Present Situation a The resolutions adopted by the cem “We sincerely deplore the present ex- in St. Louis County, Board of Excise Commissioners. This policy was made possible by the ap- pointment of a new member of the board and while this member was a eral election held in November, 1914, and had always been known as a Dem- “crat, he was not indorsed, suggested or recommended by this committee for the appointment, and the fact that he has accepted a position on the board to which only a Republican or Progres- tive was eligible stamps his appoint- ment as a political fraud. “We hold that it is no less true of a political party than of an individual that: the sacrifice of principles for ex- pediency dooms that party or individual to ultimate downfall and it appears so plain to this committee that this ap- pointment and the resultant policy of the board is but a: bid for the support of the brewery and saloon interests of the city of St. Lotis that we feel con- principle. “We further feel that this policy is in pursuance of a general understanding relating to excise matters already adopt- ed and in force in the city of St. Louis for the purpose of bartering the power of these officers‘for support of the aforesaid interests, thereby perpetuating the domination of those interests in po- litical affairs and gratifying the ambi- tion of unserupulous, incapable and un- fit public officials. Principles Are Repudiated. “We repudiate these principles, believ- ing that they are fundamentally wrong end opposed to good government. The Democratic party of St. Louis County will not willingly and without protest become a party to any such policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—- Food prices in the United States during 1914 were higher than at any time during the last 37 years with the exception of the years 1882, when they were 4 per cent higher than 1914 prices, 1883 when they were on the same level and in 1912 when they were 1 per cent higher. The Bureau of Labor Statistics in its annual bulletin just issued on wholesale prices of com- modities reviewing the years from 18860 to 1914 discloses that in the & years food prices were highest in 1864 when they were 76 per cent more than 191 prices and lowest in 1896 when they wer 40 per cent below. In the years of the Civil War and during a dozen years or more after- ward prices of all commodities were the highest since 1860 when the first attempt was made at keeping a record of whole- sale prices. In 1864 prices of most com- modities: reached their highest point. Lowest prices were recorded in the years Trom 1894 to 1898. Effect of War Not Shown The effect of the European war on wholesale. prices in the United States is not fully disclosed in the report as prices for only the first five months of the war are recorded. Comparison of Civil War prices with those prevailing in this country during the European war therefore is not possible. The Spanish Amercan war apparently had little ef- fect on wholesale prices as they re- mained on about the same level as they had been in the period immediately pre- ceding it. Farm products prices in 1914 were higher than they had been in ‘the last 4 years. As with food prices their highest point was reached in 1864 when 8 per cent more than in 1914 and lowest in 1896 when 56 per cent below. Clothes and clothing were lower in 1914 than during the previous vear and were higher than at any aime since 1884, when they were on the same level, ex- cept in 1907, 1910 and 1913. Their highest prices were in 1864 when 254 per cent more than 1914 and lowest in 1896 and 1897 when per cent lower. Fuel and lighting .prices. were 5 per cent lower in 1914 than in 1913, but were 82 per cent higher than the lowest point reached in 1884, and 120 per cent below the highest point, reached in 1865. Metals and metal products were lower than they had been since 1906, being 8 per cent below 1918 prices. Their highest point reached in 1864 when 194 per cent higher than in 1914 and lowest in 1898 when 27 per cent below 1914 prices. Lumber and building materials were 4 per cent lower than in 1913, 2 per cent below their highest prices reached in 1864 and 88 per cent above their lowest point reached tn 1897. Drugs 6 Per Cent Higher Drugs and chemicals were 6 per cent higher than in 1918 and higher than they had been in 80 years. They were 250 per cent below their highest point made in 1864 and 88 per cent higher than their lowest prices in 1895. House furnishing goods were higher than they had been in 30 years, being % per cent higher than their lowest prices made in 1897 and 184 per cent be- low the highest prices prevailing in 1864. Prices of all commodities cetnbined were 1 per cent below the prices of 1918 and on the same level as those of 1912. They were lower by 137 per cent than the high prices of 1864 and higher by 88 per cent en the lowest prices prevatiing in ths years of 1896 and 1897.

Modern history is not silent on the practical necessity of supplying such co- ercive authority by combination and the collective use of force, The march of the allied armies upon Pekin in 1900 is a very recent instance of the use of power to enforce the right and inviolability of legation. But going back a hundred years we find. two conspicuous instances, not without value as precedents today, namely: The First and Second Armed Neutralities of 1780 and 1800 respectively. These are the names of two leagues of Neutral states formed under the leader- ship of Russia to combat the pretensions of Great Britain, which crippled the commerce of enemy and neutral alike. Armed Neutrality, The First Armed Neutrality was called into being with the outbreak of our revolutionary war when England's naval Supremacy tyrannized all the seas. Bur- dens were placed upon neutrals almost aé intolerable as were borne by the Americah colonies and the trench ally. Russia issued a declaration declaring among other principles, that munitions ot War and sulphur only are contraband; that enemy goods, other than contra- band, in a neutral vessel are not captur- able and that a blockade to be binding upon neutrals must be enforced by the actual presence of warships off the olockaded. Sweden and Denmark tmme- diately adheréa to the declaration, and with Russia formed a league with the avowed purpose of Using such force as Was necessary to enforce the principles. Spain, France, Holland, Prussia, Aus- tria and the United States acceded dur- ing the year; Fortugai joined in 1782 and the two Sicilies In 1783. N Principles Enunclated. The principles enunciated were un- doubtedly in advance of the actual law and practice: in fact, they were so far in advance that many of the adhering states repudiated them subsequently in their own wars.

A TOWN IN SERVIA, Dec. 3.—A gen- eral headquarters in the field of tne German army resembles closely the management of a large business.

The job in hand would be thoroughly done, they said. The opin- ion of the neutral public and press did not bother them any more, since, as they felt, Germany and her allies could not do anything to please the neutrals. “We depend upon ourselves,” said a Colonel. And while we value the opin- ion of strangers, have valued them too much in Germany in recent years, we have come to the point where we don't care, because caring on our part has not helped us any. If the world choses to believe we are barbarians, then the world must, and no doubt will, please itself. But I say that it cannot influ- ence our action or the outcome of the war when people call us bad names. That will happen, said the Captain.

