Re eren Press LONDON, Dec. 18.— The unprecedented military situation in Greece has devel- oped a new crisis. The allied troops which. according to the estimates of British newspapers number 200,000, are fortifying themselves about Saloniki, cigging trenches and placing guns. It Communication, Which Will Go Forward 9 Vienna Early Next Week, Will State Clearly” Alternative That Will Follow Refusal aes is reported the Germans are preparing to advance into Greek territory to at- tack them. Dispatches from Saloniki today say entente troops and munitions continue to arrive there. Officers of the allies are advertising in the Saloniki news- papers for men to work on the fortifi- cetion and are employing all Servians not subjected to military service in the ermy. It is expected that complete control of the railways at Saloniki will be taken over by the entente forces to- inorrow. Big Guns Reach Bulgaria. Dispatches received by the entente officers at Saloniki report the arrival ut Sofia of eight batteries. each made up of three 7%-inch guns, which are bound for Saloniki. Whether the Bulgarians will cross the border is a vital question to the Grecks. It is believed a Bulgarian advance would rekindle “old eriities and might draw the Greek people into the conflict. The Greek general election will be held tomorrow, but it is not expected the result will have any controlling in- fluence on the policy of the Government. The party of former Premier Venizelos has refrained from putting candidates into the field and the soldiers under arms, constituting a large proportion of the electorate, will not vote. King Con- stantine remains indisposed. According to the Athens correspondent of the Times the German Minister at Athens told Premier Skouloudis the Ger- mans would be compelled to attack the a Post-Dispatch reporter today that he had been notified that he could not get any more seasoned willow for several weeks. He said a contract for the mak- ing of 150 legs a month had been of- fered him, and that he had been obliged to withhold acceptance because of this lack of material. Experiments are being made, he said. in artificial methods of seasoning the willow. The old method was to season the wood by air drying for a year. If it is found that the seasoning can be done in a few days by artificial heat and electrically stimulated breezes, the busi- ness can be resumed on as large a scale as the limited number of skilled workers will permit. The willow wood is hand-carved into legs, a skilled workman requiring nine days to make a first-class leg. The cost is mostly for workmanship, the cost of the wood for each leg being about $3.50. The finished product sells as high as 3250. CARD PLAYING IS PROHIBITED ON THE GOOD SHIP OSCAR II Attempt at Curfew Regulation Faiis Espionage System on Ford Peace Ark L°ke That of Germany. LONDON, Dec. 18.— The executive committee of Ford’s peace party has prohibitetd card playing on board,” says a wireless dispatch from Kirkwall to the Daily Express, but the attempt to establish a curfew regulation ied to such vigorous protests that it had to be cn $1500 bond signed by John Strobel, a grocer, of 2533 South Broadway, his father-in-law, and approved by Judge Clark. Conway was in the employ of Strobel. He told- policemen the boy suddenly darted from the sidewalk and tan into the truck. He was driving south on the west side of Seventh stre-t at the time. He said the truck was moving slowly, and that he stopped 1 within about five feet after the bey was hit. He took the boy to a near-by doctor’s office. Mrs. Annie Jansen, the mother, said Elmer left home at 8 o'clock to pay his usual Saturday morning visit to his grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Jansen of 2416 Bismarck street. The Jansens have two other children, Irene, 6 years ol, and Mildred, 7 months old. PRESIDENT SHOWS CLEMENCY ON THE DAY OF HIS WEDDING * Pardons One, Commutes Sentences of Twe Others; Signs Orders Giving Federal Jobs to Women. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The Presi- dent celebrated his wedding day by extending executive clemency to sev- eral convicts. He gave a full pardon to Charles Conture, convicted at Mis- soula, Mont., for selling liquor to In- dians. He commuted the sentences of D. L. Dillingham, convicted in Geor- gia for operating an illicit distillery, and William H. Hood, under convic- tion of robbery in Alabama. The subpena given Dyer was served upon him yesterday as he was enter- ing a Ford runabout that had been standing in front of the Mechanics- American Bank. Dyer told a Post- Dispatch reporter that Henri Chou- teau hal called upon him on Dec. 3 and asked him if he would buy the car. Chotiteau said that he had owned the car for two years and agreed to accept $200 for the auto in case he did not obtain a loan upon the car. Dyer said upon the morning of Dec. 6, when Chouteau left St. Louis, he found the car standing in front of his residence. He said he understood by this that Chouteau had delivered the car according to agreement and that he intended to use it at his country place in Jefferson County. The subpena served upon Dyer is in- tended to force a proof of the ownership of the auto so that it may be attached in case it is found that the car is the property of Chouteau. An attachment against the car, as Chouteau's property, is already on file. Betts said today that he had talked Wien members of the Stock Exchange regaiding the filing of a claim against the £2700 Chouteau received for the sale of his seat to Lorenzo E. Anderson. It is te rule of the Stock Exchange that a member shall have a prior claim to other creditors against any outside per- son. Betts said that he had not decided as yet whether or not to file a claim. He would not say to what extent Chouteau is indebted to him to make such a claim RNG (RESIGNATION OF — 2 GUESTS GATHERING FOR PRESIDENT’S WEDDING TONIGHT Hour Is Kept Secret, but Execu- tive Will Dine With His Fam- ily First.

The only public statement that has come from Chouteau was the following letter he sent from Anniston, Ala., to the Globe-Democrat, which was pub- lished this morning: ‘Your paper of Sunday, Dec. 12, has just come to my attention. I do not see how you came to the conclusion the arti- cle implies. My interest in public utili- ties has always caused me to be away a great deal of my time. „J regret that my transactions with Mr. Wm. C. Milford did not turn out profitable.

Yours, very truly, “HENRI CHOUTEAU,” “General Delivery, Aniston, Ala.“ Countersign for Callers. An amusing anecdote concerning Chou- teau was related to a Post-Dispatch cor- respondent today at Pine luff, Ark., by A. Brewster, 4 director of the $500,000 Seven Cities Company, which Chouteau promoted and of which he was president until recently, when the Brewster family foreclosed on his $80,- 000 note. Brewster said he was in St. Louis re- cently and noticed that Chouteau’s ex- pensive suite of three offices had dwin- died to one room. „Busted? Brewster asked. “No, but badly bent,” Brewster said Chouteau replied. Brewster said that Chouteau's sten- ographer held off persons who wanted to see Chouteau on business and that before Brewster left Chouteau gave him a special signal to use when knocking on his door. Brewster also told how Chouteau tried to promote a half-million dollar pubiie utility corporation on a “shoe-string” and failed. Two years ago, he said, he and Garland Brewster sold the Russell- ville (Ark) Water and Light Plant to Chouteau for $240,000. Chovteau gave them his note for $100,000 and paid them 395.000, partly in cash and partly in bonds. He said Chouteau announced that he expected to make the other payments by selling bends in the com- pany at $1000 each. to St. la 1 = a Columa 5, Inel are not willing to state een canal will be opened to traffic. . tended at noon the christening of Ellen Wilson McAdoo, daughter of Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo and the President's only granddaughter.

The Imperial and Royal Gevernment finds in the much-es- te@med note no indication whatever of the intention with which this ref- erence was made. Should, however, the Government of the United States thereby have intended to express an épitiion to the effect that a preju- dine of whatever nature existed for the Imperial and Royal Government with respect to the judicial consider- ation of the affair in question, this Government must, in order to pre- clude possible misunderstandings, de- clare that, as a matter of course, it reserves to itself freedom of main- taining its own legal views in the digcussion of the case of the Ancona. In having the honor to have recourse to the kindness of his exeellency, the Ambassador of the United States of America, with the most respectful request to be good enough to communicate the foregoing to the American Goy- erpment and on this occasion to state that the Imperial and Royal Government in no less degree than the American Government and under all circumstances, most sincerely deplores the fate of the innocent victims of the incident in. question, the undersigned at the same time avails himself of this opportunity to renew the ex- pression of his most distinguished eonsideration to his excellence. the Ambassador.

HE genealogical tree of Mrs. Edith a i Bolling Galt, who is to be the new mistress of the White House, dates not only to the Pocahontas In- dian Princess of 1617, but to the ances- tral BoWing estates in Yorkshire, En- gland, of the thirteenth century. Pocahontas, daughter of the famous Indian chief Powhattan, born in 16596, married April 5, 1613. in Jamestown, Va., as second wife, John Rolfe, of an old Norfolk family, who “was baptized at Heacham, Norfolk, England, on 6 May, 1585.“ Their only child, Thomas, was born in 1615, in Jamestown, Va. John Rolfe and Pocahontas, with their baby boy, arrived in Plymouth, En- giand, from Virginia, in the ship George, June 12, 1616. Various early writers de- scribe the reception accorded Pocahon- tas, her presentation at court, her pres- ence at the Globe Theater when the Tempest was played, the ball given by the Bishop of London, the Twelfth Night masque, and the final act in the drama of this young life, “which was so short and yet long enough to unite two hemispheres, two races, two civili- zations.”’ St. George Parish Eatry. Early in March of the following year Pocahontas died in Gravesend, as she was preparing to return to Virginia. The entry in St. George's Parish record reads: “1617, Mar. 21, Rebecca Wrolfe, wyffe of Thos. Wrolfe, gent., a Virginia lady borne, here lies buried in ye chancelle. Her son Thomas, after his mothers death, was brought up by his uncle, Henry Rolfe of London. He returned to Virginia in 1641. Thomas Rolfe, son of Pocahontas, who married in 1633 Jane Poythress, daugh- ter of Capt. Francis Poythress of Vir- ginia, had two children, a son and 1 daughter Jane, who married Col. Rob- ert Bolling in 1675, and from this union came the numerous Bolling descendants, including the fiancee of the President. It is worthy of record to note that Gen. William Henry Fitzhugh Lee, of th Confederate States army, a son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, married after the war a beautiful descendant of Pocahontas, Miss Tabb Bolling of Petersburg. The House of Belling. The Bollings, or Bollyngs, are first noted as of Bolling in Yorkshire, Bu- gland, in the thirteenth century. in the year 1296, William de Bolling is de- scribed as holding three carucates of land in Bolling, and shortly afterwards he was described as lord of the manor, which his descendants held for several centuries, and two of them gave com- mon of pasture and a grant of land in Bolling to Kirtstall Abbey. Part of this land is supposed to be the site of Bur- nett Field. There is also evidence of land in ol- ling having been granted to Kirkstall Abbey as early as the reign of King John. In the ancient Parliamentary Writs are found the following entries: “William de Bolling certified, pursu .at to writ tested at Clepstone, 5th Mar>n, 1816, as Lord of the township of Bolling in the County of York. “Johannes de Bolling, one of the Com- missioners of Array, in the Wapentake of Mortey, in the County of York.

