that deposition and the comment of the Court upon it, that influenced the jury’s verdict. When and how Gen. Grant came to see that he had been deceived by false friends, he did not state. I have felt long that this inci- dent stated ought to be given public- ity in some-permanent*form. Grant yand Bristow are both dead. They were great men.” “Grant in St. Louis” is a book of 200 pages. It tells of Grant the Lieutenant at Jefferson Barracks in 1848 when he went a-courting; of Grant the home- builder and farmer on the Gravois road; of Grant the real estate agent on Pine street; of Grant the General on his visits to his family: of Grant the President when he saved the Bads Bridge; of Grant and the whiskey ring; of Grant and his struggle to overcome the drink habit. The book has a primary motive in the extensive collection of Grant let- ters which Mr. William K. Bixby has loaned to the Franklin Club for this, their first publicity. These letters are in the handwriting of Grant, several of them on the White House station- ery. In 1854 Grant resigned from the army. As he left Humboldt Bay, Cal- ifornia, he said to his brother offi- cers: “Whoever hears of me in 10 years will hear of a well-to-do Mis- souri farmer.” Longed for Farm. T the end of the 10 years, in A 1864, Grant was in the midst of the desperate campaigning from the Wilderness to Cold Harbor. After a hard day in the field, Grant, sitting at dinner in camp with his staff, said: .“I am looking forward ‘ ; He regards the President as a man who never has WE ve DE Obregon, the Real “Man of the Hour” in Mexico, Overshadows Carranza in the New Regime HE PE on Again.

A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 11. F a political tactician desires to indicate upon | a map of the United States the attitude of the people, antagonism to President Wilson being shown by the shaded portions, he may safely begin by taking a wide brush and drawing a black zone across the territory along the Mex- ican border from Atlantic tidewater to Pacific tidewater. In this region, the administration has no friends of any race, creed, color or political affiliation whatever. It is not only because of the money loss which they have suffered that these people are anti-Wil- son. Thousands of them live in Mexico in normal times. They have been driven away from their homes, ranches, farms, shops, stores or offices by the. wars, or have answered the President's call to Americans to come out of Mexico. These are the “little fellows’”’ who have stopped near the border. They are not the rick owners of mines and rail- roads. Their little investment in Mexico repre- sents their entire capital, usually, and the care and handling of it produce their income. ‘There have been no incomes for them since Mr. Wilson has been President. The larger view has-no attraction for them.’ The rights of peoples to settle their own revolutions, international comity, “watchful waiting,” all mean piffle to them. “tT went to Mexico 12 years ago with $1000. I worked hard and had a ranch I could have sold for $15,000 gold, and I had made a good living,” said one of this type. “President Wilson told me to get out and I got out. Now my ranch house has been burned, my cattle all killed, stolen or scat- tered, I have not had a cent from it in three years, and what has President Wilson done to save my property or protect me? Nota thing in the world. He has permitted these outlaws to take all I have and he has given me nothing back.” the refugees, are the American residents of Amer- ican border towns, who have seen the sources of their incomes slowly dry up as petty wars swept over Mexico, while the United States made no move to stop wars or banditry. THEY BELIEVE THIS COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE RESTORED ORDER IN MEXICO. HERE is no contention on any hand that the T United States could not put down revolu- tion in Mexico. if it had seen fit to send in an armed force to intervene between the insurg- ents. The administration at Washington has held it had no moral right to interfere. The merits of this starid have been thoroughly discussed, but the man who lives near Mexico can see no good in it. He lacks the perspective which the rest of the country enjoys, and he sees the starving Mexicans, the destitute Americans, the still wheels and cold hearths that the more remote American does not see. He thinks all these ills are directly due to President Wilson, and a mistaken policy: longingly to the time when I can end ' seen Mexico, who has no knowledge of the nature this war and can settle down on my St. Louis farm and raise horses. I love to train young colts and I will invite you all to visit me and take a hand jn the amusement. When old age comes on, and I get too feeble to move about, I expect to derive my chief pleasure from sitting in a big arm-chair in the center of a ring—a sort of training course—holding a colt’s leading line in my hand and watching him run around the ring.” The Bixby collection of letters re- veals that Grant held to this hope of ‘of the inhabitants of that country and who takes his advice from self-seeking advisors. And so, on false advice and faulty reasoning, he deliberately brings poverty on a people and paralysis on its iudustries. A third class, the bitterest of all, is actuated by the highest motive, and presents the case most dif- ficult to answer. These are the loyal, high-mind- ed American citizens, proud of their country, pa- 'triotic and sincere. They are for the most part old timers who long ago fought for the land on which they live, or the sons or grandsons of these men. These people love their flag, and they have passing his retirement on the St. | seen it subjected to the vilest abuse, they have More bitter against the President, even’ than Dg Bee $4 . ‘ . ‘oe ~~" $: Se , eee Ds RRO .

From a photograph made at Agua Prieta =» few weeks ago. The General was careful to pose so that the fact that his right arm had been shot away is concealed, day for Americans. There will be a lot of wiser Mexicans in Sonora.” Within ninety days 67 persons were shot in Naco, Ariz., by bullets fired across the line from Mexico. These were soldiers and civilians, men, women and children. Some of them died and some survived. From 1000 to 3000 American sol- diers were in camp at Naco all this time, but not one shot was fired back by them. The old-timer, whose religion is to answer shot for shot, cannot understand this. He has devoted many earnest years to instilling in the Mexican a proper appre- ciation of America, Americans and their twitch- ing trigger fingers. Now this man in Washington, (a‘ Democrat, too) spoils it all, and.makes them a leughing stock. NOBODY CAN CONVINCE THEM THAT MEXICANS CAN GOVERN THEMSELVES MERICANS on the border, who have lived A all their lives among Mexicans, are a unil in believing that Mexicans are incapable o’ self-government,’ because of ignorance and low mentality and false beliefs.