Visited America Last Winter. “I made a tour of the United States last winter, in the interest of our churches,“ Dr. Roussel said to a Post- Dispatch reporter at the Jefferson Ho- tel. “Everywhere I was asked the ques- tion: ‘What of Alsace? Does it want to return to the dominion of -France?’. In order to answer the question author- itatively, I sought permission from. the War Department to visit the reconquered territory and talk with the people. “Eiverywhere 1 went I found the evi- dence of loyal devotion to France. The old French aristocracy all spoke French, but the younger people spoke nothing but German. The Alsatians are of French blood, and have always dreamed of the day when they would come again under the protection of the French flag. “One of the first things done in the reconquered territory was to re-estab- lish French schools. “Ia Premiere Classe in French in reconquered Ak sace was as interesting and touching as La Derniere Classe,“ as described by Daudet in his wonderful classic.

By RICHARD L. STOKES. S occasional comments in the Bos- ton newspapers prove, memories still linger there of Max Zach's canniness as a program-maker, during his years of service as assistant director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. That his hand has not lost its cunning in this respect was demonstrated in yes- terday’s Symphony Orchestra program at the Odeon, to be repeated tonight, the pair of concerts being in the nature ofa “Happy New Year’ greeting to the music lovers of the city. The program had a threefold distinc- tion. It, presented for the first time in this city the dramatic tenor of the Met- ropolitan Opera Company who has been hailed as a second Jean de Reszke— Edoardo Ferrari-Fontana; it afforded the first performance anywhere of a new symphonic poem, “The Parting Launcelot and Guinevere.“ by Edward Burlingame Hill, instructor of music at Harvard University, and it included a performance of Tschaikowsky’s giant Manfred“ symphony, which came near being the best thing the orchestra has ever done. The concluding number was Dvorak’s masterpiece of rollicking mer- “Carnival” overture, Opus. 92. Tenor Scores, Though Hoarse. Signor Ferrari-Fontana, who has, per- haps, been overworking at the Metro- politan, and in his engagements as guest artist with the Chicago and Pav- lowa Grand Opera Companies, was about as hoarse as a singer can be and still use his voice; and the consciousness of his hoarseness caused a natural attack of nervousness at the first. Yet few artists have received so enthusiastic an acclamation at the Odeon as rewarded his singing. His first number was the universally known, but perennially beautiful aria, “Celeste Alda,“ from Verdi's Aida.“ Tenors complain of this taxing song that it comes at the beginning of the opera, before they have an opportunity to “warm up” their voices by other singing, and Ferrari-Fontana, by choos- ing it as his initial selection, added this handicap to the others he was carry- ing. } The singer shielded his voice as much as possible, saving it for the climax of the aria; but even then its beautiful timbre and and velvety sweetness and sauvity, especially in the baritone reg- ister, were obvious to every listener. And the climax was well worth waiting for. He pealed out the high B-flats with a glorious resonance that had an electrical effect, and caused hundreds of the audience to smile at one another in deep satisfaction, as if to say: Here at last is that rarest of voices, a true dramatic tenor.“ Although in places the strain on the soloist’s voice was distressing to hear, these defects were overlooked for the sake of its beauties, and the applause was so tumultous that he was com- pelled to return to the stage a half dozen times to bow his acknowledg- ments. Superb in Carmen Number. His second number was the equally well-known “Flower Song of Don Jose in Carmen,“ and here the singer's superb mastery of his art was even more evident. There was such exqui- site command of emotional shading, such tenderness of feeling and such dramatic fire, as to give the illusion that it was an operatic instead of a concert stage, and that a real Carmen must be present to inspire the outpour- ing of vocal passion. But Ferrari-Fontana really reached magnificence of song in his encore. Un- like his distinguished wife, Margarete Matzenauer, prima donna contralto of the Metropolitan, who offered a trivial ballad as her extra number at a con- cert earlier in the season, and because of criticism refused to sing any encore shell fire. Strassburg would meet the same fate if the French captured it now. Preached in Rheims Catacombs. 1 visited Rheims and saw the de- struction there. I preached to members of my denomination in the catacombs of Rheims, our church there having been destroyed by German shells. Dr. Roussel was sent as a delegate. Huguenot churches, numbering about their own resources about 10 years ago, upon the separation of church and state in France, and are suffering severely from the effects of the war, he says. Dr. Roussel will preach at U a. m. to- morrow at the Washington and Compton Presbyterian Church, and at 3:30 p. m. Tuesday he will deliver a lecture, in French, before L’Alliance Francaise. At 8 p. m. Tuesday he will speak at the residence of Mrs. Robert Stuart, 4368 Lindell boulevard. Wednesday night he will lecture at the First Presbyterian Church, Sarah street and Washington avenue, and Thursday night, at the Union Avenue Christian Church. He will also deliver a lecture at Mary Institute. His leetures will be illustrated by views, some of which he took on his visit to the trenches. 2 — ͤ —4Gů*— — — —— AN OPPORTUNITY § for a man with $8000 to $10,000 TO 300 The Livest Market Good 3 * 8 Noth “its equal West of New York Pays 20%--Low Overhead. reasons for selling. > *: 2 W. 156, Pog@ Dispateh. of. from France to the United States to make an appeal for ald for the French 700. These churches were thrown upon ; 14 all ry the second concert, eerie 3 caniponitions will be with eagerness. Fontana proffered one of the biggest and most difficult of tenor arias, ‘‘Ridi Pagliacci,” from 1 Pagliacci.” All is said when one concludes that there is only one singer in America who could rerhaps have improved upon Ferrari- Fontana's interpretation, and that is the incomparable Caruso himself. Was Formerly Physician. Ferrari-Fontana has had au unusual career. He was educated as a physician and was for some years employed in the Italian consular service in South America. He loved singing as an ama- teur, and his talents at length led him to enter light opera. A connoisseur in Rome persuaded him to study for grand opera six years ago, and three vears later he made a sensational debut at the Metropolitan. The critics exclaimed that he struck that institution like an electric shock,“ and he has since been regarded as Caruso's only serious rival. He is not noted only for the splendor of his voice itself, but for the intelligence and artistic sense with which he uses it. He is today under the care of a physician, with the hope that his voice will be in normal condition for to- night's concert. 5 In affording its premiere to Hill's symphonic poem, based on Stephen Phillips’ verses, Director Zach gave an- other instance of his sympathy witn ultra-modern music, and his enterpris- ing friendliness to American composers. It is a significant fact that Hill had to travel all the way from Boston, which considers itself the musical Athens of the United States, to hear his composition for the first time in St. Louis. Last year the Boston critics were up in arms because the Ne England’ symphony of Edgar Stillman Kelley of Cincinnati was played in St. Louis before it was heard in Boston. His First Symphonic Poem. This was Hill's first essay in the sym- phonic poem form, his previous com- positions having been songs, chorals and especially ballet music for panto- mimes, and he is the first to admit that “The Parting of Laucelot and Guine- vere” owes a considerable debt to Rich- ard Strauss and the modern French composers. His composition proved to be a bril- liant achievement of program music, not quite as advanced as the work of Schoen- berg and Stravinsky, but still novel enough to strike with pungency upon the ears of those accustomed to the harmo- nies of the classic composers. He can write music that is highly dramatic, such as that describing the entrance of Launcelot, burning “in sudden steel like a blue flame,“ into the nunnery to take his farewell of Arthur’s Queen. And he ean also obtain realistic effects, new but very effective, such as the tremolo of violoncellos and violas which portrayed the departing gallop of Launcelot’s charger. Shows Lack of Coherence, times lacked coherence, but this is a fault to be expected in a first attempt at the big orchestral forms, and one that Hill will, no doubt, remedy in his next works. As he is still a young man, and has undoybted talent and skill, his Tschaikowsky’s music to Byron's poem, Manfred.“ sprang into instant popularity at its first hearing in this city two years ago, and is today one of the greatest favorites of symphony au- diences. [ts performance yesterday by Director Zach and his musicians was completely worthy of the music itself, and praise could .go little farther. San on Export of Medical Hooks.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The board of directors of the St. Louis Provi- dent Association takes this opportunity of thank- ing the Post-Dispatch for the publicity given the association during the past year, and wishes it and its many readers a Happy en Prosperous New Year. The co-operation of the press has been a ma- terial aid to the Provident Association in caring for thousands of persons fiuring the year just closed. The work of the association depends upon zenerous St. Louisans and the press for its con- tinuous success, as an efficient means of helping the sick, those without employment, those too gung or too old to work and those rendered Rute by other unavoidable misfortune. al ispatch and the citizens of St. Louis have do assisted in this work that the association faces 1916 confident of another year of success in re- lieving distress and destitution and in causing the poor to have a new vision of life and a better realization of their own possibilities. The contributions of the past year have been used in supplying fuel, clothing, groceries, medi- cines, and in some instances to pay rent. A num- ter of families have been dependent upon the Provident Association for some time and require meckly assistance. Other families need but tem- porary help. The object of the association is to assist. the poor in changing their condition from one of dependency to f self-support, as well as to relieve distress and suffering. The plan has 3 proven A success. The association, together with the thousands of persons assisted through publicity given by the ‘Post-Dispatch, join in again wishing you and your readers a Prosperous and Happy New Year.