He was @ man of great courage and was most loyal to the Lancastrian party, so much so that he appears to have idolized Henry VI. In his behalf he fought alongside his father at Towton, but, be- ing young, escaped further consequences than the disastrous defeat of his party. He died at Chellow, near Manningham. His son Edward succeeded him to the * = obliged to return to Paris to organize the operation which ended in the great triumph at Wagram a year later. In Spain he left, or subsequently sent there, Massena, Marmont, Soult and other less distinguished generals and marshals. It fell to the part of Soult to operate against the British and he took the field against Sir John Moore, whose little army had crossed the Spanish boundary. By rapid retreat Sir John Moore reached he coast at Corunna and saved his army by putting them on transports: He was killed in the operation. The. result of this campaign was to leave the French masters of Spain save only for Cadiz and Gibraltar. There remained in Portugal only a small British army near Lisbon. But at this point Soult failed to act with promptitude, possibly, as some ristorians allege, because he was negotiating for the Portuguese crown. In consequence, the British had time to reorganize and Wellington returned to command the ermy he had headed against Junot. De- feating Soult at Talavera, he pushed him out of Portugal and entered Spain. New Trees Seat to Spain. But Napoleon had now won Wagram and was able to send new troops to Spain. His great Marshal, Massena, hastened south, organized a great drive, tefore which Wellington had to retreat, as the Anglo-British expedition is now retreating. Driven out of Spain, Wel- ungton finally took up his position be- fore Lisbon, on the narrow peninsula between the Tagus and the sea, a po- sition strongly recalling the Chetalja lines before Constantinople. Here Mas- sena was checked, and after wasting many months before these lines, which could not be stormed, he retired into Spain. Subsequently, as the Myscow campaign developed, Napoleon was com- pelled to recall troops from Spain, and as his Spanish armies decreased tn num- bers the British took the offensive and began the campaign which ended with the battle of Toulouse in France, a bat- tle fought after Napoleon had abdicated When the British returned to Spain the whole country rose in rebeilion against the French and Napoleon was confronted by the first of thé several national uprisings which ruined him. Now it is perfectly clear that what the British and French have in mind at present is to turn Seloniki into another Lisbon and the hills before and the narrow Calcedic peninsula into a séc- end Torres Vedras. The Germans on their side are seeking to drive the enemy out of the peninsula and repeat Soult’s exploit at Corunna and Mas- nas blundering. if the allies can keep their foothold ir the Balkans they will compel the Germans to keep an army in front of them. It is possible that the Bulgars may bear the brunt of the fighting for the moment; but Bulgar numbers are limited and there is grave danger that Greek national apprehensions may be roused by long continued occupation of Greek soil by the heriditary enemy. If fortune begins to 80 against the Ger- trans, if they have to draw off troops to face the Russians or the French, if there is an allied army in the Balkans ‘tt is possible that there may be a chane in the situation. Bulgaria may shift sides, Greece may enlist. Daagers Facing Germans, What must be recognised its that the Germans are faced with the same dan- gers that finally destroyed Napoleon. ‘lhey occupy an enormous area of con- guered territory in Russia, in Servia, in 5 3 l if f 2 az FEE fh 8 f Peninsula 1 1 > 1 is no point at which the allies one harbor that offers a base for large fleets and has any measure of docking facilities. It is the center of the three great railroads, too, which must play an reek territory can be evacuated, Bul- Saria can garrison Servia and some hun- dreds of thousands of Germans and Aus- trians will be released for service else- where. The whole military faith of the allies ig expressed in the belief that the Ger- An resources in men and money are beginning to fan and that im some months it ls going to be difficult for the Germans to find number @ufficient to hold an the fronts. Then the German wave will begin to recede ag the Napo- leonie after. „Superior numbers will tell the story, and a recession at any point wil release subject popula- tions, for Gerniany is now inside hostile boundaries on all sides. Belgium, Po- land, Servia will rise to any German withdrawal, as did Spain and Prussia * century ago. Greece and Rumania will probably enlist, if German defeat seems to be assured by any considerable ret- rograde movement. In the present phase of the great war it is essential to recall the Napoleonic parallels because Germany seems now 80 far as anyone can judge, quite in the position of France when the Emperor had won his greatest triumphs and wae already beginning to suffer from the gradual decline in the material of his armies and France was slowly beginning to manifest a weariness of war which no field glories could quite satiafy, Thie lo what makes the Saloniki episode of ut- most interest to the whole world, With all the failure of the allies in this field up to the present moment there is noth- ing that makes their position more des- perate than that of the British in Portu- gal io 1800 and 1810, and there is much in Europe that suggests that they may be able to repeat the exploits of Wel- Ungton, if they find another Wellington and succeed in holding on at Saloniki.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Paul Koenig, head of the Bureau of Investigation of the Hamburg-American line, and Rich- avd Umil Leyendecker, a New York art retailer, were held in $580,000 an- £20,000 bail, respectively, today by United States Commissioner Houghton on a charge of conspiring to blow up the Welland Canal. The hearing was set for Jan. 12. Counsel for Koenig and Leyendecker fourtit hard for a reduction of the ball asked by the Government. In insist- ing on the higher bond, Assistant Uniteu States Attorney Wood, said: “The amount is not too large. The people back of these men can put up any amount of money that is needed.” Commissioner Houghton said: “I 40 not regard the amount of bail asked by the District Attorney Countries are at each and we are trying our tral. The Government is spending a great deal of money to prevent just such actions as are complained of here. If these should leave the country, the forfeiture of the bail might prevent other men coming here to foment Plots. The specific offense charged against Koenig and Leyendecker is conspiring to send a military expedition from this country against a friendly nation. The penalty on conviction is three years’ imprisonment and a fine of $6000. Koenig“ Stenograpkher Held. rrederick Metzler, emploved by the Hamburg-American Line, and said to have acted as stenographer for Koenig. who was also arrested with Koenig and Leyendecker, will be arraigned Monday. Wederal Authorities stated this after- noon that Metzler had made a statement ‘mn which he gave important information in connéttion with the Welland Canal plot. It was learned at the Federal Building that agents of the Hamburg- American Line had made several unsuc- Cessful attempts tu have Metzler re- leased on ball. Assistant United States Attorney Sar- faty said that informatign in posses- sion of the Government made it almost certain that numerous additional ar- rests will be made throughout the coun- try in the next few days. All of these, he said, will be in connection with the Welland Canal plot. Another arrest, made today, was that of Frederick 8. Schieindt, a clerk in the National City Bank who is accused of stealing documents, cablegramse ald other messages and turning them over to representatives of the German Gov- ernment. it ts declared that this ir- formation had to do with ships bearing aimmunition across the seas.

The precise details of the allet ed plot were withheld by the Federal authorities, but it is understood that Koenig and Lyendecker had em- ployed spies who went out from Buffalo and Niagara Falls to photograph the canal, prepare plans and make arrange- ments for blowing up the waterway at its most important point and that nitro- giycerin was to be used as the ex- plosive. Koenig and Lyendecker were in Buf- falo about four days, according to the authorities and returned to New York with the execution of the alleged plot left in the hands of their agents. So far as is known by the Department of Justie- they had not abandoned the carrying out of the plot when the ar- rests took place. The Welland canal connects Lakes Erie and Ontario, extending a distance of 2. miles from Port Colborne to Port Dalhousie. It is the route which vessels take from Chicago and other great lakes ports to reach the St. Lawrence River. Grain shipments from these ports are thus transported to Europe. Had ie canal been destroyed, it would have compelled the shipments to be carried to the Atlantic Coast by rail before they could have been loaded on vessels. The canal has been constantly pa- trolled by Canadian soldiers since the war broke out. Watched for a Year. The three defendants, it was learned today, have been under surveillance for a year. The names of worxers in San Fran- cisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Bosto and other cities are said to have been “alecovered among documents seized by the authorities in a raid upon the offices of Koenig and Lyendecker. Maps and diagrams, which were among the things found in Koenig's office and ut his home, show that considerable time had been given to preparations for the use of explosives. It is not charged by the Government that Koenig and Leyendecker planned to do the actual work of ruining the Welland canal, for Koenig, at least, is regarded eas oo ywwerful a directive genius tv have acted except through aeents.