They believe it is the way to save Mexico from itself, to restore order and to re-establish a respect, for _ The recognition of Carranza has not improved his popularity along the border. He has not in- stilled confidence in the people, and the general belief is that as soon as he has finished off Villa, another rebellion will begin in some other quar- ter. He is not believed to have the iron hand nec- essary to hold Mexico straight. “Old Whiskers prances along the border, at- tending receptions, carefully avoiding any place there is any fighting,” said one, “and he thinks he is making himself popular. Why don’t he go on down to Mexico City and straighten things out there?” The border has no solution to offer of the Mex- ican problem save intervention. It assumes that the border ought to know Mexico better thar per- sons who have never seen either. It considers the situation hopeless now, and prays for a Roosevelt in Washington or a Diaz in Mexico City. CARRANZA NOT STRONG WITH PEOPLE WHO IDOLIZE OBREGON | LVARO OBREGON, Major-General and A Commander in Chief of the Carranza forces in Mexico, is the man of the hour in the southern republic. He is the idol of the army and the first hero of the volatile puyulace. He possibly does not know these things, although he strongly suspects them, and he would deny them with vigor. : It does not take Mexican popular opinion long to swing from one man {o another, but it is fervid while it lasts. When he had captured a cortain city in Mexico, Obregon was talking to a friend who had lived in the town throughout the war. “What is the sentiment here?” he asked. “Who do the people favor?” “A week ago,” the friend replied, “they were unanimously for Villa. Now you could comb the tewn from end to end and not find a man who was not an enthulastic Carranzista.” Obregon smiled and said: “A musical instrument answers the “and of the person who plays it, but it does no more quickly respond than do my people to the sway of the man of the hour.” Carranza, whom Obregon has been content to follow, has never been popular. There is nothing about him to excite the vivas of the populace. He is sort of oily, gives no great impression of earn- estness, is not reputed to have immense personal courage. This is a great matter in Mexico. Villa, whatever else he may be, is a man with- out fear, and to this his success in great part was due. He is of the loud, noisy sort, wears his big hat on the back of his head, indoors and out, and walks dauntlessly into the range of the thickest fire. Obregon is of the same high order of courage, without the accompanying press-agentry of p vse and glamor. He is quite fearless, without dash. He was a rancher in Southern Sonora before he turned soldier. Stories that he had been edu- eated abroad or at'a military school in Mexico City are wrong. He got the education a well-to-do Mexican boy could get at home. He did not join Viadero’s revolution at first, having his farms and his family to care for, and apparently having no political or military ambition. When Orozco de- serted Madero and turned against him, Obregon organized a band of his own workmen and took them to Madero. Since then he has followed the wars. 4 He has undoubted military talent, and is said to be the only General who, meeting Villa in the | never been re- . ; Vast Empire in Africa — ~ Germany’s Price of Peace, ° + es aes a i * ® a Re . € ae. te ? ee % * +. 3 * © - “” x we » Rey oa « ee ¥, oie: Observer Says Territorial Quarrels in Europe and Asia Are Secondary to Teutonic Desire for Colonial Expansion in the Dark Continent at Expense of the Allies—Chance of Her Realia® ing Bismarck’s Great Dream Remote.

With the annexation of the two Boer republics Germany was deprived of all immediate chance of including those Teutonic states in a German South Africa. She still preserved the hope that, using German West Africa as a base, she would be able in case of a war with Britain to stir up revolt in the Boer districts and thus bring the British colonial edifice in South Africa down in ruins. Faithful to tall sz j “2% = when Europe begins to consider peace, I purposely omitted any | detailed reference to African questions, which are sufficiently tm portant to deserve more detailed examination.

A vital point upon which all schoois of medicine seem to agree is that normal regularity of the bowels 's an essential to good health. The im. portanzte of this is impressed p:ir- ticularly on mothers of growing children. ' A very valuable remedy that should be kept in every home for use as nerasion arises is Dr. Caldwell'é Syrup Fepsin, a compound of sim- ple laxative herbs ‘that has been prescribed by Dr WB.

Thus there might be assured to Germany the entire wa- tershed of the Congo, the lakes at the head of the Nile system and a frontage on the Sahara at ita narrowest point, tshich might open the way to a Trans- Saharan railway from the Italian co] cny of Tripoli.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1L.-—If the com- ing social season fulfills its promise, it will be the gayest winter that Washing- ton has seen in several years. The num- ber of new arrivals and the numerous social affairs already planned indicate that the capital city will be one of the pleasantest places in which to spend the next few months. Although war complications will pre- vent any large general entertaining for the members of the diplomatic. corps, they will not be permitted to i nterrupt all social amenities between foreign rep- resentatives and the officials of the ad- ministration. With two diplomatic dinners to be giv- en at the White House and a reception in honor of the Pan-American frepre- sentatives, and numerous smaller din- to be given by the Secretary and Mrs. Lansing, the corps will be reason- ably gay. Recently Mr. and Mrs, Lan- sing entertained at dinner for Ambas- sador and Mme. Bahkmeteff of Russia and Ambassador and Viscountess Chinda of Japan. They have planned a series of dinners, so that the representatives of all the Powers will be entertained. The Counselor, Frank Polk, of the State Department, and Mrs. Polk will take a prominent part in the season’s entertaining, particularly that for the diplomats. *They have leased a hand- some residence adjoining the Spanish embassy and are rapidly becoming ac- quainted.

This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids’ dotel and Surgical Institute at Buf- falo, N. Y.

For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation—as back- ache, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply won- derful how surely ‘‘Anuric’’ acta.