Tue Little Sisters of the Poor return their very sincere thanks to_their kind friends and bene- factors who during the past year have so gen- -erously contributed to the support of so many uged people under their care.

Early in the year the State Legislature ad- journed after a most profitless session. The Post- Dispatch had urged a Workmen's Compensation | law, a revision of court procedure, the creation of a Missouri Land Bank for the benefit of the farmers, the abolition of convict labor, a State- wide mothers’ pension law, a law to prohibit nepotism, a law to insure the removal of the School Board. from political dominatian, a law for home rule in police and excise affairs, a Mu- nicipal Courts bill, and a bill to create the “Outer Park” system for St. Louis. With the exception of a bill fixing a date for the abolition of contract prison labor, and the Land Bank bill, the Legislature failed to enact these much-needed laws. The Land Bank bill was passed in a defective state, so that the in- itlative has had to be invoked to bring it before the people. The other laws mentioned constitute a program still to be worked for. The Post-Dispatch made a long and strenuous fight for the Parkway, exposing fraud in the lists procured by the opposition, and making clear the great benefit of the plan to the city. This also is a basis for a future campaign “for improve- ments which will place St. Louis on the progress- ive plane of competing cities. The work for prison reform made some head- way. The Post-Dispatch brought to light the fact that “convict peonage” was 2 source of enormous profits to the contractors. It demanded and still demands legislation providing that such profits be used in part to support prisoners’ families, in part as wages to the convicts themselves, and in part for the erection of a much-needed new State prison, But the chief end to be attained in Mis- souri is the complete abolition of prison contract labor. In the city election, the Post-Dispatch, follow- ing its custom, named nine candidates whose rec- ords showed them to be unfit for the Board of Aldermen. Every one of these was heavily scratched. Just before the election, acting on information in Tis possession, the Post-Dispatch brought to the attention of Mayor Kiel and the Prosecuting Attorney’s office facts tending to show that Fred- erick, the Republican candidate for Chairman of the Board of Aldermen, was absolutely unfit. The authorities took no action. Frederick was elected, and is now in the penitentiary. The Post-Dispatch was the instrument in exposing this scandal, publishing the first and most com- prehensive news on the matter. Among other mischievous legislation defeated by publicity through the Post-Dispatch were a bill purporting to regulate liquor, but which de- nied the voters the right to the referendum; and a bill denying to Missouri cities their existing right to control their own water, light and gas plants. With a great increase in State revenue, the Board of Equalization, the State Auditor with the support of the Attorney*General ilegally de- ducted from the sehool fund $514,503, to make up a supposed deficit. The Post-Dispatch thoroughly exposed this misuse of office and a court decision compelled the authorities to restore the money to the school fund, where it belonged. A scandal in the Water Department, brought to light by the Post-Dispatch, showing that officials were using city money illegally, induced the Mayor to order a complete audit of the books. Other notable achievements were the victory for St. Louis in the fight for the Democratic Con- vention and the awakening of the merchants to the need for docks for St. Louis, to restore river traffic. The Post-Dispatch was one of the first and heaviest subscribers to the convention fund. And it brought about the creation of the City Waterways Commission and aroused the mer- chants to the importance of à revival of river traf- fic, which is now in a fair way to be realized, through the creation of municipal docks during the coming year. St. Louis is at last awake to its need with regard to the waterway system. Among Post-Dispatch regular, annual achieve- ments, through the co-operation of its readers, it ie gratifying to be able to record that the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund and the Christmas Fes- tival were both splendidly successful. While the year-long fight, in legislative, political and other fields went on day by day and week by week, the Post-Dispatch, as required by its platform, led its readers in sympathy and practical work for the relief of the poor and afflicted of the city. It has fought for progress and reform, has refused to tolerate injustice or corruption, and has re- mained devoted to the public welfare. > » AT A CRITICAL STAGE. Not many quarrels nowadays have that “‘et- the-galled-jade wince’—stage which the Yoakum- Priest controversy has already reached, but before the war it used to be accounted the stage immediately preceding coffee and pistols for two. = = i i NEW YORK’S UTILITY BOARD DISGRACED. Edward E. McCall, President of the Public Service Commission for the City of New York, ‘was removed for cause by Gov. Whitman. A committee of inquiry sitting in the recess of the Legislature showed that he had been ineligible from the day of his appointment because of Ets ownership of utility stock The committee was about to take up the rea- sons which have impelled Commissioner G. V. 8. Williams to obstruct doggedly any reduction of Brooklyn’s exorbitant rate of 95 cents a thousand for gas, when that official sent his resignation to the Governor. But the committeemen are still or the trail of many irregularities reflecting on Commissioner Wood and have disclosed some startling facts. The manner in which suspicions have been confirmed by the inquiry shows that the infer- ences drawn by the public when bodies having the large powers of this board begin the pursuit. of devious ways and reach curious decisions jus- tified by neither facts nor logic are general'y sound. But the idea of a special commissinn to regulate utilities is not affected by the disgrace ‘and loss of public confidence incurred by the orig- inal board of this character as it has been consti- in recent months.

