NEW KIND OF SHOES MADE IN GERMANY WITHOUT LEA. HER Uppers Manufactured Out of Linen Salicioth and Scles of Wood Veneer. BERLIN, Dec.

The uppers are made of gray or black t linen sail-cloth, which at a little distance is not easily distinguish- able from leather, and the soles are mit bringing up a constitutional amend- Bitter Against Mother-in-Law. The young wife shows bitterness against her mother-in-law,-who, she says, influenced Northrop against her, and referred to her contemptuously as a dancer and an actress. Miss Smith, before her marriage, was known as a graceful dancer, and danced with Northrop at social functions here and at the Sunset Hill Country Club, St. Louis. She was never known here as a professional dancer or an actress. Mrs. Northrop says that, later in their travels, they were in a like em- barrassing position in the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel in New York, and that when her husband failed to raise the $300 needed to pay their bill she was oblige4 to write to her cousin in St. Louts for it. This cousin, she says, is a former Mayor of St. Louis. About this time, she avers, her mother- in-law appeared and tried to part them. Before the marriage, she alleges, the elder Mrs. Northrop “offered her son $10,000 to give up “that woman,“ she and an actress. The mother, the bill says, refused any aid at first, but finally consented to allow Northrop $1.2 a day, and for two weeks only, and of it he spent 75 cents f. day for cigarettes, the wife says. They took an apartment on Riverside Drive, she relates, and then attended a week-end party made up of “widows, married women and grass widows" and a number of single men, at the summer home of a rich New York woman at Great Neck, L. I. Asked to Leave Party, She Says. At this party, according to Mre. Nor- throp, the men spent their time mak- ing love to the married women and flirt- ing with everyone.” The bill says that the husband, exceeding the general gay- ety of the party, went to such extremes in his conduct that they were asked to leave the place, other guests having complained. ' One night when Mrs. Northrop was gone all night, and, according to her husband’s charge, returned looking all worn out,” she explains that she was staying at a hotel “with a cousin of Jene Addams, of New York and Chi- cago.”’ Mrs. Northrop alludes to the charge made in her husband's crossbill, that she was with a stranger“ at a Yale- Princeton football game. She says this stranger“ was a close friend of her uncle, the uncle being a noted Philadelphia physician. Northrop Told of Father's Wealth. Mre. Northrop tells of statements made to her by Northrop during their courtship, to the effect that hie late father had made his money with the Gould family in the railroad and re- frigerator car business, and was worth $2,000,000. She tells of the sale of the Northrop home in St. Louis (23 Washington terrace) for $250,000. (The house is now the home of J. M. Hays, and Mrs. Northrop lives at the Westmoreland Hotel, Maryland ani Taylor avenues.) In her o divorce suit, filed in September, young Mrs. Northrop alleged pen-support, demking and cruelty. The husband's cross-bill was not made pub- lic, but the wife, through her lawyers, learned of the allegations, and she has said that the cross-bill charged her with associating wita other men, drinking to excess and dancing wild“ dances. * She Gentes all these char es. In an referred to, it is charged, as a dancer “This paper, with its British-born Mr. Rathom, has done its utmost to create an almost hysterical suspicion of spy throughout the country in order to prej- udice public opinion against Germany. Free Press” Not Understood. “We Germans -do not understand what you call your ‘free press.“ Our laws allow the fullest personal lib- erty consistent with the velfare of the State. But we do not permit the diplomatic represehtative of friendly governments to be insulted ad libi- tum or our Government to be em- barrassed in its dealings with other nations nor men's reputations to be wantonly sacrificed by the Wild and reckless utterances of an frreponsibie press like the Providence Jéurtal. And I venture to predict that in sheer self-defense you will be forced to take like measures, notwithstand- ing the dangerous power of your prees. “While our enemies have been and are being supplied from this country with all forms of death-dealing muni- tions of war without which they would have long since been overcome, I have been denounced from one end of the country to the other for having been concerned at the outset of the war in chartering ships to supply our cruisers at sea with coal and food as though it were a crime instead of being, as it is and has been considered by your court, to be strictly lawful act. The ships that brought coal, provisions and supplies from Hongkong to Admiral Dewey's fleet during the Spanish-American War in 1898 were cleared for Macao and not for the American warships at sea and in their clearance papers it was stated that the cargo consisted of scrap iron. “Peace Will Come Soon.” In this connection I may cite one of the leading American newspapers which said on Dec. 5 in regard to the recall of my colleague, Capt. von Papen, and myself; ‘It will be worth considerab!e to us if we keep our sense of propor- tion working and do not permit preju- dice to shut out our perspective.’ “It is my heartfelt hope that the United States and Germany, which have sO many common interests, will always maintain their friendly relations; that peace will come soon and that the abatement of passion will enabie all Americans to have for Germany and Germans the same good will as for- merly. “I say good-by to all my personal friends in this country, thanking them fer the innumf@rable evidences of friend- snip I have received at their hands, and express my gratitude to those who have remained impaftial and unbiased in a war, the bloodshed and misery of which the world has never seen the like be- fore.

Paulson Ball, son of Philip Ball, base- ball magnate, was withdrawn at Clay- ton today by Mrs. Elsing’s attorney, James E. McCann. When the suit was filed Dec. it was said that Mrs. Elsing had followed Ball trom Australia to sue him on the ground that he had refused to marry her after proposing and being accepted while traveling to Sydney, Australia, in De- cember, 1913. Attorney McCann, in withdrawing the suit, made no explanation of his action. Philip Ball, when asked if he knew why the suit had been withdrawn, said any explanation should come from Mc- Cann. When told rumors of a settie- ment had been circulated Ball said: ‘That is a lle. I never paid that woman 1 cent. the suit because we were prepared to show she was married, and therefore could have no cause of action in a breach of promise case.“ Simon L. Swarts, attorney for Philip Ball and J.