Morris Van Raalte, 63 years oid, of 417 West Pine boulevard, a department manager at the S. Van Raalte Jewelry and Loan Co., 410 North Seventh street, was shot at 6:30 last night in an alley near his home by one of two highway- men who fired when Van Raalte, refus- ing to heea their commands to hold up his hands, started running toward his home. The bullet passed through the flesh of his right shoulder. Van Raalte left a Leclede car at a private walk at 4215 Laclede avenue. This walk leads directly to his home. At the crossing of an alley between La- clede avenue and West Pine boulevard, two men with revolvers stepped from a shadow of a fence and commanded Van Raalte to throw up his hands. Van Raalte started running. Three shots were fired, but only one of them struck him. Physicians who attended- him said the injury might prove serious because of his age. Van Raalte had a diamond stud, 1 diamond ring and a watch, which he said he valued at $300, and $2 in moncy. rie said the robbers were from % to 30 years of age, wore black overcoats and black soft hats, but did not wear marks.

Special Cable to the Post- Dispatch and d the New York World. yright. * 1 Press Pub, Co.) LON YON, Dec. “America is a rot- ten place, a — hole, no place for 4 gentleman to live in, and the people are rotten.” That is the way Anthony Joseph Drex- el, once of Philadelphia, described his native country to his wife's sister, Mme, Anne de St. Cyr (formerly Mrs. James Henry Smith and previously Mrs. WII- liam Rhinelander, according to her affi- davit filed in the Chancery Court here. It was produced in opposition to Mr. Drexel’s motion denying the jurisdiction of an English court to which his wife had applied to compel him to resume monthly payment of $50,000 a year all- mony under their deed of separation, disregarded since last August in antici- pation, it is alleged, of institution of di- vorce proceedings in Paris, where. he claims residence now. He also intimates that he shall ac- quire French citizenship, although, ac- coraing to Mme. de St. Cyr's testimony, he said to her: “I love English and En- glish standards.“ Other depositions sub- mitted to the Court quote him as sim- Uarly expressing hatred of America and her people. His own idea of his cosmopolitan stat- us he recorded in a deposition thus: By birt: I am an American citizen. I have never been naturalized in Great Brit- ain. I have been for a good many years a resident in London, but I have had for some years and still have a res- idence in Paris and another in Ven- ice. I have never intended to acquire nor have I, as I verily welleve, ever in fact, acquired an English domicile.” What Mrs. Drexel Says. Mrs. Drexei aeposed: “In the summer of 1899 my husband told me he had made uy his mind to live in England and not return to American; he has gone on an average once a year to America on busi- ness connected with his father’s will. He was always very angry at having to go and very glad to get back. Since 1899 he has repeatedly and habitually stated to me that it was impossible to live in America; that England was the only place fit to live in and that he in- sisted on permanently living there. In 1907 I suggested to Mr. Drexel that we should go back and live in America, but he absolutely refused, saying: Nothing will make me live in that rotten country.“ Viscountess Maidstone, in her affidavit asserted: My father habitually stated to me that America was no place to live in and that he disliked the people particu- larly. He said England was the only place to live in. This was a common saying of his. He said he would never think of living in America.“ Anthony J. Drexel Jr., a member of the New York Stock Exchange, and the eldest son of A. J. Drexel, deposed: “Il was born in America. When I was between nine and 10 years old my moth- er and father came over to England with the family. * * * In 1910 I mar- ried my present wife, Miss Gould, in America. I then settled in New York. * * * Before 1 went to America I, of course, had numerous opportunities of associating with my father and he has frequently stated to me that England was the only place to live in. He said that America was a horrible place to live in. In 1910 my father and family came over to attend my wedding in New York, and unxious was he to get back that they were only four days in America, going back on the same boat they arrived on * * I don't believe that my father intends to live perma- nently in France.

STOCKHOLDERS ASK FOR RECEIVER FOR KUTTRICK FIRM Holders of 194 Shares in Big Dry Goods Concern Allege Neg- ligence in Expenditures. w ote Jus Ralph, holders of 191 shares of stock of the Hargadine-Mc- Kittrick Dry Goods Co., which is in liquidation, today filed suit in the Cir- cuit Court asking for a receiver for the company. They also ask that cer- tain of its officers, including the pres- ident of the company, Thomas H. Me- Hittrick, and the board of directors, consisting of Thomas H., Hugh, Wal- ter and Ralph McKittrick; Charles C. Iinglish and Martin I’. Donohue, be rm- quired to make an accounting and tu reimburse the treasury of the corpo- ration for expenditures alleged to ha e been negligently made. According to Jullan Laughlin, attorney for tho plain- tiffs, about $10,000,000 is involved in the suit. The petition covers 57 typewritten pages and the prayer for the various decrees takes up eight additional pages. The company’s action in promoting the Raflway Exchange Building is one of the issues. Calls Price fer Store Too W Part of the site of the Railway Exchange Building was originally the site of the William Barr Dry Goods Co., which leased the property from the Julia Building Co. The suit avers that in 1905 the McKittrick company wrongfully purchased all of the capital stock of the Barr com- pany for $1,800,000. This, it is al- leged, was $900,000 too much, and the directors, it is alleged, are liable for this. It is alleged that Thomas H. Me- Kittrick conceived the idea of erect- ing a mammoth building and he as- sociated with him for the purpose of developing the plan, William J. Hol- brook and George II. Blackwelder, who are also named as defendants, an 1 Murray Carleton. They organ- ized the Department Store Investment Co. and procured for it the lease held by the Barr company on the Julia Building at Sixth and Olive. The plaintiffs charge that the Department Store Co. was interposed solely for the purpose of “leeching” the Mc- Kittrick company. Carleton, the petition sets forth, withdrew from the enterprise, “re- tiring with clean hands,” ani is not made a party to the suit. Capital Steck Dividend. The plaintiffs aver that the directors of the MeKittrick company In Decem- ber, 1905, declared a dividend of $160.00 from the capital stock. They are asked to account for this. The petition further recites that after the McKittrick com- pany took possession of the Barr store in January, 1906, the directors spent about $100,000 in the Barr place making alterations, when they knew the build- ing was to be torn down to make way for the Railway Exchange structure. After taking charge of the Barr store, the McKittrick Co. directors, it is al- leged, paid a bonus of from $50,000 to $65,000 to get rid of the Barr manager. The ythen installed as manager George H. Allan, whose alleged policy of sub- stituting new department heads for old employes was injurious to the business, it is averred. Ultimately the William Barr Co. was wrecked and $850,000 of its assets and value were lost, it is charged. Tae Defendants.