Col. Lyman T. Hay of the Planters and Jeffer- son hotels is recalling and modifying contracts for quarters during the Democratic national conven- tion, whose original terms gave rise to a storm of criticism throughout the country. Certain contracts, without increasing the ordi- nary rate for individuals, required in payment a multiple of the maximum number of individuals a hotel room would accommodate. This payment is reduced. Certain other contracts placed a limit on the number of persons to be quartered in a room at a specified price. This limit is removed. The number of days during which occupancy is guar- anteed is reduced from six to five. In addition, the stipulation causing perhaps the greatest in- dignation, that one-half of the contract price must be paid in advance, is withdrawn, at least in the ö case of public officials of national reputation, wealthy newspaper companies and others of eas- iiy ascertained responsibility. Denunciation of St. Louis should end with these prompt concessions, made as soon as the causes of dissatisfaction became known. To commercialize the arrangements for a national convention is de- plorable. But it must be remembered that,a com- mercial note is early introduced by the custom which eliminates all cities as contestants for a convention unless they subscribe a huge fund far in excess of the legitimate overhead expenses of the gathering. = = i i There are cafe keepers who quail before the fame law. 0 8 '-~ - NEW WAR BRIDE. It has been found that baled hay, subjected to sufficient tension to compress about three times as much hay to a bale as in the ordinary bale of commerce, is impenetrable to shrapnel and other missles and forms an excellent protection on the firing line when properly placed along the trenches. Large export orders of it for this pur- pose are reported. With baled hay as a munition of war, what can prevent the farmer, who is already a large bene- ficiary of the European unpleasantness, grabbing off profits that will put him in a class with the record-breaking “war brides” of the stock exchanges? a, Lp -. .

ONE EVERY 22 MINUTES. * Down in New York they have been analyzing figures on automobile accidents so painstakingly as to show these results: Every 22 minutes one such.accident occurs. Every 13 hours is an accident with a fatal result. . Out of every 100,000 inhabitants 447 are afinually the victims of automobile accidents. In five years. the prevalence of such acci- dents has increased 46 per cent. The last of these statements is the most de- pressing of all. New York may have a greater proportion of automobile accidents than any other city in the world, but the proportion in all American cities is appalling enough. And as in New York the number of accidents is rapidly in- créasing in all other American cities. As the number of motor cars in use increases the severity of the measures against their unsafe operation must increase. Unless something is done the motor car victims will presently exceed the victims-of disease scourges on which a costly war is being constantly made. * W = ö Now, if the railroads will be good and the State will be just, they will both have a happier new year. ST. LOUIS’ DECREASED FIRE LOSSES. Fire losses in St. Louis during 1915 were $1,386.- 672, which is $1,181,770 less than the fire losses during 1914. Stricter enforcement of safety laws, greater precautions against the outbreak of flames, construction betta adapted to resist the spread of fire, increasing official and private vig- (lance are slowly bringing about desired results. Undoubtedly the campaign against arsonists un- a Lp - dertaken late in the year also helped to reduce the destruction due to fire. The total loss from this cause is still far too great, but every incentive is given to continue the preventive wo k of the past. 7 — 9 — Mr. Fairbanks has been promised the support of two states in his campaign for President, be- ginning the run with the same strength with which Mr. Taft ended his four years ago. 881 rer KAISER WILHELM’S BOIL. While everybody else is having a Happy New Year, it is sad to contemplate the Kaiser with a boil on his sacred person. Boils are no respect- ers of sacred persons. ) who have sat uneasy on a throne because of a boil. Everybody who has ever had a boil, including neutrals and enemies, will feel for Wilhelm in | his hour of trial, enveloped in gloom and eating his meals off the mantelpiece. Monarchy suffers its drawbacks, and we would rather be one of his minions in the trenches for the time being than be Emperor of the World with a boil like Wil- helm’s. What do pomp and power and conquest, and glory count beside such a distraction? Pride. melts, ambition wilts; alas, what else is there beside a boil! We wish the Kaiser the happiest New Year dos- sible under the circumstances and recommend that he set the Book of Job up on the mantelpiece and peruse it for his edification and solace. Job set the supreme example of fortitude and faith to boil-sufferers; he scraped his boils with his pot- sherd and sprinkled them with dust and praised: the Lord anyhow. We hope that the Kaiser's faith will persist through the ordeal. Perhaps it will even make him kinder toward his enemies— 10 any event he enjoys our fullest sympathies, from History recalls several | Lay % 1 } 2 oh pet 5 * .