Belleville Because of Veiled Threat in Accompanying Messages. Philip Sopp. Postmaster of Belle- ville, today isstved an order to all clerks handling mall to watch for postal cards bearing an “endless chain prayer,” of Which hundreds of copies have lately been sent to resi- dents of Belleville. The cards and the message which usually accom- panies them, will not be delivered to the persons to whom they are ad- dressed, the Postmaster said. The ‘Postmaster said he took this action at the request of a leading physician, who did not wish his name made public. This physician, he said, complained that the threat of mis- fortune to those who should not strictly fulfill the conditions accom- panying the prayer had affected the nerves of some persons, and in cer- tain cases had almost caused demen- tia. Calls Cards a Menace. ‘The physician, when seen by a Post- Vispatch reporter, sald he considered the “endless chain” prayer postal card to be a serious menace to the mental balance of the community. He said women had come to him, trembling with fear, and had related that they re- ceived one of the postal cards, and failed to copy it and send out a copy every day fur nine days, as thé mes- sage accompanying the prayer requires them to do. In this way, they feared, they m have incurred the “great misfortune” at which the message hints, and in spite of all the physician could say, it was not possible to relieve them of the fear that calamity was hanging over them. The prayer, which has not the sanc- tion of any religious body, so far as is known, ie the same which was circulat- ed in St. Louis, several years ago, and was at that time denounced by the au- thorities of the Catholic church, who advised Catholics to pay no attention to the anonymous messages. . The prayer itself is short and is con- sidered harmiess, and it is the accom- pahying message that does the mischief. Contents of Cards.

GERMAN FAILURE TO ATTACK SALONIKI WAS A SURPRISE Allies Expected to Be Followed When They Retreated From Servia Movement Now Expected in Middle of January. ~ 2 By Richard Harding Davis. (Copyright, 1915, by Richard Harding Davis.) PARIS, Dec. 28.—Eight days ago, when I left Saloniki, traveling directly here, the situation was expected to remain without change. for one month Then, it was believed, the allies either would advance into Servia against the Bulgarians or the Germans and Austrians would lay siege to Saloniki. When thé allies withdrew upon Sa- loniki Dec. 13 and began to dig in, and the Greeks evacuated the city, all be- lieved that not the Buigarians, but cer- t.inly the Germans,. would follow on the heels uf the withdrawal, unless they were utterly exhausted. Seeing this, thousands of residents of every nationality fled from Salonikl by boats, trains and carriages, but to the great surprise and satisfaction of the Allles the enemy took no advantage of the opportunity to pursue the armies — — pride the King's words to the Indian veterans: “Before you leave France I send my dear, gallant son, the Prince of Wales, who has shared with my armies the hardships of the campaign, to thank you in my name.’ The news from the other war fronts continues to show no important develop- ments. The Russians are winning suc- cesses against weaker enemy hostile forces in Persia; the British in Mesopo- tamla have had some severe fighting with the Turks without materially al- tering the situation. The resumption of German submarine activity is evidenced by the sinking of a half dozen ships in the last 24 hours, with the loss of 80 lives, in the case of the French steamer, Ville de la Ciotaat, while two boatioads of the crew are missing in the case of the Belgian steamer Ministre Beernaert.

The parliamentary bers of the British Cabinet returned hurriedly from the scenes of their *Christmas festivities for an important meeting at which were discussed the Derby scheme and other matters which must be threshed out when Parliament situa- tion continues full of uneasy rumors and Some changes in the Cabinet are being widely talked of.

The Times’ parliamentary correspond ents aseerts that the position is unde niably delicate and may become critical today unless handled with firmness and on. The Daily Mail asserts that Andrew Bonar Law, Secretary for the Colonies, and Lord Kitchener, the War Minister, have not yet made their position clear, while A. J.

The Chronicle editorially protests against “intriguers and wire pullers who contemplate the desperate and mad expedient of a general election — gambler’s plunge, which might entall disastrous consequences —and points out how, by merely withhold- ing its assent to the Parliament and registration bills, the House of Lords can make elections unavoidable next month, since, in the absence of the Parliament bill, which prolongs its life for eight months, the present Parliament would expire by the ef- fluxion of time at the end of Janu- 2 Compared te Lincoln Time.

BERLIN, by Wireless to Sayville, Dec. 8 —Seizure by the British Government of American mail from two steamships on their way to Holland is reported in a Rotterdam dispatch given out today by the Overseas News Agency. According to the news agency's dis- patch the vessels from which mail was taken were the Dutch steamship Nieuw Amsterdam, from New York Dec. 11 for Rotterdam, and the Norwegian steam- ship Christian Michelsen, from New for Rotterdam. Advices from Rotterdam, the news agency also states, are that British authorities took from the steamer Tubantia, a Dutch vessel plying be- tween Amsterdam and South Ameri- can ports, all the South American mail for Holland she had on board. 5 9, The foregoing does not make it clear whether the mail seized included any first-class matter or, as is more prob- able, consisted of parcel post shipment. The United States on Dec. 20 addressed A protest to Great Britain on the sub- ject of British interference with Swed- ish-American mail. The British Gov- ernment has taken the stand that parce) rost matter must be regarded as freight, exempt from the protection given first-class matter under the in- ternational postal convention. Wash- ington is understood to have concurred fh this view. 2890 Parcela Taken From Ship New York-Bound From Scandinavia. NEW YORK, Dec. 2%—The steamer United States, which arrived today from Scandinavian ports, reported that on Dec. 13 she was stopped east of the Shetland Isles by a British cruiser and taken to Greenock for examination. There the British removed 1961 small parcels and 930 parcel post packages. The steamer was released on the 18th. Because they were held five days at Greenock, the 20 American citizens aboard the United States drew up a vigorous protest against the action of the British Government and will for- ward it to Secretary Lansing. They point out that in being taken to Green- ock the ship was exposed to mine fields. Capt. Gotsche of the United States protested when the parcels were re- moved. During the ship's detention at Greenock an armed guard was main- tained aboard by the British, but the passengers were in no way molested. Not even their passports were inspect- ed. Allies Intend to Examine All Mall Between U. S. and Neutrals, WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—The alles, it is explained here, intend to seize and examine all mail passing between the United States and the European neu- trals which there is reason to believe is intended for Germany. Hitherto the seizures of that sort have been confined to parcel post, but now it is said the allies are going to extend the search to first-class postal matter. In justification of the action, it is said the allies will first plead military neces- stiy and, second, that there is no in- violability of mail to the Teutonic Pow- ers, because Turkey did not subscribe to the Hague convention which covers. it. For that reason, it is contended the other belligerents are excused from respecting it. 2 bridge builder and a member of the In- Furtoermore, the action is based on an article in The Hague convention which provides that immunity on seiz- ure of mall shall not apply to corre- spondence destined for or proceeding from a blockaded port.“ INCREASED Employes to Get $600,000 More Than Ter Did Last Year.