The defendant Gyrne is the dent stockholder who filed receiver for the company Court here last July. According to he plaintiffs in the present suit he has failed to prosecute his case and has rot supplied his counsel with information or evidence. It is alleged that his suit was not filed in good faith. They claim thet it has blocked other litigation, thereby en using losses to the extent of many hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Lenses Were Assigned.” According to the plaintiffs, all the leases of the Railway Exchange Build- ing were assigned to the Annuity Real- ty Co. The leases amount to $300,000 a year. This means that the total accru- ing to that company during the life of such leases will approximate $14,750,092, it is alleged. It is set forth that at the time this arrangement was made the Hargadine-McKittrick Co. was the equl- table owner of the Railway Exchange Building and that the plan was coneeived and executed in frand, gith the intent to obtain through the Annu- liv Co. a profit for an undisclosed and secret interest.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE MOBILE ARMY IN THE FORTIFIED REGION OF VERDUN, Dec. 18.—This war is not wholly impersonal. I thought it was until a survey of that sharp, topograph- ical triangle of which the town of St. Mihiel forms the apex convinced me that there is at least one slice of the line from Switzerland to the sea where the fighters of each side know exactiy what they are up against. In this little district—it ranges rough- ly from Chauvoncourt to the fort of Camp des Domaine—even the men in the trenches sometimes see their enemy in the flesh over beyond his lines. From the artillery posjtione and other posts more to the rear never a day parses without some visible demonstration of the fact thet one is warring against skin and bone individualities and not merely against highly efficient but er- tirely impersonal engines of destruction. To me, newly come from the dark depths of the Argonne forest, where the conflict is perhaps more mysterious, more meaningless and more unreal than in any other place, this impression of visibility came as a revelation. All I had hitherto seen and read of this war portrayed it as a sightless, often a soundless, and always an incomprehen- sible, struggle waged by beings in blindefs whose underground groupings are directed by unseen intellects, many miles away. Both Sides of Line Can Be Seen. While this formula doubtless holds true for the western front as a whole it has its exceptions, and the greatest of these lies in the St. Mihiel salient. For there is no sector, so the staff of- ficers inform me, from which one gets a clearer picture of what is occurring on both sides of the line. To narrate properly how I discovered the visible and personal war in the re- gion of St. Mihiel, however, one must begin chronologically and politely with a breakfast given in our honor—we were six all told—by the General in command of the fortified region of Ver- dun. We had inspected one of these forts before breakfast with the academic in- terest one would devote to a magnifi- cent antique. Not that there was any thing antiquated about that fort, for as forts go it was up to the minute. But to students of certain events at Antwerp and Przemysl, forts now have somewhat the same look as a narrow skirt of last year’s vintage on Fifth avenue. Trenches to Replace Forts. Hence I may detract without indis- cretion from the opinions uttered at the General’s table the following theory of the defenses which will replace forts in France: A line of trenches from the sea to the Vosges. Traveling at the regulation staff car pace—every military chauffeur is own brother to Barney Oldfield—we motored an hour and a half before we reached the terminus of the raflroad upon which our train was to transport us to the firing line. Before embarking I briefly inspected a Robinson Crusoe edifice in which I was informed the potius billeted hereabouts were entertained with moving picture shows. Films presented are the same as those the French Government supplied to E. Alexander Powell for reproduction under the auspices of the New York World in the United States. It was cu- rious, though, that here, within easy range of the German heavy artillery, trench soldiers were enjoying pictures trrough which Americans are learning what prodigies of \alor these same sol- diers have achieved. Although the line ran through a dense forest, it hadn't escaped the attention of German gunners four or five miles away. We imagined Coney Island rather than the war, however, as we bumpei along the miniature rails. The entire system might have been imported bodily from an amusement park, I thought particularly when on down-gradc stretches our equine engines were un⸗ hitched and followed on behind at a gallop, and we tobogganed swiftly along to the next uphill bit. Frequentiy wwe walked or waded to the front lines through interminable boyaux (communi- cation trenches), so our satisfaction at this luxurious traveling was intense. That the system hadn't been laid ont altogether for our benefit, however, was evident from the heavily laden care standing at the terminal and from var — fous stations with sidetracks which we passed. Shells and More Shelis. The contents of cars and stations con- sisted chiefly of shells, shells, then more shells, with here and there a few con- signments of frozen meat or other com- missariat commodities. I learned that because of this toy ral: - road the St. Mihiel portion of the front was better and more easily served with ammunition and lesser wants than any- where else, and I began to have a great admiration for the humble engineers who were operating it. Our special tra- versed many miles of woodland, and a few paces from the end Of the line we came to the bomb-proof lodgings of a Colonel, whose regiment occupied the front trenches a couple of hundred yards beyond. From the cliff, which is a sort of veranda for him, the Colonel pointed out Fort des Paroches, one of the out- lying forts of Verdun, and beyond that Chauvon Court, which is in German hands. Then he produced sundry ste- helmets and anti-gas masks and bade us don the former and carry the latter. There's no special danger, he ob- served, but in some of the places we are going they can see our heads.” That was my introduction to the per- sonal phase of the war. Never before had an officer confessed that my head m.ght enter the enemy’s line of vision. Flags of Four Nations Fly. The second hint that men, and not mere emotionless machines, were con- fronting us across the narrow vale in front of St. Mihiel reached me when, behind the German trenches, I saw four flagstaffs flying the banners of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria upon the soil of France. Onc of the staff officers with us cauf t sight of these flags at the same time I did. A stranger to this sector, he never had seen them before. I watched him scowl and gnaw at his mustache and knew that he, too, sensed fa spirit of individualism in the con- flict. The climax of this feeling, however, came to me only when, having traversed a comparatively short bayou, we found ourselves at the edge of a cliff on an observation post from which one gazed down upon the opposing trenches as though from an aeroplane, 500 feet in the air. To the left the German lines lost themselves in Chauvencourt. Right op- posite, in the middle distance, they were strung out along a ridge, with French trenches a hundred yards from them, in our immediate foreground—so close that we could readily glimpse the poilus shoveling mud out of them—slightly to the right, and nestling behind that ridge were the roofs of St. Mintel, two miles away, and on the extreme right lay the battered fort of Camp Les Ro- mains, at the southernmost extremity at the St. Mihiel salient, from which the German line curves abruptly east- ward. All this one distinguishes with eyes alone; with field glasses, the firing trench of the Germans seemed so close that one felt like leaning forward and plucking from its shelter some of the Crown Prince’s legionaries. Germans Seen Behind Trenches. From the chimneys of St. Mihie! smoke arose, and from the German boyaux one occasionally saw a spade- ful of earth flung over a parapet. To one who is familiar with the utter life- leasness brooding over most sections at the front, these trifling insignia of human existence are distinctly thrill- ing. But even more striking evidence was vouchsafed me. To a Sergeant observer, a nook on the cliff, I said: see any Germans over there: In reply, he swept the landscape be- hind the trenches with his glasses, then poke briefly: “Look now, you'll see two descending the Chaillon road to St. Mihiel.”’ Eagerly I gazed upon that gray rib- bon and suddenly across there there crawled two objects like black insects i: a miscroscpe. “I've got em now.“ I exclaimed. „They're on horseback—they're gallop- ing now.” ; “The ones I saw were on foot,” the Sergeant. “Yes. there are two on foot and two right behind, riders—four Germans al- together,” I fairly yelled.

HE men who went to Catawissa, fy Mo., in the Obarks Thursday to get the Christmas tree to be set up in the Coliseum for the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival Association gat a taste of the hardships in the trenches on the battle fronts in Europe. They encountered a soaked and adhesive soil that almost drew their shoes off their feet. But the work of cutting the ever- green tree and arranging for its trans- pertation to St. Louis was accomplished. It is due to arrive here not later than Monday morning. The party left St. Louis at 9 a. m. on the Frisco. It was headed by Stephen A. Martin, chairman of the Post-Dis- patch Christmas Festival Association cemmittee on tree and decotations, and E. D. Anderson, advertising manager of the Bell Telephone Co. Others were Frank Wyman, H. J. Bube, N. A. Cun- liff, Otto F. Karbe and W. E. Taylor, all members ot the Festival Association executive committee; J. C. Whitsett of the Simmons Hardware Co., F. O. Lud- low, district manager of the telephone cempany, W. A. Johnson, a staff pho- tographer for the Post-Dispatch, and also a photographer for the St. Louis Industrial Picture Co., who went to the scene to cover in movies the event of felling the tree and following it along ite journey. „ Party Greeted at Station. The party was greetcd at Catawissa by a large delegation of citizens headed by Jacob Fisher, who frequently takes the part of Santa Claus in entertain- ments.

Bren- nan, Frank Wallach, Emil Wallach, James Sweeney, Michael Connolly. — party went in autos from the sta- = woe ten ne esinol tion to ine farm of Stephen P. Downey, where the tree was to be cut. Downey informed the party that the cedar grove was something more than a mile away and that the distance could only be covered afoot. Then the trouble began. First the tramp was over a stony road- way, thence into a clover field and then through a cornfield. Here black gumbu was encountered. Members of the party who had gone to the scene wearing rubbers came away without them unless they took the precaution, after losing them in the mud several times, to put them into their pocket. Most of the party wore goloshes, some of them of extra height, but it became necessary to fasten them to the leg with wire which the representatives of the tele- phone company provided. The tree is the largest that has ever been brought to St. Louis for the Post Dispatch Christmas Festival Associa- tion. It is more than 50 feet high, with a spread of 35 feet and circumferefice at the butt of 70 inches. It was originally expected to obtain the tree from the farm of Mr. Whitsett, he having tend- ered it, as in former years, but as his grove was two miles farther from the railroad than the tract of Mr. Downey, it was deemed wise to select the tree from the latter tract to make the prob- lem of hauling less difficult. As it is the telephone company, which is again bringing the tree to St. Louis, will have a hard job. In order to keep it from the mud when being hauled over the clover and corn fields to the railways yards at Catawissa, about one and a half miles, the company’s men will tie BE CAREFUL WHAT =!YOU TAKE FOR COLDS Tickets for Dance on Sale at Stores N your Christmas shopping buy | a ticket to the popular elimina- tion, dance contest at Dream- land Tuesday evening, in which everyone may try for the two prizes of $20 each and the title to dancing leadership in the eity.

NEW YORK, Dee. 18.—The following letter which George W. Perkins, chair- man of the Progressive party's execu- tive committee, sent to President Wil- son under date of Dec. U, has been made public: My dear Mr. President: I am im- pressed with the following statement made by you in your speech at Co- lumbus: „The Mexicans may not know what to do with their Government, but that is none of: our business, and so long as I have the power to prevent it, nobody shall butt in“ to alter it for them.’ This statement seems to me to be in sharp contrast to your actions in Mex- ico, actions which have caused our country so much embarrassment and humiliation. When you refused to rec- ognize Huerta you certainly ‘butted in’ in Mexico. J address you on the subject because I earnestly believe that in the manner in which you ‘butted in’ in Mexico is found the root of all the trouble and humiliation to which our country has been. subjected, not. only with Mexico, but other foreign countries as well. “When you ‘butted in’ in Mexico you demanded that our flag be saluted. You sent our troops to Vera Crus; you brought our dead away and left our honor behind; you abandoned your de- mand that our flag be saluted. These, with countless other incidents in Mexico, caused Germany and other nations to realize that our foreign policy was so ill-considered, so short-sighted, so impotent and pointless, that they had absolutely nothing to fear from us. And consequently they have treated us with scorn and impunity. “The result is that our prestige today | N in every foreign. capital is at a lower ebb than ever before reached. And I believe that very many Americans join me in the feeling that all this is direct- ly traceable to the fact that at the be- ginning of the Mexican situation, you did not act as you now talk. “As the contrast between your state- ment of yesterday and your action at the beginning of the Mexican situation is at such wide variance, it occurs to me that there may be some reason for it which you might at this time be will- ing to make known to the public. Re- spectfully yours, “GEO. W. PERKINS.” If the President has replied to the let. ter the fact has not been announced. Xmas Cards and Seals Free.