LONDON, Jan. 1—Among the honors conferred by King George at the New Year are the following: Barons—William Waldorf Astor, Lord Charles Beresford, Sir Alexander Hen- derson, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, David A. Thomas and Capt. Cecil William Nor- ton. Among those who receive baronetcies are Vice Admiral Sir Frederick C. D. Sturdee, Sir William Goschen, Sir Charles Johnston and Alfred Booth. The privy councilors named include William Crooks and Sir Frederick Ban- bury. Earl Curson of Kedleston and the Duke of Devonshire are made Knights of the Garter. Lord Mersey is elevated to the rank of Viscount. Aster Became British Subject. Astor’s title is considered as the ful- fillment of the ambition which brought him to England 16 years ago to become a British subject. No one is able to re- call a former instance of an American becoming a British peer, except in the case of Lord Fairfax of Cameron. It is gossip that some of the King’s advisers entertain the belief that Astor’s honor. will be especially pleasing to Amert- cans. Astor’s reputed candidacy to the peer- age was a topic which greatly engrossed society after he launched his career as a British subject. Unfortunately for his ambitions they were beclouded by an in- cident which is supposed to have in- curred for him King Edward's displeas- ure. A popular British officer is said to have appeared at Astor's London mansion, although his name was not on the invitation list. The officer arrived with a party of invited guests with whom he had been dining, which is fre- quently the case in London society. As- tor, it is said, requested the officer to depart and King Edward was reputed to have been much irritated, since the officer held a high place in the King’s esteem. Contributed to War Funds. Astor has made large contributions to the war funds. His daughter-in-law is one of the famous Langhorne sisters, well known in the United States for their beauty. She has been an active worker among the wounded. Crooks is the secvad labor party lea- de: to be made a member of the Privy Council, which, theoretically consists of the King’ a‘bpecial advisers. When King lidwara “vu gazetted John Burns to the Czuncil there was great speculation as to whether “Honest John” ever would consent to exchange his bowler hat and reefer jacket for the trappings apper- taining to that office, but he appeared on the necessary occasions in all the glory of a gold-laced coat, knee breeches, Ut stockings, chapeau and Court sword. There are few men in England who appear less adapted to these embellish- ments of raiment than Crooks, the typi- cal British laborer, but his appointment emphasizes the drawing together of the classes which tne war has brought about. Crooks rendered great services i. recruiting, and this recognition of his work, it is believed, will be popular with the people. The conferring of a baronetcy upon Lord Beresford will remove from the House of Commons to the House of Lords one of the hardest hitting and most untrammeled debaters in the lower Pe — — ew str gee ee 9 van and Viscount GERMANY WILL WIN WAR IS IS LEADERS’ NEW YEAR VIEW for Peace Only One Dissenting Opinion Among Those Printed by Newspapers—Dr. Solf Hopes in 1916. BERLIN, Jan. I. New Tear mes- sages from prominent men, all showing the firm determination of the German people to carry the war to a vigorous end, and the conviction that Germany cannot be defeated, were published today in the German newspapers. Dr. Wilhelm sent the following message to the Ham- burger Fremdenblatt: “My hope is that the year 1916 will bring our enemies to realize the impos- the German nation a peace, which espe- clally in the colonial realm, will permit the people of Hamburg to rejoice heart- ily with me.“ Gen. Liman von Sanders, commander of the Turks and Germans at the Dar- danelles, telegraphed to the Lokal An- seiger as follows: “The world may build on Germany’s future, because Germany’s strength has been developed in the sense of the beau- tiful Turkish proverb, ‘Paradise lies be- neath the shadow of the swords.’ May ic be ever 80.“ Dr. Adolf Werman, Chief Burgomaster of Berlin and former Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, sent the following message: “The wonderful successes which our victorious armies, together with those of our allies, have achieved in all the theaters of war, are all the stronger guarantee for the future, in that they have shown the inherent strength, the true virtue of the German people. The longer the war bears down upon the na- tions the more firm and stubborn will our enemies find the determination of the German people to persevere. and en- dure.“ Ratheneau's Wish Realized. Dr. Walther Ratheneau, president of the German General Electrical Co. and chief organizer of Germany's war in- dustry, said: “When in the spring of 1914 a news- paper asked me for an Easter greeting for the German nation, I expressed the wish that the German nation might have a will strong as iron, a glorious, united will, to defend and maintain themselves. That will has in the meantime come ino existence. Necessity has drenched the brow with sweat. Love has merged us one with the other. We know the justice of our cause. In its triumph, whether near or distant, we believe.“ Prof. Lujo Brentano, one of the lead- ing national economists of Germany, says in the Hamburger Fremdemblatt: Solf, the imperial Colonial Secretary, | sibility of defeating us, and vouchsafe!- saw the coming of this war ever since 1900. I was glad it broke out in 19144 and not a few years later. En- gland's jealousy over the economic ad- vance, Russia’s desire to get Constanti- nople by crushing Austria; such are the real causes of the war. “I am happy to think that my son is fighting in this war, just as my brother fought in 1870, and my father in 1813 and 1815. My hope of victory for Germany and her allies is today even firmer than in July, 1914. My hopes for an early peace would have been great if a Statesman of genius had stood at the head of the United States, who, with a view to the future danger threatening } his country from England’s side, would have prohibited the export of munitions. Russia, France, Italy Tired. “Russia, France and Italy are finan- clally exhausted. It is England who is today preventing an early peace. She herself will only give in after Egypt has been menaced. I hope this may come about during the next six months.“ Franz von Mendelssohn, president of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, says in the Berliner Tageblatt: “The terrible devastations caused by A world war like the present devesta- tions which caused the economic or- ganization of all nations, which nat- nrally left their traces also in Germany. Nevertheless, in spite of all the difficul- ties with which we have had to reckon since the outbreak of the conflict, the condition of German economic life at the end of the present year is in most branches more satisfactory than any- body foresaw 12 months ago.“ Single Dissenting Voice. The only dissenting note comes from Dr. Gustav Stresemann, member of the Reichstag, and a leader in the financial and industrial world, who says: “The war has now lasted longer than most of us expected it to last. Some are asking whether the war will really have the necessary educational results Pessimists declare that a feeling of weariness has come over us and predict that this feeling of weariness wil be followed by a feeling of collapse, imipos- ing the highest sacrifices upon millions at the front and millions at home with- out bringing the war to an end. “Our military leaders have understool how to fight and win, but our states- nien have not understood how to make use of these victories to touch the chord of public? opinion and carry with them the soul of the nation.“ — branch of Parliament. In the heavier atmosphere of the House of Lords, he will hold a more important position, but his friends believe he will not have half as much fun when deprived of opportu- nities for striking at both political and personal opponents, which. Quarterdeck Charley“ keenly enjoyed. Knights of Garter Made. Two of the vacancies in the Order of the Garter, which was created when the banners of the Knights that the Em- perors of Germany and Austria, and the lesser members of their families owned, were removed from Windsor Chapel, are filled by the designations of Earl Cur- zon and the Duke of Devonshire to the order which is the most exclusive of all British distinctions.