Years afterwards, iooking back on the farming period, Grant wrote that he “managed to keep along well until 1858." He moved into the city because of a stubborn siege of fever and ague. He had suffered from this ailment at times from boyhood. Grant Hardships Exaggerated HE members of his family did not look on the farm life with the feeling of hardship. After eight years in the White House and the journey around the world, Mrs. Grant said: “Those were:happy days in the log house.” house at the time of the World's Fair dedication ceremonies. He went through the rooms, telling with emotion his recollections. He pointed to the room upstairs to the right of the middle door, where he and his little brothers slept. He described the long winter evenings when the Captain and Mrs. Grant sat with the children in a semi-circle in front of the blazing fireplace. He re- membered that, his father told him of }the campaign in Mexico. He had vivid recolléction of what: his father said of homesickness on the Pacific Coast, and of the great desire to get home and see wife and children. To the minas of the Grant family, there was none of that poverty which has been pictured by writers to helight- en the contrast with the fame that came later. There was plenty to eat. There was social life. The Captain and Mrs. Grant went out to the neighborhood gatherings; they had no light vehicle, but both were good riders; each took a child on the horse. Grant did not dance, but he played cards well. Check- ers was his favorite game. At the shooting matches in the noighborhood, the Captain held his own, and got the prize, a quarter of beef, about as often as any of the Sappingtons, the Longs and the Wright. After the war, Grant walked over the farm and said, “I moistened the ground around these stumps with many a drop of sweat, but they were happy days after all.’’ : Grant's desire to be independent of his father-in-law prompted him to un- usual efforts. He hauled split wood to St. Louis and sold ft. He worked up the branches and forks into props, such as the coal miners used in the drifts to support the roofs. In the southwest- ern suburbs of St. Louis were several coal mines. Grant hauled the props to these mines and got $5 a load. For the split wood hauled to the city he received $% a cord. Grant as a Wood Hauler SUALLY he had customers secured J in advance, but occasionally waited on the Twelfth street mar- ket, a stone’s throw from where his bronze figure now stands in City Hall Square, After he became \president, Grant looked back upon } wood hauling with no sense of humiliation. He re- membered some humo ous experiences. About the beginning of the first term in the White House, the Grants were en- tertained at the beautiful-home of the Blows in Carondelet. Old friends were nvited to meet them. After dinner the general suggested’ a walk about the grounds. As he led the way he showed keen ‘interest in recognizing surrounu- ings. He pointed where he had driven into the back yard to deliver wood. But what he dwelt upon was the location of a certain tree. He saw that on one of his trips, bringing cordwood, he had, with possible carelessness, let a hub of the wagon strike that tree and bark it. badly. The tree was a favorite of Mrs. Blow—one she had watched de- velop, of which she was proud. Before Grant could unload and get away, Mrs. Blow came out and saw the damage. Grant gmiled broadly as he told the party of friends that Mrs. Blow “gave me such a scoring as I never before or since have received from a woman.” Grant enjoyed thoroughly his farm living. He liked vegetables—corn, beans and others. The cucumber was one of his favorites. In the army he some- times made his breakfast on cucumbers and coffee, to the astonishmerit of his staff. Of meat he ate sparingly and only when done thoroughly. A rare steak was an abomination. Grant cared nothing for game; he never hunted. He would not touch poultry, saying he “nev- er could eat anything that goes on two legs.” He was fond of fruit, eating it slowly. At public dinners he let courses pass untouched. : No intoxicating Nquor was served at Grant's table in private or public life, in peace or in war, save only at the formal state dinners in the White House. During the war the Generali never had anything but coffee, tea and water on the mess table, and never of- fered liquor to visitors. At the beginning of the war St. Louis supplied the information on which the reports of Grarit’s dissipation were sent over the country.

REGULATION SIZE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALLS Fi pebbled le sher, canvas lined, complete with ‘gs ubber bladder and farm. Grand juries found many indict- ments, Trials and convictions followed. A relative of Mrs. Grant wrote 4 long letter to the President telling him vf the boasts that were being made that he would not let the indicted and con- victed suffer. This letter is in the Bixby collection with Grant's indorsement, ‘“‘Let no guilty man escape.”’ Throughout the summer of 1876 the in- vestigation went on. Indicted distillers, gaugers and storekeepers broke down and confessed. They implicated higher jofficials—Supervisors, Collectors of Inter- nal Revenue, special agents and Treas- ury officials at Washington. Day by day ‘‘the great whisky ring’’ was the leading news feature In the papers. Ureg- ent pressure was brought to bear on the President to retire from the Cabinet Secretary of the Treasury Bristow, who was pushing the prosecutions. In August an examination of telegraph files in Washington and 8t. Louis showed that messages had passed between the Pres- ident’s private secretary, Gen. E. O. Babcock, and the ring. Babcock was in- dicted. So great was the President's confidence.in his secretary that he re- fused to believe him guilty of complici- ty in the conspiracy and suspected that the action of Secretary Bristow was prompted by a desire to smirch the ad- ministration for political effect. Gen. Bristow was said to have presidentia! aspirations. On the Uth of September Grant came to St. Louls and remained four days. The next month he sent an order “‘to close out all his personal prop- erty, and rent or lease out the farm and give possession upon perfecting the lease.” This was done. Grant gave up his plan to retire to White Haven, and made his home in the East.

LONG-BURNING LAMPS immense popularity of Obregon must be having its effect on the mind of the First Chief. An example of Obregon’s political acu- men was seen at the Constitutional Con- vention. A member in a speech spoke slightingly of the Indians. Obregon, in a strong speech, took exception to this, defended them in civil and military life, and appeared much moved. This gained for him the good will and support of the Indian delegates (about 8 per cent of all Mexicans are part Indians) and spread wide the report that Obregon was largely Indian. As a mat- ter of fact, he is pure white, and, I be- lieve, partly Irish. There is an Irish cast to his eye and he has a sense of humor. A close friend of his believes his rame is a corruption of O’Brien. In appearance he is a handsome, plump, soldierly man of 37, good features, upturned mustache, clean and _ well groomed.