ESTATE IS $2,000,000 Purpose of Grandson’s Claim Was to Get Share of Properity, Willed to Suffrage. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. . That Mrs. Frank Leslie, deceased cot the noted publisher, is alleged to have been the daughter of a negress slave and Charies Follin, a white man, of New Orleans, La., was made public in an ac- counting of the estate, filed in the Sur- rogate’s Court by Willian Nelson Crom- well and Louis H. Cramer, the execu- tors. The executors paid $108 to detectives who investigated Mrs. Leslie's parent- age, and to show why this was neces- sary, they cite charges made by Arthur Leslie, grandson of the publisher, by a previous marriage, who recently applied to the Surrogate’s Court for permission te contest the validity of Mrs. Leslie's will. The will gave Mrs. Carrie Chap- man Catt the bulk of the $2,000,000 estate to be used to further the cause of suf- frage. Secret Hearings Held, The hearings on Mr. Lesiie’s motion were before Surrcgate Fowler in secret. ard the first inkling of the charges made by the grandson were contained in the accounting. The Surrogate still has the case under consideration. The executors, after stating that the estate amounts to $1,748,550, exclusive »f six parcels of realty, and calling atten- tion to the fact that Mr. Cramer wants $193,500 for legal services extending over a period of nine years, recite Mr. Les- He's complaint. “The general nature * the claim,” they say, “was that the descendant was the illegitimate child of one Charles Follin and a negro slave and that she left no heirs at law or next of kin on the part of her mother; that her es- tate had come to her from her husband, Frank Leslie, and under the statutes of distribution and descent of this State the heirs at law and the next of kin of the decedent were heirs at law and next of kin of Frank Leslie.“ Others Are te Contest. ahe executors have investigated the facts alleged in the petition and have | entirely protected the interests of the ‘estate. A notice has been filed by Lo- -retta L. Hollander, Florence L. Weiss- brod and Frank Leslie stating that they intend to make claims similar to the claim of Aruthur Leslie. The purpose of the affidavits reflect- ing upon the parentage of Mrs. Leslie was to establish that the would-be con- testants, all grandchildren of Frank Leslie, are the only kin of Mrs. Leslie. The affidavits were submitted by James L. Westcott, attorney for Arthur Leslie. Westcott said today he could not make the. affidavits public, as he had agreed not to do so. It is understood the ‘grandchildren hope to effect a compro- mise with Mrs. Catt, out of court.

The injunction which the opponents of segrega- ‘on are said to be preparing against the initiative as unconstitutional would probably fail; the in!- tiative provision of the charter is probably con- a segregation law. We do not believe that it is constitutional to forbid citizens of any class to occupy their own property, so long as they do not use it for un- lawful purposes. How is ft constitutionally pos- sible to prevent a negro from occupying as a home a house belonging to him? How is it possible to keep him from buying a house in any part of the city? If he owns the house, can he not occupy and use it? Discriminations such as that embodied in a seg- regation law cut deep into fundamental rights and liberties. However much one may want to divide one class of citizens from another, or whatever reasons may be urged in favor of their division, we must have regard for fundamental principles of liberty. We must preserve individual rights at any cost. The Board of Aldermen might have saved the city much money by passing the segregation or- dinance and thus giving opportunity for a test of the law, without subjecting the city to the great cost of an election by initiative. The party to which the Aldermen belong has too much re- gard for the negro vote to consent to action of this kind. It would, however, have saved the city a large sum, without cutting off the opportunity of the negro to fight segregation. If it is possible to test the principle of the law without undertaking the heavy expense of an elec- tion—possibly two elections—steps should be taken to this end. The city has been overbur- dened with special elections. = = == - - May the Saturday event have the effect of heart- ening all lone American widowers. = — = — MOROS AND MORMONS. Brigadier-General Frank McIntyre strongly urges Congress not to include a penal provision against polygamy in the new Philippine bill. It will be better not to enact it than to leave it un- enforced, he thinks, and to enforce it would cost much bloodshed and many years of time. This seems to be good advice. Even on this continent plural marriages have had an astonish- ing prevalence against the force of the law. The first national convention ever held by the Re- publican party denounced the polygamy of Mor- mondom as one of the twin relics of barbarism. Half a century later polygamy in Utah was an is- sue of fact on which much was said in the affirma- tive. Will the Moros, whose religion also sanctions plural marriages, be as much of a problem as the Mormons and will there be future struggles over Moro Reed Smoots and Moro Congressman Rob- erts? = = W ABYSSINIA TO THE RESCUE. Another of the curious possibilities which the war has thrust on the world is contained in a re- port from Abyssinia. The young Emperor of that country is said to have offered 200,000 of his black troops, well trained and armed with Belgian and Krupp guns, to assist the allies, If the report is not a mocking invention of the enemy and the offer is bona fide and is accepted, Abyssinia would be found fighting on the same side with Italy, with which not so very long ago it was at war, with results greatly to Italy’s disadvantage. But, then, the struggle has from the first been throw- ing nations into groupings which only a little time ago would have been thought impossibly illogical. Japan is fighting on Russia's side, after late bloody resistance to her rivalry Bulgaria is fighting with the Turks, whom only two years ago she was slaughtering, and Turkey is fighting against the British and French, who for nearly a century were her protectors. The most remarkable feature of Abyssinia’s par- ticipation would be the further extent of African territory it would involve in the issues of the con- test. The Continent is so largely controlled by the colonizing Powers that practically all of Africa except Abyssinia and Liberia is now affect-' ei by the War. If the Abyssinian offer is accepted, ponly Liberia would remain at peace. More of heathen Africa would participate in Christian Furope's war than of Europe itself. _—- "= “Blood and iron,” said Bismarck, but he proba- bjy never expected anything like fron small coin in Germany. . > + i NEW HOST OF BRITISH VOLUNTEERS. Estimates on the enlistments obtained in the British Isles under the Lord Derby plan were early placed at 500,000 and have ranged from_that number to an improbable maximum of 8,000,000. Whatever the exact number, the period permitted for testing the plan closed with all the evidences of a remarkable success. An incredible proportion of the available mate- rial in the kingdom has been placed at the dis- posal of the war office. It is said to be enough to put new armies in the field and to supply for months to come the normal ratio of wastage in all armies. A result which should enable the British to make a creditable showing in the remainder of the war, without resort to conscription, would have from many viewpoints. It would make own contribution to those general guarantees of a long era of peace hoped for as a consequence i the war. n new attitude of respect tow 55 peervicn ye | 8 ae 8 * ; “4 8 Pe iy 3 1 1 ial stitutional, but we doubt the constitutionality of | militarism and subordinates all other aims to that ot armed force is unnecessary.

LOUIS m A AW | Phe $285,000 appropriation for the a system of municipal wharves pasad the oar of Aldermen without a dissenting vote. This unanimity represents the sentiment and conviction of St. Louis as to future needs ia conserving the city’s trade supremacy and pres tige. We believe that St. Louis has never made a $285,000 investment from which so many ma terial returns have been received as may reason- ably be expected from this investment. The city’s executive officers have a further important duty to perform. Supplied with the money they should make this first unit an object river terminals. Its construction should avoid handicaps from the Mississippi's fluctuating depth. It should be furnished with the very latest and most economical labor-saving machinery and appliances. In other words, it should be a model in con- venience and cost-reducing equipment for hand- ling river freight under the competitive condil- tions created by the splendid facilities at the disposal of the railroads. 1 9 The Deakyne report is to be drowned in the six- foot channel of the Missouri. = = " '-— A REGISTRY MORTGAGE TAX. F. N. Judson’s letter to the Post-Dispatch op- portunely points out that the decision of the Kan- sas Supreme Court invalidating a registry tax on mortgages should not discourage further effort in Missouri for sane taxation on this form of cred- its. The distinction he draws between the constitu- tional rules of the two states is one familiar to lawyers and students of tax evolution. The rule requiring uniformity in the taxation of all prop- erty was at one time regarded by not a few states other than Kansas as providing an adequate safe- guard against injustice and inequality. But it was found that the same kind of taxation is not adapt- ed to all kinds of property. Some forms of tax- ation gave satisfactory results as applied to some forms of property, but unsatisfactory results as applied to other forms. So, more than a generation ago, the old hard rule of uniformity for all property began to give j Way to a rule permitting property to be classified and requiring uniformity only for property of the same kind or classification. Missouri has long had the broader rule, but Kansas, whose govern- ing devices are supposed to be in advance of those of most of the states, still sticks to the old rule A registry tax on mortgages would be self-en- forcing. It would cause an enormous reduction in perjury in Missouri and yield much greater reve- nue than is obtained under the present plan of taxing mortgages by assessment, which everybody, seemingly, is in a conspiracy to evade. = = — — THAT ASTOUNDING AUSTRIAN PROPOSAL. Austria asks us to define the law while it “must preserve full liberty to urge its own legal interpretations.” That is to say, we may play the part of prosecutor to our heart’s content, while Austria will act as judge and jury. This would be less startling in contrast to heretofore recognized modes of justice if Austria were not the offender. The most incomprehensible and paradoxical feature of the Austrian note is that it expresses sympathy for the victims. 3 SAFETY GUARDS ON MACHINES. Action to compel the equipment of machines with effective safety guards will not benefit Marie Moentmann, but may save other workers from injury or death. For that reason, State Factory Inspector Johnston should have the co- operation of all machine-using employers in see- ing that the best-known safety equipment is placed on all machinery. A majority of employ- ers are willing to obey the law in this regard, and the courts should deal sternly with the few who are too penurious and too careless of the wel- fare of their employes to make their machines safe. But the most potent factor in bringing about the universal use of safety devices will be a work- men's compensation law. Under that law, the stingy employer will know that he cannot escape payment for injuries sustained by workers from unguarded machines. It will be cheaper to use safety guards than to run the risk of paying com- pensation. The compensation law will make the Golden Rule automatic in places where men and machinery come in contact. — — W = 25 * Lying rides on war's back. 88 r SIR DOUGLAS HAIG. He is a romahtic Tooking Prisoner of Zenda sort of chap, with a clubby air and a deuced lot of sang froid. Sang froid is the stuff good Gen- erals are made of. Their sang has to be froid in order to stand the killing pace. As all read- ers of English drawing-room fiction know very well, sang means blood, and froid means cold. Sir Douglas is the “very picture of a modern Major General,” as Gilbert would have said, and he bears the illustrious name of the mightiest Scotch whisky ever distilled—the j cele- brated pinch bottle brand that has cap two continents and bowled over more great military cemmanders than all the cannon balls, which always fall short of headquarters. With the Revised to date: powerful prestige of his name, plus his sang } froid, a military mustache that out-Kaisers the Kaiser's, and a record of 16 months valor in ter- rific action, he comes to supreme command of the British continental armies full of- promise.