VIENNA, Dec. 10.—Enormous sums of money have been collected in Aus- tria-Hungary for charitable purposes during the war. No reliable figures on the total obtained are yet available, but estimates place it as high as 240,- 000,000 crowns (approximately $48,- 000,000). Much of this money has been applied already, but large sums are still available for the needs of those tor whom it was collected. The money has been raised in every manner the fertile brains of social leaders and newspaper editors could devise. Charity teas and suppers, the sale of needlework done by society people, benefit performances at the theaters, the public sale of art ob- jects which people were willing to donate, and a hundred similar enter- prises have given keen competition to the plain subscription and collection campaigns waged by the newspapers. At present an art exhibition sale is in progress, from which both the ad- missiun fees and entire proceeds of sale will go to the fund for blind vet- erans. Some of the foremost painters of the country have contributed to the collection, and while many of the pic- tures are by unknown men and women, there is not one in the lot that aoes not have merit of a high order. Going on at the same time are several series of lectures on the war by the Austro-Hungarian and German war correspondents, invalided officers and statesmen. Interest Is General. All social classes take an interest in the work, and a remarkable fea- ture of it is that a year of collections has left the ardor of organizers and of the public almost undiminished. A Happy | out, many of the recent ones assuming the character of self-im- posed taxation in small amounts. Of these a ten-heller (two cents) tax on all bills is probably the most suc- cessful. Of newspaper collections that ot the Vienna Freie Presse has been the most remarkable. It has included the raising of large sums for blind veterans, for prisoners of war, for Christmas presents for soldiers, for the supply of artificial limbs, for the Bulgarian and Austrian Red Cross, for the tubercular. soldiers, for widows and orphans, for assistance to needy artists, for fugitives from the Southern theater of the war, for increas- ing the submarine fleet, and numerous other specific purposes. A prominent Budapest newspaper, Az Est, for instance, collected nearly 2,000,- stroyed during occupation by the Rus- sians. A scheme was devised for this col- lection. It is customary in Hungary to make presents to a woman on a day carrying her name in the calendar. For instance, on St. Mary’s day all Marys in Hungary are remembered by their friends. Az Est suggested that the money to be spent in this way be turned over to the ae ae fund. Fruit of Self-Denial Much of the money that is being col- lected is the fruit of little self-denials, a single day’s list showing such entries as the following: “Instead of buying a new dress, 200 crowns; in place of birthday presents tor my father, 80 crowns; instead of flowers for the grave of Capt. -——, 100 crowns; to give satisfaction in an affair of honor, 2000 crowns; for the birth of a son, 200 crowns.” There is no doubt that Austria-Hun- gary's population, without distinction to class, has come ioyally to the support of those in the field and their families, and those whom the war has deprived temporarily of means of livelihood. While the exchange of Red Cross and similar funds between Austria-Hungary and Germany has been solely a matter of courtesy between allies, Austria-Hun- gary has already spent the greater part of a million crowns in Red Cross work in Bulgaria. It has sent military equip- ment and supplies worth over a million crowns to Turkey, and even in Poland Austro-Hungarian charity work has been felt. As soon as conditions in Servia make it possible, it is understood that money and supplies will be sent there also, it We Wish You New Year Stix, Baer & Fuller Dry.

Right now, Richard von Dach, who plays left forward for the five and sur- prised his friends by eloping to Belle- ville only the other day, is ranked as Zachritz he has a running mate who also is a star of the first magnitude. Both thebe boys can be counted upon to make things interesting for the in- vaders. Then, Bill Joern at center must not be overlooked. In every game played by the Tangled C. last year, Bill was one of the chief point scorers. It would be hard to find a better pair of guards than Fitzgerald and Fisher. The five is long on substitute material, having Hodge, Pahiman, Marquard and Pahl- man to select from. Paddy Fitzgerald claims that his second-string players are not many points behind the regulars. In point of experience the invaders may have something on the locals. The I. A. C. men have been playing together for the past six years, while this is only the second season that the five basket throwers, who will represent the C. A. amassed a total of 106. They have scored 465 points against only 78 for the oppo- sition. Then they also boast of a rec- ord of having lost only one game out of. 52 played in the last five years. Paddy Fitzgerald's hopes have played only three contests this year, but have won them all by good margins. The highest total was 78 runs up against the scrubs in a clash this week. So this afternoon when champ meets champ Charley Reber and Heine Lind- say. the officials, should be in for a busy. time. They'll have a busy time enforcing the new rules which put a player out of the game for four personal fouls and also banish nim for shoving an opponent. 1 A preliminary game between McKinley High and Grand Avenue United Presby- terian has be n arranged.