Kitchen, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch ang the New York Werld. BRUSSELS, Nov. 10.—Before I had Leen here 24 hours I was in possession of all important facts of the famous Ca- vell base abtainable from German sources. In addition to statements from his excellency, Baron von Bissing, the sdilitary Governor of Belgium, and hiss excellency, Baron von der Lancken, the Civil Governor, I had the case explained to me in detail by the officials at the Nesse Central. I aleo discussed the sad affair with the Rev. H. 8. T. Gahan, the English cler- By man, who spent many hours with Miss Cavell before she was executed; with Mr. Brand Whitlock, the American Min ister, and Mr. Hugh Gibson, the First Secretary of the American lega tion. Obviously neither Mr. Whitlock nor Mr. Gibson could discuss the case for publication further than to say that fhey mede every effort to save the unfortu- rate woman's life. However, I am not violating newspaper ethics when 1 state that Mr. Whitlock cOrroborated many of the statements made to me by the Gcrman offficials, Here are the essential facts of the case as I obtained them in the Belgian capital: First, Miss Edith Cavell, head nurse at the Chirurgical Hospital in Brus- sels, was guilty of the offense of ald- ing English, French and Belgian sol- diers (as well as men of military age) to escape over the Belgian frontier. Not only was she found gullty of the offense by a courtmartial, but she ad- mitted her guilt. This fact is corrobo- rated by the American Minister and ia beyond dispute. She Did Not Faint. Second, the execution was carried out in the usual manner. Miss Cavell. did not faint on the way to her death. She Was not shot while lying unconscious, and the firing squad did not bungle thelr work. The published reports that the first volley did not kill her and that the officer of the firing squad ended her life with a revolver bullet are pure in- vention. So, too, is the story that the members of the firing squad protested at carrying out the orders for the exe- cution. I have it from His Excellency Baron von Bissing that the execution was carried out in the usual manner.“ And the Rev. II. S. T. Gahan admitted to me that Miss Cavell went to her deatn bravely. “It was horrible enough with- out the unfortunate exaggeration of de- talls,“ he said. All of which ought to put an end to the many stories of revolting details in connection with the case which have been circulated in England and Amer- ican papers. a Third, Baron von Bissing could not have pardoned Miss Cavell after her conviction by a courtmartial without exceeding his military function. Von Haeseler Responsibie. It will be recalled that in our Civil War sples were saved from execution only by appeal to President Lincoln. who interfered in a number of con- spicuous cases. Similarly in this case the only appeal was to the Kaiser, who had no cognizance of the affair until after the execution. The man to hold responsible for the execution was Mu- jor-General von Haeseler, the military commander of the district in which the offense was committed. Fourth, Baron von Lancken, the Civil Governor, to whom the American Min- ister appealed to save the life of the unfortunate woman, could not have done so. He is obviously powerless to interfere in military affairs. Mr. Whit- lock tried to have him notify the Kaiser that Miss Cavell was under sentence of death. As it was purely a military matter, he did not feel called upon to interfere. In fact, it would have been a breach of etiquette if he had. High Regard for Whitieck. “ft have the highest regard for Mr. Whititock,” said Baron von Lancken to the writer. We all have the highest regard for Mr. Whitlock,” he added, “He is a remarkable man. But I am powerless to interfere in military af- fairs You must discuss’ the Cavell case with the Military Governor. I am sure he will be glad to place all the facts at your disposai.” informed him. day after a residence of % years. | said, * 1 R T cad o86," Be Fis ee 1 K + “rt have seen Baron von Bissing,” 1 Gen. von Bissing, the Military Gov- ernor of Belgium, whom I saw in his office overlooking the gardens near the Palais Royale. was most polite and solicitous for my welfare. He greeted me with 1 tic of hand- shakes and before I could begin inter- viewing him he was interv rviewing me. ‘Bo you came to Brussels to mag about the Cavell case?

After I had reassured him on these points he Said: “The Cavell woman was found gulity of the offense of aiding English, French and Belgian soldiers to escape from Bel- gium. In times of war this offense is punishable by death in all countries. The Cavell woman was accordingly exe- cuted. “I may add that she was not a young woman, who did not realise what she was doing. She was a woman of ®, strong willed and determined to carry out her dangerous work at all costs. not necessary for you to come to Brus- sels to learn this.” “But the entire civilised world is in- terested in the case,” I protested. “I cannot understand why,” he replied frankly. ‘‘With all the thousands of in- nocent people who have died in the War. why should any one become hysterical over the death of one guilty woman!“ “Because she was a woman,” I in- terrupted. “Exactly,” agreed his excellency. “Very Serious Offense.” “Why was it necessary to execute her? Couldn't she have been placed in prison?“ I asked. I am glad that you ask this,” he rcplied, drawing his chair closer to his large flat-top desk, which was covered with papers, *books and several photo- graphs in silver frames. This Cavell woman was guilty of a very serious of- fense. According to her own admission she aided 130 men of military age, Eu- glish, Belgium and French, to escape from Belgium. Many of these men are now fighting with the enemy—naturally the case was not one to be overlooked, “A few years in prison is not suf- llelent punishment for an offense of this kind For punishment in a case of this nature is meted out to deter others from Cavell woman had been sent to prison she would have been released in two or nesty is usually granted to all prisoners convicted espionage and so forth, when peace is made. “Spy System Uncovered.” “We have only recently uncovered a big spy system here in Belgium.

I will not go into details, but I will say that this Cavell woman was aware of their activities—had guilty knowledge of much of their work. Such a system of spying assalls our very safety and we proceeded to stamp it out. “The Cavell woman was not charged with espionage. The charge of aiding the enemy’s soldiers to escape which was made against her was sufficiently serious. Her death was deplorable—but I do not see why it should occasion such hysterta in America. In England yes. There are many hysterical per- sons in England, and England is at war with Germany.” I informed his excellency that many people in Berlin—even high officiale—re- garded the execution as a political blun- der, in view of the delicate situation in Belgium. “Very interesting, very he commented.