After the death of the parents of his wife, Mr. Mason had Now he was renting it furnished and had taken up more limited quarters in the adjoining cotts - which he owned. The Pelhams had just moved in. Mrs. Pelham was busy all day long getting the interior in order. Her husband at- tended to outside matters. He removed the screens, tidied up the garden and both retired that night pretty well wearied with their unusual labor. “The house is too large for us, EFarle.”’ Mrs. Pelham remarked. “I wish we bad taken the one Mr. Mason occu- pies.” “I don’t know that we could get it.“ observed her husband. I heard he was going to sell both places if he could and leave the town. The associations of this old house, where his unfortunatc wife was born, must be very painful to him.” Robert Mason had given up his wife as dead. In trying to locate her after her escape from the sanitarium the searchers had discovered several clews ‘that led them to believe that the fuci- tive had wandered into the swamp djs- triet. This was a dangerous and in- terminable swamp pot, and three days after the disappearance of Mrs. Mason a fire had swept the greater portion of it. There was every reason to believe that Mrs. Mason had perished. A distressing feature of her fate way the fact that the physician in charge of the sanitarium had entertained great hopes of her eventual recovery. Sne had been improving for some weeks prior to her escape. It was about midnight when Mr. Pel- ham, soundly asleep. was aroused from his slumbers by a quick nudge from his wife.

I've been over half an hour lyipg awake and listening to suspicious sounds. The wind, I suppose “No; I thought so at first, “hut found I was mistaken,“ continued Mrs. Pel- ham ma timorous voice.

Princess Terrible d M4 Sandman story of the King’s aughter who preferred to be an old maid and live with her father and mother. By Mrs. F. NCE upon a time there lived a O kine who had a very beautiful daughter. Her hair hung in golden curls and her cheeks were the color of peach blossoms. The king had selected for her husband a prince who owned vast lands, and handsome cas- tiles, but the princess did not want to marry him because he was not a good man. “T do not love him,” she would say when her father spoke of the prince as her future husband. I am going to be an old maid.”’ One night when everybody in the cas- tle was asleep the princess stole out very softly. She went to the cave of an old witch in the woods. “Mother witch,“ she said, do heip me; I cannot marry the prince, I do not love him.“ The old witch told her she could help her, but she must promise not to blame her for anything that hap- pened afterward. “Anything will be better than mar- rying a man I do not love,” the prin- cess replied. The old witch nobbled into her cave and returned with a white tablet and a tiny phial which held red liquid. “Go home, she told the princess, “and let them prepare for your wed- ding: do not fret or find fault. On your wedding night after you are dressed, take this tablet, drop this red liquid on it and swallow it at once. The prince will not want you for his wife, I will promise you that.“ HE princess thanked her and went 7 back to the castle, feeling very happy. The night of the wedding when she wat dressed in her bridal gown and the veil had been pinned in place she asked to be left alone for a little while. As soon as she was left by herself ashe took from a secret draw- er the tablet and the phial. Dropping the red liquid on it as the old witch told her, she lifted her veil. and swal- lowed it. Then she called ber attendants and went to her waiting guests. The ceremony war over and the prince raised the veil to salute his bride, but instead of the pretty face of the princess he beheld with horror the face of a lion. The hand upon which a minute be- fore he had placed a wedding ring was the paw of that savage beast. The prince fied from the room and out of that castle. The guests when they be- held the terrible head and paws fied also and the King and Queen were the only ones left. : The Servants were afraid of the Princess Terrible, as they oalled ber now, and she had to hide herself in a room im the tower of the castle. The King was in despair and could not understand the dreadful thing that naa happened to his once beautiful daughter. The prince fied trom the country and A.

As soon as the fairy had gone the princess began rubbing the tablet as the fairy had directed. White foam, like soap lather, soon formed and the prin- cess rubbed it over her face and head. The next morning she saw that her hands were as they had been before the wedding, but as there was no mirror in the room she could not be sure about her face. When the King and Queen brought her breakfast they dropped the dishes, they were so surprisei and overjoyed, for there was their daugh- ter as beautiful as she ever had been. The King gave a ball in her recovery from what he felt sure was some terrible malady, and all the people fe miles around were invited princes ud young men who were of lowly station. The King hoped that the Princess would choose a husband, but she said „No!“ she would remain single and live with her father and mother, and when they were old they were glad she had not left them.

Anything seeme to some people better than staying at home: the stupidest show, the dreariest lecture. a visit to the movies round the corner. And it they really can't think of another thing to do they call on the Boresome fam- ily. Not that they care in the least for these acquaintances, but of course t is better than staying at home O the Never-Homes really enjoy this ceaseless gadding about? Are they supremely happy in their mode of life? If this is so, certainly their looks belie them. Haven't you noticed that the man of the family has a discon- tented expression and the wife peevish? Again, why? Principally because they have no resources within themselves. Their constant search fcr amusement fails to amuse them. They don't know enough to take an evening off occasion- ally and refresh their minds with a good book, or even simply to cultivate a feeling of restfulness and calm in the home atmosphere. „Be it ever so huruble, here's no place ike home, says the old song whose pathos long ago brought tears to the eyes of really hard-hearted audiences. Would it do so today? I doubt it very much, with three-quartere of the listeners thinkine where they can go to get away from home the nexi eve- ning. F course, there are such things as unhappy homes, homes where the wife nags and the husband vents all the ill tempers that he is obliged to control during Dusiness hours, homes where instead of love and affection and plain living and high thinking there is strife and jeal- ousy, vindictiveness and constant re- crimination. Can the head of the house be blamed for staying away ae much as possible from such an atmosphere and the wife for being a gadabout’ Yes, they can, for whose fault is it that such a condition of affairs ex- — > ists? The blame must belong to somebody. Is it you, whichever you are, husband or wife? Did you ever Stay at home long enough to think that this might possibly be the case? Unhappy homes don't just happen of themselves. Perhaps two-thirds of the blame is yours. UST for an interesting’ experiment | try the effect, for only one week, of being as agreeable at home as you are at the club or in society. I think the result will surprise you. It is really amazing what a de- lightful place home can be if only you make it so. If the husband uses a little of that tact that puts through his business deals so successfully and if the wife displays some of the charm of manner that makes her such a fa- vorite in club cireles, home will be an entirely different place. Not a place to get away from, but a place to enjoy. The strange thing about the er-home habit is that it attacks peo- ple whose homes would be really hap- py if they would stay in them long enough to find out: just as often as it does those unfortunates who have something to flee from. if you belong to the former remember that ‘ life,” and enjoyable sionally home. class, ‘variety is the spice of adding“ is 10 times as if it is interspersed occo- with a quiet evening at — The W of Rugby.

HERE are many commodities which have been exported from Japan for the first time since the beginning of the war. One of them is playing cards, for which large orders have been placed with Japanese makers. The total value ef the orders was estimated at a recent Gate to be in excess of $7,500,000. Most of these cards have been consigned to Nurope, the greater part to be used as gifts for soldiers, while the remainder are put on the regular market through English merchants.

Several of the owners denied that the terms had been as far acvanced as reports stated. It was stated today that both the St. Louls Browns and Nationals were on the market and that tentative offers had been made for each of them. but that the deals were still open, pending fur- ther negotiations of the Peace Cummit- tees. The owners of the Baltimore Fed- erals insist that the St. Louis Nationals be transferred to Baltimore. Mr. Gaffney, owner of the Boston Na- tionals, said today that the conference last night disclosed that the Federal League had lost more than $3,000,000 since its entry in the baseball world. This amount was more than the com- bined losses of all previous baseball wars, it was said. Aside from the mereers of the Na- tional and Federal League clubs CHICAGO AND ST. LOUIS, one of the most important clauses in the agree- ment, it is authoritatively stated, is a provision that 72 ef the Federal League players who now have con- tracts th the Federal League shall be fully pretected by organized base- ball. According to the same authority other Federal League players will be given 10 days’ notice. An im t phase of the negotiations is the part assigned to the International League and the American Association in taking over the clubs and players left y the elimination of the Federal argue. Newark, Buffalo, Baltimore and Pitts- burg, it is stated, are to have clubs in the reorganized International League. It is reported that Carroll Rasin, pres- ident of the Baltimore Federals, will control the new Baltimore club and that nner, head of the Pittsburg will be president of the or- ganized Pittsburg club. Rasin, however, demands that the Lewis National League club be transferred to Baltimore. It was said today that probably the International League and the American Association will have to take care of Federal League players rejected by the two major leagues.