FL JAMES Jingles ARABELLA COUNTS THE DAYS. 168 ARABELLA SIMPKINS BROWN these days is always smiling; With never hint of fret or frown her manner’s most beguiling. You seem to hear the rustling sound of angels’ wings a-flutter, And when her gontle tones resound her words are soft as batter. She's there with Uncle Abner’s pipe whenever he would smoke it, And, when for such the time is ripe, the kitchen fire she’ll poke it. _ Whe dishes she will wipe and dry, a task that’s rather menial. - But now with bright and dancing eye she finds it most congenial She's kind and sweet to all the folks, and listens to their stories, And laughs at Cousin Charlie’s jokes, So gentle is her manner now she seems a fairy creature; Unruffled is her arching brow and bright her every feature. She’ll run to fetch a chair for Ma, and put a cushion in it, . And plan how she can serve her Pa through every waking minute. It’s ‘* Yes, sir’’ this and ‘‘Yes, Ma’am’’ that from dawn till night is falling, Which makes a music in that flat like angel voices calling. We asked Miss Arabella Brown why she was always smiling » And why she’d banished fret and frown to make her ways beguiling. A calendar was hanging near, she glanced at # demurely, We think we caught her meaning clear and solved the puzzle surely. So now we're not afraid to bet an island to an isthmus That Arabella Brown will get that set of furs for Christmas. her cheeks like morning glories. THE HANG RIVER FISHERMAN.

AVE you ever thought of living in the county as a means of | getting out of things in town? I confess I never had thought of it until] the other day, when, having ‘failed. to induce several people to stay in town for something, it sud- denly occurred to me why they live in the county. In that illumination everything became plain—the wide- spread and growing indifference to weather—the solitary home without possible recourse to neighbors—the association with hawks by day and owls by night. It had been pointed out to me from time to time that the automobile has made the difference between living in the county now and in time past, but I did not be- lieve it. Even an automobile does not make the county what might be pinch.

It is true that one’s friends and acquaintances get out much oftener in automobiles than they did in street cars and on suburban trains, but the county is the county, for all that. I see it now. Mr, and Mrs. Three-Miles-Beyond Webster would love to come in on Friday night, but it is impossible. They would not get home before long past midnight. Mr. Three has to have his sleep. His business makes great demands upon his energy, and he is going out very little. So that was it! Inextricably involved in a thousand and one little ways in town, they packed their household goods and moved to the county. That let them out. That placed them beyond the reach of all those well-meaning people who could levy upon them to fill in at bridge, or dinner, or use seats at the Symphony, étc., etc. I was for going out in the county my- self when I solved that puzzle. Like many a man who has already gone, | was for a single house on a side road —miles to the city—not another house in sight—chickens — cows — peace — quiet—and rest. When I thought of it I recalled that one could easily tell the difference between peuple who live in town and those who live in the county. Town people are sleepy and listless. County people are bright-eyed and alert. They sleep in the county. They have time to read, and to think. They have the better of us, and some day, as the Goths and Vandals did, they will come in and vet us. be Cm CLARK’S nominated by the Republican that Col. Roosevelt wiil National Convention next vear did not sound like much a few weeks ago, but as time goes on it begins to ‘ook more and more credible. The Re publicans have no one in their own ranks. Everybody is saying it, and it is so. Mr. Weeks, who is leading for prediction the nomination, is beaten before he starts. Mr. Root’s following doesn’t amount to a Corporal’s guard. Mr. Cummins is only a standing candiulate such as Dave Ball used to be in Mis- souri, Making a popular ido! of some one like Mr. Burton or Mr, Sherman is like trying to make a silk purse of a sow’s ear. Mr. Hadley quit. He can never come back. There remains ovly the redoubtable Colonel, just as Mr. Clark says. The Colonel has what none of the others has, and that is an issue.

There is, though, something in the Colonel’s attitude toward the Ad- ministration policies with respect to the European and Mexican wars, and there is something in what he is say- ing about a big army and navy.

If Fate of Young Woman. Is Known, the Family Has Chosen to Keep It Secret. RELATIVES IN MOURNING Mother and Brother Never Re- vealed What They Learned in Florence, Italy. By Leased Wire From the nal York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. ‘-NEW YORK, Dec, 11.—Five years ago tomorrow at @ half hour before noon, Dorothy Arnold, daughter of Francis R. Arnold, a wealthy importer of French and Russian perfumes, walked away from her parents’ home at 108 East Seventy-ninth street and vanished so completely that no detective in the world has been able to discover a clew to her whereabouts or her fate. “What happened to Derothy Arnold?” is @ question that has been asked in For answer such mén as William J. Fiynn, now head of the United States Secret Service; Sir EB. R. Henry, Chief of Scotland Yard; William J, Burns, lice Commissioner in “charge of the New York detectives; Joseph A. Faurot, pres- ent Chief of Detectives, and Lieut. Grant Williams, who, as the director of George S. Griscom “was the man in the | the New York Police Department’s Bu- reau of Missing Persons, has investi- gated thousands of strange disappear- ances, give the reply that they are at a loss for @ way to fathom the mystery. The Last Seen of Her. Dorothy Arnold was last seen, so far as is known to the police or other in- veatigators, at Fifth avenue and Thir- tieth street, on Monday, Dec. 12, 1910. The time was 3 o’clock in the afternoon or Ba few minutes eariier. She had walked from her home to Twenty-sixth street, where she spent a-short time in the Brentano #tore. She told her moth- er as she said “good-by’’ that morning that she intended to visit several Fifth avenue dressmakers in search of a suit and that she would telephone when she found something suitable. She neither | visited the stores nor telephoned. | The aged father of the missing girl, . who has spent many thousands of dol- lars to @earch é@very city in the world by wireless, cable, telegraph, telephone, answer to the query of Dorothy's fate a wide mourning band on his hat, a mourning necktie and « suit of black. “She ts dead,” he said yesterday to a reporter. “But where is her body?" is the first asked by trained investigators, heft her orgs he seldom if ever classi- éntified dead.