While former Judge Henry 8. Priest in St. Louls is issuing threats to have B. F. Yoakum ousted as chairman of the existing board of directors of: the Frisco Railroad, and Yoakum, in New York, is evading the direct charges made by Priest relative to personal profits made by Yoakum on “Frisco deals, not hitherto revealed in official investigations, the question which is worrying the stockholders and bondhold- eres is how they are going to protect their interests. Bondholders Interests Paramount. As the interests of the bondholders are paramount to those of the stockhold - ers, it is within the power of the bond- holders to foreclose on the railroad, and thus eliminate the stockholders as a factor in the reorganization of the road. Priest belongs to the stockholding class, and if the road should be sold under the hammer he would lose all of the $375,000 .which he invésted in the stock of the Frisco at $37.50 a share, and before the receivership. Yoakum also is a heavy stockholder, and his interests also would be wiped out. A hint has been dropped by the re- organizers that an attempt will be made to have a new corporation created in another State to take over the Frisco properties, in which event, it is pointed out, Missouri would lose about §200,000 in incorporation fees. The Wabash Rail- road was incorporated in Indiana after the road had been sold under mortgage foreclosure, following the refusal of the Missouri Public Service Commission to approve the reorganization plans sub- mitted by the New York bankers and the bondholders and stockholders’ Re- organization €ommittee. The Post-Dispatch telegraphed to Yoa- swer the charges until he had the full statement before him, but asserted that if was apparent that Priest was trying to inject persunal matters into the re- organization. Yoakum declared he was! opposed to any plan to reorganize the railroad company in any other state | than Missouri. He said that corpora- creatures of the states in were created, and that the 275 25 Scene 8 8 n — the stoékholding interests. The bond- holders could now say, he said, that they had given the stockholders their oppor- tunity to come into the reorganization plan and protect their interests, but that since the stockholders had fought the plan and caused it to be rejected, the only thing left to be done was to fore- close. All that Yoakum, in his New York in- charges that he had made profits on Frisco deals, which have not been made public, was that profits accruing to him were open for the most rigid scrutiny. Yeoakum’s Defense of His Deals. It is known that Yoakum, when Priest attacks him to have him ousted as chairman of the Frisco board of direc- tors, will offer the defense that such individual profits as he made in the pro- motion and sale of feeder lines to the Frisco were forced upon him by the ne- cessity of carrying out extension plans to get the Frisco into new territory ahead of rival railroads. He will declare that he often traveled on horseback through long stretches of country in planning Frisco connections, and that in the promotion of his plans for building feeder lines it was necés- sary for him to personally subscribe for stock in pbuilding syndicates, as proof of his faith in proposed extensions, and to in@uce his friends to subseribe. The profits earried by the other subscribers to the syndicates, he will say, were en- tirety legitimate, and that the only ground for criticism against him is that he wae an official of the Frisco Rall- road while making profits on feeder lines promoted and constructed to be sold to the Frisco. é It has not been shown that Yoakum made any other profits than those ac- cruing to him from the syndicates which built” many of the Southwestern feeder lines, but Priest hinted in His inter- view that Yoakum made large profits dealing in Chicago & Eastern [iltnois Railroad stocks before that system was taken over by the Frisco, and that he also made large profits out of the Fort Scott & Memphis Railroad deal. Comments on Editorials. When a Post-Dispatch reporter asked Priest to elaborate on these statements with detailed facts, he guid that he was not ready to go into those matters. He gave out a second, written statement, with reference to an editorial in the Post-Dispatch, yesterday, in which he said: J notice this observation in an edi- torial of one of the afternoon papers: The worst threat of Judge Priest is his threat to attack the power of the commission to compel a sound re- organization plan.“ “Nothing that I said in my tnterview published in the Globe-Demoecrat this morning can be tortured into any such threat. What 1 did say in substance was that the Legislature had no power under our Constitution to confer either legisiative or judicial powers upon the and that the commission public policy, for the one is a judicial question and the ether legislative or judicial. “Except as to the three points men- tioned in my interview, and upon the terview, would say relative to Priest's : Mail Truck at Fourth and Chestnut Streets. terest when he saddled this property with $75,000,000 of obligations uselessly. He was unmindful of the interests of the stockholders when in saddling this, property with this large debt while still under a salary paid by them, he took secret profits in trades made for them.” Priest was employed by the late James Campbell te file the receivership suit against the Frisco Railroad. This was 4 friendly suit, not contested by the Frisco Railroad. The records of the Frisco Raltiroad show that Priest was poid $25,000 in cash a short time betoré the suit was filed. He explained that this represented an accumulation of fees for services he had rendered the railroad company during a considerable period of time. 3 He was appointed by the court to ve counsel for the receivers, At a salary of $13.000 a year, and his son-in-law, Thorm- as Bond, was appointed Interstate Com- mere Commission Counsel for the com- pany at a salary of $10,000 a year. He bas been paid about $70,000 for services in various capacities for the Frisco an‘ the receivers, in addition to his fees as counsel for the reorganization commit- tee. These are fees, however, that he probably would have received if he had not been a heavy stockholder in the Frisco, as he represented the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas & Jenas Railway companies in similar re- reivership actions. Telegrams Shown by Yoakum. When Yoakum was in St. Louis anrout three weeks ago he exhibited copies of telegrams signed by Festus J. Wade, and sent to the bankers in New York, m which it was stated that the St. Touls stockholders, including Pricst, were willing that Yoakum should be made a member of the »oard cf che new company. To these telexrams Bpeyer & Co. replied that they would use their influence to have VYeakum elected to the board if he would depusit his stock, as the other stockholders hail done, and make no objection to the re- organization plans. It is stated, however, that the revr- ganization committee never’ inter ded that Yoakum should be el rted chair- man .f the new board, ani t has been repeatedly charged that fe made his fight against the reorganization plans fer that reason.

Chouteau had paid a $20 tax as a commission broker in grain, but had overlooke4, the other matter. Under the law, failure to pay the tax in- volves a maximum penalty of a $500 fine and six months’ imprisonment, either or both.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. PEKIN, Dec. 3.— The Pekin papers publish what purports to be an interview given to a high official by President Yuan Shi Kai. While this interview Wat not officially authorized by the Gov- ernment, it is regarded as an inspired statement designed to quiet the popular mind. A translation follows: . “Diplomacy counts everything that makes for the maintenance of the coun- try’s position in the world; but we should adopt a peaceful policy toward foreign Powers and at the same time etdeavor to put our house in order. Only in this way can the country ud ize its latent power to maintain its in- dependence and obtain respect for it fureign policy. International Morality. Whatever foreign policy the country will adopt, it will not depart from the principle of international morality. We shall make closer relations with tiie lowers which have shown us kindness and good will and those which are close at our doors. We should not fail to grasp any opportunity to settle out- standing diplomatic questions with our neighbors. “In former times the Government was often troubled by diplomatic questions which could have been settled without difficulty had not the party in power missed the opportunity or caused II feeling among foreigners. The dipio- matic policy of this country should be carried out in a spirit of peace and good will with the object of settling all out- standing questions with friendly Pow- ers. We are sure that the foreign Pow- ers will always act upon the principle of international morality and have great respect for the sovereignty of other countries.