TRENDALL BUSY MONDAY Pride of the Patch Goes to Kan- sas City for Bout With Johnny Salvatore. Sailor Jerabek, a middleweight of con- siderable fighting merit and undoubted punch and courage, will oppose welter- weight Leo Kelly at the South Broad- way Athletic Club tonight in the main event of a card of three contests, with Eddie Randall the referee. Kelly has fought many good men from lightweights to middleweights, and has proven a tough card for all opponents. He hits hard and is difficult to hurt. He had a fund of rough stuff derived from experience in many rings from Ohio to the Pacific Coast. Jerabek's reputation is local. His best showings have been made against local men such as Tommy Burke. He is sup- posed to do 145 pounds for Kelly and probably will be very little heavier than his opponent at ringside. The other bouts scheduled are between Owen Hooker of Frisco and Eddie Len- non, at 116 pounds, And between Everett Anderson and Billy Cole. Lennon faces Harry Kabakoff, Monday night, and arenes may be in for a double trim- ming. Trendall Goes to K. C. Harry Trendall will quit the commun- ity for Kansas City today. He fights Johnny Salvatore at Jimmy Hurst's club Monday. Salvatore is a fighter of class, or is so considered around Min- neapolis, where he homes. Trendall later, Dec. 28, to be exact, is matched with Len Rowlands to show at the Fu- ture City A. C. © 7 — Welsh Going Right Ahead That promise to meet Charley White is not stopping Freddre Welsh’s barn- storming tour. Welsh recently stalled and clinched through six rounds in Phil- adelphia against a local lightweight, and was panned by the press and de- =e as having lost the bout by a mile. He's also matched to fight Johnny Griffith of Akron, O., at Johnny’s home town, Dec. 21. Welsh will receive a $4000 guarantee. In addition they are trying to bring Freddie and Kilbane into the ring to- gether, without much success, as Fred wants to meet a boy whose best 8 weight is at least 13 pounds less than the Briton’s. How Manager Pollok, who accepted $4000 for meeting a tough lad like Grif- fith, a boy of Welsh's own weight, can demand . for a featherweight con- test, is hard to figure. It’s Coming to Him “I have never done anything wrong in my life,” sobs Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard, whom he has just matched to punch holes in a Swiss cheese named Fulton, 80 you gotta hand it to me.” Wait until March 4, Tom. You will probably be handed. a-plenty. Thompson a Real Fighter Georgie Thompson, who spent a few days in St. Louis last winter, while on his way Hast, is one scrapper of merit that seems to have a hard time getting ahead. None of the good ones want to meet him because he has cleaned up the tough second raters with ease and dis- patch. He's asking for bouts with Ertle and Willlams, but he can't even reach the ears of their managers with a long- distance phone. Eastern experts who have watched Thompson say he's a bear-cat right, fighting like a whirl- wind all the time. 5 5 Is It Possible? Gibbons will meet Young Ahearn in Minneapolis about Jan. 15, a St. Paul paper states. But will he—CAN he? If Gibbons really hail pneumonia, he'll do no fighting for at least two montha, if he values his future. * Safety First, Then Money The middleweight situation will be threshed out soon because, says a pu- — writer, Les Darcy, Jeff Smith ike Gibbons and Young Ahearn will all be In this country. The conclusion is not warranted from the facts. Fred Welsh has been cham- pion for nearly 18 months now, without risking, his title in anything save no- decision or einch“ bouts. The chances are that it will take a year of 10-round bouts to get the prin- cipals down to the point where a long fight for the title can be arranged. The situation must be thoroughly milked first before the cream is skimmed from it. — . — FEW RUNNERS ENTERED IN BIG CROSS-COUNTRY RUN NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Twenty-seven run- ners are entered in the annual senior na- tional cross-country championshi h Van Cortlandt Park course this” afternoor * This is the smallest field that has entere4 the event in years. with snow and ice, eliminate some of H Kolehmainen is the favorite. — ter mind at the helm there would be reason to expect great things of this venport, p. ft: Lavan and How- i duty; Hartley backst jor forced to weight had never been knocked out quil, except for broken bones. — * His cham- pionship was lost on a foul, not by a “Kayo.” On one oc- casion Wol- gast was forced to quit in the eighth round of a bout with Welsh because of a fractured arm bone. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.4That Ad Wol- gast is all down and out as a scrapper of title class was evident when he was forced to quit before the scheduled end of his bout with Leach Cross at the Harlem Sporting Club last night. in the sixth round of the battle both of Ad’s eyes were in bad shape, one of them being closed up from a cut re- ceived at Atlanta this week, while the other was almost as bad. _Wolgast could hardly see and his sec- 8 WOLGAST PS a onds were forced to throw up the sponge in the seventh. Up to the sixth the bout had been even, Wolgast having two rounds, Cross two, with one even. Wolgast fought in his usual aggressive style. This was the second fight of the week that Wolgast has abandoned. At Atlanta, Ga., against Frankie Whitney of Cedar Rapids, Wolgast suffered a cut over his eye that bled so profusely the was unable to continue. — — RAY’ COLUMN S Ad's recipe for popularity is one that many fighters ought to read and heei. It is: “Fight to the limit while you are in the ying, no matter who your op- volved.” 0 . . Ad has lived up to this principle well. No one can recall reading of any Wol- gast fights in which the former cham- pion “stalled,” or failed to extend him- self, as Freddie Welsh and Johnny Kil- bane have done. Whether as champion or “has been,“ whether for a title or for a $500 purse, Wolgast has always tried to give the best he had. How many fighters in these no-decision, grab-the-money days can say as much? ‘i Wolgast’s Drawing Power LTHOUGH beaten for the title, Wolgast has been able to earn big purses, because fans knew they would get a FIGHT when he went into the ring. In a match with Tommy Mur- phy. himself no title hope, following Ad's defeat by Ritchie, Wolgast drew $22,400 at the gate, of which he received $11,200. This is nearly five times as much ag Fred Welsh received for winning the world’s light~- weight championship, and about four times what Kid Wlilliams was paid for beating Johnny Coulon out Of his title. Ad fought Murphy again, shortly after, and they drew enough to make Wolgast’s share $7500. Wolgast has save4 $30,000 out of his fight earnings since he lost the championship—Think of that! The reasons! It's simple—Ad won the confidence of the public and has never done anything in the way of shirking to abuse that confidence. We recommend the example. 2 0 Baseball War Chronology December, 1913 — Federal League announces big league or bust“ policy.

Its failure to have play- ers in the firat 100 ranking this year, was dee te the negiect of local men 6 1 —— the National Lawn rennen Assoda- ponent is or what the amount in- Champions Not the Only Breadwinners D WOLGAST’S case is interesting financiers of the get-rich-quick va- riety, who would like to know how he gets away with it,“ although he has been considered a ‘‘hasbeen’’ for three years. So far has he declined that it appears he was Tuesday forced to quit in a fight with a third-rater, Frank Whitney of Cedar Rapids. Last night Leach Cross stopped him. tion jurisdiction to entitle them to representation. Jones and Hoerr have ‘heretofore al- ways been rated in the national lists. Jones once ranked as good as sixteenth and another time twenty-fourth. Hoerr, last year, was in group five, according to the new system of ranking by groups instead of positions. = Football Rule Changes 12 are dickering with the football rules again, it seems. While on the face of the season the existing college football code seems about ideal, minor adjustments are needed, according to some authorities. For example, Parke H. Davis of the Rules Committee is fathering a plan to penalize by the loss to his team of 15 yards the paver who, without havin himself a chance to intercept a bal jostles an opponent about to receive it. Other suggestions made are: To abandon the goal kick. To widen the field of play five yards, To punish an unre covered fum- ble by a five-yard penalty, instead of loss of the ball. Present Rule Is O. K. HE only one of these that attracts the eye as new is that relating to the possession of the fumbled ball re- ccvered by the enemy. This is a radical proposition and was fostered by no less a player than Arthur Poe, who himself ran the length of the field for a touch- down against Yale tn 1898, under such conditions as are covered in his sug- gested rule change. At present a fumble recovered ** the chemy renders the side fumbling liable to anything that thereafter happens, even to a run the length of the field for a touchdown. The five-yard penalty on fum- bles, inatead of teas of the ball would tend to the elimination of scores not really earned. Touchdowns frequently happen when fumbles are recovered close to the goal of the side losing possession of the oval, making scoring easy for the 2 Long runs, following pick-ups in mid- field, result in scores that frequently could never have been earned by sys- tematic attack of superior football by the side benefited. On the ather hand, posscasion of the ball and accurate handling ef the same are twe of the funda- mentals of the game, and recov- ered fumbles and all that goes with them are properly consid- ered the just prise of superior alertness, Many spectacular plays result from fumbles; and while a mere five-yard pen- alty would cause fewer undeserved scores, it would surely remove interest- ing features, from the spectators’ view- point. The chances are that the forward pass change is the only one that will receive serious consideration when the commit- tee meets. MURPHY WINS FROM BALL IN F. C. A. C.