Kept Secret Over a Month. Like the public, Dorothy Arnold's un- cle and aunt got the first intimation of what had happened on the morning of Jan. 26, 1911, when the story of the dis- appearance appeared in all the newspa- pers of the leading cities of the United States and Europe. Deputy Police Com- missioner Flynn, now Chief of the Se- cret Service, on the day before told Ar nold that his detectives had to have the aid of the newspapers. The ‘“‘confiden- tial’’ search had failed. At the same time that the reporters were asked to aid the family word of Mrs. Arnold's visit to Florence and her meeting there with Griscom was kept a secret. “She is too sick to be seen,” was the only explanation offered: when reporters inquired for her. Two days later, however, it became known that case.”"" It then became «xnown that the young woman less than two months be- fore she left her family had been in Boston, where, according to the records of a loan company, she had obtained $60 for a quantity of jewelry that had been pawned.

I began taking Fruitola aad was relieved of @ great many gall-stones. My health is now fully restored.” Fruitola is a powerful lubricant for the intestinal organs and one dose is usually sufficient to give ample evidence of its efficacy. It is a great system cleanser. Following a dose of Fruitola, Traxo should be taken: three or four times a day in order to rebuild and restore the sys- tem that has been weakened and run down by constant suffering. It is a splendid tonic, acting on the liver and stomach most beneficially. Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello, Iil., and arrangements have been made to supply them through represent- ative druggists. “o., 6th St. and Washington Av. * £°r- a w- , a ’ ‘ Senatble . aera > i of A s Gifts Fo ‘.

SUPPLIES STORED AT PORTS Cotton, Wool, Copper and Wheat Cargoes for Interned Ships When Released. CHICAGO, Dec, 11.—Germany is mak- ing great purchases of copper, cotton, wool, lard, wheat, farm machinery and other products in the markets of the United States, according to: information received from fnany sources. The products are being bought subject to delivery in Germany ‘60 days after the war ends,” or ‘‘on order,” and will be paid for, it is believed, out of credit es...blished by the sale in this counfry of about $100, 000,000 worth of the German war loan bonds. With the exception of purchases of housed in close proximity to Atlantic ports, in which scores of interned Ger- man merchantmen are swinging at an- chor. In farm machinery circies there is an unauthenticated report that an order of small tractor engines, built for farm work, had been delivered actually on shipboard at Newport News and is now in the ‘hold of the boat awaiting trans- mission. Purchases Secretly Made. utmost secrecy by agents of the imperial Government. Negotiations. have been carried on under various guises. Much of the products has been bought ‘on margin,’’ which would involve big bank- ing loans. Summed up briefly the purchasing op- erations of the secret agents so far are reported to have been as follows: COPPER—Approximately 5,000,000 pounds, largely of electrolytic cop- per, have been bought on a 4cent margin, with the agreement to keep this margin under the market. Much _ of this has been bought around 138% to 19 cents. All of it is for delivery in Germany ‘60 days after the end of the war.”’ COTTON—Best .information is that 600,000 bales of this staple has been bought in the South, most of it in the vicinity of New, Orleans. Wool Purchases Equal Cotton. WOOL—Estimates vary greatly as to the number of pounds of wool thi.t have been warehoused. Upera- tions in that direction, however, are said not to have been as heavy as the “plunge” made in the cotton market LARD—Buying operations in lard have centered around Chicago for some time. Purchases have been made with caution until recently, when they became mors or less open. WHEAT—Purchases, while believed to run into the millions of bushels, are of uncertain extent. The opera- tions are on a cash basis. Grain transactions, as well as those in pro- visions, are being carried on through a large brokerage concern having Chicago and New York con- nections. ‘‘On sentiment’’ wheat has advanced 14 cents a bushel within the last ‘Seven days. Large purchases of corn also are reported. FARM MACHINERY.—Buying of farm machinery started in a small way about six months ago and has been gradually enlarged. it has been confined almost exclusively to small plants, particularly those making tractor engines of a size suitable for farm work. In some instances the entire output of plants has been contracted for. Large quantities of fa:f machines, as well as machine * parts, havo been shipped from the ‘ vicinity of Chicago and are now housed at the Eastern seaboard. Much Other Preduce, Besides the purchases enumerated, large quantities of other products which will be necéssary in the rehabilitation of war-racked Germany at the end of the destructive conflict have been bought and placed in warehouses pend- ing thipment orders. In the long list of products are many essential to man- ufacturers, and from which Germany has been cut off since the entente al- lies blockaded the seas. A prominent German bancer, who has been close to the affairs of the father- land since the beginning of the war and has assisted in the handling of the Ger- man war loans, when asked for verifi- cation of tnis information, said: “Tt ip a good ousiness proposition, ien’t it: When pressed for details regarding the extent of the buying, he declined to talk other than to say that * ‘purchases of copper ran closer to 60,000,000 pounds than 200,000,000 pounds.” Asked regarding the purchase of cot- wool and farm machinery, the banker replied that “Germany isn't over- looking any bargains” and ‘“‘the future must be taken care of." He said he had “heard” of purchases of lard, but knew nothing of the buying of farm machinery “except quite & bit which was purchased about six months ago." Credit From Big Loan, ‘How can Germany pay for the prod- ucts she buys here?” he was dsked. “Germany's credit isn't exhausted in the United States,"’ he answered. “You must remember that the loans she-has made here in the last year alone amount to approximately $100,000,000.""

She never had a child of her own; but there’s a thousand of them just as good as new around St. Louis that she could have for the asking.

But I can’t disconnect Christmas from the days of Auld Lang Syne.