Suppose now some of the foreign Powers approach us with. @ request to do a certain thing. Our power to resist would be determined by looking at the general tendency of the world and reading those signs ot the times that indicate the possibilities of the future, This is the guiding prin- ciple that I shall go by in determining my future diplomacy. “What we expect is that there will de no diplomatic questions to worry us. As to the rumor that this country is now acting at the dictation of other countries, it is a view that is shared by only short-sighted people.

Frank R de Villiers, a prisoner at Central District Station on a charge of being a fugitive from justice, was a ‘rival of Caruso, in the estimation of Canon City (Colo.) society, for a time, but now he is charged with defrauding two young women of money and jewelry and of giving worthless checks in pay- ment for a banquet which-he gave to hia girl admirers when he was about to depart from Colorado. Sheriff William H. Newcomb of Canon City told the story at police headquarters today. De Villiers, who has a tenor voice, was singing, “How Brightly the Stars Shine Tonight.“ at the plano in the home of Mrs. F. Wieners, 5088 Cabanne ave- nue, and Mrs. Wieners! daughter was accompanying him when detectives ar- rested him Christmas eve. He was a roomer there. “Those stars you gentlemen wear were not the ones I was singing about,” he said with a smile when detectives re- vealed their identity. Reticent About Case. At police headquarters De Villiers, who is 27 years old, and of striking per- sonality, maintained a polite but strict silence about his flight from Canon City. He said that he was. wanted there for a breach of trust and that is all the detectives knew about his case until the Sheriff arrived this morning. De Villiers appeared in Canon City about nine months ago. according tv Newcomb. Shortly afterward, at a re- cital there, he won the admiration of his audience by his singing. He later joined the Methodist Church and was invited to sing in the choir. He became so popular with the girls that he in- duced them to join a dancing club—a thing strictly forbidden by the pastor of the congregation. For that infraction he was asked to leave the church. He told his friends that creed was not going to stop him singing in a choir and he joined the Presbyterian Church, ac- cording to the Sheriff. His popularity continued and at many social functions he was the lion, Newcomb said. ity to read human nature, pronounced de Villiers as a most desirable young beau. Among the girls with whom De Vil- liers associated were Misses Alice Clapp end Isabelle Maud Powers, members of families in Grand Rapids, Mich., who were sojourning in Canon City. A_few Weeks ago Miss Clapp returned to her home and shortly afterward De Villiere tired of Canon City. He wrote to Miss Siapp, the Sheriff said, requesting the lean of fun“s with which to get to Grand Rapids and she sent him $60. Gives Banquet to Friends. Then De Villiers made thé occasion of his departure a big affair. He in- vited his choir associates and other friendg to a banquet at which, ac- cording to the Sheriff, he expended $17.50 for “extras” alone. He paid for everything with checks, bought himself clothes and traveling acces- sories. In all he gave out 17 checks for amounts ranging’ from 32.50 to $25. All of them proved worthless, the Sheriff said. After De Villiers had gone Miss Pow- ers reported the theft of jewelry val- ued at $110 which disappeared, she said, while De Villiers was visiting her. That's about the way it happened, said the prisoner after hearing the Shér- it's story. “Once I got started playing the society racket I just couldn't stop. It was all so easy. I had never been anything but a clerk and the folks ai Canon City thought I was a regular Caruso.“ CLOCK TICKS OUT BURGLAR ALARM AND THIEF IS CAUGHT Mrs. Mary Joerder of 2708 Marke: street thought she heard a familiar sound descending the stairway from the second to the first floor of her home at 5 o'clock last night. She listened at- tentively and when convinced that the Lond was the ticking of an old clock that had been in her family for genera- tions, she went into the hall to invest gate. Sure enough, there was the old clock coming down the stairs. It was under the arm of a negro burglar, and Mra. Joerder, being unafraid of burglars, seized the intruder by the coat collar ani summoned her son. The burglar was held by the Joerde:s until policemen were summoned by neighbors. At the Laclede avenue sta- tion he said that he was Ear! Foster, years old, of 223 Walnut street. Real War Seen in Garrick Film Show. Moving pictures of the war. taken from and within the German lines, are being displayed this week at the Gar- rick Theater, under the title On the Firing Line With the Germans.” The modern method of making war on an unseen enemy, largely by machinery, is made clear, but it is also shown that the element of personal daring is just as important as ever. This is particu- larly true in the views of the aviators’ work. The entrance of the German army into East Pruasian towns previ- ously taken and partially destroyed by the Russians, is another striking fea- ture. A strong contrast between the pomp of war and its deadly realities appears in a comparison of the grand review ‘scene, where thousands of sol- diers swing over the plain, and the field of Warsaw, where the total of deaths is said to have exceeded that of Gettys- burg. Not only the sending of war's Bo aa ey 12 3 mo“ Letter Was Doctored : and a VForgery:. William. K. Bixby, president of the Board of Control of the Art Museum, will tissue within a few days a formal statement, that the board has inves- tigated the “Dear Boy” letter, made public early in November, and has exonerated R. A. Holland, director, aud Miss Madeline Borggracte, secre- tary of the museum, of any connec- tion with it. A Post-Dispatch learned that the board decided that the letter was a composite of several letters written by Miss Borggraefe to Director Hol- land, on official busines of the mu- seum, and that the term “Dear Boy” and other endearing expressions, which caused the investigation, were interpolated; hence that the letter was, in effect, a forgery. How the origina! of the letter came into the board's hands is not known, as Bixby, Holland and Mayor Kiel have refused to make any statement which would show this. The letter was gent to Chairman Rogers of the Effi- cioncy Board by an anonymous writer, and said he had found it in Forest Park. Rogers sent it to the Mayor, and although the text of the letter was printed in the Post-Dispatch and other papers, the Mayor refused Bixby’s first request for the original, and sald he would give it only to Hol- land, or at his request. MAN SLUGGED AND ROBBED LIES. IN SNOW FIVE HOURS Frank Vaneck Unconscious When Found on Vacant Lot—Says Negro Attacked Him. George McGarry of 3012 Market street stumbled over the form of an uncorn- scious man in the snow on a lot at Car- dinal avenue and Dexter street at 10:15 c’clock last night. When revived at the city hospital the man said that he is Frank Vaneck, 23 years old, living at 3700 French avenue. He said he left the office about 56:30 p. mr., and when crossing the lot he was accosted by a negro who struck him on the jaw with a blunt instrument. Vaneck says he was robbed of $30 and a gold watch. WHERE there's a will there's a way to wear and own a fine, genuine diamond or rive one for a holiday present.