SOL DAN PLAYS YEATMAN West End Team Is Expected to Prove the Stronger in This Contest. Central High School’s 1915 debut will feature the weekly double bill of the In- terscholastic Basket Ball League at the Grover Cleveland High School gymnasi- um tonight. The mid-city quint will clash with the McKinley High five in the opening game, while Yeatman and Soldan are scheduled to play in the second encoun: ter. Cleveland High has an open date. The initial game should be the feature one of the two, inasmuch as Central and McKinley are favored to struggle for the prep“ supremacy this season. The their game with ldan last Saturday, while Central, wit several veterans back in the lineup, looks very good on paper. ö Coach Walker will send his team against McKinley with McElwee, Miller and Larmore as veterans of the last sea- son. Whitley, who played quarterback on the red and black foatball eleven, will be a newcomer at forward, while 282 will de tried at the center posi- on. McKinley will play with the same line- up as it did last Saturday. The South Siders showed a weakness at caging the balls last week, although their. floor ame was splendid. It is said that Coach allen has had the players at practice on the deficiency all week and an im- provement has been the result. Soldan Has Fast Five. Although Soldan lost last week to Mc- Kinley, the West Enders created a bet- ter impression than did Yeatman, their opponents of tonight. Both teams will enter the contest tonight with the same lineups. All of the scholastic quints seemed to be unfamiliar with the- new rules in last week’s games and conse- quently the play was often ragged, be- cause of the frequent calling of fouls The prepsters““ probably ave beer taught the changes in the past week — the game should improve as a re- sult. |W.

ES good 1355 _ BUNGALOWS AND COTTAGES — of Thomas Hardy’s literary style. The preface asks whether Nietzsche was right in talking about the struggle between the well constituted and the ill constituted,“ and whether, as Nietsche held, power, courage and pride rule the universe. Or,“ he asks, “is the hidden and basic law of things, not power, but sacrifice; not pride, but love?’ The story, he announces, is an attempt to give an answer, however tentative, to this question. A dedication to Thomas Hardy, as the literary over-lord of Wes- sex, in which the scenes of Wood and Stone“ are laid, follows. When once the story is begun, Hardy triumphs over Nietzsche, and it is a novel, not a. philosophic treatise.

She is successful in securing a position as secretary and stenographer for a doctor. Through some unusual adventures The Goddess Girl” meets some New York artists and writers, who take her under their wing and show her the sights of the city. While seeing these sights, she meets and loves a man who, Une herself, is not an artist or writer. The man loves the girl, but wants all that marriage will supply without marrying, However, when the girl learns of his desires, she refuses his love, but her ilove for him still remains. The man, after being cast aside realizes what he has lost, and then makes his plea for mar- riage. After which all is well. In her companionship with the artista and writers, The Goddess Girl“ enjoys some experiences which are denied those who are not of the circle of artists, al. pure and wholesome in their character.

FOURTH volume in the series by Dr. George Trumbull Ladd comes ander the title “What May I Hope?“ In the other volumes the author deal: with knowledge, ethic, faith. This time he inquires into the nature of hope. He feels that the last volume is really the culmination of the others. According to the author, mankind has a right and every reason to hope for a “Divine Kingdom.“ He admits, however, that the problems he has propounded cannot be answered for all alike. He feels thar each person must give his own answer in the light of his own experience and knowledge. It is a rather stimulating little book and will be enjoyed by those who like to dip into such problems. (Longmans, Green.) * * G . * 1 * .

Using this philosophy ih conjunction with a study of the history of the na- tions of the earth, Mr. Maxim presents an array of arguments for preparation, not for war, but against war, which overwhelm the reader. The wealth of the United States, and its defenseless condition, he says, form a very tempting morsel for the nations abroad. Mr. Maxim depicts, in a realistic word pieture, the effects of war, should the United States be drawn into a conflict. He tells of the inefficiency of the navy and of the superiority of the navies of He gives a further | realistic picture of what would happen | to the United States if the navy of the “pposing nation should defeat the navy of the United States. How an army of from 100,000 to 200,000 men could be easily landed on this continent, armed with the most modern munitions of war, troops trained for years. Then he gives statistics of what would happen to the army of the United States, how they would be annihilated. The book is divided into a number of chapters, each considering a certain sub- sect in connection with the study of preparation, not for war, but against war, the inferior equipment of the United States and the superiority of. the other nations in that regard, placed side by side, always closed by a strong argu- ment for preparation. The pacifists and their logic are scored time and again in the book. Mr. Maxim, claiming that while ‘the pacifiéts are probably sincere in their logic against preparation, they are entirely wrong. He says in the book that he is for peace as much as any one in the Unite4 States, but the only Way to secure peace is te have an army and navy of such proportions, and a civilian army ready for war, should war be needed that the other nations will, of necessity, respect it. The beneficial results of a mili- tary training are also considered, such as the military system of Switzer- land, where each man is a. soldier, capable of doing service when service is needed. Mr Maxim cites the high- er type of citizens who would be evolved from such a training for the young men of the country: claiming | that they would secure the priceless habit of obedience, and that the young men would acquire a greater alert- ness and quickness by such a training than otherwise. The substitution of an international court for the settlement of the die- ficulties is also considered. This, ac- cording to Mr. Maxim, woul’ not be at all practical. He gives ae hie rea sons, the way the treaties of the past rave been termed “mere scraps of paper,” and that should such 4 coun- eil of nations be formed, the nations of power would dominate the poll- cies of the council, making it op- pressive for the smaller and weaker nations. The book contains some valuable information concerning war muni- tions and their uses, with which the average layman is not familiar. (Hearst's International Library Co.) A GREAT NATURALIST.

DEN PHILLPOTTS, E writer of the calm, e phrase - loving. ploture- und philosophical school of literature, Whose pupils are only too few, has just pub- lished another of his masterpieces, ‘Old Delabole.” It is a book not to be read in a night or hurriedly. It is to be read slowly. Its phrasing must be rolied leigurely under the tongue to get ‘the true flavor. The plot doesn't amount to much.

There are two old men in the story whose divergent philosophies furnish the (real meat of the narrative—the real worth while part of the book. They discuss religion and other topics of a heavy years, but with a sympathy and understanding that makes it delightfgl to sit at their feet and partake of their wisdom. Minor characters in the book are well delineated. Old Delabole’’ ts perts and writers of the movie school: of fiction.

T was the hour appointed for Mr. | Rangle and Mr. Soper and the dash- ing bachelor, Jack Silver, to arrive to play a friendly game of five-cent limit, poker in the Jarr dining room—by the gracious permission of Mrs. Jarr. “Now, don't forget.“ whispered Mrs. Jarr when the doorbell rang, “to start the conversation about Willie wanting a bicycle for Christmas and little Emma wanting a set of furs. If Jack Silver is not too selfish, and all bachelors are self- ish, he certainly will say, ‘I should love to get the children those things, if you'll permit me.“ Of course we'll murmur we couldn't think of such a thing, and then I know Willie and Emma will whimper and ery, and Jack Silver will insist.” “And forget all about it when Christe mas comes,” said Mr. Jarr. „Oh, no, he won't forget it, replied Mrs. Jarr. “I'll send him a nice Christ- mas card the day before Christmas, and i'll write on it, ‘and little Willie and little Emma also wish you a merry Christmas.’ That will remind him. And if it doesn’t, well, he needn't come to ‘his house any more, and I'll do my best to get him married to some gir! who will make him pay for his selfish- ness! By this time the visitor who had rung the doorbell below had arrived. It was not Mr. Silver, however. It was the ever-affable Mr. Charles Soper. Our English cousin has an expressive slang term for the genial false-alarm genius of the Charlie Soper type. They call them “Swankers.” And the Charlie Soper Une of conversation is known in London as swanking.“ Mr. Soper was hardly off with his hat before he was on with his swank. “How de do, how de do, Mrs. Jarr!”’ he cried. “How well you're looking! I must call for you in my car and take you and the children for a spin some of these days. Now, don’t say no! It's a closed car, a twin-six lLi- mousine—no danger of pneumonia— and we'll run down to my little place in the country—I keep it open all the vear around—and I'll send the car back to town for Mr. Jarr—we'll make it a Saturday—an4 you can bring your things and stay the week- end with me. Don't say no, I have eight masters’ roomt—spare bed- rooms, you know-— and I'll have a pony and cart for the children. 1 have an old colored mammie cook— vou know what that means?” Mr. Jarr knew what it meant. There's no such animal as the gen- uine old Southern colored mammie cook: It ts a character in fiction. Mr. Rangle arrived next and eyed the affable Mr. Soper as though he were a strange bug—which indeed he Was. In due time Jack Silver, the opulent vachelor friend, arrived. He was cor- dial in his greeting to all present, even to Mr. Soper, when the latter presented his gold cigarette case containing the specia! cigarettes made for him, accord- ing to Mr. Soper, by the chief cigarette maker of the Shah of Persia. And so swanked he those whom swonking swanketh. Mrs. Jarr was in such a flutter that it Was some time before she had WII- lie voleing his desire for a bicycle for (‘hristmas. “Oh, don't get him a bicycle!“ cried Mr. Soper in alarm when Jack Silver remarked he wouid buy one for the boy. “A boy on a bicycle hasn't a chance for his life with the streets full of autos!” Mr. Silver in alarm withdrew his offer. Then Mrs. Jarr mentioned that at least the gift the little ‘arr girl desired was safe—a fur set. Sate! cried Mr. Soper, aghast. “safe? No child of mine should wear furs. Sinee the war furs are full of an- thrax and anthrax is death!“ Having thus cast gloom and disap- pointment all around him, the . local champion heavyweight swanker re- marked, “But I thought we were going to have a littie game of five-cent ante. You know, I never gamble. But five- eent ante isn’t gambling. it's petty lar- deny.“ Mra.