Mary, 13, wants a piano and a party gown, a tennis outfit, some skates and some opera glasses, according to my figures, $828. Wil- lie, 11, wants a Boy Scout uniform and a dog. The uniform would cost $10 and the kind of dog he would pick out about 10 cents. Harry, 9, wants a kit of real tools, with a work bench and ‘enough boards to make things out of.’ Budget estimate, $50. Charlie, 7, has one longing so dominant that he can’t think of any other. It is for one roller skate, nailed to a board, ‘just like the other fel- lers.’ I think I could get one for a quarter, mak- “Why doesn’t he adopt a child and give her what she wants.” ing the total Dudget $5088.35. There isn’t an ele- ment of commercialism in any of the wishes. I wish I could gratify them all without a thought for their relative commercial rating.” “The costliest part of my collection came that way,” he confided to a close friend. “People just won't let me collect the works I want. They are forever making me accept prettier and more artistic things, muddling up my hobby until I hardly recognize it myself. I wish they’d send me pounds of coffee and cakes of soap—lI'm net at all fussy about what kind of soap I use. If same- body wanted to give me a real art present, though, I'd like to get a regular sculptor's outfit. I can’t sculp, and it wouldn’t be worth while to learn. But I could fix up a studio and make believe I was sculping, and get about the same kind of fun I used to get when I made-believe I was mak- ing a garden.” 4 <M it } LARGE-SALARIED factory manager who will probably receive hundreds of dollars’ worth of antiques, gold-headed canes and rare editions, wished somebody would think to give him a razor strop. “Tl have intended to buy one for two years,” he said, “but I never seem to get around to it. The one I have is badly slashed and I have to strop my razor in a six-inch area near the hand- piece. Is there anything so suggestive of luxury, anything that would so arouse one’s pride of ownership, as a perfectly good, unfurrowed ex- panse of black strop, with an artistic noose at ene end—why, i fairly dream about that strop. I . can imagine myself on Christmas morning an- packing the usual bundles of clocks and burnt leather collar cases, when suddenly out pops this longed-for razor strop! Of course, I know I won't get it, but even the dream is a luxury.” lt as vy OSH!” said his literary friend. “Do you feel that way? I haven't had a deéent shave since I moved, three years ago.

I thought for the moment, at least, that I asked the whole family— a father, mother, three daughters and a boy of 12.

“You have, of course, had this man followed,” the put in. “You have not let him leave this house “Caesar was after him before he left the garden gate— naterally. But"—— Weodhouse held up an interrupting hand. “Pardon me, Dr. Koch; did you get this fellow’s name?” “He refused to give it—said I wouldn't know him, anyway.” “Was he an undersized man, very thin, sparse bair, and a face showing dissipation?” Woodhouse went on. “Nervous, jerky way of talking—tfingers to his mouth, as jf tO feel his words as they come out—brandy or wine breath? Can’t you guess who he was?” “The target!” At the word Louisa had used in describing to Wood- house, Koch’s face underwent a change. He lowered his pistol. “Ach!” he said. “The man they are to arrest. And you have the number.” “That was Capper—Capper, formerly of the Belgian office—kicked out for drunkenness. One time he sold out Downing street in the matter of the Lord Fisher letters; you remember the scandal when they came to light—his majesty, the Kaiser's, Keil speech referring to them. He is a good stalking horse,” Koch’s suspicion had left him. Still gripping the auto- matic, he sat down on the edge of the operating chair, regarding the other man respectfully. “Come—come, Dr. Koch; you and I cannot continue longer at cross purposes.” The Captain spoke with terse displeasure. “This man Capper showed you noth- ing to preve his claims, yet you come back to this room and threaten my life on the strength of a drunk- ard’s bare word. What his mission is you know; how he got that number, which is the number I have shown you on my ticket from the Wilhelmstrasse—you under- stand how such things are managed. I happen to know, however, because it was my business to know, that Cap- per left Marseilles for Malta aboard the Le Vendee four days ago: he was not expected to go beyond Malta.” Koch caught him up: “But the fellow told me his boat didn’t stop at Malta—was warned by wireless to proceed at all speed to Alexandria, for fear of the Bres- lau, known to be in the Adriatic.”” Woodhouse spread out his hands with a gesture of finality. “There you are! Capper finds himself stranded in Alexandria, knows somehow of your position as a man of the Wilhelmstrasse—such things cannot be hid from the underground workers; comes here to explain himself to you and excuse himself for the loss of his number. Is there anything more to be said exeept that we must keep a close watch on him?” The physician rose and paced the room, his hands clasped behind his back. The automatic bobbed against the tails of his lomg coat as he walked. After a min- ute’s restless striding, he broke his step, before the desk, jerked open the drawer, and dropped the weapon into it. Back to where Woodhouse was sitting he stalked and held out his right hand stiffly. “Your pardon, Number Nineteen Thirty-two! For my suspicion I apologize. But, you see my position—a very delicate one.”” Woodhouse rose, grasped the doctor’s hand, and wrung it heartily. “And now,” he said, “to keep this fellow Capper in sight until the Princess Mary sails and I aboard her as Capt. Woodhouse of Wady Halfa. The man might trip us all up.” “He will not; be sure of that,” Koch growled, help- ing Woodhouse into his coat and leading the way to the folding doors. “I will have Caesar attend to him the minute he comes back to report where Capper is stopping.” “Until when?” the Captain asked, pausing at the gate, to which Koch had escorted him. “Here, tomorrow night at 9,” the doctor answered, and the gate shut behind him. Capt. Woodhouse, alone under the shadowing trees of Queen’s terrace, drew in a long breath, shook his shoulders and started for the sta- tion and the midnight train to Alexandria. CHAPTER V. A Ferret. ONSIDER the mental state of Mr. Billy Capper as he sank into a seat on the midnicht suburban ( : from Ramleh to Alexandria. Even to the guard, unused to particular observation of his passen- gers save as to their possible propensity for trying to beat their fares, the bundle of clothes surmounted by a rusty brown bowler which huddled under the sickly light of the second class carriage bespoke elther a can- didate for a plunge off the quay or a “bloomer” re- turning from his wassailing. But the eyes of the man denied this latter hypothesis; sanity in them, a}beit the merciless sanity that refuses an alternative when fate has its victim pushed into a corner. So submerged was Capper under the flood of his own bitter cogita- tions that he had not noticed the other two passengers boarding the train at the little tiled station—a tall, quietly dressed white .aan and a Numidian with a doak thrown over his white livery. The latter had faded like a shadow into the third-class carriage behind the one in which Capper rode. Here was Capper—poor old Hardluck Billy Capper— floored again, and just. when the tide of bad fortune was on the turn; so ran the®minor strain of self pity under the brown bowler. A failure once more, and through no fault of his own. No, no! Hadn’t he been ready to deliver the goods? Hadn't he come all the way down here from Berlin, faithful to his pledge to Louisa, the girl in the Wilhelmstrasse, ready and will- ing to embark on that important mission of which he was to be told by Dr. Emil Koch? And what happens? Koch turns him into the street like a dog: threatens to have him before the military as a spy if he doesn’t make himself scarce. Koch refuses even to admit he’d ever heard of the Wilhelmstrasse: Clever beggar! A jolly keen eye he’s got for his own skin; won't take a ehance on being betrayed into the hands of the En- glish, even when he ought to see that a chap’s honest when he comes and tells a straight story about losing that silly little bit of paper with his working number on SUNDAY MAGAZINE- ~-ST.