Correspendence of the Post-Dispatch, ZURICH, Switzerland, Dec. 15.—De- scribing a recent visit to the German fleet, Dr. Otte Gaup writes in the Muenchener Neueste Nachrichten: Our silent fleet,“ say the English. Our si- lent fleet, can we also say with equal right, which still and earnest, unseen and unmarked, day and night, summer and winter, in storm and in sunshine, stands on guard in the North Sea and in the Baltic, thereby playing a role, of whose higher, I might also say more decisive importance, only a few among us can have any conception. We hear of our submarines, which have so embit- tered England's sea supremacy, but who has heard for months of our great bat- tleships, our large and small cruisers, our ever increasing torpedo boats, which stand behind these submarines and make their successful activities pos- sible. “One need not be long, with the fleet to be convinced that the strictest se- crecy in war, is for it ven more nec- essary than for the army. On the war- ship one gets the impression of enor- mous concentrated force, and power of movement, of which a mobilized fleet is capable. A curt command, and doz- ens and still dozens of gigantic guns fire enormous shot, it may be at a distance of 2 kilometers. Another com- mand and a few hours later the fleet are many miles from their first posi- tion. Ships in action must carry ev- erything they need, for battle and ex- istence, there are no reserves for them, no impassable ways, they cross the wa- ters with the speed of railway trains and a few hours’ journey can bring a uecigive battle on the result of which the fate of world empires may cepend. One need only think a little to under- stand the absolute necessity that noth- ing at all should be made public re- garding the movements, the location, the composition of the fleet.“ ILLINOIS. RAILROAD OPENING DELAYED BY WAR ORDERS Owners of East St. Louls-Caseyville Line Caunot Get Steel Conl Cars Contracted For. The war demand for iron and steel has delayed the owners of the new East St. Louis & Caseyville Railroad, who are also the owners of coal mines at Caseyville, in their plans for beginning operation of the line. Because the rail- road cannot be placed in use next week, as had been intended, it has been de- cided to sun the mines on half-time for the present. The new railroad is eight miles long, and is completed as to track and other stationary equipment. Its order for stee, coal cars Was placed with a plant in Koeppel, Pa., and Joseph E. Gundlach, head of the railroad and mining cor- poration, was lately notified that, be- cause of the demand caused by war or- lers, the Koeppel firm had been unable to get the raw material to fill the rall- road order. $5.50—DETROIT & RETURN Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, via Clover Leaf Route.

Glover, 72.years old, only son of the late Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder of the Christian Science religion, died yesterday at his home in the Black Hilis, near here. Glover had lived in the Hills for several years. Glover at- tracted national attention before the death of Mrs. Eddy by instituting a suit in the Massachusetts courts to obtain a portion of his mother’s fortune. He was awarded upward of $20,000 after her death. He was not a Christian Scfentist. " @nn ’ BOY SCOUTS’ WORK PHAISED | we. Favorable comment was made, at the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival in the Coliseum Saturday afternoon, on the service rendered by the Boy Scouts They were on duty in the arena and in the aisles leading to the different sec- tions of seats, They helped restore lost articles and find lost children, and they did first-ald work in some small acci- dent cases. This was the first appearance of the Scouts in the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival, and the general opinion was that they proved their value.

In the course ot an interview Sunday with Gen. Castel- rau, chief of the French general staff, King Constantine expressed doubt that the central empires would be able to resist indefinitely the economic and - wncial pressure of the war, Gen. Cas- telnau said, in a statement to the Asso- ciated Press. The Greek sovereign asked the French commander why by the slowness of their operations the allies had permitted the crushing of. Belgium and Servia and the failure of the Dardanelles cam- paign. Gen. Castelnau’s reply was that nobody denied these unfortunate results which were extremely regrettable. “It would be most highly desirable,” the General declared, “if Belgium and Servia were still intact and if Russia could today: be revictualed by way of the Dardanelles, but we must see the war as a whole. It would be fully capable of jeopardizing final victory, of which alone we have the right to think, to undertake any m''itary action with- out the most complete preparation and every assurance of success humanly possible. “If material and forces are not avail- able, however painful the result of in- action may be, it is truly criminal to go off half cock. Remember the Crimea, Malakoff tower with flint locks and round cannon balls. Well, all the Ger- t wers with other rows behind. “But just as the Russians finally were forced to give up, so must the Germans, I have given three sons, I have two more; but their lives, too, will be paid if need be, that victory may be com- plete.” Constantine Reported age gry! Im- ressed as to Situation of Allies. ARIS, Dec. B. — An interview be- tween King Constantine and Gen. Cas- telnau is being’much discussed in of- Helal circles at dens.“ says the Matin. “The sovereign seems to have been im- pressed favorably by the General's clear exposition of the situation of the allies on all fronts. the assurance that his army never should not be doubted?” An Athens telegram to the Havas Agéricy’ says a message has been re- ceived from Fiorina, Greece, that Kinx Ferdinand of Bulgaria, Crown Prinee Boris and a German Prince, believed to be a son of Emperor William, have de- parted incognito for Monastir, in South- western Serv ‘la.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, TUESDAY 1 ͤ ; |... _A FAMILY OF NATIONS. | { The Wilson idea of Pan-Americanism, which was expounded to the second Pan-American Con- gress by Secretary Lansing, is a long step towards the Federation of the World, which is the dream of all who cherish the hope of human brotherhood and permanent peace. Pan-Americanism is internationalism as op- posed to nationallam— One for all and all for one.” Referring to the Monroe doctrine, which had * ite origin in the need of preserving this republic and republican institutions on this continent from European attacks, Mr. Lansing said its enlarged form is Pan-Americanism, in which all the repub- lies stand together for mutual defense of free gov- ernment in America and mutual protection against aggression from any source. One of the essentials to Pan-Americanism—the fundamental thing—is mutual confidence. The foundation of this is the absence of imperial am- bition and territorial greed. President Wilson’s abjuration of any desire for or design upon the territory and possession of our American neigh- bors, and our attitude towards Mexico—have done more than anything else to strengthen the tie that binds the Amreican republics together. Defining Pan-Americanism, Mr. Lansing said: When we attempt to analyze Pan-American- iam, we find that the essential qualities are these of the famfly—sympathy, helpfulness and a eincere desire to see another grow in prosperity, absence of ocovetousness of an- other's possessions, absence of jealousy of an- others prominence, and, above all, absence of Post- Dispatch Circulation anise that spirit of intrigue which menaces the do- mestic peace of a neighbor. Such are the qualities of the family tie among individuals, and sich should be, and I believe are, the qualities which compose the tie which unites the American Family of Nations. This is a fair vision of ultimate civilization, of nations growing rich and strong by co-operation. and mutual hel instead of robbing and impoverishing each other by aggression. Let us hope that the germ of integnational fed- eration, nourished here in America, the home of the democratic idea, may spread to other conti- nents. Burope, perhaps, seeing the ruin wrought by intense nationalism, with its greed, hatred, ambitions, jealousies, and seeing our example of peace and fraternity and the fruits of our union, may enter the family of nations when the war is over. i | tt + f 3 | 15 1 6 i ; 111 f f f 8 ‘ik | eee r a. a l N 2 3 N n Sen. . — ö 2711 A NEW HYPHENATED PERIL. ~ The assassination of Wong Yuen Yunk of San Francisco, ex-editor of the Asiatic News, is at- tributed to bitterness occasioned among Chinese in this country by the restoration of the mon- archy in China, which the dead man is said to have favored. Let us hope that this theory as to the motive for the murder is untrue. We are incurring loss of life and destruction of property and having a great deal of trouble generally because of the transfer to this side of the water of the political issues, causes of strife and racial recriminations that convulse Burope just now. We want no en- largement of our hyphenated anxieties. We should be spared the transfer to this country of causes of turmoil peculiar to Asia.