Henry Ford Sinclair, who lifted the noble athletes out of the baseball trenches by Christmas,“ is scheduled to hesitate here Monday on his way from Tulsa; Ok., to New York City. A conference with Phil Ball, Otto Stifel and Fielder Jones is planned, and if it is Jones’ intention to buy any of the surplus Federal League talent, he will be given the opportunity to speak up like a man in Sinclair's presence. Wat Jones’ plans are, only Jones knows. However, the Browns’ manager was rather curious to.know upon his arrival here Thursday whether any of the better Fed players had been dis- posed of. “It will be a mistake to let Chicago, Boston or Detroit get any of the better players. said Jofies. “It also will be remiss to let them get away from the American League. We have a chance to balance up the league and make it faster and stronger than any organiza- tien in history, and I hope we do so.” And here's an inside tip: Hal Chase and “Toots” Schulz of Buffalo and Bill McKechnie of Newark may yet be added to the Brown roster. They are fancied by Jones. How Detroit Sees It. Up in Detroit, the home of the flivver, they're trying hard to laugh at St. Louls. ©. A.

Aberg- got the winning fall by means of a chancery and inside arm hold. It was an exciting bout, while it lasted, with the masked wrestler show- ing great gameness and considerable skill. Once Aberg got a full Nelson hold on his opponent and kept it for 1 minutes. But even that was not enough to force the marvel' to lower his colors. Capt. Meade of the Twenty-second Police Precinct ordered the promoters of the bout not to stage it on the ground that the masked grappler was in no hysical condition to go on with a ard bout. But after a physician had pronounced the wrestler to be in fit Physical condition, the wrestlers took the stage.

On the recoris of last year this seems to be the case, but then a year makes a lot of difference. For instance: Last year the Nationals finished sixth in the same league in which they are now the leaders. In the national cup competition the Pullmans handed the ackards of Detroit, the team that finished sec- ond in the Michigan State League, a drubbing. This makes it loo as though the Chicago team is the stronger. This will not be proved, though, until after the game _ today. One thing certain, in the Naval eserves the Nationals are tackling the fastest eleven ever gotten together by a lo- cal manager. They are all speed demons, those Navals. What's more, they have surprised even their most ardent followers in the St. Louis League games this season. The Forward Line Is Fast. That forward line of the team, composed of Schwarz, Maender, Cliff Brady, Ry and Mulvey, can run rings around anythMg in this city. What's more, all of them, espe- clally Schwarz, has a boot and he’s liable to toe one into the net at any time. Then theres nothing slouchy about the three half- backs, Peters, Kelso an Bob.

Sinclair, sometime ago, offered $1,250,- 000 for shares of the Giants’ stock controlled by Hempstead and Ashley Lioyd, but this offer was turned down and the negotiations were called off. sinclair recently declared in St. Louis that he was through with baseball.

HE football expert t@ whom we are indebted for these statistics writes of Dobie’s work: „Many other coaches have gone through a season, or maybe two or three, without a defeat, but, sooner* or later, through the loss of stars or some other misfortune, all have seen their team beaten. Dobie alone has been able, year after year, with any material, to mold a combination that has taken the measure of the best opposition that has been sent against him. heavy Doobie backs, and during severa of the eight years he has been at —ͤ—ͤ he has had them. At other times he has been forced to get along with slow. heavy men, or light, fast ones. Whether fast or slow, heavy or light, they always seemed to . there on schedule time, because - bie inspired them with gameness where cther things were missing. He would not tolerate a quitter on his team, no matter how great his natural ability. It has been that thing more than any other that has made his teams unbeatable. 4 1 — ’ ’ Even Camp Couldn't See Em. OTHING shows the pathetic down- fall of Yale's football system bet- ter than the composite statistics of All- America elevens drawn up by Walter Camp, former Yale player and for years head adviser of Yale’s coaching staff. Some enterprising wight has burned the midnight kilowatt hours recklessly and compiled the total number of Tale, Harvard, Princeton and Penn players that have figured on the All-America Camp teams since he started the sys- tem in 1889. Since that time Yale has had . Harvard 69, Princeton 51 and Pennsylvania u All-America stars. But the significant fact is that in the last two seasons Yale HAS NOT HAD ONE MAN good enough to make Camp’s first eleven. 7. 2 believes in — ORMERLY it was nothing for Yale to have five and six men named seven men that made the first Camp eleven men that made the first Yale teams. Only once in 21 years, prior to 1910, did the Blue fan to have more than ons man on the All- America. In the last six years Yale has drawn blanks twice and twice has hed but one man on the first team. Harvard has never falled to get a@ man on Camp's eleven. Also in the last six years, where seven Yale men have made the All-America, 19 Har- vard players have been given places, When a loyal supporter of Yale like Camp publicly rebukes his university players for their Show- ing by falling to recognize their merit, there surely must be some- thing “rotten in * * * Old Man Dope Starts Early.

Mayor Kiel yesterday vetoed a bill re- cently passed by the Board of Aldermen regulating “‘cheap’’ lodging houses. The Mayor said he did so becausé he was convineed that the State and city laws applying to such places were sufficient. The bill, which would have imposed ad- ditional requirements on lodging-house keepers, was sponsored by the Civic League, but opposed by managers of such houses. The bill prohibiting the use of com- mon towels in public places was signed.