The doctor, believing Caesar to be a competent judge, chuckled in his beard. Caesar was called off from the trail. Across the street from Dr. Koch’s home on Queen’s Terrace was the summer home of a Major of fusileers, whose station was up.the Nile. But this summer it was not occupied. The Major had hurried his family back to England at the first mutterings of the great war, and he himself had to stick by his regiment up in the doubt- ful Sudan country. Like Dr. Koch's place, the Major’s yard was surrounded by a high wall, over which the fronds of big palms and flowered shrubs draped them- selves. The nearest villa, aside from Kochs’, across the street, was a hundred yards away. At sight an arc light, set about thirty feet from Dr. Koch’s gate, marked all the road thereabouts with sharp blocks of light and shadow. One lying close atop the wall about the Ma- jor’s yard, screened by the palms and the heavy branches of some night-blooming ghost flower, could command talking to himself as much as to Woodhouse. “A sweet little product of the Niam Niam country down In Belgian Congo. Natives think no more of it than they would of a water fly's bite; “at the white man is”—— “A virus of some kind?” the other guessed. “Of my own isolation,” Dr. Koch answered proudly. He scraped the skin on the victim's arm untfl the blood came, then dipped an ivory spatula into the tube of murky gelatine and transferred what it brought up to the raw place in the flesh. “The action is very quick and may be violent,” he continued. “Our friend here won't recover ess for three days, and he will be unable to stand on his feet for two weeks, at least—dizsiness, interniittent fever, clouded memory; he'll be pretty sick.” “But not too sick to communicate with others,” Wood- house suggested. “Surely”—— “Maybe not too sick, but unable to communicate with others,’ Dr. Koch interrupted with a booming laugh. “This time tomorrow night our friend will be well out on the Libyan desert, with some ungentle Bedouins for way home without money. Who knows? months.” Very deftly Koch bound up the abrasion on the En- glishman’s arm with gauze, explaisiing as he worked — that the man’s desert’ guardians would have instri& a perfect view of Dr. Koch's gateway without being himeelf visible.

Woodhouse - had risen from his seat. A shrewd appraising glance it was, which was not lost on Woodhouse. He stepped for- ward to join the physician by the side of the figure on the operating chair.

The town was illuminated by cal- cium light bombs, which enabled us to keep everlast- ingly upon the heels of the foe. “The streets in other parts of the town were raked with our deadly artillery fire. Wherever the Germans were caught in the open streets they were annihilated. In places we found their bodies lying three or four deep. The: bodies of the dead Germans were used by each side as barricades from which to fight. We succeeded in driv- ing the enemy out of St. Eloi, and they left thousands of their dead on the streets. “It should be understood that a soldier in battle knows only what is happening in his immediate neighborhood. When a battlefield stretches over miles of front, the indi- vidual knows what is going on over a few hundred yards only. I know that the losses were heavy on both sides in the battle of St. Eloi, but I have no idea how many men were killed and wounded. “Aftor the: battle I went back to Vermicelle for an- other rest. : “My work was of a routine nature until the latter part of February. I would do my turn in the trenches, and then-take a few days off to recuperate. Our Princess Patricia regiment had suffered heavily by a German sap, which had been driven so near to our lines that our artillery could not reach it- It was a zigzag trench ftom which the enemy showered hand grenades upon us. We -had no hand grenades to counter with and consequently it was decided that we should bave to capture and de- stroy the sap. Under eover of a machine gun fire, our men: crept out of their- own trenches, at night, and fell upon the surprised Germans. Every German, about forty in all, was killed, as they refused to surrender. “A few days later I made my last visit to these trenches. As I was taking my leave my Colonel, a brave man named Farquahar, was shot in the stomach. He died an hour later. From St. Eloi I went to Poperhinge in Belgium for 10 days, while our forces were being reorgan- ized. This was early in March, and it was the first rea! rest I had had since I reached the front, about the mid- die of December. I had seen a lot of war in a little over two months,.and notwithstanding the hardships, I had enjoyed every hour of it. . My position was different from that of most of my comrades: They were fighting trenches had been sur- prised by a mine attack and a force of Germans in’ Scotch kilts. By means of this déception the Germans were able to get into our trenches before the British real- ized the mistake, and the Germans drove the Brit- sss troops out. ““We were not able to i oa definite information as to what actually. hap- pened. The General in command of our brigade said he would go to the front and find out what had four regiments of 1100 men each. The rifle brigade went out first, and ran into a nest. of