You might almost call it undemocratic democracy. It is the stuff that bolters have been made of, time out of mind. Nearly all would-be ‘leaders have it in violent form. It is rule or ruin and it nearly always ruins. The Ford expedi- has suffered from a plethora of star per- who had their own principles to live up and demanded that everybody else live them. Afterwards, if peace might be ac- complished, all well and good. It is urifortunate that a peace expedition so well- meant should break up in a row. The complete reformation of human nature, Hke charity, should begin at home. = * The Odlénd as u continuous candidate may out-Bryan Bryan. — —— Ä f n , τ eo one need shndder because Director Zach saw 3 coulé make it. For we have it on the authority Vechten, a well-known writer on subjects, that Irving Berlin ts a greater Edward Elgar. ve sat through many hearings of * 9 a e —1 do not even except Alexander's Rag-time Band’—which is more dance-compelling!” . It is becoming recognized more and more that the once-despised rag-time, which came up from the African jungles by way of the dance balls, possesses an energy and a vitality which expresses as no other music does the nervous, vigorous sweep of American life. Its life-blood is rhythm, which the ancient Greeks valued more highly than melody, and which today remains the most stir. ring element in music. The cause is perhaps physiological—the measured beat of the tom-tom has something of close kinship to the throbbing of the heart. / i i „ SUBMARINES AND ARBITRATION, R. D. Kohn has written the Post-Dispatch a good-tempered letter on our submarine issue with Austria, but betrays a confusion of ideas which it is to be hoped is not typical of many residents of this country. He says the President seems to think himself the “sole and final arbiter on the subject of sub- marine warfare.” He suggests that as the use of this craft was not contemplated by the interna- tional law and usage based on the past, we should recede from our position until the whole ques- tion has been decided by arbitration. But the operation of international law, until changed by competent authority, must necessarily remain unaffected by the invention of new wea- pons and new appliances in warfare. Most of the civilized usages of today were observed when com- batants were armed with spears and bows and ar- rows and crusaders’ maces. The Romans scorned to poison the sources of food and water supply For generations, persons of tender age, women, unarmed peaceful citizens have had an immunity greater than that accorded to them in the present. The President is not assuming to be the sole and final arbiter of the submarine issue. He is only invoking the law as he finds it for the fulfill- ment of his duty to pro American citizens. To resort to the slow processes of arbitration, while in the meantime the murder of Americans continued on the high seas, would be an absurdity and in the last analysis would lead to nothing. The only nations that would consent to limit the freedom of the seas and to make an exception of submarines under the general prohibition against the slaughter of noncombatants would be biased nations with a criminal record they desired to have exculpated. The sentiment of the world is against this form of warfare which offends humanity and common sense. Of that we may be as sure now as we could be after a congress of the nations had wrangled over the question at The Hague on the conclusion of the war. 5 Supposing positions were reversed, that Ger- many was at peace and America at war, and that German subjects were being killed by American submarines, as American citizens are being killed by German submarines. What does Mr. Kohn think the attitude of the Kaiser would be toward the practice? „ 8 A good many ot the Ford tourists resemble the “young person named Clyde,” who, accord ing to a popular verse, “was once at a funeral espied. When asked who was dead, he smiling- ly said, I don’t know, I just came for the ride.“ = = * W SNOW-PACKED SIDEWALES. Section 1234 of the City Code says that after any fall of snow, “the owners, managers, agents or occupiers shall cause the snow to be IMME- DIATELY REMOVED from the sidewalk fronting or adjoining the property owned,. managed or occupied by them into the carriageway of the street.” It is to be presumed that the city officials know that this ordinance is so urgent that it com- mands that the obedience be “immediate.” That, of course, is in the interest of life and limb as well as of convenience and cleanliness. People get maimed and sometimes killed because of packed snow on sidewalks. But the sidewalke all around the Courthouse have not been touched by the city since the last snow fall and are packed with snow. So are most of the sidewalks in front of stores, fac- tories, churches and residences, especially front- ing on vacant property. This is an annual complaint and every year sees its toll of victims to the neglect. The city should get to work at once and obey the law and compel the citizens to obey it. i FPRICE’S BEST INVESTMENT. The best investment Henry Frick ever made is ‘the $169,000 with which he reimburses the 41,000 Philadelphia school children whose savings “yent up” with the Union Savings Bank. It is a cheap investment, considering the amount of gratitude it will buy from the children, and good will from everybody else who hears about it. No mililons ever brought larger and surer re- turns. It is a safe investment. It is a long-time investment—it will never be forgotten. The real gilt-edged investments are those made without any security whatever, has outstripped all competitors in the matrimonial market.

OCRATES: ‘You were not down at the Agora S last night? Well, there was a rather large crowd out, and it was not long until we got around to what we have learned from the war. They all felt that the war had greatly influenced civiliza tion, and it was finally suggested that I say some- thing. I was, of course, glad to respond. I said that so far as I could see the greatest impression made upon civilization by the war was that to be left by the remarkable efficiency of the Germans. I thought that would be the one thing which au the nations which went into the war would seek to acquire as the result of their experience, and I doubted if there would ever again be such inefficiency in a great na tion as the beginning of the war found in countries like England and Russia. Glaucon: Never again. Socrates: I said as much. It struck me that I could see this influence stirring even here in our own country. You may call it militarism or what you will—the result is the same. Militarism is only the bed name for it. We are going in for it ourselves, Socrates Ne doubt.