Kennerley, isthe best introduction possible for so important a work by this young poet, whose talent both in verse ard dramatic composition has been generously praised. He writes: Isadora Duncan said to me one day, ‘If only there was a simple English version of “Iphigenia,” as human as the Greek, no rhymes, no inversions, no loss of meaning in the sound!’ And when I wrote her this she liked it, and used it. Therefore the blame or praise be partly bers.“ DEMOCRACY AND THE NATIONS. HERE is undoubted timeliness 1 in the call of Dr. J. A. MacDon- | ald, editor of thé Toronto Globe, who preaches eloquently in his “Democracy and the Nations” in be- half of the cause ef internationalism. The book is made up of a number of essays and addresses, many of the latter having been delivered to Amer- ican audiences in recent months. The author believes it ig time for the nations to lay aside that conception of patrotism which blindly over-ex- alts fhe national spirit, and replace it with a sentiment that will create a world neighborhood of the nations. Toward this ideal, the inevitable goal of true democracy, Doctor Mac- Donald thinks great strides have al- ready been taken. He cites the com- paratively recent transformation of the British “empire” into a group of self-governing nations, bound to the parent nation only by the possession of a common titular head and by a community of interests and ambitions bred by the extension of democratic ideals. His picture of the magic suc- cess of England's policy in extending the application of English principles of democracy to English colonies re- calls the prophetic but unregarded words of Edmund Burke in the En- glish Parliament in 1775 In advocat- ing a lenient policy toward the Amer- ican colonies, My hold of the colonies is in the close affection which grows from common names, from kindred blood, from similar privileges, and equal protection. These are ties which, though light as air, are as strong as links of iron.“ Further evidence of the approaching realization of the world brotherhood” idea Dr. MacDcnald finds in the rela- tions of Canada and the United States. His analysis of the democratic achieve- ments of the two nations shows the result to be essentially one, although af- fected by Canada without bloodshed. He calls attention to the faith in an accomplished peace evidenced by the ex- istence of an unprotected boundary line. His fine slogax is, where nation nieets nation, where sov- ereignty greets sovereignty, where flag salutes flag, but never a fortress, never a battleship, never a gun, never a sentry,on guard. Four thousand miles of civilized and Christianized interna- tlonalism.“ i The pro-British viewpoint in reference to the present European conflict me- vitably appears occasionally in these ad- dresses—some were delivered in Canada —but no charge of bias can properly, be brought against an important book that is essentially idealistic, not political. The style is that of the lecture »-latform, effective if taken in small amounts, but perhaps too highly colored for continu- ous reading. (George Doran Co.) A taln,“ by Bettina von Hutten. The rarrative deals with the “neglécted’’ wife of an English statesman who falls into a flirtation that is heading for a disastrous finale. Her friends persuade her to go to her husband's country place, Bird's Fountain,“ and there in the midst of nature's refreshing quiet she comes to herself and decides to love her husband. Can you imagine a more insipid and stale theme? Neverthel Mrs. von Hutten can write so well that „Bird's Fountain,” makes fair reading for those who don't care how soon they forget a story after they have skimmed through it. (D. Appleton.) “BIRD'S FOUNTAIN.” FRESHLY, daintily told story of a stale situation is Bird's Foun- THE BOOK OF THE HOMELESS. A volume that in years to come wil! be highly valued as a memento of the great war, even apart from its interest as a collection of original, unpublished contributions of foremost European and American writers and artists of the day, is The Book of the Homeless” (Le Livre des Sans-Foyer”), which the Goribners will publish this month. Its editor is Mrs. Edith Wharton, and the from its sale are to go entirely To understand what the book fs, it is into being: Mrs. Wharton was in and as goon as the opportunity opened | te give active help against the wan suffering occasioned Lours: BE 81 EST BEAL EStat OF care to 77. The Children of Flanders Rescue Committee was founded by Mrs. Wharton on the request of the Belgfam Government in April, 1916, to eave the lite children of Belgium who were @riven from their homes by the Ger- man invaders. At present it provides E refugee children with food, clothes, and occupation, as well as 28 old peo- foundation of these societies it was sup- posed that they would be necessary for but a few: months, and funds were col- lected on that theory—almost entirely from American sources. When it be- came evident that the work would have to be continued at least for another year and probably for more, some other way of raising sufficient money to car- ry it on had to be found. In searching for this Mrs. Wharton forthed the plan of creating this book. It is made up largely of pictures and compositions in prose and poetry, prepared for that ole purpose, on Mra, Wharton's invit 1. and its list of contributors includes 8. « names as Thomas Hardy, Gen. Joffre, John Caisworthy, Emile Verhaeren, Bar- rett Wendell, Me cerbohm, E. H. Blashfield, Claude Monet, Rodin, and John S. Sargent. All of the 58 contri- butions, in music, prose, poetry and ple- tures, were made without any remuner- ation, purely for the cause, and the book was published in the same way. The original sketches, autograph arti- cles and musical scores contributed to the collection will be sold by auction in New York after the publication of the book, and the proceeds of this auction also will be devoted exclusively to the American Hostels for Refugees and the Children of Flanders Rescue Commit- tee. . A WORTH WHILE WAR BOOK. OYD CABLE, whom nobody has — ever heard of and whose identity is not disclosed in his book, Be- tween the Lines, has nevertheless written a war masterpiece. The volume is divided into several sketches on vari- ous phases of the great conflict, and each of them is of surpassing excel- lence. Cable, who apparently has been at the front in some capacity, is not overwhelmed by the grandeur of the war nor thrown into an abyss of melan- choly by its sadness. He sees through clear, cool, sane eyes and what he saw he wrote with a pen that speaks the language of all emotions with sincer- ity. One incident called The Cost” de- scribed the blinding of a. doctor while dressing. wounded in the forward trenches is a sublime bit of work. Some day it will be singled out of the ruck of countless war narratives and held up as an example of perfect control In writing.. Cable’s sketches as a whole gives one a better understanding of war as it is than any preachment that has ever been written. Those persons who are keen for war at any price should read the book. (E. P. Dutton.) T Industry.“ by D. F. Dunbar, is : the outgrowth of a prize offered by the Hart Schaffner & Marx company of Chicago, which was offered as a stimulus to the study of the commel- cial industries in America by college students. This volume was awarded the first prize of $1000. The book deals with the origin and growth of the tin industry. Gives an interesting comparison of the manufac- ture of tin plate in the United States and in Wales; treats comprehensively with the manufacture and the legisia- tion concerning the industry and tells of the associations and combines for the control of the business, and aiso con- tains many illustrations, in the form of maps and charts describing the ups and downs of the business.

Tr new edition of Out of Work, by Frances A. Keller, is a hand book on this important and vexin: American problém. It comes at a tin when the country is desirous of findiny out the extent of unemployment, the reasons for it and perhaps ways 0 remedying this great social sickness. The author finds that one of the mos! baffling facts ts that there is really no way of ascertaining the real extent of unemployment in this country. It # mostly guesework because of lan ‘atistics. The various chapters take up phases of the problem as it applies tu men, women and children, as well as to various groups of works, particularly the tmmigrants. At the close of the book the author gives a program for America calculated to mintmize this evil. The program calls for Federal legislation and Federal control of this situation which touches the entire coun- try and must be handled in a big, broad, rational manner. (Putnam.)