' “I next proceeded, in early March, to Ypres— bloody Ypres, where the Germans were soon to hurl the full power of their forces against us in ~~ an effort to break through our lines and open the . | way t6 Calais. I took my first turn in the trenches in the Polygon wood. The. trenches here were entirely different from those in the vicinity of St. Eloi. Around St. Eloi the trenches were entirely in the open, and we could enter and * leave them only under cover of darkness. - Here they had the protection of the woods, and by means of communicating trenches we were able to enter” and leave in small parties in the day time. Of course large parties, bringing up rations, always worked at’ night. : “My first experience with the Zeppelins was .at Viamertinge, Belgium, three miles.from Ypres. We were encamped in huts here, awaiting: our turn in .the trenches. Between 11 p. m. and midnight we were dis- turbed by an incessant humming, which appéared to be high in the air. Word flew through the camp that we were about to be attacked by Zeppelins or a fleet of aero- . planes. It is not a comfortable feeling to know that a heavy bomb may be dropped down upon you, and teat: you are not going to have any chance. to defend yourself against the unseen aerial enemy: “Suddenly we heard a terrific ex- plosion, which seemed to emanate from the very center of our camp. From my hut I could see the faint outlines of a huge Zeppelin, high in the air above our camp. It had pounds each, and they had fallen in - the middle of our parade ground— the only spot for miles around where they could have done no damage. Not a soul was hurt. “IT had always contended that. a Zep- pelin was blind, and was therefore useless for military purposes. This experience demonstrated it to my own satisfaction. The next morning we went out and saw the holes. They were 25 feet deep and 35 in diameter. “On my next visit to the trenches, I was to see the effects of the German 17-inch guns, ‘with which|the enemy opened the bombardment for the sec- ond great battle of Ypres. “For three days. they kept up a- bombardment .with these _ terrible weapons. . With . Qnfailing regularity an 1800-pound shell would be hurled into the town every 15 minutes. Four- story buildings, struck by these big shells, crumpled into ruins like houses of cards: The shell explosions tore holes 40 feet deep and 50 feet in diameter. Duting the three days’ bombardment our barracks were destroyed, and it was decided -that we should be removed to the field, - preparatory to going into the G a trenches. Here is where I-was to see hell turned | ose with all of its fury. As we started across the field, the heavy guns on both sides opened up. The British guns were fired in batteries of four, as rapidly as the gunners could load and unload. The noise was terrific. I had never heard anything like it. We could hear the “swifish,” “swifish,” “swifish,” of shells through the air. The air was literally filled with these hissing engines of death—British and German shells crossing each other above our heads. “In the din and the roar, with shells bursting above us and around us, the heavens lighted up with flames ema- nating from death-dealing bombs, we rushed pell-mell . across the fields to our trenches. My brigade got through without the loss of a man, but it was the only one. that had such good fortune. We took up our post 75 yards away from the German trenches, where we were protect- ed from the German continuous artillery fire.

One of the men shouted: " “This place has been raided. Everyone here is under arrest. No one can leave.” : . Panic broke out. Several of the women customers and three of the stenographers fainted.

He said that he and a former engraver in the United States Treasury Depart- ment at Washington were living in a houseboat near Carondelet; that his companion had been engaged in manufacturing the bogus banknotes and that he (the informant) had been circulating them throughout the city. _He had become conscience-stricken, he declared, and had decided to tell the whole story and take his punishment. His tale was thoroughly plausible and was told with a wealth of detail that convinced his hear- ers that he was telling the truth. : After the narrative was compléted the young man’s face took om a look of agony. He clasped his hands to his stomach and writhed as if in great pain. He ex- plained that he was subject to cramps and the officials had him removed to a city dispensary, still apparently undergoing intense suffering. Physicians there admin- istered several injections of morphine and the patient rapidly recovered. When the drug had thoroughly permeated his system, the man’s whole demeanor changed. He seemed to be ecstatically happy. Then he made another confession. more startling than the first. He said that for six years he had been a morphine addict, that since the stringent Harrison law had gone into effect he had been unable to obtain a supply and that the entire story he had told the Federal officials was a pure fab- rication, invented in a last desperate effort to obtain a “shot” of that which his body craved with such an in- tensity that all scruples were swept aside. This is but one illustration of the lengths to which drug addicts have gone, of the lies they have told, tricks they have attempted and subterfuges they have planned to get ‘heir “dope” since the new drug law be- came effective, : - PeRee : an OE s Do t ae the notice of the federal officials, where will power alone was the instrument of redemption when the hap- less victim realized that his drug-sodden wits were no match for those of the keen-minded men charged with the law’s enforcement. A few weeks after the lid was clamped down on the sale of narcotics there came to the office of the revenue officials a woman who is a graduate pharmacist, mar- March 1. They found to their con- sternation that the law was rigidly . enforced from the . day it was in force, | thet it previded ments that few druggists or phy- aiclans had the temerity te expert- ment as to whether or not it could be made elastic. The supply was cut off as suddenly as if the victims had been placed on a desert island. The Harrison law prohibits all per- sons from sellimg or giving away habit- forming drugs without a physi- eian’s prescription or under the direct instruction of a physician. The penalty for vicla- tion is a fine of not more than $2000 or imprisonment for not moré than five years or both. That Skee s ae YY ee WA AX | ried, member of an aristocratic family and strikingly beautiful. For four years, unknown to ber husband, she had been taking aa average of 20 grains ef morphine a day. She registered as a phar- macist, but it was discovered that she was playing a trick and she was given the option of taking tite cure or being prosecuted. She re- fused to be treated, fearing that her secret would become known and bring disgrace upon her hus- band and famély. That night the women went home and told her husband that she was going to visit a sister, who —— lives in a country town in Mis- — souri. She departed and went to her sister’s home, but instead of re- maining there, proceeded inte one of the wildest sections of the State, far from human habitation. She arranged to semd letters for her husband to the sister, who in turn would post them im her town.

The druggist agreed to do so, ff the man would allow him to administer it. Willing to do anything to insure a continuance of his daily portion, the man acquiesced. Thereafter, every morning, the man appeared at the druggist’s store, went behind the prescription case an’| received his “shdét.” But unknown to him the druggist was reducing the morphine tmjection at the rate of a quarter of a grain a day and substituting for the amoan* withheld the same amount of quinine.

He was picked up by the police on Morgan street and confessed that while he was an addict himself, he also made a handsome profit by buying $1 worth of morphine and selling half of it for $1 to some ether unfortunate.