Then 1 sent the bills to Haskall, as I had al- ways been in the habit of doing. Haskall had not seemed quite him- self for some little time. He did not look as well as usual and was often ab- sent-minded. “Aren't you feeling well, Haskall?“ 1 asked as, upon going into the library after dinner, I found him sitting at his desk, his head in his hands. “I'm all right!” he replied, not look- ing up. “Is anything worrying you?” sisted. “Nothing but your questions,“ he an- Swered, impatiently. “But you don't look well, and I no- ticed you ate scarcely any dinner. Won't you tell me if there is anything | can do, any way I can help?“ “Will you please go away and let me alone?’’—this time he fairly snapped the words at me. 1 said no more, but Went to my room, positive that something Was wrong. But what could it be? Haskall Is Very III. ASKALL was really ill, I feared, H He wae sleepless, and very quiet. One night I wakened to hear him tossing in his sleep, and talking ex- citedly in a rambling kind of way. 1 listened a moment, then got quietly up and switched on the lights. His face Was very red; he was burning up with fever, I found as I laid my hand on his head, and he was mumbling, al- most incoherently, something about money and business. I saw at once he was out of his mind, and, calling James to come to me, I telephoned for the doctor; then roused the housekeeper. “He is very ill, Mrs. Burroughs,“ the doctor said. “and appears to be very much run down. Why was I not called before?“ “He denied feeling III.“ I replied, but guiltily. Had 1 not been 80 taken up I per Drummond, more observant. An Offer to Economize. UT for the next six weeks my time — Was spent at Haskall’s side, my thoughts occupied with him. He Was very ill indeed, and for days his life was despaired of. During that time he constantly talked of his business af- fairs; of his fear that he was going to lose his money. I thought of what Mrs. Larkin said the day she spoke of his talking with her husband. Could it de possible that even so long ago as that he had been worried? As he grew better I tried to find out how matters stood. until one day, an- noyed by my questions he admitted re- luctantly that he had lost a great deal of money and that his illness, causing him to be absent from the office just at a time when he was needed, had made things more ‘serious. “Do let us economize,” I exclaimed, “Let the servants go. I will run the house.

The franchise and realty holding company sold for $425,000, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. There are 800 shares in the two com- panies—realty and amusement. The local stockholders let go for $500 a share and that’s the price Hedges got. However, the Cincinnati financiers—McDiarmid and John E. Bruce, both minor stock- holders, added an item of $25,000 to cover their “incidentals’’ in putting over the sale. Ball bought the club from McDiarmid and Bruce, who held options on the stock controlled by Hedges, Walter Orthwein, Bill Ronninger and other lo- cal men. The property at Grand and Do- dier was and is encumbered to the ex- tent of $45,000, and until that is cleared away the completion of the deal will hang fire. However, Ball has until Feb. to deliver the remaining $395,000 An Eleventh Hour Hitch. There's no longer any chance of a hitch in negotiations. However, there was a serious clash, last Thursday, and the possibilities of a complete collapse were 80 roseate that a certain bank opened its doors late in the afternoon and delivered to Phil Ball thirty one- thousand-dollar gold notes, with which to bind the bargain. The probability or a 811 volved only McDiarmid and Hedges. The former, representing Bruce and Ban Johnson, gave Ball a contract of sale at the Cincinnati peace confer- ence. McDiarmid in turn had received a contract of sale from Hedges.

HIS is to be the last installment but one of the serial, now running, “Selling the Browns.” probably next week when Phil Ball pays to Cal MeDiarmid of Cin- cinnati, $395,000, the balance due on the purchase price. The final chapter will be written ernoon he was of the belfef that the Brown deal had failed. Before he was half way home he was advised, however, that the “first financial nail had been driven in the bargain.” Ball took advantage of his contract with McDiarmid and Bruce and left it to them to fight it out with Hedges, who appeared reluctant to let go. In time he became amen- able to the transaction, which is scooting along on a clear track just now. Jones Wants to Buy Stock. The arrival of Fielder Jones, Thurs- lay, will tend to i‘\crease the speed of the final negotiations. Jones wants to “buy in” the Browns and realize the ambition of a lifetime. Jones quit organized baseball in 1907 because he couldn’t acquire an interest in Comiskey’s club. He then retired to the coast. When Jack O’Connor made a fizzle of the man- agerial job and the Racquet Club syndicate forfeited its $30,000. to Heges, who had options on most of the outstanding stock, an opening was offered to Fielder Jones. He came here for a conference and agreed to accept the management of the Browns on the conditions that he could acquire a third interest in the club. Hedges was willing. He and Jones close4 the deal, but Charley Comiskey called a special meeting of the American League and threatened to have Hedges shot at sunrise. Jones went back to the coast, bit- ter against Comiskey. He stayed there until the local Feds waved $12,000 in his face for one year’s work. That brought him back. Now he’s in a position to “buy in” and he’s probd- ably satisfied. Six Fed League Stars Sought by Yankee Owners Donovan Ils After Flack, Archer, Zwilling, Fischer,’ Allen and Knetzer.

Mrs. Anna Broadhead, 23 years old, of N Market street, gave testimony in Police Judge Hogan's court today which caused Jack Sergeant. a negro, of 73 North Leffingwell avenue, to be fined $0 on each of two peace disturbance charges. The fines and costs, totaling $1006, will mean 2333 days in the work- house for Sergeant. Mrs. Broadhead first had Sergeant ar- rested Oct. 31.

KING VICTOR EMMANUEL SAID TO BE IN HOSPITAL WOUNDED Report Sent Out by Overseas News Agency Which Calis It Sen- sational Rumer.” BERLIN, Dec. 28 (By wireless to Say- ville, L. L.)—A report that King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has been wounded by an Austrian grenade and is in a hospital was made public today by the Overseas News Agency, which describes the report as “a sensational rumor.” The news agency adds: “Travelers returning from Northern Italy say that in consequence of the terroristic methods of the police all the people of Italy are panic-stricken. There is a general dislike of the war and it is said that if only the right man were at the head of the Government Italy would make peace in spite of the London agreement. “Another sensational rumor which is generally believed is that a general who is an intimate of the King has been shot for maintaining relations with the enemy.“ | FOOD RIOTS REPORTED IN VIENNA AND AT CHEMNITZ Palace of Archduke Said to Have Been Attached—Women Injured in German City Christmas Day.
